The Old Gods Are Whispering

Gu Jianlin walked into the conference room and took a rough look at the investigators present.

The tradition of the Ether Association is to organize each team with three members. There are a total of fifteen investigators present, most of whom have met in the last hunting operation, and only six are unfamiliar faces.

When he saw this arrangement, his heart sank.

Most of this group of people were poisoned and killed in the canteen of Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School last time.

Or he should find a way to do it alone, not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

It won't move.

After walking into this room, he also felt hostile and scrutinizing eyes from all directions, falling on him.

Gu Jianlin frowned and looked up.

There are three people sitting in the middle of the seats, two men and one woman.

The most conspicuous one was wearing a white suit, with black hair combed back neatly, with a cold and serious face, especially with a hint of gold in his eyes, sharp and majestic like a white tiger, quite imposing.

The teenager who looked like a twin brother was sitting beside him, but he was relatively lazy, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The last one is a girl with dyed blond hair, her face is dotted with delicate and enchanting makeup, she is wearing a cool short dress, the hem of the skirt barely covers her thighs, revealing a pair of white and delicate long legs, and she is stepping on flip-flops .

That uncomfortable, scrutinizing gaze came from them.

Gu Jianlin had read their information.

This is currently the No. 1 team, and everyone is a C-level investigator.

Yan Ye, currently ranked second among the rookies, is said to have the strength of the second level, but he can cross the third level at any time, and has a deep background in the upper echelon of the association, and he is truly the second generation.

And his two teammates ranked third and fourth respectively.

Yan Feng is his younger brother, who is of the ancient martial arts path, but his rank is a little lower.

It is worth noting that there is a very interesting entry in this person's record.

When the clown defected, he fought against this man.

However, Yan Feng did not win at that time.

The last girl was fourth among the newcomers.

Mu Ziqing, priest path, second-rank nun.

These hostile sights should be the loyal dog faction of the Inquisition Chamber, the local aristocratic family forces in Fengcheng.

Of course, in addition to these hostile and scrutinizing gazes, some people also showed surprise expressions.

"Brother Lin, this way!"

Cheng Youyu stood up and waved to him.

Nie Xiangsi sat beside him, looked at him with bright eyes, and nodded to him shyly.

Gu Jianlin walked over and said politely, "It seems that you are all much better."

Cheng Youyu felt a little embarrassed when he remembered what happened in the cafeteria at that time. He scratched his head and said, "Hahaha, it was thanks to you last time. If Brother Lin didn't take action, we might have died."

Nie Xiangsi also whispered, "I haven't thanked you yet, thank you."

The team leader of the action team was sitting next to them, obviously also from the first team.

"Thank you."

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly.

Compared with others, these three people are quite friendly.

Because after they thanked them, Gu Jianlin immediately heard a disdainful sneer.

"Ignore them."

Cheng Youyu actually had a wink, and quickly asked: "Brother Lin, why don't you sit next to us, there should be someone in charge of the operation coming to talk later."

Zhang Cheng moved his body to make a space available, and said politely, "Come and sit by our side."

Nie Xiangsi seemed a little shy, she lowered her head and dared not look at him.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a second: "No, thank you."

Obviously, most people still don't like him very much.

He didn't need to implicate these three people because of himself.

Gu Jianlin went straight to the back corner and sat down.

At this time, he found that there were seven groups in total, but only five teams had been formed so far.

Suddenly, clear and cold footsteps sounded.

The door of the conference hall was gently pushed open, and a white-haired girl walked in with a huge piano case on her back.

She was wearing a black sun hat and a one-shoulder white casual shirt, revealing her snow-white shoulders and delicate collarbone. The light blue jeans set off a pair of delicate and well-proportioned long legs, and she wore a pair of white sneakers.

The shadow of the brim of the hat covered her delicate face as white as snow, but one could feel her sharp eyes.

She is only twenty years old at most, and her figure is tall and graceful, without losing the youthful beauty of a girl.

Of course, beauty is beauty, and the smell of danger is the most obvious.

When she appeared, a strong sense of oppression enveloped the audience.

There is no doubt that this is the current No. 1 rookie in Fengcheng District.

Tang Ling, the way of the sword sect, a third-level sword idiot.

Code name, Thunder.

After Tang Ling came in, she sat on the other side of the corner without greeting anyone.

Gu Jianlin was a little curious about this person, and tried to analyze and profile him from his appearance and clothing.

It's just that when he stared at the girl, a hallucinatory scene flashed in front of his eyes.

The white-haired girl disappeared.

Instead, there was a red-haired charming girl, arrogant and awe-inspiring, charming and fierce.

Seems like swords and roses.

In an instant, the profiled image disappeared without a trace.

"Is that an extraordinary image? It feels a bit wrong."

Gu Jianlin said in his heart.

Ever since he traveled to the Qilin Fairy Palace, he seemed to have the ability to distinguish extraordinary creatures.

The premise is that the opponent needs to activate the ability.

But what I saw this time didn't seem to be the image of the inheritance path.

The white-haired girl seemed to feel his gaze, and cast a glance indifferently, her eyes were strange.

Gu Jianlin's eyes were also weird.

Because they discovered that the other party was a lone wolf like themselves, without teammates.

Suddenly, the lights in the conference hall went out.

On the projection screen, a mediocre but majestic and cold face was reflected.

"Hello, newcomers."

He said indifferently: "I am the highest person in charge of this operation and also your instructor. My name is Chen Bojun. I believe that after today's mission operation, you will all remember my name. Because I will let you realize , how cruel the extraordinary world is to you, and how weak and naive you are."

Coming up is a speech of dismounting Mawei.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Now, start the roll call."

"The first group, Yan Ye, Yan Feng, Mu Ziqing."

"The second group, Zhang Cheng, Cheng Youyu, Nie Xiangsi."

"The third group, Ye Xuan, Liu Qing..."

"Group Six, Tang Ling."

"The seventh group, Gu Jianlin."

On the projection screen, Chen Bojun raised his head, frowned and said, "Sorry, I just came back from a business trip, so I don't know much about the situation. Tang Ling, Gu Jianlin, why don't you two have teammates?"

The investigators turned their heads and looked at a man and a woman in the corner.

Tang Ling lowered her head to play with her mobile phone, without any intention of answering.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Instructor Chen."

But Yan Ye suddenly said: "Instructor Chen, I also want to ask this question. The minimum requirement for the suppression operation planned by the Immortal Palace this time is also the second level. I want to know why there is a zero-level god division mixed in?"

"Yeah, I'm also somewhat curious."

Yan Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this here for meritorious service?"

The investigators looked at each other in blank dismay, which was indeed against the rules.

On the projection screen, Chen Bojun also seemed a little hesitant, looked down at the list report, raised his eyebrows and said:

"So that's how it is. Even though you're a zero-level priest, do you have any experience in leapfrog challenges? Defeat a first-order magician as an ordinary person, and with the strength of a zero-level priest, solo kill with a mythical weapon and master highly distorted weapons." Second-order magician."

He paused, showing an expression of appreciation: "The record is outstanding."

Someone suddenly said: "This is not a solo kill. Our operation team had already severely injured the clown before losing his fighting ability under the effect of Necromancer Gu. This cannot be called a solo kill."

"That's right."

Someone echoed: "Isn't it a bit too much to talk about single killing?"

These two people are the gods of the original action group, and the second-level young commanders.

"Pull it down, you are not ashamed, I am still ashamed."

Cheng Youyu blushed with embarrassment: "Later, it was appraised by priests. The little damage caused by the action team was not painful to the clown at all. A classic shot is a big disability, right? Why don't you Say you and Uncle Ma's combined assets are the richest man in the country?"

As soon as this remark came out, the two priests frowned. They also seemed to be twin brothers, and their appearance was 90% similar.

"Speaking of the clown incident, I actually have something to say."

Gu Jianlin was condescending, and said calmly: "You two, like me, are all god priests, right?"

"how?"

The twin priests turned to look at him.

"Necromantic Gu should also be life, right? Why don't you feel the rhythm of life of Necrotic Gu, even though you are the most comprehensive way of God? You also let him poison the food?"

Gu Jianlin glanced at them indifferently: "Shensi's most basic ability, don't you know how to use it?"

On the projection screen, Chen Bojun looked at them with great interest, and said lightly: "Although the Gu master pathway is not the oldest pathway, and the number of pathways is extremely rare, it is not without records. Necrotic Gu is indeed life."

The faces of the two gods changed from cloudy to cloudy, and they felt that they were looking at them from all directions, and they were extremely ashamed.

The toes are almost out of three rooms and one living room.

As for why they didn't perceive it, there is only one explanation.

They were careless.

Or feel that the task is too simple and get carried away.

"So I think, even if we want to dislike each other, it's because I dislike you both."

Gu Jianlin said calmly: "A group of second-orders can't do good things, and I, a newcomer of zero-order, is needed to wipe your ass. If there are still people who make such low-level mistakes in this operation, then I suggest you quit .”

What a taunt.

Almost everyone who participated in that operation felt an arrow in their chest.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Jianlin looked at the three people in the second group: "No offense intended."

"I have experience in leapfrog killing, and I have two mythical weapons in my hands."

He said without a trace of fireworks: "With my strength, it is no problem to join this mission. I don't need teammates. I can do more than a dozen things that the second-order combined can't do by myself. And I heard that someone in the action team was defeated by the clown..."

This sentence is not finished, but the meaning is very clear.

If you cook for yourself, don't question others.

Yan Ye raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.

The corners of Yan Feng's eyes twitched. He had indeed participated in the clown hunting mission, and it was a one-on-one encounter, but in the end it was a disastrous failure.

At that time, he was only at the first level. If we meet again now, the ending will definitely be different.

"Calm down, it's pointless to dwell on this, remember the purpose of this operation, and don't affect the high-level rating of us."

Mu Ziqing said in a low voice: "The most important thing is to win the quota to enter the fairy palace."

The Yan family brothers looked at each other and sat down one after another.

"It looks very confident."

Chen Bojun glanced at the interaction of these young people and narrowed his eyes: "Interesting, so... where is Tang Ling?"

"I am a third-level sword idiot, with the ability to leapfrog fighting, and I carry three alchemy weapons."

Tang Ling played with her mobile phone with her head down, without raising her head, she said, "I don't need teammates, I'm at the captain level."

Impeccable grounds.

"Very well, neither of them need teammates."

Chen Bojun said with great interest: "I hope your strength can match your arrogance."
