Crimson Moon Chapter 5: The Ferryman on the Shenyu River (Part II)
With his remaining agents, Pompeii and Carlos met in the same place, and like Pompeii's group, the agents of Carlos's RED team team were also frightened and lost.
"This mission, we didn't prepare in advance, I didn't expect that there would really be such an ethereal thing in this place, it's incredible, after returning to the academy, I will take all the responsibility!"
Carlos sat on the ground and looked at the blood moon in the sky.
The Blood Moon emitted a hazy red glow, shining on people's armor in a very strange way, as if to tell the group below, "You made the wrong decision to come here!"
"What are we going to do now? The roads on both sides are blocked, and we have nowhere to look for the ferryman, Karon. ”
Pompeii sat down next to Carlos, the situation was very unoptimistic, they had just come to this place and felt the malice from the underworld.
Carlos shook his head, the thermal weapon he brought from the academy could penetrate the hardest alloy of modern civilization, but he had never expected such a strange and unkillable existence.
Now the agents are in a depressed mood, and everyone has seen that kind of weird soul, compared to those dangerous ability beasts, these things can't be killed, they look very fucked, people can absorb your soul, but people can't touch people.
"Are you going to leave like this?" Jiang Che sighed, he didn't expect the first mission to end in such a form, and he was still a little unwilling.
Carlos shook his head, and Pompeii looked at Carlos, "Does the Lord have any other ideas?"
"Hey!" Carlos sighed, his head bowed in silence, his eyes fixed on the black water in front of him that kept lapping on the bank.
"We came to this place, and only when we got the artifact could we leave here under the guidance of the artifact..."Carlos said with a low expression.
"What do you mean, Lord?" Pompey's tone suddenly changed at this time, and there was a hint of ferocity in his words.
"That kind of meaning do you understand," Carlos didn't explain much.
"Do you mean we're all going to die here?" Pompeii suddenly grabbed Carlos by the hem and said viciously, this was not in the previous mission brief, it only said that it would be dangerous here.
In the face of Pompeii, who suddenly went violent, several people on the side pulled Pompeii away, no matter what, now Carlos is still the core of the team, even if there is a fault, it will be said after the academy.
"Let go of me, bastard! you let so many people die in vain, how are you embarrassed to sit here, how are you embarrassed to live!" Pompey tugged at the men, and the respect for Carlos had already been thrown out of the sky in his words.
"You two-and-five-year-old boy, you know that this mission is dangerous, and so many people need to accompany you to your death, such a mission should not appear on the mission release board at all, the youngest person here is just a freshman, are you the devil?" Pompeii yelled angrily.
The people on the side were silent, people's hearts began to waver, Carlos's status in the eyes of everyone plummeted, and such a mysterious place came here without a clear investigation, it was no different from sending him to death.
Jiang Che also understood that things were not good at this time, but there was no regret medicine in the world, he and Jiang Cheng were both freshmen, and they were not qualified to speak among the agents.
"I was negligent, I'm sorry!" Carlos stood up and bowed to all.
In fact, Carlos can't be blamed entirely for this, after all, no one has been to this place, and if you don't explore it, you won't know what's in it.
But modern machinery has simply entered this world, so it can only be explored by human power, but this will inevitably be accompanied by unpredictable dangers, no one wants to come here, and the communication here is completely cut off from the outside.
It's not like the abilities that keep popping up from beneath the ground will cause chaos sooner or later, and the College of Eden can't afford to ignore it.
On the Star of Eden, they are always like a small red dot, gathered together, never moving, this is actually an independent space.
That's why the academy decided to organize such an exploration activity, and Carlos carefully selected a lot of elites in order to succeed in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that he would be deflated when he first came here.
"If apologizing can bring those dead agents back to life, I can apologize too!" Pompey tore the hands of several people and straightened his clothes, his strong chest muscles rising and falling with a huff.
"Seniors, now is not the time to quarrel and shirk responsibility, we must use our vital strength to get the artifact and get out of here!" Jiang Cheng said at this time.
Pompey looked at Jiang Cheng, pointed to the direction they were heading in just now, and said in a cold voice: "You tell me, we are now suffering from the enemy on our backs, we are all such strange ghosts, we can't find the ferryman, we can't cross the river, are we waiting for death here?"
Jiang Che pulled Jiang Cheng and signaled him not to be in the limelight, there was no place for him to speak here, but Jiang Cheng disagreed, "Since we can't find the ferryman, then it's good to let the ferryman come to us!"
Jiang Cheng's words made Carlos, who was sitting on the ground distracted and blaming himself, suddenly realize, "That's right! Reverse thinking, wouldn't it be good to let him come to us directly, this little brother's mind is very flexible!"
"Hehe, how do we get people to come to us?" said Pompeii, smiling.
Jiang Che looked at Pompeii's disdainful look, a little disgusted, Jiang Cheng was obviously trying to find a way, and this guy only knew that sneering and shirking responsibility, which was completely inconsistent with the polite appearance before, except that the chain of gods was a little more powerful, and it was really a branch president's rice bucket.
"The Caron I know, he is a money-greedy man, if we can have enough money to attract Caron, then no!" Jiang Cheng ignored Pompey's taunt and continued.
"Do you have the currency of the Heaven and Earth Bank? Or do you mean digital currency? Is that something common here? If I could, I'd transfer money to that person right away," Pompey scoffed, which was utter brainless nonsense.
Jiang Cheng was slightly stunned by Pompey's words, Pompei glanced at Jiang Cheng childishly, and shook his head, "But you can be regarded as attentive, after all, you are only an inexperienced freshman!"
"Then after all that, what is the role of you, the president of the branch, here?" Jiang Che became more and more disgusted with Pompey's high-minded and contrived appearance, and finally couldn't help it and asked.
"I, are you questioning my role?" Pompey pointed to himself and laughed, "I am your captain and your team leader, my role is to direct your actions, and the commander only needs to strategize!"
"What about the talent, I see that so far, apart from blindly shirking responsibility and directing a wrong battle, you have not played any role!" Jiang Che's clenched fists trembled, and he held a breath in his heart.
"Okay, since you think I'm such a person, then listen!Boy, get out of my team now, you're left to fend for yourself, I don't have any opinion, okay!" Pompeii pointed at Jiang Che.
"Alright, now is not the time for infighting, Pompeii, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds!" Carlos stepped out of the shadow of defeat and regained his majesty as the head of the headquarters.
"Cut!" Pompeii snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"It's just that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you say it so righteously, for the sake of others, I didn't see you rushing up to save people just now, it's really disgusting!"
Jiang Che also turned his head and spat on the ground, he was already very tolerant, he couldn't bear it, he didn't need to endure it anymore.
"Who are you talking about, you want to fight!"
Pompey's body suddenly erupted with powerful power, and the sharp air flow completely suppressed Jiang Che, and the whole person was overwhelmed by the air pressure, his knees seemed to be pressed against a boulder, trembling slightly, his clothes were cut, and his flesh and blood were exposed.
"Enough!" A burst of cold air came against Jiang Che's face, blocking those sharp air currents.
Carlos's body erupted with a white chill, which was his chain of gods, the Dian Iben Ice, the chain of gods that could freeze everything within its range, and at a temperature of -270°C near absolute zero, even the air could freeze.
This is the ability of Carlos, an S-class ability, Carlos's ability is much stronger than Pompeii, which is also a major factor in his ascension to the president of the student union of the headquarters, although Pompey's ability is also S-class, but the meaning is different.
At this time, the highest level of the Ability in Eden College is S-class, some are S-class because his ability has reached S-class, and some people are S-class, just because the highest level is only S-class.
"I'm still the president before I return to the academy, understand, Pompeii!" Carlos's pupils glowed with a cold white light, and he could even freeze Pompeii's hands and feet if he wanted to.
"Lord, why don't you freeze the river and let us cross it, but instead use the power of the Chain of Gods on your own people, you can really do it!" Pompey smiled and put his hands down, he couldn't beat Carlos in the first place.
Carlos squinted, in fact, he had thought about this trick himself, but his strength was completely unable to freeze the river in front of him.
If it was his own master, then it was still possible, but the master was on a special mission, and he had not seen it since the last trip to Siberia.
In the face of Pompeii's yin and yang strange tone, if Carlos hadn't been at fault first, he would have frozen this guy's mouth a long time ago, and his speech was uncomfortable.
"There's a way!" Just as Carlos and Pompey were confronting each other, Jiang Cheng suddenly called out, and Jiang Che cast an inquiring glance at Jiang Cheng.
"There's a way, we just need a shining lamp now, but the lamp must be golden!" Jiang Cheng said.
"Why do you say that?" asked Carlos.
"In ancient times, gold was a symbol of wealth, both in the East and in the West, because it was glittering and rare, so it existed as a hard currency.
In the Western world, the evil dragon is greedy for money, and it likes to lie in the glittering gold, so let's try to make a golden lamp now, maybe Karon will think that there is gold here and be attracted to it!" Jiang Che explained.
Everyone looked at each other, and the idea was a bit of a thought beat, but it seemed to make sense.
"I think so!" Carlos nodded, looking at the people next to him, who also said they could give it a try
