Black Chapter (One Hundred and Fifty-Seven) Starlight
"I thought I accidentally played you to death, but fortunately you didn't disappoint me. But how much useful data can you give me? Ina smiled wickedly, the space behind her quickly distorted, and several huge black holes appeared behind her, Ina flapped her wings and flew upside down into one of them......
The whispering cold wind blew through every corner of the city, blowing away the smoke and dust, and also blowing away the lives of the "Imperial" soldiers on the ground, and the whole city fell into a kind of post-carnival silence, in the scarred city, only the greenery on the streets swayed gently in the cold wind. Suddenly, a lonely figure appeared out of nowhere, strolling through the city, through the streets.
It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, in the bitterly cold Arctic Circle, but Lucifer only wore a thin white shirt, a pair of black suit pants and a pair of black leather shoes, and the sleeves of the shirt were rolled up to the position of his arm, as if the cold wind mixed with the smell of death in this city was nothing at all. And neither the flames that were still struggling in the cold wind, nor the corpses of the "Imperial" soldiers lying in the streets, could not make him stop, not even slow down, until another figure ran out of the corner of the street in embarrassment.
Lucifer, who was strolling, suddenly ran up, rushed to the figure that appeared, and before the opponent was about to fall to the ground, he held the opponent's body and half-hugged the opponent into his arms.
Forcefully took away what looked like a USB flash drive from the other party's hand, Lucifer gently stroked the slender hands full of scars, and touched the long black and warm hair that day, and said softly: "Okay, girl, give me the things, you go back!" Mistress Alice's boat is waiting for you at the docks. ”
"Yes...... It's you! The USB flash drive was taken away by Lucifer, Lu Yuyao's painful expression was immediately soothed, her emotions immediately collapsed, tears erupted, and she cried and said, "You're finally here!" Please! Please, get that idiot out there! ”
"Does he mean that much to you?" Lucifer asked.
Lu Yuyao stared at Lucifer with tears in his eyes and nodded vigorously.
"But, I think you seem to have fallen out, huh?" Lucifer asked with a wicked smile.
Lu Yuyao shook his head frantically and argued, "No! No! We just ......"
Lucifer stretched out his left index finger and gently placed it on Lu Yuyao's lips, interrupting her words, and a black magic power came out of Lucifer's finger, covering Lu Yuyao's whole body. The magic quickly dissipated, Lu Yuyao's spirit looked much better, and Lucifer pouted dissatisfied: "Can it only be done to this extent?" It's not what I'm good at, after all! Girl, go to the docks! I've already confirmed that there are no enemies, and as for the rest of the matter, I'll take care of it. ”
After a slight hesitation, Lu Yuyao let go of the hand that was gripping Lucifer's sleeve, bit his lip, left Lucifer's arm, opened his legs, and ran with all his strength in the direction of the dock.
Seeing Lu Yuyao disappear at the end of the street, Lucifer looked up, and the fortress-like building of the "Empire" in the distance was like a black blade, stuck in the city, and also in Lucifer's heart. He stretched, quickened his pace, and sped through the street to the front of the building, where the door that had been opened by Li Fei with brute force was still standing tenaciously, sticking to his duty, trying to prevent Lucifer from entering the building.
Lucifer walked to the gate, made a few gestures on the big hole, then looked inside the big hole, then took a few steps back, and then walked to the gate again, and so on several times, Lucifer finally stopped less than half a meter from the gate, he tilted his head, stretched out his right hand, and touched the tip of his index finger on the gate.
"Boom!" With a violent explosion, the powerful "dark" attribute magic rushed from Lucifer's fingertips to the gate, blasting the gate into countless pieces in an instant, allowing this dedicated "member of the Empire" to retire completely.
The door was blown open, but it did not cause any commotion in the building, and the hall on the first floor was as empty and quiet as when Li Fei came, as if Langut had really arranged for only Ina to guard the building. However, Lucifer didn't bother to care so much, and no matter how much Ina or thousands of troops could stop him from moving forward.
With his right hand back in his trouser pocket, Lucifer walked to the elevator with a leisurely pace, pressed the button on the elevator control panel, but the elevator did not respond, Lucifer looked up at the ceiling, pouted, and said to himself dissatisfiedly: "The top floor!" What a bully for the elderly! ”
Still taking a leisurely step, Lucifer walked up the stairs, however, every time he took a step, his body instantly moved upwards by dozens of meters, or even nearly a hundred meters, without any fluctuations in magic power, as if Lucifer's feet were not walking on the ground, but directly through the space, but although Lucifer's way of walking was so terrifying, the edifice of this "empire" was too high, and it took Lucifer nearly ten minutes to reach the top floor.
The door at the top staircase was closed, and Lucifer pushed it casually, and the door was locked as a matter of course, and the stairs that had been climbed for so long were turned away. Lucifer was visibly dissatisfied, and he stretched out his right hand again and flicked it on the door, and this time, instead of exploding, the gate flew out entirely, through the hall, shattering the floor-to-ceiling glass at the other end, and then, making a perfect free fall.
Lost the door of the block, the hall on the top floor of the building was naked in front of Lucifer, in the empty hall, there was no figure, only the "empire" used to store the fortress data of the large computer in the "sizzle" sound, electronic sound constantly issued "system error", "data loss" and other warnings, a "snake of Eden" logo displayed in the center of the computer screen, a line of incomprehensible garbled characters on the screen from time to time.
Lucifer looked at the computer screen with interest for a while, the dissatisfaction caused by climbing the stairs disappeared in his eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The little girl did a good job, then, the promised reward will be given to her." ”
"Da!" Lucifer snapped his fingers crisply, and time seemed to "buzz" for a moment, and then exploded like explosives, and the space of the entire hall began to distort and deform......
In Ina's domain, Li Fei was embedded in a meteorite, almost no piece of his body was complete, the dragon scales in many places were peeled off in large pieces, the right eye was swollen and only a thin slit remained, although the left eye could still be opened, but the blood had filled his eye socket, he could only see through a piece of blood red, vaguely saw Ina's outline, the twenty fingers of the hands and feet, either mutilated or broken. The powerful self-healing ability inherited from the dragon clan and the three-legged golden crow has also lost its effect, and there is not a single wound on his body that shows even the slightest sign of healing, and the only part of Li Fei's body that is still intact and moving is only a pair of pitch-black crow wings behind his back.
"Do you cherish these wings?" Ina's dragon claws stroked over Li Fei's wings, and the sharp tips of the claws seemed to leave indelible marks on Li Fei's wings at any time.
"After all, it's a borrowed thing, and if it breaks, I can't afford to pay for it, and besides, take your claws away! If you 'accidentally' injure this wing, see how I clean you up! Li Fei, who was dying, said with a smile.
"I don't understand, why are you still laughing?" Ina, who has devoted all her time to alchemy, can be said to know nothing about "emotion", she can't understand why Li Fei cherishes these wings so much, and even values these wings more than his own life in battle, just because Lu Yuyao transplanted them to him? Ina couldn't figure it out.
"Why can't I laugh? Yu Haruka is safe, and the mission is complete! Why can't I laugh? Li Fei laughed wildly and said, "On the contrary, it was you, fighting with you, I sympathized with you, in order to study your so-called 'alchemy', you abandoned 'emotion', have you ever thought that something without 'emotion' is not a machine?" Hahaha...... You are really ruthless enough to turn yourself from a living life into a machine! ”
"I don't understand your words at all, and I don't want to waste time understanding, I live to study, to explore the roots and essence of this dome." Ina's mood didn't fluctuate at all, "For the sake of the precious data you have collected for me, I can promise you to keep your wings, but the rest of you will turn into dust in the dome!" ”
Ina raised her right claw, and the Philosopher's Stone emitted a brilliant light, piercing the blood red in Li Fei's eyes, revealing a beautiful rainbow in front of his eyes.
"That's a good situation for a dying man!" Li Fei opened his eyes to the maximum, "Even if you are a machine, I hope you can keep your promise!" ”
"Of course! I'll keep your wings and give them back to the one in the Black Rose family. Ina agreed.
Li Fei opened his eyes and watched the brilliant light approaching, he was ready to meet the arrival of death, but the light suddenly stopped, and then gradually dimmed and disappeared, and Li Fei also clearly saw that there was a look of surprise and a trace of fear on Ina's face.
"How so? How did he come? How could it be ......" Ina kept repeating the same words like a machine with a bug.
"Who? Who will come? What's going on? Li Fei had a faint premonition in his heart, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Meteorites and other celestial bodies flying in the dome suddenly froze, Ina's realm suddenly shattered like glass, and Li Fei, who was unrestrained, fell heavily to the ground from the ceiling of the hall, and before he fell unconscious, he saw a figure in his eyes dimly, "Heaven ...... Angel? Could it be that they are here to take me to heaven? ”
"Is that you? You...... Why are you here? Ina's voice trembled, and she looked at the figure in front of her and involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Why can't I come?" Lucifer smiled and asked, "Didn't Langut tell you about the Vatican?" ”
He said, but ......" Ina pretended to be calm, but there was still fear in her voice.
Lucifer said, "But, you think I can only operate in the 'Sanctuary', right? ”
Ina nodded, "According to ......"
"No need for it." Lucifer interrupted Ina again, "I wasn't the one who fouled first!" Besides, I kindly reminded you of that one! It was he who didn't listen and gave me a chance! ”
"That one?" Ina frowned, her eyes appeared as brilliant as a philosopher's stone, and she stared at Lucifer for a while, her brows slowly relaxed, and the fear in her eyes disappeared mostly, "I understand, in this way, including all the things in the past, it can make sense." ”
Lucifer shrugged, "So, what about your answer?" ”
"In that case, I can't even say yes." Ina smiled helplessly.
"You're not afraid I'll kill you?" Lucifer's eyes flashed fiercely, and the entire hall suddenly darkened a lot, and countless faint starlights twinkled in the hall.
"Afraid? I'm not afraid, it's just a pity that there are still so many mysteries and truths in the dome that I haven't explored yet, and if I die like this, I will definitely leave a lot of regrets, but looking back, isn't death a kind of truth? Having the opportunity to explore the nature of death can somewhat make up for some regrets. The Philosopher's Stone on Ina's body emitted the most dazzling light, but this light, which should have been more dazzling than the sun, was always overshadowed by the starlight that was only faintly flickering, "It's so powerful, just this level has such a powerful magic, it is worthy of you." ”
The faintly flickering starlight vanished, and the hall returned to its original light, except that the window shone in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Leave now, I don't want to touch you." Lucifer said flatly.
Ina hesitated for a few seconds, turned into a human form and turned to walk towards the door, but just as she was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly turned around, and all the philosopher's stones on her body suddenly lit up, and the powerful magic vibrated restlessly in the hall.
Lucifer sighed helplessly, waved his hand casually, and the light of the Philosopher's Stone on Ina's body suddenly all went out, and cracks broke out on the stone, "Don't be naughty anymore, let's go!" I believe that you will make the right choice one day, and as for those few stones, consider them as the price for today! ”
Ina removed the Philosopher's Stone on the back of her left hand, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, and said tremblingly, "Is this the gap?" Is this what I've been looking for? Lord Lucifer, thank you! Ina turned, bowed solemnly to Lucifer, and left the hall thoughtfully.
"What a troublesome girl!" Lucifer scratched his head, walked up to the unconscious Li Fei, and kicked Li Fei hard, "Little fool! Dead? If you don't die, squeak! ”
