Bef...
Chapter 138 Who would want this gray fog to exist?
Be quiet, hold your breath, breathe slowly, be calm...
Wearing the dark cloak of the Hidden Lantern Society, Luo Luo stood outside the window, leaning forward slightly, and cautiously peeking at the situation inside the house through the gap in the curtains.
The fingers pressing against the rough wall were pale and trembling, revealing his nervous and anxious mood.
"Hey! What are you doing here??"
A low, rapid voice suddenly came from the side.
"Que? What's wrong with you?... Hush, keep your voice down." Luo Luo couldn't believe that his good friend Que, who was supposed to be staying at the Wu Family Gang headquarters, would appear here, even dressed up as a member of the Hidden Lantern Society. But he didn't have time to think too much at this moment, and subconsciously said, "Some of our companions were captured by the monsters in the fog, and we are planning to rescue them."
"We?" The freckled boy lowered his voice again, shaking his head left and right to observe the surrounding situation, "Is Uncle Ao here? I don't smell him. I know you had a fight before. Did you take him with you this time? Luo Luo, this is very dangerous..."
"Que!" Luo Luo interrupted him, stubbornly refusing to listen to his advice, and said unhappily: "If you are not here to help us, then? Shut up and don't make trouble."
The sparrow hesitated to speak.
Luo Luo quickly noticed that there was a faint white light flashing twice in front of him on the left, which was a signal for action.
He pulled out two pistols from under his cloak, took a deep breath, and climbed in through the window.
Then, five subtle whooshing sounds were heard in succession. Que, who was squatting outside the window, squinted his eyes and noticed that in the gray fog, there were many figures sneaking into the house from various corners.
He estimated the number and found out with a headache that the Hidden Light Society really had a rift with Uncle Ao. There were only about a dozen combat-capable people in the Hidden Light Society, and the action in front of him accounted for half of them.
Just when I was feeling bored, the house in front of me suddenly exploded, and countless broken stones and iron fragments flew in all directions.
Que squatted on the ground, his pupils constricted as he reflected a terrifying three-meter-tall humanoid monster in the broken house. Wisps of mist were wandering throughout the house, and hideous and strange gray armor appeared on its body. When the pair of scarlet eyes looked over, his head began to ache violently, and strange and vague memories suddenly hit him, almost making him tremble all over, unable to move at all.
The dense fog around was blown away by a strong airflow, and the five figures that sneaked into the house were also dispersed. They gritted their teeth in the air and aimed their rope guns at the humanoid monster still standing in the house, and then fired fiercely.
Five ropes bound the humanoid monster in place, and then? Bullets poured down from the sky.
Another group of cloaked men quietly came to the corner of the broken house, helped to untie their trapped companions, and then quickly evacuated the center of the battlefield. They even tried to run in the direction of Que to help, but the monster began to struggle, and they could only shout loudly for Que to run away quickly.
The thick fog was filled with dust and smoke, making it impossible to see the specific situation clearly.
I could only vaguely see the huge monster, which was torn into pieces by bullets, and turned into wisps of gray mist and dissipated in the blink of an eye.
The members of the Hidden Lantern Society who were holding guns and fighting shouted loudly. Luo Luo, who was also thrown onto an iron box by the airflow, raised his double guns happily, smiled happily at his friend, and shouted: "Que! Look, even without O'White, we can still win!"
However, immersed in his victory, he could not see his friend's increasingly horrified expression.
"No, that's not right..."
Que was closest to the broken house, and he could clearly sense that the fog around him was gathering in the same direction, as if it was about to condense something.
“Run—”
The bird screamed loudly with all its might.
The next second, a three-meter-tall humanoid monster appeared in front of everyone, with bloodshot eyes and no signs of damage on its grey armor, still emitting a terrifying aura that made people shudder.
The most terrifying thing is, behind it? There is? A second and a third identical humanoid monster.
They headed towards the three directions of the Hidden Lantern Society members, and then? Pretended to run and attack.
But at this moment, another group of cloaked people appeared from the fog. One group used supernatural powers and guns to attract the attention of the three-headed monster, and another group signaled the others to follow them.
Luo Luo, who was still stunned on the iron box, was grabbed by the shoulder by a strange cloaked man and dragged away.
"Wait, you are—"
Luo Luo's eyes suddenly turned horrified.
Que, who was in the most dangerous area, was still unable to get rid of fear. The nearest gray fog monster was less than half a meter away, and the pair of scarlet eyes seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"bird!"
A familiar voice sounded in my ears? A tall, cloaked man wearing a gray mask helped the boy up? But he found that the boy was in a very bad condition and even had difficulty walking. He simply carried him on his shoulders and evacuated.
After moving away for a distance, he sent out a signal, indicating that his companions who had attracted the monster's attention could also retreat.
"Ao...Uncle Ao."
Owett heard the bird on his shoulder sobbing, "That monster is wrong... I saw a battle."
"Uncle Ao, that's not normal... How can a human being be resurrected without a heart? When the heart reconstructed by blood crystals beats, is it blood that circulates throughout the body... or liquid blood crystals?"
The boy's face was full of tears. He asked in fear and confusion: "I don't understand, Uncle Ao..."
Owett was silent for a while, then said, "Don't think about it for now. You are a little tired. Take a rest."
Que: “…Okay.”
Five minutes later?
Being forcibly dragged away and hiding in an empty house? Rollo finally waited for Owette.
He had a lot of questions to ask, but the first thing he saw was his friend who seemed to be unconscious on O'White's shoulder. He asked anxiously, "What happened to Que? Is he injured? Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have pulled him away first before attacking the monster..."
"Que is a little tired, don't disturb him recently." O'White took off his cloak and put it on the ground, then gently laid Que flat on the cloak.
"Are you scared?"
Rollo scratched his hair.
The mysterious cloaked man who had forcibly taken him away from behind slapped him on the back of his head and cursed in a low voice: "I've told you so many times not to take a bird to a dangerous place, you little brat, do you think everyone is as brave as you? Do you dare to stab the sky?"
"Mom, you still have this? You're an outsider, you should pretend you don't know me!"
Rollo said anxiously.
In an empty room? The rest of the cloaked men looked at the ceiling and the floor, pretending that they hadn't heard anything.
At this time, rumbling footsteps sounded outside? It was the three-meter-tall humanoid monster approaching, and wisps of gray mist drifted away, bringing with it a terrifying chill.
Luo Luo lowered his voice and said anxiously: "O White! The monster is coming. Do you have enough weapons? We should run!"
His mother slapped him again, "Why are you running? You didn't do anything? You don't have a brain and acted on your own, right? And? You should call him Uncle Ao or? Grandpa Ao."
Luo Luo held his head with a grin and turned away from his mother.
Owed stood by the window, watching the humanoid monster not far away getting closer and closer, and finally? It stopped outside the house where they were hiding, then bent down and looked at Owed in the room through the thin window.
Everyone in the room held their breath. Luo Luo was particularly terrified and even pulled out his gun... and then it was snatched away by his mother.
However, the monster outside the house did not attack the house. It swept its red eyes around the house as if it was counting the number of people. Then it stood up and walked through the house into the increasingly thick gray fog.
Owett knocked on the windowsill and said, "That's it. The monsters in the fog will only attack people outside and lock them all in the house. They won't attack people inside. This news should have spread."
Luo Luo opened his mouth. He seemed to be busy rescuing his companions and fighting monsters together, so he didn't pay much attention to other signals, but...but how could this be possible? So many terrifying monsters acting on a large scale just to catch people outside and bring them into the house? ? !
What's the point?!
Doesn't this mean that he acted rashly without thinking?!
As if he could see that he was in the process of collapse, Owette slowly stabbed him in the heart again: "If you look carefully, you should be able to find that the houses where people live have not been damaged in any way."
Rollo fell into autism.
And this brainless reaction also shows one thing, the person behind the scenes who instigated the Hidden Light Society to riot was not Luo Luo.
This boy can only be regarded as a gun, the real shooter is someone else.
While thinking, Owyte suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Boom boom boom."
He grabbed the gun in an instant, and even Rollo got the gun that was taken away by his own mother.
Three seconds later? , a voice came from outside the door? .
"It's me."
It was Zhang Chun who had been separated for three hours.
"You can come right in." O'White walked over and opened the door.
"But when people are on high alert and suddenly find that there are other people, their first reaction is definitely not a warm greeting like "Hey, long time no see"."
Zhang Chun walked into the house with a blank expression. Behind him was a large group of fog wolves that were ready to attack but seemed to be afraid to step forward.
Luo Luo asked boldly: "Why didn't the wolves attack you?"
Zhang Chun glanced at him and said, "Because there are people who dare not."
Rollo, did you? Got it.
O'White sighed, "Just to get into the upper city quickly? To make such a big scene? Too..."
Zhang Chun wiped the blood off his hands and said calmly, "It's really fast. I have already convinced the leaders of the other three districts. It is estimated that in an hour, the leaders of the four major districts will try to contact you. Take all the weapons, treasures, and manpower. Then, at eleven o'clock, take their people and money, put on cloaks, and go to the entrance of the passage to block the Knights."
Owett frowned, "Congested again?"
Zhang Chun didn't? He said angrily, "Keep blocking them. I wish I could block them forever, that way I can save some energy."
He looked up at the people in the room and asked O'White, "What's going on over there?"
"I'm going to find the troublemaker to confirm the situation."
"Then??"
"What a bunch of idiots." O'White sighed.
"Very good." Zhang Chun felt relieved, which meant that the Hidden Lantern Society could still be their own force.
"Fool" Luo Luo looked around at the people around him, his face full of confusion: "Ah? What? What do you mean?"
O'White didn't say anything, he just looked at Zhang Chun a few more times, then looked away and fell into the gray fog outside the window.
…
“Oh no!”
In prison? The captain of the guards, who was standing outside the cell and looking coldly at the white-haired boy, received bad news again.
This time, the subordinate who came to deliver the message didn't even lower his voice, "The fourth knight in charge of escorting, Chang Baiqiu, is blocked at the entrance again!"
The guard captain's eyelids twitched, and the white-haired boy in front of him suddenly shouted: "Oh oh oh, you blinked first! You lost! I won! Let me draw a turtle on your face--"
The captain of the guard raised his hand and pressed it directly against the chest of the boy in front of him, preventing him from taking another step forward. Then he turned around and asked his subordinates, "Has the boulder not been completely cleared yet?"
"That's not the case..." The subordinate's expression was particularly complicated. "Although Captain Bai Qiu has cleared the boulders, there are nearly a hundred armed Hidden Lantern Society members blocking them on the other side of the passage."
A chill suddenly appeared on the guard captain's face, and the white-haired boy successfully drew a mark on his face with a black pen.
He gritted his teeth and ignored the other party, and continued to ask his subordinates: "The Hidden Light will attack the Knights? How dare they? Aren't they afraid of causing a large-scale melee?!"
The subordinate continued to sigh and said with a strange expression: "No? No?, the Hidden Light Society used weapons to attack the monsters in the gray fog, and the reason why Captain Bai Qiu was blocked was because the Hidden Light Society took out two large boxes of gold, silver and blood crystal beads and asked him to count them at the entrance of the passage before he could enter the lower city."
“…”
The captain of the guard paused, and even Chu Xiuyan, who was making trouble nearby, was attracted and asked curiously: "What? Captain Bai, are you really counting money at the entrance of the passage?"
The subordinate closed his eyes in pain, "Yes, he counted it. The Hidden Light Society also moved a table and chairs so that he could count the money comfortably."
Chu Xiuyan's eyes widened. No? He held back his laughter and said, "You guys are so funny, hahahahaha!"
The captain of the guard managed to squeeze out a sentence: "It should be pretty fast after counting the two boxes, go and urge them."
The subordinate said again: "The problem is? Here, I saw that the Hidden Lantern Society had?... Four more boxes in their hands."
Chu Xiuyan laughed loudly again: "Hahahahahaha!"
He managed to hold back his laughter, pinching his chin while thinking and laughing, "I seem to know what Uncle is thinking. He doesn't plan to come to jailbreak, and he is busy running around, and it seems that he doesn't want to play with me. But, he also found ways to block the NPC outside the dungeon, trapping me in the first level and unable to get out. What does this mean?"
The captain of the guard said expressionlessly, with a black line across his forehead, "He thinks you're in the way."
Chu Xiuyan excitedly waved his hand and slapped the guard captain's cold armor, saying excitedly: "He is playing a competitive game with me!"
He no longer paid attention to the captain's expression and said to himself, "I'm going to go out and look for that thing? Captain Bai... By the way, in your prison? Can you hold a hundred people?"
The captain of the guard thought that his ancestors could finally leave, and he immediately felt relieved and his temper improved a lot. He said, "It's okay if we squeeze in."
Chu Xiuyan snapped his fingers, "Perfect, I'm going to fold my wings!"
System: [I guess you mean right-hand man, left-hand man, which means capable and capable person.]
Chu Xiuyan rubbed his hands and said: [Almost? Almost? I'm going!]
The captain of the guard stopped him and said, "Since you have achieved your goal, why don't you remove the gray fog from the lower city?"
Chu Xiuyan nodded at him, smiling brightly as if there was no trace of haze, "Of course, as long as no one wants this gray fog to continue to exist, I will disperse it when I enter the upper city."
