Dragon's Companion

In ancient times, some dragons with large appetites would sleep during the day and go hunting at night in order to improve the efficiency of predation.

At this time, the dragon eggs left in the lair are very dangerous.

After all, in the biological world, things often happen after praying mantises catch cicadas and orioles. When you catch your prey, your cubs may become a meal for other animals at any time, let alone embryos that have not yet hatched and have no ability to resist .

In order to improve the survival rate, some dragons have evolved a special protein that will cover the surface of the eggshell. After fully reacting with water, the entire eggshell will become transparent in the dark.

In this way, when the cub in the egg finds that the natural enemy is approaching, it can dive to the bottom of the water to hide in time, or make noise to call the nearby parents to come back for rescue.

Now that we have entered the age of civilization, with sufficient food, most of the orcs have evolved into adults, and there will be no crime of stealing other orc embryos, but this special protein still exists, but the gene expression rate is relatively low.

Only 0.003.

Just now Jiang Jiyao saw the special crystals covered on the surface of the eggshell, and felt that the egg yolk might be one of the very few cubs with defensive proteins, so he observed it for a while after Luo An fell asleep.

As expected, I met the cub for the first time through the eggshell.

But he didn't intend to let Luo An know, after all, the time for this defense protein to react is usually from one to three in the morning.

It is the time when people enter deep sleep, if Luo Press knows, maybe he will watch it at this time every day.

Anyway, we will meet after breaking the shell, so there is no need to watch it now.

Seeing the two fathers sleeping on the bed, the egg yolk lay in the eggshell and stared helplessly for a while, seeing that they really didn't intend to play with him, and lay down back in the eggshell with a grunt.

This time, the little guy also learned a new sleeping position from his fathers, laying the whole egg flat on the water surface, letting the eggshell float on his back, and then lying flat in the eggshell.

Yeah.

This seems to be really more comfortable than curling up!

Yawned.

Broken sleep.

……

By the time the sun shines into the bedroom the next day, the eggshell has already returned to its original shape.

When Luo An opened his eyes, Jiang Jiyao had already changed in front of the closet. Seeing that Luo An wanted to get out of bed, he hurriedly stopped him: "You stay in bed first, and I'll make breakfast."

Luo An didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Still resting in bed, am I still confinement at home?"

As he said that, he lowered his head to find slippers.

Jiang Jiyao insisted on pushing him back: "You feel fine, but the actual physical exertion is still very heavy. Just now I asked Section Chief Liu for you, and she has approved you to rest at home temporarily."

Seeing that Jiang Jiyao has already done this, Luo An couldn't be more aggressive. Although his stomach doesn't hurt anymore, his body is indeed a little weak. If something happens again at work, he will cause trouble for others.

Luo An leaned on the bed with her head on: "Husband, I want to see the egg yolk."

Jiang Jiyao pushed the nutrition tank to the bed, Luo An smiled and sat up, only to see the egg yolk lying flat on the water.

He frowned suddenly: "Why is the egg yolk lying flat?"

I remember that before going to bed last night, the tip of the embryo was facing upwards. The photos of the embryos in the sink that I searched on the Internet before were all facing up. Why did their egg yolk suddenly lie flat!

Jiang Jiyao took a look, and was much calmer than him: "Maybe I'm too tired from curling up, and I want to lie down for a while."

Luo An: "Can it still be like this?"

He pressed his face to the glass, looked carefully at the egg shell, and found that it was not completely motionless. Occasionally, before hitting the sink, he would twist and turn over, drawing a splash on the water, and then continue to lie at another angle. flat.

Luo An stretched out his hand and poked it: "Hey, you will lie flat at such a young age."

When Jiang Jiyao said he wouldn't let him get out of bed, he really didn't let him get out of bed. He even let him wash and eat on the bed.

After that, I put a pot of warm water on the bedside for him to drink when he was thirsty.

Being taken care of by him, Luo An felt like a high paraplegic. He touched the communicator to check the time: "Uncle will come later, should I still see him on the bed?"

Jiang Jiyao: "Just now I told my uncle that you gave birth safely, and he told you to stay in bed."

Luo An: "..."

Uncle said, all right.

At 8:[-] a.m., Jiang Jiyao packed up his things and moved all the items that Luo An might use to the bedside in the bedroom.

Looking at the hill piled up on the bedside table, Luo An couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, go to work quickly, Brother Yao, I'm still so delicate when my uncle comes to see me later."

When Jiang Jiyao turned to leave, he grabbed his neck and kissed him: "Go back early."

Jiang Jiyao: "Yes."

When they walked to the door of the bedroom, they heard a bang in the sink. The two of them were so frightened that they turned their heads to look and found that the egg yolk had hit the glass wall.

Facing Jiang Jiyao's direction, they were still hitting each other continuously, Luo An was shocked when he saw this, and the two hurriedly fished out the egg yolk.

Luo An dragged the egg yolk to check around, but fortunately, no cracks were found, and he asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with it?"

Jiang Jiyao looked at the egg yolk: "Unhappy?"

The egg yolk rolled in Luo An's palm, indicating that it was not.

Jiang Jiyao: "You can't be so naughty, your father is very weak now, you should sleep well, you know?"

Egg Yolk seemed to know that he was wrong, and rubbed against Luo An's hand, but when Jiang Jiyao got up to leave, he started bouncing again.

Luo An suddenly realized: "Is the egg yolk reluctant to let you go?"

Although embryos are generally more dependent on their biological father, Jiang Jiyao was by his side all the time during his pregnancy, and Zai Zai felt the breath of the two of them for a long time. Now that one is suddenly missing, he must not be used to it.

But now that the Ministry of Justice is so busy, he can't tell Jiang Jiyao to ask for leave.

Jiang Jiyao touched the snow-white eggshell with his fingers, and coaxed, "Daddy will be back with you soon, okay?"

This time the egg yolk finally calmed down.

After Jiang Jiyao left, Luo An put the egg yolk into the water, but this time the little guy didn't sleep much, and kept swimming quickly on the water surface, as if he was very irritable.

……

When Ah Sheng came, Luo An originally planned to go to the kitchen to make tea, but found that Jiang Jiyao had already brewed it and put it on the table when he left.

Still warm.

He took the tea and poured a cup for Ah Sheng directly.

Ah Sheng knew that he had just given birth, so he quickly took the teapot over: "I told you to rest well, why are you still getting out of bed. Treat uncle as an outsider?"

Luo An: "No way. It just hurt a little last night, but it's all fine now."

Asheng explained to Luo An that recently the elven kingdom was going to hold an ancestor worship ceremony, and many people couldn't leave, so he was the one who came.

Of course Luo An would not say anything. Although the murderer was an elf, he was not from the elf kingdom, and his uncle had no obligation to arrest him.

Helping you is out of love and not in helping. He is already very grateful that his uncle can come.

After he took Ah Sheng to the bedroom to look at the egg yolk, the two began to get down to business.

Luo An: "There are at least two murderers now. Besides the dark elf, there is another one with high spiritual power. If we catch the dark elf first, we may have greater hope of knowing that the other person may be more hopeful. In fact, we can contact Xi Han is the best, but now the signal at the military headquarters has been blocked, and there is no way to get in touch. Brother Yao has sent someone to the military headquarters to communicate with Xi Han, and I don't know when he will be back."

Ah Sheng looked at the photos taken at the scene of the crime in Luo An's optical brain, and the information compiled, and his brows became tighter and tighter: "He killed all important officials of the royal family, and looking at the age, except for the second prince, they are all 200 years old. Middle-aged people around the age of [-]. According to chronological calculations, these people were all young when the Civil War broke out."

Luo An nodded: "We also suspected it, but among the dead, there are old nobles from the northern tribes, former important ministers from the southern tribes, and a commoner. It is impossible to tell which camp he is in."

Speaking of this, Luo An also told about the group of militants who were at the scene yesterday, blocking bullets and electric current nets for the second prince.

The actions of those people are very organized and disciplined, and it feels like they are all professionally trained.

And from the accent, they are all natives of the empire, not like spies and rioters sent by the enemy country.

The most important thing is that they all carry a large number of high-end weapons.

In the empire, weapons and battle armor are strictly controlled materials at the first level. Without the joint approval of the royal family and the parliament, even the nobles cannot prepare them privately.

This has to be thought-provoking.

Not only does this person have high spiritual power, he also has a group of loyal dead soldiers in his hands, and he also controls the source channel of high-end weapons.

There are probably only a handful of people in the empire who can have such strength.

But even though the target was so obvious, they still couldn't find the specific identity of this person.

A Sheng: "Listen to you, this group of people just wanted to rob the second prince, not kill him, and even sacrificed themselves to defend him, but in the end the dark elves still killed the second prince. One didn't want to kill him, One wants to kill, from this point of view, the two are not in the same camp."

Luo An nodded: "Yes, but these two people who are not in the same camp have joined forces to commit a digital crime. I am now confused whether these two people are enemies or accomplices."

他伸手把所有死者的照片在光屏上调出来，然后在旁边写上了9、8、7、6、5、4、3的数字。

Luo An: "Currently, there are only the last two people left in this killing round. I deduce that the number 1 is Xi Han, but the number 2 is still unclear."

Ah Sheng followed the photo, from 9 all the way up.Although at first glance, there is no pattern to the order of the dead.

But if you look carefully, you can find that the last word of these people's names has more strokes than one.

The closer to 1, the more tedious the stroke.

A Sheng: "Look at the last character of the name in the royal family, which has more strokes than the character 'Hai'."

Although this rule sounds a little unreliable, but now I have no clue, and I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Luo An hurriedly opened the genealogy list of the royal family members from the optical computer, and began to enter the search criteria.

But unexpectedly, the name that popped up made him stunned.

The first one is Jiang Hechao.

The second one is Jiang Jiyao.

A Sheng looked at Jiang Jiyao's name, his eyebrows frowned, and suddenly thought of what the Elf King had said before, the prophecy of the god-grandmother.

The time is approaching.

Is that what it means?

Hastily took a picture of Luo An: "Xiao An quickly contact Jiyao, tell him not to stay alone, try to go to places with many people, I will be there soon!"

Seeing that his uncle got up to get his clothes and was about to leave, Luo An also realized that something was wrong, so he hurried to get his clothes too.

But Ah Sheng stopped him: "The child has just been born, so you have to stay at home alone. Xiao An, please don't go, and lock the doors and windows after I leave."

After his uncle left, Luo An hurriedly contacted Jiang Jiyao, but fortunately the connection was made after two rings.Hearing Jiang Jiyao's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle went to find you and told you not to stay alone, you must go to a crowded place."

Jiang Jiyao: "He thinks I'm next."

Luo An: "Just now when we sorted out the information at home, my uncle discovered that there is a pattern in the names of the deceased. The smaller the number, the more complicated the strokes of the last letter of the name. I searched the royal family tree, and the second one is you. Although I don't know if this is the case, but Just in case, you must not stay alone!"

Jiang Jiyao quickly agreed: "Okay."

After finishing the call, Luo An worriedly called Jiang Chen: "Brother Jiang..."

Jiang Jiyao was reviewing documents in the office, but 2 minutes after he hung up Luoan's communication, the door of the office was not completely closed.

After a while, Jiang Chen knocked on the door and stood aside.

After a while, Yi Wenjie from the Legal Prosecution Section held the report and stayed here again.

Then Liu Xianyi also came to find something to talk about.

In the end, even Shen Du knocked on the door, poking his head out from behind: "Minister..."

Jiang Jiyao had no choice but to put down the pen in his hand, and looked at them: "I know everyone has good intentions."

He glanced at the guards standing in a row behind him: "But there are already many people protecting me here, so you should be busy with whatever you do, don't look at me here."

Jiang Chen also spoke out to maintain order: "The office space is limited, everyone here will affect His Highness's work, so let's go, I'm here, I will notify everyone as soon as there is something, okay? By the way, I will tell you downstairs People who are down, don't come up again!"

These people were all sent by Luo An through communication. It can be seen that there are more than a dozen special police officers standing in the office, and all of them have guns in their hands.

Also a little relieved.

And Jiang Jiyao said so, they were too embarrassed to stand here, and they all bowed and retreated.

Jiang Jiyao glanced at Jiang Chen: "You go out too."

Jiang Chen suddenly showed a bitter expression: "I'm different from them. I'm your secretary. I'm where you are. How can you drive me away?"

After speaking, he let out a long sigh, picked up the water glass on the table and went to the water dispenser opposite to pour water for Jiang Jiyao, with a look of sentimentality that the feelings of these years were wrongly paid after all.

After a while, Ah Sheng went downstairs to the Ministry of Justice. Since he was an overseas employee, he was not allowed to enter without the approval of his superiors.

Jiang Jiyao asked Jiang Shen to go down and pick him up.

Before leaving, Jiang Chen still asked Jiang Jiyao to turn on the communicator, and the two kept video calls at any time.

Jiang Jiyao watched him keep asking some naive questions on the light screen, and pressed his forehead against the center of his brows: "Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen on the opposite side smiled slightly and looked at him.

Jiang Jiyao said in a low voice: "If I have an accident, please take care of Luo An for me. Thank you."

Jiang Chen's expression froze, and he just opened his mouth to say something, when he heard that A Sheng had already greeted him outside the door.

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked the guard to open the door and let Ah Sheng in.

……

Seeing that Jiang Jiyao was sitting in the office safe and sound, Ah Sheng felt a little relieved along the way, but his heart was still faintly uneasy, a kind of ominous premonition.

Ah Sheng: "No suspicious person appeared?"

Jiang Jiyao: "No."

But everyone knew that before the second prince was killed, the whole day was calm and there was no sign, but at night the storm came unexpectedly, and even the use of special confinement room failed to keep him.

If he is really the murderer's next target, no one can be sure that he will be safe and sound.

Jiang Jiyao poured him a cup of tea: "I'll show you around."

A Sheng looked at Jiang Jiyao's pile of documents on his desk, and didn't want to disturb his work, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'll just sit here. You continue to do your work."

He sat next to him after speaking.

It seems that he is holding a book and flipping through it leisurely, but in fact, he is highly concentrated, mobilizing the perception of the whole body, letting the surging wind feel the atmosphere around him, and paying attention to the movement of the whole building at any time.

At the slightest sign of trouble, he would check further, not letting go of any blind spots.

Jiang Yao got up to leave, and he would accompany him not far away. At noon, the two had dinner together at the restaurant of the Ministry of Justice.

Because this was the first time that the Ministry of Justice had a foreign envoy from the kingdom of elves visit, the staff eating in the restaurant all secretly glanced at A Sheng curiously.

Ah Sheng looked at the things on the dinner plate, picked up a small tomato and put it in his mouth. After the sour juice overflowed, he frowned slightly.

Jiang Jiyao said clearly, "The fruits and vegetables here are not very tasty."

If we take the Elven Kingdom as a reference, the premium fruits and vegetables here can only be defective products.

A Shengqiang swallowed the tomato in his mouth: "The problem of soil quality, there are too many factories and commercial buildings here. Although the pollutants will be treated, they will still seep into the soil in a small amount, changing the structure and composition of the soil over the years. Those who are dull can't feel it. Plants are much more sensitive than humans."

If you are in the kingdom of elves, there are no shops open after 8 pm, the forest and the street stand shoulder to shoulder, and people traveling will carry a small lantern. After the evening wind passes, the grass is full of floating fireflies.

Unlike the imperial capital, where the neon lights are busy, it is like a city that never sleeps.He came here last night and looked down from the suspension car. The entire imperial city was filled with dazzling artificial lights, and he couldn't even see the stars in the sky.

He didn't know if people living in this environment would feel happy. Anyway, he was used to the great forest of the elf country, so he felt endless depression.

A Sheng: "After a while, the ancestor worship is over, and I will send you some more fruits and vegetables."

The elegant uncle looked at the food on the plate with a rare expression of disgust: "This is really hard to swallow."

Jiang Jiyao smiled and finished the last bite: "Indeed."

It continued like this until three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still three hours before get off work. Jiang Jiyao turned off the optical brain on the desk and got up: "I need to go to the main brain room to check the information, because of identity restrictions, you may not be able to enter."

Ah Sheng also stood up: "It's okay, I'll wait for you outside the door."

Then the two of them took a dozen or so armed guards to the main brain room on the sixth floor.

As the name suggests, the main brain room is the place where the main brain is stored. The information of the entire imperial capital will be gathered here, not only the identity information of all citizens of the empire, but also everyone’s communication and network news and browsing records. It can be said that as long as there are traces left on the Internet , can be captured here.

Jiang Jiyao also started to think about it last night, calling out the information of all the citizens of the empire whose spiritual power reached SS, but generally people with such high spiritual power will receive widespread attention from the society, most of them will join the army, or become various leaders in this field.

Everyday trips and daily life are almost clear at a glance, there is no room for cover, and it seems impossible to be the mysterious murderer he is looking for.

Unless this person's identity information is false, he deliberately tampered with his mental power level.

Looking at it now, it is really difficult to do it, but at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, when various systems were not yet sound, some people would buy fake identity information to apply for identity documents for themselves.

Those who were replaced were mostly people who disappeared or died accidentally. They disposed of the corpses and then used the identity information of this person to replace them and live on.

In this way, the search target becomes: the level of mental power is not high, but he must have a lot of power at present, otherwise it is impossible to cultivate a group of dead soldiers with amazing quality, and there are so many high-end weapons and equipment.

He decided to go to the main brain room, call out all the people who fit this point, and then investigate one by one.

After Jiang Jiyao went in, Ah Sheng and the guards stood guard at the door.

Watching the time pass by, Ah Sheng became more and more vigilant, and he felt a familiar smell in the wind.

I seem to have smelled it somewhere.

Ah Sheng stared at the password door of the main brain room, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that the nearest guard suddenly slammed straight at him, quickly dodged it, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

It was discovered that in a few seconds, a long and narrow knife cut was made on the necks of all the guards.

The blood from the wound sprayed out like a cut water pipe. These people looked at A Sheng with wide eyes. Before they could understand what happened, they fell to the ground one after another. Before they died, they pursed their lips, as if they still wanted to Ask what is going on.

Ah Sheng hurriedly mobilized Feng to check the surrounding movements. Feng obviously didn't tell him that there were people approaching, so why were these people still killed?

At this moment, Ah Sheng suddenly felt his right hand rising uncontrollably.He looked down at the shadow under his feet, suddenly floated up from the ground, grabbed his right hand to attack himself.

But after being touched by the shadow, he felt the breath of the other party. Ah Sheng pretended to be controlled quietly. The moment the other party thought he was going to succeed, a wind blade had already found the person hiding at the corner, and suddenly moved towards the top of his head. Chop down.

With a subdued grunt, the power to control Ah Sheng's shadow disappeared, and he hurriedly chased along the stairs, only to see a bloody severed hand fall on the steps.

He didn't cut off the head, but he dodged it.

However, the dripping blood continued up the stairs, he looked at Jiang Jiyao's direction worriedly, and contacted Jiang Chen who had just joined.

[The guards are all killed, send someone to rescue! 】

Hearing the horrific screams from upstairs, as if another person had been killed, Ah Sheng frowned and thought about it, before sending a message to Jiang Jiyao.

[In some cases, I will chase someone, so be careful. 】

After Jiang Jiyao sent [OK], Ah Sheng left the sixth floor and chased upstairs.

But just a few seconds after he left, a figure appeared around the corner, as if he had been waiting for a long time.Walking to the password door of the main brain room, watching a pile of corpses squatting down slowly in front of the door, stretched out a hand wearing a black glove, stained with blood pools under the feet, and drew a bloody 2 on the door.

Then he stood up and rang the doorbell.
