Chapter 7: Slaughtering the Street
At dawn, when the people who were still alive on West Street went out to do their work, they saw an unusually tragic scene on the street: the streets of the past were full of people who had died of black spot disease, adults and children, and old people, and the corpses were not cleaned up, and some were simply piled up, and from a distance they looked like a foul-smelling hill.
In the early days of the spread of the disease, the people of West Street believed that disinfectant masks would help them avoid infection, but they forgot that the virus was transmitted by the air, and that the ghostly figure of the black spot virus was everywhere both indoors and outdoors, and they could not wear masks 24 hours a day, so the death toll of people on West Street was still increasing dramatically even with protective measures.
As masked men gathered, they looked around and noticed something odd about the incident, with horse-drawn carriages parked haphazardly blocking the streets, with not a single driver in sight, and the carriages were destined for other neighborhoods.
The two young men, one tall and one thin, decided to report the situation to the street management office, but when they turned back, the news caused a great panic among the people: the street management office was empty, even the entrance gate was not locked, it was littered with documents and shards of glass, and the mana signal was deliberately destroyed, without which no one could use the mana communicator to communicate with the outside world.
"Who ordered this to be deliberately cut off from the outside world?" a woman asked the tall young man with her fingers clasped together, very nervously.
"Judging from the traces left by the street management staff before they evacuated, the time they received the order to carry out the order should be yesterday, and we will go to see the road to the other blocks. ”
To find his way, the tall young man divided the crowd into two groups, one to the north, to the road leading to the north block, and the other to the south.
When the crowd had gathered on the avenue leading to the South Block, they found that the exit had been blocked by barricades, and a group of men in black wearing protective masks stood in a row, pointing their magic guns at them, and the tall young man was about to ask if those people were from the military, when suddenly his companion, the emaciated young man, rushed to him with a bloody face and told him a terrible news.
"They...... Blocked all the streets leading to the outside and ......"
The emaciated young man died, and with a gunshot, the tall young man found himself bleeding profusely from his chest, and then fell silently to the ground.
The screams of the women resounded all around, the people in black saw this, they all picked up their magic guns and shot at the crowd, people fled backwards in order to avoid bullets, and those who did not have time to escape were shot into a hornet's nest, and some even fell to the ground before they could shout, the people in black were not efficient enough, so they picked up the magic cannon to find the lone person, with a cannon sound, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and it was impossible to distinguish which was the meat and which was the rock blocks splashed on the road. In order to clear the people who were far away from the range of the mana gun, the leading man in black waved his hand, and immediately rushed out a group of men in black with big knives.
There are also people who have learned some spells who are unwilling to sit still, they take up arms and fight back, helplessly outnumbered, the number of people in black is too many, and they use strange spells they have never seen before, some people in black even think that sword killing is too boring, not as efficient as spell killing, so they set fire to the house, and after a while, the entire West Street fell into a sea of fire.
Screams, weepings, screams...... The West Street is full of despair, the people in black will not let go of any child who has lost his mother, will not let go of any old man who is dying, the pleasure of killing is stimulating their bodies, they can't stop.
A small group of people who rose up to fight the night people along the way and successfully evaded the pursuit, when they came to the fork in the road, they found a team of policemen in blue shirts, led by the detective Sha Yu, who had solved countless cases for the people of West Street.
Apparently the group thought that the blue-shirted policemen were here to save them, and the leader of the group wiped his tears and cried to Sha Yu about his ordeal, asking Sha Yu for help, but Sha Yu patted him on the shoulder and stabbed him directly through the heart.
"Why ......"
"You must know that if the black spot disease is not contained, the entire island will be destroyed by this virus, and only by sacrificing you can we save the city. Shaved looked at the corpse of the leader of the group to himself.
The rest of the people roared and fought with a team of policemen led by Sha Yu, but they were finally wiped out due to lack of strength, just when Sha Yu showed a smug smile, a sword qi roared from behind Sha Yu, he turned his head and flashed, avoiding the sword qi, but a police officer standing in front of him suddenly died with a split head.
Shaved Eagle turned around and saw the person who beckoned him, his boss - Gu Zeyi.
"How did the shaving eagle who once loved the people and was serious and responsible become what it is now?" Gu Zeyi's anger gushed out with the sound of the sword trembling.
"Mr. Sheriff, what I do is also for the people, for the sake of the island!"
"Ridiculous!"
"It's a bit ridiculous, and when Mo Ran suggested that I do this, I thought it was ridiculous. Shaved Eagle ignored Gu Zeyi's angry reprimand, his expression was still calm, "But I have to admit that this is the only way to save the island." ”
From the words of the shaving eagle, Gu Zeyi guessed a little carefully, so he asked: "Is the person who ordered the slaughter of the street behind the scenes the high priest? These black-clothed people don't look like the government's army, where did he find these people?"
Sha Yu sneered: "Don't you know that there are many followers of Your Excellency Mo Ran, and they are all willing to bear the infamy for the sake of the island, including me. ”
"When did you become Mo Ran's lackey?" Gu Zeyi scolded angrily.
Sha Yu laughed and said, "This is called a person who knows the times as Junjie, I advise you to also serve Lord Mo Ran like me, your strength is much better than mine." ”
Gu Zeyi spat on the ground: "Phew! sacrificing human lives in exchange for salvation is not the real meaning of salvation, this is much more cruel than the death of people caused by black spot disease! I despise your practice." ”
Sha Yu refuted loudly: "At the peak of the virus outbreak, people will also die, all of them are dead people, what's the difference, at that time, it's not just the people of West Street who will die." ”
"No matter what you say, today I must bring you to justice to pay tribute to the dead souls of West Street. Gu Zeyi said and raised the sword in front of him.
"Mr. Sheriff, you are still the same as before, you don't know how to be flexible, how can you completely change the future of Gazishima in this way?" Shaved Eagle stood upright in front of him with his sword in both hands, "Your stubborn personality is still imposed on me, you just don't want me to be promoted, you know, if I become a sheriff, the Tsushima Police Station is not what it is now." ”
"It turns out that your real purpose is for my position as a sheriff, and your intentions are really sinister!" Gu Zeyi said as he condensed his spiritual power.
"What is the difference between people living in the world for fame and profit?"
After saying that, the shaving owl chanted the spell, and a black flame suddenly wrapped around the entire sword body, Gu Zeyi was taken aback, and said: "Abyss curse, you dare to use such a vicious secret spell!"
"Since it is an elemental spell, there is no distinction between good and evil, and whoever stipulates that the light must be righteous and the darkness must be evil. ”
Shaved Eagle showed a smile and easily blocked Gu Zeyi's sword blade, and in an instant, the effect of the Abyss Spell began to activate, and the black flames on the sword turned into a skeleton-like soul that grabbed Gu Zeyi's clothes and dragged him into the dark formation under his feet.
At the moment of crisis, Gu Zeyi cracked the array under his feet with a light cut, and Guangyao dispersed his soul, taking this opportunity to launch a continuous attack on Shaved Owl, because his sword skills were above Shaved, Shaved Owl only had the kung fu to parry, and could not launch a counterattack.
Seeing that his dark spell could not take advantage, and his sword skills were also at a disadvantage, Sha Yu repeatedly cast a sealing spell to find a chance to counterattack, but Gu Zeyi's dodging skills were too powerful, and he couldn't hit it several times in a row, and finally his sword was knocked to the ground by Gu Zeyi, and Gu Zeyi picked up his sword and pointed it at his neck.
"Worthy of my boss, Mr. Sheriff!" Shaved Eagle sneered despite his defeat, and stopped his men who wanted to help him.
"Since you have lost, do you know what the consequences of defeat are?" Gu Zeyi asked in a positive voice.
"Of course you know, let's do it. Sha Yu laughed, because he saw that a figure appeared behind Gu Zeyi at this time.
When the sword was about to be chopped down, Gu Zeyi suddenly screamed, his right hand was weak, and the sword fell to the ground with a clatter, and then he felt dizzy. This time, he raised his sword and grinned and pointed at his neck. Then he looked behind him and recognized the man who had used the stun spell to sneak up on him—Mo Ran.
"Mr. Sheriff, are you here to uphold your justice?" Mo Ran clasped his hands and frowned, "Then you are so unfortunate, I hate it most when others disrupt my plans." ”
"You...... Wait, the patriarch will not let you go. ”
Gu Zeyi struggled to get up, but the effect of the stun spell made him not even have the strength to resist, and the weapon was kicked aside by the shaving eagle, who did not give him a chance to unwind the curse, but angrily rolled a sword through his chest.
"Say, what should we do next?" Seeing that Gu Zeyi was out of breath, Sha Yu pulled out the sword pierced his heart and wiped the blood on the sword with a rag.
Mo Ran sneered: "Aren't you more confident than me in your own heart?"
"No, I'm different from you, my purpose has been achieved. Sha Yu put the sword back into its sheath, "Gu Zeyi is dead, and I am the sheriff of the Qidao Police Station, so is there still any need for us to cooperate?"
"Of course, after taking the position of patriarch, I need your help to carry out the plan to transform the entire island, and ......" Mo Ran paused, looking back at the sky behind him.
"And what?"
"Shen Yunzhao is not such an easy person to deal with. ”
"It's not too hard for you, can you tell me a little bit?" the flaming wooden beams collapsed from the eaves, drowning out the sound of the shaving eagles.
Mo Ran ignored Sha Yu, just turned away in thought, and Sha Yu immediately ordered his men to follow him, but no one heard him talk to himself.
"The girl who changed the future of the world?
As they left, the massacre at West Street continued, blood pooling into a small river that flowed down the sunken drain.
