One of the Twelve Kingdoms

Joshya thought he had returned to Qiao Country.

He stepped on the lush grass, and the firm touch of the soles of his feet immediately made him realize that he was stepping on a transparent floor.

This room is very large, and the trees of various shapes are forming a barrier to cover the sky and the sun. The realistic sky light leaks into the branches and leaves, and the lake is shimmering with silver light.A huge white ancient tree stands in it, and the branches are covered with large and small white fruits.Joshua estimated that at least ten of them could barely hug the main trunk, and the intertwined roots and branches were stuck in the lake water.

"This is Limu." Everyone was indulging in such an amazing sight.Josh couldn't help approaching, and frowned when the lines of the bark were clearly visible: "It's man-made, but it's ingenious."

But when they stepped on the transparent glass floor and saw the lake below rippled, all this was so real.He longed to touch it, but the bush was a natural obstacle, and he could only walk around it, and then saw something even more startling.

"What is this?" He pointed to the motionless creature sitting by the lake with its lower body submerged in the water and asked the woman who had been following him closely, she was in charge of reception and explanation.The other party's shocked and unbelievable look was not unexpected, she explained a little proudly: "This is a mermaid, and the whole world can only see it here."

"Of course I know it's a mermaid...Oh, my God, you killed her." Joshya stared at the dead face of Duhuhu. But he died here and was made into a specimen and displayed to the world.

"Josh, are you okay?" Alexander, who had been only paying attention to Joshya, immediately noticed the ugly look on the other side's face. As soon as he opened his mouth, Joshya raised his lips angrily, "Not good!" Suddenly realized something, pushed the others away and looked around, and then he found the reason why the unicorns were disgusted.In this landscape of the Twelve Kingdoms simulated by humans relying on fragmentary information and imagination, whether it is a red eagle flying in the sky or a strange beast running in the forest, they are all placed in fixed postures, and they have already lost their breath. Joshya You can almost hear the sound of blood coagulating under those gorgeous furs.

The entire exhibition hall is like an overused, gorgeous to erosive oil painting, full of bloody and dark dead air.

"God, what did you do..." Joshya murmured.

"If you are interested in these specimens, I would be happy to show you the production process." The female commentator smiled and said: "These specimens are phagocytosis, and it is very difficult to cultivate. Most of them survive for only three to ten minutes to three days. Inside There are some even rarer ones that Mr Vincent will be pleased with for his money."

"What?" Joshua thought he had heard it wrong, and hope was ignited for a moment: "These are the real ones? Where are the real ones?"

"Sorry, it's not for sale, sir." The woman glanced at the folder: "That's not within the scope of the contract, but if you're interested in it, we can make an exception to sell it occasionally. Beautiful and docile creatures like this have always been very popular. good."

"Oh, of course, please take us there." Joshua quickly agreed. They obviously didn't want to let Vincent, a big client, and would try their best to meet their requirements.He looked happily at Xun Qi, but the latter frowned, as if he didn't regret Shi Ling's life at all.Joshua observed the other party's expression, and then gave Yanqi a confirming look.

The exhibition hall closed the door behind them, and they walked into the next room, which was as white and cold as an operating room, with only a glass coffin in it.

Standing in front of the glass coffin, the woman cleared her throat and whetted their appetite mysteriously: "Dear guests, you are about to see the most precious creature here, and it took decades and countless years just to find its trace. Financial resources, but we got it in the end."

She lifted her chin triumphantly and turned her body sideways to accept their surprise.

Joshua had already guessed what it would be, but when he saw a person wearing a golden silk white robe lying inside, with his hands folded in front of his chest, long transparent silky hair hanging down his body to his feet, and the They still couldn't help gasping when they saw the lifeless face exactly like Gong Qi's.

The deity is here, and everyone knows that this is just a naked body, but because Gong Qi changed her attire in advance and hid her long hair, the woman didn't notice any abnormalities.

Yanqi is more than 600 years old, but he has never seen the appearance of his family members after death. Once the Qilin dies, the body will be taken away by the envoys who were alive to share the food.In this way, he did not suffer from the disease of injustice, and the peaceful death of Qilin caused some indistinguishable emotions in his heart.

Alexander curled his lips: "Your technology is not very good, do you die as soon as you get it out?"

Yanqi asked: "How many more do you have?"

The commentator automatically ignored Alexander's provocation, hesitated for a while and replied with a lack of confidence: "There are only two. This one survived for two days and five hours and then died, but the other one is in very good condition." In order to prove the truth of what he said , they were brought into the most unknown and mysterious area of ​​the base.

Anyway, for the commentator, as long as everything goes well, this seemingly ordinary blond boy will be her new boss in half an hour.Vincent is really generous. The boy looks to be about the same age as Vincent's youngest son. Maybe the rumor that he loves the cute little boy is true.

The commentator was gossiping quickly in his head, but the attention of the others was completely attracted by the bodies enclosed in the glass pillars around them.

"Are they alive? Or are they dead?" Joshua looked at several identical creatures, each with various tubes attached to their bodies, with their eyes closed, like a mass-produced factory, and there were even others he had never seen before. biology.

"It's hard to say." The commentator shrugged, "Don't touch it." The woman stopped Jason's movements, and the unformed creature shook slightly in the container.

They soon saw another unicorn, curled up in the corner of the bed with a metal ring on his ankle, looking pale and weak, with clear and frightened eyes like a child's.

"I03, stand up."

The unicorn moved after hearing the command, and the qilin also froze.

"It has some flaws, it can't speak when it's born, but it can understand our words without learning." The woman explained, the thin version of Qiqi blinked, and when he saw Joshya, he suddenly froze, Immediately, she rushed over excitedly and looked at him on the glass, with tears in her eyes.

Joshua was stunned by the other party's sudden action, and the commentator was also taken aback. After realizing it, he immediately ordered I03 to back off, explaining: "Sorry, it never does this normally."

"He has no malicious intentions." Joshua looked at him, "Can you open the door?"

"This... no, we can't guarantee that it won't attack humans."

"No." Joshua insisted, the woman could only ask someone to open the door, and I03 stood in front of him alive.Joshua hesitated for a moment, and called, "I03?"

The face that seemed to be withdrawing from Gong Qi smiled as if relieved, and the next second a gentle pale golden light enveloped him, and the light continued to expand. When the golden light disappeared, a silver-white man the size of a deer The mythical beast, with its golden mane, slowly knelt down at Joshua's feet, the horn on its forehead almost touching the ground.

The scene seems to have returned to the night when Joshya was just an adult, when a cold and mysterious strange beast appeared in his life, swearing word by word that he was the master.Joshua's heart began to beat faster, and when he really understood what that meant, he began to wonder if he would refuse immediately if he did it again.

I03 knelt there deeply, and from the moment he was created, a voice was rooted in the deepest part of his heart.He is waiting for a person, he will meet a person, surrender for him, and find his complete self, which is the meaning of his life.He knelt there, swayed by the joy in his heart, and had no time to think about the reason. The ancient oath seemed to have been doomed since the beginning of the universe, and there was no other choice but to obey.

Never leave the imperial court, never disobey the imperial edict, pledge loyalty, and take this oath.

I forgive.

I03 seemed to see the other party's promise from the boy's eyes, and lightly touched his instep with his forehead in relief.

my king.

"...he is dead." After a long time, Yanqi whispered.Joshua looked at the motionless unicorn as if waking up from a dream, and reached out to touch it. Its body tilted and fell to the ground.

The commentator was also dumbfounded seeing this inexplicable change. Joshya raised his hands and took a step back: "This is none of my business." The corner of the latter's mouth twitched, and then asked the staff to clean up I03.

"This is the last one." The person who usually took care of it sighed. Alexander suddenly found a black pattern on the unicorn's buttocks, and asked, "What is that?"

"This? In order to facilitate observation and recording, each creature will be marked."

"My lord, please leave." Yan Qi tightened his scalp, and suddenly said, he kept his head down, his dark eyes seemed to recall some extremely terrible things and filled with fear, his hands were tightly clasped by his sides.

"What's wrong?" Yanqi's expression was very strange, Joshua looked at Yanqi for help, the latter checked his condition, frowned and said: "Yutaifu's body is getting weaker and weaker, so he must be sent back as soon as possible." After finishing speaking The look is also ugly: "There is a smell of blood nearby."

Joshua moved his nose, but he didn't hear anything, and the voice didn't appear again, so he said, "Then let's go find Vincent now."
