This alley is a bit like a hook. The section connecting the street outside is a row of residential backyard doors, with about five or six doors. But after turning a corner, there is a dead end of more than 20 meters long. On one side, except for various
There is a closed iron gate, and the rest is a three-meter-high stone wall. It is obvious that Slender Man and his gang regard this dead end as their home ground, and they must have done a lot of bad things here, because
After they brought Claude here, they no longer felt as nervous as being noticed by pedestrians on the street.
Claude was thinking about how to deal with these five guys. The two guys behind him who originally held knives against him were just young men of sixteen or seventeen years old. They led him into this dead end because he didn't resist.
He relaxed his vigilance. Although he still held the knife in his hand, it was no longer pressing against Claude's waist. Instead, it was about a foot away, and the tip of the knife was facing Claude diagonally. But this was no longer the case for Claude.
threaten.
These five guys must have never gone to school, otherwise those who have taken physical combat and wrestling courses in junior high school will know that when the weapon in your hand is not more than half a foot long and is one foot away from the enemy's body
At a certain distance, you are no longer dangerous to the enemy. The instructors teaching these two courses can make you understand this truth in minutes. It’s just that the instructors have to be careful not to hurt the students when demonstrating, but now Claude is completely
No scruples whatsoever.
As for the thin man jumping up and down like a clown in front of him and the two men beside him who looked tall but actually stood loosely and walked lightly, Claude didn't take it to heart. He thought about what to use.
The magic flying arrows opened several holes in their bodies. They can forcefully kidnap people on the street and force them to trade. It seems that these bastards have some foothold in Baimu City. It's just a pity that they bumped into themselves and kicked the iron.
plate.
The thin man was still shouting: "Hurry up and take out your money bag and sign your name on this agreement. Boy, I'm giving you an advantage today. You can buy this box of top-quality white root powder from me. It seems that you are lucky today."
Day..."
The two big men next to him were still laughing stupidly, not understanding at all that they were in bad luck. Instead, they looked at Claude with playful eyes, as if Claude was the fish they put on the felt board.
generally.
Claude was about to take action when his ears suddenly moved. His sensitive hearing allowed him to discover the footsteps and breathing of more than ten people around this dead end. However, the closer these people got to this dead end, the lighter their footsteps became and their breathing slowed down.
He stood down, as if he was afraid of being discovered by the people in the dead end, but slowly surrounded the dead end.
What's going on? Claude was shocked and stopped the magic talisman formation on the magic flying arrow on the hexagram in the meditation space that was running. He was unfamiliar with the place in Baimu City, and he must not let anyone find out that he knew magic. But this way
At first, I could only fight hand-to-hand with these five guys.
The thin man performed for a long time, because Claude ignored him and just looked at him coldly, even getting a little angry: "Third brother, go take off the bag from him, and then search where he puts the wallet. If he dares
If he's not honest, give him a slap on the thigh..."
"Okay, second brother." The young man named Lao San was the one who asked the thin man on the street if he had done it to Claude. It seemed that he was also a ruthless master. He was around sixteen or seventeen years old.
In this lawless stage, even if you commit a crime, you will be given a light sentence as a minor. As long as you are not committing murder, generally speaking, minor injuries such as a little blood will be carried by the thin man.
So this carefree guy named Lao San just stabbed Claude's thigh with the knife in his hand. For him, as long as he made a hole in the opponent's thigh, no matter how hard the hero was, he would hug him if it bleeds.
He cried and begged for mercy while touching the injured area. He could do whatever he wanted to do with it at that time. Anyone who dared to offend the thin second brother would have to peel off his skin today...
The knife in his hand was actually made by himself from an iron bar. The blade is less than ten centimeters long and is ground into a triangle shape. It is very sharp. This kind of knife is not very convenient for cutting, but it is very neat for stabbing people. This
The young man named Lao San is also somewhat famous in Baimu City. Most people know that he is a mad dog under Slender Man. He is young and ruthless. He likes to poke a few holes in the fleshy places on people's bodies.
Because Claude didn't resist, the third child didn't take Claude seriously. For such a tall man, he was so cowardly by nature. When he lay on the ground begging for mercy, he would step on his feet.
On the face, who said that I would not grow taller after the age of fifteen? Others grow a head taller every year, but I am still so short...
But after the knife in his hand was thrust out, the big man who was about to be stabbed suddenly stepped back. The unprepared Lao San watched helplessly as the knife he thrust out almost grazed the opponent's thigh and stabbed him.
Kong, his body leaned forward involuntarily, anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and he was about to yell: How dare you hide! But he found a fist suddenly enlarged in front of him, his vision went dark, and his entire face suffered a heavy blow.
Before the painful sensation reaches the nerve end, a crisp "click" sound is heard, and the bridge of the nose collapses completely.
Claude hated this kid's bad skills, so he also dealt a ruthless blow. He not only punched him in the face, but also grabbed the arm holding the knife with his backhand, twisted it, then reversed it, and with a "plop" sound, he grabbed the arm holding the knife.
The knife was inserted into the kid's lower abdomen, and it looked like this guy named Lao San had stabbed himself in the stomach with the knife.
These changes ended almost in the blink of an eye. The thin man in front, the two big men beside him, and the other kid holding a knife behind Claude were completely unaware of what was happening.
They only saw the third child stabbing the outsider in the thigh with a knife. They all looked at it with smiles, thinking that the young man from outside the country would soon kneel on the ground holding his thigh and begging for mercy. This has happened several times.
Already...
Then the young man from out of town dodged for a moment, and then the third child stabbed the knife into his stomach. He fell to the ground with his face covered in blood, and he was still breathing out. He didn't know who was doing it.
Of course, Claude would not let go of the other guy holding a dagger behind him. He just hit this guy in the heart with his left elbow. Who told this guy to let it go too far? His heart and chest were completely defenseless, and his hands were hanging down.
, holding the dagger diagonally, very close. Claude only needed to twist his elbow to accurately hit the vital point of the center. The guy immediately dropped the dagger, fell to the ground with his heart in his arms, and twitched with pain.
My face is flushed, and I feel like I am breathing in with my mouth wide open but I can't get enough air...
The thin man still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were looking at what was happening in front of him in horror. Two of his men fell to the ground and their lives were unknown. The young man from out of town seemed to have not moved a few times. At this moment, the thin man
His whole face was distorted into an abstract painting, his mouth was smiling, but his eyes were so frightened that his hair was almost creeping. He knew that he had won the jackpot...
"Blow, blow the whistle, call, call my second uncle..." The thin man finally managed to say a word. When he saw Claude walking towards him with a sinister smile, the thin man backed away in panic and commanded.
The two big men around him stepped forward to resist, while they hurriedly reached into their pockets to find something: "You, you block him first, I, I will blow the whistle..."
The small box of so-called top-quality white root powder and the sales agreement in the thin man's hand had long been thrown on the ground, and the white powder in the carton was poured all over the floor.
Two big men rushed over. The first one raised his fist and struck from top to bottom. This was another amateur practitioner of Wang Ba Quan. He didn't understand what the straight line distance between two points was the shortest. Claude gave a straight punch.
The last move came first, the big man's fist was still in the air, and Claude's fist had already kissed his face.
"Poof!" The big man's face tilted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, with a few teeth mixed in the blood.
Generally speaking, if you miss a vital point in a fight, you can basically withstand it for two or three minutes even if you are at a disadvantage. The same is true for this big man. He screamed in pain, holding the hit cheek with his left hand.
His right hand was thrust straight in front, blocking Claude's continued attack.
But this was nothing to Claude. He reached out with his left hand, grabbed the big man's right wrist, and moved back. The whole body of the big man was brought forward by Claude's strong force. He twisted his body and lifted it with his right hand.
It is the most standard demonstration move in the wrestling class, the big back throw. The big man was lifted up from the ground, his left hand waved in panic in mid-air, and then he was thrown to the ground made of rocks like a broken sack. This
A big man is like a fish that has landed on the beach, jumping on the ground but unable to get up.
Seeing the fate of his companion, the other big man didn't have the courage to pounce on him. Instead, he kept backing up. At this time, the thin man finally took out a police copper whistle from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
It was blowing hard.
The shrill police whistle echoed down the cul-de-sac.
"You, wait, I, our boss's second uncle will be here soon, he, he is a patrolman, you, wait, sit, go to jail..." The remaining big man heard the whistle blowing,
Finally he had the courage again and pointed at Claude.
Claude pouted, no wonder this thin man dared to gather such a few bastards to find outsiders in Baimu City to carry out forced buying and selling activities. It turned out that there was a second uncle who was a patrolman behind him to support him. As you can imagine,
If ordinary civilians encountered Slender Man's group, they would really have no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs. They couldn't afford to offend them. Even if they resisted, they would be arrested by the patrol police who came later and charged with wounding.
.
However, Claude was not worried about himself at all. At this time, he suddenly discovered the benefits of joining the army. For civilians, in this war era where people are queuing up to be shot, being a soldier means that they can easily become cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Because of this, the Kingdom of Overas has adopted a military-first conscription policy, linking military service with obtaining national status, and at the same time providing care and preferential treatment to soldiers' treatment and status.
From the time he received the conscription order, Claude was no longer a civilian. To be more precise, he was now a quasi-soldier. This was also the reason why he did not face any difficulties when he accepted the identity check of the patrol police and the soldiers guarding the city gate.
Sometimes when the interrogation is strict, many civilians are even ordered to open their bags to check whether they have prohibited items. But Claude does not have this need. When the patrol police and soldiers found out that he was going to the Blue Feather Corps to receive non-commissioned officer training, they were very simple.
Stamping the pass, sometimes wishing Claude a smooth journey with envy...
Even if the thin man's second uncle was a patrolman, so what? He would never dare to arrest Claude and go to jail. Delaying the schedule of the Kingdom's soldiers and arresting them on false charges, he wanted to end the whole family together, right? Especially...
The Blue Feather Legion has always protected its shortcomings. You must know that Claude is not an ordinary recruit. After training, he is at least a non-commissioned officer. Although he is the lowest officer in the army, it is also related to the face of the Blue Feather Legion, not Baimu City.
A patrol officer can afford this responsibility.
Another sound of police whistles came from the distance, and the sound was quickly approaching this dead end. The thin man and the remaining big man breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the thin man said bitterly: "If you are finished, I will definitely find you."
The people will treat you well in the cell."
Claude ignored the thin man's verbal threats. At this time, he was more concerned about the group of people who had quietly gathered around. What did they want to do when they surrounded this dead end? Was they targeting him or the thin man?
The police whistle suddenly stopped at the entrance of the dead end, but what was puzzling was that no one came in for a long time. The thin man had almost retreated to the corner of the dead end, and he said to the remaining big man: "You keep an eye on him
, don’t let him run away, I’ll pick up my second uncle.”
The thin man turned around and ran out of the alley, but as soon as he turned the corner, he bumped into something, and an "ouch" was followed by a "pop".
"Go back!" A rough voice said. Then, the thin man covered the red and swollen left side of his face and stepped back into the dead end. His whole body was shaking because what was pressed against his chest was a lit match.
