Chapter 85: Night Attack (4/4 2-in-1)
At this moment, Jiang Heng didn't know how far-reaching the few minutes he had on the fate of the young man named "Tazmi".
On the wide streets, Tazmi, who had failed to join the army, was looking for a place to stay at night.
He has the strength to kill a first-level dangerous species alone, and he is not willing to start as a small soldier after entering the army, so he was kicked out of the recruiting office after making a fuss.
He was separated from Sayo and Iyeas, and he was unfamiliar with life in the imperial capital, and he had no way out, and now he was in a very confused stage.
And a meal at noon shrank his already full money bag by half.
He was so scared that he didn't even dare to find a place to have dinner.
He seems to be so innocent and easy to bully, and he is just alone, how could those greedy restaurateurs let such a big fat sheep go?
He's actually lucky, the restaurant he eats at only needs his money, and he hasn't even used his money yet. You must know that the family that Jiang Heng met still wanted to kill after the drug failed!
If it was a real battle, Tazmi might not be afraid of anyone. But this is the imperial capital, people's hearts are treacherous, and there are many ghosts and ghosts, for such a little sheep, there are too many ways to let him be sold and help others count the money.
The neat brick and stone avenue looks dim and unusually dim under the light of the roadside lights.
The street is still crowded during the day, but it is difficult to see a pedestrian at night.
This is not because of the empire's policies such as curfews, but simply because night is a good time for "evil" to run rampant, and the residents of the imperial capital are in danger!
Distressedly, he took out his money bag, and Tazmi looked at it again and again, and finally resisted the idea of spending money.
"Forget it, let's sleep on the streets today."
Although he also wondered why the streets were so busy during the day, they were so deserted at night. But how did he know what that meant?
He put down his bags and sat down against a random stone wall.
"I can fall asleep anywhere anyway."
With that, Tazmi quickly fell asleep. If he hadn't really suffered a lot, he wouldn't have said something similar to self-deprecation.
It's a pity that although he can endure hardships, he has obviously not been beaten by any society.
At that moment, a carriage that seemed to be very delicate stopped not far in front of him.
I could vaguely hear this voice coming from the carriage: "Miss, are you here again?" ”
"No way, that's my character."
In a hazy sleep, Tazmi felt a shadow appear in front of him. He opened his eyes, and he saw a sweet-looking girl with a bright smile.
"If you don't have a place to live, do you want to come to my house?"
Tazmi, who has already been cheated with a lot of money, is still in a moment of vigilance: "I don't have any money!" ”
"If you had money, you wouldn't sleep in a place like this, would you?"
The girl smiled sweetly.
At this time, two guards who had been driving the carriage before walked forward: "Miss Arya, there is just no way to abandon someone like you!" Just accept it! ”
"Well, so what are you going to do?"
The girl's smile was very sincere and beautiful.
Tazmi's cheeks flushed unconsciously.
He scratched his head and said shyly, "Well, it's better than sleeping out anyway." ”
The girl smiled with satisfaction: "Then it's decided." ”
……
Outside the vast aristocratic estate.
Yao, who was in charge of the investigation, suddenly said: "Master, there is a carriage going inside!" ”
Jiang Heng also looked over: "Really?" If you look at it, it's supposed to be the beginning of the plot, and Tazmi might be in that carriage. ”
"Good!"
After saying that, Yao obediently flapped his wings and flew over.
At this time, Jiang Heng and the others were staying in the woods outside the manor, and beside them, there was a pile of coke and many animal bones piled together.
They had just had dinner, and lunch was just as good as barbecue. Four cute rabbit-type third-level dangerous species were caught by Yao and roasted by Xi, and Jiang Heng was only responsible for sprinkling the barbecue with seasoning at the end in the process. That's it, Xidu still dislikes his uneven sprinkling. At most, Jiang Heng also used magic to disperse the smoke from the barbecue so as not to be discovered by others.
Since Xi, who has the omnipotence of housework and is almost at the full level of cooking, Jiang Heng, who would have cooked one or two dishes by himself, has completely become the object of Xi's feeding.
Soon, Yao flew back.
"Master, indeed, in addition to the girl who is supposed to be named Arya, there is also a boy who resembles Tazmi."
Since this is reality, Yao's tone is not entirely certain. After all, paper people become real people, and they can't always be exactly the same.
"Master, shall we stay here tonight?" Yu asked.
"Of course not, let's sneak in and find evidence of this family's crimes."
He told Leonay what he was going to do during the day, and even if he was acting like it, he had to show it. The next time I meet Leonay and them, I have something in my hand to gain their trust.
The next moment, the ground under Jiang Heng's feet, which was barely visible, immediately became pitch black and deep. This darkness soon spread from the ground to the heads of Jiang Heng and the others.
And as the darkness disappeared, Jiang Heng, Xi, and Yao's figures were also gone.
The Lv.6 Shadow Master skill has opened up a shadow space that can even fit a double bed. If it weren't for the fact that after the space was large, the consumption was also large, and the current mana recovery speed could not catch up with the consumption, Jiang Heng might choose to sleep with Xi in a hug tonight.
Oh, and yes, and Yao.
Inside the manor, in the midst of the spacious living room, in front of the warm fireplace.
Tazmi and Arya's family sat on soft seats on all four sides.
"Oh! Arya has brought someone back with her. The man of the manor said warmly.
This is a middle-aged man with a big belly and a very kind face.
"It's all a habit, how many people are here?" The hostess smiled softly. She also looks very beautiful and generous, and she has the elegant temperament of a noble lady.
While Arya's family was hospitably welcoming Tazmi, Tazmi was looking around.
"Those uncles look so strong, it's because of such people that they can treat people of unknown origin like me gently!"
Tazmi thought as he looked at the several tall and mighty guards standing around.
If Jiang Heng, who was in the dark shadow space at this time, learned about Tazmi's mental activities, he would definitely scoff at it.
"It is precisely because of the protection of these guards that this family can act so unscrupulously!"
If it weren't spoiled, people who watched the "Slash Crimson Pupil" anime for the first time might recognize Tazmi's words while feeling the old routine when they saw this scene at the scene.
If that's the case, the routine is indeed very old.
Look, the actor was deceived and lived on the streets. Then a beautiful girl takes him back to the house, and he is treated warmly by the beautiful girl's family.
This beautiful girl is almost the heroine, and no matter how bad she is, she is also one of the heroines. What will happen next is that it is likely that the enemy of the beautiful girl's family found here and killed the beautiful girl's parents. The male protagonist escaped with a beautiful girl with great difficulty.,Since then, work hard.,Finally, one day,He killed the enemy of the beautiful girl.,And the beautiful girl stayed and flew together.。
Even, if you take it a little more seriously, it's just that the heroine's father dies and her mother escapes together, and it's not impossible that there will be a mother-daughter rice bowl in the end.
But it's a pity that the anime "Slash Crimson Pupil" does not use this routine.
This family does seem to be very kind and enthusiastic, but under this kind face, what is hidden is an evil heart that chooses people and eats them, and is pathologically crazy!
"Master, are we going to kill this family now?" Yao asked.
"Don't worry, they haven't made any moves today, we just need to collect the evidence first. When the 'Night Attack' comes, we'll take action. In this way, we can quickly break into them. Jiang Heng said.
This is actually one of several backup plans that have been thought of before.
But who let Yao this guy, who only knows that everything is subject to (on-the-spot) commands, and can't remember the battle plan at all. At the beginning, in the world of "Card Girl Sakura", in order to let this guy break into Sakura's side as planned, but it was rehearsed many times before he could do it well.
"So what do we do now?" Yao asked again without a hint of self-awareness.
"Go find the place where Iyeas and them were imprisoned in the original book, and if you can save them, try to save them!" Jiang Heng stroked his forehead and said a little sadly.
If it's another drama, as the protagonist's childhood sweethearts, Iyeas and Sayo will at least have a good ending even if they can't stay with the protagonist all the time.
And in this episode, the protagonist's childhood sweetheart has become a tool to promote the protagonist's psychological maturity, and with their deaths, they help the protagonist strengthen his determination to resist the tyranny of the empire and become a killer.
The warehouse that this family used to hold and torture Xiaobai in other places was not difficult to find, but when Jiang Heng came here, it was already the same as the original book, only Iyeas was left with his last breath.
The not so spacious warehouse is full of bloody corpses! Among them, Sayo's body is placed in the center, indicating that she is the most recent person to be tortured.
In the cell on the left side of the warehouse, there were also more than a dozen withered corpses, even if they were dead, they were still clinging to the wooden fence that trapped them. They tried to escape, but they couldn't.
In the dark, Jiang Heng endured the discomfort and walked out. Xi and Yao were left in the shadow space by him, and he didn't want them to get close to this human purgatory.
He was soon able to rescue Iyeas from his comatose and take him into the shadows. The horse charm was removed from his trench coat alone, and the wounds around Iaias quickly healed under the effect of wisps of green light.
But the power of the horse charm alone was not enough, and under the effect of the hostess's medicine, Iyeas's body had run out of oil. The Horse Charm only heals injuries, but does not replenish life force. Jiang Heng could only take out a few more bottles of red medicine and pour them into his mouth.
"Let's hope it works."
After doing everything he could, Jiang Heng placed it in a hidden place nearby. According to Jiang Heng's calculations, Iyeas, who has recovered somewhat, would have had to wake up from a deep sleep of a day or two if he hadn't been woken up by a loud noise.
Since the newcomer came tonight, the hostess of the house did not come here to see her own guinea pig. As a result, she did not realize that the only living person in the warehouse used to torture people had disappeared.
The day passed quickly.
Indulging in Arya's sweet and lovely smile, Tazmi spent the day helping her carry her purchases.
It is worth mentioning that during this process, one of the guards told Tazmi about the darkness of the imperial capital.
Perhaps because of his conscience, he had deliberately hinted at Tazmi's departure.
But alas, Tazmi didn't take even the slightest hint from his hints.
Finally, night came.
In the hallway of the manor, the hostess was looking around for her diary.
"Are you looking for this?"
Jiang Heng's voice came.
The hostess heard this, and at that moment, a sharp pair of scissors passed behind her, and the next moment the hostess saw her lower body.
With the help of the moonlight through the window, it can be seen that just behind the hostess, there is a girl with long purple hair and glasses.
After indifferently beheading the person in front of her, she bowed slightly and said lightly, "I'm sorry." ”
She didn't seem to notice that there was another man present.
Jiang Heng had no choice but to speak up: "That, may I ask if you are the person of the 'night attack', are you here to sanction this family?" Such a coincidence, so did I! ”
Ciel: "Huh? ”
