Chapter 034 Chapter 34
"I send greetings to you all on behalf of my foolish colleague."
Under the moonlight, the man in black robe stood on the street lamp and bowed slightly. This street lamp had been in disrepair for a long time and had long lost its lighting function.
Mo Xuanji raised his head subconsciously, and only saw the scarlet color flashing under the hood.
The third black-robed man. Has the black-robed man’s nest been poked recently? They keep popping up one after another… Could it be that the black-robed man has some group purchase discount? Mo Xuanji couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
The man's hood moved slightly, and his scarlet eyes met Mo Xuanji's. At that moment, he felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. Although Zhu Changan didn't notice anything, he instinctively hid his little friend in his arms and blocked his sight with the cover of his coat.
Yang Qingyan looked solemn, and stretched out his hands to protect everyone behind him. "Who are you? You are hiding yourself, are you too ugly to be seen by others?"
The black-robed man sneered and did not respond. Instead, he turned his gaze to the two brothers from the Feather Tribe and said, "Congratulations to you. After all these years, a cub is finally born. This is cause for celebration."
"I thought that when the phoenix died, it took away all the luck of the Feather Clan." These words seemed to touch the sore spot of the Feather Clan, and the anger in the hearts of the two brothers instantly ignited.
"What the hell are you talking about? Our clan leader is recuperating in seclusion! Damn it Beiyuan, don't stop me." The hot-tempered one rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up to do it.
"Who are you?" A member of the Feather Clan named Beiyuan stopped his unlucky brother.
The man fell from a height, landing gently like a cat, and raised his hands: "Hey, don't be nervous, I'm just chatting with you. After all, I don't want to attack my fellow monsters~"
"Oh? You don't want to attack your fellow monsters? Then why did you kidnap the cubs and brainwash and control them? How many cubs have you harmed?" Yang Qingyan said coldly.
"This is really unfair to me. I didn't do the brainwashing." The black-robed man seemed very aggrieved: "Besides, it wasn't brainwashing. We just wanted the cubs to know some truth."
"Don't you think this world is too distorted? The demons are the overlords of this planet, and humans were just our playthings.
If it weren't for that catastrophe that caused great damage to our demon race, if it weren't for their smooth talk and lies... otherwise, with the limited ability of humans, how could they have taken away half of the control from us. "
"They even used despicable means to make the dead demons reincarnate as weak mortals, forcing us to join the united front and force us to protect humanity.
Has anyone asked for our opinions?" The man in black robe seemed to be immersed in his own emotions, and became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Forced? You are not very old, are you? If I am not mistaken, you have not personally experienced that catastrophe." Bei Yuan took a step forward and stared coldly at the black-robed man in front of him: "The reason why the demons wanted to unite with humans was to jointly resist the invasion from outside the world."
"The demon race has a long lifespan, but their cultivation and growth speed is extremely slow. Humans, on the other hand, have a short lifespan but can grow rapidly in just a few decades, making up for the lack of combat power during the demon race's growth process. It's clearly a mutually beneficial thing, but you've turned it into a one-sided exploitation."
“Hahahaha.” The man in black robe suddenly retracted his crazy attitude and returned to his nonchalant look at the beginning: “Ah, I really can’t argue with you. In this case, there is nothing more for us to say. Just have fun with my toys.”
He casually pulled out a crystal Rubik's Cube with black liquid flowing inside.
"It's a trick weapon!" Yang Qingyan's pupils shrank.
"Good eyesight." The man in black twisted the Rubik's Cube and threw it on the ground. Black liquid continued to flow out from the cracks, condensing into one strange creature after another. Most of them had human forms, and some even had clear faces with painful expressions.
"It's the missing people... You are simply... unforgivable!" Yang Qingyan's face was filled with anger for the first time. She folded her hands, and a magic weapon in the shape of a Luban lock appeared in her hands, emitting a green light as it spun. As she moved, a huge centipede crawled out of it. "Go!"
Compared to supernatural powers, Yang Qingyan is best at playing with snakes. In order not to scare people around her, she usually carries small things with no offensive power in her storage bag. Only highly offensive snakes like the one she is carrying now will be collected in her magic weapon.
The man in black robe laughed with an ambiguous tone: "Finally it's out."
Zhu Changan's eyes fell on the Rubik's Cube: "Liuxue, what is that? It can actually do something weird."
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a magical weapon. To be more precise, it's a magical weapon that has been infected and corrupted by strange energy." "Magic weapon... Is the one that Senior Sister Yang uses a magical weapon?" "Yes."
Strange creatures gradually surrounded them.
Mo Xuanji jumped out of Zhu Changan's arms. Although he couldn't turn back into human form, he was still able to protect himself.
The only problem is that he can't fly yet, so he can only be a walking chicken. Zhu Changan thought for a moment and came up with a very genius idea. He raised the white little chicken with both hands and put it on his head like a crown. Mo Xuanji subconsciously grabbed his hair.
"Ji?" Is this really okay?
"Hey, if I run with you, it won't affect my ability to use my fists, nor will it affect your ability to use your supernatural powers. Am I smart?"
"Smart." Shen Liuxue silently gave a thumbs up.
"grumble."
"Go!"
Compared to the three-man team that was fighting hard, Yang Qingyan had a harder time. It was clearly a righteous three-on-one fight, but the black-robed man seemed to have endless energy and was gaining the upper hand.
Yang Qingyan found it a bit strange. The black-robed man didn't have a strong fighting intention. Rather than fighting, he was more like... stalling for time.
"not good!"
The ground suddenly shook, and a huge black column of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the garbage dump not far away.
"The fruits that have been planted are ripe." The man in black robe laughed, and his demonic power suddenly erupted. A series of dazzling attacks made several people overwhelmed.
Yang Qingyan only felt a flash of light before her eyes and her hand became lighter. When her vision returned to normal, the figure of the man in black robe had disappeared.
"Oh no, my lock!"
"The guy went in the direction of the garbage dump."
"Chase them. We must not let the lock fall into their hands."
Inside the garbage dump.
Everything that needed to be packed up had been packed up, everything that needed to be tied up had been tied up, and the action team even found a bunch of weapons in a bungalow.
Looking at these things, everyone couldn't help but feel lucky: Fortunately, they were caught off guard at the time. If these guys had reacted and grabbed weapons, they would have been in trouble.
Although the mutants have thick skin and strong flesh, they are not completely immune to modern technology.
A human team member tilted his head and quietly poked his fellow demon: "Hey, who is that Ji Chen? It seems like you all are very surprised."
"Ji Chen." The demon colleague took a quick look and when he saw no one was paying attention, he spoke in a low voice, "Actually, this is not a secret. Ji Chen is quite inspiring. He is from the Nightmare Clan. He was born with a disability and has no ability to enter dreams, but he has thrived in the demon clan with the skills he has figured out.
Do you remember the dream formation you learned in your sophomore year? That was researched by him. Hiss, he hasn’t shown up for hundreds of years. We thought he had some enlightenment and went into seclusion, but we didn’t expect…”
"Ah? It's him. What a pity, such a great senior..."
On the side, the guy with a short hair who was in charge of kidnapping the cub was tied up with a pair of specially made rose gold handcuffs. It would have been fine if he had been handcuffed, but this guy couldn't think straight and had to use that strange energy to resist. In the end, he failed to resist and instead received the personal service of being tied up with a fairy rope.
He lowered his head as if immersed in his own world, indifferent to everything around him, and the expression on his face gradually became distorted.
"I have always felt that there is no fairness in this world. The so-called fairness is nothing more than an excuse for you privileged people." After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke.
“?”Brother, what’s wrong with you?
"Haha, you top students don't know, right? The students of Penglai Academy are divided into temporary students and regular students. I actually have supernatural powers, and I was invited to study at Penglai Academy. I went there happily, but in the end, just because I awakened late and had poor talent, they classified me as temporary!"
The man with the buzz cut had a face full of resentment: "Why? I also have a passion to serve the country, but you keep talking about equality, but you divide people into different levels according to their talents. How can this be fair? Do you know what a temporary trainee is? We only teach you how to control your abilities, and nothing else. Everyone looks down on me! You are discriminating!
After listening for a while, a psychic showed a speechless expression: "No, who despised you? Penglai Academy is essentially a university, a university! It mainly looks at your college entrance examination scores, and supernatural powers only allow you to have the qualifications to apply."
"Even if you are not a college entrance examination candidate this year and your supernatural powers awaken late, the school will still calculate based on your score in the college entrance examination that year. If your score is not high enough, you are not qualified to become a formal student. The school has opened a temporary student class out of humanitarianism to teach you how to control your own supernatural powers so that it will not affect your daily life."
"Being a temporary trainee doesn't mean you will die. As long as you study hard in this year and pass the exam, you can become a full-time trainee. Many of us got promoted that way."
The short-haired man was so angry that he skipped the topic and complained about something else, whether because he felt guilty or something else. The team member next to him was also not used to him and mercilessly tore off his fig leaf.
If he was just a loser, no one would look down on him. After all, everyone has something they are not good at.
But knowing that it is their own problem, they are unwilling to even make an effort, instead they complain about this and that, lamenting the injustice of the world, and making excuses for their own evil deeds with a clear conscience, doing things that harm society. Why should we sympathize with such people?
The fact that the action team members did not curse him in person was an act of extreme restraint.
"Don't bother with him, this guy's thinking logic is distorted." A teammate at the side advised.
The man with the short hair suddenly burst into laughter and bit the thing hidden in his mouth. Nan Ming, who was standing by, instinctively sensed something was wrong and tried to stop him, but he was still a step too late.
The crew-haired Qi Liao suddenly spurted out a black mist mixed with blood. A black beam of light shot up into the sky, and with a teeth-itching "crunching" sound, his body continued to twist and swell, and his skin color continued to darken. Finally, in front of everyone, he turned from a living human into a monster.
【Didi. Found something weird.】
"This……"
"All units on alert! Prepare for battle!"
Nan Ming grabbed Ji Chen and said, "You did it. What did you do to him?"
Ji Chen showed a sarcastic smile: "I didn't do anything. I just gave him a crystal. It's up to him to use it or not. You see, this is how human beings are. On the one hand, they consciously do evil, and on the other hand, they use high-sounding excuses to make up for their dirty side."
"Give up on them. God has promised that there will be no human beings in the new world."
Nan Ming wanted to beat him up several times but was stopped by his teammates: "Brother, you can't do that! There are rules from above that we can't abuse private punishment on life forms other than weird ones!"
"Hahahahahahaha...you guys are so hypocritical that I can't help but laugh."
Nan Ming could no longer bear it and punched the person beside him, swearing at him word by word: "You'd better behave yourself now."
