Chapter 8: Nightmares and Conversations
After being sedated, Guo Zixiang finally calmed down, and his consciousness began to slowly sink into the deepest part of his brain, until everything around him became illusory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He began to dream.
He dreamed that he had become a mecha, but instead of operating it through the cockpit he had seen, his entire body had become a metal mecha, and he could clearly feel the violent beating of the heart and the slow flow of blood in this metallic body.
It's just that.
He stretched out his hands, but what he saw was a black streamlined mechanical arm, and he banged on his head.
He began to be afraid, would he have to spend this life in this form in the future, and couldn't help but let out an unwilling cry.
"Lolicon, you woke up, what happened, did you have a nightmare, why did you break out in so many cold sweats?"
Jieni, who had closed her eyes and rested on the side, was directly woken up by this miserable sound, and she hurried to the medical cabin.
After discovering Guo Zixiang's appearance covered in cold sweat, she pushed her body that had not yet awakened, wanting to pull the other party back to the real world.
"Ugh!"
Guo Zixiang opened his eyes abruptly and sat up directly, but unexpectedly hit a steel plate in the air.
"It hurts, you guy, it's really good to repay, I've been watching you wake up, I didn't expect you to give me such a big gift."
Caught off guard, Jieni was made two steps back by the impact, she covered her forehead and scolded Guo Zixiang.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect someone to be watching me, how is it, are you hurt?"
After a blow to the head, Guo Zixiang finally returned to normal, he found Jieni's painful appearance, hurriedly climbed out of the medical cabin, rushed to her side, wanted to reach out to touch the place where he hit, but he was afraid of adding fuel to the fire, and his face was full of anxiety.
"Okay, okay, I'm not that vulnerable, it's just a momentary stress reaction. What's wrong with you, it's clear that everything is normal with the data displayed on the instrument, but you let out miserable cries one after another. ”
As if sensing the tension in Guo Zixiang's heart, Jieni continued to massage the place where she was hit with one hand, while taking out a lollipop from her pocket and holding it in her mouth.
"How so?"
Guo Zixiang also didn't know where to start, he couldn't tell whether everything that happened before was a dream caused by too much imagination or something real.
It's just, will I really be what I dreamed I was?
He stretched out his hands, and everything went as usual.
Sure enough, it's just a dream. But that voice, that voice that has already appeared twice, what exactly is the so-called synchronization? Still, let's focus on the present.
"I think it's a nightmare, I dreamed that I became a mecha, and I made a sound like that when I was at a loss, I was really sorry to worry you."
Let's comfort this little guy first, and put other questions aside.
"Is that so, but there seems to have been a precedent before, there are heroes who dream that they have become other animals, only to wake up and find that they have really changed. You know, for our heroes, although everyone's qualifications cannot be changed, there is also such a thing as an epiphany. Maybe one day, you will actually become the mecha of your dreams. But ......"
Speaking of this, the girl with the lollipop in her mouth swiped her left hand, and her right hand grabbed something like a flashlight from the void and scanned Guo Zixiang's body for a while.
"After testing, there are still no elements of technology or magic in your body, but your physical strength has almost doubled compared to before you were unconscious. To be honest, such a growth rate is really unimaginable, and how can this situation occur when your potential has been fully exploited in the previous test? Is it really unpredictable? ”
"Hey, didn't you expect to see through it? After the previous battle, the dark dragon in my body tried to seize the perfect opportunity to break free and get out of my body, and after a desperate struggle, I finally defeated it and successfully sealed it, as a trophy, the power contained in its body was naturally absorbed by me. ”
Guo Zixiang supported his waist with both hands, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, quite a kind of momentum of the only dance in the world, but the cheap smile on his face completely destroyed the whole style.
Jieni, who had a black line on her face, knocked him to the ground with a punch.
"You give me a moderate stop, the second disease, although I don't know what the reason is, but it's not a bad thing to get stronger after all. In this case, based on the data alone, you should not be the weakest existence among all our heroes. ”
"Is it really as I expected? The so-called mortals, even if they have a low starting point, can grow faster than others as long as they continue to train and fight. So tell me, how far I'm from a C-rank hero. ”
Hearing that he was no longer at the end of the crane, Guo Zixiang's face was full of joy, and he shook Jieni's body excitedly, wanting to know how long it would take for him to achieve the set goal.
"Enough is enough, don't shake it anymore."
Jieni broke free from the clutches of the devil angrily and told the information based on the information.
"You're just two places forward, and it's only a ranking in terms of strength, and you won't be able to catch up with other people's achievements in a few years. So all in all, you're actually still at the bottom of the list. ”
Before the words fell, Guo Zixiang was shocked, squatting on the ground and drawing circles.
Seeing Guo Zixiang's frustrated appearance, Jieni also found that her words still seemed to be too shocking, and she had witnessed his growth with her own eyes. She bent down, pulled a lollipop out of her pocket, and handed it to him, who looked loveless.
"No, let's eat. In fact, if you keep improving at this level, it won't be long before you can make the cut. Besides, this mission, you encountered a beast-level disaster, although it was the adult who completed the kill in the end, but it can be regarded as you who assisted from the side, and it can be regarded as a lot of merit. In time, you'll be able to become a C-Rank hero. ”
The Lord?
Guo Zixiang's thoughts went back to a few days ago, and the silver-haired figure slowly overlapped with the girl he accidentally bumped into during the interview before, did she save me? It's just that she seemed to be saying something at that time, and she couldn't hear it at all because she had lost too much blood.
"Who is she? I seem to have had a relationship with her before. ”
Hearing Guo Zixiang's inquiry, Jieni hesitated for a moment, but soon told the other party's identity in full.
"She is the silver-haired crusader, Natsukawa known as the waning moon dancer. It is rumored that she is a descendant of Dayu of the Xia Dynasty, and after the Shang Dynasty destroyed Xia, in order to avoid implication, the surviving clansmen changed their names to Xia. Because of this, sure enough, the Xia family has passed down steadily to the present, and the heritage of the thousands of years of the big family has made her strength far superior to that of other heroes. However, I heard that she joined our organization for another purpose, and it seems that she has been tracking down someone's whereabouts, and for this reason she has traveled the world and killed many evil people. ”
"Huh?"
When Guo Zixiang heard her identity, the image of the fierce god and evil white-haired butcher who had been replenished by his brain also emerged, and then he was instantly shattered.
I really didn't expect this kind of iceberg beauty to have such a fierce nickname, which is really unresonable. It's just that she seems to be a few years younger than herself, and she has actually become an S-class hero, and sure enough, talent can't be replaced by hard work?
"But I advise you not to try to deal with her, she has always been a loner in our organization and doesn't even have a single friend, and she never cares about the lives and deaths of those around her when she completes her mission. If I hadn't rushed over this time, I'm afraid you would have died of blood loss. She is a symbol of killing and death, and wherever she goes, she will inevitably bring about the loss of life. ”
Jieni was obviously a little dissatisfied with this lone ranger who didn't pay attention to the organization, and there was a hint of resentment in her words.
Hearing the admonition in the other party's words, Guo Zixiang smiled slightly, he stroked the other party's head with his hand, and said, "Okay, I know everything, you don't want to be a mother-in-law anymore." Originally, there was a world of difference between a D-class hero like me and others, so how could I think of climbing others? Besides, with the help of all of you, I'm sure I'll be able to make rapid progress. ”
"You guy, I told you not to touch my head again. But forget it, I'll forgive you this time. ”
Seeing the tenderness on Guo Zixiang's face, Jieni did not stop his movements for the first time, but soon, she seemed to think of something and said seriously:
"This battle also fully exposed your lack of combat experience. Although this mission can be regarded as a sudden change, if you are a person with combat experience, you should have a better way to deal with it. So, after my consultation with the Vulcan, we decided that you would be sent to the Land of Bones in a week for emergency training, where someone would teach you the basics of combat. You should take a good rest this week, after all, it basically takes a while to digest for the first actual battle. ”
"The Land of Bones? What kind of place is that. Guo Zixiang was full of doubts.
"It's a cursed battlefield, and every once in a while the dead will reappear in the form of skeletons, and if you don't control their numbers, you're sure to cause panic in the ordinary world around you. That's why people have been stationed there all the time, and at the same time, it's also a paradise for D-class heroes, and many people have taken their first steps to become heroes from there. ”
"Skeletons?" Guo Zixiang made up all kinds of anime and novels he had read, and it seemed to be the lowest-level class. "That must be weak."
"You'll know when you get there, but I have to tell you, every year more than twenty people die there in the heat of the moment, and I don't want to be the last one to come back."
Seeing that Guo Zixiang didn't care, Jieni said with a serious face.
"That's right."
Guo Zixiang also thought of the previous battle, if he wasn't too careless, I'm afraid he wouldn't end up being surrounded and annihilated by a group of rats, so he put away the contempt in his heart and asked.
"And who will teach me?"
"Nicknamed the Skeleton Killer, the D-class hero, Kane."
