After hearing Wen Yuexin's words, Lin Ran almost lost his grip on the phone.
No wonder Ning Zixi seemed worried. It turned out that she had resigned in advance before coming to see him!
At such a young age, he has already become the deputy dean of Yuanli College of Ninghai University. He can be ranked alongside Li Qiushui as the goddess in the national university circle. Why did he suddenly choose to leave?
What is Ning Zixi going to do?
Lin Ran immediately contacted Ning Zixi, but the latter's number was no longer accessible.
Things seemed to be getting a little out of control.
Lin Ran was not clear-headed before and did not think deeply about what Ning Zixi said, but now that he thought about it, he began to feel that something was wrong.
Even the madness and release revealed in the last kiss were all manifestations of the violent fluctuations in Ning Zixi's inner emotions!
"Why is she standing against me?" Lin Ran frowned deeply, but no one could give him the answer.
It was quiet late at night.
Ning Zixi walked out of the hotel, got into a car, and drove straight to the mouth of Xiajiang River.
Standing on the pier, Ning Zixi's long hair was blown by the wind. Her eyes were slightly squinted, looking at the sea shrouded in the late night, her thoughts racing.
A cruise ship has been waiting there for a long time.
The cruise ship did not sell tickets and did not fly the flag of any country.
Ning Zixi stood on the dock and thought for a long time before stepping onto the cruise ship.
On the deck of the cruise ship, there were many sailor-looking people busy.
The moment Ning Zixi stepped onto the deck, the lights in all the rooms on the cruise ship instantly turned on!
The sound of the sailing horn sounded instantly!
And all the sailors stopped busy, turned to Ning Zixi, and knelt down on one knee!
At this moment, Ning Zixi's temperament changed drastically!
That charm completely disappeared, and was replaced by a domineering aura that seemed to have never appeared in her before!
This domineering air, with the meaning of a king, makes Ning Zixi look majestic and radiant at the same time!
After glancing at the crowd, Ning Zixi opened her red lips and said, "Let's go home."
…………
At this time, Lin Ran saw a small, flat box on the bedside table, like a jewelry box.
When he and Ning Zixi took a shower before, Lin Ran was confused and infatuated. After a while, his thoughts were thrown into confusion by Ning Zixi's kiss. Therefore, Lin Ran didn't realize at all that Ning Zixi was in love. Zi Xi left this thing for herself.
Only then did Lin Ran remember that before Ning Zixi healed her injury, she said that if Lin Ran healed her injury again, she would give Lin Ran a gift.
Now, this flat box should contain this gift.
After Lin Ran opened it, he found a black and gold ring inside.
This ring doesn't seem to be anything special. It doesn't seem to be much different from the fashion rings sold in many jewelry stores, but it seems to be significantly lighter in weight.
However, Lin Ran believed that what Ning Zixi sent could never be ordinary jewelry.
He used his mental power to sense it, but didn't find anything special about the ring. Then he used a little force to break the ring with two fingers, but he couldn't break it!
With Lin Ran's strength, if this ring was made of ordinary materials, he would have broken it in half!
He was a little surprised, so he added a little more force.
The ring is still motionless, not even a little deformed!
Lin Ran became more and more interested.
Immediately afterwards, he directly used his source power!
Uh-huh!
A ray of light flashed, but it still couldn't be broken!
"Here, what kind of material is this made of?" Lin Ran was a little surprised: "Isn't it the same thing as the Flame-Slashing Sword?"
The Flame-Destroying Knife was very hard and somewhat similar to this ring. However, based on the weight of the ring, Lin Ran instinctively thought that the ring was hollow and slightly different from the material of the Flame-Zhutting Knife.
Then, he made a new discovery.
He originally wanted to continue to exert source power to test where the critical hardness of the ring was. However, to Lin Ran's expectation, the inconspicuous trace of source power he released was directly The ring was absorbed!
That's right, Lin Ran saw with his own eyes that the source of power quickly disappeared into the ring!
"I'll go, right?"
Looking at this scene, Lin Ran felt incredible!
This thing can actually absorb source power on its own?
He raised the ring to his eyes and looked left and right, but he couldn't see any cracks or gaps that could allow the source of energy to enter!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ran output another source of power.
The volume of this source of power is about ten times that of the previous trace of source power.
The black gold ring continues to absorb everything!
"I can't believe that this thing is so good at pretending!"
In Lin Ran's opinion, the size of the ring could not contain the power he had just exerted!
Then, he simply placed the ring in the middle of the bed, raised his hand, and hit it with several Carmen Stars!
Unexpectedly, those stars formed by condensed source power were also absorbed by the ring! No harm was done to it!
In fact, the absorption process is completed almost instantly! Not a single bit of source power escapes!
"A ring that can store source power on its own?" Lin Ran looked at the ring and studied it for a while, "So, where did the source power stored in it go? Can it be stimulated again?"
However, Lin Ran's idea of using source power to inspire the ring came to nothing.
No matter how much source power he inputs, it disappears like a mud cow entering the sea, and he cannot activate this ring!
"This thing is a bit interesting." Lin Ran suddenly wanted to try inputting his dark source power.
However, when the black source power just emerged from the palm of his hand, it shrank back before it even touched the black gold ring! It feels like a mouse meets a cat!
Lin Ran could even read a feeling of fear from this source of power!
"What's going on?" Lin Ran found this more and more interesting. Could it be that this black source of energy instinctively felt the danger and was afraid that once he entered the ring, he would not be able to get out?
There was also a little note in the box that said - wear it.
This is Ning Zixi's handwriting.
There is also a line of "text" engraved on the inner ring of the ring.
According to Lin Ran's intuition, this should be words, not symbols. However, Lin Ran had never seen such a font before and had no idea which country it came from.
"It can't be an antique from some prehistoric civilization."
Lin Ran didn't hesitate and put the ring on his middle finger. The size was just right.
The ring was cold and didn't bring him any special feeling.
However, Lin Ran chose to believe in Ning Zixi.
This woman has many secrets, and this ring may be one of the secrets!
…………
After dawn, Lin Ran was preparing to leave for the Black Hawk Federation. After arriving at the airport, a girl wearing a mask and a baseball cap came up to him and handed him a certificate.
"This is a new ID document issued by the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, we will transport your flame-killing knife to the Black Hawk Federation in one day through special channels," the girl said.
Lin Ran felt that the voice was a bit familiar. When he saw the girl's eyes, he immediately said: "Are you... Xia Chuyi?"
Because Xia Chuyi's eyes were slightly blue and seemed to have a mixed-race flavor, which impressed Lin Ran deeply.
"Do you still remember me?" Xia Chuyi took off her mask, revealing a pretty face that was both sexy and noble. Her skin was fair, and her facial features were not only three-dimensional, but also quite attractive. She seemed to have a certain kind of personality that everyone The temperament of a lady.
It is quite rare to be able to combine the beauty of the East with the sexiness of the West. What's more, in Xia Chuyi, the combination of these two temperaments does not feel inconsistent at all.
"Of course." Lin Ran smiled, "I just didn't expect you to come."
At this time, even a fool can guess that Xia Chuyi has another identity.
The last time she introduced herself to Lin Ran was as a teacher majoring in Yuanli at Xia Jing University.
"Let's get acquainted again. My name is Xia Chuyi, the director of the Special Agent Division of the Department of Homeland Security." Xia Chu stretched out his hand with a smile, "This time, I don't need to keep anything secret from you. .”
Lin Ran stretched out his hand, held the slender hand, and then said, "Then you should also know my identity now?"
In fact, Lin Ran was a little surprised. After all, within the Ministry of National Security, the director of the Special Agent Division is definitely a super powerful position. If you want to secure this position, you can only rely on your own background and not have a work ability that far exceeds that of your colleagues. impossible.
It is extremely rare for Xia Chuyi to take on this important responsibility at this age.
"I do know." Xia Chuyi said, "I will accompany you to the Black Hawk Federation. There, I will try my best to meet all your requirements."
"A-level?" Lin Ran looked Xia Chuyi up and down before saying.
With just a few glances, he had already seen through Xia Chuyi's strength.
"The specific level of source power is in the early stage of A-level." Xia Chu pushed back the hair on the side of his face and smiled, "However, the combat power is relatively average because he is usually too busy and it is difficult to have enough time to practice. Combat skills.”
"It's already very good." Lin Ran said, "Of course, your family's skills are also very good. If you have enough time to practice, your upper limit will be higher."
"Yes, our family would like to thank you very much... Let's go, get ready to board the plane."
Xia Chuyi reached out and took Lin Ran's arm: "From now on, we are lovers."
"Having such a beautiful woman playing the role of a couple with me is a bonus for this mission?" Lin Ran was in a good mood.
Xia Chuyi smiled but did not answer.
Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, does the intelligence department of the Black Hawk Federation know what you look like?"
After all, Xia Chuyi, as the director of the Special Agent Division, is probably a thorn in the side of the Black Hawk Federal National Security Department!
"Only Aaliyah from Haider knows my name, but she probably doesn't know my appearance either." Xia Chuyi put on the mask again, "Actually, I usually hide my identity very well."
"By the way, we are now playing a couple. So, according to the task, are there any standards required between us?" Lin Ran thought of a key question and asked, "Specifically... to what point do we play the role? Couple?"
Xia Chuyi did not hesitate and said bluntly: "After all, it is a mission requirement. We will do whatever step the mission requires to avoid being exposed."
