020: Ability is the Abyss

"Lord Hyakohe, you have to think about your safety here. In the corner of the abandoned mine, Wang Kunlun complained sullenly. "It's not easy to do things with humble duties. ”

On the third day of the "matryoshka" operation, there were four days left before the day of Gaode's self-determined killing. Because the equipment was not yet in place, the "invited" cameraman and special effects artist were not enough to cooperate, and Gao De simply squatted in the pit with Wang Kunlun in the abandoned mine, which naturally made Wang Kunlun a little dissatisfied.

"Afraid I'll see your secret?" Gode stabbed him.

"Uh......" Wang Kunlun choked and said with a wry smile: "Compared with the Lord of the Hundred Households, what is my secret." ”

He fought back sharply: "Yesterday, Grandma Sun and I both pretended to be calm, but you, the Lord of the Hundred Households, seemed to be pretending to be frightened. ”

"Each other," Gao De turned back, "no matter how many ulterior secrets we have, it's a pit after all...... A comrade in a trench. It is not said that we live and die together with each other, we have to work together, so let's start by getting used to each other's existence. ”

"The city of the hundred households is unfathomable, and it is very incompatible with the age," Wang Kunlun had to relent, "But is there no problem with the marksmanship of the hundred households? ”

Gao De held a large firearm in both hands, and at first glance it looked like an automatic shotgun with a sawn short barrel, and the barrel was thicker. The magazine, which contains only eight rounds of thunder, has a slight arc and is thicker than the two AK magazines.

This is the thunder gun, Lao Gu rushed out two of them yesterday, and the other one was in Wang Kunlun's hands. Twenty millimeters is the smallest caliber of a thunderbolt, and this is indeed not a weapon that ordinary people can handle.

Gao De lifted the thunderbolt gun, which weighed almost twenty pounds, indicating that there was no pressure. "Didn't I test fire in the morning, and a single shot is fine. It's a pity that there is no live target to hit, and I don't know how this thing restrains the supernatural. ”

In fact, there is a bit of a problem, Gaode's shoulder is still hurting.

"I don't know too much, I always think it's not very reliable," Wang Kunlun didn't have much confidence, "Ordinary guns and bullets are enough to solve ordinary abilities, and if they can't be solved, they don't have much chance to use this thing." ”

"And this," Gode smacked his fist on his chest, making a muffled thud.

He had a big gun in his hand and was heavily armed. The thick terracotta steel cuirass wraps around the front and back of the chest, and the shoulders, arms, abdomen, legs, and even crotch have thinner and tougher bamboo armor, plus the bamboo steel eight-petal narrow brim helmet, mask, and neck guards, like a steel warrior. However, the mask with fangs and frosted black armor is more like an evil black warrior.

"Lord Baihu has made the humble position more and more curious," Wang Kunlun said: "I feel that your secret is not on me, unlike me, you can see it at a glance when you uncover your clothes." ”

He actually took the initiative to talk about himself, "When I was at the age of a hundred households, I was still a thug in the gang in Xiagang, and I lived an ignorant life. ”

This guy is actually a native of Hong Kong, and he is still from the grassroots?

In addition to the four cities, Zhongjing also has three ports, from north to south, they are Shanghai Port, Huanggang and Xiagang. Shanghai Port was the earliest developed and is now the shipbuilding center of Daming. Huanggang originated from the Ming Linhai Palace, and has become the base of the Ming fleet and the financial center. Xiagang is the trade center between Daming and the other three continents, and it is also the largest seaport.

Among the three ports, the Ming Dynasty's control over the lower port is the weakest, and the Jinyi Guard Patrol City and the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Military Department are just shells there, which shows how strong the local forces are. It's not that the Ming Dynasty is powerless to govern, but the flow of interests is too complicated, as long as it can receive enough finance and taxes, and the faΓ§ade is passable, the government is naturally unwilling to meddle in things.

This also made Gao De unimaginable how Wang Kunlun came to Xicheng from Xiagang and changed from an underworld thug to the general banner of Jinyiwei.

"At that time, I was very frivolous, and when I found out that I had an ability, I swelled and suffered a lot. I couldn't stay in the port and fled to Dongcheng, where I made some reputation, but I became more and more afraid, afraid that I would die on the streets one day. ”

"Six years ago, I met the previous Lord of the Hundred Households, and the Lord recruited me into the elephant training center. Originally, I just wanted to retire quietly, but I didn't expect to take on the burden of the mahout step by step, which is what I can afford? Fortunately, hundreds of adults came. ”

"Grandma Sun came earlier than me, and she has a very similar experience to me, and she has a little reputation for being in the underworld. She is also more and more afraid of the future, and she wants to live well to get here. ”

As he spoke, the corners of Wang Kunlun's mouth gradually curled, "When we came to the elephant training center, we found that most of the people here are the same as us." ”

"Innocent people don't want to come here, ordinary people can't do the work here, and it's already a tradition of mahouts to shelter people like us. I also learned from the previous hundred households, and pulled people in one by one. Chubby is like this, camels, pockmarks, and blind people all come from this way. ”

Well, the mahout not only collects the corpses of the supernatural, but also becomes a shelter for the supernatural to wash their hands.

Gao De asked, "What about the Lord of the Hundred Households who recruited you?"

It's only been six years, and even if that hundred households are promoted by rocket, at most they will be the pacification envoys of which division. When this matter is over, talking to him should be of great help to you.

"Dead ......"

Wang Kunlun lowered his head and sighed, "It is written on the file that he died of illness, but in fact, there was an accident." He was full of thoughts about letting the elephant training institute be upgraded to a thousand households, taking on some big case, and then dying, or we personally sent it to the end. ”

Gao De's heart trembled, it sounded like there was something else to say about death?

Wang Kunlun said: "In the past 100 years, the average tenure of the 100 households in the mahout has not exceeded three years, and more than half of them have died in office. ”

"Are you warning me anything?" asked Gao De at last.

"No, no, Lord Baihu has misunderstood," Wang Kunlun smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "I want to say that the previous Baihu are all superpowers, and the reasons for their accidents are all related to superabilities, and the situation of the people below is even worse." It's very unusual that those of us have survived until now. That's why I was able to raise the general flag and everyone sold me face. ”

The mahout is only responsible for the aftermath of the supernatural, and rarely conflicts with the supernatural. Listen to your argument that is more dangerous than any other department that deals with the Anomalous?

"Adults should know that the ability is the power of the devil, and this is the bottomless abyss. ”

Wang Kunlun's tone was even heavier, "We are all supernatural beings, and we all know the root of supernatural abilities. We want to live in peace and live until we are old, but we have nothing but our abilities. The Mataming is a great place for us to be useful without having to rely entirely on abilities. ”

"But...... Ability is the world's most terrible curse, and the more you try to suppress it, the stronger your desire for it becomes, and no one escapes it. ”

Thinking of the terrifying scene of "dissecting" the dark elves just now, Gao De's heart also became heavy.

Those with demonic powers cannot escape, and even if they die, their bodies are still controlled by demonic powers.

"So we don't dare to use the ability casually, and we don't dare to use it for a long time," Wang Kunlun continued, "We can only carefully grasp the scale and use it occasionally." But no one knows if the next moment will be out of control, and the demon heart will enter the spirit. ”

Wang Kunlun looked at Gao De, his gaze was deep and sincere. "Lord Hyakho, I don't know much about you, but I feel that you are a little different. Whether you have abilities or not, the lowly wants you to stay here for a long time. ”

looked at Gao De, who was holding a thunderbolt gun and wearing full-body armor, and said with a smile: "This is actually redundant, Lord Baihu is even more than I imagined...... Caution. ”

At this time, Gao De was in a daze, he thought of the "suicide" gunman, and the dark elf who "dissected" yesterday, and then thought of himself.

Could it be that the abilities you have come from demons, or even the powers of demons that you have never seen before?

"Not all the powers in this world come from demons, do they?"

Gao De mentioned the special case by luck: "For example, Her Majesty the Empress......"

And Xiaoli, her ice-like power doesn't seem to have anything to do with demons.

"Then I don't know," Wang Kunlun shook his head, "Even if you have that kind of ability, what does it have to do with us mortals? ”

Holy...... It is a more noble existence than the ancestral mountain, it is not in the Aurora Continent, in fact, no one knows where it is. Just like the overseas immortal mountain, it is just a myth and legend to mortals. The people from the Holy Mountain are connected to the nations of the four continents, and have coordinated mortals against the Chaos Demon for tens of thousands of years. It was with the help of the Holy Mountain that Taizu cleansed the chaos and created the Aurora Ming Dynasty.

"It didn't matter before, but now it does," said Gao De, "Our Empress is from the Holy Mountain, and she is the daughter of the Holy Mountain. ”

Wang Kunlun was stunned, nodded and said, "This is a big change, I hope it is a good change." ”

Yes, at least the pension must be maintained.

After some talking, although they did not explain to each other, they were no longer as unfamiliar as before, and AutoNavi arranged the work more satisfactorily. But the evil consequences also followed, Wang Kunlun was too lazy to accompany him to squat in the pit, threw his boss aside, and ran up and down by himself.

All day, he had been in the pit, and his place was a high platform in the corner of the underground space, quite private, overlooking the underground hall that led to the prison, the morgue, and the deeper part of the mine. Only he has a blaster, and this excellent position belongs to him.

In the evening, Gao De was thinking about whether to hand over the shift to someone else and go back to the mahout to solve another problem, when the intercom suddenly vibrated slightly.

"Several secret sentinels found someone approaching at the same time, and most of them had strange abilities," Wang Kunlun asked, "Do you directly block it or let it in?"

Putting it in can make some movements, and it can be used as a material for the exchange, but the preparation is not ready, and there is no enough convincing evidence left.

Gao De hesitated, he really didn't expect that just this bit of fake news could catch a big fish.

"My grass is gone!"

Wang Kunlun said eagerly: "The dark whistle has lost its target at the same time, and it is certain that the other party has a special ability, and it may go down! Lord Baihu be careful, I will come over to support!"

It's not possible to be sure, AutoNavi has seen it.
