Volume 1: Shadow Rise Chapter 29: The City of Fog (3) Fighting

Kings Boulevard, Marty Cafe, 15:05 p.m

The coffee spilled from the table left a puddle of brown stains at Glenn Brown's feet, and the frightened blonde waitress sat slumped and wiped her tears with her hands, her body shaking.

"Get to safety, girl. Ye Xiang said in an almost commanding tone, "It's better that you don't see what happens next, and tell the people in the store to leave quickly." ”

The waitress looked at the three people facing each other in front of her, and although she didn't quite understand what was going on, she nodded and walked to the back kitchen with her trembling legs.

"It's really a pity, two 'heroes'. "But you can save them, but you can't save yourselves." ”

"Needless to say. Shore interrupted him harshly, "Since you want to fight, we can only go all out." ”

"Wait a minute. Ye Xiang stretched out a hand to stop Xiao Er, who was about to rush forward, "Although what they say is almost all nonsense, I still want to ask him, why do we have to die?"

Glenn nonchalantly played with his fingers: "It doesn't matter, I'm just doing what I'm told." If I had to find a reason, it would be that you have posed a threat to this world, so we must eradicate you completely, in the name of justice. ”

"What a good one in the name of justice. Shore quipped, "As long as you are in the name of this false justice, you can do whatever you want, right?

"As I said, it doesn't matter, as long as I receive the order, I must do whatever it takes to complete it, and this is how I survive. Glenn raised his right hand as he spoke, "You have to die today, but I'm glad that at least you've asked enough before you die." ”

Runes appeared from his right arm, but instead of the usual gold, the color of the runes was ghostly blood-red, as if blood had congealed into characters.

"The Red Word!?" Shore swallowed.

"I always thought it was a legend. Ye Xiang's eyes were staring at Glenn's right arm. "I didn't expect the legend to be true. ”

"Do you know how that red color is formed?" Shore asked.

Ye Xiang nodded solemnly and said: "There is a saying that the power of the Divine Word comes from resonating with the human spirit, and once the user is addicted to killing, or the spirit is disturbed by negative emotions, then the golden Divine Word, which originally represents light and justice, will be assimilated into red with the darkness in the heart, which is the color that symbolizes death and killing." ”

"Who's to say?" said Glenn, smiling contemptuously, "maybe that's what it is, but it's just been changed to something else by the hypocrites." But it's all over, so get out of the way, Word Puppet. ”

"Don't be complacent there!" Shore took off his trench coat and drew out the twin swords of Maia hidden in his clothes, and just as he was about to rush towards Glenn, he was suddenly knocked to the ground by a flying kick from the side.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Er looked at the person who had just attacked him with a shocked expression, it was Ye Xiang who was standing aside. "Why are you attacking me. ”

"I'm sorry, but I" Ye Xiang's face oozed beads of sweat, and he still maintained the posture of attacking just now. "But I can't seem to control my body, it moves on its own, and it doesn't follow my will at all. ”

"How so?" said Shore rose from the ground, then looked at Glenn warily. "Is this what you're capable of?" he asked, "and the ability to manipulate other people's bodies is simply too despicable." ”

"I don't know if it's mean or not, but it's undoubtedly useful. Glenn spread his hands, "So what are you going to do next, do you fight your brother, or die here!?"

He moved a finger slightly, and Ye Xiang followed the rapid change of movement towards Xiao Er, Xiao Er could only defend as much as possible, but he was never able to fight back. Despicable fellow, he thought, let two people who were originally friends kill each other, is this how he enjoys himself?

"Haha, haha......" Glenn looked at the two people fighting in front of him and felt very excited, "Hurry up, fight harder, let me enjoy this unparalleled puppet show!"

On the River Thames, 15:07 p.m

The wreckage of the shipwright's exploded corpse lay silently in the stern of the ship, and the deck was littered with scraps of meat and internal organs thrown by the corpses after the explosion, making people can't help but gag.

"Shall we begin, then?" asked Jordi Ferron, gnawing his fingers, "if it is over sooner, I will be able to call it a day and go home sooner, and you will suffer less." ”

"You guy!" said Nicholas, whose head was bruised, and he was furious at the face of such an atrocity. "Do you treat human life as a weed on the side of the road, and deprive others of their right to live so arbitrarily? ”

"Hey, hey, where is your focus?" said Jordi lightly, "The rules of this world are that the strong eat meat and the weak drink soup, and the weak must obey the strong." In other words, isn't it also a kind of mercy to kill a powerless man like the one I just killed, who could have tormented him for a long time if I wanted to, but I killed him all at once and spared him the unnecessary pain?"

"You—" Nicholas felt his anger rise and he was almost speechless.

"You don't have to say anything to this kind of person. Raven took a step forward, "A guy like this who doesn't take human life seriously at all, only if he understands the meaning of death, will he repent before he dies!"

"Oh, are you going to kill me?" Jordi raised his right hand, and the blood-red word was shining. "Then let's see who can kill whom, Divine Word Water Anthropomorphism. ”

His translucent right hand made a gesture that mimicked a pistol, and then shot a drop of water from his barrel-like index finger. The droplets whizzed like a bullet into the bulkhead of the ship beside Raven, leaving a bullet hole in it.

"The ability to manipulate water may seem a bit tricky. Raven looked at the bullet hole beside him, the expression on his face became solemn, if the shot just now was a little off, then it was not the wooden bulkhead that was pierced, but his own head.

"Something doesn't look good. Nicholas looked at Jordi's left hand, which was gradually becoming translucent, and shouted, "Hurry up and find cover, Raven, the next wave of attacks is coming!"

Almost as soon as he shouted, the droplets of water shot from Jordi's hands rained down on them like a hail of bullets, destroying everything in front of them at high speed, filling the air with sawdust and smoke from the decks and cabins that had been hit.

It took a full three minutes for the stormy attack to cease, and the cabin in front of Jordi was almost razed and the deck was riddled with bullet marks, but the bodies of Nicholas and Raven were not found.

"Looks like it dodged my first attack. He looked at the almost broken plank ship in front of him and said, "Is this interesting, if I die all at once, then I will not have fun, and now this kind of death hide-and-seek can make people boil!"

Regent Street, Windsor Clothing Store, 15:09 p.m

"Are you alright, Wakaba?" Rex asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Chikusa Wakaba was patting the dust beside him, "It's just a pity that I spent so much money on the clothes, so I had to buy them again." ”

"As long as you're okay, if you want to buy those clothes, go buy them as soon as possible. Rex blurted out unconsciously, and then regretted wanting to punch himself in the mouth.

"That's what you said. Wakaba said with a smile, "After this battle is over, you must not regret it." ”

"Enough gossip," said the woman unhappily, "it's so unreasonable to bring a child into battle." ”

Wakaba looked up and down carefully. The woman glanced at it, and then said playfully: "Auntie, you must have never been in love, otherwise how could you say such corny words?"

"I don't know what to do, the little girl has never even been to the real battlefield, and she is still talking big here. ”

Wakaba's face turned cold all of a sudden, and there was a killing intent in his eyes that even Rex rarely saw: "Why do you say that I haven't been to the real battlefield? I have seen more deaths than you, and no one can describe the tragic situation I have seen!"

"You. The woman looked at Wakaba and said thoughtfully, "I see, are you a survivor of that incident, so maybe you really have seen more deaths than me?"

"Shut up!" Rex interrupted her sharply, "don't talk about that again, it's in the past, don't bring it back to her old memories." ”

"Is it really that incident that she really doesn't want to recall?" said the woman, "and you still don't understand the truth at that time. If my guess is correct, you are also one of the survivors at that time, ask yourself why she is the only one with memories of that time and does not talk about who the murderer is, while you, who are also a survivor, don't know anything!"

"What do you mean by that?" Rex suddenly fell into a hesitation, he really had never thought about these questions, why had Wakaba never said it, why didn't he have a memory of that time......?

"Smack" Wakaba reached out and patted Rex's cheek gently: "Don't be fooled by what the enemy says, I used to think that I would live with that fear for the rest of my life, but now that you are by my side, I am no longer afraid, because of you, I have overcome that fear, Rex." ”

Rex gently took Wakaba's hand and put it down, "I believe what you say, I know that you are the only one in this world who will never lie to me." He turned his head to look at the woman, "Even if you want to use lies to deceive people's hearts, I will never be deceived by you, because the relationship between us will not be cut off so easily!"

"Someday you'll know the truth. The woman looked at Rex, who was holding Wakaba's hand tightly, and shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Will you still believe this relationship at that time?" ”

The blood-red Word glittered like a ruby on the woman's right arm, "Tear apart the falsehood in front of me, O bloody wind, and return to nothingness! ”

A violent gust of wind came from above the two of them, and a large crater suddenly formed on the ground where Rex and Wakaba were, but the two of them reacted in time to avoid being fatally injured.

"The air pressure around me has changed, can that woman's ability manipulate the air pressure?" Rex got up from the rubble-strewn ground.

"The ability to split the void can arbitrarily change the pressure in this space. The woman said coldly, "Let it dissipate with the howling wind!"
