Chapter 393: A Grand Welcome Ceremony
The hallway was dilapidated, smoky, and gloomy.
In the darkness, the two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense, like a tense string.
The killing intent spread silently, like an invisible knife, clashing in the corridor.
"Masked Geek, you can't kill me, why are you staying here?"
Frank pretended to be surprised, pretending to be curious: "Why don't you get out of here?" Don't you value your time very much? What are you doing standing here posing? β
He's a good bait and knows how to provoke the fish in front of him.
However, Su Xia's face was indifferent, and his eyes didn't even change, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all.
At this moment, the entire space took shape in Su Xia's mind.
According to his senses, there was a small room at the back of the hallway, and there was no way back from there, only thick reinforced concrete walls remained.
How can I use this terrain?
Pushing the other side into a corner?
Su Xia thought about it for a while, if he attacked head-on, he would not be able to break through the joint blockade of the wheelchair man and the woman in black at all, and he had to keep watch out for the other party's mental attack, which was quite passive.
Maybe......
Should we distance ourselves and create chaos?
In long-range combat, he has the advantage of controlling all available metal objects around him, constantly suppressing the wheelchair man and the woman in black, so as to find an opportunity to kill Frank.
After killing him, he fled thousands of miles, leaving the two men behind, leaving Conch City, and returning all the way back to Coral City.
"Masked Monster, you're a very smart man." The wheelchair man suddenly spoke, "This corridor is too narrow and too quiet for you to use all your abilities, and now your best choice is to completely destroy this corridor and create chaos to win from chaos." β
He actually made a suggestion to Su Xia, and this suggestion coincided with Su Xia's thoughts.
I have to say that this person knows Su Xia quite well.
He had read all the information about Su Xia, knew almost all the details of Su Xia's actions, and could even bring in Su Xia himself and think about what Su Xia was thinking about every time he acted.
And the problem now is that Susha doesn't know much about the wheelchair man.
The only information he could get was the staccato lines in the character descriptions.
This puts him in a very bad position.
"Looks like you've been preparing for me for a long time." Su Xia looked at the wheelchair man calmly and spoke.
"Yes."
The wheelchair man nodded lightly and replied, "The moment you escaped the blockade of the Fish Scale City Mech, I started studying you, unfortunately, we shouldn't have been rivals." β
His tone was sincere, without any sense of deception.
It seems that, in his opinion, he and Su Xia really shouldn't be rivals, but should work together.
"Fish Scale City?"
Susha captured a small detail.
In this way, from that time on, the wheelchair man judged that the Zero Tavern in the southwest region could not deal with Su Xia.
This person is quite familiar with the strength of this area, and most of them can accurately determine the specific strength of each branch, and even the ability and personality of each person, which requires a lot of brain power.
The man in the wheelchair rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was in some pain, and his body looked very weak.
He endured the discomfort, his voice was still smooth and soft, and said to Su Xia: "Masked monster, we met too late, otherwise, we shouldn't be opponents as soon as we meet." β
"Why, do you still want to sit down with me and talk?" Su Xia asked him, "I'm very picky about my friends, you can't do it." β
"Well, that's right."
He nodded, and actually agreed with Su Xia's statement.
Later, he added, "I know, you would love to kill Frank. β
"Yes." Susha didn't hide it.
"You also know very well that Frank is our bait."
"Yes."
"But, tonight is your only chance to kill him." The wheelchair man said slowly.
He was right, and even Su Xia had nothing to refute.
Because now, the only thing that protects Frank is the power of the local tavern branch in Conch City, plus some of the manpower carried by the wheelchair man himself.
After tonight, the world will know that the masked monster is in Conch City.
After that, there will be more and more reinforcements from the Zero Tavern Branch in various places, gradually turning the local Tavern Branch into a fortress of death, and even a few more Susha will not be able to attack it.
As the man said, if Susha couldn't kill Frank tonight, then he wouldn't have a chance again.
"Masked Geek, you have another choice." The wheelchair man said suddenly.
"What's the choice, come back to the tavern with you?" Su Xia asked indifferently.
"Yes."
"It's not a good choice."
"But this choice can save your life."
"I don't need anyone else to protect my life." Su Xia could vaguely guess what the wheelchair man wanted to say next, but he refused directly and did not ask for details.
Now that the Zero Tavern is clearly determined to kill him, a bounty has been issued to the entire world.
And the man in the wheelchair said that as long as he went back to the tavern with him, Su Xia would be able to save his life.
What does this mean?
The masked monster is definitely still going to die, but Susha under the mask can survive, which is what the wheelchair man means.
However, if you want to achieve this kind of ending, it will inevitably make Su Xia pay a great price, and it is very likely to be freedom, time, and the like.
At this time, the woman in black said coldly: "Masked monster, this way of life was obtained for you after a long night of negotiation between the god stick and the headquarters, don't toast and don't eat and drink." β
Su Xia shrugged his shoulders: "What is the difference between the way of life and death in other people's charity?" β
The woman in black snorted coldly: "Isn't it good to be alive?" β
Su Xia replied, "It depends on what kind of way of living. β
"If you're killing yourself, then it's no wonder we're going to blame!"
"Of course not." Su Xia smiled lightly, "Each is its own master, and the Tao is different." β
With that, Su Xia suddenly retreated, stomped on the ground, and with a bang, the whole person flew up diagonally backwards.
His gaze suddenly turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, the steel objects in the entire building exploded in unison, roaring, sonic shock, debris splashing, debris flying, and thick smoke and dust obscured everything for a moment.
If you look down from standing in the sky, the huge group base has collapsed with a bang, collapsing layer by layer, and those heavy reinforced concrete slabs seem to have turned into tofu slag.
The earthquake trembled, the mountains shook, and the violent collapse seemed to cause a small earthquake.
In the midst of the explosion and chaos, a cold light streaked through the smoke and dust, like a meteor in a cold night, passing through layers of barriers, and piercing the entire corridor in an instant.
"Zhengβ"
The cold light shone brightly, then vanished.
If you just stand outside, you can't see what happened at that moment.
There was still chaos in the collapsed building, and the flying smoke and dust obscured the vision, swallowing everything in the darkness of the night.
Only those inside the building can clearly experience the danger of the previous moment, especially Frank!
He snorted, his face turned pale, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he only felt that the whole person had been closed by the ghost gate.
"My hands!"
In that moment of confrontation, the cold light flashed, and with a click, it directly shattered his shield and chopped off his left arm
At the critical moment, if it weren't for the help of the wheelchair man, it might be his head that was cut off now!
At this moment, the left side of his body, which had been the position of his arm, was now empty, the fracture surface was flat, blood gushing out, and the sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made him tremble.
"How can this be ......"
He also thought that with the protection of the wheelchair man, he should be safe and sound today.
Frank endured the severe pain, hurriedly tied a tourniquet on his arm to prevent himself from bleeding too much, and injected himself with two more healing potions by the way.
In this case, he did not dare to use painkillers.
No matter how much it hurts, I can only endure it.
Because one of the most perfect feedback mechanisms in the body can keep him on high alert.
"Sorry, I made a mistake." The wheelchair man's face did not change, his eyes stayed on the broken arm on the ground for a moment, and his voice remained flat.
He only promised to save Frank's life, not his hand, so he didn't break his promise.
At least, Flac is still alive now.
However, it stands to reason that if you can save your head, you will naturally be able to save a hand, and the difficulty of the two is actually about the same, and I don't know if the wheelchair man really made a mistake or deliberately.
In the moment of confrontation just now, Su Xia also paid the price.
On Su Xia's chest, there was another bloody scar, and this time, the entire sternum was almost cut open, and half of his foot stepped into the ghost gate.
Below, the man in the wheelchair raised his head and said calmly, "Masked Gereck, this is the result of creating chaos and winning from chaos, what do you think?" β
Su Xia replied, "General." β
"To this day, what I have said to you is still useful." The wheelchair man said.
The implication was that as long as Su Xia gave up resistance and returned to the tavern with him, he would have a way to save Su Xia's life.
But Su Xia said, "I am just as useful for what you have said. β
Again, he refused.
The man in the wheelchair was not surprised by this, but said with some regret: "It seems that one of us is destined to embrace death." β
Su Xia said, "Anyone will die." β
"Yes."
As he spoke, the rain poured from the sky, which had suppressed the smoke and dust caused by the collapse, making the area clear again.
After the collapse of the base, only ruins remained.
The remaining materials, supplies, corpses, etc., were buried under layers of thick cement slabs.
Perhaps it will not be long before a lot of grass seeds will fall on this ruin, take root, sprout, thrive, and turn into weeds, gradually merging with the surrounding desolation, like those forgotten war ruins in the wilderness.
The wheelchair man looked at the desolation and sighed softly: "It seems that there is no point in staying here, masked monster, I'll wait for you in the tavern." β
Su Xia said, "Is this leaving?" β
"You're probably wondering, how will I leave?" The man in the wheelchair looked up at him, "Masked Geek, your time to become famous is too short, maybe you don't know that there are many special spatial talents in this world, and your walking in different space is just one of them." β
As he spoke, a blue light suddenly appeared on his body, like a faint wave of water, enveloping the three of them.
Then, he smiled faintly at Su Xia, as if he was saying goodbye.
The next moment, under Su Xia's gaze, the three of them disappeared on the spot, without a trace, leaving nothing.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, someone else would have believed it.
"What a quirky ability."
Su Xia could feel that the three of them were not invisible, but left the area directly.
This ability, somewhat similar to his talent, is like entering another dimension.
But the difference is that a man in a wheelchair can carry multiple people, and his body will emit blue light, and there is a prelude, just like there will be a forward swing when the boss zooms in the game.
"Did you go straight back to the tavern?"
Su Xia slowly rose, his robe hunting, looking down on the earth in the rain, concentrating on sensing any wind and grass in this area.
At the same time, countless nanobots were also released by him, trying to find traces of each other.
In the fight just now, Su Xia made a mistake.
After the chaos was created, he carried out an attack on Frank, and the weapon used in the attack was naturally the sword of bones.
Although the Sword of Bones was blown into several pieces by the explosion during the battle with Mercer, it was still sharp and made it a perfect melee weapon.
The cold light that flashed in the smoke and dust at that time was the blade of this sword.
But, in retrospect......
In fact, nanobots should be used to attack and achieve a silent effect.
At the beginning, when the Oasis camp was faced with insect infestation, Su Xia used an invisible long sword composed of nanobots to pierce the eyes of the fourth-level lord.
At this moment, the mobile phone on his body suddenly shook.
He took out his mobile phone and saw that there was a new message from Andrew: "My lord, a man in black came to me just now and told me that he was safe, should I trust him?" β
Su Xia took the phone and replied: "Yes, everything is up to you next." β
Obviously, Zhuang Ren's operation has been successful.
Next, it was only the action on Su Xia's side.
Now he has two options.
Either leave straight away and head back to Coral City.
Either go to the Zero Tavern, get rid of that Frank, and then return to Coral City.
Su Xia Tsai carefully searched a large area around him, and he could make sure that the other party had left and was not hiding somewhere here.
"Check it out at the tavern!" Su Xia didn't hesitate for too long and made a decision on the spot.
Most of the current taverns have become a Longtan tiger's den, which is full of crises, and it is easy to enter and difficult to get out.
But Su Xia still had to go, otherwise he felt uncomfortable.
"Hoo ......"
On a rainy night, Su Xia turned into a black shadow, speeding across the vast land, his robes hunting, and went straight to the local Zero Tavern branch in Conch City.
He already had a specific plan in mind for how to kill Frank.
The city's Zero Tavern is not in the city, but in a suburban town in the north of the city.
The small town, with a permanent population of less than five hundred, is crossed by a wide concrete road, with all the buildings on either side of the road and along the street.
And the tavern is in the middle of the town and occupies the best position.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the town was quiet, and every household had already turned off their lights and sunk to sleep, except for a few colorful signboards lit up in the rainy night, with some crooked words on them.
"Boom la la ......"
The rain trickled down on the rooftops, streetlights, signboards, and pavements of the town, like a concerto.
As time passed, the song became more and more urgent, as if urged, and a depressing, low atmosphere followed, drifting away in the dense rain.
In the tavern, there was no noise of the past, no one was drunk and noisy, no one was talking, everything was quiet, a little eerily quiet.
The doors of the tavern have been opened, as if to welcome guests.
The road outside the gate was already wet with rain, sticky and slippery, and the road reflected a cold shimmer.
When Susha arrived in the town, there were already people waiting for him.
"The battle is not small!"
With a calm face, he slowly landed on the road in the center of the town.
The tavern was quiet, and on the road outside the gate, there were ten men in black.
These black-clothed men lined up, expressionless and indifferent, holding black umbrellas in their hands, stood silently in the rain, motionless, as if they were about to merge with this darkness.
The raindrops hit their black umbrellas, and the sound was high and low, as if welcoming Su Xia's arrival.
In the tavern, the calm voice of the wheelchair man could be heard in the distance.
"I knew you were coming, and this is my welcome for you."
