Chapter 84
"You mean, Xiao Hei is that boy?!" Jiang Qi was a little surprised, she never thought that a kitten she picked up by chance would have such a background. However, as soon as she finished speaking, she thought of the scene where Xiao Hei took the initiative to follow her, and suddenly a reasonable, but in her opinion, absurd idea popped up in her mind, "Then——does that sister have something to do with me?" ?”
Nie Renyan shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know. At that time, that little girl was like an empty shell with only a physical body, and she couldn't see any spirit. However, your guess is indeed very likely."
Jiang Qi's expression was a bit complicated. If it was true, then the current situation would be equivalent to her younger brother turning into a cat and staying with her all the time. Although this sounds unrealistic at all, and in the understanding of ordinary people, it is even very absurd, but now she sees Xiao Hei again, and even her mood is different. However, she nodded at Nie Renyan and said, "If that's the case, it can explain why Xiao Hei, who has never been close to others, would take the initiative to follow me, and his attitude towards you is so special."
However--
"Xiao Hei once followed a boy who looked like a high school student who had just graduated. He was not tall, but he looked white and clean, like a very obedient student..." Jiang Qi recalled Looking at the boy's appearance, he said puzzledly: "But in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary boy, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing special about it. Why does Xiao Hei follow him?"
"When you see the two of us on the street, can you see anything special?" Ye Zhao pointed to himself and Nie Renyan, and said, "There are many things that cannot be seen with the eyes alone."
Jiang Qi blinked her eyes and said solemnly: "The first time I saw you, I thought you were very special!"
Ye Zhao was puzzled: "What's so special?"
"It's very beautiful."
Ye Zhao: "..." Is this girl going to develop in the direction of Luo Xiaochen?
However, this topic has little to do with the current situation. Besides, according to what Nie Renyan said, it has been thousands of years since then, and no matter what, it is a thing of the past. Jiang Qi carried Xiao Hei back to sit on the sofa, While staring at Xiao Hei, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, what happened after I heard that there might be outsiders entering the base?"
Jiang Qi was talking about a few days ago, about a few days after the master and the others built a barrier for the base, there was a place on the east side of the barrier, and the person in charge of standing guard was lured out by an ancient beast outside the barrier. When he died, that person was in charge of watching Something went wrong with the barrier, and the two talismans were inexplicably cracked, causing a loophole in that barrier. Within the range of the loophole, if outsiders, including those ancient beasts, come in, they may achieve the effect of being silent.
If it wasn't for the people on guard who were attracted by the ancient beast, the master and the others probably wouldn't have suspected that someone or something had entered the base through that loophole. After all, when the person on guard left, the talisman paper was inexplicably broken, and a loophole appeared in the barrier. This is too coincidental.
Everyone waited with high vigilance for about a week, but they didn't find any abnormal things happened in the base, let alone any dead or missing people, which made the master and the others rest assured.
"There has been no movement so far. Although everyone should remain vigilant in order to avoid carelessness, but nothing has happened for such a long time. This does not rule out that we are thinking too much, and maybe there is no intrusion at all." The master said to Jiang Qi: "We are still staring at it, nothing will happen for the time being, why, little girl, are you afraid?"
"No." Jiang Qi said: "I'll just ask. But even if someone sneaks in, it's hard to find out, right? After all, there are nearly 10,000 people in the base, and it's impossible for everyone to be familiar with it. Anyway, I can see a few people every day. The face, just like I just saw a teacher who taught me is also at the base the day before yesterday."
"The management of the base must have specific information on the people in the base." Xia Zhiming said, "They are not stupid. It is not a bad thing to manage such a large base without even a record."
"En." The master nodded and said, "Actually, after that day, the base sent someone to check every room in the base, but they found some unremarkable people to check quietly, and everyone may not know. Those high-level people are afraid that everyone will know. After that, the rumors became more and more outrageous in the base, and finally something went wrong, no matter how careful it turned out, it seems that there are still rumors.”
Nie Renyan nodded: "Listen to the tone of your voice, old man, didn't you find out?"
"Yes, two groups of people checked twice, and everyone is registered in the base, and there are no strangers."
"Oh—" Nie Renyan drew the tone, scratched his chin and said, "Why do I think it's those two things?"
"Which two?" the crowd asked.
Ye Zhao continued, "梼杌, Taotie."
"Didn't those two drown?!" Luo Xiaochen's eyes widened, "We watched you throw them directly into the sea, and then the dragon came out and went back. Come out."
"Do you think those two guys are chickens? You can die if you fall?" Nie Renyan twitched the corner of his mouth, "I said, do you know what an ancient beast is?"
Luo Xiaochen: "...what if it is swallowed by that green dragon."
"Is the dragon's brain broken?"
Luo Xiaochen: "..." Well, I'm out of my mind.
"If it's those two, why hasn't there been any movement at the base for so many days?" Xia Zhiming was a little puzzled, "With their temperament, the base should have been turned upside down long ago, but it has been calm for the past few days. What are they here for? Play house ?”
It's a question to ask Nie Renyan, because this is exactly what he can't figure out-according to him and
Judging from the contact between those two, they are definitely the masters who fear the world will not be chaotic, and they are unscrupulous, but recently this has been a bit too peaceful.
However, after they turned into human forms, there was no aura of ferocious beasts at all. Even if Nie Renyan and Ye Zhao stood in front of them, they might not be able to find out their original form under their deliberate cover-up, just as long as Nie Renyan and Ye Zhao themselves Pay attention to hiding when in human form, the two can't feel their breath.
However, their disadvantage now is that both Ye Zhao and Nie Renyan have transformed themselves at the base, and before Ye Zhao could not hide his aura, Taotie still grabbed him. They also recognized his unusualness. This is a typical "I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark".
Therefore, the best way to deal with it now is to find a way to know who the two transformed human figures are. When the strengths of the two sides are similar, only by matching their strengths and weaknesses and truly relying on their strengths will their chances of winning be greater. .
However, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Several people connected all the clues about Taotie and Wuwu in recent years, but found no particularly useful information. In the clip provided by Nie Renyan, those two never play cards according to common sense, their temperaments are very different at different times, cloudy and sunny, and often do some unimaginable things, especially Wuwu, sometimes Nie Renyan has such a moment Not sure which side he was on—
For example, when he was helping Taotie deal with Nie Renyan, sometimes he would suddenly attack Taotie twice like a convulsion. At least Nie Renyan couldn't understand this kind of crazy behavior.
Nie Renyan leaned on the back of the chair, folded his arms, and said lazily: "It is said that if you think too much about crazy things, you will become crazy yourself. Fortunately, I have not had much contact with Wuwu in the past few years. Otherwise it will be dangerous."
Luo Xiaochen twitched the corner of his mouth and turned to look at him: "..." This is really shameless, aren't you crazy enough?
Nie Renyan frowned: "Tsk - what kind of eyes are you looking at!"
Luo Xiaochen turned his face away, and said in a toneless tone: "Ah, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have lived in the Shenjing Bingyuan."→_.→Nie Renyan: "There is a big difference between insanity and mental illness!"
Luo Xiaochen: "Oh really? They have more in common in you." ╮(╯_╰)╭Nie Renyan: "..."
Luo Xiaochen: "So there is no normal beast?"→_.→
"Master, use the roar in your cloth pocket." Ye Zhao calmly coughed and said to the master.
"!!!" Luo Xiaochen, who suddenly realized that his words just now included Ye Zhao, hurriedly said, "No, no, except you!"
Ye Zhao took the master's cloth pocket and stretched his hand into it. After touching it, he came out and carried it towards Luo Xiaochen.
"Except for you! I said everything except for you!... I, I was wrong." qaq
Just when the discussion among the people had no progress or clues, someone knocked on the door and said, "Is the master there? They said you are here."
"What happened again?!" The master's eyelids twitched violently, walked to the door and opened the door aggressively: "Is it too late for the old man to retire now?!"
The person who came to inform: "...Master, it's not bad news. A tree grew out of the base overnight, and its roots were stuck on a dark red stone. This stone was only exposed from the soil yesterday. .In short, it's a bit strange, Master, please go and take a look."
The master's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and almost as soon as the man's words fell, the master turned his head and slapped the stone: "Go! Go and see with the master, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid it's quite a good thing!"
The master's departure interrupted everyone's previous discussion about the identities of Taotie and Zhuowu. Just when Ye Zhao and the others thought this problem was a bit tricky and would take a lot of time, some turning points and clues suddenly appeared.
