When Tao Siyu looked at him in shock, Tao Xiyu was already retreating out of the city: "Don't you care who takes over the Fengmen? Don't you want to live your own life? I'll go to the Palace of Punishment and admit that I am the Little Heavenly King. , they won’t embarrass me, and with your ability, it won’t be difficult to escape. You can remain anonymous!”
Tao Siyu's face suddenly sank and he said, "Come back, otherwise, don't blame me for not missing our old friendship."
"I will never betray you, don't worry." Tao Xiyu turned over and fell to the bottom of the city, quickly running towards the opposite city gate.
I reached out and pulled out the Magnum and handed it into Tao Siyu's hand: "You decide!"
Tao Siyu raised his hand and shot out of the city, then threw the pistol back to me: "From now on, call me Tao Xiyu."
Tao Siyu, no, it should be Tao Xiyu, pulled the trigger without even taking aim. Of course, the bullet could not hit her stand-in.
When Tao Xiyu took over the pistol, her stand-in had not been able to get out of the Magnum's shooting range. If Tao Xiyu wanted to kill someone, her stand-in would immediately fall into a pool of blood. Unfortunately, she still left some room.
Tao Xiyu had the decisiveness of a superior to kill, but she could not bear the blow of sending away the substitute herself. After all, she had once been willing to take risks alone for a substitute.
According to my thinking, since the substitute has chosen to leave in times of crisis, and may even betray Tao Xiyu for this, then the previous friendship should be wiped out, because Tao Xiyu is worthy of the friendship between them.
Tao Xiyu said: "This shot is Tao Xiyu's explanation of the past, and it is also the beginning of Tao Xiyu's real return to the world. Forgive me for being willful, I'm sorry."
I wanted to say something, but Ye Xun spoke first: "Her life and death has nothing to do with the overall situation, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Not long after Tao Xiyu put down his pistol, I said in a deep voice: "Tao Xiyu, you take them to hide at this location on the map. You must be quick. I will come soon."
That map once marked an evacuation location, which would be relatively safer. However, if we all hide in, no one will control the machine city, and I won't know what will happen next, so Someone has to stay.
After Tao Xiyu led the people away quickly, Si Ruo turned back. I exclaimed in shock: "What are you doing back here?"
"Accompany you." Si Ruo simply said two words and then stood beside me, "What are you going to do after this escape?"
I shook my head and said, "I never thought about it."
I really didn't think much about it, I didn't even know if I could escape.
Si Ruo looked into the distance and said, "Go on a trip! You owe me a graduation trip, a trip without fighting or exploring gods."
I subconsciously said, "Where do you want to go?"
"It's fine to go anywhere." Si Ruo said softly, "We don't bring weapons, and we don't bring too much money, just like when we just graduated, we want to travel every day, but we have to carefully calculate the money in our pockets. How wonderful it was then..."
I smiled bitterly and said: "Unfortunately, there were too many mistakes at that time. If..."
"Don't say what if..." Si Ruo smiled and said, "I just want to be Dong Xiaowei again. Can you also be Wang Huan from the Liaoning Academy of Sciences again?"
I nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go traveling together."
Si Ruo smiled and stretched out a finger: "Let's pull the hook!"
Hook
I couldn't help but be stunned. Ever since I entered the world, I have almost forgotten this word. A word worth a thousand dollars and a promise belongs to the world, and is more important than the world. It is full of pride, but it lacks a sense of innocence.
When I stretched out my hand to Si Ruo, I couldn't help but feel a warmth flowing through my heart. We seem to have returned to our school days, the time when we could cry, laugh, and agree on everything with two fingers. She was still Dong Xiaowei, and I was still Wang Huan.
Just when our fingers were about to touch, I heard the roar of a rocket piercing the sky. When I turned around, four or five guns pushing and pulling blazing fireworks were already coming through the air in our direction.
"Get down!" I dragged Si Ruo to the ground, and then a roar of gunfire rose into the sky, and half of the tower we were in was suddenly blown open. The shattered masonry poured down instantly. I felt the stones were hitting me, but I didn't dare to move at all. It wasn't until the explosion stopped that I took Si Ruo out of the dust.
At this time, countless disciples of the Xing Palace had already swarmed towards the third city. A large number of people and dense firepower were always pressing on the top of the city. Si Ruo and I just glanced outside and were crushed by a torrential rain of bullets. Returned to his original position.
In just a moment, countless disciples from the Hall of Punishment rushed to the city, and more than half of the elders flew up to the city in an instant. There was no warning in advance for this general attack on the Xingdian Palace, and the troops moved with great speed, seizing the opportunity before we even reacted.
He's Tao Xiyu's stand-in!
Without her evidence, Xingdian would not have been able to take such a risk and rush into battle at full speed with all his troops.
As soon as I stood up, Li Yingjie, the chief elder of the Xing Palace, led a group of elders to surround both sides of the tower. Li Yingjie strode forward and said in a deep voice: "Wang Huan, I heard that you want to give up the city. I really want to know what your reasons are."
"I suspect that someone deliberately designed the execution palace." Just halfway through my words, Li Yingjie laughed loudly and said: "Who can design our execution palace, and who has the guts to design the execution palace? You don't need to be alarmist. Those so-called punishments of yours The speculations are just your imagination. If you hand over the secrets of the machine city, I will be given a lighter punishment."
My guess was indeed correct.
Li Yingjie never believed that someone would plot against Xingdian.
This thing sounds really incredible. Calculating how much manpower and material resources it takes to plan a behemoth, and how many people need to operate secretly, is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a day or two, especially since the spies of the Xingdian Palace were not aware of it in advance, so Li Yingjie naturally refused to believe it.
When I was thinking about how to persuade the other party, a baby's cry suddenly came from deep in the city.
A baby's heart-wrenching wail should be shrill and harsh, but the cry we hear is deafening. Those cries were like the roars of ancient ferocious beasts, stirring up sudden changes in the wind and clouds within a hundred miles and causing the mountains to surrender.
When everyone turned to look towards the center of the city, a column of smoke rising from the city to the sky, connecting heaven and earth. Hundreds of miles of wind and cloud seemed to be pulled by the smoke column, circling and flying around the top of the column. After just a moment, a bloody vortex of red and black was formed in the air.
Li Yingjie was the first to react, grabbing my collar and roaring: "Wang Huan, what on earth are you doing?"
"That's not me!" I pushed away Li Yingjie's hand and said, "That's when Jiu Ying was born. Didn't you get Zhuge's letter when you came in? There was no record of Jiu Ying in it?"
Li Yingjie's face instantly turned pale: "What do you mean by leaving a letter?"
I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled out my copy of the secret document from my body and handed it to Li Yingjie. After the latter read it at a glance, he tore the letter into pieces and said, "Okay, okay... I have been doing this for half my life, but I didn't expect to stumble into such a big mistake."
Li Yingjie said in a deep voice: "Wang Huan, I believe you. If all the disciples of the Hall of Punishment die here, take these two letters to the Mingxin Sect of the Five Sects of Tanshen and tell them: The evil demon appears in the world, Tanshen God is here. We at the Palace of Punishment have taken the first step."
Before I could figure out what Li Yingjie wanted to do, he added: "Remember, don't look for anyone except Mingxinzong. You must pass the news to Mingxinzong. This is the detective's request to you. .”
After speaking, Li Yingjie bowed deeply to me, stood up and said, "Please pass on the order, no one is allowed to embarrass Wang Huan."
"Calling all disciples together, raise the banner of the God-Detecting Hand!"
After Li Yingjie's second order was issued, signal bombs were shot into the air one after another. Groups of Xingdian disciples rushed towards the top of the city. They stood on the top of the city with weapons in hand, looking into the distance fearlessly. It's like a long embankment crossing the city.
A large blood-red flag embroidered with gold characters "Exploring the Gods" was raised high and fluttering on the flagpole erected by four elders in white. The group of elders in white stood under the flag with solemn expressions.
Li Yingjie strode towards the top of the city and shouted with all his strength: "The evil demon is born, and the Detective God takes the lead. Even if all members of the Xing Palace die in battle today, Jiu Ying will not be allowed to step out of the restricted area. Disciples of the Xing Palace, follow me and fight to the death."
"The devil is born, let's explore the gods first!"
Thousands of disciples of the Xing Palace shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the majestic military might spread hundreds of miles away. They collided with the cry of Jiu Ying in the air, without giving in at all.
Si Ruo held my hand tightly and said, "They are the magic hands, the real magic hands."
I understood in an instant that although the Xingdian were domineering and striving for power, they still had a probing skill at their core. The method of exploring the gods is that they would rather die together than let the evil gods in the restricted area cause harm to the world.
The fake Qin Siyue should also be a god-detecting hand, and one of the five divine meridians. I thought of the Demon Sect and the Ghostless Sect, but I never thought that the person who planned the execution palace would be the Detective Hand himself.
After this battle, the Palace of Punishment will be uprooted, and the person who will benefit the most is probably Tanshen Wumai. Li Yingjie still believed in the Detective Hand until the last moment, but he only believed in the Mingxin Sect.
I gently broke free from Si Ruo's hand and handed the two secret letters into her hands: "Quickly go, go to Mingxin Sect and tell them everything that happened here. I want to stay and help Xingdian resist the evil spirits."
Si Ruo exclaimed: "You stay...but..."
"Don't worry, I will never break my promise on the graduation trip." I turned to smile at her and strode towards Li Yingjie.
The latter heard the footsteps behind him and turned around suddenly: "Why haven't you left yet?"
I smiled lightly and said, "It's enough for Si Ruo to handle the matter of delivering the letter. I'm also a detective, so I can't run away from the battlefield."
