In the cold northern night, it is so dark that not a single star can be seen. However, if someone really looks up at the sky through a warm window, if they are lucky enough, they may catch a glimpse of a fleeting figure.
in the air.
Cheng Lin drove the He sword and flew at an extremely fast speed.
His clothes were buttoned very tightly, but they were still fluttering open in the cold wind. However, under the influence of the title "Son of Blizzard", not only did he not feel the cold, but his sword-wielding speed also increased.
"At this speed, we can definitely reach the capital before dawn." Cheng Lin thought to himself as he flew.
Occasionally I lower my head and overlook the land. After leaving the city, a large area is dark, with only a few towns dotted across the barren land, like lighthouses.
In order to avoid flying too low and attracting people's attention, he deliberately flew very high. Coupled with the cover of the night, absolutely no one could detect him unless he was a strong person in the perception system.
The past few days of rest have been leisurely and pleasant. Sometimes being too leisurely can make you feel uncomfortable all over. It is difficult to get news and make deductions. Now, a phone call from Liang Jing suddenly restored his energy.
"Buzz..."
Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Lin suddenly saw a passenger plane coming from ahead. He grinned, quickly raised his altitude, and flew sideways, trying to avoid it.
In the cabin, most of the passengers were drowsy. A few of them couldn't sleep, so they just stared at the dark portholes. Soon, at a certain moment, they caught a fleeting trajectory, and then froze and hurriedly pushed the door open.
Wake up the companion next to you:
"Did you see that? Did you see that?"
"What?" the companion asked sleepily.
"A person! I just saw one flying past from outside! He seemed to be waving at me!"
"...Why are you dreaming even if you haven't slept..."
"real!"
"Okay, okay, really, I believe you." The companion muttered helplessly, then turned over and continued to sleep.
…
In the air, watching the passenger plane that looked like a giant bird flying past him, Cheng Lin smiled slightly and continued moving forward.
Once the spiritual energy is consumed, he will open the spiritual world on the spot, enter it to recover, and then come out to fly again.
Flying like this, Cheng Lin saw the outline of Yanshan Mountain when it was just dawn.
Yanshan, in an office among the mountain peak buildings.
Liang Jing was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard, dealing with the backlog of matters in his mailbox.
"Crackling..."
He tapped enter with his well-proportioned hands, then Liang Jing leaned back and let out a breath of exhaustion.
Then she twisted her neck to the left and right, and listened to the sound of bones rattling, and she sighed helplessly.
He reached out to pick up the cold coffee next to his right hand and used his powers to slowly heat it up, feeling a little distracted.
She was the only one in the office, the lights were still bright, but the dark windows had emitted a hazy white light at some point.
The night passed like this.
"Alas..." Sighing silently, Liang Jing smiled to himself, then looked at the phone at hand, remembering the call he made in the early morning, and wondered how Cheng Lin would come over.
At this moment, she suddenly turned her head to look at the door with awareness, and then she saw the door opened from the outside in, and the cold air filled in instantly.
"Cheng..." Liang Jing was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would come so quickly. Cheng Lin let out a breath of cold air and walked in with a smile, "You're still working overtime so early?"
Liang Jing always felt that this sentence was a bit awkward, but he could only stand up and smile bitterly: "You work hard."
Cheng Lin's eyes moved, but he didn't ask any questions, and his expression was slightly serious:
"Let's get down to business. Are you ready to explore now?"
Liang Jing nodded, suppressing the doubts in his heart, knowing that it was not what he should ask, so he just said seriously:
"The situation is now clear, especially in many colleges across the country. The second batch of students have graduated collectively and have entered various departments and bureaus. The manpower is not so stretched. Moreover, we are considering using exploration to deal with this new batch of students.
The members are going to have some experience...Well, I didn’t know the status of the previous explorations, and I didn’t dare to let go of the training, but this time, with you in command, it will definitely be different from the past.”
You guys really have confidence in me... Cheng Lin muttered silently.
Then he smiled and said: "When will it start?"
"You are the leader, you decide." Liang Jing smiled.
Do I decide... Cheng Lin blinked and turned to look at the sky: "Then have breakfast first, and then let's get started."
…
…
Our company has a dedicated canteen that is open all day, so breakfast is easy to prepare.
After simply filling his stomach with Liang Jing, Cheng Lin asked for a separate and quiet room. After confirming that there was no surveillance, Cheng Lin closed the door, and the surroundings became quiet again.
This is an extremely simple quiet room, without too many clutter, not even a table. The floor is made of wood. It is one of the rooms specially used for meditation. It looks like a practice room.
"Wow..."
Cheng Lin silently poured himself a cup of coffee and drank it slowly. When he felt calm enough, he took out his phone, opened the hidden folder, and clicked on the "deduction program app".
The familiar starry sky interface, but now the mood of controlling it is different.
"At every moment, there are a million possibilities for the direction of civilization."
After reciting silently once, Cheng Lin took a deep breath, then exhaled it, getting rid of distracting thoughts and entering a state of extreme concentration.
Clicking the button, familiar vibrations and white light filled his field of vision. Cheng Lin did not close his eyes this time, but tried to use high-level cultivation to spy on the changes in the white light. Unfortunately, there was still no gain.
On the first day of the new year, Cheng Lin started his thirteenth deduction.
…
Information comes to mind:
[Start to deduce the direction of civilization in this world...]
[Deduction in progress...]
[Get Chapter: Catastrophe (Abyss)]
[The chapter will open in 10 seconds... 10, 9, 8...]
The light dissipated and the vibrations subsided. Cheng Lin stood quietly in the room, with the chapter title of this deduction echoing in his mind.
Catastrophe... This is obviously not a good word. As for the meaning, it is still obscure. Similarly, "abyss" can refer to many things.
Putting away the phone, a narration voice appeared in my ears:
[You have started the thirteenth deduction. Thirteen is an interesting number. It is regarded as "misfortune" and "disaster" among many ethnic groups. It also means "betrayal" and "suffering". No one can tell clearly.
, where did it originate? Later generations can only connect it with myths and legends, and try to attribute it to customs and superstitions]
[Digital scientists believe that 12 is a perfect number, which is reflected in every corner of the world, while 13 breaks the "perfection" and indicates that everything is no longer stable]
[Of course... you don't have such taboos and think these are nonsense. You sit in the room and quietly wait for the "accident" to happen. However, nothing unusual is found.]
