A Fictional Republic of China (16)
When the sound of artillery fire rang out, the people who heard the sound were startled, screamed, and fled in panic.
During the war years, even if they experienced a brief period of peace, when they heard such a slight disturbance again, these ordinary people who had experienced fatigue and despair would still be like rabbits seeing a snake, panicking and running for their lives as fast as they could.
What can be done?
They are all ordinary people.
Because they often don't have enough to eat, they do very hard work every day, they don't have much strength in their hands, and they don't have weapons at home. Where do they have the courage to resist people with weapons?
In the midst of such a scattering, there were people selling steamed buns on the street, people running small grocery stores, and people who had just come out of a clothing store.
Many such seemingly ordinary people came out of their own areas one after another, closed their eyes, and listened quietly to the sound.
After confirming that they were in the direction of the military academy, they quickly looked at each other, dispersed, and began to do what they had prepared for a long time.
Some of these students who graduated from the school entered the government of various systems openly, while others were turned into hidden stakings and placed in various parts of Ji Changze's lair to ensure that if anything happens, the stakings can quickly come to support.
A student who knows a little bit about every skill and has experienced strong training is not to be feared.
But if there are a hundred or a thousand, and they can transform into instructors after leaving school, and they are supported by Ji Changze, an instructor with huge financial resources, then the situation will be very different.
"Don't panic, everyone, let's go to the air raid shelter. I know where the nearest air raid shelter is. Line up in an orderly manner and follow me."
A fair-skinned young man walked backwards into the fleeing crowd and opened his arms to stop their aimless escape.
How could the already panicked crowd listen to this? They all went their separate ways as usual.
The young man was not angry, he just took out his gun and fired several shots into the air.
――Bang, bang, bang!
After the gunshots were fired, the crowd screamed in terror. After the screams, everyone became quiet.
"Everyone, you can listen to me now, follow me, I will take you to the air raid shelter."
A woman's face was pale, her eyes searching the crowd: "Sanya, Sanya!!"
"My daughter, my daughter is missing, have you seen it? Such a tall little girl, have you seen it?"
She was searching anxiously and frantically when a little girl was suddenly thrust into her arms.
"mother."
"Sanya!!"
The woman burst into tears immediately and hugged her daughter quickly. She looked up with tears on her face and saw a young man with a bright smile standing in front of her: "Don't thank me, my eyesight is first class." Yes, I even won the best exploration award in school.”
"Let's go quickly. Otherwise, if you can't keep up with the big team, my senior sister will come to take you. She is very fierce."
"Thank you, thank you."
The woman held her child in her arms and followed the large army away in a panic.
The young man was about to turn around and go somewhere else when his head was suddenly hit. He screamed in pain, covered his head and looked at the tree angrily: "Senior sister, you hit me again."
"Who told you to talk about people behind their backs?"
The so-called senior sister, who was about twenty years old, had a whistle hanging around her neck and was wearing a simple short game uniform. She sat on a tree and swayed her legs: "You kid, I graduated before you, do you know I respect my seniors?" "
"The instructor said that we don't do that in the school."
"So, isn't it true that I have graduated and am no longer in school? Get out now. I really don't understand why the instructor doesn't let me go to the battlefield. Isn't it okay for anyone to maintain order?"
She jumped down from the tree, walked straight through the crowd, picked up an old lady who fell, touched her leg bones, and whistled. Immediately, students wearing red hats came running quickly with a car: "Senior sister. "
"It's broken, you can pull it away."
The young man curled his lips at her hard-mouthed and soft-hearted look, and suddenly saw a crying child in the distance from the corner of his eye. He immediately ran over and said, "Kid, are you lost with the adults?"
Outside the walls of the military academy, the enemy could not even get through the door before they fell under the gunfire that seemed to never lack ammunition.
Ji Changze swung the crossbow and arrow in his hand, and when the other party wanted to escape, he shot an arrow past, and the highest-ranking man fell down with an arrow.
"Do you know how he died?"
When Wang Qiyi heard Ji Changze's question, he tried his best to open his eyes to see, and then replied very seriously: "Of course he was shot to death by an arrow from you, boss! Boss, you are so awesome!! You are so awesome!!"
"No, he was fooled to death."
Ji Changze raised his eyebrows, looked at Ji Zhuzhu, who was running around various corpses in a panic towards the distance, and clicked his tongue.
"You actually believed Ji Zhuzhu, and you were tricked to death like that."
"I'll go out and you guys can clean up the mess. By the way, you haven't been back for a long time. Do you know how to clean up the mess?"
Wang Qiyi really didn't understand. He thought for a moment in confusion before tentatively replying: "Burn all these people to avoid the plague?"
"Half right."
Ji Changze hung the crossbow and arrows on his arm: "Remember to touch them to see if they have any money or anything. Could it be that they came to beat us in such a hurry and didn't leave anything as compensation in the end?"
If you have invaded someone else's country, do you still need to confidently ask them to help collect the corpse?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"Instructor, you are here, you want to...ah! Instructor!!"
A student looked blankly at Ji Changze riding away and touched his head in confusion.
The instructor is very irritable today.
Ji Changze was indeed very irritable.
He was not surprised that the enemy came to fight. After all, they were people from different countries.
But Ji Zhuzhu.
Bring the enemy to fight against your own people.
And that stupid certain official actually believed what Ji Zhuzhu said.
His second brother is really becoming more and more promising, and he has become a traitor.
He was riding a horse, and Ji Zhuzhu couldn't outrun him on two legs.
Ji Changze successfully blocked Ji Zhuzhu by the river.
"Nagaze, Nagasawa, please spare me. I don't want to. If I don't help them, they will kill me. Nagasawa, Nagasawa is really... really, we are brothers. If you If you kill me, my grandparents will be sad..."
Under the crossbow and arrows, Ji Zhuzhu knelt down and begged Ji Changze desperately.
Ji Changze slowly put down the crossbow and arrows, his face expressionless: "Really?"
"Really, really Nagasawa, you believe me."
Ji Zhuzhu kept pleading: "We all had unhappy moments when we were young, but you always had the upper hand. I never succeeded in hurting you, right? Nagasawa, please let me go. I am willing to accept punishment. I know that I Guilty, don’t kill me, don’t kill me, okay?”
Then he heard Ji Changze say: "Okay."
Even after so much time, the facial features had not changed much, they were just opened. The handsome and enviable young man stretched out his hand towards him with a bright smile on his face:
"Second brother, let me pull you up."
Ji Zhuzhu looked at him suspiciously for several seconds before slowly reaching out with trembling hands and holding his younger brother's hand.
After tightening his grip, Ji Changze pulled him to his feet slowly.
As soon as he stood firm, he smiled at his younger brother: "Nagaze, I knew you wouldn't bear it. I really wanted to apologize to you. You...go to hell!!!"
The man who looked grateful just now pushed hard, and Ji Changze, who was less than sixteen years old and could be called a boy, was pushed into the deep river.
After entering, there was no movement at all, as if it was sinking slowly.
Ji Zhuzhu looked at the river nervously, and after realizing that there was indeed no movement, he showed a relaxed look on his face: "Haha... Hahahahaha, dead, finally dead... If I had known, if I had known you were such a hindrance, When you were a child, I should have strangled you to death..."
"I won, I won..."
He was congratulating himself in a relaxed manner, and was about to stagger away when a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Second brother, do you know why you can't beat me every time?"
Ji Zhuzhu's body froze, and the blood all over his body seemed to have solidified.
In disbelief, he turned around slowly and stiffly, like a wooden sculpture.
Then he met Ji Changze's gaze, who was soaking wet and wringing out his clothes.
Seeing him, Ji Changze smiled at him.
"You lost because the weakness you saw was deliberately shown to you by me."
He shook his hair to wet it, shrugged at Ji Zhuzhu, and said in the innocent tone that Ji Zhuzhu hated most:
"Everyone knows that I can do everything, but I'm not afraid of water, right?"
"Ever since I was little, everyone has seen that I would not go to the river when others were playing in the water. So everyone knows that I am not easy to mess with and that I am good at skills. So if someone wants to deal with me, Don’t you just want to drown me?”
Ji Changze's eyes were smiling, and he easily told Ji Zhuzhu, who was looking desperate: "This is also a good way to catch those rats hiding in the gutter, but it is only for moles. I used to beat one who was lame. Yes, just like you, second brother, you wanted to drown me, but when you saw me getting up from the water like a water ghost, wow, I was so scared that I [accidentally] committed suicide by drinking a bomb. It was really scary. , I was still a child, and I saw such a terrifying scene.”
"After all, second brother, you are the thirteenth person who wanted to drown me. Do you know why the twelve people in front of me knew that I could swim, but the news was not revealed at all?"
Ji Zhuzhu was shaking all over.
Having been with a certain countryman for so long, he could already understand the meaning of this sentence.
Why didn't those who discovered the secret reveal it?
Because only the dead can keep secrets forever.
Ji Changze walked towards Ji Zhuzi step by step.
Ji Zhuzhu's legs were paralyzed, unable to move, and he looked at Ji Changze with great fear.
This time, Ji Changze will not let him go.
He knew this clearly.
Perhaps because he knew he would definitely die, he didn't want to lose even more.
Ji Zhuzhu's hands clenched the soil on the ground. He was obviously about to pee with fear, but he still tried hard to show off the pride of a winner: "Ji Changze, do you think you will win if you kill me?"
"I tell you! I can't die! I am a person who is favored by God! Even if I die now, I can still live. I can live before you are born. When the time comes, I will definitely I'll kill you! I won't give you a chance to grow up! Nothing will change without you!"
Ji Changze narrowed his eyes and stopped holding the crossbow and arrow.
Seeing him like this, Ji Zhuzi regained some confidence and laughed proudly and crazily: "You were a stillborn baby in the last life, so I didn't guard against you in this life, but it will be different in the next life. I will kill you when you are still a baby. What can you do? You won't grow up."
"If God lets me live again, there will be a second and third time. You can't kill me because I am taken care of by God."
--Swoosh!
Ji Zhuzi fell to the ground with a bang with a look of disbelief on his face.
Ji Changze pulled the arrow out of him.
"So that's how it is. No wonder I always feel that you are out of place."
Ji Zhuzi trembled, feeling the passing of life in pain and fear, and looked at his brother who had not become a stillborn in this life in fear: "Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid that I will live again and kill you?"
"What am I afraid of? It's not me who will suffer the worst, second brother. Believe me, with your brain, even if you live again a hundred times, you will end up with a tragic death, unless you give up hurting people."
Ji Changze wiped the bloody arrow and pouted:
"But I think that letting a scum like you live again, such a mistake should not happen again."
He turned around and walked two steps, and suddenly turned his head to look at the place where Ji Zhuzi was.
After looking for two seconds, he sighed with a little regret, rode away on his horse.
Beside Ji Zhuzi, the ghost officer hid behind another ghost officer in a panic: "He was looking at us just now, right? He was looking at us, right? It's really as scary as the legend says. I was almost scared to death when he looked at me just now."
"You are already dead, how can you die again? I heard that he hasn't given up on catching us to do things for him. Fortunately, he can't see us. Okay, okay, hurry up and escort this criminal away, traitor, huh."
But this time, the criminal ghost might have a problem with his brain. When he was caught and taken away, he kept shouting that he didn't want to leave and wanted to be resurrected again.
Resurrected ghost, he committed so many sins and still wanted to be resurrected. Suffering is not light enough.
After Ji Changze went back, he locked himself in the room. Several younger brothers who were called back because of this incident looked at each other.
"What's wrong with the boss? He doesn't look happy."
"Yeah, it's so scary. I don't dare to report in. I'll come back tomorrow."
"But what's wrong with him? He won the battle and seized so many weapons. Shouldn't he be happy?"
Wang Qiyi sat on the sofa with a deep face, touching his chin with his hand, his eyes full of contemplation: "I know why the boss is like this."
"Why?"
Wang Qiyi: "Because the boss executed Ji Zhuzi himself."
"That traitor? Didn't the boss always hate him? How could he be unhappy after killing him?"
"Yes, Ji Zhuzi brought people to wipe us out. According to the boss's temperament, he must give him hope before he dies, and then let him despair. Finally, after a quick and efficient kill, he should come back in a good mood."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Wang Qiyi smacked his lips.
Pretending to be deep: "You guys still don't understand the boss. Our boss, although he looks fierce on the outside, actually has a very, very kind heart."
"After all, they are cousins. They got along for so long when they were young. Although they usually hate each other, it must be very uncomfortable to execute each other with their own hands."
The younger brothers looked at each other; "Is that so?"
"So the boss is such a soft-hearted person."
"Then let's not bother the boss, let him be alone."
The group left with pity for the boss, sighing all the way.
"So, the boss is such a good brother, why doesn't that Ji Zhuzi know how to cherish him?"
"I thought the boss would play with Ji Zhuzi like a cat playing with a mouse before killing him. It seems that I still don't know the boss well enough. Brother Qiyi, you are still better."
"That's right, I haven't been undercover for so long in vain. Observing words and expressions to guess people's hearts is my strong point."
Inside the house, Ji Changze lay on the table with a depressed look on his face.
Ah, it's really sad.
I have clearly felt the existence of souls for so many years, why can't I see them?
It would be great if I could see them.
With so many ghost resources and such good subordinates, if they are ghosts, they should be able to pass through walls and get information without being discovered. Moreover, many people must have died in the past dynasties. Even if only one tenth of them are left, it would be enough for him to use.
Moreover, ghosts don't need to eat or sleep, so they don't even need to be paid.
How come, why can't I get such a good subordinate?
"Ah..."
Sixteen-year-old Ji Changze lay on the table and sighed.
He suddenly sat up and looked at the side of the table with sharp eyes: "You! Don't move! I know you are there!"
Only a ghost passing by froze in place, looking at this terrifying living person who has already spread his reputation with horror.
"Don't move, I want to try again, where did I put my cow's tears?"
Ji Changze took out the cow's tears from the cabinet, dripped them on his eyes, and looked at the sensed position with expectation.
Still nothing.
The excitement on his face immediately faded, and he frowned in disappointment.
Even fresh cow's tears won't work? It seems that the ghost subordinate's wish may not be fulfilled. What a pity, there are so many good subordinates who don't need salary.
Guizashi felt his darkened aura due to disappointment, and shivered and shrank into a ball: "Then, um, can I, can I go..."
Ji Changze couldn't hear it, but he happened to wave: "Let's go, let's go."
Ah, depressing.
We are in need of people. Why are these ghosts so useless? No matter how hard we try, we can't see them. However, Ji Zhuzhu was killed by him and he had so much resentment. Maybe he will turn into a bad ghost after he dies. Since he is a bad ghost, he should be able to let him go. Did anyone see it?
Thinking about it, Ji Changze became energetic again, took out his dagger and sprinkled glutinous rice on it, eager to try.
Gui Cha: "..."
Mother! ! Is this killing ghosts? ! !
He jumped off the building like the wind and ran away.
I fell downstairs and collapsed. I tried my best to inflate myself and stood up. When it was done, it floated away like flying.
Sure enough, we shouldn’t have taken this road. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh going to be transferred to the precinct before this guy dies, otherwise it’s really hard to imagine how scary it would be to be alive and how scary it would be to die.
Outside, a few subordinates who had just left came in sneakily and neatly placed a bunch of delicious food on the table.
"I hope the boss will feel better after eating delicious food."
"Hey, our boss is good at everything, but he's too soft-hearted."
