monster collector

After finishing Griza, the armory was idle for a long time.

Walking to Jin Yu's table with light steps, Gina carefully put a cup of coffee on the corner of the table. "Vice-captain, your coffee."

"Hmm." Concentrating on browsing the files on the computer screen, Jin-Woo moved his left hand to the corner of the table, looking for the handle of the cup.Seeing this, Gina gently moved the cup and put it into his hand.

"Thank you." Holding the quilt, he picked up the coffee and slowly brought it to his mouth. Suddenly, Jiehua's exclamation sounded in the originally quiet command room.

"Ah ah ah."

His hands trembled in fright, and Xiao Yu's lips immediately sank into the hot coffee. "It's so hot." At this moment, the coffee has been poured out.

"It's not ironing." Seeing that his clothes were soaked, Gina gave Jiehua a hard look, hurriedly took the cup, and took out a tissue to wipe it.

At the same time, there was also a scream from Shecang on the other side.At this time, he was holding the scissors in his hand, and a large branch and leaf was lying quietly on the table.

Raising his head, he stared at Jiehua, his eyes full of helplessness.

Seemingly unaware of Shecang's gaze, Jiehua ran to his side and put her hands on his shoulders.Afterwards, She Cang, who was sitting on a chair, was pushed by her from behind the desk to in front of the big screen.

Armory chairs, of course, have wheels on the bottom.

"Captain, have you heard of the legend of Lion Hill?" Yuka asked him with a happy smile on her brow.

Not understanding what she was going to do, Shecang shook his head.

"Sure enough." Picking up the tablet from her desk, Jiehua projected a picture on the big screen.

In the picture, a lion-like animal with a burning body raised its right paw and pressed a dark figure under it.The edge of the pattern is also equipped with many lines of text.

"At this time, the legend of Holoboros has been passed down from generation to generation in Lion Hill Town," Yuka explained.

Standing in front of the screen, Yaohui tilted his head in doubt. "Horoboros? What's that?"

With an expression of "I knew you would ask that", Yuhua continued. "According to the records of Taiping Fengtu, it suppressed the demon god who would bring unimaginable disasters to human beings. It is a legendary beast."

Speaking of this, her eyes were full of admiration.It is hard to imagine that a top scientist would actually believe in the ancient legends recorded in ancient books.

With a very indifferent expression, Shecang replied while supporting his head with one hand. "Don't take it seriously. People in ancient times liked to attribute natural disasters to monsters. There are such legends everywhere."

Xiao Yu really didn't expect that he could say such a thing in a serious manner. Most of the things recorded in "Taiping Fengtuji" are true.For example, the six demon beasts, or Chigang.

Seeing that the captain was not interested in Yoko, Yuka hurriedly added.

"However, it is recorded in the above that at noon on the day when the Golden Crow shadows the Demon God, the seal that suppresses the Demon God will be broken. The Golden Crow refers to the sun in the legend. That is to say, at noon on the day when the sun appears in shadow, the Demon God's seal will be broken. It will will return to the world."

"A day when the sun casts shadows?" Yoko asked.There will be shadows on the sun, and most people can only think of a solar eclipse.

Sliding the tablet, Yuka held it up in front of Yoko. "It is a certain part of the sunspot, a mysterious phenomenon that gradually expands in a few hours, and today is that day."

Sunspots are dark areas that sometimes appear on the surface of the sun's photosphere.

"Then at noon today, is the Demon God going to show up?" Yaohui asked hastily.

Facing his question, Yuka nodded. "Yes, this means that if the seal is broken, something big may happen."

"Yeah, it looks like it's necessary to investigate." Dragging his chin with one hand, Xiao Yu thought to himself.What he was more concerned about was what kind of demon god was suppressed by Holoboros.

Moving his eyes to the screen, he wanted to take a closer look at the other person, trying to find some clues from the outline.Unexpectedly, he met Yuhua's expectant eyes.

"I'm whatever."

He didn't need to think about it to understand that this little girl must want to go out to the field to investigate.

"The vice-captain is the best." Knowing that Xiao Yu would readily agree, Yuhua immediately turned her target to Snake Cang. "Captain~, what I discussed with you."

Jumping to Shecang's side, she circled around him like a sparrow out of the cage, extremely excited.

"Today is the day of legends, and you may not meet it once in a lifetime. I want to investigate, please, please, captain."

Out of sight, out of mind, She Cang closed her eyes and turned around in circles.But in the end, he was still defeated by Yuhua's begging.

"Okay, okay, then you go." When he let go, his face was filled with indescribable helplessness.

"Great." Shouting, Yuhua rushed to her desk, took out a huge backpack, and kept stuffing things into it.

"What should I bring with me? Let me think about it. Bring some juice."

"I have to go outside at noon. Do you want to bring a bento? I still need that."

Watching her busy, Yoko's eyes showed deep fear, as if recalling some bad experience. "Ah, I remembered that today is the day for regular maintenance of the Jingu Bridge, so I'm leaving first."

Seriously, she still pulled Gina together.

"But I'm going too." Looking back at Xiao Yu, Gina was very reluctant.

"Don't worry, Senior Gina, Yaohui is following." After a lot of effort, Yoko finally took her out of here.

Just as the two left, Jiehua appeared in front of Yaohui dragging the bulging backpack.At this moment, it finally dawned on her that this silly boy could hardly escape from her Wuzhi Mountain.

Lying on the backpack, she looked at Yaohui with a smile, and winked playfully.

"Boy, let's take it as practice." Walking to Yao Hui's side, Xiao Yu patted his shoulder.

Staring blankly at the backpack, Yao Hui pointed at himself, and his whole face immediately collapsed, as if he had received extremely unfair treatment.But at this moment, he can only try to show his masculinity.

Without talking all the way, the three of them drove to the legendary place, the Hill of Lions, very quickly.After parking the car, Jin-Woo opened the trunk and tried Yuka's backpack.

Dude, it's really heavy.

"Yaohui, I'll leave it to you." Then, he walked behind Yaohui with his backpack in his hand.

"Oh." Stretching out his arms and carrying the bag on his back, Yaohui's answer seemed weak.

Holding only her tablet, Jie Hua quickly got out of the car and ran to the railing of the overpass. "Lion Hill has changed a lot." Her eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Really, how do you know." Yao Hui asked curiously.

"Well, at the end of this street is my great-grandmother's house. Our whole family used to come here to play every summer. At that time, my great-grandmother would always tell me various legends."

"Oh."

After a short pause, Yuhua continued to speak amazingly. "I've seen Holoboros here."

"Oh, huh." At the same time, both Xiao Yu and Yaohui were taken aback, this is amazing news.

"At that time, there was a mountain with dense trees. That mountain was a forbidden area, so don't go there. That's what my great-grandmother told me at the time. As a result, one day, driven by my curiosity, I ran into the mountain.

After that, there was a sudden thick fog, and I couldn't see anything clearly, so I naturally lost my way.At that time, I was very scared, so I squatted under the tree and cried.Gradually, various strange and terrifying sounds began to come from all directions.

But from one direction, there was a somewhat angry cry, dispelling the sounds that frightened me.

So I mustered up the courage to look in the direction where the call came from, and I saw Holoboros.It seemed to glance at me, raised its head to the sky and let out a cry, then closed its eyes and lowered its head.I also leaned against a tree and fell asleep.

The next morning, my family and the police found me in the mountains.I told them about it and they all said I was dreaming.

But only my great-grandmother believed me, and she told me that it was Lord Holoboros, a god.It is it that guards me at night. "

After listening to Yuhwa's narration, Xiao Yu roughly understood what happened.As ridiculous as it sounds, this story should be true.As for the guy who made those horrible sounds, it could only be a ghost in the mountains.

The existence of gods and monsters on the earth is nothing new.More typical ones, such as the King of Hades that Tai Luo once faced, the double-faced ghost that Di Jia faced, and the grieving ghost that Gauss faced.

These three belong to the more powerful kind of ghosts, and there will naturally be weak ghosts.

Looking into the distance, Yuhua continued to speak. "There are many unknown creatures living on the earth, and there are many vast worlds that we still don't know. I want to solve all those mysteries, so I became a monster researcher."

"So that's the case." Yaohui replied.

"Very good, let's start the investigation now." Saying that, Yuhua rushed down the overpass with Yaohui.

Quietly lying on the railing, Xiao Yu just watched the two running around below.Following behind Yuhua, Yaohui is like a dedicated assistant.

Perhaps because she was too excited, Jiehua was unwilling to let go of anything, and launched a pervasive investigation of every plant and tree here.If there was enough time, Jin-Woo even suspected that she would dig out every earthworm in the ground to have a look.

As time passed, Yaohui seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

Boring with the morning breeze blowing, Xiao Yu received a call from Shecang when it was about to reach noon. "How's the investigation going?"

Didn't you conclude that this is a legend? Why did you come to ask me, thinking so in his heart, he replied. "There is no status yet, but the legend should be true."

"Then I'll put Jin Guqiao and Wu Yingdam on standby, and rush over if something happens."

"Okay." Acknowledging his thoughts, Xiao Yu replied, and then hung up the communication.At this moment, Jie Hua seemed to have found something useful.

Squatting under a tree, she took the probe and inserted it into the soil. When the needle was inserted halfway, it hit a hard object and could not move forward by half a minute.

"I seem to have bumped into something, it's so hard, Yaohui, come and take a look."

"What...is there in this kind of place." Kneeling beside her, Yaohui panted.He was very tired after carrying such a big bag on his back for a long time.

The probe was pulled out, Yuhua took out the tool, and started digging.After a lot of effort, she actually unearthed a conch fossil from it.

"Great, if it is an extinct species, it is a major discovery."

"I see it's just an ordinary stone." Compared to this, Yao Hui still cared more about his empty stomach and tired legs.

Not caring about his condition at all, Yuka stuffed the conch still stained with mud into his hand. "Take it and keep it safe for me." After she finished speaking, she began a new exploration.

With a bitter face, Yaohui was about to catch up with her, when a hand was suddenly placed on his shoulder, grabbing the strap of the backpack. "Give it to me, you rest for a while."

"Thank you for your help, Captain." As if being pardoned, Yaohui unceremoniously put down his backpack, only holding the conch to chase after Jiehua who had already run up the bridge.

Putting the backpack full of various things on his back, Jin-Woo quickly caught up with them.

Going all the way along the overpass, Jiehua stopped and walked, looking for the next location.Suddenly, when she reached an intersection, she stopped and stared blankly at the sky.

For a moment, there seemed to be some kind of induction, and the scene in her memory merged with this place.Intuition told her that this is where Holoboros appeared back then.

"I found it. There is no mistake. It is near here. The place where I met Holoboros when I was four years old is here." She exclaimed excitedly.

"Is Holoboros around here?" Jin-Woo asked hastily.

"Yeah." Yuhua nodded affirmatively.

As if remembering something, Jin-Woo raised his head and looked directly at the sun.On the bright red fireball, several black spots are slowly expanding.For ordinary people, it is difficult to see such a scene.

"Is this why the Golden Crow is covered?" He murmured.

At this moment, the detector in Jiehua's hand made a rapid sound. "The geothermal heat is rising sharply, and life forms have been detected."

On the edge of the city, there was also a roar that pierced through the sky, and then the ground shook violently.

"Yaohui, immediately contact the local police to evacuate the crowd." Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted.

"Ohhh."

In the next second, right in front of the three of them, the high soil shot up into the sky like a fountain gushing out.In the dust, a giant beast with blue body, blue eyes, and white hair lurks in it.

Subconsciously, Yao Hui wanted to raise the gun, but Xiao Yu held his arm in time. "Don't panic, look at the situation first."

At this moment on the ground, Holoboros looked around like a stranger who had just arrived.Perhaps in its eyes, everything here is quite different from before it fell asleep.

Finding that the other party was not malicious, Yuhua raised her arm and shouted. "Horoboros, do you remember me?"

Attracted by her voice, Holoboros lowered his head and stared at her with his eyes.

However, at this moment, a cloud of black mist flew out from the ground and fled into the air.Roaring, Horoboros jumped high, trying to grab him back with his claws.

But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.The black mist actually changed direction and got into Holoboros' mouth.

In the next second, Holoboroz's blue sky-like eyes were stained red with blood.
