"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get to work."
"Oh."
Yue Ruo turned and ran to the troop carrier, leading the soldiers to separate the crowd according to their kinship and arranged them in tents.
Then he found an excuse to explain to the confused crowd that although the crisis was over, everyone might have health problems, so to be on the safe side, everyone should not leave yet. The Abnormal Investigation Bureau has already transported testing equipment here, and it will not be too late to leave after the inspection is completed.
On the surface, the behavior shows some signs of house arrest.
However, people did not express dissatisfaction. Instead, they praised the Bureau of Investigation for its thoughtful considerations and responsibility for everyone's safety. As a result, things went smoothly and more than a hundred people were accommodated in just one hour.
Lin Miao moved quickly.
The next morning, a number of large vans arrived on the beach.
The director was so excited that he did not sleep all night. With dark circles under his eyes, he directed the soldiers to unload the equipment and place them under the awning that was built overnight.
Luo Xiling stood behind a few palm trees at the edge of the sand with her arms folded, chatting with Yue Ruo and asking about the details of yesterday's unusual movements.
"So, Master, what you mean is that there are extraordinary people among these people?"
"It shouldn't be that easy, right?" Yue Ruo looked at the long line of people walking out of the tent to get a physical examination, "Otherwise why would the mountain gate go through the trouble of picking out the five of you? You can just wait in front of the statue.
If someone is gifted, he will immediately go and become a disciple. "
Luo Xiling scratched her face with her index finger. "According to what Master said, the Russian soldiers have become so strong that they can easily crush a gun. This is beyond the realm of ordinary people."
Yue Ruo was also a little confused about this.
The dream of embarking on the path of transcendence is undoubtedly difficult to achieve.
When the mountain sect wanted to recruit disciples, it first looked for more than 20 reserve candidates from the more than 1 billion Chinese people. Then the reserve candidates competed, and only the five who remained could join the mountain sect.
If the same effect can be achieved by sincerely worshipping the statue, wouldn't the mountain gate be lowering its status?
She speculated: "I feel like there might be side effects, or serious drawbacks."
"for example?"
"For example, the statue can take back the power it has bestowed at any time, and there is a limit to the number of times the power can be used each day.
You are different. What you have mastered is yours."
Yue Ruo made some random guesses and actually got most of them right.
The reason why Zhang Mu blessed the faith of those kneeling down without any worries was because he could take it back with just a thought.
He did not actually perform the operation, but it would basically be correct. This was the information that the statue transmitted to his mind when he made the contract with the statue.
In other words, the more mortals rely on gods, the more they are controlled. That is why Novak, who successfully signed the contract with the gods, was so sad, because the creatures of Sol Continent were destined to be enslaved by gods forever and could not escape until death.
"What are you doing here?" The equipment was installed and the inspection was carried out by special medical staff. Lin Miao had nothing to do. He looked around and saw two people hiding in the woods, so he walked over curiously.
"Discuss the statue."
"What are you discussing about the statue?"
"Can the statue create the extraordinary?"
"No way." Lin Miao said firmly.
Yue Ruo was surprised and asked, "Are you so sure?"
"Xu Xianren told the director." Lin Miao stood in the wide shade under the palm leaves to avoid the hot sun. "The power of the statue is very strong. It can even grant extraordinary cultivation methods, but Blue Star does not have the energy required for cultivation."
Luo Xiling suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, I rely on the power bank given by Master to practice, and I have to go back to the mountain gate to recharge from time to time."
"Yeah, that's what I mean. As for other things... like increased strength, being able to control the body and fly freely, compared to supernormal, I think it's more appropriate to call it 'superpowers'."
"It seems so."
Lin Miao felt that it was unnecessary to discuss this matter, as it would not produce any results. She smiled and changed the subject: "Xiao Luo, don't you like others to take pictures with you? Why are you hiding in the woods?"
"Don't mention it." Luo Xiling said with a sour face.
Lin Miao was confused, and Yue Ruo laughed and explained: "The tourists didn't want to take a photo with her at all."
"Who do you want to be with?"
"Moonlight Sword."
"what?"
"Didn't our Abnormal Investigation Bureau's official website upload a video of the Immortal Xu holding the Moonlight Sword and raising his hand to ward off disaster?
Everyone wants to see Yueming's graceful figure, and it just so happens that all the Chinese know that Xiaoluo has the Yueming Sword, so they don't all look for her. "
Lin Miao almost laughed out loud when she heard this, but when she glanced at Luo Xiling's dark face, she felt that it would be better not to hurt the little girl's tortured and weak heart.
It took him a while to hold back his laughter before he said to her, "By the way, the director asked me to inform you that after the test results come out, if there are no other accidents, you should go back to the Su City base first."
Luo Xiling was even more unhappy: "Why are you in such a hurry to get me out?"
“I’m not driving you away.
There are only four of them stationed at the Su City base, and the director is worried that if a disaster strikes at this time, they will not be able to cope with it."
The reason was very sufficient, Luo Xiling nodded in agreement.
The three of them continued to chat while the physical examination on the beach was in full swing.
The matter was of great importance, and the director repeatedly stressed that the process must be done carefully and meticulously, without any omissions, so it took a lot of time. We started working early in the morning and didn't finish until the sun went down.
The setting sun was mostly obscured by the horizon. The director walked towards the palm tree with his back to the light, his face dim and unclear.
"The results are out." He held a stack of test reports in his hand, "Most people are healthy and have been arranged to return home.
Here are the remaining ones, take a look at them."
Yue Ruo took the report and the three of them put their heads together to read it.
“No way, out of more than a hundred people, only seven showed up?” Yue Ruo said in astonishment after reading it.
"You think it's not enough?" The director was a little surprised.
"Weren't all the dozen or so Russian soldiers who worshipped God blessed?"
The director pinched his chin and said, "Well... judging from the proportion of people, we are indeed short."
"It's not just a little bit less, it's almost ten times the difference, what's the problem?"
"I'll go ask Master Xu." The report was a top-secret document. The director told Yue Ruo to file it quickly, and he turned around and ran towards Kunpeng.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for Zhang Mu to come out to see him at this moment.
Area seventeen.
Zhang Mu activated the transformation spell and turned into Tefan, took out the wooden staff from the storage bag, and walked towards the classroom with small steps.
I haven't paid attention to them for more than a month, and I don't know how the five of them are doing in class.
…………
In the empty lecture hall.
Farid and four other students sat in a row, watching the teacher's hand movements at the podium.
There was a transparent glass jar on the desk, with a ball of blue fire suspended at the bottom of the jar. The water in the jar was heated and boiling.
The teacher, whose beard reached down to his chest, was throwing in all sorts of strange materials.
There are bones, plants, neatly cut square sticks, hair, soil, etc.
The materials sank, floated and tumbled in the water, and green smoke rose from the surface.
"Did you see it?" The teacher with a solemn expression raised his head and asked the five people.
They had no idea what the teacher wanted them to see, and out of honesty, they all shook their heads.
The teacher was silent for a while: "Nowadays, don't people here even teach children the basics of pharmacy?"
"Teacher." The girl raised her hand.
"explain."
"We have pharmacy, but it's not a required subject, and... it's a little different from what you teach."
The Russian man secretly twisted his mouth. A little difference? A little difference, right?
There's nothing similar about it, okay?
The teacher sighed: "There is no other way. I can only start from the beginning and take notes."
The five of them hurriedly picked up their pens and opened their notebooks, their noses hovering at the beginning of the first line.
“Pharmacy Beginner’s Guide, Pharmacy Basics Handbook, Pharmacy Advanced Edition Teaching.
Go to the library after school to get these three books. You must read them today... Well, the next pharmacy class is in three days, so let's read them all in three days."
After saying this, the teacher waved his hand in front of him, and the suspended fireball and glass jar disappeared at the same time.
After the teacher walked out of the classroom, the girl dared to shout: "So cool!
Sure enough, I am more interested in pharmacy!"
The young woman closed her notebook. “Stop being cool and start worrying about whether you can finish three textbooks in three days.”
"I just read it, and I didn't ask you to memorize it. How difficult is that?"
“It’s a read-through.
Reading through means reading the whole book from beginning to end, not just jumping around and reading the key parts." Farid reminded.
Oh, so what?
The girl remained confident, until she went to the library with four people to pick up three textbooks. Then she just wanted to say - I'm sorry, I was reckless.
She stared at the textbooks that were stacked up to her chest and questioned the administrator: "Did you take the wrong one?"
"Huh?" The administrator was stunned for a moment, then quickly came out from behind the table and carefully checked a stack of books.
"You scared me." He looked relieved and muttered, "No one has received the Basic Pharmacy textbook for hundreds of years, and I thought I really got the wrong one.
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you."
The girl was angry but unable to refute, so she had to move the textbooks onto the cart and go back to the dormitory with the four others.
On the road.
