When the sun hurriedly crossed the gap between the clouds and threw its light into the sea at a slight angle, the yacht Ronan and his party were on had already crossed the Tropic of Capricorn.
Ahead, Koro Base is already in sight.
It is now May 16, 2097, City time, around 10 a.m.
Compared with contemporary aircraft, even high-speed yachts are too slow. They traveled almost at the highest speed along the way, but it still took seventeen or eight hours to cross the two thousand kilometers of ocean.
Of course, there are also the effects of storms encountered along the way and man-made variables.
There are only 10 hours left before the high seas auction.
Koro Base used to be the most important outpost in the northeast of Ti City... and it is still the same now. However, as the World Government gradually enters the counterattack stage against the wilderness and even the ocean, the tight situation on the periphery has been greatly alleviated. This former military powerhouse is slowly declining.
Slowness has been integrated into more and more business elements.
The area with the highest density of mercenaries in the world, the "fishing area" with the largest amount of marine aberrations in the world, the trading center for abnormal raw materials with the most transactions in the world, and the "free port" with the most rampant underground black market... All kinds of names belong to it.
Ticheng is true, but this strategic gateway in the southwest Pacific, which is made up of hundreds of islands, must have contributed a considerable part to this.
Affected by the strong "commercial atmosphere", the current military-controlled area actually only covers the two largest islands of Sisu Island and Beisa Island. Hundreds of small Pacific islands are scattered in the southeast, and they are completely occupied by businesses.
and explorer's paradise, showing a high degree of freedom and disorder.
The yacht specially cut a small arc and entered the archipelago area from the southeast.
It sounds like hundreds of small islands are a lot, but in the vast Pacific Ocean, the distance between islands is mostly tens or hundreds of kilometers. Yachts travel through this sea area and only occasionally see some.
The undulating outline is slightly different from the sea and sky.
However, compared to the vast ocean outside, the wind and waves in this sea area have stopped early. Now the clouds are slightly thicker and the sea surface is gentle. It is a good time for sea fishing.
The scattered shadows of ships on the sea are also a rarely seen sight in the vast ocean outside.
It looks very relaxed.
"Sometimes, this place is more wilderness than the wilderness. You can still see a corpse or something in the wilderness. If you throw it into the sea, you can't see anything...ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
As a temporary tour guide, Zhang Yingying's mental state was not very good. She yawned continuously and almost fell asleep while lying on the railing. This was not just because she didn't sleep well, but also partly because she witnessed a superhuman-level battle at close range last night.
, damaged the mind.
This is what His Majesty Emperor Wu said.
In Zhang Yingying's opinion, the more important factor was the laborious communication with a certain "moo-a-moo" bull-headed monster.
At this time, the "Dark Dragon God" was trying his best to curl up into a ball and hide in the shadow between the deck and the cabin. If you only look at the exposed half of it, it really looks like a well-behaved baby cow...
…
The problem is, Zhang Yingying will never think so: "This guy is very good at pretending to be stupid. I have never seen anyone pretending to be stupid and making himself stupid! I don't know what I ask! Others use it."
You're doing an experiment, you don't know what happened to you, what's the joke?"
"The more you know,
The sooner you die, there is nothing wrong with this." Ronan responded casually.
Last night, Ronan and Niu Gui actually didn't communicate much.
The "mica" used in his experiment was directly scrapped by the "coward" and needed to be rebuilt, which took him a lot of time.
As for Bancheng, with the gradual restoration of the soul cloak, he has a direct observation perspective, which makes it easier for Yin Le to collect relevant information. It is enough to just listen to the cow ghost's revelations. Why should he be limited to his family's words?
Zhang Yingying let the gossip mind take the lead: "According to Niu Gui, the 'devil' pretending to be Matsudaira Yoshio used it as an experimental container to do some complicated research. As for what...belief system? Bamboo pole
He should really like this, he has been doing research in this area in recent years."
"Well, I have read Brother Zhugan's paper."
"The one with the bamboo pole is from the perspective of the social hierarchy of the religious order. As for this one, I feel like he also wants to 'become a god'."
"Where does the word 'ye' come from?" Ronan disagreed, "The definition of 'god' on earth is too broad. At best, they are just some social experiments. Like Mr. 'Devil', the Dazai Cult is him
The experimental environment set up is also a verification tool..."
"Tsk, can you understand the vague words of this baby cow?"
"If you don't listen, you will understand better."
"Um?!"
Zhang Yingying is not an idiot. The implication of Ronan's words made her eyebrows rise instantly, and her sharp gaze was directed towards her. In fact, her cultivation level was weaker than that of Niu Gui, but she didn't have that fox.
As for Tiger's words, Niu Gui, who was some distance away from them, was subconsciously excited, and the Niu's face showed a simple and careful "smile".
Ronan's conclusion does have nothing to do with what Niu Gui said. Most of it comes from his own observations. At his level of cognition, it is still a bit difficult to be worldly. There are some objective traces and clues that can be seen at a glance. There is really no secret.
Word.
"At present, the belief structure system brought out by Ushiki does not have many traces of manual intervention. At least the fake Mr. Matsudaira Yoshio did not do this. He seems to be more inclined to verify it on a realistic level.
"I also heard when I was in Sakai that he made the distortion laboratory so prosperous that he insisted on intervention... Hey, Lord Dark Dragon God."
Ronan turned around and said hello from afar.
Niu Gui stood up and crawled over: "Moo Moo, boss, you are too polite. Just call me Xiao Niu. I won't pick on Agui or anything like that..."
Zhang Yingying put her hand on her forehead, and Meng Chong had already hid far away, lest he could not control his emotions and commit an honor killing.
Ronan was at peace with himself. In his opinion, although the word "cow" was attached to the word "cow", the cow ghost was not honest at all. Instead, the word "ghost" was very appropriate. The word "ghost" refers to monsters and monsters. Ronan did not care about such a guy.
There is so much to consider.
"You said that the fake Yoshio Matsudaira used very vicious methods on you to coerce you into doing things for him."
"Yes, the abbot of the shrine has also become a puppet. It is a real puppet. I don't know how he was made. He has to be replaced every once in a while..."
"However, you still ran out. You said it was because the Amaterasu Order wanted to attack you. The methods of the two sides interfered with each other, but they accidentally relieved you. Specifically,
You can’t explain the details.”
"I really don't know, I really don't know, I don't understand that!"
"We believe you for the moment. But you also need to explain why after you escaped, you dared to contact them in turn and coerce the Daze Cult to sell ships and factories to support your expenses?"
"What's wrong, I look like this, what can I spend!" Niu Gui looked aggrieved, "You have also seen that I have been sleeping in the open air all the way, and my meat is almost salty after soaking in the sea, how can I have any expenses?
?How to spend it? That guy must be using my name to resell the church property!"
"You mean, he saw you, the most important experimental subject, running away, so he started to clean up and was no longer ready to play?"
"Uh, yes, it must be like this...?"
The tail tone of Niu Gui suddenly weakened and was still waving. Because at this moment, Ronan reached out and held down its head.
Ronan didn't exert any effort, just like some sects pray by laying hands on the head, rubbing the head for blessing, or simply touching the pet's head - the fur of the cow ghost is warm, slightly downy, and feels good to the touch.
However, compared to Ronan, Niu Gui's feelings are more direct and more difficult to describe.
It was still a little confused at first, but soon, its forehead, shoulders, and even its entire body began to tremble involuntarily. Especially when it saw Ronan's eyes that couldn't identify the emotional trend, this reaction was no matter what.
I can't control it either.
"Moo moo moo, let me add a few words..."
Before I could turn around, a strange feeling slowly penetrated from the top of my head - it was indeed penetrated, as if there was a slightly cool airflow, ignoring the barrier between the scalp and the skull, blowing directly into the skull from the outside world.
It was also at this time that some debris slid down from the top of its head. That texture...
No matter what, Niu Gui is still the "Dark Dragon God" who has been worshiped for many years, and his sensory ability is also very strong. After the initial panic and trance, the situation above his head naturally reflected in his heart.
"Mo... horn!"
On top of its head, the pair of horns, which were about the length of an adult's hand, disintegrated inexplicably, leaving not even a single stubble left!
This is normal, because the "disintegration" trend has not stopped at all. After the horns are removed, it smoothly and naturally affects its scalp and below...the skull has begun to sizzle!
So there is really wind, the sea breeze is blowing in, blowing into its brain!
"Uh uh uh……"
Niu Gui's whole body was shaking, but at the same time he was as hard as a sculpture. There were no sentences in his throat at all, only vague syllables jumped out, spurting out together with snot and tears.
Ronan let go of his hand, but the "disintegration" phenomenon he had created continued and steadily spread to the bottom of Niu Gui's skull.
Zhang Yingying next to her was holding her breath unconsciously.
"Two reasons."
Ronan raised two fingers in front of Niu Gui: "First, I am now thinking about how to negotiate with people. As the saying goes, the mall is like a battlefield. I have fought in a war, but how do I face the enemy on the other side of the negotiation table?
I'm not too familiar with it yet, so it shouldn't be my problem if you automatically bump into me and play a role.
"Second, the new ability I just realized yesterday needs someone to practice with. You are also very proactive here. Thank you in advance... If you don't master the fire well, please understand."
