The sun is high - #156 - Chapter 155 No martial ethics
“Ladies Street never provides housing for men. Are you sure your home is there?”
Under Shuge’s question, the man with a weird figure paused in his chair. His face and expression looked a little dull, and the atmosphere in the entire tent also changed accordingly.
In the metal disc, the palace hound stood up as if it sensed the scent of prey, and Charron’s Touch began to sway slightly.
Xiuge basically confirmed his guess, so he gently moved the metal amplifier installed on the side of the table.
The hidden small ritual was immediately triggered, and the Council mages waiting outside immediately received the warning signal sent by Shuge.
So at this moment, all refugee resettlement processes were stopped.
Unfinished work is suspended on the spot.
Amid the panic and panic of the people, soldiers wearing heavy fireproof clothing and holding heavy magic flamethrowers or magic silver shields walked out.
With the help of the council mages, they quickly separated all the waiting refugees. Before these shocked refugees had time to understand what was happening, they had been forcibly divided into eleven “groups”, with an average of The size of each group is controlled between five and six people.
The expressions and eyes of the soldiers under their masks were solemn and hesitant.
Although it was the instinct of Votel’s soldiers to obey orders, when they learned that they might need to spray deadly fire on these civilians, they still instinctively resisted.
Fortunately, no further orders came.
Everyone was “frozen” here, only the frightened child was crying feebly.
Compared to the chaos outside, the tent where Shuge was located was much quieter.
He was confronting the man who was obviously not right. Although Shuge had been sitting on the chair without making any movement, behind him, Charron’s Touch had emerged from the void. It was hidden in Shuge. In the shadow of the body, it is slowly swinging at a specific frequency.
The “man” obviously felt something, and his body began to change.
He made a movement similar to vomiting, and the bulge in his abdomen immediately began to “move”, and along with the man’s movement, a black shadow that was extremely familiar to Shuge emerged from the man’s mouth.
At this moment, the “tenants” in Shuge’s spiritual world became restless at the same time.
They smell “food”.
However, the descendant of An Abyss parasitizing in the man’s body did not immediately attack Shuge. It “squeezed” out of the man’s mouth and “hanged” in the air in a very strange posture.
Many mouths for making sounds “grew” out of these black gelatins, and then Xiuge heard the questions from the descendants of the dark abyss in front of him.
“I hid it well, but you…discovered me?”
“Hide well, but answer poorly.”
Shuge gave his response sincerely: “It seems that you do have their knowledge and memory, but you don’t quite understand how to use them.”
An Yuanzi paused for two seconds, as if digesting Xiuge’s words, and then said: “There are too many useless ones.”
This sentence surprised Xiuge.
Calculating carefully, this was the first time he had face-to-face actual communication with this kind of incomplete ancient creation summoned by the Black Sun Society. Therefore, Shuge did not send any more warning signals to the outside world. He really wanted to communicate with them. Communicate with the “creatures” in front of you.
After all, such an opportunity is really rare.
The black shadow kept twisting. After a brief silence, it made a sound again: “I… know a lot, but I am a slow learner.”
This sentence may sound contradictory, but as a practitioner who has “devoured” the power of the descendants of An Abyss and taken “memory” and “knowledge” from them, he can understand what the other party means.
In fact, from the “memories of the deceased” he already had, he had deliberately stripped out the content related to personal experiences and emotions, and classified them into the category of “not visiting temporarily”. Xiuge knew very well , reading other people’s memories is relatively easy, but if you want to accept and understand other people’s past, it may cause many problems.
He had such an experience when he first “became” Sugar Ernst.
Just one person’s memory can already have a huge impact on consciousness, and the descendants of An Yuan probably won’t understand this truth. Judging from their behavior of eating whatever they have and not rejecting anyone who comes, I am afraid that everything that can be swallowed, absorbed and accepted has been integrated into their bodies.
Eyes grew out of the black pus of the descendant of An Yuan. It looked at Xiuge seriously, and then asked uncertainly: “Are we… the same kind?”
“They are the same kind.”
Xiuge nodded, and said half-truths and half-false words without changing his face or heart: “Well, humans already know your existence, so they are ready to hunt you down at all costs, and now, only I can help you. “
However, An Yuan’s descendant did not believe his words as Xiuge expected. Instead, he expressed his objection: “Same kind… cannot be trusted.”
“You don’t have to believe me, and I won’t stop you, but if you leave now, I’m afraid you will be discovered immediately and burned to death… You should be afraid of the flames, right?”
When he heard the words “flame” and “burned to death”, the liquid mass of the descendant of An Yuan fluctuated violently. It was obvious that he could understand the meaning, and through the continuously fluctuating magic power in the air, Xiuge also It’s basically confirmed – this guy is scared.
Xiuge felt that he seemed to have vaguely grasped some of the characteristics of this ancient creation.
“To a certain extent, it has instincts similar to magical creatures such as changelings. It is gluttonous, eager to draw more power, and will act according to instinct. Although it is not sure whether it has pain sensation, it is obvious that the flame belt The burning and high temperature will make it feel extremely frightened…”
“They can change their form according to the lives they have eaten, and at the same time acquire more instincts, memories and knowledge from those victims. This process should have made them extremely powerful, but the diversity of human thinking is obviously They cannot digest and understand it in a short period of time, which leads to huge loopholes and flaws in their thinking.”
Xiuge made a quick judgment in his mind, and then he heard the descendant of An Yuan in front of him say: “They… people… don’t doubt you?”
“Because I disguise it well.”
The eyes in the jet-black liquid mass moved quickly, and then, a chilling word floated out: “Then… fusion, I can… disguise.”
Along with these words, the black mucus gushing out from the man’s mouth suddenly expanded in front of Xiuge. It spread out quickly like a huge black film, as if to completely “wrap” Xiuge. .
Of course, such an attack would be extremely unethical.
But after all, the descendant of An Yuan is still in the process of learning human common sense and behavior. Although it has mastered many methods of disguising itself, its actions are still a step slower in the face of Shuge, which has evil intentions from the beginning. .
The Charron’s Touch hidden in the shadow of Shuge swept out immediately, and countless sharp joints tore the falling film into countless pieces in an instant.
He quickly stood up from his seat. Relying on the majestic magic power in his body that far exceeded before, the power of the messenger in the mirror exploded in its most complete and thorough way at this moment. Xiuge’s figure immediately turned into a looming black mass. The mist, and with his movements, the mist moved forward on its own initiative and came into contact with the fragments of the descendants of the Dark Abyss that had been cut by the touch of Charron.
The Mirror Messenger’s status in the Dark Abyss Palace is obviously very special.
Xiuge had discovered before that the messenger in the mirror had a certain ability to “restrain” or “interact” with both the descendants of An Yuan and the palace hound he later acquired. At this moment, this special power was once again obtained. Showed.
The moment those cut pieces came into contact with the mist of the Mirror Messenger, they completely lost all vitality, and the magic power contained in them was completely absorbed by the Mirror Messenger.
Such development and changes made the descendants of the Dark Abyss who were the first to launch the sneak attack feel extremely frightened, so many organs and tissues from different lives, such as claws, joints, teeth, etc., grew out of the remaining black mucus, but they were not Karl at all. After a brief confrontation, Rong Zhichu’s opponents were completely cut into pieces, leaving only a small ball of mucus trying to escape from the man’s body and fleeing into the distance.
Of course, Xiuge would not let this “obtained fat” go. The mage’s hand accurately appeared in front of the jet-black liquid mass.
This time, Xiuge did not suppress his own magical properties, so the mage’s hands also revealed the avoidable dark green color.
Just like grabbing an animal on the ground, the highly corrosive mage’s hand grabbed hard and fixed the jet black liquid directly in place. Before it could continue to split and escape, Shuge had already arrived. When it reached its side, before the piercing scream could be heard, Xiuge directly “snuffed” it out in the thick fog of floating magic.
The moment he achieved his goal, Shuge immediately lifted all the Touch of Charron and the fog on his body. He suddenly snapped his fingers, and stream-level magical flames immediately appeared in the center of the tent, covering the body of the man who had been dead for a long time. , and the dark slime remaining on the ground were all covered.
At this moment, the tent was cut open by a sharp magic blade, and the figures of Wei Lin and Krautz appeared outside the gap.
When they saw that everything was normal with Xiuge and a body covered in countless pitch-black mucus was lying in the flames, they had different reactions.
Shuge noticed that Wei Lin relaxed slightly, and the tension on her face also faded a lot.
Krautz’s face was still gloomy.
Master Krauts asked in a low voice: “Is it solved?”
“It seems to have been solved so far… It was hidden in this man’s belly, like those parasites, occupying and controlling this body. After I saw through it, it wanted to devour me. As a last resort, I just This method can be used.”
Shougaling appeared slightly out of breath, and then he explained: “I recommend that all soldiers and refugees be screened again, and this time they must be more cautious… They already know how to hide themselves, and I have no choice. Determine the quantity.”
Shuge’s words made Krauts temporarily put aside his doubts. He nodded, then signaled Weilin to “check” Shuge’s situation, and he went outside with his assistant.
Although Weilin didn’t know much about Xiuge, her level of trust in Xiuge was not comparable to that of Krauts.
After confirming that Shuge was not injured, she sighed: “You should have called us for help earlier. Mr. Krauts has a very heavy task. After knowing that there may be that kind of monster among these refugees, the Council asked us to Live samples must be left behind…”
“I have no way……”
Shuge smiled: “At first, I just suspected this person and didn’t have any concrete evidence, so I just sent you a warning notice. By the time it launched the attack, it was too late to notify you, so I had to think of a way. response.”
“okay.”
Wei Lin glanced at Shuge: “You’d better perfect your rhetoric. Mr. Krauts is not as easy to deal with as I am.”
“I’m not perfunctory either…”
“I hope so.”
Weilin shrugged, and she immediately called the mages from the council. These spellcasters who had already prepared tools and containers immediately protected the entire tent, including the male corpse and all items and ground stained with dark slime. They were all restrained.
While waiting, a new wave of chaos has arisen in Xiuge’s spiritual world.
With the influx of power from the descendant of the dark abyss, Xiuge clearly felt that his head began to swell rapidly.
Different from the mucus that occupied old Schubert’s legs and feet before, the descendant of the Dark Abyss was still very weak at that time, and it was essentially an individual that grew out of the mucus that remained in old Schubert’s wounds when he was attacked. , so it does not contain any special memory.
But the one who was just killed and devoured by Shuge was completely different.
Before it escaped from Salem City with the help of this man’s body, it had participated in countless hunts and digestions. The memories remaining in it were extremely complex and fragmented, and some were not even enough to form a complete memory fragment or picture. , just fragmentary sounds, lights, shadows and words.
And when these chaotic memories burst into Xiuge’s spiritual world, the consequences can be imagined.
Xiuge stood there expressionlessly, feeling as if his thoughts were buried in a garbage heap.
