(7) Eruption!
.......
When school was out in the afternoon, Ji Ran was still walking alone. Suddenly hit by a person. "I'm sorry," the man turned around and explained as he ran, "I heard that something happened ahead, let's go take a look," and the man next to him implied and ran away.
After a few steps, the entrance to a wide alley was surrounded by a crowd of people, with some crowds watching the excitement on the outside, and some police officers rushing to the police on the inside, who carried their shields in their hands and slowly pushed inside. "I heard there's something scary in there."
"yes. But I can't see it here."
"I've heard there are a lot of people in there. β
"Guys, please step back. Wait, what's the danger, there's no way we can take care of you. β
"Headquarters, can't help come yet? We've tried our best to keep the monster in the alley, but there are still a lot of people inside who haven't come out. β
People kept running out of it, all with frightened expressions on their faces. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are detectives of the Green Field, we must ensure your safety, please cooperate. At this time, several more detectives came and stopped the crowd more than forty meters from the entrance of the alley. "Please don't move. β
"Ahh
Suddenly there was an explosion and a scream in the alley. Ji Ran suddenly stopped in place, and his feet stopped. "This voice... Yes.." His head began to heat up rapidly, and he quickly searched for the owner of the familiar voice. Suddenly, he dropped everything he had on him and jumped through the crowd and rushed into the alley. The shield-wielding SWAT tried to stop him. "No, I can't. Can't get in. β
His figure flashed and jumped over the high wall on the side. The SWAT officers simply had no way of catching up. "Go on. Slow Forward"
"Is this man dying?"
Ji Ran's whole body was hot, and he ran desperately, panting heavily. "Yu Chang!"
Standing in front of him was a tall human lion-faced monster, more than nine feet tall, huge in size, like a small hill towering, two arms like a heavy hammer, and it felt like the surrounding houses would collapse if they were knocked at will.
"Ahh
The monster's right hand gripped Yu Chang tightly, as if to break his waist. Screaming again, "Ji Ran.... You.. Yes!... What are you doing here... Run!!"
Ji Ran stood in place and clenched his fists. "I... Of course I'm here to save you."
The figure jumped and threw a flashbang into the monster's eye, which Ji Ran had drawn from the waist of a police detective when he rushed in just now. The monster was caught off guard and let go of his hand by covering his eyes, Ji Ran steadily caught the falling Yu Chang, and the two ran towards the entrance. The monster roared angrily, its chest swollen like a giant bomb ready to explode at any moment, and the monster's eyes were full of blood, and it quickly galloped over.
At this time, the SWAT array also happened to arrive, and was shocked by the monster in front of him. "This...."
"Monster .."
"Why are you here?"
"I was also passing by here, seeing that there was danger inside, so I went in to help, I didn't expect to encounter such a monster's raid, this monster's strength is very strong, we are not its opponent. Yu Chang said calmly. "Let's get out first."
"Not yet, you see that the guards outside are all ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to stop this monster. I will try to hold this monster back and avoid more casualties and losses. Ji Ran replied very seriously.
Yu Chang knew that he couldn't persuade him, thinking that he must go out and call a helper first, so that it would be the best for Ji Ran. "Then be careful. That monster has strange eyes..."
"Eyes?!"
"Being looked at by his eyes always feels like I'm weak, as if something has sucked your qi away, just now this monster stood behind me and I couldn't even move my legs" Yu Chang felt ashamed and slapped his thigh hard.
Ji Ran dodged the bricks thrown by the monster while running. "Okay, I see, I'll leave it to me!"
Although Yu Chang really wants to stay and help Ji Ran now, his situation at this time is even a little difficult to walk, and staying will only be a burden.
After seeing Yu Chang being taken out by the police detective, Ji Ran was relieved.
As soon as I turned around, I only felt a chill down my spine, and my legs suddenly seemed to be poured with lead stones, sinking like a rock. I vaguely felt a pair of blood-colored red eyes behind me staring at him tightly, like a prey to be hunted, and a sense of depression rose abruptly.
A huge black shadow struck like a hurricane, rolling up the sand and gravel on the ground.
The huge fist crushed Ji Ran to the ground, and the iron rod in his hand bent severely. "This monster... Shh It's a lot of strength! Fortunately, it's all ruins, and I can touch this steel bar, otherwise I would have been beaten into a lump of mud by it before I saw it!"
The monster roared, and then its fist increased its strength, and it pressed down all at once, and the steel bar was bent instantly. The fist slammed Ji Ran's right hand into the ground, and there was a crackling sound. Ji Ran felt a pain in his brain, and then he couldn't feel his right hand anymore.
"Ahh
The detectives wanted to help very much, but their task was to evacuate the masses, and if they were tough, it would only cause unnecessary trouble to Ji Ran.
"Hurry up and get out!!"
Ji Ran's eyes were wide open, bloodshot. The right hand was a blur of flesh and blood. Slowly stood up, protruding from the side of the monster, a long black knife appeared, Ji Ran jumped high, dodged the monster's bulky attack in the air, stepped on his shoulders with both feet, and stabbed down with his left hand. The monster covered its eyes and took a few steps back. "Ahh
Strike while the iron is hot, and there is a weapon left by the previous security officer on the side, so I pick it up. Fortunately, I have some understanding of weapons first, and it is relatively easy to use.
The knife in his hand danced, and cold light pierced into the flesh, splattering blood. The monster's fist slammed into the ground, and there was a violent shake, and then, the ground bulged like a ravine and then slowly cracked, and like a fault, part of it was uplifted and part of it was sinking, Ji Ran didn't stand firm and was caught by the monster and punched into the wall with a backhand. "Bang!"
"Ahem..."There was a burning sensation all over his body, his chest was stuffy, and the direction of the airflow became disordered.
A mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth.
The monster walked up to him, its huge figure blocking out the light. "What's the matter, my body's ability to resist blows shouldn't be so much, why can't I move" In fact, at this time, Ji Ran's body had already broken several ribs, and his muscles were also seriously torn, and every action was completely supported by the excitement given by adrenal hormones.
There was a crisp "click".
"Uh..."
A child stood behind the monster with tears in his eyes and stretched out his hand, cursing incessantly. "Fuck off. You monster..."
"Don't. Run!!" Ji Ran roared weakly.
With great difficulty, he walked out of the wall and fell to the ground, turned over, and the tingling sensation instantly spread all over his body. "Broken ribs, damn it.." The blood continued to seep out, dragging out a long trail of blood. That stumbling figure was so helpless, so stubborn.
"Stop it!"
The monster didn't hear it, and walked towards the boy step by step, slowly raising its right hand. The boy was frightened and sat on the ground and began to cry. "Bang!"
The crying stopped abruptly. "No!!"
Sensen's white bones broke away from his young body, and the blood slowly flowed to the ground and pooled into a pool. "You...."
"Iβ" Biting his lip, he staggered towards the monster.
At this time, a figure slowly appeared in Ji Ran's heart, but it was very dark, and he couldn't see the face hiding behind the darkness, but he was very familiar with this voice, in the accident five years ago, this voice had appeared, and after that, he seemed to have lost a certain memory, and he couldn't remember it no matter how he looked for it. "Give me your body!" echoed in the depths of his mind.
"Haven't you always been jealous of my power? Don't you need me at this time? Just admit it, I am a part of your body, I am you, my power is your power, when do you want to hide?"
Like a compressed gas that bounced back quickly, the anger caused the qi in his body to suddenly begin to rise, his hair stood on end, and he raised his left hand. "It's not that you're not strong enough to hurt this kid!!"
"Bang!"
"I know. Don't give me nonsense!" At this time, Ji Ran seemed to be a different person, and his whole body was bubbling with black-red gas, which was embedded around his body, and the bricks that were touched by the gas were instantly crushed. It just feels like the space around this is distorted...
Ji Ran pulled up his right fist fiercely and shot towards the monster...."Ah!!"
The monster also held out its hand. The fists collided, and a stream of air began to pass up from the monster's wrist, and its arms began to shake violently like waves, and then the blood vessels burst one by one. Suddenly, the monster burst open in front of him, and its flesh was shattered, and blood burst out like a fountain, staining everything around him red.
The detectives held their shields and poked their heads left and right, trying to see through the darkness before them. "That's... Is a monster dead?"
"What sound?"
A loud rustling sound came from the darkness ahead, and slowly, the sound grew louder and louder. A huge hurricane rushed out of it, like the impact of thousands of troops, and the powerful air currents swept the detectives and the surrounding crowd several meters away. The entrance to the alley was even opened out of a fan-shaped landscape more than ten times wide.
The detectives propped up their bodies with their hands, "This... What a terrifying power.... Is that the boy?"
What should have been a densely populated area of buildings has been reduced to a pile of rubble, interspersed with bricks and steel bars. "This power is terrifying, isn't it?"
Ji Ran only felt that he was heavy, and his vision began to blur... Slowly, his body fell backwards..."Did you still use that power in the end?
....
In a huge factory, each workshop was filled with containers about ten feet high, and inside stood a monster with a lion's face, sleeping with his eyes closed. "Thunder. How far has the plan been implemented?"
"It works pretty well. Although only defective products are released, the ability to execute is perfect. Succeeded in attracting the attention of those officials. β
"Okay. I know, you should go to Yaco City tomorrow to find out the tone of the officials, Hei Feng just called me, saying that there is new news. Be careful when you connectβ" the man said lightly, biting a cigarette from his mouth.
"I see. If there is an emergency..."
"You know," the man said, holding out his hand and gesturing it at his neck.
ββββββ Hospital
When I opened my eyes, there was an unfamiliar ceiling, and the pungent smell of alcohol permeated all around. At this time, another sharp pain came from the back. "Where is this?"
A man sitting next to him said lightly, "Hospital." β
Ji Ran covered the dazzling light on the ceiling with his hand, and the intensity of the light that he had just opened his eyes made him feel a little dizzy. Of course, when he raised his hand, he also noticed that his right hand was fixed in a plaster cast. As for the rest of my body, although it is much better, there is still some residual pain. "By the way, that monster!" suddenly sat up, looking at the man with some excitement.
The man smiled, "Thanks to you." Defeated!"
"Really?
At this time, the man took out a booklet from his suit jacket, and the material and color of the cover should be the certificate of the firm. "I'm the director of the Green Fields Office - Mo Yan. I'm here to ask you if you're interested in coming to my office in the future?"
Seeing that this man named Mo Yan showed a tentative look, Ji Ran could be regarded as relaxed, "I'll think about it." Took the business card.
"Yes? That's good, thank you for something you can do without it, but you're willing to step up despite the danger. I appreciate your frankness and courage. So, I'll take my leave... By the way, I've thought of a lot of ways to do your thing, but the government seems to have blocked the news that you defeated that monster, saying that you want to control it so as not to panic."
After sending Mo Yan away, Ji Ran lay on the bed alone, and the picture of the child being killed resurfaced in his mind, and he couldn't help frowning. "Damn, if I had been strong enough, I would have been able to save that child.... Even if you don't have the strength, you have to break through and kill others..."A strong sense of self-blame lingered in his heart.
His eyes couldn't stop the tears from flowing out, and he tried to block the tears with his hand on his face, but the guilt in his heart was already like blood flowing, covering his whole body, maybe only time could heal it!
He looked out the window, the gray sky.
At night, the moisture from the valley clings to the sky above the city and condenses in the air through the updraft. Slowly it began to rain, and then it turned into a torrential rain. A flash of light flickered, and the wind suddenly became stronger, making people feel its roar, waving its flexible branches wildly. A loud "boom" went unnoticed.
The streets were deserted, and rainwater poured down the manhole covers into the sewers, pouring down like a waterfall. After a long day's work, people fell asleep, and only a few were looking out the window at the rain.
ββββββββ
Slowly walking to the cornice, looking down at everything below, his body slowly leaned forward and fell. In the blink of an eye, his figure had disappeared into mid-air.
The door of the apartment rang for the first time for a long time, and seeing that no one answered the door, Jiang Mu easily shattered the door with the qi in his hand, and did not make the slightest sound, his eyes did not have any emotion, just took cold steps. Walking to the door of the bedroom, he lingered for a moment.
In the bedroom, there were women moaning incessantly, mixed with the gasps of men, and a few crisp sounds from time to time. Because I have been wearing a mask for a long time, I am also very comfortable with the dim lights in the house, and I slowly push open the door.
The two people in the room didn't seem to notice it, and slowly, a figure suddenly imprinted on the woman's face, and the woman screamed, and immediately retracted her broken legs, escaped from the man's crotch, and got into the bed.
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around with a big belly, and was shocked all of a sudden. "You... What people.. When"
"I'll have a quick question," the masked man said coldly.
"Who do you think you are?!Trespassing on a private house, believe it or not, I'll sue you!" the man showed a vicious expression, looking very angry that his business was interrupted.
"Your name is Zhai Yang, a district government official in District 45?" the masked man pointed the tip of his knife at the man's forehead.
"Who the hell are you..."The man suddenly weakened, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.
"Answer me" Jiang Mu's tone was cold, exuding a depressing aura, and the man was a little out of breath. "Damn..."
"Answer me!" Jiang Mu waved the short knife in his hand
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"That's fine!"
The man thought the matter was over, and wiped the sweat from his forehead again.
Jiang Mu turned around and stopped talking. I saw the blade of the knife shake, and several sword flowers were split. "Poof" The two fell to the ground, blood seeping through the cracks in the planks. Just as he was about to withdraw the knife, a figure suddenly appeared, and a cold light swept by, and Jiang Mu reacted quickly and dodged away.
The two faced each other at this time, and the knives in their respective hands actually danced, and the knife qi that Dao Dao swung wreaked raged everything around them, and the two of them collided out of the room in a few moments. That man didn't seem to be weak, and he was at ease in the face of Jiang Mu's attacks.
With the help of the faint light of the roadside street lamp, Jiang Mu at this time completely saw the face of the person who came, "This... I didn't expect it to be you..."
"yes. I didn't expect it either... My superiors told me to come here, saying that there was an inner ghost who would kill people here tonight."
"What inner ghost, isn't it you?" Jiang Mu asked suspiciously.
"You don't want to play stupid anymore.... I'm here to kill you and make a fake report, aren't you an inner ghost?" the man sneered...
"Sure enough. β
The man didn't say a word, another sword slashed over, Jiang Mu pressed down the sword with the blade, in order to find out the details of the other party, he retreated a few meters without vigilance. These were the necessary observations in battle, and after so many years of being an Assassin, he knew these things best.
"Sure enough, I'm very vigilant... It seems that the information given to me by the superior is true" The man threw the sword in his hand into the air, and kicked Jiang Mu twice with a jump, and landed perfectly in one turn, the sword behind him was suspended in the air, and suddenly, that sword turned into more than a dozen. "Then I won't hide my strength anymore. You know, this is already my strongest move - the Twelve Swords"
"Stunned"
The pupils of Jiang Mu's eyes were blood-red, and the two streams of air that lit up diffused from his eyes.
"Twelve Swords, Hellfire"
Suddenly, the bodies of the twelve swords were lit up with blue flames, and the air around them rang out, and Zhen's brain was buzzing. The surrounding buildings began to shake. "Come on, a quick fix. β
Jiang Mu opened his blood-like eyes, and the figure disappeared in a flash of light, and only two faint blood-red shadows could be seen looming out of the traces. One of the twelve swords flew out, twisting its body like a viper chasing its prey, following the fast-moving body closely. Jiang Mu dodged left and right, but he couldn't avoid the pursuit of the sword, and the places behind him that were grazed by the sword were lit with blue fire, the fire didn't seem to be an ordinary fire, the temperature was several times higher, and the surrounding things were salivated to the point that they were all melted into slag.
"It's come to this point, just wait for the twelve swords to come out first" Jiang Mu's wrists began to rotate and move, "Just a little minion of your level, I want to see how long you can play with me!"
Jiang Mu kept moving his position to dodge the attack of the flying sword, although the speed of the attack could not keep up with Jiang Mu's action speed at all, but after all, he had an advantage in numbers, and it was also smarter to join forces to seal the route. The speed of the sword seems to act according to the qi of the controller, and the more qi the controller provides, the faster the speed and the greater the damage.
But after nearly a few minutes of grinding, the speed of the first few swords was obviously much slower, and then the controller was already sweaty. And Jiang Mu's physical strength did not decrease at all, his movements were still fast and rapid, and several raids made the men confused.
"The last one" The man gasped and commanded with his right hand, and even eleven swords were destroyed by Jiang Mu in an instant, but it was the mysterious knife that hung on his waist to complete this series of work, although the blade was old, but the sharpness and the sharpness that showed it were not at all comparable to ordinary blades, otherwise it would not be possible to crush the sharp weapon that the man had spent a lot of money on forged with just one easy blow.
"It's now" took advantage of the man's lack of strength, and immediately launched a counterattack.
Jiang Mu deliberately ran behind the man and pretended to attack, but in fact, he sold a flaw, and sure enough, the sword was not the same as before, "Sure enough, it's not a follow-up attack!"
The sword plunged straight into the concrete street, Jiang Mu's eyes exuded a strong killing intent at this time, and his gaze was firmly fixed on the man. "How would you know"
"What's the matter? The body seems to be unable to move, and even the qi in the body has stopped flowing, this is impossible! What the hell have you done!" the man exclaimed with some excitement.
Jiang Mu slowly walked in front of the man, "You... Don't play..."The cold blade stabbed into his chest, and a stream of blood splattered out, staining the white mask.
The man rubbed on Jiang Mu's body, his body slowly slid down, his facial features were distorted, and he was a little crazy.
In the past few days, he has found out the informants of the inner ghost one by one, alarming the personal bodyguards of many government officials, although the evidence he has now is enough to expose the inner ghost, but, with his current identity, premature exposure also means that he has to start his life on the run early, if it is just himself, Jiang Mu will not think about it so much, the most important thing is that he has a sister, no matter what, he needs to think more about his only relative when he does anything.
