The orange-red light passed through the dark sky and fell on the dusty glass curtain walls on the side of the dilapidated high-rise buildings. For a moment, people couldn't tell whether it was the dawn or the sunset, as if they were remembering the past of this city.
It was glorious, but now it has become a desert of boundless life.
The afterglow of the setting sun passed by like blood, silently indicating that the city was about to fall into darkness, and the third night since Higashinohara came to this world was about to come.
"Should we get rid of that guy?"
Under Higashinohara's "navigation", Lucy and Daniel returned along the river road again, and together they came to the Pujiang Community where Higashinohara had first settled down with the Judgment Division team.
They had basically cleaned up the strange monsters here. After she told her husband the news in Higashinohara, Ling Wei's whereabouts were also unknown, leaving only the residential buildings in a mess.
"You should get rid of it."
The big man Daniel gasped, turned his head and looked around at the dilapidated residential buildings, frowned and said, "It seems that there was a battle here not long ago."
Having said this, he paused and looked at Higashinohara, who was looking up at the sky after getting off Lucy's shoulders. He suddenly felt that this man bathing in the orange sunset was somehow mysterious.
Daniel couldn't help but leaned closer to Lucy who was raising her head and slurping water. He lowered his voice and said, "Sister, he seems to be really familiar with this place."
Gulu gulu—!
Lucy put it behind the kettle and wiped her mouth. She muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's cooked. If it's cooked, why would he bring us to the faces of those strange monsters at noon?"
Halfway through the words,
Lucy's voice gradually weakened.
Apparently, after running around all afternoon, the extremely bizarre and bizarre scene that happened in the shadow of the Pearl Tower Plaza building at noon once again appeared in her mind.
Neither Lucy nor Daniel are fools.
They naturally guessed that that scene was most likely related to Higashinohara, who was just on Lucy's shoulder.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't figure out how Higashinohara was able to frighten and suppress those living dead monsters.
At that time, it felt like mountains were pressing on the shoulders of those strange monsters, making them unable to move at all. Could it be the necromancy in the fantasy stories of the Saint-Maro Empire?
Just when the two of them were puzzled, Higashinohara, who was standing on the second floor of Pujiang Community and looking at the horizon of the western streets, suddenly turned his head, a strange smile appeared on his face, and said softly, "
Coming."
"What's coming?"
Lucy and Daniel were both stunned.
"The pirate who is chasing us."
Under the orange-red sunset, the smile on the corner of Higashinohara's mouth seemed to become more intense.
"Oh My God!"
"What a haunted guy!"
When Lucy and Daniel heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them were shocked to find that everyone was catching up with them, and Higashinohara was still laughing.
Lucy suddenly became very angry.
Is this guy out of his mind?
But at this critical moment, she had no time to care about Higashinohara, who had been carried on her shoulders all day today, and hurriedly ran out of the community and twisted around to check the situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she looked to the west, her body stiffened slightly.
The "Evil Wolf" Hu Qiaot, whose clothes were in tatters, appeared in his field of vision. He seemed to have been injured when he was surrounded by strange demons, but his whole body exuded a more violent and ferocious aura than before.
Coming!
It’s really here!
Lucy suddenly felt panic in her heart.
She had no idea how the other party would catch up with them, and the fear caused by the unknown made people feel a little panicked.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone from behind suddenly tapped her on the shoulder, and said softly in her ear, "Thank you for your hard work today."
That tone was just like announcing the end of the day at sunset and the boss coming over to help his employees.
When Lucy turned her head, she found that Higashinohara, who had just been looking at the sunset on the second floor like a "philosopher thinking", had quietly appeared beside her at some point.
Lucy subconsciously raised her arms, trying to block Higashinohara's "injured" behind.
A good person will fight to the end. Since everyone has been saved, there is no reason for her to give up halfway at this time.
But at this moment, Lucy only noticed a flash of black shadow from the corner of her eye, a figure blocking the light of the setting sun.
Higashinohara, who was behind Lucy one second, appeared in front of Lucy without any warning the next second.
She couldn't help but be startled for a moment.
Only then did she realize that Higashinohara, who was carried on her shoulders like a chicken today, turned out to be so tall.
The next second, Lucy's pretty face darkened, and she subconsciously wanted to scold Higashinohara to come back.
The injury number is the injury number.
It's not time yet to show off your strength and risk death.
There was no one who was dying yesterday and almost drowned in the rainwater, but today he was fighting with people to death. Lucy had never seen such a person in her whole life.
Unexpectedly, before the words in her stomach could be spoken, Higashinohara suddenly turned his head under the setting sun, and showed her a gentle and reassuring smile on his clean and handsome face.
Lucy's words suddenly stuck in her throat, and then disappeared little by little.
Until Daniel, who was preparing to camp here tonight, rushed over and said in Lucy's ear in shock, "Sister! How did you let him fall in love with you?!"
Lucy reacted suddenly.
hateful!
This pretty face fascinates me!
Lucy felt secretly annoyed in her heart, but she said to Daniel without looking back, "Stop wandering around there, go pack your luggage quickly, we'll get ready."
"No."
Suddenly a voice interrupted her.
"What?" Lucy turned her head subconsciously.
"No need to clean it up." Higashinohara didn't look back, he just replied.
The next second, before Lucy could get angry, Higashinohara took a step forward.
The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Because of Higashinohara's simple step, there was only a blurry shadow in front of Lucy. When she looked again, she saw that the other party was already standing next to the "Evil Wolf" Hu Qiaot, who was walking from the street to the west.
Less than ten meters in front.
What a fast speed!
The evil wolf Hu Qiaot was also frightened when he saw this.
He originally thought that he was chasing Lucy and Daniel, and did not put Higashinohara in front of him, who needed someone to carry him even to escape. Unexpectedly, this person suddenly stood in front of him.
What made his face darken even more was.
The guy in front of him was clearly standing in front of him, and his eyes were looking at him, but he clearly felt that the other person's eyes were looking over his shoulder, staring directly at the trace of light behind him that was about to disappear into the sky.
The bloody sun seems to be waiting for something.
"Although I don't know who you are, I still want to tell you that when you are young, it is best not to provoke people you shouldn't provoke."
Hu Qiaote said in a sinister tone. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lucy and Daniel behind Higashinohara, who were facing the enemy. "It seems that you and those two people just met yesterday. So if it were changed to
I, I think I will choose to leave decisively at this time."
As the second-ranking officer of the Shelby Pirates, it is natural that he does not understand the human heart and human nature.
Although he didn't know what happened to the guy in front of him suddenly, his current target was just the pair of Lucy and Daniel who had been sneaking away from him all afternoon.
Obviously, the evil wolf Hu Qiaot didn't expect that it was Higashinohara who was leading the way who really escaped him all afternoon today. It was Higashinohara who untied the evil spirit of Shura under the shadow of the building.
Therefore, now he just wants to tear the siblings who teased him into pieces.
As for Higashinohara, for now, we will set out "life and death conditions" to divide them from the inside. When the [Border Gate] opens again in five days, we can just kill them if they encounter them.
However, in the face of Hu Qiaote's suggestion of an open "life path", Higashinohara's expression did not change at all.
He just looked at him quietly, and then began to say, "Give me a reason."
"Reason?" Evil Wolf Hu Qiaot looked at Higashinohara with some humor, shook his head, his face suddenly froze, and said with murderous intent in his eyes, "Just because I am one of the Four Kings of the West Sea, the Shelby Pirate."
The second cadre of the regiment, our captain Shelby is also in this world, is it enough?"
Dark Demon Arthur Shelby was rumored to be at the peak of the eighth level decades ago, but today he no longer knows what kind of terrifying state he is in.
Not to mention that the Shelby Pirates are known to be vengeful, and few people are willing to offend that group of notorious and heartless pirates.
Under normal circumstances, such a reason is indeed completely sufficient for ordinary seventh-level ability users.
Even Lucy and Daniel, who were not far behind Higashinohara, heard that the evil wolf Hu Qiaot was willing to let go of Higashinohara who suddenly became "brazen" for some reason, and said such threatening words.
My heart suddenly tightened.
They met by chance, and even though they saved each other's lives, Higashinohara continued to help them guide them throughout the afternoon.
From a practical perspective,
They have no reason to ask Higashinohara to give up this life path and must live and die with them.
But from a personal and emotional perspective, Lucy lowered her eyelids slightly, suddenly feeling a little scared?
Afraid that I will feel disappointed and lost
But at this moment, after hearing the aggressive words of Wolf Hu Qiaot, Higashinohara's expression became a little subtle.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Um, is the Boss Shelby you are talking about an old man with a cane, a short stature, and wearing a gray retro woolen octagonal hat?"
The evil wolf Juot was suddenly startled and said subconsciously, "Have you seen Boss Shelby?"
"That's right." Higashinohara nodded.
Before the evil wolf Hu Qiaot could continue to ask questions, he took the initiative and confessed, "I killed him."
The air became quiet at this moment.
After a moment, the evil wolf Hu Qiaot suddenly covered his face with his hands and let out a burst of sarcastic laughter. He looked at Higashinohara with a sarcastic look on his face, "What an unexpected answer. You don't think you can scare me like this."
Me?"
He had already reacted and guessed in his mind that Higashinohara probably glanced at Arthur Shelby from a distance somewhere and tried to deceive him by describing his appearance.
Do I look easy to deceive?
The evil wolf Hu Qiaote narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Higashinohara who looked calm, "Young people are always unwilling to listen to the warnings of those who have experienced it. It seems that you do not have the respect for your own life, so what are you waiting for? Yes.
Death?"
"I'm waiting for the sunset."
After Higashinohara finished saying these words, the last remaining ray of sunset in the celestial-colored pupils under his eyelashes finally slowly disappeared on the horizon, and the boundless night swept across from all directions like a cool tide.
At the same time, the progress bar of [Spiritual Healing] in his mind finally reached 100%, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
If it weren't for Higashinohara, who had such an incredible existence as the "Guilty Manual" in his mind, I'm afraid no one in this world would be able to use a "percentage progress bar" to present something as abstract as his injuries and degree of recovery.
Until this moment, Higashinohara's eyes finally fell on the evil wolf Hu Qiaot.
He looked at the man with a long face and a pointed chin and a spiky head in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm waiting for sunset and you tell me so much? What are you waiting for?"
"court death!"
The evil wolf Hu Qiaote's face sank.
The next moment, Higashinohara felt a strong black wind blowing in front of him, and countless fists capable of cracking mountains and cracking rocks suddenly exploded in the corner of his eye, carrying an overwhelming terrifying power.
I flow. The field expands!
The flowing water is stagnant!
"not good!"
"This guy makes a sneak attack!"
Behind them, Lucy and Daniel's expressions suddenly changed.
However, in the next second, their expressions changed again. Their eyes couldn't help but widen, and their faces showed a look of shock and disbelief.
In the scene in front of him, Higashinohara could be seen gently taking steps forward in the face of this overwhelming and terrifying fist. The ground beneath his feet suddenly dented and cracked, and gravel splashed slowly in all directions.
At this moment, Higashinohara could be said to be walking towards Hu Qiaote in a leisurely manner, with a completely at ease attitude.
The next moment, his figure appeared diagonally to Hu Qiaot's side.
Higashinohara gently raised his fist, as if in slow motion in a movie, and struck the side of the face of the taijutsu ability wolf Hu Qiaot.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun has disappeared, leaving only the hazy moonlight that comes with the night.
Under the sad moonlight, Hu Qiaot seemed to twist his neck and try to turn his head when the punch came.
However, he failed to turn his head after all.
Bang!
It's the sound of fists touching flesh.
Before Hu Qiaote could react, he flew sideways like a cannonball and slammed into the long-abandoned convenience store at the entrance of the community, stirring up countless dust.
It was only at this moment that the scene in front of Lucy and Daniel seemed to finally return to normal.
However, their brains are not normal.
Lucy stared straight ahead. It was hard to imagine that the man in front of her, who had removed all of his powerful and heavy war hammer with a weird physical technique like running water, would actually be hit by such a straight punch.
Boom and fly out.
What situation is this?
Boom!
The evil wolf Hu Qiaot crawled out from the rocks and construction debris with difficulty, his face twisted and stained with blood. He stared at Higashinohara with a fierce expression and said, "I didn't expect you are also a physical practitioner? What kind of punch is this?
?”
Higashinohara shook his head silently, remained silent for a moment and said, "An ordinary punch."
In fact, with the basic attributes of [Strength 69.5], [Agility: 72.5], and [Physique: 69.9], his normal combat power cannot be measured by ordinary seventh level.
And this is indeed Higashinohara's "ordinary punch" at 14 times the speed of Quicksand Scale.
But the evil wolf Hu Qiaot felt humiliated inexplicably.
In his life, he had been worshiping the ancient fluid arts dojo, and then found his own path in bloody fights. He never thought that one day he would be knocked away without even being able to see the opponent's fist clearly.
"Come again!"
The evil wolf Hu Qiaote gritted his teeth and said with blood on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly twisted like a water snake, and his hands intertwined and spiraled towards him.
In an instant, the surrounding air and space seemed to be thrown into chaos by this boxing technique.
I flow mysteries. I flow the Dragon Fang Fist!
Higashinohara's body also moved!
He is like a hazy shadow in the moonlight,
A ghost that does not exist in this world appears next to the other party!
Accumulate your fist!
boom!
This time, Hu Qiaot was not blown away again.
But everyone only heard a violent "crack" sound, the bones of the wolf Hu Qiaote's face shattered, and the sound of his neck being twisted was almost astonishing.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Lucy and Daniel, the head facing them suddenly turned 180 degrees to the rear.
Higashinohara stood there and looked at the back of Hu Qiaot's head quietly, nodded and said to himself, "Well, this punch can be considered a serious punch."
