“First!
Join the Ninth Division. With your talent, joining the Ninth Division won't be difficult. The current head of the Ninth Division is an old friend of mine! He will definitely take care of you!
Second!
Before midnight, look into a mirror and use your Qi and blood to activate your Slaughter Rune. Keep it up for half an hour!
Xiao Xin, many things are inconvenient to talk about right now. Don't lose this phone; I will contact you!”
The image froze there.
Fang Xin's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
In the video, Grandpa seemed to be hiding from something.
However, the lighting in the video was too dim to clearly see where he was.
Fang Xin re-watched the video but still found no useful location clues.
Thinking of Grandpa's sudden departure, there must be another hidden reason.
Returning to what Grandpa just said, according to him, he could join the Ninth Division.
This proved that what the white-haired handsome guy said was correct.
As for the second thing...
Facing a mirror at night?
What was that for?
Fang Xin checked the time; it was a little past eight, still some time before Grandpa's specified hour.
He turned the phone over and over, confirming that the only clue Grandpa left was this video.
Unable to extract any more useful information, Fang Xin put the phone aside.
He looked at the Sky Shield Smart Connect Device on the table.
When he opened it, it was the same device Zhuge Heng had used to look up information that afternoon.
It opened into an L-shape.
A virtual screen would appear in the angle.
This device wasn't heavy at all; in fact, it was very light.
After powering it on.
Two buttons appeared on the virtual screen.
“Identity Registration!”
“Account Login!”
Fang Xin thought for a moment and clicked on Identity Registration.
“Please face the center of the screen to complete facial recognition!”
Fang Xin faced the screen directly.
“Facial recognition complete. Please enter the invitation code or inviter.”
Fang Xin was stumped when it came to entering the name.
The white-haired man had only said his name was Zhuge Heng but hadn't specified which character was the last one.
Moreover, the dialogue box below indicated only one input attempt.
Zhuge Heng hadn't left Fang Xin any contact information when he left. Mainly, when Fang Xin was about to ask, the white-haired man, as soon as he stepped out the door, used his spatial talent with Xiao Lu and vanished.
He only gave Fang Xin the small spatial orb that could summon him.
But Zhuge Heng had said that if he encountered danger, he could also crush this item to summon him.
Fang Xin didn't want to miss the great opportunity to freeload off this white-haired guy.
He could also take the opportunity to see how strong this white-haired guy truly was when he made a move.
His phone kept vibrating.
After Qin Junhao was recruited by the Seventh Division, he was so happy his tail was practically wagging to the sky. His father had bought him a luxury car worth seven million, and he was currently showing off photos in the group chat.
Xu Xiaoqiang was fawning over him endlessly like a sycophant.
Fang Xin just watched them both put on a show in the group chat, finding it amusing.
Chu Xinyao had also sent a message half an hour ago, “Student Xiao Fang, I want to go to the Ocean Theme Park. Will you come with me? Please, please.”
Fang Xin remembered that Chu Xinyao had brought him medicine before, so he owed her a favor. He bought two tickets for tomorrow, screenshotted them, and sent them over.
Chu Xinyao happily replied with a message.
“Wow! I knew Student Xiao Fang was the best! Oh, right, Student Xiao Fang, results were supposed to come out the day after tomorrow, but they were leaked early today, so the school decided to release them tomorrow!”
Fang Xin was stunned, not expecting the early announcement, but for him, he already knew the outcome.
“Got it!”
“Want to play some games?”
Fang Xin checked the time. Grandpa said in the video to look into the mirror before midnight, so he still had some time to kill.
“Log on!”
....
Xiao Wutong was pacing around like a monkey that had eaten wasabi.
He looked at Qin Junhao's report card over and over.
Each time he looked, he seemed on the verge of tears.
“This shouldn't be! How could this happen? Ally, are you sure this Qin Junhao is the person you met in the alley that day?”
Ally's ice-blue eyes looked at the screen of a white-framed Smart Connect Device, “I think so, I can't quite remember!”
Xiao Wutong rubbed his head vigorously with both hands, as if wearing a mask of pain.
“This definitely isn't him. Someone who barely reaches B-grade talent couldn't possibly have Level 4 combat power at this age.
I originally thought I'd found a treasure, and I rushed to poach him early. Now look, I've become a joke, and that Qin Junhao even held a big banquet, publicizing this matter everywhere.
Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, I really want to kick his butt hard with my size 42 leather shoe!”
Ally snapped the Smart Connect Device shut and changed the subject, “The higher-ups gave us a mission. They're sending our Seventh Division to protect someone!”
“Who?”
“Chu Xinyao! The specific information has been sent to you!”
Xiao Wutong shook his wristband, and a Smart Connect Device actually popped out of the small wristband. He opened it, scanned his face, and saw the latest message.
“Oh my god, this girl is actually the daughter of that important figure! These remnants of the Eternal Night Army actually dared to kidnap her daughter!”
Ally continued, “That important figure is involved in a secret, and the Eternal Night Army remnants want to use his daughter to blackmail him into revealing it.
But then again, the Eternal Night Army remnants have infiltrated too deeply. This early leak of results was done by someone arranged by the Eternal Night Army remnants. They also want to muddy the waters, disguise themselves as a major force, and poach some excellent talents to strengthen their own power!”
Xiao Wutong shook his head helplessly, then suddenly exclaimed, “To kidnap this girl, the opponent actually dispatched a Level 8 combatant?”
Ally nodded, “That's why our team leader will come personally!”
“We need to set off now to secretly protect that girl.”
....
Fang Xin put down his phone and checked the time. It was almost midnight. “I'm not playing anymore.”
“Okay! I'm tired too.”
“Go to bed early.”
“Okay! Good night! See you tomorrow!”
He put down his phone.
Fang Xin got up and walked towards the bathroom.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
He activated his Qi and blood.
The Slaughter Rune on the back of his hand glowed crimson and bloodthirsty.
But there was nothing unusual about himself in the mirror.
What exactly did Grandpa want him to stare at in the mirror?
Fang Xin stared at the mirror as time passed minute by minute.
At midnight, Fang Xin was still staring at the mirror, with various bizarre legends flashing through his mind, but ultimately, there was still nothing unusual.
According to Grandpa, he had stared for over half an hour, but still saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Fang Xin exhaled.
Today's time was up; it seemed he would have to wait until tomorrow.
Fang Xin turned to leave the bathroom.
But just as Fang Xin turned around.
Fang Xin's body suddenly stiffened.
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
Because he saw in his peripheral vision.
Fang Xin in the mirror.
Was holding his arms.
Staring at Fang Xin with a smile!
