Chapter 10. The gears of fate
"Okay, Jack wants to open a bit, we'll be together in the future, but what should I call you when you're over eighty?" Ah Xun was a little confused.
"Call me Daddy!" Jack replied cheekily.
"you, bad old man!" Ah Xun sighed.
Wataru: "Hey, don't you think it's strange? There are about 100 people here, so many of them have passed the test tonight? It's kind of weird. ”
"This is from the first day to tonight, and all the people who passed the exam are here." Jack replied quietly.
Xun: "Why is the guy who passed before here at night?" ”
Jack: "It's related to the third test, which is to get to know each other, so at the same time as the evening test, the participants who passed the second test will wait here with the examiner, just like they are waiting for us newcomers tonight." ”
Wataru: "Do you want us to get acquainted with each other?" Isn't the third game a competition between candidates? “
Xun: "I can't guess, I'll know when the time comes, Jack, the suit thug you said, that's your enemy, will you still take revenge?" ”
Ah Xun's words have two meanings, the first is to determine whether Jack still wants to take revenge, and the second is whether we will need us to help you together since we are companions.
"I thank you very much for answering my father's question, I naturally want to take revenge, but don't worry, I also said that we are in a relationship of mutual cooperation, and if you can't cooperate, I won't force you to do something you don't want to, this is my answer."
Jack's answer is contradictory, he wants to avenge his mother, but he can't be alone, this is his current situation, so when he heard Ah Xun invite him as a companion, although he wanted to save face and said that it was a partnership, but in fact? He is also willing to do this, he needs a companion, and he is the kind of companion who can rely on life and death, he can stick a knife in both sides for his companion, but at the same time, his partner must also be sincere, he is such a real person.
"That's it! Everybody! Fifteen candidates passed the second session tonight! Plus the previous one hundred and thirty-seven, for a total of one hundred and fifty-two! You can go back and rest tonight and continue tomorrow night. Instructor Yuri interrupted the conversation and announced the end of tonight's exams.
"Hey, where are we going to rest? Yatz, this kid is still asleep! Ah Xun asked.
"I'll take you there, there is a building outside the concentration camp that is a perfect place for the candidates to rest, and we prisoners also rest in the building during the day before going to work in the rotting forest at eight o'clock at night." Jack answered Ah Xun's question.
"Wake up, don't sleep!" Ah Xun shook Yatz's body.
"Oh, where is this? Did I pass the test? Yatz woke up a little surprised that he was lucky enough to run into them.
Xun: "We're going to the camp building, I'll help you be careful!" ”
Jack: "Wait and so on, you need a license plate to open the house, all three of you can open it except me." ”
Xun: "Two rooms are enough, I also bought two decks of playing cards in Solo City, wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to fight a landlord or something!" ”
Watar: "You're so leisurely, have you forgotten what you're here for?" Ah Xun. ”
Xun: "Isn't there a third exam, don't you want to think so much about it, and when it's all over, you'll naturally understand, rest assured, Adu!" ”
Suddenly! Ah Xun's face changed, and he felt a hint of danger.
"What's wrong with Ah Xun? Did you sense something? Du grabbed Ah Xun's arm and asked with concern.
"I didn't ...... It's okay! Ah Xun patted Du's hand and signaled that he was okay, don't worry.
At that moment, the four of them came to the concentration camp building and settled down.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning after taking a shower, and the four of them were ready to go to bed. (Jack half-vampire also needs to rest)
The next day, Yats formally thanked a few people.
"Thank you very much, everyone, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been here at all, maybe I was eaten by a strange beast now, not necessarily, in short, thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity!"
"I didn't help you with anything, little ghost, don't count me in." Jack said coldly, after all, he only recognized Ah Xun and Du as companions, and he was not interested in where this guy came from.
"It's okay, but you should only be fifteen or sixteen years old, did you come to the concentration camp so early?" Ah Xun asked Yats as he prepared for the poker.
"Well, I'm from an orphanage near Grand City, and people like us who were adopted by the orphanage since we were children will also teach us the cultivation of spiritual power, so when we are about the same age, we will be arranged to participate in a concentration camp, and each person who participates in the orphanage will receive a grant, so ......"
Xun: "So you're here?" ”
Yats: "Hmm......"
Xun: "Yatz, don't force yourself too much, you have something to take care of each other." ”
Ah Xun actually felt that Yatz's strength couldn't pass the second assessment at all, and he helped him, but what about the subsequent assessment? It still takes strength to speak.
Xun: "Do you play poker?" ”
Du: "Ah Xun, we are also going to the gate of the concentration camp tonight, we have to pay attention to the fact that most of the other candidates who can come here are not simple spiritual power users, and we must be more careful about the next road!" ”
Jack: "That's right, even though those guys aren't as good as me right now, there are still some guys with good qualifications who might be able to fight me if they're trained here!" ”
It seems that everyone has no intention of playing poker, Ah Xun looked at Jack, thinking in his heart that this guy has lived for more than 80 years, and his spiritual power cultivation is several times that of himself, can a guy like Jack really surpass him? He was a little confused......
"I'll go out and breathe." Ah Xun left the building after speaking.
He walked in confusion on the grassy path outside the concentration camp, the scenery here was really good, giving people a sense of comfort, but what was last night...... Suddenly sensed the existence of the living dead, is it because of his own mental problems? All of a sudden, a vampire and a living dead, although it was only a short moment, but it was different from Jack's looming, at that moment he was very sure that this feeling was the living dead, but this feeling disappeared after a few seconds, could he be mistaken?
Ah Xun looked at his palms and was still thinking about his recollections......
"Hey, little ghost, don't you mess around here anymore, don't you want to stay in the building quietly!" A short man suddenly appeared behind Ah Xun, and Ah Xun didn't feel it at all.
"Who are you!" Ah Xun asked in horror.
Who is Shorty? That's right, it's Cain! He squinted his eyes and laughed, but the high neckline covered half of his face, and this laughter made Ah Xun feel panicked.
"Moon Shadow, the logistics teacher of the concentration camp, is also Cain III, the companion of the silver fox Fesellen! Got it, boy! ”
"What! Are you my father's companion? Where's my father? Cain's answer shocked Ah Xun, he didn't expect that the little man in front of him actually knew his father.
"Remember to be here at nine o'clock tonight, I'll wait for you, I have what your father left you and a request!" After saying that, Cain disappeared in an instant.
、
Ah Xun's head stopped thinking, although it was only a conversation of less than a minute, but it was really too much information for himself.
"Ah Xun, what are you doing here alone?" Wataru and Jack walked over.
Ah Xun hadn't reacted yet, "Huh? Oh! It's okay, it's okay......"
Ah Xun rethought what had just happened.
"Adujack will accompany me here at night and wait for someone!" Ah Xun said.
Wataru reacted suddenly, "Is there any news about that?" ”
"That's right, I've just met with my father." Ah Xun replied with his chin propped.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Who are you waiting for at night? Jack had a question mark on his face.
Wataru: "There are other reasons why we are here, Jack should accompany Ah Xun to do something at night." ”
Jack: "Of course! But can you tell me what the hell is going on? ”
After that, Ah Xun and Du told Jack what had happened from Ten Mile Town to the present......
"I didn't expect you to have such a complicated story, it seems that you can get the result you want tonight." Jack comforted Ah Xun.
Xun: "It's tonight!" ”
In the evening, after the three of them had settled the wounded, Yats waited for Cain to appear in the old place.
"Boy, you actually brought someone here!" Cain appeared out of the night, and the candidates all went to the gate of the concentration camp to assemble, and at that moment Azun, Wataru, Jack, and Cain gathered in a corner of the grassy path.
"These two are my companions, if there is something to do, just say it together, they know my business." Ah Xun replied.
"Well, this is what your father deposited with me." With that, Cain placed the black suitcase in his hand on the ground.
Cain: "Inside is the Holy Cross of Glory, one of the Ten Hallows!" It's both a holy weapon and an armament! This is also the holy weapon inherited by the family of St. John, one of the twelve disciples, and you must make good use of it! ”
"You know about the Twelve! What else do you know? Where is my father? Why didn't he come and see it himself? Ah Xun asked eagerly.
"He's missing, and even our organization has been looking for him, but I can tell you something about him, or you'll have a hard time trusting me!" Cain said, sticking into his pocket.
"When the Messiah was captured by the Empire, your father was out on errands, so he saved his life, but he also found the president of our organization in desperation, and promised to join the organization, he wanted to avenge the Messiah's compatriots, and the old guy Datai admired your father very much and failed to win over him several times, and now he sent it to the door himself, of course, he can't ask for it."
"But the old man didn't let him be in charge of other things, only asked him to find the whereabouts of the Divine Monument, when Yahehua made weapons, he consumed a lot of rare gold (rare metal), and this kind of overdraft of resources eventually paid a price, that is, the shortage of metal resources now affects all walks of life, and eventually leads to the current empire's economy has been in a bubble."
"But Ya and Hua are a shrewd man, and legend has it that he found a large amount of rare gold in a certain place on the continent to supply the needs of the entire empire now, and then he made a map to that place into twenty-four stone tablets, which were almost impossible to destroy after special processing, and he left twelve disciples to keep them at that time."
Xun: "Why is my father missing?" Where is that place called? What happened to Ahwah and the Twelve? Where did the steles go? What the hell is going on with all this!!??? ”
It's true that this amount of information is a bit large, and Ah Xun sat on the ground at a loss, and Du and Jack also stiffened and didn't react.
"That place is called Dream!"
"As for where your father is, I don't know, you don't need to know anything else now, according to your father and the organization, you have to go through a year of training here, and then find a way to enter the imperial military department and collect intelligence as a spy of the organization." Cain said the purpose of having Ah Xun here.
"No kidding, you deceived me for no reason! Then tell me that my father is missing, and Ya and Hua, the disciples, the stone tablet, and the dream are all a few words with no beginning and no end! Are you going to teach me how to do things! Ah Xun was very angry now, and he got up from the ground and rushed to vent, he had to teach the little man in front of him a lesson!
And Cain saw that this kid couldn't accept too much information at once, and now I'm afraid it's hard to talk about it, "Then I'll let you calm down!" ”
Suddenly, two figures subdued him from behind Cain, along with Wataru and Jack, and the four people who suddenly appeared did not show any breath, and even Jack, a young man in his eighties, did not notice.
"No more kidding!" As soon as Jack broke free from the man's restraints, his companion was threatened that he could not attack Cain without a single blow of the rushing flying leg.
"I'm going to make it impossible for you to get up!" Jack is menacing.
"Bang !!" Cain crossed his hands in an X-shaped defensive formation to block the onslaught, and Jack couldn't believe that his full force had only kicked the dwarf back seven or eight meters.
He was not reconciled! Get ready to fire on all cylinders! With his vampire physique and unique equipment, can't he deal with you little man?
"If you are so unscrupulous, you are welcome!" Although Cain took Jack's flying kick, he was afraid that he would suffer a loss because he was a living dead body.
"Okay, don't fight yet, Ah Xun, calm down! At least you shouldn't be an enemy! Wataru was held hostage and said a word, so that everyone had a step down the ladder with each other.
"Let your people let go of me and Adu, no matter what, one thing and one thing, if it is reasonable, I will consider it." Ah Xun expressed his attitude
"Isn't this attitude very good, you are the son of my companion, and I will not harm you." Immediately, all four of them calmed down and prepared for the next negotiations.
"Let's talk about this Ten Hallows first! This is your father's gift to you, Ah Xun. ”
Then the gears of destiny began to move from the Ten Hallows...... (To be continued)
