It wasn't until dawn when the sun came out that the people who had been waiting outside for the whole night returned to the black building of the Committee of Order like nighthawks returning to their nest. One by one, they returned to their rooms to catch up on sleep. They slept until noon, when everyone woke up again and ate in the dining hall. Meeting …
For the past few days, Xia Pingan had only met everyone in the cafeteria during lunch time. Most of the time, he was either practicing shooting at the shooting range or reading information and documents in the reference room. Every day, his time was quite fulfilling.
Xia Pingan also knew what the others were doing at night, but he couldn't help at all, so he could only stay at the headquarters in the city.
"Get ready. The provincial inspector will come this afternoon. After talking to you, you can prepare to fuse with the Divine Fire Realm Bead!" As soon as Mo Yanshao spoke, everyone in the dining hall looked at Xia Pingan's face.
Xia Pingan nodded. "It doesn't matter if I fail, right?"
"It doesn't matter. In fact, it's normal to fail when fusing with the Realm Bead. As an awakened one, less than one in fifty can successfully fuse with three Foundation Realm Beads and become a summoner. But even if you can fuse with one or two beads, there are still benefits …" Mo Yanshao said.
"Hahaha, kid, do your best!" Li Yunzhou patted Xia Pingan's shoulder casually as if he had been there before. "When you become a summoner, you can call me senior!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, senior. I'll work hard!" Xia Pingan smiled.
…
At one o 'clock in the afternoon, a black car drove through the Committee of Order's gate and stopped in front of the black building.
A driver got out of the car first, then opened the back door of the black car.
An elegant old lady with silver hair, wearing a light green suit, a light green hat decorated with beautiful feathers, and a dark blue handbag, got out of the car.
It wasn't clear whether the old lady was seventy or eighty years old, but her complexion was very good. Her back was straight, her eyes were bright, and her face was smooth and didn't seem to have many wrinkles.
The provincial inspector was actually such a lovely and elegant old lady?
Xia Pingan was slightly taken aback. Young Master Mo Yan, who was beside him, had already taken large strides forward. A careful smile appeared on his face. "Madam Qian, I didn't expect you to come personally this time. Was the journey smooth?"
"It's okay. I'm old now, so I can only travel around the province. If it's too far away …" The old lady said with a smile. "I heard that you've been leading people to light the lanterns?" “
"En, Xianghe City isn't too peaceful these few days. I can only work a little harder!" As Young Master Mo Yan spoke, he pointed at Xia Pingan. "This is Xia Pingan. Last time, he chased after the Devil Rats and participated in the fire rescue. “
"Greetings, Mrs. Qian!" Xia Pingan took a step forward.
The old lady's gaze fell on Xia Pingan. She looked at Xia Pingan from head to toe and smiled. "What a beautiful young man …" After that, she directly said to Mo Yanshao, "Let's not waste any more time. Let's get started!" “
"It's ready. Mrs. Qian, please …"
…
The so-called room was a tea room in the building.
There was only Xia Pingan and the old lady in the tea room.
The old lady represented the Yi Zhou Province's Committee of Order to do a final inspection of Xia Pingan, and to make a final confirmation of Xia Pingan's qualifications to fuse with the realm pearl.
Although it was called an inspection, it was actually a conversation.
Xia Pingan thought that this kind of conversation would be very serious, and that the topic would not be pleasant. He thought that the person who came would be a serious and rigid middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, after entering the tea room, the old lady did not ask any strange questions. Instead, she chatted with Xia Pingan about some relaxing topics while drinking tea. Some of the topics were even a little off-topic, such as cooking, movies, flowers, plants, small animals, scenery, travel, gossip in the entertainment circle, Xia Pingan's sister, Xia Ning, and how Xia Pingan used balloons to make small animals …
The old lady was talkative, humorous, and gentle. The two of them unknowingly chatted for more than half an hour.
After finishing the pot of tea, the old lady ended the conversation.
"Young man, that's all for now. I'm leaving. It was nice chatting with you. Let's talk again in the future. Prepare to fuse with the Divine Fire Realm Pearl. I think you can succeed!"
It was a bit too childish to end it like this!
This kind of inspection was completely unnecessary!
Xia Pingan was a little confused, but he still nodded politely. "Thank you. I'll try my best!"
The old lady picked up her handbag, stood up, and walked to the door. When she was about to open the door, she suddenly turned around, looked into Xia Pingan's eyes, and asked, "You killed those people one by one. That person even begged you in the bathtub. Have you ever regretted it?"
With this sentence, the relaxed atmosphere in the room disappeared in an instant. Time seemed to have stopped.
The old lady's bright eyes hid an irresistible sharpness at this moment.
Cold sweat covered Xia Pingan's back. Xia Pingan suddenly felt that he was as transparent as glass in front of this old lady.
Only after a few seconds, Xia Pingan revealed a faint smile as he calmly faced the old lady's eyes. "Everyone has to pay a price for everything they do. They could fool and trample on the law, but they could not fool and trample on the justice and retribution. I'm their law. I'm willing to bear any consequences. The only thing I regret is that I was not capable enough back then. Therefore, I let those people live a few more days and wasted some of the world's food. It won't happen again in the future. Mrs. Qian, you can send someone to take me away now. I'll wait here!"
"Let bygones be bygones. The law is the principle of the world. However, there are many times in this world where there is no reason to talk about. Simple reason is based on the fist. Complicated reason is based on the human heart. You only used complicated means to talk about simple reason with them. I'm just an old woman. I can't do so much. Those are the matters of the police. What I can do is to choose the right person to light the lantern!"
The old lady's bright eyes instantly retracted and became gentle again. She smiled. "What's wrong, young man? Do you want an old lady like me to go downstairs alone?"
Xia Pingan took a deep breath. "I'll send you off!"
Xia Pingan and Mo Yanshao, who was waiting at the door, sent the old lady downstairs. They watched as the old lady got into the car. The chauffeur drove the old lady away from the Committee of Order.
"Madam Qian never takes more than five minutes to inspect a newcomer. Today, she actually drank tea with you for more than half an hour?" Mo Yanshao touched his chin and looked at Xia Pingan in surprise.
"Is Madam Qian also a summoner?" Xia Pingan asked.
"No, Madam Qian is an awakened one. She is the only awakened one in the entire Yizhou province who has mastered the B-level mind-reading ability …"
Xia Pingan, who had experienced the awakening ability test, suddenly understood.
B-level?
No wonder she was so abnormal!
"The Divine Fire Realm Bead is already in Cultivation Room 999. You can fuse with it now!" “
…
Two minutes later, Xia Pingan arrived at the room 999 on the ninth floor of the building. He pushed open the door, walked in, and closed the door.
There were no windows in the room. There was only natural light at the top of the room, which was guided into the room by the complex optical transmission system in the building.
The room was clean, just like a yoga room. A table was placed in the middle of the room. There was a purple wooden box on the table and a meditation cushion on the ground beside the table.
Xia Pingan came to the table and sat down cross-legged. He knew that there was a Divine Fire Realm Bead in the box. However, he was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he first recalled what he knew and the knowledge about Realm Beads that he had learned here in the past few days.
The abilities of all the summoners in this world came from Realm Beads.
Realm Beads came in all shapes and sizes. Different Realm Beads brought different abilities to the summoner. These Realm Beads came from the otherworld creatures that invaded the space.
Legend had it that the Realm Beads had Divine Text that no one could understand. The Divine Text was a mysterious symbol, which was the key to distinguishing different Realm Beads.
In order to become a summoner, one must complete the fusion of three Realm Beads.
These three Realm Beads were the Divine Fire Realm Bead, the Divine Altar Realm Bead, and the Deity Realm Bead. Only those who completely fused these three Realm Beads could become a real summoner. If any of these three Realm Beads failed to fuse, that person would lose the qualification to become a summoner forever.
However, even if one did not become a summoner, as long as one or two Realm Beads could fuse, there would be many benefits. If the fusion was successful, one would have the opportunity to be imbued with divine power.
Today, he was going to fuse the first Realm Bead, the Divine Fire Realm Bead.
A person only had one chance to fuse the same type of Realm Bead. It was impossible to fuse it a second time.
Fusing the Realm Beads had the Mystery of Separation. This Mystery of Separation was like the Mystery of Separation after the reincarnation of living creatures in the legends. As soon as they were in their mother's womb, they would forget about their previous life. It was the same for fusing the Realm Beads. When a person fused with the Realm Beads and woke up, they would completely forget what happened after the fusion. No matter what method they used, they would not be able to remember.
Those who succeeded in fusing the Realm Beads would master all kinds of secret methods and summoning positions provided by the Realm Beads. There were two results of failure. One was that they would live, and the other was that they would explode and die. The final result of exploding one's head was very terrifying. This was also the origin of the summoners' tradition of tattoos. Because the corpse's head was gone, if a summoner's head exploded while fusing with the Realm Beads, then the tattoos on his body would allow others to identify him.
Due to the existence of the Mystery of Separation, nobody knew what would happen after fusing with the Realm Beads. There was no guidance or help. One could only rely on himself.
However, Xia Pingan saw some records in the documents of the Order Clerks Union. In history, some powerful summoners remembered some things after fusing with the Realm Bead and left behind some words. From those words, it could be seen that after fusing with the Realm Bead, they would enter a mysterious world, just like experiencing a realistic dream. They would experience some special things, and a Realm Bead seemed to be a mysterious mission …
Xia Pingan gradually calmed down after recalling all the knowledge about the fusion of realm pearls in his mind. He took a deep breath and opened the box in front of him with a heart that was about to explode with curiosity.
A bead slightly bigger than a ping-pong ball and giving off a mysterious glow was lying in the box covered with dark green velvet.
That Realm Bead seemed to be made of colored glass and was translucent. Clouds and mist were rolling inside the Realm Bead, flickering with a layer of dark red brilliance as if a flame was faintly penetrating through the bead.
Some pale golden immortal characters that could only be understood by summoners in this world were looming in the brilliance of the Realm Bead.
At the sight of the immortal characters inside the Realm Bead, Xia Pingan's eyes widened at once. His heart pounded fiercely as he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
The history of this world was completely different from that of Xia Pingan. The characters of Huaxia in this world were based on another hieroglyphic writing system. In Xia Pingan's memory, the characters of Huaxia in this world were a bit similar to a variant of the "Nice" writing system that had been passed down from ancient times by the Sani people of Yi ethnic group on Earth.
When Xia Pingan studied the history and culture of ethnic minorities in China, he found that the "Nice" writing system passed down from ancient times by the Sani people of Yunnan was very interesting. The "Nice" writing system passed down by the Sani people had nearly 6,000 characters. After thousands of years, it still maintained the original appearance of the most ancient characters. Compared with the symbols carved on the colored pottery unearthed in Banpo, Xi 'an, more than 75% of the characters were similar to the symbols carved on the hilt-shaped stone ornaments "Lonely Soul in the Wilderness" in the ruins of Wuyang County, Henan Province. Some characters were even similar to Khitan language.
The characters of Huaxia in this world were also similar to "Nice".
Therefore, no one could understand the mysterious immortal characters in the Realm Bead. Even if they could, no one would know the meaning of the immortal characters. Because the history and legends of this world were completely different from those of Earth after Goddess Nüwa created humans.
However, in Xia Pingan's eyes, the immortal characters in the Realm Bead that no one could understand were just three strokes of Xiaozhuan written from top to bottom.
