After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Faced with the other party’s question, Shi An did not answer.

The thick blanket almost wrapped up the entire teenager, revealing only a furry head. The creamy white mist crept up and steamed his face a thin layer of red.

He tilted his head dully, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Shi Zechun suppressed his anger, barely managing to make an ugly smile, and said word by word: “Shi An, Chief Mu is talking to you, you didn’t hear?”

“…Ah?” Shi An had not yet returned to his senses. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Shi Zechun and let out a bewildered monotone.

Shi Zechun: “…”

This brat didn’t listen to him at all!!

Shi Zechun was so angry that his veins palpitated, but because Mu Heng was still there, he suppressed his anger.

Mu Heng obviously didn’t mind the other party’s absent-mindedness.

He lowered his eyes.

Under the silver-white eyelashes, the eyes that were like the steel-blue blade of a knife, reflecting the distant and lonely silver glow of the sky with a touch of deep inquiry, looked over.

After staring at Shi An for a few seconds, Mu Heng retracted his gaze and looked at Wen Yao.

“Has the test been done?” He asked unhurriedly.

“…This!” Wen Yao was stunned: “This, not-not yet.”

Some monsters can imitate the human appearance and voices or even parasitize the human body, so in theory, people who have had close contact with monsters should be tested to ensure safety. But this kind of monster is extremely rare, with almost no cases, so people have gradually ignored the existence of this monster.

“Do you want me to test it now?” Wen Yao got nervous and said, “The instruments should be here soon.”

Mu Heng: “No need.”

Saying that, he stepped forward and looked down at Shi An.

“Give me your hand.”

The bright shiny piece moved and said so.

So, Shi An dully stretched out his hand.

Mu Heng grabbed his slender wrist.

He wore pitch-black tactical gloves, cold leather with a rough texture that scraped against his skin with an oddly painful sensation.

Shi An was startled.

He retracted reflexively but was firmly stopped halfway.

Immediately afterward, a “click” sound was heard, and a small silver ring was put on his wrist.

Shi An came back to his senses.

He lowered his head, and his gaze fell over the ring.

The silver ring was placed on the delicate and smooth wrist, shining by the snow-white complexion.

The patterns on the silver ring were changing, and it looked beautiful under the light.

Shi An’s eyes lit up.

Soon, the patterns stopped changing, and the pattern stayed in a certain shape.

Mu Heng frowned. The pair of silver-blue eyes hidden under the long white eyelashes looked a little puzzled as his sight fixed on the surface of the silver bracelet.

Shi An also looked at the bracelet and blinked.

Hmm… I don’t understand.

The mood was stagnant and heavy, and the flow of time seemed to slow down.

Finally, Mu Hang lifted his eyes, took a deep look at Shi An, and said:

“That’ll do.”

He gently pressed on the surface of the silver bracelet, and with another “click”, the bracelet opened.

Wen Yao slowly relaxed and was secretly relieved.

——This was the first time she had seen Mu Heng use that bracelet, which seemed like a red flag, but luckily everything was normal.

Shi An followed the bracelet with his eyes and reluctantly said, “You’re taking it?”

Mu Heng stopped for a moment.

He looked at the bright look of disappointment on the face of the teenager in front of him and slowly asked, “Otherwise?”

Shi An said despondently, “Not giving me?”

“What are you talking about?” Shi Zechun’s face changed, and knives seemed to fly out of his eyes, but he was still forced to be patient and said through gritted teeth.

“This kind of detection bracelet is costly, and only a few high-ranking members of the Monster Management Bureau have it. How could it be given away casually?”

Shi An: “…Oh.”

He looked up at the man in front of him.

Mu Heng had been silent since just now and looked at him thoughtfully.

Silver-blue light settled in his eyes. In addition to the brilliant and pure magnificence, there was an icy and sharp cold version. Just now, the bright and shiny bracelet was in the other’s hand, and it actually lost a few points of color.

Shi An thought for a moment and asked, “What about you? Are you also expensive?”

Everyone gasped at his words.

Shi Zechun: “…”

F-ck.

His eyes closed, and he almost passed out on his back.

“Do you want to buy me?”

Mu Heng ignored the crowd and looked straight at the boy.

Standing at the side, Wen Yao’s expression was horrified and in a trance, she could hardly believe her ears.

Shi An: “Actually….”

Just the hair is fine——

Shi Zechun stepped forward angrily and explained to Mu Heng while a little flustered:

“This… this, don’t take it seriously, this child has just been out of danger, and he’s not thinking clearly…”

At this time, the old butler also calmed down from a state of extreme shock. His old face was pale, and he suddenly raised his hand to pull up the blanket and cover Shi An’s face.

Seeing darkness in front of him, Shi An: “…”

He looked blankly at the blanket in front of him and fell into deep confusion ——what was going on?

Shi Zechun squeezed a smile on his face:

“This… I’m sorry…”

At this point, an on-site inspection staff came running to report to Mu Heng, whispered a few words, and then handed over a file to him.

Mu Heng took the file and flipped through it twice.

He turned his head and looked deeply at the tightly wrapped young man. Then, he swept his eyes at Shi Zechun and faintly interrupted his incoherent speech.

“It’s okay.”

After saying that, he closed the file, turned around, and walked towards the banquet hall.

***

Along the way back, Shi An absentmindedly listened to the butler’s nagging and admonitions.

He had no idea where he was wrong.

Don’t all humans like money nowadays! Obviously, tens of thousands of years ago, they were still fascinated.

If not for the fact that Shi An has not yet recovered his body and strength, why would he need to buy? He would just grab it back!

After finally handling the other side, Shi An went back to his room.

The door to the room closed, shutting out the light from the hallway.

Next, Shi An took a deep breath, and then slowly took a few steps backward——

Sprint!

Crash!

He flung himself onto the bed and rolled in bliss.

The bed where the soft bedding should have been was piled high with shiny gold and silverware, both large and small, as well as ornaments that had been broken off hard from the walls or the furniture.

They were piled up on the bed and clashed with a tinkling sound.

Shi An narrowed his eyes contentedly and stuffed his body in.

These were collected little by little in this villa after he became a human being ‘Shi An’, and it took a long time to finally make a bed to sleep on.

Unfortunately, this human body is too spoiled and fragile. Shi An can not maintain releasing magic power all the time, so he often wakes up with red marks on his body.

Shi An buried himself in his pile of treasure and rolled around for a while before he finally remembered his purpose.

He sat up and took the monster bug out of his pocket.

Shi An poked the bug’s stomach.

One of its thin legs stirred, but it still maintained a supine posture, playing dead seriously.

A cluster of dragon flames rose up at Shi An’s fingertips.

“…!!!” The bug stopped pretending to be dead, and it jumped up and squealed.

Shi An smiled kindly and approached with his head down: “You’re awake?”

Monster bug: “…”

Ahhhhhhhh don’t you come over ah!!

***

The Monster Management Bureau was located in the center of the Shangcheng District, in a tall and solemn gray building.

As soon as Mu Heng walked into the building, he saw a researcher in a white coat running over pantingly:

“Chief Mu…”

Mu Heng twisted his head and looked over. His calm eyes reflected the panicked look of the other party, as if silently questioning.

The other party gasped: “Mr. Zhuo told me to call you over as soon as you return. He said that there is something very important…”

Mu Heng thoughtfully nodded his head, then turned and walked towards the research office.

Zhuo Fu was already waiting there.

He is the head of the research institute. He is responsible for studying the weaknesses of monsters, monitoring the movements of monsters and unusual magic fluctuations.

At the moment, his cynical face was tightly tensed, but his eyes were astonishingly bright.

“The analysis results of the magic power fluctuations detected some time ago have just come out.” Zhuo Fu took a deep breath and slowly said: “——it’s possible, it’s possible that it’s a fantasy species.”

Mu Heng was stunned.

Fantasy species, once the strongest from all of the monsters.

They were powerful and terrifying, had the wisdom and longevity to surpass humans, and once ruled the continent.

——and they have now disappeared for more than ten thousand years.

Although rumors of imminent fantasies have been heard from time to time, they are only rumors. No one has actually seen the fantasy species that exist only in legends.

And Zhuo Fu is a big fan of fantasy species research.

He suddenly came closer and said mysteriously, “It might be a dragon.”

Mu Heng suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.

The silver-blue eyes showed a steel-like gray, dark fire burning silently under the ice, revealing a strange concentration:

“Hm?”

Zhuo Fu shivered and raised his hands in surrender.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m just kidding la…”

“The data is only a possibility. Not to mention the ancient legendary fantasy species like dragons, maybe there is nothing at all. I just needed to inform you.”

Zhuo Fu winked at Mu Heng: “But it’s also okay if it really appears, after all, you are here.”

——Mu Heng, the most capable human being today and the youngest chief of the Monster Management Bureau. He’s also the only remaining noble dragon slayer bloodline.

Seeing the man’s expression sink in front of him, Zhuo Fu coughed dryly and forcibly changed the subject, trying to ease the atmosphere:

“By the way, that… I heard that you went to deal with the task at Shangcheng? How was it? Were there any casualties?”

Mu Heng gave him a deep look.

Before Zhuo Fu sweated on his forehead, he finally spoke compassionately: “No.”

“Where is the monster sample?” Zhuo Fu asked naturally: “Have you sent it to the laboratory?”

Mu Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils shone with a metallic steel blue as he said, “The monster escaped.”

Zhuo Fu was taken aback: “How can a monster escape from under your nose?”

Mu Heng lifted his eyes and looked over the other side, not bothering to talk.

Zhuo Fu cleared his throat and continued to ask: “Have the results of the residual magic test come out?”

Mu Heng: “Not yet.”

He paused and said, “However, I think it’s an abyssal species.”

Abyssal species?!

Zhuo Fu was taken aback.

He never thought of questioning Mu Heng’s judgment. This person has never made a mistake in magic detection so far.

Mu Heng narrowed his eyes, “The abyssal species have been appearing too often lately.”

He glanced at Zhuo Fu and tapped the table gently with his fingertips: “Put your delusion fantasy species aside first, the movement of the abyss is more urgent.”

Zhuo Fu muttered something like, “fantasy species are not a delusion” and reluctantly turned around and prepared to go into the research Mu Heng explained.

But before he could take a few steps out, he was stopped by Mu Heng:

“Wait.”

Zhuo Fu turned back suspiciously, “What?”

Mu Heng frowned slightly, and after a long time, he asked, “That portable human testing instrument that you designed, are you sure there is no problem with it?”

Zhuo Fu was greatly insulted and raised his brows: “What did you say? How is it possible! That is one of my best works! How could there be something wrong!”

Mu Heng nodded: “I see.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Zhuo Fu realized that something was wrong and shouted: “What’s wrong? What happened to you?”

Mu Heng didn’t answer and walked straight out.

His eyes were slightly downcast, and his long silver-white eyelashes imprinted a light shadow under his eyes, making him look more mysterious and unapproachable.

——It’s nothing.

It’s just… For the first time, his instincts seem to have gone awry.

***

The monster bug cowered in the corner and looked at the “human” in front of him in fear.

He looks like an ordinary human being with his limbs and head. The smell on his body is completely human, but…

Its gaze shifted to the flames at Shi An’s fingertips.

The red flame, burning silently in the dark, you could feel the terrible heat and burning sensation that emanates from it by just watching.

With just a glance, it couldn’t help but shake.

Even though it was very confident that its shell could withstand most of any human attack, the fear that comes up in its instinct was roaring——that it would be burned, absolutely burned to death!

However, this cluster of fire, which emits a dangerous aura, was being played with by this ordinary human teenager in front of him.

It was squashed and flattened at Shi An’s fingertips, gentle and tame as if it was just a glowing ball.

“You…what are you?” The monster bug curled up and asked tremblingly.

Shi An blinked.

It was at this moment that the wind was blowing, and the silver-white moonlight swept through the window, illuminating the room.

The light swept across the teenager’s face, falling into the scarlet vertical pupil. He looked cruel and strange. He raised his hand, his fingertips covered with a layer of hard and sharp scales, reflecting a cold metallic luster.

Shi An smiled and said, “Dragon.”

Monster bug: “…”

It stared dumbly at the human scarlet eyes and sharp black scales.

——Immediately after, its six legs stirred, and it fainted again.

The author has something to say:

Monster Bug: Help me.
