Yi Rin finished her trip to Itae City and returned to the capital.
Originally, Yi Lin planned to visit more cities and visit more old friends.
But the experience in the illusion made Yi Lin doubt whether her actions were of any use.
Is his memory really correct?
Is his rebirth really just an ordinary rebirth?
"Mengmeng's inference is wrong."
Yi Lin is sure.
The only thing he can be sure of now is that he has not returned to another timeline with the same trajectory intact.
Instead, he came to a world completely different from the one he knew.
Everything has changed.
Even the meaning of Ling Yiyi's existence has become a thorn in Yi Lin's heart.
Although he is not so fragile that he doubts life and the meaning of existence.
But after all, you need to calm down and sort out the doubts in your heart before you can move on.
There were really too many doubts in Yi Lin's mind.
He felt like there was a hand in the dark, disturbing everything.
What the "Undead Zhao Yulong" said in Huating City.
His parents suddenly disappeared.
Ling Yiyi's "future" that does not exist.
The mutation of Dawn Sect.
All of this seemed to tell Yi Lin that something was wrong with this world.
Something is very wrong.
But Yi Rin is living in this world now.
Where should he go next?
He is now even doubting whether the trajectory of this world will be like the future in his memory, where four knights of the apocalypse will come and bring disasters, causing natural disasters wherever they go.
If even the end will not come, then why is he reborn this time?
Yi Lin has a headache.
There are too many things to think about, too many things.
He felt like his brain was like a blocked toilet, unable to reach his thoughts.
"It's such a mess."
Yi Lin sighed helplessly.
He suddenly felt like the protagonist in a novel, caught in a huge whirlpool without knowing it.
After Yi Lin walked out of the underground network entrance, she walked aimlessly on the streets of the capital.
On the street, people were coming and going, it was bustling, it was a peaceful scene.
The sunshine is warm, bringing a touch of warmth to the early winter, which is very comfortable.
Suddenly looking back, it has been almost half a year since he became an apostle.
"It's almost 2122."
Yi Lin felt that her mood was a little strange.
This feeling of lamenting the passage of time is clearly something only an old man can have.
He quickly shook his head to clear the sad spring and autumn thoughts from his mind.
Wang Tiandi was in high spirits. The cold wind hit the dog's face and ruffled the hair on the dog's face. On the contrary, Wang Tiandi's body was covered with his tail erect, showing an awe-inspiring and inviolable coldness and arrogance. This attracted passers-by to look at him sideways.
I have to mention that although Wang Tiandi is a dog, among dogs, his appearance is indeed pretty good.
This dog is a cool dog with great looks and as cold and arrogant as a mountain.
——Wang Tiandi thought happily.
It also noticed that something was wrong with Yi Lin's mood, and would use its paws to pull Yi Lin's trouser legs from time to time to express comfort.
Yi Lin was a little confused.
What's this stupid dog doing to hold me back?
While wandering around.
Yi Lin had nothing to do, turned on her phone and browsed the posts in the capital city forum.
Zhao Yulong has taken control from the national level.
Once a post related to Itai City appears, it will be deleted, banned, and permanently banned in an instant, three times in one click.
Therefore, Yi Lin didn't see much abnormality on the forum.
But this matter has become a topic of conversation among ordinary people after dinner. At present, it is getting more and more intense and difficult to contain.
After all, Zhao Yulong can control public opinion on the Internet, but he cannot control the mouths of ordinary people.
A keyboard warrior can continue to struggle in life even without his keyboard.
It is said that Zhao Yulong even burned incense at the headquarters of the Special Group.
In a traditional and superstitious way, I pray to God and worship Buddha every day, hoping that the heat on this matter will cool down quickly.
Whether it will work or not, God knows.
"Gululu——"
A small seven-color leather ball rolled to Yi Lin's feet.
ball?
Yi Lin looked away from the phone screen.
He didn't even have time to identify where the ball came from.
But Wang Tiandi, who had been pulling Yi Lin's hind legs behind him, moved like the wind. He jumped out in a swish, all the dog hair was blown to the back of his head. In the blink of an eye, he snatched the ball on the ground and played with it happily.
Got up.
"Ah! Xiaoxi's ball! Xiaoxi's ball! Give it back to Xiaoxi! Wuwuwuwu!"
A milky-sounding lolita voice started to cry.
Crying so loudly.
"Ah this?"
Yi Lin raised her head.
A little girl with braids on her head rushed toward the dog, seemingly trying to save the ball from the dog's paws.
"Dog! Pay attention."
Yi Lin reminded from afar.
In broad daylight, Yi Lin didn't have the nerve to shout out Wang Tiandi's real name.
What a shame.
"It's you, big brother!"
Xiao Xi was just about to take her precious ball back from Gouzi's mouth, when she heard Yi Lin's voice, she raised her head and seemed to recognize Yi Lin.
"Well, it's quite fate!"
Yi Lin also recognized this little girl.
I didn't expect to meet him in the capital.
Yi Lin bent down, touched Xiao Xi's head, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Xi pouted and seemed a little dissatisfied: "It's all Mom's fault. She insisted on coming to live in a big city. Xiao Xi already said she didn't want it or not. But Mom actually went behind Xiao Xi's back and secretly bought it in this place.
I’ve had a few apartments and I hate them so much.”
Yi Lin: "..."
If it weren't for your young age, I would have thought you were showing off your wealth, kid!
This is not good for you!
Yi Lin actually wanted to take the opportunity to educate children on their values.
But her mouth moved, and Yi Lin was not in the mood, so she didn't say anything.
Only then did Yi Lin realize that he had accidentally wandered into the square, which was crowded with people from all over the place, making it very lively.
"Where's your mom?"
"I don't know, he was still there just now!"
From time to time, Xiao Xi glanced at the little ball that Wang Tiandi was playing with so much, as if she was still planning how to get the ball back.
This feeling seems familiar.
Why does it feel like every time he and this Xiao Xi meet, she is in a state of being "lost".
Sure enough, people and their physiques cannot be generalized.
Maybe this is talent.
Meeting each other is fate.
Yi Lin had nothing to do anyway, so he could only take Xiao Xi and sit down on a nearby bench.
He planned to wait and see for a while. If Xiao Xi's mother couldn't come to find someone after a while, Yi Lin could only use some official help.
Since you have privileges, don’t use them in vain.
"Brother, you don't keep your words!"
Xiao Xi suddenly put her hands on her hips and pointed at Yi Lin with a sweet voice and said:
"Ah? Why don't you keep your words?"
"You said before that when you returned to Qingcheng, you came to play with Xiaoxi and even held her high!"
As Xiao Xi spoke, she stretched out her hand and made a "raise it high" gesture, indicating that she wanted to be very, very high.
Yi Lin lowered her head and thought.
It seems that he did agree casually at that time.
But he didn't expect that he could actually meet her in the vast sea of people!
What a surprise.
"Lift it high, lift it high!"
"Okay, okay!"
Yi Lin effortlessly lifted Xiao Xi up. Xiao Xi was lifted above her head by Yi Lin, giggling innocently.
When people passing by saw this scene, they smiled like aunts and whispered.
"Look, that man looks a bit fierce, but I didn't expect him to be so caring!"
"Nonsense, how can you be caring by playing with your own daughter? It's normal, isn't it?"
"Ah? You have children at such a young age? Young people of this generation, tsk tsk tsk."
"What's this? I heard a while ago that my neighbor next door just graduated from high school. He is 18 years old. He is so handsome. In the blink of an eye, he is the father of three children!"
"Ah? Doesn't the law care?"
"What the hell? You're overthinking this! His little girl is married to a rich woman, and she's buying one and getting three free!"
"Ah, envy... no, I'm jealous."
"..."
Listening to the conversations of passers-by, Yi Lin felt a little embarrassed.
Why does he look so fierce?
Yi Lin was very speechless.
After playing with Xiao Xi for a while, Yi Lin put Xiao Xi down.
"Big brother, would you like to study with Xiao Xi?"
Xiao Xi's cute little face was flushed with excitement.
She took out an exquisite illustrated novel from somewhere, and it was actually a hardcover paper collector's edition.
The title of the novel is also very interesting.
——"I am obviously a weakling but the whole world regards me as a savior. Now I am panicking. What should I do?"
The title of the book is too long.
It took me three lines to write down the title of the book in its entirety.
Yi Lin remained silent.
Xiao Xi tried her best to sit on the bench, her calves shaking up and down rhythmically.
She put the graphic novel on her lap and flipped through the pages quickly.
"Brother, do you know?"
"Xiao Xi likes reading books the most."
Xiao Xi turned the novel to the middle and laughed.
"Xiao Xi can turn the book to the beginning or to the middle. Sometimes, Xiao Xi likes to turn the book directly to the end!"
"The protagonist of this book, whether it is the past, present, or future, Xiaoxi can clearly see it anytime and anywhere!"
"But sometimes, some books are not well written, and Xiaoxi is so angry that she tears them up, but Mom gives her a good scolding!"
After Xiao Xi finished speaking, she closed the book on her lap.
"This book is so-so written!"
After saying that, Xiao Xi's bright eyes looked towards Yi Lin.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, where are you? Don't scare mom! Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi!"
At this moment.
A beautiful woman with a good figure, a flustered expression, shouted in the crowd.
"Mom, I'm here, I'm here!"
Xiao Xi stood up on the bench excitedly and yelled in the direction of the sound.
One minute later.
When mother and daughter reunited, the beautiful woman hugged Xiao Xi tightly, blamed herself for not paying attention, and kept thanking the kindhearted Yi Lin.
"Goodbye, big brother!"
Xiao Xi held the beautiful woman's hand, and Wang Tiandi reluctantly returned the ball, squatted at Yi Lin's feet, stuck out his tongue, and still had a lot of fun playing with the ball.
Yi Lin looked at mother and daughter, drifting away.
suddenly.
Yi Lin raised her head, with an indifferent expression, and asked Xiao Xi's back, "Who are you?"
Xiaoxi turned around.
He stuck out his tongue at Yi Lin and made a face.
"My name is Xiao Xi! Big brother."
Finished.
The mother and daughter soon disappeared into the crowd.
Yi Lin sat down on the empty bench, holding her chin with both hands, her face sullen, thoughtful.
This posture and expression scared passers-by and backed away, for fear of provoking some ruthless character who shouldn't be provoked.
"Xiao Xi?"
Yi Lin murmured to herself, thinking about the name carefully.
Yi Lin didn't know how long she had been sitting on the bench.
Only when the sky darkened and neon lights of various colors lit up around her did Yi Lin come back from her thoughts.
Gu Gu Gu——
There was a rumble of hunger in his stomach.
Ah, no.
Yi Lin lowered her head.
The sound came from Emperor Wang Tian's belly.
Emperor Wang Tian raised his head aggrievedly and looked at Yi Lin.
It seems to be using this method to express a silent protest against Yilin's cruelty to dogs.
Yi Lin chuckled lightly.
The gloom in his eyes was swept away.
He smiled and touched Wang Tiandi's dog head: "Are you hungry? I've wronged you."
Wang Tiandi raised the corners of his mouth, straightened his hind legs and bent his front legs, and stood up in front of Yi Lin.
Emperor Wang Tian could even flick his tail and spiral up into the sky. This kind of anthropomorphic standing action made Yi Lin feel that it was ordinary, boring and without any waves.
But what is this dog doing standing up?
Yi Lin didn't have time to ask.
Wang Tiandi patted his belly vigorously with his paws, pointed to his mouth, and finally very cleverly bent his forearms in a large arc in front of him.
"You mean, you want to eat so full that your belly feels like you're pregnant?"
Yi Lin understood Wang Tiandi's actions immediately.
Although he didn't understand dog language, Wang Tiandi, the thief, actually thought of this method of communication.
Emperor Wang Tian: "..."
Who, who the hell wants to get pregnant!
I am a male, a male, a male!
Although there are some flaws in Yi Lin's metaphor.
But the overall meaning is probably correct.
The corners of Wang Tiandi's mouth twitched and he hesitated for a moment. He could not correct Yi Lin's inappropriate metaphor and could only nod his head silently.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Yi Lin smiled and took Emperor Wang Tian to the restaurant.
One person and one dog, having a good meal in a restaurant.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Yi Lin specially ordered a private room with a minimum consumption.
After eating and drinking, Emperor Wang Tiandi quietly took a toothpick and picked his teeth with a very happy expression.
Ah, this is life.
Yi Lin took Wang Tiandi back to Molly's laboratory.
It was late at night, and the doorman stood dutifully at the door.
Yi Lin was also a frequent visitor to the laboratory. The guard exchanged a few pleasantries and asked with concern whether there were any sequelae on the back of Yi Lin's head after falling last time, and then put Yi Lin into the laboratory.
Yi Lin is not worried about Molly's safety.
He knew very well that this seemingly undefended laboratory, guarded only by a middle-aged guard, was surrounded by many field personnel from the Special Forces lurking as sentinels.
As long as there are no apostles with special abilities, it is generally difficult to break through the surrounding secret sentries.
As for the apostle... no one with a little knowledge would provoke Molly.
After all, provoking Molly is equivalent to provoking the special group.
The special group is equivalent to the official management organization of the apostles. There are countless capable people, but there is no benefit if you mess with them. No one will be that stupid.
Yi Lin came back quietly without alerting anyone.
When one person and one dog tiptoed past Molly's dedicated laboratory, Yi Lin discovered that there was a faint light coming from the crack in the door.
"Is she staying up late again?"
Yi Lin felt a little distressed inexplicably.
But Yi Lin stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to disturb him, and returned to his room with Gouzi.
"Welcome home, Yi Lin."
"It is now December 18, 2121, 22:30."
When Yi Lin walked into the room.
Accompanied by the soft and beautiful AI female voice, the lights in the whole room suddenly turned on.
In a daze, Yi Lin had the illusion of returning to her former home.
Ah this?
When did Molly back up the AI butler he was used to?
Do you have the nerve to say that you left no evidence?
I didn't expect you to be so cute.
Yi Lin laughed dumbly.
But after a few seconds, he smiled knowingly and felt mixed.
After returning here after a long journey, Yi Lin took a comfortable bath and turned on the TV to watch for a while.
Late night TV shows are boring and not as exciting as the late night shows in Greentown.
When Wang Tiandi saw Yi Lin turn on the TV, he rushed to the sofa, squatted next to Yi Lin, and gave him a "you know, you know" look.
"Okay, okay, it's the animal world, right? You're such a dog."
Yi Lin never imagined that one day she would have to compete with a dog to watch TV.
But remembering that Emperor Wang Tian had contributed a lot in Litai City, he followed Wang Tian Emperor's whim and switched channels.
Yi Lin is naturally not interested in the various animals without clothes on TV shows.
Emperor Wang Tian looked at it with gusto, and his expression gradually changed.
Yi Lin changed into a comfortable position, wearing a clean bathrobe and sitting on the sofa.
The bathrobe is very warm and comfortable.
Yi Lin turned his attention away from the TV program. Taking advantage of Molly's absence, he casually summoned Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu to get some air.
This ordinary "summoning spirit" can also increase the proficiency of the spirit-attached weapon a little bit, which is better than nothing, but the better is to add up to a small amount.
"Acridine! Master!"
"I've met the officials."
After the two mother spirits, Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu, expressed their respect to Yi Lin in their own ways, Yi Lin let them move freely in the room while their spiritual energy was still sufficient. He was alone, bowing his head in thought.
.
It's best to think about problems in the dead of night.
Although the room was a little lively, it was fine once you got used to it.
The two mother spirits have long been accustomed to Yi Lin's coldness. Nie Hongxiu rarely appears, gentle and elegant, floating in the air obediently, calmly wearing a red gauze... watching TV.
Bai Xiaoyi was restless and pulled the dog hair on Wang Tiandi's head curiously with her hands.
ten minutes later.
After Yi Lin went through the whole thing for a while, he opened the communication panel and sent a voice call request to one of the illuminated avatars.
soon.
The voice connection is connected.
Yi Lin smiled and said, "You pick it up pretty quickly."
Xing Fei tried his best to sound calm and calm, and asked slowly: "Ahem, I don't know what kind of care the boss has for me in the middle of the night?"
Do not know why.
Yi Lin always felt that Xing Fei's tone of voice was a little nervous.
What's there to be nervous about?
Yi Lin didn't think much and asked straight to the point: "I have some professional questions that I would like to ask you."
"Professional?"
Yi Lin: "..."
Xing Fei paused for a moment and then said: "Boss, didn't you say we'd never have any contact with each other until we die? Are you actually secretly investigating my background in reality? Isn't it bad that words don't count? Wait, couldn't you have already arrived at my house?
It's nearby, are you ready to come to your door?"
What Yi Lin didn't know was that Xing Fei, who was talking to Yi Lin at home, was so frightened that after thinking about everything, he quickly pressed against the wall and looked at every corner of the house with a cold look, for fear of exposing his anus.
come out.
He probably will never forget it in his life. No one knows assassination better than Yi Lin.
Xing Fei's excessive reaction made Yi Lin quite puzzled.
When did you say we would never have contact with each other until death?
Yi Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't scare yourself, I'm referring to your other major."
Xing Fei was stunned.
He reacted instantly and his tone was slightly condensed: "Alchemy?"
Yi Lin quickly expressed his intention: "I just want to ask if there is a formation in alchemy that can summon alien creatures."
That's right.
As the saying goes, one has to specialize in the art, and the experience inside the bust of the Buddha really touched Yi Lin's blind spot.
He remembered that Xing Fei studied alchemy and should have certain attainments. According to Zhao Yulong, the formation in the belly of the bust of Buddha is still being excavated to see if it can be restored. Before Zhao Yulong came to a conclusion, Yi Lin
I plan to consult Xing Fei first to see if he has any unique insights.
After all, according to Yi Lin's superficial understanding of alchemy, the power of alchemy must be achieved through a medium similar to "formation".
really.
When Yi Lin mentioned this matter, Xing Fei's interest was instantly piqued.
"An alien creature? Please elaborate."
But before Yi Lin could start speaking.
However, Xing Fei's tone changed and he said in surprise: "Wait, alien creature? Boss, what you want to ask about is... the monster in Litai City?"
"Oh? You actually know?"
"The specific inside story is not clear. After all, the official has intervened to block the news. However, this matter has also been circulated in some private channels. It is quite mysterious. Listening to your reaction, boss, it turns out that this matter is true.
.”
Yi Lin sighed: "After you listen, just pretend you have never heard of it. Otherwise, even if I don't look for you, someone will come to your door."
Xing Fei instantly felt like crying: "Boss, please don't cheat me! Is it too late for me to hang up now?"
"It's too late!" Yi Lin smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, no one can eavesdrop on the calls between the apostles anyway, so just keep it a secret."
"Okay."
I thought that Yi Lin actually knew the inside story of this matter.
Yi Lin omitted the entire incident and told Xing Fei the key points, including the hundreds of people kneeling down to offer sacrifices, praying, formations, etc. inside the bust of the Buddha.
Xing Fei did not interrupt during the whole process and was very quiet.
But the shock in my heart could not be greater.
If something like this happens during a trial, no matter how weird it is, it won't seem strange.
But it would be a bit scary if it happened in the real world.
Hundreds of people actually followed this ancient ritual to commit suicide, and actually summoned a monster that didn't belong to this world. It was simply unbelievable.
After the shock.
Xing Fei thought for a long time.
He even interrupted the conversation midway to read through all kinds of weird books he had collected from the black market.
About half an hour later.
Xing Fei had a reply.
Yi Lin waited until her eyes were sleepy and she almost thought this kid was going to run away.
"Boss, according to the formation you mentioned to summon monsters after sacrifice, it is more like a lost black magic than alchemy."
"Dark magic?"
"It is a certain mysterious ritual that was popular on the European continent in the Middle Ages. Because it is too old and has been lost, there is no way to study it."
