Chapter 140: The Night of Thunder and Mist
Walking through the night like a cheetah, under the streetlights of the old town, two black shadows ran through the dilapidated streets towards the misty Sea Prison, flanked by the sound of the wind and the floating light of the streetscape.
Every time Al runs forward for dozens of meters, he will leave a faint black mark behind him, and the "steel bone" hand armor is like a dragon head spitting flames under Al's precise control, every time he shoots at the ground, Al flies away angrily as if he is flying close to the ground, but even so, Al can only see the back left by Li Shiyi, and the distance between the two has always been nearly 100 meters.
At this time, the sound of a bell like a dragon's roar suddenly exploded in the quiet old city, and the overture announcing the arrival of the "Wanbang Lantern Festival" should have been wafting from the neighboring administrative district.
"It's already twelve o'clock in the night, and the monsters lurking in the shadows should be ready to move," Al's broken hair was blown to the back of his head by the night wind, and his eyes became more determined, "Today is not destined to be an ordinary day." ”
With that, a burst of fire erupted from Al's left arm, and with the help of the reverse thrust of the "steel bone", Al's speed rose again, and as the surrounding fireworks cooled, Al gradually let go of his ability and quickly approached Li Shiyi.
Not far ahead is the outskirts of the old town, and there are more and more mottled old houses, and the sound of the sea breeze beating through the trees and the breaking of the waves against the reef can already be heard on the deserted streets.
However, tonight's sky over the Sea Prison was somewhat different from the previous days, the vultures and eagles that had come to forage were gone, and there was only a huge white giant bird hovering in the empty night sky, which was a rare golden eagle.
In addition, in the lower airspace below the golden eagle, several white kites silently patrolled all the roads leading to the Sea Prison, shooting their sharp gaze into the treacherous night fog like soldiers guarding their own territory.
Suddenly, one of the white kites, which stayed on the top of the ruins of the old house, turned its gaze to the deep dense forest next to it, and the sound of squirming attracted its attention, and the light white paper feathers fanned slightly, and the white kite disappeared into the white mist, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
Then, I saw two blurred figures rushing out of the dense forest, and from the direction from which they attacked, it can be inferred that these two guys must have sneaked in from the direction of the old city.
The two black shadows traveled very fast, and after breaking out of the dense forest, they disappeared into the dense fog in an instant, and only the sound of gradually thinning sounds could be heard on the sea rock path leading to the Sea Boundary Prison.
The white kite then flew high, and when it reached the thick fog, it whispered twice towards the location of the golden eagle, and the golden eagle hovering high in the sky quickly echoed the same low call, and soon the golden eagle's eyes were covered with a pale white.
At this moment, in a closed manor in the old city, an elderly man lying on a lounger on the top floor of the villa looking up at the starry sky - plum blossom J suddenly frowned, and then his pupils were covered with the same light white.
The ground floor of the low villa was brightly lit, Ace of Hearts was drinking alone with a bottle of red wine as usual, only this time she was not drunk, and the cowboy Q was sitting in front of a simple bar with a look of regret fiddling with the two bright silver revolvers named "Viper", and next to the pistol was a "Ticket to the Imperial Arena", it seemed that he was deeply sorry not to attend the auction of the Imperial Arena in person.
Compared with the relatively frank performance of the above two, the Kasa and the King of Spades, sitting in the windows on the left and right sides of the hall, are a little quiet and depressing.
The King of Spades leaned on the windowsill, carefully wiping the white blade of the fallen hero - "Sakura Thorn", but his brow seemed to have been depressed since the day, it seems that he is still thinking about the battle with the "flag soldier" Udir today, and the defeat of the enemy is obviously not completely convinced.
And the real worry is to stroke the little rabbit looking out of the window, he has taken off the "Joker" oil paint costume, now he has completely lost that violent atmosphere, completely a quiet beautiful man, but his face is not very good-looking.
Although the Ace of Hearts and the Queen of Diamonds will watch the "boss" change his demeanor from time to time, there is not much communication between the two people.
Having understood Kasa's thoughts, the people of the "Joker Magic Troupe" don't know how to persuade the boss who is fighting side by side, all they can do is to stand firmly with Kasa and then rescue the innocent girl trapped in the Sea Prison.
"Boss, do you already have a plan of action?" Pulling the "Viper" revolver back into his waist, the impatient cube Q took the lead in asking, "The raid on the Sea Prison in the Imperial Capital sounds even more exciting than the last time I broke into the Cape Prison, and that guy named Cook seems to be a bastard similar to Eragua." ”
"The president means that we must get rid of Prison Warden Cook," Ace of Hearts placed President Ravenfeather on the bar in front of her, and then she poured herself another glass of wine, "but after today's experience." 'Crow Attack', I think they must have stepped up their vigilance, after all, after the successful assassination of Moria by the third team of ravens in Yenisei City, several other prisons seem to have guessed something, and so far there has been no trace of the warden of Seastone Prison and Seabreeze Prison, they seem to have disappeared from this world out of thin air, and must have gone into hiding because they smelled danger. ”
"You will leave as soon as it is dawn, this is my business alone, the affairs of Carlo City still need to be dealt with by a few of you, don't leave for too long. ”
Kasa picked out the cards Ace of hearts, Q of diamonds, King of clubs, and King of Spades from a deck of cards that he had spread out in his face, and Kasa pushed the four cards out and tucked the remaining cards into his sleeve.
Suddenly, the white sword light flashed, and the "Sakura Thorn" in the hand of the King of Spades shot out like lightning, and with the sword aura of the white falling Ying, it quickly shot across the entire hall on the first floor and shot towards the Kasa on the other side.
Like a mud cow entering the sea, there was silence, and the next second the white trail ran through the square table in front of Kasa, and four white lights rushed straight up from the bottom of the four cards, and it was not surprising that the four playing cards that were pushed out by the Kasa were broken into countless confetti, mixed with the petals of cherry blossoms falling down.
In the bright hall, there was a rain of white flowers.
"K, what are you going to do?!" Ace of Hearts angrily slapped his glass on the table.
"Oh, my ancestor, don't you have something to say? This isn't our Carlo City, and if you break something, you have to pay for it..."Square Q cried and touched the few gold coins left in his pocket.
In the face of the sword qi motionless, Kasa waved his hand to signal the ace of hearts not to get angry, and his other hand was constantly comforting the frightened little rabbit.
Kasa turned his head to look at the unruly teenager, and from his facial expressions, he could see that Kasa didn't mean to blame K at all.
"We've traveled thousands of miles from Carlo City to the imperial capital Xinlan, but we're not here to collect your body," the King of Spades took Sakura back into the scabbard with a dashing motion, "I've said since the day I joined Raven that I won't collect the corpse for any of you, because the first person to die in the 'Joke Magic Troupe' can only be me, and if you can't even protect your own comrades, then what assassin are you going to be." ”
"K..."This is the first time that Kasa's face has shown a soft color since he came to Xinlan City.
Remembering that the lonely boy who couldn't get along with everyone when he first joined Raven was still yesterday, it wasn't until Kasa tried to keep the boy at a meeting of the Carlo City branch and gave him the captured "Sakura Thorn" that the King of Spades restrained some of his rebellious personality for the first time, but this was only when he got along with Kasa.
Kasa saw a little bit of the shadow of himself when he first joined the raven from this boy, so he always took care of this younger brother who was many years younger than himself in his daily tasks, and over time they had a brotherly friendship, but the withdrawn temperament of the King of Spades was engraved in his bones, and he was always like this whenever he was, and everyone in the "Joker Magic Troupe" had long been used to it.
"Even if I fight for my life, I'll save that girl," the King of Spades said and hugged Sakura and closed his eyes, "If you want to be hypocritical, don't leave them to your sister, don't disturb my rest until I have a plan of action, and when dawn comes, I'll throw all the cowardly garbage in prison into hell." ”
Apologetic eyes fell on a few of his teammates who looked at each other with determined eyes, and Kasa put the little gray rabbit in his pocket, and then he stood up.
Kasa was about to say something when Plum J, who was on crutches, walked through the squeaky hallway and walked in through the door.
"There is a situation on the periphery of the Sea Boundary Prison, two young people who are not weak are secretly approaching the Sea Boundary Prison, it seems that they are not sent by the Elder, and their identities cannot be determined for the time being. ”
"It turns out that we are not the only ones who are fighting the idea of Haijie Prison. The Ace of Hearts smiled wickedly, like a dangerous red fox.
"Master J, let your little pets come back, and decide not to be discovered by the other party," Kasa looked at the street outside the door with the night fog surging, "Tonight is the time for us to act, and the president will not give us any substantial support, because what they have to do is just as dangerous, and we will both cooperate with each other, and we will stab the enemy's heart like a double dent and kill with one blow." ”
"The purpose of this trip is to save the innocent girls as well as to accomplish our mission," Kasa's eyes lit up, "and where night falls, raven's feathers fly. ”
"The Crow Organization's Carlo City Branch must not be compared to those guys at the headquarters!"
The King of Spades by the window slowly opened his eyes, and he looked at the boss of the "Joker Magic Troupe" along with the Ace of Hearts, the J of Club, and the Q of diamonds, everyone's eyes flashed with fighting spirit, and the smile on the corner of his mouth showed that the man who was as confident as a sword out of the sheath was back.
"Ace of hearts, received. ”
"Don't worry, Boss, you won't disgrace Callow City. ”
"Hmph, long-winded. ”
"I'm a little excited, haha. ”
A loud chant came from the sky, it was the golden eagle that cut through the thick fog, wings like long knives, eyes like meteors, beaks like silver hooks, and the golden eagle descended to the top of the villa again with a king-like posture.
The humidity in the air is getting thicker, the weak thunder is faint in the sky, and an unexpected rainstorm seems to be brewing.
