If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 292 Looking into the distance
In the basement with eerie red light, Elvis Presley's classics have been played, only the rustling sound of the record player's stylus remains, making the room dead silent.

Standing in the middle of the basement, Lin Nian looked at the blond girl on the big cashmere bed. The conversation in this room is destined to be known by no third person, or the second person?

"Chu Tianjiao carried a box with him that night." The blond girl said, "He carries that box with him all the time."

"What's in the box."

"What Odin wants."

"What is it."

"'Cocoon'? 'Dragonbone Cross'? 'Pure fetal blood of kings'? Who knows, but it's something that's meant a lot to Odin's plans.”

"Odin came to Chu Tianjiao because of the things in the box, and he came to me because of you." Lin Nian said flatly, "Does that mean that you are essentially the same as the things in the box?"

"Why do you have to think so? Is it because I guided you intentionally or unintentionally?" The blond girl smiled, "Maybe the reason why Odin came to me is completely different from the reason why he came to Chu Tianjiao, or it may be the same. I won't talk nonsense about the harmony between the two of us, but whether you guess or not is out of my control."

"What the hell are you?" For the first time, Lin Nian looked at the blonde girl with cold and emotionless eyes. After facing Odin and exploring Chu Tianjiao's former residence, he felt a sense of fear in his heart. . Fear of the unknown and the grand destiny.

"You came here with this doubt, so I naturally have to answer some doubts for you accordingly." The blonde girl said, "But you think I am a riddle, so I will just be a riddle."

"Not once, you have always been a riddle." Lin Nian said.

"Okay." The blond girl shrugged, "You can think of me as a dragon king who sneaked into your head, crawled into your ear while you were sleeping, and stuck a nest in your head. It's your idea, although it's stupid, it also feels weird and cute."

"The last one who could do this was the cockroach." Lin Nian didn't understand what the blonde girl was talking about.

"Cockroaches also have cockroach mothers." The blond girl was about to divert the topic again, "You want to use Chu Tianjiao's connection with Odin to find out my existence, but I regret to tell you that without my previous help , you won't get any effective information at all, you will only know about Chu Tianjiao's life."

Lin Nian was silent, because the blonde girl was right. Until now, most of what he had analyzed and guessed were the clues that the blonde girl gave him intentionally or unintentionally. He said that he had found the suspected real body of the blonde girl. , it is better to say that the blonde girl took the initiative to disclose this news to him, so what is the intention of the other party?If she is really an existence similar to a pure-blooded dragon, shouldn't she try her best to put herself aside from this matter?
"It's better to talk about some doubts in advance, lest you suddenly get angry with me one day and die in a battle with some cat or dog. Don't think that I can save you every time. I'm not your patron saint." The blonde girl She curled her lips, "I'm at best a devil who's making a deal with you."

"But I have never summoned a devil." Lin Nian said.

"Are you sure?" the blond girl said softly, "The devil will live in your heart only if you sign a contract."

Lin Nian paused, because he remembered a colorful little thing hidden in the paleness. In an instant, he shook off the cold and suffocating picture, his face was a bit ugly, and it was full of red light Under the glare of the sun, his face was gloomy, as if he was going to cut someone down anytime and anywhere.

Contract, yes contract.He once reached a temporary contract with the blonde girl, on the condition that with her help, he could fulfill the release requirements of the compound domain, and the price was that the blonde girl would control Lin Nian's body ownership for a day. He thought about going back on his word, but when that day came However, he found that the so-called contract could not compete with its fairness. The time on the viaduct, the blonde girl said that he still owed half a day's time, so he really took that part of time at a critical moment. After breaking the chain, he escaped from the Nibelung with him.

You have sold half of your soul to the devil, and the devil will measure you with a ruler and cut you off, taking away his part.

"Don't look so scary." The blond girl raised her legs and shook the wine glass, "I haven't done anything against you from the beginning to the end, have I? On the contrary, I have a terrible conscience. Every time you want to cut someone, I will immediately offer my strength to you Ling Ling, maybe you will become stronger in the future, if you want to hack Odin to death, I will cooperate with you, and with a slap, I will chop up that pretending guy."

Lin Nian turned around and didn't look at him anymore, because he knew that probably this time, by using Chu Tianjiao's affairs, he would be able to get to the bottom of her at most. He got in touch, but for the time being, he couldn't dig out any more effective information, and this matter can only be delayed for the time being.

The most important thing now is that he must block Odin's intelligence and Chu Tianjiao's affairs. He can contact the blonde girl from Odin and Chu Tianjiao. The secret party may not be able to link them together, but they don't know the existence of the blonde girl. They simply think that Lin Nian, like Chu Tianjiao, has what Odin wants on him. Once Lin Nian can't tell one, two, three, there is a high probability that the Secret Party will do something to him that both parties will regret. matter.

"Burn this place with a fire?" The blond girl looked at Lin Nian with a smile.

"Chu Tianjiao spent almost his whole life sorting out these things. It's like creating a riddle for himself and future generations. Once he solves this puzzle, he will probably be able to figure out the ultimate secret of these hundreds of years. Lin Nian paused, "Ned Hogg's return."

"No one wants Ned Hogg to reappear in the world, you don't want to, and I don't want to." The blonde girl said, "You should remember all these things with your memory, right?"

"Stop joking, you have always had the best memory." Lin Nian said lightly, "Every time I recall something, those memories will flow before my eyes like a slide show. You are the master of memory manipulation, You recorded everything I saw and replayed it when I needed it."

"But doesn't this also help you memorize pi and dictionaries?" The blonde girl said hypocritically, "But I still have to correct you, your memory is indeed very good, I just don't want to see you die With so many brain cells, it’s just for you to cheat occasionally. Your ‘S’ bloodline is genuine, more real than real gold refined by fire. There is really no one better than you in the group of Kassel College, even Angers. That old guy's lineage has to be carried forward in front of you, after all, he is not an ordinary person and I really don't plan to live in his head."

His pedigree is better than Angers?

Lin Nian paused for a moment, but he didn't pay attention to her anymore. He turned his head and walked towards the workbench in the middle of the room. Since the blonde girl had already had a half-showdown, he couldn't find any more reliable information, so he simply turned his attention again. He put all his strength back on the unexplored room.

The silver-plated bullets are stacked neatly on the workbench, each bullet is engraved with lush patterns, and there is a professional engraving machine on the side. Chu Tianjiao is proficient in some parts on the basis of being a super hybrid. Alchemy knowledge!Lin Nian picked up the large-caliber bullets. Just by touching the patterns, he could almost feel the terrifying power they would burst into the bodies of deadpools, dragons, and even hybrids.

"If you want to learn, I can also teach you." The blond girl lay lazily on the bed and said, "What the secret party is playing now is just leftovers from real dragons. The real alchemy works in reality. But the power of words is enough to protect the entire city of Rome! The real secret of alchemy is just to transform "words" into "words" and store them on "carriers". You have to study hard."

Lin Nian ignored the blond girl's self-destructive dragon king's speech. Although the possibility could not be ruled out, the reality he had experienced in the past ten years told him that usually the more joyful the shouting, the more it seems to be hiding something deeper and more terrifying. the truth.

Next to the workbench is a sink for developing photos. It’s no wonder why there is such a dim red light in this room. Photo paper is not sensitive to red light, and the photosensitive speed is very slow. Under the condition of red light and low brightness Basically, the impact on exposure is negligible, and this room is probably often used as a darkroom for developing photos.

Lin Nian glanced at the cork board next to the pool, but he didn’t want to look at it after just one glance. It was covered with photos nailed to it, all stolen photos, but the angles were excellent, each one could outline the beauty of the woman inside. Chu Zihang's baby face can occasionally be found when he was out, in the supermarket, on the street, in the park, or on the beach. A child with facial paralysis is always uncute, but if there is a man who loves him enough, he can be seen in every photo. Li captures his various movements to capture his childishness and emotions.

Lin Nian scratched the photo of the woman and the child on the beach with his hands, and he could probably imagine that the man's emotions when he pressed the shutter in the grass must be a combination of warmth and sadness. The camera captured the shadows of the two people. Pulled very close to him, but there was no shadow of him after the shutter was pressed, so he felt that they were far away from him.

Sony's SLRs are stacked on the shelf one by one, and all kinds of lenses are stacked together. This man not only likes vinyl records, but also plays SLRs, smokes cigars, and drinks island whiskey. The most manly man has the most Men's hobbies, if women are not blind, they will not leave this best of the best.

Unless he goes voluntarily.

Lin Nian sighed softly. He could almost imagine what Chu Tianjiao, who has been lurking in the coastal city for more than ten years, should be looking for. year?But he was willing to dedicate the remaining ten years to such a grand theme of human destiny. When he was almost numb, someone gave him a ticket to a musical, and he met the girl named Su Xiaoyan. woman, so he fell in love.

"He is also human, and he also wants to give himself a chance." The blond girl chuckled and said in a low voice, "He is also human, and he will love, and he wants to love. It's an illusion, as if I can forget the heavy fate on my body, and just live a lifetime with that woman so simply."

That might be spring. No, it’s summer, the season when everything is heating up and restless. When the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the beach red, a woman in a dancing skirt stepping on the water, shining brightly in the afterglow, suddenly took his hand and let him He promised to let him say that he is willing to give up all the past to stay with me forever, so he said eachother, I am willing to give up all the past to be with you forever. He said so firmly, one spit and one nail nailed a family to him for the rest of my life.

He got married, gave birth to a child, and started running around for a living, but when he reached the peak of happiness, fate still found him.One day by chance, he found something, which may have been given to him by someone else. It was a black suitcase. There was a silver nameplate on the box, engraved with the half-decayed World Tree school emblem.He knew how dangerous the thing inside was, like a ticking time bomb, so dangerous that he didn't dare let anyone get close to it, and he couldn't let it get away from him.

So he pulled out the spit out nails one by one, and every time a nail was pulled out, blood flowed from the dark hole, and the family nailed to the wooden board began to fall apart.

He could have given them a better life, but he could only choose to leave with that black suitcase.

It is true that he can live a more comfortable life without the one he loves, without eyes and ears around him, and he is not afraid of being asked about the source of the huge amount of money he got. He found this unknown third basement and used his real skills A small world belonging to men.As a newly divorced man, he feels that he needs to be chic, and he can forget the sadness when he is too chic, so the strongest island vodka and the most expensive vinyl records are piled up in the room. But there is still an extra developed photo in the center of the room In the pool, there are pieces of the past that cannot go back.

"This is the first year you left me, and you look good."

"This is the second year, please don't be so haggard."

"In the third year, you gained weight."

"In the fourth year, I think of you less time."

"In the fifth year, continue to decrease."

"The sixth year, I still miss you."

Lin Nian lightly touched the words written by the red marker pen on the cork board. Cigars and spirits did not make him forget women and children. He was developing photos while smoking, and when he fell in love, he vomited all the smoke from the cigars in his mouth. Come out and look for her face in the hazy smoke.

"Maybe he also thought about bringing a better life to the mother and child, but when he was ready, fate sent the suitcase to him again." The blonde girl said, "The economy has never been His pressure, his pressure is the fate like a gangrene, I don't know what kind of temper he is, but he wants to pretend to be a useless middle-aged man in front of the woman he loves who is about to die, forcing the other party to follow him. Divorce by myself? I can't do that."

"I can't do it either," Lin Nian said.

"From a certain point of view, you are very similar to him, but you are still relatively young, so don't follow his old path." The blonde girl sighed softly.

Lin Nian knew what she was referring to, did not speak, left the workbench and walked to the side of the huge cashmere bed, on the head of the bed he found a heavy aluminum alloy box, without a combination lock, only a card slot.

He had seen this type of box before, and when he turned over the front, he saw that there was a World Tree that was half flourishing and half withered engraved on it.

The equipment box of the Executive Department.

"Chu Tianjiao has a deep relationship with the college." Lin Nian said in a low voice.

"Maybe he's from your executive department," said the blond girl.

Lin Nian suddenly remembered the phone call he had with Schneider on the Moniach. He had two missions in this coastal city this time, one of which was to find a potential student. Impossible to fall on him, not to say that he is not qualified but that he is now an 'S' rank in the executive department, the trump card of the trump card, and it is simply wasteful to waste his time on this kind of task that the admissions office should be busy with. Unless The person who gave this task has enough selfishness and intentions.

It turns out that this is why Schneider must let him pick up Chu Zihang. If he refuses this task, Schneider will probably pick him up himself, right?

An heir left behind by an 'S' class is extradited by another 'S' class, which is simply the most appropriate thing.

Lin Nian took out his pure black student card from the pocket of the windbreaker, swiped it through the card slot, and the box opened with a 'click', and he opened the lid with one hand. Dangerous gadgets that put people to death Beretta 92F, M4super90 shotgun, S&W_M500 revolver, the bottom of each bullet is painted dangerous red, and the thread-wound shell with alchemical traces, this level of equipment box will only be private Made to order, at least right now, except for Lin Nian, the current 'S' class, no commissioner is allowed to run around with this small arsenal during missions.

"It's no wonder Chu Tianjiao mentioned Kassel College to Chu Zihang," Lin Nian said.

"It was right for you to pick him up, but maybe Schneider didn't expect you to meet 'Odin' to find these things?" the blonde girl said. "So, what do you do next? Get all of this Should I report to Kassel College and risk exposing me to shirk responsibility, or keep this secret alone and take over Chu Tianjiao's burden?"

Lin Nian didn't answer him, but closed the equipment box lightly without locking it, turned around and walked towards the steel pillar of the exit.

"Are you leaving now? Or do you have a better choice and are you in a hurry to meet someone?" The blonde girl laughed.

Lin Nian ignored the blond girl behind him. When passing by the board, he paused, took a photo from it, walked to the steel pillar and jumped on it, grabbing the second floor floor with one hand. Then he left the room full of red light.

Returning to the empty room on the second basement floor, Lin Nian walked out of the room and locked the iron door and locked it. He walked through the corridor and returned to the first floor. The middle-aged man in the office immediately came out when he heard the movement: "Have you finished reading? Ready to go?"

"I want the key to room '062'." Lin Nian said.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but he still took off an old key from the key chain and handed it to him with his indifferent gaze: ".Did you find some old Chu's relics?"

"Almost." Lin Nian put away the keys, took out his mobile phone and made a call, and glanced at the middle-aged man when he turned to leave, ".Sorry, you may have to change your office in the future."

When the middle-aged man was still dazed, Lin Nian walked out of the three-story gray building and left without looking back.

The light rain has stopped outside, and the whole factory area is damp, and the road covered with coal slag is full of wet luster. Occasionally, something howling in the depths of the factory area can be heard. It may be a stray dog ​​who got lost and wanted to escape, or A poor man who lost his mind and wanted to escape.

"Hello?" The phone was connected, and it was a familiar girl's voice.

Lin Nian exhaled softly and said, "Su Xiaoqiang? I'm sorry, I seem to need your help with another matter. I want to consult you. Some of the real estate in Babaoshan, which was closed down a few years ago, is tradable. right?"

"Nothing happened to me. I was just trying to buy one of their buildings."

"You heard me right. It's just a short building. It should be used by the Media Asia Group's bankruptcy liquidation team. You don't have to ask me why I bought it. I need to buy it." Lin Nian glanced back. A low building in disrepair under the gray-white sky that almost blends in with the sky. "Don't worry about the money. I have saved some money abroad recently. It should be enough to buy it. If it is not enough, I can take a loan. The real estate certificate is troublesome. Take it on your behalf."

".OK, thank you."

Lin Nian hung up the phone, and was ready to make another call without stopping, but this time his finger landed on the dial key and paused for a moment instead of pressing it directly.No one else will know about all his discoveries today, but once he makes this call, it means that he may put himself in a dangerous situation that may appear in the future.

But after a pause of less than a second, he pressed the dial button.

"Hello." The phone was connected.

"Chu Zihang?"

"Yes."

"Are you free?"

".What's wrong?"

"I have something to give you, let's come to Babaoshan." He paused and said softly, "It involves your entrance training and some things about your father."

The phone was hung up, Lin Nian put down his cell phone, and took out the photo he had brought out from the windbreaker pocket.

It was taken when Su Xiaoyan, who had short hair, and Chu Zihang, who was still a child, watched the sunset by the river. The golden afterglow shone on the woman's black hair, and also on the boy's cool face.At that time, the woman had not yet remarried, and the man had just left. They were watching by the river, and the river was flowing at their feet as if they were waiting for someone to come back.

There is also a line of scrawled words on the edge of the photo, like a drunk person left it by hand. He hid in the grass and left the beauty of that moment. When the photo was developed, he whispered into the frame The boy and woman who didn't grow up said:
"That's it, don't cry, look into the distance."

Under the hazy sky, Lin Nian raised his head and looked at the bridge over the river in the distance of the city. Schneider wanted him to lead Chu Zihang, a descendant of 'S' class, into the world of mixed races, but he felt that compared to himself , there should be a more suitable person to tell him everything, even though this person is no longer around.

It's also time to tell the grown-up child in the photo, tell him that there was once such an awesome man who loved you, and he loved you until he died.
