Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 162: One ring at a time

Views:

The "priest" who was under hypnosis didn't expect the other party to make a face.

Not only did he not expect it, but Shang Jianyao himself also did not expect it.

"Father" was stunned for a moment, then swiftly pounced to the side.

In the sound of bang, Shang Jianyao moved the muzzle of the gun very steadily with both hands, trying to draw a line of fire to cover the possible dodging area of "Father".

But at this moment, his hands lifted up involuntarily, turned the muzzle, and aimed at his head.

"Body Automatic"!

Shang Jianyao not only did not panic, but laughed.

Because this is a new experience.

His fingers were about to pull the trigger and shoot himself.

However, it suddenly forgot about this action and pressed the trigger, not knowing what to do next.

Shang Jianyao gave himself a "lack of hands movement".

At this time, he turned his head and looked at Odick, as if to say that it was your turn.

He never thought that the shot just now could hit the "Father", the purpose was to drive the "Father" to Odick's side and shorten the distance between the two.

In this matter, Jiang Baimian and him had an unusual tacit understanding, and in a hurry, he shot randomly to the left of the "Father", that is, in the direction away from Odick.

This forced the "Father" to pounce on the corridor where Odick was.

Odick gave up the predetermined goal, turned his body halfway, leaned against the wall, and locked on "Father".

Before "Father" could make the second roll, his eyes suddenly lost their luster, and their eyelids couldn't stop drooping.

In this fierce battlefield, he actually dozed off and was about to fall to the ground.

Of course, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian would not miss this opportunity. As soon as their hands recovered, they immediately moved their guns and aimed at the crumbling "priest".

However, before them, a bullet came from the other side of the corridor away from Odik.

From its angle, it was impossible to hit Odik at all, but it brought a "bang" gunshot.

The sound vibrated the eardrums and woke the "priest" from his slumber.

He didn't care to distinguish the situation, while he fell to the ground and continued to roll, he randomly selected a target, and let the corresponding hands actively raise the muzzle.

boom! boom!

Jiang Baimian's bullet shot into a fluorescent lamp on the ceiling, and a large number of glass fragments fell.

It was a bit dark around here.

Shang Jianyao's bullet hit the place where the "priest" was standing, causing a spark.

The priest in a black trench coat rolled into an empty room, stopped, took out a small glass bottle from his pocket, and threw it at Odik.

Odick didn't dare to let the object get close, he lifted his wrist and smashed it to pieces.

The next second, a strong vinegar smell permeated.

Odick's face changed, and he ran out of the corridor without thinking, returning to the middle of the hall, away from this area.

However, he only took two steps before sneezing.

The sneezing was so violent and frequent that Odyk stopped involuntarily, bent down, and couldn't do anything else.

The tip of his nose quickly turned red, looking rather comical.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Baimian instantly understood one thing.

That is, the price Odick paid is probably related to his nose and sense of smell.

He is allergic to the smell of vinegar, quite seriously!

This reminded Jiang Baimian of the scene when he first met Odick:

He looks calm and reserved, but the tip of his nose is red, like a clown.

Shang Jianyao therefore commented that the nose is too pointed and it is easy to be blown red by the cold wind.

Thinking about it now, Odick must have passed South Street that day, smelled a little vinegar, and sneezed a lot.

And "Father" actually accurately grasped the price Odick paid, made preparations in advance, and at the most critical moment abolished this powerful hunter who was not afraid of most awakened people one-on-one.

—The reason why he didn't sprinkle vinegar in the hall beforehand was because Odick wouldn't enter at all.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Baimian chose to retreat.

She even ran and rolled, and quickly came to the near door area.

She didn't want to abandon Shang Jianyao and run away, but to distance herself as soon as possible, so as not to be affected by the "priest"'s Awakener ability.

And as long as it is not under control, the current distance can only be regarded as a medium-range distance for her, and she can almost hit every shot.

The next second, her legs stiffened, making her nearly fall.

"Father" put one hand in his pocket, walked out of the room he had been hiding from, and said with a faint smile:

"It's useless.

"The whole building is within my reach.

"Just now, the main reason was to control Odick, and only narrowed the distance."

His pale face, coupled with such an environment, looked extremely morbid.

Shang Jianyao didn't move because he was fighting with his hands.

If he hadn't used the "lack of movement of both hands" in time, he would have successfully "suicided" just now.

During this process, he also transferred the effect of his abilities to Jiang Baimian from time to time, lest she also shoot "suicide".

"Father" is constantly changing the target, so as to control the enemy one by two.

This made it impossible for him to perform more delicate operations, such as letting Jiang Baimian "walk" to the wall on his own and commit suicide by hitting the wall.

Shang Jianyao was quite excited while paying attention to the state of himself and Jiang Baimian, who was always in the state of using his abilities, and said with a smile:

"Villains always die of talking too much, don't you know?"

Wearing a black trench coat, the "priest" who was just recovering from a serious illness smiled:

"I said so much, isn't it because I can't do anything else

"While using one ability, you cannot use the second ability unless you have entered the 'Spiritual Corridor' and obtained some special 'items'.

"As an Awakened, you should know very well that your other abilities cannot be used at all right now."

In other words, the "priest" is not afraid of being overcast now.

"Father" then glanced left and right, smiled and said:

"And I have two servants."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a person on both sides of the corridor. They quickly approached here, showing their appearance:

One wears a baseball cap, has sword-like eyebrows, and looks good, but the eyes give the impression that they are not fully opened.

Lei Yunsong! Lin Feifei!

After being missing for nearly two months, their eyes were slightly blank. At the same time, they raised their guns and aimed at Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian respectively.

At this time, the "Father"'s smile became more obvious:

"By the way, I forgot to tell you.

"I didn't go around the city to enhance the effect of the previous hypnotic ritual.

"The reinforcements you are looking forward to may not be able to make it."

Odick, Shang Jianyao, and Jiang Baimian tracked the "Father" and drove to the north. Outside the city wall, countless wanderers in the wilderness were still kneeling or sitting, as if they had lost their souls.

It's extraordinarily cold today, it seems to snow at any time, and there are very few people out of the city - enough people who are willing to buy slaves and all kinds of junk.

A man with a beard that hasn't been shaved for a long time sat beside the dug out, staring blankly at his wife and children who were about to faint from hunger.

At this time, a man wrapped in a ripped cotton jacket came over, also dirty and full of beard.

"A Cai, we have to think of something." The man said to his companion beside the ground nest.

Ah Cai slowly turned his head and looked over:

"Li Tou, what can I do?"

He seemed to be weak when he spoke.

Li Tou grinned, smiling a little bit grimly:

"Break in! Let's break in together!

"If you don't break through, the snow will come, and you won't be able to survive tonight. If you break through, at least there will be a way to survive!"

"How can I break in? It's not like I haven't tried it before..." Ah Cai glanced at his wife and children, feeling a little moved.

Li Tou said solemnly:

"That time was too reckless and not cruel enough.

"We can first mix with the group of people at the city gate, find an opportunity to kill the guards at the gate, and then call everyone to rush in together!

"No matter how many guns and bullets there are on the city wall, can we have more people than us?"

As he spoke, he pulled up his clothes, revealing an old revolver.

"You didn't sell this gun?" Ah Cai was a little surprised.

Li Tou's eyes twitched:

"Probably all 'eat' to the end, and no one has come out to collect it recently. Hey, I can't sell it if I want to sell it.

"I know that there are many people who have a similar situation. If you organize them, there are dozens or hundreds of guns, and you are afraid that you will not be able to break in

"It could be life."

"I don't know how many people will die..." Ah Cai slowly stood up.

"What are you afraid of? You may not even be able to live tonight, and are you afraid of death?" Li Tou's expression became extremely gloomy, "I really can't rush in, we can go and rob those nearby manors, there are fewer people and fewer guns. , there is a lot of food. If this is not enough, so many people have died, and you can't eat enough

"A Cai, I don't want to go this far, it's all thieves forced by God! Do you want to watch your Axiu and Tianniu starve to death? You want to wait until you can't stand it anymore, let's exchange children, we eat Your Tianniu, you eat my little Erhei, so that you won't be able to do anything?"

Ah Cai's expression changed slightly, and his expression gradually became cruel:

"Okay! I'll follow you!

"If you die, there will be no such things!"

Li Tou said with satisfaction:

"You haven't sold that broken speaker yet, have you?"

"No." Cai shook his head and said, "It still works."

"Okay, I'll give it to me later, I want everyone to hear my voice." Li Tou took a breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Seriously, if we don't hold each other and fight hard, then we are really dead. !"

Ah Cai had no objection and asked eagerly:

"Where else can I use it

"Who else are you looking for?"

"No, I have already contacted the first group of people." After Li Tou finished speaking, he turned his head to the city gate.

His eyes gradually became fierce, and his eyes were faintly red.

Ah Cai and many people around him also looked over there with the same eyes.
