Section E, Chapter 34: Stuck (Bernie/Qi Lisa)
Looking at the motionless body of his enemy, Bernie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the black blood stained on the long sword, he instantly felt a wave of nausea, and pantothenic acid began to appear in his stomach: what a disgusting liquid!
, this sword looks like it can't be wanted...... Fearing that he might be corrupted by the black ice, Bernie hurriedly dropped his sword and took a step back: it would be better to be as careful as he could be with this kind of thing. No matter how neurotic it is, it's not too much.
"I'm doing a good job. Bernie?" Looking at the enemy's corpse, Qilisa's face was full of pride: "It's good to hit him." ”
"Well done indeed. Great work. Complimenting her heartily, Bernie quickly returned his gaze to the winch: but now was not the time to say that.
Maintaining a strange sense of anxiety, Bernie immediately rushed to the handlebar and checked the direction in which the gears were turning. After a long period of anxious observation, he finally judged that he should turn the winch to the left to lower the gate.
Before he had time to verify the accuracy of his idea, he immediately grabbed the mop and pushed it to the left with all his strength. To his surprise, however, pushing the winch was much more difficult than he had imagined: since the rope was still taut at this time, it was extremely difficult to push it at first. However, once it can turn a little, the rest of the work will be fairly easy.
"Shall I help?" said Lisa, standing up and eagerly leaning in over Bernie. However, feeling a little embarrassed, Bernie resolutely vetoed the girl's help in order to defend his excessive self-esteem: wouldn't it be too embarrassing to accept it, which means that he is not strong enough?
Pushing on the front didn't work, Bernie had to turn around and hit the handle with his back in desperation. After several repeated blows, the winch finally shifted with the soreness in his back. Fortunately, Lisa rushed to help, and Bernie didn't fall. Extremely embarrassed to say thanks, he turned back sadly, and silently pushed the winch clockwise for a week: after a long time, he was still embarrassed in front of the girl.
"By the way, you don't want this sword?" Rubbing the knee that had just fallen, Qi Lisha looked at Bernie with a regretful expression: "It's a pity, the best sentry straight sword can be sold for a lot of money in Beihai......"
"It's not that you don't want it, you can still use it when you wash it with water. Stopping the girl who wanted to reach for it, Bernie nervously tried to dispel Lisa's thoughts: "Don't touch it." Now there is the blood of the clone stuck to it, which can be dangerous. ”
"Yes, I'm not stupid. With a completely unexpected expression, Qi Lisha pulled the red scarf that was cut by the dagger in frustration: "I bought this scarf yesterday, why did it break so quickly......"
"You're still alive, why are you distressed about the scarf?" The frowning brow loosened as the girl was still safe, and Bernie noticed that the girl's gloves were a little torn. Thinking that maybe it was the fall just now, the guard cleared his throat and said calmly: "Speaking of which, it's also to blame me for not protecting you." That's all right - after this battle is over, let's make an appointment, and I'll take a day off to look for you in Beihai. When the time comes, I will accompany you to pick out a pair of scarves and gloves, and I will pay for the money. ”
"Really?" The original frustrated look was swept away, and Qi Lisa exclaimed excitedly, "It just so happens that I know there is a seafood restaurant that is delicious." Let's go together then, right?"
"Whatever you want. More on that later. Rubbing his hands together, Bernie, who felt that Qirissa was a little too enthusiastic, glanced over and returned his gaze to the winch. The rope on the roulette wheel accelerates and turns in the opposite direction, causing the gears to engage. Listening to the crisper "click", Bernie finally reassured: the old winch was inefficient, and it took a few minutes to pre-turn the gate to successfully lower the gate. Now you just have to wait with peace of mind and don't need to do anything more.
Just as he was about to sit next to Qi Lisa and take a nap, a strange noise quietly sounded, alarming Qi Lisha, who closed her eyes and rested. Nervously opening her eyes, the girl hurriedly tugged Bernie: "Hey, Bernie!
"What's wrong again?" opened his eyes tiredly, and Bernie jumped up as if he had been touched: the clone was twitching stiffly, slowly standing up without saying a word.
Panickedly removing his shield, Bernie reached for his waist but felt empty. Hurriedly handing Bernie his sword, Qi Lisa raised her shield and looked at her enemy through the shield with a little fear: the dim blue light of those eyes was not as cold as it had been at first, but it was still as terrifying as freezing all the souls in its sight. The pupils of the clones alone were so terrifying that Killisa couldn't imagine how terrible it would be to be stared at by the Corrupted. If you were yourself, you would definitely be so scared that you can't move.
Damn, I should have mended it just now!Looking at the enemy's wounds that kept pouring black blood, Bernie regretted for a moment: why didn't he think to confirm this guy's life or death?
Stunned as he picked up his sword, Bernie tried to keep his composure: It's okay, it's impossible for him to beat me again with his physical condition. If you want to turn the winch, you don't even have a door.
Deciding to take the initiative to attack, Bernie crouched slightly and strode towards the enemy. Stepping back around the winch, the clone shook itself and threw the dagger at the same time.
Hurriedly raising his shield to block it, Bernie steadied himself and tried to charge again. But the moment he raised his shield, the enemy had already retreated to a corner: the wall was full of metal gears that snapped into each other.
Feeling that the victory was in the palm of his hand, Bernie excitedly approached the enemy, ready to deliver the final blow to the clone: this time he could stab him a few more times to make sure he was dead.
To his surprise, instead of raising their swords to meet him, the enemy turned away. Just as he raised his blade, Bernie suddenly realized his intentions: this guy ...... It's to pin the sword into the gear to stop the device from running in reverse, so as to keep the gate open!
With a "buzz" in his head, Bernie frantically pounced on the enemy, roaring and stabbing a sword. But no matter what the speed was, it was too late, and the moment the blade pierced the clone's chest, the long sword was slammed into the wall.
In the middle of the long sword, there was a complex gear bite, and the entire interlocking device made a loud "click" sound in an instant. Something sent chills through Bernie's body finally happened: the sword pinned the gears, snapping the entire device.
Staring blankly at the wall of gears, Bernie even forgot to pull out the sword he had plunged into his enemy's chest. As he froze, the clone let out a maniac, gloomy laugh and slowly turned its head. With the crisp sound of a broken cervical vertebrae, the enemy's head turned a full hundred and eighty degrees, facing Bernie with a mocking expression. The light of the blue eyes faded in an instant, and the enemy's body turned into black smoke and quickly dissipated into the air.
