Chapter 91 Chapter 91
Even after a thousand years, he is still being bullied by the dragon clan. One can imagine the psychological trauma that this great demon named "Zhi" has suffered.
And because the cubs arrived, the elders and the director were too embarrassed to resort to force and put down their fists awkwardly.
"Was it this kid Lucao who reported it?"
The elder asked nonchalantly, as if out of casual curiosity.
However, Ning Su heard a hint of blood and gore in the conversation, and said helplessly: "Your excuse is too poor."
If it were him, even if he said he was going out on business to collect folk songs, he would not say it was an appointment with friends.
Friends and the like are so easy to be exposed.
In order to give an example to the elders, Ning Su casually told them his own experience of perfunctorily dealing with parents, but he did not expect that when he raised his head, he saw the director looking at him dimly.
“You are very experienced.”
You must have lied to your parents many times before, right?
Although Ning Su didn't understand why his leader looked at him like that, he still felt a chill in his heart when he met his leader's gaze, and he quickly explained:
"I learned it by watching other people's examples."
As for himself, he was definitely a good student who integrated knowledge and practice and did not lie.
The confrontation on the topic of "lying" lasted only a moment. When he came to his senses and was about to clean up the mess for the two elders and reason with the big demon, he saw that the other party fainted.
Ning Su: “?”
It's bad. If something goes wrong with the monster, even if they can find an excuse, the opponent's friends probably won't let it go.
In the end, there will probably be a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, not only Ning Su, but also the director and the elders' expressions changed - they just wanted to vent their anger and had no intention of causing trouble for the cubs.
Fortunately, the director stepped forward, took a look at the big monster, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It is a golden cicada monster, and it seems to be emerging from its shell now."
The so-called metamorphosis refers to the stage in which the cicada evolves from the nymph stage to the adult stage.
During the metamorphosis process, the cicada in the nymph state will form a "pseudo-pupa" state. After waiting for a certain period of time, the cicada will break out of the cocoon and enter the adult stage. At the same time, it will grow wings and evolve the ability to fly.
The Golden Cicada Monster is a great monster, so naturally it will not evolve only once like an ordinary Golden Cicada. On the contrary, multiple evolutions are the only way for the Golden Cicada Monster to prolong its life and increase its monster power.
While Ning Su and others were talking, a thin, transparent cocoon appeared near the golden cicada monster.
Judging from the other party's situation, it may take quite some time for him to come out.
"Wait."
Big monsters are just like animals. Whenever they break through, it is also the most vulnerable time.
Considering that the other party's abnormal condition is closely related to themselves, Ning Su and others have to take responsibility for the other party's safety.
Who knew that this wait would last until the third day.
During this time, the Demon Bureau had some matters to deal with, so the director went back to work first, leaving Ning Su and the clan elders behind.
Ning Su originally wanted to persuade the elder to go back and rest, but the other party said he was unwilling to leave him alone no matter what.
After two or three days' effort, Zhi turned into a large, white, airtight cicada pupa. Apparently, when he broke out of the cocoon, his demonic power increased.
This made Ning Su a little envious.
Previously, due to some adventures, he finally turned into his original form and became a cub. But according to the lifespan of dragons, it would take a long time for him to become an adult dragon.
How many more years will he remain a cub?
Faced with Ning Su's question, the elder was first shocked, and then exclaimed.
"How could you think that?!"
How could a cub not want to be a cub? The cub is the treasure of the dragon clan!
Ning Su was too embarrassed to say that he didn't want to be bullied, so he made an excuse: "I want to become more powerful."
The elders of the clan could accept this reason.
After all, every cub has a time when they want to grow up and become stronger.
So, the elder looked at Ning Su lovingly and introduced: "When a dragon reaches adulthood, it is not just about getting by."
For the dragon race, there are many ways to grow and evolve - accumulating demonic power over time is the safest and most stable one, but there have been exceptions over the years.
For example, there was once a dragon king who entered a secret realm, discovered natural treasures, and inadvertently entered adulthood early.
“But even so, it had to be a cub long enough before it was allowed to become an adult.” The elder said dimly.
Apparently, to the dragon race, "cub" is a situation, not a matter of strength or weakness.
Whether you are a cub or not depends on whether your elders think you are a cub.
Moreover, according to the elders of the tribe, apart from the few dragon kings he knew, it was the only cub in the past thousands of years.
"You still have a long time to be a cub!"
Ning Su: “…”
The small bubble of hope in my heart was ruthlessly burst.
At the same time, Ning Su finally had an intuitive understanding of his own scarcity.
The metamorphosis process of the golden cicada monster lasted for a total of five days. It ended on the fifth day when it broke out of the cocoon and sat on the ground in a daze.
If I remember correctly, the last time it metamorphosed was a thousand years ago.
Although it has been dormant for a long time, what it didn't tell its friends is that its life is almost over.
For the golden cicada monster, if it cannot transform into a fairy, it will not be able to prolong its life.
And each time they enter the metamorphosis state is not under their own control.
When it woke up this time, it had already made plans to say goodbye to its friends and deal with its funeral, but unexpectedly, it was able to extend its life by accident.
This made it think of some past events.
If I remember correctly, when it was bullied by those evil dragons, that was also the time when it had the highest frequency of emerging from the womb.
At that time, it only thought that it was angry about the humiliation and its potential was stimulated, but considering this accident, it seems that it is not just what it thought.
Are those evil dragons actually helping me enter the state of metamorphosis?
As soon as this thought came into Jin Chan's mind, he came back to his senses in an instant, and was startled: What is it doing? It is actually trying to whitewash those evil dragons?
It can only evolve when being beaten. Is it some kind of mean monster?
Zhi prepared himself mentally, put aside all distracting thoughts, and opened his eyes. The next second, he was stunned——
I don't know when its dirty and messy doghouse was cleaned so clean.
In addition, there are many more human furniture.
"Yes, just put it here. Thank you, Master." Outside the house, Ning Su was talking to the human workers who came to install it.
"You chose a great location for this house." The worker looked around and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Of course, this is just a courtesy from the workers. The river next to this house is a stinky river. If it weren't for the government's pollution control in the past two years, I'm afraid no one would be willing to come here.
After a while, Ning Su came in and glanced at Zhi: "Senior, you are awake."
Zhi was annoyed: "You little cub, you are so rude."
This is its home, why are you touching it without its permission?
Ning Su ignored it and asked, "I ordered hot pot takeout, do you want to eat it?"
Touching his shriveled stomach, Zhi paused and said, "...eat."
Zhi had no interest in food, so he just ate a few bites to replenish his energy. What attracted him was the robot vacuum cleaner on the ground.
Seeing only the intelligent robot cleaning back and forth and occasionally interacting with people, Zhi revealed a hint of sadness in his eyes.
That’s what humans are capable of.
As a great demon who is proficient in mechanical engineering, Zhi has always relied on his craftsmanship, which is unrivaled among all demons, as the foundation of his existence. Even if the dragon clan provokes him, he can stand up and resist.
However, when it woke up these two times, it found that times had changed.
Human technology is developing rapidly, and various strange and bizarre creations are constantly appearing. In comparison, it has fallen far behind.
Without the skills that come with this craft, what's the point of living?
It would be hard to say that it has become gloomy and sarcastic if it weren't for this reason.
"Are you curious about this?" Ning Su asked.
"It's okay." Zhi pretended not to hear the temptation in Ning Su's tone.
"Oh, I wanted to show you this." When Ning Su finished speaking, a lifelike puppet toy appeared in the room.
These are the things in the baby’s happy house that the dragon elders left for Ning Su.
The entire toy room on the second floor is filled with these vivid puppets that will invite Ning Su to play with them.
If you look closely, you will find that each puppet has a "weave" mark.
Ning Su didn't originally connect the two together. It was only when he was cleaning the house that he discovered that this big monster also had a tool shed that he realized it.
"Where do these come from?" As soon as he saw these puppets, Zhi suddenly held them in his arms as if he had seen some treasures.
This is indeed the case. These puppets are its masterpieces that it has worked so hard on. They were snatched away by the evil dragons as soon as they were made.
They say it is to leave it to their own cubs.
The dragon clan had not had any cubs for thousands of years, so Zhi naturally thought that the other party was lying and deliberately bullying it. From then on, it made up its mind to cut off the last bit of friendship between it and the other party.
But who would have known that a thousand years later, it would see its beloved puppet again.
Those evil dragons did not lie. They really regarded this thing as a treasure and left it to their cubs.
If I am not mistaken, the puppets that remain are not only engraved with runes to prevent dust and moisture, but also luxuriously added with spirit stones to allow the puppets to move freely.
Ning Su probably realized something and asked tentatively: "Did you do this?"
"I'll give them back to you."
A gentleman does not take away what others like. Although Ning Su also likes these puppets, if they are more important to the big demon, he can also give them up with reluctance.
After all, he still has to take care of the aftermath for his elders.
"You don't want it?" Faced with Ning Su's proposal, Zhi was not happy at all. Instead, he raised his head angrily.
“I spent decades making them!”
Each one of them is the result of hard work.
"No, no." Ning Su said quickly.
Zhi snorted, returned the puppet to Ning Su, and started eating in silence. After the hot pot was finished, he wiped his hands.
"That little demon in your bureau who asks questions all the time, let him come here sometime."
Zhi emphasized: "Because I'm in a good mood."
Ning Su didn't react at first, but when he understood the implication of Zhi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Thanks."
Ning Su's thanks this time were very sincere.
"No, what kind of logic is this? Why is it willing to cooperate after you beat it up?"
The Golden Cicada Demon was famous for being tough and difficult to deal with. Xuangui really couldn't understand how Ning Su had managed to defeat the opponent.
"Maybe because I'm cute?"
Compared to old monsters like the Black Turtle, Ning Su is still a cub, a rising little sun in the monster world.
Black Turtle: “?”
“You’ve changed.”
From the beginning, his good friend avoided the identity of the cub, but as time went by, he seemed to have become desensitized and actually accepted it.
Even now, I am still making jokes about this identity.
How could this not make the black turtle sigh to the sky?
After making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, Ning Su turned the topic back to the main topic: "Perhaps, it doesn't hate the dragon clan as much as it appears to be."
"Or else, there were some misunderstandings back then."
At that time, Zhi's eyes were red after watching Pinocchio. They were eating tomato hotpot, and Ning Su couldn't blame it on the fact that the soup base was too spicy.
After hearing this, the black tortoise sighed.
The next day, the demon from the Demon Bureau who was responsible for contacting all the big demons came, and with him came several other big demons.
Among a group of big monsters, the monster was trembling.
Is this kind of occasion what it should be?
Fortunately, the group of monsters had a reliable leader. Ning Su did not feel embarrassed among a group of unfamiliar monsters. He just shamelessly distributed flyers to everyone.
"What's this?"
Ning Su introduced: "In order to give back to the elders, the Monster Bureau has opened a free public class for everyone - in addition to the daily tutorials, there are also introductory courses such as computers, foreign languages, and mechanical operation."
"If you come to class, you will also receive the latest model of Apple mobile phone."
Fruit phone?
When the big monsters heard the first sentence, they sneered and were very disdainful in their hearts, but when they heard the second sentence, they hesitated.
Most of them also have mobile phones, but they rarely use them.
Even so, they have vaguely heard of Apple phones - can they just go and get one?
For a moment, these poor monsters were all moved.
Ning Su pretended not to notice the hesitation of these monsters, and continued to add with a smile: "We will also include accommodation and meals. We have booked a five-star hotel."
In order to pry open the mouths of these big monsters, the Monster Bureau spent a huge amount of money.
"Well, we'll talk about it when the time comes." One of the big monsters said calmly.
However, not refusing immediately already shows the other party's intentions.
As the saying goes, the hand that takes is short, and the mouth that eats is soft. Under Ning Su's preparation, the big monsters began to sort out their memories according to the outline provided by the compilation monster.
After the sorting was completed and they were compared together, many big monsters were stunned.
Their memories had also been touched - it was as if there was a force that obscured some of their impressions, so that when they recalled the past, they could only remember some trivial things about themselves and their friends.
The same phenomenon was also mentioned by the elders of the tribe.
Ning Su was mentally prepared for this, but he asked the big monsters to think about it again.
This time, the big demons did not shirk their responsibilities - they knew that at this point, their memories might be of vital importance.
"Humans and demons were always at war at that time."
"Fen, Fenjiao!" Zhi murmured the name unconsciously, "It was because of the instigation of Fenjiao."
Upon hearing this, all the big monsters present were panicked.
"What is the Burning Religion?"
Saying this word seemed to have opened some kind of restriction, and many memories came flooding back.
It turns out that the demon world a thousand years ago was not peaceful, nor was it harmonious. At that time, the Burning Sect was very powerful, disturbing the big and small demons.
“It’s an evil organization.”
In other words, a practitioner of evil ideas.
At that time, humans and demons could have lived in harmony, but the followers of the Burning Sect instigated and interfered, triggering the first war between humans and demons in history.
From then on, the opposing positions between humans and demons have never changed.
Relying on the fighting power of several dragons, the expansion of the Burning Cult was restricted and the situation was prevented from deteriorating.
At the same time, the little demons also live under the protection of the Dragon Kingdom.
Thinking of this, the big demons vaguely remembered the fear they felt when they were dominated by the Burning Cult, and they couldn't help but tremble.
"…Isn't this just pinching and hiding one's true self?" After listening to the big monsters' introductions, Ning Su found something similar in his own vocabulary.
The big demon who was originally trembling with fear: "?"
Why are you so calm?
Ning Su thought about it, and in order to let the big monsters understand the meaning of this word, he used Xiao Du’s small account to go on social media and let the big monsters watch a fan circle fight on the spot.
"..."A few fans with strong fighting power pulled and stepped on others, and reported and posted long pictures, which can be said to be the result of manipulating public opinion in the palm of their hands.
The other side was not to be outdone and launched a one-stop service of anti-black and comment control.
In just one hour, the two sides exchanged thousands of blows, and the square was in chaos.
The big demons watched in silence.
Wait, why do these words sound so familiar?
Faintly, they seemed to be able to see the shadow of the Burning Sect in these human debates.
However, a thousand years later, those remarks that once caused huge reactions are no longer anything new to people on the bustling Internet.
With the advancement of technology, a kind of ideological control no longer exists.
The big monsters looked at each other in silence, their hearts filled with grief.
How great it would have been if there had been such a fast Internet back then - humans and monsters wouldn't have come to the point of fighting because of one misunderstanding after another.
"Then what?"
Although from the descriptions of the great demons, this Burning Cult is extremely similar to the style of the current underground organizations, I am afraid they are inseparable.
But he also has no intention of exaggerating the importance of public opinion.
"then……"
"The climate was wrong in those decades." While the other big monsters were still muttering, a big monster said, and it took out its bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips record the data of the great demon named "Mu" planting spiritual plants in those days.
Although the data is now blurred, Mu is very confident in his professional skills: "In those years, it didn't rain for a whole year."
"Also, my cultivation hasn't improved in those years."
Mu took out another bamboo slip that recorded his demonic power. Ning Su took a look and found that the other party not only digitized the demonic power, but also quantified the amount of moonlight he absorbed each time.
I think if there was an Excel spreadsheet back then, the other party would have been happy to use it.
"Indeed, and this situation has continued for many years."
The big monsters present looked at each other in bewilderment. What were they doing back then?
Is it true that there are people who are in the middle of the situation but are completely unaware of what is happening?
“So, the struggle between humans and monsters back then was due to resource scarcity caused by environmental changes?” Ning Su used the extraordinary generalization ability he had developed through the civil service exam.
At this point, the great demons had to admit that compared to the jumping up and down of the Burning Sect, going to war because of the inability to make a living seemed more logical than simple indignation.
"So, how were these problems finally solved?"
At this point in time, the popular Burning Sect has died down; the spiritual energy problem has not caused too much damage, at least it is enough for now.
Moreover, after some great monsters mysteriously disappeared, the confrontation between humans and monsters disappeared. And because of the establishment of the Monster Bureau, the monster world also ushered in a new order.
But the question is, what about those big monsters?
What about those disappeared dragon kings?
The big demon and Ning Su looked at each other.
By now the symposium was going on, and all the monsters were exhausted. The look of the monster in charge of recording had gone from confusion, shock, to numbness.
"Let's end it today." Unable to get any more detailed information, Ning Su called a halt.
Ning Su went from being completely ignorant to having a partial understanding of what happened a thousand years ago. Although there is still a veil between him and the final truth, it is better than knowing nothing.
The hard work of searching for the big monster has paid off.
However, Ning Su's work was completed, but the Yao Bureau's work on history compilation was not yet completed.
History is a discipline that contains systems and methods, which cannot be determined through such oral presentation.
The details will probably require the employees of the Monster Bureau to spend a lot of time to fill in.
After some communication with the big monsters, the misunderstandings between the two sides were obviously cleared up. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was still curious about modern culture, Ning Su neatly made an agreement with the big monsters to hold an open class.
"Lord Ning, why do we still have to let them go to class?" After leaving Zhi's house, the weaving monster asked weakly.
Ning Su said: "We are the demon bureau."
If I'm not mistaken, these big monsters have never gone to the Monster Bureau to register and verify in the past, and naturally have never downloaded the Monster Bureau's APP.
For such backward monsters, the Monster Bureau has the responsibility and obligation to lead them onto the right path.
"Could you be less reserved?" asked the editing monster.
Ning Su: "I am jealous of their skills and want them to work in the Monster Bureau."
These great monsters have been able to survive until now in one piece, and they all have their own unique skills. Ning Su was very jealous.
Editing monster: “…”
You are worthy of being dedicated to pulling every monster into the monster bureau to work.
The compilation of history is still going on, but it is becoming more difficult to obtain more information from the big monster, which makes Ning Su feel a little depressed.
Ning Su sent a copy of the sorted information to the director of the general administration and the clan elders. After receiving the meeting minutes, the two demons were a little confused.
According to the goldfish demon's divination, these dragon ancestors should still be alive, which means they are still somewhere in this world?
"It may not be in this world." Ning Su pointed out.
After coming into contact with the sky dome, his view of space has been changed.
Although no one knows where the dragon ancestors went, it is obvious that the difficulties of that year were most likely resolved by their departure.
Having said that, if that’s the case, why did the Burning Sect lie dormant due to environmental changes back then, and why is it emerging again now?
This question once again caused the three of them to fall into deep thought.
After a moment, Ning Su suddenly reacted.
"It seems that there is someone who can explain our problems."
"?"
"Underground forces - or the Burning Cult."
According to the director’s previous introduction to underground forces, the Burning Cult has actually been active all the time.
No matter the slogan back then was "Revitalize the Demon World" or the current "Revitalize the Demon Country", they are all under the guise of other things to break the rules and create chaos.
But on the other hand, the other party’s heritage and history have never been broken.
Compared to the Demon Bureau, which can only get information from the few words of the great demon back then, the other party has more information and is more detailed.
"You mean?"
"I want to find Shengyang."
Finding the leader of the enemy forces, who was a very vigilant demon, was not easy under any circumstances. However, if he wanted to understand the current motives of the Burning Sect and seize the opportunity to wipe them out, he had to find a way.
Fortunately, we live in an information society, and Yaoju wins because it has an advanced technical team and a technical giant.
“If we find the other party’s IP, can we locate the other party?”
The next day, the technical boss was invited to Beijing.
"Sure." He nodded slightly.
"Then is it possible to eavesdrop on what the other person is saying through the cell phone?" Ning Su asked.
"...Lord Ning, this is against the law." He was a little embarrassed.
"We are monsters." Ning Su pointed out calmly.
The laws of their demon world have not yet been issued.
slight:"……"
Convinced by Ning Su's sophistry, he nodded slightly.
However, whether Shengyang goes online and how to identify him from thousands of netizens is another question.
"Let me try."
The next day, there were more spam posts on the forums where the little demons gathered.
"Details of the underground organization, house demons, I have inside information. "
"I'm so fed up with the Yao Bureau. Is there no reliable agency that can replace it?"
"I looked up some information from my elders. It seems that there was a fire religion in the past. Does anyone know what it is?"
After all, the post was about a sensitive topic, so not many people responded. But Ning Su was not in a hurry and just waited patiently.
Finally, on the third day, in a post discussing who was the most handsome among the great monsters, a reply appeared from a person named "Scorching Warm Sun".
"What kind of big monster is the big monster now? The ones back then were really cool."
Ning Su opened an account with a cute Q-version avatar and replied: "Which demon was the most powerful and domineering back then?"
Being in the northwest desert and being repeatedly ordered not to go out, Sheng Yang couldn't help but reply to the user whose avatar was a cute little rabbit.
"Have you ever heard of a great demon named Shengyang?"
"It's him!"
The moment the words were spoken, the IP was locked.
