The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 14 Selection of Inheritance Path

   As night falls, there is a building in the neon-flashing neighborhood with a holographic starry light curtain.

  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, people tend not 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 came out.

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

   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.

  In this conference hall, there are huge holographic screens in all directions. The information flow from major cities in the coastal area is surging like a sea tide. Countless red dots are marked on the map, and dazzling lights are flashing.

   "Jiqing Street, Shibei District, Fengcheng City, building No. 231, found a mentally infected person!"

   "In Huaiyang District of Linhai City, there was a vicious injury accident caused by fallen people. Please send investigators for support!"

   "The excavation project at the ruins of the Qilin Fairy Palace will start at ten o'clock tonight. All departments should prepare in advance."

  Lu Zicheng is not used to these things. The Ethereum Association has 13 branches in China, and tens of thousands of investigators are distributed all over the country to deal with various emergencies.

  High-level executives 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!

  In fact, after joining the Ether Association for a period of time, most sublimators will find that they have just changed to work in another place. Not only are their lives 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 that person?"

  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 thrown on the table.

   "Is this the newcomer this year? I'm very dissatisfied!"

  Behind the desk, someone stood 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.

  Unexpectedly, it was the voice of a royal sister.

  The female secretary said tremblingly: "Minister Lu, the quality of this newcomer 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 held in Lu Zichen's right hand accelerated burning instantly and turned into ashes.

   "Are you so brave that you dare to let my mother 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 from the 70th 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 sis."

  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 has strategic strength. Most people can't do a few tricks in front of her.

  The person who understands current affairs is Junjie, and I will find an opportunity to settle accounts with her in the future.

  At this time, the green-haired parrot rolled its eyes 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 has fast legs and 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 Zi froze.

   "Although this parrot is an extraordinary creature, it can't read minds. It can say this. Someone must have repeated it in front of him before it can remember and learn this sentence."

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

   "Yes, 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 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 Huazi.

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

  Minister Lu said lightly: "By the way, I have seen the WeChat. Gu Ci'an's son has awakened, right?"

  Lu Zicheng asked, "Sister, what do you think?"

   "Gu Ci'an's son, uh..."

   Minister Lu tilted his head and thought for a while: "It is possible, but it is a bit troublesome."

  Lu Zicheng frowned: "Why bother?"

   "What Gu Ci'an has done, you know in your heart that even if you have the qualifications of a sublimator, this special status needs to be approved by the vote of thirteen branch ministers in the country."

  Minister Lu waved his hand: "Do you think it's troublesome? If you don't use my brother's favor for this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will be useless."

   The silence lasted for a moment, and Lu Zicheng said, "Then use it."

  Lu Zijin squinted at him: "Huh? How can my brother's favor be used so easily? Isn't it different if you bring him to the Lu family?"

   "Lu Zijin."

  Lu Zicheng stared into her eyes and paused every word: "That's a self-sublimation person."

"Oh?"

  Hearing this, Lu Zijin felt a little moved, touched his chin and thought for a moment: "A self-sublimation person? That's really good. If you cherish your talents, you can bring him into the Lu family for training, but why do you have to join the association?"

Lu Zicheng couldn't help but said: "If you don't join the association, how can you find out about his father? And if he goes to the Lu family, he has to go to North America, away from his family and his hometown. Besides, our country is a land of divine revelation, and there are no opportunities." Same! Where are the super ancient ruins in North America?"

   "However, if you want him to join the Aether Association, do you know how many more reports I have to write for it? I still have to ask my senior brother, and I'm so annoyed."

  Lu Zijin yawned lazily, like a Persian cat: "Besides, if he is really allowed to join the association like his father, he will have to bear a lot of karma for his father. Are you sure he can hold it?"

   After speaking, she jumped off the chair and was about to leave.

  Lu Zicheng saw that she was about to leave, and said in a hurry: "Sister, that kid is very good-looking."

   With a snap, Lu Zijin's footsteps stopped.

   Seeing this, Lu Zicheng continued, "Better looking than his father."

  Lu Zijin turned her head silently.

   "Handsome and talented. If I take it back to the Lu family according to what you said, I will probably be taken away by my father and the others. You will lose a self-sublimated person who is both good-looking and talented."

Lu Zicheng went directly to the computer behind the desk, and tapped the keyboard twice: "And you, the minister, are checked and balanced by the court all day, isn't it annoying? Let me tell you, his talent is really no better than his father's." Weak, if you bring him out, you will definitely slap the court in the face."

  On the holographic projection screen, a boy in a blue and white striped school uniform was reflected.

  Black broken hair, delicate and clean eyebrows and eyes, a sculpture-like face, and a slender and tall figure.

  Especially those eyes, as clear and transparent as a lake, filled with a trace of cloud and mist.

   "Well, why didn't you say it earlier?"

  Lu Zijin looked at the young man carefully, his delicate fair cheeks were slightly flushed.

  His hands covered with red nail polish covered his slightly hot face.

  She woke up suddenly, and said seriously: "Actually, have I ever told you that I prefer writing reports to fighting? Well, it's been a long time since I exchanged feelings with my brother. I'll call him later."

   At 9:30 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 Asgard, his physical condition was a little strange, and he was always tormented by weakness and hunger.

  Weakness also said that as long as you have a good rest, 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.

   I have to say that Su Youzhu is really a caring and good girl. After seeing that his appetite increased greatly, she specially cooked a few more dishes for him, and then watched him eat all of them, completely 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 simply didn't bother her anymore.

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

  The warm lights are on 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 Yujieyin sounded like she was deliberately flirting.

Su Youzhu's calm voice came from the crack of the door: "It's okay, he is very polite and clean, and he will help me with my homework. It's just that he's a bit too outsider. 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 sounded from the phone again.

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

   Poof.

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

  What is old age!

  He didn't want to continue listening, 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 made me understand the greatness of every mother."

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

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

  It's almost ten o'clock.

  The temperature in Fengcheng has changed a lot, and there is a hint of summer in early April.

  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.

   Viscous like blood.

  He raised his head impressively, 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 rays of light surround these planets.

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

   It seems to be destroying, it seems to be collapsing.

  It seems to be... 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.

  It seems that it shouldn't exist in this world.

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

  Gu Jianlin just glanced at it, and a huge roar sounded in his mind.

  Because he felt that this island seemed familiar!

  The appearance of this island resembles a sleeping unicorn!

  Unicorn Asgard!

   For a moment, Gu Jianlin's mind was completely shaken, and something seemed to wake up in his body, taking 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 came to his senses again, his expression suddenly vigilant.

   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 confiding of ghosts.

   It seems 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 tied behind their backs.

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

  The last one stands 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 faint murmurs echoing in his ears, and unexpectedly understood the corresponding names independently.

  Four ways of inheritance originate 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 the overlord is the bow and arrow, which should be the way of inheritance for long-range output. As for the celestial master, it is quite easy to understand. It seems that it is the kind of magic that plays fancy? Then, the last one? What is it?"

  Walking in the darkness, Gu Jianlin passed by these majestic and majestic sculptures, feeling an unprecedented sense of awe.

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

"Roar!"

  The black unicorn let out a faint 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.

   God Division!
