November 9th, just after seven o'clock in the morning.
Huiheng walked out of the house. It only took half an hour for him to get to Group 7 from home. However, there was snow on the road and traffic was inconvenient, so he went out a little early today.
But there is still a ceremony before leaving.
He took out the nine strange-looking tree species from his pocket.
This tree is called the Xingxin Xinglian. When the seeds grow out, they are square and flat with a depression in the middle.
Folks believe that a hanging bell with a carved heart and a square heart means that a person is upright and measured.
In the extraordinary world, they are actually just ordinary trees. Huiheng chose this tree species as the path of divination simply because of the memories he had with his father.
I squatted in front of my house and threw nine tree seeds twice.
Two by two, three pairs in total, one is alone in the lower left corner, and the other two are alone in the opposite direction.
"A gentleman will be lost first and then win. If you lose your friends in the Northeast, you will be safe and honest."
"If you go first, you will get lost. Friends will be lost in the Northeast. An... Northeast... Liu Xiao!"
Hui Heng suddenly turned his head and looked to the northeast, which was the direction of Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts and the direction of Canyue Calligraphy and Painting.
He grabbed the tree seeds with both hands and stuffed them randomly into his two pockets, then ran to the roadside to stop the car.
The snow on the road melted and then froze, and it was still early, so we had to wait for a full twenty minutes for a taxi.
"West of Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts, Qingmei Street, hurry!"
"It can't go any faster, brother, the road is not going well."
The driver slowly pressed the meter, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car slowly forward on the ice.
Hui Heng wanted to urge him to hurry up, but what the driver said was right, and because of his shy personality, he opened and closed his mouth several times without saying anything.
After walking on the road for more than half an hour, it was already eight o'clock when the bus entered Qingmei Street and stopped at the gate of Canyue Calligraphy and Painting.
Huiheng paid and ran to the store door, only to find that the store door was locked and there was no one inside.
I knocked on the door, but no one answered, but I learned through the owner of the restaurant next door that he had eaten early and left.
I asked in detail about the direction of the tram station here. The boss didn't know, but there were guests at the hotel nearby, so he chimed in to let me know.
Go west to the intersection, and there are platforms on the left and right. To the right is the entrance of Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts, which is farther away, and closer to the left.
"How far away?"
"The closest one is only three to four hundred meters away. It will take a while to walk."
Huiheng thanked him and was about to leave when the guest said again: "There were a few noises over there just now. I don't know what happened."
The prophet's intuition made him feel that this matter was unusual, so he stopped and asked: "What is the noise?"
"I don't know, it was like an explosion, but not that loud. There were several blasts."
The uneasiness in my heart became even stronger, especially when I thought of the prophecy at my doorstep:
"Northeast Mourning Friends."
Liu Xiao, don’t let anything happen!
I quickened my pace and ran westward along the roadside. The more I ran, the more I felt something was wrong.
The pace gradually slowed down, and finally he stopped directly and looked back slightly suspiciously, but could not see anything unusual.
Count out four tree species from your pocket, pinch them a few times, spread your palms, and look down.
I quickly calculated in my mind, pinched it a few more times with my fingers, and spread it out.
The two are stacked together to form an arrow, pointing in the direction from which they came.
Turn back?
Why is there no divination? This result is wrong. Is it because there is danger ahead and we cannot go?
Slowly retreating in the direction of the arrow, he returned to the door of Waning Moon Calligraphy and Painting.
Stick it on the store door and look through the glass again.
The first floor is empty, completely different from the first time I visited in July.
During this period, we also had exchanges with Group 7. We learned that Liu Xiao had suffered heavy losses after the battle on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and had closed the shop. The subsidy he applied for from the temple was still handed over to Liu Xiao himself.
After looking around, there was nothing special. I only saw the key inserted on the inside of the door.
Hui Heng frowned, took out his key and put it in the keyhole.
Although it was not inserted in, once it was turned, the door lock also turned.
The door just opened.
Liu Xiao didn't know that the quality of the newly replaced door was not very good. As long as the key was inserted into it, it could be opened both inside and outside.
Lifting one foot and stepping into the store.
An invisible boundary appears, with the store door as the main body, dividing the inside and outside of the Cangyue calligraphy and painting.
As Huiheng puts another foot into the store, the boundaries disappear.
Huiheng was not aware of this process at all.
He circled around the first floor and then stepped directly onto the stairs to the second floor.
I saw a clean and tidy hall, a five-meter long red table, the glass surface was spotless, there were no toiletries in the bathroom, there was only one bed in the bedroom, and the wardrobe was empty.
It doesn't look like any trace of human life.
Upon noticing something unusual, Huiheng became alert and quickly left the second floor.
While still on the stairs, he saw that the first floor was full of shelves with all kinds of paints, brushes, and the Four Treasures of the Study.
Outside the door, the original brick and stone path and the asphalt road more than ten meters wide were gone, leaving only pure white.
When I walked out of the store, my eyes hurt from the sudden appearance of white thorns.
This is a white world, both heaven and earth, connected together in a vast expanse, with no boundaries visible.
Run a few steps and turn back.
This painting and calligraphy of the waning moon is like a toy in the white world, solitary, placed in the boundless desert by ignorant children.
It is not only the world that has changed, but also Huiheng.
Huiheng felt that his heart had never been smoother at this moment. His mind was like the world, expanding without boundaries.
Broad-minded and cheerful, worries begin to dissipate and divinity becomes active.
Although he didn't try it, he felt that his extraordinary abilities had been strengthened, and countless prophecies about the future flashed crazily in his mind.
Huiheng's eyes moved, and he was alert. He sensed the danger in the outside world, and immediately ran back to the store, locked the door, and pulled out the key.
Just as the key was pulled out, a luxurious figure appeared in the white world outside the store.
The figure was a man of insignificant age, standing in mid-air, wearing colorful fairy clothes, with silk and clothes floating in the air.
Huiheng gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a sound. His intuition told him that as long as he did not leave this door, he would be safe.
The man in colorful fairy clothes looked like a torch. He glanced around and his figure disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was far away.
Huiheng watched him looking around in this white world, knowing that he was looking for him, but he seemed to be unable to see the store, which made him feel at ease.
The next moment, the man in colorful fairy clothes suddenly appeared outside the store door, looking at Huiheng through a glass, and Huiheng could even see the eyelashes of his eyes.
This frightened Huiheng so much that he quickly retreated and fell to the ground, but he still gritted his teeth and did not make any sound.
Fortunately, the man's eyes did not converge, and he still skipped the store and looked into the distance.
It seems that this store is indeed hidden.
The man stretches out two fingers of his right hand and presses them together. The other three fingers are bent and placed in front of him, and his lips are slightly opened:
"Your Majesty, nothing was found. Yes!"
After saying that, it turned into fluorescence and dissipated.
…
Opposite the gate of Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts is a small old residential area.
The architecture in this residential area is somewhat different, with modern and ancient styles.
Near the intersection, there is a small antique building. The upper floor was originally a viewing platform for overlooking the scenery, but it is now abandoned.
This is an excellent sniper spot.
There is news that the target will appear in the north today, and there will be other people assisting him.
I have never taken on such a simple assassination mission.
However, this time the employer was obviously a little wary of the target, and actually got three special bullets.
This kind of bullet has only been heard in rumors. It is said that it comes from the Chaoyang Valley in the eastern part of the Tianwu Kingdom and is the tooth of the monster "Tianwu" in the valley.
Each one is priceless.
There are actually three at this moment!
So I added a condition: if the three pills are not used up, I will keep any remaining pills for myself. However, if the three pills are used up and the result is unsuccessful, all deposits will be refunded.
This is a great deal.
Because the employer also knows a very powerful prophet, who predicts that today will be successful.
I don't know what the relationship between my employer and this man is, why there is such a big hatred, but I don't care.
But at this moment, after I fired a shot, my hand started shaking uncontrollably.
…
Liu Xiao felt like she had lost control of her right arm.
First there was numbness, then severe pain, which made him scream miserably. At the same time, his vision became dim and he almost fainted.
In front of him, Shen Song was shot through the chest by a bullet. He lost his breath almost instantly and fell down.
There was a hole as big as a child's head behind him, and blood and flesh exploded in all directions, staining Liu Xiao's body.
Behind the surrounding shops, countless figures appeared, climbing over the tops of the houses.
Before he even landed, he raised the special pistol in his hand, pointed at Liu Xiao and pulled the trigger repeatedly, firing all the bullets in the blink of an eye.
Then he threw away his pistol, drew his sword, and rushed over.
These people are all extraordinary.
The three weapons beside Liu Xiao circled and intertwined in complex trajectories, blocking all bullets.
The severe pain in his shoulder made him unsteady and fell to the ground.
The moment he fell to the ground, with him as the center, the ground suddenly fluctuated like water.
As the fluctuations became more and more violent, countless cracks filled the area of tens of meters, just in time to surround all surrounding enemies.
The ground exploded, and earth and rocks flew vertically upwards to tens of meters in the air, and then gathered and covered them.
Like a big hand, it pulls all surrounding enemies into the ground and buries them.
The whole process takes less than ten seconds.
For ten seconds, Hui Wuyou just turned his head and glanced at the extraordinary being who was protecting him, before he could speak.
The sniper just loaded the gun and looked through the scope to check the situation.
Huiwu opened his mouth right, but all the words were stuck in his throat, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
Such a tall and strong man was frightened by the young man who was unable to approach him a hundred meters away.
The sniper's scope shook a bit, but failed to aim at Liu Xiao in the first place.
He found that it was his own hands that were shaking. He felt fear for the first time, and his palms holding the handle of the gun were sweating.
Not all of the eighteen people buried alive died immediately. A few heads were exposed, and they were letting out heart-rending screams.
I don’t know whether I should say it’s lucky or unfortunate.
If there are hands and feet sticking out of the ground, the body will be straight and the veins will bulge.
The hands scratched on the gravel and were bleeding, and the nails were broken, but it was all to no avail.
After a while, everything became quiet.
Liu Xiao covered her bleeding shoulder and stood up, her arms hanging weakly by her side.
Looking at the building hundreds of meters away, he knew that the sniper there was the big problem today and he had to find a way to solve it.
However, the range of his extraordinary ability cannot exceed 100 meters. Although the objects he controls can fly beyond this limit, they cannot be sensed outside the range, and their lethality is greatly reduced.
The only possibility is a dagger that can teleport, Yuyu, but he has also tried the teleportation range of Yuyu, and it is only fifty meters, which is simply out of reach.
what to do……
Are you really going to die from this?
Haha, the arrangements were really thoughtful. If I died after losing hope of returning home, at least I wouldn't have so many regrets.
I'm just a little sorry for Yue Fei.
The night before yesterday, I should have restrained myself from delaying her.
The sniper didn't fire.
Although Liu Xiao was unconscious due to severe pain and blood loss, he was still aware.
Although the bullets he used were special and could not be sensed by divinity, he had no other special abilities.
It's just incomprehensible, and the other party is an incredibly powerful extraordinary person!
Without the help of others, it is absolutely impossible to hit it by yourself.
