Chapter 54: The Old Man from Hell
The engine load on the air ferry console is already more than two-thirds of the way, and the color of the donut chart slot has changed from yellow to red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The engine is warmed up to 70 percent." As soon as the standard value is exceeded, the voice prompt system in the cabin is automatically activated.
Hong Yuesheng, who had just torn the last Yaksha in half, stared at the red eyes and manipulated the Lionheart Mecha to stride towards the central console, while the fake abbot still stood motionless in front of the console without fear.
So Hong Yuesheng punched the fake abbot in front of him, but he was caught by the fake abbot with a mechanical prosthetic!
"I've never mistaken you, you've been a boneless little mouse from the beginning!"
I don't know why, Hong Yuesheng felt that she had heard this unbelievable sentence somewhere.
Just as he hesitated for a moment, the opponent seized the opportunity to pull up the red robe on his body and threw it at the face of the Lionheart Mecha, blocking Hong Yuesheng's sight for a while. Hong Yuesheng was shocked, at this time, the opponent had already flexibly turned over to the top of the mecha's head, grabbed the mecha's head upside down in a handstand, and quickly turned his head counterclockwise, his strength was far beyond ordinary people, and he wanted to break the mecha's neck in an instant.
Although his vision was blocked by a patch of red, Hong Yuesheng still reacted quickly, and he immediately manipulated the waist of the mecha to turn with the direction of rotation of the opponent, and at the same time turned on the shoulder cannon newly equipped by the Lionheart Mecha.
The left and right shoulder armor of the mecha covered in red cloth rotated 180 degrees, and the small machine gun hidden inside flipped out, "Bang bang bang!" "Rapid blind firing of bullets in succession.
Seeing the gunfire shooting through the red robe, the opponent was also nimble, before the bullet swept to him, he had already turned down the mecha body, his feet just hit the ground and propped up his body into the air, and his legs kicked the mecha chest in the air continuously, the speed and strength were beyond the power of humans, and he actually kicked the three-ton Lionheart mecha backwards several steps in a row, and was forced to leave the center console, until Hong Yuesheng finally operated the mecha's hind legs to force it, pressed against the ground, and swung a heavy blow with his left hand, hitting the enemy in the face, and barely got out of the predicament. Instead of losing control of their bodies, the flying foe somersaulted in the air, the mechanical prosthetic clasped the ground, pulling out five long scratches, and finally landed on one knee in front of the console, but the Lionheart mech staggered a few steps to gain a foothold.
Hong Yuesheng raised his hand and tore off the tattered red cloth on the mecha's body, throwing it into the air, his vision was finally unobstructed, he saw the fake abbot in front of him slowly stand up, the black hair that was originally hidden in the red robe was scattered, and the mask that was damaged by the blow split a long diagonal crack from the center outward, and then shattered into thousands of pieces, revealing the angular face like a statue inside.
Hong Yuesheng's eyes widened in surprise: not only because he had misjudged that the face hidden under the mask was not Applejack, but also because it was a face he never expected to see again.
"Prince ?!!" Hong Yuesheng blurted out.
The Prince, a name that was once known and hated, is now pronounced as if a century had passed... The boy who was born in the Yaning Officer Compound, even after the war when the Yaning army lost its former aura, still adhered to the domineering sense of superiority and patriotic heroism, the prince who once commanded Hong Yuesheng and bullied people... Hong Yuesheng still vividly remembers him shouting, "Death ends everything, but before the end, I will happily welcome the thunder and lightning and the sunshine until death!" Entangled with Butterfly's motorcycle, the wreckage rolled in sparks, scattered and floated into the air, and then fell apart.
And now the prince in front of him, his entire right arm has been modified into a black mechanical prosthetic, although his face still has the sassy and heroic posture and pride unique to the familiar Yaning officer, but it is obviously a lot more vicissitudes than a year ago.
"You're still alive。。。" Hong Yuesheng couldn't believe her eyes.
"I came back to earth after suffering from hell for this day!"
What shocked Hong Yuesheng even more happened: the resurrected prince's eyes flashed with an ice-blue light, and at the same time, his body began to be alienated, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, the bones and skin of his forehead and cheekbones hardened and extended to the front of his eyes, and finally the upper half of his face and ears were completely covered by a hardened protective layer of translucent metal with a glossy sheen. The same hardening occurs in other parts of the body, shrouded in the outer layer of rapidly increasing muscles, like the steel armor worn by ancient knights. Even the right arm of the machine split into chunks as it changed in size and reformed into a larger prosthetic limb, connected by ice-blue tissue, as a result of the application of biomechanical engineering.
Once the armor was covered, pointed-like protrusions grew from the shoulders and sides of the head, as if adding a raging fire to the armor.
Although the whole alienated prince has become larger than a human, he still stands with his legs upright, unlike the general-purpose Yaksha who marches on all fours; It is not as bulky as a tank yaksha, the body is straight and slender, and the tail that sprang out from the back is like a long steel cable, swinging slowly and powerfully, and the overall look is even a touch of elegance.
The red cloth rolled in the air a few times, and the moment it landed on the ground between the prince and Hong Yuesheng, it was like ringing the bell of the fighting arena, the prince roared in a low voice and rushed towards Hong Yuesheng with a wave of his claws.
Although he was still immersed in shock and doubt, Hong Yuesheng had to raise his fist to face the enemy who rushed up.
The battle between the two fateful rivals began in this small cabin.
In the area of the Doge's Palace, William was surrounded by the deafening cheers of soldiers and their families.
"Lord Governor!"
“Viceroy_William!! (Governor William!!) )”
"Where's Victor?" Governor William asked Mr. Stephens, the butler.
"He was with me just now...
Brunhilde, who had watched his eldest brother Victor and the silver fox leave, bowed his head and was silent.
"Forget it, it's okay." Governor William waved his hand, walked to the crowd, and shook hands with the crowd separated by the guards with a smile, followed by Brünnhilde and Mr. Stephens.
"Your Excellency! Take up some of your time, read my love letter! ”
“Viceroy! Viceroy!! (Your Excellency the Governor!) Your Excellency the Governor!! )”
Governor William responded enthusiastically to the requests of the people around him, and Brunhilde looked to the sky while keeping an eye on the safety of the Governor. I don't know if it was an illusion or if it happened, the direction of the air ferry in the distance seemed to have changed compared to before she entered the Governor's Palace, and the bow of the boat was more inclined to the Governor's Palace.
The prince's steel prosthetic punch hit Hong Yuesheng's left shoulder hard, dodging and shattering the left shoulder cannon that was shooting, almost hitting Hong's head. Just as Hong Yuesheng was glad to have dodged the blow, the prince's prosthetic limb suddenly passed through the blue electric light, and the powerful electromagnetic power directly entered the Lionheart Mecha, causing Hong Yuesheng to feel numb. Hong gritted his teeth and returned with a left hook that hit the prince in the ribs, and the prince snorted but still fought back quickly. The fists of the two of them fighting each other are getting faster and faster, staggered like a meteor shower, and it is difficult to solve for a while. Finally Hong Yuesheng grabbed a flaw and knocked the prince away with a heavy punch, he immediately turned around to close the console, but the prince fell vertically on all fours to the wall behind him, and then ran along the cabin wall for half a circle and then kicked the wall and rushed towards Hong Yuesheng, kicking Hong's arm that was already close to the dashboard away, and then hooking the joint of the Lionheart King Mecha with his tail, so as to throw the Yaksha-like body in the air one hundred and eighty degrees and drag it back to the mecha, and fight with Hong Yuesheng again. Due to Prince Yaksha's extensive use of close jiu-jitsu and strangulation techniques, the powerful attack power of the Lionheart mecha often has nowhere to be unleashed.
Just when Hong Yuesheng was entangled in his throat by the prince's cable-like tail and couldn't be separated, Hong Yuesheng could see that the bow of the ferry was constantly turning outside the hanging window in front of Hong Yuesheng, and finally the bow of the boat was completely facing the governor's palace.
After greeting the family members of Governor William, the soldiers walked to the podium in the center of the garden, where the Governor's name was still being shouted around him. William raised his hands and gently lowered them to signal silence, and the voices of the people gradually lowered. According to the plan, the fireworks should rise from the center of the Governor's Palace, and bloom into a rotating golden god Meda Busoya in the stars of the silver star-shaped fireworks that have formed a circle in the sky, and the two halos around the god Meda Busoya are composed of Yanin and Meda Busoa characters respectively: "Alliance Day Commemoration/Anniversary_of_the_Me-Ya_Alliances".
"As soon as the ceremony is over, escort the governor away." Brunhild whispered to the tank girl beside him.
"Yes, Captain." Tank Girl nodded.
Brunhilde approached the podium, keeping an eye out for possible invisible enemies. The guests in the garden are authenticated and are supposed to be loyal supporters of the US-Asia Alliance. They all watched the Governor with fervent eyes, looking forward to the beginning of the ceremony, and found nothing out of the ordinary. The occasional flash of electromagnetic light in the air meant that Alex's shield was working normally, which made Brunhilde feel a little relieved.
Bang dang! Bang dang!
Even in the cabin, the sound of engine gears spinning at high speed can be heard. A huge amount of energy has been accumulated in the jet device outside the air ferry, ready to explode at any moment.
The booster behind the Lionheart mecha spewed out a heat wave, pushing the prince who was originally riding behind him with a discharged mechanical prosthetic leg to strangle Hong Yuesheng's neck and the mecha itself into the air, the scorching air wave forced the prince to let go of his claws, Hong Yuesheng took the opportunity to raise his hand to grab the prince behind him, and volleyed an over-the-shoulder fall with all his strength, throwing the prince to the ground.
The prince slammed to the ground, and the entire cabin floor cracked around him.
"The engine is preheated to 85 percent, which is close to the preset planned value." The red start button on the worktop starts flashing.
Before the prince could get up, Hong Yuesheng had already fallen from the sky, clasped his hands together and smashed down on the prince's chest. Even if lying on the ground with limited mobility, the prince is still agile, he turned sideways in time, fortunately let the vital point dodge the fatal blow, but the right mechanical prosthetic was still hit by Hong Yuesheng, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, the prince saw that he couldn't pull out the almost scrapped prosthetic, and he actually fought hard with his sharp left claw, cut off his right arm to regain his freedom, and then quickly flipped backwards in the hope of widening the distance between him and the Lionheart Mecha. But as soon as he landed, Hong Yuesheng had already rushed to the front of him unprepared, holding the severed limb as a weapon in his hand, and slammed it into the prince's face! This hit made the prince's eyes black for a while, blood spurted out of his mouth, Hong Yuesheng seized the opportunity, opened the bow left and right, and continuously hit the prince's face, the hardened layer that originally protected the eyes was actually cracked, and the Lionheart mecha finally seemed to hit a home run with a baseball bat, and the upward blow knocked the prince away, and the hardened layer of his face shattered in the air, and then the person smashed to the center console. Although the console is deformed, the system does not stop, and the red start button is still flashing.
Blood spilled from the prince's clenched sharp teeth, and the successive blows just now had already hurt his vitality somewhat.
"Get out of the way now, or die!" Hong Yuesheng threw the mechanical prosthetic leg in his hand aside and walked towards the prince and the console.
The Prince's ice-blue eyes, which had resurfaced from his torn facial armor, oozed blood, and he stood up with his back to the console, supporting his body with one arm, but he didn't mean to get out of the way.
Hong Yuesheng's heart was horizontal, and the Lionheart King mecha spit out a wave of air under his feet, and pounced on the prince to give the final blow...
Bang!
A stream of blood spurted out! Splashed the face of Prince Yaksha, but it was not the prince's own blood. On the contrary, Hong Yuesheng, who was already close to the crown prince, took two steps back in surprise, and then realized that the blood that was sprayed from the bullet in his right shoulder was a high-speed sniper bullet that was enough to shoot through the Lionheart Mecha, and the gunfire was slower than the bullet before it came from the hanging window of the air ferry.
"The engine is 90% pre-heated, has reached the preset planned value, and is ready to start at any time!" The red start button is finally fully lit.
"May the deceased live forever and accompany me to the eternal prosperity of the Asian-American Alliance!" After taking the oath, Governor William pressed the huge white round button in the center of the podium. Two huge searchlights first hit the outer wall of the Doge's Palace, revealing the giant coats of arms of Yanin and Meda Busoya, surrounded by roses, respectively.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The fireworks roar into the air in the shape of a minimalist, well-defined figure of the god Meda Busoya.
At the same time, several successive sniper bullets penetrated the hull with air waves and intercepted between the prince and Hong Yuesheng again, forcing back Hong Yuesheng, who was already wounded but still tried to get closer to the prince.
"Who the hell is shooting?!" Hong Yuesheng endured the pain and looked out of the hanging window.
The prince seized the opportunity and slammed the red start button on the center console with his one-arm.
"Preset plan starts!" All the computers in the entire ferry command room were turned on at the same time, and the lights were turned on in an instant, just like the stage of a superstar. More than the ferry itself, the first to receive the order to act were the dozens of mechanical white ghosts roaming in the air outside the ship, their ghostly electronic eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling green light, let out a seeping scream in unison, and then waved their fleshless skeletal steel claws from the air to scatter from the air to the palace mountain, the crowd outside the governor's palace and the security bureau police responsible for maintaining law and order. Several unfortunate innocent passers-by were grabbed by the white ghosts who swooped down by their clothes, necklines, and even heads and thrown down in the air, falling to the ground and blurring their flesh and blood, and the crowd was immediately chaotic, and the fleeing and dodging pushed each other, and a ghost cried wolf, and the scene was miserable.
"It's time for you to pay the price~" The prince looked at Hong Yuesheng and said with a smile while drinking blood.
The prince's words were a pun on the pun - just as life and death can only be crossed by reincarnation, according to Yaning legend, if you want to cross the Santu River and get reincarnation, taking a ferry is the only way. However, there is a fare to pay for the boat, that is, the "price" in the mouth of the prince, and the souls who do not pay the price will not only not be able to board the ferry, but will also be caught by those white ghosts who are left in the world because of hatred and obsession, and are bent on revenge, and thrown into the vast Santu River. The waters of the Santu River seem to be calm, but they are not buoyant at all, and they are highly poisonous and can corrode souls. Once you fall into the water, you will never be reborn, and you will be tormented forever in the cold and bone-cold waters, and the pain will be abnormal.
The top floor of the inconspicuous building not far from the air ferry, but with a good view, is a temporary Wangxiang Terrace for the commemoration of the Alliance Day, which is said to be the last place to look at their hometown and their relatives: people stand on the Wangxiang Terrace and take a last look at the love of their dreams, and... their own love and hatred. After reading what should be seen, the sniper closes the sniper scope, quickly disassembles the special sniper rifle, puts it in the box he carries with him, and stands up from the ground, revealing a slender figure and long, straight black hair. She lifted her hand and pulled up the hoodie behind her back and put it on her head to cover her face, and her back quietly took one last look out the window, then turned and quickly left the lookout platform, leaving only the unique scenery of the white ghost throwing passers-by around the air ferry like a raven.
