Codex of Powers

Gao Xia looked at Pusheng, anxious in his heart, but watched the person slowly approaching and appeared in front of him, he didn't even call out, and it was too late to remind him, he was so anxious that he was sweating.At first, he thought that he might encounter some troubles, but at the second when the person appeared, Pusheng quickly turned a few pages, then quickly put down the book, and walked over.When Pusheng left, he was thinking about the content of the book just now. The time was too fast, and he didn't have time to read it at all, but he saw something that caught his attention when he opened the content in the last few seconds.Those who record the legendary creature, the enigmatic creature.

Those people had already walked over, Gao Xia saw that they were all dressed in black, with serious expressions on their faces.Gao Xia turned to look at Pusheng, fortunately Pusheng had put down the book a second before they appeared, and walked over with a calm expression.Gao Xia breathed a sigh of relief quietly, Pusheng really made him feel uneasy.

The people who had come had stopped, stood in front of them and separated into two rows, and then walked out alone.This is a bald old man dressed in simple gray long fir, with hands behind his back and firm eyes. He is the legendary Bald Li.The old man didn't look at them, and sat directly on the chair in the middle carved with complicated patterns.After sitting down, he lowered his eyes to look at them, and said, "Yes. Sit down."

Zimeng cupped his fists as a greeting, then pulled a chair and sat down.Gao Xia looked around, the two rows of people standing on both sides like bodyguards didn't have any expression on their faces, they were fierce and did not show any sign of welcome.Pusheng came over with a grin, stood behind Zimeng, and looked at them curiously. Gao Xia also walked over and stood behind Zimeng. It seemed that the two of them were also like bodyguards, like the kind of temporary On the street, I randomly found two unlucky young people who hadn't eaten well for several days and nights and were so hungry that they tricked them into using two steamed buns as sandbags.

Zimeng smiled, and spoke first: "Boss Li, I'm sorry, I'm here this time, and I want to trouble you with something."

"Yes. I promised." Boss Li who was sitting on it thought for a while, then smiled and said.

"Then let's talk about it first. Just follow what we said at the beginning." Zimeng also smiled.He took out a box from his bag, took it out, and spread out the things in his hands.Gao Xia and Pu Sheng leaned forward to take a look. It was a black ball with a metallic texture, and many patterns were engraved on the spherical surface, which was hollowed out.Like a black, beautiful and exquisite cage, there is a mysterious thing inside the cage, but Gao Xia doesn't know what's inside.But this doesn't feel good to him, it's full of danger, but it feels like a very rare thing.

Zimeng stretched out his hand and spread it completely. The black ball in his hand stayed quietly in his slender hand. I don't know if this quiet atmosphere affected him. Gao Xia felt that the thing was spreading around. There is an aura, an aura that can swallow up this space.

Boss Li raised his head slightly, looked at him, moved his gaze to the black ball in Zimeng's hand, and stopped.He froze for two seconds, then turned his head to look at the person standing next to him, and directed him with his eyes.A tall man standing beside nodded, and then walked down quickly.

The tall man stopped next to Zimeng, stared at the black ball, and when he was about to reach for it, Zimeng immediately closed his hand and squeezed it tightly back.

Zimeng smiled and said, "Boss Li, you have already seen the things. I think you already understand whether they are true or false. There is no need to verify them."

Boss Li also smiled, and said boldly: "That's natural. We have to let go of [-] hearts just because of your name, Zimeng. I was rude just now."

"It's okay. Boss Li doesn't need to be so polite. Then I will show all my things to Boss Li. Then... Boss Li will also show me the things I want? At least let me I know if it's really Boss Li's place." Zimeng said unhurriedly.

There was a hint of unhappiness on Boss Li's face, but it disappeared immediately. He changed into a smiling face and said, "What Zimeng said is true, that's natural." Then he looked at the people next to him and waved his hand lightly , smiled brightly, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get it now."

Soon the person who went to the inner room came out, holding a box in his hand. It was a lacquered red nanmu box, which was exquisitely made, and it was equipped with a lock.The man took the box, opened it, and put it in front of Boss Li.Boss Li glanced at it, then waved his hand, indicating that he could go.

The man holding the box stepped back slowly, then walked to Zimeng's side, opened it carefully, and presented it in front of her eyes.Zimeng took a look, nodded, and said, "Yes. Yes." Gao Xia and Pusheng also hurried over and took a look.I saw a small square box inside, and the material was unclear.Gao Xia felt a little strange in his heart, put another box inside the box?I don't know what kind of expensive box it is.Gao Xia looked at Pusheng, and Pusheng also looked at Gao Xia, with his eyes wide open, expressing that he couldn't figure it out either.

The man holding the box stepped back and stood upright respectfully.Boss Li looked at Zimeng and nodded, smiled more happily, and said: "Then you have seen Zimeng now. If everyone is satisfied, let's make it so. It's rare to meet such a bold person, Zimeng You are really a hero. I admire you so much, I feel inferior."

Zimeng also smiled politely, and said, "Boss Li, what's the matter? Zimeng is too flattering. How can Zimeng compare with you in terms of boldness. You are No. 1 in boldness, and your reputation spreads far and wide." Zimeng said I hugged and fisted together as a thank you.

The man holding the box standing on the side came over at this moment, and opened the box carefully for Zimeng to take a look.After Wang Zimeng nodded, he covered it and handed it to her.Zimeng also took out the black ball and handed it over.

Just when they both stretched out their right hands holding the object, there was still a distance of one meter between them, and they both grabbed the object with their left hands at the same speed.In such an instant, the entire exchange process was completed.Gao Xia looked a little dumbfounded, he was still a little unaccustomed to their speed so fast that he couldn't even blink his eyes.

Zimeng immediately took a few steps back, between Gao Xia and Pusheng, then quickly opened the box, took a look at the square box, touched it everywhere, and then put it back.He smiled and said, "Thank you, Boss Li." At the same time, the man who got the ball quickly returned to Boss Li.Boss Li grabbed it and took a look, then felt relieved and stuffed it into his pocket.

Boss Li raised his head, looked at Zimeng and said, "I still have to thank you. Let me get what I have been wanting for so many years. As expected of Zimeng, it really is not easy." He gave a thumbs up.

Zimeng smiled and said, "Boss Li has praised you, and Zimeng is too guilty to take it as a compliment. Thank you, Boss Li."

"No thanks, no thanks. We hope to cooperate with each other in the future." Boss Li said with a smile.

"That's natural." Zimeng clasped his fists again and said, "I still have something to do with Zimeng, so don't bother me."

"Then I'll trouble Zimeng to come here in person. I won't send you off soon."

"You're welcome. Excuse me." After finishing speaking, Zimeng looked at Gao Xia and Pusheng, indicating that they should leave. Then Zimeng walked out quickly, and Gao Xia and Pusheng also followed.

Boss Li looked to the side, pointed out with his finger, and the man standing aside nodded and followed him out.

A man led them out of the gate, and then whispered a few words to the middle-aged man driver who was waiting outside to drive them when they arrived.After speaking, the man left, and the middle-aged driver came out to greet him, and said with a smile, "Let me take you back this time, please get in the car." Then he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

Zimeng glanced at him, expressionless, walked over, and got into the car he opened the door.Gao Xia and Pusheng had no choice but to follow and sat behind.

The car started quickly.Go through the square and forest where you came from.The scenery along the way is very beautiful.Zimeng didn't speak, Gao Xia seemed to be affected by the atmosphere, and didn't know what to say, Pusheng also became quiet.All the way the car was silent.

After leaving Boss Li's house, the driver drove another way, and then turned back and said, "Sorry, everyone! I can't take you back to school now, I can only send you to the exit, and I have to trouble you to take a car back home Well, it's not far from your school, and you should be there in 10 minutes."

"It's okay. When you get to the ground, just stop and leave us alone." Zimeng said.

There was a hint of embarrassment on the middle-aged man's face. He wanted to say something, but he held back and said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, everyone. I'm sorry!"

"It's okay. Anyway, we have other things to do when we get out of this door." Zimeng said.

"Well. Okay! Then you can do your own work." The middle-aged man said with a slight smile.

keep driving.After driving for another ten minutes, I still haven't reached the exit.Gao Xia became a little impatient. He didn't know if it was the reason for the silence. Anyway, he felt that it had been much longer than when he came.After a few more minutes, they finally got out of this meaningless 'private compound', then drove onto the expressway, then entered the outer ring, drove for a few more minutes, and finally came to some ordinary residential areas.

Looking at those high-rise concrete buildings, Gao Xia was a little confused, and felt a little confused. Are these really buildings in the same city?

The middle-aged driver stopped at an intersection and said, "You can take the No. 16 bus to go back here, and it's quick to take a taxi, and it will be there in 10 minutes. Please take care, everyone." The middle-aged driver smiled. He waved and drove away.
