I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

"......that's it?"

"Yes, that's all."

"Huh~Qiu Sheng...I'd better call you A Xiao, after all, Ji Ning called you that early in the morning."

What Suzumiya Haruhi said was a bit acidic, but she didn't realize it.

"Well, Ah Xiao, let me ask this, are you really an old monster?"

"Old monster? My age is indeed not young, and I'm less than 60 years old, but I can't talk about an old monster."

"No, less than sixty... A Xiao, you are actually an old man!?"

Suzumiya Haruhi pointed directly at Nangong Xiao and exclaimed.

And You Ji Ning couldn't help covering his mouth and widening his eyes.

Nagato Yuki remained expressionless.

Nangong Xiao said flatly, "Compared to the long-lived species with a life span of tens of thousands of years and puberty of thousands of years, I am nothing at all."

"Longevity species, that's right. There are thousands of years old "little boys" and "little girls" in anime who are still underage. By the way, A Xiao, are you still underage?"

Well, this guy's eyes suddenly glowed.

"That disappoints you. Although I am also a non-human longevity species, the age and adult standards of ordinary people in my family are similar to human beings, but the puberty period is relatively long. According to conventional ratios, I am still in the mid-term. Of course, for practitioners who have reached a certain level of strength, as long as they think about it, the body and appearance of those hundreds of thousands of years, even until the moment of death."

"Oh, huh? Practitioners with a certain level of strength... A Xiao, you mean, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, they can live longer and keep their youth forever?!"

"Yes, so if you don't want to grow old in decades, please practice hard."

"call--"

After getting Nangong Xiao's clear answer, not to mention Haruhi Suzumiya couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the ripples in his heart were peaceful, even Ji Ning couldn't help but pursed his small mouth, his little face flushed a little .

No way, for human beings, lifespan and youth are the most attractive 'poisons', not one of them.

"By the way, don't look at Sakata Yinshi as a decadent uncle in his 30s or [-]s. That guy is actually much older than me, at least two hundred years old. After all, appearance can deceive people, but the soul cannot."

"?!!" X2

"Don't be surprised. In this world, there are many people like Sakata Gintoki who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years with their cultivation base. It's just because of certain needs that they all lurk, and ordinary people can't know it."

Suzumiya Haruhi suddenly said, "In order to fight against the alien race like the black-winged birdman? That's why you're lurking?"

Chapter 989

"It can be understood in this way. Also, if you describe those bird people like this, you will be beaten. It's better not to say that in public."

"Oh, I see—by the way, A Xiao, you said earlier that you are a 'non-human', that is, a foreign race?"

"What? Are you starting to be wary of me?" Nangong Xiao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Haruhi Suzumiya shook his head hastily, "That's not true, after all, A Xiao, you also said earlier that your position is biased towards the human race, well, I'm just curious about what race you are... Could it be A Xiao? Are you the kind of elf in novels and anime?"

As Haruhi Suzumiya said, he couldn't help but look into Nangong Xiao's ear.

There's no way, who made Nangong Xiao's appearance beautiful, and she had long hair that was soft and beautiful, which could make any woman envious and jealous.

"That's not true. Although my family has no pointed ears and normally has black hair and black eyes, the general appearance and characteristics of my family are similar to those of the elves in Western Fantasy. Well, let's get to know each other formally. I am a dragon race Nangong Xiao, hello."

"Uh...you, hello—wrong, Dragonoid? Lizard?"

"It's the dragon of the Celestial Dragon Totem."

"Oh...then can you transform like the white dragon in Spirited Away?"

Seeing Haruhi Suzumiya getting excited, she knew what she wanted to do, making Nangong Xiao want to roll her eyes.

"Whether you can or not, don't even think about me flying with you on your back. That's fine, I've basically said what I can say, and I won't say much about the rest of the details. That's it for tonight. Go back and rest. .”

"All right..."

Although a little regretful, but Nangong Xiao said so, Suzumiya Haruhi had no choice but to give up.

Afterwards, Haruhi Suzumiya and Yuki Nagato, who lived nearby, left separately.

Nagato Yuki disappeared directly, while Haruhi Suzumiya wore the individual power mecha, activated the optical camouflage, and went home slowly.

After only Nangong Xiao and You Ji Ning were left on the roof, Nangong Xiao asked softly, "Why, what do you want to tell me alone?"

"Ah."

After answering, You Ji Ning undressed his mecha and came to Nangong Xiao, looking up at Nangong Xiao.

But when the words came to her lips, she suddenly didn't know what to say, so she seemed a little entangled, even twitching.

Nangong Xiao said jokingly, "Looking at you, it looks like you are going to confess."

"...If it was a confession, maybe I wouldn't be so entangled."

Although the little girl's cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her eyelids, revealing a hint of sadness in her expression.

Seeing this, Nangong Xiao also let go of her embracing hands, and said straightly, "Tell me, as long as I can help, I will not refuse."

From the very beginning, Nangong Xiao felt somewhat ashamed towards You Ji Ning.

After all, he did use You Ji Ning.

If Ji Ning was a heinous gangster, Nangong Xiao would not have any psychological pressure.

But this is just a pure and kind little girl. Although Nangong Xiao doesn't blame herself so much, she can't ignore it.

As the old saying goes, a person lives his whole life, but he must have a clear conscience.

The word 'begging' is not a joke.

"No, I didn't want you to express your opinion, A Xiao." You Ji Ning shook her head quickly, she was afraid of being misunderstood.

"I know that, you were never that kind of person."

"That's good..."

After the little girl smiled slightly, she seemed to have made up her mind.

"Ah Xiao...is there a soul in this world?"

"...You, want to see your brother?"

Nangong Xiao finally realized.

"Um..."

And You Ji Ning looked at Nangong Xiao with some hope.

Unfortunately, Nangong Xiao shook his head.

"Souls do exist in this world, but according to my recent observations, I found that the rule of this world is that after death, except for special circumstances, souls usually completely dissipate within a few minutes to a few days. I can assert that , your brother is not in special circumstances."

"..."

You Ji Ning stared blankly at Nangong Xiao.

Perhaps the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She was stunned for a while, and tears rolled down unconsciously.

Nangong Xiao opened his mouth, and finally just took out a handkerchief and handed it over, and said, "The deceased is gone, please mourn."

"...Ah...um..."

Only then did he come to his senses, and after You Ji Ning took the handkerchief, he lowered his head and wiped it. However, the more tears he wiped away.

In the end, as if the little girl lost control of her emotions, she began to cry in a low voice.

Seeing Ji Ning like this, Nangong Xiao thought about it, and roughly understood it.

Probably because You Ji Ning has been suppressing his emotions ever since his brother passed away unexpectedly.

'Strong', in fact, is not necessarily a good thing in a specific situation.

People, after all, need to vent their emotions, otherwise excessive depression may eventually lead to a mental breakdown.

But now, after You Ji Ning has a certain understanding of the mysterious side, a glimmer of hope has sprouted.

However, of course, after Nangong Xiao asserted, it was equivalent to destroying all her hopes at once.

It was because of this sense of gap that her emotions were completely out of control.

When she realized it, Nangong Xiao stretched out her hand to hold her in her arms, stroking her back.

"Don't be patient anymore, with me here, you don't need to pretend to be strong."

"...Wow--"

Perhaps it was the reassuring breath, or subconsciously regarded Nangong Xiao as someone to rely on. After hearing this, You Ji Ning completely lost control and burst into tears...

......

In Bianliang, Song Dynasty, in a special side hall of the Zongzheng Mansion.

After Zhao Hao returned to the Zongzheng Mansion with the expensive long-distance teleportation talisman, he hurriedly went to the current Zongzheng Zhao Shuhua and Hong Rixin, the current head of the Tianji Pavilion (the Superman Management Office of the Song Dynasty), and reported the matter to them.

After the two bigwigs of the Song Dynasty figured out the cause of the incident and saw the prototype of the individual power mecha in the secret room, Zongzheng Zhao Shuhua directly contacted the palace without saying a word, and asked the emperor to come in person.

Tianji Pavilion Hong Rixin also urgently invited more than a dozen masters or professionals related to refining equipment, talismans, formations, modern technology, electronic information, etc. This is to conduct an all-round analysis of individual power mechs .

After Emperor Song came in person, those masters fiddled with it for several hours, and when it was almost dawn, those masters gave up with a puzzled look on their faces.

One of the refining masters was even more discouraged and said, "No wonder he dared to let Boy Hao bring the prototype back. It's really hard for us to understand this thing. It's a long experience."

A white-haired old man nodded agreeingly, "Yes, and it is a system that I have never seen before. Whether it is technology or mystery, I have never seen it before. It doesn't seem like our world."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses said, "However, the other party should be from the Song Dynasty system, or from the Huaxia cultural system. The operating system of this set of mechas is not only in pure Chinese, but some logos or signs use It is also a variant of Chinese characters, or even a variant of Xiaozhuan—of course, it is also possible that this is a 'special offer', but no matter what, the other party must have a deep understanding of Chinese culture."

"I can see this too, boy Hao, how much do you know about that guy?" Another burly man in a white coat nodded and looked at Zhao Hao who was acting as the background person.

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "The identities of those who are known can be found to be fake, so, apart from the strength of the other party, I don't know anything about it here."

"Is that so..."

At this time, another old man holding the power furnace module of the mecha and looking at it also said, "It's so strange... Who did this come from? It's just that there is something wrong with the brain. The coexistence of a set of power systems is simply a waste of precious space for such a high-quality vehicle—but, I have to say, one of them should be a miniature controllable nuclear fusion power furnace... Huh~ This is something that even Song Kingdom can't Super technology for miniaturization and mass production..."

"Don't move! It must be an anti-cracking rune or a magic circle! And this is a derivative of nuclear fusion, and it is extremely concentrated at a glance. Don't accidentally blow up the Bianliang!"

Well, another old man with a white beard yelled like this, but Emperor Song, Zhao Hao, Zhao Shuhua and others couldn't help but take a step back in unison.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, how could I mess around."

"Hmph, the fact that you send your research institute to the sky three or five times a month has long been known to passers-by. You think I'm stupid!"

"calm down--"

"Calm down..."

"cough."

At this time, Emperor Song gave a dry cough, and asked all the 'big guys' present to look over.

"Masters, do you have any conclusions?"

Emperor Song asked very politely.

There is no way, the youngest of the 'big brothers' or 'giants' present are nearly [-] years old, and the older ones are the 'ancestors' who followed Emperor Wu's reforms and learned about things during the Xuanhe period.

In the face of this kind of existence, Emperor Song, who had just ascended the throne for a few years, was really a 'brother in the younger brother'.

Of course, these 'big guys' didn't take advantage of the new emperor because of this, after all, it was meaningless.

After the 'giants' exchanged glances, a white-haired old man with the highest seniority spoke.

The old man said bluntly, "Reporting to the emperor, the ministers and others assert that even if there are decades of intensive research, the ministers and others are not sure that they can understand it thoroughly, let alone just a few hours of rough observation now."

Emperor Song nodded clearly, "Since this is the case, do you think you should trade with that person?"

The old man nodded, "According to Boy Hao, that person's stance is biased towards the human race, and he intends to befriend us Song, so he can indeed trade. Even if he trades with us on the terms of treating fallen angels, our advantages outweigh our disadvantages."

Emperor Song frowned, "Oh? Why?"

The old man said with a smile, "Because we affirm that these two sets of mechas are the technical essence of one side's power, or even one's civilization. If we can understand it thoroughly, it will definitely be no less than the Song Dynasty and our human race." The benefits of Xuanhe Reform' are great."

"Hiss—" Emperor Song couldn't help but gasped.

The so-called "Xuanhe reform" was an epic reform after Emperor Wu obtained the "Apocalypse", which can be called "re-creating the universe".

Moreover, it can also be said that because of this reform, the state of Song has been strong for more than a thousand years.

"Dijun." The old man said again, "Although that person doesn't know which side he represents, he can be sure that he must not be a member of those sub-plane alien races. After all, we know the details of those dogs too well, and it is impossible to figure them out out of thin air. Such a system. Thinking about it, the other party may be an unknown force from another dimension, or it may come from outside the solar system, but no matter what, this is an opportunity for our Great Song to go further, please be careful."
