Chapter 14: The Missing Soul 5: The Orphan Project
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with the eyes of an eagle and a sheep stepped forward from the encirclement of the demons and ghosts, and shouted loudly: "Brother next to you, we just need the person behind you, the sword has no eyes, you hide a little, don't hurt you!" ”
Li Jianguo was desperate to calculate the probability.
Looking at this situation, there are about two people VS seventy or eighty people.
It's over, let alone a weak Huang Si, even the big men of the five big and three thick can't handle so many people?
This time it's a reimbursement.
What else is the ghost of the dead, now I will die first as a respect.
When I was thinking about what to do, I heard Huang Si speak, and he still smiled and grinned like the same: "Oh, I also have a task, this person can't give it to you at the moment, and he still owes me money, you chop him up, who do I look for?" ”
"How much do I owe you?"
"At present, the bounty is fifteen taels, but," Huang Si glanced at Li Jianguo, who was trembling, with his spare eyes, "it will soon become thirty taels." You're right, my lord? ”
Li Jianguo nodded like pounding garlic: If you can really save me, let alone thirty taels, I will give you three thousand taels!
At this time, someone next to the eagle man whispered a few words to him, he glanced at Huang Si, and nodded thoughtfully: "It turns out that you are a yincha." So why should you bother? We already knew that we couldn't pay our salaries, so what's the good of doing things for this ghost government? You throw him over, and we'll eat and drink spicy food together. ”
Huang Si sighed twice and said with a smile: "Hey, after all, it's an iron rice bowl." Besides, if I kill everyone, I'll have to do something anyway, right? Who doesn't have a career ambition? ”
The harpy's voice was low: "No negotiation? ”
"It's not negotiable."
A big knife slashed in front of the two in the blink of an eye, and the eagle man said angrily: "It's just a dead yin, blocking our way, looking for death!" ”
Huang Si supported the ground with his left hand, scooped Li Jianguo under him with his right arm, flashed a heavy slash with a strong force on his side, flew up with a kick, hit the opponent's chin, kicked the opponent dizzily, flew straight backwards, and the weapon in his hand slammed into the ground with a thud.
The ghosts were silent.
The harpy struggled to get up from the ground and touched his chin to kick his hawkbeak crookedly: "Good boy." ”
He looked at the two people in the encirclement again, beckoned lightly, and said lightly:
"Shoot the arrows."
Rain of arrows that obscure the sky...... And it didn't show up.
The group of ghosts did not make any moves, and there seemed to be some discontent whispering among the group of ghosts.
After a while, a ghost shouted, "No, who are you?" Why should we listen to you? It's all from the Soul Killing Order, how can you be so powerful? ”
The eagle man said angrily: "I am the captain of the first detachment of the Xiangying Hall!" You guys don't know what to do, don't we know about it? ”
"Get out!"
"Lao Tzu Fengdu City West Boar King, what are you stupid Captain X calling!"
"What bullshit Lashodo!"
"A fool listens to this kid!"
Li Jianguo suddenly had a bottom in his heart.
Dare to love these people are not a wave of people!
Li Jianguo then whispered to Huang Si: "It seems that they are not united. When they kill each other, we'll just take the opportunity to sneak out! ”
"Well," Huang Si replied in a low voice, "There's a play!" ”
As soon as he finished muttering, he saw the harpy man raise his wings high, make gestures to appease everyone, and shouted: "Everyone! Everyone! I was kicked just now, you see, this little man is not a good stubble! How about we slaughter the two of them first, and then we fight each other for the bounty? ”
There was another whisper in the group of ghosts, and soon the voices rang out one after another:
"It's done!"
"That's pretty much it!"
"Declare in advance, we didn't listen to you to do this, we did it ourselves!"
"Of course, of course, we're going to kill you scum too," the Harpy nodded frequently, and then politely proposed, "Then now, shoot arrows first?" ”
"Okay."
“OK。”
"Very good."
Wow.
Was the temporary front built so quickly?
Li Jianguo didn't even turn his mind, and a sharp arrow had already broken through the air and hit straight at his head.
Huang Si concentrated, shouted, single-handed knife slashed the flying feather in the air into two sections, and then threw the big knife up, kicked it against the handle of the knife, kicked the big knife straight out, the big knife flew out a few meters, and instantly hit an archer with a bow and arrow, and the huge impact force directly pushed the body of the little ghost to fly backwards, and then embedded in the body of a demon ghost behind him before falling down.
There was no time to breathe, just a moment, and the rain of arrows was already speeding down from all directions.
Huang Si pulled out two short blades from his cuffs, dancing swords like flowers. The sound of flying arrows breaking through the air came and went, but it stopped abruptly when he met Huang Si, Li Jianguo only heard the trembling sound of swords and arrows striking beside him, and the cracking sound of arrow handles.
The arrows continued, but none of the arrows could pass through the 360-degree shooting!
Li Jianguo looked at the little man in front of him in shock!
This Huang Si ...... What is the origin?
After a rain of arrows, the ghosts found that Huang Si had not turned into a hedgehog, and was even almost uninjured, and the remnant arrows formed a small circle around the two of them, looking like a small arrow mound.
The harpy hurriedly shouted, "Are you ready for the second round of arrow rain?" Shoot the arrows! Wow squeak ......"
It was the sound of a throwing knife stabbing into the throat.
Huang Si's figure was a lot bigger in an instant, and when he looked closely, Huang Si opened his black robe like a blooming peacock, and countless highlights shone brightly under the robe.
Each highlight is a flying knife, shining like a blazing peacock feather in the sunlight of the sun.
Someone finally recognized Huang Si's identity.
"It's the Lonely Soul! Lonely! ”
The people in the front row were finally fortunate enough to get a closer look at the legendary appearance of the lonely and their fighting posture.
I can only take a glance, and the opportunity for a second view is gone.
Not everyone who arrives in Hades can enjoy the worship of the sun.
Some people, because they have no relatives or have special status, do not receive enough sacrifices.
If you can't even afford a bowl of Meng Po soup, then how these ghosts leave the underworld and enter reincarnation is a problem.
Fortunately, each family has a reserve treasury in case it is needed.
But there are always families who spend extravagantly.
Fortunately, Hades also provides a large number of jobs, and you can work hard to get rich.
But there are always visitors who don't want to pay.
Fortunately, next to the underworld is the eighteen hells, providing the pain of flesh and skin.
But there are always souls that are too innocent.
Fortunately...... Fortunately, there is also a support plan for Hades, which is called "Hades Lonely" by the world.
The "Orphan Project" is aimed at a group of orphans who died in the sun, who came to the underworld, ignorant and helpless. Even if the yang world provided them with a certain amount of sacrifice, they did not have the ability to go through all the processes of reincarnation.
A long time ago, this group of orphans was almost all lonely ghosts, no one cared about, and often wandered in the underworld for hundreds of years, still unable to re-enter reincarnation. There are even some orphans who have been exiled to the yang world and have been refined into some of the evil arts of the alchemists.
After Zhenguan, Fang Xuanling saw the embarrassment of these orphans during his travels in the underworld, and he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded Hades to set up the "Orphan Project".
To put it simply, it is to adopt these orphans at the expense of Hades and raise them to adulthood.
Correspondingly, orphans are required to undergo hell training in Hades during their adoption, and they are also required to serve Hades in the future. Their training place was not in Fengdu, but in the Abyss Academy on the shore of the Nine Shadows.
The Abyss Academy accommodates nearly six or seven hundred orphans a year, but there are no more than ten graduates who walk out of the Abyss every year.
These leaders who have successfully walked out of the abyss are the orphans.
Although few people know the Orphans, most of the inhabitants of the Underworld know the legends and stories of the Orphans, and in the previous two battles of the Demons, the Orphans have played an important role on the battlefield and are one of the most feared troops in the Demon Realm.
Of course, it is also better known for the emblem of the Lonely Being: a dagger stuck in an inverted triangle.
But for some reason, decades ago, the Abyss Academy was completely closed, and those famous Underworld orphans were completely lost from the Hades.
Some people speculate that maybe it was the birds that were hidden after the victory, or maybe the hell was completely liquidated by the underworld; Some people also speculate that the orphan may have achieved fame and reincarnated with sufficient military exploits.
But there is another possibility that is overlooked......
Is it possible that all the people who know the identity of the orphan have been liquidated?
It is indeed possible.
And it's very likely.
For some, this possibility is a foregone conclusion.
Without exception, a shiny knife grew out of their heads.
Flying knives slanted out from Huang Si's body like a torrential rain, engulfing everyone in the encirclement like a huge wave.
Like a rolling stone smashed into a calm lake, the ripples cast by the flying knives quickly dispersed, and wherever they hit, they were either killed or injured.
The twenty or thirty demons in the innermost encirclement, no matter what their names were before, can now be uniformly named unlucky ghosts. And the cries and cries of their souls before they were scattered were indeed much louder than their names in the underworld.
The other, slightly luckier demons, either found suitable cover or found suitable flesh and used them to fend off the attacks of the throwing knives.
But those evil spirits who find the right body are not so lucky, because they forget that they are already ghosts, and the "body" after the death of the ghost should actually be called a spirit body, which will turn into three souls and seven spirits and fall apart.
So they also became hedgehogs without exception.
Until the last flying knife shot out, Huang Si stood in place, looking around, the spirits of many unlucky ghosts turned into pitch-black ghosts and dissipated, and outside of them, there were thirty or forty people who quietly poked their heads out from behind the bunker.
Huang Si threw the knife in his left hand to Li Jianguo under him, and sighed: "My lord, I have to say, the bounty of thirty taels is still too little...... If you can't use force now, it's almost a burden, and I can't leave you half a step now, or we'll be consumed here sooner or later. In case something happens to me, you can defend yourself with this knife, and maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”
Li Jianguo squatted on the ground, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and tried to pick up Huang Si's knife with difficulty with the strength of milk, clenched his teeth, and his green tendons flared up, and finally lifted the handle of the knife to the height of half a toe.
Wow...... Is it so heavy?
Not to mention self-defense, thank God for being able to lift it without cutting off half of your foot.
Seeing that a few more little demons tried to draw a bow and arrow, Li Jianguo hurriedly said with concern: "Let's fight, Huang Si!" Leave me alone or ......"
"Okay!"
There is reason to suspect that Huang Si is waiting for this sentence. Because Huang Si had shot straight out like a meteor in the blink of an eye, the explosion wind under his feet instantly rose up with billowing smoke and dust, and the short sword in his right hand stabbed straight into the throat of an evil ghost a few meters away, killing the evil ghost instantly.
At the moment when the evil ghost was scattered, Huang Si used the evil ghost's chest as a pedal, stepped on it heavily, jumped up in the group of ghosts, swooped down at an incredible angle, and cut off the bow handle set up by the other party with a knife, the blade went down the arm, and the whole arm was cut off in an instant, and the wrist was just lightly mentioned, and there was an unhealable wound on the opponent's throat, and before he could fall, Huang Si had already cut off the legs of another evil ghost, and he didn't even have time to listen to the other party's cry.
The cries of the ghosts were mixed with overflowing spirits, which burst and dissipated like pimples on the face of an adolescent boy.
One after another, like an esports master playing with ease.
Li Jianguo was stunned and looked at Huang Si who jumped up from time to time in the enemy group.
Bloody, violent.
The sideburns are stained with blood, and the sword is ruthless.
This is not the Huang Si that Li Jianguo knew before at all.
That's right, the body and clothes are still Huang Si, but the look in his eyes is ......
Li Jianguo remembered that Huang Si's eyes before were the same as himself, they seemed to be wrapped in a layer of oil stains, and you couldn't see what was under this layer of oil stains.
Li Jianguo thought that under the oil stains was nothing more than some unsightly filth.
Now he knew that under this layer of oil stains, there was a killing machine, a killing machine that shone with a cold light.
At least at this moment, in Huang Si's eyes, there was only fierce blood collapsing and scorching sword light.
However, the battle is still not optimistic, and more and more ghosts have gathered from all over the world to join the battlefield.
At this time, there was no light in Li Jianguo's eyes.
Because he was sacked over his head.
There were also whispers from a few imps outside the sack:
"Let's drag this kid away while he doesn't notice this, and if he doesn't notice, we'll slaughter him!" If he notices, this is our hostage! ”
Li Jianguo felt a little suffocated, maybe it was not a good idea to let Huang Si go to kill the enemy just now.
The only thing Li Jianguo could think of to do now was to panic.
So he did it, and not only that, but he played at a super level, and now he's ...... Very panicked.
Li Jianguo stretched out his hand vigorously and tried to open the sack on top of his head. But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free of those palms that held him down.
Huang Si also caught a glimpse of Li Jianguo's encounter in the gap between the sword light and blood shadows, turned around and blocked the heavy slash of the person next to him, kicked at the opponent's knife handle, kicked his toes, and galloped towards Li Jianguo like a cannonball!
A few more people stood in front of Huang Si, waving their knives at Huang Si's door and slashing at him.
Huang Si had no choice but to raise a knife to block it, looking at Li Jianguo's back as he was dragged away and gradually moving away, Huang Si shouted loudly:
"Master Li! I can't get by! Even if you only have 1/10,000 of your strength, use it! ”
Nonsense, if I really have power, wouldn't I use it? I like to be pulled over by a sack? Are sack pullovers fashionable?
Li Jianguo's fingers stiffly grabbed the other party's wrist, and he couldn't move a single inch at all. Li Jianguo was angry, and his hands clenched into fists and hit that wrist fiercely.
Another sensation of electric shock.
The hands that choked his body seemed to lose their strength in an instant, and Li Jianguo's body was without support, and he fell backwards to the ground.
There were several heavy noises from outside the sack.
Li Jianguo propped himself up, and the sack above his head was taken off.
In front of him was a man covered in blood, and his appearance could be vaguely discerned from the bloodstains.
It's Huang Si, the Huang Si who is out of breath and breathing unevenly.
Li Jianguo looked around.
The surrounding smoke and dust have not completely dispersed, and under the thick smoke, several figures who have fallen to the ground can be vaguely seen.
When the smoke cleared, a radius of thirty meters, and the land was charred black. There was not a single person standing around, everyone fell to the ground in despair, and several spirits began to scatter, black smoke billowing out.
Huang Si threw the sack aside, supported his knees with both hands, and said while panting hard:
"My lord, this is ...... One ten-thousandth of your power? ”
I...... My power?
The Venerable One in the darkness sneezed. To be precise, it was a shiver.
Soon it will be the usual time for his subordinates to report, but now there is no need to report, and His Holiness can guess the progress of the matter to some extent.
Forget it, don't think about them yet.
Whisking left and right, he got up from the brightly lit hall and paced slowly towards the rooftop.
On the roof, he collided with the howling wind, and the air on the roof was very refreshing, and there was a lot less sweat and mockery at the bottom.
He opened his hand and let the wind bypass his palm like a pet, greeting each other like a long-time best friend.
Looking through the buildings under his feet, he seemed to see the ancient city, free and open.
But now, the whole Fengdu is like cockroaches and ants entrenched in the sewers, forcing people to invent new ways to eliminate pests.
Not to mention, Fengdu ...... He doesn't have a sewer yet!
Nauseating! Disgusting!
The city should have been torn down and rebuilt a long time ago!
It's still a little bit of time......
Of course, sacrifice is necessary, and it is only a small price to pay for freedom.
If there is no Li Jianguo...... Everything will fall into place.
Li Jianguo...... Can't you go toe-to-toe with him?
In this case......
His Holiness gently twisted his hand, as if rubbing his hair in a bun in the wind, and slowly turned around, returning to Fengdu City, which was submerged in the shadows again.
