Chapter 289: Phantom of the Human Demon!
"What are you asking for?"
Hearing this question, Qiu Mengyue glanced at Chen Chong strangely, thought about it and said in a low voice:
"Among the three major leaders, the best at fighting is undoubtedly the leader of the two divisions of war and defense, and no matter what kind of disasters and tests have been carried out in these years, these two departments have charged into battle to protect the safety of the refuge area. Although I can remember how I have seen the leader of the Ministry of Justice make a move, I think that in terms of strength, the leader of our War Department is superior. ”
Chen Chong's eyebrows moved: "That...... What level of boundary is our leader?"
There was a hint of suspicion in Qiu Mengyue's beautiful eyes:
"The leader was already a third-order boundary person five or six years ago, and now no one knows how far he has come, what happened to you today? ”
"Nothing, nothing, just curious. ”
Chen Chong hurriedly snorted:
"I was just wondering when I was going to get to that point. ”
"How dare you say that. ”
Qiu Mengyue couldn't help but glance at him, and snorted softly:
"The higher the gene lock stage, the gap between them and the time and mental strength required are huge, although your innate ability can be said to be the top of the top, but you are still 108,000 miles away from the boundary, thinking about this problem now is the same as thinking about flying if you don't know how to run. ”
Yes, I was taught a lesson by this chick again.
Chen Chong shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
The two continued to talk for a few minutes, and soon other high-level leaders in the banquet hall arrived one after another, and when the high-level leaders of the two departments of war and defense were almost all there, the three top leaders of Xing Zhan, Xiongkun, and Si Chengxiu also entered the banquet hall with a hug.
"Hello three leaders!"
Seeing the three of them appear, all the high-level officials stood up respectfully to greet them, and Xing Zhan waved his hand:
"Just sit down. ”
The three leaders came to the main seat and sat down, and the others also sat down one after another according to the information, and Chen Chong, who was the most junior in seniority, sat in the last position.
After everyone took their seats, a young and beautiful waitress soon rushed in, and put on the table a series of exquisite, very luxurious dishes, and these dishes are not ordinary big fish and meat, but made of various spiritual fruits, rare and different species, in addition to the aroma of gluttonous insects, Chen Chong can also feel the essence of life that is not there, which can be called luxury.
Even the wine poured by the waiter is a spiritual fruit wine that is crystal clear and exudes a refreshing aroma.
However, Chen Chong didn't bother to pay attention to these things, but his eyes were obscure, and from time to time he looked at Si Chengxiu on the left side of the torture battle with the corner of his eye.
The main god light ball in his mind exuded restlessness and longing, but the head of the Ministry of Political Affairs was obviously unaware of Chen Chong, and was still talking to Xing Zhan and Xiongkun in a low voice, and beside him sat a young man with glasses and a polite manner, also wearing a high-level standard military uniform, who seemed to be the only second-order controller in the Ministry of Affairs.
"Alright. ”
In just a few minutes, a huge table was filled with twenty or thirty dishes, and Xing Zhan gently knocked on the edge of the table, raised the wine glass in front of him, and looked around:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the division has worked hard for the development of the refuge area, and even did not hesitate to take risks himself, crossing the wilderness to the northern theater of operations to seek well-being, this first cup, we respect him!"
"Honoring the Chief!"
The eight high-level executives present raised their glasses in unison and drank them all.
"You're welcome, the Silver Ring Vault is our home, and as the head of the Ministry of Administration, I should be. ”
Si Chengxiu also drank in return, then put down the wine glass, looked around, and his eyes suddenly stayed on Chen Chong's body:
"Huh, he's ......."
"Old man, I was going to introduce you in a moment. ”
Xing Zhan took over the conversation and laughed:
"This kid is the Chen Chong I told you, and he is also the most outstanding genius in our war department. Based on what I've seen and heard, the new humans who can compare with this kid's natural ability so far are no more than a slap in the face, and I believe that even if this kid is placed in the Northern Theater, he will definitely not be inferior to those Chosen One!"
Chen Chong bowed slightly to Si Chengxiu.
The words of the torture battle were loud, and they fell on the ears of the other high-level people present, all of which made their expressions change slightly. Except for Qiu Mengyue and other high-level officials of the War Department, none of them thought that Xing Zhan, the strongest new human in the refuge area, would give Chen Chong such a high evaluation!
They all know exactly what kind of existence the Chosen One is. Before the official announcement of the appointment by the Ministry of War, they could almost say that they knew nothing about Chen Chong, even if all kinds of gossip made them pay enough attention to Chen Chong, a figure who had sprung up, but the fancy in and out of the words of the criminal war was still beyond their imagination.
A trace of imperceptible brilliance flashed in Si Chengxiu's deep eyes, and there was a smile on his handsome face that was faintly vicissitudes, and he praised: "Sure enough, it is terrifying." ”
Xiongkun sighed on the side and said: "Speaking of which, it was still discovered early by the old criminal, otherwise this story of Bole and Maxima might be changed to Bole, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Xing Zhan suddenly laughed: "It's too late to regret it! Okay, everyone move their chopsticks, don't be restrained!"
The introduction of Chen Chong is just a small episode, you come and go on the table, many high-level people are long-sleeved and good at dancing, and soon the topic began to shift, so it was not lively.
Chen Chong is not good at this kind of thing, and he is not interested in this kind of thing. He was silent, just eating at the rare luxury dishes on the table, making Qiu Mengyue's eyelids jump straight away, and he ordered him several times in private.
Of course, Chen Chong more or less took into account the feelings of the people on the table, otherwise he let go of the twenty or thirty dishes on the table, which may not be enough.
"Old man, how did this trip go?"
After the greetings, entering the topic, Xiongkun seemed to remember something:
"Also, how did you stay in the Northern Theater for so long?"
Si Chengxiu put down the tableware unhurriedly, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said slowly:
"This trip has been delayed for two or three months, and you must be curious about me why I haven't been returning for so long, right? I can tell you that during this period of time, not only us, but all those who came to other gathering places in the northern theater of operations have all been restricted from their freedom and are not allowed to return. ”
"And the reason is very simple, that is, there are human demons again in the northern war zone!"
As soon as the words man and demon came out, the movements of everyone present were abrupt, including Chen Chong, and the banquet hall that was originally staggered instantly fell into a death-like silence.
Unlike ordinary transcendents, humans and demons are things, and most of the high-level people present have heard or even experienced them firsthand, and naturally know how terrifying this almost indistinguishable existence, but feeding on human souls, is.
Xing Zhan immediately asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, but the Northern Theater didn't reveal much to us outsiders. ”
Si Chengxiu's eyes were gloomy:
"It was the second week after we arrived in the Northern Theater of Operations when we were being watched by the War Department's inspectors. It happened very suddenly, and I later learned that there was a whole half story in the outer 12th Outer Sector of the Northern War Zone, and a total of eight ordinary laborers died silently overnight. ”
Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Si Chengxiu said lightly:
"That's right, as you think, these people's deaths are strange, and there are no external injuries, after being verified by special means in the northern theater, the probability of determining that the human demon did it is more than ninety percent. ”
"But that's just the beginning of things. In the following time, almost every half a month, the northern theater will find strange corpses again, and the number is increasing, more and more, dozens, twenty, thirty...... And each time the corpse appeared in a different area. By the time we left, almost half of the 12 major regions outside the Northern Theater had experienced strange deaths, with a total of 238 deaths. ”
"And that's just the number of people we've died in less than three months there. More than 200 people, all of them turned into food for the life cultivation of this human demon. ”
In the banquet hall, the lights were bright, and after Si Chengxiu's words fell, a chill surged out of the hearts of everyone present for no reason. Rao is Chen Chong is now hard-hearted, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping slightly when he heard the news of such a human hunting and eating humans.
"Chief. ”
Chen Chong couldn't help frowning and asked:
"I heard that there are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons in the Northern War Zone, and new human powerhouses are emerging in an endless stream, can't they find out this human demon?"
"Otherwise, how can we say that humans and demons are the mortal enemies of all survivors?"
Si Chengxiu sighed softly:
"In the Northern War Zone, the population is dense, with more than one million, even if a fourth-order transcendent, human god of war has the incredible power to destroy mountains and mountains, what can he do?"
"This human demon is terrifyingly smart. He had never repeated a crime twice in a large region so far, and he had always chosen the weakest and weakest of ordinary people to attack, because there was not a single new human among the people who died. In addition, every time there was a crime scene, there was no trace left, no traces, no traces, no traces, no footprints that could be verified, no smell, just like a ghost. ”
"It is precisely because of this that until we left, this human demon still did not show any flaws, and it has not been caught yet, and no one knows how many people will die in the northern war zone in the end. ”
Si Chengxiu's faint sigh echoed in the banquet hall, and everyone present was silent, with a sense of kinship.
The human demon is the absolute mortal enemy of the survivors, and they believe that with the size and heritage of the northern war zone, they will eventually be able to destroy this human demon. However, just like the humans and demons that the Silver Ring Vault once encountered, they don't know how many more people will die before they can finally find out such a catastrophe.
Chen Chong's eyes rolled, breaking the silence and asking:
"Si Leader, if this human demon is cunning enough and cautious enough to keep the Northern Theater of Operations uncaught, in case he devours enough human souls and reaches the level of the fourth order, who else can deal with it at that time?"
However, in the face of Chen Chong's questioning, Si Chengxiu, Xing Zhan, and Xiongkun all looked at him strangely.
"Chen Chong, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for humans and demons to reach the fourth order. ”
Xing Zhan smiled:
"It's a cutting-edge research secret, and you may not know it very well. The Fourth Order is already another dimension of existence in the new humans, and it is rumored that they must undergo an unprecedented life transformation before they can be called the Transcendent, the human god of war. However, although humans and demons have the terrifying advantage of feeding on other people's souls and evolving rapidly, once they dare to take the step of life transformation, they will collapse genetically on the spot and turn into a bunch of unconscious organic matter and proteins. ”
This kind of statement is also an idea put forward by scientists in the northern theater of operations in the past two years, and in fact the facts have indeed proved it. So far, whether it is the Northern War Zone or other extraordinarily large gathering places, I have never heard of a fourth-order human demon appearing. ”
In other words, the most powerful human demon can't exceed the third order?
Chen Chong was suddenly stunned.
At the same time, he also thought that according to the characteristics of ultra-fast self-healing and complete invincibility at the same level, a third-order human demon could only be dealt with by more than three third-order boundary people, and the threat was still incomparable.
At this time, seeing that the atmosphere was depressed and gloomy, the torture war waved his hand: "Okay, don't mention this, the Northern Theater can solve this matter, and it is not our turn to worry about them for the time being!"
All the high-level officials said yes one after another, so the topic of human and demon stopped, no one mentioned it again, and the atmosphere on the table became warm again.
Only Chen Chong, although he was still eating Haisai with his head down, the corner of his eyes couldn't help but float towards the head of the Ministry of Political Affairs, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart:
The so-called human demons in this world...... Is it possible that it has something to do with the main god shard?
