Old man Xu drew runes with blood in one hand, and directly let the weeping angel be included in the holy nail of light and darkness.

Meanwhile.

The hunchbacked old man who was still in the camp suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and his expression changed suddenly: "How is it possible?!" ”

He hurriedly chanted the incantation, but after several attempts in succession, he found that the cross beside him had completely stopped moving, and he no longer felt any signs of angelic existence.

While it's not known what's going on, it's definitely not good news.

The weeping angel's divine soul was finally obtained by breaking the ancient seal, as long as enough souls were sacrificed, even if it was just a wisp of remnant souls, in the near future, they would not have to hide like this now.

I thought that angels could provide a great boost to the revival of the sect, but I didn't expect that it had just been used twice, and it was out of control and disappeared?

The hunchbacked old man naturally never dreamed that the [Light and Dark Holy Nail] that had been robbed before would be in the camp so coincidentally.

What's even more coincidental is that there is an old man Xu who can summon the soul of an angel.

At this time, in the camp full of wandering zombies, a veiled woman also quietly arrived.

The hunchbacked old man said urgently, "Chief, the angel is out of control. You go first."

He knew very well that without the Weeping Angel, the undead catastrophe that had not yet become a climate couldn't stop the guy in Bureau X at all.

Hearing this, a touch of solemnity also flashed in the woman's silver-moon-like eyes, and she shook her head and said, "It's too late." ”

At this moment, the two of them watched a strong man with evil spirits haunting and surging muscles rushing towards him.

The person who came was none other than Xie Guozhong from Bureau X.

Xie Guozhong's trip was originally to deal with the faith pollution incident in the City of Innocence.

Before, they all thought that it would be like the countless times they had dealt with, just some small shrimp tainted by the beliefs of ancient relics.

At least that's what they thought in the City of Innocence.

However, I didn't expect to chase the Thunder Fortress camp this time, and the wanted criminals of the Silver Moon Sect wept angels with one hand and the undead natural disaster with the other, and almost didn't let them suffer a big loss.

Judging from the current posture, if these disciples are let go today, it may be a big trouble next time.

Faith is immortal, and the gods are immortal.

Xie Guozhong faintly felt that these guys might have mastered the key to reviving the old gods.

The Old World did have great opportunities, but it also gave these old believers a great boost.

So even if it was a little risk, he decided that this time he had to strangle these old believers here.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

“.”

The battle from the direction of the camp was fierce.

Xie Guozhong went back.

Ji Xun and the others didn't run around in the dangerous undead shady scenes.

The five of them waited where they were.

Xie Guozhong's combat power is extraordinary, and he also carries a number of pieces of equipment for the old believers, and the people of the Silver Moon Sect may not be able to get benefits without the killing move of angels.

And it turned out to be exactly what they expected.

Not long after the battle took place, the dark necromantic aura around him gradually dissipated.

The vision gradually cleared.

The outline of the illuminated camp also came into view.

However, when I looked at it at this time, the steel-cast mechanical camp was already in ruins.

The walls of thick steel plates and rivets were full of energy-washed gaps, and the buildings in the camp were destroyed.

The silver moon in the sky is gone.

You can guess the ending by looking at this stance.

Now that the old believers have retreated, there is no need to run around.

Ji Xun and the five of them went all the way back to the dilapidated camp.

As soon as I walked in, I looked at the ruins, Xie Guozhong, who was wearing a windbreaker, was sitting on an iron box, smoking a cigarette, thinking about something with a solemn expression.

The assistant Ah Wen walked over, looked around, and asked, "Captain?" What about the Old Days? ”

Xie Guozhong said lightly: "Ran away." ”

As he spoke, he exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth and said, "The old followers of the Silver Moon Sect have become a climate, and the situation of faith contamination is worse than we expected. This time, let's write the report in detail. I hope to attract the attention of the high-level. ”

"Yes, Captain."

With this, the mushroom head on the side also took out a notebook and carefully wrote a record report.

After Xie Guozhong finished speaking, he didn't speak again for a long time.

Ji Xun also looked at the camp, and strangely there was no corpse.

It's like the sea water is receding, taking away the fish and shrimp.

The undead black tide receded, taking the corpse with it.

The huge camp was empty and gloomy.

If you don't witness what happened with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one will dare to believe that there are tens of thousands of living people in this ruin not long ago, and it is very lively.

The crisis has passed, and not far away, the old man Xu, who is missing his front teeth, has completely lost the panic he had when he fled just now.

He was also not polite at all, quietly rummaged through the ruins, found something, and muttered from time to time: "Ouch, I have made a fortune~"

This obscene and greedy for money looks like he can't see the bearing of the mysterious master before him from head to toe.

But the more this is the case, the more mysterious Ji Xun feels when he looks at this old man.

It feels like the mystery of seeing an incomprehensible cataclysm.

didn't have to think about it much, at this time, he suddenly heard Xie Guozhong shouting not far away: "Old man Xu, come over for a drink?" ”

Ji Xun looked over, Xie Guozhong didn't know where to find two barrels of beer that hadn't been broken, and greeted with a smile.

He seems to be in a good state of mind, and he can't see the depression and depth on his face just now, only a hearty and heroic smile at the moment.

Old man Xu heard that there was wine to drink, and ran over, "Okay." ”

Saying that, Xie Guozhong didn't forget to greet Ji Xun and said, "This brother, let's have a drink together?" ”

"Okay."

Ji Xun listened to greet himself, thought for a moment, and walked over.

Together with the two assistants, the six people who had fled together sat on the edge of the table made of rotten wooden planks and drank together.

Ji Xun originally didn't want to deal with official people, after all, he still had the identity of an "assassin".

But now the situation is a little more delicate, because he has a [angel] in his hand.

If the other party is really malicious, he wants to leave, but he may not be able to really leave.

But apparently not.

And Xie Guozhong made a good impression on him.

Refreshing, heroic, and upright.

In the current situation, he is also interested in getting in touch with it.

Another thing, Ji Xun is very interested in the secret method of the evil ghost, and he also covets the cross left in the camp.

The Light and Dark Cross soaked in the blood of the Angel God could not be stored in the storage space, and now that the Angel is gone, the use of this cross is not too great for those Silvermoon believers.

Probably too heavy, I stayed behind when I fled.

But after all, this is Xie Guozhong's trophy, and he is ready to take it away as evidence.

Ji Xun thought that since he invited himself to drink, he thought that he could talk.

The six of them sat down, poured wine, got some dried meat and something to eat, and chatted on the ruins.

It can be regarded as having shared hardships, and several people are not as angry as before.

"Old man Xu, where have you been all these years?"

"You saved me once. In an extradimensional space. The secret method of hiding the crotch of the head is still what Ling taught me at the beginning."

"Do you remember what the hell you were looking for? Maybe I can help now. ”

"Forgot all?"

“.”

Now the situation is not critical, and a few people can talk about inconsequential things.

Xie Guozhong originally wanted to catch up with Old Man Xu.

A few people next to him were also curious about their relationship.

However, after this chat, I realized that Old Man Xu had forgotten everything.

The old man seems to have very severe senile amnesia, and the memories of more than a year are almost forgotten.

Through the dialogue between the two, Ji Xun also knew why Old Man Xu was running around in the different dimensional spaces.

Not for treasure hunting, not for life.

It's about finding something.

I thought it was a treasure that was hard to find.

But what surprised everyone the most was that even Old Man Xu himself didn't remember what "something" he was looking for.

It's important to only know.

When I met Xie Guozhong twenty years ago, he was looking for it.

Still looking for it.

It seems that he has forgotten something very important in time, and he wants to get it back.

Not only did he forget Xie Guozhong, but he even forgot his own name.

But I didn't forget that I was looking for something that was important to me.

Even the ability to draw incantations with bare hands before was not something he really remembered.

Rather, it is more like a muscle memory engraved in the soul, and when it encounters a critical situation, it is drawn casually.

Old man Xu didn't seem to care about the past, but he was not as good as a wine glass.

Many things were recalled to him by the young man named "Che Er" next to him.

The boy is an orphan that Old Man Xu met in the City of Innocence.

The old man was lonely, and the young man didn't dislike it, so he became a little follower.

It also became his "notepad".

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard Old Man Xu's story, but he was also a little embarrassed.

Most of them were chatting with Xie Guozhong and Old Man Xu, and the others didn't speak much.

Ji Xun also sat in the corner.

At this time, Xie Guozhong raised his wine glass and headed towards Ji Xun.

He didn't have the slightest sense of oppression from a master, and grinned very kindly: "What do you call a brother?" ”

"Ji Xun."

Ji Xun didn't hide it.

Xie Guozhong listened and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Ji Xun is very powerful." The last time I saw you in the City of Innocence, I knew you were anything but human. When I look at it now, I really didn't look away."

There is no mention of assassination in the middle of the sentence, but it is clearly an assassination.

After all, the war mode buried the three hundred beast legions, which must be a difficult plot.

But he survived, and that's the real thing.

Ji Xun was also a little surprised that this official person didn't ask about the details of the assassination, but cared about this.

But when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency thinks too highly of me. ”

This is not modesty.

In front of others, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

But at this table, he didn't dare to hold it up.

Not to mention Xie Guozhong and the mysterious old man Xu, even those two young assistants, Ji Xun felt that it was not simple.

The only one who thinks he can see through it is probably the boy named Che Er.

Even if it was a temptation, Xie Guozhong said it frankly and directly.

At this time, he asked, "I'm just curious, you're not from the Thirteen Kamen Riders, and which one do you work for?" ”

After all, it's an official person, and a lot of things still need to be investigated.

Ji Xun said: "I don't play for anyone." I'm a solo hunter. ”

"Lone hunter?"

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong glanced at him more, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

You must know that the spell card master pays attention to the accumulation of resources, such as demon marks, breathing methods, martial arts, equipment, and so on.

A lone wanderer without power, no matter how talented he is, it is difficult to go far.

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong became interested and asked, "Brother Ji Xun, are you interested in joining our 'Federal X Bureau'?" I'm optimistic about you. If you are genuinely interested, I can be your introducer. The entry procedures will be simple."

"This"

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard this.

This man didn't care at all about his assassination of a high-ranking nobleman?

Being able to join Game X is similar to the feeling of going ashore in the previous life.

For civilians, it's a pie-in-the-sky opportunity.

But Ji Xun couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

He likes this world only because it is mysterious, dangerous, and exciting enough to make his soul feel alive.

Rather than looking for a secure job.

He thought that the other party invited him, probably for the "angel"?

The two assistants on the side couldn't hide their surprise when they heard this, and they wondered why their captain would invite a stranger.

You must know that the threshold for recruiting people in Bureau X is very high.

Almost all of the best graduates of Confederation College are eligible for interns.

It's like the two of them.

The first is to ensure the origin of the personnel in the bureau.

The second is strength.

Dragon City Federal Academy is a sacred place for spellmasters.

It can be said that those who graduate from the Federation College may not be able to become high-level spell masters;

However, at present, more than eighty percent of the existing high-level spell card masters have studied at the Federation Academy.

The two of them didn't expect that their captain would be so keen on a place like Innocence City to meet a lone hunter?

"I might want to think about that."

Ji Xun didn't directly refuse.

I always feel that there may be some contact with this official organization in the future.

"Yes. Think about it. I thought I would be tied down when I was younger, but it was good in practice."

Xie Guozhong smiled heartily and expressed his understanding.

His words are very sincere, and there is no sense of oppression in the invitation, it is really like a friend.

Thinking about it, Ji Xun didn't hide it, and said his purpose: "Before that, if you can, then [Light and Darkness Cross] is it. Give me? Or maybe a swap? I think I'm probably going to need this."

He could also see that Xie Guozhong's observation was very keen, even if he only glanced at the cross just now.

The other party had already guessed that he was interested in that thing.

I wanted to say to buy it, but apparently the other party was not short of money.

Therefore, I can only vaguely imply that there is an angel in me who needs this thing.

If it doesn't work, swap.

Although the angel was in the holy nail, Ji Xun didn't dare to say that it was his own.

But there is no doubt that the nail is its own.

At present, it seems that the cross is worth more than an uncontrollable angel.

"This"

When Xie Guozhong heard this, his decisive character also showed a rare expression of embarrassment.

He didn't know that Ji Xun wanted the cross for the blood of the gods on it, but thought it was for the angel sealed in the holy nail.

But in fact, inviting Ji Xun, in addition to really thinking that he is very suitable for the chaotic order of "extralegal fanatics", it is only one of them.

There is another important reason.

That's Bureau X's containment procedures.

You must know that the taboo existence of [Weeping Angel], which can cause widespread death, is the focus of their X Bureau to contain.

But now that the cause and effect of the angel is on Ji Xun's body, rashly bringing the holy nail, maybe there will be a big problem.

The correct way to deal with it is to take this person with you.

But it's certainly not right to take it away.

So the best option is to get him in Game X.

There are many talents in the bureau, and there is one more angel, killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Guozhong said: "This matter is too involved, and it is difficult for me to make a decision." ”

Ji Xun frowned when he looked at him, obviously knowing that this matter was very difficult.

Not embarrassed by the relics of the cross.

It's about how to get the angels away.

This thing got out of control before it existed, and it took the lives of tens of thousands of people.

If it gets out of control in some big cities, it's hard to imagine the consequences.

Containment and containment, sealed in the headquarters warehouse, is the most reasonable choice.

Xie Guozhong was embarrassed, which showed that he didn't think about forcing it.

With his strength, it's totally okay.

Ji Xun is also very self-aware, and he doesn't feel that he has the ability to control such a dangerous existence.

They all thought he would refuse,

Thinking about bartering.

But he didn't think about it, but this guy suddenly changed his words, and seemed to suddenly think of some good way: "Otherwise, let's do it." Let's take a gamble. Roll the dice to bet on the size. If you win, the cross will be given to you. If I win, I'll take it. By the way, please come with me to the bureau, and then consider whether to join after the visit? ”

When Ji Xun heard this, he also squinted slightly, and immediately responded: "Okay!" ”

He had little interest in gambling in general.

But he was also very interested in this gamble, which always felt that winning or losing would be related to the fate of the future.

Xie Guozhong also smiled happily when he heard this, "Okay! ”

Not only did Ji Xun have a good impression of him, but he also had a very good impression of the young man in front of him.

But as soon as these words came out, the assistant Awen on the side changed his expression, and anxiously reminded: "Captain! ”

She knew that the rules of the bureau were not binding on her captain.

But that was sometime else.

The last time I gave up the body of the "epidemic doctor" Hesse to this person, forget it.

How could such a big problem be taken away by an unknown person?

Xie Guozhong smiled and waved his hand, signaling that the assistant did not need to speak.

Out of nowhere, he pulled out three dice and tapped them lightly on the table.

It seems to be just a small action before the dice are rolled, and no one at the table notices anything unusual.

But the old man Xu on the side seemed to see something, and raised his eyebrows and glanced at it more.

He saw the laws of order flowing on the dice.

But he didn't speak.

Ji Xun naturally didn't see anything so profound, but he vaguely sensed something as if fate was beating.

Xie Guozhong rolled the dice, and Gurgling flipped on the table.

Several people's eyes were fixed on the three dice and stopped.

In the end, it was fixed on the number of "3, 4, 5".

It's not small, but it's not big either.

Xie Guozhong looked at the points he took, glanced at his brows, and muttered: "Your luck is not bad." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Xun and said, "It's your turn." ”

Ji Xun didn't have much to think about, and picked up three dice.

It was just the moment he was about to throw it, and he felt a throbbing in his heart for a moment, as if he had a feeling of holding the pulse of fate.

There is a stronger feeling than when I gambled with the dog in 407.

This feeling of holding fate in his hands always gives him an inexplicable confidence and excitement.

He grinned suddenly.

Xie Guozhong, who was on the other side, saw this scene, as if he had noticed something, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Ji Xun threw out the dice.

The dice roll on the table, and then the number of "666" appears.

The people at the table were dumbfounded.

The two young assistants blinked, a little incredulous.

If it weren't cheating, this luck would be too good, right?

Even Old Man Xu looked at him suspiciously.

Ji Xun didn't have any waves in his heart, as if he was bound to win.

Xie Guozhong looked at the point, his eyes narrowed slightly.

But after a moment, he was relieved and smiled heartily, "Okay." You win, what's yours! ”

If it was any other point, he would still have some doubts about whether he had made the right choice.

But 666, that is, there is no better option than this.

Order made a choice for him, and there was no need to dwell on it.

Saying that, Xie Guozhong raised his glass again: "Drink!" ”

Ji Xun also smiled, "Thank you." ”

The two of them relied on rolling the dice to complete a game that would scare people to death when they said it.

Seeing this result, the assistant Awen's face was very stiff, and she always felt that this was too child's play.

The mushroom head on the side also had a bitter look on his face and asked, "Ah Captain, how do I write this report?" ”

Xie Guozhong took a sip and said disappreciatively: "How to write something?" The Silvermoon Cult fled, and the whereabouts of the cross and angel are unknown. How else can it be written? ”

Mushroomhead: "Oh. ”

And just when Ji Xun was drinking in the camp.

An armored steam train also sped from the Innocence Nuggets Harbor towards the Thunder Fortress camp.

This is the Lionheart investigative team.

In a carriage with a tight barrier, a man and a woman sat here.

No guards were present.

Lonely men and widows.

The man is dressed in a crisp gray military uniform and has his trademark blonde hair, handsome and steady. But he also has a highly recognizable scar on his left eye, which gives people a sense of oppression of an iron-blooded soldier.

The four shoulders of the military uniform will shine brightly.

This is none other than the youngest four-star general in the Federation, the real power of the Lionheart family, "Golden Lion" Carlo!

This one also has an identity, that is, the second uncle of the young man Karn who had just been assassinated.

And across from him, sat a woman dressed in a gorgeous red court dress.

The woman is young and similar to Carlo, but there is no trace of age on her face, but she is extravagant, and her eyebrows give people a sense of pride that has been in a high position for a long time.

"The five families of the federal parliamentarians are still discussing how to divide the cake of the Old World. The conservatives even suggested the complete destruction of the City of Innocence and the disconnection of the link channel of the Old World.

"The impact of the Old World was just too great. No one can guarantee what will be found in this land of miracles. It is normal for those in the parliament to be in high positions and enjoy privileges for too long, and they are afraid that someone will shake the power they already have, and they do not want to change the existing situation."

"By the time those greedy politicians negotiate, we will already have a foothold in the Old World."

"General Carlo. Don't forget what you promised me. ”

"Of course, ma'am. You have the most complete information on the Old Continent, and we in the Lionhearts have the strongest military in the Federation, so our cooperation will be a pleasure. ”

“.”

The two had a good conversation and got the results they wanted.

At the end, the woman in the red dress also got up, smiled and bowed her head: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Even though Carlo was already one of the figures at the pinnacle of power in the federal military, he didn't dare to despise the woman in front of him, stood up, and held her hand very gentlemanly.

The woman in the red dress smiled charmingly, "Then don't disturb the general's rest." It should be almost time at Thunder Fortress, and I'll go back and change my clothes. ”

Carlo nodded and beckoned, "Come on, send Madame back." ”

The carriage door opened, and the maid came in and respectfully greeted the beautiful lady.

After the winner left, at this time, an old man in a black tuxedo walked in and held a telegram: "General, I just got the telegram that the 17th Legion of the Beast Legion has been drawn and is heading to the City of Innocence. Arrive in five days. ”

When Carlo heard this, he sneered: "Hehe, my waste nephew, but he has done the family a great favor. ”

The old man was Carlo's most trusted staff, and he also planned this matter, saying, "Yes." Without the assassination, if the army of the Beast Legion wants to enter the City of Innocence, those high councilors of the Federation will definitely stop it. The Cao family, who is still nominally the governor of Innocence City, will definitely be the first to jump out against it. ”

Carlo said: "It's all dealt with?" ”

The old man said, "Yes, General. Even if someone does find out, it is Lieutenant General Reko of the Iron Hand Legion who is hanging a bounty on the black market. After all, Master Karn had just tortured and killed his only daughter. It has nothing to do with us, and your trip was arranged months in advance, so no one will doubt your motives. ”

Carlo thought that nothing was missing, and after a moment's silence, he added, "Hmm." After the legion moves in, get rid of the big gangs in Innocence City as soon as possible. Take control of the Nugget Dock early, recruit good hunters, and prepare for the large-scale exploitation of the Old World. ”

"Yes."

The old man nodded, and then gestured outside the carriage: "What about the lady?" ”

Hearing this, Carlo's eyes flashed sharply, and he shook his head and said, "Those remnants of the old era are too naïve. The current Dragon City is no longer the supreme royal court, and the strength of the major families of the Federation is much stronger than that of the Orlan Dynasty back then, how can they be able to restore it successfully? However, they still have use value for the time being, so they will cooperate temporarily according to those conditions, and the infiltration of the special agent team will also be intensified."

The follow-up plot has not been sorted out, and there is only one chapter today. I'm sorry everyone~

(End of chapter)
