Pipe is the name of the unknown organism in front of me for the "divine word of teleportation", so "contract" is...
Divine word?
Moyu quickly reacted and became more certain about some speculations about the Dark Continent.
Including this unknown organism...
I really don’t know when I came to the Six Continents.
Hundreds of years?
Or thousands of years?
Do all creatures in the Dark Continent live this long?
His thoughts gradually started to wander, but Moyu quickly suppressed them.
Now is not the time to think about such things.
"The deed you are talking about is the things carved on the stone slab?"
In order to confirm his guess, Moyu looked at Mamen, who was not hiding his surprise, and asked.
"yes."
After Mammen responded, she took a moment to look at Moyu.
In fact, before raising this question, he was basically certain that Moyu returned to the ruins by activating the pipeline independently.
But this also shows that Moyu has learned "qi" and his level is not low.
Obviously, last time I was still here asking "how to get out", so the reaction of being ignorant of the current situation was not an act.
In other words, the human being in front of me has mastered a not weak level of bond in such a short period of time?
This is what surprised Mammon.
Moyu thought about it briefly, nodded and said: "I did learn the deed you mentioned, but in my understanding, this ability is called the divine word."
"It's incredible."
Mamen suddenly leaned forward, her obsidian eyes fixed on Moyu's face.
Facing his sudden behavior, Moyu always looked calm, including his mental state, which was also calm.
There is indeed no malice at all, let alone murderous intent...
Based on this, the threat level of the unknown organisms was confirmed, and Moyu did not have to worry about the situation for the time being, and could better control the current situation.
If the situation permits, you can also use conversation to obtain more information.
but--
If you rashly stop that group of people from entering the ruins, I am afraid that the attitude of this unknown organism towards you will be reversed in an instant.
Mamen stared at Moyou closely, as if looking at a rare treasure.
Contract is a precious ability that can create vitality in the hometown (Dark Continent).
For those life forms with relatively weak survivability, the contracts blooming in various parts of the Dark Continent are like protective umbrellas, which can block various crises to a certain extent.
In particular, the pipeline type contract can not only greatly improve the efficiency of their search for food outside, but also completely isolate them from various potential threats they may encounter during their trek.
Some pipelines can even transport them to a safe internal space where they can escape the harsh environment.
It's just that this kind of pipeline is very rare.
That's right.
The vastness of the Dark Continent is indescribable. Its area is hundreds of times the size of the human world.
However, in such a vast land, it is difficult to find a safe place to live.
The constant dangers are a true reflection of the living environment of the Dark Continent.
The importance of "contract" that can improve the living environment is self-evident.
But unfortunately——
With the passage of time, the once-blooming contract left over from ancient times began to wither many years ago.
When the contract with the "assimilation effect" loses its effect, its own existence will be exposed to countless predators.
When the "barrier ability" of the contract loses its effect, the burning breath from the predator will directly hit the body.
When the contract with "pipeline transmission" loses its effect, it will become difficult to move forward in a crisis-ridden environment.
More and more contracts are dying, and the living environment is being continuously compressed.
Because of this, Mammon took the risk of sneaking into Lake Mobius (the Six Continents), a paradise in this world.
Qi is what humans call the divine word.
But to be precise, human beings' divine characters originally originated from the Dark Continent.
After Mammon came to the human world, she had seen and even come into contact with some humans who had the power of divine words.
But the ability of divine characters is too profound.
Even humans with very strong learning abilities still need a lot of time to accumulate before they can barely touch the divine words, let alone reach the highest and most profound realm.
But the problem is-
Human lifespan is too "short"...
So what if your talent is extraordinary?
Without enough time, the places you can reach are limited.
So Mammon also began to try to learn divine words, but his talent in this area was very average, and he was able to achieve what he is today only through time.
so--
Moyo has become an incredible existence in Mamen's eyes.
But that's all.
Because he is now in a paradise instead of a vast land full of dangers, his need for "contract" is not that strong.
Mammen slowly calmed down, looked at Moyu, and said with emotion: "Human, you are very special."
This sentence is special. It not only refers to Moyu's talent for divine words, but also refers to some kind of existence from the dark continent that is parasitic in Moyu's body.
There are billions of humans in the world, why choose Moyu?
This is what Mammon considers special.
"..."
Listening to Mamen's sudden comment, Moyu couldn't help but remain silent.
He doesn't deny it.
Whether it is the existence of "perception" or his identity as a time traveler...
He is truly special to this world.
Seeing Moyu's silence, Mamen turned his gaze and looked at the ancient buildings not far away, as if he could see through these buildings the group of ordinary people facing life and death crises.
"No matter what kind of creature, they all need to 'eat' to maintain their lives. Of course I am no exception, but my food is your human greed."
"Um?"
Moyu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this unknown organism would suddenly explain its motive for sending these ordinary people to the ruins.
Feeding on greed?
No wonder...
But if it is just to absorb human greed, there are so many ways and means, there is no need to send a group of ordinary people to the ruins, right?
If nothing else, why not just go to the casinos in Los Santos and have a full meal in no time?
As if seeing Moyu's brief doubts, Mamen squeezed a wrinkle on his smooth forehead and said:
"After I left here, I originally planned to secretly absorb greed to ensure the most basic survival needs, but the vigilance of you modern humans exceeded my expectations. I was obviously very cautious, but I was still discovered."
Having said this, Mammon had more wrinkles on her forehead.
He has no interest in destruction, and has never wanted to affect the social structure of ancient or even modern humans.
He likes human beings.
Because you don’t have to do anything to absorb greed from the human circle.
But he is an alien after all, not to mention coming from the Dark Continent...
While the humans in Lake Mobius covet the Dark Continent, they also have the highest level of awe and fear.
Therefore, once anything from the Dark Continent is discovered, the extreme handling method of "rather killing the wrong one than letting go" will be adopted. A slightly softer method is also to permanently imprison and study it.
Mammon understands human beings so well, how could he be so naive that he wants to fight for a space from humans that can guarantee his survival?
There is no possibility of "friendly conversation" between them.
This human existence——
You can only extract value from him unilaterally and arbitrarily.
Until he has no value at all, he will be completely destroyed like garbage.
Originally he only wanted to eat secretly, but the human response forced him to change his mode of action.
This is why he sent a hundred humans here.
Only here could he eat quietly without being disturbed.
Moyo glanced at the wrinkles on Mamen's forehead, thinking that the level of human vigilance Mamen said was most likely because he reported the situation here to Nitro.
So you can almost imagine...
After Nitro learns the relevant information, he will definitely inform the ferry bureau of the matter and work with the ferry bureau to make response arrangements for the matter.
But Mammon didn't know about this, and because he knew a lot about human beings, he thought that human beings were too vigilant.
Just as Moyu was observing Mammen's reaction, screams frequently came from the ruins.
It seems that those armored corpses and human head-holding statues began to eliminate outsiders.
Amateur hunters with better physical abilities than ordinary people can't escape the siege of this group of manipulated things, let alone a group of ordinary people.
From the moment they stepped into the ruins, all that was waiting for them was the death scythe that suddenly fell.
Listening to the screams that had significantly increased in frequency, Moyu frowned slightly.
"Human, I don't need to eat very frequently, about once every three months."
Mamen noticed Moyu's reaction and said in an indifferent tone unique to the predator:
"Every time, I only select a hundred humans. In addition, considering the extremely limited acceptance level of you humans, I only select humans with a history of crime. Ha... if it is you humans..."
At this point, Mammon suddenly fell silent.
There is no need to say more.
Humans can slaughter other creatures arbitrarily to satisfy their appetites, but they will never allow a beast that has devoured humans to continue to live.
Moyu heard Mammen's attitude towards this matter.
When selecting targets, you should also specifically select those with criminal histories. This behavior of siding with the predators seems superfluous...
Be cautious?
No.
It can be said to be walking on thin ice.
Moyou felt a little complicated and asked: "Why do you need to explain this to me?"
"Human beings, why should we ask questions when we know clearly?"
Mamen stared into Moyu's eyes and said calmly: "What I want is to maintain the status quo."
The implication is, don't destroy the things I have now.
"..."
Moyu understood and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
He knew how to enter the ruins, and he also saw with his own eyes Mammon's move of throwing a hundred humans into the ruins.
So as long as he is willing, he can easily destroy Mammon's way of survival.
Mammon knew this and went out of her way to explain the motives and reasons to him.
"For you, if you want to maintain the status quo..."
After a moment of silence, Moyu looked into Mamen's obsidian eyes and said calmly: "Instead of using the 'conversation' method, wouldn't it be enough to just kill me?"
This is a very risky test.
But it is also a simple and crude way to verify something.
As soon as these words came out, the life energy in Mammon stagnated for a moment.
“Good suggestion.”
He looked at Moyu, and the wings that had been folded before slowly spread out.
at the same time.
The life energy on his smooth and red body suddenly burst out like a mountain torrent, forming a surging and powerful aura in an instant.
call--!
The turbulent aura turned into a ferocious cyclone, rolling up the gravel and gravel around Mamen, forming a circle and flying into the sky.
Facing the powerful aura from Mammon at such a close distance, Moyu's pupils shrank slightly.
Even President Netero has to contend with this level of manifest energy.
Moyu, who was in a place where the aura was raging, couldn't help but think of the chimera ants in the original work...
The only thing that can be compared with the unknown organism in front of me is probably the three chimera ant guards in the original work.
the difference is--
In the powerful aura released by the unknown organism in front of him, there was no malice or even murderous intention like that of the three chimera ant guards, which was enough to scare Norbu to the point of losing all resistance.
This is what Moyo took the risk to prove.
It is clear that he can use force to solve problems, but he is still willing to choose negotiation.
Such a humble concession made Moyu very embarrassed.
Time goes back ten minutes.
Within the ruins.
Mi Ji showed flexibility that was completely inconsistent with his body shape, and he could move freely through various ancient buildings at very fast speeds.
He didn't deliberately deal with the armors and weird statues wandering around. At this moment, he just wanted to make money.
"Well, if you had some self-awareness, you wouldn't have died so miserably."
Listening to the frequent screams from behind, Mi Ji stepped lightly on the top of an ancient building and shook his head slightly.
"Oh? That's... a gold coin?"
Looking from a distance, his eyes rested on the open space in front of a temple, and he could see what looked like gold coins scattered on the ground.
Mi Ji's expression was shocked, an excited smile appeared on his fat face, and he immediately quickened his pace and ran away.
"It's indeed a gold coin!"
Arriving on the flat ground in front of the temple, Mi Ji picked up an ancient gold coin on the ground, his eyes shining.
"Too little, not enough!"
Mi Ji suddenly looked towards the open door of the temple.
A few minutes later.
Mi Ji came out of the temple with his upper body naked, carrying a large bag of gold coins wrapped in his shirt on his shoulders.
"Hahaha……"
After leaving the temple, Mi Ji smiled from ear to ear.
So many ancient gold coins are enough for him to buy out-of-print game cartridges, and they also allow him to stay at home for a long time without having to work.
What a great experience!
Mi Ji couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and ran as fast as he could in the direction he came from.
As for the group of ordinary people in the ruins who were forced into desperate situations...
It has nothing to do with him!
Quickly arriving at the outskirts of the ruins, Mi Ji still had an excited smile on his face.
"Um?"
But suddenly, Mi Ji felt a terrifying aura coming from nearby, and the smile on his fat face suddenly froze.
"what!?"
Mi Ji turned around in surprise and looked at the place where the aura erupted. Then he saw Moyou and Mamen, who were exuding a surging aura. His eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief.
what's going on?
Mi Ji was completely stunned.
However, Moyou and Mamen noticed Mi Ji's presence immediately and looked over at the same time.
Mi Ji's body couldn't help but tremble in response to the gaze that came with him, which was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Aren't you in a confrontation?
So what's going on with this sudden unanimous gaze?
I was just passing by!
No, think of a way quickly!
Mi Ji's facial expression management suddenly lost control, and he showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then——
"I'm Killua's brother!"
"Growing up, whether it's a toy or a snack, as long as Killua likes it, I will give it to him!"
