Chapter 28 Ambition I
Sue's killing at the Iron Gate was brutal, but it was too fast and so brutal that less than two hours passed until he came out of the steel mill with the surviving troops. There are hundreds of Spike's men scattered throughout the city in the vast Iron Gate, some of whom have not yet heard of the battle.
It took longer to clear the remnants than Sue had to defeat Spike's main force. It was only at nightfall that Rigore returned to the command building and reported that all the rebels in the city had been cleared, that most of them had surrendered, and that those who resisted had been killed on the spot. The clean-up process took more than three hours, and during those three hours, Sue sat in Spike's original office in the command building, buried herself in the extremely comfortable high-backed chair, silently staring at the steel door under the darkness outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He had been in this position for three hours, and he hadn't moved. Sylvanas still stood two meters behind Sue, motionless like a statue. Medirri stood on the other side, gazing at the darkness of the city like Sue, not knowing what to think.
During the course of Rigore's report, Sue still did not make any movements, and seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. According to the tradition of the Dark Dragoon, Sue's attitude was actually extremely arrogant for a high-ranking servant like Rigolei. However, Rigolei didn't have a chance to feel unhappy, and he couldn't even see Su's figure from his position, but he could feel the wisps of deep pressure coming from Su's body. It was an indescribable feeling, and Rigore even had the illusion that a few steps ahead of him was a cliff, and beyond the cliff was an immeasurable void!
In the void, there is a continent floating!
Yes, not a boulder, not a mountain, but a whole continent, right in front of Rigore!
The invisible pressure formed by the mere sense of space is enough to suffocate.
What frightened him even more was that the pressure was not just simple fear, but gradually spread to all parts of his body, and greatly reduced the activity of his body tissues! If the coercion continues for a while, Rigore's body tissue may suffer extensive necrosis due to ischemia.
Fortunately, Su, who was silent, suddenly hummed and slowly stood up. As soon as he moved, the statues of Medirri and Sylvanas seemed to regain their vitality at the same time. The pressure that wrapped around Rigore's body dissipated, but the short-term coercion still made his body as heavy as if it was filled with mercury, and the few remaining bodies were even more exhausted. Looking at Su's familiar figure, Li Gaolei smiled bitterly in his heart, this master has become more and more difficult for people to see through, and after returning from the Ice Throne, it is even more like a different person.
Su turned around and saw Rigore's pale face, obviously surprised. After taking a closer look at Rigore, Su thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "You go and rest first, and leave the rest to me." Also, in an hour I'm going to set out to meet Ledesma in Midnight City and see why he wants to be the king of the western regions of the Great Lake. โ
Rigore was stunned and asked, "...... Don't you need to take a break? I don't know why, even though Su has returned to his usual appearance, the "head" that he is used to calling can't be called anything.
"Haven't you already rested for three hours?" Sue said with a smile.
Is three hours enough? This is completely different from what Rigore had known in the past. However, he didn't ask again, but prepared to leave to prepare for Su's battle in an hour.
"Wait a minute." Su stopped Rigore, took out a tightly packed injection from his bosom, handed it to Rigore, and said, "This is for Quinn, let him be injected when he is at his best, and he will be able to live a few more years." โ
Rigolei took the injection, which was obviously overly careful, and although he didn't say anything, a subtle hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. Having fought so many battles together, Rigory and Quinn have long been comrades-in-arms in life and death. Now it is natural to rejoice to see that Quinn has hope of prolonging his life.
Rigore carefully closed the door to his office, leaving the silence to the statue-like silence of the three men.
Medirli raised her head, looked at the heavy wooden door of her office, and said to Sue thoughtfully, "He's already been able to share your spiritual perception, well, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." โ
Sylvanas raised her head suddenly, her eyes flushed with blood in the depths of her eyes, stared at Medirri, and asked, "Could it be that you can also sense your master's spiritual world?!" โ
"Of course." Medirli shrugged her shoulders as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
"Why!" Sylvanas almost shouted the words.
"To feel it is to feel it, do you need any more reason?" Medirli didn't care about the blood-colored gaze that stabbed straight at her, and even added intentionally: "I could feel it more than ten years ago." โ
Sylvanas almost bit her thin, tender lips, and her eyes were even redder as if they were about to drip blood, and exclaimed, "Why! Shouldn't I be the only one who can sense the master's spiritual world? Why are you ......?"
"That's it!" Sue interrupted Sylvanas with a frown, looked out the window, and said, "It's time to go." โ
Sylvanas followed Sue downstairs, and to his great anger, Medirri followed Sue as a matter of course, even without Sue's orders, as if Sue should take her with her wherever she went.
Looking at the angry red-haired boy, Medirli raised her head and walked briskly past him. The boy could not do anything about her, though he could not suppress his anger at all. Even if he didn't have a core control, he knew that with his current full-level first-order spell-like ability, he would not be able to pose any threat to Medirli at all. I'm afraid that before he can send out one of his abilities, he will be knocked unconscious by Medirli's punch. Anyone who has ever seen Medir Riyun use the epee will never doubt this.
The flame in the boy's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head again, followed Medirri, and walked downstairs.
At this moment, his shattered and broken consciousness was full of confusion, as if he saw Ansuna just die. For Sylvanas, Sue's spiritual world was not the greed that was destined to be monopolized, but the pillar of his entire heart. At the beginning, the teenager who was completely controlled by the core, his consciousness and memory had already been torn into countless pieces. However, after accidentally communicating with Sue's spiritual world, he actually saw a beautiful figure fluttering in the vast and boundless world, Ansuna.
Ansuna? Ansuna is still alive?!
The image of the girl regrouped Sylvanas's hasty memories and brought her consciousness back to herself.
And when the boy jumped up in Sue's spiritual world and pounced on Ansuna, she turned her head around, revealing a face full of surprise and incredulity, and then responded to the boy's hug!
Then, there is endless kissing, touching, embracing and telling. With each intimacy, Sylvanas's shattered consciousness regained a little. I don't know how long it took, when the shattered consciousness had regained to a certain point, Sylvanas woke up and began to think about the dreamlike thing that happened in front of him.
He discovers that Ansuna is really alive and living in Sue's spiritual world. Her every move, her smile and smile are so familiar. Sue can simulate Ansuna's image, but she can't simulate her heart. So the boy knew that it was indeed Ansuna, although he didn't know why Ansuna appeared in Sue's spiritual world.
When Nozomi understood this, he was forced to retreat from Sue's spiritual world.
Through a long and cautious observation, Sylvanas discovered that in Su's vast and boundless spiritual world, Ansuna was only an insignificant being, which did not attract Su's attention at all. As long as he was patient and cautious enough when sensing Su's spiritual world, it would be possible to perceive Ansuna's existence without alarming Su. Although he could no longer be entangled in the material world as he was the first time, even just looking at each other from a distance was a great satisfaction for Sylvanas.
This discovery surprised Sylvanas and made him shudder. He knew that he would be with Ansuna again, albeit in a different way. And the trembling is afraid that Sue will find out this secret, so as to really ruin Miรจ Ansuna.
Ansuna, his sister and his lover, was the only pillar of the young man's spiritual world for nearly a hundred years. Protection and dependence are intertwined, and have long been engraved in Sylvanas's heart.
So silently, the young man began to follow closely behind Su, worried about Su's safety, and did everything he could to improve his ability. He wants to protect Sue, because this is also to protect Ansuna. The boy knew that it sounded like a joke now, but he was determined to do it.
He's always doing his best, and he knows he's not going to let up. It's true determination, no swearing, no roaring.
Because of the existence of the core, Sylvanas always thought that only he could access Su's spiritual world, but he never thought that not only Medirri, but even Rigoray could also sense Su's spiritual world! This made the young man's heart set off endless turmoil, not only afraid that they would find out Ansuna's existence, but also had an indescribable feeling, this feeling, as if someone had been moved the most beloved thing.
In the midst of the chaos of thoughts, before he knew it, Sylvanas had gone away with Sue.
When night fell on the land again, Midnight City woke up as usual, and gradually became noisy.
In the hazy night, people of all shapes began to appear, move, and want to find the stimulation and pleasure that can anesthetize themselves in this night.
"Blood Bullets", as its name suggests, is a place where blood gets stained almost every night, but there is a constant influx of people, and their greatest pleasure is to see people fight with guns drawn and blood sprayed. Some people will even let the blood splash fall in the wine glass, and then drink it all down, and the blood will boil! The beautiful barmaids in the bar have become dispensable embellishments in the face of bloody killing.
The former Midnight City, though chaotic and eroded, would not have allowed such a bloody amusement site to exist openly, and of course, the underground ones were a different story. But the newly opened "Blood Bullet" completely ignores this unspoken rule, simply because the real owner behind it is Ledesma. In today's Midnight City, the name Ledsma means rules.
Almost everyone who enters the "Blood Bullet" knows that anything can happen there, but they all feel that misfortune will not happen to them, after all, only a maximum of two shootouts per night are allowed here. And there are a lot of good things that can't be found anywhere else in "Blood Bullets". So almost as soon as it gets dark, the crowd fills most of the huge bar. It didn't take long for the strong music and strong alcohol to start numbing and thickening people's nerves.
A few strong men guarding the bar were leaning against the door, a little bored. They all wore only black leather vests on their upper bodies, revealing their muscles covered in tattoos and body hair. These strong men looked at everyone who entered the bar with bloodthirsty eyes, and although none of the people who dared to come here were not good people, in the eyes of those who had actually been on the battlefield, they were all soft eggs that exploded at the slightest pinch.
The shaved head and gray beard of the guard leader was holding a bottle of spirits and drinking bitterly, but his body suddenly froze! His cloudy eyes narrowed, and he stared at the three men who were about to enter the bar.
These were three very strange men, with wide cloaks covering their bodies, and their low-hanging hoods covering most of their faces, but their mouths and chins that were only exposed made people feel dry. Moreover, all three. But behind the first person, there are two very obvious cross protrusions, apparently the guy with at least two heavy firepower on his back.
The two men in front of them walked straight into the bar, as if they didn't feel the hot gaze of countless stares. The third man, who was slightly slender, stopped, turned his head slightly, and turned in the direction of the leader of the guards. The scarlet lips exposed at the lower edge of the hood suddenly opened slightly, revealing a line of snow-white teeth.
With a click, the bottle in the hand of the leader of the guard was crushed, the shards cut his palm, and the liquor and blood continued to flow down his arm, but he didn't realize it, just trembling and staring at the original position of the three people, not knowing that they had already entered the bar.
"Boss, boss! What happened to you? The shouting finally woke him up, and it was only then that the leader of the guard felt a sharp pain in his right hand.
"Boss, those three people just now obviously have guys on them. And the first guy was carrying something that didn't look easy to deal with! I've never seen them before, so why don't you arrest them and ask where they came from? One of the guards asked, helping the leader with his wounds.
"Nope! Whatever happens, don't mess with those three! As if you didn't see anything. The leader categorically denied this mention.
The guard looked at the leader in amazement, a little puzzled why his expression looked like fear.
