Foreword:
People who love each other should not quarrel, because there are only two of them, but the whole world is against them.
——Ernest Miller Hemingway
[Part①·Binding force]
"What nonsense is this woman talking about?"
Meteor stood still with his sword in hand, not daring to act rashly. He looked at the tall strange woman holding her head, and was convinced that she was not a king hunter - unlike the gentle cat climbing frame lady, every move of that woman There is something unspeakably evil.
[She used to be my married wife, Shooting Star Boy. ]
Bu Liuxing asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
[Zhong Kui’s genetic prototype is Ishihara Momo. After many iterations and upgrades, he is one of the managers of the classic human education institution. Babies sent out from this arsenal must obey the instructions of this adoptive mother. ]
[She is a big project, a big IP (intellectual property), and many, many people are interested in her story. Whether it is the dignitaries of Shinto City or ordinary people, many years ago, everyone would more or less train their own [Miss Peach] - first as a language model, and then as a product endorsement. She is a commodity and is sold Come and sell. ]
[It ended up being like this, becoming the manager of the military-industrial economy. ]
"That's right." Zhong Kui gently stroked the skull in his arms, his fingertips brushed across the spinal joints, and gently brought out the arc from the polymer material shield, "So this little brother is the helper you asked for. ?”
Meteor immediately shouted alertly.
"Refeng! This woman can hear you!"
[Her earliest form was a language model, which had to be empathetic. Later service robots not only had to be empathetic, but also had to be empathetic - it's not strange to be able to detect neural signals. ]
Zhong Kui returned the brain in his arms to the petri dish and smiled charmingly.
"Don't be so serious. It's rare for us to see each other."
Meteor stepped back cautiously, and the atmosphere became stiff and hot.
[Boy, what are you thinking about? Your mind seems to be in turmoil? ]
Meteor pinched the hilt of the sword and felt his hands were covered with sweat: "It's your confusion! Hot Wind! You are affecting me!"
[Yes. Am I upset? ! ]
"Of course! This woman and I are not related! What did I do?!" Bu Liuxing could feel the abnormality of the VENOM mechanism, and the synchronization rate was slowly declining: "Her face is exactly the same as the King Hunter, although I don't know What is the relationship between these two people, but it is the same to me. I am a warrior and I will not choose my opponent! If you want to fight, I will always accompany you."
"But Hot Wind! Why doesn't my right arm work?! This arm has become weak!"
Zhong Kui wasn't in a hurry either, holding his hands on his chest with an ambiguous expression.
"Because it has ghosts in its heart, it is ashamed, it regrets, it suffers, it begins to waver and become weak."
Bu Liuxing yelled at Zhong Kui: "You want to fight me?!"
"My mission is to protect the [classic humans] in Guandong City. If you want to continue moving forward, you must defeat me." Zhong Kui bowed his head slightly, his eyes became sharp, and the ⑧-shaped pupils gradually merged into one, locking Meteor: "But sister, I have to say something ugly first - I am very strong, stronger than you think. Don't associate me with Nozaka Yuguang, there is no comparison between the two."
"If your VENOM is disobedient, it will not be able to cooperate with you wholeheartedly——"
Flames spit out from Zhong Kui's bright red lips, and her core engine was fully powered, immediately bursting out with terrifying spiritual pressure and high temperature. The flames left a heart-shaped smoke, and asked her to blow out a sharp arrow, which finally pierced her heart. .
"——You definitely can't beat me."
At this moment, Meteor's limbs felt stiff, as if he had been hit by infrasound waves, and his internal organs were twitching. He didn't know what was going on and was still being stubborn.
"Did you learn this skill from TOM? It's so damn cool."
Zhong Kui narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Want to learn? My sister will teach you."
"It's a pity that I have a girlfriend." Meteor gasped to adjust his breathing, trying to wake up his heavy body again. He felt like he was stuck in a quagmire, and invisible water pressure was forcing his chest and abdomen to deform and shift.
His expression changed, he tore off the front of his shirt, and tore the fabric from the straps of his carrying equipment. You can see various marks on the chest and abdomen——
——The shape of those marks was like a pair of invisible fleshy palms, stroking his muscles and pressing his skin. The strange touch made his whole body tingle and his forehead sweat.
Meteor reached out to grab these invisible palms, but he couldn't touch anything, not even a spirit body similar to a magnetic storm air mass.
“It’s not polite to use your hands or feet.”
He was amazed at this "touch phenomenon" that transcended spiritual energy, and he couldn't figure out the principle at all.
[Boy, this is the air mass she created using magnetic fields and sound waves. It is invisible to the naked eye. ]
[You don’t have electronic prosthetic eyes, so you can’t see electromagnetic waves and infrasound waves]
Bu Liuxing said angrily: "What on earth does she want to do! Why is she touching me here and there!"
[She is teasing you and she is teasing me.]
Zhong Kui grinned loudly, covering his face with one hand to hide his ugly face, and turning the other hand upward, as if he was going to dig out the bird's nest.
Meteor couldn't help but tighten his legs and his expression changed drastically.
"you!"
"Refeng, how do you feel? How do you feel?" Zhong Kui spoke rudely and taunted her husband ruthlessly: "I hold this boy's lifeblood! You are living in his body, so you should feel the same way."
Ah Xing has seen people who risk their lives, but never such a shameless woman! He hugged the Dragon-Slaying Sword and jumped back to avoid this invisible and strange attack, jumping back and forth in the narrow corridor!
The playful expression on Zhong Kui's face changed. It seemed that Bu Meteor's behavior of escaping had angered her, and she began to feel restless. The originally windless environment was reverberating with heavy spiritual energy tides. Now, with the changes in sound waves and electromagnetic force, , wind pressure and howling began to appear.
She stretched out her hand to continue toying with the nameless young man and told old stories with her old love, Hot Wind.
"I can hear your heart, Refeng, why are you panicking?"
"You must know that this body and these prosthetic bones have been tempered by the market. When it comes to being lovable, I would say second. No one dares to say first."
"From military use to domestic use, and then from domestic use to military use, my husband"
"What do you have to feel wronged about? Isn't this our own choice?"
[enough! ]
Bu Liuxing cursed while running away.
"You bitch doesn't have martial ethics! You specialize in the lower third route - I look down on you!"
"Then surrender?" Zhong Kui put away his hands and clapped softly. As the applause sounded, the lights in the incubators around him flickered on and off. "As long as you give up resistance, I will sing you a lullaby myself. There are many good sisters waiting for you in the [Elysium Space], just sleep in my arms like these babies."
"The pressure of reality is too heavy, too heavy for you"
"It's better to lay down your weapons and you can be eternally free."
The pressure of Bu Meteor suddenly decreased, and the feeling of having his vitals locked by something invisible was really uncomfortable. His face was covered in cold sweat, just like an ordinary person encountering a spiritual disaster. He had no power to fight back. He didn't even have the means to counterattack wherever the enemy was!
Zhong Kui, who was standing at the end of the road, took two steps forward. She turned around and immediately changed into a kimono.
The mesh fabric on the body is like an extremely advanced and extremely sensitive sound-plastic projection element.
In Guandong City, Meteor had also seen this kind of virtual reality projection technology——
——The idol of Matsushima Seiko can create specific shapes through the waveform of sound, including the material of clothing, the texture of skin, the overall color, and light and shadow, all of which can look real!
At this moment, sound, the secret key that carries information, affects the energy in Zhong Kui's body. The unstable plasma like flame becomes an oscilloscope in a strong magnetic field.
The shape of the voice formed a bright purple kimono, and she just turned around and changed her outfit.
A huge bow was tied around the girdle, and when he turned around, Zhong Kui's waterfall-like black hair had already been tied up in a bun.
"You like this?"
Another circle passed——
——She put on a white wedding dress.
"Is this still the case?"
From the glamorous models on the fashion catwalk to the swimsuit girls on the shores of Hawaii.
In just ten seconds, Ishihara Momo's undead charms were endless and ever-changing.
"I can change all these sweet things and give them to you."
[I said! Just stop fucking! ]
Bu Liuxing could feel the rage of the hot wind in the VENOM mechanism - that soul had turned into a resentful ghost, with a strong desire for self-destruction and murderous intentions.
Zhong Kui smiled and said, "Are you angry?"
Bu Liuxing only felt weird. He was like a little baby stuck in the middle of this ghost couple who didn't understand the world.
Want him to feel the same feeling as the hot wind——
——There was a deep helplessness and pain that almost drove him crazy.
That was Hot Wind·Hot Wind's wife. Under the catalysis of the Elysian Space, she turned into different modules, turned into different memories and experiences, turned into products on the shelves, and turned into an artificial intelligence assistant.
Becoming part of the service industry, she became a prostitute and a customized toy.
It became a weapon of the military-industrial complex and became what it is today.
She has changed beyond recognition and turned into a monster.
[enough]
[As long as I'm alive! Still living in Nozhong and Yu Guang’s training class! ]
[You can't destroy my will. Don't try to turn me into this! ]
[Part②·It’s useless to talk more]
"Then I won't make fun of you anymore." Zhong Kui restored his original skeletal form and changed back to his original appearance, "Little brother, before we fight to the death, I still have a few things to explain to you clearly, and a few more I have a question for you.”
After what happened just now, Bu Liuxing felt unsure, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke in a panic.
"Ah, you tell me."
Zhong Kui raised his head, his expression became calm and natural, but his eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
"You want to go against the gods? Do you know why Shinto City is like this?"
Bu Liexing shook his head. Refeng wouldn't let him pry into the fragments of memory. Apart from some things he learned about in the Elysian Space, he knew very little about the history of Shinto City.
"Stupid!" Zhong Kui scolded disdainfully: "Do you know why VENOM uses electrolyte solvent as a living energy source?"
"Because no food can be grown here! After the red tide flooded the soil, hematite and bauxite polluted the land."
"But we have to survive. Without food and water, how can people survive?"
"The mantle under the earth is filled with solid electrolytes. VENOM has solved the problem of eating, but what about other problems?"
"The earthquake destroyed the railway between the stations. We didn't have a panacea, so we developed a nanomachined medical unit derived from the VENOM mechanism. In reality, the pressure to survive is getting bigger and bigger. We have to escape into the paradise space to enjoy life and fight against The pressure of inspiration brought by this soil fights against our weak brains and the soaring madness index!”
"Years ago, in order to fight against the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult, we became a military-industrial complex economy."
"Later, in order to fight BANKER, artificial intelligence took over the role of managers."
"But if one day there is no war, what can we do?"
"There is no more pressure to survive, no need for food, no more medical services, no more entertainment and humanity."
"Comrades are going to retire in the Elysium and become useless waste."
"I want to lower my eyebrows and lower my eyes to show off my body and smile. I want to turn into a clay idol to exchange for money."
"Because I am worth so much money, people are willing to pay for me, work hard, consume me, and own me - when someone buys, someone produces, when there are jobs, there is an economic cycle, and when there is a different me, there is There are countless mes. So beautiful, so ugly.”
"As for Hot Wind - everyone loves him, everyone fears him"
"As his name suggests, he is the leader of the Foehn."
"It is the airflow descending from the leeward slopes of mountains and the dry wind that destroys crops."
"It can destroy cities, blow down crops, make people tired and depressed, cause vomiting and insomnia, and can raise the temperature."
"People are afraid of him and hope that he can blow away the winter snow."
"Little brother, it may be different from what you think."
Zhong Kui's eyes were full of amusement, and there was a hidden meaning in his eyes.
"He was the first individual eliminated by the Shinto community because he was too destructive."
"He cannot adapt to this civilized society because he does not love a certain person, a certain object, or a certain group."
"Including his wife, he doesn't love me at all. He will attack whatever he sees! To correct it!"
"He only has the world in his imagination in his heart, and he doesn't like anyone! No one will like him."
"So when the war ended, he disappeared and could only become a helpless ghost."
"So his two children will also be cursed - Ye Zhong and You Guang will also have to live on a leash."
"Do you understand now? Do you know what kind of monster is living in your body?"
"Even if you know these things, you still want to be our enemy? You have to think clearly that Guandong City is just the first stop. There are more than a dozen cities and hundreds of counties and towns in these 378,000 square kilometers— —Everyone who lives here deeply loves the gods of the Six Shinto Schools."
Zhong Kui took out the fighting weapons from his luggage. They were two double-edged daggers about 37 centimeters long. Like the execution swords used by the night patrol, they were both high-frequency weapons.
She held the sword upright, standing upright, without bowing her head. From this stance, it can be seen that she was confident enough to deal with the sudden impact, and her body was very powerful.
"Ms. Zhong Kui, I don't know your history." Bu Liuxing felt heavy and at a loss for words, "But I stand with Refeng."
Zhong Kui felt unreasonable and his expression became distorted: "Why!"
"Because I am a Homo sapiens." Bu Liuxing said: "I have to uphold the justice of Homo sapiens - when I enter this city, Shinto City will not regard me as a human being."
"It turned into a catastrophic beast, asking me to dedicate my essence, selling my memories, and taking away my experience."
"Although my brain is not very good, my memory is not bad. My elder brother once said - this is called human flesh trading."
"You treat people who have not installed VENOM as babies and beasts, and you want them to be turned into materials and commodities that can be quantified and priced."
"No matter how nice your words are, no matter how touching your stories are - it's all justice of artificial intelligence. It may not even be justice. It's a calculation formula left to you by BANKER, and it's a kind of business."
Bu Liuxing raised his dragon-slaying sword and asked Refeng to cheer up.
"No matter what is in my arm, you call Hot Feng a monster - but I don't think so, Ms. Zhong Kui."
"Calling you lady has given you enough face. Your country pays attention to etiquette - this is my last courtesy."
"When you showed off your prosthetic figure to me, when you wore Momo Ishihara's skin to show off your coquettishness - I could feel Hot Wind's heart being split open by an axe, and it was about to collapse. "
"And you don't care, like an outsider, as if you don't care about anything, as if this process of coercion and inducement means that for you, eating and drinking is a matter of course."
"Compared to you cold-blooded and cruel people, Hot Wind is more like a living person."
"You were once a warrior of the Foehn Chapter. You should have heard of the vocation of the unknown warriors hundreds of years ago."
"I'm a human, you're a monster."
"My vocation is to slay demons, so we have nothing to talk about -"
[It seems that you are also a stupid angry young troll! I like you! ]
"——Your code name shouldn't be Zhong Kui. I am your Zhong Kui. It's useless to talk more. Just show your health bar!"
