In the dark night, the tide was surging, the waves crashed on the rocks, and the foam sprayed out.
The lighthouse on the coast shone a bright light, slowly sweeping across the dark sea surface, vaguely illuminating the huge thing hidden in the fog, and reflected a huge, turtle-like reflection on the water.
The sound of machinery, the sharp sound of tight steel cables, and the sharp sound of the whistle were all mixed together.
This is a huge floating platform on the sea. It was built by deep space technology. It can be called a cross-generation product like an industrial work of art. It was specially designed to operate on the sea level. It is currently used for mining the ruins of Qilin Immortal Palace.
Lu Zijin sat by the fence of the open-air restaurant, looking at the rough sea, and said calmly: "Although the seal of Qilin Immortal Palace has not been officially lifted, the spiritual crystallization and extraordinary materials that have flowed out of the ruins over the past few thousand years can be regarded as a once-in-a-lifetime event." The harvest has been great, enough to cultivate many talented young people."
This young-looking woman, whose actual age is unknown, was holding a glass of strawberry juice and took a sip.
Then he narrowed his eyes, very satisfied.
Opposite the round table, there were two people sitting.
One of them was wearing a black and white coat, with dark gold threads embroidered on his chest, outlining the pattern of a cross. His hands were folded on the dining table. He wore a gold Rolex watch on his right hand and a black ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
He is probably about forty years old, with a serious and deep face and sparse hair on the top of his head.
"After this incident is over, Minister Lu may also have a chance to be promoted."
He said expressionlessly.
In the Ether Association, the positions of the thirteen branch heads are top priority, but their power is not great.
What the association's senior leaders value is their ability to stand alone.
So I won’t be given any right to participate.
"I'm sorry, Deacon Nie. I'm not interested in promotion. After all, even if I get promoted, I'll be joining your tribunal and dealing with all kinds of official duties every day. My hair will fall out."
Lu Zijin licked his pink lips and said, "The only thing I'm interested in is the Qilin Immortal Palace."
When Butler Nie heard the word hair, his eyelids twitched.
Lu Zijin snorted coldly.
Not long ago, the two of them had an argument about the boy named Gu.
Naturally, I won't look good when I meet him now.
At this time, the third person said calmly: "It is Qilin Immortal Palace after all, who doesn't yearn for it?"
This is a mixed-race man in a suit and leather tie. He is probably in his thirties. His short pale blond hair is meticulously combed back. He has handsome and plump facial features and a pair of gentle and deep eyes in his deep-set eye sockets.
When Deacon Nie looked at this man, there was a hint of respect in his tone: "The door to Qilin Immortal Palace may open at any time, but so many things have happened before that, I always feel that it is an ominous omen."
"This is an opportunity, but it also represents endless danger. Those newcomers who are awakened by Qilin Immortal Palace have absolutely no chance of coming into contact with the core of Qilin Immortal Palace. None of us know what is in the Immortal Palace."
He sighed: "Besides, I'm really afraid that the fallen organization will come to cause trouble."
The man smiled and said nothing.
"Because of the problems in the Immortal Palace recently, our Tribunal is also mentally and physically exhausted. Since the Blood Moon Massacre, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net and are still in the province, and have not been caught so far. Those major fallen organizations are still watching."
Deacon Nie said tactfully: "I think Fengcheng still needs a natural disaster to take charge."
The man smiled slightly: "Deacon Nie can rest assured that the master has arrived in Fengcheng three days ago."
Deacon Nie couldn't help but be overjoyed by such a light sentence: "Seriously?"
The man nodded.
"Now that he's here, we can rest easy."
Deacon Nie cleared his throat and asked, "Do you need me to bring someone to see you?"
The man waved his hand and replied, "He doesn't like to be disturbed."
Lu Zijin was drinking strawberry juice next to him, his moist and beautiful eyes full of disdain.
Most of the people who come out of the Tribunal are like this.
Be obedient to the strong, and strike hard at the weak.
However, this is understandable.
After all, the man in front of him was one of his students. If the Lu family came over, he would have to lick him.
Deacon Nie was actually just being polite. He knew that with his weight, he couldn't catch that person's attention.
"Then we won't bother you. But if you need anything, feel free to ask us."
He took out a tablet computer from his briefcase, handed it over and said, "Speaking of which, this is a group of new people trained by the Fengcheng branch and the Tribunal. I wonder if they can catch that person's eye?"
Lu Zijin couldn't help but cheer up.
Although the guys in the Inquisition are annoying, in this jurisdiction, the interests are aligned.
If there are new people
However, the man didn't even look at it. Although he still maintained a gentle smile, there was no doubt arrogance in his eyes: "No need, the master's standards for accepting disciples have always been very strict. If I remember correctly If so, there have always been very few priests in the Fengcheng branch, and if it hadn’t been for the arrival of Qilin Immortal Palace this time, I’m afraid there would have been even fewer.”
Deacon Nie did not give up and said with a smile: "After reaching the third level, there is still a chance to change professions. If there are really talented young people, with his methods, it will not be difficult to switch to the priest path."
He said with sincerity and sincerity: "These are very outstanding young people who I have carefully selected and have great potential. I can guarantee that they are the strongest group of this generation in Fengcheng District."
Lu Zijin couldn't deny this, because there was also a genius she had cultivated in it.
The people on the list, if nothing unexpected happens, will become the mainstay of this jurisdiction.
The man pondered for a second and then asked: "Is there anyone in this group who can surpass the challenge?"
At this time, Deacon Nie was stopped by the question. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there really wasn't.
"The one who just wants to challenge you beyond the next level?"
He asked tentatively: "This standard is really high."
"It's really difficult, and the master's request is that you can't use weapons."
The man said calmly: "Otherwise, my junior brother and I wouldn't have been the only ones chosen over the years."
"Leap level challenge..."
Deacon Nie’s eyes changed.
In the world of Ascendants, it is very difficult to challenge levels.
Because at every stage, there are new abilities.
The abilities you originally mastered will also change qualitatively.
The amount of spiritual accumulation also varies.
Far from it.
At this time, Lu Zijin frowned because she was thinking of someone.
Gu Jianlin!
I just don’t know if level 0 killing level 1 counts.
"It's such a pity, there seems to be no such person in our jurisdiction."
Deacon Nie shook his head, but smiled again: "But it's not happening now, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Just today, we just launched a hunting mission against clowns. I wonder if you are interested?"
The man narrowed his eyes: "Clown? It's interesting. Although that person is not of high rank, he is a very troublesome degenerate who has been selected by the master. At least at the same level, he is one of the best."
"Of course it's tricky, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to steal two precious mythical weapons!"
As soon as Butler Nie mentioned this matter, he gritted his teeth: "This guy has figured out the path of a magician thoroughly. He has a strong ability to predict danger. Once an ascendant who is far more powerful than him becomes hostile to him, He will flee immediately. There are also two unidentified mythical weapons, and even we don't know their specific functions."
"But for him to be able to escape for so long, one of the things must have a very strong concealment effect. Even if he walks past us at this moment, we may not be able to detect him."
He paused: "I even suspect that he may have advanced secretly, and as fallen ones, they also have the ability to deform, which makes them extremely difficult to deal with. But this time, he cannot escape with wings."
It's rare for a man to be curious: "Oh?"
Deacon Nie raised a finger: "We have arranged a bait, a bait that he can't resist!"
When Lu Zijin heard this, a hint of disgust flashed through his beautiful eyes again.
It turns out that this guy is not stupid, he is very thoughtful, but he is bad.
Even though he knew how dangerous the clown was, he still assigned this task to the child.
He even knew that the child had the ability to leapfrog challenges, but he didn't recommend him to anyone.
"Yeah?"
The man thought for a while: "That's quite interesting. In fact, I'm also curious about what those two mythical weapons are."
"We have deployed a large number of manpower to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Deacon Nie said sincerely: "I promise, this will be a wonderful hunt. Maybe in this mission, there will be a young man with extraordinary talents who can get his recognition?"
The man was silent for a second: "Okay, let's go and take a look."
Lu Zijin originally wanted to recommend the young man, but suddenly he stopped talking.
Because she knew very well what the character of the man in front of her and the person behind him was.
If he was recommended by her, he would most likely be labeled as a member of the Lu family or a related household.
That would make the other person unhappy.
Anyway, with Lu Zichen here, the child will not be in danger.
The rest is up to fate.

After the evening self-study ended, a huge flow of people poured down from the teaching building, mixed with noise.
"Hey, did you hear that Zhang Lei from the next class asked for leave?"
"It's so new to ask for leave. My mom agrees and I want to take it too."
"No, don't you all know? He asked for leave because he was crazy! It is said that when he was at home, his parents were beaten up, and then he was taken away by the police detective and seemed to be imprisoned in a mental hospital. "
"Damn it, I've heard about this before. I heard that there were people in Class 3 and Class 6 too, and they all went crazy with a whoop!"
Gu Jianlin walked downstairs expressionlessly, listening to the gossip.
After joining the Ether Association, he has become accustomed to this kind of thing. There are not many sublime talents in Fengcheng, but they are definitely not a handful. It is normal to find a few in a school.
According to the bylaws of the Ether Association, those people will receive a discharge application after undergoing mental recuperation.
Next, through training, you can complete the awakening with the help of the association and become an investigator.
Enter a new world from now on.
At this time, someone walked up to him quietly, chewing a piece of gum in his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "It's been a long time since I returned to campus life. I miss it so much. I have to say, there are a lot of beauties in your school."
Gu Jianlin took it for granted that Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School was the best school in the city, but in fact the school rules were not strict.
You fall in love, perm and dye your hair, put on makeup and wear skirts, basically no one cares.
As long as the grades are good.
Only those like Youzhu, who got extra points in the art test and were always at the bottom of the list, would be called parents.
"What on earth are you here for?"
Gu Jianlin couldn't help but said, "Is something going to happen?"
Lu Zicheng raised his eyebrows: "How did you know?"
Gu Jianlin looked around, his eyes flashing.
"one."
"Three."
"Seven."
"nine."
He mumbled something in his mouth and lowered his voice: "On just one floor, I saw nine people pretending to be students. If I'm not mistaken, they should all be from the association, right? Your people?"
Lu Zicheng was taken aback. He didn't know how this kid found out. He hurriedly said: "Shh, don't look at them. They belong to the association, but they are not my people, and they don't know that I am in this school. Don't treat them like that." They were alarmed.”
Gu Jianlin was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Lu Zicheng was silent for a moment: "Don't ask, just study hard. How far have you completed your spiritual accumulation?"
Gu Jianlin hesitated for a second: "Twenty-five percent."
Lu Zicheng frowned and commented: "Three bottles of reagents are all? The absorption efficiency is average. After this mission of hunting clowns is over, you should also be able to get a part of the merit. Then you can use the merit to exchange for some more Spiritual elixir.”
When Gu Jianlin heard this, he smelled something was wrong: "Clown? Are you going to hunt clowns?"
Lu Zicheng curled his lips: "Absolutely."
Gu Jianlin couldn't help but said: "Isn't that my mission?"
"I told you, something went wrong in deep space, and you can't kill the clown."
Lu Zicheng whispered: "You have also seen the clown's information. He is a first-level magician and is still a fallen person, but he is not the Li Changzhi you killed. Because he has mastered all the skills at this stage and can still maintain There are two mythical weapons, and we still don’t know the functions of those two mythical weapons. Can you defeat them?"
"Anyway, if you feel in danger, please notify me immediately. I will not leave school in the near future."
He patted the young man on the shoulder: "Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.
Gu Jianlin was silent for a long time, always feeling that something was not right.
He had indeed read the Joker's information.
It is said that he was one of the survivors of the Blood Moon Massacre and became a fallen person because of his father.
Just like that Li Changzhi.
In other words, that guy might come to take revenge on him.
He may even think that he has something left to him by his father.
Perhaps this is why Deep Space issued this mission to him.
Because Gu Jianlin doesn't have to look for a needle in a haystack all over the world to find someone, the other party will take the initiative to find him.
"But why is it said that something went wrong in deep space?"
Gu Jianlin didn't understand what he meant and walked out of the teaching building.
For the vast majority of male high school students, in addition to having good teachers, two other indicators are important.
One is whether there are many beauties.
One is whether the food in the canteen is delicious.
Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School is notoriously poor in terms of food in the city.
So every time after self-study in the evening, everyone would go to the snack street at the door to find food before the school was closed.
As for the canteen, dogs don’t even go there.
One time that impressed Gu Jianlin deeply was when he heard that the canteen rarely provided seafood, including hairy crabs.
He also went there that day and waited in a long line, but finally caught a small crab that was less than the size of a palm.
Just be small, it's better than nothing.
Until the chopsticks he stretched out were caught by the crab's pincers...
Just outrageous.
Gu Jianlin also planned to go to the snack street to buy some food, and take some for his cheap sister.
As a result, he saw a familiar figure curled up on the bench at the school gate.
His short hair is swaying, his shoulders are thin, and his back is lonely.
"What are you doing sitting here?"
Gu Jianlin leaned over and asked curiously.
"Um?"
Su Youzhu raised her head, revealing her pale, bloodless face.
Gu Jianlin understood when he saw her expression.
"Is your period coming?"
Su Youzhu had a pretty face and hummed.
"If you stay up late every day and have such a chaotic schedule, it will definitely hurt."
Gu Jianlin shook his head, took out a thermos cup from his bag and handed it to her: "Here, brown sugar water."
Su Youzhu was stunned: "Where did it come from?"
Gu Jianlin said: "Make it in advance at home."
Su Youzhu hesitated again: "For... me?"
Gu Jianlin hummed.
After all, the words he said last night almost made him spit out blood.
At that time, he made up his mind that he would find a way to regain his dignity as an older brother in the future and could no longer be cared for like a son.
Su Youzhu was shocked. She had not yet had her menstrual period at that time, but the brown sugar water had been prepared in advance.
Then there is only one possibility.
——This boy knows her cycle.
Gu Jianlin found that the girl was staring at him in an inexplicably weird way, with an unexplainable meaning.
"I see."
Su Youzhu was thoughtful, and then said expressionlessly: "Could it be that after using that thing, I felt that the experience of a real person would be better, so you decided to increase my favorability now?"
