The Old Gods Are Whispering

  Chapter 489 Strange tenant

  On this day, the staff at the headquarters of Deep Space Technology seemed to hear the sound of the world collapsing.

Accompanied by the violent vibration of the building, the glass curtain wall exploded and shot, the ceiling cracked inch by inch, the floating ash poured down like a waterfall, and the steel bars supporting the building also broke. Shocked and speechless by the sudden sound of the siren, he was overwhelmed by great panic.

   Primal Disaster!

   This turned out to be a primitive disaster!

   You must know that this is the capital of magic, the headquarters of the world of order!

  Accompanied by thunderous roars, the pitch-black mist condensed a majestic and terrifying face in the night, as if ancient ghosts and gods were resurrected from the dead, and a pair of fierce golden pupils lit up, igniting the fire of divine wrath.

  He roared in anger, and the breath of death rolled in like a tsunami!

   "Escape!"

  I don’t know who yelled, and the people in the building realized the danger, and turned around and jumped out of the windows to escape. The billowing black mist chased after them, like a deadly **** of death.

  Even the people living in the inner city barrier felt the destructive power. They stopped on the street and took out their mobile phones to take pictures, recording the moment when the building collapsed, as well as the devilish grimaces.

   Only heard a loud bang.

  The ghostly and stern face burst through the building suddenly.

   Countless people were drowned on the spot, howling in agony like ghosts in hell.

  In just a short moment, the Deep Space Headquarters Building seemed to have been weathered for thousands of years, and it was reduced to a decaying ruin standing in the night, leaving only the rugged steel brackets exposed, which were on the verge of breaking.

  People in the streets and alleys looked at this terrifying scene, as if they heard a sacrificial song from the vast ancient times.

   Like falling into an ice cave.

   "Kirin..."

  Rhein whispered.

  The office he was in had been completely destroyed. Whether it was tables and chairs, electrical appliances, or accessories, they were all wiped out in an instant. The ceiling was corroded, and sand and stones slid down.

  His outstretched fingers were filled with black air, and the nails had completely rotted away.

   That was the price he paid for trying to stop that power.

  Although it was nothing to him, it was enough to frighten one's heart.

   "Is this a declaration of war?"

In the barren ruins, Bai Jin raised his cold eyes. His clothes were already festered, but fortunately covered by dust, he didn't look too ugly, but the secretary he regarded as a precious resource didn't even have ashes. The rest, including the expensive alchemy equipment, was also reimbursed. He has lived for more than two hundred years and has never suffered such a humiliation.

   Actually let a junior ride on his head.

  As for the ballpoint pen he threw out just now, it has also been annihilated in the terrifying ancient divine language.

Not only that.

   There were even scorched black, criss-cross writings left in the ruins.

"You do not deserve."

   Of course this was left by Qilin.

  Its meaning probably means that the two of them, father and son, are not worthy of staying in this office.

  Because this is where the president once sat.

   When Qilin came to Shanghai for the first time, he showed jaw-dropping arrogance and rudeness.

  No one can sit in this office without his permission.

No.

  Perhaps in his opinion, without that woman's order, it doesn't deserve to be called order at all!

   “Maybe it’s not just a declaration of war.”

Rhine felt the black air lingering around his fingertips, and said expressionlessly: "According to my speculation, the current Qilin is fully fired, and no seventh-level Qilin in the world can survive under his hands for three minutes. If he It’s the way of killing ghosts, so it’s even more terrifying, it can almost achieve instant kills by leaps and bounds.”

   "I don't even know if the eighth order has the ability to kill him."

  He paused: "Father, the seventh level of the entire Demon City...is in danger."

  Platinum is experienced, so he can naturally feel the power of the syllable just now, and said with a gloomy face: "Then he can kill whoever he wants, and after he is promoted to the Sanctuary, he can still get it?"

  Although she was very reluctant to admit this fact, Rhine chose to remain silent.

  Because judging from the current evidence, this is really the case.

  Once Qilin has been promoted to Sanctuary, it will be very difficult to kill him.

   "Pass my order!"

   Platinum roared: "Chasing, he must not have gone far! As long as I find the Qilin, I will take action myself!"

  The voice of the old man was not loud, but it resounded through the inner city like thunder: "Give me... chase!"

  His pupils were fixed on the direction of the TV tower, and there was no one on the top of the tower.

  ·

  ·

  Gu Jianlin had already put on his hood, and calmly walked downstairs from the safe passage. Of course, he heard the thunderous roar, he was helpless in his exasperation, and angry with shame in his rage.

  Since his parents divorced, he rarely smiles.

  After Lao Gu left, he smiled even less.

   He has laughed only a handful of times since the President left.

  This time, there was a smile on his lips, and he thought it was very interesting from the bottom of his heart.

  I think that when he first used the ancient divine language in Heiyun City Walled City, he almost paid the price with his life. If it wasn't for the dragon marrow liquid, he might still be in a coma until now, and those things would not have happened later.

   Later, when I was in Tokyo, I used the ancient divine language a few times. Although I didn't die on the spot, it was dangerous every time. Fortunately, there was a bad woman's blood to save my life, so that no accidents would happen.

   Now he no longer needs any external force to use the ancient divine language in the real world.

   No longer need to pay such a painful price.

   Just a little tired.

"As expected of the boss, in front of such majesty, mortals have no choice but to kneel and worship. After tonight, there will probably be many people in the Aether Association who have been eroded by your power of life and death. I will select the best individuals to implant the blood of the ancient gods. It only takes about half a month before we can complete the initial penetration."

  The old man Si said in the headset: "Until the invasion of the Central Lingshu Institute."

  This attack was not just out of youthful spirit.

  Gu Jianlin did want to humiliate the father and son, but the more important purpose was to use the authority of the ancient gods to create favorable conditions for him, so as to establish a decisive advantage in the entire battle situation.

  Before, he had always regarded himself as a human being, and in order to hide himself, he rarely used the authority of the ancient gods.

  This time is different.

  He no longer needs a low-key cover-up, but a high-profile invasion.

   He was considered a terrorist after all.

   I always feel a bit bad for not giving the Inquisition some terrorist attacks.

   "Proceed with caution."

  Gu Jianlin took off the earphones casually, gently crushed them into pieces, and threw them into the trash can at the exit of the safe passage.

  The sirens echoed in the silent TV tower, the street was already in chaos, countless people swarmed and fled in all directions, the vehicles on the street were jammed together, and the traffic policemen were sweating profusely.

  Gu Jianlin put his hands in the pockets of his sweater, lowered his head slightly so that the shadow of his hat covered his face, stopped a taxi against the noisy crowd, and said politely, "Is the sublimator right?"

   The taxi driver froze, not even knowing how he was exposed.

   "Go to the Central Lingshu Institute."

  Gu Jianlin sat in the back seat of the car, took out a brand new ID from his pocket, handed it over and said, "2022 undergraduate student, this is my ID card, can I drive now?"

  ·

  ·

   If Gu Jianlin wanted to go to the Central Lingshu Institute to investigate the case, he had to have a legal identity, otherwise he couldn't break in as a wanted criminal, it would be easy to startle the enemy, and eventually lead to returning without success.

  Although his original plan was to enter directly from the main entrance, it was rejected by the shadows.

  The shadow department helped him prepare a brand new identity, an outstanding returning student from the undergraduate department of the Central Spiritual Pivot Academy, an illegitimate son from the Ying family, and a promising seed in academia. Originally, this person was a front-line combatant, but after experiencing several life and death crises, he chose to return to school for further studies.

   This situation is still very common in the extraordinary world.

   Young people are always passionate when they have never seen the world, yearning for the sword and blood of the extraordinary world.

  However, when they actually went to the battlefield and witnessed death, mental breakdowns abound.

  Some people don't even want to accept psychological counseling, so they just go back home.

   Ying Changsu is such a person.

  The point is that this person is withdrawn and taciturn, and his few friends died on the battlefield.

  The rest of the students who stayed in school have not seen each other for many years.

  And his identity information on the Deep Space Network has already been changed.

   This is the backup identity of the shadow department, and the master has already been arrested and imprisoned in a small black room.

  Gu Jianlin only needs to put on the simulation mask, and then he can open and enter the Central Spiritual Pivot Institute smoothly.

"Ding."

   "Identity information authentication passed."

   "A-level student Ying Changsu, welcome back to the Central Lingshu Academy."

  As the taxi drove away, Gu Jianlin also came to this long-known Ascensionist Training Academy.

It is not so much a college as it is a bustling city within a city. There are cameras monitoring the school gate like a castle gate. After recognizing his facial information, he can feel the magnetic field barrier in front of him being lifted. Even the security guards at the gate No, but there are twelve pillars wrapped with ancient totems, hiding the alchemy matrix.

  After entering the school gate, there is a wide tree-lined road surrounded by green lawns and tall buildings.

  The road is spacious and tidy, and the traffic lights change back and forth.

Here is like a bustling city isolated from the world, with red Ferraris whizzing by on the street, young students wearing sunglasses so chic, there are vans parked at the entrance of the auction house, and the delivery workers are carefully moving the goods. Under the gorgeous coffin, I don't know which ancient prince and noble is lying inside.

There is also a trembling old man walking down from a residential building, holding a big golden retriever with four eyes in his hand. He is sitting on the side of the road reading a book. It looks like an ordinary book, but the title of the book is written in ancient divine language. of.

  The lights were still on in the research institute next door, and doctors in white coats rushed in with suitcases.

   This is the largest gathering place for sublimators in our country.

   It is also a paradise for academics and resources.

  You can live here, start a business here, start a business, or even establish your own family to spread out. Of course, the most mainstream is academic research, making a name for yourself in alchemy technology.

  According to the introduction on the Deep Space Network, the Central Lingshu Institute covers an area of ​​4,000 hectares, most of which are living and trading areas.

  Although this is a college, there are very obvious class divisions, the most obvious being the housing level.

  Because the Central Spiritual Pivot Institute is very expensive, the department heads and senior professors who hold some power all own their own real estate here. In addition to the permanent residency right to sit back and relax, there are countless conveniences that symbolize wealth and status. The ordinary staff and students mostly rent houses.

There are also different divisions for renting houses. The first and second rings are often the children of sublimation families, and the third ring is where some outstanding children from poor families gather together to keep warm. As for the fourth and fifth rings, some families are not rich and their own talents Not good students, they are often called cannon fodder.

  The place where Gu Jianlin lives is a cannon fodder gathering place, located in the 17th block of the Fourth Ring Road.

   It stands to reason that with this false identity, you shouldn't live here, and it's not conducive to action.

  But since the shadow department is arranged in this way, there must be other deep meanings.

   However, when he saw his housing information, he still frowned.

   "It's still shared rent?"

After Xia Zhi dragged her exhausted body back home, the first thing she did was to take off her clothes and soak in the bathtub. Her snow-white and slim body curled up into a ball, but what was in her mind was the battle that broke out at Hongqiao Airport in the evening, so much so that she His fragile heart has been severely injured, and he is still in a daze until now.

   She no longer wants to recall what exactly happened at that time.

  Because when the two terrorists in the business seat looked up at her, her spirit almost collapsed.

   Fortunately, the two terrorists didn't make it difficult for her and asked her to evacuate first with the innocent passengers.

  It's a pity that she was still too scared, so that she made a mistake when evacuating the passengers, which caused a prominent academic to be frightened, had a myocardial infarction on the spot, and is still being rescued.

   Not only that, but because of her flurry, several passengers were injured.

  Afterwards, the demon hunters of the Tribunal tortured her mentally.

  She was flagged as ineligible for this operation.

   Without exception, they were fired.

   This also announced that she failed the internship assessment and was forced to stay in school for a year.

  For students from wealthy families, staying in school for a year has no other impact except embarrassment.

   But it's different for Xia Zhi.

  Because she is poor.

  Like the vast majority of ordinary girls in the world, her parents are both farmers from their hometown in northern Shaanxi. They are so ordinary, let alone a grotesque and extraordinary world, that they have not even been able to integrate into modern life. There are two younger brothers and three younger sisters in the family. As the eldest daughter in the family, she can only bear the burden of the family.

  Fortunately, she became a golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop, because she awakened the ancient path in the branch of her hometown when she was a child, and her own appearance is also very good, so she was successfully admitted to the Central Spiritual Scholars.

   In a flash, it is more than ten years.

  I thought her life would be smooth after becoming an Ascendant, but the pressure of life made her breathless.

  Some people may ask, will sublimators still be short of money?

  The answer is yes.

  Because the students of the Central Lingshu College have to pay high tuition fees, including their own advancement is also an astronomical sum. Although academic meritorious service can be exchanged for resources, they can only be used for their own use and cannot be traded.

   Once suspected of privately buying and selling extraordinary resources, as long as it is discovered, it is a felony.

   Then her life would be completely ruined.

  It will end badly.

   Miserable.

  It is not easy to be able to stay in school to maintain one's studies all these years through work-study programs, and to subsidize some family members with rewards for additional completion. But just this year, because of her father's serious illness, poor farm work, and the school expenses of her younger siblings, her income and expenditure balance was broken.

  The most important thing is that Xia Zhi's old illness has become serious.

  All her hope is to get a good job after graduation.

   Enough to support her life and take care of her humble family.

   But today, hope was dashed.

Recalling what happened in the afternoon, her headache felt like it was about to split open, as if two souls were whispering in her body, sometimes ghostly and terrifying faces flashed before her eyes, sometimes fierce golden pupils, and occasionally You can also see ghosts in white coats flashing in front of you, and the smell of disinfectant blows over your face.

  She was trembling in the bathtub, reached into the small leather bag that never left her body, took out the special tranquilizing medicine that she had bought with ten bounties, and swallowed it hastily down her throat.

  The effect of the medicine worked quickly, she gradually calmed down, and her breathing gradually became gentle.

  The cold moonlight shone on her pale face from the window. She soaked in the pool wearily. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and finally hugged her knees and sobbed softly, sobbing uncontrollably.

  Why?

  The fight between those big figures, why should it involve a small role like her.

  She is alive and has worked hard...

   At this time, the doorbell of her house rang suddenly.

  Xia Zhi sat up suddenly like a frightened rabbit, thinking that this afternoon's business was endless, and those damned witchers were coming to torture her again, so she quickly grabbed her phone and turned on the video surveillance.

   Unexpectedly, what was shown on the surveillance was a boy in a sweater.

   "I know you're watching me from surveillance."

  The teenager said blankly: "I paid half a year's rent on the Deep Space Network this afternoon."

  It was only now that Xia Zhi remembered that she had rented out her bedroom in the afternoon in order to make ends meet.
