The medical team at the station arrived. After understanding the situation, they wanted to take Jiang Xueming back to the VIP tea room.
On the roof of the Five Kings Parliament, under the illumination of artificial ultraviolet headlights, there are patches of pothos and spider plants.
The king hunter had been guarding the approach road to the platform early. When he saw Victor and Jiang Xueming returning safely, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and carefully took the red mountain stone from Xueming's hands, removing all the dust, mud and oil on the road. Wiped clean, the brass bell became as clean as new again, and finally returned to the king's pocket.
Jiang Xueming: "How is the boss?"
King Hunter: "When the red mountain stone returns to it, everything will be carried out according to the established procedures."
A half-hearted heart finally fell, Xueming thought - he finally lived up to the boss's high expectations.
The elevator sign had already shown signs of rust, and the bright red light jumped all the way up, finally reaching the top floor and the fortress platform first opened by the Longhua engineering team and the giants.
Victor walked the fastest and most urgently. He was an important member of this harvest season. When he stepped into the elevator, Jiang Xueming could faintly feel the teacher's depression and uneasiness, and he could also guess something.
Just when the teacher greeted the director of Sun News and handed over all the manuscripts for next month - Xueming also saw that the teacher handed over the walkman with pyroxene, as well as the belt and top. It's like delivering a relic.
When David Victor returned to Xueming, Xueming immediately asked.
"Teacher, do you want to participate in the harvest ceremony?"
Victor: "Yes, I am one of the sacrifices in this ceremony. I will carry the boss's bones into the [Promised Land]."
Xueming took out Mingde's remains, hesitated for a long time, and finally handed it to Victor.
"That means you might die?"
Without waiting for Victor to answer——
——Everyone crossed the large arch on the roof of the reception hall, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
In front of the fortress tower of the VIP special tea room, both sides of the wide road of several hundred meters were almost full of people. The team of nearly 1,300 people was divided into two lines on the left and right. People were originally sitting in the temporary resting place on the top floor, in the teahouse salon Zhong stood up suddenly.
Originally there were rustling discussions, sighs, or laughter - when Jiang Xueming, Victor, and the King Hunter appeared here, all the sounds disappeared.
The team of thousands of people stood up in unison, took off their hats and gloves, took off the jewelry pyroxene, covered up the light of their souls, put away the sticks, and delivered them to the governors at the trade transfer stations in each block.
These people are all Morpho butterflies scattered throughout the underground, and they are all VIPs registered in the station system.
They are divided into six different block camps based on the color of the pyroxene. There are six main colors of red, blue, yellow, green, black and white, among which there are many mixed colors similar to purple-red or golden-green, most of which can find their own place.
There are 441 VIPs in the red zone, including David Victor, who has just arrived. He is the favorite warrior of Mad Butterfly and the camp most likely to produce Morpho Butterfly.
There are 300 VIPs in the Blue Zone, plus the two new ones, a total of 302 people, one of whom is Jason Megan, who has just completed the trial mission. Most of them are magic teachers who combine staff and stone, and the other ones are the lapis lazuli guards of the secret library.
There are one hundred and fourteen VIPs in the Yellow Zone. Gold represents wealth and luck. People in this camp come from all walks of life and are divided into fourteen families. They firmly lock wealth in their hands and determine the distribution of cargo logistics capacity in the underground world. Determine the basic social order of each settlement.
The Green Zone has 187 VIPs. Green represents vitality and learning ability. Most of them are craftsmen at trade transfer stations or scholars at scientific research stations. After VIPs perform troubleshooting work on unknown plots with harsh environments, the geological environment will be improved. , it is their turn to take part in the construction of satellite towns and agricultural development.
There are three VIPs in the black area. Teacher Su Ling lives in it. One of the other two is Su Ling's mentor Luo Ping'an, and a new face. Plus Wen Bucai, who has just returned to the station system, there are four in total. , this block is merged with the white area into [Anonymous].
The white area has fifty-one VIPs, and the eclipsed stones represent pure energy. There are forty captains here, including the crew members of the abyss train, and the captains of the armed trains leading to the Albert Scientific Research Station in the north. At this point, Jiang Xueming's corundum belongs to the white area - but Captain Wood's chicken blood hibiscus stone is not among them. Teacher Wood belongs to the red stone camp.
The total number of passengers and waiters was 1,098, all of them Morphos.
The total number of consuls in each block is two hundred and fourteen.
There are 77 main persons in charge of the Transport Department.
There were four holy beasts participating in the blood-giving ceremony, including the wolf mother, and the extremely fire-resistant Pompeii worm that Ao ruthless Mingde mentioned to Wen Bucai. In the cold and humid environment, its huge, ciliated flesh The body stood out among the group. It leaned against the mother wolf, as if she was frozen, and wanted to stick close to the big wolf.
In addition to the core members of the medical team, armed team, engineering team, and service team, representatives of the [Philosopher Foundation].
[Harvest season] There should have been 1,450 people, but actually there were 1,433.
In front of a sea of people. Xueming's mind was suddenly shocked by the surge of spiritual pressure, and her hands and feet began to stiffen.
Victor gently patted the student's shoulder and pointed to the sleeping Sixty-Three.
"Keep your head up, keep your head up, my student, you in another world have made it through this single-handedly. Don't be nervous - you're going to be somebody."
Xueming just repeated the previous question: "Teacher, will you die?"
David Victor is of great significance to Xueming. He is the first VIP he has met. For more than a year, the teacher has cared about Xueming and Meteor almost all the time.
Although the teacher taught very little, in the nymph stage, he only taught the two how to use emotions to use the power of pyroxene, which is a compulsory introductory course for every passenger, and he only taught them combat skills. Control body coordination and some weird dances.
But unknowingly, Teacher Victor had already given the most important thing to the two little guys. With the most straightforward dance, he conveyed the courage to overcome all obstacles and move forward.
"Go forward." Victor did not answer this question. Whether he can survive the harvest season depends entirely on the individual VIP's will to survive.
The accounting data of the polarizing sextant will show people's "will to survive". Xueming never understood the use of this thing in the past. When faced with the threat of death, don't people instinctively survive? Isn’t it human nature not to want to die?
Later, during the essence appraisal session at the VIP tea room, Xueming learned that this thing was very important, especially after entering the [Death Door] state, it could almost refer to people's [Death Resistance].
For many people who are seriously ill and dying, doctors usually say that whether they can survive the "death gate" depends on the patient's "will to survive."
In front of the physical body of Ao Hun Ming De, the most important data standard for the Morpho butterflies selected from each block is [will to survive].
Facing the physical body of Yaozhu, one needs to fight against its spiritual pressure intrusion and the terrifying spiritual pressure, just like a seriously ill and dying patient who has had his mental energy drained away. If you have any thoughts, you will swallow them up without hesitation.
The teacher didn't want to say more, so Xueming stopped asking.
Like other VIPs, he maintained absolute silence.
There were fifty carriages in the middle of the road, lined up neatly like coffins, occupying the entire road.
Looking further ahead, Ling Weng is holding the boss's body in the form of a small black cat, standing under the wall of the VIP tea room, walking forward step by step.
The king hunter held up the red mountain stone, and Ling Weng immediately opened the curtain of the ceremony.
"We invite Baiweifang of Hongshi to sacrifice the first warrior - David Victor. Unfortunately, your new book may end in the 61st chapter."
Victor sent Xueming in the direction of Baishi camp, and they parted ways.
Then the teacher and Ling Weng responded: "The manuscript for next month has been handed over to the editor-in-chief of The Sun. I will definitely finish the story."
Ling Weng hugged the little black cat tightly, his eyes full of approval: "What a great will to survive! Take Mingde's remains and walk to the wishing pool in the Promised Land! I hope you can become the next [Explorer] King]!”
Victor took away the mace in Xueming's hand, and Xiao Qi handed another mace from the direction of Huangshi District.
Axing also took out his cane and handed the Iron Knight to the festival staff. These three sticks all contained the bones of Ao Mingde.
Immediately afterwards - an old man with a gray beard walked out of the blue zone.
Ling Weng then announced: "I would like to invite the Fool's Workshop of Blue Stone to present the second master - Lupine Hank. Unfortunately, your research on sticks and pyroxene will be suspended for a while."
The old man from the Blue Stone District collected six sticks of different shapes from the assistants and students, took off the pyroxene, and said to Ling Weng: "There is no need to talk about this matter, I will surpass your achievements in my lifetime, He Festus.”
Hephaestus is Ling Weng's real name.
When he heard the human's provocation, the spirit man raised his eyebrows, and his body made of gems and gold and silver let out a chuckle.
"Hahahahaha! What a great will to survive! I hope you can become the next [King Craftsman]! Come to the wishing fountain in the Promised Land!"
Then came the sacrifices from Huangshi District——
"——The two factions of Huangshi are invited to decide on your sacrifice." Ling Weng said this, his eyes were joking, and he glanced at the people wearing gold, jade, and jewels: "Only in your area, the boss did not open his mouth to choose the appropriate one. The candidate. Perhaps you have already prepared? Please ask the two senators, [Golden Spoon] and [Sunflower], to select a sacrifice."
Jiang Xueming looked in that direction——
——After Bai Zijin handed over the mace, the staff sent her to the customer service department. It seemed that Xiaoqi couldn't get along with these rich and golden people, or she couldn't integrate into their social circle at all.
An Asian man came out of Jinshi's camp. He looked to be in his twenties.
Ling Weng immediately said: "Very good! You are the upstart of [Sunflower]. What is your name?"
The young man immediately said: "My surname is Ouyang, and my name is Ouyang Yan."
Ling Weng looked through the guest list and spoke after a long time.
"Are you the son-in-law of the speaker of the [Sunflower] Senate?"
Ouyang Yan, the young man, nodded obediently.
"right..."
Ling Weng: "Call your father-in-law, you are not qualified."
"But..." Brother Ouyang Yan still wanted to explain something. He turned back and looked at the people in the family and his wife. He suddenly gained courage: "I have a strong will to survive! Ling Weng ! I can do it! For my family! I will definitely complete the festival!"
Ling Weng looked sad and full of regret: "It is very likely that if a young and strong young man is to be the scapegoat for some timid old guy, his wife will lose her husband and his unborn child will lose his father, because The rich and powerful people have agreed that this sacrifice can only be made by him."
"Hey!" Thunderous roars erupted from the Jinshi camp: "Who are you scolding?"
The old man said, "Whoever responds to my words, I will scold."
The commotion soon subsided——
——Xue Ming also smelled a different flavor from these few sentences.
The VIPs at the station are never monolithic. There are many Philosopher Foundation personnel interspersed in the camp like Huangshi. They are responsible for many underground and surface affairs. The personnel transfer at Jiujie Station is mainly responsible for the boss with the polarizing sextant, but Other things, such as the local logistics system and administrative personnel, the managers of different plots, the boss is beyond his reach and powerless.
[Sunflower] The Senate is the core of material transportation for most engineering infrastructure. The main role in bringing surface materials to the underground world is the people who bring sunshine.
[Golden Spoon] is based on the Blood Butterfly currency issued by the boss, and builds [Hellcat] and Chaos Seed as a settlement currency system, and is the decision-maker of the underground economy.
As Ouyang Yan comes to the promised land——
"——Where are your bones?" Ling Weng asked about Mingde's remains.
Ouyang Yan just glanced in the direction of the family and responded firmly: "Only four bones are needed to perform the ceremony..."
Ling Weng immediately interrupted: "Who asked you to say that?"
Ouyang Yan was a little timid: "It's not who...I..."
Ling Weng: "Who? Asked you to say that?"
The silence lasted for a long, long time——
——It took so long that the boss yawned in Lingweng's arms and almost fell asleep.
Only then did the old man give up, and then he started shouting: "Next! I invite the Great Dru Yin of Green Stone! Bela Yaha!"
A vegetative person walked out of the team——
——Yes, it is a vegetative state.
This lady's body was covered in emerald green branches and leaves and old bark. It was as if her body had been transformed by her extremely special soul power, and no normal skin texture could be seen.
The way she moved was also very strange, crawling like a centipede, bringing Mingde's bones, multi-ridged bones without any processing, to Ling Weng.
Ling Weng and Ms. Bella said: "Unfortunately, my dear, your good days have come to an end. You may no longer be able to take care of the flower fields in District 61. Those new varieties are for your students. Your students' Students will complete it. I hope you can become the next [King of Craftsmen]."
"Don't use aggressive methods on me." A crack suddenly appeared on Bella's rough skin, which turned into her mouth. From the mouth, slender eyes like snakes emerged, revealing an ambiguous look: "Today I am proud of you." If Hen Ming De adopts a vegetarian diet, its carbon emissions will be reduced by 100%..."
The boss immediately screamed: "That's enough! Stop fucking reading! That's enough! Shut her up! Isn't she really here to cause trouble?! I don't want to eat this kind of thing!"
Ling Weng gently rubbed the boss's ridge, smoothing the hair all the way to the tail——
——The announcement continued immediately.
"I invite you to be an immortal from Black Stone. You are not very talented. Unfortunately, your long life may come to an end. If you can survive, I hope you can become the next [King Hunter]."
Mr. Wen Bucai waved goodbye to the only three companions in the Black Stone team, took the steel ruler from Su Ling's hand, came to the wishing pool, and took a few more steps towards Victor, much like a primary school student finding a familiar classmate. That way.
"Finally, I would like to invite the train conductor from Shiraishi, Jesse Hartman. Unfortunately, you have just been promoted from the position of stoker on the intercity express to the position of conductor. It is very likely that your journey will end early. If there is any Chances are, I hope to see you become the next [King Explorer]."
The necessary conditions for the ceremony to take place have been met.
The four Mingde relics are the red stone's "Untalented Work", the blue stone's six wands, the green stone's original bones, and the black stone's "Wands for Heaven".
Six sacrifices stood up to pick five of them and kick out one lucky one.
The boss has to talk to these people, use the red mountain stone to release spiritual pressure, give these VIPs skin tests like allergy shots, and select the right five people.
In the past, this kind of ceremony would last for a long time. For example, during the last harvest season, all four people except the King Hunter were eaten. During the repeated conversation, the boss had to explain some emergency measures to each block, the traffic at the station, etc. How to escape from danger after paralysis.
But this time, it was almost just a few words to end the process——
——The green Ms. Bella was sent back to the Green Stone camp. It was obvious that the boss did not like to be vegetarian, and Ms. Bella’s will to survive was not strong enough.
During the process of developing a relationship with the ingredients, the little black cat gave special instructions to Victor.
"Have you found the next translator? You promised me..."
Victor covered his face, feeling very embarrassed: "Literacy and writing skills are the only thing on Hell's Highway, and I haven't found a suitable candidate yet."
The little black cat said weakly: "Then don't worry, you can go to the Red Rock District and call someone else to take your place. There should be many, many brave little fools who are not afraid of death. They package themselves into exquisite cat food and grab it. Come and accept this honor.”
Victor shook his head: "No, no, boss."
The little black cat was deeply surprised: "Did you..."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Teacher Victor grinned: "I would like to know what it is like to be a sacrifice during the harvest season. It must be very difficult to face your body and bear your spiritual pressure. Great writing material!”
The little black cat and Wen Bucai said, "He went to Niflheim. Is there something wrong with his brain?"
Wen Bucai switched to Cantonese: "I don't know."
The little black cat sighed, tied the cat bell, and talked to Victor about other things.
"Call Jiang Xueming over. I can feel a very special and bitter spiritual pressure. Has he turned into a butterfly? Why is this spiritual pressure so powerful? The essence is so rich and attractive that it makes my index finger big. Move, did he activate Wind Spirit Moon Shadow? What happened to him?"
Victor immediately became energetic: "Actually, I want to explain this to you clearly after the harvest season. The desire to express is also a manifestation of the will to survive. If I don't finish telling this story, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace. Since you You should listen in advance..."
"Stop fucking talking nonsense and bring him here!" The little black cat was cursing and his quality was very poor.
When Jiang Xueming and Sixty-three appeared in front of the boss, Victor added fuel to the fire and explained the whole story clearly, and the boss was silenced.
An unprecedented bold idea appeared in the little black cat's mind.
The harvest season requires a stable and peaceful sleep. Even the larvae of Lady White peeled off from the body cannot wake up due to the pain of peeling off the skin and gouging out the bones.
Jiang Xueming's soul power can do just that, but no one can guarantee that [Fragrant Fantasy] can really make Yaozhu fall asleep.
The bone-setting ceremony requires at least four Morpho butterflies to complete, and the last extra one is regarded as a substitute, and becomes the boss's guarantee waiter in the bad situation where all the others die and are eaten up by Tao Zhu.
The little black cat suddenly became energetic, jumped on Jiang Xueming's shoulder, and stared at the sleeping Liusan.
"Victor, you can write on him, create images of my mind in his dreams, and read and write his thoughts - call [Hell Highway], I want to talk to this guy."
Victor: "Boss, you want to eat him? Use him as your sleeping pill? As a stepping stone?"
"Higher emotional intelligence." The little black cat smiled ferociously: "stepping stones - can be translated as stepping stones, or as stones of advancement, stones of fortune, and stones of advancement."
