Chapter 235 The Mist



Jiangzhong Military Equipment, Southeast Campus Security Department Duty Room.

It was late at night, and only one of the three buildings of the security department had a light on.

Although Jiangzhong Military Force boasts ten mountain and sea security guards, which sounds impressive, it is actually a last resort.

Because the campus of Jiangzhong Military Academy is really too big.

Dividing the area into eight regions according to location requires eight mountain and sea guardians to be stationed there. In addition, there is one person on mobile patrol and one person guarding the gate. Ten mountain and sea guardians are just enough.

With a slight whooshing sound, a figure landed on the third-floor corridor.

He removed his cloak, revealing the security uniform of Jiangzhong Military, and then walked into the brightly lit office.

Old Hu picked up the still-warm tea from the table, took a sip, stared blankly for a moment, and then pressed a button under his desk.

As the mechanism turned, the bookcase slid open to both sides, revealing a hidden room.

Old Hu entered the dark room and, with the help of the dim wall lamp, stared at the wall.

A map of the Jiangzhong military forces hung in the center of the wall, with extremely detailed markings and some secret passages and paths that would not appear on official maps.

In addition, the area around the map was covered with various documents.

Many of them are from ten years ago.

"You just went to the old campus secretly, didn't you?"

While Old Hu was lost in thought, a voice suddenly rang out from the corner.

Old Hu was startled and turned around warily, asking, "Who's there?"

But soon he relaxed again, because he had come to his senses and recognized the voice.

Sure enough, a boy in military uniform slowly emerged from the shadows.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

Old Hu frowned at first, then his expression changed. "Wait, how did you get into this room... Why couldn't I sense your presence just now? Could it be... There's someone else here?"

Seeing the old man's face change as if facing a formidable enemy, Shen Qian shook his head, "Only me."

"real?"

Old Hu looked on with disbelief.

He is a powerful expert from the Mountain and Sea Realms!

How could they not have noticed the presence of the sinker?

unless……

Old Hu suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing like lightning as he stared at Shen Qian. He was immediately horrified, for he discovered that he could not see through Shen Qian.

What the heck!

Realizing what was happening, Old Man Hu was completely stunned. He stared blankly at Shen Qian and asked incredulously, "You...you've broken through the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Old Hu's voice trembled with extreme shock.

"No." Shen Qian shook his head.

"Then what..."

"I have many secrets. If everyone could see through me, then my title as the national martial arts champion would be too undeserved, wouldn't it?" Shen Qian sneered.

Old Hu thought about it and realized it made sense. There was probably some kind of hidden method before he sank in. This kid was always so mysterious, which could explain it.

"Let's go sit outside."

Old Hu turned off the light and led Shen Qian out of the secret room.

Shen Qian took a sip of the tea that Old Hu handed him, and seeing that Old Hu had set up a pot again to cook instant noodles, Shen Qian couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You're already at the Mountain and Sea level, and you're still eating this?"

"You don't know anything, kid. I'm not eating instant noodles, I'm eating nostalgia."

Old Hu picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it in his mouth, saying nostalgically, "Back when we were studying at the military academy, things were much worse than what you are now. There weren't many fancy canteens, and food rations were strictly controlled. We could only eat until we were seven-tenths full, which was called 'forging our will'."

"Back then, I would often wake up hungry in the middle of the night and get through it by secretly hiding some instant noodles... Her noodles were so delicious, I'll never forget that taste."

"Uncle Hu, what's her name?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qian suddenly had a thought.

"Yinyin, her name is Yinyin... Lin Qiaoyin," Old Hu murmured. "Isn't it a beautiful name?"

Shen Qian nodded, "It sounds very nice."

At the same time, he took out his bracelet and sent a message to Ding Yi, "What's Auntie's name again?"

Ding Yi replied quickly. Shen Qian glanced at the three words "Lin Qiaoyin" in Ding Yi's reply, and his expression immediately turned strange.

When Shen Qian heard Ding Yi tell her mother's story at Beiwu a while ago, he felt that something was strange.

Now it finally matches up.

Clearly, the woman Old Hu couldn't forget was Ding Yi's mother.

The two were probably classmates during their military training period. After graduation, Lin Qiaoyin chose to stay at the school to teach, while Old Hu, who was a sycophant, also stayed to work as a security guard.

Later, Lin Qiaoyin married Ding Yi's father, and Old Man Hu upgraded to a "wolf warrior," continuing his incorrigible sycophantic behavior.

Who knew that this act of licking would actually lead to Lin Qiaoyin's divorce?

Unfortunately, before Old Hu could have a second spring in his life, the shocking event that occurred ten years ago happened.

...The above are all truths imagined before sinking, but the accuracy of the reconstruction should be extremely high.

This is fucking melodramatic!

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, he stepped forward and asked, "Did you just secretly go to the old campus?"

"Hmm." Old Hu didn't hide anything and nodded slightly. "This month it's finally my turn to be on duty in the southeast area. It's the closest to the old campus, so I naturally won't let this opportunity pass me by."

"How was it?" Shen Qian couldn't help but ask, "Did you see that 'door'?"

Although Shen Qian was unlikely to do anything foolish because of Old Hu's words, he was still extremely interested in the A-level "door".

"I saw it," Old Hu nodded.

"You... went in?"
