December 3, 568 of the Altino calendar, Shangri-La, the free city

As night falls, the bustling night of Shangri-La gradually rises to its peak. Somewhat different from the usual nights, tonight's Shangri-La was even more lively, and Leng Mengxue's concert ignited the lively atmosphere of the whole city to a peak.

While the concert is going on, a sea of flags of all kinds flutters and colorful fireworks rush into the sky, and people use this festival to express their praise for the prosperity of the moment and their deep hope for such peace in the coming year.

Grand celebrations are often an opportunity for the city's major businesses to show their strength. Simply emitting fireworks and putting hundreds or thousands of guns on the battlefield, although this can show off its financial resources, but some really big businesses have invited master craftsmen to carefully produce unique special fireworks.

The fireworks soar into the air, flashing a dazzling snake flame, drawing all kinds of beautiful patterns in the sky, writing the imprint of the business logo, or directly several fireworks explode in a row, revealing the words of congratulations. The various arrangements are intriguing, and because of this, the citizens did not realize that there have been several fierce battles in the sky above Shangri-La.

There were bursts of dazzling fire flashing in the air, as if a volcano erupted, and the blazing flames erupted in all directions, making the whole sky as bright as day in an instant, this strange scene, in the eyes of the citizens, only thought that this was a special fireworks of a certain big store;

"However, this year's fireworks ...... The wind seems to be a little stronger. ”

"That's also a special effect, even crushed ice, what's the point if it's windy?"

Perhaps it was because of the fact that they were born in the wizarding world that made it easy for people to accept these unusual features, because as long as you think of which big chamber of commerce might have asked the Magus to make special fireworks, then these strange effects are not surprising at all.

To be able to perceive the changes in the celestial phenomena and the strong winds formed by the shock waves, what information does it represent, then there are only the many celestial martial artists currently in the city. Although Shangri-La is not a poor country, at the same time, it actually accommodated so many heavenly warriors, this number should break the historical record.

Regarded by the whole world as a source of turmoil, these celestial warriors stay in Shangri-La, of course, not just eat and sleep. Most of them are in a state of fierce fighting, but there are also a few peculiars who are busy carrying out the great task of breaking through the empty door, and there are even two who are singing and listening to songs.

“Mylastnightherewithyou，Maybeyes，Maybeno......”

With the delicate dance steps under her feet, Izumi Sakura's clear and rich sound resounded through the arena of the Dome, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

“HowcanIletyouknow？Iammorethanthedressandvoice......”

The words and phrases used in the song are not the general language of the Wind Continent, but the ancient words of a civilization that has been lost for hundreds of millions of years, and has now become a special language for the study of the primeval demon path. Of course, no one in the audience understood, but it didn't matter.

Because they can't understand the lyrics, people pay extra attention to the melody of the song, the singer's voice and emotions, and that's when the incantation song comes into play. At the moment when people listen attentively and have no time to think about foreign affairs, they combine with people's hearts and minds, and implant the commanding words hidden in the music into people's deep awareness.

Regardless of the special significance of these songs, at least on the surface, the masses are fascinated by the beautiful songs one after another. Since several years ago, Leng Mengxue's dream music has been the salvation of tens of millions of Shangri-La citizens, and tonight, many listeners were moved to tears as soon as they entered the concert venue.

Although tonight's concert is slightly different from the past, in the first half hour of the concert, I don't know whether the lights on the stage are too dazzling and magnificent, or the air flow in the venue is not good, the more than 100,000 listeners in the concert venue, none of them are not dizzy and want to vomit, even if there are a few people who are more determined and can support hard, they are all in the endurance of a quarter of an hour, the strong vomiting yu hope is put into practice...... This is really not an easy task, because even with a strong heavenly level cultivation, Gengoro and Haijiaxuan can't even support it for half an hour.

The organizers are prepared for this situation, except that the front seat has already placed thick paper bags, and every quarter of an hour there will be a special service team, quickly and quietly take away the paper bags, and replace them with new paper bags, each waiter has brought earplugs, the action is fast and polite, without their efforts, this concert will definitely end in a nightmare.

Heaven is still merciful to human beings, because miracles will always appear at the right time when people need them most.

At the end of the first half hour of the concert, those loyal listeners who suffered from severe dizziness felt that the dizziness in their bodies gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an indescribable sweet feeling in their brains.

So, contrary to the strange silence and intermittent vomiting sound of the first half hour, the concert hall was covered by the cheers and applause of the tide, and when the song changed from slow to fast and turned into fast-paced dance music, most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the venue stood up, swayed their bodies from their seats, and danced lightly with the beautiful melody.

And although she has long been accustomed to commanding others and giving orders to the team, she has become the focus of more than 100,000 people at one time, and has been pinned on their expectations, trust, ideals, and lives, Izumi Sakura still feels a huge pressure, but in the face of this pressure, her spirit not only did not flinch, but became more high-spirited, which once again made her realize that she was indeed very good at standing in the position of control, because the feeling of standing on the stage tonight was unprecedented in life.

If one factor is excluded, tonight's feast can be said to be perfect.

The reason why Izumi Sakura always felt a thorn in her back was that a VIP sitting in the front row of the concert hall was also a man who should not be here, the current supreme power of Shangri-La, Mayor Shi Chong.

At the beginning of the concert, Quan Ying was really startled when she saw Shi Chongduan sitting in the front row of the concert, and the seats in the surrounding row were occupied by him alone, and when there was no one else. Because according to the original estimate, Shi Chong's manpower was tight, and when Dolgon personally went to the battlefield to contain Gengoro and Haijiaxuan, Shi Chong himself should rush to the bottom of Shangri-La and go to a date with Yuxue.

In that case, why did Shi Chong appear here, listening to the song as if he was very relaxed, could it be that he was really so sure about the evolution of the situation in the cave?

As soon as she thought of this, Izumi Sakura felt uneasy, she didn't think that Shi Chong would give up on seizing the Babel Cannon, then, Shi Chong himself would appear here, it meant that he had other arrangements for the situation in the cave, and this was not his own prediction, would Ni'er be in danger when she went underground alone?

The ominous feeling of being separated from Nier makes it difficult for Izumi Sakura to let go, and she has an urge to leave the concert and go straight to Shangri-La's underground to help Nier. However, this thought was only fleeting, and it was quickly suppressed by reason, because Izumi Sakura thought that before they left for each other today, Gengoro and Kaijiaxuan looked really very sure.

Neither of these two people is the kind of person who gets carried away, and they will be so confident, presumably quite arranged for the whole situation. I have always felt that my plan this time has been overlooked, and if there is any unexpected situation, it may not be able to deal with it smoothly, but if Gengoro is as resourceful as he trusts, then will they have any other ideas that they haven't told them?

This is not impossible, in fact, the phrase "deceive yourself first, and then deceive the enemy" is said to have become the combat style of Reyns's side, and in the discussion, he also found out that Gengoro and Kaijiaxuan are ...... In particular, Hai Jiaxuan has the idea of discriminating against young people, believing that he and Nier are not yet able to take on the overall situation, so if the two of them have any secret plans to implement, it is not impossible.

Two days ago, I vaguely heard them mention that they suspected Shi Chong's demon background, thinking that his true identity might be a demon who came to the human world to make trouble, and he and Dolgon were also allied in the demon world, so he would definitely not come alone. How many demons are there who came to the human realm with him, and how can he lure them out?

As long as we think about it in this direction, it is not difficult to understand what Gengoro wants to do, but this style of always deceiving one's own people first is really not something that makes people happy! I respect the two of them, and I can understand and understand this kind of practice! However, will Nier's side be so easy to talk to? If Shi Chong's henchmen are really lured out, there are many of them, and their martial arts are strong, then how much anger will Ni'er have when she faces these demons alone? Depending on the severity of the plot...... Maybe someone has to become a disabled person.

“...... Thank you all and we'll see you later!"

When this dance song came to an end, Izumi Sakura followed the dance posture and raised her hands as if flying, and her elegant and energetic beautiful movements once again caused a wave of applause.

The break in the middle of the game is not needed at all for the Heavenly Rank Martial Artist. The concert was too easy for a little bit of exercise than any actual battle, but Izumi still waved her hand at the audience and walked backstage.

She had a hunch that as long as she came backstage, then maybe it would be like fishing with bait, and some people would follow her.

The smart woman rarely made a mistake, and just as Izumi Sakura was changing her costume backstage, she had just drunk a glass of water to moisten her throat and was ready to perform the next round of singing, the staff hurriedly ran to report.

"Mayor Shi Chong came to visit and congratulate. ”

※※※

In Shangri-La City, outside the city, in the heavens and the world, there are many Heavenly Rank Martial Artists who are busy fighting, but there are also many Heavenly Rank Martial Artists who are busy with other affairs, among them is a young girl, although she does not have the power of Heavenly Rank, but her force is something that no master dares to despise.

With the T1000's visual light blocking function turned on, Ailing ran at high speed in Shangri-La City, heading towards Shi Chong's mayor's residence.

At this moment, all the masters on Shi Chong's side are no longer there, rushing to their respective battlefields, if this mayor's mansion and other undefended places are completely empty, when Ailing sneaks in with the hiding function of T1000 and moves at high speed, no one here will find her existence at all.

And the reason why she came here was for a rather dishonorable reason: to be a thief who broke through the door.

Even a fool can see that Shi Chong's official residence must be empty today, no matter whether he wants to steal or rob, there is no better chance than tonight. The idea didn't come from Ailing's head, but from the Sheters who conspired with her.

Particularly sensitive to this kind of opportunity to steal chickens and dogs, Youxue asked Ailing to send a letter to Shi Chong, and at the same time, she also discussed with her this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. While Shi Chong's master went to the cave and captured the Tongtian Cannon, Ailing also infiltrated the mayor's mansion to steal, no matter the enemy and us, he must not have thought of this plan, because of this, this somewhat risky strategy has the value of implementation.

As for what Ailing vowed to get his hands on, it was the overall blueprint of the Tongtian Cannon. I had heard that Senior Brother Zhu Yan handed over this thing to Shi Chong, so the thing should be hidden on Shi Chong's side.

"Such an important thing, Shi Chong can't send it elsewhere, and he won't rest assured that he will hand it over to others for safekeeping, either hide it in the mayor's mansion, or carry it with him. So our approach is also very simple, you go directly to the mayor's mansion to search, if you can't find it, first burn the mansion to the ground, and then work with everyone to beat Shi Chong, check the things on his body, if you can't find it, then kill people and kill people, one by one, clean and neat. ”

Youxue's strategy made Ailing dumbfounded at the time. She really couldn't imagine that there was another such plan behind Mr. Sheter's appointment, is this what humans call a plan?

"I don't like to say this, because those smart people who say that they are planning and planning all day long often inexplicably plan into other people's plans, and they die in a daze. ”

Having said that, this stealing chickens and dogs also has a positive significance, with the high danger of the Tongtian Cannon, it is already troublesome enough for Gong Jin to hold it alone, and there is really no need to make another Shi Chong. If there is a situation where two heavenly cannons bombard, if that kind of scene really appears, it will be the end of the world, so even if Shi Chong only has an incomplete design plan in his hand, he must deprive this possibility as soon as possible.

"Moreover, this is also to buy insurance, if you don't make a little credit, how will you be a person when you go back to Reyns in the future?"

Youxue's last sentence added, it really moved Ailing to the point that he couldn't do it, it turned out that this Xuete man was also thinking about his companions, so it was not in vain that he ran around for him, encountered so many dangers, and almost lost his life.

At that time, Ailing, who was moved to the moist eyes, did not notice at all that there was snow on the other side of the stone wall, and his body was already scarred, and he had always been in the final state of "a man is about to die, and his words are also good", but he told himself very strongly that he could not live up to Mr. Xueterren's entrustment and trust, and he must do things well.

Therefore, from the beginning of this night's date, Ailing hid outside the cave, although she couldn't wait for Shi Chong to appear, which made the girl very worried, but responsibility is responsibility, and when Nier entered the cave, Ailing immediately set off to the mayor's mansion.

If Eling had remained in the cave and fought side by side with Niel, the price that the enemy would have paid would have been much heavier than it is now, but Eling certainly didn't know this, and was just very focused on running around the various buildings in the mayor's mansion to find his target.

It is undoubtedly a fool's dream for a person to rummage through boxes and cabinets in so many buildings and buildings, looking for a blueprint that does not know whether it exists, even if it is a strong sense of heaven, it is impossible to complete this kind of task, but Ailing can.

T1000 has many unbelievable functions, in terms of the practicality of the task, even better than the Tianxin consciousness, which can quickly and without a trace to scan objects within a certain range, if it is confirmed that it is paper, it will start to quickly scan the content to confirm whether it is a target object. This process takes time, but the last time Ailing infiltrated this place to deliver the letter, he had already taken advantage of the opportunity to scan one-third of the area, and now he only needs to deal with the remaining two-thirds, especially those areas that may have hidden masters before and are inconvenient to search.

(The old man was right, laziness is the driving force behind civilization, and the scanning function that was specially developed because it was convenient to search for documents in the courtyard is really useful now...... ）

The special function developed by Ailing is quite effective, and in a very short period of time, a third of the area has been searched, but the side effects caused by this special radio wave have had a little impact, and all the guards in the mayor's mansion are wondering, why are the cats and dogs in the neighborhood so sultry tonight?

A small side effect is not a warning, so there is no need to worry about it, and it has not attracted the attention of the guards. Two quarters of an hour after invading the mayor's mansion, Ailing finally made a discovery, and found the blueprint of the structure in a special secret room that was not very inconspicuous.

"Found, found!"

The structural blueprint is not just one, but a volume stacked by more than twenty blueprints, Ailing hurriedly glanced at it, relying on her professional knowledge, she knew that she had found the right thing, in addition to being happy to be able to complete the task safely, she was even happier that she didn't have to set fire to the house as Yuxue said, because she had always been worried that doing so would cause unnecessary casualties.

(But how is it so simple...... ）

Ailing still thinks it's very strange, it stands to reason that something as important as a blueprint should be kept in a more secret place, even if it takes a longer time to find it, or if there are expert guards, this is not surprising, how can it be placed in such a safe? The intelligence data files, gold and silver treasures placed around it seem to be quite valuable, and there are guards patrolling back and forth outside, which can be regarded as heavily guarded, but compared with the importance of the blueprint of the heavenly cannon, it is impossible to say.

With such confusion, Ailing didn't know that this was indeed not the safe place where Shi Chong placed his most important items. As for Shi Chong's secret storage place, due to the last fire incident, his heart was full of pain, this time, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, when someone stole the blueprint, he took another fire and burned the few remaining collections, so he specially placed the things separately.

"Forget it, let him die, take the things away first. ”

Since you have found the blueprint of the structure, then you have to leave first, otherwise you will be discovered, it will be your turn to beat people, no matter what, T1000 self-protection is enough, but it is not enough to compete with the world's heroes, and you don't have the courage to deliberately stay and attract the enemy to fight!

However, just as she gently closed the cabinet and was about to leave, T1000 sent out a warning signal, and followed Ailing to find that something was wrong, and someone stood silently at the door, watching her.

"I thought you might take this opportunity to find the blueprint, but I didn't expect you to come. ”

"Senior brother?"

Ailing exclaimed, revealing definitely not joy, although she and this handsome man had been so close, but since the last unexpected duel, she didn't know how to face this senior brother, was it an enemy or a friend?

The previous experience that Gengoro gave himself was that even in front of his companions, he still couldn't lose his vigilance, let alone a character who was inseparable from friend and foe. Although he didn't say much, Ailing quickly adjusted his position and put on a defensive posture, which ...... Zhu Yan could see it clearly.

"I didn't try to stop you, and I never wanted to hurt you, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Zhu Yan took two steps back and retreated to the door, knowing that it was not appropriate to push Ailing too hard at this time, which made her, who was already panicked, even more frightened, and only showed her sincerity first as if she were treating wild animals.

"I'm very sorry for you when things turned out like that last time, the only thing I want to say is ......"

"Senior brother, I only want to know one thing, what are you going to do with me now?"

Ignoring the kindness of his senior brother, Ailing chose to go straight to the center of the problem, because no matter what the senior brother and sister said, this problem still has to be faced, if he is still the good senior brother who loves him, he shouldn't stop himself at this time, right?

For Zhu Yan, this is the question he is most reluctant to answer, originally according to his thoughts, it is best to explain the previous misunderstanding and then deal with this problem, but obviously the little junior sister has learned from a series of experiences what it means to be dangerous......

"I'm here today to destroy this blueprint, and I don't want this thing to fall into Shi Chong's hands all the time. ”

But the shame is that on his own, he didn't have the ability to find this blueprint in the layers of houses, the little junior sister is really a genius, there is a way to design such a search instrument, he is really far behind, if he didn't find the figure of the little junior sister today, secretly followed behind, and sprinkled with special iron filings on his clothes that can avoid detecting radio waves, then he really doesn't know how to find this design drawing.

But the problem faced now is not easier than finding a design in the mayor's mansion alone, because the little junior sister who has a misunderstanding of herself is most likely unwilling to hand over the blueprint, however, with the personality of the little junior sister, she should be very wary of such a powerful weapon as the Babel Cannon, thinking that this too powerful weapon will eventually destroy the world, and it is not impossible to convince her from such a position.

"I ...... I don't promise. ”

After listening to Zhu Yan's reason, Ailing unusually refused. In her opinion, it is better to burn these dozen blueprints directly, but if the "enemy" asks them to be destroyed, then these blueprints must be beneficial to themselves and unfavorable to the enemy. Your own wisdom cannot judge these things, so the only thing you can do is to desperately bring these blueprints back and hand them over to someone who has the ability to judge to deal with.

A thought is decided, Ailing no longer hesitates, and no longer takes time to stalemate, raise his hand on the shoulder and press, the armor on the chest opens a gap, after stuffing the blueprint into the chest, the armor is immediately restored, intact as before, if someone wants to grab the blueprint, can only beat the T1000 to the point of decomposition, forcibly snatched, otherwise there is no second possibility.

"Senior brother, if you want to snatch these blueprints, you can just beat me to death. I'm going to explain to my friends, these blueprints...... It was their efforts to divert the enemy that I could get my hands on, and I will never give it to you. ”

Ailing took two steps back, narrowed the distance, and officially put on an attitude of not hesitating to fight. Zhu Yan saw it in his eyes, on the one hand, he sighed that the little girl had really grown up, but on the other hand, he also felt gloomy, because after a series of conflicts, their brother and sister finally had to face such a break. The structural blueprint of the Tongtian cannon fell into the hands of Reins, which was a worse option than Shi Chong, Shi Chong did not have the talents of the Ancient Demon Dao, but Reins not only had, but also a large number of mechanical equipment, as long as he got the power device, with the genius of the little junior sister, I am afraid that one could be built within ten days.

"I said that I wouldn't do anything to my little sister, but ......"

"But what? Do you want to regret it? I'm not afraid of you!"

"Girl, you have always had too little experience in the rivers and lakes, if you want to defeat you and take away the blueprint, you don't necessarily need to do it!"

At the same time as Zhu Yan spoke, the T1000's scanning machine suddenly detected that the structure of the surrounding air was different, first the temperature began to rise, like a precursor to the imminent launch of some kind of flame martial arts, followed by several strange ingredients in it, which looked very similar to ...... Herbs?

"Ahh......h

Originally, the armor of the T1000 had been glowing with a faint silver light, but after Zhu Yan finished saying that, the bright silver light suddenly dimmed, as if he had lost energy, Ailing let out a low breath, couldn't support his body, and half-knelt down.

(It worked!Yunmeng Guze's drug, it really worked!)

In the past few days, Zhu Yan has long realized that he may encounter the scene of a duel between his brother and sister, Zhu Yan is not willing to fight with his junior sister, but also very afraid of T1000, after thinking about it a few times, he asked Hao Kelian to prepare a drug to avoid fighting.

The two brothers and sisters did not speculate, so Zhu Yan secretly cast it, and deliberately used the fire to attract Ailing's attention. He knew that the T1000 could scan for abnormal components in the air, so when preparing the drug, he specially selected a special drug, so that it would take some time for the T1000 to confirm that it was a drug after the scan. How powerful the drug from the Poison Emperor's lineage is, just this moment's delay is enough to exert an effect on a celestial martial artist, not to mention that Ailing does not have celestial power.

"Little junior sister, I'm sorry for you for doing this, but if you are hurt, where will I have the face to go back to see Master? You don't have to worry, after I destroy the blueprint, I will send you out of here safely. ”

Zhu Yan approached Ailing on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also glad that he didn't have to actually do anything with her. It's just that if Ailing didn't expect that the senior brother would use such a method as drugs, Zhu Yan also ignored that there was a ghost woman named Hua Bian Que on Reins' side, and she participated in the whole process of the creation of T1000, and her ability to poison Gu was not much different from Hao Kelian.

The T1000 itself has a complete process for reacting to poisoning. As soon as there are abnormal ingredients around you, or the user in the armor is poisoned, it will automatically inject general-purpose serum to expel the poison, and at the same time accumulate energy, first show the enemy weakness, wait for the enemy who intends to reap the benefits approach, and then launch a powerful counterattack by the program.

Therefore, when Zhu Yan carelessly approached Ailing, who was half-kneeling on the ground, he was surprised to see the silver light of the T1000's armor, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and his lower abdomen suddenly chilled, and he had been hit by a pair of iron palms.

(Oops!) It's an extremely cold palm strength, which specializes in restraining the martial arts of the Yan system...... ）

The palms that hit the lower abdomen were as cold as two large ice cubes, and they were suddenly stuffed into the lower abdomen, Zhu Yan only felt that the qi and blood in his whole body were surging, and he could hardly mention half of his strength, and his whole body was getting colder and colder, knowing that if he continued like this, he would be like being frozen for an hour, and the situation would change several times tonight, how could he waste time like this?

(No, if you are injured, you have to regain your mobility first.) ）

The idea was certain, Zhu Yan did not hesitate, and tried his best to condense the scorching true qi, forcibly agitating, and dissolving the stiff qi and blood one by one. A moment later, he opened his mouth, and two or three mouthfuls of blood spurted out in a row, and immediately froze into one ice stone after another, and while he was suffering internal injuries, he had already regained his mobility.

(What should I do next?Little Senior Sister didn't chase me just now, should I do something with her?)

In the hesitation in my mind, the surrounding air suddenly became hot, and in the rumbling sound, there was an extra jet barrel behind the T1000, which erupted strongly to push the flames, only to hear a "bang", the roof pierced a big hole, and the T1000 turned into a snowy silver light, which had broken through the air.

(This is ...... Ah, I see. ）

A little confused, Zhu Yan immediately understood. Although T1000 is powerful, but the drug of the poison emperor's vein is not the same, Ailing is still affected by the drug, the attack just now, is written in the T1000 program of automatic reaction, and even if Ailing is not unconscious, most of the hands and feet are weak, difficult to move, so as soon as he saw that he regained his ability to act, he had to open the program, and preemptively ejected it at high speed in such an earth-shattering way.

(Can't the little sister move?, so I still have hope...... ）

This thought had just risen, and suddenly I heard a series of loud noises outside, followed by more than ten flashes of golden light, rushing into the night sky, looking at the momentum, eighty percent of them were those golden dragon knights under Shi Chong, although he looked down on them, he couldn't deny that these dragon eagle dogs who had become Shi Chong's lackeys were really difficult to deal with, and the little junior sister was in danger now.

With a long sigh, Zhu Yanyun raised his fire to protect himself, and also shot towards the sky. When I led the team back to the human world, although I had already realized it, I really didn't expect it to be complicated and troublesome......
