The busy signal of hanging up the phone came from the mobile phone, until the mobile phone screen automatically returned to desktop standby and fell into darkness. Lin Nian's red eyes were reflected in the black screen. He took the mobile phone and dialed back the number. There was only

Here comes the sweet female voice dictating: The phone you dialed has been turned off.

"She is indeed alive and well. If nothing happens, she will still be able to live healthily in the future." Shao Nanyin said slowly, "It all depends on your decision, Lin Nian."

Lin Nian put down his phone and looked at her.

"Let me go and stop the hyenas behind you from chasing my tail. This is my condition."

Shao Nanyin was answered with silence, a long silence. At the gambling table, neither Miss Ge nor Wei Lai Weier interrupted, because they knew that they had no place to interrupt at this time, and random declarations of sovereignty would only make things worse.

"Think about Lin Nian." Shao Nanyin said softly, "Since you met 'Shao Nanyin', so many years have passed. Has there been any trouble?"

"Not yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future." Miss Ge whispered, "Living in a world ruled by alien species must be a kind of torture all the time for a proud species like you, right? The real society has taken shape

Without the pyramid of classes, how can the dragons tolerate the fact that we humans are the ones in control at the top of the pyramid today after returning from a long absence? Sooner or later, you will be unable to bear it, sooner or later."

"Why are you so arbitrary?" Shao Nanyin turned to look at Miss Ge with a frown.

When her expression showed displeasure, Willie Weir's hand had already been put under the gambling table. The back of Miss Ge's hand, which was slightly trembling because of Lin Nian's molten golden boy, was as tight as gold and stone, and was beaten by a pure-blood dragon.

A kind of glare? The feeling of being ready to explode is like a swollen ball of hot air under a forcibly contained calm, which may burst out at any time due to a movement.

"I used to think I understood you." Lin Nian spoke. He did not look at Shao Nanyin's face anymore, but looked sideways at the window connecting the outside of the dark hall outside the gaming table.

"I haven't seen many pure-blooded dragons, most of them are dead, and few of them can really say a few words, so in my world, you are not intellectual animals like the label 'human'.

Instead, it’s more like a synonym for ‘enemy’.”

Things like ‘enemies’ never need to be understood or communicated with. They only need to fight, fight, and finally watch their souls turn into dust in the wind.

Just like the bullets sprayed with rage and wild roar on the battlefield, they drilled holes in the figures in the retina one by one, representing the medals on the chest after the war, which are honor and victory.

But no one will ever tell you that it also means families in another corner of the world are on the verge of collapse one after another.

It is best for an enemy to be just an enemy, nothing else, something pure. When the knife opens the wound, it is best to only have blood flowing out, not those blue emotions overflowing with broken bottles.

"But the facts tell me that what I thought was often wrong." He said.

But the reality is always so unsatisfactory. After experiencing so many things, how could Lin Nian regard them as pure labels, the child gazing at the stars, the dragon carcass sleeping in the Yangtze River.

In Baidi City, he asked the white-robed Dragon King, if possible, are you really willing to abandon everything, abandon your race and that great destiny, and hide with Constantine until no one can find him?

Do you know where you died?

The king didn't answer him, just looked at him.

That's why he lost his composure at that moment and growled and asked.

It's just a planted seed, and the seed will sprout sooner or later. Some people don't want to see that day, but that day will come sooner or later. He meets countless people on the road. The more corpses he buries as fertilizer, the more

A seed will germinate faster until it grows into a towering tree.

Yes, in the past, perhaps he could ignore many less important things and become pure and quietly become the sharpest knife everyone expected.

But now, now that he knows a lot of things, he may not be able to be that simple anymore. So he chased another answer, an answer that could comfort him.

"I heard that dragons are confused for a long time after waking up from the 'cocoon'. They don't know where they came from or where they are going. They are just like babies born in this world, starting from scratch to explore all new things around them."

"The habit of living things to gather in groups is innate, so even dragons will unconsciously associate with the cats and dogs around them at first, happy and ignorant. But at some point they will eventually wake up, and from then on

From a moment on, they seem to go crazy and eat and kill the small things around them, being violent and terrifying."

"But I don't understand why? Is cruelty and ruthlessness really the dogma of the dragon clan? Are you born to be enemies of humans?"

The boy's voice was a little low and gray, like the feet of a house with cobwebs hanging from it. He stopped and stared at the darkness and void that he knew no one would clean up.

Miss Ge and Willie Weil were silent. They tried their best not to remember these rebellious words. Any words spoken by any commissioner would be enough to be sent to the court as long as the evidence was retained. This is against

The questioning of the party religion and the disloyalty to the history of blood and fire between humans and dragons.

Perhaps because of this, the school board and the secret party are so concerned about this boy. Is this what they are afraid of happening? The hostility and rebellious period of young people? Those small problems are just conflicts that can be settled with a little money and manpower.

That’s all.

What really scares the Secret Party is that their thoughts may always go wrong. Once their thoughts take the wrong path, the path of correction that will be filled with flesh and blood is the future that countless people fear and fear.

Shao Nanyin looked at the boy blankly. After a long time, she moved her lips slightly and lowered her head and said: "Maybe it's because the memory of that period... is too small? Compared with the once majestic experience and past, the memory of this short period of time is...

Life is only a moment."

"Is Shao Nanqin just a short moment for you?" He was clearly questioning, but his emotions were so dead, like spoiled food and soup, or stagnant water that no longer flows.

"Maybe." Shao Nanyin said in a low voice while avoiding Lin Nian's eyes.

"I don't know what you dragons are like." Lin Nian said, "But at least we humans live for a certain moment. In that moment, who is good to you, who says something to you

, one action you make...just that one moment is enough to constitute your entire life in the future."

"Don't you think it's a little too... persistent and extreme?"

It sounds like a dog. When you call his name and hug him hard, at that moment he will always respond to your call until death... Isn't that what people are like? They always want something.

A person is obsessed with things. When they are paranoid, they are often more stubborn than dogs. They are simply the most unreasonable things in the world.

Shao Nanyin opened her mouth, but could not say anything under Lin Nian's peaceful gaze. Her expression became a little loose, but she soon calmed down again. After a while, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly and said: "What are you doing... What are you doing?"

It has to be as if I am the perpetrator, obviously I am the victim, okay?"

Lin Nian was silent. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Lin Nian, breathed out and said, "I admit, your heartfelt words seem to make sense. I really shouldn't use her as a hostage. If we really want to talk about feelings, we

How could the Dragon Clan lose to you humans again? How about we make a bet? This farce will be decided by a single outcome."

"In terms of victory or defeat, you will die." Lin Nian said.

There was no accident. When Lin Nian drew the sword, it was the moment of Shao Nanyin's death. If she had made a 'cocoon' in advance, her soul would have returned to another long sleep, but then the secret party would always take advantage of her.

The corpse can come out of the 'cocoon', and then completely imprison her, or literally kill her.

"I can't beat you. I admit that the 'strength' in my bloodline is not my advantage. Compared with my ancestors, I am indeed inferior to you so-called hybrids, so the outcome this time will not be determined by a life-and-death fight." Shao

Nanyin paused as he spoke and looked at Wei Lai Weier.

Wei Lai Weier was stunned and thought to himself, "You want to fight a monster, then you fight, and see what I do?" But after a while, he understood what Shao Nanyin meant, because he found that Shao Nanyin was not looking at himself, but at

A pile of poker cards in his hand.

"Texas? Isn't this a little too much..." Miss Ge whispered subconsciously.

"Child's play?" Shao Nanyin said, "This is a farce to begin with, so it's better to end it with child's play, right? Do you really have to see blood to be satisfied?"

"Not really." Miss Ge stopped talking.

Ending this alien hunting with Texas Hold'em poker? This is an absurd plot that the UII team has never experienced before, but now it is presented in front of them, especially when it is proposed by dragons who have always been unreasonable and cruel.

This made her feel inexplicably weird.

Sure enough, when the No. 1 accident-prone 'S' class is present, nothing will go according to the script or plan. But fortunately, this time it is developing in a safe and harmonious direction, and it will not suddenly happen to one party.

He started to use his words and spirits, and his bloodline to kill the whole world, and so on.

"If I lose all the chips in front of us first, I will tell you Shao Nanqin's location and I will follow you. If you lose all the chips first, don't stop me when I leave here. After I leave, you

You will get a complete and worry-free Shao Nan Qin." Shao Nanyin said.

"Are you sure?" Lin Nian asked.

"I'm sure." Shao Nanyin casually threw out the cards in his hand.

Lin Nian was quiet for a while, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

Shao Nanyin nodded and looked at Wei Lai. The chips in the pot were divided again, and the poker cards were shuffled again. The originally interrupted Texas Hold'em game started again, but this time the things at stake were no longer chips.

But something heavier.

Under the gambling table, Su Xiaoqiang, who was watching everything silently in the darkness, frowned slightly at some point. She did not alert Shao Nanyin and Lin Nian, but turned around and left the hall alone. She put on the headset with her right hand and connected to the public channel.
