In the mahogany box, the golden scales lay quietly on the soft cloth. Although the surface was covered with scratches and the color was a little dull, Zhao Xiaokui still felt it. The moment she saw the scales, the blood vessels throbbing feeling.
"Saw it at a quirky underground auction, thought you might be interested, and bought it back."
Zhao Xiaokui's hand lightly touched the golden scales, and at the moment when her fingertips touched the scales, fine golden scales also appeared on the back of her hand. No matter the size or the shape of a single wheel, the two looked exactly the same.
But the scale in the box was as big as a palm.
No one knows better than Zhao Xiaokui what a fish scale of this size means.
It means that if this scale really comes from a mermaid, the level of the mermaid is likely to be above level six.
After a while, she took a deep breath and closed the lid.
"I like it very much, but," she looked at Shen Zhifei seriously, "if there is another auction like this in the future, I hope I can go with you."
She knows that Shen Zhifei's company is developing and her wealth is increasing. With her financial and material resources, even if she does not reveal her status as an extraordinary person, a large number of people will send similar invitations, hoping that she can participate in the circle of extraordinary people.
After all, the banknote ability is also a kind of extraordinary ability.
"Don't worry, I have what you gave me, and I will protect myself..."
Shen Zhifei explained halfway and said honestly, "I was wrong."
Zhao Xiaokui sternly said, "What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have gone to those places alone, I shouldn't have told you this."
Looking at her appearance, Zhao Xiaokui suddenly sighed and said, "I'm sorry, but I have too little time with you. When I come back from this mission, I will definitely accompany you. I will go with you wherever you want. okay?"
The world of the transcendent is so mysterious that even she can't restrain herself from being attracted, let alone Shen Zhifei.
It is impossible for her to isolate Shen Zhifei from the superhuman world for the so-called safety. This is unfair to her.
Zhao Xiaokui's expression was full of apology, and Shen Zhifei knew at a glance that she had misunderstood.
Where she is interested is the world of transcendents, what she is interested in is obviously the world where Zhao Xiaokui is.
As the Shen family, with her years of experience studying abroad, before she met Zhao Xiaokui, if she was really interested in those special powers, would she really not be able to get in touch with them? No, as long as she moved a little bit of thought, she might be able to lift the veil of that mysterious world.
She was simply not interested, guarding her own one-third of an acre of land, doing things according to the rules, and never overstepping in life.
But an apology is an apology. Thinking of what he said, Zhao Xiaokui couldn't help but feel guilty.
She dreamed of being a salted fish, and she joined the night walker. She hopes that after gaining strong power, she can lie down and be a salted fish with peace of mind. Who knows that now the power is getting stronger and stronger, but the responsibilities and burdens on her body are also increasing. She is getting stronger and stronger. Although Yu Youmin and the others have not fully exposed her to the core business of Nightcrawler, Zhao Xiaokui can feel that both Yu Youmin and Shi Ning are taking themselves as core members of the future. .
What's more, she also absorbed the power of faith in this world, and she was destined to live and die with this world, and she naturally had the responsibility of guarding the world.
Whether she is passive or voluntary, at this stage, there are too many things that she can no longer choose. She wants to stay by Shen Zhifei's side for a long time, unless the world is at peace and the evil god It was all silent, and there was no place where she was needed as an extraordinary person.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xiaokui felt that no matter whether his promise could be fulfilled or not, the most important thing at the moment was to improve Shen Zhifei's strength.
Fortunately, after having the "Toust Meditation", Shen Zhifei seems to have Wusanquyiyi and Wang Houxiong from the students who are preparing for the college entrance examination, so there is no need to carry the previous elementary school students' workbooks over and over again.
Unlike most of the extraordinary people in the Nightcrawler, Shen Zhifei's understanding of the extraordinary world comes from Zhao Xiaokui, so many of the blind spots Yu Youmin and others could not think of are very obvious common sense to her. The thinking mode built under these circumstances allowed her to quickly master the cultivation methods in the "Toust Meditation".
Seeing that Shen Zhifei started to practice, Zhao Xiaokui stood up, left the room, went to the study to turn on the computer, and received the information sent to her by Lin Bai.
She was the only one who went to support the sea this time, because whether it was S City or other cities in China, the more powerful Transcendents were recruited into the last large-scale ruins that were discovered half a year ago. It hasn't come out so far.
For this mission, Lin Bai prepared a lot of information for her. Although it may not be useful, it is somewhat of a reference.
These materials are different from the sea ruins she is going to, and most of the records are still found in some previously discovered ruins.
Ruins, in written language, refer to the traces left by ancient human beings through various activities.
In Nightcrawler, it refers to some kind of mysterious space where traces of the activities of superhumans remain.
On the earth, there are hundreds of relics discovered and developed by humans, large and small.
Among them, China has the most relics discovered because of its vast territory and large population.
What Lin Bai sent was the information on these ruins.
Some of the ruins are very small. From the outside, they look like ordinary caves. When you walk in, you find that there is a cave inside. After accurate measurement, it is found that the space of the ordinary cave is actually ten times or even that of the mountain measured from the outside. It is a hundred times more, and its application of space means sounds like Xianjia Dongfu.
Some of the ruins are very large, hidden in the dense forest, and there is nothing wrong with walking by the side, but as long as you just step on the entrance and exit of the ruins, it is possible that the world will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Speaking of it, it is also thanks to those ALICE pals who love hiking but do not listen to persuasion to go to no-man’s land. There are several ruins where ALICE pals climbed over the fence where tourists stopped, and they stepped on the ruins and disappeared, scaring their companions enough. , Later, Nightcrawler even set up an alarm system. Anyone who reported that he was with his teammates just now, turned his back and disappeared, almost turned into a relic.
After reading a circle of information, Zhao Xiaokui finally had a general understanding of the so-called relics.
"Bring enough weapons and protective measures. If you don't have enough points, the dog and I can lend you."
Lin Bai's news warmed Zhao Xiaokui's heart. She replied, "You and Gouzi should keep buying equipment for yourself. I'm someone who has done so many meritorious deeds. How could the organization deduct my points?"
"In short, be careful," Lin Bai said. "Once you enter the ruins, you will enter another world. No one knows what the other side of the door will look like. I have made a list for you, you can use it as a reference."
As he said that, he sent a document, which contained two tables in total, one was "Dangerous Sources of Different Ruins and Countermeasures", and the other was "Relics List Reference", which really gave her thought in every aspect.
The dangers of ruins to human beings are actually mainly in three aspects, one is the climate inside, and the other is the creatures, animals, plants and insects that come from inside... Some ruins are famous for mosquitoes, and a small ant can sometimes make one The superhuman of the order overturned, and the three are related to the name of the ruins, which are from the legacy of the supernormal people in the past.
There is not much to say about the climate. The climate of most of the relics is acceptable. The difference from the outside world is at most one winter and one summer. The most fearful thing is to encounter the relics of that extreme climate, or the cold breath turns into ice. Going to the snowy world, the temperature is even scarier than the Antarctic, or it is terrifyingly hot, and if the hair is exposed to the protective clothing for a moment, you can smell the protein being burned.
Biological factors, we have to say those terrifying extraordinary creatures that the earth does not have. Some creatures don't seem to be lethal on the outside. For example, a certain climate environment is the remains of a tropical jungle. Inside, there grows a creature with snow-white fur similar to a rabbit. It is very close. This is a very weak creature. Until the camp was attacked one day, they watched the creature swell hundreds of times as if it was blown, and the two front teeth smashed directly through the head of a giant creature. .
Compared with this type of big guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, the most terrifying thing is the inconspicuous mosquitoes. After entering the ruins many times, the extraordinary people of the earth boasted that they had mastered the secret of adapting to the ruins. The head encountered a large creature that was almost invisible, and it was full of the remains of insects. As soon as the superhumans assigned by various countries were sent in, they were completely destroyed.
So far, the secret realm is being guarded by people, and they dare not open it, for fear that the creatures inside are too small to leave the secret realm when they are not paying attention and bring it to the earth, causing irreversible damage and danger to the human beings on earth.
Compared to the first two, the legacy of the superhuman has caused the least damage to human beings.
Because although everyone is separated by a civilization, there is no way to communicate with each other. If it weren't for the appearance of relics, people today would not even know that tens of thousands of years ago, there were people like them who established a kingdom and developed history on this planet. All signs show that the founder of the last civilization is still a kind of human, with human culture and human way of thinking.
So even if they don't understand the language, more or less, they can guess something.
But this small is based on the premise that no one can control the legacy of the extraordinary.
Those peculiar utensils that are left behind, the mysterious slate books, if no one controls them and no one knows how to use them, they are like a dick on the table, even if everyone knows that he is loaded, but people need it. The fear is nothing but the risk of fire, but when it's in someone's hands, people start to worry about how dangerous such a weapon really is.
When Shen Zhifei woke up, the sky outside was already bright.
Zhao Xiaokui took the list prepared by Lin Bai to find her, and let her choose the things that Zhao Xiaokui might use in it with the intuition of her astrologer.
"I pick?"
Zhao Xiaokui nodded his head as he should, "Lin Bai has listed too many lists for me, I'm here to help, not on vacation, just bring a few items on my body for self-defense, I really bring so many things over, I'm responsible People shouldn't be mad at me."
Shen Zhifei, who had suddenly assumed a major responsibility, immediately looked at the list nervously, holding the pen for a long time, not knowing where to put it.
Zhao Xiaokui looked at her profile, lowered her head, and sent the message.
On top of this message is a notice from Yu Youmin:
"Left at four o'clock, take the military transport plane."
