NOVPUBChapter 377 -298: True銉籉ive Stars (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, recommendations)_2
As for the helmet that could bring a living being鈥檚 thought process to a standstill, headquarters had also been independently researching it and had reached the condition to produce a semi-finished product. It鈥檚 just that at the time, Zhang Xiaomo was not aware of the development of the helmet.
Now, this helmet from the Great Capital Exorcist organization of the USA had some key technologies that Great Capital didn鈥檛 have control over. It was just in time to provide help in an emergency, with a value greater than that black metallic sphere.
In order to reward Zhang Xiaomo, Zhang Di, and Yan Junze, Huo Zhisen gave Zhang Xiaomo and Zhang Di a sum of bonus money, and for Yan Junze, it was an Exorcist-exclusive travel permit. With this travel permit, one could substitute it for an identity card, and it could even grant access to certain areas restricted to regular personnel.
According to Zhang Xiaomo, such a permit is only available to official Exorcists, and as an external member like him, he never received one.
It was clear that Huo Zhisen never treated him as an external member,
In the week before the holiday break, Yan Junze鈥檚 injured body had long recovered, and his Different Dimension Energy has also restored to over 8,000 points. That day after class, before heading back to the dorm, he received a call from Zhang Xiaomo.
...
As soon as Yan Junze answered, Zhang Xiaomo said on the other end of the line, 鈥淪omeone is coming to see you, guess who it is.鈥
鈥淯h, Guo Youliang,鈥 Yan Junze said.
Zhang Xiaomo pouted, 鈥淐an鈥檛 you pretend to be clueless and let me be happy for a while?鈥
鈥淎lright, ask me again,鈥 Yan Junze nodded.
鈥淕uess who鈥檚 coming to see you?鈥 Zhang Xiaomo asked with a smirk, unable to contain her laughter.
鈥淲ow, who鈥檚 coming to see me? Who is it? I鈥檓 so excited, so curious! Who could it be, tell me quickly鈥︹€ Yan Junze 鈥渆xcitedly鈥 said, 鈥淗mm, let me guess, it鈥檚 your aunt Flo.鈥
鈥淧fft, hahaha鈥︹€ Zhang Xiaomo was already laughing so hard on the other end of the phone that she couldn鈥檛 straighten up.
潣梆潣凁潟橉潡?co
It took a long time before she could speak again, and she burst into laughter as soon as she did, 鈥淵an Junze, if I die one day, it鈥檒l be because of laughter, and you鈥檒l be fully responsible.鈥
鈥淪ure, I can take responsibility for the rest of your life,鈥 Yan Junze said with a smile and a nod.
There was sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and Zhang Xiaomo鈥檚 breathing could be heard, but neither of them spoke.
After a moment, Zhang Xiaomo broke the silence and spoke softly, her voice tender to the extreme, 鈥淲hy suddenly鈥 I really feel like hitting you.鈥
Yan Junze did not speak and just chuckled.
Zhang Xiaomo said seriously, 鈥淚diot, originally only Uncle Guo was coming over to see you later, but now I鈥檝e decided to join him. Don鈥檛 go roaming too far. We鈥檒l arrive in about forty minutes.鈥
鈥淎lright, I鈥檒l go to the restaurant outside the school and book a table full of delicacies now. We can have dinner together when you arrive,鈥 Yan Junze nodded.
After hanging up the phone and putting his books away in the dorm, he encountered Professor Di Zhiwen on the way to the school gate.
Professor Di had been discussing and researching topics such as timelines and parallel universes with Yan Junze for a while and was very pleased with him, one could say he offered him extra care.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Di Zhiwen said, 鈥淚 heard you were sick a few days ago, and your health was poor. Are you feeling better now?鈥
鈥淭hank you, Professor, for your concern. I鈥檝e completely recovered,鈥 Yan Junze replied with a smile.
鈥淗mm, these past few days I鈥檝e been researching the blooming effect of string theory,鈥 Di Zhiwen, never straying from his profession, immediately began talking about his work, 鈥淚n theorizing, I鈥檝e incidentally found that the timeline, during its extension, can enter an unstable state, similar to a blooming effect.鈥
鈥淥h, what kind of instability?鈥 Yan Junze asked.
鈥淚t鈥檚 like a complete brick,鈥 Di Zhiwen began his analogy, 鈥淚f it becomes unstable, there鈥檚 a high chance that cracks will appear. But the brick remains the same brick, and the presence of cracks doesn鈥檛 much interfere with the continued progression of the timeline.鈥
鈥淐racks?鈥 Yan Junze mused, asking, 鈥淚f there really are such cracks, how would one go about proving or discovering them?鈥
Di Zhiwen, smiling, pulled out his phone, brought up a photo he had taken, pointed at it and said, 鈥淪ee this stone here? I took a picture of it a couple of days ago. The crack on it was as thick as a finger a month ago, but now, it鈥檚 only as thick as a chopstick, which means its cracks are narrowing, as if it鈥檚 reverse growing.鈥
鈥淪tones reverse growing?鈥 Yan Junze was surprised.
Di Zhiwen said, 鈥淥f course not, but if the timeline in that area is unstable, then this subtle situation can occur. Original cracks in stones would usually get wider with wind and sun exposure, but in this unstable time state, there might be a day when the crack narrows, and on another day, the crack might suddenly get much bigger.鈥
鈥淲here is this place?鈥 Yan Junze asked, pointing at the stone in the photo, his heartbeat quickening.
鈥淚t鈥檚 in the yard of a friend鈥檚 house,鈥 Di Zhiwen answered.
鈥淲ow, this place is amazing! Professor, does your friend live in鈥︹€
鈥淩ight in Tianmeng City.鈥
After chatting with Di Zhiwen for a while and upon leaving, Yan Junze seemed very excited.
According to Di Zhiwen鈥檚 somewhat vague description, if one could verify the site, there was a high possibility that a space-time rift was in that place.
Such targeted searching was preferable, as it would no longer involve the wasteful scattering of Different Dimension Energy.
Currently, for Yan Junze, the most energy-consuming task was searching for space-time rifts.
As he pondered, he quickly arrived outside the school and went to the restaurant he often visited with his roommates. Yan Junze ordered several of their specialty dishes, estimated the time, and asked the staff to serve them slowly.
After sitting for about twenty minutes, Guo Youliang and Zhang Xiaomo arrived.
Yan Junze stood at the entrance of the restaurant, waved his hand, and his gaze was entirely fixed on Guo Youliang.
In reality, the Guo Youliang he now saw was the tall, physically strong Ancient Corpse, Mo Da. Only, Mo Da鈥檚 hair bun was gone, his hair was cut short, and he was dressed in modern clothes, lacking the ancient style. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
When Guo Youliang walked over, his gait was steady as the wind, his hands empty, without a spot on his person where a magnetic knife could be fitted.
Zhang Xiaomo was following close behind and almost had to jog to keep up. On seeing Yan Junze, her eyes slightly brightened, and her gaze stayed on him without wavering.
Yan Junze understood that this girl might truly have missed him.
鈥淯ncle Guo,鈥 Yan Junze extended his hand.
Guo Youliang鈥檚 face showed a sincere smile, he grasped Yan Junze鈥檚 hand firmly and said, 鈥淛unze, I came especially to thank you.鈥
鈥淧lease, no need for formality, let鈥檚 sit inside, the dishes will be served soon,鈥 Yan Junze said with a smile.
After Guo Youliang sat down, he said, 鈥淟et鈥檚 not speak of such formalities; I now consider you one of our own. The help you鈥檝e given me is like giving me a new lease on life, something I can never repay.鈥
Yan Junze didn鈥檛 know what to say, so he poured a cup of tea for Guo Youliang and Zhang Xiaomo. However, the phrase 鈥渘ew lease on life鈥 sounded somewhat familiar to him; it seemed that Xiang Er had said the same thing a few days ago.
鈥淗ow are you feeling now, Uncle Guo?鈥 Yan Junze asked.
Guo Youliang patted his chest, producing a sound like a heavy drum: 鈥淭his body is in excellent condition, and it has a very negative constitution, which not only allowed me to successfully Possess a Corpse to Resurrect but also led to other significant gains. Although鈥 it was a bit hard to get used to during the first few days.鈥
Zhang Xiaomo went to scald the chopsticks and bowls with boiling water, brought them back and set them up before speaking, 鈥淯ncle Guo is no longer a four-star Exorcist now, but a five-star. He completed his rehabilitation training at the squad headquarters and then passed the rank promotion test shortly thereafter. He鈥檚 not only a five-star but also a very powerful one at that.鈥
Yan Junze鈥檚 eyes brightened as he scrutinized Guo Youliang: 鈥淯ncle Guo, do tell, what changes have you experienced?鈥
Although Yan Junze had guessed this might be the result, his confidence was not strong. Now that it was confirmed, he was very pleased.
Guo Youliang said cheerfully, 鈥淏ecause I merged with this extremely negative constitution, and with my previous control over Magnetic Force, I鈥檝e now come to truly master the Ultimate Law, an Exorcist Technique only a five-star Exorcist can control. Hmm, no need for a magnetic knife.鈥
鈥淎nd Uncle Guo has mastered not just one form of Ultimate Law but two,鈥 Zhang Xiaomo added, 鈥渕aking him one of the very formidable five-star Exorcists.鈥
Yan Junze, unfamiliar with the term 鈥淯ltimate Law,鈥 had no concept of it, but it sounded very powerful, so he could only express his admiration with a nod.
鈥淐aptain Huo said that from now on Uncle Guo will be Tianmeng鈥檚 protector,鈥 Zhang Xiaomo said happily.
鈥淎nd the protector of you and your loved ones,鈥 Guo Youliang added, kindly looking at Yan Junze.
鈥淵ou mean, from now on, I can strut around Tianmeng?鈥 Yan Junze joked.
鈥淗aven鈥檛 you always been strutting?鈥 Zhang Xiaomo retorted.
Guo Youliang gave Zhang Xiaomo a glance, then looked back at Yan Junze, a knowing look in his eyes.
