Chapter 2: The First Cry
Shangri-La's city defenses are among the most heavily guarded in the Free Metropolitan Area, especially in the past when the Qinglou Alliance was in power, and it was notoriously loose on the outside and inside, operating a fairly meticulous patrol network under the seemingly peaceful and loose security to prevent criminals from easily invading the city.
Helplessly, in the past two days of continuous destruction and commotion, even the mayor's mansion has been razed to the ground, and the security in the city has been affected to some extent, so when Ailing and Youxue quickly entered the city from the air, there was no extra manpower to pay attention to them.
In such a situation, the Tianxin consciousness of the heavenly martial artists has become a blind spot, because unless special attention is paid to, under normal circumstances, the Tianxin consciousness will not warn about the energy of non-heaven and earth vitality, so the martial artists in Shangri-La City did not find that they went out of the city and entered the city like this, only a few trigger-type protective devices, and issued a sparse attack on the sky, which was swept away by Ailing's casual counterattack.
"Hey, I don't really want to instigate, but no matter how strong a weapon is, it must be used high enough to exert its power, you have never received combat training, how can you fight the enemy?"
The strong wind whistled in his ears, and the sternum, which had not yet fully healed, reminded his master of the pain again, but the Sheter still couldn't help but chatter about his personality and asked questions of his precious and only comrade-in-arms.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, the T1000 itself is very fast, so I can close the distance with any enemy, strafe and bombard from a distance, and if I am really forced to fight in close combat, I have also designed a few simulated personalities that will automatically take over the battle. ”
"Mock personality?"
"Yes, there are Senior Brother Lancelot, Mr. Bai Qi, and Mr. Mo Wen! It's a pity that the information collection is not complete, otherwise you can use the combat mode of Mr. Iron-masked Ladyboy. ”
It seems to be "polluted" by Nier, even Ailing, who has never confronted Gongjin, naturally uses this unrealistic dirty name, but what Yuxue cares about is not this, but what kind of ghost thing that simulates personality.
(God damn it, who is not good to use, specifically pick out the personality of some perverted murderers to simulate, do you want to wash this city in blood?)
was so suspicious in her heart, but Youxue didn't make a sound defense, but secretly wondered how to steal the infinitely powerful physical destruction gun on her body when this little girl was not paying attention.
However, when Ailing landed silently and quietly came to the hidden place where there was snow hiding Hao Kelian, the two repeatedly couldn't find Hao Kelian's traces, only to see a pool of dried blood on the ground, nothing else, Youxue was anxious, running around looking for it, and Ailing in the mechanical armor turned on the special screen on the mask, magnified the scene in front of him a thousand times, and used the electronic system to conduct precise analysis and search.
With the technical assistance of the Alcatraz headquarters, T1000's database contains a lot of information that even Ailing doesn't know how to use, and the characteristics of the world's heavenly martial artists and the nature of martial arts are all recorded, as long as they are compared with the footsteps left at the scene and the residual fluctuations in the atmosphere, you can find out who has been here.
"Blood stains on the floor, scanned and confirmed, liquid molecules on the wall, analysis and processing......"
The faint traces are not only difficult to see with the naked eye of mortals, even a heavenly martial artist cannot see such a huge detail, although Ailing did not move a single step after entering, but the information she got was more than the snow that was found all over the house. After identification, the blood stains on the ground and the sweat stains on the wall all have a slight but complex poison reaction, coupled with a unique genetic chain, it can be confirmed that Hao Kelian has stayed here and did not die in this place, and it is likely that someone took him away;
However, whether it was taken away or robbed, what is the identity of the other party, whether it is friend or foe, Ailing cannot be confirmed, and further investigation is needed. However, Ailing didn't expect that when she was about to tell Youxue what she found, Youxue, who ran back to her, took the initiative to speak.
"It's nerve-wracking, Ah Chun seems to have been taken away. ”
"yes, I was about to tell you about ......"
"The one who took her...... Well, the martial arts are very high, and it is estimated that there is a heavenly rank that cannot be wrong, and it should not be our people, it is very likely that it is the military of Altinor. ”
"Why, why do you know this? How do you know that? You can't guess about this kind of thing!"
Ailing was really surprised, because there were these inferences of Xue, he could only list them as possible, but he couldn't confirm them at all, his information couldn't be as full as himself, how did he guess this?
"Nonsense, how can I guess, all this is based on real evidence...... Well, the enemy is not only from the Eltino military, but also from the Second Army, with a fairly high rank, and is a colleague of Ah Chun, so there should be no danger...... As for the exact rank......"
Seeing that Youxue said so confidently and calmly, Ailing was about to call out, why was his most proud scientific scan and identification not as good as the red eyes of the Shet? What was wrong? Why did his naked eyes see more information than his own?
"This ...... How is that possible? My precision scan ......"
"It's noisy, what kind of semen scan, can you move your feet away? As soon as you come in, you step on it like an elephant, and you don't move, this badge is about to be trampled on by you, remove your iron feet!"
"I'm sorry...... I didn't notice it at all. ”
Youxue picked up the badge and compared it with the memories she had seen before, confirming that it was the military badge of General Altino. It stands to reason that if the enemy is really a master, there is no reason to leave this thing here, and the only possible reason is that Ah Chun deliberately let him leave it to make himself feel at ease.
With the ingenuity of the Sheters, of course, they know that now is not the time to chase after them. It is not a problem to brazenly continue to rely on the Reyns camp, but in this way, Nier, who is already wary, will restrain her future actions, which is not cost-effective, and there is already an extra safe area next to Hengzhi, so ......
Ailing on the side, is very annoyed for the first frustration since he re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, sure enough, the lighthouse is the darkest place, and he must rewrite the program later, and then put his feet in the scope of search and scanning.
Immediately afterward, the two men began to discuss the direction of their future actions. Ailing's strength is admittedly strong, but he is not clear about the current situation, and Youxue took the initiative to propose, at present, the Tongtian cannon is where all forces must fight, if you want to take the initiative, then you have to get the power device, it just so happens that Ailing is a genius in this regard, this is beyond the reach of all forces, if she can help, then ......
"However, it's nerve-wracking, I heard that the thing is currently hidden in the underground cave of Shangri-La, but I don't know the exact location, the only entrance I know is outside the city, and it seems to be sealed after entering, and I don't know if I can enter it again. ”
"Well, I've heard about this too, so ...... I was prepared when I came. ”
Ailing crossed his left arm, floating a spherical electronic screen on his wrist, his fingers tapped on it, and with the virtual electronic sound, a red point of light quickly moved from the upper left corner of the picture to this side, and when the light point reached the center of the picture, even Youxue heard the once familiar sound.
"Wow, Wow, Wow!"
A loud dog barked, from far to near, and a moment later, a silver puppy, with long red eyes flashing back and forth, and a snowy short tail swaying from side to side, with an almost cheetah-like speed, ran in at once, jumped up, and wagged its tail into the arms of its master.
It seems to be a warm picture, but there is a terrifying crisis hidden, this cute pet rushed into the owner's arms, if there is snow to describe, it is not "pounce", but "hit", and Ailing cuirass instantly made a great sound of gold and iron, if it is an ordinary person without a "physical protection mask" device, it may be so enthusiastic by the dog's pounce, the sternum is shattered, and in an instant through heaven, straight to hell.
"Cappuccino, this is Mr. Yuxue! He used to take good care of you, do you still recognize him?"
"Hey, even if its head doesn't recognize me, its teeth stained with blood from the legs of countless innocent men will remember me. ”
"That'...... That's because of Mr. Xue, you steal people's butts. ”
There will be no result if the conversation continues, Ailing patted his hand on Cappuccino's head, and after a long series of electronic keyboard sounds, a large electronic map three feet square appeared in front of the two people.
"Before I even made my move, I had Cappuccino run around Shangri-La, using ultrasound to probe the ground and underground, and draw a map by the way...... No, do you see this purple point of light? Judging by the sonic response, that's where we're going. ”
※※※
The commotion in the mayor's mansion also shook the Reyns Qinglou Alliance in the post house, but now they were so anxious that they couldn't take care of the unexpected commotion anymore.
"It's a strange shockwave, although it is powerful, but it does not have the fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and it is not caused by the power of the heavens, is it ...... What kind of fire yao bomb?"
Although the martial arts could not be used, Hai Jiaxuan did not lose the perception ability of Tianxin consciousness, and the explosion that occurred in the mayor's mansion was the first one among all of them to sense, and he even wondered about it, because this explosion did not come from any smell of smoke and gunpowder.
"What do you mean by bomb? The one outside? Or the shell that just dropped the bomb on us?"
A few hours ago, Niel was deeply troubled by something. From the maidservant's mouth, she knew that Izumi had heard everything when she had quarreled with the hateful Shet, and the mere thought of what the Sheter had said was nerve-wracking.
“...... The Shet's mouth has always been very cheap, and sometimes he doesn't mean that, but in order to win others, he will say something very unbelievable...... That's it from the time when everyone was still mixing bandits...... The problem is, people don't know, and it's sad to hear it......"
"Yo, I can't see that this girl of yours is still full of compassion, it's really unseemly!"
"What nonsense, this girl is very gentle, but you blind boy doesn't know how to appreciate it. ”
Putting aside the urge to talk back, Hai Jiaxuan was really a little surprised, I heard that in the Reyns camp, this girl has always been known for her arrogance and arrogance, and his impression of getting along with her is indeed that she is rude and unwritten to the extreme, but ...... In the past two days, I have slowly discovered that this girl has her gentle and kind side, and from a certain point of view, she is far more innocent than herself.
Maybe...... It was Gengoro's efforts that kept her soul from being soiled by the filth after stepping into the heavenly world!
"Hey, don't you know her well......? You're going to persuade her, right?"
"Why am I...... Well, yes, but you have to promise to answer me a few things first. ”
Hai Jiaxuan, who originally wanted to refuse, suddenly changed his mind, because he usually had a bad relationship with Nier, and she mostly ignored the questioning, so he had to take advantage of this time to blackmail the news.
"Hmm...... In addition to the measurements and age, the rest can be asked. ”
"Who wants to know that kind of thing? I'm going to ask you, how did Gengoro teach you martial arts in the past?"
"My martial arts were taught by my brother, and Xiao Wu just helped me strengthen my training. ”
"Whatever, anyway, tell me how you and him practiced martial arts. ”
How exactly do you practice and practice, this should be a rather confidential question, Hai Jiaxuan asked like this, Nier felt a little skeptical, but when Hai Jiaxuan said that if she couldn't understand these processes, then she couldn't figure out how to help her recover martial arts, and Nier had to compromise.
"There is nothing special, Xiao Wu said that although the power of the Heavenly Demon Skill is strong, it is not a royal martial arts. On the Continent of Wind, the Martial Arts Authentic Sect is still the White Deer Cave after all, so ......"
"Well, well, it sounds like human words, I thought this kid was arrogant, except for his two-handed Xiaotian Star Finger and Hoshino Tianhe Sword, he didn't look at other martial arts in his eyes, and he didn't think that he was quite honest when he taught you, and he knew what martial arts were right...... Huh, how could he be so kind?"
Hai Jiaxuan, who had been supporting his shoulders with his hands and nodding frequently when he heard it, suddenly frowned and asked the details of Yuan Goro's teaching. Nier told the truth one by one, from how Gengoro instructed himself in the major masteries of the White Deer Cave, familiarized himself with the characteristics, and repeatedly tried to find weaknesses and do actual combat exercises, all of which were told to Haijiaxuan without reservation.
"Muddy, muddy...... I already knew that this kid had evil intentions, and sure enough, he had another premeditated plan...... I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him......"
While listening to Nier's narration, Hai Jiaxuan's face was like poisoning, getting darker and darker, and his fists were clenched even tighter. Nier didn't know what the grudge between the two fellow villagers and friends was, shrugged her shoulders, and continued to finish speaking, especially when it came to Gengoro's use of the White Deer Cave martial arts, and when she wanted to treat him as an imaginary enemy, attack with all her strength and find a fatal flaw, Hai Jiaxuan's palm that couldn't stop looking at it really looked like it was unconsciously pinching someone's throat.
"Xiao Wu said, Bailu Cave is our mortal enemy, sooner or later we will meet the old turtle of Lu You and the big demon in the iron mask, so we must especially study the enemy's martial arts...... Alas, who knew that Lu You's old turtle would burp and go to hell so soon, and only that iron-masked shemale was left, so he wouldn't have spent so much time practicing if he had known......"
"My damn ...... This little white face actually dared to talk about the length of the person behind his back, and he also used the most taboo animal...... I'm going to castrate him, I'm going to castrate him......"
If it weren't for Nier who pulled people in time, it seemed that Hai Jiaxuan, who had forgotten his reason in anger, would really rush out of the door like this.
After using brute force to drag him back and remind him of the original purpose of the two discussions, Hai Jiaxuan calmed down, and even asked Nier a few questions about qi guidance, and after asking, even Nier herself was very surprised, because Hai Jiaxuan preemptively said a few sets of practice mantras, which were all Yuangoro wanted to practice repeatedly by himself, but he never used it in actual combat, and now he doesn't know what to do with the internal skills, but because he taught too much, he forgot to confirm it, and he just practiced it repeatedly whenever he had time.
"Strange, how do you know these mental techniques? Xiao Wu said that this was specially designed by him! Or did he deliberately lie to me, what kind of secret martial arts is this in the White Deer Cave? You and he have both studied the martial arts of the White Deer Cave, so you know this?"
Nier's self-righteous inference was not immediately confirmed, because Hai Jiaxuan just looked at her with a very strange look, looked her up and down a few more times, touched her chin, and muttered: "I really don't understand, what's so good about you little girl...... You can actually fascinate that kid and leave everything good to you......"
This sentence was said strangely, and Nier was about to ask questions, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and Hai Jiaxuan opened the door and left without saying a word.
"Hey, wait, didn't you say you were going to help me restore my martial arts?
Nier, who was anxious, grabbed Haijiaxuan's collar from behind, and before she could speak again, she saw that it was dark outside the door, and a bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and it turned out that it was already night. But the strange thing is that the moonlight shines on the body, and there is a very peculiar fluctuation that begins to flow in the body......
"I didn't fail to do what I promised, you should feel a little bit by now, and your true qi is starting to return to work, right?"
Hai Jiaxuan was telling the truth. From the moment she was illuminated by the moonlight, Nier felt her whole body tremble, and the true qi that had disappeared without a trace quickly appeared in her body.
(Strange, it's not magical, why is it ...... when it is illuminated by moonlight.) )
Before this surprised question could be asked, Hai Jiaxuan had already left, and on the way he asked the maid to understand the direction of the commotion, and walked over there.
Nier caught up from behind and learned that the reason for the commotion was because Izumi Sakura was invited by the maid group to start preparing for the upcoming concert.
"Although the people are different, but they are releasing Leng Mengxue's new song, no wonder they are in such a hurry, I can understand this!" Nier frowned, "But why did you choose to sing at such a time?"
"Oh, you don't understand this, when people are in a bad mood, singing can relax their emotions, we had an old friend back then, very good at doing some machinery or something, every time I am in a bad mood, I like to sing to vent, and there is a very special name, called karaoke. ”
The current Hai Jiaxuan has no internal strength and is small, but Nier is chasing after her with ordinary speed, and she can't catch up. After taking a closer look, I found that the soles of his feet were stepping on some kind of strange footwork, and I couldn't help but secretly admire that this person was indeed very knowledgeable.
"Hey, the surname is Hai, looking at your half-grown appearance, why did you have the same back then?"
“...... A quarter of an hour has passed, have you ever been?"
"With this kind of algorithm, of course there are!"
"You can have a time, why can't I have a time?"
As soon as they opened the door, they realized that the room was not right, and before they could realize that they should react, they both fell down and lost consciousness together......
※※※
"Mr. Yuxue, you said that you were here a few days ago, did that change your feelings?"
"God knows, it was as dark as this day, so how could I see that something had changed? At best, I was lucky enough not to run into my husband and grandmother's tour group today. ”
"Tours?"
Beneath Shangri-La, another independent team, which should have belonged to the Reyns camp, is working on their expedition.
With the increasing threat of the Babel Cannon, this cave, which has a great deal to do with the Babel Cannon, has also become a battleground for all forces, however, no one side has yet succeeded in exploring anything here.
Ailing single-handedly, as soon as she arrived in Shangri-La, she decided to explore the cave alone, not only because it was a bold performance of the artist, but also because she got some information from Hua Bian Que. And now, she also shares these messages with Youxue.
"What? You mean, this thing under Shangri-La is an underground palace, a hall of trials?"
"Well, that's what Sister Hua said in her hand. It seems that in ancient times, the gods specially built a place in order to train the brave who had the intention to inherit the power of justice, which was both deep and vast, not only infested with many giant monsters, but also the deeper you go, the more you will encounter some dangerous traps and curses, using these traps and tests, you can train strong warriors. ”
Shangri-La's location, in terms of space and geography, is the central point of the energy confluence of the entire Wind Continent, and it is indeed possible to create a brave man with strong force by using this energy and hard training, but Yuxue is skeptical about this.
"Go, no wonder there were so few brave people in ancient times, and they were killed by these ghost things before they even debuted, are you sure that this underground palace was not built by some evil organization?"
"Uh...... It was because of such an unexpected side effect that the dungeon was later closed by the gods and no longer in use, and the entrance was completely sealed, and only those who held the key could enter. ”
"What key?"
Ailing didn't answer this, and Youxue didn't ask much. However, it is indeed quite safe to follow this girl through the level, her T1000 armor is more powerful than she thought at the beginning, and she can't even guess how many secret functions are hidden in this armor.
Just detection,It doesn't seem to lose to Tianxin consciousness.,From the two of them entered the cave together.,Every time a monster appears.,Before the monster actually appeared to attack.,Ailing has already noticed it.,Palm raised.,I didn't see how she moved.,It's just a shot out.。
The power of the Physical Honkai Gun was really terrifying, and when it hit, not only did those giant insects disappear instantly, but even the rocks dozens of feet in a radius next to it evaporated without a trace. What's even more powerful is that those strange insects should have disappeared without a trace and haunted uncertainly, but Ailing seemed to be able to detect even their virtual bodies, and at the moment when they turned from virtual to real, they attacked first.
As a result, the two of them drove straight into the road without any problems, and although the giant worms were in charge along the way, they did not hinder them at all, but ......
"Hey, girl, it's good to have an indomitable spirit, but you don't leave any way back, and everywhere we pass, all the stones are buried, so how are we going to get out then?"
"Ah, don't worry about that little thing! just blast it out with the Physical Honkai Gun again. ”
"Anyway, we are all under Shangri-La, you bang and bang like this, and you hollow out the whole foundation, if Shangri-La sinks completely, then you are the number one sinner. ”
Youxue was really worried, but another voice was obviously much calmer.
"It's very interesting, after many years, the bloodline of Long Beethoven is still so bold and fearless, no wonder the old man Huang Taiji spent a lot of energy and traveled thousands of miles to the free city to pass on his life's research skills. ”
