The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 34 Father's Mission

   When Jing Ci returned to the park, the old man by the lake was still sitting in a wheelchair, holding a fishing rod.

   But there are more messy things in the fish basket.

   "Teacher, every time I see you fishing, I feel that we don't need to open a grocery store at all."

  Jing Ci put his hands in his pockets and said with emotion: "Selling scraps is enough."

  The old man was as motionless as a mountain, without turning his head, and ignored him at all.

   "I've done everything I need to do."

   Jing Ci thought of something, smiled slightly: "I have to say, that kid is really smart."

  The old man held the fishing rod, stared at the sparkling lake, and said, "You rarely praise others."

Jing Ci said frankly: "Being able to single-handedly kill a first-order magician before awakening, mastering the god-servant transformation at zero-level, and counter-killing a highly distorted second-level magician, this talent is indeed stronger than I was back then. Much more. In a sense, this child is a little more vigorous than his father..."

  The old man said lightly: "It still needs to be polished."

  Jing Ci raised his eyebrows: "Would you like to see it again?"

   "You have to put some pressure on him. Those idiots from the Aether Association are good candidates."

  The old man Youyou said: "A good knife has to be sharpened repeatedly to show its sharpness."

  Jing Ci did not deny this, but asked another question: "I'm afraid that if you don't do it in time, what should I do if he is noticed by the others after he really grows up?"

  The old man said displeasedly: "What is his way?"

  Jing Ci replied: "Shensi."

  The old man asked again: "Who is the strongest priest?"

  Jing Ci paused, and replied, "It's you."

   "That's it, I'm the strongest priest."

  The old man said indifferently: "Who can beat me?"

   "Makes sense."

Jing Ci suddenly said: "But, teacher, aren't you afraid that he will change jobs? Although you have indeed proved that Shensi may be the most powerful of all the oldest paths, but it is undeniable that Jianzong and Zhangui Quite tempting too…”

  The old man was silent for a second: "The child didn't ask, what is our purpose?"

  Jing Ci shook his head: "I didn't ask a single word, probably waiting for us to clarify his doubts in person."

   "Concentration."

  The old man said lightly: "It's good not to be in a hurry."

"teacher."

Jing Ci hesitated for a moment: "I know, you want to continue to observe him for a while. But more importantly, you don't want him to bear the karma brought by you at this stage. But the problem is, you also know that the Ether Association This time's attachment to Qilin Fairy Palace, if they insist that Gu Ci'an really left something for that child, will they..."

   "No problem."

  The old man's eyes were as indifferent as mist, and his voice became erratic: "I will always watch."

  I saw ripples suddenly appeared on the sparkling lake surface, the lake water seemed to be boiling, and the fish schools at the bottom of the lake were swimming restlessly.

  The moonlight was overwhelmed by darkness, but a huge shadow was reflected in the lake.

   That is the dark cloud that gathers above the sky.

  The black clouds gathered and churned, as if outlining a majestic and terrifying face, overlooking the city below.

  The ward was empty, Gu Jianlin was lying on the bed, silently enduring the tearing pain, his thoughts racing.

   "There is a third person in the school who is at least on the same level as Lu Zi?"

   This is really weird.

  Before he acted, he almost used profiling to find out all the sublimators in the entire school.

  Cheng Youyu is an exception, he is a student himself.

   Moreover, Gu Jianlin can roughly guess that the fat man's identity is not simple.

   After all, after the clown tortured and killed animals, the fat man reminded himself not to go out if there was nothing to do.

   Unless that third person never showed up.

   But the question is, why would such a person want to save him?

   Gu Jianlin was puzzled, his brain began to ache again, and his body also ached.

  If he was still an ordinary person, he would have passed out long ago.

  Since becoming a sublimator, many things have changed. For example, he found that his energy has become much fuller, his thinking ability has become stronger, and his nerves have even become more developed.

   Along with it, the ability to endure pain has also become stronger.

  He looked down at the phone screen, the time was 9:30 in the evening, and it was almost time for self-study in the evening.

   There is an extra message in WeChat.

   "Where did you go?"

   Simple three words.

   Su Youzhu sent it over.

  Gu Jianlin replied: "The class is too boring, go to the Internet cafe with your friends. Go to bed early, good night."

  Anyway, the reason was given, and it is up to her to believe it or not.

  As long as mother doesn't know.

  If the incident happens at that time, it will be two people who explode together to welcome the whipping of the rolling pin and the broom.

  Gu Jianlin turned off his phone, then picked up the reagents on the bedside table, and drank them all in one gulp.

  This secret medicine has a bitter taste of herbs. After entering the throat, it feels like swallowing a piece of ice. The cold feeling spreads all over the body, and even the tearing pain is relieved a lot.

  At the same time, a sense of coolness flows deep in the soul, converging into a touch of spirituality.

   It is indeed very small, probably only one-tenth of his total spiritual power.

   But enough.

  To be on the safe side, Gu Jianlin first activated the lock of non-existence, and saw the silver-white chains vibrate, suspended in mid-air, lingering around his side, criss-crossing, forming an enchantment.

  The presence of the entire hospital bed has been erased.

   Then he took off the requiem bell and injected a touch of spirituality to wake it up.

  Amid Qingyue's ringtone, a black halo diffused like mist, revealing a broken soul.

  The soul of the clown.

  The soul imprisoned by the requiem bell generally has two uses.

  First, as a reserve of spiritual materials.

  It is usually used to make some extraordinary items, such as secret medicine and alchemy weapons.

  Second, that is slavery or torture.

  After the soul is drawn out, although it does not have the ability to fight, it still retains memory, and its self-consciousness will be directly erased, like a string puppet, unconditionally obeying the master's orders.

   Finally reached this step.

Gu Jianlin took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice: "I have read your information, and you participated in the mining project of Qilin Fairy Palace half a year ago as a dimension inspector. At that time, you and Gu Ci'an were what relationship?"

   After a moment of silence, the clown's fragmented soul wavered faintly.

   There is no sound coming out, only the fluctuation of mental thoughts.

  Gu Jianlin felt what he meant naturally.

   “We were still colleagues at that time.”

   This is the clown's answer.

  Gu Jianlin asked, "What is Gu Ci'an's job?"

"At the beginning of the Qilin Fairy Palace project started half a year ago, several front-line archaeological investigators from the association disappeared mysteriously. They were later judged to have defected with ancient books and suspected to have entered the Kylin Fairy Palace. Gu Ci'an was ordered to come to the coast of the East China Sea. Responsible for investigating this defection and tracking them down."

   The clown replied.

  Gu Jianlin was stunned, because he immediately thought of the five people he met in the ancient tomb.

   "Investigate defectors?"

  He frowned and asked, "And then?"

  The clown was silent again for a moment.

"Because eight years ago, when we first located the dimension of Qilin Asgard, there were several accidents. The most serious one killed more than 200 people, and members of the Ether Association defected. "

"Gu Ci'an and the current head of Fengcheng District, Lu Zijin, were the ones who dealt with the accident back then. Their teammate Yan Shi fell into madness during the survey mission. For their own advancement, they held a **** ceremony and killed Many investigators."

   "Lu Zijin's younger brother, Lu Zicheng, was a student of Master Yan back then, and he is also one of the survivors."

  Gu Jianlin was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Captain Lu to have such a past.

   "Therefore, the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. As a super elite of the night watchmen, Gu Ci'an returned to Fengcheng."

   "Gu Ci'an has two tasks, one of which is to track down the out-of-control Night Watch teammates, and the other is to investigate defectors."

"With Gu Ci'an's ability, it is not difficult to investigate those defectors. Even without the help of ancient books, he quickly confirmed the location of Asgard and found a way to enter Asgard. In the Ether Association, he He is the best investigator and the archaeologist who knows the history of the ancient gods best."

   "His arrival has made a breakthrough in the stagnant mining plan."

   "But when we tried to enter Asgard for the first time, we encountered an extremely strange thing..."
