Chapter 440: Spies
"If I'm not mistaken, you're another person sent by Zhang Fei to send him to death. Hehe, this time it's even simpler and rude than last time, and he sent me a nuclear bomb directly. This was the first thing Lang Tianya heard this seemingly Steven-like person say, and it was in Chinese. He was dazed by this sentence at the time. There was only one thought in my head, "Mission failed!" ”。
The man didn't raise his eyes at him at all, but pulled out a set of teacups with saucers and lids from behind him and placed them on the bony table in front of him. Then the man reached out and pulled out a kettle from behind him, as if there was an inexhaustible space behind him. Lang Tianya couldn't help but turn sideways as he walked forward, stretched out his monster head hard, and tried his best to look behind the other party, but found that there was nothing. Those tea sets were like the man had made them out of thin air.
Lang Tianya calmed down as soon as he took two steps. He heard multiple layers of meaning from the other party's words. First of all, this man knew his human identity and knew that he was an imposter who had infiltrated him. Secondly, this person knew Zhang Fei and used words to test the connection between him and Zhang Fei. Again, this person is implying that he is not the first to come, Zhang Fei has sent someone before. Eventually, the man knew he had a nuclear bomb on him, and seemed to be very unconcerned, seemingly confident that he could take control of the situation. He didn't know what it meant for the other party to expose so much information as soon as he came up, it was a bluff, and he was testing him with words; Or is this person really in control, just making fun of him, the prey he has in hand? He felt as if there was a mist in front of him, and curiosity tempted him to step forward and clear the fog to find the truth. But he knew that this was probably the purpose of the other party's astonishing remarks, which was to lure him into saying something that he shouldn't have said. So he didn't rush to speak, because if he said too much, he would lose, so he decided to talk less and observe more.
Lang Tianya calmed his restless mood while pretending to be curious and turned his head to look at the surrounding environment. The space looks like an ordinary living room in the human world, surrounded by solid wood walls, and there is even a fireplace on the wall behind Steven, and above the fireplace hangs an oil painting of a grassy hillside in the near distance and a snow-covered mountain peak in the distance. It looks a lot like a screensaver image on your computer. The overall style of this room is more European, but also a bit rustic.
The man looked at him like prey and said, "I'm thinking about a problem. Is Zhang Fei really stupid or pretending to be stupid? I think she should have thought that the chances of your success were slim to none, but she sent you anyway, and I'm guessing what her real purpose was. I can tell from your look that you may have been kept in the dark as well. So you should also think about what she sent you for. Or let's talk and guess her purpose together. The man said as he picked up the kettle.
Seeing that he was about to pour water into the teacup, Lang Tianya suddenly stepped forward and said, "Don't pour water yet, drink my tea." ”
When the man saw him approaching, he casually brought a chair from behind him and placed it across from the bone table. This time, Lang Tianya saw very clearly, the man had conjured a bone chair completely out of thin air. Without making a fuss, he went straight over and sat down in his chair. He first took out the tea bag from his arms with his own hand, then reached in from his monster's big mouth with the claws of the shell to take the tea bag in his hand, and then pulled the claws out of his mouth and handed the tea bag to the other party. Steven looked at the tea bag that was sticking to his saliva, frowned and said, "Can't you take off this shell and then dig out the tea leaves?" I have known for a long time that the nuclear bomb is hidden behind you, bulging out such a large piece, like a malignant tumor, do you really think that you can cover up the past with a shell? ”
"I think we'd better figure out each other's identities first, and then we'll talk about anything else. Who are you? Lang Tianya asked. He didn't follow the other party's advice to take off his shell, and still insisted on facing the other party in the image of a soul eater. After he calmed down, he had been feeling the information around him in the dark area, especially the chair under his buttocks, and he had entered the probing study in a variety of ways.
He discovered that the chair was not made of real bones, nor was it a force field condensed from runes like a light shield, and its structure was a form that Lang Tianya had never seen before. The closest thing he could think of to it was the Reiki Needle. This chair, like the Reiki Needle, is made of Reiki, but it doesn't seem to be a virtual talisman that can absorb Reiki like the Reiki Needle, it's a dead thing. The aura particles in it are arranged and combined in a very complex and special way, which not only locks each other to prevent the particles from escaping, but also presents a texture like a bright body. It's like water vapor floating in the air is compressed and solidified into a block of ice.
At this time, he had slowly realized that the person in front of him could not be Steven at all. After he roughly guessed the composition of the chair, he had been observing the form of the other party's body and feeling the essence of the other party in the dark domain. In his eyes, the structure of this person's body is similar to that of a chair, but unlike a chair, his bright and dark parts are constantly transforming, and the rich aura is confined to a small range around the body to enter and exit, changing in different combinations, transforming into a virtual and real image. He guessed that the human body was different from the chair after all, the human body had to move, so it couldn't be locked, so this person had to constantly change the way of composition and swallow the aura to achieve the effect of this living person.
Obviously, the person sitting in front of him was not a living person at all, but a virtual body formed by the highly condensed and transfiguration of the aura. Then he looked at his surroundings and found that many places were also made of spiritual energy. This place is actually a cavity space like a cave, not a living room of a mountain village villa at all. He had the feeling of entering a cave of the white bone spirit in a trance. But then he felt a pang in his heart, the other party's use of aura had reached such a supernatural point, which was completely beyond his imagination, he was not a level opponent at all, it seemed that his trip not only failed in the mission, but also had a bad life.
The man poured out the remnants of tea from his own cup, and then put the tea leaves in the tea bag into two teacups, and said lightly, "Why don't you guess my identity?" ”
"I can't guess."
"I'm this 'rootless island', and you can say I'm in my body right now." He paused for a moment, then said, "You must have been very strange just now, how did I know you came in?" Now you understand, you said you came into my body with more than a ton of weight and are still stepping on my guts, what do you think I would feel. Did you say I didn't know you were in! ”
Lang Tianya was a little confused. Since the other party is so powerful, and the other party already knows about the existence of the nuclear bomb, why doesn't it just kill him, why bother talking to him so much here? Is it trying to get more information, or is it really trying to stop the explosion of the nuclear bomb at all, and just wants to stall for time? Thinking of this, he immediately had an urge to open the big ball now and then detonate the nuclear bomb. Suddenly, he felt that the aura around his body had solidified, he could no longer absorb a single aura particle, and the aura in his monster shell had also been withdrawn and scattered in the surrounding space, and his shell had returned to the soft and collapsed appearance when he was first "born". Seeing that the shell was about to melt away, he hurriedly fed his internal force into the shell and propped it up again.
The avatar bowed apologetically and said, "You forgot that you were inside me." According to you humans, the aura here is all the internal force in my dark realm, and they are under my command. It's simply impossible for you to detonate a nuclear bomb here. Even if it explodes, I can precisely control its explosion radius, so that it only blows you to pieces, and I am unscathed, believe it or not? ”
Lang Tianya smiled awkwardly and said, "Am I so obvious? ”
"I have studied the expression of human beings, and the appearance of your moment just now is full of nostalgia for life in the midst of tragedy. I knew you were going to do something stupid as soon as I saw it, so I pulled away from the aura. ”
"You don't have to be so polite, just say that I'm afraid of death." Lang Tianya knew that he was not his opponent, so he simply let it go.
"Hehe, you can be so humble, I can't say that, it's rude for me to say that." With a single move, it has learned the demeanor of the European aristocracy.
Lang Tianya simply let go of himself and decided to talk openly with it. "You're a ...... How can you say it, you are a thinking creature, or an advanced ...... such as artificial intelligence? Talismans? ”
"I'm a creature, not an artifact. Or a biomelt to be exact. I don't know if you can understand the way of life of our Holy Race, which is different from that of earthlings. I am a collection of many elites of the Holy Race. Oh! By the way, the Holy Race in my mouth is what you call the Soul Eater. I have to complain that the name you gave us is really not good. Every individual of our Holy Race, after being conceived by the ontology, will train and grow in the outside world for a period of time, and if it grows into an elite and reaches a level of usefulness to the ontology, it will consider returning, from the body to the soul to reintegrate into the ontology, repair the damage of the ontology or make the ontology stronger. This is the reincarnation of a saint individual, and of course, this process may be a long time. I am an ontology. My consciousness is the result of thousands of years of consciousness from the elites of the Holy Race. ”
Lang Tianya frowned and tried to understand this ontology, and it was hard to imagine what it was like for many consciousnesses to come together. "So Mr. Steven, is it already ...... Absorbed by you? ”
"No, no, no! He's safe now, and he's resting somewhere inside me. I'm just borrowing his image to make it easier to communicate with you. Don't get me wrong, understand me as a monster capable of devouring living consciousness. This is not the case. Every returning Holy Family is voluntary. They weren't forced in any way, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to absorb its consciousness. The same goes for humans, I can't forcibly absorb Mr. Steven's consciousness. Of course, if he had done so voluntarily, it would have been possible for me to absorb him. ”
"But you have the ability to forcibly absorb his flesh, and even his memories, right?"
"Well......, well, I don't want to deny that."
Lang Tianya's heart tightened again when he heard this, the other party was so open and honest to him, obviously he didn't want him to leave alive.
The main body said and took a sip of the brewed tea leaves, then nodded and said, "This tea is a little interesting." Unexpectedly, in just over forty years, plants containing aura appeared on the earth. I'm afraid that in a few decades, spirit animals will also appear among animals. The age of the earth's aura has just begun, alas, it is a pity that such a thriving and beautiful world is. Oh, by the way, I've answered several of your questions, can you answer a few of my questions? ”
"I'll try my best!" Lang Tianya said very casually, but at this time he was secretly vigilant in his heart. Here it comes! Here it comes! It seems that the other party has gone to great lengths to talk to him, and his true purpose is about to be revealed.
