Chapter 98 The old acquaintance on Garbage Star "Second Watch"

After that, Si Nian and Quentin didn't stop until they were tired from fighting.

At this time, there was another movement in the alley next door.

After hearing the sound, Xiaoliang quickly turned into a cat beast and jumped over the high wall. Si Nian and Quentin also quickly caught up.

Another pool of blood.

Quentin left Si Nian to look after Xiao Liang, while he searched around, but still found nothing.

Is it really a dark spirit?
Otherwise, what kind of orc can move so fast without leaving any traces?
But no matter who the other party is, committing crimes so frequently and using such brutal methods is too arrogant.

At this time, Xiaoliang spotted a sneaky figure behind the shadow of the garbage bin deep in the alley.

Xiao Mian, let's see if I don't catch you this time!
Xiaoliang raised her hand to signal Si Nian and Quentin not to approach, while she leaned forward and approached quietly.

In the backlight behind the trash can, a group of short black figures were carefully eating the remains of the orcs.

It turned out that this beast-eating monster didn't actually choose to leave, but started eating in the dark?

"Don't move! Otherwise I will attack!"

Xiao Liang gritted her teeth and said fiercely.

Hearing the sudden sound, the other party threw away the "food" in his hand in fright.

Obviously what he ate was covered in blood, but the eyes of the "monster" showed a clumsy and ignorant look because of being frightened, which made Xiao Liang feel that the other party was a little... stupid!

However, this thin and clumsy short-legged appearance made Xiao Liang feel a little familiar.

"Ke Ke? Is that you?" Xiao Liang asked in surprise.

The other party took a closer look at Xiaoliang's pupil color, and said hesitantly, "Are you... the little white cat on Garbage Star?"

"Well, my name is Xiaoliang now."

The other party was very excited to see the old man, but soon, he became a little depressed again.

"It's true that I'm Keke, but now... I'm not even an orc..."

Xiaoliang: "What's going on here? Did you kill those orcs? Are you eating orcs?"

After hearing Xiao Liang's question, Ke Ke was a little flustered. He quickly waved his hands and denied:
"No no! I don't have that ability. I just follow others and pick up some leftovers to eat."

"What's going on here?" Xiao Liang asked.

Ke Ke said: "This is not a suitable place to talk, they will come back anytime..."

So, Si Nian took Xiao Liang and Ke Ke out of Fengsu Street.

And opened two rooms nearby.

One is for Xiao Liang, who has not slept all night, to rest a little, and the other is for taking the one named "Ke Ke" to wash off the blood on his body first.

Quentin was there, of course.

According to Ke Ke:
He was originally a war scum of the short-legged dog clan, and he lived with Xiaoliang on the garbage planet before.

Childhood sweethearts, take care of each other?is impossible.

The food on Junkstar is limited, and it is common for everyone to fight over a pack of leftover biscuits.

When they don't fight, it's not because they give in to each other, but because they simply can't find so many leftover biscuits to fight for.

Therefore, when Ke Ke was alive, his greatest ability was to bully orcs who were weaker than him, such as Xiao Liang.

But the conditions on Garbage Star are really too harsh.

After Xiao Liang was picked up by the scavengers, Ke Ke also failed to survive the cold winter.

Yes, he died.

Being single all year round, I haven't enjoyed the benefits that a male beast should enjoy for a day.

"Then?"

Si Nian suddenly had a bad premonition that Xiaoliang might really encounter a supernatural event in this mission.

On the other hand, Quentin Snow's mind was filled with the ultimate philosophical questions of "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?"

Ke Ke continued:

"After that, I didn't know how I arrived at the legendary Dark Spirit Star.

It's terrible there, but there, I don't have to be hungry anymore, for an orc like me, as long as I leave the garbage planet with no food, anywhere is heaven..."

According to Ke Ke's understanding, there is actually a passage between the dark spirit star and the outside world.

It's just that the channel is usually not open.

Therefore, living orcs cannot enter the dark spirit star, and dead orcs cannot come out of it.

This is why the vast majority of orcs don't know and are unwilling to believe in the existence of the Dark Spirit Star—if they haven't seen it, they think it doesn't exist.

Si Nian asked Ke Ke again:
"Since the dark spirit can't come out from the dark spirit star, how did you appear in the custom street of Emperor Star?"

Ke Ke replied truthfully:

"It's not that there is no chance to come out. Every year during the Dark Souls Festival, everyone can still come out to play for a while.

However, the Spirit King said that if we fail to return to the Dark Spirit Star at zero o'clock, our dark spirits after death will completely disappear into nothingness. "

Si Nian quickly discovered the problem from Ke Ke's words:
"You came out on the day of Dark Souls Day, but you didn't go back? And didn't you disappear?"

Ke Ke's aggrieved finger to finger.

"It's the first time I've been a dark spirit and I don't have any experience! I finally got to see the outside world, but I didn't notice the passage of time...

When I found out that everyone had gone back and wanted to go back, the passage was closed.

I was terrified at the time, and I was finally reborn in the form of a dark spirit, but I still couldn't solve the regret of being single... I was about to die again.

Maybe the beast gods looked at me with pity. When I was wandering around in despair, I actually saw a group of ghouls attacking the living orcs!
And I found that every time those ghouls eat a full meal, their strength will increase a little.

So I guessed that if the dark spirits eat living orcs, they should be able to continue to exist in some form.

However, I don't have the ability to attack the orcs, not even getting close, so I just followed behind those ghouls, and survived by picking up some debris..."

Si Nian: "And then you became what you are now?"

"Yeah, neither human nor ghost."

Ke Ke looked extremely wronged.

"Where did those ghouls come from?" Si Nian asked again.

"It should be raised by some powerful evil spirits. I'm just a little dark spirit. I don't know the specific things."

After hearing this, Si Nian had a rare serious exchange of views with Quentin:
"It seems that in order to solve the mission of the disappearance of the orcs, we must go to the legendary Dark Spirit Planet."

Quentin looked a little exhausted, he sighed and said, "That's the only way."

After that, Quentin reported the whole story to Occam.

After all, this matter has already implicated the innocent lives of many orcs, and those ghouls are likely to continue to do evil.

If the loss is not stopped in time, it will definitely become a huge threat to the Beast World Federation.
