Chapter 42: Temptation
Chapter 42: Temptation
The visitor was dressed in a white chef's uniform, with a chef's hat on his head, the cuffs rolled up, and the front of the coat was stained with oil, as if he had just come out of the kitchen. It's not uncommon for a chef to suddenly appear in a restaurant, and many dishes need to be processed by the chef on site. But Li Yiming was wary because of the other party's eyes.
The other party's pace was steady, but his expression was sluggish, and his eyes were full of madness, which made Li Yiming think of the dragon dog......
The chef approached step by step, and Li Yiming moved his gaze down and fell on the other party's hand.
Knife!
Li Yiming was shocked in his heart, at this time, a man got up and blocked in front of the chef, his hand was raised, the knife fell, the man let out a terrible scream, and the restaurant was panicked, tables and chairs collided, and cups and saucers fell to the ground. The man with the knife struggled on the ground, and the chef continued to move forward.
Fang Shui'er and his party sat still, but looked at the chef with a solemn expression. Qing Qiaoqiao wanted to get up, but was pressed by Qing Linglong. At this time, the chef was almost in front of Li Yiming.
Guo Xiang heard the scream, turned back in shock, but saw a crazy man holding a kitchen knife and walking towards him indifferently, the kitchen knife in his hand was still dripping with blood, and the afterglow swept to the screaming man behind him, Guo Xiang stood up in horror and ran back, and subconsciously pushed the people around him forward in a panic.
What he pushed was Ji Xiaoqin.
When Ji Xiaoqin saw the bloody chef coming, she thought of hiding behind her man, but as soon as she stood up, the man pushed her towards the chef.
Li Yiming has been paying attention to the chef, secretly accumulating strength on his body, he saw that the protectors around him did not move, he didn't know the situation, and he didn't dare to act rashly, until he flickered in front of him, when Guo Xiang pushed Ji Xiaoqin out, Li Yiming panicked, he was confident that with his current skills, he was not afraid of this chef at all, not to mention that there was a gun in his space bracelet? But Ji Xiaoqin suddenly pounced on the chef, completely disrupting Li Yiming's plan, watching the raised kitchen knife fall, Li Yiming's brain went blank. Li Yiming resisted the Heavenly Tribulation and activated the Heavenly Vein, his strength, speed, and physique were different from ordinary people, and even stronger than many Dao Protectors. But there is one thing that he lacks very much, that is, experience, although Li Yiming has experienced two secret realms, he really has no experience in fighting, and he has not even had the experience of fighting in his life.
"Xiaoqin." Li Yiming exclaimed, leaned forward, grabbed Ji Xiaoqin's indiscriminate waving hand, pulled hard, followed the footsteps, pulled Ji Xiaoqin into his arms, subconsciously turned around, and blocked Ji Xiaoqin with his back,
"Poof!" The sharp weapon cut through the fabric, the sound of breaking the muscles sounded, a blood line splashed down, and Li Yiming rolled to the ground with Ji Xiaoqin in his arms.
"A Ming?" Liu Meng exclaimed, picked up the water cup on the table and smashed it at the chef, the chef tilted his head, dodged the flying glass, and ignored them anymore, without stopping, and walked towards Fang Shui'er's table.
The bearded man stood up expressionlessly, the chef approached, swung the knife, the bearded left hand grabbed the chef's hand holding the knife, and hit the chef in the abdomen with an uppercut with his right hand, the chef bowed, and his pupils dilated. The bearded man withdrew his hands, and the cook's body slowly fell to the ground.
"Yiming, how are you?" Liu Meng quickly picked up Li Yiming on the ground, and a bloody hole was opened behind Li Yiming, and the blood stains penetrated into his coat, which was shocking, but if you look closely, you will find that there is not much blood left.
"Sister?" Qing Qiaoqiao turned her head and looked at her sister suspiciously, why did she stop herself just now? Didn't my sister say that she wanted to maintain the relationship between the two parties? Why not let yourself help?
"You didn't notice the weirdness of that chef?" Qing Linglong's voice was solemn, but her eyes fell on Li Yiming.
"The chef?" Qing Qiaoqiao began to reminisce.
"Strange behavior, glazed eyes but tyrannical." Granny Wang spoke.
"He's being controlled?" Qing Qiaoqiao, who is proficient in spiritual charm, will immediately understand.
"Yes, he's being controlled. It was a temptation. ”
"This Li Yiming is indeed not simple......" Granny Wang pulled the Arab headscarf on her head, and her tone was emotional.
The bearded man knocked down the mad cook, and he and his group stepped back, and someone had already called the police and an ambulance. The staff of the restaurant are doing on-site grooming.
"This Li Yiming is indeed not simple." The bearded man squinted at Li Yiming with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
"From the speed of his shot, it can be inferred that the speed is at least the second order, or even the third order, with such a speed, subduing this chef is ready to capture, but he actually chose to use his body to resist a knife?" The one-eyed dragon played with the knife in his hand and analyzed in a low voice.
He should also see that this is a temptation, and he is unwilling to expose himself. The acting is very good, if we didn't know in advance that he was a protector, we would almost let him hide it. The fat man's face was shaking, and he looked honest with a silly look, but his eyes were shrewd.
"When the knife is hit, the back muscles naturally contract, completely avoiding the vital point, this is the body's natural reaction, he can't pretend to be, from the reaction of the muscles, it is inferred that the physique should be about the third order. You said you hadn't seen him shoot before? The bearded man asked Fang Shui'er.
"Yes." Zeng Qian nodded slowly, "I didn't make a move at all, even in the secret realm, I was very cautious." ”
"The physique and speed have reached the third order, it seems that he is a close-quarters protector, presumably the strength is not too bad, he knows how to develop in a balanced manner, and his mind is so cautious, it is not easy to deal with, everyone should be careful in the future. Fang Shui'er was right just now, even if there is no Mr. Kong, we shouldn't grudge against such a guy. The bearded man reminded everyone.
"Who is it going to be just now?" The one-eyed dragon asked.
Qing Qiaoqiao is also a newcomer, but as soon as Granny Wang reminded her, she immediately reacted, and there was a faint hint of red in her eyes, and her spiritual power swept through the restaurant.
"It's gone, but there are traces of mind control around, it's very weak, it's hard to judge the kind." Qing Qiaoqiao quickly had an answer.
"It should be a demon beast that is good at spiritual direction, it is unlikely that the protector will attack his own people at this time, and the pretender will not do such a senseless temptation."
"It seems that the prey this time is a monster ......," the glasses man pushed down the glasses on the nosepad.
Li Yiming felt hot behind him, but he got up and paid attention to Ji Xiaoqin in his arms as soon as he got up. Ji Xiaoqin seemed to be frightened, her eyes were scattered, and her eyes were staring at Li Yiming.
"Are you alright?" It was Liu Meng who spoke, she was holding a napkin in her hand, and wanted to help Li Yiming stop the bleeding, but found that the wound was far less serious than it seemed, there was not much blood left, and it had begun to heal, and the fourth-order physique had surpassed ordinary people too much.
"Let's take this gentleman to the hospital to bandage first." Qing Linglong's voice sounded, looking at Li Yiming, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the bearded group who were withdrawing from the side door.
Li Yiming followed his gaze, then understood, nodded, and picked up Ji Xiaoqin from the ground, Guo Xiang was gone.
"Xiaoqin, it's safe here, you stay here for the time being, the police will arrive soon, it's okay." After briefly checking Ji Xiaoqin, Li Yiming found that she was just scared.
"Are you ......" Ji Xiaoqin looked at the bloodstains behind Li Yiming, her heart shook, the man she turned her back on did not hesitate to block a knife for herself, and the man she chose pushed himself out......
"I'm fine, just go to the hospital and bandage it." Li Yiming twisted his arm slightly, the blazing sensation behind him had improved, and he could clearly feel that the injury had recovered.
"I ......" Ji Xiaoqin wanted to be by Li Yiming's side, but with a mouth, she met Liu Meng's warning gaze, and the young and charming Qing Qiaoqiao also stood on the other side of Li Yiming and gently supported him. Ji Xiaoqin suddenly couldn't find a reason to speak.
"This young lady should stay here for now, and the police will come and make a record later." Qing Linglong seemed to see something and gave Ji Xiaoqin a step.
"Let's go first." Thinking that there would be a lot of trouble when the police came, Li Yiming also wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Everyone left Ji Xiaoqin with a complicated expression, and quickly left the restaurant, many people saw the behavior of this brave young man who sacrificed himself before, when Li Yiming left, many people in the restaurant spontaneously applauded, some people took the lead, some people responded, and suddenly saw thunderous applause in the restaurant. Li Yiming's face was embarrassed, he had already reacted, with his own skills, it should be easy and pleasant to get the chef, but he didn't expect that he was in a panic, and he was even stabbed, shameful.
Li Yiming walked out of the restaurant with Qing Linglong and got into a black RV, the car was very spacious, similar to the live broadcast car of a TV station, which was full of various electronic devices, thinking that it was the equipment of a man with glasses.
The team is configured ...... Li Yiming suddenly realized how lucky he was to break through the two secret realms with his head covered like this.
Granny Wang took out a small bottle and handed it to Qiaoqiao, Qing Qiaoqiao understood, took the bottle, tore off Li Yiming's coat, and carefully applied the potion to the upper mouth.
"It's not a big problem, it'll be fine in a while, Granny Wang's medicine has a special effect and won't leave scars." Qing Qiaoqiao applied the potion, glanced at Liu Meng, who had been holding Li Yiming's hand, and explained. But the look in his eyes is indescribably strange.
"What's next for Mr. Li?" Qing Linglong took two bottles of water and handed them to Li Yiming and Liu Meng, and sat down in front of Li Yiming.
"Not yet." Li Yiming replied honestly, and there was a burst of coolness from his back, and Granny Wang's medicine was really peculiar.
"We're going to get some gear first, together? Glasses have found a good place. ”
"The girl with you should be a newcomer, the big secret realm brings a newcomer, Li Yiming, you are bold enough." The man with glasses pulls open his trouser leg and adjusts the mechanical prosthetic leg of his left leg. Liu Meng's eyes widened in surprise.
"I was careless in the last secret realm, leaving a leg, if it weren't for Li Yiming, my life would have been left there." Seeing Liu Meng's eyes, the man with glasses explained.
It turned out that they had such a relationship with Yiming, and Liu Meng's hostility towards Qing Qiaoqiao was slightly reduced. Qing Qiaoqiao finished taking the medicine and wiped his hands with a tissue, Li Yiming took out a piece of clothing from the space bracelet, and Liu Meng took the initiative to take it and put it on for him.
"Get gear?" Li Yiming's first thought was a firearm, and then he thought of his plan to rob a bank.
"Judging from the temptation in the restaurant just now, the prey this time should be a demon beast, I believe you have deduced this." Granny Wang's hoarse and gloomy voice startled Liu Meng.
Test? Monsters? Li Yiming noticed two key words, and quickly thought of the scene that happened in the restaurant, and then he thought of Qing Qiaoqiao's talent.
"Almost as good as me, but I didn't notice the other party." Qing Qiaoqiao noticed Li Yiming's gaze and explained casually, but more attention fell on Liu Meng, this girl is Li Yiming's new girlfriend?
"What place are you talking about?" Li Yiming figured out the key and asked, if he cooperated with the other party, why not a way, he was really not sure that he would take Liu Meng, a newcomer, to survive in the secret realm for 30 days. What's more, we have a good foundation for cooperation.
"Kamikita City Museum of History." The man with glasses lowered his trouser leg and moved his prosthetic leg, as if he was not quite comfortable.
"A history museum?" Li Yiming was stunned, where are the firearms and weapons?
"Well, the Great Secret Realm is usually accompanied by great chance, we speculate that there should also be a variety of immediate rewards, this needs to be discovered by ourselves, and the History Museum, there will be some antique relics, and there may be protector equipment in it, which should be worth our try." Qing Linglong explained, he knew a little about Li Yiming, he didn't say much, but he was very cautious, and if he didn't explain it clearly to the other party, the other party would probably have doubts.
It turned out to be Dao Protector equipment, and Li Yiming thought of the reward of the first secret realm, and his heart was hot.
"Why are you together again? The last time I remember was the first time we worked together. Li Yiming didn't answer positively, but asked tentatively, if the other party is a fixed team, it is not necessarily a good thing to join rashly, such as Fang Shuier's previous team, for the benefit of one person, you can take risks for all, such a team should be what everyone yearns for, but for outsiders, such unity means xenophobia.
"They took care of me as a cripple." The man with glasses laughed at himself.
"Last time, we cooperated happily, and when we received a notice from Tiandao, we made an appointment with each other, and I originally wanted to find you, but unfortunately I didn't have your contact information, but I didn't expect to meet here." Qing Linglong is as empathetic as ever.
"Okay, let's go check it out, but let me make it clear that my friend is a newcomer." Li Yiming took Liu Meng's hand and showed his attitude.
"It's not the first time I've brought a new person." The man in glasses smiled ambiguously and walked to the cab.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
"It's a pleasure to work with."
