Abyss Express

December 24, 2024.

Christmas Eve.

A Christmas-themed Volga car parked outside the Bu family's mansion, with a funny trombone honking.

After a while, I saw Ah Xing rushing out with a backpack, Jiang Xueming and two brocade boxes in his hand. The big boy with a meter nine has a huge stride and an astonishing momentum, and the smoke and dust billowed when he ran with all his strength.

Ah Xing saw the Volga car coming, and saw the circus troupe of entertainers in the Huajie Market, his eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity. He took Brother Ming as his luggage without any hassle.

"Come on!" Ah Xing knocked on the car window, lifted Jiang Xueming from his armpits with his thighs, and lifted him to the edge of the car window, asking the driver to open the door.

Volga changed a set of bright red car paint, and added sparkling pink eyelashes to the halogen headlights, and red and white accessories are available.

Windows down—

——Showing 9527's loveless expression, "Have you always used your brother as a fitness machine?"

Ah Xing grabbed the handle on the padded jacket behind Xueming, as if he was carrying a large handbag. He explained with a smile: "Hehe. The special-shaped dumbbells I usually use weigh only seventy-five kilograms. Brother Ming these days I gained a lot of meat in a month, which is just right for maintaining my training state!"

Jiang Xueming moved his head to the car window, and seeing Brother Seven's listless look, he put the Heart of Steel back on his ring finger, and took out a box of cookies from his padded jacket.

"Bai Lu and I made the snacks for you by ourselves."

"Oh!~" Xiaoqi got up all of a sudden, grabbed the gift box with her hands, unwrapped it smoothly and quickly, and unwrapped the colored paper and ribbon in less than two seconds.

Seeing that set of movements, Xue Ming was so envious—Xiao Qi seemed to have become more powerful. Four months ago, when she [Xiao Lu Yi Shou] was mixing drinks, her hands were not as dexterous.

"It smells so good!" Xiao Qi sniffed the sweet and milky aroma of the cookie, threw it into his mouth, and the more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became.

Jiang Xueming still maintained the state of hanging in mid-air. After giving the gift, his arms drooped naturally without any unnecessary movements.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoqi was full of curiosity, and while putting snacks in his mouth, he asked, "Employer, what's going on? How did you become a useless person?"

"In winter, I can't get motivated at all," Jiang Xueming said frankly, "In the past four months, my body has gained eight kilograms, and my metabolism and hormone levels have changed dramatically. long."

"Oh! You are about to complete the second [transformation]!" Xiao Qi said excitedly: "Your corundum pyroxene responded to you, it wants you to keep calm, it takes a lot to change from the state of an egg to a nymph." Lots of mental energy!"

"I can vaguely feel that the body is gradually able to keep up with the pace of the spirit. A Xing also said that he does not feel any inspiration pressure from me, as if all the spiritual essence has returned to the physical body ——If it is not necessary, I will try to reduce the time of activities and keep quiet." Xue Ming drooped his eyelids, looking half awake.

"Hey hey hey, you look so cute!" Xiao Qi grinned, with a lot of biscuit crumbs emerging from his teeth.

Jiang Xueming pursed his lips, like a doll not fully charged: "Just as long as you like it."

"Brother Seven! Let's go?!" Ah Xing was about to get into the car, trying to push Brother Ming into the back seat.

"Wait a minute! I dressed up specially today! Tell your Brother Ming to take a good look at me!" Xiao Qi immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the car.

She hadn't worn high heels a few times, and was almost stumped by the height of 12 centimeters. She stepped on the asphalt in front of Bu's compound, showing her beautiful and fit figure under the street lights.

She was wearing a brown and black elk-themed skirt, with a warm bare leg under the fluffy hem. The hair is braided into twin ponytails and left on both sides of the collarbone, and the heart of steel is wrapped with a black ribbon to form a neck ring, which is hung around the neck.

With a little peach blush on her face, she looked very energetic, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

She circled around in place, and the hem of her skirt lifted up.

"How! How? Your little reindeer is coming to pick you up!"

When Bu Liuxing mentioned Brother Ming at the time, he used Brother Ming's head as a camera and scanned from a low position to Brother Seven's beautiful legs, waist and hips to the Tianling cover, just like he was playing with the security inspection equipment.

"Very good." Jiang Xueming remained expressionless, without any change.

Xiao Qi curled her lips, very upset: "Tch! I thought you would say something else"

"I don't know how to praise, and I haven't read many books." Xueming Zhinan said bluntly: "But I think it's rude to criticize a girl-you ask me how I am, I can only say, it's pretty good."

Xiao Qi changed the way of asking: "Do you like it?"

Xue Ming asked back, "Do you like it?"

Xiao Qi tilted his head and squatted in front of Xueming: "It's not good, these shoes are too awkward, but I read that the bloggers of Xiaohongshu praised every day, saying that wearing them will make you look better! I just want to try As a result, walking became a problem.”

"Your script is very beautiful." Xue Ming didn't say anything, but talked about it based on his own experience: "At home, when I was cooking with you, I saw you walking barefoot. , The manner is very good. There is no need to torment yourself, just walk comfortably and dress comfortably."

"Huh?" Xiao Qi was stunned suddenly, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Ming pulled A Xing's clothes, and wanted to drive A Xing to the front row of the Volga——

——He took out Xiaoqi's waiter's cloth shoes from the storage compartment in the front row.

Xueming asked, "Are you doing it yourself or should I change it for you?"

"Me, me, me, me! I'll do it myself." Just as Xiao Qi wanted to bend over, a button of the thin internet-famous chiffon skirt immediately burst open, and the zipper also began to scream.

Meteor suppressed his smile and twisted his expression: "Pfft"

At that moment, Xue Ming woke up from the doze state, and the inspiration reminded him that there was a strong killing intent, and he didn't know where it came from.

He frowned and glared into the distance: "Are there any enemies?"

"No, no, no." Xiao Qi managed to squeeze out a little smile, "It's not an enemy. It's a bitch."

Her bowels are turning green——

——I bought the skirt according to size M. I didn't expect that the muscles of the shoulders, neck, waist and spine would be so much different from those of the net red ribs, and it would be difficult to bend over.

Xueming had already seen Brother Seven's unspeakable concealment.

He held Xiao Qi's ankle and helped Xiao Qi change his shoes.

As soon as one foot was changed, water started to boil on Xiao Qi's face.

Xueming explained: "Don't get me wrong. I just think that you look better in these shoes. Twelve centimeter high heels are really hard to be human, and it's not safe to drive. I'm more afraid of death."

"Yeah, yum." Xiao Qi just covered her face, and she could see shyness hotter than blush from her fingers.

After changing the shoes, Xueming said again: "Take your hands away."

Xiao Qi nodded and followed suit.

Xue Ming took out a tissue from his padded jacket, and wiped Xiao Qi's mouth clean as usual.

At this moment, the co-pilot's window was rolled down——

——3301 was dressed as Santa Claus, with a sullen expression on his face.

She pushed her glasses, adjusted the big red hat on her head, and cursed.

"Can you guys restrain yourself a bit? Don't you think about whether others can bear it or not? Aww!——"

The final hiss like a wolf scared Ah Xing into the car and took Brother Ming to the back row.

Then--

——Volga let nature take its course and obey the law of heaven, just like being hit by the weapon of karma. Stuck on the busiest and busiest Christmas Eve Avenue in HK.

At this stall, the four of them chatted without saying a word.

Three Three Zero greeted Ah Xing indifferently.

"Employer, it's a great thing that you haven't died yet. Although you are still at the age of dying, you must have the consciousness of dying under the peony flower. I hope you can bring me more during this journey." Fright and surprise."

Ah Xing didn't understand, so he just replied cheerfully: "This younger sister has always been very good at talking."

Nine Five Two Seven interjected: "Mr. Bu Meteor, you are about to complete your second transformation, right?"

"Oh! Maybe?!" A Xing took out the passenger logbook and pointed to the newly added guide page: "I have a very strange schedule now, I can sleep for twenty hours at a time, and then stay awake for sixty hours, and then Another twenty hours of sleep"

According to the color classification of the pyroxene of the passengers, the evolved nymph forms are also different.

Judging from the rose pyroxene of Bu Meteor, his spiritual essence is constantly undergoing exciting activities of charging and discharging. It's like a larva in an egg stretching its limbs, struggling again and again, probing again and again, and finally grows limbs.

Ms. 3301 also became happy, and began to yell: "Wow! Really? Good job! Employer! If you can complete the third transformation next year, my performance will meet the standard, and I can catch big fish and show big shit ! Four months of vacation in a row!"

Meteor scratched his head, not quite understanding the brain circuit of his waiter, so he just asked Seventh Brother in a low voice.

"Is it like this before 3301? I don't read much, and I haven't seen anyone who learns how to howl like a wolf every day."

"Don't worry about it, I'm a green gold guard." 3301 explained: "This is an occupational disease."

——The so-called lapis lazuli guards.

It is a patrolman who goes to and from various stations in the underground world. are armed employees with special abilities.

If the first piece of jewelry a passenger gets is themed on lapis lazuli—the qualities of [thinking], [reasoning], [planning], and [tracing the source] allow the passenger to get an additional law enforcement certificate of the lapis lazuli guard .

The main function of the Qingjin Guard is to catch hunters and stop crimes, and exchange the hunter's bounty for money, which can be regarded as a part-time job.

Like Mr. Victor's accompanying attendant, he is also a lapis lazuli guard.

In order to protect the policemen at these stations, and for the safety of the policemen’s families—usually Qingjins will have a special code name to hide their real names.

The codename of Mr. Victor's attendant is [Bloodhound].

Most of the VIPs and their accompanying attendants will take this part-time job, so the superstructure of the station is often used by people instead of their real names.

Victor is an outlier—in addition to writing a book, he has to work as a translator for BOSS. He is not interested in this kind of part-time job like a bounty hunter, and has always used his real name to show people.

The Qingjin Guardian needs to go through an advanced ritual to strengthen her tracking senses, like the occupational disease mentioned by 3301, she just likes to howl like a wolf - it allows her to distinguish the details of smells that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.

As for the ritual - that's another story.

They jammed from Christmas Eve to three o'clock in the morning on Christmas Day.

Finally returned to the waiting hall of the Nine Realms Station, the Five Kings Council was almost full today, and people who came for business and festivals lined up on the main road outside the welcome hall.

If you want to hold festivals in the underground world, and have a happy meal with your family, there is always a place to spend money. There are no branches in each trade transfer station. If you want to get cash from HC, you can only go to the big station.

Jiang Xueming was always half asleep and half awake, which made 9527 very worried.

Corundum is a strange stone—

——It likes a quiet and peaceful master, and it will also make the master quieter and more Buddhist, especially at the critical moment of the second [transformation], the master will become like a BOSS, and may fall asleep anytime, anywhere .

All the spiritual essence will return to Xue Ming's body, slowly accumulate strength, slowly open the shell of the egg, and finally complete the transformation.

Xiaoqi also asked the boss privately—is it really okay for the employer to continue traveling in this state?

The boss only replied four words.

"Relax him!"

Since it was arranged by the BOSS, Xiao Qi has nothing to say, but only hopes that the employer can complete the ringing of the bell in a half-dream and half-awake state!

As for the stick of unknown origin——

——It is estimated that it will cause headaches for employers for a while.

9527 asked the other three people to line up, ran to the storage room at the station, and took back the stick of unknown origin.

About what this stick is, she once consulted Ms. Cat Climb and BOSS.

When the BOSS saw this thing, the whole cat was bad.

I learned from Ms. Cat Climb——

——This is a bone of Mingde.

At the beginning, in the Senate of the Chamber of Commerce of the Twelve Schools in the underground world, there was one [Mingde's Remains].

The stick made from the remnant of the BOSS has a very important symbolic meaning, just like the dragon head stick in the Chamber of Commerce school organization.

Whoever gets this bone will be the leader of the Senate.

Such as redstone-based engineering institutes, agricultural institutes, the third transportation department and the fourth transportation department.

Most of these places do business related to food and medicine, and the inheritance of craftsmanship is mainly based on the relationship between master and apprentice. The ownership of the stick is also in the hands of the highly respected masters of the school. Such masters generally have undergone five or six transformations. Both spiritual quality and physical skills are ridiculously strong.

For other five-color stones, the blue-based business and law schools or logistics companies, the people who can get this stick must either have a solid family background or outstanding ability, and they are all well-known people.

The problem is, this stick BOSS is not rare, as far as it is concerned, the bones are the toes and claws of its giant beast body, which is more useful for dealing with spiritual disasters, and it is a gift for those who are brave and skilled in combat or skilled in craftsmanship.

The boss will never ask for the things that are sent out. It's like a kitten who went out and caught a mouse for you because he was afraid that you would starve to death.

As for the additional meaning of this stick, its symbolic color was imposed by the passengers.

If Xueming gets this bone, it means that he has a relationship with a senate.

In order to find out which unlucky child lost the faucet stick in the Senate, Seventh Brother used a lot of contacts, and it was easy to check.

Finally, trace the source——

——I found such a school from the Black Stone Crystal Clan.

There has always been a mysterious senate in the underground world. It does not teach people how to do things, nor does it teach any crafts. It does not fight or fight. The students or craftsmen in it rarely talk, and they just travel silently—most of their stones are Black and white, there are also very few pure color corundum and white crystal glass ornaments.

The existence of the Senate in the underground world cannot be said to be a star, it is completely absent.

Because its main function is to make people calm, not afraid, not angry, not sad, not happy, not angry, etc. It is almost an emotional trash can, and the name is very common for people who give psychological counseling, called [Anonymous] .

Xiaoqi went to the big library to check the history of the Senate, and found quite a few weird passengers.

One of them was a guest named Luo Ping'an.

This guy wrote an autobiography, saying that during the reign of Zhenguan, he was recruited into the palace as an actor because of his handsome looks, but Empress Wu liked it very much when he saw it, but Mr. Went to a peach blossom spring, fled there and lived there for more than a thousand years.

Mr. Ping'an practiced immortality, qi, and self-cultivation in Taohuayuan. He mistakenly thought that pyroxene was a spiritual stone, and used pyroxene to seek longevity. As a result, he really practiced all the way to six transformations, became a VIP, and finally dug out to the railway station to register.

To this day, Mr. Pingan still feels that the spiritual aura embodied in his body is his incarnation outside the body, and after several thousand years of practice, he should be able to ascend to the fairy world.

This is [Anonymous] who emerged from the underground world more than 80 years ago. He talks to people about the truth and the way of nature every day, and gives psychological counseling to the passengers.

Whether this autobiography is true or not is unknown.

In Lingweng's view, black stones are generally volcanic rock obsidian, which is a symbol of absorbing energy and knowledge, calm and introverted, and vigorous curiosity.

White crystals and corundum-based colorless stones are symbols that release energy and knowledge, are also quiet and introverted, maintain concentration and peace of mind, and have very mysterious inner meanings.

Looking further down, Xiaoqi, as the leader of a violent melon-eating team, ate melons and ate them at his own house——

——Her master owns the remains of the Blackstone Senate. He is also a registered disciple of Daoist Luo Ping'an.

From here, the autobiographical story of Dashuku directly stepped into the fantasy painting style.

But Xiao Qi didn't see Master say anything important with this thing.

In the end, Xiao Qi thought about it—it is estimated that Master did not want to be an emotional trash can, so he was so low-key.

As for the remains brought by Xue Ming——

——Xiao Qi didn't take it seriously at all.

It's just an urban legend circulating in the underground world.

A long time ago, about three or four hundred years ago, there was a group of strange anonymous people who wanted people to live a peaceful life and try to live as long as possible-like credit knife people, like Mr. Strange who measured fortune-telling, like Fengshui masters who searched for dragons and acupuncture points, etc. Wait, with the advancement of the times, there are still many private detectives, psychologists, and psychiatrists.

Later, this organization gradually disappeared in the seductive and floating underground world, which may have something to do with the torrent of the times.

After all, in modern society, which one is not hysterical and unrestrained on the stage of life? In contrast, [Anonymous] in other derivative industries of the Senate is simply like a group of monks and priests who eat vegetarian food, chant Buddha, and build sailboats to cross the sea of ​​suffering.

This bone is not a symbol of power or wealth. It has no direct relationship with the Senate of any school, or even all walks of life in the underground world. It should not be a bad thing to hand it over to Xue Ming, after all, it still has part of the power of the BOSS , used to break superstition and deal with spiritual disasters, it is a very powerful prop.

Wait for Xiao Qi to explain these things clearly.

Jiang Xueming immediately ejected from the half-awake state.

He thought, there is no game that gives full-level equipment when it comes up, right? !

To use this club to beat the enemy? He thought that his character level was not enough!

Hearing the description of this injustice school [Anonymous], he felt that this thing should not be taken, even if it is not a hot potato, eating sweet potatoes may cause allergies.

"Sell this thing, can you pay back the money I owe you?"

"You want to find black and white stones and corundum. These three types of people are very rare in the underground world. They are really rare. Only they will be interested in this bone. Even if they are interested, they may not be able to afford the price. , even if you can get it.” Xiaoqi pondered: “It’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be guys like the business school who operate in the dark during the auction process and maliciously bid to profit from it. Passengers are working cattle and horses who eat grass and work, and those who hold pyroxene coins are carnivores."

Xiaoqi shrugged indifferently and continued.

"Employer, like you, people like you are very Buddhist, and you will never do a loss-making business without fate. How about I take this bone to a trade transfer station for a try? Anyway, I am in a hurry. Maybe Good luck, I recruited a few good sisters to hype it up, and sold it as a new concept product, like a digital collection in the metaverse. Now the game of drumming and passing flowers still works. After all, this superstition may disappear in 10,000 years. There is no way to get rid of it—people are always gambling."

Jiang Xueming returned to the luggage state and hung it on Ah Xing's hand.

"Forget it then, save the soup. Maybe you're lucky. After drinking this bowl of soup, I'll be like the Taoist priest in your story. I can really achieve great feats."
