The man is in the Ark, a blood demon scientist

I looked back and saw the pale girl standing quietly in the shabby brick house where I had lived for almost 40 years. Just as she had done in the past 40 years, she didn't say much and then handed me a suitcase.

"Gone?" she asked softly.

"Gone." I subconsciously lowered my voice, with an indescribable emotion lingering in my heart.

What is this? Guilt? Or reluctance? My palms were sweating as I held the suitcase.

But a sense of awareness and determination drove me, I turned around, pushed open the wooden door with a rotten lock, and walked towards the outside world step by step.

"You said at the beginning that you wanted to become the best doctor and save your fellow Sarkaz who were suffering."

The girl's voice sounded behind me, like a sharp blade, piercing deeply into my heart, causing a chilling pain.

"Doctors...can't save the Sarkaz."

I paused, whispered my reply, then started walking again, never stopping again.

The girl stood in the dilapidated brick house where she had lived with him for 40 years, watching him go away step by step until he was buried in the snow and her back was no longer visible.

They jointly developed medicines under the difficult conditions of scarce supplies, studied the body structures of different Sarkaz races, pondered for countless days and nights, trying to find an opportunity to save patients from death, and treated the wounded on the battlefield countless times, wanting to keep more compatriots alive... 40 years passed through their eyes, turned into a few tears, and slid down their fair faces.

"I really...was cheated," the girl sat on the ground hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face.

In the fireplace, the flames burned the firewood, making crackling sounds.

The windows were covered with thick dust and gray frost formed. Snowflakes bloomed crookedly like a cross.

......

Akado opened his eyes and looked at the electronic watch on his left hand.

Next to me was a pile of draft paper, which was covered with formulas.

It's been...a week of all-nighters.

He rubbed his swollen temples. After a week of high-intensity mental work, even with his physical condition, he felt indescribable fatigue.

But there was a kind of coldness that penetrated through dreams, through time and space, and was deeply imprinted in his heart.

Have to continue...

Akado recalled the grandeur of the underwater civilization he had once seen.

Only science can save the Sarkaz.

Humanities, biological sciences, educational sciences...

Only science can bring about substantial transformation of this devastated country.

The tens of meters high buildings are like a forest. They are so tall that they block out the sun. The sun shines on the office but not on the slums below. If Muir Seth were here, he would probably think of the vertical structure of the ecosystem. This phenomenon is the most common in nature. The higher the top of the tree, the more resources the creatures can enjoy, including sunlight. The lower the tree is, the more it can eat rotten leaves and corpses in the soil.

Longmen's economy is like a waterfall, a rushing torrent. Every minute and every second, countless banknotes and coins fall from the sky and roll into the pockets and wallets of another group.

Of course, while some people make a fortune, there are bound to be poor people who have lost a lot in the financial battlefield and are heavily in debt. They can't make ends meet, so they take the elevator to the rooftop of the building and then jump off.

But all this has nothing to do with the popular flight attendants.

She now treats the agency like a treasure, pampering and protecting it, fearing that even the slightest mistake would cause her little cash cow to be smashed to death.

They spent a lot of money today and invited a gold medal composer in the entertainment industry... not the emperor... to write several new songs for Kong.

The most sought-after idol in the entertainment industry today is now standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of her own private office on the 17th floor of the building, practicing her voice.

Suddenly...bang!

There was a knock on the window suddenly.

A rope could be vaguely seen flying out, and then a black shadow flashed past the window and fell into the sky.

Kong's eyes widened, that was exactly the Rupert he had been dreaming about, the man who had once saved him.

As if he had a premonition, Texas turned his head to look at the window and met Sora's eyes through his helmet.

Looks familiar...but I can't remember where.

She held the express box in her arms and disappeared from Kong's sight.

The next moment, cheers rang out in the air and could be heard clearly through the window.

It was Sakota, also wearing power armor, with the halo above her head indicating her race.

Sakota held the express box in one hand and used the other hand to operate the two metal boxes hanging around his waist to shoot out the grappling hooks and fly towards the distant tall buildings.

Then another girl from the Fengti tribe flew by with her horns sticking out of her helmet, leaving behind her cheerful laughter.

Just when the stewardess was feeling lost and her eyes were filled with longing...

(*indescribable penguin scream)!!!

"Grappling hook! Grappling hook! Grappling hook!!!" An emperor penguin wearing special armor and swinging on a rope followed closely behind the three girls in front.

"Acardo! I, the Great Emperor, have invested in your project!"

He laughed wildly and happily.

22. The Wolf, the Crow, and the Penguin

"...Is that our new colleague?" Two crows whispered in the shadows of the city.

They looked at Texas passing over the tall buildings, and their eyes twitched slightly.

In theory, people like them should stand in the darkness all their lives, clearing the way for all filth and malice for the noble king.

At least, that's how Fujin thought. He has been with Akado for decades, never overstepping his bounds, and taking every step carefully. And his partner... Wuni has been dead for who knows how many generations.

As it turned out, the new guy took an unusual path.

She chose to stand in the light, in the most ostentatious manner, to block the sword coming from the darkness for her master.

"I heard that her name is... Cellinina Texas? She seemed to be holding two swords and killing all the Syracuse gang members who blocked her way. She didn't get support from Rhine Life until she reached the border of Syracuse."

"In terms of expressiveness, it is indeed better to stand under the sun... Haha, I can't do that," Fukin shook his head. He did not have the ability to face the enemy with a sweeping posture like Texas.

"......" Wu Ni looked towards the sunlight with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Let's go, don't forget your mission."

"I understand," Wu Ni sighed and disappeared into the darkness.

Wu Ni is a man who is good at stealth. His special Originium skills allow him to ignore the terrain and easily cross the mountains and dangerous waters.

Fu Jin saw Wu Ni's emotions and couldn't help shaking his head.

After all, he is too young.

He took off his gauntlet, revealing a pale, wrinkled, corpse-like left hand, and slowly stretched it out of the shadows.

The slightly trembling fingertips touched the sunlight.

Sigh...

Flames suddenly ignited on the fingers, burning the flesh and bones into ashes.

The intense pain finally made Fu Jin feel a little "alive".

Immediately afterwards, blood flowed out of the wound and reconstructed the finger.

Fujin put on his gauntlets.

Under the bird-beak mask, his eyes were leisurely, deep and profound.

This generation of fog...

And the new wolf...

They are all very nice young people.

But, ha, isn't it a curse to accompany an immortal king?

Texas takes off his helmet.

Looking at Croissant and Exia who were making a fuss a little further away while sharing a day trip over the city, I felt a little helpless.

With the help of the power armor, she didn't feel tired at all even after a whole day of high-intensity exercise.

Even without sweating, the stockings and underwear I put on when I went out in the morning still retained a strong scent of detergent, which became even stronger under the warmth of my body temperature.

Until a penguin wearing sunglasses and holding a lit cigar in his mouth swaggered in through the door.

"Okay, okay, girls, I have an announcement to make."

"......" The three people in the dormitory fell silent.

The emperor coughed lightly, "As everyone knows, I recently customized a set of power armor for you at the Kabaklo Laboratory in the upper city. It cost quite a bit of money, so I am a little short of money now."

"Uh... Boss, what do you want to say?" Archangel raised his hand timidly and asked.

"Ahem, ahem, it's not a big deal," the emperor put down his cigarette, "The lab saw the video of you flying around in the sky above the city today, so they asked you to be testers."

"Tester..." Croissant shuddered. She thought of the human transformation experiments in some horror movies.

"Hey, don't let your imagination run wild." The emperor threw away his cigarette, jumped up and blew his wings on Croissant's head. "I want you to test cutting-edge technology products like today."

"Texas has been working as a tester there for almost a month, right?" The emperor looked at Rupert standing aside.

"Yeah," Texas responded coolly.

"Then please tell them in detail about your daily laboratory work! Hehehehaha..." The penguin monster laughed and left, leaving the three girls in the dormitory looking at each other.

As soon as he went out, the emperor called Akado.

"Hey, pink eye, the tester got you covered."

"Thank you."

"Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? You're even asking me for people."

"Didn't you watch the news today? Victoria recently..."

"..."

The blood demon and the penguin were communicating with each other.

Just like back then, they were in Leithania, plotting to nail the almighty Witch King to his throne with their own hands.

*

It was the midsummer 146 years ago.

In Leitania, a land of Feuerbach nobles, 170 kilometers outside the city stands a huge musical theater.

This place was originally built by the noble Feuerbach to please a tower wizard who liked to come here to enjoy the scenery.

Today, it is a ruin.

Its grandeur, its splendor, and its magnificence were all shattered in the hands of two outright monsters.

The cold wind howls all the time.

Mountain-like icicles pierced the dome, and everything in sight was covered with white frost.

The elegant tower wizard threw away his baton, took off his custom-made suit, and laughed wildly as he recalled the coldest wind and the highest glaciers in the polar regions.

"Hero of Kazdel! Nice to meet you!"

Standing opposite him was a pale blood demon.

Akado broke off a piece of icicle that pierced his heart, and blood spurted out of the wound, burning like flames.

"Master of the Polar Region, it's nice to meet you as well," Blood Demon gestured, pointing to the suitcase at his feet, "Would it be convenient for me to put something there?"

"Of course sir!" the penguin agreed readily.

Accardo threw the suitcase far away.

A figure emerged from the shadows in the distance, took the suitcase, bent over the luggage, and retreated.

At some point, two more guard guns appeared in the Blood Demon's hands.
