"Wake up, she's awake!"
"Zhao Xiaokui, can you recognize this?"
"how do you feel?"
"This is two, I'm not stupid." Zhao Xiaokui opened Gou Rixin's hand, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why are you here?"
In front of her was Lin Bai Gou Rixin, a group of people who were supposed to be in S City.
"Why are we here, do you know how long you've been in a coma?"
Zhao Xiaokui was surprised, "Have I been in a coma for a long time?"
"For a whole month and a half, how long did you say? Hurry up, call your girlfriend, since the first day you fell into a coma, she found out that something was wrong and kept asking us where you were going. If you lie down again, we will I'm going to tell her the truth."
Zhao Xiaokui took the phone, pressed the familiar number, and called Shen Zhifei.
"Hey?"
The call was connected very quickly, Shen Zhifei's voice was slightly distorted after being transformed by radio waves, but Zhao Xiaokui could still hear his girlfriend's voice.
The heart that was originally empty and had nowhere to rest suddenly fell to the ground, she said softly: "It's me."
"..." The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and she heard Shen Zhifei take a breath and said, "You're back."
No questions, no doubts, just a simple sentence, you are back.
Zhao Xiaokui felt like a flying kite that fell back into the master's hands.
She answered softly.
The medical staff came very quickly, and Shen Zhifei also heard the voice here, she whispered: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Gou Rixin took over the phone and looked at Zhao Xiaokui, who was smiling all over his face, very sad, "People don't want to eat dog food!"
Zhao Xiaokui was surrounded by a group of medical staff, and waved to him perfunctorily: "Aiqing, step back, don't get in the way of the imperial doctor."
Doctors wearing masks, their eyes slightly curved.
One person pushed Gou Rixin out, and the others methodically connected various instruments to Zhao Xiaokui's body. At the same time, someone held a form and asked her how she felt at this moment.
Zhao Xiaokui naturally answered one by one.
After about an hour of testing, Zhao Xiaokui was allowed to be released from the ward.
But at this time she was still not free, and Lin Bai informed her that Zhu Wei and Shi Ning were on the coming plane and should arrive soon.
Zhao Xiaokui was starving to death. After confirming that they would not be there for a while, he shouted, "I want to eat, I want to eat, and if I don't eat, I will starve to death."
Gou Rixin leaned on her shoulders and walked towards the cafeteria, "Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner, tell me what you saw in the ruins, I've never been to the ruins at sea. ."
"Have you been to the ruins on land?" Zhao Xiaokui asked rhetorically.
"Hey, don't you underestimate people?" Gou Rixin feigned angrily, "Not only have I been there, I have also discovered ruins!"
Zhao Xiaokui's eyes widened, why didn't she know this
Lin Bai dismantled the platform next to him. "He found that it was actually a standard cave dwelling ruins. The cave space was five square meters. The ruins he found were ten square meters. There was nothing in it except the stones from tens of thousands of years ago."
Gou Rixin stiffened his neck and said, "Then... that's also a ruin, isn't it!"
Zhao Xiaokui and Lin Bai laughed, and the air was filled with cheerful laughter.
Gou Rixin is curious about the ruins in the sea, mainly about Zhao Xiaokui's adventures, while Lin Bai is more pragmatic. He is curious about the mutant creatures Zhao Xiaokui met, because according to the statistics returned by Zhu Wei and the others, the ruins discovered this time are all Among the sea ruins, the largest one, in addition to the royal city they discovered, they also explored a distance of hundreds of kilometers and discovered many giant marine creatures that are not found in modern society.
"It's a pity that there are no mermaids." Lin Bai regretted this very much, "The experts at the Night's Watch believe that there should indeed be a creature similar to humans living in this city, and they suspect that it is the legendary mermaid. Unfortunately, all the palaces There are no murals left, and no one knows what the mermaid looks like."
"Uh..." Zhao Xiaokui, who was holding a chicken leg, asked suspiciously, "Isn't there a statue?"
This time, Lin Bai asked her, "What statue?"
Zhao Xiaokui only found out when Zhu Wei came, that everyone except him had forgotten the lifelike mermaid statue in the middle of the Mermaid King City.
"You suddenly fell into a coma." Zhu Wei described the scene he saw, "When other people were doing record work, I and you swam above the city, and you suddenly swam towards the base of the statue in the middle of the city, and then I'm dizzy. If you don't believe me, I still have a video of that time."
Zhao Xiaokui watched the video silently. In the video, she did swim to the base of a huge statue, and then suddenly passed out.
It didn't match her memory at all.
She continued: "I remember when we entered the ruins, we discussed the mermaid statue. Is there a video there?"
As if knowing that she was going to ask this question, Zhu Wei said, "Yes."
It is also a flawless video. In the middle of the underwater city in the video, there is only a bare statue base, and no one discusses the mermaid statue on it, as if the statue did not exist from the beginning to the end.
But Zhao Xiaokui must have seen the mermaid statue.
"Can you give me a pen?" Zhao Xiaokui asked.
Zhu Wei and Shi Ning glanced at each other, and the two third-order transcendents nodded at the same time, saying: "Of course."
The paper and pen were quickly brought in. Zhao Xiaokui stared at the white paper and quickly wrote down the outline of the mermaid city he saw. For the extraordinary, it may be difficult to create a piece of art, but drawing a tiger land according to a cat. It is not an easy task to print out the picture in his mind.
But the problem arose when she drew the merman statue.
Shi Ning and Zhu Wei looked at the strange image that was distorted and distorted, and was far from the neat and neat lines next to it, without any hesitation, and realized that what Zhao Xiaokui said was probably true.
She did see a merman statue.
"Stop, don't draw anymore, we trust you." Shi Ning said, "I'm afraid you have come into contact with something of a higher rank."
Zhao Xiaokui stopped writing, woke up, and saw the strange images he had drawn.
She frowned slightly, "This is not what I want to paint."
"We know." Shi Ning comforted her, "You should have seen a higher-level existence, so you can't draw it."
"what is that?"
Shi Ning and Zhu Wei looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Before inviting Zhao Xiaokui to enter the ruins, none of them thought that her luck would be so good, and even this kind of situation could happen.
"You should know that above the second- and third-order extraordinary, there are higher-level extraordinary, right? Then do you know the order of the most powerful extraordinary on earth?" Before Zhao Xiaokui could answer, Shi Ning He took over Zhu Wei's words and said, "It's the sixth order."
"But is the sixth-order the end of the superhuman? Obviously not. Although we have never encountered a creature higher than the sixth-order in the many ruins we have entered, all traces and records show that the sixth-order is definitely not. The end of the superhuman."
"And the so-called higher-order existence refers to those extraordinary creatures that exceed the sixth order."
Shi Ning smiled helplessly, "Your luck is really good, encountering a higher-level existence in the ruins has only happened in the world less than ten times, but the commonality of each is the same. , that is, after seeing the existence of higher rank, no one can reveal the picture that they saw, and it has surprised us that you can say what you saw."
When Zhao Xiaokui said that he saw the mermaid statue, they did not completely believe her words, because the hallucinations had happened more than once or twice when entering the ruins. But when she was holding the pen, but couldn't draw anything, they were really sure that Zhao Xiaokui might have really seen a higher-level existence.
Because if it is an illusion, even if the thing seen does not exist, but with the supplement of human imagination, it is impossible to say that it cannot be drawn at all.
Both Shi Ning and Zhu Wei expressed their surprise, because other people with similar experiences couldn't even draw it, they couldn't even say what they saw, they could only describe their own extraordinary experience. , but if you really want to ask about the specific situation, it's like being under a spell, and you can't say a single useful word.
Zhao Xiaokui's specialness made them unable to help but continue to ask: "Then what do you remember?"
Zhao Xiaokui closed his eyes and flipped through the memories in his mind.
She was surprised to find that there seemed to be a lot more inside.
She opened her eyes and said hesitantly, "There seems to be something in my mind, but if you want me to say it... I can't say it."
Shi Ning felt a little regretful, but still smiled: "You don't have to force it if you can't tell it. Maybe one day you will be able to tell it when your level is enough. Congratulations on your promotion to the third level."
"Ah?" Zhao Xiaokui, who became a third-order superhuman after realizing it, didn't have any special feeling. Since she returned to Earth, her progression seems to be going very smoothly. Except for the first step, because the soul and body did not merge, which made her feel pain for a while, the second and third steps were unbelievably smooth.
"Oh." She answered Shi Ning's congratulations dazedly. She still had an unreal feeling about her promotion to the third rank, but there was one more important thing to do right now.
She felt that Shi Ning and Zhu Wei should have misunderstood what they said.
She explained: "No, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I said that I can't say it. It's because I don't know how to say it. It's not that I really can't say it."
"What do you mean you don't know how to say it?"
Zhao Xiaokui scratched her head, also a little distressed. She looked around, trying to find a way to describe it. Suddenly, she saw the sign of the Night Watch Institute on the instrument not far away, and she suddenly had an idea.
"Let's go to the research institute. I should know what to say when I enter the research institute."
Shi Ning and Zhu Wei still didn't understand what she meant, but a trip to the research institute was not a big deal.
Professor Gu of the Night Watchman Research Institute in S City is an old acquaintance of Zhao Xiaokui. The slate book he discovered before was his research project. After meeting, he was very concerned about Zhao Xiaokui's body and asked, "Xiaokui, how is your health? Is it better?"
After getting a positive answer, he couldn't help but tease: "Why do you remember that I am here? Did you find anything else?"
Who knew that Zhao Xiaokui smiled, "I'm not sure, I have to go and see to find out."
Professor Gu didn't expect this answer, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Zhao Xiaokui's hand and said, "Walk around, which laboratory do you want to go to? I'll take you in."
Zhao Xiaokui was taken aback by Professor Gu's enthusiasm for the experiment, and she couldn't help laughing and crying: "It won't be a while, don't worry."
In Professor Gu's mind, the discovery of the contents of the slate book, the capture of the evil god, and a series of other events have long made him equate Zhao Xiaokui with Koi. Hearing that he has new discoveries, how can he not be in a hurry Woolen cloth!
Shi Ning and Zhu Wei, the two third-order superhumans, have always been big men who have been offered to wherever they go. It is rare to feel the feeling of being ignored once.
To be honest, they were also looking forward to what Zhao Xiaokui wanted to do when he came to the institute.
