Chapter XXXIV Cruelty to Civilians
In the gloomy streets and alleys, even if the cold wind is howling, the street lights around are faintly extinguished, and an undercurrent is streaked in the sky, not shining like a meteor, but it is particularly obvious under the dark brown night sky, it is extremely fast, and it flashes by. There are not many vehicles passing by, and people who come out of the entertainment city will not choose to take this gloomy path, and from here, they can directly intersperse with the Jinhua District of Tiandu.
The young man was still unsatisfied, and he was still immersed in the romantic imagination that this extravagant gold would definitely sell for hundreds of thousands, or even millions, although the amount was not huge, but for his current situation, he would never dare to ask for extravagance. If you don't work without eating or drinking, it may take ten years to save up. He decided that he would go to a jewelry store tomorrow to inquire about the condition of the item, and maybe the market value could be even higher. He longed for the feeling of carrying a huge amount of money, immediately packaged himself, with a bit of nouveau riche feeling, and then drove a luxury car, staying outside the campus or nightclub, just waiting for the "beauty" to enter the urn.
With a hint of joy on his face and a slight mutter, he hurried forward in his coat in the desolate street. Suddenly, the young man stopped abruptly, his body stiffened a little, and he was startled by a tall man standing in the light in front of him. He lowered his head, and by the light, he couldn't see his face, but he could see that the man was not wearing underwear, and in the black leather jacket, his naked/naked body actually felt a little homeless.
The young man was immediately alarmed, and he glanced back uneasily, and there was no figure in the empty street, and then he took a detour, and as he went, he went to the other side of the path, avoiding the tall figure that was silent under the street lamp. There was a dead silence all around, as if only the cold snap and his own wheezing were left, his eyes were messy, and the corners kept sweeping towards the man, who he thought was a statue frozen in ice, and he didn't even notice his breath. It wasn't until he overtook him, leaving the man behind, that the young man took a deep breath, ignored him, and paced forward.
At this time, in the slightly ethereal alleyway, with a gloomy wind, the deep words sounded in the young man's mind. "The world is so small, it's hard to see people of the same kind, don't you say hello?"
The young man immediately stopped, he turned around sluggishly, and finally saw the tall middle-aged man in the light, with a strange smile on his face, which couldn't help but make people feel ill-intentioned. The young man did not answer, perhaps the other party was a madman, who appeared here in the middle of the night in the middle of winter, and who was dressed like this, he must be a terminally ill person. Speculating, he just wanted to turn around and leave, ignoring it, when the middle-aged man spoke again.
"Your Excellency is in such a hurry, the incident must be very serious." The middle-aged man secretly said in his heart, this day, there is only one reward order in the city with an extremely high difficulty coefficient, and it is a three-star bounty task.
(Bounty Task: In the Bounty Alliance, also known as the bounty order, it is generally a task to exorcise demons or hunt evil spirits, which is divided into five levels, marked with stars, the difficulty coefficient of a one-star task is relatively low, but for the average psychic, it is also very difficult, among the psychics who have just joined the Bounty Alliance, only the exorcist has the ability to complete the one-star bounty alone.) Naturally, the difficulty of two-star missions will increase, usually three times more dangerous than the former, and under normal circumstances, a psychic who is not strong will never accept a two-star bounty. As for the three-star mission, this is a watershed in the entire bounty mission system, almost more than ten times the difficulty of the one-star mission, and in most cases, the psychic will go together, and if they can complete it, they will share the reward together. The lucrative rewards increase with the difficulty of the mission, and the frequency of four-star quests in the bounty system is very rare, almost none, because as soon as they appear, they will be monopolized by some mysterious psychic, who will not allow more powerful holy weapons or magical rituals to fall into the hands of some unknown people, in case they become enemies in the future, they will only talk about pointing fingers at themselves. )
The young man turned again, and he wondered, his words filled with displeasure. "I don't know what you're talking about, if you're trying to get money, I'm afraid it won't go your way, I mind you can go that way." As he spoke, the young man pointed to the way he had come. "There are a lot of rich people outside the casino, maybe they will take pity on you and reward you with a piece of meat to eat, so as not to starve to death!"
Seeing that the young man turned his head again and took another step, the middle-aged man continued to whisper: "The task of the three-star bounty order is so difficult, I'm afraid that with Your Excellency's strength alone, you are killing yourself, could it be that you have other teammates?" I don't know, if I can form an alliance, I don't expect anything to be paid. ”
The young man didn't want to deal with it at all, and he still had a baby in his bag, so he turned his head and shouted: "You are sick, I don't understand what you are talking about at all, you better go, don't follow me, otherwise ......" Before he could speak, he suddenly found that under the street lamp in front of him, there was also a figure standing, looking at his dress, it was exactly the same as the middle-aged man. Oh no, it's a robbery! No, I need to call the police! He hurriedly took out his phone from his bag and looked behind him vigilantly, only to see that the middle-aged man behind him had disappeared.
He was shocked, but what made him even more incredulous was that the scene behind him seemed to be different from the picture he had seen before, he frowned, suddenly turned around, and looked at the middle-aged man under the street lamp in front of him, this picture seemed familiar, as if it was exactly the same. It was the same as he had seen when he first entered this desolate street about ten minutes ago. Oh my God, is this an illusion? The young man secretly said in his heart, his expression frightened, and suddenly an urge to escape from here suddenly rose from his heart. Frightened, frightened, he was nervous, as if bewitched by a ghost, he immediately turned around and fled in the direction he had come, for the lights at the end of the street were overflowing, and there were many pedestrians outside the entertainment city.
He fled desperately, not daring to look back, looking at the end of the street that was gradually approaching, a garbage can isolated in the corner, suddenly stretched the shadow to the foot, the young man was shocked, the elongated reflection did not stop, and instantly overflowed his legs, he turned his head to look back in confusion, and suddenly found that the middle-aged man under the lamp was still leaning in front of the electric pole on the side of the path not far behind him, silent. Oh, what's the situation, the young man panicked, turned around, at this time, at the end of the familiar street, the garbage can was nearly a hundred meters away from him, the scene was the same as before he fled, this did not move the distance.
"Oh, no, no, what the hell? What the hell? Am I hooked? No, no! He shouted in a panic, tears of excitement in his eyes, still galloping, not caring about his tired body, sweating profusely and soaking his whole body. Gradually...... Closer, closer, finally closer, finally saw the end of the street, and even saw a gray sedan parked on the main road. Sweating like rain, the young man blinked his eyes, and just put down his kneading hand, the picture in front of him changed again, or changed back to the previous scene, and he didn't move violently at all, and the middle-aged man behind him was still standing under the street lamp ten meters away.
The young man repeated, repeated, but no matter what, in the blink of an eye, everything seemed to be back to the beginning, and there was no escape from this strange section. In the distance, the parked vehicle began to turn around, the headlights were searching, the young man stopped and gasped, and then raised his hands and waved, jumped, and shouted: "Hey, help, help!" Help me! Help me! Let him scream wildly, the cry for help resounded through the world, and spread densely in the cold current, but the driver in front of the window, as if empty-eyed, turned the front of the car indifferently, and then drove away from his sight. Oh, no, no, don't go, don't go! Don't go ......."
He actually wept sadly, frightened by this invisible fear, and trembled in his mouth, and then, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned around, staring intently at the middle-aged man leaning on the electric pole in the distance, and did not say anything, just stared silently, his eyes stared deadly.
This time continued until the yin wind rose, stinging the nerves in the young man's brain, and his whole body gradually became numb. He almost felt like he was about to suffocate, and in this cold street, he had lost his most basic sense, his sense of touch!
And the middle-aged man, the man standing in the light, was intervening and looking at him leisurely. "This simple hallucinatory magic ritual can scare you out of your body? Hmph, are you still worthy of being a psychic? It's really strange, where did the powerful spiritual power in your body come from before? ”
"You, you, what do you want to do?" The young man was so nervous that he couldn't even speak. "I, I really don't understand what you're talking about, what psychic? What spiritual power, I, I don't know, I really don't know anything, please, please let me go. He was crying, surrounded by this invisible fear, which only came from the middle-aged man in front of him.
Could it be that I sensed it wrong? No, it's impossible, that powerful spiritual power comes from the young man in front of me, I have been following, it's him, yes, but, but he's just a mortal. The middle-aged man was puzzled and extremely disappointed in the person in front of him, and just as he turned around and was about to leave, the panicked young man spoke.
"You, are you because of, because of this?" The only thing that the young man thought of might be because of an extra thing on his body, could it be that he was yin by that stinky/sub! Gave me a piece of hoodoo! He panicked and pulled out the cold metal jade from his trouser pocket. "Yes, is this it? You, do you want this? ”
In an instant, the middle-aged man's eyes trembled, an extremely surprised expression appeared on his face, and he didn't even care about the snow in front of him, took a step forward, and his entire right foot sank in. The powerful spiritual power was suddenly thrilling, and sure enough, it was not an illusion of its own, and when it appeared under this gloomy full moon, it exuded that arrogant holy light. When the young man saw this, he also understood his meaning, although he said that he had ten thousand reluctances, but his life was at stake, he didn't want to lose his life because of this, he hadn't enjoyed the world of two people, he hadn't married and had children, and his life was not complete. He trembled his legs and stretched out the things in his hand, but he didn't dare to get close to the other party, helplessly, he hesitated, and finally threw it out.
The man's eyes lit up, stroking the golden jade in his hand, and there was a faint halo on its body, although it only lasted for a moment, but the young man was very surprised. "Oh my God, this, this is the family emblem of the Situ family?" Then the middle-aged man looked at the young man in astonishment, and exclaimed in his mouth: "You, you are a member of the Situ family?" ”
When the young man heard this, he thought that the Situ family in the other party's mouth could be his father-killing enemy, if it was an enemy, wouldn't he be carrying the black cauldron, he immediately spread his hands and defended: "No, no, I don't have the surname Situ, I, my surname is Yang, my name is Yang Gang, just, I live in the Lily Community three blocks away, you, you must be the wrong person." ”
That's right, he's just an ordinary person, how can he be a member of the Situ family? The Situ clan is one of the three major families of exorcism, and the psychic ability of any of the clans is extremely powerful, and then, the middle-aged man looked at the young man coldly, and asked in a low voice: "Honestly! Where did this thing come from! ”
The young man was startled, and he hurriedly gave a general overview of the situation that almost happened in the car accident before, including the thing that the woman gave him. "That's the way it is, she gave it to me."
"For you?" The middle-aged man asked.
The young man nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, yes, she gave it to me, and said that she could bless me safe, but I didn't expect it...... I, I was deceived by her. Staring at the strange eyes of the middle-aged man, the young man immediately explained: "Oh, no, no, it's not that she deceived you, if you want this thing, just take it." He really wanted to slap himself, he almost said the wrong thing, if it really came true, wouldn't something happen to him.
As far as I know, the Situ emblem is the only thing to prove identity, so if the woman is really a member of the Situ tribe, why should she give up this identity? Their spiritual power is strong, even in the Bounty Alliance, they have a place, no, this matter cannot be exposed. Now about the three-star bounty task here, there must be a lot of bounty hunters coming to get a piece of the pie, if they know about this treasure, I'm afraid they will also fight for it, in case because of this young man, my actions are revealed, it will only cause unnecessary trouble.
Thinking about it, the middle-aged man took a step forward, slowly walked towards the young man, and said lightly: "You are right, that woman did lie to you, it seems that this thing cannot keep you safe." He approached the young man and smiled slightly, but the smile was so evil, he stretched out the index finger of his right hand and slowly moved it to the young man's forehead. Don't move! With a low roar, the young man trembled but did not dare to move.
The middle-aged man waved his fingers, and the young man's forehead made a few strokes, and then leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Okay, go home, climb out of the window, jump down, so that you can be free." Then, with the young man's expression, he nodded sluggishly, turned around, and left quietly, gradually disappearing into this deserted street. (To be continued.) )
