69novels Chapter 121
Chapter 121
"Speaking of which, do you really believe that a gem can make people live forever?"
Before the official start of the game, Qian Mu started this topic like a whim of curiosity.
Salamander didn't answer.
His red eyeballs were darker than the man's real pupils, as if more turbid black had been mixed in. The greed for something in his eyes overwhelmed the desire for survival brought by reason.
And what he coveted and stared at were the eyes of the red-haired man.
Others looking for Pandora can only tell by whether the gem can change color under the moon, Salamander is an exception.
The magical characteristics carried by Pandora seem to exude the aroma of poppy, which has an irresistible traction to magic masters.From this, he also learned that the "power" he wanted was hidden in the blue of the man's eyes.
Salamander's eyes said it all, he wanted desperately, eagerly, excitedly to reach out and gouge out those beautiful sky blue eyes.
"Oh, it's really familiar."
Qian Mu symbolically covered his left eye, the black leather of the glove pressed the eyelid, sending a little coldness.
He hooked the corners of his lips and narrowed his exposed right eye. There seemed to be a glimmer of dark scarlet through the blue, which flashed in his eyes: "Leave aside being too impatient, I have questions and answers, it should be a visit." Or basic politeness."
Salamander testified firsthand that he is not a polite "guest".
The power suppressed by the inexplicable existence has completely returned, and it is even stronger than before coming to the island country by three points.
The "suppression" was done by the red-haired man, and then the man let go of the restrictions because of his arrogance. The wizard in the black cloak would not let this opportunity go. His self-confidence swelled, so there was no reason to be afraid.
Capable people seldom fight with capable people, the main reason is that they are rare in number, they are not gathered together by joining the same organization, and they are basically not encountered in normal times.
If they meet, they must be divided into life and death, and the one who dies will definitely be the one who cares most.
Everyone with abilities is very proud, and those who float the highest will show fatal flaws because they underestimate their opponents.
Salamander's eyelids drooped involuntarily for a moment, then lifted, like a normal blink.
He didn't feel anything himself, and was secretly excited: I found this guy's biggest [weakness].
— arrogance will drive the man to his own death.
Qian Mu got out of the narrow car seat and just took his leisurely first step in the aisle when his eyes suddenly fell to his feet, and at the same time he said softly "Huh?"
It was as if he had accidentally stepped into an invisible trap, and his right foot could no longer be lifted, let alone moved.
Several invisible rhizomes spread out from the trap, instantly entangled his legs, and his arms were bound together with the tightened waist. For a moment, his whole body suffered from rigid stagnation.
The rhizome is still winding upwards, and the next step is to take root in his brain, erode and capture his consciousness network.
Salamander was ruthless as soon as he came up, as long as the spiritual magic he used with all his strength could plunder the enemy's will, victory would be within his grasp.
The enemy didn't seem to understand magic, never thought that he would set the trap so quickly and silently, and fell into the trap after only a few steps.
Just like this train that shuttles through the snow on its own, the overly arrogant enemy has not provided any protection for itself, not even subconsciously blocking it.
In a split second, Salamander's magic easily invaded his spiritual world. There was only one closed door to take away his personality sovereignty and turn him into a puppet who could only obey orders.
The door is still not closed tightly, and it can be pushed open with a raised hand.
Salamander licked his parched lips impatiently.
Although he still cautiously parked at the door of the carriage and did not approach, the red-haired man's footsteps stopped suddenly, his stiff figure was lifted slightly like a marionette, and his eyes became hollow... It all showed that he was really enchanted control, and failed to escape.
"I'm going to make you——my puppet!" The cloaked man's hoarse voice was full of excitement.
Not only does he have the special ability to suppress the power of a person with abilities, but the man's body is also the most perfect body he has ever seen, countless times better than the puppet materials he randomly found in the past.
Through the roots of spiritual power, one can perceive that this body does not have a trace of fat, and the body proportions and muscle arrangement are just right. It is strong but not exaggerated. It is as powerful as the "life force" that bursts and regenerates, all in a thin layer of skin Down the turbulent flow.
It would be a pity to kill Pandora after taking it away. It is good to make a puppet for research, and it is better to use it as a tool. Salamander is eager to get him.
As a result, the invisible rhizomes entwined even tighter, stabbing into the red-haired man's body with the force that would crush him, seeming to spread all over the body more delicately than blood vessels.
Converted into a more direct description: Salamander has reached out and pressed the door,
Those who don't know are fearless, and he also committed the big taboo of underestimating his opponent. After using all his strength, he finally pushed away confidently——
One, tiny gap?
"?"
Salamander was dumbfounded.
Afterwards, he would be sincerely moved, and he could actually get a momentary breath of sluggishness.
"Don't knock on the door to say hello, don't apologize, and trespass into the privacy of strangers. Is this the tradition of your organization?"
This is the second time he has been harassed, Qian Mu is quite puzzled by this, and he can hear how helpless he is from his voice.
"If you don't have some down-to-earth real swords and guns, you always like to play tricks and take shortcuts, which makes me want to make the game fairer. If your name isn't Saiki Kusuo, don't be so harsh on yourself."
After a moment of courtesy, his eyes returned to clarity, and Qian Mu, who felt that he was giving another "player" face, finished feeling, and the smile on his lips slightly retracted.
He said indifferently: "Even if Kusuo wants to see it, he knows to say hello to me in advance. Forgive me for not wanting to welcome guests who are not polite at all."
Just as the ending sound fell, there was a sudden scream from the door of the carriage that was transmitted directly to the night sky, which was similar to Snake not long ago.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Salamander hugged his head and rolled on the ground, rolling back and forth on the ground like a worm whose body had been trampled to pieces, bumping into the seat beside him from time to time, with such force that the seat trembled and shook.
Salamander's red eyes were intact, but what he felt was the unbearable pain in his eyes. Although the pain was slightly lighter than that of his brain that seemed to explode several times in an instant, his vision was deprived, and he was still bleeding out. tears of blood.
Through that almost negligible crack in the door, he "sees" what he cannot see.
He "saw" the boundless sea of ice.
He "sees" the only fiery red figure in the ice and snow, everything is silent, and the owner of the figure is walking on the road that does not know when it will end, bearing all the loneliness.
He seems to have "seen" extremely vaguely——
A painting of wanton smearing of color.
A towering tree growing in a pot.
An absurd and distorted [world] that will be deeply rooted in the foundation of countless worlds, but pruned to be normal.
Even if what he glimpsed was only a one-in-a-billion phantom, Salamander's shallow spiritual ocean couldn't bear it, and he was almost crippled on the spot by the backlash.
He was luckier than Snake because Snake met a man who happened to be trapped in the world of consciousness. He could not escape or repent. His consciousness was directly dragged into the "door". That little seam.
Qian Mu watched the man in the cloak tumbling wildly like he was on fire, but just looked at it without emotion, and did nothing else—oh, he was slightly distracted and looked at the time.
1 minutes.
4 minutes left.
"The door has been open, and the windows have not been closed. There is a lot of wind blowing in. It seems a bit cold." Qian Mu asked politely, "Would you mind using the magic you are good at to help start the fire?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Salamander's screams eased a little, but the backlash was far from over, his mind was still extremely unconscious under the severe pain, but the word sound that leaked out subconsciously was obviously not "can", it was more likely——
"Yes? Thank you so much."
Qian Mu smiled.
"...?!"
Salamander pressed his head tightly, and his body curled up close to the ground suddenly froze.
He was shocked to find that his magic power was disappearing rapidly, this was definitely not his own will, but——
"Whoa!"
"Crack, click bang!"
fire!
The magic works!
The empty car seat closest to him suddenly caught fire, implicating the entire row in an instant, and the curtains in front of the windows were also burned. Amidst the creaking noise, the wantonly twisted and swaying flames spread forward row by row.
The carriage was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.
Salamander was caught by the fire unexpectedly, and the pain from the burning to the flesh made him conscious. When he came back to his senses, the burning cloak almost reached the top of his head, and the clothes inside were also set ablaze.
His first reaction was to use magic to put out the fire, but he couldn't extinguish the fire he let out by himself. Seeing that the flames were about to cover his whole body, Salamander had to take off his cloak and slap the remaining black robes that burned on his body. fire.
"Huh, ha... ha..."
Salamander, who lost his cloak, turned into a man in black robe who was panting heavily and pale.
His face was covered in ashes, his robe was burned with holes everywhere, and his exposed skin was also burnt.
In the same sea of fires that are still growing, his enemies are in stark contrast to him.
The roaring flames stretched out minions from all sides to the middle, surrounding the red-haired man standing in the middle of the aisle.
His windbreaker was on fire, and the long hair on his back should have climbed into the flickering flames.
The fire will cling to his white and soft skin and devour him, just like the only kiss in this world that melts people with blazing heat.
but.
Salamander's dull eyeballs were imprinted with a stronger red color than his original pupil color, as if they were crushed mercilessly.
The red-haired man wrapped in flames did not change his expression or smile. He just raised his hand and gently pulled the braid behind him to his front.
call.
Twisting the braids with his fingertips, he lowered his head slightly, blowing out the little flames that were attached to the end of his red hair.
"The temperature is just right for heating. Allow me to thank you for your enthusiastic support."
"........."
Salamander's breathing became increasingly difficult and he may have been choking on the smoke from the cabin.
Finally, he moved.
Like a gust of wind that accelerates and will accelerate again, Salamander turns and rushes towards the outside of the carriage, the door is still open, as long as he rushes out, he will be able to escape, the Pandora on that man, he can't afford it, no one can want it afford it!
It only takes a moment to rush out of the car.
He felt the cold wind that cooled instantly at the junction of the carriages, but he couldn't stop walking and plunged into the snowy night outside the train.
"Don't worry, there are still 3 minutes."
A warm reminder appeared behind him.
The perfunctory player who was trying to abstain from halftime snorted in pain, deviated from the track chosen by the owner and headed forward, and smashed through the door of the previous carriage with his flesh and blood.
Qian Mu took a few steps behind before following, his pace was neither too fast nor too slow, like a dignified and elegant guest despite the wind and snow.
When the train stopped at the last station, the original passengers drove away in another car with a generous compensation, and the whole train was chartered by him, so he was not considered a guest in this way—but there must be a distinction.
Unlike the clowns of the zoo organization, he is very polite.
The fire also ignited in this empty carriage.
Salamander still didn't give up, he wanted to avoid the flames he was most used to, as long as he rushed out of the car a little faster-every time he thought like this, and every time he fell short because he was too slow for the right moment.
The red-haired man is even more vicious than him... No!The behavior of this person is simply indescribable fear!
When he was about to escape, the man lifted his foot and kicked him into the previous car, and at the same time unscrupulously extracted his magic power, which in turn burned the train car from the beginning to the end.
"Why... Cough, cough, why, you can do it!"
Salamander was forced to roll around in the carriage, only half of the mysterious black robe was left in tatters, and the person was almost a piece of scorched charcoal, and some fragments of cognition could be glimpsed on the face whose facial features were difficult to see clearly. I can't believe it.
Take away his magic power silently, walk in the raging sea of fire with a refreshed body...
How could there be such an inconceivably powerful force?
How could there be such a terrifying person... I can't understand.
If such human beings really exist, why would they appear here leisurely?He obviously has more things he can do and get!
What the hell is he trying to do?Who the hell is he? !
"No particular reason."
It hurts people to say it, but because it doesn't matter, Qian Mu still said: "There is a need for icing on the cake, a little sense of responsibility to prepare surprises for someone, and the most important... well, I have already said it, until now Before standing, sitting is boring."
"It's just that I don't have a hobby of setting fires when I'm bored. This...well, isn't it something you want to do when you visit quietly? It's good to experience it."
Salamander's chest rose and fell sharply, and his body froze as he greedily tried to grab the meager air, probably wondering why he knew.
"Oh, of course, there is another reason."
In the last carriage, facing Salamander's bewildered gaze, Qianmu suddenly stretched out his right index finger, and his fingertips were all submerged in the center of the raging fire beside him.
The extremely high temperature of the fire core should have burned his white fingers to black, but it was still the same as before, his hands were intact and there was no change.
Qian Mu tilted his head to look at him, smiled and said a word.
"—Because you are dreaming."
……
"…………What?!!"
Salamander woke up with a start.
He also stayed in the compartment where the red-haired man was found.
The cloak wrapped the body, except for the sharp pain in the temple, there was no pain from the fire on the body, the interior of the carriage was clean, and there were no traces of being submerged in the sea of fire.
The moment he woke up, he understood that he had been forced to close his eyes a long time ago, and his consciousness fell into a dream.
He was terrified in his heart, and he didn't understand the red-haired man's extravagant actions - did he want him to repeatedly experience the pain from hope to despair?The man succeeded.
Even if the ability is not suppressed, the proud wizard is still no match for this man, and he can't even resist.
Under the crush of absolute power, the so-called "resistance" is just a canoe that can't be seen clearly in the vast ocean. It capsized in the waves before the storm came.
"The chartered train is still public property, although it is not unaffordable-but, um, it is not good to destroy it casually."
Salamander: "?"
He asked with eyes that were a little more blank than normal confusion, is this reason serious?
Qian Mu nodded: "That's it, otherwise? At least I am an enthusiastic and good citizen who can receive a reward certificate from a certain police officer."
Good citizens will not destroy public property for the sake of games. Such immoral behavior can only be done by fake, extrajudicial lunatics and police officers.
Salamander: "..."
"Come back now, and... well, 1 minute."
Qian Mu paused thoughtfully, looking at the seconds displayed on the watch, at a certain moment he tied back the untied chain.
Salamander could clearly feel that his ability was suppressed again.
It's just that until now, it doesn't make any difference to him whether to suppress or not...
"There are still 40 seconds until the end, a little perseverance."
Qian Mu said that it is not a good habit to give up halfway. Don't give up lightly for a dignified killer and wizard. There is still salvation: "If you can't use magic, you can't do it?"
He spoke sincerely, and the suggestions he gave were quite reasonable, but Salamander's blank face twitched violently, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"I'm a wizard...not a rude warrior!"
"Hey? Don't mages know how to fight in melee? According to my experience, the strongest mages are basically good at ending battles in simple and rude ways. What kind of mages are those who can't melee?"
"........."
"Okay, just kidding, isn't the time being passed by you soon, what a cunning player."
--boom!boom!boom!
Hearing three consecutive gunshots, Salamander reflexively wanted to use magic to resist it, but the magic didn't work... He was, well, safe and sound?
Qian Mu moved towards the gun with his left hand, and dropped the gun to the ground.
The direction of his shots had nothing to do with Salamander. One shot hit the right window, one shot penetrated the left front seat, and the last shot was aimed at the roof of the car, and he pressed the trigger randomly.
Salamander was dumbfounded.
It doesn't matter, he is just a tool man and he doesn't need to force himself to understand.
"It's a little short of something..."
Qian Mu thought for a while.
Salamander watched helplessly as he took off his uncluttered windbreaker and hung it on the back of a nearby chair.
Then, he looked at him with a gentle smile that could only be described.
"The last 20 seconds."
"The scope is limited to this carriage."
"I'll chase, you run away, you can use any means to resist, the compensation for destroying public property... Haha, of course I will bear it, it's a very good treatment."
"Believe in yourself, if the pressure is in place, you will be stimulated to the potential of a melee mage?"
"By the way, for your own good, don't get so excited that you step on the wrong foot and run out of range."
Salamander: "..."
This is not a kind rule supplement.
It was clearly—the devil's whisper! ! !
……
20 seconds later.
The scene of the crime... No, obviously, the scene where the good citizens were filled with righteous indignation against the terrorists who tried to set fire to the train.
Ignore the mess caused by slightly excessive defense.
The terrorist lost consciousness and his soul floated out, leaving his body perfectly embedded in the ceiling, ensuring that he could sleep peacefully in this position until the train reached the terminal station.
"Hey, I'm getting old, I haven't done strenuous exercise for a long time, and suddenly I have to stand up for social security, I'm still a little tired."
The health-preserving enthusiast who claimed to be a lack of exercise for the elderly chanted, and dragged his self-proclaimed tired body to put on the windbreaker again. His hair was not messed up, his forehead was refreshed, and he didn't sweat a drop.
Looking at the results of his hard work, Qian Mu tapped his fist and looked serious: "Officer Jianggu, you owe me two commendation certificates for being a good citizen. I don't know why you don't give them? It's okay, I'll remember it for you. I'll ask you later."
The car has not arrived at the station yet, and it is still far away from the terminal.
But the driverless train stopped halfway.
"Ah Yuan, I sent you the location of Police Officer Maoyan!"
"Thanks for your hard work, you idiot...I didn't get laughed at by him, I've made progress."
"Officer Maoyan has worked so hard, so I can't blame him! I think I think——hmm! It's all the fault of your little brother, Ah Yuan! He's so unreliable, that's why Officer Maoyan got hurt!"
"I agree with that. However, from a certain point of view, Brandy is a...talent far beyond my imagination."
The BOSS called out to find the treasure.
The subordinate of this subordinate, code-named Brandy, is a genius who can't even update the script of the main story in real time and can't keep up with the rhythm.
"Talent" is underestimated. With only one night of legendary operation, Brandy was successfully promoted to a genius who shocked the mastermind behind the scenes and the script together.
Although I'm a little sorry for Gin, this one-in-a-million genius cannot die under his gun. He should make more use of it to add bricks and tiles to the bright future of the boss leading people to run away and save water.
Brandy once again saved his own life without his knowledge, and was appreciated by the BOSS for his strength.
If he knew, he would have burst into tears and threw himself at the feet of the BOSS immediately, vowing to live and die with the organization in black. It would be best if he didn't die.
I won't say much about the fact that there are BOSS friends in the undercover agent. Brandy's wish to write in blood alone is doomed not to come true.
The BOSS is going to get out of the car now, to catch the unlucky little friend who was abducted by his capable subordinate No. [-] and turned into a comedian.
Qian Mu walked 100 meters along the track and found someone not far from the track.
After connecting with Dai Da No. [-], Zhu Fu Jingguang insisted that he was fine and just take it easy, and only focused on emphasizing the lessons he wrote with blood and tears to Dai Da No. [-]:
"Be careful... Brandy! Be careful... Be careful of that man! He's—very out of his mind!"
"Huh? I've partnered with Brandy before, and it felt like..."
"No!!! It's not the same, it's not the same as before! Be sure to stay away from him! Otherwise, you will lose important...very important things!!!"
"……it is good."
Akai-kun was silent for a moment, expressing that he would definitely remember it in his heart.
Zhu Fu Jingguang watched as the No. [-] relay put on his friend's vest and rushed towards the unknown adventure. He slowed down, got up with amazing perseverance, and tried to hide in a safe place.
Perhaps because of the cold and dark sky, he didn't realize that the back of his head was broken, and a lot of blood had already flowed out.
You should ask for help, but you can't contact Ling, nor can you contact Qianmu. The people from the Black Organization are still nearby, and this place is very dangerous.
Zhu Fu Jingguang's first reaction is always to hold on.
When he stopped and fell down, he didn't know.
He has only a particularly vague impression:
He didn't fall into the snow, it seemed that someone caught him.
The embrace melts the ice and snow, and has a warmth that makes people smile uncontrollably.
"Zhu Fu..."
The man was vaguely saying something.
"White……"
——Zhu Fu Jingguang, don't need to emphasize it again and again, I know you are all idiots.
Qian Mu carried the idiot friend back to the train.
After returning to them, the train restarted under Agu's remote control. After that, there will be no temporary stops and it will go straight to Tokyo.
A few times, the idiot's smashed head was covered with good medicine, and several layers of gauze were wrapped around the nose, and the very speechless BOSS gave the idiot an injection so that he could sleep in Tokyo.
When he opened his eyes again, Officer Zhu Fu would lie on the floor of a certain Japanese-style mansion, surrounded by two other idiots.
Of course, the only person who can successfully leave the train compartment is the police officer Zhu Fu.
Salamander is here to stay.
——Until he was discovered by a busy man who rushed over after receiving a text message from the missing boy.
Qian Mu still has to get involved in the main story, and will not go back to Tokyo with them.
Before getting out of the car, he stuffed the gun he had thrown away into the sleepy mummy's hand, leaving fingerprints on it before throwing it away again. Police officer Jianggu's eyesight is not bad anyway, and he can see it even if he drops it in a corner... Forget it, in case If he suddenly becomes lame, why can't he see?
Qian Mu left a note and pasted it in the most conspicuous place - on Salamander's forehead.
[A gift for Police Officer Jianggu, I hope you like it]
