Chapter 123: When the Enemy Is a Child
Time passed minute by minute, and Su Ming didn't know how long it had been, but he loaded a timer function into the system after the Staircase of Fear.
So he knew that they had been in this black door space for five hours and thirty minutes since they came in, and it was now half past twelve at midnight, and in less than half an hour, Isabella would be resurrected.
Then, they only had to wait another twenty-one hours for the information to reach Sylvie.
After that, Sylvie should immediately send someone into this black door space, after all, as long as you know the rules of this space, it is equivalent to eliminating most of the dangers.
In addition, it would be nice if Xia Xiaoyu could be found again during this time, Xia Xiaoyu should have arrived at the other party's gathering place, and should know more information, if this information can be conveyed together, the security will be much higher.
Just as Su Ming was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps.
The three of them sat here and never moved, this footstep was obviously someone else's, and it was not Xia Xiaoyu's, because Yang Yangyang next to him touched him lightly, and Yang Yangyang also heard the footsteps.
Su Ming breathed softly and pulled out the plug on the smoke bomb.
In the next second, a fire appeared in the distance, and the light illuminated the space, and Su Ming's smoke bomb was also thrown.
At this moment, Su Ming saw the appearance of the person who came, there were three people on the other side, all of them were very young boys, with immature faces, the average height was only one meter five, and the tallest one was almost one meter six.
And the palm of one of them was burning with a flame.
"They're here!" The little boy shouted.
Smoke shrouded the aisle, and a violent flame rolled over like a churning wall, Su Ming's body sank into the smoke, and his body became transparent in the smoke, passing through the wall of fire without injury.
He rushed to the opponent with lightning speed, kicked out his leg like lightning, kicked one of them directly with a roundabout kick, grabbed the wrist of the other boy with his left hand, and threw the opponent directly to the ground.
The last child, seeing his companions being knocked down one after another, turned around and rushed into the black door next to him without hesitation.
"We've been found." Yang Yangyang said.
Su Ming nodded, pressed the child who was still struggling on the ground, and muttered, "Why are there children?" ”
"Let go of me! You let go of me!! The boy kept writhing and struggling under Su Ming's hands, "You demons, do you just want to kill us all like this!" ”
Make a clean sweep of?
Su Ming frowned, he seemed to have heard something interesting.
"What do you mean to kill you all?" Su Ming asked.
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you all! The boy said angrily.
The boy's strength in struggling suddenly became greater, and even Su Ming was very surprised.
Su Ming's current posture is anti-joint suppression, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for the other party to exert force, but now his strength is getting bigger and bigger.
Enhancement abilities?
Su Ming took out two different metals from his pocket and swallowed them, regaining his suppressive power over the boy.
"No, we're not bad guys, and we're not here to kill you, just to solve the weirdness of the Black Gate." Su Ming explained.
"Damn! Bastard! You ......"
Su Ming thought for a few seconds, then stretched out his other hand to press the other party's carotid sinus, causing the other party's brain to be ischemic and comatose.
Immediately afterward, he loosened the physical restraint on the boy.
"It seems that the situation is very tricky." Yang Yangyang said.
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
Yang Yangyang is right, the current situation is indeed tricky, this kind of child should not be a heinous person, and from what he said just now, it is obvious that someone has brainwashed them, making them feel that these outsiders are here to invade them.
In the eyes of these little children, they are the great evildoers who invade their homeland.
"Even using a child as a shield is quite troublesome for the enemy. Su Ming, you have to make a decision, if the enemies we encounter in the future are all these children, what will you do? Yang Yangyang asked.
Su Ming fell into deep thought, and then sighed: "If this is the case, then you can only kill." ”
Yang Yangyang glanced at Su Ming obliquely, he was surprised by Su Ming's decisiveness.
That's right, killing is the best option.
There are not many paths available to them now, and the Black Gate Space is a familiar battlefield for the other party, and they have no geographical advantage.
All the children here have been brainwashed, and there are a lot of people on the other side, which means that there is no one for them either.
As for the time, Isabella still has less than an hour to resurrect, but there are still twenty-one hours to pass the message out, and it is as difficult as climbing to heaven to resist the attacks of these abilities in such a long time...... They also don't have a time to go.
The time and place are favorable, and the three are not the same, and their group has entered a desperate situation.
If they still have to abide by morality in a desperate situation, then in the end, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
The enemy must have brainwashed these children very strongly, and those children will certainly not be able to believe their explanations for a short time, and if they continue to be indecisive and benevolent, they will not be able to accomplish anything in the end.
At this time, only ruthlessness can have a glimmer of life.
Su Ming's judgment was correct, but his decision was "wrong", and the world would not approve of such an approach, even if it was the optimal solution.
Yang Yangyang took a deep breath, pulled out the straight knife behind his back, and asked, "Are you going to kill them now?" ”
Yang Yangyang's idea is very simple, since Su Ming has shown his own determination, then they can't hypocritically pretend to be forced by orders, he wants to stand with Su Ming, if he wants to become a demon who kills children, then let him come first.
"Not yet, as long as we can finish the mission as quickly as possible, and then the Bureau of Investigation can safely suppress them." Su Ming stopped the other party, "Let's get out of here first, they'll be coming soon." ”
Yang Yangyang nodded, walked to the back and helped Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang still held the dead Sun Lanxin and refused to let go.
"Wang Qiang, she is dead, you have to live."
"I'd rather die with her."
Su Ming stepped forward.
"Wang Qiang, do you know what she said to me before she died?"
Wang Qiang's godless eyes finally had a hint of brilliance, he looked up at Su Ming, and said in a trembling voice: "What did she say?" ”
"She asked me to protect you, let me tell you, take care of the child."
Hearing the child, Wang Qiang's body shook violently, he looked at Sun Lanxin in his arms, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Then, he let go of the other party and stood up with the help of Yang Yangyang.
"Very well, let's go."
Su Ming turned on the flashlight, looked around, and chose the black door where the child ran away.
The reason for his choice is very simple, the child must have gone to find rescuers when he escaped, and the way he took must have been the way to find rescuers.
Because of the characteristics of the Black Gate space, the routes back and forth between the same two locations are absolutely different, so if you choose the Black Gate where the child walks, there is a high probability that you will not be bumped into by the strangers who rushed to the rescue.
After walking through several black doors, Su Ming looked at the time, and finally it was time to summon Isabella.
"Isabella." Su Ming called.
The call echoed through the small space, but nothing responded.
"What's going on? Isn't the time yet up? Yang Yangyang said.
Su Ming looked at the time again and shook his head: "No, it's definitely here, I remember it very clearly." ”
"Then why didn't the housekeeper come out?" Yang Yangyang was puzzled.
Su Ming was silent, and he felt as if the situation had subtly deviated from his original prediction.
"I'm afraid, the situation has become a little more favorable."
