Volume 2: The Game of Zero Chapter 14 Prologue

Ning He, who was in the state of spiritual vision, reacted equally quickly, and he also held the sword that Douglas had lent him before, and Douglas had not taken it back until now, so Ning He felt comfortable and continued to use it humbly.

"Bang!"

In Ning He's eyes, two black shadows collided in the corridor ahead, and Douglas did not hesitate to send the sword in his hand straight into the opponent's abdomen.

Zhu Yaotang took advantage of the glimmer and strode directly up the stairs to the second floor, in the hall on the second floor, there were three people drinking under the candlelight, and there were several weapons on the wine table.

Zhu Yaotang saw the guy on the table, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and went straight to the person closest to the stairs with the sword in his hand.

The three of them are not good at stubble, and the person sitting on the outermost part of the country has a slightly red face and looks a little drunk. He saw Zhu Yaotang rushing towards him, not retreating, but advancing, lifting a firewood knife next to the stool, and slashing at the person without hesitation.

Zhu Yaotang's lips moved slightly, and the sword in his hand suddenly threw out sword flowers, and the three of them were all for a while, this was a scene they had never seen before.

The drunken man who did not retreat but advanced was already on his head at this time, and the firewood knife was taken off by Zhu Yaotang with skillful skills, and with a touch of the long sword, the man's "ho ho" hands covered his neck and fell.

The other two people in their hands had already reacted, and they picked up the swords on the table with two bangs, and rushed towards Zhu Yaotang silently.

Zhu Yaotang shook his long sword and greeted him.

Outside the first floor, Lin Ling stumbled a few steps before she stopped, she stomped her foot, took a deep breath, and rushed in with the sword in her hand tightly.

It's a pity that silence has returned to the house again, Lin Ling just entered the door, she looked nervously at the dark porch, and a heavy footstep came, walking slowly towards her.

Lin Ling's heart tightened, and the sword stood in front of him, staring intently at the dark porch.

The slanted moonlight passed through the door of the house, and a figure slowly appeared in front of Lin Ling's eyes.

"Ning He......" Lin Ling shouted softly.

Ning He took out the tinder in his hand and lit the coal lamp, looking at her, "Come in, it's over." ”

Ning He, who was in a state of spiritual vision, had already heard the chaotic footsteps on the second floor and the sound of several gold and iron clashing, and finally there was only one footstep left upstairs.

There is no doubt that it is Zhu Yaotang.

Downstairs, Douglas is worthy of the Knight of Kings and a whole host of various titles, and after he unexpectedly knocks out one person, he quickly takes out the last one.

In a small two-story building in the shantytown, five middle-aged and young men died on this quiet night.

At this moment, at the entrance and exit of the shantytown, several church warriors sitting on the side were startled by the noise nearby, and one of them was a blonde young man with a little freckles holding the standard church cross sword in his hand.

He asked an old church warrior beside him, who was his captain, "Captain, shall we go in and have a look?" ”

"Go in and see? Then the hell it's a slum! The ghost knows what the hell is going on inside, and what if the guys inside are fighting fire, but they take advantage of the chaos and kill us, and the god of light doesn't know if it's going to happen. ”

The captain glared at him fiercely, whispered a few words to him, and beckoned the rest of the people to sit down. Their job was to guard the entrance and exit to the center of town, and he didn't bother to get involved in anything else.

And... The captain glanced inside the shantytown, and his face showed a look of disgust, how could the believers of the God of Light enter such a filthy place, it would tarnish his piety.

As for this hairy boy, the captain saw that he was still hesitating, his heart softened, and he scolded: "Sit down!" The church has asked us to stay here, this is the priest's order, do you still want to stay in the church? ”

"Yes......"

The freckled young man was not struggling, he gave up the idea of going inside alone, and sat down obediently, but from time to time he would still look inside, and he was completely sleepy.

When Ning He, Douglas and Lin Ling walked up to the second floor, Zhu Yaotang was already sitting at the wine table, taking a sip of wine, with a comfortable look on his face. Seeing a few people come up, he said softly: "The upstairs is all settled." ”

He pointed to a corner, where a bunch of hill-like protrusions were covered by a black cloth.

Douglas looked at Zhu Yaotang with some surprise, and his evaluation of him was a little higher in his heart, he nodded and said, "The two downstairs have been solved, it seems that they are a group of outlaws." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Yaotang glanced at the pile of corpses in the corner, nodded, took another sip of the new wine in the cup, and then waited for a few seconds before continuing:

"I just took a look, and there's a window here that is extraordinary, and we can go straight out from here. Coincidentally, the guys also have rope ladders that we can use. ”

Ning He was a little surprised, "It seems that they have done this less, but won't they be found when they turn it out?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhu Yaotang shook his head, "It's a narrow alley outside, and it won't necessarily be discovered during the day." ”

"Then let's go." Douglas didn't hesitate and walked directly towards the window pointed by Zhu Yaotang.

Zhu Yaotang put down the wine glass and got up, put his hand next to his trouser belt, and no one noticed that his hand was trembling slightly.

Lowering the rope ladder, several people quickly climbed out of the shantytown, and they approached the church, and on the dim street without street lights, four black shadows silently crossed the street and climbed over a low wall around the church.

At this time, the interior of the church was brightly lit, and Ning He, who was attached to the base of the wall, could even hear the sound of the collision and conversation of the bottles and cans inside.

"Enter through the back door." Douglas said in a suppressed voice, he made a name for himself, and moved forward half-crouched along the corner.

"Click."

The small door of the church was unlocked, and four people entered in turn, and they entered the semi-sunken warehouse of the church. As soon as he entered, Ning He smelled a pungent smell that made him even a little nauseous.

Douglas and Zhu Yaotang glanced at each other, the smell was exactly the same as the healing medicine they wanted to give Ning He during the day.

There are a lot of iron barrels in the warehouse, and the warehouse door is hidden, revealing a halo.

"What should I do?" Douglas glanced at Zhu Yaotang, who was standing by the door of the warehouse and peeping into the main hall of the church, which was full of people.

"Wait, wait for when your people will make trouble, there are still quite a few church warriors here, there are about ten of them, and there are almost ten priests, and there is a priest."

"So many people don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Under Ning He's complaint, a ball of fire rose into the sky in the southeast corner of White Lamb Town, and then some explosions and fires appeared in the entire town one after another. The whole city was awakened, and many people leaned out of the windows to curse, but when they saw the commotion outside, they retracted their heads again.

At the entrance and exit of the shantytown to the center of the town, the captain was once dissipated from sleep, he spat a mouthful, looked at the sky and said to the people around him in a deep voice: "It seems that I can't sleep tonight." ”

The captain looked at the gas fire in the southwest of the shantytown, and his mind moved: "Jieshi, you go back to the church to have a look, I'm afraid something will happen over there."

"Good!" The freckled young man Jieshi nodded and lifted his sword and left.

The captain looked at the somewhat thin back and told the rest of the people: "Cheer up, stay here tonight, and don't let anyone go!" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, Captain."

“......”

As Douglas had expected, his ploy worked, and all the church warriors and priests were sent out by the priest, and Ning He saw them disappear around the corner with torches in hand. He returned to the warehouse and nodded to the trio.

Douglas took a deep breath, then pushed open the warehouse door and walked straight out, he looked at the priest standing in front of the statue of the God of Light standing on the teaching platform, and said coldly: "Father Shan, I don't think it's you." I said why the Church of Light in White Lamb would drop everyone out so easily, I had already guessed that we were coming. ”

To Hill Smoore, he, like Johnny Bullock, is the bishop of the Church of Light, not a priest of Lambtown at all.

"I should have thought it was you." Douglas slowly drew his long sword, not shying away from the god of light behind the mountain. Although the Io Kingdom advocates the belief in the God of Light, it does not force everyone to be religious, and the Io royal family also deliberately keeps a distance from the Church of Light, only one of the three dukes of the kingdom is a believer, and the other two are not, the Addams family has never had a religious tradition, so Douglas is not a believer.

With a faint smile on the mountain, Ning He looked at his warm smile, but in the state of spiritual vision, he was suddenly stared at by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Hehe, Douglas, you still haven't grown up." He clapped his hands and applauded, and out of the shadows behind the pillars of the church came several heavily armed church warriors, their armor shining even in the light of candlelight.

These are the Church Warriors who were brought to the mountain, and unlike those in White Lamb Town, they are truly Luminous believers who have been systematically trained to be loyal to the Church of Light.

Six church warriors stepped over the bench and surrounded Douglas, who had stopped.

Ning He wanted to step forward to help, but Zhu Yaotang on the side grabbed his arm, Ning He turned around, and Zhu Yaotang shook his head at him slightly.

"Don't make a mess, you can rest for a while, aren't you tired after driving for so long?"

Ning He was shocked, stared at Zhu Yaotang's eyes, and nodded slowly. The moment he lifted his vision, a strong sense of exhaustion swept over him.

He has been in this mysterious state since the beginning of the operation, and has been in it until now.

"Let's go sit next to you, anyway, there's no fight now." Zhu Yaotang pointed to the rows of wooden benches next to him, and then said to Lin Ling: "Miss Lin, go outside to let off steam, lest you run away when you get to." ”

Lin Ling nodded slightly, she glanced at the surrounded Douglas and the tall statue of the god of light on the teaching platform, and walked out.

Zhu Yaotang didn't stand either, he sat next to Ning He, and the two of them watched the good show staged in front of them like spectators.

"Just look at it as a cutscene in a game, don't think too much about it." Zhu Yaotang reminded.

Ning He was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and quietly looked at the confrontation in front of him.

The bishop dressed as a priest standing on the podium glanced at the two sitting down at Hill Smoore and nodded slightly at them.

With a stage, an audience, and actors, a play can be considered officially staged.
