Chapter 45: Sand Crocodile
The dawn pierced the night and fell on the inside of the hotel, Ren Xing rubbed his eyes, and barely got up from the bed, Lifa curled up aside, not yet awake, Lan Lan had eucalyptus leaves in her mouth from nowhere, eating and sleeping.
Try to move the body, the pain spreads all over the body, the wound on my body has not fully recovered, the muscle tissue has been seriously damaged, and it will not be better for a while, but with the physique of any pervert, it may be able to recover almost in a day.
Trying to do a warm-up training, Ren Xing was pleasantly surprised to find that although his physical condition was not too good, the flexibility of his body had been greatly improved, he could feel that his movements and speed were much faster than before, and his reaction nerves were more acute, and the whole person was much more agile than before.
This is the increase brought by the Greed Chapter, before he came, the Greed Code had a 13% charge progress, although it has not been a long time since entering the clock world, but the degree of battle is very intense, and the opponent's strength is also very strong, and now he has unlocked the second stage of the second page, and the charge bar has also come to 45%.
I didn't want to disturb Lifa, who was asleep, so Ren Xing simply prepared to go out for a walk.
The city of Confessions was very quiet in the early morning, there was no one in the streets, and thick steam vapor was constantly emitting from the steam boilers in the distance.
As a dead house, Ren Xing usually goes out very rarely, and after coming to Deconstruction Paradise, Ren Xing was forced to change himself.
However, after coming here, Ren Xing found that the outside world is not as unbearable as he imagined, there will not be flattery, social art and fake smiles and superficial friends, and there will be no crowded streets, restrictive rules and scum who can ruin your good mood for the day.
Walking on the side of the street, Ren Xing noticed that some papers were pasted on the surrounding houses, and when he looked closer, he actually drew the appearance of himself and Lifa, and there was a large number of 0 bounties in the back.
"Wanted so soon?" Ren Xing was a little surprised by the swiftness of the empire's actions, he originally thought that the matter here could be concealed for at least four or five days, but now it seems that he may have been exposed.
This also means that he and the empire have officially stood on the opposite side.
Suddenly, someone patted Ren Xing's shoulder behind him, turned around, and found that it was actually a patrol officer wearing a steam mecha, Ren Xing was taken aback, pressed his hand on the space ring, thinking about the next countermeasures, and was ready to take out the black abyss blade to fight at any time.
"Little brother, new here, I haven't seen you." The patrolman's smile was greedy, and his eyes narrowed slightly at Ren Xing.
"Ah, yes." The other party didn't seem to know his identity as a wanted criminal, which made Ren Xing unbelievable, just thinking that the empire was working fast, but he didn't expect these patrolmen to even look at the faces on the wanted warrants.
"Since it's new to the city, it's not okay not to have a good relationship with the patrol police." The patrol officer stretched out his hand in front of Ren Xing, his eyes hinted at Ren Xing, and the steam mecha made a sound, urging Ren Xing to take out the money.
After the Southern Empire ruled the entire continent, the once elite troops were gradually confused by the material life of drunkenness, and these patrolmen were even more so, they followed the principle of squeezing the people without losing the support of the people, and they were usually indifferent to their own duties.
This kind of thing is very common, and there are often some push of photos of criminal suspects in everyone's mobile phone, so that everyone pays attention to and reports, but in fact, very few people really remember those faces, and people only pay attention to things related to their own interests.
For example, the patrol officer in front of him, he only wants to know how much money he can extort from Ren Xing.
In order to avoid unnecessary accidents, Ren Xing still took out a few coins that Lifa gave himself from the space ring, gave them to the patrolman, thanked him, and hurriedly walked back to the hotel, waiting for Lifa to wake up and discuss the next move with her.
The patrolman whistled after receiving the money and left happily as well.
The corruption of the empire has rotted to the roots, but there is still no one to rectify it, it's not that Hilfa doesn't know these things, on the contrary, Hilfa knows the style of his subordinates, but for her, it doesn't matter if she raises a group of waste that eats and waits for death, all she needs is to let the people who should stay stay by her side.
Lillian, graduated from the Royal Military Academy with the best grades of the year, ranked among the best in tactical literacy, hand-to-hand combat, mecha manipulation and other aspects, and was selected as a member of the Royal Guard after graduation, and this time, it was her first mission, what she had to do was to serve as the assistant of the legendary general of the empire, Sand Crocodile, to assist him in hunting down Ren Xing and Lifa.
Despite being surrounded by legendary generals who have made many achievements in the battle with the Southern Empire, Lilian still maintains sufficient self-confidence, since birth, she is better than anyone around her, she feels that she is a genius in a million, but this journey will crush her self-confidence from head to toe.
"General Sand Crocodile, I don't think the action of issuing a wanted warrant is necessary, considering the ability of our subordinate patrol officers, the wanted warrant will probably not work, and it will even startle the snake." Lillian did not give up her opinion because of the fierce appearance of the sand crocodile, in her opinion, the sand crocodile's approach was just a rigid template, not a practical situation.
The sand crocodile glanced at Lilian, pressed the cigar in his hand on the mechanical arm and extinguished it, and said disapprerovingly: "If you knew, tell Lord Hilfa to send me a dumb man." ”
Lilian felt that she had been insulted, in her eyes, the sand crocodile must have been stubborn because of her face, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, "It's really a lot worse than the legendary general in the legend."
"What do you think?" The sand crocodile, who noticed Lilian's mood, asked in turn.
"Of course, we must first understand the purpose of the other party, predict their actions, and then make plans for the next step." Lilian said confidently.
"What if I already know their purpose?" The sand crocodile looked down at Lilian condescendingly, his eyes revealing domineering.
"What I'm going to do is to startle the prey and let the prey know that they're in danger, so that they can act, and the action will show flaws, so that we can not only take them down, but maybe catch bigger fish."
Lillian was a little frightened by the sand crocodile's eyes, and for the first time, she felt that a person's momentum could be so oppressive.
But she was full of confidence, and she still thought that what the sand crocodile said was just a rhetoric to save face, and her side didn't even know the names of the other party, how could she know their purpose.
The Sand Crocodile's eyes seemed to be able to see through all of Lilian's thoughts: "Time Walker, I went to Confessional City to meet the old immortal Kieran, and just the day before, Confessional City was attacked by the Time Demon, and after they arrived in Confession City, Kieran was nowhere to be found. ”
"What does it mean? It shows that Kieran has something that both the Demon and their Time Walker want, the goal of the Time Demon may be power, and what the two want is more likely information. ”
"That old fellow Kieran, I have long seen that he has no good intentions, although he has also sent someone to spy on him, but I am still afraid of his ability and did not touch him, this time those two are probably going to discuss with him the humble mission of their Time Walker - to destroy the narrow space of time."
"On the other hand, the recent restlessness of the Demons of Time, they even directly attacked the Imperial City in order to plunder the power of time, so there is no reason for them not to move Kieran."
"Now that Kieran and Time Demon have no news, whether they are dead or escaped, it is certain that more than 80% of the remaining two people have achieved their goals, that is, they have obtained information about Time Narrow."
"And I happen to know the conditions for destroying the time of the narrow, so it's easy to guess the other party's purpose."
The Sand Crocodile concealed the conditions for destroying the Narrow Frame of Time, but his words made Lillian stand still in shock.
Lillian hadn't thought about it so much at all, the person standing next to her was not at the same level as herself.
"That's why you have to bring a dumb man with you." The sand crocodile walked indifferently into the station of Deyo City.
"Two tickets to Wall City."
"Okay, Lord Sand Crocodile, please wait." The service staff nervously handled the formalities for the general's ticket.
While the sand crocodile was waiting for the ticket, an old man in tattered clothes came over here, knelt beside the sand crocodile, held a broken bowl and prayed: "My lord, okay, give some money." ”
The sand crocodile turned his head to look at the man, the corners of his mouth rose, his eyes showed excitement, he took out a few large banknotes from his pocket and held them in his hand, and said with a smile: "Willing to serve, by the way, listen to the accent old man, you are not from the Northern Empire, right?" ”
"The general is really careful, I am a former citizen of the Southern Empire, and now I have completely belonged to the Northern Empire." The old beggar happily stretched out his hand to accept the coins.
"Whew-"
Blood splattered, blood droplets stained Lilian's white face red, and the old man was directly slaughtered by the sand crocodile in broad daylight.
Glancing back at Lilian, the sand crocodile took the ticket and walked to the platform, Lilian was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and followed closely behind the sand crocodile with her head down.
At this time, the only bit of self-esteem left in her heart completely disappeared, and she looked at the sand crocodile in her eyes, only fear and awe.
"It's a little hard to hold back." The sand crocodile picked up another cigar, his blood-stained arm trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of bloodthirsty refreshment and enjoyment, "Time Walker, the Gate Organization, the Southern Empire, and that nobody, it's really exciting to think about." ”
Arriving at the platform, the crowd made way for the sand crocodile to get on the train first, and Lillian quickly walked inside the train, she now needed an enclosed space to adjust her spirit on the verge of collapse.
However, halfway through, she noticed that the sand crocodile did not follow, and when she turned around, she found that the sand crocodile was actually at the back of the line, holding an inferior pistol in her hand: "Line up, idiot." ”
Lilian hurriedly ran to the sand crocodile, tears were about to flow out, she had no doubt that the sand crocodile would kill herself with one shot, she completely understood that this man, no matter what, could not see through.
She would never have thought that the sand crocodile who killed people without blinking would be at ease to line up with the crowd.
What kind of person is this sand crocodile?
Sand crocodiles seem to enjoy the time in line, happily smoking a cigar.
"After all, it's the woman who set the rules." The sand crocodile looked up at the sky and thought.
