Chapter 809 Church? (please vote for the big chapter)
The silent night wind swept through the streets, and the panicked white-robed priests carefully chased away into the depths of the night.
Behind them, on the tall building that still had half of it, the young boy covered in blood glanced at the white-robed priests who were chasing away. He stretched out his hand, picked up the red scarf on the side, shook off the dust, and gently
They kneaded them together gently and wrapped them around their bodies.
Then he turned around, took one last look at the direction in which the white-robed priests were leaving, then turned around and left in the completely opposite direction.
——
storm zone
In the quiet alley, the red-haired woman raised her head and stared at the crowd approaching step by step at the end of the alley.
At this moment, the towering wall blocked her escape route, and fine wounds were all over her body, making her originally delicate and beautiful red dress look a little tattered.
"Miss Lena,"
The leading bald man stared at her indifferently, "I think you know what we want. Tell you what you experienced last night, tell everything you know, and you can leave here. We will also pay you extra.
An 80 million commission."
"Do you think I would trust an 'employer' who was ready to kill me last night?"
Lena stared at the bald man and the person standing behind him. She held the dark dagger in her hand with mockery in her voice.
"Okay, let me put it another way,"
The bald man glanced at Lena's delicate and beautiful cheeks and said, "If you are willing to cooperate, I will give you a decent ending."
With a smile on his face, he said, "You deliberately lured us away to create opportunities for your companions, right? Obviously, you are going to be disappointed. You don't know what kind of existence your companions will encounter. Now he may have already
Even the complete corpses are gone."
Lena's face darkened.
"Your injuries are not light. Your C-class extraordinary item is good, but do you think you can defeat us with it?"
The bald man approached Lena step by step. His voice was low, with a certain sense of irresistible oppression.
"Cooperate with us and tell us everything you know, and you will have a more beautiful ending. You don't want to be like your companions who can't even leave a complete skeleton, right?
"As mercenaries, don't you go wherever you have the money? Do you really have any professional ethics?"
"Don't make your assumptions sound like they've already happened,"
Lena raised her hand, and the dark dagger danced in her hand, from the tip upward to downward. She took a deep breath, "And I'm not standing here for someone, but for myself."
it's here."
"Stubborn fool."
The bald man's expression completely darkened. He stopped and said in a cold voice, "Take her."
Several figures behind him rushed out instantly.
And he took half a step back and blocked the entrance of the alleyway.
There seemed to be the sound of a motorcade speeding through the streets in the distance.
Lena also heard the sound and glanced at the entrance of the alley.
Now not only the people from the Eternal Old Religion are looking for her, but also the people from the Eternal Esoteric Religion are looking for her. Of course, the people from the Eternal Esoteric Religion are also looking for people from the Eternal Old Religion.
But she no longer had so much time to think about this. Looking at the approaching figures, she raised her hands in a defensive posture.
There were five people coming all the way. They formed a V-shaped formation, sealed the entire alleyway, and quickly closed the distance with Lena.
The two people in the front row came into contact with Lena first.
Each of them had a short knife in their hands, and they struck at Lena one from the left and the other from the right.
Lena tilted her body, raised the dagger to hold the dagger on the left, and then kicked the person on the right in the lower abdomen.
The man on the right was kicked away, hit the wall behind him, and sank in.
At this moment, the people in the second row had already arrived in front of Lena.
The person on the right side of the second row stabbed Lena straight with a thin sword.
Lena immediately ducked on her side, but at that moment, someone from the left side of the second row thrust forward. She was unable to dodge and was stabbed directly through the left side of her abdomen.
She suddenly raised her hand and used the dagger to deflect the short knife of the person on the left side of the first row. Then, just when she was about to cut the figure on the left side of the second row that pierced her left abdomen, a broad hammer came out.
It hit her head-on, hitting her chest and sending her flying.
It hit the wall at the end of the alley with a loud bang.
The five people gathered together again and stared at her calmly.
The first four of these five people are all the top ones in the D-class, and the last one seems to be already a C-class.
Lena could feel that they were not using all their strength, it was just a small trial confrontation.
"Are you going to struggle any more?"
The bald man's voice came from the deepest part of the darkness.
Sitting among the broken bricks and stones, Lena stared at the figure that obscured her sight.
She knew very well that if the other party had one more round, she would die.
A slight cold feeling fell on her cheek, which was the snowflakes melting on her face.
The sky started to snow again.
She has not experienced such a desperate situation for a long, long time.
At this moment, she seemed to recall the time when she was in the quagmire of Storm Tower, facing those much taller waifs who wanted to steal her last piece of bread.
She staggered up from the pile of bricks and took out a glowing red mithril test tube from her arms.
The last words the boy said to her when they parted echoed in her ears.
Warriors, born to die.
The blood stained her red dress. She bit the cork of the mithril test tube with her white teeth and pulled out the cork.
"Stop her."
The cold voice of the bald man sounded behind everyone.
The five people immediately raised their legs and rushed towards her.
Lena bit the test tube, raised her head, poured the liquid in the test tube into her mouth, and raised the dagger to face the five people who were rushing towards her.
None of her achievements in this life were 'gifts' from others.
The hot and slightly corrosive liquid passed through her throat and flowed into her lungs. The twisted power spread throughout her body with intense pain.
She gritted her teeth, hummed, and without stopping, she raised her dagger and charged towards the five people coming towards her again.
The dark sword light danced in the darkness, wiping across the neck of the man with the short knife on the left. Then the knife turned over, the tip of the knife moved forward, and stabbed into the heart of the man on the left in the second row.
All this happened at an extremely fast speed, and the scattered light appeared on the skin of the remaining three figures in an instant.
The man with the short sword on the right struck at her with terrifying power. At the same time, the last C-class figure also raised his giant hammer.
She turned sideways suddenly, popping out the black dagger in her hand to block the giant hammer from the last C-class figure, and then leaned back to avoid the thin sword stabbed by the figure in the middle.
At the same time, her slender thighs covered with black stockings were raised high, and her toes suddenly kicked the wrist of the man with the short sword.
The man with the dagger let go in pain, and the dagger flew out.
At the same time, the black dagger streaked across the sky with a stream of light, piercing the neck of the man with the short knife.
The figure with the rapier raised the sword and stabbed it down, but she rolled past her.
At this time, the dagger she had just kicked away landed just above where her footsteps stopped after rolling. She reached out her hand, caught the dagger, and then threw it forward.
The sharp dagger pierced the heart of the rapier figure, causing his body to hit the wall backwards.
At this time, the last figure holding a sledgehammer rushed over.
Lena raised her hand, and the black dagger spun in a circle and fell into her palm. She held the dagger secretly again, took a step forward, and hit the giant hammer forcefully.
boom--
Following the crisp sound, the giant hammer figure raised his head and looked at the red-haired woman's white face splattered with blood.
At this moment, he felt that the beautiful face was as scary as a devil, a twisted sense of panic spread in his heart, and the movements of his hands trembled subconsciously.
Lena immediately pulled forward and slashed the dark dagger across the night sky, slicing the neck of the giant hammer figure.
With the sound of the giant hammer figure falling to the ground, Lena paused slightly and was about to take a breath. At this moment, a huge force grabbed her neck and lifted her up directly, taking her with her.
The body hit the wall next to him with a loud bang, causing countless flying rocks to fly.
"Interesting, promotion on the spot? With this increase, are you a 'warrior'?"
The bald man with golden lines all over his body looked at Lena, strangled her neck with one hand, and pinched her wrist with the other hand, twisting her violently.
As soon as Lena's wrist was loosened, the bald man snatched the dagger from her, then suddenly raised the hand that was holding her neck, and threw her out, hitting the ground like a rag.
"how come···"
Lena sat up with difficulty, spit out a mouthful of blood, and stared at the bald man in shock.
"It seems you don't know enough about the extraordinary world. Don't confuse me with these trash,"
The bald man played with the dagger in his hand and made a wild dance. The dagger trembled and tried to break away from his grasp, but he could not break free no matter what.
"Warriors are indeed a very strong talent sequence, but in many cases, the gap between C-level and C-level is as big as that between a human and a dog. Especially for us gifted believers, the power of gods is beyond your imagination."
"It's just trading someone else's life for your own strength."
Lena stood up staggeringly, spat out the blood in her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth, raised her leg and kicked up the spur on the ground, holding it in her hand.
Then without hesitation, he stabbed at the bald man.
The bald man raised his dagger, avoided Lena's stab, and then kicked out fiercely, sending Lena flying out and hitting the innermost wall again.
After two impacts, the thick wall finally collapsed completely, revealing the empty and abandoned space inside.
The next second, the bald man appeared in front of the red-haired woman lying in the bricks. When Lena got up with difficulty, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, lifted her up, and with a bang again
Hit the wall nearby.
"You have one last chance."
The tall shadow completely covered the woman's delicate body. The bald man lowered his head and played with the dark dagger in his hand. "It should be fun to kill you with your dagger?"
The sharp dagger moved forward little by little, and with violent trembling, followed the bald man's sideways thumb and pressed against the woman's fair neck.
As fine blood stains emerged from the fair skin, a ferocious smile appeared on the bald man's cheek. He looked at Lena and said slowly,
"As a C-level warrior, you are now qualified to be recruited. For 100 million federal coins, how about telling me everything you know and joining us?"
The moment she heard the price, Lena was obviously stunned.
"You should know the strength of our old religion. For us, this money can be given. I think your companion cannot afford such a high price. Even in the entire federation, not many people can.
Give me this price."
Seeing this scene, the bald man smiled, his voice was low, like a devil's whisper,
"Think about it, you are just a mercenary. You have no responsibility to keep secrets for anyone. After your client dies, no one will know that you made this transaction."
Lena raised her eyes with difficulty, the bald man's movements almost completely suffocated her. She stared at the bald man, and the words slowly and hard filled her throat.
"You are just a mercenary with a humble background. Standing is nothing to you. You know how to choose."
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the bald man's face, he loosened his palms slightly, and distanced himself slightly.
boom--
The hard leather boots covered with iron hit the bald man between the legs.
The bald man's expression instantly turned ferocious.
"Feel sorry,"
On the red-haired woman's pale cheeks, her blood-stained lips slowly raised, "A mercenary from a humble background, doesn't know much about etiquette."
She tried to break free from the control, but failed. The bald man's hand on her neck never completely let go.
"It seems you really want to die."
The bald man's cheeks completely sank. He violently grabbed Lena's neck and pressed her against the wall.
He slowly inhaled the cold air from the corner of his mouth, his face became colder and colder, and the sharp dagger pierced the woman's neck bit by bit.
The purple-faced Lena stared at the ferocious bald man in front of her with wide eyes, and a severe sense of suffocation enveloped her brain.
100 million, how long does it take for her to earn so much money?
she does not know.
It seems that she is really not suitable to be a mercenary.
The light in the field of vision gradually dimmed, the snowflakes in the sky gradually blurred, and death seemed to be coming just like that.
Is that kid really dead?
In the end, it seemed like nothing really got done.
puff--
The sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh could be heard in the silent night, followed by the sound of a heavy body falling to the ground.
"Ahem—"
The strong hold on her neck was suddenly released, and the woman curled up and fell to the ground, coughing violently.
The hazy darkness gradually regained its luster, and the first thing that came into her sight was the corpse split in two on the ground.
The last gloomy expression still remained on that ferocious cheek, and crystal snowflakes fell into the bright red blood.
And behind the separated corpses, stood a thin figure covered in blood.
Blood dripped down the snow-white sword body and onto the ground.
She raised her head little by little until the little boy's cheek was completely in view.
The young man stood in the fluttering snow, watching her quietly, with a smile on his lips, and stretched out his hand to her.
The snowflakes fell on the boy's palm, and then melted under the warm palm.
A smile also appeared on the corner of Lena's mouth, she stretched out her hand and slowly grabbed the hand.
She stood up with difficulty, and just as she was about to speak, she noticed that the boy's face was completely abnormally cold and white.
The young man opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, he stumbled and fell forward.
She immediately reached out her hand, hugged the unconscious boy, nervously touched the boy's carotid artery, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it was still beating.
He is too tired.
"Go this way, there is fighting noise here!!!"
From the other side of the alleyway, there were some anxious shouts.
She looked at the boy who was leaning against her chest and was still awake. She quickly put away the knight's sword and carried the boy with difficulty on her back, over the bricks on the ground, and walked towards the abandoned space that had just been knocked open.
This seemed to be an abandoned factory. After walking a few steps forward, a broken iron gate appeared.
The black dagger flew out from behind Lena, like a streak of light, cutting through the rusty lock of the iron door.
Lena pushed open the iron door.
Outside the iron gate is a narrow alley.
"Quick, come this way!"
Several figures in white robes ran past the alley.
Lena stopped immediately.
After waiting for a moment and there was no other sound, she opened the door and walked into the alley.
She glanced at both sides of the alley. At the end of the alley, a towering building that covered the sky and the sun was standing in the darkness.
That is the iconic building in the Storm Zone, the Storm Tower.
That is also the most chaotic place in the entire Winter City. As long as you enter there, you can basically escape the pursuit.
She took steps and prepared to walk deeper into the alley.
"Don't go there, there are many extraordinary people over there..."
The boy's hoarse voice sounded behind her, "Go to the other side, to the exit."
Lena glanced at the exit of the alley and found people in ragged clothes passing by the alley one after another.
Theoretically, there wouldn't be so many people in such a lonely alley.
"Is there something over there?"
she asked in a low voice.
"K···"
The boy's voice became softer and softer, "Church..."
