Chapter 34 34. The Great Edric

"Hello, brother?"

Jiang Jianxin answered the phone and heard a familiar voice coming from the other end.

"Kenshin, how are you doing recently? Have you found a job? Are you short of money? I'll call you."

The young man's Mandarin was not standard, with a slight tongue roll and a cool tone, like a clear spring, which made people want to listen to a few more sentences.

Jiang Jianxin didn't have Bluetooth, so the call was being made out loud. When he said this, several people in front of him looked back curiously.

She glanced at the heads of the people looking at her. She was not surprised by this situation, but she didn't want anyone to hear the specific content of the conversation, so she had to turn down the volume of the microphone.

"Hello? Kenshin? Are you busy? Or should I call you later?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man on the other end of the phone asked again in confusion.

"Ah, brother, I'm here, I'm here."

Jiang Jianxin said hurriedly.

The young man seemed to smile, and said in a gentle tone:
"So, how's Kenshin doing lately? I read the resume you sent me a few days ago and I feel like Kenshin wrote it very well and is very outstanding."

Jiang Jianxin, who had just graduated from college a month ago, was busy looking for a job and had made several versions of his resume and sent them out everywhere.

But at that time, academic qualifications were devalued and the talent market was saturated. Even though Jiang Jianxin's undergraduate school was of a relatively high standard, he still encountered obstacles everywhere.

She had talked to her brother about her inner distress many times on WeChat.

The resume she sent to him was the only one she submitted successfully. However, before she could start working, she discovered Jian Zun's diary while playing with friends during her last vacation.

After that, my fate slipped uncontrollably in another direction... Looking back now, I can actually feel how much the world has changed.

Hearing the pre-apocalyptic word "resume" again made her feel a little complicated.

"Brother...are you still concerned about my job search?"

"Eh?"

The young man on the other end of the phone said in surprise:
"Because Kenshin thinks finding a job is important... Did my brother say something wrong?"

Jiang Jianxin didn't say anything, so the young man continued apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this. If Kenshin has encountered any difficulties recently, you can tell me. I can..."

"No, I didn't mean that. It's just that, brother, haven't you seen the outside world... the world has changed a lot."

Jiang Jianxin explained randomly.

She didn't know why the young man didn't know about this. The three days of rain had passed, and the whole world should have entered the end of the world.

Why do young people still feel that life is peaceful and tranquil?
The young man paused after hearing what she said, and then said:
"Is that so? Did Kenshin remember a lot of things too?"

There was an inexplicable expectation in his words. Jiang Jianxin couldn't figure out what he meant, so he said bluntly:
"I just remembered something."

"Remember what?"

"I became the peerless sword master at the age of eleven!"

"..."

The young man on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. Jiang Jianxin felt that this might not be what he wanted to remember.

She asked tentatively:

"elder brother?"

"Ahem...that..."

The young man's voice was as gentle as jade:
"It's good to have fantasies, but we still have to be pragmatic..."

Jiang Jianxin said regretfully:

"Brother, you actually question my status as the Sword Master."

Before the young man could explain awkwardly, she continued:

"Forget it. I didn't believe it at first... By the way, did you call me for anything other than asking about my work?"

The young man changed the subject and said, "I was originally concerned about your life and whether you needed money, but now that the world has become like this, money is probably of no use anymore."

"Brother gives you a blessing, Kenshin will always be safe and sound."

Jiang Jianxin saw a message window slide out from the call page:
【Brother】:〔Flash Image〕

The young man's gentle voice came from the phone:
"Brother has something else to do, so I'll hang up first. Remember to check the messages, Kenshin."

"beep……"

"beep……"

Jiang Jianxin closed the communication page and opened his brother's WeChat chat window.

What he sent me was a pitch-black flash picture, which required you to press and hold for three seconds to see one second.

Jiang Jianxin had no doubts and opened the flash map and pressed it.

"pat-"

The black picture suddenly lit up, revealing a black and purple magic circle. The entire formation exuded an ominous aura. The moment Jiang Jianxin saw it, she felt as if an eye had opened behind her, staring at her and making her feel creepy.

"Om——"

She subconsciously summoned the Tangguang Sword and stabbed backwards, but missed.

——There is nothing behind it.

"Jiang... Lord Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

The girl in the front seat asked tremblingly.

When Tang Guang drew his sword with murderous intent, it made a sound, and this sound attracted the attention of almost everyone in the car.

Even He Juping, who was in the driver's seat, turned around and asked with confused concern:
"That turn just now was a bit too quick. Is Lord Jiang carsick?"

Jiang Jianxin wiped the sweat that suddenly appeared on his forehead, put Tangguang back into the sheath with a snap, and said calmly:
"Oh...haha, yes, I've had motion sickness since I was a child. Please drive more steadily."

The people in the front seat didn't suspect anything and turned their heads away.

Jiang Jianxin held the Tangguang Sword and looked at the chat window with the young man.

The flash image had been destroyed, but the eerie feeling had not dissipated. She angrily sent a message to the young man.

[Jiang Jianxin]: Brother, what kind of hellish thing did you send me? Why does it feel so eerie when I open it? I feel like someone is staring at me.

[Brother]: Sister, you really have a bad memory.

【Jiang Jianxin】：?

[Brother]: Have you forgotten that I, your brother, have a special job and cannot send out things from the mortal world?
【Jiang Jianxin】：? ?
Unlike the tenderness and deep brotherly love in real phone calls, the conversations between Jiang Jianxin and her brother on WeChat were particularly concise and tough.

Maybe it’s because we chat too much on WeChat, so it’s awkward to talk in real life. But once we switch to the Internet, we become familiar old friends, like two completely different people.

Jiang Jianxin looked at her brother's reply and was completely confused.

Seeing that the other party didn't continue the conversation, she couldn't resist her curiosity and continued typing.

[Jiang Jianxin]: I really don’t remember, so what is your occupation?
[Brother]: I am the agent of the God of Death and Silence, the great necromancer, Lord Edric.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at the line of words and couldn't hold back his laughter for a long time. He laughed out loud, which attracted the attention of his colleague in the front seat.

She didn't bother to explain and continued typing with her teeth bared.

[Jiang Jianxin]: Brother, I know you love to fantasize, but we should not have the "middle school syndrome" when we are old enough.

The young man on the other end of the phone didn't reply for a long time. When Jiang Jianxin was about to get impatient, he sent a cute emoticon pack of "Troubled Rice Ball".

The little rice ball on the screen was rolling around and rubbing its head, with the young man's words below.

[Brother]: Forget it. You won’t believe me even if I tell you now. Wait until some time passes and the gap in the “door” gets bigger. Then I can go over and accompany you.

Jiang Jianxin looked at this speech that was full of second-rate nonsense, touched his nose, and took out the rice ball emoticons from his favorites. He found a scratching head rice ball and sent it to him.
