CHAPTER XXXVII

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Could it be that she saw me when I was wearing a mask just now?

What should I do?!

If she knew that I was Long Yu and saw the tattoo on my forehead, what would she think of me in the future?!

Doesn't it mean that no one can come in? Then how can she come in? Oh my God, you don't come in early or late, why do you come in at this time!

......

I was so desperate that I almost wanted to scream, my hands clenched into fists, my nails digging deep into my flesh, but I didn't feel anything. I forced a smile at her, but the muscles on my face were tense and convulsed, and I opened my mouth to say something, only to find that I couldn't squeeze even a trace of air out of my lungs......

It's over, it's all over...... I thought sadly, and even suddenly felt the urge to draw my sword and kill myself......

Blankly watching as Snow City Moon approached with a look of surprise, he pointed to my forehead and said in surprise, "What happened last night? Why do you have lip prints on your mask?!"

In my panic, I almost took off my mask to see what was going on, but luckily I calmed down the moment I touched the mask...... Oh, it's a lip print, not a tattoo. It's a wonderful feeling to be back on earth from hell...... Wait, how can I have lip prints on my mask?!

"Lip prints?!" I cried out in surprise, my trembling voice making me wonder if it was a human sound.

"Oh, could it be that some girl sneaked into the nursing room where no one was allowed to enter, and kissed you in your sleep?"

Ena ...... No wonder the nurse just now looked at me and smiled ambiguously when she mentioned Ah Bing, could it be that she thought that Ah Bing and I were ...... Oh, my God!

My face heated up all of a sudden, and I avoided her eyes and said awkwardly, "Big ...... Something like this......"

"Hahahaha...... You blush so cute!" Xue Chengyue couldn't help but laugh, bent down with a smile, and stood up straight for a long time, but still pretended to blink mysteriously and said, "No wonder that nurse asked me why I came to see you just now, it turned out to be ...... Hee-hee......"

In order to avoid this embarrassing question, I could only cough a few times before I looked left and right and said, "Did you skip class today?" Didn't the principal say that no one was allowed to hit me...... Oh, did you visit me? How did you get in?"

"Hehe, yesterday your cousin defeated that bastard of Skyle, and this girl is in a good mood today, so she took a leave of absence from class to see your heroic cousin. This hospital has 80% of the shares of our Dong Jian family, why do you say I can come in?" Xue Chengyue winked at me proudly, glanced at the environment in the room again, and then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, the conditions here are really good, but why can you get out of bed so quickly? When I entered the door just now, I thought I would see you lying motionless on the bed, who knew that you could still get up and rummage through the closet, it really scared me!" Hmph, that bastard headmaster ordered that no one should come to see you, that's a bit of a fuss......"

"Yesterday I was bleeding profusely, and the principal suspected that it was some kind of malignant infectious disease, so he ...... "It seems that the joke just now is really a good explanation! Well, I can also take the opportunity to take revenge on the panic she brought me uninvited, hehe."

"Malignant contagion?!" Syracuse repeated with a stupid frown, as if thinking about what this meant, and then, as if suddenly coming to her senses, immediately jumped three feet away from me, and cautiously looked me up and down before saying, "You shouldn't be reflecting the light now......

"Have you ever seen such a spiritual reflection?!" I rolled my eyes at her.

"It's hard to say...... The legendary warrior Trua was able to kill twelve blood-clothed witches before he died, who knows if you will change your clothes and go to that young and beautiful nurse to woo before you die?!" Syracuse Moon covered his mouth and chuckled, and that teasing look made me feel an inexplicable grievance. Ena, you've hurt me......

"Truya?Blood-clothed Witch?What is that?" Well, since I was a child, I have cultivated a skill that even if the evidence of my heinous evil deeds is right in front of me, I can change my color and take care of it left and right, and now is a good time for me to show my talents!

"Oh my God...... Xue Chengyue covered her forehead in pain, shook her head and sighed, "You are really an out-and-out ...... What about idiots......"

"Oh?" I blinked, was this common sense that everyone should know?

"It doesn't matter if you don't know Ratchet and Mekel, the dragoon doesn't know, and I thought you were born with a mental retard, but you don't even know Trua and the Blood-Cloaked Witch, don't you even have a fully developed brain?"

At this time, Xue Chengyue looked at me in the eyes, as if she was looking at a hopelessly retarded person, and I couldn't help but start to wonder, am I really as stupid as she said?

"Well, if you can be sure that your cousin will be coming to my family tonight, I'll tell you the ins and outs of this legend, how about it?"

...... "Xue Chengyue, Xue Chengyue, you are really a great profiteer! No wonder you scolded me for nothing just now, you wanted to take the opportunity to buy me! Anyway, I will definitely go tonight, why don't you sell her a favor?"

Seeing me nodding, Xue Chengyue immediately showed a sweet smile, then cleared her throat, sat on the chair next to the bed, folded her plump and soft snow legs to clamp her skirt, and said to me with a smile: "Mr. Leng Yu, please lie down, the little woman will give you a detailed explanation......"

"In fact, no one has been able to confirm whether Truja existed. It's as if Adam and Eve, the first human beings, ever existed. If humans can find Noah's Ark, they will be able to confirm the truth of that legend, and if humans can find the mysterious sword called Snow White Feather that Trua used, they will be able to confirm his existence. However, some people wonder if the Big Bang 20,000 years ago was the so-called Judgment Day in the prophecy...... Alas, I guess you have to ask too much about it again, so it's better to get straight to the topic. ”

I rolled my eyes at her, and said to myself that I would be an idiot if I didn't know about Judgment Day...... Fortunately, Syracuse Moon was thinking about how to organize the language with her head down at the moment, and she didn't notice my very disrespectful behavior.

"Well, if we want to talk about Trua, we have to start with the events of 12,000 years after the Big Bang. At a time when science was still the main productive force, magic was just beginning to shine brightly. At that time, the society was in turmoil, because in addition to humans, there was another brutal and advanced creature in the world. They are not afraid of the sophisticated weapons that humans are proud of, because their thick armor is not afraid of bullets, and the various sophisticated heavy weapons that require precise guidance can damage them, but they are useless because they possess a skill called 'Niansi'. This nary is a magical weapon that blinds electronic weapons and directs them to attack other targets. As a result, humanity has suffered a great loss, and a tenth of its population and civilization have disappeared under the weapons of man's own invention. After many such one-sided battles, the weapons and equipment of the human world were exhausted and their production was banned. Of course, this is just a legend of the end of the last generation of human weapons civilization, and there are many other theories, such as the loss of the production method of such weapons after the Big Bang, or the nuclear explosion......

"And the existence of this terrifying creature has not been proven to this day. According to various records handed down from people at the time, they came here through a spatial rift created by the Big Bang. They are very large and resemble various insects. Because they are not things of this world, their food chain does not include the various creatures of our world. But they love to kill, and almost nothing is left in their passes. ...... But in the last three hundred years, no one has been able to find any trace of their existence, neither the chasm, nor the battlefields they left behind, nor their massive corpses. So all of this can only be said to be a legend......"

When Xue Chengyue said this, she suddenly added: "My grandfather once said that in fact, those traces did not never appear, but were deliberately erased. We don't know what kind of mentality the people who erased those traces have, but they certainly don't have any good intentions. Because the enemies of the warrior Trua, they are them. ”

After talking for a long time, it turns out that what I talked about at the beginning has nothing to do with Truya...... However, I have to admire Snow City's eloquence, her sweet voice with a slightly serious demeanor, coupled with the afterglow of ancient times in her tone, makes all kinds of images come to my mind. Although I don't know how far away those images are from the reality, I can make such associations, which shows that the level of storytelling in Syracuse is quite high.

"How those horrible creatures disappeared, as much as how they appeared, is still a source of confusion for all humans. And how long the period between their appearance and disappearance lasted is still debated. Some say it was only twenty years, others say they appeared for three hundred years. One of the most abusive theories is that they don't stay in the world all the time, but emerge from the cracks every once in a while in search of some kind of ore. The kind of ore they need was the kind of ore that appeared in this world after the Big Bang, which is the parent component of the various hedrons now. This theory originated from a woman's diary, because of the peculiarity of the woman's identity, and the fact that this diary is not known to most people, so it was preserved by someone with a heart when the enemies of the warrior Trua erased this history. But all the clues to their existence and disappearance provided in the diary have been lost. According to the diary, they appear every twenty years, a total of seventeen times, each time for about five to seven months. After that, humans never found them again. And this terrifying memory has been slowly eroded with the long river of history......

And all the clues and accounts about this creature are just a myth to most people, and many people laugh at whether they ever existed. But my grandfather told me that they did exist, and that the disappearance of these clues was related to a religious war. ”

Xue Chengyue paused for a moment when she talked about this, tilted her head and thought about it, and then slowly started talking again.

"It was 14,700 years after the Big Bang that a merchant named Polante Kufa appeared, who was a great mage who was skilled in healing wounds and healing diseases, and seemed to have been inextricably linked to the political circles of the time, and secretly controlled the trade in salt, tobacco and alcohol, and thus became a smash hit monopoly. He then founded the Cult of the Moon of Ink, later known as the Cult of the Demon Moon, and the main god he set up was called 'Adam', a god with seven ears who could hear all the wishes and lamentations of people's hearts. With his own financial resources, Kufa recruited a large number of capable people, and twelve of them were made holy Dharma kings by him. Kufa then opened the altar and offered Adam a sacrifice on the night of the full moon with something called 'karangrass'. Because of his influence in political circles, the government opened up a pasture for him in an inaccessible place to grow this peculiar grass. At that time, the teachings of the Moyue Sect were to make people forget all the sad and sad things, and abandon the burden in their hearts, and Kufa himself was a great mage who was proficient in healing injuries and healing diseases, and immediately attracted countless followers, who donated money and property to join the Moyue Sect without hesitation. And that 'Karan grass' has become a sacred grass that almost every family grows.

But no one thought that this holy grass was actually a tool used by Kufa to enslave his disciples. The cultivation of karan grass requires a very special liquid as fertilizer in order to survive, and this liquid is made from raw materials unknown to humans, and only Kufa has the formula for this liquid medicine. And there is a reason why karan grass can be called holy grass. The juice squeezed from its stems and leaves contains an ingredient that allows humans to be almost quickly relieved from their ailments, and can give people a strange hallucination, as if everything around him can make him feel extremely happy, and all painful memories will be completely forgotten. It's a pity that while this grass brings happiness to people, it also ruthlessly destroys the human immune system and makes people addicted to it.

"Fourteen thousand seven hundred and fifty-two years after the Big Bang, Kufa issued a fatwa stating that in order to obtain the cultivation liquid of the holy grass, it must be exchanged for hedron ore. At that time, it was illegal to mine and sell spars without permission from the government, but the seven million members of the church took action almost overnight, smashing pots and selling iron to make money to buy spars, and the young adults of the whole village went out to mine spar mines collectively. The situation got out of control all of a sudden, and the government sent troops to suppress it, but many of those troops were members of the Moyue Sect, and internal and external troubles made the army almost vulnerable in front of the crazy cultists, and it collapsed in just a week or two. The government, which had lost its army, had become a useless ornament, so to speak, and they did not understand the horror of Kufa until this moment.

"At that time, there was no such thing as a dragoon, and only six or seven docile herbivorous dragons of the dragon family were domesticated and used as production tools. Because dragons are not only huge, but they are also much more agile than the large automated devices of humans, and when they are controlled with hedrons, they are as easy to control as an arm's finger. At this time, some people suggested that in the case of insufficient manpower, dragons can be used to supplement the shortage of personnel, as long as each dragon armed with armor* is controlled by one person, it can be equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a platoon or even a company. This proposal was immediately adopted, because the government at that time was already on the verge of collapse at any moment.

"In the three years since, the war between the Moyue Sect and the government has been continuous, but because the herbivorous dragon is not bloodthirsty, and has no other combat ability other than ramming and trampling, the government has always been at a disadvantage. And in these three years, Kufa collected millions of tons of hedron ore through his followers......"

Speaking of this, Snow City Moon paused, and then said thoughtfully: "My grandfather said that in those three years, there were quite few records about the Twelve Holy Dharma Kings, and if he was not mistaken, the Twelve Holy Dharma Kings were embarking on another task, which was to collect and destroy all the clues about the existence of that terrifying creature back then. Because there was a strange group of thieves who were stealing from all sorts of albums, photographs, and everything else about a certain period of history. And whenever the army prepares to take action against it, it will be disturbed by the members of the Moyue Sect. And by linking the woman's diary to Kufa's actions, it's not hard to see the connection. But why Kufa wanted to eliminate these clues, my grandfather didn't figure it out either. ”

"Oh, indeed, they're all aiming for hedron mines......" I nodded, frowning and thinking for a long time, suddenly remembering the few fragmentary hallucinations Locke had triggered when he pricked me with a needle last time. Cracked, mountain-like corpses...... Oh my God, could it be that the hallucination has something to do with something 8,000 years ago?!

I shuddered involuntarily and wondered. How could I hallucinate like this? If this had happened, then that Are...... Who is it?!

When I was still thinking nonsense, Snow City Moon suddenly laughed: "Hehe, I was going to tell you the story of Truya, but I didn't expect to talk about him for a long time." But if I don't tell you all this, I'll feel guilty that I didn't explain it to you, ......," she said and deliberately wrinkled her eyebrows and sighed, pretending to be pitiful and asked me, "Do you still want to hear it?" If you don't want to listen to it anymore, I'll be very sad!"

“...... Of course you have to listen, at least you'll have to tell me about Truja......"

"Hehe, I knew you'd want to hear it. But there's very little left. Well, through those three years of tug-of-war war, the human race finally made up its mind to put the carnivorous dragon into the war, so the dragoon was officially established. But at this time, there were only a few spars in the government's hands that could be used to control dragons. Even if you go to mine, I am afraid that there is no guarantee that you will not be robbed by the crazy cultists on the way back. It was at this time that Trua appeared, and a series of mysterious events began to surround him. First of all, the thief group failed several times in succession, and then the altar of Kufa was attacked by this man, and legend has it that he destroyed eleven branches of Kufa with one man and one sword, and burned the raw materials of those potions cleanly, and even the headquarters was attacked by him many times. And the appearance of this person did not attract the attention of the government at first, until Kufa suddenly recalled the Twelve Holy Dharma Kings and announced that he would kill this person at all costs. The enemy of our enemies is our friend, and with this in mind, the government immediately took Trua very seriously and sent troops to protect him. Later, the government learned that the reason why Kufa was very jealous of Truja was because Trua was not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also had the ability to control dragons, which was a huge threat to Kufa. And just after Trua joined the government army, the tide of the battle immediately began to change, the flesh-eating dragon could be manipulated by Trua without passing through the hedrons, and under his command, the Moyue Cult suffered repeated defeats, resulting in Kufa having to lead the twelve holy Dharma kings to disappear. At this time, the government began a large-scale sweep of the sacred grass, and all men who planted this plant in their homes, whether they were members of the Moyue Sect or not, had to pick off the tendons of one hand. After that, because countless congregations did not have the supply of that kind of juice, and when the immune function completely disappeared, a large number of infectious diseases began to spread in the human world, and this situation lasted for two whole generations before gradually disappearing. Speaking of this, Syracuse stopped again, sighed slightly, and said, "Human beings always like to make trouble for themselves, and the lessons learned from each mistake are always borne by their own descendants. This is probably the kind of inferiority that comes from human beings......"

"Hmm, didn't you say that Trua killed twelve blood-clothed witches before he died, and why is this the end?" I couldn't help but ask curiously when I saw Syracuse Moon stop.

"Well, after I have been talking for so long, and my mouth is dry, can't you let me rest for a while?

"Oh...... It's not over yet. Aren't Truya already victorious, how could he die again?...... "A strong curiosity compelled me to ask all these questions.

"That's right, the Twelve Holy Dharma Kings are the Twelve Blood-Cloaked Witches, and Trua has indeed won. It's a pity that the government finally reconsolidated its position, and naturally it will not let others take away the fruits of this victory from their hands, so they began to plot to kill Truya.

"Alas...... Politics is so dark, you want to be a gentleman, but others always think that you are a villain like them. Because of Truya's superior martial arts, according to my grandfather, his strength is probably beyond the reach of today's Golden Emblem Dragoons, except for Kufa and his Twelve Holy Dharma Kings, almost no one is a general under him, so the government does not dare to assassinate him rashly. Because once Truya is provoked, I am afraid that overnight, the government will be trampled by countless flesh-eating dragons, and those high-ranking officials are even more worried that they will die under the sword of Truya's wrath. So the government sent someone to deliberately leak Truya's whereabouts to Kufa and others, and put an imperceptible chronic poison in Truya's food. After a series of careful arrangements, Trua finally fell into the trap set by the government, and at this time, the resentful Kufa led the twelve holy kings to suddenly appear, wanting to get rid of him while he was poisoned. Truya was unable to exert his true combat power because of the strange poison in his body, and was soon seriously injured by Kufa and others, just before he died, Trua suddenly roared, and killed the twelve holy Dharma kings with a sword, and even Kufa was seriously injured......"

"What?!Before he died, he killed the Twelve Holy Dharma Kings with a single sword?!Then why didn't he use this trick earlier!" I was fascinated by it, and immediately shouted out in a heartless manner.

"Hmm......" Snow City Moon glanced at me complainingly, as if she was unhappy that I had suddenly interrupted her, and then said, "Actually, I was just as curious as you were at the time, since I had this kind of swordsmanship, why did I use it before I died? According to the surviving members of the government army at the time, the speed and magnificence of Truya's sword had exceeded the limits of human imagination, and in just an instant, countless buildings around him collapsed under the power of his swordsmanship, and even the once-powerful Kufa couldn't dodge......" Speaking of this, Snow City Moon stopped again, staring at the sky outside the window, as if she was leisurely fascinated by the peerless demeanor of Truya's sword before he died......

"Uh...... What about Kufa? Did Kufa get injured and escape?" "I don't have the time to imagine that kind of thing, destroying all the buildings around me with a sword, which I am afraid can only be done by an earthquake!

"Oh......" Syracuse Moon was slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses and continued, "Later, Kufa was captured by government forces because he was seriously injured, and he was executed in public......"

When I heard that Kufa had been put to death, I relieved myself and frowned and said, "Is that Truya a fool? ”

"Hehe, I don't know why. However, because the government did not do this honorably, it destroyed all the evidence afterwards. However, facts are facts, and they cannot be covered up, and the framing of Trua was finally exposed. But because all the relevant records have been destroyed, and since that battle, the snow-white feather of Truya's saber has disappeared without a trace, and after six thousand years, the authenticity of this character's existence has naturally become very small. Nowadays, people often read the story of this person as a legend, but rarely study whether he exists, because the person who can possess that kind of power has lost the authenticity of his existence. ”

I nodded, and said approvingly: "Indeed, I'm afraid that there is really no one in this world who can have such a strong strength, even if it is a super high-level fantasy-level forbidden magic, although it can achieve this kind of destructive power, but it requires a long time of chanting and enough energy, even if it is a desperate counterattack before death, the instantaneous explosive power can at most spread to the surrounding range of twenty or thirty meters......"

"Oh, I can't imagine that you still have a lot of research on this?!Hehe, it seems that I'm going to start to look at you, it's not simple, it's not simple. Snow City Yue said with a smile, then looked at the time, then shrugged her shoulders and said: "Alas, time flies so fast, all of a sudden class is over, you have a good rest, rest assured, what a malignant infectious disease, the principal scares you! I'm going to class, goodbye oh......"

When I walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and said to me: "By the way, I have already told the dean, your hospitalization fee plus all other expenses are all free, I think Ah Bing will be relieved if he hears this news......?" Don't forget, your cousin must come in the evening! If you're recovering well, try to come too, I've always wanted to see what it would be like if you stood together?!"

If we're standing together? It's going to be a ghost...... I muttered quietly as Syracuse vanished from my sight......

At noon, Ah Bing brought me lunch again, and when the nurse saw that it was him, she just smiled ambiguously and let him in. Seeing that my complexion returned to normal, Ah Bing kept snickering.

"Ah Bing, are you happy today? Why are you always smiling......

"Oh?!Of course I'm glad to see you recover. But I do have one thing to tell you, but I said don't be angry!" Bing smiled mysteriously at me as he busily poured the delicious soup out of the thermos.

"Say, say, how could I be angry with you?"

"Today, Ah Yue said that she would hold a dinner party at her house in the evening, and she said that she would invite us to it! I heard that your cousin was also invited. I just thought you wouldn't be able to go, so I didn't agree, and who knows if you don't have anything to do now. Hehe, are you angry with me now?!" Ah Bing stuck out his tongue at me, and said, "Actually, it's so troublesome to go to that kind of dance, you have to wear very gorgeous clothes, and you have to pretend to be very elegant, and you are very restrained." It's better for the two of us to eat alone. ”

"Oh, Bing, aren't you going too?" I asked, surprised.

"yes, if you don't go, what am I going to do? There is no one to talk to, standing there stupidly, making jokes to others?"

"Oh my God...... What a pity not to go to such a rare opportunity!" I sighed.

"What's so rare? Rich families have dinner parties for entertainment, and even if they are for celebration, they don't even have the atmosphere they should have. Yu, I'll stay with you tonight, okay?" Ah Bing asked me softly as he held up the spoon containing the soup to my lips.

"Uh......" After I took a sip of soup, I frowned and said, "Ah Bing, you better go, outsiders are not allowed to come in here at night." When you go, you can help me eat more of the dishes that you don't normally eat, and if you allow, you can pack them back for me to taste!"

"Ahh

"Ah Bing, think about it, you must be the upper-class celebrities who can go there tonight, how many beautiful and handsome guys will appear? You look so handsome, maybe you will be caught by a young lady at a glance, and you will immediately become someone else's fast son-in-law, I will eat and drink spicy food in the future, and I will not all * you?!

"......" Ah Bing looked up at me and continued to feed me soup, but did not speak.

"Alas...... Ah Bing, we are all poor now, but my brother has been taken care of by you, which really makes me feel sorry. I would be very happy if you could find a happy home!" I persuaded Ah Bing bitterly. It is said that brothers should be blessed and shared, if I went and he didn't go, what kind of brother is this!

Ah Bing still didn't speak, took out a handkerchief and wiped my mouth, and began to pick up vegetables for me to eat.

"Ah Bing, did you hear what I said......" I was just halfway through my mouth, but Ah Bing suddenly stuffed the dish into my mouth, causing my tongue to be blocked, and I whimpered and said a lot of words that even I couldn't understand clearly. I saw Ah Bing interrupt me angrily and said, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, why do you keep letting me go!"

"......" I looked at Ah Bing blankly, so frightened that I didn't even dare to take a breath. I'm me, I'm here, did I say something wrong?!

"Do you really want to eat those things at the dinner party?" Ah Bing glared at me with a pout, but his tone had softened significantly.

I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly. Ah Bing frowned and thought for a while before pursing his lips helplessly and said, "That'...... Well, huh...... You've been so badly injured, you really need to make up for it...... Alas, Ah Yue wants to accompany your cousin, and I don't know them well, so if you want to pack, you can only secretly beat ...... while they are not paying attention."

"Hehe......" I looked at him with a smirk, not knowing what to say.

"By the way, Yu, your cousin didn't come to see you today. ”

"Well, no...... What's wrong?" Let me come and see me myself? huh......

"Hehe, it's nothing, here's the money your cousin gave you, 1,200 silver Luke! Well, your cousin is really rich!" Ah Bing took out the money from his pocket and stuffed it under my pillow, looking at me with a grin.

"Huh?!" Dizzy, this guy actually gave me back the money I gave him?!

"This is what your cousin gave me last night, and he invited me to drink!" Ah Bing said, but suddenly took out a few Scarlet Moon Pills from under my pillow and asked me in surprise: "Huh, why haven't you eaten yet?!"

"Ah...... This one...... I feel so much better, isn't it a waste to eat it?" I rolled my eyes and immediately changed the subject, "Ah Bing, I think it's better to keep this money for you, since my cousin handed it over to you, naturally he has his intentions......"

"What's the point?" Ah Bing looked at me dumbfoundedly.

"Uh...... He knows that I like to spend money indiscriminately, so he doesn't give me the money directly! haha...... Then, you still take it, if I take it, I'm afraid it will be spent in less than a week, so it's better to give you insurance...... Ah, you can take this medicine back too, I don't think I need it anymore. ”

"Oh......" Ah Bing looked at my face carefully, and then put away the medicine and money, "Then I'll take it back first, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, you know?"

Seeing that I nodded vigorously, Ah Bing laughed, touched my head and said, "Stay here obediently, I will definitely bring you a lot of food back tonight!"
