On the busy street, a young man with a naked upper body and blood stains stumbled and ran.
Pedestrians passed by him. Although some people would instinctively look at him after being bumped into by the young man, the vast majority of people walked on the street expressionlessly with a wooden face, indifferent and stiff, like He is like a marionette who is indifferent to everything happening in the outside world.
From beginning to end, no one tried to lend a helping hand to him.
Huh&ash;&ash;huh&ash;&ash;huh&ash;&ash;
The vigorous running made the injured body even weaker. The rough road and scattered stones on the road made my feet hurt. The street was filled with an unpleasant and pungent smell, but when it came to life and death, I no longer cared about so many things. Young people He opened his mouth wide without any disdain and greedily grabbed more oxygen. He endured the bursts of pain in his shoulders, back and feet, took bigger steps, knocked away pedestrians and ran blindly towards the end point where he didn't know where he was. .
No matter where the destination is, as long as we can escape the pursuit of the inquisitor behind us.
Before those inquisitors rushed into the room, inspired by the twisted and blasphemous noodle god, the young man had already foreseen the conflict that would follow and was prepared. When the first explosion set off a wave of air, the entire room was shaken. When they were all filled with smoke and dust, he struggled to free himself from the meat hook, and used his power to corrode the barrier according to the noodle god's instructions. Finally, he was able to escape while Thomas fought to the death with the inquisitors and the ceiling collapsed.
It's just that running barefoot seriously affected his speed, and the blood that continued to seep from the wound became an important mark for the opponent to track him.
found it! Heretics are there!
Several inquisitors followed the blood trail and soon discovered the young man's figure escaping in a hurry among the crowd.
It wasn't until the Inquisitor of the Inquisition appeared that the lifeless people on the street changed a little. Fear appeared in their dull eyes, and they no longer behaved like puppets being manipulated. People suddenly panicked. Get up and run away in panic.
Not to mention the Inquisition hunting down young men covered in wounds, even when someone is violent, torturing, or even killing another person in the street, they will avoid it, fearing that they will get into trouble if they take one step too late. .
Even if they had the ability to prevent the tragedy from happening, they would not lend a helping hand.
Stay aloof, mind your own business, and stay out of trouble.
This is an indispensable skill if you want to survive in the neighborhood for a long time, because most people who like to meddle in other people's business die quickly.
But it was too late for them to think about avoiding it at this time.
Don't let him get away!
At this time, the knights who discovered the target had already begun to charge. The standard leg armor and boots emitted a soft and extraordinary aura. Protected by the triple enchantments of swiftness, agility, and windwalking, the heavily armored knights were like out-of-control trucks running through the crowd. Charge towards the young man.
The pedestrian who couldn't dodge was knocked into the air by the knight, and his limbs were scattered in mid-air.
Rain of blood flew away, and pieces of flesh and broken limbs whose belongings were unknown flew together.
The charge plunged the crowd into complete chaos. Those who were charged wanted to escape. Pedestrians who had not yet been affected wanted to avoid the knight's charge line. Pedestrians further away who did not know the truth were because of the spread of panic ahead. fell into chaos.
People at the fork in the intersection all want to rush into the intersection. People facing the knight want to retreat and escape. People who want to escape often rush to rush in one direction. People push each other and are hit by the knight's charge. He fell down, was pushed down by others who were fleeing in a hurry, and was tripped by others while fleeing.
The pedestrians who fell to the ground were crying and screaming, trying to escape from this hell, but no matter how hard they struggled, they would find in despair that they could not stand up from the ground with their own strength alone, and people would constantly trample their bodies into the crowd. Squeeze away, and eventually the sound becomes smaller and smaller.
The young man also heard the approaching sounds from behind. He subconsciously turned around and saw that a knight covered in blood had already pushed away from the crowd and approached him. He only had time to raise his hands to protect him.
He held his chest vitals, and the next second the knight galloping like a bull bumped into him solidly.
Bang! ..dash;&ash;If it weren't for the runes on it still functioning normally and the effects of the extraordinary spells not weakening at all, he would have wondered whether there was something wrong with his equipment.
Only the young man himself knew that the moment the knight collided with him, a slippery and sticky off-white tentacle appeared in front of him, helping him block most of the impact and force. If it were not for the flying Blessed by the tentacles of Mian Dasheng, he may not be as simple as breaking one or two ribs now.
But there was no room for optimism in this situation. The tentacle protection could only protect him for a moment. Although the knight who had knocked him away stopped, there were more knights around him who were rushing through the crowd and rushing towards him.
This frightened the young man and aroused a strong desire to survive. He rolled and struggled to get up from the ground. While weakly shaking off the crowd around him, he offered a cry for help to the god he just believed in in his heart. Pray: I’ll cook! Damn it! If you don't show your spirit again, the divine choice you just received will kneel down!
Chaotic and noisy whispers echoed in his ears, as if two indescribable beings were arguing in his ears, making people feel crazy, but soon the madness faded, one of the voices slowly weakened, and the god's response gradually becomes clear.
What? Do you want him to learn to work harder on his own occasionally and stop asking God for help in everything? I won't die, I just have to suffer a little. Let me think about what to say to him? Um, okay cough, ei, dear believer, zai?
young people:
Is it too late for me to change my faith now?
Elizabeth.
Zhao Sida and Elizabeth were walking side by side on the busy street. She pulled the blue-haired girl beside her and whispered, "Remember, we are doing this in secret this time. Don't think about running around."
The doll girl's delicate and beautiful face is hidden in the shadow of the hood, and the wide cloak wraps her whole body tightly. Although this kind of dress may look a bit suspicious, it is far from ordinary in the neighborhoods of Apocalypse City. Attention-grabbing level.
I know, I know, but compared to the cautious doll girl, Elizabeth on the side didn't seem so caring. She looked around and said absently: But no matter how we hide, they will come to our door, right? Is it really necessary to do this useless work?
Since the last time she was attacked by the Church in the snowfield outside the wall, she has acted more cautiously than before and used a series of counter-reconnaissance countermeasures to try to throw off the Church's pursuit.
While moving forward, you consciously cover up the trajectory of your actions.
Use supernatural spells to disrupt divination and prophecy spells directed against you.
Avoid appearing in front of others to avoid leaving witness evidence and being tracked.
Or abandon the best planned route and temporarily choose a route to take a detour.
It can be said that Zhao Sida has taken all anti-reconnaissance countermeasures.
Even so, they would be ambushed and attacked again every three days, and the intensity of the ambush and attacks was increasing.
At least most of the trouble can be avoided. Zhao Sida pulled down the brim of her hood, her petite body retracted under the cloak, and her voice was cold and calm: After using anti-divination and anti-prophecy methods, disguised herself, concealed her aura and reduced her appearance, the frequency of ambushes and attacks by the opponent has dropped by nearly 10%. Thirty percent. The frequency has only increased since we entered Apocalypse City, which is enough to indirectly prove that the other party has locked our whereabouts through similar means.
The doll girl found that Elizabeth beside her suddenly stopped and stared at something, and then asked: What are you looking at?
Hmm~ Elizabeth replied absentmindedly, we were just thinking, Apocalypse City is so lively.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Sida immediately became extremely vigilant: I want to remind you in advance that we managed to get in, so don't cause too many troubles.
But the blue-haired girl pointed towards the distance, and things seemed to come to her door.
Zhao Sida looked in the direction of her finger. A human-shaped black shadow had crossed the top of the parabola and was rapidly descending towards them.
.
It was a young man, naked from the waist up and covered in wounds.
In addition to the people falling from the sky, the crowd in front was also flashing with groups of extraordinary auras, one of which had torn apart the crowd and rushed in front of them.
It was a heavily armed church knight.
Zhao Sida recognized at a glance that this knight was dressed exactly the same as the knights who had led the team to attack them several times before.
There are also heretics who have sneaked into the Holy City! The sacred and ethereal apocalypse echoed in his ears, allowing the knight to recognize their identities at a glance. He immediately gave up the pursuit of the heretic youth, directly pulled out the big sword from his waist and slashed at the petite heretic: A soulless can! Die! Heretics shall be punished by heaven!
The great sword shone with extraordinary spiritual light, and the sword carried extraordinary energy that was constantly surging. It stretched the length of the sword out of thin air, turning it into an indestructible giant sword made of light, and rolled up a gust of wind pressure. He opened the hood that the doll girl used to hide her face and took it straight to her fair and slender neck.
But the sword hit the empty space.
The doll girl has fought against this kind of knight monster many times over the past few days, and has already established a calculation model for them. She avoided the attack at the most extreme distance, and the sword of light scraped her fair and delicate skin. No scratches left.
At the same time, she raised her left hand toward the knight, straightening her index finger and thumb to make a gun gesture.
The thumb is slightly bent.
boom!
She said softly.
Fire erupted from her fingertips, and the plate armor on the armored knight's chest instantly dented a large area as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and the whole person flew backwards.
Then she jumped up lightly, walking through the air as if the air was supporting her, and continued to climb higher until she was close to the fallen young man.
Waving his right hand, the puppet silk weaved a net to catch the young man who fell.
The girl stepped on the air and hovered in mid-air, her hair flying, and her cloak rustling in the wind.
If you look closely, you will find that there are several looming transparent silk threads intertwined under her feet, and she is standing on these threads in mid-air, overlooking the surrounding situation from a high place.
More inquisitors are coming, and there is a faint sign of encirclement.
It seemed that if the battle could not be resolved quickly, the church knights who arrived one after another would be dragged into a protracted battle and fall into an unfavorable situation. Zhao Sida also saw the other party's intention, suddenly tightened the puppet string in her hand, and led the young man from Falling rapidly in the air, Elizabeth!
okay!
A clear female voice full of vitality and youthful fire echoed on the street.
The connection at the conceptual level was silently established, and the space around the three people suddenly became distorted and illusory, like ripples spreading outward from the space of a lake where stones were thrown, and the originally coherent spatial directions were quietly misaligned.
spatial connection.
Connecting any several points in the three-dimensional space, the charging knights also bumped into them.
In an instant, the knights, young people, Zhao Sida and Elizabeth disappeared from the place at the same time. The next second, the armored knights who were so dizzy that they couldn't find the north appeared randomly in mid-air, like dumplings dropped from ten. Duomi fell to the ground in the air.
When the chaos caused by the spatial dislocation gradually subsided, the knights discovered that the three people had already disappeared.
