The person he least wanted to talk to was this sharp-tongued woman. She had no integrity all day long and kept putting on a bad face. People who didn't know she thought she was serious, but in fact she didn't even forget to hurt others when she was talking about business.
He held his forehead and said, "Can you speak properly..."
"I just raised a possibility, which is the result of thinking." Second Yama said calmly, "This is to avoid making me dependent on my ability. I remember it was decided by everyone together. You shouldn't
Forgot?"
Then you'd better stop thinking about it...
"Okay, okay, you are the only one who has many excuses." He Shang said with a toothache, "So what do you think about this matter?"
The Second Yama became a little more serious, pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I have never thought about the fact that the tomb keeper is a human being... How did the news come about?"
He Shang informed the other party of Li Youji's discovery in detail, and also told him about the abnormality of the heavy rain and the fact that the monster was suspected of dropping "equipment".
"Are there monsters that are specially used to hunt specific targets and also drop 'equipment'..." Second Yama thought for a while and asked, "Have you figured out the function of that cross?"
After the woman in white who appeared in the heavy rain died last night, Li Youji found a silver metal cross from her body. Bai Mo did not take it away at the time, but gave it to Li Youji.
Love reading books
"Not yet. Cheng overused his ability last night. I can't analyze it as a cross yet, but it should be a good thing. I've sealed it."
He Shang thought of the white liquid he drank last night - it was absolutely magical. Even after a night, he still felt energetic.
The Second Yama suddenly sighed: "Tsk, you bald man is not very good yourself, but your subordinates are quite good. [Sketch] and [Resonance] can be used for too many purposes, and that girl named You Ji can even
It's really interesting to somehow abduct the tomb keeper to help you... The only pity is that they are too blind and have not met the Ming Lord."
"You can say whatever you like." He Shang shrugged.
There was silence on the computer screen for a long time. The Second Yama did not speak for a long time, and the air was dead.
The next second, her voice suddenly sounded: "Every one of your subordinates is very good... My condolences."
Although his tone was still cold, it had a rare warmth.
He Shang never said anything about the deaths of his subordinates, but she seemed to know this through some method and did not continue to mock He Shang.
He Shang smiled freely: "I've long been used to it. I'm fine - by the way, nothing happened inside Huang Quan, right? How are the others?"
"It's basically nothing serious. Everyone came back earlier and noticed the abnormality of the rain in time, so they didn't get wet. The damage in the city was very small. A few of the monsters you mentioned did appear, but there are
Wang Sha took action himself and solved it quickly."
The Second Yama said quietly, "It's a pity that we are not as perverted as you. We kill people and whip the corpses, so we didn't find the "equipment" you mentioned. The corpses disappeared not long after they died. It's just some
It’s a little regretful.”
"It's not that I want to cut open the body. If I have to say it, it's not me who is perverted, but the tombkeeper you care about so much..." He Shang said angrily.
"No, it's you." Second Yama corrected him promptly.
He Shang sneered, but didn't bother to reply.
This poisonous-tongued woman has been an absolute supporter of the Grave Keeper faction from the very beginning. It can even be said that she founded this faction. She is usually very concerned about the information about the Grave Keeper. It is said that the Grave Keeper is her biological father.
Pretty much...
He suspected that the reason why this woman was so obsessed with the tombkeeper was probably because of the precognitive dream she had half a year ago - after all, they had never met.
"Um... I mean the poisonous tongue woman. I've actually wanted to ask about it for a long time." He Shang hesitated, "That dream you had about the tombkeeper half a year ago... couldn't it be an erotic dream?"
As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly became stagnant.
He vaguely heard the sound of a cup being crushed on the other side of the screen.
Even if he couldn't see Second Yama's face, he could still think of the other person's cold face at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel happy - this time it's finally my turn to fight back, right?
However, what stunned He Shang was that not only did the woman not refute, she didn't even give a warning or reply, but continued as if she hadn't heard anything at all: "Very good, with this information, I have already
The situation of the heavy rain is basically guesswork.”
This...did I fucking guess it right?
He Shang shook his head, wondering for a long time, but finally did not dare to ask Chun Meng's question, and asked curiously: "How to say?"
"There's no rush, Huang Quan has a meeting in two days, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and discuss this matter together at the meeting." Second Yama said lazily, "By the way, there will be an emergency meeting in the council in a few days.
We also have to be there for the meeting, so you can come with me then."
"There is an emergency meeting at this time..." He Shang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and said in surprise, "Wait, are you and I going?"
"Well, everyone else will have something to do by then, but you are just idle all day long...what, aren't you happy?"
He Shang hesitated and said: "It's okay, but you are our fragrant steamed bun in Huangquan after all. Everyone who sees it wants to take a bite. If something goes wrong then, I may not be able to protect you by myself..."
He seemed to be worried about the safety of Second Yama, but he whispered in his heart: "It's impossible, there's definitely something wrong! I just said that, and this woman wasn't angry. Could she be holding back her ultimate move and be ready to attack her when the time comes?
Wanna beat me up on the way to Parliament?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that this woman was not only sharp-tongued, but also narrow-minded!
Everyone knows that the Second Yama of Underworld has the ability to predict the future, but he is not good at fighting. Like Xue Hongyu of the Council, he is even considered weak - but He Shang knows very well that this is just to make the outside world relax their vigilance.
Just rhetoric.
You are so weak! This is not the first time that he has been beaten by this woman...
At the same time, the Second Yama on the other side of the screen seemed to see He Shang's thoughts and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you don't spread what you just said everywhere, I won't beat you."
He Shang scratched his head and pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Um?"
A dangerous nasal voice immediately sounded on the screen, and He Shang broke out in a cold sweat——
Damn it, what an erotic dream, could I really be right?
"I understand." He lowered his head honestly.
"It's good to know. Also, regarding the fact that the tomb keeper is a human being, please don't say anything for the time being. I want to study it carefully."
He Shang nodded. He knew that although the poisonous tongue woman was a staunch leader in winning over the Tomb Keeper faction, she was very measured in her actions and would never forget her position as the underworld Yama.
Since she wanted to hide the news for the time being, she probably had her own plan.
"By the way, there is another thing..."
He Shang thought for a while and told the other party the news he got from the city lord of Wuji City.
Second Yama was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "I didn't expect you, a bald man, to really have the ability to step on shit, and you actually gained a lot this time..."
"Of course!"
He Shang grinned, feeling proud.
"But your mission is still not completed, right?" The next second, Second Yama's tone immediately turned cold.
"this……"
The smile on He Shang's face solidified.
Second Yama did not argue with him, but said thoughtfully: "The reason why the city lord suddenly let you go and left in a hurry is probably because of the tomb guard."
He Shang agreed: "I thought the same thing later, but I don't know what the tombkeeper did at that time to make that guy so flustered..."
He said worriedly, "But what I am most concerned about now is what the Lord of Wuji City said about the origin of extraordinary abilities. I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy..."
"The tombkeeper might know about this. Why didn't you ask him then?"
He Shang said angrily: "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. You didn't see that I was about to die without even starting to ask anything."
After a pause, he suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "But I found that guy's attitude towards women seems to be more friendly. If you keep your mouth shut, you are still pretty... Why don't you try seduction someday?"
?”
"nausea."
Second Yama interrupted coldly, "It's not that the tombkeeper is friendly towards women, it's that you are too disgusting."
She took a deep breath and thought, "I have actually thought about where the abilities of extraordinary people come from - the most direct conclusion is that both the ability users and the practitioners only came from the restricted area.
Appeared, so the extraordinary is most likely related to the appearance of the restricted area."
"Interestingly, most of the current opinions believe that the emergence of the restricted area is related to the humanoid restricted area creatures that have become more and more active recently. Assuming that the tombkeeper is really a human being, it is not impossible that other restricted area creatures are also human beings - even
So did the monster that appeared in the heavy rain last night!"
He Shang frowned, shook his head and said, "Not to mention the water-man girl I met last night, at least the woman in white that You Ji and the others met was not human - although she was indeed in human form."
The Second Yama was noncommittal and said indifferently: "Then if I tell you that all the rain monsters known to Huangquan last night have roughly similar characteristics to humans... what would you think?"
He Shang's heart suddenly thought, and then he asked doubtfully: "This can't mean anything, can it?"
"Yeah, it really can't explain anything... But if you think about it carefully, among all the restricted areas we have explored so far, how many times have we encountered restricted area creatures that truly have 'abilities'?"
He Shang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "There should be quite a few..." However, as he thought about it, his expression suddenly changed, "Wait a minute, think about it carefully, all the creatures with abilities we have encountered so far
, it seems that they are all in humanoid form..."
"No, no!" He quickly shook his head and denied, "I remembered, there are also other forms of forbidden creatures with extraordinary abilities! Whether they are animals or plants..."
"But they are few in number, aren't they?"
The Second Yama said, "And if you recall, most of the abilities of these forbidden creatures do not actually come from themselves, but are given by the rules of the forbidden zone. Once they break away from the rules, they are just ordinary ferocious beasts."
She said sternly, "Assuming that the news you got is true - human beings' extraordinary abilities did come from some kind of theft in the past, then according to this idea, there should be only two kinds of creatures with extraordinary abilities - "
"One is the creature whose abilities were once stolen by humans, and the other is humans themselves."
He Shang nodded. According to this guess, this may indeed be the case.
And in the next second, the Second Yama asked a question that completely stunned He Shang.
"Since it's a question of choosing one or the other, then why do you think some creatures in the restricted area have extraordinary abilities and are also humanoid?"
The air was quiet for a moment.
"You mean..." He Shang's mind went blank, and after a while he said in an unbelievable tone, "These forbidden creatures... are actually human beings?!"
——This is simply a shocking statement!
"I didn't say that." Second Yama said calmly, "Maybe they are the kind of creatures whose abilities have been stolen. Maybe they look very similar to humans."
He Shang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I think so. When I went to Dongyang City, there was a restricted area creature named Mu who had a good relationship with the tombkeeper. When Dongyang City captured her, she took
Some of her body tissues were tested and it was found that this guy is not human, and judging from genetic comparison, it is not at all like the same species as the equally inhuman Tomb Keeper."
"It is said that that guy also has a pair of blood-colored eyes that are not human-like, so he cannot be human."
"So, is there such a possibility..."
The Second Yama was silent for a long time, and suddenly he spoke calmly, and his voice exploded in He Shang's ears like thunder.
"Were they ever human?"
He Shang was stunned.
The Second Yama said: "To sum it up, this time the monsters in the rain appeared for certain specific people, and hunted the targets with absolute ability restraint, and some of their ability characteristics are similar to the rules of some restricted areas.
It seems to be a cobbled together product.”
"Patchworked together, they only appear at specific times, have specific hunting targets, and have so-called 'equipment' hidden in their bodies... Let's put all of this aside, but I still want to figure out why they are all humanoid.
Woolen cloth?"
"Did the rules of the restricted area piece together the monster, or was the monster once broken down into certain rules...and now put back together again?"
He Shang's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, he took a deep breath and said, "What on earth are you talking about..."
"Nothing, just some speculation - but it is not a good habit to blindly make judgments without sufficient information, so I won't say anything else."
The Second Yama exhaled and said calmly, "After all, there is a kind of creature called a god that has not yet been deciphered..."
He Shang's expression condensed.
The Second Yama continued: "Speaking of which, no humanoid taboo creature has been found to be truly human so far. Assuming that the tomb keeper is truly human... then he is undoubtedly a special case."
He Shang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this guy is too mysterious. I can't tell what he is thinking at all."
The second Yama didn't say anything, and after a while he suddenly asked: "Bald man, do you think there is such a possibility that the guy who stole abilities for human beings is actually the tomb keeper?"
"Probably not...it's too contradictory."
He Shang was stunned for a moment and said with some hesitation, "But that guy should at least know something about this matter, but it's a pity that he won't tell us."
"Yeah?"
The Second Yama said lazily, "Okay, if there is nothing else, today's communication will end here. Come back as soon as possible and be careful not to die on the road - everyone is waiting for you."
"Shut your crow mouth, I am immortal!"
He Shang cursed and was about to reply, but found that the communication had ended.
…
At the same time, in a room where no one could see anything, the dim light on the computer screen disappeared.
There was silence in the room, just endless darkness.
I don’t know how long it took, but a very soft voice sounded slightly lonely.
