Chapter 2: Monsters

Bai Ting opened his eyes and found that he had not returned to his living room.

It's in the middle of a galaxy.

Just when he was a little dazed, a piece of information came to his mind.

After a while, Bai Ting digested the information and finally clarified the situation.

This is how Sapphire inspires his abilities. Every star is a destiny, and as long as he plucks the star, he can reproduce those legendary heroes in reality.

Bai Thunder looked around and saw that these stars had their own characteristics.

Red, yellow, purple, green, almost transparent, like a person, like a sword, like a crown, like a mineral water bottle, it is simply strange and all-encompassing.

He struggled to recall his barren knowledge of myths and legends, trying to match the stars in front of him, but ultimately failed.

"Well, it seems that the encyclopedia of world mythology is still too brief." Bai Ting shrugged his shoulders and gave up on the identification.

But when he was about to go to the stars, he ran into problems again.

The stars are not static; They were slowly circling around the white thunder. When the white thunder advances, they retreat; The white thunder retreated, and they advanced.

All he could touch now was the nearest sword-shaped star that glowed red.

"What is this? A beginner's tutorial for gacha games? Despite all the complaints, his body honestly reached out to touch the star.

In an instant, the red light drowned out the white thunder.

……

When you are young, you are far away from your homeland.

"Hmph, let's go to Rome."

The shepherd boy sacrificed his sword and was commanded by heaven.

"Oh? A sword picked up? Is there a voice telling you to give it to me? ”

Assassinate your brother and take power alone.

"How can one country tolerate two masters......"

Swept through East and West Rome, invincible in his life.

"What Eastern Rome and Western Rome are just the granaries of our Hu people!"

Eventually died on the wedding night under the curse of Eros.

“…… What...... Unexpectedly...... Absurd! ”

……

Bai Ting came back to his senses from those pictures and saw the familiar living room of his own house, and the blue-eyed bearded man standing in front of him.

In the information that had just been poured into his head, he was already familiar with this face.

It was none other than Attila, the king of the Huns.

Bai Ting looked at him, and he also looked at Bai Ting.

In the end, it was Attila who was the first to speak: "You are destiny?" ”

"If Destiny is the one who summons you, I am." Bai Ting replied cautiously.

"So—" Attila approached, and Bai Ting's spirit tensed.

When Bai Ting was about to say something more, he was caught off guard and directly reached out and put on his shoulder.

Attila patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "All hook starlings!" I'll cover you later! ”

"Uh, how's big brother?"

"Don't call me big brother! You're destiny! Attila patted Bai Ting vigorously, "It's a bit of a destiny." When I was emperor, I wouldn't call me a brother to anyone below. ”

Didn't you kill your only brother? And that's why you called your buddy first......

Bai Ting was slandered in his heart, and replied with an unchanged expression on his face: "Then can you let me go first?" ”

"Oh! I'm sorry, I was excited for a while, and I didn't pay attention. Attila looked like she had just come to her senses and let go of Bai Ting's shoulders.

"Why are you excited?"

"You die and come back to life, and you are excited."

Bai Ting couldn't help but nodded, it made sense.

"Then why do you call me Destiny?"

"It feels like that's what I should call you."

Yes, asking is the same as not asking.

Bai Ting sighed in his heart, but there was one last question.

"Can you pull the knife light?"

"What? What broach light? ”

"It's just dancing around like this with your sword, and then creating a very cool sword light effect." Bai Ting tried to gesticulate.

Attila was a little confused: "Yes, yes, but what's the point?" ”

Bai Ting said seriously: "Fashionability is the key point to distinguish between decency and villain. ”

"Destiny, you still have a sense of humor!" Attila laughed, "By the way, what year and month is today?" ”

"June 21, 2023, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and today is the summer solstice."

"Oh! Summer solstice! Attila touched her chin, "There is a legend of a monster on the East and West side of Rome, and it is said that the monster's strength will reach its peak during the summer solstice......"

Bai Ting's expression froze. Wait a minute, you're not going to plant a flag, are you?

Attila continued, "I have seen many strange things in my life, and I have even hunted many legendary monsters with my own hands. But I've never seen that kind of monster. Presumably this is just a rumor. ”

No, no, no, your experience is already very detached from reality, so it's better to be a little wary of this kind of legend?!

Bai Ting couldn't hold back his desire to complain, but the sudden shaking of the mountain interrupted him.

"Isn't it, really?"

"This breath!" Attila's eyes became solemn, "What a monster! ”

"That said, is there a possibility that this is the kind of monster you just talked about?"

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"Yes!"

"Hey, put this aside for now. I'll go out and see the monster. ”

As soon as the words fell, before Bai Ting could stop him, Attila took three steps and two steps and jumped out of the balcony directly. Bai Ting quickly ran to the balcony and looked out, and saw Attila leaping between the buildings.

"Running on a vertical wall feels more outrageous than a broach light......" Bai Ting touched his chin, "And it's also very fashionable!" ”

Attila went to join in the fun, and Bai Ting had nothing to do, so he turned back to the living room to see how the news was reported.

"Beep-" The TV turned on.

"Insert an urgent message! An unknown giant creature has appeared in the mountains of Yangcheng, and now the local residents are following the instructions of the police to evacuate quickly, and the army has also been mobilized. Now connect with the reporters on the spot. ”

After the sound of the dood prompt, reporter Liu Dong appeared in the picture.

"Hello Liu Dong."

"Hello host!"

Liu Dong was extremely excited at the moment, originally he was just conducting an ordinary interview mission nearby, but he didn't expect to bump into such a big event. He immediately contacted the headquarters, and the headquarters decided that he would start reporting immediately.

Time is of the essence, and this is a wise saying in journalism.

However, despite his excitement, he maintained the basic qualities of a front-line journalist. After receiving the host's connection, he began to describe the scene.

"We can see that the hippopotamus-shaped monster is walking through the mountains in the direction of the town."

The host asked, "Do you think it's a monster?" ”

"Yes, that's the best way I can describe it." Liu Dong replied.

The host in the live broadcast room turned his gaze to Professor Qin and asked, "Professor Qin, what do you think?" ”

Professor Qin twisted his beard and said, "Reporter Liu Dong is right, that kind of life can indeed only be described as a monster. It's hard to imagine what his biological structure looks like. ”

"Is it possible that it is an illusion like the wolf last time?"

Professor Qin smiled on his face, and he was already scolding in his heart.

It's strange that the wolf is an illusion! At that time, thermal imaging could sweep its body heat. If he hadn't been forcibly requested, he wouldn't have opened his eyes in the live broadcast room before, talking nonsense, and doing anything to refute rumors.

Now that the monster is swaggering through the mountains and even threatening the safety of the town, he can't hide it from him, so he tells the truth.

Why did you go early!

The host reminded again: "Professor Qin? ”

Professor Qin realized that he was distracted, and quickly coughed twice and said, "I was thinking about this wording just now. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's really difficult to give a reasonable explanation for this kind of thing at the first time, and I believe that the audience in front of the TV can also understand."

"This monster is no illusion." "The data returned by the detection machine in the field shows that it is undoubtedly alive. Moreover, the way it looks reminds me of a very classic image. ”

"What image?"

"I wonder if you've read the Old Testament?"

"Hmm...... Although my country has freedom of belief, I am not religious. I wonder what this has to do with the Old Testament? ”

"The monster resembles Behemoth, as described in the Old Testament. According to legend, only the Sword of God could judge it - or the Leviathan, the sea beast, could die with it. ”

"Thank you, Professor Qin, for your popular science. But I think in the face of modern weapons, the so-called monsters should have no resistance. ”

Professor Qin did not speak.

Two fighter jets have arrived at the scene.

As you can see from the footage, the fighters are not attacking immediately, but are circling.

Professor Qin guessed in his heart that he might be shouting at the monster that was suspected to be Behemoth. After all, it hasn't hurt anyone yet, and if there is a possibility of resolving things through communication, of course it would be great.

What happened next made him almost stand up in shock.

"Human, your arrogance makes me laugh." The monster's deep voice was not loud, but it was inexplicably clear, and it could even reach Liu Dong's side.

Although he had imagined that the monster might be intelligent, Professor Qin was still a little incredulous that it could speak to people.

After saying this, the monster roared in the sky, and the two fighters were planted to the ground almost at the same time.

Rumble!

Now, the monster's hostility was revealed.

The host's face was a little solemn and at the same time a little puzzled. It's been broadcast to this kind of scene, and the order to stop the broadcast hasn't been given yet?

But since it hasn't stopped broadcasting, we have to continue reporting.

The host cleared his throat and said, "Good luck to our pilots." Now let's turn our attention again to frontline journalists. Liu Dong, how did it feel to hear the roar of the monster at the scene? ”

Liu Dong's face was simply pale: "I feel like my brain has been hit hard, it's hard to imagine that a roar can have such an effect." ”

Professor Qin continued: "It may not be a simple roar. I'm guessing there's something other than sound waves at work. ”

The host sweated on his forehead, no, Professor Qin, it is easy for you to lead the topic to feudal superstition.

Professor Qin is fearless, anyway, he can say whatever he wants to say about this show before he comes, so he can't say it? And since it exists, it can be scientifically studied. This is not a feudal superstition.

He continued: "I speculate that modern weapons may not be of much use to it. Maybe we'll have to find the Sword of God, or the Leviathan......"

While he was talking, another group of fighters had already arrived at the scene. This time they did not circle, but launched missiles directly.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The smoke cleared, and the monster was revealed.

Unscathed.

"So." Again, the monster spoke, "Your arrogance makes me laugh. ”

Given some orders, the fighter quickly retreated farther away, halted the attack, and continued to follow the monster. The monster ignored them and continued to make its way towards the town.

Professor Qin speculated in his mind about his next move. When all the firepower is deployed in place, there should be another wave of saturation strikes. If it still doesn't work at all, the above may use that after the evacuation is complete.

The problem is that the current evacuation is too hasty, and it is difficult to complete the evacuation of all the monsters before they enter the town, and there is no way to use large-scale weapons, so you can only watch the monsters slaughter civilians, or send soldiers to intercept them with their lives......

At this time, there was a sudden surprise at the scene.

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

The sound was still not loud, but it could be heard as clearly as the voice of a monster.

"Attila, come by heaven."
