Luoshu's Adventures of the Past

"That's enough... Luo... Your hands are so warm. I feel as if I'm wrapped in sunlight in my sleep. It's very comfortable. If it wasn't for worrying you, I really want to hold you and sleep for a while."

Chapter 14: Ripple Breathing ([-])

"It's a technique called Ripple Qigong. I learned it from a tarot card shop just now. I can save you only by relying on it..."

For the rest of his life, Luo Shu had no reservations about Bai Ji.After hearing his words, the woman was obviously taken aback, lowered her head at random, remained silent, and finally smiled at Luo Shu after a long time.

"Really, it's Ripple... So, you chose Ripple this time..."

Luo Shu couldn't understand what he heard, but in the past few days, Bai Ji's words and deeds have been quite strange, and he has become familiar with them, so he doesn't care about them when he is happy like this.The man sat down on the bed, hugged the woman in his arms, felt the softness of her body through the cloth on his chest, and continued to transmit the ripple energy in his body.

"Are you still weak? Come on, don't be polite! I feel that this energy is inexhaustible with my breathing. As long as you need it, you can take it from me no matter how much..."

Bai Ji broke free slightly, but at this moment she was so weak that she had no way to resist the man's power, and finally in the warm embrace, she closed her eyes comfortably, rested her head on Luo Shu's shoulder, and did not speak, The two stayed like this, quietly feeling the circulation of life energy in their bodies.Until Luo Shu couldn't bear the embarrassment that lingered in the air, recalling the scene of Bai Ji's accident last night, he casually picked up topics and chatted with the beauty in his arms.

"Bai Ji, although you didn't want to tell me when I asked you before, I still knew your real name last night."

"Huh? What real name?"

"When you released the magic, you called yourself Agnesia, Agnesia Tridis, I remember you said that, it's really nice..."

"Enough...it's my fault...it's all my fault...don't say any more."

The woman in Luo Shu's arms trembled and struggled uncomfortably. She hesitated for a long time, her lips slightly opened and closed, her words lingering in her chest, and she finally sighed, as if she had given up something she had held on to for a long time, and turned her head to face her. Looking at the man's face, he said like a showdown:

"I am not Agnesia now... If you want to see her, just wait until the sun sets and the moon rises... You can like her, pamper her, use my body to make love to her, and she will serve you well , but—don't pry into our affairs, it's not good for you to know too much now. The time is far from ripe, maybe someday I can tell you all about me...but, lo...please believe Me, my love for you, the bond between a servant and a partner far exceeds the feelings between ordinary men and women, no matter who it is, we can't separate us."

Bai Ji's feelings are as hot as a flame, and Luo Shu feels that she is troubled and tormented by something, unable to reveal her full truth to him—but unlike before, Luo Shu will no longer have doubts about Bai Ji, all this makes her The mystery of people's discomfort exists here only because they are too weak.

In the final analysis, the reason for all troubles and pains is that one's own strength is not enough.

"I will wait until you are willing to give everything to me..."

Luo Shu helped Bai Ji up, observed her complexion, it seemed that she had recovered a lot.

"Want something to eat? Although you can also eat here, the owner of this room seems to have prepared something. Shall we go out and have a look?"

Bai Ji nodded, supported by Luo Shu.The two walked out of the room and came to the living room. They didn't see the man Meijias who rescued them by driving last night, but saw a cute little girl who was setting the tableware on the table, quartered egg fried rice and preserved egg lean meat It was still steaming, and each of them prepared a glass of milk, which made Luo Shu's index finger twitch after running around all night without eating anything.

"Uh...Hi! Excuse me..."

"Mejiasi is busy, he will be back soon, my name is Tihua, what's your name?"

The girl opened her mouth to answer, but her hands didn't stop, she was still scrubbing the used tableware in front of the sink.Seeing that the other person had already greeted him proactively, Luo Shu reported his family name:

"My name is Luo Shu. This is my wife Bai Ji. We have traveled so far. Thank you for your rescue last night."

Luo Shu arbitrarily referred to Bai Ji as "wife", which aroused her weak resistance, but she only struggled a little when the man hugged her body, and then acquiesced to his statement.

"Oh~ Newlyweds who came to visit this wasteland city? Your taste is really great."

Luo Shu could hear the ridicule in Di Hua's words, even though she was young, she couldn't be fooled by any nonsense.The two of them pulled over the chairs and sat down. Tihua took out the ready-made vegetable salad from the refrigerator and placed it in front of them. She lay her head on the table and stared at them curiously.Luo Shu was so dazed by the child's eyes that he couldn't start eating, so he chatted casually with Tihua.

"Just you and Megas here?"

"Yeah, just the two of us. Dad and I have lived here for a long time, and I haven't seen any other living humans except you."

"Uh, Megas is your father, so your mother...?"

"No need, it doesn't exist."

Tihua's answer was crisp and clear, Luo Shu couldn't understand what happened to this girl who lived with her father, how her mother left, and how they could train a ten-year-old child so strong How much has I suffered.

"Here, for you."

Inexplicably, Luo Shu felt that the child was pitiful, so he secretly put his hand under the table, bought a large wave lollipop, and handed it to the opposite side.

"what is this?"

"Candy, children like it very much, strawberry flavor, try it?"

"But Dad said you can't eat sugar, it will hurt your teeth..."

"It's okay to eat one once in a while..."

Luo Shu turned the stick under the candy, tore off the plastic wrapping paper on it, and continued to shake it in front of the girl's eyes. The sugar cake with swirl pattern attracted Tihua's eyes like magic, and finally she couldn't help stretching out her hand. It came out, took the candy self-taught and put it in his mouth to lick.

"This is delicious... Thank you Tihua, brother Luoshu."

Being called big brother by a cute loli, this candy is worth buying.Luo Shu smiled and watched Tihua licking the sweets little by little, and heard the sound of heavy leather boots coming from the stairs.Dihua's expression changed obviously, and she stuffed the wave board candy back into a plastic bag and hid it in her pocket, cleared her throat and said to Luo Shu:

"So, what Dad said is very reasonable. A healthy diet is low-sugar, low-salt, eat more vegetables and fruits, and a small amount of meat and eggs. The breakfast I make is very standard. Don't be picky, just eat it. "

This little showman!

Luo Shu watched Tihua wink at him, and simply followed her, and slapped the man in charge who was about to come upstairs:

"Well, as expected of Mr. Megas, who can still come and go freely in the mountains of corpses and fires, the plan for managing the body is really strict and effective. I think I can't do it. I feel like I will die if I don't eat snacks for a day..."

"A person who would die if he didn't eat snacks for a day, would he recover so quickly? Then it seems that those precepts of mine before are useless!"

Megas went upstairs and saw that Luo Shu and Bai Ji were able to sit at the dining table, she was not very surprised, but showed an expression like "well done, this is what I want" .He sat boldly on the seat Tihua gave him, his heavy body made the stool groan in pain, supporting this big man to keep pushing the food into his mouth.

Chapter 15: Showdown ([-])

"Eat them all! Why, do I have to let you?"

Megas didn't seem to want to say anything, he just kept eating, Luo Shu was still thinking about how to talk to him, Megas had already eaten half of the food, and the wolf-like eating behavior really made anyone who wasn't hungry want to see it Taste a few.Although little Loli Tihua kept snickering with evil intentions, she didn't stop talking, she put the tomatoes in the salad and chewed the rice and vegetables.Seeing that the father and daughter did not regard them as guests, Luo Shu was unambiguous, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. The hot rice was just right salty and light, not to mention how delicious it was, and it also stimulated the tongue. Almost none, but he just couldn't stop his chopsticks. Compared with the salty, spicy food that stimulated his taste buds, the food in front of him had a different taste.Luo Shu looked at Bai Ji from the corner of his eye, and she seemed to like it quite a bit, even though she liked a light diet. She ate more happily than him, so she just put her mind at ease and focused on eating without thinking about him.

"Hey, this is really... No matter how hard it is, as long as you eat the meal cooked by your daughter after work, you will feel that you have earned it, what do you think?"

The four of them looked at each other without saying a word, and swept away several plates. Except for a little carrot in the salad, they basically ate everything.Loli cleaned up the dishes after eating, took them to the sink to wash, and Bai Ji also went to help. Right now, Luo Shu and Megas were left at the table. It seemed that it was time for a showdown with each other. up.

"I don't have a daughter, so I don't know what it's like...but it's nice to be with family after work."

Meijiasi was not in a hurry to say something important, Luo Shu accompanied him around, and the two kept chatting about miscellaneous things until Tihua had finished the work at hand. Under Bai Ji's guidance, When the drawing board was set up in the courtyard, the paints were mixed, and ready to start painting, when the conversation between the two could not be heard at all, Megas seemed to be ready to get down to business.

"Do you have this?"

Megas took out the card "Chariot" representing his identity, and showed it in front of Luo Shu.And Luo Shu also acted very frankly, took out "The Fool", and the two looked at each other's cards as if exchanging business cards, and Luo Shu realized how different Megas was from himself.

"no.7 chariot

Identity Binding: Megas Wodan Ymir

The Chariot is a relatively powerful card in the Tarot. Usually it represents victory, aggressiveness, and conquest, but it often also indicates recklessness and risk. It has a strong frontal confrontation ability and rarely uses conspiracy and tricks. The biggest feature of the "chariot" is not that they are not good at tricks, but that the owner of the chariot, in most cases, is enough to defeat ten times with one effort.

Megas' Chariot grants abilities:

Vehicle Specialization: Due to the previous experience of the adventurer Megas, the "chariot" will give him the ability to master all vehicles, and he can use his own skills to maximize the performance of the vehicle.At the same time, the highest state of proficiency in the vehicle can make the machine and one's emotions merge into one, and the ability to truly realize the unity of man and horse-spiritual command, will be unlocked and used after Megas's own understanding of the vehicle is sublimated.

Adjuster: In order to adapt to all vehicles, including vehicles used in non-earth environments, the card has carried out a maximum transformation of Megas's body: a body that can overcome multiple G forces, dynamic vision, high-speed response nerves and muscles, And the spatial recognition ability of the cosmic environment and unknown environment.But at a relative price, Megas will never be able to use magic skills and props that have been upgraded to level 3, including but not limited to magic, comprehension, sorcery, etc. The remaining magic circuits in the body are regarded as unnecessary existence. was removed.

Hero of the battlefield: When Megas is in the battlefield environment, the initial value of favorability of friendly troops is higher than that of other adventurers, and low-level soldiers will have a high probability of directly obeying his command.And as the battle progresses, according to his performance, senior officers have a certain probability of adding extra trust and favor to him, and he is a character with a natural heroic temperament. 』

Compared with his own card performance, Megas' "Chariot" is simply synonymous with simplicity, brutality, and effectiveness. It is indeed a card that symbolizes victory in the Tarot.Luo Shu couldn't get any more information, so he was about to return the card, but Megas seemed to be still staring at his card in thought, wondering what he was thinking.

"The Fool... What a terrible card."

"How do you say that? No matter how you look at it, your chariot is stronger."

"No, no, you have to look further away..."

Megas returned the card, looked at Luo Shu seriously, and started to get down to business.

"Last night, you were attacked by large-scale zombies. The main reason was that you hunted too many ordinary zombies, which attracted the attention of the 'queen' in the center of the city, and then sent tyrant-type zombies to deal with you. So what happened? What kind of interests will drive you to do this?"

"Queen? What queen? Do these zombies have a unified manager?"

Luo Shu was obviously taken aback, and he didn't know what Megas said. Megas seemed to have figured things out after seeing Luo Shu's expression. For a period of time, he explained to Luo Shu carefully what happened to him.

"Well, it seems that my new partner needs some basic science... OK, come on, light this cigarette first, this is probably a long story."

"First of all, the world we are in now. This is a wasteland. I can't be sure where it is, right? But there are still some clues-look at the leaf in my hand, the maple leaf, the edge of the city, which is Where we're sitting right now, it's a mountainous area with lots of maple trees, and given the temperature and the position of the sun, I think we're probably in Canada right now."

"This city has been abandoned and there are no living people. I have never been to North America before. It may be difficult to judge the specific city, but fortunately, as far as I know, Canada has a large land area and sparsely populated, even if it is a metropolis , and the population size is pitifully small - Toronto has a population of only 600 million, Montreal has about 400 million, and Vancouver has less than 300 million. These three cities have gathered more than one-third of the country's population. Other small places, almost can be ignored."

"This is actually very good news for us: the population is small, so there may not be too many zombies, the temperature is low, viruses or other diseases will not survive in the air, and survival is relatively easier. The natural conditions here are still The relatively superior ones can minimize our discomfort in surviving here, and these are very helpful conditions.”

"Next, let's talk about our plans and goals. Excluding the phased goals, I have only one ultimate goal."

Meijia paused for a moment, as if she was worried about frightening Luo Shu, and said slowly:

"I want to kill all the zombies in this city and get out of here."

Chapter No.16: Showdown ([-])

"You mean, as long as you kill all the zombies here, you can return to the legendary safe house?"

Luo Shu grasped the information on the card. He knew that as long as certain conditions were met, he could return to an environment where no one disturbed him and only adventurers and their followers lived.The card's description of this place is like a fairyland, a place where gods once lived, but until now Luo Shu still has no idea how to return here.

"Yes, you will continue to accept and complete the missions given by this card, right? I have achieved the 22nd mission now, as long as I complete this mission to clear up all the zombies, I can go back there... This is probably my last in this world It's a mission, I don't know what will happen after I complete it, but judging from the previous situation, the rewards mentioned in the mission can basically be achieved, and I don't care what method it uses to get me away, you know , although I don't care, but I don't want Tihua to live in such a lonely and indifferent world, so even if I have to take some risks, I have to find a way to get out of here."

Luo Shu nodded, expressing his understanding. He also has a mission. It can even be said that he and Megas agree with each other now. Both of them want all the zombies in this city to be wiped out. However, based on Megas’ previous experience, it is likely that it will take longer for Luo Shu to return to the safe house. Calculating with his fingers, he has only completed the two tasks assigned to him by the Tarot cards: Cards and red soul point rewards have reached 10000 points. The difficulty of this third task is the same as that of Megas's 22nd ring. The reward is a four-dimensional space bag. He can't help but feel that the future is long and he doesn't know how many difficult tasks Challenges await him.

"Very good, you are slowly getting on the road now, let's talk about your big card—"The Fool", tell me, why did you kill zombies?"

"What kind of stupid question is this, if I don't kill them, can't I just wait for them to kill me?"

"No." Megas shook his head, changed the sentence of the inquiry, and made his guidance more obvious:

"I'm asking you, why do you take the initiative to kill zombies? You should already be in a safe position, and they pose no threat to you, right?"

"Because you can get rewards for killing them. A zombie gives 10 points. If you attack them from a long distance, it's as simple as shooting a target and has high benefits..."

"Killing a zombie will give you 10 rewards. This is the horror of the Fool, and it is also where you are blinded."

Megas pressed the burnt cigarette butts in the ashtray, extinguished the scattered sparks, and paused for a while.It seems to be giving Luo Shu some time to think about the problem.However, Luo Shu couldn't figure out what was wrong with trying to earn points, strengthen his body, improve his equipment, and pursue a better life.

"Do you know how much reward I can get for killing a zombie? With only 3 points of red soul, you can get three times as many rewards as me! Although it seems that the performance and additional functions of the chariot are much better than that of the fool, But this is just the lead at the starting line, once the Fool starts to accelerate, let alone a chariot, I am afraid there is no card that can compete with it..."

"You make money faster than others, and your weapons and equipment can be more comprehensive and advanced at the same time. Then, when you invest in the faster money-making process, your power will grow like a snowball. When your power continues to expand, you will have the whole world. All of the Tarot card shop, the blood of the gods, the immortal body, the power of the hero, endless wealth and treasures! And all these things, you only need to squat upstairs and shoot black guns to get them? In the world Will there be such a good thing?"

Megas stared at Luo Shu with one eye, as if he was torturing his soul.Luo Shu hadn't considered these things before. Indeed, since he got the card until last night, his plan was too ideal and too smooth. If in daily life, this kind of big cake covered with cream If it was delivered to him, he would definitely suspect that it was fraudulent, but the hard work of fleeing before made him rely too much on cards and stores, and his superstition for this unknown power also made him understand the problems he encountered. Think much simpler.

"It is indeed as you said... This is very unrealistic, and the greedy acquisitions during the day also made me suffer at night. But if I give up the opportunity to improve myself because of worrying about such things, and live here numbly, this is not the same as me Your plan doesn't match, so you don't want to live like this, do you?"

"Yes, I didn't tell you not to let you kill zombies to earn rewards, it's just that 'wealth and wealth are in danger'. If you want to get huge rewards, you have to take the same risk. You have to understand this. There is a plan to deal with various emergencies." mentality."

Having said that, Megas changed the subject and began to introduce the things he mentioned before.

"The zombies in this city have their own 'king'. They are the citizens of this city and are protected by the king. The king manages the city and has a certain ability to predict what happens here. Once In a certain area, if a large number of zombies are eliminated, she will know—I used to be like you, wanting to eat into a fat man in one bite, killing crazily in a certain place, but as long as it reaches a certain order of magnitude, yesterday's A large elite zombie will appear, and once the elite zombie is killed, their king will come from the center of the city to deal with these factors that endanger her rule - I have seen her from afar, she is a Wearing a black gauze dress, the woman with bloodless skin looks very beautiful and weak. She seems to be the type who is not good at fighting, but I know that I am not her opponent at all: when she raises her hand casually, the dirt on the ground will be crushed. Turning into skeletons and crows, they attacked me with teeth and claws, and black rain began to fall from the sky. When it drenched on my body, it felt like being corroded by acid and alkali, stinging like being corroded by acid and alkali, beckoning is a strong wind, stomping is an earthquake, that woman's ability The power is far beyond my previous cognition. I don’t know and have never seen the appearance of a banshee or a demon, but I am sure that this woman is definitely not human, and the power she released at will was not something I could contend with at the time .”
