14. Two battlefields--- for carrying rabbits to visit Qingdao brothers plus more [8/14]
This night was the darkest day in Gotham's history, before that, the citizens of Gotham thought that they had experienced real despair in the chaos of the clown, but when those ghosts that should not appear in the world were born from the darkness and spread with the bloody aura all over their bodies, they realized that the real despair had come quietly.
"Run!"
Sheriff Swan and his two officers ran wildly on the empty dark road, the light of the warm street lamps became so pale at this moment, and seemed so indifferent, stretching their helpless figures on the ground for a long time, and behind them, a layer of invisible fog was engulfing the city behind them, faintly, thousands of ghosts cried, and endless Sen Luo came out of the fog, enough to make the scalp of anyone who heard it tingle.
Sheriff Swan was fortunate that he was on a mission on the outskirts of Gotham City when he received orders from Deputy Commissioner Pete, and he didn't make it to the meeting point in the sewers in time, but he also escaped the deadly trap, but it wasn't lucky, because they encountered a strange fog in front of them just as they drove into the lower town.
Swan felt that he would never forget the scene in his life, when the moving car suddenly turned off, and then a one-eyed monster wielding a stone stick appeared from the fog, and smashed the glass of the car with a stick, dragging the unsuspecting team members into the strange fog, and he only had time to let out a high-pitched, fearful hiss, and then Swan heard the terrible chewing sound.
The chewing of bones and flesh was a nightmare, and the buildings shrouded in gray fog, the lights that suddenly went out, Swan had reason to think that the families had disappeared in a cruel way.
"Run, don't stop!"
The fat police officer who followed Sheriff Swan ran for dozens of meters, and then fell to the ground panting, Swan rushed back to save him, but he stopped him, the police officer drew his pistol, and shot at the strange fog behind him without looking back, he yelled:
"I can't make it, Swan, Kohler, run!"
"Bang Bang Bang"
Bullets flew out of the muzzle, and the scorching smoke dispersed some of the gray mist, but it was filled in an instant, Swan was a really hot-blooded young sheriff, otherwise he would not have volunteered to come to Gotham, but at this time, he could only watch his companion being eaten by the damn gray mist little by little.
It's that damn chewing sound again, and the blood bursting to the ground, damn it!
He clenched his fists, he hated the feeling of powerlessness, until this moment, when he had just joined the company, the words that Director Gordon had told him himself once again came to Swan's mind:
"This is Gotham, sheriff, and being a cop here is not the same as being a cop anywhere else, and if you want to live long enough, you'd better forget everything you've learned elsewhere. ”
"So, is this the real Gotham?"
Swan took one last look at the already miserable corpse, turned around and ran towards the area ahead that had not been occupied by the gray fog, the guy who was originally following him had long since run away, under the threat of death, everyone who wanted to live would burst out with incredible potential, and the same is true for Swann now.
"Whew... Whew"
The young sheriff had never felt like he was running so fast, but the next time he turned around, the gray fog behind him didn't seem to be farther away at all, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, he was never afraid of fighting the criminals head-on, but in the face of this incomprehensible existence, Swan felt that his courage was fading little by little, and he didn't even want to turn back to face her, just when he accelerated the next time, his feet slipped, and the whole person could no longer control his body, and he threw himself forward, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment.
He didn't even have time to feel the pain from his palms before he felt like his body was enveloped in a strange-tasting gas.
"I'm going to die!"
That was the first thought that popped into Swan's mind, but the next moment, his instinct drove him to throw a frenzied punch upward, not as he had imagined, but with a hint of disgusting stickiness, and in any case he felt him hit something, and the thing howled and took a few steps back.
"You soul, I take it!"
This instinctive reaction to danger allowed Swan to escape, but the next moment, a black figure slowly converged in front of Swan's eyes, it was a guy in a strange black robe, holding a long-handled scythe, and the moment he appeared, the scythe slashed at Swan's neck like lightning.
Swan could only cross his arms and stand helplessly in front of him, but the next moment, a shadow arrow that flew down from higher in the sky roared into the gray mist, like a sharp blade that separated the flowing water, and pierced the evil spirit that had just been born in Gotham from the back of the head.
"Buzz"
The gray fog around Swan lifted in an instant, and the evil spirit in front of him trembled, turning into a stone and smashing on the ground.
"Are you alright? ”
Oliver, armed with a warbow, jumped down from the seven-story building and landed beside Sheriff Swan, he glanced at Swan, reached out and picked up the stone on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Go to the Devil's Gang station, where at least you will be protected from harm." ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by a frightened Swan:
"Hey, you know these are... What the hell is it?"
"Shikigami. ”
Oliver didn't spit back a very strange and awkward word, and later changed it to a more understandable way of saying Swan: "You think of them as evil spirits, they live in another world, and now they've invaded, and they've been brought in by the bastards who are attacking the city, it's a mess." ”
"Waterfack!"
Swan burst out with a foul word, he grabbed his hair, and couldn't accept this mutated world for a while, but after calming down, he looked at Oliver, who had already walked away, and he hurriedly chased after him:
"And who are you, wizards, witchers, why did you let me go to the Devils, aren't they the biggest gangsters in the city?"
Oliver glanced at him:
"You're talking too much... Do you really think that you are protecting this city? You are helpless against these evil spirits, what are you going to do in the face of evil spirits that are more dangerous than these? You don't know, in places you don't see, the Devils are doing a lot more for this city than you think, go, go there, that's probably the only safe place in this city. ”
Oliver stretched out his finger and whistled loudly, and the next moment, the huge demon hunting spider Hunter Hunter swooped out of the darkness with a scream, Oliver jumped up, and at the last moment of leaving, he shook his hand, and the black stone was thrown at Swan's feet:
"If you maintain your stupid dignity and don't want to pray to the gangsters you look down on for survival, if you really have the determination to die, then go to the sewers circle and crush it, I have to warn you, it will be a painful process, but if it succeeds, you may have grabbed the last ticket to survive in the end of Gotham. ”
"Why are you helping me!"
Swan gripped the black stone in his hand and shouted into the darkness, but no one answered him.
On the other side, the Devil's Gang station, the seven entrances of the dock area, the demon warriors stationed in Gotham City have all been dispatched, they have turned into demons, blocking the front line of the gray mist invasion, that is actually the realm rolled up by the newborn gods, in the place shrouded in mist, mortals will not die immediately, but will be hunted down by those who are still weak, once the devouring of flesh and blood is completed, their arrival will become a complete body, and the more souls they devour, the stronger their strength will be.
But the gray fog is not infinite, in fact, it will only cover a sixth of the city, and Sheriff Swann is purely unlucky to break into that area.
"Get out!"
Sergei, who had just returned to Gotham for vacation, held two spine battle axes and covered them with demonic fire, he rounded his weapon and turned into a whirlwind of death and rushed into the mist, his body would heal in the bath of demonic fire, but those newborn Shikikami couldn't, the only problem was that there were too many of these ghosts.
"Hold this place with fire! Kevin! blow them away! Burn them all!"
Sergei shouted behind him, and the next moment, a storm wrapped in raging flames suddenly appeared in front of Sergei, and in less than 3 seconds, it swept across the street in front of him like a crimson tornado, burning the gray fog of this piece, and the lights above the street returned to light, and you could see the corroded buildings, as well as a dozen black stones scattered on the street.
"Pick them up!"
Sergei gave a word to the fighters around him, and then quickly ran to the other side of the position, where refugees from all over the city, led by the gang, took refuge outside the city on moving boats.
The weak threat that Bane said would detonate a bomb if anyone left the city was unlikely to fool Sergei, in fact, they had already sent out three boates of men and had not seen the bomb detonate.
Once the fist is punched, there is no threat, which many people know, but the Devils Gang executes it most thoroughly.
Bane himself knew that this couldn't scare the Devil Gang, so he simply couldn't see it out of sight and was not annoyed, of course, these Shikkai were his warnings and temptations, the real vicious war hadn't started yet, and the more flesh and blood the Shiki-gods devoured, the greater the pressure on the Demon Gang's position, and the most terrible thing was that at the moment when the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk began, the entire Gotham space was blocked, and the portal... I don't need it anymore.
They're stuck here.
"Catherine, they haven't come back yet!
Sergei said to Wanda, the little scarlet witch who was studying the black stones, "I now suspect that Catherine was captured by those bastards, but I can't leave this bunch of things to find them, and Boss Cyber can't be contacted, Wanda, can I trust you?"
"The chaos magic I left on Catherine and them hasn't changed. ”
Wanda levitated a black stone in front of her eyes, and while studying it with crimson energy, she whispered: "This means that their safety is fine, it is estimated that the opponent wants to threaten Cyber with them, the turtles and turtles are leading people to clean the sewers under our feet, once they are cleaned up, I will set off with them." ”
"Good!"
Sergei answered, he looked back, the intensity of the gray mist was gradually expanding, and the demon warriors were also beginning to be damaged, and the number was at an absolute disadvantage, and they didn't dare to rush over and slash like before, they could only stick to the line, Kevin's fire storm had less and less impact on these guys, and the intensity of the battle was rising rapidly.
"I found it!"
Wanda let out a scream, the stone in front of her suddenly shattered, and a black smoke energy flew away, making Sergei subconsciously take a step back, Wanda screamed:
"Swallow it!"
Wanda is equivalent to a researcher on the mysterious side in the Devil's Gang, especially after Cyber completely opened up the mysterious side information to her, all the higher-ups knew that the little crimson witch was very good at mysterious research, and the next moment her voice shouted, Sergei subconsciously took a deep breath and inhaled the black smoke into his body.
"Hmm... Somewhat... It hurts a little!"
Sergei grinned and spoke, and the next moment, a black ghost face covered his face, and his demonic claws were also shrouded in a layer of black blade-like power, and he waved his claws, and the energy became violent, splitting the stone ten meters in front of him in two.
"What the hell is this?"
The bald man took off the mask on his face and looked at Wanda, who laughed and pushed the black stones in front of him, and said loudly:
"This is the residual energy of those Shikkai, like some seeds, after the qualified person swallows it, he can get some abilities, which is much weaker than the power of the demon contract, but it is more adaptable, and it grows... It looks pretty good now. ”
"Hell little girl!"
Sergei's two fingers curled up and smashed on Wanda's head: "Then your Uncle Sergei will be an experiment!
"I was wrong!"
Wanda ran to the side with her head in her hands, and then said to Sergei: "Collect these stones, they are very useful!"
"Yes, I'll give it a try at once to my brothers who don't have a contract. ”
Sergei grabbed the stone with the bag and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wanda, and the little girl lowered her voice: "Suction is not successful every time, failure will be very painful, and even life-threatening, don't let us try it ourselves." ”
Her slender finger pointed at the isolated refugees: "Let them try!"
"This..."
Sergei hesitated for a while, and Wanda snorted disdainfully:
"Isn't this their city? Don't forget that Cyber said that we don't save fools who don't know how to save themselves, but only rely on others!"
"Good!"
Sergei was not pedantic, he glanced back at the increasingly anxious warhammer, and his gaze became serious: "In the current situation, we really need some... Fresh power up. ”
