CHAPTER 5 The Führer's Visit
The previous battle consumed a lot of Song Chengjie's physical strength, and the night was already dark, so it was urgent to find a place to rest. But helplessly, Song Chengjie tragically found himself lost.
Yes, it's lost.
Because he has been under house arrest by the king of the earth for the past two years, he has never left the campus at all, and he doesn't know the changes brought about by urban construction in the past two years, plus he was in a panic just now, in short, he doesn't know where he is now.
"That...... Where is your house, I have to send you back first. Waving his arm, Song Chengjie, who had regained some strength a little, suddenly felt that it seemed very shameless to say that he was lost, so he chose a reasonable excuse after weighing it.
But what caught him off guard was that Xiao Jiaying suddenly twisted at this time, and after being entangled for a while, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I...... I don't know where my house is, I haven't been out much. ”
Hey, don't make a fuss...... In the middle of the night, you told me that you don't know where your home is? Song Chengjie looked at her with an innocent smile on his face with a shocked face, and suddenly remembered a very terrible thing, Xiao Jiaying seemed to have been a road idiot since she was a child: "Then, it's okay to have a landmark building." ”
"Hmm...... There's a bookstore nearby, a grocery store downstairs, and a ...... The steamed buns are delicious breakfast stall ......" seemed to have seized a glimmer of life, Xiao Jiaying recalled very carefully, but although her serious expression was very worthy of sympathy, but helplessly, these made Song Chengjie even more powerless......
Bookstores, it seems that there is one under the overpass, grocery stores, at least five when I was on the run, and as for the early stalls...... Forget it, the school can't go back anyway, at least until dawn when the demons are not so active.
"Actually, I'm lost too. After Song Chengjie finished speaking, he felt that he had no face to see people, "That, if you don't mind, come to me, anyway, you live alone." ”
Xiao Jiaying was obviously embarrassed when she heard it, but after a little consideration, she could only agree.
Not only relieved but also sighed, in short, after hearing her answer, Song Chengjie suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed. Thinking that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Song Chengjie took out his mobile phone and turned on the GPS: "Look, this little red dot is where we are, do you know where your home is?"
Xiao Jiaying, who is a road idiot, just glanced at the dense lines on the screen, and immediately decided not to look at the map again. But she was a little concerned about the situation at Song Chengjie's family: "Doesn't the senior live with his family?"
"They dwelt separately from me, and they were all in the kingdom of heaven. ”
"Sorry......" Looking at Song Chengjie, who turned around and silently led the way in front, Xiao Jiaying felt that she had said the wrong thing. After all, she has also lost her loved ones, and she can better understand how complicated a family like hers feels when others mention her family.
Raising his head slightly to look at the starry sky, Song Chengjie said calmly: "There is no need to apologize, people can't be resurrected after death, and mourning is." ”
In fact, he didn't understand Xiao Jiaying's hard work in the past two years, although he heard that the organization had taken care of her a lot, but these complicated things could not be cured no matter what. Readjusting his mentality, Song Chengjie stretched his waist and urged: "Let's go, there is still class tomorrow." ”
The distance is not close, but the two of them came to a hotel that looks quite high-end: "Hongchuan State Guest House ......"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Song Chengjie immediately made a phone call: "The old thing of the loser, this is what you said 'I just got a place for you'?"
On the other side of the phone, Falato's voice was visibly sleepy: "You went back so late...... Well, it should be much better than your dorm, right?"
"It's too expensive, isn't it? I can't afford to live even if I save up for two years, so you can help me get it back tomorrow." ”
"Don't worry about this, I've already bought one floor. After all, some of our expatriates don't have a decent place to rest. I've already said hello to the hotel manager, it's all free of charge and by legal means. ”
Are you sure you're really using legal means......
"Forget it, it doesn't cost anything. Song Chengjie hung up the phone and went straight to the door with Xiao Jiaying, who looked surprised. He doesn't care about anything at all, and in his opinion, it is better to donate more to poor villages and towns than to waste these funds.
However, when he walked into the building, he was stunned and muttered, "Defensive enchantment?"
Not only that, but these spells are also integrated with the building itself, and the building supports the spells, and the spells protect the building, like a shrunken version of the Hongchuan Cathedral. And the one who can achieve this level of defensive enchantment is only one person in the entire Zhongzhou branch.
It seems that my sister has also put a lot of thought into it. After coming back this time, I didn't have a good conversation with her before I went back to school, which can be regarded as a dereliction of duty on my brother.
There was a little self-deprecation in his heart, but more of pride: this is his sister, a genius who completely inherited the defense design concept of the Fifth Marshal, and who had commanded the personnel of the headquarters on behalf of the Fifth Marshal two years ago to face the demon army.
While thinking about it, he led Xiao Jiaying to the front desk, and after showing his ID card, the waiter who had already greeted them politely led them to a room, but after pushing the door in, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
Cardboard boxes, large and small, occupy almost the entire corridor space, full of complicated calculations and messy notes on the floor, and between the boxes, a tired and sleeping girl is curled up awkwardly.
The slight sound of the two entering the room woke up Song Chengyin, and she was about to put on an attack posture subconsciously, but helplessly, before she could stand firmly, she hit her head on a cardboard box, and at the same time saw the two people at the door, she couldn't help but be a little happy, and rushed over and hugged Song Chengjie: "Brother!"
Caressing Song Chengyin's hair, Song Chengjie slightly stepped forward and introduced: "This is my alumnus Xiao Jiaying, this is my sister Song Chengyin." ”
"Hello, I'm Song Chengyin, brother, I'm sorry for you. Song Chengyin stretched out a hand as he spoke, but he still held Song Chengjie and seemed to like sticking to him.
"When we met for the first time, I was Xiao Jiaying...... That, excuse me!"
"You're welcome, you two, go in first. By the way, Xiao Jiaying is lost, so let's stay for one night today. I was a little tired, so I rested first. Of course, Song Chengjie wanted to chat with the two of them or something, but the increasingly obvious fatigue made him unable to last long.
Song Chengyin knew very well what had happened before, so he didn't continue to pester Song Chengjie. It's just that she is still very curious about Xiao Jiaying's situation, after all, she has been mainly responsible for the internal defense of the church in the past two years, and she doesn't know much about Xiao Jiaying.
Listening to the laughter of the two in the living room, Song Chengjie lay on the bed, and shook his arm in the air, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The two reinforcements sent by the King of Earth were killed in the middle of the process, otherwise he would never have escaped so easily. But then again, when did the King of the Earth become so generous, the three second-class demons were wiped out without any action, and Hongchuan was too quiet tonight.
What's more, Hongchuan is not a particularly valuable city, but it has not only become the Zhongzhou branch of the Shield of Justice, but also coincidentally favored by the King of the Earth, which is really suspicious.
And in two years, the Earth King had the time and strength to move to the surrounding cities where the defense was not so strong, but he still insisted, preferring to carry out those experiments in such an environment that was very dangerous for him.
It seems that it is necessary to discuss it with Hayato.
There is also a fact that his own strength has also dropped too much. Although the Holy Wind Thorn, as a spiritual weapon, did not abandon itself, it was absolutely impossible to always rely on external objects, and it was necessary to increase the opportunity for actual combat and re-enhance its strength.
And while they were busy running, a well-dressed middle-aged man was smiling with his blood-glittering eyes and looking at the lights between the mountains in the distance, which was the Hongchuan Cathedral.
"I didn't expect the Führer to come in person, and I missed the distance. He stood respectfully behind the man, trying his best to suppress the magic of the riot in his body.
Why did the head of the Senate of the Blood Clan suddenly come to Hongchuan? Could it be that his henchmen found out about my plan just one day yesterday?
"You seem nervous. The Führer chuckled and glanced back at the Earth King, "Our cooperation is based on facing a common enemy, so rest assured, I won't do anything to you until the human exorcist is destroyed." We need your research, you need our black magic, and we are in a relationship of mutual exploitation. ”
As he spoke, the Führer's gaze drifted to an extremely conspicuous high-rise building in the city, and he slowly read the sign he saw with his excellent eyesight: "Hongchuan State Guest House? Hmph, it seems that your territory has been robbed a lot in the past two years." ”
After speaking, two pairs of pitch-black wings spread out behind him without warning, and the blood and qi in the sky suddenly gushed out, and the trees on the campus even began to wither unnaturally. But in the next moment, as he returned the black feather to invisible, all this disappeared again: "Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect our cooperation, let's bear with it for the time being." ”
"The subordinates understand. The King of the Earth breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his actions had not yet been discovered, and this time the old immortal smiling tiger came here just to shock himself.
The Führer nodded, glanced disdainfully in the direction of the church in the distance, and instantly unfolded a dark red circle with complex patterns in front of him, blocking a silver arrow of light that shot at him.
"It's really accurate...... It's time for me to go back, the Senate can't do without me right now. I hope that our cooperation can be long-lived, at least I don't want to see a talented person too short-lived. As he spoke, the Führer's figure faded into the shadows of the night, and after a moment even his breath could not be felt.
The King of Earth understood why the Führer was in such a hurry to return.
Two years ago, in the war, which was later known as the "Night of Sacrifice", the Führer led an army to attack St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, and although he was only a millimeter away from seizing the sleeping Crucifixion Sacred Artifact, he finally died on the battlefield due to the recurrence of old wounds. And since then, this seemingly powerful head has become a strong man, and if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to negotiate with the king of the earth who is a demon with his pride.
However, as he said, the relationship between the king of the earth and him is pure mutual use, and it will make people feel ridiculous to talk about righteousness.
Calming the irritable magic in his body, a pair of incomplete black twin swords were condensed and refined by the King of the Earth, floating in front of him along with the fragments that seemed to belong to the sword body, and the texture like black crystal made people feel the urge to put it down, "It's still a while before it can be recovered...... As long as the soul is restored, there is no need to rely on black magic anymore. ”
The King of Earth sighed, carefully put away the remnant blade, and immediately looked at the starry sky and muttered, "It's been two years, Father." ”
