Chapter 25, The Wind Rises

Life in the next few months was so peaceful that Ji Yufeng had the illusion of returning to the past.

They only stayed in Lancheng for a few weeks, and the scorching sun had just begun to rage in the southern city. Qin Kong took him to Fengcheng by train, a small city in the middle of the map.

The wind in early summer is mild, and the warm wind blowing from the river in the morning carries a damp coolness, which is very similar to the temperature in Ji Yufeng's original hometown.

They rented a two-bedroom house in a residential area, and Ji Yufeng enrolled in a nearby high school as a transfer student.

Ji Yufeng cut his hair short and put on a new school uniform, looking very energetic.

He glanced at the schoolbag thrown on the ground and frowned.

"Do I have to go to school?" He has always had objections to Qin Kong's decision.

"Or else?" Qin Kong lay on the sofa in the living room.

Since coming to Fengcheng, Qin Kong has been lying at home most of the time, except for takeaway and delivery, he hardly ever goes downstairs.

Ji Yufeng couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Qin Kong's gourd.

Xu Jian and Gong Li also moved from Fengcheng to other cities.Xu Jianhui and Ji Yufeng call once a week, just to ask how they are doing.

It's almost like a parent's check-up.

Whenever Xu Jian called, Qin Kong fell asleep, and Xu Jian never asked him to answer the phone.

"Aren't you bored at home alone?" Ji Yufeng kicked the strap of his schoolbag, dawdling behind the door.

"Hmph." Qin Kong didn't bother to talk to him.

Ji Yufeng's footsteps disappeared behind the elevator door switch.

They lived on the 19th floor. Considering the floors that were stopped halfway during this time period, they arrived on the first floor in about 2 minutes.

Qin Kong jumped up from the sofa, opened the window, and saw Ji Yufeng walking towards the exit of the community with his schoolbag on his back.

The building they lived in was in the deepest southwest corner of the community, and there were no other buildings in the front, back, left, or right, and it was close to the fence of the community.

Two rows of bamboo forests are planted on both sides of the sidewalk in front of the door, which are lush and almost two stories high.

Qin Kong grabbed his backpack from under the sofa and flew down from the balcony.

Twenty minutes later, Qin Kong appeared at the gate of a local university, with the sound of bicycles and footsteps.

He walked into the school gate among a group of college students.

After entering the school gate, he did not rush into the teaching building like other students.Instead, he turned on the road to the library.

Qin Kong is very familiar with this place, and almost doesn't need to read the directions of the road signs at all.

The library is in the southeast corner of the campus. It is a small building with a red dome.

He hurried up the stairs.

At this time, the library was empty except for the students who were studying for the postgraduate entrance examination at their desks.

Qin Kong's figure flickered, and he went straight up to the second floor, and came to the innermost row of history book shelves.

A gray-haired faculty member was arranging the bookshelves.

He was wearing thick glasses and had a gray beard. He turned his head and glanced at Qin Kong before continuing with his work.

"The book you want to borrow hasn't arrived yet."

Qin Kong paused, "Didn't you say you could arrive today?"

"What you're looking for is not in the current database. Wait a few more days." The old man spoke softly, but with undeniable firmness.

Qin Kong shook his head helplessly.

"The old lady greets you."

The old man's face darkened suddenly, "Why, she laughed at me and couldn't figure it out?"

Qin Kong whistled, staggered and walked out.

"Come back tomorrow, I must have figured it out." The old man shouted angrily behind him.

This pair of enemies.Qin Kong rolled his eyes towards the sky.

Not long after arriving in Fengcheng, Qin Kong took advantage of Ji Yufeng's school time to find the old lady.

The old lady appears in different cities at a fixed time every year.

The last time he took Ji Yufeng to visit at night, she was the owner of the old house.

In Fengcheng, her identity is an old Chinese doctor, surnamed Shi.

Qin Kong told her Wang Siyuan's speculation about the ghost king Yin Lu, but he didn't mention Ji Yufeng.

"You mean that person synthesized the genes of the Inhuman race through medical means?" Mrs. Shi's hair was coiled into a bun with silver threads, and she was wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses.

Qin Kong was noncommittal.

"This won't work. The genes of the Inhuman race are mutually exclusive, and forced synthesis can only create monsters." The old lady shook her head.

The ancestors of the four Inhuman races belonged to different tribes in ancient times. Not only are they different from humans, but they are also completely different from each other. It's just that when the Yellow Emperor exterminated them, everyone had to form a group with each other to fight for the chance to survive.

This is also the reason why the leaders of the Inhuman race have always adhered to the tradition. They insist that pure blood is above all else.

"Is there really no possibility at all?" Qin Kong muttered to himself.Although the characteristics of the Yeti race in Ji Yufeng are not as obvious as those of the Scarlet Blood Race, his ability in the awakening period surpassed that of the leader of the Red Blood Race, which is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary aliens.

The old lady was silent for a long time.

"You go to someone, he will tell you whether this is feasible or not."

"But this strange old man has a bad temper, you can't make it up."

The person the old lady mentioned was the administrator of the university library, that is, the old Zhong with the gray beard just now.

Qin Kong sighed, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and wandered to the staff cafeteria for breakfast.

During this time, Ji Yufeng would make fried eggs for him every morning, which made him almost throw up.

Obviously because I only know how to fry eggs, I made breakfast for the children a few times.

The child took it to heart.

After leaving the school, Qin Kong walked along the riverside again. During the day, he often walked aimlessly on the streets like this.

Just to find the breath of the Inhuman race.

In many cases, it is all in vain.

For example, today is the same.

Just as he crossed his arms and went back downstairs in his neighborhood, he ran into Ji Yufeng who was teasing a cat.

"Huh?" Qin Kong pouted, why did you come back so early today?

I am used to freedom, and I feel guilty for no reason.

Ji Yufeng held a black and white kitten in his arms, and this cat has been sticking to him since he entered the community.

"Old Qin, this cat seems to have lost its owner." Ji Yufeng saw a collar on the cat's neck, but the nameplate on the buckle was gone.

He didn't seem to care at all that Qin Kong would be strolling outside at this time.

"Oh." Qin Kong waited for Ji Yufeng's next words.

"Should we walk around the community to see if there is a notice to find a cat, and then go to the community management office to ask?" The kitten licked Ji Yufeng's hand, and he glanced at Qin Kong, "Or, myself It’s okay to go, you go home.”

Qin Kong stared at the cat for a while, then slowly raised his body.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Ji Yufeng gave him a hard look.

"Done at school!"

"Okay then, let's go." Qin Kong put his hands behind his head and walked along the cobblestone path with big strides.

"Meow." The kitten called out coquettishly to Ji Yufeng.

Ji Yufeng picked up the cat and ran after Qin Kong's back.

He had a subtle feeling that since he came to Fengcheng, Qin Kong had been keeping a distance from himself.

He even believed that the reason why he was asked to go to school was only because Qin Kong needed time to be alone.

Time not to be disturbed by yourself.

Although Qin Kong didn't ask at the time, Ji Yufeng told him everything he had seen and heard about the Snow Mountain base not long after his eyes healed.

When talking about the exhibition hall, Qin Kong's face was very ugly.

The name Lin Xiaohui directly ignited Qin Kong's explosion point.

He instantly crushed the glass in his hand.

Ji Yufeng didn't go into detail about Lin Xiaohui bringing him food, he felt that Qin Kong didn't want to hear it.

The latter two would never have a chance to discuss the ghost king again.

Ji Yufeng felt that he had turned back to the ordinary middle school student back then, and his daily life remained the same.

The street lights turned on, and the figures of the two were stretched into two long diagonal lines.

After walking for a long time, I didn't find any cat hunting notices posted. The property also said that no one had registered with them to find cats.

The kitten has been quietly lying in Ji Yufeng's arms, with melancholy written all over its chubby face.

"Old Qin, what should I do if I can't find its owner." Ji Yufeng lowered his head, and his face was reflected in the kitten's dark pupils.

"Why, you want to raise a cat?" Qin Kong turned his head and glanced at Ji Yufeng again. The child looked really bad today, with a pitiful look on his face.

"It's very poor." Ji Yufeng muttered to himself, "The master doesn't want him anymore."

Qin Kong's forehead was struck by lightning suddenly, and he felt that Ji Yufeng's words were aimed at him.

Are children really so sensitive? ? ? ?

Fortunately, Xu Jian wrote nonsense in the e-mail that sent him the new address, "The matter you entrusted me to investigate has not been completed yet, Xiao Ji is a sensitive child, you should be more or less careful."

Really, Ji Yufeng never asked him where Xu Jian's new home was.

Before Xu Jian left, he jokingly mentioned about his apprentice, Qin Kongfei rolled his eyes.

Ji Yufeng saw all of this, and didn't ask a word.

He sticks to the boundaries carefully.

Gee.

"Okay, we will raise it." Qin Kong yawned.

Isn't it just raising a cat, what's the big deal.

"Okay, okay." Ji Yufeng was immediately in high spirits, "Then let's go buy cat food, I think it's hungry."

Um?Qin Kong suddenly felt cheated.

The cat is hungry, am I not hungry? ? ? ?

Around this cat, Ji Yufeng chatted all night.

Finally, Qin Kong kicked the cat out of the bedroom.

Meow, the cat vacated its four paws, trying to jump back to Ji Yufeng's bed, and bumped into the wooden door of the bedroom.

There were four scratch marks on the door.

The kitten licked its paw sadly, then turned around, and walked back to the sofa haughtily, curled up into a fur ball.

Although Ji Yufeng rarely wakes up in the middle of the night after returning from the snow mountain.

After waking up, he slept soundly.

But Qin Kong is still not at ease, so the two have been sleeping in the same bedroom.

On the second night of raising a cat, Ji Yufeng finally woke up at night suffocated by urine because he drank too much water before going to bed.

He turned his head slightly on the pillow, and suddenly realized that Qin Kong was not sleeping on the next bed.

The window was open, and a black lonely shadow was straddling half a leg outside the window sill, looking up at the moon in the sky.

"The probability of success is very low." In the library, Lao Zhong handed him a notebook with various formulas densely written on it.

"Is it negligibly low?" Qin Kong asked. His knowledge in biology is relatively weak, but he can still understand the meaning behind these formulas.

"It can only be said that all tests are blindly waiting before success, but if one case is successful, he can replicate it." Old Zhong's words were like a blow to the head.

Qin Kong lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"But at least 20 years of experimental data are needed. If he starts now, we only need to find a way to stop him." Old Zhong straightened his back suddenly, his whole face shone with majesty, he was by no means an ordinary old man son's look.

"Besides, the Inhuman race itself is extremely conservative. No one in the clan will support him in extracting genes from Inhuman beings. He can't do test-tube babies." Old Zhong added, speaking very confidently.

Qin Kong's hand holding the notebook trembled slightly, "What if, what if he uses his own genes for experiments?"

After hearing Qin Kong's words, Lao Zhong's expression froze.

"No one knows his race, and he can't just jump out of a rock out of thin air. As far as I know, Inhumans and Inhumans cannot have offspring. He must not have the characteristics of two Inhumans at the same time. "

Qin Kong quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and the old lady said the same thing.

From this point of view, perhaps Wang Siyuan's worries are unrealistic conjectures.

Lin Xiaohui! !

The name suddenly popped up in Qin Kong's mind that had just relaxed, and the muscles in his arms tightened suddenly.

Why did the ghost king take the risk to save this girl who had just become an alien from him, and bring her with him?

"What if, I mean what if, he tries to have a baby with an Inhuman woman? What are the odds?"

Old Zhong smiled contemptuously, "Qin Kong, you must know that the biggest difference between Inhumans and humans is that they follow their nature without restraint, and their nature is bloodthirsty, which is why it is difficult for Inhumans women to become mothers .”

Pregnant in October, once giving birth, when the baby is born wrapped in umbilical cord and blood stains, that is the most delicious food in their eyes.

A gust of night wind hit, and Qin Kong's temples throbbed.

I don't want to code anymore, I'm going to sleep.
