In winter, the sky darkens very early. In this era when there is no electricity and even oil lamps need to be saved, unless there is a gathering, when the sky is dark, the pedestrians on the road will soon be rare.
Ding Baifan was carrying a medicine box on her back, her boots creaked on Canxue's road, she walked a little hastily, if it wasn't for the fact that her customer's injury was too difficult and delayed a lot of time, she would not have to be in such a dark place. At an unknown moment, I was walking on a road with fewer pedestrians.
Ding Baifan is a Saint of the Fifth-Order Healing System. Among the healers who are generally low in the ranks, her talent is unique. She has broken through the Fourth-Order that few people of the Support System can cross, and has become a rare Fifth-Order Healer. By.
It is precisely because of this that she has enough wealth to hire a fifth-order Gao Yan and others to protect her all day long.
"Bai Fan, don't go so fast." Gao Yan and Jiang Xiaojuan caught up to her pace. Tonight it was her turn to be on duty to accompany Ding Baifan anywhere.
"No, I want to go back sooner." Ding Baifan clasped his arms and walked forward with his head buried in the cold wind, his tone was a little nervous, "I don't feel very good, it appeared again, red eyes. Everywhere. Yes, everywhere."
She didn't dare to look around. In the dim alley by the roadside, the reflection of sewage, and the shadow of the building, a pair of red eyes seemed to appear at any moment, staring at her.
Gao Yan and Jiang Xiaojuan exchanged glances,
Jiang Xiaojuan stepped forward and took Ding Baifan's arm, "Sister Fan, you are too nervous. This is the street, and there are so many people..."
It's strange to say, just when Jiang Xiaojuan said this, the street where there were still three or two pedestrians had become empty. A whirl, making a whimpering sound.
The last ray of light from the setting sun was withdrawn with a bang. The silent streets became dark and dark.
Jiang Xiaojuan rubbed her arms and groaned. She began to feel that there really seemed to be something hidden in the shadows as Ding Baifan said. She was naturally timid and leaned towards Gao Yan's side subconsciously.
The three girls just walked on the empty street,
This seems really strange. I don't know if it is an illusion. Gao Yan began to feel a faint sense of oppression in the quiet air. The intuition belonging to a soldier told her that there were crises that she did not know about.
At this time, any slight noise would make Gao Yan's heart tighten for a while, who had to pretend to be calm.
Behind them came the sound of unusually regular footsteps, the three of them turned back together, a dim yellow light was lit at the end of the street, and the shaky light slowly approached in suffocating tension.
When I got closer, I realized that it was a couple walking together snuggling together.
The warm yellow lantern in the girl's hand illuminated a face that Gao Yan was very familiar with.
"Sister Yan, why are you here?" Chu Qianxun held up the lamp, and the warm light shone on her surprised face.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
The appearance of Chu Qianxun and Lin Fei broke the inexplicable feeling of depression just now. The street seemed to return to its original state, with occasional two hurried pedestrians and a little murmur. Gao Yan was even amused by her suspiciousness just now.
"The tasks received in the regiment are assigned to us." Gao Yan introduced Ding Baifan to Chu Qianxun, "It is enough to protect the safety of this beauty 24 hours a day in the base."
Ding Baifan's face was pale, and he was still a little nervous. But you don't have to face monsters, just need to accompany such a beautiful woman, it is indeed a good and profitable commission.
Chu Qianxun walked with them along the way for a while, and Ye Peitian who fell behind the team suddenly stopped and turned his face.
The alley on the side of the street that he had seen was dark and empty.
"It's here, you go back first, and we'll be there after walking a few hundred meters forward."
At the corner of the street, Gao Yan and the others waved goodbye to Chu Qianxun Ye Peitian.
After sending Ding Baifan to a safe place, another group of comrades will come to take over the shift, so that their task for today is complete. At this moment, not only Jiang Xiaojuan and Gao Yan, but also Ding Baifan, who saw the house close at hand, showed a slightly relaxed expression.
"Sister Yan, just before Qianxun didn't come, I was almost frightened for a while, but I found out that I was frightening myself." Jiang Xiaojuan touched her chest and whispered close to Gao Yan.
Her rank is not high, and she has no combat experience, so she can do very few tasks. If you can't even do the small things of protecting the parties in the base like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to earn Demon Seeds.
There seemed to be a shadow of a giant bird passing by in the sky, and a man in front of the street walked towards them. The man was very young, but he had a very special short white-blond hair. When he passed by, the raised The platinum blonde hair seemed to shed a little bit of sheen that should belong to the stars along the way.
The girls couldn't help but look back at him, and the man just happened to look back at them and smiled at them.
In this era, most women know very well that a woman's beautiful face and perfect body can often become a weapon for them to deal with men. But today Jiang Xiaojuan and Gao Yan suddenly discovered that men can sometimes do the same thing.
This man was so beautiful that he even felt a little glowing.
So when he shot with a smile, Gao Yan and Jiang Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment. This moment was the only chance for them to escape.
A girl with a human head and a bird body appeared behind the man, looking at the three women who fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
"Ah Xiao, can you still hold it?" She supported the man's shoulder with her black wings, "Two fifth-order and one third-order. Among them are the healing saints that we have monitored for many days. I expected too much, we've been out for too long, take them back right away?"
Ah Xiao's tender and plump handsome face began to change back and forth, showing old age and wrinkles. He took a breath and nodded.
"Sure enough, it's you. Xiao,"
A cold voice sounded, and a man wearing a silver mask slowly walked out of the shadow on the street corner.
"Ye Peitian?" A Xiao narrowed his eyes, "You are indeed here, no wonder God loves those flies around here and there."
"It turns out that you caused so many saints to disappear? Axiao, what are you trying to do?"
"What do I want to do?" Akai smiled. "I just want to let more people experience our pain. Let me have more companions."
Half of his face began to grow old and ugly, and his hair faded into a dull white, while the other half was still young. Such a face is particularly ferocious and terrifying when it smiles, almost no longer like a human being,
"Even though without your support, eight or nine of the ten saints led by me would fail, but there are still one or two who can become partners with the body of a monster and maintain the heart of a human being." He spread his hands. , "It's not my fault, it's also your fault... You betrayed us."
Ye Peitian grabbed his collar, "You are crazy! Axiao, you are completely crazy. Why do you want to make yourself the kind of person you once hated?"
"I'm not crazy!" A Xiao opened his hand, his eyes were full of madness, and his fingers pressed his chest hard, "The whole world is crazy, only I am still awake. I need partners, more and us The same people. We will kill all those lunatics, extinct! Disappear from this world!"
"You can't succeed. You forced those saints to be half-demonized. They only hate you, how can they be your companions?" For Ye Peitian, this was his only friend in hell. I hope this friend can figure out what he's doing by himself.
"Hehe, Ye Peitian, you are still as innocent and stupid as you were back then. You don't understand human nature at all. They have become half-demons, and it is impossible for them to return to human society. In the end, they can only gather around me and let me create something for them. A continent on which to stand."
"If you have to do this, then you will face me first." Ye Peitian didn't say the rest, he slowly drew out his sword.
"You want to kill me? Kill your comrades who are suffering as much as you, just for these people?" A Xiao pointed at the three women lying on the ground, his tone of anger turned tender again,
"Actually you don't understand. We are the best form of human beings. Strong bodies and clear minds." A Xiao's entire face has been completely stepped down, and his body has begun to show obvious aging. "And these self-righteous saints, It's the garbage that should be eliminated."
He smiled and stepped back, "One day I will kill each of them, by the way, including the woman named Chu Qianxun."
The gleaming blue light of the knife flourished in his voice, and Ye Peitian's anger carried the overwhelming momentum, slashing in front of the already old face.
Behind A Xiao, the big black bird spread its black wings and crossed over his body. The girl's head was buried in the wings, and the black figure swayed in the air and disappeared.
"Hee hee, God loves those trash looking for you, deal with our enemies well. There will always be a day when you and I will meet again."
A Xiao's last words, accompanied by the black ripples, were divided into two by Ye Peitian's blade, and dissipated in the night where the snowflakes were swaying.
