On July 24, on the D33 train, Ren Suo sat among a group of black vests, looking at his nose and his heart, sorting out his past two days.

First, it was Ren Xingmei's key. As soon as Ren Xingmei left, Ren Suo took a look and found that it was a one-star key as expected.

"One-star talent key: additional ability bonus chance +0%."

Just looking at this, Ren Suo couldn't guess Ren Xingmei's true awakening spell, but after Ren Xingmei left, the information about the bond system flowed through Ren Suo's mind like water -

"Ren Xingmei, level 1 bond, bond ability 'A rapid improvement': Insight +0%."

"It seems that my sister's awakening spell is a permanent passive spell. Maybe she herself may not know it..." Ren Suo thought to himself: "If I can get a 0% comprehension bonus, then my sister must be more than 30%."

Ren Suo estimated that the ability bonus gained from a level 1 bond was probably only one-tenth to one-third of that of the bonded object.

Ren Suo knew how terrifying Li Dan's "Insight into the World" was: According to him, the reason why he couldn't sleep was because his awakening ability was activated all the time. Even if he wore earplugs in the middle of the night, Li Dan could hear the sound of cars in the distance, the movement upstairs and downstairs, and the ripples caused by the wind blowing through the window...

The bond ability that Ren Suo obtained only slightly strengthened his five senses, which was equivalent to the five senses reaching the top level in each field: his eyes were at the level of a pilot, his tongue was at the level of a gourmet, and his ears were at the level of a gossipmonger...

Compared with Li Dan's ability, it is far from enough.

Ren Suo found out on the intranet that Li Dan's permanent passive spell was a special kind of 'semi-awakening': there were only spiritual energy meridians in the body, but no relevant awakening knowledge. However, the spells woven by the spiritual energy meridians were still taking effect.

It is precisely because he has no awakening knowledge that Li Dan is unable to control himself freely.

This kind of passive awakening seems to be uncommon in China. After all, the awakener does not know that he has awakened, but may think that he has suddenly developed some talent. Only Li Dan, whose side effects are so severe that he cannot have a naughty dream, is recognized by the country as having a passive awakening spell.

Fortunately, Ren Suo's bond system allows one to choose to turn bonds on and off. If Ren Suo doesn't need it, he can temporarily turn off specific bond abilities.

"So far, only my sister's bond ability has appeared. It seems that the bonds of others have not been formed."

In the bond system list, there were only 'Li Dan' and 'Ren Xingmei', which meant that Ren Suo's plan of 'solving all the troubles together' had completely failed - in the action that day, only Ren Xingmei and Ren Suo had formed a bond, and the other four awakeners did not trigger the system.

"Is it because I'm not involved enough? Or is it because we don't spend enough time together?" Ren Suo tilted his head and thought: "Or is it because... our relationship is not strong enough?"

Qiao Muyi, Dong Chengling, Gu Yueyan, Lin Xianyu...

We should be friends...right?

At this moment, Ren Suo felt his right hand being suddenly pressed down. He turned his head and found that his right hand had unknowingly occupied the positions of the two handles. Gu Yueyan, who was sitting on Ren Suo's right, seemed very dissatisfied. He was staring at him with a red face, shifting his center of gravity to the left side of his body and pressing hard on his right hand with his left hand.

"Sorry, sorry." Ren Suo quickly withdrew his hand.

It seems that there is still a long way to go if I want to establish a bond with others, Ren Suo sighed.

"What's wrong?" Dong Chengling, who was sitting on Gu Yueyan's right, turned his head and asked.

"It's okay." Gu Yueyan said quickly, quickly pulling his hand back and forcing a smile.

Dong Chengling grabbed Gu Yueyan's hand and smiled, "I'll follow you, it's okay."

"With us here, nothing will happen to you."

Qiao Muyi, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and said, "You are from the academy and are protected. This time you are assisting the Countermeasures Bureau in the investigation. We will not put you in danger."

"We have four captains leading the team this time, so you can rest assured."

The carriage of this high-speed train was filled with black-vest monks from the Countermeasures Bureau, including captain of Team One Li Dan, captain of Team Two Yao Fei, captain of Team Four Yi Zhao, captain of Team Seven Qiao Muyi, and all the corresponding combat team members were also present.

In addition to the Countermeasures Bureau, there are Ren Suo, Dong Chengling, Qiao Muyi and a few scholars, and their destination is - Xiang City.

It was the Xiangshi where Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan were nearly dragged into the lake and drowned.

After getting off the high-speed train, Ren Suo and his companions were immediately picked up and driven by police cars, rushing to Ailan Lake in the north of Xiang City. Traffic control and traffic police blockade were implemented in the area around Ailan Lake, and ordinary people were no longer allowed to approach Ailan Lake.

"We've arrived at Lake Elan." After passing many checkpoints, Ren Suo and his team finally reached their destination.

More than ten days later, Lake Elan had changed a lot - the trees around the lake had been cut down and cleared, and temporary tents had been erected. Ren Suo also saw engineers building fences, as if they were preparing to completely block off Lake Elan.

Lake Elan has also changed from a pool of autumn water into a fairy-tale world: the sparkling lake surface is completely wrapped in the rainbow, and the colorful lights weave a beautiful and grand marshmallow, which looks soft and gorgeous, and makes people feel good.

Ren Suo had good eyesight. In addition to seeing a bunch of helpless scholars fiddling with instruments outside the marshmallow, he also saw many soldiers setting up positions in the forest. Temporary positions had been built on the shore with sandbags and mud, and even heavy firepower such as light machine guns and mortars were ready!

Ren Suo noticed that the combatants closest to Marshmallow were a group of fully armed monks standing not far away. They were also wearing black vests but holding rifles. He was slightly moved.

Li Dan and the others went forward to negotiate with the person in charge of this place, and soon came back and said to them: "Ren Suo, Gu Yueyan, you will slowly approach the special secret realm ahead under the protection of the Yangtze River Army and a few of us. If anything happens, please tell us immediately and stay away from the secret realm."

"Yangtze River Troops?" Ren Suo raised his doubts just right.

Li Dan pointed to the soldiers who looked like special forces not far away and said: "The Yangtze River Force belongs to the military's monk sequence. Unlike the countermeasure system, they have received special firearms training suitable for monks. Combined with the monks' physique and spells, their lethality in small-team combat is not inferior to that of high-level monks."

"With a few of us, we can guarantee your safety."

Li Dan glanced at Dong Chengling behind Ren Suogu Yueyan and said, "If something unexpected really happens, Brother Dong Chengling, can you move them to a safe place?"

"Within the range visible to the naked eye, I can ensure that they are unharmed." Dong Chengling said, "That's why I came here."

After the discussion, the Yangtze River Corps immediately sent out twelve people to surround Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan, and then Li Dan's four captains also surrounded Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan, with a distance of no more than an arm's length between them, almost like sardines in a can, slowly approaching the rainbow marshmallow.

As he got closer, Ren Suo realized how big the marshmallow was - it was as high as five or six stories. When he got closer, he felt like he would be swallowed by the marshmallow at any time.

However, Ren Suo did not feel the slightest bit of fear in his heart. Instead, he wanted to crash into it and let his whole body sink into the softness.

"Is this... the outer layer of the secret realm?" Ren Suo couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this thing for the first time.

"The Magician Under the World Tree" has finally begun.
