After hearing about the origin of the rat people, Falosa was thoughtful. She had never understood this mysterious power, and she could not imagine any witch or ancient mystic being capable of doing this. She could only classify this as a new feature of the new era.
.
"Why is this?" Xu Yang was particularly curious about this, "...why, what happened in the process of changing from a human to a mouse?"
"Living until now," Guan Wanchang looked down at the dark ground, "I often imagine that there is a powerful force that controls our destiny, a particularly transcendent existence that secretly determines which of us will succeed and which of us will fail.
, and we can only go with the flow and have no way to fight back. I believe that turning into a mouse is also the result of that powerful force, and we have no choice."
"What we can grasp is limited, so we have to work harder." Xu Yang said.
"We tried our best. In a sense, the rat people are a race more suitable for immersing themselves in work," Guan Wanchang shook his head. "Our strength has become weaker, but we eat less, have a wider diet, are more adaptable, and can survive in the dark.
Movement, being able to walk through tight places, smelling everything, hearing everything... I believe there is a place for us in the future, but not now."
"You should be one of the first batch of rat-men." Xu Yang thought for a while, there were no rat-men at least a century ago.
"There were earlier ones. The earlier rat people were in a similar situation to us. We lived in groups in the sewers. At that time, we could still see the sky when we climbed out of the manhole covers. But we were driven deeper into the city. Aizu City was built.
, I originally thought that the underground city would be our new home, but we still can't find a living space, all the way to the surrounding seabed." Guan Wanchang explained.
"That's the Rat Village. It's hidden very deep," Sally said. "A seabed mining company went bankrupt and left a geothermal power plant nearby. We grew some mushrooms to survive with the light and heat from that thing.
born."
"I have lived for so many years, and Sally is the most amazing child I have ever seen," Guan Wanchang praised highly, "She has magic power."
"My magic power can help everyone live." Sally pointed her finger at a particularly weak mouse among the rats. Under the illumination of her magic power, it immediately strengthened and discovered the changes in its body. She happily said to Sally
kowtow.
"Under the protection of the magic power of life, your number has expanded." Xu Yang realized why there were endless rats.
"That's why we need resources. Mateo came, and he came very early," Sally said. "He brought a lot of changes and trained me with another kind of magic. Originally, he just created some arcs, and in his
Under the guidance, it becomes a kind of killing machine that can restrain the machine..."
"Electromagnetic pulse blasting," Xu Yang nodded, "Giant companies are indeed capable of giving birth to and cultivating the power of witches."
He wanted to continue, but saw the change in Sally.
I saw that Sally was sluggish, frowning, scratching the ground with her paws, and sweeping her tail uneasily in the air. Then she coughed loudly, bent over deeply, her eyes were bloodshot, and looked back anxiously.
Rat swarm.
"Bring it to me..." she said hoarsely, "...Give it to me!"
The rat people were frightened, but immediately a rat ran to the giant rat, found a dark green package from between its fur, pulled it out with force, and handed it to Sally.
As if she had found a treasure, Sally tore open the outer package, bit it greedily, leaned down, and devoured the contents crazily like a real mouse. After a long time, she let out a happy cry, her face became rosy, and her whole body became redder than before. I was more energetic before.
"You must quit 'stamps'." Xu Yang hated this deeply, "Mateo let you get it so that he can better control you."
"No, stamps allow me to think more focused," Sally breathed a little quickly, "It's good medicine, don't talk anymore, I think I have to go back and take care of everyone, maybe we rat people should hide as much as we can, don't If we think about contacting or even fighting with humans, we simply cannot compete with them."
Sally moved quickly, forgetting everything else. She climbed onto the giant rat's body, and the other rat people followed closely behind the giant rat and retreated with the giant rat.
Only Guan Wancang was left standing there.
"What do you think?" Xu Yang looked at the old white-haired rat.
"Sally must quit that thing," Guan Wanchang said, "it's eating away at her health."
"I don't do things for free," Xu Yang said. "Since you have lived here for so long, you must be very familiar with all the terrain nearby."
"We have great ears and eyes, so you can know anything you want."
"Everything, especially the kind of contingents from other companies that pop up."
"I will pay attention, and what can you do to help the child?"
Xu Yang thought for a while about the method of quitting stamps, which was either a higher-risk nerve consciousness stripping operation or the use of detoxification drugs to gradually get rid of dependence. Based on Sally's current situation, I am afraid that she will be very resistant to surgery.
"... Rose Medical has developed an anti-addiction agent for stamps," Xu Yang said, "We have access to trading companies and can import it from outside. It feels similar to stamps, but it does not harm the body. and toxicity, becoming a kind of substitute, eventually causing users to gradually escape from harm."
"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause." Guan Wanchang said, "It's not that simple."
"She can only bear this at the moment. Otherwise, what if we put her in confinement and cut off all contact between her and the stamp? Which of you two has more prestige among the rats?"
"...Then let's do it." Guan Wanchang looked back at Sally's retreating path, said goodbye to Xu Yang, and then joined the group of rats and left.
"Let's go," Xu Yang returned to the shuttle, "there are others waiting for us."
"As a group of us, we need to be more united. When the threat of rat men goes away, people will start to be half-hearted and leave our small circle of temporary refugees." Falosa said.
"Time will test," Xu Yang said, "People who are not on the same side as us will definitely leave. We only need people who truly trust each other to join our oath, Lila?"
"Here." Lila saluted Xu Yang.
"You also sign with us now." Xu Yang said, "This oath cannot be without you."
"So, I can't kill her with a back throw?" Lila turned to Falosa.
"I am a good person, there is no need to attack me." Falosa emphasized, "I have changed my mind, and I have made up my mind to be a kind and just witch god, bringing hope to the people I love." Then she added. They killed them all, hoping that the despair that followed would become more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"The pledge represents the core group." Xu Yang said, "Compared with other loose friends made along the way, the partners in the pledge will be the core team of our business."
These words made Falosa think of Pan Rui's wild dog, and she didn't know when it would be summoned to serve as a protective sword. She has contact information on the official page of the company alliance, so give her a call when you are free.
Before the ceremony, Falosa walked solemnly around the inside of the shuttle.
"Anonymous will be our secret room." She said, "This is the beginning of all our undertakings, and it is also our mobile sanctuary. It is sturdy, can fly quickly, and has a strong carrying capacity. Oh, it is like a flying carpet.
and Moving Castle.”
"So we are a secret organization." Xu Yang said.
Bacchus squirmed uncomfortably in his seat.
"What about me?" she asked, "I feel...I'm not qualified enough to listen."
"We are going to form a secret society," Falosa narrowed her eyes and looked at Bacchus who was sitting aside. "You either have to make up your mind to join our society, or you have to avoid our secret meetings."
"I……"
"You need to think carefully." Xu Yang said, "What we are going to talk about next is not just about one person or a few people, but is related to the fate of the entire world."
"I'm not ready yet," Bacchus said immediately, "I'll go further away and take me away when you're done talking."
"OK."
Bacchus took one last look at Xu Yang and Falosa, then frowned and left worriedly. She was especially in awe of Falosa now. She had easily accomplished things that were difficult for ordinary people to accomplish, so she could indeed call herself a god.
Watching Bacchus leave the shuttle and find a place to lean on the rock wall, Falosa raised the corner of her mouth.
"This shows that she is not a good person," Falosa said. "She still lacks the most basic courage."
"Don't speak ill of people like a child," Xu Yang shook his head, "If you want to maximize your strength, you must also cultivate your ability to tolerate others, your tolerance, and a mentality that matches your strength."
"It depends on whether some people are worth my time or not." Farosha closed her eyes.
Falosa recited the ancient language and summoned golden carvings from the air. Her own cat-shaped symbol, Xu Yang's bird symbol and Pan Ruiyi's dog symbol were still left on it. Other traces of the past have faded over time.
Secret rooms, symbols, ancient miracles, Xu Yang silently felt the mysterious atmosphere in the air, as if he had really returned to the ancient times where Falosa lived, when people maintained connections by blood or oaths.
"The oath is unbreakable," Falosa said. "Lila, touching it means that you have recognized us, and we can never betray each other."
"Lila... not now." Falosa whispered, "Please... don't say it."
"Before," Lila said, "Master, Ye Zi once wanted to come and talk to you. At the connection point, just before we were cornered by Pan Ruiyi, Ye Zi was going to tell you all this, tell you her true identity, she
special guarantee card. If the owner and Ye Zi had talked openly and honestly at that time, we might be in Beijing now, staying in a luxury hotel under the name of Xi Sheng. At least, at least, Ye Zi would still stay with us, and we would not be ruined by the exchange of interests.
Abandoned. And the reason why we parted ways with Ye Zi is closely related to Farosha - Ye Zi asked Farosha for advice, but Farosha persuaded Ye Zi and asked her to leave alone."
