[It is only a moment that determines a person's life, and the entire destiny]

[—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]

[Part ①—— Pastoral Garden]

After two hours.

Jason and Bu Meteor ran back and forth in the hall and kitchen, finished cooking the Calamity Beast's body, and sent out more than 30 sets of pots and bowls.

When the shopkeeper of the Bok checkpoint smelled spices and hot oil, his golden animal eyes widened, and he immediately called for new furniture from the guest room in the back room.

Dishes were delivered to a large round table one by one. The shopkeeper grabbed the iron basin and drank the hot thick broth in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, his face became flushed, and sweat poured down his neck and forehead.

She only used her rough and broad palms to hold the stewed meat cubes in the iron basin, stuffed them into her mouth and chewed them, crushing them together with the bones.

She ate up every dish she served, and the efficiency of eating was so amazing that there were not even a few bones left.

The two minions who just guarded the gate woke up from a coma, smelled the sweet smell of the dog meat feast, their eyes were full of longing, their index fingers moved their bodies, and they carried the round table and red chair on their backs for the shopkeeper. land.

They thought, if they could also eat a bite of the beast's meat, they would definitely become stronger!

When the shopkeeper ate the dog meat, he let out a weird "uh hee hee hee" smile from his throat, and he had never seen her so happy and joyful.

Even when he was talking about romance with the little boy who was skinned and bled to death behind him, the shopkeeper did not show such a happy expression.

That must be very nourishing, very tasty meat, right? !

Thinking of these things—

——I knelt lower, bent deeper, and didn't care about bandaging the wound on my forehead, and I could see the indentation left by Ah Xing's heavy punch.

They didn't say a word, for fear of disturbing the shopkeeper and spoiling his interest. It's like worshiping gods and doing rituals.

It seems that as long as you pray a few more times, let your forehead kiss the rough and tamped floor tiles in the hall, and squeeze some blood from the wound, you can get the shopkeeper to give relief, and let the gods who are feasting on the shrine spread some offerings—so that they can also taste Taste, taste what the ferocious two-headed hound that is domineering on weekdays tastes like.

After Bu Liuxing and Jason delivered the food, they stood in the shelter of the hall without moving.

They have already sent out the basic information of the Bok sentry post, and only received one reply.

The content of the reply letter is:

[Well done] and [Live on]

Divide into two messages and send back.

When Bu Liuxing saw these two messages, he could imagine Brother Ming's anxious and excited expression in his mind.

——I think, Brother Ming doesn’t like to talk nonsense. The nonsense in these two sentences is that Brother Ming is worried about me, and he can’t help me. He is afraid of causing me trouble, and finally pinches it out on the screen of the phone the six characters.

——In this environment, Brother Ming didn't know who I met and where I was going. The more I talked, the more confused I became.

——The first message means that the information is helpful to Brother Ming, and they have already started to act.

——The second message means that Brother Ming can't help much in a short time and has to rely on himself.

Before A Xing could finish thinking about it, Jason tensed up and grabbed A Xing's arm.

Severe curses came from the big round table in the hall.

The big shopkeeper burped, and the last bowl of dog meat in Changtong didn't leave any soup in the iron pot.

She was full, and when she saw the pitiful appearance of the two minions kneeling on the ground, she immediately became furious.

"You two bastards! What are you looking at?!"

She raised her hand, grabbed the collar of one of the minions, and brought it up in front of her. The strange force could tear even the flexible Kailaf with bare hands.

"Don't you guys want to grab food from me? How dare you!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and the hunger in her heart became stronger and stronger.

The minion in his hand, Wei Nuo Nuo, didn't dare to make a sound, but sobbed, raised his hand to guard, and then gave up his guard during the breath and breath, and didn't even dare to lift his hand.

The shopkeeper pinched the minion's neck with one hand, and suddenly arched the other hand. His rough five fingers were like steel shovels, scratching off a layer of meat paste from the poor fellow's thigh.

In an instant, cries and shouts were about to come out of the minions' mouths, and the head shopkeeper's eyes were stern, his arms, shoulders and neck were bulging, and the cries were strangled to death.

— followed by a dead silence.

Bu Liuxing's eyes were about to burst into flames. In his opinion, the head shopkeeper of the Boke Hotel was a bully and a tough little brat -- frying it in a frying pan a hundred times would not relieve his hatred.

Thick fingers were stained with sticky and stinky blood, stained with sauce and soup stains on the table, and sent to the shopkeeper's mouth with minced meat.

She pouted and sucked the delicacy from her fingernails with her dexterous long tongue. She was tasting the fear and pain of others. She was proud of this new dish made by herself, which was supreme joy.

What is amazing is that she is not an extremely crazy person, who sent a cup of butter tea to the injured minions who were in pain, and just spit out the word "roll" lightly——she never released the excess cruel.

This moment.

The big shopkeeper's eating time was over, and he turned around to take a good look at the two uninvited guests.

"I'm very satisfied! Step Meteor! You can go."

After that, she took out a document from the fur wrapped around her waist and threw it to Bu Liuxing. This kind of written pass looks very much like the style of a station.

Ah Xing caught it and saw that there was the Blood Butterfly trademark of Skull and Bones on the cover, and the title of the letter read [Muyuan].

The big shopkeeper looked frivolous, and the scars on his face trembled: "Go to the pasture to find Coman, let him take you on a tour, get to know our Skull and Bones well, and understand our glorious path to our great cause——Finally think about it, can you Give us what? What do you want from us—go. Go at once."

Jason: "What about me?"

Ah Xing: "What about him?"

The big shopkeeper was a little impatient, "This cook stays with me, I like his craftsmanship very much."

"No way," Jason was about to speak.

The big shopkeeper immediately interrupted, his eyes widened and he became fierce: "No? What are you? How dare you disobey me?!"

Bu Meteor picked up the partner beside him, just like when he first entered the door, clamped Jason's waist and abdomen next to his head, and rushed out the door without paying attention, "Let's go!"

The shopkeeper glared angrily: "You are so bold."

Bu Meteor curled his lips, turned his head and gave the big shopkeeper a fierce look, "This is a gift from me to the big boss of the Skull and Bones Society! You, a watchdog, want to compete with the big boss for food? Or do you say..."

A Xing swung the shotgun with one hand, the wolf ACE ejected the shell, and the firearm reset to fire, as if to say—not long ago, these two bullets took the life of the disaster beast.

"Or, are you going to fight me here? Are you in a hurry to retire and find me a new job? Will this place be renamed Meteor Pass in the future? It sounds nice, what do you think? If you die, big boss Will you blame me? Maybe the big boss wants me to guard this card, after all, I eat less, and I am more low-carbon and environmentally friendly than you."

"Hiss..." the big shopkeeper gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to explode, so she could only turn her anger into a smile, and secretly crushed the wood of the round table, to keep this nasty boy in her heart, and she must taste his meat when she had the chance.

"Thank you, shopkeeper! A passport is enough!" Bu Liuxing said, and went out the door.

When a guard came to stop him, the shopkeeper immediately shouted.

"Let them go!"

[Part·②——Xu Xian has come and gone]

"Ha! Kid! Your mouth is so good!" Jason danced on Meteor's shoulder, and shouted excitedly, "It's so hateful! If a movie wants you to be the protagonist, it must be a cool movie! I burst You won’t feel tired after eating rice crackers and cola until your stomach swells!”

"Mr. Jason, can you calm down a bit? You can lower your head and take a look." Meteor was walking on the cliff path, and a strong wind blew from the rift, stirring up the iron chains. The steel beams under his feet were undulating, which was very dangerous.

Fifty centimeters to the right is a cliff of more than a thousand meters, and below the cliff is a deadly river of lava.

Jason came back to his senses, took a look outside, and immediately struggled desperately to get off Ah Xing's shoulders.

Looking at this kind of scenery from the shoulders of Ah Xing, who is 1.9 meters tall, was too exciting for Jason's heart. In the end, it turned into a koala, clinging to Ah Xing's waist and not moving at all.

A Xing held Jason's face in his hands: "Mr. Jason, no one is following us, use your wise and mighty brain, think about why?"

Jason's cheeks were squeezed by the meteors, he forced his mouth open and opened his eyes, stood still on both feet, and fell back to the vain iron plank road.

He carefully observed the surrounding environment and started to get down to business.

"We have already left the range of the Boke checkpoint. I estimate that there are still more than 20 people living in that big hotel."

As Jason Megan said, he took out A Xing's cell phone, took a look at it, and wrote down the unlock code of A Xing's phone, and edited the text message on his own.

He said to himself, to strengthen the memory.

"Based on this, it is inferred from the number of tableware in the kitchen on the first floor. The shopkeeper eats an amazing amount of food. She uses thirty to forty sets of kitchen utensils for a meal. Judging from the amount of ingredients and tableware, the entire Bokeguan The defense force is more than 80 people, between 80 and 88 people."

Fingers dance quickly on the phone screen, like a keyboard artist.

"The treasurer asked us to visit the pasture garden, but no one followed. This means that the road behind the Bock checkpoint is a relatively private area of ​​​​the Skull and Bones Society—unless the owner calls, the watchdog cannot enter the house."

Bu Meteor patted Mr. Jason on the shoulder lightly: "Awesome! You are so amazing!"

Jason shook his head: "It's just a trick to survive, nothing special."

Then he continued to speak and continue to record.

"There are no surveillance cameras on this road, cars cannot be used on the plank road, and even the most basic small three-wheeled freight can't be used. Either there are other entrances and exits inside, or there are disaster beasts like yarn sheep, which can carry supplies for the Skull and Bones Society."

"There should be another entrance and exit?" Meteor said with reason: "I have two yarn sheep girlfriends. I asked them before if there were any non-human life forms working for the station like yarn sheep. They all said I don’t know, Yarn sheep can understand human language because they have acquired the knowledge of the astral world, and this kind of creature is very rare underground.”

Jason was stunned for a long time: "Are you serious?"

Meteor: "Yes"

Jason: "No. What I'm asking is, do you really have two lovers as female companions?"

Meteor: "Otherwise?"

Jason froze and didn't react for a while.

——He originally thought that Ah Xing said this because he wanted to bluff the big shopkeeper, and wanted to make a strange move, at least in terms of the madness index, so that the enemy could feel the oppressive force on his face.

Unexpectedly, Meteor didn't act at all, all the things expressed were emotions, without any acting skills.

"Let's talk about this matter." Meteor pointed to the obsidian bridge at the entrance of the low valley in the far distance: "People of Skull and Bones rely on this bridge to enter and exit platform zero, but it is impossible for everything to take this plank road? There are other ways."

"It makes sense." Jason was still immersed in the love between the sheep and the man and couldn't extricate himself. He was worried, and while analyzing rationally, his eyes were not right when he looked at the shooting star.

Jason said: "After all, last time, the Calamity Beast that the Skeletons got was transported to Mimir Hot Spring Pass by truck. There must be another secret passage for transporting goods by truck."

Meteor: "Why are you looking at me with that look?"

"Because of curiosity." Jason cut straight to the point, and said bluntly, "Yarn sheep are very curious creatures. I don't know how you got a red line with them. I'm very, very curious."

"Oh, it's actually not as complicated as you think." Meteor recalled what happened in the Golden Town before: "When I was broken in love, I called Miss Shayang in the Golden Town. She charges by the hour and is willing to listen to my emotions. Rubbish, I am very moved."

Jason followed the meteor all the way down.

Meteor said as he walked.

"Then we chatted more and more, because everyone is quite simple-minded, Mr. Jason, do you know about creatures like yarn sheep?"

"It's because of understanding that it feels unbelievable. This kind of creature has a relatively low level of intelligence and can't speak any complicated sentences. It imitates human language, but the logic is completely different."

"That's right. You're right. One of our girlfriends is named Meimei and the other is Lili. Many yarn sheep use this simple reduplicated word as their name. They can't remember too many things, like I'm just like me, but when I ask for food and money from memorizing the advertisements, I immediately become fluent in speaking."

"Have you been in close contact with them?"

"I wanted to sleep with the big dragonfly, and I ran out immediately after making the phone call. As a result, I carefully boarded the train, ran to the Golden Country, and went home with them. Chop me up and eat me."

"Dragonflies are gluttons. They can eat 60% of their body weight in one meal. In order to support the energy consumed by flying, they are grabbing food all the time."

"But they couldn't beat me. I escaped in despair. I was very sad at that time. First, I was deceived by a widow from an alien, and then I was almost swallowed alive by this pair of sisters. I dare not tell Brother Ming about this. , I kept eating mapo tofu, I was scolded and cried several times, I thought, if Brother Ming found out, he would probably scold me again, tie me up, and never allow me to run around again."

"I don't know what to say. It's a miracle you survived."

"Actually, Meimei also contacted me later. She told me that next time I must be careful not to take off my clothes directly, otherwise they will not be able to control their hunting instincts at all, and they will treat the protein on my body as honey egg liquid, and eat it as something sweet. Lose."

"Almost eaten by monsters, you still plan to communicate with these things? What are you thinking? Are you going to play the Legend of the White Snake?"

"Because I'm a man, I'm a sexy tough guy! Jason, I can't make them cry. I promised on the phone that I will be their boyfriend. I can't break my promise! Mr. Jason. I play cards and chat with them , as long as we don't meet, it's a very good thing. They are simple, and I am also simple, what a good soul mate."

"Didn't the station ask about it? It's a homicide."

"I don't want to see them get hurt, and I didn't tell others. In fact, the relationship between Shayang and the station is very delicate. Passengers treat them as pets and simple tools."

"You also said that you were with an astral creature and a widow before."

"Don't mention this matter again, please forgive me and don't come to uncover my scars again, just like I am asking you, your waiter."

"Stop it! Stop it!"

"I hope to fall in love with young ladies of the ultra-ancient race. I meet a lot of emotional liars in the surface world. They are like hunters. I give these hunters money, give affection, and make them happy, thinking that I will get something in return. In the end, my mother sent them My old background was revealed—I kept breaking up, falling in love, and breaking up again. In the end, I thought that the young ladies of the ultra-ancient race in the underground world would not be greedy for those extraneous things, but I didn’t expect”

"I didn't expect them to be greedy for your belongings?"

"Yes. Mr. Jason, do you think I can find true love?"

"You're daydreaming!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because in the movie, if you hit the protagonist, you have to say that, and the brave protagonist will definitely do it."

"Thank you! Jason, is this a blessing?"

The two brothers finished this plank road——

——The topic came to an abrupt end.

A corridor appeared on the left hand side, leading directly to the interior of the rift valley.

At the bright and spacious entrance, there is a well-dressed big man waiting for guests.

That man was like the lobby manager of the Council of Five Kings. He was a meticulous, tall and slender man in his forties, wearing a large navy blue trench coat, wine red vest and black tie, and spotless leather shoes.

Wearing a pair of black gloves, he was bowing his head at the registration desk in the entrance to write notes, recording the goods in the pasture garden.

"Bu Meteor and Jason Megan—come to me, Coleman Sullivan, and as the manager of the pasture, I am deeply honored to be here with you two."

His voice was deep and powerful, like that of an announcer in an opera.

His hair was champagne blonde and curled slightly around his ears.

Like the big shopkeeper——

——When Mr. Coman greeted him with a smile, his four canine teeth were pointed and sharp, and his eyes were also golden linear animal pupils.

Bu Meteor hadn't spoken to him yet, and Jason hadn't had time to say anything.

Mr. Coleman has already grasped the absolute initiative. He chattered endlessly and pulled the two guests into the hallway.

"Goethe once said that a person's life, including the entire destiny, is likely to be determined by a short moment. I like this sentence very much, and I repeat it on my lips every day, repeating it, repeating it endlessly. "

His movements are smooth and natural, just like a dancer, with cadenced shouts coming out of his mouth, very enthusiastic.

"The two of you have to take off your shoes and socks, take off your coat, put down your weapons, and come to my big garden to take a good look. This will be an important moment for you to decide your own destiny. I am afraid that just a few hours may affect your entire life. , If you want to join Skull and Bones, you have to recognize its philosophy, it is great! Glorious! Magnificent! Omnipotent!"

Meteor wanted to protect his stick and gun, but under the guidance of Mr. Coman, he was like a spinning top, spinning three or four times in place, his shoes and socks were naked, and the thing on his hand disappeared.

It was an extremely delicate technique, pulling the bodies of Meteor and Jason, and within a few pulls back and forth, all the weapons on Meteor were removed.

Coman spoke softly, and asked again: "Mr. Bu Meteor, seeing your disappointed and lonely expression, I can't help but want to ask again, do you really want to bring guns, these dangerous and deadly weapons, to my ranch in?"

Bu Meteor felt guilty——

——Although he was in a defenseless state, Mr. Coleman did disarm all the guys on his body in a few seconds just now, leaving no bullets behind.

despite this.

Ah Xing is still stubborn: "I want to try it. Is it okay?"

Mr. Koman's face became more angry, and he lightly rang the summons bell at the registration desk.

"jingle--"

Right now, right now—

——This forty-year-old elegant uncle is no longer elegant, and his expression has become terrifying.

Dense snake-like creatures sprang out from the bright corridor.

Those creatures are very complicated to say-

——When they crawled on the ground, they were extremely fast, as if they had drilled out of a hidden hole in the corridor, and flowed behind Mr. Coman like a river.

They stand up suddenly, like cobras showing their horned heads and threatening to spit. The white belly scales are exposed, and the two hind legs stand upright, and the bright red scales on the two forelegs rustle, making a messy and fine sound when shaking.

More than twenty yellow snake eyes fixed on Bu Liuxing.

These four-legged monsters, similar to the dragon lizard, have the waist thickness of a normal human being, and when they stand up, they are almost three meters high.

The same is true for Coman, following the babies behind him, he spit out a red letter with a long tongue towards Bu Liuxing.

"Don't try it, I won't try it, listen to you! The gun is here!"

Ah Xing retracted his previous sentence at that time, he raised his head and looked at all the snake heads covering the headlights on the ceiling.

The snakes didn't speak, and Mr. Corman didn't—

— but it seems that everything has been said.

That kind of straight-eyed, noble posture with his hips on his hips, seems to say——

[--what's wrong with you? Little brother? ]
