Chapter 36: The Assassination of a National Treasure Genius
Bai Muye was somewhat tired after experiencing a storm.
After school, he did not go to buy a car. After saying goodbye to everyone, he took a taxi home.
After arriving home, he did not eat dinner and lay lazily on the sofa in a daze.
Although the incident had passed, it had brought him a great shock.
He did not know what kind of person Mu Xi was.
For him, he just did not like Mu Xi's personality before, but now he felt that this person was very dangerous!
No one dared to pat his chest to guarantee that Mu Xi did not dare to take action, and no one dared to say that the three sword talismans he held between his fingers at that time did not want to kill people.
Because they did not understand, there was no trust at all.
Bai Muye did not feel complacent about his decisive action at that time to stop the possible bloodbath. Instead, his heart was filled with an inexplicable anxiety.
The dimension space suddenly descended on Baihua City without any signs before, facing the fear, tension and powerlessness of life and death.
There is great terror between life and death!
Those who have not experienced it will never understand.
The so-called calmness is nonsense.
So even if he assisted the city guards to kill the black ghost and made the most correct choice, when he recalled the scene afterwards, he was only tingling and grateful.
This time, Mu Xi dared to take out the three swords talisman against Shan Gu in front of the whole class... In the final analysis, they were not strong enough!
If he could show his true strength, so many people would not die when the dimensional space suddenly descended!
The mere black ghost would not bring them so much trouble and fear.
If his mental power was not sealed, would Mu Xi dare to take out the offensive talisman against his friends?
Aren't you afraid of being crushed into slag in an instant?
In the final analysis, the ability he showed was too weak.
Who would care about you, a weak chicken?
Low-key?
Low-key!
I have the ability, why do I have to be low-key? Who do you want to be low-key for?
At this moment, he even blamed the old man in his heart.
Why do you have to seal the mental power?
There are endless geniuses in the empire, and aren't they all living well?
For a young man, fame and status may not be so strongly desired.
But the resources and growth environment that a top genius can enjoy are very different from what he has now!
No matter how unambitious one is, with talent, who doesn't want to make himself better?
Sealing the originally super high mental power is like forcing a top student to only get 60 points in every exam.
Obviously, he can do it, but he is forced not to do it.
It's so uncomfortable!
"Could it be that the old man has foreseen that once I enter the campus, I will have this rebellious mentality, so he just ran away? Isn't he afraid that I will suddenly encounter danger and can't save myself?"
Just then, a light curtain suddenly appeared in the living room.
"Big Piaoliang, stop it!"
Bai Muye shouted a little impatiently, but then he was stunned.
"Emergency news, a tragedy occurred on Ziyun Star, the empire's genius rookie talisman master Zhao Mengning was stabbed in the street... It has been confirmed that the person is dead."
Zhao Mengning... was killed?
What's going on?
Even if Bai Muye never leaves his house, he has heard of this national treasure-level genius who is famous throughout the empire!
According to the information, Zhao Mengning was born in poverty, but his mental power is naturally strong.
At the age of nine, he was specially recruited into the affiliated primary school under the First College of the Empire.
Enjoy the best resources and treatment.
From then on, he rose to prominence!
In just a few years, he became famous.
Zhao Mengning is nineteen years old this year. As a freshman in the First College, his mental power has reached two hundred and ninety-two!
An outrageously young senior talisman master!
Senior talisman master is an achievement that many talisman masters cannot achieve in their lifetime!
If geniuses like Wan Xiong and Mu Xi have unlimited future prospects, then Zhao Mengning is high in the clouds!
Compared with him, Wan Xiong and Mu Xi can only be regarded as talents at best.
But the accident happened to him.
Is this really an accident?
Thinking of the scene where the old man would talk nonsense for a long time every time he sealed his spiritual power.
Bai Muye suddenly felt a chill.
Ziyun is extremely far away from Feixian, separated by countless galaxies.
But Bai Muye had heard of this person a few years ago.
Because at that time even the old man praised him highly, saying that Zhao Mengning was indeed a genius and a future divine talisman master.
But the old man also said at that time that this person was not as good as Bai Muye.
At that time, Bai Muye was a little proud.
Speaking of which, he has rarely heard about Zhao Mengning in the past two years.
Except for occasionally showing up in some key competitions, Zhao Mengning has become very low-key.
Unexpectedly, the next time he heard about him, he was assassinated?
And... just now!
Even if the interstellar network delay from Ziyun to Feixian is included, this incident will never exceed an hour!
A national treasure-level genius was assassinated on the street on the capital planet?
Too unbelievable!
"It is reported that the murderer who assassinated Zhao Mengning has committed suicide on the spot, and the identity of the murderer has also been confirmed. It is Zhao Mengning's girlfriend who has been dating for three years. The specific cause is yet to be found out... This accident is really a pity!"
Bai Muye stared in amazement, feeling a chill enveloping his whole body.
Killed by his girlfriend?
Why?
Bai Muye quickly turned on his personal intelligent brain and said, "Big Piaoliang, check for relevant information about Zhao Mengning for me!"
In an instant, countless news appeared densely on the light screen projected in front of him.
Bai Muye clicked on one and entered the discussion area. He wanted to see how others commented on this matter.
Most of the posts that were topped were analyzing the cause of Zhao Mengning's death.
"I am a classmate of Zhao Mengning. The incident just happened, and we still can't accept that it is true."
"There are too many speculations about this incident on the Internet. There are all kinds of rumors, all of which come out at once. I didn't want to say anything, but we classmates can't accept the insults to Mengning by some trolls."
"So I only say the facts I know, and I won't say anything about the other things I don't know."
"First of all, my classmates and I, including a large number of teachers and students in the First Academy, can guarantee one thing: Mengning is fine!"
"He is neither a spoiled and willful man, nor does he have a twisted mind, nor does he have any perverted hobbies. He is a kind and good person, and our best partner, He is the best assistant in our eyes. "
"Secondly, about Meng Ning's girlfriend. What I want to say is that with Meng Ning's talent, his girlfriend must have been examined by the authorities. From the time they met until now, the two have always had a good relationship. His girlfriend and we also have a harmonious relationship. "
"Don't doubt what I said. A large group of us get along with each other day and night, and a large number of teachers and students from the First Academy can confirm it. We have never seen Meng Ning quarrel with his girlfriend. The relationship between the two is really good. "
"So I don't know why this tragedy happened, and I won't make random guesses. I also ask all friends to be kind in their words - all Meng Ning's classmates and friends, thank you! "
This is a post that has been pushed to the top.
After reading it, Bai Muye felt even more confused.
Continue to read on.
"Regarding Zhao Mengning's girlfriend, I believe the authorities must have reviewed his girlfriend's identity, life experience and growth trajectory. After all, a national treasure-level genius, the empire cannot fail to consider his safety."
"But I infer that his girlfriend is most likely a chess piece! And a chess piece that is extremely hidden and can be discarded at any time! If you don't believe it, just wait for the official investigation! If you can find out."
There are more below.
"There are many factions within the empire, and several princes can do anything for that position. Check who is the big boss behind Zhao Mengning in recent years, and then check the grievances between that big boss and other people, maybe you can find some answers."
"In addition, I want to say that don't forget that there are also the Holy Empire and the Canghai Empire. The current peace does not mean that they are willing to see such a genius rise in our Zulong. Finally, I would like to remind those national treasure-level geniuses that you are all future God Warriors and God Talisman Masters, so you must pay attention to safety! After all, this kind of thing is not the first time it has happened."
Bai Muye felt a little unwell when he saw this.
Not the first time it happened?
Could it be that such a tragedy has happened before?
A top-level genius with outstanding talent died before he could grow up?
"Big Piaoliang, check the news about top-level geniuses who have had accidents in the past five hundred years."
The information on the screen in front of him changed instantly.
Looking at the information flow that fell like water, Bai Muye became unusually silent.
Originally, after reading those posts, he was generally more inclined to the one posted by classmate Zhao Mengning.
Don't make random guesses, and don't let this matter be linked to conspiracy theories.
If you can't even trust your girlfriend who you have been with day and night for three years, who can you trust?
So, whether it's a chess piece, a prince's fight for the throne, or an assassination by an enemy country, they are all guesses.
Bai Muye would rather believe that this was a passionate murder.
After all, human nature is the most difficult to guess and grasp.
Just like Mu Xi, he and Shan Gu don't even have a big grudge, let alone a deep hatred. But who can guarantee that he won't kill?
So who knows what stimulated Zhao Mengning's girlfriend at that time?
Maybe she wanted to eat chicken legs but her boyfriend didn't buy them for her...
But after seeing the relevant information about the accidents of young geniuses in the Zulong Empire in the past five hundred years, Bai Muye could only remain silent.
Because there are many similar cases to Zhao Mengning's!
Almost all of the perpetrators were people around him!
Some of them finally found out the reason and made the truth known to the world.
It was nothing more than the enemy of the boss behind the genius, or the agent of other empires.
But more of them became unsolved cases, and no convincing answer has been given until today.
So Zhao Mengning's case is by no means an isolated case!
There are at least a thousand outstanding geniuses who have fallen in the past five hundred years.
Once these people grow up, even if they are not at the god level, they will at least be the top grandmasters, and they will surely become the backbone of the Zulong Empire!
In the past, the old man only told Bai Muye: A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a genius is easy to break.
"You can be outstanding, even very outstanding, but if you are a monster... then you will be very dangerous."
These are the original words of the old man.
It's just that the old man has never shown him these things.
If it weren't for this sudden incident, Bai Muye was even sulking and complaining about the old man just now.
What about now?
Are you still blaming him for sealing his mental power?
Do you still want to show your bright feathers to others like a peacock?
Do you still want to become famous as early as possible?
Do you still want to shock others with your strong talent and strength?
The first lesson that the old man asked him to learn from the Talisman Master's Book is how to hide himself!
This is not asking him to play the pig and eat the tiger, this is teaching him how to save his life!
Why is this world so terrible?
The biting coldness in Bai Muye's body could not dissipate for a long time.
If one day, this kind of assassination happens to me, what should I do?
Can I avoid it with super high mental power?
Bai Muye sighed and turned off his personal intelligence brain. The virtual light screen in the living room was still on, playing news about the accident.
But his mind had drifted to other places.
Bai Muye was thinking seriously, what if there was a passive, instantaneous defensive talisman?
Would it be able to prevent such a sudden and unexpected attack?
For example, if someone suddenly attacked him, the knife had already stabbed into his body. At this time, if there is a passive instantaneous talisman, can it prevent this level of assassination?
Bai Muye stood up and walked towards the study.
He wanted to verify this matter!
It is better to take precautions before they happen. There is no need for the old man to nag and urge him.
He already understood.
