15. Seventy-three – red
It was only then that several people heard the voice of the 'Penglie Prime' for the first time, with a little hoarseness that had not been spoken for a long time:
"Give it to me?"
Eerily quiet.
The indescribable expressions on Dino and Louis' faces reached the extreme in an instant when the 'Penglie Prime' took the plate without changing his face.
This is perhaps the most obvious distortion of the faces of the two since they became superiors.
Can you imagine the feeling of a legendary hero who was written into history and whose great achievements were heard about since childhood, and suddenly became the big man next door who stole sweet potatoes with you? For more than ten years, I have the impression of a powerful, unattainable, almost perfect vague legend, and a character who is about to be demonized...... suddenly fell into the mortal world and became a foodie among all living beings......
Dino and Louis shuddered, unable to believe in some outrageous possibility.
Even if it wasn't for the deity, the dignified 'Penglie I. Shi' staring at Youdou because of a plate of pancakes, stopping Louis so that the pancakes would not be knocked over, and staring at Youdou silently just to taste the taste of pancakes - who would believe such a thing!
However, if it weren't for this reason, what would it mean that the 'Penglie Primary', who had been unresponsive to the outside world, suddenly paid attention to Youdou and took the plate in his hand?
Dino and the others stared at the 'Penglie Prime' with blazing eyes, the latter calmly holding the plate, but there was no lame and funny feeling, as if he was a pope holding a crown on the silver screen, solemn and calm, not to be forced.
- This scene made Louis can't help but shrink his neck, for fear that the plate will really be buckled on his head like a crown.
Although the posture of the first generation is incompatible with this era, it is precisely because of this unique aura that cannot be ignored that Dino and Louis feel normal.
If it's really like some foodie - Louis glanced at the equally calm and expressionless Yudou - like the one over there, then the image is shattered.
However, the next second, Louie was shocked again.
The blonde-haired young man with a calm face shrouded in a faint golden light really took a piece of pancake with a silver fork and slowly put it in his mouth.
Louie's scalp couldn't help but stiffen.
Contrary to Louis, Dino, who was only one step away from him, could not be more calm at the moment. Putting aside the preconceived thinking that "the first generation of Penglie and our cliff are people of two worlds" and "heroes are unattainable", there is nothing out of the ordinary about the behavior of "the first generation of Penglie". It can even be said that compared to the previous state of unresponsiveness, the 'he' at this moment is closer to Dino's understanding of the 'Penglie First Generation'.
"A mind as vast as the sky above the Aegean Sea, and a heart that is more transparent than the waters of the Adriatic...... Respect the strong, take care of the weak, no matter what background people can treat each other sincerely...... Truly embracing a qiē big emptiness. This is the original text in the "Secret Record of the Chieftains of Penglie", although there is an exaggerated artistic component, but it can also be seen from it that part of the "first generation of Penglie".
Inclusive. Accommodate. Honest. Cherish all kindness.
Even if he doesn't need Youdou's 'kindness', he won't refuse lightly.
It was only because someone 'invited him to taste' that he was as good as he could.
No perfunctory, no reluctance.
Seriously, solemnly and with all the respect he can give.
- Thank you for your hospitality.
Will the personality charm of Pengle, who can let the enemy release his past suspicions and make the most arrogant and powerful man willingly follow, will it be displayed in front of his eyes again in this era a hundred years later?
Dino's heart was full of indescribable surging, but he obviously ignored a fact.
The 'Penglie Prime' in front of him is like a puppet for some reason, and only instinct remains. Even though he seems to be vivid and natural now, that's just how it looks.
I saw that the 'Penglie Prime' silently finished eating the things on the plate, rested the plate on the empty coffee table, and then ...... Standing still again.
Dino, who thought he would be lucky enough to witness the immortality of the 'Pengley Primary', was as stunned as Louis.
Youdou, the only one who didn't show such a rich expression, held a palm-sized detector and reported his detection results to the two of them one by one.
"It is not surprising that the mental body is incomplete, so it is not surprising that there is 'lack of motivation', only instinct and no thinking."
Dino and Louis looked at each other. Although I don't know how Yuto came to his conclusion, in this way, the strange table of 'Penglie First Generation' can be explained.
Without thinking, of course, there is a lack of awareness of communicating with people, so they will be indifferent to the noise of the outside world.
And because the instinct is still there, it will resist an aggressive behavior, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and choose the most correct action.
Moreover, Louis was possessed by 'this one' because he happened to be present when Penglie was destroyed ten years later, and was the first person to touch the wreckage of Pengley's Great Empty Ring.
Isn't that understandable as the fact that the original consciousness stored in the ring was damaged by Penglie's own consciousness body?
After all, according to rumors, part of the material used to forge Penglie's rings was the blood and death fire of Penglie's first generations. The Ring was born out of the catastrophe, and the consciousness and will of the first generations were inseparable from the Ring from the beginning. Therefore, when the ring is destroyed, the consciousness of the seven primordial generations who protect the ring with their own existence will be torn apart like the ring?
But the perceptive Louis still felt that something didn't make sense.
"No, if you really don't have any thoughts, just an empty shell, then what happened to his communication with you just now?"
Could it be that the communication between the 'Penglie First Generation' and Yuto is also instinctive? But when Dino talks to himself, the other party seems to be inaudible, if it is really instinct, this instinct is too discriminatory, right?
Louis denied this speculation, and it can only be attributed to Yuto's good luck and happened to bump into the opponent's 'reaction'.
After all, it's just an incomplete mental body, and it's not a real puppet, so it's not surprising that this 'Pengley Primordial' should still have some remnants of consciousness, and it's not surprising that he will be 'intermittently awake'.
"And me?" Yuto didn't understand where Louie's confusion was, "Isn't eating instinctive?" Of course, his actions just now were instinctive. ”
Louis was silent, but his heart was mad: although eating is a human instinct...... But is 'this one' human? The spirit body has no need to eat at all, do you think everyone is the same as you foodie?
And it's not a question of eating or not at all, I'm asking about the conscious eye contact and the rare opening of the golden mouth, you didn't see the moment when the 'statue, immovable mountain, Pengley prime' opened the mouth, and your father and me...... Ahh
"And one more point," Louis turned solemnly to Dino, "what is the name of your little brother?" It's called Yuto, right? Hell Temple Chiren is just a pseudonym? ”
Even a name has to be so complicated, how can he be embarrassed by this 'title choice phobia'!
"You have a lot of problems...... Dino marveled at Louie's various 'phobias', "You're going to have a lot of problems...... It's a long story. ”
After all, Youdou's situation is special, and you can't tell when you'll 'change' into another person, so if you want to prevent Youdou's secret from being exposed and attracting the covetousness of people with malicious intentions, it's necessary to use a pseudonym.
If you keep using the name Yuto, coupled with his unique personal characteristics, sooner or later you will be noticed by others.
At that time, not even the Gabriones would be able to be his shield.
"Is there anything to say, and do these two names have any deep meaning?" Louis persevered.
"Absolutely." Unexpectedly, this time it was Youdou who answered Louie.
Not only Louie, but even Dino cast a surprised gaze.
"If it's a prison temple red person......
Youdou took out the PAD that he didn't leave and flipped through it, glanced at it a few times, quickly stuffed it back into his pocket, reached into Dino's pocket with his paws and touched it, and fished out a cigarette; He fumbled into his pocket again and pulled out a dozen bombs. Youto took the cigarette into his mouth diagonally and looked up at Louie, his eyes as quiet as a lake suddenly became a little more rebellious.
He glanced at Louis with a blank face: "- Blow you up." ”
Louis: "......"
Dino: "......" As an informed person who knows Hayato in the prison temple and knows what kind of prototype should be, Dino feels that he is under a lot of pressure.
The next time he sees Hayato in the prison temple, he may not be able to look at each other directly......
Louie, who didn't know that Yuto had borrowed the oral Zen of the Hayabusa of the Prison Temple, hesitated a little: "...... Isn't it time for your 'son' to take medicine? ”
Dino rubbed his stiff face, patted Louis on the shoulder, and sighed deeply: "No, actually...... That's a long story. ”
“…… you X's long story. ”
Louis grinded his teeth viciously, feeling that this 'father-son group' was simply a virtue.
He didn't bother to pay any more attention to the two (in his opinion) who were playing tricks, and he didn't want to bother with a certain primordial who was acting as a background cloth on the side, and poured himself a cup of coffee.
The substance of that cup of coffee was quickly recognized by Yudou: "Cat poop coffee." ”
"Poof—"
Louie almost didn't make it to the coffee fountain.
Cat poop coffee, also known as civet coffee, is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, costing up to a few hundred dollars per pound.
But that's not the point, the point is that this coffee, as the name suggests, is processed from coffee beans from civet feces......
Of course, Louie knew that this was civet coffee, but he knew that it was one thing, and when he heard the word "cat" while drinking coffee, could he still drink it?
Now his mind was full of scenes of civet pooping, as if even the dark brown in this cup was ...... That expensive excrement.
At this moment, Louis felt like he was holding a glass of and was actively putting it into his mouth......
"Vomiting ......" Louie, who has various obsessive-compulsive disorders, immediately rushed out of the room and vomited, leaving behind the incomprehensible Youdou, the wry smile Dino, and the still as quiet as a painting 'Penglie First Generation'.
A minute later, Louis came back with a miserable white face: "This must be revenge from the Gabrigne family......"
Dino was a little weak: "Are you okay?" ”
"It's all right," Louis put back on his mask, "I've always known that the Gabrigne people are not only uninteresting, but also vulgar in their speech......"
"Don't slander indiscriminately, hey!" Dino had a headache, and he felt that the other party seemed to be stimulated by a relatively large amount, so that he was in a trance, and his words were unfounded.
However, Dino felt ...... Although Yuto said it bluntly, Louie's reaction was too great...... It can only be said that the world of cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive patients, he does not understand.
Dino wanted to help Louis with weak feet in the spirit of humanitarianism, but suddenly, the whole cruise ship seemed to have been hit and shook hard.
Youdou tilted his head and thought for a while: "Hit the rocks?" ”
“…… How is it possible, there are no reefs around here. Dino pushed open the round window and found that it was inexplicably dark outside.
"Storm?" Dino muttered, ready to get out of the cabin and take a look at the wheelhouse.
The 'Captain' is his friend, this sentence is not a casual lie, he and the 'Captain' have an extraordinary friendship, the 'Captain' who was supposed to beat people in Taranto, this time will be on the 'Three-Headed Dog', personally at the helm, also because he is going to take the ship and Sheng.
And now a strange phenomenon has happened, although he is not sure whether the problem is strict or not, and he doesn't know if the 'captain' needs help, Dino, as a friend, still decided to go to the 'captain' as soon as possible.
"I'll go out first, you and Louie don't ...... stay here."
Before he could finish speaking, Dino suddenly realized that something was wrong.
This room...... It didn't seem to be the room they had just stayed in.
Although the layout is very similar, the equipment, materials, and even many details are different from the original room.
For example, the scratches on the wooden door are gone, and the whole door panel is as new as new, and there is no trace of the age of the century-old ship.
There is also a drawstring chandelier on the wall, which has been replaced by a copper-plated kerosene lamp, although there is no obvious change in light compared with the original dim wall lamp, but it has a strange atmosphere for no reason.
The wooden floor underfoot is getting older, and there are dark brown stains that make people look straight at it.
"What the hell is this......?"
Dino realizes that something is beyond his imagination and is running in an unpredictable direction.
"Ahh Yuto seemed to have suddenly discovered something, "It's gone." ”
After being reminded by Youdou, Dino suddenly notices another detail that he has overlooked.
Because someone was too quiet before, they all quickly blended into the background...... He hadn't even noticed it just now......
The 'Penglie Prime' who was originally standing next to the coffee table...... It's gone.
