(81) Catastrophe (Yuffie Stanmidz, V)
"Anything emerging is going to be met with resistance when it comes to promotion. www.biquge.info Of course, as pioneers, you will be able to break it one day. I'm looking forward to that moment. β
Yuffie gave just the right amount of comfort, allowing the Gurno to regain their composure. She walked over to Noka and looked at the various readings on the devices, "Also, if this youkai has something to do with the organization you're talking about, what do you think they're for?" β
"How can I know what the hell a bunch of crazy people are thinking!" Noka seemed to be angry, knocking his teeth in hatred, gasping for air from his nostrils, "Either blame the Empire for this incident and sow discord between the Alliance and the Empire, or use these people for experiments-"
He stopped talking, for the stars were standing across from him, looking at him with calm, deep eyes.
"Actually, that's what youkai are meant to be." The girl in the dress said softly, "Respect strength, strong youkai fight each other, weak youkai die, and then are used as food. She shook her head slightly, "The existence of the Alliance has been, but it has never caused it to die completely. Perhaps one day, everything will return to what it was before the alliance was founded, waiting for a new order to be born out of it, and then repeat itself. β
Noka shook his hand and closed his mouth, still slightly dissatisfied in his expression. Once again, Yuffie remembered the scene Jill had described. The situation in the narrative was so different from the present that it was hard for her to believe that there was no particular reason for that.
Even so, she didn't think that the kind of society that Jill described was more suitable for youkai...... and the survival of humanity. More than a month in Lily of the Valley Village was enough to convince her that the nature of the monsters was not brutal. The so-called respect for strength has different interpretations in different contexts.
"I don't know if you're right, but I prefer the current yokai." Yuffie looked at the starry eyes, unable to read any emotion in them - the other party hid everything well behind those clear eyes, "You said you came to investigate the events here, then ...... What are you going to do. β
"Based on the results observed so far, I believe that the existing investigation team does not have the capacity to resolve this incident. I will report to the elders of Xiyang City on the information I have investigated, and then wait for the next assignment from the Alliance. "Of course, I will also repay you to them about your actions." β
"Waiting for the Alliance to send reinforcements...... Lin frowned, obviously not very happy with this plan, "How long will it take?" β
"About twenty days, the shortest." Mantianxing shrugged his shoulders, "The Geerno people will arrive earlier, and it will probably take more than ten days." β
Then it will be too late. At that time, I am afraid that more than half of these sleeping monsters will be completely devoured by the existence in the sky. It wasn't the ending to look forward to, but Mantianxing was right, she really didn't have any effective means for that huge "monster".
Once again, there was silence in the village. Yuffie knew that she didn't have to take any responsibility for what was happening, but that time in Lily of the Valley had a hard time convincing her to sit back and watch it all. Lin seemed to share her thoughts, and she set her sights on Noka, hoping that the other party would come up with some creative idea.
The little Gernor man clasped his hands to his chest and paced around quickly with his head bowed, apparently in deep thought.
"Surely you can't treat these youkai...... Reversing the current state of affairs requires a lot of research data...... Even if a vaccine against this symptom can be developed, I am afraid it will not take time for it to take effect......" Noka kept muttering, and Yuffie could only hear about half of what he said, "Let me think of a better way to get that youkai out of here...... Pregnant! β
He jumped in front of the starry sky, his eyes shining straight into the girl's face, "I said, if I can solve this problem, what reward can your alliance give me?" β
"Depends on what you want." The girl in the dress finally smiled, "If you have the heart, it is possible to be chosen as one of the elders of the Alliance." β
"That's it." Noka waved his hand again and again, indicating that he was not interested in it, "In this way, if you can let me open a rune technology workshop in Xiyang City, I will try my best to help you this time!" β
Yuffie thought that Miss Messenger would need to think about it a little longer, but she replied easily, "That's fine. As long as you apply to open a workshop in Xiyang City in the name of your mother, I think the elders will soon agree. β
"Hmm...... It looks like you're not lying, so that's good! Noka stared at the girl for a long time before nodding in satisfaction, "That's it!" Moreover, even if I accidentally die, the workshop cannot be recovered, but will continue to be run by the Gerno people! β
Noka downplayed death as if he were talking about the little things that would happen every day, such as eating and drinkingβand Yuffie wasn't sure if all the Gurnos were like that. Unsurprised, the stars replied softly, still smiling, "As you wish, Mr. Noka Main." β
"Then there's only one question left." The Gerno people finally got the topic back on track, "How can we find the key point of that 'youkai'!" β
"Critical?" Rin's eyes lit up, and she was very interested in Noka's idea, "But is there really a so-called important thing about such a big monster?" β
"How do you know if you don't try it!" Noka looked up at Lynn, "You know, snakes have seven inches, dragons have scales, and many creatures have deadly parts. Even if this monster looks very unusual, eighty percent is no exception! The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but jump on the instrument on the side, "It's impossible for a normal youkai to be so big, I'm afraid it's the product of some kind of talent, and his body is probably hiding somewhere." It's a pity I can't see him, if I can analyze the data to-"
"I don't think it's going to be that much trouble." The blonde girl shook her head, "I was able to find the location you said I was talking about. β
"Huh?" This time it was Noka's turn to be dumbfounded, "What can you do-"
"Don't forget, I told you that I'm a dragon. Sensing powerful creatures in the vicinity is also one of our talents. Lin smiled with satisfaction, "When I went to check on other villages just now, I felt that something was watching me from a certain direction...... Now it's explained. She nodded vigorously, as if she had made up her mind, "I'll find out the so-called 'essence' or 'key', and deal with that youkai...... Are you sure it's okay? β
"I don't know, but, for the sake of the future of rune technology, try it anyway!" Noka clenched his fists hard, his face full of excitement, "Anyway, I'll find a way to deal with him, if ...... If you can't help! β
"Don't underestimate people." Lynn raised her hand and high-fived the Gerno, "Then let's move on to the next step." β
The two of them discussed the details of the action one by one, and Yuffie listened to their conversation with a little energy. She knew that Noka was taking a risk: the whole plan was full of speculation and uncertainty, like the exploding 'plane'. But she was also reluctant to stop Gernor and Lynn - if their plan had come true, the disaster would have ended far better than expected.
She was not involved in the discussion. Because while Noka was frowning and muttering, a girl in a dress walked up to her and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"On behalf of my mother, Rogen, I extend an invitation to you as a guestβwhether or not to say yes, and for a certain time, Ms. Yuffie Stanmidz."
