I became the chief secretary of the empire by raising pigs

"Let's have fun!"

The host stretched his hands towards the stands, making a freeze-frame gesture of hugging.Her chest was turbulent, and the sweat slid all the way down the forehead into the white and greasy groove, so fresh and moving.

However, in the next second, she disappeared in place.

Li Song was dizzy from the sound of the people around him, so he leaned back when he saw this scene.

"It's been a holographic projection for a long time." He grabbed Wei Zong's hand to cover his ears, and complained irritably, "My head is about to explode!"

Seeing this, Wei Zong kicked the fence directly, there was a loud bang, and the fence made a crumbling sound of breaking.

"Ah—" the few people who were holding on to the fence screamed in fright, and they all pushed back one after another.

Wei Zong said coldly: "It's so noisy."

Those few people looked at the tall, strong and bearded man in front of them, and shut their mouths knowingly.From this look, it looks like a newcomer on the pirate ship, with bloody smell all over his body, their comfort for a long time is incomparable.

"Come out!" one of them couldn't help whispering.

Everyone looked at the stage below.

A shirtless man stepped through the raised gate.

His image appeared on the surrounding metal grid at the same time, so thin and dark, with such fear and hesitation on his face, although he walked out by himself, he staggered as if driven away.

This turned out to be a boy who didn't look like an adult.

Someone painted a long boa constrictor on his surprisingly thin body with a special fluorescent material.The boa constrictor crawled along his neck over his back, front chest, and back waist, and finally stopped at the ambiguous tailbone, and the snake letter sank into the valley.

The boy moved forward in a daze, and fell on the edge of the stage. The snake seemed to come alive, winding around his body. The dark blue color made the men and women in the stands knock on the metal handrail like crazy, with malicious intent. Come.

He got up, held himself tremblingly and looked around, the huge ring-shaped grandstand was blurred in his eyes, and he couldn't tell where those terrible voices came from.

'Mom...' he cried in despair, opening and closing his mouth with tears in his eyes.But he couldn't even hear his own voice.

In the stands above, Li Jin's eyes flashed with disgust and anxiety.He glanced at the few people next to him, and found that each of them showed ugly expressions of extreme endurance, and couldn't help but feel sick.

"What should we do, can we save him?" He asked Wei Zong in a very low voice.

Wei Zong frowned and looked at the lonely person on the stage, and thought again of the gray-haired woman from before.save?If they could, of course they wanted to save people, but the fact is that once they rescued people, they would attract the attention of all the pirates present.

Not to mention Reggie.

Just thinking about it, you know you can't do it.

They currently don't have the ability to save people, and coming to the arena is just to confirm this.Besides, if the waste stars don't rise up to resist by themselves and count on external rescue, they can only pray that they can leave here smoothly.

"Here we come! Meticulousness is here!"

The men and women in the box no longer cared about being afraid of Wei Zong, they all crowded around the fence excitedly, stretched their necks and looked at the gate on the other side.

hum ——

The ten-meter-high heavy metal gate slowly rose upwards, making teeth-sickening hinge sounds.A shiny black tail eagerly drilled out from the gap below. At the end of the tail, there was an inverted triangle of meat.

"hiss……"

The boy named Little Snake turned his head back in horror. He was standing on the stage, and he heard the voice before seeing the heretic tail.That hoarse, oddly nasal voice.

Make him creepy.

"What?" He couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But this gate was too tall for him, and as the gate rose halfway, the true face of the monster revealed inside made him stay in place, and even his fear had been forgotten because of fear.

A ten-meter-long monster crouched in the gate. Its overall shape was more like a giant lizard, but it had a thick carapace and eight five-meter-long tentacles on its back.

It turned around suddenly, the inverted triangular head armor was buckled on its ugly black-gray head, and the four pairs of compound eyes kept flipping, and then they all stared at the thin human on the stage.

"hiss……"

Delicious, human.

It grinned, a gray tongue covered in mucus slowly stretched out, and stroked its small prey from a distance of eight or nine meters.The top of the tongue bounced off impatiently, revealing a circle of thin and dense sharp teeth inside.

The little snake fell backwards to the ground.

He couldn't move, his mind went blank.

Such... such a monster...

How could he possibly have won...  

"Stand up! Stand up, you bastard! Trash!"

The men's eyes were protruding, and they shouted at the top of their voices: "Get up quickly! Give him a weapon! Give this trash a weapon! Anything—"

"Poor little girl, I just can't bear to watch..." The women squeezed their handkerchiefs tightly, staring at the stage excitedly.

The box on the [-]th floor was unusually quiet because of the presence of Li Jin and Li Jin.

The five pirate nobles regretted so much that they even hesitated to leave.They didn't even dare to shout cheers in a low voice, because the two tall new pirates stood beside them solemnly, and the air pressure in the whole box was so low that they almost bent their necks!

"...boring, I'm leaving." Finally, a man in a top hat couldn't help it, muttered a plausible excuse, and slipped out along the wall.After he started, the remaining four also sneaked away.

Of course Li Jin and Wei Zong would not stop them.

"You must know that this is helping cowards, I should have thrown them out from the beginning!" Wei Zong kicked the wall anxiously.

"What kind of monster is this?" Li Song felt hairy on his back, unable to take his eyes off the stage.

The monster finally came out. Like a cunning predator, it crawled around the aisle below the stage, as if showing off its abilities, showing its ugly and terrifying appearance to the audience in all directions. .

Obviously this method is very popular. When it climbed there, the stands there screamed and cheered, and countless flowers smashed into the metal net.

"Impossible..." Wei Zong held his forehead in confusion, "It looks like a monitor lizard mixed with a bug and octopus, but... But this performance is too high IQ, it's outrageous?"

Synthetic beasts are not uncommon in pirate sites. Not only big businessmen in the Star Alliance like them, but even nobles or rich people in various countries play with these things secretly.But synthetic beasts shouldn't have such a high IQ, otherwise humans would have finished the game long ago.

The most bizarre thing is that they are intelligent, but they don't want to escape. Instead, they are like ancient gladiators, who are very angry and happy when they are viewed as beasts...

So weird.

Finally, someone outside the venue threw a long gun into the middle of the stage.The boy rolled and crawled over, holding the spear with both hands, as if it could protect him from the monster.

Li Jin couldn't bear to look at such huge monsters, even if they were driving mechas with hot weapons, if they wanted to rely on hand-to-hand combat, an extra cold weapon would not be of much use.

Let alone a skinny child?

He really didn't know what kind of devil it was that conveyed those wrong messages to these children in the dungeon!The evil of human nature is more terrifying than monsters.

The monster jumped onto the stage with a bang, and those tentacles danced around it with its teeth and claws. It showed an evil smile like a human being, and stretched its neck forward suddenly. On the ground, white smoke rose unexpectedly.

"Ahhh, don't come here—" the boy yelled brokenly, almost losing his grip on the cold weapon in his hand.

Why do you say this is just an appetizer?

Because the two are facing each other, there is almost no fighting process, it is just a one-sided massacre.

The monster neighed at him, and the thick green saliva splashed onto the ground. The boy was finally overwhelmed by the puffs of white smoke, and roared, raised his spear and stabbed forward.

puff!

The gun head pierced into the monster's body.

He raised his head trembling all over, and looked at the position of the gun head in disbelief.The moment he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the monster's wound suddenly began to squirm, and the muscular muscles swallowed the gun head. It opened its mouth at him, and the eight dangling tentacles stopped suddenly, and then they were like lightning. Pounced on the boy!

puff puff-

There was a continuous piercing sound, and the boy spat out a mouthful of blood, and was immediately lifted into the air by the tentacles.He lowered his head slowly, and saw that his thigh was pierced by four tentacles, and his stomach... His stomach was so cold...

Li Jin lowered his head, veins burst out on the back of his hand that was leaning on the fence.

He gritted his teeth, and the boy's shrill screams echoed in the arena before being immediately covered by thunderous applause.This is disgusting and ironic!These people - applaud for the pain and the gore like the boy had given them a good show.

"us--"

"We can't save him," Wei Zong gritted his teeth, "He's been tampered with!"

Li Jin was at a loss: "What do you mean?"

He followed Wei Zong's gaze to the center of the stage, and gasped.

The little snake, who was already dying, suddenly struggled like a cramp.His body convulsed continuously in mid-air, twisting into weird shapes, which would arouse the instinctive fear of human beings.

Suddenly, his entire back swelled, as if a hook caught his skin and hung him there.

"There...is something in there!" Li Jin took a step back.

The picture in the next second refreshed his three views.

Strands of black tentacles broke through his spine and skin and rushed out, exploding a black and red flower in mid-air, the internal organs and flesh and blood scattered like rain, and the bone spur penetrated the boy's entire back .

He turned into a weird hunchback, with the same tentacles flying from the hump, and the bony spurs spread out to the sides as he breathed.

"Hiss—" he roared angrily at the monster below, his eyes were clouded with white.

Li Song now understood what Wei Zong meant.

Even if there is only one breath left, it is still a person to save it. It is useless to save the boy now.Before he stepped on the stage, he had been transformed by the people in the arena, but he didn't know it.

Oh my goodness.

The newly born monster waved its tentacles, trying to get rid of the opponent's control.Li Song thought that the people in the arena would end the monster's massacre of humans, and at least leave the boy who turned into a monster, but he didn't expect to be meticulous and merciless in throwing the boy to the ground!

Those bone spurs were all broken and stuck upside down into the boy's body. He howled and begged for mercy, but the black shadow above his head still slowly covered him and pressed down on him.

"No no—Mom—"

The boy's human voice stopped abruptly.

There was a suffocating silence.

Bright red blood gushed out from under the monster's body, and those newborn tentacles flicked around it for a moment, and finally remained motionless.

【Bravo!Unexpectedly delicious! 】

The woman in red appeared again. She stepped on her high heels and walked to the side of the monster.

[As expected of being meticulous!Where is everyone's applause? 】

boom!

Now for the second time there was a deluge of applause.

The hostess patted the monster like a hill beside her, and the smile on her face seemed to freeze, without any change.

[It really lives up to the name, our winning streak champion!It is still cleaning the stage for us, I should award it a medal for outstanding employees]

There was a roar of laughter at the scene.

The monster lowered its head, its huge body like a mountain of meat kept wriggling, and the blood gradually decreased.When it raised its head, the mouthparts on its tongue were still biting a piece of hairy skin, and it seemed to swallow it reluctantly.

In less than 10 minutes, it licked clean the flesh and blood that had spilled half of the stage, and there was not even a bone left of the boy's remnant body.

"..." Li Song was so terrified that he even felt a trace of fear.

No matter how the people in the arena reformed the boy, did they reform him just to make his death a little more tortuous?

He had the urge to vomit, and even wanted to leave here regardless.

"It seems that the so-called Madame Butterfly also refers to a monster." Wei Zong covered his eyes with his hand and whispered, "Do you still remember those two contestants?"

Li Jin nodded wearily.

"If the monster is already so intelligent, then what's the point of being a player?" Wei Zong's deep voice rang in his ears, gradually dragging his heart into the bottomless darkness.

"When the Meticulous came out just now, the old man representing Meticulous was still standing on the pillar. Instead, the pillar at the other end was lowered to the bottom of the stage."

"Do you know what that means?"

Li Song had already guessed.

"I think monsters are controlled by people."

Wei Zong calmly expressed his guess.

That's right.

Li Jin pulled his hand and looked at the posters on the wall of the box.The posters have different colors, and they seem to be some past star players, and they all have slogans like "Battle of Soul Link".

At that time, the two of them saw it immediately and didn't care at all.

Li Jin frowned: "Could it be a spiritual link? Just like we control mechs."

Wei Zong squinted his eyes and looked at the white pillar from a distance. The pillar was surrounded by laser beams on all sides, making it impossible to see the people inside.

"It should be. They connected humans and monsters through a specific link device. Once the game comes, the link is opened, and the human consciousness invades the monster's body..."

"Aren't you fucking crazy?!" Li Jin cursed in a low voice.

Panting, he turned his head to look at the monster that obediently walked into the gate, "That thing...could it also be changed by humans?"

"It obviously has the characteristics of a monitor lizard and an octopus, and its main body is like an enlarged version of a beetle. It is a synthetic beast." Wei Zong paused, "But they should have been trying in this direction."

Like poor boy.

Wei Zong originally thought in his heart that he should at least use Lei Jie's relationship to bring the boy's body back.At least it can comfort the desperate mother.

But looking at it now, it is better to have no corpses.Anyway, in Hei Lin's heart, her son was always that thin young child, not a monster with bony spines.

Li Jin said softly, "I recorded some pictures."

They looked at each other silently.

"I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do," Wei Zong shook his head, "Even if they live a miserable, numb life, or even die at any time, they are still alive now...if I—"

If he doesn't succeed, he's taking advantage of the Dungeons and sending them to their death.

"This is the only way!"

Li Jin patted his face resolutely, "I don't believe that people in the dungeon voluntarily become the rations of monsters and become test subjects! Let's tell the facts to the people in Waste Star and let them make their own choices."

He seems to be convincing Wei Zong, and he is also convincing himself, "We must occupy the waste planet, and let these people from Jialai Vance go back to their homeland!"

The two bumped their fists, stopped watching the rest of the game, turned around and walked out.

Silent night.

The people of the upper city seemed to be gathered in the arena, and all the buildings in the street were dark.They walked quickly to the city gate, silently noting down the route along the way.

"I saw the sign of the airport." Li Jin whispered, "Aren't you really going to see it?" To be honest, if the two of them hadn't now had a more specific goal, he wished he could go to the airport right now, with any airship, Steal and run.

"Not tonight," Wei Zong snorted, "Believe it or not, Lei Jie must be waiting for us."

real or fake……

Li Jin murmured in his heart, isn't it too old to stay up late?If you wait for them, why not just go to the arena together?

When he and Wei Zong walked out of the city gate one after the other, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the side of the road, and couldn't help but curse.

Fuck, I told Piggy!

I saw an old carriage parked beside the dark road.The whole body of the carriage was black, and in front of it was a mechanical horse snorting and stepping on its metal hooves restlessly.

"Good night, gentlemen," Lei Jie pushed open the door, sat in the car and looked at them with a smile, "Is tonight's performance wonderful?"

Wei Zong looked at him indifferently.

"I haven't finished watching it," Li Song apologized, "You know, this kind of performance is a bit too exciting for us." He added, "But it's very novel, and it's really exciting."

Lei Jie understood, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "People who watch it for the first time can't stand it, it's a bit bloody."

"Uh, that's true, so we really want to see it again," Li Song spread his hands in embarrassment, "and there's nothing to see here at night, not even street lights."

"So you didn't buy anything?" Lei Jie joked.

Li Song was startled behind his back.

Of course they didn't buy anything, after all, they couldn't connect to the Internet.

What did Reggie mean by that?

Wei Zong said bluntly: "Apart from those monsters, what can Wu Qihei buy?" He rolled his eyes in disdain, and Li Jin almost laughed out loud.

"...That is the treasure of the arena, it is forbidden to sell." Lei Jie was always being guarded, no matter how calm he was, he would inevitably feel unhappy.Worst of all, he had to rely on these two to get him something.

If it weren't for the sudden martial law on the border, and his identity would have been difficult to pass the customs smoothly during the martial law... Those pirates were like misers, and they were not even willing to lend a starship!

"Let me give you a temporary pass." He reluctantly took out the card and handed it to Li Song. "How about a week? Since there is nothing interesting here."

"Maybe three or four days will be enough."

Li Song smiled and shook the card.

"Okay, gentlemen, do you need me to give you a ride?" Lei Jie stepped inside.

The two got into the carriage.

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lei Jie watched the two walk into the entrance of the dungeon, and casually knocked on the wall of the carriage.The mechanical horse raised its head and neighed silently, raised its hooves and galloped towards the upper city.

However, Wei Zong and his wife did not go back to their residence immediately. After they entered the dungeon, they went straight to the house of the soldering iron head.

There are still residents coming and going in and out of the dungeon at night. When the acid rain season is approaching, sleep has become the least important thing compared to survival.

Soldering iron tips are of course an exception.With the income from this large house in Xicheng District alone, he can already lie at home and enjoy himself.He slept in his spacious bedroom, with the most beautiful girl in the dungeon in his arms, who was still pregnant with his child.

He always suffered from insomnia, so he gently stroked the belly of the person in his arms.I really wish it was a little girl, that should be safer than a kid...

The tip of the soldering iron was thinking wildly, until he heard a soft sound coming from the living room downstairs.

"..."

He narrowed his eyes, and withdrew his left hand from under the woman's neck, and then took out an old-fashioned pulse gun under the pillow, flashed out of the room without a sound, and walked downstairs in the dark.

I really didn't expect that there are still people who dare to steal from him these days.

He leaned against the corner of the stairs with a kind of contempt, listening carefully.At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and something cold pressed against his Adam's apple, causing a slight tingling pain.

Knife! !

"I surrender." The soldering iron head raised his hands without hesitation.

The surroundings suddenly became brighter, and he finally saw clearly that a young man was stuck with his legs on the stair railing above his head, hanging upside down in front of him, holding a cold long knife against him.

He was taken aback.Obviously he just walked over it, how did this person do it?Could it be that they had already ambushed upstairs?

At this time, another person came out from the corner, only half a meter away from him.

"Hello, Soldering Iron Tip."

Wei Zong took the pulse gun from him and said calmly, "Let's talk."

The soldering iron head opened its mouth wide and was speechless for a while.

Could it be that threatening people with a knife is the way young people talk nowadays?
