{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 9

 Mu Heng crossed his legs and sat in the back of the car with his eyes down.

The invitation to the Academy of the Abilities is what many people dream of, but for Mu Heng, it is just the opposite.

After five consecutive years of rejection, he agreed to the invitation for the first time.

The school attaches great importance to this, and gave various privileges extremely generously, and even agreed that he could miss the first two rounds of the entrance test and only attend the third actual monster battle.

And this time, Mu Heng came here just for another secret mission of the Monster Administration.

The vehicle moves forward slowly, and the high-sealing windows isolate all sounds from the outside world.

Suddenly, Mu Heng seemed to notice something.

He raised his eyes and looked out the car window.

I saw that not far away, several students from the high school blocked a teenager in the corner, and the atmosphere full of gun smoke was about to explode.

The boy who was forced into the corner lowered his head, his shoulders were thin, his chin was pale and tapered, and he looked fragile and fragile. Surrounded by a group of people, he looked very weak and pitiful, and his hairy top looked very familiar.

Mu Heng suddenly said, "Stop for a moment." The

driver was startled, as if he did not expect the other party to issue such an order, but he slowed down obediently.

Mu Heng: "Go over." The

driver didn't dare to ask any more questions, he turned and drove forward.

The window slowly fell, revealing the faces of the people in the back row.

The deep brows and eyes were aggressive like sharp blades, the iconic silver hair was tied behind his head, and a pair of emotionless blue eyes narrowed slightly: "Is something wrong?"

Those who blocked Shi An He turned his head aggressively, ready to call someone to stop meddling.

But the moment they saw each other, their hearts almost stopped beating.

Several people with pale faces, sweat dripping from their foreheads, stammered: "No, no, sir."

Mu Heng silently watched the backs of the few people fleeing, then turned his head, and his eyes fell on No. On the dazed young man in the distance: "Get in the car."

The magic worm hidden in Shi'an's sleeve also almost stopped beating.

As a monster, of course it knows Mu Heng's vicious name, and has heard of the extraordinary intuition of this most powerful person. It does not dare to say anything to Shi An, and only dares to pray silently in its heart -

don't go! do not go!

Find an excuse to leave ah ah ah ah!

"Okay."

Shi An looked at the moving light in front of him, and subconsciously agreed.

Demon Insect: "..."

Damn it -

it rolled its eyes in anger, wishing to shake Shi'an's shoulders hard to see if he could hear Hai's voice.

Of course just thinking about it.

Dare or not.

Shi An walked to the other side, directly opened the door of the back seat, and sat in next to Mu Heng.

The driver sitting at the front: "..."

He has never seen such...a self-conscious person.

The vehicle starts slowly.

Mu Heng: "Address."

The sunlight outside the car window fell on his silver hair. The flow of the hair was like melting silver, and it appeared brighter and brighter in the limited space in the car. Shi An was a little dazed: "Huh?"

"The address of the dormitory." Mu Heng repeated patiently.

Shi An: "I'm not going back to the dormitory."

He thought about it and continued, "By the way, can you put me back where I got in the car?"

After all, the gap should be near there.

Driver: "..."

Then what were you doing in the car just now? !

Mu Heng didn't seem to expect that the other party was the answer.

He was startled, turned his head sideways, and lowered his eyes to the boy sitting beside him.

Late that night, Mu Heng hardly noticed Shi An's appearance. This was the first time he carefully looked at each other.

The young man is very thin, but his facial features are soft and round, his eyes are very dark, as clear and bright as if soaked in mercury, he looks cute and obedient, and has an extremely harmless appearance.

The notch between Mu Heng's eyebrows was slightly deep.

Although the results of the testing equipment are very obvious, there is nothing suspicious about Shi An's resume, but he always feels that something is not right - just like under the peaceful surface of the still water, there is something wrong. The dark and deep vortex circled silently.

Under the extremely focused gaze of those eyes, a faint sense of restlessness appeared in Mu Heng's heart.

"Have you considered my last proposal?"

Mu Heng: "...What?"

Shi An said very naturally: "Of course I bought you.

" He didn't drive to the lawn, and he managed to control his shocking emotions - this was the first time he served this legendary officer, who would have thought that this was the first time he would encounter such an explosive thing!

Mu Heng's expression was the same as before, he rubbed his fingertips, lowered his cold eyes, the background was dark blue, like a distant sky where a storm was brewing.

There was an indifferent calm in his voice:

"Tell me, why?"

"Of course you look good." Shi An replied without hesitation.

Especially the hair and eyes.

Dragons are very vain and beautiful creatures, and they never stingy with their love for beauty.

- although their way of expressing affection is often looting and pillaging.

"Squeak!" The harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded, and no matter how advanced the car was, the body couldn't help shaking violently.

Shi An didn't have time to finish the rest of his words, and he didn't sit still and fell forward.

A hand in dark tactical gloves supported him.

The fingers are slender and the movements are smooth, as if they contain strength that cannot be underestimated, and firmly control the thin shoulders of the young man.

He had a lot of strength, even through the thin clothes, the rough leather texture was still deeply and deeply branded on the opponent's skin, mixed with the friction of the clothes, bringing burning pain.

Shi An couldn't take it anymore.

He was very afraid of pain, so he struggled instinctively, and protested extremely bluntly: "It hurts, let go." The

driver: "..."

He looked desperate.

Hearing so many things, will he be silenced?

Mu Heng raised his eyes, and a pair of silver-blue eyes swept lightly in the direction of the driver.

The driver shivered and immediately looked away, his eyes fixed on the road in front of him, for fear of attracting the slightest attention of the other party.

Mu Heng let go.

He said, "Come back."

Soon, the vehicle made a big circle and returned to the place where it was installed at that time.

Shi Anra opened the door, got out of the car happily, and waved his hand behind him:

"Goodbye, remember to think about it!"

The person in the car didn't answer, the window that blocked the outside world slid upwards, blocking the man's sharp lines. profile.

The vehicle starts and continues driving in the original direction.

inside the car.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on his hand.

He doesn't like to touch anyone directly.

Because of this, he prefers to wear gloves when he goes out to avoid any physical contact.

- This is generally sufficient.

But the strange thing is that this time, despite the gloves, he can still clearly and clearly feel the touch of the boy's shoulders. The skeleton is thin, delicate and light like a bird, as if it can be broken with a single fold.

It made him... irritable.

Mu Heng folded his fingers, turned them over and placed them on his knees, his eyes were deep, like an ice lake shrouded in shadows.

trouble.

Shi An stood there and looked around.

The few humans who had troubled him before had disappeared. This place was not a lively place, and there were only twos and threes of students walking in the distance.

At this moment, he felt his cuff move.

I saw the demon worm crawled out of Shi An's sleeve with difficulty.

Shi An: "You haven't moved for a long time." The

worm moved its legs weakly: "...Of course!"

It is said that Mu Heng has a strong perception of monsters, and now let alone himself, just Even Shi'an was obviously not back to his prime. It was suicidal to confront Mu Heng at this time, so the worm forced himself into a state of suspended animation just now - it couldn't do this before, until that day when Shi'an controlled it With the increase or decrease of the magic power in his body, it only vaguely felt a little trick.

The demon worm took a breath, and finally got some energy: "Do you know who that human was just now!"

Shi An thought about it seriously, and guessed: "...Little Jingjing?"

"..." The worm could resist the urge to roll his eyes, but he couldn't help but raise his voice: "That's the most powerful person in the entire human race!"

Shi An was startled.

After pondering for a long time, he asked in frustration, "Then he shouldn't be short of money?"

It seems that the possibility of buying it with money is unlikely.

Demon worm: "..." The

heart is so fucking tired.

It looked at Shi An, and asked inexplicably: "Lord Molong, during your life, there should be a lot of races with different colors of hair, right?"

Shi An nodded: "Yeah! He stretched his fingers and counted: "

The elf's hair is the most beautiful, there are silver hair and blond hair, the mermaid's hair is light blue, shining like a sapphire..." The

devil looked shocked: "Then, you are all Take it back?"

Shi An shook his head: "Of course not."

He said of course: "Because it's not necessary, they are not worthy of being my collection."

For dragons, treasures and collections are of course different. of.

Treasures are of course the more the better, but only the most beautiful and precious treasures are worthy of the dragon's collection.

The devil was stunned.

It suddenly remembered that Mu Heng's family seemed to be very ancient, and his ancestors seemed to be the Dragon Slayer family.

For no reason, the magic insect thought of a related rumor.

It is said that there is a vague sense of perception between the Phantasma and their nemesis... or even, attraction.

But the worms never took these rumors seriously.

After all, the fantasy species has disappeared from the mainland for more than ten thousand years, and the rumors about the fantasy species that have spread to the present are basically speculations of later generations.

Take the abyss dragon as an example.

After getting along for so long, although they are still very afraid of Shi'an, the magic bug has also figured out the temperament of this legendary ancient fantasy species.

Of course, strong is really strong.

Lovely sleeps, loves beauty, loves to eat, and loves to act like a spoiled child, but it is not a fall.

The monster thought about it seriously.

—Wait, or is it just this one?

It looked at Shi An furtively, and began to rack its brains to think about the words, hoping to say something to dispel the dangerous idea of ​​the other party trying to approach Mu Heng.

Shi An pondered for a few seconds, and said, "If that human being is not short of money, then the previous method will not work..."

But before the demon worm could breathe a sigh of relief, the other party frowned in distress and continued: "— —I have thought about the method of digging out the eyeballs and peeling the scalp, but the technique required is too delicate, and my claws are too big to do it, and the most important thing is that it will reduce the gloss. , it will become ugly."

Devil: "???"

Wait?

Suddenly, Shi An's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists and knocked on the palm of his hand:

"Right! I know a monster that can secrete resin, as long as he turns him into a huge piece of amber, then his hair and eyes will be in the most beautiful state. Save it, and I can have the most perfect collection!" The

magic insect aphasia: "..."

Please don't say such cruel words with such an innocent expression, thank you.

Caring for the mental health of monsters is everyone's responsibility.

Shi An seemed to be aware of the gaffe of the magic insect, and lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "Don't worry, I won't do anything until I regain my strength." The magic insect said

blankly: "...

At least it has achieved its purpose in the first place.

—— Persuade Shi An to stay away from Mu Heng.

Shi An: "Okay, you said that you felt the location of the abyss crack before, in which direction?"

"Oh yes!" The

magic insects finally remembered their purpose of going out.

It raised its upper body, sniffed in the air, then pointed to one of the directions, and said with certainty,

"There!"

So, Shi An followed the guidance of the magic insect and walked around the campus, and the people around him Less and less, passing places are more and more secluded.

The vegetation has changed from sparse to lush, almost obscuring the sky, with only a little distant sunlight falling from overhead.

The road has come to an end.

It was a wall, constructed of some unknown iron-grey metal, so high and far away that the edge was barely visible.

The demon worm continued to sniff and said with certainty, "That's right! It's inside this wall!"

Shi An walked forward around the base of the wall.

After another ten minutes, he finally caught a glimpse of the shadow of the gate from a distance, but he was stopped before Shi'an stepped forward.

It was an automatic barrier of magic, covering the air like a thin film.

The guards on the side saw his figure: "Hello! Students? You are not allowed to go in front!"

Shi An obediently stopped and said "oh".

He pointed to the tall gray-blue wall in front of him and asked, "What's inside?"

After seeing the fair and clean face of the young man in front of him, the guard's voice subconsciously softened, and he replied, "This is the third freshman. The venue for the actual combat assessment is not open before the exam."

Shi An was startled, turned his head to look at the wall.

abyss cracks...

In the field of the third round of testing?

On the day when the written test results came out, although Shi Rui didn't seem concerned on his face, he still felt very uneasy in his heart.

He was sure that his grades would not be too bad, but what he couldn't be sure of was Shi An's performance.

Shi An has not successfully passed the academy's entry test for three consecutive years. If he is smart enough, he should know how to use this theoretical knowledge to learn. If he scores first in the written test, the next most important third round is the monster. In actual combat, he will have a certain advantage.

After Shi Rui figured this out, he immediately understood why Shi An spent three hours on the written test that day.

Of course, in order to take advantage of this, in the third round, he cleverly avoided the shortcomings of his lack of magic power.

Worse yet...he might even be able to finish not bad.

And his advantage in this competition will also be lost.

After all...you are the illegitimate child.

Although Shi Rui already knew his identity, the moment he realized this, his heart still felt as if a needle had been pierced, and the pain of shame was burning, but now he couldn't do anything, even he secretly provoked him to give it to him. The people who found fault with Shi An were unsuccessful, and they hesitated to say what happened.

Although Shi Rui was anxious, he still maintained the appearance of ignorance on the surface and did not ask questions.

Listing day is coming soon.

Shi Rui's surface was flat, but his eyes swept anxiously from top to bottom, looking for Shi An's name.

——Before finding it, he saw his name.

Twenty-fifth.

It's a very good ranking.

And most importantly, Shi Rui was sure that Shi An was not one of the 24 people in front of him.

He felt a big rock in his heart slowly fall to the ground, and he could hardly restrain the urge to raise the corner of his mouth.

But at this moment, Shi Rui heard one of his friends say in amazement: "Hey, Xiao Rui, the name of your trashy brother is not on this list?"

Shi Rui was startled: "What?"

He asked: " Did you miss it?"

"Absolutely not, I've already counted it twice."

Shi Rui stepped forward, earnestly, and scanned the names on the list without landing.

Yes, there is no time.

"Could it be that cheating got cancelled?" his friend said nonchalantly.

Shi Rui smiled reluctantly, looking a little out of his mind.

Although he really wanted to believe this answer, but...

it seemed that something was out of control without him noticing, which made Shi Rui feel very uneasy.

At this time, there was a commotion in front of the crowd.

Shi Rui was pulled out of his own thoughts and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, a man in a black coat and long silver hair walked up to the examiner's desk unhurriedly -

and sat down in the only vacant seat.

Almost all the students exclaimed in disbelief subconsciously.

They never thought that the only examiner who did not come was the legendary one! How could the academy really invite him? ! Everyone was excited and panicked, after all, it was the first time they could see the surrounding legends so closely.

Mu Heng sat at the top, looking up at the trembling freshman in the distance.

He swept around slowly, but couldn't find the figure in his memory, the dark eyes darkened even deeper, and the invisible killing aura was faintly released.

The other examiners also became nervous.

They communicated with each other with their eyes:

——Didn't you say that this evil spirit came only in the third round? Why is it appearing now?

- How do I know!

Shi Rui hadn't recovered from the shock, but the few people who were talking and laughing beside him suddenly took a step back, almost panicked and hid behind them. Cold sweat, pupils shrunk, revealing a terrified expression.

Shi Rui: "What's the matter?"

The boy in the lead was named Duan Hua. That day, Shi Rui revealed Shi An's whereabouts to him unintentionally.

Duan Hua's face was almost pale, his lips were trembling, his eyes were dodging, and he finally whispered the truth: "That day... we didn't tell you, in fact, we went to block your useless brother, he entered the academy by cheating. I don't deserve to go to school here, but we didn't succeed..."

Shi Rui hurriedly asked, "What happened later? Tell me what happened?"

Duan Hua shuddered, and said inexplicably, "Then... was watched by Chief Mu. It's here."

Shi Rui's fingernails were pinched into his palms, but his face was habitually put on a worried look of disobedience: "I told you all, don't trouble him."

"Later, I heard that , it seems that someone saw Shi An getting out of Chief Mu's car." Another person interjected.

Shi Rui felt that the smile on his face had a tendency to crack, his nails sank deep into his palm, and there was a burning pain.

- Good luck.

Not only does he have a wealthy family background, a good background, and an excellent appearance, but he can always escape the coming crisis without a hitch every time.

It was like that during the mock test, and it's like that now.

Shi Rui's eyes were cloudy, and he slowly gritted his teeth.

I'd like to see when your luck runs out.

on the examiner's seat.

Mu Heng retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes indifferently.

The testing machine snatched from Zhuo Fu was heavily in his pocket, and it was meaningless before it was taken out.

He frowned slightly and tapped the tabletop lightly with his gloved fingertips, making an even and dull thud.

——It was a complete mistake to reject the follow-up of the secret mission and come here specifically for the second round of interviews.

At the same time, in a student dormitory.

Shi An held a large bag full of snacks in her arms and ran back to her room happily.

A notice was haphazardly thrown on the table.

——After a long and difficult negotiation, the examiners finally made a decision: to skip Shi An's interview, let him pass the second round and enter the third round of actual combat.

Satisfied, he threw himself onto the bed and turned on the game console he borrowed from his new roommate.

Mario's cheerful sound effects sounded, and a plumber with a red cap appeared on the screen.

——Games are simply the greatest invention in the human world other than snacks!
