Chapter 18 - beginning
Meng Xuan returned home and had dinner with his parents.
It seems that my father received a call from the manager again. He is likely to continue his business trip tomorrow, and the time of this business trip is not expected to be too short.
Mother kept complaining on the side, saying that the day could not pass, and that a good weekend could not be stopped, but in fact, even herself, on Monday, she had to go on a business trip to run insurance sales, leaving Meng Xuan at home alone.
Meng Xuan knew that they actually wanted to relax a bit, but this was not realistic. Back then, the house was in installments, and now they have to pay off high mortgages every month. Grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents are still alive. How much does it cost to support and honor the elderly? Still want it.
Although my sister works part-time outside, the basic tuition and living expenses are not small. Meng Xuan will soon go to college, and the daily expenses have always been high. Both father and mother are face-saving people, and they always hope that they You can live a decent life, and don’t be laughed at by other relatives and friends.
For example, Meng Dong has been planning to buy a new car for the family in installments after her sister graduated in two years.
Therefore, Liu Wanru and Meng Dongqi did not dare to stop for a moment.
The two elders always shouted that when their sisters Meng Qian and Meng Xuan had both graduated and worked, they would be able to relax and enjoy their happiness, but how likely is this?
Meng Xuan has also experienced the memories of his awakened past life. After the child graduates, he also has to consider the child’s dowry, dowry, house, car…
It’s not easy for the child to start a family and to retire at home. At that time, he may have to bring grandchildren to the child…
Meng Xuan couldn’t tell if this busy life was happiness or sadness, but there was no doubt that this was not the life he wanted in his life.
It seems that it is appropriate to change the situation at home, at least so that the parents are no longer so busy.
Meng Xuan thought quietly while digging into the rice.
On Sunday morning, Meng Xuan recorded the relevant characters of the second ceremony he remembered last night on paper and brought it to the Shahe Municipal Library, ready to continue the translation work.
Saying hello to Rona, who was staying in the library as always, Meng Xuan found several tomes that he needed, and quickly immersed himself in the translation work.
He has become more and more familiar with Nelson’s words, and the efficiency of memory has become higher and higher. In just one night, Meng Xuan has recorded the content of one-third of the paper, and after the sensory enhancement of the abnormal sensation ceremony , he finally saw the appearance of the red dot monster before he died.
It was a humanoid creature, walking on all fours, with four sharp arthropods like crab legs growing on its back, black-purple skin, covered with dense granulation, and blood-red eyes. Walking like a cat, it doesn’t make any sound at all.
However, Meng Xuan only saw the appearance of the monster clearly. After being strengthened by the strange sensation ritual, he still has no resistance. The speed of the monster is too fast. Even if he has a sense of crisis, his neural response speed is not enough. so that he can avoid the attack of the opponent’s sharp arthropods.
However, Meng Xuan feels that he has made progress. At least he can move his body a little in response and choose his own method of death. He doesn’t have to be beheaded or opened every time. Too many scars can still make people very embarrassed. For example, recently, he felt that Liu Yuran looked at him a little strangely, which probably had something to do with it.
Meng Xuan’s translation progressed more and more rapidly. By about the afternoon, the content of this part of the characters had been translated.
At the same time, he also got the corresponding name of the second twisted secret medicine ceremony:
Blood Source!
Although the specific effect of this ritual has not been parsed due to the lack of recorded characters, Meng Xuan guessed that this ritual is different from the passive enhancement of anomalies, and the effect brought by the blood-origin ritual is different from the meaning of the effectively translated characters. It is likely to be under his subjective control!
This made Meng Xuan full of expectations for the complete content of the ceremony.
Maybe after three rituals, he will have the opportunity to damage or even kill the red-eyed monster, and go to other laboratories in the experimental base to find out.
Dududu!
His broken-button cell phone vibrated.
“Where are you? We’re going to call two counts this afternoon, haven’t you forgotten? It’s almost four o’clock, and the patrons are still waiting.”
On the other end of the phone came Liu Yuran’s complaining voice.
“I didn’t forget, you wait, I’ll go right over.”
Meng Xuan replied, and hung up at Liu Yuran’s urging.
Looking at the tome book on the table, although he really wanted to study for a while, but last time he had completely emptied his purse in order to prepare the materials for the ceremony, and judging from the material map of the Blood Origin Ceremony at a glance, The value of the materials involved this time is probably far from comparable to the Sensational Ceremony, so he has to find a way to make more money. For this reason, he can only put down the learning progress appropriately.
Poverty hindered his learning.
But in the end, this method is still too slow to get money.
At six o’clock in the afternoon, Meng Xuan worked hard for more than two hours, and finally put two accounts with good equipment into the Earl rank. Under the admiration of the two stupid and rich kids, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Meng Xuan walked out of the Internet cafe with a reward of 500 yuan.
The money is still too slow…
Meng Xuan sighed, it was getting dark quickly in winter, night had fallen, and pedestrians were in a hurry. It was meal time, and the roadside restaurant was the most crowded time.
The sounds of cars, conversations, and shouts of shopkeepers are mixed with the yellow streetlights, rendering a noisy night scene.
Went to a nearby sports store and bought a wooden knife of good quality. Before finding a suitable training place, Meng Xuan decided to be the old man in the park for a while.
Holding the long wooden knife wrapped in newspaper, and dealing with his mother who called to urge him to go home for dinner, Meng Xuan slowly walked towards the Jinhui community.
Passing through an alley, dim hanging street lamps swayed in the wind, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.
From the upstairs on the left hand side, there are questions from men and sharp roars from women, sometimes accompanied by the sound of fragile items and steel products falling to the ground.
From the building on the right, there was the rustling of mahjong, the chattering of women, and the rough chatter and laughter of men guessing wine and boxing.
Everything looks harmonious.
Tread!
Suddenly, Meng Xuan stopped.
A sense of strangeness and danger flooded his heart.
“Strange feeling…”
Meng Xuan murmured in a low voice, the cold hairs all over his body stood upside down, and his palm gently held the handle of the wooden knife wrapped in the shape of a stick.
The dim street lights reflected several figures, three of which appeared at the entrance of the alley, and three at the end of the alley. They were wearing long black trench coats and peaked caps, which completely covered their faces. in the shadows.
