The essence of the Red Chapter (Ninety-Nine).
After a simple wash, yawned, Li Fei got himself a cup of hot coffee, came to the carriage of the living room, saw Lu Yuyao who was bored, shook his head helplessly and smiled, stepped forward and touched Lu Yuyao's head, picked up the towel again, and wiped the sleep marks on Lu Yuyao's face, "Uncomfortable?" It should be almost there, bear with me a little longer! ”
Lu Yuyao nodded obediently, but her mood was still not very good, and the exquisite snacks on the table could not arouse her interest, and Li Fei's intimate actions were the only thing that made her happy.
The little princess was in a bad mood, and Li Fei was very sympathetic and understanding, but he couldn't think of a good way to improve it. After getting a useful piece of information by chance in Los Angeles, they immediately changed the original plan of the "electric dog" and set off for the so-called "Thirteenth Stronghold", he initially thought that it would not take more than two days to reach it by car, but he didn't want to, this "Thirteenth Stronghold" is next door to Los Angeles, but it is in Nevada, next door to Los Angeles, and it is still in the desert of Nevada.
Now, it has been twenty-four hours since Li Fei and them entered the desert, at first, Lu Yuyao was still a little excited, but the repeated and boring scenery in the desert quickly became a kind of torture, and Lu Yuyao, who was active by nature, was tortured to a sullen mood, if it weren't for so many people, if it weren't for Li Fei, Lu Yuyao would have jumped out of the car a long time ago.
"Haven't you arrived yet? It feels like we're going around in circles in the desert! Li Fei put the coffee on the table and shared it with Lu Yuyao, they didn't need to rely on this kind of thing to refresh themselves, they just wanted a little sweet morning. Especially Lu Yuyao, the boring time ruined her sleepiness, she fell asleep very late last night, and got up earlier than anyone else. Lu Yuyao, who is in bad spirits, what Li Fei can do for her is to give her a little happiness.
Sima Luming, who was driving, let his soft body sit up straight again, took a deep breath, and his sleepy face was a little more radiant.
"According to the guy, if nothing else, it will be there before dark, right?" Sima Luming kicked the co-pilot angrily.
The co-pilot sat down, and the "electric dog" that slept soundly made Sima Luming's kick frightened, jumped up, hit his head on the roof of the car, and seemed to jump the whole car, "I'll go!" What are you doing! Although you are my superior, do you understand that abusing employees is a crime? ”
"Okay, okay! We don't understand the law. Sima Luming was a little impatient, the "electric dog" had been a policeman for several years, and Sima Luming didn't want to talk to him about the law.
"Our captain asks how long you will be there? Also, you've slept all night, it's time for a shift change! Drowsy driving is also a crime! Driving in the lonely desert is by no means a pleasure, after a night of mechanical driving on the road, Sima Luming is already exhausted, anyway, there are not a few other cars here a day, Sima Luming pulls the "electric dog" and takes turns to drive.
Seeing the uncomfortable headache of the "Electric Dog", Li Fei handed him a glass of ice water, and the "Electric Dog" drank a big mouthful, his body shivered, and his spirit came up, "Look!" Or your head is humane! Alright, you go and rest! I'll drive it, look at the navigator, and we'll be there in the evening. ”
Sima Luming was also not polite, and changed positions with the "electric dog", lying in the passenger seat, and looked at his mobile phone.
"Hey! Aren't you going to rest? Still early on the phone? "Electricity-eating dogs" complained.
"Before going to bed, let's see if there's any new news, can't you? I'm in charge of the intelligence gathering in the team, which is called conscientiousness! Drive your car! Sima Luming's directly choked "electric dog" was speechless.
"It's the same person who loves and kills with the 'tarantula', the 'electric dog', I think you and the 'ghost fox' will have a lot of common language." Li Fei looked funny, hugged Lu Yuyao, and couldn't help but tease.
"Early in the morning, you speak ill of people behind your back, boss, you're not kind!" In the relaxed footsteps, Zhuge Hu also came to the carriage, his spirit was very good, first gave Sima Luming a pot of hot tea, and then sat next to Li Fei and brewed kung fu tea, but Americans do not have the habit of making kung fu tea, and most of the tools are replaced by other things.
"Oh! Tea? Great stuff! The "electric dog" smelled the tea and turned his head to look at the carriage, his eyes glowing.
"Look ahead! Drive your car! Sima Luming kicked the "Electric Dog", but still poured a cup of tea from his pot and gave it to the "Electric Dog".
"There is a word in our country called Chongyang, and it seems that it is also suitable for you Americans." With a cup of hot tea, Li Fei's whole body was smooth, which was much more comfortable than drinking coffee, he took a cup of tea and prepared to give it to Lu Yuyao, but found that Lu Yuyao fell asleep leaning on him, "I've been suffocating her for the past two days." What about the 'blood wolf'? Still resting? ”
Zhuge Hu shook his head and said, "Wake up, I'm doing some simple exercises, it's good for her." How long will it take for us to get there? I've been stuffy in the car for so long, not to mention Lu Yuyao, I'm going crazy. ”
"It won't be wrong to arrive in the evening." "Electricity Dog" looked at the navigation on the car and reconfirmed the time, "Listen to what that friend meant that day, you are here for the 'Nidhogg' business?" ”
"Yes, the family leaders attach great importance to this matter, and we infiltrated the United States to investigate this matter!" Li Fei also did not deny that "Nidhogg", as Verina's personal guard, how many pairs of eyes were staring at them, they were attacked, almost wiped out, and seriously injured and sent to the hospital, everyone can see this clearly, and they basically already know it in the "garden", and forcibly concealing it will only cause unnecessary speculation, and half-truths are the most convincing.
"Electric Devouring Dog" looked like he suddenly realized, obviously believing Li Fei's words, "I said, how could the family get you in at this time, it makes sense." If it's about 'Nidhogg'...... Then, it is only natural that there is news about Stronghold Thirteen, after all, 'Nidhogg' was attacked in this desert. ”
Sima Luming closed his phone, closed his eyes and said, "Then you must know this thirteenth stronghold very well?" ”
"Electric Devouring Dog" smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't know, this stronghold has only been established for more than a year, so it's not so much a stronghold as a surveillance point." ”
"Surveillance point? Surveillance where? A big desert? "This seems a bit incredible to Li Fei, what can be in this desert that is worthy of the family setting up a stronghold to monitor?
Zhuge Hu shook his finger and said meaningfully: "Boss, don't draw too early conclusions, if you want to talk about a valuable goal, I think there is still one here." ”
"Oh? Which one? Let's hear it. Li Fei was very curious, what could be in the desert that was inaccessible? Ultra-rare minerals?
"Captain, I don't know, have you heard of it, a place." Sima Luming paused and said lazily, "District 51." ”
The noon sun, in the desert hot air set up a circle of ripples, and outside the hellish hot world is different, the RV is full of people, but it is very cool, under the control of Zhuge Fox, the air in the car is constant at a fairly comfortable temperature, and a good lunch, is even more happy, before entering the desert, they took a special time, purchased half-cooked and ready-to-eat food, which allowed them to finally get rid of the nightmare of relying on snacks for days to satisfy their hunger.
However, there was still one person who was absent, Sima Luming was lying in the passenger seat, making a slight snoring sound, Li Fei was afraid of disturbing Sima Luming's rest, so he asked Lu Yuyao to cast a soundproof enchantment for him.
"Did you leave lunch for the four-eyed spider?" Li Fei asked, Lu Yuyao ate very happily, which made Li Fei's mood a lot better, it seems that food is always the most effective thing to deal with foodies.
"Stay, keep warm in the kitchen." After a few days of recuperation, Catherine's face was no longer sickly, and the ambition and vitality of a wolf were restored.
"That's good, otherwise he will get up and find that we have eaten and drunk without his share, and he will not eat us?" Li Fei's words made everyone snicker, but with Sima Luming's temperament, it is unlikely that he will go crazy on the spot, and it will be great to settle accounts slowly in the future.
"Speaking of which, Yu Haruka, how did you crack that 'Key' that day? Is his ability an illusion? ”
With a soup spoon on his mouth, and grease stains on his mouth, Lu Yuyao almost lay on the table with a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, and launched a fierce attack on the food, as if he wanted to vent all the depression of this time on the food.
"Huh? That one? It's not an illusion! Plundering a large amount of food into the bowl, Lu Yuyao didn't particularly care about Li Fei's questions.
"Isn't it an illusion? But isn't that trick you're using specifically to dispel illusions? "The huge golden-red pupil cast by Lu Yuyao is the secret method of the inheritance of the three-legged golden crow, and Li Fei, who has obtained the power of the three-legged golden crow, although he has not yet learned this trick, he still wants to know in advance about the ability he can obtain in the future.
"Not really! Where did you get your delusion! You're still a 'crow'! Lu Yuyao unceremoniously criticized Li Fei, Li Fei was deflated, but he didn't dare to refute, in terms of magic, especially the inheritance of the three-legged golden crow, Lu Yuyao has a lot to teach him, but the more difficult thing is that how to guide Lu Yuyao, if you let her teach directly, this dull little princess can't be called a good teacher.
Lu Yuyao stuffed a steak about the size of his own mouth into his mouth, chirped, and said incoherently: "That's not for breaking illusions!" It's used to see clearly, well, that word, my father said yes, this ...... Well, the essence, yes, that's right, it's the essence. ”
"Essence?" Li Fei was even more curious, and the others also stopped the tableware in their hands, in the boring and monotonous desert, a little anecdote can be described as the best dessert after dinner, but the "electric dog" did not intend to continue to participate, he knew that Lu Yuyao was talking about who his father was, and as a "electric dog", he didn't think that he should contact the information that involved such a distant existence. Packing up his utensils, the "electric dog" returned to the driver's seat and started the car, the soundproof barrier that existed to ensure Sima Luming's rest allowed him to safely isolate the information he didn't want to touch.
The behavior of the "electric dog" attracted Li Fei's attention for a short time, Li Fei roughly guessed the idea of the "electric dog", but he didn't stop the "electric dog", he didn't care that the "electric dog" heard their conversation, but what Lu Yuyao said next was something involving magic, and the "electric dog" didn't listen to it to save him trouble, after all, not everyone can accept that their worldview is subverted.
A large piece of steak disappeared in Lu Yuyao's mouth for less than half a minute, Lu Yuyao poured a large mouthful of fresh soup with satisfaction, wiped his mouth very ladylikely, and said: "It is through the appearance, to see the truth inside, for example, if you say illusion, it is not to break the illusion, but through the illusion, see clearly what the illusion hides." ”
Catherine said anxiously: "Then what's the matter with that 'Key', it's not an illusion, what is his ability?" Letting a B-class "sober person" play around, she desperately wants to figure out why, and the same situation must not be allowed to happen again.
“‘Key’? It's normal that you can't catch him! Don't say it's you, Li Fei can't please him in his hands. Lu Yuyao patted Li Feidi on the shoulder, and said in the tone of an elder educating a junior, "His ability has finally touched the edge of a little 'space'. ”
"Space?" Everyone at the table exclaimed, space, in the magic system, is a special existence that belongs to one of the "truths", in the Soul Burial City, the strength of the "space" ability "clockmaker", Li Fei still remembers it vividly, if it weren't for the token given by Zhang Xianghui, how could he still have the life to sit here? It's just that although the spatial ability is strong, how can the "truth" be so easy to touch, it's hard to imagine that the "Key" who can only hide and hide will be the spatial ability, which makes the "Nightwing" people a little afraid.
"An-la! I'm just talking about touching the edge! The reaction is so big! Lu Yuyao laughed and asked everyone to sit down at ease, "Touching the edge and mastering are two concepts!" His ability is not yet a space, well, let's call it a 'door', according to what I have seen, this ability is to open the lock, plus connect the doors within a certain range. ”
Connected? Catherine had a flash of inspiration, "It's like a rabbit, a nest, digging several passages." Listen to you, the same is true of that 'Key', which can connect all the nearby doors, so that he can enter this door and come out through that door? ”
Lu Yuyao's face swelled, she wrenched her brains, and then let out a breath, and the whole person relaxed, every time she used her brain too much, it would be like this, "Oops! I can't think of a better explanation, it's pretty much what Sister Catherine said, I think that guy is more called Rabbit than 'Key'. ”
Everyone smiled, but Li Fei didn't forget the important thing, "We understand his ability, but what happened when you said that he touched the edge of space?" ”
