Four seven-sided crystals
Not far away, he saw a small hotel he liked.
"Accommodation!" He knocked on the front of the reception table.
The waitress who was sitting bored on the chair and napping quickly got up and looked at Lin Jixin, whose face was blocked by a wet cloak, with a hint of vigilance in her sleepy eyes.
Lin Jixin handed over a few bills in his throat: "Single room."
Under normal circumstances, I must register my identity first. Lin Jixin’s expression was too obvious. The waiter couldn’t help but hesitate until he added two more bills of the same denomination: “Your.”
This time, the waiter finally took the money, put two bills into his pocket, lowered his head and took out a bunch of keys from the drawer: "No. 17, Second Floor."
The room was on the corner of the second floor, a little wet and tidy. He took off his wet clothes and threw them into the dryer. He took a hot shower and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, he was woken up by the sounds outside.
It turned out that it was already past eight o'clock in the morning. The rain stopped, but the clouds became thicker and darker. The sky was as dark as at night. What made them even more uneasy was that these people immediately discovered that communication tools such as mobile phones had no signal and couldn't help but scream.
Lin Jixin was woken up by them.
These people were panicked for a while, and I don’t know who suddenly said “turn on the TV”, so they all realized it and ran away and went back to their room to watch the news.
After turning over, Lin Jixin re-entered his sweet dream in the panic and noisy sound. Entering a state of rest anytime and anywhere is no longer a skill for him, but an instinct. As long as he is willing, he can still sleep even if he is fired around him.
He knew very well that it was still early and the real opening was noon.
It was almost noon, and he got up and opened the curtains. It was still dark outside, and a long and dedicated street lights illuminated the streets.
He sat down to eat the portable food he brought before, and turned on the TV casually.
The local radio station was broadcasting on the TV. Several well-dressed professionals were sitting in front of the studio and analyzing why it was dark.
People who speak like this are unwilling to believe in nonsense. Lin Jixin is of course not interested in listening. His attention is more on the screen. When the signal interference-like snowflakes and black and white stripes continue to appear, increasing until they fill the entire TV screen. He swallows the last bite of food in his mouth, puts on a mask, and opens the door.
At the same time, the lights like starry seas in the house, on the streets, and even further away suddenly went out without warning, and there were sharp screams around. You could also hear someone shouting "The World's Doomsday". After a while, a sharp sound of glass breaking came from not far downstairs, as if it could be contagious. Another sound, another sound, one after another, and there were more "The World's Doomsday is Coming" sounds...
If the abnormal weather before only caused panic, when the whole city fell into darkness, the sin hidden under order began to emerge.
Walking from the street to the end of the street, in less than half an hour, Lin Jixin had seen several waves of people, covering their faces, holding flashlights or simple torches, and were looting street shops.
He knew very well that this was just the beginning. Dongze City had a permanent population of five million, and the permanent police force was only a few thousand. When the auxiliary means of modernization were completely ineffective and the cost of crime was so low that it could be ignored, the riots would only grow bigger and bigger. Under the current circumstances, he would not be noticed by anything he did, which is why he must have waited until now.
After this formation, Lin Jixin's eyes had basically adapted to the darkness. He turned a corner and accelerated his feet a little further until a tall overpass appeared not far ahead. His target was the forty-first-story office building next to him.
He remembered very clearly that a small piece of "seven-edged crystal" fell on this office building. Unfortunately, the pearl fell into a deserted place. After a week, it was discovered that the energy contained in it had already spread out. Back then, the instructor who guided them used this piece of "seven-edged crystal" as a sample, so he knew so clearly.
It is located on a major traffic road, so the bridge and the streets ahead were blocked by stagnant traffic. Most drivers had already gotten out of the car in despair, and a few people stood beside the cars, waiting for the impossible power to recover. They smoked or cursed in annoyance, and the light and dark cigarette butts reflected their blue faces.
A cry suddenly sounded on the side of the road, and was stopped by something halfway, then roared and fought. Finally, as the man of the man and woman were knocked to the ground, several men with faces hurriedly ran into the empty building on the side of the road with the struggling young woman. They knew what the group of beastly guys were thinking, but no one paid attention to it.
Lin Jixin had no intention of becoming a savior, but they happened to walk into the office building he was going to, so he followed him in.
"I want to die?" As soon as he entered the door, he saw two people blocking in front of him, one of them roaring at him.
He raised his hand.
"Bang!"
The man fell to the ground when he spoke.
These thugs were actually ordinary citizens a few hours ago. When the gun fired, they were scared to death. The woman threw her behind and disappeared quickly in the depths of the corridor. The man who was still standing in front of Lin Jixin was frightened and stood there motionlessly.
Lin Jixin ignored it and passed by him directly. As soon as he walked over, the man collapsed to the ground with a "gulp".
When I arrived at the stairs, I just opened the homemade flashlight that I had prepared early, and a sudden step sounded behind me, but the girl who was dragged in was rushing to chase me.
"It's you!" she was surprised.
Only then did Lin Jixin realize that it was the girl who asked him to take a ride when she got off the bus yesterday. She looked so beautiful and ran around everywhere. No wonder someone was so mean to see her.
What he didn't expect was that she actually made her recognize him from her clothes, and she frowned secretly, and he began to climb the stairs.
"Wait for me, wait for me!" The girl hesitated and chased after him again.
Of course, her physical strength cannot be compared with Lin Jixin. After only a while, she was pulled behind.
As if she didn't hear her crying call, Lin Jixin stepped upstairs.
He climbed to the 23rd floor in one breath, and Lin Jixin felt too tired to bear it now. He leaned on the stairs and gasped. When his breath stabilized a little, he pushed open the door of the stairwell and walked into the building.
He walked and looked until the nameplate of "Yason Information Investment Company" appeared.
It seems that these people were scared, and they didn't even close the door, and they lay around the tables and chairs.
Stepping on the ground, he came to the general manager's room with deep and shallow steps.
This is locked, and I tentatively reached out, but fortunately, it was not locked.
As soon as the door opened, a familiar breath came to his face. Lin Jixin felt that every pore in his body was relaxed in an instant. His originally tired body was immediately full of vitality. Although it was just a resonance, the feeling of this power returning to his body made him take a deep breath intoxication.
After scanning his eyes, he soon found a small piece of crystal the size of a little finger on his desk. The dark blue energy light made his eyes burn.
Before he could make the next move with joy, the low roar at his feet made him stiff.
He looked down carefully, and at his feet, a brown Scottish Collie was gnawing at him.
It should be the general manager's pet, but I didn't expect that forgetting here became an obstacle.
He stepped back carefully, and as soon as he left the room, the dog sat back.
If he wants to change his place, he would not take this dog seriously, but he would never underestimate any creature standing within the energy range of the "Seven-edge Crystal". As long as he is affected by the "Seven-edge Crystal", any creature may undergo earth-shaking changes. Just look at this dog breed that should have become muscle bulging, and you will know that it is difficult to deal with.
There was no time to prepare, the longer the dog would be stronger. After a moment of pondering, he took off his coat, pulled it into strips, picked up the documents on the table beside him and tied them to his left arm, put away his pistol, flipped out of the tool box and took the driver in his hand, and walked back into the office.
This time he stopped retreating, and under the fierce gaze of this dog, he approached step by step.
The dog bit his teeth, arched his body, and his hair stood tall on his back. Finally, he couldn't hold back and pounced on him like lightning.
He stretched out his arm and sent his left arm directly to the dog's mouth. While the dog bite it hard, he quickly sent it with his right hand, stabbed the driver through the dog's eyes and penetrated it into his brain. He endured the severe pain in his arms and stirred it twice. When the brain marrow became paste, the dog's body finally softened.
He let go and let the twitching dog corpse fall to the ground. He looked at his left hand and underestimated the effect of the "Seven-edged Crystal". Not only was the tightly tied documents and materials shattered, but his arms were also covered in blood.
I moved my left finger, but fortunately I didn't hurt my muscles.
He casually bandaged it and put the "seven-edged crystal" into the porcelain bottle prepared early. He sighed. As long as this is the case, the previous efforts will be worth it.
He didn't plan to find more crystals. First, this thing is not easy to find now, and second, the biggest function of "seven-edged crystal" is to greatly strengthen the body in the early stage, and it is more than enough to lay the foundation at hand.
When he turned around and walked to more than ten floors, he saw the girl chasing upstairs again.
Hearing the footsteps, the girl raised her head in surprise, and the tears on her face were still fresh.
With such a familiar expression, he was in a daze. The girl Xiaomai, who loves to sing and dance, always laughs like a silver bell, also looked at him with the same eyes until she was drowned in the boundless tide of beasts - the soft part in her heart stings gently.
Since his return, he was careful, mainly because he knew very well that before the "Age of All Laws" was launched, thermal weapons still had a decisive role, and the national violent machine was the strongest force in the world. Although he had a way to deal with it, it was best to develop in secret when it grew so strong that it could ignore these things, so as to avoid trouble.
So from the perspective of confidentiality, the best way to do this girl is to silence her mouth directly, just like when she went upstairs just now, such a beautiful girl, single, has basically zero chance of survival in this riot. But at this moment, he admitted that he was soft-hearted.
"Where do you live?" he asked. Anyway, there will be no intersection in the future, so there should be no problem.
"Le Xingting!" The girl twitched her delicate nose.
It was the highest-end villa group in Dongze City. It had insufficient status and could not buy it with money. It seemed that she was not an ordinary rich child.
However, Lin Jixin didn't care about these things.
"Come on." Seeing that she was wisely not using the money to smash it, Lin Jixin was quite satisfied, and his tone became a little gentler, so he went downstairs first.
That place is not far from here, so it won’t be delayed if you send it to you for a trip.
The girl was stunned for a moment before reacting and followed happily.
Her recovery ability is indeed quite amazing. She just experienced the greatest danger in her life, and then she recovered. She ignored her and chattered one after another.
Through her words, Lin Jixin learned that her name was Feng Yajing, a sophomore student in high school. She originally went out to buy things today, but she encountered a "power outage in the city". The man just now was her driver.
