"Slippery tongue, did you know that there was an accident at the institute last night?"
"I know. Something strange has happened. But those things are the business of you, the Night Watchmen. What do they have to do with me? I am not a Night Watchman."
What Xu Le said felt a bit strange, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
"Report your whereabouts."
"I've been resting. Didn't you come over to ask me last night?"
"And in the morning?"
“I went to the flower and bird market to buy potted plants this morning. Miss Gu has been very busy recently, and the research process has been very depressing.
I plan to buy a pot of grass and put it next to her bed to ward off evil spirits. I also bought her a doll so that she can prick me with needles to vent her anger when she is angry.
Isn't it normal for subordinates to work for their leaders and hope that they can be happy? "
Xu Le said this and walked up the stairs blatantly. Several night watchmen from Team 2 didn't know whether they should stop him.
Afterwards, Xu Le placed the potted plants and dolls in front of Gu Jianuo's bedside in a dignified manner.
"There's something weird going on nearby. You night watchmen have a big responsibility. Why are you staring at me? I'm not a weird. Can't you just focus on your work
You are wasting time, and wasting time is wasting taxpayers’ money.”
Wang Yueqin did not let Xu Le go just because of his few words. She directly grabbed Xu Le's arm.
"Have you seen Wei Kui?"
“Yes.”
"Where is he?"
"How should I know? I'm not his father." Xu Le looked surprised.
"Didn't you say you saw him?"
"I saw him yesterday, and I even said hello to him."
"Xu Le, don't play tricks."
“Captain Wang Yueqin, I am neither your subordinate nor a night watchman.
I am currently a researcher employed by Beacon University. You have no reason and no right to question me like this."
Faced with Wang Yueqin's questioning, Xu Le did not give in at all.
The key is that there is no evidence, and Wang Yueqin can't do anything to him.
The investigation did not last too long. Today is already the 29th and the Kuroshio Current is approaching.
As Night Watchmen, at this point in time, they had already begun to urgently prepare for the coming Black Tide.
Moreover, the tasks of Team 2 and Team 6 of the Night Watch Division in Area B are different this time than before.
The above requirement is to protect Scholar Gu Jianuo until the Black Tide ends.
Does this clear requirement for protection mean that Gu Jianuo will head to the lower town during the Kuroshio period
"After the Black Tide, I will get to the bottom of this matter."
"We should indeed check it out." Xu Le nodded.
Afterwards, Xu Le touched the little doll's head and narrowed his eyes.
Red Moon Calamity Countdown: 1 day 13 hours 24 minutes 16 seconds
…
The night watchmen were preparing weapons and ammunition, and Xu Le himself was also preparing.
The Night Fury Black Staff was indeed very powerful. After killing Bai Kui and absorbing some of its offspring's power, it became even stronger.
But Xu Le can't use it all the time, because the bullets fired by the Night Fury Black Staff consume energy.
He is just a level 1 warlock. Even if he has abundant spiritual energy, he cannot consume it indefinitely.
Therefore, conventional weapons and equipment, as well as explosives are needed.
"Put these grenades on the institute's account, don't forget."
"knew."
The time of the red moon is very close, and Xu Le doesn’t know when Gu Jianuo will come back.
With the experience of the last Red Moon Disaster, by the 29th, people in the Lower City had begun to buy nails, iron sheets and iron thorns and began to build defenses for their homes.
It’s not because people in the Lower Town value their lives, but because the Lower Town faces danger far more often than the Upper Town.
There will be wise men in the lower city, even if they are not well educated.
But based on their intuition and experience, many people feel that this Kuroshio will still be very different.
So at this time, people in the lower city paid more attention to their family's defense facilities than ever before, regardless of whether they were useful or not.
Xu Le was also one of those who prepared for a rainy day.
He prepared a large amount of bullets, grenades, psychic recovery potions, and wound medicines.
A new Fate Scarecrow was also made.
After touching Ding Ke's head, Xu Le asked curiously:
"Do you think I can win?"
Meow! ~Ding Ke nodded.
"What if we lose?"
Ding Ke picked up the backpack beside him, jumped to the window and sat down, then spread out his paws and made a slightly helpless and humane expression to Xu Le.
That expression seemed to say:
"What can we do? If you lose, we'll just have to pack up and run away."
After Xu Le saw it, he also laughed.
"You are such a practical fellow. There is really no way to deal with level 1. The gap in strength between the two sides is too big.
But if it's level 2, there's a chance to win, what do you think?"
Meow! ~
…
Another day has passed.
On the afternoon of the 30th, in a laboratory somewhere in the upper city, Xiong Zemo and Gu Jianuo looked at Anjie who was conducting an indicator experiment.
Regarding the experimental results of the Attraction of Light, at the strong request of Gu Jianuo himself, the research materials were not reported.
Her reason was very simple. Although the experimental subject had already reached a relatively stable state.
But it has not yet undergone final testing. It needs to undergo final testing to determine its stability.
This reason is far-fetched, but the person currently in charge of the experiment is Gu Jianuo, and she has already produced the finished product of Anjie's experiment.
Regarding the project of Guidance to Light, once it is completed, it will be a revolutionary qualitative change for the entire Lighthouse.
Therefore, Xiong Zemo and the people in Shangcheng District did not push too hard.
“It’s an incredible breakthrough that an ordinary person could have level 2 strength and the power of light overnight.
Didn’t the previous experiments all fail? Why did this one succeed?”
Looking at the completely normal Angel in front of him, Gu Jianuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of inexplicable emotion appeared in his eyes.
"Didn't the teacher notice that either?"
"Hmm? What did you see?" Xiong Zemo frowned slightly, perhaps he did not expect Gu Jianuo to speak to him in this tone.
Gu Jianuo lowered his head slightly apologetically:
"I'm sorry, teacher. I was just in a spur of the moment and my attitude was a little off."
"It's okay. Tell me the final step in detail. Even if you can't announce it directly, it should be okay to tell me first, right?"
When Gu Jianuo heard Xiong Zemo's final experimental request, he shook his head slightly.
“Sorry, teacher, I can’t publish the specific experimental data yet.
And I would like to ask the teacher for some resources for the Life-Guiding Potion.
We will conduct the final test in this Kuroshio, and after the test is completed, we can truly publish the research data."
"I gave you a lot before. Have you used it up?"
"There aren't many left. After all, this time, I have to go to the front line."
Gu Jianuo's attitude was very firm, and her slightly confident attitude made Xiong Zemo feel out of control.
"Since you insist, I will approve another 100 for you.
The people above have lost their patience. I hope that your research results can make those people shut up during this black tide."
"Thank you, teacher. I will."
After finishing his report, Gu Jianuo picked up a suitcase containing 100 medicines, and left the institute with his assistant and Angel.
Xiong Zemo stood at the window on the rooftop and watched the three people leave, his eyes gradually becoming fixed.
He took out a doll from the secret compartment of the bookcase nearby.
This puppet is Gu Jianuo’s puppet.
Moreover, this doll is more exquisite than Xu Le's one and has more details.
"Want to get away? Let me see your skills."
…
The assistant who had been sitting in the car and had been silent all this time looked a little flustered. She had heard the conversation between Gu Jianuo and Xiong Zemo just now.
As an assistant, she is smart and well aware that the more she knows, the more dangerous it is.
However, Gu Jianuo just lowered his head and played with the ring with the sun symbol.
When the car was halfway through the journey and arrived at the downtown area, Gu Jianuo suddenly spoke:
"Xiao Li, your mental energy level is very high. What are you afraid of?"
"I, I, I didn't."
"Oh, don't be nervous, Xiao Li. Actually, things are not as complicated as you think."
"I understand, Miss Gu."
After hearing Gu Jianuo's comfort, assistant Xiao Li felt a little relieved.
But Gu Jianuo's next words made her even more frightened.
"Xiao Li, you know, the composition of this world is actually not as complicated as we think.
Although there are many powers, systems, and abilities, the essence of the extraordinary world is composed of three kinds of energy: red moon, ancient sound, and mental energy.
For the past 20 years, I have always believed that mental energy belongs to Gu Yinduo.
Heart energy is dangerous. It is difficult to control and can cause distortion.
But then I met a very interesting person, from whom I saw a breakthrough and completely changed my thinking.
Mental energy is actually a kind of energy that can be controlled.
It is a kind of power that belongs to us and can be controlled, but it is very difficult.
Anyone who can control mental energy can control a more powerful force.
Being able to lower one’s mental energy is a rare and extraordinary quality.
This is actually a means of controlling one's own mental energy. Its expressiveness generally lies in a person's willpower, which can enable a person to exert stronger strength.
But there is another way to use mental energy, mental energy release!
This is a more artistic way to use anima.
I accidentally saw Xu Le using mental energy, and more than once.
Originally I thought this was the method of the Red Moon Warlock, but later I found out that this was his own ability.
Now, I have this ability too.
The changes it has brought to me are simply beyond description!
Although I don’t know why a level 1 warlock like Xu Le can control mental energy so accurately.
But it doesn’t matter, I never think that my talent is weaker than anyone else.
He thought that if he could control the puppet, he could control anyone.
But in fact, we all know that puppets cannot control people's hearts, and teachers spend too much time facing puppets.
Puppets don't have mental energy, so..."
Gu Jianuo didn't finish his last words, but his assistant Xiao Li, who was driving, was completely panicked at this time.
She wasn't quite sure why Gu Jianuo wanted to tell her so much, but she was scared.
"Miss Gu, I have always been loyal to you."
"I know. I was just too excited because of the success of the experiment. I wanted to find someone to vent the words that had been suppressed in my heart.
I don't mind the fact that you secretly give information to the teacher every 2 afternoons, because it is the teacher's responsibility to monitor me.
I wouldn't mind if you used my official seal to embezzle money, because I don't care about money at all.
But you are still wrong. Your mistake is that you shouldn't have given my information to the teacher and then sold it to that woman Luo Juya.
Women are sensitive, what if she finds out? "
The assistant just braked and prepared to escape.
Phew!
A branch emitting golden light passed behind her head.
Anjie's fingers, which had turned into branches, moved violently, opened the car door, and dumped the assistant's body next to the sewer.
He took out a small bottle of medicine from Gu Jianuo's purse, sprinkled it on her body, and threw a match to light it.
Gu Jianuo had already sat in the driver's seat, started the steam engine, and drove away.
This scene of murder and burning of corpses appeared in front of many people.
But these people just looked at the burning body to confirm whether it was burned completely to avoid any deformation.
Everyone was busy building up their respective homes' defenses and had no time to waste.
It was a long time before a nearby store contacted the guards and asked them to come and deal with the street.
Today is a good time to sell defense supplies, and business cannot be delayed because of a corpse.
This is the indifference of the downtown area.
…
When Gu Jianuo brought Anjie back to the temporary research institute, it was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were less than 6 hours left before the arrival of the red moon.
"Miss Gu is back!"
As soon as he got off the car, Gu Jianuo could tell something was wrong from the expressions of the night watchmen present.
"What happened?"
Wang Yueqin hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth about what happened the night before.
Bull Demon, zombies, broken windows on the second floor, a chase, and the missing Wei Kui.
"The night before yesterday? The Bull Demon monster and a bunch of zombies?"
Gu Jianuo raised his eyebrows slightly. Why do these kinds of weirdness sound so familiar
During the Block 53 mission, Xu Le also summoned Bull Demons and Zombies.
She pushed up her glasses and looked at Xu Le. She had already guessed that it must be Xu Le who had done it last night.
As expected, he had discovered it a long time ago. The young man just couldn't hold his temper!
If the soul puppet spell was so easy to crack, she wouldn't have been controlled by Xiong Zemo for so many years.
If you can't completely destroy the doll, there is no point in stealing it.
Because the master of the ritual can control the puppet through the ritual anytime and anywhere.
If you try to destroy the doll violently, your soul will be shattered and you will die on the spot.
Xu Le in front of him was still alive, and Gu Jianuo felt that he should not have done something stupid like destroying the doll.
At most... I just hid the doll.
Seeing Gu Jianuo looking at him, Xu Le immediately smiled and nodded.
"Miss Gu is back. Have you finished your meal?"
"Not yet, come upstairs and take a look?"
"OK!"
Gu Jianuo slowly walked to the second floor and saw the broken window at first sight.
She glanced around, and when she saw the potted doll still on the bedside table, her expression became subtle.
"Didn't he take it? Are you so cowardly? Wasn't he the one who did what happened the night before last?"
When Gu Jianuo was confused, Wang Yueqin asked directly:
"Miss Gu, please check carefully to see if anything is missing. Be on guard day and night, but you can never guard against thieves in your own home."
When Gu Jianuo heard her ask this, he knew that she must be suspicious of Xu Le. It must be Xu Le who did it, right
“Nothing is missing, and there’s nothing important here.
Captain Wang Yueqin, let's get to the city wall as soon as possible. I'm afraid we'll have to fight side by side against the black tide this time."
"yes!"
After saying this, Gu Jianuo turned around and went downstairs.
Xu Le had expected that she would pick up the doll, find something wrong, and then get angry, but this did not happen.
While feeling strange, I also felt a little alert and enlightened.
She just glanced at the doll and didn't even pick it up.
So... as long as the doll exists, she thinks she has me in her hands? The boy is really good at pretending.
Thinking of this, Xu Le smiled slightly and followed Gu Jianuo.
"Miss Gu, are you going to the city wall area? It's very dangerous there during the black tide."
"It is precisely because of the danger that my presence is needed!"
"Ms. Gu is such a selfless person."
“It’s all of us who are selfless.”
The two smiled at each other and got on the car to the city wall area.
…
When the group arrived at the city wall area, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.
Outside the city wall, the guards had already set up a large number of fences, iron nails, and strange ashes.
Then there are layers of double rows of gun barrels with slightly unique shapes, arranged in a cross formation.
There were many guards riding on the top of the city wall, most of them holding long-barreled rifles. There were also some people in the blockhouses holding machine guns, and a few warlocks standing on the roof as a backup.
There are many shooting holes in the middle of the city wall for additional auxiliary shooting.
According to Colonel Ruan Di, the lighthouse keeper, the preparations made by the lighthouse for this black tide have increased the defense strength by more than 2-3 times compared with previous ones.
After Ruan Di introduced everyone, he looked at Gu Jianuo:
"Master Gu Jianuo, how do you feel?"
"It's as solid as a rock. With the black tide tonight, Colonel Ruan is going to become a general."
"This is just our duty, but the council mentioned before that this guard mission will have warrior strengthening potions provided by Master Gu. I wonder..."
Ruan Di looked at Gu Jianuo with a look that was even a bit flattering.
Xu Le understood that for a general standing on the front line, the medicine that Gu Jianuo provided to strengthen the body was extremely important.
Even if there are huge side effects, what kind of side effects can be compared to death
The value of life is above everything else.
As a colonel guarding the city wall, he just wanted the soldiers to survive as much as possible.
Gu Jianuo asked Anjie beside him to open the box in his hand, revealing 13 bottles of Light-Attracting Potions and 13 bottles of Colorless Potions inside.
No one knows where Gu Jianuo hid the other potions.
It seemed that these 26 were the only ones she brought tonight.
"Light Attraction Type I has the effect of strengthening the warrior's physique, and it also comes with the light power belonging to the lighthouse.
Originally, its side effects were very serious, but in the past few days, we have overcome the technical barriers. "
Gu Jianuo said, and took out another colorless injection!
"With this, you can become warriors with light!"
