Chapter 250 Fan Dongqing's Bet, the Dying Ghost Bell (asking for monthly tickets)
On August 5th, the time was still 5 a.m. If it were Lijing in the past, it would be completely silent at this point, with only occasional lights on.
Not to mention that this is during the summer vacation. Students don’t need to get up early for morning self-study, and adults don’t need to get up to pick up their children. Both parties have reached a consensus and would like to sleep a little longer.
But the huge commotion inside the Starlight Amusement Park undoubtedly attracted attention from all directions.
When nearby residents opened their windows or looked out from the rooftops, they saw an ice-blue meteorite falling from the sky and slowly landing on the ground of the amusement park. The Ferris wheel that used to be visible had now been reduced to ruins, with the remains of the carriages scattered in a mess in the huge crater.
The surging cold current swept in with the morning breeze, blowing on everyone's cheeks. It didn't feel like summer at all, it felt like being in the dead of winter.
This scene was like the end of the world. They were amazed and finally came to their senses from the shock. But when they wanted to pick up their mobile phones or cameras to take pictures, they found that no matter what kind of electronic equipment they used, it seemed like it had malfunctioned and could not be turned on.
At this moment, a black Maybach was parked at the entrance of Lijing Starlight Amusement Park. The headlights cut through the night sky and illuminated the inflatable dolls in the amusement park.
In the driver's seat, Fan Dongqing was taking a nap leaning against the back of the chair. This was a good time to sleep, but unexpectedly, Gui Zhong suddenly appeared and provoked them with a method comparable to beating gongs and drums, as if he was afraid that they could not find him.
So, Fan Dongqing and Yuriel thought about it and finally decided to let the latter go.
Seeing the car door suddenly opened, Fan Dongqing opened his eyes and looked at the white-haired girl who was like an ice sculpture through the rearview mirror.
"Is it over?" Fan Dongqing asked.
"Yes, all that's left is for the association's people to clean up the scene." Uriel said expressionlessly.
"It would be better if I take action. It will be faster." Fan Dongqing said, glancing at the time on the display screen.
"Your power is too loud and powerful. It will wake up everyone in Lijing. If you don't want to be scolded for disturbing others, just shut up. You are the only one in Hongyi who has made your identity public, and you will be the only one who will be scolded by name." Yuriel said lightly.
"You're right. If you cool down the city like you do, it won't be considered a nuisance to the residents?"
"It's summer, so I'm doing a good deed for the people, saving them money on air conditioning. If it's winter, just ignore what I said." Yuriel said, turning her head to look at the amusement park outside the window. "As for the amusement park, the Alien Association will fund its reconstruction, and with the cooperation of relevant professional psychics, it will be completed within a week."
"Yes, yes, yes... Baimao, you are the most stubborn." Fan Dongqing yawned, "So, who is under the ghost bell mask?"
Uriel was stunned.
"What do you mean?" Fan Dongqing raised his eyebrows, "You didn't see it, did you?"
"His body was accidentally destroyed by a meteorite." Uriel put her hand on her chin and pondered.
Fan Dongqing was silent for a moment, but couldn't help laughing: "Baimao...you always say that I don't follow the rules, aren't you the same?"
"I just forgot."
"Obviously I was just in a hurry to play games."
"Oh, you discovered all this." Yuriel simply stopped pretending and took out her cell phone to open the mobile game.
"It doesn't really matter who Gui Zhong is. It's enough for the top brass to know that he's dead." Fan Dongqing shrugged. "I'll cover for you when we get back. I'll say in the report that you got into a tough fight and had no choice but to leave the body behind."
"It's better not to fight this cover." Yuriel said calmly, "If we fight against the Calamity-level and get into a tough battle, we will be laughed at by other members."
She lowered her head to play a mobile game, tapping the screen so hard that it made a clicking sound. The car seat was dim, and the fluorescent light was reflected in her ice-blue pupils.
"After all, he has time-related abilities. Let's give him some face. What's wrong with a hard fight?" Fan Dongqing supported his chin with his hand, looked down at his phone, and said casually.
"If he has been promoted to the Calamity Grade, it's hard to say." Yuriel said, "As far as I know, there seems to be no Calamity Grade in the Time System in history. I don't know how it will perform in detail."
"That's just an assumption. He's already dead." Fan Dongqing disagreed. "Besides, if everyone can be promoted to the Calamity Level, what do we need Hongyi for?"
"Don't be too arrogant... You are indeed a leader among the Calamity Grade, but that doesn't mean you are invincible."
"What else? Are you going to use the Lake Hunters as an example to suppress me? Although I do want to fight them."
"There are still people with restricted abilities in the world."
"It's clearly stated on the official website that restricted movies died in the last century."
"Then don't be so narcissistic." Yuriel said calmly, "This is the first time I've seen someone browsing his own Weibo super topic when he has nothing to do."
Her voice was clearly emotionless, but one could still hear a hint of contempt in it.
"That's because I'm the only one in Rainbow Wing who has revealed his identity to the public."
"Congratulations, big star. You'll be even more famous without Blue Arc."
"I'm just as hot with a blue arc."
"Really? He's at least several times more talked about than you."
"What else do we have left to do?" Fan Dongqing turned off his phone, yawned, and asked casually.
“Blue Arc,” Uriel whispered. “Still waiting for his response.”
"It's him again. Hasn't he contacted you yet?"
"No."
Uriel shook her head, opened the communication directory, and glanced at the names on it.
"You seem to care about him."
“I thought he was a frivolous person under his helmet, but he’s not what I imagined.” Uriel said calmly, “My intuition is rarely wrong, so I’m a little curious.”
Fan Dongqing glanced at her through the rearview mirror, "Do you think he will join Hongyi in the end?"
"have no idea."
"I bet he will."
"No one is betting with you."
"It doesn't matter. Whether he joins or not, we have to take the same flight with Urushihara Ruri and Jiujiu back to New York tomorrow night." Fan Dongqing said, "But this kid shouldn't be too naive... He has been judged as a natural disaster by the association, and he still takes it for granted that he can return to ordinary life?"
Uriel was silent.
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come to China, what would you like to eat for breakfast?" Fan Dongqing asked as he inserted the key and put his hands on the steering wheel.
"Whatever, don't disturb me from doing my work." After saying that, Uriel put on a pair of pure white Apple headphones and sat quietly in the car playing games.
Fan Dongqing shrugged nonchalantly and turned the key to start the engine. The Maybach roared and rushed forward in the first rays of morning sunshine.
At the same time, in Li Jing's basement.
The exhaust fan was humming, and a young man with white hair and blue eyes was standing under the ceiling covered with yellow mold.
An old man covered in wounds was lying on the hospital bed. There was a cut on his chest and blood stained the corners of his bearded mouth. His cloak was hanging messily on the ground and his silver and black breathing mask was thrown in the corner.
Yagubaru shrank his body to the size of a palm and sat obediently on Cesar's shoulder.
Little Shark stared at the man on the hospital bed, mumbling and cursing, "Hurry up and save this clock tower bastard, or a college student will turn evil. Only elementary school students are worthy of turning evil, but college students who turn evil will be ridiculed!"
As it spoke, it controlled the black tide to wrap around Gui Zhong's wound, stopping the blood that was gushing out from the hole in Gui Zhong's chest.
"Mr. Gui Zhong is really something. He acted so rashly. If he had been a step later, there would have been no hope."
Xizel whispered to himself and crushed the generation-level wonder fragment "Phoenix" in his right hand.
An orange light flashed by, and a giant bird bathed in flames rose up and spread its ochre-red wings. It flapped its wings gently, and a feather of fire fell down. The feathers formed by the flames fell into the black hole on the ghost bell's chest.
There are two kinds of fire from the phoenix, one of which is the healing fire. During this period, Xizel relied on the healing fire of the phoenix to practice medicine in Lijing and make money.
At the same time, he gradually understood the concept of currency in the outside world, so he raised the price from 2,000 yuan per person to 4,000 yuan per person. Despite this, the gangsters were still very enthusiastic about him.
"Wait a minute!" Little Shark suddenly shouted, "Shark Shark has something to say!"
"What's wrong, Yagubaru?" Xizel was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the shark on his shoulder.
"Can you save his life but not completely heal his wounds, so that this old man with the Clock Tower will have to stay in bed for at least ten days or half a month?"
"Of course, but why do you have to do this, Yagubaru?" Xizel said, "Mr. Gui Zhong provided us with free accommodation. He is indebted to us."
"This is to prevent this idiot from going to his death. If he goes after those Hongyi people again, we can't be there every time!" Yagubaru said seriously, "It is precisely because he has done us a favor that we should let him lie down until Hongyi leaves the city before getting up, isn't that right?"
As he said that, the little shark slapped Cesar's back of the head hard with his fin.
"That makes sense, but I don't really need to do that. Even if I let the Phoenix heal most of his injuries, he still has to lie down for a while."
"Why?" Yagubaru was stunned.
Xizel raised his eyes to meet the gaze of the Phoenix, then lowered his eyes to look at the body of the ghost clock.
"The Phoenix told me that the ice created by the psychic still remained in Mr. Gui Zhong's body after it melted, affecting his blood flow and psychic genes." He said slowly, "If we want to completely solve this problem, we must burn every inch of blood in Mr. Gui Zhong's body, but this is obviously impossible."
"What should we do then?"
"It should be OK to leave Mr. Ghost Bell alone for a while. This phenomenon will not endanger his life, and it is a good thing for him."
"Why?"
"Didn't you say that Mr. Gui Zhong's ability is to freeze time?" Xizel said calmly, "Phoenix said that Mr. Gui Zhong's genes are undergoing hidden changes... Maybe he will benefit from it by accident, such as learning how to freeze his own time. Of course, I'm just talking nonsense."
"Well...in any case, we can just ignore him?" Little Shark asked suspiciously.
"We still have to come over every day. Should we notify Mr. Makutaki?"
“No, for now, we are the only two who know that he is still alive!” Yagubaru raised his fin and pressed it against his mouth. “Shh… Xizel, you must keep it a secret.”
"I promise you, Yagubaru."
"Then let's go and have a big meal. Today is another day for Dr. Zersi to do good deeds." Yagubaru shook his head, revealing a row of sharp little fangs.
"Well, when Mr. Gui Zhong wakes up, we must ask him for money and ask him to reimburse our food expenses during this period." Xizel nodded and silently took back the Phoenix.
"You are really getting more and more adapted to the outside world, Cesar."
"How else can I support you?"
The man and the shark walked out of the dim basement while talking and laughing, leaving only the unshaven old man lying motionless on the hospital bed.
He was sweating profusely, and in his dream he saw a world of ice and snow. Endless bells rang across the sky, and the violent scarlet in his pupils seemed to turn into a wild beast, ready to burst out.
