Chapter 148: Confrontation, Briefing, and Return to No. 3 Middle School!
The Xingfu Street was empty and deserted.
Standing on the wet cement road, there were a few candles.
Three cars were parked on it, and the hard iron sheet was cold and lonely.
The cold night wind blew, making people feel desolate.
"Get in the car."
Chen Zhiqing put his left hand on Huang Ye's shoulder, and his tone was caring.
"Are we going back to Shibacheng?"
Huang Ye sat in the back seat and asked.
"Yes, it's still too chaotic here. It's not safe for you to stay here."
"If something happens, it will be a loss for Shibacheng."
Chen Zhiqing sat heavily on the cushion, then closed the door heavily and looked at the driver of the contract master: "Go back to the Criminal Investigation Department."
These people are all good players in the Criminal Investigation Department and were also Chen Yilin's subordinates before.
They respect Chen Lao very much.
"Are there any results?"
Huang Ye asked with curiosity.
Chen Zhiqing knew what he was asking: "It is preliminarily determined that they are hoarding the food needed by the weird believers."
A few days ago, a large-scale massacre against the extraordinary people took place here, with more than 500 casualties, which attracted the attention of the Eighteen Cities. Even the captain of the criminal investigation team led a team to station here for investigation.
The current preliminary investigation results are mainly leaning towards the weird path.
This is also a reasonable speculation.
After all, only the weird path requires a large number of extraordinary people to devour.
"Let's go there to rest for a night and take the subway back to the city tomorrow morning."
Chen Zhiqing smiled slightly.
When they arrived at the temporary criminal investigation department, the living area arranged was an iron bed with upper and lower bunks for six people.
The room was dim, Huang Ye huddled in the quilt, and he could always sense the vague sight of him.
There was even a supernatural power, boldly exploring himself.
It seemed that he was not worried that he could find it, and perhaps there was also a sense of temptation.
The second day came quickly.
Huang Ye was picked up by a car, and took the subway with Principal Chen and returned to the Eighteen Cities.
"This is your alma mater."
"I should show some respect, so I'll bring you here first."
Chen Zhiqing seemed to be in a particularly good mood when he came to the familiar gate of Beastmaster No. 3 Middle School. Although his face was still stern, Huang Ye could feel that he was relaxing.
"Thank you for the arrangement, Principal Chen." Huang Ye said politely.
"Don't call me principal anymore, it's not appropriate." Chen Zhiqing waved his one arm.
He took him into the campus.
Today is a normal class day for the first and second year of high school.
And the third year students, after the college entrance examination, will also return to school to get their graduation certificates today.
The Contract City is not big, with only 23 cities.
The results will be released very quickly. According to past experience, it is estimated that they should be released in the next few days.
"There are nine classes in the third year of high school. During the hell advancement, three classes happened to hold graduation banquets in the surrounding area."
"Your second class is unfortunately among them."
"You are lucky to be alive."
Chen Zhiqing patted Huang Ye on the shoulder, feeling a little scared.
The two walked towards the campus.
The students were wearing blue and white school uniforms, and their faces were full of youth.
It seemed that they didn't care too much about what happened in recent days.
"But why didn't you go at that time?"
Chen Zhiqing changed the subject, and his tone was like home.
After the last Hell Advancement incident ended, he recharged Huang Ye with 10,000 yuan of phone bills and asked about this matter.
But after learning that Huang Ye was still alive, the most important worry was also resolved. He didn't ask more about what he did, but asked him to go to the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Now that the old things were brought up again, Huang Ye heard the sharpness and distrust.
It made his eyes looking at the campus more cold.
"I said I'm not interested in group activities, do you believe it?"
Huang Ye replied calmly, throwing the question back.
"I believe it, but it's not enough." Principal Chen smiled.
Huang Ye was silent for a moment: "Actually, I went to study the summoning of contracted beasts."
"So I rejected the beast pet you offered."
This made Chen Zhiqing's eyes stop on Huang Ye's cold face.
He stopped and narrowed his eyes: "What's the result?"
"Silver." Huang Ye looked back at the other party.
"What kind?" Chen Zhiqing was slightly surprised, and then nodded slowly.
This quality is not bad, indicating that the potential and upper limit are very good.
"Buzz——"
The divine contract disk appeared behind Huang Ye's mind.
The golden light made the students around him exclaim.
Afterwards, a queen ant who was tasting meat in the depths of the cave and preparing to give birth actively was pulled out of the consciousness space, and in a blink of an eye, she appeared on the floor tiles of the campus.
"嘤嘤嘤~"
(Where did you get me?)
Looking at this unfamiliar environment, the queen ant was stunned at first, and then nervously approached Huang Ye's thigh.
Looking at the surprised and curious eyes around, she wanted to bury her head in the cracks of the bricks.
Yes, the beast control space in Huang Ye's divine disk has disappeared and has been replaced by a larger consciousness space.
In the future, as the administrator's authority increases, it will be able to accommodate more beasts and pets.
The supply of energy will also be more stable and reliable.
"The giant ant with a completely different head."
Huang Ye stroked its hard armor and spoke.
Chen Zhiqing looked at the ant sticking to Huang Ye's thigh and acted coquettishly, and his heart trembled.
Even though he had taught for many years and read many cutting-edge reports and research, it was still beyond his cognition!
Ants can also be extraordinary? !
This is simply beyond the conclusion of all experts and scholars!
And its size is even larger than that of crocodiles!
How can it be contracted? ! !
"Yes, this unique extraordinary item can only be obtained by summoning!"
"Just like the twelve zodiac signs, you can't see it with your own eyes!"
"But he is so bold to gamble, isn't he afraid of being forced to contract the lowest quality black iron!"
"Where does he get the courage!"
Chen Zhiqing looked at the ant in shock, his face tense.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
But Huang Ye's next words made his pupils tremble!
"It's still the queen ant." Huang Ye's calm words made Chen Zhiqing dumbfounded.
He was well-informed and trembling all over.
At the first time, he realized how terrifying the strategic value of this extraordinary was.
If it was the queen ant, it could completely form an extraordinary army!
The strategic value is greater than any single beast pet!
"Where are the ants born!"
His chest rose and fell, and his eyes were anxious.
Chen Zhiqing really wanted to know the result.
It can even be determined whether Huang Ye can occupy the top level in the contract path.
"It is also an extraordinary ant."
"The lowest is black iron, the highest is bronze."
Huang Ye told this answer, but concealed the fact that he could give birth to a new queen ant.
But this was enough to make Chen Zhiqing's mind blank.
This can stably produce extraordinary biological characteristics, which is extremely good news for all apprentice contract masters, which means a stable supply!
Whether it is strategic value or economic value, it is difficult to estimate!
Extraordinary creatures can be artificially cultivated and sold!
The list he provided to Huang Ye at the Martyrs Cemetery was artificially domesticated creatures!
And Huang Ye is the only one who occupies this position!
Chen Zhiqing immediately foresaw that even if Huang Ye could not become a powerful contract master, he could become a supplier of contract masters and provide selected bronze-level beast pets!
This is a very good choice for many poor families!
However, his face changed and he thought more deeply.
Although this queen ant can obtain a large army of ants, it also means that the number of ants born will not be too large, and may even occupy the beast control space, losing the route of multiple beast pets!
Unless the number of new ants is controlled within a very small range!
Chen Zhiqing briefly summarized, with joy and sorrow, gains and losses.
"Put it away."
He looked at the students who were gathering more and more, and reminded them immediately.
Then drove away the group of surprised students.
They didn't even know how valuable this place was.
In Chen Zhiqing's opinion, even some of them would buy beast pets provided by Huang Ye in the future.
Although the bronze grade is not high, it is more stable.
For poor families, the price to buy bronze ones may be the income of their parents for many years.
And the silver quality is the life savings of two families and six wallets.
As for gold, it is priced but not in market, and is only for rich businessmen and politicians, and will not flow into the market at all.
Most people can only get black iron and bronze.
Although students who have just entered the contract division can choose to summon beast pets, it is tantamount to buying lottery tickets.
What can be obtained is also at this level, and bronze may not even be stable.
"Why are you sure that you will get such creatures!"
Chen Zhiqing asked, staring at his eyes when he saw the other party put away the queen ant.
He seemed to be curious, but in fact he set a very deep language trap.
Because summoning beast pets is random and cannot be confirmed.
"I am not sure either, I just have a hunch."
Huang Ye shook his head and did not fall into it: "The textbook also said that the grade of the beast pets people summon is strongly related to the grade of the contract master's divine plate."
"Research has shown that the higher the grade of the divine plate, the greater the probability of obtaining high-level extraordinary creatures."
"So I gambled. Although I didn't bet on a gold-grade beast pet, at least I wasn't disappointed."
These words made Chen Zhiqing unable to find fault.
Even his eyes were complicated: "Why take such a risk."
"This time you won the bet and got a rare beast pet."
"But even if the probability is small, it is possible to get bronze and black iron, then your life will be ruined!"
Huang Ye did not answer.
Instead, he looked into the eyes of Principal Chen.
This exchange of glances made Chen Zhiqing's pupils tremble and his body staggered slightly.
In an instant, he remembered something.
At the Martyrs' Cemetery, he had expectations and pressure on Huang Ye.
That was to let Huang Ye avenge him after he grew up.
To say this was purely to give Huang Ye a long-term goal so that he would not slack off on the path of cultivation.
But in fact, Chen Zhiqing had arranged his students to annihilate the ideal country.
The result was quite satisfactory. The square-faced General Liang, who had caused him to lose his beast pet and right arm, was killed, and most of the cultists also died in the mountains.
It was a pity that the hell was missing.
Looking at Huang Ye's calm eyes, Chen Zhiqing felt inexplicably guilty in his cold, numb and complicated heart.
"Because of me?"
Chen Zhiqing laughed and said, "Then you went home to prepare for the summoning ceremony?"
"At least the result was good, wasn't it?" After Huang Ye guided his guess, he did not say more.
Instead, he patted the principal's shoulder with comfort and walked towards the campus first.
Chen Zhiqing was left looking at Huang Ye's back, feeling lonely and self-blaming.
He didn't want to say it clearly. He felt too many doubts about Huang Ye.
These were all thorns that he couldn't help but remove.
Therefore, he became sensitive, suspicious and distrustful.
The most important thing was his persuasion of Huang Ye. It was so dangerous, why didn't he listen to his advice and had to go back to the ruins of the rioters.
The suspicion derived from this made Chen Zhiqing recall that when he advanced to the hell, Huang Ye did not go to the graduation banquet. Although he survived, he also couldn't find an explanation to convince himself.
Now this conversation not only made him feel relieved, but also depressed.
"Have I really changed a lot?"
Chen Zhiqing murmured slightly, alone in the wind.
His heart was pulled up, with unspeakable bitterness.
Knowing that such a mean and ruthless self was the most annoying state he had ever encountered.
Once the teacher had such a personality, he would criticize him seriously, thinking that this would not be good for the education of students at all, and would only make them feel disgusted, thus affecting their interest in class.
"But I can't change it!"
Chen Zhiqing smiled bitterly, and his vision was slightly blurred.
The pet that had accompanied him for decades died, and hundreds of students died overnight, including his only son.
How could he face such a reality calmly?
How could he return to his previous life of leisure and freedom?
I have nothing left, don't blame me.
He continued to take deep breaths and adjust his state.
He wiped his eyes, then passed many young and tender faces and followed Huang Ye's pace.
At this time.
On the school playground.
A large stage was set up, with a bright red carpet.
Many students in the first and second grades of high school stood neatly and seriously under the stage, looking around curiously.
And those graduates holding graduation certificates were also dressed in different clothes, standing behind the crowd to join in the fun and glance around.
"What's so grand?"
"Don't you know?"
"Our school has a genius named Jinpin!"
"This is the school's statement!"
"By the way, do some publicity to recruit new students after the summer vacation!"
"Jinpin! Oh, damn, why didn't I know!"
"Don't blame you, I only heard about it before the college entrance examination. It is said that he awakened quite late."
"Ah? So late, didn't Jinpin show his talent in junior high school?"
"Yes, so it's an isolated case, and the celebration is held so late."
"Who is that? Maybe I know him."
"Huang Ye from Class 2, Grade 3, the psychological counselor, you too, should have seen him."
"I've met him, he's a very calm person, but Class 2, Grade 3... it seems that no one has come to receive their graduation certificates yet."
"Shh, don't you know about Class 2, Class 5, and Class 8?"
"I know, but there are still survivors. All other classes are here, but no one from Class 2 is here."
"Maybe... they don't want to face it."
The classmates talked at once, with a look of disappointment on their faces.
They were all students of the same school, and some of them had even met each other.
But in the blink of an eye, they were separated forever.
They looked at the high school diplomas in their hands, and their eyes were dim.
"Jinpin is here!"
"Jinpin who stayed in Shibacheng!"
At this moment.
I don't know who shouted.
Everyone's eyes were cast on the cold-faced teenager at the bottom of the dance floor.
