Chapter 17: The Black Flower in Bloom
- Who would have thought that the brave man would go out shopping and have a meal, only to raise his head and bump into the Great Demon King of the World?
This is the first time Russell has used Alice's vest seriously, and something happened immediately!
The only good news is that because Delphinium's makeup technique is really good, it masks most of the features...... In addition, "Alice" is too young, there is still a slight probability that she will be recognized as "ultramarine of women's clothing".
β¦β¦ That's really just a little bit. It can only be called a "fluke heart".
Or a better possibility, the Delphinium did not alarm the chairman of the Selun.
After all, many people know that Delphinium likes to use cyber avatars to wander around the entire Happy Island and run along the camera when they have nothing to do. It is not uncommon to suddenly turn to the area where Chairman Sailun is located......
After all, that's all they can hope for!
But what made Russell breathe a sigh of relief was that at least when the delphinch's consciousness returned to his body, the other party had not immediately chased it back.
But you can't stay any longer.
The delphinium didn't eat a bite of pizza, and they were about to pack up and leave. Pizza that has already been served cannot be wasted...... At the same time, in order not to look too suspicious, Russell endured the uneasiness in his heart and asked the boss to pack it, saying that he was "going to take it back to eat".
They took a taxi and prepared to go home as soon as possible.
Of course, whether it is Alice or Delphinium, their faces are full of lightness. However, they clasped hands tightly to give each other courage...... At the same time, keep an eye on the surroundings to be alert to any crisis.
But for some reason, the more anxious and the time is pressing, the more likely it is to have an accident......
Their car was stopped less than two intersections after it had just started.
It's not that it's the pursuers on Sairon's side.
β but a shootout.
Yes, shootout - on the island of Happiness, where guns are completely banned and can be sentenced to death if you possess a firearm, at noon, there are two groups of people shooting at the crossroads!
One of the people in the group had a cloth on their faces, and they couldn't see their identities clearly. But they all had automatic weapons in their hands, and someone directly used psionic energy to open a shield of light.
And the other group of people, Russell happened to know ......
That's "Bigg" and "Lone Wolf"!
When Russell was the "godfather", he knew two mercenaries!
It's not so much a shootout as they are being hunted down.
They scurryed around the traffic, trying to hide their presence from the vehicles they were using to get around.
But the group over there, each with a submachine gun in their hand, did not hesitate to shoot at them!
In the frightened screams of passers-by, the vehicles blocking in front of the two were swept away without hesitation!
The glass was shattered, the metal was dented, and there were bullet marks. Some people huddle in the body, trying to find a way out; Some people were seriously injured in the car, and some people wanted to abandon the car and flee in panic, but as soon as they got out of the car, they were directly knocked to the ground by the metal storm!
Blood, glass shards, projectiles.
The smoke and exhaust fumes were mixed together, and the shrill screams and exclamations could not drown out the sound of their gunfire.
And because of the sense of fear, almost all the cars at the entire intersection began to run around. After the loss of order, several car accidents were induced at once.
The gang carried heavy firearms and shouted in a shrill voice, "Greetings to the Brokers, mercenary gentlemen!"
"- Thank you for your business support to the rich, it's time to pay off the debt!"
The taxi that Alice and Delphinium were riding was also hit in the reverse traffic.
The car spun and slid out, and they fell straight to the left side of the back seat. Mr. Driver, with his horns and strong arms, worked hard to keep the steering wheel from completely losing control.
"Fuck, those Brokers are crazy, aren't they!?"
In order to soothe his fears, the driver cursed loudly and incessantly, and honked his horn frantically.
Alice frowned.
She couldn't help it anymore.
It wasn't just to save the two boysβthey had sworn to follow the godfather, who was the godfather's descendant and the true middle of the Brokerage.
She also wants to clean up this ridiculous chaotic scene, so that people can calm down and restore order.
They also want to directly punish those who use drastic means to imitate the Brokers...... Take revenge on the passers-by who were attacked and strafed by them for no apparent reason!
- But now she is not ultramarine.
She's Alice.
If you shoot in this form, it means that the possibility of placing the delphinium on the fire rack and roasting it will greatly increase the possibility of the delphinium being exposed.
But if you transform in the car...... What about the driver master who witnessed all this? What about the video evidence left in the streets?
ββ¦β¦ Go as you want. β
The delphinium squeezed Alice's hand hard.
Her gaze was resolute and calm: "'I can't turn a blind eye to this'...... Right.
"That's what I thought too."
The crane orchid behind her was activated.
Delphinium and Russell are the same kind of people.
She could understand Russell's anxiety at the moment.
It's more important than maintaining one's identity β stopping at all costs those who are slowly moving forward and constantly sweeping the streets!
"Why don't you take me one?"
"-Okay."
Alice took a deep breath and prepared to turn back into Russell the moment she opened the car door.
But at this moment, Delphinium suddenly grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her back from the car door with one hand.
"Wait a minute!"
She said urgently, "Look over there! β
I saw a man in a black robe and covering his eyes with a black cloth, and suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
His painting style is very different from the whole world around him -
The black robe he was wearing looked like it had a touch of quaint charm, and it didn't belong to the clothing style of any of the seven empty islands.
And the black straps he tied around his eyes didn't seem to have any technological elements.
Her long black hair hung down to her back, fluttering wildly as she ran.
Behind him, two huge brown-black wings flapped, making him look like an angel with black wings.
Russell noticed that his hands ......
ββ¦β¦ That is, metal sword? β
He was stunned.
It's not psionic arming, it's not a stun fenc, a cutting sword, a chainsaw, or a gun.
It's a mediocre iron sword.
It's like an ancient swordsman, and like a samurai of the last century.
Just alone, he launched a decisive charge against the battle array with submachine guns.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down in Russell's eyes.
I've got to help himβ
Russell was meant to say that.
He had almost blurted out the words.
But the moment he saw the man's back, he felt a wave of seasonal movement.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity, as well as a premonition......
made him dumbfounded, his expression froze, and he was directly frozen in place.
The next moment, he saw a miracle -
I don't know if it's psionic power, or magic, or the power of holy rank.
The man swung his sword from afar, and a black hurricane rolled up!
The remnant of the blade like a black hurricane deflected all the bullets that came from it!
The roaring black storm was like another huge, invisible sword, and the aftermath blew the surrounding cars and moved slightly.
And those people were blown away by the hurricane in an instant, and their weapons came out of their hands. Everyone scattered and flew away, hitting the car or tumbling and falling into the distance.
Only one person was left alone.
It was the psionic who held up the shield with one hand and parried the bullets fired by the two mercenaries.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he shrunk his shield to protect himself alone, barely allowing the Storm Sword to be blown away.
"What ...... are you?"
The question has not yet been issued.
The man who hadn't stopped charging staggered past the man.
At the moment of passing by, he slashed out a sword again in silence.
A thunderous return slash slashed the man's head with just one sword!
The wings behind him were wide open, and they looked like black flowers in full bloom.
Blood gushes straight upwards like a spring that defies gravity and gushes straight upwards.
Nothing has to be explained.
Don't be afraid of anything.
The blade of the sword in the man's hand is the answer.
That's when it happened.
It was as if he had seen something......
The man wearing the blindfold looked in Russell's direction from a distance.
