No.304 A white raven doesn't need a believer
After another wave of shaking, the man with the naughty thunder bomb mask grinned at the camera and threw the remote control in his hand.
"Well, there's still five minutes left for the final fireworks to go off. You can't wait, can you?" he said, slowly pacing away from the camera and walking to the window, looking out at the deep night.
Another five minutes. In another five minutes, the stadium named after quartz will disappear into flames. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but hug his head, and the face behind the mask was distorted by extreme joy and piety.
I can bring fear, I can bring destruction, that's my true strength. I'm not a weak crumb.
Do you see it, O crow?
After he forcibly took over the live broadcast line of the player village, the video had already been transmitted to Tiannan and Haibei along the Internet. All major social platforms are in chaos, and countless people are staring at the masked freak on their phone or computer screen, worried about the fate of the quartz stadium in five minutes.
At this moment, the sound of a doorknob turning came from the live video. The masked freak in front of the camera turned back sharply, his hand had subconsciously reached his waist, and stopped halfway through.
Everyone was expecting the professional trainers from the four major departments to break through the door, but the next second they were disappointed - walking into the camera was an adult man also wearing a black suit and sunglasses, placing the red wine in his hand on the table, and bowing respectfully to the person sitting in the seat.
Seeing that the person who came was his subordinate, the masked stranger waved his hand casually, signaling him to retreat. And the eyes of countless people watching the live broadcast widened - they saw that the subordinate standing behind the masked monster suddenly reached out and strangled his neck!
The masked freak reacted extremely quickly, pulled out his gun, and pulled the trigger without looking back, without any regard for the other party's supposed to be his own. However, the subordinate who was hit by the bullet did not shed a drop of blood, and his body "flowed" strangely, gradually turning into a pink gelatinous mass, which stuck to the hands of the masked monster.
At the same time, the door was slammed open. Beams of dazzling energy bloom in front of the camera, tearing through the dark night.
After locking down the location of the prisoners, Kyoji quickly arranged the corresponding tasks for everyone.
The masked freak and his men, a dozen of them, were all gathered on the top floor of the office building. The building appears to have just been built, with the top floor temporarily unoccupied, and now completely a stronghold for the demolitionists. The masked monster's men patrol around the top floor with their own Pokémon, and the deployment seems to be tight, but the metal monsters don't find any detective Pokémon like Cutty Dog or Supersonic Bat, and they don't have infrared thermal imaging cameras for detection - it's enough to see that they are probably just a rabble, not a crime expert like Team Rocket.
The assault team relied on the illusion of Xiao Ling's Zoroa to infiltrate the building. Zoroa's illusion of light and shadow can fool even surveillance cameras, let alone the naked eye. As long as their figures are erased by illusion, no matter how tight the patrol team is, it is meaningless.
Once on the top floor, they quickly put down a patrolman and transformed from the Changeling Monster into his form and entered the masked monster's room. When the Changeling Monster sticks to the masked monster's hands, preventing him from pressing the remote control, and the two shock beasts acting as bodyguards are about to burst into action, the assault team rushes into the room.
The room was not suitable for large-scale combat, so only the three people who were the best at precision strikes participated in the assault, the magic leaves of the forest lizards, flew out first, scattering like a rain of flowers, leaving countless small scars on the body of the electric shock demonic beast. The two faithful bodyguards did not immediately attack the attacker, but still ran in the direction of their master, trying to tear the monster apart. But before they could take a step, they felt a stumbling under their feet and fell to the ground involuntarily.
Xiao Jie's Gotha Duck's eyes were shining with a bright blue light, and all his spiritual power was concentrated on the feet of the two electric shock beasts, and the strong oppressive force made their soles unable to leave the ground at all. And before the electric shock beast could discharge in anger, a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
It appeared with a whirlwind, its figure too fast to be caught by the naked eye, and countless cotton balls were sprinkled at the same time as the crisp laughter. Its move was too fast, and the electric shock monsters were dazzled by the sudden rain of cotton balls, and the next moment, the solid plant vines were already entangled in them.
The electric shock beast whose physical strength was continuously sucked away struggled desperately, but it could not escape from the double shackles of parasitic seeds and telekinesis. The giggling wind fairy turned around and flew back, stopping leisurely above Kyoji's head.
The masked monster spat out a series of indistinct curses in frustration, and finally tore the slimy changeling monster off and slammed it to the ground. He reached for the remote control that had fallen on the table, ignoring even the magic leaf flying towards him.
Perhaps he had already thought of detonating the bomb even if he died, but the next second of sharp pain interrupted all his thoughts. The masked freak in the shot suddenly had his feet off the ground and flew straight upwards — no, he was kicked out.
The masked monster wasn't the physically strong type, and he almost vomited out all three souls with this kick. And the girl's actions in the black trench coat were far from that, as Saya twisted the masked stranger's hands behind her back and slammed them against the table. The masked freak couldn't move, his bones creaking from his shoulders all the way to his wrists, and he couldn't help but let out a heart-rending scream, which was like a ghost's howl after being processed by the voice changer, which was chilling.
However, people watching the live broadcast didn't bother to cover their ears at all. People across the country who were following the events jumped for ecstasy at the same moment.
It's a rescuer! Finally a rescuer has come to stop this madman!
The faithful camera recorded the masked monster's declaration of a terrorist attack, and of course it was equally recorded as his face was pressed against the table until it was deformed. As followers of another blast in the capital cheered around the world at the same time, his men finally spotted the anomaly.
"Oh no, someone has invaded!" The subordinates who hurriedly turned on their mobile phones and glanced at the live broadcast were shocked, "Go and rescue the leader!"
After the first person to notice the anomaly yelled a few times on the empty top floor, all the patrolmen were informed of the terrible news. This group of guys, who did not have enough criminal experience and actual combat experience, immediately panicked, and immediately threw aside the work that the leader had ordered them to do, and rushed to the room where the leader was.
The masked freak chose the largest conference room on the top floor. As his men rushed into the hall to break into the conference room, two men stood in front of them.
"Little hairy boy, get out of here, be careful that we beat you up!" saw that there were only two very young children who stopped in front of the door, and the person who ran at the front shouted loudly.
The young trainer who stood in front of him did not back down in the slightest. They threw the Poké Balls in silence, and as the white light lit up, a sky of sand and dust filled the entire hall.
The lobby on the top floor was designed to host exhibitions and various battles. Both the floors and walls are made of sturdy building materials, and the ceilings are high enough to allow any Pokémon of the size to fight, which is one of the reasons why the two of them were placed here to build their defenses.
When the dust was raised, Xiao Tian tilted his head slightly and looked at the huge figure beside him. His Shakirath was also looking at Saki Aki's ace Pokémon fixedly, and there seemed to be a light mixed with fascination flickering in his eyes.
"It's coming!" the noisy footsteps made Saki Akita tense and reminded softly.
Xiao Tian nodded. The number of Pokémon rushing in against the wind and sand was huge, like a menacing beast tide, but this did not shake the determination and confidence of the silver-haired boy to guard this line of defense.
"Shakiras, primordial power. ”
"Bankiras, Sharp Rock Attack!"
The two sandstorm elves roared and fearlessly met the oncoming enemy.
A continuous muffled noise and a slight tremor came from outside the conference room. The assault team inside the house knew that it must be Xiao Tian and Shahi, who were guarding outside, who were fighting with the mask monster's men.
But they didn't have the time to worry about the situation outside at this time. The two electric shock beasts of the masked monster were not easy to deal with, and except for the initial surprise of them, the situation of the subsequent battle was almost always equal. Their electric shocks are so powerful that they can directly scorch the vines that parasitize their seeds, and the Gotha ducks of the water system have to retreat again and again.
While the two sides were fighting, the masked freak, who was pressed to the table by Xiao Ye and couldn't move, suddenly shouted something in a hoarse voice. The electric shock beast that received the instruction kicked the wall violently, and the button hidden under the wallpaper was pressed, and several Poké Balls suddenly rolled out of it, opening automatically with a thud.
After seeing the appearance of the Pokémon that appeared in the light, Sayra's heart was alarmed. She didn't even bother to keep an eye on the main culprit, kicked him into the corner, then grabbed the remote control on the table with one hand, scooped up the limp monster that was lying on the ground with the other, and retreated to the door like lightning.
Then, a violent explosion swept through the conference room. White ash dust and wood chips were falling in a flurry of dust, and the ground shook to make it seem suspicious that the bomb had been loaded on the building, not the quartz stadium. The little minions outside the conference room were frightened, and the already inadequately qualified conductor directly turned into nonsense, and was immediately trampled by several people who seized the opportunity.
After a few moments, the sound of the explosion finally subsided. The cotton wall pieces that were open to the extreme were shattered, and the wind fairy was so tired that the cotton was not white, and immediately got into Kyoji's arms and refused to come out again.
However, the Wind Elf's cotton defense was really effective, successfully blocking all the blast waves without injuring the three people behind it. The apprehensive trainers looked at the conference room, and not only the furniture, carpets, and wallpaper were all destroyed, but even the sturdy tempered glass windows were shattered, and the cold wind poured into the conference room through the holes, blowing cotton crumbs everywhere. And the initiator of the explosion, a couple of naughty thunderbolts, was already unconscious.
After a glance, Xiao Ye's brows tightened.
"The man is gone. ”
"Did you escape through the back door?" Kyoji said in a deep voice, "We'll ...... immediately"
Before he could finish speaking, a creaking sound from outside the window interrupted Kyoji's words. The three of them hurriedly ran to the window, and saw the huge billboard hanging outside the wall and began to slide down overwhelmingly.
Due to the opening of the Quartz League, billboards and banners were hung outside all the high-rise buildings near the quartz stadium. The explosion just now unfortunately destroyed one of the fulcrums of the billboard, and the huge LED screen, which was several stories high, slowly tilted and finally fell from the tall building with a crisp sound of breaking.
Below, Xiao Ling, who was in charge of keeping a sentry at the door on the other side of the building, immediately discovered the situation. At a glance, she saw a few hurried passers-by next to the building, and the huge billboard above their heads had fallen unstoppably, and it was about to shatter to the ground.
In an instant, Xiao Ling's heart almost rose to her throat. The Gara Gala who was on guard with her had no power to smash such a huge falling object, and her own telekinesis was not strong enough to reach that far, let alone save people or stop billboards from falling.
As she rushed over in a panic and onlookers were already screaming, a man under the billboard seemed to sense a rapidly enlarged shadow overhead. He looked up, looking a little dazed.
In the next second, the huge billboard suddenly stood still in the air.
Passers-by who survived the death still maintained stunned expressions, thinking that they had seen a pre-death hallucination. And the initiator of the "illusion of time standing still", the blonde boy with a peaked cap scratched his head in confusion, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Ling not far away, and he immediately waved his hand.
"What's going on?" he asked, carefully not calling out Xiao Ling's real name in front of anyone.
"Tuotuo Tuo Tuo Ma Jun......" Xiao Ling opened her mouth, and finally walked in front of the blonde boy with her feet not tripping over each other, "You, you put this thing down first, it's too scary......"
"Huh, but...... Isn't it okay to leave it on the lawn? My father said you can't litter on the lawn. The little boy was seriously entangled, "Or ...... Shall I hang it back up?"
Seeing that Tuoma really wanted to hold up the huge LED screen to dozens of floors out of thin air, Xiaoling hurriedly stopped it, "No, no need, really!"
"Hmm...... All right. ”
"Wait, wait, you don't have to move it to the square, it's okay to press it to the lawn, it's not garbage!"
On the top floor of the tall building, the three people lying on the window looked at each other, exchanging expressions with a sluggish .jpg of ducks.
"I kind of understand why Takuma was unusually seeded......" Saya muttered in a trance.
The force of such a huge billboard falling from a height is no joke, and Saya believes that even five strong monsters will not end well if they go together. As for Takuma's feat of casually using superpowers to set it in the air...... It can only be described as talented. Even Nazi, the owner of the Golden Yellow Pavilion, can sigh here, "It is worthy of the first day of the Xia Yang family".
"Since it's safe here, let's go and deal with the enemy outside. Kyoji clapped his hands, "As for the masked man, there are Yo Mako-kun's Pokémon patrolling around, and he shouldn't be able to escape this building." ”
Xiao Ye and Xiao Jie nodded at the same time, and the three of them pushed the door and went out, joining the chaos outside the door.
====================
"Whew, Whew, Whew......"
The masked freak panted and staggered down the hallway. His clothes were burned to tatters, his mask was half torn, and he had to cover half of his face with his hands.
At the time of the explosion, although he tried to curl up in the corner, he was still injured, and it was a miracle that he could still stand up at this moment. Despite this, his eyes were astonishingly bright, and his mouth kept repeating words.
"There's still a chance, there's still a chance...... I'm not a waste, I'm a believer in the Raven, just give me another chance, and I'll be able to let you see ......"
A chill struck him suddenly, and he fell to the ground, raising his head in horror.
Countless ghosts were wandering through the dimly lit corridors, dancing in ecstasy and emitting shrill giggles. He saw the ghost-colored darkness gradually spread over his limbs like a rising tide, sending chills all over his body and his strength draining little by little.
"Do you want to run away after doing disgusting things? The young man snorted coldly and walked out of the darkness step by step.
He crouched down and grabbed the masked stranger's chin. The crumbling mask finally fell completely, revealing its ugly face, scorched with burns and distorted by fear.
Under the moonlight, the gray-haired boy's pupils glowed with blood-colored anger. He grinned like a demon and said word by word, "I warned you—"
"Ravens don't need believers. ”
"Not to mention ...... Dirty things like you to be believers. ”
After speaking, the boy snapped his fingers slightly. Under the frightened and desperate gaze of the masked monster, countless ghosts screamed and opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and pounced on him overwhelmingly.
Then, the vision went dark.
====================
Small Theatre:
Tuoma: Although the billboard is not garbage, it is so big and heavy, it will definitely crush the grass if it is placed on the lawn? Xiaoling won't let me hang it back or move it to the square, what should I do...... Where exactly should I put it...... (Tangled and Tangled)
Xiao Ling, who has been holding up the billboard with Tuoma for half an hour: ............ (Crash)
