Two consecutive days have passed, and there are still aftershocks from the earthquake that suddenly occurred in the Shangnan City Fighting Association.
No one expected that Pei Shuang, the vice president of the Shangnan War Association who had always worked on his own land and rarely showed any desire for power, would have such a strong side. He suddenly exerted his strength and convened two high-level meetings in succession. Nearly a quarter of the management of the Fighting Association was purged!
For a time, the entire Shangnan War Association was in mourning, and many people with resentment reported it to the higher authorities, but the higher-level association directly suppressed it. Instead, they traced the source and eliminated a group of whistleblowers with impure motives.
Only then did people realize that they still knew too little about Pei Shuang.
The superior combat association cooperated with Shang Nan's military to form an iron net, catching countless moths fighting against the fire!
"There will definitely be some people who slip through the net, but we don't need to pay too much attention to it. At least during the two months I am still in office, they will not dare to come forward."
"Thank you, President Pei, for your cooperation!" Captain Du Qian saluted a military salute from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm grateful for your cooperation. Without that clue, I really don't know how bad the management of the Combat Association has become." Pei Shuang replied with a smile, and at the same time casually said: "I don't know if Captain Du can help me. To pull the strings, Pei Shuang sincerely wants to say thank you to that friend."
"President Pei really thinks too highly of me. We are just following orders." Du Qian said with a wry smile.
"That's really a pity. I see that your time is valuable, so I won't force you to dine here. Please express my sincere gratitude to Commander Yang for me!" Pei Shuang stood up and stretched out her arm gracefully, and gave Du Qian a gentle kiss. He shook it and said with a smile.
"Be sure to convey it!"
The military people left, and the empty conference room fell silent again.
Pei Shuang boredly picked up the smart controller and rotated it on her fingertips.
"The tone is quite tight. I'm just curious, but I don't really want to do anything."
"My little Yunxue is still kind-hearted and beautiful. She always answers all the questions asked by my aunt."
"Yunxue is not at home today at noon, and she has to prepare lunch by herself. Alas, I am so focused on my family and my career that I don't even have a man to cook for me."
Suddenly he pressed the controller on the table with a snap, and his eyes lit up.
"Wait a minute, I forgot something in the past two days. I left my car with the weird muscular man."
Thinking of this, Pei Shuang couldn't sit still immediately. He always felt that his beloved sports car should not suffer inhuman treatment there.
So he immediately stood up, picked up his small Malus satchel, and walked out.
When she just walked out of the conference room, Pei Shuang suddenly stopped, looked down at her high heels, then turned and entered her office.
30 seconds later, Pei Shuang changed into a pair of low-heeled shoes and walked out calmly.
…
…
When Pei Shuang was about to pick up the car, the aftershocks in Shangnan City seemed to have finally settled.
But in District 11, which is across the ocean, in the eyes of other people, it is a different situation.
In the neon country Kyushu, Yakushima.
In Dachuan Waterfall, the hollowed-out mountain is slightly more metalized than it was ten days ago.
Walking deeper, the giant metal gate that can shock the world is still as bright as before.
In front of the gate, five blue crystals half as tall as a person form a rhombus.
Two meters above the rhombus, a middle-aged man with a strong face wearing a cloak is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by a shallow black and white airflow.
Although it is an exaggeration, it is as small as an ant compared to the fifty-meter-high metal gate.
On a split-level high platform about 100 meters away from the giant metal door, a young man also wearing a cloak but not covering his face stood quietly, carefully observing the mysterious miracle in front of him.
At this time, a man with a short height but burly shoulders walked up behind him. His military boots landed on the silver metal ground, making a strong knocking sound. He stood beside the young man, looked ahead and said with emotion:
"Cangchuan, how much has the level of metalization of miracles increased today? Just standing here, I can feel the surging power emerging like the sea."
In the field of vision of the two people, in addition to the door that originally exuded metallic luster, there were also large areas of rocks on both sides with metallic luster.
It seemed to be assimilated steel.
"1.5%. Qinglei, how's the news over there?" The young man named Cangchuan looked to his side.
"Piying's lines in Shangnan City have all been disconnected. If people from the Yaoguang Society hadn't warned us, our hidden stakes would have been demolished all the way to the Taihu Fortress. If nothing else, Ji Wu should be dead. He didn’t have any information, and this matter was facilitated by Shang Nan’s military.”
At this point, Qing Lei spread his hands and said sarcastically, "You should also know that Ji Wu always likes to hide his secrets when doing things. He doesn't like to stick to the rules."
"So, it's not good to claim to be smart." Cangchuan continued calmly.
"Yes, a person like this still covets Luo Wan, and his skills are more than two orders of magnitude worse." Qing Lei patted Cang Chuan on the shoulder, "I have reported the matter to you truthfully, and I will not disturb Master Mo." Alright, you can report it to Master Mo when the time comes."
"Yeah." Cangchuan nodded.
Qing Lei strode away, when the hydraulic door behind him closed.
A hundred meters away, Lord Mo, hanging above the crystal, opened his eyes and said in a gentle and mellow voice, "Do you have anything else to do there?"
He was clearly speaking to the giant metal door, but his voice was clearly transmitted to the back.
There was no fluctuation on Cangchuan's face, as if he had long been accustomed to this situation.
"Lv Kuaishou sent a message. He said that he was surprised by the changes in Shangnan City. At the same time, he mentioned that Wei, the commander of the wasteland, was sent by him, but he has completely lost contact since leaving Shencheng. But according to our information, Wei is not dead."
"I understand, this guy." The leader finally stood up and walked down from the air with a smile. The black and white airflow surrounding him slowly dissipated, and his eyes, one black and one white, returned to normal.
Master Mo made a casual move, and the bracelet placed aside flew straight up and hung in the palm of his hand.
After clicking several times in the air, a light and shadow emerged.
A middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses and friendly eyes, appeared in the light curtain. After seeing Lord Mo, he touched his chest respectfully and bowed to show respect.
"Lord Mo."
"Sir Lu Kui." Lord Mo nodded and said gently: "I want to hear your opinion."
"I brought that child back from Jeju Island because I saw his primitive ferocity when he first entered the world. In my opinion, domesticating wolves into dogs will bring a great sense of accomplishment. However, God seems to He didn’t favor me, and he even made a joke on me.”
"This matter is supposed to be my family matter, but it involves Mr. Ji Wu. I am extremely sorry, so I must get your opinion from Lord Mo."
"This is your family matter, I don't need to interfere." Lord Mo said with a smile, "If I have the opportunity to come to Shanghai again, I would like to drink another cup of tea from Lu Kuaishou."
In just a few words, he had completely stated his attitude. You could clearly see a more cordial smile on Lu Kuaishou's face. He rubbed his hands together in front of him with a sincere expression: "I'm looking forward to it. I wish you all the best."
"You too. Goodbye, Mr. Lu."
Communication terminated.
With two fingers pointed to the side, the communication bracelet was pulled by invisible force and re-placed on the rock ten meters away.
"Cangchuan, this is actually a good thing."
Master Mo's words made the young man a hundred meters away look confused for a moment, but then his doubts were quickly cleared up.
"Only when you have peace of mind can you be calm, and when you are calm can you be obedient, and only when you are obedient can you do things. I think to have peace of mind is to control your desires within an area that you can control. Lu Kuishou has already lost his temper."
"There are experts in Shangnan's military. It is not convenient for us to directly conflict with them at this stage. Ji Wu's death and Wei's rebellion can divert their attention, even though it may involve deeper information that we do not know. ...For example, all this is a carefully designed game...but the addition of Leader Lu will continue to focus the attention of the Yangtze River Basin. This provides us with a perfect cover."
"Cover?" Cangchuan chewed on this word, and his eyes suddenly froze after thinking for a moment, "Is this where you are..."
"I do have some progress, and I have some speculations about the deeper changes in the red mist. If my speculations are correct, you will become the promoters of changing the world."
Cangchuan's whole body trembled, and he bowed and said, "Please give me your orders."
"Recall all the core members of film clubs from all over the country. Shanghai can postpone it."
Lord Mo's voice was magnetic and always so gentle, but the power inadvertently revealed in his words always shocked people's hearts.
"yes!"
Lord Mo smiled and nodded, stretched out his arms, and his body slowly floated into the air like a cross, landing on the crystal diamond array again.
The black and white airflow reappeared, and the giant door was silent.
Cangchuan bowed his head respectfully and retreated, silently exiting this world.
…
…
In a [Sad Tea] shop on the commercial street next to Shangnan High School, Lu Ze smiled and pushed a card to the person opposite.
"You may think that what you have come into contact with is something you have never seen in your entire life, but this is actually just the shaking of the wheels before they start... Are you really ready?"
"I'm ready." Jin Chenghui took a sip of the cranberry smoothie in the cup, glanced at the card with a slightly unclear look, and finally looked at Lu Ze's level.
"What about death? It's still a simple cliché. Have you really thought about it?" Lu Ze let go of his hand and motioned to Jin Chenghui to pick up the card.
"Boss, I really thought about it. To tell you the truth, I stayed at home like a zombie for two days, but I suddenly remembered what you said to me in "The Second World" that day. Suddenly they dispersed."
Lu Ze's eyes were bright. He did not speak, but gave all his precious time to Jin Chenghui.
Because this is the moment when the young man in front of him completely melts away the last obsession in his heart and pours out his words.
Jin Chenghui grinned and continued his previous sentence:
"Man should not be afraid of death; what he should be afraid of is not living truly."
"I suddenly discovered that my destiny and blood have been firmly combined with the virtual network and are inseparable. This is what I love, and this is my life."
"Whoever comes to shake my life, I will take his life!"
When he said the last sentence, Jin Chenghui was already gritting his teeth.
"The personal world appears at the narrow intersection of life and death in the human world. In the lightless area, the widespread ignorance accumulates intoxicating power and the glory of unearned value. The ungerminated seeds of success are in the soil." Lu Ze said softly. A famous quote from Rabindranath Tagore stood up and patted Jin Chenghui on the shoulder, "I have only one request, never put yourself in danger, whether now or in the future."
"When there is a conflict between my life and your safety, you have to choose the latter."
After saying something that Jin Chenghui couldn't understand, Lu Ze didn't explain too much, turned around and walked away leisurely with his own osmanthus oolong tea.
"The card contains this month's salary. Since time passes slowly, we should treat the elderly more kindly."
With his back turned to Jin Chenghui and a wave of his hand, Lu Ze disappeared into the milk tea shop.
Lu Ze's last words touched the young man's heart.
Jin Chenghui took the card in a daze and stared at the card for a full minute before he suddenly came to his senses.
Do I still have a salary?
Is this my salary?
Carefully……
Jin Chenghui held the card and touched the bracelet.
drop--
[Balance: 200,000. 】
boom!
Jin Chenghui subconsciously squeezed the milk tea and collapsed in his seat.
Then his little heart was filled with sunshine, and with the joy of being rewarded for being kind to the world, he laughed and cried, and walked out of the milk tea shop with tears in the eyes of the two waiters who were confused.
This was a huge amount of money that he had never seen in his life.
Even huge sums of money that grandparents have never seen before.
Unexpectedly, when Jin Chenghui received the huge sum of money, he did not have the latest VR machine that he had been thinking about, nor the hardware configuration that he dreamed of.
His only idea now is to replace his grandparents' shabby wooden bed with a healthy and comfortable big bed, buy the best fishing rod for his grandfather, buy a long-awaited massage chair for his grandma, and then give it to the two elderly people. Sign up for a vacation group to Sunshine Island in the south.
It turns out that this is the deepest wish in Jin Chenghui's heart.
As they walked, the hopeless Jin Chenghui suddenly burst into tears and smiled, just like the happy expression he had when he ate popsicles for the first time when he was 6 years old.
It turns out that he has never forgotten his simplest ideal when he was young and has not been overwhelmed by life and destiny.
As the saying goes, if you never forget something, there will be a response.
This world is always kind to those who do not forget their original intentions and persist in their dreams.
…
…
Lu Ze was walking on the way to Shangnan High School and had an appointment to meet Liang Bo today.
He was in a rather happy mood, which was the joy of witnessing the many beauties of this world and the pure heart of a young man who kept gently pushing the trajectory of time to change with his fingertips.
In the classroom of Class 3 (Grade 3), the sun is still shining brightly.
It's just that the missing seat is more obvious.
The students unexpectedly discovered that although Yuan Hui, who was originally very angry, still made some mocking remarks about those who were not diligent from time to time, he did not mention them by name.
And lately it seems...
Never mentioned the word "Lu Ze" again?
Moreover, Liang Bo, a guy who was as good as Husky, had no idea how lucky he was to have a romantic relationship. Every now and then, he was approached by Wang Yun, the goddess from the next class.
Another time, they saw Miss Wang blocking Liang Bo halfway.
It’s so hidden!
