Chapter 57: The Way I Look
Today's moon is very big and round, and Li Zhen thinks that maybe it is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
Just to his left, with the full moon as the background, a slender figure stood out of thin air.
The other party had her back to the moon, so Li Zhen couldn't see her face clearly, only knowing that Lu Dao was indeed Kitagawa Qingming's figure - slender and long, with slender limbs, and it seemed that she was also wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform.
She was watching him as she followed him.
It's just that the other party doesn't seem to be moving, but it seems that the whole space has become a background, and it is slowly pumped up by a hand. It's undoubtedly her ability – she's in the air.
Ice...... O Lord of the Winds.
She was only eighteen years old.
However, at the moment, Li Zhen spread his limbs and fell in the whistling wind - this posture that originally looked unique looked much more embarrassing compared to Beichuan. A wry smile crossed his lips as he tried to speak.
However, a mouth was filled with gale winds. It was almost the same as drowning—but more intense. It reminded him of a saying: the wind flashes the tongue.
It's just right.
But in the next moment, it was as if someone had put a mask on him, and the wind whistling in his ears disappeared all at once. The sudden silence made him feel a little uncomfortable for a while, and his eardrums were still buzzing.
That ethereal and dreamy voice came again: "Why don't you fly?" ”
"With the Lord of Ice, Snow and Wind at my side, what am I afraid of?" Li Zhen said, "But you never wanted me to see you...... What's going on? ”
The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid of scaring you." ”
"Ha Lu Ha...... It's not like I haven't seen you. Li Zhen laughed. You can't be scarier than a species. Or have you never seen me transform - all over my face with scales? ”
Beichuan seemed to smile: "If you are not afraid, I can let you see the real me." ”
Li Zhen was slightly stunned - "the real me"?
But the other party is already close. It's a real "wind resistance" - he still maintains a posture with his hands down, as if he is standing quietly on the ground, but the distance between the two is less than two meters.
"How do you feel when you see me like this?"
Li Zhen opened his mouth slightly.
Indeed, it is still the familiar silhouette of Kitagawa Qingming. However......
Her hair is white. Her eyebrows are also white. Her eyes ...... It's like two lakes of water.
Light blue, clear, calm lake water. But not the pale blue eyes of a Caucasian person - she didn't have the whites of her eyes.
And the lips are dark blue, like the deepest ice.
Such hair and facial features matched with the pale and almost transparent face - if Li Zhen hadn't been mentally prepared, he would definitely not have been stunned for just two seconds.
It was a face that looked almost expressionless, as if it had been completely frozen by the extreme cold. It may be very common in anime or horror movies, but it is so realistic......
No wonder she said, "I'm afraid to scare you".
However, Li Zhen immediately smiled: "Although it is a little unexpected, it is not bad." You should know that many young people nowadays are deliberately pursuing this kind of makeup effect - but it is not as real and natural as you. ”
Kitagawa moved the corners of his mouth slightly. But there was a chill in his smile: "There's always no one who likes you, right?" ”
"Just a friend." Li Zhen looked at the Ueno Kanliu below. He has opened the parachute. The whole person seemed to be rising rapidly, and the distance between the three of them was rapidly narrowing. So Li Zhen also tried to open his umbrella bag.
There were no glitches to worry about and nothing unexpected happened. The black parachute, like a heavy dark cloud, popped out of its back and bloomed high in the sky. The speed of the fall slowed down suddenly, and the body changed from flat to erect - it was much more comfortable after all.
But at this time. Beichuan said another sentence in that calm tone.
"Can't you fly?"
It's like asking, "What time is it?" or "Have you eaten?" or "Where did you get this dish......?"
She asked casually.
Then stared intently at Li Zhen's face.
Li Zhen also looked at her. Said slowly: "What answer do you want to hear?" ”
Kitagawa shook his head. It seems that curiosity is fleeting: "Just inquire." Make sure you have the ability to run for your life in the event of an accident. ”
"Don't worry about me. Worry about that one. Li Zhen looked at the Ueno Kanliu diagonally below.
"Huh...... I trust him. Kitagawa's eyes curved slightly, as if he was smiling.
Then she whispered, "It's going to land." ”
So Li Zhen felt that his body suddenly lightened, as if he was weightless. However, this is not the same as weightlessness – a myriad of subtle air currents acting on the body. Balance and motivate him from all angles. It felt like a shower with a showerhead, except that the hot water was replaced by a 360-degree all-round airflow.
It turns out that's how she felt when she was flying.
The speed decreased, and the parachute on the back slowly floated down. But there seemed to be an invisible blade in the air - Li Zhen felt a slight tightness on his back, and then saw the big umbrella like a dark cloud leave his body and slowly float away not far away.
The half-withered dense forest was at his feet, and he and Ueno Kanliu were wrapped in the breeze summoned by Kitagawa, and they avoided the branches of the branches without danger and landed safely.
Volcanic ash fell in a flutter, like the embers of a campfire. You can feel the temperature around you rise significantly, and the whole forest area is like the middle of summer. Just by untying the backpack behind him, fine sweat was already oozing from his face.
A faint light can be seen in the distance, which seems to be the forward base of the inspection hall in the mouth of Ueno Kanyanagi. But Beichuan must have used the air flow to do something, and no one over there noticed the movement of these three people.
Li Zhen let out a slight sigh and buried his backpack in the volcanic ash. Then he asked in a low voice, "It's just the three of us?" What about recycling equipment? ”
Ueno Kanyanagi pointed to the inspection hall front on the other side of the lava lake: "The weapon system and force field restriction equipment are on standby 24 hours a day. The Inspectorate's forward headquarters was five hundred meters away, and you could see there—there were only a few minimal groups of vigilant soldiers along the lake. In a moment our men will take control of those devices - now they should be in action. So now...... President, it's your turn. ”
The latter sentence was said to Haruaki Kitagawa . The tone was quite respectful, and he didn't care about the other party's real age at all.
Kitagawa nodded.
Then she closed her eyes and slowly raised her hands. The pure white hair floated slightly, and the whole person seemed to be free from the constraints of gravity, and even the volcanic ash near her body was slowly suspended in midair.
But nothing seems to have happened.
Everything was still as calm as ever, and the lights in the distance hadn't changed much.
The stars in the sky are still shining slightly, and the heat wave in the magma lake is still steaming. From time to time, sparks flew out of the stratus clouds in the distance, pulling the figures of the three of them to the ground for a long time.
The magma lake was huge, and their shore was only a few dozen meters away. As a result, Li Zhen could hear the muffled sound of lava tumbling and bubbles bursting. It seems that because there are no insects and birds around, the muffled sound seems to be getting louder and louder.
That's right...... The sound is getting louder.
It was as if it was being held in a huge cover, and the sound shock reverberated and superimposed on top of each other. Although the increase was not obvious because of the vast area of the "lake", Li Zhen was able to distinguish the change with his keen hearing.
He thought of something, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.
Finally, I found that near the weapon platform along the lake that Ueno Kanyanagi was pointing to, a transparent arc appeared in the air. The arc reflected the faint moonlight, and the arc was not large, but it was closer to a straight line. If the whole picture of this arc light is restored according to its curvature, then you will find ......
A huge shroud, with a radius of nearly half a kilometer, enveloped an entire area near the magma lake.
This is the masterpiece of Haruaki Kitagawa.
It was at this time that a figure appeared in the dense forest. Black tight-fitting combat suits, armed with assault rifles, numbered dozens of people. They reduced the distance between themselves and the guards of the weapon system to within effective range at great speed, and then opened fire without hesitation, despite the loud warnings of the other side.
The crisp sound of continuous firing echoed in the night sky, but it was completely unable to penetrate the barrier of the air cover. Actually, it might be a bit of a mistake to say that it is an air hood - it should be a barrier formed by a vacuum area. The muzzle flames were inconspicuous in the background light of the lava lake, and the defenders' communications systems seemed to be blocked by something - apparently there were other abilities among the raiders.
The exchange of fire was extremely short, and in fact it was more like a one-sided slaughter.
Kitagawa must have done something else while making that vacuum hood. Because Li Zhen noticed that there were fine ice chips on the shore of the lava lake a few dozen meters away, an area that should have been extremely hot. The lethality of instantaneous low temperature will not be inferior to that of a warhead. It's just that being able to pinpoint every target of the enemy in such a short period of time is truly incredible.
Ueno watched in silence at what was happening in the distance—those who fell seemed to be his former colleagues or subordinates. However, he only shook his head slightly, and said softly, "It's cleaned up." ”
He then put his finger behind his ear and gave the order to the raiders: "Confirm status, enter battle mode." ”
There was a response from the other end. The lights of the weapons systems along the shore lit up one after another, and the snowy light from one searchlight after another pierced the thick dust mist above the lava lake like a sharp sword, and projected it on the surface of the lake. Then follow the guidance of the high-power detector and move slowly, and finally converge in one place.
"It's right here." Ueno Kanliu raised his hand to the spot of light in the distance and said in a deep voice.
Until this time, the command of the inspection hall in the distance had not moved. (To be continued.) )
