The Old Gods Are Whispering

As night fell, there was a building with a holographic starry sky light curtain in the neon-flashing neighborhood.

It is close to the coastline, tourists on the beach can look up and see the projection of the starry sky surging like a tide, and the screen of the building changes the lights with a sense of technology, which is a creative landscape.

- Deep space technology.

Of course, in the extraordinary world, one doesn't tend to think of this as just a tech company.

Because behind it is the largest sublimation organization in the world, the Ether Association.

The elevator went straight up to the top floor, and Lu Zicheng and Chen Qing walked out.

Dozens of cameras in the corridor pointed at them at the same time, watching them like eyes.

At the same time, a humanized male voice sounded.

"A-level investigator, Lu Zicheng."

"B-level investigator, Chen Qing."

"Welcome back to the Fengcheng branch. I have prepared iced latte and herbal tea according to your preferences."

Lu Zicheng nodded slightly, and walked into the hall with the young and beautiful female assistant.

The researchers in white coats shuttled around with files between them, and they bowed slightly when they saw them.

Lu Zicheng is not used to these things. The Ether Association has thirteen branches in the country, and tens of thousands of investigators are distributed all over the country to deal with various emergencies.

High-level people always draw cakes for everyone, and everyone should maintain world peace for the progress of mankind.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Now that you are already extraordinary, you must shoulder the mission.

You are all heroes in human history!

However, in fact, after joining the Ether Association for a period of time, most of the ascensionists will find that they have just changed to work in another place. Not only is their life in danger at any time, but they have also changed from 996 to 007.

The cute little robot slid over, holding iced latte and herbal tea.

Lu Zicheng took the latte, handed the herbal tea to the female assistant beside him, and walked straight to the end of the conference hall.

After a while, he took out another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

"Master, it's not good to smoke when you go to see Minister Lu?"

Chen Qing asked in a low voice.

Lu Zicheng said disdainfully, "Am I still afraid of her?"

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a log desk, which is full of miscellaneous documents. There is also a holographic projector in front of it, which projects the map structure of the entire Fengcheng coastline, which is high-end and advanced.

"Minister, this is the list of newcomers in the past two months."

A young female secretary reported respectfully.

Snapped!

That list was slammed on the table.

"Is this the case for the rookies this year? I'm very dissatisfied!"

Behind the desk, someone was standing on a chair with his hands on his waist, furious.

This is a girl who looks to be twelve years old at most, wearing an exquisite little black Lolita dress, black knee socks wrapping her slender legs, and black round-toed leather shoes, she is petite and lovely.

Her face is exquisite and lovely, with well-behaved twin ponytails, like a delicate doll.

But unexpectedly, it was a sister-in-law's voice.

The female secretary said tremblingly, "Minister Lu, the quality of the newcomers in this batch is very good."

Minister Lu condescended and gave her a sideways glance: "They are too ugly."

Female secretary: "..."

Lu Zicheng was drinking an iced latte and walked over with a freshly lit cigarette, only to hear this conversation.

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he said hello, "Sister, I'm back."

Minister Lu turned his head to look at him, and suddenly glared at him.

The cigarette that Lu Zichen was holding in his right hand burned instantly and turned into ashes.

"How dare you let my old lady inhale your second-hand smoke?"

Minister Lu yelled, "If you dare to smoke in front of my old lady again, I will kick you down the seventieth floor!"

Lu Zicheng's face froze, he didn't expect to see her for a long time, and this woman seemed to have become stronger again.

"Okay, my lord."

If it were someone else, he would definitely have an attack.

But the woman in front of her is too good at fighting. As one of the thirteen branch ministers in the country, she is also specialized in combat and possesses strategic strength. Most people can't do a few tricks in front of her.

Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and I will find an opportunity to settle accounts with her in the future.

The green-haired parrot rolled its eyeballs on his shoulder: "You old woman who pretends to be tender, I will clean you up sooner or later!"

Lu Zicheng: "..."

For a moment, the huge conference room fell into a deathly silence.

The green-haired parrot suddenly shook its wings and flew away.

Chen Qingyan hurriedly followed behind, his high heels making a clicking sound.

Behind the desk, Minister Lu raised his black and white eyes, which were as terrifying as a ghost.

"This broken parrot is rebellious!"

Lu Zicheng immediately said: "My lord, wait a moment, I'll grab it and pluck it and make soup."

However, Minister Lu's light words made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"return."

Lu Zicheng froze.

"Although this parrot is an extraordinary creature, it doesn't know how to read minds. It must have been said repeatedly in front of him before it could remember and learn this sentence."

Minister Lu's voice was cold: "Then, who taught him?"

"That's right, who taught it? It should be taught by Chen Qing, right? It's not me anyway."

Lu Zicheng hurriedly changed the subject, smiled and said, "Sister, did you receive my WeChat message just now?"

Minister Lu folded his hands on his chest, looked at him coldly, and hooked his fingers.

Lu Zicheng was stiff all over, and he saw the lighter and cigarette case, together with the wallet, floating out of his pocket.

Snapped.

With a snap of the fingers, everything was reduced to ashes.

Lu Zicheng's heart is bleeding, his Hua Zi.

"I will ask Taixu to freeze your bank card and mobile payment in the future, so don't even think about smoking for a month."

Minister Lu said lightly: "I've seen the WeChat, Lao Gu's son has awakened, right? Oh, Lao Gu has protected him for so many years, preventing him from contacting the extraordinary world, but he has awakened."

Lu Zicheng asked curiously: "Sister, didn't you arrange a special guard to protect him? Did you remove those people and replace them with a master?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't."

Lu Zijin rolled his eyes, and said lazily: "Although the promotion is imminent, and the power in hand is about to be handed over, but what should be done must be done well. Even if you don't meddle in other people's business today, Lao Gu's son will There won't be any problems. In my jurisdiction, can those fallen people still turn upside down?"

Lu Zicheng sat opposite her and asked, "Is that a master? Not weaker than me."

Lu Zijin was unmoved and said, "Why, you found it?"

"No, Chen Qing didn't find it either."

Lu Zicheng asked curiously, "Who is that?"

"I said, don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

Lu Zijin said impatiently, "Say something quickly."

Lu Zicheng was silent for a moment, and said word by word: "Professor Gu's son, I want him to join the Ethernet Association."

"no problem."

Minister Lu tilted his head: "It's totally fine for self-sublimation."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Lu Zicheng shook his head and said, "I want to take him personally, and join the thirty-seventh issue, which is this issue."

"Why?"

"Because this is the last phase of the Qilin Immortal Palace Project, only in this way can we enjoy the benefits of the Ether Association and enter the Ancient God Realm to open up wasteland. Every time the Ancient God Realm is opened, ascensionists from all over the world are chasing opportunities for promotion. That's all. If he can't get it, he can only become a wild sublimator."

"Well, it makes sense. Wild sublimators have no strategies, and without high-level sublimators as backup, those wild rookie teammates are basically useless except to hold back."

As a high-level executive of the Ethereum Association, Minister Lu naturally knows how miserable the wild sublimation is.

In the extraordinary world, power is naturally paramount.

"You can operate here and let him join the list of the thirty-seventh issue."

Lu Zicheng said seriously: "It's up to you to handle this matter. As Xiao Gu is an independent sublimator, Professor Gu's blood moon massacre incident should not affect him. If Yan Wu from the Yan family takes office, it will be troublesome. "

Lu Zijin squinted his beautiful eyes: "My opinion is, don't rush to the thirty-seventh issue. After all, he awakened too late, no matter which organization he went to, he couldn't keep up. Moreover, the Gu family has no background, and he has no foreign aid. Ours Behavior is bound by order, and it must be done in a business-like manner, and there is no way to give him favoritism."

She paused: "The resources of our Lu family will not be used until he is promoted to the super-dimensional level. So I am inclined to bring him to the Lu family to train him slowly from scratch. It is better than losing his life."

Lu Zicheng fell into silence.

"You have to know that once you join the plan of Qilin Fairy Palace, you will trade your life for resources."

Lu Zijin paused every word.

"However, if he misses the Qilin Fairy Palace, that child may really have no chance, and he will definitely die at the age of forty."

Lu Zicheng said hesitantly: "You said Professor Gu is such a powerful person, why doesn't he know how to leave something good for his son? If he wakes up, won't he be bullied?"

"How do you know if you don't?"

Lu Zijin rolled his eyes: "Gu Ci'an, the sixth child, buried treasures in seventy-four cellars in a secret base, maybe where his son will go in the future, will he trigger his father's treasure chest trap?"

Lu Zicheng asked, "What should we do now?"

"It's a simple matter. Tell him what's at stake."

Lu Zijin said lightly: "You choose your own path."

At half past nine in the evening, Gu Jianlin was at home clearing away the plates on the dining table.

About seven or eight plates, let alone a grain of rice, not even a drop of oil left.

After returning from the Qilin Immortal Palace, his physical condition was a little strange, and he was always tormented by weakness and hunger.

Weakness also said that as long as you rest well, it is not very uncomfortable.

That kind of hunger is the most deadly, tormenting him all the time, but it still can't be solved.

No matter how much he overeats, the black unicorn in his mind is still extremely hungry.

It has to be said that Su Youzhu is really a caring and good girl. After seeing his appetite increase, she specially made a few more dishes for him, and watched him eat all of them, her whole body was stupefied.

Then he looked at the released prisoner and asked him if he wanted to eat more.

Gu Jianlin thought to himself that this hunger couldn't be solved anyway, so he didn't bother her anymore.

Mom and Uncle Su won't be back until tomorrow night.

There are warm lights in the house, and there are only two brothers and sisters.

At this moment, Su Youzhu was fiddling with cosmetics in the room, and by the way, she had a phone call with her sister.

"Youzhu, your parents are not at home recently, how does it feel to live a two-person world with him?"

The smiling Yu Jieyin sounded like she was deliberately flirting.

Su Youzhu's calm voice came from the crack of the door: "It's okay, he's very polite, clean, and helps me with my homework. It's just that he's a bit too outsider. Recently, he's been doing odd jobs for me. The family subsidizes living expenses."

"Oh, that's not it. Of course I know that he is obedient, polite and good-looking. I'm asking how you feel when you get along with him. After all, you are all of the same age. How do you feel differently?"

My sister's voice came from the phone again.

This time, Su Youzhu pondered for a full three seconds: "Well, old age?"

puff.

Gu Jianlin almost couldn't hold back anymore, he never expected such an answer.

What is old age!

He didn't want to listen any more, and was going back to his room after washing the dishes.

As a result, there were still whispers in the next bedroom.

"What is old age? How old are you?"

"In short, there is a feeling of becoming a mother in advance."

"Is that an exaggeration?"

"Well, getting along during this time has taught me the greatness of every mother."

Gu Jianlin closed the door silently, blocked the voices of the two sisters, and wiped his face.

He shook his head and smiled wryly, looking at the time.

It's almost ten o'clock.

The temperature in Fengcheng has changed a lot, and it's only the beginning of April that there is a hint of summer.

The sea breeze poured in from the window, with a slightly damp salty taste.

Gu Jianlin stood by the window, silently looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, and suddenly froze.

Because on the pitch-black sea, there was a scarlet light at some point.

Thick as blood.

He suddenly looked up, only to see that the moon in the sky turned into a huge blood moon!

The pitch-black night was illuminated by the blood moon, and the former abyss was replaced by endless light. Countless pitch-black spheres were suspended above the sky. They were so huge, like planets with backlight.

A series of light wheels releasing strange light surround these planets.

One can vaguely see broken buildings that are withering and dusty, suspended between these planets.

As if in destruction, as if collapsing.

It seems... It's collapsing!

And above the dark sea, at the place closest to the sky, there is a huge black shadow.

No, that's not a shadow.

It was an island hanging upside down, suspended above the sky.

Under the red moonlight, in the dark night, it is so majestic and majestic, surrounded by clouds and mist.

As if it shouldn't exist in this world.

Anyone who sees this scene will feel that they are as small as an ant!

Gu Jianlin just took a look, and there was a huge roar in his mind.

Because he felt that this island seemed familiar!

The appearance of this island resembles a sleeping unicorn!

Qilin Asgard!

For a moment, something in Gu Jianlin's body seemed to wake up and brought him to another world.

spirituality.

Maybe that's spirituality!

·

·

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems that a century has passed, and it seems that only a moment has passed.

Gu Jianlin woke up again, his expression suddenly alert.

This time, he stood in the endless darkness, with the scarlet moonlight in front of him, and towering and majestic sculptures.

There seemed to be whispering voices in my ears, like the drumbeat of a storm, and like the pouring out of ghosts.

It seemed to be tempting him to make a certain choice.

Those ancient sculptures have different images, as tall as gods, mysterious and majestic.

Some were burly warriors in pitch-black armor.

The most ferocious inheritance path for close combat.

There are also archers on horseback with huge bows strapped to their backs.

There are also Taoist priests holding whisks in their hands and stepping on Yin Yang Tai Chi diagrams.

The last one stood proudly on the altar like a priest singing silent hymns.

In addition to these four largest sculptures, there are countless broken sculptures below.

Some are magicians, some are witches, some are paladins, and so on.

"Ancient Wu, Overlord, Celestial Master, the last one is..."

Gu Jianlin stared at the four sculptures, with vague murmurs echoing in his ears, he actually understood the corresponding names independently.

The four ways of inheritance come from the East.

As for the broken sculptures below, they are all inherited from the west.

"Ancient martial arts should be the strongest way of inheritance in melee combat, while Overlord is a bow and arrow, which should be a way of inheritance for long-range output. As for the celestial master, it is quite easy to understand. It looks like the kind of fancy spells? Then, the last one? What is it?"

Gu Jianlin walked in the darkness, passing these majestic and majestic sculptures, and felt an unprecedented sense of awe.

The next moment, the black unicorn in his mind suddenly changed.

"Roar!"

The black unicorn let out a low growl, and turned to look at the last of the four huge sculptures.

It was a mysterious black shadow standing proudly on the altar, singing hymns silently.

Kamiji!
