She finally knew why she felt familiar with the boy, because of those eyes. Those were the same eyes as Behemoth's, and it was also because of what the boy said just now.
Moni had only sung for Behemoth, and even Zero had never heard her singing. So it seemed impossible, but indeed only Behemoth met all the conditions at hand. It's just that it's hard for Mo Ni to connect the giant beast as tall as a hill with the young man in front of her who is about the same age as herself.
"I... Girutan..." the boy said through gritted teeth, "That name... I hate..."
But Moni said happily: "It's really you, Be... no, Girutan. I thought you were home."
Hearing this, the young man Jirutan became quiet, and there was a touch of sadness in the eyes of the beast. He said: "I don't know you here, I can't find the way... I only know you."
It seems that because of the communication with Moni, Girutan's speech became more and more fluent. Moni learned from his words that Girutan seemed to belong to the ability users of the mutant domain just like the residents of Titan City. But there are some differences. It seems that in Girutan's life, he maintains the form of the beast longer than the human form. Mo Ni vaguely guessed that it should be related to the environment in which the teenager lived.
The adventurer once said that Girutan came from the Southwest, a land of danger and death. To survive in that land, natural beasts have much more advantages than humans. Girutan was captured in beast form and has remained in that form ever since. After being free in Titan City, Girutan could not find his way home, so Girutan could only follow Moni silently.
This time, they came all the way from Titan City to the Shadow City. In order not to be noticed, Girutan, who crossed the security line of the Shadow City from the sky, switched from the beast form back to the human form, so as to blend into the crowd of the city.
"That means you have been in the Shadow City for two or three days?" Mo Ni asked curiously, "Then where do you usually live?"
The boy stepped on the ground with his feet and said succinctly: "Below."
"Below?" Mo Ni suddenly covered her mouth and said, "You mean the underground waterway?"
Girutan nodded and said, "It's... quiet... just... cold..."
Mo Ni's nose was so sore, she seemed to see her past in this young man. She grabbed Girutan's hand and said, "Come on, you follow me back to the hotel. Although the room is a bit cramped, it won't be cold."
The boy hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. He couldn't find his way home, and the reason why he wanted to follow Mo Ni was because the song Mo Ni sang for him that night in the warehouse made him feel like returning to his hometown. Although it's just an ethereal feeling, the boy always feels that staying with Moni is closer to his hometown.
For Girutan, Moni is a warm light in this dark world.
And Moni didn't know that at this moment, she planted the belief in her heart to help Girutan go home. Girutan felt closer to her than anyone else, ever since he was Behemoth. Because she and he are both looking for the past!
It was almost noon when we returned to the hotel. When Mo Ni walked into the gate with Girutan, he bumped into someone. She stepped back quickly, only to see that the clansman in front of her was wearing a cloak with a hood. He wrapped most of his face with a scarf, with only one eye protruding from under the brim of his hat.
Although it was extremely faint, Mo Ni could still smell the faint smell of blood on his body. And this man exuded an aura that made Mo Ni feel oppressed and uncomfortable. After many years, Mo Ni knew that it was called dead air.
Only those who climbed out of the dead would be contaminated with this breath. Usually, people who exude such an aura are very dangerous.
Girutan instinctively sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the other party, and the boy immediately pulled Moni behind him. His hair stood on end, his mouth let out a low growl like a beast, and his pupils kept shrinking and expanding repeatedly. In Girutan's body, the gene sequence is being rearranged, and the dangerous information on the person in front of him stimulates his gene switch from human form to beast form.
"Hey, Monnie, who is he?"
Unexpectedly, this person found a low but familiar voice. Then he pulled down the scarf covering his face and took off the hood, so another golden eye appeared in the eyes of the two of them.
"Zero?" Mo Ni exclaimed happily, "You're back!"
Zero nodded. After he killed Sauron, in order to avoid the mysterious perception domain ability user, he set up suspicious positions many times on the way. It wasn't until yesterday that the feeling of being spied on in his mind completely disappeared, and Zero dared to go at full speed. Although there are several small settlements behind Windmill Town, they are far away from the coastline road, so Zero decided to go to the Shadow City first. Although Atesa's ability is good, but when it comes to cleverness, she is not as good as Moni. Zero believes that with Moni's intelligence, she will definitely choose a city with a more obvious target and wait to meet her.
What surprised Zero was that there was a special boy beside Mo Ni. This made Zero couldn't help but lament that girls in the turbulent era really matured very precociously. After a few days of seeing each other, Mo Ni had already made a boyfriend.
Standing in the bathroom, Zero took off his clothes, but nearly 80% of his body was still covered with bandages. Although he escaped the big explosion designed by Sauron in Windmill Town, he was still burned by the high temperature flame. It's been four days now, and judging by the itching of the skin under the bandage, the injury should be close to healing.
He untied the bandage, and as the gray-yellow bandage gradually untied, a scorched black body was revealed in the bathroom mirror. The skin on the surface of the body is carbonized, but under the dead skin, there is a new pale pink skin.
Zero turned on the water switch for the bath, and gently sprinkled warm water with a trace amount of radiation. They quickly flowed all over Zero's body, and after being washed by the water, his charcoal-like skin made a slight crisp sound, and it actually cracked in large pieces. Like some kind of animal shedding its outer skin, this layer of carbonized skin cracked into countless pieces of water, which were continuously washed to Zero's feet by the water, and turned into black sewage, which flowed into the drain and disappeared.
In the mirror, Zero who peeled off the dead skin gave birth to a layer of pink and tender skin like a newborn baby. Strangely, after experiencing constant battles, Zero could feel the fibers of this layer of skin becoming tighter. This shows that the toughness of the skin has been qualitatively improved, which makes Zero more resistant to impact and injury. Especially after experiencing the big bang and Sauron's battle, when Zero's skin was generated, it automatically strengthened its resistance to flames, marking Zero's another small step on the road of evolution.
Zero closed his eyes, feeling the vigorous vitality released by every cell in his body. The recovery ability of the body obtained from cracking and copying the cells of Hans' blood is already. Although it is not as high as the ability of super-speed regeneration in the combat domain, Zero's regeneration ability has a certain amount of intelligence. Through the feedback of body damage data, when regenerating, it will deliberately strengthen the targeted defense reinforcement of a certain aspect, which makes Zero can't help but wonder, when this ability evolves to the highest stage, will he be able to have an immortal body
Just as he was observing the situation inside his body, Zero suddenly saw the face of a man. It was a man with long silver hair. He had a pretty face. This face does not exist in Zero's memory center. In other words, he does not think of someone, but someone directly reflects his image in Zero's mental idea.
Zero immediately opened his eyes, and an extremely dangerous feeling passed over his body like a blade.
