Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 214 Prototype
Obviously, this method cannot be applied to Kuroxue.
The prerequisites are too difficult.
Xu Shen couldn't beat Hei Xue.
As for letting her starve...then he would be the one who might become food.
Ding ding ding!
When Xu Shen was sighing inwardly that his efforts were in vain, one of the cages began to shake violently. Zhu Jiazhen immediately asked the deputy director to go and deal with it. Xu inside was struggling violently.
This is a woman who looks like a pregnant woman, with a big belly and her body covered with straw-like flesh, like a coat. She has a ferocious expression and makes a roaring sound.
"Let my child eat, let my child eat..." Xu growled. It was clearly a plea, but his eyes were particularly fierce.
The young deputy manager was used to this and he waved his hand, and the employees left immediately.
Not long after, the employees brought back two ignorant young men.
They all looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, and their bodies had developed to their most youthful stage.
After the age of 20, physical development will gradually slow down, become extremely slow, and finally stop.
Therefore, the average age of human cannibalism is around 18 to 20 years old.
Their hands were tied with a guide rope. The two followed the guide rope and slowly came to the beast cage. They looked terrified. Although they couldn't see, they felt extremely uneasy.
On the other side, the deputy young man pulled out a long knife and hit the cage with the back of the knife three times.
The pregnant woman inside retreated in panic as if threatened, but her eyes revealed desire and hungry greed.
Then the deputy young manager ordered the employee next to him to untie the chains, while he focused his attention on Xu to avoid a sudden attack from the latter the moment the cage was opened.
There were no accidents during this process. When the cage was opened, the deputy young supervisor immediately pulled the chain next to it and tried to push the young man into the cage by his back.
Xu Shen understood that this was feeding.
"Wait." Xu Shen spoke in time.
The deputy young man stopped immediately and quickly pulled up the cage, then turned to look at Xu Shen: "Commander-in-chief?"
With a bang, the moment he turned his head, the pregnant woman inside suddenly hit the cage, roared, looked at him viciously, and reached out to grab.
Xu Shen came to the cage and looked at the pregnant fish. He suddenly wanted to use this low-level fish to try other taming methods.
"When you knocked three times before, it retreated on its own accord. Is this your signal for dinner?" Xu Shen asked.
Although it was just a simple inquiry, the deputy director still acted very timid: "Yes, Commander, we will knock them back so that we can send the food in, otherwise they will rush out and it will be more laborious to arrest and kill them."
"But the new one is not so obedient. This is just a Xu that has been domesticated. It is just being raised and can be deployed at any time." Zhu Jiazhen came over and said respectfully.
Xu Shen nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with the answer. It proved that the training was effective. At least after long-term training, Xu Shen could understand the signal of "it's time to eat".
It's like a switch.
If enough switches can be implanted in the Xu's brain, then by turning on these switches, these Xu can be trained, or even... commanded!
But eating is just the simplest signal switch. Even cats and dogs can be trained. Just knock on the iron basin and they will know it’s time to eat.
"Let me try."
Xu Shen waved his hand and asked them to disperse slightly.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately stepped aside. Xu Shen was in two states, and these ruins posed no threat to him at all, so they were not worried at all.
Looking at the pregnant woman with a hideous face, Xu Shen opened the cage.
The pregnant woman seemed to realize that Xu Shen was not someone she could afford to offend, so she rushed out of the cage and pounced on the young man next to her.
Xu Shen kicked him immediately.
Kick this place in the stomach.
The coat of flesh and blood on the outside of its belly split open, revealing a bulging belly. Drooping down the edge of the belly was a strange zipper-like mouth.
The monster's mouth split open in pain, revealing a bloody tumor in its mouth.
Obviously this is the "child" it is talking about.
Xu was kicked back into the cage, holding his stomach in pain, but soon got up and pounced out ferociously.
Xu Shen kicked out again.
The more pain stimulated Xu, the more ferocious he became.
Xu Shen, however, had a calm expression and just repeated the same action. The moment Xu rushed out of the cage, he kicked him back.
Once, twice...16 times in a row.
It seemed that she was exhausted, or maybe she was afraid. When the pregnant woman got up again, she looked at Xu Shen timidly, not daring to get close. She forced a pitiful expression on her face and begged, "Please let my child eat. It's almost starving to death..."
"That's your child, not mine." Xu Shen said calmly, "If you want to eat, you have to be obedient."
"Let my child eat, it's starving to death..." Xu still looked pitiful, repeating the words and walking towards the cage.
Xu Shen watched quietly.
The moment he walked out of the cage, Xu suddenly showed a ferocious expression and pounced towards Xu Shen.
Xu Shen kicked out instantly and kicked it back again.
Xu lay on the ground for a long time before getting up. He looked at Xu Shen in a state of collapse and let out a sharp roar: "Let my child eat!!"
Xu Shen pulled the young man with a guide rope next to him to his side.
The young man also came to him following the chains.
Xu Shen took a look and saw a huge tumor on the young man's head. It was the size of a fist, gray-brown in color, and had hair. The tumor was pressing on the area around the eyeballs and twisting the bridge of his nose. His mouth was crooked , as if he was mentally retarded. Xu Shen pulled the chain before taking a step.
Stand still without pulling the chain.
"Want to eat?"
Xu Shen looked at Xu in the cage.
Xu suddenly rushed over with a roar.
Xu Shen kicked it back again.
After several times, Xu finally learned to be afraid and shrank into the cage.
Xu Shen raised his finger and pointed at the border of the cage in front of him.
But the cicada shook its head and refused to move forward.
Xu Shen thought about it, handed the young man's guide rope to the deputy supervisor next to him, and then took two steps back.
Seeing Xu Shen retreat, Na Xu could no longer bear it and rushed over again.
"Stop." Xu Shen said.
The deputy young manager stopped where he was at the same time as Xu and looked at Xu Shen nervously.
"Even Xu knows fear. As long as you know fear, you can use fear... If you can use fear, you can train and control it!" Xu Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly felt that he had mastered a new skill.
Maybe it can't be called a skill, or it's useless in battle, but it gave him a new understanding of "strength".
Fear is weakness.
Fear is emotion.
Emotions...are weaknesses.
The king is ruthless. Does this mean that the king has no weaknesses in this area?
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, but he believed that the king also had fear.
Perhaps, the king just abandoned some of his emotions, or rather, feelings.
But a part is still retained, and this part will become a weakness.
The reason why Kuroyuki is obedient temporarily is because she is intimidated by Maeve, and it is fear makes her surrender.
After finishing his thoughts, Xu Shen saw Xu drooling beside the cage, and the strange mouth under his belly was slightly cracked, drooling wildly, and it was obvious that he was reaching the limit of his endurance.
The young deputy director also had cold sweat on his forehead. He was driven mad by Xu Shen's beating. If he vented his anger on him, he would probably have difficulty in resisting.
Xu Shen smiled slightly, walked forward and slowly lifted up the hair on the pregnant woman's forehead that was scattered like dead branches. The hair seemed to be knotted with vines, and Xu Shen pushed it aside, revealing a delicate face with freckles.
During the whole process, the pregnant woman did not resist except for slightly baring her teeth.
This scene made the people nearby tremble with fear, fearing that the beast would suddenly attack.
"Remember to add some rules for them next time." Xu Shen turned and said to Zhu Jiazhen beside him.
Seeing him turn his head, the pregnant woman seemed unable to suppress her bloodthirsty desire and bit towards Xu Shen.
But Xu Shen's palms seemed to have eyes. He held down her head and his fingers were like iron hoops on her temples, causing Xu to scream.
If you use any more force, the skull will be crushed... Xu Shen stopped, but did not look at this Xu. He still looked at Zhu Jiazhen next to him, waiting for his answer.
Zhu Jiazhen stared at this scene in a daze, then came to his senses and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, do everything according to the commander's orders."
"Then do you know how to do it?" Xu Shen asked.
He stood still and talked to Zhu Jiazhen, without looking at the pregnant woman Xu, but this time the pregnant woman Xu covered her head and did not dare to continue attacking Xu Shen. The previous kicks and repeated injuries made her realize the existence in front of her and caused her a deeper fear.
"This..." Zhu Jiazhen was stunned by Xu Shen's question, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "Please give me some guidance, Commander."
Xu Shen looked indifferent and said, "Don't blindly follow my orders from now on. You must implement and do everything I say and everything I tell you to do. Don't just go through the motions."
Zhu Jiazhen felt sweat on his back. He did not dare to underestimate Xu Shen because of his age, and said quickly: "I know I was wrong. Please punish me."
Xu Shen ignored him and looked around the cages in front of him. He said, "In the future, the xu sent here will be divided into two categories. The first category is the xu that need to be released again. You can use this type of xu as trial subjects to train and improve your taming skills. It's okay even if you beat them up and cripple them."
"But for the second type of ruins, I need them intact."
Xu Shen looked at Zhu Jiazhen and said, "For this second type of Xu, I need them to know what to eat and what not to eat. I want them to understand what I say and be able to do simple things. Do you understand?"
Zhu Jiazhen was stunned and said in astonishment: "Commander, Commander, this, this kind of thing is probably difficult to do..."
"Um?"
Xu Shen looked at him.
Zhu Jiazhen felt like a thorn in his side, but he didn't dare to take on this kind of thing, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Commander Cheng has tried to tame these Xu before, asking them to do simple things, but the bloodthirstiness and madness in these Xu's bones, as well as their illogical thoughts, can easily make the trainer exhausted."
"Can't do it, or can't do it?" Xu Shen stared at him.
Zhu Jiazhen opened his mouth slightly and lowered his head, neither answering nor daring to say no.
Big Lily stood up and scolded: "The task assigned by the commander is for you to complete, not for you to question. The only thing you need to think about is how to complete the task. If there are difficulties, solve them. Zhu Jiazhen, can you do it? If not, there are many people who want to be the supervisor!"
Zhu Jiazhen looked unhappy and said, "I...I can."
Xu Shen glanced at him and thought that in the future he would have to leave this kind of thing to someone he trusted.
But, when I think about it, there aren't many people I can trust.
Although Big Lily is good, she is not suitable to be locked up here to do this kind of thing. Normally, I have to rely on her to contact and get things done when I need something.
Or there are not enough confidants... Xu Shen sighed inwardly. There are not many people around him who he can trust and feel at ease with, and who have certain abilities to get things done. There may even be very few.
"Let's leave it this way for now." Xu Shen waved his hand, feeling that he needed to arrange this matter carefully himself.
Zhu Jiazhen asked quickly: "Commander, which ruins are classified as the second category and which ruins are classified as the first category?"
"Those you find interesting can be classified into the second category," Xu Shen said.
Zhu Jiazhen was stunned.
Xu Shen didn't stay any longer and left with Da Lili.
Zhu Jiazhen and others hurriedly accompanied him to the door.
After getting in the car, Xu Shen called Da Lili over and asked, "How many factories like this do we have in our association?"
"Four." Big Lily said respectfully, bending down, her graceful figure showing through the car window.
Xu Shen looked straight ahead and said calmly, "The other factories will remain as they are for now. Also, help me find out if there are any talents who are good at training. Or, hold some kind of exchange meeting and let them recommend themselves or compete. In short, help me find the talent I need as soon as possible."
Big Lily was stunned, then nodded immediately: "I understand."
Xu Shen rolled down the window, the exhaust lifted up Big Lily's skirt, and the car drove away.
In the dark night, Big Lily tucked the messy hair behind her ears and watched Xu Shen's taillights leave before she looked away. There was some distress in her eyes, but she could only turn around and go back to the car.
She vaguely guessed that Xu Shen wanted to cultivate Xu for combat use.
But Xu Shen is not the first one to have such motive. Other forces also have such ideas, but it is extremely difficult to actually do it. To this day, no one has been seen who can coexist peacefully with Xu. Even if there are, they are extremely rare cases and cannot be expanded on a large scale.
The most famous example of this kind is the queen ant that Lily knows.
Her mount was a fox.
On the way back from the factory, Xu Shen had a small harvest and picked up two snacks, which made him quite happy. It was still easier to make money by himself. After all, they were just snacks for Hei Xue, so he didn't care too much about it.
When we got back to our residence, it was already late at night.
Xu Shen saw Hei Xue waiting behind the door, pacing back and forth, climbing onto the ceiling from time to time, obviously enduring it.
Xu Shen parked the car, took out the snacks he had dragged into the market, and brought them upstairs.
Seeing Xu Shen, Heixue was extremely happy and was about to pounce on him from the ceiling.
Xu Shen quickly dodged, coughed lightly, and said, "Don't let my sister see it."
When "sister" was mentioned, Hei Xue immediately became much more obedient. The resentment that she had when she stood up from the ground quickly disappeared. She came to Xu Shen obediently and asked, "Is this food for sister?"
"This is for you. My sister doesn't like this."
Xu Shen said: "But this is tomorrow's breakfast, you can't eat it now."
Kuroyuki covered her mouth and said, "But what if I want to eat now?"
"Then think about it." Xu Shen said seriously: "You have to wait until tomorrow morning, understand?"
Kuroxue looked at the two preys with greedy eyes, but finally looked away and nodded, "Then I'll put them away first."
After saying this, the hair extended like tentacles, wrapped around the two prey, and hung them from the ceiling like a cocoon.
Seeing this, Xu Shen had no choice but to let her go and lie down on the bed on the other side to rest.
After a busy night, he also needs to replenish his energy.
Although he could go without sleep for three days and three nights with his current physical condition, he never knew when an emergency mission would come or when he would be attacked by a beast, so he had to stay in the best possible condition at all times.
A few days passed.
Xu Shen and Kuroyuki get along relatively peacefully. Although Maeve did not appear again to warn, Xu Shen slowly established the authority of "brother" in Kuroyuki's heart. Occasionally he would give some instructions that went against Kuroyuki's ideas, but not so excessive. He was slowly eroding Kuroyuki's habits while building his own authority.
However, Xu Shen knew that this process could not be rushed or excessive, and she had to accept it willingly, otherwise she would easily be suppressed and then retaliate.
For his usual meals, Xu Shen would not only have the Chasing Light Club deliver meals, but he would also go out hunting at night.
Ordinary low-level Xu beasts are no different from babies to Xu Shen. Using the information from the Xu Secret Bureau, Xu Shen can easily find some Xu beasts that are committing crimes.
There are also some areas of "suspected market activities".
This kind of place was only marked by the Xumi Bureau, and there were not enough intelligence personnel to explore it in time, so Xu Shen could go and "pick" it in advance.
Some places are a waste of time, but some are full of real gains.
For Xu Shen, it is the best of both worlds as he can eliminate harm for the people and take care of Hei Xue at the same time.
"Commander, I have found the person who can raise the beasts you need. Would you like to meet him?" A message came from Big Lily, reporting the situation.
"OK."
