A Million Possible

"Then I'm flattered." Cheng Lin said with a light smile, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The room was very warm. A carved window not far from the four of them was open, but it never brought any coolness. After a brief silence, Shi Shengcun folded his hands and pressed it on the lightly colored thin blanket on his legs. Say:

"I haven't seen you in a few days, I should always say thank you."

"Oh? Thanks for what?" Cheng Lin asked deliberately.

Shi Shengcun smiled and said: "Charlie Owen’s promotion was an accident, but it was indeed predictable. In contrast, Celesia’s changes, I really did not guess at all. After my injury was stabilized, I knew about the time. It can be said that without you, we would have suffered great damage."

Cheng Lin waved his hand: "This is part of the agreement."

After a pause, he continued:

"You are willing to press such an important battle on me. I should go all out. Celesia is indeed an accident, but overall, the result is always good. Even if it weren't for him, I would not have had the chance. Promote to Rank 7 soon."

He said this sincerely, but it is a pity that if Celesia knows in the spring, he is afraid to come alive with anger.

Shi Shengcun said with emotion:

"In half a year, from an ordinary person, formally reached the seventh stage...Well, if you count the real combat power, I think that for you, it is not suitable to be measured by the ordinary seventh stage. I am really curious. What kind of power is it that created such a miracle."

The room was quiet, Cheng Lin sighed silently, and his heart came.

This is also the most important topic of their meeting this time.

In this regard, he has already written down the draft in the past few days. Even if he is not reminded by Ren Yi, he will not be completely frank, but some key points must be expressed clearly. Otherwise, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, and subsequent cooperation Difficulties arise.

Because of this, he made up some rhetoric seriously.

After Shi Shengcun said these words, Xu Qu and the secretary who had been silent and pretending to be invisible from beginning to end couldn't help but look over curiously.

"This incident... has to start with the first projection six months ago," Cheng Lin deliberately showed a posture of memory, his tone was slow, as if he was telling a story, "At that time, I was near Ningcheng. Have a..."

The room became extremely quiet, only Cheng Lin's voice sounded, and the other three people listened intently, seemingly unwilling to miss any details.

"Uuuuu..."

I don't know when, little snow floated outside the carved window sash, and countless "white petals" danced with the wind, surging and wandering in this ancient Taoist courtyard.

Under the bare tree, Liang Jing stood quietly. After sending Cheng Lin over, she did not leave, just stood here and waited.

Putting his hands near the trousers line, he looked a little serious, a little serious.

Looking through the layers of blizzard, he looked at the four people drinking tea in the window.

"Crunch...Crunch..."

People came from time to time, but they were all blocked by Liang Jing, and then those people either left or wandered outside the red gate of Taoist temple, looking inside curiously.

But no matter how good their hearing is, they can't hear any sound.

All the sounds have long been blocked by the invisible Mental Energy in that small house.

...

"That's probably how it happened."

After half an hour, Cheng Lin picked up the cup, moistened his throat, and made a concluding remark. The other three people present were lost in thought.In his story, the existence of the "deduction system" is concealed and replaced by a dream.

The starting point of the matter was still in the valley of the second deduction. In the story he made up, he was very curious after learning that the name of own appeared in the first projection, so when the second projection appeared , Secretly broke into it, and unexpectedly awakened in the valley.

So far, there was nothing unusual, until after the eighth group of Ningcheng tested, he frequently encountered strange dreams during the few days when he went to the Ninth Lingxiu Institute.

"There is nothing in the dream, only a ball of light is floating. When I don’t touch him, there is nothing unusual. When I touch it, I will sense some sights, and as I go deeper, the broken sights will be connected. I get up and become a weird dream. In the dream, weird worlds will appear, but just like most dreams, the memories are broken and messy, so that it is difficult for me to have a deep understanding of it."

"And when I end a dream, almost at the same time, there will be projections in the world. I have no way of knowing the number and form of projections. Those projections are also very different from the era in which the dream is located, but there is a big gap after all. After many attempts, I have also found that the era shown by the projection is often after the dream era... and the revelation in the dream also helped me get more benefits in my exploration..."

Cheng Lin said.

This is the "demonstration process" after his magic reform, replacing the deduction procedure with dreams, and concealing the plot he experienced in the deduction.

In his narration, every time he ends the dream, he will acquire some strange and tiny abilities, such as Elvish language... This is the reason why he can play the "black robe". He uses the knowledge gained from the dream, Gained the trust of the elves.

In the same way, many things can be pushed to this reason.

This is also what he thought of, a more plausible rhetoric. The key points of the recommendation have not been modified too much, and the main concealment is the fact that he himself is the ascending person.

After wetting his throat, Cheng Lin put the cup down again and made a "beep" sound.

Liang Jing, who was guarding under the dry tree in the yard, suddenly heard the sound in the room again.

Shi Shengcun raised his slightly lowered head a little, clasped his right hand on the chair at some unknown time, tapped it lightly, and then seriously asked: "So, you said you can actively choose the projected... to appear?"

"Or you can use the word'open'." Cheng Lin nodded.

"Really...unbelievable..." Xu Yu said with emotion as if he was waking up from a big dream, his tone quite admiring.

Even though he had already had many ideas before, he didn't guess that the inheritance of that ascendant turned out to be like this, and he could take the initiative to cause the appearance of "projection".

Although according to Cheng Lin's statement, he has no means to intervene, but only the information he has obtained is invaluable.

Especially when this information is not only in his personal hands.

If used properly, this will become the key weapon for Xia Guo to continue to stabilize the supremacy of the spiritual world.

"I think, I understand," Shi Shengcun sighed, and said immediately, "Perhaps, this is the so-called predestined method."

After a pause, he asked again: "That's it?"

Cheng Lin thought for a moment, made a hesitant look, and said: "One more thing, this is some of my guesses. In those dreams, I found that...many projections are vaguely related to the earth."

"Oh?"

All three showed obvious curiosity.

Cheng Lin went on to vaguely point out: "I always have a feeling, perhaps, those projections do not necessarily come from other worlds, but the future."

The room became quiet again, and Shi Shengcun's expressions became more serious, but they did not question them carefully, because Cheng Lin's appearance seemed to indicate that he could not, or is currently unwilling to disclose too much.

About half a minute later, Shi Shengcun retracted his scattered thoughts, smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your frankness."

Cheng Lin did not speak, and continued to wait for the following.

Immediately, I saw Xu Qu took out a red-headed document and placed it quietly on the table. Cheng Lin took it and read it carefully. The document was very long. However, he scanned it with his Realm and Mental Energy. I have read it all in a short time.

To be precise, this is a "service contract."

"The position of Deputy Chief of the First Division?" Cheng Lin asked slightly surprised.

Xu Qu nodded: "Concurrently serve as Deputy Minister of the Special Administrative Department, enjoy ministerial allowances, and in accordance with your previous requirements, after taking office, apart from the agreed terms, there will be no more restrictions on you. Oh, in a sense In the above, your contract is better than Li Yang’s, and your main responsibility is only to provide suggestions for the next exploration. You can only provide suggestions and not participate. If you are willing to take this responsibility, we hope you Can be fully responsible for the projection exploration of national bureaus and even overseas regions."

Shi Shengcun smiled and added: "In our interior, because Li Yang is stationed in the southwest all the year round, there is an informal call to be a guardian. If you take this task, then, I think, we will welcome one.' Commander's arrival."

See Cheng Lin silent.

Shi Shengcun said again: "In addition, I have a gift to give you."

"gift?"

In Cheng Lin's suspicious eyes, Shi Shengcun raised his right hand and gently brushed it across the table. Then, there were two more pitch-black, blood-stained small swords on the table.

At the same time, Cheng Lin noticed that He Jian trembled in the spirit world.

These are two swords.

Cheng Lin took a breath, then sighed with three gazes: "Frankly speaking, this is really an irresistible condition."

"So?" Shi Shengcun smiled.

Cheng Lin sighed lightly, picked up the pen on the table, flipped his fingers, and the name appeared on the paper.

It was only then that Xu Qu was obviously relieved, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said in earnest with some jokes:

"Welcome to join, our... Commander."

...

...

Everything is so logical, in the face of absolute strength, the contract given by the special management department is generous enough, Cheng Lin really can't think of a reason for rejection.

After signing, he talked for a few more words, and then Cheng Lin was about to say goodbye, but before leaving, Shi Shengcun suddenly said mysteriously that he had an extra gift to give him and asked him to go back and wait.

Cheng Lin asked, but was only pushed off by Shi Shengcun, saying that he would know by then.

This made him quite helpless, thinking, how could outsiders know that this incomparably powerful 8-Rank realm still has such an inconspicuous side.

When Cheng Lin was sent out to confirm that he had left, Xu Qu returned to the coffee table and looked at Shi Shengcun, who was in a wheelchair in a daze:

"What do you think of him?"

The latter did not immediately give an answer. Instead, he lost his mind for about a minute before finally regaining his senses, and said seriously:

"Half true and half false."

"Oh?"

"In terms of personal experience, most of the statements are true, but there are some details of the modification... It is completely understandable. As for the part of the projection, if my feeling is not wrong, it is generally true on the key issue, but , He still concealed something."

Shi Shengcun explained it plainly, then rubbed Cheng Lin's black "signature" on the contract with his hands, and sighed: "He still can't trust us after all."

Xu Qu is not surprised: "If it were me, it would probably be the same. Trust is not achieved overnight. I believe that it will change as the understanding deepens. As for now... you also said that the main key point is truth. Yes, isn't that enough?"

Shi Shengcun smiled: "Yes, it's enough...enough...just..."

"Just what?"

"Nothing," Shi Shengcun skimmed over the topic lightly, then handed over the contract to Xu Qu, bid farewell to the two, watched Xu Qu and Secretary Zhao leave, returned to the special management department, and reported upward.

When the two were gone, only Shi Shengcun was sitting next to the coffee table. He first sealed the whole room with his power, and then slowly, with a trembling hand, he picked up an empty cup and brought it to his mouth. He spit out a cup of blood, then coughed violently, his face was as pale as a dead person.It took a full two or three minutes before he calmed down again, and tightened the quilt on his knees with his slightly jagged and cold hands, shivering as if afraid of the cold, sighed deeply, and whispered to himself:

"It's just... why am I still feeling upset..."

...

...

Among the buildings on the mountainside.

Cheng Lin opened the door of own residence briskly, in a good mood.

Trish’s attitude was better than he had expected. The “contract” was generous from any angle.

Of course, he also understands that for practitioners of his own level, contracts are mainly symbolic, and there is no law to sanction them if they are violated.

But after all, everything seems to have a happy ending.

"The commander... has finally been promoted and is no longer a student. Also, there are 7-Rank students, it's hard to say, isn't it..." Cheng Lin mumbled in his heart, thinking quite happily.

According to the agreement just now, in the next period of time, because the special department is going to start stabilizing the situation in the international spiritual world, so the manpower is tense, and he temporarily stopped new deductions. When the stability is stabilized, the special department contacts him before starting.

This coincided with his plan. He just entered the seventh stage on the left and right, and it will take some time to stabilize Realm, and now his identity is half clear, the sense of crisis is relieved, and there is no need to fight like that.

"Furthermore... At present, it seems that no country has developed a seventh-rank learnable ability... Well, the highest level of the perception system from Zhusha in the future is the seventh-rank. You can still learn, but it is not in a hurry. Say it again."

"After that is the graduation season, I will enter the First Division after graduation and become a ministerial official. After that, Huang Yin will have to call me chief?"

Cheng Lin was lying on the bed, thinking a little boringly, only feeling that the future was bright, and the wonderful life he had hoped for seemed to have arrived.

only……

He frowned suddenly, relying on the high-rank cultivator's secret perception, vaguely felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember it.

The joy in my heart is always not as joyful as I imagined, as if something bad is pressing on my heart, and the feeling of partiality is extremely weak, almost elusive, and more like an illusion.

Shaking his head, Cheng Lin had no clue on his left or right, and could only temporarily attribute this inexplicable gloomy feeling to his long-standing inertia to hide his identity.

"Forget it, don't think about it, but think about that special gift that Shi Shengcun said, what is it? It can't be better than these two Hejians, right?"

Cheng Lin stroked the He Jian in his hand. Speaking of it, this gift really exceeded his expectations, and it was enough to see the "sincerity" of the special management department, really wanting to really keep himself.

But when he thought about it, this shouldn't be all the He Swords Xia Guo mastered, these two were just a part.

"Speaking of which, according to the progress of the smelting repair, I don't know whether these two swords can restore the He Sword intact..."

As he was thinking, suddenly, he heard footsteps from far and near outside the door.

Bringing Hejian into the spirit world, Cheng Lin got up and opened the door, and then he saw Song Jun.

"Something?" Cheng Lin asked.

Then I saw myself, my neighbor and classmate, staring at me with a complicated expression for a few seconds, then said congratulations, and then I uttered the main topic: "It's the Secretary who gave you a special gift."

"Oh? What the hell is it?" Cheng Lin's curiosity was aroused.

Song Jun showed a mysterious smile: "The gift is not in the capital."

With that said, she took out two tickets for this afternoon and handed them over:

"Here, tidy up, come with me, Master Commander!"
