Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 87: Fragmentary Lights
The shuttle across the border flashed brightly as it crossed the sky.

Behind the ship, a blazing white tail flame rose, illuminating the dark clouds.

"The Continental Security Department is requesting communication!"

A beep sounds.

Jixue turned his head, put his gray claws on the button, and looked at Jiang Jian: "Do you want to connect?"

Jiang Jian nodded: "Take it."

next second.

The voice of the security staff came out: "This is the Anhe State Security Department, please report!"

At the cabin's main console, Jixue tapped the holographic screen and said, "This shuttle is crossing the border from Linjiang Province. The owner is a student at Linjiang Academy. I'll send you the ID information."

Its voice is like that of a young girl.

It's calm and gentle, and sounds very reassuring.

A few seconds later.

"Okay, I'll file it for you!"

After verifying the ID information, the staff member's voice became much softer, "Welcome home!"

"I don't have a home."

Jixue curled his lips, muttered to himself, swiped the holographic screen and looked at the navigation map.

On the pale blue star map, the light spot representing the cross-border shuttle moved forward rapidly.

Getting closer and closer to Anhe College.

Beneath the rolling heavy clouds, the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the continent were like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, passing by rapidly and being left behind in the blink of an eye.

The cross-border shuttle is a new type of flying ship in Linjiangzhou.

Anhe Prefecture is too poor.

Before this, no information about this kind of cutting-edge shuttle had been recorded.

Even in Anhe Prefecture, most aircraft are old manually piloted shuttles.

Only wealthy Shenzhao Districts, as well as key departments such as the city government and prayer temples, are equipped with expensive unmanned shuttles.

Civilians in the shadow zone have access to cutting-edge technology.

There is only one ID device on the wrist.

"Senior Jiang Jian, my theoretical score, like yours, ranks first in the two districts of Guangling City."

"Senior Jiang Jian, I've been reading your annotated version of 'An Overview of the Gods' over and over again lately, and I've gained many new insights."

"Senior Jiang Jian, I have some information here that might be useful to you..."

On the holographic screen was a communication from Nie Zheng of Guangling No. 1 Middle School.

Jiang Jian's fingers moved and stopped at the last communication.

The information inside is a document.

"Direct Guide to Cultivation in the God-Given Realm" is over a hundred pages long.

It records in detail the key points of cultivating the Shenque Lingyun.

the most important is.

This material, clearly a personal note, contains many unique insights.

Although there are many similar materials in the Linjiang Academy Library.

But this document is still very useful.

Jiang Jian flipped through two pages, his eyes moved slightly, he saved the file, and replied to Nie Zheng.

"Thank you. I have some notes here that should be able to help you when you take the God-given exam next year."

Finished sending the newsletter.

Jiang Jian found the notes he had written for his sister before the God-given exam and sent them to her.

In the mailbox, most of the communications from Teacher Zhou Yu were about asking about Jiang Jian's well-being and his concern about his studies at Linjiang Academy.

In this God-given exam, Jiang Jian scored 100 points and was admitted to Linjiang Academy.

Not only did it make Guangling No. 1 Middle School in the shadow area famous.

It also made Zhou Yu's status rise.

His teaching salary was raised to 1200 Alliance Coins per month.

In addition, there are many additional rewards.

Guangling City is poor in resources and residents' income is barely enough to feed themselves.

It is very difficult to save extra money.

Guangling City is located in the corner of Anhe Prefecture.

There are no spiritual veins, no water veins, no mountains, and it is extremely poor.

it's here.

500 Alliance Coins per month is already considered a high-paying job.

Zhou Yu can get 1200 Alliance Coins every month, which is more than 99% of the residents in the shadow area.

Although high-income earners in the shaded area need to pay expensive income surcharges to the Guangling Municipal Government.

But in the end, there are still nearly 800 Alliance Coins left.

"Coming."

Jixue lay on the cabin seat, staring at the star map and whispering a reminder.

Jiang Jian crossed out Zhou Yu's message, dialed Jiang Zhao's ID device, and said to the gray fox, "Slow down."

The cross-border shuttle tore through the clouds and landed towards the continental land.

In the airspace below, occasionally a shabby old-fashioned flying shuttle passes by.

Seeing the huge shuttle, the drivers inside all changed their expressions slightly.

He controlled the shuttle to stay far away and didn't dare to get close at all.

beep.

beep.

No one heard.

Jiang Jian frowned slightly, slid his finger, and opened Jiang Zhao's communication page.

The message my sister sent was from a day ago.

"Jiang Jian, I feel better today. I just had a headache."

"By the way, I saw you beat Lu Tingting at the joint forum. It was really great."

"Jiang Jian, remember to take your medicine on time."

……

Jiang Jian swiped the message and dialed the instant messaging again.

beep.

beep.

Still no one answered.

The identity device is tied to the wrist of every citizen on Earth.

No matter what you do, you need it.

No one will remove the ID device unless they die.

The real-time communication of the identity device has obvious prompts, so there is no situation where you cannot hear it.

"Could it be that she..."

"probably not."

"Jiang Zhao's birthday is March 3th, and it's not time yet."

Jiang Jian frowned, lowered his eyes and looked at his wrist.

The Feishuang jade bracelet is surrounded by spiritual light, and fine frost flowers are scattered.

……

Anhe College.

Girls dormitory.

"Zhaozhao, are you okay?"

Zhong Ling looked worried. "Don't hold on. I'll take you to the school clinic."

Jiang Zhao's face was pale. He leaned against the bed, shook his head gently, and couldn't say a word.

I don’t know when it started.

A cold silver light surged from the depths of her pupils.

These glimmers of light gather and disperse invisibly, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

"I……"

The headache gradually subsided, Jiang Zhao raised his eyelids and was about to speak.

My mind suddenly tightened.

An indescribable pulling force came from the depths of the soul.

Consciousness fell in an instant.

The girl's thin body fell weakly on the bed.

“Take a look!”

Zhong Ling's fingers trembled and she couldn't help but scream!

……

……

……

"This is where?"

Wake up from a trance.

Jiang Zhao raised his eyelids with great effort.

What caught my eye was the back of a boy.

"Jiang Jian!?"

Jiang Zhao's pupils constricted, and countless doubts surged in his mind. "No, the person in front of me is Jiang Jian as a child!"

Jiang Zhao sat up and was surprised.

I am still young now.

"Sister, I have to go."

The boy noticed her movement and spoke softly without turning around.

Jiang Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

But I found that I couldn't control my body at all.

I just sat up, but I just sat up by myself.

"Brother...Brother..."

"Myself" sat up, his lips moving and whispering.

Jiang Zhao frowned and murmured, "Is this silly girl the me as a child?"

"Is this my memory?"

She looked at the scene in front of her and thought quietly.

After a few seconds.

It has been completely determined.

This is the shadow area of ​​Guangling City, the public welfare center.

"It's just that I don't seem to have this scene in my memory."

Jiang Zhao looked at the boy, his thoughts swirling.

"What exactly is going on?"

Her mind had completely calmed down.

"They're sending me away."

The boy spoke again, "But I know it's a scam."

"In places like the Shadow Zone, the law seems to be of little use."

The boy's tone was self-deprecating and cold.

In his hand, he held a wooden sword.

"There are too many dirty things in the shadow area of ​​Guangling City."

“But I just discovered it today.”

“There are actually more humans who are dirtier than them.”

The boy still didn't look back.

He walked out, holding a wooden sword.

"younger sister."

"I left you something that will protect you for the night."

"I'll be back tomorrow."

"wait for me."

The boy walked out of the room.

More than a dozen ragged men were originally gathered at the door, with vicious eyes.

When they saw the boy, they were all terrified and scattered like birds and beasts.

The boy glanced at them, said nothing, and walked straight out the door.

A few minutes later.

"He's really gone!?"

“He was really sent away!”

"Great!"

"Go check it out!"

"Really gone!"

Many people raised their dirty and smelly hands, pried through the cracks in the door, and squinted their eyes to look outside.

Wait until you see the boy following the "director" and getting on the shabby hovercraft.

The yard suddenly became quiet.

next second.

They burst into unparalleled cheers!

Someone immediately turned around and walked towards the wooden house, with lustful eyes: "This little girl is mine!"

Snapped!
A hard slap!

The person who was speaking had swollen cheeks, stars in his eyes, and was staggering on the ground, raising clouds of dust.

"You are useless, you deserve it!"

The tall and strong young man withdrew his hand, spat on the ground, and strode into the house.

The others looked at each other with hesitation, gathered outside the door and whispered.

"No rush, no rush."

"Anyway, the girl is here and she can't run away."

"Let's go after he's done."

"Damn it, he got there first."

"There's nothing I can do. This guy is too strong. I can't win against him."

In the cabin.

The tall and strong young man walked towards the bed, looked at the exquisite girl, and drool flowed from the corners of his dirty and smelly mouth.

"Damn, she's so beautiful."

He stopped in front of the bed, stared at the girl's fair and beautiful face, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The girl lowered her eyelids, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her black hair fell like a waterfall.

Although she is still young, she is already so beautiful that flowers can shame flowers and fish can sink.

"What a pity, he's a fool."

The tall and strong boy sighed, stretched out his hand and touched the girl's arm.

next second.

He suddenly stopped and looked at his palm.

The cracks between the nails are filled with foul-smelling black mud.

Even the lines on his palms were covered with dirt that had been there for who knows how long.

Close at hand.

It was the girl's slender white fingers like peeling onions.

This moment.

There was a look of struggle and hesitation in the eyes of the tall and strong young man.

instantly.

His expression became sinister again.

"The public care center in the shadow area is a place where animals eat people."

"Once you get here, everyone is an animal. Who is stronger than anyone else?"

Think of this.

He spat on the ground, his face distorted, and approached the girl.

Jiang Zhao looked at him coldly, and time seemed to stand still.

Deep in the pupils, scattered silver light surged.

Click.

A very light cracking sound rang in my ears.

The tall and strong young man's body stopped.

Ice-cold silver flakes seeped out from the distorted face.

Just a moment.

His entire body shattered into countless streams of light.

It collapsed to the ground and turned into dust.

The people outside the house were originally watching through the crack in the door.

Seeing the tall and strong young man die mysteriously, they were all terrified and dared not step forward.

"Is this what I remember from my childhood?"

"Why, I don't even have the slightest recollection of it."

Jiang Zhao sat on the bed, looking at the people outside the room, with silver light surging between his pupils.

"Jiang Zhao."

A familiar cold voice called softly in my ear.

The light and shadow shattered, and the world turned upside down.

Jiang Zhao suddenly opened his eyes.

A handsome boy who looked just like himself was standing at the head of the bed, looking at him quietly.

His gaze was as calm as the abyss.

Just like ten years ago.

Jiang Zhao looked at him.

Deep in my heart, an incredible and huge pain inexplicably welled up.

I don't know where this painful feeling comes from.

I don’t even know what caused it.

But it is deeply rooted, planted deep in my soul.

As if it had never been far away.
