Chapter 231: The Faceless Dead

The howling night wind, the dilapidated small temple, and the not very spacious open space, under the dim and uncertain jumping bonfire, are divided into two battlefields. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info one is close to the temple wall, more than ten corpse soldiers and monsters and a group of seal cultivators are fighting chaotically, and the other occupies most of the open space, and it is two unclear figures constantly staggered and crazy shots......

Whoa-

The two chains circled like snakes, but everywhere they went, the stone floors that had grown moss and weeds because no one had been tended to clean them for a long time had crumbled, and the chains came and went in the chaos of stone splashes, one dancing in the air and the other on the ground, echoing each other, as if forming a dense formation, and rolling towards the very flexible and ghostly figures in the formation from all angles.

"Hey!"

Under the net, even if the flexible figure continued to rush left and right, it only delayed for less than ten breaths, and it was twisted by countless chains that responded to it. However, at this moment when it seemed that the victory and defeat had been decided, the chains passed straight through the figure, as if piercing the void, without seeing blood and groaning in pain......

Naturally, this is not the normal reaction of metal chains passing through the human body, it is just a phantom, and when those chains are blindly entangled because they can't find their target, the flexible figure suddenly reappears, and this time it is clear that it is the man in black with an old voice, stepping on the chain dancing in the air, like walking on the ground, turning into a black shadow, and quickly swooping down to the source, the man with the hair who controls the chains.

The big man with the hair was in danger but not chaotic, as if he had expected it, he laughed a long time, squinted at the black shadow stabbing in the air with a sharp double dagger in his hand, took a step forward blatantly, choked and screamed, pulled out the knife sideways, and practiced the knife light from bottom to top, instantly drawing a dazzling cold light in the air.

Bell――

There was a piercing sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the noise of chaos not far away was suppressed. The two figures paused at the same time, and then they parted again, and the big man with the hair retreated, stepping on several deep footprints on the stone slab. The man in black soared into the sky like a cannonball, and escaped into the night, and after a while slowly landed like a feather on the ground a few feet away.

Looking at each other from afar, the night wind swept by, and in the middle was a devastated field, and the lime dust had not yet dissipated.

Raised his hand to wipe the corners of his mouth behind the triangular face towel, and glanced at the past, the red blood stains were shocking. After all, it was in the air that could not be borrowed, and the hand-to-hand fight just now was a little boring, but the old man in black with a pale voice didn't care much, looked at the big man with the hair, shook his head and smiled.

"Ha, I have heard that the three nets of the night captivating city Geng Shen's lock are known as the evil things in the world, and when I saw it today, I knew that the skill on the knife was not weak. ”

That's right, the big man with the hair is Geng Qinghou who came from the wild forest. In fact, judging from the current effect, the timing of this encirclement and suppression is not good, there is no way, they were discovered by the other party during the counter-encirclement before, so they can only act in a hurry. And when Geng Qinghou took the lead in coming here, he only saw the old man in black in front of him who wanted to leave, so he didn't think about it, and the two sides fought a battle.

"Do you know me?" Geng Qinghou looked at the man in black and said with a big grin, "In that case, then let's arrest it." ”

The old man in black chuckled disapprerovingly: "Geng Shenzhu is so confident?"

"Confidence fart, I have eyes, I can see. Raising his finger and pointing to his eyes, and then pointing at the other party, Geng Qinghou pouted disdainfully, "Assassins, dead soldiers, dark guards, I have seen a lot of goods in the gutter like you, and you can smell the smell from a few feet away, if you hide in the dark and move, then it's fine, but now that you are in the light, you still want to run?"

As if Geng Qinghou had been told his identity, the old man in black paused, and then sighed softly: "Geng Shenzhu is really extraordinary, and the old man admires it." But ......"

swept his eyes left and right, and said with a smile, "Although I am not sure to kill you, if I want to get out and want to leave, can you stop me?"

Geng Qinghou put the knife into the sheath, slowly put the chain back, and wrapped it around his forearm: "You can try." ”

"Then try it. ”

Responding lightly, the figure of the old man in black flashed suddenly, and flew back towards the temple wall behind.

"Where to go!" shouted loudly, screamed through the air, and the chains came out again.

Geng Qinghou's two chains are obviously not ordinary things, if you are not mistaken, they should be seals. Wrapped in the forearm, hidden in the sleeve, only a few feet long, but the release can lock people a few feet away, and the end is strange and weird.

For example, right now, Geng Qinghou has not left the place, but the two chains thrown out have already come behind the man in black, like a poisonous snake with a bloody mouth, biting down on the pipa bone at the latter's shoulder blade. If this bite is confirmed, then the old man in black will no longer have the possibility of escaping.

However, the next moment, the man in black who ran to the temple wall laughed, raised his hand to absorb a student who was fleeing in a panic, and threw it backwards without looking.

"Geng Shenzhuo, these are all apprentices of the Seal Academy, and they are also the pride of the future Seal Dao, you don't want to hurt them, haha......"

"******!" Geng Qinghou's expression finally changed when he saw this, to be reasonable, since these seal cultivators with the status of students of the Seal Art Academy, since they dare to go out of the city to do such a gray business, then whether they are prepared or not, whether they are conscious or not, etc., should bear the consequences of this behavior. After all, the Printing Academy only provides a place to learn, not exists as an umbrella or the like.

But then again, because of this damn identity, anyone can see death without saving them, but Geng Qinghou can't...... Because they came from the Seal Division.

"Get out of the wayβ€”"

Geng Qinghou, who was furious, wanted to pretend that he couldn't see the cultivator who was dancing in the air and screaming, and continued to urge the chains to come up with a string of sugar gourds, killing two birds with one stone. But reason still tended to him, and with a flick of his wrist, the chain turned into a thorn, and the retoucher student who was in the way of the attack was swept aside.

This action actually didn't delay for long, not even a breath, but it was enough for the old man in black, who rushed into the crowd in laughter, and threw several seal repairer students one after another, completely blocking the direction of the chain.

After Geng Qinghou vented these people, the figure of the old man in black was already gone, only a loud laugh slowly came from the temple along the night breeze.

"Geng Shenzhu doesn't need to be polite, we will have a ...... later"

Bang, chains fall heavily, rubble splatters. After making sure that the other party had escaped, Geng Qinghou's expression was not so ugly, he just squinted at the dilapidated and abandoned temple, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, an angry question came from the side, "Geng Shenzhu, it's just to save people, are you too heavy?" It was a smiling young man, and the old man in black took half of the corpse soldiers with him when he left, and he was also relieved, but after seeing the new members who were wailing and rolling, his expression became difficult to look at again.

It wasn't caused by the corpse soldiers' attack, but because Geng Qinghou was whipped like this with a chain.

Geng Qinghou turned his head when he heard the voice, glanced at the smiling young man, didn't see joy or anger, and asked instead of answering: "Are you the head of this group of academy chicks?"

Without waiting for the smiling young man to answer, he waved his hand, "Just as you are, first organize people to save your waste companions and count the casualties." I'll leave someone here to take over, and then I'll send you back to the headquarters of the Seal Division of Nightfall City, and notify the academy to come and collect people...... Don't try to escape halfway, the Seal Division is an official yamen, and it will not kill people if they are caught, but they will never be merciful to fugitives, understand? ”

The smiling young man's face turned pale when he heard this: "You can't do this to us, we are students of the Printing Academy......

Before the words fell, a big hand of a fan reached out, and he forcibly pulled it in front of him with the back of the neck of the smiling young man. Geng Qinghou's face was expressionless, and he fixed on the former's slightly flustered eyes, and sprayed a little spit on the other party's face, "Believe me, the academy's signboard is not as effective as you imagined in front of me." On the other hand, if I had not been one of the Seals, you would be dead by now. ”

The tone of the statement is as indifferent as water, as straight as speaking to a dead man.

Immediately, pressing the head of the smiling young man, Geng Qinghou withdrew his hand and turned around, looking at several subordinates who jumped out of the wild forest behind him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he walked away, leaving the smiling young man behind him stunned in place, as if he was still immersed in Fang Cai's terrifying aura, unable to move for a while.

"Boss, come and have a look!"

The subordinates of Team B carried out two people from the wild forest, and at this time, they were pointing to a man in black who had been chained through the pipa bone and tied up with flowers, and urged loudly.

However, after Geng Qinghou came, he first looked at another short figure, it was the young man named Xiaohu, at this time he was completely unwitting, his eyes were closed, lying on the ground softly, there was a short arrow nailed to the left shoulder, and half of his body was red.

With so much blood flowing, it stands to reason that his face should be miserable white, but this is not the case, at this time, his small face is like the bottom of a pot, blue and black, and he looks like a ghost with a green face and fangs, which is very hideous and terrifying.

"This bastard ......"

The scolding was not unjust, and it was precisely because Xiaohu was too eager for quick success and quick profit, and accidentally made a movement during the sneaking, which caused the other party to be alert, and finally led to the failure of the anti-encirclement operation. Of course, he himself was taught a lesson......

Geng Qinghou frowned: "Didn't find the antidote?"

"Several porcelain bottles were found from him, and there should be an antidote in them, but I don't know which one it is......"

Following the guidance of his subordinates, Geng Qinghou looked at the man in black, and couldn't help but be angry with his face with just one glance, but then calmed down again.

The reason for the anger was because the black-clothed man had a crooked nose, and a little black blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth, and it was obvious that he was already dead and could not die again. Of course, this was not Geng Qinghou's doing, the other party was still alive when he shot and captured it. It couldn't be that those subordinates made claims and killed each other, where did they go to force out the whereabouts of Xiaohu's antidote?

The only explanation is suicide.

In fact, one subordinate bowed his head and said in shame, "He has a poison sac hidden in his teeth, which is very toxic and cannot be saved......"

It's not a new move, and many Assassins have done it. This is also the reason why Geng Qinghou is angry, the Zhiyin Division is different from the ordinary official yamen, the enemy they have to face is the seal repairer, the situation is more complicated, and the situation is more complicated, and more dangerous, so such as piercing the pipa bone, breaking the hands and feet, and even simply stabbing the dantian lower abdomen with a knife This seemingly cruel method is just an ordinary method used by the Zhiyin Division to capture prisoners, and it also includes fanning the full teeth of special prisoners to prevent the other party from hiding poison and committing suicide......

These are the basic common sense that everyone in the Department of Printing and Printing is familiar with.

Therefore, Geng Qinghou was dissatisfied with letting this man in black commit suicide so easily. But then when he saw the face of the man in black behind the triangular scarf, his anger disappeared in an instant......

What a face it is, or rather a human face than a mess of rotten tomatoes. The criss-crossing scars are all over every corner of the face, which should be the work of sharp blades such as swords, and because they have obviously not been properly treated, some of the scars are seriously infected, and they are puffed up with sarcoma folds, which look like mounds and mountains in the wilderness, with potholes and undulating hills, making people feel acid reflux in their stomachs and want to vomit.

If Xiaohu's appearance looks like a green-faced fanged ghost, then this man in black is a Yaksha who crawled directly out of the abyss of hell, and it takes a lot of courage to look at it.

Fortunately, Geng Qinghou's courage is very strong, and there is no obvious change in his expression when he looks at it. However, if someone stood across from him and looked closely, he would notice that his pupils were shrinking sharply, as if he was shocked and fearful......

After a moment, he spat out a turbid breath and said word by word: "Faceless Death!"

"Sizzle-" Compared to Geng Qinghou, the other members of Team B were not so calm, and immediately gasped when they heard this, "I'm just guessing...... Are they really?"

Geng Qinghou affirmed his head, "There will be no mistake, this kind of self-mutilating assassin organization is the only one in the world, and there is no other semicolon." ”

After a pause, he shook his head, "No wonder the suicide was so decisive, I don't blame you this time...... After coming to Nightfall City, I have seen more than a dozen faceless dead soldiers before and after, well, all of them are corpses without exception. ”

Several subordinates were speechless, but Geng Qinghou didn't want to talk more, and asked instead: "How many bottles of pills did you find?" ”

A subordinate simply handed over a few thin-necked vials that looked the same, and Geng Qinghou didn't bother to find the possible mark code on the bottle, this kind of loophole could not exist, because the other party was a faceless dead man.

Uncorked one by one and observed the pills in the bottle, this process did not waste long, Geng Qinghou listed a vial separately.

Seeing this, a subordinate moved his heart and said happily: "This is the antidote?"

"I don't know, but I'll know right away. When the words fell, Geng Qinghou poured out a pill, simply threw it into his mouth, and under the stunned gaze of several subordinates, he chewed a few bites like jelly beans, smacking his lips, like an aftertaste.

After a moment, he nodded, and threw the vial back, "Give it to this bastard." ”

After the subordinate caught it, he subconsciously asked the same question as Fang Cai: "This...... Is it the antidote?"

"I'm not dead, am I?" Geng Qinghou spread his hands as a matter of course, and then folded his fingers in one place, clicking, and his tone was irrepressibly excited, "Okay, don't waste time, you stay and treat this bastard, and then escort those chicks back to the city." The others came with meβ€”damn it! I've finally seen a living faceless deadman, and I've had to do it this time anyway!"
