East of Eden

Chapter 48 RIVAL

People can't avoid eating in the cafeteria at school, and there are always a few impressive aunts in the cafeteria.

There is an aunt in the fourth window who specializes in cooking potatoes, fried potatoes with green peppers, stewed potatoes with beef, mashed potatoes, shredded potatoes in cold salad, fried diced potatoes... There are all kinds of potatoes, so she is also called "Potato" by the students of Jinsha Society. Shih Tzu.

Tudou Xishi is actually only about 35 years old, with a plump figure, a braided bun on the back of her head, a blue bow tie, and some small freckles on her face. If she doesn't speak, she will give people the illusion of a sweet big sister , but when he opened his mouth, the aggressive posture was enough to scare people away thousands of miles away.

There are tens of thousands of students, this potato Xishi is only impressed by Heathwell, every time she comes to order, she always beats a big spoonful of shredded potatoes, not because of special care, but because she shows Heathwell The idea of ​​"food should not be wasted", then forced her to finish eating with scorching eyes.

The root cause is that Heathwell's dormitory is just opposite the small vegetable field developed by Potato Xishi. Every time he goes out, Heathwell always has to step over the vegetable field. Once, he accidentally trampled to death the vegetables she planted, and she took them Because of chasing the spatula and running half the school.

Potato Xishi cherishes her small vegetable garden so much that she almost hangs a plaque saying "Trespassers will be killed without mercy" at the door.

Now that it is a holiday, there are fewer open windows in the cafeteria of Jinsha College, and Tudou Xishi is one of the members who sticks to his post.Throughout the year, whether she is on vacation or not, she always stays at school and can be called a model worker.

Siswell brought Yun'an and Su'an to eat, but had to bite the bullet and go to get food, succumbing to her despotic power.

"Please give me...a...fried potato chips..." she said weakly, emphasizing "one".

Before she finished speaking, a spoon full of diced potatoes was covered on her rice, and a few small potatoes rolled down from it.

"So it's Heathwell, eat more, I see you've lost a lot of weight from hunger." Potato Xi Shi said with a smile.

Heathwell: A wry smile.

After finishing the dishes, the three of them found a place to sit down. Because of the stereotype that boys can eat more, Heathwell and Su An unanimously poured the overflowing potatoes to Yun'an.

Yun An: "I really appreciate you very much."

While Yun'an was struggling to stuff potatoes into his mouth, Heathwell, the captain, received an email on his cell phone.

It is an encrypted email from the headquarters of the Weaver Party, which will be automatically destroyed within 1 hour.

After reading it carefully, she put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said to everyone: "Xingxing will arrive in Jinsha City this afternoon. I will let you know the specific time later. The headquarters asks us to make preparations for the reception."

The email was sent from the cell phone of Helios, who represented the entire Weaver Party headquarters.

People in the Weaver Party probably wouldn't have imagined that their leader was such a casual, seemingly frivolous artificial human.

At this moment, Helios is wearing a ponytail and a loose hoodie, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, humming a light tune of vivalavida.Cang Xing next to him was dressed in black, Zhanfeng gun was folded and put into the backpack, only the hang tag around his neck gave off a little metallic luster, silent and vigilant like a wolf.

From an outsider's perspective, they walk together, one looking up at the sun and the other looking at the earth, like two extremes, but in fact, the smiling person is the most indifferent and alienated, but the person hiding in the shadows is profound Mild, with some human smoke and fire.

"How about taking a stroll around Jinsha City before meeting Heathwell?" Helios asked.

He and Xing teamed up for this mission. They have sneaked into the center of Jinsha City with the tourist group.Today is sunny and cloudless, which is a good weather for an outing.

"Where are you going?" Xing was puzzled.

Helios smiled mysteriously: "I know a place that you will definitely like."

So he took Xing and got on the tourist bus bound for Jinsha City National Museum, and the enthusiastic guide stuffed a map into their hands.

"It's a museum again?" After the farce of the Alpha City Museum snatching Zhanfeng gun last time, Xing can be said to stay away from this kind of place.

"Museums and libraries are the most wonderful places in the world." Helios blew the wind outside the window, his golden eyes shone in the sunlight, "Besides, there are your favorite things there—"

Star looked up at him slightly.

Helios looked back at him and said, "Everything about Liang Shiheng."

The Jinshacheng National Museum has three floors, and it itself is a building of the Yin Qi era. According to archaeology, it is the hall of the Royal Yongjun Command Headquarters.

Today it has been completely restored, retaining its original heritage, scientifically fortified and equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, thanks to the work of the many archaeologists and architects of the Golden Saber Society.

The first floor is an exhibition hall about early civilization, which mainly displays various dragon fossils and stone tools. This period of civilization is called the "Dragon Tour Period" and is most popular among children.

The second floor is the Yinqi Civilization Exhibition Hall, which is also the most exquisite exhibition hall in the museum. Helios and Cang Xing went directly to the second floor and followed the instructions of the projection guide to visit.

There are few visitors in the hall, the light is dim, and it looks extremely quiet. In a trance, there is an illusion that you have really traveled back to 3000 years ago.

In the depths of the museum, Xing stopped in front of a damaged stone statue.

That was the Liang Shiheng he was looking for.

The man stood inside the glass, a beam of light enveloped his whole body from top to bottom, making every wrinkle on his clothes black and white.White robe, hood, and mask, the whole has a compassionate temperament, stretching out a hand, as if sympathizing with all living beings.Beside him, there was a statue of the Eastern Land Knight, and Xing recognized at a glance that it was Du Chunfeng, the former Silver Pigeon Knight.

"This area is Liang Shiheng's special area, how about it?" Helios silently approached Xing.

Xing slowed down and looked around silently, scanning every ancient relic and every display board.He saw the stargazing instruments Liang Shiheng had used, the clay tablets in the "History of Changmu" that recorded history, the strange statues of Liang Shiheng, and the statues of Ye Pulong, Shengyuejiao, and Sakuwa, but he was the only one without him. Own.

There are almost no traces of the northern barbarians. The background of their exhibition area is a vast expanse of snow, with only excavated animal skeletons, bows, knives, wolf teeth and other utensils.

[The clay tablet in "History of Changhun" records that when Liang Shiheng traveled to the northern wilderness, he made friends with a certain barbarian warrior, so he entrusted one of the sacred objects to him to prevent natural disasters. 】

A warrior without a name, a handful of strokes in the history books - this is all about Cang Xing.

The man stopped and looked outside the glass cabinet for a long time, and Helios was rarely quiet, standing with him for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, a group of children suddenly ran by, chirping, "I want to see the statue of the Valkyrie!"

"Valkyrie is up ahead! I've got my camera!"

"Hurry up, see who will arrive first!"

"Valkyrie?" Cang Xing was stunned when they bumped into his side.

"They are talking about Sopela, the leader of the Royal Army." Helios said.

"Oh? I remember her title is General Blood Rose."

"You remember her?"

Xing did remember that her red hair and green eyes were impressive: "Sopella, like Suspen II, hated Liang Shiheng and his followers, and hated me very much."

Cangxing and Sopela had acquaintances on several occasions in the Xizhou court.Sopela personally impeached Liang Shiheng to Emperor Suspian, thinking that the natural disaster Liang Shiheng predicted was nonsense, and strongly supported Saspian to attack the Eastern Land and unify the world. Emperor Suspian appreciated her very much.

She was the one who exiled Liang Shiheng to the Northern Territory, she was the one who sent Liang Shiheng to the "Sword of Heaven's Punishment", and she was the one who encircled and suppressed the Holy Moon Sect. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are Liang Shiheng's deadly rivals.

Sopela, like Suspian II, was a realist, advocating force, and did not believe in all falsehood, let alone God.

But now, she has become the most popular and popular player in the museum, and was named a Valkyrie.

The exhibition hall of cultural relics related to Valkyrie is located in the center of the museum, which is an open corridor.The top of the corridor is a series of arched glass, which looks like a huge greenhouse as a whole, with red roses planted on both walls, which are always in bloom all year round.There is plenty of sunlight here, and there is a cafe, which is extremely cozy. The weapons and costumes used by the Valkyrie are displayed in the center of the greenhouse, and there is also a bronze statue of her in full scale.

Under the bronze statue of Sopela, many children are taking photos with her, even holding related peripherals, such as the pillows of some red-haired beautiful warriors.

Xing felt incomprehensible: "Is she so popular now?"

Helios crossed his arms and said, "After all, this is the home of the Royal Yong Army. She is beautiful and naturally popular."

This open exhibition hall is not at the same level as the Liang Shiheng special area just now. The two stood aside and watched for a while. In Helios's harsh words, Xing's expression was like "a lost dog who suddenly realized the difference in the world." ".

After a while, Xing said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Huh?...Oh." Helios suddenly realized that human beings need to use the bathroom, especially when they feel embarrassed.

The bathroom of the Jinsha Museum is neat and clean, with automatic flushing, filled with a faint floral fragrance and a high-tech smell.Xing entered alone, looking at his face in the mirror in front of the sink, as if recalling scenes from the past.

That is the picture of the time when the world is destroyed and civilization collapses.

The specifics are not clear, I just remember that the sun was engulfed by darkness, meteor-like objects fell from the sky, the earth was covered in charcoal, corpses were everywhere, and the direction of the palace and the city was burning with flames, coating the sky with a bloody edge.

Cang Xing is activating the holy object in the snow mountain, he succeeded, but the ominous voice is getting closer and closer, Cang Xing realizes that someone is going to arrest him.He walked out of the temple, led a barbarian army, and stood on the snow-capped mountain to meet them. The stones trembled under his feet, and the cold wind wailed. He held the Zhanfeng gun tightly, as if they were the only ones in the world.

......

It turns out that natural disasters really happened, and Yin Qi civilization was destroyed as a result.

But who killed himself?Who is going to catch him?Why did he end up with a chest injury and was buried deep in the snow-capped mountains?

Xing had a severe headache and washed his face with cold water several times. At this moment, a clear female voice came from behind him.

That's right, it's a female voice.

"Hi~~"

Xing turned around, only to see a woman dressed like a lady wearing a black velvet hat slantingly greeted him coquettishly.

"Miss, you have gone to the wrong place." He looked at the sign uneasily and said, "This is the men's restroom."

"I know," the woman was not afraid at all, locked the door of the bathroom, stepped on high heels and approached, "I just came to look for you, Cang Xing, I didn't expect you to have a miserable life in the past 3000 years, I can't stand it anymore .”

Xing felt a trace of familiarity from her tone, and the sudden attack in the next second made him confirm his speculation.

The woman pulled out a red sharp whip from the windbreaker and almost locked her throat.Xing reacted quickly and dodged quickly, but the speed of the whip was faster, chasing the wind, Xing's backpack was at Helios, and he couldn't take out his weapon, so he had to dodge blindly. The tile floor under his feet was slippery, and he rushed into it without paying attention. compartment.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the bathroom except them.

The woman's whip wrapped around his waist, and the spikes on it cut through his clothes, leaving streaks of blood on his waist.She also broke into the cubicle and kicked Xing on the toilet, sensing that the flush machine was too sensitive and began to rattle.

Amidst the noisy sound of flushing water, the woman held a whip in one hand and took off her black velvet cap with the other, exposing her seaweed-like red curly hair and emerald green eyes.

"Sopella." Although he guessed it, Xing was still very surprised to see the ancients who had been resurrected like him.

"Only you can be resurrected, can't I?" Sopela smiled contemptuously, spelling out the words clearly, "Vulgar barbarian, you have won me before, but I will never lose this time."
