On the Seven Towers

Xiao Chen held a notebook, a T-shirt on top, and a pair of quick-drying pants on the bottom, and walked slowly and unhurriedly on the second floor of the teaching building. The sun shines in through the windows, and a gentle breeze blows through the porch, giving people a sense of early autumn comfort. In the quiet and pleasant campus, everything seems to be no different from a few days ago. However, this is just an illusion. There are no bells ringing in class, no playful classmates, and no old professors lecturing endlessly. The entire corridor is quiet and makes people think wildly.

Xiao Chen thought about the rescue and excavation in the past few days. At first, depression and hope coexisted. However, depression gradually overcame hope. As time went by, the survivors' hope of survival gradually dropped to zero. Xiao Chen's mind flashed through the tragic scenes of various victims, the screams and wails of various injured people, and the scenes of countless rescuers crying silently.

Xiao Chen still remembered the red dress. He had seen that beautiful and energetic figure on his way to the print shop that morning. He walked behind the unknown girl, admiring the beauty of summer. And when he saw her again, it was under the deep rubble. Both her beautiful figure and the red dress were in pieces. A strong resentment and resentment deeply impacted his heart and was difficult to forget.

He recalled the conversation that Principal Guo had with him. At that time, he was trying to save someone by talking about a magician, but he didn't expect that it would turn out to be a self-defeating trap. For the safety of the school and the need to deter the locals, he had to overcome his worries and fears and continue to play this role.

Xiao Chen thought about those magic items and his sudden powers again. It was a feeling of anticipation, fear, worry, excitement and stalemate. Having been indoctrinated with scientific concepts for half his life, he has a fear of things that science cannot explain. This fear is like a time bomb. He doesn't know whether it will explode, but it is buried in his heart. However, he also has this expectation. One day, will I really control this power and realize the superman dream that every boy has in his heart?

There were too many things he encountered in the past few days. Various pictures appeared in his mind one after another, the strange encounters in the underground palace, the magician's mysterious notes, the shrewd bald man Ciro, the critical moment when he exchanged food...

Xiao Chen felt more and more confused, and his pace became more and more urgent.

But then he slowed down again, and at some point a figure that made him feel at ease appeared in his mind: Luo Ling.

When Xiao Chen walked into the classroom at the end of the corridor, he found the door open. He looked inside and was surprised to find that Luo Ling had arrived first. She changed from her previous steady office style, wearing a purple printed suspender skirt with a silk cardigan on top, her hair tied into a loose ponytail, holding her chin in one hand, and sitting in the first row by the window. Sitting on his seat, he was looking at the treetops outside the window.

Xiao Chen looked at her outside the door, his eyes passing over her delicate collarbone and the slightly exposed ravine on her chest, her eyebrows that looked a little sleepy due to fatigue, her long black hair and her hair gently floating in the breeze. The hair finally stayed on the warm and white hand and the red lips on the hand, and then I was shocked to realize that she was such a feminine woman.

He gently scratched his nose with his finger, as if criticizing himself for why he always regarded her as a strong comrade-in-arms and a reliable comrade.

However, this atmosphere and thought only lasted for a moment. When Luo Ling heard the sound and turned around, put down her arms, folded them on the desk, and looked at him dignifiedly, everything changed. She smiled slightly, but Xiao Chen didn't feel like a spring breeze. The little nostalgia he had before disappeared. The only thing he felt was a kind of... pressure?

"You have already listened to the briefing, and Principal Guo also talked to you alone. I heard him say that you are still a little reluctant to come over. Why are you trying to be a big deal?" Luo Ling tilted her head slightly, looking a little naughty. feeling.

"Miss Luo Mingjian, I was forced to go to Liangshan at that time." Xiao Chen pretended to hold a fist and sat down on the long table in front of Luo Ling, "I really didn't want to do this every day."

Luo Ling couldn't help but laugh. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he really looked like a monkey begging for money. Xiao Chen sighed and said, "Don't laugh at me. We all know that those farmers are ignorant. Although Silla has seen some of the market, she must have never dealt with a magician. To deceive these people, I use A lighter is enough, I'm sure they will treat me as a master. But we have to go out eventually, how can we deceive those really knowledgeable nobles or real magicians?"

"If a magician really comes here and doesn't like me, he wants to show off with me." Xiao Chen jumped off the table, made a big circle with his hands, and then pushed forward, "Just threw a big If the fireball comes over, won’t I be honored?”

"You have a good name and live in seclusion, why would someone come to trouble you?" Luo Ling looked at him with a smile and analyzed: "Look, so many people here have never seen a magician, even the leader Scarface was scared away by that fire sword. You know that magicians are rare animals. Your fire sword, your flying castle, and those rifles have given so many people the impression of a powerful magician. If they continue to add fuel to the fire and spread lies, it will only become more and more exaggerated. Whether they are nobles or real magicians, why do they have trouble with you who look so powerful? "

"That's hard to say. Maybe it's like in some story. One day, you, Miss Luo, were kidnapped by an evil magician, and the righteous Xiao Chen had to come forward to save you. Then the secret was exposed."

"If that's the case, will you save me?" Luo Ling suddenly stared at him unblinkingly with her big eyes.

"Of course..." Xiao Chen felt that he was an idiot and had set a trap for himself.

"I'm very serious!" Luo Ling came closer.

"certainly……"

"You don't just say things casually." She leaned closer.

"When...that...you get too close and glare at me, you'll become cross-eyed..." Xiao Chen moved back uncomfortably, staggered and jumped off the table.

"Ha, okay, okay, don't be nervous. You passed the first test two days ago." Luo Ling withdrew her aggressive gaze and resumed her chin-resting posture with one hand.

"Uh... Okay." Xiao Chen felt that he couldn't keep up with this woman's thinking at all.

"This is a very wonderful world, and there are many things that we cannot understand." Luo Ling said, looking at the sky outside the window, "Even the sun looks bigger than the original world, which reminds us that we cannot use the old way of looking at problems. How do you know that you can't be a real magician? If you can activate that sword, it means that a miracle has happened to you. Maybe it's caused by the white light, but I think it's a new door. It’s already open. What we need to do is go in more bravely.”

"Do you feel the same way?" Xiao Chen asked excitedly. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell Luo Ling the truth, "I seem to get a kind of power from the white light... When I want to see clearly, my eyes I can see it more clearly. When I wanted to carry you to the hospital, I became stronger. You were there at that time. What happened to your body? "

Luo Ling jumped up when she heard this.

"You... increased your eyesight and strength? Then how can I..." Luo Ling's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly folded her hands in front of her chest, fearing that Xiao Chen would notice that her figure suddenly became better.

"You have also changed? I suspect that the white light changes the body according to our thoughts. Where have you changed?"

Luo Ling glared at Xiao Chen and said, "Stop talking about this... these things! Do you want me to say more? Have you, a grown man, thought clearly?"

"Sigh. Now that we've gone to Liangshan, it's no good if we don't join the gang."

"Then from today on, you will be a member of my foreign affairs team! When all our people arrive, you can pick two of them to be yours." Luo Ling waved her hand, quite a bit of a leader.

Just when Xiao Chen was secretly trying to figure out what Luo Ling had been transformed by the white light. Several more footsteps came from the door, and two men and two women came in one after another.

Luo Ling asked them to sit down and walked to the podium.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, our foreign affairs team is officially open. I am your team leader Luo Ling, and next to me is the deputy team leader Xiao Chen, who is also the male lead of our team and specializes in acting." "Master Magician", he will inevitably appear everywhere in the future."

Others also made their own introductions. One of them was Zhang Hong, the translator in the grain trading team. Xiao Chen didn't like him very much because Li Jia was deeply impressed by his cowardly and cowardly behavior on several occasions. When he told the story to Xiao Chen Heard it.

However, Zhang Hong did not feel that he was too humiliated. After returning to school, he felt proud and proud. Everyone regarded the people who participated in the grain trading team as heroes, so Zhang Hong walked with his head held high these days. , he often boasted about how he remained calm in front of the hail of bullets, and finally successfully transported the food back, earning a lot of applause from boys and screams from girls. When he was assigned to the Foreign Affairs Department this time, he thought he could at least be the deputy team leader. Unexpectedly, he was overtaken by a junior teacher and a graduate student.

Another sophomore boy named Ding Lunquan is tall and strong. He is a bit bigger than Xiao Chen in both length and width. This guy said that he is from the school football team because he participated in a football training camp in Spain during high school. So I speak Spanish well. One of the two women is named Liu Wan, who is in her thirties and is a teacher majoring in Spanish. The other is named Du Mei, a junior student majoring in Spanish. The two have a teacher-student relationship for a long time.

"Teacher Luo, so our foreign affairs team is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Dealing with those natives? You, the foreign minister, are also a member of the Central Standing Committee? That's awesome! And I am a diplomat now ? Haha, this has been my dream since childhood." The girl named Du Mei asked excitedly after hearing the introduction.

"This disaster brought 721 of us into this world. All work needs to be led by someone. The Disaster Relief Committee is just a transitional organization. Except for Principal Guo, the other twelve people are the leaders of various affairs groups. Now this model It is also to facilitate collaboration and communication. We are not big bosses from the central government." Luo Ling smiled and began to answer a series of questions from this impatient girl. "Our foreign affairs team currently has only six people. It is the smallest team, but it also has the greatest responsibility. "You are more important than an ordinary diplomat, because sometimes war or peace may depend on what we say."

The girl's face turned red, but she heard a sneer. Zhang Hong crossed his legs and said disdainfully: "Why are you so arrogant? The committee obviously doesn't pay much attention to us. Otherwise, you two young men can be the masters." ?”
