Chapter 122 Heavy Rain, Tokyo, Bloody Auction (VI)
Xia Pingzhou walked towards Su Zimai step by step, with no expression on his face but his eyes were as cold as a ravine.
The auction hall was clearly noisy because of the fight between Lan Duoduo and Xu Lin. The noise was like an earthquake, and the rumbling noise in his ears never stopped. But in Su Zimai's ears, the footsteps of this cold-faced young man were very loud.
Her heartbeat almost overlapped with his footsteps, as if ten thousand little people were kicking her heart hard.
"If I lose... I will die." Su Zimai took a deep breath and thought secretly, "I can beat him... Even if I can't, I must delay until the captain comes back."
She silently lowered the brim of her magic hat and watched Xia Pingzhou from the shadows like a vigilant little wolf.
At this moment, a circular chessboard with a radius of forty meters appeared in Xia Pingzhou's mind with himself as the center, helping him to see every detail on the chessboard.
In front of Xia Pingzhou, the stone statue of the queen had already run to the front of Su Zimai.
He stomped the ground, jumped up, and turned his body in the air. The daggers in his hands spun at high speed, slashing towards Su Zimai like a gyroscope.
Su Zimai was quick-witted and grabbed the red cloak and threw it towards Xia Pingzhou.
Then, her figure suddenly disappeared, as if she had suddenly evaporated into a puff of gas. The dagger of the Queen's stone statue fell with a sound of breaking through the air, but it hit nothing.
The Queen's stone statue slowly turned its head, and saw the red cape that Su Zimai had just thrown flying in the air at high speed. In just two seconds, it flew more than twenty meters.
The next moment, Su Zimai's figure suddenly appeared under the cloak.
"As long as we kill him, this broken stone he summoned won't be able to move!"
Thinking of this, Su Zimai grabbed the magic cloak and draped it behind him, then suddenly raised the magic glove on his right hand, pointing his palm at Xia Pingzhou in front of him.
Su Zimai lowered his face, pressed his right wrist with his left hand, and adjusted the direction of his palm.
Like moving the crosshairs of a sniper rifle.
The next moment, spheres condensed from flames appeared in front of his palm and shot towards Xia Pingzhou with a "bang". The fireballs that followed whistled in the air above the auction hall, and the air within a ten-meter radius seemed to have heated up a lot.
The billowing flames merged into a flame curtain, rushing towards him and reflected in the young man's pupils.
Xia Pingzhou remained calm and walked forward like a robot, while raising his hand to grab a chess piece on the ring:
"king."
The giant statue of the king arrived in response and stood motionless ten meters to the side of Xia Pingzhou.
The continuous fireballs swung out from the magic gloves were blocked by a black and white energy barrier, but Xia Pingzhou's forward steps remained unhindered.
Su Zimai was slightly startled, and then looked towards the source of the black and white barrier.
I saw a black and white chain floating faintly in the air, with the two ends of the chain connected to Xia Pingzhou and the scepter in the hands of the stone statue of the king respectively.
She frowned and immediately realized that something was wrong: "Is that the thing causing trouble?"
At this moment, the stone statue of the queen was chasing from behind, leaning forward slightly, approaching like a hunter, raising the dagger in its right hand and stabbing towards Su Zimai's back!
The murderous intent coming from behind him and the whistling wind from the blade all reminded Su Zimai that there was an evil ghost flying towards him from behind.
She frowned and shouted in a low voice without turning her head: "Scarecrow Devil!"
At this moment, the dagger of the Queen's stone statue pierced into Su Zimai's back, but it did not feel like it pierced into a human body, but rather like it pierced into a pile of straw.
When I looked up, I found that Su Zimai's body was replaced by a motionless scarecrow.
The scarecrow wears a straw hat on his head, and his body is made up of two crossed broomsticks and pieces of tangled straw, with his arms stretched out to both sides.
The scarecrow demon suddenly turned his head stiffly and revealed a weird smile.
The moment the Queen's statue saw this smile, her body was suddenly covered with straw. The cross-shaped pole hung her in the air, and she could not move no matter how hard she struggled.
The two daggers fell out of his hands and landed on the floor of the auction hall with a clang.
The scarecrow demon disappeared.
From Xia Pingzhou's bird's-eye view, Su Zimai instantly appeared eight meters in front of the stone statue of the king.
Su Zimai leaned forward and took off the black magic hat on his head.
She flipped the magic hat upwards, and suddenly large groups of rabbits and pigeons emerged from it. The pure white little animals rushed forward, the rabbits ran nimbly on the floor, and the pigeons flapped their wings and flew in the air.
On Su Zimai's magic gloves, there are invisible magic lines connecting the backs of rabbits and pigeons. She uses the magic gloves to manipulate the magic lines, which move the running rabbits and flying pigeons.
"Kill that stone man!" she said.
As soon as he finished speaking, with a funny magic sound effect, the creatures "puff puff" quickly grew larger.
Finally, the small animals transformed into giant beasts the size of adults with strange red light flashing in their eyes - the teeth of the big rabbit were like two diamonds, and the wings of the big pigeon were as sharp as knives.
They all rushed towards the stone statue of the king, as if they wanted to cut him into pieces.
"The gun carriage."
Xia Pingzhou looked at this scene and read it expressionlessly.
The next moment, a silver cannon carriage appeared beside him, and the muzzle looked like an abyss from which flames would burst forth at any moment.
"Castling."
[The second-level Exorcist skill of Unit 2 has been released: "King and Rook Castling" (the "King" chess piece and the "Cannon Cart" chess piece on the chessboard swap positions in an instant)]
At the moment when the mutated animals besieged the stone statue of the king, the stone statue of the king disappeared...
Instead, a silver cannon cart that was glowing red all over, rapidly heating up and looking like it would explode at any time, appeared among them!
"Self-destruction."
Xia Pingzhou issued orders to the stone statue of the artillery carriage.
As soon as the words fell, the temperature of the stone statue of the artillery cart reached its peak, and then it exploded in the middle of the mutated animals. The huge rabbits and pigeons were instantly engulfed by the surging flames, and were annihilated into pieces of ashes.
Immediately afterwards, the magic lines on Su Zimai's magic gloves broke with a "snap", hanging one after another on the floor, and then retracted between the fingers.
“How could it be…”
She opened her eyes slightly and murmured to herself, but she did not stand there in a daze. Instead, she raised her magic gloves to gather magic power.
Su Zimai's expression changed. He put his magic hat back on his head and ran towards the stone statue of the king. The red cloak behind him fluttered in the wind.
He raised the magic glove, pressed his right wrist with his left hand, adjusted the aim, and shot out a series of fireballs from his palm. The huge fireballs flew towards the stone statue of the king!
"Soldier statue."
Xia Pingzhou spoke calmly, reaching out and picking up the three chess pieces on the black and white circle.
Three fully armed silver soldiers responded and stood in front of the stone statue of the king. They raised their huge shields and formed a huge shield wall in front of them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The whistling fireball was completely blocked by the shield, and the flames burned the shield black, leaving layers of cracks.
Then, three silver soldiers stood up at the same time. With the rumbling sound of footsteps, they kept approaching Su Zimai's figure, like the god of death approaching with a sickle.
"Refrigerator Demon!"
Su Zimai shouted calmly and swung out his right arm.
Suddenly, a giant refrigerator that was five meters high appeared right in front of her. On the refrigerator door was a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a lazy expression.
Xia Pingzhou's face twitched slightly.
I don’t know if he was trying to hold back his laughter or if he was inwardly shocked by the majestic figure of the refrigerator demon.
The next moment, the refrigerator door suddenly opened, revealing a total of three layers of freezer space, followed by a gust of cold air blowing out of the super-large refrigerator.
The soldiers' steps were frozen, layers of frost formed on their bodies, and the ground beneath their feet gradually turned into ice.
Then, three pitch-black chains shot out from the three freezer layers of the refrigerator.
The chains moved extremely fast, wrapping around the bodies of the three silver soldiers in a flash, and then dragging them towards the freezing layer.
The soldiers' swords and shields fell to the ground, and their armored bodies twisted into a ball and were dragged into the frozen layer by chains.
The refrigerator door slammed shut with a thud. The giant refrigerator disappeared along with the silver soldiers trapped inside.
But at this moment, the Queen's statue finally broke free from the curse of the scarecrow demon.
The queen knelt on the ground. The straw that kept growing on her body disappeared layer by layer. Her body slowly regained the ability to move, and her right hand slowly picked up the dagger that had fallen on the ground.
She raised her head, her eyes burning with cold fire and murderous intent.
"Hurry up, that thing will be able to move soon!"
Su Zimai glanced at the stone statue of the queen out of the corner of his eye, then raised his hand again and shot a fireball at the motionless stone statue of the king.
Xia Pingzhou summoned the shadow demon, and the shadow demon dragged the stone statue of the king into the shadow lake beneath it.
"Shadow Demon?" Su Zimai was stunned.
She came to her senses, suddenly raised her gloves, and shot a fireball at the helpless Xia Pingzhou.
Soon she discovered: even though the king was in the shadow, his power still protected Xia Pingzhou - the fireball was blocked by the black and white barrier, and turned into a dancing curtain of flames that passed by Xia Pingzhou's calm face.
The next second, the Queen's stone statue suddenly stomped the ground, and her figure jumped up from the ground like a cheetah, and pounced on Su Zimai. The dagger stabbed at Su Zimai.
Su Zimai's magic gloves flashed. A huge magic wardrobe suddenly appeared behind her. The door opened automatically, and she stepped back and entered the interior of the wardrobe.
The stone statue of the queen stabbed both daggers into the cabinet at the same time, but there was no real feeling of piercing the human body. When the door of the magic wardrobe opened again, Su Zimai's figure had disappeared.
The cabinet was empty.
At the same time, another magic wardrobe appeared behind Xia Pingzhou. Su Zimai opened the door and fell outside.
Seeing that the stone statue of the king was still hidden underground by the shadow demon, Su Zimai knew that it was useless to attack the shadow.
So at this moment, she turned and launched her killing move at Xia Pingzhou who was close to her.
"Execution cabinet." Su Zimai's eyes turned cold.
A huge magic wardrobe suddenly appeared behind Xia Pingzhou, like a giant beast that was ready to devour its prey, swallowing him up and slamming the door shut. Then, the shadows of magicians appeared outside the wardrobe, holding bayonets and stabbing at the inside of the wardrobe from all directions.
But the next second, the magicians' bayonets broke at the same time, and the fragments of the blades scattered in the air like rain.
The king's power blocked everything for Xia Pingzhou in the closet.
"How is it possible..."
Su Zimai murmured with a pale face. Even his most powerful killer move could not break through the king's barrier.
At this moment, Xia Pingzhou pushed open the door of the magic wardrobe and walked out with an expressionless face.
At the same time, the maximum existence time of the shadow demon disappeared, and the king floated up from the shadow lake. He held the scepter high and stood motionless in the same place.
"The gun carriage."
Xia Pingzhou summoned the second artillery cart, twisted the barrel, and fired a cannonball at Su Zimai who was standing there.
Su Zimai tore off his red cloak, frowned and waved it forward. The flames that came towards him were instantly swallowed up by the cloak!
Then the cloak was burned, but the light and fire from the shell disappeared.
Two seconds later, an explosion occurred behind Su Zimai, and her high ponytail was blown high by the whistling wind.
But at this moment, the stone statue of the queen was already moving towards Su Zimai step by step.
She turned the daggers in her hands and held them upside down. In her slightly narrowed eyes, a cold blue flame burned fiercely.
Su Zimai stared at the queen blankly, with a glimmer of panic in his eyes.
She had exhausted all her means, but she couldn't do any harm to Xia Pingzhou, let alone destroy the king...
"Don't come over here, don't come over here...don't come over here!"
Su Zimai backed away, muttering to himself in a daze, the shouts coming from his throat becoming louder and louder.
Then she raised her magic gloves and shot fireballs at the queen's statue.
The size and number of the fireballs were far less than at the beginning, as if they were running out of ammunition and food.
The stone statue of the queen didn't even bother to dodge the flames that were coming towards her. Her body turned into nothingness at this moment and she moved forward towards the flames.
The fireball passed through her body weakly, slammed onto the floor of the auction house, and burned out charred holes.
Su Zimai was startled and his pupils contracted.
She was stunned for a second, took two steps back powerlessly, and yelled hysterically:
“Don’t come over here—!”
Not far away, Xu Sanyan, who was struggling with the strange fragment "Headless Horseman", heard Su Zimai's shout.
He was stunned for a moment, then he opened his umbrella to deflect the spear that the headless knight was stabbing at him. He flew backwards and spun in the air before he managed to steady himself and land on the ground.
"wheat!"
Xu Sanyan suddenly turned his head, looked at the stone statue of the queen, then looked at Xia Pingzhou, and finally chose Xia Pingzhou as the target of attack.
"As long as we kill that man, his Sky Drive will be ineffective!" Thinking of this, Xu Sanyan gritted his teeth and his eyes turned cold. He suddenly raised the black umbrella and pointed the tip of the umbrella at Xia Pingzhou's silhouette.
It seemed that he saw this scene from a bird's-eye view, so Xia Pingzhou turned around slowly at this moment and looked at him expressionlessly.
The muzzle of the gun at the tip of the umbrella was pointing at Xia Pingzhou's face.
But there was no fear in his eyes, and his calm expression seemed to be challenging Xu Sanyan:
"You can try firing a gun."
Xu Sanyan pulled the trigger, and the fog bomb flew out from the tip of the umbrella and headed straight for Xia Pingzhou's head!
With a "bang", the bullet exploded in mid-air and turned into a scorching white mist that enveloped Xia Pingzhou, but was blocked by a black and white barrier and could not touch Xia Pingzhou's body at all.
The white mist swept away, and Xia Pingzhou's body still stood there, like a reef standing in the raging tide.
Then he turned his gaze away from Xu Sanyan's stunned face, turned around, and cast a cold look at Su Zimai.
The stone statue of the queen was approaching the girl with a high ponytail step by step.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Don't come over here--!"
Su Zimai's whole body was shaking. She yelled and backed away, gritting her teeth and raising her trembling right hand.
She pointed her magic glove at the Queen's statue, but was unable to squeeze out any flame.
The magic pattern on the gloves flickered on and off, on and off, until finally, not even the slightest bit of light remained, dimming just like her last hope.
The Queen was getting closer.
The footsteps of this silver creature were cold and clearly audible; the blue flames in its eye sockets swayed in the wind, filled with murderous intent.
die……
Will I die?
At this moment, this thought appeared in Su Zimai's mind, and she suddenly realized: In the past, she had always been under the protection of Ke Qirui, and had killed many demons smoothly. She was respected as a genius by the people of the Exorcist Association, so she naturally thought that she could do everything.
But those are just playing house...
Because from beginning to end, she had never separated from the captain to fight alone, and had never experienced the feeling of risking her life in a fight with others.
If you lose, you will really die...
No, I don't want to die...
I don't want to die here...
I still have a lot of things to do...
The world seemed to be extremely quiet at this moment. Su Zimai's figure was as pale as paper, and her mind was full of thoughts. She couldn't even hear the footsteps of the Queen's stone statue.
"Xu Sanyan, Lin Zhengquan, come quickly..."
Su Zimai turned his head tremblingly and looked at Lin Zhengquan who was struggling with the snowman in the mountains, and then looked at Xu Sanyan who was fighting with the headless knight.
Their faces were pale, they both gave her a nervous look and yelled something at her.
But she couldn't hear it.
She could no longer hear anything except the footsteps of the stone statue of the queen.
The whole world fell silent, with only the sound of the queen's footsteps growing louder and louder, like a cold tide coming over and about to drown her.
"Captain...Captain, save me, save me..."
Su Zimai muttered to himself, his body still slowly retreating step by step.
But suddenly, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a thud. The black magic hat fluttered down from her head, but she was still wearing a deerstalker hat - which was put on her by Ke Qirui just now.
Su Zimai was gasping for breath. She fell to the ground in panic, pushing her legs against the ground and moving her body backwards little by little, shouting "Don't come over here!"
But the stone statue of the queen was like a cold executioner and never stopped.
The huge shadow was getting closer and closer.
Su Zimai had no way to retreat, and her back was soon against the wall of the auction hall.
She leaned against the wall, tilted her head up dully, and the image of the stone statue of the queen was reflected in her trembling pupils.
At this second, the Deerstake hat on Su Zimai's head also fell off.
She held her hat helplessly, her whole body trembling, her lips moving as she cried hoarsely:
"Captain...Captain, Captain, where are you? Come and save me..."
Slowly, the stone statue of the queen stopped in front of her.
The giant statue looked down at the girl from above, and its shadow covered her entire figure.
The proud girl lowered her head.
This second seemed to pass very slowly, so slowly, as if a century had passed. Many thoughts flashed through Su Zimai's mind.
The first thing that appeared in her mind was Gu Qinye’s gloomy face.
She wondered blankly, if she had listened to her eldest brother the night before, not thrown a tantrum, but chose to go home with him, would things not have turned out like this?
If she had been more obedient.
Will I not die?
Her brother really cared about her, but for the sake of her self-esteem, she was unwilling to admit her mistakes and instead hurt him...
Her mind kept recalling how Gu Qiye suppressed his anger and spoke to her in a low voice. At this moment, she suddenly felt that her brother's face was getting farther and farther away, and was about to leave her.
I'm sorry, brother...
Thinking of this, Su Zimai's eyes suddenly turned red.
She really wanted to see Gu Qinye again, as she still had a lot to say to him.
As she was thinking about it, Gu Wenyu's face suddenly appeared in her mind again, the second brother who asked for a beating, acted like a jerk, but would always protect him.
Su Zimai suddenly remembered that when she was a child in kindergarten, whenever she was bullied by other children, Gu Wenyu would always rush over yelling and drive the other children away.
Then I took her hand and took her to the small park near the kindergarten to play.
As the sun set in the west, the two of them sat on the swing and watched the people coming and going. When there was no one around, Gu Wenyu would raise his hand and touch the top of her head, comforting her in an awkward tone:
"Sister, you are such an idiot. You can't beat others but you are so stubborn. I can't come to your rescue every time."
At that time, Su Zimai would wipe away his tears, grit his teeth, raise his head and say unreasonably:
"But...but, aren't you here?"
"What will happen when I'm not around?" Gu Wenyu rolled his eyes at her helplessly.
"I can do it alone!" Su Zimai shouted with tears of resentment in his eyes.
"Then don't regret it!"
Gu Wenyu also yelled loudly and was about to leave angrily, but at this time Su Zimai grabbed his arm. Gu Wenyu was stunned for a moment and looked back at Su Zimai's depressed face.
She didn't speak.
But in the end, Gu Wenyu did not leave. He silently sat back on the swing and sat quietly with Su Zimai for a while.
At that time, the night quietly enveloped the quiet park like a curtain.
In the darkness, the boy's gentle voice sounded softly in her ears:
"Okay... I just lied to you. No matter how many times, brother will come to save you."
"So, stop crying."
The cold fire was still burning.
The stone statue of the queen lowered its head, and the blue flames in its eye sockets flickered, pulling Su Zimai back to the cold reality.
In the shadow cast by the colossus, the girl hung her head, huddled up in a ball, trembling all over.
She murmured silently:
"Brother...save me."
For some reason, the stone statue of the queen raised the dagger and it never dropped.
At this moment, Lan Duoduo's speechless voice came from a distance, "Newcomer, what are you doing? Hurry up and kill that trash, then come and help me!"
Xia Pingzhou's back remained motionless.
Before he knew it, a shadow suddenly appeared behind his shadow.
Oda Takikage, dressed in a pitch-black ninja outfit, appeared from behind Xia Ping Zhou and asked indifferently:
"Mr. Xia Pingzhou, do you need any help? I have dealt with all the bodyguards in the corridor on the fifth floor."
He paused and looked at Su Zimai in the distance: "If you are not good at attacking girls, I can do it."
Xia Pingzhou shook his head and replied expressionlessly:
"unnecessary."
The moment the words fell, the stone statue of the queen moved, and her dagger chopped down over Su Zimai's head.
Su Zimai looked at the shadow on the ground. The giant in the shadow waved its arms, and sharp objects fell from above her head. But her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't make any sound, not even crying...
Slowly, she closed her eyelids.
However, there was no feeling of pain in the darkness...the Queen's dagger did not seem to fall on her head.
After being stunned for a long while, Su Zimai slowly raised his head and looked forward.
Then she saw an incredible scene: the arms of the queen's stone statue were tightly wrapped in black restraints, unable to move. The dagger was suspended a foot in front of Su Zimai's forehead, reflected in her pupils.
The blue flames in the queen's eyes trembled, and a hint of surprise appeared in her expression.
The next second, the stone statue of the queen and Su Zimai looked up together.
At this moment, a figure wrapped in black restraints was hanging upside down below the ceiling, holding a Japanese light novel "My Sister Can't Be This Cute" in his hand.
Black Pupa lowered his eyes to read the book. He flipped the pages and said quietly, "Oh, you bastards from the White Crow Brigade... This lady is my collaborator. I can't let you kill her."
In the auction hall, Lan Duoduo, Xu Sanyan, Lin Zhengquan and Oda Takikage saw this scene out of the corner of their eyes.
They were stunned at the same time.
At the same time, Su Zimai raised his wet and red eyes, and the face of the black pupa was slowly reflected in his pupils blurred by tears.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered Gu Wenyu's playful face when he was a child.
She held the hat in her arms, stared blankly at the figure of the black pupa, and murmured silently:
"……elder brother?"
