Black Chapter (14) Worship
"That guy Sajinkai, it seems that you have ulterior motives for transferring you to the south!" "Pumpkin Jack" is lying on a comfy couch with an American comic book in his hand.
"This fool can see it! Do you still need to talk too much? The "White Lady" sat at the table next to the sofa, elegantly sipping a glass of red wine in her hand, while "Francon" hunched over and stood quietly behind the "White Lady".
"Southside." On the other side, Sima Luming sat on a chair, his eyes looking to the left, there was a porthole, and outside the window was the dark night sky and rolling clouds, "What are you going to do with Sajinkai, I know very well, let me manage the south side...... That's a good thing to say! ”
"Hey, hey, hey...... That is, the industry of the 'empire' in this country is basically in the north, and there are not many valuable things in the south, you are a human being, not a dragon, plus the matter of the 'blood wolf', it is me, and I will not give you a good errand! "Pumpkin Jack" was lying on the sofa, laughing and dancing, I don't know whether to laugh at Sima Luming or the cartoon in his hand.
"I'm not surprised that 'Blood Wolf' and 'Phantom Fox' are alive, especially 'Blood Wolf', Black Rose and Blood Rose, will not let her die easily." Sima Luming closed the notebook on his lap, walked to the side of "Madame Bai", and poured himself a glass of red wine, "How long will we have to fly?" ”
"Madame White" looked at her watch, "There are about two hours left, are you ready?" ”
"It's set!" Sima Luming walked to another small round table, stretched out his hand and pressed the button on the back of the table, and a holographic map immediately appeared on the table.
Sima Luming pointed to the map with his hand, "It's here!" Isn't this what Sa Jinkai wants? Then I'll satisfy him! ”
"Bang!" The sound of broken glass echoed in the empty streets, shattering the silence of the city before dawn, a large amount of broken glass, falling from a tall building to the center of the intersection below, and falling with the broken glass, there was a huge black shadow, the black shadow fell to the ground, a pool of fluorescent green liquid, spread under it, and on the body of the black shadow, covered with wounds that also emitted green fluorescence.
"If you want to live, stay here! Don't run around! Zero stood beside the shattered floor-to-ceiling window, grasping the window bracket in one hand, leaning over to look at the dark shadow at the intersection below, beside him, a crowd of ragged men surrounded him, and there was still a trace of fear in everyone's eyes, but more of a blessing for the rest of their lives.
"Big brother, be careful! The Patronus must be here soon! A six- or seven-year-old boy said sincerely.
Zero smiled lightly, looked at the flames lit up on the roof in the distance, and said, "I think he still has a lot to do, I can do it here!" Be careful, maybe that guy has a companion and shouts for help when he encounters a situation. After explaining, Zero stepped on the edge of the window, kicked hard, and jumped down.
"I'll go! It's the fourth floor! He just jumped off like that? A man in the crowd exclaimed.
"Perhaps, he is also the so-called 'sober one'! This kind of height is nothing to them, it's just that these days, there are not many 'sober people' like him. An old man sighed.
"Yes! If I hadn't met him, I would have thought that those 'sober people' would either be the doglegs of the 'empire', or they would have gone into hiding and living their own good lives! The man said with a look of disdain, and his words drew the approval of most of the people, but they did not notice that there were two or three people in the crowd, and when they heard this, they all bowed their heads and silently retreated to the back of the crowd.
The wind was howling in his ears, the ground was rapidly enlarging, and even though he was jumping from the fourth floor, Zero didn't think about betting on whether he would fall into a puddle of meat sauce. Falling to the position of the second floor, Zelo's waist twisted hard, and his body, which was in the shape of a "big", stood upright, holding the right hand of the strange single-edged sword, and thrust it hard, inserting the blade deep into the outer wall of the building.
With a shrunk of his arm, he pulled Zero against the wall. Calculating the distance, Zelo bent his legs, stepped on the wall first, kicked hard, the red light flashed in his hand, and the sword inserted into the wall disappeared at the same time as Zelo kicked out, with the help of the wall, Zelo unloaded the gravity of the fall, and jumped down to the road surface below at a relatively safe height.
Half-crouched on his feet, he landed safely to the ground, and Zero immediately summoned his sword again, and walked quickly towards the dark shadow that had fallen into the street earlier.
The black shadow curled up in a ball, its body undulated, and exhaled a heavy white breath between its snorts, sensing that someone was approaching, it was still the same breath as hurting himself upstairs, and the curled black shadow jumped up at once, with a diamond-shaped head full of spikes, staring at dark green eyes, dragging a thick, long body, opening a terrifying mouth that was half a meter high and with interlaced canine teeth inside, and pounced on Zero.
Spitting poisonous gas with a strong stench, a big black hole pounced, Zero grabbed the corner of the trench coat, separated the poison gas with a wide trench coat, turned around, like a matador, deftly dodged the attack, and kicked the black shadow several meters away, landing in a flower bed overgrown with half-human tall weeds that had expanded to the road.
The dark shadow that fell into the flowerbed, whining in pain, shrunk into a ball again, and Zero strode over with his sword in hand.
This time, the shadow didn't fight back, but turned around, twisted its huge body, and swam quickly in the opposite direction of Zero.
"Want to go?" Seeing that the black shadow was about to escape, Zero jumped up vigorously, and in mid-air, threw the sword in his hand, and the sword spun in the air like a red frisbee, hitting the black shadow precisely at the back of the head, cutting it in two.
The head and body separated, the black shadow's body struggled a few times, and a cloud of red and green intersecting gas spit out from his mouth, and then it stopped moving, and at the fracture, a large amount of fluorescent green blood flowed out, and Zero's sword stood diagonally in this pool of fishy liquid.
In the distant sky, the glimmer of the morning light shone and fell to the ground, and the black and green blood quickly evaporated and disappeared into the air as soon as it touched the sunlight.
Zero drew the sword that was plunged into the ground, the blood-red blade glistening in the morning light, not a drop of impurity, as if the sword had never been unsheathed.
As the night receded, the crowd ran out of the hiding building and gathered around Zero, who just wanted to leave quickly, he had saved the group, and by human nature, he would have found a way to thank himself, but he really didn't want to take anything from these people who were already almost nothing.
However, there were also about twenty people around, blocking all the directions that Zero could escape, and in the depression of not being able to fly, Zero had to obediently accept people's gratitude.
"Big brother, you're so strong! You must be a 'sober person' too, right? The little boy asked, his eyes wide.
Without waiting for Zero to speak, another little boy rushed to say: "I heard that the 'sober one' is also graded, big brother, you must be the strongest level, right?" ”
"It's hard to say whether it's the strongest or not, at least self-preservation is no problem." Zero touched the heads of the two little boys and said ambiguously.
"I don't understand who is better than the big brother or the patronus?" The little boy asked a question that made Zero's head start.
"That's right! Big brother, our patron saint here is also very strong! How about you go and compare yourself with him? The other boy was pushing Zero.
"This ...... I'll talk about it later. I have other things, please let me go. "Children are easy to deal with, but adults are not easy to fool, and Zero wants to run away before people can speak.
But how can people be so laissez-faire with their saviors leaving? Zero yelled a few times, but the crowd still held him firmly in the middle.
"What can be important these days? Looking at the benefactor's outfit, so neat, I think the benefactor is also a person with a lot of background, don't you dislike us as a group of refugees who are struggling to survive? In the crowd, the old man said sadly.
Zero was embarrassed and embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Huh? No, no, I do have something important to do, save you, but it's just a matter of convenience! It's a trivial matter, you don't have to take it to heart! ”
"That's not going to work!" A middle-aged woman in the crowd took the lead in protesting, "You have saved so many of us, we have to thank you well, although our life is terrible now, but as long as the benefactor does not dislike it, we still have something to take, such as food and the like!" ”
"That's it! Okay, you can just give me some dry food! However, don't take it too much, I'm traveling alone, and I bring too much, but it becomes a burden. Knowing that he couldn't get rid of it, Zelo was not polite, and asked people for some dry food as a thank you, but there were a few unexpectedly enthusiastic guys in the crowd.
"Just a little bit of food doesn't seem to be enough!" A young man shouted, "Why don't you let your benefactor go with us on the day of the pilgrimage?" ”
"That's a good idea! We are ordinary people, and our abilities are limited, and maybe our benefactors can get real help there. The old man immediately agreed.
"Worship? What to worship? Zeroo was confused.
"God, the patron saint of our sect." At the mention of the Patron Deity, the young man's expression immediately became solemn, "The God of Crows, thanks to him, we can live peacefully in this city." ”
"Oh? God? Zero became interested, "Let me ask more, does your sect have a name?" ”
"Yes! Holy Raven Cult! The young man proudly straightened his chest, and Zero noticed that on each of their chests was a rather delicate badge carved from discarded metal blocks, and on the badge was a crow with a lizard's tail and outstretched wings, and beneath the crow was a round of sun.
The early morning sun washed away the filth in the air, and Li Fei, wearing a crow's head mask, landed on an uninhabited crossroads, and as soon as he landed, he ran to the corpse next to the flower garden. It was a giant snake two meters wide and more than ten meters long, with its tail split into three scimitars, and on both sides of its dark body, there was a dark green vein, which looked terrifying, but such a giant beast was now separated from its head and was not breathing.
Li Fei squatted at the disconnected position of the snake's head, touched the broken wound with his hand covered with black scales, spread his wings, and flew into the sky.
In the air, Li Fei clearly saw that people could be seen in the city, on the streets and alleys, and the whole city seemed to be ushering in a grand festival, men, women, and children, all of whom walked out and gathered in the same direction.
Li Fei sighed lightly, he knew the reason why the people in the city gathered, he didn't like people to do this, but he still didn't stop these people after all.
When he arrived at the building where he was based, the square in front of the building was crowded with people, and he didn't want people to see it, so Li Fei deliberately made a circle and entered the building through the shadow behind the building.
Placing the mask on the shabby wooden table, Li Fei sat down at the table and enjoyed his breakfast, a bowl of slightly cloudy white rice porridge and a small plate of greens that had only been simply blanched. After eating two bites, Li Fei stood up, walked to the window, looked downstairs, frowned and closed the window hard.
"Yo! Our Lord Wayne is back! How? Is it fun to play as Batman? Luo Yu sat down opposite Li Fei with a smile and unceremoniously ate a bite of the already small green vegetables.
"Look at you sullen, what's wrong?" Seeing that Li Fei was more gloomy than usual, Luo Yu put away his smile.
Li Fei picked up the bowl, drank most of the white porridge in one gulp, and asked, "Is there enough food in the city?" ”
Luo Yu said: "According to the reports of several master of ceremonies, it is enough to support a month or two, but don't worry, in another month and a half, the new grain will be harvested." "To survive, food is indispensable, using Li Fei's appeal in the city, they have carved out a large area of farmland in the south of the city, basically solving the problem of food in the city.
"There's a new problem, though." Luo Yu continued, after the good news, followed by the bad news, they have become accustomed to this, fortunately, the bad news this time is not too bad, "In the past few months, there have been a lot more new people in this city, and we may have to consider expanding the farming area." ”
"I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, we'll divide it from the beginning, I'll be in charge of Wu, and you'll be in charge of Wen." The matter was handed over to Luo Yu, Li Fei was very relieved, this guy, two years before the invasion of the "Empire", finally opened his mind, inherited the family business, and managed a large group, with this experience, Luo Yu has no problem managing such a remnant city.
"It's no problem to hand it over to me, but, Li Fei, the interest of the people below is so high, won't you show up?" Luo Yu walked to the window closed by Li Fei, poked his head out directly, and looked at the more and more people gathered in front of the building below, "The windows are all broken, and the closure is also white, why don't I go find an iron plate for you to seal?" However, if the people below know that you have this attitude, they will probably be very disappointed! ”
