On the night of November 24, in the basement sanatorium of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Lianjiang Medical University. .org
When Dong Chengling came here, he realized that this was the "supernormal institution" under the control of the Lianjiang Countermeasures System. This hospital located in the suburbs was a treatment institution specially established for awakened people, and there were a large number of underage awakened patients.
Those who come to this type of hospital for treatment and transformation are basically newborn awakeners who have not received any supernatural education. Once a newborn awakener is unable to control his supernatural power and goes berserk, unless the situation is so serious that he can be directly shot, he will be transferred to this hospital for "abandonment" treatment.
The monks of the Countermeasures Bureau were reluctant to approach this hospital because of the spirit-dispersing array set up inside the hospital. For the newly awakened ones, this array was enough to completely return them to mortals. Whether the awakened ones lost their minds because of the power they gained, or really went crazy because of the power, they had to accept labor reform here, so that they could realize the power of the country's iron fist.
After turning these awakeners into useless people, they will be released for the next step. If Lin Xianyu had not awakened in the academy, if there was no Ren Suo in Tianlian Academy, a self-harming awakening like her would most likely be sent to this hospital for treatment.
Therefore, this hospital has two functions: treatment and imprisonment.
Dong Chengling came to this hospital not to treat an illness.
She now lives in a sanatorium on the third floor underground. Apart from not being able to see the sun, the hospital has not treated her unfairly in the slightest: there is a computer and a TV in the sanatorium, the double bed has a Simmons mattress, the bathroom has a large bathtub, and even the toilet is an automatic cleaning toilet imported from Fanying. There are also game consoles and other facilities. Dong Chengling can order breakfast, lunch, and dinner according to the menu. Even if the food is not on the menu, as long as she wants to eat it, the hospital is willing to order takeout from the city.
The only thing she couldn't do was leave the room and practice.
In her perception, if the normal world is an ocean of spiritual energy, and the room where spiritual energy gathers is a spiritual energy ice coffin, then this hospital is an spiritual energy desert, and her room is a barren desert that is always scorched by the scorching sun - the spiritual energy she can obtain from the outside world can only barely maintain the operation of her cyclone.
What is very subtle is that the spiritual energy used by Dong Cheng Lingneng can just pull people from the ends of the earth to his side, but it cannot send people back to the ends of the earth - it is much easier to retrieve a kite than to let it go.
Recalling the meeting with You Jian five days ago, Dong Chengling felt a chill in her heart: with just one glance, he actually saw through her entire identity.
Dong Chengling was very sure that the concentration of spiritual energy in this room was specially set: not so low as to affect her foundation and make her cyclone barely function; but not so high as to give her the power to resist... or help others.
Just as she thought, even though the Countermeasures Bureau knew that Qiao Muyi left her house, and even though theoretically it was very likely that she sent Qiao Muyi away, when she firmly denied all the accusations, the Countermeasures System did not make things difficult for her.
Firstly, from a personal point of view, Dong Chengling did nothing wrong - she didn't know about Qiao Muyi's situation beforehand, nor did she commit any crime, and the space magic left no trace, so it was impossible to accuse her of shielding someone.
Secondly, from a social perspective, Dong Chengling is a top-ranked fourth-turn cultivator in the country, and her spatial magic makes her an important strategic talent. She has made many contributions before, and her character and words are deeply recognized by countless people. She said that Qiao Muyi's departure had nothing to do with her, at least all the teachers and students of Tianlian Academy believed it - how could Teacher Dong lie?
But this time, the Demon King hunting incident was not only the responsibility of the Countermeasures Bureau, but also an international incident involving the six major supernatural organizations in the world. In order to avoid suspicion and to catch the Demon King, Dong Chengling, who had the ability to move in space and was familiar with Qiao Muyi, was placed under house arrest here.
Dong Chengling had anticipated this, and had not attempted to practice in the past few days, but had been studying education books and preparing lessons.
Because she had been in seclusion for many days, her classes were taught by other teachers. Dong Chengling had originally planned to catch up with the teaching progress, and now that she had this free time, she naturally would not waste it.
Dong Chengling's eyebrows suddenly twitched. He stopped working, saved the current word document, walked to the door and opened it. He just happened to see two soldiers holding automatic rifles at the door saluting the newcomers.
"Will fourth-turn monks be attracted to each other?" Nancy, who was standing behind You Jian, looked at Dong Chengling, who had opened the door first, with surprise. She thought that the sound insulation of this special treatment room should be very good, and Dong Chengling would not be able to hear their footsteps.
You Jian, with his hands in his sweatpants pockets, said, "I just burst out with my fourth level aura and greeted her."
"Why don't I know?"
"My beloved, you are too weak to withstand my thunder and rain."
Nancy's face darkened, and she spat secretly, thinking that she had to quickly cultivate to the third level, otherwise she would always be mocked by this straight man. However, she was not like before, jumping up and down when she heard You Jian's words. She was now used to You Jian's crazy words and was too lazy to say anything.
Because You Jian has been running around Xuan Kingdom these days, saving people from disasters and punishing evil, and whether out of genuine admiration or for the sake of Xuan Kingdom's face, Nancy doesn't want to embarrass You Jian in public.
Looking at them, Dong Chengling made way for them. You Jian waved his hand and said, "I don't want to go in. I'm already feeling uncomfortable here. If I go in, I won't even be able to hold my urine."
Nancy twitched her lips when she heard this. She really wanted to slap You Jian's butt - if you want to pee, just tell me earlier! Are you a child?
Dong Chengling didn't care and smiled: "Then why did you endure the pain and come to see me? What's the matter?"
You Jian straightened his hunched back slightly, narrowed his eyes, and the murderous intent that chilled him to the bone spread out like ripples. Dong Chengling's hair instantly trembled, and her muscles tensed up, as if she was facing a natural enemy. An indescribable sense of panic rose in her heart.
However, she suppressed her cowardice in an instant, and ignited a raging fighting spirit. Her beautiful and clear eyes reflected all the details of You Jian. You Jian felt a sense of fatal crisis, as if a needle was pressed against his throat, oppressing him so much that he dared not move!
“Humph.” You Jian dispersed his aura and twisted his neck. “To be able to advance to the fourth level at this time, there really is no incompetent person.”
Dong Chengling also withdrew from the battle and said calmly: "Compared to the 2,500 miles of the Great Wall, Chengling still has a lot to learn."
2500 miles... When You Jian heard this number, he felt a little annoyed. He thought that Ren Zuo must have done it on purpose and gave him a title like idiot.
He shook his head and said, "I am here to ask you again."
"Can you help us catch Qiao Muyi?"
You Jian did not ask whether Dong Chengling knew where Qiao Muyi was going, nor did he ask whether Dong Chengling had sent Qiao Muyi away. Instead, he seemed to be asking Dong Chengling for help.
But Dong Chengling was not good at investigation at all, and inviting her to participate in the manhunt was basically a waste of manpower, so she immediately understood You Jian's subtext: I know it was you who did it, I am sure it was you who did it.
Perhaps the Lianjiang Countermeasures Bureau could not see any traces of space movement, but Dong Chengling had gone to Tianjing to participate in the research on space magic. It was not surprising that the Great Wall, which enjoyed all the spiritual technology achievements of Tianjing, knew that she had used space magic.
Therefore, Dong Chengling’s answer is: “No.”
Having said that, Dong Chengling turned and walked back to her room, intending to continue completing her lesson preparation materials - the drafts she had in hand would almost last until the winter vacation.
"There is one more thing." You Jian stopped her and said, "You can leave here now."
Dong Chengling looked at You Jian in surprise: "I told you, I can't help you."
"Your Majesty, your words are as good as gold." You Jian sneered, "It is precisely because you are incapable that the country is not interested in continuing to support you and let you eat for free here. Go back and teach.
Even without you, I can still catch Qiao Muyi."
Just like no one believed Dong Chengling would lie, similarly no one believed You Jian would lie - the former was because 'how could a beautiful woman who is confident, self-disciplined and has good character lie', and the latter was because 'there is no need for a straight male to lie if he is so perverted that he doesn't even try to hide his abnormality'.
Dong Chengling confirmed that You Jian did not seem to be joking, so he went back and sent the results of his lesson preparations to his email, opened the educational book he was still reading, wrote down the page numbers, and left the convalescent room where he had stayed for five days.
When the three of them took the elevator back to the ground, You Jian suddenly said, "My beloved concubine will follow you for the next few days."
Dong Chengling immediately looked at Nancy. Nancy suppressed her anger and said word by word: "First, I am not his beloved concubine. Second, I will follow you for the next few days. This is the order of the Great Wall. You must cooperate with my actions."
Dong Chengling said: "So I can't go back to school to teach?"
"No, you can teach normally, but when I need you, you have to take me to move through space immediately." Nancy pointed at herself: "You should know who I am, right?"
"Ai… Reneser, Asgard, World Tree Task Force?"
Although Dong Chengling changed his words instantly, Nancy immediately realized something was wrong and thought that she would never act with You Jian again. The others were almost brainwashed by his foul mouth. "Yes, I came here specifically for the Fairy Palace. The Demon King incident had nothing to do with me, but now people from the Fairy Palace appeared at the disaster site to kill the source of the disaster, so I need your strength."
"When the people from the Immortal Palace appear at the source of the disaster, do you want me to take you there?" Dong Chengling asked, "But the source of the disaster will appear all over the world..."
At this time, You Jian said in a strange tone, "You can lead people to move across borders."
This is a statement, not a question.
Dong Chengling, who didn't like lying, didn't like lying. Since You Jian saw through her, she stopped pretending and nodded, "Okay, do you want to live with me?"
She also understood the Countermeasures Bureau's thinking - they did not want to place under house arrest a fourth-turn monk with a promising future and no faults. Nancy happened to need her assistance, so they asked Nancy to follow her at all times and serve as a surveillance officer.
If Dong Chengling really dared to teleport Qiao Muyi back, Nancy would definitely find out, and then the Countermeasures Bureau would not be as easy to talk to as it is now. And there might be secret sentries who were always watching Dong Chengling and would take action immediately if they found any fluctuations in space.
Simply put, the Countermeasures Bureau wants to conduct a sting operation.
"Well, these few days, no matter if you sleep in class, I will be by your side, ready to go at any time." Nancy said, "There should be no one in your guest room, right?"
"...There is a little guest."
Nancy blinked and immediately remembered the interpersonal relationships in Dong Chengling's intelligence: "Ren Xiaojiu? Ren Suo's non-biological sister?"
Dong Chengling hummed: "She has been at Ren Suo's house these days. I should pick her up after I go back... So you don't mind, right?"
Although they were at Ren Suo's house, Dong Chengling asked Ren Xingmei and the other three to help take care of Xiao Jiu. She didn't know if they got along well... As for why Ren Suo was not at home, Dong Chengling had naturally colluded with Bai Ji to make up their mind. Bai Ji didn't mind creating the impression that "Ren Suo and I are so familiar with each other that we can sleep in the same bed" for everyone.
Nancy said cheerfully: "Don't mind, don't mind. I heard that Ren Xiaojiu is a very cute little girl..."
"Great, I'll tidy up the sofa for you to sleep on." Dong Chengling breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Nancy's face turned as black as coal. At this time, the elevator reached the first floor. After the three of them left the hospital gate, Dong Chengling couldn't help but exhale a breath of cold air. Seeing that the ground outside the hospital was wet, it was obvious that it had just rained. He said, "I haven't been out for a few days. Has the Lianjiang River become cold?"
"The cold air is coming again." Nancy said with a smile, "I have to wear an extra coat, but a fourth-rank monk shouldn't be afraid of the cold, right?"
You Jian wore a breathable sports jacket and sports pants from summer to winter, with the zipper only halfway open to reveal the single garment underneath.
Not to mention Lianjiang in the south of Xuan Country, when he went to Heilongjiang a few days ago, he was still wearing this sportswear and chopped the source of chaos in the snow at minus 10°C.
Dong Chengling rubbed his palms and said softly: "People who are not afraid of cold will still feel cold when they encounter cold."
She raised her head and looked at the bright waning moon hanging in the night sky that had been cleansed by rain. She crossed her fingers and clasped them in front of her lips, her voice as low as a mosquito's, as if she was greeting a friend far away.
Do you know that Lianjiang has become cold?
……
"It's so cold outside."
Walking into the first floor of Tokyo Skytree, Qiao Muyi breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "It's so windy here in Asakusa. It's still warm inside the building."
Ren Suo glanced at Qiao Muyi's lower body and said, "It's almost December, and the lowest temperature is only 8°C, and you're still wearing short jeans and knee-high socks... But you're at level three like me, and I'm not cold, so do you really feel cold?"
Having had a lot of money these days, Qiao Muyi went traveling and shopping in major shopping malls, changing her clothes every day. The most eye-catching outfit today was a pair of short jeans with black over-the-knee socks, revealing a small patch of dazzling white on her thighs, forcing Ren Suo to praise her in twenty different ways according to her desires early in the morning before she would give up.
"Do you think I'm as tough as you? I'm afraid of the cold." Qiao Muyi said disdainfully, pulling him to the front desk to buy tickets: "Come on, I want to go to the top floor to take pictures."
Entering the elevator that was as big as a men's restroom, Ren Suo, Qiao Muyi and a group of other passengers took it to the 350m high first observation deck. A quarter of the elevator ceiling was transparent, so they could clearly see themselves getting closer and closer to the highest point.
The moment he left the elevator, Ren Suo's first feeling was - it was warmer than down there!
The air conditioning here is heating!
They walked around the 350-meter observation deck. The electronic operating table in front of the observation window could directly display the street view, allowing them to compare the scenery captured by the computer with the scenery seen with their own eyes.
There were also several screens playing music videos. Ren Suo took a look and found that it was a singing music video of a girl group called Star Girls. There were also some voice portraits of anime characters next to it. These characters seemed to have visited the Skytree in anime games. Press the button in front of the portrait to hear their words in the work: "This is a rare opportunity. Let's take a photo together. Long Si, come closer", "The warmest place in the world is on the top of the Skytree"...
"That person," Qiao Muyi pointed at the photographer who was taking wedding photos for a couple in front and said, "He is also the one who carries the clues."
"good!"
Ren Suo knew that this should be the final investigation - in the game, after the investigation of the "White Tower" was completed, the game plot would advance to the next stage.
After successfully getting the clue, Qiao Muyi stood aside thoughtfully, looking at the scenery in the distance in silence. Ren Suo did not disturb her, allowing her to organize her thoughts quietly.
At this time, Qiao Muyi asked out of the blue: "Do you think Bai Wu Gou is prettier or the wedding dress is prettier?"
"Huh?" Ren Suo was stunned for a moment - weren't you sorting out the clues?
"We saw Bai Wu Gou in the shrine yesterday, and we saw the wedding dress here tonight. You are qualified to speak." Qiao Muyi said, looking at him with her chin held high.
Yesterday during the day, when they went to Meiji Jingu Shrine, they happened to encounter an authentic Shinto wedding. The groom wore a black kimono and a plain cloth pleated skirt, with a small white flower ball on his chest, a white fan in his hand, and white shoes on his feet; the bride wore a white wedding dress that symbolized purity, and she was walking slowly under a large red umbrella held by a special person.
Unlike domestic and Western weddings, the Shinto wedding is very complicated. The participants include priests, goddesses (unmarried girls), and even the parents of both parties. The whole ceremony looks very solemn and quiet. When they pass by, they are not allowed to get close and can only watch from a distance.
Ren Suo didn't care about this question, and he didn't know Qiao Muyi's inclination, so he answered with the old trick: "They all look good."
"If it were you, which wedding would you choose?"
“I want both.”
Qiao Muyi glanced at him and said, "Do you want to get married twice?"
"…Thank you for your anticipation, but I don't even know if I'll ever get married."
"That's right." Qiao Muyi affirmed his opinion of herself: "You are quite self-aware."
Ren Suo curled his lips and asked, "Which one do you like?"
“I like them all.”
Ren Suo rolled his eyes: "So you want to get married twice too?"
"No, I want to get married three times. I also like the phoenix crown, bridal veil and red head cover in China." Qiao Muyi glanced at Ren Suo and said, "Why, do you think I have no chance of getting married?"
After losing two consecutive rounds of the sharp-tongued duel, Ren Suo was dejected and silent. He followed Qiao Muyi and took the elevator to the second observation deck at 445 meters. He walked through the spiral corridor, savored the feeling of walking in the air, and walked slowly for a few minutes before reaching 450 meters, the highest point that tourists can reach.
There is a special easter egg in the 450-meter observatory: the location of the shooting of the nine-tailed fox. A huge screen shows the scenery at the top of the Tokyo Skytree, and a huge photo is placed on the ground. The photo shows the scenery from the top of the Tokyo Skytree, and the painting of the nine-tailed fox stands on the top of the photo, but the face of the nine-tailed fox is empty.
Visitors can hide behind the painting of a nine-tailed fox, put their own face in the position of the fox's face, and then have others help take the photo, and they can take a "crude and inferior version of "Nine-tailed Fox Standing Proudly at Skytree"."
Of course, this requires money.
Moreover, business was very good, with a lot of people queuing up to take pictures. Ren Suo thought that when he returned, he would use the "unnamed account" to pretend to be a nine-tailed fox to collect some money from the operator of the Skytree.
Qiao Muyi was unable to resist the temptation and pulled him to line up to pay for the photo. After the photo was taken, she quickly came over to look at the photo and asked, "How is it? Is it good-looking?"
"It's OK." Ren Suo commented honestly. The others were rough and inferior versions, but Qiao Muyi's could be considered a dLc version - although there were some differences from the original version, but as a dLc (extra content) version there was no problem.
“Then let’s…” Qiao Muyi stopped talking halfway and pulled him to the other side of the open space: “Let’s take another picture over there!”
Ren Suo asked, "I thought you were going to ask who's prettier, you or the nine-tailed fox."
"I won't ask, am I such a boring person?" Qiao Muyi said disdainfully: "Of course I am good-looking."
"Are you so confident?"
"Because I'm in front of you now," Qiao Muyi raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "Can the nine-tailed fox in the photo be prettier than me in real life?"
Ren Suo was slightly startled, and looked at Qiao Muyi carefully. He had to admit that she was right - the girl in front of him, who had warmth, aura, expression, and eyes, was indeed more dazzling than the nine-tailed fox in the photo.
"Right." Qiao Muyi said, "I must be the most beautiful in your eyes now... Turn on the camera, this is it!"
Ren Suo turned on the camera on his phone and found that Qiao Muyi was almost leaning on him. He sighed and said, "It's so warm here. Aren't you hot when you're so close to me..."
"It's not hot, the temperature is just right."
Qiao Muyi crossed her fingers and held them in front of her lips, as if she was praying to the gods in heaven in Tokyo, the place closest to the sky.
People who like warmth will naturally feel more at ease when they find a warm home.
Looking at the photos on the phone, Qiao Muyi's thoughts gradually drifted away.
She also didn't expect that she would actually collect clues while traveling, and now she has traced the truth about the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, she did not have the necessary evidence to prove her innocence or to accuse the mastermind.
Moreover, that person's status and strength are simply beyond her ability to contend with now.
Perhaps in the end, it will all be empty talk.
Fortunately, she didn't have any hope at the beginning, so she is not disappointed now.
Qiao Muyi turned her head and saw the waning moon hanging high in the night sky from the 450-meter-high Skytree.
Lianjiang has many springs, summers, autumns and winters that belong to you, but I only have one warm winter in Tokyo.
