Chapter 28 No.20 Scene Eight. Strawberry Flavor

The next day.

Since last night, it has been raining lightly in Jingjiang.

Although the climate of the entire planet has changed after the Great Crash, for the Xia Federation, mid-September is still the season of late summer and early autumn. No, maybe it should be the other way around. People ruled the four seasons before formulating a corresponding The calendar is also uncertain.

The pattering rain washed the streets, and puddles reflected the streetscape.

The haze covered the sun and lowered the temperature while also covering the city with a layer of mist.

Bai Ge held an umbrella and walked in the rain.

"The weather was pretty good yesterday."

He muttered to himself, the rain made Bai Ge's mood down a lot.

When he came to Aimei Plastic Surgery Hospital, Bai Ge saw Lao Huo who was weaving a scarf inside.

"Old Huo, good afternoon, have you started wearing a scarf so early?"

Bai Ge put away the umbrella and said hello.

"Hey, here we come. This scarf is the sweater of the kid next door. Because I'm too young, I'll take it apart and make it into a scarf."

After all, Lao Huo squinted his eyes, as if he was smiling, but he didn't seem to be.

"Looking good today."

He looked Baige up and down, and nodded with satisfaction.

"good?"

Bai Ge glanced at himself in the hospital mirror, and didn't feel any different from yesterday. He walked up to the second floor, where Ai Lian and Tao Xuanran were already waiting.

Quite a feeling of being sentenced.

"Are you ready?"

Ai Lian asked.

"I said I'm not ready, can I still wait for tomorrow?"

Bai Ge laughed at himself.

"Looks like you're ready."

Tao Xuanran adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and took out a bottle of medicine the size of loquat dew from his briefcase.

The potion bottle is transparent, and you can see the viscous liquid exuding a brilliant shimmer inside.

He put the potion on the table, and the liquid with a black base changed its light, showing a magnificent color like a nebula, just like the Milky Way and stars that Baige could only see in old-time movies, and now humans can no longer touch.

It is not the first time Bai Ge has seen it theoretically, but he is still surprised by this color.

This is the rainbow of ascension.

A potion that allows humans to step into the extraordinary.

The production method is nominally the top secret of each faction. In fact, there are quite a few organizations that can produce the Upgraded Rainbow. When there is an extreme shortage of money, some organizations will even sell the Reserved Upgraded Rainbow in exchange for funds.

For example, the Pan-West Sea Business Community conducts an annual quota auction for the upgraded rainbow, and those rich and wealthy will spend money to auction it, so that their descendants will become upgraded.

The name of the rising rainbow is derived from the bright starlight.

"This is the upgrade rainbow, number ZX-070035, um, of course, you don't need to memorize this."

Ai Lian mentioned a word.

"I can be promoted if I drink this?"

To be honest, Bai Ge still doesn't feel real.

In ordinary novels and movies, the protagonist always has to go through some practice, exercise, or near-death experience to upgrade. It is unreasonable to think that a bottle of potion can transform into a stronger upgrader like this.

"Hehe, of course not. This is just an ordinary upgrade rainbow, and no historical fragments have been added. If you drink it, there will be no change."

Tao Xuanran sneered.

"The potion used for promotion to the second level needs to be prepared on the spot. The historical fragments are very fragile. If they are not taken after being dissolved into the promotion rainbow, they will completely dissipate in less than an hour. Oh, except for the abyss environment. The historical fragments can be destroyed in the abyss. It has been preserved for a long time, so for some high-value historical fragments, the best way to protect them is to leave them in the abyss."

While explaining, he took out the small box containing the monocle.

Taking out the monocle with the fragments of Yasen Luoping's history, Tao Xuanran gave it to Ai Lian.

Just when Bai Ge was curious about how to extract the historical fragments, whether he should throw the monocle directly into the upgrade rainbow and let himself drink it, Ai Lian closed the hand that was holding the monocle and squeezed it hard.

click-

The monocle was crushed just like that.

Crushed.

"?"

Is this a bit too simplistic?

Bai Ge's doubts were quickly dispelled by the things in Ai Lian's hands again.

It was a cluster of stars.

Bai Ge knew that this metaphor was a bit strange, but for a while, he couldn't think of other descriptions.

In Ai Lian's little palm, apart from the remains of the monocle that was broken into several pieces, it was the faintly flickering light cluster.

The light cluster is not a pure color, and Baige can see the multicolored splendor inside like a distant nebula.

"Give."

Ai Lian handed the cluster of starlight back to Tao Xuanran. He picked up the tweezers that he did not know when he pulled out, gently picked up the cluster of nebulae, unscrewed the bottle cap of the Ascension Rainbow, and put it into the bottle .

crackling—

Bai Ge seemed to hear the sound of sparks flying.

The cluster of starlight falling into the bottle is like a shooting star passing through the night, fleeting in the deep liquid, and the starlight gradually merges with the original rainbow light, intertwining, forming a fascinating brilliance.

Observing carefully, Bai Ge found that the whole bottle of potion was slightly whitish at the moment, like an obsidian dotted with countless stardust, and the strange thing is that no matter from which angle you look at it, the starlight of the liquid in the bottle remains the same.

"Here, this is your Ascension Rainbow."

Tao Xuanran pushed it in front of Baige.

"How does this... taste?"

Bai Ge had a sudden idea.

"Strawberry flavor, maybe it also has the fragrance of a girl."

Ai Lian gave him a blank look, and urged again.

"Stay here and dawdle, drink quickly."

"Oh."

Bai Ge responded, picked up the bottle, some strange thoughts flashed through his mind, then raised his head, and poured the rainbow of promotion in the bottle into his mouth.

Sorry, it's not strawberry flavored.

Bai Ge's initial thought was this.

It's hard to describe the taste of this ascending rainbow, because it's more like a jelly mixed with sand than a liquid.

The delicate touch rubbed Baige's mouth and flowed down his throat into his stomach. If it was normal, Baige would have already vomited it out and went to the bathroom to frantically rinse his mouth.

But he endured the discomfort and swallowed a whole bottle of Upgraded Rainbow.

As soon as he put down the bottle, Bai Ge felt dizzy.

He grabbed the hand that someone stretched out, and was helped to sit slowly on the sofa. In his field of vision, countless pictures flickered.

In the night, a man with a half-height silk top hat, white gloves, a wooden cane, a long black dress, and a monocle is walking through the foggy streets. The dim light of the oil lamp shines on the road, but cannot illuminate him. appearance.

At the dinner party attended by men and women dressed up, the handsome man chatted with the nobles of the upper class, which attracted the attention of the enthusiastic girls. Under the moonlight, the man and the duchess danced lightly, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

A dark room, a crying woman, a child who just lost his father was silent, he quietly observed every move of the people, his eyes were indifferent and persevering, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

Bai Ge examined these pictures like a bystander, and suddenly found that the man in the pictures had the same face as him.

No, that man, has countless faces.

Abandoned name, origin, family, and even appearance.

A phantom thief who steals in a flashy way and stirs up troubled times.

This is Arsen Robin.

Bai Ge regained consciousness, and she was still in the living room of Ai Lian's house, leaning on the sofa.

There was a warm touch on his hand, and he turned his head slightly, and found that he had been holding Ai Lian's hand tightly since just now.

"Excuse me......"

Just when Bai Ge wanted to apologize and let go of his palm, he felt a little itching from his face.

The other hand touched his cheek lightly, but what Baige touched was a hard and rough surface, like a mask.

The itching became more and more intense, and Bai Ge couldn't help but put both hands on his face.

Soon, he felt that there seemed to be a gap at the end of his ear hairline, as if this face was just a mask that could be taken off at any time.

Without thinking too much, Baige inserted his fingers into the raised gap and exerted force.

hiss-

Bai Ge tore his face off!
