The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 28
After Chacha left, Yue Bing sat at the table without moving for a long time.

"Only helping friends... oh..."

She sighed because she understood the meaning of the tea chat.

After clearing away the cups on the table, she also stood up, closed the door, and entered the room.

Hanging in the room is a cyan inner alchemy, which was left to her by her mother.

It has been thousands of years, and it is because of her mother's protection that she has the capital to survive in this world.

She stared blankly at the inner alchemy, with endless sadness on her face.

After a long time, she took Neidan into her body, turned around and picked up the photo frame on the table.

What is embedded in the photo frame is not a photo, but a black and white portrait.

A man with the appearance of a scholar, talking and laughing happily, is in high spirits.

This is what she drew from memory, the appearance of that person.

He is the last clan member in this world, without his protection, perhaps he would not be able to live today either.

"I will always be the object of protection by others, a burden, a person who is useless to others..."

There were two tear streaks across her face, and she knew in her heart that all her future life would probably be spent looking for this person.

"I can only do this, everything has to be..."

She pressed the photo frame tightly to her chest, stopped her tears, and smiled through tears.

A few minutes later, Yue Bing walked out of the ice cream shop and disappeared into the vast night.

On a tall building in the industrial area of ​​the West End, two black figures appeared in the night on the top floor.

"There are still five days to deliver the 'goods'."

"Yes."

"We haven't made any progress yet."

"Follow the plan and wait for my news. If something happens suddenly, you can contact me at any time."

"Yes."

A black shadow disappeared, the wind and clouds moved in the sky, and the moonlight shone dimly on the earth.

Another black shadow stood there for a long time, overlooking the night of the entire city.

The moonlight shone on her face, pure and lovely, like a carefree girl.

After the sky was bright, Yang Yang woke up to Michelle's sweet voice.

He yawned and walked out of the room, only to find that Michelle had prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

Only at this time will he be grateful to Hu Weixian.

The troubles of last night also disappeared in this instant, and he was full, no matter what monster gang or Hu Weixian!

Yang Yang's natural optimism has shown its effect, which is probably the reason why he didn't go crazy after experiencing the "torture" these days.

After breakfast, there was nothing to do all day.

Occasionally delivering a takeaway, he also took it as going out to get some fresh air.

If he hadn't been thinking about the monster gang in his heart, his life would have been exactly as Hu Weixian had promised: good remuneration, easy work, and the company of beauties.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening after dinner, Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu came to the shop.

"Ice Cube Erlong will stay with you today, and I will stay in the base camp to guard."

Yuan Mu patted Yang Yang's shoulder with a smile, pointed to Wu Zhongwu behind him and said.

"Let's go, go early."

Yu Zhongwu glanced at Yang Yang, and said without any emotion in her voice.

Yang Yang drooped his head and nodded.

Afterwards, the two took a taxi to the vicinity of Lu Fu's house. Under Yang Yang's persuasion, Yu Zhongwu finally agreed to sit in the fast food restaurant.

If he wanted to, find a dark street corner and squat there.

The scenery outside the window is still the same, and the lights in Lu Fu's room can be seen from a distance.

Dancing in the Rain sat in front of the table like a sculpture, poking his head and staring out motionless.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Yang saw that sitting alone was meaningless.Several times I opened my mouth to find a topic to talk about, but Dancing in the Rain always acted as if I didn't hear it at all.

When he was bored, Yang Yang had a sudden thought: I haven't seen this guy's body yet.

What kind of monster could it be?

This guy is so cold, is it a penguin?Or a polar bear?

Maybe it's a cold-blooded animal, but it looks like a snake.

Yang Yang made various guesses in his mind, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that the snake was more in line with Dancing in the Rain's temperament.

"Okay, let me take a look, what is the real identity of this guy."

While making up his mind, he secretly pulled down his glasses.

Looking across the frame, Yang Yang stared at Yu Zhongwu for a few seconds, and the expressionless face in front of him slowly began to change.

After a while, a huge dragon appeared in front of him.

With two wings on its back, a scaly body with spines, a big head and a long snout, its body is exactly the same as the common dragon in the portraits.

Yang Yang was startled, no wonder that guy Yuan Mu kept talking about "ice cube dragon", it turned out that Dancing in the Rain is really a giant dragon!
This look made him a little overwhelmed.As a descendant of a native dragon, the worship of the dragon has been ingrained in his blood since his ancestors.

"Ok?"

Yu Zhongwu seemed to have noticed the strange look on Yang Yang's face, frowned slightly, and looked at him coldly.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be the most powerful, hey..."

Yang Yang made some calculations in his mind, although he didn't know how to divide the strength of monsters.But now that he knows that there is a giant dragon, those foxes and long snakes are no longer popular in his opinion.

Yu Zhongwu thought for a while, and probably understood that he had seen her own body, so she snorted coldly and said nothing.

Perhaps it was really because of the admiration for the dragon in his heart, Yang Yang felt that Dancing in the Rain had become a little more intimate at this time.

"Then what, what benefits can Hu Weixian give you, can you help him carry out the task?"

Yang Yang rubbed his hands, but couldn't find any topics. After a long time, he searched for the questions he had asked before.

"The advantage is that you can kill people during this mission."

Yu Zhongwu gave him a cold look, with a rare smile on his lips.

But this smile appeared on his cold face, it could freeze people to death.

Yang Yang giggled a little bit awkwardly, and asked again: "Well, I mean, you, or including Yuan Mu and the others, seem to listen to that guy Hu Weixian. Is he better than you?"

Dancing in the Rain looked outside, as if she didn't hear it.

Yang Yang waited for a long time, just when he thought that Bing Cua Erlong didn't want to talk to him anymore, Yu Zhongwu suddenly turned around and looked at him with complicated eyes.

"You know, who should you listen to most in this world?"

"Huh? This, the Secretary-General of the United Nations?"

Yang Yang was a little confused by his sudden question, and even blurted out something that he thought was funny.

Yu Zhongwu didn't smile, she still had a serious look on her face, staring at Yang Yang's face firmly.

Because Yang Yang was flustered, he didn't notice the complicated look in his eyes.

"It's the one who bears the responsibility."

After a long time, Yu Zhongwu sighed slowly and said something softly.

"In this world, what is most lacking are selfish pleasure-seekers, but what is most needed are those who are willing to take responsibility."

Yang Yang was completely dumbfounded when he heard that, why does he feel that the world of monsters seems to be more complicated than that of humans?
In his original cognition, monsters are nothing more than some guys with super strength.Their world is the law of the jungle, simple and rude.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Yu Zhongwu looked into his eyes and continued to explain: "Strength may make others submit, but it cannot gain their respect. Maybe one day you will understand that this world no longer needs You are dead, what kind of pain is it?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and continued to look at Lu Fu's house outside.

But Yang Yang didn't recover for a while.

When he said those words, Wu Zhongwu was still an ordinary-looking, somewhat gloomy and delinquent boy.

But every word and every word in Yang Yang's ears was like Hong Zhong Da Lu and Jiu Xiao Long singing.

"Responsible Person……"

Yang Yang recalled what Yu Zhongwu said just now, but a giant dragon with two wings on its back and unable to soar into the sky kept appearing in his mind.

He suddenly thought of the "Shan Hai Jing" he had read in school. There was an illustration in it, which seemed to be such a giant dragon.

Yinglong!

He finally recalled that Wu Zhongwu's appearance was almost exactly the same as that of Yinglong described in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

Yinglong once killed Chiyou, beheaded Kuafu, and fought against the great witch.Later, due to excessive consumption of strength, he was unable to return to Jiutian.

At the time of Dayu, he reappeared in the world, wiped out the mountains, and helped Dayu control the water and save the world.

"You...you are Ying Long?"

Yang Yang felt a little unbelievable, and couldn't help asking out loud.

The expression on Yu Zhongwu's face did not change at all, and she nodded slightly.

"I am, but the world doesn't need me anymore."

There was no emotion in his tone.

Yang Yang suddenly thought of a word, "There is nothing more sorrowful than death."

He finally understood the meaning of Wu Zhongwu's previous words.When a person no longer has responsibility, it may be when he loses himself.

Seeing the change in Yang Yang's expression, Yu Zhongwu knew that he had understood what she said.

"Everyone needs to find their own value, but I only have the fun of killing people."

There was a wry smile on his face, and he no longer looked like a teenager.

Yang Yang didn't know what to say. He knew that his life of more than twenty years might not be enough to understand the monsters who had survived for countless years.

However, he suddenly remembered his lame question from before. With Wu Zhongwu saying this, could it be that Hu Weixian is the "responsible person" he said?
Thinking about it this way, Yang Yang thinks it is quite reasonable, because since he entered this circle, Hu Weixian seems to be responsible for many things.

Both of them fell into silence, one looked out the window and the other bowed his head in thought.

In another place, Chi Dun was also caught in a tangle.

Because, he found another monster!Never seen monsters!I don't know if it's a good monster or not!He looks thinner than himself, smaller than himself, and weaker than himself, a monster that can be easily subdued!
He clearly promised Yang Yang not to make casual moves, but why did his hands and feet start to lose control...
