Siren Blade

Chapter 262 The Final Beginning

The accident happened this evening.

Recently, because Lie Que always stays in the capital to work, no one arranges tasks for me in Liucheng.And Jade Bird in the Liucheng Security Bureau is continuing to learn how to deal with management affairs as Lie Que's future successor. She is actually my superior now, but she can't find a suitable task for me, and she won't be like Lie Que. Just as casually sent me to patrol duty.After going back and forth, I was free.

Jade Bird is still occasionally in a hurry when dealing with management affairs. Although there is a team around her to assist and help, she still has to make the most important decisions.Her genius is in the warlock, not the leadership, and difficulties are inevitable.

Although I also want to help Qingniao, but if I approach her casually while she is doing paperwork, she can't help but be lazy and want me to chat or play with her.However, I asked a few people I knew in the bureau, and I heard that she is still very serious in her work where I can't see it.As a novice in management, her scores are considered to be above average, at least much better than Lie Que from long ago. It is rumored that the latter once made a mess around when he first came into contact with management affairs.

It's mid-March now, and it will be Jade Bird's birthday soon, so I want to give her a birthday present.And I'm having a hard time picking out exactly what to gift.If you ask me directly, you will definitely be seen through immediately, and you will lose your sense of mystery.So I want to ask her close friends.

It just so happened that Qiao Licorice was free in the afternoon, so I invited her to have an afternoon tea outside and asked her opinion.In fact, she wasn't really free, but this afternoon Joan's parents were going to accompany Joanna to the Security Bureau to undergo a regular audit again to see if he could continue to control Huihui.Qiao Gancao had a very bad relationship with her parents, and she didn't want to meet her. Also, she was well aware of Qiao An's situation, so she didn't accompany her. Instead, she slipped out of the security bureau for a walk, and would not return until her parents left. The Bureau handles the rest.

We went to the high-end tea restaurant outside and talked in the box.It didn't take long for me to explain my troubles to her.After listening, Qiao Licorice couldn't help but let out a meaningful laugh.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"It's okay, I just feel...ah, it's nothing, nothing." She smiled and waved her hand, then changed to a serious expression, and couldn't help laughing, and it took a while before she became serious again, "Well, birthday present, birthday present ...do you have any thoughts of your own?"

"I'm going to send a piece of jewelry, but I don't know what type she likes." I said.

"She's a law enforcement warlock who fights on the front line. If you give her jewelry, it might be broken during the battle." She pointed out.

This is also the reason why the current blue bird does not wear the white carnation hair ornament that he never left when he was in middle school.I nodded, "I've thought about that too."

"Would you like to give me an amulet?" Qiao Licao made a suggestion, "Amulets infused with spiritual power can be used as decorations or for self-defense."

I thought for a while, "Then I'll ask Lie Que later if there is any way to get advanced amulets."

"I mean you do it yourself," she corrected.

"But I haven't learned how to make amulets, and it's too late to learn now." I said.

"Don't worry, if it's the most superficial amulet, it won't take up much time for you to study. It's just injecting your own spiritual power into the carved material. Gifts are the most important thing. The first time you Even if the amulet made by yourself is not good, it is of great significance." She said with a smile, "With your current strength, even the amulet made casually should have good power. Besides, the amulet This kind of thing will have a stronger effect on the premise that the creator's will to protect is entrusted. Blue Bird used to give amulets to his father on his birthday."

"Her father..." The face of the middle-aged man who asked me to take care of the blue bird that I saw on New Year's Eve came to my mind.

"Making talismans is a skill that has little to do with combat. The reason why Jade Bird learns to make talismans is because she recognizes the darkness that people in the secular society cannot recognize, and then wants to give her only remaining relatives some security. Guarantee." Qiao Licao said with emotion, "From this perspective, the amulet you gave her will also have additional meaning."

"I see." I suddenly realized, and thought of other things at the same time.

Compared with Jade Bird, now I undoubtedly lack concern for my parents, just like my parents treat me... No, I am not lack of concern, this statement is too euphemistic.All this time, I've been trying to avoid it in embarrassment.Since I became a law enforcement warlock, I have faced countless difficulties and obstacles, but I have never been able to muster up the courage to face the two people I should face first.

Whether it's fighting to the death or running out of life, I don't have much time left.So at least in the end, should I have the courage to meet my parents?

Suddenly, I noticed that Joe Licorice was looking at my face intently.It's kind of scary to be honest.Seeing that I came back to my senses, she asked, "Are you thinking of your parents?"

"Didn't you say that you are not good at analyzing other people's psychology on the spot?" I asked.

"But I'm your psychoanalyst." She smiled. "Let me guess, do you think you should meet them?"

"I've been missing for so many years, and now I'm back but I haven't reported my safety to them. Don't you think I haven't done my duty? At least I should apologize to them." I said.

"It's true that you didn't do your part." She nodded first, then changed the subject, "But they were also very bad before. I think they should apologize first when we meet, and apologize severely!"

I almost forgot that this person came out to have afternoon tea with me because of the discord with his parents.

I had to change the subject first and talk about other things.At first I just wanted to talk about something else and end the conversation early, but she seemed to want me to chat with her and share all the troubles and interesting things about life and work with me, so I had to stay with her for now.After chatting for a while, she expressed her curiosity about the information related to Baiju.

Bai Ju is Lie Que's former partner, who broke into the Liucheng Security Bureau and snatched his severed hand, and is my next biggest enemy.In her evaluation, my recent experience is simply a "story in another dimension" that she can't touch. On this basis, Baiju may be the villain closest to her.

"Bai Ju actually promoted the New World Project to make his ex-wife understand him..." Qiao Gancao was also stunned after hearing this.

"Why does he care about his ex-wife so much that he wants to do this?" I said, "The average person can't perceive the hidden things. In the past, countless people have tried to shake this theorem, but without exception Failed. Now he has both the wisdom of a super scientist and the power of a great warlock. Most of his wishes can be realized with his own hands. It is also easy to rebuild a new family. His ex-wife is the life In another world, someone who is destined to be irrelevant to him. With his conditions, he should be able to find someone who can replace his ex-wife, or even find someone of the opposite sex who is better than his ex-wife and who can fully understand him."

"That's not right," she said.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a questioning tone.

She seemed to recall, "For example, you were a child, and your parents gave you a doll on your birthday..."

"Doll?" I asked.

"Or a robot model." She changed her words. "You named it, imagined your fantasy adventures with it in the future, and felt like you became good friends with it. Then your relatives brought their children to your house As a guest, your parents said they would give it to each other’s children, and they would buy you a new robot model with the same price or more expensive one day, would you abandon the old one without hesitation?”

"...It's human nature to like the new and dislike the old." I said.

"Anyway, I can't do it. If my parents do this kind of thing, I will always remember it when I grow up." At this point, she showed suspicion, "But Baiju's way of thinking is too wrong. Is it normal, generally speaking, who would do something to all human beings in order to save the feelings of his ex-wife... Could this abnormal psychology and desire reflect not his own will, but the will of the sea monster? "

She seemed to be caught in a strange thought.

Just then, an accident happened.

I felt a very large spiritual wave erupting from a distance.This direction is probably the center of Liucheng. After the eruption, the huge spiritual fluctuations spread in all directions at an incredible speed.When I realized it, this spiritual fluctuation had already passed the tea restaurant where we were, and continued to move towards the edge of the city.

And as the spiritual fluctuations passed, the space in front of my eyes also underwent bizarre changes.From a visual description, the scene of the entire box in the tea restaurant looks like a person whose head has been smashed to pieces and everything is doubled. All the colors and outlines are separated and distorted. At the same time There was also a low and high frequency ringing in the ears.But this is really not a visual and auditory malfunction, it is really an incomprehensible error in the space itself.

At the same time, I quickly grasped the details of the spiritual fluctuation just now—it was not an ordinary spiritual fluctuation, but a fluctuation of the power of pollution.

At the same time that the space was turbulent, I felt that the power of pollution was trying to pull me to other spaces.It was as if this space had become an unstable swamp, and the power of pollution was the rope that tied my limbs, dragging me to the depths of the swamp.It's not just me having this abnormality, I've also noticed changes in the Joe Licorice.She covered her ears and fell to the table in pain. Her figure was gradually dimming and blurring, as if she was about to disappear from my eyes.

I immediately grabbed her wrists so she wouldn't be dragged "into the depths of the swamp".

Fortunately, although the scale of the power of pollution is abnormally huge, its density is quite low.Even if I don't do anything, the dragging force doesn't seem to be enough to drag her into other spaces, let alone dragging myself.And the twists and waves of the scene come and go quickly.As soon as she lay down on the table, the anomaly was over, and the ghosting in my eyes also subsided.The whole process takes no more than a second.

"What's going on, did someone attack us?" she murmured.

"No, the wave just now wasn't aimed at us, it was launched at the whole city." I looked around.

Only then did she notice the changes around her, and her face changed slightly.

Our surroundings haven’t changed into a scary place, it’s still a normal indoor box, but the drinks and food that were originally placed in front of us have disappeared, and the positions of the tables and chairs are different, just like where we are. The place was replaced by a vacant box.

At the same time, I also felt that the human breath outside had disappeared, and the air was also filled with a dangerous smell.

Although I thought that Qiao Licao and I had resisted the power of pollution just now, but now it seems that we are still involved in some kind of different space.Not only that, but this different space feels very familiar to me.This is similar to the random ruins, and it also has the same phase space temperament as the fog experienced last time.

I even captured the spiritual fluctuations of many demons nearby.

Joe Licorice quickly entered the state of the security bureau warlock, and I recalled the experience of working with her in the mist of the mirage in the past.

"What's next?" she asked.

"Go outside and have a look first." I stood up while thinking about the situation, and walked towards the exit, "Follow me closely."

"Okay." She left her seat and followed closely behind me.

I pushed the door out and came to the lobby.There should have been some customers here, but at this moment, let alone customers, not even the clerk could see any of them.Moreover, the tables and chairs were still tilted, and the lights were flickering. The whole scene seemed to have been destroyed by several gangs of thugs.

Even more unbelievable is the outside.Although I haven't gone outside yet, Joe Licorice and I can see clearly. It's night outside, and the street lights have been turned on to provide illumination.However, it should be evening at most.

I walked slowly out the door, followed by Joe Licorice.And the moment we walked out, there was an extremely thick and muddy wind sound from above our heads.Looking up, I saw a huge worm like a heavy-duty truck. It opened its mouthparts like a whirlpool with densely packed sharp teeth towards us, and swallowed us in one gulp while falling.
