Chapter 9: Killing, Saving, and Sacrificing
In a house in the slums, Xue Xu slowly woke up.
Yawning, she found herself clutching a hand, and the owner of the hand was lying on the side and sleeping soundly.
Seeing this scene, Xue Xu couldn't help but reach out and stroke Mariko's face, revealing a strange emotion in her eyes that had been suppressed.
Just as Xue Xu wanted to bow her head and kiss her young lady, her ability once again sent a dangerous signal.
Although his body was still a little weak, Xue Xu, who didn't dare to be careless, immediately got up and approached the window, and opened a slit with his hand to observe carefully.
Soon, she noticed two groups of people walking towards their house in the two alleys diagonally opposite.
Xue Xu hurriedly turned around and shook her young lady awake.
"Xuexu? You wake up, hmm... ”
Mariko's voice was quickly covered by Yukio's hand.
She glanced at Xue Xu suspiciously, saw Xue Xu make a "shhhhhhhh And said silently with his mouth: "There are people outside!" ”
After the two communicated, they quickly got up, and Xue Xu took out a pistol and put it near the door. Mariko begins to search the house for other exits or hiding places.
This time, however, there was no way for them to escape.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and the cultists rushed in.
Xue Xu raised the pistol and "snap, snap" after knocking down the two people in front of them with two shots, and soon they enjoyed the same treatment as their previous companions - tied up into zongzi.
Seeing that his subordinates escorted the two out, the team leader took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button: "Matthias, we have captured the two women and are ready to go to the destination." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow whistled out, pierced his throat and nailed to the ground.
The cultist leader let out a "Ho. Uh", the walkie-talkie in his hand also fell to the ground due to his inability to hold it, making a burst of "Uhh
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The little minion who saw the leader fall hurriedly raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted loudly.
In the next second, the little minion who shouted was also pierced through the heart by an arrow and followed to get a boxed lunch.
Seeing this, several cultists who had escorted the two women out hurriedly turned around and rolled back into the house.
Laura, who was standing on the three-story window sill not far away, drew her bow again and fired quickly, headshots the three enemies who were still outside one by one.
After observing from a high vantage point to make sure that the enemy outside the house had been emptied, Laura took off her shoes and socks, and with a light jump, landed on the roof below, hunched over to the top of the room where the man had just flashed in.
Lifting a tile facing the sun, Laura observes five cultists in the room, one with a gun and the other four with melee weapons. There were also two dead people lying on the ground, and two women who were tied up and thrown in the corner.
Considering that she was in a bad position to shoot the enemies in the house one by one, Laura took out a shock bomb from her back, pulled out the latch, threw it into the middle of the five standing cultists, and covered it with tiles.
"Bang-Bang"
Hearing the sound, Laura quickly lifted the tiles under him, pulled out his dagger, and pointed at the enemy with the spear, which was an aerial assassination. Then he pulled out Glock 17 and named the four cultists who were still dazed and wielding machetes and axes.
After confirming the enemy's death, Laura let out a long breath, closed the safety of the pistol and inserted it back into the holster at his waist, then went to the corner and cut the ropes on the two women with daggers.
Although the two of them were free, they were also affected by the shock grenade just now, and Laura could only let them lie on the ground to recover first, and opened the door to go out to check the surroundings again.
After confirming that the enemy had been destroyed, Laura walked over to the original leader and picked up the walkie-talkie that had fallen on the ground.
Seeing that the intercom's indicator light was flashing, Laura pressed the call button.
"I'm Matthias, and now you're taking the captives to join us at the Inheritance Stand."
Laura replied in a deep voice in a hoarse voice, "Okay, Roger." He released the call button.
Pinning the walkie-talkie to her belt, she turned and went back into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I found that the two women had sat up against the wall, and their eyes were no longer distracted.
One of the women spoke, "Thank you for saving us, my name is Mariko, and her name is Xue Xu." You will receive a sincere friendship from the Shishida family. ”
Laura was stunned when she heard Yashida, no wonder she looked at these two women a little familiar, it turned out that they were really "acquaintances".
"You're welcome, it seems that you are the eldest lady in Aoki's mouth. My name is Laura. Laura lifted her mask and smiled, she planned to have a good relationship with Miss Xiaobaihua, after all, the old devil of Zhitian had secretly bought a lot of Edman alloys, and she could find a way to get him a wave when the time came.
Mariko was very happy when she heard this: "It turns out that you saved Aoki before, but they were arrested again. Can you find a way to get them out? I'm willing to pay $100,000 each. ”
In order to maintain her righteous character, Laura did not refuse, after all, it was not difficult for Laura to destroy all those cultists, and it was just because it was no good to move them before.
After learning about the situation with Mariko, they knew that a Japanese woman named Saki had been captured by them, and combined with Matthias's words of "rendezvous at the Inheritance Table", Laura speculated that they should be preparing to sacrifice Saki and resurrect the Sun Queen.
After Mariko and Yukio regained their mobility, Laura took them to another cleaned wolf's den, which had enough supplies for them to live for 5 days, taught them to light a campfire and told them not to go out as much as possible, and then Laura left the cave and headed for the Inheritance Stand.
.................
In a cave in the mountains, Saki was gagged and tied to a pillar, and her mouth made an unwilling "whine" sound.
At first, she didn't know what the cultists had taken her to this so-called 'Inheritance Platform' for.
But after being tied to a pillar and the cultists began to pile up firewood at her feet, they began to panic, and the gang was planning to burn her alive!
After that, Saki began to struggle violently. Unfortunately, the rope on her body was very strong, and she could only watch as a hooded man with a strange scepter in one hand and a torch in the other walked towards her, and threw the torch at the pyre at her feet.
As the firewood began to burn under her feet, feeling the gradually scorching temperature, Sahi's heart was filled with despair and resentment.
She hated the trip! Hate this damn island! Hate the wild people in front of her who want to burn her! I hate even more that I didn't take her Yuki and Mariko with me when I ran away! They should be put up with this damn despair!
Just as her resentment was at its peak, a sudden gust of wind blew through the cave, extinguishing the fire in front of her, and Saki fainted.
Matthias knelt on the ground with his cane and saw this scene with his heart ecstatic.
As soon as the wind stopped, Matthias immediately stood up and said to his men behind him: "Quick! Take her off and take care of her! This is the vessel chosen by the great Sun Queen! We're about to get everything we want! Hahahahaha! ”
