Inside The Black Mist Chapter 119: Retirement (seeking collection)
In Lao Xu's room.
"Here, these are for you." Lao Xu pointed to the potted plants on the shelf, "Anyway, I have planted some at home, and I can't put them back. It just so happens that your side is still empty, so I just give it to you." As a decoration, it would be nice to have more greenery in the room.”
He enthusiastically pulled Tianyang to the bookshelf in the corner: "I don't have much use for the books on it, so I'll give them to you together. There is also the "Analysis of Inverse Boundary Characters", you don't need it either." I’m back now. If you’re free, just go to my house and have a meal or something.”
Tianyang frowned and said, "You haven't said yet, why did you leave so suddenly."
Old Xu scratched his head, leaned against the window, looked outside and said, "It can't be said suddenly, I wanted to retire a long time ago. It's just that I haven't had a suitable opportunity before, but a few days ago, the Tianqing Academy Bian has already hired me as a lecturer. I think, since there is already a retreat, there is no need to continue hanging in the night walker."
"Isn't it better to give up the position and give it to young people like you?"
Tianyang felt that this should not be what Lao Xu really thought.
Old Xu looked at the sky above the fortress: "I am no longer young, and I have long lost the vigor of my youth. I am not like our captain, who is carefree. In fact, since I came back from Huanggu Town last time, I have started to retreat. I agree."
"Those things are terrible, Tianyang. When I was chased by that tree demon in Huanggu Town, I almost thought I would never come back. Do you know what I was thinking at that time?"
How could Tianyang know, so he shook his head.
Old Xu laughed, crow's feet appeared in the corner of his eyes: "I was thinking, what would happen to my wife and daughter if I died? Especially my daughter, she is still so young, I haven't hugged her enough yet. So, I'm scared..."
The man's shoulders shook slightly: "I'm very scared, if there is another time, I really can't come back."
Tianyang didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only pat Lao Xu on the shoulder to show comfort.
Old Xu rubbed his eye sockets, wiped it on his face, and smiled again: "Although it made that kid Cangdu very angry, but at least he doesn't have to worry about it in the future. Tianyang, aren't you going to bless me?"
Tianyang laughed: "Then I wish you a long life, so that I can go to your place often."
"You know how to eat rice!" Old Xu laughed, very happy. Just in the eyes, there seems to be a bit of loss hidden. Perhaps in his heart, he didn't want to leave Nightcrawler that much.
Old Xu left.
His room became empty, but a lot of things came out of Tianyang's room.
Close the door, the boy didn't rush to clean up, he walked to a terminal in the corner.
He tapped on the screen of the terminal, entered his passcode, and logged into Nightcrawler's internal network.
After connecting to the intranet, Tianyang opened a query window and entered the word "Su Lie".
Hanging his fingers on the screen for a moment, he tapped down.
The words [Querying] were clearly displayed on the screen, but after a while, [No Record] was displayed.
Tianyang frowned slightly. Although the uniform on Su Lie's body was slightly different from that of Nightcrawler, it was indeed the uniform of Nightcrawler. How could it not be recorded?
Could it be that his file was deleted?
Still say...
Tianyang inquired again about "Breaker", and this time the reply was that the authority was not enough to inquire.
In this way, he doesn't know whether Su Lie's file has been deleted, or is it in the [Breaker] system? This raises another question, what is a Breaker?
Perhaps, this question can be asked by others.
But if this is not something that I should know now, then if I ask, it may arouse suspicion.
Tianyang thought for a moment, and decided not to explore this issue for the time being. When he was at Yunxiang Base, he also planned to let Su Lie's matter go first, so as not to attract the attention of some high-level officials in the fortress.
The next day, Tianqing Academy had Liu Jinglin's class, and Tianyang went to listen to the lecture. This section Liu Jinglin was talking about the military civilization of the reverse world.
According to the evidence collected so far, Nijie, at least this No. 127 Nijie has enough military strength.
But there are no obvious traces of war in the reverse world, which shows that their military power is more of a deterrent. This is another enviable place, a world without war is really very beautiful.
When get out of class was over, Liu Jinglin seemed to have discovered Tianyang early in the morning, nodded to him, and gestured for Tianyang to follow him.
Tianyang came to the office with him.
After closing the door, Liu Jinglin asked his assistant to pour two glasses of water in: "Can I ask, why do you want to learn the reverse world characters?"
Tianyang replied seriously: "We often have to go in and out of the reverse world, so I think if I can understand their characters, it may be helpful in action."
He remembered the video left by Su Lie. Wouldn't it be better if Su Lie didn't know what information was recorded on the disaster compass? So when he said this sentence, the boy was actually not so sure.
Liu Jinglin didn't hear it, but instead glanced at Tianyang with admiration: "Your idea is very good, in fact, our research on the civilization of the reverse world depends to a large extent on explorers like you, who brought back from the world over there. All kinds of valuable things.”
"Unfortunately, in many cases, not all explorers know the characters of the reverse world, so they often miss some precious and valuable items. When we scholars find out and then enter the reverse world to explore, we often have already found them. Not anymore."
"So, do you have a way to learn?"
Tianyang nodded his head and said: "A friend gave me a copy of "Analysis of Inverse World Text."
Liu Jinglin showed a smile, which looked very delicate: "It turned out to be that book, what a coincidence, it was written by me."
Tianyang also laughed: "In this case, I have to read it carefully."
Liu Jinglin laughed: "Actually, reverse-bounded characters are easy to learn, at least, the square-like fonts we know now are not difficult to master."
"This kind of reverse-boundary characters has a strong expressiveness. They are like a simplified pictographic symbol. We use patterns, meanings, and references to compare the reverse-boundary characters with ours. After that, I figured out the meaning of most of the words."
"Of course, there may be deviations in meaning at some point. However, the understanding of the reverse world text has accelerated our research on that strange world."
There was an inappropriate knock on the door, and Liu Jinglin's office assistant opened the door: "Ms. Liu, your wife is here."
Hearing this, Tianyang knew that Liu Jinglin was busy with other things, so he got up and said goodbye: "Then I won't bother Teacher Liu. I will come to listen to the teacher next time when he has a class."
"Okay, I'll see you off." When Liu Jinglin sent Tianyang out, a dignified woman with a beautiful appearance walked in.
Presumably this is Liu Jinglin's wife, Tianyang nodded and said goodbye.
Just after leaving Tianqing Academy, Han Shu received a notice requesting all members to return to the team building, and a new task was issued.
Tianyang returned to the team building, bypassed the partition, and saw that Han Shu and others had arrived.
It was Lao Xu's chair that was empty, and the young man couldn't help but sigh.
Han Shu put his legs on the table, and his face was much calmer than yesterday, at least he couldn't see the depression caused by Lao Xu's retirement.
He still had a cigarette in his mouth, and announced the content of the mission: "I just received the mission from Four Eyes, and the fortress is going to organize a joint operation."
"Joint action?" Cang Du's eyes lit up, "How many years has there been no joint action?"
Han Shu hummed: "It's been many years, but this time it's mainly because of the matter of Huanggu Town. After our report went up, the higher-ups of the fortress attached great importance to this matter. They felt that those black princes in Huanggu Town should not be left alone. , so as not to breed a new king for them."
"So, the fortress decided to join hands with the Nightcrawler and Storm Corps to send enough troops to raze the entire Huanggu Town. The detailed content and strategic plan will be sent to your personal communication machine later, remember to check it .”
Tianyang raised his hand: "Captain, when will you act?"
"Three days later." Han Shu brushed off the ashes, "At that time, a large number of people will pass the high-speed train and gather at the lighthouse base. So we have to go in batches. The date for our team has been set, which is three days later. "
Ji Yu took a look at the empty chair: "Did Xu get wind of it?"
Cang Du snorted and said, "Is there even a need to talk about it? Otherwise, why don't you retire sooner or later, but choose this time!"
Only then did Tianyang know why Lao Xu had to retire early. It turned out that he had received wind of a joint operation.
Han Shu patted the table: "Okay, okay, Old Xu is free to leave or stay. He has served Nightcrawler for more than 20 years. The fortress has regulations, and he has served for more than 15 years. You are free to opt out."
"Old Xu chose to retire at this time, he has his own difficulties. No one can blame him, including me!"
Although Cang Du didn't quite agree with Han Shu's statement, he didn't say anything more.
Han Shu pointed at him and said, "You, take Tianyang to the material warehouse and ask them to take out the list of strategic materials for Tianyang to choose."
Cang was unhappy and said, "Why is it me again? Can't Ji Yu go?"
Ji Yu smiled but did not answer.
Han Shu threw the cigarette **** at him: "Stinky boy, go if you are told, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
He looked at Tianyang again: "You won't use up your contribution points, kid?"
Tianyang shook his head.
"That's good." Han Shu said lazily, "For a big operation like this, the resources allocated are definitely not enough. If you want to make a fortune in this operation, you'd better go to the warehouse and use contribution points Exchange for some extra supplies."
Cang Du closed his eyes and said: "What kind of extra supplies does he need for a rank 1, don't worry about losing blood, and it will be too late to cry."
"Why are you still sitting here, kid?" Han Shu picked up the ashtray on the table and was about to throw it over, "Will you go or not? This action is not for you!"
How can an aspiring young man who wants to earn 100,000 points to be famous, let go of such a big move. At present Cang reluctantly stood up, pointed at Tianyang and said, "Come with me, do what I say. Don't ask, don't talk to me, don't even say a word!"
Ji Yu rolled his eyes: "I'm sick!"
