After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Chapter 8: If it's really a dragon... Then, what are you going to do?

"What's wrong? This is..."

Zhuo Fu was wearing a white coat loosely on his shoulders, and he hurried out of the laboratory.

He rubbed his eyes, his face was full of gloom and irritability of lack of sleep: "Please, do you guys know what time it is..."

As soon as he opened the door, Zhuo Fu's remaining words got stuck in his throat.

It's Mu Heng.

The straight coat was wrapped in the cold of the night, and a pair of silver-blue eyes were quiet and cold, and they looked over silently.

I am grass.

Zhuo Fu wakes up with a Ji Ling, and all his sleepiness is thrown out of the clouds.

He lowered his head to confirm the time—

Wait, it's not working hours, that's right.

Then why did this evil star suddenly appear at the door of the laboratory!

Mu Heng took off his gloves slowly and walked in.

"..." Zhuo Fu's mouth twitched as he stared at the empty corridor, and said dryly:

"Please come in, you are welcome."

He took a deep breath, closed the door, and turned to look at the uninvited guest behind him: "What can you do for you?"

Hearing a dull sound, Mu Heng put something wrapped in cloth on the table.

Zhuo Fu was taken aback: "?"

Mu Heng didn't answer, but instead uncovered the outer layer of fabric layer by layer, revealing the shiny metal surface.

It was a Western-style long sword with a silvery white body that was as bright as silver.

On the hilt of the sword was a roaring dragon, with huge wings spread out, and a long tail covered with barbed scales wrapped around the sword in circles.

Zhuo Fu took a breath: "My God, this is...?"

"Yes." Mu Heng nodded slightly, he lowered his eyes, and his gaze glided over the blade intently. His eyes were slightly deep, like a deep undercurrent under the surface of a cloudy sea.

"It's so beautiful..." Zhuo Fu couldn't help sighing.

He raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him, frowning somewhat suspiciously:

"However, why would you bring it here?"

Shouldn't this kind of thing be hidden deep in some safe, waiting to be passed on to future generations or something

Mu Heng: "It was moving just now."

Zhuo Fu: "... Huh?"

After a few seconds of silence, he blinked and asked tentatively, "Well, you know this is a sword, right?"

What the hell is it? !

Mu Heng rubbed the pattern on the hilt with his fingertips, raised his eyes, and said in an unquestioned way: "You said earlier that the fantasy species that appeared this time may be dragons."

As a colleague who has worked together for many years, Zhuo Fu immediately understood what the other party meant without needing more words.

"Wait, wait! I didn't say that before!"

He was taken aback, and anxiously explained: "Fantasy species hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years! This time it is very likely to be a false alarm. This has happened before..."

Mu Heng interrupted him: "But there is a possibility."

"..." Zhuo Fu said dryly in silence for a long time: "Yes."

"Very good." Mu Heng put on his gloves and said: "I will leave it here during this period of time to figure out what happened."

Zhuo Fu glared at the expensive hot potato on his table, unable to speak for a long time.

He has never regretted his guts the other day so much.

—You said you are okay with your idle mouth, what are you talking about!

Mu Heng turned around and walked out, but before he took a few steps, he was stopped by Zhuo Fu who had returned to Liu's mind:

"Eh, wait..."

Mu Heng looked back.

"If... I mean if!" Zhuo Fu hesitated and continued: "If there is a fantasy species, of course this possibility is very small, and if it is really, really a dragon... Then, what are you going to do? ?"

"Dragon?" Mu Heng repeated the word, slightly curling the corners of his lips.

He seldom laughed, but this action did not soften his icy contoured facial lines, on the contrary, it seemed like a blade was out of a sheath, and the split aggression suddenly appeared.

"Extinction is their best destination." Mu Heng said.

After speaking, he turned and left.

The room returned to silence.

Zhuo Fu stood there blankly, looking at the closed door not far away.

He couldn't help but recall the appearance of Mu Heng when he first met Mu Heng. At that time, the other party had not become recognized as the strongest human being, and he was not less and less unkind as he is now. At that time, the most suitable adjective for him was...

Fighting lunatics.

After that day, Shi Pai people searched everything inside and out, but they did not find any traces. It seems that the most reasonable explanation is that they escaped after being put into the simulation room, but Shi Rui always feels there is something wrong. It doesn't seem to be right.

But, did Shi'an kill those monsters and destroy the corpses

This thought flickered in Shi Rui's mind, but was quickly scorned by him and thrown behind his head—how could it be

Even if Shi'an had magical powers miraculously, it was impossible to single-handedly deal with five crazy monsters that were raised and raised, let alone leave no trace.

However, the faint anxiety has never disappeared.

So during this period of time, Shi Rui was quiet a lot, and never came to trouble Shi'an again.

And Shi'an hasn't been smooth sailing lately.

He repeatedly confirmed with the demon insects many times, and the other party insisted that on the night when he returned from the outside, it saw hard scales emerging from Shi'an's body.

But no matter how much Shi An tried, he was never able to call out his scales in a sober state.

He sat cross-legged on the ground in frustration, looking down at his empty hands.

Or not.

Human palms look thin and fragile, without scales, without claws, five fingers are long and thin, weird, and the skin is still pale that hasn't seen the sky for a long time.

—How unpleasant to look at it!

Shi An became more and more angry, clenched his fist and slammed it on the floor beside him.

"..."

Seeing that the boy's expression became more cold and gloomy, the demon worm approached cautiously and comforted: "Sir, don't worry, tomorrow is the beginning of school. When we get into the academy and find a gap, we should be able to soon..."

The icy expression on Shi An's face opened a gap.

He sucked his nose, rubbed the fist he used to hit the ground just now, crying and crying:

"pain."

When he was a dragon before, he was protected by scales. He has almost never been injured, let alone felt pain. Now that he has lost that indestructible armor, Shi'an realizes that he is so afraid of pain!

Seeing the young man rubbing his hands grievously in front of him, the devil couldn't help falling into a long silence:

"..."

It is completely unable to connect this pain-fearing and squeamish human with the evil star who killed the Quartet that day!

That day, after extinguishing the first three with a blink of an eye, Shi'an left two without directly burning to death.

—And the Demon Worm can hardly bear to think about the next scene.

Tear off the leg, let out the blood, cut open the stomach, and unscrew the head.

Shi An used the most primitive method to control the amount of magic power in the bodies of the monsters, and then sent it to the detection device to test the lowest magic power threshold it could detect.

The most frightening thing is that even though he was doing such cruel and terrible things on his hands, the boy's face still had that kind of almost innocent curiosity, like a child, without the slightest sense of evil and guilt.

Although the Demon Worm had seen many terrifying and cruel creatures in the abyss, it was the first time I saw it so creepy.

"correct."

Suddenly, Shi An raised his eyes to look at the Demon Insect. The expression on his face did not change much, but there was an unclear look in those deep black eyes.

"!" The wandering monster couldn't help but feel cold behind his back, and he stuttered a little: "Why, what's the matter?"

Shi An showed a thoughtful look: "You just said that we are going to enter the school tomorrow?"

"... Yeah, yes." The demon was in a daze.

Isn't that the case

"It's not us." Shi'an said with a smile, "It's only you."

Devil:! ! !

The smile on Shi An's face is sincere and harmless, but in the eyes of the demon insect, it seems like death is calling: "But it doesn't matter, I have figured out the way, and I will help you."

"..."

The last miserable and broken bodies of the other two insects flashed across the monster's mind, and all six thin legs began to tremble with fright.

—Ah, ah, ah, I don’t need your help!

the next day.

The butler drove Shi'an to the unified pick-up station, insulting him with all kinds of details, from life to study, to getting along with his roommates, almost everything is inclusive.

"... The college has sent someone to pick up the luggage this morning, and it should be placed directly in your dormitory..."

"... If you encounter that Shi Rui in school, avoid it if you can, don't have too much conflict, and be careful not to hurt yourself..."

Finally, before Shi'an was about to doze off, the shuttle bus arrived.

The housekeeper looked reluctant, and Shi An's back looked particularly impatient—I don't know if he was really longing for the life afterwards, or was really tortured by the housekeeper's nagging.

The Ability Academies will send vehicles to uniformly transfer all first-year freshmen to an almost independent and closed campus outside the city.

The vehicle is large, the engine is mainly driven by magic, and it runs quietly and quickly.

There is no independent box in the car, but the design space between the seat and the seat is very ingenious. The semi-enclosed glass partition not only provides a certain sense of distance, but also makes the new students familiar with each other.

Shi An walked up, and the whispers in the carriage stopped for an instant. Everyone looked at him at the same time, their eyes were weird and unfamiliar, and there was not much kindness.

Shi Rui sat in the middle row, surrounded by a few new students, who had faintly become the small core of the whole group.

Seeing Shi An coming up, he smiled and waved to Shi An, wanting him to sit next to him: "Brother, here."

The position in the car is arranged according to the level of the test.

But the back row was almost full, but there was a large area in the front row, and there were almost few people sitting.

—Everyone knows that there are actual combat items in the test after entering the academy, and the ranking obtained in that actual combat will affect their subsequent rating. Every year, there are accidents in the actual combat, so everyone is very cautious Low-key.

No one wants to be the staring bird.

As for Shi Rui, no matter whether Shi An comes or not, there is no loss to him.

It's self-consciousness, and it doesn't know how to promote it if it doesn't come.

Shi An just sat down in the first empty seat in the morning, then yawned lazily and closed his eyes.

The sound of inhaling cold air sounded less clearly in the carriage.

"..."

Shi Rui's expression and movements froze at the same time.

Grass.

-He really didn't expect that the other party was not able to measure his strength, and he didn't know how to promote it.

Shi An leaned against the car window sleepily, chin little by little, as if she was about to fall asleep.

The Demon Insect sneaked out of his sleeves, glanced back, and then whispered in a low voice, "Master Demon Dragon, um... How do I feel that the atmosphere seems a bit wrong?"

Shi An sluggishly raised his eyelids, "Is there?"

"Yes, I have!"

The texture of the air is different!

Shi An thought about it seriously, and said, "I see."

Devil: "Huh?"

Shi An: "This dress must be too ugly."

Devil: "..."

Ah? ?

What the hell is this

"It's all because the housekeeper turned my favorite suit out of my suitcase, not only for not letting me wear it, but also for not allowing me to take it to school," Shi An sighed in frustration and whispered dissatisfiedly. : "The aesthetics of this human being is really bad."

The demon worm recalled the feeling that his eyes were almost blinded when he saw the suit for the first time:

"..."

After a long silence, a particularly comforting emotion came from the heart.

—Thank you, butler.

real.

When Shi An woke up again, the vehicle had reached the destination.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, followed the crowd in a daze, got out of the car, and walked forward.

There was a high-pitched male voice not far away: "The first round of written examination is about to begin, please be prepared."

According to the tradition of the college, the written test is conducted on the first day of admission, and the order of appearance in the next two rounds of tests is determined by the results of the written test.

The freshmen followed the leading teacher and entered an empty hall.

It looked seven or eighth similar to the simulated space that day. The tall, iron-gray metal gate stood outside, and the new students walked past one by one and sat at the table where the written examination was about to take place.

Shi An walked at the end of the line and took the monster out of his cuff.

The demon worm glanced at the familiar scene in front of him, then turned to look at his familiar human being: "..."

It took a deep breath, then closed its eyes as if dead, "Come on!"

But until Shi'an released his hand, the pain he expected did not appear.

The devil opened his eyes blankly: "Eh...? Is it over?"

Shi An glanced at it strangely: "It's over."

What? Is it really over? !

The devil hurriedly felt it.

Sure enough, the magic power in his body has been controlled to a negligible amount, even if it is impossible to detect it even with sophisticated equipment.

"Yes...Yes..." It was dumbfounded and stammered: "But that day..."

"Oh, that," Shi An blinked, "You are already a citizen of mine. It doesn't take so much trouble to reduce your magic power."

He said: "I just need to test the threshold of the instrument that day."

But before the Demon Insect breathed a sigh of relief, I heard the young man continue to say in an understatement: "...By the way, I am also very curious about what the internal structure of the abyss species looks like now."

Devil: "???"

Shi An seemed to feel its sluggish gaze, lowered his head and smiled lightly at it, looking beautiful and sunny.

Devil: "..."

It trembled, and slowly looked away.

— Please, don't laugh, and then I will have human PTSD.

The author has something to say:

Devil: I would call it a mental attack
