Chapter 118 Amulet (a small part of the comments)
"Eh? So this is the amulet that Mr. Bai Zhou gave us?" Si Yu'an held the exquisite wooden sign handed over by the young man in his palm, exclaimed softly and observed it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Is this the strength of a high-level psychic... I feel that the aura around me is different too!"
The wooden plaque is engraved with dense patterns, feels smooth and has a hard texture, with a faint light flowing on it. The four wooden plaques have different ups and downs on the sides, and when put together they form a whole. It is the kind of prop that makes people feel extraordinary just by its appearance and aura.
But Qi Heng’s amulet is quite special. The three people's eyes shifted to the rag doll in the boy's hand.
Because this person stuffed the wooden sign into the rag doll's body and sewed it together with the bulging cotton wool. Now, the boy who had just finished his manual work looked at it from top to bottom with satisfaction and received Lin Muyu's gentle praise.
"Hmm?" Noticing their gazes, Qi Heng put away his needlework and curled his eyes slyly, "How about it? Isn't this a good idea? It not only solves the problem of the wooden sign hurting people, but also solves the problem of having to carry two props separately."
Although the doll was taken apart and sewn again, it had a very unfortunate fate.
Ye Yunhe touched the doll with his wooden sign. Even though the two related props were separated by a layer of cloth, they both emitted a faint light of the same frequency. She gripped the tool tightly, and the mysterious and reassuring aura was grasped tightly in her palm, turning into a warm current that filled her heart.
According to what Qi Heng said in the group: when he was strolling in the artificial lake, he was completely watched by Bai Zhou who had been waiting in the pavilion early. After a series of questions and answers known only to heaven and earth, Bai Zhou generously gave him two pairs of matching amulets as a welcome gift for the young man to join the government.
This is quite daytime.
After the three of them replied "received" in the group, they tacitly went to Qi Heng's dormitory to gather, completely ignoring the expectant look in their superiors' eyes that were eager for free labor.
"So your physique must have attracted Mr. Bai Zhou's attention." Ye Yunhe turned into a famous detective. "Based on his intelligence on the Dark Nest and the premise of entering the illusion to rescue people that day, he must have discovered your attraction to the cultists a long time ago."
"I came to see you this time specifically to give you a high-end prop. Maybe it is also a kind of protection for you. But to be honest, I feel a lot more relieved after knowing this news. Is this the attention from a senior?" She couldn't help but click her tongue.
Qi Heng deeply agrees.
Lin Muyu was concerned about something else: "Did Mr. Bai Zhou tell you what your physical condition is like?"
"..." The young boy fell into strange silence.
After a while, he coughed twice under the curious gaze of his teammates, and suddenly spoke in a tone that did not belong to Qi Heng. His expression also revealed an inexplicable leisure, familiar yet strange: "Ah, you said your physique——"
He said in a long voice: "I don't know about this. After all, I am just an ordinary psychic. How can I understand this kind of problem better than a professional researcher? At this point, I can only give you a few of the psychic props that I am most in need of as a consolation."
After vividly performing the scene at that time, Qi Heng returned to his expressionless face, quietly waiting for the audience's feedback.
"..." The three of them fell into strange silence.
Well... such a familiar flavor, such a familiar riddle man's reply. He could guess the expression on the young man's face without even thinking about it. It was because the young man imitated it so closely that he even subconsciously got goose bumps on his arms.
"...Cough." Lin Muyu coughed with his hands against his lips, breaking the silence.
He chose to change the subject.
"Xiao Heng, you... your demeanor and expressions are much more lively now than before. Not bad. Drink more nourishing soup in the evening."
It’s better not to transfer.
——
The only ones who were hurt were the readers who were the victims of the sting operation.
It would have been so great, as they were all so excited by this historic scene and couldn't wait to know what would happen next... What on earth did Bai Zhou specifically look for Qi Heng for? What topics will they discuss? Can the mystery of the special body be solved this time?
All kinds of doubts turned into excitement and gathered in my heart. It was clearly such a good hook, but it came to an abrupt end after seeing the content of the next page. It was as abrupt as a hailstorm that suddenly fell on a sunny day with white clouds, and then a rainbow hung in the sky, hitting the person's head and causing pain, but then the eyes became bright again.
No, this can't even be considered a hook, let alone "fishing enforcement". After all, at least there will be follow-up. Even if the defense is broken by the words "the update is over", people will still get the corresponding anticipation and wait for the next update.
But cartoonists are different.
TA used Bai Zhou's stunningly beautiful face as bait to attract a large group of readers, and even threw them back into the water before the fish could react. Yes, not in the bucket, but in the water. The bait just flashed once in the fish's mouth to let the fish taste it, and then was taken back by the hateful fisherman. It was so cruel and ruthless.
The readers looked at the series of dark pages that followed in disbelief, feeling that they had been so excited just now that they were like the most invincible villain in history, and they were so angry that they had no place to express their anger.
The fish, because they can’t see the skipped clips and know the details, they are so angry that they break down and cry and make a fuss. So pitiful——
“No? Huh?? It’s over just like that?? It just jumped to the foursome scene just like that?? My two-person meeting just ended just like that???”
“TA…TA just jumped over with a squawk! (I slapped my thighs at the top of my lungs) What a huge blow this is to us little readers aa ...
"No? What can't we see? (Slamming the table) Let me visit!!"
“God knows how wide my eyes widened when I saw that pitch-black darkness…”
"I doubted my phone, my app, my data traffic, but I never doubted you, cartoonist--!!! (beats his chest and stamps his feet)"
"Yes, the cat finally woke up, and I finally died (falling to the ground with a smile.jpg)"
…
There was no point in breaking down the defenses, the matter was settled, and what was even more hopeless was that this meeting might have completely lost its plot. Readers left heartbroken footprints on the forum and decided not to get emotional anymore.
Unless the cartoonist inserted this paragraph as a flashback into a certain plot point.
——
Today's government is no ordinary one.
After finishing the observation meeting of the amulet, the four began to discuss other things.
"There have been a lot of strange things recently." Ye Yunhe held his chin, "The government suddenly created a new position, and I don't know who it is for. Listening to the recent rumors, most of them are focused on that different copy."
"A storm is about to come." She suddenly shook her head and sighed, as if she was talking about something that was already old-fashioned.
"Don't scare yourself."
Si Yuan patted his chest and showed his excellent social skills to his teammates: "I have heard from various corners that the newly established position is specially set up for ordinary people."
"I just don't understand what they are for. They are really very mixed up. Not only are they scattered in various corners, but most of them are stationed near the psychics. At first glance, they look like a battle formation."
He stroked his chin: "Could it be that there is some unknown meaning...?"
Hearing this, Qi Heng suddenly retrieved a valid memory from his memory, which came from a boring conversation when he was having his blood drawn by the researcher.
"Don't worry. Having a special physique doesn't mean you are different from ordinary people. We just haven't discovered it yet. Even ordinary people have many surprises that we haven't discovered yet."
The dark-eyed researcher who drew his blood calmly told him to wake the boy from his trance-like state.
"Energy affinity is an area we have not yet explored. There are many mysteries that have not been solved. What I have to do is to master it thoroughly and have the power to control it. Obviously, we have made significant progress now and have put it into reality."
"So, don't worry, we won't force you to do anything beyond your will, you can trust us."
The researcher's eyes revealed calmness, and his calm tone gave people an inexplicable feeling of sincerity. Although he looked decadent due to lack of sleep, he gave people a unique sense of security.
What he said made Qi Heng confused for a moment.
The young boy blinked and stared at the researcher in front of him for a moment.
Then I realized it.
Oh, the other person was comforting him.
Maybe because he looked distracted and a little listless, people thought he was troubled by physical problems, so he made these seemingly irrelevant remarks.
As for the focused look now, should it be...giving him encouragement?
"Thank you." He pursed his lips and tried to show a kind, friendly, and grateful smile on his face that was 70% expressionless. "Of course I trust you."
"But, is energy affinity such a special research topic? From what you said, it seems there is a lot of hidden secrets."
"Hmm." Seeing that he had recovered somewhat, the researcher curled his lips slightly, "It is a process that has not yet been announced, so I cannot answer you without authorization."
"But it should be something that will happen in the next few days. You will know then."
…
The memories end here.
So, it is actually about the energy affinity of ordinary people? These two directions can actually be connected together... The end of the world is really full of surprises.
Qi Heng pursed his lips helplessly, then told his teammates who were still discussing the matter, earning shocked looks from Si and An.
“Damn it, I finally lost to Xiao Heng who had the lucky buff…!” Si Yuan beat his chest and stamped his feet, holding the amulet in front of his chest to try to absorb some luck.
Lin Muyu chuckled, obviously having understood who the "researcher" the boy was talking about: "This is the so-called important clue that fell from the sky."
According to Ke Yan's reply, this matter will be announced during this period, and maybe he will receive news about the "new position" in the work group soon.
Is this a job exclusively for ordinary people?
Ye Yunhe held his chin and thought.
"Could it be that ordinary people actually have the same constitution as the energy-affinity body?" She murmured, "I know nothing about this, and I really can't imagine what the manifestation would be... It can't be the same effect as a power bank, right?"
Then the distribution of workstations makes a lot of sense, isn't this a modern version of a large array that condenses energy? It’s just that the people used to hold the fortress have become humans.
It just sounds outrageous.
