Chapter 22: Honkai II: Me and Freedom (No. 22) 4

"What do you want?" Ye Zifeng asked cautiously, he didn't care about how the mask survived now, because it was meaningless to hold him in front of him when he met now, or if this fact had already happened, but it was more practical to ask what the purpose of the mask was in front of him at this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You have three questions before, and I have already answered one of them, I am the mask, the mask you are familiar with." As if he had seen an old friend, Kamen turned around and opened his arms as if he wanted to hug, "As for the other two, I really don't want to answer, if this is no longer useful to me since I have already come here, I will give it back to you." ”

Kamen ignored Ye Zifeng's question, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the retro key in his hand towards Ye Zifeng like garbage. Ye Zifeng hurriedly caught it and looked up at the mask again.

"You, what's wrong?" Ye Zifeng looked at the mask with some doubts, it seemed that the mask was a little excited, but this was just a feeling, and the mask of Xiao Bule on the mask covered all the expressions of the mask.

"Me? What can I do, I'm so good! The mask replied loudly to Ye Zifeng, "But you, Mr. Captain, actually care about me, your enemy, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine, too." Ye Zifeng couldn't figure it out, what was the mask bringing himself here for, delaying time? Or is there some other purpose?

"It's good." Kamen smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you a story, I didn't want to fight you when I came here anyway." ”

"Story?" Ye Zifeng was puzzled.

"A story about me." Kamen clapped his hands, and a figure appeared, and the Eye of the Wise appeared silently.

"Oh, latecomer, you're here again." The old man looked very happy to see Ye Zifeng, but when he turned his head to look at the mask, his face sank.

"Relic Corruptor? Why it still exists. The old man muttered, and stood beside Ye Zifeng in a flash, "Latecomer, is he your friend?" ”

"You can't say that......" Ye Zifeng scratched the back of his head.

"Intimate." Kamen interjected, and at the same time, he slowly walked towards Ye Zifeng with his arms outstretched.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Zifeng did not hesitate to raise the gun and shoot at the mask, and not surprisingly, the mask's body twisted at an alarming angle, and the bullet passed through.

"Sure enough." The old man nodded slightly, "Sure enough, it's a holy relic." ”

"But that's fine." The old man continued, "Sit down first, and we'll talk slowly." ”

With a wave of his hand, the golden-colored hall reappeared, and the three of them sat on the sofa, and steaming black tea automatically appeared on the white jade coffee table.

Ye Zifeng is used to it, and the quick acceptance of new things may also be an advantage, but Kamen should be the first time to come here, why wasn't he surprised? It seems that the thinking of a strange person cannot be speculated by the thinking of ordinary people.

Ye Zifeng took a sip of black tea by himself, and the warm taste made Ye Zifeng breathe a sigh of warmth all over his body.

"You guys look like you're going to pause for a moment." The old man's expression was serious, and he made a fool of himself, "Tell me about you, Holy Relic, why you appeared." ”

"It turns out that people still know the name." MASKED SNORTED, "BUT I THINK IT'S GOOD, AT LEAST IT'S MUCH STRONGER THAN LEVEL III." ”

Kamen didn't seem to care, took the black tea on the table in his hand, and didn't taste it, and continued.

"From the information I saw in the Templar Library, it was said that the Brilliant Holy See had opened up a distorted space at that time, but with only this fragment, I can't guess what this distorted space refers to. I think the answer I got when I asked was that it wasn't something I should have known. ”

"The Great Shoji? Is that the purple-armored pilgrim just now? ”

"Yes." Kamen replied firmly, "The Great Library is under the management of the 'Miracles' Temple, and it contains information about the ancients, as well as new records about the search for ruins. ”

"Then why are you eligible to go to the library?" Ye Zifeng asked.

"It's simple, it's connected." Kamen put the black tea back on the white jade coffee table and spread his hands, "Don't ask me how I met the Master of the 'Miracle' Temple, I won't tell you." ”

Ye Zifeng swallowed the question back into his stomach, and the mask continued.

"So I wondered what this distorted space was. I searched for clues related to the warped space, and finally one day, I felt a trace of breath, the breath emanating from you. ”

Kamen pointed at Ye Zi Maple.

"Me?" Ye Zifeng pointed to his nose and said in surprise.

"I just came here this morning."

"Then I don't know, but I can feel the distorted spatial power in you, that is, the time in your body has stopped, and it will have this effect if it does not match the time of reality."

"But unfortunately, I did have some trouble at the time, and what I told you before didn't lie to you."

Ye Zifeng remembered what Kamen had said to himself before, joining forces with the Ministry of Defense, what kind of agreement had the two signed before, and then Kamen acted according to the instructions of the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Defense promised Kamen what to do to help Kamen do something.

"But what?" Ye Zifeng opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want the Defense Department to do for you?" ”

"It's none of your business." Kamen shook his head, and it seemed that he had no reaction to this matter, "So I had to be your enemy, of course I did want to kill you and see how you connected to this twisted space, but then I thought about it, if you knew about this space, wouldn't it be a loss for me to kill you." ”

"So no matter how many wounds I had, you didn't kill me." Ye Zifeng thought about it for a while, indeed, no matter what time, the mask had the ability to kill himself.

"Well, it does work to keep you." Kamen nodded.

"Then why did you hire a killer to kill me?" Ye Zifeng's eyes revealed a cold air.

"I didn't hire a murderer." The mask was very happy to deny, Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, and then took the case.

"What are you kidding, you didn't send someone to kill me, why do you know about the 'hound'."

"I heard that." Kamen shrugged his shoulders, "I mention this matter just to enhance my own sense of existence, and it has nothing to do with me, and I can remind you that although I was a member of the Northern Mercenary Group before, the 'Divine Arrival' is honestly a mercenary organization beyond the nature of the group, and they will not listen to the group's dispatch." As for why the northern mercenary group split and why someone would hire a murderer to kill you, I don't know. ”

After listening to Kamen's words, Ye Zifeng was still vigilant in his heart, but incomplete belief did not mean that what Kamen said was false and indiscriminately denied, but rather a decision. Ye Zifeng thought about it carefully and then sat back on the sofa.

"Regarding the conflict between the Ministry of Defense and the Northern Mercenary Group, I don't want to meddle anymore, most of the things I want to do have been done, and I don't need to ask for help from others anymore. However, I want to remind you that the split of the northern mercenary group must be related to the Ministry of Defense, don't look at the two sides usually have nothing to do with each other, but secretly I don't know how many conflicts there are. If you want to check, you must not wade into this muddy water. ”

The reminder of the mask made Ye Zifeng frown slightly, but Ye Zifeng did not speak.

"Then I'll go." Ye Zifeng stood up calmly, "I'm not interested in what you say after that, and I don't want to listen to it." ”

"Goodbye then, this time the exit is to turn right at the fifth gate." The old man said with a smile.

"Thank you." Ye Zifeng walked away without looking back. The people slammed shut, and the old man's lan, who was full of kind smiles, immediately sank, looked at the mask, and asked.

"You've been talking about looking for warped space, and it must be here, so why are you here for?" In the old man's words, Ye Zifeng didn't even think of this place before.

"That's a good question, that's a good question." Kamen clapped his hands, "Traitor to the human race, I have something to ask you for this time, so it's better not to fight." ”

The old man's face became more and more gloomy, but he was still calmly drinking black tea.

"There's one thing I want to ask of you." Kamen stood up.

"What's the matter?"

"Back in time, back forty-five years ago."

"What!" The old man got up, looked at the mask directly, and then gritted his teeth, "How did you know about this?" ”

"Didn't I say it, I've been to the big library." Kamen said lightly, "'Turn on the rewind of time' is supposed to mean going back in time." ”

"......" The old man was silent, and after a while, the old man put the black tea back on the white jade coffee table, looking at the mask with a complicated expression.

"I've been preparing for so many years, why should I waste precious resources by helping you?"

"Because you don't want those who have been here to know what kind of existence you really are, what you did hundreds of thousands of years ago, don't say that you have forgotten."

Kamen said as if with a smile, his words were full of threats, the iron blue on the old man's face, and the tight clenching of his palms into fists was obviously suppressing the anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, what Kamen said was his weakness.

In the end, the old man sighed, with helplessness on his face.

"You, follow me."

The earth was shaking, and Ye Zifeng finally stood firm, but found that the exit was already crowded with pilgrims. I felt a pang of distress in my heart, but now I can't get out of here.

Ye Zifeng walked forward cautiously, holding the rifle tightly in his hand, and the bullet was already loaded. Suddenly, a fireball fell from the sky, and the pilgrims outside the exit did not dodge, and were immediately engulfed in flames.

"What's going on?" Ye Zifeng looked at the situation outside the personnel passage, and said to himself, the fireball lit up with electric blue fire was obviously a destroyed "Halo" fighter, but why was there a "Halo" fighter here. Ye Zifeng didn't hesitate, he ran out of the passage quickly, and after passing through the room leading to the gap, Ye Zifeng stood in front of the melting automatic door. Everything was chaotic, like Star Wars, the Pilgrims' ground troops were powerless to fight back by cannons and missiles falling from the sky, and in the sky, human warplanes were entangled with the "halo", and from time to time warplanes were hit, bursting orange or electric blue firelight and falling to the ground.

The moment the "Stalingrad" came out, the electromagnetic interference disappeared and the radio conversation returned to normal. There was a rustling white noise in the headphones, and Ye Zifeng clicked the call button.

"Naoto Sakurai, where are you?" Ye Zifeng dodged behind a bunch of erected barriers and shouted into the headphones.

"Sir, you're out?" Naoto Sakurai's voice came, looking a little surprised, "The support fighters of the Joint Defense Circle have taken off for reinforcements, but we still have to take a car when we go back." ”

"I've already told Kanae to go home and fly the plane, have you seen the 'albatross'?"

"'Albatross'?" Naoto Sakurai was stunned for a moment, "I saw it, but it should be chased, it's too chaotic in the sky." ”

"Where are you?"

"Where we were in before, sir, we're going to pick you up."

"No, I'll go to your side." Ye Zifeng immediately vetoed, looked left and right at the situation, and rushed out from behind the barrier. This position was not willing to be from the position of the rope drop, only fifty meters, and Ye Zifeng just looked over and saw Naoto Sakurai and Ye Kexin, who kept shooting pilgrims. Running towards Naoto Sakurai quickly, but on the right side of his body, a "Ranger" had already aimed at Ye Zifeng, the plasma accelerator began to rotate, and the "Rover" was about to be launched.

"Sir, be careful!" Naoto Sakurai shouted, but it was too late for rescue. Ye Zifeng saw the threat on the right, and immediately stumbled under his feet, and his body fell forward to the ground, which was the rumbling engine sound getting louder and louder, Ye Zifeng turned his head to look, a J-16 swooped in the direction of the "Rover", and a close-range air-to-air missile mounted under the wing ignited. If it's an air-to-air missile, in fact, there's no problem with bombing it. The "Rover" was hit by a missile before it could fire, and the shock wave carried by the orange-yellow fire overturned a large piece of debris, and the fire was also mixed with the turbulence of high-energy plasma released by the "Rover" when it exploded. The battle cleric who controlled the "Ranger" could not avoid it at all, and nearly ten attendants around him were also swept away.

Ye Zifeng got up from the ground, didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately ran to Sakurai Naoto's side and squatted down, panting heavily.

"Sir, are you alright?" Naoto Sakurai asked.

"No, it's fine." Ye Zifeng waved his hand. A voice came from the headphones.

"Sir, the transport plane will arrive in five minutes." It is the voice of Kanae Kawasaki.

"Search for radio signals, we can hold on."

"Got it, sir." Kanae Kawasaki cut off the call. Ye Zifeng picked up his rifle and smashed a waiter who pounced on him into a sieve, and dodged a plasma energy bullet on one side, Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth and continued to shoot at the pilgrim.

"Do you think the chief will praise me?" Jim kept twisting the joystick, the J-16 kept flipping in the air, and Nicholas, who was sitting behind him, kept searching for targets on the control board in front of him.

"The Chinese's fighter jets are really troublesome, and they are not as convenient as the 'night owls' to pilot." Nicholas grumbled.

"It's normal, it's unfamiliar, but are you sure the Night Stalker can fly in gravity?" The target locked by Nicholas appeared on the screen in front of Jim, and he pressed the button for missile launch without the slightest hesitation, and a medium-range air-to-air missile was launched, chasing a "Halo" fighter plane and flying rapidly, with a bang, the missile exploded, and the engine of the "Halo" fighter seemed to be destroyed, and the fighter plane rolled down like a broken saucer.

"Oh yes! This is the fifth! Jim drew a marker on the level screen.

"Hey, concentrate on flying the plane, don't scribble on other people's things." Nicholas reproached, "And the 'rangers' just now don't count. ”

"How doesn't it count!" Jim pulled the lever hard, and the J-16 rolled to the right, and a plasma shell flew past the belly of the J-16.

"Attention, attention! There are two targets behind you, pay attention to evade! Nicholas reminded loudly.

"Help me lock them down." Jim responded. Nicholas immediately complied, and as soon as the lockdown was over, Jim shouted, "Sit tight!" ”

Pull the lever sharply, and the elevation figures above the level immediately climb, thirty degrees, sixty degrees, ninety degrees.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Nicholas almost roared to Jim, and when he looked up, he saw the "Stalingrad" below.

Jim didn't answer, and continued to stare at the level, one hundred and ten degrees, one hundred and twenty degrees. When the time came, Jim turned off the engine, the two cars stopped, and the J-16 slid forward by inertia, while the nose began to descend. Nicholas saw that two "Halo" fighters flew under the butt of the J-16.

However, the action was not over, as Jim pushed the engine and immediately pulled the joystick, and the plane made a parallel 360-degree rotation in the air. Nicholas's heart rose to his throat, but Jim let out a cry of victory, pushing the joystick hard, and at the same time clicking the button to launch the missile, two medium-range air-to-air missiles flew out, and Jim's plane flew vertically downward at the same time, and the cannon button was triggered, and dozens of cannon bullets smashed the ground into smoke and dust. Quickly pulling up the nose, the J-16 returned to its normal flight trajectory.

"Are you crazy!" Nicholas protested loudly.

"It's not crazy, it's a maneuver I just learned from the Russians." Jim said excitedly, "Frolov Falun, have you heard of it?" ”

"Nope!"

"Do you want to do it again?"

"You'd better not."

Nicholas said coldly.

The "albatross" arrived as scheduled and quickly stopped dozens of meters away from Ye Zifeng.

"Quick! Hurry on board! A team of motorized infantry rushed down from the transport plane to cover for Ye Zifeng and the others.

Ye Zifeng flipped out from behind the metal box and ran towards the transport plane at full speed, the pilgrims on the road thought that Ye Zifeng would shoot, but Ye Zifeng easily dodged, and when he shot back, he knocked all these pilgrims to the ground one by one, and the distance of dozens of meters was quickly shortened.

A motorized infantryman was hit in the arm by a plasma energy projectile and fell to the ground, causing his skin and muscles to melt and form a viscous blood-red liquid. The motorized infantry screamed and was pulled back to the transport plane by his teammates, and the covering fire was instantly reduced by two. Ye Zifeng didn't care about these things, but slowed down and retreated to Sakurai Naoto's side.

"Naoto Sakurai." Ye Zifeng shouted.

"What's the matter, sir?" Naoto Sakurai asked, turning his head.

"The backpack you're carrying can't be the one on the bridge, right?"

"That's it." Naoto Sakurai nodded, "I thought it would be useful, so I carried it back." ”

"Hmm." Ye Zifeng nodded and didn't say anything more, but just when he turned his head, an ice blue light covered his vision. Ye Zifeng subconsciously tilted his head back, and his body slid under the ice-blue light. An adjudicator pounced on Ye Zifeng with a photon sword in his hand.

"Sir!" Naoto Sakurai stopped, but Ye Zifeng stopped Naoto Sakurai with a wave of his hand, "You guys go quickly!" ”

As he spoke, Ye Zifeng rushed forward. Speaking of Ye Zifeng's actions, it was a bit reckless, but it undoubtedly bought time for the other retreats, turned to the left, Ye Zifeng dodged a sword that was chopped down on the head, and finally pushed the butt of the rifle in his hand forward hard, hitting the adjudicator's temple with a bang.

"Roar!" The adjudicator let out a miserable scream and threw his body to the side, but when Ye Zifeng wanted to rush up and make up for a few shots, the adjudicator actually raised his arm in the process of falling, and Ye Zifeng was forced to take a few steps back, but the adjudicator did not notice that the third person was running from behind. With a strong swing of the military long knife in his hand, Ye Kexin set aside the sword that the adjudicator stabbed at Ye Zifeng. Holding the ground with one hand, the referee's seemingly bulky body bounced off the ground lightly, and immediately swung a sword at Ye Kexin, forcing Ye Kexin to retreat to defend.

"Hurry up, leave it to me here!" Ye Kexin shouted, and the adjudicator blocked her way, even if she wanted to, she couldn't run away. Ye Zifeng didn't say anything, nodded, and ran towards the transport plane. Naoto Sakurai kept waving to Ye Zi Kaede.

However, a change occurred, and a J-20 fell from the sky on fire and smashed straight into the transport plane.

"Take off!" Naoto Sakurai pushed Ye Zifeng onto the transport plane. Kawasaki Kanae did not hesitate, and immediately started the engine, Sakurai Naoto did not catch the last plane, and took three motorized infantry to the adjudicator who was fighting with Ye Kexin, and killed it again.

"Naoto Sakurai!" Ye Zifeng lay on the edge and shouted. He didn't want to give up this hope, he also hoped that this Sakurai Naoto would come back and at least jump up and let Ye Zifeng grab his hand.

"Take this away, sir!" Naoto Sakurai took off the backpack behind him and threw it the transport plane, "I know this is not true, but I always think it will be useful." Good luck, sir. ”

Ye Zifeng's wish in his heart did not come true, and the "Albatross" got rid of the pursuit of the two "Halo" fighters, and immediately accelerated and rushed out of the atmosphere directly.

"Sir." A motorized infantryman beside him came over and helped Ye Zifeng up. Ye Zifeng is not the kind of person who vents the fire in his heart to his soldiers, nodding slightly, Ye Zifeng sat on the seat.

"After receiving the goods, they will be sent to the laurel base immediately." Ye Zifeng was curled up in the corner with a blanket and coffee in the rest area of the "Domiha", his eyes were blank and his hair was a little messy.

"Who is this man?"

"I don't know."

"It can't be picked up, right?"

There were voices of ridicule around, but Ye Zifeng didn't care, what he cared about was the fate of the people who carried out the mission with him, Naoto Sakurai, Ye Kexin, as well as Jim, Nicholas, and then the fate of the people left on the ground, Xia Lu, Saber.

"Sir." A sergeant walked over and saluted Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng didn't even look at him.

"Thirty minutes later, we took off. Be prepared. The sergeant didn't ask too many questions, and turned to leave after delivering the message. Ye Zifeng was still curled up in the corner.

"Here." Suddenly, there was a shout from the door of the rest area. All the people in the lounge turned to the door, and in an instant, the eyes of these crew members were attracted. Under her long black and straight hair is a standard oriental beauty's face, a slightly cute duck egg face, and a pair of big eyes full of anxiety.

"Sir." The beauty rushed to Ye Zifeng's face, looked at the distracted Ye Zifeng, felt a cramp in her heart, and immediately hugged Ye Zifeng hard.

The lounge fell silent instantly, and everyone stared at the two hugging in the corner. Some people began to speculate about who the boy who looked like a homeless man was, but to no avail.

"Plus, Nae?" Ye Zifeng said hoarsely.

"It's me, sir, I'm looking for you everywhere." Kanae Kawasaki straightened up with slightly red cheeks, "The captain said he wanted to see you." ”

"See me, why?" Ye Zifeng's eyes were full of confusion, and when he arrived in space, Ye Zifeng seemed to have changed into a different person, and his whole person lost his vitality.

"I don't know, but I'm in a hurry." Kanae Kawasaki immediately said, "Come with me." ”

"Oh." Ye Zifeng tightened the blanket on his body, followed behind Kanae Kawasaki with coffee, and walked out of the rest area.

"Sir." The captain's first action after seeing Ye Zifeng was to salute, and he said the word commander in a second. Ye Zifeng, who was called this, was stunned, on the ground they just called me sir, in space, why do you still call me that? Ye Zifeng's eyes were full of confusion.

"The ship that flew directly back to the Laurel base was ready. Thirty minutes later, we will depart. "Of course, you can also choose to return to Laurel Base with this ship, but it will be a week later." ”

"I'll do whatever it takes." Ye Zifeng shook his head.

"It's a bit tricky." The captain grimaced, "You have to make a choice, or we won't be able to inform Laurel Base." ”

"Then follow the ship." Ye Zifeng said, turning his head to look at the floor-to-ceiling observation window, Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment. The people around seemed to have disappeared, and Ye Zifeng was left alone in the huge bridge, Ye Zifeng walked towards the floor-to-ceiling observation window in a daze, and the guards on the side wanted to stop it, but they were stopped by the captain with his hand.

Ye Zifeng seemed to be in a dream, this dream was so real, and this scene was so familiar. Ye Zifeng realized that this is definitely not a super sense of déjà vu, this is the reality. With a sudden flick of his head, Ye Zifeng returned to the noisy bridge, but everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng felt a little embarrassed, turned around and left the bridge quickly.

Seeing the automatic door close, the captain immediately looked at the second officer.

"Immediately report to the laurel base, the goods have been received, and they will be delivered in a week."

"Yes, sir." The second mate replied quickly.

"It seems to be true, and the awakening is indeed coming."

(Honkai. I'm with the end of freedom)
