There is still no trace of Ah Jin.
The whole world is in chaos, and the monsters are still "thawing" one after another. The thawed monsters either go home, or are still lost on the road.
Construction is underway in the city, and help is needed everywhere, so the test area is very busy. Jihuan has assigned most of the work to four subordinates (← they all survived), but even so, he is still very busy, Lao Ra and Nibru sent him everything that should be decided by A Jin. Internal affairs, foreign affairs... There are many things to do, not to mention that he has to find A Jin.
Ji Huan spent a lot of money to send people everywhere to pay attention to the changes in various places, where strange things happened, where terrible monsters appeared... As long as he felt "different", he asked the other party to report to him.
He suspected that A Jin lost his nucleus and turned into a monster.
With a large reward from Jin Chuang, he has received a lot of news one after another, and the monsters leading the order have even caught a lot of monsters back!
I don't know if I should be happy or disappointed, but none of the beasts are Ajin.
I think should not be
Ji Huan looked at the monsters that were locked up in a yard, and felt a little lost.
Speaking of the yard, he bought the entire next-door neighbor's house. The neighbor on the left was one of the monsters who could never come back in the disaster. His badge on the deed disappeared, so the land was lost again. , Abu and Collivan helped Jihuan get the contract for this land. When signing the contract, Jihuan asked Heidan to sign his name.
The name of the little monster was crooked, and when it was signed, it was still the Chinese character for "Black Egg". Just when Jihuan was thinking about whether to give Heidan an official name, the moment the agreement was formed, the name signed by Heidan was not. It became two symbols that Jihuan did not know.
A black badge appears at the end of the symbol.
It was a very majestic badge, with the coercion of mountains and seas. At the moment of the agreement, the monsters in the entire office trembled slightly.
Heidan ignorantly handed the signed contract to Jiu Jiu.
Without seeing the reaction of other monsters, Ji Huan just touched Heidan's little head, and then said to him, "This is Heidan's house."
Black Egg laughed.
Starting today, the black egg is the landlord!
He's going to dig a hole in the yard to grow vegetables, and then—
Raise a lot of chickens!
However, before doing it again, the yard must be used by Jiu Ma.
Jihuan put all the monsters caught by other monsters in this yard. Although there is no way to confirm that they are A Jin, there is no way to confirm that they are not.
No one knows what Chaos would have become if it was lucky not to become darkness after it was transformed into its original form. What's more, I don't know if all the cores were once part of Ah Jin's power, but now almost all monsters carry the remnants of Ah Jin's "power".
So Jihuan could only let more and more monsters grow in the yard, but fortunately, Heidan Tuo was so good, he helped Grandpa cook together every day, and then helped to feed these monsters.
During this period, three of these monsters suddenly turned into monsters again.
By the way, Kronte's elder brother has also become a monster again. After learning about his younger brother from Jihuan's mouth, he thanked Jihuan and gave him a "black pill" with a black egg. Like his brother, he also embarked on a journey to find his loved ones.
At this moment, Heidan is carrying a small bucket and seriously stuffing food into the mouths of every monster. Those big guys with bad tempers were not so good at first, and they don't know how the black eggs "communicate" with it/them. Now the two sides have gotten along well.
"Mother Ji~ Eat more!" Although the little monster's voice was small, Ji Huan still heard it.
He has been missing A Jin recently. Although the little guy has tried his best not to show his misses too much to prevent the adults from being more anxious, Ji Huan still feels it.
"Let's demolish this wall first." While Ji Huan was looking at the black egg, Abu came over.
Recently, he is not in the "business" of robbery. With a group of team members, he is now doing civil construction work everywhere. This group of monsters is powerful and skillful, and they do it quite well.
The expansion project of Jihuan's house was brought by him for free.
But it is called "project", but in fact, it just repaired the damaged roof on the opposite side, rebuilt the collapsed wall, and then opened the wall between the two courtyards, and nothing else was done.
"The rest of the matter, the ground of the yard..." Abu paused for a while, then looked up at Jihuan.
"Wait for Ah Jin to come back. This side is full of vegetable fields. I think he might want to make a garden on the other side." Ji Huan's tone was as calm as ever.
Abu patted Jihuan's shoulder heavily, but said nothing.
Everything is fine, except Ah Jin still hasn't come home.
Ji Huan touched his heart, and it is said that it is now a nucleus.
"Green" - Black Egg told himself after looking at it.
With a nucleus, it is a monster.
And without a nucleus, it is a monster.
Worse yet, it will turn into a black mist...
Those mists may be scattered everywhere, may exist in this world, or even penetrate into other worlds...
A trace, a mass, was broken up by the whole.
No form, no nucleus, no memory;
Forget who you are, and forget who he is.
Ajin may never remember the way home, nor recognize Jihuan anymore...
Thinking of this, Ji Huan, who was bending over to pick up the gravel on the ground, suddenly squatted down completely.
A tear fell and quickly seeped into the soil on the ground.
This is when the mutation happened—
The ground suddenly trembled violently!
Water droplets sprinkled little by little on Jihuan's head.
It's raining
This was the first thought in his mind, but he quickly realized that it was impossible for Yefar to rain.
Ji Huan stood up, raised his head, and small water droplets splashed his face. He looked into the distance, and then saw the huge water column spraying high from the north.
"Go and have a look." After wiping the drops of water on his face, Abu immediately stood up.
There is more than one monster who thinks this way. Almost all the monsters put down what they are doing when they see the water column, and then quickly ran in the direction of the water column.
When Jihuan rushed over, the water column had disappeared, but even so, he didn't have to worry about losing his way, because the place where the water column once appeared was already a magic mountain and a sea of magic.
"Wow!" These Yefaer monsters, who rarely speak outside, were talking about it at this time.
Jihuan walked from the group of monsters to the first row by Abu. The black egg was put on the head by Abu, and the view was the best. When they finally saw what was inside, Jihuan was stunned. Hei Dan also opened his mouth wide in surprise.
In the middle of the desert, a black hole suddenly appeared.
The sand near the entrance of the cave has all turned into a glass-like thing, shiny, like a crystal, and like a gem, which is very beautiful.
These "jewels" were spread out in the desert for a radius of 100 meters, and only turned into sand when they were 100 meters away, and the hole was opened in the middle of countless "gems".
The surrounding air was twisted, and the temperature inside the cave was obviously very high.
"It was lava that spewed out at the beginning! It was red! It was very high! Then suddenly the water came out!"
"Then what? Then what?" the other monsters hurriedly asked.
"The water sprayed so high, and then suddenly disappeared..." The monster who broke the news choked.
Standing quite far from the entrance of the cave, the monsters looked at the entrance cautiously.
Even if the distance is so far, the monsters can still feel the heat coming from the hole, but these are not the reasons why the monsters dare not approach at all. The mighty coercion!
The pressure seemed to have turned into an entity, entrenched in the entrance of the cave, but just like this, no monster around dared to approach.
The rumors from the outside also spread to Ye Farr, and a monster immediately thought of those rumors!
"It is rumored that a new demon king is about to be born. Didn't the prophecy say that the new king will come with the lava? This... This is not the birthplace of the new king, right?" Immediately, some monsters said their guesses.
"Oh oh oh! The new Demon King?" The monsters were instantly blown away by this sentence.
Everyone held their breaths and did nothing. They all stood by the entrance of the cave, waiting for the legendary Demon King to climb out of the ground.
Tension and anticipation, the monsters all stood and waited, they waited from day to night.
Many monsters were hungry and left without demons. Grandpa had an idea and walked out quietly with Naji. Not long after that, he returned with a newly made cart.
The car was full of hot and fragrant food, and he first stuffed a portion for his grandson, Abu Yimo, before Grandpa and Naji started drinking.
The monsters who didn't want to leave immediately began to buy food. It didn't matter if they didn't bring any money. Grandpa took a small ledger to keep accounts.
The monsters just waited while eating, and waited and waited. Gradually, more and more monsters left, and only about half of them remained in place.
Jihuan is one of the monsters left behind.
His core was agitating, maybe it was the words that the previous monster said "the birth of a new devil king" that gave him inexplicable expectations, or maybe it was other reasons, he always felt that he couldn't miss what might happen next.
It's a pity that although he and A Jin are contractors, at this moment, there seems to be no tacit understanding between them, and there is no "heart-to-heart" thing happening.
He can only use the stupidest method - wait.
He knew that he probably didn't have to wait too long.
The hot breath at the entrance of the cave finally dissipated, and the sound of water continued to come from the ground. Accompanied by the sound of "gulu" and "gulu", there was a continuous rise of hot air in the entrance of the cave, which was the smog of hot water.
Finally, the sound stopped, and at this time, the new hot spring water also filled the entire cave.
Water vapor, as if something was about to come out of the water.
The monsters who had left before ran back again one after another. All the monsters looked at the entrance of the cave nervously. Then, they finally got the long-awaited picture:
Black air suddenly emerged from the white water vapor, and a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the water vapor.
Is that the Demon King? Is that the new demon king? So small... Is it the ears of the new demon king? still head...
The monsters are getting more and more nervous!
Just when their cores were hanging high, the shadow finally emerged from the mist.
At this point, the monsters finally saw the clear appearance of what came out of it: it was a mass of black mist, the limbs were very inconspicuous, and there were two white dots in the center, which were the eyes.
Under the gaze of all the monsters, the black mist quickly escaped in the direction where there were no monsters.
Then, a black shadow appeared behind the white water vapor, and after a while, another black mist ball of similar size rolled out of the water vapor.
Monsters: =-=
How come and how come back, the monsters left one after another.
Those who didn't leave were interested in hot springs, and they began to study whether this hot spring could be soaked.
"A lot of black eggs." The black eggs opened and opened their mouths, and finally the little guy could only say that.
"Whenever a big monster dies, these things will always appear. They either become monsters, or become monsters, or dissipate in the air... This is the initial state of power." Abu explained next to him, seeing the Black eggs, he added: "They have no thoughts and can't speak, and they are different from black eggs."
The black egg nodded knowingly.
He may still have an impression, but he may no longer have the memory of that time: when he was very young, he was once arrested and locked up with many identical little monsters. Those little monsters... and the hot spring at this time. There is not much difference between the primary monsters that appear.
No, there is still a little difference. Those little monsters are already somewhat conscious. They know they are afraid, and they also know how to grab food.
However, when the "magic energy" that has just grown in these hot springs grows a little, if they are not dissipated in the air, if they are not eaten by other companions, they will also evolve into that.
The residual qi that overflows from the dead monsters is the main reason for the formation of these little monsters...
Thinking of the word "death", Ji Huan touched his chest, feeling the agitation of "nuclear", and his heart became a little more stable.
Then he turned to Abu again for help.
"Abu, help me, help me catch these little monsters, don't hurt them, send them all to my house..."
The prestige in the test area is getting higher and higher. As soon as Jihuan's reward order came out, almost all the monsters came out to help him catch these new "monsters".
However, these new "monsters" are extremely difficult to catch.
They are the weakest, but they are undoubtedly the most difficult to catch - their bodies are not solid, they shatter with a slight touch, fly into the air, penetrate deep into the sand, and many new monsters just disappear.
In this case, Ji Huan could only cancel the reward order.
However, the more this happened, the more anxious he became.
He had a hunch: Ah Jin was among these newly born monsters.
He had a hunch: Ah Jin was "going home" with them.
It's just that he couldn't find his way home for a while.
Putting everything down, Jihuan did nothing, wandering around Yefar all day long, trying to find these newborn monsters.
Most monsters disappeared the day they were born.
Or disappear into the air, or be absorbed by the surrounding monsters unconsciously, or more are "eaten" by their companions.
Although they are unconscious, they have the instinct to avoid danger.
Most of these monsters that survived and evolved a little went to the garbage heaps on the edge of Yefar.
The gathering place of the weakest monsters, under the cover of garbage, they continue to evolve.
Under the conscious protection of Jihuan, they evolved very quickly, absorbing a large number of "companions" and the free "force" around them, and their volume grew very fast. Although they still had no entity, their black mist area expanded. More than twice as much, the few monsters that survived now seem to be behemoths.
However, they have no body, they look like fog, and they are entrenched in the garbage piles on weekdays.
They appeared in the dark, and their bodies almost merged with the night.
Quietly staring at these black "monsters" that can almost be described as hideous, Jihuan's face was expressionless.
His eyes were pitch black, and he hadn't slept since he discovered these monsters.
Afraid of missing the reunion with A Jin, he searched for these misty monsters in every corner day and night.
By now, he was very tired.
He looked at the "black mist" in front of him. These "black mists" had no consciousness. It could be said that they were "sleeping" all day long.
When he approached one of the "black mists" and passed through the other's "body", Jihuan's surroundings turned into darkness.
Jihuan walked like this, he passed through pieces of "black fog", and whenever he entered one of the "black fogs", his sky turned black, when he walked out of the "black fog" At that time, the sky returned to its original color.
Finally, when he came out of the dark fog, the sky was still black.
it's dark.
Countless "black fog" monsters merged into the night, and Jihuan could no longer see them.
Jihuan lay heavily on the garbage heap.
His eyes were dark, but his mind was clear.
At this moment, he suddenly realized.
He suddenly knew how to find A Jin!
Ah Jin,
The world is too big, and you are nowhere to be seen.
I can't find you.
But again, I'm the only one who can find you.
In the world of dreams, no one can go farther than me.
I just need to find the dream that has me.
At this moment, it must be you who is dreaming that dream.
Ji Huan closed his eyes heavily.
Due to the fatigue of many days, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
The dream is also dark.
In the endless darkness, he stood in a place where there was nothing.
The dream of a "monster" without any consciousness is also nothing.
A void.
However-
Except for one direction.
It's not pitch black here, there is one direction, only one direction, and there is a faint light coming from that direction.
Jihuan walked towards the direction of light, and then...
He saw himself.
Like a movie scene, he saw himself in his youth, he saw himself in youth, when he was asleep, when he was busy working...
He saw the bedroom, kitchen, living room of the house...
Then, I saw the door of the house.
Looking at the door that was gradually closing, Jihuan ran faster in the dark, he ran over, and then pushed open the hidden door!
"I found you!" Ji Huan said loudly, reaching out and grabbing the wrist behind the door.
In reality, Ji Huan opened his eyes almost at the same time, and when he saw a cloud of black mist caught by him, two lines of hot tears flowed from Ji Huan's eyes.
The author has something to say: This story should be about to end~
The world is too big, I can't find you.
But I am the only person in this world who can find you.
Among so many monsters, in this huge world, I know that only you will have me in your dreams.

At this moment, it's not time for grandpa and black egg to sleep~
