Chapter 92: Duel!!
"That's it, the new Santa Fe... Is it? ”
Standing on a deserted street, Canquillo's tone took on a distinctly questioning tone. As New Seattle's most famous bounty hunter, it only takes a moment for him to perceive the city's [anomaly] at this time.
The most obvious thing is that there is not a single young man on the whole street, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children.
"Follow me, there's a little... Huh?! ”
Only then did Canquillo realize that the companion who had supported him through this journey had disappeared from his side, and that petite figure had instead appeared at a roadside stall dozens of meters away... Feasting.
Looking at the busy appearance of the boss and the plates that had been stacked on the table for two or three layers, Canquillo silently put his hand into his waist bag, and only after touching the few remaining gold coins did he feel a little relieved.
It was only with some vague connection in Artoria's mind and the testimony of a refugee from Yuanhu Town in the desert before he died, that the two found this place.
However, if you look at it from a higher perspective, these two people can come to the new Santa Fe next to follow the guidance of "fate"...
If the perspective is one level higher, it is purely Lu Ziqiao's goods who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they have led these two people here... There's not the slightest bit of romance or mysticism in it.
So the so-called "fate" thing is really interesting, just like these two people, obviously arranged clearly, but they are also grateful that fate favors them, allowing them to have adventures in the desert, so that they can rush to this big city when they run out of ammunition, and hear a lot of exciting news...
When Canquillo, who was just sitting and watching people eat, heard from the uncle next to him that the female vampire who was killing wantonly in the city was sentenced to the arena and faced the strongest gladiator in the city, his mouth was open enough to fit two light bulbs.
Artoria, who was opposite her, also stopped eating, and the iron fork in her hand was clearly fingerprinted.
The air is somewhat solidified. Until Canquillo let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect her to end up like this... In this way, it can be regarded as getting sanctions, right? ”
But Artoria's fists were still clenched, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
After a long moment, she raised her head, "What's the difference between this and the brutal Romans?" ”
"Huh?"
Artoria put down the cutlery that had been completely lost in her grasp, looked into Canquillo's eyes, and said word by word: "No matter how heinous the criminal, he deserves a fair trial!" ”
Canquillo also stared directly at her green eyes, which were as clear as emerald, but he frowned, and his Adam's apple moved twice, and finally he let out a "Oh." ”
He held back the sentence "I just like you like this" in his heart, and then couldn't help but think crankily.
Artoria on the other side said, "I don't believe she's going to die like this!" I'll be sure to ask her personally why she's doing all this! He added, "But before that, you must replenish your energy and be well prepared!" So when he began to feast, Canquillo had already drifted far away in order not to let his mind go too deep in his feelings.
Now Cankilo, occasionally has some headaches.
Although the three views did not coincide, after all, he had acted with Xue Qiong for a long time because of various karma, and what that guy said, occasionally a few words would penetrate into his heart from his ears.
For example, he learned a little bit of self-examination from Xue Qiong.
For example, he will go from many seemingly indifferent disputes and conflicts at the beginning, but eventually develop into tragic crime scenes, hearing those mocking words of Xue Qiong.
Once, he thought that he would have a crush on Artoria because the two were like-minded, but after getting along for a while, when he found that Artoria was much stricter than him in adhering to certain principles, Canquillo remembered another sentence from Xue Qiong: "It's like looking in an ugly mirror"
Although for him, it is actually a good mirror.
So Canquillo would wonder, "Am I not liking her, just myself?" Like everything I hold on to on my own? ”
Especially during this journey, often faced with the yellow sand and Gobi where there was nothing, Cankilo's brain could not be emptied, but continued to function, so it took him a long time to figure out a fact: "On the day in Yuanhu Town, my anger did not even stem from the killing of those townspeople, or even from the fear of Leah... I seem to have gotten ugly just because of this mirror, and the betrayal of that bastard..."
"But isn't that a little too self-centered?"
"But isn't that wrong??"
"At that time, if you could choose between the resurrection of all the dead in Yuanhu Town, and the return of Artoria to normal..."
"If the dead in those ghost towns can come back to life now, and lose her forever..."
"Never test humanity... But..."
"Cankillo? Canquillo?? Artoria's palm shook twice in front of him, and it was only with great difficulty that Canquillo came to his senses.
Canquillo rubbed his temples, "What's wrong?" ”
Artoria's face flushed.
If Kankilo, who is not preoccupied by these indifferent things and still retains the complete and clear judgment of a bounty hunter, he will be glad that she can blush, because it means that she is closer to the "living man".
"I'm still a little short of magic." It was only after being shy at first that Artoria straightened her posture, sat upright, and said seriously and calmly: "If you can provide a little more, then I can't thank you enough." ”
"How's that... What the?!! ”
Trying to understand the meaning of her words, Canquillo was completely awakened by this.
She feeds on her soul, so she can't eat me, right?! Could it be that Artoria hasn't regained her consciousness until now?!
Or, is it just wishful thinking that people have been like this since the beginning??
Suspicion is like Pandora's box, once opened, it is irreversible and will only lead to the worst...
"What do you think! I'm talking about replenishing magic, is..."However, Artoria on the other side suddenly had a girl's twist, "Yes, yes..."
"What are you going to do?" Cankilo's already clenched fist loosened again...
-----------
Women understand women very well, and Xiaoyun also understands them. And as a person who has a little attainment in psychology, mixed with Xue Qiong, and even touched the taboo fruit of the personality reconstruction plan, Xiaoyun understands herself better.
Xue Qiong is ashamed of Poison Island, and if she can recover now, she will still be a very important combat power... But Xiaoyun asked herself, will she give up the opportunity now?
No!!
Even if you think about it from Xue Qiong's point of view, it will leave her life at most!!
"Bell!!" With the sound of gold and iron clashing, the long knife in Poison Island's left hand split a folding stool in half, and the dagger held in her right foot separated another brick, and even if the red smoke from the bricks exploded obscured her vision, the razor in her mouth could still shoot out like a sniper-strike wooden barra bullet, aiming at her opponent's throat!
Such a close distance, such a fast speed, it was already unavoidable, but in the moment before the throat was pierced, Xiao Yun's body had also turned into hundreds of small bats and fled in all directions, and when the bats reunited into human form, there were two more strange-shaped weapons in her hands: a ceramic-fired ashtray, and a half-broken wine bottle.
The martial arts of Poison Island Tsuneko and the simple and crude energy of Xiao Yun have reached a delicate balance. And Xiao Yun also knows her strengths and weaknesses, if she wants to see the move in the front, even if she can rely on her speed and strength to hold on for a while, Poison Island will sooner or later see through her only three-plate axe, so as to completely crack her offensive in four or two!
Therefore, the tactic she uses is to constantly use her own speed and ability to distance herself, and use all kinds of inexplicable guys to make Poison Island Tsuneko unable to find her routine, until she finds the opponent's weakness first!!
And...
"Wow wow, you also have a shaving knife in your mouth?? Isn't this equivalent to indirectly licking the chin of a stinky uncle who doesn't know what?? ”
"Eh, maybe ~~ It's not for shaving? You see, maybe there's a curvy hair on it? ”
Anger her!!
This is a game that is not very equal, if Poison Island Tsuneko can crack Xiao Yun's offensive, then he will be invincible, and as long as Xiao Yun can find the slightest flaw in Poison Island Tsuiko, he can rely on his own speed and strength to solve the battle with one move!!
However, after entering this stage of doing everything in an evenly matched battle, Poison Island Tsuneko, who is obsessed with martial arts, is obviously still slightly weaker than a pickled guy who is soaked in a sewage tank...
It was too late, it was too soon, and after dodging a wooden plank that shot like a crossbow arrow, Poison Island didn't notice a figure hiding behind it.
It stands to reason that when practicing martial arts to this level, it is as natural for Poison Island Tsuko to defend against a sneak attack of this level, but when it comes to the problem, she doesn't even feel the murderous aura!!
Only then did she remember that one of the main points of assassination that Xue Qiong had mentioned was to turn killing people into mechanical actions like chopping vegetables and mowing grass through constant self-hypnosis, without any emotion and purpose, so that they would not be felt...
But, it's too late to remember it now!!
The opponent was obviously aiming at the right side where the defense was weak, and although Poison Island Tsuneko did a somersault in time, she dodged the first sword that Xiao Yun aimed at the second half, and clamped her neck with a pair of slender and sturdy legs... But before Xiao Yun's neck was twisted in the air, the painful moonlight in her hand also swung again and slashed at the root of Poison Island's thigh!!
At that angle, it is obviously closer to the heart or neck!!
Poison Island remembered Xiaoyun's previous statement that "I want to cut her into a stick".
I thought that this was just the other party's psychological tactics, but she never expected that this guy who was full of lies would really do what he said this time!!
