Dragon slayers and dragons hooking up????
Chapter 119
"......"
The Toki family watched as Mu Hang stepped forward, reaching out to take Shi An into his arms in an extremely natural way, lowering his head to kiss the teenager's cheek and asking in a low voice, "Tired?"
Shi An brought most of her body weight closer to the other's arms and nodded vigorously:
"Uh-huh."
He was originally a very lazy dragon, able to sit instead of standing, able to lie instead of sitting, a sleep can sleep for tens of thousands of years kind of sleep.
This time, the days of having a human to carry him when he went out were too pleasant, which greatly stimulated Shi An's innate inertia.
"Walking is so tiring." Shi An complained.
He thought for a moment, adding:
"I'd better turn back into a dragon later so you can hug me."
Mu Hang hooked his lips, his voice low, with a little unconscious tenderness:
"Good."
The Timbers: ".................."
They had fallen into a state of extreme trance-like stupor, and could scarcely believe their eyes and ears.
What just happened? What's going on here?
Mu Hang knows Shi An is ...... a dragon?
And ......
Looks like ......
Dragonslayer hooks up with dragons ?????
Mu Hang turned his head to look at the mountain of treasures, and raised his eyebrows, "Yours?"
"Right."
Shi An only then remembered the activity he had just carried out halfway, he looked towards the Toki family's father and son, who were not far away, dumbfounded, and a hint of appalling hostility swept through the depths of his pair of golden-red dragon pupils as he gritted his teeth and said, "This group of thieves!"
Mu Hang looks thoughtfully at the gilded treasures.
He once remembered that Zhuo Fu had told him that although the Shi family was a family that had just risen during this period of time, their financial strength was exceptionally rich, probably because of the support of these dragon treasures behind them.
Add to that, the fact that the summoning of the dragon was manipulated from start to finish by the organization of the black-robed man, and the source of the treasure is self-evident.
"These humans have not only gotten their filthy hands on my treasure, but they have even trafficked, abused, and wasted it!"
The gold and silver treasures piled up into a mountain in front of them were even the ones they had not had the chance to use!
Shi An was getting more and more angry, flames rising under his eyes, "I was just about to play a little game with them when you just came in."
The teenager gave a harmless smile:
"That way he might remember to sell my treasure there."
Shi Zechun subconsciously shivered when he came into contact with Shi An's line of sight.
Wet, cold sweat seeped out of his back, wetting his shirt in an instant and sticking to his spine in a sticky mess.
Mu Hang dropped a pair of blue eyes and frowned slightly:
"Playing games?"
The man's voice was low, his tone flat without much fluctuation, but it sounded as if he didn't quite agree.
A faint glimmer of hope rose in Shi Zechun's heart.
Yes, after all, Mr. Mu is still a member of the Demonic Administration.
As a human, he wouldn't have seen death and let this evil dragon torture them, would he?
It was at that moment that I heard the other party continue to ask:
"Not too tired?"
Shi Zechun: "......"
Wait, wait?
"And that would be inefficient." Mu Hang added faintly, "Humans will say anything under duress of fear and pain, but the truth of a secret is harder to guarantee."
He raised his eyes, his deep and icy vision falling on the Shi family head not far away, his voice indifferent:
"I'm sure he has a lot of secrets he wants to pour out."
The dealings with the infidels, the flying fortune, the vain death of his wife, the sacrifice of his firstborn son.
These are best left to the professionals.
The moment he heard Mu Hang's words, Shi Zechun felt his eyes darken, his last shred of hope was replaced by despair, and his body's strength seemed to have been drained in an instant, and he fell to the ground as if he were a puddle of mud.
Done.
It's over, it's over, it's over.
This is really over ......
While this was happening, Mu Hang's communicator rang and he looked down.
The message was from Zhuo Fu.
He reported the dissimilarities in various places throughout the continent.
Apparently, the upper echelon of Administration also realized the crisis and reacted quickly by holding an emergency meeting.
*
The Shi family and their son have been taken away by Mu Hang's men, and awaiting Shi Zechun will be an interrogation by professionals.
And his son, Shi Rui, faces an equally dire situation.
The communicator he had previously given to the Administration had been decrypted and most of the data recovered, and the technicians had discovered that while a small portion of the contact had been infidel-led, a large portion had been initiated by Shi Rui himself.
It involves not only the murder of his half-brother, but also the invasion of the Ability Academy and the murder of old Principal Pei that happened some time ago.
And the treasures in the cave were finally returned to their owners.
Satisfied, Shi An retrieved them into her pouch before heading back to Mu's house.
Mu Hang, on the other hand, was in a hurry to get to Administration for the meeting.
On the top floor of the Administration Building is the Emergency Conference Hall, where the ceiling, floor, and walls are made of cold metal, and the silver-gray coloring is solemn and somber.
In the center of the room was a huge round table, with distinct left and right sides.
The round table was filled to capacity, a rarity in the entire history of the Administration.
There are two systems in the upper tier of Administration.
There are five directors, divided into five zones in the continent, basically from the ancient and powerful families in each region, they are mainly responsible for investment and management, rarely involved in the specific operation of Administration, basically will not appear except for major events.
And the external system has the same five.
The Director of Administration is responsible for overseeing the overall direction of the Administration, while the remaining four individuals lead each of the four main departments of the Administration.
Combat Section, Research Institute, Technical Department, Logistics Department.
Among these four departments, the Combat Section and the Research Institute had the largest volume, and the remaining two departments were more for support and cooperation work, so these two departments had a higher status and more power.
The remaining nine were already seated when Mu Hang arrived.
He nodded coldly at the crowd before he made his way to the seat that belonged to him.
The Director of Administration is a middle-aged man who cannot tell his age.
He had long sideburns, a gray-on-white beard, and his eyes were the same iron-gray color, and he looked very serious.
The Director coughed lightly and stood up, "Since everyone is here, let the meeting begin."
Zhuo Fu briefly recounted the abnormalities detected by the Institute during this recent period, the sample of the spider demonic creature, the intelligence it provided, the Blood Moon, and the guesses they made based on this intelligence to the people present.
Lowered whispers resounded in all directions, and everyone's expression became grave.
Mu Hang narrowed a pair of inscrutable eyes, his sight silently skimming over the bodies of those in the seat.
One of the sector chiefs snapped, "A blood moon? The blood moon hasn't appeared in at least 10,000 years, how can you be sure it will appear in a week's time?"
Zhuo Fu said, "Don't worry, we have exact sources and evidence to back it up, if you need it, I can send you data on the abnormal fluctuations in the continent's magical power caused by the high-frequency emergence of the Abyssal Rift in the recent year, I hope you have enough time to read these reports."
The questioner choked and resentfully stopped asking questions.
"In short, we have reason to believe that that pagan organization that the Administration has been vigilantly monitoring for years is preparing to launch its next attack, and has most likely already finished setting up the attack, and based on the intelligence we've received so far, the odds are that it's in order to cause a continent-wide demonic riot that will spark an all-out war between humans and demons. " Zhuo Fu continued.
The conference room was momentarily quiet for a split second.
"No, it's more than that."
The Central District Officer, who hadn't said a word since a moment ago, spoke up to break the silence.
He was the oldest in the entire conference room, with white hair and long beard, a furrowed face and a pair of wise, deep gray eyes.
His surname was Pei, and he belonged to the same family as the former principal of the Ableist Academy, and he was the highest in the room in terms of both seniority and status.
As he spoke, the others respectfully shut their mouths and stopped interjecting.
"Ever since my older brother's death, I've been researching and reading all the old documents related to that organization, trying to find some clues in them." He coughed softly, a look of deep pain swept across his gray eyes, but it was quickly restrained:
"But unexpectedly, I found far more than I expected."
"All of you should also be well aware that since 40,000 years ago, the fantasy species on the continent began to slowly decrease until they are extinct today.
But this is not a natural choice; it is human-enabled."
Sounds of backward gasps rang out in all directions.
The crowd looked at each other half-heartedly, seeing the same shock in each other's eyes.
What ......?
"We used to think that the Abyss and the continent were mutually exclusive, just as day and night, positive and negative, yin and yang, but this was proven wrong by ancient alchemy; in fact, the Abyss is far older and more powerful than the continent, and to be more precise, it's the source of the continent's magical power, and the Fantasy Species are powerful precisely because their veins originate more or less from the Abyss. "
The Central Sector Chief cleared his throat and continued slowly:
"Until later, mankind found a way to be able to block the abyss and the continent forever, after sealing the abyss, the continent will naturally become independent, the source flow of the fantasy species sustaining power is cut off, with the passage of time, this generation naturally fails and dies, but the next generation can not be catalyzed, so it is naturally disappeared. "
He raised his eyes to the crowd in front of him and said in a pale voice:
"It's true that they're trying to start an all-out war between humans and demons, but those demons don't just include the continent-"
The crowd was stunned by this conclusion.
An ominous premonition began to surface in the mind.
Only to hear the old man continue--
"They want to break the seal and reconnect the Abyss with the continent."
*
The Mu family.
Shi An transformed back into a palm-sized Little dragon, flopped down on his own big bed, and began to take a serious inventory of his current treasure trove.
Now the treasure of the Shi family is recovered, in addition to all kinds of precious jewelry scavenged from the Mu family ......
Plus some additional income has also greatly expanded his inventory.
Seeing the number of treasures in his bag increase little by little, and the once lost treasures come back to him, Shi An felt immense relief.
Just a shame ......
The treasure laid out by the pagans in the Rust area is still with the Administration for now.
The temporary whereabouts of those treasures in the hands of the mercenaries is unknown.
In addition to this there is some scattered "wear and tear" ......
Shi An sighed sadly, his tail wilted and drooped, the whole dragon listless.
It was at this moment that he sensed the approach of a familiar aura.
Mu Hang is back.
Shi An lifted her eyes to the silver-haired man who had come into the room.
He cocked his head - he didn't know if it was his own fault, but it always felt as if Mu Hang looked a little preoccupied.
Mu Hang leaned over and picked up the silver-white Little dragon from the bed.
Shi An naturally nestled into the crook of the other man's arm, one golden-red eye blinking, "What's wrong?"
Mu Hang shook his head, "Nothing."
He removed his gloves and stroked slowly along Little dragon's spine.
Shi An narrowed her eyes and made a pleasant gurgling sound in her throat.
A man's voice came from overhead:
"What does the abyss look like?"
Shi An thought for a moment, "Well ...... it's mostly dark."
The demons inside were ancient, belligerent and crazy, but they were so afraid of him that they basically didn't want to go near Jean's lair, so it would be quiet and good for sleeping.
"Do you want to go back?"
Mu Hang asked slowly, stroking Little dragon's back.
Shi An hesitated.
If it was before, he would never have hesitated for a second.
After all, his goal all along had been to find all his treasures, regain his strength, and return to the Abyss to continue his long sleep that had lasted for ten thousand years and would continue to last for ten thousand more.
But now ......
For some reason, Shi An found it difficult to make a choice.
Probably still want to, right?
While there were many, many things he liked in the human world, with video games and ice cream, in the end, they were fresh to him for a few hundred years at most, and then after that it was into a long period of boredom and loneliness.
Still sleeping suits him better.
But ......
Shi An lifted her eyes towards the human holding her, a man's face reflected in the depths of her golden-red eyes.
He blinked, lifting a paw and hooking it around the other man's shirt in a serious question:
"Would you like to be taken back by me?"
