The beach Song Jun was talking about was not a nearby beach. After all, the blockade had been lifted tonight and there were many tourists here. She was referring to a deserted coast in the distance.
According to her, one of the bodies was washed there by the waves.
After waiting for a while, a few more people came, but Xing Hong was not there. It was said that he had flown back to China and probably needed to report.
Several people from the department also left early.
Liang Jing borrowed a few cars from the local government, and everyone arrived at the destination. There were not so many lights here, but there were only a few cars on the beach with their lights on.
"Let's go."
After opening the door and getting out of the car, Cheng Lin followed the others and saw those Xia people on the beach. They were from the logistics department.
After greeting each other, Cheng Lin and others took a pure black cloth belt from the logistics and tied it on their arms. They each took a small flower-shaped candlestick, a white petal base, and a white
Everyone held a candle and looked at it, and the atmosphere became solemn.
Going further, I saw three stretchers placed side by side on the shore, covered with white cloth, and the sea was in the distance.
"Wow... Wow..."
The waves sound rhythmically.
No one spoke, everyone held candles in tacit understanding and stood beside the three corpses.
In a deep voice, Liang Jing successively recounted the names, departments, and past honors of the three deceased people, and recited a memorial speech, just like a real memorial service, except that the process was simpler and simpler. In the end, everyone
He bowed his head in silence for a minute, placed white candles around the body, and finally bowed, ending the farewell ceremony.
The logistics staff waiting aside will carry the body into the car, and then transport it back to the respective departments and bureaus, and the soul will return to its hometown. Specifically, a grander mourning will be held within each department and bureau.
"Let's go back."
Looking at the empty beach, Liang Jing said.
Everyone walked back.
The atmosphere is very gloomy.
Even Cheng Lin felt depressed. Although the three people who died were almost strangers to him, everyone could see themselves reflected in them.
The road ahead is long, and no one knows when he will die.
Become like them.
The only thing you can do is to work hard to become stronger, and then become stronger again, until you are so strong that you are not afraid of anyone or any danger.
This is also what Cheng Lin has been working hard to do.
"Cheng Lin?" As he walked from the beach to the highway, a voice suddenly stopped him.
Turning around, he saw He Shu. He was wearing the uniform of a division one, and his hair was a little messy, like a bird's nest. He must have come here after waking up in the hotel before. His hair was not washed, and the collar buttons were not fastened.
People are a little decadent and a little melancholy.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you had dinner? Let's go out to have a meal and get some fresh air. I'll treat you." He Shu said.
He had said before that he would go out with Cheng Lin to have some fun in the future, and this would be considered a fulfillment of his promise.
Cheng Lin thought for a while and didn't really want to go back to the hotel, so he nodded and asked casually: "Just the two of us?"
"Then find two more?"
"also."
Xia people pay attention to having a lively meal, especially if the atmosphere was so dull just now, more people can dilute it a bit.
However, it was originally a small gathering, and the two of them had no plans to have a dinner party. In the end, they called two people, Song Jun and Song Xianzhen. The latter, as the number one student in the Second Academy of the Magic City, had already known He Shu and the others. The four of them
We are all familiar with each other and we can chat easily.
After returning to the city, I asked the hotel waiter about a Chinese restaurant. A few people went there, occupied a table, ordered food, drank and laughed, and the layer of gray that was weighing on my heart was lifted a lot.
…
In the restaurant.
Halfway through the banquet, several people recovered and began to chat about the subsequent impact of this exploration.
"Speaking of which, there are quite a few people who died this time, especially compared with eup." Holding a glass of cold beer, He Shu couldn't help but sigh, "I asked about it before, you know, eup this time
Of those who came in, only two came back alive! Just two! Although we knew before that they suffered heavy losses, we did not dare to imagine that it would be so miserable! When the news spread, the entire world of spiritual practice exploded."
"So many people are dead? What happened? I heard your words were very vague before. Can you elaborate?" Cheng Lin put down his chopsticks and asked deliberately pretending to be ignorant.
"What else could it be? It's just because of that mysterious man." He Shu curled his lips and told everything he knew.
There is nothing new. From Terry's perspective, the reason why the eup's casualties were so heavy this time has a lot to do with that mysterious man.
"The people in Europe have something. I don't know what method they used to find out about the mysterious man. I heard that Europe has issued a reward all over the world to find the identity of the mysterious man. It's impossible not to find it.
Ah, so many masters have died, even for the sake of face, we must do something, otherwise what should we do?" He Shu shook his head and sighed.
Song Jun next to him pursed his lips and said:
"But I think it's very difficult. The man was completely covered and didn't leak anything. The only clue was the ability he used. But even with our country's information and intelligence capabilities, we don't have any clues. It would be difficult for Europe to find him.
sky."
"So what if I find him? According to what you said, I saw him fight with Byron with my own eyes, and seriously injured Byron with a sword. This shows that his combat power is by no means weaker than Byron, and is probably more powerful than Byron.
He is much stronger. Otherwise, according to the situation at that time, there is no need for him to take action. Dare to take action, which shows that he has enough confidence. Based on this calculation, I am afraid that this person's combat power can stabilize Byron, maybe... he is in the seventh level.
maybe."
Song Xianzhen said quietly from the side.
His mood was never very high, not because of the previous funeral, but because of the loss of the six-core puppet.
Yes, after the projection ended, his six-core puppet was also left in the fertile soil.
This made him feel quite guilty, although the Second Division did not blame him.
Seventh level realm...you really dare to think...
During the dinner, Cheng Lin secretly grinned and had the urge to cover his face.
If a few of them knew that the mysterious man was only at level 5 and was still at level 1, they didn't know what their expressions would be.
"Seventh level? It's unlikely. There are all seventh-levels in the world at present... But I can't say for sure. If a certain sixth-level realm has been promoted recently, it's not impossible... But I think
The probability is low." He Shu said after taking a sip of cold beer.
Song Jun also agreed:
"I also think it is unlikely, but even if he is not seventh-grade, he should be at the peak of sixth-grade. Whether he is deliberately pretending to be a master or a strong man cultivated by a hidden force, in this battle, he
It will definitely become world-famous, and maybe the global top 100 list will change."
Global Top 100 List?
what is that?
Cheng Lin was startled. This was the first time he heard this word.
It sounds like this is a list of practitioners. Is it a ranking of masters around the world?
He glanced at Song Xianzhen and found that he also looked confused.
Song Jun explained with a smile:
"It's normal that you don't know. This list hasn't appeared for a long time, and monks who don't enter the world basically don't know this information. This list is a statistical report under the World Federation of Practitioners. Oh, this
You can understand the Federation as a useless organization led by various countries. It is mainly responsible for coordinating the relationship between the spiritual circles of various countries, but in fact... the power of this so-called Federation is currently very limited."
After a pause, she continued:
"In comparison, the more famous one is its forum, which is similar to the domestic spiritual cultivation forum, but has a wider coverage and higher entry threshold. All the members are practitioners. You haven't graduated yet, so you have no contact.
arrive."
"The Global Top 100 List is a statistical list produced by the forum. It is a list composed of public information from various countries and information circulated in the cultivation world. It includes the 100 people with the most powerful cultivation base in the world."
Sure enough...
Cheng Lin nodded, it seemed that his guess was correct.
At this time, He Shu, who was tinkering with his cell phone next to him, suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone.
"What's wrong? Are you in shock?"
He Shu put down his wine glass with a bang, handed over his phone, and said excitedly: "The top 100 list has been updated! It was updated just ten minutes ago! That mysterious person is on the list!"
"What? He is on the list, how many places?" Song Jun was stunned.
"Ninth place!" He Shu seemed to be very excited. He had sobered up a lot. "He pushed Charlie Irving out! Now he is ranked ninth! Damn it, this is directly in the top ten! The federation is right
Is his estimate so high?"
Cheng Lin was also stunned now.
According to Song Jun, wouldn't his vest have reached the ninth position in the world? This is too sudden...
I feel guilty for being a fifth-grade person myself...
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, Cheng Lin put his head over pretending to be curious, and the other three people also looked at it.
As expected, there was a list on the screen, with a black background and white characters, and the association's logo at the top. Cheng Lin did not look for himself, but browsed from top to bottom.
Unsurprisingly, the number one person is Shi Shengcun. After his name is his rank and region.
