Chapter 24: The Art of Lying
Walking gently through the underground pipes, her steps were light, as if she was not walking in the dark and damp underground world, but walking in the bustling downtown like smoke, only with a slight fierceness in her eyes.
She was followed by two werewolves, sniffing with their noses from time to time, searching the air for the breath of their pursuers. However, because the underground pipes are full of smelly sludge, the other party can easily avoid it by smearing some sludge on their bodies, making this behavior more symbolic than practical.
It has been twenty minutes since the full-scale search continued.
Two more adventurers died during this time.
One of them is a strong melee type.
At this moment, everyone has truly understood the power of the young man.
This made the adventurer completely restrain his previous arrogance and no longer dare to be careless.
This shift in mindset has made everyone more cautious when fighting.
When the boy made his fifth move, the attacked adventurer defended with all his might, only defended but did not attack, and finally supported the allies to come to the rescue, becoming the first adventurer to encounter the boy without dying.
Today, the channel is no longer full of arrogant clamour, but replaced by careful analysis and the joy of the rest of the disaster. The adventurers who had wanted to kill each other before were already feeling lucky that someone could survive from the young man's hands.
He went to the east, and the sixteenth to nineteenth groups took notice. The twenty-five, twenty-seventh, and twenty-ninth teams were ready to meet on the side. "It's Vina in the channel.
As the boy's sneak attack grew, everyone became more and more united, and Wina's command began to become quickly and powerful, and the search net became tighter and tighter.
Although the teenager has not yet been caught, it is clear that the cooperation of the people of the West District is strengthening as the efficiency of everyone's actions increases.
Although this battle brought everyone a certain number of casualties, it also ran in everyone's cooperation and combat efficiency to a certain extent.
"Gentle, you go to the south exit. That kid failed once just now, and he might give up and continue the pursuit. We need to block all the paths he might be able to escape. Vina continued to command.
"Okay, I'll go over it. Gently turned and walked towards the exit.
The south exit is the nearest exit in this area, and when I came here, I looked around gently, and replied to the channel: "I have arrived at the designated place and have found nothing." ”
"Roger. The four groups of South Street moved north, and we opened the net a little more. ”
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Teams from all over the country responded.
At this moment, the alarm in the heart of tenderness suddenly appeared.
As soon as she lowered her head, people didn't have time to turn around and rushed out like arrows.
Despite her quick reaction, she was slapped behind her, and the demon-destroying darkness poured into the inside of her body, gently spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The high-speed nerve response system was activated, and she gently accelerated her forward rush, rushing all the way to the Yongbi, running all the way up the Yongbi, turning over in the air, only to see a black shadow below that had brushed her body, waving her fists, and knocking the two werewolves away with one punch.
Only then did Gentleness see the young man clearly, his whole body was stinking, and it turned out that he was hiding in the industrial wastewater next to the corridor just now.
He swam all the way down the wastewater!
This industrial wastewater is so toxic and corrosive that even adventurers will gradually corrode their skin when they are in it. The young man's face had been eroded by the waste water at the moment, but he didn't care at all, but his eyes were still bright.
The blow was ineffective, and the boy turned around and hit him with an elbow, and the movements were coherent and fast.
Before he could whip the whip, the young man had already turned and rushed towards Gentle.
"Graceful Waltz!" the gentle air retreated, and the whip shadow drew one circle after another.
The boy's right fist made a tiger protrusion, and it was a punch against the gentle long whip.
Tiger Fist.
This punch hit the long whip, but it seemed to shake the gentle heart.
With a strong force, Gentle only felt as if her heart had been beaten hard. She immediately knew that this was a sign that the other party had mastered this skill to the point of incomparable proficiency, and most of them had already comprehended it of their own, and they were able to use the enemy's extended target as a limb to fight.
No wonder Shen Yi said that this young man is not easy to deal with, although he doesn't know much, but the mastery of each ability has reached the level equivalent to mutation, which has greatly improved the power of the skill, making it far above the level.
Her Rose Armor is only effective against high damage, and is completely ineffective against this kind of rapid succession of damage with slightly lower attacks.
But she still only smiled lightly: "It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The blade of power slashed hard, and the young man faced the light of the knife with his hands together, and he actually held the knife stiffly. The ice flashed on the knife light, and the ice burst, and at the same time as the skill was launched, the young man suddenly withdrew his hand, and this attack suddenly missed the target, and the ice burst failed to be released.
The boy had spun around and flew up, kicking Gentle in the chin. Gently retreated, and a little starlight burst out on his body.
Meteor Strike!
More than ten meteors hit the young man, knocking the young man into the air, the gentle long whip swept away, and the skill was entwined and launched.
At the same time as winding and locking on the opponent, the young man grabbed the long whip with his backhand, and a bolt of lightning flew along the whip body to attack gently, which was another mutation skill that could be teleported with force.
The bodies of the two trembled at the same time, and the skill was sealed at the same time.
The young man spun around like a windmill and rushed towards Gentle, his combat was mainly based on exercises, so he was not afraid of skill seals at all. Gentle snorted coldly and swung the knife to counterattack, the skill star blade was launched, and her skills were mainly equipped with their own skills, so they were not afraid of the paralyzing impact of this electric hand.
The two fought against each other, and the gentle star blade cut the young man's arm almost without hindrance, but at the moment when the other party was stabbed, the young man had already pounced and bit down on the gentleness.
"Hmm!" she cried out softly, but she immediately grabbed the young man's scalp with her backhand, raised her right knee, and slammed it into the young man's lower abdomen. Then he threw the whip and grabbed the boy's body and threw him backwards, one over the shoulder, smashing him to the ground.
The young man obviously didn't expect Gentle to react so quickly, and he was dizzy by Gentle Fall. Gentleness had already turned around and kicked the boy in the stomach, knocking him against the wall and falling him down.
Then she smiled and said, "You're good, but unfortunately, I already know how many ways you are." ”
Each adventurer has their own combat style. When fighting in situations where they are not familiar with each other, it is often easy to be affected by surprise. If it's the first time to meet an opponent like a teenager, Gentle may suffer a big loss. It's a pity that after a series of contacts, Gentle already has a great understanding of his fighting style, so he also has a corresponding way to crack it, while the boy doesn't know enough about Gentle.
At this moment, she gently hooked her finger to the young man: "Get up, let's fight again." ”
The boy slowly got to his feet, and he looked down at his right arm.
The gentle star blade cut off almost his entire arm.
He didn't care at all, just looked at the gentleness with straight eyes: "Woman...... You're strong...... No weaker than the man who caught me. I can't kill you, but you can't stop me...... I'll kill you next time. ”
This woman's strength is stronger than he expected, and at this moment, retreating is the best choice. The rear is the exit of the pipeline, and as long as he retreats from the pipeline, the sky is wide and he is free.
However, Gentle smiled and shook her head: "It's a pity, you can't go." ”
The young man flicked his right hand gently, and a small crystal ball flew into the boy.
Microcosm World!
Three figures appeared at the same time, rushing straight at the young man, it was Hong Lang, King Kong and the fat man.
―――――――――――――――
"So, what you want to use is being used by your companion first, so you can't use it for a while?" asked Serena.
Her voice was surprisingly calm, and there was no panic in her voice.
Shen Yi nodded helplessly: "Things are a little unexpected, an unfortunate accident, I didn't talk to them in advance." ”
One of the important restrictions on the use of public spaces in the team contract is that public objects that have been used by team members will no longer be able to be used by other team members when they are within a certain range of the user.
This is a special restriction on the use of equipment in order not to make the public space a transit station, avoiding the transfer of high-level equipment or props between adventurers in two places through the public space. Otherwise, the team can use all their efforts to buy a certain type of high-end equipment and rotate it.
Shen Yi didn't expect that Gentle would use the microfilm world before him, and this small accident and coincidence made his plan bankrupt immediately.
He can't be blamed for not giving notice.
Entering the castle to save Serena was Shen Yi's temporary idea, and in order to avoid being discovered when he infiltrated, he turned off the camp channel and the team channel. This leads to poor communication and major problems with coordination.
"So what now?"
Shen Yi looked out the window, and the two adventurers were still guarding downstairs.
After thinking about it, he took out the vampire blade, stabbed it against the floor, and began to dig holes in the floor: "Time is running out, you must leave as soon as possible." Let's go from below...... Whose room is that?"
"Barast, a messenger of death. ”
"I hope it's not your friend, I'll kill him if necessary...... If he's in the room. ”
"He's not my friend, but he's also part of a vampire family. I can't watch you kill him. ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm only concerned about your safety, and the safety of other vampires is not on my radar. Shen Yi had already cut a big hole in the floor.
Serena snorted, "You're making me betray my clan by doing this!"
"It's just the price you have to pay to stay alive. ”
Shen Yi tried to pull Serena to jump out of the hole, but Serena refused.
She said, "That's what I don't understand, you haven't told me why they killed me until now!
"Don't be stupid, Serena, Victor can't protect you. That's right, without the consent of the vampire elders, rashly attacking a member of the vampire family will lead to Victor's anger. But they weren't afraid. For them, killing you is a very important thing, so important that it is worth their turn against Victor, and in fact it may not be a fight. With Victor's character, do you think he will openly fall out with these powerful mercenaries for your sake?"
Serena was stunned for a moment, and Shen Yi continued: "They didn't attack you, not because of Victor, but because of us. ”
"You guys?"
"Yes, they want to threaten us with a deal with you alive. ”
"It sounds so inexplicable. ”
Shen Yi sighed, and at this point, he could only break the skylight: "We are from the same place, Serena." ”
"What did you say?" Serena didn't understand for a moment.
Shen Yi repeated helplessly: "I said that the mercenaries of the vampires and the mercenaries of the werewolves, that is, us, we are from the same place." ”
"You're a bunch?" Serena's eyes were about to bulge, and the news shocked her.
Shen Yi said helplessly: "Yes, but it's not." We come from the same place, but we are appointed by different employers, and we have completely opposite tasks. We're not friends......"
"Like me and Klein?"
"Yes, but Crane at least wants you to be his queen, and we won't have any good feelings between us. We're not here just because we've accepted commissions, but because we all want to eliminate each other...... With the help of vampires and werewolves. ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"You are the one we want to protect. ”
"So they're trying to kill me?"
"Yes, that would have dealt us a heavy blow. ”
"Then why are you protecting me?"
This is the hardest part of all the questions to answer.
Shen Yi hesitated.
He didn't know how to explain it.
This is also the hardest part of all lies.
Motivation, what is the motivation?
Why would werewolf mercenaries fight to save a vampire castle's deathbringer?
Shen Yi had a headache.
But he knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, Serena wouldn't believe him, and wouldn't be willing to follow him out of the vampire castle.
And he had to come up with an answer sooner.
Looking at Serena's forced eyes at this moment, Shen Yi took a deep breath, and he finally said, "Because I'm in love with you...... Serena. ”
