Advent

This is really too bizarre a scene.

Calvin wanted to say that he had never seen Wu Jieyada look like this in front of others in his life—that man was so submissive now that he was almost like a custom-made servant of some great nobleman.

Of course, this may be caused by Wu Jieyada's guilt, but... a guy like Wu Jieyada would show his face because he accidentally hurt another human being, which is enough for Karl Wen felt frightened and even confused.

But no matter how bizarre and psychedelic it all is, Axis District Sheriff Calvin has to face reality: what he's experiencing now is a real thing that is happening, not just his nightmare.

Now, half lying in front of Calvin is a seriously injured inspector, and next to the inspector is a grim-faced assistant who seems to be about to lose control at any time—and the strength and fighting skills of this assistant are simply too strong to be Humanity.

(After all, even in the central axis area full of mixed blood and people from outside the territory, not everyone can beat a monster like Wujie Yada until his face is covered in blood and he has no power to fight back.)

After Wu Jieyada proposed that he was willing to detoxify Alan, he had no scruples, and even impatiently stretched out his hands in an attempt to hug the seriously injured inspector.

It's a pity that before his hand could touch Alan, Raymond let out a cold snort deep in his throat.

Raymond stuck out his fist suddenly, and almost knocked Wu Jieyada to the ground again, and Wu Jieyada's eyes also became sharp and terrifying the moment he met Raymond——

Seeing that Raymond and Wuyu Yada were about to fight again in the next second, but this upcoming tragic struggle finally came to an abrupt end with Allen's painful moan.

"Stop it, you two—"

Allen's eyes darkened.

He gasped and shouted at the two men beside him.

Perhaps it was because the poison of the Sioux had played a role. Allen felt that his consciousness was becoming blurred little by little, and he had to use all his strength to maintain his sobriety.It was painful, even more painful than the pain of the wound, but Allen knew he had to persevere.

"But, Alan, this guy..."

Raymond showed a particularly sad expression because of Alan's persuasion. A certain emperor who was completely immersed in grief did not notice that after he called "Alan", Calvin squinted at him several times Eye.

Allen, whose real name was called out, naturally didn't pay attention to Calvin's small movements. Well, even if he noticed, he probably didn't bother to care about these details.

After all, there was more than one person who gave him a headache here.

"What's your name?"

After Allen breathed for a while, he turned his head to look at the black-haired man beside him, and then asked his name

"Wujie Yada, my name is Wujie Yada."

It's hard to describe Wujie Yada's feeling at that moment.

That man is just an ordinary human being... Wu Jieyada heard the fragile rationality in his mind screaming with difficulty.

But just being asked his name by Allen, Wu Jie Yada felt that his heart was already beating as if it was going to explode in the next second.

The heartbeat was rapid, the blood vessels were tense, and it was difficult to control myself.

If it wasn't for Wujie Yada's strong self-control that has always been strong, he finally calmed down and said his name to Allen.It was almost overloading Wujie Yada's spirit.

this is not right...

Wujie Yada couldn't help but think so too.

He always felt as if he had been taken over by another soul, a more primitive, more instinctive soul.

He wanted to get close to the weak and pale man in front of him. He felt extremely happy because he was close to him now, but he almost curled up in pain because he accidentally hurt him.

He wanted to calm down but couldn't... he wanted to control himself, but again, he couldn't control himself.

At this moment, the only person who can keep Wu Jie Yada's behavior in the past is the guy next to the man.

That pale, tall man who looked like he was full of a strange stench.

The frenzy of wanting to kill each other is like a flame, burning continuously in Wujie Yada's soul.

"Then Wujie Yada..."

Then, Wujie Yada heard Alan's hoarse voice.

"I know you didn't mean it, but I do need detoxification... Hey, and medical attention."

Allen tried his best to sound flat and natural.

After all, at this moment, the last thing he needs is Raymond's fight with the natives of the central axis (the dagger on his shoulder is the best proof).

And his and Raymond's current secret identities also doomed him to have no way to return to the ring area but plead for a higher level of medical treatment.This meant that if he wanted to survive, he would have to rely on this non-sane foreigner in front of him.

The injury, and the severe pain caused by the injury, made Allen exhausted. He didn't notice the dark fire in Wujie Yada's eyes because of him, and he didn't care that Wujie Yada heard it. The involuntary sluggishness after seeing his calm (even gentle) tone.

Allen only felt that the wound on his shoulder was a damn pain.

At this moment, the only thing that Allen was lucky about was that, at least after hearing his orders, Raymond immediately settled down—as for the very rebellious and difficult outsider in front of him. Min, also speaks better than Allen imagined.

That Wujie Yada even allowed Raymond to hold Alan and go with him to the holy land of their clan.

It is said that it is the only place where Allen can be detoxified.

On the contrary, it was Calvin... After hearing that Wu Jieyada had indeed made this decision, Calvin's lips parted slightly, he hesitated to speak.Allen keenly felt that Calvin seemed to be scruples. However, as a sheriff, Calvin had a special sensitivity.

Allen just glanced at him, and Calvin suddenly closed his lips because of Allen's gaze.

On the surface, Calvin just silently respected Wujie Yada's decision.

Just like that, because of Allen's injury, everyone was forced to leave the comfortable and bright regional office.

They moved forward along a corridor, and finally entered an extremely complicated maze.

Allen suspected that the positioning map, which is very useful in the circular area, might become a mess if placed in the central axis area.

Many of the places they passed were checkpoints left over from construction projects, or work passages that had long been abandoned.

Not to mention being included by the map system, I am afraid that even the people from outside the territory who live here will find it difficult to leave smoothly once they enter here.

From time to time, they would make an abrupt turn in the corridor, uncover a loose metal cover, and then follow the ventilation duct into another complicated work path under construction.

Then, they will quickly enter another dim corridor as they move forward. The work nameplate on the corridor shows that the time is still long ago.

Light, temperature, air...all the data that maintains the vital signs of a person are visibly getting worse with the naked eye.

Allen could also feel that it was becoming more and more difficult to maintain his sobriety.

"Don't be afraid."

But Allen really can't rest assured.

Allen rested his head on the chest of his Alpha partner, and through the thin uniform, he could feel that Raymond's body seemed to be trembling slightly...

Are you afraid?

Allen thought with some worry.

He bit the tip of his tongue, struggling with the pain to pull out a trace of clarity, and then he spoke softly to Raymond.

"I'll be fine."

He said.

Small whispers were suddenly played loudly in the quiet, empty and dilapidated corridor.

Raymond's footsteps obviously paused - even Wu Jieyada, who was walking in front of everyone, was a little stiff.

"Woo woo chirp..."

Even Belian, who had been following them like a little tail, whispered a few words in a crying voice.

Allen guessed that he was probably echoing his own words.

"I know, you'll be fine."

And Raymond responded to Allen immediately after a brief pause.

only……

Is it an illusion? Allen leaned on Raymond's chest, but he always felt that Raymond's body became extra soft, extra cold, and even had a damp breath.

"arrival……"

"Tick tock..."

Wherever a group of people passed by, there was always the sound of liquid falling when the pipe leaked from time to time.

Every time the sound sounded, Calvin would involuntarily frowned and looked in the direction of the strange sound of water droplets.

As the sheriff of the Central Axis District, Calvin didn't know how to describe that strange, creepy feeling.

He often goes back and forth to this secret road. He is well aware of how dilapidated this place is, but he is also very sure that before today, there were not so many strange water sounds in the vicinity.

Of course, it is never uncommon for pipes to be broken in the central axis area, but... But why, accompanied by that ticking sound, he always felt that there was something wriggling in the dark, constantly Coming towards them?

What was even more frightening was the feeling of being watched all over his body. Calvin turned his head several times and felt as if he saw something staring at him.

……

Corridors, secret passages, and the sunken elevator. As the group of people gradually approached the bottom of the central axis area, the surrounding facilities became more and more old and dilapidated.

Now it is difficult to even see a complete and smooth metal plate here, and you can see pipes made of long-decayed biological materials dangling everywhere, and electrical sparks flashed from time to time on the electronic facilities, many years ago The leaked chemical substances corroded the ground with distinct traces. Sometimes, if they were not careful, passers-by would even pierce through the ground and fall to the lower floor—fortunately, Raymond walked steadily from the beginning to the end without letting anyone Allen suffers more unnecessary tossing.

The emergency lights showed a dim reddish color... Faintly, from some places, strange groans and howls could be heard coming from the cracks.

It's like the laborers who had to die in space hundreds of years ago in order to build the most remote military base from human beings are still here, and their ghosts are still making painful sounds after so many years.

It's just that this terrifying environment is very nihilistic to Allen now.

Feeling the tingling pain and coldness constantly coming from his shoulder, he was already a little dizzy.

The environment in Hunan, the familiar dilapidated corridors and elevators... Allen even thought that they might be able to go all the way down to the Hades...

And just when he was about to be unable to hold on, Wujie Yada finally stopped in front of a corridor.

"Holy place... our holy place is here."

Wu Jie Yada turned his head and said to Allen solemnly.

It's just that when he looked at Allen, his eyes were extraordinarily soft, but after meeting Raymond beside Allen, he became sharp and bloodthirsty again.

"finally reached……"

Allen cheered up a little because of Wujieyada's whispers, and he could feel that Wujieyada's attitude was different from before.

The Holy Land may be very, very important to their people.

Allen cheered up and looked around. This place is already at the bottom of the central axis area, maybe even the bottom.

It doesn't even look like it's equipped with even an iota of modern standard information transmission equipment. In fact, it looks more like the underground mines where the primitive workers worked hundreds of years ago when they were still on Earth.

But unlike the series of dilapidated and outdated areas they passed through before, although this place looks cold and dark, it is also extremely clean.

And at the end of the corridor is a closed door, which is different from ordinary metals in that it is decorated with a lot of gold and silver ornaments, which even looks classically beautiful.

But now Wu Jie Yada is standing in front of this door, and it seems that he is planning to open that door...

"Wujie Yada."

Calvin stood just behind Allen, he took a deep breath, and then yelled softly.

Although I didn't say it very clearly, everyone is actually returning, and Calvin is actually reminding.

He is reminding Wu Jieyada, asking him if he really wants to do this.

Wu Jie Yada did not hesitate.

"This is our holy place..."

With a trace of trance, he re-introduced to Allen.

The door was pushed open—

A bright, resplendent light suddenly came out from the crack of the door, and even made Alan's eyes feel a little stinging...

Raymond walked forward slowly with Allen in his arms. The scene that appeared in front of Zhongren was so mysterious and beautiful that it didn't look like it appeared in reality, but rather appeared after someone fell into a coma illusion.

This is a long-abandoned work hall, with ancient decorative crystal lamps hanging from the high dome. All metal working equipment has been removed, leaving only clean and smooth floors and walls.

But in this old-fashioned work hall full of metal machinery, the lawn and flower bouquets are now growing lush...

Of course, these flowers and plants are not the same as the common grass and flowers on the earth. The lawn has a gelatinous jelly-like touch when stepped on, and those magnificent light blue flowers will look like soft bodies when everyone approaches. Like an animal, it suddenly burrowed its body into the lawn.

In the middle of all the verdant flowers and plants is a perfect circular artificial pool.

Before this hall was abandoned, it was probably an artificial fountain for viewing.It's just that what is still sparkling in the artificial fountain pool is no longer the water light simulated by holographic projection technology, but the real pure drinking water.

Considering the predicament that the entire human military base is facing now, this pool of clean and clear spring water is simply more valuable than an equivalent amount of gold.

However, compared to the water, flowers and plants, as well as the solemnity and mystery presented here... What is even more shocking is the plant growing in the center of the spring.

It looks like a living thing, and the snow-white leaves are like angel feathers, which look extremely soft.

But after getting a little closer, with the swing of the airflow, the blades made a crisp sound almost like metal when they collided with each other.

After hearing the voice, an uncontrollable joy flashed across Wu Jieyada's face.

No need for extra lighting, which family of plants emits beautiful fluorescence from the inside out.

Several Sioux people are carefully guarding the side of the tree. They are wearing typical national costumes just like Wujie Yada, except that the dazzling jewelry around their waists has been replaced by vicious weapons visible to the naked eye. .

After seeing Wu Jieyada's arrival, they first crawled down obediently and saluted Wu Jieyada.

But then, they saw Alan and others following closely behind Wujie Yada.

In an instant, those seemingly silent and gentle Sioux people became stern, with a cold and intimidating aura.

No one could mistake the intense hostility these Sioux displayed to outsiders.

The light from the plant was reflected in Raymond's silver pupils, and his pupils had shrunk very thin, like some kind of fierce and cruel cold-blooded animal.

He just quietly stared at the Sioux in front of him, his face unchanged, but Alan felt... At this moment, Raymond seemed to be filled with a sense of bloodthirsty tyranny.

Thankfully, Allen didn't faint at such a critical moment.

"calm."

he said softly. .

In fact, at this time, Allen felt that he might understand the nervousness of the Sioux people.

Because the moment he saw the tree, he recognized what it was—even the most ignorant earthlings should know what it was.

It was a rare plant that had been completely extinct many years ago, the silver tree.

This alien plant with a simple name was already a priceless luxury that resounded throughout the universe long before it became extinct. The sound of their leaves knocking on each other could even welcome star whales.

In fact, the leaves themselves possess amazing healing powers.

Not to mention, the wonderful myths and rumors surrounding the Silver Tree.

Because they are too precious, countless people began to greedily collect and cut down silver trees during the expansion of earth civilization over the years.

In the end...in the year Alan was born, the Cosmic Alliance announced the complete extinction of the Silver Tree to all members.

Since then, people have never seen the wonderful fluorescence of the silver tree, let alone heard the heavenly sound of its leaves knocking on each other...

But now, Allen saw a living silver tree at the bottom of the central axis area of ​​the dilapidated land of exile.

——Although the silver tree looked extremely thin, it looked as if it was going to die in the next second.

Well, if Alan was one of these Sioux people, he might be very nervous when he saw a stranger approaching such a rare treasure.

Allen understood them perfectly.

But the situation on the court was a little tense.

Wu Jieyada took a step forward, and he uttered a melodious bird song towards the group of people. Although he couldn't understand it, Alan intuitively felt that Wu Jieyada seemed to be communicating with his companions.

As a leader, I have to say that Wujie Yada is indeed very majestic in front of his own tribe, but even so, it took him quite a long time to convince his tribe.

Allen's sanity has become increasingly dim, and he even feels that he may faint at any time.

And the reason why he didn't allow himself to fall into that wonderful darkness was purely because there was something wrong with the aura of the man who was holding him tightly.

For god's sake, didn't everyone else notice?Raymond looked terrifying, as if he could tear everyone in front of him to pieces in the next second and swallow them in his stomach one by one.

Allen didn't know why he had such an association, but he did think so.

"Put him under the silver tree..."

At the last moment, with strong dissatisfaction, the group of Sioux made way for Alan and Raymond. According to Wujie Yada, they needed to place Alan under the silver tree , Let the spring water soaked in the silver tree soak Alan's whole body.

Then, the Sioux will circle the tree and sing carols dedicated to the ancient gods.

If all goes well and is lucky, the leaves of the Silver Tree may respond to their singing, and when its leaves strike each other and begin to sing, it will naturally drop many crystal sap, and that precious liquid becomes is the key to detoxification.

It is very simple to place Allen under the tree, and it is very simple to let the spring water soak Allen's body.

but……

After the group of Sioux found out that Alan was just an ordinary human being, their aura became more dignified than before.

They did not disobey Wujie Yada's order, after all, they allowed Alan to stay under the silver tree.

But this was the limit of what they could do—no matter what Wu Jieyada ordered, they still stubbornly stood in place and remained silent.

The Sioux would never sing carols for foreigners.

An elder said hoarsely to his patriarch.

And during this short stalemate, Allen's face had turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The last breath that was holding on seemed to have reached the point where it could no longer be sustained.

The young man soaked in the water looked so pale and fragile, as if the next second, he would stop breathing and turn into a delicate and beautiful silver portrait.

Raymond has been extraordinarily silent since Allen was injured, and it is the same at this time, but...

Only he himself knew that he was definitely not as calm as he showed.
