Chapter 297: Divine Shadow
The old but still working TV shows classic Hong Kong Island movies from the 90s of the last century. People in suits and leather shoes sat at the gambling table, flipping cards in their hands, and pushed out the chips in front of them with great vigour.
They also have a slender figure, a beautiful female companion wearing a beautiful dress and showing a swan neck by the side, and their faces are full of winners in life, which attracts the incomparable yearning of everyone in front of the TV.
Because of the age, the picture quality of the TV is very rough, and the sound is also a little distorted, but this does not prevent the two viewers from watching it with relish.
"I've decided!" The dragon flapped its wings with some interest, causing a gust of wind on the platform. His eyes, which were already as hot as magma, seemed to be a little brighter, "Let's play a new game, let's play betting!" ”
"That ......," the boy raised his hand weakly, "I've heard that gambling is bad. ”
"I'm not human, so why should I follow your rules." The dragon said this, and even the immature knew the difference between the two.
The dragon propped himself up, his big paws skilfully rummaging through his collection, pulling out discs that were the size of a grain of rice compared to him. Looking at the names on those DVDs, almost all the gambling-related movies in Hong Kong films are covered in them. The variety is so rich that one can't help but wonder what exactly is in his collection.
Putting the DVD next to the TV, he leaned back in front of the TV with great interest, as if he really wanted to find out the rules of gambling through these movies.
"Actually, if you want to play, I have something else here."
A voice that didn't belong to a dragon or a boy sounded above the platform, and the scales of the dragon's body that heard it stood up like a fried cat. He stood up and stepped back, casually shielding his TV and his collection behind him. The little boy on the side had already skillfully hidden in the pile of debris on the side.
After doing this, the dragon's slender neck bent into an exaggerated appearance, and its golden eyes narrowed slightly, making an attack posture like a snake and staring directly at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. The monstrous maw opened slightly, easily shredding the body of any creature, and its sharp fangs were exposed.
On the platform, where there was originally only one dragon and one person, there was a black shadow of the mold lake that appeared there at some point. A black mist surrounded his body, forming a cloak that resembled an armor cape. He looked a little thin, as if the dragon could blow it down with a gentle exhalation, hidden under the cloak, his entire face covered by the brim of the cloak, and only the pale chin that felt a little transparent and unrealistic.
The aura of death and ominous came from his body, and he could never be considered a living creature, and he quietly looked at the dragon in front of him with the rainbow boy hole hidden in his cloak, as if waiting for his answer. In this only one, and extremely bizarre rainbow-colored child's hole, there seems to be a mysterious aura hidden that is somewhat different from his gloomy appearance. Under the superposition of the two, he has a treacherous temperament between gods and demons.
The other man didn't move, and the dragon bared his teeth, but he didn't dare to really bite down. His innate instinct told him that if he really bit it, maybe he would be the one who suffered. Moreover, biting this kind of offensive method that only irrational animals use, he uses it too cheaply.
"Who are you?" The dragon asked vigilantly, compared to the little boy who got lost and lost and entered here, the guy in front of him who was more like a dead man or a dead dragon than a living person was obviously not here to play with him. Although on the topic of whether or not to live this topic he himself seems to be in the same state.
"I'm also a lost person." The dark shadow replied, "I got lost while playing hide and seek with people, and then I came here." ”
This answer may not even be believed by the little boy on the side, and the dragon who also does not believe it is prostrated by the dragon, and its hideous mouth opens even wider, revealing the red dragon flame inside, which can incinerate everything.
The blazing breath overflowed, and the platform, which had been in a cold environment all day, rolled up bursts of hot air that made people feel uncomfortable. Flames converged in the dragon's mouth, and it seemed that in the next second, flames that would easily melt even the hardest metal touched would sweep across the platform.
The hot wind whipped up sand and dust and swept past the black shadow, but it seemed to pass through it directly, and it didn't interfere with him in any way.
And the flame in the dragon's mouth still did not come after all, the flame was extinguished, the dragon lowered his head and leaned a little closer: "You seem to have been by our side for a while, since you don't take advantage of that time, you should be a good person." The TV I watch is like this, the bad guys generally like to do sneak attacks. ”
The black shadow stood in place and did not speak, only one of its rainbow eyes looked at the huge figure in front of him through the black mist, looking up and down at this dragon whose mind seemed to be simply a little too much.
The dragon's body shrank back slightly, he didn't really like the eyes looking at him. It's obviously not much shorter than him, but the feeling of looking down from a high place makes him subconsciously want to escape.
The black shadow was exposed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly curved: "But not all bad guys like sneak attacks, how can you be sure that I must be a good person?" ”
The dragon seemed startled, and then retreated vigilantly, until it clung to the rock wall and disappeared into the shadows. This looks a little weak, and his terrifying appearance can be said to be very different. Without this hideous appearance, he might just be a big cat with a bit of nervousness...... Or a kitten.
"Are you a bad person, then?" He asked, then shrunk a little deeper, his body completely hidden in the darkness, like a dormant viper or an apex predator. But he ignored it, his big golden eyes were still round open. Under the golden light, it didn't give people any sense of fear, but a little bit of stupidity.
If it were a furry animal, it might be cute, but the whole body of the dragon is not cute except for the tone.
"It depends on who it is, and I'm definitely a bad guy for the bad guys." The dark shadow replied, and then he looked up at the dragon, the rainbow hole seemed to be able to see through the dragon's hideous appearance.
He then asked, "Then I ask you, are you a good dragon or a bad dragon?" ”
Shrinking in the innermost part of the platform, confusion flashed in the dragon's golden eyes, and the body that had been vigilant unconsciously relaxed. After being silent for a long time, he said with confusion: "...... I don't know, my sister didn't teach me this. ”
The black shadow was also silent for a while, and sighed inexplicably: "...... Compared to your sister, you're a good dragon. ”
Hearing this, the dragon came to his senses, he craned up his dragon neck and leaned over, and asked without any vigilance before, "Have you seen my sister?" ”
"Well, I did, just now, but she may be busy right now, and probably doesn't have time to come to you." The pressure of a huge body far exceeding that of all creatures on the surface of the earth was enough to make anyone faint directly was obviously useless to the dark shadow. After all, he seems to be a little more powerful than the former when it comes to being scary.
The dragon that came to the spirit quickly withered again, and looked obviously unhappy: "Sister used to be like this...... She must be doing her business now, and she'll come to me when it's over. ”
The dragon said with hope, his eyes full of longing for his sister.
“…… Perhaps. The black image shrugged his shoulders, and then, in front of the dragon, in his surprised gaze, pulled out a black box that looked like a television receiver from his mist-covered body, as well as two small boxes with wires and buttons.
He glanced down and silently pushed the box back: "I took it wrong, this seems to be a little unsuitable for children." ”
Then he took out a white vertical box, placed it on the ground, and pulled out the LCD screen that clearly did not match his physique. The 70-inch screen is not much more advanced than the old TV set treasured by the dragon.
With a curious look, the dragon's head probed closer: "Is this a game console?" I've seen it on TV, and it seems to be fun. Is that what you said was fun? ”
"That's right, and the game board." The black shadow nodded, and scattered a bunch of red hats, green hats, and doughnuts from Black Mist's body.
Then he came closer, and after a burst of black fog, he asked in a seductive tone, "Do you want it?" ”
“…… May I? The dragon's Adam's apple moved up and down, and even more golden light overflowed from its already golden eyes, with great longing. The colorful appearance of these packaging boxes immediately aroused his desire to collect.
"Of course you can......" Shadow nodded, but his voice changed, "I may need some help from you, though." ”
Hearing this, the dragon became vigilant again, and silently shrank back into the shadows. He didn't speak, but the meaning of defense in the golden giant eyes was far greater than before.
"It's not difficult to relax." The black shadow slowly explained, "I said it before, I got lost here when I was playing hide and seek with people, that guy is hiding quite deeply, and I haven't found it yet." ”
The dragon was still silent, and under the huge shadow, his golden eyes reflected the undead figure in front of him with the black mist flying. After a long time, he said, "I can't help you with this, I can't get out of here myself." ”
"Of course you don't need to leave here, you can help me wherever you are, and that's something that only you can do." The dark shadow looked at him, and the rainbow eyes revealed an inexplicable hint of kindness. He was more like coaxing a child than trading toys.
The dragon's huge head slowly poked out, and he was a little hidden, but he didn't hide it at all, and peeked at the console next to the black shadow. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, you can talk about ......"
……
This is a secluded and silent cave in the Nibelungen, where old-fashioned and dilapidated carriages are haphazardly piled up in one corner, and the smell of rust and decay fills the air. Unlike the abandoned carriages around, there are "big guys" parked on a section of the railway that is still intact and completely inconsistent with the old atmosphere around them, and even the latest trains in the outside world are completely incomparable.
No face to see! Ronald in the control room covered his face with one hand and could no longer look directly at the scene on the surveillance screen in front of him. He didn't want to admit that the stupid guy in the picture was his brother.
“…… It's a little hard for us to do that. Lu Shanyan, who was also in front of the control room, also covered his face with one hand, and they had been observing this big guy for a while after Chu Zihang.
But the big guy was either playing or snacking or taking a nap while watching TV. In short, if you don't look at this hideous and somewhat over-the-top appearance, this is a playful, food-loving and sleepy child...... No, a big kid weighing dozens of tons.
Sitting in the corner of the control room, Menek, who had not yet recovered from the entanglement, glanced up: "Isn't it very good, you don't have to have to work hard to win a dragon king." ”
"Of course I know this, but ...... in this way" Lu Shanyan still covered his face, and he paused when he said this, it seemed that a dragon king had treated them in the same way before, and now he was like a nobody, and no dragon king consciously stayed with them at all...... It might have made sense to think about it, but he didn't seem to have the face to continue.
"Speaking of which, there seems to be something wrong with the little guy." Menek looked at the corner of the surveillance screen, where was the platform where Chu Zihang was before, and now it was full of snowflakes.
However, even if the monitoring is disconnected, there is still a link between them to the magic loop. The little guy had also explained that he had just encountered a little trouble, but judging from the sound coming from there, it was really not a small movement.
Even though he still seemed to be at ease, there was a soot and a chief sent over. Even if the young teacher's teeth and claws are already sharp, he still has the old lion watching from his side. What's more, this lion cub is not a prey that can be slaughtered.
Somewhere in the control room, the air rippled, and the tiger who had lifted his stealth said with an incredulous expression: "Is that guy really the Dragon King?" Why do I think that the fake dragon king mentioned by Little Guy Chu before is more fierce than him? ”
Menek shrugged his shoulders undeniably, and came to slay the dragon with enthusiasm, only to meet such a lazy big guy, no matter who would feel very disillusioned.
"Alright, we'll be busy soon." Ronald took what the tiger had brought back, and it was a card of pure gold, probably made of gold pieces that the big guy on the platform had picked up on the ground.
Inserting the card into the console in front of him, a huge map was projected in the control room.
"Okay, let me see where you're hiding......" Ronald's eyes flashed with excitement, and he glanced at a certain scene on the surveillance screen, where a tall and mighty gunman rode by quickly on an eight-legged horse. His helmet and masked face had one eye glowing like a fiery golden light.
"Let me lift your mask and see who's down there."
