Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture.

An izakaya called "Fishing House".

Qin Renjie skillfully forked a piece of chicken chop from Wei Yixiao's bowl, shook his head and commented: "Old Wei, this chicken chop of yours is not good, the heat is over, and it is a little hard." ”

"This is the third chicken steak you've crossed, so I'll give you the bowl anyway. Wei Yixiao put down his chopsticks and complained speechlessly to his delicious hair:

"Eating in the bowl, still dominating the pot, not only that, but after eating, I said that it was not delicious, and I continued to stuff it into my mouth with a fork, I Wei Yixiao has never seen such a brazen person. ”

"Ah, what are you talking about, the wind is too strong I can't hear clearly~" Qin Renjie put one hand behind his ear and acted like a scoundrel.

"Knock knock. Dongdong, who was crawling aside and hiding his figure, also learned from his master, put his little claws behind his ears and called.

"It's really that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Sooner or later, Dongdong will bring you bad and become a hooligan. What do you want the other hideous members of the Hideous family to think of it?" Wei Yixiao pinched Dongdong's small round face and said solemnly at it: "Dongdong, you can't learn the bad habits of fat people, you know?

"Knock knock?" Dong Dong called out with an innocent look at Wei Yi with a smile.

"Well, you know what. It's not been peaceful lately. A young man in black on the seat next to him said to his companion in yellow.

"What's going on, hasn't it always been quite quiet and peaceful here?"

"That was before. Since the revival of the aura, strange things have happened here one after another, and if it weren't for the pressure from above, how could this place be so lively. The young man in black explained.

"It's no wonder that on the way to the road, I found that many places that could be entered before were not allowed to enter under martial law. Wei Yi smiled as he listened to their conversation and remembered some of the things he had noticed on the road.

After a pause, the black-clothed young man next to him suppressed his voice and said in a low voice: "Last night, several people disappeared from the Ice Ridge. I heard that it was directly encircled by some unknown demon beast, and there was not even a scum left. ”

The young man in yellow on the opposite side was obviously taken aback: "It's really fake, why haven't I heard any news at all." ”

"My aunt's daughter's boyfriend is an Awakened One, and he is here as a security captain, and I listened to him. At that time, he was also sent to the scene with people. The news was blocked from above, and there was no movement at all except inside and outside. Otherwise, there are so many people in Karuizawa Town, and what a lot of chaos and losses will be caused if they all run away. ”

The black-clothed young man shook his head and continued: "Anyway, I heard that the scenic spot has drawn awakened people from the local awakened organization, as long as you don't get close to the Bingling Ridge, it's still safe here." ”

"Hey, ordinary people like us, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to live in this chaotic era of spiritual awakening. The young man in yellow looked at the half-eaten eel rice on the table in front of him and sighed and said.

Because of the general environment of aura awakening, human beings are constantly evolving in awakening. At the same time, the flora and fauna microorganisms living on this planet are constantly mutating, and some legendary ghosts and spirits have also begun to appear in a steady stream.

These are challenges and opportunities for the Awakened with powerful abilities, while for ordinary people, the crisis outweighs the challenges.

Among these ordinary people, there are those who have no qualifications but have a lot of wealth, status and power. Their qualifications do not give them the opportunity to awaken in this environment, but the power they have allows them to use all kinds of resources.

The food and medicine made of the flesh and blood of the demon beasts, the wine brewed from the bones of the demon beasts, and even the huge cost of hiring the awakened as bodyguards to protect their own safety, this is also a status symbol. There is also a trend of raising monsters in some oil tycoon circles in the Middle East.

This is the opportunity that this era has given them.

Ordinary people, however, are suffering.

The number of awakened people is limited, but monsters and mutated animals and plants are emerging in an endless stream, and only a thousand days of being a thief can have a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Taking care of this and losing the other, there are always monsters eating people all over the world, and animals going crazy and hurting people.

These are still small-scale individual events, but what if the microbes mutate and a new virus is born? Who knows if those black death, smallpox, SARS or other viruses will come back in a new way?

If this goes on for a long time, there will be more and more awakened people with strong strength and long lifespan, while ordinary humans, on the contrary, will either transform into awakened ones or eventually be eliminated under the continuous oppression of living conditions.

Perhaps since the moment the revival of the aura began, the planet has been in the midst of an irreversible process of replacing new humans with old humans.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

This iron law has become more cruel and real at the moment of the revival of the aura.

......

"Old Wei, where are you going in a while, my father and uncle shouldn't be able to come back tonight. What should we do?" Qin Renjie, who was standing at the door of the izakaya after eating, watched the people coming and going, touched his stomach and asked comfortably.

"Fatty, how is your cultivation lately. What about Dongdong, has there been any change?" Wei Yixiao obviously cared more about the little fat man's cultivation than where he would go for a while.

"It's still the same, E-class. It's still early to reach the top. Dongdong, I've done well when I took it out for tasks a few times before. Qin Renjie half-lay on the chair at the door, ignoring his image at all.

"I posted in the community before to ask some seniors of the summoning department, and they said that the ability of the summoning beast improves with the strength of the master, and unless there are some special opportunities, they can only come step by step. Qin Renjie smoothed the hair that was lying on his stomach and said.

Wei Yi smiled and nodded without speaking, and suddenly thought of a news he had noticed before: "I remembered that there seems to be a night market here, and there are all kinds of people setting up stalls here at night. Would you like to check it out?"

Qin Renjie waved his hand and said, "What is there to go to in the night market, it's better to go home and sleep." ”

"It's not an ordinary night market, and the stalls are set up by awakened people here and ordinary people with special things in their hands. Wei Yi Yi explained.

Karuizawa is one of the island's premier resorts, and the surrounding environment also gives it a strong aura, so some monsters often haunt the deep mountains and forests under martial law. With aura and demon beasts, there will naturally be more awakened people.

Karuizawa is located deep in the mountains, and transportation is inconvenient, so over time, such a temporary location has appeared for everyone to trade, and everyone can take what they need.
