Chapter 26: Nothing Good Now, Right?
"What now?"
Shilan got out of the flying car and asked Christopher straight to the point:
"Do you need me to go to Noir City or Huanglong City again and slaughter all those angry idiots?"
Christopher was dressed in a black suit at this time, and shook his head with a serious expression:
"The plan has changed, I just observed with my ability that the unknown energy in the air has increased, and my lord's family may be about to descend."
"What? So fast? Why? ”
Xi Lan was taken aback, according to their previous observations, it would take at least three days for the Lord of Flesh and Blood's dependents to arrive, why did they suddenly advance so much?
"I don't know why, but I guess it has something to do with the resistance of the inhabitants here," Christopher shook his head and analyzed his opinion to Syllan:
"We've had so many ceremonies before, only this one met with massive resistance, and now that the ritual has been going on for so long, the actual death toll is less than a third of what was expected. Perhaps this is why my lord is angry. ”
“……”
Xi Lan wanted to complain about the weak chickens under the Lord of Flesh and Blood, and he couldn't even clean up a group of ordinary people, but thinking of the indescribable voice of the Lord of Flesh and Blood before, he swallowed the words back into his stomach again, and just opened his mouth to continue asking:
"Where's the advent location?"
"Right here," Christopher pointed in the direction of downtown Zatze, "it's three hours later, so let's go over and wait together." As soon as our lord's family arrives, we will communicate the organization's intentions, and then we will assist our lord's family and harvest the flesh and blood of the humans who are still resisting, and then we can prepare to evacuate. ”
“…… Boring. ”
Shiran shrugged his shoulders, got back into the car, picked up Christopher, and sped away where the Lord of Flesh's family might be.
Yang Wuji, who was not far away, was a little dumbfounded, this change was really beyond his expectations.
"Doesn't it mean that there must be a large number of sacrifices in order to summon the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood? How did it turn out that the opposite side could take the initiative to come? The information of the Academy of Sciences can be wrong...... What should I do now? ”
He hesitated a little, it stands to reason that this is also a great opportunity, since the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood are coming, it is bound to open the Otherworldly Passage, but the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood are very strong, and Yang Wuji's concealment and invisibility do not know how effective it is.
If these hidden talents have little effect on the dependents of the Lord of Flesh, he wants to be discovered by the other party when he sneaks over and drops the locator when he opens the passage.
At that time, if he can't beat the other party, then his life will be lost.
Even if Yang Wuji has beaten the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood, now that the Lord of Flesh and Blood can take the initiative to descend on his dependents, when the time comes, if he really fights, who knows if he will lose a few more dependents over, or even if he is in a hurry, he will simply take action in person!
Then a hair?
Even Jerry, an investigator at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, admitted that he couldn't beat it.
“…… Fight! ”
After a while, a plan came to mind, Yang Wuji gritted his teeth, and resolutely followed Xi Lan and the others.
Twenty minutes later, the speeding car of the two of them stopped in front of an extremely tall black building.
"This is it." Christopher and Shelan got out of the car at the same time and looked up and squinted at the building.
It is a public facility similar to a gymnasium, which is usually used for sports and gambling competitions.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
As soon as Xi Lan and the others got off the station, two blocks away from the two of them, a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded.
"What's going on?" Shilan looked at Christopher:
"This must be a dead city, right? Whether it's human or weird...... My master's servants should be gone, how can there still be the sound of battle? Old dog, do you know anything about your abilities? ”
Christopher frowned, and according to his ability's feedback, there was no sign of life in the direction of the explosion, and shook his head at Silan.
"I'll go check on the situation." Xi Lan smacked, closed the door, and casually made a black metal plate out of the metal elements on the ground, and stood on it, ready to take off.
"Be careful," Christopher admonished, "since my abilities can't be detected, the other party may have a way to block the detection." ”
Xi Lan glanced at him, nodded, and didn't say much, just manipulated the metal plate and carried her in the direction where the explosion came from.
At the same time, a black light flashed on her body, and the inconspicuous black long-sleeved shirt and short skirt she was wearing suddenly turned into a liquid form, covering her whole body, even the metal plates under her feet.
Then a burst of light and shadow distorted, and Xi Lan's whole person entered an invisible state, disappearing into the air.
Five minutes later, Xi Lan arrived at the scene of the explosion, and she controlled the iron plate to fall silently, and then remained invisible while carefully probing the traces left at the scene.
The explosion site was just ordinary houses and shops, but the explosion itself was not caused by the destruction of equipment and facilities, but appeared as if it appeared out of thin air.
"It's ...... Fire? ”
Looking at the traces of the scene being bombed and scorched by the nameless force, Xi Lan became more and more careful.
Although she is not afraid to fight with the Stranger, now is the critical period of the plan, and if she can, she will not have any extraneous branches.
"The question is, what is this man with fire-based abilities fighting against?"
Sylan investigates around, and she finds nothing but a fire-type aderic who is crazy and throwing fireballs around, blindly bombarding the buildings around her.
"This person wants to be ...... Attracting attention? …… Turning the tiger away from the mountain?! …… Not good! Something is going to happen to the old dog! ”
Xi Lan gathered all the clues, stood in place and thought for a while, suddenly thought of a possibility, her face changed, she immediately took out a special communicator shaped like a beetle from her arms, and contacted Christopher:
"Old dog, be careful with ......"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Xi Lan suddenly found that his whole body was wrapped in a nameless force, and he couldn't even move his tongue, and he was suddenly shocked.
"Is the target me?"
In shock, Xi Lan, who froze in place, saw that a fair-skinned arm appeared out of thin air from behind her, and crushed the special communicator in her hand, and at the same time, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in her ear:
"Roast durian in the microwave, the roasted durian is-like, future people, this is the last lesson of life that Lao Tzu taught you."
“??”
……
Ten minutes later, Christopher was hiding in the reception at the main entrance of the gymnasium, observing the situation outside, and he was hesitating inwardly whether to rush to the place where the explosion had just occurred to see how Xilan was doing.
Judging from Xi Lan's last sentence and the sudden interruption of communication between the two, there is a high probability that she was attacked.
But if the other party is an enemy that Xilan can't solve, Christopher can only deliver food in the past, and his ability is only the ability to explore, and in terms of combat ability alone, it is not as good as an ordinary member of the Special Task Force of the Public Security Bureau.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a figure fall in mid-air.
It was a tall, dark-haired, black long-sleeved shirt and short skirt, and it looked like Xi Lan.
"What just happened?" Seeing her appear, Christopher hurriedly walked out of the gymnasium and asked to meet Sylvan.
Xi Lan pointed to his throat, his face was very bad, and he opened his mouth and spit out a very hoarse voice:
"When you run into a madman, you use the sound of an explosion to lure people over, and you kill people when you see them, I just wanted to remind you that I was hit in the throat and the communicator was broken."
After speaking, she paused and added:
"But don't worry, that madman is not crazy now, and I will cure him forever."
Christopher listened to Xilan's words, feeling that her choice of words was a little awkward, but he didn't care, the point was that the problem was solved, and then he just had to wait for the family of the Lord of Flesh to come with peace of mind.
"Let's go in first," he pointed to the gymnasium, "I'll call the ship here later, it's safe, and when the mission is complete, we'll evacuate from here." ”
Xi Lan nodded and didn't speak, just coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
"You've run out of potion?" Christopher asked casually as he led the way, and at the same time took out a two-finger-wide, palm-sized green gummy from his pocket and threw it to Syllan:
"I still have it here, you can use it first."
Xi Lan took the "special medicine", looked at it, and didn't eat it, just casually stuffed it into the butt pocket of the short skirt.
"Minor injury...... No, you don't. ”
"Whatever you want."
Christopher shrugged.
Soon, the two walked into the gymnasium and came to an open field like a racing track.
"This is it," Christopher closed his eyes, confirmed the energy around him with his ability perception, and pointed to the center of the field, "Wait." ”
After saying that, he took out another locator that seemed to belong to the same series of products as the special communicator, and placed it in the corner of the venue to activate.
Ten minutes later, a spaceship that looked like a fighter plane pierced through the skylight of the stadium and landed steadily above the locator.
During this period, Xi Lan sat in the audience all the time, watching silently and speechlessly, as if he was reluctant to speak because of the injury in his throat.
Two and a half hours later, a nameless wave appeared out of thin air from the center of the field, sweeping around like a heat wave.
Christopher's eyes froze, and he immediately got up and patted Xilan on the shoulder:
"It's coming, let's go!"
After speaking, the two jumped down from the audience, rushed to the center of the venue, knelt down on one knee on the left and right, lowered their heads and waited nervously.
A few minutes later, in the middle of the field, the air began to shake like a wind-blown lake, and then the shaking air suddenly stopped, and then the two people on the ground who were half-kneeling suddenly had a feeling that the mid-air above their heads was now slowly cracking a circular hole.
Obviously, you can't see it with the naked eye, but you can feel the existence of holes, which is very peculiar!
After the hole appeared, Xi Lan quietly touched the position of his waist, and his eyes flashed with hesitation.
However, before she could make up her mind, a bright red giant hand suddenly stretched out from the invisible void!
The giant hand is more than three meters long, and as soon as it appears, it immediately grabs the air, as if grasping an invisible rope, and then pulls it hard, pulling the body behind the root of the arm out of the hole!
It was a ten-meter-long red cylinder, the diameter of which matched the size of the hole.
