The red vote exceeded 30,000 and said, hahahahahaha^0^, thank you for your continued support. Then, let’s go to the next target of 40,000 votes! gooooooooo!
——————————
"It is not easy to use the promise of "Plain Rejuvenation Art" until the moment of life and death." The red beast touched his nose and looked up at the large tree in the distance that turned yellow because of the essence of life absorbed. The tone was extremely heavy: "When the essence of life is absorbed, the plants will wither and die immediately. But humans and plants are equal lives, and no one can be more noble than anyone else. So this selfish behavior is wrong. There are many other ways to treat injuries. So, my friend, you promise me that you will never easily use this despicable skill until the moment of life and death. But now... now..."
The red beast curled up, hugged his head with his hands, and let out a heavy sigh. The sound was filled with deep loss and pain. Originally, a big man like him, who was doing such a fragile behavior as if he was bullied, was ridiculous, but Lan Hai did not laugh because he could vaguely feel that the red beast did not seem to be suffering entirely for those plants that were deprived of their lives and were innocently killed. It was more like... suffering for the loss of his "friend"?
Lan Hai didn't know how he should respond. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sat down beside the big man, hugged his knees, staring at the mountains and forests in the distance, and silently said. After more than ten minutes, Lan Hai suddenly sighed and said with emotion: "People can change. Even if they don't want to, they will often be forced by the environment to change. This may be what is called... 'People are in the world, and they can't help themselves'. Just like me, it's not because I am willing, that people are locked in the magnetic field. As for whether they lose their memory, they can't help themselves. Just like Red Beast, you didn't attack me from your original heart, right? But..."
Lan Hai paused, and his eyes, which were slightly blurred when he looked at the distant mountains, gradually returned to clearness. He said in a calm voice: "No matter how it changes, there is one thing that will never change, that is your own 'heart'. As long as you are a friend who truly communicates with your heart, then I believe that no matter what changes the environment forces us to make, this friendship can exist forever. Red Beast, what do you think?"
The huge body of the Red Beast shook slightly. He hesitated and raised his head from between his knees, turned to look at the Blue Ocean. His lips trembled and he asked with a stuttering, "Do you... do you think...we... can still be...friends again?"
"I don't know." Lan Hai shook his head and said, "To be honest, I feel very curious. From any perspective, you and I are obviously two people from completely different worlds and should not have any intersection. So, why did we become friends in the past? And... you are one of the "Top Ten Heavenly Kings", right? So, why did you dress like this and appear alone in this forest?"
"I am a wild beast, of course I should live in the forest." The red beast did not hesitate at all, and blurted out: "Just like fish should live in water, not on land. But they didn't understand, but forced me to learn to be a human being. We should wear clothes well, not walk with our limbs, not use our hands when we eat, we should behave in a regular and regular manner, and there are always rules everywhere. Before the age of eighteen, I lived in the city, and I had never felt relaxed and at ease even for a second. And the only person who could understand me... was you. Or, you were the one you before."
"So that's it." Lan Hai smiled, and naturally there was a deep look of remembrance between his eyebrows. Of course, it was not about the memory of playing with the red beast when he was a child, but about living in another era and his own past. He nodded with emotion and said, "That should have happened more than ten years ago, right? However, under the teacher, I am not the youngest, and there is Duan Pili below. And you two are brothers, so they should have a good relationship. Why, he didn't play with the mud with you?"
The muscles on the red beast's face twitched and jumped twice, and a trace of sinisterness naturally appeared between his eyebrows. He said slowly: "Duan Pili... Hey, in his eyes, I am not only not a human, but not even a beast. At most, it is just a watchdog. So, will you respect the watchdog you raise and be friends with it?"
"Watch dog? I don't think he is qualified to see you like this." Lan Hai turned around in surprise and looked at the Red Beast, saying, "I also fought with him at Tianxing Castle one night. Although he had the magic weapon of "Wind and Snow" in his hand, he would not have the upper hand. If everyone is empty-handed, he will definitely lose. And you... To be honest, if you had the calmness you were now, then the defeated person would become me. Oh, by the way. If you were there one night, why didn't you avenge me like today?"
"Because the teacher was also present at that time. If the teacher was there, the impact of 'Phantom Demon' on me still existed, but it would drop to a very low level. I still think you are my mortal enemy, but I know how to endure." The muscles on the red beast's cheek twitched again, as if they didn't want to get stuck on this issue anymore. He turned the conversation and said, "As for Duan Pili, don't underestimate him. That night, he was actually far from exerting his true strength. The teacher once said that as long as Duan Pili can understand the root of his own strength, the knife in his hand can cut through everything in the world."
"I don't understand it very well." Lan Hai frowned and said, "Did I have a grudge against Duan Pili before? Why does he seem to hate me very much?"
"I don't know. Anyway, this has been like this since I was a child." The Red Beast sneered as if he was self-deprecating, and said, "People outside said that Duan Pili and I are both adopted sons of the teacher. In fact, this statement is simply wrong. The teacher's adopted son is only Duan Pili from beginning to end. And I... hey, I was just picked up by the teacher and prepared to raise a stray dog for the doorman."
There is absolutely no lack of resentment among the words of Red Beast. However, even if outsiders want to help, they have no way to talk about this kind of thing. After hesitating for a while, Lan Hai finally sighed slowly and said nothing more. Everything you can know is already known. Although the harvest is not as great as expected, it is only worth it. And when his memory has not yet been restored, it is difficult for himself to ask himself to treat Red Beast as his close friend like a brother. Since that is the case, there is no need to stay here. Lan Hai looked at the big forest in the distance with a few minutes, and finally made up his mind.
Lan Hai stood up and said slowly: "In the past, we were friends, and you did do a lot of things for me. So in order to thank you, if it is not a last resort, I will not use the 'Pearl Rejuvenation Art' casually. And this time, unless I die, no matter what or anything I encounter again, I will never forget this promise. Red Beast, goodbye. I hope that next time we meet, we will not have to fight to death like today. As for whether we can become friends for the second time... then let's go with the flow."
"Wait a minute, old friend." Red Beast also stood up and asked, "Now, you already know that you have disappeared after seeing the giant shark king. Then... you probably won't want to see him again, right? Promise me, you will definitely not. Otherwise, I don't believe how long you can keep the previous promise."
"Giant Shark... Even if he has nothing to do with my disappearance, he is always the enemy who killed my parents. Sooner or later, I will settle the score with him, right? But..." Lan Hai smiled, turned around and walked straight away. He raised his right hand and waved it in the air, without looking back, and said easily: "It won't be now. At least, I won't be until I rush to 250,000 horsepower. So, my friend, take care of myself."
※※※※※※
Lan Hai's mood was not as relaxed as he showed. In fact, at this moment, he felt that his chest was pressed into a huge rock of ten thousand kilograms, so heavy that he could hardly even breathe. Just because of the big forest, he noticed something. That was, in the "Lan Country", beside him, in the dark corner where light could not be exposed, it seemed that a mastermind behind him was hidden anytime and anywhere, watching all his moves. No matter where he went, he could not get rid of the surveillance of this mastermind behind him. The evidence was "Phantom Demon Way".
Before disappearing, the relationship between Blue Sea and Red Beast should be a secret that no third person knew. But when he disappeared, someone immediately found Red Beast and used the "Phantom Demon Way" to manipulate this strong man, one of the "Top Ten Heavenly Kings" as a puppet. Thinking about it carefully, it really makes people feel disappointed. Is the person who is attacking behind the scenes really a giant shark? Or is he one of the three brothers of the Shark family? No matter who it is, Blue Sea believes that he will never be weak and confess his friends because of surrendering to some torture.
In other words, what I thought was a secret relationship was actually probably already under surveillance from the beginning, right? And even now, Lan Hai still believes that surveillance has never stopped, and there is no blind spot at all. As long as I remain on the land of "Blue Country", it is impossible to escape surveillance. As for the reason for saying this, it exists alive in front of me and in the virtual network world of "Huangji".
The blue ocean is back. Under the guidance of the sky blue kitten, he returned to the calm and empty street of the virtual network world, which is always floating with thin white mist. What stood in front of him was originally the secret folder that saved his backup memory inside, but was shaped like a broken warehouse. But now... the warehouse is gone. Just less than half a minute ago, the sky of the virtual world staggered over a biplane propeller bomber from World War II. Then, it dropped a bomb in front of the blue ocean, completely blowing the entire warehouse into pieces. Then, as if nothing had happened, it left slowly. The only thing left was the ground was the tile.
Everything in the virtual network world is also composed of "0" and "1". So whether it is a bomber or a bomb, it is just a pile of data. Although the range of the blue ocean and the bomb explosion is close, the "virus bomb" of course cannot harm the blue ocean, and it just completely deletes the secret folder. But this matter itself is enough to explain a lot of things.
Looking at the ruins in front of him, the expression between the blue sea's eyebrows continued to change. From the initial excitement, to the subsequent calmness, to the vague fear in the end. Since the mastermind behind the scenes can drop virus bombs against the secret folder, it can definitely cause the same attack on the human virtual body. In this online world, the virtual body cannot give any power, but is connected to its own brain. Once attacked, it is very likely to directly harm the deep consciousness of the logger, and even directly cause physical damage, making the logger an idiot and a madman possible.
As for the loggers - for example, Blue Ocean itself - there is absolutely no way to fight back against such attacks, which is too dangerous. Therefore, although I feel unprecedentedly frustrated, now is not the time to worry about face issues. Acknowledging reality and completing the change of mentality does not require much time to waste. Not being upset about losing those backup memories forever, Blue Ocean just logs out of the virtual network as quickly as possible and returns to reality.
He took the identity badge as a login to the virtual network medium from his clothes. Lan Hai's expression remained unchanged, and he pushed the door straight out of the room, and then plunged into the practice room. He had already thought it very clearly. The reason why the mastermind behind did so many things was simply to prevent himself from touching the memories of the past. Since that was the case, Lan Hai simply gave up and no longer gave the mastermind behind him any chance.
No matter how strict the surveillance is or how powerful it is in the virtual network, everything must still be based on reality. As long as Blue Ocean has a powerful force that can be comparable to the giant shark king or the ferocious beast king in reality, even if the mastermind behind the scenes makes many small moves behind it, it will become meaningless in the end. In other words, whether you just want to survive or simply take revenge, what you must do first is not to explore the truth, but to ensure that after you get the truth, you have a powerful force that can be used to protect yourself and protect the truth from being tampered with.

There was no light. It was pitch black everywhere. Blue Ocean was naked, wearing only a pair of shorts, standing alone in this chaos without heaven and earth, south, north, north, and up, down, left and right. He was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. He wrists were each wearing a black bracelet. It was the latest type of magnetic field energy limiter. As long as it was locked by it, even a strong man with twenty-five million powers like the Giant Shark King or the Ferocious Beast King could not easily break free. As for Blue Ocean himself, at this moment, he was completely locked in all his superpowers, just an ordinary person.
After a long time, the slightly chaotic breathing finally re-adjusted to a uniform state. Lan Hai raised his right hand and pushed away the hair that was stuck to his forehead because of the sweat wet. He said in a deep voice: "Huang Ji is shocking, turn on the light." As soon as he finished speaking, a "bang" sound immediately sounded again. The bright, but not dazzling light lit up almost at the same time, completely eliminating the darkness in this space. It can be clearly seen under the light. A huge semicircular space connected by countless hexagonal lenses, was lying everywhere, shiny mechanical wreckage everywhere. All kinds of broken parts and pipelines were everywhere. If the place where animals were lying corpses could be called a cemetery, then this place where countless mechanical beasts were piled up is a mechanical cemetery.
There are a total of 100 mechanical beasts, and each one can also exert about 100,000 horses of power equivalent to "magnetic field rotation", which means that it has reached the minimum standard of being a king of heaven (the god of martial arts). However, Blue Ocean has the power of the twenty-one heaven. If the ability is fully opened, it will only take three hundred seconds to destroy all these mechanical beasts. However, if he wants to pass this test and trial, then he cannot do this. Not only can he urge the power of the magnetic field to the twenty-one heaven, but even the basic power of "current push" is not allowed to be used. He only relies on his own muscles, moves, and tactics to deal with these extremely powerful mechanical beasts. Moreover, before defeating all mechanical beasts, there is no so-called "intermission time". It must be completed in one go before it can be considered passing.
This is the highest difficulty training program designed by the strong men of the Blue Kingdom to train themselves: "Hundred Kings Group Hands". You should know that the magnetic field rotation is equivalent to a building. How high can be built depends entirely on whether the foundation is solid and firm. The so-called foundation refers to the body of the strong. In history, no strong man has a strong magnetic field force, but his body is weak. Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as he constantly tempers his body, he can get a higher room for improvement. However, even if the body needs to be tempered, there are many ways to use it. "Hundred Kings Group Hands" is definitely the one that is the most dangerous and the least willing to use.
After meeting with the Red Beast King in the Blue Kingdom Great Forest, my secret files were destroyed when I discovered that the "Huangji Shocking World" were being discovered, and a whole month had passed since I discovered that there was a mastermind behind me who was monitoring me at any time. Lan Hai never went out for a trip, and even met my aunt Lan Ji again. I bet all my time in the practice room and practiced desperately.
Chapter completed!
