Pendulum Rider

In Munich, Germany, the interior of a certain building of the Beer Bottle Cap Blood Hunting Association is magnificently decorated.

Ever since Lin Xiwu followed Xianbei and Mr. Luo through the revolving door to the lobby on the first floor, he was attracted by the palace-style design. This kind of decoration is relatively rare, at least not seen in China.

The winding staircase is like a giant dragon guarding the supporting beams. Exactly the same exquisite wall lamps are placed on the pillars at the entrance of each floor. When looking up at the ceiling, you must lift your head to ninety degrees to retract the high ceiling fundus.From a distance, it seems that there are some ancient mural-like patterns carved on the pillars.Lin Xiwu looked around the hall excitedly like a countryman entering the city, but unfortunately the German girls at the front desk were wearing modern professional clothes, which seemed out of place with the interior decoration.

"Did we enter some game guild?"

"It's the Blood Hunting Association." Xianbei corrected from the side.

"Sounds pretty much the same, where are we going next?"

"Go to the front desk to register first, and then go to the warehouse to pick the novice pendulum."

"Hey, did I say this building is full of beer bottle cap associations?"

"That's right, the employees are all members of the association."

Lin Xiwu was as excited as if he had discovered a new continent. While observing the surroundings, he followed Xianbei to the front desk. The girl at the front desk handed them a notebook, and the three of them signed their names on the notebook one by one. Then Lin Xiwu took a breastplate from the girl's hand and hung it around her neck.

"Go to the warehouse next." Mr. Luo said, walking in the front.

"Why don't you have badges?"

"Because it's your first time here. Mr. Luo and I both have passes. Follow closely, don't get lost."

Lin Xiwu sketched the appearance of the warehouse in his mind. Since they were all pendulums, wouldn't they be like a treasure house, with all kinds of pendulums piled up into a hill?And there's a dragon from a fantasy creature watching over the pendulum hills, or a watchdog with three heads at the warehouse door?

However, when Lin Xiwu saw the warehouse gate, his fantasy was dispelled.

The warehouse is on the 3rd floor underground, and the door looks the same as an ordinary home anti-theft door except that it is not locked.Mr. Luo took out his pendulum pendant from his neck and placed it in the center of the door.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiwu heard the click of the lock, and the door opened.

"As long as this door is a registered pendulum, you can use the pendulum as a key to open it." Xianbei explained from the side, "My pendulum has not been registered, so I have to trouble Mr. Luo to accompany me."

"Oh, really." Lin Xiwu responded lightly, looking ahead. At this time, all his attention was on the back of the door, and it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Blind?

Lin Xiwu was puzzled, and followed Mr. Luo into the warehouse. After a while, his eyes adjusted to the darkness in the room, and he finally saw the furnishings in the warehouse. There was no manager in the warehouse, only the warehouse Just like a library, there are rows of shelves marked with the types of pendulums, and pendulums of various colors are lying on the shelves. These shelves are all made of white crystal, just like parents guarding their children. The pendulums are keeping a close eye on them, if any suspicious person appears, maybe they will release some mechanism.

Although the main body of the shelf is made of white crystal, the front of the shelf looks like an ancient medicine chest, separating the pendulums at intervals and isolating them from the outside world with glass, perhaps for protection They are not polluted, right?Some are like young girls raised in deep boudoirs who don't know much about the world.

"The novice pendulum is on these two rows of shelves." Mr. Luo suddenly stopped, turned and said to Lin Xiwu, "You choose slowly."

So, Lin Xiwu walked to the shelf, and he glanced at all the novice pendulums. Although they seemed to be lying quietly on their respective sites, through the pendulum, Lin Xiwu saw the figure-sized pendulums. He was lying on the glass and looking at himself curiously. He didn't know if he could see the spirits because of his own imagination, or if he really saw them.

Now that you can see the spirit, pick a cute boy and take him back to raise him.

Lin Xiwu walked slowly in front of the shelf. Every time he moved a step, the eyes of the pendulums on the shelf were like spotlights, following Lin Xiwu's steps.

After Lin Xiwu looked at each pendulum carefully, she finally walked to the center of the shelf, pointed to a red-haired young lady with two dull hairs on her head, and said, "I want this one. The fur looks like it has rabbit ears."

Hearing this, Mr. Luo walked over to take a look.

"This is the red crystal, also known as the red rabbit fur crystal. It is relatively high-end among novice pendulums. It also has an alias, called the Venus crystal."

"Then what attribute is it?"

"The label affixed to the glass indicates that it is a mixed attribute of fire and wind—star attribute."

"Isn't the mixture of fire and wind lightning?"

"The proportions are different, and the mixed attributes are also different. If wind is the main attribute, it will be thunder and lightning if it is mixed with fire, and fire is the main attribute, and it will be a star attribute when mixed with wind."

"How do I use the star attribute? Can it be GPS-located?" If it is possible, then his road-crazy symptoms will be cured.

"How to use the pendulum depends on the luck of the driver. Are you sure you want it?"

"determine."

Mr. Luo took out his pendulum pendant again, touched the glass, and the glass disappeared instantly. Then he turned to Lin Xiwu and said, "Take it out, and give it a name."

"Braised rabbit meat, you can follow me from today." Lin Xiwu said and took out the red crystal from the shelf.

"Braised rabbit meat? What kind of messy food name do you give others?" Xianbei couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, it's my pendulum. It's my freedom to name it whatever I want, right? Don't you think so, braised rabbit meat?" Lin Xiwu smiled at the red-haired little Zhengtai in his palm.

"My name is Red-haired Venus." Xiaozheng retorted.

"Isn't it Venus with Broken Arm?"

"No." Xiaozheng said firmly.

"Red-haired Venus, sounds a bit like spaghetti, so I'll call you Venus from now on."

"That's more or less the same." The corners of the serious little Zhengtai's mouth finally raised a little.

"It seems that you really have the talent to control the pendulum." Mr. Luo commented objectively, "Building a good relationship is the foundation of the foundation."

"This novice pendulum seems a little expensive. Next, do you want to withdraw money from your godfather's account?" Xianbei asked.

"Just leave it to me to pay the bill. You can take him to the car outside and wait for me first."

"Okay, then let's go." Xianbei said to Lin Xiwu, and then walked towards the door of the warehouse first.

Lin Xiwu carefully held the red-haired Venus in her palm, and followed closely behind.

"It seems that I will help you find a rope to hang it around your neck later. What do you like? A platinum necklace is also acceptable."

"Ordinary rope is fine."

While talking, the two took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. Although the interior layout of the lobby was very medieval, the underground building just now looked like another world. The exit of the elevator was in a hidden corner. , seems to be deliberately trying to hide part of this modern style.

Lin Xiwu returned the temporary visitor's badge at the front desk, and followed Xianbei to the car outside the building.

After waiting for a while, Mr. Luo also came out from the revolving door. He seemed to have completed the payment. He walked straight towards the back seat of the car, opened the door, and got in the car.

"Mr. Luo, where are you going next?" Xianbei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked.

"The novice indoor training ground, do you know where it is?"

"Although I haven't been there, I have a little impression." Before Xianbei finished speaking, he stepped on the gas pedal.

The volume of the violin music in the car was turned down very low, and the conversation between Lin Xiwu and the pendulum almost overwhelmed the sound of the music.

"Venus, you actually know your fellow man with a severed hand, Yuki Kaji, you stay on the shelf all day, thinking you don't know anything."

"Modern technology is so advanced that you can stay at home and know the changes in the world."

"It's so hilarious to hear a pendulum talk about technology."

"Don't laugh!"

"Speaking of which, Venus, how old are you?"

"Forgot, and it doesn't make any sense to ask the pendulum this question."

"So, Venus, what abilities do you have?"

"The most basic divination astrology is engraved in the brain from birth."

"Hmm, what other abilities do you have?"

"Summoning meteorites, my spiritual power is not high, I can only summon a small one at a time."

"I heard that you have a mixed attribute with fire as the main attribute, so can you make fire?"

"Make a fire?"

"If you can make a fire, I'll rely on you to cook when I go camping in the future." Lin Xiwu's mind is only about eating.

"It's not difficult to get some small flames out. Speaking of which, I've felt it since just now. What's on your body?"

"That's not a thing, it's a part of my wife." Lin Xiwu patted her chest and said.

"Are you in love with the pendulum?" The driver who fell in love with the pendulum must have a brain problem. The pendulum was born in nature, so why not just throw yourself into the embrace of nature? Could it be that you were taken away by a strange person? up?

"I didn't think of him as a pendulum. Rosen is Rosen, an independent individual."

"You're really out of your mind."

"Even if I have brain problems, Rosen won't mind."

"You are abusing the dog in a fancy way."

"You even know the word dog abuse? But aren't you a rabbit?"

"Don't treat me like a three-year-old."

"But you look younger than a three-year-old, just like a Q-version doll from KFC and McDonald's."

"I grew up small because my own spiritual power is not enough, and I can grow later through the driver, it depends on your ability."

"Eat my energy to grow up?"

"Whether it can grow or not depends mainly on the driver."

"By the way, since you're with me, do you want to sign a contract or something?"

"What do you need a contract for? The pendulum and the driver don't need to be tied together by that kind of thing at all. There is an invisible bond between us. I'll just treat you as my parents."

"I didn't expect you to be so arrogant."

"Who is arrogant?"

"Since the pendulum and its driver are bound together by fate, then one day I will be able to meet Rosen again." From then on, Lin Xiwu took her adopted son Venus on a long journey to find his wife. .

"I feel that the Rosen you mentioned is a terrible guy."

"It's not scary. Although he is your stepmother, he won't abuse you."

"What I mean by terrible is his spiritual power. You smell very strong."

"What smells?"

"The smell of roses... don't suddenly laugh so disgustingly, isn't it because you fit together?"

Lin Xiwu poked Venus' waist with his index finger when he disagreed, and Venus fell on Lin Xiwu's palm without standing still, as if raising a little hamster.

"What are you doing? You fucking gay!" Venus immediately frowned, "I, Venus, am not a hamster!"

And Lin Xiwu suddenly understood what Luo Yaxin had said about the joy of chatting with the pendulum. The pendulum knew astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and even the owner's petty thoughts were seen through at a glance.They are the most suitable objects to talk to, and they will provide reasonable and reliable suggestions to confused owners based on their own knowledge.

When the car stopped in front of a building that looked like a gym, Lin Xiwu got out of the car in a daze. He had been staring at Venus just now and didn't pay attention to the scenery outside the window. If he were to go back alone now, he would completely No direction, but he had no sense of direction.

"This is the indoor training ground for newcomers of the Beer Bottle Cap Blood Hunting Association." Xianbei said in one breath.

"It's been a long time. Why don't you just say the Beer Association?"

"I'm afraid you'll forget."

"I still have a lot of brains."

"Okay, let's go inside and register first."

"Registration again?"

"First help you set up a short-term VIP. When I have something to do in the future, you can come here to find a coach by yourself."

"All the old drivers here?"

"The coaches generally have more than ten years of experience in controlling the pendulum."

"In the end, do you have to take the test of subject one, subject two, subject three?"

"You can take the test, it's not a mandatory requirement." After speaking, Xianbei walked towards the gate with big strides.

"There is really an exam?" Lin Xiwu followed with a dazed expression.

I saw that the hall of the indoor training ground looks not much different from an ordinary gym. There is only one girl sitting at the front desk, who is responsible for visitor registration. The gap between this extremely ordinary interior decoration and the palace-style building I just saw is too great , like high-end hotels and small hotels.

Since Lin Xiwu came here for the first time, it took a lot of time to fill in the personal information when applying for a three-month short-term membership, and then the girl at the front desk handed him a small badge in the shape of a golden beer bottle. Just pin it on your clothes, each member has an independent practice room, the room number is written on the badge, and you can directly enter the practice room with the badge without making an appointment.

When Lin Xiwu came to her practice room, she was taken aback by the sight in front of her again. After all three of them stepped into the room, the door automatically closed behind them. The practice room was very spacious, like an iron A large cube, and the three of them are inside the cube.

The VR technology in the practice room is also eye-opening. A prompt box popped up out of thin air, allowing Lin Xiwu to choose the training background and difficulty.

"Where is the agreed coach? Is this completely artificial intelligence?"

"This is not artificial intelligence or the VR technology that people are studying now, but the ability of my pendulum." Venus said proudly.

"Now that we are here, I won't find another coach for you. You should try the training mode of easy difficulty first."

"Please explain, what does this training involve?"
