mysterious forerunner

Chapter 40 Painting across the sky
Zhang Qingxiang called the phone: "I caught him, come back and pick me up."

Zhang Ruiqian said nothing on the phone, and a minute later the helicopter appeared overhead with a loud noise.

Before the helicopter could descend to a safe height, Zhang Ruiqian had already jumped out, creating a big hole in the highway with a bang.

Zhang Ruiqian rushed over quickly: "Are you injured..."

Zhang Qingxiang held the iron box and opened his arms: "It's okay. Dad, you have to have some confidence in your son in the future."

Zhang Ruiqian stared: "Stand still!"

Zhang Qingxiang curled his lips and stood up. Zhang Ruiqian checked back and forth several times to make sure that nothing was wrong with his son, and he was visibly relieved.

He was attracted by the jingling tool box again: "Inside?"

Zhang Ruiqian can't believe it. Even a magnetic coil cage can't trap evil objects, but a thin iron box can contain them?

Zhang Qingxiang opened it to him: "Here."

Zhang Ruiqian was so frightened that he staggered back and found his son giggling. He suddenly became angry and said, "You bastard!"

In the iron box, six pieces of evil quicksand were like bream fish that had been fished ashore, jumping helplessly but vigorously.

Can't even pop out of the box.

Zhang Ruiqian was in disbelief: "This thing can easily murder eight elite detectives in the city?"

"Of course it's not going to work in its current state." Zhang Qingxiang didn't elaborate, and closed the iron box: "Go back first, and you can arrange for people to deal with the aftermath."

The father and son looked up at the helicopter five meters above the ground and jumped up at the same time.

On the landing gear of the helicopter, one person was hung on each.

The pilot spent a lot of effort to keep the helicopter stable, and he cursed in his heart: Are you trying to trick me to death? !
But he didn't dare to really say it - these two guys were too scary. They would jump more than ten meters and create a big hole in the ground. It would be nothing to them.

This father and son...how should I put it...

Monsters give birth to monsters!
Back in the city, the helicopter landed directly in a courtyard with extremely strict security.

Zhang Ruiqian glanced at the iron box: "Is it really okay?"

Zhang Qing made a motion of slitting his throat: "I guarantee it with my head, it's absolutely safe."

"Okay," Zhang Ruiqian nodded: "Follow me."

He took his son upstairs and came to the door of an office. As soon as he knocked on the door, someone quickly opened it from inside.

It's Liang Zimian.

"came back."

Zhang Ruiqian nodded and walked in with his son: "Mr. Guo, the mission is over."

Mr. Guo stood up and shook Zhang Ruiqian's hand vigorously: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Mr. Guo and Liang Zimian both noticed the iron box that was still making noise.

Liang Zimian was puzzled: "What's inside is..."

Zhang Qingxiang handed it forward and said with a grin: "That evil quicksand."

Liang Zimian was startled, and Mr. Guo's expression also changed slightly.

Zhang Ruiqian scalped his son and said, "Don't mess around!" He immediately explained to Mr. Guo: "It's been contained and it's absolutely safe."

Zhang Ruiqian lost his temper and explained the characteristics of evil quicksand to the three of them in detail.

Mr. Guo reached out and opened the iron box. Zhang Qingxiang nodded secretly. Although he was old, he was a bit brave.

"Your plan from the beginning was to capture?" Mr. Guo saw through Zhang Qingxiang's intentions.

"Yes." Zhang Qingxiang nodded honestly.

"Why?" Mr. Guo asked noncommittally.

Zhang Qingxiang: "Since Heshi sent it here and sacrificed eight colleagues and paid such a high price, I must make this thing worth the money!"

"The current state of Evil Quicksand is suitable for practical training for students."

Mr. Guo was noncommittal, and Liang Zimian was a little scared: "It's too risky."

"It's not a risk," Zhang Qingxiang corrected: "It's confidence."

Liang Zimian laughed dryly and looked at Mr. Guo.

Mr. Guo pointed to the iron box: "What suggestions do you have for the containment and use of this thing in the future?"

"Build a special prison, or a vault. In the future, we will capture more mysteries and develop different containment cages based on their different characteristics."

Zhang Qingxiang talked eloquently: "It's best to leave this matter to me."

Mr. Guo's face was calm, showing no emotion or anger: "You go out first, there will be people outside to cooperate with you and contain these things safely first."

……

During the afternoon class, the students in the training class were a little absent-minded.

The monitor is not here.

But Feng Lintong’s little gossip machine is here.

Soon everyone in the class knew what Zhang Qingxiang had done.

Dai Yuxing and several other students from Heshi were very angry at first: What do you mean? Do you look down on our joint city secret case team?

Are the people in your provincial capital awesome?
Is it your turn to intervene in the mystery we captured? When Dai Yu was able to maintain his composure, he quietly comforted several of his aggrieved companions: "Don't be impatient for a moment. Wait until he comes back in despair. We don't need to say anything. He will be embarrassed."

However, as time went by, Zhang Qingxiang never came back until the afternoon class ended, and the faces of the people in Heshi became increasingly ugly.

"Is something really happening?" The students began to murmur in their hearts.

Feng Lintong, the little gossip machine, was very clever: "Go to the class teacher."

As expected, Liang Zimian was not in school, and now it was almost certain that something had happened.

Dai Yuxing was so panicked that he didn't bother to have dinner and called his colleagues in Heshi first.

Then he locked himself in the dormitory and never came out.

Soon bad news came, and Feng Lintong quickly learned the first-hand news: "All eight colleagues from Heshi City died!"

"Fortunately, the squad leader arrived in time and contained the thing again!"

The students were in an uproar: "Can the class monitor know how to count?"

"How did he know in school that something would happen to the escort team on the highway?"

The students from the original city have long seen Zhang Qingxiang's extraordinary abilities, but for the students from other places, this is the first time Zhang Qingxiang has shown his prowess.

Originally, many people had the same opinion as Dai Yuxing and others: Zhang Qingxiang mostly relied on Zhang Ruiqian's relationship to gain the support of everyone in the original city.

Looking at it now, it seems that it is not that simple.

Tian Mingkun was puzzled: "I told you a long time ago that the monitor led us to solve several mysterious scenes without any damage. Why don't you believe it?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Peng Shuangjie also chimed in: "You are just a bunch of frogs in the well. If you can't do something yourself, don't believe that others can do it."

"This is a new era, and there will really be people who are much better than us."

"These people will be called geniuses in the future!"

Several people from Heshi never showed up again today.

They all knew the eight people who died, and they were already very sad.

Zhang Qingxiang has not been seen back, and they don't know the specific situation. If the former city's secret case team suffered any casualties due to this incident, they will feel an extra layer of guilt.

They can't even care about the embarrassment and shame now.

Feng Xiaoxian finished his dinner quickly, returned to the dormitory, took out a small notebook, and carefully summarized Zhang Qingxiang's actions.

Feng Xiaoxian saw with his own eyes those guys in Heshi and other colleges in other places were seriously shocked.

His eyes turned green with envy.

I have to seriously learn the routine of the squad leader's way of showing off.

My previous methods were a bit out of date, and the squad leader is the one who keeps pace with the times.

When I learn how to do it, I can gain a lot of admiration points like the squad leader!
Ye Yousheng has been sitting in the classroom.

When my brother leaves, let me wait patiently here.

There were many bright lights in the classroom. She folded her hands on the desk and rested her pointed chin on the back of her hands.

The uneasiness in Ye Yousheng's heart was like an irritable little beast, walking around inside her body.

"Brother Qingxiang, why haven't you come back yet?"

She picked up a pen and drew a sketch on the table.

The painting showed Zhang Qingxiang's room. As the last stroke came down, the space in front of him suddenly distorted. Ye Yousheng realized in confusion that he had walked into the painting.

Eh? wrong!

This is Zhang Qingxiang's room.

The last time she was a guest at Brother Qingxiang's house, she came to this room.

This is the sketch that opens the door to space!
She curled up on the single bed, her breath filled with Brother Qing Xiang's scent, which calmed the restless beast inside her.

She curled up into the bed, her eyelids drooped, her long, curved eyelashes trembled twice, and she felt an unbearable sleepiness.

Ye Yousheng yawned a little, arched his head on the pillow, made a nest, felt comfortable, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, but Ye Yousheng suddenly opened his eyes, jumped down and took a step out, and returned to the classroom again.

"Ye Yousheng——"

In the corridor outside the classroom, there were familiar footsteps and Zhang Qingxiang's call.

The little girl looked at the sketch on the desk and wiped it hurriedly twice. The sketch was blurred and the fluctuations in the space quickly subsided.

The passage between the classroom and Zhang Qingxiang's bedroom disappeared.

"Brother Qingxiang, I'm here."

Zhang Qingxiang came in and smiled when he saw her: "You haven't eaten yet? Are you hungry?"

"Yeah." Ye Yousheng nodded, covering his belly with both hands, and his stomach grumbled in response.

Ye Yousheng's face suddenly turned red, and Zhang Qingxiang laughed.

"Let's go eat."
