Chapter 264 New Work Content
On September 9, Zhao Yuxi sent Gu Tingzhu to the station.
Before getting in the car, Gu Tingzhou stroked her wrist with his fingertips. This simple action prevented him from exerting his full strength for a long time. The line left on her wrist was more laborious than drawing dozens of drawings.
"I have given you the right to use the blueprint. You can make anyone feel miserable." Gu Tingzhou didn't finish his sentence, "I hope you will never feel miserable." This sentence was too unreal and impossible to come true. It was too against his will to say it, so he chose not to say it.
Neither the blueprint nor she was in his asymptotic domain. To cross this distance and let the directional force take effect, he had to pay a sufficient price. He was very glad that the directional force was unique enough. If he still had the spiral force, no matter how much he paid, as long as Zhao Yuxi was not in his asymptotic domain, she would not be able to use the spiral force.
"I receive your strength. Thank you."
"You're welcome. We are husband and wife now. Our strength is the same, not yours or mine."
The two are indeed a married couple who have obtained a marriage certificate, but there is still some distance between them.
Zhao Yuxi is always hesitant and always leaves a way out for herself: What if she makes the wrong choice? As long as she has the "regret pill" in her hand, she is not afraid of making the wrong choice. But what if the regret pill is gone?
Zhao Yuxi didn't dare to take that step.
Gu Tingzhou didn't force him to do anything. He was waiting, giving in his own way, and expressing his love for Zhao Yuxi in his own way: If you and I were not husband and wife, I would never give you the right to use the blueprint. On the one hand, I am afraid that you will use this ability incorrectly. The blueprint is very large and can be effective hundreds of times, and can hurt hundreds of people. On the other hand, I can't bear to give up this power. It is not cost-effective to give away power that can be effective hundreds of times for free. However, because you and I are husband and wife, I believe you will think of me and be more cautious before using the ability. I gave you the blueprint not for reward or compensation, but because I am willing to do so.
"Gu Tingzhu, goodbye. I'll come to Yuqing City to see you this weekend."
Zhao Yuxi watched the high-speed train go away, then she looked down at her wrist. The scratch disappeared, but Gu Tingzhou's power remained in her hand. She had a small piece of blueprint on her body, and the "weight" of this blueprint in her heart increased greatly. She was sure that this piece of paper was very useful and could even help her turn defeat into victory in the battle with the ancients.
Gu Tingzhu began to doze off immediately after getting on the high-speed train. It was the first time for him to use his directional force so recklessly, and it was also the first time for him to share his directional force with others. He was very lucky to find someone to share his power with.
On the afternoon when Gu Tingzhu left Guyuan City, Zhao Yuxi was still on vacation. She also bought a piece of white paper, spread the remaining drawings on the table, and traced them stroke by stroke according to the traces he left.
During this process, Zhao Yuxi's asymptotic domain was constantly expanding, and her synaesthesia continued to take effect. Her eyes looked through the paper, and she could see the tiny arcs in the lines. He must have spent a lot of time and effort to depict these arcs.
As the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Yuxi looked at two almost identical pictures and suddenly wondered, what's the point of doing this? Maybe it's meaningless. However, some things don't necessarily have to be done for the sake of meaning.
When Gu Tingzhou comes back, will he be surprised if I show him the picture I drew?
On September 9, Zhao Yuxi resumed work. In the past ten days, she has not received or sent any emails.
On September 9, she specifically told her assistants not to send her emails unless it was something urgent before she notified them. The assistants were very dedicated. These days, no matter what happened, big or small, as long as they could still suppress it, they did not disturb their dean. After Zhao Yuxi entered the working state, she found that these people seemed to have a lot of backlogs. She spent a whole day reading those emails and stayed up late to reply to them. She planned to have all the assistants come to Guyuan City to meet with her tomorrow. Some important things should be explained in person to avoid omissions.
On September 9, a branch director and 16 assistants of the branch directors gathered in another villa owned by Zhao Yuxi. After solving the problems of these assistants one by one, Zhao Yuxi asked Yu Xinyi, the assistant in charge of Guyuan City, to stay alone.
"Yu Xinyi, has there been any new prisons built in the city recently?" Zhao Yuxi was eager to build a prison to lock up all the ordinary people who got in his way. Maybe there would be no more arson and bombings in the city, but the people who were targeted were still there. They would not die in the explosion, but they would become depressed in prison.
Yu Xinyi's plan did not include the construction of a new prison. After the memorial service, many powerful people in Guyuan City fled to other places. Some of them spent a lot of money to seek help from the ancients or even the medievals, while those who did not get help tried every means to join the ancients, which led to more and more escapees and more and more people leaving the city. The population decreased, and the existing prisons were completely sufficient.
"No." Yu Xinyi couldn't guess what the dean meant. Did he want her to build more prisons or not build any? She was unsure, so she didn't express her opinion. But there was one good thing. When the dean asked her "yes or no", she only needed to answer "yes" or "no".
"Find a remote place and build a large prison. All the rooms in the prison should be separated by glass. You choose the address of the prison first, and I will send you the blueprint in a few days. After the prison is built, you catch those people who escaped a few days ago. Just catch some of them." Zhao Yuxi can't draw blueprints of buildings, but she can find such people through her secretary.
"Yes." Both tasks assigned by the dean were not difficult. Building a prison was a simple matter. With some money from the institute and some time, it could probably be completed before the Chinese New Year. The second thing was to catch the escaped people. If all of them were caught, it would be very difficult. But if only some of them were caught, it would be easy. After all, some teams were so powerful that the leaders and followers could be traced.
"Is there a key high school nearby? Take me to have a look."
Yu Xinyi's expression changed immediately. She was very busy every day, and she didn't know where there was a key high school nearby.
"Forget it. I shouldn't ask you this. You're not a student. Transfer a group of people from the public and have them go with us to the school."
Yu Xinyi didn't understand which people the dean wanted to mobilize. The dean couldn't have mobilized people for security. One ancient plus one medieval could go almost anywhere in the city without any obstacles. Did the dean ask her to mobilize people to increase her momentum? It didn't seem necessary. The dean didn't need these illusory momentum.
"Dean, which people do you need me to mobilize?"
"You can imagine it without asking me. We need to mobilize two to three thousand people to surround the school. I'll give you twenty minutes to do this. If you haven't finished this in twenty minutes, someone else will go to the school with me, and you won't have to go."
Yu Xinyi roughly guessed who the dean wanted to mobilize.
"Do we need them to change their clothes?"
"No need to change, just have them show up in that outfit."
