Chapter 129 Oh, no! 5.5 update 3k
The alley was extremely quiet in the middle of the night, and the air was filled with a biting coldness. A conspicuous white line extended from the heels of everyone, covering an area of one kilometer in radius, serving as the venue for an event or competition.
In the darkness of the night, the three parties near the white line were quietly waiting for the sound of gunfire.
In the team on the left, the woman who was leading the team looked at the freckled boy who arrived last, frowned slightly and said, "Que, why are you late tonight?"
The freckled boy scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly: "I went to eat and drink with Uncle Ao and the others, and didn't pay attention to the time."
"O White." The woman looked away, her face cold as ice, with obvious vigilance, "That man is hiding an extremely dangerous secret, stay away from him, Que."
The freckled boy showed a bitter expression, pretending not to hear?
What is a woman? He picked up the "mother" who raised him, and Owett was the "father" who provided him with a job to make money and taught him how to coexist with the outside world in the desert. No matter which one of them was angry, it would be difficult to deal with him.
He changed the subject, "The old leader of District 2 is critically ill, and the three surrounding districts are eyeing him covetously. Can our competition to select the next leader, which is like a family game, really convince the residents of District 2 and the people of the other three districts? Obviously, everyone lives in the same place, and even if they are so familiar with each other, they can't fight each other..."
"Don't worry about Uncle Niu. Although he is also a contestant, considering his age, he is probably just here for the sake of formality. As for the other gang? Hey..." The woman's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The old leader is still alive, but he gave his gang a new name and couldn't wait to kick out the old leader and take his place. Tell me, how can such a person be worthy of--"
The freckled boy opened his mouth, then closed it again, looking a little conflicted. At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became dangerous.
"Let's start. According to the original plan, we will chase after Shi Gou's gang and beat them up. Let's go!"
Teammates behind me: "Oh my, big sister? Awesome!"
The freckled boy scratched his cheek, but still pulled out his gun and followed the main force.
Suddenly, a sweet smell came with the night breeze, which made him a little confused.
"Sweet... How come this spot tastes like cake?"
Someone called him from the front, and the freckled boy hurriedly chased after him.
At the same time, a group of people at the end of the northern passage were also walking quickly towards the red flag in the middle of the white circle. The man in the lead said, "The Wulingyan will definitely attack us first. We will split into two groups. I will lead the team to lead them away, and the rest will be led by Awu to grab the red flag. The old leader has angered the public, and the leaders of other districts will not allow the organization he leads to continue to exist. If we don't make a decision, we will suffer the consequences. The two districts cannot be divided, so we might as well start over from the beginning."
"Master Niu understands the truth and will not easily take sides. He came to this game to see the abilities of the younger generation. As for Sister Wu, she is the biological daughter of the old leader. I'm afraid she has a lot of things hidden in her hands..."
Following? Awu, who was beside Shi Ze, frowned. This competition was extremely disadvantageous to them. The selection process, which seemed like a joke, was the only way to make all parties temporarily withdraw their fangs.
At this moment, Shi Ze suddenly reached out to stop him, and looked around vigilantly, "There is movement..."
The younger brother behind him suddenly said, "Boss, has there been such a sign here before?"
"What?"
Shi Ze looked in the direction pointed by his younger brother, and saw a sign stuck on the ground in front of him on the left, with four crooked characters "Home for Amnesia" written on it.
He was familiar with every floor tile and every wall here, but he had never seen such a sign here.
...At least he had never seen it before tonight's game.
so,
"Beware! There's an ambush!"
As soon as Shi Ze finished speaking, a dark red light fell from above, and with a sharp whistling sound, it deeply embedded itself into the ground in front of him, creating countless cracks.
"At night? Okay~"
Shi Ze's pupils shrank, and he was caught off guard by a pair of scarlet eyes. The young man who was smashed down with the dark red long stick was half-crouching on top of the stick, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and he didn't look threatening at all.
But the next second, there was a sudden sound of breaking air, and Shi Ze instinctively took out his long knife to block it. The sound of metal collision made his head and skin numb, and his wrist also felt numb and painful.
Too much strength... Is this a monster?
Shi Ze took a few steps back and shook his hands.
The boy a few steps away jumped down from the top of the stick, pulled out his weapon and held it on his shoulder, smiling and making a gesture to continue.
Shi Ze's face was solemn. The other party was obviously not from Wu Lingyan's side, and Master Niu would not hire a superpower to deal with him... So either he was sent from another district, or he was just... drunk and crazy.
How many? The boy burped again.
The strong smell of alcohol made Shi Ze's expression even gloomier and uglier. He raised his hand to signal Awu to lead the team to leave and shoot the red flag first, then he raised his gun and pulled the trigger without mercy.
Bullets poured out, but were bounced back one by one.
"Me? I told you! Fighting like this is exciting! You should exercise at night. Life is short and sleeping is a waste of time!"
Chu Xiuyan, who was in high spirits, said this, and used a long stick made of blood crystal to hit the last incoming bullet back far away. It passed over the cheek of the man opposite and flew backwards, breaking the glass of an empty house.
Shi Ze wiped the blood off his cheek and said, "You are a person with special abilities, and a strange face... an outsider. What is your purpose in participating in the District 2 Trials?"
He still couldn't believe that this was just a drunken act.
Chu Xiuyan did not respond. He stepped heavily on the ground, and the floor tiles shattered directly. A few stones of the right size became the next weapon.
Shi Ze let out a light click of his tongue and raised his hand to signal his men to disperse and dodge.
Then, in his field of vision, there were dozens of rocks whistling towards him...their power was no less than that of bullets.
...So it's to pay back for those few? Bullets?
One after another, the pitch-black stones passed by Shi Ze, cut through the night sky, disappeared into the darkness, and smashed far into a higher place.
......
"What happened there?"
As the elevator slowly ascended, the noise below became more and more intense, as if a large-scale battle was going on.
Cui Zhiyong frowned, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He suspected that the Lower Town might have encountered some big troubles during the time he was away from the kingdom.
"It's a show."
The young man in military uniform standing near the elevator door put his hands behind his back, stood upright, and said in a serious tone: "The old leader of District 2 secretly transported supplies to the resistance army, and was discovered by the higher-ups. They suspected that there were many suspicious people in District 2, so they prepared to carry out a large-scale purge, but were dissuaded by the leaders of the other three districts. They used various means to let the higher-ups assign them the task of finding suspicious people, but in fact, they wanted to split District 2. Later, the old leader of District 2 was critically ill, and according to the rules of the Lower City District, the next successor needed to be selected in time. So the two factions headed by Wu Lingyan and Shi Ze jointly applied to the person in charge of the Lower City District for an area to carry out military selection. The person in charge approved their application because..."
call out!
A black shadow came from a distance and flew straight towards the elevator.
The young man in military uniform calmly turned his head to avoid the stone that smashed through the elevator glass, and continued with the previous words: "Because the person in charge was bribed by multiple forces, Wu Lingyan and Shi Ze are one side, the leader of District 1 is one side, and there is another side hiding in the dark, whose true identity cannot be determined. And it was the last side that subtly intimidated the other forces and prevented them from arbitrarily interfering in the successor selection stage of District 2. In other words, as long as District 2 fails to select the next successor, the other districts and even the top leaders will not easily take action against District 2."
After a long while, there was still no sound behind me.
The young man in military uniform turned his head? and saw that the target of his mission was lying face up? in the elevator, with a stone on his forehead? and blood flowing slowly down his nose and cheeks, with a look of bewilderment on his face.
"Sorry." The young man in military uniform said, "Me? I thought you could get away with it."
"...It's okay. I thought I could dodge it." But at that moment, there seemed to be a mysterious force that forced him to stay where he was, causing the stone to hit him squarely on the forehead.
Cui Zhiyong stood up shakily, wiped the blood off his face, and struggled to keep up with the topic, "How come I have never heard of such a powerful hidden force in District 2?"
"You have seen it, Bishop." The tone of the young man in military uniform was still calm. "It is not only in District 2, but also spread throughout the entire Lower City and even the Central City. Some of them are blacksmiths, some are restaurant owners, some may be mothers raising young children at home, and some may be drunkards hanging out in the alleys... They are called the people's hearts. The people in the Lower City of the kingdom are tired of the environment of not seeing the sun all day long, the narrow and cramped living space without personal privacy, the cold and darkness have corroded their hearts, and infected them with tyranny and madness. War is a major outlet for catharsis, for territory, and to divert conflicts. And for the upper echelons and the royal family, all the waiting, endurance and sacrifice are to pull the evil god who is high above and overlooking the world into the world, turning him into a loyal and selfless slave of the kingdom, and seeing him as an unstoppable and invincible spear."
Cui Zhiyong curled his lips: "Me? I only saw the greed and ambition of the kingdom, twisting everything into this deformed reality."
"You are right, Your Excellency the Bishop. That is why you should not come back. This deformed and distorted order has maintained a balance for many years. A slight mistake will destroy everything. Therefore, Your Excellency the Bishop, you will die here."
Cui Zhiyong was about to say something when another stone hit him on the bridge of his nose, causing two lines of blood to flow out of his nose.
He covered his nose, his head? The dizzy feeling was surprisingly familiar, and he said: "I? Suspect that someone in the battle field over in Area 2 is? Targeting me?."
"It should just be an accident."
The young man in military uniform turned around and said, but when he turned around again, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the dark night and was flying towards the elevator at an extremely terrifying speed.
It was a giant stone that was more than two meters high, with a rough and uneven surface, as if it was made up of countless small stones that were forcibly glued together.
In short, it is extremely dangerous.
The young man in military uniform grabbed Cui Zhiyong's shoulder and kicked the glass behind the elevator, then jumped without hesitation.
Cui Zhiyong: “Ahhhhh——”
Young man in military uniform: "This selection has caused quite a stir."
Choi Ji-young: "Me? Do you really suspect that someone over there is planning to murder me? Ah!!"
boom--!
The violent impact of the huge rock directly broke through the elevator and embedded deeply into the wall.
The young man in military uniform landed with Cui Zhiyong, took out a small notebook and began to calculate the repair costs. "We have to send it to the headquarters of the Second District Gang and ask them to pay for it."
Crouching? On the ground? Frowning and thinking, Choi Ji-young is still there? Thinking: "Me? Have I offended anyone in District 2 recently?"
…
boom--
Within the selection area of Area 2, the freckled boy stared at the huge rock deeply embedded in the wall in the distance, and murmured, "Do we have a power-type mutant in Area 2? Or did the rock come in from somewhere? It's weird?"
Wu Lingyan investigated some clues nearby, frowning tightly, "The whole army was wiped out. The team led by Shi Ze should not be underestimated. They were able to kill them all in such a short time. The opponent should be a high-level psychic... Tsk, Shi Ze actually escaped... In short, there are not many psychics in our selection. It is obvious that the opponent is an outsider. However, he acted very measuredly. No one died, but the noise was a bit loud. Temporarily rule out the possibility that they are mercenaries sent by the other three districts. That group of people will not show mercy..."
She paused for a moment, "Why is there a smell of alcohol in the air? Ha, Shi Ze's family? Someone among his subordinates must have been drinking."
The freckled boy smelled the faint scent of cake again. He sniffed and turned his head in the direction of the smell. He saw faint rustling sounds coming from the dark alley on the right.
He walked in cautiously. The smell of cake in the deep alley became stronger and stronger, but there was nothing there. Only two or three rats were startled and jumped off the lid of the trash can and fled madly.
The freckled boy touched his nose and began to wonder if there was something wrong with his sense of smell.
Then he turned his head, and a human face suddenly appeared in front of him, with scarlet eyes that were extremely conspicuous in the darkness.
The freckled boy's heart skipped a beat and he screamed, "Ghost!!"
Chu Xiuyan, who was crawling on the wall like a spider, was stunned: "Ghost? What ghost? Where is the ghost? You look familiar... Forget it, I'll fight first."
Freckled boy: "Help! A ghost is attacking me——"
"What happened?" Wu Lingyan led her subordinates into the alley and saw a red-eyed boy with his hands and feet spread out and sticking to the wall, behaving strangely. The childhood shadow story told to her by the old leader instantly emerged in her mind. She said coldly: "So that's how it is. Is the superpower behind the scenes able to create nightmares? Come on, I will overcome fear!"
Chu Xiuyan: "?You guys seem to be?talking about something very new that I?don't understand."
He didn't understand, he was horrified, he rushed forward and defeated his opponent with fear.
The screams continued.
The old man who was always at the eastern end was drinking tea leisurely, listening to the screams echoing in the night sky, and said with emotion: "Young people are full of energy and strong, and old people should not join in the fun. Come on, old friend, play a game of chess with me."
A handsome old man with gray hair but a good temperament glanced at the man below and said, "Did you say you wanted to take the position of leader from Old Wu?"
The old man said slowly, "I'm old, old. Now is the time for young people. Besides, at my age, what can I use to compete with the younger generation? Isn't it shameful? Besides, there is no movement from O'White, so I'd better retire and drink tea."
A handsome old man standing there? He snorted coldly, but still sat down and played a game of chess with his friend.
The screams and wails echoed throughout the night, keeping the surrounding residents awake. In the early morning, some of them formed an angry team and went to the headquarters of the District 2 gang to settle accounts.
at the same time.
When the clock pointed to eight o'clock in the afternoon, the members of the collection team who had been searching outside all night finally found the freckled boy and his new companion who was carried on his back.
"Why is your face so swollen? Did you fight with someone last night?"
A buzz cut? The first thing the young man saw was a bruised and swollen freckled boy. His clothes were also tattered. It didn't look like a one-on-one fight, but more like a group fight.
The freckled boy had a complicated expression. He listened to the steady breathing of the culprit in his sleep and said with difficulty: "It's a long story, and I don't really want to talk about it."
"...That's fine, you just need to hold it. Remember to apply the medicine when you get home."
The young man with a crew cut turned his gaze to the new companion behind the freckled boy, and changed his words, saying in surprise: "Que, did you pick up the wrong one? The boy we brought back yesterday had a black and white yin-yang hair style, but the one on your back is pure white! And it has curly hair!"
The freckled boy's voice seemed to be a little choked up, "Because I saw him knocking on the door of the barber shop at six in the morning, forcibly pulling Uncle Wu out of bed to help him dye and perm his hair." And he dragged him to get a haircut after beating him and his companions.
It seemed that the conversation had woken someone up. He opened his eyes dazedly, smiled at the young man with a buzz cut, and waved happily, "Morning? Good morning."
Then he nodded his head and fell asleep again.
The buzz cut guy who just raised his hand to wave? Young man: "...Um, this guy seems to have blue eyes? The guy we met yesterday didn't have black eyes? Are you sure?"
The freckled boy continued to sob, "After he heard that Uncle Wu was a person with the ability to change his eye color, he pestered him for? Colored contact lenses..."
Young man with a buzz cut: "...Okay, thank you for your hard work. Uncle Ao is not awake yet, and my home is empty. Why don't you go back to my home and rest there first?"
Freckled boy: "You're not going home?"
A buzz cut? Young man: "Wasn't there a selection contest for the successor of the Second District last night? I listened all night and found that the commotion was quite loud. Although they had given notice in advance, the extent of the commotion was really a bit excessive. A lot of the walls were demolished. So I guess there should be many residents who will go to the headquarters to ask for an explanation. I will go to join in the fun."
The freckled boy forced a smile and said, "Then go ahead. We'll go to your house for a while."
A crew cut? The young man nodded? Then he happily followed the crowd to the center of Area 2.
The freckled boy felt his mouth dry, and walked towards the young man with a buzz cut, his head lowered. Along the way, he heard various rumors that spread quickly.
"I heard that the old leader is dying because he violated a taboo, and the next generation is unable to take on the responsibility. So the mysterious strong man who usually disguises himself as an ordinary person in District 2 suddenly descended from the sky and broke the stagnant water with a bang! Look at the big stone embedded in the wall, it is the manifestation of the strong man's strength!"
"It is said that the reason why there was such a big commotion last night was to tell those families who are eyeing District 2 covetously? Man, our next one is very powerful and awesome!"
"So now? The leader of District Two has changed? What is his identity?"
"It should have been changed. It seems that the door plaque at the headquarters is still there? It was removed... But no one knows what the new leader looks like? All we know is that he is a terrifying person like a spider."
"…Why a spider?"
"By the way, is the new gang still the same name as before?"
"No, now? There's a new one called something like... [The Amnesiac House?]."
…
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
O'White sat up suddenly, his eyelids slowly opened, he shook his head, and with a hangover head, he stood up and opened the door that was knocking frantically, and faced a bruised head with an extremely anxious expression.
O'White sobered up instantly, frowned and looked at him for a long time before recognizing him, "Ah Qing? Aren't you the old turtle's subordinate? Who in District 2 dares to beat you like this?"
"This is a long story, it's not important?... No, it's also important?! Damn it!"
Ah Qing slapped his head and said hurriedly, "Uncle Ao, you also know that last night was originally a competition between Sister Wu and Brother Shi for the next leader. According to the plan of you and Boss Wu, the game last night should not have been decided at all. As a result, a man broke in at the beginning, indiscriminately... Well, it seems that I can't describe it this way, but it's almost the same. Anyway, that guy beat up more than a hundred people, and even beat Master Niu in chess, and got his recognition! The position of the leader of that guy is set. Sister Wu and Brother Shi went back to the headquarters and closed the door to discuss for two hours. As soon as they came out, they sent people to remove the plaque of the headquarters and replace it with the name of the new leader's organization, and then let a group of people carry the old leader out of the headquarters on a stretcher... They want to throw the old leader out directly! Uncle Ao, you have to save Master Wu!"
O White was so angry that his head ached. "...Those bastards! I'm going to find them. Can you help me keep an eye on that black-and-white-haired kid in the house? Don't let him run around. I'll come back and tell him something."
Ah Qing: "Okay Uncle Ao!"
O'White squeezed out of the door and hurried to the headquarters, while Ah Qing poked his head into the room and saw four or five people lying on the ground, none of them had black and white hair.
He suspected that he had seen it wrong, and counted again, but still did not find the obvious feature.
Ah Qing scratched his head, held onto the door frame, looked inside the room, and then looked outside in the direction where Ao White had left. He hesitated and said, "Well, there doesn't seem to be any black and white heads in the room? Ah, wait, black and white heads?..."
Black and white, black and white…
Holy shit! Isn't that the mysterious guy they all beat up last night? Guy?!
Ah Qing's eyes widened and finally he ran in the direction where Ao White had left in fear.
“Uncle Ao! Uncle Ao! That’s not right! The new leader has black and white hair? It’s black and white! Uncle Ao! Who on earth is that—”
At the same time.
Not far from the Kingdom Fortress, an off-road vehicle was approaching silently.
There were two people in the car.
Zhang Chun glanced at the map, then at the huge monster in the distance, "This is it. In half an hour, a group of collection teams will go out and the entrance and exit will be opened. That will be our chance to sneak in."
Wan Mingxu nodded, "Okay, I understand."
