"I was right. Although the ceremony is important, the safety of Yanlong Kingdom is definitely the priority." A muffled voice came from inside the dilapidated window.
Nan Zhu stood outside the window, leaning against the wall; anyone who didn't know better would probably think he was daydreaming.
“Once this is over, Guan Nianshan should really submit to us. Let’s hope Leviathan and Samael don’t mess things up and cause more trouble.” Arrogance whispered to Nanzhu from inside the dilapidated house.
"Aren't you going to come out and cause trouble?" Nan Zhu lowered his voice. "I thought you would take advantage of the chaos to do something."
“He will, but it’s not the right time yet.” Arrogantly, he said coldly, “He can actually guess what I’m going to do next, but I’m more curious about how he will handle it.”
Nanzhu: "What are you going to do?"
"Worried about her?" He sneered arrogantly. "You might as well..."
The arrogant words came to an abrupt halt. Nan Zhu quickly opened the door behind him and squeezed into the small house. He could sense two people running towards him at high speed. When he saw who was coming from outside the window, Nan Zhu couldn't help but frown.
"Although this modification is so-so, it's still pretty fast... By the way, can you ride it?" Nan Zhu recognized the person who spoke; it was Parrot.
Another one... How did Kita-Kyokawa end up here?
"Yes, I have a driver's license," Kitakyokuchi answered readily, starting the motorcycle in two quick starts. Although a car would be safer, there was no room for choice now. "Thank you."
After saying that, he vanished without a trace.
"Hey! Do you even know the way?! I... I even have a map." The parrot, its face covered in dust, looked at the hurried Kita Kiyokawa with a hint of exasperation: "Can you let me finish what I have to say?"
Is it easy for her to steal a motorcycle?
Moreover, this motorcycle belongs to a well-known rich kid in the W safe zone. If this rich kid hadn't gone to a bar to drink, the parrot wouldn't have had the chance to throw his motorcycle out.
If she couldn't get on the good side of the government this time, Parrot knew she was doomed. Stealing someone else's precious motorcycle, that rich kid would definitely send someone to break her legs.
Where is he going?
A deep voice came from behind him, startling the parrot, who then realized that the long-haired man he had been looking for was right behind him.
When did this guy appear? Is his superpower teleportation?
"I'm not telling you." The parrot felt strange. She didn't have a second motorcycle; she only needed to bet on one person. If she chose the wrong side, she would be finished.
Thinking of this, the parrot turned and ran away.
"Who is this little girl?" Arrogant came out of the house, looking a bit puzzled.
And people He doesn't know?
"An orphan I just met." Nan Zhu looked in the direction where Bei Qingchuan disappeared, and something just didn't feel right.
"Really? It seems pretty weak." Arrogance didn't take it to heart: "Let's go, I have things to arrange. This time I'll have to get some interest back."
The road to the ceremony site was difficult to traverse. There were no signs of government clearing, and although the plants were shrinking at a visible rate, they were still enormous and had not yet shrunk to their normal size.
Fortunately, most of the road was relatively clean. This was the border between Yanlong Kingdom and Volga, and also a place of exile. People in the place of exile would clean up the road a little for their own survival.
However, it would be quite dangerous.
There will be more robbers.
Especially with motorcycles being a cool and noisy mode of transportation, coupled with Kita-Kyoko's neat attire, people kept gathering around, hoping to get some benefits.
Unfortunately, most of these people who blocked the road were somewhat rational.
Beiqingchuan sped along at breakneck speed, and anyone with a clear head would probably not dare to approach. If they were to be hit by it, they would likely end up with bruises all over their bodies.
The phone call still wouldn't go through. Kita Kiyokawa hurried toward the ceremony location, relying on his memory of the route, while his phone kept automatically dialing Tyr's number on an endless loop. He had already dialed more than 20 times, but none of them were answered.
After an unknown amount of time, Kitakyokuchi felt his hands were getting numb. Under the night sky, the flowing lava in the area where the ceremony was taking place was a dazzling red.
However, there was no one around.
Where are they?
Kita Kiyokawa slowly braked, bringing the motorcycle to a smooth stop. It was clear to the naked eye that none of the familiar Volga exploration teams, including Tyr himself, remained around the site of the ceremony.
The surroundings were quiet, which made me uneasy for no reason.
No, I can't get through to Shiyin on the phone either. What happened?
Kita Kiyokawa was somewhat anxious, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a dark figure standing furtively around the entrance to the ritual site, slowly moving towards the ritual.
It was a berserker, about six meters tall, which wasn't particularly powerful among the current zombies. Its muscles bulged all over its body, like a small mountain.
By the light of the lava, Kitakyokuchi could see the zombie's condition. The zombie's eyes were lifeless, lacking both human intelligence and the ferocity of a zombie. Its pupils were chaotic, making people uneasy.
Kita Kiyokawa subtly activated his supernatural ability. The infection effect on this zombie was almost zero, which was normal, as zombies have a very weak perception of emotions.
However, a thin thread was hanging from the zombie's head, which was difficult to detect even if Kitakami looked closely, but the infectious power of this thread was particularly strong.
Is this... a puppet ability?
Wait, the power of this ritual can be inherited, but how is it inherited? Does it mean you just come and inherit the power directly? Or does it mean you just have any zombie inherit it and then take out the crystal core?
The ceremony can be given to the first person, and of course, it can be given to the second.
The parrot's words seemed to echo in their ears. Everyone thought that Leviathan and Samael would inherit the throne, so when neither of the Seven Deadly Sins was present, everyone naturally felt that the ritual was not yet complete and there was no need to pay attention.
By the time Kita Kiyokawa realized what was happening, he had already rushed out, his machete piercing the berserker's knee, blood splattering all over his face.
"roar----"
The berserker's knee was severed by the sudden force, and it knelt on the ground with one leg. It turned around angrily, trying to grab the overconfident insect behind it, but its movements were inexplicably stiff.
At the same time, Kitakyokawa could feel the threads hanging above the berserker's head, and the emotions they reflected were even stronger.
"when!"
The muscular fist grazed the blade. If Ye Shaoheng were here, he would probably have taken the hit head-on. But Bei Qingchuan was different. He hadn't trained long enough. Even though it was just a glancing blow, he was sent flying several meters away.
Fortunately, Kitakami reacted quickly enough. He rolled on the ground and rushed up again, anticipating the berserker's waving motion to dodge the attack. He then climbed onto the berserker's body and slashed at the almost invisible silk thread with his sword.
This time it's even worse.
The thin, almost invisible thread was incredibly tough; no matter how hard Bei Qingchuan tried, he couldn't cut it. The fist came hurtling towards him, and he was sent flying, sliding across the ground for more than ten meters.
"It's you?" A shadow slowly took shape, holding the puppet thread in its hand, its tone slightly surprised: "You're more resilient than I thought. You should be dead now."
Kita Kiyokawa really didn't expect to survive, or rather, it seemed that a lot of the force of that blow had been absorbed, leaving only the impact that slammed him to the ground, without breaking any bones.
"So it was you who came to ruin my plans. If she only sent you, she's really underestimating me." The owner of the voice gradually approached, and Kita Kiyokawa barely opened his eyes, seeing a white mask with cracks.
This time, it seemed that the arrogance didn't use a voice changer. The voice sounded very familiar to Bei Qingchuan, and he was sure he had heard it before, from someone he knew, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Why bother? Just follow the commander and you'll save your life." Arrogance led the Berserker to Kita Kiyokawa, his voice cold: "However, since you want to be cannon fodder, I'll grant your wish."
"Go to hell and regret it."
