Cardiff has experienced that era fifty years ago, so he has the most say. Although Magician and Catwoman use their abilities very skillfully, their energy levels have dropped significantly. It is equivalent to using skills to make up for strength.
An act of desperation.
After experiencing the Hongli Federation era seventy years ago and fifty years ago, compare it with the current Hongli Federation. Card Xiu can clearly feel the shrinkage of his extraordinary power. This is not just a change brought about by human technology, but perhaps a deeper reason.
After patting the dust on his body, he looked at the two figures that were about to disappear at the end of the road and took steps to chase them.
Half a minute later.
Three figures cautiously walked out from the stone.
"Yana, Luo, let's go back to the villa...Uncle Solo is right, the Anta Mountains are too dangerous." Under the pale moonlight, the red-haired boy Ali had a look of shock on his face.
"Huh... Fortunately, the monster called the Golem didn't notice us, otherwise it would have been over." The girl in a white dress patted her chest, and the bulge that was beginning to take shape swayed.
"you are wrong."
Suddenly, the green-eyed boy said with a low expression: "The devil has discovered the three of us, but it was attracted away by a more valuable prey. Moreover, it seriously misestimated the strength of that prey. The original hunter became The prey..."
The young man named Luo has good observation skills, at least more careful than his two friends. He pressed his temples with a headache and looked at the pothole not far away with his green eyes.
Those were the traces left by the steam golem being blown up by Ka Xiu.
It's about half the size of a person in diameter and pitch black. Surrounded by scattered stones and silvery metal blocks reflecting the moonlight.
"Let's go! There may be danger if we stay here!"
Luo looked away, and his two companions, Ali and Yana, set off together. Return along the original road and head towards Blue Star Villa.
the other side.
In the dense forest of the Anta Mountains, the open spaces are full of pits and filled with fallen leaves. The flickering white moonlight shines through the gaps in the trees and onto the ground, revealing a sense of coolness and silence.
Ta-ta-ta...ta-ta-ta...
A series of rapid footsteps echoed in the forest.
A slim figure shuttled between the dense tree trunks, nimbly and quickly. It constantly uses its claws to offset the inertia, allowing itself to escape in a straight direction at a faster speed.
From behind, another figure rushed over quickly.
A magician who dresses like a gentleman can no longer be called a gentleman now. There were many scratches on the clothes on his body, and the high hat on his head was missing. He didn't know where he dropped it.
Phew~
A cold wind-like air blew through the open space.
In the hazy black and gray mist, a figure walked out from inside. It was made of metal rocks, and it was still a demon!
The two red eyes stared closely at the magician not far away, with an indifferent will to kill that was different from the wild.
"Another one! How come there are so many demon dolls? Counting the first one, I have already met four of them!" The magician had a huge headache. With his strength, he could only deal with a single steam demon doll. Barely holding on, let alone four. Moreover, the magician's current condition is not very good. The hidden weapons and props were consumed too much in the fight with Catwoman just now, and his combat ability is weakened.
So faced with this situation.
There is only one way.
That is: run!
In fact, theoretically speaking, Magician and Catwoman should not be able to outrun the steam golem, and they can only challenge it head-on. So this is why the Magician just proposed to join forces with Catwoman.
But Catwoman Haisa chose another method. She ran faster than the magician anyway, and the first person the steam golem caught up with was definitely the magician. In that case, although she can't do anything to the steam golem, the magician will definitely be embarrassed.
Even serious injury or death is possible.
Haisa is a very vindictive person.
However, it has been a long time since I first encountered the steam golem. The magician was not even caught up. When he looked back, his vision was obscured by the black and gray mist. I can only be glad that I ran fast enough, and even the steam golem couldn't catch up!
Bang!
The fist hit the front like a hammer, and a hard and powerful steam golem exploded on the spot. It cracked in all directions from the chest, and gravel splashed onto the tree trunk and hit the ground.
The stone was as powerful as a bullet, sinking deeply into the surface of the tree trunk. The bark burst open, revealing the yellow-white wood underneath.
Ka Xiu glanced at the dust and mist all around him, and a burst of white air immediately appeared in his right hand. The air rotates at high speed in the palm of the hand, gathering like a small tornado.
The palms are closed together, and a burst of air instantly spreads out.
The surrounding black and gray fog that obscured his vision was immediately blown away.
He looked forward and saw the magician's hasty back and a steam golem rushing towards him.
"Why do these kind of bastards come over and over again...the surrounding locations are randomly refreshed? And the devils seem to be slowly getting stronger?"
Card Xiu patted the lime on his hand. He had just killed five steam golems, and the number was increasing. The attack mechanism of these golems seems to be those with the strongest life essence within the range, so Card Xiu is now like a large electric lamp.
Mosquitoes and moths kept coming from the forest.
Then he was burned to death and scalded to death.
On the contrary, the Catwoman and Magician who escaped in front did not receive much threat. They basically had a brief battle with the steam golem and then escaped. The forced retreating steam golem will soon notice the chasing card repairman and die generously.
In the process, Card Xiu began to appreciate the embarrassed magician more and more. This guy is a talent and always breaks the game in unexpected ways. For example, when encountering the third steam golem, the magician pretended to escape, but during the escape process, he laid out wires that were invisible to the naked eye at night.
The steel wire was controlled by telepathy, and both ends were deeply embedded in the left and right tree trunks. The unnoticed steam golem ran over, and with a final burst of sparks, its metal helmet-like head fell off. He cut off his own head with his own strength, but it was a little bit regretful.
Steam Golem also has strong regenerative power.
Although not as exaggerated as immortality, destroying the golem also requires destroying or dismembering most of its body tissues.
Therefore, the steam golem still came to life.
Then he was punched and blasted by Ka Xiu who came after him.
Under the moonlight, Ka Xiu strode forward. A few dozen meters away diagonally across the way, a steam golem rushed toward him tremblingly.
"Why is this demon running in such a weird way?"
Ka Xiu suddenly felt wary, and he immediately took a few steps back. Then, using several surrounding trees as obstacles, the movement pulled the steam golem. This is based on the fact that the card repair speed is faster. If you are a normal person, it is not recommended to try this.
After a few seconds, he came to a conclusion.
It was the same magician who used telekinesis to manipulate wires to get close to the steam golem. Then a knot was tied around the devil's ankle to resemble a shackle.
In this way, the forward speed of the steam golem is limited. It cannot take long steps and catch up with the magician. Unlike normal humans, golems do not have autonomous consciousness.
You won’t feel something is wrong with your feet and bend over to fix it.
Next, either the metal wire broke under the force impact again and again, or the steam golem's legs broke.
No matter which one happened.
The magician has already solved the urgent problem.
A few meters away from Ka Xiu, the steam golem moved its legs in weird movements, with a bright silver thread wrapped around its ankles.
"interesting."
Before he finished speaking, an afterimage flashed in front of the demon puppet.
A hand like iron pincers directly lifted the heavy rock golem and caught it in mid-air with ease.
Whoosh!
The arm cut through the air like a rock-white javelin, smashing through the chest of the demon doll with a roar. A large cloud of stone powder exploded behind him, mixing with the cold gray-black steam to form a vortex.
Card Xiu raised his arms, and the devil split from the middle.
He retracted his right hand with lightning speed, and in his palm was a special steel wire as thick as a hair, which had a sharp and cold feeling.
Ka Xiu squeezed it under the moonlight and gently spread his hands to both sides. The wire snapped, curled up as it broke.
This magician is an interesting person, or he can use his brain a little more than normal extraordinary people, and he has a relatively bright mind.
In the retrospect of the Bronze Ring, Cardiff has seen the power of numbers. If everyone stands shoulder to shoulder, Black Rain Villa will be ruthlessly defeated. If Ka Xiu was the only one in the final battle, it would be absolutely impossible to complete the Dusk Obsession.
That feeling of being able to respond to everything is really refreshing.
Returning to the real world, Cardiff happens to be the fourth in command of the assassination department of the "A" organization. Logically speaking, he should have his own assassination team and many subordinates. The "Ace of Spades" organization would gladly pay for it if he was serious about forming one.
As for the people, they are mostly transferred killers.
Card Xiu doesn't like it very much. Although he can gradually develop the team, there must be one or two people who can do things first.
A magician, a person with telekinesis ability, whose strength is not weak. His fighting style is sleek and cunning, and his moves are unique. He is also quite cautious and adaptable. Maybe it can be a good help indeed.
Ka Xiu was so excited that he strode after him again.
Five minutes later, there was a clearing in the forest.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The magician gasped, his chest rising and falling violently. The lining of his suit was completely soaked and dripping with sweat.
After all, she doesn't have a physique like Catwoman. A telepathic master relies on telekinesis, not physical fitness. Naturally, after running for one's life at high intensity for a long time, one's physical strength will drain out very quickly.
"Huh..." He breathed heavily.
Looking back, I saw a cloud of fog approaching quickly.
"Damn it! The devil is still chasing me!"
The magician turned around and flicked his right hand, and the two steel balls immediately flew out, making two swishing sounds accelerated by the power of his mind.
And he didn't bother to check the results, he just ran away with an even paler complexion. The magician's telepathy power was almost exhausted.
The gray-black mist stayed in place for a few seconds.
A tall figure walked out of it. He was holding a distorted steel helmet in his left hand and two steel balls in his right hand. Card Xiu looked at the tired figure of the magician and whispered silently: "It's still too weak. Is this the limit..."
Along the way, Kaxiu has been hanging far behind the magician. Neither show up nor give up. Sometimes the magician can no longer hold on any longer, so he moves forward a short distance to lure the steam golem away. Always keep the magician on one string.
Card Xiu just wanted to see what kind of temperament the magician would reveal under the pressure of life and death for a long time. This was a test.
If the magician succeeds in the trial, he can become Card Xiu's subordinate.
Magician: Thank you for thinking so highly of me and finding this way to torture me. At the same time, thank you for your eighteen generations of ancestors.
************************
At the same time, on the other side, near Blue Star Villa.
Yana, Luo, and Ali finally ran back to the concrete road. His whole body was covered in hot sweat, and his cheeks were red and hot.
They ran all the way back, mainly out of fear.
After all, you are still a teenager, so it is normal to feel fear.
Even adults mostly react this way.
"Huh... I finally escaped. I'm so exhausted." Yana hammered her slender white calves, her long hair sticking to her cheeks.
"Huh? Why is it foggy?"
The red-haired boy Ali looked around and saw gray mist floating on both sides of the road, spreading in all directions like flowing sea water. The moonlight fell, giving off a hazy color.
The green-eyed boy Luo also raised his head and looked into the distance. There was the Blue Star Villa. At this moment, the entire Villa was shrouded in fog. It's like a huge thing entrenched in the clouds, strange and strange.
The thick fog is layer by layer, inside the villa that cannot be seen.
The gray mist rolled and seemed to make a rustling sound on the buildings and the ground, like a soft gauze.
The villa is very quiet, without any noise.
In each residential room, each staff member's post. They were all sleeping quietly, either lying on the bed, leaning next to the toilet, or leaning on the ground.
Snap!
A pair of black boots broke the silence.
In the mist, a group of men in black walked into the villa. Everyone wears a skull-shaped silver dial on their right hand.
The surface of the shoulder clothing is branded with a white clock logo.
At the front of the team, a man with three silver rings on his hands stopped and raised his head. He has pale skin, a prominent hooked nose, curly brown hair, and indifferent eyes. There is a sinister temperament about him, which is quite oppressive.
He slowly lowered his head.
Lying on the ground was a man wearing a security uniform.
"These pigs are all asleep...hehe..."
The man sneered and then stepped on it. There was a thud on the ground, dust flew into the sky, and the soles of the men behind him felt numb.
"How many people are there in Blue Star Villa?" he asked.
"Report to captain, two hundred and nineteen people."
Someone answered.
"That should be enough. If not, why don't we go down the mountain to grab some more? They are just ordinary pigs anyway, and they are just good as consumables."
A cruel smile appeared on the curly-haired man's face.
Immediately, the group of people walked towards the center of the villa without stopping. There was only a headless corpse left on the spot, and a series of bloody footprints that gradually spread, like the traces of a devil walking by.
