Chapter 154 Confrontation Again
Looking at their appearance, they didn't seem to know that the head of the Five Elements Organ had been destroyed, but in fact, Venerable Huyan didn't want to hide this information from them, after all, Qiao Cang Sakura was about to arrive, and they had to know the current situation of the imperial capital sooner or later.
But the sentence just now that there was no comment made Venerable Huyan have to care. If they don't answer their questions, but they are too enthusiastic about their questions, wouldn't they feel inferior and have lost the initiative?
also knew that Venerable Huyan's words were against his previous answer, Qiao Cangxi chuckled lightly and raised his hand to pat Qiao Cangyuji's arm, shook his head slightly, turned to look at Venerable Huyan and smiled slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, we won't ask more." Then there is Lao Ming to lead the way, after all, as you can see. ”
Venerable Huyan nodded after hearing this, and then arranged for Ming to take them to apply for a place to rest.
In the office, Hayato had just flown back from Song Chengjie's side, and before he even had time to sit down and rest for a while, he had to continue to be busy arranging accommodation for them, because he was the first foreign team to arrive in Hongchuan, and he was the initiator of this conference, and it took a lot of effort to arrange for them.
"It's finally done. Really, thanks to them, I didn't carry out any official business today, and I have to stay up late again if I continue like this. Slumped in his chair, Hayato took a long breath and shoved his cherished cigar into his mouth from the dark box in his desk drawer, exhaling a long column of smoke with great enjoyment, "Ah...... It's good that the sigh of the wind isn't here. ”
Listening to his complaints in the office, Ming Ming, who casually sorted the piles of copywriting, smiled softly, and asked without looking back: "That machine spirit is very strong, even if she is not here now, you can't hide the fact that you smoked in this room when she comes back." ”
I've only seen it a few times though. But after all, Ming is a heaven and earth spirit, and he can see the sigh of the wind as an instrument spirit quite thoroughly, so he understands that even if Hayato secretly satisfies his cravings like this, he will inevitably be criticized by the sigh of the wind in the end. But then again, it's really interesting, she should have existed for eternity, but she didn't expect to be so sensitive to tobacco.
I also thought about it, and after a while, the sigh of the wind would come back, and I would definitely have to search again, and then continue to arrange the cleaning technique even harder. Hayato couldn't help but sigh, leaned forward and lay down on the table, "Can't you comfort me...... By the way, what do you think of the new group of people?"
"What do you think? The movements in his hands paused slightly, and he couldn't describe them in any other words, "The level of these onmyoji is not low, and with such a team at one time, the real leader of them who has not yet shown up will definitely not come simply for a meeting." And their breath is a little strange, which makes people have a very subtle feeling of dislike. ”
"Exactly. Song Chengjie and I thought the same way. After that, the safety of Venerable Huyan will depend on you, after all, we people can't protect him all the time. Lying on the table and continuing to smoke as if it didn't matter to himself, Hayabusa had a feeling that he had become more open-minded, and I was afraid that the sigh of the wind on weekdays also made him very uncomfortable, "As for their strange atmosphere, I also feel something." If it's convenient, can you try to figure out what that strange feeling is all about?"
The copywriter in his hand was gently put down, and Min slowly got up and nodded. Looking at Hayato, he said, "You don't need to say much about this. After all, I am his Shikigami, and it is my duty to eliminate factors that affect his safety. It's just that I'm afraid that I will have less contact with them. You still don't expect any information from me to bring you about that breath. ”
"It's okay to have your words, it's more convenient for me to get the information myself. Taking a deep breath of long-lost taste, Hayato suddenly felt a lot more relieved after listening to Ming's words, "In the next period of time, the content of the work will have to be changed. Speaking of which, I hate working overtime. ”
Hayato is different from ordinary exorcists, after all, he was still a mid-level and high-level teacher of Onmyojuku when he came to the Shield of Justice. I also have a certain understanding of the qi on people.,That's why I feel that this group of people should not only be regarded as Qiao Cang Sakura's forces.,But also be on guard against what other storms they will set off.。
What needs to be guarded against is not only the safety of Venerable Huyan, but also some of Hongchuan's current affairs, such as the Houtu system. For example, the exorcist's recruitment work must avoid possible attacks and intelligence theft from the other party, and even the general public's opinion of Song Chengjie also needs to be controlled by intelligence, after all, even Hayato can't guarantee that they won't take the opportunity of the exorcist conference to make any decisions against Song Chengjie.
"Those things aren't on my mind. Throwing the almost classified copy in his hand onto Falto's desk, Min raised his hand and waved his sword finger to extinguish Hayato's cigar, and turned around and walked towards the door as he spoke, "I won't stay long, to be honest, I'm not with that kid for a while now, and I feel uneasy for a while." Don't smoke your cigarettes here, you really can't help but go outside, these copywriters are extremely important, and the sigh of the wind should also be worried about some low-level accidents. Otherwise, do you really think that some smoke smell can escape her control of the wind? ”
Stunned as he watched Min leave the office, Hayato smiled helplessly and put away half of his cigar. Don't look at Ming, he has only been here for two days, but I have to admit that his understanding of the sigh of the wind may be deeper than himself.
On the other side, with the cooperation of Song Chengjie and the three of them, Lao Xi's camp has been reorganized, although he only helped clean up the gravel and collapsed bunker blocking the road, but it is such an ordinary thing that makes Song Chengjie's favorability in the hearts of these people double.
"That's a great help, if we were to get these things ourselves, I'm afraid it wouldn't have taken a few days. Sticking the shovel in his hand on the ground, Lao Xi raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and looked at the releveled road, and couldn't help but sigh, "The technique is really a convenient thing, and I always feel a lot more comfortable with you exorcists." ”
"Praise it. While smiling slightly, he lightly lifted a piece of broken wall with the wind and slowly threw it into the ruins in the distance, Song Chengjie exhaled lightly. But my heart is truly happy.
Although these people all came to live here because they hated exorcists, Song Chengjie found out through the experience of this meeting that many of them hated exorcists in a daze when they didn't know what kind of existence exorcists were.
Looking at Hei Yao, who was taking care of the wounded, and the sigh of the wind playing with the children, the eyes of the survivors in this camp became more and more softened, and it was only at this time that Song Chengjie deeply understood. His previous blind repression may have been too extreme, maybe people in other places are similar to people here, just disgusted with themselves in a daze, as long as they do something for them, maybe they can change this attitude.
Thinking like this, Song Chengjie was keenly aware of a hint of hidden killing intent, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark night peeking at its unsuspecting prey. It's just that this killing intent is too familiar to him, and he is so familiar with the other party's next move that he can guess it without using spiritual power at all.
"Come out Lin Ran, you came all the way here from where you live. Is it just to throw a dagger at me? As he spoke, Song Chengjie waved his hand at the old seat, signaling that he didn't have to care about what was about to happen, and as soon as the words fell, he heard a sound of breaking wind, and when he turned around suddenly, he raised his fingers and grabbed a slightly trembling dagger, "It's the same as yesterday, and it's even worse than yesterday." When you don't have good physical strength, you have to think about new ways to attack, don't be brutal, know that every exorcist is a valuable resource for the organization, you know. ”
"Of course I do!"
A familiar voice came from behind the ruins. Song Chengjie was just about to go over and return the dagger, but suddenly found that the shape of the dagger was much more complicated than yesterday. The thickest part of the center was completely hollowed out like a tuning fork, and many fine lines were carved on the blades on both sides, like snake bones. Not only that, but there was also an extra thin line on the hilt, an extremely thin line like a fishing line, which stretched all the way behind the ruins.
"This kid. The brain is quite alive!"
The moment he stopped, Song Chengjie suddenly threw the dagger out, and almost at the same time, an electric current suddenly rushed from behind the ruins along the thin line, although Song Chengjie had already thrown the dagger away, but when the current poured into the tuning fork-shaped dagger, the current that was directed into both ends suddenly burst out of a scene of electric light. It exploded in front of him like a flashbang.
The blades that had been carved one by one burst instantly under the action of external force, and the fine pieces of metal rushed towards Song Chengjie like shrapnel. But Song Chengjie understands that this is far from Lin Ran's real killer move, after all, he has "fought" with himself many times, and he understands that this thing alone can't hurt himself.
Sure enough, just as his vision was flashed snow-white by the bursting arc, the sound of subtle but rapid footsteps also came from behind the ruins, and the timing was almost perfect.
A gentle wind slowly rose around his body, instantly taking everything around him into his mind, but what Song Chengjie didn't expect was that during the time when his vision was affected, Lin Ran had already deceived and approached, and two daggers, one long and one short, in his two hands were like predators' claws.
"I take back the preface, boy, you have made great progress today!" The corners of his mouth grinned heartily, Song Chengjie waved his arms in front of the two daggers, and the two arm thorns instantly summoned a ding, blocking the sudden attack, and then his arm leaned forward, and then he picked it up, only to hear two soft sounds and let Lin Ran's dagger get out of his hand.
Puff sat on the ground, looking at the sharp blade of the Holy Wind Thorn pointed in front of him, Lin Ran snorted lightly and stepped back, got up and slapped the dust and trotted all the way over to recover his two daggers, and made a grimace at Song Chengjie, who was standing in place and smiling: "I will never miss next time!"
Startled by the brief battle that happened in front of him, Lao Xi looked at Song Chengjie with a puzzled expression: "This is?"
"My ...... My teacher's students. Smiling slightly, Song Chengjie removed his arm thorn, scratched his head and added, "Although I forced it into the teacher." ”
However, Lin Ran himself seemed to be very dissatisfied with this explanation, and walked a few steps between the two to look at Lao Xi and point to himself, and said loudly: "I am Lin Ran, and I will kill this guy one day!"
The voice of this was not loud, but at least many people around heard it. They all stopped what they were doing, their eyes were very nervous and roamed between the two, it was rumored that Song Chengjie was a demon who killed people without blinking, in the face of such a thing that could almost be regarded as a blatant provocation, would he go on a killing spree?
Some people began to pray for Lin Ran secretly, and some people sighed thinking that his life was short. But what everyone didn't expect was that Song Chengjie smiled even more happily after hearing this, and he looked at Lin Ran condescendingly with a childish look of "just by you", just a provocative word.
"You, you, you bully people, I'll tell Mu Feng to go!" Lin Ran knew that today's assassination would end in failure, not only that, but he was so underestimated by the other party in front of the public, but he was really helpless, and for a while, his eyes were clouded with anger, and he ran away away with a shout.
was amused by Lin Ran in front of him and laughed for a while, Song Chengjie remembered that he seemed to be a bit of a bully, and he straightened up and wiped the tears that came out of his laughter and cleared his throat: "Ahem, this, what should everyone do, let's kill it, child, don't laugh at him." ”
Lao Xi looked at him with a shocked face, and said in his heart Who is laughing at that kid, obviously he was scared by you, okay: "Is he really a student that you forced into your teacher?"
"Not yet. Taking off the fragment of the dagger that was used as shrapnel from his robe, Song Chengjie's words suddenly revealed an inexplicable sadness, "He still can't accept us, even if it's for revenge, there is no way for him to accept our guidance calmly." If he had followed the teacher these days, the attack just now would have given me at least some bruises. ”
There is no doubt that his vision of seeing people is not bad, Lin Ran has a very good grasp of the timing and method of attacking, it can be said that he is a natural combat expert. But this alone is not enough to see in the post-war present, and without the right guidance, sooner or later he will waste his talent.
Scattering the crowd of onlookers lightly, Song Chengjie once again devoted himself to cleaning up the ruins of the camp, but his mind was no longer here...... (To be continued.) )
