Chapter 86: Conditions for Victory
The "crackling~" sound of the rain hitting the window woke Lu Jiu up.
When he opened his eyes and looked around, it was dark both inside the house and outside the window, and Lu Jiu looked up at the wall clock on the wall.
Three o'clock in the morning.
Since returning to Changyi City yesterday evening, Lu Jiu has slept for nearly 9 hours, which is enough to prove how badly he was injured yesterday when he only needed 3 to 5 hours of sleep every night for the past few days to fully recover his energy.
At the same time, Lu Jiu had to sigh at the powerful recovery ability of this body, with the help of demon blood, except for the dull pain in his chest that he had suffered yesterday, the rest of his body had returned to normal.
Leaning on the head of the bed, Lu Jiu reached out and took the mechanical box next to him, this time he directly opened the lid of the box, and counted the juice and demon blood ice cubes that were less than one-third of the miles left.
Barely able to support himself in one more battle.
With a long breath, Lu Jiu thought about what to do next.
There were still two days left before the end of the Zhengyang Festival, and when he arrived in Changyi City, he had checked the timetable, and the last train was tomorrow afternoon, and he had to return to Qingding City before that.
There's only a day and a half left to take out the cyborg golem.
Although Lu Jiu was now sure that the guy should still be wandering near the grave, it was undoubtedly a joke with his own life to go directly to the cyborg puppet to fight for his life.
In the previous battle, Lu Jiu had already experienced that guy's strong hand-to-hand combat ability, especially the mechanical prosthetic, which restrained his existing attack methods in almost all directions.
But that doesn't mean the cyborg puppet is invincible!
In fact, after revisiting that battle last night, Lu Jiu found that his flaws were also very prominent.
First, this cyborg puppet has physical strength stronger than that of a Spirit-Awakened Demon Veiner, but it does not have the corresponding extraordinary abilities.
Of course, his mechanical prosthetic limb is also an extremely powerful special ability to some extent, but this ability Lu Jiu has already learned, at least there is no need to worry about this guy suddenly losing his hand halfway through the battle.
Second, the cyborg puppet completely follows the instructions given by the Mind Snatcher, which means that he will not be flexible in the face of certain situations, to take the simplest example, after being attacked by Lu Jiu's air thunder, normal people will choose to retreat and wait and see, and he almost launched an offensive step by step, completely putting his own safety at risk.
Although this played a role in suppressing Lu Jiu at that time, it also allowed Lu Jiu to find out the law of action of this half-mechanical puppet......
If you want to win, you have to make a fuss about it!
......
As the governing body of the city, the Changyi County Government still maintains its original regulations even in the center of the city with many high-rise buildings.
No floors were added or altered in any way.
It was not that the government did not have the money to repair it, but that the imperial court strictly forbade local government officials to change their doors without authorization, which was somewhat a demonstration of support for the ancient system in the current drastic social environment.
Even on the second day of the Zhengyang Festival, several officials arrived early, wearing hats to sweep the stumps and leaves in the courtyard that fell due to last night's wind and rain.
Knock! Knock!
The drum of grievances placed outside the gate opposite the main hall of the county government was suddenly sounded, and the nearest official immediately threw down the broom, held the long knife at his waist, and rushed out quickly.
Pushing open the door, I saw a man holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a black gauze hat standing by the drum.
"You're beating the drums?"
Holding the handle of the knife in his hand, the official raised his head and asked, although he was doing the work of a miscellaneous servant in the yamen, but in front of outsiders, he was also an official.
"I have information about the murderer to tell the people in the Jingye Division, you quickly let someone inform them, just tell them, I only wait for half an hour, if they can't catch up, then if the killer runs away, I can't take care of it." ”
Holding a wanted warrant in his hand and stuffing it directly into the arms of the official, Lu Jiu walked into the yamen slowly with his hands behind his back, and when he crossed the official, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said,
"I arrived here early in the morning, and I haven't even eaten breakfast yet, so I quickly asked someone to prepare a breakfast for me, the amount is large, and I'm hungry!"
"You ......"
The official looked at the back of Lu Jiu who was walking in if no one was going inside, and then looked down at the notice in his hand, and for a while he didn't know whether to step forward to stop him from trespassing on the public gate or immediately notify Jing Yesi.
'Once you find the traces of this murderer, you must notify the Yasuya Division as soon as possible, and if there is any delay, you will not be spared!'
The words of the chief in the county government the night before came to mind, and he immediately trembled and hurriedly rushed to the stable in the back hall of the county office.
It turns out that the pressure caused by the Heart-Ripping Ghost to the Jingye Division of Changyi City is by no means comparable to that of ordinary criminals.
In less than 20 minutes, a team of people and horses dressed in the uniform of the Jingye Division and wearing rainproof cloaks rushed from the side of the street outside the county office, and the leader was the captain of the Jingye Division who appeared at the Ningxin Inn the night before.
When he arrived at the gate of the county government, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and led people into the door quickly.
"What about people?"
Untied the cloak that was still dripping rain, an official immediately stepped forward next to him to take over, and the eyes of the captain of the Jingye Division turned around in the main hall of the county ya, except for a wooden table with leftovers, only a few other officials and messengers couldn't help asking.
"The man is gone...... He said that there was an emergency, and he couldn't wait to check it, and asked me to hand you this note, saying that you will understand after reading it. ”
Tremblingly handing over a folded note, the official recalled the appearance of the man eating Haisai in the county hall, if it weren't for this note and the man's action of jumping over the wall when he left, he even suspected that the guy was here to eat and drink.
"Who allowed you to let him go!"
Hearing that the person who knew the information had left early, Jing Anwei immediately stepped forward and scolded.
"Tell your lord, we can't stop him. ”
The official's answer was quite sincere, so that Jing Anwei opened his mouth and could only close it helplessly, turned to look at the handwriting on the note in the captain's hand, and asked with a surprised face when he saw the content on it,
"What did he tell us to prepare these things for?"
"Since that person dares to come to the county government to report the news, he must have something to rely on, and we can't miss any possible information at the moment. ”
After reading the contents of the note, after a short silence, the captain took it in his hand and said in a muffled voice,
"Do so, send someone to contact the government-run factory in Changyi City, and ask them to prepare these things and send them to the county government as soon as possible, I want to see what medicine he sells in his gourd!"
At this time, outside the county office, someone was standing on the corner of the street, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, burping and picking his teeth.
At first, Lu Jiu didn't plan to ask the people of the Jing Ye Division to help.
After thinking about it, as long as you don't let them know that you're helping, wouldn't it be enough?
