Chapter 20: Downtown
Chapter 20: Downtown
After hearing Yith say from the audience that it was time to
stop, Reinette put away her bow and arrow.
The four water clones around and the ground had turned into
silver snowflakes that gradually floated up and merged into a huge water ball,
which was then disappeared without a trace by Reinette's wave of her hand.
"How do you feel, Texas? Are you okay?" Exusiai
climbed onto the ring and put her arm around the shoulders of Texas, who had
just put away her sword.
Just when Texas thought that Exusiai was here to care about her,
she felt a little touched and then she heard it.
"What a terrible defeat, Texas~" Exusiai had a
sarcastic smile on her face.
Texas' face darkened. That's right. She actually thought that this
sankta came to care about her.
Texas shook her head and looked at Reinette who had jumped off
the ring and was patting the werewolf hunter on the head.
Texas admitted that she did not use her full strength, but the
opponent did not use her full strength either. In the thick fog, the opponent
had many opportunities to kill her, but it was a good thing for her colleague
to be stronger.
Texas sighed and pulled out a pack of pocky from her waist
bag, taking one out and putting it in her mouth to ease her emotions.
"Miss Reinette, please come with me. There are a few
small tests that require your cooperation." Yith walked over and
interrupted the interaction between Reinette and Red.
"Of course, no problem."
"This way, please."
In the observation room nearby, the emperor sat on the sofa,
looking through the glass, recalling the battle scene just now.
"It's a bit strange. She should have used power just now,
but it's completely different from those guys. Migration, growth, reproduction,
survival... None of them match up."
The emperor recalled the faint breath he had just felt.
"It doesn't seem like life, but more like the ocean that carries
everything. Is it the birth of a new life, or the will of the ocean
itself?"
*indescribable penguin scream*
Thinking of this, the corner of the emperor's mouth twitched: "
it shouldn't be. If that's the case, it's a bit scary."
After thinking for a while, the emperor picked up the phone on
the table and said, " Lin! Lin
kojui!! don't blame me for cheating you. This may be your last chance. I have
pulled a Wild feranmuth for you."
Longmen City Lord's Mansion——Office
Wei Yanwu was dealing with a mountain of official business on
his desk when the cell phone on his chest suddenly vibrated.
"Um..."
Wei Yanwu did not answer the phone immediately. Instead, he
looked around nervously. After confirming that someone was not there, he
carefully took out the phone from his pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Old Long, it's so hard to answer the phone, are
you avoiding your wife again? Do you dare to come out for a drink
tonight?"
"You damn penguin, your four girls have caused me so much
trouble, don't you know what's going on... Are you treating me? I'll come if
you treat me."
"I dare to treat you, but I'm afraid you don't have the
ability to come."
"If you dare to invite me, I will come."
"Okay, Wei, if you don't show up at the same place and
time as you said, don't blame me for laughing at you behind your back."
After the emperor hung up the phone, he sent another message
to someone. Compared to Wei Yanwu, who was strictly controlled by his wife,
that person had much more freedom in his actions.
As long as they didn't go back drunk, it wouldn't be a big
problem, and they were destined not to drink much tonight.
" Lin, Lin kojui, I have caught the opportunity for you and
invited a giant beast to you. Now it depends on whether the slums can
accommodate this Beast and whether they have the ability to seize this
opportunity."
The other side.
Reinette was casually looking at the tablet that Yith had just
handed her.
[Codename: Reinette/Tiamat]
[Gender: Female]
[Occupation: Medical/Sniper]
[Combat Experience: None]
[Birthplace: Yan Country]
[Birthday: Undisclosed]
[Race: Liberi]
[Height: 175cm]
[Infection status of mineral disease: According to medical
report, no infection]
Comprehensive medical examination report
[Physical strength: standard]
[Battlefield Maneuver: Normal]
[Physiological tolerance: Excellent]
[Tactical Planning: Normal]
[Battle Skills: Excellent]
[Originium Technique Adaptability: Excellent]
Clinical diagnosis analysis
The results of the angiography test showed that the operator's
internal organs had clear outlines, without any unknown abnormal shadows, and
no abnormalities were found in the detection of Originium particles in the
circulatory system. There were no signs of mineral disease infection, and at
this stage, he can be confirmed as not infected with mineral disease.
[Somatic cell and Originium fusion rate: 0%]
The testers found no signs of Originium infection.
[Blood Origin Stone Crystal Density: 0.39u/L]
This report was made by Reinette and Yith after being deleted and modified some
data. They both felt it was almost ready and printed it out afterwards. It was
definitely a case of bias.
All I can say is that this medical examination report not only
shows the name but also the gender. Apart from that, if there was anyone Reinette
could trust, she would not have looked at it so casually.
As for whether the real data can be revealed, Yith and Reinette
both know it very well. Let alone anything else, the fact that the
concentration of blood source stone is zero is something that absolutely cannot
be revealed.
The outgoing Angel came over to look at the data with Reinette.
"Oh, I can't tell that Reinette is the fragile Liberi~"
Facing the familiar Archangel, Reinette responded with a
smile: "After all, without a little power, you can't get by in this land,
not to mention that I have to practice medicine in the wilderness."
"Speaking of which, Doctor tiamat, I always feel like
I've heard this code name somewhere before."
"Maybe. Maybe I heard it in the wilderness. Where did I
hear it from? According to the emperor, I seem to be quite famous in the
wilderness now."
"Well...well...forget it, let's have a party tonight to
celebrate the new members joining us!" After thinking for a long time, she
couldn't figure out where she heard the name of tiamat. She decided to change her
mind and get everyone together to have another small party in the evening.
"The Exusiai has started again."
"It's better to say that after I knew there were new
members joining, I guessed that exusiai would want to do this."
Croissant thought for a moment and asked a soul-searching
question: "What are we going to eat tonight?"
For a moment, everyone fell silent. One of the three most
difficult problems in life is what to eat for dinner. Once this problem is
added with a team dinner, the difficulty will only double and become extremely
difficult.
"How about we go have a barbecue?" Croissant raised
his hand first?
Texas raised her hand and pointed at Sora who was hesitant to
speak: "Sora is going to a concert soon, so it's not a good time
now."
"That's true. I had forgotten about that." Croissant
patted his head.
"Eat dessert?" Exusiai was the second to raise his
hand.
Reinette joined the discussion: "Who eats dessert at
night? It's more like a midnight snack."
...
Evening, downtown.
I won't go into the details of what kind of discussion Reinette
had and how they decided what to eat for dinner.
In front of me is a hidden house in the lower city area. It
doesn't look good and the outer walls are even a bit dilapidated.
A black shadow crossed the street and flashed into the yard of
the house. After confirming that there was no one around, he jumped up, stepped
on the wall, flipped over, and entered the house through the second-floor
window.
"Hey, old Wei, I thought you couldn't come. It took so
long." As the black shadow just flipped into the house, a voice was heard
from inside.
The sound of a cane hitting the ground and an old voice rang
out from the other side of the room: "I thought you were waiting for
someone, but it turns out you were waiting for this old dragon."
"I knew it, you stupid penguin, that you had ulterior
motives and asked me to drink with you for no reason."
The lights in the house came on, and the bright incandescent
lamp illuminated the scene inside. A penguin was sitting on a chair next to the
table. On the other side, a mouse in a coat just stood up on the sofa. The hood
of the black robe of a man in a gray robe by the window was removed, revealing
a dragon face.
These two people are Wei Yanwu, the ruler of Longmen, and Rat
King Lin kojui, the mafia boss who rules the slums of Longmen. In this small
room, there are both white and black bosses, and even a penguin that is
actually a mixed color of black and white.
"But you are here yet, Wei Yanwu, old Lin, don't stand
there anymore." The emperor called Wei Yanwu at the window and the Rat
King beside him to come and sit down.
"To be honest, I want to leave." The Rat King
sighed, walked over, pulled out a stool and sat down.
"I don't have much time left, so hurry up and tell me
what you want to say." Wei Yanwu looked out the window and came over,
pulling out a stool and sitting down.
"Don't be in a hurry. Look at this bottle of wine. It's
30-year-old stuff. Wouldn't it be too bad to leave without drinking a single
glass?" The emperor pointed to a bottle of wine at hand.
The emperor picked up the bottle of wine, jumped off the
chair, walked to the two men, poured wine for them, and at the same time,
opened the tablet that was placed next to their chairs.
The two picked up the tablet. The content on the tablet was
very simple, just an introduction of a person, and that person was Reinette, or
rather, the introduction of Tiamat.
"Emperor, what do you mean by this?" The Rat King
put down the tablet: "Are you trying to say that you found and recruited a
good employee?"
Wei Yanwu looked at the information displayed on the tablet
and fell into deep thought.
The emperor took a look at Wei Yanwu who was lost in thought
and said, "Old Lin, you are old and your brain is not very sharp, don't
you think? Old Wei."
"...what you up to?"
"It's just to help Old lin win over the city. And Old wei,
the slums have always refused the entry of the Guard Bureau. This is also a
good opportunity. What do you think, Old lin?"
"...I want detailed information about this person. There
are too many things in the slums. You know that, Emperor."
The emperor waved his hand: "Are you talking about the
snake? Don't worry, she can't have any relationship with the snake. As for the
detailed information, Old wei, you can get it, Longmen can't."
"..." Wei Yanwu tapped the table with his fingers.
He understood what the emperor meant. If he was the person in charge of
Longmen, the emperor would not give him that information.
But if it is information that can only be obtained by another
identity, then for Longmen, just knowing this matter is enough.
The Rat King on the side also understood what the emperor
meant, but there are some things that cannot be said from the mouth of a
gangster boss.
"If that's the case, it's really unnecessary and it can't
possibly be related to the snake."
The Rat King on the side looked at the Emperor with a strange
expression: "You found a goddesses for my slums."
The emperor took a sip of wine and said, "She is a
doctor, and she will only be a doctor. Old lin, you are a poor man, but you
can't even hire a doctor, right? Also, Old wei, it's better not to be too
extreme in some things."
"I have never thought of going to extremes, but people
have their limits. This is the last time. Old lin, take good care of them. I
will arrange for Chen to meet her."
Wei Yanwu, who was originally full of dignity, looked up and
saw the clock on the wall. His expression suddenly changed and he stood up
quickly.
"I'll go back first. We'll have a chance to drink again
after this is over." Wei Yanwu quickly climbed out of the window with his
hood on.
"This henpecked man..." The Rat King shook his head,
but his tone was much more relaxed.
"Old lin, it's not over yet."
"I know, and I won't let anyone disrupt this medical
event."
"However, Emperor, not only did you find this opportunity,
but you also placed it under your shrine. Aren't you afraid that slum will
cause trouble to you or her?"
The emperor took the bottle and filled it up for himself, then
drank it in one gulp. "Looking for trouble? I'm never afraid of trouble,
and they can't necessarily find trouble for anyone."
"It's better to say that as a sea god, she is so peaceful
now, and it's good enough that she hasn't caused trouble to the whole world
yet, but she still let others to cause trouble to her."
The emperor turned his head and looked in one direction, which
was the direction of Iberia, the direction of the ocean.
"Speaking of which, with the abilities of those little
guys, they should have sensed this sea god a long time ago. I hope the Iberian
coastline can still hold up."
Iberia, coastline.
It was late at night, but the Iberian coastline was still
restless.
"Fire! Fire! Shoot them back!"
In the Iberian coastal defense command center, the great saint
Carmen stared at the map in front of him with his weathered eyes. There were
three dotted lines drawn on the coast. Those were the three defense lines that
Iberia had set up on the coast.
"Your Excellency the Saint..."
"I know that the attacks of these Sea creatures are
becoming more and more fierce. What happened?"
Carmen looked at the map in front of him. He didn't understand
why they would only appear on the coast at most, or why the Deep Sea Church
would actively attack the mainland by attracting the sea heirs to attack the
mainland.
"Tell the front line, tell the entire Punishment Army
that the third line of defense is not allowed to make any mistakes. Until
death, Iberia must not lose even an inch of territory!"
Carmen picked up his weapon and held up a lamp. He didn't know
what stimulated the sea creatures, making them want to go to the earth at all
costs and turn the entire earth into the sea.
But Carmen knew that they must not be allowed to reach the
earth, absolutely not.
The front line of defense on the coast is different from the
rear line. It is eerily quiet here. The defense line built by Iberia is covered
with a substance that emits a faint blue fluorescence.
This place has become the nest of the sea creatures. It is
shrouded in silence. Inside the houses on the defense line, the flesh fetuses
wriggled slightly and turned into sea creatures that can walk on land, making
sounds like babies.
If you can understand their calls, you can hear the whole
room, the entire defense line, the entire coast, and the entire ocean shouting
a noun, or a name.
"Mother of genesis! Mother of genesis! Mother of genesis!"
