If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The gray three-story building has two basements. The corridors and ceilings are very short and narrow, getting narrower and narrower as you walk, as if it is about to collapse and make you breathless. I heard middle-aged people say that this place was a temporary building of the Media Asia Group. The warehouse was piled with all kinds of used mechanical parts and equipment. It was not intended to be occupied at first, but when Chu Tianjiao said that there was no place to live, the boss of Media Asia Group simply had someone clean up a room for him to live in. .

The hum of the air conditioner compressor spread from the other end of the corridor to this end, and there was dust everywhere. When people moved around, the wind blew up and made people shudder and frown. The middle-aged people seemed to be used to staying in this place for a long time. He held his breath, shook out a large hanging key from his sleeve, and said while flipping through it, "This place has been around for a long time. I used to come here often, but then Lao Chu disappeared and I didn't come down much. Now Come to think of it, he's quite capable. He's just... cough. He hasn't changed places in a few years. I told him about several cheap rental houses and he refused them all, saying that he needed to save some money so that he could give them a gift for his son's wedding in the future. .Sigh, who knew that natural and man-made disasters can happen so quickly? I asked the transportation bureau and they said that only the body of the Maybach was found. As for the driver, it was even more smashed than a stink, and there was blood everywhere inside and outside the car."

"Has anyone claimed the body?" Lin Nian looked at the closed iron doors in the corridor. Each door had a number painted in white. Going back from 001, incandescent lights were hung on the ceiling above. It exudes warmth and light, making their shadows wander in the corridor.

"It was said that it was too damaged and could not be claimed, so it was just cleaned up hastily. The funeral was not as good as Lao Chu. This person usually has a good relationship with us, but when it comes to funerals and funerals that cost money, no one rushes to go. Jie Lei didn’t even have a decent funeral or a grave. I couldn’t find a place to burn something, so I could only go back to the stall where we used to eat braised large intestines, order a dish, smoke cigarettes and drink beer. "The middle-aged man looked at this corridor where everything was different, coughed twice and whispered, "The smell of kerosene may be worse as you go in. Brother, do you want me to go back and get you a mask?"

"No need." Lin Nian shook his head and asked as if he was remembering something, "Is the smell of kerosene always so strong here?"

"In the past, when the factory was working in the back, the smell was several times worse than it is now. It was so choking that people didn't dare to come down. But Lao Chu is different. He is used to living there, and he dares to get down there no matter how strong the smell of kerosene is."

Lin Nian nodded. The mixed-race species does have its own uniqueness in some places. For normal people, it is an unbearable or even extreme environment. If Chu Tianjiao is really an 'S' level, then for this group of people, Whether the place where they live has a strong kerosene smell is just the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable. Not to mention the kerosene smell, even in a fire scene where the air temperature can burn the respiratory tract, they can breathe freely and even fight with all their strength.

"Old Chu's life has been pretty hard, but I guess if his son hadn't been in an accident with him in the car that day, his ex-wife probably wouldn't have known about his death in the car accident. They all say they've put down roots, but I It feels like he still has no foundation after more than ten or twenty years here. He died without a complete body and couldn’t even be buried in the ground." The middle-aged man said with a sigh.

"As long as there are no dead people buried underground, you don't belong here." Lin Nian nodded.

"That's very good. Are you a top student? Are you looking for material from Lao Chu this time?" The middle-aged man also slowly pulled out of his memories.

"No, I know his son." Lin Nian said, "I read the sentence just now in a book, and I think it is very suitable to describe him."

"Then why is it not his son who came to see me?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised.

Lin Nian did not answer this question because Chu Zihang never believed that Chu Tianjiao died in a car accident. The scene of meeting the gods that night has been deeply engraved in Chu Zihang's mind. In this life, his goal will only be He approached the god again and jumped up like a lion to ask Him to return the man.

But things seen from different angles are completely different. Lin Nian came into contact with Chu Tianjiao as an 'S' level specialist, so he would inevitably use a more rational starting point to analyze the matter. For Chu Zihang, Chu Tianjiao was his biological father. He gave birth to him in this city and raised him until he was six years old. Then the family split and fell apart. It was not until later that the tragedy on the elevated road happened.

But in Lin Nian's eyes, Chu Tianjiao has never been a father, but a super hybrid who can make most people awed. He came to this city just to rush to a certain mission, and they just met by chance. The woman in the dance troupe fell in love. This was just an episode on the way to completing his mission. He most likely came for Odin from the beginning and knew that there was a Nibelung in this city. However, there One night he was able to get inside, but the only mistake was that he brought his child with him.

There must be some secret hidden in Chu Tianjiao's safe house. If this secret can be revealed, maybe Lin Nian will be able to understand Odin's true face better, and it will most likely solve the biggest doubt he has in his heart.

"This is Lao Chu's house. I haven't opened it for a long time, and I don't know how bad the situation inside is. It's always good to be mentally prepared." The middle-aged man coughed and stood at a door painted with '062 In front of the room, he took out the key that he had been looking for for a long time, opened the lock, and opened the door.

The fresher air from the dreary corridor blew into my face, and a smell of dust rose from the ground. The room was not as unsightly as the middle-aged man said. On the contrary, it was surprisingly tidy and there was not much air flow. Because there wasn't much dust, a double bed, a bedside table, a writing desk against the wall, and the refrigerator in the corner were probably all the furniture in this room.

"It would be nice if there were no mice, but Lao Chu doesn't like to bring food into the room. I guess mice don't like to come in." The middle-aged man seemed to be moved by the scene when he saw the layout of the room, and there was a sense of sadness in his eyes. At his age, he always likes to reminisce about the past. Some people say this is a sign of old age. Not only do people get older, but their hearts also get older together, so they can recall all the good things in the past.

"I'll sit by myself for a while." Lin Nian raised his hand as if to exclude the guest. But he didn't know that he was the guest.

"Okay, if you need anything, just call me. I'll wait for you on the first floor." The middle-aged man didn't care about priorities. He was just a person who was ordered to do things. Don't look at the boy in front of him who is older than him. It's much smaller, but with just one word from the other party, you can probably lose your job or find a good job again? The premise is that you don't make the other person uncomfortable.

The middle-aged man left, and Lin Nian walked into the room. Someone closed the door for him behind him, and there was a bang, bringing up some scattered dust.

The blond girl clapped her hands and wandered in front of Lin Nian, wandering around the room first. Her little feet stepped on the thin dusty ground without leaving any mark. When she thought about it, she seemed to be able to break through the void. The boundaries of reality disturbed reality. When she didn't want to, she turned back into that ghost and existed only in Lin Nian's sight.

"Why are you coming out at this time? You have been very diligent during this time." Lin Nian walked to the double bed. There were several old copies of "Story Club" on the bedside table. He picked up one and flipped through it carefully. Now that I read it, the short stories above are still the same as before, full of weirdness, but also extremely fascinating.

"Now times are advancing, and 3D movies are outdated. Just watching live broadcasts is boring. 5D holographic movies like this are the new future!" The blonde girl jumped on the bed and jumped twice, making the bed board bang. , she pursed her lips somewhat unhappily, raised her hand and patted the bed twice hard, which was made of wooden boards.

"I thought you were worried that I might find something terrible and came out to stop me." Lin Nian put down the "Story Meeting" where he found no clues and looked at the blond girl who was lying on the bed well. She opened a corner of the quilt and patted him, beckoning him to come in and sleep with her.

"Why are you talking so harshly today? Do you think I'm the mastermind behind the scenes?" The blonde girl lifted the quilt with a smile on her face.

"It's nothing, I just thought of something." Lin Nian walked to the desk and picked up the family photo on it. The photo was taken in an amusement park. A relatively handsome man stood with his arms around a beautiful woman and a cute boy. Together, the boy held an ice cream cone in his hand and licked it intently. Only then did he realize that Chu Zihang did not have a sudden change of temperament and became paralyzed after that night, but that he had been paralyzed since he was a child. He was good at eating ice cream and taking family photos. Okay, all the faces are expressionless.

"What must be the purpose of allowing an 'S' class to remain anonymous for so many years, doing the work of picking up plaster and moving boilers every day, even giving up his wife and children, and living in a basement that smells of excessive kerosene all day long until he dies? You have to bear the humiliation and bear such heavy burdens for such an incredible mission, right?" The blond girl sat on the hard bed, hugging her knees and looking at Lin Nian in front of the desk.

Lin Nian put down the family portrait and walked to the small refrigerator and opened the door. There was no moldy food as expected. It was empty. The only thing left was three cans of beer that he had not had time to drink. He took out one can and looked at it. The production date indicates that it has expired for four years. The liquor inside may have become turbid and precipitated, and the color when poured out will be darker than Coca-Cola.

"Chu Tianjiao is indeed an 'S' class, a genuine super hybrid. I can tell you this directly." The blonde girl suddenly said.

Lin Nian turned to look at her without saying anything. He had almost confirmed this news with the information he had collected. Now that the blond girl mentioned this, it was just an afterthought, not even the icing on the cake.

"Chu Tianjiao was intercepted by Odin on the elevated road because he was carrying something, not because of his bloodline itself." The blonde girl added.

Lin Nian stopped, looked at the blond girl and frowned. Did Odin find Chu Tianjiao because he was carrying something important? What could make that god work and wield his spear?

This is a huge piece of information, but when the Riddler suddenly announced the answer to the riddle, there was only one possibility that he was close to the answer. But where was the information left by Chu Tianjiao in this room where the information was cleaner than a blank sheet of paper?

Suddenly, Lin Nian's eyes fell on the bed where the blond girl was sitting. It seemed that the blond girl had given him a hint from the first moment he entered the house.

He looked at the blond girl with a somewhat uncertain expression. If what Odin found was not Chu Tianjiao but something he brought, then he could be sure that there was a certain connection between the blond girl's "essence" and that thing. Similarities? Then investigate

The blond girl couldn't help but chuckled when she looked at his thoughtful expression: "Isn't your real purpose just to use Chu Tianjiao's affairs to find out what I am? If you want to know, just tell me. I will Helping you. Just like always."

ps: It turns out that adjusting my schedule is not a big deal for me. I am like a pig and have to sleep for twelve hours.
