Gu Bei roughly sorted out the image of the mysterious man through the middle-aged man's description.
He is about 1.75 meters tall, about the same age as Chu Tianjiao, has an ordinary appearance, nothing special, and is a bit fat. He is wearing an off-brand black suit bought from the west of the city. There is a white flower in the breast pocket of the suit.
Other than that, there are no other memory points.
But these are enough.
A fat middle-aged man who is 1.75 meters tall and has an average appearance.
This is not a characteristic. There are not even 100,000 but 80,000 similar men in Huicheng.
The key point is these last few sentences.
Wearing a black suit means that the other person attaches great importance to Chu Tianjiao, and wearing a white flower on his chest means that this person thinks that Chu Tianjiao is dead and regards this visit as a memorial.
The suit was from a different brand, indicating that the man's financial situation was somewhat tight and he couldn't afford brand-name goods. The place where he bought the suit was a discount store in the west of the city, which should be the area where this man frequented.
At the same time, this person also had a relationship with Gu Bei.
Not familiar with it, but at least it left an impression on Gu Bei.
Although there are still many people who meet the conditions, the scope is small enough, and you can definitely find this person as long as you check one by one.
"Oh, and more, that person should know Lao Chu and know that Lao Chu lives here." The middle-aged man chewed the braised large intestine in his mouth, and then took a sip of the warm wine.
The warm wine dispelled the chill all over my body.
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Just now, Gu Bei received a call from Eli Yi. The group who went shopping had already returned home. Su Xiaoyan also asked him what he and Chu Zihang were doing and when they were going back.
Gu Bei dealt with it for a few words, and then told Hui Liyi to keep an eye on Su Xiaoyan and not let her eat cold food for dinner.
Su Xiaoyan has a special constitution and is prone to cold. Especially in this weather, she will be in excruciating pain whenever she catches the cold. In the end, she still has to torment Aunt Tong and Chu Zihang.
Gu Bei hung up the phone and turned to look at the silver-covered world outside the window.
This heavy snow should last for two days, after all, the elemental turbulence is not easy to dissipate.
It has been a good situation for two days. Lu Mingze should have restrained his strength when activating the elements, otherwise the heavy snow would last until the Chinese New Year.
That would be a real snow disaster.
Gu Bei exhaled a breath of white mist, then picked up a piece of braised large intestine with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth: "You said that man knows that Uncle Chu lives here?"
"yes."
The middle-aged man nodded, his cheeks turned red, perhaps due to the surge of alcohol.
"As soon as the man came, he asked me where Lao Chu lived and asked me to take him there. I was unwilling to do so. Xiao Gu, you should also know that our Media Asia has been liquidated and everything in this building has been destroyed. I have to pay off the debt. I don't dare to let outsiders in casually. If something is lost, it will be charged to me. But the man took out a photo with Lao Chu and said that they were college classmates. I That’s why I took him in.”
"A group photo?" Gu Bei chewed the braised large intestine in his mouth, his voice was unclear.
"Yes, a group photo." The middle-aged man took off the porcelain bottle from the stove with a clamp, filled the wine glass, and then put the porcelain bottle back. "It should be a photo of them together in college. It is indeed Lao Chu in the photo. He was from He was handsome when he was young, but he doesn’t look like the person in the photo. He looks quite handsome in the photo, but in real life he is a bit... um... greasy."
He commented.
"Is there anything special about the photo?" Gu Bei asked.
He squinted his eyes and already had a guess in his mind, but he just lacked one piece of evidence.
The middle-aged man's next words gave him the evidence he wanted: "Special? If there is something special, it should be their school uniforms, which are very green, and the school badge on the chest, which looks like a tree. , I’m still half dead. If you say that my aesthetic sense as a foreigner is not that good, this shabby school uniform is not as good-looking as the uniform I wore in high school..."
The middle-aged man must have been drunk again, he said nonchalantly.
Gu Bei, on the other hand, had already heard what he wanted to know.
The green school uniform, this is Kassel's school uniform, yes, and the half-dead tree should be Kassel's school emblem - the half-dead World Tree.
From these two points it can be concluded that this mysterious man is from Kassel.
Moreover, the other party had a clear purpose. He stated that he wanted to go to the place where Chu Tianjiao lived. However, he only stayed in the room for a few minutes. This shows that the other party was either in a hurry or came with a mission and had finished what he wanted to do. , left decisively.
It's not over yet. This person skillfully cleaned up the whole place when he left. If Gu Bei hadn't seen the past through observation, he might not have been able to catch this person.
This clean and neat style of acting... looks a bit familiar.
It feels like someone from the executive department.
etc!
Execution Department…Execution Department…
Gu Bei suddenly realized that he had ignored a problem from beginning to end.
Chu Tianjiao is the ace of Kassel's execution department, so the tasks he performs should also be arranged by the execution department.
According to the long-standing regulations of the Execution Department, tasks must be carried out in teams, with at least two team members - the executor and the supervisor.
Let alone the ace commissioner, even the executive minister must act according to the rules.
Only one person in Kassel was allowed to go on a mission alone, and that person was Hilbert Jean Angers.
Then here comes the problem.
Where are Chu Tianjiao’s teammates?
After thinking of this, Gu Bei instantly felt horrified.
Not because Chu Tianjiao had a teammate, but because Gu Bei suddenly realized that even he himself had subconsciously ignored this matter.
This shows that when fate interfered with Chu Tianjiao, it also affected Gu Bei.
But this shouldn't be the case.
As a time traveler, Gu Bei's destiny is difficult to be controlled by the destiny of this world. It is precisely because of this that Gu Bei is given the opportunity to change his destiny by jumping out of it.
Facts have proved this.
It is difficult for Gu Bei to be locked by Kungunir. Even if he is locked, he can break free. He will not be cursed with immediate death, and all the words and spirits that interfere with destiny cannot act on him.
Correspondingly, Chu Tianjiao's existence would not have much impact on Gu Bei even if he was involved.
But just now, he really ignored the fact that Chu Tianjiao had a teammate, which showed that the intervention of fate suddenly had an impact on him.
Or maybe it's not sudden, but subtle.
Gu Bei thought about it and suddenly understood.
It wasn't that fate had an impact on him, but that Gu Bei had gone too far.
His relationship with the people around him became closer and closer, and he paid more and more attention to the people around him, which entangled his fate with the fate of the people around him.
He himself is still not affected by fate, but fate can interfere with the people around him and indirectly affect him.
Just like Chu Tianjiao's teammate, the reason why Gu Bei subconsciously ignored this matter was because he subconsciously felt that Chu Zihang would notice it, because Chu Zihang was Chu Tianjiao's son and a member of the execution department, so Able to detect.
Gu Bei preconceived that Chu Zihang would be able to detect it, so he ignored the problem. However, in fact, Chu Zihang was not aware of it at all because of the interference of fate.
If Gu Bei hadn't said it, Chu Zihang would never have remembered that his father might have had a teammate.
It's dark under the lamp...
Gu Bei grinned, took out his cell phone, and sent Fingel a message: "Check the fresh graduates from 1986 to 1988, give me a list, and make a separate list of those who joined the executive department. .”
Chu Tianjiao is a graduate of Kassel in 1987. He is a student of the same generation as him and can perform tasks together as a partner. There is not much difference in age.
After a while, Gu Bei received a reply from Fingel. Gu Bei clicked on it, and the content contained only two words: "Received."
Just at this time,
Gu Bei's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Chu Zihang.
"Hey, senior brother... Oh, you've got it over there... I'm eating braised intestines in the office, do you want to come over and join us... Okay, I'll come over then."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Bei stretched out, looked at the drunken and unconscious middle-aged man, took out dozens of dollars from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and then took away the remaining braised large intestine and Grilled chicken wings and left the small building while eating.
As soon as he went out, he saw Chu Zihang standing at the door.
"Braised intestines and grilled chicken wings, would you like some?" Gu Bei raised the bag in his hand, looking like a vendor selling his own dry goods.
Chu Zihang glanced at him speechlessly, and finally ate a braised large intestine.
In fact, Chu Zihang didn't intend to eat it at first. After all, he was not as keen on this stuff as his father, but in the end he still took a piece from Gu Bei's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Just like some kind of ritual, those who visit Chu Tianjiao must eat a meal of braised large intestine, otherwise they will not be counted as visiting.
"How about it?"
"The taste is just average..." Chu Zihang chewed the large intestine, "I don't know how he likes to eat this stuff."
"Everyone has his own merits." Gu Bei handed over another chicken wing.
Chu Zihang shook his head.
Gu Bei stuffed the chicken wings into his mouth with a look of regret, then spit out two bones: "This thing tastes much better than the intestines."
The corners of Chu Zihang's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
"I thought you would stay in there for a little longer." Gu Bei said while slurping the chicken wings.
Chu Zihang glanced at him: "Mom has sent news, urging us to go back quickly."
"I asked you why you came out so quickly. It turns out there was an imperial edict." Gu Bei chuckled and said, "But it's okay. At least you have settled one worry... How do you feel?"
"It's okay." Chu Zihang raised his head and looked into the distance.
Snowflakes were falling in pieces, and the whole world was completely white, with no trace of color visible.
Huicheng has not had such heavy snow for many years.
Chu Zihang asked: "Have you brought an umbrella?"
Gu Bei spread his hands.
Chu Zihang sighed and took a step into the wind and snow.
In an instant, a burst of heat surged out of his body, and Gu Bei saw that the snow within a radius of two meters centered on where Chu Zihang was standing had begun to melt.
Chu Zihang's control of power has become more refined. This move is obviously derived from Jun Yan and Hei Yan, and also uses the Qi Men Li Zi Jue, but it does not trigger it. There is only a heat wave but no sparks.
As the saying goes, you can tell the whole leopard by looking at a spot. From this small use of power, Gu Bei could see that Chu Zihang's cultivation level had improved. If it weren't for the inner demons, I am afraid that Chu Zihang would have been able to try it now. Entering the interior.
wrong!
Gu Bei frowned and looked at Chu Zihang again, and found that the Yuan Qi in Chu Zihang's body was flowing smoothly and harmoniously, without any lag.
There doesn't seem to be any inner demons here.
"Senior brother, your inner demon..."
"Solved." Chu Zihang said calmly.
Gu Bei looked at Chu Zihang's cold expression and didn't know whether this guy really didn't care or was just pretending.
That's the inner demon! Inner demon!
Even if Master Tian gives birth to inner demons, he may not be able to resolve them - although there is a high probability that Master Tian will not give birth to inner demons based on his character, but this is enough to show how difficult the inner demons are.
This thing has nothing to do with cultivation, only the character of mind.
If the character of the mind is achieved, it will come naturally; if the character of the mind is not there and the knot in the heart cannot be opened, then even if one has attained a high level of cultivation and becomes an immortal, he will never be able to get rid of the entanglement of inner demons.
And the most difficult thing about this thing is that it can destroy the practitioner's state of mind.
For example, the state of mind is a piece of land, and the inner demons are a pit. The process of eliminating the inner demons is the process of filling the pit, but the pit will change. How much soil do you fill in?
, he will grow as big as possible, so that this land will never be filled up.
This is also the most disgusting part of the inner demon.
Practitioners who have inner demons are like Jingwei who fill up the sea and encounter melting glaciers. There is basically nothing they can do except scold their mother.
Even in the Eight Wonders, there is no good solution to the inner demons.
You can only rely on yourself for this kind of thing.
Some people are gifted and extinguish their inner demons after giving birth to them, while most people will waste their whole lives unable to make any progress due to the entanglement of their inner demons.
There is a saying that Gu Bei had long been prepared for Chu Zihang and his inner demon to be together for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, Chu Zihang gave him a big surprise.
The inner demon has been eliminated, and from now on, there will be no obstacles in Chu Zihang's spiritual path.
"Senior brother..." Gu Bei opened his mouth, and countless words rolled in his stomach several times, and finally merged into two words, "Niubi."
Chu Zihang didn't look back: "Let's go."
"Okay."
Gu Bei took two quick steps and came close to Chu Zihang, feeling the lingering heat wave and feeling comfortable all over.
Successful practitioners are not afraid of hot and cold, but this does not mean that strangers cannot feel hot and cold. Temperature changes exist objectively. Cold is cold and hot is hot. Practitioners are just more able to bear it than ordinary people. Such extreme temperatures.
But being able to bear it does not mean that you like it. If the temperature is too cold, the practitioner will also feel uncomfortable.
"Senior brother."
"Um?"
"I'll pay you a salary, and you can be my mobile air conditioner this winter."
"...How did you say that?"
"Which sentence?"
"You're thinking shit."
"...I didn't expect that even senior brother you would learn to be funny."
"Those who are close to ink are black."
Gu Bei was choked and could only shut up angrily.
