Bricks of various sizes shattered and fell to the ground.
The flying dust gradually dispersed, revealing an almost perfect ancient Greek sculpture.
But that's not a sculpture.
It's people.
It's Xu Cheng.
He swung his right fist forward vigorously, and his movements froze in place.
The body is obviously completely still, but the joints, skin, muscles, and even the folds of clothes are all filled with a kind of destructive tension!
"ah……"
The last wisp of white smoke he had inhaled slowly flowed out from his mouth.
Until it runs out.
At the foot of the ancient Greek sculpture, there are two huge broken fingers, the middle finger and the ring finger, which are slowly melting like ice cubes.
Xu Cheng moved his gaze upwards and looked deeper into the corridor.
That big hand has disappeared.
Two of its fingers were broken by Xu Cheng's punch, and then it retreated into the shadows deeper in the corridor as if fleeing for its life.
Wow...
The two severed fingers eventually turned into two puddles of water stains.
It was at that moment that the damp corridor became visibly dry.
Like an ebbing tide, it retreated from behind Xu Cheng to in front of him, and then retreated deeper into the corridor.
Xu Cheng slowly stood up, walked not far away, and picked up the original energy block that fell to the ground.
Original energy flowed into the body, and Chu Qiu's figure appeared.
Xu Cheng is still looking around.
“Where is the carrier of the advent?”
He was talking about the piece of meat of unknown origin.
Chu Qiupiao stood aside and said, "The woman just escaped with the piece of meat and took the ventilation pipe."
Hearing this, Xu Cheng's eyes turned to the depths of the corridor again.
According to the information he had obtained before, the carrier of the arrival was still there, so the strange creatures would not disappear.
As soon as he saw the action, Chu Qiu knew what his old man meant, and then comforted him:
"The essence of weird creatures is 'living things' and they are alive."
"The instinct of a living thing must be to fear death."
"That big hand had two fingers broken off. It was afraid of death, so it ran away and ran back to its source."
"The combination of the carrier and the original energy block provides a door for strange creatures to descend, but that door is one-time use, so unless the original energy block and the carrier are combined again, there will be no chance for that big hand to descend again."
As soon as he said this, Xu Cheng relaxed and gently pushed his old woman's hair behind her ears.
Well, I really can’t get enough of it.
But Chu Qiu changed the subject and suddenly said: "However, there is one more thing I am curious about."
Xu Cheng's expression immediately became serious, "What's the matter?"
"There are a lot of women around you recently."
Xu Cheng: "..."
Xu Cheng: "Haha!"
They are both an old couple, so of course Xu Cheng understands that Chu Qiu is joking...right?
More or less, he was caring about himself after all, after all, he just had a battle with a strange creature.
Chu Qiu's hand gently touched Xu Cheng's fist. It was a fist as hard as a diamond. It could tear even the weird things in the dark, but Chu Qiu sighed like this -
"It's so warm..."
…
The damp corridor has completely receded.
Xu Cheng returned to the heavy iron door, inserted his two hands under the iron door, and slowly lifted it up.
Click, click, click...
The slot above the iron door creaked, indicating that this was not the correct way to open it.
When the iron door was lifted halfway, Xu Cheng got out and saw the old man who had been waiting for a long time.
This didn't bother Xu Cheng. After all, the underground arena was the old man's territory. How could he not notice what was going on here?
Xu Cheng let go of his hand, and the iron door hit the ground with a "bang" again.
"Where's Qianqian?"
"Let's rest for a while and then leave."
The old man shrugged his shoulders and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
One for myself and one for you.
The two of them each held a cigarette in their mouths, leaned against the wall, and lit the cigarettes.
call……
"Good smoke." Xu Cheng praised: "What brand is it?"
The old man said calmly: "I have a private manor abroad, and I made it in my own workshop."
Xu Cheng paused, "I thought only cigars can be customized."
"There are also cigars, do you want them?"
"..."
Xu Cheng shook his head, "Forget it, I can't get used to smoking that thing."
"Ha ha!"
The old man smiled happily, shook the ashes from his cigarette, and pointed directly above the two of them with the finger holding the cigarette.
"I'll have someone take you out of the secret passage in a moment. The gymnasium up here is full of witnesses. I think they will be able to find out here soon."
Xu Cheng took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Will there be any trouble?"
This is a gray industry run by an old man, but the witnesses are official organizations backed by Azure.
The latter will probably not allow the former to exist.
"We can't afford this situation, but..."
The old man changed the topic and said with a smile while talking to the beasts: "Who do you think I am? I have already made arrangements. Nothing will be left behind."
"You leave in a while, and I leave again. This place is just an underground building that has been abandoned for many years. It will probably be judged as the temporary base of the Star Chamber of Commerce."
"Otherwise, why would I have been running these businesses for so many years?"
The tone seemed to be showing off, as usual.
Hearing what the old man said, Xu Cheng finally felt relieved.
The two of them smoked in silence until the cigarette was about to burn out.
Xu Cheng started to leave. When he walked to the corner of the corridor, he turned his back to the old man and gently waved twice in the air with the hand holding the cigarette to signal farewell.
"Thanks."
Xu Cheng suddenly spit out these two words.
Hearing this, even the old man couldn't help but be stunned.
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Qianqian, the medical kit on the ship, the wine, this place... and this cigarette."
Xu Cheng said a lot of nonsense.
The old man smiled even more happily.
He was still standing there, smoking, and the sound of Xu Cheng's footsteps gradually disappearing in his ears.
"..."
No one spoke anymore.
Xu Cheng has gone far.
Qianqian returned to the ground long before the witnesses arrived.
Those excited spectators and enthusiastic players had already left the venue earlier.
"Wow! Is there anyone there?"
He suddenly poked his head out from the corner of the corridor, as if trying to scare people passing by, but found nothing.
In such a big place, it seemed like the old man was the only one left.
"They're all gone. It's not fun."
The old man pouted, like a child.
He just stood in the corner, smoking slowly.
Until the subordinates he sent to deal with the aftermath came over and protected the old man from leaving through the secret passage of the underground building.
At first, the old man was still sullen and seemed a little disappointed.
But as he walked, his voice humming a tune reached the ears of the surrounding bodyguards.
Those bodyguards have been with the old man for many years, so they know very well how the old man feels now——
That's quite happy!
He should have seen a "struggle" that made him quite satisfied.
"Just play with these young people to the end, that will be fun!" - the old man thought in his heart.
…
On the ground, it was already night.
After the game ended, the audience left the field one after another, including three people.
Qianqian who just won the game, Han Xing who just finished the work, and Xu Cheng who just fought off the strange creatures.
The three of them left the gym almost at the same time.
Xu Cheng was alone, Han Xing made up an excuse for having a stomachache, and Qianqian said she had to work overtime.
So these three people left separately.
But the three of them had a similar idea in their hearts——
