The sudden heart pain made Ai Li feel very strange. Her physical fitness and her ability to control her body were very strong.
Not to mention heart pain, even if there is a problem with a muscle fiber, she can predict and feel it in advance.
This sudden pain was obviously abnormal. Was it caused by external interference? The warlock's action
"Well!"
Looking at the flame lines flying along the way, Ai Li, who was affected by the heart, did not dodge as promised. Gu Beichen seemed to feel something was wrong. Was this attack going to hit him
boom!
Seeing Ai Li being blown away, Gu Beichen chased after him and entered the alley of the red light district.
The two sides seemed to have engaged in a fierce battle in the alley, with explosions and vibrations continuing to be heard. The specific situation was unclear, but the noise was definitely quite loud.
These explosions were reflected in the eyes of Zhang Pei and the other two, causing them to look at them sideways.
"You felt it, right? Zhou Di made a move just now."
Chang Yu didn't say anything. She also felt a little bit unbelievable. According to her understanding of Zhou Di, he would never act so rashly under normal circumstances.
Zhou Di is a very vigilant person, this is not right.
"Chang Yu, Zhou Di has already taken action and is asking you a question."
Although he said so, Chang Yu still hesitated.
She looked from afar at the place where Zhou Di and Nuoyi got off the car, but found that their figures had disappeared.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Chang Yu looked at Gu Qi.
"What are the results of your divination?"
As if he had already guessed that Chang Yu would ask this question, Gu Qi took out an ancient music card and handed it to Chang Yu.
Chang Yu turned it over and saw the red card - Angel.
"Angel, mean the right thing?"
Chang Yu often hangs out with Zhou Di, so he naturally knows the meaning of most divination cards.
"Yes, so what are you still hesitating about? Go over and help Gu Beichen now, finish the task early and go back to collect the money.
When the time comes, go directly back to the Red Moon Temple. The laws of Zion will not be able to control us. Only if you have money can you get married and be together for real.
Chang Yu, you don't want to keep dragging this on with Zhou Di, right?"
"knew."
Perhaps it was because of Zhou Di's intervention, perhaps it was because of Gu Qi's final divination, or perhaps it was because of his thoughts about his own emotional destination, Chang Yu finally chose to compromise.
Led by Zhang Pei, three sorcerers quickly approached Xu Le and his group.
However, they did not stop when they passed Xu Le and the alley where the explosion was happening. Instead, they headed straight towards where Xia Libo and Wang Shu had escaped.
Gu Beichen and Ai Li are fighting, while Wang Shu and Xia Libo are running away.
This is equivalent to a great opportunity.
3 vs. 2, they still have 3 warlocks, and it is obvious that the advantage is on their side.
Until the three of them followed the breath of Wang Shu and Xia Libo and arrived at the door of a nightclub.
Nightclub girls in twos and threes, and all kinds of prostitutes were all strolling in this area. The atmosphere of chaos was very strong, but Gu Qi, a Red Moon Warlock, felt something was wrong.
Something is not right with the heart.
Normally, this is a nightclub area, so the lustful energy should be expanding to the point of exploding.
But the people around him were all very calm, or even cool-headed. This was definitely not a normal situation.
A cool breeze blew by, and Gu Qi, who had always been enthusiastic about this mission, seemed to be suddenly poured with cold water, and murmured:
"These people are likely to have problems."
However, Xia Libo and Wang Shu were right in front of them, especially Xia Libo, who sprained his ankle due to his prosthetic limb and fell to the ground. This was a perfect opportunity to take action, but should they really do it
They haven't made any attacking moves now. If this is a trap or a snare, there's still time to stop.
"Wait." Gu Qi finally spoke up to stop him.
Zhang Pei was a little confused. He had been worried that Chang Yu would stop them. After all, Chang Yu had never been in favor of this action.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the one who hesitated was Gu Qi, who had always been on the same page with him.
"The person is right in front of you, what are you doing?"
"There's something wrong with these people. I don't think we can do anything. This could be a trap."
"Are you crazy? Don't you want the money?"
Zhang Pei was somewhat dissatisfied that Gu Qi was actually going to back out at this time.
Isn't it better to just kill them and leave? I'm really impressed.
Hearing the word "divination", Gu Qi obviously hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head:
"Money is not as important as life. The people around me have no mental fluctuations. Their steps are vigorous, their breathing is steady, and there is no smell of contraband. This shows that these people are not clients or prostitutes. Absolutely not.
I was not calm enough just now. I was bewitched. It was not just money, there must be other things bewitching me. I don’t know what happened just now.
But I am sure this is wrong, and we still have time to stop it."
I don’t know if it was because he broke free from the confusion of greed and desire, but at this moment Gu Qi finally regained the calmness that a true level 3 warlock should have.
Chang Yu was very surprised by his serious look. She was a conservative by nature, so giving up at this time would naturally mean no loss to her.
I just don’t know what’s going on with Zhou Di.
After hearing Gu Qi's explanation, Zhang Pei looked around. He was not a Red Moon Warlock, and his sensitivity to mental energy was not as sensitive as Gu Qi's.
He just frowned and said:
"We are all here now. Isn't this all the result of your own divination? If you had said no at the beginning, I wouldn't have agreed to come here, and Zhou Di also took action just now."
Zhang Pei's words were not wrong. Zhou Di had already taken action just now... If there were still any problems with the confirmation of the two Red Moon Warlocks, it would be a bit unreasonable.
However, Gu Qi, who had calmed down, still shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"What if the divination result is wrong?"
"you… "
To deny the result of divination is to deny oneself, and the self-denial of the Red Moon Warlock will cut off the path to promotion.
The fact that Gu Qi could say such words meant that he had already made his decision, and it was a very decisive one.
At this time, Chang Yu seemed a little dazed. She thought of Zhou Di's ambiguous words before.
"Gu Qi, are you serious?"
She had asked Zhou Di before what would happen if the fortune-telling fate was interfered with and why it would be interfered with, but Zhou Di never gave a clear answer.
Generally speaking, Zhou Di and she would never hide anything, but the situation just now always made Chang Yu feel a little uneasy.
Gu Qi sighed. He found that while they were talking, the prostitutes and clients who came and went had not changed.
They are always the same people.
If you don't observe carefully, you can't be sure, but if you pay attention, you will find the doubts.
This further confirmed his previous judgment.
"Yes, I am serious. I was wrong. The result of the divination was also wrong. If it is a mistake, I must admit it. Even if it means that I will not be able to continue to advance in the future, I cannot continue on the wrong path."
After hearing Gu Qi's firm declaration of admitting his mistake, Zhang Pei's frown relaxed.
In fact, they have not taken any action now, so even if they evacuate, they will not lose anything, it's just a waste of time.
"Forget it, since you said so, there's no point in killing anyone. Let's go." Zhang Pei spread his hands and agreed to evacuate.
…
At the same time, on the rooftop of a building, Nuoyi looked at Zhou Di beside him with some surprise.
This place is quite far away from the nightclub area and is somewhat out of the combat zone.
Zhou Di has already taken action just now. Why not join the other three and take action at this time? Why bring her here
"Why did you bring me here? Even if you want to have something happen with me, it's not the right time now. Your girlfriend is still at the nightclub. Why don't we go over there? Don't you want money?"
Nuoyi chuckled, but Zhou Di's response was only indifference:
"I never said I wanted to go over there, nor did I say I wanted to fight with you against those mission targets."
"So what are you going to do?"
"This place is a great place to see the whole picture. It's a great observation spot. I originally thought I just needed to watch the show, but now it seems... Gu Qi has already sensed it. It seems he's not that stupid."
Nuoyi felt something was wrong, but she couldn't understand what Zhou Di was saying.
"Zhou Di, what do you want to do?" Nuoyi's goal has always been money. If Zhou Di's idea is to give up the mission, it will contradict her original intention.
"A Red Moon Warlock cannot deny himself, otherwise he will never be able to advance to level 4. If he makes a decision but judges it to be wrong, he must find a new path."
"What's the meaning?"
“The people of Red Moon believe in fate, but fate is independent of Red Moon. When we are deceived by fate, Red Moon Warlocks don’t even have a chance to resist.
It only cares about what it wants to care about, and it only gets what it wants to get.”
As a disaster sorcerer, Nuoyi didn't understand what Zhou Di was saying at all, but she sensed danger.
"You mean, we were deceived by fate?"
Looking at Chang Yu from a distance, Zhou Di's eyes revealed some regret. He pulled out the Red Card - Angel from his pocket and whispered:
"Among the ancient taboos, there is a ritual of sacrifice, which is to hand over your lover to fate and use her life to forge a new path. I actually... really love her!"
As Zhou Di spoke, his fingers began to form seals quickly:
"Spell - Arrive, Soldiers, Array, Array - Destiny Summoning."
A large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from Zhou Di, and the Red Card - Angel instantly burst out with intense energy.
The shining red moon spirit began to gather around Zhou Di. These spiritual energies combined with the ancient Yinduo card to bring down a true angel for him.
However, this angel is only a low-level angel. She still retains the beautiful appearance and curvy figure of a human.
The naked body was covered by long white hair, and was far less domineering than the Dark Moon Angel that Xu Le had seen.
Under Nuoyi's surprised gaze, Zhou Di pointed in the direction of Chang Yu and Zhang Pei.
Under Zhou Di's guidance, the angel stretched out his hands and made a bow and arrow gesture.
A large bow appeared under the angel's arms.
After making this preparation, Zhou Di took out another ancient sound card.
White Card-Four Leaf Clover
"Spell - Lin, Bing, Lie, Zhen - Destiny Spell, Luck, Kill a law enforcer."
Zhou Di's words made Nuoyi even more surprised, but at this time, she had already vaguely understood some of Zhou Di's actions.
Apart from surprise and shock, the only thing she knew about Zhou Di was ruthlessness and decisiveness.
"Zhou Di you..."
Then, the red moon bow in the angel's hand was pulled to the full moon and released.
clang!
A red moon arrow flew into the sky and in a flash arrived where Chang Yu and the other two were.
Whether it was Xu Le and Xia Libo, or Chang Yu, Zhang Pei, and Gu Qi, they all felt the arrival of the Angel's Arrow.
But it was too late to stop it now.
Phew!
A law enforcer who was disguised as a prostitute was instantly pierced by the Red Moon Arrow and was nailed to the ground.
The exploding moon spirit almost swallowed up his body in an instant, and half of his chest was blown to pieces.
This scene stunned Zhang Pei and the other two for a moment, and also prompted the Zion law enforcers who were ready for an ambush to react in advance.
"We've been spotted. Attack."
After a senior law enforcement officer gave the order, the surrounding law enforcement officers disguised as prostitutes and nightclub girls responded quickly and took out the large-caliber firearms hidden in their crotches.
They opened fire at Zhang Pei and the other two.
Da da da da da!
"Spell - Concealment."
The dark curtain directly covered the bodies of the three people. No matter whether it was a shotgun, a rifle, a pistol, or a bullet, there was no way to penetrate the dark curtain wrapped in psychic energy.
Chang Yu was stunned. Gu Qi was right in front of her. The only person who could summon angels and release the Red Moon Arrow was Zhou Di!
"Why are you still in a daze? Go!"
Although Zhang Pei was very radical before, he also showed his responsibility as a leader at this time.
After releasing the Dark Curtain, he almost dragged Chang Yu back.
However, the firepower of the Zion law enforcers was too fierce. They could only rely on the cover of darkness to barely evacuate to their previous location.
Unfortunately, the area had already been cleared by law enforcement officers. Just as they took a few steps back, Wang Shu blocked their way.
He slowly stretched out his fingers, and the Golden Light Tree suddenly extended out.
These branches were not used for attack or entanglement, but were carrying dozens of Zion's iconic standard X-1 grenades and floating towards the three warlocks.
Although the warlocks of the Red Moon Temple were arrogant, they were not so arrogant as to fail to recognize a simple and crude item like the Zion Grenade.
They can’t even handle level 3 monsters, let alone warlocks like them.
"Chang Yu, disperse quickly."
"Zhou Di betrayed us, and we did nothing at all..." Chang Yu said suddenly.
Zhang Pei suddenly smiled and said:
"I know that greed will only lead to disaster. After all, this matter is still my fault... Run away, as many as you can."
Zhang Pei pushed Chang Yu away, and then released a large amount of black curtain, covering all the grenades rolled by Wang Shu.
"A mere warrior..."
Bang!
Before Zhang Pei could finish his words, Xu Le shot him in the leg and he fell to his knees.
Warlocks are too dangerous, let alone a cluster of three level 3 warlocks. From the very beginning, Xu Le had no intention of letting these people go, let alone having a conversation with them.
Although Zhang Pei had one leg broken by Xu Le, he still forced himself to complete the ritual. The grenade wrapped in black curtain became entangled with the branches of Wang Shu and exploded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xu Le stood beside Ai Li, frowned slightly and said:
"It's a bit of a waste to use explosives like this."
However, Ai Li explained:
"Zion will produce a large number of weapons, many of which will not be used. Most of them will be sold to Lighthouse and Tianrui Lifeng. These are obsolete products, so feel free to use them."
After hearing Rewi Alley's explanation, Xu Le nodded. In the end, it was still about having money and productivity:
"Kill all three."
"Okay." Ai Li spoke briefly and rushed towards Chang Yu.
The current battle situation has gradually become clear.
Xia Libo and Wang Shu surrounded Zhang Pei, while Xu Le and Ai Li dealt with Chang Yu.
As for the remaining Gu Qi, he was surrounded and suppressed by the law enforcers sent by Li Wen.
When Chang Yu saw Ai Li rushing over, he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and drank it without much hesitation.
Then her body quickly expanded and twisted, and began to change form.
Spikes, scales, sharp fangs, and often a lizard tail.
Especially the spikes on her fingertips made Xu Le very familiar, Gu Jianuo's demon form!
However, the Chang Yu in front of him was not as exaggerated as Gu Jianuo's. At least her right arm was still flesh, unlike Gu Jianuo, which had completely become a combination of mechanical and biological bodies.
Of course, this may also be because Gu Jianuo's teacher, Xiong Zemo, forged the mechanical arm and spine for her.
"Aili, her current state is called the demon form. She has extremely strong physical strength and attack power. She can even suppress a level 4 Ancient Sound Child instantly. However, this state can only last for about 3-5 minutes. You have to be careful."
"knew."
When Chang Yu transformed, Ai Li also transformed at the same time, with snow-white hair covering his entire body, and collided with Chang Yu, who had turned into a lizard demon.
Ai Li, who was originally very confident in his own strength, was actually sent flying backwards by this collision.
Xu Le realized at a glance that she had misunderstood the power of the demon.
Xu Le had seen the demon form in person.
Bai Kui was so powerful at that time that he was suppressed by the demon even in that state, so Chang Yu in front of him should not be underestimated and must be dealt with carefully.
"Ritual - Forbidden Summoning Array."
Bai Chan suddenly appeared and caught the dog, while Xu Le had already raised his gun and pointed it at Chang Yu.
At this moment, Xu Le looked towards the tall building in the distance, where Zhou Di was, with a sense of something.
The distance between the two sides was too far, but he could feel the fluctuations caused by the angel. When Xu Le looked at Zhou Di and the other person, Zhou Di was also looking at Xu Le.
Even though they were far apart, their eyes still made some contact.
Zhou Di bowed slightly to Xu Le and made a gesture of invitation, as if Chang Yu and the other three were his gifts to Xu Le.
Then he turned and walked towards the stairs.
Xu Le turned his head and looked at Chang Yu at this time, hesitantly said:
"betray?"
…
On the tall building, Zhou Di stopped halfway and looked at Nuoyi behind him and said:
"What are you still looking at?"
Nuoyi looked at his companions who were fighting with the law enforcers and Xu Le below. His eyes flickered and he clenched his fists.
Suddenly turning around, Nuoyi punched Zhou Di in the face.
However, she was considered to be relatively good at close combat among warlocks, but was caught by Zhou Di with a broken hand and then pressed to the ground.
Nuoyi wanted to struggle, but Zhou Di showed much more strength than her, and when he grabbed her neck, Nuoyi couldn't move at all.
She could only lie on the ground and said unwillingly:
"You've felt it a long time ago, you've known it was wrong... No, you've already been planning to kill them since the beginning when you asked me to follow you and Chang Yu to follow Zhang Pei and Gu Qi, right?"
"Yes, I knew it a long time ago, and I made the judgment and plan a long time ago." Zhou Di nodded calmly.
"Why?"
“I’ve said before that the self-denial of the Red Moon Warlock will cut off his path to advancement. But fortunately, I’ve read a lot of forbidden books and happened to know a ritual of sacrificial death.
The new path will bring me new strength and allow me to reach a higher level. In order to embark on the new path, I can only sacrifice Chang Yu..."
"If Chang Yu is to be sacrificed, then Chang Yu should be sacrificed. Why do we have to sacrifice Zhang Pei and Gu Qi?"
"If it was just to sacrifice Chang Yu, it would be hard for me to find such an opportunity, so I could only let her follow Zhang Pei and Gu Qi, and told her to watch them and tell them not to act rashly.
Chang Yu trusts me very much, so she will do this well, so as to meet my conditions. "
Zhou Di's tone was very calm, but Nuoyi couldn't accept it.
Nuoyi never thought of herself as a good person. She even thought of herself as bad, greedy, mean, arrogant, and self-indulgent.
But these were her own problems. At least she had never targeted her companions or those whom she recognized.
What is Zhou Di? He is not simply bad...
"Why is this happening?" Nuoyi was a little confused.
Zhou Di remained calm. This time he did not answer immediately, but analyzed seriously:
“Because we believe too much in Gu Yinduo’s destiny and divination, but Gu Yinduo’s destiny itself belongs to Gu Yinduo’s power, it does not belong to Hongyue, and it is dangerous.
This time, it was probably our punishment for relying on fate. We survived the temptation of fate. Don’t you feel lucky? "
"Lucky? If you had reminded us before, we wouldn't have participated in this mission."
“You have been blinded by greed. If you had done a thorough investigation and curbed your greed, you wouldn’t be in this situation now.
And what do you think a warlock is? A warlock is the hope that breaks through the darkness. The road is full of setbacks and sufferings. In order to reach the highest position, we must clear all obstacles in front of us. "
"What about Chang Yu? Is she also an obstacle in your path?"
Zhou Di looked down at Nuoyi on the ground. After pondering for a while, he smiled slightly and said:
"She is the love who forged a new path for me. I will remember her for the rest of my life."
"You've been pretending the whole time. You're just a lunatic."
"Thank you for the compliment, Warlock Noi."
Seeing Nuoyi gradually calm down, Zhou Di put his hand into Nuoyi's clothes. Nuoyi did not resist, but just cursed:
"You scumbag..."
"Don't say that. This is the reward you promised me."
"People died and we didn't get paid. This mission of ours is a joke."
"That's not the case. This mission did yield some results, and they were huge." Zhou Di laughed again.
Nuoyi didn't quite understand why Zhou Di said that, she hesitated and said:
“What huge gain?”
"This mission itself might be a trap. Maybe the airship merchant Wang Xi is still happy about our stupidity.
But this trap also made me see some things clearly, such as what destiny is and what destiny likes...
For example, I have seen the path to promotion clearly and have touched it.
We will go meet Wang Xi later. I feel he will give us some new surprises."
