Chapter 18, Dark Shadow
Originally, the request to go shopping with Xintong was to go to the Longji Mountains to find out the news of Zhifei Xianglan, but what Duroc didn't expect was to meet Xianglan on the street. The things that Duroc had been remembering since his injury and recovery had finally come to an end, though the atmosphere grew heavy when he talked about Zhifei Xianglan's father. But for Duroc, this is already a good result.
Because the new child chatted with Zhifei Xianglan very happily, Zhifei Xianglan smoothly agreed to stay in the first team.
After accompanying the new boy to send Zhifei Xianglan to the first team, Duroc returned to his team building, the small building. It was already half past eight in the evening, when Duroc had just parked his car in the doorway. Donghe immediately jumped off the balcony on the second floor of the small building.
"Captain! I'll help you get your car to the garage! ”
He enthusiastically took the handlebar from Duroc's hand and pushed the car away.
Duroc originally wanted to say that he could. But after thinking about it carefully, it was useless to say it, so I just let him retreat.
Since returning from injury, the players have shown their concern for Duroc to the point of meticulousness. Whatever it is, it's always ahead of Duroc. Coupled with Black Cliff's orders during this time, the team members stayed in the team building wholeheartedly to "take care" of Duroc.
Duroc pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the bright light gradually unfolded on Duroc's body along the crack in the door.
The team members sat in the living room in different shapes, poisonous insects fiddling with darts in their hands, Rhys sipping pure Garpa's coffee in his hands, and Jack sitting on the sofa wiping his long sword...... Everyone doesn't seem to want to sleep.
"My God......" Jack followed the voice, turning his gaze from the shiny blade to a Duroc standing by the door.
"What's wrong?" Duroc unnaturally closed the door and walked towards the poisonous insects. Catch the dart that was tiptoed by the poisonous insect with lightning speed, and shoot quickly. The dart was firmly anchored in the center of the target on the opposite wall.
"Nothing!" Jack looked at the bullseye's dart stunned, then turned his gaze to his hand and began to wipe the long sword in his hand again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I think you have become handsome today!" ”
"Jack! What do you want to say? Duroc asked, dragging a chair next to him and sitting down in front of Jack.
"Nothing!" Jack raised his chin at Duroc and said, "This dress fits perfectly!" ”
"......" Duroc was not going to bother with Jack.
Glancing at Jian Fu, who was dozing off, he said, "Jian Fu!" Why don't you go to sleep yet? Don't you always sleep first? ”
Jian Fu heard Duroc's voice, glanced at Duroc with his lowered head slightly, and rubbed his eyes that had narrowed into a slit with his hand: "Locke, you're back!" ”
"It's back!"
"Then I'll sleep! Everybody. Jian Fu got up from his chair.
"Haven't you been sleeping!" Favar touched his bald head and smiled
"Fa Fa! Did you see me sleeping? Jian Fu moved his steps and walked in the direction of his room: "Can you still sit on a chair when you sleep?" Don't use your brain? ”
"Haha!" The poisonous insect couldn't help laughing, and finished piercing the last dart in his hand: "Xiao Jane, your saliva is down!" ”
Jian Fu stopped at the door of his room, couldn't help touching the corner of his mouth with his hand, and then turned back and smiled: "Mistake!" Hehe! ”
Watching Jian Fu return to his room, Duroc bowed his head silently: "Actually, you don't have to wait for me!" ”
"Nope!" Jack put down the sword in his hand: "We didn't wait for you!" ”
Duroc raised his head and glanced at the team members around him: "Then what are you all doing in the living room so late!" ”
"Secret!" Jack smiled mysteriously
"What's the secret? What are you all doing? "Duroc was confused. Because in the fifth team, everyone is originally a family, and there are no secrets at all.
Jack shook his head, having no intention of telling Duroc at all. But at this moment, Donghe pushed open the door and walked in from the outside, saying, "We are betting that you and the new ...... today."
As soon as Donghe was halfway through his words, he was choked back by a biting chill coming from all directions. Everyone in the Duroc living room glared at Donghe, as if to say, "If you say it, there will be serious consequences."
"What?" Duroc asks Winter River
"Nothing?" Winter River waved his hand, striding sideways around Duroc.
Duroc quickly tripped Winter River with his foot: "Bet? What to bet on? ”
Jack hurriedly got up to clear the siege and said, "We bet... You and the new child... How long to walk the street! ”
"Really?" Duroc turned to the Winter River at both ends, and saw the Winter River nodding vigorously.
"Boring!" Duroc let go of Winter River: "You guys keep playing, I'm back in the room!" ”
Duroc went upstairs and returned to his room. When everyone downstairs heard the sound of Duroc closing the door, it was as if they had unloaded a weight of 10,000 catties.
"Hey!" Donghe whispered, "Who won?" ”
"You still ask?" Rhys put down the coffee cup in his hand that had been drunk: "I almost showed my stuffing just now!" ”
"I'm sorry!" At the bottom of the Winter River, he seemed to blame himself. But after only three seconds, he raised his head like a resurrection and asked, "But who wins?" Rhys! ”
"I don't know!" Rhys shook her head, "We were about to ask!" It's ruined by you! ”
"Huh?"
Jack unsheathed his polished sword: "But depending on the situation, he must have lost!" Jack gestured to Jane's room.
"I knew it!" Donghe said excitedly
"Shh......h
"Oh!" Donghe touched the back of his head embarrassedly
Closing the door, Duroc muttered, "Inexplicable! ”
Then he threw himself into bed. Although he was very confused about the behavior of the team members, the corners of his mouth rose again when he thought that Xianglan was safe.
He flipped over and flipped through the parchment scroll beside his pillow. The scroll is small, but it is engraved with words. It was given to him by Master Duroc on the day he left the school. Seems to be something very important.
The strange thing is that the master only said: "This volume is useless, and those who use it must use it." He never said anything more.
Duroc didn't ask much either. Looking at the scroll now, I understand what the master's first sentence "this scroll is useless" means. Because the text on it is messy, although there are a lot of them, there is no sentence.
After a moment's pause, Duroc shook his head. Then he put the scroll back on the head of the bed and rubbed his eyes.
Turn off the lights and look up the window. The starlight was everywhere in the eyes, and everything outside seemed to be silent black except for these starlight. And the Dark Shadow!
Duroc suddenly noticed a dark figure on the ridge outside the window, spying on him.
He didn't think much of it, rolled over and got up. He grabbed the long knife on the counter and climbed out of the window.
The dark shadow knew that Duroc had found him, and fled down the ridge.
Duroc also went up to the roof, following closely the man in front of him. Duroc adjusted his pupils, trying to see the face of the person in front of him.
It's just that the voyeur is also very fast, and Duroc has never been able to close the distance between them.
The two soon found themselves in the town of Moffigot, where there were many houses and alleys. After a few back and forth, Duroc gradually lost his direction and could only follow his instincts.
chased out an alley, only to see the black shadow quickly turn into another alley. Duroc shouted, "Stop! ”
Then follow the black shadow to the alley, and the other party did not run away anymore, but stood in front of Duroc with his back to Duroc. Wearing a large black cloak, Duroc could not see any characteristics of the other party at all.
"Why didn't you run away?" Duroc drew his sword and pointed at the other party
The other man did not answer, and then walked forward slowly.
"Stop!" Duroc cheered again
The other party stopped, and then Duroc heard the sound of metal hitting the ground with a "bell".
"Looks like you're going to lure me out and kill me again!" Duroc swung his sword, and a sword aura struck the dust on the ground: "Come on! ”
"......" The other party still did not answer, and turned his back to Duroc.
"Why don't you answer?"
Hearing Duroc ask again, the other party finally reacted. Turning around, he raised his sword with one hand and pointed it at Duroc. The sword was a foot wide, and it was rarely used by the Terrans, and only the Wyvern would use this kind of giant sword.
Duroc frowned, "Wyvern? ”
Before Duroc could make a move, the other party had already made a move. Single-handedly, the greatsword slashed at Duroc.
Duroc leaped backwards quickly, his greatsword crashing into the floor, sending bright sparks into the air.
As he leaps backwards, Duroc adjusts his angle. Allows yourself to step on one side of the alley wall, then step on another wall and jump in the air.
At this time, the person holding the giant sword had just finished slashing a sword. The rear force is empty, and it is the time for Duroc to attack.
Using the speed of his fall, Duroc wanted to take down the opponent with one blow.
Who knows, even if the strength is empty. The other party can still calmly resist Duroc's slash in the air.
I saw the other party step out with one foot, and the giant sword swung an arc in the air. When Duroc's long knife met in the air, the same sparks flew around.
The difference is that the two of them collide with each other, and the power spreads along the plane, leaving a long split mark on the wall of the alley.
Duroc took advantage of the strength of the opponent's sword and leaped backwards.
The other party seemed to have anticipated Duroc's movements, and ran forward in advance, following Duroc.
The greatsword slashed horizontally, but Duroc's feet had not yet landed. Reluctantly, he put the knife on his left hand side and pressed his left arm against the back of the knife.
Although the opponent was moving, the strength of the sword was still very large, and it was surprisingly large. Hit Duroc directly into the wall.
Duroc fainted, slumped to the ground.
The Shadow Man didn't kill the killer in pain, but just withdrew the greatsword and turned to leave.
