Chapter 6 The Fork in the Road
Five-year-old and Lu Yaoyuan compete to see who can pee farther.
When I first entered primary school at the age of seven, I beat all the kids until they cried.
I graduated from elementary school at the age of twelve. In order to celebrate the graduation ceremony, I took Lu Yaoyao and several other friends to the street to pretend to be street children and beg. A well-intentioned person called the welfare home.
At that time, several parents were almost going crazy.
All kinds of things like this.
Until I suddenly started drawing comics a year ago, the pile of passionate scenes were really unspeakable.
Jiang You, what others call a bad boy.
Why does my daughter play with this guy every day?
Lu Nanfeng felt deeply tired.
"What were you doing when I came back?" He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Before he lit it, Lu Yaoyao took it away.
"I'm reading information. Information about alien species and extraordinary things." Jiang You said matter-of-factly.
"Huh?" Lu Nanfeng looked at his girl with a slightly stern look, "Did you take this? Girl, you are so timid."
Lu Yaoyao shrank his neck, then started acting coquettishly, "Dad, isn't there a tape? Plus I'm watching from the side, so nothing will happen."
Lu Nanfeng's expression gradually calmed down and became more serious, "What did you get?"
"It's just some explanations of the extraordinary and shadow layer, there is absolutely no other information." Lu Yaoyao assured.
"I'm used to you." Lu Nanfeng glared at her, relaxed a little, and then looked at Jiang You, "Do you know why students are not allowed to be exposed to these in advance?"
"Not sure." Jiang You had some guesses in his mind.
"There are differences in people's hearts, and evil is born on their own. Despair can drag people into the abyss. Some things are not suitable to be disclosed to everyone."
Jiang You didn't quite understand this sentence, it was a bit... mysterious.
Uncle Lu continued, "Not everyone has strong enough willpower. Even if there is a gap in their hearts, it may give alien species an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"So before the official martial arts exam, a qualification test must be conducted: physical qualifications, willpower qualifications. Make sure he is qualified and capable of contacting the extraordinary world."
"The path to the extraordinary is filled with obstacles every step of the way, and is extremely dangerous. Even with the aid of equipment for treatment, some people still fall out of control every year, which is regrettable. If you don't take the martial arts exam in the future, I don't recommend that you understand this."
"Isn't this the unified martial arts test this year? I can't escape." Jiang You chuckled, "Besides, it's better to seek help from others than from yourself. It doesn't hurt to learn more about it."
"Okay, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up, so calm down."
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, the communicator on Lu Nanfeng's waist suddenly began to vibrate violently.
"Hello?"
"Army, shadow layer, urgent mission!"
"Okay, I'll be there soon." Lu Nanfeng hung up the communicator and quickly stood up after taking a few mouthfuls of food.
"I'm going on a mission. Jiang You, please be honest with me. If I find out again, I'll capture you and bring him back to the Night Patrol Division next time."
After glaring at him, Lu Nanfeng hurriedly walked out.
"Uncle Lu is still as hot-tempered as before." Jiang You sighed.
"There have been a lot of cases in the department recently. He often can't even eat two mouthfuls of food before he has to go out on missions."
When his father finally left, Lu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bowl and started eating.
wrong.
As she was eating, she remembered Jiang You's performance just now, her eyes suddenly widened, and she clapped her little hands on the table, "Jiang You, what did you mean just now? Did you deliberately misunderstand my father?"
Jiang You retorted, "You are thinking too much."
"I'm furious."
Lu Yaoyao stood up and ran over, grabbing Jiang You's cheeks with his little hands and pulling them to both sides.
Not to be outdone, Jiang You pulled back.
After a rough fight, the girl turned red and scolded him as a bastard and a gangster.
After dinner, Jiang You left the girl's house and walked outside the community.
He thought about reading more information to understand his own changes, but Uncle Lu came back early.
According to Uncle Lu's temperament, he will probably keep all the information, right?
It took a lot of coaxing for the girl to get two or three basic knowledge. It was a real loss.
He left the community, walked along the road, and came to the supermarket.
The New Year will be here in ten days, and supermarkets have begun to put up bright red signs with blessing characters and couplets stacked at the door. From time to time, customers come to inquire about prices.
Posters of the Night Watch Department are posted on shelves and counters. In the center of the broadsheet is a night watchman in uniform, with a burning background, and a simple slogan: Sunset night watch, protect the tranquility of the sea of clouds.
Jiang You walked into the supermarket and took a bottle of soy sauce and vinegar from the daily necessities section. He was about to pay and leave when the phone rang.
"Diejiang Tour, bring me a box of eggs, a box of milk, and... forget it, that's all."
Yes, women's products.
After thinking about it, he bought two more boxes of family planning supplies.
It’s always better to be prepared.
Carrying a big bag, soy sauce bottles and vinegar bottles swayed, making a clanging sound.
The cold wind howled and penetrated through the gaps in my clothes, making my skin feel chilly.
There is still one month until school starts.
The effect of shadow exercise is very good at the beginning, but the further it goes on, the less effective it becomes.
Simply doing exercise is still a bit inferior.
With one month left, I don’t know what level I can reach.
Jiang You let out a long sigh.
The Ah Piao at the gate of the community is probably not too strong among the alien species.
After all, those who were too strong would have been dealt with by the Night Watch Division long ago.
Even so, it took him three days to grind down the opponent's health bar 6
On average, I grind 2...
And he has seen countless existences that are more terrifying than Ah Piao in the shadow layer.
A hundred years ago, the world entered a cataclysm, alien species invaded, and all life was devastated.
Countless ancestors have exchanged their blood for the stability in the gathering place now, but under this stability, there is another side hidden.
This year's compulsory martial arts test, as long as you are above the passing line, you will enter the extraordinary world in the future.
In short, it is to forcefully expand the number of students enrolled.
You know with your toes that this kind of policy cannot be rolled out haphazardly.
Is it because there are not enough frontline manpower?
Or is there not enough new energy?
Who knows.
Posters were also posted on the walls on both sides of the road, as well as slogans in red letters that read: "Drive out the alien species and restore our great Zhou Dynasty."
His steps paused slightly, and his pupils shrank a little.
At the intersection on the right, you can see the entrance of your community in the distance, and there is no figure of A Piao in the shadow layer.
On the left, a hundred meters away.
[HP: 24]
[HP: 14]
Two lines of blood bars came into view.
The young night watchman in blue and black official uniform had a broken left leg, many holes in his body, and his skin was covered with horrible black lines. He was limping and leaning against the wall, standing with great reluctance. His eyes were hollow and he looked around.
It looks very scary.
Behind him, two children hugged each other and fainted from fear.
It's him.
Jiang You recognized it.
The other party lives in the same high-rise building as him, but on different floors. The two have met several times, but have never spoken.
We met here today.
Opposite the man, he has a slender body, more than two meters tall, with no legs on his lower body. The ghost-like Ah Piao looks equally miserable, with blood like ink flowing out from its wounds.
The right arm has a broad and sharp claw blade, which is like a sickle used to harvest leeks. It hangs and breaks from the middle.
There is a ferocious giant claw on the left arm, and the palm spread is bigger than Jiang You's head.
Piao has [24] health left, and the night watchman has [14] health left.
Chapter completed!
