Chapter 500 Its coming (please vote for the big chapter)
"What do you mean pretty?"
He Ao glanced at this disciple in confusion, and then walked out of the back room.
The yard where the martial arts gym is located is not big. Almost the moment he stepped out of the door, He Ao saw the person standing at the door.
It was a girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face and a high ponytail.
She has a tall and tall figure, a pair of wide-leg trousers, a pair of slender thighs covered by loose trousers, and a pure white long-sleeved upper body with a cartoon logo printed on the front.
She watched He Ao come out, greeted him, and said in Chinese, "Hello."
He Ao walked up to her in three steps and took a careful look at her face.
This girl does not have a standard Western appearance, but she is also obviously not a pure Chinese. She has a pair of beautiful and rare brown-red eyes, and her hair is dark brown.
Looks like a mix of Middle Earth and Western Earth.
"Are you Mr. Hong Long?"
The girl looked at He Ao strangely, "You are younger than I thought."
"Are you here to play in the gym?"
He Ao also looked at her with some doubts.
This girl's skin is not delicate, with the tightness of muscles tightened after training, and her skin color tends to be a wheat color that has been exposed to the sun and rain, but it is not that deep and does not appear dark.
It looks like it has been practiced.
He Ao felt a vigorous energy in her body, rushing towards his face like a burning flame.
"I'm not."
The girl shook her head and said emphatically, "I'm just here to 'discuss'. I heard that Mr. Hong Long has great attainments in martial arts and came here specifically to compete. I'm not here to challenge you."
Having said this, she hesitated for a moment and said softly, "But if I win the 'sparring', I hope you can control me..."
She paused, looked at He Ao, and said carefully, "A meal."
?
The girl's request made He Ao feel like she had no money to eat.
He Ao mobilized his consciousness to glance at the girl. At the same time, he explained slowly, "My name is He Ao. I was entrusted by Mr. Hong Long to take care of this martial arts gym temporarily. Mr. Hong Long was injured and is now in
I am recuperating in the hospital, so I shouldn’t be able to compete with you now,”
Having said this, he pointed to the door and said, "If you are hungry, I can buy you a meal."
Under the vision of spiritual consciousness, although this girl does not have the obvious flow of energy like an extraordinary person, there is already a faint hazy 'energy mist' between her limbs.
This proves that she achieved the effect of 'body exercise' through some method and integrated energy into her body.
The main world also has energy that escapes, but it only exists at dawn.
But if you have not been exposed to extraordinary power, it will be difficult to achieve this effect by simply absorbing the energy at dawn.
This will probably require more than ten years of hard work and hard work, one's own talent must be strong enough, and one must have relatively suitable training techniques.
Information from the institute shows that martial arts training in the main world can also absorb some energy into the body, but most of the absorption efficiency is extremely poor and has basically no effect.
Judging from the effects of the girl's practice, the girl's practice method already has some shadows of martial arts, and is somewhat close to the body-building technique practiced by Mr. Reggit back then. However, the effects of the girl's practice are not as uniform and powerful as those obtained from the body-building technique.
, which is equivalent to an incomplete body-building technique.
This is the first time that He Ao has seen a method close to martial arts practice in the main world.
"No."
The girl waved her hand, "Since Mr. Hong Long is not here, I will come back another day."
She made a Zhongtu farewell gesture to He Ao, turned around and walked out.
The last time He Ao saw this gesture was in a costume TV series, but this kind of etiquette is said to be very popular in some more traditional martial arts schools.
Seeing that she insisted on leaving, He Ao did not force her to stay, but asked her name.
"My name is Alifia," the girl said to He Ao, "You can also call me by my Middle-earth name. My father gave it to me."
She paused for a moment and then said, "Li Dali."
He Ao looked at Alifia's cute face and chuckled, "When your father gave you this name, he probably didn't understand the Chinese dialect very well."
"Indeed," Alifia's face turned red, "at that time, my father had just married my mother, and he just wanted me to be strong so that I could make a living in the future."
Then she raised her hands to He Aogong and said, "Then please tell Mr. Hong Long about my arrival. I'll come to visit you in a few days. It's not early now, so I have to go to the next martial arts gym first."
"You don't have to ask Mr. Hong Long to discuss with you," He Ao pointed to the disciples behind him, "These are Mr. Hong Long's disciples, so we can also discuss with each other."
Hearing He Ao's words, Elifia raised her head and glanced at the disciples around her, then shook her head seriously, "They are too weak."
It's a good thing that the people around me don't understand Chinese dialect, otherwise this girl's words would probably make her full of hatred.
So the competition is not just for eating?
He Ao asked curiously, "So what is the purpose of your competition?"
Alifia's face was serious, she looked at He Ao solemnly,
"To break through the limits of human beings."
The sun shines on her face, making her look solemn and persistent.
Then she smiled and continued, "You may not believe it, but my martial arts cultivation has not grown for a long time.
"According to my father, I may have reached the limit of what a mortal can achieve, so I looked around for powerful warriors to challenge me, hoping to break through this limit in battle."
As she said this, she shook her head and smiled, as if she had been questioned many times and regretted why she said this here.
At this time, she heard He Ao's calm voice, "I can understand this feeling."
She raised her head and stared at the young man in front of her who looked about the same age as her.
Due to racial differences, people from China will look younger when they go to the West. However, He Ao has better skin. From the perspective of the West, he looks like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.
And Elifia has lived in Middle-earth for a long time, and she can clearly feel that the young man in front of her should be about the same age as herself.
But in this young man, she didn't feel the aura that someone who practiced martial arts all year round should have.
In fact, He Ao looks like an ordinary person.
But the tone in which He Ao said this, and the sense of vicissitudes that could not be overcome after years of experience, even resonated with Alifia.
So she couldn't tell for a moment whether He Ao was comforting her or whether he had actually had a similar experience.
"Thank you." In the end, she felt that He Ao might be comforting her. She bowed her hands to He Ao to express her gratitude, and then said softly, "Brother, it's getting late. I'll come back another day."
He Ao didn't stop her, he just watched her go away.
Although he was a little curious about Elifia's martial arts training methods, he was just curious and didn't want to find out. Moreover, approaching forcibly would only arouse people's vigilance.
We will meet again if we are destined.
However, the appearance of this girl made He Ao realize one thing. The martial arts practice in the main world is not completely blank. In an era when extraordinary energy is scarce, there are still people who have touched the threshold of martial arts.
Perhaps some relevant information should be collected through the research institute.
However, after the human limit that Elifia pursues, the extraordinary world is not so beautiful.
After Alifia left, He Ao returned to the back room and took a look at the room Hong Long had arranged for him. He charged his cell phone for a while, then said goodbye to the disciples in the yard and left the martial arts hall.
These remaining disciples will stay in the martial arts hall until ten o'clock, and then go home together. He Ao only needs to come back before ten o'clock in the evening.
It's almost noon now, and there are scattered people walking on the streets.
The surrounding small restaurants were full of people.
Although Ellen is the capital of the Rhodan Republic, the city's style gives Heao the feeling that it is similar to that of a small urban area in Middle-earth.
Moreover, the streets are a bit dilapidated due to their disrepair, and only the city center is more prosperous.
The slow old bus and tram passed by He Ao.
On the street ahead, the rich fragrance drifted into He Ao's nose.
That's the smell of grilled steak.
Grilled steak is a local specialty in Jordan. A large piece of marinated steak is pierced with an iron rod and grilled in a charcoal oven. During the process, various spices are constantly sprinkled on it.
When it's done, take it out of the oven, slice it with a special wide knife, catch it on a plate, and sell it now.
When the whole steak is just taken out of the oven, it is dark and does not look good. But when you cut it open, the edges of the steak are often charred and the inside is tender pink. The heat is rising and the juice is overflowing. It looks delicious.
It makes people excited.
The cut steak slices will not be given directly to the customer. They will be sprinkled with black pepper, crushed peanuts, or other ingredients according to the customer's needs, and then handed to the customer.
The taste was so fragrant that He Ao found a restaurant with a lot of family members, ordered a steak, paid with his card, then sat at the old table at the door, watched the people passing by, and finished the steak slowly.
Generally speaking, where the ruins passage is opened, the surrounding extraordinary energy concentration will increase, and strange events will occur more frequently.
And He Ao's main mission this time is to find something similar to a 'space-time anchor'.
Judging from the research results of the institute, this kind of space-time anchor seems to be the coordinates for the ruins to locate the main world. The ruins first project the space-time anchor point, and then use this space-time anchor point for precise positioning.
According to the agreement signed by major extraordinary organizations, in public border areas like the Ruodan Republic, whoever obtains the time and space anchor can obtain most of the entry quotas.
Generally speaking, all major organizations abide by this agreement. The reason for complying with the regulations is not that everyone has become civilized at this time, but because only when this time and space anchor point is within the range of the channel opening, the channel can be successfully opened.
So this thing is equivalent to the 'key' to the ruins passage in a sense.
Although the person who obtains the time and space anchor cannot forcibly allocate quotas, he can prevent the passage from opening and preventing anyone from entering the ruins.
Relying on this balance of terror, the agreements made by major organizations have actual effectiveness.
Of course, it is not easy to find this space-time anchor. In fact, this space-time anchor is just a virtual concept. It may appear in various forms and be attached to different items.
For example, the last time the ruins were opened, the large flat plate that He Ao and the others were standing on was actually the anchor point of time and space.
Most of the time, the space-time anchor point will be attached to some weird items, sometimes even an entire building.
Under these circumstances, the difficulty of seizing the space-time anchor will increase.
Therefore, Yang De's goal for He Ao is to try his best and give up decisively if he cannot achieve it.
Of course, He Ao also has some other arrangements, but no matter what arrangement, a suitable introduction point is needed.
The space-time anchor point is one of the most suitable introduction points.
According to the information Yang De gave him, the space-time anchor point is very special. As long as you are around this anchor point or touch this anchor point, you can clearly feel the existence of the ruins.
After eating and drinking, He Ao bought a bottle of Coke and started walking on the street.
The problem now is how to find the space-time anchor point.
Yang De gave the possible range of the passage determined by the institute, which is probably within the generation of Nancheng in Ellen City.
According to past experience, the space-time anchor point will appear in this range, and the time of appearance will be approximately these two days.
He Ao actually came a little late. Moonlight is very powerful here and should have been looking for a time and space anchor everywhere.
This kind of thing depends on luck.
However, from the current point of view, Moonlight should not have obtained a space-time anchor yet.
Although the Ruodan Republic is an extended sphere of influence of the Theia Empire, it is in the west after all, far away from the mainland of the Theia Empire.
If Moonlight obtains the time and space anchor point, her first reaction must be to find a way to transport it back to the Tia Empire, and first make sure that the time and space anchor point is safe and will not be snatched away.
And this will definitely alarm the institute's intelligence system in the Theia Empire.
Moreover, some of Moonlight's manpower includes two C-level people who seem to be in charge. They were cleared out by He Ao last night. There may not be enough manpower to find the time and space anchor now.
To sum up, He Ao speculates that there is a high probability that the space-time anchor has not been discovered yet.
However, the Ruodan Republic not only has people from Moonlight, but also people from World Tree and Dawn.
There may even be other small paranormal organizations that have heard about it.
They may not have news about the time and space anchor.
The current situation is basically a pool of muddy water.
He Ao took a sip of Coke.
If the location of the space-time anchor this time is very simple, somewhere, and easily discovered, then the only thing left to do is pure luck.
From a probability perspective, in this case, the more manpower there is, the more places they can search at the same time, and the greater the probability of finding it. Research institutes with fewer manpower and weak power will suffer.
It's not like he's completely at a disadvantage. He Ao can also keep an eye on those organizations and see if he can pick them up as an oriole.
The more power there is, the muddier the water is, and the greater the possibility of fishing in troubled waters.
Of course, it would be even more interesting if the time-space anchor this time was hidden in a particularly hard-to-find place.
He Ao didn't take a few steps when he saw a cordon not far ahead, which seemed to be a deep alley.
Even from such a distance, He Ao could still smell a faint smell of blood.
On the outside of the cordon, stood an "acquaintance" of He Ao, the military police captain who had just been to the martial arts gym.
He Ao walked into the canteen nearby, exchanged his credit card for some cash, bought two packs of the most expensive cigarettes, and then walked towards the gendarmerie captain.
"Brother, what happened?"
He Ao handed over the cigarette.
The gendarmerie captain turned his head and glanced at He Ao.
He was deeply impressed by this young Chinese man who could 'shoot in self-defense and fight back' at such a young age, and who also spoke fluent Tia Empire language. He took the cigarette from He Ao's hand, opened it, lit one and held it in his mouth.
on the mouth,
"There's nothing interesting to see in the murder case. Let's go quickly and don't hang around here."
"OK."
He Ao smiled and nodded, taking the opportunity to glance at the alley behind the gendarmerie captain.
At this moment, there are several military policemen in the alley collecting evidence and investigating.
A blurry humanoid corpse fell to the ground, and blood covered the ground.
It was very dark in the alley, even at noon there was no light.
Judging from the deceased's fallen posture, it seemed that he fell while running. Then he never got up again.
He Ao briefly activated his super memory and glanced at the details in the alley.
The soul of the deceased has completely dissipated, which is not in line with the normal dissipation speed of the soul of death. In the dried blood on the ground, there are traces in a small area that are different from other places.
He Ao combined these different traces in his mind. It looked like some kind of writing, some kind of writing left by the dead.
He turned sideways and said goodbye to the gendarmerie captain, and continued walking forward. At the same time, he turned on his phone, clicked on the translator, and entered the words in handwriting.
This is the local language of Rodan.
The translator quickly translated these words into Chinese.
