The Dragon King is weak and helpless but can eat [Interstellar]

Returning to Xingdu, on the third day on the ship, Shen Chaomu received an anonymous document on his terminal.

It was from Shen Hua.

Shen Zhai's terminal has basically been cracked, and there is not much content left, which can be obtained within five or six days.

The part about the church is well-organized, and the private data is very messy: it seems to be exported again and again from many different terminals, and some files are not read in the right format, even after transcoding, there are garbled characters.

After all, it was hundreds of years ago.

At night, when Long Shiyu was leaning on the bed to fight the landlord, Shen Chaomu began to read these materials.

He didn't touch the part about the church - indeed, as he and Shen Hua said, he had been a workaholic for several months. After the decisive battle, he was tired and didn't want to watch serious things for the time being.Anyway, besides him, there are many people who can analyze it.

The first thing I opened was Shen Zhai's record, that is, he wrote down some things he encountered during the journey, such as where the roses were beautiful, and where the castle decoration was gorgeous.Each record has a maximum of two or three sentences. Sometimes I write every day, and sometimes I don’t write it for several months.

It looks very ordinary.

Or maybe it's too ordinary, completely inconsistent with his crazy and gloomy appearance.

No matter how you turn down, the same is true.

No matter how wonderful the journey has been written so many times, it has become sparse and ordinary, and it is still a long time to go through it hastily.

Shen Chaomu turned and clicked on the video again.

All the videos are from hundreds of years, there is no recent record, so the damage is the most serious, the picture cannot be holographically projected, and there are flashes of dots from time to time, so everything becomes jagged.

After cracking, the number of plays of each video was displayed on the terminal—all of them were alarmingly high, and the plays in recent weeks have become more intensive, especially on certain nights. At three or four o’clock in the middle of the night, he looks like a psychopath Watching those videos again and again, until dawn broke.

It's a bit like a patient with OCD, who can only keep repeating actions to avoid anxiety.

Shen Chaomu hesitated for a moment.

Because of work, he also checked other people's privacy and repeatedly analyzed their behavior and trends.It's just that it was completely business-like at the time, and there was no extra emotion, it's not like there is no public office now.

This subtlety only existed for less than a second.After all, he is an opponent who has fought to the death, no one is more qualified than him, and he wants to know what kind of person Shen Zhai is.

Shen Chaomu clicked on the most played video.

The beginning of the video is very shaky.The color tone of the picture is golden yellow, which is bright sunshine.

Then a strange man appeared, quite young, holding up the terminal and laughing while taking pictures: "Then I will start recording?" He adjusted the angle a little, and the camera finally stopped shaking, and he could see the barbecue pit and swing in the garden.

Shen Chaomu didn't know who he was at all, so he used the terminal for face recognition, and a name popped up: "Shen Jiayi".

He is Shen Di's cousin.

Shen Jiayi held the terminal and walked all the way. There was a table next to the barbecue pit, and someone was cutting something intently.Shen Jiayi leaned over: "Hurry up, Shen Zhai, hurry up and smile, I'm going to record a video for Second Uncle to watch."

Shen Zhai looked at the camera perfunctorily, and continued to change the squid on the cutting board into a knife.He looked young at this time, and his face was not that sickly pale.

Shen Jiayi was dissatisfied immediately, and squeezed his shoulders again: "Smile and smile, or your father will definitely say you again."

Shen Di was so annoyed by him that he couldn't help it, so he forced a smile.

Only then was Shen Jiayi satisfied, and he walked in the garden holding the terminal and said - they just moved here and introduced their new home to the elders.He talked a lot, babbling a lot, Shen Zhai's impatient voice came from behind: "Come and help!"

"Okay, okay." Shen Jiayi turned around, put the terminal beside him, and marinated chicken wings with Shen Di.

They moved quickly, chatting slowly while preparing, and quickly prepared everything for the barbecue.

It was getting late, the sky was a faint purple, and the doorbell sounded in the background, Shen Jiayi raised his head and said, "Here we come."

He wiped his hands and ran to open the door.Shen Zhai continued to wash vegetables, expressionless.After a while, two children ran in like the wind, screaming in the spacious courtyard, and even grabbed Shen Zhai's body and shouted loudly: "Cousin, cousin!"

Only then did Shen Di really smile: "Don't make trouble, things are not finished yet."

The children didn't listen at all, and went to swing again, one was responsible for pushing and the other was responsible for screaming.

The terminal camera was facing the courtyard, and five or six people appeared one after another, including men, women and children.

Shen Jiayi held up the terminal and went over: "I'm recording a video for Second Uncle and the others." Then everyone greeted the camera - it looked a little silly and warm.

Soon the fire in the barbecue grill was raised, they gathered together, the squid slowly curled up in the high heat, the flower knife was changed beautifully, the chicken wings became golden, and the sauce was even more fragrant, and the oil was even more delicious. Almost dripped into the fire.

The two children were scrambling to eat, Shen Jiayi said: "Hey, be careful..."

A child pointed at Shen Zhai, and said in a childish voice, "Cousin, he is already eating."

Shen Jiayi turned his head and saw that Shen Zhai had already eaten a piece of squid in one bite.

Then his face froze.

Shen Jiayi hurriedly said: "If it's hot, just spit it out..."

Shen Zhai didn't care about it, he swallowed it abruptly, and even drank a few mouthfuls of ice water.The child next to him was elated and clapped his hands violently: "My cousin is really amazing!"

When the thing was half baked, it seemed that there was a communication request.Shen Jiayi nodded and called out: "Second Uncle, didn't you say you didn't have time to call?"

The camera turned slowly, and took pictures of everyone around the table, and everyone talked about their misses that they hadn't seen for a long time.The two children rushed to talk, their faces were crowded in front of the camera, and the orange flames continued to dance, creating a lively scene.

The following videos are almost like this.

The occasional fluctuations in the picture are still there, flashing the outlines of everyone into a jagged shape, and there is even a rustling sound at the end, and the screen is black until the end of the video.

This video is one or two hours long, but it has been watched so many times in its entirety.

After Shen Chaomu exited the video, he did a little research.

These people were also relatives of Shen Zhai. According to the records, the four of them were attacked by dragons during a vacation, and all of them died, including the two children.

The dragons were eager to compete for the throne from Roa Enoch, and attacked the city in large numbers, preying on humans and other strange beasts, and were not hunted until two years later.

There are many other things recorded like this, and these people are not unique.That's why, the hatred for alien beasts has always been imprinted in people's hearts. Even if today is different from the past, this emotion cannot be erased.

Other videos are like this scene, or friends or relatives.

Every time Shen Chaomu and Long Shiyu saw Shen Zhai, they seemed to see him with a pale smile.But Shen Zhai in this video is different, with a calm expression, and he doesn't even want to smile in front of the camera, which fits his character in the records.

Later, fewer and fewer people appeared in the video.

It was like the end of a feast, and at the end even Shen Jiayi was gone.

After that there is no video.

It's similar in his photo album, where a group of people get together lively.

In one of the group photos, Shen Zhai finally smiled, although only a little, with a little shyness.

It doesn't look indifferent, but simply uncomfortable in front of the camera.There was a child hanging on his lap like a koala, looking at him with love and admiration in his eyes.Shen Zhai had to grab her with one hand to prevent her pants from being pulled off.

In addition to the photos of him with his friends and family, there is another one in the hospital.

That seems to be the only photo Shen Zhai took by himself. There are fresh fruits beside the hospital bed, the flowers are blooming brilliantly, and the water droplets on the petals are extraordinarily crystal clear.Sitting next to the bed was a boy eating an apple. Because of the backlight, the photo was taken so fast that his appearance was not very clear.

It's Long Shiyu.

That day, Long Shiyu accidentally rescued the seriously injured Shen Zhai and sent him to the hospital.Shen Di didn't know his identity, and Long Shiyu couldn't predict the future either.This was their first encounter, and it was also the most peaceful one.

Shen Chaomu thought about it, and felt that the number of video playbacks increased in the next few weeks, perhaps because of Mestan's blockade, Shen Di could not get the light rain.

Even if there were no more beasts, his mental power would still be very confused. Without Guang Yu, he might not even be able to remember who he was.

After Augusta was arrested, he also mentioned that he had seen Shen Zhai's death in countless ways.

Either they were swallowed alive by strange beasts, or died of convulsions from the toxin, or their spines were directly crushed by vines.

These deaths were enough to cast a shadow over Augusta, but Shen Zhai didn't show anything, maybe he was used to it long ago, but the sense of despair probably still took root in the depths of his soul.

Long Shiyu finally finished fighting Landlords, and the music of bankruptcy came.

He leaned over and took a look: "So, have you come to any conclusion?"

"No." Shen Chaomu closed the terminal, "It looks normal, probably because of the accumulation of death and devouring, the spirit finally couldn't bear it, which led to a pathological attachment - after all, he seems to have only one wish for so many years We will also find ways to get to know him better, maybe in his contradictory soul, the former hero Shen Zhai will occasionally come out."

Loathing my own madness and sin in those late nights.

Maybe when he saw Shen Chaomu, he was filled with jealousy.They are all unparalleled geniuses, but Shen Chaomu is surrounded by people who love him.How lucky.

Shen Chaomu added: "Now everything has gone to the grave, and in a few decades, maybe not many people will remember him. In the past, my family always said that they wanted me to be remembered in history, but in fact, after waiting In the future, even if all good and evil can be passed down, heroes and villains are just symbols."

"Really," Long Shiyu thought for a while, "it's the same for anyone who dies. We will never be able to truly understand another existence. However," he kissed Shen Chaomu, "I can make you slow down. Learn everything about me slowly."

On the second day, the starship slowly landed beside the star capital.

They took the aircraft all the way to the island.

As usual, the edge of the island is sharp and tall reefs, silhouetted silently in the afterglow of the setting sun.Six observation towers surround the island, black and gray, covered with pot shells.The black and red flags on the top floor are hunting, and the winged lions are fighting the evil dragons.

Shen Chaomu looked at the observation towers and said: "Before, the children of the Shen family had to watch the night alone. The strange beasts don't like staying here anymore. This is just to exercise their courage and let them get used to hunting alone. loneliness."

"You too?"

"Well. I can only hear the wind and the waves when I stay here alone at night," Shen Chaomu recalled. "I looked at the sea in the middle of the night, and I could only see darkness. I wondered if there were any prehistoric things hidden under the sea. monsters that have never been discovered."

"Maybe there really are." Long Shiyu said, "There are also many things in this world that I have never encountered before."

Shen Chaomu smiled and rubbed Long Shiyu's head, pointing to the soft touch of the black hair.

He has always disliked this place, and every time he comes back, he feels uneasy, and the cold air reminds him of the loneliness of the night watch——

At that time, only the bright yellow light of the lighthouse passed through the sea, illuminating the fog like ghosts.The reef is like a dog's tooth, cutting through the whistling salty sea breeze.

It looks like the end of the world in this way, and no one will hear you if you shout.

Occasionally, I couldn't hold back and fell asleep, and I would have some bizarre dreams. Looking back now, it looks like a sporadic memory from a previous life.

But this time back, it feels completely different.

That feeling of loneliness never came back.

Perhaps it was because there was a warm dragon by his side, looking curiously at everything on the island.

This is the first time a dragon has set foot on this island.

Long Shiyu followed the princess up the stone steps to the palace on the top of the mountain.Shen Chaomu pushed open the door, walked forward in the darkness, and finally pushed away a stone wall with his mental strength.

"Wait for me outside, I'll be back soon." He whispered to Long Shiyu, and walked into the familiar trial hall.

It's still the alchemy formation under the feet, and it's still the flying souls, but this time they are so angry that they are flying all over the sky.

The leader said sharply, "Shen Chaomu, do you know why we let you come back?"

"Of course I know." Shen Chaomu replied.

A spiritual body said sharply: "Shen Xing's cowardly genes are indeed in you... I, I said a long time ago that I shouldn't trust you that much!"

"Traitor! You are also a traitor!"

"Renege on the letter!"

"Not only did you destroy the throne, but you even hang out with Akasamo? You have no face to see all the heroes in the underworld!"

Shen Chaomu waited quietly for a while, until his chaotic mental body was exhausted.

Then he said: "You can have your own opinions, but I'm not like you."

The leader got angry again: "This is the principle"

"No, this is not a principle. Including what you have always told me, the expectation that I will become a hero, is not a principle. You have no right to decide for me about those things." Shen Chaomu said, "After all, this is my life Is not it?"

The ghosts went crazy again, the pages of the bookshelf above their heads flipped while flying, and various ancient books fell from the sky.

The golden light caught the book, and then gently swayed in the air——

Even if it's just a light touch, his powerful mental power is enough to make all mental bodies retreat.Under the brilliant golden light, they let out ear-piercing screams. For a moment, it seemed as if a real ghost was cursing in the air, making one's scalp tingle.

Shen Chaomu was expressionless.

A few seconds later, a long and narrow shadow was pulled out from Wandering Soul's body.

The well-dressed appearance of each of them changed, and the slightly curved horns, scales and long tail of the evil dragon appeared on their bodies.

They realized what they looked like, and their screams became even more frantic and piercing.

Shen Chaomu said: "I've been using dragon alchemy to live, didn't I become a dragon?" He smiled again, "I will never come back in the future. With your Gao Feng plan, in the Wait here until the day when the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and then dissipate."

He turned around, ignoring the terrible and vicious curse behind him.

The stone wall slowly closed, isolating everything.

Long Shiyu was waiting outside to yawn. When he saw him, he asked, "How is it?"

"It's nothing, it's all settled." Shen Chaomu smiled again, this time the smile was real, "Let's go, the sun is about to come out."

They walked out of the gloomy hall together.

The sky outside was indeed faintly orange-red.

Following the stone steps all the way down, Shen Chaomu went around to the residential area and took a bouquet of flowers from an elder.

Then they came to a cemetery on the mountainside. The elders who had presented flowers were still there. They were stunned when they saw them, but they still greeted them with a smile, and there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of their eyes.

In a corner outside the cemetery, behind an old tree, there is a tombstone covered in moss.

Shen Xing.

Shen Chaomu gently placed the bouquet in front of her grave.

No matter what, there are still too few memories about her, not enough to make him feel too much sadness, just a dull heart.

He finally said softly: "Thank you, I grew up safely and healthily."

When they were leaving, the old tree was rustling by the wind, and a few white flowers fell, which fell on the shoulders of the two of them impartially, carrying a light fragrance.

The elder was a little surprised and said: "Ah, this is really rare. I thought this tree would never bloom again, so I didn't pay attention at all..."

"Well," Shen Chaomu smiled, "Yes, what a coincidence."

When we got back to the beach, the sun was completely out, the sea was sparkling, and the seabirds spread their wings against the wind.

Beside the aircraft, Long Shiyu picked up some beautiful shells and prepared to give them to the princess.Then he asked, "By the way, what exactly did you wish for the throne?"

"Oh," Shen Chaomu said while standing next to the aircraft, "I thought, we don't want to be separated again, so I made a very selfish wish." He smiled, "To ask the throne for life, to be honest, it sounds like Kind of like a villain."

At that time, the space of the throne was in chaos, and his mental strength tried his best to sustain it in the frenzy, and continued to deceive his identity-no matter what, he could not let the throne find Long Shiyu.

In the midst of the chaos, the Throne collapsed.

In the thousands of frenzy, the mental power that almost turned into a body cut wounds on his body.He got it by accident, the last chance to use his strength.

What he thought of at that time, and the only thing he could think of, was the abyss in the space.The throne can ask for Long Shiyu's spiritual power, but he knows what that stupid dragon really wants.

There is an insurmountable gap between the life spans of dragons and humans.

He wanted to try to get rid of the sharp arrow of time.

The blood from the cut on his cheek flowed down, he ignored the sharpness of the wind blade, and strenuously stepped forward a few steps.

"Let me live forever," he said.

— but not eternal life.

"Let me live forever, in an age with him."

The wind howled.

The Throne readily agreed.
