Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Iron-Blooded Woman
"Eldest sister, where are you taking us?" Watching the policewoman slam on the accelerator, leaving aside the surrounding city and driving towards a lonely asphalt road, Wang Gaofei finally couldn't help asking.
The policewoman didn't make a sound, and glanced at Wang Gaofei in the rearview mirror, with a bit of command in her eyes, causing Wang Gaofei to immediately look like a monkey who had lost a battle, and put his head down.
After about half an hour, the off-road vehicle still maintained a high speed, without any intention of slowing down, Fan Li, who was made sleepy by this confined environment, lightly touched the policewoman's arm and asked.
"The sheriff wants to see me again? Sheriff. Fan Li added the last four words, hoping that this respectful sentence would make the policewoman speak. He had seen the sheriff, and the policewoman in front of him was 1.8 meters tall, much taller than the sheriff, and she was easily recognizable. She is different from the sheriff, although her figure is also shocking, but her every move is like a man. Fan Li concluded that this person must be a hot-tempered female man, and angered her no better than angering the spontaneous combustor.
"Those minions will break down when they burn to a certain point, the more angry they are, the faster they will be finished, their target is you, they can sense your presence, so we leave them far away, we are provoking them and forcing them to become charred corpses sooner." The policewoman slammed on the brakes and leaned against the side of the road. "I think it's about the same distance."
"Will Brother Nine also die because of lack of fuel?" Fan Lixi continued to ask.
"Running out of fuel? You're quite imaginative, but the meaning is pretty much the same. Tian Mang's nature is different from others, the others are sheep, he is a sheepdog, and other people's every move is under his command, he himself is a charred corpse, it doesn't matter whether he is charred or not, he can't die. ”
"You say, Tian Mang deceived the corpse?" Kai Balbow couldn't help but ask.
"Let's just put it that way." After the policewoman finished speaking, Kai Crossbow and Fan Li glanced at each other and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Fan Li thought of what Brother Jiu said and what he saw before, and began to regret why he wanted to go to the ghost place of Youdu, now it is not only his grandfather who is implicated, but even the entire maze is implicated this time, if that anger spreads, he must not burn the maze to the ground.
"How dare you ask...... Does the sheriff have a way to eliminate the master of the ninth brother? Fan Li looked at the policewoman, a laugh came out from behind the mask, she opened the door and walked outside, Fan Li followed her, Wang Gaofei and Kai Crossbow saw the policewoman get out of the car, and couldn't help jumping out of the car, to be honest, they have been holding back for a long time.
"We don't want to go against someone, we just want to save someone, the things you took out in the Youdu before were useful to us, so the sheriff came to talk to you, as for the recent charred corpse incident, I'm afraid we don't have much time to care."
"What?" After hearing this, Fan Li ran to the policewoman. "What do you mean by this, why do you give up when you have the ability to compete with these spontaneous combustors?"
"Give up?" The policewoman shook her head, she stared at Fan Li, reached out and took off her mask, a beautiful face appeared in front of Fan Li, Fan Li's face stared at her, she always felt a sense of familiarity rushing to her heart, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
"We don't have that energy, or the sheriff wouldn't let this stuff roam around her city." She glanced in Wang Gaofei's direction and snorted disdainfully. "We're not heroes, we came to the Maze City to plan to rescue someone, and you're different, it's you who opened the door to the hidden capital, it's you who let these monsters out, do you still want so many of us to wipe your ass?"
Looking at the policewoman's calm eyes, Fan Li felt her long-hidden anger, she was right, all the faults were caused by him, grandpa warned them not to touch the hidden capital, but he still couldn't hold back that curiosity, under the urging of the greedy ** of the ninth brother, he opened the Pandora's box of the hidden capital, and released the evil spirit of the heart slave that harms the Quartet, and the most important thing is that he does not have the ability to subdue this evil spirit.
"Yes, I was the one who started it all." Fan turned to face the night sky, fading away the haze of the maze, he actually saw the long-lost starry sky, the stars in the sky twinkling, it was the picture on the photographer's photo, but now it appeared in his own eyes. At this moment, like a greedy baby sucking breast milk, he raised his head to scan the spectacular stars.
"I also think this scenery is very beautiful, there are so many stars, no wonder you always say that everyone is a star, and you can judge people's fate and life and death by looking at the stars." A familiar voice came from beside him, and Fan Li, knowing that it was Fredeem, did not look at him, his eyes completely mesmerized by the wonderful starry sky.
"Aren't you surprised how long has it been since you've seen a starry sky like this?"
Fredham still held the glass of red liquid, but this time he handed Fan Li a glass, Fan Li took the glass of wine without thinking about it, drank it all bitterly, only felt a trace of coldness in his throat, and in an instant the whole body was renewed from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. He took a deep breath, felt the cool breeze pass through his throat, and then looked at Fredem with a happy face, he was still smiling, but at this moment Fan Li did not dislike his smile, but felt that if there was no smile in the world, there would be something beautiful missing. He turned his head to look around and found Kai and Wang Gaofei sitting down against the wheels of the car, and the policewoman sitting opposite them, with her back to herself, as if telling them a magical heroic story.
Fan turned his head and continued to look at the starry sky. Above the starry sky, he seemed to see his own past, which was his young and ignorant self, lying on the spirit thief book compiled by his grandfather all day long, pulling Jialan around for adventures all day long, and thinking about how to save the world from fire and water all day long. It was a Fan Li, who dreamed of heroes, and a grandfather who smiled and watched him grow up day by day, and he was still a little boy who had no guesses with him, and a few like-minded brothers.
Fan Li smirked and looked at the old time that appeared in the starry sky, after those old precious pictures, the starry sky seemed to converge into a vast ocean, he seemed to look down at the pebbles and corals under the pure water, those stones and coral reefs flashed dazzling light, suddenly, a blue whale broke out of the water, jumped up, jumped out of the sea, and drew a beautiful rainbow in the sky, he also saw countless manta rays and dolphins jumping out of the water, like a newborn baby, the first cry, the first time to open his eyes, the first time to see a new world.
"It's beautiful." Fan Li sighed.
"Is it the beauty of the scenery, or the beauty of memories, or the beauty of the picture you fantasize in your head?" Vredem's voice came.
"I don't know, I just feel like I'm part of this group of stars, and I want to fly into the sky and be one of them."
"Like what?"
"It's like...... A clownfish in the sea, beautiful and funny, is weak, but there are also poisonous anemones that protect it. ”
"Yes, they are all mortals, ordinary people."
"But it is these ordinary things that create extraordinary things, and we feel the ordinary in this extraordinary thing."
"That's right, you're right, the sheriff has always thought you're a different person." The voice in his ears that belonged to Fredem changed its flavor, and he turned his head to see that it was the tall policewoman talking to him.
"My name is Hu Pengyue, and I used to be a bodybuilding instructor, and then I followed the sheriff to complete her great career."
"No wonder you're in such a great shape." Fan Li looked her up and down, and she smiled easily and let out a pleasant laugh. "The sheriff is a weirdo, she has a lot of mood swings, some people say she was traumatized in her childhood, leaving some terrible shadows, but she is not bad in nature, you may not know, she has helped many, many people who have stepped into the palace of Hades with half their feet, rescued them from the shadow of death, and gave them a new lease of life."
"So...... Has she always been like this? Fan Li glanced at Hu Pengyue's whole body. Dressed up as a policewoman all day? ”
"Of course not, when she came to me before, she was still dressed normally, the two of us worked together earlier, she didn't need to be so restrained in front of me, but in front of her subordinates, she always maintained this dress. She always said that she wanted to be the policeman who believed in justice, but she couldn't do it, and she couldn't help many things. ”
"I still want to meet her."
"What?" After Fan Li said this, the Kai crossbow behind him screamed. "Didn't she hurt us badly enough last time?"
"But they're right, if they wanted to kill us, they would have done it a long time ago, and I want to talk to the sheriff and convince her to help us fight the spontaneous combustors."
"Ugh." Hu Pengyue turned around and walked to the off-road vehicle and opened the driver's door. "It's not that easy, now her mood is very unstable, sometimes good and sometimes bad, the policewomen are afraid that she will go crazy, you want to convince such a person, it's too difficult, I admit that your original intentions are good, you are also a responsible person, but the reality is in front of you." Hu Pengyue started the car. "It's almost time, let's go back the way we came."
Along the way, Fan Li was silent, Hu Pengyue handed him a cigarette, he just looked at the scenery in front of him blankly, until two black corpses appeared on the road in front of him, Hu Pengyue stepped on the brakes, he didn't react.
The four of them got out of the car and gathered around the charred corpses, and Fan Li checked them, and sure enough, both corpses had fire beetle marks, as if they had been branded by something.
Wang Gaofei skillfully took out his camera and took two photos, Fan Li was amazed that this guy's camera was intact, just now they were obviously embarrassed to the point that they could not protect themselves.
"Have you investigated these charred corpses? Do you know who they are? Fan Li turned his head and asked Hu Pengyue.
"The previous charred corpses were all inconsequential passers-by, white-collar workers, beggars or people who came out to exercise, I think the reason is not here, the reason is that the person named Tian Mang, he seems to be able to arouse a certain nature of these people, cause them to spontaneously combust, and gain very powerful power."
"I think it should be anger, the first spontaneous combustor I saw wanted to kill me, before he became a spontaneous combustibber, I saw that he was about to explode, this one also became a spontaneous combustor, fortunately his body is very heat-resistant, so he didn't become a charred corpse, but that memory has become blank."
Hu Pengyue and Wang Gaofei followed Fan Li's gaze and looked at Kai Crossbow, Kai Crossbow smiled embarrassedly, and Wang Gaofei immediately took a step back in fright.
"Damn, no wonder you looked like a monster for a while, it turns out that you made them red."
"I don't know why, it's been like this since I came out of the dark capital."
"You've probably all been affected." Hu Pengyue said. "The girl who wields a bow and arrow among you is also faster than the average person, and you can conjure items through the blue flames. You've touched something you shouldn't, so I'll take you to the sheriff, and you should have a good talk with her. ”
