Chapter 298 The First Stage: External Dragon Scale Reproductive Armor Shell

The hotel's super deluxe double room was dimly lit, with velvet curtains blocking the bustling Chicago night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The only light source was the mobile phone in Chu Zihang's hand. He was lying on the sofa so as not to affect Su Xiaoyan, who was already sleeping soundly on the big bed.

Although his mother liked Xia Mi very much, Chu Zihang was not relaxed enough to let her sleep in the same bed with Xia Mi.

Including Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang entrusted Eva to call in her mother's travel information, such as surveillance videos near her home, taxi information to the airport, air ticket itinerary... etc., and carefully read them one by one, trying to learn from them. Uncover some anomalies.

He still had doubts about his mother's behavior of suddenly running over to Chicago alone, and did not rule out the possibility of a demon's conspiracy - although Lu Mingfei was sure that the crow demon had been completely burned by the emperor's light... although it was a bit neurotic. , but it’s always right to keep an eye on everything.

After spending about ten minutes reading through all the information without finding any abnormalities, Chu Zihang felt relieved for a moment. Just as he was about to turn off the phone screen and fall asleep, the hybrid's extraordinary hearing allowed him to hear someone outside the door. He shouted "brother" inarticulately.

Xia Wang? He recognized who the voice was and frowned slightly. Did something happen when you came here late at night?

Glancing at his mother who hadn't been woken up, he walked off the sofa without making a sound, quickly opened the door and walked out, then quickly closed it again.

The thin boy was wearing pajamas. When he saw Chu Zihang coming out, his dark blue eyes immediately burst into tears, sliding down his face as pretty and quiet as a girl:

"Sister...is missing..."

"Gone?" Chu Zihang was stunned, and quickly walked to the double room booked for the two brothers Xia Mi and Xia Wang, which was more than 20 meters apart. Sure enough, Xia Mi was nowhere to be seen in it.

There were two cups next to the bedside table, which were filled with milk. Because his mother had the habit of drinking warm milk before going to bed, he also arranged two cups for the two siblings. He sniffed the cups and found nothing unusual. Come.

Xia Mi's Sony Ericsson phone was also placed next to it. When she clicked it to see the wallpaper, it showed a selfie of her wearing a school uniform. Chu Zihang didn't know the password and couldn't click on it to see if she had left any message.

"Eva, please excuse me." Chu Zihang thought that instead of trying to figure out how to solve the case as Detective Conan, it would be more efficient to find Eva.

"Connecting to the Peninsula Hotel's internal surveillance system."

Just like Fingel said, "You can always trust my girlfriend," Eva's execution ability is by no means comparable to that of human beings. She gave a reply in less than thirty seconds:

"On the twelfth floor, VIP area suite 026, there is suspected illegal activity, and the possibility of a fight breaking out is 88%. The best route has been marked and the road is open. Is it necessary to activate an evacuation plan?"

"Received. I will confirm with my own eyes whether to evacuate or not. Notify the execution department first."

Chu Zihang turned around and saw Xia Wang looking at him pitifully. He comforted him coldly:

"I'm going to find your sister now. You can hide in your room. Unless I bring your sister back, don't open the door no matter who comes. Do you understand?"

The boy nodded obediently and entered the room while rubbing the corners of his pajamas uneasily with his hands. After closing the door, Chu Zihang quickly left and informed Eva:

"Pay attention to these two rooms. If there is any abnormality on the way, immediately raise the fire alarm."

"receive."

Chu Zihang ran quickly along the hotel corridor. Although Eva opened the VIP elevator to him that requires a VIP card or hotel employee card, he still chose to run up the stairs from the tenth floor to the VIP area on the twelfth floor. .

Compared with the normal area, the decoration in the VIP area is more luxurious. The wool carpets laid in the corridor are as red as blood under the warm yellow light. Chu Zihang passes by one after another marked with ancient Roman numerals and exquisite patterns. The house number, the men's low and rough roars and the women's screams of pleasure, debauchery, as if being rushed to the top, were constantly heard in the ears.

After all, not everyone stays in a hotel just to sleep until the next day. At first, Chu Zihang didn't pay much attention to it, but as the sounds became clearer and seemed to be happening next to him, he took out the phone he was wearing on his index finger. The silver-white metal sword emblem ring, the complicated alchemical matrix lit up, and the ring metal rapidly expanded and took shape in a form that did not conform to the laws of physics——

Formerly known as "Tian Congyun", the tail bone of the White King's remains, it was now forged again by the legion's chief (self-proclaimed) alchemist sergeant, and is now a new alchemical weapon named "Tough" by Chu Zihang.

Its appearance is a silver-white metal textured broad-blade giant sword. It is exquisite and dense. Every detail looks like a painting. The alchemical matrix pattern is engraved on every part of the sword, making this giant blade It looks more like a piece of art in a museum than a murder weapon.

The long corridor in front of you seems to be spliced ​​together and repeated, with no end in sight. The infinitely repeating patterns on the red wool carpet and the orderly and infinitely extending warm yellow lamps on the ceiling, a soft and pleasant smell of lilac. The smell seemed to seep out from the cracks in the door.

The further they went, the stronger the fragrance became, and the roars and cries of joy made by men and women due to sensory stimulation became louder, like a symphony of sin and blasphemy... Chu Zihang's senses ached slightly, and he was about to Try to resist the mental pollution here.

If it were an ordinary person here, his spirit would probably be insane and sinking, and his heart would be eager to open one of the doors and join in the joyful act of making those sounds.

"Eva." Chu Zihang took a deep breath.

"Receive...signal...almost..." Eva's voice was intermittent, with disturbing electrical noise.

"Sound the alarm, evacuate and seal the hotel, notify the Executive Department, S-class incident."

This place has become a Nibelungen full of danger and unknown.

"With the Emperor's light, I will have nothing to fear."

Chu Zihang whispered to himself, his pupils filled with bright golden light.

Compared with the power of faith that could be gathered behind the body into divine and gorgeous wings in the past, the power of faith now can be said to be bleak, with only dots of starlight outside the body;

But now Chu Zihang is not a benefactor who cannot fight without the power of faith. He holds "tenacity" to strengthen himself and find the right path in this Nibelungen space full of blasphemy and pollution.

…

"Thank you for giving me this pretty good skin~ Are you really not going to join me? I can give you everything you want~"

Its tone is pleasant but full of sarcasm, its tone is warm but hidden with curses. What seems like a gentle invitation is actually a passport to the abyss.

Xia Mi understands this very well, especially in her current state.

She gave her own response, a standard national curse that was completely inconsistent with her image as a young, quiet and beautiful girl, a pillar of the motherland and a beautiful flower, or a golden-crowned empress looking down on the world:

"Get the fuck out of here, you idiot."

She was panting while holding a huge scythe that was completely out of proportion to her body shape. The pajamas she wore from the Peninsula Hotel in Chicago had been torn to pieces, revealing the white and smooth silk underwear underneath, wrapping the girl's beautiful body.

The other party seemed to be teasing her, deliberately attacking her into this embarrassing look.

"Fuck...my reputation is now going to drop from 'The Strongest Next-Generation' to 'The Strongest Hybrid'!"

Xia Mi cursed in a low voice.

And Yuri Hani...the old, bald, pot-bellied white man disappeared. His body was occupied by another unknown thing and underwent a completely new change.

His body suddenly grew to over two meters tall, and his muscular body exuded a wild heroic spirit, but also had a stomach-churning ugliness; his upper body sprouted two pairs of arms, a pair of thick muscles as big as fists. Casserole, a pair of slender, deadly and sharp knives made of bone, and a pair of mutated hooves on the lower body as thick as pillars.

But every move he made revealed the enchantment of women, which could be said to be beautiful and elegant, and a strange fragrance like violet spewed out from his breath.

His body also retains the characteristics of the dragon clan, such as the almost invisible pink-purple scales outside his body, the unknown dragon horns on his head, etc...

"Look at you, abandoning that powerful and perfect posture just to refuse a great gift~ What a stupid act this is, little Gad~"

He tilted his head, his eyes filled with two different colors, gold and pink; he stepped forward, his body strong but as graceful as a singer's.

"If the professionals don't come, then I will really be doomed..." Xia Mi gritted his teeth, grabbed the sickle and regained his composure, "This is all the trouble you caused!"

"boom!"

The door to the room was violently blasted open, and Chu Zihang walked in indifferently with a "tough" expression on his face, his golden eyes reflecting everything in the room.

He first glanced at Xia Mi, who was breathing a big sigh of relief. Apart from being slightly surprised by the sickle in her hand, the rest of his mind was immediately attracted to the species in front of him.

"Ah~ Isn't this one of the mortals favored by the 'Cursed One'?"

He-She narrowed her jewel-like eyes and stared at Chu Zihang, grinning.

"demon!"

As soon as the blasphemous name was uttered, Chu Zihang immediately determined the identity of the other party and made the absolutely only countermeasure - Lu Mingfei once said what to do when encountering a demonic creature:

"Ignore any of the opponent's words, just rush forward and chop him to death! Completely purify and eliminate the opponent's dirty existence in the name of the Emperor!"

Moreover, the opponent seemed to belong to a completely different dark realm than the bird-headed demon, and was much more dangerous and deadly.

Chu Zihang did not dare to be careless, and tore the hotel pajamas he was wearing on his upper body with one hand. The muscles with well-proportioned contours, three-dimensional lines, and beauty were not exposed for too long. The countless fine velvet pores on the body surface were stimulated by the dragon blood. It becomes thicker and blacker, evolving into pieces of blue-black scales in the shape of perfect swords and shields;

At the same time, his body is also undergoing a second level of evolution. The most obvious ones are naturally the well-developed back muscles in the upper body that are congested and expanded, and the leg muscle chains in the lower body that have burst the pants. They are different from the bodybuilders in the competition. These lines of flesh are like cast steel, full of power and explosiveness. They are forged and evolved for killing.

When Chu Zihang dragged "Tenacity" into a fighting stance, blue-black scales had covered his whole body like an indestructible metal armor. On the surface, it looked like rows upon rows, but in fact, it had perfectly streamlined and aerodynamic dents;

The twisted dragon horn-like sharp corners protrude slightly from the thick shoulder armor; the new bone tissue pierces the skin of the face and proliferates into a dark and cold bone mask covering the face, and only the two eye sockets can be seen. Dazzling golden light like a gas lamp.

"Dragon bloodline erosion deep in the body and extreme external alienation" is the academic name given to this phenomenon by the secret party hybrids. It only exists in SSS-level confidential files, and the individual Deadpools who have undergone such changes have already been completely wiped out by heavy firepower. Erased, there is absolutely no possibility of in vivo research;

"The beginning of the evolution of bloodline refining and transformation into gods", this is a biological alchemical change that His Highness Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire and the supreme master of dragon alchemy, had nothing to do and used it to observe the changes in mixed-race humans who were still slaves at the time. Variety;

"The Sword of Revelation Legion, the first stage of the new Astartes genetic engineering transformation surgery (tentative template): In vitro dragon scale reproductive armor shell" - This is the first time that His Majesty the Emperor combined his own wisdom and new alchemical technology and Using the outstanding achievements of new genetic engineering, hybrid humans have taken the first step in transforming into a new type of Emperor's warriors.

Chu Zihang had listened countless times to Lu Mingfei's detailed account of the nineteen transformation surgeries required to become a dying angel and transcend the boundaries of mortals - this sounded more like the last surgical procedure "Black Carapace". As for why he became the first stage of the operation... Then I'm afraid I have to ask His Majesty the Emperor's will in person, right?

In short, Chu Zihang and Fingel were "fortunate" to become the "pioneers" (experimenters) of the first stage of transformation surgery, while Lu Mingfei could only watch with envy and anticipation as his brother accepted the emperor's glorious transformation first... …

The main reason is that both of their bloodlines and speech spirits clearly come from the King of Bronze and Fire. Now this dragon king is safe, docile and reliable. He only needs enough food in the cafeteria to provide the needs for transformation surgery indefinitely. of pure serum…

In other words, Old Tang is their "father" in a sense - after hearing from Fingel, "Okay, Father Tang, please prepare more good serum for me next time." Old Tang said, "Okay?" "Problematic good son" and then hugging each other and laughing and joking. Differently, Chu Zihang was not very willing to accept this title.

But no matter what, this first stage of transformation surgery can clearly bring a significant increase in combat power to hybrid individuals. The scale structure amplified by the dragon's refined bloodline is fused with the liquid hyperplasia bone material of hybrid individuals - and this part of the material Originally a skeleton prepared for evolution into draconic form (the Emperor's will required that his new warriors be also human and not of another species);

At the same time, the genetic structure connecting the body and the external carapace has also been optimized, using a spiral structure with considerable rigidity and strength to connect the external carapace. This also allows the hardness and toughness of even the weakest dragon scale armor shell to be far higher than that of the next generation. Dragon scales on the body in the form of a dragon.

Moreover, the outer carapace seems to change due to hybrid individuals with different spirits. For example, there is a hole in the center of Chu Zihang's chest that seems to have been penetrated by some high-heat material and the edge has not yet dissipated and cooled down. In the "extreme" state of the solar eclipse, fine and complex alchemical patterns formed a ring of subtle flames at the edge.

"What... what is this?" Xia Mi looked at the changes that happened to Chu Zihang with a look that "shocked my mother", "Is the Kamen Rider transforming?"
