Chapter 1023 The Protagonist Who Appears After the Finale

"Maybe it's because of the unknown dream that wandering people chase phantoms." Mai Shutoku sang in a low voice, "It seems that the opera actors have all arrived step by step."

"Mai Shutoku, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place tonight. Opera and dance were born for the purpose of pleasing. There are only lambs and butcher knives on the altar of blood and flesh." The black shadow lowered his head, and there was no hint in his tone. He was on guard, as if the sudden appearance of Mai Shutoku was not unexpected.

"Altar? This place does look like an altar now, but in my opinion, the only function of an altar is to pray to the gods, and the gods often don't respond to their expectations. You don't seem to be someone who fears the gods." Mai Shutoku was lazy. De put down his hands and put them on his legs and looked at the pulsating golden tree in the mercury lake behind the black shadow. "The most important thing is that the gods seem to be really free to show their signs today. This is not good."

"I'm just here to pay homage to my old friend, what are you here for?" Black Shadow said lightly.

"To pay homage? I'm afraid you want to help the deceased to unveil his coffin, right? Our purpose is almost the same in the end, just like what is inscribed on the stone slab of the Jade Record, 'As it is above, so it is below', if you want Resurrection of your former ally, then I am here to bury him completely. After all, some people think that it is better for the thing in the coffin to be completely dead. The half-dead appearance is a shame for such a great thing, which makes people look at it. I feel like crying and sighing when I get there," Mai Shutoku said.

"Are you here to kill him because you are afraid of his return?" The black shadow said slowly as he looked sideways at the golden tree under the spotlight.

"Everyone who can come here tonight has more or less this idea, right? Everyone is a bandit who comes here to burn, kill, and plunder. Normally, the barriers in Yuanxu are too tight. If you break in blindly, you will be caught. Yes, but I don’t know why these barriers suddenly disappeared tonight. If you don’t seize this opportunity, it may be difficult to get it again." Mai Shutoku said casually, "You were the first one to get wind of it. He was a robber and started to kill a person. I was the second one before he could take action, and he was the third one."

Patsy, who was touched by Mai Shutoku's suggestion, said calmly, "I am the only one here who is not a robber. 'Seven Deadly Sins Finale' is a property jointly owned by the school board and Orthodoxy."

"So you think you are the master? You should know the consequences of jumping back in a bandit's den, right?" Mai Jude looked at Percy with a smile, "It is not a good idea to fight with a small number against a large number."

"In the broad sense of the Chinese language, three people make a crowd, and you are only two people," Passi said.

Yes, I don’t know who started it. So far, the three uninvited guests in Yuanxu tonight have all been communicating with each other in Chinese.

"Hey, an Italian robber, a Japanese robber, and an ignorant robber are discussing semantics in Chinese in the United States?" Mai Shutoku said interestingly. She looked at Patsy's shoes and pointed out, "Are you from Did you come from the 'Garden'? The road there must be quite difficult now, right? Since it's the owner's house, why don't you take the right way home? Instead, go through the yard at the back door?"

Percy glanced down at the dirt on the sides of his leather shoes and admitted, "It's really hard to walk. I'm in a hurry."

"Either you are caught in a hurry when you are home, or you forgot to turn off the gas and there was a fire in the backyard. So which one are you?" Mai Shutoku asked.

"I guess he forgot to turn off the gas and went home to put out the fire. After all, if the secretary of the investigation team is found to have had an affair with the director of the execution department, the impact will not be good. The impact will not be good in all senses." Passy has not yet answered, someone Just answered it for him.

Not far behind Shutoku Mai, another spotlight came down, illuminating a dark figure.

Patsy looked at the black figure in a daze, while Mai Shude looked back and laughed out loud, "Can you be more professional?"

The newly-appeared fourth person is a sturdy man, with muscles as tight as granite, full of strength, and a well-proportioned and rhythmic figure. No one can see what he looks like. He wears a KFC on his head. The paper bucket had two holes dug out, revealing a pair of thief eyes.

The attire of the bandits tonight is a bit strange. The female ninja's sexy and functional night clothes, Patsy's formal attire that can be worn directly to the reception after ironing the wrinkles caused by the rush, and the black shadow that outlines the The black elastic combat uniform with a tall and tall figure like a crane now has a Mr. KFC added to it.

As the fourth person in the spotlight of Yuanxu, the funny and unobtrusive Mr. KFC walked to the stage, raised his hand and asked: "Do you mind adding another German student to the Chinese study group?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shutoku Mai and whistled, as frivolously as a gangster, but Shutoku Mai just gave him a roll of the eyes.

"I don't mind if I don't mind, but as for the German student, I'm afraid we already have one here, and you can only count as the second one." Mai Shutoku looked at him and said jokingly.

"What? There is no room for two tigers in a mountain, haven't you heard? Which bastard dares to take my position?" Mr. KFC touched his head, but he only touched the paper bucket on his head.

"I don't think you need to worry about this problem. After all, he is already dying." Black Shadow said.

Another spotlight fell, this time illuminating a corner of the Yuanxu Cave. Where a large pile of mechanical cables were piled up against the wall, the head of the Executive Department, Von Schneider, was lying in a pool of blood, his entire body He leaned against the wall behind him with all his strength, and covered his neck with his right hand. A large amount of sticky blood dyed most of his body red, and his iron-gray eyes drooped dimly, threatening to close at any time.

"Penetrating injury, grazing the carotid artery." As a ninja, Mai Shutoku, who was extremely sensitive to injuries, could tell at a glance that Schneider was in critical condition. "It's strange, why is he not dead yet?"

It should be said that if the carotid artery is scratched, excessive intracavity pressure will lead to uncontrollable massive bleeding. The injured person will quickly go into shock and die in just a few minutes. But the amazing thing is that Schneider has managed to hold on until now and is still alive. .

Patsy was relatively close to Schneider, and he found that the man's heartbeat was frighteningly weak, the time between each beat was incredibly long, and the blood flow was extremely slow, including body temperature, breathing, etc. His body surface characteristics have all slowed down to more than dozens of times that of normal people.

Seeing this scene, Patsy first thought of a word spirit, 'Winter'. Only this word spirit could slow down his own body signs to this extent.

He was not sure whether the spirit was released by Schneider himself, because according to some information he knew, Hilbert Jean Angers had invited a group of experts to control Schneider's condition in the early years. There are many emergency measures for when the condition gets out of control, and maybe this situation is one of the emergency measures.

It’s no wonder that Patsy has been following the bloodstains all the way to the Yuan Ruins but hasn’t seen Schneider’s body. Schneider’s physical signs have weakened like this, even Mai Shutoku, a ninja, can’t do it. So when Patsy walked into this space, The first one to be discovered was the female ninja, not Schneider.

Thinking about it, Black Shadow also didn't discover his target immediately. This space was blocked by the alchemy of the vine matrix. Even Black Shadow couldn't use too much power to sense where Schneider was hiding, so his choice was the first. Time destroyed the alchemical matrix, and then Patsy went down to Yuanxu to interrupt his plan.

"Why did you miss it when you were up there?" Turning away from Schneider, Mai Shutoku looked at the shadow and asked, "How could you make such a mistake in assassinating a half-crippled person?"

Kurokage glanced at Mai Shutoku and did not answer the question, because it was a knowing irony. Since it was an assassination, it was naturally impossible to carry out the assassination in a big way, but once restrictions were imposed, unexpected fierce resistance was encountered in the process. , failure is the inevitable result, even the black shadow with absolute power is no exception.

"It seems that Kassel College has indeed upgraded the security system, but unfortunately it is still not upgraded enough." Mai Shutoku looked at Patsy after finishing speaking, "What are you going to say next? Since you said you are not Robber, as a master, shouldn’t you save people first?”

Percy also glanced at Mai Jiudou and didn't answer, because this proposal was impossible. Let's not talk about which one has higher priority: killing Schneider in the heart of the black shadow or helping the King of Bronze and Fire break out of the cage. At least For him, the latter's priority was to save Schneider and prevent the Lord of Bronze and Fire from breaking out of his cage.

Schneider can die, and the information Frost Gattuso wants can be lost forever, but the Lord of Bronze and Fire can never reappear in the world. Even if Frost himself is here, his orders must be consistent with Percy's. What you think is consistent.

"That's so cold-blooded." Mai Shutoku said, and she looked at Mr. KFC again, "What about you?"

"I'm just a German student here to learn Chinese." Mr. KFC shrugged and said he didn't care.

"It seems that everyone is a cold-blooded monster. Four robbers with different agendas gather together. What are they going to do next?" Mai Shutoku said.

"Hey, it's impossible for four people to share a mahjong table anyway." Mr. KFC tilted his head, and his neck made a strange sound of bones twisting, like a rusty clockwork spinning for a long time.

"A robber meets a robber in a pile of treasures, and we are not on the same road, so the final outcome can only be a meeting on a narrow road, and the brave one wins, right? No one wants to share the only treasure with each other." Mai Shutoku said matter-of-factly, but she was still lazy Yangyang didn't even touch the knife, he just held his hands.

"Fighting between robbers and robbers for profit is a fair game, but killing is not. If I am a robber, then you are just thieves. There is no narrow road between robbers and thieves. The brave wins, there is only the slaughter of the weak by the strong. You should hide , instead of standing in the light. This is stupid. In the hands of those who hold power and power, there is no equal match. Weak people like you can only die like ants." The black shadow did not look at them, looking up at the golden tree. , the red curtain fell again on his wrist, connecting the blue lake.

The red light lit up again, and the ethereal low chant echoed in the cave of Yuanxu again, but this time, what flowed in the grooves of the vine tree matrix was no longer mercury, but thick red blood. , seen from the sky, the entire vine tree was dyed blood red from the roots, which reminded people of the illustration of the upside-down tree in the "Old Testament Genesis".

"Does this mean that this is a one-size-fits-all approach?" Mai Shutoku's tone and appearance were still so relaxed, but secretly she shuddered. The black shadow started to corrode the alchemy matrix again, and she couldn't help but look at it. The silver revolver in Percy's hand was guessing whether there was a second Philosopher's Stone bullet in it that could break the field.

But it is a pity that Patsy has not raised the revolver and fired the second shot until now.

This time the black shadow eroded the alchemy matrix much faster than the last time. What was shocking was that the bronze chains binding the Golden Tree began to be melted and corroded by the blood-red steam evaporating from the red-dyed mercury lake! The steam melted the structure of the bronze chain like strong acid. After the tension reached the limit, it suddenly broke and fell into the lake, causing large waves!

The bronze chains broke one after another, and the Yuanxu began to shake. The source was the golden tree embedded deep in the mercury lake! Large stalactites fell and smashed into the lake, falling to the ground and breaking into pieces. The weird, hoarse roar in the cracks in the tree trunk became more and more obvious, piercing people's brains as if it was penetrating!

At the same time, on the ground hundreds of meters above the rock formations, countless students in Kassel College who had fallen asleep were awakened. Without exception, they felt tingling in their brains, and many even lost control and had strong psychic reactions!

"I think we should do something. He's not trying to take it all, he's trying to overturn the table." Mr. KFC said in a low voice. The ridiculous paper bucket could not cover the torch-like golden eyes below.

Percy suddenly turned the drum of the revolver, and the drum rotated at high speed, making a cold mechanical sound. Mai Shutoku finally grasped the two knives on the left and right sides of her thighs with both hands, her golden eyes as bright as fire.

Mr. KFC took a sudden step back under the spotlight. This was not an attempt to escape, but a precursor to an attack! The invisible realm rose from his body, and the color and texture of his skin changed to a rock-like gray. The already strong muscles in his body further expanded, making him look like a stone giant!

Yan Ling·Bronze Throne

A stalactite fell from the sky towards Mr. KFC's back, but he did not dodge, letting the stone cone smash into powder on his hardened muscles. He bowed down like a "cake thrower" and started to accumulate strength!

And at the moment when the force reached the limit, Mr. KFC suddenly stopped, just like a balloon that stopped inflating just before it exploded. If he pressed the air pump one more time, the air pump would make a blast, but just this time, he was He stopped the car abruptly.

".Or maybe we can do nothing?" Mr. KFC said. He turned around and looked at the only elevator in Yuanxu. At some point, the elevator completed its ascent and descent again, bringing a new guest into this already crowded space.

He suddenly whistled, just like he did when he first saw Mai Shutoku, because it meant that he had discovered another beautiful woman tonight.

Amidst the tremors of the earth and the low singing, at the beginning of chaos and collapse, at the boundary between death and resurrection, the man arrived belatedly.

She walked onto the crumbling stage, stone pillars falling around her, flaming cables passing over her head, and she ignored it.

She walked to the edge of the stage, stopped, and glanced at the scene that was about to collapse. There seemed to be some surprise and disappointment in her eyes. Her bright golden eyes seemed to be accusing: The protagonist has not yet arrived, how can the finale be played? reason?

So she said angrily: "Quiet!" and clapped her hands.

In the darkness, those white palms struck each other, and the air was squeezed out from the seam between the palms. The applause that followed was clear and harsh, and in the ears of everyone in Yuanxu, it was like a lightning strike tearing apart the night sky!

In an instant, the mysterious and terrifying realm of the black shadow was suddenly shattered by an unspeakable force!

That crisp handclap proved to be so ordinary, but it gave people a deafening illusion. It was based on the storm of the soul and spirit, like a knife, cutting through the tsunami violently and powerfully, cutting off the powerful with even greater power. ! Smooth it out!

The weather was calm and everything before seemed like an illusion.

It was like an invisible shock wave swept across the battlefield. All the strange phenomena and disturbances were wiped out in an instant by the closing of the palms. Dead silence returned to Yuanxu, and the black shadow in front of Mercury Lake suddenly turned its head and died. Stare at the person who calmed down the storm and came across the sea.

At this time, the red light in the vine tree matrix no longer flickered and turned into darkness. The spotlights above the heads of several people also shattered and went out due to the earthquake. They looked around in the darkness and could only see each other's golden eyes.

In the darkness, the man's footsteps came softly, like walking barefoot on the ground. When she reached the appropriate position, she stood still.

The only intact spotlight on the dome was activated, and the current passed through it. The cracked lampshade began to heat up. With a "bang" sound, the bright light shot straight out from the corner and shone diagonally behind her. Her shadow was cast on the ground, covering everyone's figure.

Everyone saw her standing barefoot on the cold ground, with a strong light behind her, dazzling blond hair, and a spotless semi-transparent white dress. The hot light and shadow of the spotlight illuminated the exquisite and elegant figure underneath. Bi Xian, mysterious and beautiful.

The mysterious blond girl glanced at everyone on the stage without saying anything, holding her breath and lowering her eyes.

She is waiting for something, so others can only wait with her.

It wasn't until the ripples of the last stone cone falling into the mercury lake subsided that she moved. She bent down, raised her head and glanced at everyone's face, greeting with a smile, "Good evening, everyone." After a pause, she continued Said, "Except for one bad guy who's anxious."

The "bad guy" in the blonde girl's mouth stared at the blonde girl in the spotlight, as if he had seen a ghost resurrected during the day, with shock and weirdness in his eyes.
