Chapter 692 The Dragon

The faint blue corridor should not be this color. The gentle water waves on the ground sway gently with the change of light. The man is walking in the passage composed of glass walls. Here, his eyes are filled with the water light and the light behind the glass walls. With the flowing fish, one will get lost in this maze-like aquarium without even noticing.

The man walked leisurely through the passage between the glass walls, like a tourist in this giant aquarium. He stopped and stopped from time to time, not like a person in a hurry. Occasionally, he would stop in front of an aquarium. He stopped to comment, and his audience was naturally the ubiquitous academic artificial intelligence EVA.

"Wow, European caviar, I heard its caviar is delicious, but unfortunately I have never tasted fresh caviar."

"Jaws! I've seen that horror movie directed by Spielberg, where the people in the cage were opened and eaten like cans!"

"Yangtze River paddlefish. I thought they were extinct, but do you still have them here?"

".Mola mola? Isn't this cute creature really put here just for fun?"

As the man walked, he looked at the shadows passing by in the aquarium and made comments. His eyes were extremely vicious. He could almost distinguish the types of fish in just a moment's outline, and he made clear comments. He probably didn't deserve to be invaded by the Secret Party. If you are a conspirator, it is also very promising to find a job as a docent at the aquarium.

"The purpose of this aquarium is not to protect these creatures." EVA's laser projection appeared not far from the corridor. Theoretically, she could appear anywhere underground.

"It's to create an ecosystem, right? To observe the competition between predators and prey? To understand the relationship between humans and dragons in nature?" The man pointed at the body of a seal that had been eaten by a seal in the aquarium. asked half of the sunfish who didn't even think about escaping.

EVA did not echo this idea, but just raised her arm to gesture to a white nameplate hanging high in the aquarium next to her, which read "Pliosaurus" in Latin.

".Oh!" When the man saw the string of Latin words, he suddenly understood the significance of the existence of this giant aquarium and the reason why there were so many kinds of fish in it.

"I have to admit that you always bring me new surprises. I think you should expand your business and set up a sushi stall in the aquarium. When tourists pass by, they can appreciate the wonders of the creatures and taste them. The creatures are amazing!" the man said regretfully, "The skills of the sushi chef must be at the state banquet level, otherwise it will not be worthy of this delicious dish. I actually miss the authentic kaiseki cuisine I had when I went to Japan last time. .”

"It's a pity that the sushi restaurant in the 'Ice Cellar' is closed today." Someone asked quietly in the blue corridor.

The person who spoke was not EVA or the man, but a third person. The man paused slightly and showed an interesting smile on his face. He turned his head and looked at EVA's laser projection from above the aquarium. EVA, who was being watched by the man, lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes. It turned into light blue light fragments and dispersed in the faint blue light, revealing an old and tall figure standing deep in the corridor.

"It's closed? Not necessarily? I've been here since I came. Isn't it too unkind to turn away guests?" the man asked helplessly.

"Have you come to the wrong place if you want to eat sushi? There is no such thing as a cafeteria in a library." The man walking slowly in the darkness said casually, holding his pocket with one hand.

"Hey, I didn't come across a sushi stall, but I met someone who thought he was a sushi chef." The man looked sideways at the old man who gradually walked into the blue light and was illuminated, and a sudden realization appeared on his face.

In the man's eyes, Ange slowly walked into the light with his right hand in his suit trouser pocket. The light in the aquarium penetrated the water waves and glass and illuminated his side face, as well as the black formal suit that he took off his protective clothing and put on. There is no extra rose in the front pocket, but there is also a MONT BLANC pen as an embellishment.

"What do you think? I have always thought that my skills in making sushi are good. I have indeed studied the art of sushi seriously. It must have been in 1947, right? I learned a lot in Japan that year, and I think that I have good sushi skills." It's not a bad idea, master." Ange stood still at the other end of the corridor, watching the man maintain a distance that was neither long nor short, just the right distance with a gentle smile on his face, "It can be regarded as the boast of an elderly man. Well, being able to eat sushi made by me has always been considered a great honor even among the Sheqi Hachi family."

"I have heard that you have been to Japan, but according to my information you should have gone to conquer them. I didn't expect that you would have the leisure to learn their culture?" The man smiled and looked at Angers, and at the same time he looked at him He was only one step away from the door marked "Ice Cellar" at the end of the corridor behind him, but now it seemed that the owner inside personally came out to entertain him.

"I had a student in Japan, and from him I learned a lot about Japanese customs and culture, including the metaphysical kendo, the traditional shamisen, and even some basics of Noh music. Of course, sushi is also included, so Every soldier who lands in Okinawa will taste the local delicacies with a sea-like flavor. But I am different. I prefer learning and then mastering it rather than experiencing it. I have always been a practical person and have no experience with anything. Everything is full of curiosity and desire for challenge, and the same is true for kendo and sushi," Angers said with a shrug.

"Only by understanding your enemy, can you defeat the enemy better? Only by exploring the essence of things, can you completely eliminate the unknown of things? Study things to gain knowledge! You are a revolutionary in the secret party!" The man agreed with this idea, but After a moment, he tilted his head and asked seriously, "But your student is now pimping in the Shinjuku area, does that mean that as a teacher, you must also learn to pimp first, so that you can better defeat him in the way of pimping?" "

"Who said that? Disciples don't have to be inferior to masters. At least when it comes to pimping, I admit that Aga is now the strongest in Japan!" Anger shook his head and smiled, and simply put aside the question of the man who went to his grandma's house. .

"But making sushi is difficult. It's not just a simple job of cutting fish fillets and putting them on rice. I'm curious from whom you learned your sushi skills?" The man turned his head and looked towards the depths of the aquarium. asked the silhouette of the passing behemoth.

"Is this important? Or does the 'Emperor' live up to his name and only serve the 'Royal Food'?" Angers raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person.

"Of course. After all, in front of the real 'Emperor', even cutting a sushi requires qualifications." The man said seriously.

"This may disappoint you. At that time, all walks of life in Japan were not doing well after the war. The best sushi restaurant owners also needed to put down their dignity and past achievements and go to the streets to attract customers with a smile on their face." Angers He said with regret, "In my opinion, no matter who I learned the sushi technique from during that period, they all lost the soul of the craftsman, so my sushi technique also came from Aga. I learned it from the proprietress of an izakaya. But after all, I haven’t tried it in many years, so my skills may be a little rusty, but I still insist on giving it a try, maybe I can satisfy picky eaters.”

The man was silent for a while, then laughed and applauded, "Hilbert Jean Angers is indeed a very interesting person. Hearing about him once is better than seeing him."

"The 'Emperor' is really good at telling side stories. The Emperor's mind is profound and profound." Ange also laughed, and kept the copy in his pocket with no intention of taking it out.

The two guys who met for the first time in the blue corridor didn't seem to have any atmosphere in their first chat. Instead, they talked about it from an inexplicable angle of sushi, and then started complimenting each other, which was really a bit laughable.

They were indeed laughing at the moment, and they were observing each other while laughing. From Ange's eyes, the man standing under the blue light with nothing to hide looked really ordinary, without any of the 'emperors' mentioned in ancient books. He should have the aura of not being angry but having authority, and having the authority of a king granted by God. On the contrary, he is extremely easy-going, even ordinary, and makes people feel no pressure or threat.

Just like what he did before, when he walked to the aquarium ecological area, he looked like a tourist. When he frowned, you wouldn't think that he wanted to cause a big deal, because you can only start from this. The guy's eyebrows read like "How can I get some nigiri sushi and caviar out of this?" confusion.

——This is a dangerous guy who is extremely good at disguising himself and hiding his true thoughts.

This was Angers' first impression of this man. He also noticed that there were a lot of blood stains and even bullet holes on the man's body. The first thing he suspected was not that he was injured, but whether it was also a disguise.

"Ah, don't worry about that." The man looked down at his messy body, "This blood is not mine."

"Did you encounter some trouble when you came here?" Angers tilted his head.

"That's not true. Everything went as planned." The man shook his head.

"Including me who came here?"

"Otherwise?" The man made a matter-of-fact expression. He turned to look at the aquarium on the side. "How can a sushi restaurant be decent without a sushi chef? But before that, I still have to ask one more question. I think I am a chef. Sushi chef, did you bring your own kitchen knife?"

"A good chef always keeps his knife at hand. As a guest, are you ready to marvel and swallow your tongue?" Angers stood up straight, moved his wrist slightly, and folded the knife under the cuff of his suit. The silver knife handle fell into his hand, and his eyes were lightly locked on the man in the center of the corridor, as if staring at the fish on the chopping board.

Since the other party likes to use unrelated things to refer to their real purpose, Angers has never shied away from this kind of language game, or it can be said that this kind of game has always been a trick he has played before - where On the negotiating table one after another, in the battlefield of clever tongues and hidden agility, there are too many tricks and you will get tired of them after seeing them too many times.

"It's not a big deal if you swallow your tongue. After all, I am also slightly proficient in sushi-making skills. We are all experts. There is no reason why you should be overwhelmed, even if you are one of the most outstanding mixed-races of this generation." The man put a sticker on his hand. While standing on the aquarium, I looked at the fish swimming inside and was fascinated, "It's just that the ingredients and customers have never been worthy of me, so I haven't cooked for a long time, and no one is qualified to let me cook." "

"Then when you come here tonight, do you want to go back to your old business? As a diner, you want to hold the kitchen knife. Isn't it a little too rude?" Angers said softly, his aging but still The terrifying tiger eyes were ignited with a sharp and striking pale golden light.

"It seems you still don't understand. Now that I'm here, either as a diner or as a chef, no matter which one, it leads to the fact." The man stood in front of the aquarium and turned to look at Angers, "Here There are ingredients and customers that I like, and at least the customers are all here now."

A buzzer suddenly sounded on Angers. He paused, glanced at the man who spread his hands and said he didn't mind, and took out the mobile phone on his waist. After turning on the screen, he found that it was an 'EVA' message. On the real-time map given to him, in front of the Hall of Valor, countless blue lights gathered together like shoals of fish looking for prey - these were students from Kassel Academy, fully armed and ready to go.

"Hilbert Jean Angers, you seem to have misunderstood something. You can neither be the fish on my cutting board nor my guest tonight. You are just a self-righteous sushi chef blocking my way. "The man looked at Ange who put down his mobile phone and said.

Angers realized that the man was not looking at him. The other man's gaze passed over his shoulder and fell on the passage leading to the 'ice cellar' behind him. At this time, what exactly was the man referring to by "ingredients" and "sushi"? It goes without saying of course. In the depths of the "ice cellar", isn't the ongoing "Nirvana" experiment a "slicing" and "feast" that are secretly consistent with sushi craftsmanship?

"It's a pity that I can't let you pass here. Not everyone can be a eater of the 'feast' behind me." Angers paused for a moment, then raised his head and pulled out a folding knife. The blade of the Philosopher's Stone glowed under the blue light. With a dark red light, the water ripples also coated the blade with ancient inscriptions, and the golden eyes reflected in the blade were as bright as the sun.

"If you insist on cooking something, that's fine. This is your freedom, but please don't block my way." The man said calmly, "I never said that I came here tonight as a ' Diners' come, that's why I keep saying you think you're a sushi chef."

"If you're not here as a diner, then you are here as a chef?" Ange said softly, "I am not qualified to be your guest, and the students outside are naturally not qualified. You are a proud person. I can think of the possibility of having this There may only be one qualified person.”

"Then I'm sorry that you can't be honored because of your students." The man said sadly, "There is only one place at the table."

"If 'Constantine' was a delicacy for a feast, would you choose to prepare it and serve it to other people's tables instead of enjoying it alone? This is not in line with the greed and violence of the 'Emperor'." Angers said lightly.

"But who made him the 'Prince'?" The man laughed, "Actually, you and I both want to do the same thing for 'Constantine'. We both want to be the chef and make a satisfying feast. In front of him, it's just that in my opinion, your methods and cooking skills are too crude to be worthy of this excellent ingredient, so I have no choice but to cook it myself."

"Maybe we can do better?" Angers said, looking at the man slightly.

"I advise you not to be wishful thinking. You can't even choose the right place to cook. How dare you say that you are a qualified chef?" The man looked at him and sighed slowly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. ".Don't question who can do this better for him than me."

It was at this time that Ange suddenly raised his head slightly. His eyes left the man for the first time and shifted to the glass wall of the huge aquarium in front of the man. Behind the glass wall, a school of fish in the water gathered at some unknown time. Swimming in front of the man.

It was an overwhelming black shadow that blocked most of the blue light and enveloped the man in the corridor into darkness. In the darkness, lava flowers bloomed to stare at himself on the other side of the corridor.

"A truly outstanding chef only needs to go into the kitchen and carefully cook the ingredients that have already been processed by the servants. Only third-rate chefs will still be busy fighting with their own ingredients before the feast begins. "He looked at Angers and said calmly.

Ange paused at his words, and danger and vigilance filled his eyes, but what really made him so wary was not the man but the things in the aquarium.

A really huge black shadow slowly swam from behind the fish school, and two lanterns actually lit up in the blue aquarium - what kind of lanterns were they? Those were the eyes of the huge creature, with something bigger than the lantern fish rippling inside. The bright golden light illuminated his ferocious and majestic reflection on the glass wall.

A total of 19 vertebrae support its huge and slender body. The white shark fins that were bitten into pieces between the long mouth filled with sharp teeth like scimitars are scattered with silky blood. He looks like a shark and The swordfish hybrid, with flippers and a tail shaped like a whip, should have been riding the wind and waves on the sea, but it was restrained in this aquarium that was extremely small compared to him.

The sign EVA pointed to before is still mounted on the glass wall. Pliosaurus. If it were presented in Latin, many people might not be able to understand its meaning. But if it is translated into Chinese, many people might be able to suddenly realize it and be horrified. Extremely.

【Shanglong】

This is the Chinese name of the majestic figure behind the glass wall with the man's hand now. A large predatory creature in the late Jurassic, the Great White Shark looked like an underdeveloped baby in front of him. He should have been extinct in the It was caught in the torrent of history, but somehow it was discovered by the Kassel Academy and hidden here.

So this entire aquarium is an ecosystem created for it.

It was called a "monster" before it was officially named, not only for his terrifying appearance, but also for the terror of being the top predator in the ocean. But now this predator is like a docile cat or dog. He also pressed against the glass wall of the aquarium, gently rubbing his head covered with fine scales against the palm of the man behind the glass who was as small as an ant to him. The huge lantern-like golden pupils were full of madness. joy.

"It turns out that it really has dragon blood! Although we have always suspected it, we have not been able to prove it." Angers whispered as he looked at the horrifying scene in front of the glass wall of the contrast between the majestic and the small thing.

"There are too many things that you haven't seen. Do you think that having experienced the Dragon King's anatomy twice personally means you know everything? No, Angers, you are still too small and ignorant. As a mixed race, You are very successful, but as an individual involved in dragon civilization, your ignorance and self-esteem are no different from your sushi cooking skills." The man turned his head and looked at Angers and said, "You really understand him What is needed? What is it that can really push him forward on that great path? 'The Nibelung Plan'? 'Baptism'? No, his bloodline itself is perfect, where is the need for other bloodlines to go? Evolution? The Dragon King's bloodline can only be a 'key' to him, not the portal itself! And this transformation will also begin tonight."

The glass of the aquarium where his palm was pressed against unexpectedly emitted an extremely terrifying roar, as deafening as the sound of firecrackers exploding when steel bars broke. The red light flashed in the aquarium instead of the blue light, and the EVA began to sound an alarm that the building structure was abnormal, but none of this could stop the ice-flower-like cracks that bloomed in the blue from continuing to expand until they spread into a terrifying degree.

At this time, the man also gently retracted his hand, staring at Ange with his scorching golden eyes, and a smile appeared on his face again, but with strong teasing and indifference. "The sushi technique learned from the izakaya cut out the third-rate ingredients. Well, I hope that you who are here as a sushi chef can also have fun as a chef tonight."

"And it's time for me to go to my real kitchen. You have to know that excellent ingredients will become stale if kept for a long time."

Behind the aquarium, the huge ferocious monster retreated silently, not as an escape, but as a precursor to an attack. The next moment, its whip-like tail suddenly swung to create a huge wave of water, and its entire slender and powerful body exploded with an unparalleled energy. the power of! It crashed into the glass wall, breaking the last restriction of the ice-covered one! A shattering sound of creaking and moaning sounded, and then a doomsday roar was suppressed, and a huge amount of monstrous flood poured out and poured into the long passage!

Just as the man said, Angers did make a mistake tonight. As a chef, he did not choose his own kitchen. As a user of Time Zero, the current watery environment is also not what he really wants. battlefield.

In Ange's sight, the falling flood covered the face of the man in the passage, and then the entire figure. The lava pupils also disappeared in the huge flood, replaced by the surging water rushing towards him. A pair of huge golden eyes dancing with golden light in the water waves.

The ancient apex predator broke through the cage and locked onto the old and tall figure, and let out a deafening roar amidst the roaring water.

ps: There is also
