Chapter 517 You are here (please vote for the super large chapter)
"At about 7 o'clock this afternoon, a building collapse occurred on Tieke Street. A five-story building built about 20 years ago collapsed in this incident and was completely reduced to ruins."
"According to experts, this collapse may be due to the existence of a previously undiscovered underground cavity beneath the building. The collapse of this underground cavity caused a strong local earthquake, which eventually caused the building to collapse. Citizens, please do not worry."
"Currently, the gendarmerie has blocked the area and some nearby streets. In order to avoid the impact of aftershocks, citizens are asked not to go near the relevant locations unless necessary."
The neatly dressed host on the TV was reading the script in a steady tone.
The screen behind her showed a panoramic view of the ruins captured by a drone, with chaotic cement and floors filling the entire screen.
He Ao glanced at the aerial shots of the ruined buildings on TV and touched the Miracle Wand on his waist.
The progress bar of landslide and tsunami is: 6/5.
This means he can use Landslide Tsunami again.
Kill the puppeteer, destroy the contaminated building, and gain three points.
The progress bar of the landslide and tsunami directly changed from 3/5 to 6/5. It seems that the Miracle Wand gained a lot of energy from the puppeteer.
Then He Ao turned his head and looked at the two skinny men who were still unconscious on the stools in front of him.
He used his clone to drive the Verora to rescue these two people at the last moment, preventing them from dying in the building due to the force of the landslide and tsunami.
And as the old building collapsed, the ritual circle and twisted monsters inside were destroyed by the B-class miraculous landslide and tsunami, and the shadow power shrouding the deserted street quickly faded away.
This 'disappeared street' was also exposed to ordinary people. The first people to arrive were naturally not the gendarmerie and the media, but ordinary people who were shopping nearby and were attracted by the sound.
However, these ordinary people were quickly kicked out by the military police on duty nearby, and He Ao left the place before he was discovered.
At the moment, he is standing in a small clinic decorated in a Chinese-earth style. One side of the clinic is a rolling door, and there are glass cabinets for medicines in front of the other three walls. There is a space for one person between the glass cabinet and the wall.
aisle.
There are medicine cabinets placed close to the wall. Of course, there are not only medicine cabinets, but also some other things. For example, there is a small LCD TV hanging on the wall directly opposite the door.
It was on this TV that the news about the collapse of the building was broadcast. As the news broadcast ended, the door curtain of the back room was opened, and a middle-earth man in his thirties with round glasses came out.
Walked out of the back room.
He raised his head and saw He Ao standing at the door, and asked in Chinese dialect,
"Hello, are you here to buy medicine?"
"Is this Dr. Lei Cheng?" He Ao looked at the man and said slowly, "I am Mr. Li's friend."
The owner of this clinic is also a member of the institute's organization in Ruodan, and is also one of the best private doctors in Ellen City. He himself is an E-level transcendent.
After He Ao expressed his need for a doctor, Li Le gave him the address of the clinic.
The man looked at He Ao, reached out and pressed a button under the glass cabinet, and the electric rolling shutter door slowly closed. Then he pushed open a small door at the corner of the glass cabinet, opening a passage for He Ao, "Follow me."
He turned and walked towards the back room.
He Ao picked up the two skinny men on the ground and followed them into the back room.
The decoration of the back room of the clinic is very simple, with only three medical chairs that can be laid flat.
Under Lei Cheng's guidance, He Ao placed the two skinny men on the chairs.
······
"Your two 'friends' are depleted of energy, weak and cold, and their bodies have also suffered some kind of shock. They can only inject some glucose to keep their lives alive. It is not certain whether they can wake up."
After some inspections, Lei Cheng looked at He Ao and said softly.
"Make sure they wake up."
He Ao glanced at these two men. They were the only sane people left in that building, and they might know some information that others didn't know.
Although in theory, he seems to have taken down the headquarters of the primitive church, and even the shadow and mysterious power that shrouded the streets near the old building have dissipated.
But he still vaguely felt that there were some important clues that were not connected.
"I'll contact my friends at the hospital,"
Lei Cheng glanced at He Ao and realized that these two people might be more important. He said softly, "But I can only say that I will try my best."
"Trouble."
He Ao's eyes returned to the two skinny men again. The two men did not rule out the possibility of being affected by the mysterious shadow. "These two men may have unstable mental states and need to be controlled."
"OK."
Lei Cheng nodded. He was a staff member of the institute, so he naturally knew some extraordinary information and also knew what He Ao meant.
He also has relatively rich experience in extraordinary protection.
He Ao left his contact information and asked Lei Cheng to contact him if he had any questions, then said goodbye to Lei Cheng and left the clinic.
At this moment, the moon is already above the eaves, and the dim starlight is spreading on the street.
He Ao took out his mobile phone. There was a message sent to him by the gendarmerie captain on it. It was a reply to the photo of the man he killed in the alley of Tieke Street in the afternoon.
[Where did you find this person?]
[This crown emblem is the emblem of the "Restorement Organization" of the Kingdom of Rodan. Judging from the sophistication of this person's emblem, his status in the Restoration Organization is not low.]
He Ao edited a message and replied, [National Restoration Organization?]
The gendarmerie captain quickly replied,
[A group of people who miss the old kingdom era. They have relatively strong forces in the country and are committed to promoting the restoration of the kingdom. It is said that their leader is called Duke Ellen, which is the title of Crown Prince Jordan during the kingdom era.]
[We still don’t know who this Duke of Ellen is. Theoretically, the person with this title should be the king’s immediate family member, but all the king’s sons were killed in the turmoil five years ago. Of course, it is not
Rule out the possibility of the king having an illegitimate child.]
Immediately afterwards, the gendarmerie captain sent another message.
[The building collapse incident had a huge impact. Now the authorities have put that area under control. You should be careful when you go there.]
This is to remind He Ao to pay attention to protecting himself.
[Thanks]
He Ao replied, and then took out the newly purchased mobile phone.
He inserted the phone card he took out from the cell phone of the member of the National Restoration Organization into his mobile phone, and then dialed the number of the "blood master" that the member of the National Restoration Organization wanted to call before he died.
Judging from the behavior of the member of the restoration organization, he should be aware of the existence of hidden streets.
He was sitting there, probably on some sort of mission, to monitor people entering that street.
And the 'blood master' he wants to contact is most likely the person who assigned him this task, and is his 'superior'.
beep--
A crisp sound came from the phone.
At the same time, He Ao activated super memory.
A slightly doubtful thought came to his mind, as if he was wondering who would call him at this time.
This thought comes from the C-level of Dawn that he marked.
At this moment, a realization occurred in his mind, and he had obtained the information he wanted.
He hung up the phone decisively and took out the phone card.
This C-level member of Dawn is obviously also a high-ranking member of the Ruodan Kingdom Restoration Organization.
Jin Ya, the subjugated princess of the Ruo Dan Kingdom, is a senior member of Liming.
A C-level is related to the Ruodan Kingdom, and it can be said that this C-level has another side job, but what about two C-levels?
There are not many C-levels in this world.
Thoughts flashed through He Ao's mind.
Duke Ellen of the Ruodan Kingdom Restoration Organization should theoretically be a direct relative of the king, but according to Western customs, direct relatives who can inherit the throne include not only sons, but also brothers.
A certain curtain that has been covering up something seems to be slowly being opened at this moment, revealing the true appearance inside.
He Ao edited a message and sent it to the gendarmerie captain, asking the gendarmerie captain about the reports of several core members of the opposition who overthrew the kingdom in recent years.
The captain of the military police said that this information was a bit difficult, but he could think of a way.
He Ao turned off his cell phone and took a taxi back to the martial arts gym.
——
By the time He Ao returned to the martial arts gym, it was already close to twelve o'clock in the evening.
The door of the martial arts hall was ajar, and He Ao quietly opened the door and walked in.
The martial arts hall that was originally bustling with people during the day was now filled with only silence and dim lights.
The girl wearing a simple training uniform was still standing in the corner of the yard, practicing boxing over and over again.
The aura on her body has become more and more plain and natural, and she seems to have returned to her original nature even more than in the morning, and her compatibility with nature has been further improved.
He Ao stood at the door and watched her movements quietly.
Many details in Alifia's boxing technique are more perfect than in the morning.
After being awakened by He Ao, she began to consider the overall impact on the body when practicing boxing, and adjusted many movements to perfect them step by step.
However, there are still some misunderstandings in her thinking.
After a set of punches was finished, Elifia found He Ao standing at the door. She looked at He Ao with some surprise, "Master He Ao, are you back?"
She wanted to show off her achievements today, but suddenly realized that He Ao had not accepted her as his disciple. She seemed to be easily annoying by showing such a close attitude rashly.
So her originally joyful expression froze in half again, and she was in a dilemma for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Good fight,"
He Ao noticed her embarrassment and praised her with a smile, "Keep it up."
Alifia was overjoyed.
Immediately afterwards, she saw He Ao lower his body and demonstrate several of the boxing moves she had just performed in front of her.
These moves seem to be the same as hers, but there seem to be slight differences.
Alifia looked at He Ao's movements and was stunned for a moment. Then she suddenly realized something. She took a stance and began to imitate He Ao's movements.
Her memory is very good. Although He Ao only played one move, she had already memorized it and started to imitate each move.
After just a few moves, she was suddenly stunned, then became excited as if she had discovered a rare treasure, and kept repeating these moves.
After beating him a few more times and getting used to it, she did not forget to turn around and look at He Ao, bowing deeply and saying, "Thank you, Master He Ao."
This time He Ao didn't get out of the way, because he did teach Elifia something.
Alifia is improving her original technique, but she does not have spiritual consciousness and cannot verify whether the improved energy flow is correct. She can only explore by feeling, so when she is thinking, she will inevitably fall into some misunderstandings.
.
The moves that He Ao just played were all moves that caused Alifia's thinking to go astray.
Elifia thought that this kind of energy operation was okay, but in fact it was completely different. There was no problem at first, but later on it became more harmful to the body and restricted the use of her own strength.
He Ao's modification corrected these misunderstandings. This was not a correction of moves, but also a correction of thinking.
For example, Elifia has a move where she pierces forward with her palm.
Originally, Elifia's modification direction was to exert force on the wrist, and the energy in the body passes through the inner forearm muscles to the wrist and then to the fingertips.
This method can also mobilize the energy in the body to concentrate on the fingertips, but over time it will cause damage to the forearm and wrist, and the energy flow efficiency of this route is not high.
The direction of He Ao's modification is to mobilize the muscles on the outside of the upper arm and drive the forearm with the elbow. The energy passes through the muscles on the outside of the upper arm and then is transmitted to the fingertips.
This reduces the damage to the forearm and wrist, and greatly increases the efficiency of energy flow.
However, he did not say this explicitly, but showed it through demonstration actions.
But Elifia keenly grasped the essence of these movements and the differences between them and her, and quickly understood her misunderstanding.
Elifia is very perceptive, so He Ao is not going to tell the girl the perfect form of all Elifia's movements, but just corrects some misunderstandings that lead her to a dead end, and relies on her for the rest of the moves.
Think and improve yourself.
This process of contemplation and perfection is the process of becoming familiar with her body structure and energy flow.
And this is actually laying the foundation.
Once she is familiar enough with her own body, when she learns more advanced martial arts knowledge in the future, she will be able to more easily understand the principles and get twice the result with half the effort.
It's like doing math problems. After you understand the most basic formulas and examples, when you encounter more difficult problems, you can quickly break them down into simple ones and complete them quickly.
After receiving advice from He Ao, Alifia once again immersed herself in practicing the moves. She seemed tireless, like a child who discovered a new toy, practicing the new moves over and over again and integrating them into her original routine.
During the exercise.
He Ao was watching her quietly from the side.
In fact, teaching Alifia made him have a deeper understanding of martial arts. Many things that were not clear to him before were mastered by him because he had to think carefully about the problems and core when teaching others.
Go deeper.
It wasn't until the moon set in the west and the night was deep that Alifia recovered from the excitement. She raised her head and saw He Ao standing next to her, her face turned red.
"Master He Ao, you don't have to wait for me..."
He Ao watched her recover, smiled, and said softly, "It's okay, I just want to ask you to help me with something."
Alifia glanced at He Ao blankly, "Huh?"
He Ao looked at her, "Do you have a photo of your father? Can you show it to me?"
Alifia was stunned and shook her head, "My father rarely takes pictures. After my father disappeared, my grandfather hid all the photos related to my father. I only kept one, but I lost it on the way here.
There are no photos of my father on the phone."
Prince Ronny also didn't like taking pictures and left almost no photos. Only some simple newsletters included photos of him as a child and teenager.
Moreover, Prince Ronnie disappeared when he was very young. So much time has passed, and his appearance may have changed due to the influence of his living environment.
He Ao thought for a moment, then walked into the back room and came out with a pen and a notebook. He looked at Alifia and said, "Can you describe to me what your father looks like?"
Alifia looked at the notebook in He Ao's hand and nodded, "Okay!"
In this way, the two of them described and described each other, and time passed minute by second.
Although He Ao inherited Wei An's painting memory and was able to restore Wei An's painting skills through detailed muscle control, Wei An did not have the skill to restore portraits through 'description'.
However, one method worked for all, and through constant drawing and correction, He Ao was able to roughly draw the appearance of Alifia's father.
Alifia looked at He Ao's last portrait, her eyes fluctuated a little, and finally raised her head and looked at He Ao, "Master He Ao, you are so amazing."
"This is for you."
He Ao pulled off the portrait and handed it to Alifia.
"Hey," Alifia was stunned, "Don't you want it?"
"I don't have to."
He Ao shook his head. He had already memorized it. After he finished painting this portrait, he probably wouldn't open it again.
Elifia hesitated for a moment, then slowly took the portrait, her eyes sparkling a little.
Her tone paused,
"thank you."
"You also spent so long with me."
He Ao yawned, put away his notebook, turned and walked to the back room, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
Alifia glanced at He Ao, then at the drawing paper in her arms, and carefully put the drawing paper away.
······
Alifia is very talented and has good quality.
People who value emotions tend not to do things that would deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors.
He Ao closed the door of the back room and sat on the bed.
Next, he wanted to verify a conjecture.
He slowly closed his eyes.
——
A silence like death awakens those who are sleeping.
He Ao opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He glanced at the gray sky outside the window and the city in deathly silence.
He straightened his clothes, straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, and calmly opened the door.
A dark shadow appeared in his field of vision.
The shadow was standing in front of the door at the moment, reaching out his hand as if to push open the door to the back room.
It remained motionless, looking forward, as if staring at He Ao who was standing in front of it.
In one day, from the courtyard gate to the back room.
Maybe when He Ao wakes up next time, this shadow will appear next to He Ao.
If there is a next time.
The moment he saw this shadow, some of He Ao's thoughts were confirmed. He stared at this scary-looking shadow and smiled.
"You came."
It's a bit stuck, a little late.
