Chapter 14: Monster City
Hirata was speechless as he looked at the bloody eyes, and the smell of the fish in his nose made his whole body weak. Hirata sat down slowly on the sofa with his hands, staring at the ceiling with his eyes on the ceiling, breathing hard and making a sound of "Hachi" and "Hachi". It took him a while to recover his spirits, and he watched Lao Cheng busy working on the side for a long time without speaking.
When the people in the house were all dismembered, Lao Cheng put away his sword and took out a camera to take pictures in this room (in order to prove that it was in the office of the Zhang gang leader, and to avoid the bloody scene), and then took a few close-ups of the Zhang gang leader's rolling head, and finally cut off his ears and kept them.
Feeling that Hirata was looking at him, Lao Cheng said to Hirata while he was busy, "Why do you keep looking at me?" Do you think I'm too bloody and cruel? ”
"Well, what do you say?" Hirata sighed and turned his head to look at the ceiling, "I can't say cruelty, but it's a little bloody - it's the first time I've seen so much blood, and I'm a little dizzy." The most important thing is that your opinion of Lao Cheng has changed a little. ”
"Oh, what change?"
"Five minutes ago, I thought you were a nice person - even if you told me to kill someone in the morning, I didn't change my mind. Now...... I think you're a person who knows right from wrong. Or maybe 5 minutes ago I thought you were a good guy, and now I think you're a pure man. Hirata thought for a moment and replied.
"Oh? Right and wrong? Pure gentlemen? Lao Cheng finished his work and walked towards Hirata, "Don't you think I killed those forty thugs indiscriminately?" ”
"Killing them is also indiscriminate killing? Not many died at their hands. Hirata snorted, and at the same time got up from the sofa and moved his hands and feet, "Heavenly Dao cycle, retribution is not happy." Those guys will die in their own hands sooner or later, Lao Cheng, you can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven. ”
"Hahahaha, it's funny, you're funny. Now let's withdraw first, and we'll talk later. Lao Cheng said as he raised his hand and slashed the window with a sword, looking down not far from the ground, and looking up to see that there were some low bungalows all around, and the location of this secret casino was actually in a slum on the outskirts of the city. The two of them came to this casino from the basement, but this casino is obviously not all underground, it should be a half-entry building, and from the outside it looks just a tall bungalow, who would have thought that there are thousands of people squandering money under this room!
"Let's go." Lao Cheng greeted and jumped down first, and Hirata followed suit. As soon as they landed, the two of them rushed in one direction, and soon disappeared into the night......
In the next few days, X City ushered in chaos, many gangsters fought to grab territory, and the police took this opportunity to dispatch a large number of police forces to eliminate many gangsters in X City in one fell swoop, solve the cancer of X City, and make people happy, but this is all a story for later.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Lao Cheng, where are we going?" The two were walking down an old street, and Hirata asked the old town.
The two left the casino and ran all the way in one direction, running non-stop for more than half an hour, if it weren't for Hirata who was not an ordinary person now, he would probably be able to fold on the road. Just as Hirata was about to hit the street, Lao Cheng finally slowed down, and then walked into a strange place from an alley.
Why is it strange? Because this place is obviously a city, and it is not far from the city of X, to be exact, it is only a wall, but there is no one. Hirata and Lao Cheng have been walking in this city for a while without seeing a single person, there are all the facilities that the city should have, and there are all the buildings that should be, but it looks like they have been for years.
As the two of them went deeper and deeper into the city, Hirata began to see some of the destroyed facilities (roads, street lights), and some of the destroyed buildings: those buildings were of all kinds, some of them were torn in half; It was like it had been blown up by a bomb to reveal a large hole; There are also cracks like lettering, in short, all kinds of destruction, and the deeper you go, the more destroyed buildings there are.
It stands to reason that Hirata has no reason not to know such a strange city? And it's right next to City X, so why isn't there an impression?
"This is where Lao Lu works, and it is a gathering place for monsters: Monster City." While Hirata was still thinking nonsense, Makoto spoke.
"Monster City? What a place. What is Lu Dashen doing here? ”
"Huh? It seems that Miss Ping didn't tell you about work. Lao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "You know that Miss Ping is the guardian of Z City, but in fact, her main job is to take care of the hell stronghold in Z City, so that the soul recovery work can go smoothly. Lao Lu is the same, he is the guardian of X City, but his main job is to defend this [Monster City]. ”
Hearing Lao Cheng call Sister "Miss Ping" Hirata, I wanted to laugh: What kind of lady is that? It's okay to call the guys...... Huh? Lao Cheng can't mean it the other way, right?
Lao Cheng didn't know what dirty content Hirata had made up in his head, and then said: "There are many monsters in this place [Monster City], most of them are more dangerous, if you leave it alone, you will go out and threaten the lives of the people, Lao Lu's task is to take care of this place and prevent those monsters from going out to commit crimes - simply put, it is a piece of police." ”
"Oh~ I see. But ...... "Hirata made a [It's that simple?] Looking at the old city, "But why don't I have any impression of this place?" I haven't seen a report on TV, so I don't think I've forgotten to see that the scope here is so large, right? What the hell is going on? ”
"This was originally a new urban development area, but then there were frequent monsters here, so your organization decided to close this place and send people to guard it." Lao Cheng saw that Hirata didn't know anything, so he made it clear all at once, "Luca has set up a super-large hidden formation here to cover the entire city, so that people can't notice this place - it's the wall we saw when we came......"
Hirata recalls that there really was a wall, and it was only after that wall that he realized the difference.
"Then people moved out of the city and forgot about it. The people who live outside also have no memories of this place at all. Lao Cheng paused for a moment to let Hirata digest the information, "The end is that this new city attached to City X has completely disappeared from people's minds, and all ordinary people can't realize the existence of this city." ”
"Now I completely understand, it's the same place I stayed in Z City, but the scope is larger."
"yes, that's what it means, okay, we're here." The two stopped, in front of them was an intact building, ten stories high, Lao Cheng pointed to the top room and said: "This is where Lao Lu lives, in the center of Monster City, but during this time, Lao Lu is not there, there are others on his behalf, etc., so I will introduce you to you, let's go up." ”
Lao Cheng took Hirata all the way upstairs, Hirata found that the electric lights in this building were still on, and Lao Cheng explained: "There are its own living facilities, water and electricity and everything - but cook by yourself, this doesn't matter." During this time, you will choose a room to live here. ”
The two of them continued to walk up to the top floor and did not stop until they reached the top of the floor through an opening. The moon was very big tonight, and it was not dark on the roof, and Hirata saw that there were a lot of things on it, some living furniture and supplies. A man sits on a recliner facing the city and looks at the scenery, next to a small round table with a few books and a glass of juice on it, and a large umbrella is put away behind the table.
Who am I going to be here! Basking in the moon on a big night? You're Hawaii!
Lao Cheng greeted the man; "Lao Qin, we're back."
The man got up from the recliner and greeted Lao Cheng: "Lao Cheng, you are back...... Huh...... The one next to him is the little brother Hirata. ”
Hirata looked at Lao Qin in front of him: a slightly lazy man, sleepy-eyed, wearing a pair of checkered pajamas, his hair was long and braided at the back of his head, and his beard was unkempt, yawning as he spoke.
"Oh, you're back, I'm asleep...... Haah......" Before he finished speaking, he yawned again, Lao Qin stretched his waist and then asked, "Lao Cheng, how are you, have things been settled?" ”
"Oh, it's over, it's not a problem." Lao Cheng patted Pingtian on the shoulder, "Oh, this little brother is the Pingtian mentioned by Lao Lu, I have tested it, and my physical and psychological qualities are very good." ”
Hirata Xin said that your method of measurement is curious: show me the corpse in person; I came out of the casino and ran all the way non-stop, what if I broke down on the road?
Lao Qin looked at Hirata and yawned: "Really...... Huh...... My name is Qin Zuo, and you can call me Lao Qin like Lao Cheng. Lao Lu is going to go on a business trip for a month, and I will take a month's shift, which means that I and Lao Cheng will teach you this month. Okay, let's talk about the rest of the details later, and solve the problem in front of us first. ”
"Oh? What's the problem at hand? Hirata asked.
Lao Qin walked to the recliner, picked up his saber from the side, and looked in one direction (yawning at the same time): "Haah...... Someone's coming. ”
Hirata followed Lao Qin's gaze and found that there was a black shadow jumping from the top of the building quickly, a little far away, Hirata couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but his body seemed to be very tall.
"What's coming? It doesn't look easy to deal with. Hirata asked Lao Qin.
"Who knows, there's so much weirdness here." Lao Qin said and pulled the saber out of the scabbard, Hirata carefully looked at Lao Qin's saber: the scabbard was light blue throughout, with a beautiful shape, with a cloud-shaped pattern, a golden Watanabe at the edge, about the width of the palm, and a light blue hilt. The blade is snow-white, with a round gauntlet, with cloud-shaped knife patterns on it, the length reaches the waist, and when the knife is drawn out of the sheath, you can see a flash of light in the moonlight.
Just as everyone was chatting (?) At that time, a loud voice like thunder came from afar: "Lu Xilin's child!" Get out of here! He spoke from a dark shadow that had just been invisible, and he was standing on the top of a building opposite the crowd, condescending to everyone. Hirata finally saw the person clearly, to be precise, the "beast": the lion-headed human body, fierce and vicious, with two fangs at the corners of the mouth, wearing a large vest and shorts, all the exposed skin has a layer of mane, less hair on the chest of the limbs, about four meters high, a body of muscles, not a human at first glance!
The lion man stood on the edge of the stage with his hands on his chest and yelled down: "If you don't come out, I'll pinch these three people to death, get out of here!" ”
"Eh, yes, it's noisy." Lao Qin stepped forward, "Lao Lu is not here, I will lead the class." Who are you? What's the matter? It's okay to go back to your nest, don't come out and make trouble. ”
"This king is the king of the lion and tiger clan, and Lu Xilin, that bastard killed more than 400 people of our clan! I'm here for revenge! The lion man yelled at Lao Qin with his loud voice, "You say! Where's that bastard! I'm going to kill him and sacrifice him to my people!" ”
The lionman's roar shook Hirata's ears deafening, and after listening to the lionman's words, Hirata was stunned, he remembered that Lu Dashen was not such a murderous person? He rubbed his ears and asked Lao Cheng: "Why is Lu Dashen killing people, how many people are in the family?" What's going on, honest, do you know? ”
Lao Cheng: "Let's put it simply, the Lion Tiger Clan eats people." ”
Hirata said to Lao Qin: "Lao Qin will kill him!" ”
Lao Qin said to the lion man in a lazy tone: "Okay, okay, don't roar, it's noisy." Lao Lu is not here, I don't bother to say anything else, come over and let me be you, and your grievance will be over. ”
The green tendons on the lion king's head burst out, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Roar!! Damn, you dare to fool me! Let's use the blood of the three of you to sacrifice the flag to my people! After speaking, he roared and rushed straight towards Lao Qin's people.
The lion man is good at roaring, the wrist strength is very strong, and the lion king is one of the best, the lion king swooped down with his right fist tightened behind him, and the left fist stretched forward to protect his chest, the whole person is as fast as a cannonball!
Looking at Lao Qin again, he took a few steps forward, then jumped up sharply and rushed straight towards the lionman. Lao Qin's speed is not fast, and he is far from the lion king, and he can see clearly with Hirata's eyesight, but the lion king only has an afterimage. After Lao Qin flew into the air, he held the knife above his head with both hands, which seemed to be a downward slashing action.
"Will this work?" Hirata was puzzled in his heart, although he had absolute confidence in Lao Qin, it seemed that the Lion King was superior!
It was slow but fast, and at this moment, the two met in the air, "Roar! Roar! Die, humans! The Lion King shouted, and at the same time, his right fist rushed out to Lao Qin's chest, and at this time, Lao Qin's sword had not yet been cut off!
With a "swish", the two staggered, Lao Qin turned around in the air and stepped a few times and returned to the place where he had just stood, while the lion king came down from the air and landed in front of Lao Qin. At this time, he slowly turned to face Lao Qin, looked at Lao Qin with an incredible expression, and muttered in his mouth, "Impossible...... That's impossible...... You...... cough cough ......" Before he finished speaking, blood gushed out of his mouth, and then a red blood line appeared in the center of his body, and blood spurted out, and the lion king was split in two from the middle.
(⊙o⊙)!
"I'm wiping it! What just happened? Hirata, who witnessed the whole process, was stunned, he saw the lion king punch into Lao Qin's chest, and then Lao Qin's sword slashed at the lion king, but why did the lion king die?
What's going on? Let's rewind the time to when the two made a move: at the moment when the two met and the lion king punched, Lao Qin suddenly flashed and disappeared from in front of the lion king, and the lion king hit only the afterimage left in his eyes. When the Lion King's fist was exhausted and he had nothing to support, Lao Qin appeared in front of the Lion King again, and slashed down with a knife without hurry, splitting it into two. Because both of them are fast, rookies like Hirata don't know what's going on. (Hirata: Hey!) )
After Hirata knew the whole process (Lao Cheng explained), Lao Qin also joined Hirata [Wow! This guy is amazing! list. Well, in fact, except for Daquan, everyone who knows Hirata has added ......
After killing the Lion King, several small octopus-shaped robots came out of nowhere, which scared Hirata. As soon as those little robots appeared, they began to clean up the scene, and Lao Qin signaled Hirata not to be nervous: "These are housework robots, usually responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the building, don't be afraid." Saying that, Lao Qin shook off the blood with a flick of the blade, put the knife into the sheath, and said to Hirata: "Okay, the problem is solved, let's continue to talk." Oda, let's get along well in the next month. ”
Hirata smiled: "Hey, no problem, I'm impatient now." ”
