The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

……

Under the influence of the storm that lasted for many days, the city's port has been paralyzed and unable to travel, as if a tired giant can no longer resist the fury of nature.

However, just a moment ago, the roaring wind and rain in the sky gradually became gentle, as if it was a concession from some unknown force.

The old man who had sneaked into the base before was now standing on a 15-meter-long small ocean-going fishing boat. His eyes were like torches, piercing the gradually weakening wind and rain, looking towards the distant sea.

This place is far away from the harbor area that most people are familiar with. There are basically no commercial buildings on the surrounding shores, only a deserted rocky beach. They are like wrinkles in the earth, recording the vicissitudes of time.

The black undulating sea is like a huge monster, sometimes calm, sometimes violent, and unpredictable. The sea after the storm, although much calmer, is still full of unknowns.

The sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it the salty smell of sea water and the hardness of rocks.

Inside the cabin, several simple bronze boxes lay quietly there. They were covered with traces of time and exuded a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

Just as the old man looked at the sea for a while and wanted to return to the cabin, a phone suddenly rang and he answered: "The operation against the head of the Laurent family was successful, but your side failed." There was no emotion at all. the sound of.

Failed? The old man was shocked and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, but the other party did not elaborate, but changed the topic:
"Friedrich von Long, you can be considered an old friend of Angers. With Angers's character, when the time comes, he will help the little girl Elizabeth Laurent to the greatest extent and try his best to help her overcome this difficulty. ?"

"...I think so." Friedrich von Long, an old man who was a contemporary of Angers and is still strong and strong, thought for a moment and replied: "After all, he is an elegant and charming gentleman. , will not be indifferent to the lady’s request for help.”

"But as we all know, the other side of Angers is a lonely, cold-blooded avenger. Is it really necessary for him to get involved in the power struggle among the upper echelons of the secret party?"

The other side of the phone asked: "Whether it is the school board or the elders, there are people who are not satisfied with Angers and want to impeach him."

"It is precisely because of this that Angers is even more willing to do this, because his lion's heart cannot give in." Friedrich von Long's eyes showed a look of memory as he explained: "There is something more important. The point is that I know Angers’ early love history.”

"Love history?" The inquirer smelled the smell of gossip and asked with interest: "When he was studying in Cambridge?"

"Yes." Friedrich von Long added: "Hilbert Jean Angers was originally a beggar in Yorkshire, and later worked his way to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he encountered The person who really changed his life, Meineke Cassel.”

"That was the happiest time in Angers' life. He was studying in Cambridge, secretly participating in secret party activities, pretending to read a book by the Bridge of Sighs with a Shelley's poem, secretly admiring the girls' long white silk skirts and Oxford-style white High heels and their beautiful calves..."

"Sounds like you were in on it too."

"To be precise, I was Angers' wingman at the time, specializing in instructing him on relevant etiquette. I also polished his love letters and added decorative patterns to the letter paper."

Friedrich von Long took a deep breath: "I helped him pick up Elizabeth, the most beautiful girl in Trinity College, a countess with all talents and the center of attention on all occasions. Every night, she can Watching Angers go out with the best girls in Cambridge."

"In the old photos, you seem to be more handsome than Angers. In terms of blood purity and the importance within the secret party, you are also higher than him." The caller's tone was full of teasing: "The result is here In terms of performance, he is not as good as him, a guy from a poor background, who watched Ange take the goddess away..."

"We are analyzing the problem now!" Friedrich von Long frowned: "Later, Angers and Elizabeth broke up, probably because of the gap in family conditions, and then, the 'Summer Mourning' incident, and then Then, the girl married another nobleman of similar status, had a child, died of old age and was buried in a grave decades later, and is now a withered skeleton without any beauty. "

"So is Countess Elizabeth related by blood to the new school director Elizabeth Laurent?"

The other side asked: "I heard that Angers often returned to Cambridge and brought a bouquet of white roses to visit the tombstones of his female classmates. A love affair that has lasted for hundreds of years and spanned the ages is very touching!"

"They are not related by blood," Friedrich von Long said calmly, "but they are both British baronesss, with the same name, similar age, and similar appearance. This is enough to remind him of his first love and make him want to rescue them."

"Ange has persisted for so many years, not to avenge the Dragon King, but to protect the things worth remembering in his heart - Kassel Academy, the soul of the Lion Heart Society, and the tombstones of those girls, so that they will not be destroyed. The dragon clan is destroyed.”

This is also the final meaning of my life, but it is practiced on another tortuous path. He thought silently in his mind, but did not say it out loud.

"So that's it. You are indeed one of the people who knows him best in the world. Angers acted like he was only trying to slay the dragon, just to lower other people's defensiveness and regard him as something that can be used wherever he wants. Weapons..."

The last voice came from the phone: "This consultation is over, it's time for you to continue implementing the 'Tower of Babel Project'."

Friedrich von Long put his cell phone aside casually. He stood on the boat and looked back at the sky above the shore.

The clouds there, which were originally as thick as lead, became thinner and thinner at the moment, as if they were gently lifted by some force, revealing the blue sky hidden behind them.

Under the surface of the sea, a huge shadow quietly emerged. It was a mosasaurus much larger than a sea ship. It was theoretically an extinct ocean overlord in the late Cretaceous for tens of millions of years.

It quietly followed Friedrich von Long's ship, its body looming in the water, as if it were a ghost-like existence, and the golden light emitted from its pupils was like a giant candle!

……

"Which person with no sense of ethics released the fish?" At the same time, Zhao Qing frowned slightly and caught a dozen big, lively fish from the sewage in the sewer beside the opened manhole cover in an alley on the outskirts of the city. Trap them in the Gang Qi cage and observe them.

Most of these fish are native inhabitants of the sewers, such as the Egyptian pond carp, scavenger, etc., but there are also some carp, crucian carp, and herring that originally lived in ponds and rivers and inexplicably broke into the underground sewage.

What's unusual is that they have all mutated into pale golden eyes, their fish bodies have turned translucent and blue, their shield-like scales have turned bright silver, and their personalities have become fierce, with their sharp teeth biting around and making sounds. A creepy sound.

There is no doubt that these fish belong to the category of dragon subspecies and have become bloodthirsty man-eating species like the ghost-toothed dragon viper. Their bite force is greatly increased, enough to tear apart various metal meshes, and invade the whole city along the sewers. Nowadays, when water accumulation is serious, the harm is quite alarming.

Not long ago, hundreds of piranhas rushed out of the sewers and attacked Lu Mingfei's community. They were killed by several retired commissioners from the Kassel Executive Department, but their feet were also bitten. department.

After all, they are not real ghost-toothed dragon vipers. They cannot remain active after leaving the water. They eat all edible materials, including hard steel. Moreover, because they are too big, they cannot penetrate into the body of their prey like dragon vipers. There are vertical and horizontal passages inside.

If we go one step further and there are really pairs of male and female dragon vipers entering large and small rivers, it will be the most terrifying biological disaster in history. These little things will reproduce at a high speed and eventually eat everything.

Such a subspecies of dragons alone is enough to cause heavy damage to human society, not to mention the dragons themselves who can create them. For weak ordinary people, biotechnology may be more powerful than word spirit and alchemy.

Nowadays, I don’t know which force is taking advantage of the chaos to secretly cultivate and release a large number of things similar to dragon vipers in order to conduct related experiments, or to prevent a large number of hybrids from attacking from east to west, turning the city’s sewer system into a Humanity's forbidden zone.

"Although they are dangerous piranhas, it seems that they still have special research value. They can peek into the leopard and see some characteristics of the ghost-toothed viper."

Zhao Qing picked up one of the blue carps and briefly analyzed it, and determined that these dragon blood fish contained hemocyanin combined with copper ions, which is commonly found in deep-sea creatures, shrimps and crabs.

From this point of view, the original place of origin of the ghost tooth dragon viper should be the deep sea area. Although hemocyanin is not as good as hemoglobin in carrying oxygen, the deeper the seabed, the greater the pressure and the higher the dissolved oxygen. Therefore, it lives in The water is deep and the amount of dissolved oxygen is sufficient.

From a chemical point of view, the incredible digestive ability of dragon vipers is mostly related to the redox reaction of such copper-containing proteins, from which energy is obtained, so that it can survive by swallowing inorganic substances. The Sumerians in this world developed the technology of biological iron-making. They raised dragon vipers to eat iron ore, and then burned the vipers with low-temperature flames to obtain high-quality iron.

For Zhao Qing, similar biotechnology can also play a role in many places and can be regarded as a technical reserve. For example, the biological iron-making technique of the ghost-toothed dragon viper can be used for highly concealed mineral mining, smoke-free and Fog makes it difficult to see.

For example, now she is preparing to use a special technology to completely kill the piranhas in the sewer.

She casually cut open the carp's scales and sprinkled some yellow powder into it. Immediately, yellow and blue liquid came out of the wound on the fish's body. It made a hissing sound, a faint smoke rose, and the blood quickly turned yellow and emitted The smell is sour and burnt.

After throwing the poisoned carp into the water, it turned its belly to the sky and was already dead. Seven or eight piranhas surrounded it and bit it. In a moment, the carp turned into a pile of bones and sank to the bottom of the water.

Immediately afterwards, the seven or eight new fish that had eaten the flesh of the carp turned their bellies over and floated up from the water. A group of fish competed for food, and all of them were poisoned and died.

One to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, spreading continuously in the complex sewer system.

Because in the sewer, only the dragon-blood piranha has such violent aggression, and the yellow water poison spreads and will be diluted and ineffective in a short time, it is unlikely to affect other creatures, let alone It affects people on the ground and can be said to be environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

Such a strong sense of déjà vu, such a special toxicity, the yellow powder applied by Zhao Qing is consistent with the legendary "corpse powder". This poison was developed by Xidu Ouyang Feng and later spread to Hai Dafu and Wei Xiaobao. , has the characteristic of being infinitely replicable.

As soon as any blood touches it, the blood will turn into poison. After a carp is poisoned after being sprinkled with a handful of corpse powder, the blood in its body will be highly toxic, which can be passed to other fish that eat the fish, "self-replication" , the more it spreads, the more it spreads, and it never stops.

Although Zhao Qing had never seen this kind of poison, once she had a research direction, she quickly developed a real "corpse powder" that could be used under any conditions with her knowledge of medical poisons that was far superior to Ouyang Feng's. For production, there is no need to rely too much on raw materials.

According to her research, this kind of strange poison powder actually has a similar principle to the "Fifteen Deadly Swords". They are the result of inducing the death energy of the three corpse poisons in the body and inducing the onset of the poison of essence, energy and spirit, so it can It is formed by decomposing a specific proportion of organic matter with the help of the poisonous dragon of Fifteen Deadly Swords.

From this perspective, if the spread of the "Fifteen Deadly Swords" is illuminated, this sword technique seems to have lagged behind Zhao Qing's practice. In fact, its lethality can continue to increase over time, and eventually people will be transformed into human beings. It is a gloomy prison of death with the power to destroy the world.

Any skill with self-proliferating characteristics has unimaginable huge potential and astonishing upper limit. It may be in danger of getting out of control, but it is also suitable as a response to specific situations and as a hidden trump card.

"At this time, those water bubbles containing hunters and captives should have been transported to another world, right?" Yun used a technique similar to that of the Spiritual Snake to monitor the large water area, Zhao Qing thought thoughtfully.

……

"Are these names the ancestors of the three inner blood families? It seems that the number of people is quite right. Has the secret of the White King blood descendants been discovered by an outsider? Or did the other party specially identify and record their names?"

When thousands of dragon-blooded piranhas were poisoned and turned into bones, Yuan Zhisheng, who had finished the meeting, walked out of the gate of the Regent Hotel and strolled down the long street as the rain gradually subsided.

At this moment, there was a special envelope in his handbag. Inside was a list of names stuffed by the head of the Bai family at the end of the meeting.

On this list, there are twenty or thirty names marked in red, all of which are R's own names, with "Uesugi, Minamoto, and Tachibana" as their surnames, showing an intersecting tree-like family tree with different colors. Among them, one named Uesugoshi was the deepest, and except for this person, all other names were marked diagonally.

"Does the color represent the purity of the bloodline? The strength of the individual? The depth of hatred? Does the crossed out mean that the person is dead?"

……

The Snakeki Hachichi are the eight major families that have mastered the secrets of the dragon clan from ancient times to the present. The Inuyama family controls the customs industry, the Fuma family controls the intelligence industry, the Ryoma family controls the arms trade, the Sakurai family controls the gambling industry, and hereditary samurai. The Miyamoto family, behind the scenes are the Uesugi, Minamoto and Tachibana families.

Inuyama, Fuma, Ryoma, Sakurai and Miyamoto are collectively called the five outer families, while Uesugi, Source and Tachibana are called the three inner families. Another name for the inner three families is the "Amaterasu family".

The number of people in the inner three families is much less than that of the outer five families. When there are a hundred people in the outer five families, there is only one person in the inner three families.

But the three inner families are the families that can really give birth to an emperor. They are the descendants of the three priest families of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. They are the purest descendants of the White King among the eight Sheqi families.

It is difficult for these people who carry royal blood to have offspring, because the fetus may be mutated. Nine out of ten children are stillborn, and there may even be cases where the fetus threatens the mother's life. Normally, only a dozen or so people come to several ten people.

Even if they fail to awaken the "Imperial Blood" and become a super hybrid that breaks the critical blood limit, the people from the three inner families are far stronger than those from the outer five families. They are all A-level and above. Therefore, even if the number is small, without them In the emperor's era, he was still the worthy ruler of his family.

The youngest and most fertile among them will be supported as the head of the family and shoulder the important task of giving birth to the "Emperor". The others, as the elders of the family, will be in charge of the eight Sheqi families and can appoint people from the other five families to work for them - —Including the head-level figures of the latter family.

However, according to the records passed down by the family, it seems that all the direct descendants of the three Nei families died before the end of World War II. None of the family elders survived, so that the three Nei families fell into a state of near-annihilation within fifty or sixty years. Until the appearance of Tachibana Masamune, Minamoto Chisao, and Uesugi Eri.

Today, in addition to them, people with the surnames Minamoto, Tachibana and Uesugi can also be found in the eight families of Sheqi, but those are not the true descendants of the three Uchichi families. In the past, the three inner families adopted some outstanding children from the outer five families as "heirs" to strengthen their reputation, and they were the blood descendants left behind later.

This situation of collective extermination of heirs is obviously unusual, and most likely involves unnatural death.

In addition, who is the Uesugoshi who has not yet been "crossed out"? Could it be the shadow king from the previous generation of the family? Is he still alive?
Seeing the warning and demonstration in this list, as well as the reason why Cassel transferred him for this task, Yuan Zhisheng was thoughtful, knowing that under his father's management, the Sheqi Eight Family quickly It has returned to its peak scale of commanding hundreds of thousands of gangsters, and is prospering, attracting attacks from the two major forces.

However, he doesn't care much about political things now. In fact, as an orphan without a father or a mother, Yuan Zhisheng still yearns for and is full of expectations for his real family and elders.

Judging from the age, most of the people on the list have left unrecorded descendants. In other words, there should be ancestors that they have never met.

Over the years, he never knew who his biological father was. Every time he asked about Tachibana Masamune, he always said that his father was a great man, whose greatness was incredible.

Therefore, in Yuan Zhisheng's mind, his father was probably a hero like a war god during the Warring States Period, and must have been the leader of the Japanese gang after the war.

However, judging from various information, there are no particularly outstanding figures in the R gang after the war. The most outstanding ones are Inuyama Ga and Fuma Kotaro. It seems that this "hero" figure is not among them.

After returning home, I happened to ask my father for relevant information. Presumably, with the excuse of searching for the remaining bloodlines of the three families and investigating the mysterious death of the family elder, Tachibana Masamune should be able to tell me some new information.

Most of the direct elders are criminals. There is no way to clean this up. I can only hope that there are several generations of normal people with acceptable moral character between the elders and myself, who at least recognize each other as relatives and will not feel that they have violated their inner feelings. justice.

With this in mind, Yuan Zhisheng found a small noodle shop on the street and was going to sit there for a while, then opened the list and took a look at the name named Yuan. At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar person. The figure also entered this noodle shop.

It was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a white shirt, a navy blue student skirt, a pair of canvas sneakers, a sterling silver four-leaf clover pendant dangling on her earlobe, and her long dark red hair flying in the wind.

Who is this? Why do she look so similar to Eriki? Yuan Zhisheng was stunned, very much doubting that he had seen Eri Yi's twin sisters. He looked at them carefully twice, but found that the strange feeling of familiarity disappeared.

"Student of Kassel College?" Noticing the World Tree badge on the other person's bag, Chen Motong took the initiative to sit opposite him, took a menu, and asked, "What is this school like?"
