Earth Spider wears an orange-red down jacket, with four openings cut manually in the back to accommodate her mutated limbs. This kind of handwork is common for Earth Spider, because no manufacturer will pre-produce spider clothing.
Bubble looked at the four spider legs behind the Earth Spider with awe. The Earth Spider noticed this gaze and shuddered uncontrollably.
She felt a dangerous aura from Bubbles.
This kind of spider sense has helped earth spiders avoid thousands of murderous attempts. When earth spiders enter the door, the sense of crisis keeps moving with the movement of bubbles, as scary as dense stinging needles.
She watched Paopao and Xu Cheng enter the reception room, hesitating whether to enter.
"Huh?" The wolf girl closed the door and glanced at the immobile earth spider.
"That kid makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Tu Spider admitted calmly.
"Really?" The wolf girl bent over, leaning her neck forward, as if she was preparing for hunting at any time, staring at the bubbles in the living room with her slender eyes, "I did feel a little hairy when I was carrying her on my back.
"
Earth Spider raised his hand slightly to stop Wolf Girl, but she had already walked straight through the room and entered the reception room. Earth Spider could only sigh and look around.
Let's stay here for a while and wait until Mr. Xu comes back in the evening.
"Learning ninjutsu is painful, right?" Xu Yang said, "Sometimes you can see Xu Cheng looking very tired."
Its decline is mainly due to the fact that ninja training is too painful and tiring, and only a few people can persist.
"Dad!" Xu Cheng ran over to greet her. Bubble followed her like a pair of small animals.
The earth spider sat around the kotatsu, experiencing the strong alarm of the spider sense, while pretending to be nonchalant. He felt like a prisoner sentenced to death, trying his best to appear calm in front of the public.
"Is this what the game is like..." Tu Spider learned how to use the handle buttons, and watched the vehicles on the screen respond accordingly to his button presses. He felt quite magical and surprised.
"The ninjas under Kojima Yezi are all as ferocious as evil wolves, and they are elusive. She calls them 'modern ninjas'." Xu Yang said.
"Porphyrin..." Xu Cheng also felt sad. She thought her ninjutsu course was much more interesting than wearing a virtual helmet to learn knowledge.
"By the way, other ninjas should also have ambitions to regain the Ninja Village." Xu Yang said.
"Is it worth undergoing brain modification to adapt to gaming devices?" Tu Spider feels that he can already enjoy the highest gaming fun with the screen, console and controller.
Kojima Yoko took the last step and took away a large number of reserve ninjas and trained them as confidants in Jialongpo. During this period, many traditional ninja training methods were abolished, and everything was based on practicality.
Earlier, Earth Spider was also cold, restrained, and exuded the temperament of keeping away from others. Now after experiencing so many things, she feels that she has become weak and inconspicuous. How can she change back to the cool and ferocious Earth Spider?
If you use a game to divert your attention, it should be able to dispel the fear. With this thought in mind, Earth Spider also came to the living room and picked up another game controller next to Wolf Girl.
There is a kotatsu in the reception room with an electric heater underneath. The kotatsu table is covered with a thick matcha-colored cloth blanket and there are cushions around it.
No wonder so many people like to play video games, it definitely brings happiness to people.
"She said that she already knows how to tame people. But when it comes to controlling machines, she is still a novice."
When Xu Yang came back in the evening, he saw a lot of people in the house.
Although they live on the 20th floor, it looks like there is a whole garden when they look out. The green plants, pools, rockeries and rocks are all extremely lifelike, illuminated by the warm sunshine, without any flaws, so much so that Bubble almost bursts into tears.
He walked into the wall until he was pulled back by Xu Cheng.
"Quick!" Xu Cheng waved his hand, as if a skilled boss was greeting customers for dinner.
This is where the mysterious Mr. Xu lives. Earth Spider has been here several times and feels this place is very comfortable every time.
And the Earth Spider's ninja village has declined.
As long as you sit on the mat and put your feet under the kotatsu, you won't feel cold. This is essential for winter.
"In short, something happened in Ninja Village. I have to find time to go back and I can't teach anymore. I'm really sorry." Tu Spider apologized to Xu Cheng.
"Ninjas are slaves." Earth Spider sighed. "At the end of that letter, the master also asked me, 'Have you ever had any resentment towards ninja training? Have you ever thought about what would happen if you had never accepted ninja training?'
…”
"If you can help the Ninja Village solve the crisis, you can also change from a traitor to a ninja." Xu Yang said.
The Ninja Village has always been a mysterious place. It is located in the mountains in the hinterland of the archipelago. All ninjas receive training there and have always been isolated from the world. However, they are also connected to many information systems and actively communicate with the surrounding world.
"It's just that there are still many of the most precious scrolls left with the master, who is unwilling to hand them over to outsiders. There are also some blood inheritance ninjutsu, which can only be used by specific bloodlines." Earth Spider thought of the most profound escape techniques and secret traditions.
"Her hobby of raising ninjas is really weird." Tu Zi couldn't help but say, "I don't know anyone who trains ninja elite soldiers on a large scale like her. I thought she would use robots, but now they don't all use synthetic soldiers.
?"
The warmth of the kotatsu made the earth spider feel very comfortable, and she wanted to live here in seclusion. The wolf girl couldn't rest, and had already gone to the living room to play the game console. She likes racing games, and soon the music of the game and the music of the game came from the living room.
The roar of the engine.
"Excuse me, may I ask who this child is..." Earth Spider looked at Bubble.
"Chu, first time we meet! Please, please give me some advice!" Paopao also imitated the earth spider's speech.
Is the era of ninja over?
"After the previous ninja masters passed away, only the 101-year-old Master Pu Chuan is left... The Ninja Village is indeed very fragile at the moment, almost like an ordinary village." Xu Yang said.
"I received a letter from Master Kamikawa. It is said that some hostile ninjas have appeared recently. They have continued to assassinate and sabotage the ninja village. The entire ninja village has been razed to the ground." Earth Spider said seriously.
The living room has a warm wooden floor, reflecting a slight light, and is surrounded by modern log furniture. The open kitchen is filled with a large number of kitchen appliances, from induction electric stoves to vacuum canners, just like a kitchenware vendor in a store.
Sales area.
The Earth Spider braved up and looked at Bubbles. Colors shone deep in her green eyes, as if they came from another starry sky.
"I'm back." Xu Yang hung his coat on the coat rack and put his suitcase on the storage table in the entrance.
"Master wrote to you, asking you to go back to the village to do what?" Xu Yang asked.
"Mr. Xu!" Tu Zizi told Xu Yang about the Ninja Village.
Earth Spider also encountered ninjas during his stay in Jialongpo, and those ninjas didn't even know how to greet them!
Other ninjas also stopped their studies one after another and left the village to make a living on their own. The beautiful female ninja chose to go to the sea and cooperated with film and television companies to make movies, and she quickly became popular; earth escape ninjas like earth spiders are very popular in the civil engineering industry; medical ninjas go to the countryside
Re-employment at the health station; taijutsu ninjas make money by boxing at the Anjiu City Dome Arena...
When the wolf girl loses her temper, Earth Spider can almost feel the anger radiating from her body, which has a real killing effect like a sharp blade.
"The ninja has fallen so low that he has to report the crime to the police station..." Tu Zizi couldn't help but secretly feel sad when he heard the news.
Now she knew what it felt like to be on pins and needles.
"My name is Bubble." Xu Cheng told Tu Spider, "He is a good boy."
You must return to the ninja.
Tu Zi looked at Paopao's stunned look and couldn't figure out why she gave him such a strong sense of crisis.
"Then let's go to the Ninja Village and have a look." Xu Yang understood.
Tu Zi saw that there was a photo of herself on it, which Xu Cheng had taken with her on her birthday two months ago. Unexpectedly, it was collected, which made her feel warm in her heart.
A strange expression of satisfaction bloomed on the wolf girl's face. She felt particularly excited since the destruction of the Black Fire Revolution, as if the shackles that had been chasing her for many years were broken. Moreover, the earth spider was very good, and the wolf girl could easily enjoy more happiness than her.
.
The earth spider observed the wolf girl with respect. One has spider magic power, and the other has strange wolf magic power. They are both shape-shifting types, but the wolf girl looks more powerful.
"You have to undergo transformation to do many things!" the wolf girl said angrily. She recalled the tests and human implants she had received in the Blackfire Innovation in the past. The researchers tailored a transformation plan to turn her into a crazy and shameless person.
monster.
"In fact, the nearby Nisto Security Station also received reports from ninjas. It is said that the jounin who stayed in the village were murdered." Xu Yang pondered.
"I think children nowadays prefer to use virtual warehouses to play games." Tu Zizhidao remembered that there was a special game hall in District 24, where hundreds of game warehouses were displayed, like rows of spider silk cocoons.
When it was time for class, Xu Cheng and Paopao went to study. Earth Spider sat there for a while, trying to digest the discomfort. Probably no one except Mr. Xu could answer the mysterious phenomenon of Paopao.
"Do you have an answer?" Xu Yang asked.
"It's more than just pain, it's simply... torture! When you are very young, you have to temper every corner of your body until your bones become hard, your skin becomes rough, and your body and mind become stronger. But in today's world, if you devote yourself more and more to this,
On the contrary, the returns are lower. Ninjas have lost their most fundamental ability to be human and can only rely on others for their existence." Earth Spider reflected on all this.
"...No." Earth Spider shook her head. She didn't know whether all this was right or wrong, or whether it was worth it.
One of the walls is a holographic projection screen wall, with virtual imagers produced by Nisto Company installed at the four corners. The image of the front wall can be generated, cropped and edited at will. It is now made to look like a green courtyard.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang couldn't help but ask Tu Spider about his philosophy on future ninjas.
"That's just a simple thing. If you drill holes in your brain, you can play with a higher level of simulation... But I don't like drilling holes in my brain." The wolf girl thought distressedly.
The two pointed ears of the wolf girl twitched, and she went to look for raw beef and Coke in the refrigerator. After she left, Tu Zi felt a chill down her spine again. Facing Xu Cheng and Paopao alone, she just wanted to finish explaining the matter as soon as possible and then leave.
"Quack." Xu Cheng could understand.
"Ah, first time meeting, Bubbles, I am Tu Spider. Please give me some advice." Tu Spider bowed to Bubbles.
"...Revitalize Ninja Village!" Earth Spider said.
"I obviously signed a contract and I will keep training you, but I have to give up due to personal reasons. It feels really rude." Tu Zi was very frustrated.
Huge shelves are placed against the wall. Most of them are Xu Yang's things, such as electronic tools, backup disks and rare books. The other half is filled with Xu Cheng's private collection, either photo frames or toys.
"Ah, Ninja Village... I have also collected similar information." Xu Yang nodded and asked Xu Cheng to make dinner, and then had a detailed talk with Tu Spider in the reception room.
"Can you play? I'll teach you!" The wolf girl was very happy to have someone playing with her, and her tail kept wagging.
Xu Cheng used an automatic teapot to make green tea for everyone, and filled the table with snacks, including chocolate sandwich biscuits, French fries, cookies, cream wafers, fudge and sliced sweet potatoes. Under her care,
The tabletop is as sumptuous as a food court stall.
She took out a notched forehead protector from her arms, and the rebel ninjas made notches in their own forehead protectors to signify a clean break with the past.
In ancient times, ninjas were specialized professions that delivered messages and spied on intelligence for daimyo. In modern times, they have become bodyguards and messengers for entrepreneurs. Xu Yang pondered.
In Tu Spider's understanding, as long as Mr. Xu takes action, there will be no injustice.
But these functions have gradually been replaced by more convenient modern equipment.
"Yes! Defeat the invaders and revitalize the ninja village. In this case, the master will hand over the oldest ninjutsu scroll to me and complete the inheritance of our ninja." Earth Spider thought about this, and his expression became more and more determined.
.
Pao Bao drank tea for the first time. He followed the example of others, holding the hot tea cup with both hands and slowly drinking the green tea. It was a very novel experience.
"Yes, the master gathered as many available ninjas as possible and gathered there, partly to guard against the enemy's secondary attack. According to the master's letter, they are probably hostile ninjas who use techniques similar to ours, but are more ferocious.
, and is almost invincible. If you can help..." Earth Spider sat upright.
"Ordinary villages also have hope for revitalization, but in the Ninja Village, there are few people and no fresh blood." Earth Spider became even more desperate when he thought that the prosperous village in the past had turned into what it is now.
"Thanks to the current digital archive project, most of the ninjutsu have been scanned and archived and stored in the database of Nisto Company, so that they will not be lost." Xu Yang nodded. After being attacked by the ninjas, Nisto Company also cooperated with the ninjas.
Some cooperation plans were launched here so that the ninjas would no longer be enemies of the Nestor Company.
Staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city and thinking in a secluded place can also help to open up ideas. The things we are currently encountering are difficult to deal with, such as the research and development of Hyperion, the hacker confrontation, and the fourth dying god.
"Thank you very much. Your support has been very helpful to me." Tu Spider bowed deeply to Xu Yang.
"This is what I should do." Xu Yang also paid tribute to Tu Spider.
Xu Yang has dealt with ninjas since the time of Qian Zangyin. At that time, ninjas were still numerous and prestigious. Now their inheritance is withering, and they have to have someone to help clean up the mess.
