King of Black Mist

After eating, the three of them walked out of the cafeteria and took a walk on campus.

The fourteen-day New Year event, the extraterrestrial journey, had just ended. No matter how much the value game required them to race against time, they just wanted to quietly enjoy their daily lives for a while.

People are coming and going on campus, and on the avenue leading from the cafeteria to the school gate, there are vendors selling books under the evergreen camphor trees.

The stalls formed a long queue along the curb, and the light bulbs were lit all the way, making it look very warm.

Yang Qinglan picked up a book and put it down.

"What's wrong?" Li Changzhou stood beside her.

I used to stand by her side, but today it feels completely different, now they are a couple! He couldn't wait to tell everyone in the world this news!

Even if they are deaf, blind, infants and old people, he still has to shout to them: Yang Qinglan is his!

My heart is filled with endless joy.

"Pirated books," Yang Qinglan smiled at him, "I want to buy the genuine ones for my collection."

The lamp on the bookstall was bright yellow, illuminating her smiling profile like a dreamy Dunhuang flying fairy.

"Hey, stop staring, haven't you seen enough?" Li Qianxia blew on her bangs as if she couldn't bear it, complaining about the two people who were staring at each other again.

She took Yang Qinglan's arm and walked towards the school gate.

"Qinglan, what do you like about my brother?"

"bright."

"Guangming?" Li Qianxia was puzzled.

"If your life is not going well, you can still sincerely hope that others will live a happy life." Yang Qinglan explained.

"anything else?"

"Compliance with commitments."

"This is because I taught him well. When we were young, we agreed that each person could only play with his mobile phone for 10 minutes. I would never let him play for one more second." Li Qianxia said with an expression like "I raised this child."

If she didn't have a girlfriend now and her girlfriend was by his side, Li Changzhou would definitely spank her to let her know who taught whom.

Yang Qinglan chuckled twice.

"What else is there?" Li Qianxia asked again.

"Strong strength, good grades, and strong willpower."

"I taught it too. What else?"

"Well" Yang Qinglan thought for a while, "Is she in good shape?"

"You are so nasty, Qinglan." Li Qianxia smiled like a gangster.

Yang Qinglan said amusedly: "I am your brother's girlfriend now, and I will be your sister-in-law in the future. Is it considered obscene to say that your brother has a good figure?"

"What about his face?"

"Yeah, I like that too." Yang Qinglan said calmly.

Li Changzhou said nothing. He felt that he was chatting with Yang Qinglan and that Yang Qinglan's words were addressed to him.

The lights were just the right amount of light and dark, the sounds of students picking out books were just right, and the night breeze was pleasantly cool—maybe a bit chilly to others.

"anything else?"

"good for you."

"Be good to me?" Li Qianxia tilted her head.

Li Changzhou wanted to tell his sister loudly, don't believe her, she was jealous of you before!

"I heard you talk a lot about you and Chang Zhou. A person who can take care of his sister like this should be good for his future family members."

"Future family" repeated these five words, and Li Qianxia just wanted to laugh.

Li Changzhou already smiled.

At this time, Li Qianxia hooked her hand and held him.

The three of them held hands and walked side by side, which immediately attracted the attention of the students around them. College students are at the age where they like to joke about the relationship between men and women, and they would probably speculate on their relationship with their romantic thoughts.

"Brother, it's your turn. Tell me honestly, what do you like about Qinglan?" Li Qianxia asked him, her eyes shining brightly.

"Don't you know?" Li Changzhou said.

"I have no idea!"

Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan both stared at him. Li Changzhou scratched the corner of his left eye with his right hand: "I fell in love with Qinglan when I first saw her on the bus."

"Love at first sight?" Li Qianxia confirmed.

"Love at first sight." Li Changzhou nodded.

"Qinglan likes your face, your body, and your inner qualities, but you only like her appearance? What a scumbag!" The advantage of being a younger sister is that you can call your brother a scumbag without any hesitation.

"She's cute when she's shy."

"It's still the appearance."

"It's also cute when it teases people."

"He has a little bit of character."

“It’s beautiful when you think.”

"It's back to appearances!"

"I don't care about the appearance or the inside, I like it anyway." Li Changzhou said.

Li Qianxia had a trembling expression as if she had been blown by the cold wind. She turned to look at Yang Qinglan. Yang Qinglan was covering her lips with the back of her left hand and was smiling.

"I have decided!" Li Qianxia announced loudly, "From today on, I will walk among you and sleep among you. I will never allow anything to happen to you -"

"Go away, who are you?" Li Changzhou pushed Li Qianxia away. The advantage of being an older brother is that he can attack his sister mercilessly.

Yang Qinglan laughed out loud.

Li Qianxia, ​​who was pushed behind, rushed forward, jumped on Li Changzhou's back, and strangled him with her arms.

"Let go."

"Let me go? I'll strangle you to death, you're such a pervert!"

Mingcheng University is very big. I used to want to rent a battery car when I walked from the cafeteria to the school gate. Today, I don’t know if I am stronger or something, but I am already on the road in the blink of an eye.

The three of them planned to walk back to Yanhe Road and return to the "Honey Pot World" in the backyard of Qinglan Bookstore.

Yang Qinglan was listening to Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia discussing whether to take the final exam, and Li Qianxia's series of plans on how to use his skills to cheat with his brother, when he saw Zheng Qing.

They were walking on the sidewalk, and Zheng Qing was standing in the middle of the road. There was an accident there. From the outside, it looked like a car accident.

She did not hide her sight, and with Zheng Qing's "ability" - including alertness, she immediately discovered them.

Zheng Qing came over with a smile on her face.

When Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia looked over, they happened to see her climbing over the guardrail between the motorized lane and the non-motorized lane in a crisp and neat manner.

After saying hello, Zheng Qing said: "Congratulations!"

"You already know?" As soon as Li Changzhou finished speaking, Yang Qinglan touched him with her elbow.

"I watched the live broadcast." Zheng Qing didn't pay attention to Yang Qinglan's little moves, "This event was already very dangerous, but I didn't expect that someone would show up. I'm really worried for you."

"Yes, you can travel through time. If you can't defeat these people, you can go back to the past and kill us when we were children!" Li Qianxia seemed to have met someone who cheated on the game and had no place to report it to the authorities, so she was very angry.

The most important thing is that you can't do it yourself!

Zheng Qing looked back at the scene of the car accident, then pressed her chest again, her expression cautious.

Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia's expressions became more serious, knowing what she was going to say.

Yang Qinglan's expression remained unchanged, always very indifferent, making it difficult to believe that she was an enthusiastic girl who would take the initiative to kiss Li Changzhou.

"According to the intelligence and analysis of the special operations bureau," Zheng Qing said in a lower voice, "neither the future nor the past can be changed."

"Isn't it possible?" Li Qianxia was stunned for a moment.

“God returned to the past and went to the future, only to gain a deeper understanding of history and the future, understand what happened at that time, and discover some things that he didn’t know at the time.

"For example, the King of Wind and Light, according to common sense, since he can travel through time, he can come to the present moment and know from us whether he is going well, but he does not."

"Why?" Li Qianxia asked.

"There are two views within the special operations bureau." Zheng Qing's voice became even lower.

Li Qianxia couldn't help but glance at the car accident scene for her, worried that the special battle players over there would notice it.

"The first one thinks that it is simply the King of Wind and Light's own fault, and the gods are just some very powerful players, not an omniscient and omnipotent God in the true sense."

"It's like the player's intelligence cannot be increased?" Yang Qinglan said.

"Yeah." Zheng Qing nodded.

"What about the second one?" Li Qianxia asked.

"The second kind" Zheng Qing looked hesitant, "It may be frustrating to say it. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Listen! It just so happens that some people are too happy today. Help them to calm down, right, Qinglan?" Li Qianxia turned her head and seemed to be talking to Yang Qinglan, but in fact she flicked her ponytail in Li Changzhou's face.

Li Changzhou touched her sore face and wondered if it was time for her to cut her hair. If she let the ponytail down, the ends would reach her waist.

Zheng Qing glanced at Yang Qinglan, who nodded lightly.

"I have already said that the past and the future cannot be changed." Zheng Qing said, "Just like this incident."

She glanced at the car accident.

“If a person tries to go back to today and change it, he may be blocked by various things, or find that he has become part of the cause of the event.

"The second view is that this is a decision of some kind of will. Both the past and the future have been determined by this will. Even if the gods want to change, the will will make things follow the original history - that is, will Wanted history – to continue to develop.”

"This will is the real God." Li Changzhou sighed.

"Why is it God? Isn't our Xia Kingdom's way of heaven good?" Li Qianxia was unconvinced.

"God was originally a word from the Xia Dynasty. It first appeared in the "Yu Shu Dian" of "Shangshu". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, translators were unable to determine the corresponding Chinese word for 'God', so they used the word 'God' Concept." Yang Qinglan explained.

"That's right." Li Qianxia suddenly realized.

Li Changzhou really wanted to say that he still liked Yang Qinglan's erudition, but now was not the time to talk about this. The key was that Zheng Qing was still there. If there were only three of them, the topic could be arbitrary.

"Special Operations analysts believe the will is either a value play or that player."

"Who?" Li Qianxia asked subconsciously.

"The ultimate winner of the value game." Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou said at the same time.

Zheng Qing nodded.

"That's right!" Li Qianxia was excited, "Even gods can travel through time. That person may not be a human being. Why can't that player? As long as he can travel through time, who can still be his opponent? Who can change him? He doesn't want to change. What about the past?! He doesn’t allow it to change!”

The more I think about it, the scarier it becomes.

She couldn't help but say: "Sister Qing, you said the second view is frustrating, is it because - no matter what we do, the future is already determined?"

"This is just a guess." Zheng Qing neither confirmed nor denied.

"If a person knows that he will die fifty years from now, no matter what he does in these fifty years, he will not die?" Li Changzhou asked while thinking.

"People who think like this will probably find that they are already dead when they go to the future for the first time."

"It's all based on speculation, let's talk about it later." Yang Qinglan is still the same person as before. She will definitely not waste time on things that cannot be figured out.

Just like when Li Changzhou entered the value game for the first time, she thought that the known information could not improve his survival rate, so she did not tell him.

Li Changzhou no longer dwells on this issue. Regardless of whether he has been manipulated in the past or in the future, he still has to work hard. Moreover, he just got a girlfriend and is looking forward to the future.

I was thinking about kissing you again tonight

Yang Qinglan touched his arm lightly again. Li Changzhou quickly put away his thoughts that were going downhill and suppressed the smile on his face.

"What's going on? Do you need help?" He asked Zheng Qing, glancing at the car accident in the middle of the road.

Zheng Qing has S-level "Animal Way", and the things she is responsible for handling will not be simple.

"A player from the Corpse Exorcist Sect has been caught stealing a player's body," Zheng Qing explained.

"Corpse Sect?" Li Qianxia's eyes revealed curiosity.

"Come and take a look." Zheng Qing tapped her chest again and opened the communication with the logistics team.

This time they did not climb over the railing, and the four of them took a detour. The scene was surrounded by police cars and cordoned off.

A player was detained by two players from the stability maintenance team. When he saw Zheng Qing, he immediately shouted: "Captain Zheng, I really didn't break the law. There is no use in leaving the body there. I can still use the residual heat!"

"To be honest, I have wanted to report the situation for a long time! Why can ceramics, lacquer, wood carving, and embroidery become traditional cultures, not only protected, but also funded, while my corpse exorcism sect has become a crooked sect that is severely punished? "

"I beg you to let me go. I have no debts and I have not been unkind for wealth. I have never committed any crime with my ability. Is it also illegal to take corpses?"

"I just want to live, but how can I survive without corpses!"

He burst into tears, wailed loudly, and burst into tears. His heart was broken. Just listening to the voice, one can't help but sympathize with him.

"According to Article 302 of the Criminal Law, anyone who steals, insults, or intentionally destroys corpses, bones, or ashes shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or public surveillance."

The player director of the corpse exorcism sect stopped his voice as if shouting "Ka" and stared at Li Changzhou: "Who are you?"

Don't you know him? Never watched the live broadcast of Value Game?

"A student from the Law Department of the University of Ming Dynasty." Li Changzhou answered.

"Captain Zheng, don't listen to his nonsense. What does an ordinary student know?"

"Take it away." Zheng Qing said to the players in the stability maintenance team.

The two players carried the corpse exorcists and walked towards the special police car.

The corpse exorcist struggled so hard that his legs were off the ground. He turned around and yelled: "I protest, I don't accept it, I want to ask a lawyer! I want to appeal to the state, corpse exorcism is also a traditional craft! It is the culture of Xia Kingdom since ancient times!"

"Don't think I don't know! Under the protection of the Special War Bureau, those tomb robbers disguised themselves as archaeologists! They dug into other people's graves, searched for the past of the cultivators, and found many treasures!"

"You are the ones who are wicked! You are the ones who should be tried! I am not guilty!"

Li Qianxia watched with admiration as this man was put into the police car and disappeared completely.

Yang Qinglan and Li Changzhou were somewhat interested in digging ancient tombs.

"The matter has been resolved," Zheng Qing didn't say much. "If the road is not enough, it will probably take a few days to open."

Two cars were overturned at the scene, and the ground was full of potholes. Several staff members wearing protective clothing were putting the bodies stolen by the exorcists into body bags.

Yang Qinglan gently raised her hand, and the broken stones and asphalt turned into needles and threads, automatically repairing the damaged ground.

Zheng Qing was a little surprised. According to her own understanding, Yang Qinglan was not the type of person who was willing to help others, even with a little effort. In her impression, he was a fairy who did not recognize the fireworks of the world and did not interact with others.

Is it because it is not far from the school gate, so the repair is done so as not to delay your trip?

In fact, the reason is very simple. It's just that Yang Qinglan is in a good mood today and has a boyfriend.

"One more thing," she repeated the logistics team's instructions, "about the development of the Four Seasons Star, the Special Operations Bureau wants to talk to you."

Have to talk.

The crown of the gods that controls the Four Seasons Star is in the hands of Li Changzhou. Without permission and some practical commitments, the Special War Bureau will not invest resources and energy in the Four Seasons Star.

Li Changzhou had never thought about this matter. All he could think about was Yang Qinglan.

He thought about it temporarily: "At this time tomorrow night, you can come to Qinglan Bookstore."

"good."

During the day tomorrow, Li Changzhou plans to use all his savings and income from live broadcasts to upgrade his skills.

The Special War Bureau received the news almost immediately. On the list of negotiators, Zhang Ligong, who "follows the trend of others," was the first to be selected. Even if the past events were wiped out, they still had to make plans for the future.
