Chapter 21: The Demon Seed Appears
After Cook successfully adopted Dai Lisa, the distance between the two suddenly shortened a lot, so that Dai Lisa was like an octopus all night, wrapped tightly around Cook's body with both hands and feet, making Cook feel like he was restrained all over, not to mention that there was also a hylando who had awakened the attributes of an idiot, so it wasn't too annoying!
Alas...... Thinking back to last night's events, he couldn't help but feel more confused about his future, which was really sad.
"Now I can only hurry up and finish the matter here, and return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Cook learned the hard way, and he didn't want to stay in this place anymore, in this hotel for a minute or a second.
Inexplicably, Cook looked at the pile of materials in front of him, and he was not irritated, but felt that it was his only hope of escaping from this demon cave.
What else can I do?! Work! Work has a way out! Cook relentlessly and plunged headlong into the massive pile of data.
Sure enough, it's still reassuring here......
On the other side, Highlander had already contacted John and told him about the Demon Seed. When John heard the word demon seed, his tightly knit brows did not relax for a long time, when did the city's defense line become so fragile, and he didn't even notice that the demon seed entered the city.
John's expression became more and more ugly, he really didn't understand, what the guards at the city wall were eating, and they couldn't even find the demon seed, this was not an ordinary dereliction of duty, it was simply messing around!
Can't help it, John slapped his hand heavily on the desk, his straight chest rose and fell violently at this time, as if he wanted to say something, but he only felt like a fish in his throat, unable to speak for a long time, after a long time, John let out a long sigh, looked out the window and shook his head.
"I'll contact the guards at the city walls and ask them to investigate who has been in and out of the city for the past month. Eventually, John calmed down.
Hailanduo frowned, hesitated, and said, "Is this okay, this is not a small project." ”
"That's what they should do, they can't even find out about the demon seed entering the city, I really want to fire them immediately!" John's voice had gradually become cold, obviously very angry about the matter.
Highlander can't say anything about it, indeed, the entry of the demon seed into the city can be regarded as a big event, once the demon seed in the city cannot be eliminated quickly in time, then the citizens of the city are likely to suffer a large number of casualties in a short period of time.
After all, the demon seed is more powerful and brutal than the one with the ability, even if it is only the lower demon seed, it requires the cooperation of several first-order abilities to subdue it, not to mention the high-level demon seed, which is a vicious beast that even the second-order ability can hardly resist.
Even if he is the best of the second-order abilities, Highlander can't guarantee that he will be able to defeat every high-ranking demon seed.
Anyway, I can only hope that the demon seed in the city does not have a high-ranking demon seed.
Knock knock!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office, and then I saw an executive officer rushing into the office in a hurry, and said in a panic and anxiously: "Dean, Jared, they have already held a speech in the southeast city. ”
Hearing this, the depths of Highlando's and John's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, did Jared finally start acting again?
……
At the Holy Dragon Statue Square in the southeast urban area, it was already densely packed with people, and I saw a bloated bald man, who was standing under the huge Holy Dragon sculpture at this time, shouting loudly with passion, which caused all kinds of appeals from the citizens on the scene.
"Isn't it, is that really cannibalism?"
"It's true, I saw the corpses in that place with my own eyes, what a case of corpse mutilation, it was simply bitten alive by wild beasts. ”
"Even so, I saw it at the time, and it was definitely not a case of corpse mutilation. ”
The discussion in the crowd came and went, among which the most talked about was the matter of beasts eating people, many citizens who were not present felt incredulous, but those who had seen it with their own eyes that day seemed to be a lot in this crowd, and all kinds of echoing voices made them more and more suspicious of the truth of the corpse crushing case.
"Then why are they hiding it?" Soon, someone questioned this.
"You stupid, how can such a thing really be reported. ”
"That is, if the whole city knew that there were wild beasts eating people, it would not be a big mess. ”
"Have these beasts been caught?"
"I guess no, I haven't seen any movement in Laiyi Courtyard, I guess I just didn't catch it. ”
As soon as this remark came out, it also aroused the echo of many people, but when it comes to this, Laiyi Yuan is really strange, what is it that has been silent?
The more people think about it, the more they don't understand, so is it possible to really ignore them ordinary citizens?
While everyone was talking, the bald man on the stage coughed at the crowd as if to clear his throat, and then nodded slightly.
Some people in the audience saw these small actions of the bald man, looked at each other, nodded, and began to talk about their dissatisfaction with the people around them like a street gangster, and even fabricated rumors.
"Cut, if you want me to say that you still don't have this information, you still don't know why Lai Yiyuan didn't come forward. ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd all looked sideways slightly, looked at the person who spoke, and asked, "Then what do you know?"
The man immediately nodded, with a look of disgrief, and said: "I heard that there are a few big people from the headquarters of the Lai Yi Academy, as if they want to promote John to the past, John has been busy currying favor with those people recently, how can he care about this." ”
"No, Dean John is that kind of person?"
"Cut, it's not this kind of person or what kind of person, I don't know the face of the person, but I don't know the heart. ”
Everyone was smacking, obviously surprised by the news.
Seeing that everyone was beginning to waver, the man leaned over again and said, "Have you heard of that huge rose in the central city, it is the handiwork of one of the big men." ”
To say that this person's ability to spread rumors is indeed extraordinary, and even Hylando's masterpiece can be used by him, the key is that this is really not wrong.
"Yes, yes, I remembered when you said that, and I saw it with my own eyes. ”
"So, John, this guy is really doing this stuff. ”
"Tut-tut, thanks to him, he has been acting like a good person for so many years. ”
The sighs and smacking of the crowd came and went, as if they had seen through the grimace that John had been hiding for many years, and for a while, they actually spit on John again and again.
Hanlaus on the stage looked at this scene in the audience with satisfaction, the power of money is really great, and he, as a businessman, deeply understands this.
In this way, I will be able to meet Nana. Raising his head, a look of worry flashed in Hanlaus's eyes, and according to what Jared said, as long as today's speech was successful, he would allow the father and daughter to come and meet.
I'll be able to meet Nana soon. Thinking of this, Hanlaus's eyes actually shed crystal tears, and the pain and sadness in his heart reached an unprecedented peak at this time, and it was released at once.
Whew!
But at this moment, there was a painful roar of a beast in the distance, which suddenly calmed the crowd that was still talking about it unusually quietly.
Is there really a beast? Everyone thought of a question in unison, and a strong sense of fear surged uncontrollably in their hearts, and their bodies trembled as if they were suppressed by some tight restraints.
Even Hanlaus on the stage was suddenly frightened by the roar of the beast and came back to his senses, staring closely at the direction from which the sound came, and layers of cold sweat broke out uncontrollably.
In this way, the entire Holy Dragon Statue Square suddenly became eerily quiet, and everyone stared at the roar as if they were enchanted.
"It's up to you, a bunch of people who don't want to die!" finally someone reacted, trembling and shouting at the throat, and then quickly squeezed through the crowd and ran away.
This run seemed to have a chain effect, the crowd suddenly became chaotic and noisy, and everyone began to crowd outwards as if they were desperate, even Hanlaus on the stage was no exception, jolting and trembling legs, but also burrowed into the crowd, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Hey, look, that beast is subdued!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled excitedly, pointing in one direction and shouting excitedly. The chaotic crowd began to look at them, and then their pupils shrank, and they all shouted as the person from before them shouted.
They had to marvel because there they saw a team of public security officers rushing to the scene and then carrying the carcass of a huge beast out of an alleyway.
The crowd gradually quieted down again, and after a long time, someone finally blurted out: "The beast has been solved?"
"I guess so......" someone replied with a hard swallow.
Everyone was stunned to watch the public security forces carry away the corpse of the beast, and after a long time, someone couldn't hold back the excitement and roared, this sound seemed to arouse the fear and anxiety in everyone's hearts, and for a while, the cheers were endless.
And somewhere in the shadows, a teenager looked at the cheering crowd in the square, a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "I see, but this is not enough." ”
Behind him, a huge scarlet blood pupil suddenly opened, and roared fiercely at the sky, and a huge black shadow streaked across the sky, and then fell heavily on the ground and fell in the crowd.
Click!
Before everyone could react, they only heard a click, and the giant beast lowered its head and directly bit the head of a citizen, and the gurgling blood slowly flowed down the neck of that person, gradually staining the ground with blood.
