Chapter 171
Like a silver snake shuttling through the darkness, purple lightning leaped across the curtain of the dark night, followed by deafening thunder, as if tearing the sky and the earth apart.
Three cars with high beams on were driving on the mountain road amidst lightning and thunder. The rain was pouring down, and the sound of rain hitting the hood was as loud as hammering.
The two cars in front and behind are ordinary cars, as if escorting the most conspicuous van in the middle.
The tightly closed car windows separate the two worlds, and the sound of rain and thunder is not as loud as the female voice telling late-night stories on the car channel.
But perhaps because the weather was too bad and the signal was not very good, the broadcast would occasionally jam and make an irritating snowflake sound.
The original seats in the back row were removed and it was hard to tell whether they were good or bad. I only vaguely felt that an old one-meter-wide wooden box was fixed on top.
They who were transporting the goods had no idea what was inside. The second man in charge of guarding the goods sat in the passenger seat, took a deep puff of cigarette, thought about the almost sky-high transportation fee, and couldn't help but look at the objects in the rearview mirror frequently.
"Damn it, why do you have to send it at this time?"
It's most likely to cause accidents in the mountains in this kind of weather, such as mudslides and landslides, which may bury you at any time.
For those wealthy masters, giving the money is like buying their lives.
"Brother, what on earth is in there? It doesn't look worth much."
Not only the newcomers who had just joined the team were confused, but the person who was called the second brother was also muttering in his heart.
But there is nothing wrong with having this kind of thought, but it is a big problem to speak it out.
"Put your head on your belt! Put away your reckless thoughts! Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"
The newcomer quickly looked away and begged for mercy with a flattering smile.
"I was wrong, second brother. I was really wrong. I won't do it again!"
He then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, but was thinking in his heart, I wonder if my elder brother knows what is inside.
The commission they accepted this time was through an acquaintance. The client was very generous and so far everything has been going very smoothly. The only problem was that time was too tight and they had to rush there overnight in a thunderstorm.
The worst situations did not happen, and they successfully arrived at the villa deep in the mountains.
This old house, which seemed to be at least seventy or eighty years old, gave off an eerie atmosphere on the stormy night. The housekeeper had already been waiting at the door, and other deacons came to the van holding umbrellas.
"We delivered the stuff."
The burly man was the big brother of their team of psychics. He watched the deacons carry the wooden box away without showing any curiosity.
Although the butler was old and had gray hair, he still maintained an inviolable and stern temperament.
"knew."
The eldest brother didn't say anything else, but the second brother was a little dissatisfied.
"Then when will our money arrive?"
Seeing that the eldest brother did not stop him, the second brother became more confident.
The old butler just glanced at him calmly without even a smile.
Then, a sound of money arriving came from my brother's phone.
It's just something that can be solved with money. It's simply impossible to default on it. It's too cheap.
Who are you looking down on, old man?
The second brother spat in his heart. He didn't dare to do it. No! He just didn't want to cause trouble for his eldest brother!
After the handover, they got in the car and prepared to leave.
The butlers had already carried the wooden box in, and the old butler instructed them to carry it directly to the master's study.
Liuhua Zhuju was leaning back in his chair to rest, while his wife Ayuan was sleeping on the chaise longue specially prepared for her beside the desk.
The master and the mistress have been in love for twenty years and have never been separated for long. Now they are inseparable and have a deep affection for each other.
After the old butler asked quietly, the butlers walked in carefully, for fear of waking up the lady.
After the deacons left, the old butler closed the door and waited to help Liuhua Zhuju open the seemingly broken wooden box.
Liuhua Zhuju was not in a hurry. He stood up and walked to Ayuan and gently pushed her.
"Ma'am, it's time to wake up. The stuff has arrived."
Upon learning that the [token] was recovered, Ayuan was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He hadn't slept well since last night, and after another whole day of guarding, he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes by the evening.
But Ayuan was still reluctant to go back to the bedroom to rest, for fear of missing it, so Liuhua Zhuju let her sleep in the study and promised her that he would wake her up as soon as the things arrived.
Liuhua Zhuju didn't want to be disliked by his lady, so he woke her up as agreed.
Ayuan opened his eyes reluctantly, but when he realized what his lover said, he sat up immediately.
“Already here?!”
She was so delighted that she almost jumped up from the chaise longue. If Liuhua Zhuju hadn't supported her, Ayuan would probably have had close contact with the ground before seeing the [token].
But even though she walked so unsteadily, she did not stop, nor did she care about the so-called etiquette, and came to the wooden box.
“Open it quickly!”
She knelt devoutly in front of the wooden box, staring at it intently, wanting to be the first person to witness the token see the light of day again when the old butler opened the box.
There was nothing strange and shining, nor was there any gold and silver filling up the treasure chest as in the stereotype.
Unlike the shabby wooden box on the outside, the inside was filled with soft cotton, and the small black box, the size of a palm, was wrapped in fine silk.
Ayuan held the small black box in both hands and almost cried.
But she still tried to stay calm as much as possible. She couldn't lose her composure before she confirmed with her own eyes that it was a [token].
Liuhua Zhuju squatted down beside Ayuan and saw the lady's hesitation. "It's okay, open it. They don't dare to fool you easily."
Ayuan then nodded and opened the box nervously.
The materialized black mist first diffused out from the gap, and just being touched by it made Ayuan feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
But this is proof that the [token] is genuine.
It was not until the box was opened that I could finally see the entirety of the [token].
This is a pair of earrings embellished with black pearls.
The pearl is the source of the black mist, which seems to be caused by someone's supernatural powers that have been immersing it for many years.
【despair】
This is the wonderful taste that Ayuan is savoring.
"Ah - Lord Yigong, finally...finally I can see you!" Ayuan held the box devoutly towards his lover and lowered his head.
Liuhua Zhuju took it with both hands, "Ayuan, our dream is finally going to come true."
After so many years of dormancy, the obsession passed down by our parents finally...
“Madam, without your company, I would not have been able to hold on until now.” Liuhua Zhuju put away the pearl earrings carefully, and the black fog that could affect people's minds finally dissipated.
He hugged Ayuan tightly, and the woman was in tears.
"We have come this far together, dear."
——
The school will naturally have to register the future whereabouts of the students in the Lingyan class.
Before this, both the Secret Text Institute and the Institute of Supernatural Powers had sent job invitations to Xi Siling. His supernatural powers could provide very useful help in any field.
In fact, everyone has received the same invitation, of course, from various social organizations.
What surprised Xi Siling the most was that Nemo, the president of the [Superpower Mutual Aid Association], sent him an invitation.
The invitation letter said that Xi Siling was also a victim and they welcomed his arrival.
After failing in the election for the leader of the superpowers, Nemo did not disappear but continued to be active, and he actually won many rights and interests that benefited superpowers.
But how can Niemo say that Xi Siling is a victim? Do they know what she has gone through?
Xi Siling did not respond to this invitation, as if she had never received it.
If they are casting a wide net, then Xi Siling will just pretend that he hasn't seen anything. If they are targeting him alone, then the people from the Mutual Aid Association will always come looking for him again.
Xi Siling didn't like this kind of self-righteous invitation. Instead, the mention of the 'victim' made him wary.
At least after deciding the future, none of this matters anymore.
The first thing the superpower team did after its establishment was to get Lin Zhipei an alien network credential.
For a superpower who wants to make a name for himself in the superpower world, a superpower network certificate is extremely important.
"Hmm? You all have them?"
"Yes."
"Um."
The puppy didn't realize that he was left behind and he was unhappy.
Xi Siling changed the subject before Xiao Gou could vent his emotions, "Once Pepe gets the certificate, we should think about what we should do first. Maybe look at the commission?"
A team of superpowers can make a lot of money, but it also means danger sometimes.
But since we have chosen the name [Invincible], what danger is there to be afraid of?
Liu Huaqi hesitated a little, but he didn't hesitate for long.
"Maybe I should go home first."
He knew very well what would happen in the near future, and he would never forget the memory of that despair.
But this time, Liuhuaqi will not be deceived or sacrificed again.
He was finally going to deal with this matter.
Xi Siling certainly knew what Liuhua Cui meant. As the most perfect and outstanding child of this generation of the Liuhua family, he would become the host of the great god [Yigong].
Before he could figure out how to start, the sincere Lin Zhipei had already spoken.
"Can we go together?"
He didn't have any special ideas, he just wanted to follow his friend to visit his home.
Just treat it as a game!
Xi Siling's idea was actually very simple. No matter what, he would not let Liu Huaqi face it alone.
Liuhuacui had two thoughts in his mind.
First, tell him to stay away and not put his friends in danger.
The second one is that he is nostalgic and always wants to be with his friends when facing an impending crisis.
As if this would fill him with courage and confidence.
"The team has just been established, and the members have to separate? This is not good." Xi Siling smiled, "Why not take us with you?"
Xi Siling is selfish, but his selfishness is Liuhuacui.
At least this time, he would not become a victim of sacrifice again.
Looking at his friends' eyes, he suddenly realized that he was actually nervous and...afraid.
But now, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Okay." Liu Huaqi nodded in agreement. "Probably the day after graduation, is that okay?"
Lin Zhipei certainly had no objection, "So what is 77 going to do when he returns home? To meet his parents? He just got his diploma and should show it off, hehe!"
Liu Huaqi smiled, and that smile seemed to be followed by a hint of self-mockery, "Yes, they want to see me."
But that joy has turned into nothingness without any emotional fluctuations.
All he needs to do is face it.
