Chapter 73 Black Mamba

Before visiting Shen Chunlan, Rao Xinghai went to the department to hand in the work-study assessment score sheet.The office of the Academic Affairs Office was still busy, but in the corner where there were small tea tables and tea sets, Cao Hui was leisurely chatting with Ao Jun.

Seeing Rao Xinghai, Cao Hui was very happy, and immediately introduced Rao Xinghai to Ao Jun.

Ao Jun sized up Rao Xinghai for a moment, and recognized him as the freshman sentinel who shined on the first day of skill demonstration.Of course Rao Xinghai also remembered him: this person put Shen Chunlan on the shoulder, and the two seemed to be familiar with each other.

"Student Rao Xinghai in Shen Chunlan's class, you have to remember his name, he is very good!" Cao Hui pointed at Ao Jun again, "Ao Jun, the special commissioner of the International Special Human Management Committee, is currently working in the Crisis Office. We are looking for outstanding graduates and plan to recruit them into the International Special Management Committee."

Ao Jun looked at Rao Xinghai with a smile: "Student Rao, you have good qualifications."

Rao Xinghai had no interest in his long list of titles, so he nodded to accept his praise.

"Although you are only a freshman, if you want, I can help transfer you to the Talent Planning Bureau. The International Special Management Committee has a long-term talent training plan in the Talent Planning Bureau. Undergraduate students study domestically and graduate students study abroad. There are many practical opportunities. A lot of elites."

Cao Hui was in a hurry: "I'm going, Ao Jun, you are really not a joke. I will introduce you to outstanding students in the department, and you actually want to poach someone?"

Ao Jun smiled very formally: "Treasure your talent."

Cao Hui: "You are impersonal. That's why Shen Chunlan broke up with you."

Rao Xinghai's ears pricked up.

Ao Jun picked up the small teacup: "No. We broke up peacefully because I have to go abroad."

Cao Hui was about to speak when Rao Xinghai asked Ao Jun, "What's your name?"

Ao Jun's face twitched slightly, he repeated his name, and showed the staff sign.

Rao Xinghai wrote it down, and glanced at Cao Hui.He suspected that Cao Hui had revealed Ao Jun's identity on purpose, in order to let Rao Xinghai dispel his coveting of Shen Chunlan. "Your Mr. Shen's ex-boyfriend is so good, you're a bird"—that's probably what it meant.

But Rao Xinghai was not afraid at all.He doesn't think Ao Jun is good, and he doesn't think he's bad either.After all, he is the one who is qualified to kiss Shen Chunlan now, with this fact, he has nothing to fear.

But there are still things to ask.

"No wonder I didn't like him at first sight." Rao Xinghai said.

Shen Chunlan repeatedly asked him to eat meat.This pot of miscellaneous things is indeed mostly meat.Rao Xinghai's living expenses depended entirely on work-study programs and stipends, and Shen Chunlan knew that he usually only ate in the cafeteria and didn't eat much.He tried his best to feed Rao Xinghai.

Rao Xing listened to him talk about Ao Jun while eating at the seaside, and from time to time sneered childishly and artificially.

Shen Chunlan: "I didn't think about how to tell you, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Rao Xinghai ate the next prawn: "What else do you think about this matter? Just say it."

Shen Chunlan nodded with a smile.It's because he thinks too much.Rao Xinghai didn't have so many twists and turns in his head, and he didn't have so much looking forward and backward.The sentinel in front of him was a simple and direct person, and—he remembered what the mental adjuster wrote in the sea area test report—honest, firm, empathetic, and excellent empathy ability.

Has the idea of ​​the spiritual adjuster come true?Has Rao Xinghai gotten better?Is his negative attitude, the frustration, loss, low self-esteem, and fear that often haunt him, disappearing?

Shen Chunlan felt a joyful sense of accomplishment in his heart.At one moment he felt happy, at another moment he felt that he was too despicable: this joy was closely bound up with his heart for Rao Xinghai.

"The Talent Planning Bureau is not a good place." Rao Xinghai frowned and said, "The curriculum is unreasonable, and the name is not good."

Shen Chunlan smiled, but didn't respond.He is inquiring about whether the Talent Planning Bureau needs a teacher like himself, but at this stage, he does not plan to disclose it to Rao Xinghai.

The incident appears to be over.Shen Chunlan thought to himself, Rao Xinghai has matured a lot.

"How did you meet him?" Rao Xinghai suddenly asked again, "I think he is very annoying."

Shen Chunlan: "..."

Rao Xinghai: "What shortcomings does he have?"

Shen Chunlan retracted the foreword.

Rao Xinghai: "I'm not jealous. I'll just ask."

Shen Chunlan: "Yes, yes."

Rao Xinghai: "Can't you say it?"

Shen Chunlan: "Let's not talk about him anymore. How is your cooperation with Gongshang in tomorrow's game?"

Rao Xinghai had no choice but to change the subject reluctantly.

In the living room, the two snakes are still trying their best to get the attention of the big ass rat.The black mamba has developed a new way to play with the hazelnut: it puts the hazelnut on top of its head and twists the snake for the guinea pig to dance to.The guinea pig sat on a big comfortable chair made of golden pythons, gnawed the strawberries on the left and the grapes on the right with its small teeth, just like a fatuous emperor.

After sending Rao Xinghai away that night, Shen Chunlan received a call from Ao Jun.

But he didn't come for Shen Chunlan.

"What's the background of Rao Xinghai in your class?" Ao Jun asked, "Native place, family situation, academic performance, interpersonal relationship, I want to know all about it."

Shen Chunlan probably guessed that he cherished Rao Xinghai's talents: "Isn't your goal this time to find fresh graduates?"

"Look for them all." Ao Jun laughed, "Talents are rare. With my recommendation, he will definitely be able to enter the Talent Planning Bureau."

Shen Chunlan: "He doesn't like the Talent Planning Bureau."

Ao Jun: "What's so good about New Hope Academy, no one is willing to part with it."

Shen Chunlan smiled.He believed that with Ao Jun's position and ability, it would be easy to find Rao Xinghai's background.Ao Jun just took this opportunity to chat with himself.

"Rao Xinghai's background is very simple." He said, "He is an orphan, originally from Guizhou. Other than that, there is no more information."

Ao Jun was taken aback: "Orphan? No information about his parents?"

Shen Chunlan: "No."

Rao Xinghai's mother died unexpectedly after leaving him at the gate of the orphanage. This woman did not leave any information for verification.

This aroused Ao Jun's stronger interest. "I couldn't find it before, and ordinary police stations couldn't find it, but that doesn't mean I couldn't find it." He laughed. "Even if it's an unnamed corpse, as long as the blood sample is preserved, I can dig it out."

Shen Chunlan had to remind: "It's been 20 years."

"The sample retention period is 30 years." After saying this, Ao Jun hung up the phone.Holding the phone, Shen Chunlan was a little shaken: Ao Jun's position is very important, and Ao Jun doesn't talk big.He said that if he could find it, he would definitely find it.

But would Rao Xinghai be interested in his mother and father?Thinking of how Rao Xinghai talked about the past during the previous training, Shen Chunlan was a little sad.

If uncovering the truth of the past would bring new harm to Rao Xinghai, he would rather Rao Xinghai never know.

In areas far away from the city, the night is divided into areas with blurred edges by lights and darkness.The semi-zombies dressed in black stood on the roof in twos and threes, moving lightly. In the night, Wangdu District was still the same as before, half noisy and half silent.

Black soldier inspectors skim across the roof.Someone quietly closed the half-open window.

"Adam hasn't come back yet?" Nie Cai bit a cigarette that was almost burnt out, "What's the content of today's game?"

Someone chuckled: "Half-zombies and underground people."

In the bright light, the disgust on Nie Cai's face was completely undisguised.

"He's not good, Mr. Nie." The man who just laughed said in a shrill voice, "It's not what you expected."

Nie Cai put out the cigarette butt on the table, and the blue smoke bounced off.

This is a small building that is as old as all the surrounding buildings. It is crowded and crowded, and it has carved out its own place from the cramped space.

There are a lot of debris in the room, and the pale light of the energy-saving lamps illuminates a large space in the center of the living room.A large round rug with a wine red background was laid on the blackened wooden floor. The rug was embroidered with patterns of flowers and birds, with complicated lines and bundles of tied golden tassels on the edges.It lay flat on the ground like this, compared with all the simple furniture in the room, it was too abrupt and too uncoordinated.

In the center of the rug stood a chair, black, with a leather-covered back and arms.

Nie Cai went to the chair and patted it. At this time, a wisp of mist penetrated through the window and fell on the shoulder of someone sitting at the table drinking, turning into a magpie.

"He is back."

After a while, the door was opened with a key. Adam slipped in.

When he opened the door, he raised his hand to greet the people in the room, and when he saw the chair on the carpet, he immediately stiffened.

Someone came and closed the door behind him. "Disobedient, huh?" The deep voice was like a reminder.

"Adam." Nie Cai stood behind the chair, patted the back of the chair, and said softly, "Come here."

Adam didn't move.

"Teacher, what did I do wrong?" His voice trembled, "You said...you won't punish me."

"Come here, sit down." Nie Cai patted the back of the chair again, "I want to have a good talk with you."

The roar of the giant beast echoed in the dark room, Adam took a few deep breaths before mustering up the courage to approach.

He was sitting on a chair, and Nie Cai pressed his shoulders and made him lean back against the back of the chair.

Rough fingers caught Adam's mask and pulled it off.The young man's back was trembling: Nie Cai's fingers ran across the back of his neck like a sharp knife.

"Let's answer your question first." Nie Cai's voice sounded above his head, "Think about it yourself, what did you do wrong?"

Adam's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he saw someone walking around the carpet with a chuckle in the gray shadow outside the carpet.Gray-white mist flooded his insteps, and in the mist were icy tiny fingers touching the skin.

"I don't know…" Adam replied hoarsely.

Nie Cai grabbed his neck and forced him to look up.

"Who is the palace merchant?"

Adam struggled to breathe and opened his eyes wide.

"You are not the only one who sneaked into New Hope." Nie Cai lowered his head and looked deeply into Adam's eyes, "You saw the skill display of this guide, right?"

"She... she's too young," Adam replied, aware that his voice was shaking.The feeling of being touched on his calf grew stronger, and the uncomfortable feeling of the sea creature's cold slime on his skin was nauseating.

"Aren't we looking for a young female guide?" Nie Cai frowned, looked at Adam pityingly, and gently stroked his ear with his fingers, "So you prefer to choose older ones?"

His touch made Adam shudder.But he is still stubborn: "Teacher... she... no..."

"And her spiritual body can be copied, the number is amazing, and it happens to be the person we—and you, both need." Nie Cai said coldly, "Adam, I don't like people lying to me, especially I don't like you lying to me .You know I love you...Adam, boy, you know that, don't you?"

Adam can only nod.

"Then why are you always disobedient?"

Adam's face turned blue: "I'm sorry... Teacher, I was wrong, I will change..."

Nie Cai left.Two hot paws rested on Adam's shoulders, and the breath of the beast came and went on the back of his neck.

Adam closed his eyes tightly.It's completely instinctive—when he senses that his life is threatened, or when he's extremely frightened, his spirit will be uncontrollably released, surround him, and protect him loyally.

This is the moment they've been waiting for.

Then, the real punishment begins.

Early in the morning on April 4, Rao Xinghai got out of bed because of being too nervous.He was in a daze on the balcony for a moment, the black mamba curled up in his hand, staring at him with small eyes.

The familiar tension also wrapped around his heart like a snake.

He put away the little snake, washed his face and brushed his teeth lightly.The other three people in the dormitory also got up, rubbing their eyes and looking at him.

"Come on." Qu Wu said, "I won't be working today, I'm going to watch your game."

Yang proudly yawned and climbed off the bed. "You must win one round." He said, "Wang Wensi bet that you will win at least one round at the beginning. If you lose, he will fight you desperately."

Rao Xinghai: "...you also bought it?"

Yang proudly said, "Qu Wu also bought it."

Zhou Shifei was dumbfounded: "What?! You are actually in school..."

Yang Deyi: "Squad leader, I bought 20 yuan for you too. The three of us are grasshoppers on the same rope now, so don't gossip about our big event of getting rich."

Zhou Shifei, who was forced to participate in gambling, suddenly turned pale.

Rao Xinghai went out to have breakfast with them, and when the palace merchants arrived, they entered the arena to draw lots.

Wan Li also participated in the double team match. His partner was a sophomore senior sister. The match between the two was on the 17th.Wanli Le Diandian, who had no game today, came to watch the excitement, and Wang Wensi, who was in the same dormitory, followed him into the waiting area, trying to find out who Gong Shang and Rao Xinghai had drawn.

At [-]:[-], Gong Shang and Rao Xinghai came out of the lottery room, both of them looked unhappy.

Wang Wensi: "What about Karma? Is the sky falling?"

Gong Shang showed him the lottery note, on which only the serial number of the participating teams was written.

"You are No. 2... your opponent is No. 6." Wang Wensi looked over and over, "Can you win? If you can, let's add 20 yuan... No, who is No. 6?"

Palace merchant: "Qiao Fang wine."

Wang Wensi: "..."

The author has something to say: Gong Shang: No. 6 is Qiao Fang wine.

Wang Wensi: ...

Yang Deyi, Qu Wu, Long You, and Wan Li who have placed heavy bets: It's over! ! !

Zhou Shifei's face was ashen.

Yang Yunye, Luo Yan: I buy palace merchants.

Tang Ying: I bet on the young lady.

Department Head: Mr. Shen, what do you think about the gambling game of your classmates?

Shen Chunlan: This is my new review, please accept it.
