Chapter 74: The Millennial Covenant (Part 4)
There is a limit to human power.
When the adrenaline subsides, all the accumulated pain comes up at the same time.
Ikeda stumbled in the night and brought Luo Xin to the ground.
The knife wound on the leg and the internal injury to the lower abdomen made it difficult for the two of them to even stand up, in fact, it was a miracle to run down more than ten flights of stairs under such injuries.
However, according to the instructions sent by Seventeen, they had only survived half the distance, and the close roar made them realize that the quarantine facilities were of limited use, and to make matters worse, with the destructive power of the Foxfaces, even if they did escape the building, it would only increase the casualties.
In this regard, Chen Jiang ...... In other words, the Foundation's purpose has always been to exchange the sacrifices of low-level employees for the chance to survive high-level combat power.
When each employee joins the Foundation, they are aware that the disasters caused by paranormal phenomena can never be eliminated by a single person.
"Hold on, Seventeen said that the person in charge of Chen has sent a team in."
The essence of this squad is to interfere with the death squad of the foxfaces, and once the two meet, their chances of survival are almost zero.
"Luo Xin, I don't want to run away anymore, you go find them to join them."
Ikeda slammed his sword on the ground at night and spoke.
"Don't be stupid! Get up, can't you even run this distance? ”
Holding back the pain, Luo Xin grabbed Ikeda's arm with all his might, intending to pull her up from the ground.
"I didn't give up, only this time, I wanted to take my destiny into my own hands...... Rather than being caught up and killed easily, I want to save some stamina and wait for him to arrive. ”
In fact, since the appearance of the fox-faced people, Ikeda Asaya has almost given up the idea of resisting, and even a man as powerful as his father has died at the hands of this man, and what lies in front of them is the insurmountable gap between humans and ghosts.
She couldn't even imagine the fight between the two.
In the process of running constantly, Ikeda seems to have come to understand why she has not been able to get a flash of recognition for so many years.
Because, she is always used to hiding behind others.
Behind her father, family, instructor, and even teacher, her father's death made a flash of transmission to her hands, but she never planned to assume the position of head of the family, and joining the Foundation was actually evading and staying away from the expectations of the clansmen.
But now, for the first time, Ikeda felt strongly that he could not escape.
She is not facing a passing demon who tries to kill with a knife, but the grievances of the Ikeda clan for thousands of years, and it is also the fate that every head of the family is born with.
"So, I'm not going to run away this time."
"It's not enough."
Luo Xin exhaled, she could understand Ikeda's mood at this time, when she went to the airport alone to face the man in the trench coat, she saw death as if he were now.
And she learned one thing from that experience.
The consciousness of seeing death as if it were home is not enough.
"You're going to win, no...... To be precise, we should be able to win! ”
………………
"Aren't you running away?"
The fox-faced man stopped and looked at Luo Xin, who was leaning against the most prominent position in the hallway.
At this moment, the demon knife in his hand was in a state of unsheathed, and Luo Xin finally saw the true appearance of the demon knife.
The silver-white blade, and the black aura that the blade emitted from time to time, was full of ominous and terrifying, and when she looked at the black qi, she seemed to hear the wails of the dead.
Despair, hatred, anger.
All of these emotions occupied her brain for a while.
"It seems that your companions have left you and fled."
The fox-faced man slowly walked towards Luo Xin, and at the moment when he raised his knife, Luo Xin suddenly burst out of the ground and swung his fist wearing the watch at the fox-faced man's mask again.
He seemed to have expected Luo Xin's reaction, and with a twist of his wrist, he met Luo Xin's right arm with the blade.
Unlike the first punch that was ready to be struck, Luo Xin's punches this time were noticeably less fast and powerful.
"Your teacher should teach you that the same trick won't work twice, and last time, it was that bullet that saved your right hand."
So, this time......
The scabbard stabbed out from behind the door on his side pushed towards the waist of the fox-faced man, the fox-faced man subconsciously took a step back, and his knee went up to deflect the trajectory of the scabbard, Luo Xin also took this opportunity to withdraw his right hand in time, and she used the inertia of jumping up to hit the fox-faced man hard, knocking him back several meters.
"Bang ——!"
A bang sounded, and her whole body was swept backwards several meters away by the shockwave.
Encountering two violent impacts in a short period of time, Luo Xin directly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her clothes were set on fire and she had to roll back and forth on the ground to extinguish the flames.
It was almost a way to hurt an enemy by eight hundred and self-inflicted a thousand, and she knew very well that the explosion caused by the magic bag would not cause much damage to the fox-faced man, but she had to.
She and Ikeda had only a slim chance at night.
However, they must believe that this is a 1 in 10,000 possibility!
Rushing out the door, Ikeda swooped into the smoke, her right hand dangling from her waist for a moment.
If she fails to pull out a flash this time, then both she and Luo Xin will die here.
However, this time, there were no distractions in her heart, and she was no longer in fear.
Ikeda subconsciously closes her eyes at night, and at the same time, all of her senses become sharper than ever, a technique she has practiced countless times since she was a child.
The heart is like stopping water, and the mind is calm.
The next moment, the red thunder pierced the smoke screen.
Ikeda felt as if there was a momentary disconnect in his consciousness, and when he came back to his senses, he was already back in the sheath.
Time seems to be frozen in this moment.
When the smoke screen cleared, Ikeda and Rosin saw the fox-faced man, more precisely, his body, which was still standing, wielding a knife, and the fox-faced head rolling to the ground a few meters away.
"It's done, it's done!"
Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but while she was glad, she was a little lost.
Compared to her resistance to the man in the trench coat, Ikeda's performance was much better.
"Whew-"
The tense nerves relaxed at this moment, and Ikeda felt that the exhaustion filled her body with an overwhelming sense of exhaustion, and after defeating a strong enemy, she did not even have the energy to celebrate, and she only felt that her eyelids were heavy, as if she might fall asleep at any moment.
"Hold on, I'll contact ...... now"
Luo Xin's voice stopped abruptly.
The body that lost its head did not fall, not only did it not fall, but the black qi emitted by the demon knife did not dissipate for a long time.
Moreover, this black gas suddenly skyrocketed a lot.
"Once, a total of 20 swordsmen cut off my head."
The black qi spliced the severed head back into the body, "And you, the 21st...... It's a pity that you, like them, can't end my sins. ”
