The First Volume: The Mountain Rain is Coming and the Wind is Full of Buildings, Chapter 5: Worldview (2)
"Mystery?International Club?" Yichen suddenly had the illusion that he had been fooled, that AndrΓ© might have escaped from a mental hospital, and that he had listened to a psychopath tell a fantastical story for an afternoon.
Andre's voice raised a few decibels: "The Rookie Club, founded in 1952, is an internationally renowned extreme sports club. β
"Extreme...... Movement?" Yichen was stunned.
"That's right, like skateboarding, BMX, surfing, skiing, skydiving...... As long as it's an extreme sport, you can think of it, you can't think of it, the club has it. Andre raised his eyebrows, "Of course, these are just the work of the club in the open, and there is only one job in the shadows, and that is to deal with all the crises that the Sword Tomb has caused to the earth." In order not to cause panic in society, the issue of the Sword Tomb cannot be made public. β
Yi Chen smiled, it was obviously normal, but when it came to Andrei's mouth, there was a hint of obscenity.
"The Rookie Club is a guardian international armed organization that is jointly established by a number of countries. The Rookie Club remains politically neutral and will not intervene in any political, military, religious or racial matters related to the country, and the only goal and meaning of its existence is to solve the problem of the Sword Tomb, and it is its purpose and proposition to fight the elements against the elements. "So far, the club has more than a hundred member countries, and its strength is unprecedentedly strong. β
"That unknown world is the Sword Tomb?"
Andrei nodded.
"Aren't the divine sword and the demon the Dao sword and the royal palace?"
Andrei nodded again.
Yichen whispered, "The two stories are connected. β
Andrei stood up and moved his waist: "The story is finished, do you believe it?"
"Tell me the truth?"
"Tell me the truth. β
"Half-convinced. β
"Doubtful?"
"I told you that this doesn't work. A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Yichen saw it when he heard it, and his face changed in the next second.
A girl walked out from behind the cement room, with a tall figure and a cold face, it was Vanessa.
"Why did you get out?" said Andrei.
"You're too verbose to listen to. Vanessa threw him a bottle of mineral water, "By the way, I'll do you a favor." β
Andre unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank water in a big gulp: "This favor is a good help, you don't know how thirsty you are for so long, you should have drunk less coffee if you knew it." β
"That's not what I'm talking about. β
Seeing Vanessa's chin raised towards Yichen, Andre choked and coughed violently: "You don't want to ...... Mess around, there's nothing needed here...... You helped. β
Ignoring him, Vanessa looked at Yichen, "You don't seem to be happy to see me. β
"No, willingly, willingly. Yichen smiled unnaturally, he was really afraid of this woman, to be precise, he was afraid of her Browning, although there was no wind, but he felt a chill on his back.
"Although the environment of this place is a little worse, it is better to be secluded, and no one should come for a while. Vanessa looked around, clearly pleased with the place.
"What the hell are you asking me to bring him here?" Andre rubbed his nose vigorously, his tone full of helplessness. It was after listening to Vanessa's words that he asked for a change of place.
"He didn't believe you after talking about it for a long time, and I helped you make him believe it. Vanessa gestured at Echen.
"I believed, believed. Feeling Vanessa's gaze, Yichen's face turned bitter and he nodded hurriedly. He now understands what it means to "sit at home, and evil comes from heaven."
Seeing Vanessa smiling and silent, Yichen's face became even more bitter: "I really believe it." β
"Where's the little iron sword?" asked Vanessa.
"Here. Yichen trembled and took out the small iron sword from his pocket.
"You don't want to wake up the Dao Sword, do you? Awakening the Dao Sword depends on the sword breath, and he doesn't even know what the sword breath is. AndrΓ© pulled Vanessa aside, and he had a bad premonition.
Vanessa did not deny it: "Mo Kaize didn't know at the time, he could still wake up the Dao Sword, and besides, I didn't let him wake up on his own." When the Lord of the Dao Sword encounters danger, the sword breath will forcibly awaken the Dao Sword and protect the Lord of the Dao Sword, this is what you told me, right?"
"Forced awakening, Dao Sword Protector, I said it, that's right. Andrei nodded, not quite reacting to what she was going to do.
"That's going to be easy. Vanessa turned, and a small Browning appeared in her hand, her black muzzle aimed at Yichen a few meters away.
Vanessa's sudden movements immediately startled Yichen, and her Adam's apple rolled and she kept swallowing her saliva. He didn't even know what the two of them said, so he was pointed at a gun again, and the person with the gun was still the same person!
"You don't seem to be afraid. Vanessa said with interest.
Yichen swallowed his saliva and stammered, "This is ...... In a society governed by the rule of law, you can't ...... Kill, let alone your gun...... Is it true or notβ"
Syllable!
A deafening gunshot interrupted Yichen's words and shattered the quiet atmosphere of the abandoned power plant.
Yichen's eyes widened and his gaze glazed over, and he was temporarily deaf in his right ear, caused by a bullet flying past his ear.
"It's time to know if it's true or not. Vanessa slowly moved the muzzle of the gun, aimed it at Yichen's chest, and smiled softly, "Play a game with you, I will hit you in the chest with this shot." Rest assured, just one shot, it depends on your luck whether you live or die. β
Yichen's legs trembled slightly, and his heart was full of fear. The devil, in his eyes, Vanessa has become a devil. And the devil was smiling at him and saying that death was an easy thing to do, and that there was nothing to fear.
"That's enough, if you keep making trouble, it's going to be a big deal. Andrei whispered from the side.
"Remember the first lesson you gave me?" Vanessa looked at Andre, but Browning in her hand was still facing Yichen.
"Of course, I remember that the content of the first lesson was decisiveness, and decisiveness is what a person canβ" AndrΓ©'s face changed dramatically in the middle of speaking, "Wait! You won't really shoot, will you?"
Vanessa was silent, just looked at him lightly, and the meaning was obvious: Congratulations, you got it right.
Andre panicked: "Listen to me, you must not-"
Syllable!
Vanessa pulls the trigger and the gun rings out.
Zheng!
At the same time, a crisp sword roar sounded, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, plunging the entire power plant into endless darkness.
Andre was stunned, his mind still stopped at the moment when Vanessa fired.
Yichen's whole body lit up with a black halo, and he stared blankly at the long sword in front of him.
The moment the gunshot rang out, he thought he was going to die, and the second time he faced death, his fear did not increase but decreased, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
At this critical moment, the little iron sword released a deep black light, which instantly turned into a three-foot-long black light long sword, and then darkness descended, and everything returned to tranquility.
The whole process was very fast, almost instantaneous.
In the darkness, Yichen's senses were not only not hindered in the slightest, but became extremely clear.
He could even feel a mysterious and ancient aura permeating the black light sword.
It didn't take long for the halo on his body to converge, the long sword no longer emitted black light, the darkness gradually faded, and the power plant returned to light.
"Is this what darkness feels like? It's uncomfortable. Andrei shuddered.
In the darkness, the sudden silence made his heart palpitate, it was an indescribable feeling, the earth, the sky, the light, the perception...... It was as if everything had left him.
"Sword of Darkness!" Andre stared at the sword hanging in mid-air, and walked over with emotion, "Now you should believe what I say." β
Yichen stretched out his hand, and the long sword fell into his hand: "Could it be ......?"
"One of the Seven Elemental Dao Swords, the Sword of Darkness!" Andre nodded heavily, "You are the Lord of Darkness we are looking for!"
"Sword of Darkness, Lord of Darkness. Yichen muttered.
Looking at the jet-black round sword handle, the hideous lines came into view, and his face became strange.
He was pretty sure he didn't know the hideous lines, and even that this was only the second time he had seen them.
But for some reason, the moment he saw it, he understood the meaning of the hideous pattern - [Dao Sword Night Beam].
It felt strange, as if the Dark Sword was an old friend he hadn't seen in years, and although he was a little unfamiliar with his appearance, he was very familiar with the name.
"This is the Sword of Darkness?" Vanessa wondered.
Seeing Vanessa coming over, Yichen was terrified, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
"How dare you shoot?" said Andre to Vanessa with a sad face.
As soon as he remembered what had just happened, he was afraid. Now he regrets dying, I really don't know where he got the courage at that time, he dared to bring such an aunt who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
"The second one is a simulated bomb, just to scare him. Vanessa said lightly, "It works well, doesn't it?"
"It's good, but what if he just touched the Dark Sword? β
Vanessa shrugged indifferently: "Didn't he touch it, he was stunned." But you, after living a lot of age, why are you getting less and less courageous?"
"Who is timid?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Andre hurriedly turned his head to look at Yichen and got down to business, "The Lord of the Dao Sword has a special membership status in the club, a rose member, which symbolizes the highest status and honor. As the Lord of Darkness, you are now a member of the Club's Rose. Think about it, come with me?"
Yichen fell into deep thought.
"The choice of the Lord of the Dark Sword means that the Dark King has escaped, and you, as the Lord of Darkness, whether you want to or not, have become the prey in the eyes of the Dark Palace, and are destined to fight with the Dark Palace. Andrei said truthfully.
"Why me?" Yichen couldn't accept.
"Because the Sword of Darkness has chosen you, this is a mission and destiny. Andrei said in a deep voice, "The palace is the biggest threat facing human society right now, and the world needs you." β
"I don't want to be a hero who saves the world, I'm just an ordinary person who just wants to live an ordinary life. Yichen smiled bitterly.
"The moment you become the Lord of Darkness, you are no longer an ordinary person, and you can no longer live an ordinary life. Whether you want it or not, it's true. "The palace has set its sights on you, and if you don't leave, your family's situation will become very dangerous, including your girlfriend." β
Yichen raised his head suddenly, his eyes were mixed with shock and unease, and there was a hint of faint anger: "Will they be in danger?"
"Every royal palace is a complete demon, and their appearance means disaster, and I think you should know the meaning of the word 'disaster'. Andrei didn't say it straight.
