Chapter 72
While being tutored, Zheng Qiuji had the opportunity to see two classmates who always kept their opinions to themselves quarreling.
"Xiao Ming, this question is wrong. Look, do this first, then this, and then use the auxiliary angle formula. Isn't the key answer out?"
"But, there is clearly no vertical here, why did you use vertical?"
"I just skipped a step. The verticality here is proven—"
"And didn't you prove verticality?"
"But I discarded it because it was not in the units required by the question, and using trigonometric functions to fit the original formula simply did not work."
"But why do you want to discard it? It is obvious that 2x root 3/2x root 3/4=3/4 is within the range of (0, π)?"
"I understand, my cow cat brother, you made a mistake in this step!"
Zheng Qiuji's brain could no longer keep up with the brainstorming of the two academic masters. He just lazily picked up his mobile phone and sent a photo to Luo Dong who was taking a chemistry self-study class next door.
I said Confucius meant Confucius: (picture.jpg) Yes, the young couple is quarreling.
I said Confucius meant what he said: You keep calling me brothers. If you two were brothers, I would tear my head off and kick it for you.
Strive to be a doctor version: Support!
I don’t know whether Luo Dong supports the young couple or Zheng Qiuji’s head.
After the penultimate monthly exam, He Bo finally broke free from his busy affairs and invited Gu Qingming and others to return to Heshu Town.
The scenery along the road remains the same, and the influx of tourists in Heshu Town remains the same. Everything in Heshu Town is quaint and old, and has become mottled with the years. Even commercialization has not tainted it with the slightest worldly color.
It's just that something is different.
For example... the temple has just opened, but under the operation of Shuhe City CPA, it has attracted a large number of people and has become a new generation of internet celebrity check-in spot for the Hebo Temple.
“The wind is very clean.”
Gu Qingming stood at the entrance of Hebo Temple and felt the breath of the wind around him. After Hebo asked the vengeful spirits to get rid of the pollution and return to Heshu Town, the resentment accumulated in the wind was cleared by the new Hebo, and it became a lot cleaner.
"That means... I did a good job."
A strange voice with a familiar tone came from beside the flowing river of books. A man wearing a local cultural and creative T-shirt and a short knitted shawl with ethnic patterns waved to the four members of the Superpower Society.
Although the man's face was unfamiliar, the four psychics who had fought alongside Ha Bo instantly recognized his presence.
"The river... uh..."
Seeing the high school students struggling over what to call them, the man chuckled and said, "Just call me Feng Xiu."
Feng Xiu is the human name of He Bo in local legends. However, due to the long time ago, only a few old people in Shuhe Town know this, and it is not too prominent to be called by tourists.
"OK, Brother Feng Xiu."
Chu Zhongyuan made an OK gesture and was the first to change his words.
"Dingshuizhu, you've been of great help. Thank you."
Gu Qingming wanted to bow, but felt that it was too distant. He was thinking about how to proceed next, but Feng Xiu waved his hand quickly: "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I have no use for that thing. I should thank you for making it useful."
Feng Xiu's words were sincere, so Gu Qingming didn't say anything more. He just kept the help in mind.
Accompanied by Feng Xiu, several high school students who had never been to a temple were extremely curious. The Hebo Temple in Shuhe Town is the oldest Hebo Temple with hundreds of years of history. The exquisite wood carvings are all cultural relics left over from hundreds of years ago. Chu Zhongyuan, Luo Dong and Zheng Qiuji ran into the temple like three monkeys and began to marvel at the exquisiteness of the ancient architecture.
Feng Xiu shook his head in amusement, thinking that they were just a bunch of kids after all. He turned around, only to find that Gu Qingming was still there, staring blankly at the smoke curling up from the incense burner in front of He Bo.
"What happened to the Lord?"
Feng Xiu came over and asked jokingly.
"...I have some questions for you."
Gu Qingming pushed his glasses and finally decided that He Bo was the best person to ask.
"Do you know who the Cretaceous Immortal is?"
After hearing the hissing sound of the snake that vaguely formed human language, Gu Qingming had many questions about the Cretaceous Immortal King mentioned by the snake summoned by Jiamu.
If he heard correctly, and considering his own special ability called Bai Ke Lan, then the Bai Ke Immortal King that the snake was referring to should indeed be referring to himself.
But why?
He should have been just an ordinary high school student who had awakened superpowers.
Gu Qingming checked the archive records on the CPA official website, and the entries related to chalk showed the answer "0 search results", which meant that he did not have enough authority.
C-level psychics are different from D-level psychics and are fully capable of querying some high-level mysterious files.
This only goes to show that the word "chalk" involves more than he thought.
"…Well, this question is indeed difficult to answer, but I know how it feels to explore the truth but not get it. I can only tell you what I know."
Feng Xiu sighed and explained.
"It's okay, that's enough."
Gu Qingming nodded.
Although Feng Xiu has existed for more than two hundred years, compared with some famous mysteries, he can still be regarded as just a young man.
However, under the name of cooperation with CPA, he did find out a lot of rare information.
It is said that the Immortal Lord of Cretaceous used to be a guard in the depths of the underworld, standing at the most dangerous and terrifying gate of the Nine Abysses, quietly strangling evil spirits.
But for some unknown reason, hundreds of years ago, this immortal king disappeared without a trace and has since vanished into the deepest part of the Jiuyuan.
"For some mystics who have been to the underworld, the word chalk probably means killing and fighting."
Feng Xiu's voice was a little hesitant.
"He was like a machine that never gets tired. He kept fighting and preventing the door from opening."
"Door?"
Gu Qingming looked up in surprise.
"What...door?"
"I don't know, but maybe it's the gate of hell that seals countless evil spirits and will bring about a catastrophe when opened..."
Feng Xiu shook his head. This was all he knew about these two words that had been classified as confidential by the CPA and the underworld.
"……Thanks."
Gu Qingming was not discouraged. At least he knew two pieces of information: the "gate" deep in the Nine Abyss of the Underworld and that the immortal was the guard of the gate.
He suddenly remembered the boundary of his own supernatural powers, which seemed to be... the boundary of recognition of the ancient existence.
Maybe... the source of my supernatural powers is the recognition of that immortal?
Gu Qingming thought, so it is possible that the snake mistook him for the Bai Ke Lan's Immortal Lord because of Bai Ke Lan's aura.
The young man shook his head, as if he wanted to throw away all the messy thoughts, and followed Feng Xiu into the Hebo Temple.
On the night they returned from Heshu Town, Cao Sheng finally dragged the four people from the Supernatural Society to the CPA headquarters for class again.
It was the beginning of the new semester since I last attended the supernatural class at CPA Lantai Headquarters. In the blink of an eye, nearly four months had passed. Under the night sky, the CPA Lantai Headquarters was still brightly lit, especially the cyber investigation floor.
"Still tracking down Ceobe?"
Gu Qingming saw from a distance countless figures staggering around in the cyber investigation layer, and felt deeply that being a social animal was really miserable.
"Yeah, the intelligence department said that those guys will start causing trouble again in the summer."
Keobe is now the enemy of all CPAs regardless of their authority. In order to track him down, all the network detectives in Lantai City, Linling City and Luosu City are working overtime.
Gu Qingming and the others were also aware of this and could only suddenly feel fortunate in their hearts that they were field workers.
Cao Sheng spread his hands helplessly. He turned around to explain to Gu Qingming and the others. After he had said a few words, he accidentally bumped into someone behind him.
"Feel sorry--"
Before Cao Sheng could finish his words, he staggered and almost lost his balance.
Chu Zhongyuan: ...You insist on walking backwards and not turning on the en factor. Now you're in trouble, aren't you?
"Cao Sheng, have you been staying up late to track down clues again? Why do you stumble even when you walk?"
A playful laugh came from behind Cao Sheng, and a beautiful girl with long black hair curved her eyebrows slightly with a hint of worry.
"So it's you, Jiang Lanye. Look, Ceob has come to this point. How can you not stay up all night to track down clues?"
Cao Sheng rubbed his temples. He was indeed very tired recently, otherwise he would not have been able to fail to notice someone behind him.
"Same as me."
Behind Jiang Lanye, a young girl with dark brown shoulder-length curly hair spoke. Her voice was a little hoarse and her eyes were severely dark.
Gu Qingming noticed that she was wearing the emblem of Gongshu College on her chest.
Gongshu College is the mysterious technology research and development department of CPA. CPA's super mysterious computer that is capable of detecting mysterious concentrations in the entire area, and thermal weapons with additional mysterious factors that can hurt mysterious creatures are both the results of this research and development department.
Cao Sheng: "Well... that's still a little different, because you stay up all night every day, and I only do it occasionally."
Jiang Lanye waved to the four high school students on the side as a greeting: "Are these your students?"
Cao Sheng smiled: "Of course it's my student, my proudest student."
He did not hesitate, but said this naturally, as if showing off his proudest treasure.
"……very nice."
Jiang Lanye was stunned. She had never heard Cao Sheng speak of anyone in such an affirmative tone.
Of course, the four boys from the Superpower Club were just as confused as she was.
When Cao Sheng taught them supernatural skills, he always said something mean: "Alas, you are still young." "You are still far away from me." "Is this all you can do?"
A weird atmosphere.
But now, the equally young teacher proudly introduces them in front of his colleagues, as if meeting these children is one of the luckiest things in Cao Sheng's life.
Jiang Lanye didn't say much. She saw that Cao Sheng was preparing to take the students to train their superpowers. She said, "I'll wait for you at the Internet Investigation Office." After giving Cao Sheng a meaningful look, she hurried away.
"The brown-haired girl is called Lan Lin, and she is a researcher at Gongshu College. The intercom you are using is her credit."
Cao Sheng noticed the confusion of several high school students and thought they were curious about the two girls, so he started to explain.
"The other one is Jiang Lanye, a powerful monarch-level psychic from the Northeast Division sent from Linling. He is ready to kill Keobe together if he makes any move."
Cao Sheng pushed open the door of the supernatural training room and explained the identities of the two girls one by one.
"Has the Intelligence Department obtained accurate information? They have even begun to mobilize personnel across regions..."
Zheng Qiuji stood in front of the supernatural power detector according to the old rules and sighed.
"Yes, the news is accurate. At the latest in August, these guys will probably want to do something big again, or in Luosha City, where the concentration of mysterious people is extremely high."
Cao Sheng shook his head, looking like he had a headache.
"Only those with B-level or higher abilities can participate in this mission. Be careful during your summer vacation and don't go to Luosha."
Chu Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Boss Cao, we are wasting our lives."
Cao Sheng: ...I know you guys are unlucky, but sometimes your luck is really unrealistic. Even if you two have special abilities, it's a bit outrageous that you run into the natural disaster Keobe...
