Golden Summoner

The first people who came to this continent were gold diggers, and the legend of gold rushing in Guangzhou has affected countless people.

People who dream of coming to this continent to dig for gold are even more rare.

After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, today's Dayan Republic has become a powerful country with a territory of 2278 million square kilometers, occupying almost the entire Beiguangzhou, and a population of 6.8 million. The Yan Kingdom is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

Shenzhou is still Shenzhou, and China is still China, but the world outside of China is already very different.

By the way, the "Bright Valley" (Note 1) that "the river flows from the valley into the bottomless abyss" that Duke Magong named Guangzhou back then is actually the Grand Canyon of Colorado...

At this moment, the Valley of Glory still has the inscription on the inscription left by Eunuch Ma when he discovered it.

With the view of the Rocky Mountains, Xia Ping'an finished eating the noodles, and just as he was washing the dishes in the kitchen, "Ding dong... ding dong..." The doorbell rang.

It's too early for the landlord to collect the rent!

Xia Ping'an muttered, wiped his hands in the kitchen, walked to the door, did not use the cat's eye, but "looked" outside the door through the security door.

At this sight, Xia Ping'an's heart jumped.

It was the man standing outside the door, wearing a black leather trench coat and sunglasses, very cool.

Seeing this man, Xia Ping'an's head came up with the image of this man when he killed demon rats and insects - this man is a summoner and belongs to the National Order Committee.

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a sharp-edged and resolute face in his 30s, with deep black eyes, looking at Xia Pingan calmly through the thick security door.

Chapter 4 Homecoming

Xia Ping'an took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and opened the security door. Only then did the face of the man in the black trench coat appear in front of him.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Xia Pingan asked calmly.

"Of course I came to you!" said the man standing outside the door.

Xia Pingan thought for a while, turned sideways, and let the man come in.

The man who entered the room looked at the place where Xia Ping'an lived with great interest. Xia Ping'an closed the door and turned to face the man.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mo Yanshao. I'm the director of the Xianghe City State Order Committee. We met yesterday!" The man's eyes were sharp and bright. Give people pressure.

The State Order Committee of the Yan Kingdom is the most powerful organization in the Yan Kingdom. The authority and reputation of this organization is well-known. It has a huge influence not only in the Yan Kingdom, but also in countries around the world.

In various film and television dramas, the people in this institution and institutions often appear, strong, ruthless, and almost omnipotent, making all gangsters and monsters who invade the space daunting, and the history of the National Order Committee of the Yan Kingdom can be traced back to hundreds of years ago.

"You are... the lamplighter!" Thinking of the man's terrifying skills and the summoner's skills he had seen before, Xia Ping'an's eyes moved.

"The name of this lamplighter is from the past. We have not used it for a long time. Yan Kingdom is now a country ruled by law. We are only a special group of civil servants who serve the state apparatus and national interests. All actions are within the framework of the law and will not be taken lightly. Kill, unless that person is damned!" Mo Yanshao looked at Xia Ping'an with a smile on his lips, "As an awakened person, your remote viewing ability is very strong, but it is easy to be discovered when you meet someone like me!"

Now that the person had come to the door, Xia Ping'an calmed down. He turned around, poured a glass of water for the man, put it on the table in the living room, and sat in front of the man, "I have a good grasp of my abilities. I’m not familiar with it, and I didn’t expect you to have the ability to remotely view too!”

"The ability of remote viewing is rare among the abilities of the awakened, but it is not without it. I happen to be one of them. Can I ask, when did you find out that you have such an ability?"

"Well, just a few days ago, I was surprised that I suddenly had this ability..." Xia Ping'an said calmly, not even bothering to pretend to be surprised.

how many days ago?What a liar!Mo Yanshao raised the corner of his mouth, he knew that Xia Pingan was lying.

According to the law of the Yan Kingdom, all awakeners must report their abilities to the Order Committee within half a month after confirming their awakening. Xia Ping'an never went.

If this remote viewing ability was awakened before, Xia Ping'an concealed it without reporting it for so many years, which obviously violated some of the provisions of Yan Guo's "Public Safety Act" and "Awakened Persons Management Act".

But if Xia Ping'an only awakened "a few days ago", then it is natural that he has not reported at this moment, and the law cannot hold Xia Ping'an accountable.

However, Shao Yan didn't come here to find fault with Xia Ping'an and popularize the law. He didn't care what Xia Ping'an was like before, what was important was what Xia Ping'an would do in the future.

"Have you ever revealed your remote viewing ability in front of others, or if anyone else knows about your ability, please answer truthfully, this question will be related to your safety!" Mo Yanshao's face was very serious.

Xia Ping'an thought for a while, then shook his head, "I just awakened this ability, others don't know it yet!"

"You also have a younger sister named Xia Ning, doesn't she know?"

Xia Ping'an's eyes drooped, but he still shook his head, "She doesn't know either!"

Mo Yan stared at Xia Ping'an. He knew that Xia Ping'an lied for the second time. Xia Ping'an's younger sister Xia Ning should know that Xia Ping'an has the ability of remote viewing. The two have lived together for so many years. I didn't hide from Xia Ning.

The reason Xia Ping'an shook his head was because he was certain that Xia Ning would not reveal his ability to anyone, even if he was questioned or stood in court.

Mo Yanshao didn't bother with this issue, he just continued, "The awakening of special abilities should be reported to the Order Committee. You should know what this ability means. Do you need me to explain it to you?"

In Yan Kingdom, if you awaken and possess special abilities, you must report to the Order Committee, and then the Order Committee will make an assessment. If this ability is useful to the country, then those with this ability will be forcibly recruited to serve the country. Service, like military service.

Awakened people with special abilities will basically directly join the Yan Kingdom's National Order Committee or other state departments, become a member of the state machine, and embark on a unique path.The road is full of trials, but it is also glorious, and it is in the service of the country and the people - at least that is how it is advertised on TV.

Every year, before the college entrance examination, Yan Guo conducts a physical examination on all the candidates for reference, and finds out talents with special abilities who may awaken, and then trains them.

In fact, it is not just the Yan Kingdom, other countries have similar practices, and the awakened people are special talents that are highly valued by all countries.

Because Xia Pingan dropped out of school before finishing high school to work, he escaped the medical examination for the college entrance examination, and his remote viewing ability was never discovered.

"Isn't it? It's not too late. As a law-abiding citizen of the Yan Kingdom, of course I know what I should do. I'm preparing to report in a few days!" Xia Ping'an remained calm.

"Don't be nervous, I didn't come to ask you about your crimes and discuss the laws of the country!" Mo Yanshao said with a smile, "I don't want to ask about your past!"

Xia Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Understood, can you tell me why you came to me?"

"We need your help!" Shao Yan said directly.

"Looking for those few demon mice that ran away?" Xia Ping'an reacted immediately, and the reason why the Order Committee could come to the door was only because of his ability.

"Yes, among the few demon rats that ran away, two are female. We must find and kill them as soon as possible. Once they are allowed to escape into the wilderness, it will be very troublesome!"

"I know, as I learned in elementary school textbooks, everyone is responsible for eradicating the devil rat!" Xia Pingan smiled slightly, "The devil rat can eat almost any plant, animal, carrion, grass root except stones and soil. Bark, bugs, dirt in the sewer, if you throw a devil rat to the north and south poles, it can survive, and their reproductive ability is very strong, they can give birth three times a year, and each time they can breed three to six devil rats , and the devil mouse may also carry thousands of viruses and germs from other worlds, among which there are more than 100 pathogens that can be transmitted to humans, the most dangerous of which are zombie viruses, plague and epidemic hemorrhagic fever, and Mutated typhus..."

"Yes, as long as you know it, it is very dangerous for such a space-invading creature to run into the wild. It has no natural enemies at all, and it may reproduce rapidly. I am the only person in the Special Operations Department of the Order Committee of Xianghe City who has remote viewing capabilities. , The other members of the Order Committee who have remote viewing capabilities are scattered in various places to perform tasks, and it takes time to arrive, and what we lack most now is time!"

"The four demon mice escaped in two directions?" Xia Ping'an's eyebrows moved.

"Yes, I can only lead people to chase the mouse in one direction, and stare at the trail of the mouse in one direction, while the pursuit team in the other direction needs to be accompanied by someone with remote viewing ability. You just have such ability! "

"Please allow me to refuse!" Xia Ping'an shook his head, and said directly without thinking, "Even if I have awakened the ability of remote viewing, I am just an ordinary citizen of the country, lacking the ability to protect myself, and there is life in chasing the devil mouse. Dangerous, so I have the right to refuse to participate in such dangerous tasks. Now I am still within the reporting period. Before I officially report to the National Order Committee, you have no right to force me to do anything. If you feel that I have concealed it before With your own abilities, you can go through legal procedures to investigate and prosecute, and I will respond and bear all the consequences..."

Mo Yanshao stared at Xia Ping'an calmly. He was not surprised by Xia Ping'an's rejection and difficulty.

Before coming here, Young Master Mo Yan had obtained Xia Ping'an's files, and felt that Xia Ping'an was not like an ordinary young man. If he was an ordinary young man, with the ability of remote viewing, it would be difficult to hide it like Xia Ping'an. After many years of being a repairman in silence, he didn't tell others or show off, but Xia Ping'an did it.

To be able to work part-time jobs while hiding his remote viewing ability, living in a cheap apartment and guarding a young man who grew up with a younger sister, his level of mental maturity is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

In the face of such people, it is useless to say that those big principles are useless, and even the law's ability to bind them is very limited. Like Xia Ping'an, he obviously knows the legal consequences of concealing his ability, but he still chooses to do so, which shows that he Be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Such people are mature in mind and firm in will. They have their own worldview and values, and have strict self-discipline and judgment standards. The methods of making ordinary people conform are useless to them.

Mo Yanshao took a deep breath, stretched out two fingers, "[-], find a magic mouse and reward you with [-]!"

Mo Yanshao's words were sonorous and straight to the point, "I know that you are very short of money, this is a bounty from the Order Committee, the squad you are working with has two Summoners, experienced Special Order Committee security forces. Soldiers, you won't be put into danger, you just need to follow them and point out where the devil mouse is, they are responsible for the battle, and you don't need to participate in the battle!"

"Twenty thousand?" Xia Ping'an rubbed his face, and the expression on his face became righteous, "Director Mo, as a citizen of the Yan Kingdom, facing the space invasion, for the sake of the country and the people, I am conscious. I am always ready to contribute to the country and society, so I decided to help you find the magic mouse together!"

The corner of Mo Yanshao's mouth twitched. He was a little surprised that Xia Ping'an changed his face so quickly. He looked at Xia Ping'an speechlessly for two seconds, "You really..."

Mo Yanshao feels that he can't find the right adjectives. Seeing money, shameless, philistine... These words only seem to describe part of Xia Ping'an's characteristics, but not all of them. The Xia Ping'an in front of him makes Mo Yanshao It all feels a little hard to grasp.

Within a few minutes of meeting Xia Ping'an, Young Master Mo Yan felt that Xia Ping'an was hiding another face, which was elusive.

Xia Pingan sighed, and spread his hands helplessly, "Mr. Mo, raising a sister who likes to paint is very expensive, and I will pay the rent soon, and the landlord will not lose a penny!"

"Can you go now?"

"Can you advance me [-] yuan first? If you find the two devil mice, you only need to pay me the remaining [-] yuan. If you don't find it, then [-] yuan will be used as my hard work and spiritual comfort money this time. You should have some kind of special action fund or something. With the money, I can work with peace of mind. Otherwise, I will always be distracted. After all, I risked my life to help you this time, and I didn't get paid. , and I don’t know when I will be back when I go out with you, and it will also delay my time to work and earn money…”

Shao Yan was silent for another two seconds, "cough...cough...I don't have any money with me..."

"Then write an IOU first!"

Xia Ping'an turned around and took out a pen and paper like a conjuration...

Shao Yan took a deep breath, quickly wrote an IOU and handed it to Xia Ping'an, then watched Xia Ping'an put the IOU in a drawer in the room, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you follow me? Is it?"

"Wait, my sister will go home tonight, I'll leave a note for my sister..."

Xia Ping'an said, quickly wrote a note for Xia Ning, pressed it with a cup, and placed it on the table in the living room.

After leaving the note, Xia Ping'an looked at Mo Yanshao and said with certainty, "You can leave now!"

Chapter 5 Remote Viewing Pursuit

Xia Ping'an followed Mo Yanshao downstairs and came to the community, only to find that on the lawn of the community, there were already two Falcon helicopters painted in gray-green, and there were also National Order Committee on the two helicopters. logo.

Several special operators in black combat uniforms stood by the helicopter with guns.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the community at the moment. The two Falcon helicopters did not cause much sensation. Only a group of unemployed grandparents and a few housewives looked at the helicopter curiously and whispered. discussion and pointing.

Community security also maintained order around the lawn.

The impact of yesterday's space invasion is still there, and everyone thinks that the two helicopters coming here may be related to yesterday's space invasion.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of people, Xia Ping'an, who was still wearing sportswear, followed Mo Yanshao to a Falcon helicopter quickly.

In the cabin of the helicopter, there were nine people sitting, seven special forces in full armor, a bald-headed man with a majestic body, and a woman with a cold temperament and a beautiful face.

The bald man's body is as majestic as a cow, and his muscles are like rocks on a hill. Next to the bald man is a large machete that is more than one meter long, like a guillotine.

And the short-haired beauty is in her 20s, with short black hair, red lips like fire, wearing leather clothes, showing her bumpy figure to the fullest, on the thigh of the short-haired beauty, there is a pistol and a dagger, It's not easy to mess with at first glance, like a rose with thorns.

This woman is concentratingly operating a tactical computer placed in front of her, her fingers are rapidly operating on the keyboard of the computer, and the maps are constantly changing on the screen of the phone in front of her.

"Lao Tu, this is Xia Ping'an, he will give it to you!" Shao Yan said to the strong man, then looked at Xia Ping'an, "Follow them!"

Xia Ping'an nodded, quickly stepped into the helicopter and sat down beside the big man, while Mo Yan ran to another helicopter not far away.

"Boy, you're not bad, the ability to have clairvoyance is hidden so deeply..." Xia Ping'an just got into the helicopter and sat down. The bald-headed strong man grinned at Xia Ping'an, revealing his mouth full of metal steel teeth, which made people daunting. He also handed Xia Ping'an a noise-cancelling earphone.

Xia Ping'an took over the noise-canceling headphones and put them on. The helicopter opened the hatch. The rotor of the helicopter was already turning, making a huge roar, blowing the lawn on the ground upside down. One by one they ran away.

The helicopter took off quickly, and the other helicopter followed, and then the two helicopters separated in the air, one east and one west, and flew in two different directions.

The residential area became smaller on the ground, and the buildings and vehicles on the road across the city flew quickly underfoot.

Just a few kilometers after flying, another gray-green Falcon helicopter merged with the helicopter in the sky and followed behind the helicopter.

This battle made Xia Ping'an feel relieved.

"Let's go to the place where you found the last traces of the two fleeing demon rats!" Seeing the helicopter gradually flying out of the city, Xia Pingan, who was sitting on the helicopter, was not polite, and went straight into the state, and said to the bald man named Lao Tu, " Also, show me the images of those two devil rats, I want to confirm what they look like!"

"No problem!" Lao Tu said directly, and then said to the short-haired beauty, "Lingshan, let him take a look..."

The short-haired beauty didn't say a word. She moved her finger on the tactical computer in front of her, and turned the display of the tactical computer to Xia Ping'an.

The first image on the computer screen was the image captured by the commando's helmet camera last night.

The background of the picture is green, that is, it was shot under night vision. The commandos followed the blood on the ground and entered a logistics park outside the city, and found two corpses of workers who had been bitten horribly. The screen shook, and several team members entered a warehouse and searched the warehouse.

"Two dead bodies were found. The seventh team entered the warehouse and turned on the thermal imaging sensor. The target may be nearby..."

After a few seconds, the thermal imager found the moving heat source, the team quickly surrounded and approached, and then a violent gunshot sounded. In the middle of the night, the demon rat rushed over and knocked down two commandos. One of the demon rat's sharp claws scratched the throat of one of the commandos, and then quickly fled...

The second image, shot in the air, should come from a drone.

At dawn, the two demon rats had already fled outside the city, running wildly among the trees by the river outside the city. The drone found that their picture was only five seconds long. At first, he glanced at the sky, and then just before the drone strike, the two devil mice jumped into the river, dived underwater, and disappeared.

The third picture is in the wild, the sky has already lit up, the drone photographed the two devil rats landing by the river in the sky, and then they entered a large area of ​​swamps and reeds, and disappeared.

"Okay..." Xia Ping'an nodded, remembering the appearance of the two devil mice, and then stopped talking.

……

Half an hour later, the two Falcon helicopters arrived at the place where the two magic mice last appeared - over the swamp area more than 160 kilometers northwest of Xianghe City. This swamp area covers an area of ​​more than 20 square meters. Kilometers, and far away is an endless mountain range, which is already close to the national park area of ​​Nanyi Province.

Looking down from the helicopter, most of the entire swamp is covered with shade, reeds and weeds. The surrounding mountains are complex, the river valleys are vertical and horizontal, and there are waterfalls and large dense black pine forests. It is also difficult to find the target. .

The helicopter hovered over the swamp, and the bald man looked at Xia Ping'an, "Can you find the traces of those two devil mice?"

Xia Ping'an closed his eyes, and recalled in his heart the appearance of the two devil mice he had just seen.

Just a few seconds later, a picture appeared in Xia Ping'an's mind.

The two devil mice were in an underground cave, motionless, and their consciousness was raised. Xia Ping'an saw a large black pine forest outside the cave of the devil mice, as well as a steaming geothermal hot spring and two A bare mountain top, a large grassy area, and the surrounding terrain gradually became clear.

"Those two devil rats have left the swamp and entered the mountains..." Xia Pingan opened his eyes and pointed in a direction, "It's about 80 kilometers away from here, just in the dark Inside the pine forest!"

"Can it be marked on the electronic map?" the bald man asked.

"Yes!" Xia Ping'an nodded, took the electronic map handed over by the bald man, and after a few glances, he drew a circle on the electronic map, "Probably this location..."
