Screaming Cycle

After breakfast, Ren Jianmo handed over all the packing work to the artificial intelligence. He came to the bookcase and took a copy of "Nuclear Physics" that he was interested in. He sat at the table, said nothing, and looked through it silently. stand up.

At 9:30, the black cat came out of the corner again, like a competent alarm clock, and said:

"There is still half an hour left before your scheduled appointment."

Ren Jian silently put down his book, glanced at the newly added clock on the wall, and then glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window unconsciously.

He doesn't know why he cares so much.

"..."

After a while, he still couldn't help asking:

"Is that person still there?"

Black cat second answer:

"Here I am."

Ren Jianmo: "..."

He felt an unprecedented anxiety.

Somehow, he thought of a Munbird that he had raised a long time ago.

At that time, he had just turned eighteen, and someone in charge came to him for advice and asked him if he had any plans to move out.

As precious assets and important talents of the Institute, they have always adopted a very open attitude. Of course, Ren Jianmo has the right to choose the life he wants.

However, Ren Jian silently refused, and still lived in an apartment provided to him by the research institute.

So the person in charge thought for a while, changed the direction of the question, and asked him if he planned to keep a pet.

In the educational cognition of the institute, proper contact with pets can help cultivate a healthy personality.

In fact, the girl who was born in the same batch as Ren Jianmo and was the only girl who stayed in the research institute had raised a Labrador with excellent appearance early on. In the appraisal of personality and mental state, he can always get a more "combined" and "healthy" evaluation than Ren Jianmo.

The person in charge felt that it was time to encourage this young man who seemed too calm and rational to be like a robot to raise a pet-at least it would make him look "human".

However, Ren Jianmo still rejected his proposal.

Whether it's an arrogant cat, a loyal and caring big dog, or a soft and cute rabbit, Ren Jianmo is not interested.

He didn't hate pets, he was simply not interested.

When Ren Jianmo was twelve years old, on the advice of a psychologist, he adopted a hamster from the experimental animal center.

The little hamster has a very good personality. He is cowardly and timid. When held in his hand, his four feet will tremble and tremble, which perfectly interprets what is meant by "weak, pitiful and helpless."

At that time, Ren Jianmo was able to clearly describe the cuteness of this hamster, such as the snow-white hair, the soft hand when it was fried, the watery black bean eyes, the pink tongue that appeared when drinking water, etc. , Are just above the aesthetic cuteness of most people.

But Ren Jianmo still couldn't feel the love and excitement that normal people should have when they see cute things.

He keeps the little hamsters in a cage, like finishing his work, feeds them regularly every day, and cleans the cage every week. He is a competent master.

But it's just that.

About half a year later, one day, the hamster opened the lid of the cage by himself, escaped, and disappeared without a trace.

After Ren Jianmo, who was just a child, found out that the little hamster was missing, he didn't even try to find it.

He just quietly packed the empty cage, and packed it into the trash can along with more than half of the remaining feed and sawdust.

Ren Jianmo really didn't hate that hamster.

But the "pet" that has been kept for half a year, in his opinion, is still no different from the hundreds of hamsters in the experimental animal center. It is just an ordinary animal. He has worked hard, but still cannot bet on it. emotion-.

He even forgot that he hadn't even given a name to the hamster.

Now, six years later, he is still the same as himself when he was a child. He doesn't hate any living thing, but he doesn't like it either.

Ren Jianmo thought he would always be like this.

Until one rainy day, a white-haired and red-billed Munbird fell on the window sill of his laboratory.

It was a midsummer afternoon. Lead clouds were densely covered with thunder, and the rain was heavy. The dense rain crackled on the windowpanes and quickly formed a curtain of water.

That manbird hit the window sill of Ren Jianmo's laboratory in this spooky weather.

At that moment, the hair ball was soaked all over, hiding in the corner of the window, trembling against the small piece of cover on the top of the head, and could not hold on to it.

For some reason, Ren Jianmo opened the window and reached out to fish the wet bird into the house.

It was obviously a small bird that had been raised by others, and was shocked by the thunderstorm. It was curled up in Ren Jianmo's hands, neither resisting nor struggling, just so obediently motionless, as if resigning. Let this strange human do whatever he wants.

Ren Jianmo didn't intend to deal with it.

He just put the drenched Munbird in the tissue box on the desk and let it fend for itself.

But the little guy who had been battered by wind and rain for a long time, who was dying, survived.

Moreover, Wenniao settled down in Ren Jianmo's laboratory.

As a host who can only be described as "indifferent", Ren Jianmo's attitude towards this uninvited guest is still the same as that of a hamster.

This time, he didn't even bother to prepare a cage, so he let the bird move in the open space, and didn't even close the window, just waiting for it to leave when he wanted to.

But Wenniao never flew away.

Not only did it not leave, it was also very spiritual.

Every day, when Ren Jianmo changes his clothes and enters the inner area from the open outer room, Munnia will stop in front of the glass separating the inner and outer rooms, tilting his head and staring at the owner on the opposite side of the glass.

Occasionally, when Ren Jian silently raised his head and glanced in the direction of the glass, the bird would appear very excited, pecking at the glass with his bright red beak "toughly", as if he wanted to arouse him. Notice.

Ren Jianmo has forgotten when he started to feel "it's not just a bird" feeling for that bird.

Before he knew it, Ren Jianmo had regarded this little guy who not only watched him work every day, but also pecked the glass to attract his attention as a general existence of "friends" or "family."

He began to carefully arrange the daily feed and drinking water for the bird. He would focus on the knowledge of bird breeding and prepare a large and comfortable bird cage for it.

But Ren Jianmo still didn't close the window. He thought, maybe his little bird will want his own freedom someday...

...

Time has proved that the bird picked up by Ren Jianmo on a rainy day has not flown away.

It stayed with the owner for five years and two months until the end of his life.

After Wenniao died, Ren Jianmo didn't keep any pets. He felt that he was still the same as before. He didn't hate animals, but he didn't like them either.

Only occasionally, when he turned his head and looked at the piece of glass separating the inner and outer chambers, he suddenly felt that he would see a bird pecking at the glass, that's all.

...

Now, somehow, when Ren Jian silently thinks of the curly-haired boy staying in front of the apartment, he will inexplicably think of the literary bird he has raised, and then feel an indescribable sense of boredom.

He put aside his book, stood up for a moment, walked a few steps to the closet, and changed into his clothes for going out.

"Clean up the room."

Ren Jianmo quickly got dressed and confessed to the black cat, then came to the elevator and pressed the button to go downstairs.

&&&&&&&&&

After Ji Yu learned of Ren Jianmo's true identity from Bing Shi, his first reaction was unbelievable, and the second reaction was that something must be wrong.

After staying in "Peach Blossom Spring" for half a year, from F grade difficulty to S grade difficulty, Ji Xiaoniao is no longer the old Wu Xia Amon, and the rules that should be known are almost explored.

Participants are not characters in online games, and you cannot simply click on a person to view the control panel, so whether it is a rookie or a senior player, it is difficult to distinguish easily by just looking at it.

In fact, the lowest difficulty level F allows participants who have had one or two rounds of experience to appear in the same "world" as a novice who is completely confused.

When Ji Tuan was in the "City of Ashes", he was almost killed by Jie who planned to pit the newcomer.

However, when they return to the "Peach Blossom Spring", they will immediately be able to distinguish who is a rookie and who is a veteran.

Because it is different from the seniors, the third of each month is the day when novices set foot in the "Peach Blossom Spring" for the first time.

After mastering this law, those gangs targeting low-level actors will definitely arrange for headhunters to wait at the entrance of the Colosseum on the third day of each month, lobbying newcomers one by one to join their gangs.

At the time, Ji Tuan had also received such treatment, and he naturally remembered clearly that when he stepped into the "Peach Blossom Spring", it was February 3 on the calendar.

And that day, Ren Jianmo returned to the "Peach Blossom Spring" just like him.

If it is true as Bing Hao said, Ren Damei in his family is the strongest "King Lanling" whose name has climbed to the top of the obelisk in the legend, then how could he be like Ji Tuan and Mo Tiangen at a fair price? , Together with the newcomers, they did not return to "Peach Blossom Spring" until February 3rd.

When Ji Tuan raised this question like Bingyu, the white-haired young man sitting next to him shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"However, I'm sure that Mr. Ren is the'Lanling King'."

Bing Hao still insisted on his point of view.

Ji Lu: "Why?"

Bing Hao gave his own evidence, "The weapon I gave him is called'Life of All Things'."

He replied:

"Anyone who has stayed in the'Peach Blossom Spring' long enough will know that it is from the'Lanling King'."

Ji Shun listened very carefully.

He knows how important a handy weapon is to the improvement of strength, just like his "solitude", Ji Xiaoniao can hardly imagine what he would do without it.

Compared with Ren Jianmo's combat level, the "Wind Knife and Frost Sword" he used before seemed too ordinary.

Ji Lu has indeed been considering helping Ren Jian silently find a better weapon. However, Bing Hao took out the "Life of All Things" one step ahead of him, and treated them as soliciting meeting gifts, and generously gave them to Ren Jianmo.

So he thought of a possibility:

"In addition to the random illusion of form, does the'being of all things' have other special attributes?"
