It seems that things have slipped in an unknown direction...
Facing such a blood demon, Ronan just felt baffled.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was restrained on the surface, but actually still had arrogant and burning energy and blood lying there, Ronan would have doubted whether he had met a bad salesman.
Ronan said politely: "Sorry, I don't quite understand."
"Ah, I was too excited and didn't explain it clearly."
The blood demon didn't come up to ask for Ronan's signature. When he didn't refuse immediately, he kept his enthusiastic attitude, dragged Ronan to a seat on the street, sat down separately, and inquired diligently:
"what do you want to drink?"
"Just clear water."
Just in time to replenish the water vapor prosthetic body, I just shook hands with the blood demon and was burned by the other party's strong energy and blood, causing slight damage to the structure - this must not be hidden from anyone, but neither Ronan nor the blood demon cares. this.
After the necessary politeness was over, the blood demon began to bring the matter to the point: "Brother Luo, it's like this...ah ha, it would be appropriate to call you 'brother'."
To an extraordinary being who takes the initiative to express goodwill, whether it is true or false, you must always give him some face. Ronan couldn't refuse, so he smiled and returned to the more familiar introverted boy. Let's see what this expressive guy was up to.
The blood demon said, "We're going to have a long conversation today": "Let's start over from the beginning. Let me ask you first, brother, do you know about the fact that I funded the acquisition of "Deck" magazine?"
Ronan responded honestly: "I heard about it. I just heard about it last night."
"Yes, it just happened in the past two days." The blood demon grinned again, "Actually, with your personality, brother, I am quite surprised to know such boring frivolous things."
"..."
Seeing how the blood demon commented on the news that related to him, Ronan really didn't know how to continue.
The blood demon seemed to be able to sense his thoughts, and smiled even more brilliantly: "I originally bought it for fun, I'm happy, and it can make everyone laugh, of course it's better... I know this, so this "Card" You should also know what "Group" magazine does."
"Well, maybe it's for ranking extraordinary species?"
"Almost, almost." The blood demon raised a finger, "Speaking of rankings, brother, you know, I'm worried that you have an illusion."
Ronan only felt that the blood demon's mind was very free...
Just listen to the blood demon said: "I know brother, you have entered this circle not long ago. But the level of contact was very high at the beginning. Recently, I have been going back and forth with Ouyang, Emperor Wu, Zhen Shen, and Abner. They interacted with each other. Some time ago, there were also Gong Qi and Jin Tong. Oops, there were too many contacts.
"And, how should I put it? Let me be blunt. Young people always view things in black and white. They are either friends or enemies. Of course, you have emerged too quickly. Some old people have no time to adjust their attitudes. One second it looks like you can handle it casually, but in the blink of an eye you're about to meet... This feeling of embarrassment is very embarrassing, you know?"
"So, you have friends, and most of them will show good intentions to you from the beginning; but there are also many enemies, and they are always very extreme... you understand."
The blood demon's language was very exaggerated, but it was very graphic. Ronan could not help but think of some people and things. Even though the blood demon also called him "young man" in an old-fashioned way, he didn't feel bored. Probably because of the novelty.
Rarely did anyone say this to him face to face. Especially coming from the mouth of a transcendent species, it is to some extent more authoritative than the analysis of those intelligence agencies.
Listening to more comments like this can be considered a kind of correction.
Ronan nodded: "Pretty accurate."
"That's right, I have a good way of judging people." The blood demon's smile never broke. He waved his hand, "I'm not doing a personality analysis for you. In fact, I really don't believe this. Young people's personalities change very quickly. , you are only seventeen this year, right?"
"June happens to be seventeenth."
After receiving Ronan's affirmative reply, the blood demon's expression became smoother: "You see, life has just begun. When I was seventeen, I only knew how to hang out in nightclubs.
"As for you, it has been less than a year since you entered this kaleidoscope-like circle. The inertia of your previous personality is still at work. The things you have been looking forward to have not been completed. This round of explosive conflicts has not ended yet. You can even breathe a sigh of relief. There is no chance. Just like the glass of fruit wine in front of me, the dregs have not yet settled. Who knows what will happen in the future?
"If you have to wait for a period of time, maybe one or two years, maybe three or five years, suddenly there will be a period of peace... When we talk again, it will definitely not be the topic we are talking about now. Maybe you will be like me. You may be even less popular than you are now, but you will definitely change drastically, because one year in this circle will have as much impact on you as five or ten years in your previous life circle, and sooner or later the traces of the past will be distorted or even dissolved. If it falls, I guarantee it!"
Ronan was thoughtful.
The blood demon opposite him slammed the table: "Damn, we're off topic again, what are we talking about?"
"Talk about the rankings and my illusion."
"That's right, an illusion!"
The blood demon poked Ronan's chest with his finger: "Brother, you have had a lot of ups and downs in the past half year or so. Not to mention other things, even the conflicts with the extraordinary species were not so three or two. But you It’s a special case, you know?”
"Um?"
"Absolutely a special case!" The blood demon's tone was very firm, and in the blink of an eye he asked another question, "As far as I know, the direct conflict between you and the extraordinary species, on the surface, is probably Jin Tong?"
Ronan smiled, noncommittal.
The blood demon didn't mind, and continued: "That happened last winter. Moving forward from this point in time, you know the last conflict at the level of super mortals, which was a big fight, serious injuries or even death. What was it? Time?"
This Ronan was somewhat impressed: "It seems to be Mr. Jin Buhuan?"
"That's him. That was in 1993. What about further back?"
Ronan could only shake his head.
The blood demon began to twist his fingers one by one: "Further back in 1991, the clown Rabbi challenged the Secret Lord because of the empty big and small ghost cards in the "Deck" magazine... This was also the time when this magazine was at its most glorious. . Actually, making rankings involves a lot of things at our level, but "Deck" still has some new ideas, plus this glorious history, so this time I will aim at After it, I plan to add a little more flavor to it.
"Further forward, in the second half of 1990, Apollyon lost to the Lord of the Secret Contract and signed the draw. Otherwise, the rabbi would not have brought him out for a duel if it were not for the ability shown by the old man of the Secret Contract this time.
"Further back, at the beginning of the same year, it was Nick who was a prodigal. He did something that made people angry. He was chased into the deep sea and never dared to go ashore for the rest of his life.
"Look again, it's gone! Brother, you see, more than half of the 1990s have passed, and there are only so many battles between extraordinary species! Of course, this does not include those point-and-stop, mutually scrupulous gestures. Excuse me – don’t you think this is boring?”
"Uh..." Ronan really didn't think so. The blood demon raised his eyebrows: "This is a difference in our cognition, we can put it aside for now. The fact is that there are eighty or ninety extraordinary species in the world, and there is too little direct communication with each other. Everyone is secretive, looking to the east and looking to the west. Although I already wanted to peel off some people's skin, I was always worried about things like cranes and clams fighting, fishermen getting profit, and so on.
"Of course, there is also the constant indoctrination and constant pulling of the reins by the Star Alliance Committee. Why do you think the Deep Blue Platform suddenly entered actual combat at the end of 1990? Wasn't it frightened by the battle between the old man Miqi and Apollyon! To guard against the wilderness, we must guard against the extraordinary. Plant it!”
The blood demon became excited and gave Ronan no room to interrupt. He kept talking:
"In this situation, what is the comparison of strength between most extraordinary species? It is never based on each other's record. At most, it is based on the basic realm and replaced by the record against aberrations...
"Actually, if it's really just like this, that's it. Then you just put An Dongsheng at the top of the world! But that guy is just a 10 of spades, and he almost didn't make it to the top 16. Why? ?
"Because the list is still considering the social status, academic achievements, and political influence of all the people on the list... Haha, so Abner is the King of Spades, Mou Zhengye is the King of Hearts, and Lanier is the King of Clubs, not to mention Talk about the four of the three major religious orders.”
Ronan was already a little tired.
He knows An Dongsheng, because even in the secular world, Anseong's "An Baizhan" is a legendary figure. In Ten Days in the Wilderness, there is an NPC character based on him - not a hero, but a commander who dispatches daily tasks. Officer, very aloof.
Lanier... seems to be the second-in-command of the Justice Order?
As for Apollyon, Nick, and Clown Rabbi, he only had a vague idea. His best choice now might be to check the last issue of "Deck" magazine online...
Then again, these are just details that are not friendly to obsessive-compulsive disorder. The real core content, that is, the basic intention of the blood demon, although it went in a big circle, Ronan still heard it:
This guy is simply afraid that the world will not be in chaos!
He wants to use the influence of "Deck" magazine to stir up trouble among various extraordinary species in the other world!
In other world circles, there is a concept that equates extraordinary species with large-yield nuclear bombs.
In Ronan's view, if calculated using mathematical formulas, the theoretical destructive power of nuclear bombs must be far greater than that of extraordinary species. But on a practical level, he already has a say in what an extraordinary species can do.
When two extraordinary species collide head-on, especially in the form of a life-and-death contest, what kind of consequences will happen, when you think about the seriousness, can really make people shudder.
If we follow the blood demon's ideal state...
Ronan still didn't want to think about it and didn't want to help, even if it was just to do some trivial work.
Absolutely not!
"Mr. Blood Demon..."
The blood demon raised his hands and pressed down, interrupting Ronan: "I understand what you want to say, it's probably something like 'different ways don't work together'. But, brother, please don't ruin the current atmosphere for now. .
"Actually, I could have said it more tactfully, or even not tell you, and just talk about the contract directly. But I still said it, which shows an attitude and respect: respect for your status and respect for your IQ. , respect your strength.
"Let's make all these things clear. When discussing business, we have to come back to the conditions in the end."
As he said that, the blood demon reached out, took the password box that had been put aside prematurely, and slapped it on the table.
