Chapter 42: A Barbecue at Night
Namwon City, late at night.
On the roof of a building more than a dozen stories high, Qi Gao was lying on the railing boredly, looking at the streets, vehicles and people below.
Looking at the ant-like pedestrians below, Qi Gao couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
Seven full days have passed since the Yang Huacheng incident, that is, a week, and it has been ten days since he became a worshipper. These ten days are definitely the most intense, exciting, and unforgettable ten days in his past 19 years.
In these ten days, a lot has happened, I have experienced several lives and deaths, and I don't know how many times I have fallen into deep despair.
Fortunately, everything is over, Yang Huacheng has been defeated, and he can finally live an "ordinary" life as a worshipper of the gods.
The only thing that is a little regrettable is Guan Bai Lianxin's matter.
It was also after becoming a god worshipper that Qi Gao knew that his good friend and pursuer Bai Lianxin was actually a person from the god worshipper world, and he was still a member of the Longyao group. Although Qi Gao already knew from Chen Mengyuan that Long Yao was not an evil organization, he still couldn't easily accept this fact in his heart.
Because of this, in the past seven days after the end of Yang Huacheng's incident, he hasn't spoken much to Bai Lianxin, and he rarely even meets, sometimes even if he passes by, he doesn't greet each other, and the relationship between the two is no different from that of strangers.
Don't? This is the legendary relationship breakdown?
Qi Gao shook his head violently, shaking the thought out of his mind.
Absolutely not, my feelings for Xiao Xin have not changed at all now, and I still like her so much. I believe that this situation is only temporary.
Qi Gao clenched his fists, he was also a god worshipper now. With the understanding of the world of the gods, he will definitely understand Bai Lianxin better, and he will definitely be able to have more common language with Bai Lianxin, and at that time, he will be reconciled with Bai Lianxin as before, or even go further, it will no longer be a dream.
Just as Qi Gao was sighing, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Hey! Don't want your beef skewers? Shall I eat it? ”
"Wait for me!"
Qi Gao hurriedly turned around and retrieved the beef skewers he had finally grilled from Chen Mengyuan.
"If you want to eat it, bake it yourself, how many of my have you robbed."
Thinking that he had been roasting so many times in half an hour, and he hadn't been able to eat a few skewers, Qi Gao couldn't help but complain.
"I did it myself, huh? But it's too slow, and it's not enough to eat. ”
Chen Mengyuan had a smile on his face, eating Qi Gao's kebab unceremoniously, without any guilt.
This man has such a bad character!
Qi Gao had no choice but to sit obediently and dare not move around at will, otherwise, his barbecue would definitely be eaten by Chen Mengyuan again.
On the roof of this building, Qi Gao and Chen Mengyuan were around.
Barbecue grills, black charcoal, forks and other barbecue tools, of course, barbecue materials, beef, lamb, chicken wings, leeks, tofu skin, etc., as well as seasonings and beer.
When ordinary people see it, they will definitely think that they are barbecuing, but they are definitely not, although they seem to be barbecuing, they are also doing barbecue things, and they are still eating barbecue. However, their purpose is definitely not to barbecue, what they are really doing is to hunt soul beasts and protect the peace of Namwon City.
As for why barbecue?
Because, of course, it's boring!
In this world, there are very few worshippers of the gods, and soul beasts seem to be a little more than the worshippers of the gods, but there are also very few, in Nanyuan City, it is good to encounter them three or four times a year.
This is still in Nanyuan City, if it is in other places, it is estimated that it will not necessarily encounter a soul beast once in a few years.
And unfortunately, a few days ago, they had just encountered a soul beast once, so the next time they encountered a soul beast, it was likely to be a few months later.
However, soul beasts are dangerous creatures, and no one knows what they will do, so they must not relax, and they must not patrol Nanyuan City because of the small chance they encounter.
It's just so boring!
Walking around the city all day without purpose will eventually get tired of it, and maybe some mental illness will be left behind. So, when patrolling every night, there are some programs to pass the time, and that's a matter of course.
As for the search for soul beasts, doesn't it have Chen Mengyuan's eyes? No matter how bad it is, there is still Qi Gao's left eye that has been sacrificed and can see soul power? If a soul beast appears in Nanyuan City, if you want to find it, it's just a trivial matter.
After all, if you really rely on walking on the street and occasionally encounter soul beasts, it is too unrealistic, Nanyuan City is so big, walking aimlessly on the streets, it is difficult to meet an acquaintance, let alone extremely rare, soul beasts that only appear in Nanyuan City a few times a year.
But if that's the case, wouldn't there be no need to come out on patrol? With Chen Mengyuan's eyes, even at home, he can easily find the soul beasts that appear in Nanyuan City, why is it so troublesome to come out to patrol every day?
Chen Mengyuan's explanation is that Nanyuan City is very special, it is covered by a huge formation, because of this formation, nearly one-third of the territory of Nanyuan City cannot be seen or seen clearly by her mental eyes.
And Qi Gao's left eye is similar, although he can see the soul power, but there are faint black soul power floating in many places in Nanyuan City, and the soul power of the soul beast is also black, and at night, as long as the soul beast is a little farther away from him, it can't be found.
Qi Gao once asked Chen Mengyuan, would the formations and the black soul power floating everywhere in Nanyuan City be harmful to the human body? There are other questions, such as, why is there this formation? What is the purpose of this formation? Who made the formation? Why is there so much black soul power in Nanyuan City?
As for the results, it can only be said to be ambiguous, there are many things that Chen Mengyuan simply doesn't know, or this is not the Tang Sai past that you should know now, Qi Gao can see that Chen Mengyuan must know something, but he just doesn't want to say it.
Since Chen Mengyuan didn't want to say it, Qi Gao didn't force it, as long as he knew that the formation and black soul power located in Nanyuan City were harmless to the human body.
As for the rest? How many days has he been a worshipper now? It is also appropriate to know less. However, Qi Gao believed that after he became strong and became a qualified god worshipper, Chen Mengyuan would definitely tell him more.
Now? Let's work hard and become strong as soon as possible.
Qi Gao and Chen Mengyuan, while eating barbecue, chatted without a word.
However, don't look at their good relationship, they even entrusted their lives to each other for a while, but they really don't have any common language.
After all, how many days have Qi Gao and Chen Mengyuan only known each other?
Ten days!
In ten days, the relationship between Qi Gao and Chen Mengyuan was realized and understood, and finally it was a friend of life and death. However, Qi Gao didn't know anything about Chen Mengyuan's hobbies and habits.
Usually what they talk about is about the worshippers of the gods, and about the worshippers of the gods, in the past few days, everything that can be said has been almost said, and the rest are either Chen Mengyuan is unwilling to say it, or Qi Gao's strength is not enough to know.
That's right.
Qi Gao suddenly remembered something.
"Eldest sister, I'm now free to take out the oracle."
Chen Mengyuan once said to Qi Gao that when he could take out the oracle freely, he would tell her.
"Oh? Is it? Chen Mengyuan nodded, not looking surprised, "In that case, take out your oracle and take a look." ”
"Understood."
Qi Gao stood up excitedly, closed his eyes, and clasped his hands weakly.
A week ago, Qi Gao was only able to complete his transformation and take out the oracle when he was extremely angry. Now, after Chen Mengyuan's guidance in the past seven days, and his own hard work, he was finally able to take out the oracle at will by his own will.
Of course, this degree of arbitrariness is definitely not as high as Chen Mengyuan's, and if he wants to take out the oracle, it will take a while to brew.
Taking a deep breath, my head contemplating the shape of the oracle and imagining what I was going to do with it.
For a long time, Qi Gao's face showed a hideous look.
On the back of his right hand, he felt a stinging pain like fire.
Qi Gao knew that the Divine Seal had appeared, so next-
Through the void, from the distant dimension of the gods, took out the symbol of the worshipper, the existence of the symbol of power - the oracle.
A two-meter-long black strange giant blade appeared in his hand, and Qi Gao could clearly feel that his body hid a power unimaginable to ordinary people.
And in his mind, due to the relationship between the inheritance of the gods, there are countless more experiences and knowledge, but he has no sense of disobedience at all, as if those experiences and knowledge are innate.
The transformation was successful, and Qi Gao smiled happily.
"That's what you call the oracle of free retribution?"
It's just that Chen Mengyuan, who seemed to be on the side, was not very happy, but stared at Qi Gao with a questioning look.
"This?" Qi Gao was a little embarrassed, "It's already very good that I can do this in such a short time." ”
"In my opinion, you haven't made any progress at all." Chen Mengyuan said coldly.
"How so! I've made a lot of progress, okay? Although it took a bit of time to take out the oracle, I don't know how many times better it was compared to before. Qi Gao shouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't look at us novices with the eyes of a great god?" ”
"This has nothing to do with the length of time it takes to take out the oracle, it's an essential problem in the method of extraction."
Chen Mengyuan ate the grilled barbecue skewers and looked at Qi Gao with serious eyes.
Qi Gao knew that Chen Mengyuan had become serious, so he pricked up his ears and listened attentively to Chen Mengyuan's next speech.
"In the past, you relied on the extreme emotions of anger and hatred to take out the oracle, but this method of taking out the oracle is wrong. And now, you take out the oracle in the same way as before, with resentment or hatred. ”
"Is this wrong?"
"Nonsense!"
“…… I know! Qi Gao said excitedly, "The power obtained by using negative emotions is an evil way, and it is not correct, right?" We should be messengers of justice with positive feelings, right? ”
"Big mistake."
Faced with Chen Mengyuan's merciless blow, Qi Gao had a bitter face and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Power, there is no distinction between evil and justice, evil or righteousness, is man, is the person who uses power. And the oracle, you can think of it as a colorless power, and you don't need any emotion to take it out. In other words, because the oracle is a colorless force, the moment it is taken out, the person will be in a state of nothingness. ”
After listening to Chen Mengyuan's words, Qi Gao seemed to understand a little.
Seeing Qi Gao's ignorant appearance, Chen Mengyuan sighed.
"I'll take out the oracle now, and you look me in the eye."
Qi Gao and Chen Mengyuan looked at each other, and at the moment when Chen Mengyuan transformed, Qi Gao found that Chen Mengyuan's eyes became empty and empty, looking like a blind man.
"So that's it?" Qi Gao understood, "I thought that negative feelings got the power of evil, and positive feelings got the power of justice, but it turned out that this was not the case." ”
"You've read too many comics."
"But if so, wouldn't it be more difficult to take out the oracle? It's very difficult to be emotionless, especially in battle, even for a split second. ”
Chen Mengyuan waved his hand and said, "You have to worry about this, this kind of thing is not active, it is passive." ”
"So what the hell is to do?"
After listening to Chen Mengyuan's words, Qi Gao was even more confused.
It is wrong to take out an oracle with extreme feelings, and it does not need to be emotional, but it is not necessary to take the initiative to take out an oracle without feelings.
Ahh......h
Qi Gao held his head depressedly, thought for a long time, and still didn't come up with any useful answers.
So, Qi Gao had no choice but to turn his gaze to Chen Mengyuan.
But before Qi Gao could speak, Chen Mengyuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know, when I transformed, I was also confused." ”
"How so!"
Ignoring Qi Gao's wailing, Chen Mengyuan leisurely ate barbecue.
