Chapter 162: The Wishing Cup Fourth
The festering flesh and thick juice poured into the basement like a flood, and the turbid and smelly liquid was like amniotic fluid, and it rose up to the waist and lungs, and there was no light in the basement, and it was impossible to see the way at all.
And in the darkness, you can clearly hear those from the monsters. I don't know that the demon god monster who split out of the fire and got the flesh body, the sound of drinking blood and eating flesh is obviously, these disgusting gravy are all great tonics for them, just listening to the sound, it is like a hellish cave-like scene.
Fortunately, those demon gods patronized and ate, and they didn't care about Li Pan, and the way to enter the underground Dragon King Temple, he came and went twice, so with memory and Zhenqi perception, Li Pan barely found the way, gritted his teeth and went upstream, struggling to remove the blood, tearing the flesh wall, and climbing out of the mountain of meat like Shura Purgatory.
Rao has a superhuman body and a true Qi body, it is difficult to rush out of this monster corpse all the way to the sky, the way out is occupied by the sticky and slippery flesh wall, a stumble is like a slide down, and finally Li Pan simply took off the chemical protection suit, swallowed the jade card, bit the holy grail, and used the Nine Yin Divine Skill, the raccoon dog turned over the snake, twisted his waist, and crawled out along the flesh wall like a snake, and finally, he climbed up from the meat mountain with difficulty.
"Boss! The boss is here! ”
There was blood and water, and before Li Pan could take two breaths, someone reached out and pulled him out of the water.
Li Pan looked at it, it was Ah Qi, it was connected to a rope on its back, and it was floated by the car. Eighteen hung down and pulled people.
Ashiya Shiki and Yamazaki Ayato were also in the car, Yamazaki was holding a divination ball in his hand, it seemed that they were quite relaxed, probably they all used the silver key to open the door and escaped directly, and when they saw that Li Pan didn't come out, they came back to find someone.
Everyone chased Li Pan into the floating car, Li Pan directly poured the plasma stained on his face into the holy grail, shook it into water, and poured it on his head, and so on, rinsing the disgusting mucus and minced meat on his face.
"Boss, boss, look at that ......"
Li Pan wiped his face and turned his head to look, and then saw a flower blooming under the floating car.
Condescendingly seeing the whole picture, Li Pan also understood what was happening.
As soon as the fire mist died, lost control, and lost the support of the Holy Grail and the spiritual vein, the huge monster flower dozens of meters high quickly disintegrated and collapsed.
The rhizomes and flesh in the underground directly rotted, and were occupied by various demon gods and monsters.
At the top of this monster flower, the embryonic fruit, at this moment, it was like a flower blooming, bursting and blooming, and among the amniotic fluid and blood water, there was clearly a huge demonic beast, stretching its curled up body, and woke up.
Looking at it now, it is still bare, slimy, and the same thing as a mouse, but between breaths, that thing is also growing rapidly, and looking at the monster from a distance, there is a large handful of vertebrae and coccyx, Li Pan can also guess.
It's the nine-tailed demon fox.
It seems that the biggest winner in the end of this wave of competition for the remains of Shiranui Mist is the Nine-Tails.
Ah Qi, "Boss, what now?" ”
Li Pan looked at the newborn demonic beast and took over the file of the ignorant fire mist.
"Ah Qi, do you feel that we are just chess pieces on the chessboard, duckweed on the water, drifting with the tide and involuntarily ......
Forget it, since she wants to die, let her die. Deletion"
Ah Qi nodded, adjusted the power supply, and pressed the shredder, which buzzed.
And Ashiya Shigui took out a handful of paper figures, as if dealing cards, and bounced the paper figures out of the air, turning them into white paper crows, soaring around.
"Two-four-six-eight...... Damn, there are too many newly born demon gods! Koga has released all the demon gods in the village!
Boss! Ask the company to attack! While they have just been born and their strength is insufficient, they can still be sealed! ”
At this time, the newborn fox demon lying in the 'flowers' suddenly opened his eyes, and the green beast pupils stared directly at Li Pan.
Li Pan also glanced at it and put the file of Shiranui Mist into the shredder.
"Forget it, delete a file and leave......"
"Let's go?" Ashiya Shigui was stunned for a moment, "But let them go now, when these demons have devoured enough flesh and blood to regain their strength, it will be difficult to clean up......"
Then he stopped, for at this moment there was a sudden flash of light on the ground, and a fire was rising to the sky.
The monster 0791035, or the remains of the former ignorant fire mist, are now spontaneously combusting, burning all over the sky, and there are a sea of bright flames.
The demons and monsters were also screaming in the monstrous flames, like beasts trapped in a mountain fire, fluttering and struggling, scattering and fleeing.
Even the nine-tailed demon fox screamed, glared at Li Pan with resentment, flew through the sea of fire, and disappeared into the city.
Just by breathing, the huge monster on the ground, the mountain of blood and flesh, was burned to ashes all over the ground, and with the hot wind, it disappeared and was completely wiped out.
The runaway project, 0791035, was deleted.
Ayato Yamazaki swallowed, "This is ...... Deleted ......"
Shikiki Ashiya fell silent and looked at the shredder, his face glowing with the flickering firelight, and his face was particularly gloomy.
"Well, the temporary workers have deleted the files, the monsters have been cleared, the Holy Grail has been recaptured, our mission has been completed, everyone go back and remember to write the daily newspaper.
Of course, if you volunteer to work overtime, I won't stop you, but I declare in advance that temporary workers will not be paid overtime. ”
Li Pan was unable to sit on the cabin,
"Eighteen, how's that ship?"
Floating car. Eighteen, "Jumping Jupiter went." ”
"What? Jupiter?? ”
Li Pan didn't react for a while.
Eighteen open the star map,
"Just now the Callisto base reported that there was a high-energy reaction in the eye of Jupiter's storm, maybe the universe was doing some kind of experiment, and the ship jumped into the Jupiter Universe.
However, Jupiter is surrounded by the company's private star fields, and I don't have that many probes, so I can't detect its location now. ”
“…… Jumped away......"
Or was it fished away......
And, Jupiter?
Li Pan fell silent for a while.
Looking at the leopard in the tube, he still understands the truth that he only sees.
Obviously, in places that he can't see and understand, there are some real big chess and competitions that are raging.
The 'it' I saw in the tea room just now, the owner of the 'big fish', and the head office are the players of this game.
And he, Li Pan, is just an insignificant corner on this huge chessboard, an insignificant chess piece.
Alas, my brother is right, there are some things that you still have to wait for the completion of the miracle to do it......
Forget it, don't think about that, let's solve the immediate matter first.
"Eighteen, contact Prince Cornelius for me."
The Prince of the Blood Clan didn't put on a show, and soon appeared on the communication channel. He was much younger than the previous two meetings, and he had evolved from a shriveled walking corpse and an old man to a middle-aged uncle with blond hair and blue eyes and full of energy.
Looks like it's sucked a lot of blood......
"Your Royal Highness." Li Pan raised the Holy Grail to signal.
"General Manager." The prince nodded politely in response.
It seems that it is time to talk about it seriously.
"I've seen the proposal you asked K to forward, can we talk about it again?"
The prince was silent for a while, and looked at Li Pan,
"Actually, you should understand that I have no intention of embarrassing your company, and that bill is already the final version passed by the council.
I should have said there was nothing more to talk about. But because you, manager, have shown your company's prowess and pulled five companies out of the bid overnight.
Out of respect for the strong. If the other side has a more reasonable proposal, I can try to make another proposal to the council. ”
Li Pan also thought about it.
In fact, K also said that the Night Clan is serious, Cornelius's version of the "Holy Grail Rental Contract", five hundred billion rents and one hundred trillion PR, a total of six hundred billion, probably the Blood Council's side, and now the bottom line of the Holy Grail deal.
And the first version given to Julius's house by Li Pan's side, 50 trillion yuan in rent and 20 trillion in public relations fees, a total of 70 trillion, is the bottom line that TheM's side has agreed to at the general manager meeting.
If the main parties to this war can negotiate directly, then naturally there will be no arbitration or bidding. But now the gap between the quotations of the two sides is as high as 530 trillion yuan, and of course it is impossible to negotiate by talks.
However, the bottom line can be broken by violence, everyone is serious about fighting a battle, dividing the winner and losing, and recalculating the losses and costs of the war, then the bottom line will naturally change again.
For example, after this day and night of fighting, Li Pan survived to the end, and slaughtered so many cosmic people, presumably the Ye clan will also have a new assessment of the company's combat effectiveness. So the initial quote will change a little bit, more or less.
War is like this, everyone fights and talks, and compromises with each other.
If you can really slap the other party to death, there is no need to sit down and talk about business with He, right?
"Let's meet and talk face to face," Li Pan tossed the holy grail in his hand, "You also have to inspect the goods to confirm whether this thing is genuine, right?" I have a proposal, I heard that the Holy Grail can cure the thirst for blood, and now is the chance, why don't we try it now? ”
Prince Cornelius looked clear, obviously he also knew Li Pan's careful thoughts, but originally K was the great knight of his own family, so naturally he had no objection to saving the right-hand man.
"Then as soon as possible, the blood can't be preserved for a few days, and if you delay too long in the state of the blood beast, you may not be able to save it.
The coordinates have been sent to you, and I dare not say the other bidders, but the Night Clan will not threaten the safety of the negotiators. ”
"Thank you for your trust. I'm here. ”
Li Pan didn't delay, and began to crack the report on the floating car, and signed it to Ah Qi. Let the others report directly to the company and settle the task immediately.
In order to avoid being followed by other bidders, he put on the company's SBS armament, jumped out of the float halfway, and went to the meeting to meet at the base of Cornelius's house.
Anyway, save K first, and then talk about it, it's a big deal to snatch the Holy Grail from others, and then take it back after being robbed.
Anyway, at this point, it is completely the scale of the corporate war, and unless the head office makes a decision and reaches a final agreement, the battle for the Holy Grail will not end.
And in fact, there is no risk, Li Pan is painting the Divine Cult Charm and BUFF on his body, and suddenly he felt a burst of relaxation, and his strength was completely recovered, and he knew that the others had safely arrived at the company to give him a return.
Then I waited for a while, felt the pant pocket sink, reached out and touched it, and found seven keys.
Oh grass? Actually gave seven? He also thought that dealing with Shiranui Mist and retrieving the Holy Grail would be settled in total. What's the deal with the extra five?
Ah, could it be that Prince Cornelius said that it would be a reward to let five companies withdraw from the bidding war?
The company has always buckled the rope, and it is really not uncommon to give the key, so I'm afraid of a fart now!
With a plug-in, he is bold, 'handkerchief', 'sword pill', 'Holy Grail' and seven keys in hand, and the state is reset to the file, Li Pan feels that he is simply invincible, and it is no problem to pick the tower of the night alone! I can play all day longer!
However, Cornelius had no intention of continuing to do it, after all, he had to fight all day and all night, and there were bounties and acid rain and nuclear explosions and resident evil, and even the company dogs were tired enough. As the fire burned the battlefield of Chiyoda, all forces were temporarily evacuated and reorganized, and the first group of people began to give up.
The first round of the bidding war is over.
So Li Pan was not assassinated by any snipers, followed the navigation, and arrived safely at the negotiation site.
The meeting place is located in the underground city of Tokyo, which is evaded the surveillance of the security system, and Li Pan makes his way down the underground waterway, and soon smells of blood, gunpowder, and werewolves.
Judging from the traces of gunfire everywhere, this should be one of the werewolf nests led by K, probably not long ago it was a battlefield, and now the blood clan or werewolves have been evacuated after the battle, leaving only a place of bullet casings, white bones and corpses, slowly rotting.
When Li Pan arrived, the Night Clan also arrived, and Prince Cornelius, escorted by more than a dozen night knights, stood quietly in the dark.
"Your Royal Highness."
Li Pan also knew that the other party had probably heard that he was coming, so he walked out generously to say hello.
"Manager Li," the prince nodded, leaning sideways to reveal the coffin-like first-aid cabin behind him, and raised his hand to signal, "I won't say much other polite words." Hurry up. ”
The Nightcrawler behind him opened the hatch and revealed her bloody beastly face, she had been completely drained, just a dry corpse with a pale face, a distorted face, and a mouth full of fangs, and her hands and feet were also restrained.
Li Pan also knows the rules of the Ye Clan, for this kind of member who has lost his mind because of the blood hunger and thirst out of control, has become a blood beast, and has lost his mind, although it is theoretically feasible, but the Ye Clan rarely uses the Holy Grail to save it.
After all, there are so many blood clans in the heavens, and there is only one Holy Grail in each world, and the elders can't use them one by one, so who will give them to the knights below for free?
What's more, the hunger and thirst for blood is actually a spiritual pathology.
The bloodline that runs out of control is not really hungry and thirsty and blood-deficient at the prosthetic level, but completely out of control mentally, just like cyber psychosis is incurable, no matter how strong and perfect your prosthesis is, you are crazy if you are crazy.
Therefore, even if the cosmic blood clan of the Night Clan has a prosthetic clone in the heavenly plane, and can use QVN to travel over and travel through the past at any time, as long as there is any prosthetic body, due to the blood hunger and thirst out of control, then the blood clan itself will lose its mind, and no matter which body it goes to, it will bite people like crazy.
Therefore, for such out-of-control blood beasts, and those extra remaining prosthetics, they can either simply be made into biochemical soldiers and various special combat blood beasts, or they can be directly made into 'traitors' and sold.
Of course, those lucky ones who are rich, powerful, well-connected and protected, such as K, even if they die, there are people who take the risk to take the Holy Grail and give her another chance.
The blood knight has prepared artificial blood, and also took out a special silver frame fixture to fix the holy grail brought by Li Pan, look at the design that imitates the bathhouse, and wait for the blood to be injected, and the blood droplets that overflow from the holy grail can be injected into K's mouth along the catheter.
Li Pan couldn't help frowning, "But does this really work?" I mean, don't you have to use the chalice and drink it yourself? It seems useless for others to pour it, right? ”
The prince pointed to the catheter that was injected into the vein on the side,
"Yes, we'll inject a little blood into Catherine first to revive her.
The awakened blood beast is the most hungry and thirsty, desperate for blood, and then use the Holy Grail to purify her own blood.
However, there are people in this world who are desperate for the Holy Grail, hoping to stay young forever and live forever.
But some people only feel that this endless cycle is painful torture and just want to return to eternal sleep.
Therefore, whether the blood beast that has been out of control can be awakened in the end depends more on her own choice. ”
"Your own choice......
Li Pan was silent for a while, thinking of K's origin, and couldn't help but think of the ignorant fire mist.
Why do all the women around him like to seek death?
Or is it ...... Is it this kind of woman with self-destructive tendencies who is particularly easy to attract him......
"Let's get started."
Prince Cornelius nodded, and the knights began to bleed. The speed of blood flow is not fast, and the beads of blood that spill out of the chalice fall into K's mouth little by little, just in case she recovers too quickly, breaks free from the restraints, and goes out of control.
And K gradually woke up, screaming and screaming, and his eyes flashed with a crazy light.
Li Pan looked at her, "K? Do you remember me? How long will it take? ”
The prince glanced at the hideous K, "It's over, it's a failure." ”
Li Pan froze.
The prince said indifferently,
"Whether it worked or not, the first drop of blood could be seen, and she didn't want to come back.
But that's okay, let's get down to business.
The arbitrator has confirmed that five of the sixteen companies in the bidding have withdrawn, so I will give you a 7% discount, 420 trillion ......"
Li Pan didn't hear it, and he didn't care what the prince was saying, he walked to the coffin and looked at K, who was roaring and struggling like a beast, suddenly rolled up his sleeves, wiped his fingers, cut his wrist, and squeezed his blood into K's mouth.
"Hey! Don't be in such a hurry to die! There is such a delicious thing in the world, isn't it? Wake up!
Give Lao Tzu a drink! Don't step on the horse, one by one! Die in front of Lao Tzu's eyes! ”
Prince Cornelius stopped for a while, and looked at Li Pan, who was a little out of control, with some curiosity,
"Do you really like Catherine so much? Why don't you clone the exact same one and give it to you? ”
Li Pan glared at him angrily, and roared as if he was venting,
"Aren't you her elder! That means that K is what you first embraced and transformed! Doesn't it mean that this relationship between the blood clans is equivalent to your daughter, right?
Seeing your daughter die in front of your eyes, why didn't you react at all!? Just thinking about cloning!? Is the cloned Catherine still Catherine!? ”
Prince Cornelius didn't get angry because of Li Pan's offense, but froze for a while, walked to the other side of the coffin with his hands behind his back, and looked down at K,
“…… No, you're right, even if it's a look, it's not Catherine after all......"
The prince turned around and left expressionlessly, not waiting for Li Pan to get angry.
"Huh——!! Ahem, ahem! ”
The coffin let out a loud scream, almost like a drowning man, broke through the water, broke free from the bottom, took his last breath with all his might, and then choked on the blood in his mouth.
“K!”
"Ahem, ahem!"
It really works with a drop, Li Pan saw the light in her eyes, as if a fire had been lit, and it lit up all of a sudden, and her face gradually returned to its original shape, and her fangs were also put away.
Many times it is really like this, some people think about death all day long, but once the slightest desire to survive is aroused, they are reluctant to die.
Prince Cornelius paused for a moment and said lightly,
"Thank you, Your Excellency, then you can confirm the authenticity of the Holy Grail of Blood, and I will send a new quote to your company's headquarters later."
Then he didn't look back and walked away.
