When I said goodbye to Xia Lingyu and Li K'er, it was already night outside.
In April, the sun's direct point moves from the equator to the Tropic of Cancer, and the daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere are extended. Lianjiang City, where Ren Suo is located, is on the Tropic of Cancer, so the phenomenon of longer days and shorter nights is very obvious.
When it got dark, it was almost 7pm. Ren Suo had dinner with them and exchanged contact information before they decided to go back home.
The reason why they were able to maintain such a long conversation was because Ren Suo was curious about the Luoyang Ren Family. As he asked questions along the way, Li Keer and Xia Lingyu told him what they had learned, and even discussed while searching for information.
For example, the location of the Ren family was not actually Luoyang, but near a mountain range south of Luoyang, located in Taibai Plain, which is now the southwest of Beimang Mountain;
For example, how many people in history have mentioned their "friends with the surname Ren"? The records are often vague, but without exception, these "friends with the surname Ren" are all people who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, astronomy, geography, divination and astrology. Killing people is not a problem, and saving people is also amazing.
For example, Renjia is not actually a family, but a village, and most people in the village have the surname Ren. As time passed, the people of Renjia Village scattered all over China, which is the origin of the current surname Ren.
After hearing the latter part, Ren Suo had basically confirmed his thoughts. However, when it came to the later part, Ren Suo still wanted to know other records about the Ren family in Luoyang.
But according to Li Ke'er, there are actually not many records about the Ren family in Luoyang, and they have never appeared in orthodox historical materials. They were only mentioned in the letters of famous scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
If it weren't for the fact that a wide range of celebrities were involved, from Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, to Jiang Wei and Lu Xun, Ji Kang and Chen Lin, no one would even believe that such a big family really existed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
But that's all. Although the Ren family knew many celebrities, they never served as an official, nor did they join any force. In most records, the Ren family was described as a strange group of people who were similar to Chen Zhuan, Zhang Sanfeng, and Hua Tuo, with unique skills but living a carefree life.
However, unlike Chen Zhuan, Zhang Sanfeng, Hua Tuo and others, the Ren family never left any works, nor did they even accept any students or disciples. In short, it was very mysterious.
And because there was no mention of the Ren family in the official history, as time passed, fewer and fewer later scholars noticed the Ren family, and because there was no new historical data, they even abandoned it.
The reason why modern scholars paid attention to the Ren family is because of the standardization of archaeology and the establishment of databases, which made them notice the existence of such a strange family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
"There are actually not many scholars in China who study the Ren family." Li Ke'er said while waiting for the subway, "Teacher Cheng is just an enthusiast. At present, the only thing we know about the Ren family in China is that the Ren family is divided into three branches, one of which is your Fofeng Ren family. If you are really interested, why don't you go back to your hometown to look for records?"
"Yes."
Although he said so, Ren Suo had no such plan.
If it wasn't a coincidence, then Ren Suo estimated that he would know it soon and wouldn't need to look for it himself; if it was a coincidence... then Ren Suo would not be interested in his ancestors and would not look for them.
When the subway arrived at the station, Li Ke'er and Xia Lingyu said goodbye to Ren Suo and walked on the subway in the opposite direction. Ren Suo looked at them and thought that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
During these few hours, Ren Suo discovered that these two girls were not only awakened, but they also seemed to have a friendship that went beyond that between girls - but this was just speculation, after all, Ren Suo didn't have much 'relevant experience'.
I don't know how they got together. Judging from the current situation, they should know that they are both awakened. Although they are all awakened with "unformed keys", the fact that they can get together should not be much higher than winning the lottery.
However, Xuan Country has a large population, so anything that happens is not surprising.
The reason they met with Ren Suo was probably because they wanted to find a civil servant to ask if the government had any "special" actions, and to consider whether they should become civil servants.
After all, awakening has completely disrupted their life plans. Especially if they are unwilling to give up their awakening abilities and want to go further, the government's attitude is very important to them. If they can obtain the identity of a government official, that would be even better.
While Ren Suo was thinking, the subway arrived at the station, but suddenly a few screams came from the front.
He looked up and saw that the glass windows of the subway car were splashed with dark red blood!
The people waiting for the train were so frightened when they saw this that they stepped back one after another. At this time, the staff on the subway platform quickly came down and shouted loudly for the passengers not to panic and to evacuate people.
"Clothes"!
After equipping himself with the "clothes", Ren Suo calmly waited for the carriage to open.
With a click, the subway door burst open, and the people inside crawled out of the car in panic, while the train police and subway staff outside also went in one after another.
Ren Suo stood on the platform and saw through the window that there was only a young man in a coat left in the carriage, and the body of a middle-aged man on the ground - his head looked like it had been twisted several times, the flesh on his neck was torn apart, and blood was all over the ground.
When he saw the young man, Ren Suo felt a strange feeling in his heart.
But it wasn't that kind of extremely sexy feeling, but rather that kind of... disgusting feeling like smelling rotten leftover rice.
"Turn your back and put your hands up!" The train police officers slowly surrounded them with batons in their hands. Even if they were not equipped with guns, a few strong train police officers in black clothes approaching with batons were enough to scare an ordinary petty thief into collapse.
However, the young man in the coat just curled his lips, took a deep breath, and said with a ferocious expression: "Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will be rude!"
Um?
Ren Suo saw that a dark purple gas was coming out of the young man's body, and it seemed to be attached to the young man like a raging flame.
He was stunned at first, then immediately thought of something.
"Sir, please go back upstairs, here..." A female flight attendant came over and asked Ren Suo to leave, but when she pulled him, she found that Ren Suo didn't move at all.
"He's trying to run away." As soon as Ren Suo finished speaking, the young man in the car rushed towards the conductor like a compressed spring!
The conductor, who was prepared, swung his stick, but was directly broken by the young man's fist!
Four flight attendants surrounded him, but he simply bumped into them with his body and knocked them all away! Other staff members wanted to come over to help, but he threw them away with punches and kicks!
The female conductor was shocked when she saw this, and quickly grabbed Ren Suo's arm: "Hurry up, it's dangerous here!"
However, Ren Suo pushed her away and slowly approached the carriage, muttering in a low voice: "6, 5, 4..."
The young man ran out and saw that the platform was empty, with only a calm-looking man walking towards him.
The young man's face turned cold, but in Ren Suo's eyes, the black flames on his body became more intense.
"You are looking for death!"
“…1, 0. Okay, the skills are ready.” Ren Suo saw the young man punching at him, so he stepped back to avoid it.
"Run? Don't let me touch you if you dare!" The young man roared and punched again.
At this moment, Ren Suo's attention was extremely focused. He dodged the young man's fist by leaning sideways, and slapped him in the face with his left hand, knocking the young man to the ground!
"You--" The young man wanted to fight back immediately after falling to the ground, but after his fist was swung out, it fell limply.
What's going on? The young man was stunned. At this time, Ren Suo held up his head and slammed it against the wall!
The blow made him dizzy, and then Ren Suo punched him in the diaphragm between his ribs, and this time he finally passed out completely.
The back of the head and the diaphragm of the chest are the most likely to cause coma after being hit. Since he acquired the skill "Battle Entry", Ren Suo also searched the Internet for how to better knock people out.
Although there is no equipment...the effect looks pretty good.
At this time, the subway staff who were still able to move came over with a look of surprise. Ren Suo took out his work ID and called the captain to tell him about the situation of an awakened person committing a crime. You Jilong said that he would send someone over immediately and that the subway department would help deal with the incident.
After resolving this emergency, Ren Suo calmed down and felt a little scared.
Why did he suddenly rush over and subdue this man?
Yes, he has the "Lock", and it is almost easy for him to deal with this kind of awakened person without any background. As long as Ren Suo gets close to you, no matter what your ability is, you will be defeated - at least that's the case for now.
But what if he also has long-range attack capabilities?
At that time, Ren Suo, who had changed to "Spell·Lock", could only rely on himself to hold up his "clothes" to resist.
It must be said that Ren Suo's talent in magic is average, and the "clothing" he uses is very weak, and the defensive ability cannot guarantee his safety.
"Why would I take the initiative to subdue him?" Ren Suo looked at the fainted young man on the ground, still holding his arm with one hand, ready to continue "locking" him at any time.
Of course, there is another small reason:
"Found the key."
"The key is in a coma, start getting it."
"The key has been formed. It will take 72 seconds to retrieve it. You need to keep in contact with it. 71, 70, 69..."
In Ren Suo's eyes, the black flames on the young man's body were not as intense as before, but wisps of black smoke were coming out like embers.
This is... the image of the devil.
In "Over My Dead Body", demons and monsters are transformed from human monks. Their images in the game are basically humans with black smoke and flames wrapped around their bodies.
Demons are humans who have been polluted by spiritual energy. In addition to the changes in their mentality, more importantly, they will gradually lose their "humanity" and become props of spiritual energy, unable to communicate. They will only follow their previous practices and manipulate spiritual energy to wreak havoc.
Of course, those who have lost their humanity are the worst of the worst. Ren Suo has never seen such a thing in the game. Most of the demons are just bad guys in the "conventional sense". In the game, "demon" is the name of the humanoid monk monster.
Not all bad guys are demons, but demons are definitely bad guys who are extremely harmful to building a harmonious society.
But in reality, it’s different.
The first time Ren Suo saw this young man, he immediately confirmed that he was the 'demon'.
Then, naturally, he put on the "Spell·Lock" according to his ability and went forward to "slay the demons and monsters".
At this time, Ren Suo had almost no thoughts about "safety", "danger", "success rate" and the like. He only had one thought left - to slay demons and eliminate evil.
Why is this happening?
At this moment, Ren Suo felt the young man's body tremble, and then he saw the black flames on the young man's body suddenly gather and turn into light smoke, and drill into his arm with a "whoosh"!
