Volume 2: The Big Lie Chapter 17: My Lord, Times Have Changed

Anna didn't like the hospital since she was a child, and the constant white color of the hospital never gave her a sense of desolation and indifference.

She has seen too many doctors shaking their heads weakly, too many relatives crying in grief, too many people whose blood has cooled and turned into cold corpses. So Anna was scared here, especially now, when the heavy, oppressive air in the hospital room almost suffocated her. (In the context of the times, the role of hospitals was extremely limited.) )

Anna lay on the hospital bed, silently enduring the pain in her abdominal cavity while thinking about a way to escape.

She was the only one in the ward at this time, and it was a good chance to escape, but the severe injury made it difficult for her to even get up.

As Jiang Xuance said, it is already a miracle that she is alive after losing most of her organs.

The breeze blew, and Anna shivered in the hospital bed.

Why is there wind?

Anna looked up, and the door of the ward had been opened at some point, and she didn't feel the slightest feeling!

Anna was terrified and struggled to roll out of bed.

"Smack. With a muffled sound, a huge hole was cut in the bedding on the bed, and cotton wool sprinkled half of the room.

Someone snuck in!

Realizing this, a figure dressed in black and wearing a mask suddenly appeared in Anna's originally empty vision. The man in black was holding a short knife and was standing on the other side of the bed.

"Help!" shouted Anna, who knew she had no ability to resist.

Hearing Anna's shout, the man in black also knew that the situation was urgent, and he was about to stab him immediately.

"Phew. With a piercing sound of breaking the air, black pens entwined with silver flames flew out of the door, dragging out a long tail flame like a comet.

The man in black resisted with a knife, but was shocked back by the majestic essentia he carried. Then the pen descended from the sky in the form of a pitch-black sword, sticking straight into the floor, separating Anna from the man in black.

Then Qianzhou rushed over, spit out the bamboo stick in his mouth, and held the long sword stuck in the ground to attack the man in black.

The whole series of actions is smooth and done in one go. God knows how many times the teenager who has not yet graduated from Form 2 has rehearsed in his head.

Qianzhou raised his sword and jumped up, and the tip of the sword gently rippled, like the surging tide under the moon, and like the melodious song of the shark people on the reef.

Then the calm sea began to rise and fall, and thousands of acres of sea water and thousands of waves were raging. The air in the room had become viscous and obscure, as if a puddle of sea water was pressing on top of the head.

"The currents of the sea. Qianzhou whispered a sword move.

A sword is out, and the sea is crossing!

The majestic essentia of a thousand boats almost overflowed this ward, and a tidal wave almost literally appeared out of thin air in the silver light floating room.

Through the turbulent sea, the characteristics of the huge source of thousands of boats have been brought into full play. He was confident that there were very few people in his rank who could catch this sword.

However, it was empty.

Qianzhou's unreserved sword landed in the air, slicing a crack in the wall of the ward.

"How is that possible?"

In Qianzhou's eyes, the sword had obviously been slashed at the man in black, but there was no real feeling. When Qianzhou realized that the sword move had failed, the figure of the man in black suddenly disappeared.

When Qianzhou turned his head, the man in black had already walked to Anna's side, but Anna didn't react at all, as if she didn't see it at all.

"Get out of the way. Qianzhou shouted.

Only then did Anna notice that the man in black had arrived in front of her, and the short knife had already stabbed down in the cold light.

Anna closed her eyes in fear, but the imaginary pain did not come.

The boy crossed half of the room in an instant, grabbed the blade of the short knife with his left hand, and the skin was open and blood was overflowing.

The tip of the knife was in front of Anna's eyes, and no matter how hard the man in black tried, he couldn't move an inch.

The man in black decisively let go of the short knife to distance himself while reaching his hand to his waist.

"Be careful. Noticing the movement of the man in black, Anna opened her mouth to warn.

"Shielding the word (a plant). Seeing clearly what the man in black took out of his waist, even Qianzhou rarely said a dirty word.

The black and red body of the gun seems to be burning with flames, and the red barrel has feather-like black lines.

Although he hadn't seen the real thing, Qianzhou had already guessed what it was - this was the cause of all the stories, the dangerous weapon "Fire Crow" created by the Tiangong Pavilion and the White Deer Academy.

The fluctuation of essentia in the barrel indicates that the gun is ready to fire.

In this situation, Qianzhou couldn't help but think of the line that made him familiar with liver pain, "My lord, times have changed." ”

"Change your sister!" Qianzhou roared in his heart, knowing that the word "danger" must have appeared on his head without thinking about it.

Everything seemed to slow down in Qianzhou's eyes, and he could see the contracted muscles of the black's fingertips, the slowly pulling trigger, and the trajectory of the unfired bullet.

"Just in time. Qianzhou told himself in his heart.

The brilliant silver flame wrapped around the fragmented black sword body, and the flames jumped to reflect the fine ancient words very clearly.

"Bang. ”

The scorching red stream of steel erupted from the muzzle of the gun, like a fire raven chirping loudly and piercingly. In the billowing flames, the fire crow shed its pitch-black feathers and used flame and molten iron as its reborn clothes!

Nirvana in the ashes, reborn in the flames!

The next moment, the long sword collided with the projectile.

The fierce confrontation between essentia set off an infinite tide, and the air was overwhelmed and squeezed out, turning into a billowing wave of air surging outward. But there was no sound during this time—not too quiet, but loud enough to exceed the limits of what a human ear can hear—as evidenced by the broken glass of the entire hospital!

When the smoke and dust cleared, the young man with a sword in one hand stood tall. In front of him, the iron-gray bullet was split in two and fell to the ground.

However, the man in black had already cut through the gap in the wall and left.

"It's okay. At this time, Jiang Qinghan, who had an anxious face, was late.

The fragment reverted back to the shape of a fountain pen and was inserted back into the cuff by Qianzhou. Then Qianzhou grinned and gently rubbed the wrist of his right hand with his injured left hand: "I wasn't seriously injured, but I didn't expect that I would also have a sword splitting bullet one day." ”

Then Qianzhou turned his head to look at Anna: "Did you get the person who just came to kill you?"

Anna shook her head: "He's so well disguised that I can't recognize who he is?"

Qianzhou frowned: "Then you tell you what you have experienced in the past few days again, and don't miss anything at all." ”

After listening to Anna's narration, Qianzhou closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Qianzhou suddenly spoke: "I already have a clue. ”

PS: The next chapter is decryption. I have given all the foreshadowing that should be given, and there is a clue in Anna's words. After all this foreshadowing, it's finally time to wrap it up. It's also the first time I've written this kind of reasoning paragraph, and it's really hard to ensure that the logic is self-consistent and the clues are clear. However, I am confident that the writing is not bad. Let's look forward to the mystery in the next chapter.

By the way, what speculation can be made.

By the way, the night of this day in the story is a full moon, and the climax is coming.
