Ten time zones apart, China bj, warm autumn sun.
Gao Mi and Wan Boqian stood up at the same time. They looked out the window. The sound of the wind blowing ginkgo trees outside the window was as dense as the prelude to a storm, and people on the road started running.
This is Kassel's office in bj. Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, the location of the office is very remote.
Both of them are commissioners of the execution department. Wan Boqian's word spirit is [Bloodline Jieluo]. This kind of word spirit is harmless, but it is very sensitive to bloodlines and can find targets with high bloodline concentrations from a huge crowd.
The range is also quite huge, just like [Snake].
In a sense, she is a radar, specially used to detect hybrids or dragons.
It was not Angers who sent them, but the school board.
When the college fell into a "stagnant" state due to the investigation team, the school board of directors used its influence to intervene and the executive department sent people around the world to search for traces of the Dragon King.
"This is the third time this month. Although this city is in an earthquake zone, small-scale earthquakes have become a bit more frequent recently."
Gao Mi frowned and said, he always had some bad premonitions.
"Okay, okay, it's just a small earthquake. What's the big deal? If you don't worry, just write this in the mission report."
Wan Boqian sat back down, holding the tea cup, and said casually,
"Speaking of which, how long are we going to investigate? Patrolling along the subway line day after day is really boring."
"It's okay. I'm taking a walk for exercise. At least the salary is quite high." Gao Mi also sat back, opened his notebook, and really started to write a task report, "By the way, have you heard of BJ's subway legend?"
"Metro Legend?" The girl suddenly became interested.
"If you look carefully, you will find that on the old subway map, there is a number sign next to each station. The westernmost Pingguoyuan Station on Line 1 has an offset number of 103, and then 104, 105, 106... But
There is no 101 and 102, these two stations should be to the west of the apple orchard, but they are not shown on the map."
Gao Mi lowered his head and said, "Because there is a hidden subway there. Line 1 is the earliest subway in bj. It was opened to traffic on October 1, 1969, but it is no longer accessible when you reach Apple Orchard. Line 102 is Fushouling Station.
101 is Taojing Station, and when you reach the end, it is said to be the source of all subways, with spider web-like tracks."
"Wow, you are really addicted to studying the subway. I'm convinced, let's go." The girl stood up. Although it was autumn, she was still wearing a short skirt and stockings, showing off the best time in a girl's life.
"Where to go?" The boy looked up blankly. His mission report had just begun.
"Sightseeing!" the girl said confidently, "We haven't gone to the tourist attractions since we came to bj, right? Don't you want to take me for a walk?"
"Um, why don't you wait for me..." Gao Mi stopped speaking in time, and Wan Boqian narrowed her eyes. This was a dangerous signal.
He closed the notebook and said helplessly: "Let's go, I'll go shopping with you today."
Wan Boqian smiled and walked out the door holding his arm.
"By the way, do you remember that woman from a few days ago?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Actually... I had a telepathic connection with my speech spirit that day, but it wasn't very obvious. The other person must also be a mixed-blood species."
"Why didn't you say anything that day?"
"Hmph, that woman's legs are very long, right? I think your soul was about to be seduced by that woman!"
"How can it be……"
"So when exactly are you going to propose to me?"
"ah?!"
"Ah, you big-headed ghost! Gao Mi, don't you want to marry me?" The girl narrowed her eyes again.
"No! Absolutely not! I...I..." The boy was a little incoherent.
The girl sighed. This idiot is really hopeless. How could she fall in love with such an idiot?
She was kicking the stones on the roadside with her hands behind her back, feeling a little distracted.
Autumn is indeed the best season for bj, the sky looks high and clear, and the streets quickly returned to calm after the small earthquake.
There was something she kept deep in her heart but didn't tell Gao Mi.
A few days ago, that strange woman whispered something in her ear, and then disappeared, as if she appeared in front of her specifically just for these words.
It was precisely because of these words that Wan Boqian finally made up his mind to have a "showdown" with the boy around him.
That saying is - if you like someone, go find him, don't wait around.
Wan Boqian raised her head, and the bird with spread wings flew low through the trees and disappeared into the park next to it.
For some reason, she always felt that this sentence was very familiar, as if it came from her own mouth and she had said it somewhere before...
She turned around, her cheeks flushed and said, "You, marry me this year."
Gao Mi was stunned for a moment, swallowed hard, and nodded vigorously.
…
…
Rome, Italy.
Frost threw the finished report on the table and sighed: "I didn't expect to be able to dismiss Angers as principal at once, but if we can find problems in Chu Zihang, Angers can still be shaken to some extent.
The rule of the Beowulf family. But why did the Beowulf family choose to support Chu Zihang? Could it be that Angers guy asked Beowulf to come forward? It doesn’t make sense.”
"It was my mistake." Patsy stood in front of the table respectfully.
"It has nothing to do with you. You have tried your best and done a good job." Frost encouraged gently, "Have you figured out the identity of the person in the ice cellar that night?"
"No, we can't find any useful clues."
"Well. Take a look at this document first."
Frost groaned and handed Patsy a document.
Patsy opened the document bag, and inside was a map, a map of China. The entire map was covered with dense markings.
"This is..." he hesitated.
"China's seismic data map. Since the tenured professors deduced that the one who awakened this time was the 'King of the Earth and Mountains', we began to collect seismic data around the world. The awakening of the four monarchs is easier than the awakening of ordinary dragons.
It has been observed that because their power is too strong, they will bring disaster-like events."
"In ancient books, the awakening of the 'King of Earth and Mountains' is often accompanied by earth changes!"
"The ground is shaking all the time, and small earthquakes occur every day. But if the frequency and intensity in a certain area suddenly increase, then something special must be happening in the earth's crust, such as the awakening of a certain monarch!"
Frost paused, "What you have in your hand is China's recent earthquake data map."
"Do you suspect that the 'King of the Earth and Mountains' is in China?"
"It's not that I doubt it, but there are countless evidences pointing to China. Do you know the reason why the college promotes Chinese education?"
"You know a little bit, do you believe this?"
"This policy was promoted by the Night Watchman, who rarely interfered with matters. This was one of the few times in his career as vice-chancellor that he directly intervened in college affairs. The last time was traced back to when his son Manstein just joined the job. At that time, he
I sent an email to the school board of directors, saying that the young teacher Manstein is really outstanding. Why should we refuse such an outstanding young man to become an associate professor?"
"...It does look like that person's style."
"Haha, Angers' biggest supporter in the academy is not Lisa, but this old guy."
Frost shook his head and said, "I don't like that old guy, but I know that as the secret party's mentor, he will not do unnecessary things. If he said that the Dragon King will awaken in China, then there is a high probability that it is true.
The awakening of the Lord of Bronze and Fire has confirmed this."
"These markers in your hands are all seismic records. After a lot of calculations, we finally focused on this city."
Frost clicked on the red five star in the center of the map.
"Bj, that is the place where the Chinese people call it 'Dragon Spirit'. The last dynasty of China inherited the capital from the enemy after entering the customs. Because it is located next to Yanshan Mountain, which is considered to be an ancient dragon.
The remains extended eastward out of Shanhaiguan, beyond which was the hometown of the Manchus. The Manchus followed the dragon into the pass, and finally saw the dense 'dragon energy' on the top of the city."
"Of course, these claims are considered absurd 'Kanyu' doctrines, but history always evolves into legends."
Patsy hesitated: "Didn't you suspect that the Dragon King might be in the hometown of Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei?"
Frost said solemnly: "Remember Norton and Constantine? There is more than one Dragon King on the throne. We suspect that the experience of the King of Earth and Mountain is similar to that of Bronze and Fire, as if one is wandering in the world, and the other is still alive.
Not fully awake yet!”
"Have we started the operation in BJ?" Patsy asked.
"No, not yet. I'm not sure yet. Besides, I need to make a call." Frost rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly, "I hope you can pay more attention to the Hunter website recently. Norton used to be a member of this website.
As a member, I always feel that this website will continue to cause trouble."
"As commanded."
"Go down."
After Patsy left the room, Frost pressed the red button on the landline. After the automatic dial tone, a happy male voice came from the phone.
"Hi, brother! What happened? I haven't heard your voice for a long time."
What followed was a woman's coquettish laughter and deafening music, which sounded like a happy dance in a bar.
"No, we talked on the phone yesterday. At that time, you were taking a bubble bath with a popular supermodel this season. After talking for two minutes, you hung up." Frost showed no expression.
"Huh? It's not strange that I take a bubble bath with a supermodel. What's strange is that brother, you are so old-fashioned and you can actually know which women are popular! Brother, you seem to have enlightened yourself!"
Frost could completely imagine the beaming and cheerful face of Brother Lingdan on the other side of the phone.
He said expressionlessly: "Okay, shut your mouth and listen to me next."
"Yeah!" Pompeii, the current patriarch of the Gattuso family, responded obediently.
"There are a total of 48 things you must listen to from yesterday to today..."
"Wait a minute! Brother, please summarize the key points. I'm at a cocktail party at a pole dancing club, and it's too noisy here!" the man said loudly.
Frost took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress his temper, and warned himself not to fight with idiots. The result of fighting with idiots is that you can't hurt him at all, and in the end, only you will be hurt.
He said solemnly: "Two things. First, someone invaded the "Ice Cellar". The college has not reported it to the school board so far. I asked Patsy to investigate this matter, but there is no valuable information yet.
The only good thing is that Constantine's keel was not lost."
"Holy crap! Who's ahead of us? Isn't it your brother who wants to invade the ice cellar the most?" The man was shocked on the spot.
Frost said angrily: "Don't make me sound like a thief! I did arrange for Patsy to go to the ice cellar for inspection, but it was just an inspection, I didn't let him do other unnecessary things!"
"Okay, okay. Angers hasn't given you an answer yet?"
"Yes, two weeks have passed, and that idiot has not given the school board a reasonable answer. The only explanation is that the keel is still there."
"Oh, the keel is still there anyway, no matter who it is... Waiter, I'd like a martini with ice, thank you!"
Frost suddenly sighed. The reason why he was competing with this idiot was because he was assimilated by him, right?
"Listen, the second thing is that we suspect that one of the 'Kings of Earth and Mountains' has awakened in BJ! We need to send the most elite personnel to BJ. We cannot let Henkel and the others get there first. The keel must fall into our hands.
Here! I suggest that the school director..."
"Uh, wait a minute..."
Frost frowned and said, "Don't keep interrupting me. What's the matter? Your supermodel is having a bad temper?"
"No..." The man on the other end of the phone looked a little weird and whispered, "Brother, you just said you suspected that the 'King of the Earth and Mountains' was having sex in China?"
"Yes, what's wrong? This is the conclusion we drew from a large amount of data. We are definitely ahead..." Frost raised his eyebrows.
But before he finished speaking, his dear brother interrupted him again.
"Don't get ahead of me. I personally suggest you visit the hunter website first." Pompeii said tactfully.
Frost was stunned, hunter website?
As if he realized something, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly opened the browser and logged into the hunter website...
The door suddenly opened.
Patsy, who always knocked on the door politely in the past, broke into the house directly and said with a solemn expression: "Sir, I have some bad news to inform you."
Frost's eyes were fixed on the computer screen, the depths of his pupils were burning golden, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"No...no need to notify me...I've already seen it!"
"It's not bj... no... it should be said that it's not just bj! There is indeed a problem in Chu Zihang's hometown!"
…
…
Kassel College, on the rooftop of the dormitory building.
"Brother, the other party finally took action." Lu Mingze said casually, sitting on the edge of the rooftop with his feet dangling in the air.
"Oh, it's finally here. Have you followed the clues to find the other party's whereabouts?" Lu Mingfei lay on the rooftop holding the back of his head, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in front of him.
"The other party is very cautious and well prepared. Our nanny team is just a step behind."
"It's a pity. But I didn't have much hope at first." Lu Mingfei said weakly, "So did you post the post I asked you to post?"
"Posted! I posted hundreds of the same posts using different accounts. The other party tried to delete the post and ban the account at first, but soon gave up because many people had already seen it." Lu Mingze hehehe
road.
He looked back at Lu Mingfei lying on the ground and said curiously:
"But are you really going to take them back to your hometown to fight monsters? What will BJ do? Will Fenrir not handle it? It would be bad if the secret party finds out. That guy is stupider than Constantine."
Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said: "It's a problem for the academy to find Fenrir. Even if it is found, Fenrir's current situation is not something the academy can deal with. It is impossible for the academy to transport large weapons in."
bj right?"
"That's true." Lu Mingze smiled and said, "BJ's supervision in this area is not comparable to other places. Speaking of brother, what are you thinking about now? I feel like you have encountered some troubles."
Lu Mingfei was silent for a while and said softly: "I'm remembering."
"Recalling what, the experience before restarting?"
"right."
"Any new discoveries?"
"I discovered that the first person who bet on me was actually not a child..."
"Ah? Is it me? It's me! I must be the first person to bet on you, brother!" Lu Mingze jumped up and put his hands on his hips.
Lu Mingfei slowly closed his eyes.
The vast and vast autumn sky disappeared from his eyes.
Instead, memories flashed by like scenes on a horse.
…
The dark red-haired girl in Tokyo dared to run away from home under his leadership just after meeting him for the second time. Not only was she betting on him to win, she even shared the only world she had with him.
When Da Yi faced Constantine, the principal handed the sniper rifle into his hands. He did not choose Chu Zihang or Caesar, but chose himself, betting that he could kill Constantine.
When performing a group dance at the high school Spring Festival party, the dance teacher invited shook his head repeatedly and said that Lu Mingfei was not the type who used his hands and feet uncoordinated, which was not his type at all. However, he did not choose to quit at that time because the president Chen Wenwen was very loyal.
his dance partner.
…
It seems there are many more.
Too many to count.
For the first time, he discovered that so many people had bet on him to win!
But……
After all, he still couldn't see Eri Yi under the crabapple tree. At the last moment, he still let the crosshair deviate from Constantine's fatal point, and also stepped on Chen Wenwen's countless feet during the group dance...
Many people had expectations for him, and they smiled and extended their hands to him, but he failed to seize these opportunities, and only disappointed everyone and himself again and again.
Is this what Lu Mingze said, that the so-called world does not dare to make him despair, but always gives him some trivial hope bit by bit?
No……
It doesn't count.
Of course it doesn't count.
Because everyone is not giving him alms.
Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the rooftop. The wind blowing in front of him blew his messy hair away.
The world came into his eyes.
He opened his hand, slowly clenched it, and seemed to hold the world in his hands.
This time.
He bets on them to win.
