Chapter 147 - Heaven and Hell in Dior 08
Su Xiangying has been waiting for a long time, and she is still wearing that conspicuous dress. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info crowd, blonde hair and animal ears are very conspicuous, as the appearance shows, she hardly goes out, which can be seen from her inconvenient clothes and spotless gown. Anyone would think she was a great monster and stay away from her, and it was this appearance that gave her a lot of capital to survive.
Half-demons, to put it bluntly, are half-breeds, the descendants of monsters and humans, whether they are among humans or monsters, they are not welcomed. Like many vampires who pursue an "aristocratic life", half-demons are sandwiched between humans and monsters, whether it is thousands of years ago or now, the number of half-demons is extremely rare. Needless to say, there are very few youkai who are willing to spend the next short life with a short-lived human, and there are also very few humans who are willing to accept the 'notorious' youkai.
Although many people are attracted to the appearance of the yokai, that kind of affection is not worth mentioning to the yokai. In their long lives, they have long been tired of the affection and love of human 'fast food', and for them, it is at most a 'pastime'.
In their long lives, monsters will always fall in love with whom, who they rely on, and who they hope to protect, and then in the blink of an eye, they are shocked to find that only a handful of loess is left with them.
"Good afternoon, Venerable Dio Connor, fate bows down before you," Seeing Dior coming, Su Xiang lifted the corner of his skirt and performed a standard European aristocratic salute, and then chuckled and said, "How is it, is this how it feels?"
"It's funny, you should be much older than I thought," Dior sneered unceremoniously, "I know a lot of old monsters who are ten times older than me now, don't worry about saying it, I'll allow it." ”
"Then, I'll make a puzzle a little," Su Xiang smiled with a face, "Multiply my age by 2, add 10, and then divide by 2, subtract the number of my age, and multiply the number you get by itself, and then divide by 5, and the final result is 5." So, how old am I?"
"Can we go right away?" Dior looked at her with retarded eyes.
"Please don't worry, 'Lord Dior', we still have two more yet. ”
The two of you? Dio frowned, will Yujian also go along? Just right, take this opportunity to see what kind of person she is. If Amami Sword's previous statement of 'I'll leave after I'm done with my own business' is just to get Dio to agree to her request, then Dio will have to re-analyze her. The information she has received so far is not enough to see her weaknesses, and the little girl next to her, Dio, is also very concerned.
"Ah, say Cao Cao Cao arrived. Su Xiang blinked and looked behind Dior.
"So, where do you want us to go with you?" Yumi Jian stood very casually, and the little girl still followed her closely, timidly hugging her waist.
Seeing the little girl's movements, Dio couldn't help but think of Sakuya. Even though they were two completely different people, she turned her face away and snorted coldly.
"Then, before leaving, you might as well come and guess Yujian Jian, 'Master Dior' asked my age just now," Su Xiang hasn't given up his 'plan' yet, "Multiply my age by 2, add 10, and then divide by 2, subtract the number of my age, and get the number..."
"No matter what your age is, the result of performing the same arithmetic is the same, are you kidding me?" Yumi Jian snorted coldly, "Is there anything else?"
"Ahla, I really can't fool you, this kind of simple mathematical fraud," Su Xiang held his forehead, thought about it carefully, and then nodded, "Please come with me." ”
They are really conspicuous walking on the streets of the Ming Empire, blonde monsters, people with strange hair colors, Dior has become the most normal one among them.
As New Year's Day approaches, the anger on the streets is also very lively, and Nanjing, as the capital of the Ming Empire, has a population of more than one million. Although the basic facilities are not fully equipped due to the rapid development of technology, this is only temporary, and the towering skyscrapers and viaducts under construction can be seen in the distance. Walking through the quaint streets, Dior has the illusion of being in another world. Perhaps it won't be long before this quaint street will be demolished and turned into high-rise buildings and factories, just like any other city in the world.
"It's really nostalgic, maybe in another ten years, this place will become an ordinary cityscape," Su Xiang said suddenly, and then winked at Dior slyly, "Are you thinking so?"
This guy... Couldn't you be able to read minds? Dio looked at her expressionlessly and turned his head without saying a word. Impossible, if she really had this ability, it would be impossible for her to not see through her own drama at that time, and she would not even lose that gamble, and there was no need to take pains to play some psychological tricks to maintain her position in the casino. Rather than reading minds, Dior felt that the other possibility was higher.
"That's the front. Su Xiang looked at the magnificent 'city gate' in the distance.
That means that if you go further, you will officially enter the "Nanjing City". Before the Ming Dynasty, several dynasties chose to have their capital here, and the founding emperor of the Ming Empire spent more than 20 years expanding the city of Nanjing to its present size. It is bordered by the Yangtze River in the north and the Qinhuai River in the south. This outermost outer city wall, after several renovations, was originally intended to be demolished after Zhu Yuanfang succeeded to the throne, but after a series of trade-offs, Zhu Yuanfang abandoned this idea, and this magnificent city wall was preserved.
"I don't know if Zhu Yuanfang's dog emperor ran out to drink," Dior sneered and said, "There is such an emperor, I don't know if it is the luck or misfortune of the Ming Empire." ”
"If there is an emperor who can make the country endure and prosper, then any citizen should feel honored," Su Xiang shook his head slightly, "It's a pity that not everyone understands this." Different people write history books, and there will be two different histories, so there are "Emperor Xin" and "King Xu". ”
"Does that matter?" Dior pouted disdainfully, "at least for now, what you're saying has nothing to do with what you're asking me to do, so let's talk about your request first." ”
"Impatient Dio Connor, as a 'monster', you have to learn to be patient," Su Xiang picked up his feather coat and spun around in a circle, "The only thing we need for our 'monster' is this one. ”
"Hey, I'm here to have fun," Dior shrugged, "and I'm going to have three days before I get down to business, and if it's still boring in three days' time, then I'm sorry." I've sacrificed my precious rest time to be here with you, and you'd better not let me down. ”
While saying this, Dio had been secretly observing Yujian on the side. But the girl with strange hair never said a word, but her eyes kept looking around, as if she was on guard against something.
"There is still a long way to go, although it is better to take a car, but I think this is a good opportunity to get to know each other," Su Xiang smiled lightly, "There are not many opportunities to meet 'companions', so I decided to ask Dior what are you hiding from me." ”
"Yes, I have a lot to hide from you," Dio frowned impatiently, "Actually, I'm an English nobleman, but I don't mean to show off, don't worry, at least I'll treat you as human beings." ”
"It's really a condescending tone. For "monsters", most people are just food on the same level. ”
"Another thing, in fact, I like women more than men, and I heard that the empire is more open in this regard, so I came here to find out if there are suitable candidates, and I also learned Chinese specifically for this purpose. Dio rambled casually.
"That's a terrible reason. ”
"Why, as a young monster, this is a natural thought, and..."
Dio suddenly laughed weirdly, she slowly turned her face, and the oozing smile made Su Xiang's face stiffen.
"I'm very interested in monsters like the Demon Kitsune, and maybe I can take the opportunity to meet the legendary youkai. I hope the so-called "demon fox" is not in vain, but I am very much looking forward to it. ”
"Do you want to bet against the real 'Demon Fox'?" Su Xiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Dio only lost to me not long ago, and even me, a half-demon, can't beat me, so you want to challenge the highest difficulty?" Then let me remind you a little, unlike half-people like me, those real 'monsters' have absolutely advantageous abilities in these 'children's games'." ”
"Ha, do you mean mind reading?" Dior scoffed, "In this world where victory is heaven and defeat is hell, if you can really read minds, it will become boring." ”
Human consciousness is breathtakingly complex, and it is precisely because of its complexity that it is extremely fragile, and in the next hundred years, human science can only analyze the composition of human consciousness in the form of conjectures and summaries. The subconscious, psychology, brain structure, and even other parts of the body can affect people's thinking, and many human actions can be completed without thinking at all, even if the "demon fox" can really read minds, Dior is not afraid.
"Okay, what will happen to the outcome of this game?" Dior put his hands in his pockets, which contained a photo she had brought from Wang Zhutou's information.
It was the same picture that took the picture of 'Nagisa', who should have died a long time ago.
Come on... Let me see what you can do.
