Chapter XI
"I said you, really, what are you doing here to join in the fun?Have you done all your previous work?" Looking at Komachi walking beside him with some pain, Zhu Erliu finally didn't hold back and continued to repeat the question. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info He felt that his current appearance should be very similar to the rumored Shikihime in the outside world, the kind of chattering and constant nagging, but...... But you said that this kind of behavior was done by the person Onozuka Komachi......
"You are the god of death, not a ghost, why do you have to go to the troubled waters of the field god of death? Do you know how muddy the water is of the field god of death?" sighed again, Zhu Erliu used his ghost advantage to start to really haunt Komachi like some resentful spirits, "You don't say how smart you are, just honestly do the transportation of the Santu River......
However, no matter what he was saying, Komachi was just smiling softlyβno, in Zhu Erliu's eyes, that should be called a giggleβand then watching Zhu Erliu circle around her, as if the situation made her very happy. Feeling that circling like a resentful spirit was not a threatening action for a god of death at all, Zhu Erliu showed a helpless expression on his face and stopped: "You...... You say two words. β
"Gee, it's been a long time since I've talked to you so much. You talk so interestingly, but you don't see people all the time...... I'm also the god of death who extradited you, so can't you find time to talk to me more?"
"Ah...... It's okay for you to come to me and talk to you if I'm free, but if you have to let me take the initiative to talk to you, it's a bit too strong, you know. Frowning at this request, Zhu Erliu touched his chin, "Wait, don't change the topic, the Field Reaper is originally the home of ghosts, but you are a real Reaper." The gap between the Grim Reaper and the ghost was something you could have warned me about, wasn't it? How could those ghosts like old fritters look at you pleasing to your eyes? Not that you just died, and you don't know much about the situation in the underworld......
"Oh, you're worried too much!"
"Why, why did you start calling me that nickname again! I told you that I'm angry now, you know? I'm seriously concerned about you as a friend!" really started to get a little angry, Zhu Erliu's tone began to become impatient, "I'm serious with you, I've rarely been so serious about other people's affairs." I've been in this position for five years, and I know a lot better than you......"
"That's good. Still smiling, Komachi's gaze drifted into the distance at some point, "It's nice now...... You've been in this position for five years, and we've known each other for five years, right? There's really not much time for you to say that, and I don't usually have many people to chat with when I'm transporting, and it's boring to do that job all day......"
This sentence choked Zhu Erliu at once. Feeling that there was something wrong in his heart, he lowered his head, but after pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly reacted: "Wait, who am I? Why do I have to relieve your boredom? Am I your dad or your grandfather, or your husband?"
ββ¦β¦ Oops, was discovered. β
"I will repeat, Comrade Nozoe, the work of the Grim Reaper in the field is relatively dangerous, and for you, this danger not only comes from the outside, but also from the inside. You and I both know that because the Grim Reaper has always firmly controlled the upper echelons of the underworld and regarded himself as an absolute manager, the only high-ranking official born in the ghost is still the Yuyuko of Saigyoji Temple who is idle and has disappeared, and the ghost's dissatisfaction with the Grim Reaper is already a well-known secret. In this kind of workplace environment where everyone is an old fritter, you basically have to be squeezed to death......"
"It's okay, right? β
"I'm ****** asshole, are you going to let me wipe your ass everywhere, are you? Listen to my advice, and you're going to go back and fuck your ......."
"I can't go back, Yiren. Suddenly, Komachi said another sentence, which made Zhu Erliu choke again, "...... It seems that because of too many times of laziness, I didn't pass the assessment on Lord Yingji's side...... You also know that the Grim Reaper is definitely unwilling to do field work, so this is actually the punishment given to me by the Hall of Merits......"
ββ¦β¦ It's the first time I've heard of such a painful punishment. Some couldn't believe it, Zhu Erliu tilted his head, "...... Forget it, it's not the first day that the Hall of Truth and Wrongs is so painful...... Even the correction of documents requires the use of brushes and quills. Tsk, a bunch of old-fashioned stubborns with rigid minds. β
"In that case, let's work hard this time, work hard, do a good job, and strive to get you back to a stable post as soon as possible. Since I have just finished my mission and have a few days off, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the most basic things in this business......"
"Hey!?Do you have a holiday?Then keep telling me stories!Tell stories, tell stories!The inequality that the man named Bell made last time, and the person named Yumemi Okazaki, you haven't finished telling me yet......
Stupid. This man is a real fool. How could it be so easy to believe it? No matter how ridiculous the Hall of Merits was, it would not be possible to make such a punishment as letting a regular Grim Reaper do the field work, right?
Hahaha, the person who wears clothes is really a ...... Stupid......
Thinking like this, Komachi, who was entangled with Zhu Erliu again, had a certain gray color in his eyes.
βββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββββββββ
"Attention, Bug Tide! Everyone is ready for the onslaught!"
This was the first time that Sanae had faced the "Bug Tide", a unique Nazi shock tactic, on a frontal battlefield. Although she had fought the damn slimy bugs many times before, most of the battles she had experienced in Mongolia, Gensokyo, or Rio de Janeiro had been in squads, and the Nazi tactics of using bugs were immature at the time, so she had never experienced being attacked by a swarm of biters under constant fire from enemy infantry in positional warfare.
So she felt a little overwhelmed. The discomfort that came with Yuedu's equipment that seemed to be slowly absorbing something in the body exacerbated the panic. Completely unaware of what she was supposed to do, she could only hide behind the quickly set up bunkers of the fighters for the time being, watching the swarm's assault line advance against the bombardment of rifles, machine guns, bazookas, and Z-50 guns.
The mantis is accustomed to rushing quickly from the ground as it makes an impact, accompanied by a part of the low-altitude attempt to pounce on the inside of the line - though due to the structure of their wings, these bugs tend to fly much slower than they can climb. It is said that more than 1,500 insects appeared suddenly after a brief exchange of fire between the two sides, and appeared on the left flank of the company, densely packed like locusts that pounced on the crops. They should have been dropped in the airspace far away from this battlefield and not threatened by the PLA Air Force, and then rushed here. Luckily, the warriors were obviously already familiar with the other side's set, and the simple rapid defense component played a big role in the defense, the scroll-like thing only needed to be inserted into the ground and then pulled apart, and the soft material that hardened quickly after activation could become an excellent defense device - although this thing could not be used for long after activation, and was basically a one-off thing......
"How long will it take for the Air Force to come over!?"
"Report, three minutes!"
"MD, Black Tiger Three, support the left flank and take down the bugs!"
"We are entangled in enemy tank worms and cannot get out!"
The Air Force's bombing support required a certain distance from the defensive positions along the front line of the swarm, otherwise the infantry on the ground would have to risk being accidentally injured. And now, before the swarm's assault line reached the position, some fighters began to have to rely on the power of the upper bayonet to engage the mantis in hand-to-hand combat with the exoskeleton: a rather fatal move as everyone knows.
Unless they do it.
"Sanae, Marisa, send the bugs back!
"Understood, MasterSpark!"
I don't know if it was deliberately amplified or if I had completely forgotten the technique of controlling power that I learned five years ago, Marisa's magic cannon was once again magnified to a presumptuous level. Even so, this level of bombardment is only a drop in the bucket in the face of bugs that don't look like they're dwindling in numbers. Taking a deep breath, Sanae poked her head out from behind the cover: "The secret method 'Nine Character Cut'!"
β¦β¦ Odd. This spell skill is a bit strange to use. I felt a pang of chaos inside my body, something holding in my chest and trying to squirt out. Just as Sanae's brain was in a daze and felt the abnormality, she suddenly opened her mouth and a mouthful of blood was coughed up at once. Tsukito's equipment actually creates a "shield" around her body to protect her from the lunar environment, but it is also because of this that the blood is blocked by the shield, thus surrounding Sanae's skin about 0.5-1cm on the surface, because of some strange tension forming a faint film of blood, it looks like blood surrounds her.
What the hell is going on!?
Sanae felt a lot of pain. Her consciousness was so blurred that her foot stumbled, and what soon appeared in front of her was a mantis's compound eye. Frightened and flinching, she subconsciously stepped back, but it seemed to give the other side a good chance to attack......
Luckily, the bug was immediately hit on the head by a machine-gun bullet that came out of nowhere. In the headphones, Reimu was shouting, "Sanae, you've been sniped!
Why did I get sniped? Why did I get sniped? What and by whom?
"You crazy people! You just committed suicide!" At this moment, Mianyue Yiji's voice also sounded, "Don't use mass energy transformation to fight long-range, use it to strengthen yourself or weapons! Fortunately, this is the ...... of the dark side"
"The air raid will arrive in less than a minute!"
A white shadow suddenly appeared, like a ghost. When Sanae finally realized that her lungs were injured, the shadow was already close in front of her, and the blade stabbed at her throat with a terrifying and unstoppable atmosphere. Instantly pulled out the fighting dagger that he had picked up before going to the battlefield, and deflected the blow at the last moment, and with the pain in his chest, Sanae stabbed back along the opponent's track. However, her attack, which is not good at using daggers, did not work, but was shocked by the back of the opponent's knife, and her hand did not clench, and she directly let go of the only weapon.
β¦β¦ It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you have a weapon anyway......
The right hand is unsteady, but the left fist rushes forward. Struggling to imagine his fist as a sharp sword, trying to adjust the "shield" at the fist to fit into the shape of the enemy's protective suitβa fighting technique that Mizuki had impromptu before she came upβSanae's eyes reflected the enemy's white exoskeleton and long white hair that was somehow exposed. The punch was missed, but she suddenly remembered the enemy.
This isn't the first time we've played each other, and if I'm not mistaken...... It's behind you!
Hurriedly leaning down, the blade of another grappling knife sliced over Sanae's hair. Turning her body around and catching the new enemy out of the corner of her eye, she immediately understood that she had been right.
If it hadn't been for the sudden realization that this white guy was the doppelganger woman, I might have had my throat slit just now...... Why didn't the latter wear an exoskeleton? Is it really able to be directly exposed, or is it wearing some simple equipment like a few people on his side?
Sanae's onslaught doesn't give Sanae the heart to think about these questions, although the answer to the question will likely allow her to accurately grasp the enemy's weaknesses. Enduring the pain in her lungs, she took a stance, trying not to crumble her defenses, and waited for the time when she could fight back. It seems that someone carried out a rescue shot, but it was obviously not of much use to the "three" who were already entangled. Feeling the collision of the blade and the shield several times, Sanae's breathing had begun to become unstable.
Damn, this guy...... The ghost lingers!!!
The sweat began to flow more and more violently, as if there was no way to stop it. In a certain impatient mood, Sanae slammed a hand knife hard, but the attack, which she thought was definitely impossible to hit, had a real hit feel. When she didn't react at all, like a ghost, the enemy she had fought so many times disappeared ghostly again. At the same time, Sanae heard the roar of a certain fighter: "Air raid is coming, pay attention to the concealed !!!!"
Yes. That's right. It was as if in the middle of the fight for a minute or so, he was guided to the middle of the swarm. Looking around a little blankly at the bugs that didn't know why they had bypassed her, Sanae thought. This must be the enemy's ploy, right? Didn't I notice? No, I definitely did. Then why did I still fall for it?
β¦β¦ Nonsense. Because, of course, I want to die. If he dies, he may be able to see Mr. Ge.
Sanae understands what will happen next. The PLA's air force will drop terrifying bombs and blow all the bugs to pieces along with themselves. She shouldn't be left with a corpse, but will be a mess like the bugs. The death was quite tragic.
But it doesn't matter. Thinking so, she slowly closed her eyes and waited for the moment of judgment. She even seemed to be able to sense the proximity of the fighter jets, even though there was no sonic boom at all.
But just when she was ready to die, her body was suddenly knocked down by an external force. Accompanied by another voice: "Lie down quickly!!!!"
The explosion should have happened, but Sanae basically didn't feel much of the impact. She understood that most of the reason was due to the fighter who suddenly appeared and threw himself under him. Luckily, they were also rescued by the low gravity of the moon and the two flying mantis that seemed to want to escape the bombing range by flying: the two of them "flew away" from the center of the explosion and happened to use the two bugs as meat shields. Even so, the damage to the warrior who was protecting himself with his body was obviously not light, and the hand he stretched out to get the spare emergency oxygen tank was already twitching.
Sanae quickly took off the jar and let it work as it should. Then, she heard the first words of the life-saving benefactor after returning from the struggle of the ghost gate:
ββ¦β¦ I'm a soldier...... I've protected you......"
"Mr. Ouyang Pingshui!?"
