Chapter 53 The Rancher
Chapter 53 The Rancher
Snapped!
It's like smashing a water balloon.
Blood spurted.
But the blood fell on the blade, and quickly disappeared, being completely sucked into it by the blade. With the fertilization of blood, the gap on the blade rapidly grew and recovered, as if time had been reversed. In the end, gorgeous golden lines appeared on the bronze blade.
From a counterfeit antique at a roadside stand, to a genuine work of art.
It looks delicate as if cast with life.
Ai Qing took a step back, ignoring the violent and thirsty screams from the blade, and indifferently pulled the blade out of the snake's throat, flicked the blood off the blade, and returned it to Huai Shi.
"For the time being, it's still easy to use. Although I have a big appetite, it's still good enough to deal with living creatures with blood—this kind of prohibited goods will cause a lot of trouble in the market. You should take care of them." She glanced at it. Director Fu hesitated to speak, "After all... it is also the responsibility of the Astronomical Society to store dangerous objects."
Such a blatant classification of this frontier relic, which is definitely above the C-level threat, as a D-level, and then it is owned by the Astronomical Society in the name of collection.
As soon as it is handed over, this thing will be surnamed Huai... Is it too much?
Before he had time to object, Director Fu heard a voice that made his hair stand on end.
On the body that was gradually losing its vitality, the temperature had not dissipated, but no blood spewed out from the wound, instead there were wisps of black smoke rising from the limbs and bones.
The black smoke was like a viscous liquid, covering the body of the Snake Singing Sublimator inch by inch, as if swallowing it into his stomach.
Immediately afterwards, there was a creepy chewing sound.
Every time there is a sound of chewing, a huge gap will appear on the corpse, as if being continuously eaten by some invisible thing. In the end, the black mist dissipates silently.
Among the layers of shackles, only a pale skeleton remained.
Whether it is the soul, the flesh and blood, or even the bone marrow, they have completely disappeared without a trace. Even if it is thrown into a pot to cook soup for a long time, I am afraid that you will only get a pot of boiling water.
Even calcium is so scarce that there is no room for reabsorption.
When a breeze blows, it disappears silently into a cloud of dust.
The short 'banquet' ended like this with everyone's dull expressions.
"Then, I'll leave the rest of the scene to you."
Ai Qing calmly nodded to Director Fu: "I will submit a request for help to the higher-ups, and I will also ask the Social Security Bureau and the Special Affairs Department to cooperate."
Director Fu was silent for a long time, then nodded dryly.
The next thing to do is to clean up the scene. Thanks to Yi and Ai Qing's consistent style, Huai Shi once again enjoyed the treatment of a special car pick-up and drop-off.
It's like when a leader goes to a field for inspection, he holds a meeting when he arrives at the place, and then brings the souvenirs with him, and then sends them back to him.
"By the way, come tomorrow afternoon."
Before leaving, Ai Qing told him, "There is a courier for you."
What express?
Dongfeng?
Huai Shi stared at the lady in the wheelchair who had just washed the floor with missiles, and didn't dare to ask more questions.
In short, it seems that with a ding, a task is completed. Equipment +1, material +3, experience +5... It seems to have buried the foreshadowing of the next main line by the way.
There are still many doubts in his heart, but fortunately, he will soon have a solution.
Huai Shi took out her mobile phone and opened the address book.
So which lucky fellow will get the chance to treat himself to lunch and answer his own questions?
"What the hell?"
Half an hour later, in Xinhai's hottest Quanque Banquet restaurant recently, Liu Dongli spewed out the tea he had just poured into his mouth, and coughed violently.
"People who have returned to the net, what's the matter?"
Huai Shi was stunned.
Liu Dongli gasped for a long time before recovering, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure that you are the Land of Bliss, the people of the Purity?"
Just as Huai Shi nodded, she saw him bowing his hands to her, opening his mouth to speak. He hurriedly pressed Lao Liu's hand down, "Don't worry about Hua Tuo making three consecutive rounds, Lao Tie, what the hell are the people of Guijing?"
"Illegal religious group."
Liu Dongli's explanation was concise and to the point, and now he was wiping cold sweat and feeling scared: "My friend, why did you make such a big mess? Those are all crazy."
"Really?" Huai Shi nodded knowingly: "I've seen it..."
Liu Dongli was so angry that he gave him another smack on the back of the head: "Are you serious, brother, if you can't handle it well this time, it's not just that you're going to finish playing, maybe the whole Xinhai will be gone!"
"But even if you say that, I have no idea." Huai Shi thought for a long time, and asked, "Which one is better than Lu Ri?"
"..."
Liu Dongli was blocked by his weird question for a long time, not sure if he was brewing some thoughts or thinking about how to correct the thinking of this thing.
"It's not... a category."
He murmured for a long time, but he didn't know how to explain concisely to Huai Shi, so he could only open up and say, "Let's put it this way, Green Day is a bunch of antisocial psychopaths, but the main purpose is to attack the Astronomical Association. You understand?"
Huai Shi thought for a long time, then slapped her knee: "You mean Liangshan hero, right?"
"...Probably similar in nature. Although Liangshan hero and Luri are not good birds, their main goal is to kill Tokyo and take the bird position, and then the elder brother will be the great emperor, and the second brother will be the second emperor. I To be a general or something, so in the final analysis, it is actually an internal struggle."
Liu Dongli sighed and put down his teacup: "Let's talk about the people of Guijing again, but the nature is more complicated than that of Green Day."
"Yes, continue." Huai Shi nodded and quietly jotted down a small notebook.
"Their base is in the hell outside the border, a place called Paradise of Bliss. Even if the Astronomical Association can't get the coordinates, there is no way to fix it all. They have been messing around and causing a lot of troubles over the years. It is said that That's what Manchester is all about...but at the end of the day, their biggest threat isn't themselves, it's what's behind them."
Hearing the place name of Manchester, which seemed to be seen somewhere, Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, and soon, she was attracted by Liu Dongli's next words:
"What they worship is one of the [Twenty-Four Elements of Destruction] calculated by the Astronomical Society based on the predictions of the previous presidents. It is not an exaggeration to call it a god——[Rancher]."
"The element of destruction?" Huai Shi was stunned: "Why is something that sounds so awesome called a rancher? Does he raise cattle?"
"……Roughly the same."
Liu Dongli said numbly: "The reason why it is called a destructive element is that in the evaluation of the Astronomical Society, it has the probability, ability or qualification to destroy the current situation.
It's not something as gentle as a nuclear bomb, but a more distorted qualitative change and subversion. In short, the power to turn the current situation into hell...
You are right to be the great demon king who destroys the world.
It is said that there are twenty-three more hanging like him, and only a few have been released so far, and the wreckage of one of them may be familiar to you. "
As he spoke, he pointed to the sky outside the window.
Huai Shi poked her head out curiously, and looked at the blue sky in the afternoon, filled with white clouds, mixed with traces of fish schools, they appeared among the coral among the clouds, and cast a wave of rippling water towards the earth.
He was at a loss at first, then confused, and then fell into consternation.
"Wait, Coral Cloud?"
"That's right."
Liu Dongli took a sip of tea expressionlessly: "To be precise, it should be called Old Gaia, which represents the destroyed old world... Those things are too far away for you, you know, right now Those coral clouds floating around are its dead bodies.
Rancher, Kingdom of Heaven, Piper, Old Gaia, Man in Gray, Golden Dawn... Among the nine elements of destruction announced so far, Rancher ranks first.
According to the current secretly circulated news, it even involves the secret of the collective fall of the old gods in 1650. The water behind it is unfathomable, enough to drown a hundred thousand of you.
What, are you scared now? "
"..."
Huai Shi was silent for a long time, then raised her hand, "Excuse me, I seem to have heard... the kingdom of heaven?"
Liu Dongli looked at him in confusion for a long time, "Ah, it's the Kingdom of Heaven. In the literal sense, there is nothing wrong with Heaven. The detailed information is beyond the scope of my knowledge. Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing, just ask, just ask."
Huai Shi smiled awkwardly, feeling like she had heard this word somewhere before, but she couldn't put it into words, so she could only scratch her head: "You haven't said it yet, why is the ranch owner called this ghostly name?"
"In simple terms, it's probably the food chain."
Liu Dongli scratched his head, picked up his chopsticks and drew a circle towards everything Huai Shi saw, finally stuck in the sparrow dry pot that was just served, and picked up a sparrow leg:
"You see, from the perspective of the group of psychopaths in the Purified People, this world is a huge food chain that runs through the present, the border, and hell.
Just like sheep eat grass and people eat sheep, if the clergy regard believers as sheep and call themselves shepherds, then at the top of this deformed hell food chain, the person who commands all the shepherds is Rancher?
After the nature of the gods is distorted by hell, the rancher can be said to be an out-and-out evil god.
The whole world is but a vast pasture to it, and all living beings are but food for him.
What the people of Guijing pursue is to integrate with their gods in the final contraction and cycle of the food chain, and become the incarnation of the ranchers... In fact, the so-called Blissful Land is just a dream for the ranchers. Plates, and they are nothing more than tools for ranchers to wash dishes, and even the tools themselves are edible and environmentally friendly materials...like that. "
He paused for a moment, stuffed the roasted sparrow legs into his mouth, and chewed loudly:
"Now, do you understand?"
This is a chapter I wrote after staying up all night after returning home in the middle of the night, everyone please update it in the morning. After getting the vaccine, my arms were really sore, especially when I got two injections on the left and right. By the way, I think the setting of this rancher is very interesting, and I can't help but feel proud when I make the setting.
