old fire thieves

Chapter 50

In the end, Bai Ge finished the 13.2-meter race in [-] seconds, won the fourth place in the qualifiers participated by four contestants, and was eliminated smoothly.

congratulations.

"Sure enough, the stopwatch is wrong, how could Bai Ge run so fast."

Zhu Shuangjiang commented on this.

And Bai Ge just felt exhausted.

Running while controlling your speed to not outpace others is more tiring than running at full speed.

After he finished running, he just randomly found a shady place in the stands and sat there like a salted fish.

Nourishes—

Just as Baige closed his eyes to rest his mind, his cheeks felt cold and he opened his eyes immediately.

"It is you......"

Ai Lian gave him a bottle of iced sports drink, Baige took the bottle, unscrewed it, subconsciously smelled it, and took a sip when he found nothing unusual.

"Why do you treat me as a sick and weak girl so hard to go to the small supermarket to buy water for you? What about our relationship?"

Ai Lian joked that Zhu Shuangjiang could be seen in the distance secretly looking at the two of them with a curious look.

"Oh, apart from the fact that water is true, this sentence is all nonsense."

Bai Ge retorted, not to mention anything else, if Ai Lian really showed her strength, the race just now would probably even have to rebuild the track.

What kind of sick girl is this.

"But you do feel the difference between an ascended person and an ordinary person."

Ai Lian sat next to Bai Ge, and said softly at a distance that was too close for ordinary male and female students.

"Um......"

Bai Ge was slightly silent.

When he fought against the security guards of the city planning exhibition hall before, he realized that his opponent was too weak.

The daily exercise with Ai Lian is almost [-]-[-], Bai Ge originally thought that he hadn't changed much.

But now, this running gave Bai Ge a very intuitive and personal experience.

The physical fitness of the ascended person is far superior to that of ordinary people. If they are forced to exercise in the way of ordinary people, it will make the body more burdened.

"In the past, when the ascenders first appeared on the earth, there was a word describing the ascenders."

Sitting side by side with Ai Lian and Bai Ge, in the eyes of outsiders, it is probably a pair of close couples who are rubbing each other's ears.

"The person who ascends is not human."

"Isn't it human..."

Bai Ge felt that the upgraded people had already integrated into social life and become a daily routine.

But just like the plots in many movies he has seen, when some human beings possess extraordinary power, there will definitely be corresponding disputes and persecution, fear and struggle.

As for the history of the riser's appearance, the textbook did not mention it in detail, and only recorded the corresponding historical events from the perspective of a bystander in pale text.

"This sentence has two meanings."

Ai Lian went on to say that at this moment, the final of the [-]-meter race in the second grade of high school is going on, and even in Baige's vision, their speed is a bit too slow.

"The first one is a literal meaning. Naturally, there is a gap between ascended people and ordinary people. It is not wise to force yourself to adapt to ordinary people. The second is what this sentence really wants to convey, that is You can't think about the actions of an ascended person with the thinking of an ordinary person."

"Ok?"

Hearing these words, Bai Ge suddenly felt inspired.

"How do you say that?"

"Hehe, when you contacted me to fight, you used the martial arts tricks of ordinary people."

Ai Lian chuckled and explained.

"Didn't you realize that, in fact, the real moves don't have that kind of power? It's not the moves that are powerful, but your own body, or in other words, the fighting skills are ordinary human beings. Created with maximum power.”

"But ascenders are not ordinary humans. Forcibly using those skills is like slowing down your pace just now to take care of other people. Not only can you not use all your strength, but it will also make yourself tired."

After she finished speaking, she gently smoothed the ends of her hair hanging by her ears.

"So, an excellent upgrader must find a fighting style that suits him. The fighting training I do with you is just to enhance your instinctive reaction and ability to resist blows."

"Like the kind of play where the whole head is turned around?"

Bai Ge thought of Ai Lian's fighting method realized by using the characteristics of alchemy dolls. This is absolutely impossible to appear on human beings, but after suffering a loss, Bai Ge will definitely stay behind when facing similar alchemy dolls in the future. Be careful.

"Ah."

Ai Lian nodded.

"really."

Thinking about it this way, Bai Ge understood a lot.

In fact, in addition to ordinary fighting, he himself has also continued to practice playing card throwing techniques recently. He has also integrated the ideas he learned in fighting to create a variety of different throwing methods. By the way, he also learned several fancy magic tricks , but unfortunately there is no way to practice.

The reminder of love made him feel that maybe the two could be combined to create a new way of fighting?

Card fighting?

A card duel?

Bringing a smile to a duel...it's not a thing at all.

When his brain was wide open, Bai Ge suddenly realized something.

Could it be that Ai Lian told Zhu Shuangjiang that she was fishing in the classroom just to let Zhu Shuangjiang pull her to run a race, so she realized this?

No, no, no, this woman must have done it simply because she wanted to see herself embarrassed.

But no matter what, Bai Ge did have a new understanding of the identity of the ascended person.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge said.

"In this way, I think the phrase 'the person who ascends is not human' has a third meaning."

"what?"

Ai Lian was startled, and asked back.

"That is, even if there is a big difference from ordinary people, as long as there is humanity in the heart, then the ascended person is also human."

Alchemy dolls can also become human.

Bai Ge didn't say the latter sentence, but the girl beside him must have understood what Bai Ge meant.

"......fool."

Ai Lian muttered something and turned her face away.

...

...

evening.

The editorial department of Jingjiang Daily.

Editor-in-chief Wang Zongrui put down his teacup and sighed.

On the computer screen are online comments about the theft of the Jingjiang Urban Planning Exhibition Hall.

[I think this thief is really abominable. He even injured the security guard, which is unforgivable! 】

[I think he is very cool, he comes and goes without a trace, and he knocked down three security guards in two or three hits, so powerful. 】

[Yes, yes, his last gesture of saluting is so handsome. 】

[It is estimated that the Ascendant committed a crime. These people always like to make big news. 】

[But why do you want to steal a stone? Is there something hidden in it? 】

[I heard from a friend in the exhibition hall that there was a poker card on the scene, which seemed to be a clown card. 】

On Saturday, both Jingjiang Daily and Jingjiang TV reported the theft of the urban planning exhibition hall on Friday night. It was originally a rather strange case, but on Sunday, I don’t know where the self-media got a piece of that day’s theft. The surveillance video of the security room, together with the leak of some interviews with those involved, made the discussion of this matter heated up.

The man who wore a short-sleeved shirt similar to the security guards and looked similar to one of the security guards had a clean fighting style, as well as the exaggerated salute and the operation of cutting the phone line with playing cards.

Most of the battle details of the upgraded ones are kept secret, and after all, extraordinary battles are too far away for ordinary people. On the contrary, the fist-to-body fights in the surveillance video appear more real.

In just one or two days, the name [Strange Thief JOKER] was inexplicably spread among the crowd.

For a media person like Wang Zongrui, this is a hot topic, so it is natural to follow up and report it.

But Wang Zongrui used his contacts in the police station, and he could only find out the name of [Strange Thief JOKER]. For other information, the other party replied "No comment".

This thing is very weird.

As a person who has worked in the media industry for more than ten years, Wang Zongrui has seen many such things.

If it is a case of an ascended person, most of the cases will be taken over by the mysterious agency of the Abyss Relic Affairs Department, and eventually disappear. Only national-level news organizations have the right to broadcast similar cases.

Now that this case is said to be done by ordinary people, Wang Zongrui doesn't quite believe it.

Now this situation is really puzzling.

"Wang Bian, there is your courier downstairs, I need to sign for it myself."

The internal line rang, and Wang Zongrui received a call from the front desk administrator, asking him to go downstairs to collect the mail.

"I sign for it?"

Wang Zongrui frowned slightly, recalled it for a moment, and couldn't think of any important express delivery that he needed to sign for himself.

He responded, hung up the phone, and went downstairs to the front desk.

Waiting here is a courier in plain gray overalls, not the panda logistics brother Wang Zongrui is familiar with.

"Please sign here."

He handed Wang Zongrui a ballpoint pen and asked him to sign the delivery form.

After Wang Zongrui signed, he took the express box with a panda pattern printed on it. He was a little surprised when he got it.

Very heavy.

This courier box is only normal size, but the weight is very heavy.

Wang Zongrui thanked the courier brother, took the courier back to the editorial department on the second floor, and borrowed a letter opener next door to open it.

"What is this..."

The moment he opened the box, he froze.

In the box, there is a stone.

It was a rough white stone like clotted cream.

It is the type of stone that Wang Zongrui often sees recently.

stalactites.

Since he had been doing relevant follow-up reports for the past two days, Wang Zongrui recognized it at a glance. This stone was the one that was stolen from the Jingjiang Urban Planning Exhibition Hall on Friday night! ! !

Seeing that there seemed to be something under the stone, he carefully took it out and put it aside.

At the bottom of the express box, there are two things.

A letter, and a playing card.

Joker card.
