Chapter 593: Fu 9 presents a painting: the appearance of his parents; the Xuanjian Lake in Bu Tian T
Fu Jiu in the mirror spoke:
"[Creating a Mystical Realm] will unlock your last two seals and completely free your mind from the shackles. You will get all the answers and make your own choices in the future."
Fu Jiu's voice is as neutral as his appearance. Chang Le would feel dazed when hearing such a voice, especially when those eyes were looking at him.
Chang Le opened his mouth, with so many questions piling up in his mind, that he only asked one question in the end: "Can I... see them?"
The pages of paper were blown slightly by the wind, and the figure on the paper seemed to move and could turn around in the next moment.
Chang Le wanted to see what her biological parents looked like.
Just want to take a look, that's all.
Fu Jiu's hand stretched out from the mirror, and Chang Le felt his cheek being gently stroked: "Yes, I will see it."
Chang Le chuckled slowly.
Hua An Ning was sitting on the bed on the other side of the room, looking at Chang Le with a complicated expression as he sat at the table, asking and answering himself questions and stroking his cheek with his hand.
When Chang Le woke up, he found himself having fallen asleep on his notebook. It was still dark in the early winter morning, and the cold wind was howling in through the gaps in the window.
Chang Le sat up and rubbed his numb arms and legs. His eyes fell on the pressed notes, which was still the painting of the back.
She was not good at drawing, and her drawing of the two silhouettes was sloppy and childish, but still vivid.
Suddenly, the wind blew in from the window, turning the page of the notebook, and Chang Le's eyes suddenly stopped.
A picture was drawn on the next page, which was blank last night.
The painting shows a young couple.
The man had a pair of deer eyes, a big smile, a friendly temperament, and semi-long brown hair.
The woman had neat short hair, red lips and phoenix eyes, with her eyes delicately painted in dark green, and she had a cool temperament.
Simple lines and three or two colors vividly depict the appearance and temperament of the person in the painting.
Her parents, whose faces she couldn't remember, turned around and stared at her.
"drop……"
Tears fell on the woman's eyes, which were exactly the same color as Chang Le's, and there seemed to be a highlight in the woman's eyes.
Chang Le hurriedly took a tissue to wipe away the water marks. When she was wiping, she noticed that after the paper was wet, traces of the next page were revealed.
She turned the page and found that there was another page of writing below the painting.
What is written is:
"
I see you need to hold yourself tight to fall asleep
I know you wake up often
Can't distinguish between dreams and reality
You dare not look at the sun in the sky
I don't want to destroy the remaining conscience
I know all your struggles
I'm waiting
Waiting for you to choose the desired destination
...
Eighteen-year-old Chang Le
This is a gift for you
...
1.21 Fu Jiu presented a painting. ”
The handwriting was not hers. It was not as sharp as Ye Buqi's, not as sloppy as Wei An's, not as twisted as a madman's, and not as calligraphic as a young lady's. Instead, it had the sharpness of silver hooks and iron paintings and the regularity of the distance between lines.
This is Fu Jiu's calligraphy, rationality yet also buries the abyss of destruction.
Chang Le sat there stiffly until Hua An Ning stood up, then he put away his notes and calmed down his expression.
Hua An Ning frowned and asked, "You haven't slept all night. The test will start today. Can you still hold on?"
Chang Le was stunned for a moment: "I...closed my eyes for a while."
Hua An Ning looked at her and spoke slowly: "You stared at the mirror for a long time last night. I took a nap and woke up to see you still writing and drawing. You just squinted for an hour or so, how can that be a problem?"
Chang Le's heartbeat was slightly faster.
The one who was writing and drawing there last night was not her.
If Fu Jiu hadn't left that message on purpose, she wouldn't have known that Fu Jiu had been out for most of the night.
"Bunny?"
[Ha~ I’m here! ]
422 appeared in consciousness yawning.
"Fujiu was here last night, did you know?"
422: [Ah? What?]
Chang Le curled his lips: "Stupid rabbit! It's nothing!"
422 cried out in injustice: [This is not my fault! You and I are bound together! I have to shut down my phone even when you sleep. As long as you sleep, I don’t know who will pop up! You all have identities, and I am just a mascot pendant. What can I do?]
"Stop! Turn off the mic." Chang Le didn't want to see the big rabbit rolling around in his consciousness.
422 ran away.
Chang Le shook his head and went to wash up.
After gathering, everyone got on the bus and headed to Nuwa Base.
On the way, Chang Le closed his eyes to rest, while in his head he was already using the Internet to search for information about the Nuwa base.
Because of the use of the [Networking] ability, 422 bound to this ability popped up.
[Let me pick out the key points for you! It's too much trouble to read so much information bit by bit~] 422 deliberately turned into a little boy to act cute.
Chang Le hummed.
422 introduced it to her.
As the first war base established in the nine regions of Middle-earth, Nuwa Base is the largest, highest-level, involves the most affairs, and has the strictest confidentiality. It is the veritable command core of Middle-earth.
The Nuwa Base is different from the Zhumen Base, which is a centralized entity. It is decentralized, with a total of four branches and one headquarters.
The four branches are located in different places in Hua'an City, and their assessment location is in the second branch where the Butian Tower is located.
The exact location of the headquarters is not shown in general information.
Soon, they arrived at the second branch of Nuwa Base.
Xuanjian Lake is located in the south of Hua'an City.
This is a deep lake as wide as the sea. It was formed by a deep pit caused by a fight between four extraordinary masters in the Age of Gods more than 300 years ago. Later, it was artificially constructed to introduce running water along the lakeshore and into the lake bottom, and the second branch of the Nuwa Base was built.
A tall tower stands in the center of the lake, about 70 meters from the lake surface to the top of the tower, and the lower part of the tower is submerged in the lake. The lakeside buildings are connected to the central tower, and countless steel giants rise from the ground surrounding the lake, towering majestically and giving off a sense of oppression.
This tall tower, half in the lake and half in the sky, is the actual building of the Bu Tian Pagoda and is also one of the main locations of the management committee.
There is an attic at the top of the Bu Tian Tower, with no windows. An ancient bronze sword hangs upside down from the roof.
The wind blows, the rain beats, the thunder roars, the ancient sword is rusty, but it will not shake.
This is how Xuanjian Lake got its name.
Eighteen people gathered by the lake and an old man was invited over.
The old man had a haggard face, white hair, and sagging skin, but his eyes were bright, his back was straight, and he looked energetic.
"My name is Qin Ling, the elder of the management committee and one of the guardians of the Butian Tower." The old man's voice was powerful enough for everyone to hear clearly.
Chang Le thought to himself.
The Management Committee has a close relationship with the Bu Tian Tower and controls the two branches of the Nuwa Base and the research laboratory at the headquarters. This Qin Ling should be from the Qin family and is one of the most senior people in the Middle Earth Region.
"I have been invited to serve as the invigilator of this examination. I will supervise this examination fairly and impartially. I hope that you will abide by the rules and compete enthusiastically."
