On the tenth day after the explosion, the radioactive material remaining in the air finally dissipated completely. Except for Mu's family, there was no death incident, and the surrounding environment was not affected. After repeated measurements, the experts let in another batch of mice. Twenty-four hours later, they finally announced that the separation wall could be dismantled and the red alert state was lifted.
The dilapidated old Mu family house is the only evidence that the disaster really happened.
Experts agree that the nameplate should not be an R-type ore, but an undiscovered radioactive element, which is selective in its damage to the human body. The specific operation law is still unknown, unless Find more samples, do more experiments. But nothing was left at the explosion site. After the search failed, the expert team could only regretfully evacuate.
The leaders of the empire all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately announced to the entire galaxy that the crisis has been successfully resolved, and those who are good at it should do what they want.
The imperial school has returned to normal order, but the mecha manufacturing department is still suspended. Qi Ze went around the department and was familiar with the environment, so he was going to go to the Academic Affairs Office to find Yan Junyu and ask him to take him to see Mu Ran.
"Hey, is he the carbon-based person who transferred from the system? He seems to be called Qi Ze?" A female student pointed at him and whispered as he passed the public notice screen.
"It's him. His brain is so clever that he got S in all of the forty-seven cross-subject exams." Her roommate quietly gave a thumbs up.
"My God, forty-seven S's, this is the highest record. How many S's did Mu Ran take?"
"Twenty or so, he can't compare to him. But he is a carbon-based person, and his physical fitness can't keep up with the development of his spiritual power. Maybe he won't be able to hold it any longer. What a pity!"
"In this explosion, all the students who applied for the tutor Mu surnamed were bad luck, but he was a blessing in disguise. Did you hear that? Before he came to the school to report, all the tutors surnamed Mu signed a document and refused. He audited all the courses they taught. That is to say, he couldn't attend almost all the elective and compulsory courses, and he couldn't get a single point in attendance, so he could only rely on the written test scores. Think about it, attendance takes up 40% of the final grade, which means that he has to get full marks in all exams to barely pass the test, how hard is this? It’s just deliberately forcing him to drop out!”
"I also heard about it, so I hesitated at the time and didn't choose Mu surnamed tutors. I felt that their style was too domineering, and they did not have the elegance and generosity of scholars. Now that's it, more than a dozen Mu surnamed tutors have died. All the required courses and elective courses are not used, the attendance score is equal to no, it has no impact on Qi Ze at all, and it is not a big deal for us. I only feel sorry for those students who chose Mu surnamed tutor. You know what to worry about."
"Yeah, the instructors of the mecha manufacturing department are more arrogant than each other. Whoever chooses is a matter of life and cannot be changed. Especially if you change from a mentor named Mu to another mentor, you will definitely be rejected. The Mu family They are very exclusive and have always held the core technology of mecha manufacturing in their hands, so the relationship between mecha manufacturers with foreign surnames and them is very bad. In the past, when the Mu family was in power, it was naturally beneficial to learn from them, but now…” The student shook his head and sighed.
"Who dares to contact Mu's family now? I'm not afraid of being drowned by the spit of the people of the whole country. Just two of Mu Lun and Mu Ran almost blew up the Imperial City! Fortunately, the radioactive material is not like R-type ore. Devastating pollution to the environment and living things, or we'd all be corpses now."
"Yeah, I still feel scared when I think about it now." The two dared not speak any further, they were sure that there would be no classes in the near future, so they had to go to the library for self-study first.
Qi Ze also knew that he was boycotted by the joint name, but he never cared about it. The exam was as simple as eating and drinking water for him, but he lost 40% of his attendance marks. There is nothing to be nervous about. .
He just wanted to figure out one thing now - why Mu Ran survived the explosion.
The weapon value of the refiner is generally not high, but there are definitely many means to save life. There was once a master craftsman of Taixuan God who was tied to a cave mansion to refine magic weapons. In order to prevent the great power from crossing the river and demolishing bridges and killing people, he simulated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness into a state of spiritual words. One by one, they were embedded in the magic circle, and after the great master got the magic weapon, the thought of killing suddenly arose in his heart, and his spiritual sense sensed it, thus detonating the magic weapon and blowing the opponent to shreds.
If this method of indirectly controlling Lingwu is known to the outside world, the refiner will inevitably be resisted by the entire cultivation world, so it has become a secret of the Taixuan God's creation, and it is rarely used unless necessary. And Qi Ze used this secret method to put a ray of consciousness into the nameplate. As long as the person who got the nameplate has killing thoughts towards him, it will trigger the Qi Gathering Formation. If the killing thoughts are too deep, the consciousness will directly detonate the nameplate.
As for the power of the explosion, it is determined by the severity of the killing intent. The heavier the killing intent, the greater the power. Just like ten days ago, razing the Mu family's old house that covers an area of 1,000 hectares to the ground, this killing thought is really terrifying.
But Qi Ze himself can figure it out: breaking the inheritance is like killing one's parents, can you not hate it? It's a pity that they were one move short of chess and failed to seize the opportunity. But there is one thing that he still doesn't understand, even if Mu Ran is unharmed, why even the Divine Consciousness and Round Light Technique that hit him disappear
Consciousness is too weak, and will dissipate on its own when attacked; but circular light requires a specific technique to remove, or the practitioner's cultivation level exceeds the practitioner's.
Qi Ze thought about it, and always felt that this matter was strange everywhere, so he asked Yan Junyu to take him to the hospital for investigation. Ouyang Ye was a follower, so he naturally ran to join in the fun.
Mu Ran lives in the VIP ward on the top floor. This treatment is not because of his prominent family background, but because of his status as a felon. In order to quell the troubles caused by Mu Lun, the Mu family originally handed over most of the most valuable industries. Later, Mu Ran made a big explosion, which completely destroyed the foundation of the Mu family. All the direct descendants were dead, and the rest of the family property was confiscated by the court and became the public property of the empire.
The current Mu Ran can only be described in two words - ruined and ruined, and nothing.
Yan Junyu walked through the long corridor and came to a ward at the top, feeling heavier and more complicated than ever before. He has lived under the brilliance of Mu Ran since he was a child, and is used to being a shadow of him, but he never thought that one day, he would be reduced to where he is today. The name of genius is branded as a sin, the House of Salvation is denounced as a cancer, and all the merits and glory are wiped out.
Maybe the Mu family will come to this day, there are some factors that contribute to the flames, but the biggest root cause is themselves. As the old saying goes—to do injustice is to kill oneself. If Mu Shi was not so tyrannical and domineering, leaving a sip of soup for others to drink when he eats his own meat, there would be no such thing as now.
Yan Junyu shook his head with a sympathetic expression, but he never thought that the biggest cause of the Mu family's downfall was not themselves, but the young man standing beside him. If Qi Ze hadn't appeared, the Mu family might have been brilliant for many years.
"Ah? There are visitors. At this time, who else will come to see him?" Ouyang Ye just raised his hand to knock on the door, when a line of subtitles appeared on the door, telling him that there were visitors inside, please come back later. He stood on tiptoe and looked in, only to find that the glass window had been adjusted to an opaque state, so he walked to the side and waited angrily.
Yan Junyu was not in a hurry, he hadn't thought about what to say to Mu Ran. As soon as the Mu family exploded, grandfather sent troops to surround the Mu Institute, and took all the instruments and materials to Er Bo's studio, and asked him to quickly copy and study.
Yan Junyu has always understood that his friendship with Mu Ran has never been pure, and the so-called sympathy, pity, and guilt are all unnecessary. They each have their own positions, so they have to face this day. But it's easier said than done, he can't forget the friendship that the two grew up together since childhood, and he is afraid of facing Mu Ran at this moment.
"Who's in there?" Qi Ze couldn't wait.
"Dujiahe." Yan Junyu pointed to a soldier who was passing by from the smoking area, and said, "That's his guard."
"What is he doing here? Now Mu Ran can no longer provide him with advanced mechas and power stones." Ouyang Ye smiled gloatingly. As soon as the team was demolished, the backer fell. Is there anything more unfortunate than this
Yan Junyu could probably guess Du Jiahe's purpose, but he didn't say it. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the door opened. Du Jiahe wiped the water droplets from his face and said gloomily, "You are only a death row prisoner, not the young patriarch of the Mu family. The emperor and the prime minister jointly signed the document, Announcing the confiscation of all of Mu's property, what else do you have except this face, this body, this brain? Before the execution of the death penalty, my proposal is still valid, you should think about it."
Seeing Yan Junyu, he grinned, showing a malicious smile, and added, "Forgot to tell you, just as your house exploded, Yan Hongyuan's old fox sent troops to copy your research institute. It fell into Yan Zhongkui's hands."
"Get out of here!" A stern voice came from the room.
"Okay, I'll go first, and I'll see you tomorrow." Du Jiahe didn't mind, and blew a kiss into the room before leaving unhurriedly.
The door was open, but Yan Junyu didn't go in, but asked politely, "Mu Ran, can I come in?"
There was a long silence inside before a weak voice sounded, "Please come in."
I haven't seen each other for a few days, but it feels like a lifetime. Everything has changed. The two people who once matched each other are now one in the sky and the other on the ground. Mu Ran wore a ring monitor on his right hand. As long as he stepped out of the door, he would be hit by tens of millions of volts of high-voltage electricity. As Du Jiahe said, he is now just a death row prisoner awaiting trial.
"I'm sorry." Yan Junyu stood for five minutes before speaking in a low voice.
"You didn't forgive me." Mu Ran's face was bleak.
When the two were relatively speechless, Qi Ze sat down spontaneously, raised Erlang's legs, and scanned Mu Ran from top to bottom, from inside to outside. There is nothing abnormal, only the aura on his body has become more and purer. There is no doubt that Mu Ran has advanced, and now he should be a 4S spiritualist.
4S, equivalent to a monk in the Yuan Ying period, no wonder the round light spell will be automatically lifted. But that doesn't explain why he survived the explosion. With that kind of power, it is not difficult to kill one or two experts in the out-of-body stage, but he was unscathed.
It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense anyway. Qi Ze shook his head and finally looked at Mu Ran, but he didn't plan to use the round light technique again to prevent the snake from stunned. After sitting in the ward for a few minutes and being a transparent person for a few minutes, Qi Ze winked at Ouyang Ye and left first.
"How is it? Does he also have any treasures? Like the robe you made for me?" Ouyang Ye asked in a low voice.
"I don't know how he survived. I have to look at it slowly. But one thing is very clear: he has advanced, and he is the only one in the entire galaxy."
"No way?" Ouyang Ye gasped for breath, then said in horror, "No, he won't die this time! There is a law in our country that clearly stipulates that those with 4S or more mental power, physical arts, and other physiques are not allowed to die. Capable people have criminal immunity. That is to say, no matter how much trouble these people have committed, they do not have to bear legal responsibility, and the state has to fully support them."
"I remember that the Empire attaches great importance to human rights equality?" Qi Ze frowned deeply.
"That's all for ordinary people, how can you take it seriously." Ouyang Ye explained, "Our country has existed since the end of the century, when the survival of human beings depended on the strong, so they were given a lot of privileges. . Later, I moved to the Black Eye Galaxy, and the living environment did not improve much, and those privileges have been retained. It is just that the 4S-level powerhouse has not appeared for a long time, and some unequal legal terms have become decorations. Many people Probably forgot."
Ouyang Ye clenched Feng Lin Huo Hai and said worriedly, "As long as Mu Ran announces his strength, the empire will definitely protect him. Look at him, the people hate him to death now, and they will praise him to the sky again soon. ."
"People are fickle and forgetful," Qi Ze said lightly, "don't worry about him for now, you can cultivate well. If he doesn't come to provoke me, it's over. If he insists on blocking my way, I won't either. Embarrassment. When it comes to the means of killing, I will only be more than him, not less than him."
Ouyang Ye still believed in this point, he immediately calmed down and waved his hand, "Then let's go back, you refine the weapon, I'll practice the sword."
"Wait for Yan Junyu." Qi Ze stood at the door and didn't move.
"What are you waiting for, the young couple are complaining to each other." As soon as Ouyang Ye finished speaking, Yan Junyu came out and stabbed him with cold eyes.
"Just saying goodbye." Yan Junyu opened the car door for the young man and explained in a low voice, "It's a friend after all, so I can't help but see him off."
Qi Ze pointedly said, "He's fine, you don't need to send him."
Yan Junyu only thought he was jealous, but he didn't even think about it deeply, but rubbed his dark hair helplessly.
---
Three days later, in the dock of the Supreme Court, in front of hundreds of cameras, Mu Ran announced the news of his advanced 4S, and immediately took a mental test, the result shocked the world.
Under pressure from all parties, the court had to declare Mu Ran innocent and return a property to him. Mu Ran had already thought of a way out, and the next day he took up his post at the Imperial Academy as an honorary tutor of the Mecha Manufacturing Department. The courses he taught covered more than a dozen subjects, including the core technology of super mechas.
The information in the research institute is all recorded in his mind. Rather than let the Yan family monopolize it, it is better for him to publicize it himself, and he can form a good relationship. How Qi Ze dealt with the Mu family, he dealt with the Yan family. In the end, he found that this method was very useful. At least he felt relieved when he saw other people slumped.
After going through a big change, he slowly came to understand that the Mu family would fall down and be pushed by everyone because the food was too ugly. From low-level mechas to super-power mechas, whether it is high-end or low-end technology, they are all held by the Mu family, which simply leaves others with nowhere to go. In this case, how can others not hate? The hatred grew deeper and deeper, and one day it broke out.
Now Mu Ran looks good, but no one knows how bloody the wound in his heart is. In the middle of the night, when he closed his eyes, the nameplate flashing with cold light would appear in his mind. He just took it in his hand, and before he could take a closer look, the overwhelming fire devoured everything, father, mother, clan... every undead who died because of him screamed, roared, wailed in his ear, so tragic , so desperate.
He couldn't close his eyes all night long. If it wasn't for the support of his super-high mental strength, if it wasn't for the urgent desire for revenge, he would have collapsed long ago.
That night, in the dead of night, he lay on the bed with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling out of focus. Suddenly, the intellectual brain on his wrist shook, and he quickly opened it to check, his face couldn't help but turn cold.
"I finally parsed the picture you scanned. The inside of the nameplate was infused with a trace of spiritual power, and the technique was very superb. I could only see a little prototype, but could not fully understand it. If the real thing is still there, I may be able to learn from it. Such a tactic, what a pity!" This line of words appeared on the chat software.
"A trace of mental power can produce such a violent explosion?" Mu Ran was a little unbelievable.
"You know the butterfly effect, right? Butterflies just need to flap their wings to trigger a series of chain reactions. And this trace of spiritual power is the butterfly wing, and those who leave it know not only what kind of chain reactions it will have, but also What are the consequences? To put it simply, he had long expected that the nameplate would fall into your hands, and that it would explode. He single-handedly planned the destruction of the Mu family." The other side then pressed, "Such a terrifying opponent, You won't have the slightest impression. Tell me who it is!"
"I really don't know! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Mu Ran shivered and laid down countless sorrys. He regretted that he was young and frivolous, that he was not smooth enough, and that he didn't even know when he had offended people.
"Forget it, things have happened, and everything is empty. You do your experiment, and I will find the person. Look at this picture, can you find anything?"
A scan was sent over there, which was taken by Mu Ran on the night of the explosion. The nameplate was lying quietly on the black flannel. The workmanship was rough and the texture was ordinary. Lines form, but one character after another.
Mu Ran looked at it carefully for a long time, and said helplessly, "The picture is too blurry and the handwriting is too small, I really can't see it clearly."
"That's not handwriting, but spiritual power. You can't think of it, right? Someone can condense spiritual power into an entity and create a power that is a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times stronger than himself. Even if this person is not a 4S-level spiritual power He is far superior to you. His control of spiritual power has reached the level of perfection. It's a pity that the picture is too blurry, I can only deal with it to this extent, if I can read even a word, I will The research is also groundbreaking."
Mu Ran's face became extremely ugly.
He noticed his strangeness there and encouraged, "Did you see it? Your enemy is so powerful, so you should grow up quickly. I don't have much time to accompany you."
"I won't slack off." Mu Ran pressed down word by word.
There was no reply for a long time, and the light on the screen turned off after a while. Mu Ran curled up in the darkness, shaking uncontrollably before falling into a light sleep. He seemed to have nightmares, struggling with terror and despair all night.
At the same time, Qi Ze was leaving a message to Erebus, "Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, 1001 of the Shengtang Club."
Erebus immediately responded with two words: "Okay." Then he added, "What preparations are you going to make? Or do you have any special requests?"
"Just bring the human body that needs to be repaired."
"What about the price?" Erebus was very worried, for fear that something would suddenly happen to this business. He was not afraid of not being able to pay, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see the master himself.
price? Qi Ze scratched the tip of his nose, feeling that this question was really difficult to answer. He is not very clear about the prices of the Black Eye Galaxy. Some things are very worthless in his opinion, but they can be sold for sky-high prices, and some things are obviously very precious, but the prices are low. It makes it difficult for him to grasp the scale in terms of pricing.
"I'll take a look at your situation first," he said vaguely.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Erebus didn't dare to ask any more questions, and turned off the computer after the master's avatar went out. But as soon as he touched the mouse, there was a thick smoke from the computer screen, and sporadic flames splashed everywhere.
He seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of sudden situation. He unplugged the power cord calmly, took out a small fire extinguisher from the dark compartment under the wheelchair, and sprayed it at the computer. A few minutes later, the flames were extinguished, A Kui pushed the door open, cleaned up the mess, installed a new computer, and helped the boss go to bed.
"I'm going out tomorrow. You drive out that Nebula MR9. Check the engine, autopilot system, etc., don't make any problems halfway. This meeting is very important, and I can't be late." Erebus spoke cautiously.
There was a hint of excitement in A Kui's eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Master has contacted you?"
"Well. Room 1001 of the Shengtang Club, tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon." Erebus lay on the soft pillow and sighed in relief. He was finally able to get a good night's sleep tonight, and nothing was more uplifting than "hope."
