The Old Gods Are Whispering

The sea breeze shuttles on the deck, and the large parasols move slightly in the wind.

Gu Jianlin sat at the dining table, stirring mashed potatoes: "I haven't congratulated you yet, you have been promoted to the fourth rank."

Tang Ling hummed, and fiddled with a cup of hot latte in front of her: "Well, you are also at the third level."

Then he tore open seven or eight packets of sugar, and poured them in all at once.

All the waiters next to him were dumbfounded.

The music in the restaurant was light and melodious, and a twilight slanted down, reflecting light spots on the wooden boards.

The restaurant in the base of Heiyun Walled City was remodeled from a huge ancient ship. It is said that it was an ancient artifact accidentally discovered when exploring the seabed of Qilin Fairy Palace. It has a history of more than 600 years.

The interior space of the cabin is enough to accommodate 800 people, and the deck can also be used for alfresco dining. The elegant and exquisite decoration style and retro interior, as well as the beautiful scenery of the coast, are very popular among young people.

There are many couples who like to come here for a date after returning from the Asgard.

"Are you sure you still want to drink?"

Gu Jianlin was lost in thought as he looked at the coffee with an outrageous sugar content.

The parrot on his shoulder was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Ling raised her awe-inspiring eyes with suspicion.

Then he drank the latte as if nothing had happened, with a very comfortable expression.

"It's okay, as long as you are happy."

Gu Jianlin was speechless, so he could only ask, "I haven't seen you for a while."

"During this period of time, I have been busy practicing profiling and promotion. I didn't expect that the Yan family was really taken away in the end. Your performance in the forbidden area of ​​Westport is very good, which is very memorable."

Tang Ling glanced at him, and said reservedly: "Well, is someone recruiting you to join the team now?"

Gu Jianlin remembered: "Yes, gold and silver."

"You agree?"

Tang Ling's beautiful eyes became sharper.

Gu Jianlin shook his head.

"The Golden Squad was formed by Ying Changsheng, this person is too pretentious."

Tang Ling was very satisfied with this, and her voice was pleasant: "As for the Silver Squad, it was formed by my senior sister."

Gu Jianlin asked curiously, "Are you in the Silver Squad?"

"Of course not, how could I be with her?"

Tang Ling narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said indifferently: "It's best if you don't join the team, because in the entire Omega sequence, no one is worthy of your ability. Of course, there is only one exception."

Gu Jianlin frowned and asked, "Who?"

Tang Ling pointed to herself: "Me."

Her face was cold and proud, and her white hair fluttered in the wind like snow.

Gu Jianlin didn't know what she meant, so he could only ask, "Tell me about what happened today."

Tang Ling rolled up her long snow-white hair: "To make a long story short, we probably opened up wasteland in the forest of burials and entered a living burial pit. There are many living corpses and a few living ancient ancestors there. Its combat effectiveness is not particularly strong, but it is also relatively tricky."

"According to the division of labor in the team, I stayed alone to deal with dozens of living corpses, and by the way, I protected the nano-soldiers in the dawn battle sequence. Ten of them went to chase those ancient ancestors, and then encountered an ambush by the Youying Group."

She paused: "At that moment, I saw a strange blood mist."

Gu Jianlin frowned: "Blood mist?"

Tang Ling nodded: "In the blood mist, I saw a vague thing that made me feel afraid."

Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment: "I really have to be afraid of making ten fifth-order disappear at the same time."

Tang Ling pulled back the chair, crossed her slender and delicate snow-white legs, and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "So this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to blackmail the court. The person in charge of the Omega sequence Although he is Director Chen, any actions he takes must be reported for approval."

"In other words, it is the trial court that is really responsible for this matter. The trial court is indeed powerful now, but that is because many forces have invested in them. What will happen if the heirs of these forces die?"

Stirring the cup of hot latte, she said, "What's more, Li Hanting is also in the team."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "Who is Li Hanting here?"

Tang Ling even tilted her head and thought for a while: "If I remember correctly, it is the person you ridiculed as trash and rubbish, the grandson of the saint Li Qingsong, who was supported by the Tribunal in the Omega sequence, the so-called genius .”

Oh, I remembered.

Gu Jianlin's mental state is not very good today, and his brain is not enough.

"The people in the Tribunal are very sorry for their lives. They must be praying now that the divination can produce results as soon as possible. As long as the mission is not so dangerous, they will not use us and use others."

Tang Ling sipped her coffee lightly: "As long as we can prove that this mission is indeed dangerous enough, then they must compromise with us. After all, the top ten members are missing, and everyone else is useless."

"In that case, they can only choose us."

She rested her chin on her hand: "And as long as we bring rhythm in the forum and exaggerate the eerie atmosphere, no one will dare to take this task. I am the only first echelon who came back from Asgard. As long as I pretend to be Who would dare to go with a frightened look? No one would dare to go.”

Gu Jianlin understood that, as expected of Her Royal Highness, her thoughts were vicious.

"The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart!"

cried the parrot.

There was a snap.

Gu Jianlin pulled it back to the dining table, then picked up a piece of mashed potatoes and stuffed it into its mouth: "Shut up!"

Tang Ling raised her beautiful eyes, her eyes were strange: "This parrot really matches you."

Gu Jianlin said with a straight face: "What do you mean, I'm not, I don't."

Tang Ling took out her phone, opened the game, started recharging, and continued to draw cards:

"Don't you know? The reputation of you and this bird has spread. The Ethereum Association officially has a mobile game "Ancient Gods". You are the newly released five-star SSR human rights card, chair killer Gu Jianlin. It comes with super output and taunts, even if you bring a pet to the full level, you can also use all taunts, I have kryptonized 24,000 today just to draw you."

Gu Jianlin's eyes darkened: "What is it?"

At this moment, the parrot was stunned.

Tang Ling said solemnly, "It's shipped."

She handed out the phone, and the screen shone with golden light.

Gu Jianlin glanced over, and saw a boy with a two-dimensional painting style, a dusty shirt and slim pants, and a chair in his hand, giving off a sinister aura.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a green-haired parrot on the shoulder.

"Who did this?"

he couldn't help asking.

"It's too empty."

After Tang Ling took out the card, there was a touch of joy in her awe-inspiring eyes, and she admired the card surface happily: "Well, the background story is quite realistic, and I am really envious. Although I am also a five-star SSR in this game, it is obviously not as good as You're hot."

She said: "Passive skills, extraordinary challenges. Active skills, being kind to others..."

Gu Jianlin put his hand on his forehead, he wondered if he could blow up Taixu's server.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Tang Ling put down her phone and said seriously, "You really need your help in this matter, so I asked you to cooperate. As for the strategy file I want, the most valuable one should be the Fate Clay Tablet."

Gu Jianlin frowned: "Fate tablet?"

This was the first time he heard the word.

"Well, that is a clay tablet that has been handed down from the ancient times and records the secrets of the ancient gods."

Tang Ling stared at him and explained softly: "The words engraved on the clay tablet of fate are the mysterious words of the ancient gods. Few people can understand their meaning. Many people tried to interpret after getting the clay tablet, but they all went crazy in the end. According to the legend The clay tablet records the true history and secrets of the ancient god race. Your father got a clay tablet from the Qilin Immortal Palace back then, and handed it over to the Ethereal Association, and experts are in charge of interpretation."

She paused: "What role does Venerable Qilin play in history? How many ancient supreme beings has he descended to the earth? What kind of authority does he hold? What has he been like in the past two thousand years?"

It's hard for Gu Jianlin not to be moved, all these are what he desperately wants to know.

"The Venerable Qilin is too mysterious. At present, only the Ether Association may hold his secrets."

Tang Ling stirred the coffee, and her slender and white knuckles were as transparent as jade in the sunlight: "The Ether Association got this information by reading the clay tablet of fate. Of course, I heard from my teacher that due to individual differences, the interpretation of the clay tablet is difficult. What you see when you board is different.”

Gu Jianlin's heart trembled slightly, thinking that it was so.

It has to be said that this thing seems to be quite important to him.

I don't know if there is an interpretation of the fate tablet in the documents left by Lao Gu.

According to his personality, most likely there are.

"What I want is the original text, which is the real tablet of fate."

Tang Ling said firmly: "We can also read the results of the interpretations of the predecessors, but we may not have to tell them what we have interpreted. This is our own treasure."

Gu Jianlin commented: "For the competition of the Omega sequence, this is really crucial."

"The most important thing is the thing in the blood mist."

Tang Ling seemed to have made up her mind, and took out a painting from her white satchel: "This is what I profiled."

Gu Jianlin looked at the painting and fell silent.

"What is this thing?"

The parrot yelled.

Gu Jianlin swears to God, he takes things very seriously.

It's just that when he saw this painting, he still couldn't hold back.

Because the painting is a piece of red graffiti, and then the four different deformities are outlined with a pen.

Live like an alien.

"Is this your... profile?"

He asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you didn't take your sister's children's graffiti by mistake?"

Tang Ling looked at him with a hint of anger and embarrassment, and a blush appeared on her pretty face like frost and snow.

Her voice was rare, and she whispered: "I don't have a sister, this is what I drew."

"Feel sorry."

Gu Jianlin pondered for a moment: "Well, are you not good at profile, or are you not good at painting?"

Tang Linghu questioned, "What's the difference?"

Gu Jianlin pondered for a long time, a little hard to say, and said in a low voice: "I can't figure it out, is this a problem with logical reasoning, or a problem with drawing..."

The parrot shouted: "What he means is, I don't know whether you are handicapped or brain-impaired!"

For a moment, a trace of anger flashed in Tang Ling's beautiful eyes.

"Gu Jianlin."

"Um?"

"Can a person like you really find a girlfriend?"

"I don't want to look for it, and I won't look for it."

Gu Jianlin folded up the children's graffiti, and he might laugh out loud after reading it.

"Give me back the graffiti!"

Tang Ling took back the painting quite viciously, and stretched out her thin white right hand.

Dude, you called it graffiti yourself.

Gu Jianlin looked at her hand and was taken aback.

"We can perform attunement through spiritual exchange, haven't you tried it?"

Tang Ling turned her head away from him, and said coldly: "As long as we hold hands, the two of us exchange spirituality, and you can see the picture in my mind. There is plenty of time, and you can watch it many times."

Gu Jianlin thought to himself, "Has the divination team exchanged spirituality with you?"

"I'm rather shy of strangers, so I found a fifth-order witch who I'm fairly familiar with to empathize with me."

Tang Ling cleared her throat, her voice was cold: "So it depends on your profile, whether you can find the key evidence."

Gu Jianlin understood, and held her soft hand without saying a word.

Interlocking fingers.

Well, this is the first time I hold a girl's hand, and it feels good.

After practicing sword all the year round, there was not even a single cocoon left. It should be the effect of the secret medicine.

Gu Jianlin was thinking wildly in his mind.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Yo, Brother Lin, what a coincidence?"

Cheng Youyu, a little fat man, approached with a smile, and Nie Xiangsi and Zhang Cheng also followed.

Gu Jianlin didn't expect to see an acquaintance again.

Just as Cheng Youyu was about to say something, he saw the white-haired girl turn around and raise a pair of awe-inspiring beautiful eyes.

It was chilly.

He blurted out: "Damn!"

When Zhang Cheng saw this person, he quickly bowed in fright: "Senior Sister Tang, good afternoon."

Nie Xiangsi was also a little afraid of the princess, so she bowed slightly and said, "Senior Sister Tang."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on their two interlocking hands at the same time.

"Uh, what are you two?"

An awkward atmosphere is pervasive.

It seems to disturb someone's date!

Gu Jianlin didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Tang Ling calmly got up with the piano case in her hand, resolutely gave up on continuing to face each other, and sat next to him, near the fence of the deck, as if she didn't like contact with people she didn't know very well.
