[Gintama] Craftsman's Word

Shenwei intuited that a corner of the curtain was being lifted, and looked at the newly-appeared white exquisite beast with a different eagerness. It was no big deal that it leaned on a cane to overwhelm people with age, and Shenwei did not intend to mock it anymore.

Shenwei blew away the broken powder of the "Pea" Linglong Bead in his hand, picked out the one with the least round shape, knelt down and shook it in front of the white Linglong Beast.The legs of the white exquisite beast leaning on crutches trembled excitedly, and the beige eyes on the head were slightly reddened like stippling, and looked very salivating.

Previously, Shenwei threw Linglong beads to play, and this white exquisite beast tried to snatch one by virtue of its speed. He avoided it in time and did not let it succeed, but when he snatched the Linglong beads from the air, he exerted too much force and was not very crushed. took one.At this time, using the Linglong Pearl as bait, the white Linglong Beast was still greedy. Shenwei felt that there must be something very interesting in it, and it was worth investigating.

"Hey old man, do you want it?"

"You young man, how can you be so rude!"

The white exquisite beast pointed its crutches at Shenwei, it didn't have a white beard to puff up in anger, so the two antennae on its head stood up straight, and the reddish eyes gave it a somewhat angry look.

"This old man is more than two hundred years old, and has countless descendants, who doesn't respectfully call me old man..."

"Hey, I thought you wanted it very much. If you don't want it, let it go. You are over 200 years old and you are not dead? Seeing that you were quick to grab things before, you don't need your children and grandchildren to come out to help you. Ah, the ones I killed before were probably your descendants, I’m so sorry, why don’t I be kind and send you to a reunion?”

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The white exquisite beast coughed "I'm very weak, I'll fall down when the wind blows", and then stood with a cane as if selectively deleting the previous clip.

"This old man's name is Baihua. What you hold is exactly the medicinal material that this old man urgently needs."

"Medicine? Yeah, it's still albinism. But don't worry, I don't discriminate against albinism."

He only discriminates against the weak.The Linglong Pearl twirled between Shenwei's fingers, and he put on a pitiful smile.

"I've said that I'm not an albino! Cough." The Linglong beast named Baihua coughed repeatedly to suppress his emotions, and used a pair of symmetrical legs to hold a cane together. A distant memory, "It's a long story..."

Shenwei interrupted bluntly: "Long story short."

With Shenwei's superb interception skills and accurate ability to focus on key points, he restored a story frame from Bai Hua's mouth.

A long time ago, the exquisite beasts on this planet were extinct.

Be it Bai Hua, or the dark brown "Linglong Beast" that Shenwei killed earlier, they are not real Linglong Beasts, but a symbiotic group of Linglong Beasts.

There is a widespread saying in the universe that Linglong Beads will be born with a certain probability inside the head of Linglong Beast, but there are actually deviations in this saying.The real situation is that in the group named "Longlong Beast", the descendants will have a certain chance to produce superb spiritual intelligence, and they are named "Linglong Beast" as a subspecies to distinguish them. "Linglong Beast" is just a misnomer for Linglong Beads .

Linglong Beast is born with a bright pearl in its brain, whether its intelligence is related to the bright pearl is unknown, but the beauty of that bright pearl is beyond doubt.The beauty of the pearl is so bewitching that people who hunt and kill the beauty for themselves chase after it.The wisdom of the Linglong Beast is the precious wealth of the Linglong Beast family. Every Linglong Beast is precious. In order to better protect them, the entire Linglong Beast group made sacrifices, blurring the spirit with more Linglong Beasts. The concept of "Longlong Beast" is the version of "Linglong Beast" circulating in the universe.

Whether it is Linglong Beast or Linglong Beast, it was originally just a small wave in the process of natural evolution of creatures seeking benefits and avoiding harm. rise.

In the more distant past, Bai Hua's ancestors did not live on this planet, but belonged to a huge dragon beast group, entrenched on an ancient and huge planet.The ancestors reproduced from generation to generation, and gradually eroded the rock body where the nest was located, making it difficult to survive.The Linglong beasts in the family scattered and led the group to migrate in the universe. Finally, one day, Bai Hua's ancestors found this natural paradise. The entire planet is a rocky body that can survive. There are no natural enemies, not even any kind of survival. None of the competitors, they happily settled down.

However, perhaps due to the unknown substances contained in the black rocks of this planet, or perhaps due to the ease of life without natural enemies, the ethnic group was expanding prosperously, and the offspring appeared another kind of beast different from the Linglong beast. Mutations.When they were born, they were no different from ordinary dragon beasts, and only when they grew up would they reveal their irrationality. They only had the instinct of wild beasts to prey wildly.Their reproductive ability is far stronger than that of the unmutated dragon beasts, and unlike the rock beasts, they are omnivorous, that is to say, they will prey on their own kind, their original group, and even their relatives.

The Linglong beasts realized the danger of the mutant species and called the group to kill them, but the situation did not improve.Newborn dragon beasts can't identify the mutant species, and when the clues are revealed, it happens from time to time that parents can't bear to kill their own and their children and are swallowed instead.The Anle and Mei ethnic group split into two camps of hostility and killing.

The war lasted for a long time, and the rational dragon beasts were ultimately weaker than the emotional ones, and the balance of victory gradually turned to the mutants.It was at this stage that things took a turn.The reason is that a mutant species accidentally ate a Linglong beast, as if the exquisite pearl really contained wisdom, this mutant species gradually developed sanity, it began to know how to speak and understand ethics, and gradually became different from ordinary Linglong beasts. Beasts are no different.

The Long Beasts were happy about this for a while, because the Ling Long Beasts who had died over the years, their Ling Long Beads were enshrined in the temple, and they could be used to treat mutants.As long as the mutants return to normal and the dead Linglong beasts and newborn mutants reach a balance, the group can return to calm.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel.Mutants are mutants after all, they are different from the original Long beasts, Linglong beads can restore their minds to normal, but they cannot change the mutated genes.

Mutant species are still multiplying in large numbers, and the offspring are still mutant species without exception.The number of Linglong beasts is already scarce, and it cannot be balanced at all.The war between the mutants and the long beasts had to continue, and those mutants who had obtained the Linglong Orb and regained their sanity were not happy with both sides, and simply stood by and watched.

The blows again and again made the Long Beasts disheartened. They hid the Linglong Orbs in the temple, and gathered the strength of the whole clan to fight against the mutants to the death.The mutants are victorious.Suddenly obtained a large number of long beast corpses, and the mutants were gluttonous for a while.Only a few mutants who obtained the Linglong Orb realized that after the mutants monopolize this lair, if they cannot simply feed on rocks like the original Long beasts, they will have to face cannibalism as omnivores.

The development of the matter was as expected, even more tragic than expected.The mutant species wiped out the Long Beast within a few decades, but it was facing extinction due to internal collapse.

At this time, the mutant species that first opened its mind by devouring the Linglong beast had reached the end of its life. Before it died, it suddenly had a whim, and cut open its own head, wondering if there might be Linglong beads in its head.Of course, it didn't persist until it messed up its own brain, so it couldn't know that the first mutant species who followed the scent to eat it really ate a bead in its head, and gradually became sane.

This accident is like a key, opening a new hunting routine, and the offspring of the mutant species that acquired the wisdom of the Linglong Pearl through the second devouring, appeared individuals born with pearls in their brains.The situation is beginning to appear, and the mutants who have not inherited the history of the Long Beast are confused. They only think that the development of the Long Beast family cannot be said to be progressing in this cycle, so they regain the identity of the Long Beast, and appreciate the grace of the Linglong Bead's re-creation, which can be regarded as following the universe. Daliu among them calls himself "Linglong Beast".

The evolution and mutation of this line of dragon beasts came to this point thousands of years ago.The mutated Linglong beasts thought that new Linglong beasts would be born in the clan, and the turmoil in their clan would gradually calm down. In fact, the mutation is far from over.

The brain of the new individual is not the same Linglong bead as the ancestor, but a fake bead similar to the Linglong bead.Mutants devouring this kind of fake beads to gain sanity, not only has insufficient effect, it can barely keep them from becoming wild beasts, and the time is extremely limited, a fake bead can only allow mutants to gain sanity for about a year.

The real Linglong Orb has undergone at most three to four times of superimposed devouring, and its effect will be weakened to negligible. The mutants who have gained wisdom no longer want to return to ignorance, so they have to keep seizing fake beads to maintain their sanity.Because they are omnivores, there is no conflict between seizing pearls and eating, and the mutants multiply very fast. For a while, the battle for survival within the same family has stalemate, and gradually it has become a daily routine of survival.

The story that Bai Hua narrated was basically like this. Shenwei only sighed regretfully when it said that the things that were regarded as Linglong beads were fake beads, and did not express any opinions on other parts.

Bai Hua stared intently at the Linglong beads and fake beads that Shenwei had been playing with at her fingertips all this time, and asked: "The old man has told the history in detail, and you don't need this thing, why don't you just leave it to the old man."

"Who said I don't need it anymore?"

The cannibalism inside Long Beast is boring to Shenwei. If it weren't for Baihua, he would be cautious. Shenwei interprets its lies and loopholes as a game. I am afraid that I can't help but shoot it to death. .Bai Hua intentionally revealed her desire for Linglong Pearl and fake pearls, pretending that this was its purpose, and that Shenwei still had something to use it for, so she didn't mind continuing to flirt with it.

"Even if it's the fake Linglong beast brackets and Linglong pearl brackets, no one will know when you leave here. I said that this is the Linglong pearl, and there are still people who buy it. Why give it to you."

"Cough cough, what is the Linglong Beast's brackets? Didn't the old man make it clear? Everything remains the same. A Linglong Beast is a Linglong Beast. This old man is a Linglong Beast. It's not a fake bracket!"

"Hahaha, what kind of people are you? It's just a failure of evolution." Shenwei smiled sweetly, and dismantled the situation very simply, "Or you can follow the example of your ancestors and cut your head open, and there are real Linglong beads inside. I naturally believe that you are an exquisite beast."

"Oh, how can you be so rigid, young man? This Linglong beast is not that Linglong beast, they are all Linglong beasts, why should you be so serious. Forget it, I don't want to argue with you. There you are."

Bai Hua exudes an aura of "I don't have the same knowledge as you".

"Actually, I'm too lazy to say that Linglong beast brackets are so troublesome. It's really more concise. Let's just call them brackets." Shenwei happily clasped his palms together as if he had discovered a new toy, and the three Linglong beads were packed together Palm, "I don't hate you, for this sake, you take me to that so-called temple, and I'll give you all of these, what's the deal?"

"Really?" Bai Hua was overjoyed, and then immediately coughed twice, making a gesture of respect and respect, "There is only a small relic in the temple, and the legendary hidden Linglong Pearl is not there. Why did you go to the temple?"

"I want you to manage."

Shenwei smiled again and said unkind words, which caused Bai Hua's fairy demeanor to show his secrets again.

"You young man, the old man kindly reminded you..."

"Shut up, just say what you want to do. If you take me, I'll give you these three fake Linglong beads. If you don't take me, why do you want me? I'll trample you to death now."

Kamui, who had been squatting on the ground to talk to Bai Hua, stood up, lowered his head and smiled, and raised his feet to demonstrate to Bai Hua.

"Ahem, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated. It's a good thing. You said that the old man can get rich rewards without any effort. Naturally, he yearns for it, but there may be many dangers along the way. The old man said it for you .”

"Talk as you walk, be concise, and take a fake history lesson in brackets, and you will be trampled to death."

Kamui straightened his collar, followed Bai Hua, who was accustomed to quickly switching into the role of tour guide, and headed for the depths of the cave.

"Hey, let's go, is there such a gullible person?"

Afutu couldn't help but took off the earphones and complained to Su.

"Mr. Afutu is testing me? Do you think I can't see the problem?"

Su also took off the earphones and smiled at Afutu.

As soon as Bai Hua appeared, Su turned off the image display on the screen, and switched to listening to the sound with headphones, so as to isolate Qianxia's subordinates from spying behind her.At this time, Bai Hua's matter was basically settled, and she didn't have too many worries when talking with Afutu.

"It's not a test. Is it necessary for uncle to test you? Miss, you must understand what Shenwei is up to, so you're not worried at all?"

The uncle is very worried, no one is looking at Shenwei, who knows what earth-shattering things he will do.

"It's not a test, so it's a complaint? Mr. Afutu doesn't want to speak up by himself, so you want to hear me blame Shenwei?"

"Forgive me, miss, uncle just doesn't have the strength to speak."

"Okay, for the sake of Mr. Afutu being so troublesome, let me criticize Shenwei."

Su blinked sincerely, seeing the same expression as Shenwei made Afutu feel heartbroken.

"The history popularization course of the brackets is full of loopholes. Since you heard it, you should expose it as soon as possible. It made me almost fall asleep. Mr. Afutu, think about it. The brackets say that their ancestors were long ago. Since they were able to migrate at the cosmic level in a 'certain' way, why didn't they think about migrating again no matter how hard they survived or even became extinct?

"Let's just assume that they used expendable energy and couldn't escape, so they went through changes, and the origin of the 'Linglong Beast' was replaced by the brackets. But, according to the brackets, it just wanted the fakes in Kamui's hands." For Linglongzhu, there is no need to explain every step of the evolution of your own ethnic group in detail, let alone the black history without glory. As long as they are false brackets, you can directly introduce the result of leading the way for Shenwei, popular science Is so much out of interest?

"Also, Mr. Afutu, does Mr. Afutu think that the Linglong Pearl, the fake Linglong Pearl and the fake Linglong Pearl, are just like game props. Linglong Pearl is a modified prop. Once modified, it will be used for life. It’s just that there is a certain limit to the number of transformations; the fake Linglong Pearl is a blood-increasing item, the more you accumulate, the more confidence you will have, and you must be careful not to clear it. Although the fake brackets are mixed with half-truths and half-false words, this point is about real.

"These things can be understood by Kamui after a little thought. He knows that the brackets are full of evil intentions and hastily followed. Although it is a good thing to be confident that he can solve the traps waiting in front of him, but... it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. The brackets as a whole The standard is so weak, I really can’t help but be confident. The fake bracket should also know that Shenwei doesn’t believe it at all, pretend to believe its rhetoric and follow it, and then kick it away after using it, um, maybe it’s a kick Explosion? Well, in short, I clearly felt the killing intent of Shenwei, pretended to be confused, acted in a way, and had a good hole card in my hand, so I had nothing to fear. Both sides knew that the other had bad intentions, and also knew The other party knows that he has bad intentions, but he still acts so friendly, it's so fake, and he doesn't want to hear the follow-up talk."

"..."

"Why don't you speak, Mr. Afutu?"

"I don't know where to start."

Are you criticizing Kamui?Shouldn't it be called "forced interpretation"?Uncle just understands this and feels tired, because it means that the level of disasters caused by Shenwei is gradually rising. Miss, who are you still explaining to?

Afutu glanced at the dark crowd behind him, and the communication device equipped on someone in the crowd, and wanted to wear glasses to cover his eyes.What he said earlier, the opportunity to escape is fleeting, and the eldest lady is about to go crazy.

"Why is there such an expression on his face, Mr. Afutu. Doesn't my analysis always show the odds of Shenwei's victory? There is no need to be so sad."

Su stood up, stretched beautifully, and then, as if he saw the black crowd and remembered that he had forgotten all of them, he tapped his head in shame, and put his palms together on his right cheek with a smile.

"What are you all doing standing here? Oh, I see, Kamui and Qianxia went down to the dark ant hole to dig gems for Fengxian boss. It's really boring for so many of us to wait. How about it? Shall we play together?"

Qianxia's subordinates looked at each other.The recent gossip of the Seventh Division revolves around this girl who suddenly appeared beside Shenwei.It is said that Shenwei and her are very close, it is said that Master Fengxian has the idea of ​​​​soliciting her, it is said-this is not a rumor, it is Afutu who personally spread the title of "Miss".

Although the Yetus of the Seventh Division hoped for more gossip, there were not many opportunities for close contact, let alone those who belonged to Qianxia's camp.They watched the video from the camera before, but they didn't see any reaction from the eldest lady. They heard her talking to Shenwei with gentleness and tenderness, but they only thought she was soft-tempered.But then she decisively turned off the image and sound, which seemed to show that she was not a weak girl who simply clings to Kamui.Through the conversation with Afutu, the sudden explanation was obviously intended to reach Qianxia's ears, maybe the eldest lady has a chest?

Su's performance was erratic, and Qian Xia's subordinates couldn't make up their minds for a while, but it was still the bold Zi Ye Tu who came to peek at the camera screen first, and spoke boldly.

"How does Missy want to play?"

"Oh, did you agree without asking what to play? A social person after an adult is refreshing."

Wait, who promised you!

The bold Ziye Tu wants to repent, but as an adult social person, under the watchful eyes of his colleagues, he really can't do anything worse than an underage girl in the opposing camp, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.

"If you have any ideas, Missy, you can tell them."

"Well, you don't have to be so restrained, just waiting to be bored, I was just thinking about finding something to pass the time, if it's inconvenient for you all. Mr. Afutu won't participate, so I don't know if you and I can play together Woolen cloth."

"I attended."

Afutu stood up and stood behind Su.What he really wanted to do was find a place to bury himself.

This time the scene looked completely like a confrontation between the two sides, Qianxia's subordinates couldn't help but refuse.Nearly fifty to two, and it was originally Su's proposal, Bold Ziye Rabbit asked Su again what he wanted to "play" and how to "play".

The scene basically met expectations, Su squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, dazzled the eyes of many Yetu on the opposite side.

"Let's gamble, gamble."
