Chapter 20 Angel



◎What's wrong with this girl◎

There were about seven or eight people outside, less than three meters away from the villa. They were pointing at the villa and saying something, but they were all laughing.

Shangguan Yu was observing near the window. He pursed his lips, looked outside carefully without saying a word, with a serious expression.

"Hey, Shangguan, did you see anything?" Ling Xi poked him with her hand and asked.

Shangguan Yu, his eyes filled with disdain, didn't forget to get down to business. "This group of people set the fire. If there weren't any accelerants, they wouldn't have caught fire all over the place. These people probably don't have fire abilities. If they did, they wouldn't need torches. However, it's not ruled out that they're pretending not to have abilities."

"Then why did they set the fire? Are they bored?"

"You have fire powers. Why don't you go and start a fire after eating?"

“…”

Shangguan Yu choked Tian Yichuan into silence before continuing, "How do you catch a rabbit hiding in a hole? Dive in? Of course not. Wouldn't it be much easier to smoke the rabbit out and then wait at the entrance to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw the people outside split into two groups, one group walked towards the back, as if intending to block the back door as well.

"Even if these people don't have superpowers, they definitely have a trump card. They're definitely not unprepared," Shangguan Yu observed as the people outside pulled out what looked like bottles from their backpacks and gathered around. "But we're in numbers, so we shouldn't be in any trouble."

Although Shangguan Yu hadn't spoken much since then and his presence was extremely low, he had secretly observed the players on Ling Xuting's side and roughly graded everyone's strength.

If the combat effectiveness of his team is C, then Ling Xuting's combat effectiveness is definitely A.

"Creaky..." the door opened.

Ling Xuting took Yan Jue out to reduce unnecessary losses before the group of people set fire.

It's such a pity to set such a nice big villa on fire.

"There really are people," someone on the other side shouted happily, "I was right, there are indeed people coming this way, their backpacks are all stuffed to the brim, they must have a lot of stuff."

As if to seek credit, one of the skinny men patted his chest and said proudly to the person standing in the center.

The person in the front should be their leader. He was carrying a square shoulder bag, which looked like a takeaway box, but a little smaller. You couldn't see what was inside, but it was bulging, so there must be something inside.

There were two men holding torches standing on his left and right. He didn't need to do anything but copy his subordinates' orders.

"There are people living in this villa, please don't set it on fire." Ling Xuting was walking in front. As soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Jue behind him covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

The negotiations didn't sound like negotiations, the threats didn't sound like threats, and he even started with the word "please".

Ling Xuting knew that Yan Jue was smiling, but there was neither embarrassment nor anger on his face. He turned his head somewhat helplessly, glancing at Yan Jue vaguely.

Yan Jue, who was suppressing his laughter, understood what he meant and motioned Ling Xuting to go in first. He walked to the front alone and said, "You must have a purpose for setting fire everywhere. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Of course we want supplies," the man with the torch on the left replied fiercely, "Hand over everything you have."

Yan Jue spoke in a very gentle and negotiating tone, which sounded like a sign of weakness to them.

The nervous guys exchanged glances secretly, their stiff muscles relaxed, and they couldn't help laughing happily.

There are a lot of people in this room, they must have brought a lot of supplies, so the harvest must be good.

"Who the hell are you? You want supplies? I think you're dreaming!" Su Ming walked out of the house aggressively with a chainsaw in his hand, and the decorative necklace hanging around his neck clanged with his movements.

The group of people were frightened by the chainsaw and quickly retreated one meter. Suddenly, someone in the crowd raised a crossbow and aimed at Su Ming's head.

Someone took the lead and others also raised their weapons. Most of them were long-range aiming weapons, including nail guns and bows and arrows.

Su Ming's chainsaw suddenly lost its advantage, and he moved behind Yan Jue, using him as a shield.

"Creaky..." The closed door opened, and the sour sound of metal friction broke the tense atmosphere.

Rong Xiao, who was still wearing headphones, first popped his head out to take a look, then ran briskly towards Yan Jue, chattered something into his ear, then hurried back to the house to play games with his phone in hand.

At the living room window, Shangguan Yu was slapped hard on the back by Ling Xi: "Why did you ask Rong Xiao to go? It's so dangerous!!!"

Shangguan Yu touched the spot where he was hit and frowned, "She's not weak at all, right? It would be dangerous if I go."

Thinking of the scene where Rong Xiao dodged the bullet before, Shangguan Yu really suspected that Rong Xiao had cast some kind of spell on this group of people, making them think that she was weak?

What a joke!

"I'm back," Rong Xiao closed the door, squatted back next to Shangguan Yu and asked, "Is there anything else you need me to convey?"

"Not yet, go play."

"Oh~"

As soon as Rong Xiao left, the stunned group of people looked at each other, until a light laugh reached their ears.

The people closest to Yan Jue felt a chill down their spines, and in a trance they thought that they were the prey, otherwise... how could the man opposite them still be laughing?

Completely surrounded and targeted by long-range weapons, there was no way they could escape.

Could it be a person with super powers?

The leading man had a rough appearance, with eyebrows that were almost connected into a line and growing wildly around his eyebrows like weeds; because he was too thin, the coat he wore shone on his body like a lantern, and would bulge out when the wind blew.

He calmly touched the square bag on his body and smiled like a villain: "You have special powers, right? Whatever special powers you have, they are useless. I advise you to be honest."

Shangguan Yu opened the living room window a crack. He was close enough to hear Yizimei's words clearly, and his attention was inevitably drawn to the square bag.

“Crack…”

Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, the door behind them opened again. Rong Xiao ran out, holding his phone, looking anxious: "Yan Jue, Yan Jue, why is the screen not lighting up? Is it broken?"

Yan Jue ignored the weapons aimed at him, calmly took the phone, checked it, and said with a smile, "It's just out of battery. Go find Lao Wei."

"Oh!" Rong Xiao nodded and was about to leave, but Yizimei suddenly shouted angrily and stopped her.

"Don't you take us seriously?" Yi Zimei had been interrupted twice in a row by Rong Xiao. They were obviously in the middle of a negotiation, but she was like a market girl, appearing every now and then to interrupt their conversation and ruin the tense and exciting atmosphere.

"Ah? Excuse me, are you guys talking about serious matters?" Rong Xiao nodded seriously, his eyes full of apology that didn't seem fake or sarcastic. "Sorry, you guys talk, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Stop!" This was like adding fuel to the fire, and Yizimei shouted angrily.

The smile in Yan Jue's eyes gradually disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes impatiently: "Why are you shouting so loudly?" After saying that, he patted Rong Xiao's shoulder and plugged her headphones back in. "Ignore him, go back and play."

Yimei, who was so angry that he was about to combust, knocked the box twice. When he raised his head, he suddenly felt a flash of cold light in the air, and a chill invaded his neck.

However, the cold object that exuded a sense of danger had not yet touched the skin, and it fell to the ground with a rustle, just like an electrical appliance that suddenly lost power.

He lowered his head with his eyebrows raised, and suddenly felt his neck get even colder.

It was a razor blade with a glowing edge. It looked extremely sharp and had never been used.

The people surrounding Yizimei were so frightened that they fell into silence. After a long while, they suddenly remembered something and shouted, "He can't hit us, don't be afraid!"

The crowd was in an uproar. The man holding the crossbow aimed at Yan Jue and shot an arrow without hesitation.

The arrow was moving very fast and at close range, making it extremely difficult to dodge effectively.

"What's going on?!" Shangguan Huai, who had joined in the fun, tugged at his brother's clothes. "Yan Jue seems to have used an attack, but... is that person okay?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it might be related to what's in that man's box."

"It's over, it's over. Even someone as powerful as Yan Jue can't handle it. Aren't we doomed too?"

"Be quiet..."

"oh."

The tip of the arrow was illuminated red by the torch light, so fast that only a red shadow could be seen rushing towards Yan Jue's eyebrows.

Su Ming took a deep breath and quickly squatted down, fearing that the arrow would pierce his head and Yan Jue's head.

Yi Zimei sneered and was about to enjoy Yan Jue's embarrassment, when suddenly a strong cold wind blew past his face, and a white figure passed by Yan Jue in front of him so fast that it looked like a flashing shadow.

When the shadow stopped, Yizimei saw Rong Xiao playing with the arrow he had just shot.

She stuffed her cell phone into her trouser pocket and took off one of her earphones, which she gently shook against her chest as she moved.

Rong Xiao held the arrow in his hand, turning it over and over, and finally held it up for confirmation and asked Yan Jue, "This is... a weapon, right? It seems to be called... an arrow?"

Teacher Mosaic had once drawn it for her in a dream, and the thing in her hand was exactly the same as the painting she had seen in the dream.

"Yes, this is a weapon." Although he was almost shot through the head by an arrow, Yan Jue still folded his hands calmly, trying to explain something unimportant to Rong Xiao.

"Then he is a bad guy." Rong Xiao immediately gave a simple and rough summary.

To her, Yan Jue is a friend, and anyone who uses weapons against friends is considered a bad person.

Su Ming was peeking at Yan Jue from behind by pulling at his coat, nearly causing it to slip off his shoulders. He couldn't stop looking back while peeking, as if he was waiting for a savior.

"Su Ming, if you don't plan to help, you might as well go back and stop pulling my clothes here." After pulling the clothes that had slipped down back into place, Yan Jue looked at him with a completely different look from the one he gave Rong Xiao. The difference in treatment should not be too obvious, and he showed a self-righteous attitude as if "this attitude towards you is enough."

"Tsk, don't look down on me!!" Su Ming hated being looked down upon the most. He rolled up his sleeves angrily, and his aura immediately made the other party nervous.

The man who had just shot the cold arrow was frightened and quickly changed his aim to Su Ming and pulled down his sword.

brush--

An arc of white light appeared in the air, like a glowing transparent umbrella, covering most of Su Ming.

Su Ming laughed triumphantly: "Look at my protective shield!!!...Huh?"

The transparent barrier that had been covering him gradually faded away in the next second, and the arrow from the opposite side directly broke through the remaining protective shield and went straight to his eyebrows.

Su Ming's arrogance disappeared in an instant. The arrow was too fast and it was too late for him to escape.

The wind generated by the friction between the arrow and the air seemed to hit his face. Su Ming was extremely unwilling. What he saw before he died was... the ugly man with straight eyebrows opposite him!

The dark shadows blocked the light of the torch, forcing Su Ming to swallow his saliva and continue trying to use his supernatural powers as if he was dying.

But after trying several times with all my strength, the protective shield was just a decoration and I couldn't put it up.

This situation has never happened before.

Everything that was happening seemed to be in slow motion. Su Ming saw that the hairs on the tail of the arrow that was so close to him were split. Perhaps due to poor craftsmanship, there were a few black feathers mixed in with the white feathers.

He passively saw everything very clearly, and then fell into a brief darkness until the light returned. What he saw was a face that was so beautiful that it was shocking, like an angel sent by God to pick him up.

That’s great, at least what I see after death isn’t that ugly face with straight eyebrows.

"Wow, I almost stabbed you. Are you okay?" Landing gracefully and smoothly, Rong Xiao came forward curiously and waved his hands in front of Su Ming's eyes, trying to make his dull eyes lively again.

It’s not an angel, it’s Rong Xiao!

She held two arrows in her hand, one of which had the familiar forked hairs that Su Ming was familiar with!

It’s the one that almost pierced his head just now!

"I... I'm fine." Su Ming's dull eyes gradually changed from panic to calmness, with a faint light. "Thank you, you are amazing!!"

It only took a second for Su Ming's emotions to change from fear to admiration.

Yizhimei, who was standing nearby in a daze, also had a fluctuating array of emotions. He was carrying his "baby" with him, and it was impossible for this group of people to use their supernatural powers at this distance.

What's wrong with this girl?
