Volume 2 The Awakening of the Ancient Eater Chapter 58 Retreat
Gods and ghosts are a kind of faith, for believers, it is a kind of spiritual support, if a religion before the shouting of the gods they believe in will bring disaster, should be cleared, believe that the end should be miserable.
Therefore, both spirit masters and soul killers live in a rather secluded posture, and cannot have too much contact with the normal world, let alone have an affair with religion, and nothing about them must be known to ordinary people.
Especially, the great battle with God fifty years ago.
It was the first time in the history of human struggle that the gods on high had defeated them and completely repelled them.
Since then, however, it is as if the gods have disappeared from this world, and they cannot be traced, as if they have retreated to another world.
The Soul Slayer was quite dissatisfied with this result, because it was obvious that nothing had been done, and Odin, the king of the gods, was still alive, so the gods had no chance of falling, and would inevitably come back.
After that war, the human side also suffered a lot of damage, and for a while, the reserves of force of the soul killer and the spirit master were paralyzed for three years, and if the gods came back at this moment, it would definitely be defeated.
However, fortunately, the gods did not reappear, on the contrary, the demon clan, which was originally weak and hidden in the darkness, took advantage of this opportunity to lose both sides and began to intrude on human society, and the spirit killers naturally did not sit idly by, and began to spread the available people in their family around the world to sweep away those wandering demons, so that fifty years have passed.
"So, we want to prevent those gods from coming back, and after fifty years, our strength to deal with the war is still lacking, so we will look for talented people among the people."
Walking side by side on the boulevard, Lin Xiqin explained the reason to Liang Xiao.
"That is, if necessary, I will most likely be sent out to fight with Sun Wukong?" Liang Xiaogan laughed and said helplessly.
It seemed that he was accustomed to this kind of question, Lin Xiqin chuckled without feeling strange: "Don't worry, the academy has a hierarchy of those gods, and the identity and number of investigators sent to deal with different levels will change, and a newcomer will not be allowed to face those mythical characters from the beginning, otherwise no matter who it is, it will be weak." ”
Liang Xiao agreed with this sentence, just thinking about it, he stood alone under the Gungnir of Odin, the king of the gods, and felt his scalp tingle.
"Look, we're here."
Walking out of the tree-lined path, Liang Xiao suddenly felt a burst of clarity in front of him, in front of him was a huge fountain square, a wide field of vision couldn't help but make people feel as if through the hole of the peach blossom source, came to another world, in the center of the square, is a tall Italian-style sculpture, a naked man with a sword in his hand pointed to the sky, his face was calm, and the sword in his hand was round-headed, without a sharp blade, and there was a round shield under his feet, the shield was the opposite of the sword, It was covered with sharp stone thorns.
"That sculpture is a symbol of the spirit master's thoughts, protection rather than killing, resistance rather than conquest, in fact, if the gods had not wanted to invade this world, the spirit master and the soul killer would not have been born." Lin Xiqin said, and then laughed self-deprecatingly, "But it's useless for them to say this to the soul killers, they are all martial arts factions, and they always have an urge to kill all the gods and ghosts." ”
However, Liang Xiao's eyes at this moment were not looking at the statue, but at the majestic gate standing behind the sculpture, which was not the appearance of the traditional high-end community that had just entered, but was more tall and majestic, standing there like a giant, guarding everything behind him.
If you want to compare it, it should be said that there is a gate that can compete with the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
"This is the real entrance, and the road is actually full of pinhole monitors and scanners, and if you recognize that you are not from here, then there will be electricity hidden in the shadows. The gun "biu~" comes out at once, and then someone will send you out. ”
Lin Xiqin smiled a little happily, while Liang Xiao felt a little cold.
What if that thing breaks down one day? Wouldn't it be an electric shock?
"By the way, why isn't there anyone here?" Looking at the empty square in front of him, Liang Xiao asked.
"Because it's vacation time, some people have gone home, and the rest of the people are ......" Lin Xiqin suddenly hesitated a little, and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Forget it, you will know when you go in a while, anyway, you are now under the management of Mr. Annanbo, and you should share the joys and sorrows." ”
"Huh? What do you say......"
didn't understand the implicit meaning of that sentence too much, and when Liang Xiao was about to ask questions, Lin Xiqin had already walked towards the gate with brisk steps.
Knowing that he couldn't ask anything now, Liang Xiao had no choice but to follow her and walk into the world inside.
In the boulevard behind him, on a tree at the very end, a pinhole camera was facing Liang Xiao, flashing a subtle light.
In a room with a rather Italian layout, a middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat sat on a leather coat, his feet in leather boots folded on the table, holding a bottle of Corona beer in his hand, drinking while looking at the laptop in front of him, the computer screen showed Liang Xiao facing him inside, walking towards the door.
"Yo." There was a whistle, and a playful smile appeared on the man's face.
"Hey! Dannifer, come and see how your cowboy dancing I recently learned! ”
The door was suddenly slammed open, and a man with gray hair walked in, standing in front of the door with a slightly fat body in middle age, twisting and writhing, and a pair of feet in leather shoes quickly kicked back and forth on the ground.
"How? Do you have any Western style of Yankees? ”
"Hahaha, cowboy is tap dancing, you dance like that? You're a call girl in the bar! Dannifer laughed, drank the beer in his hand and threw it into the trash can under the table, "Milson, watch your waist, if something goes wrong again this time, I won't carry you again." ”
"Don't worry, exercise more every day, and these little problems won't be a problem." With a wave of his hand, Milson looked around the room and frowned, "Hey! I mean, are you cowboys so wild? Your room is a mess like you've stumbled into the cowshed of a wild boar. ”
"That's right, I'm not as slender as you old men, I'm wild, it means I'm still young, you can only imitate call girls now, but I can still patronize, understand?" Tapping the table and laughing, Dannifer waved at Milson, "Here, come over here and show you something good." ”
"New adult video?"
"When you're older, can you pay a little attention to the following regimens? I've heard that you've spent time in China before, and you haven't learned anything elegant and easy-going? ”
Shaking his head, Denifer clicked a few times on his laptop with his right hand, and several photos were displayed on the computer.
"What is this?" Looking at the photos, Milson's brow furrowed slightly.
"Aren't you interested in the affairs of Annanbo? This is the new student he recruited this time, how about it? Dannifer smiled mysteriously.
Milson was silent for a long time, then nodded: "In our country, he looks pretty good. ”
"Hey! You old bad guy. ”
Closing the computer with a snap, Dannifer lit a cigar and said to Milson, "One?" ”
"No, thank you, I'm going to start a regimen now."
Glancing at Milson, Dannifer lowered his voice and said, "Annanbo, go to the branch again and ask for a rating for this newcomer." ”
Milson shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "What's so strange about this, doesn't he like that?" Pick the students you like and bring them back, and then ask for ratings, saying that the students he likes are the best, and only 4 people have been recruited so far, oh no, it's 5 now. ”
"Hey, what he's asking for this time is an S-class evaluation."
Milson's smile stiffened, and after a moment's pause, he asked, "Is he crazy?" ”
"I don't know if he's crazy or not, anyway, this new student is expected to be stared at by those little cubs for a while, until he gets the stigmata and sets the rating, hey, you say, this guy will be S?"
As if hearing some kind of bad joke, Milson tugged at his lips.
"Of course, it would be great if he went to school as an S, so that we could relax a lot of confrontation in the future, but I don't think it's realistic, that's all."
