"Time flies so fast. I don't know if this thing can become what I imagined it to be." Xu Le sighed as he sat on the floor.
Ding Ke in his arms tilted his head and leaned on him.
Meow! ~
"I will definitely do that." Ai Li at the side also said: "What you have done has basically been confirmed. It is all for a better tomorrow."
"Don't make me sound so great." Xu Le felt helpless.
“You are already great.”
Xu Le did not refute this time. He turned his gaze to Wang Shu:
"Brother Shu, where is Gu Beichen? Time is running out. At this point in time, it would be risky if we still keep him here."
"Gu Beichen said he would do it himself."
"He did it himself? Is he so confident?" Xu Le was a little skeptical.
"If the problem cannot be solved, Minister Li Wen has already made a backup plan."
"so… "
Duomin's affairs still need to be dealt with after all, and the news released on weekdays are all information that she should know.
But the Kuroshio is different.
Once the black tide period arrives, Zion's cards will inevitably be revealed one by one.
By then, even if you want to hide, you probably won’t be able to hide it well.
Especially the idea of the Sky City, even if it is just a prototype and concept, once the Red Moon Temple knows about it... the consequences are unpredictable.
The Red Moon Temple may not take this matter seriously, or they may plunder the results, or of course, they may destroy it.
But no matter what, for Xu Le and the others, this matter is not something they can gamble on.
The cost of losing the gamble is too high.
So, the Duomin issue has to be dealt with.
"No, that guy Gu Beichen is most likely just bragging. Let's go over and take a look. After all, he is from the Red Moon Temple, so it will be very troublesome to deal with him."
Xu Le vaguely remembered that when he wanted to kill Duo Lei, the other party's escape method was extremely powerful.
Many abilities are difficult to handle even for high-level transcendents.
So, to be on the safe side, it would be better for him to handle it personally at this time.
…
"May the spirit of the red moon be with me..." Duomin knelt on the ground and prayed to the moon that had appeared in the daytime.
Coincidentally, Gu Beichen also arrived at this time.
"Lord Domin is praying."
Gu Beichen put down his clothes and gloves, knelt behind Duomin in the same posture, and began to pray to Hongyue.
"The black tide is coming again. I don't know when this will end."
Gu Beichen's voice sounded somewhat emotional and confused.
Duomin frowned slightly. She could fully understand why Gu Beichen made such a sigh.
Every informant wandering outside has such feelings to a greater or lesser extent.
Because of confusion about the road ahead and despair about the future.
So she comforted him:
“Don’t worry, under the leadership of the Temple, everything will be fine. The Temple is the core of the Dark Ages and also the hope of the Dark Ages.
When we put an end to the darkness, a new era will surely come, and then..."
Phew!
Before Duomin could finish her words, Gu Beichen stabbed her with the knife.
"Well… "
Duomin frowned and slowly turned around.
"Why?"
"What why?"
"You are so outstanding, with a bright future and hope, why would you betray me at this time?"
The knife was still stuck in Duomin's waist, but it didn't seem to have much substantial impact on her condition.
Gu Beichen did not use any magic because it would cause fluctuations in psychic energy, which would definitely be discovered by Duomin, so he used an ordinary weapon like a fruit knife.
It seemed to be successful, but it also seemed to be unsuccessful.
Gu Beichen also stood up at this time.
"The bright future and hope you mentioned are the pies painted by the Red Moon Temple?"
"How could what the Temple did be just empty promises?"
“Don’t give me that shit. I’ve studied in the Red Moon Temple for a long time. Essentially, there’s no difference between the Red Moon Temple and the Lighthouse.
It's the people in the upper levels who are constantly painting rosy pictures for the people below. They've been doing this for more than 300 years, and you don't feel tired at all.
"Did anything change during the past 300 years in the Dark Ages? Was there a new Zion? Was there a legendary city destroyed?"
Duomin felt that Gu Beichen was making up stories, so she pulled out the knife from her waist and retorted:
"The Temple's plans have always been gradual. We are here to quell the darkness."
"No, you are here for the rule. The Red Moon Temple has now become a tool of the Red Moon. You have already noticed this, right?"
Listening to what Gu Beichen said, Duomin suddenly felt creepy.
"Where did you hear these words..."
"From our head, of course."
"Your heads?"
"It's the person who has been acting with you for a month."
"Act with me for a month..." Duomin already had the answer in her mind, but she still couldn't believe it.
"You've been with him for such a long time, didn't you notice that he looked at you strangely?"
"Your eyes are weird?"
Gu Beichen curled his lips:
"Don't think too much about it. When I say his eyes are weird, I mean that when he looks at you, it's like he's deceiving a fool. You don't think it's fun to deceive a fool, do you?"
Duomin clenched her fists. She felt that Gu Beichen was deliberately provoking her. Although she didn't know the reason, it was obvious that the work of provoking her had been successful.
"You are a little naive, Gu Beichen. What can I gain from making me angry?"
"It allows me to use the ultimate move that I have been holding back for a long time."
Gu Beichen dodged and jumped back, transforming his body into an element and avoiding Duomin's hand sickle.
"An elemental body..."
Duomin was about to continue chasing, but Gu Beichen had already prepared his own technique.
"I practiced with a master in the lighthouse. She taught me a lot of things. What's more, they are 100 times more powerful than what you teach in the Red Moon Temple!"
"What?"
As Gu Beichen successfully formed the seal, Duomin felt that the anger accumulated in her body suddenly disappeared.
It didn't disappear, but was pulled away by some external force.
Spiritual energy gathered in Gu Beichen's chest. His chest began to expand and his cheeks also began to swell.
It makes him look bigger, but his appearance cannot be described as fat.
Using spiritual energy as a guide and mental energy as a catalyst, this is a complex secret technique developed by Chi Xiao.
"Forbidden Technique - Dragon's Fury."
A sparse burst of flames spurted out of Gu Beichen's mouth. The flames did not look very powerful, and as they floated in the yard, they could only barely ignite some strips of cloth and paper scraps.
Such low destructive power surprised Duomin who had already prepared for defense.
"Your technique..."
Suddenly, the flame coming out of Gu Beichen's mouth began to become thinner, and from the initial flame cloud, it gradually turned into a line of fire.
It looks similar to Gu Beichen's own Flame Line.
However, Duomin soon felt the difference between the two.
"Ritual - Moon Guardian."
The iconic Red Moon Defense, but just as she was about to withstand it, Duomin felt something was wrong. She shrank her head sharply and avoided the Dragon's Wrath that was sweeping over.
Hongyue Yueshou was instantly split into two halves.
The high temperature flame is like a sharp sword, able to melt and cut into pieces everything in front of it.
"This move has 6,000 degrees."
Gu Beichen formed seals again and jumped into the sky.
"Dragon Breath."
His frozen body prevented him from being burned by the flames he spewed out, and his dragon breath covered the entire warehouse and the yard outside.
Such a big noise is enough to attract other people's attention.
"If this continues, the law enforcers will be attracted."
Duomin blocked the dragon's breath and prepared to turn around and retreat.
But after taking just two steps, I felt dizzy.
"That fruit knife... is poisoned? No, I have to go."
She needed to take away the information she had saved recently, as the Red Moon Temple needed those things.
Holding back her dizziness, Duomin released several water arrows to repel Gu Beichen.
Then Duomin turned around and ran towards the basement.
As soon as she opened the mechanism, a strong sense of crisis enveloped her heart.
But such a narrow environment and the location of this basement have left Duomin with no way to escape.
Three dice-shaped objects appeared under the mechanism.
Duomin has this thing in her memory, it seems to be some new type of weapon of Zion.
But I can’t remember it for a while.
The dice made a "sizzling" sound.
Then…
boom!
The shock wave and energy explosion completely destroyed the basement. Duomin herself was blown away by the explosion, fell heavily to the ground, and turned into a pool of water.
Then, the pool of water began to gradually solidify and turned back into Duomin's appearance.
She hammered the ground hard and let out a roar of unwillingness.
"Gu Beichen!"
Gu Beichen squatted on the roof of the warehouse, looking at Duomin with a smile, imitating someone's way of speaking:
"What? Are you angry? There's no point in being angry. Can you still find those things? Anyway, the fire is gone, and there's no way to find them back..."
Duomin didn't expect that Gu Beichen, a level 3 fire disaster warlock, would cause her so much trouble.
She looked at Gu Beichen fiercely.
Then... he timidly took out the Book of Teleportation.
"Gu Beichen, whether you or Xu Le, just wait for me."
The book of teleportation began to turn pages, and one of the pages floated up and melted into the air.
The space fluctuated, but nothing happened.
Duomin was stunned for a moment, looked at the pages in her hand, and thought that there was a problem with her teleportation book.
So he injected spiritual energy again and tried to continue escaping.
However, Gu Beichen simply spread his hands at her:
"Don't waste your time. You can't go back."
"The fluctuations in space have been disturbed. This is impossible. This book is my mother's masterpiece and is rarely shown outside. This kind of space interference without any signs can only be caused by someone making preparations in advance.
This condition, wait, Xu Le killed Duo Lei?"
Domin soon realized that there was someone other than herself who had possessed the teleportation book created by Meris.
That's Duolei.
If Duo Lei was really killed by Xu Le, then there is a certain possibility that he can get the teleportation book.
So as to formulate a cracking method in advance.
And Xu Le might have started doing these things the first time he met her.
"Where's Xu Leren? He doesn't think you can handle me alone, does he?"
"You're looking down on others before the fight is even over?"
While delaying, Duomin began to think about how to leave here.
Things like space interference shouldn't have a particularly large scope. She just needs to find the right direction, escape, and then use the teleportation book.
"Generally speaking, the reasonable direction is the direction the enemy is guarding, so it's Gu Beichen's direction."
After having a target, Duomin began to calm down and form seals.
"Spell - Shocking Waves."
A large amount of water began to appear under Duomin's feet. The water formed a bound ocean and then suddenly burst out in one direction.
Like small ocean waves.
Gu Beichen felt somewhat stressed as he watched Duomin walking on the waves.
“This guy’s technique really has a certain restraint on me.
"Ritual - Dragon's Fury."
The dragon's rage was gathered again, but this time without the driving force of anger, the power was a little smaller.
However, the blazing rays could still cut through the water, forcing Duomin to move so that she wouldn't be able to break through the defense so easily.
"The gap between level 3 and level 4 cannot be made up by tactics. Didn't your teacher teach you that?"
The green waves began to squeeze Gu Beichen's space, and the water gradually submerged Gu Beichen.
But Gu Beichen was not very scared because he could turn into ice.
"Squeeze!" Duomin began to control the water flow.
Gu Beichen, who had turned into an ice cube, suddenly felt tremendous pressure. If he continued like this, he would probably be crushed.
"It's over, it's over. I really can't win. I guess what I boasted to Xu Le won't come true. I don't know if he'll understand or come to save me... Ugh!"
Just when Duomin was about to kill Gu Beichen.
Bang!
A bullet instantly passed through Duomin's ribs and exploded in her right lung.
Then, gunshots were heard.
"Well… "
Duomin covered her right lung and squatted on the ground, gasping for breath.
Rich dark power flowed out from between her fingers, and she could feel that the dark power was eroding her.
"What's going on with this attack? It feels so evil..."
After Duomin was shot, she no longer had the energy to control the water flow in front of her. Gu Beichen, who had been squeezed, finally escaped.
After brushing the water off his body, Gu Beichen quickly distanced himself from Duomin.
"That guy is here as expected... Xu Le is the one who can be trusted."
Duomin covered her wound, slowly stood up, and stared at Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen was not afraid of her at this time and continued:
"What are you looking at? Are you good at fighting? What's the point of being able to fight? If you want to get involved, you need power and background. Do you have power?"
"I don't know what you have done, but the Red Moon Temple will not let you go."
"Don't think that you can do evil in other cities just because you are following the Red Moon Temple. Zion is a society ruled by law. Do you know and understand the law
Would you like me to introduce you to a lawyer? His name is Zhang San."
After being stimulated by Gu Beichen's words, Duomin's chest heaved and she focused her attention back on Gu Beichen.
Then.
Bang!
The second shot arrives.
