Chapter 42: The Beginning
"Water and meat are on sale! Only 98 Bailey! In the shops on both sides of the waterway, the aunt roared in her broken gong-like voice.
"Lease Blue, 800 Bailey, the price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied!" A middle-aged man sits by a fish pond and recommends to passers-by......
As usual, the people of the entire water city live an ordinary daily life, unaware of the impending disaster. Even if someone occasionally saw a warship moored in the sea in the distance, they only sighed curiously and turned around to go about their work.
As the day goes west, the alleys of the water city are shrouded in shadows, and the warm sunlight passes by outside the alleyway, and the light and darkness are completely separated here.
At the entrance to the alley, several corpses in black suits lay in pools of blood, blood gushing out from a finger-sized hole in their chests, staining their white shirts red.
"Don't, don't come here." Watching the approaching murderer, Spendham cried and sat on the ground and retreated into the shadows in the corner.
In a panic, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him had just met him not long ago, so he threatened: "You, aren't you CP9?" My father is your highest ruler, and if he kills me, he will not let you go. ”
Wiping the blood off his hands, Otonaku Owl flashed an ugly smile at Spandam with his zippered beak.
"What about the son of Spandain? The mention of this name disgusts me even more. I was forced to kill you, but now I'm not so resistant. Blah! ”
One last glance at the similar face, the Otono owl stopped wasting his tongue and grabbed his head with his right hand that would have prevented Spandam from reacting, and his left hand held his chin with a twist.
"Gaba!" There was a crisp thud in his neck, and Spendham's expression with tears and snot froze completely.
"Whew! That's the end of it! Clapping his hands, the Otono owl suddenly felt a little melancholy. He didn't expect that a mission would completely change the trajectory of his life, from an agent who executes justice in the dark to a criminal who is about to be secretly wanted by the world government.
"It's time to go back, I hope this Seven Martial Seas can shelter me." After looking at the time, the figure of the Otono owl flashed and disappeared without a trace.
......
In front of the shipyard, Owen finally cheered up with Ray's encouragement.
"Colonel, I'll go and evacuate the crowd first! Keep them away from here as much as possible. Knowing that he couldn't help Ray, Owen took the initiative to ask Ying to do what he could.
"So what are you going to say? Is it directly said that the navy is going to completely destroy the island because of the mistake of an idiot? This can affect the reputation of the navy. And there is no time at all, as the capital of seven waters is a large island with a population of hundreds of thousands, even if you notify the local government department, you will not be able to evacuate so many people in a short time. Compared to Irving, who was seven years older than him, Ray appeared more calm.
"So what to do? I still can't do anything. After calming down, Owen thought about all his abilities, but none of them could work at this point.
"So I said leave it to me! You just need to cheer me on silently behind my back. Lei's eyebrows drooped downward, looking helpless. He was a little sick to his stomach when he said this, but Owen still wouldn't trust him.
Although he wanted to say something more, Owen chose to keep his mouth shut after seeing the expression on Ray's face. Experience had taught him that when Ray showed this expression, it meant that his patience was almost exhausted.
"Alright, let's go to the shore now, and you'll see how I do it in a moment." Seeing that Owen was obedient, Ray waved him to follow, and he flew away directly after being elementalized.
"Smack! Smack! Unexpectedly, Ray said to leave, and Owen hurriedly followed with the moon steps.
"Colonel Ray, what about those agents down there and that pirate?" In a quick movement, Owen barely shouted a question from his mouth filled with cold wind.
"It doesn't matter!" Thunder's voice came from the front.
"What a wayward sir." Owen complained inwardly. But he didn't know how strange his current look was: a pair of thighs were bare in the air, a few rags were pulled by the wind behind his buttocks, his upper body was also naked, and his bronzed skin was greasy in the hot sun. The whole person chased the white clouds in front of him in such a curious shape, and he didn't know how many pairs of titanium alloy dog eyes he had blinded below.
"Emmmm, I'd better hurry! Suddenly I didn't really want to appear on the same screen as him. Noticing the eyes of the melon-eating crowd below, Lei looked back behind him, "Whew!" Whew! Owen, who was chasing after him, was stabbed in the eye by the sweat that flashed on his body.
As the two of them were on their way, a man who was not expected by everyone landed on the island in the midst of chaos.
"Demon Slayer Order? It seems that the yellow ape is also there, so I can't make a move. "Under the cloak, a face hidden in the shadows looms.
......
On the sea, ten battleships remained moored in place and did not move.
On the deck after learning the truth, everyone fell silent. Although almost everyone knows that artillery must be fired according to military regulations, after all, it is a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of people, and who can easily make such an inhuman decision!
"Let's call Marin Fando first and ask the Marshal of the Warring States Period! I don't think it's a decision for a few of us to make. The calm and black-bellied Huoshan took the lead in speaking, and at the same time threw the pot out.
"Hmmm! Not bad!"
"Yes, I still have to ask for advice."
"That's right, that's how it should be."
Except for the yellow ape, the other three lieutenant generals all echoed it, and there was no bottom line for throwing the pot.
Seeing that the yellow ape didn't speak, the four of them focused their eyes on him, and the meaning was self-evident: the general alternate hurriedly spoke, and then you called the worm!
"I'm obedient, when did these four goods have such a tacit understanding, it's like wearing a pair of pants." Facing the eye attack of the four people, the yellow ape helplessly raised his wrist and dialed the number of the Warring States.
"Toot! Honk! Honk! To the yellow ape's surprise, the phone bug was always busy.
"It's strange, when did the number of the Marshal of the Warring States period be so busy, and I didn't usually see him answer a few calls" The yellow ape picked his scalp and had to wait. And the four people next to him came to his side one by one with big faces, looking at them with blank eyes.
"Yellow ape? If it's about the Demon Slaying Order, you don't have to open your mouth, Ray has already conveyed it to me through Zefa. The previous busy line was because I had just finished a call with the five old stars, and the answer was that it had to be executed, do you understand? After waiting for a long time, as soon as the yellow ape got through, he heard a crackling on the other side and smashed over, and listened to the instructions in a daze.
"Does it really have to be like this? Marshal of the Warring States. The yellow ape, who couldn't be angry, had an ugly face and asked at the risk of being scolded.
"You don't have to worry, someone will solve it then, you just need to execute the order."
After the call, the yellow ape got a definite answer. Although it is not yet known what the so-called "someone solves" means, the yellow ape still ordered.
"Demon Slayer Order! Begin! ”
