Chapter Eighteen: The Eagle and the Dog Come to the Door
"The Road of Expectation"...?
Hearing this word, Xia Mu suddenly felt like he was in a trance.
He remembered that the last time he heard it was when he was fifteen years old in Alkaia and had just rescued Sohivia.
At that time, Sohivia also said the same word, and after that...it took her three years to completely liberate Alkaya and return the witch and slaves to freedom.
Indeed, that was what I expected at the time, but now...
What do you expect?
Xia Mu thought about it and clenched her fists unconsciously. In the past seven years, she seemed to...
Too much has changed.
If it were the current self, the miracle of liberating Alkaia in three years would probably be difficult to reproduce.
"Okay Sohivia, I know the general situation. If I guess correctly, the thing that erodes Alkaya should be the 'Dark Plasma Virus'."
No longer thinking about those things that existed or did not exist, Xiamu explained in detail the situation of this world, the lower world, digitization, the falling phenomenon and the dark matter virus. Only then did Sohivia understand.
"In short, I will find a way to return the pure crystal heart to Alkaia. Since I took the thing away, I will naturally take on this responsibility."
"No, sir, that's not what I meant..."
"Okay, no need to say more. Let's solve the problem of your identity first. You must know that you are wanted now."
Xia Mu directly interrupted Sohivia's words, as if she didn't want to continue listening.
Then, he began to explain to her the current situation, her new identity in the future, and...how to disguise the erosion of the "Dark Plasma Virus" as the "Dust Disease".
"dust disease"
It is a disease that only residents of Xiacheng District suffer from.
The source is caused by various garbage dumped from Shangcheng District to Xiacheng District, as well as pollutants discharged from steel factories that can be seen everywhere in Xiacheng District.
These hazardous wastes have been accumulated in Xiacheng District for a long time without being dealt with. Eventually, due to digitization, they turned into "dust viruses" and began to erode the data bodies of Xiacheng District residents.
Due to its complex structure and the highest level of "data virus", even if the federal medical research institute developed a treatment drug, its high price would not be affordable to the residents of Xiacheng District.
To sum up, once you are infected with "dust disease" in Xiacheng District, it is equivalent to suffering from a terminal illness, and your life will also enter a countdown.
All patients with the dust disease, without exception, will eventually cause the data body to collapse under the erosion of the virus and turn into dust and wasteland. This is the origin of the name "dust disease".
Speaking of which, except for the "distorted body", the erosion of the human body by "Dust Virus" and "Dark Plasma Virus" are actually similar.
Because of this, Xia Mu came up with the method of "disguising dust disease". Sohivia's body is still very weak, which can be used as a reasonable reason.
As for the remaining Dark Plasma Virus in her body, there is no need to worry. After being absorbed and transformed by the Pure Crystal Heart, the remaining viruses have been hidden.
Xia Mu has already tested this point with the dark matter virus detection device. Facts have proved that as long as she continues to purify Sohivia, the virus will not be exposed unless the other party forcibly takes her away for in-depth testing.
"By the way, wait a moment, your clothes are also a problem, they are too eye-catching."
After taking a look at Sohivia's gorgeous dress, Xia Muzhou frowned and then left the office.
He bought some dresses suitable for Sohivia at the second-hand store opposite, and he quickly returned and asked her to change into them.
When Sohivia changed, he nodded with satisfaction, feeling that there was no problem.
"Oh, one more thing. From today on, your name will be 'Xingye'. I will call you that from now on. You must remember it well and make sure you don't make any mistakes."
Although he knew that Sohivia's suffix was "Starry Night" and it was basically impossible for something to go wrong, Xiamu still gave a warning just to be on the safe side.
However, at this time, Sohivia's cheeks turned red all of a sudden, she glanced at Xia Mu imperceptibly, and then quickly looked away.
She told Xia Mu at the beginning that the suffix of the witch would only be given to people she trusts and is close to. This is true, but there is one thing Xia Mu doesn't know...
In today's Alkaia, only the witch's partner is qualified to call the witch by her suffix, and that can only be done after marriage.
"Um, Sir Natsuki..."
After a moment, Sohivia finally couldn't help but speak, wanting to remind Xia Mu.
But at this moment, the doorbell of the office suddenly rang, making Xia Mu frown.
"Shhh - it seems like people from the Federation are here. These guys...are they here so fast?"
Through the monitor on the star ring, he had confirmed the identity of the person coming at the door, and quickly reminded Sohivia to lie down and remember what he just told her.
"Please wait! Come right away!"
After shouting out the door, Xia Mu deliberately messed up his clothes, pretending to be in a hurry just after getting up.
Then, he hurriedly ran to the door to open the door, and immediately saw a tall man standing outside the door, wearing a guard uniform and a windbreaker outside, looking very cold and stern.
"Hello, Hazardous Disposal Bureau agent Narikari, you are Natsuki, the person in charge of this office, right?"
Yes, the person who came was none other than the [Federation Eagle]. After a night of dilly-dallying, the idiots in charge of the lower city finally handed him the information on the fallen in the lower city of Chongxing City.
There is no doubt that the man in yesterday's video must be a fallen person or a returner. As for his level... he should be the same S-level as himself if he can take away the disaster-level monster.
Of course, Chengkari knew very well that ordinary S-class people would not hang out in the lower city area, and these registered fallen and returnees were basically D-class and C-class.
But this also further illustrates the seriousness of the matter. An S-class who can single-handedly control and take away disaster-level ghost stories, and hides in the lower city area, it is difficult not to think of...
His purpose for doing this!
"Hello, it's me, please come in. Is it because of the wanted order last night?"
After looking at the ID shown by the other party, Xia Mu immediately smiled and said, "Ningkari"... This name was so familiar to him!
Good guy, an S-level guy just came to your door. This is really exciting...
Xia Mu thought, quietly using magic power to suppress her nervousness, and then turned around to lead the way for the other party.
However, he didn't know that at the moment he turned around, a bone-made one-hand sword quietly appeared in Chengkari's palm, with a frightening cold edge flashing on the blade.
The next second, the sword blade suddenly swung out, and the sharp edge struck Xia Mu's neck instantly, and only then did he feel the murderous intent.
Subconsciously, the middle finger of his right hand moved...
