Chapter 237—Asgard and the Book of Wisdom (6)
Winter in Paris is cold and sunny, and the sycamores that have lost their leaves look like lifeless sculptures against the blue sky. Cheng Mo led Xie Yun lightly over the low green bushes, like a pony jumping over an obstacle. Two swift foals burst into the crowded street, like little monsters that have broken into a school of sardines......
"Stop!" the policeman's shout came from the direction of the warehouse, and the two policemen, one tall and one strong, pulled out their batons from their waists, ignoring the two black men lying on the ground, and chased after Cheng Mo and Xie Yun. And the two black men also quickly got up and ran in the other direction, but the direction they ran in was not in the opposite direction, but went to the other end to chase Cheng Mo and Xie Yun.
The flashing police lights not far away emitted a terrible siren, and the horn on the roof of the car issued an even more severe warning, telling Cheng Mo and Xie Yun to stop quickly. All kinds of noise exploded suddenly, and people scattered like frightened fish, dodging a few people who seemed to be staging a police and bandit chase scene.
"What's going on?" Xie Yun asked calmly, although she was running at high speed, her breathing was not chaotic at all, as if she was taking a walk.
"They are not French police. In his busy schedule, Cheng Mo also glanced back at a few French policemen who were chasing after him, at this moment they had already thrown away the bowler top hats they wore on their heads, and they all walked like flies, faster than Bolt, but the running posture was slightly strange, not like humans, but more like machines......
Hearing the heavy footsteps of "click" behind her, Xie Yun also noticed the abnormality, she has always been responsible for her security, coupled with her noble status, she has never needed to pay attention to security issues like Cheng Mo, so she is far less sensitive to security issues than Cheng Mo, and she is not too nervous and flustered when she suddenly had an accident at this moment, but asked curiously: "How do you know that they are not police?"
"I'll talk about this later....." Cheng Mo replied hurriedly. He had already noticed the black man who was walking around to the end of the market not far away and trying to block them, and saw that the crowd in front of him was too dense, and before he had time to disperse, Cheng Mo pulled Xie Yun to suddenly turn left and ran into the back of a small truck selling barbecue, the small truck was backed by a green iron fence more than two meters high, and on the other side was a residential community.
At this time, there was a little white fat man stuck between the pickup truck and the vendor selling matchboxes, he was eating with a pizza wrapped in barbecue, there was still red sauce on the corner of his mouth, it was obvious that he had entered the state of a sage who did not like things and did not feel sorry for himself, all the disturbances in the outside world had nothing to do with him, all he cared about was the food in his mouth, but the sudden appearance of Xie Yun and Cheng Mo disturbed his eating, he opened his big round eyes and watched Cheng Mo and Xie Yun about to collide one after the other, opened his mouth and wanted to scream, but he was choked by the barbecue and couldn't make a sound。
A gust of wind blew his golden pot lid, and .....the barbecue meat in the hand of the little fat man fell to the ground in fright.
Cheng Mo took the lead in jumping over the head of the little fat man with a high guardrail, and directly reached out to grab the sharp arrow at the top of the guardrail, and then he stepped on the guardrail with both feet, and jumped over as soon as he boarded, with a very handsome action like parkour.
However, the carrier Xie Yun was even more powerful, and she stood directly on the sharp arrow of the green iron fence with a slight jump, she did not jump down immediately, but turned back to the little fat man and said: "rruption!" (sorry to interrupt you)
Before the little fat man with a mouthful of oil stains could answer, Xie Yun had already jumped off the fence and disappeared into the gray building on the other side. The little fat man swallowed the food in his mouth, looked down at the "barbecue" at his feet, and muttered, "I have to tell Steve that I saw Spider-Woman ...... in Paris," and then he smirked and shook his head, "No..... I must have been dazzled....."
The little fat man stared at the pizza roast wrapped in wrapper, swallowed his saliva, and said to himself: "It's still edible, it didn't fall to the ground anyway." He bent down to grab the wrapper of the barbecue and was about to pick it up when he felt a figure rush past his back, followed by a loud sound of "bang!"
The little fat man was frightened and fell directly to the ground with the scones, and when he turned his head, he saw a tall man in a French police uniform knocking a hole in the iron fence and rushing straight over, and then another policeman rushed over his head......
The little fat man opened his mouth wide: "Is this making a movie? Marvel or DC? It must be Marvel, maybe that beautiful sister just now is the new heroine of "Shangqi"!" He jumped up excitedly and shouted, "I said that Marvel couldn't choose such an ugly woman as the heroine!"
This time, the scones in his hand could no longer be saved, and they were planted upside down on the concrete floor.....
Cheng Mo led Xie Yun to run wildly along the corner of the residential building, "The sound of bullets cutting through the air is like sunlight sifting through the cracks in the shade, and countless bullet holes are shot out of the marble wall in an instant.
Cheng Mo pulled Xie Yun and turned the corner, but the other party seemed to occupy a very high position, and the bullet followed him, and immediately shot in front of Cheng Mo, fortunately, Cheng Mo was focused enough, let go of the hand holding Xie Yun, rolled on the spot, and dodged a wave of bullets in front of him.
Xie Yun immediately rushed in front of Cheng Mo, and just as he was about to open the shield, he heard Cheng Mo who stood up whisper: "Don't open the energy shield until you have to, let them know that you are not a carrier and can use skills, and it will be a big trouble....."
The sound of mechanical footsteps approached again, and Cheng Mo and Xie Yun didn't have time to discuss more, and continued to run forward, with a main road in front of them, and many cars were speeding by.
"Rush out into the street first. Cheng Mo said.
However, before Cheng Mo's words fell, the two black men who were kicked down by Xie Yun appeared and blocked the exit between the two residential buildings, and they quickly took out their pistols, pointed at Cheng Mo and Xie Yun and said, "don't ....."
Xie Yun didn't wait for the other party to say the word "move" and rushed towards the two people blocking the way like lightning, the fire flashed, the gunshots rang out, Xie Yun flew through the passage like a butterfly through a flower, and arrived in front of the two black men, the same horizontal kick, but this time he did not choose to attack the chest mercilessly, but kicked the other party's throat.
However, the other party was not kicked so easily this time, the black man on the left waved his arm to try to block, "bang", the sound of metal impact exploded, it was obvious that the other party was wearing a simple exoskeleton, but the exoskeleton could not resist Xie Yun, who had been genetically modified by God. The two men collided together in an instant, and fell to the ground together.
At this time, Cheng Mo also rushed over, flew up and kicked the gun in the opponent's hand directly like a shot, the other party snorted miserably, grabbed his hand and curled up on the ground. Another black man, seeing that the situation was not good, bounced up from a low voice, but was immediately kicked by Xie Yun and fell on the flower bed in front of the residential building.
The sound of rapid shooting and the trembling of the air came again, and Cheng Mo and Xie Yun could only continue to flee and rush onto the road, but the road where a few cars had passed just now was empty. Sirens sounded in all directions, and there was no doubt that the other party was well prepared, and had surrounded them, and was ready to catch turtles in the urn, but Jiang Jun, who was responsible for protecting them, was nowhere to be seen.
Xie Yun stood on the side of the road and glanced left and right, there was already a flickering police light in the distance, she immediately pressed the Taiji Dragon badge on her chest, turned her head to Cheng Mo and said, "As long as we can hold on for a while, someone will come over soon, or let's go and hide in the building for a while." ”
Cheng Mo lowered his head and pressed the three-dimensional map on the Ouroboros watch, only to see a circle of red phantoms around him, a circular encirclement was shrinking towards them, fortunately, there were no red dots representing the Chosen One around, he stared at the map and blurred his eyes, the other party did not send the Chosen One over at the first time in order to avoid startling the snake, but only sent an agent wearing an exoskeleton, but now the situation is not optimistic, even if the Taiji Dragon sends the Chosen One, it is likely that he will be stopped outside and not be able to pass.
Cheng Mo's mind was racing, the map of Paris unfolded in his mind, and immediately he remembered that this was the fourteenth arrondissement, the same area as the Paris Catacomies he had been to, and he stretched out his hand to pull Xie Yun across the road: "I know there should be a place to run away, come with me." ”
Cheng Mo climbed over the railing of the road, and Xie Yun also jumped over. The police cars driving side by side at both ends of the road also noticed Cheng Mo and Xie Yun who were forcibly crossing the road, so they began to accelerate, and the roar of the engine piled up on the long street like an angry tide, and many unknown people in the residential buildings opened the windows and saw countless riot policemen wearing helmets and fully armed with round shields.
Cheng Mo and Xie Yun desperately rushed across the road, but the sunroof of the police car slid open, and the gunman with a sniper rifle stood up from inside the car, and the red dots of the sight were all focused on Cheng Mo's body, but none of them were aimed at Xie Yun.
"Boom!Boom!" Countless blue lights chased the red dots and flew through the cold air, even if Cheng Mo and Xie Yun had already rushed into the buildings across the road at this time, the blue electric light did not give up the chase, and turned a corner in the air as if it had spirituality, hitting Cheng Mo directly.
"Be careful!" Xie Yun felt the fluctuations in the air in advance, she didn't hesitate to take a step behind, trying to stop those electric lights, but it was too late, and several beams of electric lights directly hit Cheng Mo, who was caught off guard.
Cheng Mo didn't expect that what looked like a sniper rifle actually fired an electric light that could track, and he suddenly felt paralyzed, unable to exert any strength, and threw himself straight towards the cobblestone pavement.
"Cheng Mo ......." Countless green smoke arose behind Xie Yun, and the smell of burnt clothes filled the air, but she didn't have time to worry so much, she grabbed Cheng Mo's collar between the electric lights and flints, pulled Cheng Mo back who almost fell to the ground, and at the same time copied Cheng Mo with a slight bow, hugged him horizontally to his chest, and ran quickly along the building towards the front.
"It's okay......" Cheng Mo, who was paralyzed, opened his eyes hard, he looked at Xie Yun's anxious face, and tried to twitch the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Fortunately, the other party's purpose is not to kill me..... It feels like being electrotherapized by Yang Yongxin..... Let me ..... slowly Right away. ”
Seeing that Cheng Mo could still joke, Xie Yun was a little relieved, she looked back, those police cars were already blocked on the side of the road, she carried Cheng Mo to the side of the four-story building, the white walls and dry branches formed an indifferent color, and the heavy footsteps "rumbled" over, like a tank pressing across the road.
Xie Yun stopped and said with a solemn face: "There are also people in front..... It seems that there is nowhere to run. ”
Sunshine didn't seem to know the danger in the world, and sprinkled a golden light on Xie Yun's white cheeks, Cheng Mo also forgot about the danger that was close at hand, he was in a trance, and whispered: "Aren't you able to fly, or you go first, and find a way to save me when the time comes!"
Xie Yun ignored Cheng Mo, but said undoubtedly: "No matter, even if it is revealed that I can use skills, I will not let them hurt your ....."
Cheng Mo, who had regained a little strength, smiled bitterly, and hurriedly reluctantly raised his hand to pull Xie Yun, and whispered, "Don't ......" He looked at the passage between the white four-story building and the other brown building, "Since this can only depend on our luck..... Go in that direction..... But you have to promise me that if you have to, you must run first....."
Xie Yun didn't answer, but just walked through the narrow gap between the two buildings like the wind.
Cheng Mo said intermittently in the bumps: "This direction is closer to the main road, it stands to reason that the fourteenth district is the old city, and there will be sewers under the main road...... When you get to the side of the main road, you can teleport to a random building, pretend to hide in the building, and then teleport into the sewer, and we will be saved as long as there is a sewer..... The sewers in District 14 are not only big enough, but also complex enough....."
At this time, Xie Yun had already carried Cheng Mo through the passage and entered a triangular courtyard surrounded by a four-story building, with a few sycamore trees planted in the yard, and green benches and tables under the sycamore trees. This is probably the office building of a certain company, because it is Sunday, so no one is working, and the whole building is unusually silent, so the sirens outside are very loud, like a spell to kill.
"Just go into this building..... Wait a minute, you go into a room and see if it's the main road outside....." Cheng Mo said.
"Hmm!" Xie Yun nodded.
Footsteps could be heard in the passage behind him, and the sound of mechanical movement "clicking", and several people in French police uniforms were crawling along the walls, quickly towards the top of the small white and brown building.
Xie Yun hugged Cheng Mo and ran towards the triangle building, although it doesn't matter if the entrance is not here, it is the same as having a window. She jumped over the bench in front of her, then put her feet on the back of the chair and broke through the lattice window like a bird, followed by the sound of glass shattering, followed by the sound of gunfire like fried beans, and the round projectiles with little lethality filled the entire office-like room in an instant.
Xie Yun didn't mean to dodge at all, kicked the wooden door of the office, and rushed into the corridor, opposite the room with a closed door, Xie Yun glanced left and right, and immediately ran towards the staircase with Cheng Mo in his arms.
Cheng Mo raised his wrist and looked at the map and said, "It's okay, they didn't move fast, they just entered the building......"
"Hmm!" Xie Yun said expressionlessly, there was not a drop of sweat on her face, this amount of exercise was nothing to her, in fact, if it wasn't for Cheng Mo, it would be very easy for her to get out of the encirclement, but she couldn't leave Cheng Mo behind, Xie Yun hugged Cheng Mo and climbed the stairs in three steps and two steps, and when he reached the second floor, Xie Yun was a little full of steps, so that he tried not to make a sound. Soon the entire building echoed with the sound of messy footsteps and slamming doors.
Xie Yun cautiously went up to the third floor again, found an office facing the street, and raised his foot to kick the door open, Cheng Mo hurriedly whispered: "Wait a minute..... He took out his wallet from his jacket pocket with difficulty, and laboriously took out the wire from the wallet, "Help me, let me open it..... Can't break the door, try to delay a little time....."
Xie Yun put Cheng Mo down, held his arm with one hand, looked back vigilantly in the direction of the staircase, she had already heard faint footsteps, Xie Yun lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming..... You have to hurry. ”
Cheng Mo didn't answer, tremblingly inserted the wire into the keyhole, and began to concentrate on the marbles inside, beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down from the corners of his forehead, and smashed on his trembling hands one by one, Cheng Mo's mind couldn't all focus on unlocking, because he still had to desperately control his body and make himself stand firm, he felt for the first time how important it was to be able to move freely.
Xie Yun didn't urge him, but the sound of clearly audible footsteps was urging him. The footsteps clearly told him that a group of people had gone to the second floor, a group was heading towards the third floor, and there was also a sound of broken windows on the fourth floor, and it seemed that the people who had begun to climb to the roof had also arrived.
The footsteps were getting closer and louder, Cheng Mo forced himself to forget everything, forget the uncontrollable emptiness inside his body, as if life was passing, he closed his eyes and stopped his movements slightly, Cheng Mo took a deep breath and opened his eyes again, as if he could no longer hear any sound, and devoted himself wholeheartedly.
At this time, he entered a strange realm, as if he was not facing a life-and-death situation, but just a relatively important exam. Cheng Mo's brain became more and more calm, he completely blocked out other noisy sounds from his senses, and only the crisp sound of wire and marbles in his mind was in his mind.
"As long as it's an exam, it's not difficult for me!I'm the god of exams!" Cheng Mo thought to himself, "Click~!" Just when the two teams on the second and fourth floors turned the corner of the stairs and headed towards the third floor at the same time, Cheng Mo twisted the door open.
This twist seemed to exhaust all of Cheng Mo's spirit, and he involuntarily leaned close to Xie Yun's side.
Xie Yun immediately helped Cheng Mo, who looked like a cripple, into the room, and at the same time gently closed the door with his backhand. Then she hugged Cheng Mo horizontally again and walked to the window. Downstairs was filled with sirens, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang" slamming on the door came from the hallway. Xie Yun glanced downstairs, and there were police cars with police lights on both sides of the road.
"I didn't see the manhole cover. ”
"It stands to reason that this is not far from the catacombs, so there must be a sewer under this road. Cheng Mo said weakly, he had exhausted his strength by unlocking the lock just now, and now he was talking like he was overdrawing his life.
"Is that under the sidewalk on the left, or under the sidewalk on the right, or under the road?" Xie Yun asked.
Cheng Mo closed his eyes and whispered: "I remember that from the Renaissance to the French Revolution, the roads in France were paved with stones, and the road was inclined to the middle, and the rain could flow into the sewers.... So you'll have to see if the road is super sloping in the middle....."
Although the sound of footsteps and the sound of slamming the door was getting closer and closer, Xie Yun didn't seem to be too afraid, she looked at Cheng Mo, who was resting his head on her shoulder, and smiled and said: "I remembered when you said that, the sewers built by Napoleon after that have vaults and entrances, and the current sewers are very similar, Hugo once wrote about the sewers in Paris in "Les Miserables", so generally speaking, the entrance is on the sidewalk, but the sewer is under the road....."
At this time, the sound of breaking the door and shaking the building were already trembling footsteps, and Cheng Mo whispered: "It's a pity that it's too late to ask Napoleon VII now, I can only hope that Hugo didn't scribble......"
