Between mountains and seas

When the lights come on, Chang'an Avenue is like a long shining dragon lying quietly in the night.However, there is still a stream of pedestrians and vehicles on the dragon, and its excitement is not inferior to the daytime.

A middle-aged man with very inconspicuous facial features walked across the street and walked into a business hotel.Using the key card to open the door of a standard room on the fourth floor, as soon as he stepped through the door, his muscles suddenly tensed up.But a second later, he relaxed again, because the voice from the darkness was familiar to him: "Are you back?"

"Why are you here?" The middle-aged man didn't insert the key card into the card slot, and the room was still dark.There was no objection from the people in the room. Obviously, both of them felt that it would be better not to turn on the lights.

"Now you can tell me, why did you suddenly arrange for Xiaoyan to go abroad?" the person in the dark asked lightly.

"This—" the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still whispered, "Xiaoyan doesn't get along with a classmate of hers, and that classmate's family is rich and powerful, and Xiaoyan can't afford to provoke her."

The voice in the darkness raised slightly: "I can't afford to offend you, so you use the blood of the green clam to scare people? Is the blood of the green clam made for her to use it?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and then lowered his voice for a long time: "It's mainly because her classmate... is too bullying..."

"How do you bully people?" The voice in the dark sneered, "Being rich, talking condescendingly? Hurt her self-esteem? Or——because the boy she likes likes Zhou Shu?"

The middle-aged man choked for a moment, but then raised his head: "You are not a father, and you don't understand what it means to be a father! Xiaoyan has no mother since she was a child, and she has suffered a lot! I can't let her be wronged again—that What's so good about Zhou Shu? Isn't she just a little rich and good-looking?"

"That's the truth, you don't have to admit it!" The voice in the dark was also a little unhappy, "Why don't you blame that boy for not seeing Xiaoyan's goodness, and want to pursue rich girls?"

The middle-aged man said bitterly: "Of course he is wrong! I have to teach him a lesson too!"

"What else did you do?" The voice of the person in the darkness suddenly increased.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and reluctantly said: "It's just a small curse, let him see that Zhou Shu, and he will have nightmares for a few days—" He added, "At most one month, the curse will be invalid. I know."

The person in the dark didn't speak for a long time, until the middle-aged man became a little uneasy, and he said coldly: "This is not an example. Yuan Fei, you have to be careful when you love your daughter. I brought you back, not to let you come to me. It's troublesome. If you continue to do whatever you want, Yuan Yan's tuition fee in Germany, you can figure it out yourself."

The middle-aged man Yuan Fei's face changed slightly.Of course he knew that the meaning of this sentence was not just about tuition fees, but that everything he held now would be taken back, and he would have no future in sight like after he was expelled due to an accident where...

"I see." Yuan Fei thought for a while, but still concealed the fact that he cast a curse on Zhou Shu. No matter what, the curse is only valid for 24 hours, and it will end at noon tomorrow.That being the case, why bother to speak out to make the person in front of you unhappy.

However, after thinking about it, he was still a little reluctant: "The Zhou family—" What's the big deal?Is it worth asking the person in front of him to warn him for Zhou Shu?

"You don't know anything!" The people in the dark were a little annoyed and helpless, "The Zhou family donated a rhinoceros horn to the special affairs department. You know how useful it is."

"Tongtian—rhinoceros horn?" Yuan Fei was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "These rich people..."

"Yuan Fei—" the person in the darkness sighed, "If you don't change your hatred of the rich, do you know how much trouble you will cause?"

Yuan Fei couldn't help raising his voice again: "Are these people not to be hated? If it weren't for the fact that Lin was a famous entrepreneur, why would our old section chief push me to take the blame? Didn't all the compensation plans come out?" ?"

His voice was full of hatred, and then he sneered twice: "What happened? A few years ago, the boss of the Jinyu Group had an accident. Didn't he himself take the blame and resign? I thought he was in the eyes of the boss. How valuable is it!"

"So you cast a curse on that young man from the Shao family? Just because you think he is rich?" The man in the dark said coldly, "You did it without knowing his identity, so you know that he is rich?" Now that he has entered the special affairs department, did he bring that celestial rhinoceros horn from the Zhou family? He was originally capable, but now he has made a lot of contributions. Gu Sheng is more concerned about this matter, and has been Checking!"

Yuan Fei was stunned for a moment, he had been troubled by his daughter's broken love some time ago, and he really didn't know: "I heard that he is just a dude..." He only eats, drinks and has fun, but he has any special abilities, but he is still in love with him. He joined the special affairs department and made meritorious service?

"What have you been doing all this time!" The person in the dark was a little impatient, "I went out this time, and you didn't do a lot of business, but you caused so much trouble!"

Yuan Fei didn't want to say anything about his daughter, but just defended: "I'm also afraid that they will find that eggshell—"

"Then it's enough for you to get rid of the people who knew about the Zheng family!" The person opposite interrupted him, "Even if you get rid of the shop owner, it's fine, but what's the matter with Shao Jingxing? You did a good job at the beginning, even if the egg shells were not recovered, and the two handlers died, no one would think of this thing again. But you——It’s superfluous! Now they have doubts about the egg shells, why? manage?"

Yuan Fei lowered his head and didn't dare to refute. After a while, he said with some lack of confidence: "Fortunately, the rest of the eggshells have been disposed of, those graylings..."

The person opposite was silent.But Yuan Fei felt a kind of low pressure, so that he didn't say the second half of the sentence.After a long time, I heard the voice from the opposite side: "This matter is a bit beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that the egg shell has other uses besides promoting the hatching of the pupa. Now that a mutated silverfish has been found, it can be confirmed that It evolved by swallowing egg shells."

Yuan Fei was taken aback: "Egg shells can also make strange beasts evolve?"

"Yes. It seems that there is still residual energy in the eggshell."

"But according to records, Jiuquzhu doesn't have such power..."

"It may be that the egg shell obtained by Chen Hou has been too long, and the energy has been completely lost. In addition, someone put forward the theory of force beads, it is probably an egg shell. If it can increase the strength of ordinary people who come into contact with it Ten times and a hundred times, it proves that there is indeed residual energy in the egg shell. It’s just that each person’s physique is different, and the reaction after touching the egg shell is also different. Some egg shells may be recorded because of their special reactions, and some are only regarded as Ordinary beads, and some may cause adverse reactions, so it may be discarded as an ominous thing."

It’s a long way to say this, and people in the dark probably found that their thinking was a little divergent, so they stopped analyzing: "In short, there are not too many five-color moth eggs left in the world, and it is normal if there are no records. But before I actually It was a mistake that I never noticed.”

"I didn't feel it either..." Yuan Fei was puzzled, "After all, if that thing can make the swordfish evolve, the remaining energy in it will be..."

"Humans are different from low-level beasts after all." The other party sighed, "I thought it might be because we have used pupae before, and we are not sensitive to this residual energy. But from the reaction of people who have been in contact with that thing Judging from it, there should not be much energy remaining in it. The legend of the force beads can be left behind, it should be because Liu Lei's reaction to supernatural powers is particularly strong, and he is a kind of awakened person. As for the yellowtail... I am afraid that the one that swallowed Not just one egg shell, but the energy of multiple egg shells accumulated, causing it to mutate, but it was unlucky, there was still one in its stomach that was not fully digested, and it happened to be discovered—at least this time it went to Raoshan It is a good thing that no second mutated grayling was found after searching."

Yuan Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "In other words, they only found two egg shells."

"But two are already very troublesome. Especially when they made it public and added the report that the mountain spider might dig a tunnel to the antique street—" the person in the dark said a little irritably, "In this way, in a short time, It is no longer possible to use this thing.”

Yuan Fei hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "But there should be nothing necessary..."

The person on the opposite side sighed: "The egg in my hand is also gone. Forget it, it's fine if you don't need this thing. The equipment is getting more and more advanced now. If the time for the chrysalis to combine with the human body is not enough, I'm a little worried that I will be killed." Check it out. After all, when Wu Zhen got sick last time, the MRI image was a bit wrong, but the pupae hatched quickly, so no one had time to question it."

Yuan Fei's attention was focused on the first sentence he said: "The eggs are gone?"

"There are only a few of them." The other party was also a little gloomy.

"But I—" Yuan Fei hesitated to speak.But the other party has already understood: "This is not a long-term solution. Besides, you should pay attention to yourself and don't use your abilities casually."

It's not a long-term solution, isn't it you who can use it the most?

Although he nodded in agreement on the surface, Yuan Fei was muttering in his heart.Moreover, the feeling of improved ability is too addictive. The spells that could not be used because of the limited ability in the past are now at hand, and the degree and time of casting the spell can be accurately grasped.Once he had tasted such a taste of doing whatever he wanted, he didn't dare to think about what it would be like to return to the original state where he had to concentrate all the time and be trembling.

Only the power of half a chrysalis can make him improve like this, so what would it be like to use a whole chrysalis?Yuan Fei clenched his fists and stared at the looming figure in the darkness.He was sure that this person had definitely used more than the half of the chrysalis, since that was the case, why bother to speak so grandly.In fact, thinking about it, it is a pity that these pupae are used on those ordinary people. If he can also find new eggs, then—in fact, he also knows the method of hatching.

He was a little distracted when the person on the other side said again: "Since Xiaoyan has gone abroad, you don't have to worry about her for the time being, just go to Hunan. It's also just to avoid the limelight."

"Okay." Yuan Fei thought about it, and felt that it would be better to avoid it first, "What's going on in Hunan?"

"It's about those Xuncao pills." The person on the other side felt a bit overwhelmed in his tone, "I don't know what happened this year--the third group reported it, and found a kind of beauty pill in Linghai. More than one pill will kill you..."

"Linghai again?" Yuan Fei grasped the name keenly, "Three groups again!"

The person on the opposite side glared at him in the dark: "No matter who discovers it, the dead person must be investigated."

"Xuncao Pills have not been produced for a year or two, and nothing has happened." Yuan Fei was a little disapproving, "Don't tell me there are fakes?"

"It has been tested, and the ingredients are basically the same as our Xuncao Wan." The person opposite was silent for a while, "And the year before last, do you remember that incident? Julie."

"Ah——" Yuan Fei immediately remembered, because Yuan Yan liked Qiu Li very much, so he also paid attention, "Is it about those photos of her? But didn't you refute the rumors later?"

"No, she had treatment and plastic surgery later." The person on the opposite side was much more informed than him. "I didn't care about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it's a bit suspicious."

"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with Xuncaowan?"

"Yes. So you go to the Hunan planting base to have a look. It would be best if there is no problem, then you can be sure that someone copied it, and I will do my best to track it down."

Yuan Fei understood what he hadn't said: If it was confirmed that there was a problem with the base or factory in Hunan, he had to take it easy and deal with the matter on his own side before investigating.

Yuan Fei took this matter very seriously.He knew that Xun Cao Wan was the most mature "golden hen" in the hands of the other party so far, and most of the welfare of the special affairs department, as well as his funds, came from Xun Cao Wan.If this road is broken, the loss will be great.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Well." The other party was very satisfied with his attitude, "Besides, if there is no problem in Hunan, you don't have to rush back. I'm afraid the Zhou family will find your home. You can find those who are looking for you by the way. , go to Longhou Mountain to catch some mermaids."

"The mountain of Longhou..." Yuan Fei was still remembering, but the other party had already said, "The "Three Classics of the North" contains: The mountain of Longhou has no vegetation, but is rich in gold and jade. The water of Jujue flows out, and flows eastward into the river."

"Oh, yes!" Yuan Fei immediately remembered, "There is a fish in the river, it looks like a catfish, with four legs—hey, it's actually a giant salamander..." It was the same as the giant fish in Raoshan. source, but completely different abilities mutated in different places.Mermaid meat will die if eaten, but mermaid meat can cure dementia.I don't know who is in need.

"Yeah." The person on the other side obviously didn't intend to tell him, "You can also search along the way to see if there are any mutated graylords or striders."

"Understood." Yuan Fei grinned, "There is gold and jade in the Longhou Mountain, those guys will definitely be willing to go." Except for the reward, the things they pick up belong to themselves, so why don't you want to.

The man didn't answer this sentence, just nodded, opened the door and walked out.The moment he opened the door, the lights in the corridor flashed suddenly, a small electric light flashed in the light tube, a series of inaudible sounds rang out, and all the lights went out.In the darkness, the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Yuan Fei didn't look at those lights, but just closed the door.Although there were no dangerous beasts in Longhou Mountain, a trip to the world of mountains and seas was definitely not as easy as traveling, so he had to prepare well.

But that's also good, with this opportunity, he happened to go to see if his beasts could harvest the sand of beasts.

The mythical sand, this is not even known to the person just now, it only belongs to his secret weapon.That is the truly silent, death-defying curse.Although he still can't achieve the "innuendo" effect of those creatures, he has never missed it.

No, I missed it once, and it was against the young man named Huo Qing in the third group.That time he obviously hit his shadow's left leg with the sand of the mythical creature, but the kid was alive and kicking afterwards, and he didn't even apply for treatment from the special affairs department.Could it be that he could actually lift the curse of the mythical sand?Or did he miss it momentarily and miss it?Or maybe the mythical sand didn't have enough time to grow, so it wasn't effective enough?

Fortunately, Huo Qing didn't apply for treatment from the Special Affairs Department, otherwise, if the person found out, he might be suspicious of him—after all, that person didn't order Huo Qing to attack him that time, he just dealt with the driver surnamed Zheng When it was time, it seemed that Huo Qing had discovered something.Although there is no empirical evidence, in order to avoid future troubles, he still did it on his own initiative, but the result was unsuccessful.Fortunately, it didn't cause any trouble in the end...

Yuan Fei rested his head on his arms, looked at the ceiling and frowned—speaking of the few times he missed, it seemed that they were somehow related to Huo Qing, and it really was a trouble!If there is a chance, shouldn't he be dealt with?As long as there is a grain of mature mythical sand, this time he can directly hit his chest or head, I don't believe he will be safe and sound!

But thinking of Shen Zhisha, Yuan Fei frowned even tighter.The mythical sand itself is a kind of curse, but the mythical creature itself can be exempted from this curse, even if it is directly contained in the mouth and spit out, it will not be affected.But if the user is replaced by a human, it will not work. The curse will be activated at the same time when the sand of the monster is hit. The person who is hit by the shadow will naturally bear most of the curse, but there is always a trace of the curse on the user's body. body.He also used that chrysalis to improve his abilities before he could use it. If there were no more chrysalis in the future, and his current power was exhausted, then even the mythical sand would be useless...

Thinking of this, Yuan Fei couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he shouldn't have used his abilities so easily, he should have saved a little...

But the feeling of doing whatever you want is really...

In that case, why didn't he go find the eggs himself?

In the darkness, Yuan Fei sat up abruptly—yes, why didn't he think of this question just now!Since there are records of Jiuquzhu and Lizhu, it proves that that person is definitely not the only one who has that kind of egg. He has a person in his hand, why don't he find it himself?If he can find it, then he doesn't even have to worry about that person, right?With power, what can't be gained...
