Chapter 482 Letter From Stranger

"Do you know what my name is?"

"...Huai, Huai Shi?"

"What about gender?"

"male……"

"age?"

"I heard...he is eighteen years old..."

"Profession?"

"Tian, ​​Astronomical Society... Inspector stationed in Xinhai."

In the messy office, the smell of gunpowder that had not dissipated was only the sound of gasping mixed with nervousness and fear.

Behind the desk, the old man who was breathless under the pressure of the sword and ax lowered his head and answered the uninvited guest's questions, then shivered in the coldness that hit his face.

Just across the table, the young man lowered his head and flipped through his mobile phone casually, studying the speeches of the troll netizens today, and asked absently: "Is there anything else?"

"Also...and..."

The old man's lips trembled, and he felt the sharp coldness gradually pressing down on his neck. He couldn't help but swallow, not knowing where to answer or what he wanted to hear.

What exactly should be the answer?

Before that, the lunatic in front of him didn't ask any questions, he just barged in all the way. He had been operating a force on the border for so long, and all his subordinates went on the road like chopping melons and vegetables, leaving only his own. Head.

At that time, they tried every means to communicate with him, but he didn't speak.

Now, he finally spoke, but he didn't know how to answer.

The old man's mind was spinning, wondering about the meaning of Huai Shi, hoping that he would not be like those brothers and sisters who were beheaded a few days ago because of a disagreement.

Huai Shi, eighteen years old, is the prosecutor of Xinhai, the beheaded king of Jinling, the most famous executioner and murderer in the Asian region of the Astronomical Society.

What does he want to hear?

No, it should be about what you can give, right?

"I...I know." He was stunned for a moment, looked at the safe behind the painting next to him, and finally realized: "I, I'm a newbie here, and I don't know the local rules yet. Please have a lot of...please... Please allow me to show my thoughts."

depression to luck.

Even though they, these border smugglers, seem to be rich and powerful, they are actually just like dogs compared to the truly powerful people.

Even if Huaishi rushed in today and killed him like a few blind things a few days ago, and then typed up a report and filled out a black letter, no one would dare to complain for themselves. protest against an injustice.

If you want to live a long time, you must take care of everything.

This kind of omission should not have occurred originally, but the problem is that this supervisor rose too quickly, is aloof and difficult to approach, and has never paid attention to irrelevant invitations.

We couldn't get on the line, and we didn't have time to test whether the big brother was as ruthless and unkind as the rumors said. As a result, disaster came.

Now that Huai Shi asked, he was not surprised but happy.

It's just a matter of spending some money. If you can buy your life, it would be great.

But then, he felt the knife and ax on his neck suddenly press down a little, and it was biting and cold.

The young man sitting opposite rolled his eyes, and after raising his pupils, his expression became indifferent.

"Am I asking you this?"

Huai Shi asked coldly, "Do you think a Xinhai prosecutor can't deal with you, or is it easy to fool an eighteen-year-old kid? Or do you just think that I will cut down all your subordinates and rush into your lair?" Here, I put you in front of the ax and asked you questions just for fun?"

In this room shrouded in faint darkness, it felt like winter was coming for an instant.

It was obviously summer, but the gloomy murderous intention was like a cold wind, making people freeze in place and tremble.

The young man looked down at him and asked word by word:

"——Do you know what time it is now?"

"..."

The old man froze on the spot, his lips moved, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't speak. I racked my brains to recall the time recently, but no matter what, I couldn't think of anything wrong.

This is just an ordinary May. As usual, there is no problem at all. Even the Astronomical Society cracks down on smuggling at the end of the year and the beginning of the year...

But in an instant, he suddenly realized: "Could it be...that it's your birthday?"

"Bullshit birthday!"

Huai Shi was furious: "My birthday is in April and it has been celebrated long ago. Do you really think I care about your money? Do you fucking know that today is May 29th?"

"Ah?" The old man was stunned.

In anger, Huai Shi slapped her hand on the table and shouted angrily: "Do you know that I will take the college entrance examination in one week?!"

What the hell?

The old man couldn't react.

"You know that I am Huai Shi and that I am eighteen years old, but don't you know that I am still a high school student and have been extremely busy studying for exams recently?"

Huai Shi pulled out the sacrificial knife and stuck it in front of his face, staring into his eyes: "You know when you are reviewing before the exam, someone suddenly sends you a text message saying that it's time for you to fucking work, and then How do you feel about going out in the bright sun and chopping up you bunch of smuggling bastards?"

"Well……"

In the long pause, the old man couldn't believe it: "Just...because of this?"

More than a dozen border smugglers, all of them have worked hard for half a lifetime, all their savings, totaling more than 400 people's heads, and dozens of routes that add up to more than a billion dollars a month...

Just because you are about to take the college entrance examination and plan to review in a sprint, all is lost?

His face turned red.

I don’t know where I got the courage, and I really want to ask the Jinling Beheaded King in front of me: Is there something wrong with you?

"Otherwise!" Huai Shi asked solemnly, "Is your stupidity as important as my study?!"

"..."

"On weekdays, I don't care how you deal with your crimes. I'm telling you today. I want you to tell everyone you know—"

Huai Shi pulled out the sword of virtue, put it on his neck, and said word for word: "Seven days before the exam, three days during the exam, and within these ten days, no matter what kind of smuggling or other messy business , stop it for me.

If after I enter the examination room, I receive a text message and someone says to me: Sorry, there are a few idiots who have smuggled in near you and are selling banned drugs at the border. You go and check it now... I don’t need to tell you what the consequences will be. Say more? "

"I don't care who you are behind, who you are behind, or what level of bastard you are as a pawn. Whoever dares to stir up trouble during my exam, I want to be good-looking. Do you understand?"

The old man screamed involuntarily.

Because the sword of virtue had been nailed into the back of his hand that was pressed on the table, cauterizing the wound and making a hissing sound.

"Ming, understand!" he screamed, "I understand everything."

"very good."

Huai Shi nodded, pulled out the Sword of Virtue, and looked at him one last time: "Then I wish you good health and all the best."

He waved his hand and recalled the ghost.

He turned and left as the darkness gradually thinned, leaving only the old man who had just woken up from a dream sitting in the office where the smell of blood had not dissipated.

As he closed the door politely and softly, the ravaged solid wood desk instantly collapsed, shattered, and fell to the ground.

In the silence, only the dull old man was shivering.

Still immersed in this unreasonable nightmare.

Outside the door, the sun was shining brightly, illuminating the young man's slightly pale face.

"Summer is coming..."

He sighed, looked up at the clear sky, walked into the crowd of people on the street, and disappeared.

.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huai Shi returned to school, and as expected, she saw Fu Yi feeding the dog in her piano room.

"Ah, you're late again?" Fu Yi looked back at him with surprise.

Then the broken dog took advantage of her not paying attention and skillfully walked to the corner and crossed its legs...

Huai Shi immediately flew up with a kick, but it missed. The broken dog had already hidden behind Fu Yi, grinning proudly at him.

"Why are you peeing everywhere again!"

Fu Yi looked down at it angrily.

"If the dog is disobedient, he is probably just pretending." Huai Shi stood next to her and suggested sadly: "Just castrate him. Do you want my help?"

"It's just a dog, you don't need to argue with it, right?"

Fu Yi rolled his eyes and kicked him. Pogou was not angry, but glanced at Huai Shi proudly, as if Huai Shi would be envious. After taking a few breaths, I shrank into the nest under the air conditioner and continued to sleep.

"This dog is fucking awesome."

Huaishi scratched his head, deeply feeling the old man's grief, anger and helplessness.

It is said that the conflict between the dog and Director Fu has intensified in the past two days, to the point where Director Fu is about to dispatch snipers - the reason is because the dog ate Fu's gun for the third time, and this time it didn't even have bullets. Leave it to him.

Lao Fu couldn't stand it anymore, so Fu Yi had no choice but to force him into Huai Shi's piano room - and as a result, it was Huai Shi's turn to have a headache.

What kind of evil have I done to torture myself with this beast?

"Why don't you give it to me? I think this dog is destined for me." Huai Shidi suggested many times: "I have a relative at the border, where the place is big. He goes there and makes trouble wherever he wants, biting whatever he wants. I’ll be happy then.”

Well, he has already bought the recipe for Abyss Dog Meat Pot. All the condiments are available, except for a dog.

The dog raised his eyes and glanced at him, then snorted from his nostrils, as if he was sneering disdainfully, not wanting to pay attention to him at all.

"Tsk..."

Huaishi pulled out the sacrificial knife from behind and considered coming in the evening.

"Okay, stop making trouble." Fu Yi shook his head: "Teacher Wu came to see you just now."

"Just say that I went to review." Huai Shi replied without shame, telling the truth: "I just performed cello music, and everyone who listened to it said it was good."

"Everyone in the disaster drill class must be present." Fu Yi said, "You have missed three classes, and the Academic Affairs Office can't explain it."

Huaishi walked to the window, looked down, and saw the students lined up neatly on the playground, listening to the teachings of the foreign teachers. They are all talking about emergency evacuation and response strategies when encountering disasters, and they are just the same old things.

Among the teachers who claimed to be from the Fire Department, we could also see a few familiar faces from the Social Security Bureau.

There have been a lot of strange things happening recently. Due to the increased activity of the current source of matter, some troubles have occurred in many areas.

For example, a tree dozens of meters high suddenly grows under the floor of your home overnight, but your family lives on the twelfth floor. Infectious diseases such as influenza, rising sea levels and earthquakes, opening your eyes in the middle of the night and seeing dead people next door. The old man who has been living for a long time is standing beside his bed...

Some are fabricated rumors, some are normal geological movements, and some are really weird things. This is generally because some indexes on the inside of the frame cannot be adjusted in time.

Some people think it's time for spiritual energy to revive, so they buy two cultivation secrets and practice until they end up in the hospital...

In short, the entire covert department of the current situation has been overloaded recently. As it should be, the Social Security Bureau has been too busy during this period to care about anything else - otherwise Director Fu would have fought to the death with that broken dog. Me.

Huai Shi was quite looking forward to such a scene.

No matter who wins or loses, it will be very enjoyable...

As for the disaster acting class, this kind of thing is just a matter of preparation. A sublime person like Huai Shi still has to study, which puts a lot of pressure on the lecturers above.

Let me tell you a joke: The Beheaded King of Jinling is here to listen to you and teach you how to deal with disasters correctly...

Instead of worrying about this, you might as well worry about your worst math class.

The most important thing is that Huai Shi doesn't know how to... There aren't many people in the fragments of the Book of Destiny who know how to do it. After Huai Shi hacks someone to death, what fragments can be collected depends purely on luck, just like drawing cards.

But it just so happens that none of those guys who lick blood from the tip of a knife are good at math, otherwise they would be able to give him extra lessons - this is actually normal. If you really want to study well, be capable, and have brains, who would need to commit adultery? Breaking laws to make money?

Seeing the college entrance examination coming day by day, Huaishi couldn't help but pinch her chin and start thinking: How about going to kill some math teachers tomorrow?

"Speaking of which, if you don't go to Vienna...what will you apply for for the college entrance examination?"

Next to the window, Fu Yi, who was playing with the dog with his back to Huai Shi, suddenly asked.

"Hmm... I haven't thought about it." Huai Shi scratched his head: "What about you?"

"I haven't thought about it," Fu Yi said, "My mother wants me to go to Rome, and my father wants to send me to Jixia... I have connections on both sides."

"Jixia?"

Huaishi scratched his head.

Although Jixia University is not well-known to ordinary people, in fact, it is secretly an affiliated institution of the largest scholar organization in the entire Eastern Xia.

In addition to the sublimators of the Eastern Xia pedigree and members of the Social Security Bureau, the ones included are also places that specialize in cultivating relevant talents. I'm afraid it's the same in Rome.

No matter which of the two places it is, I'm afraid they won't expect a guy with a background in the astronomical society to come here.

Even if you go there, you will still treat each other with courtesy, but don't think about the real core institution, just stay around for four years and get your diploma.

Filling out the voluntary application form is indeed a problem.

How about getting admitted to Jinling University of Science and Technology?

Until night, Huaishi was still thinking about this question, but still had no answer.

Soon, he heard a cooing sound coming from outside the window.

He raised his eyes and saw a gray pigeon landing by the window, looking at the Sophora japonica poem in the window.

Suddenly he asked: "Is Mr. Huaishi at home?"

"What?"

Huaishi was stunned for a long time before he figured out that this was the border abyss group that was unique to the Gray Coast border in the past. Because of their talents and abilities, they often served as messengers between borders.

I heard that after the Gray Bank earthquake a few days ago, the whole place was about to be scrapped, and I don’t know where this messenger group migrated to. Unexpectedly, one suddenly came to my door today.

"That's me." Huai Shi opened the window: "What do you do for me?"

"I have a letter from you. Please scan this code... and give me a five-star review by the way. Thank you."

The gray pigeon spread its wings and fluttered. Suddenly, a letter larger than its size fell on the table. Then, it turned around skillfully and scanned the QR code on its back for Huai Shi.

After the five-star review, Ge Ge politely said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he even asked if he wanted to drop some trash for him... I can only say that the service was considerate.

Huai Shi leaned on the chair, looking at the letter naming herself, scratching her head, wondering who sent it.

Lao Liu? That's not right. If something happens, I'll tell you on WeChat.

Then...Sister Xian? She did send them, but she usually sent them postcards and souvenirs from various places without even signing her name.

Lily?

No, since the last time, she seemed to be angry and never paid attention to him... She didn't reply to text messages, which made people confused.

Could it be...a bomb?

Huai Shi's PTSD from being persecuted suddenly activated, and she instantly shrank to the other end of the room, ready to fight.

And while he was on guard, the envelope that Huai Shi had touched for a moment suddenly started to vibrate.

As if recognizing Huai Shi's personal characteristics, the envelope sealed with alchemical paint opened on its own, revealing the exquisite letter inside, as well as a thick stack of vouchers and bills.

At the top, there is a piece of letter paper with a very elegant style, stamped with gold edges. It is really pure gold. Huaishi can feel that there are probably several grams on it.

When Huai Shi picked up the letter and read it carefully, she fell into a long period of stagnation.

"What the hell is this?"

Huai Shi touched his head and looked at the keywords above again and again.

Stunned in place.

Ivory tower, university department, recruitment? Teaching assistant? Lecture?

What is this?

——I haven’t even touched the edge of university, why did I suddenly go to find a job?
