I am reciting the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the interstellar

Chapter 218 The relationship between master and apprentice (the second larger chapter, including April monthly pass+)

Quan Yuxun still had doubts about Xia Chujian's special abilities, which could not be dispelled by a high-level special-purpose helmet specially made by the Special Security Bureau.

So he thought about it and replied like this.

[Qilin]: You are kind to Quan, and I, Quan Yuxun, will never repay kindness with enmity.

Xia Chujian likes this kind of straightforwardness, without beating around the bush, without exaggerated metaphors, metaphors, metaphors, metaphors, parallels, rhetorical questions, and other rhetorical expressions.

She can understand it, and it can be preserved as evidence.

Xia Chujian secretly took a screenshot and saved it in Guang's brain, and then replied with a big animated picture of a cat spinning happily.

Quan Yuxun smiled and turned off the quantum optical brain and continued his work.

…

The day before Xia Chujian started school, she received news from Meng Guanghui that Wufu's family had not been found.

The Special Security Bureau agreed to register Wufu's identity as a minor who had lost her parents, and asked her and Xia Yuanfang to go to the Correctional Department in Mulan City to complete the procedures for adopting Wufu.

From now on, Wufu is officially part of the Xia family!

Xia Chujian and Xia Yuanfang were very happy. When going through the formalities, they designated the day when Xia Chujian met Wufu as his birthday.

So no matter how old Wufu actually is, he is only two years old and a little over a month old now.

It was also on this day that the battle for the new baron of the Beichen Empire finally came to light.

His Majesty the Emperor decreed that the head of the Mu family, Mu Anyi, was granted the title of new baron, and his fiefdom was located on a small island in the southern hemisphere of Beichen Star.

Being able to get a fiefdom on Beichen Star where the imperial capital is located, and it is also a separate island, this favor has even exceeded that of many earls and viscounts.

Rumor has spread throughout the upper class of the Beichen Empire that the Mu family got such a good placement through Mrs. Jiuyi's path.

Of course, this form of gossip news cannot be circulated on the Star Network.

In fact, any news about Mrs. Jiuyi will not be circulated on the Star Network.

Therefore, ordinary civilians don't know who the new baron is from, and they don't care.

In short, things like titles are too far away from ordinary people's lives.

In addition to having a meal on the Star Network and watching the excitement, that's enough. Everyone still has to live their own lives.

Also on this day, the graduation exam results of all high school seniors on Guiyuan Planet were announced.

Mulan City No. 1 High School is no exception.

Xia Chu didn't even take it seriously when he saw it, and didn't even remember to check his results.

But her cheap employer never said anything but always remembered it in her heart.

He asked for Xia Chujian's exam number from Huo Yushen, went directly to the Guiyuanxing High School graduation exam results announcement website, and used Xia Chujian's exam number to check.

"Xia Chu, female, eighteen years old.

Literature: 145 points.

Mathematics: 150 points.

Physics: 135 points.

Chemistry: 150 points.

Total score: 580 points.

Ranking: 2nd in Guiyuanxing and 2nd in the city. "

Su Buyan couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this result.

He even wiped the physical display screen several times before looking at it again.

"... In the entire Guiyuan Star's high school graduation exam, the full score was 600 points, and this girl actually got 580 points! - With this score, she is still a scumbag?!" Su Buyan murmured to himself, unable to bear it. Please send a message to Huo Yushen.

[Su Buyan]: Huo Shuai, didn’t you say that Xia Chujian’s grades were very poor? I just checked her high school graduation results, and she actually ranked second among all the stars!

Then he sent a screenshot of Xia Chujian’s results.

Huo Yushen: "..."

This result is fake no matter how you look at it.

Huo Yushen checked Xia Chujian's academic performance throughout high school. Except for math, which was pretty good, literature and chemistry were hovering between passing and failing. I never passed physics.

How could it be possible that my grades suddenly soared during the graduation exam?

Could it be cheating?

But Huo Yushen also knew that with the Beichen Empire's strict control over the examination room, cheating in the examination room was impossible.

Unless someone missed the question beforehand.

But with Xia Chujian's status and the financial level of her family, it was impossible for anyone to miss the question for her.

Her kind of family is neither of a class that can miss the question, nor of an economic level that can miss the question.

But how did her performance achieve this qualitative leap?

However, Huo Yushen only doubted it for a moment and then threw it away.

Does he know how Xia Chujian got high marks in the exam?

As long as you're not cheating in the exam room, that's fine.

If you cheat in the exam room, you will not be admitted to the Special Security Bureau.

Su Buyan was still there feeling proud.

[SuBuYan]: I said my vision is good! How could the assistant I was attracted to be a bad student!

Huo Yushen struck him calmly.

[Huo Yushen]: Xia Chujian is a special agent of our Special Security Bureau. Your private employment agreement with Xia Chujian needs the permission of the Special Security Bureau.

Su Buyan was furious when he saw it.

[Su Bu Yan]: Huo Yushen! You have gone too far! When I signed the agreement with Chu Jian, you didn’t say no!

At that time, Su Buyan specifically asked Huo Yushen to borrow a fighter plane that could make space jumps because of Shao Si's order for the black silver mecha, so Huo Yushen knew the causes and consequences.

Of course Huo Yushen would not say that he had advanced Xia Chujian's joining date by half a year.

So when Su Buyan accused him, Huo Yushen deliberately misled him.

[Huo Yushen]: At that time, Xia Chujian was performing a special mission and it was inconvenient to reveal her true identity to the outside world, so she could sign an agreement. But these agreements, after her mission is completed, must by law be voided.

Because the staff of the Special Security Bureau cannot have another employment relationship with other departments or private individuals.

Su Buyan was so angry that he immediately sent a series of curse words.

Huo Yushen waited until he finished venting before replying.

[Huo Yushen]: However, you can be her master. The master-apprentice relationship is not considered an employment relationship and is not within the scope of the law.

When Su Buyan saw this reply, his sadness turned into joy. He was so happy that he felt that his chest was filled with joy and he wanted to shout.

He even stood up and ran to the lawn outside. He ran a few more laps and didn't stop until he was sweating profusely.

He originally regarded himself as the master whom Xia Chu met. If the master-disciple relationship could be fixed in the form of a contract, why not do it?

Just do what you say.

Returning to his laboratory, he immediately drafted a master-disciple relationship agreement and sent it to Xia Chujian.

This agreement also states that after this agreement comes into effect, all previous agreements will be invalid.

In other words, this master-apprentice agreement replaced the previous employment agreement.

And in order to get Xia Chumai to agree, he even raised his monthly salary to five thousand a month!

Look where you can find a master like him!

Not only did he not accept the filial piety from his apprentices, he also took the initiative to pay his wages!

When Xia Chujian saw this master-disciple agreement, he originally resisted.

But when she saw the monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, as well as the five insurances and one housing fund fully paid by her master, she suddenly became a little unsure.

She also has five insurances and one fund in the Special Security Bureau, but an agency like the Special Security Bureau only pays half of the five insurances and one fund, and she has to pay the other half by herself, which needs to be deducted directly from her salary.

But here at Su Buyan, although he is an apprentice, his responsibilities and work are no different from those of an assistant. Moreover, he is not full-time, but part-time, and does not need to work forty hours a week.

The salary is twice as high!

Such a good agreement, should she sign it or sign it...

It looks better than the Security Bureau’s employment agreement!

In addition to the golden name of the Special Security Bureau, Su Buyan, an unreliable person in Xia Chujian, could not compare with him.

While she was muttering, "I will never become a disciple when I first meet, unless I provide food and accommodation," she accidentally clicked the confirmation button.

Then, she forwarded the agreement to Huo Yushen and asked him: As an employee of the Special Security Bureau, can he have a master-apprentice relationship with outsiders? A paid mentor-disciple relationship? The kind of master-disciple relationship in which the master pays the apprentice...

Huo Yushen was speechless when he saw the silent master-disciple agreement.

For a part-time job, I will be given five thousand Beichen coins a month. Does this idiot Su Buyan know the salary level in Mulan City?

If he does this, what will the Special Security Bureau do?

Xia Chujian's current salary level in the Special Security Bureau is relatively low, two thousand yuan a month. Although it is definitely a high salary in Mulan City, it is not enough elsewhere.

But in comparison, Su Buyan's part-time "apprentice" salary is not even half of that.

Huo Yushen was a little worried whether Xia Chujian would resign directly because of this...

After all, this scumbag is very money obsessed.

After pondering for a long time, Huo Yushen opened the internal system of the Special Security Bureau again and wrote a report on Xia Chujian's salary increase.

Soon, Xia Chujian's salary was raised from two thousand yuan a month to five thousand yuan a month, just to prevent Su Buyan from taking Xia Chujian away.

He also pointed out that Xia Chujian was helping him find his sister.

After Huo Yushen finished writing the report, he turned on the quantum entanglement encryption mode of the quantum optical brain and sent a video call invitation to his mother who was far away in Beichen Star.

It was around nine o'clock in the evening in Beichenxing.

She Zhuyin was sitting alone in the bright living room, eating a plate of fried dumplings with egg skin, while watching the evening news on Beichen Star Royal TV.

Clicking on the video call invitation sent by Huo Yushen, She Zhuyin said calmly: "Is something wrong? I'm having a midnight snack."

Huo Yushen didn't say anything nonsense, just picked up the hood with a human face and pointed it at the camera.

She Zhuyin immediately recognized the human-faced hood, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "...What's going on? Who made this human-faced hood?"

Huo Yushen said: "He is an unexpected person."

As he said this, he told Quan Yuxun how he had asked Xia Chujian to wear the mask with a human face as a bait.

She Zhuyin frowned: "...It's actually the Quan family? What is their purpose for doing this?"

Huo Yushen said: "It's not clear yet, but it gave us a second clue."

She Zhuyin came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Yes, maybe someone from the Quan family has seen her or even knows your sister's identity. Then they should also know where she is now, right?"

When she asked the last sentence, She Zhuyin showed a look of hope on her face.

Huo Yushen said: "Other than this human face mask, we can't find any direct evidence to prove that someone in the Quan family knows the whereabouts of my sister."

"And I can't directly question Quan Yuxun with this human face hood."

"But I thought of another way and looked it up."

Then, Huo Yushen was too lazy to speak and directly sent the memo he had written recently to She Zhuyin.

She Zhuyin silently clicked on it to check.

Memo 1:

"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, special instruments were used to analyze the raw material composition of this human face hood, as well as the machine production model."

"As expected, this human face hood is produced by the Imperial Factory. In the entire Beichen Empire, only the Imperial Factory can carry out large-scale mass production of simulated human face hoods."

"They have a special system that uses special biological materials and unique production methods to produce this kind of facial hood that is structurally indistinguishable from a real human face."

"The first step in production is to cast the portrait."

"Most of the original faces of the portrait casts are synthetic images generated by mechanical intelligence. In other words, they are not photos of real people."

"There are only a few headscarves with human faces, and they are made of real heads."

"This kind of real-life hoods are all commissioned by the Special Security Bureau and are used as stand-ins for big shots."

Memo 2:

"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, I took advantage of the Special Security Bureau's opportunity to commission the production of a new batch of real-person face hoods in the new year, and had a 'friendly exchange' with the system at the Royal Factory."

When She Zhuyin saw this, she smiled knowingly.

Being able to describe hacking as a high-sounding "friendly exchange", her son is indeed a character.

She continued to read.

"I took the opportunity to check the factory's finished product production plan for the past five years, and found records of portrait casts similar to this human face hood. It was actually commissioned for production in the middle of last year."

"After analysis and comparison, this cast of the head with a human face and hood has 32 more real skeletal key points than the previously obtained mechanical intelligent drawing.

"This shows that the client of this facial mask has photos of the face that are clearer and have more angles than the photo we obtained."

"From this perspective, it can be inferred that the client must have seen his sister before, and may even know where she is now."

Memo Three:

"On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, I started to check who the client was, but I couldn't find it at all. This client was actually able to mix this commission with the normal production tasks of this factory every year. Unless we investigate the entire factory staff , otherwise it will be difficult to find out who the client is."

"And this factory employs a total of 150,000 people, and there are 80,000 people who have access to the factory's production task system."

"If we want to check them one by one, the manpower and material resources required cannot be completed in a short time."

“Always give it a try.”

Memo Four:

"On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, I changed the angle of investigation and started looking for the original photos used to make casts of the characters."

"Finally, the deleted photos were found in the recycle bin of the factory system, and the data was restored after exporting them."

"It turns out that the client provided a total of four headshot photos from different angles, including front, left, right, and bottom-up photos."

When She Zhuyin saw this, she asked, "Where are those photos?"

Huo Yushen understood what She Zhuyin meant, and immediately displayed the four photos that had been deleted by the royal factory but restored by him on the video call interface.

He said: "From the perspective of shooting, these photos were not taken openly, but were taken secretly."

She Zhuyin was moved and said: "...Someone has been following your sister for a long time and took these photos? Why?"

Huo Yushen also felt that the more he investigated, the more doubts he had.

He now has no idea what kind of environment his sister grew up in, and why she is secretly observed and coveted by so many people.

Huo Yushen said: "This is one aspect, and there is another aspect."

"Do you still remember, the first time we found out where my sister was, it was when we found out that she had been kidnapped by a judge organization."

She Zhuyin nodded heavily: "We asked Mr. Hu to predict your sister's whereabouts many years ago, but Mr. Hu never had any inspiration. Until the end of last year, a divination suddenly revealed the coordinates of your sister. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a member of the Judge Organization. The place."

Huo Yushen said: "Yes, I also sent people to rescue them immediately. Unfortunately... someone blocked them for ten minutes. Otherwise, the clues would not have been lost."

She Zhuyin said solemnly: "In just these ten minutes, someone took your sister away and then killed everyone present, including the boys and girls who were kidnapped together."

Huo Yushen released another video, saying: "The judge organized the kidnapping of these twenty-four boys and girls for their three-year human sacrifice."

"I obtained an internal document of the Judge Organization, as well as the scene of the human sacrifice they held every three years. To be precise, this is the video of the human sacrifice three years ago. You can take a look."

The video plays quickly.

On the virtual display screen in front of him, a large building with a three-dimensional lotus flower appeared in front of him.

From a distance, it looks like the unique chaotic green lotus blooming at the beginning of the world.

This three-dimensional lotus building is divided into three floors.

On the topmost layer are four unfolded petals, with a long column standing in the middle of the petals. The top of the column looks like a delicately carved and realistic lotus pod.

The second layer is eight unfolded petals.

The bottom layer is the third layer, with twelve unfolded petals.

The carvings of these petals are so lifelike that even the tiny traces of dewdrops on the petals seem to be revealed.

There is also a human-shaped groove on each petal, which is just right for a person to lie down.

The kidnapped boys and girls were all put on silver robes, their hair was let down, their hands were tied to their chests, and they were put into human-shaped grooves one by one.

Then, a woman wearing a golden robe and a bird mask emerged from the huge column in the middle of the lotus building, standing right in the middle of the lotus pods at the top.

The woman held a scepter inlaid with gold and jade in one hand and a huge quill in the other.

When the sun's rays were almost perpendicular to the top of the column, the woman raised her staff and shouted: "The sacrifice begins!"

Suddenly, a stem sprouted out of the human-shaped grooves on the petals, just like the stem of a lotus leaf.

The top of the stalk is very sharp, like a spear.

The tip directly penetrated the throats of those boys and girls.

Twenty-four strings of bright red blood pillars, like blood arrows, suddenly rose from the throats of those people, like bloody fountains.

Liquid also began to seep out from underneath the human-shaped groove, merging with the blood.

Before long, the blood of those people gradually drained away, and there was more and more liquid in the groove, almost filling the human-shaped groove.

From the surface, no one can be seen in each groove, only pools of blood are rippling...

When She Zhuyin saw this scene, her face turned livid: "...No wonder the Judge Organization is classified as a cult!"

The thought of the child suffering the same fate if she had not been rescued made her furious.

She closed her eyes. There seemed to be a short circuit in the bright living room. After a few beeps, the lights went out and it became extremely dark inside and outside the room.

Huo Yushen paused the screen. When She Zhuyin opened her eyes and the lights in the room returned to their original state, She Zhuyin said calmly: "...continue."

Huo Yushen started playing again.

Next, the woman wearing a golden robe and a bird mask pressed a button.

The blood contained in the twenty-four human-shaped grooves was quickly absorbed to the top of the lotus along the blood grooves dug in advance.

The top expanded rapidly and the center sank, forming a round basin shape with a diameter of one meter and a height of about half a meter.

The blood mixed with other liquids quickly filled the lotus-shaped round basin.

The woman wearing a golden robe and a mask took off her robe in full view of everyone.

She was not wearing any clothes underneath, and it could be seen that her figure was slender and fit, like the undulating mountains, but it was covered with abstract lines of various colors, so much so that it looked like she was wearing a tights.

When the woman immersed her whole body into the blood pool, the abstract lines drawn on her body immediately had a chemical reaction with the blood pool.

Bubbles emerged from the blood pool one by one, and then rose into the sky.

The liquid in the blood pool gradually decreased, and the woman changed her posture, kneeling in the blood pool, clasping her hands together and raising them to the sky.

Then, she began to recite some words that outsiders could not understand, like some kind of scripture or some kind of mantra.

As she chanted, those bloody bubbles rose more and more.

The sunny sky just now gradually turned gray.

When those blood-colored bubbles rose to the sky, they melted into the white clouds.

Soon, those white clouds were soaked in blood-colored bubbles and merged together to form a larger dark cloud.

There was a faint bloody light in the dark clouds, rolling in the sky and appearing directly above the altar, blocking all the sunlight.

The woman became even more excited. She stood up, still keeping her hands clasped together, and began to twist her body toward the sky.

Her long hair dripped with blood mist and swayed with her body.

The white three-dimensional lotus building is also sprinkled with little blood stains, as if a bloody lotus has bloomed.

The sky also became darker, and the bloody dark cloud gradually grew larger and larger, seemingly boundless, as if it wanted to cover the entire sky.

Under the lotus altar, countless believers of the Judge Organization were kneeling.

Each of them is wearing a mask, and their true appearance cannot be seen at all.

But at this moment, they were all kneeling there with great piety, reciting certain scriptures or incantations along with the naked woman.

By the last minute, everyone's voice became hysterical, roaring like crazy.

This is the second update, a big chapter, including additional updates for April monthly passes of 2100 and 2400.

There will be an update at 05:00 in the evening.

Remind everyone of recommended votes on Monday!
