Chapter 43: Unintentional Willow Insertion
Not counting the kidnapping by the 'Federal Special Population Control Commission' a few months ago, because of Natasha's warnings and lessons, in addition to seeing people with extraordinary power like himself, Zhang Longchu was the first time to really know other transcendentals, and he was also a classmate around him, and suddenly an inexplicable joy of finding the 'same kind' covered up the annoyance and anger just now.
He paused for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "God, you, are you also transcendent, Jones!"
Oh, you're, of course you are, an ordinary girl can't jump two stories out of thin air even if she is a cheerleader who has been practicing for a long time, ha, no wonder you can guess my identity so easily, it turns out that you are also a transcendent hidden in 'Corriton'..."
"Actually, strictly speaking, I'm not a transcendent being, Long Chu," Jones interrupted Zhang Longchu with a smile, "It's just that when using the 'Amazon Totem', this strange object will increase my strength, agility, and reflexes several times, and the stronger my physical fitness, the greater this increase." ”
"Yes, that's almost the same as the transcendental, don't many scholars on the Internet think that the master of strange things is also a kind of transcendent in a broad sense," Zhang Longchu said indifferently, and then seemed to remember something, his eyes widened, and his tone became amazed, "You just said that your strange things are inherited, so aren't you from the legendary 'legendary family'?" ”
Once the vast majority of people are in harmony with the soul of the strange object, unless they are killed by a strong person by special means, they can re-peel off the strange thing they have with a small chance, and the strange thing is completely in a state of 'co-dependence, co-living and dying', that is, once the owner loses his life, his strange thing will naturally lose its magical ability and transform into an ordinary artifact.
But there are always exceptions to everything, there are a very small number of owners of strange things because they have some unknowable soul characteristics, but after death, they can pass on the strange things that fit with them to their close blood relatives without losing their power, creating another owner of strange things.
Because such a soul trait can be inherited, some families have always had owners of strange things for generations, and family members are influenced by the owners of these strange things, and many of them will be accustomed to making a living in frontier areas where the probability of obtaining strange things is much higher than that of other regions.
Over time, if this kind of family becomes stronger and stronger, spreads many legendary deeds, and slowly transforms into a huge family with many branches, it will be called a 'legendary family'.
In the new era of dimensional warfare, it is a very glorious thing to be born in a mysterious and powerful 'legendary family', so hearing Zhang Longchu's words, Jones raised his eyebrows, pretended to be reserved and smiled: "The Amazon totem has only been passed down in my family for seven generations, and our entire family has only three strange things, and we have just stepped into the threshold of 'legend'." ”
"That's already remarkable," Zhang Longchu said in admiration: "Wow, I really can't imagine that the classmates around me will be associated with those legendary characters." ”
"Before I met you, I never imagined that among my classmates there would be partners with the same supernatural abilities," Jones said with a smile: "I think you feel this way too, transcendents like us, masters of strange things, live among ordinary people, in fact, they all have a feeling of wearing masks, and it is only easiest to get along with the same kind."
By the way, any metropolitan city in the Federation that has direct access to the bus station and airport in the frontier zone hides a lot of places for people like us to move, have you ever been there? ”
"No, in fact, apart from a lady who looks ladylike, but is actually very scary, you are the second 'of my kind' I have seen, except for a lady who looks very ladylike and actually serves on the 'Federal Special Population Control Commission.'" Zhang Longchu shook his head again and again and replied with a wry smile.
"I guess that's it, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you in the 'Black Forest' once, considering that it is the favorite place of the young transcendents and the masters of strange things in Los Angeles.
I'll show you there when I have time. Jones shrugged his shoulders as he did.
Although it was a little strange that the girl was enthusiastic about herself after calming down, Zhang Longchu, who was born on Orange Street and thought that he knew how to make trade-offs far better than his peers, firmly believed that even if Jones really had any plans for him, he was sure that after eating the bait, he would calmly unhook it, so he said with a smile: "Really, then let's just say it..."
Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and he felt it out and looked at the screen, and saw that it was Celia's call, so he said apologetically to Jones, "It's Celia's call, she seems to be in a hurry." With a slip of his finger, he connected the phone.
"It's okay, I've been delayed for too long, let's go, let's go to the parking lot together." Hearing Zhang Longchu's apology, Jones shook his head and smiled slightly, turned off the ceiling light, and admonished, "Be careful of the steps here." He walked out of the rink.
On the way, after Zhang Longchu finished talking to his adoptive sister on the phone, Jones chatted with him about a few other good places in Los Angeles that only transcendents could visit in addition to the 'Black Forest', which caused Zhang Longchu's eyes to glow when he said goodbye.
His excited look was so uncontrollable that when Zhang Longchu walked quickly to Celia's car and sat in the co-pilot, he immediately heard the girl's sour teasing, "I was delayed for a while with my friends, so I'm sorry, haha, I thought it was a friend who stayed with me so forgetful, it turned out to be a hot girl."
Wow, Long Chu, we've been living together for months, and I've never seen your expression so excited, it seems that I've just fallen out of love and you're about to start falling in love, congratulations, congratulations. ”
"Is my expression so obvious, Celia," Zhang Longchu replied jokingly when he heard this, "It seems that people's happiness really can't be hidden."
Do you know the girl who went into the parking lot with me just now, she is in the same grade as us, she is a cheerleader in ice hockey, I have heard of many suitors, but to be honest, I don't particularly appreciate a hot girl like this, so although today because she took the initiative to talk to me, we talked a little more..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Celia with a cold face, "Shut up for me, megalomaniacal, like that kind of girl takes the initiative to talk to you, there are only two possibilities, one is to ask you for directions;
The second is to turn you into her 'tool man', so boy, wipe your eyes brightly. Starting the car, making a handsome turn, it sped forward and disappeared into the parking lot.
Two days later, Saturday was Isadowl's monthly 'Family Day', and Zhang Longchu, his adoptive father and adoptive mother, as well as sisters Celia and Rosa, went to the shores of Lake Hybeckis on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where they spent the whole day comfortably picnicking and camping.
And early Sunday morning, he received a call from Jones, and he waited on the side of the road on Green Pine East Street without even eating breakfast.
On an early summer morning, the clear sky is cloudless, and the bright morning sun shines on the clean and spotless community, reflecting on the faces of everyone on the street who is doing morning sports, walking the dog, and enjoying breakfast in the outdoor garden, naturally breeding a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, which makes the corners of the mouth want to smile.
And this tranquility and comfort also made Zhang Longchu, who was standing in the shade of the tree and looking around, couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, "Obviously in the same city, but compared to the green pine East Street and oranges, it is like two planes, so it seems that the most amazing thing in the world is actually money..."
Just when he was so inexplicably emotional, he inadvertently saw a middle-aged man wearing shorts, sweatshirts, and Bluetooth headphones stuffed in one ear, running while obviously rhythmically regulating his breathing, passing by, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Morning, Mr. McGee." ”
"Oh, morning..."Seeing Zhang Longchu waving to himself, the middle-aged man had a smile on his face, and he just said half a sentence without stopping, when suddenly a big hole opened in his neck with a 'poof', and most of his neck flesh and blood exploded blurrily, leaving only the spine bones connected to the body and fell to the ground.
"Damn, someone shot..."The chaotic life on Orange Street made Zhang Longchu realize what was happening in an instant, and he didn't even hesitate for a second, and before the cold sweat came out, he fell directly under the tree.
And the other people on the street, even if they also saw the terrible scene, were stunned on the spot, and did not react at all, until one innocent person after another fell, and then they screamed and ran away in panic.
Faced with panicked prey all over the street, the murderer, who didn't know where to hide, methodically fired one shot at a time, almost every bullet was hit, taking people's lives one by one.
At the same time, as time passed, Zhang Longchu, who saw more and more victims, changed his face uncertainly for a while, and suddenly crawled out of the shade of the tree and crawled towards the nearest corpse.
Judging from the almost certain death of the shooter, the weapon used by the gunman must be a powerful sniper spear, even if he turns into a giant wolf, he will either be killed or injured when he is hit, so Zhang Longchu's actions at this moment are undoubtedly risking his life.
Fortunately, in the crowd of people running around the street to dodge, the target of his lying on the ground was not obvious at all, which is why he did not turn into a wolf-shaped action, especially after the patrolling police cars swarmed in, the main object of the murderer's firefight was also changed to the police, Zhang Longchu approached 4 corpses in succession to devour the soul, without attracting any attention, and finally got the conditions to dispel the fog of the strange world again.
Later, he found that he could not continue to pull his soul from the newly dead corpses on the street until he completed the growth of the strange thing, Zhang Longchu looked at the corpses lying on the ground in the community, and sighed.
After crawling and hiding behind a Mercedes-Benz car parked on the side of the street, he waited for a long time, and finally heard the police arguing with a communicator that they had killed the bandits, and immediately pretended to be unconscious and sat on the ground and entered the world of strange things.
