Volume 1: The Beginning of the Calamity, Chapter 9: The Conspiracy Begins
"Brother!!" Yan Huang pounced on him with a crying face.
"Don't be angry anymore, it's all my fault, it's all me, it's all me, me, me, I, I'm relying on?!Brother, when did you have a girlfriend!?" Seeing the girl next to Amaterasu who had never met, Yan Huang jumped up in shock, brother has only been here for a few days, and life is so fulfilling?
", cousin, I'll pick it up at the end of the day. Amaterasu casually rambled on lies he didn't believe in himself, thinking about other problems he might encounter.
"That, hello. Timi unexpectedly took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, hello!!Brother, your cousin is so cute!! I want to be your brother-in-law, do you agree?" Yan Huang did not hide his inner thoughts, he usually had this big grinning and straightforward character. He also didn't have the slightest doubt about Amaterasu's lies, and he believed that his good brother wouldn't cheat on him.
Amaterasu sees a figure approaching in the distance, it is the day and night and the night king. The two of them carried a man-sized bag of rice, panting forward. Both of them had bad faces, probably because the sacks they were carrying were too heavy, and Amaterasu ran forward to offer help, but the two politely refused.
"Who's the girl who is following you, your cousin?" the Night King gestured to Tim.
"Uh, yes. Let's not talk about that, what are you moving, where are you moving? It looks heavy, and you really don't need help?"
"No, no, it's really fine. Went first. The two lifted the sack over their shoulders and quickened their pace.
"They're fine, they could have been thrown to the ground and dragged along. Amaterasu looked at the two people in the distance and muttered to himself.
"I understand!" Yan Huang suddenly rushed out from behind him, "This is exercise, it is cultivation! Improve physical function by carrying weights, no wonder it usually hurts so much to beat people, it turns out that there are people who are practicing." ”
But if it's exercise, why do they carry it together......
The white flame of the fire is very special. Yongyue, who was recruited, was not burned to the point that there were no bones left, and maintained a relatively intact body, but the remains were difficult to call a corpse, it was more like an 'object'. A doll that has no soul or life, but it is realistic and seems to come to life at any time. The Night King did not intend to abandon him there, and although he had killed many, many people in the event of death, he was still a former brother. Both the Night King and Day and Night were hovering on the brink of death, pale and weak, but they still made a sack and carried it to the cemetery step by step for burial.
There was an inexplicable girl next to Amaterasu, and both of them were suspicious of this, but there were not many women in the Red Lotus Pavilion originally, so it should be a good thing to add one, so they didn't ask more. Maybe we can have a party when we go back? The pavilion hadn't been lively for a long time, but they should go to the hospital bed as soon as possible. A nerve trauma or a ruptured blood vessel may not seem like a big problem, but people are often just as negligent as they are to die.
As soon as Amaterasu pushed the door open, he saw the black pipe waving his bandaged hand to greet him.
"You...... Are you alright?" Amaterasu suddenly couldn't think of the right words to deal with the current scene. The word 'okay' always sounds strange.
"Well, it's not a big deal, I'll be fully recovered in a few weeks. The black pipe replied with a smile, although it was only a corroded hand, but the nerves of the hand were the most, and it was also very troublesome to raise the injury, not to mention that he suffered from the corrosion of flesh and blood, if he could not get timely treatment, then he was afraid that he would not be able to have these hands.
The black pipe looked a little surprised when he saw Themy, but fortunately he seemed to understand the situation and didn't ask too much. Along the way, Amaterasu was really a little annoyed by the question. Although he can choose not to answer, the questioner can always understand the situation through the word of mouth of the insider, but in the process of transmitting information, it is inevitable that there will be an accident of three people becoming tigers. The black pipe stood up and beckoned, motioning for Amaterasu to come with him. They climbed up the stairs until they reached the rooftop.
Dark clouds obscured the sun, and Amaterasu didn't like the sun very much, because he was used to being alone in the dark, reading books and not turning on the lights, playing on the computer without turning on the lights, and then he became short-sighted. As a child, he was afraid of the dark, and he didn't even dare to approach the blackened extension cords between the cabinet and the wall. Because there is always a dark gaze there, staring ahead of the light. The name Shen Shenyang seems to be derived from the fact that when he was born, the dark clouds sprinkled with drizzle happened to disperse, and the sunlight hidden behind it poured into puddles on the ground, and the newborn coincided with the rain and sunrise. He thought that he should also shine like the sun on the darkness, and not fear them. If something really peeks at them in the dark world behind the door, then he's going to be friends with them.
Now he is not afraid of the dark, but he is actually afraid of the sun. The light would prick his skin very uncomfortably and prevent him from opening his eyes. It is easier to accept the darkness than to accept the light, because darkness is the origin of the entire universe, and its existence is natural and everywhere.
As soon as Amaterasu reached the rooftop, the sunlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the irritable scenery around him instantly calmed down. The black pipes were still seriously considering whether it would be appropriate to tell Amaterasu what he had learned. Why did he only tell Amaterasu and not tell the more reliable and powerful day and night? He didn't dare to think about it. Since he went on that mission with Amaterasu, he thought this person was interesting, so he should tell him. What he does next is up to him.
"For now, I'm just telling you one person, just because the two of us went on that mission. What I'm going to do next, I won't interfere too much. ”
The black pipe spoke very seriously, and Amaterasu listened very seriously. Although he was easily distracted and others spoke to him in and out of his left ear, he tried hard to listen this time.
The dragon whale they defeated seemed to be a corpse for a long time, and the empire did something suspicious: they did nothing in the face of the alien creature body that could provide a lot of information, but shredded and cremated like garbage. Hellpipe endured the pain and took the little whale cell left between his fingernails for testing, and found that the thing had been dead for hundreds of years.
"What does this mean? Dead creatures can't be resurrected on their own, so the frequent appearance of alien creatures is likely artificial. The only way to do this is to take away all their corpses. ”
"You mean ......"
The empire is conducting research in this area, creating monsters, let's kill them, bring the corpses back and reforge them, the monsters in recent years have become more and more difficult, and it also proves that the monsters they have created are getting stronger and stronger. But what is their purpose? to create an invincible army of monsters to wipe out us monster hunters? I'm afraid that's not all, their ambitions are bigger than we think.
But this ...... It's just speculation, we don't have evidence yet.
Because the evidence is in their hands, we have to find evidence to verify our suspicions. In addition, there is one more thing. Do you know why I came here on this Dragon King Whale mission? Because I have experience, I also received the task of crusading against Dragon King Whale a few years ago, and that time, we were inexperienced and suffered heavy casualties. I'll never forget what it was like to create such a hellish beast.
“...... No way. Amaterasu seemed to realize what the black pipe was going to say next.
"The dragon king whale on this hunt is the same one as the one last time. ”
Amaterasu is panicking right now. What does this mean? He couldn't say, he just thought about it in horror. Resurrect the corpse for killing, and where does the consciousness of the corpse come from? The truth is like the sun that is shrouded in dark clouds at the moment, you have no way to dig it out and come out of it, and you have no ability to remove the dense dark clouds. The gentle cold wind sent chills down his spine, and it was summer vacation, right?
Clarinet didn't plan to ask Amaterasu to do anything, he understood that Amaterasu wanted to find out the truth about the beginning, so he told the truth he could provide. It's like sharing secrets between good friends.
"It's up to you to decide what you're going to do next, but whatever you decide, I'll always be there when you need me, and we're all as one. He said softly.
Amaterasu also nodded lightly and walked downstairs with heavy steps.
Surrounded by a curious crowd, Tami responded to all sorts of questions with a puzzled expression. Yan Huang was very active on the side and used the means of chasing ducks to drive the crowd for her, but it didn't seem to work. Amaterasu has social phobia, and the crowd is even more terrifying than demons and monsters in his eyes, so he gives Temi a color and quietly slips out the front door. This is left to Yan Huang and Xiaoying, who is coming, and then he is going to look for Day and Night, and after thinking about it, he plans to tell them the news he just learned.
Temi understood what Amaterasu meant. If she feels embarrassed, she can ignore the group of people and just run away by herself, but this seems to be rude. However, even if she wanted to get a satisfactory response from so many people at the same time, she couldn't, and her world had always been only A.A.Asu, so she began to feel overwhelmed when faced with a group of people.
In fact, she doesn't have to do anything deliberately, everyone won't mind, after all, she is a pleasing girl, and she is still very cute when she is at a loss, of course, it would be better to be able to say a word to herself...... Almost everyone thinks the same thing.
There is also a word of absurdity at a loss, what is the eldest brother doing? My sister doesn't want it? This group of people can't stop them when they are enthusiastic, and the screams and cheers drown out his shouts.
What's even more terrifying is that there are still people coming outside, and the small chamber is about to be blocked by crowds, so he begins to think about pulling Temi to escape upstairs for refuge.
The electric switch was pulled down, and the entire conference room lost all light in an instant. Before anyone knew what was happening, she slammed the door shut, and her ethereal singing echoed through the dark room.
Xiaoying came out of the shower and saw the news that Amakasu gave her. So I reluctantly dressed up and prepared to go out to pick up people. But I don't know what the excitement is, the people on the street are rushing in the same direction, and when she ran over to join in the fun, the door was already full of dense and curious people, and the group of people who are usually not so active in the party made Xiaoying a little angry, so she ......
The people dispersed.
"What a disaster. Timi smiled softly, as if she was a little relieved, "Are you Sister Xiaoying?" ”
Unpretentious language, soft voice. The sincerity shown seems to be able to hit the heart.
Xiaoying subconsciously regarded it as some kind of reason, which can make everyone open their hearts and be honest with each other. If used on the battlefield, she would be the deadliest spy or killer, outstanding and unattainable. So much so that Xiaoying, who is quite accomplished in psychology, can't get rid of it...... No, it's the reluctance to get rid of it.
But why did Amaterasu, who didn't know anything, suddenly bring such a powerful cousin over? Is this really his cousin?
Xiaoying was suspicious for a moment, and finally agreed. Although I don't know for what purpose she keeps releasing this reason, staying by this girl's side, the brain can indeed give up thinking with peace of mind.
So the two soon left happily holding hands like best friends.
He and those people fell for Xiaoying's hint and went back to their respective homes.
