Irina just looked at Ke Junxia for about a second or two, and then she tapped her lips lightly and said, "I've been waiting for you to ask, but I didn't expect to wait for so long, I almost gave up." ”

For a moment, Ke Junxia felt very ashamed.

Irina added, "I thought you were a bounty hunter and forgot about learning. Learning is lifelong, and you can't just because you're about to leave college that you don't need to seek knowledge. Even a good bounty hunter must be a naturalist. ”

Ke Junxia felt that his face was red and hot, and even his neck was hot, his eyes lowered, and he no longer dared to look at Irina.

For a long time, Irina has cared for and accommodated Ke Junxia, Ke Junxia will not feel it, and because of this, whether it is in front of Lin Quan or in front of others, Ke Junxia has a sense of superiority, but now think about it carefully, there must be a reason for Irina's care and accommodation for him, this reason is "expectation", and Ke Junxia now suddenly feels that he has lived up to this expectation.

Irina saw a bench next to the campus boulevard, so she moved over and sat down, and patted her hand next to it, motioning for Ke Junxia to go too.

Ke Junxia sat down respectfully after passing, and his body turned slightly to the direction of Irina at a slight angle, and at the same time, his eyes drooped, looking humbly asking for advice.

Irina sat casually and relaxed, but still without losing that intellectual elegance. She smiled first, as if she was smiling to herself, and then asked, "The history of Naga, like the history of humans on this planet, is only more than three hundred years. Counting the mining period, the metropolis is less than 100 years, which section do you want to know? ”

Ke Junxia thought for a while, summarized the vocabulary in his brain, and finally said cautiously: "It's the period before and after the Daredevil's Great Attack about 70 years ago." ”

Irina nodded and said, "You can come back safely from the abyss, if you want to ask questions, it should be this paragraph." Do you want to hear brief, or detailed? ”

Ke Junxia said: "Of course, I want to ask you for more advice, but you still have lectures, so I don't dare to delay you more time." ”

Irina suddenly laughed out loud and said: "Why did you suddenly become like this, although you used to call me Your Excellency, but no matter who you are, your attitude is very casual, and even a little bit or two of unruliness, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Hearing Irina's laughter, Ke Junxia relaxed a little, but still said respectfully: "Because you are my teacher now, such an attitude towards the teacher is right." ”

Irina said, "Whatever you want, it's rare for you to look like this, but it certainly won't last long." Okay, so let's briefly talk about what happened between Metropolis and Naga 70 years ago. ”

Irina leaned back on the bench and set her eyes on the sky. The weather was fine, the blue sky was dotted with white clouds, and the bright sunlight was shining through the branches and leaves of the trees, and the stars were sprinkled on Irina's body, and her memories flew to the distant past.

Seventy years ago, the metropolis was founded and is transforming from a thriving mining city to a commercial metropolis. Not far from the metropolis is a large swamp known as the Blackwater Swamp, which is home to the Naga tribe.

Don't be fooled by the fame of the Blackwater Marsh, it's actually a beautiful place, with clear water, abundant produce, and a metropolis – then called the Mining Association. established a trade relationship with the Naga, but this relationship was not stable and harmonious.

After a mining peak, the Mining Association suffered a cliff-like collapse in production, and although the Mining Association was able to transform into regional trade, the previous destructive mining had serious consequences, as the pits destroyed the water system of the Blackwater Swamp, the swamp began to dry up, and the Naga inevitably clashed with the emerging metropolis.

But at this time, a more immediate danger appeared, a group of wandering night demons moved into the mining area, which is now the abyss, and they constantly attacked the residents of the metropolis, forcing the metropolis to increase security, and in order to reduce the damage, the metropolis divided the city into two urban districts.

In fact, the metropolis is divided into two urban districts, and security is only one of the reasons, and the deeper reason is that the contradictions within the metropolis have reached the point of irreconcilability at that time, and we will not talk about this issue for the time being.

At that time, everyone felt that the metropolis was at the end of the road, after all, the situation of internal and external difficulties was difficult to resolve. But at this time a hero appeared.

This hero, jokingly known as the "God of Cannons", was born with a mouth that could speak well, and he was very bold, he relied on a mouth cannon, and at the same time scattered all his wealth to finally sign a contract with the Naga race in the Black Swamp: the Naga tribe is responsible for destroying or expelling the night demons, and the price is to divide the abyssal region into Naga territory. Later, Naga fights the Daredevil, who is defeated and raids the lower city for the last time before escaping, which is the famous Daredevil attack. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Irina let out a long breath, withdrew her gaze from the deep air, and pursed her lips.

Ke Junxia saw it, jumped up from the bench, ran to the commissary not far away, and after a short time, he came back with two bottles of soda, opened one bottle, and handed it to Irina.

Irina took the soda and saw that the sign on it was actually "Arctic Ocean", an ancient brand. She smiled and took a sip, the soda was injected with a lot of carbon dioxide, and when the tiny bubbles burst on the tip of the tongue, it could make people feel a kind of "killing" comfort.

"Thank you." She said.

Ke Junxia also took a few sips of soda, and then said, "Last time I encountered Naga in the abyss and injured their people, but they didn't hurt me. Instead, I entrusted the Earth Sect to take care of me, and I never understood why, but now I seem to know something. ”

Irina said, "The Naga race is a civilized race, and it still holds on to some virtues, and it is mysterious and keeps its promises. ”

Ke Junxia said: "The name of the Heishui swamp area has not changed now, but I heard that there is already a Gobi, but I have never been there." ”

Irina rolled the cold soda bottle on her forearm, enjoying the coolness, and sighed, "I haven't been there for a long time, seventy years." ”

Ke Junxia didn't dare to ask any further, it was rude to ask the lady's age, not to mention that Irina was so mysterious, even if Irina was just a child when she went to the Blackwater Swamp, she should be an old woman about eighty years old now, but now Irina looks only about thirty years old.

Ke Junxia suspects that Irina is also a "new atavistic" mutant, and this is very likely.

Irina looked at Ke Junxia's appearance of wanting to ask but not daring to ask, smiled again, and said: "You, you are really a combination of contradictions, sometimes you are strategic, you plan very well, sometimes you are very reckless, and you survive by wit and luck; Sometimes, you are bold and rude, but now you look like a hesitant little boy - maybe that's the quality of youth. ”

Ke Junxia smiled embarrassedly and said, "I also think I'm very unstable, maybe this is what I need to learn." ”

"It's all the same, it's all from a young age," Irina said. But there are some things that I will tell you directly, lest you want to ask but dare not ask. Seventy years ago, when the Cannon God went to negotiate with the Naga, he was not alone, Judge Gordon and I were his personal entourage at the time. ”

Ke Junxia said secretly: "No wonder Judge Gordon is called Old Lady Irina, but then calculated, Judge Gordon should be in his nineties and almost one hundred by now, but he only looks like he is in his seventies." But Lord Irina is a mutant, and she's about that age. ”

He thought and stole a glance at Irina, who was still a young and beautiful woman anyway.

Irina continued, "Then I discovered the active ingredient in my genes, which meant that I could mutate when I was on the verge of death, and to be on the safe side, I hired the lieutenant to be my dying companion, and he was just like you now, a new bounty hunter." ”

"No wonder they know each other so well, they have known each other for decades." Most of the mystery about Irina in Ke Junxia's heart has been solved, although the details are still unknown, but it doesn't matter.

Irina finally said, "Now you know a lot about me. It's not a secret, but I don't want you to bring it up again from today, you know? ”

Of course Ke Junxia understands this, even if it is not Irina, respecting other people's privacy is also the minimum character.

"......" Irina suddenly sneered, put a hand on her forehead, and said with a slight mockery: "It's really ridiculous, there are still a group of people trying to divide the pure blood of human beings, in fact, hundreds of years ago, since the time when our ancestors who boarded the immigration spaceship were injected with genetic drugs, there was no pure human blood, we are all mutants, but we still maintain the appearance of normal humans for the time being." ”

Ke Junxia still has some understanding of this, after all, he still doesn't shy away from it in the history textbooks of the metropolis. In order to survive in the extreme environment, human immigrants were injected with genetic drugs to cope. It's just that no one thought that when those ordinary humans who had not mutated were at the end of their lives, the genetic drugs in their bodies would actually resurrect them again, and return to their youth, back to the age when they injected drugs.

Since everyone has a second life and has not turned into a monster, everyone regards this as a blessing rather than a mutation, although this resurrection is also very dangerous.

Resurrection mutations require a lot of energy, so the resurrected people who do not receive medical care will become irrational and hungry for a period of time, and are called "zombies", so hospitals and security departments have established a dying companion mechanism for this purpose. However, after the first generation of immigrants, this rarely happens, except in the case of a "new atavism".

Irina is supposed to be a newly atavistic human, but she was given a dying companion, so the mutation went smoothly, she was resurrected and regained her youth.

But like everyone else, Ke Junxia feels that this is indeed a blessing, not a mutation. After all, I have a new life, and I haven't become a monster.

The two of them sat quietly for a while, enjoying a rare quiet time, but Irina finally asked, "You won't ask what happened seventy years ago for no reason, are you going to the abyss again?" ”

Ke Junxia nodded: "One commission, one transaction." I **two dry ice**, the consignee is you, if I don't come back, you should be able to use it when you find someone else to catch monsters. ”

"Dry ice?" Irina nodded and said, "Smart enough." But if you can come back last time, you can come back this time. ”

Ke Junxia was a little pessimistic, shook his head and said: "People live peacefully in the abyss, I am old and bothered, even if it is a mud bodhisattva, there are three points of anger." ”

Irina took a pendant from her neck, put it in Ke Junxia's hand and said, "With this, it can guarantee that Li will come back safely." ”

Ke Junxia looked at the pendant, which was in the style of the steampunk era, and beneath the hollowed-out copper surface was an elaborate gear system.

"This ......" Before Ke Junxia could say anything, Irina waved her hand and said, "You go first, I want to be quiet alone for a while." She said, tapping her index finger lightly on her temple, looking tired from a headache.

Ke Junxia didn't want to continue to bother, so he had to get up and say goodbye.

After walking far away, Ke Junxia looked back and saw that Irina was still leaning on the bench, beautiful and elegant, like a beautiful statue from the Earth era.
