Volume Two, Chapter Fourteen: The Closed Kingdom of Gods
"So what do I need from me?"
There may be many crises there, so all details must be discussed in advance.
He couldn't figure out what a doctor could do. A doctor's combat effectiveness was too limited.
Treatment of injuries is done after the fact, not at the time.
"There are many spirits there, only doctors can see them."
"Spirit?"
I chewed on this new vocabulary and put it together with my soul.
"I don't know what the name of the Kingdom of God is for the spirit body that emerges after a person dies. Only doctors can see it.
"It's conceivable that many people must have died there, and every dead person turned into a guard to protect the place."
"Sounds very dangerous."
Liu Xiao was curious that Thyme was so straightforward and didn't seem to have any scheming, so she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't dare to go?
"We are just wandering around the perimeter. We only need you to discover the attacking spirits in advance. Leave the rest to us."
It’s hard to say, and you won’t be able to recoup the cost of this pen by wandering around.
Liu Xiao pushed the pencil case forward, and Thyme was so anxious that she stood up and knelt on the bed: "You don't want to?"
"It's too dangerous. I'm just a painter, but I don't have the strength to maintain myself under your hands."
"No strength?" Thyme laughed out loud, "You dare to walk into my Jun Jue house alone. Xiao Guo'er doesn't dare to face my problems directly. What else do you have to be afraid of?"
The direct question was when she asked Xiao Guoer what he thought of Liu Xiao, but his answer was confident and without any malice.
This is just a judgment, not an evaluation.
"And I haven't seen Xiao Guoer like this for a long time."
Thyme stretched out her hand and patted Xiao Guoer's fair face. His eyes were evasive and he only glanced at Liu Xiao from beginning to end.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore and couldn't get any more benefits, Liu Xiao could only accept the pen.
"I can agree, but I agree first that it can only be on the periphery, and I really feel that there is danger and I will leave immediately. Also, you have to send me to Tianwu Kingdom after it is over."
"It's a deal."
Thyme signed the agreement, put on her shoes and came closer, stood on tiptoes and raised her right palm.
Liu Xiao glanced at the small hand, raised her hand and patted her.
"It's a deal."
"Hua Wuchou, I leave it to you. First arrange a place for the guests to stay and take good care of them."
"yes."
Picking up the package and following Hua Wuchou to a guest room, this is the room closest to Thyme.
The bedroom and bathroom in the room are fully equipped with all kinds of daily necessities.
Hua Wuchou explained some precautions, focusing on where not to go, such as not entering Thyme's room without permission, not entering the cockpit, etc.
Liu Xiao had no objection to this.
After all, Thyme is a member of the opposite sex and a captain. In addition to privacy, she must maintain dignity.
As for the cockpit, underground warehouse, etc., they are key locations on the Junjue, and it is impossible for you to go there by yourself.
…
In the captain's bedroom, Thyme stood in front of the table and watched Liu Xiao leave. Her red lips moved and opened slightly, revealing a small pink tongue.
She turned around and walked calmly to the bed, glanced sideways, raised her hand and slapped Xiao Guoer down on the bed with a loud "snap".
"With me here, what are you afraid of?"
This made her lose face, and even her negotiations with Liu Xiao fell behind.
And it was all because of this little Guo'er that he failed to see Liu Xiao's true strength.
The right side of Xiao Guo'er's face suddenly swelled up, and there was a bulging slap mark on her fair face.
The palm print was no bigger than his face. From the fingertips to the palm, it was all clearly printed without any defects.
After the beating, he was still not relieved, so he climbed onto the bed and stepped on his face.
She was wearing a skirt, but she said she didn't care and used her feet to rub his face into various shapes.
Of course, Xiao Guoer didn't dare to take a peek at all.
Thyme stepped on it and cursed angrily: "You useless thing, I should have eaten you in the first place and taken away your ability..."
Xiao Guoer wanted to explain, but Thyme used too much force, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence at all, so he could only sob.
Suddenly she felt something sticky on her feet. Thyme raised her feet and saw that it was Xiao Guoer's nosebleeds.
She kicked him in disgust and said, "Get out of here and get some water and come over and wash me off."
Xiao Guoer felt as if he had been granted amnesty and quickly got up. To prevent the nosebleeds from flowing to the bed and causing another beating and scolding, he covered his nose with his hand to catch the blood.
I went out to get a basin of warm water and came back, kneeling by the bed to wash Thyme's feet.
Thyme sat on the small stool he took out from under the bed, leaning against the edge of the bed and asked, "Why don't you wipe off the nosebleed first?"
Xiao Guoer replied: "I'm afraid the captain will wait too long and don't dare to deal with me first."
Thyme raised her foot and kicked him in the chest, spraying foot-washing water all over him.
"Don't dare?!"
"No, no, no, it's because I want to wash the captain's feet early and I don't have time to deal with myself."
"That's pretty much it. Let's talk about it and introduce Liu Xiao."
"When the captain asked him if he was just a doctor, I used my ability for the first time. I saw many things in his mind, and there were two scenes that were the most special."
Thyme raised her right foot to see if it was cleaned.
"One is a disintegrating building. The building has two floors and is disintegrating into pieces of gravel from the top. The second is a broken road, but there are many people buried inside. Some only have one arm exposed, and some only have one head exposed.
, and some with only one foot exposed, but without exception they were all dead.
"I was scared when I saw this, so I immediately stopped reading the mind, so I couldn't get the result."
"Then what?"
Thyme lifted her foot and shook it, and Xiao Guoer quickly took a soft cloth to wipe her with water.
"Then when the captain asked again, I used my ability again, but to no avail. No matter how hard I tried, not only could I not hear his inner voice, I couldn't even see the original picture. I thought I had lost my ability.
There was a problem, so I used it on the captain and found that everything was normal."
"So you only get the shallow conclusion that he had no ill intentions?"
"Yes, it is."
Xiao Guoer lowered his head and dared not speak.
"Forget it, it's not completely useless. Wash off the blood and come up."
As he spoke, he rolled back to the center of the bed and covered himself with the quilt.
Xiao Guoer's body trembled, and her red face turned a little pale, but she still replied: "Yes."
He lowered his head and washed the blood stains with foot washing water, then climbed onto the bed.
…
Liu Xiao put down the package and walked around to familiarize himself with the environment. When Hua Wuchou invited him to walk on the deck, he also introduced the details of the Jun Jue.
The Junjue was originally a regular ship of the Tianwu Kingdom, and it only operated shipping on the mainland where the Tianwu Kingdom was located.
Later, Thyme stole it, changed the color, decided on a totem, and started doing some gray area business.
Hua Wuchou didn't know exactly how old Thyme was. As a relatively senior person, he had been on the ship for seven or eight years. He only remembered Thyme looking like this seven or eight years ago.
Calculated in this way, even if Thyme was really a teenage girl at the time, she should be in her twenties now, and her actual age must be older.
Never ask about age.
When Hua Wuchou mentioned this, he raised his eyes and kept emphasizing.
There are only eight main crew members on the Junjue, including the captain Thyme, the captain's attendant Xiao Guoer, the deputy captain Hua Wuchou, the helmsman Linge, two helmsman assistants Xia Xing and Wang Cui, and two ordinary crew members Wu Qing and Yu
Small building.
In addition to these eight people, there are four or five other sailors, but they are all hired for passenger transportation. They will leave after completing their last work today.
This will not affect the normal navigation of the ship.
According to Hua Wuchou, these eight people are all extraordinary people, or immortals.
In view of the cooperation tasks that would follow, Hua Wuchou did not hide much and introduced the extraordinary abilities of several people.
"The captain is called the 'Shadow Hand'. I think you should have seen it. It can hide people in shadows. In fact, the captain's strongest ability is not this, but absorbing other people's divinity to strengthen himself, but this
It’s conditional.”
"Two abilities?"
Except for himself, most of the official supernatural beings of the Samurai God Kingdom only have one ability. He originally thought that having multiple abilities was extremely rare.
Unexpectedly, I later met the stubborn prodigy, Mo Congyun, Nan Jike, etc.
Now Thyme is still the first person with multiple abilities who is not in opposition to herself temporarily.
"Yeah, I don't know what the captain is thinking, why he doesn't acquire more abilities. As a captain, he can't even swim."
Wait a moment!
Liu Xiao felt that something was not right.
"How many more abilities can I acquire? Aren't extraordinary abilities passively awakened? How many more abilities can I choose to acquire?"
Hua Wuchou showed an expression that looked like a country bumpkin. Although he immediately put it away, Liu Xiao still saw it.
He pushed his eyes and explained, from which Liu Xiao understood how closed Shishen Kingdom was.
This kind of closure is purely for the extraordinary world. Before the barrier is broken, foreign extraordinary people cannot enter the Kingdom of Samurai God at all, and all external exchanges are matters in the ordinary world.
This leads to the fact that although the Kingdom of God is a very developed country internationally, the extraordinary world remains closed to the country.
Therefore, the names for extraordinary beings are different, and the methods of obtaining divinity are also different.
Everything originates from the belief in the Kingdom of God, the God of Creation and the ten Sons of God.
In fact, other countries have long found ways to improve themselves, so they are called immortals.
It means that one is not born with abilities, but acquires them later in life.
For example, in Tianwu Kingdom, all members of an extraordinary family have similar extraordinary abilities, and they collect extraordinary items similar to their own family's abilities.
After members of the family reach the appropriate age, divinity will be artificially infused into the member's body and taught him the knowledge of the family's abilities.
After doing this, new members often awaken the same or similar abilities.
Thought and spirit are the key to awakening abilities, so familiarity in advance can ensure that other strange abilities will not awaken with a high probability.
If divinity is obtained from a transcendent being, then the awakened ability is often the ability of that transcendent being.
This is consistent with Liu Xiao’s experience.
Sure enough, the closed door of Shishen Kingdom caused many problems.
In addition, family members can receive a second divine infusion at the age of twenty.
After that, if you are proven to be talented, or if you have contributed enough to the family, or for some other reason, you can get a third or even fourth divine infusion.
So a person often has more than one ability.
Liu Xiao thought of Mo Congyun. If he was also a member of a certain family, could it be that everyone in his family could change their body into any state, and also have huge mouths that stretched from ear to ear?
Nanjike's family all have the ability to control objects, and their bodies are strengthened to the extreme?
Just thinking about it, you will know how strong the extraordinary beings of Tianwu Kingdom are. If a war breaks out, Shishen Kingdom is no match at all.
Liu Xiao felt for the first time that it would be better for Shishen Kingdom to surrender directly. At least Tianwu Kingdom would not kill everyone for the sake of the north.
But what frightened him the most was thyme.
According to Hua Wuchou's introduction, Thyme's second ability is to absorb other people's divinity to strengthen herself. Doesn't that mean she can gain as many abilities as she wants?
No wonder the crew members on the Junjue are afraid of her, it's really scary.
Thinking of this, Liu Xiao suddenly became worried about his own safety and whether he could escape unscathed.
Hua Wuchou paused for a moment after the introduction, waiting for Liu Xiao to digest before continuing.
Most of the extraordinary abilities on the ship are of the combat type, only a few are special, and he went to great lengths to introduce them specially.
Xiao Guoer is the nickname given to him by Thyme. No one remembers his real name at all. His ability is to read minds.
Liu Xiao had already vaguely guessed at this point. It seemed that when Thyme asked herself, he saw through my thoughts.
That's probably why he's afraid of me.
But if he pauses in the middle and can no longer read my mind, then he might think that I have discovered him.
If you think about it carefully, this should be the real reason for his fear.
Thinking like this, Liu Xiao glanced vaguely in the direction of the cabin, but did not open his vision.
