Chapter 296 Three Generation Levels, Questions about the Ghost Bell (asking for monthly votes)
Yagubaru was actually very unsure about when Caesar would come out of his stomach. If Caesar was gone forever, he would only be able to weep and wail, looking up to the sky and howling:
"It's delicious, my friend."
And the facts are moving closer to this possibility. Half a day has passed, and there is still no sign of Xizel flying out on the Phoenix. Yagubaru's guess is gradually being confirmed.
"No! Shark Shark doesn't want to eat people!" The 300-meter-long giant shark was trembling with fear, and his heart was horrified, so much so that he began to talk nonsense, "Friends are not delicious, rippers are delicious... Friends are not delicious, rippers are delicious."
If it really ate humans, then the nature of its existence would change. It has been living in the sea for more than a thousand years, and this Eternal Abyss Shark has never eaten humans. Even when it surfaced and ran into a group of fishermen, it just poked its head out and curiously observed the fishing boat rising and falling on the sea.
At that time, looking at the brightly lit fishing boats going away, the fishermen's loud singing became lower and lower, and the last trace of light in the night disappeared on the horizon. The shark thought to himself that humans were really nice, so lively and cheerful, unlike it, which had a hard time finding a fellow species.
In order to avoid the trouble of eating his friend raw, Yagubaru simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
It thought that if it ate César while it was asleep, it would just pretend nothing happened when it woke up. After all, it was a shark, which could barely be considered a type of fish, and fish only had a memory of seven seconds. When the sun rose, it should forget what happened yesterday.
Looking from a distance, the 300-meter giant shark looked like a dark blue floating fortress, hanging in the air motionless, but the tides surrounding its surface rose and fell.
Its mouth was still wide open, leaving an escape route for César.
If Xizel really disappeared without a trace, Yagubaru actually had a backup plan. It would take a month to completely digest the legendary whale, which meant that the box world in his body could last at least ten days.
During these ten days, as long as César stays quietly in the belly of the legendary whale, he will not be in any major danger for the time being.
Yagubaru can find Xia Pingzhou and ask him to release the stone statue of the queen and look for Xizel in his stomach to see if he can get him out.
Even if the Queen's statue cannot be salvaged, then we can ask the other members of the brigade for help, since the Ripper owes them a favor anyway; if we can lure the Ripper into the stomach and let Shark swallow him in one gulp, that would be a good option, but in this case, Xia Pingzhou would automatically explode on the spot on September 1st.
Fortunately, the situation was not that complicated. About five minutes later, a sudden bird-like scream sounded from its body, and then a burst of fire swirled out of its throat.
The blazing flames faded away, and César lowered his arm that was covering his forehead, looking up at the giant shark with its back to the sun.
"Yagubaru, change back to your original form!" he shouted, "It will be bad if someone finds out!"
"oh oh."
Yagubaru was stunned. In fact, in this uninhabited sea area, there might not be any human figures within a few kilometers. The only possibility of being exposed was being discovered by satellite surveillance.
With a body length of more than 300 meters, it floats in the air. In the satellite monitoring field of view, it looks like a dark cloud suddenly appears in the clear sky, which is extremely abrupt.
It shrank its body to two meters in size, then flew forward like a rocket and came to the side of the phoenix.
The air pressure in the sea area has risen a lot, the sea water no longer rolls for no reason, and the atmosphere has stopped roaring.
"What's going on?" Yagubaru stopped and looked at Xizel curiously.
Xizel's hair and clothes were soaked through, and the fire from the Phoenix warmed his body. He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He had just escaped death, and the feeling of being bathed in the sun made him unable to recover for a long time.
He recalled the scene he saw in Yagubaru's stomach. At that time, he was riding on the phoenix and flying down Yagubaru's throat. He saw a bottomless abyss as big as the universe.
From small objects like seaweed, guns, Coke cans, and leftover cake to large objects like trucks and containers, everything is floating in the abyss, slowly corroding away in the void.
The reason why the truck appeared was that when César and Yagubaru were on their way to the gang to look for business that day, they encountered a gang fight.
The other party drove a large truck and hit them, but opened the door at the last second and fled. In desperation, Yagubaru had to swallow the entire truck into his stomach. Everyone present was stunned, and the people on the other side screamed and fled.
Afterwards, Xizel laughed dryly, pointed at Yagubaru and claimed that this was his piece of strange news - "Jaws", and told everyone not to panic. Then he called out the strange news album.
Yagubaru cooperated very well and shrunk his body. He was put into the atlas by Xizel, and the atlas was closed with a "snap". He was almost crushed into pieces. The gang members looked at this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
César turned his eyes away from the truck. At this moment, in this bottomless abyss, the most eye-catching thing was of course the legendary whale that was 200 meters long.
The whale still had vital signs, but its eyes looked as if it were dead, and its body was bobbing up and down in the cosmic environment, as if it had lost gravity.
Xizel was shocked at that time. He rode the phoenix and dived into the mouth of the legendary whale. After that, he saw the small garden falling apart.
The afterglow enveloped the entire world, painting the sea a dangerous and dazzling red. The island had been moved, the sea was empty, and the tide was rising.
The boundless flood submerged this monotonous world. The bright red fish swam in the air, and driven by the instinct to survive, they rammed the whale's belly frantically, making a banging sound. The movement from all directions gathered together, as if playing a symphony of doomsday.
Finally, with the help of the phoenix, Cesare successfully achieved his goal.
After a long time, Xizel suddenly opened his eyes, curled his lips at Yagubaru, and raised his right hand.
"It worked," he said.
Yagubaru turned his head and saw that Xizel was holding three cards on the index finger of his right hand, and the back of the cards were flashing orange light patterns.
It recognized these three pieces of strange stories. The first one had a huge tower that reached into the sky, the other had a huge beast covered in black mud, and the last had a huge cruise ship.
All three are fragments that have been used by the Royal Court team.
"The Tower of Babel, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Titanic?" Yagubaru murmured in surprise.
He originally thought that Caesar was just daydreaming, but he didn't expect that Caesar actually found the fragments left by the Royal Court team. It turned out that the saying "Fortune and fortune are sought in danger" is true.
"I haven't found the other generational fragments of the Royal Court team. I guess they have returned to nature, but I'm satisfied to find these three." Xizel snorted.
"Great, great, then Shark's breakfast is available!" Yagubaru was overjoyed and opened his mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth.
"What are you doing? I didn't find it for you to eat." Xizel was stunned and quickly picked up the fragments.
"Please feed me."
"No! I have to save it for the battle, at least until we kill the Light Devouring Bee Clan."
"Oh, okay then." Yagubaru pursed his lips, "Aren't you a B-rank Oddity User? How do you need so many fragments? You might as well give them to Shark to eat, and make efficient use of resources."
After this period of training, Xizel's level of curiosity has been upgraded from C to B.
A B-level curiosity user is allowed to be bound to a maximum of three generation-level and above curiosity fragments, which means that in addition to the 'Phoenix' and the 'Christmas Sleigh', César can be bound to at most one more generation-level one, which is obviously not enough to carry the three fragments of 'Tower of Babylon', 'Loch Ness Monster' and 'Titanic'.
"Keep it for now." Xizel summoned the odd story atlas and held it in his hand. "I think I can become an S-level odd story user like Li Qingping within a month. Then I can use all five generation-level fragments in my hand."
After saying that, he stored the three generation-level oddity fragments in his hand into the atlas.
"Okay." Yagubaru said with emotion, "I admit that your father is right. You are indeed a genius among billions of people."
No one knew whether it was due to the King's protection or his own extraordinary talent, but since he mastered the practice method, Xizel had broken through a realm every few days.
If he maintains this rate of progress, maybe he can really reach the pinnacle of the strange news messenger in a month, and neither the monster nor the genius will be worthy of him.
César's talent in The Curious Case is probably comparable to Mario's talent in The Exorcist, and he may be recruited into the Savior Society.
Yagubaru collected his messy thoughts, turned into a small shark the size of a palm, and landed on Xizel's shoulder.
"By the way, which fragment do you plan to bind first?" It patted his head with its fin.
"I haven't decided yet." Xizel shook his head. "It depends on the situation. I don't know which fragment will be more useful when facing those bees."
He thought for a moment and said, "But I will try my best. After we get rid of the light-eating bees, don't we still have to fight against the organization called the 'Savior Society' and rescue your friends?"
“To be honest, five generational fragments may not be enough to fight against the people of the Salvation Society,” said Yagubaru.
"Why? Could it be that they have some mythical stories?" Xizel was stunned.
"Yeah." Yagubaru nodded and said calmly, "Things like the Monkey King, the World Tree, and Zeus, don't they sound powerful? I heard that each of them can beat up six or seven Calamity-level ability users. Even I, Shark, tremble in fear in front of them."
"Really?" Xizel raised his eyebrows and murmured, "I thought it was a piece of strange news that only existed in legends. My father also said that he had never seen a mythical strange news."
"Are you scared?" Yagubaru said, "It's not too late to regret now."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Xizel shook his head, his eyes sparkling. "Besides... it's every wonder messenger's dream to see mythical wonders."
"What if he dies?" Yagubaru suddenly asked.
"Will you die with me?" Xizel said softly, "I won't be afraid if someone dies with me. If you, Yagubaru, weren't here, I would have died with Li Qingping, right? I thought about it and it doesn't seem that hard to accept."
Yagubaru was stunned.
After a moment's silence, it nodded, thinking that my Unit 03 could die with you, but my real body was not that simple. If it were that easy to die, the people from the Savior Society would have destroyed my body long ago.
"Let's go. I'm hungry too. Let's go back to Hokkaido and have a big meal. Miss Ripper transferred a large sum of money to me. I don't think we can spend it all in a short time."
"Shark wants to eat sashimi!"
"I'll buy you whatever you want to eat, just don't eat my oddities secretly."
At the same time, in another corner of the world, Gu Wenyu opened his eyes from his bed in the hotel room. He stretched out his restraints, flipped out his slightly vibrating phone, and glanced at the screen.
【Ghost Bell: How is Qiye? 】
[Black Pupa: Don't worry, your son is fine, and he might find a girlfriend. Uh... as the saying goes, if a girl chases a boy, it's easy to fall in love with him. Although they don't look like humans.]
[Black Pupa: By the way, I have cooperated with Mr. Qiye and have found the murderer who killed your wife. His nickname is "Father of Puppet", and his characteristic is that he wears an oversized windbreaker.]
[Ghost Bell: Father of Puppet? ]
[Black Pupa: That’s right. By the way, I have good news for you. This guy is a member of the Salvation Society.]
After sending the message, a prompt box suddenly popped up in front of Gu Wenyu.
[Completed the main mission 2 (Phase 3): Help the super criminal "Ghost Bell" find clues about the members of Rainbow Wing. ]
