After surviving the most uncomfortable period, Lin Nian left the tent area of Hall of Valor Square and took a small path to avoid the crowds and returned to Norton Hall.
Although after the strong earthquake, the dean recommended that students camp out for a period of time due to concerns about aftershocks, there are always people who feel that the quality of life is greater than the safety of life, so there are not a few people who stay in dormitories and halls.
Things like earthquakes are fatal to ordinary people, and they are also fatal to hybrids.
After all, not everyone's spirit is a dust-free place, and not everyone can jump directly from the fourth floor and land, then roll over and pat their butt and back like a normal person. Even in dormitories and
In the guild hall, the dean also made it clear that you can live there, but you can only live below the third floor to avoid another accident in the near future.
Lin Nian walked to the garden outside the Norton Hall and saw several members of the Lionheart Club standing guard in front of the door. The Norton Hall had entered the stage of war preparation under the current special circumstances. Except for these few people on the surface, there were no other members of the Lionheart Club standing guard in front of the door.
There were also many hidden sentries in the elm forest around Norton Hall. The things taught in the field survival practical class were indeed effective. At least when they had no intention of attacking Lin Nian, Lin Nian could only guess the approximate location.
Lin Nian just walked into the stone path in the front garden, and the door of Norton Hall was pushed open from inside. What came out was Ling, the Russian girl who was in the same class as Lu Mingfei. She was wearing an autumn school uniform and also wore a Lion Heart Club.
wearing an armband, walking towards Lin Nian with steady and unslow steps.
"Senior Lin Nian." Zero walked up to Lin Nian and stood in front of him. He slightly nodded and greeted this senior who was the same age as her but had the qualifications to dominate her.
"Are you all in there?" Lin Nian nodded to her as a greeting and followed her to the Norton Hall.
Zero nodded slightly, "The president is waiting for you in the office."
After saying that, Ling became quiet. Lin Nian didn't interact with Ling many times in the Lion Heart Club, but it wasn't too few. Every time there was an internal notification, Ling came to notify him. He even had it on his phone.
There was also the other party's personal number, but apart from business matters, the two of them barely exchanged a few sentences.
"Hello, Senior Lin." The Lions Heart Association students who were passing by the gate looked a little restless when they saw Lin Nian approaching. They looked at Lin Nian's eyes with a faint light, which contained suppressed urgency and other uneasiness.
divided emotions.
Lin Nian saw their reactions in his eyes and just nodded slightly in response. He silently followed Ling into the Norton Hall. He could still feel those two eyes sticking to his back, which was a bit burning.
"Is this situation becoming common?" Lin Nian asked.
"The president has taken control."
Lin Nian stopped talking and was taken to the second floor by Ling. Before he could reach the office door, he met Su Xiaoqiang who had arrived midway.
"Lin Nian! Are you okay?" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes were full of surprise when she saw Lin Nian next to Ling, but there was also deep worry in her eyes. It was obvious that even if everyone didn't know the truth about last night's earthquake, it was almost a shock to her.
That incident has an inextricable relationship with Lin Nian.
"I'm fine, you go and rest first." Lin Nian looked at Su Xiaoqiang who was nearby and subconsciously took a half step back.
Su Xiaoqiang didn't notice this, and Lin Nian didn't notice it either. Only Ling noticed it. She glanced at Lin Nian's half step back and remained silent without saying anything.
"Are you really okay?" Su Xiaoqiang hadn't seen Lin Nian for a few days, so she couldn't help but walked up to him and wanted to do it, but she noticed a trace of uneasiness flashing across Lin Nian's face.
After noticing Lin Nian's abnormal mood, Su Xiaoqiang immediately stopped and hesitated.
Lin Nian glanced at Ling, who caught his eye and nodded gently, "I'll go to the office first to inform the president that you're here." After saying that, he turned around and left without any delay.
No wonder Ling's work style in the Lion Heart Club is always good. Many people praise this junior school girl for being good, beautiful and capable, but her only shortcoming is that she is unkind and cold, and no one is allowed to touch her -
—Oh no, Lu Mingfei can be touched. Everyone’s Lion Heart Club membership looks like a fake, but Lu Mingfei seems to be a real member.
People often see Lu Mingfei and "Queen of Vacuum" eating alone in the restaurant, "Queen of Vacuum"
"One person eats two portions of ice cream, and even offers the ice cream to others, and they still accept it. Needless to say, what does this have to do with each other? Isn't that admirable? He is indeed an "S, level. He can do something that other people can't do at all.
things.
Zero left, deliberately leaving room for the couple to talk. There were some things that she wouldn't talk nonsense about if she knew them, but it was better not to know.
"Are you really hurt?" Su Xiaoqiang noticed that something was wrong with Lin Nian now. She was a little anxious inside, but her reason told her that it was useless to be anxious, which made her feel very frustrated.
"If you can, stay away from me in the near future. It's very unsafe." Lin Nian did not deny the fact that he was injured. In this case, it was wrong to deliberately hide the true situation from the people around him. Some things are best done quickly.
Disclose information privately to prevent your teammates from making wrong judgments.
Su Xiaoqiang took a breath and knew that the matter was a bit serious, "What can I do?"
"Don't fall into the hands of the investigation team. Don't reveal any information. We will probably have a short meeting later. All those who may be asked to testify at the hearing need to be ventilated in advance." Lin Nian and Su Xiao kept talking.
A relatively safe distance. There is more than just blood flowing in his veins now. Deadpool's pus blood is not even as toxic as his current waste blood. If it is contaminated by hybrids or even ordinary people, it will kill people, and it may even cause death.
The terrible consequences of genetic contamination.
"Okay." Su Xiaoqiang nodded vigorously in Lin Nian's eyes, "You can do what you want to do with peace of mind, I won't cause any trouble."
After getting the affirmative answer, Lin Nian silently let go of the worry hidden in his eyes. He asked Su Xiaoqiang a few more questions about her physical condition. After getting the answer he wanted, he turned around and left, leaving Su Xiaoqiang standing alone.
Then I watched him disappear around the corner in the corridor.
Su Xiaoqiang stood for a long time, rubbing her right hand tightly and digging her nails into her flesh. Finally, she sighed silently, let go of the hand that left a red mark, and turned around to leave.
When she turned around, at the far corner of the corridor where Lin Nian disappeared, the golden-haired little bastard stuck out his head and stared at the girl's worried and depressed back with a strange smile.
——
Not the same time, but close.
Another place across the ocean.
The blond, who was also an asshole, but not the same person, held a travel brochure in his hand and walked slowly in the deserted old alley.
The sun pulled her shadow behind her, and on both sides of her were red walls that dated back to the times. Golden ginkgo branches peeked out from the yellow tiles and cornices. The wind blew through and the full autumn scenery fell on her.
Underfoot, golden apricots, red walls, and the clear blue sky of autumn flowing smoothly forward, the three colors complement each other, bright and public.
The clear weather always brings a good mood to people. The blond foreigner walked along the red wall with great interest, enjoying the autumn scenery that was more unique than her hometown. Her fingers gently traced the faintly peeling and discolored red on the wall.
The film was stained with a layer of rouge-like red on the fingers. Some people in old Beijing called this color "Zhucao Zhenghong", which was taken from the words "Bidanjing Zhucao, Bailin Red Goose" in "He Yueyang County Liquan Biao"
The meaning is a historical term full of traditional connotations. She feels unclear about it, but if she walks with someone again next time, she won't mind explaining this rhetoric intact. It will make her appear to be very cultured.
Of course, all this knowledge was taught to her by the old man who smoked his pipe on the stone steps in the deep alley. Otherwise, with her half-knowledge of Chinese culture, she would have at most come up with a similar lipstick number when seeing this unique red.
Come on, the prose that reminded her of Duguji was really a bit forced on her.
The phone rang, Lady Gaga's phone, a popular song on the charts, but it really didn't match the autumn scenery in the courtyard, so she naturally wanted to cut off the inappropriate singing and fumbled for the black phone half exposed in the back of her jeans pocket.
The blonde bastard took out her cell phone and took a look. After seeing the caller number on her cell phone, she suddenly stood still. Her beautiful eyebrows, which were trimmed just yesterday, were slightly raised. The look between her eyebrows seemed to be a little suspicious.
"Seriously?" She muttered and accepted the unknown call.
The phone was connected, and the other person said nothing. The only thing that could be heard in the red-walled alley was
The sound of autumn wind blowing fallen leaves.
After about ten seconds, the blond bastard spoke first, "Moxi Moxi?"
"How is the situation?" the person on the other end of the phone asked her, not complaining about a native Spanish speaker who greeted her in Japanese.
"It's not that good, I didn't find what I wanted." The blond bastard was also used to the seriousness on the other side, "I went to Suolong Well in New Beiqiao, I also saw Zhenfei Well, and I also went to Donghua which only has 72 gold nails.
Door, the weirdest points in various folklores in the Forbidden City have been checked in, but there are no strange traces left recently. "
"Look again and find clues. As long as it's a game, there must be clues." The other person said calmly.
"You're smart, you have the final say. But is it really okay to call me at this time?" The blond bastard looked up at the ginkgo that blocked the sun and cast a shadow on his face, "I heard that now
There's quite a lot of commotion over at Kassel College."
"Do your job well, follow your lead after finding clues, Mandy, don't leave your personal feelings at an inopportune time."
"Okay, okay, I know." Mandy sighed.
The other person on the phone was quiet for a moment and then said, "They are fine. Hilbert will not let anything happen to him. The King of Earth and Mountain is indeed very strong, but its strength is limited. After all, she has not truly completed the fusion. Your mission
Just to prevent this from happening, I hope you can figure out the order of things. This is your biggest problem. You don't want to do your business after tasting tea, listening to a play, and sniffing snuff, right? Don't
You're wasting time, act quickly."
After finishing speaking, the call was hung up, and the entire call did not last more than forty seconds.
Mandy put down her cell phone leisurely, took out the disposable phone card, broke it off and threw it into the pile of leaves in the corner. Also thrown in was a crumpled ticket to Deyun Society. She walked to the end of the red-walled alley, outside
It was busy traffic in Beijing, and there was an aunt selling meat buns on the side, wearing an apron with "Linglong Shaobing" painted on it. biqμgètν
"Hey! Auntie, you're selling sesame cakes!" She rolled her eyes, then quietly slipped over and sniffed, "How do you sell them?"
"Hey! This foreign girl speaks Mandarin fluently. She must like our profound Chinese culture, right? Come on, aunt will give you a discount, it's fifteen yuan each."
"It's not only Chinese culture that is profound and profound, but also your level of taking advantage of foreign devils!"
"What did you say? My wife was hard of hearing."
"Nothing, I just want to compliment you on how delicious the sesame cakes are." The blond bastard remained calm.
"That's for sure. It's a local specialty and a must-try. The neighbors all say so."
"Nothing wrong." Mandy quietly took out 20 yuan and bought a meat bun, took a bite, "Auntie, I want to ask something."
"What's the matter? Auntie has a connection with Beijing. She knows everything. You can ask whatever you want, as long as it's not a state secret." The auntie at the sesame cake stall patted her chest and her brows were filled with pride.
"No national secrets, I just want to ask if there are any strange things around the Forbidden City that are worth talking about recently. It's better to be a little scary. That's what us foreigners like."
"Strange thing? Hmm" The aunt frowned.
Mandy slowly ate her sesame seeds while looking elsewhere, simply because she didn't have any expectations and had nothing to talk to.
"Oh, by the way, since I mentioned the recent strange things, I'm going to tell you a ghost story about the recent disappearance of people on the subway line...
"Oh? Tell me in detail!" Mandy took a bite of the sesame seed cake and turned back to ask curiously.
"The story starts with the accident on the Line 4 subway some time ago..."
In autumn, the city of Beijing is full of golden apricots, and the air is crisp and refreshing. The smoke from the sesame cakes on the edge of the red walls and yellow tiles rises to the branches. Below, a blond foreign girl squats on the side of the road, taking a bite of sesame cakes and chatting with an old lady.
.The terrible danger hidden in the deep darkness is still sleeping, just like the ginkgo fruits on the wall of the Forbidden City are becoming more and more plump, just waiting for the touch of the autumn wind, they will fall to the ground and spill out the full juice.
