The cold wind blew up, and the afterglow was obscured by the night.

As the last rays of light dissipated between heaven and earth, a chill struck.

It's like winter.

Xilan Town, in front of the tavern.

The warm yellow light peeked through the windows of the tavern, and the burly proprietor was rummaging under the counter, scratching his head and muttering to himself, "Strange, there is no white olive?" ”

He pulled open the drawer and fiddled inside, then pulled open a nearby drawer and rummaged through it for a flashlight.

I was about to crouch down to look for it, when suddenly my ears moved slightly.

He got up and looked towards the main entrance of the tavern.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind poured into the tavern.

The flames on the fireplace on the other side seemed to be suppressed, as if they were about to be extinguished.

Seeing the face of the young man in front of him, the tavern owner was slightly stunned, his expression was a little stagnant, and his eyes couldn't help but look behind the young man, and he saw three other familiar figures following closely like ghosts.

But......

"Boss."

Xu Shenchong, who was stunned, smiled slightly, came to the bar and sat down: "Have a glass of wine." ”

The tavernkeeper's eyes were suspicious, and he felt Xu Shen who was sitting down close to Chi Qi, his throat seemed to roll subconsciously, and he smiled reluctantly: "Aren't you drinking white water?" ”

"Now I like to drink." Xu Shen said softly.

The tavernkeeper's eyes scanned back and forth on the faces of the three people behind Xu Shen, but he saw a signal that made his heart continue to sink, and he reluctantly smiled: "Where is Lao Liu?" ”

"He's gone."

The tavernkeeper's expression was even more unnatural, but he was still trying to restrain himself: "Is there an emergency, why don't you come to say hello." ”

While greeting each other, he turned and touched the counter.

Bang.

A bottle of wine was smashed by a touch.

The tavernkeeper's eyelids twitched violently, and he patted his head and said, "Look at my carelessness." "Grab two bottles of wine from the side and take them down.

"You haven't asked me what kind of wine you want to drink." Xu Shen's eyes were calm, and he said softly.

The tavern owner seemed to be reminded and hurriedly said, "I can mix whatever you want to drink." ”

"It's the same as Lao Liu." Xu Shen said.

The tavern owner smiled a little reluctantly: "Are your tastes so similar, okay, I'll adjust it right away." ”

He flicked the cork off the bottle, took the cocktail, and then his eyes fell on the three people standing behind Xu Shen, and said, "What about these three friends, what do you want to drink?" ”

The three of them just looked at him silently, without saying or acting.

Standing behind Xu Shen like a puppet ghost.

The cold sweat on the tavernkeeper's face slid down, and soon, a cocktail was ready, and he handed it to the young man sitting contemplatively in front of the bar: "You use it slowly." ”

The drink squeezed into the line of sight, and seemed to pull the young man's distracted gaze back to reality.

"You're still young, drinking more alcohol is not good for your health, it's better to have white water." The tavernkeeper persuaded.

Xu Shen picked up the wine glass and said softly: "The water will only get colder and colder the more you drink, but the wine can get hotter and hotter the more you drink." ”

After saying that, he raised his head and drank.

Suddenly, a cold light appeared, and a short dagger suddenly turned out from under the bar, and stabbed at Xu Shen under the hideous gaze of the tavern owner.

Burst!

The dagger was like a silver light, instantly piercing the wine glass and piercing straight into Xu Shen's throat!

Blood splattered wildly, splattering inside the walls of the broken cups and on the bar.

The boss saw Xu Shen's incredulous gaze, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He pulled back the dagger, and in order to prevent Xu Shen from being a person with the ability to reconstruct the system, he slashed out again, puff puff and puff several times, and the dagger pierced Xu Shen's throat, forehead, and eye sockets.

With a pop, he grabbed Xu Shen's hair with one hand, and the knife fell in his hand, cutting off the head.

"That's it?"

The tavernkeeper frowned as he looked at the headless corpse spurting blood in front of him.

Suddenly, he felt a tingling pain in his arm.

He raised his arm and saw that purple meridians appeared on his arm, entrenched like earthworms, and his arm became stiff, in addition to tearing pain, he was gradually losing consciousness.

The boss was shocked and hurriedly looked at the old man behind Xu Shen: "Lao Du, what are you doing?!" ”

He saw Lao Du's pitiful eyes: "Look at what you are doing." ”

Myself......?

The boss looked down and saw that Xu Shen in front of him was sitting intact, and the bar counter was also cleaned before, how could there be splashed blood?

The head in his own hand...... He looked down and saw that it was a bottle of wine.

Thump.

He let go of his hand in fright, and the bottle shattered.

It's like waking up from a dream.

The boss suddenly looked at the young man behind Xu Shen, who he had heard of the latter's ability.

Nightmare!

The boss's face is ugly, damn it, when is it?

"It seems that this wine will not be drunk." Xu Shen looked at the boss regretfully.

The boss looked at Xu Shen angrily: "Where is Lao Liu?!" ”

He then looked at Lao Du and the other three: "You actually betrayed the Pope?!" Do you think this hairy boy is more far-sighted than the Pope? Follow such people, you ......"

"Humph!"

Lao Du snorted coldly and interrupted him: "Emperor Liu is dead, now we swear allegiance to the new king, don't be obsessed." ”

"Emperor Liu's death at the hands of the new king is not our betrayal of the pope."

The young man behind Xu Shen said indifferently.

The boss was about to shout angrily, when suddenly his vision was distorted, and the tables and chairs in the tavern were torn, revealing a scene of a church in the dark.

The strange and terrifying giant ruin beast, and the young people who are connected to the ruin beast.

The two states of the four ambush assassinations.

and Yanagi River, who is facing off in front.

And then then...... Horrible things happen.

Everything that had happened in the previous church was reproduced in front of the boss's eyes, ending as quickly as a fast forward.

When the eyes returned to the tavern, the boss's face was already pale, as if he had collapsed, and he looked at the young man in front of him in horror.

His gaze subconsciously looked at Xu Shen's shoulder, where a strand of black hair was still entangled.

This made the boss's Tong Kong shrink tightly.

The young man glanced at the boss meaningfully, but did not speak.

"Of the six cardinals (ji) bishops, there is only one left, and that is Ah Coal."

Xu Shen said softly: "Or, it's time to call him Xue Coal." ”

Xue is the surname that Ah Coal later gave, and it was also given by Liu Jichuan himself.

The boss's face was ugly, cold sweat was dripping, and finally, he lowered his head: "Please forgive me for my rudeness, I am willing to swear allegiance to the new king!" ”

He knelt down on one knee, although he couldn't use it in the bar, his body disappeared into the ruins, and he knelt in front of Xu Shen like this across the bar.

Xu Shen bowed slightly: "Get up." ”

The boss slowly stood up.

At this time, the purple meridians on his arm were also gradually fading.

Obviously, Xu Shen, who controlled the three cardinals, wanted to kill him easily.

What's more, Xu Shen also had the A-class ruin beast he saw from his nightmare ability by his side.

No wonder Liu Huang fell at the feet of this young man...... He thought that Liu Jichuan, Lao Du and others would be waiting to return, but the position of the leader was changed.

"In order to kill me, all 6 cardinals were transferred to this town, and Liu Ju is really optimistic about me......" Xu Shen smiled lightly, the tavern owner in front of him did not participate in the assassination in the church, because the latter's ability was not suitable for assassination, and belonged to the assault system.

The same goes for that Xue Coal.

The boss was bitter, when Liu Jichuan summoned them all before, they still thought it was a big fuss, but who expected that now things would turn out like this.

Xu Shen got up and said, "Let's go, let me go and meet the last cardinal." ”

The boss glanced at Lao Du and the others and knew that the sky had changed.

He tore off the apron on his body, and no longer disguised it, revealing his burly figure and muscles that had been suppressed and contracted before, and his height was impressively 1.9 meters, even close to two meters.

Like a humanoid brown bear, underneath the bartending suit is an elite tawny combat suit.

He silently followed behind Xu Shen, and the group walked out of the tavern.

The cold wind is blowing.

Suddenly, Xu Shen felt a slight chill on the back of his hand, and when he looked up, it was a piece of melting snow.

He looked up, and at this moment, in addition to the cold wind and fog of the night, there were scattered snowflakes falling.

It's already early spring, and it's still snowing.

Xu Shen looked at the falling snowflakes and was slightly distracted, then lowered his head, tightened his clothes, and walked forward.

The footsteps of the five of them were silent, and even the huge body of the tavern owner who followed behind him walked silently on the ground.

Source change app】

It didn't take long.

The five of them passed by the school that Xu Shen passed by during the day.

At this moment, the school is empty, like a ghost in the dark, and the windows are like huge eyes, staring at the passers-by outside.

The night in the town is exceptionally quiet.

Xu Shen soon came to the previous cabin.

Inside the former kennel converted into a wooden house, the warm yellow lights shine.

Looking from the ruins, the wooden house was illusory, and there was only Xue Coal in it, but his daughter Xiaoqiu was missing.

At the same time that Xu Shen saw Xue Coal, Xue Coal's gaze also penetrated the wooden house and saw Xu Shen.
