{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 84

Wen Yao pushed open the door and looked at Shi Rui who was sitting alone in the inquiry room.

Dim light and shadow shone in from the narrow window, and the small inquiry room was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Looking carefully, Shi Rui's eyebrows and Shi An's have some similarities, but the temperament of the two is completely different. If they are not compared side by side, it is almost hard to believe that the two of them are related by blood.

I don't know if it's because of the lighting problem, but Shi Rui's face looks weirdly pale.

Although he tried his best to suppress it, the anxiety and uneasiness still came out from his eyes.

Wen Yao walked in and sat down at Shi Rui's.

She lowered her head and glanced at the file in her hand: "Shi Rui?"

Shi Rui habitually raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at the other party:

"Yes."

Smile.

He's pretty good at making that look.

The upturned corners of his mouth soften the contours of his face and narrow the shape of his eyes, hiding all emotion in them.

When controlled at the right angle, a smile is a perfect disguise and an invincible weapon.

"I don't know...why did you ask me to come here?"

Shi Rui paused, with a fragile expression on his face: "After the accident just now, I'm really exhausted, I think my father should I am also very worried about my safety, may I ask... when will I be able to leave?"

His words were very ingenious.

Not only did he put himself in the position of the victim, but he also revealed his family background without any trace.

However, the brown-eyed woman in front of her didn't seem to be touched.

There was not much expression on her face, her eyes were bottomless, like a pool of silent lake water.

Shi Rui subconsciously tightened his fingers.

He had heard the name of the woman in front of him.

Wen Yao.

Mu Heng's confidant, the Chief Combat Captain of the Combat Division, although he is still very young, has made great military achievements and is highly valued.

Even though Shi Rui believed that he would not leave any trace, he still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Wen Yao withdrew her gaze, and wrote lightly,

"Don't worry, I just asked some questions as usual, and you can leave after asking."

Although Shi Rui nodded in cooperation, every muscle in his body tensed up.

Wen Yao asked, "What's your relationship with your half-brother Shi An?"

Although Shi Rui didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, he was already prepared for this question.

"Well, are you okay?" Shi Rui pursed his lips, hesitant to speak.

"At least I think so."

Wen Yao: "Oh?"

Shi Rui took a deep breath, as if giving up covering up, and smiled awkwardly: "You should already know that I am an illegitimate child after all, brother... ...It's normal that Shi An doesn't like him very much. Although we have the same father, our relationship is relatively distant, not close, but there is not much conflict."

Wen Yao nodded: "That's it."

She didn't continue this topic , but turned to ask: "Shi An's whereabouts are unknown now, do you know where he might have gone?"

At that moment, Shi Rui heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

--I see.

It's to find Shi'an.

There was a look of worry on his face: "What? Is my brother missing?"

Wen Yao: "Yes."

Shi Rui frowned, lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head: "Sorry... just like what I said just now, the relationship between my brother and Shi An is not too close. As for where he might go, I'm serious." I don't know."

He raised his eyes, and suggested with great sincerity: "Or you can ask his friends? Lin Yanming, Wang Li, Zhao She, these people, they might know the whereabouts of my brother." Wen Yao nodded

, Pushing a piece of paper over: "Their names."

Shi Rui wrote those names on it.

He put down his pen, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Although I know I don't have the position to say this, but..."

Shi Rui raised his head, the worry and concern in his eyes were not fake: "Please, find He, or father, he..."

His throat choked.

Wen Yao nodded, took the note back, and said, "You can go now." The

moment the other party's voice fell, it was like a heavy boulder was removed from his chest, and Shi Rui felt that he could breathe smoothly again immediately .

He still kept that worried look on his face, and bowed to Wen Yao.

Wen Yao's cold voice came from above his head:

"...You don't seem to want to know what happened in school very much."

Shi Rui's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his head and met the woman's calm gaze.

Wen Yao's eyes were deep: "You never asked a single question about this accident."

After a short period of panic, Shi Rui habitually smiled again and said,

"After all...this kind of thing, even if If I ask, I probably won't get an answer, so I just don't ask."

Wen Yao looked at him intently.

She seemed to accept the explanation, nodded, and looked away: "You can go."

Shi Rui's back disappeared outside the door of the inquiry room.

Wen Yao picked up the note on the table, crumpled it up and threw it into the wastebasket.

She didn't come this time to inquire about Shi'an's whereabouts, nor to get any effective information from him.

Just for observation.

After discovering that he was brought here because of Shi An, Shi Rui's next state is obviously more relaxed and natural.

He wanted too much to do well the scenes related to Shi'an, which caused him to lose control of the overall situation.

This student named Shi Rui not only concealed something about Shi An, but might even try to hide more secrets.

Wen Yao called her subordinates in:

"Find someone with the best concealment spells, and follow him."

"No matter who he is in contact with, or if he has anything to say to anyone, he must come and report to me." "

Yes ."

The men left.

Wen Yao took a deep breath, raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Mu Heng's guess emerged in her mind.

The external protection of the Ability Academy has not received any damage, and it is very likely that someone has let it in.

A student logically does not have this authority.

Hope...

her guess was wrong.

Wen Yao didn't give herself any time to rest, she stood up and walked quickly to the door.

She was going back to the Authority.

Although Zhuo Fu is unreliable, but now it is her last hope to find Mu Heng.

Mu Heng felt that he had fallen into an extremely deep, extremely distant dream.

This dream was broken and chaotic, and it seemed familiar.

There was bottomless darkness in front of him.

The boy leaned over and pressed against his ear, his white arms wrapped around his shoulders soundlessly.

His eyelashes were black, his waist was slender, and his lips were cold and soft.

His arms tightened little by little.

Mu Heng heard the rattling sound of his bones.

The surrounding darkness was as bottomless as a swamp, pulling him down toward the depths of the abyss.

Before falling, Mu Heng woke up.

He flung his eyes open.

The air that suddenly poured into the chest was cold and dry, as if thousands of knives had been cut in the throat, bringing a sharp tingling sensation.

Mu Heng coughed, his memory came back, and the last scene he saw before he passed out flashed in his mind.

The darkness, the strong wind, the approaching dragon, the tail wrapped around his waist.

He held his breath, raised his eyes, and looked at where he was now.

This is a huge cave, empty and cold, and the rock presents a strange brown-black color, as if it has been melted and then solidified again. There is an irregular circular hole on the top of the head, and the cold light is pouring in from the outside. Dimly illuminates the scene inside the cave.

Almost instantly, Mu Heng realized that he was probably being brought back to the dragon's lair.

Is this where the dragon has been hiding all along?

Mu Heng frowned.

He has seen giant dragons kill, killing humans is as indifferent to dragons as trampling ants under their feet

... Why didn't the dragon kill him?

Mu Heng didn't know the answer, nor did he need to know the answer.

He only knew that not killing him immediately this time would be the worst decision the dragon made.

The man's eyes were cold and dark, like an unfathomable abyss.

He held down his aching chest and carefully examined his wounds. There were a few broken and displaced ribs, and deep bone claw marks were visible on his shoulders. Although serious, they were not fatal.

Mu Heng opened his hand and held it with his fingertips.

The sword condensed with magic power did not appear in his palm. After all, after seeing his own sword break twice, Mu Heng knew very well that if he wanted to slay a dragon, ordinary weapons couldn't do it.

that sword.

Only that sword can tear the indestructible scales of the giant dragon, cut open its chest, and pluck out the hot and bleeding heart.

Mu Heng raised his eyes and looked at the narrow patch of sky above his head.

He had to get out of here before the dragon came back.

However, as soon as he took a step, Mu Heng sensed something was wrong.

He raised his hand and slowly pressed his palm into the void.

An invisible magic barrier blocked his way.

Is this...made by a giant dragon?

Mu Heng was taken aback.

However, at this moment, there was a regular sound of flapping wings in the air above his head.

The strong wind was swept up, whistling between the rock walls, and made a sharp wind sound. In the next second, there was only a loud bang, and a shadow covered the hole above the head, and the entire mountain seemed to be trembling.

The dragon grabbed the edge of the rock wall with its sharp and terrifying claws, and the broken rock fragments fell scattered and hit the bottom of the cave, sending out a hollow echo.

Mu Heng looked up.

I saw a silver-white giant dragon landing at the entrance of the cave.

It lowered its head, its golden-red vertical pupils were like raging flames, and with an invisible strong sense of oppression, it silently looked at the humans who had been looted by it from the depths of the cave.

At that moment, Mu Heng felt a strange shudder climb up his back.

Not fear.

But... excited.

It was as if the blood all over his body was boiling, and every cell in his body was eager to bathe in the other party's blood, watching the other party wailing miserably.

As if the involvement of fate is invisible, the desire to kill whispers in the ear.

Mu Heng narrowed his eyes slowly.

In the next second, he saw that the giant dragon that landed on the top of the cave took a step back, and the shadow cast on the ground disappeared.

Mu Heng: "..."? ? ?

Before he could react to what happened, the shadow appeared again and began to fall.

Mu Heng stepped back reflexively.

He raised his head abruptly, his pupils constricted suddenly.

——The next second, I saw a lot of golden hay fluttering down from the top of the head.

Mu Heng couldn't dodge in time and was sprayed all over his body.

He froze: "..."

Immediately afterwards, more dry grass fell down, like a strange heavy rain, which was submerged in an instant, covering the entire cave.

Soon, when the haystack reached Mu Heng's calf, the rain finally stopped.

Shadows once again covered the opening overhead.

The huge dragon flapped its wings, and gracefully and lightly fell in from the hole above its head.

The dry grass at the bottom of the cave was rolled up by the strong airflow and flew wildly in the narrow semi-enclosed space.

The dragon bent down and looked at the straw-covered cave in front of him with majestic eyes.

Immediately afterwards, it stretched out its claws, carefully grabbed a bale of hay, and then carefully placed the grass in a relatively thin place, so that the entire cave became even.

The dragon happily grabbed the dry grass below with its paws, and then curled itself up comfortably.

Mu Heng: "..."

He silently stared at the scene in front of him, as if he had become a statue that couldn't speak or move.

—only the shoulders and hair were covered with crumbs of hay.

What is this dragon...

doing?
