Section 643 Cats and mice
Cold fingers slid slowly over the dead old man's neck. The dead old man was drenched in a cold sweat. However, he was a stellar-level powerhouse in the end, and he gritted his teeth violently in just an instant, spewing out a cloud of blood mist.
I heard a loud bang, and the blood mist suddenly exploded like a bomb. Push Jules out of the way, and when the blood mist dissipates, where will there be the shadow of the dead old man?
In front of Jules, only a large crater with a diameter of ten meters remained, which was caused by the blood mist explosion just now.
She silently glanced at the big pit, and then looked up in the direction where the dead old man had fled. Yu Yu sighed.
"Sure enough...... It's still too reluctant, this breath of life energy spews out, and he won't live long, right? ”
"It's a pity...... I haven't been in sync with this universe, but I can't stop him. Scold...... That's fine, if he finds out that I don't have much strength at the moment, then it should be me who is unlucky. ”
As she spoke, she turned her head again and glanced at the massive hole in the center of the cavern that stretched beneath the cavern. But he showed a look of joy.
"But what's that?"
"He's alive! I can't believe he's still alive...... He's really alive! Even after such a long time, even if he loses his body, he still leaves a trace! This...... That's enough......"
"Dirk...... My lover. ”
"As we agreed......"
"I'm looking for you."
Jules, oh no, it was Miya who whispered. The gaze became more and more gentle, just like the autumn water. Quietly, a tear slipped down her fair face. But she didn't wipe it. Just stupidly looked at the direction in which Dirk fell. It was a long time before she shook her head and walked towards another exit. There...... It is a passage to the next level.
"I'm coming......"
"We ...... No more separation. ”
Soon, Mia's figure disappeared into the depths of the passage, and the cave became empty again. The remains of the mercenaries were scattered all over the ground, as if to tell the tragic situation just now.
I don't know how much time has passed. Suddenly, a corner of the cave twisted. The two figures appeared hand in hand.
I saw that their faces were cold. All over his body was shrouded in cold armor. After examining the surrounding traces for a while, they came together. One of them, dressed in black armor, said in a cold voice.
"Looks like we're late, everyone is dead."
"Don't worry, there are no dead old man's remains, as long as the dead old man is still alive. We still have a chance. Another man in white armor replied, his voice as cold as ice. But if we can't complete the mission, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even want to die. ”
"............" the black-armored man fell silent. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice. "We weren't lazy, we followed the kids all the way. also did not act in advance according to the orders of the dead old man. Even failure should not be your or my responsibility. ”
These two are naturally black and white in the 'Nine Generals'. The two of them wanted to stare at Heck. But because Heck sent the 'kid' out in advance, he had to go to the front. In fact, among the powerhouses of the planetary level, the 'child' is famous for his stealth actions, and the entire 'Nine Generals' are only black and white who can keep up with him.
That's why they've been following the 'kid' all the time, trying to discover Heck's handle.
But I never thought that the tracking all the way was smooth, but when I got here, I missed, and then I thought about the temper of the old man. The two of them suddenly had a headache.
It's nothing to lose a child, but it's so sneaky to watch a child. There must be a secret behind them. He also has an inexplicable relationship with Heck. If you catch the child, you can definitely involve Heck. That's what the two of them want to do the most. But now that the child has lost a trace, the two of them are suddenly in trouble.
Do you go back and stare at Heck, or go find the dead old man?
Thinking so, the two looked at each other. Then they all turned around and walked towards the passage from which they had come.
When the figures of the two disappeared, a figure slowly revealed in another corner of the cave. He was very burly, and instead of wearing armor, he wrapped his body in a pitch-black cloak. Isn't it just a child?
It's just that unlike before departure, the child looks very miserable at this moment, not only is his exposed skin full of blood bubbles, but the exhaled air is even a little purple. Apparently extremely poisoned.
There is no way to do it, and in order to conceal his actions, he is not even equipped with armor. Walk through the deepest recesses of the ruins with a strong flesh. Where can you hide from the terrifying poisonous gas and blazing heat in the depths of the ruins? This is still the reason why he is a planetary-level person, if it were an ordinary person, even a meteorite-level person, he would have been turned into a puddle of pus by poisonous gas and blazing heat.
However, there is a reward for paying. It is because the child has done this that he can get out of the black and white tracking.
Looking at the direction in which the black and white disappeared, the child first gasped for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
"Hey...... Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
"I already knew that you two followed me, didn't you tell me to get rid of me?
"Netherworld traveler, black and white. It's so famous. Even if you can track the breath I left behind, you can't help it when I abandon my life. Cough...... Ahem......"
As he spoke, the child suddenly coughed violently. Purple blood was left at the corners of the mouth.
He wiped some with his fingers, then smiled wryly. "Sure enough, it's the limit. Is there more than seven hours left? This body should have collapsed, right? It's a shame that I wanted to make a big deal with Heck. I didn't expect that the most could only be divided. ”
He gasped for breath, then stood up and staggered down the passage below. His mission is not over, and it must be done as long as he is alive.
The body darkened little by little, and as the child walked, his body disappeared little by little as if it melted into the air. But no one expected that just when he was about to become completely invisible, a cold voice sounded in the cave again.
"There are many ways to catch mice, and in addition to driving them away, it's good to let them come out on their own."
"Who?" The child was suddenly startled, looked back, and immediately saw the black and white figures.
They were returning from the previous passage, sneering at him as they went.
"You...... You ......"
The child's heart sank suddenly, he had checked it before he appeared, and confirmed that Black and White had really left. What can they do now?
"In this universe, you are not the only one who will act in hiding. The traveler of the Netherworld is supposed to walk in the chasm between light and darkness. Hei seemed to know what he was thinking, and replied with a sneer.
While he spoke, Bai on the other side raised his right hand to the child. "I can't imagine that you even gave up your armor in order to avoid us. We respect your efforts, but only for the sake of the Lord's wishes. Please restrain yourself here. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed it lightly.
The child immediately felt a strong attraction coming from Shiro's hand, and his body involuntarily flew towards him...... (To be continued.) )
PS: Don't worry, it's almost time for the blood pupils, and the whole plot always has to be foreshadowed. An article full of protagonists is not a novel, it is a running account.
