Chapter 96

"Who else can it be if it's not me?" Yilin smiled and walked forward.

Ling Yiyi.

Yilin silently read out the girl's name in her heart.

"Sit down."

The girl smiled, moved her body to the side, patted the bench beside her, and motioned for Yilin to sit down.

Yilin didn't refuse and sat side by side with the girl.

But their shoulders kept a distance of about 20 centimeters.

After Yilin sat down, he quietly looked ahead and didn't speak.

"Why did you lie to the Dean again? You don't fit in with me?"

Ling Yiyi's tone was a little complaining.

"Ha ha."

Yilin smiled and didn't explain too much.

"You guy..." seeing that Yilin didn't explain, Ling Yiyi didn't ask much.

Elaine closed her eyes.

Enjoy a rare moment of peace.

Quiet as water.

As if by her side, all troubles, all pain, all memories will be diluted by the tranquility around her, and everything will become irrelevant.

As long as she's here.

everything goes well.

"You..."

Ling Yiyi suddenly turned her head and stared at Yilin: "you seem a little different."

Yilin's fingers trembled slightly. Although he knew that Ling Yiyi couldn't see, he didn't know why. Facing her eyes, Yilin always had the illusion of being seen through her mind and looked away without trace: "what's different?"

Ling Yiyi tilted her head and a wisp of soft bangs slipped: "well... I can't tell. I feel that your taste has become a little different."

Taste?

Yilin's face changed slightly.

He knew that Ling Yiyi suffered from "optic atrophy" many years ago. After that, her vision decreased and she finally became completely blind.

But at the same time, her sense of smell and hearing are much sharper than ordinary people. This taste

Is there still a smell of blood on him?

Before Yi Lin went out this morning, he rubbed it hard.

There should be no smell of blood.

"You have a cold." Yilin's tone was firm.

"Bah, you just catch a cold." Ling Yiyi spat lightly, but she didn't dwell on the matter for too long. She asked softly, "you should have finished the 'retest'? How are your grades? Which university are you going to apply for... Is it far from here?"

"Well, fortunately, I haven't planned yet."

"Haven't you been doing anything lately?"

Yilin said with a smile, "no, everything is normal."

"Really?" Ling Yiyi lowers her head.

"Yes." Yilin's tone was affirmative.

"You..." Ling Yiyi suddenly whispered, "you shouldn't have a girlfriend?"

Yilin was stunned when he heard the speech.

Ling Yi chuckled and continued, "you have perfume on you."

“！”

Yilin quickly took up his clothes and smelled it carefully.

"No..."

He just wanted to deny it, but the next moment, he lost his smile. Only then did he understand that Ling Yiyi was testing him.

"That's why I said, I don't fit in with your character."

Ling Yiyi's tone was a little more surprised: "you really have a girlfriend? Are you beautiful?"

"Well, I'm not. But I've made a friend, um, a very good friend."

"Really?" Ling Yiyi smiled: "give me a chance to meet you? Anyway, we've known each other for years, haven't we? Let me help you check it out?"

"I said I wasn't a girlfriend..." Yilin argued.

"Hee hee..." Ling Yiyi suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled.

His eyes are curved, like two crescent moons.

"Well, I believe you."

Yilin shrugged helplessly: "OK, nothing. I'll go first."

"OK."

Ling Yiyi nodded and didn't say much. She just put on her headphones again, closed her eyes and smiled quietly.

Yilin looked calm and walked a distance forward.

Suddenly, Yilin turned around and stared at the quiet figure in the corner of the yard across a gorgeous sun.

At this glance, it seems to travel through time and space.

The shadow in the memory quietly overlaps with the quiet shadow not far away.

“……”

Soon, Yilin took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no fluctuation in Yi Lin's eyes, which was as calm as water.

Yilin comes to Ling Wuyan.

"Her name is Ling Yiyi. Protect her at all costs. But don't let her know your existence."

Ling?

Ling Wuyan nodded.

In an instant, he seemed to understand everything.

And... The meaning of his survival.

……

……

Since that day, I inadvertently used my motivation.

When Yilin returned home, he began to test his limit of "reading power".

Yilin is very clear that there are "limits" in these three main attributes, whether strength, agility or spirit.

This so-called limit seems to be the limit of human life.

But since ancient times, there have always been many "superhumans" that cannot be explained by human science.

In Yilin's view, the "superhuman" who has left a strong pen and ink in history all the time is nothing more than breaking through the "limit" in some way, reaching a new realm and becoming an existence beyond ordinary people.

Arrive... Extraordinary.

This so-called "limit" is called "lock" in the circle of apostles.

After attribute quantification, the recognized "lock" is 10 points.

Whether apostles or ordinary people, there is a "lock".

Only by unlocking the "lock" can we break through the limits of mankind and achieve transcendence.

Once you reach the extraordinary, your ability will be far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In the ghost fog mountain trial, whether the strength of Zhitian dance at last or the speed of winmani before "ghost", although terrible, it is not so terrible as to be incomprehensible.

What they reach is the "limit" of mankind.

There are traces to follow and reasons to follow.

But in that trial, Yilin easily added her spiritual attribute to more than 10 points, showing a terrible reading power. She threw her hands and feet, and the mountains fell apart. No wonder wenmanny would shout "cheating".

Yilin in that state is really no different from "cheating".

After the ghost fog mountain trial, without the ghost spirit buff, although the attribute value of Yilin returned to normal.

But the spirit lock was accidentally loosened, and Yilin regained control of the power of "reading power".

The ability that should have been mastered after breaking through the spiritual lock is now displayed in advance.

It's incredible, but anyway, it's not a bad thing.

Yilin sat on the sofa, her heart moved, and the coffee cup floated up.

Then he stretched out his "tentacles" and tried to tear open a packet of instant coffee to pour into the cup.

Hiss——

All the coffee powder was sprinkled on the ground.

"Sure enough, it's still not that easy?"

……

……

Ten days passed in the twinkling of an eye.

In Erin's house.

Many clothes float silently in the room, and then like countless invisible hands, they fold quickly in mid air, and then fold them together orderly.

Yilin opened his eyes and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"13 seconds."

Yilin calculated the time silently.

Then he took another look at the power consumption.

In these ten days, after returning from Yiwu County, Yilin didn't step out of the door again and exercised "reading power" wholeheartedly.

It's just a pity that compared with the power shown by Yilin in the ghost fog mountain trial, the "reading power" at the moment can only be regarded as a "family harmony version" at most, with limited lethality.

Whether it is fineness, power or endurance, it is far inferior to the power shown in the ghost fog mountain trial.

Use mental power to lift the weight of the object, which is at most the weight of blood jasmine.

The coverage distance is only 21 meters.

In terms of the number of mental tentacles, Yilin can stably control up to 9 objects at the same time.

And not too heavy.

"It seems that the spiritual attribute is too low."

Yilin smiled and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Summarize while washing.

No matter what ability it is, it must be mastered to the extent of arms and fingers in order to play its greatest role.

Motivation... Or "skills"... Is the same.

In his opinion, the Apostles' abilities and skills are just tools.

The only thing that really makes the apostles stronger step by step is attributes.

In the previous life, Yilin had already mastered the power of reading.

What Yilin is practicing now is just to make this "weakened version of thinking power" match his current attributes.

There are more patterns. I can't use them yet.

——A little regret.

After taking a bath, Yilin habitually changed into a movable sweater and put all the spare luggage and some compressed food into the storage space.

The storage space of the first-order apostles is only one cubic meter. After this pile of daily necessities is stuffed in, it makes the storage space much crowded.

Early this morning, Molly had hit more than a dozen deadly soul chasing calls and urged them madly.

All members of the investigation team are already at the gate of Jing'an Hotel and can start at any time.

Except Erin.

……

"You're late! You're here!"

Molly stared at Elaine who came slowly, clenched her teeth and said word by word.

Yilin looked at the time calmly.

08:59。

Pop.

09:00。

"Just right." Yilin smiled.

"Hum." At this time, beside Molly, a middle-aged man in short sleeves and gold wire glasses, who looked about 50 years old and had a decent face, snorted coldly and looked at Yilin. His face was a little unhappy.

"Xiao Li, this is what you call an intern researcher? Unexpectedly, so many of us are waiting for him? There is no sense of time at all. Where does this get into the relationship account of the investigation team? You don't think anyone can enter the investigation team?"

Molly frowned. When she heard this, she was also unhappy, but she still explained: "he is not a related household, but a friend of mine. He has just graduated from Qingcheng high school and has a certain understanding of 'tower learning', so..."

"Understand?" The middle-aged man with glasses was furious at the speech: "Let him participate in the tower's investigation just to understand? This is not a family! This is a professional investigation and observation action! Xiao Li, although you are designated as the head of the investigation team, if the investigation progress lags behind or something goes wrong because of other 'non professionals', I will truthfully report it!"

Molly said impatiently, "Yilin joined the investigation team as an intern researcher. It has been agreed by the above. Even if you object, it's useless."

"All right, all right..." at this time, another tall man, who was in his 30s and had a slightly higher hairline, came to persuade him: "isn't this coming too? Originally, the gathering time was 9:00 a.m. and the guy wasn't late. He wasn't late. Just one less sentence..."

Yilin has been silently listening to several people's arguments and didn't say much.

Intern researcher?

Yilin narrowed her eyes slightly.

The instruction he had received from Zhao Yulong was... To protect the investigation team.

But I didn't expect to hide my eyes and ears in this way.

The investigation team consists of seven people, including Yilin.

Although Molly is young, perhaps because of Mo Rendi, she was directly appointed as the head of the investigation team.

That is, the captain.

The atmosphere between the investigation teams seems not very harmonious.

Professional academic researchers seem to have a bad habit. Compared with their peers, everyone thinks Lao Tzu is the first in the world.

In addition, Molly's age and seniority are still young. Some people criticize Molly, which is understandable.

The investigation team was accompanied by a special field team.

Five person team.

This is just a routine outdoor survey, so this team of field personnel is not equipped with too many exaggerated heavy weapons, but with conventional equipment and light equipment.

When Yilin arrived at the gate of Jing'an Hotel, except for the man with glasses at the beginning, others in the research team didn't say much, but only everyone knew what they thought in their heart.

The sun at 9 a.m. in August is not poisonous, but it is also somewhat dazzling.

A maglev bus stopped at the gate of Jing'an hotel. Later, Yilin heard that the bus had been refitted and reached the military bulletproof level. Ordinary live ammunition could not break through the bus's armor at all.

"Aren't you angry?"

While others were loading luggage and various precision measuring instruments on the bus, Molly quietly ran to Yilin and asked in a low voice.

"Angry, why should I be angry?"

Yilin was stunned when he heard the speech.

"The man who attacked you just now, named Ju Xiuyuan, is an authoritative expert on 'tower science'. He is also a doctor of mechanical dynamics and quantum mechanics. In some aspects, he is more professional than me. Although he has a bad temper, he is actually nothing, but he is a little more serious."

Molly briefly introduced everyone in the investigation team to Yilin, and roughly mentioned what everyone was good at.

Yilin had a headache about the messy subject, and without asking in detail, he casually dealt with a few words.

Molly saw that Yilin was really not angry, so she put down her heart and began to command the loading of equipment.

Yilin wondered.

This girl, shouldn't she worry about herself and kill people when she's unhappy?

Well, am I that cruel?

(Bai Xiaoyi: "?"

(NIE Hongxiu: "?"

While the members of the investigation team were busy loading, one of the field staff quietly touched it and stuffed a micro communicator into Yilin's hand.

"Team leader, I'm the team leader in the field. Wang Bing, team leader, just call me Xiao Wang."

Wang Bing looks very young. He is in his 20s. He shaves his flat head neatly, wears a black vest and hangs a string of light equipment around his waist. He looks very simple and honest. He even has shallow dimples when he smiles.

The military grade micro communicator is very small, smaller than the little finger nail cap. It is stuck in the ear canal and can't be seen from the outside.

Yilin quietly pasted the micro communicator, and Wang Bing smiled: "you don't have to be nervous, leader Zhao told me. Generally, if there is no major event, I am responsible for the on-site safety, but once something can't be solved, I will let the Yibing leader do it."

At first, when Wang Bing received this order, he was also very puzzled.

This looks like a small hairy head without neat hair. Will it be a formal member of the "special group"?

No matter how you look at it, Wang Bing can't see anything extraordinary about Yilin.

However, out of absolute obedience to the order, Wang Bing did not show doubt about Yilin, and behaved naturally.

"Maybe it was a young childe of a family who came to the grass-roots level to exercise?"

Wang Bing guessed silently in his heart.

Just as the investigation team was about to leave.

The top of a building in Qingcheng.

There was a flash of light.

In a flash.

……

The tower of death is located at the junction of Jiaoyan Province, Chu'an province and Xizhou province.

On November 11, 2111, the moment the death tower appeared, more than 200 million people evaporated out of thin air.

With the death tower as the center and a radius of 50 kilometers, it is still an uninhabited ruins, shrouded in a layer of gray fog all day.

This circle of uninhabited ruins is called "no man's land".

Qingcheng is located in Xizhou Province, only more than 100 kilometers away from the no man's land.

At the speed of the maglev bus, it takes less than 20 minutes to reach the edge of the no man's land under good road conditions.

Of course, this is still the case when the speed does not dare to soar too fast.

As a professional soldier, Wang Bing is familiar with driving this means of transportation. Without much words, he directly acts as a driver.

The other four field staff were also sitting at the four corners of the bus.

The maglev bus runs smoothly and hardly feels any bumps.

Molly hung her head, up and down, shaking slightly.

Yilin saw that the girl didn't know whether she stayed up late again last night. In this moment, she even dozed off.

Seeing this, Yilin didn't say much, but silently drove the reading power and formed an invisible "pillow" near Molly's chin to hold Molly's slightly shaking head firmly.

By the way, it's used as exercise "reading motivation".

In addition to Molly who dozed off, the expert who was angry with Yilin at the door of Jing'an Hotel... Ju Xiuyuan, sitting in the back row, was in high spirits all the way, talking about all kinds of data that Yilin didn't understand at all.

The others listened with interest, and from time to time they made bursts of exclamation.

Yilin didn't say a word all the way. He was relieved to be a little transparent.

Ju Xiuyuan's eyes glanced at Yilin and Molly from time to time. His eyes were faint and not good.

In his opinion, Yilin is just a "bastard" stuffed in by a related household to plating a layer of gold and go back to improve his resume.

Ju Xiuyuan never gives a good face to such a bastard who has no professional knowledge at all.

Suck.

When Molly woke up with her saliva, she was shocked to find that her saliva curled up into a small lump at the corner of her mouth and floated around her mouth.

This scare almost made her suck back her saliva.

"You!"

The shock immediately woke Molly up.

Yilin smiled and quietly removed his motivation.

Pop.

A small lump of saliva hit Molly's trouser leg.

Yilin smiled and made a silent gesture of "Shh".

Molly gritted her teeth. Fortunately, they sat alone away from others. There were seats in the front row, and they couldn't see their little movements.

Molly quickly wiped the corners of her mouth and stared at Yilin, but there were "outsiders" here. Molly didn't have a good attack, so she asked softly, "here?"

"Yes."

Yilin subconsciously touched the death mark on his chest.

The closer he got to the tower, even with his eyes closed, Yilin could clearly feel the existence of "it".

Even with eyes closed, in the dark consciousness, there seemed to be a gray fog in the direction of the tower. In the fog, there was a magnificent tower rising into the sky.

This is the connection between the Apostle and the tower.

Wang Bing stopped his car and said loudly, "there is no man's land ahead. Because the vision is too poor, the car can't drive in. Everyone is ready to get off and walk into the no man's land!"
