Chapter 40. Dragoon Sylvia
Finally got rid of the dragoon, Zhou Jinru took a lot of effort to rush back to the rented apartment, and he also observed outside for half an hour to confirm that there was no ambush before walking over.
As soon as he entered the doorway, he heard a cry and found Carl's wife covering her face and crying, and Carl was also sitting by the door, smoking cigarette after cigarette, and his eyes were red, as if he had not closed his eyes for several days and nights.
Zhou Jinru knew that it was very chaotic outside today, so he didn't say much, went upstairs and found that William and the others had not returned.
"Someone has been in the room."
Zhou Jinru noticed that the warning trap set by Kelsey had been triggered, and it seemed that it was not so calm as it seemed.
A man sat on the edge of the bed, reminiscing about what had happened during the day, walked over to the old radio and pressed the button, and the city radio came from inside.
Today there are 17 fires in Lentinium, most of which have been salvaged and some are being rescued, and there have been accidents and casualties in many areas.
Zhou Jinru listened to the news, there was a knock on the door, he walked over, and found Mr. August standing outside the door.
As always, the old man wore a black suit, and even in snowy weather, he had to wear a tie and a pair of black leather shoes.
"Mr. Four, you're finally back."
"Well, please come in."
Zhou Jinru gave up his position, but August didn't move, the old man just stood at the door and looked at him, and said flatly: "I saw you coming back from the window, a lot of things have happened today, our landlord is facing a problem that he can't solve, and he may ask you for help." β
It turned out that August was here to remind himself, and Zhou Jinru thanked: "Thank you, I will pay attention, but what problem has Mr. Carl encountered?" β
The old gentleman pursed his thin lips, held his glasses, and lowered his voice: "It's now six o'clock in the evening, four hours ago, someone tried to encourage students at the Lentinium City Public University, the young people were boiling with blood, and there was a clash with the people at the police station, more than a dozen college students were arrested by the city guard who arrived afterwards, and the eldest son of the landlord Carl was among them. β
Zhou Jinru did not speak, he neither went to the city public university, nor did he hint to William that, with Kelshey's ingenuity, he would never touch those students, in other words, there was someone else who encouraged those students.
But now it's too late to say this, the truth is that Carl's son was taken away, and his wife should be crying over it.
"That's not good news."
Zhou Jinru shook his head, he didn't think about what to do for a while.
Augustus nodded, turned to leave, the old man took two steps, stopped, and said: "Mr. Four, my wife and I have decided to leave here, to leave this country, in the south of this land, there is a new city called Xista, where the four seasons are like spring, the climate is warm, it will be very good for old people like us." β
"It's really good, and I like it."
After sending August away, Zhou Jinru closed the door, thought about it, and decided to go downstairs to find Carl, only to find that Carl and his wife were not at home, only the little girl Roseanne remained in the basement.
"Mr. Four!"
Luo Shan finally stopped calling him uncle, Zhou Jinru smiled, half-squatted on the ground, and asked, "What about Little Luo Shan's doll?" β
"The doll is gone again, maybe the goblin borrowed it."
The little girl was convinced of the story Zhou Jinru told before, she shook her little body, and stepped forward to hug Zhou Jinru.
"What's wrong?"
"Listen to Dad, Mr. Four is a good person, a good person who is willing to help us."
Zhou Jinru was dumbfounded: "Actually, I didn't do anything." β
Luo Shan said a lot in one breath, and fear kept pressing on her heart: "Mr. Four, this afternoon, there were terrible people in the house, my father and mother were very scared, and my brother didn't come back. β
"Have you seen them?"
Zhou Jinru tried to use emotional guidance to soothe the fear in Luo Shan's heart.
Roshan nodded, then shook her head again, "I don't know who they are, but there's one person I've seen it, and it's the one with a tall hat." β
Huron.
It seems that after the arrest of Carl's eldest son, Huron brought people here, and most of them said some threatening words, which frightened Carl and his wife into losing their masters.
Zhou Jinru knew how much of a deterrent it would have on civilians when a person with a public weapon spoke, and Carl's abnormality could be understood.
"What did they do?"
"I don't know, but they walked around the house and everyone was scared."
Zhou Jinru reassured: "It's okay, don't worry about it now, go back to the room quickly, uncle still has some things to deal with." β
He put his hand on Roxanne's back, half-pushed Roxanne back to the room, and then closed the door, exhaling a hot breath.
A mocking voice came from behind: "I didn't expect you to have such a warm side." β
Zhou Jinru turned around, and the dragoon with long orange hair blocked the entrance to the basement, and it was obvious that she had been standing there for some time.
If the dragoon general Sylvia was sure that she was going to trouble Zhou Jinru, she would definitely come to the apartment to check on the situation, and Zhou Jinru knew that this would be the result, so he didn't choose to dodge.
"Sylvia, do you know who I am?"
"Heh, I'm really curious about you to be able to play that idiot at Huron."
The dragoon will grin, a mouthful of sharp white teeth, letting out a chill in the forest.
Zhou Jinru had no doubt about her curiosity, including stabbing him with a spear in several transparent holes.
"Are you sure you want to do it here?"
He quietly walked to the other side of the long wooden table.
Sylvia crossed her arms and sneered: "I am a soldier, and there are casualty indicators in the army every year, and I don't mind dying a few civilians." β
It is useless to intimidate him, the dragoon general said the casualty indicators, but she stood still and did not move, and she did not mean to do it immediately, and the emotional source did not fluctuate violently, which could not deceive Zhou Jinru.
"Sylvia, you are Victoria's dragoon, Lontinium's guardian, I have a question for you, who are your allegiances?"
It's a clichΓ©, but it's a great deal for Victorians in particular.
Sylvia stepped forward, pressed her right hand on the table with her finger covers, and snorted, "That's your trick?!" β
The dining table was torn apart in an instant, and sawdust flew everywhere.
The dragoon raised his leg and kicked a chair in front of him open, and the furniture was torn apart by the terrible force in the air.
"Show me your skills and show me how you can tease the Victorian soldiers!"
This woman's race is likely to be a fantasy species, and her own resistance is extremely high, Zhou Jinru is full of spirit, and he does not dare to be careless.
Even if he has the strength to defend it, he cannot underestimate the world.
Each country has its own secret weapons, Sami has ice and snow sacrifices, Ursas has the emperor's blade, Sargon has the immortal army, and Yan has a guard, and the strength should not be underestimated.
In the plot of the game, Wei Yanwu's Black Lotus slaughtered the Snow Monster Squad, and then used the threat of one for one to force back the young Praetorian Guard, which can be imagined to be powerful.
Victoria's steam mecha is only the tip of the iceberg, and the dragoon who appeared in front of Zhou Jinru is a secret hidden under the deep water, and he is not allowed to be cautious.
"I don't want to hurt the civilians, don't do anything here, Sylvia, if your allegiance is to the king, you are betraying your loyalty!"
Suddenly, the picture in front of him became extremely slow, and Zhou Jinru strode forward, and with each step he took, the invisible waves were spreading to both sides.
A hint of surprise flashed in the dragoon's eyes, with his right leg as the center of the circle, the whole person spun around rapidly, only to see the man in front of him like a beast, crashing into the left half of his body, and then rushed out of the basement.
What a speed!
Sylvia stumbled and hit her back against the wall, causing the clock hanging on the edge of the wall to fall at her feet and shatter the glass.
Zhou Jinru came to the main hall in an instant, only to feel a gust of wind in his back, he didn't think about it, he immediately jumped up, opened his arms, like a big bird with wings, and landed on the bar with his feet on the bar.
The dragoon will be armed with a half-truncated gun, and the blow of the forward thrust misses, but the power is not reduced, and it directly shatters the door of the bathroom opposite, fortunately there is no one inside, otherwise there will be casualties.
Zhou Jinru knew that he couldn't fight her here, and he couldn't do his best, but the dragoon could.
"Sylvia! I said, don't hurt civilians! β
"Hypocrisy!"
Zhou Jinru's eyes gradually became cold, he has changed a lot recently, once he enters the combat state, it seems that he has changed a person, no longer has feelings, and reason tells him that to achieve the best victory, he does not need to care about sacrifice.
Just as the dragoon general spoke, Zhou Jinru kicked the kettle placed on the bar and flew into the enemy with a punch.
Normally, he was a little slower than the dragoon, and Sylvia dodged sideways, the short spear clenched in her right hand stabbed into the man's back.
When the tip of the spear touched the opponent's body, a layer of light rippled, bursting out a string of sparks, and she stabbed with all her might, but failed to achieve results.
Suddenly, Sylvia's eyes went black, she fell into vertigo, and the bridge of her nose was in sharp pain, and she knew that she had been hit.
When recovering the ability to move, the dragoon will not hesitate to release the source stone technique, clench the short spear with both hands, and stab forward, which seems to be an ordinary stab, but the speed is extremely fast, even if Zhou Jinru is in a subjective state, he still feels that it is difficult to dodge.
But!
The dragoon's thrust was more than once!
Her speed was beyond imagination, and in a very short period of time, she stabbed three times in a row, and each time hit the same point!
Zhou Jinru was taken aback, and was stabbed in the chest by Sylvia continuously, if it weren't for the rigid shield body, he would definitely be dead.
Even though the sharp and sharp short spear was blocked, the power of the Source Stone technique was greatly reduced, but still a part of it fell on him.
I saw Zhou Jinru's whole person flying backwards, crashing into a wall and being buried under the masonry.
Ahem, ahem!
Zhou Jinru coughed violently a few times, breathed heavily, relieved the pain in his chest, he could feel the crazy secretion of adrenaline, the pain was quickly relieved, and his mind was extremely concentrated.
The apartment shrank and couldn't be used, and even so, the dragoon gave him a big "surprise"!
"She didn't chase after her, the physical strength consumed by performing continuous stabbing is not small, and the fantasy seed also needs time to recuperate."
Zhou Jinru found himself lying in the storage room of the apartment, where there was not only food, but also some daily necessities, it seems that Carl usually has the habit of being a hamster.
Drip drip, drip ......
I don't know where the sound of dripping and dapping came from, Zhou Jinru frowned, looked in the direction of the sound, and accidentally found Xiao Luoshan's doll, I don't know how she landed here.
"What is this?"
He crawled over with his hands and feet, only to see a timer with a constant flashing red dot in the pile of goods, and if he hadn't deliberately looked for it, he might not have found it.
Zhou Jinru chuckled in his heart, and something appeared in his heart: a time bomb.
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, why there was a time bomb in Carl's storage room, who would do it, and what was the purpose of doing it.
Can't leave this thing here!
There are many people living in the apartment, although they are not familiar with most people, but Zhou Jinru knows better that once the time bomb is detonated, the entire building will be reduced to rubble in an instant, and many people will die because of it.
"The bomb was certainly not planted by Carl, he was greedy for money, but he was not so mad that he even wanted to blow up his own family; It's certainly not Kelsey, the lynx usually doesn't have time to save people, and it won't kill innocents indiscriminately; It shouldn't be William, William's whole mind is on the king, and he can't do such a thing......"
Zhou Jinru suddenly remembered what Luo Shan said that in the afternoon, Huron, who was wearing a high hat, came with people and took a turn.
The little girl may not know where Huron went, but in Zhou Jinru's opinion, he is the most likely person, and even if it is not him, it has something to do with the people he brought.
There's no time to think about it!
Zhou Jinru grabbed the time bomb with flashing red dots with both hands, hugged it in his arms, opened his legs and rushed out of the storage room, starting the subjective time slowly to the maximum power, and the whole person turned into a golden light and flew out.
No matter how good the dragoon is, he can't stop the light, he flies into the air, throws the time bomb in his hand into the air with all his might, pulls out the revolver, aims at the target, and pulls the trigger.
A steel-core bullet swirled out of the barrel at high speed, hitting the time bomb with unerring accuracy, and a brilliant flash of fire exploded in the sky of the outer city, with a loud bang that shattered the window glass of nearby houses.
Zhou Jinru fell into the snow with a thud, and after the limit was slowed down, he needed a little time to recover his strength.
The icy snow met the hot body and melted into a mixture of ice and water.
As if something was pressing against his chest, he barely opened his eyes, only to see a bloodied dragoon carrying a spear pointed at his body.
The cold wind ruffled the dragoon's long hair, and the orange-red strands of hair disrupted her vision.
After a few seconds, the spear moved away, but the dragoon general was still standing there, and said coldly, "What happened to the bomb just now?" β
It seems that her coming to the apartment was just an accident.
Zhou Jinru was lying in the snow, and gradually had new ideas in his heart.
