"No?!"

Zhuo Fu's voice raised an octave, and he looked at Mu Heng in disbelief.

"How is that possible? Didn't you give your number?"

Mu Heng glanced at Zhuo Fu coldly.

He was silent for a few seconds, but still reluctantly replied, "Yes."

When Zhuo Fu suddenly realized something: "Tell me, how did you stay?"

"Wen Yao was taken to the hospital and asked the front desk to help. Convey." Mu Heng said.

Zhuo Fu: "..."

He slowly took a deep breath and raised his hand to support his forehead.

Mu Heng frowned: "What's wrong?"

"Did you let Wen Yao keep her name?"

This time, Mu Heng was silent for a longer time: "No."

"On a blank piece of paper there is nothing but a phone number. It doesn't say who left it, nor does it say that it was called by someone else!"

Zhuo Fu pressed his aching forehead and said sadly,

"It would be nice not to treat this as a new type of fraud."

Mu Heng: "..."

"Now people probably forgot that note long ago, so you can only contact me now."

After speaking, Zhuo Fu pulled out a piece of paper, and shhhhhhhh A series of numbers were written on it: "Well, this is the internal line of the hospital. After calling it, you can transfer it to Shi'an's ward."

Mu Heng squeezed the note and frowned: "The internal line? Then you How do you know?"

Zhuo Fu touched the back of his head, showing a frivolous smirk:

"Isn't that, I used to date the nurse there for a few weeks."

Mu Heng: "..."

Zhuo Fu coughed and suddenly became serious:

"You know, according to our current information, Shi An may be the only human who has had close contact with the fantasy species, and he may be able to help us study the habits of dragons. Even the whereabouts of the tracking, and now things like the existence of the fantasy species must be kept strictly confidential, so in this case, we cannot ask for his cooperation in the name of the Administration, but only in private name

. It should be no problem!"

Zhuo Fu regained his dignified appearance just now, and winked at Mu Heng: "Anyway, aren't you still someone's life-saving benefactor, as the saying goes, life-saving grace can't be repaid, you should use— —"

Mu Heng raised his eyes expressionlessly.

Beneath the silver-white eyelashes, his cold gaze was like a sharpened blade, piercing towards Zhuo Fu with a trace of murderous aura that wasn't fake.

Zhuo Fu is very skilled and close when he sees it.

He coughed dryly, and made an excuse to turn around and slip away: "Well, I still have things to do in my research lab, so I'll go first."

"—Don't forget to get in touch!"

Zhuo Fu's voice crossed slowly The closed door came from a distance.

The office door closed again.

Without Zhuo Fu's noise, the office became extraordinarily quiet.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the note that was not far away, and there was a rare hesitation between his brows.

He frowned slightly, and habitually tapped the table with his fingertips.

Even though it has been repeatedly proved that Shi An himself is fine, but... for some

reason, every time he thinks of this person, Mu Heng still has an indescribable doubt and irritability.

In other words, a vague sense of loss of control.

very troublesome.

And Mu Heng didn't like trouble.

Swish - Swish -

after a few seconds of silence.

Shasha -

The Demon Worm was awakened again by Shi An's turning over, and finally couldn't bear it any longer:

"I beg you, Ancestor, why are you still not sleeping?"

Shi An stopped.

He whispered aggrievedly, "I can't sleep."

This was the first time in his life that he felt insomnia.

Although his injury was not deep, the wound area was not small, and now he was in the critical recovery period. The wound was strangely itchy. It was fine during the day, but became unbearable at night.

Under the protection of scales, Shi An had never been hurt before, let alone suffered such a crime.

Shi An couldn't help but want to reach out and scratch, but he was too afraid of the pain.

The demon worm sighed wearily, planted on Shi'an's pillow, with six legs facing the sky, and let himself go.

If it goes on like this, it feels that it will grow dark circles under its eyes.

The devil turned his head and looked at Lin Yanming on the next bed.

Although Shi An tossed and made noises every day, the other party didn't seem to hear it, and he slept deadly every day, like a dead pig.

The devil never imagined that one day he would be so envious of a human being.

Shi An said sadly: "I also really want to sleep." The

worm: "..."

You can say, so do I.

Shi An lay on the bed, buried her face in the soft pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "I miss my old bed so much."

"The bottom layer is gold, at least 500 tons, which can cover the entire cave."

"Above, there are pearls, amber, diamonds, all kinds of handicrafts of various races, piled together to sparkle. , can let me bury myself deeply, and then roll..."

"And then there is a layer of silver gems..."

"

Upwards is—" The demon worm had a look of hopelessness.

I beg you, stop reading.

Finally, as if it had finally made up its mind, it took a deep breath and said, "Okay!" The

worm turned over and said solemnly, "I was going to tell you after you recovered, but now It seems that it's impossible not to tell you."

After all, if I don't tell me, I'll be bored to death.

The magic worm took a deep breath and said, "Two days ago, when you were playing games, I saw a bird parked on the window sill outside. I thought it was just an ordinary bird, but the smell was wrong, so I climbed Look carefully in the past."

Shi An moved his head and looked at the magic insect through the gap in the pillow.

"Then I found out that they are completely black. Although they look like crows, they are three times the size of ordinary crows. Their eyes are green, and the soles of their feet have strong barbs that can penetrate into rocks."

Shi An slightly widened his eyes: "You It means..." The

devil pretended to nod deeply: "Yes, the gray crow was not eliminated by the group of people in the management bureau. This group of ghosts and ghosts may not see the momentum, so they moved their nests away in advance. Now, and the most important thing is that they are not strong individually, so it is estimated that they have not been detected—"

Before it could finish speaking, Shi An jumped up.

A pair of dark eyes sparkled in the dim room: "Go!"

The demon worm was caught off guard, and was overturned by Shi An's sudden action, dropped under the bed, and rolled a few times on the ground.

It turned its back to the sky and began to think about worms.

So does this trend look familiar?

I always felt that I had been overturned like this before

. When An, bent down from the bed, and looked at the ground, "Are you alright?

" Face: "It can't be better, it's not too late, let's go quickly."

After you have a new bed, you can finally sleep well!

begging!

Shi An put the magic worm in his pocket, and sneaked out of the hospital in the dead of night.

The Able Academy has a large area. In addition to the areas where students and teachers live and study, there are more unexplored areas. The huge area is lush with lush forests, and there are cliffs near the deep lake, which is almost like a campus. scenery.

Shi An's foot hurts when she walks.

He looked at the dim sky not far away, and asked wearily, "How long is it?"

"It's getting to be soon!" The

devil answered cheerfully, "Judging by the magic power I left on that grey crow. , just go over the mountain in front of you."

Shi An: "I really want to fly." The

worm: "..."

It recalled the last time it was carried by Shi An to "fly", and couldn't help but shivered subconsciously. .

I don't want to, thanks.

"Don't worry, it's really soon," the magic worm comforted: "Don't you want to find the grey crow's nest and use the gold and silver treasures they collected to make a new bed?

" reluctantly to answer.

He sighed, regained his energy, and walked in the direction indicated by the magic insect.

Before he could turn over the mountain in front of him, he felt a sudden wave of magic power coming from the front.

Not created by monsters, but human?

Shi An blinked a little suspiciously.

He blocked his figure with the huge rock in front of him, then stood on tiptoe slightly and looked in the direction of the wave.

In the air, a group of black gray crows circled, making a piercing scream, and they rushed towards the bottom of the valley.

Across the dense gray crows, three humans can barely be seen standing at the bottom of the valley, looking at the students of the Academy of the Abilities. to the limit.

Shi An raised his head and searched around.

I saw a huge old tree standing on the high ground not far away, and among the dense branches and leaves on the tree, there was a gray crow's nest.

Although it was far apart, Shi An could still clearly see the brilliance of the nest reflected in the rising sun.

"!"

Shi An immediately became excited, as if the whole person was full of power again.

"Sir, what are you going to do?" The worm asked in a low voice.

Shi An: "Of course, rush up!" The

demon worm tried to reason with him: "Wait, there are other humans below and the gray crows are in an attacking state. Your old injury is not healed yet—"

Shi An : "Burn them to death! The treasure is mine!"

Demon insect: "..."

Please don't say such terrifying words with such a cute face, thank you.

A dragon with a head full of treasures is hard to listen to the advice of others.

The worm felt like he had used up all his life's words:

"It's no good for you to rush up now, although Mu Heng is no longer in the school, but the risk has not been completely eliminated-"

Shi An stood there and focused on it. Staring at the gray crow's nest not far away.

The demon worm said bitterly: "If you want me to say, you'd better not reveal your identity. If you want me to see, you might as well take advantage of them to attract the attention of the gray crows, take the opportunity to sneak into their lair, take the treasure and leave."

Shi An turned to look at it with a thoughtful look on his face.

"I think what you said is quite right." The

demon worm was stunned.

It really didn't expect that Shi An could really listen to it.

Is this what it feels like to be recognized?

An indescribable sense of achievement spread, making the worm feel a little dazed.

"But..." Shi An continued.

Demon insect: "?"

Shi An pointed to the back of the insect with an innocent face: "I think it may be a little late."

Demon insect: "..."

It twisted slowly and little by little. He turned his head and looked behind him.

I saw that on the rock not far behind, countless gray crows had stopped densely. They were like carpets, covering the rock wall with black pressure, and a pair of green eyes looked over, silently. , it made my heart tremble.

Devil: I am grass.

Grey crows are very ancient creatures, which existed on the mainland before Shi An fell asleep.

Their greatest characteristic is that they do not know fear.

In the face of the enemy who may threaten their lair, no matter who dares to launch an attack brazenly, it is simply a matter of treasure.

Shi An appreciates this feature very much.

But this did not prevent him from bullying the weak and robbing the grey crow's nest in his heyday.

He smiled brightly at the gray crows: "Hey!"

Under the intensive attack of the gray crows, Wang Li struggled to survive, but he could feel that his magic power was about to bottom out, and his other companions were obviously The same is true.

"Have you contacted support?! With the flapping of wings and a sharp neigh, Wang Li shouted at the top of his voice.

"No! ! The companion also shouted: "This group of monsters is too shrewd!" The first thing they attack is our communicator!

After hearing his companion's answer, Wang Li's heart sank.

He really didn't expect that he would encounter such a critical situation after just taking on a high-level mission in the academy.

He had never seen the monster in front of him at all, and if he contacted the new student about what happened recently, he could also guess that he had encountered the unexpected fish that slipped through the net.

Now, they have no backup and cannot break through.

The road ahead was so dark and dull, Wang Li couldn't help but despair.

Is it...

is that so?

Suddenly, Wang Li heard a piercing whistle not far away, and the commotion began to spread among the gray crows overhead.

The pressure on their heads was instantly relieved.

There seemed to be something not far away that distracted the group of grey crows.

Wang Li suddenly cheered up.

He took a deep breath and said excitedly to his other companions: "Go, take this opportunity, let's break through—"

The rest of the words were stuck in the throat, unable to make half a note.

Wang Li's eyes widened in disbelief, looking up at the shocking scene in front of him.

The roaring flames jumped in mid-air, the scorching temperature seemed to ignite the air, and the dark gray crows screamed, but they could not escape this terrifying sea of ​​fire.

The morning sun in the distance rose from below the horizon, and was eclipsed by the firelight in the sky.

The lit crows fell, and the scarlet ashes fluttered around, like a stream of light and fire.

As if a god descended.

Shi Rui already knew about the news of Shi Ansheng's return.

He really didn't expect that under such extreme circumstances, Shi An could still escape the catastrophe, and was even rescued by the legendary Mu Heng himself!

Shi Rui couldn't believe this luck, and it made him even more indignant.

Shi Rui didn't think his hands and feet would be seen through by the other party.

He acted carefully, and never did it himself.

But there was one thing that made him very uneasy.

Since he was rescued, the useless Duan Hua started shouting that it was so hot and painful. After being sent to the intensive care unit, it became even more severe and started to call out Shi An's name - this idiot, doesn't he know what he's doing? Once found, are they going to be arrested?

After tossing and turning for several days, Shi Rui finally couldn't take it anymore.

He decided to go to the hospital and show his brotherhood with Shi An by the way.

In any case, superficial work is to do a full set.

So, early the next morning, Shi Rui walked towards the medical office with the expensive condolences.

He first came to Duan Hua's ward.

Unexpectedly, the other party seems to have completely returned to normal, but the whole person has lost weight, his eyes have become dodgy, and he looks extremely haggard.

"How have you been lately?" Shi Rui sat on the head of the bed and asked with great concern.

Duan Hua's face was pale, and he replied in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay."

After a few simple greetings, Shi Rui asked casually, "By the way, I heard before that when you were not very clear, you always Calling someone else's name? What's the matter?"

"Well, that's just a misunderstanding." Duan Hua smiled reluctantly, "I was frightened, that's why I talked nonsense."

Shi Rui was very satisfied with his answer.

This is a smart answer, otherwise, it would be bad if Shi An or others found clues and went to investigate.

After a few good-looking greetings, Shi Rui put one of the condolences on the bedside and left Duan Hua's ward.

Looking at Shi Rui's back, Duan Hua's expression turned gloomy.

He now fully understands what happened before.

The reason why he was so fascinated by ghosts that he wanted to frame Shi An was entirely provoked by this poisonous snake.

Even the medicine was stolen from the other party's backpack in the dark when he heard Shi Rui "inadvertently" saying that he had the means to attract monsters.

Now he has offended the monster Shi An, and even his life has been pinched in the opponent's hands...

And the last mastermind behind this is Shi Rui!

Duan Hua stared fiercely at the closed door and spat.

fuck you wait.

I can't deal with Shi'an, and I can't deal with you?

After leaving Duan Hua's ward, Shi Rui walked towards Shi An's ward.

He opened the door, but unexpectedly did not see Shi An, only Lin Yanming sat alone on the bed reading a book.

Shi Rui was a little surprised: "Where's Shi An?"

Lin Yanming raised his head indifferently: "I don't know."

Although he didn't know Shi Rui, he didn't ask Shi An why, but he didn't know anything about this person. Naturally disliked.

"Then when will he come back?"

Lin Yanming: "I don't know."

Shi Rui smiled at the other party, as if he didn't feel any embarrassment: "Well, I'll wait for him here."

Lin Yanming: "Oh.

He turned the page: "You can do it yourself." Shi

Rui sat beside Shi An's bed and waited idly, but as time passed by, the other party still showed no sign of coming back.

Lin Yanming also went out for breakfast, and Shi Rui couldn't find out any news from the chat with the other party.

He finally couldn't sit still, and stood up to leave.

Just then, the ward's phone rang.

Shi Rui hesitated for a while, but reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello?" The

other side was silent for a while.

Immediately afterwards, a low voice sounded:

"Is Shi'an there?"

The voice on the other side was very nice, with a coldness like broken ice, and the ears of the magnetic person numb.

Shi Rui: "He's gone. I'm his younger brother, Shi Rui, do you have anything to convey?"

"Let him call me back, he has my number."

"You are..."

"Mu Heng."

After speaking, the other side simply hung up neatly.

Shi Rui squeezed the landline in the ward tightly, his fingertips turned blue and white due to the force, he slowly turned his head, and saw his sinister, twisted face reflected in the mirror not far away.

time, security.

He uttered every word, almost gnashing his teeth in a low voice.
