05 - minions
Leopard Rees held the illustrated book in his left hand, and touched the dragon horns on Edo's head from time to time with the other, and then touched the big wings behind him, and muttered something in his mouth. This mysterious gesture early in the morning surprised Edo, who was sitting on the bed, and he could only sit motionless, watching the cheetah look up and down his body.
"Identification successful!" Leopard Rees suddenly screamed, which really startled Edor and he immediately retracted into the quilt and looked at Leopard Rees with dangerous eyes.
"You, you...... What are you doing? Edo asked, "You have done such a strange thing early in the morning, are you going to learn from those wizards to cast a spell on me and sacrifice me to the Lord?" β
"What? You're thinking too much. Leopard Rees said with a look of disgust, "I just want to know which type of dragon you are." β
"Did you find out anything?"
"Wellβif all the conditions are met, then the germ you belong to is the Denua Highland Dragon!"
"Cut, I've already revealed my identity, you're just doing this to start a fire in the light market." Edo said disdainfully. But Leopard Rees became proud, he looked at the book again, and suddenly found a line of small red letters that were barely noticed, on which the word "danger" caught his attention, and he focused his gaze on it, and read the sentence in a whisper:
Dangerous, the Denua Highland Dragon is gentle on the surface, but extremely fierce on the inside, and it is absolutely impossible to deliberately provoke this kind of dragon
This sentence was like a thunderclap, and it hit Leopard Lis's ears hard, and he quietly raised his eyes from the book, and glanced at Edor who was doing nothing in bed, and couldn't believe that he was the dragon that the book said was "fierce inside". Cold sweat seeped out of his pores unconsciously. Thankfully, Edo didn't notice anything unusualβat least not yet.
"By the way, I haven't had time to thank you...... Thank you for saving me that night! Edo smiled and said, "I've been running around for the past few days, and I haven't had time to say it, and it's too late to say it, you won't dislike it, right?" β
Leopard Rees came back to his senses, and he said hesitantly, "No...... It's okay, we're all family, we should ...... Help each other. β
"Leopard Rees, you don't look right, what's going on?" "If you think it's too flattering or something, just say it!" We are a family, not officials. β
"I didn't ...... No, what else do I have? β
"Ah, why are you sweating so much?" Edo was about to reach out to wipe it, but Leopardris took a few steps back. "Don't come here yet!" Cheetah shouted.
"What the hell is going on?" Edo asked, "Why are you so mysterious this morning?" β
"There's really nothing." Leopard Risqiang smiled and walked over to the bookcase.
"Really?" Edo looked at the illustrated book in Leopard's hand, and then thought back to what he had just done, and knew the reason for Leopard's unusual reaction, so he quietly stepped out of bed while Leopard Ris's put the book in the bookcase.
"Hey, Leopard Reese." Edo tapped Leopard Reese's back with his hand, and Leopard Reese trembled for a moment. When he saw Edor out of the corner of his eye, Edor "wow", stretched out his claws, and made a gesture to pounce.
"Ahh Leopard Ris screamed and collapsed to the ground, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead like soybeans, and he cried out, "Edo, what are you going to do?!" β
"Look, you're a thief, aren't you?" Edo smiled and said, "Do you think I don't know why you're like this?" β
"What do you mean?" Leopard Rees got up from the ground, a short distance from Eddor.
"Our Denua Highland Dragon Clan is already very fierce, where is there a dragon that is not fierce? Just like your cheetah, where is there a cheetah that doesn't show its teeth and claws? "It's true that we're a little fiercer than the other dragons, but I'll give you an analogy, isn't the one who killed Kivu even more fierce?" So will he go around killing people? You don't think of dragons as brainless, do you? β
Leopard Rees let out a long sigh and said, "Looks like you understand. β
"Do you understand anything, I can't be a Denua Highland Dragon anymore?"
"So you're not going to do that kind of thing...... Like eating me in the middle of the night or something? β
Edo slapped his hands on his face and said angrily, "Can't you give me peace of mind?" After a while, he suddenly realized that it could also be used as a pleasure, so he snickered, went up to Leopardris, and put his mouth in his ear, saying:
"Maybe."
Before Leopard Rees could react, he pounced again, opened his mouth and bit Leopard Reese's arm.
"Edo!" Without saying a word, Leopard Rees kicked directly at Edo, who let go of his mouth and took a few steps back, and the roots of his wings hit the corner of the desk directly, and a piercing pain immediately hit. This time it was his turn to fall to the ground.
"Leopard Rees...... Wings ......"
......
"You really deserve it!" Leopard Rees said as he helped Edo with the medicine.
"It hurts! ...... It seems that I can't fly for the next few days. "Hmph, it's all your fault!" Who told you to be so excited? β
"Huh? It's clear that you deliberately scared me, okay! β
"What, your psychological quality is not good, and you put the blame on me?"
"You talk about it again?!" Leopard Reese poked Edor with his finger at the base of his wings.
"Whew, it hurts!" Edo said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, okay?" β
"It's almost ......," Leopard's phone rang.
"It's Greenwich again." Leopard Rees picked up his phone and turned on the speakerphone.
"Leopard Reese, are you free over there right now?" Greenwich asked.
"What's going on?"
"Come here!"
"Where to go, or 'Earth Star'?"
"No, it's the Levente range." Greenwich's answer made the cheetah chuckle in his heart.
"What's going on there?"
"Something's wrong...... Okay, I still have something to do, hang up first. β
"Greenwich, Green......" Leopard Rees, realizing that he was talking to the air, put down his phone and took a few deep breaths before adjusting his emotions.
"Edo, grab your gun." He put gauze on the roots of Edo's wings and said, "We're going back to the Levant Range today." β
"Could it be...... It's not going to happen, is it? Edo asked.
"It's hard to tell, we didn't know until we went...... Let's go! β
There was a drizzle in the sky, and there was no need to bring an umbrella β they didn't care about it. As soon as they got out of the car, the two of them went straight to the Livant range. This time, the range was no longer as deserted as before, but instead it was crowded with police officers and forensic doctors, who saw that the police officers entering and leaving the range were wearing gas masks.
"You're finally here." Greenwich walked up to them and said.
"What's going on here?" Edo asked.
"I have two pieces of bad news for you." Greenwich said, "Are you mentally ready? β
"Let's talk about it first." Leopard Reese said.
"Lin Yihui was murdered, and the murderer used sarin poison gas to get it into the air circulation system of the shooting range, and the amount of poison gas was very large, until now you can see, those policemen have to wear masks to go in."
"It seems that it really happened." Leopard Rees prayed to himself that it was a good thing his call didn't go out that day.
"It seems that my confrontation with the murderer is the cause of this incident."
"Why?" Greenwich said puzzled.
"The killer stole Kivu's gun and we found him again, so now that he's exposed, he wants to kill anyone who might pose a threat to him, including Lin Yihui."
"Greenwich, come over here, I've got something for you." A police officer stopped him, and Greenwich nodded and walked over - the officer was probably Zhou Yan's lover. After five minutes, Greenwich returned to them and said to them, "They just found a secret compartment in the arsenal at the range, do you know what is in it?" β
"Dark?" Edo remembered what Lin Yihui had prevented him from setting up the cabinet, "What is it?" β
"Bullets. Silver bullets, to be exact. β
"Silver bullets?" The two of them shouted together.
"In this way, from Kivu to Lin Yihui, all the relationships are strung together." Greenwich said.
"The murderer is a regular here...... I should have asked Lin Yihui this question before. Leopard Rees said.
"There's a second piece of bad news." Greenwich said, "We investigated Lim's identity and found that he was a working right-wing member and that he had a lot to do with Project Axestone. β
"He's right-wing!" "So, is he one of the participants in Project Axestone?" β
"So to speak."
"But he's not like that at all." Edo said.
"I also think that if he was a right-winger, he should have killed us that day, but why did he entertain us so warmly and give us clues?" Leopard Rees said.
"Maybe it's all part of his plan." Greenwich's face tensed, "We thought that the people who killed Kivu were the right wingers, and they tried to launch a carefree dragon extermination plan by forging such a guise, but today's death of Lin Yihui completely overturned all this." If the killer of Kivu and Lin Yihui is the same person, then what is its purpose? β
"Maybe he wants to destroy the peace of the orc world." "The murderer learned about the right wing's rejection of the dragon, so he wanted to provoke a war between the two sides in this way, and Lake was a young leader, and he was inexperienced in command, and he was prone to recklessness, and the murderer took advantage of this to ensure that the war broke out 100 percent." β
"It seems that the direction is clear now." Greenwich said.
"Then let's tell Lake!" Edo said.
Greenwich said to him, "You have now walked into the headquarters building of the right wing, and you have only been caught by the guards and thrown into prison, and you are shouting inside, who can hear you?" β
Suddenly, gunshots rang out from the side of the street, and several small canisters flew over, and they rolled on the ground a few times, and then with a "bang", a large cloud of smoke was spewed, and in a short time, the whole street was filled with white smoke.
"It's a smoke bomb!" When the three of them heard the sound, they dispersed and found the closest place to them as cover. As soon as they loaded their bullets, there was already a steady stream of gunfire outside.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive!" Greenwich ducked behind a car, and the two men followed. Now in the smoke it is not possible to determine the situation of the engagement, and for them, who are "poorly equipped", passive fire is the best option at the moment. At this time, Greenwich saw in the smoke that two people with guns on their backs were carrying something not far away, but they were not policemen, and what they were carrying was the body of Lin Yihui in the shooting range.
"Don't you think!" Greenwich poked his head out of the car and shot the two men.
"Hey, this car we're hiding from isn't going to drive away, is it?" Leopard Rees asked with the sound of the engine getting louder. Suddenly, a shell flew over and hit a cargo tricycle across the street, which exploded into the air and slammed into the ground, completely dismembering its body.
"Oh no, it's a tank again!" After the smoke cleared, Leopard Ris poked his head out to see that there was indeed a "Knight" tank firing nearby, and when he looked at the tank again, he saw that it was rapidly charging towards them.
"Hey, the tank is coming!" He shouted.
"What?!" Greenwich asked, pulling out the smoking magazine.
Leopard Ris stuck his head out again, only to find that the barrel of the tank was already aimed at him.
"Oh no, let's get down!" Greenwich also saw tanks. At the last moment, a shell came from the other side and hit the turret of the Knight tank, blowing it to pieces. Greenwich breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the tank had been destroyed, and led the two men closer to the shooting range. After a while, a "Phoimis I" tank came in the distance, and he was accompanied by a large group of armed men. A red flag with a white hollow pattern painted on the top of the tank's turret was also planted.
"It's the opposition!" Greenwich was surprised and said, "They're here too." β
"Against what?" Leopard Rees asked.
"Opposition." Greenwich said, "An organization that was opposed to the right after Project Axe Stone began, you can understand them as a second rebel army. β
The battle is over. Leopard Rees stepped on the debris of the building and walked into the shooting range, and despite the smoke of gunpowder, the pungent smell of poison gas did not dissipate.
"This is the first time we've been involved in a real firefight." "It's horrible," Edo said. β
Leopard Rees looked at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but think of what Teacher Zhou Yan remembered that day.
"There are hundreds of battles like this every day in the orc world, and this is just the tip of the iceberg." Greenwich came up and said.
"Hey, you're that Greenwich, aren't you?" A sika deer stepped forward and asked. He wore an armband on his arm that was identical to the tank's flag, and he looked like he was the leader of the opposition.
"I'm Greenwich." He asked, "How do you know my name?" β
"You're a former right-winger, why don't I know you?"
"I really didn't expect you opposition to get involved in this fight."
"We're no longer in the opposition." "We've already changed our name to the 'Armed Intervention Team for Assaults,' or RABT for short, and it doesn't matter if you're called 'Relbert,' it's much better than the bells and whistles of the 'Axe Stone Project.'" β
Greenwich didn't speak, and the sika deer looked at the two teenagers.
"Yo, it's two young men who are so well equipped." He joked. This made the two of them feel a little embarrassed, and then the sika deer began to introduce himself: "My name is Wu Qiming." β
"I'm Nicolas Leopardis."
"My name is Balk Zaka Edo."
"Your name is Wu Qiming?" Leopard Rees asked in Chinese.
β...... Do you also speak Chinese? Wu Qiming didn't come back to his senses for a while, and he felt a little surprised.
"It seems that we are also born in the eastern block." After Wu Qiming finished speaking, his face sank again.
"The right wing is about to invade here." He said, "Leopard Rees, you should leave here with your dragon brother sooner...... You are still children, don't get caught up in these things. β
"I understand." Leopard Rees said.
Wu Qiming lit a cigarette, but it took a long time to take a puff.
"The storm is not far off......," he muttered to himself.
That night, Lake was pacing alone at the table. Now, his mind went blank - since the start of the "Axe Stone Project", this kind of distraction had happened many times. It was a full moon, and he felt like he was yelling at the sky, but he patted his forehead to dispel the idea. At this time, he suddenly noticed that there were two more hands on the window.
"Who's there?!" Lake took a few steps back. At this moment, the window was smashed hard by the fist, and a dragon got into the house, and Lake couldn't dodge and was thrown to the ground by the dragon.
"You...... You're ......," Lake cried, "You're Balk Zaka Edo!" β
Edo didn't speak, desperately reaching out to grab Lake's neck. The movement also attracted people outside the office, who rushed in. Seeing this, Edo immediately let go of his hand and quickly climbed out of the window. Those right flankers shot and shot, but to no avail.
"Chief, are you alright?" They helped Lake up. Lake hadn't recovered from the shock he had just had, but he suddenly realized that his mind was finally no longer blank.
