Volume II: The Relics of the Throne Chapter 16: Vision I
"Go back to sleep. ”
She looked disappointed. Xia Ming didn't know where this disappointment came from, but since there was nothing to do with him, he didn't hurry up and hide under the covers. It's so turbulent outside, and if you're not careful, you'll burp.
"Catch the boss signal!" A loud shout came, startling everyone who was busy with their work.
A man with a single magnifying glass in his ear was also frightened by himself, and a mutual sensing bead in his hand was emitting a heartbeat-like golden flash, first exhaling and inhaling at a slow pace, then getting faster and faster, indicating that the tracker was approaching.
Thirty meters...
Twenty meters...
Ten meters...
"Stand up!"
Shang Yun stood up first, and then everyone stood up, they leaned over slightly, and said respectfully and neatly: "Hello boss!"
There was silence, a rustle of raindrops on the umbrella shed, and a few seconds later a small gray bird fluttered its wings and passed quietly over their heads. The bird's eyes lit up with two dim red dots in the night, and it suddenly lowered its head, as if it couldn't understand what the fools were doing.
A girl in the crowd cried on the spot, "Could it be that the boss has been killed... Who will pay us in the future..."
Shang Yun also came up silently and comforted the man: "Don't be afraid, we are professional frauds, the boss is so rich, just write a suicide note." ”
Xia Ming didn't expect that he even had a suicide note ready, but he didn't have any property, huh? There are also a few smelly socks in the bedside drawer... A few coins may be found in the smelly socks.
Seeing that there seemed to be a lot of people at the exit from the ancient forest to the dormitory area, he went around to avoid attracting attention, and the puppet was not that fast, especially in the forest with many obstacles. But when he was about to get back to his dormitory, the puppet with the soul link flew out of the forest, and in a straight line that they sensed together, it happened to pass their shift changing point, which caused a misunderstanding.
Back in the dormitory, Xia Ming didn't immediately take off his clothes and jump into the bathroom to purify himself after becoming a soup chicken. He drew his sword, and the lights in the room lit up with the snap of his fingers. He crouched under the lamplight and leaned the blade of his sword over.
Sure enough, the sword, which was regarded as some kind of token, was missing a small opening, although it was only the size of a few hairs, but he suddenly became obsessive-compulsive, like a girl with a full body and a full face, with a black mole on her nose, and even two or three hairs on the mole.
But isn't this a treasure and sword that is known as blowing hair and breaking hair, and blood does not stick to the edge?
But what happened to the later Spark?
Xia Ming tilted the sword body along with the light, and wiped the rain on it with his hands, without the previous smooth touch, and even a slight astringency, this is an ordinary sword, although the craftsmanship is exquisite, but it is indeed an ordinary iron sword. He recalled the words of Eddie Nut, who, after he released the Law of Order to defend against the "arrows" that were being fired from all sides, said, "This knife is the equivalent of an ordinary hunting knife."
In this way, this world should not be said that there are still many secrets about the truth of this world around him.
What is this world exactly?
The breeding ground of monsters, the cage of gods, the graveyard that humans have found for themselves...
There was a gunshot outside the window, and the orange firelight stained the glass window, Xia Ming was startled, and the sword in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
Xia Ming bent down, his fingers just touched the blade of the sword, and a transparent window popped out, Iron Sword: Durability 499.99/188up/1000, weight 3.3069339 pounds, length 1.19...
Before he could finish reading the above content, it disappeared in a blink of an eye, Xia Ming rubbed his eyes, maybe he was too tired. He looked at the windowsill, where there was a pot of bluegrass on the desk in front of the windowsill, which had existed before and should have been left by the previous owner. Originally, Xia Ming was still an eyesore, but a series of things made him have no time to take care of it, and sometimes it was very convenient to use it to press things, so Xia Ming let it fend for itself.
Because it has never been taken care of, most of the bluegrass has been scorched, and when winter comes, even the spiders that nest on it are gone, and the weather has been dry in recent days, and there is not a single green leaf left.
Xia Ming simply pulled it out and threw it into the trash, but he didn't expect the root system of the bluegrass to be developed, this pull pulled out the whole piece of soil, and change it to a new one another day, although he was poor and white, but... You can be robbed! And the points you just exchanged can also take a lot of time, and all transactions in the academy are equivalent to points.
A dark shadow appeared outside the window, and it struck the glass again and again, knocking the hard glass out of it.
Xia Ming opened the window, Xiao Ming came back, and it circled the room a few times. Xia Ming put the sword in the sheath and placed it on the knife holder under the wall, and it landed at this time, it seems that the master and the clone do have a certain connection.
After taking a hot shower, Xia Ming sat in front of the window, but felt less tired. It's an illusion, a temporary tranquility after a busy day, which means that you can sleep well tonight, and before you fall asleep, your brain tends to become clearer, and your heart tends to be calmer.
Outside the window, the crimson light was reflected, the "ten" beacon above the castle was still burning, and all kinds of signals exploded above the forest. Through the translucent frozen glass, it was all distant and quiet, familiar and strange.
My mind went back to more than ten years ago, on a snowy day, when all the children were locked in the house, they saw angels floating over the roof, so they longed for freedom.
The so-called freedom is to run to the roof, and whoever climbs the highest in a group of boys is the boss. As a result, the grandson of Uncle Wang's family at the head of the village broke his leg, and the son of Aunt Shen on the opposite side lost a hand, and so-and-so became a fool...
But even the name is so passerby, and there is no chance of ill-fated fate.
Xia Ming often helped his mother dry vegetables or something, and stood at a higher place smoothly, he looked into the distance and saw that the city wall known as a giant had become a cage, he was a little stupid at that time, why did he look similar to the pigsty of Uncle Tu's house at the head of the village?
This made him realize that the world is not as simple as it seems, so the path to his future has become two, either to be a fat pig, or to climb out of the wall to be a wild boar, and to be a brave wild boar in this life.
The light of the fire outside the window gradually blurred, the sound slowly fell silent, and he fell asleep on the table.
All the cold was kept out of the window, and in the middle of the night there was another loud tremor, and the storm outside gradually subsided. A pig is a pig, and if he wakes up, he will definitely see the amazing black vortex outside the window, completely absorbing the spatial order in the jungle of lightning.
The next morning, Xia Ming woke up in a daze, and the first thing he saw was the pot of orchid grass on the table, and there was still a leaf that had not withered. His idea was to wait until it was completely withered that day before throwing it away.
Unexpectedly, he noticed that there were many figures walking around the window, black smoke rising everywhere, and it seemed that it was still on fire last night?
He walked out of the dormitory, just in time to bump into Fei Lin who came back with a gray face, he asked in surprise, Fei Lin was already dark, and at this moment he showed a mouthful of white teeth, "People from the two major departments of the academy have sent letters, saying that the alien creatures in the test area have run away, and let us help block the exits..."
Xia Ming knew that he was a small cadre of the Storm Society, and of course he had to come out in case of an emergency.
He paused for a moment and said, "However, the shadow of the monster was not seen, but it was a fire that burned all night. ”
Ferrin pointed to the back of his head, his hair burning, and said, "Looks like I'm going to have to be a wicked person for a few months..."
He looked a little lost and a little helpless, Xia Ming didn't dare to ask more.
The office area of the intelligence department of the student union.
I don't know why, the temperature here today is indeed very warm, and the snow on the ground has melted, but the snow falcon's office area is indeed full of snow. Both on the ground and on the dead branches of the trees are covered with white feathers. Some puppet machines flew by, all of them dried and emaciated into skeletons. The not-so-bright wings creaked and creaked, and with the early morning glow, it felt like Xiang Wu had broken into the residence of a certain mountain demon king.
The crow feathers may be more vivid, after all, they are crows.
The people who came and went were running with their heads down, and suddenly four people passed by him with something on their backs. They carried a stretcher, on which lay a .. Two, a few people, he suddenly remembered that he knew them, they were the mechanical guards who were going to collect protection money.
Xia Ming came here to find them to repay the money.
Walking into their customer service hall, it was still the two girls, Nicole and Jane, who were still sitting here. Before dawn, they stood at the counter and slept. Xia Ming couldn't help but praise the hero's good kung fu, thinking that Zhang Monkey had also practiced such a miracle when he was punished for standing.
Jian Zi opened her eyes in a daze, startled by the person in front of her. She hurriedly held down Nicole and bowed together, "Hello boss." ”
Nicole was also confused, "Isn't the boss dead?" When she bent over, the whole person fell asleep on her stomach.
Sleeping in front of your boss during work hours and talking nonsense?
Jian Zi hurriedly helped to intercede.
Xia Ming made a silent gesture and motioned not to wake her up. He whispered, "I'm looking for your boss." ”
"The boss and the others are waiting inside, please move the boss. ”
Xia Ming touched a question mark on his head, followed Jian Zi to the second floor, and stopped in front of a door.
Jian Zi said, "Inside." She was about to push the door, but Xia Ming hurriedly stopped her, "How do you know I'm coming." Through the crack in the door, he saw a lot of people sitting inside.
"Our second eldest is known as the moon in the water, watching the stars, there is nothing he did not expect. ”
The door opened, everyone stood up in unison, and said respectfully and neatly: "Hello boss!"
This time, I finally didn't make a mistake, and I blamed those subordinates who didn't do a good job.
They applauded, meaning that his heroic performance in the ancient forest last night was worth learning from. What Xia Ming may not know is that the reason why they thought that the mechanical guard was not activated was because the boss was fighting for glory for their student union and fighting for them to explore outside the wall, and if the mechanical guard was activated, it wouldn't count.
Xia Ming was stunned and was pushed to the top of the conference table by Jian Zi.
Jian Zi quickly withdrew and arranged for someone to serve tea.
The little ones were respectful to him, probably because he was the boss who paid them, and the big guys were respectful to him because he had won the honor for the student union.
Shang Yun stood up and introduced: "Under Shang Yun, he is currently the head of the Snow Falcon Intelligence Department. ”
Xia Ming shook hands with him.
"This is the second-in-command, the stars, known as 'the moon in the water, watching the stars'..."
"The third-in-command Mu Linlin, the leader of the strategy team..."
"The fourth-in-command Yu Sheng, the leader of the technical team, the mechanical guard is what he copied..."
Xia Ming glanced at him, it turned out that this product was the designer of the half-hanging water.
"The fifth-in-command, Lin An, the leader of the archive team..."
Shaking hands one by one, Xia Ming officially became the behind-the-scenes boss of the Snow Falcon intelligence department, just because of an unexpected bag of gold coins.
Xia Ming said, "We used a mechanical guard yesterday, and I want to get that money back. ”
The leader of the technical team said: "The battlefield is still being cleaned up, if you find it, you will return it immediately." ”
"The news of i943, did you do it?" Xia Ming tried to keep his voice as low as possible so that his voice would not tremble.
Everyone's hearts jumped slightly when they heard this, and the sunlight shone in through the glass from behind him, and they couldn't see his face clearly.
Shang Yun explained, "Didn't you hunt i943? that's the authoritative information of the academy's high-level officials..."
Xia Ming also heard their suspicions about this kind of statement, but under authoritative intelligence, they all believed it. Then this is one thing that is certain, he is being used as bait, in a frenzy to seduce prey.
Xia Ming said: "I didn't kill it, to be precise, it was its owner who killed it." ”
"Then my archives aren't a lot of fakes!" Lin An exclaimed. Everyone glanced at him, and several of those things were true and accurate, such as yesterday's Devouring Key, which was not only outdated information but also fake, but they didn't say it, they didn't bother to do it.
The people of the special operations team used mirror beads to draw the image of the hunter, the light was projected above the desk, and the mysterious hunter was standing in the rain, but he couldn't tell the difference between tall and short and thin in size, so Xia Ming provided them with more details and data.
He was only about 1.5 meters tall, and the head of the archives team immediately arranged for someone to find the list of compound heights, as well as the model of the hunting knife he used.
Xia Ming said: "I want all the information of the lost alien creatures, if you find their traces, you will send someone to tell me, and the rest, see how the higher management arranges." ”
He looked at the time and hurried out of here, today's lesson might be as usual.
He didn't notice the strange phenomenon around him, the bluegrass he threw in the trash yesterday returned to the pot and resurrected a leaf, the broken glass in the office was restored, and the iron sword, the gap, was gone......
