How come I was the one being targeted?

Bai Jun turned over, and the moonlight coming in from the window reminded him of fragments of the past.

His relationship with Taishi Suihuang can be traced back to the period when he temporarily lived in Zhu Ming. At that time, he followed Huai Yan to learn the skills of forging weapons. Due to an accident, he accidentally came into contact with the flame deep in the Zhulian Palace.

It pulsed and transformed, like a talking heart. Every ray of light pulsed like a surging torrent, like a raging rage suppressed since time immemorial, gnawing and growling, trying to penetrate his consciousness.

In an instant, countless scenes, like pages of a book toppled over by the wind, swept madly past and poured into his sea of ​​consciousness:

——A "tree" with no visible edge hangs down from the sky, its branches piercing through the starry sky.

—In the vacuum, ships spewing the light of the sun and moon rushed like fireflies chasing a stream of fire, rushing towards the ever-changing flesh and blood, and the human-shaped birds with outstretched wings...

—I heard the roars of the Cloud Chariot and Star Raft before they crashed, coming from the communication earrings. “Protect the Immortal Boat!” “Cloud Riders, Ever Victorious!”…

——The hundreds-meter-tall golden giant strode forward, stretching out its cold iron arms to fight with the giant beast with countless eyeballs, sharp teeth and gelatinous flesh.

The flames roared and rang in his ears. When Bai Jun came to his senses, he had been rescued by Huai Yan. Although he was lucky enough not to be possessed by another body, there was still a small ball of residual flame named Tai Shi Sui Huang in the depths of his soul.

Thinking about it this way, his experience is quite similar to Huo Huo's, but the only difference is that the relationship between him and Suihuang is more like a struggle for sovereignty than symbiosis.

Fortunately, by using the magic sword made for him by Yan Tingjun, he was able to gain the upper hand in the fight. Over time, Bai Jun can now even actively use the power of the residual flame of Suihuang in his body. To put it in more understandable terms, it is like the relationship between the tailed beast and the jinchūriki.

However, it is obvious that Suihuang is not as easy to deal with as the tailed beasts. The price of this power is that part of the vitality will be taken away. If it happens too many times, there is a risk of sudden death on the spot.

"Really... It's so troublesome. My life is right here. Take as much as you want." Bai Jun muttered to Emperor Sui. He acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He closed his eyes and started to fight!

But this time was different from the past. I didn’t feel any discomfort after waiting for a long time. On the contrary, I even felt a warm feeling rising from deep within my body.

"etc....."

Bai Jun seemed to remember something, sat up suddenly, and quickly clicked on the system interface of "Praise for Noble Morals".

"Praise for high morals"

"90/100"

Because of what happened just now, the moral value difference between him and the lottery is only 10 points.

But this is not the point. Bai Jun's eyes were fixed on the ability in the column below called "Grace of the Sun".

The status bar, which usually remained unmoved and seemed to have a bug, suddenly flashed with a burning light. Considering the abnormality of his body now, Bai Jun quickly realized that it might be this ability that suppressed Sui Huang.

In order to prove this guess, Bai Jun quickly jumped off the bed and ran to pick up his long sword. As usual, Suihuang's power was quickly redeployed to the long sword.

The light on the "Sun's Grace" ability in the status bar grew stronger. At the same time, an unknown power suddenly rose in my body, exploding like a volcano, and my muscles and bones crackled...

Seeing this, Bai Jun decisively severed the connection between himself and Emperor Sui, and the abnormalities in his body stopped.

Clenching his fists tightly, Bai Jun was startled by the power surging from his body. Only then did he realize that the muscles in his arms had almost grown a circle. Aside from the shock, a new question slowly arose in Bai Jun's mind:

"Why is Suihuang's power connected to the sun's grace..."

Thoughts came to his mind one after another, and Bai Jun soon found an idea. He remembered that in the Zhulian Palace, the true form of Suihuang was a ball of light as dazzling as a star.

Looking at the sky outside the window, a lonely waning moon slanted down, casting mottled shadows. Bai Jun suddenly thought that the sun and moon in the cave were actually artificial light sources, and had nothing to do with stars in essence.

Perhaps the true power of "Sun's Grace" is related to this. Thinking of this, Bai Jun's thoughts suddenly became clear: "Looks like I need to take some time out one of these days. I need to find a star to bask in like Dachao."

If that doesn't work, go back to Zhuming and visit the Zhulian Palace.

After finalizing the idea, Bai Jun suddenly felt that all the previous sleepiness had disappeared. Perhaps this was also one of the abilities of "The Grace of the Sun". Feeling grateful for the convenience of this ability, Bai Jun stretched himself and decided to take a shower in a good mood.

While taking a shower, Bai Jun was still pondering the other abilities he had drawn, especially the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, which he seemed to have figured out a bit.

After he finished taking a shower, he found that the jade meter on the bedside was still jingling non-stop, and the text messages sent one after another almost swallowed up the entire screen. Feeling something was wrong, Bai Jun picked up the jade meter and found that it was indeed a message from the silver hacker.

【Silver Hacker: Log in! Log in! Log in!】

[Silver Hacker: You just agreed to something this afternoon, but you're canceling it tonight, right?]

Bai Jun was startled and looked up at the clock. It was 21:37 p.m.

Fortunately, there was still a chance to make amends and explain. In order to avoid his browsing history being discovered, he quickly draped the towel over his shoulders and poked and swiped the screen with his hands.

Nan Liujing: I'm here! I just got off work! I won't miss a date!

【Silver Hacker:???】

【Silver Hacker: You better be. 】

【Silver Hacker: Log in quickly! 】

Seeing that he had finally gotten over it, Bai Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't really want to play games, there was nothing he could do at this point.

And she didn’t say today that she couldn’t play with the Odachi, right?

Never mind, how about opening the gate?

................

A room with pink and light blue walls is filled with game cartridges and various equipment, and the cupboards are full of action figures and comics. At first glance, one would think that the owner of the room is a real otaku.

In fact, this was indeed the case, but unlike the greasy and fat stereotype, she was very cute, with a snow-white ponytail that complemented her fair skin, and her white and tender legs casually resting on the table. Her cold little face was filled with inexplicable anger, and her big eyes revealed disbelief at what was on the screen in front of her.

"No buddy, is this Denglong still empty?"

Silver Wolf threw the controller onto the bed and covered his face with his hands, wondering whether Bai Jun, who was sitting opposite him, was still a human being.

The word "eye-catching" can no longer be used to describe this operation. It is simply inhuman. She has been playing games for so many years and has never seen anyone so bad.

"Oh, I'm so angry that my head hurts."

Silver Wolf rubbed the corners of his swollen eyes and repeatedly told himself not to get angry. After all, it was quite to his liking that this guy was assisting him.

She reached out to take another sip of the happy water, but found that the bottle was already empty, so she threw it on the ground full of empty bottles in annoyance.

【Silver Hacker: Excuse me first.】

[Nan Liujing: ???]

He paused the game and explained something to Bai Jun. Regardless of whether he understood or not, Silver Wolf jumped out of bed and ran barefoot to the refrigerator in the living room to get a Coke.

The huge living room was extremely quiet at this time. The only sounds were the humming sound of the refrigerator brake and the thud-thud of feet on the floor. Silver Wolf held three bottles of Coke and looked at the empty sofa.

Usually Kafka and Liuying like to sit there and chat with Elio, and occasionally Blade will show up too. However, Kafka has been out on a mission recently, and Blade has gone out with "Me and My Thousand Ways to Die" to challenge the limits of his body. As for Elio, he is always elusive and no one knows where he goes.

"It's better to be busy, everyone should be busy..."

As she was speaking, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed behind her and asked in confusion, "Eh? Silver Wolf, what are you talking about?"

The sudden sound beside her startled Silver Wolf, and she almost dropped the Coke in her arms. She turned her head, and the first thing that caught her eye was the huge and proud chest. She had to look up again to see the other person's face.

"It's nothing, just a joke. But you, Liuying, don't appear behind others quietly next time." Silver Wolf muttered softly.

The girl called Firefly was wearing an emerald dress, her silver hair tied up in a gentle bun, and her fair and delicate face was particularly beautiful. After hearing what Silver Wolf said, she frowned slightly in confusion: "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to remind you to drink less Coke. It's not good for your health and will prevent you from growing taller..."

"Can I take this as a provocation to me, you big guy!" Because he was holding Coke in his arms, Silver Wolf had to butt his head towards Liuying, but was bounced back by her chest.

"Super, super big? Am I that fat? Even though I've been eating too many desserts lately, I shouldn't be fat..." Liuying's fair face quickly turned red, as delicate as a peach blossom. She covered her chest with her hands, and her voice of rebuttal became weaker and weaker.

"I'm not saying you're fat, it's just, it's just... Tsk, nothing! I want to go back."

Staring at the peak that kept rising and falling with his mood, Silver Wolf swallowed his saliva, then quietly lowered his head, but what he saw was his own snow-white toes. In the end, he could only reluctantly skip the topic.

Liuying suddenly reached out and gently grabbed the corner of Yinlang's clothes, "Um, Yinlang, do you want to go back to play games?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"That's right, that's right..." She lowered her head slightly, her long hair falling gently, covering her cheeks, a faint blush on her cheeks, her slender fingers rubbing the corners of her clothes unconsciously, her fingertips sometimes lightly outlining the fabric, and sometimes stopping, as if thinking about how to start.

Seeing her shy appearance, a bold idea emerged in Silver Wolf's mind. She tried to ask, "Do you want to play too?"

"Yeah! I still want to play the game I played at your place, Silver Wolf, two days ago!"

Although I don’t know why Liuying suddenly wants to play games, it’s just right. Let Liuying continue to play with Nan Liujing, and she can just watch from the side.

So Silver Wolf nodded decisively and agreed.

ps: I have had a fever for three days since the day before yesterday. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told that the inflammation was too severe and that intravenous drips alone were ineffective.

I'm really sorry for the late update, sorry again.

Chapter 38: The Cold Crow's Request (2/3)

"Ah, I'm so tired. I played too much last night..."

Early in the morning, Bai Jun reluctantly got out of bed and looked at the scenery outside the window at the sun rising at noon. He wondered if this scene had happened two days ago. There was always an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He lazily walked to the bathroom to wash up, and tidied up his half-long silver hair that was a mess like a bird's nest. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes in the mirror, he suddenly felt regretful.

Damn it, Bai Jun, ah Bai Jun, you can’t play games all night like this anymore, otherwise you’ll be really wasted… But the katana is really fun?

Coming to the living room, Bai Jun habitually turned on the old radio before starting to make breakfast. Although he said he was cooking, he was actually just perfunctorily heating up fast food.

[This is Luofu Morning News. Good morning, everyone. We will bring you the latest daily news.]

The Xianzhou Alliance will re-sign a reciprocal trade agreement with the Interstellar Peace Corporation, which will benefit the bilateral economy, further promote the opening of each other's markets, and deepen cooperation in agriculture, industry, medicine, culture, and other fields, laying a solid foundation for creating a free, open, prosperous, and win-win commercial market.

At the signing ceremony, Luofu Tianbo's Si Yukong Si Duo and the spokesperson for Interstellar Peace's Marketing Department exchanged views and reached a consensus on issues such as the impact of interstellar security on the free market.

The familiar female host's voice is still pleasant and professional, delivering the emotionless voice steadily and accurately.

Bai Jun listened boredly without stopping the cooking at hand. He quickly added the heated cheese, bacon, pickle slices, and the leftover century eggs from the previous few days into the steamed bun. A dark-style Bai-style burger was ready. Apart from the fact that it looked a bit disgusting, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, right?

I took a full mouthful, and sure enough, it didn't taste very good.

Just as Bai Jun was struggling to resolve the sin he had committed, the next piece of news suddenly caught his attention.

[Breaking news! Miss Robin, a singer from the Sky Ring Tribe born in Pinoconi and renowned throughout the Galaxy, will be performing at Xianzhou Luofu on her next global tour. Music lovers from across the universe will be gathered. Whether you're a fan of classical music or a fan of Galaxy pop, this rare auditory feast is well worth savoring!]

"Mockingbird? Such a familiar name..."

Bai Jun swallowed the last bite of his hamburger thoughtfully, then stood up and walked to the CD player he usually used to listen to music, and pulled out an album with "Swinging in Loneliness" written on it. The front of the album depicted the figure of a girl with exquisite brushstrokes, and when he turned it over, the signature on the back of the album was exactly Robin.

No wonder it sounds so familiar, I have indeed heard it before... But to be honest, Bai Jun thinks her singing is really good, and if he has the chance, he will buy a ticket to support her.

Glancing at the clock, Bai Jun saw that there was not much time left before work. He sighed helplessly and put the album back on.

"Okay, let's try to survive the new day."

After making another ambiguous declaration, Bai Jun opened the door, parted the cold morning mist, and took the first step towards getting off work!

........

Changletian, the official residence of Dihengsi.

Bai Jun, who was three minutes late, half-pushed the door open, poked his head in and looked around. After making sure that no one noticed him, he suppressed his joy and quietly slipped back to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, Deacon Jingyan came over from a distance, holding a large stack of documents, like a carnivore that smelled blood.

"give it to you!"

Without giving any specific instructions, Jing Yan just threw the document on Bai Jun's desk, gave him a thumbs up, and then left in a leisurely manner.

Bai Jun picked up the case with trembling hands, then glanced at the pile of documents. The smug joy he had just felt disappeared at this moment.

The work of the Land and Resources Bureau is both busy and relaxing. For example, they may occasionally be assigned tasks such as patrolling the streets, searching for lost pets, or mediating conflicts between neighbors, which is not very leisurely.

On the contrary, the work of handling case documents is much more troublesome, so most of the staff would rather go out on the street in the wind and sun than sit in the office and fight with paper and pen.

The reason why Bai Jun chose to stay in the government office and could still spare a lot of time to slack off every day was that he had real skills. With the experience of being a model ox and horse in his previous life, it was quite easy for him to handle these routine tasks.

After finishing the pile of documents in less than two hours, Bai Jun threw the broken seal brush onto the table, took out his book and started to slack off for the day.

"Ding ~"

Yu Zhao's text message ringtone rang, and Bai Jun put down the "Occupation Not Suitable for Dolls" in his hand and turned to look at Yu Zhao's screen.

【"Please do not disturb me if you have anything to do. If you have any questions, please contact me at work." Request to add me as your friend. 】

Who are you?

Bai Jun carefully observed the man's profile picture, pondered the name, and finally came to the conclusion that he was probably selling toilets again.

Having had enough of boring toilet introductions, Bai Jun decisively rejected the application.

As a result, I had just put down Yu Zhao and hadn't even turned a few pages of the book when I heard the tinkling sound again. I picked it up and saw that it was that guy again.

【"Please do not disturb me if you have anything to do. If you have any questions, please contact me at work." Request to add me as your friend. 】

Bai Jun agreed to the application this time. He wanted to take a closer look at what this guy was trying to do.

[Please do not disturb me if you have anything to do. If you have any questions, please contact my work number: Hello~]
