Mystic Master of Rebirth

"Compulsory recruitment?" Su Luo still couldn't believe his ears when he heard it for the third time, and he rarely used a questioning tone: "How could the royal family be so rude? What is it? To actually use administrative power, this..."

Lin Jian nodded gloomily, confirming this ridiculous news again.After hearing the secret leaked by Jiang Biao in the morning, they were much more shocked than Su Luo is now. Firstly, they did not expect Jiang Biao to be so easy to please, and secondly, they did not expect the royal family's reaction to be so simple and rude.What about the etiquette that has been accumulated for hundreds of years?Have you fed the dog yet?

At that moment, Lin Jian felt the indignation of an emperor, a general, and a minister.

But no matter whether the royal family's etiquette includes feeding dogs, or whether the emperors and generals have breeds, they still have to accept this reality after calming down.Before fleeing in embarrassment, Jiang Biao gave them some legal knowledge, and told them that when the royal family was forced to hand over power, they had negotiated with the government. Because they were worried about their personal safety after losing power, they specially opened a small agreement for themselves in the treaty. back door.Once the royal family encounters a major crisis, domestic citizens can be ordered to provide help unconditionally, which is the so-called "conscript".

Moreover, it is free of charge.

"...So," Lin Jian barely suppressed the turbulent speechlessness in her chest, and tried not to spit out: "Although the recruiting seems to have no emotional intelligence, you still have to go."

Xiao Zhenyi slumped on the chair beside the hospital bed, and stared at him expressionlessly.

"Since it's decided to go, the police must make preparations, right?" Su Luo tried to change the subject: "What's the saying over there?"

Lin Jian let out a short sneer, and threw out a thick booklet with a wave of her hand, which made a muffled sound on the hospital bed.He fell back, stretched out his chin and pointed to the shit-yellow booklet that was half the thickness of a palm, and said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "I sent a training book on royal etiquette."

"and then?"

"Then?" Xiao Zhenyi scratched his nails boredly: "No then."

Su Luo couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? Novices are not familiar with the business, how can they be responsible for security work? Are they not afraid of messing things up?"

"From the perspective of occultism," Xiao Zhenyi continued to pick his nails: "The police are laymen and novices. They have also proposed several plans, but they are all unreliable... At first They plan to equip us with multi-functional bulletproof suits, but that kind of thing is full of metal filaments, which are purely designed to disturb Yin and Yang. You can see how useless it is."

He blew on his ticked fingers and finally looked up

"There is a specialization in the art industry. We were not invited to fight, kill and explode. At most, we will check the layout and structure of the royal family. When the time comes, we will sit firmly at the back and wait for orders. Just adapt to the situation."

Xiao Zhenyi glanced at Su Luo and Lin Jian, and gradually revealed a sincere smile.

"After all, mystic arts and strange arts are not gunfight movies, and most of the time they don't use violence."

Lin Jian rolled his eyes.

----

The royal family is involved, and the efficiency of the police has reached an unprecedented level. Only two hours after Jiang Biao "tactfully" informed them of the news, the two sets prepared for them did not know the price, but at first glance, they were expensive. The elegant formal clothes were delivered, and according to Jiang Biao, who came to deliver the clothes, as a gift, this should be a benefit specially distributed by the royal family in order to compensate.

"After all, passive sabotage is also very troublesome." Jiang Biao said sincerely.

Only an hour after the formal suits were issued, at 24:[-], the notice of the police exercise arrived in their hands-the royal family's welfare distribution was not aimless, and since there are formal suits, they should make the best use of them.The notice ordered them to rush to the palace as soon as possible to hold exercises and do safety checks for the upcoming banquet.

At [-]:[-] p.m., after finishing preparations, Lin Jian managed to get a few hairs from Bai Lin, who had already lost ten catties.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, they embarked on the way into the palace with Gao Daguan who was discharged from the hospital.

At [-]:[-], after a long drive, a majestic group of buildings finally appeared under the suspension vehicle.They stopped on the bluestone avenue shaded by green trees and looked up at the towering and splendid eaves and walls.A few minutes later, the police arrived in a hurry, their faces rather unsettled.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Biao asked with a frown.

The tall and thin connector glanced nervously at Gao Daguan before whispering: "The security level in the palace has been raised. It is said that the entire defense system is going to be tested."

Jiang Biao was a little surprised: "The cost of fully opening the defense system is simply astronomical, and the preparation is also very cumbersome. How can you test this properly?"

"I'm worried." The connector wiped the sweat from his forehead: "But the security system must be turned on to full..."

He glanced at Gao Daguan again, and stopped talking.

Beside Lin Jian, Su Luo, who accompanied him, explained in a low voice: "The palace's security system is very sophisticated and high-end. It is said that it can even directly defend against space weapons when it is fully activated. The police were unprepared."

Lin Jian blinked her eyes, and also lowered her voice: "Then what is the purpose of using this big move all of a sudden?"

"I don't know." There was a little more worry in Su Luo's gloomy voice. He looked up at the undulating cornices of the palace with a solemn expression: "But I always feel that the wind and rain are coming. In the past 40 years, the security system in full state has only been used twice. It caused endless troubles once, this time..."

He sighed, scanned the whispering crowd, and set his eyes on Gao Daguan's face.Since getting in the car, this fat face has returned to the standard posture of a high-ranking official, and he has remained calm all the way.But now the news brought by the police has obviously exceeded his psychological expectations. In such a cold afternoon, there are beads of sweat on his forehead.

Su Luo moved his eyes away, feeling a strong ominous feeling.

But no matter how it feels, work has to be done.Jiang Biao and Gao Daguan discussed a few words, and then began to assign tasks on the spot.Because of the emergency activation of the security system, a large number of people were temporarily arranged to help with the equipment in the palace's computer room, and the remaining manpower was suddenly stretched.Jiang Biao counted with his fingers in front of the crowd for a while, and finally had to tell Lin Jian and Xiao Zhenyi with regret that they had to act alone.

"Your task is to investigate the hidden dangers of metaphysics in the palace. Someone should have led the way..." Jiang Biao was a little embarrassed: "But now the police and the royal family are severely understaffed, so you can only trouble yourself. But Please rest assured, there are map directions everywhere in the palace, and you will never get lost."

When he said "please rest assured", his face contorted for a moment.

After entering the splendid gate of the imperial palace and parting ways in the foyer that was wide and tall enough to hold the next small building, Lin Jian realized what Jiang Biao's distorted face meant—at that time, there was no one in the huge corridor. (According to the police, all the staff have been mobilized urgently), he wandered alone under the gilded windows, admiring the decorations on the wall as he walked.Of course he doesn't understand the historical connotation, but he can still see good things.The strokes of these patterns are delicate, the lines are vivid, and the colors are novel and bold. Even if they look like a bunch of pure abstract messy curves, they still have a different kind of smooth beauty.

However, in the eyes of interested people, although these patterns have been covered up by a large number of smears, they still seem to have the shadow of Taoist talismans, but the line structure is too deformed, and it is difficult to judge the real purpose of talismans for a while.Lin Jian raised his head to study the pattern, and unconsciously, his eyes wandered. When he came back to look around, he was surrounded by tall and classical bookshelves and wooden cabinets, as if he had arrived in some inexplicable library.

He glanced around, and found the map that Jiang Biao had promised as he wished, and then saw dozens of ancient characters twisted into twisted shapes at a glance, but he didn't recognize any of them.

Lin Jian: EXCUSEME

Are you playing a fart of elegant retro on the map?

He stared at the yellowed oil paper for a few seconds, finally gave up, reached out and took out the glass compass he had prepared—originally, he asked Jiang Biao to find a compass, but with the rapid development of technology, he couldn’t find it even after running all over the antique market. To come up with such a feudal superstitious thing, and finally retreat to the next best thing and buy such a thing from the science exhibition hall, it is better than nothing.This dangling thing is extremely difficult to use, but it is still good enough to point the way.He held the glass base flat, rotated it three times on the palm, and began to mumble the guiding spell.

This was originally a small spell in Maoshan Art, a trick that is occasionally used when getting lost in the wild.As long as you read it, there will be a dark wind blowing the pointer, leading people to where they want to go.But after reading it this time, the pointer still didn't move, and it had no effect.Lin Jian looked up in amazement, trying to see if something was wrong, but a long sigh came from behind.

"Hi, Mr. Lin." An elegant male voice said.

Lin Jian quickly turned around to look around, but only saw a shadow.He blinked and narrowed his eyes, only to see the man in black leaning on the bookshelf in the shadows.The man's face was clear and handsome, but his face was terribly pale. It looked like a piece of thin and transparent white paper, which was about to fly into the sky with one breath.His figure looked even more terrifying than his face—it was completely thin into a shadow, almost blending into the darkness.

But Lin Jian recognized this pale face. After all, he had seen its rosy face in various videos of the news media. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, "His Royal Highness?"

The man in black let out a chuckle, and nodded his white chin slightly.

"Mr. Lin has good eyesight." He said slowly.

Lin Jian's mind was already in a mess. The moment he saw the prince, the terrible scene in the hospital corridor a few days ago was swaying in his mind. Lin groaned strangely, and for a moment, hot blood rushed to his face.He quickly changed the subject: "What is Your Highness doing here?"

His Highness the Crown Prince laughed again, with indescribable joy in his voice. "Me," he said slowly, "I'm waiting for an opportunity, and I'm also waiting for a few people. Now people have waited, only..."

Before the voice fell, the loud and mechanical voice of the AI ​​broke the silence of the dusk, buzzing and echoing in the walls and ceiling, and it sounded deafening: "Attention all units, attention all units, prepare for the emergency state of the defense system. Attention all units... "

"Looks like the time has come." The prince raised his head and murmured, "Good luck."

He lowered his head, nodded slightly towards Lin Jian, and then a green light flashed from his cuffs, and a vine shot out through the air, binding Lin Jian who was still in a daze tightly.
