The Beginning of the Troubles Chapter 21: Soul Eater Burning Ruins
The elevated northeast outer ring of L city has been completely blocked.
A group of people wearing black suits and white gloves are standing at a certain height of the outer ring viaduct, looking down on the entire outer ring viaduct.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, and behind him were Shangguan Tiandao and others.
In the area of the Ghost Slayer Monument, a group of Prison Soul Department investigators wearing white coats are still monitoring over there.
Each of them wears a peculiar monocular to monitor the fluctuations of the spirit.
In a corner not far from everyone, there were two people standing.
One was wearing a black jacket with a cigarette in his mouth, and the other was wearing a black T-shirt and large pants.
These two people are Li Tianyi and Wang Quan.
"Oops, hey, how embarrassing is this, let you, who are not from the Suzaku Society, come over and help. ”
Wang Quan said with a smile, but he didn't look embarrassed at all.
Li Tianyi spat out a smoke ring and replied.
"If you're really embarrassed, after this incident is over, if you fight with me, I also want to taste the weight of the fist of the Mountain King. ”
Wang Quan narrowed his eyes and did not respond positively.
"It's so boring to fight and kill all day, so I'll invite you to drink when the time comes. ”
Regarding the perfunctory of the royal power, Li Tianyi smiled.
He himself knew in his heart that if he was given another ten or twenty years, he would not be an opponent of the king's power.
He just wanted to see the top of the pyramid a day earlier.
There's nothing like being on the field in person!
"Aren't they afraid of the wind when they stand on such a high position?"
Li Tianyi pointed at Shangguan and the others and said with a smile.
"When I was young, I had to climb to a high place, to see the scenery of a high place, I was old, I didn't dare to climb so high, I knew that the higher I climbed, the worse I fell. ”
Wang Quan said heartlessly, but Li Tianyi heard a different taste from his words.
After a moment of silence, Wang Quan asked seemingly casually.
"Old man Li, what is the purpose of sending you to L City this time?"
"Want to know?"
"Don't talk about pulling down!"
The royal power stretched out his palm.
"Get me one too!"
"Hey, how about you?"
took the cigarette in Li Tian's hand, and with a twist of his fingers, the cigarette butt lit.
The degree of control over the spirit made Li Tianyi smile bitterly.
A cigarette was smoked, and Wang Quan clapped his hands.
"It's better to smoke less, smoking affects sexual function. ”
"You!"
As soon as Li Tian heard this, his hands trembled with anger, and the depression just now disappeared in an instant.
"Hahaha, don't care, don't care. ”
The awkward atmosphere did not last long, and Wang Quan changed his cynical appearance and his expression was serious.
"Can you tell me why the blockade area involves such a wide range?"
The blocking array is a whole, and the reason why it is not easy to arrange a large range of array seals is because as long as one of the nodes is blocked, the entire array seal will fail.
The original intention of the royal power was to guard only one outer ring viaduct, as long as this last point was contained, then the sky and earth would be self-defeating.
But when the idea was proposed, it was rejected by Li Tianyi, and then it became the way it is now.
The forces were heavily dispersed, and the blockade area covered all parts of the city of L.
Doing so was easy to be broken by the enemy individually, and Wang Quan didn't understand it, but he believed in Li Tianyi's judgment, so he still did it.
"Because I'm not sure. ”
"Not sure?"
Wang Quan frowned, and he wanted to attack.
However, Li Tianyi's next words made him admire and worry at the same time.
"At first glance, the map distribution of L City, linked together, is a formation of thunder and fire, but we have all ignored one point, it can be connected in one step, why do they want to make a bend?
The location of the third accident is west of L City, so if it is a direct connection, the next accident site should be in the east, but what is the result?
But it appeared in the north, and then in the east. ”
Spit out a puff of white smoke, Li Tian outlined it with one finger, and it was exactly as he said.
When arranging the array seal, the arranger will definitely use the most streamlined method to connect.
For example, two points can determine a straight line, so why add an infinite number of points in between?
The result is the same, and the latter will only be more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Combined with this matter, the large-scale blocking array itself was extremely draining when it was arranged.
It can be done in one go, but it needs to be so complicated, so what is the purpose?
The royal power sounds unusual, but he doesn't know why.
Li Tianyi took a puff of cigarette with a solemn expression.
"I think there are several possibilities -
First, what they have set up may not be thunder and earth fire at all, but a kind of spiritual array that even I don't know.
Second, what they laid out..."
"There may be more than one formation at all! Heaven and Earth Fire may be just a disguise, a trap to lead us into the urn, and their real killing move is in the second formation they are hiding!"
Rumble!
A thunderclap, like a giant dragon roaring, pulled the contemplative royal power Li Tianyi and the two back to reality.
One by one, the little paper figures flew to the edge of the royal power, and bad news came from several blockade areas at the same time.
"President Wang, this is the first blockade area, it is being attacked by unknown black-clothed people, most of the ghost killing monument has been destroyed, and the special operations department has suffered heavy casualties, please ask for support!"
"President Wang, this is the Fourth Blockade Zone, and we are being attacked by unknown enemies..."
"This is the Fifth Blockade..."
Click!
The small paper figure is broken in half, indicating that the person in charge of the fifth blockade zone is no longer there.
Unfortunately, the bad news did not stop.
Since the 5th blockade zone, the 8th, 11th, 17th, and 20th blockade zones have been broken one after another.
The face of the king was gloomy and terrible.
The ground beneath his feet instantly dented.
"You help me keep an eye here, with the guys above and you, I don't worry. ”
After speaking, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Tianyi.
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. ”
Li Tianyi was much calmer than him, because he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to figure out what the enemy's purpose was!
Spit out a puff of white smoke again.
The blockade area where the bad news just happened was quickly outlined in combination with the content of last night's meeting.
A mouth-shaped array seal jumped out.
Li Tianyi frowned.
The word-shaped formation seal is the basic formation seal, and there are too many directions that can evolve, and this alone cannot confirm the enemy's purpose!
Wang Quan glanced at the figure carved by Li Tianyi, and thought of what Bai Ye had said before he left.
Li Tianyi was shocked!
"What do you mean by that?"
"A small friend of mine mentioned to me that there had been Kui Niu and people I didn't want to meet again in this place. ”
Closing his eyes, the imprint on Li Tianyi's forehead began to emit a faint light.
At the moment, he was doing a quick calculation in his mind, taking every possibility into account.
All kinds of spirit arrays flashed through his mind, and one of them became clearer and clearer in his mind.
"How is this possible?"
Li Tianyi exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong? What kind of spirit array is it?"
Looking at Wang Quan quietly, Li Tianyi didn't say anything, and the Wang Quan looked at it inexplicably.
With a sigh, Li Tianyi spoke: "What happened in L City thirty years ago?"
Wang Quan was stunned for a moment, and there was something dodging in his eyes.
"Even if you don't tell me what happened, you should tell me what is sealed in the Spirit Ruins of L City!"
Wang Quan was shocked and grabbed Li Tianyi's shoulders.
"Make it clear!"
"They have arranged a Grade A medium - Soul Devouring Ruins Array, which is a Spirit Array that devours living beings and can burn everything, as long as they take most of L City as a sacrifice, it can even burn the seal of the Spirit Ruins!"
"What?!"
The shock in Wang Quan's heart cannot be overstated.
At this moment, he didn't have time to dwell on why Li Tianyi knew about the seal under the spirit ruins, he just wanted to stop this worst thing from happening as soon as possible.
"Tell me, is this Soul Eater Burning Done?"
Seeing the performance of Wang Quan, Li Tianyi couldn't help but think of his old man's words in his heart.
It seems that what his old man feared is still going to happen.
"According to the report on the damage to the blockade area just now, the next point of contact will be here!"
Li Tianyi pointed to the position under the king's power, and his mood was extremely heavy.
"Who did you send here?"
With the royal power to do small things informally, and to do big things meticulously, it is impossible for him to let go of any suspicious place.
Otherwise, he would not have listened to his own persuasion and expanded the blockade area to all parts of L City.
"Shangguan Hong..."
"Is that him?"
He also belongs to the Thirty-six Heavenly Beings, extremely cold Shangguan Hong, the chief seventh man.
"If it's him, there should be no problem, right?"
I didn't expect the royal power to be so careful, such a strong combat power was not allocated here, but was arranged to a place with no definite basis.
However, with Shangguan Hong guarding it, it is indeed a lot more reassuring.
But the king said, "I have to hurry over - he may not be able to hold on." ”
After all, there is that person!
Thinking of the young man who appeared in the convenience store, Wang Quan's heart couldn't be calm, if only one of him came, it would be fine, if more than one came, then L City was really dangerous this time.
Just when the king wanted to leave, a strange laughter appeared above the outer ring road.
"Is that him?"
This laughter also attracted the attention of everyone present.
Shangguan and the middle-aged men who took the lead twisted their necks.
He said coldly: "I finally waited, I don't know if it's a big fish or a small shrimp." ”
A thunderbolt suddenly crossed the sky and smashed on the outer ring viaduct, and with a roar, dust and smoke rose everywhere.
When the dust clears, a group of people can be seen appearing on the outer ring viaduct.
The leader was a young man, and next to him stood a burly middle-aged man.
Behind them stood a group of people with expressionless faces like puppets.
Li Tianyi's eyes narrowed when he saw those people.
