Mu Heng crossed his legs and sat in the back of the car with his eyes down.
The invitation from the Ability Academy is something many people dream of, but it's the opposite in Mu Heng's case.
After five consecutive years of refusal, he agreed to the invitation for the first time.
The school took this very seriously and generously gifted various privileges, and even agreed that he could miss the first two rounds of entrance exams and only attend the third actual monster battle.
And this time Mu Heng came this time just for another secret mission of the Monster Management Bureau.
The vehicle moves forward slowly, and the highly enclosed windows isolate all sounds from the outside world.
Suddenly, Mu Heng seemed to be aware of something.
He raised his eyes and looked out the car window.
Not far away, a few students from the University of Kuala Lumpur blocked a young man in the corner, and the atmosphere full of gunpowder smoke was on the verge of triggering.
The young man who was forced into the corner lowered his head, his shoulders were thin, his chin was pale and thin, and he looked fragile and fragile. Surrounded by a group of people, he looked extremely weak and pitiful, and his shaggy hair looked extremely familiar.
Mu Heng said suddenly: "Stop it."
The driver was startled. It seemed that he didn't expect the other party to issue such an order, but he slowed down obediently.
Mu Heng: "Go over."
The driver didn't dare to ask more, and turned around and drove forward.
The window slowly fell, revealing the face of the person sitting in the back row.
The deep eyebrows were sharp-edged aggressive, the iconic silver hair was tied behind his head, and a pair of unemotional blue eyes narrowed slightly: "What happened?"
The people who blocked Shi'an turned their heads fiercely, ready to call people not to be nosy.
But the moment they saw each other, their hearts almost stopped beating.
Several people paled, sweat dripping from their foreheads, and stammered: "No, no, sir."
Mu Heng silently stared at the backs of the few people who had fled, then turned his head, his gaze fell on the young man who was not far away: "Get in the car."
The demon worm hidden in Shi'an's sleeve also almost stopped beating.
As a monster, it certainly knew Mu Heng’s fierce name, and had heard of the extraordinary intuition of this most capable person. It dared not say anything to Shi’an, but only dared to pray silently in its heart—
do not go! do not go!
Find an excuse to leave!
"Ok."
Shi An looked at the glitter moving in front of him, and subconsciously agreed.
Devil: "..."
I fucking—
It rolled its eyes with anger, wishing to shake Shi'an's shoulder vigorously to see if it could hear the sound of the sea.
Of course it's just thinking about it.
To dare is not to dare.
Shi An walked to the other side, opened the door of the back seat, and sat in next to Mu Heng.
The driver sitting in the front: "..."
He has never seen such a... conscious person.
The vehicle starts slowly.
Mu Heng: "Address."
The sunlight outside the car window fell on his silver hair, and the hair flowed like melted silver, which appeared more shining and bright in the limited space in the car. Shi'an was in a trance: "Huh?"
"The address of the dormitory." Mu Heng repeated patiently.
Shi An: "I won't go back to the dormitory."
He thought for a while and continued: "By the way, can you put me back where I got in the car?"
After all, the gap should be nearby.
driver:"… "
So what did you just get in the car for? !
Mu Heng didn't seem to think that the other party was the answer.
He was taken aback, turned his head and looked down at the young man sitting beside him.
Late that night, Mu Heng hardly noticed Shi'an's appearance. This was the first time he looked at each other carefully.
The boy is very thin, but his facial features are soft and blunt. The eyes are very dark, as clear and bright as if they are immersed in mercury. They look cute and obedient, with an extremely harmless appearance.
The nicks on Mu Heng's eyebrows are slightly deep.
Although the results of the testing equipment are very obvious, and Shi An’s resume is not too suspicious, he always feels that something is wrong—just like there is darkness under the peaceful surface of deep still water. And the deep whirlpool whirled silently.
Under the extremely focused gaze of those eyes, a faint sense of restlessness arose in Mu Heng's heart.
"Did you consider my last proposal?"
Mu Heng: "... What?"
Shi An said very naturally, "Of course I bought you."
The driver in front shivered uncontrollably and almost didn't drive to the lawn. With great difficulty, he managed to control his shocking emotions—this was the first time he had served the legendary chief, who could have thought of it the first time. Encountered such an explosive event!
Mu Heng's complexion was the same as before. He rubbed his fingertips, and lowered his cold eyes, with a dark blue background, like a distant sky with a storm brewing.
There is a kind of indifferent silence in his voice:
"Talk about it, why?"
"Of course you are good-looking." Shi'an replied without hesitation.
Especially hair and eyes.
Dragons are very vain and beauty-loving creatures. They never stingy on their love of beauty.
-Although their way of expressing affection is often looting and plundering.
"Squeak!" The harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded, and even if the car was no matter how advanced it was, the car body couldn't help but shook violently.
Shi An didn't have time to finish the rest of the words, and he didn't sit still, and slumped forward.
A hand with dark tactical gloves supported him.
The fingers were slender and the movements were smooth, as if they contained an indisputable strength, firmly controlling the boy's thin shoulders.
He was very strong, even though he was behind the thin clothes, the rough leather texture still burned deep and heavy on the opponent's skin, mixed with the friction of the clothes, and brought a burning pain.
Shi'an was pinched and couldn't stand it.
He was so afraid of pain, so he struggled instinctively and protested extremely bluntly: "It hurts, let go."
driver:"… "
He looked desperate.
Hearing so many things, he will be silenced, right
Mu Heng raised his eyes, and a pair of silver-blue eyes swept lightly toward the driver.
The driver trembled all over, and immediately retracted his gaze, staring at the road in front of him, for fear of attracting the slightest attention of the other party.
Mu Heng let go.
He said, "Go around."
Soon, the car made a big circle and returned to the place where it was on the car.
Shi'anla opened the door, got out of the car happily, and waved behind him:
"Bye, remember to think about it!"
The people in the car didn't respond, and the window that blocked the outside view slid upward, blocking the man's sharp profile face.
The vehicle started and continued to drive in the original direction.
Inside the car.
Mu Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on his hand.
He doesn't like direct contact with anyone.
Because of this, he prefers to wear gloves when going out to avoid any physical contact.
-This is generally sufficient.
But what is strange is that this time even though the gloves are separated, he can still clearly and distinctly feel the touch of the boy's shoulders. The skeleton is thin, as delicate and light as a bird, as if it could be broken by a single fold.
This makes him... very irritable.
Mu Heng's fingers were folded, turned over and placed on his knees, his eyes were deep, like an ice lake shrouded in shadows.
trouble.
Shi An stood there and looked around.
The humans who had troubled him before are gone. This is not a lively place. Only students in twos and threes are walking in the distance.
At this time, he felt his cuff move.
I saw the Demon Worm crawling out of Shi'an's sleeve with difficulty.
Shi An: "You haven't moved for a long time."
The demon worm moved his leg weakly: "... Of course!"
It is said that Mu Heng has a strong perception of monsters, and now let’s not talk about himself, even Shi’an has obviously not recovered to full prosperity. At this time, facing Mu Heng is almost suicidal, so the monster just forced himself into it. It was in a state of suspended animation-it was unable to do this before, and it wasn't until Shi'an controlled the increase or decrease of the magic power in its body that it faintly grasped a trick.
The demon worm took a breath, and finally got a little bit of energy: "Do you know who the human was just now!"
Shi An thought about it seriously, and guessed: "...Bright?"
"..." The devil can resist the urge to roll his eyes, but cannot help the volume increase: "That is the strongest person in the entire human race!"
Shi An was taken aback.
After pondering for a long time, he asked in frustration: "Then he shouldn't be short of money?"
It seems unlikely that it can be bought with money.
Devil: "..."
My heart is so fucking tired.
It looked at Shi'an, and asked inexplicably, "Master Devil Dragon, during your period of life, there should be many races with different-colored eyes, right?"
Shi An nodded: "Yes!"
He shook his fingers and counted: "The elves' hair is the best, with silver and blond hair. The mermaid's hair is light blue, shining like a sapphire..."
The devil was shocked: "Then, did you snatch it back?"
Shi An shook his head: "Of course not."
He said naturally: "Because they are not necessary, none of them are worthy of being my collection."
For dragons, treasures and collections are of course different.
Of course, the more treasures are the better, but only the most beautiful and precious treasures can be worthy of the dragon's collection.
The devil was taken aback.
It suddenly remembered that Mu Heng's family seemed to be very old, and his ancestors seemed to be the Dragon Slayer family.
For no reason, the demon worm thought of a related rumor.
It is said that there will be a faint perception between fantasy species and their rivals... or even attraction.
But the devil has never taken these rumors seriously.
After all, the fantasy species has disappeared on the mainland for more than 10,000 years, and the rumors about the fantasy species that have been circulating to the present are basically speculations of later generations.
Take the abyss dragon for example.
After getting along for such a long time, even though he was still very afraid of Shi'an, the demon worm also slightly understood the temperament of this legendary ancient fantasy species.
Of course, strong is really strong.
She loves to sleep, loves beauty, loves to eat, and loves to be coquettish but never fails.
The demon worm thought about it seriously.
—Wait, or is it just a problem with this one
It surreptitiously looked at Shi'an, and started racking its brains to think about the words, hoping to say something to dispel the dangerous idea of the other party trying to get close to Mu Heng.
Shi An pondered for a few seconds and said, "Since that human being does not lack money, then the previous method will not work..."
But before the demon worm breathed a sigh of relief, the other party frowned in distress and continued: "-Of course I have thought about the method of removing the eyeballs and peeling the scalp, but the technique required is too delicate, my body My claws are too big, I definitely won’t be able to do it, and most importantly, that will reduce the gloss and make it ugly."
Devil: "???"
etc
Suddenly, Shi An's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist on the palm of his hand:
"That's right! I know a monster that can secrete resin. As long as you turn him into a huge piece of amber, you can preserve the most beautiful state of his hair and eyes, and I can have the most perfect collection!"
Demon insect aphasia: "..."
Please don't say such cruel words with such an innocent expression, thank you.
It is everyone's responsibility to care for the mental health of monsters.
Shi An seemed to be aware of the devil's gaffe, and bowed his head and said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I won't do anything until I regain my strength."
The devil said nonchalantly: "... Good, good."
That, at least my initial goal was achieved.
—Advise Shi'an to stay away from Mu Heng.
Shi An: "Well, you said you felt the position of the abyss crack before, in which direction?"
"Oh yes!"
The devil finally remembered their purpose of going out.
He lifted his upper body, sniffed in the air, then pointed in one of the directions, and said for sure:
"There!"
As a result, Shi An followed the guidance of the Demon Insect, turning around on campus, with fewer and fewer people around him, and the places he passed by became more and more secluded.
The vegetation has grown from sparse to luxuriant, almost obscuring the sky, with only a little distant sunlight falling from overhead.
The road has come to an end.
It was a wall, made of some unknown iron-gray metal, high and far away, with barely visible edges.
The devil continued to sniff, and said affirmatively: "Yes! It's inside this wall!"
Shi An walked forward around the root of the wall.
After more than ten minutes, he finally caught a glimpse of the shadow of the gate, but he was stopped before Shi An stepped forward.
It was an automatic barrier of magic, covering the air like a film.
The guard on the side saw him by sight: "Hey! Student? You are not allowed to go ahead!"
Shi An obediently stopped and said "Oh".
He pointed to the tall gray-blue wall in front of him, and asked, "What's inside?"
After seeing the white and clean face of the young man in front of him, the guard's voice also subconsciously softened. He replied: "This is the venue for the third round of actual combat assessment for freshmen, and it will not be open until the exam."
Shi An was startled and turned to look at the wall.
Crack in the Abyss...
In the venue for the third round of testing
On the day when the written examination results came out, Shi Rui didn't seem to care about it on her face, but she still felt very worried in her heart.
He can be sure that his grades will not be too bad, but what he can't be sure is Shi'an's performance.
Shi'an has not successfully passed the college entrance test for three consecutive years. If he is smart enough, he should know to use this knowledge of learning theory. If he scores first in the written test, the next most important third round is the monster. In actual combat, he will have a certain advantage.
After Shi Rui figured this out, he immediately understood why Shi An would spend three full hours in the written test that day.
Of course, it is to take advantage of this and cleverly avoid the flaws of his lack of magic power in the third round.
What's worse... he might even get a not bad ranking.
And his advantage in this competition will also be lost.
After all... I am the bastard.
Although Shi Rui had already understood his identity, at the moment he realized this, his heart still seemed to have been pierced with a needle, burning with shame, but now he can do nothing, even if he secretly provokes Shi'an's people who found faults all returned to nothing, and hesitated to say what happened.
Although Shi Rui was anxious, he still maintained the illusion that he didn't know about it, and he didn't ask any questions.
The listing day is coming soon.
Shi Rui's surface was flat, but his eyes swept from top to bottom anxiously, searching for Shi'an's name.
—Before he found it, he saw his name.
Twenty-fifth place.
It's a very good ranking.
And most importantly, Shi Rui can be sure that Shi An is not one of the 24 people in front of him.
He felt a boulder in his heart slowly fall, and he could hardly restrain the urge to rise at the corner of his mouth.
But at this moment, Shi Rui heard one of his friends say in surprise: "Eh, Xiao Rui, isn't your trash brother's name on this list?"
Shi Rui was startled: "What?"
He asked: "Did you miss it?"
"Absolutely not, I have counted it twice."
Shi Rui stepped forward quickly, earnestly, sweeping the names on the list without landing.
Yes, there is no time.
"Could it be that cheating was canceled?" His friend said nonchalantly.
Shi Rui smiled reluctantly, looking a little mad.
Although he really wanted to believe this answer, but...
It seemed that something was out of control when he hadn't noticed it himself, which made Shi Rui very uneasy.
At this time, there was a commotion in front of the crowd.
Shi Rui was pulled out of her thoughts, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, a man wearing a black coat and long silver hair walked up to the examiner's desk unhurriedly—
Sit down in the only vacant position.
Almost all the students subconsciously let out an incredible exclamation.
They never thought that the only examiner who did not come was the legendary one! Can the college actually invite him? ! Everyone was excited and panicked, after all, it was the first time they were able to see the legends around them so close.
Mu Heng sat on his head, raising his eyes to look at the trembling new student in the distance.
He swept around slowly, but couldn't find the figure in his memory, and the depth of his icy eyes became deeper, and the invisible air of killing was faintly released.
The other examiners couldn't help but get nervous.
They communicated with each other with their eyes:
—Didn’t it mean that the evil god came only in the third round? Why does it appear now
—How do I know!
Shi Rui hadn't been relieved from the shock, only to see the few people who were just beside him talking and laughing suddenly took a step back, almost panicked and hid them back. In a cold sweat, his pupils tightened, revealing an expression of extreme horror.
Shi Rui: "What's wrong?"
The boy led by Duan Hua was named Duan Hua. That day, Shi Rui revealed Shi'an's whereabouts to him seemingly inadvertently.
Duan Hua was almost unremarkable, his lips trembled, his eyes dodged, and he finally whispered the truth: "That day... we didn't tell you, in fact, we went to stop your trash brother. He cheated to enter the academy and he was not worthy of it. Going to school here, but we didn’t succeed... ”
Shi Rui asked anxiously, "What happened later? Tell me what happened?"
Duan Hua trembled, and said indifferently: "Then... I was seen by Chief Mu."
Shi Rui's nails were squeezed into his palms, but his face was still habitually worrisome: "I told you all, don't trouble him."
"Later, I heard that it seemed that someone saw Shi An getting off Officer Mu's car." Another person interjected in.
Shi Rui felt that the smile on his face had a tendency to crack, and his nails plunged deeply into his palms, and there was a fiery tingling pain.
—Good luck.
Not only has a good family background, a good background, and an outstanding appearance, but he can always avoid the coming crisis every time.
This was the case during the simulation test, and it is now again.
Shi Rui's eyes were covered with dark clouds, and he slowly gritted his teeth.
I want to see when your luck will run out.
On the examiner's bench.
Mu Heng retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes indifferently.
The test machine snatched from Zhuo Fu was heavily pressed in his pocket, and it was meaningless before it was taken out.
He frowned slightly and tapped the table top with his gloved fingertips, making an even and dull sound.
— Throwing away the follow-up processing of that secret mission and coming for the second round of interviews was a complete mistake.
At the same time, in a student dormitory.
Holding a large bag full of snacks in his arms, Shi An ran back to his room happily.
A notice was randomly dropped on the table.
—After a long period of difficult discussions, the chief examiners finally made a decision: to dispense with Shi'an's interview and directly let him pass the second round and enter the third round of actual combat.
He threw himself on the bed contentedly, and then turned on the game console borrowed from his new roommate.
Mario's cheerful sound effect sounded, and a plumber with a red cap appeared on the screen.
—Games are simply the greatest invention in the human world except snacks!
The author has something to say:
The conqueror of the sky and the earth, the destroyer who brings fear and flames, the figure master, the game house, the folk artist who put the pigeons, and Shi'an
