Chapter 20: Ji Yun

Seeing the familiar faces, the memories of my youth came to mind.

Ji Yun, this is a name that he left a strong mark on his memory.

When he was young, Ji Yun was both his neighbor and his classmate.

He clearly remembers playing card battle games with Ji Yun when he was a child, winning a set of cards that Ji Yun had worked hard to collect in three days, and owing him another 90 cards.

In Ji Yun's words, at that time, his debt pressure was greater than that of his father's mortgage repayment, and he even felt that his life was ruined.

It wasn't until Ji Yun suddenly moved that the "huge amount of arrears" was written off.

I haven't seen him for almost eight years, but my childhood memories when I spent time with Ji Yun are still impressive.

In addition to the huge amount of arrears, there is also Ji Yun's always enthusiastic momentum and grand dreams.

Perhaps influenced by superhero movies, anime, novels, and other content, Ji Yun's character can be summed up in six words: "two teenagers in hot blood".

One of the phrases that often comes on my lips is:

"If humanity is in crisis one day, I will step up."

But he understood that Ji Yun was not joking at that time.

I still remember when I was in elementary school, Ji Yun exercised with him in the playground and found that the classmates in his own class on the football field had a conflict with the classmates in the upper grades.

Ji Yun didn't even hesitate at all, he stepped forward decisively, and dragged him to be beaten up by his senior classmates.

Another time, on the way home from school, I encountered a vicious dog.

Ji Yun took the initiative to stand up in front of him, the schoolbag danced in his hand, and after exhaustion, he was bitten by a vicious dog, and was sent to the hospital by his parents for rabies vaccination that night.

There are many similar incidents, and Ji Yun usually likes to pull him to do good deeds after school.

Helping grandma cross the road is even more commonplace, justice and kindness are obsessions engraved in Ji Yun's bones.

The Ji Yun in his memory is always full of passion, and all kinds of second-class and second-class bloody lines come at his fingertips.

The past flashed through my mind like a slideshow.

Seeing each other again, Ji Yun was still the same as he remembered in addition to his black hair, which turned into white hair, and he didn't want to affect the people around him in the face of danger, so he took the initiative to turn around and run.

If it was a stranger, Su Nian would never help, so as not to get into trouble.

But the other party is Ji Yun, a good brother who stood on the balcony with him when he was young to share snacks, hugged his fists and shouted to the moon that he did not want to be born in the same year and month, but to die in the same year and month.

The hook and sickle sigil on his left forearm activated, bursting with a faint green glow.

With the metallic sound of chains scraping, a dark green mottled chain appeared around his left forearm, extending rapidly.

When Su Nian raised his left arm, the other end of the hooked sickle hanging under the traction of his consciousness stabbed at the decaying creature not far away at an extremely fast speed.

I saw the hook and sickle slash across the back of the cursed dolphin, shrinking violently, and the sharp barb pierced into the cursed dolphin's body.

Su Nian tugged slightly, and the suspended chain around his left forearm quickly tightened, and the cursed dolphin that was still running was overturned to the ground, and his huge body was plowed and dragged in front of him.

This drag made Su Nian's face pale.

The dragging process was not laborious for him, and it was even extremely easy.

However, to cast the Life-Seeking Hook Scythe, his qi and blood need to be consumed, and this pull will consume a lot of his qi and blood.

Faced with the danger that had not yet been lifted, he endured his physical discomfort and raised his serrated knife and slashed at the neck of the cursed dolphin.

The sawtooth knife pierced the air and let out a sharp roar, slashing at the fluffy neck of the cursed dolphin, and black blood shot out.

After suffering from the pain, the cursed dolphin suddenly raised his head and pressed it against Su Nian's chest, which made him lose his mind for a moment.

It was as if the bones were falling apart as if they were about to fall apart, and the pain spread from the chest to the body, and the body was thrown backwards several meters away.

But this also aggravated the curse dolphin's injury, and while Su Nian was knocked into the air, he still firmly grasped the serrated knife, and tore a gap in the neck of the cursed dolphin under inertia, and the blood couldn't stop flowing.

The cursed dolphin who fell to the ground quickly got up, its red eyes were full of anger, it shook its head, let out a hoarse roar in its throat, and then stepped out of its limbs and crashed straight into Su Nian who fell to the ground.

Facing the attacking curse dolphin, Su Nian's pupils contracted suddenly, and then slammed to the side.

Rumble!

The sand and dust were flying, and when he turned his head, he saw that the position he was in just now was knocked out of a large crater by the brute force of the cursed dolphin.

The pain enraged the cursed dolphin, and it shook its head to flick the mud and sand that had caught on its hair, then lowered its head and slammed it again.

It was too late to get up and pounce, so Su Nian decisively raised the serrated knife in his hand, ready to collide with the cursed dolphin again.

At the last moment, a phantom passed by him, and he felt his body light, and teleported several meters away.

"It's so dangerous, I almost killed you, but ...... Thank you very much. ”

Being helped to stand firmly, Su Nian looked up and saw Ji Yun's face full of smiles.

"Ah Yun, it's time to pay off the debt back then."

As soon as the words fell, Su Nian's expression froze, and he pushed Ji Yun away in front of him, and threw his left hand at the attacking curse dolphin.

The lifehook scythe arced through the air, piercing into the back of the cursed dolphin.

With a sharp pull, the running curse dolphin leaned forward, its hind limbs off the ground, and rolled forward several times under the action of inertia.

The cursed dolphin, who was already about to be exhausted, was tired this time and struggled to get up, but before he took a step, he fell to the ground with a bang, completely motionless.

"Are you...... Su Nian, my brother! ”

Ji Yun looked at Su Nian's face with a puzzled expression for a few seconds, and then let out a surprised voice.

"Ahem...... Even if I didn't save you in vain, you still recognize me. ”

At this time, Su Nian's face was pale, and he released two life-seeking hook sickles that consumed a lot of qi and blood, causing him to float under his feet, dizzy, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, and his vision became blurred.

At this moment, a faction prompt came to mind:

[Faction Hint (Shadow City): Hunt the Flesh Life Curse Dolphin and gain 32 Blood Points)]

I saw a thin blood mist rise from the surface of the dead cursed dolphin's body, quickly drifting towards him, seeping into his body along the pores.

……

"You're not feeling well, sit down and rest first."

was helped by Ji Yun to sit down, only to see Ji Yun hand him a glass bottle filled with blood-colored liquid:

"This is a primary healing elixir that can quickly replenish physical strength."

Without refusal, Su Nian reached out and took it, unscrewed the lid, and drank the liquid in the glass bottle.

The cold liquid slid down his throat, and he suddenly felt a warm current in his abdomen, which quickly swam through his body, and the dizziness dissipated.

Su Nian is no stranger to healing potions.

According to the Returnee's description on the real network, this is one of the items that are always available in the Recruit Soldier's shop.

Although it is not possible to regenerate severed limbs, it can quickly help recruit soldiers repair their injuries and replenish their physical strength and qi and blood.

Such a primary healing potion sells for 50 Ember in the Infernal City Shop.

Coming back to his senses, Su Nian looked up at Ji Yun.

Looking at each other, a smile appeared on both of their faces, Su Nian stood up, reached out and punched Ji Yun's shoulder:

"You kid, there was no news after you moved, and you didn't leave me a contact number in advance."

"I was in a hurry...... But we are brothers, and the debts of those years have long been written off over time, and I don't recognize them. ”

Su Nian: ......

Looking at Ji Yun, who said this seriously, he wanted to punch him in the face.
