Chapter 19: Hirata vs Lao Zhu

The car carrying Hirata arrived in Z the next morning, and Warwick circled around the Iron Mountain Hospital several times before "discovering" the location of the hospital.

Seeing Hirata come back from a serious injury made the hospital lively for a long time, and finally found that it was not a big deal, and it was good to take Xiaolan's secret injury medicine for two days. The real trouble is Nicholas, although Nicholas is very powerful, but in essence, he has not broken away from [ordinary people], and it is only after curing Nicholas that Sister Chuan has wasted a lot of effort.

【Iron Mountain Hospital Duty Room】

Warwick was under a lot of pressure at this time.

"I didn't expect to use such a strong strength? I've only felt it on the S-class, no, it's stronger than the S-class, it's super S?! ”

At this time, Sister Chuan and Warwick were sitting opposite each other. Lao Zhu accompanied Hirata and Nicholas, and Xiaolan saw that Hirata was okay and went back to do the experiment.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Finally Mr. Hirata asked me to bring them here, and I arrived here this morning. Miss Hirakawatani, may I ask ......?"

"Wait." Sister Chuan interrupted him, "Is this all the process last night?" ”

"Yes, yes. That's all. ”

Just now, Sister Chuan was learning from Warwick about what happened yesterday. Sister Chuan has been expressionless, but Warwick's body and psychology are under tremendous pressure, and he understands that once he has the slightest concealment, the person opposite can kill him with his momentum alone.

Sister Chuan lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Okay, I know." ”

The pressure on Warwick's body suddenly relaxed: "Whew...... It's great that you can trust me. ”

"You don't have to be so nervous, I won't kill you, and you don't have to think about me." Sister Chuan crossed her fingers on the table, "I just have a few questions to confirm." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You speak. Warwick was a little embarrassed when his mind was recognized, but he quickly recovered.

"You said that the son surnamed Zhang took the initiative to find you?"

"Yes, I used to have a little business with his father -- I helped him connect with gun dealers in the middle. It's always been a good relationship, you know, it's just a good business relationship. Warwick replied.

"I know about that Gang Leader Zhang, so it makes sense......" Sister Chuan frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then asked, "So, do you know who we are?" ”

"You ......," Warwick said in a tone of uncertainty or disbelief, "it's [transhuman], right?" ”

"Oh? Superhuman, yes, you do call us Superhuman. Sister Chuan chuckled.

"Why didn't I know that there was a similar [transhuman] organization in country Z?" Warwick frowned, "And I've had some vague memories of this since I arrived in City X, which would never have happened before......"

"Okay, I got it." Sister Chuan stretched out her hand to interrupt Warwick, "I can't answer this question for you. Now I'm asking you questions. ”

Warwick glanced at Sister Chuan deeply, and then exhaled: "I understand." ”

"You're a [convenience house], I have a commission for you."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just want to hurry home now, I don't want to accept the commission."

"Oh, really...... Nicholas, I don't think I will live long. ”

"Huh!?"

Sister Chuan showed an unfathomable smile: "The lifespan of the Dusk race is only 30-35 years old, Nicholas is already 30 years old, and he has overdosed on drugs, which means that he may lose his life at any time now......"

"If you're a [superhuman], these aren't secrets to you, what the hell do you want to say?"

Sister Chuan's smile remained unchanged: "I want to say that if I can help you, to be precise, Nicholas, I can cure Nicholas's illness so that he can live like an ordinary person." How's that pay? ”

"What did you say?" Warwick stood up abruptly, his hands on the table, "You mean you can cure Nicholas?" No way! No one can cure the disease of the twilight seed! Unless ......"

"Take it easy." Sister Chuan motioned for Warwick to sit down, "I'm a doctor, and I'm a miracle doctor. Or that I'm what you call [unless], I think you should know the truth of what I'm saying, and I can pay first...... Now consider my suggestion. ”

Warwick bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, Warwick raised his head and looked directly into Sister Chuan's eyes: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take your commission." But don't forget your promise to heal Nicholas first. ”

"Ah, no problem. Now listen to my commission......"

"I want to hear about it."

[After 3 days]

"Ah, the strange ceiling ......" Hirata opened his eyes and let out a sigh of emotion.

"Stranger, you ghost! Xiao Tian, don't force me to complain as soon as you wake up!" After Lao Zhu finished spitting out, he put down the book in his hand and asked with concern, "How does your body feel?" ”

"Do you feel ......" Hirata showed a thoughtful expression, "I feel a little hungry......"

"Get out!"

Now Lao Zhu has completely become a spit service ==;

When Pingtian packed up and went to eat, Sister Chuan, Lao Zhu, and Xiaolan had already eaten.

"Yo, Brother Tian, did you sleep well?" Xiao Lan greeted first.

"Had a good night's sleep. By the way, thank you for the medicine, Xiaolan, if it weren't for it this time, I would probably have died young. Hirata thanked Arashi.

"Eh, you're welcome." Xiao Lan waved her hand, "If you hadn't eaten it, I wouldn't have known his efficacy." ”

"You don't know the effect of co-authoring!"

Xiao Lan stretched out her hands: "Can you talk about scientific things in such detail?" ”

I'm the mother of the house!

"Okay, okay, aren't you still alive, don't do so much." Sister Chuan glanced at Hirata from the side, "Anyway, it was Xiaolan who saved you, and let you try the medicine, not for you to pretend to be a maid in public and be photographed......"

"Hey, you've exposed a strange hobby, and the second half is entirely up to you!"

Sister Chuan put down her chopsticks, and a dangerous light lit up in her hand.

"Uh...... Of course, Sister Chuan, you're right, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, it's just that I don't look good in a maid costume. Well, that's all. ”

The light in Sister Chuan's hand disappeared and she continued to eat.

"Oh, by the way, what about the two guys who came with me? Why didn't you see them? Hirata suddenly thought as he ate.

"Oh, they're gone." It was Lao Zhu who answered him, "I left last night, and you haven't woken up yet." ”

"Really? It's a pity, I thought I could fight Nicholas again. Hirata shook his head in pity.

"Anyway, I remember you said on the phone that you could use your psychic powers?" Sister Chuan looked up and asked Hirata.

"Well, I'll show you now?" Hirata said as he pulled the vegetables, "But I don't think it's useful. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, let's go to the basement and see." After Sister Chuan finished speaking, she commanded Lao Zhu Dao, "You and Pingtian will practice in a while to test his ability." ”

"Okay, no problem." Lao Zhu readily agreed.

"Then Hirata will tell you something." Sister Chuan put down her chopsticks, got up and took a form back, and handed it to Hirata, "You take this, wait and fill it out, this is the worksheet." After Hirata took over, Sister Chuan put her hands on Hirata shoulders, "Now the organization has given you a task: the year is approaching, and the demons are coming...... Ahem, to put it simply, from tomorrow onwards you will be responsible for the elimination of all anomalous souls in Z City - that is, to kill them. ”

"I said......" Hirata shrank back, trying to escape from Sister Chuan's clutches, but failed, "This sounds like a big job, I didn't have a good idea to take on such a task, too urgent, right?" And why don't you do it yourself? ”

Sister Chuan: "Well, because I'm lazy. ”

Hirata: "...... What about Lao Zhu and Xiaolan? ”

Xiaolan: "Scientists don't rest, I have to do experiments." ”

Lao Zhu: "I'm going to hibernate." ”

Hirata: "......"

What the hell are you, Lao Zhu! If you don't think about it, just say it!

After dinner, Hirata went to the basement first, Xiaolan went to the laboratory, Lao Zhu was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Sister Chuan was watching the scenery by the window (the people who watched the scenery were also watching you...... Suddenly I want to take such a sentence ==).

"Sister Chuan, isn't it good for us to pit Pingtian like this?" Seeing that there was no one around, Lao Zhu said to Sister Chuan.

"You said you were going to let him out as bait?" Sister Chuan looked out the window and didn't answer.

"Well, it's a dangerous thing after all, in case there is a ...... of three long and two short"

Sister Chuan stretched out her hand to interrupt Lao Zhu, turned her head to look at him: "Bait is a must, we don't have a better candidate except Hirata." Daquan's level is not enough, Xiaolan is inexperienced, as for you and me, the other party may not attack at all, then a lot of our information will be wasted. ”

"That's what I said, but I'm still not at ease."

"This is not only a bait operation, but also an accumulation of experience for Hirata. Another point is that I want to test Hirata's identity. Sister Chuan turned her head and looked out the window, turned her back on her hand, and frowned slightly, "Lao Lu called, and he found out that another person may be the [Chosen One], it only took a month and a half to have spiritual ability, and it can be said that he is the person who has cultivated the fastest in history." I thought Hirata yes, but now I'm shaken. ”

"A month and a half! This...... It's so fast! Lao Zhu exclaimed.

"That's why I'm going to give Hirata some tests, if he can't get through, then ......" Sister Chuan's eyes were deep.

"Didn't the Chosen One appear at the same time?" Lao Zhu asked.

Sister Chuan shook her head: "I don't know, but as far as I know, I don't." ”

"That's ......"

The leaves outside the window struggled to hold themselves in place at the branches and refused to fall, when a fresh breeze blew and swayed the branches, and the leaves that refused to fall did their last effort, but they were still thrown into the air, swirling and drifting in the air, completing a journey that the leaves had to complete.

Lao Zhu looked up at the window and sighed: "This weather is really irritating." ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

【Namek Star Basement】

Hirata and Lao Zhu stood facing each other, Sister Chuan stood aside, and Hirata first pulled out his sword: "Lao Zhu, show your weapons!" ”

"Don't worry, you let us see your spiritual abilities first." Sister Sichuan on the side said.

"Ah, okay, you wait."

After Hirata's words, he stuck his sword on the ground, closed his eyes, and after a moment he opened his eyes and said, "Okay, look at your feet." ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhu and Sister Chuan looked down together, and found that their shadows had become smaller, shrinking into a group and gathering at their feet.

"This is your psychic power?" Lao Zhu asked.

"yes, yes. Well, that's okay. As he spoke, Hirata manipulated Lao Zhu's shadow to extend and extend under his feet, and finally turned into the shape of a tree.

"Gone?" Sister Chuan wondered?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Nope. ”

Chuan Zhu and the others: "......"

This is hairy!

"Well, you can't say that. I've thought of some usages anyway. Hirata said aloud.

"Tell me?"

"Like this......" After saying that, Hirata closed his eyes again, and the shadows under Sister Chuan and Lao Zhu's feet suddenly became frenzied, slowly breaking away from the constraints of the ground, standing upright, and transforming into a smiling face in front of the two.

Hirata exhaled: "Okay, isn't it more than just now?" ”

Sister Chuan: "But what's the use of this?" ”

Hirata: "It can scare people." ”

Chuan Zhu and the others: "......"

You can play in the city of the?! Yes!!

"I kind of want to give up." Sister Chuan turned her head and said to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu spread his hands and laughed helplessly: "The world is unpredictable, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, hey, my expectations are too high, I take it for granted." Sister Chuan lowered her head and sighed, "But I can't say, what if it's a hidden skill?" ”

"It's also ......"

"Hey, you two haven't finished talking, I'm still waiting for the fight." Seeing that Sister Chuan and Lao Zhu were depressed, Hirata shouted, "Although this ability is a little useless, but you won't be like this, it should be me who is unhappy!" ”

"Okay, okay, we just sigh that time is like water, don't shout, Lao Zhu, you are ready to practice."

Lao Zhu stretched forward with one hand, and without seeing any movement from him, a glaive knife slowly took shape and appeared in Lao Zhu's hand. Lao Zhu held it with one hand, pulled a knife flower, pointed to Hirata and said, "This knife is called [Capture Ming], Xiao Tian, take it." ”

The [Capture Ming] in Lao Zhu's hand is about two and a half meters long, the knife is wide and heavy, with black flame lines, and the head and tail of the knife handle have a thickened protection design.

(PS: Glaive knife, that is, a half-moon-shaped long-handled broadsword.) If you don't have a concept yet, refer to Guan Gong's Qinglong Glaive Knife. οΌ‰

"Okay, you're welcome." Seeing that Lao Zhu flashed his blade, Hirata didn't talk nonsense, now is the time to show the results of his cultivation.

"Take it, Wind-Flash!"

said that it was too late, and Hirata suddenly disappeared from Lao Zhu's field of vision, but Lao Zhu hurriedly turned the big knife in his hand to the side. The sound of metal intersecting sounded, and Hirata appeared behind Lao Zhu, and the umbrella blade in his hand was slashing at Lao Zhu's big knife.

"Well, the speed is good, but the strength is a little worse." After Lao Zhu blocked Hirata's attack, he shook Hirata's shock and flew him out, and said, "Xiao Tian, you can go up, I will only defend and not attack." ”

Although Lao Zhu's words meant that Hirata was inferior to himself, Hirata didn't think he was wrong. The "Trace Flash" just now is the fastest speed that Hirata can use now, but it was still seen through by Lao Zhu.

"I'm picking up this move, reverse knife - traverse!"

Hirata held the knife in his backhand, and his body rushed forward while constantly shifting left and right, and suddenly his body suddenly slammed and slashed out!

"Whoa!"

This move Hirata is to attack Lao Zhu's lower way, and the purpose of his constant displacement is to confuse Lao Zhu, but at the moment of the knife, he is still not as fast as Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu will block Hirata's slash with the big knife down.

"The speed of this move is very fast, and the idea of moving left and right is also good, but your lack of experience and body trajectory exposes your attack target."

Seeing that this blow failed, Hirata did not hesitate, and stood up and slashed several times in a row, the knives and knives were interlocking, and they attacked Lao Zhu like waves, but Lao Zhu was like a reef on the shore, no matter the wind and waves, I stood still.

Hirata's many attacks were blocked by Lao Zhu's knife, whether it was front and back, left and right, or up and down, Hirata used his fastest speed to keep attacking, Lao Zhu just horizontally, vertically, gridded, and picked, and blocked Hirata three feet away, and even the pace of his feet did not move three feet. While beating Lao Zhu, he also commented on Hirata's moves.

"The connection of this place is good, and I quickly changed my moves to avoid my defense, and although it failed, the idea was good."

"You're slow to retract your knife here, and if I make a move now, you'll be seriously injured."

"Eh, this strength is okay......"

The more Hirata fought, the more hearty he became, and the more frightening he became. Don't look at Lao Zhu's usual appearance of a good old man complaining about the service, he is quite powerful when he fights. When Hirata attacked, Lao Zhu showed offensive tendencies several times, all when Hirata had not fallen and his strength was exerted, although it was just to scare Hirata a little, but Hirata was really scared out of a cold sweat.

Hey, Lao Zhu is too strong to be able to beat at all.

The results of this competition have been divided, although from the beginning Hirata knew that he was going to lose, but he didn't expect that even Lao Zhu's three-foot knife circumference could not break through...... Sure enough, it's still far from it.

Thinking of this, there is no point in obsessing about winning or losing. Hirata just wants to have a good time now, and Lao Zhu can't beat the flesh sandbag anyway......

It's actually quite sad.

"Lao Zhu! Try my new trick, this trick is something I just practiced, and I haven't fought it yet, so if I have a three-long and two-short, you can catch me! ”

Lao Zhu: "...... How cowardly you are! ”

Hirata is self-aware, knowing that Lao Zhu will definitely not be able to move, and it must be himself who has an accident, so he has made safety preparations in advance, but it sounds really cowardly.

Speaking of Hirata, his whole body strength was scattered and gathered, his expression was serious, and a majestic momentum surged from his body, ready to rush!

"Barren - heavy soil!"

After Hirata shouted the name of the move, Sister Chuan, who was playing soy sauce next to her, suddenly flashed her eyes, her eyes stared at Hirata, and she said to herself, "Barren...... I've even learned Xilin's tricks......"

Go back and look at the field. Hirata's face was dripping with sweat the size of a bean, and holding the long sword in his hand was like dragging a mountain, Hirata's body was slower than before, and the speed of the sword was also a little slower. There is no flashy action in this move, just a simple slash, but the slash is as heavy as a thousand pounds!

"Drink!" Hirata let out a loud shout and slashed out his sword with an invincible momentum!

Lao Zhu also showed a serious expression, holding the knife in front of him with both arms, and the flame lines on the knife lit up slightly, it seems that Lao Zhu also saw that this move was extraordinary.

"Whoa!"

The two knives intersected, and a wave of hot air burst out, blowing away the surrounding gravel and gravel. The two of them did not move, frozen together, but where the blades intersected, sparks kept bursting out, which showed the ferocity of the move.

"Bang...... Yes!! ”

In the end, Hirata was not as strong as Lao Zhu and flew out.

"Help~~~"

Sister Chuan appeared behind Hirata in a flash and stopped him, and fell to the ground with his hands under his ribs, Sister Chuan said: "How is it, are you injured?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Hirata shook twice to prove that he was still alive, "It's just that the body is a little numb, just run two laps to warm up in a while." Hirata raised his hand and pointed to the ground, "I said, can you put me down first?" It's weird and uncomfortable. ”

As soon as Sister Chuan let go, there was a "bang" and Hirata was planted headfirst to the ground.

"You can't just tap it, hey! I'm a firecracker! ”

"No way, I'm just so understanding. Especially this kind of request, I have always been responsive. ”

"You're a ghost......"

Hirata struggled on the ground for a long time before standing up, trembling, and didn't know whether it was weak legs or anger, and glanced at Sister Chuan with disdain. Sister Chuan reciprocated with a kind smile - it would be better if there was no electric light in her hand ==.

At this time, Lao Zhu also came over, and he asked Hirata: "How is it, are you injured?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Hirata sighed as he moved his body, "It's too far away, it's so weak......"

"Hehe, it's okay, you'll have a long time in the future." Lao Zhu spoke out to comfort Hirata.

"Hey, forget it." Hirata is not a sentimental person, "Then I'll find a place to practice first, I'm embarrassed today." After saying that, he found a place to practice his sword.

After Hirata walked away, Sister Chuan said to Lao Zhu, "How is it?" ”

"The talent is excellent, it can be said that I have only seen it in my life, and I used three different types of sword moves, especially the last move, which actually forced me to turn on [immovable] and take a step back."

"I don't know much about the previous moves, it should be Qin Zuo and Lao Cheng's sword moves, but the last move is Xilin's [Barren]."

"Oh? I see, if you say so...... Lao Zhu couldn't help but glance at Hirata in the distance, "Three months to learn three different types of swordsmanship, this can no longer be described by the only life see, it can only be said that it was born for the sword, and the human sword is one~~~"

"Yes, I'm a little shaken again......" Sister Chuan ignored the slots in Lao Zhu's words, and looked at Hirata from afar, watching him stretch out his arms and shake his legs to move his body, "Maybe this time is really different from the past." ”
