In the snowy mountain base.
Irin's unusual diligence was recognized by everyone.
This was the work of the guild leader himself.
Which guild could produce such a hardworking guild leader?
For a while, Irin's reputation as "Model Worker Lin" spread far and wide.
The location where Irin was digging attracted hundreds of members to watch.
"The fiftieth spot."
It was already the twenty-third day since Irin joined the construction team.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and crawled out of the cave with his head and face covered in dust. He casually took out a scribbled drawing from the storage dimension and made a conspicuous "X" on one of the spots.
"What the hell are you doing? Mining gold? "
Molly was also among the onlookers.
She knew that Irin could not be so hardworking.
According to her understanding of Irin, Irin must have another purpose for doing this.
"Hehe, it's more fun than mining."
Yi Lin smiled and answered vaguely. He grabbed the glass of melted snow from Mo Li and gulped it down in big gulps. Wiping his mouth, he asked curiously, "What brings you here today? Have you finished piecing together the No.0 machine?"
"Yes, it's progressing well. You should be able to see me wearing a high-heeled mech soon!"
Molly proudly made a "V" victory sign to Irin … So old-fashioned.
Just half a month ago, the nuclear power generation was successfully activated. Everyone was overjoyed. The assembly line that Molly had been looking forward to finally began to operate and build every part of Machine Zero.
Because it was still a prototype, the details of the mold needed to be adjusted while the assembly line was being built. The speed of the assembly line could not be increased.
Irin took off his hat and gloves.
He followed Molly and walked towards the base dormitory.
The two of them walked side by side. The atmosphere was a little strange, and the silence was a little awkward.
"How's Yiyi's eyes recovering?"
Not long after returning from Haiting City.
In the end, Molly couldn't hide it any longer and told Irin that Ling Yiyi had recovered part of her vision.
The first thought that came to Irin's mind when he heard the news was not joy or shock, but … confusion.
At that time, he asked Mo Li with a frown on his forehead, just what kind of treatment did she use to help Ling Yiyi regain her vision.
Molly answered hesitantly. From time to time, she would do eye exercises for Ling Yiyi.
It was a classic that would be passed down forever.
Irin was silent at this answer.
After checking on Ling Yiyi, he found that she had regained part of her vision. After the examination, her current vision was equivalent to that of an amblyopic patient with extreme myopia and severe astigmatism. For ordinary people, this kind of vision was no different from being blind. But for Ling Yiyi, it was another kind of "recovery".
Irin stood two meters away from Ling Yiyi. Ling Yiyi could barely make out the outline of Irin's face and the color of his clothes.
Under normal circumstances, Irin should be happy that Ling Yiyi had recovered her vision.
But what made him confused was why it had to be at this time?
Of all times, he had to regain his sight at this moment?
Why?
Irin was very puzzled.
But after observing for a while and chatting with Ling Yiyi, Irin didn't find anything strange. He could only leave it at that.
Irin found Ling Yiyi.
The three of them had a harmonious lunch.
Irin suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked why Molly suddenly came to find him. So he skillfully cooked the hot pot seasoning and asked, "Oh right, why did you come to find me?"
Molly had just picked up a piece of beef and threw it into the pot. Just as she was eating happily, Irin's question seemed to attack her soul. She froze on the spot, her chopsticks stuck in front of her, motionless.
After being silent for a while, Molly said, "… I remember now. Fatso was shouting for help at the base …"
"Ah?"
It was all because Irin's food was too delicious.
Molly forgot about the important matter.
When Irin arrived at the dormitory area, he found that there were many people gathered there.
Li Changge, Oda Wu, Xu Anjing, Li Xiuqi, and the others were all there, comforting the anxious Li Erpang.
Li Erpang was as anxious as a fat ant on a hot pot. He paced back and forth, not able to rest for even a moment.
Seeing that Irin had finally arrived, Li Xiuqi walked over. "President, you're finally here."
"Cough cough, I was busy with something just now." Irin glanced at Li Erpang and replied with a bit of a guilty conscience. Then he walked in front of the anxious Li Erpang and asked him why he was shouting for help.
Li Erpang was in a hurry and spoke incoherently. But after Irin sorted out Li Erpang's words, he finally understood the cause and effect.
It turned out that this time, Li Erpang and Su Xiaosu didn't call anyone else and entered the trial alone.
The husband and wife worked together and killed everyone else in the trial, successfully passing the trial.
But after the two left the trial, Su Xiaosu said that she was feeling a bit unwell.
Li Erpang thought that Su Xiaosu's period had come.
Although she didn't look like it, she was still a living woman. Having a period or something like that was a very normal physiological phenomenon. So Li Erpang didn't mind and hummed a little tune as he went to take a bath.
But he didn't expect that after Li Erpang squatted in a hole, read a novel, and came out of the bath, after half an hour, the scene that he saw made him dumbfounded.
Su Xiaosu was abnormal.
She had turned into a cocoon.
Thus, Fatty Li, who was at a loss, shouted for help.
"Did you go in to see?"
Irin calmly nodded and asked the others.
Oda Wu hugged her sword and stood to the side. She pointed a finger at little Fatso and said, "He won't let me in."
"Pei! Do you think I'm stupid enough to let you in! "
Li Erpang seemed to be really anxious. He didn't care if this sentence would anger Oda Wu. He leaned over to Irin's ear and said with a sad face, "I'm afraid that your Xiao Wu will be interested and chop Su Ge up like a monster in the trial!"
Although this was a private conversation between him and Yi Lin, there was no one present who hadn't gone through eight or ten trials to strengthen themselves. Their ears were quite sharp, and this private conversation was quite lonely.
Oda Wu lowered her head and didn't say a word. She didn't deny it, and her ears were slightly red.
Actually,
Li Erpang looked silly, but he was very smart.
If he didn't add the word "your" in that sentence, Oda Wu might really hold a grudge.
If he added a little rhetoric, the meaning would be completely different.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Irin waved his hand and used the president's authority to open the door to Li Erpang and Su Xiaosu's room.
The moment the door opened, a bright red light rushed out.
The entire room was filled with thick ropes of flesh.
The ropes of flesh crisscrossed like a spider's web and were stuck to the walls of the room. These ropes of flesh were like blood vessels that were slowly pulsating in a certain rhythm. And in the middle of the room, there was an oval-shaped flesh cocoon about two meters in diameter. It was supported by countless ropes of flesh and was suspended in the middle of the room.
This strange scene made everyone outside the room subconsciously hold their breaths. It was hard to imagine what had happened in the room that made it so intense.
After a while, everyone present looked at Li Erpang with strange gazes.
Xu Anjing couldn't help but ask, "What did you do?"
"It's none of my business! I just squatted in a hole and took a bath! Did I do anything wrong? "
Li Erpang angrily retorted.
Irin quietly looked at the flesh cocoon and stood at the door of the room for a full minute. Then he turned around and returned to Li Erpang's side. He sighed heavily and patted Li Erpang's shoulder. "I think I know what happened."
"What?" Li Erpang opened his eyes wide.
"You should be mentally prepared. I hope you … can be strong and bear the terrible consequences."
Irin shook his head and sighed. What he said was equivalent to not saying anything. He left just like that.
"Fuck? Is this real? "
Plop.
The stunned Li Erpang knelt on the snow and was speechless for a long time.
"Disperse, disperse. Let the young master be alone."
Li Xiuqi hurriedly evacuated the crowd and immediately informed Li Kai, who was far away in Haiting City, of this bad news.
In order to let Li Erpang mourn in peace.
Li Xiuqi specially set up a cordon around this area.
Unrelated people were not allowed to enter.
After everyone had left.
Xu Anjing was ready to pull Li Changge away.
But she found that Li Changge had a faint pretentious smile on his face, without the slightest sadness. She immediately pinched Li Changge's arm several times until it bled.
"Why aren't you leaving? Why are you in a daze? Is this a place for you to act pretentious? "
Xu Anjing understood Li Changge very well.
When it was time to act pretentious, he would not hesitate at all.
When it was not time to act pretentious, he liked to act pretentiously. It was very annoying.
Li Changge put on a fake smile and rubbed his bleeding arm. He shook his head and forced a smile. "Hey, I don't know what the president is thinking."
"What?" Xu Anjing did not understand.
"Forget it. You'll know later. Let's just quietly watch the show."
Li Changge raised his index finger and followed Xu Anjing out of the place.
After a while.
The Li couple spent a certain amount of crystals and arrived at the snow mountain station through the preset transmission array.
"I'm fat!"
Mrs. Li looked at Li Erpang's heartbroken appearance and cried sadly. Without saying anything, she ran forward to comfort her good son.
Li Kai looked at the cocoon in the room and frowned. Without saying a word, he found Irin in the station.
Without waiting for Li Kai to speak, Irin took the initiative to ask, "The thing I asked you to investigate, how is it going?"
Li Kai was stunned.
He did not expect Irin to not mention Su Xiaosu, but that thing. After a moment of silence, Li Kai replied, "Just as the president 'speculated', I spread the intelligence network and received reliable news. Almost at the same time as what the president said, in the southern border of our country, in Africa, in the Inca Empire, and in the southwest of Europe, strange phenomena appeared."
As Li Kai spoke, he glanced at Irin's calm expression and continued, "Almost at the same time, four pillars of light fell from the sky. But the phenomenon lasted for a short time. Some busybodies went to the place where the phenomenon occurred to check it out. "
"In Europe, where the silver pillar of light was located, the town of Wuke was attacked by some mysterious force. The entire basin was divided into two, and there were countless casualties."
"In America, in the unofficial station of All Gods Temple, their president 'King Solomon' mysteriously disappeared."
Hearing this, Irin interrupted Li Kai and asked, "King Solomon?"
Li Kai nodded, "It's the former president of All Gods Temple. His full name is' Thomson D. Solomon '. Well, now, All Gods Temple is in chaos because of the president's disappearance. According to unreliable sources, Thomson D. Solomon is in some people's friend list … He went offline. As for the specific situation, because it's too far away, I can't get more detailed information. But it's possible that he died in the trial. "
Irin chuckled, "That's enough, continue."
"In the southern border of our country, the place where the black pillar of light landed was a deserted village. I sent people to investigate the scene, but they didn't find any useful information."
"Finally, the place where the green pillar of light landed in Africa was a sub-stronghold of the mysterious Croak Tribe. It's said that before the pillar of light landed, there were thousands of apostles there. Among them, there was no lack of experienced apostles, but it's said that they all died. Their deaths … were very tragic. And because of this, the Croak Tribe's ranking dropped out of the top 50 in the world overnight. It's quite tragic. "
Phew …
Irin let out a long breath and fell into silence.
Li Kai wanted to say something but stopped.
The two of them stood at the side. Not far away, Li Erpang and his mother were hugging each other and crying. No one knew what they were crying about.
In this strange atmosphere, Li Kai finally couldn't help but ask, "President, do you have something … you want to say?"
Irin glanced at Li Kai and smiled faintly, "What you want to ask is, do I have something important to hide from you?"
"…"
Irin continued, "If this is the question, I can answer you … Yes. I have a big secret. But this secret, you don't need to know. I won't harm you. " After saying this, Irin raised his head and looked at the clear sky above the snowy plains. He squinted his eyes and his gaze gradually drifted away, "Maybe one day, I will become everyone's enemy. But no matter what, please remember that I will definitely stand on 'your' side. "
Li Kai was trying to guess the meaning behind Irin's words.
As a senior politician, this was a basic skill.
He asked tentatively, "President, you want to …?" Li Kai made a strange hand gesture.
Irin didn't understand the meaning behind Li Kai's hand gesture.
But he understood what Li Kai meant.
Irin smiled and shook his head, "When your vision is no longer limited to the battles between humans, I will tell you."
"Alright."
Li Kai nodded helplessly.
The feeling Irin gave him was getting stranger and stranger.
It wasn't accurate to say that he was strange. It should be said that he was getting deeper.
Not long ago, Li Kai could still guess what Irin was thinking. But since Irin came back from the Tower of War server, Li Kai faintly sensed that Irin had some unknown thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't guess, understand, and discern. It was as if he was covered with a layer of hazy mist, which made Li Kai wary.
In the end, Li Kai came to a conclusion that wasn't a conclusion.
It seemed that the president was getting better at pretending.
After discussing the situation.
Li Kai changed the topic.
He looked at Mrs. Li who was hugging his wife and crying. He was a little speechless.
"President, what did you say to my stupid son to make him misunderstand like this?"
Irin didn't answer.
His original words were indeed a little misleading.
But Irin wasn't just playing a prank.
He looked at the cocoon in the room and asked with a smile, "Then in your opinion, what is Su Xiaosu's situation like?"
"Breakthrough."
"Yes, breakthrough. But why do you have to use such a strange method? " Irin looked at Li Kai, "I know that your Li family has always had difficulties in childbirth. In terms of choosing a daughter-in-law, you don't care about her family background or appearance. But have you ever thought that even if you don't mind, Su Xiaosu herself might mind? "
Li Kai was stunned at first, then he lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
"From what I know, there is a way to breakthrough in the strength side, which is mutation. But this kind of mutation mostly changes the body's structure, organs, and form to achieve the effect of breaking through human limits. But no matter how it changes, it can't be separated from the most basic principle … and that is the apostle's own desire. "
Li Kai was silent.
Irin continued, "Some apostles want to fly, so when they breakthrough, they grow a pair of wings. Some apostles want to become stronger, so they evolve into a bigger and stronger form. This is all the apostle's own desire to evolve. "
After Irin finished speaking, he sighed lightly. After a bit of foreshadowing, he said his own thoughts, "Although she doesn't look like it, she is still a woman. She doesn't look like it on the surface, but she has always hated herself in the depths of her heart. This mentality allowed her to use this method to achieve her current form after meeting certain conditions. "
Li Kai opened his mouth.
Irin looked at the crying Li Erpang and said softly, "So, she wants to break out of the cocoon and be reborn."
