The gap between actual combat and training is still really big, Lilith pinched her shoulder.

When fighting between the strong, no one will abide by the one-on-one gentleman principle, and no one will feel pity when he sees that she is a weak girl.

She was still too naïve.

Due to the heavy blood loss, Shi took her back to the residential area and took her to the local dilapidated clinic for rough bleeding and repairs. The medical conditions and hygiene here are quite different from the places where she went to perform the surgery before, so Lilith has no intention of overhauling the delicate parts here.

The small clinic is located next to the busy gladiatorial arena, and it is not bustling with people.

The nurse rudely helped her quickly disinfect, and after stopping the bleeding and applying the medicine, she hurried to see the next patient. Not only are the deaths and injuries caused by the chaos of Ye'an, the deaths and injuries caused by the gang fighting, the patients with deep radiation, and the even more terrifying infectious diseases are so common, and these people have not felt that they need to be taken seriously.

Stone went to hand over the young beast he had brought back on his errand and set up her, and came back to see her doing, and saw her sitting in a daze, with thick bandages on her shoulders.

The stone brought her safe drinking water, and sat next to the girl to find something to say, when she suddenly found that her friend had become a girl, and it seemed that talking was much more awkward than before. Scratching his head, remembering that he had seen her skillfully stalking her prey, and that she herself had little experience in hunting, he said, "...... Where did you learn tracking? ”。

Lilith thought about it, but decided to tell the truth, "Assassination training, tracking and counter-tracking will all be practiced to this point." ”

This step is called the foxtrot, and is often used to track prey or targets in the forest, as well as to escape from others' tracking - to minimize the noise and movement of walking in the forest.

"Ah, no wonder ......," Stone muttered, patting his head.

Amazing strength, obviously not a slum-like modified limb, and the fact that she always kept silent about her family, and she often naturally bypassed the topic when asked—it was unlikely that she would have been a child from an ordinary family.

"Is your brother okay lately?" Lilith didn't really want to continue on the subject, and raised her glass to drain the already half-full drinking water.

"He's fine," Shi often talks the most about his brother, "and it seems that he is finally going to be promoted some time ago." In this way, our family can also move from the outskirts of the slums to the suburbs. It seems that a senior prefect named Ulysses is willing to promote him to adjutant regardless of his past suspicions, his income and stock have risen a lot, and his benefits are good. ”

"Looks like this profession is really good......" Lilith nodded in response, looking impassive.

Ulysses Augustus, isn't this the man who often comes to the house to eat? Although he is the strongest in theory in the same period, he has always been very low-key, and he has no ambition to be promoted to politics, and he looks quite easy-going with a smile. Although she later learned that Ulysses was the most comprehensive performance appraisal officer for several years, Ulysses would always have the impression of being an "easy-going good old man" in her eyes.

I still remember the most rebellious part of her teenage years, when she shaved a big bald scoop and deliberately angered her parents, just went out from the room to eat, and sat next to the guest under the angry gaze of her brother, this guy squirted a sip of red wine on her bare head. The worst thing was that she was out in the wild every day with several gentlemen, and she had just hit her lip ring and tongue nails, and she snorted as soon as the red wine came into contact with a new wound.

Ulysses helped her wipe it out of "politeness", and as a result, under the gaze of the table full of richly dressed guests, and some of the guests who came on a blind date, the large bald head of the marriageable lady of the Sade family became more and more ...... under the brilliant lights of the parlor and the constant wiping and polishing The light is full of light.

Rumors of "Lilith Sade is a bit of a brutalist" soon spread across the country, and the coming-of-age ball successfully sounded the death knell for her in the local high society initiative.

However, from the day of the beating, Ulysses still called her bald every time he saw her, and wanted to give her a precept, so that she was forced to grow her hair long.

Ulysses was a little lacking in virtue, but she liked his dogs. It is said that no one can touch it except him, but every time she sees her and his brother, she lies down and scratches her stomach and pats her head, and there is no rumored violentness at all - which directly leads to her dream since she was a child is to have a pet, although she is rejected by her brother and the elders of the family every time.

Except for the period when she dissected the physiology of the white rats she raised by herself for the first time, Lilith has firmly refused to be trained in animal cruelty since she became sensible - which also made her family more sure that she is a defective product with too many feelings. However, because her own quality is not the best offspring, the elders did not intend to let her take on a lot of responsibilities, so she was not embarrassed by starving a few times and closed up a few times.

“…… Let the weak waste go with her. They said.

It's always been like this.

Since childhood, no matter how hard they try, their brother and Lilith are waste in the eyes of their elders. This kind of education method gradually changed after her brother began to emerge, she was still the "waste", and even became more and more disobedient to discipline and became weaker and more degenerate, and the attention of the whole family was focused on the older brother with greater potential.

She could tell that the admiration of the people around her was partly due to the desire to get closer to her family, and the fact that she considered herself a hopeless waste - her childhood friends had also been screened and alienated under the control of her elders, so although she often stood in the middle of nowhere, Lilith always had the illusion that "I am still alone".

Stone, Momiji, Four and Thirteen were stunned to see her climbing, and the first time she said something like "That's amazing" to her, it was the first time she heard someone praise her from the bottom of their hearts.

That sentence is powerful, not to praise "Miss Sade", but to praise her Lilith.

And the stones still don't realize that their simple unintentional words have such a great meaning to her.

"Won't anyone worry if you don't go back so late?" Stone watched Lilith staring at the ceiling in a daze, her elbow touching her.

Lilith shook her head, "If I die outside, I guess it won't be a long time before someone finds my body." ”

The stone was so startled by these words that he almost jumped up: "...... No, we'll find ......"

Halfway through his words, he realized that it was not appropriate to say this, which was equivalent to affirming Lilith's own unlucky words such as "dying outside", and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Lilith smiled heartily, "Just kidding! ”

After that, her eyes rolled around, and the young man beside her was a little restless, as if there was not a chair sitting under her buttocks, but a cactus, and the eyes that couldn't hide her thoughts were always glancing in the same direction, and it was difficult to open her mouth in her eyes. When asked, sure enough, he asked her why she hadn't gone home because the gladiatorial arena was about to start, and he wanted to see it.

Lilith thought to herself that since she had run away from home and left, she was injured and injured, and it was estimated that she would have to go back with two little leopards after a while, and she would have to be beaten both horizontally and vertically, but it was just a matter of whether she was beaten badly or not. Therefore, instead of just going back and being beaten, it is better to follow your friends to the gladiatorial arena to have a look, and open your eyes - although you can be happy if you come out with blood mold, you can at least be happy.

The medical bills were paid, and she was still wrapped in bloody bandages and followed the stones to the retro Colosseum-style megastructure.

The huge gladiatorial arena was built in imitation of the Colosseum of ancient Rome, and every brick and tile was completely restored in accordance with the proportions of the building, standing magnificently in the wilderness, the sunset, the golden red sunset shined through the cracks of the boulders, and there was a desolate and tragic beauty.

I don't know if it's due to the popularization of VR technology, most people who buy tickets watch the live broadcast, which can not only enjoy the immersive senses without leaving home, but also not afraid of blood splashing on the face, Lilith easily bought a seat.

She sat quietly and waited for a while, and saw Stone in the distance come by with a huge popcorn bucket in one hand, and the two of them stuffed popcorn into their mouths while chatting about the popular gladiator. Before the official start of the official start, the surrounding people arrived one after another, and the Colosseum, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, can be said to be almost full. There were several waves of spectators who had borrowed to find seats around the two, and when they were a little irritable, they only heard a slightly embarrassed voice from the man, "Excuse me, excuse me." ”

Lilith looked up and saw a man holding a child and his female companion standing to their right.

"You might be sitting in the wrong place, right?" The man was squeezed around by the bustling people, and his head and face were sweaty, but he asked politely when he looked at the little girl in front of him with injuries on her body.

Lilith had her mouth full of popcorn and held up her ticket: "Here we are, 176 and 177." ”

The man looked at the ticket in the little girl's hand and cried and laughed: "We too...... Wait, your 'ticket' shouldn't be the audience's ticket, right? Our tickets are all golden, and yours should be the number plate for the players. ”

Hearing this, the popcorn in the stone's mouth squirted out like a shotgun, scourging the back of the heads of the entire row of spectators in front of them.

So after the stone's repeated confirmation, Lilith took the "ticket" in her hand, which was actually the entry ticket, and went directly from the spectator to the contestant with him, and entered the cellar to prepare for the competition.

"Eldest sister, I thought you wouldn't have a problem buying a ticket." Stone looked at the short girl next to him who was still injured with a bitter face - he had just wanted to watch the game quietly after hunting a few hours ago, but now the two of them were next to the fence and one of them was about to sign a "life and death exemption certificate" in his hand.

Lilith signed and handed it to the staff, scratching her head, "I mean, why are there so few people in the window line over there, and it turns out to be a contestant...... Ouch ......"

Stone handed over the agreement, ignoring that Lilith was wounded, and slapped her on the back of the head.

In order to prevent the players from escaping, the gates of the gladiatorial arena are locked after the start of the game, and they can not be reopened until all the matches are over - Lilith and the stone searched for several rounds but did not find a similar emergency exit, but because they touched the anti-escape mechanism, they also electrocuted an explosive head - so the two unlucky gladiators in history were still chased to the shelves, and the explosive heads were ready to be put on the shelf.

Lilith was worried that she would kill her brother before she died in battle, so she consciously took 176 and honestly ranked first.

“…… Next, let's invite player No. 176 to play! The No. 176 player is a newcomer, and I don't know how long it will take for the No. 85 player to lose the battle after winning ten consecutive games......

The voice of the announcer on the radio resounded throughout the audience.

Lilith sighed, endured the pain of the flesh wound on her shoulder tearing again, and pulled out the weapon she had brought with her back from her optically invisible marching bag with her backhand. She originally carried this bag as a weight-bearing training, and of course she also brought weapons or something, but she didn't mention it to even a friend who was familiar with Shishi. And because she was not familiar with the people around her except for stones, she did not remove the stealth setting of the marching bag, and the people around her only felt as if she had pulled out a slender scimitar with a curve out of the air.

Lilith's knife was shaped like a crescent moon, about two arms long, and the alloy blade shimmered in the cold light of the cellar fire. She pulled out another part from her bag, skillfully installed it in the back-to-bottom position of the knife, and knocked it to open it to the metal handle that connected the two ends of the blade, and the whole knife looked very strange, without any visible traces of metal joints.

The heavy, rusty fence slowly rises.

The last game was over, and the crowd outside was extremely enthusiastic about No. 85, who was standing in a circle in the arena and signaling to everyone, cheering and cheering one after another—No. 85 chose the option of deathmatch because he was quite conceited about his ability. Most of the people outside the satellite cities are martial arts, and they are in a competition for survival in all sorts of ways, and seeing blood and one-sided killings is like a stimulant.

The audience was crowded. Countless pairs of eyes watched as the next sacrifice to 85 walked into the field, and Lilith only heard the cheers and praises for the strong man mixed with a lot of disappointed boos as her seemingly weak wounded man walked in.

However, she has long been accustomed to the "waste" blow in her family's mouth, and just silently moves her neck and shoulders in the corner, stretching her muscles and veins to prepare for the fight.

The red-eyed No. 85 was a little disappointed when he saw a small girl wrapped in bandages, dropped the machete he had cut and beckoned his assistant to hand over a new knife.

Although he had long known that Lilith was extraordinary, and concentration was the essence, the stone looked at No. 85 outside through the fence, and still frowned slightly.

Number 85 is taller than Stone's brother, more than two meters tall, and two heads taller than Lilith. Scar's body is in the dark, which is different from the robbers Lilith faced before, and he is a master who often fights in close combat. His muscles are strong, the muscles of his chest and back are as hard as a rock, his throat, subribs, and other weaker parts of the body have been illegally modified, and his skin is branded with a lumpy exoskeleton that looks a bit like a cyborg version of Frankenstein.

Lilith quickly swept around the man.

There are no overt Chimera experimental modified features (animal/non-human limbs) on the body, only an exoskeleton welded/branded...... I guess it would have been easier if she hadn't been injured, but now the pain in her shoulder, which burns all the time, may be much slower than usual. Although both were assassins, unlike her brother's individual assassination and hand-to-hand combat, Lilith's weapons were better suited for medium-range/close-range combat. The curved blade not only blows hair and breaks hair, but also has very little resistance from the sharp blade, which is extremely suitable to make up for her own weaker muscle strength compared to other Chimera, but the nature of its expanded attack range was originally designed to assist her brother in combat, and it was designed to quickly clear miscellaneous soldiers, and it was not suitable for such one-on-one combat.

In terms of physical strength and the nature of weapons, whether it is a protracted battle or a stalemate war, she will definitely suffer in the long run.

Seeing that the other party was also in a position and ready to fight quickly, Lilith decisively decided to try to see if she could bluff him psychologically first, and see if she could surrender without a fight.

In order to allow the farthest viewers to see clearly, and at the same time live broadcast, the huge screen is centered on the battlefield, and the small screens on both sides are zoomed in to capture the subtle movements of the players.

At the end of the day, Caesar Sade rubbed his temples wearily on the couch with a glass of wine, and today's gladiatorial match played on the huge retro screen of the home theater. In order to recruit a new smelting officer, and at the same time afraid that his wife would not like such bloody competitive sports, Ulysses often went to the bachelor Caesar's house with wine and snacks to watch the gladiatorial match, and from the beginning of today's game, he began to babble with Caesar, who was almost asleep, about how strong today's No. 85 was.

Exhausted and suffering from insomnia, Caesar was so close to falling asleep in Ulysses' hypnotic nagging that he could almost reach out and touch Zhou Gong's sneakers for the elderly.

“…… Don't sleep! Ulysses slapped Kiyo on the thigh with a heavy palm.

Caesar's hazy and beautiful sleepiness was shattered by this guy's crit, and he was so angry that he picked up his wine glass and slapped it on the face of the eldest brother next to him, and came out with an iron head to break the tempered glass.

“…… Look for death, you! ”

Ulysses wiped the glass slag off his face, and his eyes widened like brass bells, "......&#@%!" Do you take a closer look at who's on the field right now? ”

Caesar looked at it with his half-asleep eyes open, and immediately refreshed.

The magnified face on the screen, two green, evil, feline-like eyes, with a six-point similar silhouette to himself, and dark blonde hair all stood up like fried hair in the simulated firelight, and there was no wind to automatic.

The waste of the Sade family stood in the arena, his throat bulging, and he let out a deafening chirp at the man in front of her, who was as tall as a hill. This voice was not amplified by the radio, but it could still be resounded in the gladiatorial arena where tens of thousands of people were sitting, and the cheers and boos of the surrounding audience stopped instantly, and only the dragon groan in the chest of the villain in the night wind remained.

After winning a streak overnight, No. 85, who was in the limelight, obviously did not expect the short girl in front of him to make such a sound, and was slightly shocked.

As the heart-wrenching whistle stopped, Lilith looked defiantly at Number 85 not far from her. The roar had almost exhausted her lung capacity, and her eyes were very congested due to the sudden rise in intraocular pressure, and the bloodshot green eyes were firmly fixed on her opponent.

Since No. 85 entered the gladiatorial arena, he had seen thousands of opponents, and these eyes made him feel a rare fear.

No matter how strong and cold-blooded most of the opponents are, they are all flesh-and-blood people, and they can see feelings and the kind of indescribable, born to be human in their eyes - he has only seen such a few times with such eyes, and every time he sees such three white eyes that have no emotion but obsession, and can see the whites of the eyes below, without exception, let him hover on the edge of life and death.

That's the eye of a predator.

His eardrums and brain were still affected by the sound made by the girl just now, and there was some buzzing echo, but he still raised the giant shield and machete in his hand, and immediately took a defensive posture.

Lilith's attack was only in the time he could see, and by the time he could figure out how to block, the strange halberd-like and sickle-like weapon in the child's hand had already attached itself to the place where the exoskeleton and muscles connected to his chest, cutting through his flesh and slashing diagonally upwards towards his heart.

Luckily, he reacted relatively quickly, and immediately stepped back a little, plus the girl's weapon was arc-shaped, and her own strength was not deep enough, and it was still a little distance from his heart and lungs - if he reacted half a second slower, the girl's blade would have pierced his lungs, at least a hole in his lungs.

No. 85 broke out in a cold sweat and quickly slammed the girl to the side with a heavy shield.

Lilith was slapped to the side by a huge shield that weighed about her weight, and flew at high speed towards the stone wall at the edge of the gladiatorial arena like a squash ball hit by a racket - if her body was similar to that of other players and had not been modified, such a powerful slap would probably break several of her ribs, and even the broken bones could have been seriously injured if they were pierced directly into the chest. (In fact, if she had been a little bit like a stone and looked at the players' records before she came, she should have seen the number 85 hit and kill her opponents several times in this way, but Lilith was extremely stingy with her energy on things she wasn't very interested in.) But although most of her skin and flesh are still original, her muscles and bones have been strengthened many times, so directly to the stone wall, it is only the surface of the skin or something, it looks like it has been hit badly, and the micro shock-absorbing airbag inside the dermis has been activated, and she has not suffered much substantial damage.

The impact of that crash was much stronger than the blow of the 85th's shield.

In order to assassinate the members of the Sade family, Lilith took the place of her brother in the passenger seat of the car that had no airbags on her hands and feet, and in order to reduce the impact of the impact, she subconsciously pressed her hands against the dashboard with her hands, and she was still crushed into flesh from the palm to the shoulder. The last image she saw before she fainted due to severe pain was a bundle of steel bars at the rear of the vehicle in front of her, sliding down from the back of the car following a huge inertia, penetrating her body, and nailing her directly to the saddle.
