"..."
The Shi family father and son watched Mu Heng stepped forward, reaching out his hand very naturally to take Shi An into his arms, lowered his head and kissed the boy's cheek, and asked in a low voice, "Tired?"
Shi An put most of his body weight close to the opponent's arms and nodded vigorously:
"Uh-huh."
He was originally a very lazy dragon, able to sit without standing, lying without sitting, and sleeping for tens of thousands of years.
During this period of time, Yi came to stretch out his hands for food and open his mouth, and it was so pleasant to be held by humans even when going out, and it greatly aroused Shi An's inherent inertia.
"It's tiring to walk," Shi An complained.
He thought for a while and added:
"I'll change back to a dragon in a moment, so you can hug me."
Mu Heng curled his lower lip, his voice was low and unconsciously gentle:
"good."
Shi family father and son: "...… …"
They have fallen into a state of extreme trance, almost some can't believe their eyes and ears.
What happened just now? What's happening here
Mu Heng knew Shi'an was... Dragon
and…
It looks like...
The dragon slayer and the dragon hook up together? ? ? ?
Mu Heng turned his head to look at the pile of treasures on the side, and raised his eyebrows: "Yours?"
"right."
Shi An only remembered half of his activities just now. He looked at Shi's father and son who were dumbfounded not far away. A pair of golden and red dragon pupils flicked through the depths of a terrifying hostility, gritted his teeth and said: "This group of thieves. !"
Mu Heng looked at these golden treasures thoughtfully.
He once remembered that Zhuo Fu had told him that although the Shi family was a family that had just risen during this period, its financial resources were exceptionally rich, probably because of the support of these giant dragon treasures.
In addition, the dragon's call was controlled by the organization of the black-robed men from beginning to end, and the source of these treasures was self-evident.
"This group of humans not only used their dirty hands to confuse my treasure, they even sold, abused, and wasted!"
The piles of gold and silver treasures in front of you are even those that they haven't had time to use!
Shi An's words became more and more angry, and flames rose in his eyes: "When you just came in, I was about to play a little game with them."
The teenager gave a harmless smile:
"That way he might remember to sell my treasure there."
When Shi Zechun came into contact with Shi'an's sight, he shuddered subconsciously.
Chilled sweat oozes from his back, and in a flash he wets his clothes and sticks to his back.
Mu Heng dropped a pair of azure blue eyes, frowning slightly:
"play games?"
The man's voice is low, his tone is flat and there is not much fluctuation, but it sounds like he doesn't agree with him.
A faint hope suddenly rose in Shi Zechun's heart.
Yes, after all, Chief Mu is still a member of the Monster Management Bureau.
As a human, he shouldn't die, let this evil dragon torture them, right
At this moment, I just listened to the other party continuing to ask:
"Aren't you tired?"
Shi Zechun: "..."
wait wait wait
"And this will be very inefficient." Mu Heng added faintly: "Humans can say everything under the coercion of fear and pain, but it is difficult to guarantee the authenticity of the secret."
He raised his eyes, and his deep and cold gaze fell on the Patriarch of Shi who was not far away, his voice indifferent:
"I believe he has a lot of secrets he wants to pour out."
Deals with infidels, windfalls, the death of a wife, the sacrifice of the eldest son.
These are best left to professionals.
At the moment when he heard Mu Heng's words fall, Shi Zechun felt that his eyes went dark, and the last hope was replaced by despair, his strength seemed to be emptied in an instant, and the whole person fell to the ground as soft as a puddle of mud.
It's over.
It's over, it's over.
This is really over...
At this moment, Mu Heng's communicator rang, and he looked down.
The information was sent by Zhuo Fu.
He reported the abnormalities throughout the continent.
Obviously, the upper management of the administration was also aware of the crisis, so they responded quickly and called an emergency meeting.
Shi's father and son have been taken away by Mu Heng's people, waiting for Shi Zechun to be interrogated by professionals.
The situation facing his son, Shi Rui, is equally severe.
The communicator he had handed over to the Administration had been deciphered, and most of the data was recovered. The technicians found that although a small part of the contact was led by infidels, a large part of it was initiated by Shi Rui himself.
This involved not only the murder of his half-brother, but also the intrusion of the Ability Academy and the murder of President Pei that happened some time ago.
The treasures in the cave finally returned to their owners.
Shi An took them back into his bag contentedly, and then returned to Mu's house.
And Mu Heng hurriedly went to the management bureau to attend the meeting.
The top floor of the administration building is the emergency meeting room. The ceiling, floor, and walls are all paved with cold metal, and the silver-gray tone is solemn and somber.
In the center of the room is a huge round table, with clear distinctions between the left and right sides.
The round table is full of seats, which is rare in the entire administration since its establishment.
There are two systems at the upper level of the administration.
There are five directors, belonging to five regions in the mainland. They are basically from the ancient and powerful families in each region. They are mainly responsible for investment and management. They rarely participate in the specific operations of the administration. They basically do not except for major events. Will appear.
The external system also has five people.
The director of the administrative bureau is responsible for the overall direction of the administrative control, while the remaining four persons lead the four main departments of the administrative bureau.
Combat Division, Research Institute, Technology Department, Logistics Department.
Among the four departments, the combat department and the research institute have the largest volume, and the remaining two departments are more supportive and coordinated. Therefore, the status of these two departments is higher and the power is stronger.
When Mu Heng arrived, the other nine people were already seated.
He nodded coldly at the crowd, and then came to sit down in his own place.
The director of the management bureau is a middle-aged person who cannot see his age.
His sideburns are very long, his beard is white in gray, and his eyes are the same iron gray, looking very serious.
The director coughed slightly and stood up: "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
Zhuo Fu briefly described the abnormality detected by the research institute during the recent period, the sample of the spider monster, the information it provided, the blood moon, and the guesses they made based on the information to everyone present.
Low-pitched, whispered discussions sounded around, and everyone's expression became solemn.
Mu Heng narrowed a pair of unpredictable eyes, and his gaze passed silently over the person in the seat.
The chief of one of the divisions asked: "Blood moon? The blood moon has not appeared for at least 10,000 years. How can you be sure that it will appear in a week?"
Zhuo Fu said: "You can rest assured that we have the exact source of information and evidence to support it. If you need it, I can send you the data on the abnormal fluctuations of the mainland's magic power caused by the high frequency of the abyss cracks in the last year. I hope you have enough Time to read these reports."
The questioner was choked, angrily stopped asking questions.
"In short, we have reason to believe that the pagan organization, which has been vigilant and monitored for many years, is preparing to launch the next attack, and it is very likely that the attack has been completed. According to the information we have now, the high probability is to cause the entire continent. The monster riots inside triggered a full-scale war between humans and monsters." Zhuo Fu continued.
The meeting room was quiet for a moment.
"No, it's not just that."
The governor of Chuo Ward, who hadn't said a word from just now, broke the silence.
He is the oldest in the entire conference room, with long white hair and long beard, his face is criss-crossed, and he has a pair of wise and deep gray eyes.
His surname is Pei, and he belongs to the same family as the former principal of the Ability Academy, and is the highest present in terms of qualifications and status.
When he spoke, the others closed their mouths respectfully and stopped talking.
"Since my brother died, I have started to study and read all the ancient documents related to that organization, trying to find some clues in it." He coughed lightly, and there was a trace of pain in his gray eyes, but it was very painful. He was almost restrained:
"Unexpectedly, what I found was far beyond my imagination."
"You should all know that since 40,000 years ago, the fantasy species on the mainland began to gradually decrease, and they have disappeared today.
However, this is not a natural choice, but a human contribution. "
Chilling sounds sounded all around.
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, seeing the same shock in each other's eyes.
what…
"We used to think that the abyss and the mainland are both external and internal, just like day and night, positive and negative, yin and yang, but this has been proved wrong by ancient alchemy. In fact, the abyss is far more than the mainland. Older and more powerful, to be precise, it is the source of the mainland's magic power, and the reason why the fantasy species is powerful is precisely because their veins are more or less derived from the abyss."
The governor of the central district cleared his throat and continued slowly:
"Until later, mankind found a way to block the abyss and the continent forever. After the abyss was sealed, the continent would naturally become independent, and the source of the fantasy species' power was cut off. As time goes by, this generation naturally exhausted and died. But the next generation can't be born, so it disappears naturally."
He raised his eyes, looked at the people in front of him, and said in an old voice:
"They really want to initiate a full-scale war between humans and monsters, but these monsters don't just include those on the continent—"
Everyone was stunned by this conclusion.
An ominous premonition began to surface in my heart.
Just listen to the old man continuing to say—
"They want to break the seal and reconnect the abyss and the mainland."
Mu's house.
Shi An changed back to a small dragon with a big palm, slumped on his own big bed, and began to take a serious look at his current treasure reserve.
Now the treasures of the Shi family have been recovered, in addition to all kinds of precious jewels seized from the Mu family...
Coupled with some extra income also greatly expanded his inventory.
Seeing that the number of treasures in his bag increased little by little, and the treasures that had been lost return to his side, Shi An felt extremely relieved.
Unfortunately…
The treasure arranged by the heretics in the Ross District is still with the Authority for the time being.
The whereabouts of the treasures in the hands of the mercenaries are temporarily unknown.
In addition, there are some scattered "losses"...
Shi An sighed sadly, his tail drooping down, and the whole dragon was listless.
At this moment, he felt the familiar breath approaching.
Mu Heng is back.
Shi An raised his eyes and looked at the silver-haired man who entered the room.
He tilted his head--I don't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Mu Heng seemed a little worried.
Mu Heng leaned over and picked up the silver-white dragon on the bed.
Shi An naturally nested into the opponent's arms, and a pair of golden-red eyes blinked: "What's the matter?"
Mu Heng shook his head: "It's nothing."
He took off his gloves and stroked slowly along Xiaolong's back.
Shi An squinted his eyes, and there was a pleasant grunt in his throat.
There was a man's voice above his head:
"What does the abyss look like?"
Shi An thought for a while: "Um... It's mainly dark."
The monsters inside are very old, aggressive and crazy, but they are very afraid of him, and basically they don't want to get close to Jean's lair, so they will be quiet and suitable for sleeping.
"Do you want to go back?"
Mu Heng stroked Xiaolong's back and asked slowly.
Shi'an hesitated.
If it was before, he would definitely not hesitate.
After all, his goal has always been to find all his treasures, restore his strength, and then return to the abyss to continue his own lasting ten thousand years, and will continue to sleep for ten thousand years.
but now…
Don't know why, Shi'an feels a little hard to make a decision.
Probably still thinking about it, right
Although there are many things that he likes in the human world, there are game consoles, and there are ice creams, but in the final analysis, these things are new to him for hundreds of years, and then they will enter a long period of boredom and loneliness.
Sleeping is more suitable for him.
But…
Shi An raised his eyes and looked at the human being holding him. The man's face was reflected in a pair of golden red eyes.
He blinked, raised his paw, hooked the other's clothes, and asked seriously:
"Are you willing to be snatched back by me?"
