Chapter 45: The Tip of the Iceberg

"Hello, new knights!"

A magnetic voice was heard, and the speaker was Qin Xiaoxia who was standing right in front of the four people.

In fact, the first person who attracted the four people after they woke up was Qin Xiaoxia.

Although the meaning of the words came from Su Su who immediately performed the translation duties, the attention was always focused on the original speaker.

The space around this person feels blurred, as if it was distorted by a raging fire, but it brings them warmth.

The aura this person exuded was accompanied by a strong sense of oppression and an indescribable sense of closeness.

After the broken soul was repaired by the same source of magic, there was a special and implicit sense of security and dependence from the source of magic, just like a young bird seeing its mother for the first time.

Qin Xiaoxia noticed this particularly keenly.

"Knights? You mean us?"

After all, Baru is the elder with the most experience among the four. He was the first to ask this question, which was not only the question that the four people on the ground wanted to know, but also the question that Su Su, Jenny and others wanted to know.

Why did the four endangered people become the so-called "newborn knights" after being rescued?

This title brings a subtle feeling of jealousy to others.

When Doudou heard that his older cousin was going to fool people again, he immediately jumped onto the sofa with the cover pulled back and sat down.

This is more enjoyable than watching TV.

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Qin Xiaoxia calmed down the fluctuations of magic power in his body and returned to being an "ordinary person".

With a smile on his face, Qin Xiaoxia sat cross-legged on the ground to prevent the four people covered with the cloth from feeling superior.

Seeing this, the others simply sat down together.

You know what, it’s quite lively when a group of people sit together.

“This is a very old story.”

With a sigh, Qin Xiaoxia opened the curtain.

He glanced at Su Su and nodded to her, who nodded excitedly, already impatient to listen to and share a story buried in history.

"I believe you all know that what you encountered before was not something that ordinary people could contend with. Was it terrifying? Was it helpless? Was it hopeless?"

The process of "digesting" the soul is extremely cruel, even worse than lingchi.

Since the soul is much more sensitive than the body, the victims are often conscious while being cannibalized, which is equivalent to watching themselves being "eaten".

This is true unless some alien monster possesses the power to paralyze the soul. Obviously, the demonized crystal mine is not one of them, and there is no need to paralyze the soul of its prey.

After hearing Su Su's translation and retelling, the four of them got goose bumps all over their bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their bodies even began to tremble uncontrollably.

The calmness that the four people had maintained after waking up was also broken at this moment. The fear was still fresh in their memory!

"Don't be afraid. I have already dealt with the demonized crystal mine. It won't cause any trouble now."

After saying these words of comfort, Qin Xiaoxia's tone suddenly changed and his expression became serious.

"But do you think this is horror?"

"Hehe, the demonized crystal mine is just a weak anomaly with no intelligence and acts on instinct. Its harm is not as great as that of a Chipero ghoul. Oh, by the way, Su Su has seen the larvae of that thing."

Su Su was stunned, and then she understood what the thing on Haohao was before.

While she was lost in thought, the three people and four naked men beside her became extremely anxious and kept urging her to translate quickly.

After Su Su explained the whole story, Jenny and the others realized that Su Su had experienced a supernatural event in China and was lucky enough to meet this "rescuer".

This method of supplementing the narrative with the help of others is a powerful agent for increasing trust, especially when this other person is very familiar with the person involved.

So Qin Xiaoxia patiently listened to Su Su's emotional retelling of the process of rescuing Haohao. She also mentioned the oolong incident in the amusement park, which made Jenny and others, including Baru, couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that he had almost finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxia calmly explained the characteristics of the Chipero Ghoul bit by bit in detail.

Everyone was horrified as they heard the story. The four "quasi-knights" were fine, but the others couldn't help but hug and rub their arms, feeling their hands and feet were cold.

The name "ghoul" easily reminds them of monsters in games like World of Warcraft, but only when they truly understand what it is can they realize how terrifying it is.

This is a kind of asexual reproduction, a social infectious creature that goes through a series of processes including hatching parasitism, metamorphosis, and mature predation. It is a terrifying invasive species between a ghost and a corpse.

Once the ghouls are given some time and space, I'm afraid that future Resident Evil films can be shot on real scenes, and they will definitely be more terrifying than the stupid creatures in the original!

This also made them understand why the harm caused by the demonized crystal mines was far less than that caused by the zombies.

"In history, we have experienced countless chaos, which is a horror that we don't want to imagine. This time can be traced back to thousands of years ago!"

Without giving Su Su time to wonder, Qin Xiaoxia continued his narration, his tone changing from deep sorrow to bloody as the historical circumstances changed.

The world has never been a lonely existence, and it is so ridiculous that the current scientific community in the world is doubting whether human beings and the earth are lonely.

Since the early stages of civilization, human beings have constantly encountered enemies that they cannot resist and have been facing the crisis of genocide at any time.

This is not only true for humans, but also for other species in the world.

"But human potential is infinite, far beyond your imagination!"

In the darkness of sorrow, Qin Xiaoxia's words seemed to bring out a ray of light, and he spoke the next words with a stressed tone and an emotional voice.

"Until the dawn!"

Su Su's enthusiasm was completely ignited by one sentence, and she was already crying when she repeated it to her friends.

She seemed to see the coming of the end of the tragic days of mankind and the world.

The other listeners felt the same way. Although they didn't understand what the dawn was, they were deeply moved by the emotion of finally welcoming the first ray of light before dawn.

Including the four prospective knights, everyone clenched their fists unconsciously.

Doudou was holding the plastic bag that he had never thrown away. The sandwich inside tasted average to him, but what else could he do without popcorn? He just ate it.

Everything tasted good while watching the show, except that the old sofa was not comfortable enough, which made him miss Qin Xiaoxia's home.

"Another group of guys is finished~"

Doudou thought so.

"We learn, we improve, from each other and even from the monsters. After the first group of awakened humans had been fighting alone for quite a while, the nine great sages decided..."

Qin Xiaoxia's narration paused briefly as if he was thinking something out.

"Build 'Dawn'!"

The secret of history was revealed as the tip of the iceberg. Su Su covered her mouth and finally understood the origin of the dawn.

The first light ignited in absolute darkness!
