Well, I don't want to be like this. As a fighter, drowning is not very good for me. I would rather be stabbed a thousand times than go through it, although only with this kind of armor can I bite it down, that is, beheading. Well, at least I can go out with the bloody spray.
The crowd was in a state of complete panic and chaos, and many of them screamed in horror during the unexpected lawsuit. I don't know why they panic so much, you think they have never seen anyone killed! I mean, they are all here, hoping to see someone executed, right? They got what they wanted, but this was not the person they were expecting.
I walked slowly to the place where I put the weapons, and found them back without saying a word. Then I approached Marianne, and she just looked at the dead man with an indifferent expression.
"Should you not try to help him?" I asked the screaming crowd.
"Can't help a dead person" she muttered to herself, turning her head to the side.
"But you are a doctor, right? Shouldn't you do your best to save lives?"
"First, I am a witch doctor. I specialize in supernatural diseases, curses and the like. Second, even if you can save him, there is no point in helping him. I doubt he can afford the treatment."
"Well, as long as you can heal my colleague." I muttered to myself, unwilling to think deeply about her moral code.
"Enough!" The chief official burst into tears, drowning the angry roar from the crowd. "Guard! Stand up and do something!"
Although they were reluctant, the Jǐng guards once again gathered on the platform to prevent us from leaving.
"My promise is my promise." Marianne told me. "I will heal your friend and make you a new eye, as long as you can get me out of this place"
"I can help you deal with these poor guards, but I can't give you a way through them." I replied, looking at the angry crowd around me.
"Well then, return my pipes to me, and I will do something about them."
"Your pipe?"
"Yes, the mayor is helping me investigate this case." She pointed to the chief official who looked angry.
"Okay, that's it." Then I slowly approached the row of guards who were retreating carefully.
"You cowards!" the mayor yelled. "He is just a person! If you attack all at once, you should be able to catch him!"
"Well, children, today seems to be a bargaining person." I smiled and said, which made many people's faces pale. "You all know who I am. For those who don't like it, I am Wanderer Yu, his disciple! Today, I give you a choice I have never given you. You can leave my sight now and live again One day, or you can face me and see them before you take a breath. But hurry up and make your choice, I haven't eaten for several days."
Their behavior is basically out of instinct. A man immediately dropped his spear and jumped into the crowd, which prompted the other two to disappear, and the rest followed like a lemming. The mayor stood stunned, unable to express his anger at the timid guards, but when I started to approach, he immediately shrank.
"You won't kill me?" the mayor asked nervously. "If you do this, the whole land will follow you!"
""Oh? As a dead person, you sound very smug. If I kill you, no one will care! They will only say that this is his masterpiece! In addition, I have killed many people before, and because of my skills, I am still welcome everywhere. "When I took another step forward, the mayor's face was pale." Now, I believe you have something that belongs to a good doctor. "
The mayor's hand unconsciously walked towards the chest pocket. Wow, I bet this guy must be very cool playing card games.
"Give it to me, idiot." Marianne asked as she walked over to me.
"You... Ever since you came to our village, you have been a painful person! I shouldn't..."
"Give me back my pipe, okay?"
"Do as the lady said." I said seriously, and he quickly agreed. ""very good. Get out now. "
The mayor quickly ran to hide in the cave where he came. Only Marian and myself are on the platform now, and the only ones still alive anyway. Yes, now only we are left, struggling with the boos and anger of thousands of people around us.
"Hey, do you want to light it?" Marianne asked, putting the pipe in her mouth.
""NO, I have not. But can I ask what is going on with your accent? You didn't talk like that before, but now it is becoming more and more prominent. "
"Oh, that's how I usually talk." She said as she patted her body, looking for something to light her pipe. "I'm from the South, you might have guessed it. But when I was at work, I used a different approach. It's more professional, you know?"
"I understand." I think it makes sense. When I meet a new client, even I must maintain a certain level of professionalism, otherwise I will probably kill them on the spot.
"Ye-ah!" she yelled suddenly, took out a thin box of matches, and quickly lit her pipe. She inhaled from the pipe, sighed in relief. "Let's go. Oh, by the way, how long can you hold your breath?"
"Why?" I asked, but my question was too late.
Marianne exhaled a disproportionate amount of purple smoke. I immediately stopped breathing and watched the purple smoke spread in all directions, completely enclosing the two of us and seeping out from the crowd.
According to the group mentality, everything starts with one person. The single person started to go crazy, and then spread to the public like a plague. I can understand their initial reaction. The smoke of purple sè does look like a deadly gas, but the number of seconds marked by their reaction has become a little different and a little nervous. In fact, their reaction is quite extreme because they are afraid of poisonous clouds.
"This is a hallucinogen." Marianne said, adding more purple smoke to the cloud. "Now they see something they can't understand. Enough, let's go!"
Marian ran across the stage and jumped into the crowd. I followed her. This is not easy. My lungs were already burning, and before Marian released the smoke, my lungs were completely burning. I don't know how long I can hold my breath like this, especially when I try to squeeze through this crazy crowd.
"Go on, we are almost out of the disaster area." I heard her screaming at countless maddening screams.
I really hope this is true, because I have reached the limit. Fortunately, I was out of breath quickly, breathing the much-needed fresh air. However, the people behind us are not so lucky, they are still just a group of screaming voices.
"How long do they have to do this?" I asked, not out of real concern, just ordinary old curiosity.
"Huh? They will be fine in a few days. More importantly, I need to stop at the office before we move on."
"Huh? Didn't the person just say that you bombed your office?"
"Hehe, yes, I did that, but it was just a cover. I can’t let them touch my valuables
"So you hid them somewhere and I took them?"
"Yes, I only need a minute to get what I want, and then we can go on the road. At the same time, why don't you tell me what's wrong with your friend?" We walked casually down the street, Mary Ann asked.
"So, where do I start!" I can't believe that someone would really listen to me telling tragic stories! "She is bossy, vicious, and temperament is the smallest I have ever seen. When she left, it was actually terrifying, and her mind was full of delusions about how strong and old she was! Oh! There is one more. The fact is that she will not stop experimenting on me!" I sighed. "Wow, it feels good to say that."
"I'm very happy to hear this news, because part of my job is to listen to patients' questions. But in fact, what I want to ask is why your friend needs my help."
"Oh, yes. Obviously, she absorbed the souls of others to increase her strength. She tried to do this to the beasts, but after a while, she began to vomit piles of black sè** like silt. It's disgusting."
"Well, I have a photo, what happened on it. How is she now?"
"She lost consciousness. Since she vomited everywhere, and herself."
"Yes, it sounds like a classic case of soul poisoning. Which normal-minded person would try to absorb the soul of an ancient beast?"
"Yes, that's what I meant. I don't know what she is thinking." I sighed. "Anyway, can you cure her?" There was a bang. "Hey, are you listening?"
I turned around and found Marian collapsed on the ground, with an arrow stick sticking out of her back, Zhōng Yāng.
"I did it!" shouted a familiar and strong voice. "Now she won't be a trouble for anyone else!"
"What did you do?!" I roared, rushing at full speed at the man who was still pulling the crossbow. "I didn't kill you before because I thought you weren't ready to die! But those who are ready to kill must be ready to be killed!"
"No! Wait!"
After a few seconds, I reached this poor man. My blade is like an extension of my body, passing through him diagonally from his shoulder to his waist. He collapsed in a red spray and lay there, he was still lying on two blocks, never moving again.
"Son like a father, huh?" I muttered, turning my back to the mayor's body and approaching Marianne's trembling body.
"Ah, we almost succeeded." She muttered, turning her head from side to side, trying to find me. (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
