Lin Qiye dragged his suitcase along the rugged and narrow yellow sand road until he reached the military checkpoint.
Just as he was about to wait for the last bus to take them, his eyes fell on something not far away and he was suddenly stunned.
On the side road, a familiar black van was parked there. A woman wearing a red sportswear and sunglasses was leaning against the door. When she saw Lin Qiye, she waved excitedly.
Lin Qiye smiled and walked forward dragging his suitcase.
"Sister Hongying, why are you here?" Lin Qiye asked with a smile.
Hongying giggled, walked quickly forward, and hugged Lin Qiye in her arms.
"Of course, we are here to pick up the new members of our 136th team from the camp!" Hongying almost strangled Lin Qiye to the point that he could not breathe. When Lin Qiye's neck was almost broken, she loosened her arms, took the suitcase from Lin Qiye's hands, and continued:
"The captain has been calculating the time for you to leave the camp since last month. He circles the calendar every day and keeps repeating how many days it will take for you to return... It's like a monk chanting sutras. It's so annoying."
Hongying got in the car and closed the door. "However, everyone is very happy that you can be transferred back to our 136th team. Only Leng Xuan has a stern face and says something coldly, 'Our Qiye should not be transferred back to Cangnan, he should go to a higher place...'"
Lin Qiye, who was sitting in the passenger seat, scratched his head, as if he had already imagined how Leng Xuan would look when he said this.
Hongying started the car and was about to drive away, but after thinking for a moment, she turned sideways and patted Lin Qiye's shoulder without saying a word.
Lin Qiye asked blankly: "Sister Hongying, what are you doing?"
"… The captain said, let me comfort you, it's not shameful not to get a good ranking in the training camp, everyone believes in your potential… "
Hongying's cheeks turned red. "But, but I... I really don't know how to comfort people. I wanted to imitate the captain and pat his shoulders, but suddenly I found that I didn't know what to say... Oh, it's so annoying!"
Hongying was so angry that she stepped hard on the accelerator. With a buzzing sound, the tires rolled up a lot of smoke and dust, and the van rushed forward quickly.
Lin Qiye grabbed the handle tightly and swallowed his saliva, "Sister Hongying... calm down, calm down!"
At this time, Lin Qiye also figured out the cause and effect of the matter. It seemed that the ranking order in the training camp was not directly announced by the instructors. Everyone in Team 136 thought that Lin Qiye was transferred back to Cangnan because his ranking was not high...
Do you want to explain this
While Lin Qiye was hesitating, Hongying continued to speak:
"Actually, we were all planning to come pick you up today, but something came up and I was the only one who had time to come."
"What happened?"
"There's a suspected 'mysterious' case in the east of the city. Wen Qimo, Leng Xuan, and Xiaonan went to check on the situation. The captain and Xiangnan Laogou... are meeting an important person."
"Important people?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully, "What important person would come to Cangnan?"
Hongying smiled mysteriously, "It is said that he is the human ceiling."
"What?!" Lin Qiye was stunned.
"Are you surprised? When I heard the news, I almost dropped my chopsticks." Hongying shrugged. "It is said that the day before yesterday, suspected fluctuations of 'gods' were detected over at Jinnan Mountain, so a human ceiling was specially invited to investigate.
Now let's get to know the situation with our team stationed in Cangnan, and then we will go to the camp to find the leader."
Hearing this, Lin Qiye's heart suddenly hung in the air. The day before yesterday at Jinnan Mountain... Wasn't that when he carried Nyx's soul and killed the Flame Vein Earth Dragon in the sky? !
Although he colluded with Baili Pangpang and Instructor Hong in the camp to give a confession and deceived the other instructors, the killing of the Flame Vein Earth Dragon was a real thing. Will this human ceiling find any clues when he goes to Jinnan Mountain
"Which human ceiling is coming?"
Lin Qiye remembered that when Wen Qimo was explaining the human ceiling to him, he used legends to divide the five people into "one sword, one rider, one master, one void, and one master". So who was the one who came to Cangnan
"He came here in a carriage. He must be the 'Master'." Hongying guessed.
Lin Qiye uttered an "oh" and lowered his head to think.
This time... I'm in trouble.
…
Peace Office.
underground.
Chen Muye and Wu Xiangnan looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
On the sofa opposite them, an old man in his fifties was sitting there, with his long white hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. Although his face was old, his eyes were still bright, giving him a somewhat immortal-like appearance.
He held a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and then slowly put it down.
"Master Chen... We don't know much about what happened on Jinnan Mountain. You may need to ask Yuan Gang for the specific details." Chen Muye said carefully.
Master Chen smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there's no rush for this matter... Please don't urge me to leave. Is it so unacceptable for you to drink tea and chat with me here?"
Wu Xiangnan couldn't help but speak, "But Master... We have been here drinking tea with you for the whole afternoon, and now the sun is about to set, isn't this..."
"It's okay, it's okay." Master Chen said nonchalantly.
Seeing that Master Chen was unwilling to leave, Chen Muye and Wu Xiangnan had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink with him.
"I heard that your team 136 has a new night watchman named Lin Qiye." Master Chen said calmly while sipping his tea, "I wonder if you two could tell me more about his story?"
Wu Xiangnan was stunned, "Master, do you know Lin Qiye?"
"I have naturally heard of the double god agent." Master Chen said calmly.
Wu Xiangnan turned to look at Chen Muye. Chen Muye nodded to him, and Wu Xiangnan continued:
"In fact, our acquaintance with Lin Qiye started with the incident involving the ghost-faced man..."
Wu Xiangnan started with the incident of the ghost-faced man and basically recounted everything that Lin Qiye had done, including their Team 136's evaluation of him. He praised him every three sentences and every five sentences, saying that Lin Qiye was good in every way and he was praising him to the sky.
Master Chen just listened silently, nodded from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking in his deep eyes.
When Wu Xiangnan finished speaking, Master Chen put down the cup in his hand and said, "I see... I understand."
Just as Wu Xiangnan looked at Master Chen expectantly, wanting him to leave quickly, Master Chen spoke again: "This tea is a little cold."
Wu Xiangnan: …
Chen Muye understood what Master Chen meant, looked at Wu Xiangnan and said, "Xiangnan, go make some more tea for the Master."
"good."
Wu Xiangnan picked up the tea set and walked out of the room. Only Chen Muye and Master Chen were left in the room.
Master Chen stared at Chen Muye, and after a while, he slowly spoke:
"Captain Chen, you have worked hard over the past ten years..."
