Chapter Ninety-Four: Trying to Cover Up
In the workshop of the steel factory, Xuanzang, Nine-Tails, and Bai Gujing each looked at the thing on the table between them with different expressions. It was a watermelon-sized sphere covered with a layer of fine hairs five centimeters long, showing a light gray color similar to that of a newborn animal. The texture of the hairball looks very soft, and the bottom end is flattened along the tabletop, like a big jelly, which makes people feel like they will shake back and forth when poked.
Xuanzang took his eyes off the stuffed doll-like object and asked the white bone spirit, "Is this the latest progress in synthesizers?" ”
"Yes. Recently, during the ovulation period of the nine-tails, egg cells were collected as carriers, and they grew so big after one day of isolated culture. Ignoring the shyness on the Nine-Tails' face, the White Bone Spirit said very bluntly, "It seems that the growth is good at the moment, and the effect is better than before." It seems that it is in line with Bailong's original statement, you have to have a child. ”
Nine-Tails said with a painful face, "I won't admit that this thing is my own child!" ”
Bai Gujing smiled slightly: "At least it looks pretty cute, doesn't it?" ”
The Nine-Tails shook his head with a smile, feeling like he was drifting away on some terrible path. She looked at Xuanzang and asked a little angrily, "This is the help you provide?" Let me create such a strange creature against human ethics and use it against the Overseers? ”
"When it comes to violating human ethics, what you've done before isn't much worse." Xuanzang pointed out unceremoniously, and then calmly explained, "You have to figure it out, Nine-Tails, I have no obligation to help you take revenge." In cases where the Golden Horn and Silver Horn can't recover their memories, this is a relatively good alternative. ”
"Then it's better to repair the Golden Horn King and the Silver Horn King, not to restore their memories, but to adjust them to a mode that can obey my command, than now, right?"
"Once out of the shielded area, the enemy will soon be able to recognize the two of them through the prism, and that won't do you any good." Xuanzang folded his arms and looked directly into the eyes of the Nine-Tails. said solemnly, "Then again, do you want a golden horn and a silver horn, or a mutton fat jade bottle?" Seeing that you want both, it's a bit too greedy. What is the rationale? ”
"Revenge." Nine-Tails replied, "We've talked about this topic many times, and the enemies I'm going to deal with are very strong, and every bit of help I desperately need. ”
"If it's because you discovered the truth about the immortal cultivation game, then you escaped from the closed town and obtained the transformation ability to hide your whereabouts. Your action is over. After that, you did everything you could to fight back, taking such a big risk to take revenge, just out of sympathy for your friends and the desire to get rid of the regulators once and for all?
"I don't think so. Long-term cruel competition can't cultivate too much affection, and when you pressed Dragon Mountain, you easily wiped out his soul because of the incompetence of your subordinates, which shows that what drives you to act is more profit, helping the golden horn and silver horn to resurrect. Neither the rescue provided to me at the White Tiger Ridge Shelter was out of your kindness. And you also clearly know that the Overseer has a relationship with the immortals, and even if you can defeat him, the power behind him is not something you can shake. I hope. Can you tell me the real reason. ”
The Nine-Tails wanted to speak and stopped, bowed his head and muttered for a few seconds before saying, "Revenge is revenge, and there are not so many complicated considerations. That's the real reason. If you don't believe me, I don't know what to come up with to your liking. ”
Xuanzang didn't ask any further questions, but shook his head. Then he suddenly asked another question: "Before coming to Shepan Mountain, did you really never see a keel?" ”
"Nope." Nine-Tails replied quickly, and then said, "Why do you ask?" ”
"Because I feel strange. He claimed to have seen you break into his so-called 'holy land' many times, and said that you were an enemy of that god. It may certainly be a babbling that stems from insanity, but what cares to me is your reaction. Xuanzang paused and accentuated his tone, "You have never had a direct conversation with the dragon bone, and every time you touch on this topic, you skip it at will." For you on the run, the dragon bone should be a potential threat, and it is possible that he really knows you. And you were indifferent to him, and you didn't even show anything when I let them go. The more you dissociate yourself from the relationship in this way, the more suspicious it becomes. ”
Nine-Tails was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Xuanzang, your suspicions are too heavy, is it that the recent continuous attacks have made you mentally stressed?" Such a far-fetched connection can be forced out by you......"
"I secretly placed a tracker on the keel, and due to the lack of a way to locate it, it needed to send a positioning request to the Heavenly Court's satellites before it could send its coordinates back to me. In other words, it can easily be discovered by the Heavenly Court. Earlier today, my side started to lose the tracker's signal. I don't know how you feel when you hear this news. ”
"The keel was caught by Heavenly Court?" Nine-Tails asked in a bit of a panic.
Xuanzang said calmly: "I'm not sure yet, maybe you can help identify the location of the last signal." As he spoke, he opened a terminal, and the electronic map on it connected itself with a zigzag path.
Nine-tails stared at it with wide eyes for a while, and was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but blurt out: "It's there!" Do you say ......"
"Looks like you know this place." Xuanzang nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, it seems that everything is not accidental." ”
"How do you get it?" Now the Nine-Tails are even more confused.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open very rudely, and the locks flew out. The white dragon who trespassed in without permission did not have any consciousness to interrupt the secret conversation of others, and said impatiently: "Come on, bald, don't make a fool of yourself there, throw the synthesize and bottle to her, stuff it in the car and drive it directly, just finish it early." The monkey's nuclear fusion is not done yet, so don't waste time on these boring things. ”
"In this matter, I think you are much better than me in terms of professionalism and execution, so what use do you want me?" Xuanzang rarely put on a rare appearance that he didn't care about himself, and replied.
Bai Long looked down at his body, shook his head disdainfully, and said, "Such barren conditions can't bring out my full strength. Our enemies have locked him up in the imaginary space for five hundred years, and they have not been able to completely crack the secrets on him, and now in such a short period of time, how can I start from a technical point of view. The monkey listens to you the most, and I think you should go to a psychological counseling to guide him to understand a method that suits him. ”
The Nine-Tails, who was left to the side, couldn't bear it anymore and stopped the discussion between them, shouting, "Please, explain the matter to me first, okay?" I haven't said a word about the ...... 'holy place', so I feel like you all know about it. ”
Bailong said: "I don't understand yet, you have been sold." ”
Nine-Tails was still puzzled, looked around, and finally turned to the white bone spirit who had been with him most frequently recently: "You know what? You don't know! Looking at her betrayed expression, Bai Gujing said indifferently: "Xuanzang asked us to hide it from you, whether you can say it depends on what he means." ”
"Anyway, the tasks of the golden horn and the silver horn have been completed, so what else does it matter, it doesn't matter if she knows." Before Xuanzang could answer, Bailong preemptively said, "Don't ask that long-winded man, I'll tell you directly." Little fox, we've figured it all out from the two robots. Eh, don't get excited, no wonder they're robots, they're more convenient than humans in digging up information. ”
"Gold and silver horns?" Nine-Tails asked blankly, "Wait, didn't you say before that their memories can't be recovered?" Then how do you know, know ......?"
"Let's put this aside for now. Now that you have the Jade Pure Bottle, hurry up and trade with the guy who pretended to be the old god, and let's see how true the god-killing method he promised is. (To be continued.) )
