Little Cold Star (13)
Shi Jianxia never expected that the first 3S-level mimic he would have would be that beggar from 朏朏 who was good for nothing except eating, drinking, playing and acting like a spoiled child.
The change in her expression was so obvious that both No. 9 and Gongye Jiwang subconsciously turned their gaze to the unfolded pages of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, only to find that they were blank and could not see anything.
This is the mimicry's self-protection mechanism. No one except the owner or those with the owner's permission can see the content displayed on the pages.
Number Nine knew a little about the details of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he was always straightforward with Shi Jianxia, so he asked directly, "What's wrong?"
Before Shi Jianxia could answer, the lifelike illustrations on the page lit up with a golden light. The light was so dazzling that No. 9 and Gongye Jiwang subconsciously closed their eyes, but it had no effect on Shi Jianxia.
Shi Jianxia stared intently at the illustration that seemed to be moving, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Suddenly, layers of light golden energy ripples appeared in the air.
With a snap, a round, fluffy white ball rolled out from the energy ripples, bouncing rhythmically in the air a few times, like a ball of soft jelly.
Shi Jianxia subconsciously caught it, and when he looked closely, he found that the round furry ball was exactly that little bastard Xixi. Looking at its size, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, 朏朏 had become as fat as a ball, shaped exactly like a pufferfish. Its neck was nowhere to be seen, and its short limbs were full of flesh. It had become a real little fat boy.
As she wished, she rolled into Shi Jianxia's arms. She lay in her arms and burped cutely. The shiny hair all over her body trembled, and it was obvious that she was too full.
Number Nine came over, pinched its plump little legs, and asked curiously, "I haven't seen you for half a month. What did you feed this little guy? Why is he so round?"
If you throw it like a ball on the ground and tap it a few times, it might bounce back and forth.
朏朏 usually doesn't like to pay attention to him, but now it is so fat that it can hardly roll around, so it can only let him "ravage" it.
That little thing looks so lazy and lacks energy.
Shi Jianxia looked strange, "How would I know what it ate?"
Although she already had some guesses in her mind, she did not make any arbitrary judgment. Instead, she immediately looked through 朏朏's memory to see what it had done specifically.
When the battle was at its most intense, Bifang flew out of the battlefield with Xixi, braving the strong wind and snow, and headed straight for the place where the butterfly-faced man appeared.
A black crack that was large enough for three people to pass through side by side was floating in the air. The giant parasite was crawling and shivering under the crack, and it didn't notice the two small ones approaching in the wind and snow.
A small white ball-like creature jumped up from Bifang's body, grew up like the wind, and soon became a huge monster as big as a hill.
The pair of black eyes were sparkling, and the fleshy front paws were clenched tightly, as if to cheer itself up.
Then, the large-sized朏朏, which almost merged into the wind and snow, aimed at the dangerous space crack, took a big bite, and bit it like eating some kind of fragrant and crispy pancake. He chewed it hard twice and swallowed it into his stomach with a gulp.
The enormous energy that was enough to distort the space was transferred into its stomach. The cub was panting and gasping, and the whole cub was rounding up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Bifang was so scared that it flew around it, fearing that it would be stuffed to death by accident.
朏朏 was pulled and impacted by the energy of the black crack, and her chubby little face turned red. Fortunately, the shadow of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appeared, and mysterious ancient patterns flew out.
Those golden textures formed a golden circle, surging in large and small like breathing, gradually suppressing the terrifying power that was about to expand.
When 朏朏's condition stabilized, Bifang flew over and pecked hard at the small tuft of white hair on its forehead, as if blaming it for its audacity.
Under normal circumstances, Xixi would have to pluck the colorful feathers from its body, but right now it was so full that it had difficulty even moving, let alone jumping up and down and playing with Bifang.
The patterned golden circle slowly shrank, and 朏朏 returned to its original size, but its shape was very much like a blown-up balloon, which could roll for a long time if poked.
It was at this moment that the butterfly-faced man suddenly went crazy and screamed, and finally disappeared like ashes.
After reading this memory of Xixi, Shi Jianxia picked up the precious cub in his arms, who was struggling to move, and kissed it hard on the forehead several times, praising it generously: "Good boy! You are the best!"
朏朏 was still feeling uncomfortable, and her eyes lit up almost glowing when she heard this. She wanted to get closer and rub Jianxia's neck hard, but she couldn't move. She had to lift her big furry tail and swing it up and down to show her excitement at the moment.
Its cute and pitiful appearance was so touching that Shi Jianxia gently touched its back and sent it back to "Shan Hai Jing" to have a good rest.
Gongye Jiwang watched their interaction and had already guessed the reason why the butterfly-faced man disappeared.
The strength of the Zerg is closely related to the Vortex. Zerg that emerge from high-level Vortexes naturally have greater potential for upgrading. A researcher in the Federation once proposed a hypothesis:
The vortex is both the channel for the Zerg to cross the universe and the source of their power. If the vortex can be destroyed, the Zerg power attached to the vortex will be greatly weakened or even die directly.
This is a conjecture that cannot be verified because the Federation has not yet found a way to destroy the insect vortex.
The butterfly-faced man with powerful self-healing ability suddenly disappeared, and came back with a full belly. Considering that Shi Jianxia's mimicry can devour insect vortexes, it is not difficult to guess that the two are related.
Gongye Jiwang glanced at Number Nine, who was standing there with his arms folded, lost in thought. He didn't express his suspicions out loud, but said, "Shall we leave here first?"
Shi Jianxia had already recovered from his excitement and nodded, "Okay."
The butterfly-faced man disappeared, but those giant parasites were still there. Without the butterfly-faced man's power to suppress them, they were all potential bombs and it was best not to provoke them, not to mention that the three of them now had basically no strength to fight again, so the most urgent thing was to leave here.
Regarding the black crack, Shi Jianxia also had some guesses. The thing that allowed Xixi to jump from B level to 3S level must be a worm vortex, and it must be at least a 3S level worm vortex.
The previous aircraft belonged to Gongye Jiwang. It was damaged and crashed due to the energy interference caused by the opening of the insect vortex. Shi Jianxia was about to take out the aircraft from the space bracelet when he suddenly heard a strong gust of wind.
It's the sound of a whip being cracked!
Number Nine, who was originally standing on her left, attacked without warning, swung the silver whip, turned it into a sword, and accurately hit Gongye Jiwang's neck.
Even someone as strong as Gongye Jiwang failed to avoid the edge of his sword. The blade scraped against his throat, leaving a thin wound. Blood immediately oozed out and quickly covered with frost in this extremely cold weather.
Shi Jianxia immediately turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
Number Nine's hood had long been blown off by the wind, and the silver mask reflected the snowflakes, casting a cold light. He raised his lips slightly and sneered, "Number Seven, did you go to school and become stupid? He knows I'm from Bana, and you and I know each other. Wouldn't he doubt your identity?"
Maybe it was just a suspicion at first, but the word "Number Seven" he undoubtedly said clearly confirmed her identity as a senior member of the Higanbana, leaving her no way out or excuse.
Shi Jianxia's expression changed slightly.
Number Nine didn't know that she had betrayed Higanbana and even reached a cooperative relationship with Ji Yang. In his opinion, if Gongye Jiwang wanted to maintain her undercover identity, she must not leave here alive.
Similarly, if she wants to keep Gongye Jiwang, she will expose the fact that she betrayed Higanbana, and Number Nine cannot stay.
She frowned and looked at Gongye Jiwang with complicated eyes, but she saw that he looked calm, without any panic that his life was threatened.
The two looked at each other silently. Shi Jianxia suddenly noticed that Gongye Jiwang's face was too pale, his lips were bloodless, and he exuded weakness and fatigue from the inside out.
He's reached his limit.
As soon as this thought arose, Gongye Jiwang's body fell backwards without warning.
Shi Jianxia's pupils dilated slightly, and she reflexively rushed over to catch him. The last trace of cool air that enveloped her disappeared, replaced by a bone-chilling cold.
Number Nine hadn't expected Gongye Jiwang to fall down so easily. His brows knitted together instantly. Seeing Xia rushing towards him, he couldn't help but sneer, "What? After just a few days together, you've developed feelings for each other? Can't you let go of—"
"Jiang Jiuhan." Shi Jianxia suddenly spoke and called No. 9's original name.
Number Nine was stunned, then listened to her ask, "Why are you loyal to the Doctor?"
Jiang Jiuhan is the grandson of Marshal Jiang Wenzhan, and has a brother named Jiang Yingdu who loves him so much. From the gossips that Yuan Huai said, it can be seen that he is quite favored in the family. Why would he be willing to become the butcher knife in the hands of the doctor?
Number Nine stared at her with his eyes lowered. Because he was wearing a mask, his expression was completely hidden at the moment, and only the extremely tight lip line could be seen.
He did not answer Shi Jianxia's question, but stiffly raised the sword whip in his hand and pressed it against her neck at a fist's distance.
He used to be laughed at by Shi Jianxia for being stupid, but now he is extremely sharp.
"You're going to betray the Doctor?"
He asked the question rhetorically, but his tone was unusually certain. It didn't sound like he wanted to get an answer from this sentence, but rather like he was telling himself the fact.
Shi Jianxia supported the unconscious Gongye Jiwang, met his gaze, and asked again, "Why did you come to save me alone?"
Half an hour has passed since No. 9 appeared. If there was someone else with him, he should have appeared by now.
silence.
There was a long silence.
Shi Jianxia asked again: "How did you know I was here?"
The Jade Card cannot be used, and the only people who know that she is on Xiaohan Star are imposters.
Number Nine looked away and said coldly, "Don't change the subject."
It was clearly him who avoided the question.
Shi Jianxia looked down at the sword whip that was almost on the edge of her shoulder and said "oh" neither lightly nor heavily.
She even tried to dodge to the side, but the sword didn't follow her at all, so she helped Gongye Jiwang up and was about to jump onto the aircraft at lightning speed and escape.
With a thud, Number Nine fell to the ground in the snow along with his sword.
Shi Jianxia paused in his escape, looked at the one he was supporting, and then looked at the one who fell.
Whoever is left behind will freeze to death here.
Three minutes later, Shi Jianxia placed Gongye Jiwang and Number Nine side by side on the aircraft. He breathed heavily with exhaustion and said unhappily, "What the hell did you eat to grow up? Why are you so heavy?"
As she spoke, she took out the special 'rose gold bracelet' used by the Zerg Investigation Bureau to suppress the mimicry of ability users from her space bracelet, gave each person a pair, and considerately handcuffed them.
After the handcuffs were done, she stood on the aircraft with her hands on her hips, looking down at the two unconscious people, and muttered, "If they wake up and start a fight, I'll kick each of them."
Under the rustling snow, the long and curled eyelashes trembled in unison.
