The extremely quiet scene at this time made Su Ge feel that his breathing began to become difficult. Invisible pressure came from all around, as if even the air had weight.
Who the hell is this?!
Why did you come here to cause trouble at this time? I finally figured out a way to sneak into the city, and it was only a little bit away...
How can this be called telling a fairy tale? This is clearly telling a ghost story?
Su Ge was so angry that he wanted to kick this little girl back to the city, but before that, he knew that he had to face a more serious thing first.
Looking at the cold eyes of the guard and Fusman, Su Ge felt the pressure of adults coming from the two of them. He knew Fusman's strength well. If he came hard, the opponent could beat ten of him. Now
With the addition of a guard with weapons, he has no chance of winning.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm down his emotions, "Maybe this is just a coincidence."
The guard stared at Su Ge's face intently, but did not answer him. He waved to the guard who was counting people just now, "I just checked the number of people. Fifty-four people, right?"
"Yes."
"Including this person?" the guard asked, pointing at Su Ge.
"Um..." The guard who called the name hesitated. After being reminded like this, he realized that he seemed to have ignored it. "I'll go right away and count it again."
Su Ge looked at the figure that was quickly going away, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. At this time, he saw the guard taking out the identity certificate and asked himself seriously: "Say your name again."
Forsman, the team leader, stood side by side with the guards, and the two burly adults put tremendous pressure on him.
"...Suge? Iosig."
The guard kept turning it over in his hands. After checking it quickly, he shrugged his shoulders and took a deep breath. He showed the document in his hand to Su Ge and said, "Your name is not in it. No, there is no name Su Ge? Iosig."
After a while, the guard who was counting people ran back and glanced at Su Ge, "There are fifty-four in total, not including this person."
The atmosphere began to become tense and subtle. A hidden secret would soon be exposed, and no one present knew what it would look like by then.
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was trembling slightly either because of the cold or because of fear, the guard took a step forward, grasped the double-barreled shotgun on his shoulder with one hand, and spoke again:
"Say your true name and origin, and hand over your identification."
At this point, the guard suddenly emphasized his tone, "Otherwise we will regard you as a heretic and arrest you immediately here!"
The other two guards around him also noticed something strange, and they put down their work and ran over quickly.
The circle formed by the three city gate guards continued to shrink, and Su Ge's nervousness gradually reached the extreme, and his ears became red.
He knew that he couldn't resist. Once he resisted, he would have confirmed the guard's guess. He would probably be called a heretic and punished. But if he didn't resist, he would also be arrested. After investigation, it was probably the same.
fate.
He has been hungry for a week, relying only on river water and some grass roots to feed himself. Walking here has almost used up all his energy. If he is arrested as a heretic, he doesn't know if he can survive.
Looking at the big city that was still brightly lit in the dark, there seemed to be a familiar smell of stew floating past the tip of his nose, and Su Ge felt that his mouth was secreting some saliva uncontrollably.
The originally almost perfect plan to sneak into the city was just a little bit off, but unexpectedly it was ruined by a child's story.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have used those crooked ideas...
Thinking of this, Su Ge felt regretful. He looked at Naia in red clothes intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly found that the child was looking at him with squinted eyes, a look on his face.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Wearing an angelic smile.
Naiya sat on the low carriage frame, dangling her legs, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
While looking at Su Ge, she held her hands flat, stood up with the other hand, and used her index and middle fingers to make a "running" gesture.
Su Ge was stunned and didn't understand what Naia meant.
At this time, the guards were on full alert.
An ordinary person? Is it a coincidence, or does the other party really have a plan? Is he really a person of unknown origin who wants to sneak into York City and what is his plot?
Is it a devil?
The guard licked his lips, controlled his hand holding the shotgun, and suddenly shouted, "Say your name and origin, otherwise, we will really treat you as a heretic and arrest you!"
In the suffocating silence, Su Ge's heavy breathing was particularly clear.
The other two guards also paused for a moment after hearing the order, and then they recovered, quickly removed their double-barreled shotguns, and took aim and shoot.
The gas lamp illuminated a hazy orange color in the drizzle. During the tense confrontation that made people unable to breathe, a "Gulu" sound suddenly came from Su Ge's stomach, which was particularly loud in the silent environment.
The guard and Fusman, who was a little further away, were both stunned. They looked at the weak young man, their lips moving, as if they wanted to say something.
Everything was quiet except for the faint rustle of drizzle.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion appeared on the other side of the city gate, followed by violent shaking from beneath the feet.
The huge contrast between movement and stillness shocked everyone present. Their minds went blank for a moment. They all turned their heads and looked past the high wall of the city gate. After a while, they saw a burst of thick black smoke rising.
got up, and then the cries and screams came one after another.
"What's going on?!" the guard yelled in confusion. He watched the thick smoke rising to the sky. He recalled Naiya's story just now and felt extremely fearful in his heart.
"Devils...are there really demons?" the guard muttered to himself. As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and found that the place where Su Ge was standing was empty.
"Inside and outside?" The guard hurriedly looked in the direction of the city gate, but only saw a thin figure flashing past the door and disappearing in an instant.
Too bad...
The guard guards the south gate and knows the layout of the city very well. He knows that after entering through the south gate in front of him, and then going a little further east, he will reach the relatively chaotic lower neighborhood of York City, where the population is chaotic, there is a steady stream of tenants, and even one room
Four or five people can be crammed into the house, and the house can be cycled two or three times a week. It is easy to hide a person in such an environment, and with the explosion just now, it will definitely be even more chaotic.
Just when he was getting anxious, he saw a man in a white trench coat approaching from the darkness.
The man stopped under the dim gas light and opened his hood, revealing long pale golden hair that was very conspicuous even in the dim light.
"Is this...a salute to welcome me back from completing my mission? It is really unexpected and grand. If it is to praise me, it only needs money, and...why is it this color?"
The man in white didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the matter, blinking his eyes with confusion on his face.
"Mr Ondu!"
The guard burst into tears instantly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and rushed to the man in white, "When did you come back?"
"As you can see, I just came back. The other people have already returned to their respective churches with their own share. Don't worry." The man named Angdu brushed away the drizzle on his body and pointed at the black smoke not far away.
He pursed his lips and asked, "What's going on?"
The guard looked serious and said seriously: "It should be the devil's remnants, the same devil incident a week ago."
Angdu's pupils shrank, "Tell me more details."
After the guard told Angdu the whole story, Angdu touched his chin and raised his head to think.
"I was the one who handled the demonic incident, and no other traces were found at the scene at that time.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, maybe it’s like you said, there are remnants,” Angdu turned his head, “Assign one person to go to the association for help and tell them the whole story, but I guess they have already started to take action at this time, can they find...
Well, I can only pray for the goddess’s blessing.”
After arranging the next action, Angdu put on his hood again and tidied it up from top to bottom to make himself look more energetic, but his face instantly fell after a confident smile.
"In the midst of endless tasks, a simple vacation has become such a luxury."
Angdu hesitated step by step, "Originally, at this time, shouldn't everyone gather together in the association, with fresh milk strawberry cake and sweet sparkling wine on the table, and start a joyful celebration party?"
While daydreaming unrealistically, Angdu suddenly felt something. He turned around and saw a child in red clothes smiling at him.
Before he could say anything, the child suddenly jumped off the carriage and trotted all the way into the city.
"Be safe, don't go near the explosion area." Ang Du shouted to the child, but the other party didn't seem to hear him.
??????
Su Ge covered his head and moved towards the direction of the fire.
After entering the city, he was shocked for a moment by the scene in front of him, and then found that the situation here was more chaotic than he imagined. The fine rain did not have the slightest effect on putting out the fire. Instead, it aroused large amounts of thick smoke, causing everyone to fight the fire.
All the people were disgraced.
He picked up a piece of rag on the ground, which seemed to be part of some curtains, and casually wrapped it around him, then wiped it on a burnt piece of wood and smeared the black ash on his face.
With their weak bodies and pale faces, they looked exactly like those who had lost their strength due to fighting fires.
People not far away were busy putting out the fire. Su Ge looked around, planning to find a place to hide first.
Finally came in, but it was completely different from what he expected. Although it was not the worst situation, it was not far behind. How could it become like this... Su Ge felt disappointed for a while, but his desire to survive made him give up thinking about these things for the time being.
, he knew what he needed to do now was to find a place to hide without being caught by the guards.
He spotted a hidden alley entrance on the crowded street and was about to go there. Suddenly, a man dressed as a guard ran past him. Su Ge recognized it as one of the previous guards. He was panicked. Fortunately,
What's wrong is that the other party didn't notice him.
Maybe these disguises worked... Su Ge breathed a sigh of relief. The fear of being almost discovered made him take a step back unconsciously. He happened to stumble on something and fell backwards.
Subconsciously tightening all the muscles in his body, but unexpectedly spinning around, Su Ge gasped nervously and felt a force coming from behind.
Turning around and looking over, I saw an old woman with completely white hair. She was supporting herself with one hand and seemed to be holding something in the other hand.
"Firefighting is a very physically demanding job. Here, there is bread in the temporary shed over there. Although it is not freshly baked, I think it is still delicious."
Su Ge lowered his head, and the aroma of thick pea soup penetrated his nose. He was silent for a moment, then picked it up and drank it all.
"Thanks."
"No, no, no, you helped us put out the fire. We should express our gratitude." The old woman took a step back, clasped her hands together with a pious expression, "Thank you to the great goddess of space for making the world full of goodwill and peace."
Su Ge looked at the old woman, pursed his lips hard, returned the bowl to the old woman's hand, then turned around and left, disappearing from the corner of the street in the blink of an eye.
As soon as he arrived at a deserted place, Su Ge's eyes suddenly went dark.
Oops, is this a symptom of hypoglycemia? If you faint here, you will definitely be found... He felt bad in his heart, but he was unable to change it. The exhaustion of energy and weakness made his eyelids feel heavier and heavier.
In his last moments of confusion, he seemed to see a small red figure.
