Chapter 123 Heavy Rain, Tokyo, Bloody Auction (VII)
"I'm alive?"
Su Zimai talked to himself silently in his heart and slowly opened his eyes from the darkness.
She raised her head belatedly and stared at the stone statue of the queen who was bound by restraints. The cold blade was close at hand, and the dagger was about to pierce Su Zimai's head.
Su Zimai was stunned. Only then did she realize that her body seemed to be wet and the floor was wet.
After a moment, she looked up blankly again, and a dark shadow appeared in her tear-blurred vision. The dark shadow was holding a novel in his hand with a calm expression.
"……elder brother?"
Staring at the shadow wrapped in restraints, for some reason, she subconsciously uttered these two words.
In the dead silence, everyone in the auction hall turned their eyes to the dark figure hanging upside down from the ceiling. Even though he was in the center of the battlefield and could be affected at any time, he was still reading the book calmly.
"That is..." Lan Duoduo was stunned.
"Black Pupa." Oda Takikage narrowed his eyes and slowly read out the name of the uninvited guest.
"He saved Xiaomai?" Lin Zhengquan raised his thick and short eyebrows and muttered.
"He said 'collaborator'? Could it be that... he is the head of the group's collaborator?" Xu Sanyan thought.
Xia Pingzhou raised his eyes expressionlessly and looked at Hei Pupa's face in silence.
At this moment, Hei Jin closed the book "My Sister Can't Be This Cute" in his hand.
Then he suddenly pulled the restraints that bound the arms of the queen's stone statue, distributing the gravity, and lightly fell onto the shoulders of the queen's stone statue.
While extending the restraints toward the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, he reached out his hand toward Su Zimai.
"Let's go, Miss Su Zimai." Hei Pu shrugged and said lightly, "I have an appointment with someone. If you die, he might be angry with me."
Su Zimai was slightly stunned, and then he vaguely realized that this person was not his brother, but a big moth!
After coming to her senses, she stretched out her trembling hand with all her strength, received the cold gaze of the queen's stone statue, and then caught the palm of the black pupa wrapped in the restraints.
"That's right, I thought you wouldn't take my hand even if you died."
Hei Pupa teased and grabbed Su Zimai's right hand. At this moment, his restraints had already wrapped around the crystal chandelier on the dome.
He held Su Zimai in his arms, grabbed the restraints, stepped on the shoulders of the stone statue of the queen, and jumped up.
Oda Takikage tilted his head and watched the scene quietly.
"We can't let them get away. The captain is very interested in the black pupa, so we can bring him to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Oda Takikage's figure suddenly disappeared into the shadows under his feet.
He instantly flashed to the shadow cast by the crystal chandelier on the ceiling and emerged from the shadow.
He raised the sword in his hand and chopped it towards the back of the black pupa's head!
As if he had anticipated Oda Ryuukage's actions, before he made his move, the black pupa sitting on the crystal chandelier said quietly:
"Ninjas are sinister creatures... Shouldn't the Japanese have a bit of bushido spirit, fight uprightly, and commit suicide if they can't win?"
Then, just when Oda Takikage's sword was about to touch the back of Hei Pupa's head, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot!
[The power stored in the restraint belt has been released - taking oneself and a target that comes into contact with to an unknown location 50 meters away from the original location (power source: the power user "Ryukawa Yamato")]
This is the special power of the gangster driver attacked by Black Pupa in the Maybach. He stole the other party's special power at that time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.
“Disappeared?”
Oda Takikage was slightly startled, and his sword missed the target and rolled down from mid-air.
"The black pupa took away the wheat?"
Xu Sanyan frowned, then glanced around.
Originally, he and Lin Zhengquan were already struggling just to fight against Lan Duoduo. Seeing that there was one more member of the brigade in the auction hall and the leader showed no signs of returning from the movie screen, he knew that it would be useless to continue to pester him.
Even... there is a high possibility that he will die here with Lin Zhengquan.
Xu Sanyan made a prompt decision and raised his umbrella, with a cloud of smoke spreading from the tip of the umbrella. The white mist instantly covered him and Lin Zhengquan, and then spread to the entrance of the auction house.
In the mist, Xu Sanyan signaled Lin Zhengquan with his eyes: "Let's go."
Although Lin Zhengquan was unwilling, he gritted his teeth and chose to leave the auction venue with Xu Sanyan.
Oda Takikage, Xia Pingzhuo and Lan Duoduo stood motionless outside the fog.
They all knew that the enemy's SkyDrive could control the "fog" and that it would be dangerous to rush into the fog rashly, so they were all waiting quietly for the fog to dissipate.
Not long after, when the thick fog in the auction hall dissipated, Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan were nowhere to be seen.
"He ran away?"
Lan Duoduo muttered, put his elbow on Xia Pingzhou's shoulder, and glanced at the mountain snowman who was half-kneeling on the ground, "But these two people are really powerful. They can beat my snowman like this."
"Do you want to chase?"
Xia Pingzhou turned his head and asked Oda Takikage, and the stone statue of the queen slowly walked back to his side.
"There's no need to chase." Oda Takikage said expressionlessly, "Our mission has been completed. Next, we will go back to the Mirror Auction House to see if the captain and his men have dealt with the enemy..."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong, so he looked around and asked, "Where are the eldest lady and the vampire lady?"
"They..." Xia Pingzhou was silent for a while, "They are still in the movie world."
Meanwhile, inside the movie world.
The long black and white street was in a mess, almost a ruin - the originally exquisite Gothic architecture had been ruined beyond the sight, and hundreds of pointed-roof houses had collapsed to the ground, turning into pieces of broken walls and ruins.
In the world of pantomime, only the last clock tower is still standing intact in the center of the long street.
"I really don't know what's going on outside..."
Ke Qirui stood on the top of the bell tower, muttering absentmindedly.
The train demon's body was divided into countless movie screens, scattered above her head.
At this moment, the blood descendant suddenly jumped out from behind the shelter in the corner of the long street and threw a blood-red spear towards Ke Qirui.
The train demon roared and moved its body forward. A fragment of the train body swept out like a dragon's tail, but was pierced by the blood-red spear.
But the movie screen flashed from behind, and another section of the carriage blocked the spear in front of it, blocking the potential energy of the blood spear.
Ayase Origami stretched out her right arm from behind the shelter, and thousands of paper butterflies formed a white rainstorm, flowing back into the sky in an unstoppable manner.
The train demon's body was too bulky to keep all the butterflies out, so Ke Qirui put down his pipe, took a step back, merged into the movie screen, and disappeared at the top of the clock tower.
Paper butterflies burst through the windows of the bell tower. Amid the roar of the huge bell, the last intact building collapsed.
The next moment, a movie screen appeared from the side of Ayase Origami, and the front of the train demon roared out from it.
A beam of car light as bright as daylight illuminated Ayase Origami's profile.
She glanced at him, stomped her feet on the ground, and shot forward ten meters.
Then, a huge train rumbled past her from behind, smashing through the ruins one after another. The whole world was rumbling and shaking.
"I say... this won't end, you will be the loser." The Blood Descendant said, "This train is a hundred meters long, and we have already destroyed thirty meters of the train. If we spend a little more time, we can destroy the entire train."
She paused, raised her red eyes and looked at Ke Qirui who appeared on the street corner. "The most critical problem is... your train demon is very strong, but it is too slow. It has no advantage against people with abilities like us. Even if you use a movie screen to attack with the train, we will react immediately. This means you have no means of attack at all."
Ke Qirui put the pipe back into the pocket of his windbreaker and said calmly, "You are right. My train demon is better at siege warfare than this kind of small and delicate battle. It is indeed a bit disadvantageous to fight against you."
"Right?" The Bloodline blinked. "It seems that you are very self-aware. I don't want to waste my time with you anymore. How about we both take a step back?"
Ayase Origami ordered the paper butterflies to eat the last building on the long street, then turned around and looked at Ke Qirui with empty and cold eyes.
"No... I never intended to defeat you from the beginning. My goal was just to hold you back."
After he finished speaking, a "ding" sound suddenly came from Ke Qirui's windbreaker pocket.
She raised an eyebrow, pulled out her phone, and glanced at the incoming message.
[Black Pupa: Ms. Ke, I have rescued your good sister "Ke Zinan". The other two members of the train group have also evacuated the auction site first.]
[Black Pupa: I suggest you think carefully about how to leave the auction house... Don't die there, or I'll be very troubled.]
"Failed? I thought we could capture at least one member."
Under the black moon, Ke Qirui sighed slightly. She originally thought that with the cooperation of Xia Pingzhou, Xu Sanyan and Lin Zhengquan, it would be no problem to kill Lan Duoduo during this period of time, but the situation seemed to be beyond her expectations.
She raised her eyes from the phone screen and slowly looked at the Blood Descendant and Ayase Origami.
"Then... let's say goodbye."
After saying this, Ke Qirui's figure disappeared into the movie screen behind him.
"Bye." The blood descendant grinned at her.
Ayase Origami stayed where she was, motionless, with the sleeves of her kimono swaying in the wind.
The two watched Ke Qirui's figure disappear from the spot, and then the movie world they were in quickly collapsed.
When they came to their senses, they had returned to the real auction venue. The whole world had returned to its colorful colors, and the warm white light of the crystal chandelier spread down, covering the figures of the Bloodline and Ayase Origami like a tide.
Lan Duoduo and Xia Pingzhou at the auction table glanced sideways at the same time.
"Hello, hey, hey, what's going on now?" Lan Duoduo asked blankly as he looked at the two people who suddenly appeared.
"Nothing, that train girl ran away." The Blood Descendant said calmly, "What about you guys?"
Xia Pingzhou said expressionlessly: "They ran away. I could have killed one, but the black pupa rushed out and rescued the person."
Bloodborn shrugged: "It doesn't matter, the bodyguards were all killed anyway."
Ayase Origami raised her eyes and stared at Xia Pingzhou motionlessly. She looked at him quietly for a while, and after confirming that he was not injured, she slowly withdrew her gaze.
At this moment, they suddenly turned their heads and looked at the wooden door at the end of the auction table.
They heard a dragon roar that shook the sky. This terrifying pressure penetrated the wooden door connecting to the mirror world and reached the auction house in the real world.
The four of them were stunned.
Ayase Origami and Natsuhira Hiru remained silent and looked at each other.
"Dragon?" The blood descendant raised his beautiful eyebrows.
"Oh my god, what's going on?" Lan Duoduo muttered, "Wait, can't it be..."
Lan Duoduo was the only one who knew the world. She looked at the world behind the door and said a name with a look of horror and suspicion:
"Red Dragon...Wales?"
At the same time, in the corridor on the fourth floor of Amemiya Building.
The black pupa embraced Su Zimai's head with his arms and smashed the glass curtain wall of the building. Then, with a loud noise, it fell towards the city accompanied by a rain of glass.
Amid the rumbling thunder, a real rainstorm came, carrying with it damp air that was so cold it made one's heart palpitate. The neon lights of Tokyo flickered in the rain.
While falling at high speed, Su Zimai looked out at the entire city. For some reason, even though she was flying in mid-air and could fall to the ground and be smashed into a pulp with a bang, she didn't feel panicked at all. She even... felt a little relieved.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Zimai buried his head in the guy's chest.
After a while, Hei Pupa used a restraint belt to grab the billboard of the Amemiya Building to stop the downward trend, and then swung towards the downtown area of Tokyo with Su Zimai, landing on an empty street. He tied a piece of eaves with a restraint belt and hung upside down under the eaves.
I turned around and saw a chain bookstore. The door was closed and the store was dark. It looked like it was not open for business today.
So Black Pupa used the restraints to pry open the door lock and then pushed the door open.
He flew into the bookstore, hung upside down under the ceiling, and slowly lowered the exhausted Su Zimai down with a restraint, letting her rest against the counter.
"Oh... why do I smell a strange smell?" Black Pupa sniffed and said suddenly.
"Shut up! This... this is the side effect of Tianqu!" Su Zimai was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he raised his hand to cover his wet suit pants.
"Okay, okay, side effects."
Hei Pupa tilted his head disapprovingly, "Ms. Su Zimai, you should be safe here. I told your team leader the location of this bookstore, and she will be here to pick you up soon."
He paused, and said quietly, "Then I suggest you stay as far away from the auction house as possible. There is a group of real monsters playing games on the rooftop right now. It's completely different from your little fights."
After saying that, Hei Pupa turned his head and looked outside the bookstore. The rain was pouring down the street. The strong wind blew into the bookstore, rolling up the movie posters on the bookshelf.
After a moment of silence, Su Zimai suddenly raised her head and looked at the black pupa's head, which was very close to her. She asked softly:
"Who...are you?"
"Black pupa."
"Let me ask you...are you my brother?" Su Zimai thought for a moment and asked again.
"Isn't your brother Blue Arc?"
"You're still trying to trick me! The captain and I already knew that my brother wasn't Blue Arc, but we were fooled by you, such a fool. How stupid..."
Su Zimai hugged his knees, lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, muttering angrily.
"Uh...does it matter who I am?"
Hei Pupa was hanging upside down below the ceiling, talking without raising his head, flipping through the book "My Sister Can't Be This Cute" in his hand.
Su Zimai was silent for a while, then said softly, "That's true... No matter who you are, whether you are my brother or not, I thank you."
"You're welcome. I have to go see how my partner named Lan and Arc is doing... I hope he doesn't die in the auction house, otherwise it would be such a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Pupa's figure suddenly disappeared under the ceiling of the bookstore.
After a while, the wooden door of the bookstore suddenly closed. The wind and rain stopped falling into the store, and the bookstore became quiet for a while.
Before leaving, Hei Pupa seemed to use the remote control to turn on the air conditioner and heating in the bookstore.
Amid the humming sound of the air conditioner, the bookstore gradually became warmer, and it was still raining heavily outside the window.
Su Zimai looked at the city in the rain, rested his chin on his bent knees, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
