CHAPTER XVIII

Zhang Lie turned around again, and at some point he also left with Blatter. At this time, the roar of the helicopter overhead was getting closer and closer, and from the highway at both ends of the broken bridge, a large number of exorcist Tecco's RVs drove over.

Suddenly, there was a sky-high explosion on the highway on the left, and the flames rose into the sky in an instant, and the crowd who had not had time to evacuate all let out screams of horror, when Jude had already exchanged hands with the other party.

The continuous explosion of fire reflected the place red, and looking up at the helicopter with searchlights circling back and forth, Jing Yiyao showed an incomprehensible indifferent smile to the two.

Standing up gracefully, a gust of wind blew, and a large cloud of snow and dust immediately rose high around her. When the snowflakes fell again, there was no one on the guardrail.

"What is this little girl thinking..."Zhang Lie touched his chin suspiciously.

"Who knows, but at least one thing is certain, she will never be kind enough to help us." Anne said coldly.

With a smile, Zhang Lie nodded: "Yes, the current situation seems to be getting more and more chaotic." ”

"Do you want to do it again?"

"Of course. I won't stop until I rescue Blatter. Zhang Lie smiled coldly. Although the operation failed, there was no trace of frustration in his eyes.

For Zhang Lie, it doesn't matter if he fails, as long as there is still a chance to recover. So once he decides to do something, he always keeps his fighting spirit surprisingly strong until he succeeds.

Zhang Lie's self-confidence unconsciously infected Annie, and her calm eyes flashed, so she also nodded: "Very good, then continue to work." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hands, and in an instant she had turned into her original form, and her wings flapped and rose into the sky with the help of the wind. In an instant, I heard a scream that resounded in the sky, and the snow suddenly exploded in all directions, like white fog enveloping the surroundings, and the glass of all the cars around it also exploded at the same time.

In the midst of Annie's scream, the roar of the two helicopters suddenly became extremely eerie, dragging a long tail note, and they staggered separately to the highway on both sides, and in a moment two explosions were heard at the same time.

The rumbling firelight instantly brightened the night sky, but in this momentary bright light, the place where Zhang Lie was standing was empty. In mid-air, I saw the wind blowing and the snow danced, and Anne was nowhere to be seen.

When the exorcist SWAT finally reached the broken bridge, all they saw was a snow-covered ruin...

************************************************************

Since then, events have been unexpected. In addition to the people who died directly at the hands of the monsters, the number of direct and indirect deaths due to a series of car accidents reached dozens of people, and countless people were injured.

What's even more troublesome is that many people witnessed the true face of the demons at that time, and some photos of that time began to circulate on the Internet afterwards. Humanity's battle against the non-human race has always been carried out in secret, and this is especially true of the large-scale purge after the Battle of the Vatican. Because once the general public is informed that there are other intelligent life forms on Earth, God knows how much riot it will cause.

Therefore, hunter organizations in various countries try their best to hide the truth from the public, and they also do everything possible to remedy it afterwards. However, at the time of the Vatican War, the riots in Rome had caused considerable shock, and before it had completely subsided, there was another incident, and many good people had begun to consciously investigate it, and all kinds of rumors spread all over the sky.

The Japanese people were already very enthusiastic about supernatural things, and after that night, the major newspapers carried a series of reports, and the whole of Tokyo was in a restless atmosphere.

The unscrupulous behavior of the monster made the Japanese side very angry, and under the order of the high-level police in the police circle, all the exorcist special police in Japan, the demon slaying monks of the major sects, and the professional demon hunters all took action. Blocking all possible passages in and out, clearing everywhere, it has the potential to dig out and destroy all the yokai in Japan.

As a result, after Europe and China, the demon clan of the entire Japan is also in turmoil. Those unsuspecting middle and low-level demons were implicated in no apparent way, and many of them disappeared directly from the world. Those who barely escaped their lives could not be hidden, and the famous demon capital of Tokyo, the proportion of demons has reached an unprecedented low.

And the three monsters who started all this have all started a new round of plans in secret.

**********************************************************

"Look at the good things you guys have done." Pushing the keyboard, a blank face turned the wheelchair.

In the gloomy hut, Zhang Lie was sitting on a pile of wooden boxes, munching on a pile of unknown food. Anne stood in front of an iron frame with her back to them, as if she were thinking, as if admiring the dusty antiques on the shelf, and the darkness shrouded most of her body, except for the red hair that still dazzled.

"What's wrong?" Swallowing the food in his mouth, Zhang Lie said in surprise.

"In just four days, almost all the monster passages in Japan have been destroyed, and nearly half of the monsters I have business ties with have lost contact, and I don't know how many will be killed in the future. Now the whole of Japan is like an iron bucket, you can only enter but not leave, what do you think is all because of this? Sliding the wheelchair in front of Zhang Lie, Feige tilted his head and stared straight at Zhang Lie with those dead fish-like eyes.

Glancing at him, Zhang Lie shrugged and did not speak. The tentacles that escaped from his mouth shook violently, and Feige screamed, "I don't know what you're doing in Japan this time, and I don't want to know." It's just that you didn't think about how many youkai would be implicated before you acted? Because of your momentary pleasure, how many youkai have died? What if the exorcism department catches my customer and comes to my door? ”

Questioning repeatedly, Feich's usual cold tone was already quite angry. Swallowing the last bit of food in his mouth, Zhang Lie clapped his hands and stood up, walking in front of Feiqi.

Looking at Zhang Lie, who was staring directly at him, Fei Qi involuntarily withdrew the wheelchair for a while, but the ridicule and indifference in his eyes did not diminish at all, and his paralyzed face seemed to lead to a sneer.

"Do you dare not answer, or do you want to kill me directly?"

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Zhang Lie pursed his lips, grabbed Feiqi's wheelchair and pulled him in front of him: "Let me ask you, are you angry because of my actions, or because humans killed those monsters?" ”

"......" didn't understand what Zhang Lie meant, Fei Qi could only roll his eyes to look at him.

"It's a matter of course for people to kill monsters, if you want to survive, it's best to take care of yourself, if you are accidentally caught and killed, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky. So this time, I can't blame the humans for wanton killing, but it should be attributed to the excuse I created for them to kill youkai..."

Looking deeply into Fei Qi's eyes, Zhang Lie calmly finished saying those words: "That's what you think, right?" ”

Gradually, a trace of anger ignited in his dead eyes, the tentacles outside Feiqi's mouth fluttered violently, and his paralyzed body continued to shake with the wheelchair: "How can you..."

"Angry? Unwilling? Zhang Lie's voice turned deeper, and his expression had a hint of cruelty.

"You don't need me to remind you, you should also know the cruelty of this world. Humanity will never allow another intelligent life to coexist with them, and what happened after the Vatican, don't I have to tell you? Even if it weren't for tonight, humanity would find an excuse to wipe us out one by one... No, there is no need to use any excuses, because it is a matter of course for them to destroy us. ”

"People say that when pain reaches a critical point, people feel numb, isn't that what we are doing now? Because of a group of useless elders, the entire non-human race has come to this point, and the slaughter of the same kind day by month has made us numb. Do you know how many youkai who, like you, have forgotten their hatred of humans and turned to self-pity and self-pity to save their lives, rather than knowing how to fight for survival? Look at your face just now, isn't that what I said? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you were a piece of wood, and you don't have a face to speak of. ”

Zhang Lie said these words like a cannonball, and finally said to Fei Qi with a mocking face.

Staring at him deadly, the anger in Feiqi's eyes became more and more intense, and he wanted to melt Zhang Lie alive. Gradually, however, the emotion in his eyes fell silent again, and it became the usual indifference again.

"......, you're right, I've been scared for so long that I've forgotten what hatred is like." For a long time, he said quietly.

"At the moment Japan is under a dead blockade, they must still be hiding somewhere. There are several secret bases in Kankuro, and it will take some effort to find out, so give me three days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”

With that, Feige slowly slid his wheelchair out of the hut and disappeared behind the door.

Zhang Lie looked at the still shaking curtain with a complicated expression, and did not speak. Silently, Anne stepped out of the darkness that enveloped her.

"Actually, you know that this is because of your recklessness, right?"

Turning his head to look at her, Zhang Lie smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it from you." ”

"Then why do you say that?" Anne asked calmly.

With a sigh, Zhang Lie said: "However, the truth is the truth after all, and at present, there are indeed too many monsters in the non-human race who have forgotten their hatred, as I said. And in the current situation, it would not be wise for Feige to keep his reproach on me, so it was necessary to divert his hatred. ”

Finally, he shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "I have always believed in one sentence: don't let a sense of morality stop you from doing the right thing." Isn't it? ”

After a long silence, a complicated expression appeared on Anne's face: "The more I get in touch with you, the more I find it difficult to understand you as a person." ”

Smiling, Zhang Lie was noncommittal.

Do you know what it means to cry and laugh and be resentful?

That is, after yesterday I begged for a collection.

Not only did the collection not increase, but it also dropped a few...
