"Don't fucking talk about what's there and what's not!"
The Rat King's eyes were angry, he clenched his crossbow, and suddenly pointed it at him: "Did those sissies from the Lusuo family hire you? Or are those Tianzhu people trying to take revenge? Is it the professor, that son of a bitch, or the shaman? That old antique?!"
"Sorry, neither."
Ye Qingxuan shrugged slightly, walked casually, put his cane on his shoulder, like a high-spirited young man going shopping.
He didn't care at all about the crossbow arrows that could blow him to pieces at any time. He just looked around at the scene around him and exclaimed:
"I am only here for myself, Your Excellency, and I am only here to get answers to some questions."
"Fuck the answer!"
The Rat King suddenly nailed the crossbow to the girl's face: "Kneel down, or I will make a hole in her head right now!"
He didn't expect to make the monster succumb just because of the little girl, but the little girl at least had some kind of relationship with him. With her in his hands, the guy didn't dare to act rashly.
He just wanted to make the monster shaken, even if it was slightly panicked, it would give people an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Behind his back, the hidden hand moved slightly, making gestures and issuing orders.
In the shadow behind the young man, there was a shadow approaching quietly. From his waist, a dark green dagger was silently drawn out.
Those were the best thieves and assassins under his command, assassins he recruited at a huge cost.
The assassin from the distant ancient kingdom of Persia has been taking secret medicine since he was a child, making his bones tough and light, and his body soft like cotton. However, his strength has become inhumanly strong through cruel training, and he can easily hang a man in the dark. Sabre-toothed tiger.
With such subordinates working for him, the Rat King can naturally rest easy. He has never been afraid of powerful enemies, only his colleagues who like to hide and cause mischief in secret.
It doesn't matter if he is a black musician, as long as he attracts his attention and shakes his mind, he can still gouge out his heart with one knife.
But beyond his expectation, the shadow gentleman in front of him sneered, without even looking at the little girl in his hand.
In the shadow of the top hat, those cold eyes just glanced across Sam's face, as if looking at an overestimating insect with a touch of pity.
"I told you, you'd better not do that."
In his hand, the cane paused, and the sound of the strings being waved was faintly revealed in the void. A loud, manic, high-pitched sound erupted as the cane hit the ground.
The sharp sound hurt everyone's eardrums and made their eyes blur.
But behind Ye Qingxuan, the man who had just pulled out the dagger and silently approached began to tremble. It was like the internal organs were beating and tearing angrily in an instant, the muscles wanted to break away from the shackles of the skeleton, and the blood vessels were twisting wildly.
The phantom-like pain suddenly came to him, causing him to scream, his whole body twitching, and he fell to the ground.
The severe pain made his body curl up, and he didn't even know that he had been scratched by the dagger. During the twitching, the joints rubbed together and made a crisp sound, and he subconsciously started to move his collarbone.
The man wanted to sneak attack him, but he didn't know that when the Nine Heavens Ring Pendant was activated and his whole body was on guard, all the ether within the sensing range would become his eyes.
This 360-degree perspective confused him for a while, and he was still not used to it.
According to legend, it is true that with a fine musical instrument in hand, the musician's power doubles out of thin air.
Sensing someone approaching quietly, Ye Qingxuan instantly activated his tired mind and played "Black Friday·The Third Section", controlling his body senses and bringing him phantom pain like burning fire!
Until finally, a man shrank to the size of a dwarf and struggled to twist. Veins squirmed on his face like a living thing. He stared at the Rat King in despair, opening his mouth to speak, but no sound came out. He could only make a sharp gurgling sound.
Everyone felt a chill on their backs, and they finally understood why Kruger became like that.
"Shoot him, shoot him!"
Sam screamed.
Next to him, his subordinate wanted to pull the trigger, but found that his finger could not pull it down no matter what.
In an instant, Sam's scream stopped suddenly, and his voice got stuck in his throat.
My body is no longer under my control.
The dark melody surged like a river, penetrated into their limbs and bones, flowed in their minds, and took away their sanity.
Then came the pain that was like the torment of hell.
In the shadow under the top hat, painful veins appeared on the boy's face, and the playing beyond his limit was about to drain him dry.
The melody that was originally used on a single person has now become a power that interferes with dozens of people in an instant. Although he only uses the melody to stir up negative emotions in their hearts, it is far beyond the scope of his abilities.
Fortunately, he was prepared.
Behind him, Ye Qingxuan quietly pressed the button of the double snake timepiece with his left hand and recited the secret words in a low voice:
"—All things are dim, but the tree of life remains evergreen."
In an instant, the crisp rhythm sounded in his ears, knocking on his groggy will and driving away the original fatigue and pain.
He became more energetic than ever before, and his perception became twice as sharp in an instant, almost giving him the illusion that he was expanding.
Under the 360-degree viewing angle, he felt that his vision was freed from his body, rising to the sky, looking down at these thugs who were immersed in pain.
The difficult performance suddenly changed and became as smooth as flowing water.
Under the multiplied induction and manipulation, Ye Qingxuan's power instantly soared to the limit of the rhythm level.
The ether obediently accepted the guidance and drive of the melody, transformed into non-existent fire and blades, and brought hellish phantom pain to his enemies.
…
This illusion of omnipotence only lasted a few seconds and then could no longer be maintained.
But it was only a few seconds, but in the Mouse King's perception, it seemed like a lifetime. Stimulated by the unprecedented pain, he almost collapsed.
When the melody stopped abruptly, he screamed and staggered back as if waking up from a dream.
The little girl who was being restrained by him was not polite to him. She immediately jumped up, knocked him over with her elbow, snatched his hand crossbow and aimed it at his head.
Then he kicked him hard in the crotch, causing his eyes to bulge and he rolled on the ground in pain.
"Let you grab my hair! Let you pinch my face!"
Bai Xiyou kicked him hard with anger, pointed at his head with a hand crossbow, and retreated to Ye Qingxuan's side.
After getting closer, she saw the veins in the corners of Ye Qingxuan's eyes and the slowly trembling left hand behind his back. Her eyes were panicked and she was about to say something. But when she saw Ye Qingxuan's look, she understood his plan and did not show any panic.
"I admit defeat..."
On the ground, panting Sam raised his head and glared at Ye Qingxuan: "If you want to kill or behead, you can do it yourself. But don't think that I will wait for death obediently. My men will avenge me, even if you kill me. It’s impossible to walk out of this cemetery intact.”
"Haha, really?"
Ye Qingxuan looked down at him and laughed softly, with a touch of sarcasm: "Why rush to seek death, Your Excellency? Didn't I say it before? I'm only here to get answers to some questions. If you are willing to be honest, Answer, I may not let you live. Of course, if you are unwilling to cooperate with me, I will not let you die. - Do you understand what I mean? "
Sam's eyes changed, and he understood what Ye Qingxuan meant: If he was unwilling to cooperate, I'm afraid there would be torture more terrifying than death waiting for him.
He was extremely convinced of this, after all, he had just experienced the torture from hell.
"Do you keep your word?"
He looked at the shadow suspiciously. Although he was full of fear, he still couldn't help but grasp this life-saving straw: "What do you want to know? As long as I know, I will tell you."
"You surrendered so easily when you heard you could survive?"
The black shadow sneered: "You really have the style of the Mouse Society."
There was no shame in the eyes of the Rat King, but he was calm as a matter of course: "Could it be that if I had the backbone, you would let me go?"
"hehe."
Shadow smiled and did not answer. He just asked: "I heard that there was a lot of excitement in Xiacheng District a few days ago. To be honest, I also want to know the details. You might as well tell me. Listen?"
"Are you here also for that white-haired brat?"
The Rat King suddenly realized: "It turns out you are also looking for the 'Blood Road'!"
"It's you who answered me, make no mistake."
Ye Qingxuan's voice turned cold.
Although he did not receive a response, the Rat King came to this conclusion in his heart: Indeed, besides King Arthur's treasure, what else could make a black musician sneak into the royal capital of Angelo despite the pursuit of the Silent Agency? !
"Have you thought about it? My friend."
The dark figure lowered his head and looked at the pocket watch in his hand, seemingly impatient: "Our time is precious, don't waste it."
After saying that, he made a gesture to stir up the melody.
"Wait, wait, I said!"
The Rat King opened his mouth and told everything he knew as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube:
"Within ten days, we heard a rumor that the Shadow of Avalon, which hides King Arthur's treasure, is about to awaken, and the blood road leading to the Shadow of Avalon is about to open. Some people say that the key to the blood road is in the White House. The hair on the imp.”
Ye Qingxuan sneered: "What is the legend? What do you believe?"
"To be honest, we don't believe in the Shadow of Avalon, and the rumor is also very inexplicable. But the first person to let out the news was the professor. The professor seemed to want to monopolize that kid and did not allow anyone to interfere. The Tianzhu portrait is like After getting the exact information about the place, I would rather fall out with the professor than snatch the brat. The Luso family and the mad dogs of Asgard also want to take advantage of it... "
"What about you?"
"We just do the dirty work for the nobles. We don't have any idea about blood roads. Really! Really!"
The Rat King quickly defended: "But the higher-ups seemed to be quite concerned about this news and ordered us to muddy the water as much as possible. Moreover, a noble family issued a reward for that brat. The brat deposed the heir of their family, and they had no choice. To exert influence on the academy, I paid 100,000 pounds to make that kid die in the most painful way..."
For a moment, as if in an hallucination, Sam felt the dark shadow darken.
"Which family?" Black Shadow asked coldly.
The Mouse King's body trembled and he replied loudly: "It's Rossi, the Rossi family!"
Ye Qingxuan fell silent, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
It was Edmund.
