Chapter 794 The Fire in the Long Night (Second update~Please vote for me~)

At this moment, the boundary of the southern part of Area E0.

Two figures, one big and one small, were walking through the alley.

To be precise, there were actually three figures. However, the heavy basket on Xiao Man's back did not move at all. The baby was surprisingly quiet and did not make the slightest sound.

"Where are we going?"

Xiaoman didn't dare to say anything, so she just followed Gu Shen.

"Go to the South Cave."

Gu Shen said calmly: "The S12 living area is not safe until you enter the high wall."

"That's where I came from..."

Xiao Man lowered his voice and whispered.

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows and looked back at the little guy carrying the basket.

The two walked quickly, but did not hinder their conversation.

"Didn't you ask me what my name is..."

Xiaoman whispered: "I have no parents, I should have starved to death, but I was lucky. Someone picked me up a few years ago and kept me for two or three years. 'Xiaoman' is the name they gave me. I didn't have much at that time." I only remember this. Later, they died of illness and someone took me away, but that person had no good intentions and raised me to sell me. "

She paused.

"Later...these guys encountered wild beasts when they took me out of the city..."

That was already after the awakening experiment started.

"I met a beast, and then what?"

Gu Shen asked: "They are dead, but you are alive?"

"Um……"

Xiao Man smiled self-deprecatingly, "Isn't that nonsense? Those beasts didn't eat me, well...and him."

She weighed her feet lightly and shook the basket behind her.

This basket is actually quite heavy.

But now on the way out of the city, the girl's pace was unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Later on, I took him to live together. No one in Area E0 was willing to take us in, but it didn't matter. Even if there was no one to support him, I could actually feed myself."

Xiaoman's tone was very soft, and her voice was full of indifference. In fact, what she meant by "relying on her own" was to pick up things from the garbage mountain.

Gu Shen felt sad in his heart when he heard this.

"Although I get beaten occasionally."

Xiao Man smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, I have a strong bone. In two years, when he grows up, I will take him to fight with me... By then no one will dare to snatch things from me. Look at how quiet he is. , I know he will be very powerful in the future.”

Gu Shen also smiled in cooperation.

"what is his name?"

"He has no name."

Xiao Man raised his head and said seriously: "Actually, I don't have a name either, because no one here will call us by our names."

The two stopped in front of the high-walled alley in the southern area.

Gu Shen stopped moving forward.

"The area is closed..."

Xiaoman clasped his fingers tightly on the hemp rope and asked in a nervous voice, "Is there any way for you to get out?"

"certainly."

Gu Shen smiled.

He said softly: "Remember... when the high wall door opens, there will be many people running out together. Just run away with them. Run to the south. Don't stop. Run far enough away, and there will naturally be people." Come to pick you up."

Xiaoman was confused, but she didn't understand much.

In the past two years, the evil people in the church have also sealed off the area. More than once, she knew that the door was closed, so she would not open it easily again.

She just remembered some simple messages.

Escape, escape to the south.

"And...remember my name, Gu Shen, we will meet again soon."

Gu Shen gently patted the child's head.

He turned around and walked towards the depths of the alley in the direction he came from. Xiaoman looked back and saw that it was already dark, but she felt warm on her body, as if there was a wisp of fire burning in her heart, which gave her the strength to carry on. Confidence.

Gu Shen was walking in the streets.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, the 'neutral ones' in Area E0 are ready."

"As long as you issue an order, a large number of people will take to the streets soon. The whole process is expected to take ten minutes. We will open the three high-walled gates of the 'Eastern District', 'Northern District', and 'Southern District'... as At the cost of the operation, the 'neutral' people who opened the door will flee with the marchers, and then completely give up their lurking work in the E0 area."

Zhuang Su's voice sounded in Gu Shen's heart.

Gu Shen turned around and glanced in the direction of Xiaoman.

He said calmly: "Okay, we can start now."

Give an order.

In the long silent night in Area E0, there were suddenly some very slight sounds.

That was the sound of the door being pushed open.

During the night, one door after another was pushed open.

One after another, aborigines wearing cloth robes and ragged clothes walked onto the street barefoot... In this overburdened slum, there had long been buried a fire that burned for a long time. That fire was being squeezed by the church. It has already existed, but it has never erupted. But tonight, someone lit the fuse, and more and more residents of the E0 area took to the streets. The sound of "sealed area" alarms echoed in the sky, and drones roared and flew over. After that, warnings of "curfew" kept coming, but the fire on the ground tore through the long night, and someone took action and knocked down the first drone.

Then came the second one, the third one...

The huge crowds of people came out from all directions. He Chan, who was at the highest point of the central tower in the city, looked at the scene with a gloomy expression. He was about to set off for the northern area, but he never thought that such a big mess would occur at such a critical moment. What he didn't expect was that there were so many untouchables who had awakened basic extraordinary abilities and were so bold!

They were afraid of the church.

Don't they fear the Source Tower, which is more powerful and more terrifying than the church!

Someone lit a torch.

More than one.

There were more and more parades on the street. They held flames to drive away the darkness and smashed down all the whistling drones. The "neutral person" who ignited the flame disappeared in the crowd...

Or.

In the long night at this moment, everyone is a "neutral person".

The fire in the long night is getting stronger!

The dull roar resounded on the streets of the city, like a heart about to revive. Gu Shen walked in the dark night of the streets, listening to the increasingly orderly and solemn roar.

Xiaoman carried a basket on his back and stared at this unprecedented scene.

Not just them.

Every native who came to the street at this moment... heard the sound made by themselves, which almost shook the entire E0 city...

"Boom boom boom--"

Accompanied by this long and loud noise, the east gate of the E0 district, which was ordered to be closed, slowly opened.

A neutral person drew his sword and killed the gatekeeper who was "mentally enslaved", and took the lead in opening a corner of the entire blocked city. The parade broke the cage. They knew where the direction of freedom was, left the E0 district, and then ran to the south. The neutral person had already released the news that the largest "S12 Living District" in the South Cave was willing to accept and treat them well!

He Chan, standing on the tower, looked extremely ugly.

How many people are needed to control a city district.

Five people.

Yes, under the condition of stable order.

Five high-level extraordinary people from the Source Tower are enough.

But... at this moment, a large number of people began to riot, and the situation was out of control. The five law enforcers all jumped to a high place. Facing this sudden situation, they all fell into silence...

And in silence, the north gate also opened, the neutrals killed the gatekeeper slaves, and then led the marching people to rush out of the city wall!

"Everyone gather at the north gate."

He Chan said coldly: "Don't kill indiscriminately, the target person may be in the crowd... Use mental power to suppress the riot as much as possible."

He took a deep breath and made the final decision.

The order was given, and He Chan stepped on the central tower and quickly rushed towards the direction of the north district. He didn't know whether he made such a choice right or wrong... Lord Suzaku will soon bring people to arrive. This level of riots cannot be solved by himself, but if the gods arrive and expand the domain, there should be a chance to control it.

In any case, I will guard the most likely "exit" first!

The wind is howling.

He Chan caught a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of his eye. The man was wearing a black robe. Like himself, he was stepping on buildings and rushing towards the exit of the northern district.

His mental power spread out——

But the strange thing was that the man's location was as dark as ink, almost blending into the night!

This was a strong man with a mental power stronger than his own!

Realizing this, He Chan was shocked. The next moment, the figure running on the alley suddenly accelerated, bursting out in an instant, and came directly in front of He Chan.

"Clang!"

A flash of knife light came out.

He Chan subconsciously drew his knife, and he backhanded a knife. As a result, the figure came and went quickly, and his body movements were extremely light. The moment He Chan drew his knife, he suddenly retreated, and the whole person was like a rootless duckweed, just brushing the arc of the knife.

"Who is it? Tell me your name!"

He Chan's voice was faintly angry.

The one who rushed out backwards, without making any sound, just looked at him "quietly".

The two looked at each other.

He Chan stopped drawing his sword and continued to rush towards the north gate. Then the next moment, the scene reappeared, and the black shadow in the robe came up again in an instant, but this time when He Chan drew his sword, the black shadow did not retreat.

"Kacha!"

When the long sword was about to hit his shoulder, the black shadow stretched out his other arm, and in a flash, he flicked out two fingers and suddenly hit the long sword hard, chiseling out a burst of crisp light and fire!

"Ding!"

He Chan was shocked.

His sword was actually trembling after being hit by such a flick of the finger.

What kind of terrifying physical strength is this?

There is something more important than shaking the sword.

When strong men fight, they can sense a lot of information in just a moment... Compared to whether he can gain an advantage in the duel, He Chan is more concerned about the identity of this "mysterious man". Why are so many people taking to the streets tonight? This cannot be just a coincidence. Someone is planning a layout. What he has to do is to find out the identity of this guy.

The knife tilted.

He revealed a flaw.

"Pa!"

Then the black shadow mercilessly slapped him in the face. He Chan, who was originally flying over a row of roofs, was knocked over by this slap and fell heavily in the alley.

"Bang!"

He Chan stood up immediately after falling to the ground, holding his knee with one hand, and struggling to stabilize the blade of the sword with the other hand. His face was cold and he stared at the "black shadow" in front of him.

Gu Shen was hovering under the eaves of an old brick house, hanging upside down like a bat, as if sticky.

"You dare not show your true face to others..."

He Chan wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and said coldly: "Are you afraid of the reckoning of the Source Tower?"

"..."

Gu Shen smiled silently, wrapped in a robe, wearing a ghost mask, and just stared at He Chan calmly.

"Do you think I can't guess it?"

He Chan also smiled.

He held the knife in both hands and said faintly: "I have guessed who you are... You can't escape, Lord Suzaku will be here soon."

...
