Chapter 9: The Undercurrent
The ruby at the tip of the wand in Sody's hand continued to gather a dazzling red light, as if countless fireflies in the air were constantly being attracted, and they swarmed around the gem and sparkled and jumped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lan Shi waved his right hand, and the hidden shield silently shrouded around him and Sodi.
With this transparent hidden shield, Lan Shi and Sodi cautiously thought about the red butterfly's movement, wanting to find out the reason. Mei Sanniang beside her preemptively said cautiously to a girl: "Ruo'er, go and take a look." ”
Sodi originally wanted to go and check it out, but was blocked by Lan Shi's cross spear, and he shook his head slightly to signal himself to be careful. Thinking about it, in such a dangerous situation, only those who know how to do dark arts can better protect themselves in such a dangerous situation, so Sodi gave up as a matter of course.
This little girl named Ruo'er is the one who threw a dart to signal Suo Di yesterday, but at this moment, the innocence and childishness on her face have long faded, replaced by a solemnity that she has never seen before, like an adult who just has a beautiful childlike face, calm and calm, but full of vigilance and infinite murderous aura.
She carefully scrutinized back and forth around the red butterfly, then slowly crouched down, and after a moment, out of nowhere, pulled out a slender and sharp silver needle and stabbed it towards the red butterfly's chest. The movements are skillful, and they are more handy than the old man with acupuncture. In less than a sip of tea, Ruo'er frowned slightly and said, "It's dead." She should have died under the dragon fan of Bliss yesterday, because her shoulder was heavily bruised, and the wound was large. She has survived until now because she has mobilized all her magic power to maintain it, so as to disguise her innocence, so as to form a deterrent to those enemies who want to take advantage of the situation and want to kill her. But it is precisely because of this that in order to better confuse the real with the fake, she played the xylophone with a calm expression, which caused the phantom power accumulated in the wound to be confused and suddenly died. ”
Ruo'er had just finished analyzing these near-perfect speculations, the red butterfly on the ground suddenly twisted and curled, and in an instant, a pale hair fell sparsely, and Ana's multi-colored body shrank and shrunk, and her face was instantly old, densely wrinkled like the rolling mountains, and the total height was shockingly less than one meter three. It's like a balloon that deflats in an instant.
This earth-wide change made everyone's eyes widen in horror, or even cover their mouths in amazement. The baby girl in Mei Sanniang's arms, who was resting peacefully, was so frightened that she cried.
A woman who often changes her appearance, she can choose to fall into the country and the city, stunning the Quartet, charming and moving, well-behaved and gentle, and all other peerless faces at her fingertips, but she still can't escape the endless old age before death.
Red Butterfly is dead, but it's a well-deserved death. If no one had secretly 'helped' her in killing Bliss, perhaps it would have been her death as early as last night. This is enough to prove the strength of Bliss itself, even at the moment when he was hit by the poisonous secret weapon, he still mobilized all the magic power to free his dragon fan from the huge ice, and let its sharp sword finally assassinate the red butterfly, which was also extremely powerful.
Among the people who can be regarded as top masters, in addition to Red Butterfly and Bliss, there are two people left in the end. One is this seemingly harmonious and kind Mei Sanniang, and the other is the terrifying character who has been hidden and in the dark.
............
When Mei Sanniang returned to the room, she passed by Lan Shi and Sodi, and said coldly: "Bliss died from a poisonous secret weapon, and the dart giver ......" Without speaking, she led those children away slowly. The expression is dark, and the tone is floating, but it seems nonchalant. Together with the bewitching proprietress beside her, she was also frightened, and even couldn't help shaking her body and shivering.
Moon-by-Moon Xuan, Xixuan Ting.
Sodi stretched her delicate waist, exhaled fiercely, and couldn't help but say happily: "Senior brother, I really didn't expect it, the red butterfly is also dead." You cunning old man, this time you kill two birds with one stone. Hahaha, it seems that only Mei Sanniang, the only woman who has a headache, is left. Squeamish: "But this Mei Sanniang really makes people feel kind, and she has such harmony with people, I really can't see that she has that point that makes me question." Why did she take a group of innocent children to get involved in this boring Moon-to-Moon Xuan campaign, it's really a bit of a headache. ”
Lan Shi sat precariously: "Mei Sanniang is by no means a simple person, except for the general Dongying of the Yuwen Palace, there is almost no one who is invincible, and we have to be more vigilant." Even if we take precautions seamlessly, I don't think we may be able to get away with it, and I think those seemingly cute little girls are also the most outstanding children in the entire Endless Valley, and the assassination technique is naturally very good, otherwise Mei Sanniang will be as you said, it is impossible to bring a few children who are in the way to such a dangerous place for no reason. ”
Sodi's eyes flashed, and he said puzzledly: "Why do we have to be so vigilant? At present, he is extremely powerful, and entering the top ten of the election is as easy as swallowing the food in his mouth." And Mei Sanniang has a kind nature, everyone knows that she has never killed anyone who is not evil. Maybe she didn't come to participate in the election campaign, how could she trust anyone with her miserable experience, or maybe she came this time to kill the people she wanted to kill, such as those wicked people who bullied her before, but it hasn't appeared yet, otherwise Mei Sanniang would have done it a long time ago. ”
Lan Shi frowned and said, "I have no way of knowing this, but I know that she seems to have her eyes on us." ”
"What?" Sodie suddenly panicked: "This ...... , this, we have no grievances with her, why is she eyeing us?"
"Because all the weapons I made are gone. Lan Shi spread out his right hand, and in his palm was a hairpin that imitated Ruo'er's head. He said with a vague expression: "Except for the one that Mei Sanniang handed over to me." ”
"What?" Sodi almost cried out, "Senior brother, doesn't she even know about the provocation between Red Butterfly and Bliss?"
"Probably not, we just copied a lot of weapons, and there's no evidence at all that we made the trick. We're just a suspicion in her heart, but that's enough for her to kill us. After all, she is the master assassin of the entire empire, and even if we only calculate a little, there is no sand in the eyes of a true dark magician, and the best way to protect yourself is to eradicate anyone who might endanger you. ”
Sodi looked stunned, and said with a little uneasiness: "Senior brother, aren't I in a big disaster?
Lan Shi paused, but he looked unusually calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Wait." Now that tomorrow is the day of the election, I think Mei Sanniang will naturally not be in a hurry to attack us. If she really came for the election, now she will definitely calm down and focus on the overall situation, after all, she can't figure out our strength, if she loses both, she can only fulfill those who are waiting for the rabbit. Besides, if she is not for the purpose of campaigning, as we guessed, after all, she has many enemies in the past, and maybe she has been waiting for someone to appear, and that person is her main purpose. ”
Sodi sighed helplessly, and suddenly said, "Senior brother, have you noticed that those people in the entire inn seem to be constantly changing. The people we saw yesterday are gone today, and there are many new faces. ”
Indeed, as Sodi said. I don't know if it was the pinnacle duel between Red Butterfly and Bliss last night that formed a strong deterrent to some people who felt inferior in strength and felt hopeless to leave, or why? In short, some people just quit quietly, but there are new faces emerging continuously. Or maybe those who arrived early just used Zhuyuexuan as a passer-by at the post station, and that didn't matter at all. It's just that tomorrow is the day of the election of the Moon Xuan, and at that time I am afraid that the entire restaurant will be overcrowded, and naturally this huge and exquisite Moon will be ruined.
"When someone leaves, someone comes. It's good to be able to leave safely. ”
Suo Di said: "Senior brother, there is no need for us to entangle with these people who want to use the prestige of Yuwen Palace to plot their trajectory for the sake of glory and wealth. Master just wants to find out why, if it's really not worth it for us to take our own lives because of this, I'm still ......."
"Shut up. Unexpectedly, Lan Shi shouted: "Senior sister, if the master is here, he will definitely not stand idly by, and now we don't know the real reason at all, how can we be worthy of the master's high hopes? Yuwen Palace is a thief in the world, and everyone who is righteous will be punished, and we will defend the country to the death. Master has always taught us that those who achieve great things must abandon small things......"
Sodi couldn't have been worried about Lan Shi's safety, but unexpectedly she was drunk by Lan Shi, and she said without annoyance: "Set her mind and seek peace in the world." Wuzong is a decent person in the world, assisting Wang Zhao for decades, although he was victimized by traitors, he returned to the country. She pretended to be unhappy and said, "Senior brother, that's enough, you're ...... it."
Lan Shi suddenly threw Sodi to the ground, exclaiming, "Be careful!!" As soon as the words fell, a cold current rushed against the back of Lan Shi's head, and a crackling wooden sound suddenly sounded in the room.
At a glance, I was shocked to see more than a dozen flying knives flashing with cold light neatly inlaid on the wooden wall, and the height above the ground was only one meter high, if it wasn't for Lan Shi's quick reaction, I'm afraid that Lan Shi and Sodi at this time would have been riddled with holes and died.
Who is this who wants to put people to death? Lan Shi and Sodi only felt that their entire back bones involuntarily burst into a cold breath.
Lan Shi stretched out his hand and quickly drew a circle on Sodi's body, and the hidden shield surrounded him silently. He lifted the cross gun, and broke down the door alone, and with a bang, the door was filled with the strong air flow of Lan Shi and shattered, and the sawdust bounced open in all directions.
