064. Twenty-Five, Day and Night and Dusk Part I
The smile on the patriarch's face disappeared, his beautiful eyes narrowed, and his long eyelashes fluttered slowly.
"Do you think you're human?" she didn't smile, but her voice remained soft.
"Isn't it?" Xiao Yu was a little strange, and didn't seem to see her anger.
"As the guests of honor of the Dusk Guest, they didn't tell you about the prophecy?" the patriarch tilted his head slightly, revealing his slender, white neck.
"Prophecy ......" Xiao Yu pondered carefully and asked tentatively, "Doomsday?"
"Hey......" said the patriarch with a smirk, "that's just a fool's rule." The real prophecy is not the ......"
Seeing Xiao Yu's dazed face, the eldest patriarch showed a delicate smile again, and said softly: "In your life, have you ever explored this city and the world outside?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yu was shocked. He had long been suspicious, but he knew that there was a target hidden in the city for hundreds of miles, so he would not stay away.
"Don't look at this city, there are many high-rise buildings, the suburbs are close together, farms and mountains and forests, vast and boundless...... In fact, the dense fog is the boundary, and it has long been isolated. The patriarch sighed and told the shocking secret, "For thousands of years, people who went out to explore the frontier have never returned. It's those people who want to peek into the secrets of the sky, land on the moon, and look at the stars, but they don't know it, it's all a foggy fantasy......"
Xiao Yu was silent, not knowing what to say.
Of course, it doesn't really matter to him.
The eldest patriarch seemed to see that he didn't care, sighed again, and said quietly: "If you are not a cold-blooded genius, you are an autistic dead house." ”
"I'm neither. Xiao Yu shook his head calmly.
The eldest patriarch was stunned for a moment, pulled up his hair, and said with a smile: "I don't care, which one you are." All I care about is if you agree to join us. ”
"What if I don't agree?" Xiao Yu asked tentatively.
"What do you say?" said the patriarch smiled sweetly.
"If I really have a choice," Xiao Yu smiled, although calm, but firm, "I will definitely not choose you." ”
"Why?" asked the patriarch softly with a smile unchanged.
"You have never been equal in your treatment of human beings, whether in life or in dignity, and have trampled on them at will. Xiao Yu remembered what the night watchman had done since he came to this world, and what he had secretly obtained everywhere, "I am a human being, and I must not defile myself." ”
"Inferior things, full of blood and food, why can't you be killed and taken alive?" the patriarch bared his fine teeth, white and neat, "have you ever treated livestock, have you ever treated livestock, have you ever treated guests? What's more, you have long since left the mortal world, and are as ...... as we are."
Xiao Yu Zhengse said: "At least, I keep my heart, although there is a fight, I will not kill wantonly for my own selfish desires." ”
"I'm so kind of talking, but you're pretending to be serious with me......" The eldest patriarch looked at him sadly, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"It's not that I'm not afraid of death-alas......" Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, raising his left hand, "Let's not talk about these first, why can't you find out my current identity?"
The patriarch was a little puzzled, looked at his arm carelessly, suddenly stared at the beautiful eyes, jumped up, sat down in the chair, silent, and shattered into sawdust.
"You're a twilight guest!, and, ......," she gritted her teeth, her eyes glowing red.
"Oh no!" someone panicked in outside, "there's an enemy invading......! It's dusk!"
There was an uproar in the room.
"You!" the patriarch pointed at Xiao Yu, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yu.
"It's your people who have tied me up here. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "What's more, I'm also guessing, and I don't know it in advance......
The blood in the eldest patriarch's eyes flashed, and he suddenly shook his head, leaving Xiao Yu's matter behind. In the face of her subordinates, she has her own majesty.
"War clan, divide half and go out to meet the enemy!"
"Feiclan, one team meets the enemy, and the other team disperses into the air to monitor the enemy's tracks!"
"Earth clan, take the rest of the people, go through the tunnel!"
“......”
The patriarch commanded again and again, decisively and crisply.
"What about me?" Xiao Yu waited until the back, and suddenly interjected.
"You ......" the patriarch Akame looked like a reprimand. Who knows, he was softened a little by his clear eyes, "Follow me!"
After she finished speaking, she spit out a red pill, circled Xiao Yu's left hand, and suddenly embedded it in her wrist, turning into a little red mole.
Xiao Yu watched and was silent.
Everyone did what they were ordered and didn't dare to play with them.
Xiao Yu followed behind the patriarch, and there was a team of short and strong men beside him, escorting the way and entering the dark tunnel.
Although separated by a thick layer of soil, the sound of fierce battles and killings was still faintly heard, and occasional huge earthquakes and dust poured down, which showed the fierceness outside.
"What is your purpose in asking me to join your night watch?" Xiao Yu asked softly, taking advantage of the patriarch's silence.
The patriarch looked at him and suddenly asked strangely, "Why are you not afraid of me at all?"
"What are you afraid of? you won't kill me...... Xiao Yu smiled, looked at her instantly cold face, and said, "Actually, if you want to kill me, you will kill me a long time ago, you won't be so troublesome, kidnap me back, and take the risk." ”
"Don't kill, there are many ways to treat ......" The patriarch smiled softly again, but his voice echoed in the tunnel, very gloomy.
"You mean, your charms?" Xiao Yu asked calmly with wide eyes.
"It seems that you are really a hard-hearted man!" the patriarch paused and glanced at him resentfully.
Xiao Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You haven't said it yet, what do you want me to do?"
The patriarch looked at him and was silent.
A group of people walked forward for a long time, and gradually lost hearing the roar behind them.
"The night watchman, the daywalker, the twilight guest...... In fact, the three parties have the same root and origin, but each performs its own duties. ”
The eldest patriarch suddenly spoke, and said softly: "We, the night watchman, are the spirit seeds that the ancestors will inevitably incarnate after dissipating the resentments of the world, and they are born from the unbearable destruction that nature has on human beings. Our vocation is to hunt down the swelling human race and relieve the pressure of the world. ”
The patriarch looked at him and continued, "However, if you think that the daywalkers, the twilight guests, are more noble than us night watchmen, then you are very wrong. ”
"The daywalker is light, justice and judgment, which is the embodiment of the balanced, upward side of the world. But it is not about how human beings are treated, but only like loyal dogs herding sheep, and not allowing hungry wolves, that is, our night watchmen, to hunt and kill them wantonly, lest they weaken their vitality...... It is a constraint on us, inherently opposed to us. ”
"And the twilight guest is between day and night. They mingle with the human race, control authority, guide emotions, control public opinion, between white and black, carry out the gray way, and seem to be the closest to the human side, but in fact they are extremely ruthless, treating humans as pawns and manipulating them at will...... Of course, once the daywalker and the night watchman intensify the impact and the conflict gets out of control, they will become intermediaries, some buffer. ”
