Chapter 80: Shekou Escape
Hearing this, Li Mohun's hair stood on end, and he almost jumped up.
"I don't know what you're here for, there's no need to be so stiff, and we're very welcoming to all Inhumans." Medusa still looked at Li Mo lying down, and said with a thousand kinds of wind (qíng).
Li Mo tried to suppress the horror in his heart, of course he didn't believe that the other party wanted to talk to him. If it weren't for his quick reaction to the blow just now, he would already be a corpse at this moment. If he really sees through his concealment, then it is absolutely impossible for the other party to have leisure (qíng) to chat with him here, and at this moment he has no other way than to believe in his own ability.
Finding that there was no feedback, Medusa furrowed two long heroic eyebrows. She really didn't notice Li Mo's disguise, but her intuition told her that the other party was here and didn't leave. She wanted to get a good feel for the ground, but considering that the opponent had a pistol in his hand, if the opponent could really fool her eyes completely, then she really couldn't be sure of dodging a cold shot from a sticker (shēn).
In fact, the distance between the two at the moment is only six or seven meters, and everything is back to the way it started. But the difference this time is that the roles of the two have been reversed, Medusa is in the light, and Li Mo is in the dark. If it weren't for the fact that the venue factor was really unfavorable to Li Mo, then the roles of hunter and prey would probably be reversed. Li Mo believes that if the scene changes, he can at least take the lead in putting the bullet (shè) into the opponent's skull, and it is difficult to say whether he can use this to kill the opponent.
At this point, Li Mo was already sure that the other party did not see through his concealment, but was just a temptation. He was determined that he would not panic anymore, bury his head on the ground and not look at Medusa, and made up his mind that as long as the other party did not step on his back, he would never risk attacking. I've learned a lot from this expedition, and I can't afford to die here until I bring this information back. Of course, if the other party really dares to get closer, he doesn't mind letting it go.
Just as the awkward confrontation was about to continue, a voice rang out in Medusa's head again
"My lord, the ceremony has been prepared, how is your situation over there (qíng)?"
Medusa couldn't help frowning, she wasn't completely sure that her opponent was hiding here, and if she continued to consume like this, it would be a reversal of the cart if she let the other party take the opportunity to ruin the ritual. Thinking of this, she tapped her teeth to trigger the switch and said in a loud voice
"Let the rats run away, don't act rashly, and wait for me to go back and start the ritual." After saying that, Medusa was cold, snorted coldly, and walked towards the intersection (shè) behind her, climbed onto the staggered pipes, and left here in the blink of an eye.
Li Moqing, who was motionless on the ground, heard the other party's words clearly, and he didn't dare to look up, although the sound of the enemy leaving came from afar, he still felt that the eyes were locked on him (shēn). Seeing that the sun had begun to set in the west, he didn't mind waiting another hour since he had waited so long.
He didn't know who Medusa was talking to just now, but it seemed that there was some ceremony waiting for her to participate in, Li Mo suppressed the surging curiosity, it would be stupid to die because of negligence at this time. After waiting for nearly half an hour, a gray (shēn) shadow flashed away in the distance, leaving behind a cold snort that he could never have heard.
Li Mo felt that the pressure of Hun (shēn) was light, and those two seemingly nonexistent gazes finally disappeared. The top and bottom of the mud (shēn) had long been soaked in cold sweat, and the cotton underwear had absorbed enough water and stuck to the (shēn), mixed with various metal utensils hanging on the upper (shēn), and the wind blew a chill to the bone. Li Mo relaxed his tense nerves and took small breaths.
After waiting for another half hour, he carefully moved his numb limbs, and slowly got up from the ground, the blood that had accumulated for a long time flowed rapidly, and the numb and itchy sensation spread throughout the whole (shēn). Li Mo snorted, slowly moved his hands and feet to promote the flow of blood, tightened the 92 pistol in his hand, and walked quickly in the direction where Medusa disappeared, disappearing into the complex terrain of buildings. It was only at this moment that he felt a glimmer of peace of mind.
After confirming that the other party had indeed left, Li Mo began to sort out the details of this encounter. Now it seems that what the other party said before leaving was just to deceive herself, but in the end she still chose to leave, which shows that there is indeed something (qíng) waiting for her. Then this direction of leaving in front of him should not be the real direction, and it is safe here for the time being. Li Mo took out the energy tablet and began to replenish his strength, and after confirming that he was out of danger, he began to be interested in the "ritual" in Medusa's mouth again, it seems that behind the betrayal of the wounded years, it is far from being as simple as imagined. Hidden under S City is a deep undercurrent that far exceeds the expectations of the ministry, Li Mo sighed as he looked at the dim sun that was no longer dazzling in the dusk
"Knight, knight, how many things do you have to hide from the ministry..."
……
Medusa stared at Li Mo from a distance for half an hour, but still didn't see any flaws, so she had no choice but to leave. Whether or not her opponent can really hide in front of her, she can't go on like that. She really didn't mind wrestling with the other party for a few hours, but if she misjudged and the other party had really escaped, then she couldn't afford the consequences of the ritual being ruined. Even the arrogant she had to admit that she lost the fight.
Medusa walked quickly through the ruins of the factory, and since he had lost his target, he was left alone. The reason why she took the risk of appearing in front of Li Mo just now was that on the one hand, she really wanted to lure Li Mo to make a move to determine if he was really hiding in place. On the other hand, she also wanted to test whether the other party was still hiding other hole cards, and the other party's reaction when she made her first shot, and her eagerness to flee had initially shown that he was not a fighter like Wounded Nian. Whether it is really escaping, or showing yourself in the open door or not choosing to attack yourself, it shows that the other side is trying to avoid a frontal conflict.
If you can swagger and hold a military-standard firearm here, the other party's (shēn) share is self-evident, and it must be a member of the disaster department. Now Shangguan Shanshui is lying in the ICU ward of the emergency center in S City, and he doesn't know anything about the sect of the disaster department in S City.
Losing an A-class alien is not a trivial matter, Medusa certainly doesn't believe that the Ministry of Disaster can put this matter down so lightly, time is very precious for both parties, while the Ministry of Disaster has not yet noticed the really serious problems in the whole incident, it is the top priority to grab more advantages as soon as possible.
Soon Medusa came to the back of the entire refinery, which was the northernmost part of the entire site, because the fire was too close to the mountain to prevent rescue, so the office area of the staff was chosen to be placed here during the original construction. This layout fully reflects the style of the times when collective interests are greater than individual interests, and the importance of production resources even exceeds the importance of life, which can be seen in the tube.
The refinery was eventually abandoned and cleaned up, times have changed, and those who fought with dreams may never have imagined that their dreams would come true so quickly in this magical land, that they would be so fast that they would be in a dream. Only these ruins that are out of place with the times still show that those years of hard struggle are far from being as far away as we imagined.
In the northwest corner of this work area, there is a huge warehouse, and the contents of it have been emptied many years ago. At this moment, a group of people in black robes were busy inside, drawing a huge ** array with a radius of more than ten meters with blood and mercury on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent mercury vapor and the smell of blood. Several worshippers were holding parchment to confirm the details of the circle, while others were carrying boxes of various sizes to make final preparations for the ceremony.
A white-haired man (shēn) in a black robe studded with silver ornaments was directing the work of the crowd when he saw Medusa walking in, and hurriedly greeted him and whispered, "Lord Priest, everything is ready." ”
"How long will it take to start? How long does it take to wait? Medusa asked, looking at the circle
"The fastest is just to wait for the sun to set, and that's it." The man replied, "It's 4:40, and in less than two hours, the sun will go down completely." ”
"Can't wait that long, let's start now." Medusa said coldly
"Now? But..."The white-haired man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The sun hasn't set yet..."
"Wouldn't it be nice to block out the sun?" Medusa said impatiently, "Let's move faster, block out the light, and start the ceremony as soon as possible." ”
The white-haired man did not dare to disobey Medusa's order, and hurriedly ordered the congregation to cover all the windows. Fortunately, although the warehouse was tall, there were few and small windows for ventilation and light, and several believers set up ladders and began to work. After arranging the work, the white-haired man returned to Medusa (shēn) and said
"But my lord, didn't the High Priest say that the ritual must begin at night?"
"Isn't it night when the sun goes down?" Medusa said
"But the sun hasn't set yet..."
"Then wait for half an hour when the windows are covered, and then you tell everyone that the sun has set." Medusa said rather indifferently
"This..."The white-haired man was dumbfounded, Medusa's status in the sect was a high-ranking priest second only to the high priest, and the rest of the ordinary sect members naturally did not dare to come forward when the two talked to each other. Although he knew that the congregants who were busy in the distance could not hear the conversation between the two clearly, he was more careful to lower his voice, "My lord, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait until after eight o'clock? ”
"Somebody broke in, and it slipped out of my hands. I'm worried that things will change later, so it's better to start sooner. ”
"What if the enemy finds out in the middle of the ceremony? Isn't it better to find the intruder first? The white-haired man immediately became nervous when he heard that the other party had managed to escape from Medusa's hands.
"Find? Well, you go find him now. That way I don't have to rush to start the ritual. Medusa squinted at the white-haired man with cold golden eyes and chuckled
The white-haired man immediately felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and cold sweat instantly crawled all over his back. Since the other party has the ability to escape from Medusa and get rid of the tracking, how can he find it. But he couldn't help but say
"What if there is an accident in the middle of the ceremony?"
"If he hadn't been stupid enough to have escaped from me, he would have left, and besides, it was getting late, and he wouldn't be able to touch it for a while. I've gathered the kids around the warehouse, and if he does find it, I don't mind multiple offerings. After Medusa finished speaking, she looked at the members of the congregation who were nailing black cloth to the windows, and silently began to estimate the time the ceremony would take.
The white-haired man knew that the decision made in advance could not be changed, and he did not dare to say anything more. Leaving Medusa (shēn), he urged the busy congregants to speed up their progress.
Medusa watched as several narrow windows were obscured one by one, the darkness quickly and powerfully devouring the light in the Devourer's warehouse, and when the last window was obscured, all light was dispelled, and everything was shrouded in darkness. Believers sat on their knees around the outer edge of the huge circle, silently reciting scriptures, and in front of them was a silver candlestick with a huge candle inserted on it, which was lit only when the presiding officer announced the beginning of the ceremony. The white-haired man silently counted the time, the silent darkness would greatly affect the perception of time, and it was not difficult to fool these devout believers, he only waited for half an hour to announce the beginning of the ceremony.
Medusa stood in the distance and saw that everything was ready, and she reached out and began to slowly remove the clothes from her (shēn)...
