In the Zhuqing Zhai of Lancheng Lianyuan, Lan Lan sat on the couch, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite her was recalling a past incident that happened in the Ninth Prison of Huaxia 25 years ago.

Every ten years, the Nine Eunuchs will hold a clan election, select potential descendants in each family, and send them to a secret place for training.

Like all big families training talents, the selection of the Nine Eunuchs is very strict, and the loss rate is maintained at more than 10% every time. The children who are eligible to be selected for training are not ordinary people, and any one of them is a leader in various industries or the most potential newcomer.

Such a loss rate is quite terrifying.

But it was in this cruel way that the Nine Prisons remained immortal for thousands of years.

The six-member group led by Black Nine is seen as a strong contender for the final victory of this ethnic election.

But just a year before the clan election began, Heihuai, who was in the fourth line of the team, accidentally obtained an important clue, this clue is an item, an important item related to the fate of the Nine Prisons in the next thousand years, Heihuai did not hide his secrets, and shared the news with the whole team members, as well as the teacher Hei Jiu.

This item was too tempting, and after several people discussed, they decided to find it according to the information provided in the clues, and the effort paid off, and half a year later, Heihuai and Mercury were the first to find this item.

"What is this item?" Lan Lan was stunned in her heart, and a picture flashed in her mind, she hurriedly asked Hei Eighty-Eight, wanting to hear the accurate answer from the other party's mouth.

But she was disappointed, if it was really as described in the mouth of the fourth senior uncle, Hei Eighty-eight, that item was related to the fate of the entire Nine Prisons, how could she easily say it to others.

Hei Eighty-Eight shook his head, with a regretful and puzzled expression on his face, and explained: "I'm sorry, when I found that item, there were only Hei Huai and Mercury Xing'er, and even the teacher Hei Jiu didn't know what that item was and what it looked like. ”

Soon after, the team members heard that the black locust was missing, and rumors spread, and some people believed that the black locust had hidden the item.

"And then?" Lan Lan asked.

"Later we heard that the black locust was hunted down. The team members quickly rushed to the Black Locust, but no matter what we did, we couldn't kill the monster that was chasing the Black Locust. Thinking of the scene when Hei Huai was chased by that monster, Hei Eighty-eight still had palpitations.

"Monsters? Not a killer? ”

"Alas, we didn't expect that it was not the people of the various family forces who chased and killed the black locust, but a monster."

Several senior brothers and sisters knew that Hei Huai was being chased and killed, and immediately rushed to the place he said, but nine times out of ten, their battle was over, and with Hei Huai's skills at that time, there was no way to take that monster, even if a few people arrived, it would be useless.

The black locust can't kill the other party no matter what way it does, so it can only escape.

But no matter how Heihuai escapes or where he flees, he can't get out of the other party's lock.

In this way, they fought for almost half a year. Black locust, it's your fourth uncle who is exhausted. ”

Lan Lan asked again: "Second Master, your Hei family is an ancient martial arts family, and you can't beat that monster together?" No matter how bad it is, there are still weapons. There are knives, and with the strength of our nine eunuchs, it is easy to get a hot weapon, why? ”

Hei Eighty-Eight sighed repeatedly, with a very annoyed expression on his face. Several senior brothers and even the teacher Hei Jiu thought so at first, no one took that monster seriously, and thought it was a good object for practice, but after a few times, they finally found out the seriousness of the problem.

Not only is it durable, it can't be killed by all means, but it can also ignore all physical defenses.

"Ignoring physical defenses? It can't be that thing, right? SCP-096？ ”

Lan Lan was startled, remembering the content of the live broadcast in the live broadcast room of Hei Yuan a few days ago, SCP-096, a shy person.

This time, Hei Hao, who had been silent and expressionless on the side, spoke: "Yes, that's it." It can ignore all physical defenses, and it can't shoot to death, starve or die, or die of exhaustion. Once their faces are observed, they will hunt them down endlessly. I was, uh, I mean, the black locust was locked on when I saw the creature's face, and I was hunted down all the time. ”

In terms of blood relationship, Hei Huai is a distant cousin of Hei Hao.

Lan Lan was so shocked that she couldn't utter any syllables. Although she experienced an incredible disappearance event firsthand, she had never seen any of the SCP Foundation's containment objects in the true sense of the word. It was the first time she had heard of someone around her who had come into contact with such a thing.

"Fortunately, the speed of the monster is not fast, it can only be maintained at more than 30 kilometers, we have cars, we have planes, and we can barely get rid of it for a while. At that time, your fourth uncle was temporarily out of battle with the help of transportation and arranged a rear hand. ”

Hei Eighty-Eight couldn't stop sighing, but he held back the mixed thoughts in his heart and told Lan Lan what had happened in detail.

At that time, the fifth junior sister Mercury was 8 months pregnant, and it was the time when Heihuai needed to be accompanied and taken care of, in order to prevent danger from getting close to their mother and son, Heihuai has not stayed near Mercury's place to give birth."

In the end, their teacher, Hei Jiu, thought of a solution.

At that time, it was close to the election of the Nine Prison Clan, and there was a big secret hidden in the Nine Prison Clan's land, and powerful creatures were sleeping in the most secret place of the clan land. Black Nine thought that the creature could easily kill the monster. He discussed with Heihuai to borrow the power of the clan to kill the monsters.

"In the end they succeeded, but ......"

"But what?" Lan Lan almost knew the identities of Black Locust and Mercury, and she thought of a terrible consequence. Can't wait to see the results.

"Alas, in the battle, my fourth junior brother Heihuai died, and Mercury on the other side who learned the news of his lover's death was overly sad and angry, their child was born early, and Mercury also passed away after giving birth to that child because of dystocia......"

Lan Lan's face was already full of tears, and she asked in a choked voice, "Is their child's name Hei Yuan?" ”

Hei Eighty-Eight was silent, and the other two people in the room didn't speak, leaving only Lan Lan in the room sobbing incessantly.

Although the teacher's plan was successful, they did not get the permission of the clan to trespass into the forbidden land of the clan, and because of this, they angered the powerful creature and brought indelible damage to the clan. After the incident, the two were removed from the family. The teacher took the infant Hei Yuan to find a place to live in seclusion. You're right, that kid is Hei Yuan, your childhood sweetheart. They're in Blue City right now. ”

Lan Lan finally couldn't hold back, and vented all her accusations, she stared at the middle-aged man in front of her, and asked hoarsely: "What about you, where are you brothers and sisters?" Where were you when the family of the master and the fourth uncle were in trouble? As far as I know, in the past 25 years, there has never been a person from the Hei family around Hei Yuan. Also, and my parents, they ......."

Lan Lan didn't understand why the brothers and sisters who had been very affectionate in the past all remained silent after that incident, and even her parents never mentioned it in front of her.

"Could it be... Could it be because the fourth uncle and the master were removed from the family, you... Do you just avoid it? ”

"Lan Lan, don't get excited, listen to the teacher first." Shui Yuzhi opened his mouth to comfort Lan Lan.

Kuro's expression was cloudy.

Black Eighty-Eight has been burying his head all the time, and this incident has hit him no worse than Mercury by a minute and a half. Lan Lan's incomprehension he could completely understand, he was as excited as she was back then, and even rushed to the patriarch to question.

"The teacher's plan was discussed privately with Heihuai, and we only found out after the fact. They knew that their actions would not be supported by the family, and that not only would they be extremely dangerous, but that even if they succeeded, they would be reprimanded and even punished by the family, so they didn't tell us a few, and I don't think they wanted to affect us...... Alas......"

"Including your parents, we don't know what happened planned by the teacher and the fourth junior brother back then. All we know is that they have a big thing to do, and if they succeed, they can get rid of that monster once and for all. But we couldn't have imagined that they were going to break into the secret realm of the clan mound for a lifetime. Hei Eighty-Eight's emotions were also on the verge of collapse, but this matter had tormented him for 25 years, and he was not as excited as Lan Lan.

But there was resentment, regret and self-blame in his tone.

"Later, hehe, the result of their expulsion from the Nine Prisons was a joint vote of the entire Nine Families, and when a few of us learned the news, we rushed to the patriarchs of the various families to intercede. You younger generations have no idea the horrific consequences of being removed from the Ninth Prison. But we know. ”

"In fact, every time the clan chooses, there are children who go to the forbidden land in the clan land, but that is allowed by the family. However, the teacher and the black locust introduced the monster, and it is said that during the war, the mechanism and feng shui arranged in it for thousands of years were destroyed, and the powerful creatures were angered, and the prohibition of the forbidden land was destroyed, and the damage was huge. ”

"The Hei family has tried their best to save the two of them, otherwise it would not only be removed, but it would not be an exaggeration to break the bones and scatter ashes."

"The impact of this incident is very large, and the consequences are also very serious, so when a few of our senior brothers and sisters went to intercede, they were directly locked up by the family."

"Your mother was pregnant with you at the time, and she was about to give birth in a few months, so she was punished the lightest, but she couldn't see outsiders, and she waited until a year after you gave birth before lifting the house arrest."

"A few of us are not so lucky, I, I was directly thrown in the clan land by the family for 10 years. Bai Lianshan and your father Lan Zhan were confined by the family, and they gradually relaxed after 3 years. ”

"Lan Lan, I know what you want to say, but at that time, the family's actions to us were also a disguised protection. You don't know how many of the school-age children of the Nine Eunuchs died in the incident where the junior brother and the teacher trespassed into the clan land back then. If we were still walking around, we wouldn't be able to resist the hatred of the nine families. ”

"No wonder, but but, the disappearance of my parents ......" Lan Lan thought of the mysterious disappearance of her parents, if the matter of Hei Huai was the protection of the family, then what about her parents?

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, Hei Eighty-Eight said, "Actually, we don't know about your parents. ”

"After the incident between the teacher and the black locust, especially in the first three years, several of us couldn't contact each other at all, I didn't get the news until a month after your parents disappeared, and it was too late to go, and you were also sent to the United States to study by your uncle, although I had a certain amount of freedom at that time, but I couldn't go abroad. Bai Lianshan, even your master uncle also faces such a punishment. ”

"As far as I know, several of us have only been given some freedom of movement in the last three years."

"At that time, the Lan family blocked all news. I would like to ask you for more details about the disappearance of your parents. ”
