forget the river mirror

Chapter 21: Shelter from the Wind and Rain
Blue Star, Wilderness.

"I'll set off fireworks for you guys, okay?"

After Wu Fa finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

In the sky, thick dark clouds pressed down on the ground like the kingdom of God descending, and thunder light surged out from the clouds, like a spider web, covering the entire sky in an instant.

The densely packed floating cars are like flying insects trapped in a spider web, turning into clusters of bright fireworks in the blink of an eye, blooming in the sky.

The mechanical legion in front of everyone was not spared either. As the first mechanical puppet was detonated by lightning, the entire mechanical legion exploded one after another like dominoes, and the endless roar became the background sound of fireworks all over the sky.

Wu Fa actually used an entire mechanical army to perform an extremely extravagant "firework show" for Lin Chuan.

Jing Xuan, whose wounds were gradually recovering, let out a weak sigh through the green waves:

"It's awesome..."

The blood bags that escaped with Lin Chuan were still stagnant for a few minutes, and they didn't know what happened.

But Manager Wang and the bosses in the floating car, as well as the ghosts outside the mechanical army, were all sealed in the water prison and hung in front of Lin Chuan. Everyone had a look of despair on their faces. .

Lin Chuan's eyes regained a trace of color, he didn't care about these enemies who were about to suffocate, but looked at Wu Fa, and asked very seriously:
"How do you know that Jing Xuan and I are here?"

Seeing that Lin Chuan's mood returned to normal, Wu Fa smiled in relief:
"A Li informed me the day your accident happened, but I had some more important things to do, so I came a bit late, don't worry, A Li is fine."

Lin Chuan eagerly asked:

"What about the rest of my life?"

"It's okay, but... you should ask A Li about this matter after you see her. There is still a little trouble to be solved right now."

After Wu Fa finished speaking, he stood up and looked to the north.

A few light spots appeared in the distant sky, and in the blink of an eye, the space above everyone's heads swelled with transparent ripples, and three huge floating fortresses suddenly descended on the battlefield.

Lin Chuan originally thought that the trouble the dean was talking about was these people in the water prison, but it seemed that the turmoil was not completely over yet.

The old man in military uniform who had appeared on the federal conference table walked out of the floating fortress wearing sophisticated exoskeleton armor.

Appearing with him was a handsome man in a well-fitting suit, and a ferocious giant steel beast.

As soon as the steel giant landed on the ground, it stirred up a large cloud of dust, and the cold mechanical synthesis sound was mixed with a trace of anxiety:
[Wu Fa, let go of the bishop. 】

General Lin followed suit and advised:
"Wu Fa, you have violated the extraordinary management regulations, please release the hostages, and the Federal Military Court will return you justice."

"Hey, isn't it just a few war puppets? There are plenty of these iron frames in the sixth district. There is no need to embarrass us, Dean Wu."

The man in the suit straightened his hair and smoothed things over nonchalantly.

"Ah."

Wu Fa sneered, and all the water prisons instantly collapsed to the size of raindrops, turning into bright red crystal "gems", which he put into his pocket.

【you dare! 】

The steel behemoth charged directly at Wu Fa, but before he could get close, he was struck by lightning, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"No one can tell me what to do in the rain."

Wu Fa stood with his hands behind his back, turned his head to look at General Lin, and asked in a cold tone:
"Where were you when the slave catchers rushed into the safe zone? Where were you when these blood bags were in darkness? Now come to me and tell me the regulations? Who gave you the courage!?"

Lightning illuminated the sky, and the voice fell with the sound of thunder. At this moment, Wu Fa was like a god.

"Why do you bother to make enemies?"

General Lin gave a bitter smile, then turned around and went back to the fort.

"Dean, take care."

The man in the suit also bowed his head respectfully, turned and left.

The two floating fortresses left one after another, and only one was still hanging in the air, hesitating, but Wu Fa just turned his head and took a look. The last floating fortress was like a frightened rabbit, instantly absorbed and fell to the ground. The steel behemoth flew into the distance.

Before the interrogation began, it ended in an anticlimactic manner.

Watching the fortress go away, Jing Xuan, who had completely recovered, put his arms around Wu Fa's shoulders, and asked whether it was big or small:

"Old Deng, that kid also belongs to the orphanage? Why does he call you the dean?"

Wu Fa rolled his eyes, and directly threw a water polo to seal Jing Xuan's mouth.

"I just took over as the honorary dean of the Extraordinary Academy. Go back to the orphanage to pack up your things, and then you can go to the seventh district with me."

"Gulu...gulu waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

When Jing Xuan opened his mouth, there was the sound of drowning, but even so, he was still persistently saying something...or cursing something.

Lin Chuan finally remembered Xiao You, and quickly told him that he was safe in his mind, and then silently followed Wu Fa's footsteps.

Wu Fa took Jing Xuan and Lin Chuan and strolled outside the base. The dean still wore the same black cloth shirt, but he was missing a cattail fan, and the rain curtain hanging from the dome was lifted aside. , the pouring rain cautiously avoided the three of them.

That god-like ability seems to exist only to protect the two children from wind and rain.

"Xiao Chuan, there are some things I can't explain to you now, but you will understand in the future. Have you been awakened for a week now? Have you experienced any special changes in your body?"

"So when I was awakened, you really saw me..."

Lin Chuan quickly realized that the Wu Fa he saw when he was awakened was not illusory, but he didn't care.

Wu Fa is the person Lin Chuan trusts most in this world. Some answers don’t have to be known now. Lin Chuan quickly sorted out his mood and talked to Wu Fa about the microcosm:
"Actually, there's not much difference, but I've come up with something amazing..."

But when he was about to call out Ling and Darkness, he found that the Tai Chi cyclone in his body had disappeared, replaced by a mess of glowing strings.

The trauma he had suffered was gone, the broken foot bones were back to normal, and even the feeling of weakness after Xiaoyou dissipated was gone.

Lin Chuan touched the ball of thread with his consciousness, but got no response.

Wu Fa saw that Lin Chuan's complexion was a bit ugly, and thought that there was something wrong with his body, so he hurriedly asked with concern:
"what happened?"

"It's okay, but I can't show it to you now. In short, I endowed spiritual wisdom and civilization to the spiritual energy. They evolved into a Tai Chi nebula in a very short time. There are also two representative figures, Ling and Dark. , all the stars were assimilated by the two of them...but they disappeared after the final battle."

Lin Chuan briefly recounted the experience of the past few days, but subconsciously removed the existence of Xiaoyou. While talking, the three of them also walked on the road.

Both Wang Daquan and Wang Erzhu knelt beside the truck obediently, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.

Seeing the uncle and nephew Wang Daquan, Lin Chuan suddenly remembered the group of blood bags that escaped with him. He quickly turned around, only to find that those people had already entered the cargo box, but they were still in a state of stagnation.

Apparently, Lin Chuan thought of more than that, he picked up Wang Daquan with bright eyes:
"Take us to where you received the money."

It is impossible to use online transactions for such a shameful business as buying and selling blood bags. The federal tax agency is even more vicious than the IPC.

The IPC still needs a reason to arrest people, but if they are targeted by the tax bureau, even if they hide in the wilderness, they can catch people back and pay back the tax.

So there must still be a lot of cash in the base.

Wu Fa was treated by Lin Chuan as a free labor force. Using water flow to condense a huge palm, he rummaged through most of the base, and finally found three safes.

Two were filled with gold and banknotes, and the last contained a pile of numbered human bones.

Lin Chuan's eyes turned green. After suffering so many crimes these days, it's finally time to reap the rewards.

It's a pity that Wu Fa took away those two safes before he could pounce on them:
"I'll keep the money for you first, so that the tax bureau won't trouble you."

The smile on Lin Chuan's face froze immediately, and that low expression made even an existence like Wu Fa feel a chill.

……

Wu Fa brought Lin Chuan back in the water polo. Even though he was locked in the water polo, Lin Chuan didn't stop, so he almost used Shunbu to grab money.

Jing Xuan leaned back and forth laughing, and after realizing that he could only make the sound of "Wow, wow, wow", his face also sank.

Wu Fa now regrets coming here to save these two boys...

As long as Jing Xuan opened his mouth, his blood pressure would rise. He felt sorry for Lin Chuan at first, but it turned out that this kid was a loser. Just because of the few hundred million dollars, he was almost desperate for him.

But soon Wu Fa smiled in relief, let go of the bondage of the two, and started to fight with them as he did when he was a child.

Suffering so many crimes all of a sudden, the two children had to vent.

An old man and two young children quarreled for a long time, Lin Chuan finally gave up his plan to take money from Wu Fa, and Jing Xuan was the only one who was still cursing tirelessly.

Wu Fa arranged for Wang Daquan to go to the truck, threw the water polo, and pressed the mute button for Jing Xuan, while he took Lin Chuan and Jing Xuan on the off-road of the Hundred Ghosts, leaving Er Zhu as the driver.

Wang Daquan and Wang Erzhu never expected that within a few days, they would go to the ninth district again.

Under the gloomy sky, two cars are driving one after the other on the dilapidated road. The picture is desolate, but there is bright hope ahead.

……

Jing Xuan, who was forced to keep silent, sat in the co-pilot by himself, and Lin Chuan, who had calmed down, sat in the back, frowning and asking Wu Fa beside him in confusion:
"Shall we go back by car?"

Wu Fa heard what Lin Chuan really meant, but said indifferently:

"Otherwise? I'll take you to fly back? Don't worry about these little things. Tell me about your microcosm. Do you know the PRNP gene?"

"A gene on human chromosome 20 that codes for a glycoprotein... wait, prions?
You mean that spirit and darkness should be a kind of existence similar to prions, but pure protein cannot form life...

It's not right... It's folding. The way they assimilate aura particles is similar to the principle that prions assimilate normal proteins. "

Lin Chuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. He seemed to have caught something, but there was still a layer of tulle between him and the truth.

Wu Fa did not hide the satisfied smile on his face at all. Lin Chuan has been like this since he was a child. No matter what the problem is, just give him a hint and a direction, and he can quickly find the answer.

"Don't get entangled in their assimilation principle. What you have to do is to use the folding method you just mentioned to assimilate more aura particles. Compared with the vortex, the assimilation efficiency is definitely higher."

It's a pity that time does not allow, otherwise Wu Fa will definitely wait for Lin Chuan to find out the answer by himself.

After pointing out the direction for Lin Chuan's future practice, Wu Fa subconsciously looked towards the sky, and then sped up his speech, unveiling the mystery of the extraordinary world:

"Now that we are talking about prions, we have to mention the blood race. 'Changing children and eating' is just an idiom in textbooks, but in that war era, it was a ball of white meat in a pot.

The PRNP gene is a bottom line engraved in the human body, but when humans voluntarily give up that bottom line, there are only two results, one is death, and the other is the blood race.

According to your description, that Qi Shan's ability should already be close to that of a B-level transcendent. "

This is not the first time Lin Chuan has heard of Chaofan's rating, but before he asked, Wu Fa saw through his thoughts:

"The level of a transcendent is only a rough distinction of physical quality, and it does not represent the real combat power. Most people's path to transcendence starts from the E level.

The physical fitness of E-level extraordinary people is better than that of ordinary people, and they are not easy to get sick.

D-level is probably one against ten against ordinary people. You and Jing Xuan’s current physical fitness is equivalent to D-level, which is what you call the spirit-consciousness state. Don’t ask me why I know the spirit-consciousness, you will understand later.

At the C level, it can be regarded as entering the room, and can evade most of the hot weapons with its own physical fitness. There are more than a hundred C level graduates of the Transcendent Academy this year.

After that, the B-level has the ability to temporarily control the sky.

Theoretically, I am now A-level, but in rainy days, S-level people dare not speak loudly to me, so level does not mean strength. "

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Jing Xuan in front turned his head, and let out a long "bubble" sound with an excited expression on his face, Wu Fa had no choice but to put away the water polo.

"Hey~ Lao Deng, you almost suffocated me..." Seeing that the water polo was about to fly over again, Jing Xuan quickly changed his words:

"Dear Dean, I should have awakened a supernatural ability. It feels like I can breathe. I don't need to learn it at all. I just remembered how to use it..."

When Jing Xuan said this, he paused, with a rare look of embarrassment on his face, but seeing Wu Fa's water polo moved again, he immediately continued:

"I can make people have diarrhea suddenly... but I can only make people named Qi Shan have diarrhea. I tried it on you and Chuan'er just now, and it doesn't work."

Wu Fa and Lin Chuan's faces darkened at the same time, and Jing Xuan's mouth was instantly blocked by the water polo.

"Rule-based abilities are rare, but most of them are useless. There is one in the academy who can only make your appendix inflamed. Using this trick to avoid a lot of classes, but it is a good thing to be awakened, no matter whether you have abilities or not. Yes, it can be regarded as stepping into the threshold of transcendence, as long as you persist in practicing, you can continue to improve your body's strength..."

"...I'll take a break and call me when I get to District [-]."

As Wu Fa spoke, he parted out a ball of clear water, which transformed into his own image in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Chuan, only you and Jing Xuan can hear what I say next.

I used to be too arrogant, I thought I could let you spend this life with peace of mind, that's why I didn't take you and Jingxuan with me, now it seems that I was wrong, in this world, everyone is fighting, I can't protect you for the rest of your life, so you have to go on your own in the future... I will take those blood bags first, and I will wait for you in the seventh district. "

Wu Fa's voice became farther and farther away, and there was only one substitute left, closing his eyes and resting beside Lin Chuan.

The world stopped for a moment again.

The inside of the car became quiet, and there was a chill behind Wang Erzhu, but he didn't dare to turn his head back. He could only carefully steer the steering wheel, even deliberately bypassing the small dirt pits on the road, for fear of annoying the living Hades behind him.

What Wang Erzhu didn't know was that the truck that had been following them had been replaced by Wu Fa's reflection in the water.

And Wang Daquan didn't realize that he had changed direction, he still frightenedly followed the off-road vehicle transformed by Wu Fa, and drove to the farther seventh district with a car full of blood bags.

……

at the same time.

Wu Fa's figure gradually solidified in an unknown place in the sky, and there was a huge void in front of him, just like a pixel grid suddenly appeared in an oil painting, there was an indescribable sense of disobedience.

No one knew what was on the other side of the void.

Some people saw the fairyland in the hollow, some saw the Buddha land, and some saw the battlefield full of dry bones.

The void was like a mirror, solidifying the legendary mirage on the dome.

A fine stream of light flows from the edge of the hole, the aurora-like color is very gorgeous, and that gorgeous edge is slowly spreading outward at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"It's not yet time..."

Wu Fa sighed helplessly, turning his body into crimson water, sealing the edge of the hole like glue, slowing down the speed of the hole's spread.
