Chapter 27: The Heart of the Abyss
Yan Qi was seen through the little trick by him, but he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and continued.
"As for what you just said, why can't those people withstand this power, even if they are very low-level hunters, their strength is many, much greater than that of humans, you plug the USB port into the charging port of your mobile phone and plug it in?"
"Then why are you..."Xiahou Ding was still puzzled, but this time he learned to be obedient and didn't say much.
"What's wrong with me? Didn't you just see that Lao Tzu's heart was about to fail?" Yan Qi glanced at this fox-faced man angrily, to be honest, he didn't know why he had a good impression of Xiahou Ding, he always felt that this thing was a natural villain.
"Uh... But your body is functioning normally... There's nothing out of the ordinary..."
That's because there is something else in his body that works in place of the heart. Bai Ran, who was beside him, suddenly interjected.
The man with glasses and Xia Houding looked at her incredulously.
"Heart of the Abyss. Yan Qi said the word, and then he pointed to the location of his heart.
"As you can see, my heart is just a layer of skin, and what it encloses is an abyssal heart. Seeing the stunned looks of the two, Yan Qi continued.
"To put it simply, it's a... A strange stone, which can provide a very powerful life force to man, by this stone, I can bear a very small part of her power, and the person who planted this stone for me is the monster you call it. ”
With that, he looked at Bai Ran, who turned his head and smiled at him.
"You're welcome. ”
Forehead... Yan Qi was embarrassed, this didn't seem to be thanking her, why did this girl become more and more unable to understand the atmosphere.
The man with glasses cupped his eyes and said with some meaning.
"I see. But then he felt that something was wrong and continued to ask.
"Then this thing, it can't be without a price, right... What is the price to him?"
Yan Qi didn't answer immediately, he stared at the man with glasses, and then said with a smile.
"Take it out, my little black bead. ”
The clothes are handed over to them to be washed and then returned to themselves, and all their belongings will naturally be taken away by them.
Xiahou Ding snorted a little unwillingly, and then brought a small box from behind him.
Opening the suitcase, there was a purple jade bead the size of a pigeon's egg, and next to it was another fist-sized black ball, the ball was black and shiny, and it could be seen that there was a black aura surging in the ball.
This was the bead that Yan Qi had taken out of the monster's body.
There's also a worn-out wallet, and then some... Invoices for taxis, invoices for meals, and two lottery tickets.
"Alas. Yan Qi sighed and pinched the color scroll. "It's expired, I don't know if I won. ”
Then he picked up the black jade bead and shook it at the two of them, and only after confirming that they both saw the bead clearly did he speak.
"Look at it. ”
Then he lifted up his shirt and placed the black beads on his chest, at the place of his heart
Something unbelievable happened, the beads seemed to melt, little by little, penetrated into his skin, covering the skin of his chest like a liquid, and in a few moments, it completely melted in.
"Is this!?" The man with glasses stood up and looked at Yan Qi incredulously.
"This thing, called the Demon Core, is the source of life for those monsters, but for me. He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"To me, this thing is a life-sustaining pill. ”
Continuing life...
The man with glasses seemed to have guessed something.
"That's right, as you just said, this Abyss Heart has given me a physique that can withstand strength, but it has made my life extremely short, and if I don't replenish my energy through the Demon Core in time, my heart will be depleted again... Of course, absorbing these magic cores will also give me more power, how to put it... This is an endless cycle, I continue to replenish my strength through the demon core, but the demon core will make my body container bigger and bigger, and in the long run, I will still die, because one day, the demon core will not be able to satisfy the abyss heart in my body. ”
Hearing this, Bai Ran seemed to be very helpless not to look over, not daring to look at Yan Qi's body, after all, all of this was brought to him by himself, no matter what the reason...
"Then you hunt those monsters just to replenish the inside of you... The heart? these things... Can you satisfy that strange heart of yours now?"
Yan Qi seemed to have expected the man with glasses to ask this question, he nodded towards Bai Ran, who immediately understood, and then took out the small medicine jar that Chang Ziming had given to Yan Qi in the tea house before.
"This thing... It was made by a friend who was proficient in thaumaturgy, and I don't know how he did it, but these pills can replenish the energy needed in my body and will not expand my power limit again. ”
Xia Houding took the medicine bottle and looked at it carefully, it looked like it was an extremely ordinary black granule medicine... If you can analyze its composition.
"Ahem. The man with glasses coughed a few words, and Xiahou Ding immediately understood, and returned the medicine bottle to Bai Ran very reluctantly.
"So, what about the little purple bead?" the man looked at the other item in the box, a purple jade bead the size of a pigeon's egg.
"This..."He received Yuzhu into the inner pocket of his coat, and then put his other hand into the inner pocket of his coat as well.
When his right hand was withdrawn again, there was the black pistol in his hand that he had shot the human tentacle before.
"Is this!?" the man with glasses widened his eyes as he stared straight at the gun in his hand.
"You can understand that bead as... Space storage and other things, as for this gun?" Yan Qi didn't wait for the man with glasses to react, and immediately retracted the gun into the inner pocket of his clothes.
"I don't have anything to say about this shot for the time being. ”
Such a gun was actually taken out by him like magic, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
It's magical.
Space Storage...
The man with glasses subconsciously glanced at the small black waist bag on Bai Ran's waist again.
"Could it be. It's also..."
"Then I have basically explained all my affairs to you, completely and without reservation. After Yan Qi finished speaking, he sat back on the bed, looking at the two of them with anticipation.
"Hmm... We understand, Yan Qi, you would like to know the truth about your family's death and disappearance. There was a hint of hesitation on the glasses man's face, this was the first time he had shown such an expression in the long time he had talked to Yan Qi.
"But it's a pity... I can only tell you that what happened ten years ago has nothing to do with the organization..."
Hearing this, Yan Qi was stunned, he had always felt that this organization, which had a wonderful connection with the other world, would definitely be involved in the tragedy in his family.
Even if they weren't the masterminds, they must be in the know, but...
"In the tragedy ten years ago, even the organization had no warning, no clues and no direction to trace, and to be honest, the organization also wanted to know the truth about that incident. ”
Yan Qi's eyes gradually dimmed.
Yes, the organization didn't know before, and I wanted to track down the organization with wishful thinking, but now I can finally talk directly to the people of the organization, and they tell you that you want to inquire about it, and we don't know anything at all, and you are looking in the wrong direction.
This sense of loss made him feel inexplicably irritable.
"But. The voice of the man with glasses made Yan Qi raise his head again, but this word, generally means, that things will take a turn.
"I probably know who knows better. ”
Yan Qi stood up abruptly and stared at the man with glasses.
"Who?!" he spat out a word excitedly.
The man with glasses seemed to be very hesitant, but after seeing Yan Qi's firm eyes, he had to sigh helplessly, and then said.
"Fang Family"
It's the Fang family again, and this is the second time I've heard about this family today.
As for the Fang family, Yan Qi only knew that he had heard about some news media and Weibo popularity, and he only knew that this was a very large family, even surpassing the Xue family in Beicheng.
The Fang family's side clan is also widely distributed, but the head of the family has extraordinary appeal, the current head of the Fang family, Fang Yan, just passed his 80th birthday this year, but I am very low-key, just held a banquet within the family, and there was no hype of activities.
"What the hell is going on with the Fang family?" Yan Qi asked his doubts.
The man with glasses didn't answer, he looked at Xiahou Ding, and shook his head at Xiahou Ding, who wanted to speak, it seemed that he had no right to tell Yan Qi and Pan about this question.
"In short, the Fang family should be of some help to you at the moment, you can try to get in touch with them. With that, he pulled out a golden card out of nowhere.
"Haven't they already invited you to the annual family auction, it's a good opportunity. ”
The card in the glasses man's hand is the auction invitation card that Xue Hongde handed over to him, good guy, just now he was only concerned about retrieving the treasure, but he forgot about this little thing.
"Okay, in that case..."Yan Qi took the card from the glasses man's hand.
"Then I... Gone?" he asked tentatively.
The glasses man and Xiahou Ding didn't have any special reactions, Yan Qi felt very strange, they caught themselves, it was really just to understand their own strength?
But since the other party has no intention of stopping it, then of course he will not continue to stay, after all, this is the territory of the organization, if the other party has a whim, and he feels that this threat is too great, he must get rid of it immediately, although Yan Qi is not afraid, but it is still too troublesome.
So Yan Qi hurriedly beckoned Bai Ran and walked towards the door.
"Yan Qi. ”
The man with glasses suddenly stopped Yan Qi, who had already stepped out of the door with half a foot.
"Something is eyeing you, pay attention to yourself. ”
"Speaking of which. Yan Qi suddenly turned his head and looked directly into the glasses man's gaze.
"I'm telling you so much, just so that when I act in the future, I hope you don't come to disturb at will, otherwise, I will be very troubled, after all, I really don't want to be involved in your series of conspiracies, okay?"
The man with glasses didn't answer, just nodded faintly.
"Okay, deal. ”
With that, Yan Qi left the room with Bai Ran.
At this time, only the glasses man and Xia Houding were left in the room.
When the footsteps outside the house faded away, Xia Houding said.
"Yan Zi'an, you let him go behind the organization's back, is it worth it?"
The man known as Yan Zi'an was expressionless, but the eyes behind the glasses seemed to have some changes.
"And... You also told him about the Fang family, do you know... Those two members of the Fang family are now high-level personnel of the organization, and you are like this..."
"I am responsible for all the consequences. With that, Yan Zi'an got up, picked up the coffee cup, and walked towards the door.
"Is it really worth it, who the hell is he, and you actually protect him like this. Xiahou Ding said incredulously and followed behind Yan Zi'an.
"It's my business, let's go, those two big guys, aren't they coming soon, go meet them, fortunately, we don't have nothing to gain. A hint of coldness flashed in Yan Zi'an's eyes.
With that, the two of them left the room together and walked towards the other side of the hallway.
