Chapter 354: Piercing the Heart
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection!) )
When Salamander had just floated to a height of ten meters, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the side, and he fell straight from above and fell headlong into the ground.
All this happened too suddenly, and before Lu Su could react, a team of people had already hurried over, the demon slayers in black suits, Dai Xue, Kinoshita Cicada, and Yan Butterfly. Dai Xue said to them, "Catch them alive!" Move fast. ”
The salamander who was hit was struggling on the ground, and it was obvious that Dai Xue did it if he could hit it so far but not be fatal. A strong man dragged Salamander up from the ground, bullets pierced through his neck, blood gushed out, and the unwilling Salamander was about to launch the "Shadow King", when suddenly a magic talisman was attached to his eyes, and a few small pebbles that had just floated fell back to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Lu Su stopped in front of the three of them, and Dai Xue said without changing his face: "He is an important subordinate of the natural injury, we have to torture the information!" ”
"Torture?" Lu Su took a look at the team, there was no demon in it, it stands to reason that Chu Qianque, who cooperated with Dai Xue, should follow her. He didn't know what was going on, but looking at Yan Die's expression, it seemed that he had separated all his companions, and his intentions seemed a little ambiguous.
"If you have anything to ask, I'll ask him!" Lu Su said.
"No, you get out of the way!" Yan Qidie said, "Let's do this dirty work." ”
"Don't listen to them, they want my demon skills......" Lam Min had just shouted this sentence when suddenly a demon slayer stepped forward and punched him, causing him to bleed from his mouth and unable to speak again. Salamander, who had not devoured the demon corpse, was extremely slow to repair, and the wound on his neck was still bleeding at all.
"You want to drain his demon spirit and make him a demon soldier?" Lu Su asked, his eyes went back and forth on the faces of the three of them, and finally landed on the face of the cicada under the wood.
He avoided Lu Su's gaze a little embarrassed, but he was not afraid of it, and he still looked indifferent.
"Answer me!" Lu Su said word by word, because of the anger his voice trembled a little.
"We have a secret order, and the super-S-level 'Shadow King' must be ......," Kinoshita Cicada said.
"Don't tell him!" Yan Butterfly interrupted his words and turned to Lu Su coldly, "You get out of the way!" ”
"What about the agreement we said, in this war, you have no right to capture any demon alive!"
"Don't be stupid, this is an order from above, and I must carry it out."
Lu Su pressed his trembling fists: "Then pass me first." ”
"Do you think I won't dare to do anything to you?"
When the saber was rattling, Kinoshita Cicada played a round field: "Lu Su, eat the king's Lu, share the worries for the king...... After all, we are demon slayers, and we have done this kind of dirty work in places you can't see, so don't be rash. ”
Lu Su took a step back, as if he didn't want to be touched by Kinoshita Cicada: "I won't agree!" ”
"Want to rebel? Goblin! Yan Butterfly said coldly, "Get out of the way for me!" ”
This ugly reality that suddenly surfaced made Lu Su tremble, and his heart began to struggle violently. Seeing his hesitation, several demon slayer masters bypassed Lu Su and locked Salamander Min with iron chains, and in the process he struggled, making a resisting sound from his mouth, and the sound poked Lu Su's heart like a thorn.
His body trembled, filled with anger and shame, when Yan Chop Butterfly and Kinoshita Cicada walked past him, past Salamander, and then Dai Xue also walked past him.
Suddenly, he did something that no one expected, Lu Su ripped off the sniper rifle behind Dai Xue, held it in his arms, and shot it at Lamander's head.
A gunshot rang out, and the heavens and the earth changed color. This shot not only pierced Lamander's head and killed him, but also hit the strong man behind him who was holding him tightly, and the two of them fell softly together. …,
Yan Butterfly suddenly seemed to be chelated, pulled out his knife and aimed it at Lu Su, and roared angrily: "What are you doing!" ”
"Kill me, from now on, we are enemies!" Lu Su pointed the gun at him while retreating, he knew that after making this decision, many things would be wasted, but no matter what, this bottom line could not be compromised.
The sniper rifle was in a state of imminent fire, and at this moment it was pointing at Yan Chopping Butterfly's head, and his knife was also accumulating strength, and it would spew out red sword qi at any time. Both of them had murderous intent burning in their eyes, and they both seriously wanted to kill each other!
This scene also frightened everyone present, some people were gritting their teeth and looking at Lu Su, looking at the guy who had just killed their companion, the relationship between the alliance seemed to be about to collapse in an instant, and these demon slayers still showed the face of the enemy after all.
Seeing that the stalemate could not be calmed down, Kinoshita Cicada did something extremely bold, he stood between the two of them, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "Both, put down your weapons first, and listen to me." ”
Without giving in, Kinoshita Cicada sighed and pressed their knives and guns with both hands: "The matter has come to this, just treat this demon as if you were killed in battle, Captain Yan, don't be obsessed, Lu Su, please take a step back." At present, the great enemy is fighting, and no one will have a good time. ”
Yan Diedie's anger did not subside, and just as he wanted to say something, Kinoshita Cicada signaled him not to continue. Then he walked up to Lu Su, patted him on the back, and grabbed his gun with the other and threw it back to Dai Xue.
These words finally turned the big thing into a small thing, and the relationship between the alliance was not broken because of the other party's breach of the contract and Lu Su's shooting of his companion, but Lu Su's heart was as sad as a thorn in his heart.
Kinoshita Cicada patted him away from everyone, and the people over there began to clean up the mess, Kinoshita Cicada said: "I know that you don't feel good when you see your kind of people being treated like this, but if it weren't for this kind of thing, this organization wouldn't have developed to this day at all, and it is impossible to have the strength to resist natural injuries." ”
"Are you not inflicted on yourselves? Isn't the fall of City N enough? Do you still want to create demon soldiers and create hatred? ”
Kinoshita Cicada smiled: "You can hate the organization, hate us, but please focus on the overall situation...... Speaking of which, neither Captain Yan nor I are willing to do this kind of dirty work, but many things are unavoidable. ”
Lu Su glanced at him: "I want to ask you something, please answer me honestly, the natural injury is also in your plan?" ”
Kinoshita Cicada was silent for a moment, as if he was also fighting in his heart, probably realizing that he could no longer hide anything in Lu Su's direct eyes, he nodded slightly.
"I'm going to get ahead of you and kill the Heavenly Wounds!"
"If you can, please do it." Kinoshita Cicada smiled sincerely, "Then Captain Yan and I may be dismissed, maybe we can be friends as ordinary people in the future." ”
The remnant sun spread like blood on the grass, and Salamander's body lay there, her hair trembling softly in the night breeze. The dead demon corpse didn't make sense to the demon slayer, so they didn't bother with it, but just disposed of the corpse of their companion.
Thanks to this scene that just happened, he got a glimpse of the hidden tricks of the organization. In fact, whether it is a butterfly or a cicada under Kinoshita, each demon slayer is a living person, with his own independent will and emotions, but the "organization" is like a ghost attached to them, as long as this uniform is not taken off, at some moment, they will turn into the cogs of the huge machine of organization, ruthlessly and coldly crush everything, and mercilessly carry out the tasks of the upper echelons.
The organization is an invisible existence, but it is made up of these people...... Be on your guard against these people at all times.
Lu Su walked towards Salamander's corpse, Kinoshita Cicada followed him, looking at the dead Salamander, he couldn't help but feel a relative, when Salamander left, his eyes were indeed a little hesitant. Maybe Salamander will really leave N City, leave this war, and live peacefully from now on. But after thinking about it, it seems to be an impossible thing, not to mention that he will not give up following the heavenly injury, with super S-level demon skills, he may never be able to live peacefully, and he is not guilty, but he is guilty. …,
"Can you do me a favor?" Lu Su said.
"Yes!" Kinoshita Cicada tore off the magic talisman on Salamander's eyes for him, and Lu Su wiped off Salamander's wide open eyes and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't be a demon in the next life." ”
"Not going to eat him?" Kinoshita said.
Lu Su shook his head: "The attributes are different." ”
Not in a position to bury Salamander's body, he copied several demon umbrellas to cover him, and pressed the ends with crushed stones. Although this is somewhat insincere, after three days, Salamander's body will disappear, and the replica demon umbrella will disappear at the same time...... In the end, nothing will be left.
Lu Su picked up the real demon umbrella, put it away and carried it behind his back, maybe he could use it later.
The team over there was ready to go, and Dai Xue shouted to the two people here: "Ready to go." ”
"It's coming!"
The two walked over, Yan Butterfly deliberately didn't look at Lu Su, those demon slayer masters also seemed to keep a distance from him, and only Dai Xue and Kinoshita Cicada had the same attitude towards him. In any case, the gap between the two parties is slowly emerging.
When he just left the park, there was a sudden noise in front, and he saw Jin Duan and Insect Ting and they were walking over, Jin Duan saw Lu Su head-on, and rushed into his arms excitedly, he hugged Jin Duan and turned around and put it down.
"Hey, you don't know how good I was just now!" Jin Duan said, "By the way, my skirt is broken, help me fix it." ”
"Got it!"
At this time, the two teams had come together, although there were a lot of losses, but the main combat power was all here, and at this time the sky was completely dark, and Lu Su vaguely felt that the real dark battle was about to begin.
"Guys, the battle will be very hard in the future, we are going to the underground base now and fight a duel with the heavenly wounds!"
"Oh!" The demon slayer shouted.
"Lu Su, what's wrong with you, sullen. What's wrong? Jin Duan carefully noticed that Lu Su's expression was different, and her words also alarmed everyone, and they looked at him together, the old man was completely unaware, and Dai Xue was afraid that he would tell what had just happened.
Lu Su smiled: "It's nothing, the fight just now was too hard, tired." ”
This secret, now is not the time to reveal it, he decided to hide it in his heart first, and then tell it when everything is over.
355 Base Entrance
After the group of people had met, they counted the number of people, fifty-three people died, ten people who were seriously injured and could not move, and ten people were left to send out the remnants of the five teams, and only twenty-seven people remained. In addition to Wang Wu's mecha, fortunately, there are no fewer main members, Jin Duan and Lu Su were the most injured, but fortunately, Jin Duan swallowed a demon, and now his body is safe and sound, and even his clothes are fine.
After all, N City is an ancient city, not all high-rise buildings, but also antique buildings, and more than 100 years old plane trees. Along the way, I occasionally encountered some humanoid bats and mechanical golems, but they were easily settled, and it was really a sinful thing to fight in this kind of place with the flavor of an ancient city, and I don't know if the natural injury also understands this, so there are few obstacles along the way.
At seven o'clock, they entered an ancient building complex, there was a ticket collection point at the door, it was actually a tourist attraction, Lu Su looked up at the words on the plaque, and said in surprise: "This is the General Dong Mansion?" ”
"Hah, let's do it for the first time." Dai Xue said.
"The entrance to the underground base is here? You've gone too far, aren't you? ”
"It's a long story......," Dai Xue looked at the butterfly, the latter nodded, and she turned to the crowd, "Let's rest here for a while." ”
The General Dong Mansion used to be the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, then occupied by Changmaozi, and later returned to the residence of the Great General Dong, which is a place that has witnessed the rise and fall of several generations of history. The front is a group of ancient buildings, and the back is a small western-style building in the Republic of China, with a total area of amazingly large. The nervous crowd rushed in excitedly, and these "thugs" rushed directly into the ancient building, lay down on the bed to sleep, or sat on the top of the public hall and pretended to be the prefect. …,
Lu Su slapped his forehead: "Leave something for future generations." ”
"It's a rare time, let's take a look around." Kinoshita said.
"I'm going to find Jinduan!"
Lu Su shook off the Kinoshita cicada, but she didn't go to find Jinduan, she and Worm Ting didn't know where to go crazy. Lu Su found the old man, who was sitting and smoking in a small courtyard at the moment, and when he saw Lu Su coming in, he beckoned and said, "Boy, give me some wine and food." ”
"Haven't you ever eaten a nutrition bar?"
"You mean that kind of long moon cakes? It's hard to eat, come on, get me a table to eat. ”
"There are no doors!"
It's not difficult to copy delicious food, but there are so many people, and if you supply them one by one, your own demonic power will not be enough. What's more, he is looking for the old man now for something else.
After making sure that there was no one around, Lu Su said to the old man in a low voice: "They want to capture the heavenly wounds alive!" ”
"Huh? Seriously? ”
Lu Su told him what had just happened, and after listening to it, the old man bit his pipe and groaned, Lu Su didn't plan to tell them about this matter for the time being. If Jin Duan knew that he would definitely tear his face immediately, and even do something out of the ordinary, this kind of thing is too complicated for Insect Ting, and it is incompatible with her sense of justice, God knows what childish actions she will make, as for Chu Qianque, telling him is equivalent to telling everyone with a loudspeaker...... So now the only person who can be consulted is the old man.
"Boy, what do you think?"
"We'll get ahead of them......" Lu Su was just about to speak, when the old man suddenly motioned for him to silence and pointed upwards with his pipe. I saw a few sparrows standing on the roof tiles.
Eavesdropped on by Yibi!?
At this time, there was a sudden sound of wings fluttering in the sky, and Yi Bi fell in front of the two: "I'm really sorry, I was originally scouting the situation nearby, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”
"Just keep your mouth shut!" The old man said, "But those who see it have a share, and if you know about it, you can also do it a favor." ”
"No problem, when I see the heavenly injury, I will help you kill him."
"For the time being, only the three of us know about it." Lu Su said, "Now it's clear that the team will fall apart." ”
"You're still scheming, little ghost!" Yi Bi smiled and said, "I know what to endure and what to be angry about." ”
"If it's possible, who wants to hold their breath!"
"Actually, it's not been a day or two for those demon slayers to do this kind of dirty work, and the ability to be injured by the sky must not be taken away by them, otherwise the consequences will be even more troublesome. I'll help you then. ”
"Thank you!"
"Big Bird!" The old man looked at her suddenly, "Can we really trust you?" ”
"To this day, don't you still see me as a companion? Dead old man! ”
The old man sneered, didn't speak again, and Yibi flew away with a "whew". It seems that tonight will be very dangerous, after the decisive battle of the heavenly injury, it is likely to be the enemy of this group of demon slayers, a feeling of powerlessness oppresses in Lu Su's heart, can he really spend this night safely?
After leaving the old man, a man walked back from the corridor, and suddenly Jin Duan pounced on him from the side and hugged him: "Villain, what are you doing?" ”
"See a girl."
"Whoever believes, it depends on you! What do you see here? Jin Duan proudly raised a saber and drew a few inches, with the words "Zhongzheng Sword" engraved on it.
"Damn, you got the artifacts out?"
"Huh? Cultural relic? Are there artifacts in a glass case? ”
"What do you think?"
"Who's in it?"
"It's a big beauty, put it back......"
"Hey, look at the sword!"
After Jin Xuan, he jumped a step and stabbed the sword again and again while learning the movements of Western fencing, this saber that was originally used for decoration was not strong at all, and it was actually stabbed off all at once.
"Zhongzheng is going to be angry, haha!"
"Come, give it to me." …,
Lu Su took the broken sword in his hand, and after repairing it, he pulled the brocade to put it back in its place, and the brocade duan said, "The worm is playing with Yixian's cane?" Sue, who is Yatsen? ”
"Jiao, why don't you set fire to this place."
"That's what you said!"
"Don't ...... Don't take it seriously. ”
Put back the cultural relics, the two went to find Insect Ting, and when they walked through the courtyard into the small western-style building behind, the clear glow of the moonlight fell on the surrounding flower lawns, and both of them slowed down, as if they wanted to make up for the lost time due to the life-and-death battle.
Lu Su squeezed Jin's broken hand and said softly, "No matter what happens tonight, be with me, you know?" ”
"I'm going to pester you tonight and beyond." Jin Duan said with a smile, holding his arm.
"Fool!" Being mistaken by her, Lu Su simply didn't say anything, and reached out to slap it heavily on Jinduan's buttocks, and she immediately reacted violently and jumped up: "Ah, bastard!" ”
"You can pat me on the back."
"Cut!"
Lu Su suddenly stopped, looked at the moon above his head, it happened to be a full moon tonight, and he said, "Jinduan, have we fallen deeper and deeper?" ”
"Huh?" Jin Duan turned his face in confusion and looked at him quietly.
"I've almost forgotten when I said it, and I just want to live in peace. But from the very beginning to the present, instead of being calm, we have gone farther and farther, experiencing more and more life and death......" he turned his face, "I am not afraid of such a life, but the tree is big, we are getting stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more dangers, maybe one day one of us will die." I'm thinking......" he paused slightly, and said hesitantly, "when this is over, let's hide in a place where no one knows us, and we can live a good life, live in peace, and don't care about anything." ”
After listening to his words, Jin Duan smiled knowingly, and tapped Lu Su's forehead with his slender index finger: "It turns out that you also have times when you are weak." ”
"Yes."
She sighed lightly: "When we really escape from everything and live a peaceful life, maybe you will find that it is not what you want at all, because you are not the kind of person who can be content with the status quo in your bones!" ”
"Am I still ambitious?"
"No, no one has forced you to get to this point, everything is your own choice! Sue, the biggest difference between you and others is that you have a pair of eyes that can see everything, and you will not be afraid to choose, even if you don't find out yourself, in fact, you are the one who has been at the forefront. ”
"Really? What if one day I go wrong? ”
"Even if you become the enemy of the whole world, I will follow you!" Jin Duan said softly, but this sentence instantly touched Lu Su's heart, hit the softest acupoint in his heart, and a feeling that was about to cry came up.
He was speechless for a long time, looking at Jin Duan's eyes like a clear spring: "Thank you!" ”
"You're welcome, who called me the most favorite person in the world?" Jin Duan said with a smile.
The momentary weakness was swept away, and Lu Su said, "You also have a very wise time." ”
"Where? I'm a fool, and I don't know what I'd be without you...... As the one who is ahead of me, please correct me from time to time, who knows when I will make mistakes. ”
"Remember! When it's all over, is there a place you want to play? ”
"Well, come buy clothes for me for the day."
"Still buying clothes?"
"Autumn clothes, you see my clothes can't be worn in the fall!"
"Got it!"
At this time, Yibi flew over her head, saw the two of them and she hovered there, and said, "Assemble, basement." ”
"Basement? There's a basement here? ”
"Just go south."
The two hurried through this flower bed, although it was said to be south, but this complex was house by house, and it was not easy to find somewhere. Finally the two jumped onto the house and ran straight to that side, and when they saw a group of people standing there in the distance, they jumped down.
The basement is an underground evacuation shelter where the dignitaries of N City were said to have taken refuge when they were bombed by airplanes. Seeing the two coming, Worm Ting turned her head, and actually wore a red top from the Qing Dynasty on her head: "Look, is it good-looking?" ”
"Like a eunuch!" Lu Su knocked her on the head through the hat, then took off the hat and threw it on the windowsill on the side, "Don't touch these cultural relics, it's too unqualified?" ”
"Sister Jin, he beat me."
"Children don't have a long memory." Jin Duan said with a smile.
There was a lot of noise in the basement, and suddenly the crowd separated, and Dai Xue came out and said, "Everyone, let's go down." ”
"Go down? Is this really the entrance to the underground base? ”
"You'll find out when you come down."
