Volume 7: Frost Chapter 35: Fight
Jiang You rested for a while and then slowly stood up. He said, "My abdominal muscles are fighting. They will come out after fighting. You will see in a few months."
Tang Butian glanced at his belly, then at the French fries and fried chicken spread out on the workbench.
Lin Yu's voice came from downstairs, "Lao Jiang, your milk tea is here."
"Okay, I'll come down and get it." Jiang You went downstairs and came back up with a takeaway paper bag. He looked at Tang Butian, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Which one do you want, peach smoothie or ice cream tea?"
" peach ."
Jiang You took out a cup of light pink smoothie from the paper bag with a somewhat disappointed look. He handed the cup and straw to Tang Butian, then took the bag to the side bedroom, opened the door and threw a cup of milk tea in. Finally, he walked to the workbench, sat down, took out his black tea and took a sip.
He said: "Guan Qingtong and I went to Meng Yuanbai's place at noon."
Tang Butian pulled out a chair and sat down. She asked, "What did you find?"
"The patterns are somewhat similar," Jiang You took out his phone and opened the chat box with Guan Qingtong. He pushed the phone in front of Tang Butian and said, "Look for yourself. The photos of Fa Chi and the box are in the album. You can look through them yourself."
"Forward it to me."
"You can go around by yourself," Jiang You leaned back in his chair and drank milk tea, "I think I'll go to Luo Town next week."
"Who else?"
"Light soy sauce, and Guan Nuo's mother, wait until she figures out the date, and then we'll set off."
After Tang Butian transferred all the photos to her phone, she pushed Jiang You's phone back in front of him, then she looked up and asked, "Will he be in Luo Town?"
"How would I know?" Jiang You picked up his phone, opened Neverland, and started sprinting to level 5496. "Let's go together. Maybe we can have a few fights. You see, many martial arts movies are shot in the desert. The scenery is beautiful and there are natural special effects."
Tang Butian did not respond. She lowered her head and compared the ruler with the pattern on the box. After a moment, she said, "The stroke on the ruler is very faint."
"Taoist Qingyang said this is the final touch to the seal."
"What do you think?"
After successfully breaking through the barrier, Jiang You put down his phone and said, "I think Xie Dong and some people on the mountain are hiding something together."
"What are you hiding?"
"Don't you think it's a bit strange? For example, the one in Jinghu Society, Mingshen, has a name, right?"
"right."
"He must have a name, right? Did he use the word 'God' to refer to him when he first came in? That's unlikely, right?"
"so what?"
"His name was deliberately erased."
"Why do you do this?"
"He was killed at the time, leaving behind a body, which Xie Dong took for research," Jiang You adjusted his sitting position and crossed his right leg over his knee. "I think the people on the mountain knew what it was and what risks it would bring. I guess they communicated with Xie Dong, so its name was erased and deliberately forgotten. Everyone calls it by a very general and incorrect name - the remains of God."
"To prevent it from coming back to life?"
"Perhaps."
"You said last time that new spirits would be born."
"Part of the seal of the box is similar to the seal on this ruler. As time goes by, this stroke of the ruler fades, and the demon inside escapes. The stroke on the box is also fading. I added it," Jiang You touched his chin and thought for a while. "The research institute should give me a fee for writing."
"Is there a spy?"
"I tend to think that the sealing method itself is flawed."
Tang Butian held the milk tea in both hands. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can't figure it out."
Jiang You stood up and stretched. "Let's go to the desert, maybe we'll understand. Shall we have dinner at the restaurant I mentioned last time?"
Tang Butian also stood up and said, "Ren Qingning, he said he was sent from the mountain to the research institute to monitor the condition of the remains."
"Then he was a bit derelict in his duty. Do you know him?"
“No.”
"Just ask next time you go back to the mountain."
Tang Butian took a few steps towards Jiang You and stopped one meter in front of him.
Jiang You looked at her, "What are you going to do?"
"What is your purpose of going to Luo Town?" Tang Butian asked coldly.
"Investigate the case? Investigate the cause of Xie Dong's death?"
"You have other purposes."
“No…” Jiang You saw Tang Butian’s white fingers gripping the knife handle. He took a step back and leaned against the bookshelf. Then he said, “Don’t move the knife. I’ll tell you everything.”
"You say ." Tang Butian turned her head slightly, and a smile seemed to flash in her eyes.
"I just want to take my son on a trip at public expense. He will go to school next year..."
The wooden sword was placed on Jiang You's neck.
Jiang You said with a bitter face: "Didn't we agree not to use surgery?"
"I wasn't going to move."
"Then why move?"
"This is a sword."
"Okay, you decide," Jiang You sighed helplessly, "I'll go find his name."
"I'll go ask."
"What you ask may not be accurate."
"What happens after you find the name?"
"Maybe we can negotiate? I don't really like fighting and killing. I can just watch apocalyptic movies like that in movies. In real life, anyone who affects my son's schooling next year is my enemy."
A ball of spider silk appeared out of nowhere and hit him in the face.
Tang Butian retracted the wooden sword and took two steps back.
"Leader, you have to change your habit of using the knife for no reason," Jiang You said while pulling the spider silk, "My heart is not very good. I always keep nitroglycerin in my medicine cabinet . Besides, I am fat, and if there is insufficient blood supply..."
"I'll treat you to dinner at the restaurant you mentioned." Tang Butian interrupted him.
"Okay, then let's go over there now?" Jiang You immediately stopped complaining.
"good."
"By the way, when will the new people arrive tomorrow?" Jiang You asked.
"Do you want to see it?"
"I want to meet you."
"I asked them to arrive in the afternoon."
"Then I'll go over after lunch. I haven't seen Zhaocai for a long time, and I miss him a little."
※
The next day Jiang You went to the office.
Tang Butian and Sun Yu were already there. After greeting them, he walked towards his seat. When he got closer, he saw Zhao Cai lying on his computer chair with his eyes lowered, his two front legs clasped in front of him, looking very depressed.
"Recruitment, I heard that you recruited two more talents," Jiang You walked to the table and brought the recruitment in front of him. He turned and asked Sun Yu, "What's wrong with it? It doesn't look very energetic."
Sun Yu glanced at Jiang You and said, "Maybe he's tired. Guan Nuo has been looking for him to practice with him every day these past two days. I went over to see him once and I even took a video."
Sun Yu took out his phone, clicked on a video, and held it in front of Jiang You. "Look, it's quite interesting, isn't it?"
Jiang You saw in the video that Zhao Cai pounced forward, turned in a circle in the air, and kicked Guan Nuo with his hind legs. Guan Nuo took several steps back and finally fell to the ground.
After the talent landed, it lazily coiled into a circle.
"I understand it," Jiang You sat down, "Being forced to exercise will easily make you feel bad, what about the newcomers?"
"He hasn't arrived yet. Guan Nuo should go pick him up."
As soon as Sun Yu finished speaking, the office door opened and Guan Nuo walked in with two young men. They were about the same height, one was strong and the other was gentle.
"Section Chief, Brother Jiang, Brother Sun, this is Cao Ming," Guan Nuo pointed at the tough-looking one, then the gentle one, "This is Zhai Xiaolei, I just helped them with the formalities."
Then he introduced the identities of Tang Butian, Jiang You and Sun Yu to Cao Ming and Zhai Xiaolei, "This is our Section Chief Tang. You, you should know..."
Jiang You lowered his head and teased Cai.
His cell phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that Guan Qingtong had sent him a message: Leave at 3pm on Thursday.
He replied with a "good" and then stroked the cat on his head and touched its ears.
"Meow~"
