"So, they started making monsters."
"Production?"
Xie Zhe frowned. Hanshang's disgust crept into his brows:
"Is this... also possible?"
"The Wuyong clan, like many famous families, employs many doctors. But it is not difficult to treat people. What is difficult is to read the pulse of monsters. Monsters are inherently different from people, and there are even more differences between monsters. Therefore, it is rare to find such people in the world. Most of the doctors are their own tribesmen. And these so-called doctors...have other names in the world."
"Another name?"
"Disintegrator."
This is a title that will be disturbing just once you hear it. It can easily make people think of the three specific words. Both of them felt a chill, showing expressions of disgust, surprise, and at the same time some fear. Madam could understand their mood very well. Even if she talked about things she had known for a long time, she seemed a little tired and gently pressed her fingers between her eyebrows.
"In fact... it's just what the name conveys. What they do is these damned things."
This group of people is proficient in disassembly and separation, as well as suturing and reassembly. Using monsters, ordinary livestock, and other man-made materials, disintegrators can use an original monster to create more than one monster-like being. This kind of creation ability may not be as powerful as the original monsters, but it is better in numbers, and it also saves them the time and energy to capture or tame many monsters. They also have inhumane means, omitting the step-by-step and cumbersome docility in reality, and sealing monsters in the medium... Very few people know what happened to those monsters, whether it was the constant destruction day and night, or the determination of the most powerful. Taking advantage of a weak moment? In the end, those monsters no longer recognized their former companions, and even forgot about themselves. They only regarded themselves as weapons of the Wuwu family, and even thought that they were born this way.
Han Zhang clenched his teeth as he heard this. He had stayed among humans for too long and didn't often talk to other monsters, so it was only now that he learned about these heinous crimes. With a hint of luck, he asked his wife:
"Since they already have so many monsters, with their own unique manufacturing methods... they should no longer need to capture and collect them. In this way, there won't be too many free monsters that will be harmed, right?"
"You think so well. But to be honest, we also hope that they can stop here, but people's desires will never be fulfilled." Madam responded with a wry smile, "The power of the Wuyong family is increasing day by day, and their appetite will not be easily satisfied. . To do these things, they not only need manpower, but also money. As for their unique skills, the Wuyong family naturally holds them firmly in the palm of their hands and refuses to trade them. In order to obtain money, they still need to exploit monsters and directly use the monsters' Exchange things for money. For example, raising a monster in a small space with the lowest quality food and water, and pumping blood and marrow day and night..."
"Forget it... don't say it anymore."
Xie Zhe sighed and signaled to his wife to stop. He looked at Han Shang worriedly. The latter's face was extremely expressionless, his fists were clenched tightly, and veins could be seen on his arms. Wu Yongshi is so cruel and ruthless, I just hope that Ling Huan will pay attention to his own safety in the place where they are powerful. But having said that...she may have gone deep into the enemy camp, so how easy is it to protect herself wisely? They just begged in their hearts, considering that she was an ordinary woman, she should be treated humanely. Although the two of them are also very clear, this requirement is harsh enough for those guys who are inferior to monsters and beasts who have lost their humanity.
After talking for a while, the rain still showed no intention of stopping, but instead became heavier and heavier. Thick clouds accumulated, the sky became gloomy, and the heavy rain gradually damaged the flowers and plants, which were scattered and deserted, making people feel as heavy as falling ice. They had been rushing all the way against the clock, and they were just taking shelter from the rain to take a break and save some strength. The two of them were so anxious at the moment that they couldn't help but think that they might as well continue running in the rain - a quarter of an hour earlier would have given them a quarter more hope. But then I thought about it, after all, didn’t they still know nothing about the whereabouts of Lianyu and Lingyu?
Both of their faces seemed to be covered with cold air, a little pale and blue. The lady looked at them and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, did I scare you? Don't take it seriously. I only mentioned it in passing."
"Don't worry about it." Xie Zhe replied politely, "To be honest, we are also tracking down a key figure of the Wuyong family. It is always a good thing to know more and be prepared."
The lady nodded and asked again:
"So, are you an Onmyoji, or..."
"I thank you, I am an Onmyoji. Next to me is my friend Zhongli Hanshang. I haven't asked you yet. Madam, what is your name?"
Before he could finish speaking, the lady made a small sound of surprise.
"At first I thought this young master... was your shikigami. How offending."
Han Chang had a weird look on his face, as if he was choked.
"Because I am familiar with monsters, I can recognize that you are also a monster, so I was distracted for a moment." She explained to Han Shangyang apologetically, "Well, let me introduce myself... My name is Jiao Mo."
Jiao Mo...
Xie Zhe and Han Zhang were both stunned. This name is obviously not common, and more importantly, they still have some impressions of it. The two exchanged glances, and Yu Hanshang asked:
"With all due respect, may I know your last name?"
"That's the only name I have."
They pondered for a moment. They naturally kept Gui Hai's instructions in mind, but just based on a name, they were still a little unbelievable that they could meet the person they were looking for so easily. However, when they met by chance, the other party treated each other with courtesy, and the two of them couldn't get to the bottom of it, so they pursued and inquired fiercely. Xie Zhe thought for a moment and finally thought of a precise and yet rude way to test. He searched for it and took out the dragon whistle given by Gui Hai.
"Mrs. Jiaomo, do you recognize this token?"
The moment Jiao Mo caught a glimpse of the dragon whistle, he seemed to suddenly confirm something. She looked at them meaningfully.
"In that case, I won't hide it from you. It seems that you know my origin?"
Xie Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. Han Chang nodded and replied:
"I know. You are a visitor from the deep."
"This dragon whistle belongs to a friend of mine." She gestured to the whistle in Xie Zhe's hand, "Since it is in your hands and you have met with him, I guess he must be on this continent as well."
"Yes." Xie Zhe added, "He is looking for you."
"If I'm not wrong, once you blow the dragon whistle, he will appear?"
Both of them nodded subconsciously. Jiao Mo looked at them quietly.
"Then...I have a small request."
"Ma'am, please tell me."
"Could you please stop blowing it?"
"this……"
They originally thought that Mrs. Jiaomo was willing to meet Gui Haishi, and they were even ready to agree. Unexpectedly, her words were full of twists and turns, conveying a kind of resistance. Aren't they two... friends? Why doesn't she even want to see him? That dragon friend was very concerned about her safety, but he didn't expect her to have such an attitude.
Jiaomo paused for a moment and then said:
"Not for now, not today...but hereafter, and don't blow it."
Both of them fell into silence. You looked at me and I looked at you. After a while, Han Chang asked cautiously:
"With all due respect, I would venture to guess - do you have any issues with that friend?"
When Jiao Mo heard this, he suddenly chuckled, and there was something interesting about this question. Her smile is also very nice, like the gentle rain hitting the blooming flowers, with a hint of reproach.
"How could it be? It's not what you guessed. It is true that we have a deep friendship, and we will not easily get into trouble, let alone refuse to see each other because of this contradiction. In fact... it's just that I haven't found it yet. It’s just the person I’m looking for. When he comes to see me, he will definitely persuade me to go back to the sea. How can I just agree to him? And - "
At this point, her words stopped abruptly. Perhaps she felt that it was not appropriate to reveal the next words to a stranger she had met by chance, or at least it was not appropriate to reveal them at this moment. They knew clearly and were not prepared to ask further questions. Xie Zhe just said this:
"You are looking for Kanna-kun, right?"
"Ah... yes. He even told you this." Jiao Mo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "It seems that he thinks you are trustworthy people."
Xie Zhe touched the tip of his nose.
"Actually, we only met each other once."
"Long never sees the wrong person." She smiled softly.
Han Shan then asked: "Then, could you please explain to us the reasons in detail? We are indeed outsiders. Logically speaking, we shouldn't point fingers at your decision. It's just that Gui Hai's family is indeed You have helped us, and we have to accept this feeling. If you are willing to explain it clearly, that would be great, so that we can feel more at ease."
"Of course, this is nothing shameful. I can also see that you are gentlemen, and you will not say evil words or do bad things." Jiao Mo then said to them, "I Well, it has been more than ten years since I bid farewell to the deep sea and set foot on this solid land. Living in a human way on land, I will soon grow old like a human being. Although it is not that my time is running out now, I am also I don’t know how many more decades there will be.”
"But, haven't you heard any news about Kanna-kun in the past ten years?"
Xie Zhe felt a little strange. I don't know if it's because of his connection with the Six Paths of Impermanence, but he always feels that as long as he inquires a little and relies on connections, he can always find some traces of the Impermanence Ghost. It might be a bit more troublesome for ordinary people, but it won't last as long as ten years, right? Unless...Kanna-kun is avoiding her intentionally? It's unlikely, it doesn't look like him.
"Actually, I'm not that persistent. I want to see Kanna-kun. I just plan to follow the will of God and wait for a chance to meet. When I come to land, what I want to see even more is the vast world on this land. . My hometown is very good, but the colorful human scenery on the shore is worth walking and visiting in person. These ten years seem longer and more vivid than the thousands of years I spent in the sea."
"Um……"
"Over the years, sometimes I felt very close to him... only to pass by him in the end. Sometimes, I heard that he lived in two towns not far from me; sometimes, I came to a place where I could hear about him. I just left not long ago. I think this may be because the fate has not yet arrived. Now I don't know how long I can stay in this world. This is my wish after all. I still want to find him and meet him."
She was a little lost in thought and paused for a while before turning to the other two people.
"I know Lord Kanna is investigating the Wuyong clan. If it is convenient, I would like to know more about the recent situation."
Xie Zhe and Han Zhang looked at each other, and the former nodded slightly.
"Easy to say."
The sound of rain became much weaker, and the sky seemed to be clearing up soon.
