Chapter 17 17.Thunderstorm Red Night
Earth time: May 1 rain
To be honest, I don't want to think too much about it at this point. But the deafening roar of thunder and the roar of the wind outside the window forced me to force myself back into my memories, looking for the scars that hurt me in the midst of all the events that left me chagrined and saddened.
The thunder and wind seemed to remind me of the mistakes I had made in the past, and to remind me that whenever I remembered it, the last thing I should have done was to bear a deep sin.
Otherworldly time: Late at night on April 23
"Beidou, are you really going to go to the back mountain?!" Zhao Bin scratched his head with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Yaoguang is in their hands, I have to go" I crumpled the note in my hand into a ball.
"But it's near the school's forbidden mountain, it doesn't belong to the school, it's not subject to school rules, and it's not guarded, it's a barren mountain, if they ask you to meet there, I'm afraid there will be an accident."
"It's okay, I'm ready," I muttered, I couldn't listen to this kind of thing at this time.
"Then I'll go with you, so I can take care of it."
"No, you can't go, they found me, they can't bother you, and you're going to stay and do something for me," I said.
Although Zhao Bin tried his best to dissuade him, he could only acquiesce because I insisted on going, so I left him at school, and explained that if I didn't come back early in the morning, I must report to the teacher, and before that, I must not act rashly, otherwise I don't know what they will do to Yaoguang. Zhao Bin reluctantly agreed, so I followed the threat on the note and went to the back mountain alone.
The back hill is located at the back of the school, and there is no fence to block it, so it is also outside the school, because it is late at night, so no one has been found along the way, and the back door is also opened by someone and is unguarded.
On weekdays, I can only study in school, I don't carry weapons with me, only the martial arts hall will have weapons, and at this time it is too late to prepare, so I can only go with my bare hands, and I am nervous and afraid.
Because of the stone steps of the mountain road, it is relatively easy to climb the mountain, and there is no sign of wild beasts and monsters in the surrounding area, so it is just a barren mountain.
Because there is no light on the mountain road, the stars, sun and moon are obscured by clouds, so that the vision is not good, fortunately, with a lantern in his hand, the faint candle flame becomes the only light in the night, but it is also the most fragile light.
The candles swayed as the night breeze penetrated into the lanterns, and as I walked up the hill, I felt the strange atmosphere around me.
Suddenly, there was a rustle of leaves in the woods, I immediately jumped to the side with my intuitive judgment and the sensitivity of my ears, and the lantern in my hand was also thrown up, a silver light instantly crossed under my eyes, although I dodged the silver light but just pierced the lantern in my hand, the strong wind brought by the silver light directly blew out the candle flame, I immediately threw away the lantern in my hand, and looked around with a tightly locked brow.
With no candlelight, my eyes were pitch black, and I couldn't see my surroundings clearly, except the outlines of some tree trunks. The strong wind that suddenly hung in the mountains and forests was unexpectedly cold, and suddenly, there was a rustle of branches rubbing in my ears, although I had the heart to dodge, but I still couldn't dodge, there was a hot pain on my face, and for some reason, my vision became a little blurred, I suspected that this silver light was poisonous, but I didn't know what kind of weapon was flying.
I immediately used my luck dantian to protect my body, although the effect was very small, but at least I was able to cheer up my spirits and resist some ordinary attacks.
"Who the hell is it? Have the ability to come out and meet up?! "I shouted around, but no one answered, they were smart enough not to reveal anything about their identity, and they had the intent to kill me.
Suddenly, several more silver lights struck, and I dodged with instinct and intuition, but I still couldn't dodge completely, although they all avoided the vital point, but my body was grazed by this silver light.
Even though he protected himself with qi, he was still attacked by the poison on these silver rays, and his body and spirit felt more and more exhausted.
My heart sank, this body is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid it next time.
A few silver rays flew out of the woods again, and although I was alert in my heart, my body was no longer mobilized and could not be avoided, and just when I thought that maybe I would die here, suddenly a curtain of light yarn blocked my eyes, and those silver rays of light light hit the light yarn but seemed to become soft, and then fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a figure who was also carrying a lantern blocked my eyes, and the candle flame illuminated the back in my eyes, which made me cry out in surprise: "Sister Lingyin, why are you here?" Didn't you go and find a medicine guide?! ”
Senior Sister Lingyin didn't look back, but replied in a deep voice: "When I came back, I found that Wang Hao was kidnapped by someone and didn't know who kidnapped him, and even the teacher in charge of the guard didn't know who had poisoned him and was unconscious, and the note he left told me to come to Houshan, I found that something was wrong, and the only thing I could associate with was Huang Tianhao, a damn brute, and why are you here?" ”
I covered my cheeks: "Yaoguang was also captured by them"
"Tsk, it's really not as good as a brute!" Saying that, Senior Sister Lingyin raised her voice: "I have long heard that Huang Tianhao has a powerful poison master, and the weapon he uses is a poison needle, I think you don't have to hide it!" ”
A man replied coldly from the woods: "Yes, I am the poisoner under the young master you said"
Although I have also heard about it from Zhao Bin, but it is not as surprised and stunned as my own exposure, Senior Sister Lingyin continued to shout: "It seems that he Huang Tianhao has finally revealed his true nature, and he wants us to die, and chooses to do it in this kind of place that is not subject to school rules, he is really bold, and he is not afraid that someone will settle accounts with him in the future!" ”
"I'm afraid you can't wait for that" The man's cold voice echoed in the woods, and as soon as the words fell, several silver lights rushed out, but unlike last time, this time the silver light was sharper and faster.
Senior Sister Suzune waved the light yarn in one hand and used the qi in the other hand to send the lantern and a small bottle to my eyes: "Take the lantern for me!" There's an antidote in the vial! ”
I didn't hesitate and took the two things at once, and it was only then that Suzune-senpai concentrated on fending off round after round of silver light flying out of the woods with light veil.
After taking the antidote, there was a hint of coolness in my body, and I suddenly felt relaxed and my spirit was much clearer.
I immediately jumped up to my senior sister and asked softly, "What do you need me to help with?" ”
The senior sister, who was constantly resisting the silver light flying out, said, "Help me find the location of that poisoner!" And then use that as a signal! As she spoke, the senior sister threw me a bamboo tube again: "Just inject the qi and then throw it into the sky!" ”
"Good!" I took the bamboo tube, took advantage of the support of the senior sister, followed the direction of the silver light flying out, and rushed into the woods with the lantern, I need to find the location of the poison master as soon as possible to share the pressure for the senior sister.
But I neglected to know that the candlelight in my lantern, though faint, was especially conspicuous in the darkness of the forest.
The poisoner is not stupid, he will not wait for me to find him, he will definitely dodge secretly, the opponent is good at using long-range throwers, which makes us always out of the upper hand, and very passive, it is very difficult to lure him out, and I can't think of any more suitable countermeasures in my head.
But at that moment, the silver light suddenly changed its position and target, and flew out from my side, and I immediately took a few steps back, and happened to dodge, saving myself and the lantern. At this time, Sister Suzune also ran over.
The two of us looked around, the opponent was in the dark, we were in the light, and the opponent was very cautious, and the attack was very deadly, and we could say that there was no hope of victory when we met such an opponent.
"Be careful, his strength is above mine, just now he was just testing us," Suzune admonished.
"Yes" The poisoner's reply came from the woods again: "The young master asked me not to kill you first, and asked me to have a good time with you"
I frowned, and Senior Sister Lingyin shouted, "Listen to this, is Huang Tianhao's thing also here?" Let you play with us, he is so funny! ”
"Hehe, don't say it so ugly, I just want to invite a few people over to play" This time, what came out of the woods was Huang Tianhao's cold laughter.
"Huang Tianhao, where did you hide Wang Hao and Yaoguang?!" Sister Suzune shouted angrily.
"Don't worry, they're safe now, I just want to play a game with both of you and see who wins"
"What tricks do you want to play?!"
"It's very simple, I poisoned the two of them respectively, but I have only one antidote here, just put it on the top of this mountain, you need to find it yourself, as for who to save, it's up to you, but there is also a time limit, if you can't find the antidote before dark, then the two of them, it's hard to say!"
"You're so ruthless, aren't you afraid that the school will investigate this?!"
"Investigation? Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about, this is outside the school, and the school's regulations can't control here, and even if it is investigated, who in the east dares to check me? ”
"Don't forget, you are a student of this school, even if you are outside the school, you will be subject to the school's investigation and school rules!!"
"Don't worry, I've thought of this a long time ago, so naturally there is a way to deal with it, you don't have to worry about it, you better take care of your own life and these two people's lives first, right?! By the way, you have to have a good time, don't ruin everyone's fun! Hahahaha" said, Huang Tianhao's arrogant voice echoed throughout the forest.
"Tsk, if I find Huang Tianhao, I will kill him!" Senior Sister Lingyin stomped her feet angrily, and then said softly: "But Huang Tianhao didn't expect that I already got the antidote that can cure all kinds of poisons in my hand, but it is only enough for one person, this thing is really difficult to get."
Although I was also angry in my heart, I was still wary that I needed to be calm at this time, and when I heard my senior sister say this, I felt a little more relieved, so I lowered my voice: "Since this is the case, it will be easy to do, we only need to find another antidote, we can rescue the two of them, in this way, let's go to the top of the mountain first"
"Good!" Suzune-senpai nodded in agreement.
But the road up the mountain is far more difficult than we imagined, the poisoner has been using poison needles to hinder us from going up the mountain, although this kind of offensive is single and simple, but the trouble is that the poison needle is a small thing, and it is smeared with toxins, and the environment is dark at this time is not conducive to observation, it is very laborious to deal with.
Senior Sister Lingyin has entered the realm of transformation, and has a deeper understanding and control of the use of qi, even if the light yarn in her hand is torn, she can still use gas to turn into a weapon, so she can barely deal with it, but I can't, I still haven't broken through the gas injection stage, not to mention that there is no weapon in my hand, and it basically depends on Senior Sister to resist the poison needle, and I can only keep dodging.
Senior sister and I both have a back hand, that is, everyone who cultivates the Imperial Palace will have, our auxiliary weapons, cards.
Due to the constraints of student status, the difference in the setting of the school's cards will increase the restrictions and conditions, and once you enter the world, these restrictions will be lifted, just like the cards of other people who practice the Imperial Palace, and every place where there are conditions will set up a union, and the union will also equip each person who practices the Imperial Palace with a card and help them maintain it.
We have, if the poisoner is a cultivator, he will naturally have this kind of thing, he has not used it so far, and we naturally can't expose the hole cards.
I've never seen what Senpai's cards can summon, though, but I know exactly what my cards can summon.
Eventually, the two of us made it to the top of the mountain.
As soon as they entered the top of the mountain, the faint candlelight illuminated the gloomy road ahead, illuminating Yaoguang and Wang Hao, who were tied to two trees and unconscious.
"Yaoguang," I muttered to myself.
"Wang Hao!" Senior Sister Suzune rushed forward excitedly.
"Senior sister can't go!" I shouted to stop it, but it was too late.
At the same time that the senior sister rushed forward, several silver lights suddenly flashed from the side, and the senior sister noticed this, got up and jumped, turned around in the air a few times, and avoided the silver needle, but at this moment, the other party suddenly rushed out of a figure, taking advantage of the guardlessness of the senior sister, and directly punched it down.
"Senior sister!" I shouted and ran over and helped my senior sister up, and I saw a trace of red blood on the corner of her mouth, "Senior sister, how are you?!" ”
The senior sister covered her injured arm: "I'm fine, it's just that I've been poisoned"
"I still have the antidote here!" As I spoke, I took out the small medicine bottle that my senior sister threw at me before.
The senior sister waved her hand: "No, that's not an antidote, it's just a medicine to slow down the poison and refresh the mind, and it works for the general coma, but he didn't give me this poison, the general antidote is useless, I don't have the strength to fight now" The senior sister said weakly, her face was still pale even if it was illuminated by candlelight.
"She has been poisoned by my cartilage, and she will not recover for a while," the poisoner said lightly.
"You!" I glared at the figure, as he was wearing a night suit and covering his face, the faint candle flame could only give me a rough outline, his stature was medium, his height was average, and there were a few silver needles between the fingers of his fist: "Where's the antidote?!" "I knew that such a stupid question would be laughed at, but at the moment I couldn't think of anything else to say.
"Don't worry" He walked to Wang Hao's side, pressed his neck, and then cut the rope tied to him, pinched his neck and lifted it, and at the same time threw away the poisonous needle in his hand and took out a new poisonous needle from the belt bag he carried.
"What are you going to do?!" My senior sister and I spoke in unison, but I rushed straight forward.
And the poisoner threw the poison needle at me again, although I barely avoided the fatal position, but I was still grazed by the poison needle, suddenly, my eyes were in chaos, and the inexplicable anger in my heart was like someone suddenly ignited and exploded, and then I saw the poisoner seem to rush towards me with a cold smile.
At this point, I was so angry that I didn't know why a knife appeared in my hand.
But right now, I have long been carried away by that nameless anger, no matter when the knife appears in my hand, I directly pick it up and rush towards the poisoner.
In the blink of an eye, a knife stabbed in, and the poisoner didn't seem to have any counterattack, letting my knife enter, and bright red blood flowed down the silver-white blade.
Gradually, my mind suddenly became clear, and I saw it with a clear vision, and I saw a face, a face that made me go from shock, to astonishment, to distraction.
Thunder Fury is probably one of the most terrifying phenomena in the world that can deter the hearts of all things on this planet. Just like at this moment, the cyan lightning striking the thick and hard earth seems to punish the evil of time, the cause and effect of undeserved evil.
Tonight, the wind roared, thunder and lightning flashed, and the sudden rainstorm washed the blood red on the knife, and scattered blood flowers on the ground.
"Beidou!" The girl called out my last name as best she could.
"Hahahaha!!" They were laughing maniacally.
"Beidou! What are you doing! Beidou! Stop!! The girl's voice was even more hysterical, and beside her, the most familiar figure tied to the tree, was still asleep.
"Hahahaha!!" Their wild laughter echoed through the dark forest.
I looked at the crimson blood on my hands, and my head went blank. Not even the heart is echoing. Even when I saw the young man crawling at my feet, I suddenly panicked, and the tears in the corners of my eyes and the sweat on my forehead mixed together, dripping into the corners of my mouth, making my mouth full of bitterness.
I could only look back weakly, at the pale face behind me and at my pupils, which were constricted by fear like mine.
A man's low proclamation suddenly sounded on the badge on my chest: "Imperial Qi Department, first-year student Beidou Yayi, for committing manslaughter, should be executed, but you have no intention, so according to the school rules, you will be locked up in the back mountain, and the words of sin will be engraved on your face until you repent in your heart, otherwise you will not be able to step out of your eternal life!" ”
The man's voice still echoed in my body, and even though the voice faded away, even though I was still frozen in place, I saw a prison trapped in iron ropes before my eyes, throwing me into the endless abyss at the bottom of the mountain.
On that day, I killed someone, the girl who passed out, named Shake Light. The girl who was hysterically shouting my name was called Suzune. And the young man who was killed by my mistake is named Wang Hao.
