Chapter 509 Choice

The temple is very quiet. The evergreen old Taoist priest is still sitting cross-legged under the statue. The incense burner behind him makes the statue hidden behind the green smoke even more solemn.

"Some changes have occurred. You should go back and make preparations. Officials may be called later."

Changqing Lao Dao's expression was a little serious, and his face was not very good-looking.

"What happened? Even the rest of us have to be requisitioned." Wang Xuedao asked doubtfully. He was already quite old and didn't want to travel far away again. He just went to work to complete the retirement procedures two days ago, and he would go to kindergarten to pick up his grandson after school later.

"Congressman Ouyang has defected to the enemy."

"What?!"

Wang Xuedao and Granny Hu all showed shocked expressions.

Chen Luo looked confused and didn't understand what surrendering to the enemy meant. Judging from the information he had access to so far, humans and nightmares were two hostile camps. Humans were defending and nightmares were attacking. The two sides are of different races, so it should be a fight to the death.

"Nightmares are not monsters that kill without thinking. Advanced nightmares have their own intelligence."

As if he knew the questions in Chen Luo's mind, He Min, who was next to him, immediately explained to Chen Luo.

The war between nightmares and humans has lasted for more than thirty years. For more than thirty years, humans have been in a state of passive defense. In recent years, with the rise of fantasy weapons, they have slowly begun to gain the ability to resist. Having noticed the change, the nightmare also changed its attack method, from the initial brutal slaughter to infiltration and erosion.

It was in this context that the cult was born.

The nightmare promises that those who believe in him will be given eternal dreams, while those who resist will fall into endless nightmares. After the already disadvantaged human executives learned about the temptation of the 'Eternal Dream', some of them immediately chose to surrender to the enemy. At the beginning, there were only cultists, but as time went by, this erosion slowly penetrated into the top management, and this time even the parliamentarians appeared! The country Chen Luo lives in now has a parliamentary system, and the members are the most powerful people. Even these people have traitors. One can imagine the temptation of 'sweet dreams'.

"This time, the superiors have decided to promote a group of new people. You are all practitioners of fantasy martial arts and have nothing to do with the people above. You just meet the requirements."

Chang Qing Lao Tao briefly explained the situation.

"Do I need to go to heaven?"

Wang Xuedao couldn't help but ask.

Tianwai is the base camp where humans fight against nightmares, and the ‘spiritual barrier’ built by humans is in Tianwai. The 'space station' reported in the news is actually synonymous with Tianwai. In recent years, humans have continued to increase investment in 'Tianwai'. Many powerful fantasy warriors and scientific researchers live in Tianwai. It has become a city with an extremely large scale. huge.

"There are a total of two hundred new recruits recruited this time. You will be assigned to various departments for training. I don't know the specific positions."

Chang Qing's eyes fell on Chen Luo.

"Go back and prepare well. The development of fantasy weapons has made the nightmares feel in danger. They will definitely not sit still and wait for death."

"yes."

Everyone took the marks given to them by Changqing Old Taoist, stood up and left.

Chen Luo did not stay in Qingyang Palace for a long time. Originally, he wanted to ask Changqing Taoist about some secrets, but the other party did not give him a chance. Ever since the last conversation, Old Man Changqing seems to have changed. He no longer has the aura of Old Man Changqing, and his way of speaking has also changed like other people.

The above notification did not wait, but the admission notice arrived first.

September.

Chen Luo stepped into the school gate with the notice in hand. He handled the exam casually, but with the spiritual power of an immortal cultivator, his grades would not be too bad no matter what. On the contrary, Bai Xiaochuan, this kid's family did not know what tricks they used to let him be a special admissions student and Chen Luo became an alumnus.

"This is called ability!"

Bai Xiaochuan sat next to Chen Luo, looking proud.

Before, Chen Luo always thought that Bai Xiaochuan, like him, had both working-class parents. Now I know that this kid is the second generation of rich people. Although his parents are outside the country, they are not working to make a living, but are doing business. I heard that his mother has some official background. This time he entered Linjiang University. , it was his grandfather who spoke.

Chen Luo was too lazy to pay attention to this kid. In more than half a year, he has adapted to life here. The calamity of the inner demon tribulation has also become more and more intense in him. Since the last time he called to help Bai Xiaochuan solve his nightmare, the 'tribulation' has come, just like the inner demon tribulation he once participated in.

Calamity Qi refines the heart, and ‘choice’ is the reflection of the original heart.

"I heard that Su Linlin is also in Linjiang University, from the Department of Finance. Do you want to invite her out for dinner? I heard that there are many beauties in the Department of Finance." After a moment of silence, Bai Xiaochuan leaned in again. Come over, hook one hand around Chen Luo's neck, and say in a low voice.

"Not interested in."

Chen Luo was thinking about what Chang Qing Lao Tao told him. In recent years, he has rarely thought about the inner demon tribulation, and his thinking has slowly synchronized with this world.

The external brain and the memory of the former world of immortality are covered with a layer of white gauze.

This kind of isolation is like a dream. When you wake up from the dream, you still remember the content of the dream, but you will not take what happened in the dream seriously.

"No, I need an excuse for my old classmates' reunion. If I invite her alone, she will definitely not come. If she doesn't come, who will save the other beauties from the finance department?"

Despite Bai Xiaochuan's shameless invitation, Chen Luo went to the party anyway.

Su Linlin also came. She was wearing a white dress. There were two girls with her, both of whom were her roommates.

A group of young people get along very quickly.

Bai Xiaochuan, who had drunk some beer, was very active. He got acquainted with Su Linlin's two roommates in a few words. The two sides came and went, and even added "Wei Xin". Chen Luo did not join in the fun. He ate hot pot alone on the side, and Su Linlin sat opposite.

Like Chen Luo, she did not join in the fun.

"How do you feel?"

Su Linlin suddenly asked.

"What?"

"College life."

"Life is good."

Chen Luo replied casually. Su Linlin, who was sitting opposite, was stunned for a moment, then glared at him fiercely, and her face turned red. It's a pity that Chen Luo was thinking about nightmares and didn't notice these details.

The information layer is separated.

The crisis of nightmares is far away from ordinary people.

In order to cut off the source of nightmares' power, the upper class of the human race adopted the "isolation plan", and ordinary people had no access to nightmares' information at all. In their living circle, humans vigorously developed the space program for Mars immigration and space resources.

Many talents who support the "isolation plan" do not know where their research projects will be used.

When the plan grows to a certain extent, everyone becomes a part of the plan. Except for a few people, most people are screws, and they do not know where the "nail" they hit will be used.

After the party, Chen Luo and Su Linlin returned to school, and Bai Xiaochuan took Su Linlin's two roommates to the second half.

Life is as peaceful as water.

The academic pressure in college is not as intense as that in the third year of high school, and many students have relaxed. Some people study habitually, some relax and start a relationship, and some start a part-time business. People of the same age group began to diverge from this stage.

Chen Luo is still practicing and practicing martial arts.

Except for Su Linlin and Bai Xiaochuan who occasionally appear in his life, everyone else is very far away.

He is not a sociable person.

During this period, Granny Hu and the other two received appointments and left Rongcheng.

Only Chen Luo was left, still practicing in the temple.

The people above seemed to dislike him for being too young. In the registration of Changqing Laodao, Chen Luo had only been learning Illusionary Martial Arts for half a year.

How far can he practice in half a year?

Another semester passed like this, until the second half of the freshman year. Changqing Laodao had new news. His name had been registered in the system, and his identity as an Illusionary Martial Arts practitioner had been recognized. The specific position had to wait for the arrangement of the above.

The old Taoist didn't know the doorway inside, just let Chen Luo wait.

This wait lasted for four years.

The university ended soon, and Chen Luo's Illusionary Martial Arts cultivation also officially broke through to the eighth level this year, reaching the same realm as Changqing Laodao.

"Night Affairs Bureau?"

Chen Luo looked at the appointment letter in his hand and looked at Changqing Laodao opposite.

Four years later, Changqing Laodao looked older, and there was some old man's unique old air on him. Illusionary Martial Arts is not a method of prolonging life. On the contrary, it will overdraw the life span of the practitioner. Changqing Laodao suppressed the Rongcheng area with his own strength, and the backlash was naturally not small. Over the years, he has killed at least 800 nightmares, including some high-level nightmares.

"The newly established department wants to use the Night Affairs Bureau to sort out the situation."

Changqing Laodao saw through it very clearly. When this department was established, the higher-ups had informed him, and he himself was also a nominal elder of this department.

"Is the situation very dangerous?"

Chen Luo asked. In the past four years, he had been exposed to many things in the Fantasy Martial World and knew the situation of the 'outside the sky'. Although new masters of the human race continue to emerge on the surface, the situation is actually not optimistic. After the nightmare changed its way, there were more traitors in the human race. In addition to Councillor Ouyang, who Chen Luo heard about four years ago, two other high-level human beings defected to the enemy. The impact brought about was that the 'isolation sky curtain' was destroyed, and a crack appeared on the corner, which intensified the erosion of the dream demon on humans.

This incident sounded the alarm for the people above, and no one knew how many traitors were hidden in the upper level.

Suspicion is growing.

The human race now is like sitting on the crater of a volcano. It seems calm on the surface, but it has been undercurrents inside. The attraction of the ‘eternal dream’ is too strong. In this absolutely weak situation, few people can stick to their original intentions. Especially the people in the upper class, the more they know about the nightmare, the more desperate they are.

“An eighth-level grandmaster and three seventh-level grandmasters died.”

The old Taoist Changqing sighed.

A lot of things happened in the upper class in the past four years. An old friend he knew fell. This time, the great changes ‘above’ have the shadow of his old friend.

“Okay.”

Chen Luo accepted the appointment.

The figures of Bai Xiaochuan, Su Linlin and his parents flashed in his mind.

It’s different after all. (End of this chapter)
