Chapter 8: The Son of Prophecy and the Six Guardians of the Protector
Ren Xing and the others got out of the car and walked along the bluestone paved steps into the grand city hall.
As soon as you enter the town hall, there is a long corridor that stretches as far as the eye can see, and bright lights shine down from above.
On the left and right walls is a long picture scroll, which depicts all the stages that mankind has gone through since its birth, from apes to Homo sapiens, and then from the hair drinking blood to the agricultural civilization, and then the feudal period of city and military warfare, the industrial period of chimneys, and the high-rise buildings of the information age are also recorded on the scroll.
The invention of the steam engine, the two world wars, the first landing of man on the moon, and the major events in human development are also recorded.
At the end of the scroll, instead of using paint, the painter paints directly with blood, which depicts a baby growing up, croaking to the ground under the warm gaze of his parents, being picked up by a white-gloved doctor and letting out his first cry in the world.
After that, the parents took their children into a laboratory and conducted research with three other doctors on the same research that led to the destruction of the world, the Immortal Body Experiment.
The painting in the back is a little blurry to see what happened after the experiment, and at the end of the corridor, an intricately decorated wooden door appears in front of you, and on the door frame is a framed scroll with five large characters written in blood, "Eternal life cannot be sought".
Push open the door, the inside is completely different from the modern town hall kind of office space, a bit similar to the design of the interior of the palace, resplendent, carved beams and painted columns, long patterned carpet extends from the door to the golden throne, on which sits a woman, the woman has a melancholy face, dressed beautifully, and her gestures are showing nobility, although it looks weak but can give people a sense of majesty, the wise eyes look at Ren Xing, the blue and deep eyes seem to suck Ren Xing in, and the beauty is no longer enough to describe her appearance, If I had to use it as a comparison, there was only one word that matched her, angel.
This angelic woman is the leader of the human survival point in Wenhai City, Andre.
Seeing Shi Jian and a few people coming, Andr sat up straight, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Hello, newcomer, I am the leader here, the son of prophecy - Andr. Shi Jian, go back to your place. ”
Andre's voice has a gentle affinity, which can't help but increase people's affection for him.
"Yes, Lady Android." Shi Jian bowed and stood next to the throne.
Under the throne plus Shi Jian, there were six people, standing separately on both sides of the throne, these six people had different appearances, different patterns tattooed on their arms, but their eyes were the same with determination, and it could be seen that they were absolutely loyal to Andr.
Next to Andre's throne was an ornate chair with a sword-forged back and covered with weapons, and no one was seated there.
"We all know these newcomers in our information, so let's introduce yourself first."
"Shield Guard, Shi Jian." Shi Jian smiled and nodded at Ren Xing.
"Sword Guard, Duan Soul." The one who spoke was an indifferent man with an ornately decorated dagger pinned to his side.
"Yan Wei, Huo Yun, newcomers should do a lot of good work." The red-haired, hot-haired woman said enthusiastically to Ren Xing.
"Feng Wei, Feng Yao, there are good seedlings among the newcomers this year, I really want to fight with you, hehe." Although Feng Xiaoyao is a boy, he is very handsome, speaks a little milky, and has a particularly bright smile.
"Shui Wei, Shui Lingming, Duoduo... Care. Shui Lingming looked about the same age as Tu Mei, but he looked a little shy, and his eyes didn't dare to look this way.
"Poison Guard, Dugubei, I can't think of any blessings, so I wish you not to die too soon......" Dugubei's voice was a little gloomy, and the whole person was hidden under the hood, and he couldn't see what he looked like.
Ren Xing, who heard so many names at once, was a little dizzy, if it weren't for the fact that these people's personalities were relatively distinct, he probably wouldn't have been able to match his face with his name.
Observing Ren Xing's expression, Andre chuckled twice and said, "You don't need to remember the names of each of them, you just need to know that they are the six guards of the protectors, and if you encounter any difficulties in your life in the future, remember to ask them for help." ”
"Okay, Sister Andre." Ren Xing nodded and said, "By the way, Sister Andre, you just said that you are the son of prophecy?" What does that mean? Can you predict the future? ”
After hearing Ren Xing call him his sister, Andre's expression was obviously a little happier, and he replied: "It's not so magical, but occasionally I will accept some foreshadowings from God, for example, a few days ago, I dreamed of your arrival, and the prophecy also mentioned that you will be the key to bringing 'hope' back to people." ”
Ren Xing and the others were a little shocked, they did accept the task of attacking this world, but this task was only known to them, which showed that the identity of the son of Andr Prophecy was indeed true.
"Then why did you call a few of us this time?" Jin Xi, who has been silent, raised questions, and the perennial engraving honed her mind made Jin Xi remain calm and rational at all times, and her questions were just right, bringing some topics that had been deviated back on track.
But at this time, Andre looked embarrassed, and said with some hesitation: "Although I know that you are new here, and your sense of belonging to Wenhai is not so strong, there are some things I must ask you." ”
Speaking of this, Andr gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Wenhai needs you to be able to participate in the battle, to be honest, the attack of the ghosts has become more and more fierce recently, you come from the Fushan gathering place, you should also know that that there has been lost over there, and Wenhai's situation is not much better, the shortage of manpower has been very serious recently, and we really need new forces." ”
"Really, please..."At this, a tear fell from the corner of Andre's eye.
"Don't worry, Sister Andre! Leave it to us, absolutely no problem! When Ren Xing heard these words, he immediately agreed to the other party, not only because the task requires, but also because Ren Xing was by nature, and Andr accepted himself, so why didn't he help the other party.
"You stupid chicken nest head, you can't walk when you see a woman, don't you? Miss Ben won't work in vain! Tu Mei on the side vetoed Ren Xing's proposal, and at the same time squinted at the reaction of Andre.
Andr immediately understood what Tu Mei meant, "We won't let you do it for nothing, you will be paid for doing things here, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Is it okay to eat?" Tu Mei's eyes lit up a little.
"As long as the people who live with us will distribute food, don't worry about this." Andre was obviously relieved, originally the other party would put forward what unattainable demands, just how much food Wenhai City wanted.
"Okay, what do you want us to do?" Tu Mei also happily agreed, Yin Yang and Jin Xi nodded, and they also acquiesced.
"The main task is to defend the eastern front and some specific rescue and hunting missions out of the city. These will be displayed on the front mission bulletin board, and accepting and completing missions will give you contribution points, which can be exchanged for rewards at the military merit exchange. Andre explained.
"Then trouble sister, when are we leaving?" Ren Xing was a little excited, he had only fought once after unlocking the first layer of the Greed Code, and now he just wanted to experience the pleasure of running out of strength as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, stay here tonight and finish the dinner before leaving, if you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask me then." Andrew said that she was relieved that several new forces had been added to the Wenhai camp, that she was a selfless ruler, and that in her heart, the safety of Wenhai City was more important than her life.
"Yay! Big Dinner! Roast suckling pig, roast whole sheep, and most importantly, roast bunny! Tu Mei jumped up excitedly, Jin Xi also wanted to stay and learn some specific information about the world during the dinner, Yin Yang and Ren Xing didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so they agreed to stay for one night and set off the next day.
After leaving the lobby of the city hall, Shi Jian took a few people to their respective rooms to rest for an afternoon.
As night approached, the four of them arrived at the dining room on time, and at this time, the six guards were already waiting for them in the restaurant, but there was no sign of Andr in the room.
"Where's Sister Andre?" Ren Xing asked.
"Lord Android is busy with official business, how can he take the time to take care of you subordinates." Daowei Duan Soul looked unhappy, and his voice was impatient.
"Oh, don't pay attention to him, he's jealous, Sister Antar is the name he wants to call the most, but he is shy and hasn't dared to, and you took the lead before sulking there." Yan Wei Huo Yun pushed Duan Soul aside with one hand and explained to Ren Xing with a smile.
"Huo Yun, take my hand away, I called it because I respected the Android Adult, and our Protector Liuwei was selected to protect the Android Adult, how could I want to call the Elder Android Sister such a blasphemous title for the Android Adult, hum." Duan Soul turned his face away to hide his embarrassment.
"Haha, who dreamed that Sister Andre had been talking about it, and he wouldn't admit it if it was exposed." Feng Weifeng watched the excitement without thinking that it was a big deal, and continued to fan the wind and light the fire on the side.
"Do you want to fight?"
"Think, think, come on, fight, I've been itching for a long time."
"You..."
The two of them were tense and fought directly, although they were all petty fights and did not use their real skills, but Ren Xing, who was watching from the sidelines, could still directly see the strength of the two, especially the sword technique performed by the sword guard Duan Soul, which gave Ren Xing a lot of inspiration.
"These two people are still the same, you don't have to care, the food is going to be cold, let's eat quickly." Shi Jian stood up for a few people.
The table is full of exquisite meals, staple dishes and desserts, and you can see it with beautiful saliva flowing.
"Huh? Is Sister Andre really not coming? Ren Xing asked.
"Every night is Lord Android's private time, we have no right to ask, and Lord Android is still working in the palace when she leaves, not sure if she can come." Shi Jian replied.
"Don't worry about these, eat quickly, these dishes are all made by Shui Lingming herself, she knows that you are coming, but she is very happy to prepare it." Huo Yun patted Shui Lingming's head on the side and said.
Shui Wei Shui Lingming's face was flushed with a red cloud, and he tugged at the corner of Huo Yun's clothes and whispered: "Don't talk about Sister Huo Yun!" ”
Poison guard Dugubei picked up the wine glass, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "I can't think of any blessings, so I wish everyone no poison in their meals."
Hearing this blessing, Ren Xing felt that the food in front of him suddenly became unfragrant.
The party continued, and the relationship between several people continued to get closer, the drunken Tu Mei began to call Shui Lingming on the side a brother, Ren Xing also talked with Feng Xiaoyao, feeling very compatible with the other party, Yin Yang showed the side of an old naughty boy, teasing Dugubei, who was not good at words.
Jin Xi didn't stick to the wine, but simply filled his empty stomach, and began to inquire about the news from Huo Yun, who was sitting next to him, "Why do you call those who infect the hope cells 'ghosts', according to it, those people are more like zombies or monsters." ”
Huo Yun didn't hide it, and explained: "It was Lord Android who asked us to call it that, because she told us that even if they were infected with hope cells, they were all human beings, and now their consciousness has been taken to other places, and they are like ghosts wandering in the world, so we call them 'ghosts'." ”
"Well, so that's the case, so do they still have memories of their lives or human consciousness?" Jin Xi asked.
"Well, different ghosts are different, there are three levels of ghosts, weak ghosts, ghost chiefs, and ghost kings. Weak ghosts have no consciousness or memory, they act completely on instinct. Ghost elders, I've seen seven or eight hundred ghost elders, and although most of them have a sense of battle, they don't have emotions and memories.
As for the ghost king,That's the existence of legends.,There are only three ghost kings in total.,Under normal circumstances, the ghost king will only stay by the side of 'hope' as a guard.,Legend has it that they have a complete memory and reason before their death.,It's just that their behavior will be controlled by 'hope'.,But that's just a legend.,I haven't really seen the ghost king.。 Huo Yun recalled diligently.
"Alas, if only all this hadn't happened." Jin Xi was a little sad.
"Yes, but I believe that everything will be fine, we have Lord Android and Lord Hero, we will definitely be able to defeat 'hope', and one day, we will let hope return to the hands of mankind!" Huo Yun's eyes flashed, and her belief was firm.
"Well, there will be this day!" Jin Xi nodded, "Also, who is the hero king you just mentioned?" ”。
"Alas, your curiosity is really stubborn, did you see another throne next to Lord Android today, that is reserved for Lord Hero, King Liszt, he is Lord Android's husband, a man who can be called invincible, when you go to the front line, you will see him, he is in command over there." Huo Yun patiently explained to the curious baby Jin Xi.
"I'll definitely help you." Jin Xi made a rare promise. She felt that the person sitting opposite her at the moment was not the data synthesized by the brain, but a real person with flesh and blood, and if she had the opportunity, she would like to establish a deeper friendship with the other party.
"One more plate!" Tu Mei shouted while chewing rabbit meat while hugging Shui Lingming beside her.
"Hahaha...."The banquet continued happily, and everyone temporarily left their mission and tasks behind, enjoying a moment of joy and happiness.
After two hours, everyone was ready to go back to their rooms to rest, after all, the next day they were going to start fighting on the front line, and the six guards had to finish their work, and everyone said goodbye and walked out of the cafeteria.
On his way back to the room, Ren Xing needed to pass by Andre's office, so Ren Xing took the opportunity to take a look inside and found that Andre was not inside, and he didn't know where she had gone.
Ren Xing didn't think too much, maybe the other party was too tired after a busy day to rest, thinking about this, Ren walked back to his room and fell asleep.
The soft light shone through the gap in the curtains into Ren Xing's house, Ren Xing, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened his eyes, it was already half past eight, and there was still half an hour before the time agreed with others, Ren Xing quickly got up and washed, did some muscle exercise, and rushed to the conference hall.
The others had already arrived, and Andr personally saw them off for Ren Xing, and after a brief goodbye, Ren Xing and the four of them were once again driven to the front by Shi Jian.
Immediately about to participate in the fight and battle again, Ren Xing's inner excitement could not be suppressed at all, and he secretly swore in his heart, "This time I will, fight to the end!" ”
