Chapter Twenty-Three: The Robbery of Corpses
Autumn nights, extremely cold, the frenzy of the finches through the twilight in the sky, and the cries of toads like balls, like bubbles floating on the surface of a pond, a few red. The naked stars were pitifully next to each other, flickering as if they were shivering from the cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The dark sky, a round of waning moon hung obliquely, and the dim moonlight sprinkled on a certain courtyard in the center of the imperial capital.
"What do you say?! The eldest lady is gone?! ā
Although it was late at night, the mansion of the Grand General of Noxus seemed restless, and a dozen servants hurried through the courtyard, shuttling from side bedroom to bedroom, as if looking for something. At this time, Duke Ka O sat on the chair in the living room and rubbed her temples, staring at the old lady beside her with a blue face, who held the letter that Caterina left on the dresser when she left, and said tremblingly: "Master, at dinner, the eldest lady was so stuffy in the room that she said that she would go out and breathe, who would have thought that this would ...... I haven't come back yet......"
"What did you do? Can't even watch a little girl's film? Du-Kekao roared.
The old lady saw that her master was angry, her knees weakened, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave is guilty, the slave is guilty, please punish the master." ā
"Hmph, punishment, what's the use of punishing you, even if you are cut with a thousand knives, can you get the eldest lady back!" Du-Kekao frowned, and the sound of rapid breathing was accompanied by the sound of slapping on the desk: "Go to the police station immediately, tell those policemen, I only give them twelve hours, if I can't find the eldest lady, I will change all the blood inside and outside the police station, go quickly!" ā
In the morning, when the sun had just emerged from behind the top of the mountain, the warmth of its first rays of light mingled with the coolness of the dying night, making one feel a sweet tiredness, and the moist black earth seemed to have the traces of the rosy morning light, and the song of the lark fell like a rain on the sky.
"Tyrone, I've walked thirty or forty miles, let's rest."
Thirty miles from the imperial capital of Noxus, Caterina in a cloak carefully stepped over the mud puddle at her feet, and glanced sadly at Tyrone, who was also wearing a cloak four or five meters in front of her.
"Miss, did you sneak out of the city just to rest here?" Tyrone turned his head, his eyes under the dark green hood raised, "You better go home, the family must be worried about you." ā
"It's not a shame!" Caterina pursed her lips, leaned her body on the tree above her head, and casually looked at the scenery of the mountain stream, the mountains are like the sea, the trees are angry like waves, and the yellow pine needles cover the white sand, like the hair of a beauty, with the wind of the years, slowly drifting down, leaving a faint sad face, Caterina looked obsessed, quietly leaned on the tree, and closed her eyes slightly: "Look, Tyrone, the scenery here is really beautiful." ā
Tyrone, who has a heavy responsibility, naturally does not have the leisure and elegance of Katarina, and when he heard this, he just shook his head lightly, and said with a helpless wry smile: "The front-line battle situation is worrying, Mr. only gave me half a month, if the eldest lady likes the scenery here, then stay here well, and leave first." ā
"Hey, Tyrone, you stop me, wait for me ......"
Looking at Tyrone's back as she walked away, Caterina snorted, and then strode after the meteor.
Three days later, the capital of Demacia.
In the temple square in the center of the capital, the original vermilion lacquer ring has been demolished and replaced by a huge cage three feet high and seven feet wide, with a copper and iron structure, covered with barbs, and two heavy bronze shackles hanging from the door, which glow dazzlingly blue in the sun's light.
Four white cordons were set up around the iron cage, and hundreds of live guns and nuclear bomb guards were lined up, forming a wall of people without leakage, although the guards around the iron cage were guarded, there were still many brave residents who ignored the guards' reprimands, and poked their heads out of the cordon to look at the monster in the iron cage - the iron cage was locked up in a huge monster, the huge body and arms were scraped out of the barbs on the iron cage and the blood marks were scratched, and a thick iron chain hung around the neck, and the iron chain like a python was tightly wrapped around the monster's neck, As if to pull its neck down, the monster's stone-colored body was now scarred, and a five-foot-wide blood hole in its chest that had been scarred was impressive, and the monster's original red pupils were holding its breath tightly at this moment, and it shrugged its head like a sleeping lion leaning on the iron cage railing, motionless.
"Is this the legendary god of war in Noxus?" "Hey, he's so scary, so scary!" "What are you afraid of, he's a dead man now."
As people chattered, the crowd gradually stirred, more and more people poured out from all directions, those who did not witness the appearance of the monster scrambled to the position of the cordon, the pressure on the guards responsible for maintaining order doubled, and they had to take out the military batons equipped to drive away the crowd, and the scene got out of control several times.
"Whew...... Hertz...... Call...... Hertz"
In the alley next to the Temple Square, Caterina crossed her waist, kicked her breath, and complained: "Those policemen are too bad to do anything, they really dare to do it!" ā
"Miss, let's have a snack. This is not Noxus, so run out recklessly, if the Demacians find out your identity, neither of us will be able to escape. Tyrone stood beside her, rubbing the bulging green bag on his forehead, and glanced at Caterina angrily.
"Ahem...... What, Tyrone, your head doesn't matter. Caterina coughed dryly, scratched her head in embarrassment, and smiled apologetically.
"Thanks to the eldest lady, I can't die for the time being." Tyrone replied nonchalantly.
"......" Although Tyrone's attitude made Caterina very angry, after all, if he hadn't run through the cordon, he wouldn't have caused Tyrone to get a slap on the head of the Debang police, and Caterina, who knew that she was at a loss, still smiled and asked: "Tyrone, what should we do next?" ā
Tyrone's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a pair of red eyes stared at Sain in the iron cage in the distance: "Wait until it gets dark, there are too many guards now." ā
The night was thick, the originally brightly lit temple square was also pitch black, only the cold wind with raindrops was still whistling, dark and distant corners, I don't know when a lightning bolt lit up, illuminating the shadow lying in the cage, the huge shadow was instantly reflected on the ground, chillingly, the shadow's head was adhered to the dark red and damp liquid, the iron chain tightened the shadow's neck, a line like a ground skin color extended from the collarbone to the chest, between the two ribs of the chest, It's a dull red hole that makes people creepy at first glance.
At this moment, through the afterglow of lightning, it can be clearly seen that two cloaked figures are tiptoeing close to two German military and police officers who are leaning on the railing of the iron cage and napping under the cover of night......
"Khooth!"
The sound of the knife coming out of the sheath, the cold light flashed, and a short black and brown knife pressed against the guard's neck, and the sharp sharp blade cut through the trachea on his throat without the slightest pause, but pierced straight into the chest of another guard, "poof, poof" The two guards fell down in response, and bright red and warm blood gushed out, splashing on Tyrone's head, face, and body. Tyrone unexpectedly drew his knife and wiped the blood from the blade with a handkerchief, and his sharp gaze fell on Katerina, who was also wearing a cloak on the side.
"What are you doing, find the key."
Caterina froze in place, only to react when she heard Tyrone call to herself. "Oh." Simply agreed, leaned down slightly, stretched out his hand and touched the dead guard's arms, half a ring, Caterina turned around, her face embarrassed: "The key is not ...... Not on them. ā
"Oh, got it." Hearing Katarina's words, Tyrone just nodded nonchalantly, took out a wire from his pocket under the hood, and directly left the bodies of the girl and the two guards who were leaning down beside him, and walked straight to the iron cage.
"Click" the bright steel wire was inserted into the keyhole of the large shackle, and as the wire was twisted, the cell door composed of several thick iron railings was easily opened, "Come in!" Tyrone waved his hand behind him without turning his head, and then the cat leaned over and got in.
If Caterina was just curious before, Caterina was really shocked at this moment, only to see her mouth open as big as the mouth of a box, and swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva in succession, as if her throat was dry: "Tyrone, you...... How can you even pick a lock? ā
The cold wind raged, darkness enveloped the city, thick dark clouds obscured the light of the moon, and only the occasional small light that spilled through the cracks was quickly swallowed up by the darkness, as if the whole world had fallen into a dead silence.
The thunder and lightning caused the whole night to quickly fall apart, and the scenery turned pale for a moment. Somewhere in the Temple Square, three figures appeared. No, it can't be said to be a human figure, to be precise, it should be two people carrying a corpse in the dark and windy night, walking in full swing.
"No, take a break, I'm tired."
Caterina behind her let go of the hand that was carrying Sein's corpse and sat down on the ground panting: "This ...... This big guy is too heavy! ā
"......" Tyrone frowned, and was about to say something when he turned around, but saw the girl in front of him slumped on the ground, her face flushed, and the clothes on her chest were already soaked with beads of sweat, but she still grabbed the placket with her hand and kept fanning the wind. I couldn't bear it, so I nodded lightly: "Okay, then rest for five minutes." ā
"Drop~Woo~~Drop~Woo~~Drop~Woo"
After a rush of sirens, the street lamps on both sides of the temple square were lit up in an instant, and the magnesium lights flashed one after another, like the arc light of electric welding, and like the lightning of the autumn night, the red, green, and green neon light transformed into thousands of twisted silver long swords, piercing the night sky and reflecting the whole square clearly.
"What's going on?" Caterina opened her eyes, and Muna looked at Tyrone, apparently stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Tyrone's heart also chuckled, and he jumped up from the ground with a blue face: "It's not good, someone found out!" ā
