Chapter 196: New Guest (1)

About twenty minutes later, Michiko Chiba arrived at the Reihean store with a steaming takeout and a large bag of things.

This surprised Ling Ping'an!

It's hard to imagine that such a thin little girl can carry a bag of heavy things with one hand and walk like a fly!

"Oh Hayo!" Chiba Michiko was still the same as before, she smiled brightly, and put the beef rice bowl on the counter first: "Lingsang, this is your takeaway!" ”

"Hmm!" Ling Ping'an smiled.

She struggled to put the heavy bag on the counter: "Your beef and butter!" ”

"Good work!" Ling Ping'an immediately thanked: "How much is beef and butter?" I'll pass it on to you in a moment! ”

"Lingsang gives six hundred yuan, it's almost enough!" Michiko Chiba said after bowing.

Ling Ping'an had no objection when he listened, he trusted the other party very much, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll transfer to Qianye-chan's letter later!" ”

"Okay!" The little girl of Fuso bowed sweetly.

Looking at the back of this little girl in the distance, Ling Ping'an put the beef and butter aside first.

He took out the takeaway lunch box and opened it to see that today's takeaway was still sumptuous!

On top of the mellow rice, the thick slices of beef are neatly stacked.

Today's giveaway is even more sumptuous!

In addition to the sea urchin steamed eggs, there is also a small bowl of salmon roe!

The golden roe has been marinated and looks mouth-watering!

"Delicious!" Ling Ping'an couldn't wait to taste the salmon roe, and he gave a thumbs up.

………………………………………………

Sitting at the table, Ingulat ate the food in front of him.

She was a little absent-minded.

Because, Accardo hasn't come back yet!

"Could something be wrong?" She couldn't help but get worried.

Accardo, the Lord of the Blood River, is the most important hole card of the United Kingdom of Burtania now!

It is also a guarantee of the great power status of the United Kingdom!

If something happens to Him in the East......

Not to mention the outside, just the three fraternal countries inside are afraid that they will soon be hit with dog brains!

Especially the Kingdom of Kate, which is dominated by Kate!

That's clamoring for independence every day!

Fortunately, the scepter in her hand is still intact.

So, Accardo should just be delayed!

As she thought about these things, a sticky river of blood fell from the ceiling and fell into the scepter in her hand.

"Accardo!" Ingulat immediately rejoiced: "You're back!" ”

However, Accardo did not speak.

He fell into the scepter, curled up firmly.

"What's wrong?" Ingulat asked.

"Evie is dead...... Accardo sighed under his breath.

Evie?

Ingulat remembered what she had seen.

That's a devil duke!

"Actually......" said Accardo, "you should be able to feel it too!" ”

"Duke Evie is the Lord of the Fourth Layer of Hell!"

"His fall, all the Qin Lu people should have felt it, and the Rus people should have a strong feeling!"

For Qin Lu, most people still believe in the same religion - Crucius.

It's just that some people believe in the old religion, and some people believe in Protestantism.

In the legend of the Cross religion, hell actually exists in everyone's heart.

This is also the core doctrine of the Crucifixion: all men are guilty, they need repentance, and they need the salvation of the Son!

And the so-called hell is actually the concrete manifestation of the seven deadly sins in the world of the Cross.

Therefore, the Devil Dukes can quickly become active after the revival of the aura and actively intervene in the present world.

This is because they exist in the dark side of the soul of every Qinlu person.

When the first Qin Lu people who believed in the Cross Religion became transcendent, they also returned.

Ingulat listened and nodded: "No wonder I suddenly felt a sense of relief last night......"

"For there is a sin, which has been dimmed!"

She couldn't help but pray in her heart.

Then, she knew the seriousness of the problem!

A Devil Duke of Hell who fell in the East like this?

"Did the governor make the move?" She couldn't help but ask, and then denied herself: "Impossible! He's not there yet! ”

The Devil Duke of Hell, though nologically far inferior to those divine beings.

But they are intractable and ineliminable, and they are universally recognized!

In a sense, as long as hell is not broken, they will never die!

Even if they are destroyed, they have a chance to be resurrected – unless they die at the hands of another demon.

But where to find another devil duke in this East?!

"It's not the Governor......" said Accardo, "I've checked ......."

"The governor is in this city...... But he didn't shoot at all! ”

"There are no signs of fighting or plucking psionic energy in this city......"

"Duke Evie...... It's as if someone killed him casually...... And, from beginning to end, He was powerless to resist! ”

With that, Accardo curled up his spirit a little more.

He dared to come to the East for two reasons.

First: As long as He doesn't break the rules, the pride of the Orientals won't make a move on Him!

Even if he broke the rules, because of tradition, the Orientals generally would not have killed them, and they would have been imprisoned for decades and then sent out of the country!

Second: He is theoretically unkillable!

As long as there is not a drop of blood in His blood that dries up, He will not die, but will fall into a deep sleep!

But now, the inexplicable fall of Duke Evie has sounded the alarm for him.

Even the Devil Duke can fall.

What else is there in this land that will not arise?

Besides, Mr. A and the thirteen feasting witches disappeared together last night!

These people's troubles are not under Him either!

But they, all of them, like air, are nowhere to be found in this eastern city.

"From today onwards, we are all going to be careful...... "I am afraid that the young bookstore owner has secrets and backers that we don't know!" ”

Only this explains.

Behind the ordinary Oriental people is an unknown mysterious backer.

It could be his elders, or it could be the guardians of his family, such as the ancient hermit powerhouse.

Just like a character like the Sage of the Bamboo Forest!

……………………………………………………

Ling Ping'an patted his round belly.

With a full burp, I made myself a cup of fragrant tea.

Then he sat down and said beautifully, "The feeling of being full is so comfortable!" ”

Meow!

Best, the kitten who had slept all morning, smelled the scent of tea and stood up from the corner of the counter.

jumped onto Ling Ping'an, and then looked at the cup of tea with blank eyes.

"Little gluttonous cat, little gluttonous cat, it's really worthy of its name!" Ling Ping'an brought a new cup and smiled and shared a small half cup with the little guy.

The kitten immediately put her head into the cup and drank beautifully.

After drinking, it licked its lips very humanely, and then leaned against the counter, squinting comfortably!

Ling Ping'an smiled and stroked its head.

Then I picked up all the garbage at the counter, and then I poured the two days' household garbage into the trash can!

Carrying the trash can, he walked out the door, and he emptied all the trash into the trash can in front of the store.

Suddenly, he thought of something, so he took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighborhood laundry.

"Aunt Wang, ......"

"I am peace...... I'm going to have to pick up your clothes again......"

It's been at least ten days of changing clothes piled up in the bathroom.

If you don't wash it again, you will feel like you're going to stink!

Hanging up the phone, Ling Ping'an returned to the store.

He opened the bag that was on the counter and looked at the contents.

"It's beautiful!" He took out the piece of beef, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, the beautiful snowflake pattern, this is his favorite beef!

"Let's go!" Lifting the bag, Ling Ping'an greeted the kitten Best.

Meow!

The little one immediately jumped down from the counter, followed in the footsteps of the master, and walked up the stairs together.

It's also strange to say!

This old wooden staircase of Ling Ping'an's house makes a slightly different sound during the day and at night.

It sounds a little oozing at night.

But during the day it was much better, and the crunching sound was much quieter.

"Probably because there are more other sounds during the day!" Ling Ping'an thought.

Walking upstairs, Ling Ping'an opened the beef and took out the butter bag by bag.

Michiko Chiba brought him better Nanzhou butter!

Each piece is about 300 grams!

But because it has been frozen for too long, it is a little hard!

So, after it needs to be frozen, Ling Ping'an puts the beef in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, then puts the butter on the table and lets it melt at room temperature.

Then I found at least twenty pieces of clothes and pants from the bathroom.

It took three handbags to fill up!

"I'm really ...... too" Ling Ping'an carried these things and laughed at himself: "Genius!" ”

He estimates that among his peers, there are few examples like him.

Walking downstairs, Aunt Wang's niece came.

Ling Ping'an handed over the three handbags to her, and then said to the little girl with a smile: "Hard work, I will transfer the money to Aunt Wang later!" ”

The other party was very polite and said with a smile: "It's okay! ”

He picked up the three handbags and put them in front of the little electric donkey.

Didi!

The little electric donkey sailed into the distance!

………………………………………………

Ran Bing drove an off-road motorcycle, running wildly on the barren surface.

Behind her, more than a dozen slender and extremely fast monsters were rapidly approaching her.

"Damn it!" Ran Bing glanced back at the monster that was getting closer and closer.

"The speed of the Crimson Beast has increased again!"

This made her heart fall into the deepest abyss.

Crimson!

A nightmare for humanity!

Twenty years have passed since the collapse of the old world!

But human beings still don't know, where did these terrible monsters come from?

What is their ecology and behavior?

The only thing humans know about such monsters is that they can't be killed!

At least, with the current technological means and weapons of mankind, they are ineffective against them!

Whether it is guns or bombs, they can only be temporarily paralyzed.

An hour later, or a day, they'll be back on their feet again and continuing to hunt down any humans that come into their sight!

So......

Desperate humans have no choice but to escape from these terrible monsters by escaping into the few floating cities that can still be used, away from the ground.

However......

The problem is that the old world has collapsed.

The ecology of the whole world has collapsed!

There is no place where humans can safely survive except in the floating city!

But the operation of the floating city requires a lot of materials and energy!

Especially energy!

All, the humans of the Floating City, can only venture down from the sky to the surface, looking for possible energy sources and other supplies.

This includes a variety of production lines and parts.

In this process, if you are lucky, a single harvest can keep the floating city running in the sky for half a year or even years!

But with bad luck, I encountered the Scarlet Beasts.

Often the whole army is wiped out!

And the destruction of the adventure team, in a normal sense, for the survivors of the entire floating city, there is only one result: wait for death!

Because the adventure party is a collection of the elite of the whole city.

Once the adventure party is completely submerged on the ground, the survivors of the floating city can only risk sending those young people who are not trained and trained in combat to venture into the ground.

In a normal sense, it is difficult for them to make it back alive.

Twenty years after the Great Collapse, Ran Bing's Floating City has already encountered several floating cities with only a few thousand people left waiting for death in the sky.

And in order to survive, usually, most floating cities will only accept young women and children from another floating city.

Old people and men, they don't want it.

Therefore, every warrior in the floating city will create life for his companions at all costs when they encounter danger on the ground.

Just like what Ran Bing is doing now.

The moment she spotted the Crimson, she took the initiative and drove the motocross motorcycle she found from the Old World to divert the Crimson herd.

Because, every fighter knows.

If the party is in distress, the entire city could be devastated!

Seeing that, the scarlet beast chasing behind him was getting closer and closer.

Ran Bing couldn't help but close his eyes: "Farewell!" ”

Her eyes flashed with the faces of her comrades in the floating city, and the enthusiastic civilians.

As a warrior, she expected death!

Burst!

At this time, her motorcycle suddenly stopped.

Ran Bing knew that he had reached the last moment.

She pulled the grenade she had strapped to her arms.

She closed her eyes tightly and waited for death to comeβ€”she knew what would happen to humans who fell into the hands of the Crimson Beast!

Those monsters will suck everything out of the flesh and blood of everyone they capture!

But......

The grenade did not go off.

And......

There was no more of the roar of the Crimson and the pace of pursuit.

She opened her eyes.

There is a fog in front of you!

I can't see the scenery around me clearly.

She looked down and saw that the frame of the motorcycle she was riding on was rapidly corroding from something.

In the blink of an eye, all that was left was a little ash!

Ran Bing was dumbfounded.

She tried to take two steps forward, and then realized that she seemed to be stepping on something.

She looked down and saw what was under her feet.

The skin is red, the tentacles hang down on the sides, and the huge eyes are like lanterns!

It's Crimson!

But......

It's dead now.

Monsters that could not be killed by human guns and bombs died in this fog.

And it's completely dead!

Ran Bing felt that this monster was rapidly being dissolved by some kind of force.

Its flesh and bones are rapidly liquefiing.

In just five seconds, this monster that made humans helpless was only a little ash left.

Ran Bing took a deep breath.

She crouched down and pulled a silver crystal out of the ashes!

The crystals are square.

Ran Bing reached out and touched it, and felt that there were words on it.

β€œU-M-B-R-E-L-L-A!” Ran Bing silently recited the letters he touched, and then put them together.

"Ambrera!" She was stunned: "Umbrella?!" ”

She was all too familiar with the name.

It was marked on many goods and goods in the Old World.

Even the Floating City has its mark.

Countless sources show that this old world company or organization called Ambrera once spread all over the world and participated in almost all human projects.

Weapons have it, buildings have it, medicinal herbs have it!

Right now......

Even Crimson has it!

"What happened in the old world?" Ran Bing asked.

But no one could give her an answer.

The fog is so deep that there is no way out at all.

Ran Bing tried to turn back, but she soon found that she couldn't get out at all.

She's been going round and round in circles!

It made her almost despair!

Until......

At a certain moment, a little flickering light appeared ahead.

……

Wait a minute, there's a plus for the cute master!
