Maoyan had a dream.
She dreamed that she was crawling on a large network of densely woven metal chains. This large network was endless, extending deep into the void, with no edge visible.
She didn't know the direction in which she was crawling. She only knew that the center of the big net was a blazing sun, emitting astonishing light and heat all the time.
The terrifying heat was transmitted through the long metal chain, burning her hands and feet. If it wasn't enough, it burned all the way into her skin, flesh and bones, mixing the semi-melted metal droplets with her body fluids, causing her to melt too. To be part of this endless web.
She struggled in fear, but couldn't resist the momentum of integration.
But at the same time, waves of vigorous power rushed in, pushing her conscious thoughts to expand and expand, giving her an unprecedented sense of fulfillment and control.
Then, Maoyan remembered in a trance who the squeezed energy came from. This kind of forced giving and the complete loss of resistance made her inevitably have some subtle associations.
It's like a gunpowder twister. After the sparks, the accumulated and compressed gunpowder explodes with a "bang". Different from those forces that squeeze from the outside in, this comes from Maoyan's own impulse. What explodes is not a devastating shock wave but a poisonous fire that quickly starts a prairie fire, burning through every corner of her inside and outside.
Maoyan hissed and suddenly woke up. Only then did he realize that the inside and outside of his home were soaked with body fluids. The poisonous fire that burned his body turned into a sticky body feeling that was indistinguishable from warm to cool. It was really terrible.
She looked at her watch. It was now three o'clock in the morning, only two hours before she went to bed.
Maoyan sighed, stretched out his hand to scratch his scalp, and the long hair that was already soaked in sweat was messed up even more. There was no way she could sleep any more tonight, so she simply went to take a bath to refresh herself.
While taking a bath, Maoyan activated his six ears and prepared to read some messages to relieve his boredom. However, as soon as I opened it, the "swish" information prompt sound was like the sharp arrows of locusts all over the sky, which made people feel like thousands of arrows were piercing their hearts.
The intelligent system of Lingbo.com very considerately picked out the common keywords in most of the information for her and classified them accordingly:
"Ah, there's a bug in the fortress, Boss Luo, help me!"
"Boss Luo, hurry up!"
"Boss Tuoluo's bracelet keeps you safe, tearing off Gao Tianshi's sticker is worth your life."
"Boss Luo disappeared again. Where are all the project team members?"
"The first one to be trapped is the project team."
"( ̄△ ̄;)"
Because of the fortress project in Yuan District, I experienced the heat of summer in advance at night in Xia City in late spring. Hundreds of people were in a mess, which alarmed senior B-level experts such as Gao Meng and Mr. Bai. They tossed back and forth, and in the end, The core characters disappeared without a trace in the night.
The first time something like this happens is scary, the second time is painful, the third time is frustrating, the fourth, fifth, sixth... or even countless times, it's complete numbness.
Maoyan entered the friend group established by Ronan, and it clearly showed that the group owner was not in the service area. However, most of the other group members were still awake. Bamboo pole, who is currently trapped in the fortress, reluctantly conveys the message and speaks out, full of resentment:
"Boss Luo ran away again, what do you security personnel do for food?"
"Haha, do I need to emphasize it again? We are living as sparring partners now." Qin Yikun, who has resigned as a personal bodyguard, is like a wandering ghost.
Xue Lei, who has always had a stable schedule, was woken up and provided outdated information: "In the afternoon, he went to the nursing home to see Grandpa Luo and the owner, and he also practiced Sanshou with me..."
"You didn't break his leg?"
Xue Lei felt so wronged: "What he is best at now is speed and field control. The photoelectric legs and the illusory magnetic field are simply amazing!"
"What a bad name!"
"It's not me, Brother Paper-cut..."
Seeing that the topic was about to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Zhugan, who had always been calm, became really angry: "I'm almost exhausted. Is this the time to discuss shitty names? What's next? Where did he go next? ?”
"Ask Brother Honghu, Nanzi trained with Brother Hongfox."
"Well, you and I were learning urban tracking and anti-tracking skills. We walked to the orphanage in the Forest Wall area and practiced on the way, and then I went back."
"Dean Wan? Oh, he is not in the group. Where is the eldest disciple of Dean Wan? Xiao Xie?"
"No need to ask, Ronan spent the night at Gear last night. This happened every day during this period, and Ruiwen even went to deliver food." Maoyan found an opportunity to cut in and provided the most valuable information.
However, this is tantamount to selling Ronan away.
Zhang Yingying made an angry expression: "Then why can't I find it every time?"
"hehe……"
Because he then jumped thousands of kilometers away and was very willful.
Zhang Yingying couldn't get a satisfactory answer from Maoyan, so she turned around and fired at Red Fox: "Thank you for calling me a fox. He's a homebody who doesn't go out and doesn't know how to learn skills from you. For what reason, you don't know." Do you want to do some math?"
The red fox looked back with a contemptuous expression.
"It's more important to think about Boss Luo's whereabouts."
He cut paper to act as a peacemaker and tried to bring the topic back, but as he spoke, he also got a little off topic: "Now that I'm talking about it, I'm curious. Boss Luo has nothing to do with 'otaku' during this period, right?" ?What happened to him? Was he taken away?"
Maoyan sneered and replied: "Puberty has arrived, and hormones are secreted in excess."
"He's already 17, sis."
"Endocrine disorder."
"...Okay, no matter what stage Boss Luo is in his development, where is he now? Hundreds of people are waiting for him to rescue him."
Things reluctantly came back to where they started.
In the early morning of April 22, 2097, the "tracking" operation against Ronan, the chief consultant of the Fortress project team, ended in vain. All parties failed to find Ronan in the end, but the project team and several strong people in Xia Cheng who already had some ideas about the configuration worked together to finally solve the problem. There is no need to mention the misery.
Maoyan looked at the development of the situation with a cold eye, without any fluctuation in his heart. After all, in the past few months, too many people have been embarrassed because of Ronan's willfulness...especially those who desperately hope to gain strength from Ronan and the "sun" behind Ronan. .
Well, maybe Ronan himself?
Thinking of this, Maoyan finally got the pleasure of rebalancing.
Ti City is four hours earlier than Xia City time, and it is already early morning. Since it is in the southern hemisphere, it is autumn and winter, and the seaside is also cold and cold. There are few tourists near a rocky beach on the seaside.
Yin Le stood on a rare piece of flat ground here, facing the sea, feeling the strong sea breeze blowing in front of her. However, she felt that she was standing in front of a blast furnace where steel was being smelted. With high temperature and flames.
Common sense and reality, simple physical senses and complex advanced senses are intertwined with each other, alienating her perception little by little, allowing her to gradually get used to this special environment until she becomes accustomed to it.
She closed her eyes, and in front of her eyes was the burning Blood Soul Temple.
The solidified structure of the abyss seemed to be very close to her, ready to burn off her eyebrows and damage her face at any time. Every lava stream flowing on it contains "high temperature" energy that is ten times higher than before.
There is no real warmth in the Blood Soul Temple in the Yuan District. What is gathered together is the extremely paranoid emotions and thoughts of the believers. After being transported and transformed step by step, it becomes the "medicine primer" that mobilizes the infinite energy of the Yuan District.
But after this period of "debugging", after these emotions merged into the Stone Forest Magma Lake for transportation and turnover, they were also given direct damage that burned the soul and body, forcing them, the higher-ups of the religious sect, to call the relevant "medicine guide" "You should be very careful when doing this, otherwise you may be counterattacked.
Of course, once the call is successful, the impact of the storm in the abyss area will also increase explosively. In the past four months after New Year's Day, the Blood Flame Order recovered from its initial decline and quickly established a foothold in Ti City, mostly due to this. Because of this, Jiang Yuanzhen and other sect elders and senior leaders endured this complex and difficult change together in surprises and entanglements.
It was Ronan who did all this.
Mrs. Halder never told anyone else about her cooperation with Ronan except her personal secretary. Jiang Yuanzhen and others only knew that Mrs. Halder had found a professional "consultant" or "investor". As for who it was, everyone had their own guess. It didn't matter whether they had guessed the correct answer.
Matters concerning the Blood Flame Order are left to Mrs. Halder, who has become more and more arbitrary after the death of Elder Morun. Even without Mrs. Halder's opinion, the business that has flourished in Ticheng over the past four months, as well as the more essential sixteen devout believers and fanatics who have awakened continuously, have the persuasive power to smooth everything over.
Every time Yin Le thinks about this series of changes, and then thinks about the young man who created miracles single-handedly, and thinks about his superb and unpredictable methods, his heart becomes heavy. It wasn't a good feeling, but just like her alienated perception, after a long time, all she got were gains and benefits, which inevitably blurred her feelings.
It's like being strangled by someone's neck, experiencing the pleasure of being suffocated...
When his thoughts and emotions turned to this point, Yin Le suddenly felt lost. He took a deep breath and could not distinguish the hot or cold sea breeze. At this time, on the sea in the distance, among the undulating waves, it seemed that there was a hot flow of magma from the bottom of the sea. A large area of seawater suddenly boiled, and the bubbles bulged and burst, one after another, and there were even more gurgling sounds coming straight from there. .
Seeing this strange situation, Yin Le quickly gathered his thoughts, picked up the special fireproof scarf that had been prepared nearby, and stepped forward to meet him.
The waves on the sea surface are pushing towards the shore one after another, and the boiling area is also approaching, leaving special vortex traces on the sea surface.
The light on the sea in the early morning is still not very clear, and the bottom of the sea cannot be seen by sight alone. However, in the near-shore waters, Yin Le's mental perception, which has improved greatly during this period, can already touch the place that is more intense than the boiling sea water. Extreme restless emotions that are a thousand times hotter,
Extending this to the reality level, she could feel the woman struggling painfully in the deep water area.
