""Core-derived Ancient Beast"? Is this the "monster" that Marco and Val... Valvar mentioned? "Luo Nie asked tentatively, but his eyes did not dare to fall on the spherical body that made people feel extremely uncomfortable, and the terrifying organ that could be called a "mouth" for the time being.
He was not sure whether the "Ancient Yan Core Beast" that made a child's voice in front of him was aggressive to him, so he had no choice but to turn his body sideways and use his peripheral vision to ensure the safety of his surroundings.
However, the "monster" didn't pay attention to Luo Nie's actions, either unable to understand or dismissive. After a brief pause, he continued:
"Brother, I feel so tired...so helpless...so lonely. I...have been here for a long, long time, except for a handsome and strong uncle who visited me a few times. It seems like a long, long time ago, He often chats with me and tells me stories. It’s just a pity that he hasn’t been here for a long time..."
"Do you still remember that when you were imprisoned here... no, what did that "uncle" look like when you were there? Is he good to you? Luo Nie leaned on a rusty steel pillar next to her and asked in a soft and patient tone like talking to a real child.
Of course, first of all, he didn't know whether the "Ancient Beast" that could communicate in front of him knew about the backup elevator leaving the base. Directly asking questions might not yield results.
Judging from past experience, this type of monster with low intelligence does not have the rationality to match humans or the lost. In other words, they do not really understand the meaning of communicating with humans. As long as there is a misunderstanding or misunderstanding, they will be angry and resentful, and they will directly use force, magic or extraordinary power without any disguise.
Secondly, when dealing with children, it will be much easier to talk with them after gaining their trust. Empathy is a good way to communicate with such monsters.
After a minute or two of silence, the "Ancient Core Beast" opened and closed its mouth again and replied:
"That uncle, he is very tall, much taller than you, much taller than the uncles and sisters who have seen me. And he is too strong. A long time ago, he often came here to give me alive meat to eat. "
"Living flesh? Do you mean "unintentional people"? The guy whose heart turned into a machine and flowed red, high-temperature "burning fluid"? Luo Nie asked.
"Not really."
Immediately, he was denied by the "Ancient Yan Core Beast", "The heart of the meat is...well...it's blue, and it's very beautiful. It seems that the meat was still beating when the uncle brought it. He's saying something I don't understand.
"But, uncle broke off the meat, and they stopped making noise. The meat was really delicious, and I didn't feel sleepy after eating it. It's just that uncle stopped coming over recently, and it took a long time to eat that meat. , they are still small and do not move at all.”
"That's it." Luo Nie smiled bitterly and cursed softly:
"Sure enough, those Lost claim to be something more advanced than human beings, a product of evolution, and many of them are pretentious, but their fate is the same as ours. Our compatriots are eaten by "careless people" and Lost. And the lost ones were devoured by more powerful and supreme monsters and gods.
"Human beings are the most spiritual among the original eighteen races. The one that laughs last, whether it is itself or other races derived from it, will experience the original sin called suffering. Perhaps this is not what many bards chanted." "The beautiful world" is indeed the "purgatory" claimed by the bishops and Orthodox Christians. "
After finishing his emotion, Luo Nie turned his head, formally looked at the "Ancient Beast of Yan Core", and said with a smile:
"I probably know what you call meat. They, or rather they, are the lost ones. They have strong physical fitness, mental strength, and can use magic freely. They are the one-in-a-million strong ones. The blue heart is them The iconic feature, the jumping before being eaten by you is the struggle of survival instinct.
"But I heard that this base is about to be relocated. If it weren't for the many Lost ones coming up, Marco and Thalia might take you away when they come back. They told me that the new base will be a A city, a city, will be illuminated by a lot of sunlight, and it cannot be as dark as underground."
"Sunshine, that's
what? Is it beautiful? I don't think I've ever seen it or heard of it. "The red eyes of "Ancient Yan Core Beast" unconsciously moved upward, exuding an aura called "expectation" and "longing".
"Then you are very pitiful. Perhaps it is also the fate of our generation in the wasteland era." Luo Nie sighed and continued:
"Sunshine... is the antonym of darkness. All the feelings that darkness brings to us can have the opposite feeling when we are under the sun. Let's put it this way, if it is dark here, it will be bright there; if it is cold here, it will be dark there. Warmth; damp here, dry there; despair here, hope there. It’s a pity that so far, I have seen countless hypocritical and unreal lights, but I have never seen the purest, most essential and most real light. "Sunlight". "
"Big brother." "Ancient Yan Core Beast" interrupted Luo Nie's sadness and sigh and said:
"Your tone is very similar to that of uncle. Although you are younger than him, I always feel that if you meet him, you will not be so young. Uncle also often tells me that he hopes to see the real "light". one day. For that, he was willing to bring me more meat, and I was willing to stay here and work for him. "
"Work?" Luo Nie looked at the "Ancient Core Beast" curiously, guessing that those channels with energy flow were part of the work.
And the next words of "Ancient Beast Yan Core" also confirm this point:
"Yes, after he connected these tubes to my body, he told me that although it would be very painful, it would ensure that the base here would not be damaged. Actually, big brother, these tubes don't hurt that much, but they often feel very painful. I’m tired, but I won’t feel tired until my uncle comes to see me.”
"If you feel tired, it's actually because the energy has been taken away and stripped away. But as long as the energy output is less than the energy generated, it doesn't matter." Luo Nie explained from a popular science perspective.
"Well, it was always like this before. When you were tired, you would sleep for a while, and you would not be so tired when you woke up. My uncle told me that most people nowadays are "broken". Only the base here is not "broken." Only then can he "repair" more people, and allow those who have "recovered" to "repair" more people.
"At that time, the "broken" world will be repaired, "darkness" will no longer exist, and "light" will take over everything. "The Ancient Beast of Yan Core" said.
"It's... quite idealistic." Luo Nie commented:
"The uncle you call, if my guess is correct, must be the "Big Brother" that Marco and Thalia mentioned to me many times. However, judging from history, the ending of such people will not be good. For example, Yin Fan 22nd, even though he was great enough, he was scolded for more than two hundred years because of some tyranny before the New Yuan Dynasty.
"But having said that, it's very chaotic up there right now. Maybe your uncle and other members of the "Wilderness Tourist Group" won't be able to pick you up in time. The lost ones found this place just now, just a few places above. I... also lost a friend I just met in the battle just now.
"Even if we have defeated the "Fire" that forced us, the life lost will never come back. After all, I also long for "light" and have some keys to access "light". However, it will take a long time to fully obtain it.
"Listen, I heard..." Luo Nie swallowed and then asked about his purpose:
"There is a backup elevator going up here. It should be the passage where your "uncle" often goes up and down to deliver...meat to you, right? Can you give me the direction? I want to... leave here and find your uncle when I get out. "
"Yes, I know." The body of "Ancient Yan Core Beast" swayed up and down and nodded:
"Brother, I feel less tired when I'm around you. Just now... when you didn't come, I felt sleepy to the limit, and I just wanted to sleep all the time and never wake up again. I know... you are a good person, Since you want to leave to find uncle, it means that you are the enemy of those meats and our friend.
"The elevator, my uncle said, is right behind me. If you walk for a few dozen minutes, you will see a door. After opening it, you can go up. But he deliberately set up many side roads and made wrong signs, including cement The ground can mislead those bad people.
"Who are you
Good guy, big brother, just keep moving forward. I feel so sleepy and tired, I’m afraid... I won’t be able to see my uncle again..."
"Then, let's sleep for a while." Luo Nie said softly:
"Even though the "Wilderness Tourist Group" used your monster to extract energy for so long until it produced enough "sadness" to die, you didn't resent them. Their "big brother" is indeed a mysterious enough man. "
As the surrounding pipes no longer conveyed energy, the "Ancient Core Beast"'s eyes as red as the scarlet moon slowly closed. Just as Luo Nie sighed and was about to leave, there was a series of landing sounds, and just now The lost ones following "Yan Xi" who were chasing them appeared behind Luo Nie.
As soon as they saw him and the "Ancient Yan Core Beast" in front of them, they all raised their firearms and cocked their guns.
After taking a deep breath, Luo Nie quickly surged with the power of the plant-based magic source in his body. As his eyes emitted a faint blue-green light, he held down the "Crazy Bear" pistol on his waist, turned around, and spoke in a fierce tone. Questioned:
"It's not enough for you to kill Varvaf. You've all come here to chase me. Are you... going to fight me?"
After a slight pause for a few seconds, one of them took off his mask, revealing blond hair and a standard Crusted human face covered with small scars.
With a slight wave of his hand, the other lost people behind him collectively put down their weapons. Then, he took half a step forward and introduced himself:
"You must be Mr. Ronai who followed Mr. Ingor in Xinfeng Town some time ago. I am Alexei Vladimir. Don't get me wrong, we have no intention of fighting. We are directly under the Strategic Group of the Federation Council. The "Special Mission Latent Team", we are not lost people, but superpowers recognized by the Federal Council.
"We have been lurking in the "Comprehension Sect" five years ago, and have recently come under the jurisdiction of "Yan Xi". We are here to destroy the "base of the wilderness tourist group". General Molun and Mr. Yingol contacted us some time ago and asked us to get in touch with you and help you when necessary. "
"I don't need help now." Luo Jie refused angrily:
"If you had taken action just now, Varvaf would not have died."
"He is a lost member of the Wilderness Tourist Group. According to the threat level to the federation, he will be executed after being arrested. Therefore, it is a good thing for you and the Federation that he and "Yan Xi" die together. ” Alexei Vladimir explained.
"In this case, we have nothing to talk about. I have found the exit from here, and I want to leave here now. And, I don't want you to follow me." Luo Nie said bluntly.
"Of course." Alexey said:
"But not now. The Federal Council ordered us to recover the order monsters here, which is the "MB-012: Core Ancient Beast" in front of you. If it cannot be recovered, it needs to be destroyed. After that, according to Mr. Yingol's request and General Molun's order, you need to follow us for a period of time until the location of the "Evolution Platform" belonging to "Tianshu" is determined. "
"That 'monster' is dying and its energy is almost exhausted. You shouldn't be able to take it away. Luo Nie said with a cold tone.
"The only option is to destroy it. Please give way, Mr. Luo Nie."
As soon as Alexei finished speaking, a "cannonball" wrapped in flames was blasted out from the "Sundial" portable quasi-artillery beside him, and directly grazed Luo Jie's cheek, leaving a small burn mark. , hitting the "mouth" of the "Ancient Yan Core Beast" in front of him.
