Chapter 29 Is everything going in a good direction?
The golden light of the Tower of Yao at night crawled in from the living room window, illuminating a corner. The kitchen was a little quiet, with only Ling Xun and his sister enjoying supper.
Ling Xun was a little disappointed. He thought that he would reveal his cooking skills and let his sister understand the difference between each other's cooking skills. From then on, he would stay away from the kitchen and take over here.
By the way, let me tell you that today’s series of good news will be celebrated by the siblings.
Now, the calm reaction of his sister Ling Qiong made Ling Xun feel a little hit and he lost his interest in speaking.
"Do you go to the interrogation meeting today to go through the residence qualification procedures?"
Ling Qiong spoke and glanced at his younger brother, "Is the processing going smoothly?"
Ling Xun came to his senses, chewing food in his mouth, and said, "It has been done, it is my sister's official residence right. I have to wait until I open the second consciousness before I turn on it..."
Speaking of this, Ling Xun stopped and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Because of the "cross light mark", Ling Xun felt that it was not difficult to start the second consciousness before the age of 20.
However, for most practitioners of Yao Ability, it is extremely difficult to start the second Yao Awareness before the age of 20.
Besides, Ling Xun still has a low sense of Yao. In the eyes of Director Jian and others, he is already very lucky to be able to start the first Yao consciousness at the age of 16.
Isn’t it sad for my sister to blurt out like this?
However, Ling Qiong's expression was calm and there was no turmoil. He nodded slightly and said, "I thought something was wrong..."
"What can happen during the interrogation meeting..." Ling Xun smiled, the duck's face appeared in his mind, and then he imagined an iron fist that smashed the arrogant face hard.
Ling Qiong raised his chopsticks, pointed to Ling Xun's left wrist, and said, "Then why doesn't your Yaoneng watch turn on?"
Ling Xun was stunned and then realized that after getting the Yaoneng watch today, he followed Officer Jian to the medical rescue department for an interview, and then rushed to the resettlement center to get supplies, so busy that he forgot.
"Uh..., I was too haste at that time and forgot to open it."
While fiddling with the Yaoneng watch, Ling Xun couldn't find the boot button and couldn't help scratching his head, "How to turn on this thing?"
"You have oil on your hands, isn't it dirty?"
Seeing Ling Xun pressing her all around, her sister frowned, put down the bowls and chopsticks, took the rag, carefully wiped her hands three times, got up and walked over, "Don't move, I'll do it."
As Ling Qiong bent down and lowered her head, a faint fragrance came. It was not the smell of soap in the bathroom, but the natural body fragrance of her sister.
Looking at her sister's fair neck and thin shoulders, Ling Xun was a little stunned and felt a little confused. It was too hard for her to support her family alone in order to take care of her younger brother.
drop……
With a sound, the surface of Yaoneng's watch lit up, and Ling Qiong stood up, "Okay. The power button is here."
"Where is the charger at only such a little power? Did you forget to take it?" Looking at the interface of the watch, there was only a little power. Ling Xun recalled carefully that he remembered that there was no charger.
Ling Qiong sighed and said, "Don't fiddle with it, have a good meal. Yaoneng watch does not require a charger. You can wear Yaoneng when practicing Yaoneng, or you can charge it under the brilliance of Yao's Tower."
Is it so advanced? No wonder the charges are so expensive... Ling Xun was amazed and said that his sister is still an older sister, and he knows more.
Then, he remembered that three years ago, when his parents were still alive, the family lived in the outer city, and it was normal for his sister to be familiar with the operation of the Yaoneng watch.
For Ling Xun, even though he inherited the original memory, the various changes in the Ling family's sudden changes three years ago were always very vague, as if he was full of unreality in his dreams.
Perhaps, for a 13-year-old boy, such memories are too sad and too heavy, and he doesn't want to remember them. After Ling Xun inherits the memories, these memory fragments become even more blurred.
After being stunned, Ling Xun immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "Sister. There is also good news. Today I will go to the medical rescue department for an interview..."
I briefly talked about my encounter with Director Jian in the afternoon and the interview process.
Considering signing a confidentiality agreement, Ling Xun only said that he passed the interview with the Medical Rescue Department and became an intern there.
"Half a day of work and half a day of school, I have a salary of more than 4,000 Yao coins every month!"
Ling Xun smiled, acting like a 16-year-old boy showing off his good job in front of his relatives.
Of course, the monthly salary cannot be said to be 10,000 yuan, otherwise, the extraordinary nature of the work will be exposed immediately.
"The work of the Medical Rescue Department is quite good, much better than in the law enforcement team and the Feng Yao Legion. If parents are still there, they will definitely be happy to hear this news." The sister rarely smiled in praise.
"In the future, my income will be high. If you save some money, we will move out of here and go to the center of the outer city. Life will be better..."
Ling Xun smiled and portrayed a bright future. He looked at his sister's face, his arms wearing sleeves, and added in his heart that he would save money to help his sister treat him.
"Um."
My sister agreed and started to clean up the dishes, "Then you will have a lot of hard work in the future. I'll prepare breakfast and dinner."
"Uh..." Ling Xun blinked, his expression a little dull.
...
night.
In the dim room, Ling Xun was fiddling with Yaoneng watches and was familiar with the various functions of this thing.
The Yaoneng watches in this world are much more important than Blue Star’s mobile phones. They not only represent the identity of a resident, but also give priority to the protection of Yaoneng’s armed forces when encountering major nightmare incidents.
There are also functions such as communication and receiving various important messages released by the city hall.
Of course, in terms of function, Yaoneng watches are far less than mobile phones. They can neither surf the Internet nor have various apps available for download.
"Strange, the manufacturing process of Yaoneng watches is higher-end than mobile phones..."
After fiddling for a while, Ling Xun discovered this fact, "The technological level of this world was probably much higher than that of Blue Star."
Ling Xun didn't know much about the history of this world, but he just knew that before the terrifying creatures like "Erosion" appeared, the world had a highly developed civilization.
However, in the more than two thousand years of erosion and poisoning the world, no matter how brilliant the civilization is, it has become the dust of history and is hard to remember by future generations.
Today, most of the resources of major countries are used to resist nightmares. The diversified scientific and technological projects on Blue Star are difficult to have a soil for development.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Yaoneng watch vibrated, and the dial lit up slightly, not dazzling in the dim light, and the light source did not diverge, so you could see the number of incoming calls clearly, which was quite hidden.
This is the alert mode of Yaoneng watch. When encountering danger, it will not expose its own position because of calls.
This is also the normal model of Yaoneng watches. If you want to switch to other modes, you need to manually do it yourself, taking into account the safety of the wearer.
"Who called it so late? Are the staff of the interrogation meeting? Is it too diligent to work overtime so late..."
"It may also be a fraud call, just to find new residents who have opened their accounts..."
Looking at the unfamiliar call, Ling Xun was muttering and pressed the button on the side of the dial.
Then, a trace of Yaoneng is condensed to connect with the chassis of the Yaoneng watch.
The next moment, Ling Xun felt his wrist slightly numb, and he could hear the breathing sound of the other end of the communication in his ear, as if he was wearing an invisible headset.
This communication method is really magical... The Yaoneng watch is really high-end!
"Who is it?" Ling Xun raised his Yaoneng watch and spoke first.
"Hey..., is it 'Brother Yong'? Is it Ling Xun? It's me!" A familiar voice came from the other end.
"Gu Hui?" Ling Xun was stunned, and the appearance of "pig teammate" appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously asked and confirmed.
"Hehe..., isn't it me? 'Brother Yong', why have you only applied for resident qualification certification now? I have been worried for several days and thought you didn't enter the city." Gu Hui laughed, and couldn't help coughing twice. His originally excited voice seemed a little weak.
I haven't seen each other these days, why did the "pig teammate" feel weaker and weaker... Ling Xun couldn't help laughing, with the joy of contacting friends.
"It took two days to move and clean your new home, and I had to go and apply for the residence qualification..."
Ling Xun briefly talked about the recent situation over the past three days, and asked strangely: "How do you know my number? I have only got the Yaoneng watch for a long time."
On the other end, Gu Hui smiled, with a hint of pride, and said lightly: "You don't think about it, what are we doing? I am the star of the law enforcement team. It's not a matter of minutes to find out a person's number."
A person's number can be found in minutes, which is a serious violation of residents' privacy rights and whether there is any human rights... Ling Xun secretly complained and then asked about Gu Hui's recent situation.
"Ah..., because I'm so outstanding in actual training, I went to the law enforcement team for an internship as soon as I came back and was busy... As the rising star of the law enforcement team, it's so hard!" Gu Hui complained in pain and joy.
Immediately, Gu Hui talked about Bian Diewu's recent situation. Because he understood the second consciousness and killed two second-level [Erosion Nightmare] in actual combat training, he was summoned to the reserve for the elite team of Feng Yao Legion for half a month of special training.
"Hmph! Just because Butterfly killed two second-level [Erosion Nightmare], it was counted on Bi Jun's monkey's team, which made their team's ranking surpass our team at once. His family also looked for connections and wanted to include Bi Jun on the list of Feng Yao Legion's [Key Talent Training]. You didn't see the monkey who found me and showed off in front of me." On the other end, Gu Hui grinded his teeth while talking, and he was very unhappy.
It was the duck again... Ling Xun pursed his lips and said, "Don't mention the noisy duck, we should celebrate Butterfly Dance entering the Elite Squad Reservoir."
"Hey..., Bi Jun's monkey is indeed a bit of a duck-sounding voice..., 'Brother Yong' you said very appropriately..."
Gu Hui laughed, repeated the "duck" several times, and his voice became happy, "However, Bihou was not proud for a day, and I followed the method you said... and directly removed the list of [key talent training]... Haha, it's a pity that I didn't see that bastard's angry look."
Ling Xun was stunned. He remembered that when they were in the suburbs, the two had quietly discussed various countermeasures against Bi Jun. Unexpectedly, Gu Hui took all the measures to take action.
No wonder at the interrogation meeting, Bi Jun would set up a trap to deal with me. I'm afraid there was such a reason... Ling Xun also laughed and felt much more refreshed.
At this moment, the other person's voice came from the other end, calling Gu Hui's name.
"'Brother Yong', I won't talk to you anymore, I'm busy again, it seems like a major incident happened on Cross Avenue..."
"When the Butterfly Dance Special Training is over, let's get together. This is my number, you can save it..."
Gu Hui said quickly. Before he finished speaking, he seemed to be busy and hung up the communication.
Seeing the glimmer on the dial disappear, Ling Xun smiled. Gu Hui and Bian Diewu were the two friends he really met in this world. When reconnecting with friends, it was also the beginning of integrating into life in the outer city.
Everything is moving in a good direction...
"Life in the future should be easier..."
After looking at the time, it was almost ten o'clock. Ling Xun changed into his pajamas, lay on the bed, and went to bed on time.
...
Early in the morning.
Ling Xun sat at the head of the bed, looking at a message lit up by Yaoneng's watch, and was in a daze with cold sweat all over his body.
As usual, Ling Xun woke up in pain in the early morning because of the pain of the "cross light marks" on his back.
However, the cold sweat that kept popping out of him was mostly due to an important warning issued by the City Hall.
"......In the outer city area, the intersection of Cross Avenue and Jianji Road, a major nightmare incident occurred around 7 o'clock last night. It is known that more than 30 casualties have been caused, and most of the dead are nearby wanderers..."
The intersection of Cross Avenue and Jianji Road, wasn’t that the road I walked when I returned home last night? Most of the dead were wanderers... Ling Xun’s mind saw the two wandering children who followed him last night, and they couldn’t help but feel excited.
If he had returned home a little later last night, he would have probably become a member of the death list...
