Chapter 48: Just Live

Oh~

Wind chimes crouched on the edge of the couch and whispered, and in front of it were shadows cast by window frames and large expanses of crimson sunset.

There was a thumb-sized ball of thread, perhaps from a silk tassel at the end of the curtain, jumping back and forth in front of it, and no one was holding it, it was simply the wind blowing it.

With the strength of his hind legs, one pounced on it, and the thread suddenly floated up, and then swayed at the forehead of the wind chime.

So the wind chimes stood upright again, and waved their front paws to grasp the ball of thread, but the ball of thread seemed to have life, floating in the air, and it didn't even touch it.

Flutter~

Uncontrollable laughter came out of Zhu Jue's mouth, and Chu Yun and Auguste, who were discussing serious topics next to them, turned their heads and looked at him with strange eyes.

"Do you think it's funny that a blizzard has left nearly a hundred people missing?"

Chu Yun's hand touched the crowbar next to him again, this time in earnest.

"I'm sorry, I just thought of something happy, back to business, August, why are you retinning the totem pole, who gave you the guts?"

With a slap on the table, the wind chime, which had already caught the ball of thread, trotted over and jumped on the table, so the raised hand scratched its chin again.

There is really no deterrent left.

"Your question is redundant, I was there when the totem pole was being repaired, and nothing happened. ”

"Heh, are you there? It means that you made this thing, you should have seen that black shadow in the ruins of Pine Mountain before, but I still watched him repair the totem pole, tsk I know, first create difficulties, and then solve difficulties, you will become the person who made meritorious contributions, you are not very old, but your mind is very deep. ”

Zhu Jue glanced at Chu Yun and said in a strange manner.

"You don't have any other skills, but it's a set of tricks to ridicule others!"

Chu Yun is not a person who can bear it, frowning and about to show Zhu Jue his "quality".

"Don't you guys quarrel, aren't we discussing the impact of this incident itself? I hope you two can help me say good things, after all, this accident is really not what I want to see, that totem pole has been tested in many ways before it is re-bridged, and we have specially invited Officer Chu to come over to do insurance during the repair, and no one wants this kind of consequence. ”

Speaking of which, Auguste's mind Zhu Jue also understood that he was worried that he told Chu Yun that he did not listen to the advice and forcibly repaired the totem pole to cause this snowstorm.

Although he really didn't mean it, once those people learned the news, they wouldn't care if you did it on purpose or not, the verbal abuse was light, and it was not impossible to rush to the Yecheng University Library to ask for an explanation, and it would be a huge blow to his reputation as an archaeologist at that time.

"Then it depends on how you perform this blizzard, what is going on?"

Zhu Jue's attitude towards August is actually a little strange now, he repaired the totem pole and caused a blizzard, and this blizzard almost cost him his life, it stands to reason that it is no problem to go up and punch his old face now, but the final outcome is that he not only saved the day, but also got new abilities from it.

Love and hate are intertwined, and this is probably the current situation, so after thinking about it, Zhu Jue still decided to move the topic to other aspects.

"Itakua summoned a blizzard, in fact I think most of the people who went missing during the blizzard were related to him. ”

August actually didn't really want to talk about his sins, in order to make himself suffer less, he was now sparing no effort to show his value in front of Zhu Jue and Chu Yun.

"How?"

This is one of the few times Chu Yun has heard this name.

I don't know if it was a woman's intuition or something else, she was disgusted by the name.

"Suddenly there was a cloud of snow on the altar, a constantly changing, shapeless mass of snow—not just a whirlwind mixed with flying snow, though countless snowflakes were now flying up and down around it and the thing gradually disappeared, as if dissolved in the falling snow, until at last the altar was empty. But I couldn't help but shudder: that thing was the snowflakes around me, flying everywhere and everywhere. ”

August flipped out his notebook and read out a description he had seen before, he was more keen to write down some of the content on his notes than the audio-visual stick, looked at Zhu Jue and Chu Yun's puzzled eyes, and continued,

This passage is from my namesake Mr. Auguste Tresse's The Snow Monster, an ancient book from hundreds of years ago, in which the existence described and part of the Thing That Walks in the Wind, also written by Mr. Auguste Tresse, I am sure that the same being, that is, Itakua, who caused the present blizzard. ”

"Hundreds of years ago, the books recorded the monsters that appear in Yecheng today?"

This is the first time Chu Yun has heard this statement, she thinks she is a person who loves to read, but she has not read the two books that August said, she thought about it and said,

"You mean to say that this monster has existed for a long time, and is not the product of some special experiment in this day and age?"

Zhu Jue didn't speak, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, waiting for August to explain to him.

"Experimental products are just external statements, have you ever thought about it, if it is just a simple experimental product, how can there be so many? And like this mysterious force that appeared in Yecheng today, if it was realized by human beings by creating monsters, then wouldn't it be easy for people with this power to become people who are above the whole federation?"

At this, August stopped talking and went to the door of the ashram and closed the door.

"And how did these monsters come about?"

Chu Yun is still struggling with this issue, and Zhu Jue is also very interested in it.

"I tell you the secret about them, can you confess and be lenient?"

His gaze wandered back and forth between Zhu Jue and Chu Yun, and August expected to get a promise first.

"I'm not a policeman, I'm not familiar with the people in the Public Security Bureau, and you still owe me three old seals, I'm full enough to denounce you?"

Zhu Jue didn't have the spare time to find Auguste against him.

"You say, I'll consider it based on what you said. ”

Ambiguous answer, Chu Yun didn't want to cheat, in fact, she was more worried that if she agreed so quickly like the guy next to her, August might make up some specious content to prevaricate them.

"Officer Chu, as a third-level executive officer, should have been in contact with those monsters, right?"

"Of course. ”

"Do you know where the list came from?"

"Compiled by the Public Security Department based on past experience"

"Wrong, the Public Security Department had no experience at all when it first encountered those monsters, and they were all the lists and materials provided by our Archaeological Association!"

August directly interrupted Chu Yun's words, and then casually reported the names and code names of some known spiritual pollution source monsters that should have been known only to the internal personnel of the Public Security Department, including the existence that Zhu Jue had hunted.

"Why does the government give us so many privileges to the Archaeological Society? It's because only we can find the descriptions of those monsters hidden in ancient books hundreds of years ago, so that we can learn some of their abilities, and then find out their weaknesses through analysis!"

"Among these monsters, the lowest-level ones are the common deep divers, human-faced rats and the like, but even if they are such low-level monsters, their protogens can still give the Public Security Department a headache, not to mention those higher-level existences, the best example is Itakuya, which recently appeared in Yecheng!"

"It's not a monster, you know?"

Speaking of this, August's emotions were a little excited, and then he said,

"It is God! a God who exists in the truest sense of the word, who cannot be understood, who cannot be analyzed and analyzed! It even has its own adherents in some parts of the Federation!"

"Hey, you hold steady, and slowly say Chu Yun, you go get a spiritual protector here. ”

Zhu Jue is a person who has come over, and he immediately noticed Auguste's abnormality, this guy should be because of the continuous study of this aspect of the content so that his mental state is wrong.

This made Zhu Jue subconsciously think of the two pages that were still stored in his bedside table to record the method of communicating with monsters.

This kind of knowledge is not something that can be studied if you want to.

The conversation paused, and Chu Yun ran out to bring his spiritual protector to August before continuing to start.

This time the problem is more direct.

Where did those monsters come from?

They have existed for hundreds of years, and the history of their existence must have been earlier, since they have existed for so long, why did they suddenly appear in recent years?

"I can't answer either of these questions, in fact, this is the question that our archaeological association is now persistently looking for answers, I can only tell you, the origin of these monsters is a mystery, but they wake up in this era, there must be a reason for this, at least one point is that the current archaeological association recognizes that over time, more and more monsters will wake up!"

Speaking of this, whether it was Chu Yun or Zhu Jue, their expressions were much more serious, and they also understood the reason why the government didn't announce this kind of news.

If the public knows that there will be all kinds of monsters around them in the future, maybe someone will make a fuss about this kind of thing to achieve their ulterior purposes.

In fact, similar omens have already appeared in many places.

"Can we defeat these monsters?"

After listening to Auguste's words, Chu Yun lowered her head and muttered to herself.

Turning his head to look at Zhu Jue, he didn't know why, Chu Yun wanted to know his reaction.

He frowned similarly, was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at August and asked, "Those gods do exist, right, that means they are alive?"

"Of course I'm alive, but I don't know where I am, what do you mean?"

August didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Jue's question.

"That's it, as long as it's alive. ”

Zhu Jue grinned, two rows of teeth shining in the setting sun.
