Chapter 2 Old Man

On the way out, Bai Muye put on his baseball cap, lowered the brim, and put on a mask.

He didn't want to be on such a hot day, but he didn't want to be watched.

He quickly walked through the crowd, through the crowd of parents waiting outside the school, and walked all the way to the parking lot. He was transported to a floor more than 100 meters high by the elevator and found his old car.

After getting in the car, he said he was going home, and the old car slowly flew out of the parking space.

More than 100 meters above the ground, at a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour, it passed through countless skyscrapers and drove towards the suburbs in the sky with dense traffic.

Bai Muye's residence is more than 30 kilometers away from Baihua City.

It is a three-story villa of 700 to 800 square meters, backed by a green mountain, with a big river in front, facing the mountain and the water, with excellent feng shui.

The yard covering several acres is full of flowers, plants and trees, and the corridor in front of the main gate is full of green vines.

It is full of bunches of rich grapes, which makes people feel happy just by looking at it.

It’s a pity that there are not many neighbors here.

Most people buy this place for vacation, and few people live here for a long time.

The reason why he lives here is quiet, the old man said.

Bai Muye thinks it’s because it’s cheap.

The housing prices in the city are too expensive!

After arriving home, Bai Muye parked the car, opened the door excitedly, and shouted subconsciously: "Old man, I’m back! Hahaha, I was admitted to No. 1 Middle School..."

Halfway through shouting, he realized that the old man was not there, and closed his mouth a little depressed.

He changed his shoes and walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, frowning.

"Half a month, no trace, you old man... just abandoned me without a word?"

"Where's responsibility? Where's conscience? Where's morality?"

"Before, you always scared me, saying that if you suddenly disappeared, you would be dead... It's nonsense!"

"You are a cowardly old man, who wants to kill you?"

Bai Muye muttered to himself, sinking into the sofa. After a long time, he rolled his eyes and said, "Old man!"

"So beautiful... So beautiful!"

Bai Muye suddenly shouted loudly.

"Here I come, little brother, don't be so anxious..."

A very hot and beautiful woman appeared in the void, with long wavy hair, eyes like water, wearing a light yellow cheongsam with a very high slit, and a straight and round white leg looming.

Walked to Bai Muye and threw him a wink.

This is the family's intelligent computer, which is even worse than the old man. He has played a lot of tricks on him over the years.

The image of Da Piaoliang is also the work of the sultry old man, who said that beautiful women are pleasing to the eye.

At that time, Bai Muye suggested that women without clothes are more pleasing to the eye.

The old man looked down on him: "What do you know, little kid? What's there to see in a woman without clothes? Only women who dress decently but behave seductively and charmingly are beautiful!"

He also said that Bai Muye is vulgar.

I don't know who is vulgar, and named the intelligent computer Da Piaoliang.

It's so LOW!

As a result, this remark caused Bai Muye to be retaliated by the petty Da Piaoliang for a long time.

He was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and suddenly he pretended to be a ghost to scare him; he put the chopped green onions he hated the most in the stuffing of buns and dumplings for him; and so on...

For example, when Brother Bai was concentrating on learning some extracurricular knowledge, a burst of high-pitched and indescribable sounds suddenly came from the speakers...

In short, this is a bastard artificial intelligence: vengeful, petty, venomous, and black-bellied...

I don’t know which bastard developed it.

"Da Piaoliang, where did the old man go?" Bai Muye asked about the old man's whereabouts again.

In the past half month, he has been busy with cultural exams and various preparations before applying for No. 1 Middle School. He asked Da Piaoliang several times, but he didn't get the answer.

Now that he has no problem entering No. 1 Middle School, the old man still has no news. Bai Muye doesn't believe that he really disappeared without leaving a word.

"Are you begging me?" The beautiful shadow of the beautiful woman lifted her long wavy hair with her hand and looked at Bai Muye with raised eyebrows.

As expected!

"You won't tell me, right?" Bai Muye glanced at the switch.

"Hey, little brother, look, why are you killing me for fun?" Da Piaoliang looked aggrieved, pouting and said, "The master left you a video."

"Play it."

"Little brother, you can't do it now!"

"Why?"

"I have to finish my high school entrance exam."

"I have finished it." Bai Muye rolled his eyes.

"But you haven't received the admission notice yet!"

"You are already a mature brain, and you need to have the wisdom to match it. Can't you check the education system website yourself? If you can't do this, what's the use of you? It's better to divorce!"

"Little brother, divorce... refers to the malicious expulsion of the husband from his wife in the patriarchal society of the primitive era. This is not the primitive era, and I am not the little brother's wife, so you can't divorce me."

"Then I'll cut off the power!" Bai Muye said angrily, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up!"

Only the old man cherishes it so much, claiming that it is the most advanced artificial intelligence in the Zulong Empire, unparalleled in the world!

Come on, the old man's ability to brag is unparalleled in the world!

It's still the most advanced in the Zulong Empire. In Bai Muye's opinion, even in Feixian Star, no, even in Baihua City, there are many artificial intelligences that are more advanced than this!

Those artificial intelligences are so obedient, they do whatever they are told to do!

They will definitely not tease him for no reason, let alone put chopped green onions in his food!

Da Piaoliang is a black-hearted scumbag!

Apart from reporting him for no reason and acting cute in front of the old man, I haven't seen any different abilities.

The old man is not here now, and he has the final say in this family!

Dare not agree, I will cut off your power in a minute!

You still don't believe that I can't cure you?

"You are mean to me..."

Da Piaoliang looked aggrieved and pitiful, but Bai Muye was indifferent.

It's been so many years, and you are still playing this trick, it's useless!

My heart is as hard as iron!

Da Piaoliang failed to act cute, and she pouted and waved her hand, and the image of a dirty, long-haired old man suddenly appeared in the living room.

The first sentence he said was: "I'm not at home, don't bully Da Piaoliang!"

Da Piaoliang was moved, nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and was about to cry.

Drama!

Bai Muye ignored Da Piaoliang on the sofa, sat up straight, looked at the old man, and muttered: "How dare I bully her?"

"Child, in the blink of an eye, you have grown up!"

The old man's face was full of emotion.

Bai Muye was shocked!

Is this to be sentimental?

The old man can also be sentimental?

"You have been by my side all these years. You have completed all your studies at home. I have passed on all your experiences to you. You have hardly had any contact with the outside world."

"This is a little unfair to you, but it is also a kind of protection for you."

"What makes me happy is that you have not become autistic or introverted because of this. You are still cheerful and not afraid of dealing with strangers."

Bai Muye curled his lips. It would be difficult to become autistic when you are with you and Da Piaoliang every day, right?

After a pause, the old man said, "I did seal part of your memory. To be precise, it is your memory before the age of eleven."

Damn old man, it is you!

"You must be curious about your identity and origin." The old man's image had a wise light in his eyes.

Bai Muye raised his head suddenly.

"Actually, I am curious too." The old man said.

Bai Muye: "..."

"But I have a bold guess! Based on the place where you were found that year, I think you might come from that place..."

In the video, the old man's face became serious. He waved his hand, and a vast ocean appeared next to him. In the middle of the ocean, there was a large island.

Above the island, there were a few big characters written in iron and silver - Devil Island!

"This is a place that only exists in legends, and only a few people with a certain status know about it."

"The name Devil Island was also given by people outside."

"I have only heard about it, but I don't know much about it. I only know that it is a terrifying place."

"When I found you that year, you were not alone. There was a girl younger than you beside you."

"The reason I found you is because your spiritual fluctuations are too strong! I am a talisman master, and I am naturally sensitive to spiritual power. At that time, you didn't know any way to conceal spiritual power..."

The old man told Bai Muye that the girl's name was Lin Zijin.

The names of the two of them were not given later, but they both carried a nameplate with their names on it.

Sealing their memories was to prevent them from getting into trouble due to their impulsiveness; separating them was to prevent them from being too obvious if they were together; as for sealing their mental power... the reason was even simpler.

Not to mention Baihua City, even Feixian Star, or even the entire Zulong Empire, there is no one like Bai Muye.

A genius of the mental system!

A natural talisman master!

In fact, even Bai Muye himself doesn't know how much mental power he has, and the old man never tells you.

But it must have exceeded 200!

And the entire Feixian Star, with a population of 50 billion, has few people with mental power exceeding 100 at the age of 16 or 17.

Hundreds?

That's terrifying!

Once it gets out, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in an instant!

The old man wants Bai Muye to choose his own future path, instead of being treated like a national treasure.

"I guess you tried your best to escape from that place, or maybe you didn't want to be manipulated by others, so I have been sealing your mental power all these years..."

The old man did not tell him where Lin Zijin was now, only saying that he would definitely see her when the time came.

He also told Bai Muye that the double seal of his memory and mental power would not last too long.

"I'll leave you a book of talisman masters obtained from the ruins. I learned all my skills from there, but my talent is limited, so I only learned a little bit."

"You are different. You are a real genius. You will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

"I have been suppressing you for these years and not letting you learn in depth. It is precisely because you are too talented that you must lay a solid foundation..."

Bai Muye nodded silently. He understood the old man's painstaking efforts.

"Now you are going to high school, and your career is about to start. Even if I want to continue to suppress you, it is impossible. Fortunately, you have grown up. Remember, don't let anyone know about the existence of the Talisman Master's Book. Learn the knowledge about mental power in it first! So that you can continue to hide your true ability in the future."

"In this world, money, fame and fortune are all floating clouds, you must learn to be low-key. The first bird to stick out will be shot, and the rafters that stick out will rot first..."

"At the same time, you must practice diligently! I have taught you all the basics of becoming a Talisman Master. The rest of the road is up to you."

"Save your life first when you encounter danger. Only when you are alive can you have a future and hope."

"As for me, don't worry. Don't try to investigate the reason for my disappearance, otherwise it will bring you fatal disaster! Remember! This is not a joke."

The video materials left by the old man, more than an hour before and after, not only revealed a lot of information, but also a lot of suggestions about Bai Muye's future.

Yes, just suggestions.

The old man admitted that for a genius like Bai Muye, he could only teach some basic knowledge. The rest had to be done by himself.

Finally, the old man said solemnly, "Finally, there is one more very important thing."

Bai Muye sat up straight.

"We rent this house. The monthly rent is not expensive, just over 50,000..."

Bai Muye: "???"

"I will only pay the rent until the end of this month. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely..."

Bai Muye's eyes gradually widened, staring at the gradually fading image of the old man in amazement, and the whole person was stunned.

The house I have lived in for so many years is rented?

The monthly rent is more than 50,000... and that's it?

Is this human language?

Damn!

There are only three days left this month!

Do you have to be so ruthless?

Not only did you throw me away, but you also want me to be self-reliant?

But I have no money!
