Zhang Heng didn't know who fired the shot, but the mysterious gunman should have used the same Deicide bullet that attacked Thor and Ms. Succubus earlier. Ordinary bullets obviously couldn't cause such damage.
Zhang Heng had already recognized the person who blocked his way. It was Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmanship in Greek mythology. Although Hephaestus wasn't as famous as Thor Zeus in modern times, he wasn't a nobody. Yet, he was taken down by a single bullet. And this bullet was even more lethal than the first version of the Deicide bullet Zhang Heng had seen before.
And that wasn't the end. As Zhang Heng continued to move forward, gunshots rang one after another, and there was more than one. It seemed that an armed squad was following him, silently escorting him.
However, Zhang Heng didn't understand why they would help him. He didn't have much interaction with the mysterious organization, and he could be regarded as the public enemy of mankind now.
However, the appearance of this squad did make his escape a lot smoother. He didn't even need to do anything, and the supernatural creatures that came at him fell one by one under the muzzle of the squad.
However, the gunshots also exposed their location. The gods weren't fools, and they quickly realized that if they wanted to stop Zhang Heng, they had to kill the squad around him first.
So after a quarter of an hour, the gunshots suddenly became more intense, and the center of the battlefield shifted from Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment. He knew that he might be able to save some people if he intervened, but he would probably be delayed by the battle. In the end, Zhang Heng chose to run toward the place where the gunshots were coming from.
But the moment he took a step forward, a bullet landed less than half a meter in front of him.
Zhang Heng had no choice but to stop. He knew what the gunner meant. He did not want Zhang Heng to intervene in the battle on his side. Seeing this, Zhang Heng did not dawdle. He decisively used the time the team bought him and continued to run forward.
At the same time, on a cliff less than half a kilometer away from him, another battle was silently unfolding.
A woman dressed in a long white dress stood barefoot on the tallest rock. Her long black hair hung down to her waist, and there was a long sword at her waist. She looked very heroic, but the strange thing was that her eyes were covered with a cloth.
The expression on her face was somewhat unreadable. She said to the other woman in front of her, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"Teacher, you've been working very hard during this period of time. Why don't you rest a little tonight?"
"I chose you to be my representative, not only because of your fighting strength and intelligence, but also because you have the same belief as me. There are many people in this world who pursue justice, but only a few can persist to the end, because sometimes justice only rewards you with pain. Just like now, I know you have a good relationship with him, and you even like him in your heart, but this is a hurdle you have to overcome, because only by crossing this hurdle can you truly understand what justice is."
Shen Xixi shook her head. "I once promised him that if he really got lost in the darkness, no matter how far he went, no matter what sins he committed, I would never give up on finding him. Besides, he did not do anything wrong in the first place. He did not choose to become the master of R 'yleh's vessel," Zhang Heng said.
"I told you a long time ago that some people are born with sin. You just don't believe it," the woman in white said. "From the moment he was targeted by the master of R 'yleh, his life was tightly bound to destruction. For him, there are only two choices in the future. Either destroy the world, or destroy himself. In comparison, the latter outcome will bring less evil."
"Evil is evil. There is no difference between big and small. And I don't think he is as desperate as you said."
"Him hiding in this deep mountain is the best proof. This means that he has also given up on saving himself, but he does not have the courage to kill himself. It's your love for him that blinds you."
A look of contempt flashed in the woman's eyes. "I should have done it the first time we met, but Kronos interrupted me halfway. Now, it's time to finish the work that I failed to do before."
But after she said this, Shen Xixi did not step aside. She just repeated, "Teacher has done a lot for this world. It's time to take a break."
"You really … disappoint me. There must be a limit to your willfulness." The woman in white's voice also became cold. "You should know that although I chose you as my agent, I have always regarded you as my student. I asked you to call me teacher. My expectations for you are far more than just helping me win this game. I even gave you my balance."
"It is precisely because of this that I am standing in front of you today, teacher. That guy has made his choice. Now it's my turn." Shen Xixi bowed slightly and raised the balance in her hand.
"I gave you your ability, and I gave you your weapon. Do you want to use these to fight against me?" The woman in white's sarcasm grew.
"No, there are still rounds of games. They made me grow up and recognize my heart," Shen Xixi said. "Besides, I have friends."
As her voice fell, Rabbit and Li Bai also came down from the mountain road not far away. Li Bai, in particular, was still eager to fight the famous Justitia, the Goddess of Justice.
The woman in white didn't seem surprised at all. Since she had chosen Shen Xixi as her representative, she knew Shen Xixi's background very well. Since her student was going to be here tonight, it was only natural that she would bring Li Bai and Rabbit along.
However, the next moment, she heard the footsteps of a third person. The footsteps were a little unfamiliar to her. It was someone she had never seen before.
"Is your teacher-student interaction session over?" The owner of the footsteps spoke. It was also a girl.
"If you are really as smart as he said, you should know that chatting is also a means of delaying." Shen Xixi's tone was a little strange. She seemed to have a trace of inexplicable vigilance toward the helper she had found.
Meinan Fan smiled. "I'm just taking advantage of the atmosphere to talk a little more. What if your teacher is in a good mood and wants to give me some moral education?"
Meinan Fan wanted to continue, but the woman in white had already interrupted her. "Stop talking nonsense. Let me see what you have prepared."
"Okay," Meinan Fan took out a box of plasticine. "Next, I promise it will be an eye-opener for you."
