174. Surprised then regret
‘Buzz…buzz…’
Just when I was feeling a little hungry, a sound came from the cell phone on the bedside table. Ji Xu glanced at him and reached out to grab it.
It was Mu Sheng’s call.
"Are you okay?"
After connecting, he asked directly.
Ji Xu smiled silently and responded, "It's pretty good."
"Now, I know that you have become an ordinary person, but it doesn't mean that the news cannot be released. Tell me, what are your plans?"
Mu Sheng's tone was as deep as ever, but there was no fluctuation due to Ji Xu's transformation. It seemed that in his eyes, they were all human beings, the same.
Ji Xu thought about it and looked out the window with a little dazzled sense, "What's the plan? What's there?"
"Do you still remember the incident in Jingming Lake, Fengcheng?" Mu Sheng asked.
"certainly."
"Behind the two foundation people you solved that time, there is actually a stop-and-place point in Fengcheng."
"Tell me, you know I shouldn't have much time."
"It seems you know this very well." Mu Sheng said: "Then I will just say it. If you don't have any other way of retreat, you can go to the station site. Now our people have taken over."
Ji Xu pursed his lips. He knew his current situation very well.
There is something called the soul lamp in the academy, which retains a wisp of souls from some people with more important identities, which can premonition the life and death of the person who keeps the lamp. When the martyrs of China break through and step into the furnace realm, they must sense the power of heaven and earth. As the institution closest to the way of heaven, Yingtiantai of the academy can naturally sense the energy of every furnace powerhouse.
That is, it will leave a trace on the academy without any other function, but it only represents a trace of existence, that is, there are several oven realms under the Heavenly Dao of China.
Ji Xu is naturally no exception. In the past two days, the trace that belonged to him gradually faded until it completely dissipated.
There are only two explanations: either the master of this trace's death and disappearance, or he is no longer in this state. Perhaps he has become a useless person, or perhaps he has become an ordinary person.
Just like Ji Jueyuan, although he is not in the furnace, his nature is the same.
Therefore, this is something that I can't hide, because the academy will inform the major families in the capital. It's not because Ji Xu is special, but it's just that it has been like this for millions of years.
Ji Xu had seen these things in the archives room of the Special Affairs Headquarters, so he naturally understood them.
...
"Why, don't you?" Mu Sheng asked when he saw that he had not spoken for a long time.
Ji Xu said: "What identity do I have in? Or is this Extraordinary Commissioner of the Executive Bureau?"
"Of course." Mu Sheng did not hesitate, as if he had known that he would ask this question, and then said: "Or, you can also be the director of the Executive Board. After all, Mr. Zou asked you to succeed him during his lifetime."
"While living?" Ji Xu was stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zou?"
"His soul lamp is out." Mu Sheng said in silence for a moment.
Ji Xu's fingers trembled slightly, "When did it happen?"
"Just yesterday," Mu Sheng said, and then added, "When the traces on the rooftop of Yu Ying dissipated."
Ji Xu's eyes flashed and he asked, "Do you think there is any connection between the two?"
"I've already said it when I came to the Executive Board to look for me on the day you came."
Mu Sheng did not answer, but said, "I will send you the address where I stayed at later. From now on, you will be the person in charge there. Boss Ji, I wish you a happy time."
After saying that, before Ji Xu could reply, the phone had already hung up.
He clenched the phone tightly, and Ji Xu's face turned gloomy and gloomy.
Of course, no matter how hard he exerts force, he may not be able to leave finger marks on his phone, let alone just pinch it.
Zou Shang was actually dead?!
This is what Ji Xu is resounding in his mind now.
How could he die?
A strong man who is equivalent to the realm of magical power is placed in the hidden vein. This is the ultimate realm that people in the hidden vein can reach.
Although the famous "North Guardian" of China is one-shot below Lin Guanhai in terms of strength and status, he is also a real big shot. Even internationally, he is a first-class existence.
But he died, and the soul lamp of the academy went out. This is a fact and cannot be faked.
Ji Xu suddenly felt a chill, and he was now feeling a little regretful.
Thinking of Mu Sheng's time when Zou Shang's soul lamp went out, Ji Xu felt that if he had not given up, Zou Shang might not have died.
But, is this really the case?
Where did Chen Yao go again? Did he go to snatch the eldest Mr.’s body?
Ji Xu didn't know that a layer of cold sweat broke out from his body after taking a shower.
...
Before he knew it, Ji Xu had been sitting by the bed for more than an hour, and the thoughts in his mind gradually subsided from the turbulent seas to the stormy waves.
He was not a sad and sympathetic person, but when he experienced more, his emotions were not numb, but instead he was full and three-dimensionally the balance between man and martyr.
I have been lonely for a long time, because a grass will hurt the spring and the autumn for a long time, let alone this kind of fatal and headache-inducing calculation problem.
Ji Xu slowly stood up and loosened his body. Although there was still soreness on his body, his body still had a foundation. Although he had been nurtured by the power of qi and blood for a while, some cell activity, muscles, etc. were still stronger than ordinary people.
In other words, this state of obvious excessive indulgence will quickly recover.
The clothes dried in the ventilated area became cold and a little hard. If it weren't for the air-conditioned room, it would have become hard long ago.
Ji Xu took it off, carefully ironed it with an iron piece by piece, and then waited for it to cool naturally before patting it on his body.
There is still a smell of soap that has not yet been dissipated, but if you go out in this decent suit and shirt, it is certain that it is cold.
The most important point is that Ji Xu lowered his head and looked at his gaze. Yes, his leather shoes were still wet for the past two days, and because he had been stuffy in the air-conditioned room, it smelled a bit bad.
He sighed in a low voice, put his clean socks on, and kicked on disposable slippers provided by the hotel.
It is the kind of cotton slippers that keep warm in autumn and winter, but it is obviously okay to wear it only in the room. If you go to the road, it will get dirty soon, and the soles will definitely wear out greatly.
But he didn't care much now. He suddenly became hungry and wanted to go out for a walk, although it was already past one o'clock in the night now.
“There should be a store selling shoes.”
Ji Xu thought about it, unplugged the fully charged mobile phone, turned off the light and went straight out.
I took the elevator downstairs, and no one came out at this point in time.
The lobby was very empty, with only a few staff members there. The girl at the front desk looked over and smiled.
Ji Xu didn't pay attention, tightened his suit jacket a little, and walked out with his slippers.
As soon as I went out, I saw the bar lights and the noisy music that came into my ears. It was clearly winter and there were women wearing very little fabrics coming out of it.
Ji Xu shook his head, followed the direction on the mobile phone map, and walked to the left.
