Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

In terms of results, this shadow has indeed been successfully promoted, and its advanced form after completion has the strength to easily destroy a large city and deal with a modern army in the planet.But unfortunately, what it faced was not these things, but Virgil, who had already surpassed the former demon emperor, so he was crushed inhumanely, and his soul and power were even turned into magic tools because of overwhelming despair After death, he will not live in peace, and can only become a weapon used by Virgil in his life.

"Then it's time to head back home."

As Jiang Ming said, he turned his head and looked at the plane that came to pick them up.

-

In the following days, in the early morning hours of another day.

Jiang Ming opened his eyes, yawned and got up from the bed, knocked on the door of Fengzi next door to remind him to get up, and then went downstairs.

He had just arrived on the first floor, and he could already smell the faint aroma wafting from the kitchen.The orange-brown long-haired girl floating in a ghost state carefully shoveled a fried egg onto the plate, the big red bow on the top of her head swayed, and her big eyes were full of concentration.

"Are you up so early, Xiaowei?"

Jiang Ming walked behind the girl.

"It's Brother Jiang Ming, good morning!"

The little girl said hello energetically.

"Obviously I've always been the one who cooks in the morning, but now I'm really not used to it."

Jiang Ming smiled and said.

"Hey hey, after all, it was Uncle Virgil and everyone who saved me. If I stay here now, I still hope that I can be of some help."

The little girl said with a shy smile.

Tachibana Wei, the girl who was killed by the mountain god in the Quanming Town incident, her body was eaten, and her soul was enslaved, after being rescued, she was taken away by Virgil's self-serving decision and refused to leave her in Quanming Town Inside, so I came to this office.

The main reason is probably because if the child stays in Quanming Town, the child can only return to his mother, and after learning about the mother's performance from Jiang Ming, Virgil has a great feeling for that woman. Big sense of distrust and disgust, firmly refused to send Xiao Wei back.

Therefore, this child became another new member of the office. Under Xiao Wei's own strong request, she was in charge of the office's breakfast, and Jiang Ming did the relatively complicated and troublesome lunch and dinner.

I always feel that the average age of this firm is being gradually lowered. Is it my illusion?

Jiang Ming thought suspiciously in his heart.

Footsteps sounded from upstairs, very calm, and it was Virgil's footsteps.

Soon, the man opened the door and walked into the dining room on the first floor, looking at Jiang Ming and Xiao Wei with a calm expression.

"Good morning uncle!"

The little girl greeted with vigor.

"Well, morning."

Nodding, Virgil opened the stool and sat at the dining table.

Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Xiao Wei floated to the table and set the breakfast.After a while, Feng Zi rushed down, obviously a little sleepy and dazed.After the four of them sat down at the table, Fengzi and Xiaowei said "I'm starting", and then it was time for breakfast.

"It's okay to do today."

Virgil commented after eating breakfast.

"Well, as long as uncle likes it."

Xiao Wei replied very happily, with a smile on her face.

"In the morning, I will teach you cultural lessons. In the afternoon, you will study hard with the science teachers invited by Jiang Ming. Those teachers should be here today. Although you are now separated from normal human life to a certain extent, but You still need to master these necessary knowledge.”

Virgil then spoke again.

"Well, I will study hard and work hard."

Xiao Weili replied seriously.

"I always feel that you are about to start to change into the image of an old lady," Jiang Ming said to himself in amazement, "I don't know how Dante will feel when he sees this scene."

"Aren't you going to open the shop yet?"

Virgil, who had clearly heard Jiang Ming's voice, looked over indifferently.

"Yes, yes, Fengzi, come with me. There was a place in the office that was not cleaned last night. You can clean it later. I will open the door first."

"Oh, Fengzi will come right away!"

Outside, it can be seen that it is another fine weather.

I don't know what new things will happen today?

Jiang Ming thought in his heart, opened the door, and let the sun shine in from the outside.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"In this case, it's almost there."

Wiping the sweat off his brow, Kamijou Toya smiled, looking at the fruits of his labor in front of him.

A fence made of wood is built around the edge of the yard, and some ornamental vines will be planted later, so that in the coming year, you can see flowers climbing the fence.

"It's a pity that the yard is not big enough. It's almost the limit to build a shed, and there is not enough space to plant anything."

Jiang Ming on the side shook his head and said with a sigh.

Half a month has passed since the previous incident in Quanming Town.

The weather has become a little colder, and the season of this planet has come to winter.

The mission in Quanming Town was considered to have opened up the popularity of Jiang Ming's office, and also let some people from other planets know about Virgil's existence, so the commissions began to become more frequent.However, under such circumstances, Jiang Ming began to accept commissions selectively, rejecting all tasks he was not interested in, so until now the firm has only completed three commissions, and all of them were resolved on Earth 234.

The winter vacation of Kamijou Touma will come in about a week. Kamijou Toya became interested so rarely that he called Jiang Ming and others to tinker with the yard of his new home, set up a shed and a fence, Prepare to plant something to decorate the yard in the coming year.

"It's better to choose grape vines for vines, so that there are still fruits to eat in summer."

Jiang Ming thought for a while and said.

"It sounds very good. In summer, you can pick some grapes while enjoying the shade."

Kamijou Touma nodded and laughed.

Everyone chattered about planting flowers and plants in the yard. Virgil leaned on the newly built wooden fence and read a book, and the atmosphere seemed very lively.

Index joined the topic at this time, expressing that she wanted to plant more fruit trees, Xiao Wei brought water to the laborers to express condolences, and Leticia, who is currently adopted by Kamijou’s family, embraced Huddled in a corner with a heart-shaped pillow, shaking his head and watching everyone chatting.

It was at this time that the new commission came to the door.

"Well, is this Kamijou's house?"

A rather hearty voice sounded from outside the door.

It was a pretty handsome Caucasian guy, with a little beard, wearing slim clothes, showing a strong figure, at least he must be a well-trained bodybuilder.

But this is not the point, the point is that Jiang Ming quickly recognized this guy, he had seen this guy on TV.In fact, not only him, but also Kamijou's family immediately reacted. Except for Virgil, who didn't watch TV, and Leticia, who was a little distracted, everyone who watched some programs recognized the man standing by the door. man outside.

"Ha, it seems that self-introduction should not be necessary."

Nathan Drake, the number one host of Earth Mystery Program 234, a great explorer known for penetrating into various ancient ruins and even safely entering and exiting places marked as dangerous areas by the containment center, at this moment There was a smile on his face.

"Oh oh oh, it's the explorer Drake!"

Kamijou Touya was a little excited.

"Have you actually come to Yunhai City? Are there any relics worth exploring here? Is the new episode finally coming out?"

The man's shows are among his favorites.Because Drake usually looks for relics worth exploring first, conducts on-the-spot survey expeditions to them, and then edits and supplements shooting after the end, so there is a long time interval between each episode of the program. You must know that the last time Drake appeared The Quest for Lost Pirate Treasure show was three years ago.

"Ahahaha, let's put it this way, anyway, I'm here to find the devil may cry firm, and I hope to issue a commission."

Derek said so, showing a friendly smile to Jiang Ming.

The entrusted location is located on Earth 588, which is quite far away from Earth 234 where Jiang Ming and others are located.

Earth 588 is different from the normal planetary cognition, it is not a complete earth.In fact, only about three-quarters of the structure remains of the planet, which looks like an oval egg that has been cracked with one foot.

The reason for this is very simple, because after being teleported into this universe, Earth 588 collided with Earth 589, and the distance between the two planets was not more than a thousand kilometers, and this distance is not enough for the gravitational force of the planets. The words are quite fatal, the huge gravitational force pulls each other, directly tearing off the opposite sides of these two planets.

Under normal circumstances, these two planets would be completely destroyed, and none of the humans living on them could survive.But fortunately, there is a powerful god-like existence on Earth 588, who helped at the critical moment, and forcibly stabilized the gravitational balance of the two planets at the cost of their own destruction, turning them into mutually bonded twin stars .

Today's Earth 588 is an excellent tourist planet, and its tourist attractions rank first in the entire G star field. That is the impact area of ​​these two planets. Today's gravitational bonding area is called "Sea of ​​​​Sky" The place.

The ocean rises from the ground here and flies towards the sky, forming a gorgeous waterfall.

Among the flying rubble, this ocean flows all the way to the opposite planet. In the entangled and tornado-like atmosphere of the two sides, it can be called an unparalleled scenery.Every year, countless people come here from other planets to witness this magnificent view.

However, Drake's reason for wanting to go to this planet has nothing to do with this matter.

"It took me two years to sort out the information on the original human civilization on Earth 588. As you know, because of the big impact, the creatures on Earth 589 were almost completely extinct, leaving only some microorganisms in the ground. And 588 The Earth is almost completely destroyed. There are only less than 80 people left on a planet with a population of 10 billion. This is still a situation where gods take action, and its civilization cannot be inherited. These people can only choose to integrate into other planets and are willing to stay. Very few people."

"But even so, I still found one or two people who originally lived on Earth 588, and they told me that there is a very interesting thing on this planet."

"That thing, they call it: [God's Ladder]."

In the hall, Drake spoke to Jiang Ming and Virgil with a joyful expression.

As the civilization of Earth 588 was almost completely destroyed, it is difficult to get detailed records of what the so-called "Ladder of God" is.

But what is certain is that in all the descriptions, it is mentioned that it is a place where one can be sublimated from a human to a god as long as one walks up there.Even the god who protected planet 588 from its destruction is said to be just an ordinary person who has walked the ladder of gods.

According to the legend, some believe that the ladder is made of pure gold, and others believe that it is made of mysterious metal with powerful magic power.But no matter what kind of description it is, it is mentioned that the ladder was personally created by a great creator who can create the universe, and it is a promotion ladder set up to select noble people who can protect civilization.

In the beginning, this was just treated as a legend. After all, there are too many scattered materials, and the credibility of this kind of thing is really not high.What's more, even if that ladder is as the legend says, in this new world where all the rules have been restructured, it probably won't work anymore.However, with his years of experience in exploring secrets and treasures, Drake has smelled the mystery. Through years of data collection, he found that this ladder may really exist, and it still exists on that planet until now. .

"I can be sure that the so-called [God's Staircase] is a relic of the existence of this thing, and it is located in the 'Sea of ​​​​Sea'."

"There is the gravitational distortion area of ​​the two planets, where the oceans of the planets on both sides are attracted and meet. The existing records indicate that the so-called gods appeared from there. I think it is very likely that the ladder of gods is there. place."

Derek, who was a little excited, took a sip of water, looked at Jiang Ming, smiled and continued.

"So, I decided to go there and look for this ruin. I can be sure that thing is there, and my intuition has never missed it."

"But, ahaha, as you can see, I'm just an ordinary person. And, I don't know why, every expedition is obviously just to find treasure, but there are always various dangerous disasters, and there will be Involved in all kinds of dangerous conflicts, hunted down by gangsters, hunted down by arms dealers and so on."

"This can be regarded as my own hunch. I think this time the secret exploration operation may become quite troublesome and complicated. I haven't encountered such a feeling for many years. For safety reasons, I think I need to protect myself Find an agency to take care of my security."

Derek said so, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Ming.

"How, can I get your cooperation?"

The man said with a very sincere smile.

After thinking for a while in silence, he looked at Virgil first, seeing that the other party had no reaction to this, so after Jiang Ming pondered for a while, he stretched out his hand and held it with Nathan Drake's. together.
