41. Belief in Survival

I sat in the humble lounge, and the cry of Conse's daughter still echoed in my ears.

She was sad and scared. She is bound to be one of those who take the pills, degenerate into a thief, or worse.

Or worse.

I couldn't do anything for her, I couldn't take her away, I couldn't adopt her, I couldn't save her dead father.

I asked, "Are there many people like her?" ”

Helsing replied, "At least she can save her life." ”

Life is not the most important thing, in the age of sorrow, death is all too common, and there are many fates worse than death. Great grief, dangerous disease, terrible mutations, hunger and the instinct to live.... and the vicious human heart.

There are so many things that make life worse than death.

Helsing said: "My mind blade is the blade of salvation, but there are times when I choose to die rather than save it. The blade didn't weaken, but it scarred me. Occasionally, I would feel the huge hollow and I would feel so weak that I couldn't even lift my hands. ”

And what about the faith of the saints?

He became a saint from a sinner, but he did not choose to save the world, he walked between the blood and the humans, he was an observer.

Beyond Earth, the universe floats with lonely observers.

Someone pushed open the door of the room and shouted, "What are the saints?" ”

I made up a name: "Saint Peter." ”

"Saint Peter, it's your turn."

The hallway was a little damp, it was blood, and there was a moment of silence at the earth-shattering shouts, that was the rules of the game, the prerogative of the IBA masters.

I walked into the dazzling arena, Sasha ran quickly and brought me a cup of hot tea, I stared at the teaglass, Sasha said dissatisfiedly: "Don't worry, there is no poison, even if I am a hundred times bold, I don't dare." I'm your support girl, and this is what it looks like. ”

She hugged my arm and crossed her leg back in a lovely pose. Her clean armpits were pressed against my face, and I sniffed it, something weird.

She scratched her head and stole the limelight from me, as if she wanted to sell her for a good price tonight.

The long-haired host shouted, "Tonight, at this moment, I introduce you to the mysterious Saint Peter!"

He was the first to appear again,

He, like many, is reluctant to go public.

He may well be some sleeping magician of the last century,

It may also be a reckless man with a demon sealed in his body,

Or maybe it's that rare, hateful living corpse,

Or maybe he's a Bloodline who haunts the night.

What does he want? Ten tons of meat, ten tons of vegetables? What a big appetite!

No, that's not what he wants, that's just his excuse.

Tonight, all he wants is to tear his opponents apart, tear them into powder, and treat their organs as delicious meat!

Let's welcome – Saint Peter! ”

His voice became louder than ever, and the audience was authorized by him to shout loudly.

Sasha said: "Come on, if you win, my exposure will increase, more people will choose me, let me bring luck to them." ”

My opponent is Bracken, the lioness of the desert.

With a wave of his finger, a light struck Bracken, who said, "Praise to our frequent visitors here, defenders of the lions, Lioness Bracken!"

She, who claims to be the mage of the Era Empire, has no worries about food and clothing, and she lives a rich life,

What called her to this dangerous place and face a dangerous adversary?

Is it for more wealth?

No, it's because she's strong,

It's because she's more confident than everyone else!

She wants to eat the flesh and bones of her enemies!

Welcome our lioness Bracken to devour your opponents! ”

Sasha added, "I forgot to tell you that Brecken is on a 10-game winning streak, and besides, she likes to kill her opponents after winning. ”

I frowned and asked, "Don't you want me to win?" ”

Sasha made a yawning gesture and said, "You're so boring, you know?" Others would pay me some money before they died, sleep with me and die. I know you can't win. ”

"Bored? People around me say I'm a joker. ”

Sasha said "haha" twice dryly, and said, "Go up, die early and be reborn." ”

Helsing didn't say a word, and I walked into the big field. Bracken grimaced at me, his hair disheveled, his arms outstretched.

The host said, "So, let's go!" The arena instantly became silent, and no one made a sound.

Bracken held out a hand and made a "come on" motion.

She didn't finish a single movement, turned her head away from me, continued to shake her fingers, and shouted, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." ”

The audience all opened their eyes and watched excitedly.

I unleashed the Blade and unleashed a torrent that struck her nose, shattering her with a shield that resembled a blade, and her head was tilted back, blood flowing.

She screamed "ahh

I'm not good at boxing, and my movements aren't very pretty, but Lamia taught me some tricks that as long as I'm fast enough and strong enough, there's not much room for skill.

My fist struck her in the abdomen, and her shield took effect again, but only slowly, and she vomited blood from her mouth, and said angrily, "Nian Blade? ”

She spewed out that poisonous black gas in her palm, but she was too slow, and I kicked her in the back behind her, and she fell forward, rolled fifty meters and then stopped and got up.

Riptide is already an advanced skill of the Mind Blade, and with Riptide, I can even kill the Red Demon with my bare hands. The lioness Bryken's shield may be hard, but it can't handle my speed and strength.

She ran into the distance, and suddenly someone in the stands said, "Don't play tricks, disgrace our face!" ”

She stopped running, turned to face me, her expression was extremely angry, and she shouted, "Isn't it the Nian Blade?" I won't underestimate the enemy anymore! ”

She chanted a mantra, and black smoke rose from her body, covering her, and it was said to be highly poisonous, somewhat similar to the dark clouds of the Nian Blade. She burst out laughing, "So what? ”

I didn't chase her because the pain of the torrent was unbearable, and she used the brief moment to protect herself, and with two "whoosh" sounds, two black balls flew towards me at the speed of a bow and arrow. After I dodged, the black ball created a mist on the ground.

I shouted, "That's how you're on a winning streak?" It's so disappointing. ”

Bracken replied, "Your good fortune ends here!" "She threw six black balls in an instant, and I ran diagonally, avoiding them all, the first of the fidars split the black air, and the second of the godkillers struck her like a herd of cattle running wildly. Blood spurted from her mouth and she fell to the ground.

The host shouted, "Incredible! Saint Peter wins! Saint Peter defeats the Lioness Bracken! I heard the audience chanting, "The Saints have won!" Saint Peter! Saint Peter! "It's a heart-wrenching voice.

I asked, "How many more wins?" ”

The host said, "You don't do a bad job, you only need to win four more games to reap your reward!" ”

"Then arrange it as soon as possible, I don't want to wait any longer."

The host smiled and nodded, shouting, "What a bloodthirsty warrior! People love to watch this! "As I stepped off the field, Sasha ran up to me and put her arms around me, laughed at the flickering camera, made a V-sign gesture, and kissed my mask hard.

She has bad breath, which is really golden and ruined.

Sasha said, "It's the good luck I brought you, I'm very smart, you have to thank me." ”

I glared at her: "Didn't you wish me an early death and an early transcendence?" ”

Sasha said "Huh", her expression was flustered, and she hurriedly said: "You heard it wrong, really, I wish you.... Win early! She immediately put on a smiling face and threw me into the break room.

She lifted one leg, exposed part of her body, and grinned, "Victory, don't you have a passionate?" I can give you a discount. ”

First, I don't feel sorry for Lamia, and secondly, I think of her bad breath and her poor hygiene: "No need. ”

Sasha sighed, "What a disappointment, it's boring to even make your wishes." ”

I asked, "How long will I have to wait for the next game?" ”

Sasha said, "It depends on the mood of the masters, the lioness you kill is terrible, she can't stop winning until she is promoted to the first rank, and she is very popular with some big people." And I heard that she has some powerful relatives behind her. ”

I frowned and said, "Can those relatives still designate me to challenge me?" ”

"Probably yes! The owners also like to watch this kind of drama of grievances and hatreds, alas, but it is a pity that the lioness does not seem to be dead. ”

The lioness is a noble figure of the Era Empire, and there are many powerful enemies in this chaotic and huge overlord? It may be the blood clan, it may be the mage, it may also be the demon envoy, they are all headaches, with only bare hands, the power of the mind blade will be weakened, and there will be a bitter battle next.

Helsing appeared and said, "If you use the torrent continuously and hit the same part, the lioness won't last that long." ”

I've been thinking about the battle and I'm struck by the fact that it was.

Helsin said: "After mastering the blade, you need to use it properly, and the real master realm is to do what you want." Sometimes, you don't need to blindly pursue great power, and clever attacks can have unexpected effects. ”

I realized that all along, the blades I wielded, and even the way I fought, lacked consistency and incoherence, and for the most part it was a move that was a dismantling move, rather than a mercury-like offensive that routed the enemy. I'm supposed to be in charge, not trying to win with tricks.

As I reminisced about the old battles, Sasha blinked and said, "I can go and inquire about the enemy, but I have to collect some benefits." ”

I asked, "Can you inquire?" Is it accurate? ”

Sasha smiled: "I have to squeeze some oil and water from you, otherwise if you lose a game, and no one takes me because I am lucky, won't I be busy in vain?" ”

I stared at the girl who was camping everywhere, and suddenly felt a little sad for her, everyone has their own way of living, and for everyone, there is no right or wrong, only the belief to live.

"There you go."

Sasha stretched out her hand and said, "One hundred gold dollars, thank you." ”

I simply paid the bill, and Sasha giggled and left cheerfully.

Helsing sighed and said, "It's hard. ”

I nodded, "yes, it's hard." ”
