Chapter 24: Cold Bamboo
The house rented by Bamboo is a long way from the city, and the residential area is so crowded that you can only pass through the alleys next to the house.
As soon as you enter the alley, the field of vision becomes very narrow, the surroundings are very quiet, and most of the people who live here either go out to work or go to other places to enjoy, and no one stays in this alley during the day.
"Sir, isn't it too quiet around?"
Bamboo pulled the hat that covered his face even lower and asked in a low voice. Experience these days has taught her that this situation is almost dangerous.
"Well, there were about seven of them. ”
Xi Haichuan nodded indifferently, the expression on his face was still slightly depressed, like an aimless and confused young man.
Bamboo kept her head down as much as possible, her eyes didn't look around, she pretended to be normal and followed Xi Haichuan to move forward, her face couldn't see the panic when she encountered danger in the past, only the distressing lowness, a pair of beautiful eyes were a little less agile than before, a little more profound.
"Can I try to kill the enemy?" asked Takeko.
"Absolutely. Yukai River Road.
As the two of them continued to walk for more than ten steps, four black shadows suddenly fell in front of them from the walls on both sides, there were indeed seven of them, and the other three were blocking at the back of the alley.
These people were not dressed like the enemies they had encountered in the past, they were dressed like some endurance clothes, and the layers of black cloth wrapped most of their faces inside, revealing only two eyes.
There was a round badge on their chests, and on top of the badge were inlaid with seven stars, Xi Haichuan recalled all the enemies he had encountered before, and it seemed that it should be the seven-star organization of the Blade Noise Empire.
"Are you still having fun with our stuff?"
The man at the head stood straight in the alley with his hands on his chest, his eyes looking at Yumikawa like a sharp blade.
Xi Haichuan looked at the box in Zhuzi's arms disappretently, and said indifferently: "It's good, I don't plan to return it for the time being." ”
"Yes, it's a pity that I wanted to give you a more comfortable way to die, and now it seems that you don't need it. ”
With that, the seven black-clothed men on both sides of the front and back instantly made a move, and huge flame barriers rose from the ground, blocking both sides of the small alley, and Yuhaichuan and Bamboo were also surrounded by flame barriers in the center.
Bamboo's back was against Yumikawa, and her depressed expression began to become extremely serious.
"Do you really want to fight them?" said Yu Haichuan to her, and asked.
"Revenge is my business, not my husband's business, and I can't hide behind my husband's back all the time. Bamboo said earnestly.
Xi Haichuan looked at her and didn't speak, and casually condensed a huge icicle and threw it towards the end of the alley, the size of this icicle can be the size of most of the space in the alley, as soon as the icicle is thrown out, it hits the flame barrier and begins to melt continuously.
The four men in black jumped onto the wall, and the flame chains extended from their hands to connect to the barrier, and then the four of them dragged the layers of flame barriers in the alley and kept hitting the huge icicles.
The temperature of this flame barrier is not known how high, the icicle front break began to turn into water vapor the moment it touched it, and as the icicle continued to melt, the flame barrier in front of Yumikawa continued to approach him rapidly.
Xi Haichuan was not in a hurry, and there was no change in his slightly depressed face, but instead turned his gaze to the bamboo behind him.
Because there are no icicles behind to block the flame barrier that rushes at you, the bamboo side is closer to the flames behind you.
Xi Haichuan looked at her seriously, so he didn't help her.
These abilities are not much stronger than the ruffians he encountered today, Bamboo is still only a novice whose abilities have just awakened, and the two abilities that have awakened are not strong in the early stage, and she has only used the storage space once today.
In the face of this rushing flame barrier, she did not show the slightest panic, and Xi Haichuan was very surprised by her change.
The collapse of that night brought her a lot of spiritual devastation.
"Keep the flames under control, don't burn anything!" shouted a man in black.
Seeing that the flame barrier was about to engulf the bamboo, Xi Haichuan was also preparing to make a move at this moment, he could understand that the bamboo who had no combat experience was stunned in the face of this threat of death, after all, she was still very weak.
Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly noticed that a circle of black vortices suddenly appeared on the flame barrier that rushed from both sides of the alley.
In an instant, the flame barrier that rushed from both sides suddenly spun up, and the flames began to be swept into it by the vortex, and just when the flame barrier was about to burn to the bamboo, the flame volume that originally covered the entire alley mouth was directly absorbed by the black vortex and was only the size of a flame.
Eventually, the only small flame left was drowned in the whirlpool.
"What kind of ability is this!"
A group of men in black were shocked.
"Melee, don't give them a chance!" one of the men in black shouted.
Then, the seven men in black were about to rush over with a ball of flame with their bare hands.
Xi Haichuan didn't stop anymore, and with a flash of his body, he kicked out the four black-clothed people in front of him, and with the four black-clothed men, the sound of bones exploding and screams began to be heard in the air.
Behind them, the remaining three black-clothed people were also frightened when they saw this scene, but their mental qualities did not make them stop, but continued to rush towards the bamboo.
The bamboo began to retreat, and a vortex began to emerge around her body again, and as the three black-clad men approached, a flame barrier suddenly erupted from the vortex.
"Look for death!"
A black-clothed man shattered the flame barrier with a direct punch and continued to rush towards the bamboo.
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as the black-clothed man's words fell, Yumikawa had already flashed in front of the bamboo and kicked it all out with three kicks.
"Giggle......
The sound of broken bones continued to sound, and most of the enemies fell to the ground with their eyes glaring in pain and their mouths wide open, but the pain in their bodies prevented them from making any sound.
"Impossible...... No way!"
The black cloth who took the lead kept roaring on the ground, and his eyes were bloodshot and glared at Xi Haichuan: "Who the hell are you? How can you do this with your body alone!......"
"Buzz!"
Just after he roared, a black vortex suddenly appeared on his chest, and he was stunned for a moment, and then after more than ten seconds, his whole person was swept into the black vortex and disappeared without a trace.
Yumikawa glanced at the bamboo and found that there was no fear or excitement on her face, she only looked at her hands with a serious expression, as if she was surprised that her ability could do this.
"It's not as simple as storage. Yumikawa said.
Bamboo nodded slightly, her eyes still looking at her hands, but the serious expression on her face had changed back to a low appearance, as if in her eyes, there was nothing to be happy about in this kind of thing.
"If I'm physically strong, combine that with this ability...... So if other people with abilities want to kill me, do they have to be close to me?" Takeko thought for a moment before speaking.
"Not necessarily, no one is invincible. Yumikawa said.
Bamboo turned her head and looked directly into Yumikawa's gray eyes, and her beautiful eyes began to become deeper and deeper, as if they could sink people's souls.
"But in my eyes, Sir is absolutely invincible. ”
With that, Bamboo looked away and unleashed his ability to send a group of wailing enemies on the ground into the whirlpool.
Xi Haichuan listened to her words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but appear a slight smile, it was the first time he heard others say this about him, in his past memories, he had always been a waste, and he couldn't match anything like invincible.
Yumikawa asked, "Are they dead?"
"No, just put them in another dimension. Bamboo said.
"What are you going to do?"
"Take it to a hidden place and kill it. ”
"Hmm. ”
Although it was difficult for Xi Haichuan to accept this bamboo who could keep his expression unchanged and speak coldly in the face of murder for a while, it was undeniable that Bamboo did the right thing, the enemy should be killed, it was these people who came to kill them, not that they killed for no reason.
Isn't it cruelty to oneself if one is soft on one's enemies? Can it still be a favor to oneself?
......
In a wilderness, bamboo killed people again.
Because she didn't have a weapon, she didn't want to use Yumikawa's ice thorns to directly use her physical enhancement ability to end the lives of these people with her small jade fists.
Her hands were covered with blood, her low expression did not change, and her beautiful and deep eyes were filled with a chilling aura of death.
Yumikawa witnessed the whole process and discovered this bamboo...... She has completely changed.
Just like the night she collapsed, she knelt on the ground, looked up at the moonlight, and said to him: Sir, I am no longer a man......
At that time, Yuhaichuan also asked why, and she said that because the enemy is inhumane.
Leaving the wilderness and entering the city, Xi Haichuan and her began to buy some daily necessities, and with the absence of enemies, Xi Haichuan saw that the cold aura in the depths of her eyes gradually dissipated.
He suddenly noticed that she was more and more like himself, his slightly depressed face, her unchanged and low expression, his dead and godless pupils, her beautiful and unadulterated eyes......
Suddenly, Xi Haichuan couldn't help but think of himself, and he wondered if he had had a similar experience with bamboo before.
As soon as he tried to recall his memory, his brain hurt, and Yumikawa frowned, and finally had to sigh and give up.
