Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 655 Family and New Partners
Inside the Santa Alanya Central Hospital.

After emergency treatment, Xiaobai lay on the hospital bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In her sleep, she unconsciously dreamed of the scene of the Great Collapse. In order to save herself, her brother was willing to make a contract with that unknown existence.

Unconsciously, tears flowed from his eyes, and then Xiaobai woke up.

As if she noticed someone, she turned her head and looked towards the window, only to see Xiao Hei sitting on the chair next to her, with his back to her, looking outside through the window.

"elder brother……"

Hearing Xiaobai's call, he turned his head, but because his back was facing the window, the sunlight was so bright that the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

King Despair came to Xiaobai's bedside and looked at her who was still a little dazed due to the effect of the medicine.

He didn't say much, but took out the golden glasses that Arikira gave him from his windbreaker and put them in Xiaobai's hand.

"Take his eyes from your friend, and then I will return your brother to you." He stretched out a finger to wipe the tears from Xiaobai's face, and the two of them looked at each other.

"That's what we agreed upon in the beginning."

"...Leo is a good man." After a moment's silence, Xiaobai said in a weak voice.

"Yeah." King Despair nodded slightly.

"He told me that he also has a sister," said Xiaobai.

"I know."

"Very much like 'us'."

"Maybe..." At this point, King Despair began to get a little impatient.

Xiaobai didn't pay attention to the tone of King Despair, but just closed his eyes tiredly:

"I want to be friends with Leo."

"Impossible!" King Despair no longer maintained his gentle tone and categorically denied her words, "Are you confused after sleeping? Are you stupid? Do you really understand what you are going to do next?!"

Xiaobai opened his eyes and looked at King Despair sadly. King Despair's voice was still as hard as iron:

"The chips are sufficient, the cards are complete, you are the player and I am the dealer, the game has already begun! Now that you have placed your bets, you cannot leave until the game is decided... It's the same for both of us."

The harsh voice also dispelled Xiaobai's sleepiness and the trance brought by the drugs, and she finally saw clearly the pupil color of the person who was talking to her.

Then, the sad and relaxed expression suddenly disappeared, his pupils shrank, his eyes widened, and he became terrified.

Under the influence of the sunlight, the red pupils of the King of Despair sparkled like gems. Seeing that Xiaobai had finally woken up, he also smiled.

"Say my name."

Xiaobai didn't say anything, but just tremblingly held the golden glasses that King Despair had just placed in her hands.

King Despair did not wait for Xiaobai's answer. After seeing the other party's struggling expression, he left the ward with satisfaction.

After a long time, Xiaobai, who was lying on the bed, slowly got up, turned around and knelt on the bed, looking at the photos posted on the wall.

In the center of these photos is a family portrait, which was taken when Xiaobai and Xiaohei were living in seclusion on the farm with their parents.

Looking at this photo, she seemed to remember what happened.

……

……

"William? Xiao Hei?" asked the father, who was sitting on a rock on the farm, in confusion.

"Yeah." Young Xiaobai nodded.

"Why are we talking about this again?"

"What are you talking about? It's not Dad. You said William and I are like wine."

"Well..." The father, who also had blond hair and wore a pair of glasses and looked a bit nerdy, scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "That was just a metaphor, and I was drunk at the time."

"It's okay, I like it very much." Xiaobai also sat on the rock, swinging his legs happily, "and mom also said it's good."

"Really?" The father was inexplicably proud. "Yes, maybe it's suitable for you, Xiaobai and Xiaohei."

"Well, white and black are two completely opposite colors, right? It's the same for me and my brother."

As if he remembered the fact that he had no super powers, Xiaobai suddenly felt a little depressed.

"Yeah, but even so, you two look alike to me."

Hearing his father's words, Xiaobai raised his head in confusion, looked at his father's smiling face for a moment, then lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Of course, we are twins after all."

In the distance, the mother was carrying lunch and leading the young William (Xiao Hei) towards them.

The young Xiao Hei raised his hands vigorously to greet his father and sister, and the two people sitting on the rocks also smiled and waved in response.

“In the future, if your brother does something wrong, you must help William.”

His father's voice came from the side. Xiao Bai looked at him in confusion, still smiling as usual: "You said it the other way around, didn't you?"

After all, with Xiao Hei's ability, in many cases it should be Xiao Hei who helps himself.

"No." My father's tone became decisive.

"What did you do wrong?"

"Well..." The father tilted his head and thought for a moment, "It's similar to hurting others or bullying small animals."

"William? Impossible! Hahahaha!"

Xiaobai laughed out loud. In her opinion, her brother was a guy who was so kind that he seemed a bit cowardly. Even though he had great power, he would only be careful to consider the feelings of others and would never do such a thing.

My father also laughed awkwardly: "No, of course Dad thinks so too, hahahaha..."

After a moment of silence, the father looked at the family with happy smiles on their faces, and a relieved smile also appeared on his face:
"I hope you can live happily in the future..."

……

……

Recalling the happiness of the past, Xiaobai's originally resolute eyes gradually melted, and he couldn't help but throw himself on the pillow and cried silently in grievance.

"Dad...Mom...what should I do..."

At the same time, in the tomb behind the Santa Alanya Central Hospital.

King Despair sat casually on a tombstone, feeling the throbbing of the soul in his heart, and suddenly laughed.

“Hey, haha…”

It was clearly laughter, but between breath changes it sounded like crying.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

Finally, the King of Despair laughed loudly towards the sky, with black tears of blood flowing from the corners of his eyes.

……

……

A few hours ago, after dealing with the blood realm followers, Stephen immediately arranged for the evacuation.

"Disperse! Meet at the 'office' after you've disturbed the police! Zapp, take the master and your fellow apprentice away with you!"

"No need for that. I'm leaving now - that's what the old man said." Zhap happily translated what his master had just said.

"Really? I'm really sorry for not being able to entertain you well and for the neglect," said Stephen.

"Don't mind me. I never had any expectations from you. However, you guys did have a commendable performance in the battle against the blood realm followers. Passed!"

"Uh..." Zhap was still a little uncomfortable when he suddenly heard his master's praise.

But before he could think about it, the Blood Fighting God pointed his finger at the fishman standing next to him and said, "I'll leave this guy to you. Goodbye."

"What?" The fishman was stunned, and then he found that his master had disappeared, "What?!"

After standing there for a moment, the fishman turned his head stiffly and looked at the people from Libra in front of him. In the silence, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After a long while, Yu Ren finally managed to say: "I, haven't heard anything..."

Then he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Wow! No way?" Zapp was shocked when he saw his junior brother fainted.

Fortunately, Stephen was well-informed and quickly confirmed the cause of his coma: "Did the double blow of overwork and shock cause him to faint? How pitiful."

So, in this panic, Libra welcomed a new and somewhat strange partner.

……

……

"So you are the new guy at Libra. It sounds like a tough job. Cheer up, young man. What's your name?"

"Jed, Jed O'Brien."

"Nice name."

Zheng Shu stood in the hall of Laibula, looking at the extra device in front of him with a strange expression.

In front of him was a large cylindrical fish tank about two or three meters high. It was now filled with water, and Jed was floating upright in it with his upper body naked, like a dead fish, motionless.

Half-fish-man, Jed O'Brien, the legitimate successor to the God of Wind and Blood, and Zapp's de facto junior fellow apprentice.

He has a serious personality, which is completely different from the unreliable Zapp.

Regarding his life experience, according to the original work that Zheng Shu remembered, Jed was actually a man-made product.

The reason why he is called a merman instead of a merman is because he is actually a monster born from the hybrid of humans and fish.

Strictly speaking, Jade is actually a creature from the human world.

As for the people who created him, there is no doubt that those who did so in the human world were naturally the blood realm followers who had long lifespans and were bored.

Therefore, the reason why Jed met the Blood Fighting God was actually clear. He was just one of the survivors that the Blood Fighting God happened to rescue when he was exterminating the Blood Realm's followers.

It’s just that because Jed’s existence is too special, he can’t be found in either the human world or the other world.

In addition, Jed also showed a very high talent in blood magic, so the Blood Fighting God was moved and kept him by his side as his disciple.

Because it is a man-made product, Jade's body actually has quite serious defects.

The simplest point is that he is different from those naturally evolved amphibious creatures in the other world that look like fishmen. Jed himself is not actually an amphibian, but a purely aquatic creature.

In other words, he can only live in water and cannot move on land.

Previously, the ability to move freely on land was purely dependent on high technology.

The headphone-like device around the neck is not an ornament, but a special machine used to pump seawater through the fish's gills.

As for the source of the seawater, it was actually hidden in the black leather jacket on his upper body. Strictly speaking, that thing was not a leather jacket, but something like a simple space suit.

"So you can only stay in the fish tank under normal circumstances?" Although he knew these things, Zheng Shu still couldn't help but complain.

I always feel that this guy soaking in the water tank doesn't look like a combatant at all, but more like a decorative ornament.

Even Zap couldn't help but complain:

"Why do you naturally soak in the special furniture? Will you be like this in the future? Will your personality be like this in the future?"

"..."

Jed refused to answer with a blank expression, probably because he felt embarrassed.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!"

"Well, at least you have one more member on your team to save the world, which is good news anyway."

Zheng Shu stopped Zapp's endless questioning and looked at his stomach curiously:

"Also, how come you were able to completely eliminate the fat on your belly in just one night? Have you also gained control over your own body?"

Speaking of this, Zapp immediately became proud: "Hahaha, this is my strength! Woo!"

Before Zapp could feel proud for long, Jane, who had flown through the window into the lobby of Libra, used his belly as a cushion and stepped on him to the ground.

"Hmm... Compared to the hard and thick skin of the silver poop monkey, the feeling of the feet here is indeed much better."

Jane expressed her opinion while twisting the heels of her hard-soled shoes nonchalantly.

It seemed that since stepping on his belly once, Jane's foothold had changed.

"Damn you, bitch! Get down from here!" Zapp thrust his waist forward violently, sending Jane flying.

"What? What right do you, a lustful fellow, have to say that?! Idiot shit monkey!"

"What?! Are you looking for a fight?!"

The two began to bicker as usual. Maybe it was because their master had come here and learned a lot of offensive words, but Zapp, who usually collapsed at the slightest provocation, was now able to argue with Jane.

It was commonplace for the others, but Jed, who had just arrived, was a little worried when he saw the two people arguing.

Of course, the main point of his concern was not whether the two people would fight, but that once the two guys started fighting, he would have no way to escape in this fish tank.

"Has it always been like this here?"

"Ah, you'll get used to it. They both do this all the time, and Mr. Zapp is actually used to sneaking up on the boss..."

Leo, who was leaning against the fish tank watching the show, heard Jed's question and suddenly remembered that he was now considered a senior, so he enthusiastically introduced him to the company's affairs.

"It's not just that. You have to know that this is Hersharemz Lot. Even miracles beyond human intelligence are possible." Zheng Shu suddenly interrupted.

"Oh? Is there something even more magical?"

Jade's eyes were full of curiosity, and even Leo couldn't help but become curious.

"Of course, for example, the little dwarf in front of you has actually found a pretty good girlfriend!" Zheng Shu said confidently.

"No matter what, it's too much to think that my finding a girlfriend is a miracle beyond human nature!"
