If you compare the city of thousand sails to a flower.

Then the lower town is the rhizome and the foliage.

The Thousand Sails Race City is a delicate flower that absorbs all the nutrients and blooms.

Even on this cold winter night, the brilliant neon lights still decorate this "city in the sky" with golden brilliance.

At this moment.

Under the ring track, above a thousand meters in the sky, a thousand sails race across the boulevard somewhere in the city.

The two of them walked along, walking on the left was a young man with a long figure and a handsome appearance, and on the right was an old man with gray temples and a rather athletic physique.

However, the young man was in front of him, and the old man was half a position behind.

Two pairs of black boots continue to fall into the pure white snow, leaving a series of deep black marks.

"Have you watched the video?"

Raise your hand to pick a dead leaf that falls with the wind, place it in the street lamp, and ask softly while looking at its vein.

"I just watched it, and I can confirm that it is the starring actor of the Grotesque Studio five years ago, but I didn't expect him to not only not die, but also participate in our actions in the bottom community, the last scene of the video is provocative, the rats hiding in Tibet, in this season of food scarcity, will eventually come out to find food. ”

"The stronghold of Community 39 was taken by him, and the message from Nesta not long ago, Nohara, the rat you mentioned is much stronger than you imagined. ”

The young man suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the old man next to him, with a smile on his face, but the dead leaves in his hands turned into powder and returned to the wind at some point.

"Sorry, it was my negligence!"

The expression froze on his face, and the old man took a step back and bowed ninety degrees to apologize.

"It seems that you only know about this, which makes me sad, I am here to help you realize your dreams, but you are less attentive than me, Nohara Isshin, I know that you have been busy with activities recently, but the bottom community is also a key part of the plan, you are my ears and eyes, if I can't know these things from you, but have to be told by others, then...... What's the point of your existence?"

"I promise you this is the last time!"

Get down on your knees and kowtow with your palms on your forehead.

"Get up, I'm not a mean person, if you apologize to me, then I'll forgive you, as for the rat in the weird studio, I'll find someone to deal with it, all you have to do is determine his location in the shortest possible time, and in addition, send more people to the bottom community...... I don't want anything to go wrong until the project is fully launched. ”

Turning to move on, Nohara hurried to follow, not even daring to dust off the snow on his knees and cuffs, allowing it to melt away.

After walking forward for a while, and when the atmosphere eased slightly, Nohara thought about what he wanted to say more, but the situation just now made him cringe a little, for fear of upsetting the other party by saying anything more, and the other party said that he was not a mean person, he believed it, but forgive this kind of thing...... One time is enough, and again, he can't stand it!

"Don't be afraid, I said, you are my eyes and ears, you should come in handy. ”

The young man didn't look back, but said as if he saw Nohara's expression.

"My lord, there are already signs of loosening on the Wu side, and they have agreed to send someone to try to accept our ritual. ”

"Well done, a hole was torn, and the other places will one day be unsupportable. ”

Unconsciously, the two stepped on a staircase, and the young man looked back as he spoke, and the snow on the long street looked a little dazzling in the lights.

But those two series of footprints completely destroyed this supposed perfect sense of art.

"I love this place, no matter how many times I watch it, I don't get tired of it......"

Retract your gaze and turn away.

It's just that when his words fell, the footprints in Nohara's eyes suddenly seemed like ink scattered into the water, and the pitch-black thing frantically devoured the pure white of the long street.

Blink in a trance.

Everything on the street is back to normal.

The snow is still there, and so is the darkness.

......

The place where the summoning ceremony takes place is still the former indoor billiard hall.

Zhu Jue specially observed when he entered the door, and it seemed that no one had come in since he last came in, and there was already some dust on the ground.

After all, there was the first attempt, and this time both the outline of the circle and the steps of casting the spell were smooth, and the only change was that Zhu Jue chanted an extra incantation when he took the last step.

In the glimmer of the circle, the familiar figure of the ancient man reappeared!

"You found ...... Gadamon?"

Compared to the alienation when they met for the first time, this time the ancient man appeared directly in front of Zhu Jue, and his curled tentacles fluttered in front of the latter.

"Of course, I killed an infected body, and dissected its head the way you said before, when in fact it was meant to turn into a large pool of weird black-purple colloid....... It's close to Shogues, but there's a bone tree that can produce fruit by absorbing the energy of the infected, and I've seen it attract the infected under its control, and then suck their energy through the tentacles on the branches of the bone tree, do you know this technique?"

Taking two steps back without a trace, Zhu Jue described the situation, hoping to learn more information through it.

"Low-level technology, Shogues is different from them...... It's a way of energy harvesting, and the infected body is just one part of it, and the Gadamon subbody gives it to me. ”

Several tentacles stopped in front of Zhu Jue's body, constantly twisting in all directions, and it seemed that the things mentioned by Zhu Jue were far less interesting than Gadamon's sub-body.

Zhu Jue didn't procrastinate, and directly took out the Gadamon sub-body from the space ring, compared to the echinoderm flesh ball he got before and the dark red fruit on the bone tree he saw in the No. 37 community, the black substance suspended in his palm and constantly wriggling, exuding an extremely foul odor, was undoubtedly more uncomfortable.

The Ancient One began the test as soon as he took Gadamon's offspring, several tentacles hovering around it, and a few points of light could be faintly seen pouring into it.

It took about 10 minutes for the Ancient's movements to cease.

"It's not enough, this part of the offspring is not enough to transform your body...... You have to adapt to them, there are no materials in this world, equipment ......"

The staccato words seemed to be in the middle of a thought.

"Not enough of the number of Gadamon's children?"

Zhu frowned and asked, barely understanding part of the content,

"If you want more, you have to find the same infected, although there is a target at the moment, but how to destroy this kind of infected body that has been completely spread, I was lucky to meet an infected body that is in the process of mutation, if it is a few minutes late, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. ”

Solving the polluted area is a very urgent matter, whether it is the government of Qianfan City or Zhu Jue, they all want to know a clear method, not to mention that now it involves the problem of breaking through their own strength, Zhu Jue's mood can't help but be a little anxious.

"Destroy the core, it absorbs energy through the bone tree, transforms energy, and whenever the bone tree is attacked, it reacts immediately. ”

That's a straightforward answer. ”

The old man's answer can't be wrong, but it always sounds a little strange.

It is not easy to attack the bone tree by crossing hundreds of meters of the infection layer, and before approaching the bone tree, you have to resist the crazy attack of the tentacles formed by the black and purple colloid, and it is estimated that you will be taken care of by the infected people around you, and finally you have to fight with the infection layer that has returned to the form of a monster.

Thinking about it like this, even Zhu Jue felt a little troublesome.

Not to mention the Thousand Sails City government.

Ordinary armies certainly can't do it, long-range bombing doesn't seem to work because the networks of the underlying communities are cut off, and bazookas aren't powerful enough unless they use long-range missiles......

Blow yourself up?

As long as the high-level government of Qianfan City is still in good spirits, they will not do such a thing.

Don't look at the generals in American blockbusters who are clamoring to use nuclear bombs and atomic bombs to blow up monsters all day long, it sounds quite painful.

In fact, if this is done, no matter what the original intention is, there is no doubt that the people who gave this order and those who carried it out will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history forever by the surviving people.

Of course, in special cases, it doesn't matter if the atomic bomb blows up the monster or makes the monster mutate faster....... Someone has to die, doesn't it?

But the problem is that the current low-level community is still not enough to make the Thousand Sails City government desperately use missiles to bombard.

"In the spirit form, it can't carry equipment and materials, and the Gadamon subbody can't be transformed. ”

The Old One repeated what he had just said, this time in more detail.

Zhu Jue was stunned in place after hearing this, and immediately realized an important issue that he had ignored before.

The Ancient One said that he would use the Gadamon Seed to transform him, but the Ancient One summoned by the Liaison Technique told it that he did not even have a physical body, let alone use the Gadamon Child.

However, the effect of the Pluto medicine in his hand is also similar to that of the contact technique, both of which are souls traveling through time and space, Zhu Jue does not remember that there is a record in the ancient text of the ruins that can bring things back from the "fairy world".

"What then?"

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Jue could only stretch out his hand and look at the ancient man and asked.

"We have a special technology, which has not disappeared in our civilization, and can teleport materials through another dimensional space, provided that you have the ability to establish coordinates, I can't set up coordinates in this world in this form. ”

"Wait, if my soul goes to you, you're in an entity state, can you let me go back with the coordinates?"

“.......”

Perhaps it was the first time he had met a human who had proposed such an idea, and even the ancients fell silent for a while, and only after a while did he say with his thoughts,

"We haven't made a similar attempt, and we may succeed, but it is not easy to travel through time and space, even if we do it reluctantly...... You will be chased by monsters that inhabit the perspective of time as prey, and even we cannot guarantee that we will be able to drive out those monsters, you must fight it alone and banish it in order to survive. ”

"Actually, I want to know more than this monster, why are you willing to help me?"

Rather than discussing those unknown monsters, Zhu Jue was more worried about the attitude of the ancients.

You must know that in order to liberate the soul, Zhu Jue used the ancient crystals to make a deal with the great race, but the ancient ones summoned with the liaison technique never mentioned the price that Zhu Jue needed to pay.

This not only did not make Zhu Jue feel happy, but made him more and more uneasy.

Will the ancient intelligent race help humanity for no reason?

Zhu Jue didn't think of himself as the kind of person in the Codex Nakert who was favored by the ancients!

"This is an experiment, you have volunteered to be our test subject for the study of Mi Go's technology, and if you fail, you will become a monster completely...... Do you think it's help?"

"When I didn't ask!"

It turns out that expecting these rational guys is really too much Zhu Jue.
