Chapter 55: Sprout (Ask for Support)
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it.
I saw that the surface of Gu Zun's body was also covered with small black spiders, and these spiders were still crawling on the surface of his body, and some even burrowed under the skin.
However, what is more strange is that he can't even feel the slightest bit of spider existence. Even if you touch it with your hands, you can only touch your own skin, and the small spiders lying on your stomach are densely packed on it, and you can't touch it at all.
It's like an illusory energy body.
Looking at these little spiders, the uneasiness in my heart began to grow.
You must not let these things stay on you for too long. These things resemble the pollution of some powerful seed of storytelling.
With a movement of his mind, the power of the Flame Seed was stimulated, and transparent flames spread all over his body.
In an instant, the little black spider was incinerated to the sky.
During this time, he could faintly hear the screams and crackling explosions of the spiders being burned.
As all the little black spiders covering his body were incinerated, Gu Zun's figure that had originally disappeared in the mirror slowly emerged in it.
Everything is back to normal.
"What the hell is that thing?"
Gu Zun let out a long breath, looked at Yuan Ziyi again and asked.
"The Gate of Dead Water, one of my abilities."
"It is possible to quickly transfer between two places through a pre-set location, with a certain distance limit."
"As for the condition inside the passage......"
Yuan Ziyi's voice paused, and then looked at his left arm, at this moment, the big black spider had eaten and drunk enough, and fell back into flesh and blood.
Her face was a little complicated, and she was silent for a moment before she said, "That's the spider nest...... It's ...... situation."
"I'll tell you later."
For some reason, Yuan Ziyi wanted to speak and stopped, what he wanted to say, but in the end he didn't say it.
"Okay, come with me, it's important to get you into the job first."
"We can't hide our actions for long."
Yuan Ziyi said, pulling Gu Zun towards the laboratory.
"Now that you're here, you can know the name of our department."
"It's called Sprout!"
"Sprout?"
Gu Zun was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that the organization of the Huaguo Story Driver would be called Sprout.
He also thought it was called such and such a department, such and such a company, or the dragon wind group or something.
I didn't expect it to be such a fresh and refined, ordinary name that could not be more ordinary.
"yes, sprout."
"The beginning of everything, the beginning of everything, is the prelude to all stories."
"Remember what I said? We are the story drivers, the drivers of the stories, but we are also following the stories. Each of us is a story. In this dangerous world, we are the germ of the story and the only hope of China. β
"Silently guarding behind all human beings, facing this terrifying world alone. If you die, you will fail to sprout, or one day it will sprout and grow into a towering tree. Shelter others from the elements. β
Yuan Ziyi's tone was calm, as if she was narrating a very ordinary thing.
But Gu Zun was a little heavy when he heard it.
Although the word sprout is simple, it also has a thousand powers. This way of guarding others and paying silently until death, he admires, but he doesn't like it.
Joke, he is a man with infinite charm, how can he be willing to be behind the scenes?
Don't pretend to be forced, I'd rather die!
This is his life credo.
"Okay, stand inside, don't move."
"Follow the command."
Gu Zun followed Yuan Ziyi's instructions and stood in a huge study building similar to a book.
There are a lot of books stored in it. Most of them are stories of all kinds, such as a collection of stories, a collection of mythological stories, fairy tales of the world, dark myths, fables, legends, and even some classic novels and so on.
Densely packed, there are thousands of copies.
After Gu Zun entered, the light in the study suddenly dimmed.
"Unleash the breath of the seed of the story you harness."
Yuan Ziyi's voice sounded.
Suddenly, the blazing, hot twisted aura that made her scalp tingle rose from Gu Zun's body.
As if shaken by Gu Zun's breath, countless books flew out of the bookshelf without the slightest gravitational pull, floating and dancing in the void.
Some are high, some are low.
They floated beside Gu Zun, rotating in a circle.
A moment later, several of them landed on the ground.
And the other flying books are back in their original places.
"Look at the ones that fell to the ground, how many are there? What's their name? β
Yuan Ziyi's voice sounded again.
Gu Zun looked at the books under his feet and counted a total of five, namely: "Kunlun Fan", "Scorching Sea", "The Undead", "I Have Charm Worth Thousands", "Ancient Mythology"
Hearing the numbers and titles of Gu Zunbao, Yuan Ziyi was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to be able to see the situation inside the study, and could only know the information inside by asking.
"Five? How can there be so many related stories? β
"You...... It's not reasonable! β
She recorded it on the file, and the kind of story is related to the story: five books
The names are: ......
"What's the closest one to you?"
Gu Zun looked around, and said with a hint of strangeness on his face: "Yuan Ziyi, let me ask you a question?" β
"What?"
"Is there a case where five books are stacked on top of each other?"
Well?
Yuan Ziyi was stunned again, five books stacked on top of each other? And this kind of thing?
It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year.
Continuing to write on the archives:
Fit: Five books, overlapping equal, weird state, and the fit of related stories is unknown.
"Do you have a book that you can open?"
Yuan Ziyi frowned and commanded Gu Zun again. Then the latter quickly told her that she could not open a single book.
It was an inexplicable situation that she had never encountered before.
After thinking about it, he wrote a line on the last file form.
Seed of Story: Unknown type, suspected to be a story that has been lost in ancient times. Looking at the story books involved, it may be related to stories such as Kunlun, the undead, and the blazing flame. According to the driver's description, the name of the Flame Zombie Seed is tentatively named.
"Alright, come out."
"Your basic information has been entered into the central computer, and you are now a budding reservist. Now test your specific strengths, as well as the degree of compatibility of the seed of the story and the degree of pollution erosion. β
Yuan Ziyi beckoned Gu Zun out of the study, while explaining to him the information about fit and pollution erosion.
- The seed of the story will pollute and erode the storyteller. In the same way, the two also cooperate with each other and run in, which is the degree of fit.
ββThe higher the degree of compatibility between the story master, the lower the degree of pollution erosion, and of course, the greater the strength that can be exerted.
The first two are inversely proportional.
However, pollution erosion is a cumulative process, no matter how high the fit is, even if you don't use the power of the story seed, it will be slowly polluted, and eventually reach the point of getting out of control.
This is also an irreversible process.
Testing these two degrees can only be assessed by Yuan Ziyi himself, including Gu Zun's specific strength.
It's just that at this moment, the door of the laboratory, which was originally closed, suddenly opened.
A group of people walked in.
"I'll take the induction strength test for new members."
"I suppose you won't mind, Miss Yuan!"
A beautiful woman like Yuan Ziyi walked in slowly.
Behind her, followed by everyone from the Sprout Branch of District 37, as well as the man in red and the woman in white.
Similarly, Shi Kuan is also impressively listed.
