Under the thin moonlight, it was dark and dark outside the city.
As Jiang Ren and Zhou Yunlan disappeared into the night, a man wearing night clothes appeared on the city wall they climbed over.
He was tall and thin, holding a man covered in blood in his right hand, touching his chin with his left hand, looking at the direction Jiang Ren was leaving with interest: "The relationship between people and taboo objects has actually reversed, which is interesting."
I just happened to be passing by and received the news that the mission had failed, so I took care of the beginning and the end.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
The man in black threw the bloody man out of the city. He also took two steps forward and fell towards the ground.
The bloody man fell straight to the ground from the ten-meter-high city wall, making a muffled sound that was not obvious among the howling wind.
Through the dim moonlight, half of the bloody man's face could be faintly seen.
——Earl Sunak.
Judging from his wide-open eyes and wide-open eyes, he was already dead. There was still some confusion and confusion in his eyes, and it seemed that he died suddenly.
call!
The man in black landed lightly on the ground without any pause. He took two steps in the direction Jiang Ren left. He was about to speed up when he suddenly stopped.
Raise your left hand, palm up.
There is a complicated rune on it, which is glowing with a dull red light at the moment.
"Exposed?!"
The man in black frowned, and with a wave of his hand, the red light disappeared.
After taking a look at the direction Jiang Ren was leaving, he turned at a certain angle and headed in a northerly direction.
In just a blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"The Resurgence Society's base is far away from here. It takes about a day and a night by carriage, but for me, one hour is enough."
In the silent wilderness, Jiang Ren glanced at Zhou Yunlan, who was hugging his shoulders by the cold wind next to him, and his body directly expanded and deformed.
It has a technological appearance and a pure black body.
This is a locomotive that is nearly twice the size of a normal locomotive.
The handles, windshield, rearview mirrors, pedals and other parts are abandoned, and there is no place for people to sit on the body. There is a transparent glass cover above, and just enough space for one person to lie down below.
"Lie in."
The glass cover opened upwards and Jiang Ren said to Zhou Yunlan.
Zhou Yunlan looked at the thing in front of him that he had never seen before, hesitated for a moment, and then lay down obediently.
Although she doubted whether this thing was a torture device, at this point, she could only choose to believe in this mysterious forbidden object senior, and besides, it would not be so troublesome for the senior to kill her.
boom!
Accompanied by the deafening roar of the engine, two groups of dark black flames were sprayed out from the two exhaust holes at the rear end of the locomotive, and the entire locomotive suddenly rushed out like an arrow.
Jiang Ren was flying freely in the wilderness, and he felt like he was letting himself go.
Whether it's flat land, a steep mountain road, or a mountain forest full of obstacles, braking in front of him is like it no longer exists, and all he can do is accelerate! Accelerate! Accelerate!
He was happy.
However, this was not very friendly to Zhou Yunlan.
First, I heard a sound that almost deafened my ears at close range, and then the surrounding scenery turned into an afterimage. Then my body swayed left and right with the swing of the locomotive, and my head accidentally hit the glass cover.
For a moment, she was frightened and frightened.
After nearly an hour's journey.
The locomotive arrived near the Resurgence Society base that Zhou Yunlan mentioned.
"Come out and see if the front is the stronghold you mentioned?"
Jiang Ren looked a few hundred meters ahead, slowed down, stopped, and opened the glass cover.
Ugh~!
Zhou Yunlan climbed and rolled out of the car, knelt on the ground, and vomited up the food in her belly.
She swore that she would never do this damn thing again. It was so tortured. She felt like her stomach was churning in the middle of the journey. Now she couldn't help but throw up as soon as she parked the car. It felt like she had vomited out all the sesame seed cakes she had eaten this morning.
After more than a dozen breaths, she calmed down and looked forward.
Just one glance, and his face changed instantly.
The stronghold ahead was completely different from the one hidden deep in the mountains when she left, looking inconspicuous from the outside.
The eye-catching firelight has surrounded the entire mountain, and various sounds will erupt from time to time, which can be clearly heard even from hundreds of meters away.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and a tiger-shaped machine beast about five meters high sprang out of the mountain forest that had turned into a sea of fire. Its dark metal body looked cold and cruel under the light of the fire.
"Elder Bu!"
Seeing the machine beast, Zhou Yunlan's frightened and dull eyes changed. She lifted up her skirt and wanted to run over.
She wanted Elder Step, who only controlled this machine beast, to ask why the stronghold became like this.
"etc."
Jiang Ren stopped her.
Before Zhou Yunlan could say anything, he saw that the machine beast seemed to be frozen in the air, motionless.
The sea of fire below gathered together like flowing water and turned into a fire snake. Its upper body slowly rose, and its head stopped at the same height as the machine beast.
Two Imperial men stood above the fire snake.
A red-haired boy with no clothes on his body, his body seemed to be bathed in flames.
A middle-aged man wearing a dress hat, a pocket watch in his left hand, and a cane in his right hand.
"Number B——113, named Beast Totem, can give dead animals spirituality. Depending on the dead object, the spiritual amplification effect will be different."
"The B-class beast totem, coupled with the beast-shaped machine beast made by you as a machine master, magically possesses the power of one plus one, which is greater than two. Because of this, you have repeatedly caused damage to our empire, and finally succeeded.
Escape."
"But this time, you can't run away."
The man in the suit glanced at the still time on his pocket watch, smiled and shrugged at the machine beast's dim eyes.
The red-haired boy picked his ears and said boredly: "It's so boring. Can I kill him?"
roar!
The machine beast opened its mouth and wanted to bite the two of them, but its body only moved for half a second before stopping again.
"This is not possible, our mission is to arrest him."
The man in the dress said to the red-haired boy, then looked at the pointer on the pocket watch that shook just now, and smiled: "Bu Lian, in order to capture you, I sacrificed more than a thousand of your kin in advance. If I can still let you
It’s easy to break free, so my sage pocket watch doesn’t deserve to be called a B-class forbidden object..."
Peng——
Suddenly, a burst of fire exploded around the man in the suit and the red-haired boy.
Their bodies exploded instantly, and their flesh, blood, and bones were turned into ashes in the fire. Only a pocket watch and a fiery red eyeball survived and flew out of the explosion.
Bu Lian, who was standing at the edge of the fire, stared at this scene blankly.
I don't understand how the two Imperial men who were so arrogant just now died in an instant without even a trace left.
"Elder Bu! Elder Bu..."
Zhou Yunlan's voice attracted his attention.
Only then did Bu Lian realize that there was a metal creature like a bird next to him. Sitting on it was a pale-faced Zhou Yunlan, waving to him.
"You did it..."
As soon as Bu Lian opened his mouth to ask, he was interrupted by Zhou Yunlan's anxious voice: "Elder Bu, what's going on? How did our stronghold become like this?"
If it were the past, Bu Lian would have asked Zhou Yunlan to answer his own questions first.
But when he thought that the two imperial men who had taken advantage of him just now were probably solved by Zhou Yunlan, he did not do so. He fell straight into the charred forest below, climbed out of the machine beast, and answered Zhou Yunlan's question in a short story.
An hour ago, two Imperials raided the stronghold.
In order to cover the retreat of the people in the stronghold, he fought to the death with the Imperials, and was finally pinned in the air when all his trump cards were revealed.
Having said this, Bu Lian spread his left hand and looked worriedly at the runes glowing red on his palm: "Not only my stronghold, but also the headquarters has been attacked. The Imperial people are definitely prepared this time.
, they want to uproot us, but I don’t know if Huizhu Liu can survive it.”
Zhou Yunlan's face turned pale: "The headquarters was also attacked, how could it happen?"
After hearing this, Jiang Ren felt no fluctuation in his heart.
He had no interest in the Resurrection Society. The reason why he wanted to come to them was just because they were the strongest force against the invaders and might have information about Nie Xian'er.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
However, after Bu Lian said so much, there was still one thing that interested him a little bit.
Jiang Ren asked: "Guild Master Liu? Don't you know the full name of the guild leader?"
The sudden sound startled Bu Lian, and he subconsciously summoned the machine beast to his side to protect him.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunlan remembered that she hadn't introduced Jiang Ren yet, apologized quickly, and then told Jiang Ren's story again.
After Bu Lian heard this, although he was still wary of Jiang Ren, he still thanked him for saving Zhou Yunlan and for taking action just now, and then said the full name of President Liu.
——Liu Zirou!
A name that Jiang Ren almost forgot.
This is the name of Nie Xian'er, whom he treats as his daughter, and his closest friend.
