Cataclysm King - #119 - Chapter 119: dice

  Chapter 119 Dice

  Old man Xu painted runes with blood, which directly caused the Weeping Angel to be included in the Holy Nail of Light and Darkness.

at the same time.

  The hunchbacked old man who was still in the camp suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and his expression changed suddenly: “How is it possible?!”

  He quickly chanted the incantation, but tried several times in succession, only to find that the cross beside him was completely silent, and he could no longer perceive any sign of the existence of the angel.

   Although I don’t know what happened, it is definitely not good news.

  The soul of the weeping angel was finally obtained by cracking the ancient seal. As long as enough souls are sacrificed, even if it’s just a wisp of remnant soul, they won’t have to hide like this in the near future.

  I thought that angels could provide a great boost to the sect’s revival, but I didn’t expect it to go out of control and disappear after just using it twice?

  The hunchbacked old man would never have imagined in his dreams that the [Sacred Nail of Light and Darkness] that was robbed before would happen to be in the camp by such a coincidence.

   Coincidentally, there is an old man Xu who can summon the soul of an angel.

  At this time, in the camp full of wandering zombies, a veiled woman also came quietly.

  The hunchbacked old man said anxiously: “Boss, the angel is out of control. You go first”

  He knows very well that without the Weeping Angel, the undead natural disasters that have not yet become a reality can’t stop the guy from Bureau X.

  Hearing this, the woman’s pair of silver moon-like crystal eyes also flashed a touch of solemnity, she shook her head and said, “It’s too late.”

  At this moment, the two watched a muscular man running towards the sky, surrounded by evil spirits.

  The person who came was Xie Guozhong from Bureau X.

  Xie Guozhong and the others came here to deal with the incident of belief pollution in Innocence City.

  Before, they all thought that it would be just some small shrimps polluted by the belief of ancient relics, as they had been processed countless times.

  At least when they were in Innocence City, they still thought so.

  However, I didn’t expect that this time they came to the Thunder Fortress camp. The wanted criminals of the Silver Moon Sect had weeping angels with one hand and natural disasters with the other hand, and they almost didn’t suffer a big loss.

   Judging from the current situation, if these believers are let go today, they may be in big trouble if they meet again next time.

   Faith is immortal, gods are immortal.

  Xie Guozhong faintly felt that these guys might have grasped the key to revive the old gods.

  The Old Continent did have great opportunities, but it also gave these old believers a lot of help.

  So even if he took some risks, he decided that these old believers must be strangled here this time.

   “Boom!”

   “Boom!”

   “Boom!”

  “.”

  The battle coming from the direction of the camp was very intense.

  Xie Guozhong went back.

  Ji Xun and the others are no longer running around in the dark shadow of the undead, which is full of dangers.

  The five of them waited in place.

  Xie Guozhong’s combat power is extraordinary, and he also brought a lot of equipment aimed at the old believers. Without the ultimate move of angel, the people of the Silver Moon Sect may not be able to get benefits.

  The facts are as they expected.

   Not long after the battle took place, the dark aura of the dead all around gradually dissipated.

  The field of vision gradually became clearer.

  The outline of the camp with lights on also appeared in the field of vision.

  However, looking at the past at this time, the mechanical camp made of steel is now completely devastated.

  The thick steel plate and rivet spliced ​​walls are full of gaps in energy, and the buildings in the camp are also destroyed.

  The silver moon in the sky has disappeared.

  You can guess the ending just by looking at this posture.

  Since the old believers have receded, there is no need to run around.

  The five of Ji Xun returned to the dilapidated camp all the way.

  As soon as he walked in, he looked at the ruins. Xie Guozhong in a windbreaker was sitting on a metal box, smoking a cigarette, thinking about something solemnly.

  Assistant Awen walked over, looked around, and asked, “Captain? Where are those old-timers?”

  Xie Guozhong said indifferently: “Run away.”

As he said that, he exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: “The old believers of the Silver Moon Sect have become popular, and the pollution of beliefs is worse than we expected. This time, when we return to the game, write a more detailed report. I hope it will attract attention. high-level attention.”

   “Yes, Captain.”

   Having said that, Mushroom Head on the side also took out his notebook and carefully wrote the record report.

  After Xie Guozhong finished speaking, he didn’t speak for a long time.

   Ji Xun also looked at the camp, and it was strange that there was not a single corpse.

  It’s like the tide of the sea is ebbing, taking away the fish and shrimp.

  The black tide of undead receded and took away the corpse.

  The huge camp is empty, making people feel gloomy.

   If you don’t witness what happened with your own eyes, no one will believe it. There were tens of thousands of people alive in the ruins before you, and it was very lively.

  The crisis has passed. Not far away, the old man Xu, who is missing his front teeth, has completely lost the panic he felt when he fled just now.

  He was not polite at all, he quietly rummaged through the ruins, and when he found something, he muttered from time to time: “Oh, I got rich, I got rich~”

  This wretched and greedy appearance, from head to toe, can’t see the air of the mysterious master before.

  But the more so, the more mysterious Ji Xun felt when he saw the old man.

  It feels like the mystery of seeing an incomprehensible catastrophe.

   Didn’t wait to think about it, and suddenly heard Xie Guozhong yell not far away: “Old man Xu, come over for a drink?”

  Ji Xun looked over, and Xie Guozhong found two barrels of unbroken beer from nowhere, and greeted him with a smile.

  He seemed to be in a good state of mind, and he didn’t see the depression and deepness just now on his face at all. At this moment, he only had a hearty and heroic smile.

  Old man Xu ran over when he heard that there was some wine to drink, “Good.”

   As he spoke, Xie Guozhong still did not forget to greet Ji Xundao: “Brother, do you want to have a drink together?”

“good.”

  Ji Xun listened to greet himself, thought for a moment, and walked over.

   Together with two assistants, the six people who fled together sat at the edge of the table made of rotten wooden boards and drank together.

   Ji Xun originally didn’t want to deal with official people, after all, he still has the identity of an “assassin”.

   But the current situation is a little tricky, because he has an [Angel] in his hand.

  If the other party is really malicious and wants to leave, it may not be possible for him to leave.

   But apparently not.

   And Xie Guozhong gave him a very good impression.

  Frank, heroic, honest.

  He is also interested in getting in touch with the current situation.

  One more thing, Ji Xun is very interested in the evil ghost’s secret technique, and also covets the cross left in the camp.

  The light and dark cross soaked with the blood of angels cannot be stored in the storage space. Now that the angels are gone, the use of this cross is not too great for those Silver Moon believers.

   It was probably too heavy, so I stayed behind when I fled.

   But after all, this is Xie Guozhong’s trophy, and it looks like he is going to take it away as evidence.

  Ji Xun thought that since he was invited to drink, he would be able to talk.

  Six people sat down, poured wine, got some dried meat or something to eat, and chatted on the ruins.

   It can be considered that we have shared weal and woe, and the few people did not seem to be as good as before.

   “Old man Xu, where have you been all these years?”

   “You saved me once back then. In a different-dimensional space. The secret method of hiding your head in your crotch was taught to me back then.”

   “Do you remember what exactly you were looking for? Maybe I can help now.”

   “Forgot everything?”

  “.”

   Now the situation is not critical, and a few people can chat about unimportant things.

  Xie Guozhong originally wanted to catch up with old man Xu.

   The people next to them are also curious about their relationship.

  However, after this chat, I realized that old man Xu had forgotten everything.

  The old man seems to have very severe senile amnesia, almost forgetting the memory of more than a year.

  Through the dialogue between the two, Ji Xun also knew why old man Xu was running around in different dimensions.

   Not for treasure hunting, not for living.

   But to find something.

  I thought it was a treasure that was hard to find.

   But what surprised everyone the most was that even Old Man Xu himself didn’t remember what “something” he was looking for.

   Just knowing is important stuff.

   When he met Xie Guozhong twenty years ago, he was looking for him.

   Still looking for it now.

   It seems that he has forgotten something very important in time, and he wants to get it back.

  He not only forgot Xie Guozhong, he even forgot his own name.

  But I didn’t forget that I was looking for something that was important to me.

  Even he didn’t really remember the ability to draw spells freehand before.

  It’s more like the muscle memory engraved in the soul. When encountering a critical situation, I draw it casually.

  Old man Xu doesn’t seem to care about the past, but he is not as good as a wine glass.

  Many things were recalled by the boy named “Che Er” next to him.

  The boy is an orphan that old man Xu met in Innocence City.

  The old man was lonely, and the young man didn’t dislike him, so he became a little follower.

   also became his “notepad”.

  Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard old man Xu’s story, but also a little embarrassed.

  Mostly, Xie Guozhong and Old Man Xu were talking, and the others didn’t speak much.

  Ji Xun also sat in a corner.

  At this time, Xie Guozhong raised his wine glass and turned towards Ji Xun.

  He didn’t have the slightest sense of oppression like a master, and he grinned kindly and said, “What’s your name, brother?”

   “Ji Xun.”

  Ji Xun didn’t hide it either.

  Xie Guozhong listened, and said with a hearty smile: “Brother Ji Xun is very powerful. When I saw you last time in Innocence City, I knew you were absolutely extraordinary. Looking at it now, I really didn’t miss you.”

   There is no mention of assassination in this sentence, but it is obviously referring to assassination.

   After all, the war mode ruined the 300 beast army, which must be a difficult story.

   But still survived, this is the real skill.

  Ji Xun was a little surprised that the official didn’t ask about the details of the assassination, but cared about it.

  But he shook his head when he heard this, and said, “Your Excellency thinks too highly of me.”

   This is not modesty.

   In front of others, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

   But on this table, he is not afraid to make a big deal.

  Not to mention Xie Guozhong and the mysterious old man Xu, even those two young assistants, Ji Xun felt that it was not easy.

  The only one who thinks he can see clearly is probably the boy named Che Er.

  Even if it was a temptation, Xie Guozhong spoke frankly and directly.

  At this time, he asked: “I’m just curious, you are not a member of Thirteen Kamen Riders, and which company do you work for?”

   After all, he is an official, so many things still need to be investigated.

  Ji Xundao: “I don’t work for anyone. I’m a lone hunter.”

   “Lone Hunter?”

  Hearing these words, Xie Guozhong took another look at him, and a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

   You must know that the spell card master pays attention to the accumulation of resources, such as demon marks, breathing methods, martial arts, equipment and so on.

   A lone traveler without power, no matter how talented he is, it is difficult to go far.

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong became interested instead, and asked: “Brother Ji Xun, are you interested in joining our ‘Federal X Bureau’? I am very optimistic about you. If you are really interested, I can be your referrer. Entry procedures and everything will be simplified”

“this”

  Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard this.

   This person doesn’t care about his assassination of a high-ranking noble?

  Being able to join the X bureau is similar to the feeling of going ashore in the previous life.

  For ordinary people, it is a big opportunity for pie in the sky.

  But Ji Xun couldn’t arouse the slightest interest.

  He likes this world only because it is mysterious, dangerous, and exciting, which makes his soul feel alive.

   Instead of looking for a secure job.

  He thought that the other party invited him, maybe it was because of that “angel”?

  The two assistants on the side couldn’t hide their surprise, wondering why their captain invited a stranger.

   You must know that Bureau X has a very high recruitment threshold.

  Almost only the best graduates of Federal College are eligible to be interns.

   Like the two of them.

  One is to ensure the origin and composition of the personnel in the bureau.

  The second is strength.

  Dragon City Federal Academy is a holy place for spell card masters.

  It can be said that those who graduated from the Federal Academy may not necessarily be able to become high-level spell card masters;

  But at present, more than 80% of the existing high-level spell card masters have the experience of studying in the Federation Academy.

   Neither of them expected that their captain would be so keen on meeting a lone hunter in a place like the Innocence City?

   “I might have to think about it.”

  Ji Xun did not directly refuse.

  I always feel that there may be some contact with this official organization in the future.

   “That’s right. Think about it. When I was young, I also felt that I would be bound, but the actual game is fine”

  Xie Guozhong smiled heartily, expressing his understanding.

  His words were very sincere, and the invitation didn’t feel oppressive, just like a friend.

Thinking about it, Ji Xun didn’t hide it, and said his purpose: “Before that, if possible, can [Light and Dark Cross] be given to me? Or exchange it? I think I probably need this thing”

  He also saw that Xie Guozhong’s observation skills were very keen, even if he only glanced at the cross just now.

  The other party had already guessed that he was interested in that thing.

  I wanted to say buy, but obviously the other party is not short of money.

  So, I can only vaguely hint that there is an angel in me and I need this thing.

   If it doesn’t work, swap it.

  Although the angel is in the holy nail, Ji Xun dare not say it is his own.

   But the Holy Nail is undoubtedly his own.

  At present, it seems that the cross is more valuable than an uncontrollable angel.

“this”

  When Xie Guozhong heard this, his decisive personality also showed a rare embarrassed expression.

  He didn’t know that Ji Xun wanted the cross for the divine blood on it, but thought it was for the angel sealed in the holy nail.

   But in fact, when inviting Ji Xun, apart from really thinking that he is very suitable for the chaotic order of “outlaw lunatics”, pity is only one of them.

   There is another important reason.

   That’s Bureau X’s containment procedure.

   You must know that [Weeping Angel], a taboo existence that can cause widespread death, was originally the key object of their X bureau to contain.

  But now the karma of that angel is on Ji Xun’s body again, if he wears the Holy Nail rashly, there may be big problems.

  The correct way to deal with it is to take this person away together.

   But it’s definitely wrong to take it away.

   So the best option is to put him in Bureau X.

  There are many talents in the bureau, and there is one more angel, killing two birds with one stone.

  Xie Guozhong said: “This matter involves too much, and it’s hard for me to make a decision.”

  Ji Xun frowned when he looked at him, and obviously knew that this matter was very embarrassing.

   It’s not embarrassing any relic cross.

   It was a dilemma as to how to take the angel away.

   Before this thing existed, it got out of control and took tens of thousands of lives.

  If it gets out of control in some big cities, the consequences are hard to imagine.

  Taking it away and sealing it in the headquarters warehouse is the most reasonable choice.

  Xie Guozhong’s embarrassment just shows that he didn’t think about forcing it.

   With his strength, it is absolutely possible.

  Ji Xun is also very self-aware, and doesn’t think he has the ability to control such a dangerous existence.

   thought he would refuse,

   Thinking about bartering.

But I didn’t think about it, this guy suddenly changed the subject, and seemed to suddenly think of a good way: “Why don’t we. Let’s take a gamble. Roll the dice to bet on the size. If you win, the cross will be given to you. If I If I win, I will take it away. By the way, please go to the bureau with me, and then consider whether to join after the visit?”

  Ji Xun squinted his eyes slightly when he heard this, and immediately responded: “Okay!”

  He has little interest in gambling in general.

   But he is also very interested in this gamble that always feels that winning or losing will be related to the future destiny.

  Xie Guozhong also smiled cheerfully when he heard it, “Okay!”

   Not only Ji Xun had a good impression of him, but he also had a good impression of the young man in front of him.

   But as soon as the words came out, the assistant Awen’s expression changed, and she anxiously reminded: “Captain!”

  She knew that the regulations in the bureau were not binding on her captain.

   But that was another time.

  The last sentence gave up the body of “Plague Doctor” Hessen to this person.

  Angel is such a big problem, how could it be taken away by someone who doesn’t know the details?

  Xie Guozhong smiled and waved his hands, signaling the assistant not to speak.

  He took out three dice out of nowhere and tapped them lightly on the table.

   It seemed that it was just a small movement before the dice was thrown, and no one at the table noticed anything unusual.

   But the old man Xu seemed to see something, and raised his eyebrows to take another look.

  He saw the law of order flowing on the dice.

   But he didn’t speak.

   Ji Xun naturally didn’t see such a profound thing, but he vaguely felt something like the beating of fate.

  Xie Guozhong rolled the dice, Gulu Gulu flipped it over on the table.

  The eyes of several people fixed on the three dice and stopped.

   Finally settled on the points of “3, 4, 5”.

   Not small, but not big either.

  Xie Guozhong looked at the points he threw, frowned, and muttered: “I’m lucky.”

   As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Xun and said, “It’s your turn.”

  Ji Xun didn’t have much to think about, so he picked up three dice.

   Just when he was about to throw it, he felt a throbbing in his heart for a moment, as if he had grasped the pulse of fate.

   There is a stronger feeling than the betting with the dog and life in 407.

  This feeling of holding fate in his hands always gives him an inexplicable sense of confidence and excitement.

  He suddenly grinned.

  Xie Guozhong on the opposite side saw this scene, as if he had noticed something, his pupils shrank slightly.

  Ji Xun threw the dice.

   The dice rolled on the table, and then the number “666” appeared.

  The people at the table were dumbfounded.

  The two young assistants blinked in disbelief.

   If it’s not cheating, isn’t this lucky?

  Even old man Xu showed puzzled eyes.

  Ji Xun looked at it without any disturbance in his heart, as if he was bound to win.

   Xie Guozhong narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the number.

  But after a while, he was relieved and smiled heartily, “Okay. You win, and the things are yours!”

  If it is other points, he will still have some doubts about whether his choice is correct.

   But the 666, that is, doesn’t get much better.

  Order made the choice for him, so there is no need to struggle.

   Said Xie Guozhong raised his glass again: “Drink!”

  Ji Xun also smiled, “Thank you.”

   The two of them completed a bet that would scare people to death by throwing dice.

  Seeing this result, the assistant Awen’s face was very stiff, and she always felt that this was too childish.

  The mushroom head beside him also had a bitter expression on his face, and asked, “Ah, captain, how should I write this report?”

   Xie Guozhong took a sip, and said disapprovingly: “How to write what? The people of the Silver Moon Sect escaped, and the whereabouts of the cross and the angel are unknown. How else can I write it?”

  Mushroom Head: “Oh.”

   While Ji Xun and the others were drinking in the camp.

  An armored steam train was also heading towards the Thunder Fortress camp from the Nugget Port of Innocence City.

   This is the investigation team of the Lionheart family.

  In a carriage with strict barrier defense, there are a man and a woman sitting here.

   There were no guards present.

  Lonely man and widow.

  The man was wearing a gray military uniform, with his signature golden hair, handsome and steady. But there is still a highly recognizable scar on his left eye, which gives people a sense of oppression from an iron-blooded soldier.

  The four stars on the shoulders of the military uniform will shine brightly.

   This is none other than Carlo, the youngest four-star general in the Federation and the powerful figure of the Lionheart Family “Golden Lion”!

   This one has another identity, that is, the second uncle of the young master Kahn who was assassinated just now.

   Opposite him, sat a woman in a gorgeous red court dress.

  The woman is as young as Carlo, but there is no trace of age on her face. Instead, she is full of extravagance, and her brows give people a sense of arrogance that has been in a high position for a long time.

   “The five congressional families of the Federation are still discussing how to carve up the cake of the Old Continent. The conservatives even proposed to completely destroy the City of Innocence and cut off the connection channel of the Old Continent. Tsk tsk, those fat pig politicians are really whimsical.”

“The impact of the Old Continent is too great. No one can guarantee what will be found in this miracle continent. Those people in the parliament are in high positions and have enjoyed privileges for too long. They are afraid that someone will shake the rights they already have. It is normal to change the existing pattern.”

   “After those greedy politicians have negotiated, we have already established a firm foothold in the Old Continent.”

   “General Carlo. Don’t forget you promised me when the time comes.”

   “Of course, ma’am. You have the most complete information on the Old Continent, and our Lionheart family has the strongest military force in the Federation. Our cooperation will be very pleasant.”

  “.”

  The two talked happily and got the results they wanted.

  Finally, the woman in the red dress also got up, smiled and nodded, “Then I wish us a happy cooperation.”

   Even though Carlo was already one of the most powerful figures in the federal military, he didn’t dare to underestimate the woman in front of him. He stood up and held her hand in a gentlemanly manner.

  The woman in the red skirt smiled charmingly, “Then don’t disturb the general’s rest. It should be almost to the Thunder Fortress, and I will go back and change my clothes.”

   Carlo nodded and greeted: “Come on, take Madam back.”

  The carriage door opened, and the maid came in to greet the beautiful lady respectfully.

After the people left, an old man in a black tuxedo walked in, holding a telegram report: “General, the telegram I just received said that the 17th Legion of the Beast Legion has set off and is heading for the city of innocence. Five days later will arrive.”

  Carol sneered when he heard this, “Hehe, my good-for-nothing nephew has helped the family a lot.”

The old man is Carlo’s most trusted staff member, and he also planned this matter, saying: “Yes. There is no assassination. If the beast army wants to enter the city of innocence, those members of the Federation will definitely stop it. In name, it is still the governor of the city of innocence. The Cao family will definitely be the first to come out and object.”

  Carol said: “Is everything settled?”

The old man said: “Yes, General. Even if someone really finds out, it is Lieutenant General Reiko of the Iron Hands Legion who put up a reward on the black market. After all, Master Kahn just tortured and killed his only daughter. It has nothing to do with us Your itinerary was also arranged several months ago, and no one will suspect your motives for coming.”

Carlo thought that there was nothing missing, pondered for a moment, and said: “Yes. After the legion moves in, deal with the big gangsters in Innocence City as soon as possible. Take control of the Nuggets Wharf as soon as possible, recruit hunters, and prepare to develop the Old Continent on a large scale. “

“yes.”

  The old man nodded, then gestured to the outside of the carriage: “Then that lady?”

Hearing this, Carlo’s eyes flickered sharply, he shook his head and said, “Those remnants of the old era think too naively. Today’s Dragon City is no longer the Supreme Royal Court, and the strength of the major families in the Federation today is also stronger than it was back then. The Lan dynasty era was too strong, how could they succeed in restoration? But they still have value for the time being, so let’s continue to cooperate temporarily according to those conditions, and the infiltration of the secret service team must be stepped up.”

   The follow-up plot has not been sorted out, and there is only one chapter today. Sorry everyone~
