[Prat 1·Past Stories of Snake Island]
After more than a month of construction, the prototype of the cafe that Meteor had longed for finally took shape.
The anonymous friends squatted in the engineering board room to pack their equipment and prepare for the trip to Hongxing Mountain.
Jiang Xueming was squatting in front of his laptop computer for cross-border communication——
——Jason Megan has already set off in advance at this moment. He is going to the northern outpost to explore the way. He will collect local materials at the trade transfer station to prepare cold-proof clothing and other tools for this trip.
"How's the situation?" Xueming put on the headset and talked to Jason about the trip.
Jason's sighing voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's bad. It's just as bad as last time. I can't find suitable anti-stress and cold-resistant clothes in Iceland. There are too many of you, so we need to tailor them, especially Bu Liuxing. I can't buy his clothes at all."
"Last time? You mean that one?" Jiang Xueming asked about Jason's past: "Did you also encounter this dilemma when you were exploring the North with Wendy Mills?"
"Not really." Speaking of the former waiter, Jason became more energetic: "She is a very ingenious person. She only needs to kill spiritual deer and arctic foxes to make clothes that are durable and cold-proof. Last time we and When people at the Albert Trading Station buy things, these Slavs are all unreasonable barbarians, and the prices they offer are more and more outrageous - the closer you get to Red Star Mountain, the scarcer the supplies, and the prices naturally go up."
Xueming: "Three years later, nothing has changed at all?"
Jason: "What else can change about that place? Apart from being extremely brave and looking for a VIP who has amazing fun, I'm afraid only people from the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult will try to go to Red Star Mountain."
Xueming frowned when he heard the name of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult.
He didn't expect that this land of death would also attract these crazy criminals.
"Why do these guys want to go to Red Star Mountain?"
Jason: "I only see it occasionally. In that ghost place, not to mention humans, the disaster beasts are considered precious protected animals, and these bold and crazy butterfly saints are here to seize the immortal runes from the dead giant's body." Will embark on this desperate journey."
Xueming: "What sect is it specifically? Have you learned about it?"
Jason: "Its name is [Salary King]."
Upon hearing the familiar words, Meteor immediately came to join in the fun.
"Will you spread the fire?"
Jason immediately explained: "It's not what you think, Bu Liuxing - I won't joke with you at this juncture. Seriously speaking, these saints who want to seize the immortal runes are probably the ancestors of those days. The group of people who stole the runes in the palace are also the main culprits who made Chief Jessica feel like a ghost."
Xueming: "Do they also want to become [outlaws]?"
"I know very little about these things. Most of the things about the Death Puppet Agency have been listed as beta-level secrets. Unless you hold an important position or have obtained a VIP qualification certificate, you want to go to the Death Puppet Agency to explore the deepest part of Lu. Well, the secret -" Jason finished half of the rules, and then started to talk about the facts: "Most people will not know this matter, but for the question you asked, I think the possibility is slim. The people of the Crazy Butterfly Sect, the last What I hate, what I hate the most, is the Immortal.”
Xueming: "Is it related to their teachings?"
Jason: "Yes, the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult has many names and many variations, but it never changes away from its sect. Things related to the Vita Brand have a complete life cycle, and most of these people will Fusion and death are extremely important - if a person is immortal, this is the most vicious and severe punishment for a saint."
Xueming: "......"
Jason went on to say: "Similar to other religions in which there is no eternal reincarnation and no reincarnation, life is constantly evolving forward and changing its shape in the wild flow of the times. People in the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult will always put their own Blood is mixed with other things to adapt to the new era and create new life. After completing the mission, the most glorious and greatest moment is when you greet death."
Xueming: "What about Mary Stuart? Why does she pursue different things?"
Jason analyzed: "Because she doesn't believe in religion at all - she doesn't regard the Vita Brand and the Holy Blood of Grace as any aloof gods. All motivations and all results are directed. She just wants to survive. Live long enough and live happily enough.”
Xueming wrote down this information in the electronic file, and then continued the topic.
"Back to this [Salary King] - how much do you know about them?"
"Wendy and I once met a Salary King. Like the Almighty Hand, they are also blood butterfly fundamentalists. The reason why they are called this name is because it is the same as the harvest ceremony of the Five Kings Council." Jason said Traditional festival at the station: "BOSS's suffering brought a panacea, and the essence in his body was handed over to the passengers like sprinkling holy blood. Those who hold this ceremony for BOSS will become kings."
According to the pyroxene attributes, reasoning and logic, and achievements of these five VIPs.
"They are divided into three categories: king hunters, king explorers, and king craftsmen. Those who can survive to serve as BOSS's waiters will give up their names and use this title to spend the rest of their lives."
Jason sent a picture——
——It is the emblem made by King Xin himself. It is a golden-red flaming carriage, and the carriage is shaped like a sun. The horse pulling the cart is a unicorn.
"And these people of the [Xinwang Sect] are like the kings who give their essence to sacrifice themselves during the harvest season. They want to use the power of the Mad Butterfly to collect the essence, burn themselves, and become the sun of the underground world."
Xueming: "How long have these people existed in the underground world?"
"It's called fundamentalism, but it's actually a new sect." Jason replied: "During the Cold War, the nuclear arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States made people all over the world see the power of this artificial sun - so there was immediately The people of the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult began to organize plans to try to obtain this power."
Xueming: "Can they still rub uranium-235 by hand?"
"No, compared to the difficulties and obstacles on the road of science, this group of people prefer to use mysterious things to achieve this goal. Just imagine, the soul power is such a magical thing, what if someone can really do it?" Sen reasonedly analyzed: "Long-term nuclear testing requires researchers who cannot be knocked down or killed. Soul Power, an extremely unstable experimental subject that follows changes in mental energy, will induce many experimental accidents - and Immortal runes have become the power that the [Salary Kings] are eager for."
Xueming: "It's amazing..."
Jason continued: "Tell me my story, Jiang Xueming, I really don't want to go to this place."
Xueming: "Is it because it's too dangerous?"
Jason: "No, I'm not afraid of danger."
Xueming: "What's the reason?"
Jason explained patiently and talked about another thing.
"There are many reasons. The most important one is that the Red Star Mountain outpost is considered the pioneering team of the Soviets——".jújíá?y.??m
"——My hometown is Romania. In my father's time, it belonged to the Warsaw Pact. Later, the Soviet Union collapsed overnight and Romania returned to NATO. My hometown is Sulina, a very beautiful seaport."
"Do you know what this means? I was still learning Russian when I was born, and later English, but I rarely speak the Dacian dialect of my hometown. I am a person who has been robbed of his homeland, repeatedly dominated by the devil of the east and the devil of the west. .”
"My mother tongue is my hometown. If you think about it carefully, if you return to Hengyin City and everyone in your hometown starts to speak Japanese, how terrifying it would be."
"Everything you know has changed beyond recognition. Later, Ukraine and my motherland began to compete for the ownership of Snake Island, because scientific researchers said that there are very rich oil and gas resources around Snake Island, and there is a military base on that small island. , my father was killed in the armed conflict there, only a hundred kilometers away from the port of Sulina where I was."
"I hate the Cossacks, I hate the Slavs, and I hate their insatiable greed. They want to cross half of the Black Sea and go to other people's territory, kill other people's fathers, kill other people's children, and take other people's land."
"Where is the hill where the Red Star is? What can it bring me? I don't understand BOSS's arrangement, not at all - it is a useless spectacle created in the underground world when the Soviets and Americans were wrestling armies. I In order to become a VIP, I went to this place with Wendy, and in the end even my most important lover and friend were lost."
Jason's tone was heavy and eerie.
"Jiang Xueming, can you imagine? If you have an enemy who killed your father and you hate him to the core, but the BOSS wants you to help them, help them open up camps, help them explore the unknown country of the dead, and in the end you even lose your favorite waiter. I lost it and ran back to the station in embarrassment with scars all over my body."
Jiang Xueming: "Let's go find her together."
Jason sneered and asked: "Really? Although BOSS has been telling me that Wendy just disappeared, missing, not dead - but I know in my heart that she will not live long, no matter how terrifying the disaster beast is, it is very dangerous. It’s hard to survive in the North, let alone humans who are lost in the lightless wilderness, inhaling poisonous gas and avoiding dead giants.”
Jiang Xueming mentioned Jason's current waiter: "Your waiter happens to be both a Cossack and a Slav - her name is Katyusha."
"I understand what BOSS means." Jason immediately interrupted: "I know, I understand. Ao rhen Mingde wants me to crush this inner demon head-on, but it is really difficult, very difficult for me to do it, very difficult, very difficult I understand. My hatred for them has risen to the level of national hatred, which is of the same nature as your unfriendly attitude toward little Japan."
Jiang Xueming simply didn't mention this matter, which would easily cause trouble for Jason.
"where shall we meet?"
Jason: "Albert Scientific Research Station is the largest trading station in the north near the Red Star Mountain. Although it is the closest, it is still more than 1,600 kilometers away from our destination. The hill where the Red Star is located is very Deep, very far - God knows how deep these reckless Slavs dug, digging holes again in the winding winding roads underground, and they will keep digging as long as they can make a hole."
Xueming: "That's an old tradition from the Cold War era. It's a competition for excellence without seeking results."
Jason: "After we set off from the Albert Scientific Research Station, there is no turning back. You have to think clearly."
Xueming: "I have thought it through."
Jason: "Really? When I was about to emerge from my cocoon and become a butterfly, I suffered the most serious injury in my life. Can you bear the consequences? Are you really mentally prepared?"
"Don't think about becoming a butterfly even if you break out of the cocoon." Jiang Xueming taunted: "How can you protect yourself with so little fighting power? I'm grateful if I don't cause trouble to your waiter. Please repent! Jason, I am the leader of the Anonymous - I will not run away. The BOSS has tacitly approved my actions, which means that it recognizes my abilities. If it thinks that I am a weakling, too weak to look at or fight, I am afraid it will not let me out at all. This trip is far away."
Before he finished speaking, Jason Megan hung up the phone, as if he was furious and angry.
Jiang Xueming dialed back slowly.
"Are you in a hurry?"
Jason: "The signal isn't very good."
Jiang Xueming: "You haven't said where to meet, but you just told me about Albert Station - Albert Station is so big, where should I find you?"
Jason: "The Red Nails Inn."
Then Jason hung up the phone again.
"But he's capable." Jiang Xueming took off his headset and complained to Liuxing, "I don't know where this cook gets his confidence."
Bu Liuxing, a smart kid, heard something between the words.
"Brother Ming, as you said, our good cat rarely misjudges the situation. After all, its eyes are polarizing sextants. It sent Brother Jason to Red Star Mountain, so it must have confidence in his ability. , that’s why we deploy manpower like this—but why did an accident happen?”
Xueming: "Why don't you go ask the BOSS yourself? Ask the King Hunter for a copy of the log record that Jason left at that time?"
Meteor: "The boss is still sleeping now, and the King Hunter is also very busy."
Xueming thought to himself——
——Red Star Hill is so dangerous, but the BOSS wants Jason, a man with weak fighting ability and weak willpower, to explore such a ghost place, and treats it as a crucial VIP trial trip in Jason's life. It is simply devilish. Examiner's hell test questions.
The special thing about Brother Jason is the twenty-four lapis lazuli stones and the spiritual essence that can control so many pyroxene stones.
Are these connected to the hills where the Red Star is located?
Are there any elements of historical documents that can be examined?
"Brother Ming, how about we go to the secret library again? Go look for information in the library?"
Xueming pointed to the utensils in the rough workshop and told Meteor: "There is not enough time. We have no time to modify our Morpho clothes. I don't even think I can add air conditioning to them. Metal is cold and brittle. These heavy and clumsy clothes The bulletproof vest is no longer needed. There may be people from the Crazy Butterfly Sect involved in this trip, so we need to prepare Russian heavy armor."
Meteor scratched his head: "Then we can't rush in without a clue. Do you know anyone who is particularly knowledgeable?"
"Yes!" In terms of connections, Xueming is simply a social butterfly at the station: "Our leader is Xiaoqi's master. She is from the same school of thought as us. She should be very knowledgeable."
Ten minutes later.
Su Ling sat in [JoeStar]'s small workshop confused, facing questions from two curious babies, Xueming and Meteor.
"I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand."
Teacher A-Ling immediately launched a fatal triple combo, followed by a Qinchuan triple combo.
"It's very mysterious, has a story, and is unusual."
At that time, Jiang Xueming's face was as wrinkled as a little old lady's, and her teeth began to fight, making a crunching sound when she bit them together.
Su Ling still doesn't know what's going on. Her soul power is very special. Even when dealing with exploration missions in unfamiliar areas, there are many game prompts to help her turn danger into disaster.
This kind of academic master usually does not review before the exam and takes the exam naked.
Rather than practicing her ability to answer questions, she prefers to practice her ability to beat the examiner.
then--
——Jiang Xueming dialed Brother Xingchen’s phone number and tried to find off-site assistance.
[Part②·Materialism]
He didn't have any expectations. Judging from the relationship between Tianshu and the sister units of the Nine Realms, he was thankful to be able to collect more or less effective information.
What I didn't expect was that Brother Xingchen was unexpectedly reliable.
"I don't know much about things in the underground world, but I like to highlight the key points - Jiang Xueming, I recommend that you use a male body to perform tasks during this trip, and don't have any illusions about the ability of your little finger."
Jiang Xueming was shocked from ear to ear when he mentioned this information.
"Brother Xingchen, how do you know..."
Su Xingchen: "Your passenger logs are classified as national security documents. I can't see them, but I can find out about the recent spiritual disaster in London, England - and I can naturally find out about you. Don't underestimate my espionage capabilities. "
Jiang Xueming: "You mean, don't use [B·SIDE]? Just rely on my male body to complete this mission?"
Su Xingchen: "Yes, the journey to Hongxing Mountain is mostly a mixture of roads, bridges and tunnels with complex terrain. In an environment of minus ten degrees, it is very easy for machinery to break down in wind, sand, rain and snow - and there are many obstacles along the way. It’s something very special, maybe your extremely precise spirit body can come in handy.”
Jiang Xueming was curious: "What is it?"
"If you ask this, the story will be long." Su Xingchen's tone was ups and downs, "Do you want to listen?"
Jiang Xueming: "Let's make a long story short."
“During the Cold War, we all knew that the Soviet Union and the United States were engaged in a nuclear arms race, right?”
"Yes."
"But most of the reports on the surface are about how many nuclear warheads the two countries have built, but they don't care about how to deliver them. They subtly believe that nuclear bombs can be launched by intercontinental missiles, right?"
"Um..."
"Red Star Mountain is a relic left by the Soviet Union in the underground world when its national power was at its strongest. You can see the magnificent treasures left by this red giant in the world. According to the information I know, as early as fifty years ago, in order to remove the nuclear The force has been miniaturized and miniaturized. In addition to nuclear missiles launched by individual soldiers, there are many new weapon platforms and many bizarre Cold War inventions left in the underground world to deal with disaster beasts."
"You mean, if I can repair these cultural relics, maybe they can be used?"
"Yes, the most interesting thing among them should be an industrial product from the reign of Emperor Xunzong. It is a bipedal walking weapon platform. The reason why it moves on two legs is also very simple, and it can adapt to the beach quagmire of Niflheim. Swamp environment - originally a device adapted to launch mini nuclear bombs in all terrains. For example, during the Vietnam War, the U.S. military trapped in the jungle made Lao Maozi discover this strange weakness. He wanted to repeatedly pull out the ugly appearance of the U.S. military trapped in the quagmire and punish it with whips. Corpse-like - as a result, this long-legged aesthetic has been inherited into the underground world. Like the series of transformation processes of AK by Zenint Company, the Soviet Arms Design Bureau, the Ministry of Defense and the Yinzhevsk Machine Building Plant started After this plan, the code name is [Materialism·Materialism], oh no, it should be pronounced like this in Russian - материализм."
"From your description, it sounds like a two-legged robot?"
"No, they are weapon platforms. It is too fashionable to call them robots - machines are just machines and will not turn into humans. No matter how close-fitting the sci-fi armor is, it is still a cold machine. If you can rely on the die-casting process to restore them, Fix their circuits, wake up these old diesel-powered weapons platforms, and you should be able to find ammunition from the oil paper bags in the warehouse to deal with some large targets."
"Why have I never heard of this kind of thing?" Jiang Xueming was confused. This is too science fiction and fantasy.
Su Xingchen said unhurriedly: "Before you came to Jiujie Station, you had never heard of its name. After you came to the station, you had never heard of Tianshu's name. In fact, what happens on the surface has nothing to do with what happens underground. Just as chaotic and exciting. This bipedal walking all-terrain weapon platform has been deployed in Afghanistan more than once. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, all combat records were destroyed by the KGB. These things cannot be left to NATO and the Americans - —We often say that Russian scientific research relies on archeology, which is also one of the ancient relics of the Soviet Union."
"Is there anything else you want to ask? Commander?" Su Xingchen said with a funny smile.
Xueming: "No more..."
Before Su Xingchen closed the communication, he sent his blessings as he did when starting the mission with Ye Bei.
"I wish you good luck! Operator Xueming, the mission is about to begin!"
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he encounters familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
.jujiazy.
