Chapter 10: The Lords of the East I
The dark clouds hung even lower, so oppressive that it felt as if the sky was collapsing step by step, and the glimmer of light surrounding the sky made it dark not as completely as midnight, but with an eerie drowsiness.
The lightning was still thundering from time to time, and the stinging light of that moment made the faces of the monsters even more hideous.
In this circle of monsters centered on Luo Ling, all the beings were surprisingly quiet, only the bloodthirsty eyes that flashed with essence told endless madness.
Creak...... In the subtle electromechanical sound, the 'Liuyan' is fully loosened and opened, and the armor with the assistance of the photobrain system does not need the help of the 'armor device', and it can be disassembled by itself with a command input, which has initially possessed the function of quickly installing and fading the mecha suit in those sci-fi films in the past.
Along with the inner layer of combat uniform, Luo Ling stood in the extreme cold with only a small trouser in his hand, letting the falling ice particles hit his body like broken pearls.
"What, are you going to show your true face?" Lao Hu woke up from his distant gaze, and his gaze fell back to Luo Ling.
Luo Ling answered his question with actions. The obsidian-like demonic body, on the chest, arms, and legs, there are magic patterns that represent the flow of golden light, and in the middle of the forehead, a huge fusiform magic crystal like an eye in the sky emerges and stands out, bright purple color, clear and crystalline, as bright as a star, as deep and mysterious as a dome.
The green magic light burned around Luo Ling like flames, and the invisible coercion was like the dust raised by a meteorite falling to the ground. Within the affected range, every falling ice particle was burning, and for a while, a green rain of fire fell, reflecting an area.
Roar...... The monsters retreated in a panicked whisper, the Starskin Demon lying down and his jaw touching the ground, and the Rock Demon bent down and fell to one knee.
"Refining ...... Purgatory...... Demon...... Will......! "The nameless demon standing on the rock spear, the jaw that is about to rise to the sky can no longer be held high, in the face of the coercion of purgatory, ordinary monsters will produce irrepressible horror and fear, and instinctively express their awe with a gesture of surrender.
If there are some beings in the demon population who are born nobles, then it is none other than the Purgatory Demons. Compared to ordinary demons, the Infernal Demon Generals are like dragons among beasts, they are demons among demons, royal families with the purest bloodline, and true rulers. They are born with the strength and natural abilities to make ordinary demons jealous to the point of madness. Almost all of the Infernal Demon Generals have at least surpassed the Demon Lord level after surviving the most difficult initial 500 years of growth.
"Well, ......" Lao Hu, who was standing opposite Luo Ling, roared in pain, trembling all over, struggling, clenching his fists, gritting his teeth, and unaware of the tears flowing down. Fighting against the coercion from Luo Ling is as difficult as fighting against the burden of the entire Mount Tai.
"As it turns out, your Excellency Ambis didn't give you a chance, and what you sold your soul in exchange for was nothing more than a second-class magic fusion potion. Now the potions are not fully fused, and there are options. Luo Ling looked at Lao Hu quietly with his purple eyes, and his faint voice seemed to be his mood at the moment.
Whew! Whew! Lao Hu gasped, but he didn't give in after all, he stared at Luo Ling with eyes full of hatred. "Trample others under your feet and then give mercy to them. Your care is truly special. ”
Luo Ling stared at Lao Hu silently for a moment, "Gu Nan is really dead, and now the only one who is alive is Lao Hu, who is only hateful." You go, this time, I will spare you not to die, only 1 time. ”
"The tone is arrogant, what about the Purgatory Demon General? Do you think there's still a chance to get out of here? The voice floated from the air, and with a burst of light and shadow distorted, three high-level demons very similar to Luo Ling appeared, and slowly fell. The first to speak was a female demon, also with obsidian-like skin, except that the magic patterns on her body flowed with silver light, and her head had curly horns, not magic crystals.
Luo Ling didn't look at the three demons, he smiled coldly, and a violent explosion suddenly occurred in a huge area within a radius of three hundred meters with him as the center. This explosion is a joint effect produced by the simultaneous detonation of more than 3,000 spore bombs the size of ice beans, the blazing white flame melts the core explosion area into a sea of high temperature and flames, although the bomb is small, but the huge base provides conditions for the spore bomb to launch special effects, although the space collapse has not been formed, the regional element disorder has reached the A-level criticality, resulting in a terrible spatial tremor phenomenon, the effect is like a billion sharp little scissors randomly moving in the core area of the explosion.
It was in such a high-temperature explosion and spatial tearing that Luo Ling launched an attack. With Cang Yan as the front, he cast the blood shadow twice in a row. There is no doubt that this is a long-planned and all-out killing move, the 20 times the limit speed of the blood shadow coupled with the power of Cang Yan, even with the power of the demon general, it can't be dodged or prevented.
The three-headed demon will die on his own negligence, and they have been hiding in the shadows, thinking that they are in control. In fact, when Lu Fei's six people were all captured due to Lao Hu's betrayal, Luo Ling had already begun to plan how to wipe out all the monsters present. For this reason, he is fully capable of it, and in this case, the demon general has nowhere to hide. Moreover, Luo Ling waited for the most suitable time as he wished, and when the demon generals thought that their appearance had brought pressure and shock to Luo Ling, in the bomb trap that Luo Ling had spent time, exhausted, and painstakingly laid out, their only chance to struggle had been wiped out.
A few broken rock spears continued to slide down like weeping butter wax in the raging demon flames, and Luo Ling kicked over, and Lao Hu flew straight out more than two hundred meters away like a projectile. This kick will kill him, but if it takes less than thirty seconds in such a demonic flame, Lao Hu will definitely die.
Click! Luo Ling crushed the head of a demon with one foot, and used the pale flame in his palm to purify the twisted soul between humans and demons.
Click! Another demon died at Luo Ling's feet, in the raging flames, Luo Ling was like a demon king descending, deducing ruthless destruction and killing, that unhurried calmness, at this moment it was even more ruthless.
1 minute later, only the flames that were still burning in the howling cold wind were left at the scene, and the golden flames formed a pillar of flame tens of meters high, illuminating an area of several kilometers in a radius.
The old beard curled up there, like a boiled lobster, his armor was almost turned into iron juice, and the person was really charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and on the surface, the appearance was even more miserable than that of a major burn patient. The steaming heat wave made the smoothies within a radius turn into raindrops again, and every drop that fell on Lao Hu's body made him extremely painful as if he was poked with a steel needle, but the fusion potion in his body continued to provide him with life, and it was even more difficult to cure difficulties, but it was even more difficult to die, and he could only suffer in pain.
"Woo woo woo ......" Lao Hu's consciousness gradually sobered up, and his faint whimpering sound was miserable and even more crazy. And with a single eye that did not explode, he looked in the direction of the fire.
Luo Ling, who was burning with green light all over his body, calmly looked at Lao Hu's eyes full of pain and hatred for a while, "Our reason for survival seems to be revenge, but the biggest difference between me and you is that in my life, there is not only hatred, but also some warm things, residing in my heart, like the last few bits of light in the darkness." In this light, there are the shadows of you, Xiaoyue, and uncles and aunts, and this light is eternal. Even if I kill you in the future, it's only because you've become an obstacle to my goal, and there's no other reason for that. ”
"I'm going to kill you...... I'll kill you...... I want revenge...... One day I will kill you with my own hands......" In the rain, Lao Hu shouted heartbreakingly. The burnt muscles of his face were torn apart from speaking, the red flesh rolled up, and blood oozed out, but the pain was not obvious, and he had already regarded Luo Ling's words as the ultimate humiliation.
"If that's your only wish, find a way to get stronger, before you meet me again." Luo Ling said, heading north without looking back, leaving Lao Hu in the muddy and scorched earth ravaged by the heat wave and heavy rain, and the sound of a miserable howl echoed in the empty wasteland.
Luo Ling regained his human appearance, put on only a smock, and walked north. In fact, in his current state, there is not much point in transforming. The essence of the energy body is a mass of energy crystallized by the entity, and the image description is the energy with an ice shell and a water core. Therefore, it is more appropriate to refer to the instrumental term of his human appearance or demonic appearance.
Luo Ling's transformational transformation was just a need for disguise. He didn't want anyone to know that he was out of the realm of a normal Infernal General. In addition, he detonates the spore bomb and activates the Blood Shadow, which also has the intention of using the flames of the explosion to cover up his movements. After all, Sharu and Gardi were really impressed by the Fierce Skeleton's signature skill, because this skill made them associate him with the Fierce Skeleton, which was a bad thing for him.
"Hey! Hello, I don't know if you can take some time to talk to me alone. "Behind a private house, a famous young woman, tall figure, wearing a black background and white vertical striped office clothes, a pure white large-necked silk shirt, brown-red hair coiled behind the head, combed oily and smooth, white and shiny skin, the face plate is goose egg shaped, but a little thin, between the eyebrows and eyes have the characteristics of Europeans and Americans, looking like a mixed race. The most special thing is her big eyes behind her rimless glasses, and her pupils are blue-purple, which makes her look indescribably bewitching.
Luo Ling had already noticed her presence, and she appeared before Luo Ling attacked, spying in the shadows in a stealthy way.
"I'm sorry, beauty, I'm busy." Luo Ling continued to move in the established direction. There seems to be no interest in this woman appearing here and now. In fact, it's just a simple trick to get away with it. For an existence that has been watching, Luo Ling will not let it go easily, otherwise, he will not go all the way, secretly paying attention to the other party's every move.
Smiled lightly, "yes, it's okay, let's talk about it as we go." The young woman said as she walked towards Luo Ling.
Luo Ling had to admit that he didn't hate this woman's appearance, and the way she walked was also very beautiful. It's just that the crisp sound of the high heels stepping on the floor on the snow can remind him of the strength of the other party. In such a situation, it is difficult for Luo Ling to concentrate his attention on the normal state of appreciating women.
"Okay, but keep your distance. I'm sensitive to white-collar workers. Luo Ling said as he walked, his bare feet stepping on the snow, leaving no footprints.
The young woman replied to Luo Ling: "Actually, that's exactly what I thought in my heart. Your personality is too edgy, it always reminds me of a patient who is about to have surgery, and more importantly, you are constantly walking away. ”
The style of the gown is like a poncho, divided into front and back pieces, left and right open to the armpits, only a few strings pass through the air eye and make an X to connect the front and back pieces together, from the side, Luo Ling, who is naked inside, is indeed walking away, and this style of clothing does have a little bit of surgical gown.
"It's cooler." Luo Ling said: "What's more, even if I run naked on the street, I can't cause any social problems." ”
"But you're like this, how do you want me to introduce you to a new colleague?"
"Did I promise you to join the gang?"
"I don't think that's a problem. Serena Williams. ”
Luo Ling turned his head and glanced at the young woman. Serena Williams is his nickname, and almost no one knows about it except for his family and a few very close friends.
"I don't need anyone to help me remember the past, and we're nowhere near close to the level where you call me by that name, so for your safety, don't play with the information you've gotten."
"Hehe" the young woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "We are not as distant as you say, take a closer look at me, think of a senior sister you dated in your sophomore year of college." As she spoke, she took off her glasses.
Stopping, Luo Ling stared at the other party carefully for a while, "Jin Yun? ”
The young woman nodded.
Luo Ling felt a little mixed, and for a while, Jin Yun was the object of his longing and pursuit. See you again today, whether it is temperament or appearance, Jin Yun has changed and cannot coincide with her in memory. In particular, the appearance has changed so much that it can almost be said to be completely unfamiliar.
Luo Ling said with a little emotion: "I don't know what to say anymore. ”
"Say you remember owing me a big meal at the Izumo Seafood Restaurant."
"I was squeezed by a few classmates and invited everyone to eat at the Izumo Seafood Restaurant, but those guys could order expensive dishes vigorously, and finally settle the bill, the money was not enough, you helped me pay in advance. I was embarrassed ...... that time," Luo Ling said, showing a smile of remembrance, "At that time, I was impulsive, sensitive, and stunned,...... Youth, hehe. Luo Ling's laughter faded, and even his eyes returned to their usual indifference, "That meal is indeed of extraordinary value." ”
Jin Yun shook his head, "There are some things that are not suitable for being bargaining chips. ”
Luo Ling stared at Jin Yun's eyes very seriously, and after a while, he said slowly, "Thank you." ”
Jin Yun smiled: "I'm very happy that you can cherish that memory so much." Still like tea? ”
"Hmm."
"Have a cup of tea together?"
Luo Ling thought for a moment, "Okay." ”
Through a portable spatial teleportation array, Jin Yun and Luo Ling appeared in a floating boat nearly a hundred kilometers away from the old city of Guang'an.
The floating boat looks like a small barge, 62 meters long and 18 meters wide, with a slender hull, a flush bow and a bridge at the stern. Jin Yun introduced to Luo Ling that this kind of ship can refract light to achieve a stealth effect, and its defense capability is also extremely strong, but it needs to be towed by a mobile ship in order to move forward quickly.
The lack of power equipment and the use of magical technology allowed more usable space inside the floating ship, where two standard seven-man combat teams with four crew members and a commander lived, and Jin Yun told Luo Ling that she was the commander of the Izumo.
"It's also called Izumo?" Luo Ling asked.
"Yes, I owe you the meal, but I've always been obsessed." Jin Yun said half-truthfully.
At this time, Luo Ling had already changed into a denim suit that he usually wore and sat with Jin Yun at a table by the window in the lounge of the floating boat. This lounge is also an eco-cabin, with a lot of greenery, and the fresh vegetables that the crew eats depend on here.
Jin Yun held his cheek in one hand and looked at the man opposite her with some distraction. There are already too many traces of wind and frost on Luo Ling's eyebrows and sideburns, and his eyes have long lost their familiarity in the past, only in the deepest part, you can still feel some shadows of openness and sincerity.
The sun shines into the lounge through the large window in the spring and March afternoon, and the warm color adds a layer of moving brilliance to the pretty Jin Yun's face, and her eyes with a thin layer of water vapor fade away from the strange blue and purple color. That look has completely coincided with Luo Ling's memory, it is this warm and moving look that made him deeply fascinated and made him want to protect it for the rest of his life.
"If that hadn't happened, we would have been lovers now......" Jin Yun said softly.
Luo Ling's gaze fell from Jin Yun's face to the table, in the white porcelain tea cup, the heat curled up, melting the fragrant taste of tea into the air, and the song from the stereo was Na Ying and Sun Nan.
'There is no bad youth, there is no lost love, all promises are eternal like stars. This lyric seems to be the greatest irony designed for this situation.
"How are you doing?" After a long time, Luo Ling slowly raised his head and met Jin Yun's eyes again, his voice was a little muffled.
Jin Yun smiled brightly, and there were tears in his laughter. "The Luo Ling I know is back."
Luo Ling's eyes rarely appeared some watery light, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only tranquility left. "Jin Yun, that Luo Ling has passed away with the past years."
Jin Yun lowered his head slightly, and two crystal tears fell on the lens, then slipped down and shattered on the table.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Jin Yun took out a white silk handkerchief, turned his head sideways to wipe it, and said with a sob.
Jin Yun's words were like a thorn harder than a diamond, piercing the softest place in Luo Ling's heart. He took a deep breath, his gaze avoided Jin Yun, and cast his gaze on the vast sea of gray and yellow dust and clouds outside the window.
Just as Jin Yun said, if it weren't for that biochemical experiment, with the legendary plot of chasing women favored by beautiful women at that time, the two people who dated were indeed very likely to become each other's lovers. Although there were many emotional entanglements with Luo Ling later, his brief relationship with Jin Yun always occupied a place in his memory and became a regret that rose to an aesthetic height.
"We've been looking for your whereabouts since two years ago." Luo Ling's coldness made Jin Yun recover from her sadness quickly, she didn't come to beg for anything, and she didn't need charity. Besides, Luo Ling's temperament is like this now, Jin Yun is not particularly surprised, after all, she has mastered some of Luo Ling's past in recent years.
"Oh." Luo Ling replied lightly and asked, "Which force do you represent?" ”
"Country."
Luo Ling was slightly stunned and said, "Unexpected." According to the information in my possession, the power of the original state was ultimately in the hands of a few individuals and some small groups. ”
"Your source is a company, right? They distort the facts on key issues. ”
"What kind of facts?"
"The country has done its best to preserve its vitality and still has a population of more than 150 million. And, having already passed the most difficult times. The regime did not fall, and elites from all walks of life were preserved. ”
"Really? I didn't even know it. ”
"You haven't walked out of Guang'an since you woke up."
"Well, even if you're right. I'll admit that you did put a lot of effort into investigating me. What do you want me to do? You should know that I can't be a statist. ”
"Nor do we intend to bind you with righteousness. I am looking for you because we have a common enemy. ”
"Demons?"
"No, CubeSat."
"......," Luo Ling raised his eyebrows. Where does this begin? ”
"Among the stolen materials brought back by our agents who infiltrated the cube corporation contain a complete record of their hunt for you after you became a test subject." Jin Yun said, put the 12-inch laptop next to her on the table, started it, and called up the information, and then pushed it in front of Luo Ling.
Luo Ling flipped through a few pages. He looked up and said, "Is this information that makes you interested in me?" ”
Jin Yun nodded, "There is no doubt that you are a legend. ”
Luo Ling chuckled a few times, "What do you need me to do?" When to be a coach of survival subjects? ”
"I hope you can be a superhero."
"To fight against the high-ranking demon of the cube company?"
"Yes."
"And what do you personally mean?" Luo Ling asked.
"I hope to come back into your life."
Luo Ling smiled lightly, "Come into my life, hehe." Are you going to use your plane ship as a dowry? Your Excellency Ambis? ”
