Chapter 30: It's All Coming
Lu Wu looked behind Chen Hong suspiciously: "Who is this guy following you?"
Standing opposite him was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, who was none other than Chen Hong, known as the "Hydra", behind whom stood Wang Chong and the Messiah. The Messiah still wears long loose sleeves, which can only hide her mechanical arms and make her look like an ordinary pretty little girl. The wounds on her neck that were fixed by stagnant water were different from those of Chen Hong and Wang Chong, there was no large area of carrion, and her skin still remained delicate and smooth.
This point once made Chen Hong think it was incredible, but the jackal water itself is already an incredible thing, and as a professor of physiology and the inventor of jackal water, Chen Hong himself could not describe the specific process of the jackal water's effect. As for Wang Chong's explanation of "knotting between the molecular chains of organic structure to fix the organization", it is nonsense, and it is just to deceive junior high school students. In fact, the jackal's water, like the xenomorph, is inexplicable by existing science and technology. When I was studying in the former Soviet Union, those scientists came to my home and often used words like "mutation", "induction" and "radiation" when talking about xenomorphs, but these were only conjectures, and none of the famous physicists, chemists, and physiologists could explain the formation mechanism of xenomorphs in concrete terms. On the other hand, if the mechanism of xenomorphism could be explained by science, they would not have been living in the shadows as they are now.
What humans are afraid of has always been something that they cannot explain and grasp.
Therefore, Chen Hong could only simply attribute the absence of carrion to the Messiah's wounds, and did not think much about itβthis is a good thing, isn't it? Even if there is, it can only be carried by a boy, a boy can not be handsome or chic, as long as he bravely carries those overturned and collapsed things, he is still a man who stands up to the sky. But girls are different, girls love beauty, don't they, girls should always be beautiful, no matter how unfortunate fate is for her.
From this point of view, both Wang Chong and the Messiah are good. Although at present, Wang Chong seems to be a waste of firewood...... After practicing martial arts for a week, he didn't see any results, and when he went to the practice room just now, Wang Chonggang was knocked to the ground by a punch from the Messiah. He stood there and watched with interest for a while, but he didn't expect Wang Chong to show him and explain to him how to be beaten and a hundred ways to be beaten...... He felt a little unbearable, so he interrupted them to bring them to the negotiations. In fact, it is useless to bring them here, the Messiah can't speak, Wang Chong...... Although Lu Wu on the other side can become a tiger, the tiger is just a national protected animal, and he will probably be scared when he sees a mummy, right?
"Pharaoh. Chen Hong smiled, "It's my student." β
Wang Chong carefully observed the feminine-looking long-haired man in front of him through two small holes, it was the first time he had seen a man dressed like this. In the past, when I was in school, my classmates either shaved their gourd heads, or had a big lump of bangs, in short, they could probably be seen at a glance that they were the kind of hairstyles and looks of junior high school students. It turns out that you can have such a hairstyle after graduating from junior high school or high school, and it will be unforgettable at a glance...... It may be that touching the top of Uncle Chen's barren head all day long has made him ignore a lot of cruel facts, such as the fact that it is really a shameful thing to not have a nose and a zipper mouth, and it is impossible to get rid of such a fact no matter how you think about it.
Wang Chong began to hate the fire again, and he lowered his bandaged head. Now he can no longer face the world with his true face, all he strives is to wrap himself in bandages, and call it performance art, like a mask, and no one is allowed to see the ugliness and tragedy behind the mask.
So how important is a human face? This question only makes sense if it is answered by a person who has no face.
"Pharaoh?" Lu Wu was not surprised. It seems that the other party likes to take nicknames, what hydra, what pharaoh's, presumably this girl on the side is the goddess of life. He wasn't talking nonsense casually, the expressionless Messiah seemed to him to have a unique temperament, like ...... Life is the same.
"Huh?" Wang Chong thought he was calling him.
Lu Wu didn't expect that his tone was biased towards questioning, so that the other party thought he was shouting at him and answered, which caused him to have to pick up now, but he didn't know what to answer, in order to avoid embarrassment, he had to think hard, and thought of "Cool name!"
Wang Chong thought that the other party would ridicule and even ridicule him, but he didn't expect to hear the other party's praise, and suddenly burst into tears, "Thank you, thank you." β
Lu Wu smiled at him. He didn't think much about it, like why he was wrapped in a bandage, why he had to sew a zipper on his mouth, etc., anyway, he had seen too many strange things, this was a strange world, wasn't it?
"You're the only one?" Chen Hong was a little uneasy. If only one person comes, it often means that the other party refuses to cooperate.
Lu Wu smiled. He tapped his hand on the table, and the wall behind him suddenly slowly dissipated, and there were still five people sitting inside.
That wall turned out to be just an illusion!
Chen Hong quickly swept over the five people. In the center is an old man, with gray hair but few wrinkles on his face, and a pair of eyes that are full of the vitality of a young man. On the left hand side of the old man is a charming girl, the girl's nose is like jade, the lips are like cinnabar, and the eyes are flowing under the delicate eyebrows like willow leaves, which makes people feel like a goddess. On the girl's left is a fierce-looking man, a full half body taller than the girl, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his muscles seem to explode in his vest. To the right of the old man stood a quiet-looking girl, with her silver-gray hair tied into braids and draped casually over her shoulders. To the girl's right is a good-looking teenager with a white baseball cap in his shaggy hair.
"Except for the two members who went out, all the people in Beijing came. Lu Wu smiled, "We have given enough sincerity." β
"Thank you very much. Chen Hong smiled, "In fact, if you want to talk about cooperation, you don't have to ...... everything."
"We value this collaboration. The old man spoke.
"Why?" Chen Hong wondered.
"I can see something. The old man said, "It would be the right choice to work with you." β
This statement is not a lie. Just now, the old man observed the energy attributes of Chen Hong and the three of them behind the wall, and was surprised to find that the energy corresponding to the girl standing behind Chen Hong was completely transparent, even so, that energy still emitted an incomparably dazzling light, like a sun made of crystal. As for the middle-aged man who was sitting, that is, Chen Hong, it was much inferior in comparison, and to the old man's surprise, there was a faint blue flowing in Chen Hong's energy, and that blue was the blue of the sea, deep and vast. On the contrary, the person standing next to the girl who was wrapped in bandages all over his body seemed to be nothing special, and he could not observe the energy fluctuations at all, just like an ordinary person.
Still, the girl and even the middle-aged man herself are enough for them to continue working together. Moreover, the other party's purpose is to find the manipulator behind the locust tree people, which is itself part of their purpose to maintain social stability and eliminate xenomorphs. That's why he sent a signal to Lu Wu and agreed to cooperate. The illusion of the wall is controlled by Yao Ji, and if he feels that it is not worth cooperating, Yao Ji does not have to open the illusion wall, and the other party will not know that they are on the scene.
Chen Hong was not suspicious, although he wanted to know what the old man meant by "seeing some things", but it was obviously not good to continue asking at this time. Since the last time he met Lu Wu, he had secretly investigated the Chinese Society and knew that it was an organization that eliminated xenomorphs under the banner of maintaining social stability. Chen Hong didn't know what the purpose of the Chinese Cultural Association was, and whether it was really to eliminate dangerous alien species in order to maintain social stability, but in terms of eliminating alien species, they still had some common interests. Because he also suspected that the person named Bing Locust who assassinated Ah Yi was a xenomorph. And what Lu Wu told him, the organization called the Arctic Ocean behind it......
As for how Lu Wu learned about the Arctic Ocean and the ice locust, Chen Hong didn't care. All he knew was that Binghuai had controlled and assassinated Ah Yi, the young man he had saved twelve years earlier with jackal water, and had become one of the few friends he had since fled to China. For Chen Hong, this reason alone is enough for him to choose to believe and cooperate, because this is the only clue.
Lu Wu also didn't tell him that the Arctic Ocean and the ice locust were told to him by Xingtian after a drunken time. Lu Wu didn't believe that Xingtian would be drunk, he just pretended to be drunk and told this secret, and the two of them had known each other before Xingtian joined the Chinese Society, so Lu Wu tacitly understood that leak. He didn't know why Xingtian told him this secret, but as Xingtian said, the Arctic Ocean is a Japanese organization, and the Ministry of Security listed it as an S-class secret on the grounds that it "may affect Sino-Japanese relations", so Xingtian must have some compelling reason - he has always been an overly competent man, and he will never easily violate his principles as an agent.
It's like at this time when they were sitting at the negotiating table to talk about cooperation, and Xingtian had already gone to the south alone to investigate the killing of the xenomorph.
