Chapter 34
Although the blue group spoke intermittently, the black group could still understand what it wanted to say.
——You said that by evolving into a perfect form one can maintain one’s self and not degenerate into a beast controlled by one’s instincts. Is that true or false?
Given that the blue team’s tone was full of doubt, the black team guessed that the other party wanted to say that he was lying to everyone.
Its gaze lowered, and its usually deep golden eyes blended into the night, exuding a slight chill.
The blue group subconsciously took a step back.
But the next second it stopped, even though it was under absolute level suppression, it still raised its head and looked back with shining eyes.
The attitude is very stubborn: either kill me or tell me the answer.
The air seemed to freeze.
The black group did not withdraw its pressure.
When the blue group was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed, it suddenly heard the other party ask a completely unrelated question.
“The land is not like the sea. What is your purpose here?”
Lan Tuan was stunned for a moment.
It subconsciously uttered two words: “Wen Xin.”
Before he finished speaking, Heituan let out a short laugh.
“You said you came here for Wen Xin?”
The black group suddenly changed the subject, his eyes were filled with coldness and undisguised fierceness.
“But what do you two have in common?”
All along, the Black Group’s attitude towards the Blue Group has been completely different from that towards other groups.
Wen Xin thought that the two of them didn’t talk much because they were both lazy. They would just stay in their own territory all day long except for sleeping. They didn’t have much contact, so naturally they were not close.
Actually, it is not.
Black Tuan was cold towards Blue Tuanzi. In addition to the abnormality of Blue Tuan himself, there was also the other party’s unreasonable intimacy with Wen Xin.
The other members are willing to get close to Wen Xin, at least there is a process of getting along or opening up to each other.
Only Blue Group came from the direction of the sea, running thousands of miles away. As soon as they met, they pounced on Wen Xin, like a koala covered with glue. Canary couldn’t pull it off even if he tried hard.
This dog-skin plaster condition lasted for ten hours before it was lifted.
It wasn’t that Blue Dumpling let go on his own initiative, but Wen Xin was shocked when he suddenly realized that it was so dehydrated that it was almost dead.
He didn’t care about anything else and took off his clothes in a panic, and also “took off” Lan Tuan who was holding on to his clothes tightly, thus avoiding a tragedy.
At that time, seeing the unfamiliar blue ball being so sticky and warm, not only the black ball was suspicious, but the other balls also felt it was very strange for a while.
But they didn’t stay alert for too long and started fighting with the blue team.
The heart-to-heart scene is as follows.
Dumplings: What do you think of Wen Xin?
Lan Tuan said without hesitation: Wen Xin, okay.
The dumplings’ eyes immediately lit up: “Yes, yes, we also think Wen Xin is very good! You are a good dumpling, you have good taste!”
Thinking back to that house-like scene, Heituan felt helpless.
It also doesn’t know why a mutant that has been ravaged by humans can be so naive and let down its guard.
The black group sighed secretly, but did not show it on his face. He still stared at the blue group indifferently, waiting for the other party to give a real explanation.
The pressure suddenly doubled, and the blue ball whimpered immediately.
Just when its legs were about to bend, a tranquil, blue light like the ocean suddenly overflowed from the silent night.
The light emerged from the surface of the blue ball’s body, gently unfolding a barrier to help it block the pressure.
Lan Tuan caught a glimpse of the light and raised his head abruptly: “No, no need, appear…”
Its tone was urgent, but the speed at which the light gathered together did not slow down at all.
In just a few seconds, a whale the size of a palm appeared in the air.
Its body is translucent, and when it swims it scatters blue spots of light like stardust. It is elegant and quiet, like an ancient elf.
The black mass and the whale’s eyes met, but the former looked unsurprised.
In other words, the target of the black group’s questioning was someone else from the very beginning.
The whale obviously understood this, and sighed: “You are so powerful, why do you have to embarrass a cub who knows nothing?”
The blue cub, who knew nothing, stretched out his claws anxiously, trying to hide the whale.
“You, can’t, show up.”
The whale waved its fin and gently patted Blue Tuan’s head: “We have been exposed a long time ago, silly boy.”
The blue group was stunned and turned to look at the black group’s reaction.
Heituan just wagged his tail leisurely and did not deny it.
Seeing the blue ball’s look of disbelief, the whale’s tone was even more pitying: “Aren’t you going to say goodbye to humans? Go ahead.”
“But……”
The blue ball looked at the black ball hesitantly. It had not yet gotten the answer it wanted.
The whale seemed to know what it was holding on to, and coaxed it patiently like an elder: “What No. 1 said before was true, go ahead.”
After hearing what it said, Lan Tuan nodded slowly, turned around and left slowly.
During the entire process, the black team did not speak, nor did they try to stop it. They just watched quietly as the whale sent the blue team away.
When the blue ball’s breath faded away, it spoke calmly: “Number Three, why don’t you solve this puzzle for me too.”
“You secretly attached your spiritual power to No. 18 and sent him here. Does that mean you are declaring war on me?”
Number 18 is the blue group.
As Heituan finished speaking, his spiritual power as vast as the sea also fell.
Compared to the pressure that just fell on Lan Tuan, this attack was much heavier.
The whale was hit so hard that it almost flipped over.
It finally stopped its body and looked into the black group’s gloomy golden vertical pupils, its expression stern.
All along, the whales had misjudged the character of Number One.
It thought that since No. 1 allowed Blue Group to stay with Wen Xin, it meant that the other party accepted Blue Group.
Who would have thought that Number One had never let down his guard and had been holding back just to wait until now to settle accounts with the “mastermind” behind the scenes.
Without thinking too much, Whale lowered his posture and explained in a deep voice: “Number One, I don’t mean to provoke you.”
Mutants – especially advanced mutants like No. 1 and it – have an extremely strong sense of territory.
As long as it is the territory under their jurisdiction, they will never allow other forces to interfere.
Under such circumstances, if one sends his men into the territory of other mutants without authorization, things will become very serious.
A unclear explanation might even lead to a war between S-classes.
Whale didn’t want to provoke a strong enemy like No. 1, and even less did he want to fight with the other party when they met later.
It paused, and finally explained the reason truthfully: “I didn’t order No. 18 to come here. It wanted to come here on its own.”
The black group did not easily believe what the whale said.
“It is your clan. It has the spiritual imprint you left behind. It will not and cannot join other forces.”
The so-called clans are mutants that have been spiritually marked.
The clan can also be called believers, because they are like the believers of God and are subject to extremely strict constraints.
Just in terms of loyalty, with the existence of the spiritual imprint, once the Blue Group has two minds, there is no need to think about covering up or hiding, because it will be immediately noticed by the Blue Whale.
And it would be easy for Blue Whale to deal with the Blue Group.
With just a thought, the mental imprint left in the blue ball’s brain would immediately destroy its consciousness.
Such a constraint means that the clan is destined to be loyal to only one person for the rest of their lives and cannot betray him.
When other forces see the spiritual imprint left on the Blue Group, they will only expel it or kill it on the spot and will never accept its surrender.
The whale was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, “The identity of a family member is only on the surface. It has not sworn allegiance to me, and I will not use the spiritual imprint to force it to obey.”
“I branded Eighteen in the first place just so I could use my power to revive it.”
The black group hit the nail on the head: “But you don’t have the ability to heal.”
It knew that the blue whale had several abilities, but none of them had anything to do with healing.
Unless the other party is hiding something while undergoing the test.
The whale behaved calmly.
“Yes, I don’t have the ability to heal.”
Its tone rose slightly, with some meaning: “But if we just simply treat the wound, it would not be able to save No. 18 at that time.”
After hearing what it said, the black ball seemed to be interested, narrowed his eyes and asked: “What did you do?”
.
The blue team here has found Wen Xin.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Lan Tuan slowly walking towards him, and Wen Xin put the handmade fox, scales and feathers in his palm back into his pocket.
He zipped up his clothes and checked carefully to make sure the pockets were tight and nothing could fall out before he stood up and held the blue ball in his arms.
“What’s wrong?”
Blue Dumpling looked up at him, his eyes flickering, filled with reluctance and dependence.
It rested its head on Wen Xin’s chest, holding him tightly with its paws, and without any need for any caressing, it purred comfortably from its mouth.
Wen Xin held up the blue ball’s little butt and gently patted its back with his backhand, saying with a smile, “Be good.”
At the same time, Whale turned his gaze towards the direction of Wen Xin and Lan Tuan.
“Strictly speaking, it wasn’t me who did anything, and it wasn’t me who actually saved Eighteen.”
While saying this, Whale stared at Wen Xin who was still coaxing Tuanzi, his eyes were distant and peaceful, with emotion and relief in them.
“I just let it see another future when it was determined to die.”
