On the second floor of the Hunter Guild, there are four armed men guarding the guild leader's office at the entrance.
After the explosion from North Street, Xu Liyan picked up the black phone with jingling bells and listened to his subordinates reporting to him the situation monitored by the drone.
Before he could give the order, a loud gunshot broke out at the city gate of South Street.
This made him frown instinctively, and had a bad premonition.
Xu Liyan waited patiently for a while, and finally a person was replaced on the other end of the phone to report the unexpected incident that the wanderers in the wilderness were causing riots and were about to rush into the city.
"Is this what the 'priest' wants?" Xu Liyan hung up the phone, dialed again, and connected to the top commander of the city defense army.
With a grim expression, he commanded:
"Assemble the main force immediately and push out all the wild wanderers who rushed in. Don't care how many people will die."
After giving this order, he called the confidant in charge of the city's main guard:
"Divided the manpower into two parts, one part went to the First Hospital with heavy weapons to assist Odick in solving the 'priest', and the other part assembled downstairs to escort me back to the City Lord's Mansion."
The City Lord's Mansion has permanent fortifications and underground bunkers, which are many times safer than the old building of the Hunters Guild.
Moreover, if the riots became more serious, the "priest" escaped from the encirclement again, and the situation could not be controlled in a short period of time, then under the protection of the city's main guard, he would be able to escape from the relatively safe and closer Beicheng Gate. Leave, return to your own manor, or go directly to another city.
After arranging these things in an orderly manner, Xu Liyan stood up and walked towards the door with the attendant, who was covered by a burqa and a hood.
The four armed men outside immediately dispersed and took their places, alerting possible attacks from different directions.
At this moment, Xu Liyan suddenly felt an itch on the back of his left hand.
He subconsciously reached out his right palm and scratched a few times on the back of his left hand.
Not only did the itching not go away, but it got worse.
Xu Liyan became anxious and became more and more forceful.
There were red scratches on the back of his hand.
Almost at the same time, unbearable itching appeared on his back, on his chest, on his thighs, on his face, everywhere he was covered or uncovered by his clothes.
The more he scratched, the more itchy, the more itchy, the more he wanted to scratch. In just a few seconds, he felt like 10,000 ants were crawling over his body.
Not only him, but the four armed men also reacted similarly, and they had reached the point where they couldn't hold the gun and just wanted to scratch their itch.
Dang, dang, dang, that one dropped the metal gun to the ground and bounced a few times.
The only one who didn't move was the mysterious man completely shrouded in the hooded burqa.
"Huh..." A slightly surprised voice sounded from a room at the other end of the corridor.
Then, a man came out.
This is a woman with long blond hair and light blue eyes. She has rough skin and slightly larger pores on her face, which looks very smelly.
She is the vice president of the local hunter's guild, Christina!
"You don't feel itchy?" She asked curiously, looking at Xu Liyan's very mysterious entourage.
While she was speaking, three people descended from the staircase near the president's office.
Some of them were holding pistols, some were holding "short-neck" submachine guns, and their eyes locked on Xu Liyan who was frantically scratching.
Among the three, one was a woman with a height of 1.65 meters and a baby face, and two were men, one was masculine and the other was weathered.
They are the remaining three members of the "old tune group" that disappeared earlier:
Wei Yu, Lu Jiqi, Yunhe!
At this moment, the mysterious man wearing a hooded robe took a step diagonally, blocking Xu Liyan and the three attackers behind.
In the sound of Dangdang, the mysterious man's body was hit by a large number of bullets, but only the clothes were damaged, and not a drop of blood was left.
With a swipe of the ground, the mysterious man tore off his robe, revealing a tall body composed purely of a black metal skeleton and various mechanical components that seemed to be full of intimidation.
He stood up with one hand and unhurriedly proclaimed the Buddha's name:
"Namo Anuttara Samaksabodhi, the poor monk no longer has this feeling.
"Although I still feel itchy, but I can endure it completely, it's like facing an hallucination."
This answers the question Kristina had just now.
He really is a mechanical monk, a mechanical monk living in this wasteland.
Kristina raised her eyebrows:
"Then what about a different one
"May your desires be satisfied."
The next second, Xu Liyan and his five bodyguards found that the itching on the body surface was gradually diminishing, and the mechanical monk's red eyes suddenly brightened, close to blood.
"Eros burst out? You really are an awakened person who believes in the age-old mandala." The mechanical monk muttered to himself, then put his hands together, and said calmly, "Female benefactor, the poor monk is not pure Brother Master and the others, they can barely control themselves."
When he spoke, Xu Liyan and the five bodyguards had already found a place to hide, and had a gun battle with Wei Yu, Lu Jiqi, and Yun He.
This mechanical monk was located in the heart of the shootout. He was hit by stray bullets, but he stood still, as if he had just encountered a torrential rain.
Kristina held down her crotch and bowed slightly:
"But it can be seen that you are also affected."
A smile floated on her face, but it seemed quite sacred:
"Mandala is in your heart and mine."
"Donor, everything in the world is illusory, and so are desires. If you are addicted to the pleasure brought by the flesh, you will be bound by it and become a female beast in the world." The mechanical monk's electronically synthesized voice actually brought out a bit of compassion a feeling of.
He folded his hands again and solemnly said:
"Six paths of reincarnation, animal path."
As soon as the mechanical monk finished speaking, Kristina saw countless beast phantoms.
There are wolves, tigers, hyenas, and wild boars, all looking at her with green eyes.
Under such gaze, Kristina's self-perception suddenly changed.
She found herself somehow transformed into a wolf too, covered in shaggy gray-black fur and hanging down her hay-dotted tail.
She was a little panicked, a little dazed, and wanted to say something, but only made a beast voice:
"Ouch..."
From Xu Liyan's point of view, Kristina and the other three attackers fell to the ground abruptly and strangely, propped up on all fours, and let out an "Ow" sound.
Their eyes seemed to have lost the light of wisdom.
"Haha..." Xu Liyan couldn't help laughing, walked out of the shelter, and said with some fear and some excitement, "You don't think I only have some ordinary bodyguards, relying solely on the help of 'senior hunters' invited from the guild? If it wasn't for Master Jing Nian, how could I have known in advance that someone was going to assassinate me?"
Xu Liyan's five bodyguards instinctively turned their heads and looked at the mechanical monk.
Although Jing Nian did not wear a monk's robe or cassock, with a bare metal skeleton and a body composed of heavy firepower, he still maintained the style of an eminent monk and said peacefully:
"The poor monk sees himself, and the most important supernatural powers obtained are:
"Foreknowledge."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gunfire at the location on South Street suddenly became blurred, and the entire building shook, shattering instantly, like a dream.
Xu Liyan shuddered suddenly, and found that he was still in the president's office and just put down the phone.
"Zen Master, just now..." Xu Liyan turned his head hurriedly, looking at Jing Nian, a mechanical monk in a hooded robe.
Before he could finish speaking, Jing Nian nodded:
"The poor monk was also dragged into an illusion and had a contest with Christina, the benefactor.
"It's a lot like a certain ability in the field of the end of the year."
"The last man... Isn't this the 'anti-Intellectualist' belief? 'Father'? Shouldn't he be in the First Hospital? They also have other awakened people?" Xu Liyan was shocked and angry, stood up, "At present, it is impossible to determine whether Christina has a problem. In the illusion, she behaves like the Church of the Holy of Desire. If she does participate, it means that someone in the First City wants me to die!"
Jing Nian proclaimed the Buddha's name in a low voice:
"Master Xu, leave here as soon as possible and return to the mansion."
The common illusion just now completely exposed his identity and showed two abilities.
This made him "predict" a strong crisis.
"Okay!" Xu Liyan pulled out his pistol and walked towards the door.
The five bodyguards outside immediately surrounded him, like a human shield.
They were all ready to block bullets with their bodies.
As long as the city lord does not die, their family members will surely receive the best care.
"Next, the highest alert state." Xu Liyan ordered.
"Yes, City Lord!" One of the bodyguards replied.
He immediately added:
"We were also dragged into that illusion just now, and we know what happened."
Xu Liyan looked at the bodyguard and found that he looked tired, with heavy dark circles and deep eyes.
"Yeah." Xu Liyan nodded, "When this matter is over, I won't be stingy with rewards!"
At this moment, the red light in Jing Nian's eyes suddenly became intense.
His helper chip tells him:
There were only four bodyguards outside before.
And his consciousness believes:
The total number of bodyguards is five, and now there is no problem!
"Not good..." Jing Nian's emotions sank, and he immediately used the "Beast Dao" with the greatest influence without distinction.
At this moment, the five bodyguards simultaneously raised their guns and aimed at Xu Liyan.
The eyes of four of them were a little dull and dull, as if they were not facing the city lord, but an enemy with a life-and-death feud.
Without the slightest delay, without any hesitation, they all pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
Sparks spewed from the muzzles of the five guns, and many bullets poured towards Xu Liyan.
