Chapter 50 Chapter 50
In order to protect the safety of tourists, the Grand Canyon Scenic Area no longer allows tourists to enter at 5 pm and closes completely at 6 pm.
Although some were dissatisfied with the scenic spot closing so early, this year there were special programs and tourists still had fond memories when they left.
"I got Director Gu's autograph!"
"Me too!"
Since the thrilling Double Dragon Fight show ended halfway through, in order to give back to the tourists, Director Gu had to go online again at this time.
I was forced to hold a small meeting and appeased a lot of people, but I just happened to miss the news that Tang Erbao and others were coming.
When he returned to his residence, Director Gu only heard people discussing in low voices: "So small, so beautiful, so cute."
"Oh my god, Lord Ning is really..."
Director Gu: “?”
What the hell?
How come the weather changed when he was just delayed for a moment?
Pushing aside the crowd of onlookers, the first thing Director Gu saw was a cool guy standing outside the door with his arms folded, silent.
When he saw Director Gu, this cool guy raised his eyes and looked at him, then lowered his eyes with lack of interest.
"Who is this?" Director Gu pulled someone over and asked curiously.
"I don't know." The crew members were originally very excited and chattering about something, but were suddenly stopped by someone for no apparent reason and became a little impatient.
But this impatience disappeared after he saw that it was Director Gu.
The staff member coughed, suppressing the embarrassment of being caught by the boss while slacking off, and said seriously, "He came back with Teacher Ning, and he stood here, saying that he wanted to protect Teacher Ning."
"?"
Protect?
This isn't some dangerous place, do we still need a stranger's protection?
What's more, isn't the most important problem facing us now the seemingly ferocious uninvited snake demon?
Because he was called away in the middle of the fight, Director Gu still didn't know how the fight was going and how far it had progressed.
……Wait.
Since the staff were discussing Ning Su, it was obvious that he must have returned.
Director Gu passed by the cool guy, took a few steps, then suddenly reacted, took a few steps back, and looked up and down at the strange face standing at the door with a strange look.
"You...are you Jin?"
The cool guy looked over with a blank expression.
"Please, what's going on? Why did that Jin come back? He looks just like a door god."
Director Gu walked in dazed, muttering to himself. The next second, he discovered that there were many people in Ning Su's room.
As he spoke, these "people" turned their heads silently and looked at him.
One of the familiar faces shook his head at him, raised his finger and made a "hush" gesture.
Director Gu was stunned for a second, and when he reacted, his eyes were already attracted by the things on the bed.
dragon?
...This is a dragon!
As Chinese, the mark of the dragon is also engraved in our DNA.
Although the image of the dragon varies in countless film and television works, when Director Gu really saw a dragon, the first thought that popped into his mind was "This is a dragon."
Research on the dragon in ancient legends is that the dragon has a snake body, deer horns, and bat wings, and is a product of stitching.
However, the sleeping dragon in front of him was definitely not like that.
The other party was probably less than two meters long, with its body covered with evenly distributed and dense light golden scales. It had horns on its head, and as if to match the size of the dragon's body, the horns were also small, making it look a bit miniature.
Then, there was the little dragon's pair of wings.
The color of these bone wings is a little lighter than the dragon's body, a textured golden color. When the cub falls asleep, they are gently folded up and located on both sides of the dragon's body.
The room was on the side of the canyon, so the lighting might not be very good. However, in this dim room, the light golden dragon seemed to be shimmering with a soft light.
artwork.
As a practitioner in the art creation industry, although Director Gu is not a fan of antiques, he has definitely seen and appreciated quite a few.
But no treasure can compare to the dragon before him.
This is a dragon!
Only after seeing this mythical species with his own eyes did Director Gu understand why the ancients resolutely used this powerful creature as a totem and even called themselves descendants of the dragon.
It is so beautiful.
Even a sleeping dragon seems to have a sense of sacredness that makes people hold their breath and concentrate.
I don’t know how long I was controlled, Director Gu also remained silent and joined the group of people in the room who were in a daze——
Although it might seem a bit abnormal to watch a baby dragon sleeping, how many opportunities are there to get in close contact with a dragon in silence like this?
So, Director Gu simply put aside all trivial matters and focused his attention on this golden dragon.
It was when he focused his whole attention on the cub that he noticed details that he could not perceive at a glance before.
It turns out that cubs also dream when they are asleep - the young dragon in the dream didn't know what it was dreaming about, smacked its lips, and turned over.
The young dragon lay flat, face up, and Director Gu also saw the claws that the other party had just hidden under its body.
So small.
Director Gu looked at the claw silently, imagining the scene of the young dragon flying over - this claw should be retracted in the sky.
Oh, and can it fly?
Although it has wings, can such small bone wings support it to fly in the sky?
However, some Chinese dragons can fly even though they don't have wings.
The thoughts in his mind were endless, but soon, he had no time to think about anything else - the young dragon was sleeping soundly, snoring softly, his chest rising and falling rhythmically as he fell asleep.
Oh my god!
Although he obviously didn't like cubs and wasn't attracted by the so-called "cute elements", bubbles of excitement kept popping up in Director Gu's mind at this moment.
This was also the first time that he understood those workers who were attracted by the panda live broadcast, forgot about work in order to watch the pandas, and did not want to leave the screen for a moment.
This is a national treasure!
It’s not a furry national treasure, but it is a legendary national treasure.
At this moment, Director Gu reconciled with something he had never understood before - how about, in the next movie, he also shoots some cute pets?
The theme is dragon, which is good.
"...What are you doing?" Just when everyone in the room was still in a daze, the screenwriter finally couldn't stand it anymore and came over.
Director Gu is such an ass. He was here just now, but how come he turned around and never showed up again?
"Shh!"
The next second, Zhang Ronghe also saw Youlong on the bed and fell into silence.
However, unlike Director Gu who was thinking about what to shoot for the next movie, a light bulb went off in his mind, and suddenly, many sparks flashed out.
After a moment.
"I want to change the script!" Zhang Ronghe said firmly.
This earth-shattering statement made the young dragon, who was originally in a deep sleep, subconsciously open his eyes.
The dragon's pupils are emerald green, and at this moment, it reminds people of an empty deep pool.
Because the young dragon had just woken up, its pupils were round and a little confused.
Of course, when the young dragon realized what was happening, its round pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils——
"Don't do this kind of thing!"
Please don't change the script.
After three months of hard work, the movie has finally come to an end. What if the screenwriter makes another crazy change to the script and the movie fails?
As a member of the Demon Bureau, Ning Su worked hard to get himself to the crew and forced himself to do things he was not good at, just to make some money.
——Even if we can’t make money, at least we can’t lose money, right?
Ning Su sat up from the bed and was about to think of a way to dispel the screenwriter's irrational impulse, but then he found that the room was silent.
What happened?
Why are you all looking at him like that?
He didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but he actually saw something like starry eyes in Director Gu's eyes.
"A dragon that can move!"
It’s even more eye-catching!
It was also at this time that Ning Su's memory slowly returned - by the way, what happened before he fell into a coma?
They were filming, and then Jin came. He fought with Jin, and then found schistosomiasis from Jin... and then he was beaten by Jin.
And then——
He turned into a dragon!
At this time, he noticed the changes in his body. He looked down at himself, let out an "ah", and fell limply on the bed.
Looking at Long, who was lying on the bed frightened by his true form, Director Gu murmured, "Even cuter."
Zhang Ronghe: “?”
Someone more exaggerated than him has been found.
When Ning Su woke up again, everyone in the room had left, leaving only Tang Erbao and Xuan Gui, his two best friends.
Seeing him open his eyes, Tang Erbao put down his phone: "You're awake, Long, who fainted because of his own shock."
"How could a dragon scare itself to death?"
"You should be curious too. After all, not every dragon will faint from being scared by itself."
Ning Su: “…Asshole.”
Shut up, everyone!
Sensing the threat from Ning Su's eyes, Tang Erbao and Xuan Gui smiled and made a gesture to cover their mouths, and finally stopped teasing him with this joke.
But obviously, for the bad friends, this time the rotten joke has turned into its original form, just like the "hero" joke, and it will definitely be played until Ning Su gets old.
He looked up at himself, quite uncomfortable with his original form, and tried to transform back into human form.
However, the next second.
Can’t change back?
Wait.
Ning Su tried again and found that he was still in dragon form.
Tang Erbao and Xuangui also noticed something was wrong and asked quietly, "...you can't change back, right?"
Half an hour later, Ning Su sat cross-legged on the bed with all four corners collapsed, leaving only the mattress.
God have mercy on me, no one knows what was wrong with this bed, to be treated like this by a dragon.
Noticing Ning Su's strange behavior, the black tortoise and the fox demon finally adopted a cautious attitude. After listening to Ning Su's narration of what happened before, it couldn't help but frowned.
"You mean, you found something else on the snake demon's body."
Ning Su didn't know what this thing was called, so he just used "schistosomiasis" instead, but after his description, the black turtle had already called out the name.
"It's a soul-eating insect."
The reason why Ning Su was able to detect the existence of this insect was because the snake demon's mood had been out of place. In addition, She Ji's description of her old rival was inconsistent with the current Jin.
Therefore, he started from this aspect.
"You are so lucky." Black Turtle glanced at Ning Su.
It turns out that as a notorious spiritual insect, the Soul-Eating Insect's effect is not as simple as affecting the host's emotions.
The longer the soul-eating insect stays with its host, the weaker the host's consciousness will be aware of its existence. Eventually, the insect will not only be able to influence the host's emotions, but can even devour the host's sanity.
This is also the origin of the name "Soul-Eating Insect".
Of course, the laws of nature apply, and since the Soul-Eating Insect has such incredible powers, it naturally also has a very fatal weakness.
In terms of individual strength, the Soul-Eating Insect, which has deadly destructive power against large demons, is itself extremely weak.
Not to mention a big monster like Ningsu Black Turtle, even a small monster in the crew could easily kill the insect.
The soul-eating insect is well aware of its own weaknesses, and during its long evolution, it has already developed its own set of behavioral rules.
That's hiding.
Once it finds a host, it will never appear again.
This is also the reason why many big monsters find it difficult to discover that they are being parasitized in the early stages.
"Then how could I find it so easily?" After listening to Black Turtle's introduction, Ning Su was a little curious. As far as he was concerned, the process of finding the Soul-Eating Insect was not difficult.
"So you're lucky."
After noticing the snake demon's abnormal behavior, Ning Su's method was not reckless, but even just right.
He locked the snake demon in his own barrier - it was not easy to seal Jin with a barrier, but in this small environment, it was easy to block the soul-eating insects.
In addition to this, there is Ning Su’s innate skills.
"You mean, it's because of that hypnotic song?"
Ning Su was a singer before his bloodline awakened. After his innate ability awakened, his music also had the ability to influence the minds of monsters.
No matter how cunning the soul-eating insect is, it is still just a small demon.
"It was also hypnotized?" Ning Su understood the black turtle's logic.
"To be precise, he sensed something was wrong and prepared to escape," Black Turtle introduced.
Of course, there is a deeper logic that the Black Turtle did not say directly - the Soul-Eating Insect is a notorious existence in the demon world, and its characteristic is that it also has requirements for the host's talent and bloodline.
The reason why the soul-eating insect flew out might not be that it had already taken a fancy to Ning Su and wanted to find a new host for itself.
But who would have known that, by some strange coincidence, he would end up losing his own life.
"This snake demon is such a waste." After explaining all this clearly, Tang Erbao couldn't help but say.
If the snake demon named Jin had not failed to notice the existence of the soul-eating insect and had not rushed to provoke him, Ning Su would not have become what he is now.
Hearing his friend's complaints, Ning Su knew that he was standing up for himself. While feeling warm, he couldn't help but defend Jin:
"It also knew it was wrong and helped me transform."
Other monsters transform into human form, but Ning Su transforms into a dragon.
"But you look much more handsome as a little dragon." Tang Erbao blurted out what was really in his mind.
"?" Ning Su asked slowly, "Then am I not handsome in human form?"
Tang Erbao glanced at Ning Su and said, "I am not a second dimension person."
They are two-dimensional, so what's wrong with not liking three-dimensional humans?
What's more, what Tang Erbao didn't say was that in the holographic game he developed, he specially selected a character for Ning Su, and the appearance used was the appearance of Ning Su's little dragon man.
The game development has not yet been completed, but the game can't wait to see players being beaten by a full-level boss who is a dragon man.
It should be wonderful to think about it.
Ning Su had no idea what bad ideas his friend had in mind. At this moment, he finally shifted his attention to himself.
"What should I do now?" he asked quietly.
Because he couldn't change back into human form, he was in a bad mood, and even his golden dragon scales dimmed.
"Ahem." The black tortoise couldn't help but touched the dragon first, and then used his magic power to explore the condition inside Ning Su's body.
"Why is there so much dragon energy?"
In order to help Ning Su transform into his original form, Jin injected the dragon energy that he had cultivated for a thousand years into Ning Su's body under the pretext of asking for advice.
The good news is that Ning Su did successfully transform with the help of this power that did not belong to him; the bad news is that before absorbing the external power, he might not be able to change back.
After reaching this conclusion, the three demons in the room fell silent.
"What should I do?" Ning Su asked in a heavy tone, "I still have a scene to shoot."
He did not forget that his work task was not yet completed - if it weren't for this mistake, the crew would probably have finished filming in another day or two.
"How about you use some sleight of hand or some magic?" Tang Erbao suggested.
"This won't work." He tried this method, but Ning Su's performance still didn't meet Director Gu's expectations.
"Family members, we still have to stick to science." Behind the monitor, Director Gu was dazzled by the flashing little golden dragon.
What he didn't say was that now whenever he saw Ning Su, he couldn't take his eyes off him, and there were many people in the crew who had the same symptoms as him.
What's more, after discovering that Ning Su used sleight of hand and illusion to become a human, they will feel a heartfelt disappointment.
And this disappointment will suddenly disappear after seeing the dragon's true form.
"I don't dare to think about the days after the filming." Privately, Director Gu and the screenwriter looked at each other in silence, crying loudly.
After trying a series of methods, it became a foregone conclusion that Ning Su would miss the last two days of filming.
Fortunately, Director Gu did not take this matter to heart - due to the previous rush to finish the work, the Grand Canyon scenes had been almost finished, and the workload for the remaining two days was mostly to shoot some more scenes.
What's more, he now has a lot of unexpected materials.
Whether it is the little golden dragon in recent days or the fighting scenes between Ning Su and Jin filmed before, they can all be used in the movie.
With these materials, he also had new ideas for the later editing of the film.
"I promise not to cut it randomly!" Director Gu raised his hand and swore as he looked at Ning Su's round longan.
Although he didn't want to admit it, facing Ning Su's true form, he really couldn't refuse any request from the other party.
After getting the guarantee, Ning Su finally finished his work with peace of mind. With the work finished, there was only one last question left.
"...Are you really not leaving?"
Looking at Jin who was following him from a distance, Ning Su felt a little headache.
Ever since the fight that day when he turned back into his original form, Jin began to follow him silently, like a dedicated bodyguard.
"I will guard the Dragon Lord until you are able to transform into a human form."
Unlike She Ji who was willing to cooperate with Ning Su in order to get rid of her enemy and give birth to a child smoothly, Jin's staying was more like a surrender.
In ancient times, the Dragon King was the sovereign, and he was served by the water creatures. The position that Jin found for himself was also that of a retainer.
"But I don't need subordinates."
This was no longer ancient times, and Ning Su had no intention of becoming a monarch. His only nominal "subordinate" was Xiao Du, and in the final analysis, they were still colleagues.
"But you saved my life, so I have to stay with you."
After getting rid of the soul-eating insects, Jin's emotions stabilized and he looked much more mature, but the stubborn side of his character showed up.
"You've already helped me." Ning Su reminded.
"That doesn't count." Jin stood straight and shook his head.
“You’ve given me more than I’ve ever given back.”
In Ning Su's opinion, it was Jin who used the dragon energy that he had accumulated for a long time to transform for him, but in Jin's opinion, he gained the benefit by accident.
After the dragon energy was exhausted, it instead obtained the purer true dragon energy from Ning Su.
With this help, its long-lasting bottleneck finally showed signs of breaking through - and, as its bloodline became closer and closer to that of a dragon, its habits became more and more similar to those of the dragon clan.
Nowadays, the most obvious manifestation is to take care of the cubs.
It will never stay away from its cubs who are in a precarious situation.
"...Okay." Realizing that he really couldn't drive Jin away, Ning Su had no choice but to let the other party follow him.
"However, you need to cooperate with the M City Monster Bureau's investigation."
The case happened in City M, and because of the territorial principle, the investigation was also under the jurisdiction of the City M Monster Bureau. As the monster involved, Jin naturally needed to cooperate with the investigation.
In addition, because of Jin, the tiger demon lost control. Even though the soul-eating insects were also involved, Jin could not escape blame.
"According to the rules of the Monster Bureau, as a punishment, after this is over, you will be trapped in this section of the river in the Grand Canyon for two hundred years. During this time, you will guide the boats, control the clouds and rain, rescue drowning people, and accumulate good deeds. Are you willing?"
Jin nodded: "I will obey the order of Lord Long."
Looking at the snake demon with its head down in front of him, Ning Su sighed: "Where was your previous home? Let's go take a look later."
If possible, he wanted to find a new place for Jin to live.
Realizing the concern in Ning Su's words, Jin was stunned for a moment and raised his head helplessly.
Ning Su stretched out his hand... oh no, his tail, and patted Jin's shoulder: "Home is where your heart is."
Jin was silent for a moment, suppressing his impulse, before swallowing his true feelings.
The place where it feels most at ease is by the side of the Dragon Lord.
With Jin's cooperation, the work of the M City Monster Bureau progressed smoothly. Although the source of the soul-eating insects was not found, several monster dens that caused trouble were dealt with.
“There are so many people with ulterior motives that they are simply too numerous to count.” The director couldn’t help but sigh when reporting to him.
These demons with ulterior motives hid in the dark and it was difficult to deal with them one wave after another.
In contrast, Ning Su was calm and composed: "This is our job."
There are destroyers of order in this world, and of course there are guardians of order.
They are the latter.
After the filming of the movie was completed, Ning Su did not return to City A immediately, but stayed near the Grand Canyon - if he did not get rid of the extra power in his body, it would be inconvenient for him to do anything.
The leader of the Demon Bureau also learned about the situation and approved the leave.
"You haven't had a break from filming. Why don't you use all the vacation time you've saved up?"
Just when Ning Su, Jin and two good friends were enjoying a leisurely vacation in the Grand Canyon Scenic Area, the video of the Dragon God Festival in the Grand Canyon finally got out.
Unlike the discussion about new technologies such as VR in this video on the Chinese Internet, on the Internet of another country, people have a different attitude towards the dragon-like creature in the video.
“This is a real dragon.”
"There really are dragons in China!"
Different from the Chinese people's simple love for dragons, this country completely worships dragons.
What's more, unlike China's strict separation between human society and monster society, in this country, the existence of monsters is an unspoken secret.
When seeing the scenes in the video, many people simply knelt down and worshiped.
"There is a dragon in China, and we want to see the dragon--" Public opinion reached the head of state and gathered into an irresistible torrent.
Not long after, China, which was facing a situation where a certain international proposal lacked support from member states, suddenly received an olive branch from a certain country.
"We will support all your international claims, but please let us see the dragon."
After that, the other party sent a video that was also widely circulated on the Chinese Internet.
Chinese official: “?”
I suspect you are looking for trouble, but I have no evidence.
