Chapter 42: Sonata in the Night
A layer of black mist was wrapped around the outside of Li Shiyi's black knife, like a burning black flame.
The small arc of electricity in the pupils gradually expanded, and Li Shiyi's back was resolute and determined, like Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill.
The knife cut into the eye of the wind, the light blue arc was like countless bats screaming, and the dense fog floating around the black knife led the thunder and lightning into the totem pole under Li Shiyi's feet, the totem pole was trembling violently, the ancient humanoid pattern was twisted and deformed, and the kinetic potential energy of the forward rush was also rapidly decreasing.
Like a huge mountain landing on his shoulder, Li Shiyi's black robe hunted, he could feel that the muscles of his arm were congested, and the almost substantial black mist was completely attached to his face, revealing only two pitch-black eyes, bloodshot and horizontal.
"God, have mercy on all beings. ”
Looking at the tiny figure above the sky that was fighting the wind and thunder, Max began to whisper again, just as he had done before killing ghouls in the woods.
The glowing phantom of the cross spawned at the top of the totem pole, and it rushed past Li Shiyi into the whirlwind of the tornado, and the dazzling light was fleeting, as if a light was lit under the dark clouds.
Behind Max, a figure galloped in the rain, rising and falling like a frog walking, splashing a large splash every time it landed.
A few minutes earlier, Al had heard a muffled noise in front of him, which seemed to be caused by the explosion of something, and he was still running wildly in the rain, and he became more and more uneasy, with his current speed, he couldn't catch up with Max, so he had to use the brute force hidden in his left hand.
Although it was a little unsightly, he was indeed rushing towards the place of the incident, and he could vaguely see the point of light directly ahead.
Al burst into Max's line of sight from behind, and was shocked to see a tornado mixed with thunder in mid-air.
"Max, what the hell is going on here?"
"Didn't you tell me not to come with me?" Max looked serious, "Get out of here!"
"You lied to me, it's not an academy quiz at all!"
"So what, I repeat, get out of here!" the sun pattern on the ground dimmed, and Max began to chant intently again.
As the clouds surged, a thick bolt of lightning lit up the night sky, and for the first time, Al could see the scene in mid-air, the pillars flying in the sky and the sword-wielding figures at the top of the pillars.
"That's Senior Brother?!" Al's face was filled with disbelief.
He couldn't imagine that the heavy pillar could actually fly in the sky, and he couldn't understand that the young man surrounded by black fog was actually fighting against a tornado, and the most ridiculous thing was that this person was still his senior brother.
The rain was falling, and another black shadow rushed in front of Max's eyes, still wearing his own clothes.
"Al, what are you doing! Come back to me!" After Max noticed that the dark shadow was actually Al, he immediately tried to stop Al's reckless behavior, but to no avail.
"Totem awakens. ”
Max continued to summon a totem pole, but this totem pole was not used to help Li Shiyi, but to stop Al, and the totem pole broke ground on El's path to stop Al's progress.
"Thanks, Max. Al turned around and shouted at Max, and then his left hand hammered the ground into the air, and the totem pole in front of him that prevented him could be used as a springboard, and when he was about to approach the totem pole, Al's fist hit the raised pattern harder, and the force of the recoil caused him to catapult in the direction of Li Shiyi.
"Senior brother, hold on, I'll be there soon!" When he saw that he was alone against the tornado, Al made up his mind that he must do something, at least to relieve some of the pressure on Max and Li Shiyi, he can't help from a distance through summoning like Max, all he can do is help Li Shiyi fight against the violent whirlwind together.
The last totem pole rushed up under Max's manipulation, hitting the tail end of the totem pole at Li Shiyi's feet, and the dull impact sound erupted into a circle of sound waves, and at the same time stopped the gradually descending tornado, and the scale of the wind whirlwind was also weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although the huge wind pressure was somewhat weakened, it was still very strong, the skin on Li Shiyi's upper body was a little pale, and many places were even cut out of subtle wounds, and the sudden impact under his feet made him a little unbearable, who was already close to the limit of his body.
The dense fog wrapped around the black knife was suddenly diluted a lot, and a lot of fine electricity drilled in, but he was still gritting his teeth and insisting, the green muscles were violent, Li Shiyi didn't mean to avoid it at all, he was challenging the limits of his body.
"Senior brother, I'll help you!" a familiar voice came.
In the next second, a crimson fist almost pressed against Li Shiyi's cheek and rose into the sky, slamming into the eye of the wind through the black mist.
A little farther away, above a dome-shaped building, Newcastle was hidden from the streetlights. He looked blankly at the central part of the B-Department teaching area, where the tornado was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been swallowed by something, and the wind and electricity were gradually fading.
"No, we can't stay here any longer, it seems that some big man in the academy has made a move, and I need to get out of here quickly. There was more blood coming out of his fingers, and Newcastle could feel that his physical strength was beginning to be seriously exhausted, and if he continued to use it to complete the task, he might even have to explain it here.
"The troubles at the door hope have been settled. Newcastle glanced in the direction of the academy gate from a distance, he could no longer use the "Wind Domain" without scruples after losing too much blood, he had to use the remaining strength to escape.
Newcasi frowned, a sense of crisis slowly enveloping him, like a man's back. No longer making any more stops, a cyclone carried him quietly into the night, but much slower than before.
About a minute later, the spikes of the steel cable shot up from under the circular building, firmly hooking the edge of the roof, the sound of mechanical friction rapidly approaching, the jet maneuver wire rope was quickly retracted, and the special forces team landed where Newcastle had left off.
"Captain, there are blood stains here!" One of the team members used a bright flashlight to spot a pool of blood that had not been washed away by the rain, and immediately reported it.
"He's been here," Conrad quickly made a judgment after an urgent look at his surroundings, and Newcastle's possible course of movement came to his mind clearly.
"Captain, look there, you may need our help!"
Conrad turned his head and noticed the anomaly that the team had noticed.
Near the center of the teaching area of Department B, several stone pillars rotated rapidly in mid-air, and a whirlwind rotating in the opposite direction from the flat ground was violently hedged against the tornado in the sky, and the two were canceling each other's impact, and the whirlwind formed by the stone pillars gradually took over.
"I believe they can handle that level of emergency. ”
Not long ago, they learned from the Ministry of Information that the identity of the so-called "second intruder" was Li Shiyi, the president of the student union of Department B.
"Let's go, go to the academy gate, this is our last chance!" Conrad didn't have the heart to keep an eye on the situation there, he turned and looked at the academy gate with burning eyes.
After climbing past the last tall building, Newcastle's vision widened as he was on the outskirts of the central square, near the walls of the College, and there was no sound in the eerie castles around him.
Newcastle was covered in rain, the hot sweat on his forehead mixed with the cold rain, and he felt his body go hot and cold, and it seemed that he had a fever.
With no extra strength to support him to continue using the "air hood" to keep out the rain, Newcastle was dressed in a big gulp, his long hair hanging down in all directions, embarrassed. The injured arm had completely lost sensation, and much of the reason it was able to hold on to it until now was Newcastle's tenacious willpower.
About a hundred meters from the main entrance of the college, Newcastle can clearly see the sculptures bathed in the rainstorm on both sides of the school gate.
"Damn, where the hell are you?, won't you let me go with pigeons?" Newcastle's voice trembled a little, and a sense of coldness and powerlessness came to him in turn, and although it was not the first time he had experienced it, this familiar experience could never be liked.
"Can't talk nonsense, right? Raven will never fail to promise something. A hearty voice rang out from behind the stone statue on Newcastle's left, "But Mr. Newcastle is twenty minutes later than agreed." ”
Newcastle's body tensed at first when he heard this voice, but he relaxed after identifying the person who came.
"Get me out. ”
"It seems that your physical condition is not optimistic," a figure walked out from behind the white stone statue, a gray windbreaker, a gray gentleman's hat, and the bright spot of the cigar in his mouth flickered, "It seems that he is injured." ”
"Stop talking nonsense, if I hadn't been attacked with a sniper rifle, I wouldn't have needed your help. ”
"Of course, I know Mr. Newcasie's strength, but Raven is also your loyal friend, and it is a pleasure to serve you," the corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, "The doorman has been cleaned up, and you can leave at any time." ”
"Hmph, gold is your most loyal friend. ”
"Or you know us best, so the terms negotiated before..."
"Okay, don't be verbose, I'm not going to skimp on dirty stuff like money. Newcastle's face was a little disgusted.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. ”
Newcastle ignored the expressionless face as he staggered towards the gates of the Imperial Military Academy with his heavy body in tow.
"Why aren't you leaving?" asked Newcasi without taking two steps.
"It seems that Mr. Newcastle did not find the tail tracking behind, rest assured, we will provide excellent after-sales service. ”
"Have a nice trip and look forward to serving you again. The man waved his hand at Newcastle and paced without looking back into the dark place in the corner.
The lightning flashed and lit up the man's pale gray face, and the wide trench coat flashed away, the same man in gray who had returned the box to El that day.
