Chapter 70 Hospitality
The daytime in Samimu Castle is like a Garden of Eden, a paradise full of order and rules.
But as beautiful as it is during the day, it becomes dirty at night.
The hot night wind blew on his cheeks, and Liucheng broke out in a cold sweat.
A few minutes ago, she was in the Central Library, reading a travel book. The book introduced the protagonist's experiences, the roads he had traveled, the various cities, the friends he gradually gathered, the geography, humanities, and the irreplaceable friendship between friends, from the perspective of a traveler. The book showed Liu Cheng the beautiful imperial style of that era.
But traveling is accompanied by separation, from one city to the next, parting with friends, or parting with friends through death, which wraps the joy of the journey with a layer of bitter sugar coating.
She accidentally got so absorbed in the reading that after she closed the book and savored the ending that made her sad, she looked up and realized that it was already dark.
Most of the public facilities in the city of Ranmu were managed automatically, with at most one man-made person wandering around. The Central Library was unattended, so Liu Cheng stayed there until night.
No one dared to break the rules in Ranmu Castle during the day, but now it is night.
The library is a public facility, and the door is open 24 hours a day, without any protective measures. However, Liu Cheng's rental house has fully enclosed doors and windows that she bought from the Superpower Guild with a year's salary, and even has power grids and other attack tools.
Liucheng weighed the pros and cons and decided to go home.
The library with its doors open didn't give her a sense of security.
She wrapped her face with the hood of her denim jacket, clutched the corners of her clothes, and walked hurriedly on the street, hoping to return safely to the rental house where she lived.
There was a sound of an explosion in the distance, a flash of fire, and the hot night wind blew the smell of gunpowder far away.
She knew that this was the group of people with special powers.
People with power will not be content with being ordinary. Under the extreme repression during the day, the night of Ranmu City is dangerous and disorderly. Indiscriminate killers, explosion lovers, gathering gangs of violent gangs, human trafficking forces, etc., continue to appear under the seemingly calm night sky.
There is a psychic guild in Ranmu City, but it is more like a decoration. There is no need for the psychic guild to maintain order during the day, and at night they will turn a blind eye to the chaos.
Because the chapter president also enjoys it.
And tonight, Orange is facing the force of human trafficking.
Her hair was pulled up, and the leader, wearing a sleeveless shirt and jacket, looked her up and down, then waved his hands for his men to lock her up with the others.
There are people who have just arrived in Ranmu City and don't know the rules yet, there are people who have forgotten the time like Liucheng, and there are even people who are directly kidnapped by them.
Staying in this small carriage, Liucheng looked at the desperate or unwilling eyes around her and realized that she might have to say goodbye to her dull daily life and the travel book she wanted to read a second time.
She came here because she longed for the order and peace of Samimu City during the day, and she will die because of it at night.
"Will anyone save us?" someone asked in a low voice.
No one answered him, because there would be no one.
The only thing that can save them is the sunrise, and their city lord wakes up from his dream.
"Mom, will a murderer appear? Kill them and let us go back." said a child who was tightly held by his mother.
Liu Cheng suddenly wanted to cry, because she knew that the child's innocent wish would never come true. Even if a murderer came, they would still die.
This is a night like always, a night of desire and destruction intertwined among the superpowers.
People like them who have no special abilities, or those with low-level special abilities, are ultimately just the bottom of society, the mud that cannot save itself.
In this narrow and crowded space, she could only feel the despair deep in her bones.
"It's a great harvest tonight. The doctor will be very happy." The leader said, counting the number of people as if he were counting chickens.
The vehicle started, and the superpower used his superpowers to fully arm the vehicle, and brought them back to the organization's base amid fire and noise.
They were driven out of the car like undignified animals, one by one.
To fit into a larger compartment.
"We have to get them out before daybreak." The team leader looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning.
"Team Seven hasn't come back yet." said another person.
"Then wait for them for ten minutes." said the leading team leader.
The door of the carriage was still open, and Liucheng could see the night sky outside the carriage.
It's not quiet at all, it's jarringly noisy.
"Where will we be transported?"
"I have already purchased the most advanced protective doors and windows from the Superpower Guild, so why was I still captured? How can I survive?"
"I regret it. I might as well stay in my hometown. The Qu family has just massacred the whole city. Maybe they won't attack us for a few years..."
"I miss my mom."
But Liu Cheng recalled the contents of the travel book and thought that the protagonist and her little apprentice also met in such a scene.
But the difference is that Liucheng is not the protagonist of the travelogue. She is not as powerful as the protagonist, who can have fun in the empire and save everyone at this time and make those people outside the car look bad.
At this moment, she could only hug herself tightly so that she could absorb a little warmth from the cold.
"It's so cold." she whispered.
There were car lights coming in the distance, it was the last group of people coming back.
Is her life already in countdown?
"Team seven, move faster!" the leader raised his voice and said to the fast-moving vehicles.
But soon his voice changed: "Wait! What are you doing!"
"Slow down! Slow down! Stop!"
Because the vehicle was rushing towards them without slowing down at all!
"C-rank! B-rank! Take action! Stop it! Stop it quickly!"
Following the leader's words, the superpowers unleashed their own superpowers, and a torrent of water rushed towards the desperate vehicle. At the same time, a wall of earth emerged from the ground.
"Bang!"
The mud wall was broken by the front of the car, and gravel and dust spread in the air. The vehicle jumped out, and the wheels spun rapidly in the air.
Under the moonlight, a shadow enveloped the leader and his eyes, which were wide open in shock.
Then press down hard.
"Boss!"
The psychics tried frantically to lift the vehicle, but the strange thing was that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't lift the vehicle that had stopped abruptly.
A light laugh echoed in the night.
Liucheng looked in shock at the vehicle that was only ten meters away from them, and the psychics who were surrounding the vehicle and making funny car-lifting gestures.
At the same time, she also saw the young man's figure revealed on the carriage after the dust cleared.
Standing there, her clothes fluttered in the sharp wind. The mere movement of standing seemed as if her toes weighed a thousand pounds, making it impossible for the group of psychics below to shake her at all.
The dust dissipated with the wind, revealing the young man's proud eyebrows and a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the moon quietly illuminated the outline of the young man behind him.
It's like a god.
"Good night." The young man lowered his eyes, his black hair swaying in the wind and falling beside his cheeks. "Your friends invited me to come and have a look, so I came."
The psychic below raised his head and stretched his neck to look upward.
"But you don't seem to have any sincerity?" The voice was somewhat nonchalant, and the young man narrowed his red pupils slightly, looking down at the psychics who were trying to attack.
The magic psychics released their powers, and water columns gushed upwards with electricity, and barbs appeared on the ground, as if they were going to cut the vehicle in half. The mimicry psychics changed their forms, and jumped to the top of the vehicle with their flexible or extremely lethal bodies.
"Mom, will he die?" the child asked.
His mother lowered her eyes and covered his eyes with her hands.
In the center of the attack by many psychics, Liu Cheng saw that person casually raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
“Pah.”
The water column turned around, the earth spikes shattered, and instantly all attacks were returned to the original place with an impact!
"Bang!"
The mimicry-type psychics fell to the ground under the impact, the magic-type psychic was attacked by his own power, smoke and dust rose up, but at the center of the incident, the young man withdrew his hand leisurely, the smile on his face never fading.
It's as if all the superpowers here are just weak ants.
During this time the young man did not even move a step.
"How boring." said the young man.
The young man lifted his boots and seemed to put his feet down lightly on the roof of the car.
The vehicle was crushed instantly, and the psychics surrounding the vehicle were blown away. The huge impact force even caused the vehicle that Liucheng and the others were in to slide forward several meters.
"That's amazing." Someone couldn't help but say.
Liu Cheng stared at the figure under the smoke in a daze.
The long swords were lined up in the air, and as the young man jumped off the roof of the car with light steps, they shot out in all directions, piercing all the psychics outside the car to the ground.
"Bang!"
The vehicle exploded behind the young man, and the hem of his black windbreaker flew in the flames, but the flames could not touch him at all.
The young man approached them with his boots tapping on the ground.
'Will he kill me? ' thought Orange.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" someone cried.
The young man paused.
Then he turned around and walked directly towards the base of the organization, and his figure disappeared behind the gate.
"...Saved?" A trembling voice sounded in the suddenly silent carriage.
"It seems so."
"Who is that person?"
"Don't worry about who he is, just run away while he's away!"
In an instant, the people in the carriage began to get restless, scrambling to jump out of the carriage and running towards home.
"Wait, this is still very dangerous!" Liucheng was pushed down and turned to look at the door.
'Is he saving us? ' she thought.
In this world that has already made her despair, will anyone really reach out to these people at the bottom of the mud?
Just like the protagonist of that travel book, strong and gentle?
...
The phone vibrated, Li Li took it out and answered the call: "Hello? What's up?"
It was An Heyu on the other end of the phone: "Where are you?"
Li Li looked around and found it was an unfamiliar garage.
She looked down at her feet again and saw that the sole of her boots was stepping on the head of an A-rank psychic.
"The room is a bit stuffy, so I came out to get some fresh air." Li Li said, lowering her head and asking, "Where is this place?"
The superpower under his feet said with a trembling voice: "No. 18, 4th Street, District 3."
So Li Li said to her phone, "No. 18, 4th Street, District 3."
An Heyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while.
"Can I ask you what you just did?" he asked.
Li Li thought for a moment and said, "Being invited to someone's home as a guest?"
The superpower under his feet burst into tears: "Please let me go! I can give you anything!"
The background noise was a little loud. Li Li put down her boots with ease and kicked the psychic aside.
An Heyu was silent for a while.
"...Just stay there and don't move. I'll be there soon." He finally said.
