Helpless and broken
"Don't ...... Don't kill me...... I'll get out, get out of the way, and I won't get in the way......"
The narrow and long alley was filled with dampness in the rain, the corners of the walls on both sides were covered with moss, and the dirty stagnant water reflected the dark sky, he held a broken wooden plank on his head with both hands, and curled up in the corner of the alley as much as possible, not letting himself be in front of Zero, next to him was a wild dog that had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and several rats were gnawing on the corpse unscrupulously.
Zero stood in front of him without saying a word, and only after a long time did he ask, "What's your name?"
"Words...... Yan Xiaohua ......"
Yan Xiaohua secretly looked at Zero through the gap in the wooden board, this person is very tall, very thin, brown hair hangs down his shoulders, even if he is wet by the rain, but it is still difficult to hide his temperament, this kind of person is generally a powerful and wealthy businessman in Yan Xiaohua's impression, those people always have a bad temper, as if they don't like anyone, he has been almost killed several times for various reasons, seeing this kind of person, Yan Xiaohua can always hide as much as possible.
But today he really has no strength, this rain has been falling for too long, he barely dragged his body to this town, he thought that there would be a kind person to give a little food, but who knew that there were not even many living people in this town, he went to some shops that were still open to beg, but he was beaten several times, and under the dirty and tattered clothes were wounds that had not yet healed.
"Go get him something to eat. Zero looked back and instructed.
"Give me five minutes. ”
Sora nodded, he didn't have any prejudice against beggars, besides, it's a miracle that this kid didn't get gray spot disease in this kind of place, maybe Zero is also curious about this, but it's not easy to get something to eat in this place now, after all, money has no meaning.
"Will you come with me? I can't guarantee anything else, but at least you won't die now, and of course, you can refuse. Zero glanced at the dog beside Yan Xiaohua, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"Huh?" Yan Xiaohua snorted, he didn't understand what Zero was talking about, or he suspected that he had misheard.
"You heard me right, but I must also remind you that if you decide to follow me, then your life is mine from now on, and accordingly, I will teach you how to live in this world. Zero crouched down, keeping as eye level as possible with the child.
Is that a price?
If the person in front of me doesn't show up today, it's unknown whether he will be able to survive until tomorrow, maybe the gods heard their prayers.
"......Really? I do! I do! I do!" Yan Xiaohua hurriedly put down the broken wooden plank above his head, he staggered to Zero, and was about to kneel, but Zero grabbed his arm.
"Don't kneel, from today on, you don't kneel, this is the first rule I taught you, and your code name will be called ...... Ghost. ”
......
"Ah Xiu, hatred is a feeling stronger than other feelings, your sword is far sharper than when I first saw you, but if you want to kill me, it's not enough, it's far from enough, you have self-knowledge, so I let you go today, but next time, I may not have such good patience. ”
"Ah Xiu, stop!"
The intervention of Nia and Zero ended the battle, and Prischer knew very well that even if he continued to fight, he would not be able to help Xiao Shu, let alone suppress the four Zero with his own strength, and now he had to sneer and retreat, the red blood fell down his sleeve drop by drop, and the blade was embedded in his palm inch by inch, but he didn't feel the pain at all, only unwillingly...... Only anger......
"Zero, I can let you go today, after all, I don't like to deceive people as much as you, but I have to remind you, after tonight, you will definitely become the public enemy of all races, no matter where you hide, it's useless, the mess left behind, someone must stand up and clean up, the void demons are dangerous, but no matter how dangerous they are, they are not as dangerous as you are a madman, you can't escape, and the ghost organization under your command can't escape. ”
Nia Chao took a step forward, just in front of Pulixiu, Zero's strength was far beyond his imagination, only the five of them wanted to deal with Zero and this unfathomable outer demon, he was really not sure, but if he used the Boundary Breaking Warp Realm to ask for help, it would inevitably lead to a large number of deaths and injuries to Lingwan and even the innocents of North Wind City, and if he was not careful, he might even shake the entire ice field, causing irreparable disasters.
"Delayed some time, Mr. Xiao, if you think about it, please give me a clear answer. ”
Zero ignored Niya's threat, over the years, the ghost has offended an unknown number of organizations and forces, threatening to retaliate countless times, and his life was even more rewarded, but so what, he is still standing here, this kind of familiar threat has long been tired of hearing.
"It doesn't look like I have a better choice. Xiao Shu raised the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
"Thanks, let's go. ”
The thin arm gently swiped across the void, and the space in front of him was like a torn fabric, and a huge black crack ran across the front of everyone, and the extremely strong sense of abruptness made everything around him seem as unreal as an oil painting.
"It's ...... Is it broken?"
Nia was completely stunned this time, if he said that the space spell that Zero had kept for ten minutes was unscathed, he could still understand that Zero's mastery of space spells was too proficient, but the scene in front of him completely refreshed his perception of Zero.
The Boundary Breaking Realm is a way to break the boundary, in essence, it is through the use of space spells, to complete the means of reaching from one place to another, but this is by no means something that can be done out of thin air, spatial positioning, the way to maintain the stability of the broken realm, and the spiritual power layer to protect themselves, all kinds of preparatory work add up, it took him and the chief a full three months to really perfect the spell.
"Why did you kill her?"
Zero glanced back at Ah Xiu, and smiled a little helplessly, "Ah Xiu, what's the difference between sweeping away one grain or two grains of floating dust, don't pay too much attention to the things that have been lost, they will only stop you." ”
"She trusts you so much......"
Zero ignored Ah Xiu, waved his right hand, and took the lead in sending the void demons and ghosts on the side into the broken boundary, and the empty staggered not far away to Zero, whispered something in his ear, and glanced back at Nia and the others, and then stepped into the broken boundary.
"Teacher Xiao, let's go. ”
Xiao Shu sighed secretly, put down Mo Qiunian on his back, and gently wiped away the remaining stains on his face, he could fully imagine what kind of mood Qiunian would be like after waking up, obviously he was just starting to get better, and in a blink of an eye, he was shrouded in deeper despair, the so-called impermanence of the world is nothing more than that, I hope Rose can enlighten him well.
"Zero!"
The anger overwhelmed everything, and the blade of the sword slashed out in an instant!
Bite!
The blade of the sword slashed on Zero's index finger and made a crisp sound of gold and iron intersecting, and the spiritual power layer as thin as a cicada's wings was like a barrier that could not be torn apart no matter what, Zero slowly bent his index finger and clamped the blade, and he said coldly, "Ah Xiu, when did you have the illusion that we have a good relationship? Is it because I said the word friend? I'm sorry, the so-called friend has no meaning to me, there are only two kinds of people in this world, valuable or worthless." ”
"Hahaha...... So I'm still of use to you!?That's why you'll let me go that night!?" Priexiu laughed angrily.
"It seems that you have a misunderstanding, I just don't want to fall out with Yu completely, he won't care if he kills a few high-level people, but if I attack Shixi, he won't agree, just an eighth-order spell, even if you are defenseless, you can't kill you, at most you lose your ability to act, but it's a pity that you react too quickly and are too confident, so Misha will die, do you want me to remind you that night, Misha died at your hands, and I never killed her. ”
As soon as these words came out, Nia, Gerald and others looked sideways at Prisius, what happened that night they basically learned from Amos's mouth, as for the cause of Misha's death, Amos was sure that Zero killed her, and since then Ah Xiu has rarely spoken, as if he has returned to the state when he first joined the Council of the Star and Moon, extremely withdrawn, he doesn't care about anything, and he is either locked in his room or sitting in the cloud cliff all day.
"Ah Xiu, I don't want to be distracted by such a trivial matter, and if there is a next time, you know the result. ”
With a slight fold of his index finger, the tip of the sword shattered, and the fragment slashed across Prisius's cheek, leaving a deep mark of blood, and as Zero and Xiao Shu stepped in, the fracture crack slowly closed, and Plixiu stared at the broken blade in his hand blankly, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Fear, no matter how reluctant he is to admit it, but this emotion lingers like a nightmare, anger, hatred can't hide the fear he suppressed in his heart, once again watching Zero leave in front of him, once again powerless, but somehow, there is some inexplicable joy in his heart......
"It's over...... It's over...... I can't kill him, and I can't kill him in this life. Prischer muttered to himself.
"Ah Xiu, this is not like what you would say, zero sins, even if he dies a hundred times, a thousand times it will be difficult to repay, do you plan to just give up? Yes, this time we lost, but next time he will have such good luck?"
Gerald saw that Ah Xiu's mood was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't help but step forward and pat the old fellow on the shoulder, trying to comfort him, but as soon as he put his hand on his shoulder, he realized that Ah Xiu was actually trembling.
"Maybe we won't have that good luck next time. Celia said suddenly.
"What do you mean by that!?" Nia, glaring back at her.
"Don't you see that? He doesn't take us seriously, go back and let the Chief decide. Vivien shook her head, her face full of self-deprecation.
