Chapter 32: Hill Joins [Second Update]
Even though Hill is extremely outstanding in agility, has extremely strong motor nerves, and has an extremely fast reaction speed, there is still a gap in absolute strength in front of a reincarnation person like Saga who has opened the second-order genetic lock and is also an emperor envoy.
Even if Saga didn't open the genetic lock, just triggering the power increase of the Emperor Honkai King, it would force Ciel into a life-and-death crisis in a few moves.
But.
Just when Saga was about to slap Ciel and pinch Ciel's neck, his gaze changed suddenly, and he gave up attacking Ciel without hesitation, and the Honkai King in his right hand punched him fiercely in the rear.
From behind him, two sword lights poured like flowing water, colliding with his fists, emitting a crisp sound of gold and iron under the silent night sky.
"Die, bastard."
Leonay's figure also appeared from the side and kicked Saga hard.
Saga's complexion changed again, although he had opened the second-order gene lock during the day, and repeated use in a short period of time would cause some damage, but he couldn't care too much at the moment, and he unlocked the second-order gene lock again, and his right leg swept upward, colliding with Leona's flying kick.
Because he was in a hurry, and there was a Lu Ning on the front, he had no intention of being tough, so he simply relaxed the game, deliberately flew out upside down by Leonay's kick, and even took the initiative to take advantage of the situation to fly backwards.
"You ......"
Hill didn't understand what was going on, and the calmness and sharpness he had had before vanished, revealing a somewhat dazed expression.
"Let's go!"
Leona didn't go after Saga either, she had already seen that among the people rushing to this side were the Imperial Envoys, and even the strong men of the Imperial Fist Temple, and they grabbed Hill with one hand and fled deeper into the street.
Lu Ning did not hesitate, and retreated into the dark street with Leonay.
"Abominable ......"
Saga fell dozens of meters away, and after regaining his footing, he looked at the direction where Lu Ning and Leonai disappeared with a gloomy face, but he didn't intend to catch up.
Although it seems that there are only two people, Lu Ning and Leonay, who knows if Lu Ning has set up some ambush, the contractor who has been trained in the anime world is not the weak person he imagined, and he has learned a lesson.
Now although he has fallen into a disadvantage, there are only two people left in the reincarnation team, but the advantage is that the forces on the side of the empire still have the absolute upper hand, and it is not difficult to gather enough imperial envoys who can match the night attack, and even can easily achieve a numerical advantage!
Until he has an absolute numerical advantage, he will act cautiously and cautiously.
……
After being taken by Leonay for a few steps, Hill instinctively followed, and the group of three people quickly walked through the streets, avoiding the imperial capital guards that appeared everywhere, and Leonay took Lu Ning and Ciel to the three-story roof of an old mansion.
All three of them slipped through the windows in the darkness of the night.
"This is the old house of a friend of mine, she has died, the lower floors are occupied, and the top floor is used as a place to store groceries, and no one will find it for a while."
Leona rubbed her neck and stretched her body for a moment, she lifted the transformation of the Lion King and returned to her normal form.
Ciel also breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Leonay, and said in a gentle and cute tone: "Thank you very much." ”
“……”
The corners of Leona's mouth twitched.
Then he began to thank her, and he completely lost his guard, and from the tone of his voice, he seemed to trust her directly......
"Ciel, this is Leonay."
Lu Ning smiled at Ciel and introduced Leonay.
Hill felt a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange for a while, so he still said to Leonay: "I'm Hill, thank you for today." ”
"Uh-huh."
Leona snorted, sat down cross-legged, and said, "You're welcome, it's a trivial matter." ”
Hill was about to continue to thank him, when he suddenly blinked, vaguely thought of something, and looked at Lu Ning with a confused look.
This person...... She doesn't seem to know her.
Obviously looks very familiar with her, but she herself has no impression at all, has she forgotten? But it's kind of weird.
Hill hesitated and hesitated, but still whispered to Lu Ning:
"Ah, that, who are you?"
"yes, I'm sorry, I really can't remember."
Because he was worried that there was something wrong with his memory and offended Lu Ning, Hill immediately added an apology.
Leonay, who was watching this scene, rolled her eyes.
Why, there is no way to connect Hill with the sharp and decisive killer just now, who has perfect movements!
It's a different person!
"Huh? Have you forgotten? ”
Lu Ning showed a look of surprise, looked at Hill, and said, "You saved me before, and I had no money to eat at that time, but you even gave me your wallet." ”
"Yes...... Is that so? ”
Hill showed a confused little look, vaguely feeling as if there was such a thing, but it didn't seem to have such a thing, but when he helped others, he even gave out his wallet, which seemed to be something that he could have done.
Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you forget, forget it, I also saved you once today, which is considered to be a tie." ”
"Hmm...... Oh......"
Hill replied in a daze.
The corners of Leonay's mouth twitched, and she said to Ciel, "Then again, the killer who was hung on the bounty order a month ago should be you, killing Lord Dick." ”
Hill was impressed by this and nodded.
Hearing Ciel's words, Leona couldn't help but exhale and said, "Well, it turned out that you killed it, if it weren't for you, I would have wanted to send that scum to hell." ”
"...... that bastard"
Speaking of this, a trace of coldness and gloom flashed in Leonay's eyes, and she clenched her fists and said, "I took my friend and abused her for three days, and finally I found her body in the alley at the end of the street, and she was no longer human. ”
"That guy had already captured at least five people in the slums before you killed them, and the others couldn't even find their bodies."
Speaking of this, Leona couldn't help but let out another breath, looked at Lu Ning and said, "So that's why I joined you without hesitation." ”
"This bunch of scum, all of them deserve to hell!"
"Yes."
Hill nodded and whispered, "Although I can't do anything, God has also given me the same ability, that is, to rid the world of scum......"
Leona smiled at Ciel and said, "Well, it's good to think like this, I approve of you!" ”
Lu Ning shrugged, looked at Hill, and said, "What is your situation now, a person is doing a killer?" Or is it followed by some organization? ”
"Because I'm already wanted, I'm a person."
Hill sat down and responded to Lu Ning.
There are not many underground organizations that dare to take in the wanted criminals of the Empire, because the backstage of many underground organizations is almost all the nobles and bureaucratic forces of the Empire, and in the case of being wanted, once implicated, the entire organization may be uprooted.
"Then you can join us."
Lu Ning looked at Hill and said calmly: "Our organization is also doing the same work as you, and compared to you alone, we have intelligence and manpower on our side, and the efficiency of removing scum is much higher than that of a single person." ”
"Huh?"
Hill opened his mouth slightly, and after being slightly stunned, he whispered again: "Also, forget it, I'm a wanted criminal on the imperial bounty, if I implicate you......"
"That's fine!"
Leona sat down, put her arm around Ciel's shoulders, and said with a grin, "I'm also a wanted criminal, and there are a lot of wanted criminals in our organization." ”
"This ...... Is that so? ”
After being stunned for a while, Hill nodded, looked at Lu Ning and Leonay, and said in a gentle voice that seemed to be healing his heart: "Then, please advise me more in the future." ”
