Chapter 22 Section 21

The scene was a bit interesting, and I fought back the headache: "What's down there? Why does my head hurt just looking at me?" Da Zhang answered: "Your uncle! I thought you guys had some great secret. You just raised a big toad for us to see. It's enough." Sister Hu and Shopkeeper Sui were not angry at our complaints. Shopkeeper Sui looked at us: "There is confusion and doubt. It is the same as when I came to this place 20 years ago. This is normal. What you need now is to listen!" And Sister Hu went to the back hall, as if to get something. We looked at Xiaotian, hoping that this 091 history expert could explain it to us, but Sister Tian just sighed and didn't say a word.

I feel a lot more relaxed. It seems that there is no trouble. Let's wait. I really can't figure it out. It's always okay if we go outside the mountain to apply for some explosives or something. It's a small matter. At this time, Sister Hu had already returned, and a map of animal skins was spread out in front of us, and Da Zhang and I hurriedly stretched our heads to look at it. After a couple of glances, I pulled my head back. I couldn't understand it at all. I just understood a sketch of a lizard, and the rest were messed up, not as good as kindergarten children's graffiti.

And Oda seemed to have found the treasure, and looked at it carefully, exclaiming from time to time: "Oh, so that's how it is, it's too exaggerated!" Dazhang and I were in a fog, wondering. "The so-called Zhishan City is not its real name. It was originally called Zhenyan City! As the name suggests, it is a city of suppressing mirage!" Sister Hu finally spoke. "A mirage, a mirage, do you know why it's called a mirage?" Shopkeeper Sui continued, and the two seemed to be singing along. At this moment, Da Zhang’s nostrils seem to be blocked with stones, and he will never be able to pick them out: “Well, isn’t it because of the weather, if we take the city here into the sky, we can see it thousands of miles away, it’s just a small trouble.”

"The so-called mirage. According to legend, a mirage is a huge monster that will transform into a city and devour travelers passing by. Of course, this is just a legendary thing." Oda is quite familiar with various legends. "Yes! What you said is not wrong at all. What we are suppressing is the legendary mirage! This is the city that suppresses the mirage!" Sister Hu looked at us. Da Zhang disdains: "If you raise a big toad, you will tell your brothers that it is the city of town mirages. You are about to catch up with the storytellers under the overpass." Sister Hu pointed to a small dot on the lizard on the animal skin map: "This position is our position, you should feel the size of that thing once!"

I looked at the map: "What do you mean?" "It means that this monster used to be several kilometers in size!" Shopkeeper Sui told us truthfully, "Thousands of years ago, our ancestors had a war with such a monster. , It was so huge at that time! Although the ancestors trapped the monster, they couldn't kill it, so they arranged for garrisons to station here, built the city, and used black mandala flowers to absorb its energy continuously until it gradually grow old and die." "Make it up! Continue to make it up!" Da Zhang laughed. Shopkeeper Sui gave him a wide-eyed look: "I'm not in the mood to make it up for you, but do you know how those monster-like mountain charms come from?"

"I don't know, I know I'm still talking nonsense with you here?" Da Zhang still dismissed it. "When I went down to the ground just now, did you see those purple floating objects?" Sister Hu continued. "I see, it's just a little blocked my nose, nothing special." "This monster has various ways to kill people. One of them is to secrete such a purple substance. It is not pollen, but seeds, the seeds of biological weapons! Once the purple dust is attached to the human body, the seeds will It will grow and germinate in the human body until it turns the human into a monster like a mountain charm." Shopkeeper Sui continued.

I felt uncomfortable when I heard it: "You took us down, isn't this murdering us? Are you trying to turn the two of us into monsters like that? Why, there is no defense here recently?" "That's not the case. The bloodlines of the two of you are protected by the ancient gods, and they are not affected by that seed, and the seed will be destroyed when it comes into contact with the black mandala flower, so you are Absolutely safe!" Sister Hu quickly explained to us. "Don't tell these two idiots! I'm so anxious, let me tell!" Oda was quite helpless for our ignorance.

Da Zhang looked at Xiao Tian: "Well, Sister Tian, ​​it's up to you. Damn it, I don't understand!" "The so-called mirage is the thing suppressed under this city. That thing has no bones, it's just a lump of flesh. It has life. I don't know if it's natural or man-made. It's also a weapon! It has various abilities: One is to transform into a huge city, devouring the world! The second is to secrete mysterious substances, transforming human beings into monsters like mountain charms! The third is that it used to be quite huge, and the cave we went down was in the shape of a huge lizard! Our ancestors have always been Guarding here, for thousands of years, using the black mandala flower to absorb its energy until it becomes the size of a baby before it can die completely! This is the function of this city! And the black mandala flower is exactly the monster's Nemesis, its floral fragrance and pollen can decompose the seeds secreted by this monster, and its rhizomes can continuously absorb the energy of the mirage, causing it to die in a deep sleep state!" Oda briefly explained this matter to us.

Since Sister Tian has said it, we naturally believe it, but I still don't believe in the power of the big toad underground: "Is it so exaggerated? Let's go to the mountain to get some explosives, a little, and it's over? You are stationed here for thousands of people. year, as for it?" "As for! This monster cannot be killed by ordinary means. Even if it is blown to pieces, as long as any tissue is not killed, it will regenerate, and the regeneration speed is beyond our imagination. Although the black mandala flower absorbs It has energy for thousands of years, but once it is stimulated, it will devour anything, and if it wants to recover to a body that is several kilometers long, it will definitely not take more than a day! It can destroy this piece of land!" Shopkeeper Sui seemed to agree This stuff is well researched.

I shook my head: "Since you have done such a good job, what do you want us to do? Isn't it over when it dies? I don't understand." "This huge black mandala flower organization has a life cycle. Every 20 years, it will show signs of weakening. The guardians of the mirage will gather here. The city you see in the sky is transformed by the mirage. Originally, they couldn't break through the black mandala flower array, but the flower array in the weakening period can't break through. There is no way to stop it. Recently, a large number of mountain spirits will gather nearby. Their purpose is to rescue this monster! This monster will grow wildly if it is stimulated by any means, until it returns to its previous huge body. The protection is in vain! This country and even the world will be impacted, and everyone within a thousand miles will become its food or turn into monsters like Shanmei!" Sister Hu told us her purpose.

"Damn it! How did you do this job? Didn't the purple seeds have been melted away by the fragrance of the flowers? Why are there still ghosts haunting the mountain?" Da Zhang's jaws were already out of joint. Shopkeeper Sui sighed: "Oh! Originally, this thing was going to die, and I didn't need to bother you monkey bastards, but there was an accident here when the Datura flower was weak 20 years ago..." "The Japanese have been here!" I answered, because I have read the report of shopkeeper Sui. Although the specific content is unknown, there is a story. Obviously, shopkeeper Sui was not surprised when we learned about his past, he lit a cigarette, took a puff slowly: "Yes, Ito Hideki, the 405th unit of the Japanese Southward Dispatch Army, belongs to the notorious Unit 731, biological research unit!" We all know that Unit 731 is a Japanese secret force that studies viruses, but we never expected that they would reach out here. "You are agents, I am an agent, and those Japanese are the same, and this Hideki Ito seems to have quite a strange ability, I almost fell into the hands of that person back then." Shopkeeper Sui stood up, as if recalling 20 years ago I have lingering fears. "Oh? What kind of ability? Is it more dangerous than the Penglai monster?" I don't think this arrogant Sui Tianzuo will be so scrupulous about anyone. "Heterogeneous, even among those of us with supernatural powers, he is also a different kind!" "What?" I stared at shopkeeper Sui, his eyes seemed a little confused. "Perhaps you all know that the so-called supernatural power is just that our body structure is different from ordinary people, and we have strange abilities. I have strength in body, and Lei Tianming has strength in brain. As for the two of you, you don't have supernatural abilities at all, but you do. With the blood of our ancestors, I can understand your thoughts and even control your actions! It can be said that we once belonged to a system, I was the superior, and you were the subordinates. This is how our blood is passed down, and this explains our relationship You don't deny it, do you?" Dazhang and I nodded, and I seemed to understand why this person was able to catch our tails even though everything was meticulous in our internal secrecy, because to him, Dazhang and I were like two fireflies in the dark night , at a closer distance, he can feel it. Shopkeeper Sui got up and walked back and forth in the room: "Although Hideki Ito is a person with the same abnormal ability, he is absolutely not under my control! It is completely outside the system, without any rules!" "Ah? How is this possible?" I was shocked! "That's right, I can't call him a human being, his ability is similar to that of Sister Hu in front of me, the curser!"
