"It's terrible."
Gu Jianlin put his hand on his forehead, sighed resignedly, and walked out of the lounge.
Su Youzhu was already sitting outside waiting for him. The girl probably left the house in a hurry. She had a simple bun and a few silly hairs sticking up on top of her head. She was wearing white short-sleeved upper body and pink pajamas on the lower body. .
A pair of pink piggy slippers, revealing delicate and small toes, painted with black nail polish.
She fiddled with her keys and mobile phone, and even with the facial mask on, she could tell that her face didn't look good.
When Gu Jianlin came out, the girl turned her head and met his eyes.
It was embarrassing, and he also knew that he looked ugly now, covered in blood and dust.
It looks pretty miserable.
Su Youzhu stared at him and said, "What day is today?"
Gu Jianlin didn't understand what it meant: "April 6th."
Su Youzhu said with a straight face: "I always feel like I have traveled to four months ago..."
It was still winter, and my mother suddenly received a call saying that her son had been in a car accident and was in critical condition. She was so frightened that she didn't even put on her shoes, so she rushed out, took a taxi and went straight to the hospital.
Su Youzhu and her father had no choice but to follow, and then saw the boy being sent to the operating room in the hospital.
The boy looked like this at that time, it was too miserable to look at.
I thought that after more than four months of raising her, I was finally ready.
Unexpectedly, it only took one morning to end up in such a miserable state again.
Gu Jianlin didn't know how to defend himself. Although this girl was nominally his sister, she somehow gave him the feeling of having a second mother, especially when facing that cold face.
"There was an accident."
He could only explain it bluntly.
Su Youzhu's eyes grew colder: "Accident?"
She said to herself that you look like you just came out of the trenches.
Gu Jianlin emphasized: "It's really an accident."
At this time, an agent in charge of recording files passed by and came to help explain the cause and effect.
It has to be said that what Lu Zicheng said is indeed true. The detectives at the Donghai Road Police Station were all hypnotized after taking the tea. Regarding the accident under the viaduct, they investigated a very outrageous case. result.
In their understanding, this was a deliberate revenge incident by the suspect's associates.
He drove a family member of a public employee hostage in an attempt to inflict harm, but lost control and overturned the car during the struggle.
Finally, he was rescued by two Interpol police officers.
Very reasonable.
Completely free of any supernatural elements.
Because Professor Gu solved the case, the criminal's associates had a grudge and came to take revenge on the family.
After Su Youzhu listened quietly for a moment, he said, "Thank you, I understand."
She turned to look at the boy again: "Does the wound still hurt?"
Gu Jianlin shook his head: "Fortunately, it has been bandaged and I don't feel anything."
The Ether Association's trauma medicine is very useful. Let's not talk about whether it recovers so quickly. At least it has an analgesic effect immediately after applying it, which is much more effective than ordinary anesthetics.
"Next time you'd better ask me to accompany you."
There was no emotion or anger on Su Youzhu's face. She picked up her phone and stood up, saying calmly: "Is there anything else to do? I'll go outside and call a taxi first. If I need anything, I'll talk about it when I get home."
Gu Jianlin looked at her back and was glad that he didn't call her with him today.
Otherwise, this innocent girl will be involved.
However, hearing the word go home stimulated him again.
He didn't know whether he should go back to his new home.
It was a house that my mother and Uncle Su spent all their money to buy. They were two people who had experienced a broken marriage and rebuilt a family. Although they were not young people, they lived happily and had two beautiful daughters.
Gu Jianlin always felt that that home did not belong to him.
Just staying temporarily is already very reluctant, and we must not cause any more trouble to them.
The most irritating thing is that now there are degenerates who can come to him!
God knows what will happen next.
At this time, Lu Zicheng walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said slowly: "Don't worry, as long as you become a member of the Ether Association, the safety of your family will naturally be guaranteed. Under the protection net of deep space , we have already caught people like Li Changzhi before they even get within five kilometers of your home."
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a second: "Deep space?"
"Well, this new technology was excavated from an ancient tomb in Egypt fifteen years ago. Have you heard of the "Jade Record"? In the field of alchemy, this world is composed of the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, and the fifth It is composed of the element ether. Ether represents the human spirit and consciousness, and we apply it in the field of supercomputers."
Lu Zicheng introduced: "When you become a member of the Ether Association, you will gain access to the Deep Web. The Deep Web will also use space satellites to closely monitor the ten-kilometer radius of your home. It has an independent The algorithm will automatically identify the permanent population, floating people, migrant population, etc. within this area."
"Then the identities of these people are automatically marked, each person's profile is retrieved, and their risk level is analyzed based on many factors such as gender, personality, age, occupation, and past experience."
He spread his hands: "Does it sound safe?"
Gu Jianlin had to agree: "Is this drawing a cake?"
"Roughly the same."
However, Lu Zicheng's next sentence shocked him: "Of course, this is of no use. If there is a sublimate who really wants to mess with you, then he has many ways to get out of the deep web."
Gu Jianlin: "..."
The cake drawing is good, don’t draw it again next time.
"Although monitoring in deep space is strict, it is not omnipotent."
Lu Zicheng smiled and said, "However, we will send the corresponding people to protect your family."
Gu Jianlin understood: "Are they all sublimators?"
"Almost. In short, joining the Ether Association is better than being a wild sublimator outside. First of all, even if you are an independent sublimator and can obtain the inheritance path independently, what about your subsequent advancement? What is needed for the sublimator to advance? What about resources? Without an official identity, anything you do is dangerous."
Lu Zicheng shrugged: "How should you protect your family?"
He raised a finger and pointed at the slim figure outside the police station door.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "Okay, I'll join."
Lu Zicheng's smile grew stronger and he said: "That's right. Will I still harm you? I was your father's proud student back then. It's my turn to lead you this time. It can be regarded as a kind of inheritance." Well!"
Gu Jianlin's heart moved: "Are you familiar with my father? What kind of person is he?"
Lu Zicheng was stunned: "Well, that's right. As for what kind of person your father is, don't you know?"
Gu Jianlin smiled silently: "Actually, I don't think I understand him."
Lu Zicheng glanced at him and said with deep meaning: "Don't think so. No matter whether your father is an ascendant or a police profiler, he is still your father, isn't he? He may have someone else. One side, but what he shows in front of you is also his true self. There is not as much separation between extraordinary people and ordinary people as you think."
Gu Jianlin savored these words carefully and fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Inspector Zhou finished the meeting in the office. After seeing him, he said: "Xiao Gu, how do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital to check again? Damn it, these grandchildren! Don't worry, give me half Within a few months, I will arrest all these bastards and make them spend the rest of their lives in jail to repent!"
When he said this, his expression was angry, his tone was stern, and his mood was agitated.
Gu Jianlin was a little confused when he saw him like this for the first time.
In the past, Inspector Zhou always looked tired with dark circles and red eyes.
But now he was extremely excited, like a bull with nowhere to vent.
"In addition to hypnosis, the Confused Heart Tea also has a very good effect on rejuvenating the mind. I thought Inspector Zhou was a little weak, so I asked Chen Qing to add a little more to his coffee. As a result, he is a little excited now."
Lu Zicheng said in a low voice from behind.
Gu Jianlin suddenly realized that this tea seemed to be quite effective.
At least Inspector Zhou is now in high spirits, his eyes are shining brightly, and he is not even a little tired.
"If you're injured like this, there's no need to take notes or anything else. Go sign your dad's case report and go home and have a good rest. Don't worry, little Gu, Uncle Zhou will arrange special detectives for your community to protect you around the clock. His safety. Damn it, if you dare to disturb Tai Sui, these grandsons really don’t take their grandfather seriously!"
Inspector Zhou put his hands on his hips and looked majestic.

At half past two in the afternoon, Gu Jianlin returned home again.
I took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and slumped on the sofa, looking exhausted.
He was indeed very tired. The sudden incidents one after another in the past few days kept him in a state of high vigilance. In the end, he fought desperately to kill an out-of-control degenerate on the viaduct.
What a thrill.
Until then, let alone shooting or driving into people.
The only thing he ever killed was mosquitoes.
But he had to admit that he was indeed very talented in this area, and he was also fierce and ruthless enough.
A normal minor would probably be scared to death on the spot.
However, when Gu Jianlin recalled the scene again, he only had one thought in his mind.
I should have been more ruthless in the beginning.
He didn't know what was going on, as if he was affected by the black unicorn in his mind.
Hunger and anger, these two strong feelings, eroded him all the time.
The rich aroma from the kitchen wafted out, and the sound of grease splashing was crackling and crisp.
Su Youzhu is making lunch.
The girl hadn't spoken much since she got into the car and went home, and she had only said three words to him so far.
"have a good rest."
"Are you hungry?"
"I went to cook."
Gu Jianlin felt inexplicably guilty because of her, feeling like he was being taken away by his mother after being naughty in school when he was a child.
Uneasy, afraid of being scolded.
Gu Jianlin shook his head, dismissed all unrealistic thoughts, and then took out his cell phone.
Add one more friend to your WeChat contacts.
Lu Zicheng.
According to Lu Zicheng, the information about him will be uploaded to deep space today. After being evaluated by the supercomputer, he will obtain formal authority and will receive special assessment and training as an investigator of the Ethereum Association.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he must obtain his own inheritance path tonight.
But so far, no one has told him what to do.
Lu Zicheng just pretended to be mysterious and said that for those who are truly gifted, after experiencing extraordinary events, their chaotic cognition will open up on their own, and when they look at the world again, they will never be able to return to the perspective of ordinary people. .
No one knew what he meant, and he didn't explain it at all. He just said that he would find out when it gets dark.
Gu Jianlin didn't know what would happen when it got dark.
But whatever it is for dad.
Or for myself.
Or this new home.
There was no turning back for him.
·

The black BMW was galloping under the dim sunshine, and pop music was playing in the car.
Lu Zicheng was holding a cigarette in his mouth, with a green parrot standing on his shoulder, looking at the car with an expressionless expression.
"Master."
Chen Qing suddenly said: "Do you really want that child to join the Ether Association?"
Lu Zicheng hummed: "What else?"
Chen Qing reminded: "That's Professor Gu's son. You know what he will face after joining the Ether Association."
Lu Zicheng stared at the turbulent traffic ahead and said: "It is because he is Professor Gu's son that he must join the Ether Association. As you can see, he has awakened, should we just let him fend for himself? Even if I I am willing to protect him for the rest of my life, but my strength is limited and I may be killed at any time. What will happen to this child then?"
Chen Qing hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Can he bear it?"
"As Professor Gu's son, you must be able to bear it."
Lu Zicheng said lightly: "And I have seen his eyes. They are like those of a lone wolf. It is better to say that he was born for the extraordinary world. Seventeen years of ordinary life is too much for him." It’s a waste of talent.”
Chen Qing could not refute that a person who could kill the fallen without awakening was indeed an undoubted genius.
"I'm curious as to which inheritance path he will eventually awaken after observing the Qilin Immortal Palace tonight."
Lu Zicheng said suddenly.
Chen Qing said calmly: "According to the spiritual characteristics contained in Qilin Immortal Palace, there are only four kinds at most. Ancient martial arts, heavenly master, priest, and overlord. If you are talented, you can probably perceive two inheritance paths at once. Then it depends on what he chooses."
