Chapter 1: Rainy Night
"The world is diverse, just like our small second-tier city, which looks neon bright on the surface, but who knows what lies beneath it?"
"Hey, why are you talking about it?" Yang Yi pursed her lips, holding a fried chicken fillet in her hand and looked up at Chu Xiao who was "chattering", "You were ghosted?" ”
Chu Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, and sure enough, there was still something he couldn't communicate.
But the weather was clear and moonlit and suddenly rained heavily, and the two could only quickly run to the nearest convenience store to hide temporarily.
Yang Yi is really an out-and-out foodie, and immediately after entering, he bought two buckets of cup noodles, sat by the window and complained, "What the hell is this weather?" I could still see the stars just now, but suddenly it rained heavily. ”
Chu Xiao smiled lightly, and instead bought an umbrella, "Don't eat it, let's go back to school first." Before leaving, he said to the convenience store owner: "Boss, the weather is bad, so close early, it's better not to go out." ”
"What's wrong with you today? How is it weird? Chu Xiao's abnormal appearance made Yang Yi a little uneasy, Chu Xiao didn't answer, held up an umbrella and dragged her to school.
The autumn night is very cool, and after the rain, it is even cooler, and Yang Yi sticks closer to him.
But as soon as he walked to the school gate, Chu Xiao suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Why don't you go? Yang Yi noticed the abnormality and looked at him with a slight tilt of his head.
Chu Xiao stared at her eyes, showing a rare touch of tenderness, "It's nothing, you believe me, right?" ”
Yang Yi was a little confused by the question, and nodded, "Of course." ”
"Okay, then go forward, don't look back, remember." Chu Xiao handed her the umbrella and stepped back by himself.
Yang Yi was about to turn his head but was stopped by a sharp voice, "Don't look back!" Walk! Let's go! ”
"Good...... Good. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to look back, and her petite and lonely figure gradually disappeared into the rain of the night.
Seeing her leave, Chu Xiao, who was relieved, slowly turned around, and the magic was that even if his body was unreservedly exposed to the rain curtain, his clothes showed no signs of being wet, and all the rain silk could not get close to his side, as if there was a powerful aura protecting him.
"Magician? It's good, but it's unlucky for you. ”
In front of Chu Xiao, where the neon lights flashed, it was a strange-shaped species, like a lizard standing up, with a huge tail behind it, splashing a lot of water when it slapped the ground.
Chu Xiao stared at him indifferently, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been frightened, but he didn't back down at all, as the other party said, he was a magician.
"What are you? Lizardmen? ”
The two didn't say much, the lizardman took the lead, his mouth was wide, and the cold ice breath penetrated the raindrops to form an ice pick and shot towards Chu Xiao, and as soon as he made a move, it turned out to be the power of thunder.
Chu Xiao felt the threat coming to his face, his face did not change, he took a step sideways, and then quickly clenched his fists, and rushed forward suddenly, it seemed that he was hitting the air, but in fact, it was not, the tyrannical wind blew, like an invisible fist, skimming the ground inch by inch, carrying the rain, the two were originally far away, and the lizardman could not dodge at all with such a quick and violent blow, and he could only raise his tail in front of him in a hurry.
"Is it extraterrestrial life? Or is it a low-grade product made of something? Even if you dare to come to me for trouble? Chu Xiao said coldly.
Suddenly, there was a slight low roar from behind, Chu Xiao turned his head suddenly, and knelt on the ground with a hideous expression, at that moment, he seemed to see the emperor who had to surrender.
It was a pair of dark golden pupils, which seemed to come from some supreme demon king.
"Proud magician, look at it, this is a high-level secret method emperor demon pupil, ranking in the top ten in the sequence composed of you humans." The lizard-humanoid monster said that his voice was disgusting like a rat in a stinky ditch.
"Don't talk nonsense, the Emperor Demon Pupil can only last for a few seconds, do it!" A depressed voice appeared in the void.
The voice fell, and the lizardman rushed up with a wave of his claws, and the claws that originally had the appearance of a human form instantly became extremely sharp, and the dark green light flickered in the night, and landed on Chu Xiao's neck with a swift wind.
However, at the moment when the blade touched his neck, the flash of fire and the roar of metal colliding violently made him stop.
At this time, a voice also came from the bottom of Chu Xiao's heart, it seemed that someone was speaking, but it was not words, but a roar like a beast.
It's a roar.
At this moment, Chu Xiao was finally freed from the suppression, the strength of his body was released several times, his hands and feet curled up violently, supporting the ground with his palms, and the two wind blades condensed out of the void and stabbed straight at the lizard man.
Its skin was harder than expected, and even the wind blade could not completely penetrate it, Chu Xiao was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect such a result, and suddenly found that there was another person beside him, wearing a windbreaker and holding a short blade in his hand.
He pushed Chu Xiao to the back and stepped forward himself, the short blade was like a dexterous snake in his hand, swinging extremely fast, and there was a large afterimage, the silver light was bright, and the thunder and lightning were everywhere, slashing at the hard skin of the lizard, arousing sparks that only had the collision of metals.
But Chu Xiao did not relax his vigilance, there were still wind vortices swirling around, and the dark golden pupil hiding in the dark had not yet been found, he could make me lose my ability to move instantly, compared to this rough-skinned lizard, he should be vigilant.
"Don't worry, we're here, they can't hurt you." Chu Xiao suddenly had a few more people around him, counting the one who rushed to kill in front, there were four in total.
In fact, Chu Xiao had already discovered them, and before those two pupils appeared, they didn't dare to test easily without being sure of the enemy or me.
But now it seems to be ...... Enthusiastic citizens? He nodded, and with a flip of his palm, several breezes swam like small snakes in the dense rain curtain.
"Brother is good, do you want to join our team?" A boy wearing a black jacket with goggles on his head smiled cheerfully and confidently, "We are the strongest squad in H City!" ”
Chu Xiao was a little surprised, but he didn't speak, but his nerves tensed, and then he felt that something rushed straight into his mind, in the back!
He turned around suddenly, sealed his hands, and chanted magic mantras in a low voice, and in an instant, a strong wind rose in all directions, with Chu Xiao as the center, attacking from all sides, converging into a whirlpool, moving forward inch by inch with the momentum of sweeping.
Except for the one who was fighting with the lizardmen, the other three were dumbfounded and speechless, and the figure of the man behind the scenes was gradually exposed to the raindrop wind, because the rain that helped him in disguise was blown away by the wind.
Dressed in white, he looks like a Frankenstein.
