Abyssal Kingdom

The time for the prayer meeting is coming soon.

It was very cloudy that day, and the dark clouds piled up in the sky like soldiers, which was disturbing.

The major cities in the Federation all have weather control systems, but this technology is particularly advanced, not based on the traditional central air-conditioning theory, but from the mysterious chaotic system of ancient civilizations.As early as the era of slavery, people were able to control the weather in cities through some remnants of "artifacts". Modern people have made a more systematic induction. All major cities are equipped with these things. They still don't quite know where the energy comes from.

On the day of the blessing meeting, Wei An contacted a friend who was also planning to go early, and chose a dark but casual coat, which made him extraordinarily handsome and gentle, unaware of the sufferings of the world.

He carefully selected a jacket with a handsome style and soft material for Gui Ling. This jacket made him look very cool, modified the part of him that was too fierce, and turned it into a cool and handsome style that modern civilization can appreciate. It is Wei An. After thinking about the result for a long time.

He also asked Gui Ling to wear a pair of his newly bought contact lenses to block the man's disturbing eyes.

Afterwards, Wei An spent another 10 minutes combing his hair, and Gui Ling asked him to toss it expressionlessly, his eyes seemed to have murderous intent.

Until he was completely satisfied with his appearance, Wei An admired it and was ready to go out.

He found the car key and handsomely threw it to Gui Ling, who watched it fall on his lap with a blank expression.

"Drive." Wei An said.

With that said, he strolled out into the garden and waited for service.

The clouds in the sky are gloomy and huge, but they haven’t completely covered the sky yet. The sunlight gives it a spectacular and destructive outline, which is a bit like describing the clouds on the oil painting of war, full of drama.

Under such clouds, in fact, everyone is still living an ordinary life day by day.

Gui Ling drove out the car and parked in front of Wei An.

The man was sitting in the driver's seat, with half of his body bathed in the somewhat yellow sunlight. He was just here, and it didn't feel like anything good would happen.

Wei An looked at him for a few seconds, sighed, opened the door of the back seat, and sat on the leather seat.

"Don't use autopilot, drive yourself." He said to Guiling.

Manual driving has always been popular in the upper class everywhere, and they may feel that it is more humane and tasteful than automatic.

Guiling didn't say anything, turned off the reminder of the automatic driving function, switched to manual, and drove the car out of the lane.

Wei An didn't know if the Ministry of Science had asked Gui Ling to drive, probably not, but he drove quite steadily.

The traffic in the city is a bit congested, and it's normal for this kind of thing to happen.

Tongyun handled it well. Although there were a few places under martial law today, the traffic management did their best and there were not many traffic jams.

Three blocks away from the blessing meeting, the patrolling AI increased significantly, and the speed of the car slowed down.There are signs to guide parking on both sides of the road. This is to avoid too many vehicles entering the vicinity of Tongyun Square and causing traffic jams.

There is a parking lot for VIPs at the hotel, but after thinking about it, Wei An decided to park nearby and take a walk there.

Although the sky is a bit gloomy, the clouds are piled up on the edge of the city, making the city's sun shine brighter. Taoyuan is just in spring and flowers are blooming. You should take a walk and feel the beauty of the world.

He asked Guiling to park his car in an automatic parking lot outside, so he didn't have to go to the hotel's VIP parking area to make trouble, there must be a lot of pressure there.

Guiling turned around according to the instructions, and many cars were coming in this direction, all of them were civilians, many of them came from the outskirts of the city to participate in this blessing activity.

Guiling parked the car in the mobile parking space with an accuracy of not more than one centimeter. He is a master of driving.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the main square.

Along the way, many people walked in the same direction, some parked nearby, and many came by public transportation. Most of them held mourning flowers or souvenirs in their hands.

As they approached Tongyun Square, the center of the blessing meeting, the crowd became denser and denser.

As the largest open square in the area, many people have already gathered here, and Wei An can see the flow of people gathered from a distance. The official security team maintains order and avoids chaos and overcrowding.

For a while, the sky became more gloomy, as if it was covered with ink, like night, as if there would be a storm at any time.

Gui Ling looked ahead, dark clouds spread over his head, his expression made Wei An nervous.

Wei An thought, he knew what he was going to do next, he would go to the auction and leave after spending enough money.

They continued on, across the square.

The order here is pretty good, the crowd density is not too large, and the police, guides, and security robots are also reasonably distributed.

The venue is very romantic. There are large areas of flowers on the open ground in the center, all of which were brought by the public, and people keep putting down new bouquets.

Some photos of the deceased were placed under the gorgeous sea of ​​flowers, some were from Yinwan, and some were from the tragedy in the museum. They were all lonely black and white photos.

Although Wei An knows that the exact number of deaths in Yinwan has not yet been calculated, and the list of the dead in the museum case has not been released, but the worries and sorrows are so great that they need to be grandly expressed, commemorated, gathered, comforted and exported.

Wei An walked through the crowd. There were young couples snuggling together, children holding hands with their parents, and vendors selling fruits and snacks, as well as commemorative badges.

On the stage, the local chief executive spoke excitedly about how cruel, terrifying and shocking the recent series of events were. He promised that the murderer would definitely pay the price, and no matter what he did or how long it took, he would never let go Pass.

A leaflet was stuffed in Wei An's hand, with the iconic flowers of Taoyuan printed on it, saying that he hoped that mankind would live in peace and that everyone could live a peaceful life.

Of course everyone here is talking about the tragedy, and Wei An's circle of friends has been talking about it these days. He has never participated in all kinds of tragic successors, guesses, and worries.

He is a person who is good at disguising, and he also participated in many disaster-related work back then. He was in charge of the scene, dealt with cumbersome files, talked with the victim’s family, or traveled half the universe to track down the person in charge. , but he still didn't know what to say in front of this kind of thing, all the rhetoric he had learned seemed too weak and too fake, it was better to keep silent.

He didn't stop at the square, walked through the flowers, photos of the dead and the noisy crowd, and walked into the hotel where the charity auction was held.

Rambler Hotel is located on the east side of Tongyun Square, and it is the most magnificent hotel in the area.

The interior space of the building is very open, elegant and quiet. When you walk in, you don't feel like you are in a commercial building, but like you are in a garden.

Wei An walked in with Guiling, and chatted with him all the way, saying that the daylilies here are very beautiful, and he has also planted some different varieties this year, which of them are ancient varieties, which are newly cultivated, what are the differences, etc. , very professional.Gui Ling followed behind with no expression on his face.

When meeting acquaintances on the road, Wei An would casually say hello and talk about charity, business or gardening club topics.

When someone asks who Guiling is, he will casually say that this is his new bodyguard, and lament that the world is not peaceful recently, and it is better to have someone in front of him.

Everyone expressed that this is indeed the case, and they have also increased their security forces, and now they don't know what will happen again these days.

Not far from the meeting hall, Wei An ran into a vice president of the Charity Association. Both of them smiled and greeted politely.

They sighed a few words about the recent situation. When they were talking, the vice president looked at Guiling from time to time, and Wei An made a casual introduction again.

The vice president looked at his companion with a kind look.

"He looks really nice, can you give it to me," said the man.

Wei An was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "How can that be, don't poach the corner as soon as we meet, I finally found a bodyguard."

"I'm serious. I'll introduce other bodyguards to you. I'm sure they're all from the top private soldiers of big companies." The vice president said, looking at the people behind him, "I just really like him this way." They are stylish and handsome, but nowadays not many young people have this kind of temperament, most of them seem submissive."

He looked at Guiling with friendly and cold eyes.

"I know you're usually conservative," he said to Wei An again, "I promise I won't do anything too much to him, unlike indentured slaves, they're just at the level of hired labor."

Only then did Wei An realize what he was talking about.

This is very common in the upper class. It is a question that people often ask about their favorite items. Wei An was not used to it when he was a child, but...everything can be used.

He smiled at the vice-chairman, the way this circle should always have done.

"No," he said, "Wei Ling is not so much a bodyguard as a friend, that is, something happened to his family a few years ago, and the situation was not very good, so I asked him to come and help."

He patted Gui Ling on the shoulder, pretending to be a very close friend.

Gui Ling looked at the vice president with a calm and sizing look, but it gave people goosebumps.Wei An exerted a little force on his hands, signaling him to just stand here and not move.

"That's really a pity." The vice president said, "I think he also has a good background."

He looked appreciative, as if he wanted to chat for a while longer to see if there was any chance, Wei An quickly said that he had an appointment, bid him farewell, and took Gui Ling away.

"Don't kill him." He said to Guiling.

The person next to him gave a slow "hmm".

"I'm serious." Wei An said.

"I don't just kill people who don't like me," Gui Ling said, "I have a contract."

"That's what you say, but you have killed many people in the Science Department," Wei An said, "I have read your previous information, and once you directly destroyed the entire large experimental area, the number of dead people was not counted in the end."

"Ah," Gui Ling said, "That time they were real, they went too far."

He spoke slowly, and there was a kind of gloomy hatred in it, which made people chill.

Wei An didn't have to know about this kind of thing, he didn't say anything about it, and he didn't ask.

He thought for a while and said, "If you cause any trouble, I will help you solve it. I have done many such things, but you will always live a peaceful life with me here."

Gui Ling glanced at him and said, "I don't kill him, he just asked my price."

Wei An was stunned for a moment, not sure what to say for a moment, he thought to the Science Department, if an unqualified person asked the price of Guiling, it would be to the point of death.

They continued to walk forward, Wei An ran into an acquaintance again, he smiled reflexively, and Gui Ling stood behind him, looking like a cool bodyguard.

After saying hello, the two continued to move forward.

"Here, you won't encounter things like those in the Science Department." Wei An said, "This is a peaceful place. You are my friend. Let me tell you, most people are still very polite."

"I'm not your friend." Gui Ling said.

Wei An turned to look at him and said, "Don't say that."

He smiled, his expression was very gentle, but very firm and unquestionable.

"Let me be more specific," Wei An said, "you are not allowed to say anything that we are not friends or have nothing to do with you. I know you don't like this place, but since things have already happened, you have to cooperate with my life. I say what you are, and you are what you are."

Gui Ling closed his mouth and did not speak again, Wei An's instructions were very clear, there was nothing to say.

He just needs to dress up as he likes honestly, stand beside him handsomely, and be his friend.
