Human beings are always accustomed to pursuing commonalities, from beings of the same kind to things, and even understanding and awakening. Human beings are always inclined to look for entities with similar principles or similar concepts to gain understanding and understanding.
They will brag about it, they will support it.
They advocate the so-called unity of nature and man, and use self-perceived commonalities to comfort themselves and force themselves to attach another unrelated thing.
What on earth do I want to say?
What I want to say is that we are similar existences now.
——Naya
"The vital signs are good and the superpower values are stable. Next, we will conduct actual combat-related tests..."
"There is no abnormality in the connection between magic power and origin. Codename is "Shadow Yao", Naya, ready to start testing..."
Butterflies dotted with golden light and black holes were flying and gliding in the test site. On the instruments behind the glass cover, almost all test values showed huge fluctuations.
Especially regarding the spatially related values of "dark" elements.
"She got a big deal."
"At present, it seems that I have been "calculated"."
In the audience, the witch Xi Nian, who was supported by Qianhe, sat next to her beloved disciple. Looking at her disciple Lin Shuwen who finally separated from her best friend, there was some kindness and blessing in her eyebrows.
"You have grown into an adult. How does it feel?"
"After being squeezed for a full day and a half, my kidneys are still a little weak and painful, but the most important thing is here."
Lin Shuwen opened his palms and used the power of the outer god's "darkness" to condense a small black hole. But unlike the previous stability, the black hole now emitted tiny particles and halos.
It's like being in an unstable state.
"Although I can't give a definite conclusion, judging from the current feeling, this appearance may be the original appearance of this power."
"Is it unstable?"
"It's an invisible thing, so why do you need to force it into a state?"
Xi Nian stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of Lin Shuwen's head, which was lowered in thought, a few times, full of kindness.
"Shuwen..."
"Yes, Master Xi Nian!"
Lin Shuwen put away the black hole in his palm and turned his body towards Xi Nian, ready to listen to the teachings.
"Xiao Yuan, from now on, I will leave it to you. I can no longer stop your future choices, whether you are fickle or care about one thing at the expense of the other, but there is only one thing. If one day Xiao Yuan returns home alone or comes to me crying,
Even if I risk my life, I will take a few pieces of your flesh and blood!"
"No, there will be that day, unless I..."
"Shut up! Do you think that after you die, this witch can't do anything to you?"
Xi Nian finally showed his usual evil smile of a witch. Compared with the old woman's kind and weathered look just now, this look made Lin Shuwen and Qianhe feel more friendly.
"But I remember hearing a Taoist friend say that although zombies can't excrete things, their energy and physical strength are several times that of humans. Under the spell she studied, the one she raised basically made her life better every day.
It’s very “fulfilling”, when it really comes to that moment…”
"Ahem, any more would be inappropriate for children. Master, she has a weak body. After I gave her a bath, she is still resting on the bed in the room. I really can't bear to do it two or three times."
Lin Shuwen blushed and scratched his cheek. He looked like a big boy for his age, which surprised Qianhe.
In his consistent impression, Lin Shuwen's behavior and demeanor are generally dozens of years older than him.
"Haha, early this morning I heard the housekeeper say that the sewer was a little blocked, saying it was blocked by a group of butterflies. After cleaning it carefully, my dear, it's all yours..."
"Cough cough cough... stop talking, it's too shameful."
The blush burned to Lin Shuwen's collarbone. Under the slim-fitting black T-shirt with an open placket, the empty neck suddenly flashed through Xi Nian's mind.
a thought.
Maybe it was a sudden whim, maybe it was a hidden hint.
"One day, I will make you a necklace. At that moment, a voice asked me to do it."
"Yes, yogurt?"
"Maybe, but since you have chosen such a path, as a master, I will respect your choice and try my best to help you go further on this path."
Xi Nian took out the key-shaped silver reverse cross representing Yog-Sothoth from his arms, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at the "key handle" composed of three superimposed light sphere reliefs with a complicated expression.
"The past is unavoidable. Even now, since the things that belong to me have come, all I can do is face them."
"But now you, and I, will always be with you to face it together."
Qianhe leaned down and whispered softly into the ear of Xi Nian, his adoptive mother and lover. Xi Nian smiled slightly, turned her head and kissed his lips.
"Be careful, that woman."
"I always understood."
Xi Nian nodded with satisfaction, stood up from his seat, hugged Qianhe's arm, and left with him.
Lin Shuwen turned his attention back to the test site. In the empty site, several spatial cracks that had been shrinking and collapsing were being repaired bit by bit.
He opened his palms, and the dark power that originally remained at the edge of the crack was absorbed into the shadows around the field.
Finally, the originally slow repair progress was completed in an instant, and the space returned to a stable state again.
"The test data is completely recorded. Regarding the arrangement of "Shadow Yao", it is recommended to practice alone, and it is prohibited to use the power of "darkness" when "Wind" is not present."
"Okay~"
Naya stretched out and agreed to the tester's suggestion lazily and decadently.
Lin Shuwen stood up from the audience, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the next important location.
Today is the day when Aike comes back from field training.
"arts!!!"
Aike, who was carrying large and small bags, got down on all fours and rushed towards the longing man at the end of the corridor.
Lin Shuwen squatted down and opened his arms towards Aike, who had grown to about 1.5 meters tall without realizing it.
"Wen! I miss you so much!!"
"Be good! Be good! I miss Ike too!"
He stood up, hugged Aike who was locked to him like a sloth bear, patted her back gently, and kissed her gently on the face.
Although the original intention is a father's affection for his daughter, in the face of the shortened height difference that is visible to the naked eye, it is more like a brother's love for his sister.
No one will think about the relationship between men and women, except one person.
"Captain "Wind"!"
Doctor Wu Shixin, who was following closely behind Aike, quickly walked up to the two of them. Lin Shuwen carried Aike to the right side, freeing his left hand to hold his outstretched palm.
"Long time no see. How are you lately? Aike, she didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"
"There is still trouble, but compared to that, I have to report something to you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Lin Shuwen raised his eyebrows, but Aike, who was resting on her right shoulder, wiggled her little nose restlessly, and the little dragon horn inserted in the hat kept rubbing against Lin Shuwen's body.
It seemed like I could smell something.
"It's like this, Aike has passed the "Shadow Kill" combat test, and now she... um... is already qualified..."
"who is it?"
"ah?"
The flash of murderous intent made Wu Shixin shudder. He touched his nose and said with some embarrassment:
"It's...a special order from Mr. President."
"Tong Zehai?!"
"arts!"
The murderous intent that broke out again made Aike scream in horror. Lin Shuwen took a few deep breaths and tried his best to suppress his anger.
"I understand that although Aike is already twenty-five years old, the current physiological age of humans is only twelve or thirteen years old. This has already surpassed the development of the dragon clan itself, so...but...but..."
"Please wait a moment."
Lin Shuwen looked solemn, raised his hand and pressed his earphones.
"Lanxin."
"Yes, but it's just a certificate. I have immediately locked her file back to the highest level. No one will move it, I guarantee you."
"The second question is, if we absorb the assets of the Yun family, will we not have something like this happen again..."
"Normally speaking, yes, although it will take some time to recover and function, I assure you..."
"You made two promises, I remember them."
"Well, I'm sorry, Shuwen."
"You don't need to apologize."
After hanging up the earphones, Dr. Wu Shixin, whose legs were already weak, looked at the man in front of him tremblingly, who could already be described as terrifying. He suddenly felt a strong intention to retreat.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Wu Shixin, will the next step be a daily physical examination? Also, my body has undergone some changes recently. To be on the safe side, please make extra preparations for blood transmission."
"Yes, I understand……"
Watching Wu Shixin go away, Lin Shuwen's arms holding Aike strengthened slightly.
"arts."
"arts!"
"arts!!!"
"What's wrong?"
After calling three times, he finally managed to squeeze out a smile. Lin Shuwen twisted his muscles and looked at Aike tenderly in his arms.
"On you..."
"ah……"
"...It smells like other females!"
"ah?!"
"You went to have sex with other females without telling me, right!!!"
"Ah~?!!!!!!"
Finally, Lin Shuwen's thoughts entered a semi-dead state due to the violent impact.
Half an hour later, Wu Shixin, who connected Lin Shuwen's blood transfusion equipment, put on a mask and stretched his legs to sit on the chair next to his bed.
Through the glass on one side, Lin Shuwen looked very clearly at Ai Ke, who was staring at the other side with solemn eyes.
"I entrusted Aike to you and even taught her hunting and survival skills. You should know why, right?"
"I understand that neither you nor I want this suffering child to go into another hell, at least, not now."
Wu Shixin lowered his head, and even though he was wearing a mask, his guilt and self-blame overflowed throughout the laboratory.
"You know, if someone informs everyone in this base that Aike has become an official member of "Shadow Kill" right now, all I need to do is raise my arms and I can form a death squad to fight against the Chinese government."
Lin Shuwen took a breath and said as if talking to himself:
"When a country needs young children, even children who have been harmed by the country itself, to go to the battlefield to protect those fat-bellied adults sitting in the wine pond and meat forest, the country has entered a countdown to its demise."
"Of course, I wouldn't mind setting the countdown to zero myself."
"I believe that Lord "Old Dragon", the guardian beast of the country, once came to the training base. After learning about this matter, it was as angry as you and could not be restrained."
Wu Shixin pressed his head, gritted his teeth and said:
"But it chose to be patient for the sake of more innocent people."
"Doctor Wu Shixin..."
Lin Shuwen turned his head, his scarlet pupils reflected Wu Shixin's trembling body:
