Chapter 11: Rescue
These very characteristic buildings in Loulan are not difficult to infiltrate, and they are not the kind of closed fortresses. What's more, Yuzo also has the ability to perceive lines, which can play a better role in such a small building.
If someone who doesn't know about this city comes in, I'm afraid it will feel terrifying. Pedestrians on the road, there is not a real living person in every room, including the palace where the queen is...
All are puppets.
After infiltrating the palace from the lowest level of the ground, Yuzo avoided all the patrolling golems along the way. Layer by layer, I walked up to the top, and there was basically no trouble.
He's fast.
The higher you go, the more often the golems appear, until an entire corridor on a certain level is filled with golems guarding them, and not a single fly is allowed to fly in without being noticed.
However, Yuzo's perception line has already found its target.
At the center of this heavily guarded floor is Sarah's bedroom. These chopstick-like buildings are not large in diameter, and the perceptual range of ten meters in the next floor can completely envelop the place where Sara is, noticing the changes of each moment.
Sara was eating, but now her mind was not on food, it tasted like chewing wax.
Ever since her mother's death, she had been alone in such a place, and had hardly seen anyone else. Of course, there is also An Lushan, and Loulan's current actual controller will often come to see her.
Sara is not stupid, she knows that she has always been controlled like those puppets, but as long as the civilians of Loulan can live well, she doesn't care much about this meaningless position of queen.
This An Lushan has been around since she can remember, and when she was a child, this person was her mother's right-hand man, and it is said that she brought a lot of benign changes to Loulan. And after the death of her mother, Sara put her mind on learning how to be a useful queen worthy of the people's dependence, and when she came back to her senses, she had no way to go out and contact others at will, and the entire Loulan was controlled by An Lushan in the palm of her hand.
But she could still see her people at some of the celebrations, and they all looked good, and the city was always peaceful.
Is that really the case?
I couldn't eat anything anymore, Sara was stunned for a while, and then remembered the guy who called himself a Konoha ninja before, help yourself? What to do for her...
What could she do to help, to leave An Lushan's imprisonment? But Loulan still needs her as a queen, at least on the surface.
When her mother was still there, she would always tell her that the people of Loulan needed the queen's leadership to overcome difficulties and obstacles together and live happily.
These words are the motivation for her to persevere.
After collecting her mood, it wasn't long before she needed to appear in front of her people and let them see that Queen Loulan was still living with them and leading them.
At this time, it was very solemn, and Sara did not allow herself to make mistakes.
In a square outside, many "people" slowly gathered. They walked mechanically, slowly filling the open space outside the palace, and from a distance it really looked like a scene of rubbing shoulders, except that they were all dressed in clothes that concealed their faces, and did not reveal the details of their bodies.
This kind of event is the grandest show in Loulan, whether it is when the former queen is still there, or when the current queen rarely shows up.
However, in some dark and remote places, there are still some people who look at this scene with an unwilling face.
A thin young man said viciously: "Damn An Lushan! Her Majesty the previous Queen has been blinding Lord Sara since her death, and the good Loulan has been made like this by him! Don't let me find a chance, or I'll have to break him to pieces!" ”
"Save it, what can we do? It's not a legendary ninja, there's no way to stop him. A little fat man beside him said disapprerovingly.
The two of them hid in the narrow partition space between the two tall buildings, watching the puppets gathered from a distance.
They don't dare to go out, and in the face of these dangerous puppets, as ordinary people, there is no way to resist, not to mention that there are so many of them? If they are caught, they will be sent to work in the underground puppet factories just like their captured companions.
It was better to live than to die, and more than once they had seen the corpses that had been carried out and discarded in the puppet factory, and there were even acquaintances they had known before.
In the past few years, they can only survive like rats living in the dark underground, carefully grasping the hope of survival every day.
It's not that no one wants to rebel against An Lushan, but they have all turned into corpses.
"Look! The queen is out! The thin man said with surprise in his tone, and he pointed to the distance where it was almost impossible to see, Sara, who was dressed in a formal dress, was actually as small as an ant in his eyes.
In the hearts of the people of Loulan, the queen is their savior-like existence, and they have been taught by their parents and elders since they were young to truly love and respect the queen. And the queen of Loulan also thinks about them and fulfills the obligations of a leader.
This ideal country-like way of living was destroyed by a guy named An Lushan.
It's not that no one has complaints about the current queen, and that's understandable. To the others, Sara was doing the same thing every day, meeting the puppets regularly, as if she had no idea what her people were suffering.
In fact, she really didn't know.
However, there are still very few people who think so, and these two people, one fat and one thin, are loyal supporters of the queen. In their eyes, Sara was just blinded, not that she didn't want to save them.
It's a pity that An Lushan has the power to make people desperate.
As they stared at the disguised bustle, Sara suddenly felt a tremendous force drag her body up to the outside of the railing.
What's going on? She shouted in panic, and the next moment her body fell down dozens of meters in the air, and if she fell to the ground like this, she would definitely turn into a pile of meat sauce that no one recognized.
At this moment, time slowed down in her senses.
The people on the ground didn't seem to react to the situation, still waving their arms regularly and making celebratory body language.
What's going on? Sarah, whose mind became faster under the stimulation, was full of doubts, who was going to kill herself? An Lushan? Why don't these people react in the slightest bit to their fall? Am I the queen so bad that they wish they were going to die?
The strange feeling came to an abrupt end the next moment, and Sara felt a hand envelop her body.
The person who hugged her was the guy she had met in the inner court of the dragon vein before, and the young man who was about the same age as her had a calm face, and the arm holding her body also felt particularly powerful, and there was a sense of security that made people feel at ease.
Who the hell is this guy? Konoha Ninja? To help yourself?
With the swift passing scenery and the whirring of the wind, Sara felt as if she was flying. It's really amazing, are ninjas all like that? She had only seen An Lushan's ability to control those puppets, but she had never seen other ninjas.
Yuzang is naturally not flying, although he has the ability to empty the road, but like Spider-Man, he leads the line and moves like a swing in these high-rise buildings in Loulan, which saves chakra and energy.
Find a relatively low building and stop on the first floor to put the girl down. I don't know if it was the thrill of falling from a high altitude just now that scared her, Sara sat on the ground with some weak legs.
There was some dust on the floor of the large rectangular stone bricks, and Sarah's clothes suddenly became a little dirty.
Yuzang was a little embarrassed: "How is it, are you okay?"
It seemed that this inquiry brought Sara back to her senses, and she let out a meaningless syllable "ah", then touched her face and said, "I'm saved?"
At this time, thinking of the experience just now, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
