Chapter 123 No War in Yacheng

Safe!
Even though her lifesaver was a little boy who was prettier than herself, she still felt something was odd.

But the moment he saw that familiar face appear in his sight, Ji Jue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - is this the sense of security that Bai Lu brings me?

As expected, it’s Xiao An.

It’s really reassuring!
At the beginning, the projection that had been accumulated for a long time was just a greeting. The moment Xiao An reached the commanding heights, a storm of steel flew out from his sleeves.

The thunder roared continuously, the iron roared like a rainstorm, and the earth shook violently.

All Ji Jue could see were straight white lines that broke through the air, pointing to the enemy on the ground that was engulfed by the storm. In an instant, the red-hot iron pieces that broke through the air with thunder had already sunk into the bodies of the large group of Chosen Ones.

Head, neck, heart, liver, hands, tendons, legs, genitals...

The terrifying power that was comparable to that of an anti-material sniper rifle blew up patches of blood mist, and the simple impact blew away countless amounts of flesh, blood, and broken bones.

But, it didn't stop.

Just like whipping a corpse -

"Brother Ji Jue, be careful!"

A nervous voice came, "His matrix is ​​the Iron Guard from the Empire!"

A large group of descendants of the Imperial Legion, the Mountain Land Dragon Army, known for its tenacity and defensive warfare, had fought against enemies several times their number in bloody trench warfare more than once. In the endless tug-of-war that lasted month after month, relying on this matrix, countless enemies suffered in the meat grinder-like attrition battle.

With the wild perception of the white deer, Xiao An could naturally sense the blessing that the other party had just used and the aura on his body.

[Enemy Preemption] that can predict the opponent's next move, [Lion's Excitement] that can ignore pain and interference and exert 100% of its strength as long as there is still a breath left, [Wind Sweep] that makes attacks and charges unstoppable...

If it really is the Iron Guard, then...

This injury probably won't make the opponent lose his fighting power!
At that moment, in the spreading blood, the mutilated body twitched once again. On the broken face, the flesh and the remaining gums opened and closed, half of it moving with difficulty.

Offered, instinctively, a prayer.

"Lord of the High Arms, I offer all my suffering to you—"

At that moment, in the blazing blood-red flames, the torn corpse was actually restored at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The flesh and blood regenerated, the bones connected, the skin squirmed and grew, and on the evil face, twisted long horns like a devil emerged, and bloody eyes opened from the cheeks.

Then, a black and red armor that looked like a blood scab emerged in the flames.

Bang!
The iron piece thrown by Xiao An embedded into the armor!

[Fierce Fight], [Burning Soul], [Drinking Blood], after possessing these blessings that are commonly seen in the way of the masses, the true effect of the Iron Guard Matrix can be activated.

——【Regroup】!
In the blink of an eye, he was revived with full health!

Ji Jue felt unwell.

I finally killed one of your blood, but you entered the second stage and revived with full blood...

What the hell is this?

Although such a terrifying effect would certainly consume a lot of spiritual essence, the problem was that, according to his memory, in the ritual of the Iron Guard's upper inheritance, the ability bestowed upon the Chosen One was the [Soul Sign] of killing the enemy and plundering their spiritual essence!
Although the plundering effect of this ability is only 50% to 60% at most, and it has a strong burden on consciousness and side effects, the opponent has already been distorted.

There's nothing crazy about it!

Do you still expect him to turn two negatives into a positive?

boom!
The loud noise came again. If the little Niuma hadn't suddenly burned its tires and moved on the spot, Ji Jue would have been knocked off the car.

The other party just reached out, pulled out a piece of broken curb from the ground and threw it towards him.

But even so, the cart was hit by the broken stones, and it instantly sank and deformed amid the screams of the calf and horse, which made Ji Jue's eyes burst with anger:

"I just repainted it the day before yesterday!!!"

Damn it, his car doesn’t even have insurance. He couldn’t find an insurance company in the whole city of Yacheng that was willing to insure this three-wheeled vehicle like the Niuma. He probably had to repair the sheet metal himself.

“Charge! Charge! Charge!!!”

The blood-stained group of Chosen Ones raised their heads, raised their swords high, and shouted frantically: "Lu Longjun, victory! Victory! Victory!"

So, they sang the passionate military songs again and immersed themselves in the battlefield.

Laughing wildly and waving.

He chopped down all the iron pieces thrown by Xiao An and moved forward step by step.

But his feet suddenly stumbled.

A motorcycle parked on the side of the road suddenly started up, accelerated mercilessly, leaped forward, and the motorcycle weighing hundreds of pounds rolled in the air, smashing straight at Herbert, but was cut into two pieces by his clean knife, exploding!
Gasoline spilled and exploded, but he seemed not to be afraid of the burning and did not care at all.

The scarlet eyes looked at Ji Jue.

Blessing·Wind Sweeping the Clouds gathers its power again, activates, and rushes out from the blood flames!

Then it collided head-on with an empty SUV with a loud bang. Before he could stand firm again, Ji Jue gritted his teeth again and pointed at a rusty road maintenance vehicle next to him.

【Kill him for me!!!】

boom! boom! boom! boom!
One car after another, Ji Jue had no time to care about them anymore. Anyway, the others had almost run away, so there was basically no need to worry about accidental injuries.

Besides, I'm working for an official agency, so who would be reluctant to give up such little compensation?
All expenses today will be paid for by the Security Bureau!

In the epicenter of the earthquake, there were continuous loud noises.

Tong Hua next to him was completely dumbfounded.

Until a loud and loud horn sounded from afar, causing a strong wind and a loud noise, and the tires spun wildly and sped away.

She could no longer hold back her horrified voice:

"I hold—"

Wait a minute, bro, wait a minute, calm down!

Who the hell is the one who came to Yacheng to cause trouble? !
The last one was a gas tanker truck that Ji Jue stole from the road next door!!!

The mercury rope instantly broke the window, dragged out the terrified driver and threw him aside. Ji Jue raised his hand to wipe the blood from his nose due to excessive consumption of spiritual essence, and said without hesitation:
"Death to the Lord!!!"

boom! ! !
In the wreckage of many vehicles, that figure was instantly swallowed up.

In the violent collision, there was a roar that was enough to shatter all the glass in the entire block, flames danced, gushed out, the storm spread, spread, and thick smoke billowed and rose into the sky.

The wild flames rose up, burning the dim clouds into scarlet.

The rolling heat wave hits us in the face.

Tong Hua swallowed dryly, turned around, and hesitated to speak, but she saw that Ji Jue hadn't stopped yet? !
He lowered his head and without stopping, dug out a...six-barreled machine gun from the bed of the calf-drawn vehicle? !

Ever since he was targeted by a sniper just because he stepped out of the door last time, Ji Jue now makes sure to take all his tools and belongings with him whenever he leaves the workshop.

Anyway, there are calves and horses, so you don’t have to carry it yourself.

He had just repaired this machine gun a few days ago after returning from the Rift. He had been thinking of returning it to Sister Leila after helping her, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Under Tong Hua's eyes that looked as if she had seen a ghost, Ji Jue's hands almost left afterimages. In such a place, he used his natural speed to the extreme. In just a few snaps of his fingers, he had assembled it on the hardened mercury bracket.

The muzzle of the gun was raised, aimed firmly at the dancing flames and ruins.

"No, brother, you..."

Tong Hua was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Ji Jue said solemnly: "Don't let your guard down. This is how the unlucky guys in horror movies die... There's smoke but no injuries, understand?"

Tong Hua's lips opened and closed several times, but she was no longer able to speak.

Damn, the people who die in horror movies are always a bunch of unlucky college students, not a psychopath like you who would take a tanker truck and blow it up on people on the street!
How could a good person turn into a terrorist seamlessly when he gets anxious?
But then, she heard...

The sound of footsteps amidst the flames.

One step, another step.

The blurry figure, which looked like a charred corpse, staggered out of the burning hell, dragging the broken and melted blade!

Still...alive?!
Even if the body and blood have been set on fire.

"The voices...their...voices..."

Herbert instinctively stumbled forward, moving his eyes blankly and with difficulty, searching.

All sounds are gone.

So quiet.

But when his burnt eyes looked forward, he seemed to finally understand from his trance.

fire.

It's fire.

At the end of this hellish nightmare, the magnificent tide that fills the sky and covers the earth is so beautiful, like the crystallization of destruction and death.

That is the end of the road.

A laugh that sounded like a cry came from the carbonized throat.

He panted and moved forward with difficulty, one step, then another...

Towards Ji Jue.

But now, Ji Jue is no longer afraid.

At that moment, someone appeared beside him.

It’s Lao Zhang.

Just like that, watching the dying beast gradually break apart in its wailing, the burning footprints stopped abruptly halfway.

Herbert fell on his back.

In the drowsy vision, the blood color in the sky seemed to gradually fade away.

The sunset is magnificent, and the evening glow is gorgeous.

The broken arm was raised, grasping in vain for the last ray of sunset light.

And so, it fell apart.

The never-ending war is over.

Finally, I can have a good sleep...

As the enemy died, Lao Zhang looked around and made sure there were no hidden dangers before patting Ji Jue on the shoulder.

"You did a great job. I said I wanted to help, but you solved it yourself?" He sighed, "That's right, the scale is a bit exaggerated."

Looking at the exaggerated scene in front of him, he couldn't help but pat his bald head.

The ability of young people to stir up trouble should not be underestimated. I just accidentally created such a big mess... Should we say that the new generation pushes the old generation forward?

When I was young, I could only break down a few walls with all my might, but now, each of the chosen ones is more like a demolition crew than the last.

Not only did Wen Wen hit him without any mercy, but Ji Jue was also starting to surpass her.

He bared his teeth and once again mourned for the wallets of the Beishan District.

I'm afraid the future will be tough...

"Mr. Zhang, how long have you been watching?" Ji Jue came to his senses and asked.

"Just arrived, just arrived!"

Old Zhang waved his palm-leaf fan and looked around to talk about something else: "Oh, the people who came to Huangji to silence us are really troublesome."

Well, it’s literally difficult, right?!

"Hey, isn't this to see how you perform? How can you grow without going through the ups and downs?"

Growth? Me? Are you sure?
Ji Jue's expression twitched, and he answered numbly: "According to my experience, people who have experienced too many storms generally do not grow up, but only become the waves."

As he said this, after his spiritual essence recovered a little, he propped himself up, jumped off the car, picked up the toolbox, and ran towards the last remains of the deceased.

Corpse, corpse, it is urgent to rescue the corpse!!!
When a person dies completely, the spiritual essence dissipates, and the blessing begins to collapse. It is unknown how much can be saved. But seeing how crazy this guy is, I am afraid that the blessing has undergone several qualitative changes.

Besides, even if it is burned to ashes, it can be taken back and used as materials. It has many uses!
Every second must be raced.

Without Ball by his side, he could only use mercury to preserve it urgently, hoping that the blessing would not dissipate too quickly.

"Etc., etc--"

The one who was faster than him was actually Tong Hua.

Tong Hua suppressed the feeling of nausea and vomiting, pinched her nose, and after doing some psychological work, she finally reached out to the corpse.

Although he is a little stupid, a little naive, has a low IQ, is a little stubborn, and his brain doesn't work very well, but the radar cultivated in the Tong family, where everyone is just having fun, is still able to keenly detect something wrong.

It’s like, when the author suddenly turns his attention to the side story at a critical juncture of the plot, experienced readers will frown and have some guesses in their minds - is this guy going to start flooding the screen with nonsense?
The Eye of Ether observes, locks, and captures.

The Matrix: Yesterday Reappears.

The moment Tong Hua's fingers touched the severed fingers of the remnant limb, her expression suddenly changed.

"broken!"

Old Zhang frowned instantly, "What's wrong?"

"There is a problem. There is definitely a problem."

Tong Hua let go of her hand and said decisively: "This person's evil transformation process was artificially accelerated!"

"From the records of changes in his vital signs, he was in a controllable and stable state for the past month. He must have been using inhibitors during treatment. Although the quality is so-so and the mutation cannot be contained, he is still in a stable period. As long as he receives regular injections, he can maintain the status quo.

As a result, today, the evil transformation trend suddenly accelerated. It only took half a day from entering the stable stage to the acute stage! That medicine is definitely problematic. Moreover, before we arrived, there was abnormal interference and tampering in his etheric records. The gap in his consciousness was obvious, and a large amount of garbled memory that cannot be retrieved now was stuffed in... It's the heart hub!"

She said, "The blessing of the Heart Hub interfered with his consciousness, triggered his shell shock, put him into a state of stress, and directly catalyzed the process of evil transformation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Xiao An still didn't seem to understand. Ji Jue had too little experience and didn't have time to react, but Lao Zhang's brows were already furrowed and his face gradually became gloomy.

A group of Chosen Ones who were using problematic drugs to maintain their status and whose mental state was in danger? At this critical moment? Coming to Yacheng? And getting involved in the internal strife of Huangji?

It's like a high-risk mental patient who was specially sent out of a mental hospital and placed in a public place. Just a little stimulation - a word, a laugh, a loud noise, a signal, and the last dam will be destroyed.

Since he entered Yacheng, he has become a time bomb!!!
Even worse...

Ji Jue suddenly turned around and couldn't believe it: "Someone deliberately sent him to An..."

"Xiao Ji——"

Lao Zhang interrupted him before he could finish.

The moment Ji Jue realized it, he immediately shut up.

"Actually, you're mistaken."

After a brief pause, Lao Zhang slowly said, "It's not that complicated. We just happened to encounter a fight among these people, and we inferred that the spoils were not evenly divided. After going through hardships, we shot down the fleeing mercenaries before they could do more damage. No one survived.

Don’t mention anything unnecessary in the report.”

"Due to the severe collapse and damage at the scene, the bodies were basically not recovered. It is enough to take two knives and a few weapons back and seal them as evidence.

As for the 'other' stuff, I remember that the Embers series seemed to be useful as well."

He looked at Ji Jue meaningfully and said, "As a favor, please take it back with you. You can do whatever you want with it, as long as you can do it as soon as possible."

He obviously had a deep understanding of the processing of the Way of Embers. After the material had been processed two or three times, no matter how powerful the Aether was, it would not be able to read the original content, so there was naturally no need to worry about it.

At this point, having noticed so many strange things and doubts, if you think about it more, you can feel that the fight between the white deer is no longer simple.

Or rather, it was not an accident from the beginning.

There is a faint trace of the hand behind the scenes.

But the Security Bureau has nothing to do with it.

They can't go any further and must stop the loss in time.

I don’t give a shit about a bunch of trash fighting each other. If Huangji explodes tomorrow, will the Security Bureau shed a single tear?

The most urgent task is to get Beishan District out of this shitty trouble, get rid of it cleanly, and make sure that no dirt gets on it.

It cannot become a fuse, not even a spark can be left.

Otherwise, if anything happens in the future, I’m afraid someone will inevitably use Beishan District to make an excuse for the Security Bureau.

The more troublesome and serious the matter is, the more people will want something to help them share their attention and attract the focus. Whether it is someone with ulterior motives or someone who wants to solve the problem as soon as possible, they will not show mercy when the time comes.

At that time, the worst that could happen to Lao Zhang is that he can retire and go home to continue running the massage parlor. But for Wen Wen, Tong Hua, Xiao An, and even Ji Jue who came to help, it would be an endless source of trouble.

"I understand."

After a brief eye contact, Ji Jue understood: "That's perfect. I don't have anything to do. Let me help you retrieve the surveillance footage."

Lao Zhang nodded.

He patted his shoulder wordlessly.

After understanding what he meant, Tong Hua and Ji Jue immediately started to get busy.

Collect physical evidence, prepare records, and close the scene.

This was just a normal mission. When investigating a serious crime in Beishan District, they tracked down a group of roving criminals and shot them all dead.

It's just like their job in the past, nothing special.

Everything is normal.

Judging from the camera footage and ether residue at the scene, this is the case, except that the damage was a little bit greater, so it is somewhat incomplete, but still normal and impeccable.

As for what the extra box on the calf-drawn cart was, no one cared.

After communicating the situation at the scene with the late-arriving police, directing them to set up a cordon, and distributing the contact information of the Beishan District company to the insurance company of the accident victims, Lao Zhang's work was temporarily over.

He unscrewed the oversized water bottle he carried with him, tilted his head back and drank the tea he had been drinking for the entire afternoon. He finished the tea leaves while still drinking. He stared at the neon lights in the night and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"What a troubled time."

He reached out and ruffled Xiao An's hair, and said softly, "Go back when you're done."

"Ok."

Xiao An nodded.

And under the same night cover, on the other side of Yacheng, the commotion had just begun.

Half an hour later, Yacheng, Fanglan District, Mingyue Tower.

The door is like a city.

The streets are decorated with lights and look festive.

"Uncle Hu, long time no see, please come in."

"President Liu, we are old friends. Why be so polite? Please come in."

Among the guests coming and going, Lei Yaoxing stood at the door, greeting the arriving guests with a warm smile, but on the streets on both sides, there stood one expressionless and indifferent man after another, sweeping cold eyes over every unrelated person who dared to approach.

After the chief inspector of the Fanglan District Police Station was invited in, someone hurriedly walked up to him and whispered, "There seems to be something wrong in Beishan District."

After listening to this, Lei Yaoxing nodded calmly and waved his hand: "Don't be nosy, let's talk about it after tonight."

Then, he put on his smile again and greeted another guest.

"Brother, it's really unlike you to take the initiative to talk about the numbers." The seductive Eleventh Sister pushed away the person who blocked her way and stepped onto the stairs: "You dealt with those uncles so quickly and they came out to support you?"

"Dad is still in the hospital. His condition is not good. Please visit him more often when you have time."

Lei Yaoxing patted her hands and said, "We grew up together, we are all family, what obstacles can't be overcome?"

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" Eleventh Sister sneered.

"What do you mean by eating or not? Have I ever treated you badly since you were a child?" Lei Yaoxing sighed slightly and said earnestly: "In the final analysis, we are all family, and a harmonious family brings prosperity.

Today is very important to me, please give me some face. Even if you want to fight to the death with the fourth and seventh brothers, you don't have to choose today. Even if the situation is ugly, I still can't bear to see you sad. Didn't I never move the old house in Nanlu District? "

The Eleventh Sister’s expression froze for a moment, her pupils became dark, as if she was ready to devour someone.

But Lei Yaoxing just patted her shoulder and said, "It's getting late. Come in and sit down. We can talk after we finish eating... Hey, Secretary Li, welcome, welcome."

He took the initiative to walk towards the other person, shook hands with him, greeted him warmly, and invited him to come in.

The banquet hall was already bustling with noise. Familiar people sat together, holding tea cups and smiling at each other, but when they exchanged glances, there was always something unspeakable.

I always couldn't help but look towards the door.

Until a black car stopped at the door, and a round-faced middle-aged man wearing stiff glasses walked out. He was slightly fat, and looked like an enlarged version of Chen Yubo, except that his skin color was much darker than Chen Yubo. He smiled gently and waved to the people around him.

It is hard to imagine that this is the great leader of Huangji who indirectly caused the Bailu Civil War and the unrest in Yacheng.

After four consecutive days of war, Chen Xingzhou finally appeared in public.

Looked up the stairs.

For a moment, Lei Yaoxing's eyes met his, but there was no anger or darkness in his eyes, and even the smiles of both of them did not change.

In just a few seconds, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Until Lei Yaoxing took the initiative to walk down the stairs and greet the most important guest of the night.

The two walked together, smiling.

Hold hands together.

Gentle and steady, just like the tacit understanding of cooperation in the past.

"I didn't expect you would dare to come."

Lei Yaoxing sighed: "I underestimated you."

"Uncles and aunts, if you want to make a deal, how can I not come? I can't just sit there and wait to die, right?" Chen Xingzhou said calmly: "Have you thought about how to deal with me today?"

"Guests are welcome. I don't have the habit of fighting with guests." Lei Yaoxing said, "Even if we can't come to an agreement, we can talk about it after tonight."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to lead his hand forward.

Chen Xingzhou waved his hand to stop Uncle Lin from following him, and joined hands with the host, looking like they were very close.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a soft muffled sound was heard.

Bang!
Chen Xingzhou stopped where he was.

He lowered his head in confusion.

Seeing a trace of blood seeping from his chest, he looked up in confusion and looked at Lei Yaoxing beside him. He subconsciously grabbed him and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Shocked, stunned, confused, and then suddenly realized.

Amid the chaos around him, his hand loosened weakly, leaving only a scarlet blood mark on the pure white dress.

Falling backwards.

There were screams of terror.

Like the belated wails in the pool of blood.

They have never stopped, continuing from the darkness, singing from the fight between wolves and deer.

From beginning to end, Bai Lu witnessed everything.

The bloody prelude begins...
