Ning Tian, ​​because of this sudden earthquake, the company sent a notice to all employees, announcing that it would be on a day off and that it would not deduct wages.

Ning Tian’s employees were simply shocked. For a moment, even the fear of the earthquake occurred was thrown behind, and they all went online to show off, which made many social animals online cry.

"Oh my God, what kind of fairy company is this?"

"Ning Tian is so conscientious! He is worthy of being the top-ranked company in the country."

"I am really envious. I was on the bus when the earthquake happened just now. I called and asked the team leader to ask for a day off. The team leader actually told me that the earthquake bureau said that it was a small earthquake that would not affect the safety of the building and that the team would go to work normally. Don't make a fuss. I only gave a half hour late grace. Damn I am now riding a shared bicycle and running towards the company!"

"...This is a high school second-year-old dog who was taken back by the teacher to continue class after hiding from the earthquake. Crystal tears flowed down my tender face."

"You Beijingers finally understand the pain of our coastal people... As a citizen of the sea, we entered the sea some time ago, inexplicably heavy rains and off-season typhoons. The weather was so scary... Even the trees on the road that the two could not hold together were uprooted. Everyone was rumored that there was a dragon at that time, and they were so scared that they dared not go out. As a result, hehehehe, the boss had to hold an umbrella and climb over the ruins to work."

"Did you see the prediction of the doomsday of foreign wizards? I asked my boss for leave with this. The boss gently told me not to be afraid. I will pay my salary before the doomsday. And I won't deduct my bonus if I don't go to work that day, but before that I want to take leave and be lazy, I will never be able to do so [smile]."

"So what should I do if the end of the world really comes?"

"Please rest assured that our social animals do not have the qualifications to be afraid. It is absolutely impossible to go to work honestly and then go grab salt after get off work."

"It's heartbreaking! Lao Tie! My family hasn't finished eating the salt that has stolen in 12 years!"

In every corner of the capital, countless ordinary people continued to return to their normal life trajectory under the command of their bosses or teachers. Ning Tian’s employees enjoyed their vacation more happily under these miserable comparisons. No one knew that the Ning Tian office building, which had cleared all human employees, quietly poured in a large number of special people.

A remote video conference is being held on the huge screen on the top floor of Ningtian.

"This earthquake came very suddenly. The Earthquake Bureau did not monitor any warning before this. Although the capital is in the earthquake zone, it has to be said that the situation is still a bit strange."

"In addition to the capital, different forms of extreme disasters have also appeared in other provinces, but the degree of these disasters is relatively mild, not as serious as that of the capital, nor are they as easy to be noticed as earthquakes, and have not caused panic among local citizens for the time being."

"At the same time this morning's earthquake, the capitals of countries x and y also felt a slight tremor. In order to avoid triggering associations, we decided to temporarily block the news from the public."

The faces located everywhere in the video are all solemn. In the office, Ning Tian’s auspicious beasts are also silent. After hearing this, Xia Shouren said in a daze: “The capitals of various countries? The kings of every dynasty and every generation are the center of their own country’s vitality. Why are they shocked here?”

The leader of a department on the side asked tentatively: "Is it possible that it was the same as Qinglong's time, what caused it to appear in the world?"

Shuo Zong in front of him sat in the seat with expressionless face, and his fingers were playing with a purple-gold pendant unconsciously: "There are only a few things that can cause earthquakes. Are there any rumors on the Internet at present?"

The leader sighed: "No."

It's funny. Although everyone is strictly guarding the people for social stability to avoid the public from knowing this, most of the time, they have to rely on the people's wise eyes to know where there are police incidents that need to be dealt with.

After all, accidents occur in this world every moment, and no one can instantly speculate whether those accidents occur naturally or are affected by abnormal phenomena. In this regard, the information spread by the people has undoubtedly become a very direct evidence. Nowadays, technology is developed and the population is large. Even the remote forests can receive Internet signals. Most ordinary people do not only scream and escape when they see phenomena beyond their own cognition. They take photos and share WeChat Moments forums and Weibo, which has led to many creatures that have appeared in the past that have at least caused quite bad natural disasters in recent years. Before they even cause trouble, they have been caught by Ning Tian.

For example, the Qinglong, currently being raised in the Beijing Forest Zoo, was not photographed. Before the dragon shadow was photographed, local governments originally treated the flood as normal and bad weather. For example, Fei Yi, who was caught some time ago, has not been released for thousands of years. If someone on the Internet said that he encountered a very deformed giant python when he was climbing in Wuhua, it would be difficult for Ning Tian's Ruishou to find its name from the corner of his memory. These ancient creatures that are out of touch with modernity would never have died before they were caught. What caused their tears to tears was just a few light clicks when humans surf the Internet in their spare time.

However, this earthquake, the people did not reveal any strange phenomena before. In the densely populated capital, the probability of a strange beast appearing but not being photographed is probably smaller than that of an ordinary person who won hundreds of lottery games in a row.

Shuo Zong ticks his fingers on a tablet on the table and calls out a set of data. It is the statistical table of the number of strange beasts caught by Ning Tianrui beasts in the past five years and broadcasts them to the pictures on the screen in the conference room. From five years ago to last year, the statistical curve has been increasing slightly fluctuating, but from last year to this year, this statistical line suddenly soared to an unprecedented high at almost a vertical angle.

Shuo Zong looked at the curve and slowly said, "Why do you think this is?"

The leader of the world looked confused.

Bi Fang, who is here, saw such intuitive data for the first time, said in a daze: "No wonder... Since this year, the company has suddenly become so busy. I don't know if it's an illusion, it seems that even the spiritual energy is more abundant than in previous years. This is too strange."

He turned his eyes to the side. At the end of the conference table, a huge glass water tank, and the green dragon that had not yet transformed was also picked up. At this time, his head was exposed to the water surface, and his front paws were lying on the wall of the water tank, looking at the curtain in confusion.

This uncultured dragon looked at it for a long time and couldn't understand anything. When he met Bi Fang's eyes, he felt a little angry: "Why do you think I'm doing? I've never seen an illiterate protected animal!"

Bi Fang asked it in a naughty way: "You are transforming this year, right?"

Qinglong: "Ann?"

Bi Fang: "You have been practicing for thousands of years. Why did you choose to transform into dragons sooner or later, but you chose to transform into dragons this year?"

Qinglong probably never thought about this problem. He stared at the boss with his mental retardation and thought hard: "I...I don't know. I have been staying in the water. Later, I felt that my spiritual energy was getting less and less, and my cultivation progress was slow, so I took a nap. As a while ago, I suddenly felt a huge spiritual energy appear. After I absorbed the spiritual energy, I found that I had enough to transform into a dragon."

Human leader: "Real energy?"

Bi Fang explained: "Aura is a necessary item for the cultivation of all things, but unfortunately it disappeared more than a hundred years ago. Otherwise, the world would not have entered the Dharma-Ending Age. For so many years, even a serious monk would not be able to find it."

The leader was excited when he heard this: "So, the spiritual energy disappeared more than a hundred years ago and now it suddenly appears again. This means that the end of the Dharma-Ending Age, can humans evolve again?"

What does practice represent? A stronger body, a longer life span, and more breakthroughs in unknown fields are self-evident for humans who can only stay in the world for a short century.

The leader was happy and his emotions returned to normal. He unexpectedly found that none of the auspicious beasts in Ningtian in the entire conference room showed joy.

He was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that what I said?"

The head Shuozong looked at him and pulled the corners of his mouth lightly: "It's possible, but you probably don't know there is another possibility."

The leader asked blankly: "What's the possibility?"

Shuo Zong turned his eyes to the pendant in his hand, and his fingertips slowly passed by the purple-gold gem on his head.

"I can't even control the last bit of spiritual energy, and the way of heaven... can't hold on."

***************

Shuo Zong stood by the window and looked at his phone. A hot video was playing on his phone. The video was filmed with a mess of stampede accident due to an earthquake shelter. The background sound was full of wailings and crying, and someone shouted: "Help! They have shed a lot of blood! Where is the ambulance? Why haven't you arrived yet!"

The person on the side replied in a panic: "It was a series of car accidents outside, and the elevated rail was blocked. The ambulance staff got out of the car and were rushing towards this side with a stretcher. It will take a while before they can get there!"

The slow rescue caused by traffic failure is helpless. The people in the picture couldn't help but look desperate when they heard the answer, but at this moment, a scream suddenly broke out in the scene, the video shook, and then the reason was captured. It turned out that two people suddenly appeared on the scene. After squatting down to check the injuries of the wounded, they carried them out and ran out.

Shuo Zong clicked the pause and pointed to Wei Xi's handsome and solemn face on the screen. He ran very fast, and his thin body carried the wounded man who was several laps larger than him. His coat was soaked in blood, but he did not mean to throw the injured man from beginning to end. He carried the other person until he met the ambulance staff who came to pick him up. Then he let go and turned around and started to carry the others.

The blogger who posted the video was obviously almost stunned, and the entire text was full of exclamation marks—

[Hard work dog: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The forwarded people sighed—

【God, this god-like physical strength!】

[The legs are weak and the legs are weak. Even if you look handsome, your strength is still high! The second you appear, you came on the colorful auspicious clouds! Mom, I'm in love!]

[Look at his coat! Although it is a bit big, it is obviously from the xx brand and is extremely expensive. This is still a rich and lust!]

[Ahhh I only saw him saving more than ten people from beginning to end. It’s so kind!]

[I unilaterally announced that my brother and I are married, and I will get all his information within ten seconds!]

Shuo Zong raised his eyebrows slightly and replied to the man with a sentence [Dream].

That netizen [??????]

Shuo Zong snorted coldly, turned around and saw Xia Shouren coming over, showing a bitter smile at him: "Old beast, why are you still in the mood to play with your phone here?"

Shuozong did not answer, and Xia Shouren did not take it seriously. He walked to him and looked at the window. The sunshine in the capital was just right, and the brief earthquake did not disrupt the lives of the residents in the city. The business district under Ning Tian Tower was still as prosperous and busy as every day in the past.

Xia Shouren looked at the figures who were laughing together on the street and smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I don't know anything is really happy, what do you think?"

Shuo Zong said calmly: "Maybe."

Xia Shouren was quiet for a while, suddenly reached out and took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket, lit a slight trembling fingertips and put it in his mouth: "After the Heavenly Dao collapsed a hundred years ago, there is only one left now. If we really can't hold on, what should we do?"

Shuo Zong: "What else can I do besides practicing?"

Xia Shouren: "You said it lightly. What was the consequence of the last collapse? The stars fell, the Heavenly Court was destroyed, and the dragon clan was chopped to a loss. This time we go to practice, no matter whether it can be repaired properly, what if we don't come back?"

Shuo Zong's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes fell far away outside the window, probably in the direction of the Wei family.

Xia Shouren took a deep breath of cigarette, and suddenly his eyes turned red and cursed: "Fuck!"

"I am just such a little believer, so busy that I'm so busy that I can't even feel happy about the way of heaven..."

He was muttering a lot of things in the field, afraid that he didn't even know what he was saying, so Shuo Zong ignored it and let him vent his anger. Xia Shouren squatted on the ground and disappeared without a sound.

Shuo Zong: "Pinched the cigarette."

Xia Shouren smiled bitterly and pushed the cigarette to the ground to extinguish it, rubbed her face and smiled bitterly: "If you don't raise your salary, you won't smoke it. You're really not a thing."

Shuozong seemed to think for a while: "You can smoke."

Xia Shouren: “…”

Shuo Zong: "It's not okay to raise your salary."

Xia Shouren: “…”

Xia Shouren rolled his eyes, and no sadness in spring or autumn was gone, and said viciously: "The way of heaven is almost gone, why are you saving so much money? Putting it in a coffin?!"

After thinking about it, I felt comforted again: "But forget it, you are a little more generous than before. At least I know that I want to send someone a red envelope. I forgive you for the red envelope."

The auspicious beasts who Ning Tian grabbed the red envelope were as dreamy as him. Xia Shouren even directly took the screenshot of the red envelope interface into a mobile screensaver, hoping to bring some fortune. Everyone planned to gather to eat Haidilao to celebrate. Thinking of this, Xia Shouren felt beautiful again: "Hey, how many people can get money from you? Even the Emperor of Heaven can't do something. Suddenly, I feel that it's worth not to come back this time. You said at least one hundred of the big red envelopes? So our friendship is simply supreme to you!"

Shuo Zong: "..."

Shuo Zong: "Xia Shouren, go and help me with something."

Xia Shouren: "Even if you open your mouth."

Shuo Zong: "Prepare a document for me."

Xia Shouren: "What's the content?"

Shuo Zong: "Share transfer."

Xia Shouren: “????”

Shuo Zong: "Ning Tian's free transfer of equity, as well as gift documents for other property under my name."

Xia Shouren's knees softened: "...Old beast, are you scared crazy by the way of heaven?!"
