Chapter 37: Sewers
"It's so dark here," Qiyun said, turning on the flashlight on her phone, "The low-level employees are really being squeezed everywhere, and they don't even give a lamp cap for this kind of thing." ”
"Think it's too dark? The problem is easy to solve. Zhao Hao raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the entire space suddenly lit up, and the light source that appeared out of thin air emitted a soft light, which was not dazzling at all.
"What the hell are you capable of controlling some kind of luminary?" Looking at the surroundings that suddenly lit up, Qiyun was a little timid, which reminded her of the scene when her boyfriend's body disappeared in the pillar of light.
"Operate a kind of luminous particles, if you are not rigorous, it doesn't hurt to say that you are operating light," Zhao Hao said, "After testing, this light is very similar to solar radiation, but it is a little different, they have a special charge, they are very versatile, these luminous particles can continue to exist within ten meters around my body, but out of this range, as long as the energy is exhausted, it will dissipate." ”
"That's right." Qiyun nodded.
The two made their way down the sewers, which were less nicer than they had expected, with the water in the center of the channel rushing so fast that sewage could not stay in the same place for long, and the air in the sewers was a little dreary due to the city's strict waste discharge regulations.
Zhao ...... Ah Hao," the two of them had finished patrolling the waterway, but they still hadn't found the so-called chocobo, and at this time, Qiyun suddenly spoke to Zhao Hao, "The ability I inherited is really such a dangerous thing?" ”
"If the ability is separated from the user, there is no danger or danger, she was hunted down because of the formation of the Alien Organization, which requires the society to treat those who cannot enter the state organs with preferential treatment, and if they can't get it, they simply rob it." Zhao Hao said, "To put it bluntly, it is a group of people who feel that they are superior to others because they are born as aliens, and after realizing that they are not so special, they are unwilling to be ordinary people, and even feel that they are suppressed and discriminated against, so they begin to be anti-social." ”
"Will the rest of the organization be wiped out like this?"
"Some of them were taken away for labor reform, some were ideologically educated, and some of the most heinous crimes were either killed on the run or arrested and shot," Zhao Hao said. ”
"Yes, but not the Anomalous." Qiyun said, "The alien is the hero who fights against the alien beast and protects the human race, and is respected by everyone, and it is the alienated who is suppressed and discriminated against, but in recent years, the situation has improved, colleges and universities have begun to accept alienated people for admission, and many companies are willing to provide jobs for alienated people." ”
"But there doesn't seem to be much acceptance of alienated people within the Dawn Council." Zhao Hao remembered the discussion about alienated people in the armored car, and the people in black unanimously showed their disgust for alienated people.
"I know that it was still ordinary until yesterday, how could I know about this kind of big organization," Qiyun made a helpless expression, "Maybe many of their companions were killed by alienated people, and even a big city like Qizheng only does not reject alienated people on the surface." ”
Two types of people with extraordinary strength, but because one is exactly the same as a human being, and the other has inhuman characteristics, is it really wonderful, Zhao Hao sighed.
In Zhao Hao's original world, there were no people who retained animal characteristics, but there were spirit beasts that could turn into human form, and the girlfriend of one of his friends was a descendant of a hybrid of a human and a fox spirit animal, and there was also a rejection of this kind of half-orcs in their world, but it only existed in history, and this discrimination disappeared when he was born.
After a while of advancing along the underground waterway, the two finally heard a slight footstep not far away, the waterway in this area has been temporarily blocked, and there will be no other humans except them, thinking of this, Zhao Hao understands that the goal is near.
He just wanted to remind Qiyun to be vigilant, but he found that Qiyun's body trembled slightly, thinking that Qiyun was just an ordinary person before, and it was normal for him to be nervous when facing a strange beast for the first time, and he thought that if he could do better, Qiyun would not suddenly change from an ordinary person to an alien and be forced to live a completely different life.
"Follow me, and I'll protect you." Zhao Hao said.
"Who...... Whoever wants you to protect, I'm also a stranger now. Hearing this, Qiyun retorted in a trembling voice and didn't forget to sarcastically, "Don't forget, my current ability is tricky even for you. ”
Zhao Hao smiled and didn't continue to answer, and then he suddenly found something, and immediately leaned over and put his ear on the ground.
"Four...... No, this rhythm is four-legged and two-legged. Zhao Hao was sure that the other party was coming towards him, and it was in the same direction.
He stood up, wary of the darkness ahead, and in a moment the sound of thumping on the ground became clear, and under the light of the floating light source, two fish-shaped beasts the size of adult tigers appeared in their field of vision.
Zhao Hao was startled at first, but soon took a closer look, this fish-type monster called the land cocobo fish looked like it was swimming on land, but if you looked closely, you could see that its abdomen grew scale-like feet, and relying on its four scaly legs, it was able to move quickly on land.
"It was a terrible war, and it forced all the fish to go ashore." Zhao Hao quipped.
However, no one agreed.
Zhao Hao turned around and found that Qiyun was already hiding behind him, looking very scared.
"No, if this thing looks like a horror movie, it will be okay if it has long legs, a broken belly, and a corrupted body, and he is just a slightly larger fish," Zhao Hao said, pointing to the landing fish, "If he shoots a fish, I believe he can spray a high-pressure water gun, but this looks like a grass carp." ”
"Your grass carp is so big, and it has sharp teeth," Qiyun urged, "Didn't you say to protect me, then hurry up and get rid of this thing, whatever method you use, quickly solve it." ”
"Good, good." Zhao Hao sighed, pointed to the landing fish's fingers upward, a row of light pillars rose from the ground, and a land chocobo fish penetrated directly, and the other saw that his companion was killed, turned around and ran, Zhao Hao saw that the other party had left the range of ten meters, raised his hand and waved, threw out a light gun, and also penetrated the second one.
"It's so easy." Zhao Hao dusted his hands, "Anyone's straw fork can solve this thing." ”
"Solved?" Qiyun poked his head out from behind Zhao Hao, and saw that the big fish lying on the ground was not sure, so he picked up a small pebble and threw it over, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the land cocobo fish was really dead.
