{MTL} ✅After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

ch 7

"What's the matter? This is..."

Zhuo Fu was wearing a white coat loosely on his shoulders and hurried out of the laboratory.

He rubbed his eyes, with a sleep-deprived gloom and irritability on his face: "Please, do you guys know what time it is..."

As soon as he opened the door, Zhuo Fu's remaining words were stuck in his throat.

It was Mu Heng.

The straight coat was wrapped in the cold air of the night, and a pair of silver-blue eyes were calm and cold, and they were looking over silently.

I am grass.

Zhuo Fu woke up with a jolt, and all the drowsiness was thrown out of the sky.

He lowered his head to check the time—

wait, it's not working time, that's right.

Then why did this evil star suddenly appear at the door of the laboratory!

I saw Mu Heng took off his gloves slowly and walked in.

"..." Looking at the empty corridor, Zhuo Fu's mouth twitched, and he said dryly:

"Please come in, you're welcome."

He took a deep breath, closed the door, and turned to look at the uninvited guest behind him: "What are you doing?"

With a dull sound, Mu Heng put something wrapped in cloth on the table.

Zhuo Fu was stunned: "?"

Mu Heng did not answer, but peeled off the outer layer of fabric layer by layer, revealing the bright metal surface.

It was a Western-style long sword, with a silver-white body, as bright as flowing silver.

On the hilt of the sword was a roaring dragon, its huge wings spread out, and its long tail covered with barbed scales wrapped around the sword.

Zhuo Fu took a deep breath: "My God, this is...?"

"Yes." Mu Heng nodded slightly, he lowered his eyes, his eyes slid over the sword body intently, his eyes were slightly dark, like a deep undercurrent under the shadowy sea.

"It's so beautiful..." Zhuo Fu couldn't help sighing.

He raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, frowning with some doubts:

"However, why did you bring it here?"

Shouldn't this kind of thing be hidden in some safe, waiting to be passed on to future generations or something? ?

Mu Heng: "It moved just now."

Zhuo Fu: "...Huh?"

After a few seconds of silence, he blinked and asked tentatively, "Well, you know this is a sword, right? "

What the hell is movement? !

Mu Heng rubbed the pattern on the hilt with his fingertips, raised his eyes, and replied nonchalantly, "You said earlier that the fantasy species that appeared this time may be a dragon."

As a colleague who has worked together for many years, no more words are needed. Fu immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Wait, wait! I didn't say that before!"

He was shocked and hurriedly explained: "The fantasy species hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years! This time it's probably a false alarm, and it has appeared before. This situation..."

Mu Heng interrupted him: "But there is a possibility."

"..." Zhuo Fu was silent for a long time before he said dryly: "Yes."

"Very good." Mu Heng took it to himself. Gloves, said: "I'll leave it here for a while to find out what happened."

Zhuo Fu stared at the expensive hot potato on his table, speechless for a long time.

He had never regretted his hilarity the other day so much.

——You said that you have nothing to do with your spare time, what are you talking about!

Mu Heng turned around and walked out, but before taking a few steps, he was stopped by Zhuo Fu, who had recovered his senses:

"Hey, wait..."

Mu Heng looked back.

"If... I mean if!" Zhuo Fu hesitated, and continued: "If there is really a fantasy species, of course, this possibility is very small, and it is really, really a dragon... Then, you are ready What are you doing?"

"Dragon?" Mu Heng repeated the word, slightly curling the corner of his lips.

He seldom smiled, but this action did not soften the lines of his cold and hard face, instead, it was as if a blade was unsheathed, and the splitting aggression suddenly appeared.

"Extinction is their best destination." Mu Heng said.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Silence returned to the interior.

Zhuo Fu stood there blankly, looking at the closed door not far away.

He couldn't help but recall how he looked when he first met Mu Heng-at that time, the other party hadn't become the most recognized human being, nor had he become more and more inhumane as he is now. At that time, the most suitable adjective for him was ...

fighting lunatics.

After that day, Shi Pai searched everything inside and out, but found no traces. The most reasonable explanation seems to be that they escaped after being put into the simulation room, but Shi Rui always felt something was wrong. It doesn't seem quite right.

But, could it be that Shi An killed those monsters and destroyed the corpses?

This thought flashed in Shi Rui's mind, but he was quickly sneered at it and put it to the back of his mind - how is it possible?

Even if Shi An miraculously possesses magical power, it is impossible to single-handedly deal with five crazy and raised monsters, let alone leave no trace.

However, that vague unease never disappeared.

So during this period of time, Shi Rui was quite quiet, and he never came to Shi An again.

And Shi An's side has not been smooth sailing recently.

He repeatedly confirmed with the demon insect many times, but the other party insisted that on the night he came back from the outside, it saw hard scales emerging from Shi An's body.

But no matter how much Shi An tried, he was never able to call out his scales in a awake state.

He sat cross-legged on the ground in frustration, looking down at his empty hands.

Or not.

Human palms look thin and fragile, with no scales, no claws, five long and thin fingers, and a strange look.

——How to see how it is not pleasing to the eye!

Shi An became more and more angry, and clenched his fists and slammed it on the floor beside him.

"..."

Seeing that the boy's expression became even more icy and gloomy, the worm approached cautiously and comforted, "Don't worry, sir, tomorrow is the start of school. When we sneak into the academy and find the gap, we should be able to do so soon. "..."

The icy expression on Shi An's face cracked open.

I saw him sniffing, rubbing the fist he used to smash the ground, and crying:

"It hurts."

When he was a dragon before, he was protected by scales, and he was almost never injured, let alone felt pain. But now that he lost that indestructible armor, Shi An realized that he was so afraid of pain!

Looking at the young man who was rubbing his hands aggrievedly in front of him, the worm couldn't help falling into a long silence:

"..."

It was completely unable to connect this pain-afraid and squeamish human being with the evil star who killed all directions that day!

That day, after killing the first three with the blink of an eye, Shi An left two of them without burning them directly.

——And the next scene, the monster, can hardly bear to recall.

The legs are ripped off, the blood is drained, the stomach is cut open, and the head is unscrewed.

Shi An used the most primitive method to control the amount of magic power in the bodies of those monsters, and then sent it to the detection device to test the minimum magic power threshold it could detect.

The most terrifying thing is that despite doing such cruel and terrifying things on his hands, the young man's face still has an almost innocent and curious look, like a childish child, without the slightest sense of evil and guilt.

Although the Demon Worm had seen many terrifying and cruel guys in the abyss, it was the first time that it was so creepy.

"That's right."

Suddenly, Shi An raised his eyes to look at the demon insect. The expression on his face didn't change much, but there was an inexplicable look in those deep black eyes.

"!" The wandering demon worm couldn't help but sighed behind his back, and he stuttered a little when he spoke: "What, what's wrong??"

Shi An showed a thoughtful look: "You said just now that we are going to sneak into the school tomorrow?"

"... ...Yes, yes." The demon worm was stunned.

Isn't that so? "It's not us." Shi An said with a smile :

"Only you."

! !

The smile on Shi'an's face was sincere and harmless, but in the eyes of the devil, it seemed like the call of death: "But it doesn't matter, I have figured out the method, and I will help you."

"..." The

devil's mind flashed instantly. After passing through the tragically broken bodies of the other two bugs, his six thin legs began to tremble with fright.

—— Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

the next day.

The housekeeper drove Shi An to the unified pick-up and drop-off station, and worriedly told him all kinds of details, from life to study, to getting along with roommates, almost everything was small and all-encompassing.

"...The college has sent someone to pick up the luggage this morning, and it should be placed directly in your dormitory..."

"...If you encounter that Shi Rui at school, avoid it if you can, and don't get up. What a big conflict, be careful not to hurt yourself..."

Finally, before Shi An was about to start dozing off, the pick-up vehicle arrived.

The butler's face was reluctant, while Shi An's back looked extremely impatient--I don't know if it was because he was really yearning for the life in the future, or if he was tortured by the butler's nagging.

The Abilities Academy will send vehicles to bring all the first-year freshmen to the almost independent and closed campus outside the city.

The vehicle is large, the engine is mostly powered by magic, and the ride is quiet and fast.

There is no independent box in the car, but the design space between the seats and the seats is very clever. The semi-closed glass partition not only provides a certain sense of distance, but also allows the new students to be familiar with each other.

When Shi An came up, the whispers in the car stopped for a moment, everyone looked at him at the same time, their eyes were strange and unfamiliar, and there was not much kindness.

Shi Rui sat in the middle row, surrounded by a few freshmen, who had become the core of the entire group.

Seeing Shi An come up, he smiled and waved at Shi An, wanting him to sit beside him: "Brother, here."

The positions in the car are arranged according to the test level.

But the back row was almost full, but the front row was vacant, and there were few people sitting.

——Everyone knows that there are actual combat items in the test after entering the academy, and the ranking obtained in that actual combat will affect their subsequent rating. Every year, there are accidents in the actual combat, so everyone is very Discreet and low-key.

No one wants to be the pegged early bird.

As for Shi Rui, whether Shi An comes or not, there is no loss to him.

It comes from being overestimated, and if you don't come, you don't know how to exalt yourself.

Shi An went straight to the first empty seat in the morning, then yawned lazily and closed his eyes.

The sound of gasping for breath sounded indistinctly in the cabin.

"..."

Shi Rui's expression and actions froze at the same time.

Grass.

——He really didn't expect that the other party was not capable of self-control and didn't know how to praise him.

Shi An leaned drowsily against the car window, his chin bit by bit, as if he was about to fall asleep immediately.

The demon worm sneaked out of his sleeve, glanced back, and whispered in a low voice: "Lord Demon Dragon, that...how do I feel, the atmosphere seems a little wrong?"

Shi An slowly raised his eyelids: "Is there?"

"Yes!"

The texture of the air is not the same!

Shi An thought about it seriously, and said, "I see." The

worm: "Ah?"

Shi An: "It must be the clothes that are too ugly." The

worm: "..."

Ah? ? ?

What the hell is this?

"It's all my fault that the housekeeper took my favorite outfit out of my suitcase. Not only did he not let me wear it, but he also did not allow me to take it to school," Shi An sighed in frustration and whispered dissatisfiedly. : "The aesthetics of this human being is really bad." The

worm recalled the feeling that his eyes were almost blinded when he saw the dress for the first time:

"..."

After a long silence, a particularly gratifying emotion emerged spontaneously from the heart.

—Thank you, Steward.

real.

When Shi An woke up again, the vehicle had already reached its destination.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, stumbled out of the car following the crowd, and walked forward.

A high-pitched male voice came from not far away: "The first round of the written test is about to begin, please be prepared."

According to the college's tradition, the written test is held on the first day of admission, and the order of appearance in the next two rounds of tests is determined by the written test. Grades decide.

The freshmen followed the teacher who led them forward and entered an empty hall.

It looked like the space that was simulated that day, with tall, iron-grey metal doors standing outside, and the newly enrolled freshmen passed by one by one and sat at the table where the written test was about to be conducted.

Shi An walked at the end of the team and took out the magic worm from his cuff.

The demon worm looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and then turned to look at the familiar human being pinching himself: "..."

It took a deep breath, then closed its eyes as if dead: "Come on!"

But until Shi An let go of his hand , the expected pain did not appear.

The demon worm opened his eyes blankly: "Eh...? It's over?"

Shi An gave it a strange look: "It's over."

What? Is it really over? !

The demon worm quickly felt it.

Sure enough, the magic power in his body has been controlled to an insignificant amount, and even the most sophisticated instruments cannot detect it.

"But...but..." It was stunned and stammered: "But that day..."

"Oh, that," Shi An blinked: "You are already my subject, it doesn't take so much trouble to reduce your magical power."

He said, "I just needed to test the threshold of the instrument that day. "

But before the demon worm could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the young man continue to understatement: "...By the way, I'm also curious about the internal structure of the current abyss species." The

worm: "???"

Shi An seems to be Feeling its dull gaze, he lowered his head and smiled at it, looking beautiful and sunny.

Demon Insect: "..."

It trembled and slowly looked away.

- Please, stop laughing, I'll have human PTSD if I do this again.
