Throne of Radiance

Chapter 69 The Beginning of Vientiane

Before preparing to make a move, a sudden call disrupted Bai Yi's plan, and he came to the No. [-] Hospital in the suburbs again.

"Bai Yi, you're here! I'd like to trouble you to come..." As soon as I saw Bai Yi, a nurse I knew came up to greet her, and said helplessly what happened in the hospital.

Bai Yi nodded and said hello, and sorted out the current situation: "So, the current situation is that Li Xianke sneaked out of the hospital and never found anyone. Then, you heard from several other patients that he sneaked out of the hospital. Did you mention before going out that you want to discuss important matters with me?"

Several hospital staff in charge of patient safety smiled wryly: "It's almost like this. Because his illness has no tendency to hurt others, he usually has a relatively wide range of activities, and he has stayed in the hospital quietly for so many years. We I didn't expect that he would suddenly escape the monitoring and run out. He was unprepared all of a sudden, and due to his negligence, he disappeared for an hour before we found out..."

Although it is possible to report to the police immediately and ask for help from the police station, if it is not a last resort, the hospital still hopes to find the person by itself first, so as to minimize the impact. The hospital is not good either.

"No, I heard from several other patients that he said before he left that he wanted to find you, so we wanted to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor to see if you know anything..."

The more they talked, the lower their voices became. They just felt that they did something stupid in a hurry. It was clear that their work was not done well, and they actually pinned their hopes of finding someone on this underage high school student in front of them?They couldn't help but blush just thinking about it.

"Well, are you looking for me? I haven't seen him here, and I don't know where he is..." Bai Yi was fine, not bothered by being troubled.Maybe it's because I grew up here. Every time I come back, I feel as close as returning to my own home. If it weren't for the serious mental pollution in the Seventh Hospital, even sleeping at night would be disturbed by continuous mental fluctuations. I'd be happy to live here forever.He muttered to himself, "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Logically speaking, if Li Xianke really wanted to see him, he could have told the doctor and nurse to visit him in the hospital... Unless, that guy couldn't wait for such a short time.

Being in such a hurry, could it be that his great cause of cultivating immortals has made some progress?

Bai Yi rested her chin and was lost in thought.

You know, Bai Yi has just shaken the physical laws of the real world, making the new principles of all things replace the old principles of all things. In the past, cultivating immortals and the like were just nonsense, but now, it is not necessarily that there is no chance of success. real.

Just at this time, Li Xianke made a moth.

Coincidence or...

Thinking about it, Bai Yi curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

Things are getting interesting...

What is the truth, I am afraid that only Li Xianke will find out.

Bai Yi didn't hesitate at the moment: "Can I see the surveillance?"

"This..." Logically speaking, without permission, the hospital's surveillance cannot be easily shown to outsiders, even if Bai Yi is considered half of his own to some extent.

"Take him, and I will go and see together."

A voice sounded at the door of the office. The few people who were talking looked up, with deep surprise on their faces. They almost stood up in a hurry, talking in a hurry.

"Dean!"

"Dean, why are you here?"

"Grandma Dean!"

"If I don't come, who knows that you are so unreliable in handling things, you won't find people by yourself when they disappear, and you actually set your mind on Xiaoyi to trouble a child like him?" The old dean scolded him a few times As soon as the person got through, he called Bai Yi to his side again, with a smile on his face again, "Xiao Yi, next time you don't need to give them face like this and listen to their foolish orders. None of these young people can do anything right now!"

Saying this, she glanced at the others angrily.

Bai Yi smiled obediently at the side: "It's okay, I haven't come back to see the dean's grandma for a long time."

"Good boy, I know that you just miss me, this is not a good place, I wish you would stop coming here a few times." The old dean became kind in a second, and said cheerfully.

Turning her head to look at the others, her expression immediately became severe again, and she opened her mouth to give a lecture.

The old dean is highly respected and has peaches and plums all over the world. Some of them can be regarded as her disciples and grandchildren. In front of her, those who were scolded did not have the courage to speak back at all. The little chicken pecked like rice, and kept promising that he would never dare again next time.

Seeing that they were so obedient, the old dean snorted, pulled Bai Yi and walked out: "Let's go, let's go and check the surveillance together, I want to see what kind of moth Li Daotian is up to..."

Given her age and years of experience in Hospital No. [-], including Bai Yi's biological mother, and Li Daotian, the group of patients who were admitted at a young age, almost all grew up under her nose, and the relationship between them has been established. More than ordinary doctors and patients, closer to elders and younger generations.Therefore, the tone of the old dean's speech seems to be complaining about his son who is out of tune.

They soon saw the hospital surveillance that was called out. The scope of this surveillance probe was the garden behind the dormitory building.In the surveillance footage, a group of patients in hospital gowns walk, chat, bask in the sun and grow mushrooms in the garden in twos and threes.

"Look, Li Daotian is here." Someone pointed to a corner of the surveillance screen and said, "He meditates here almost every day."

In the picture, Li Daotian with long hair and long beard is sitting quietly under a big tree with his heart turned to the sky, his eyes are closed, and his air is relaxed, which really has a bit of fairy air.

As the picture fast-forwards, his movements remain motionless.Until a certain point, he suddenly stood up, ran to a group of patients, danced, and said something excitedly. Obviously, the other patients were confused by him, and they all looked at him as if they were Watch a mental patient.

In the picture, Li Daotian let out a long sigh.

"... Ruzi can't be taught!"

In this deep sigh, deep disappointment was revealed, the tone was full and full of emotion, which caused the other people who were watching the surveillance to be stunned, and then all looked at Bai Yi who made the sound.

"Hey, I'm just helping him with his voice." Bai Yi blinked innocently, "I think that's probably what he meant."

A row of question marks appeared on the foreheads of the others: "???"

... Don't you think there is something wrong with being so in tune with the patient's thinking?

After this little episode, everyone continued to watch the surveillance, only to find that the disappointed Li Daotian left the crowd with an expression of "everyone is drunk and I am alone", and soon disappeared. The direction where he disappeared last was the northwest corner of the surveillance .

The security guard at the hospital who had checked it before quickly explained: "That is the direction leading to the Happiness Orphanage. There is a very high wall. It is a dead end. We have already seen it. It is impossible to climb over that wall. go out."

"The wall near the Happy Orphanage?" The old director was stunned for a moment, trying to recall, as if thinking of something, she suddenly reached out and slapped the table, "This kid, it turned out that he walked through the secret door over there! I know he How did you get out!"

Saying that, the old dean hurried out.

"Go, he can't run far! Most of them are still there!"

The others hurriedly followed, their heads still full of doubts, and they asked as they walked: "Dean, what door are you talking about? There is still a door to go out of that wall? We have searched everywhere, Happy Orphanage I've looked for it too, but I haven't found anyone else..."

"This happened a long time ago. It's normal for you young people not to know—there used to be a dog hole in that wall. After the war broke out, the hospital specially opened the dog hole into a door for the convenience of hiding and transferring the wounded. The small door is a camouflage wall outside, and a small part of the high wall is hollowed out to form a temporary tunnel secret room, which is used to hide people and transfer them in a very concealed way. Back then, even the secret agents of the enemy army did not find out. Woolen cloth!"

Speaking of this, the old dean was a little bit embarrassed, as if recalling many past events for a while, she recalled:

"Later, a part of the hospital was divided to build an orphanage. It just so happened that the wall was kept and not removed. It was also deliberately lengthened to completely cut off the two sides. Until now, the person who knew the secret door had either died or retired. , I almost forgot about it. Anyway, such a hidden door, no one would be able to find it... If someone hadn't slipped out through that door a few years ago, I still can't remember it for a while! "

Having said that, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi is such a perceptive person, he immediately guessed what was going on through the emotional fluctuations emanating from the other party at this moment.

While speaking, several people had already reached the place, and a wall at least seven or eight meters high stood straight in front of them. No one who saw it could not afford to jump over the wall and escape.

"Don't worry, after someone slipped through here once, the hospital blocked the exit on the other side of the wall. If Li Daotian really wants to go from here, he is probably still in the passage of the secret room."

As she said that, the old dean walked to a corner of the wall unhurriedly, squatted down and observed carefully for a while, and then she stretched out her hand to fiddle with a few unremarkable bricks and stones on the ground.

In everyone's amazed eyes, a few bricks and stones suddenly sunk inwards on the high and thick wall, vaguely forming a small portal. People crawl in.

Everyone couldn't help but look in curiously.

at this time--

A hand covered in mud suddenly stretched out from the darkness!

An indistinct voice came faintly: "Save...life..."

"what!"

Several timid young nurses subconsciously screamed.

……

Five minutes later, seeing Li Daotian who was pulled out of the hole by them, his hair, clothes, and beard covered with mud, everyone was speechless: "What are you doing?"

Li Daotian was spread out in big characters on the ground, looking up at the sky with a sad expression: "Suddenly, I felt that the opportunity was approaching, so I went to the secluded place that my old friend said to retreat, but it was a failure!"

"Hey! Youyou heaven, why are you inferior to me!"

The others were even more speechless, automatically ignoring his words.

... This guy obviously locked himself in for some reason after he went in and couldn't get out, what a hell of a lock!

A farce ended in an unexpected way, Li Daotian was taken back to the ward, and he couldn't get out until he cleaned himself up.Bai Yi followed the old dean to the office.Even at the age of retirement, she basically doesn't care about the hospital's affairs, and an office is always reserved for her in the hospital.

"Grandma dean, the person you mentioned earlier who slipped out of the secret door, and the person who told Li Daotian about the existence of the secret door...is it my mother?"

Bai Yi sat down on the sofa and spoke softly.

The old dean was startled, and she paused and nodded: "That's right. I don't know who told Li Daotian, probably only her. Now that you have guessed it, I have nothing to hide. Let me think about it. That was many years ago..."

"At that time, your mother was only about seven or eight years old. I don't know how she managed to find such a small hidden door, so she slipped to the orphanage while everyone was not paying attention."

"...We didn't find out at first, but she bit a college student volunteer in the orphanage and was sent back by the director of the orphanage. We didn't know that she had slipped to the next door. Fortunately, she bit someone's arm and hand Two mouthfuls, nothing serious."

Speaking of this, the old dean shook his head amusedly: "This little girl has been unusually clever since she was a child. I was stunned to understand how she discovered that door!"

"...But it's no wonder that this little girl grew up in the Happy Orphanage since she was born. When she was five years old, the orphanage discovered that the child's reaction was unusual. She often said things that other people couldn't understand. She was found to have a mental illness, so she was admitted to our No. [-] Hospital. After all, the Happy Orphanage is her home in her heart, and it is understandable for her to want to go back to the orphanage."

"... After that, we sealed off the exit of the opposite passage."

It is probably the habit of old people who are old. The old dean babbled a lot, and he inevitably recalled many past events, thinking of the girl who passed away at a young age, and looking at the boy in front of him, who stayed in this world as the other party. The only evidence is that there is a growing sense that things are right and people are wrong.

She was not without emotion: "In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed like this. Xiaoyi, you have grown up so much that you are almost 18 years old. Even the Happy Orphanage next door has to be rebuilt!"

Bai Yi kept smiling obediently and didn't say much.Listening to the old dean's rambling, he recalled the past.

However, what happened to the reconstruction of the Happy Orphanage?

Bai Yi didn't pay attention to this matter.

After asking the doctors in the hospital, I realized that all this had a direct relationship with Bai Yiren himself.

After the kidnapping case planned by Bai Yi, various evidences of crimes were found in the Gong Group, and the property shrank sharply.

His biological daughter Yuan Yao inherited everything from him.

Even though the property of the Gong Group has shrunk, what fell into Yuan Yao's hands was still a considerable amount of wealth. She took in the abandoned little boy Gong Tian who had no blood relationship with her, and then asked someone to rebuild the land that was destroyed by the fire. happy orphanage.

It is estimated that within six months at most, the brand new Happy Orphanage will be reborn on top of the ruins, giving the children a happy and warm home.

Mentioning this matter, the doctors and nurses of the Seventh Hospital couldn't help but praise and sigh: "Miss Yuan is really kind-hearted, she is not at all like her black-hearted father!"

Bai Yi also echoed a few words.

Just as he was eating melons and chatting among a group of doctors and nurses, he suddenly heard Li Daotian's voice.

I heard him greeting from a long distance away, he waved his long sleeves of hospital gown - this is to justify the name of the hospital, it's not that they purposely put this guy in a large hospital gown, it's purely Li Daotian's personal strong request - Bai Yi frantically waved: "Bai Xiaoyou, Bai Xiaoyou, you are coming too!"

"Li Daoyou is alright?" Bai Yi got up and walked over, and greeted him in the way he was used to, "Is there any progress in Taoism?"

"Don't mention it, bad luck, trapped in this place where spiritual energy is cut off, there will be a great opportunity, and it will be useless!" Li Daotian sighed with great regret, and did not forget to glance at the doctor not far away Nurse, it seems like this is a group of bad guys who trapped him here to prevent him from becoming immortal.

Before Bai Yi could offer a few words of comfort, the next moment, Li Daotian's expression became excited again. He approached Bai Yi furtively, lowered his voice and said excitedly, "You must have felt it too, right?"

Bai Yi: "???"

"The world has changed, and the opportunity to get rid of Fan Li is just around the corner. You must have noticed it, little friend!"

Bai Yi: "!!!"

He looked at Li Daotian in the wrong way.

... Is this guy really crazy or fake crazy?Is it pure paranoia that is too serious, or is it a fairy cultivator who was born in the wrong world and the wrong era, so that he was buried?

With his eyesight, he couldn't judge it for a while.

Li Daotian was so excited that he danced and danced, even if he lowered his voice, he couldn't hide his excitement: "It won't work this time, there will be next time, next time, there must be a chance, and the opportunity to practice and become enlightened is right in front of us! Little friend, you and me Why don't you make an appointment—don't pull me, I don't leave, I still have to discuss important matters with Bai Xiaoyou..."

In the middle of his speech, he was caught by the doctors and nurses who came out to find someone: "I haven't finished the examination yet. It's a talent to sneak away by using the toilet..."

"I won't go! I still want to discuss important matters with Bai Xiaoyou! Bai Xiaoyou..." Being "escorted" to move forward, Li Daotian was still struggling, his head was twisted back crazily, and he was chattering endlessly.

In the end, he pressed his whole body against the wall and refused to leave.

His theory of cultivating immortals seems to have undergone a round of upgrades after a period of time, and he has added many words that only he himself understands.

But this does not prevent Bai Yi from being able to keep up with his brain circuits and communicate with each other in a logical manner.

This made other people gradually look at Bai Yi strangely.

Until he was locked into the inspection office, Li Daotian was still pawing at the door and sighing long: "Last time, little friend Bai, you said that the road to ascension was broken. I see that the world has undergone major changes today, and the passage between the two realms must be opened. It's a pity that I am trapped here." , not allowed to ascend, and I don't know if there are immortals who enter the mortal world and grant me eternal life!"

Bai Yi couldn't help laughing.

He blinked his eyes: "Maybe...it's really possible!"

While speaking, the illusory card flashed past his fingertips.

At the same time, thousands of miles away from Yuanyang City, the top of Kunshan Mountain, which is known as the highest peak of the blue star, is covered with snow.

At this moment, a group of people are climbing up the mountain path on the most difficult and dangerous peak in the eyes of the world. The higher they go, the thinner the air is, and the temperature drops suddenly.

This mountaineering group is fully equipped, with different hair colors and skin colors, and wearing team uniforms that symbolize different countries. They are distributed on the mountain roads of Kunshan like an arithmetic progression, as if they include mountaineering teams from all over the world. They are participating in the global live broadcast of Kunshan Climbing challenge, want to create a new world record.

Under the lens of the satellite live broadcast, the picture is exceptionally clear.Close-up, long-range, different camera angles are different.

Looking down from the sky, on the snow-covered mountain road, they are as small as a row of ant-like black spots.

Because it is related to the challenge of the world record, at this time, there are not a few people from all over the world watching this global live broadcast.

From time to time, barrage scrolls across the screen.

[Hiss, I feel cold through the computer screen.I couldn't help but hugged my quilt tightly and shivered. ]

[come on!Hope to see the birth of a new world record! ]

[The satellite over there overlooks it from such a beautiful angle, it feels like looking down on the blue star from outer space. ]

[Wait, what is that!Like a shooting star? ]

At a certain moment, above the sky, there seemed to be a spot of light that broke through the layers of clouds and fell rapidly from the sky.

In the pictures taken by the satellite, the clouds in the sky seemed to be burning due to sharp friction, and the streamer wrapped the burning stratus clouds, falling from the sky like lightning.

Suddenly, the lens was completely white.

After a few breaths, dense white mist rose into the sky at the five mountain ranges scattered all over the world, turning into billowing air columns, which shot straight into the sky like howling wolf smoke.

At this time, people all over the world can't see this scene.

They are staring up, looking up at the sky.

It was as if a violent cold wind suddenly swept across the entire surface of the azure star. The extremely strong cold air made the water mist condense and turned into a fluttering snow that covered the whole world.

And in the zoomed-in shot of the satellite live broadcast, the meteor-like object flashed away in the snow-white sky, showing a faint outline.

In front of the screen, countless people exclaimed.

"Sword! It's actually a sword!"

——One sword comes from outside, and the world is full of frost.
