Abyss Express

On the roof of the west building of the Five Kings Council, following the steep terrain of the cave, there are many supporting facilities built on the mountain.

According to 9527 -

——These complex buildings close to the rock wall are the initial construction scaffolding and foundation ceiling of Jiujie Station. The entire station is built from top to bottom, so the construction process also starts with these supporting facilities.

The fifty-first floor on the top floor is actually the first floor of the station.

"The former engineering station has been demolished a long time ago, and it has been moved to Longhua Avenue in the underground city." 9527 took Xue Ming to watch as he walked.

She pointed to the composite steel beams that looked like a ceiling in the distance, and continued, "Many, many facilities have been moved away, but the VIP special tea room is still here."

Jiang Xueming looked around, and he could see the twin towers of the platform and the big clock tower with the portrait of BOSS hanging on it.

There are flowerbeds and corridors everywhere, and there are small mazes composed of grass leaves. Like the six-color Rubik's Cube in [Path of Glory], it is divided into six different vegetations. They are taken care of by artificial light sources. These plants grow very well.

"It's very quiet here." Xue Ming followed Seventh Brother on the wide obsidian main road.

Xiao Qi was full of air, showing off his knowledge: "The VIP special tea room is a place for distinguished guests to rest and refresh their minds. The environment is much better than the guest room."

She pointed to the gradually rising ramp terrace, where there was an ancient fortress built against the mountain, like a baroque-style fantasy building.

"The underground expedition team, that's it, digging a complete road from this fort bit by bit."

Xiao Qi opened his arms, showing the entire jurisdiction of the Nine Realms Station, including the far side of the Fountain Square, and the underground city behind Moon Lane.

"Everything starts here. Now this building must be the highest point of the station. It is of great significance to everyone in the underground world."

"Then should I change my clothes?" Jiang Xueming half-jokingly said, "Change into a suit, a small bow tie and leather shoes, and go in with a glass of red wine?"

"Hahaha" 9527 waved his hand: "Not as formal as the Grammy Oscars!~ Take it easy!"

The two walked along the broad avenue, and Jiang Xueming was curious when he saw these majestic and huge architectural roads.

"Why did you build the road so wide? And that black stone doorway, the huge stone steps like a pyramid - the road here can be paved with twenty lanes side by side. Is it really necessary?"

"Because." 9527 pretended to be mysterious and pointed at the big bronze sculpture in the fountain square: "Because they built this road in the first place, you can find "Frostfire Giants and Great Wishes" in the big library This book records the love and hatred between BOSS and them."

"Those statues...were they alive?" Jiang Xueming asked in amazement. No matter how many times he looked at the bronze sculptures, his heart would be deeply shocked.

"Maybe it's a legend, maybe it's a fabrication." 9527 can't guarantee it, and what the book says is correct: "Since the station was reclaimed and opened up, and repaired and remodeled at the same time, it was slowly built from top to bottom. What is written in this book is that the Frostfire Giants and the BOSS talked about cooperation, building a station together, and the entire mid-term urban planning and construction are the work of the giants. Why is this road so spacious? Because it was originally Designed to fit the physique of a giant."

It is difficult for Jiang Xueming to imagine the wonderful history sealed up in ancient times. Only these majestic buildings that are hard to see the whole picture remain in this 17,000-meter underground pit.

If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, standing on these buildings, stepping on its tamped stone construction, and seeing the anti-seismic steel bars and anti-oxidation aluminum blocks buried deep in the mountain from the cracks in the stones—it’s hard to imagine that in this reality, almost How can a building that cannot exist reasonably bear its own weight, and how can it be built so high and so big.

Entering the front hall of the fortress, you can see six waiters sitting on two rows of sofas in the hall.

——They were both male and female, and they had a good conversation. It's not like the waiters at the entrance of the welcome hall downstairs.

These people were dressed in different clothes, and only a red tie could be used as a proof of identity as a waiter. Jiang Xueming also saw that a girl directly used the red tie as a headband to tie her hair, her attitude was casual and natural.

9527 asked Xueming not to talk nonsense. These people are very noble, and they are all VIP's accompanying attendants. Whenever the VIP wants to explore unknown and dangerous places, they will definitely follow the VIP.

Jiang Xueming asked again: "If that's the case, why didn't Teacher Victor's waiter follow him?"

"Hahahahaha~!" A burly man responded loudly: "Because that guy ran out secretly! Hey! Is he very careful? Very careful? Tell you repeatedly—don't take my Disclose your whereabouts to others?"

Jiang Xueming nodded: "That's true."

"I'm the attendant of that curly-haired slut." An elderly lady stood up from the sofa, said she was only about thirty years old, wearing glasses, with a serious and indifferent expression, but the words that came out of her mouth Very explosive: "Little friend, do you know which butcher shop hangs that piece of overnight barbecued pork right now? I get angry when I think of him!"

It took Jiang Xueming a lot of effort to understand the meaning of the swear words: "Uh, I know. But now I'm not sure where the teacher is."

"Then trouble you to clear out all the dirty things in your intestines that are inconvenient to say, and let me pick and choose from them and sort out the clues." The lady's mood was calm, and her words were vicious: "But don't be shy, you fart and Shit is no different, it's just a process of opening the door of the heart."

Jiang Xueming felt very embarrassed: "The last time I saw my teacher...was on the train in Death Puppet City. Maybe he came back, maybe he didn't."

"There is a bit of mystery in this, but I have to thank you." The lady covered her forehead and rolled her eyes, walked out all the way, and said a few words back: "If you call Victor a teacher, then you should be his first student, no matter what It's also the second or third one. I believe this guy is not so lucky to be able to accept so many students at once--I have to bring you some souvenirs for the first time, right? But it's a pity, you I'm so happy, I didn't prepare anything for you, because your teacher is a 24K pure idiot. After he left the house without saying hello, I searched everywhere in a hurry, but I didn't prepare a suitable gift at all. It's really rude. If it makes you angry, you can write it down In the diary, use it as a little trick to get angry every day. Use it with your stone, if you are a red stone like that char siu, that would be great! Is it my gift to you?"

"May I ask. Are you my teacher's wife?" Jiang Xueming greeted very sensiblely.

The lady then stopped moving and froze.

It's like the brain shuts down, it doesn't turn at all.

Thirty seconds passed.

The lady finally squinted her eyes, adjusted her glasses, and was a little more polite, "Now that children ask for gifts, their mouths are so sweet?"

Seventh brother listened to the mood up and down.

Until Xueming said the phrase "teacher's wife" - she was finally relieved.

The mysterious lady finally stepped out, walked away, and just got on her motorcycle - waving behind her.

"Stop talking, I'll find him first, wash your ass at home and wait for the mail!"

Wait until the sound of the entourage's motorcycle engine fades away.

Jiang Xueming only felt that it was very mysterious——

——Is this Mr. Victor’s waiter?

At this juncture, Seventh Brother was not idle, he squeezed to the other side of the sofa in the hall, and greeted the VIP attendants one by one.

Xue Ming's hearing is very good, he can hear what Brother Seven is saying - he is probably asking how the VIPs are doing now, and talking about the status of each VIP's family.

It is worth noting that Qi Ge's attitude towards one of the waiters is very special.

——Her address was not "You" or "Your Excellency".

Instead, it is directly called [Master].

Xueming was sure that he heard it right, it was [Master], not [Master]—and looking at that Master, she was a big sister in her mid-twenties.

This elder sister is expressionless and looks very "sharp" - the reason why this adjective is used is because of the aura that rushes towards her face.

She folded her arms in front of her chest, and she was wearing a waiter's scissor tail dress, but she didn't want to put it on properly. The inner was a tight-fitting ice silk quick-drying suit, and the pure black fabric had a phoenix painted on it.

She has a pair of heroic red phoenix eyes, a delicate nose and mouth, and eyebrows like swords.

The hair style is exactly the same as that of Seventh Brother. I just said that she is the one who tied her hair with a red tie - maybe 9527's habit of tying a single ponytail with a red ribbon is imitating the teacher.

She was wearing a pair of loose black cloth trousers, the trouser legs were also dyed with bright red flames, she didn't wear shoes, she looked like a boxer in a dojo.

Seventh Brother squatted halfway beside the sofa, not daring to sit down, whispering to the elder sister, and after a while glanced at Xueming, as if asking for Master's opinion.

Xueming couldn't hear what Brother Seven said——

——From the beginning to the end, the accompanying waiter of the VIP did not have any expression changes, nor did he speak.

After Brother Qi finished his speech, he rushed back all the way, his demeanor was like——

——The feeling that we sent "I like you" to the object of our crush, then threw the mobile phone on the bed like a grenade, and finally found a bunker to hide.

Seventh Brother took Xue Ming's arm to the side hall, and smiled awkwardly: "Let's go! Master! And seniors! You all have a good rest!"

The waiters just nodded and said nothing.

9527 took Xue Ming to the medical institution in the teahouse, walked through two corridors before speaking.

"Those brothers and sisters just now are all big shots in the station."

Jiang Xueming: "I heard you call one of them Master?"

Xiaoqi: "Yes."

Speaking of this, Xiaoqi's face was full of admiration, and she became a little fan girl.

Jiang Xueming was stunned for a moment, and didn't ask any more questions. It is estimated that if he continued to ask, Ah Qi, the fan girl, would drag him to chat for more than half an hour.

Xiao Qi held back for a long time, but the employer suddenly stopped talking.

She kept winking, and was about to introduce Bai Yueguang in her heart.

"Ask! Why don't you ask? You... weren't you curious just now?"

"I'm here for a checkup." Jiang Xueming pressed Seventh Brother's shoulders and asked Seventh Brother to lead the way: "If there is anything else, we can talk about it when we have a dinner appointment."

Wait until Xiaoqi leaves completely.

On the sofa in the front hall, several waiters suddenly started chatting in private and became lively.

It seems that I still have some airs in front of the younger generation, and I have a little idol burden, but now I let go of it.

"Hey! What did Xiaoqi tell you just now?"

"secret."

"Is there a drama? Is there a drama between them?"

"secret."

"Just now when the Bloodhound went out, he was still yelling at Victor, saying that his mother would rather give birth to a piece of char siew. When the kid opened his mouth, the Bloodhound stopped being angry immediately. He seems to be good at making girls happy."

"Judging by your IQ, you basically say goodbye to girls. It is more realistic to find a good mother who can take care of a stupid son."

"Can you stop swearing at people?"

"Well said, I vote for Phoenix."

"All in all, my uneasy little apprentice seems to have found a very reliable partner. It's really gratifying to be a teacher."

"Would you like to go out for a drink? Where's the dandelion? Have you seen the dandelion? Do you want to call the couple together?"

"His employer has suffered a very serious mental trauma. Let them rest quietly for a while—didn't the Tulip table say there was activity today?"

"Who please?"

"Please, I just repaid BOSS's blood butterfly usury last month."

"Can't you borrow it out again this month?"

"But debt. If this kind of feeling that makes people uneasy stays in the investigation mission, I think I will be in danger."

"Life is too short! It's the BOSS that should be worried. If you owe it a huge debt, it would like to squat on your shoulder every day to keep you safe!"

"Cough, does anyone care about my little apprentice?"

"Oh yes! Oh oh oh! What do you think? The boy?"

"He probably rang the summons bell before he was sent here? I don't think so—my employer never rang the summons bell. He's too cold. I couldn't help him at all when he was growing up." superior."

"Is your inspiration soaked in wine? Can't you feel it? This kid is not injured, and the ternary quality is in a good state-spirit, body, and soul are intact. Why do I think that he just wants the waiter to be by his side, Just rang the summons bell."

"Your statement is a little romantic! If I have an employer who rings the bell every day, I think she must be very clingy!"

"Hey! Me too! My employer didn't ring the bell a few times when I was young! At that time, I had just completed my third transformation, and I couldn't manage my brain well. I stopped working all day long and was always scolded by the foreman. , just thinking about how to come up with a scene in which a beautiful woman saves a hero, and how to put on a pose—it’s a pity that he’s already a piece of old bacon.”

"It's as if you can control your mind now."

The so-called ternary quality.

—is the theory of alchemy proposed by Hohenheim.

The scholar's full name is Phillips Orioles D'Ophrast Bombasz von Hohenheim.

During the Renaissance, alchemy was divided into three trends.

This doctor, alchemist, and chemist happen to be a little bit of all three.

His combination of alchemy and medicinal chemistry became the cornerstone of modern medicinal chemistry.

The concept of ternary quality proposed by him later derived the statement of ternary quality of sulfur, mercury and salt. It is believed that diseases of the human body are related to the imbalance of the ternary quality.

He pulled alchemy off the altar of the gods, ripped off the mystery of magic rituals, broke superstition, and turned medicine and chemistry into divine powers available to everyone.

There are still countless literary and artistic works praising alchemy and Hohenheim.

Among them, the panacea [fountain of youth] and the philosopher's stone [sage's stone] are the most typical.

There are legends about the rediscovery of the four elements [wind, fire, earth, water], and the [Magician] in the Great Arcana Tarot, all related to Hohenheim.

There is a portrait of Hohenheim on the gate of the medical institution.

The security inspection procedures in the VIP special tea room are very complicated. Starting with the blood test and urine test, Xue Ming has to go through a series of physical and mental inspections to ensure that there is no problem with the ternary quality in the body.

After ringing the summons bell, the passengers need to undergo an MRI test and put electrodes on their heads to listen for brain waves and invisible lesions in the brain—they need to shave their heads. In the waiter’s chat just now, perhaps this is Why, there is a reason why VIPs refused to ring the bell when they were young.

The staff shaved Xue Ming's head, put on a hospital gown, and prepared to send him to the isolation room.

When 9527 saw the bald Xue Ming, he opened his mouth slightly with a surprised expression.

Seeing Xiao Qi like this, Xue Ming felt a little bit sorry.

He thought—Brother Qi should be a little disappointed, after all, no matter who in the world shaves his head and turns his head into a fish ball shape, it will probably become ugly, right?

Moreover, Bai Qingqing is still a face control person, so she will hear the voice of broken dreams, but this is also a good thing, with this shiny head here, at least the two of them can maintain a safe social distance and can chat normally, right?

Before Xue Ming entered the isolation room and went through the disinfection procedures, he ran up to Brother Seven, and was about to say a few polite words—in case Brother Seven turned around and told the boss about Meng Sui's resignation.

"Xiao Qi, I."

"Don't come here!" 9527 pursed his lips, looking defensive.

Xue Ming didn't expect Brother Qi's reaction to be so big, and he felt a bit at a loss: "I need to have an examination, and I can't help it even if I shave my hair."

"Stay away from me. I'm afraid." Xiao Qi didn't dare to look at it, "I'm upset. My mind is upset."

Xue Ming heard that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong: "Oh, then I'll go for an examination first."

"Well, you go!" Xiaoqi covered her face, and peeked through her fingers again: "You go!~ Leave me alone, don't come close to me, let me be quiet!~"

When Jiang Xueming walked away, he could hear Bai Qingqing singing behind him.

"Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together~ The spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating~"

"Quietly ask the holy monk~ Is my daughter beautiful, is my daughter beautiful~"

The resentful and strange singing scared Xue Ming into hiding in the disinfection room.

Across a door, more than 30 meters away, he could still hear Seventh Brother's strange laughter outside.

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee!

Xue Ming sat on the stool in the disinfection room, covered his face, and learned a sentence of Cantonese.

"Fight the street"
