Volume 1 Urban Battle Clouds Section 3 Entering the Demon Cave Alone
Dark clouds obscured the sky, there were no stars, there was no moon, and on such a rainy night, everything faded its original color, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in gray smoke.
It is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold, and the temperature in Qiantang today is exceptionally low. It was already late at night, and there were no pedestrians on the long street, only a girl with an umbrella was hurrying alone.
The tall man stepped out of the corner with a hat over his head, hiding his whole face in the shadows. The girl in front noticed that there was someone behind her, and unconsciously quickened her pace.
The man didn't say a word, just followed her.
The two of them walked for a while, and the girl turned into a narrow alley on the side of the street, and the man hurriedly chased after him a few steps.
It was a parking passage for the food delivery cart to the restaurant, and there was a dead end in front of it, and there was nothing on the ground except a row of garbage cans, and the whole passage was unobstructed, and the girl seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
The man was wondering, and suddenly he felt something, and when he looked back, the girl stood calmly not far behind him, and one wondered if she had never moved.
The girl stared at the adult man, who was much taller than her, with no panic on her face. Instead, the man raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and called out the girl's name in English:
โJubiยท Lee.โ
The faint light in the distance reflected on the girl's pretty face was Li Qianhuan, who had returned from the island in the middle of the lake in advance.
"Who are you?" Li Qianhuan asked coldly.
The man did not speak, reaching out and pulling down the hood on his head. It was a black man, his long, thick dreadlocks unrestrained and writhing like a snake.
Li Qianhuan lowered her eyes, she had already guessed the origin of this person.
The black man put his hat on and whispered, "Magneto-sama wants to see you." โ
Li Qianhuan didn't agree immediately, but turned her head to look into the distance, her eyes seemed to penetrate the dark night, crossed the lofty mountains, and landed in the place she had dreamed of going back.
After a long time, she whispered, "Got it, let's go." โ
The black man, "Red Lotus", drove fast, and the lights outside the car window turned into shadowy spots in the rain, and the rapidly receding street scene was gradually replaced by a dimly lit suburb.
Li Qianhuan didn't say a word from the moment she got into the car, just leaned on the window in a daze.
Not long after she left the island in the middle of the lake, she began to miss it like crazy. Now as long as she is free, she will be cranky, and then Liu Zheng's underbeaten face will jump out.
Li Qianhuan wrinkled her little nose, trying to get that hateful guy out of her head. But the harder she tried, the clearer the figure of that person became, and the bits and pieces of their relationship kept coming out of the depths of memory, filling the girl's heart.
She suddenly became embarrassed again, and took a few deep breaths, finally squeezing the garden out of her mind.
"Bad guys! Hooligans..."Li Qianhuan scolded softly.
Honglian looked at Li Qianhuan in the rearview mirror, he couldn't understand Chinese, and he didn't know what the girl was talking to herself.
The pickup truck drove further and further away until it stopped outside an abandoned factory in the south of the city. Li Qianhuan quickly adjusted her mood, followed Honglian through the open telescopic sliding door, and walked towards the inside of the factory.
The saber-toothed tiger stood with his arms crossed, his majestic body blocking the way to enter the office building, and a pair of fierce eyes stared at Li Qianhuan. Red Lotus took a few steps forward, stood between the two, and said in a stiff tone: "Victor, get out of the way!" It was an order of the adults to see Jubi. โ
The saber-toothed tiger stared at the red lotus, and a fierce killing intent burst out of his eyes, causing the red lotus to retreat again and again. The saber-toothed tiger showed a hideous smile and said, "The new miscellaneous fish, don't talk to Uncle Ben in this tone, if you don't want to die, you'd better figure out your status." โ
Honglian knew the temperament of this god-killing god, so she had to swallow her anger and let him play tricks.
The saber-toothed tiger's target was not Red Lotus, and he threatened Li Qianhuan: "Don't play tricks, I'll keep an eye on you." He now hates the Chinese people to the core, and Li Qianhuan, an Asian, has naturally become his enemy.
In his opinion, Li Qianhuan has been away for such a long time, and he must have taken refuge in the Huaxia people, and Magneto came to her in vain. On the contrary, in order to hide the whereabouts of their group, Li Qianhuan should be killed.
"Yo, isn't this an invincible saber-toothed tiger!" Li Qianhuan was not stunned by this stupid big man, and immediately sneered, "Do you remember that a person was beaten all over the ground by an Asian man looking for teeth, or was an Asian woman saving him?" I'm sure Magneto will love this story! โ
Li Qianhuan is talking about the night when the saber-toothed tiger first met Ding Luo. At first, the saber-toothed tiger was still making a lot of nonsense, and when he started to make his move, he realized that the combat effectiveness of the leading officer was simply outstanding, if it wasn't for Li Qianhuan's ability to release the explosion and make the soldiers present a little jealous, the saber-toothed tiger was planted on the first day of coming to Qiantang. The saber-toothed tiger looked at the first shame of his life that night, and when he heard that Li Qianhuan dared to ridicule him, he was about to burst out and kill people.
"Victor!" There was a coquettish shout from the door, and the saber-toothed tiger's claws were raised and retracted.
A slender white woman walked out of the hallway behind the door.
This woman Li Qianhuan has seen, Raven Duckholm - the demon girl.
Her figure is so good, Li Qianhuan sighed heartily in her heart, and couldn't help but feel distressed. The Demon Girl guessed what the girl was thinking, smiled at her, nodded approvingly at Red Lotus, and finally turned back to the sabertooth tiger and reprimanded, "Idiot, how much trouble do you have to cause Eric?" โ
The saber-toothed tiger was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't dare to say a word before he got into the door and disappeared, and the demon girl gently grabbed Li Qianhuan's hand and followed in.
Raven is a woman who has lived for more than 200 years and is well-versed in how to deal with people. In the ten minutes of walking inside, the two girls have become acquainted.
In the middle of the abandoned factory, Li Qianhuan finally met the supreme leader of the mutant brotherhood, Magneto. He sat on a huge throne made of steel, under thick gray eyebrows, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, his face was expressionless, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his whole person exuded a thick majesty.
The demonic girl led Li Qianhuan to the steps of the throne, and Magneto's rich male voice echoed in the factory: "Jubiยท Lee, I appreciate your help to my fellow citizens, and my brother will not forget your efforts. Now, I need you to continue to contribute to the revival of the race. โ
Li Qianhuan could see that Magneto's mood seemed to be very bad, and now was definitely not a good time to disobey him. However, she was unwilling to make a false deal with Magneto, so she could only try to make her words sound less harsh: "Dear Lord Magneto, it is my honor to serve you. It is our responsibility to deliver the customer safely and according to the employer's requirements, and there is no credit for that. It's just..."
The saber-toothed tiger's murderous intent is ready to move again, he participated in World War II in his early years, and as a top soldier of the mutant special forces, he has done countless jobs to assassinate enemy leaders behind enemy lines, so he is proficient in all kinds of torture techniques. Li Qianhuan's intention to refuse couldn't be more obvious, he believed that if Li Qianhuan was handed over to him, he would definitely be able to dig up any news he wanted.
When Li Qianhuan was searching for the organization of language, thinking about how to refuse the brotherhood and then leave quickly, the saber-toothed tiger had already laughed and strode over: "Whether you want to or not, when I unscrew an arm, what do you want to ask is not a word!" Before the words fell, a huge claw the size of a basin had already arrived in front of Li Qianhuan.
If it was Li Qianhuan when he first came to Huaxia, there would be only one way to use the blasting ball to fight for his life in this situation, but the current Li Qianhuan has been trained by a kung fu master, and he is very different from his previous self.
What a dexterous girl, I saw her bow her head slightly, she avoided the sharp tiger claws with a sliding step, her feet stepped on strange steps, her body rotated like a spinning top, and somehow she went around the back of the saber-toothed tiger, the saber-toothed tiger turned around and grabbed again, and Li Qianhuan ran to another position.
The saber-toothed tiger couldn't figure out where this little girl had learned these strange abilities in just over two months. His several attacks didn't even touch the corners of the opponent's clothes, and he originally thought that it would not take much effort to deal with such a little girl, but he didn't expect such an embarrassing situation. The saber-toothed tiger became more and more anxious, his eyes were red and his beard was swelling, and his whole person fell into a rage, and he was on the verge of going berserk.
Seeing the ugly appearance of his subordinates, Magneto couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Enough!" The man flew into the air, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the steel plate in the distance roared and flew over and smashed to the ground, separating the two of them.
โJubiยท Lee, are you rejecting me? Magneto looked down at Li Qianhuan condescendingly, like a vulture staring at its prey, "You know what the consequences will be." โ
Li Qianhuan couldn't care so much at this time, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Magneto, I don't want to serve the Brotherhood anymore. I followed your instructions and brought people to Huaxia, and the employment relationship is over! โ
After the saber-toothed tiger was separated by the steel plate wall, he did not attack again, and then said gloomily: "Do you think that you have climbed some character in Huaxia and dare to disobey the orders of the mutant king?" Don't forget where you're from! โ
"If you want me to remember where I came from, I'll tell you now." Li Qianhuan roared back without giving way, "I'm a mutant, I grew up in California, but my hometown is here!" She stretched out her finger and pointed hard at the ground beneath her feet, and said to Magneto, "I don't want to get involved in your business, and you don't want to force me to hurt my own people!" โ
The saber-toothed tiger erupted into an unbridled laugh, a vile act that caused several other Brotherhood members to frown at the same time.
"Do you treat the Chinese people as compatriots? It's ridiculous, hahahaha! The saber-toothed tiger taunted loudly, "You treat them as compatriots, but when do they treat you as compatriots?" You so-called compatriots, you will not hesitate at all when they want to kill you! Hey... I don't need to say more about that, right? โ
Li Qianhuan's face darkened suddenly, and her eyes became extremely gloomy, she laughed unbridled in the face of the saber-toothed tiger, and said coldly: "What am I going to do, I don't need you to tell me." She looked up again and said to Magneto in the sky, "I've finished saying everything, can I go now?" โ
Magneto was ruthless and killed countless people in his life, but he was only kind to mutants. As the leader of the Brotherhood and one of the two major forces in the mutant race, he would not easily do such a self-destructive thing as killing his compatriots.
This is also the reason why Li Qianhuan knew that he was going to rebel against Magneto, but he still dared to come to the brotherhood's lair alone.
"I'm very disappointed in you, Jubilation Lee." Magneto's voice was as cold as ice, "Today you decide to side with the Huaxia people, it is a betrayal of the clan!" The mutants who support the Brotherhood will see you as an enemy, are you willing to bear the consequences? โ
Li Qianhuan stiffened his neck and said nothing.
Magneto laughed angrily: "Good, good! โ
As the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, a powerful "Alpha" mutant, Magneto has never been a good talker, not to mention the battle damage at the main base in Canada and the safety of his daughter Lorna have always haunted him, making his temper even more irritable recently.
Raven is very familiar with Magneto, and knows that this person's anger has reached the crater, and if she provokes him again, she is afraid that she will really kill him, so she will come out to play a round. Her status is special, and she is also a disciple and friend of Magneto, so she has a transcendent status in the Brotherhood, and now she is the only one who can persuade Magneto at this time.
Although Magneto was very annoyed by Li Qianhuan's non-cooperation, he didn't want to make any extraneous branches at this juncture, his original intention of looking for Li Qianhuan was just to unite the living forces as much as possible, so that his plan could be implemented smoothly, since Li Qianhuan didn't know each other, Magneto stopped paying attention to her. Now that several capable generals have returned to Canada, he does not have the energy to deal with the aftermath himself.
