"shepherd?"
Suddenly hearing this title, Xiao Xiao's heart suddenly shrank.
As early as when he and Xiaosi solved the painful woman in the coffee shop, he heard Yang Jia mention this person.
In this city, there is a person who is "miserable for herding and painful for breeding". He has created countless aberrations in this city. Even his little neighbor, the girl named Nono, may be related to this person. The planning has a certain relationship.
However, Yang Jia didn't say much to herself about this mysterious guy.
At that time, I was just a newcomer, and I was still far away from dealing with such a dangerous person.
But now that I am not very old, why did he suddenly appear in front of me?
The horror and panic in his heart made Xiao Xiao feel confused for a moment, but he quickly sorted it out with his ability to think explosively.
There was no expression on his face, he just kept calm, slowly raised his head to look at him, and said softly:
"Did you instigate all this?"
"..."
"no."
The man in the cloak slowly shook his head, glanced at the rabbit ears, and said, "Didn't she just say that?"
"It's just that several underground organizations in this city invited the monster killer to deal with her in order to compete for profits and territory."
"However, this monster is quite interesting. Do you want to hear about it?"
"..."
Xiao Xiao nodded slowly.
He didn't know why this mysterious guy appeared in front of him.
I don't know why I suddenly lost the ability to summon the Dog of Pain and the Butcher, so I can only delay for a while.
"It's called Man-Eating Vine."
The man code-named Shepherd said slowly: "Of course, this does not refer to the person you just met, nor does it refer to the little boy who is called the monster killer, but the collective name of the two of them. The so-called one they found The killer is actually just a little boy who is only eleven years old now. Every time he kills someone, he just sits in a distant place and fantasizes about killing people."
"Then, the people he fantasizes about killing will actually die."
"By his brother!"
"Originally, they were just a pair of ordinary brothers. After their parents went bankrupt, they jumped off the building, leaving them alone to depend on each other. Facing the persecution of their creditors, this is not their parents' fault, because they originally planned to take care of them. They jumped down together with the child, but it happened that the older brother protected the younger brother, so they left the older brother behind to take care of the younger brother."
"The two brothers live like this. Although it is very difficult, the elder brother always takes care of the younger brother."
"Although he was often beaten up by his creditors and his face was swollen, and he was even taken to do some unspeakable things, my elder brother has always taken good care of his younger brother, so that the younger brother has not even suffered too much. Way to grow up.”
"Until one day, the elder brother was beaten and his head was severely injured, and he became a vegetative state."
"My younger brother is starting to face life alone."
The shepherd's tone was strange, slow, but seemed to be a bit sarcastic: "But he was so well protected by his brother that he never wanted to believe that his brother had disappeared. At that age, he didn't even understand the changes of being a brother. What does it mean to be in a vegetative state? I was just very angry when my brother never came to cook for me or help me fight off those gangsters."
"My brother is very powerful, he always thinks so."
"Although others say that my brother has become a vegetable, what does that have to do with my brother becoming very powerful?"
"Outside the store, he saw the piranha on TV. He saw the piranha with its ferocious teeth that could suddenly swallow a bison. Then he suddenly understood. It turned out that his brother had become more... Were you more powerful before?"
"Then why doesn't my brother come to protect himself?"
"He is resentful in his heart, hates his brother, and is cursing in his heart all the time..."
"Finally one day, the creditor decided to arrest him for debt collection, because his brother, who was lying on the bed of a public hospital with no one to pay him, was about to have his tube removed. Suddenly, he saw his brother again. His brother It turned into a powerful being like a man-eating pipe, and the huge bud also turned into a mouth with ferocious teeth, which bit the creditor who pulled him in half in one bite."
"Brother really came back to take care of him. He wasn't as meticulous as before, but he was able to help him kill many people."
"hehe……"
Having said this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Later, a weird killer appeared in this city."
"A little boy who was only ten years old began to officially enter the underground world by helping others kill opponents."
"He succeeds every time because the opponent he chooses will have his head devoured without knowing it."
"Who can be as powerful as him?"
"Because he has the most powerful vegetative brother..."
"..."
"..."
"this……"
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but his pupils contracted violently at this moment.
The one he just killed was the so-called vegetative brother?
So who is this little boy?
Abnormal creature? Or, a stranger waiting to wake up?
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly looked at the man in the cloak: "Why do you understand so clearly?"
"because……"
The man in the cloak smiled and said, "His brother was made by me!"
"Every step taken by the two brothers was carefully calculated by me and then gradually took shape after I pushed them deliberately."
"It is one of my most proud experiments."
"..."
Xiao Xiao's heart was shaken again and he gave this man a hard look.
He couldn't see his face, but could only see a pair of cold eyes under the cloak.
Even in today's brightly lit office, I still feel that he is unreal, as if he can disappear at any time.
What's more important is that Xiao Xiao doesn't know what this person is doing here, nor does he know who he belongs to.
You can only feel the dangerous aura emanating from him all the time.
Lowering his voice slightly, he whispered: "Why do you want to do such a thing?"
The man in the cloak smiled and said very frankly: "Of course it is to resist you."
"Resist?"
"Yes, you see puppets, monsters in human skin, and ignorant aborigines, but they are thinking of resisting."
"Doesn't this look like a joke?"
"..."
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
He defines himself as...an Aboriginal person?
"Yes."
The shepherd seemed to see what Xiao Xiao was thinking, and said softly: "You heard me right, I am an aborigine."
"In the eyes of you strangers, we are just puppets and materials, right?"
"So you never care about our lives. Driven by the mother body, you manipulate illusions at will and control our thinking, perception, and life. You have powerful fantasy power and can even distort our memories, so... It really starts to treat us like puppets that we are unaware of, being manipulated at will, introducing huge hallucinations into our world.”
"Never ask if we are willing to..."
"..."
"He's an Aboriginal person, an Aboriginal person complaining to me?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao was hit by an indescribable shock, and all three views felt like they were shattered.
In the past few days, he had been looking for those special strengthening elements, and in this way, he recognized the city again.
This city is simply a deliberately woven stage that combines violence, depression, and distortion.
And these ignorant aborigines live on such a stage. No matter what attitude they take, they will be involved. They have experienced all kinds of disasters and pain, and they are fermenting something silently, as if They are trees that have been specially trimmed by people. According to the instructions of some mysterious will, weird and twisted fruits grow one after another, and then they are allowed to be picked...
But now, suddenly there is a special fruit complaining to myself?
Talking to himself about his pain?
Before getting to know this city, everything in this city feels reasonable.
But after understanding the nature of this city and suddenly hearing these words, Xiao Xiao actually felt a creepy feeling.
"you……"
His voice suddenly became hoarse and he whispered: "Why did you come to me to say this?"
"Want to kill me?"
"..."
"kill you?"
The shepherd seemed stunned for a moment, shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's useless to just kill you."
"I came here this time just to meet the future lord of Black Gate City..."
The shepherd replied with a smile, and even his cold eyes seemed to have a little more smile: "And through this conversation, I will let you understand that we aborigines are not puppets in your eyes, and we will not sit back and watch being manipulated by you. The hallucination behind us engulfs the entire city. We are also understanding the power of the matrix and trying to use it. And, sooner or later, we will succeed..."
"Drive away all illusions and take back our city..."
"For this, I will not hesitate to pay any price..."
"..."
"..."
"There is some special power that affects him while he is carrying out your special training."
In another corner of the city, Yang Jia had taken a bath and was sitting on her small balcony. She took out a book, put on her glasses, and looked at it carefully. The bustling night view of the city downstairs seemed to become the background for reading. , adding a sense of beauty to her figure.
Until the phone rang stubbornly, and Mr. Ye's voice didn't seem so calm.
"I know."
Yang Jia said softly: "We have to let him really get to know this city, right?"
Mr. Ye was silent for a moment and said, "Is it in your prediction?"
"No, I just guessed it."
Yang Jia said softly: "As early as when the Silver Bullet family rebelled, I realized that you are not omnipotent."
"For example, you expected the impact of the Kingdom of Decay on this city, but you didn't realize that the blank period after the Black Gate Fog Incident until today has caused some of the most terrifying things to brew in Black Gate City. That’s the shepherd.”
"He was supposed to be a member of the First Nations, governed by the will of the city."
"However, perhaps it is because the independent thinking given to them by the city has produced a variable that exceeds the limit due to the influence and collision of each other, or perhaps because the strangers in Black Gate City have never bothered to actually carry out their mission, and actually He was born as a monster with a high degree of autonomy, even beyond the control of the city's will, and with powerful power."
"He should be considered the most powerful and special aberration I have ever seen."
"A person has come to life and knows how to study and utilize the power of painful substances and aberrant creatures..."
"The most powerful aberrant creature that has escaped the control of the city and even dares to declare war on the will of the city and all of us strangers!"
