As night falls, there is a building with a holographic starry sky in the neon-lit neighborhood.
It is close to the coastline. When tourists on the beach raise their heads, they can see the surging starry sky projection like a tidal wave. The screen of the building changes with technological lights, making it a creative landscape.
——Deep space technology.
Of course, in the extraordinary world, people tend not to think of this as just a technology company.
Because behind it is the world's largest sublimator organization, the Ether Association.
The elevator went straight to the top floor, and Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing walked out of it.
Dozens of cameras in the corridor were focused on them, like eyes, watching them.
At the same time, a humane male voice sounded.
"A-level investigator, Lu Zicheng."
"B-level investigator, Chen Qing."
"Welcome back to the Fengcheng branch. I have prepared iced latte and herbal tea according to your respective preferences."
Lu Zicheng nodded slightly and walked into the hall with the young and beautiful female assistant.
Researchers in white coats were walking back and forth with files under their arms, and when they saw them, they bowed slightly to greet them.
There are huge holographic screens in all directions in this conference hall. The flow of information from major cities in the coastal areas rushes through like a tidal wave. Countless red dots are marked on the map, flashing with dazzling lights.
"A mentally infected person was found in Building 231, Jiqing Street, Shibei District, Fengcheng City!"
"In Huaiyang District, Linhai City, a vicious injury accident occurred by a fallen person. Please send investigators for support!"
"The excavation project of the Qilin Immortal Palace ruins will start at ten o'clock tonight. All departments are advised to prepare in advance."
Lu Zicheng is used to this. The Ether Association has thirteen branches in the country, and tens of thousands of investigators are distributed across the country to deal with various emergencies.
The top management always tries to make things difficult for everyone, and everyone must maintain world peace for the sake of human progress.
With greater ability comes greater responsibility. Since you are already extraordinary, you must shoulder your mission.
You are all heroes in human history!
However, in fact, after joining the Ether Association for a period of time, most sublimates will find that they have just changed their work place. Not only are their lives in danger at any time, but they have also changed from 996 to 007.
The cute little robot slid over, carrying iced latte and herbal tea.
Lu Zicheng took the latte, handed the herbal tea to the female assistant beside him, and walked straight to the end of the conference hall.
After a while, he took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
"Master, isn't it good to smoke when you go to see that person?"
Chen Qing asked in a low voice.
Lu Zicheng said disdainfully: "Am I still afraid of her?"
There is a log desk in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, which is filled with miscellaneous documents. There is also a holographic projector in front of it, which projects a map structure of the entire Fengcheng coastline. It is high-end and advanced.
"Minister, this is the list of newcomers in the past two months."
A young female secretary reported the report respectfully.
Snapped!
The list was thrown on the table.
"Is this the case for this year's newcomers? I'm very dissatisfied!"
Behind the desk, someone stood on a chair with his hands on his waist and was angry.
This is a girl who looks to be only twelve years old at most. She is wearing an exquisite Lolita little black dress, black knee-length socks wrapped around her slender calves, and black round-toe shoes. She is petite and cute.
Her face is delicate and cute, with her well-behaved twin tails, like an exquisite doll.
But unexpectedly, it was a Yu Jieyin.
The female secretary said tremblingly: "Minister Lu, the quality of this batch of newcomers is very good."
Minister Lu was condescending, crossed his arms, and said coldly: "What's good about it? There isn't even a handsome guy among one hundred and thirty-seven people. You tell me this is good?"
Female secretary: "..."
Lu Zicheng was drinking an iced latte and walking over with a freshly lit cigarette, when he overheard this conversation.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he said hello: "Sister, I'm back."
Minister Lu turned to look at him and suddenly glared at him.
The cigarette held by Lu Zicheng's right hand instantly accelerated and turned into ashes.
"How dare you let me smoke your second-hand smoke?"
Minister Lu shouted sweetly: "If you dare to smoke in front of me again, I will kick you off the 70th floor!"
Lu Zicheng's expression froze. He didn't expect that this woman seemed to be getting stronger again after not seeing her for a long time.
"Okay, onee-sama."
If it had been anyone else, he would have had a seizure.
But the woman in front of her is so capable. As one of the thirteen branch chiefs in the country, she is also specialized in combat and possesses strategic-level strength. Most people really can't make a few moves in front of her.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and he will find an opportunity to settle accounts with her in the future.
At this time, the green-haired parrot rolled its eyes on his shoulder: "You old woman who is pretending to be young, I will deal with you sooner or later!"
Lu Zicheng: "..."
For a moment, the huge conference room fell into deathly silence.
The green parrot suddenly flapped its wings and flew away.
Chen Qing, with quick eyes and quick legs, hurriedly followed behind, her high heels making a clicking sound.
Behind the desk, Minister Lu raised his black and white eyes, which were as terrifying as a ghost.
"This parrot is so treasonous!"
Lu Zicheng immediately said: "Sister, wait a moment, I will catch it immediately, pluck its hair and make soup."
However, Minister Lu's light words made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave.
"return."
Lu Zichen's body froze.
"Although this parrot is an extraordinary creature, it cannot read minds. For it to say these words, someone must have repeated them repeatedly in front of it before it could remember and learn these words."
Minister Lu's voice was cold: "Then, who taught him?"
"Yes, who taught it? It should be Chen Qing, right? It's not me anyway."
Lu Zicheng hurriedly changed the topic and said with a smile: "Sister, did you receive my WeChat message just now?"
Minister Lu crossed his arms, looked at him coldly, and crossed his fingers.
Lu Zicheng's whole body went stiff, and he saw a lighter and a cigarette case, together with his wallet, floating out of his pocket.
Snapped.
With a snap of the fingers, everything turned into ashes.
Lu Zicheng's heart was bleeding, his Hua Zi.
"I will ask Taixu to freeze your bank card and mobile payment later. Don't even think about smoking within this month."
Minister Lu said calmly: "I saw the WeChat message. Is it the child of the Gu family? How do I remember? Didn't all the ascendants of the Gu family die because of the curse? Why is there still one?"
Lu Zicheng hesitated: "He is Professor Gu's son."
"Huh? Does Gu Cian have a son?"
Minister Lu tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's too troublesome, don't do it."
Lu Zicheng frowned: "No?"
"You know what Gu Cian has done. Even if you have the qualifications of a sublimator, this special status requires the vote of the thirteen branch heads in the country before it can be approved."
Minister Lu waved his hand: "That would be too much trouble. You can get out and don't bother me looking for a boyfriend..."
The silence lasted for a moment, and Lu Zicheng did not move. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Zijin!"
Lu Zijin glanced at him sideways: "Huh?"
Lu Zicheng stared into her eyes and said word by word, "That's an autonomous sublimator."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Lu Zijin was a little surprised. He touched his chin and thought about it for a moment: "No, then."
Lu Zicheng: "..."
"Okay, get out of here and don't get in your way."
Lu Zijin yawned lazily, like a Persian cat: "If I want to make an exception and let him join the Ether Association, do you know how many more reports I have to write for this? I have to deal with my senior brother, which is annoying to death. "
After saying that, she jumped down from the chair and prepared to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Zicheng said in a hurry: "Sister, that boy is very good-looking."
With a snap, Lu Zijin's footsteps stopped.
Seeing this, Lu Zi continued: "Better looking than his father."
Lu Zijin turned his head silently.
"I don't smoke or drink, and I don't have any bad habits."
Lu Zicheng went directly to the computer behind his desk and tapped the keyboard twice.
On the holographic projection screen, a boy wearing a blue and white striped school uniform was reflected.
She has short black hair, delicate and clean eyebrows, a face with clear lines like a sculpture, and a tall and slender figure.
Especially those eyes, as clear and transparent as lakes, filled with a trace of clouds and mist.
"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Lu Zijin looked at the young man carefully, his delicate and fair cheeks flushed slightly.
His hands, painted with red nail polish, covered his slightly hot face.
She suddenly woke up and said seriously: "Well, have I actually told you that I prefer writing reports to fighting? Well, I haven't communicated with my senior brother for a long time. I'll give him a call later. .”

At nine-thirty in the evening, Gu Jianlin was at home clearing the dishes on the dining table.
There were about seven or eight plates, not to mention a grain of rice on them, not even a drop of oil left.
After returning from Qilin Immortal Palace, his physical condition became a bit strange, and he was always tortured by weakness and hunger.
Weak actually said that as long as you rest well, it won't be very uncomfortable.
That kind of hunger is the most deadly, it tortures him all the time, but it still can't be solved.
No matter how much he overeats, the black unicorn in his mind is still extremely hungry.
I have to say that Su Youzhu is really a careful and good girl. After seeing that his appetite increased greatly, she specially cooked a few more dishes for him, and then watched him eat them all, and she was completely stunned.
He even asked him thoughtfully if he wanted to eat more.
Gu Jianlin thought that this hunger could not be solved anyway, so he simply stopped bothering her.
Mom and Uncle Su won't be back until tomorrow night.
There were warm lights on in the house, and there were only two siblings.
At this moment, Su Youzhu was playing with cosmetics in the room and had a phone call with her sister.
"Youzhu, my parents are not at home recently. How does it feel to live in a world with him?"
The smiling Yu Jie's voice was deliberately teasing.
Su Youzhu's calm voice came from the crack in the door: "It's okay. He's very polite and clean. He also helps me with my homework. It's just that he's a bit too outsider. Recently, he has been doing odd jobs for me. The family subsidizes living expenses.”
"Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. Of course I know that he is well-behaved, polite and good-looking. I'm asking you about your feelings when you get along with him. After all, you are both the same age. Do you have any different feelings?"
My sister's voice rang from the phone again.
This time, Su Youzhu pondered for three seconds: "Well, old age brings a son?"
puff.
Gu Jianlin almost lost his temper. He never expected such an answer.
To be honest, it's a bit hurtful.
Even if the sisters hate him as an outsider, it's okay.
What is Laolai Dezi!
He didn't want to continue listening. After washing the dishes, he was ready to go back to the room.
As a result, there were still whispers coming from the bedroom next door.
"What does it mean to be old and have a son? How old are you?"
"That's what it's like to have an unwanted pregnancy as a teenager."
"Is that an exaggeration?"
"Thanks to him, I feel like I became a mother early."
Gu Jianlin closed the door silently, blocking out the sisters' voices.
The temperature in Fengcheng has changed greatly, and it's only the beginning of April and there is a hint of summer.
The sea breeze came in from the window, bringing with it a slightly damp and salty feeling.
Gu Jianlin stood by the window, silently looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, and suddenly froze.
Because the dark sea water suddenly glowed with a scarlet light.
As thick as blood.
He suddenly looked up and saw that the moon in the sky turned into a huge blood moon!
The dark night was illuminated by the blood moon, and the previous depth was replaced by endless light. Countless dark spheres were suspended above the sky. They were so huge, like backlit planets.
Light wheels emitting strange light surround these planets.
You can vaguely see broken buildings that are withering away and dusty, suspended between these new balls.
It seems to be destroying, as if collapsing.
It seems like... it's collapsing!
And above the dark sea, closest to the sky, there was a huge black shadow.
No, that's not a shadow.
It was an island hanging upside down, suspended in the sky.
Under the red moonlight and in the dark night, it is so majestic and majestic, surrounded by clouds and mist.
As if it shouldn't exist in this world.
Gu Jianlin just glanced at it, and there was a huge roar in his mind.
Because he felt that this island seemed familiar!
The appearance of this island resembles a sleeping unicorn!
For a moment, Gu Jianlin's mind was completely shocked, and he fell asleep as if fascinated.
·
·
I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a century had passed, and it seemed like just a moment had passed.
Gu Jianlin woke up again, his expression suddenly alert.
This time, he stood in the endless darkness, with countless majestic sculptures in front of him.
There seemed to be whispers in my ears, like the drums of a storm, or like the voices of ghosts.
It seemed to be tempting him to make a certain choice.
Those ancient sculptures have different images, they are as majestic, mysterious and majestic as gods.
Some were burly warriors wearing pitch black armor.
There were also archers on horseback with huge bows tied to their backs.
Others are Taoist priests holding fly whisks and stepping on the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.
The last one stood proudly on the altar, like a sacrifice singing a silent hymn.
In addition to these four largest sculptures, there are countless broken sculptures below.
Some are magicians, some are witches, some are paladins, and so on.
"Ancient martial arts, overlord, heavenly master, sacrifice..."
Gu Jianlin stared at the four sculptures, with vague murmurs echoing in his ears, and he actually understood the corresponding names on his own initiative.
Four ways of inheritance.
As for the broken sculptures below, they are all inherited from the West.
"How to choose?"
Gu Jianlin walked in the darkness and passed by these majestic sculptures, feeling an unprecedented sense of awe.
The next moment, the black unicorn in his mind suddenly moved.
"Roar!"
The black unicorn let out a faint roar and turned to look at the last of the four huge sculptures.
It was a mysterious black figure standing proudly on the altar, silently singing hymns.
priest!
