The night wind whistled, and two black figures flashed across the quiet street.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
The gas tank in the alloy box made a slight trembling sound. More than half of the gas stored in it had been consumed. As the gas column in the corner of the alloy box spurted out, the air was invisibly divided and constantly deformed.
The black figures used the strong propulsion of the gas column to hover in the air. They were extremely fast and suddenly disappeared from the sky above the street.
The two figures kept crossing each other. Under the bright moonlight, they were like dancing phantoms, strange and mysterious.
"Boss, are you sure you didn't see wrongly?" The blonde female soldier operated the steam-powered equipment on her body while pulling out the sharp dagger tied to her inner thigh. She held the handle upside down and slid into a combat posture in the air.
Lélie followed closely behind Bai Shanshan. He was more skilled in operating the steam-powered equipment. At this moment, he was at the back to get a wider view.
"It can't be wrong. I've seen that guy a few times. I can recognize him even if he turned into ashes." At this time, Lélie's face was no longer as relaxed as when he faced Li Xiang during the day. His expression was solemn and indescribably dignified. "Damn it, why would he appear in such a small city? Have you notified Lady Bai Yuhan? "
"Yes, I used a messenger bird to send a message to Sister Yuhan as soon as I received your message, Boss. She will be here soon." Bai Shanshan stopped smiling after receiving Lélie's confirmation. Her hand that was holding the dagger was sweating. "Could it be because of the Book of Prophecy …"
"It's possible. Anyway, let's follow and see. No matter what happens, I will cover your retreat." Lélie nodded. He also saw that person by accident. The memory in his mind would be fuzzy, but the hatred in his heart would not fade. He remembered that person's appearance clearly, even after five years.
What he saw was a member of a super terrorist organization. The organization spanned across seven continents. It was infamous for its ferocity and had committed countless heinous crimes.
When Lei Lie was still a small soldier, the military company he was in had been completely annihilated in an attack. At that time, he was the only one who had survived, and one of the attackers was that guy.
The two of them moved at high speed in the air. The results of the Unified Recruitment Exam would be announced tonight. Basically, everyone would stay at home to study their children's exam results. Then, they would use all sorts of connections to start planning for their future. There weren't many people walking on the streets. Even if they saw them in the air and understood that they were from the military patrolling, they would immediately avoid them and go home.
Lélie did not expect to see that guy while patrolling. The gas tank in the alloy box was not fully loaded, and at such a high speed, the tank would soon be empty. The other party was obviously moving with a purpose. Even on land, he maintained a very fast speed. If this continued, they would lose him!
The black dot in his line of sight was about to disappear. Lélie let out a low growl and accelerated his flight. He absolutely could not let him escape like this! For five whole years, he had been constantly searching for traces of them. Now that he had finally found them, he had to make them stay no matter what!
Boom!
The last gas column in the alloy box shot out. Lélie, who was in mid-air, had already left Bai Shanshan some distance behind. Bai Shanshan, who did not know why her captain suddenly accelerated, could only grit her teeth and keep up. She was not skilled enough in controlling the maneuvering device, and her speed of consumption was much faster than Lélie's. When the last bit of gas was used up, she could only roll over and land on the roof of a house.
After rolling on the hard concrete floor for a few rounds to offset the high speed impact, Bai Shanshan stood up. She could no longer see her captain's figure. She could only jump on the roof to search for him.
On the other side, Lélie had also run out of gas and landed on the roof of a house. He had still lost the chase, but he saw an unexpected scene.
In a small alley not far away, a young boy and a young girl were leaning against the wall, their heads lowered as they whispered to each other. He recognized the young boy as Li Xiang, who had awakened the "Death Magic Circuit" during the day. The girl seemed to be the young miss of the Fei family.
"Why aren't these two kids home in the middle of the night? What are they doing sneaking around?" Having lost them, Lélie sighed helplessly. To relieve the frustration in his heart, he went over to eavesdrop on them out of curiosity.
"I want to. I've already made arrangements for Yetong. Although Keihoku University does not have a family dormitory, it is not difficult to get a house nearby. Her illness cannot be delayed any longer. I know you don't like to … don't like to ask for help, and don't like to owe me a favor, but it really cannot be delayed any longer."
Fei Yujing said softly as she held his report card. She understood that it was very, very difficult for a young boy with high self-esteem to accept such a gift that was almost like charity from her. She knew Li Xiang too well. If he really did not care about these things, and did not care about what other people said or looked at him, he would have come to her for help after leaving the orphanage.
She knew Li Xiang very well, but it was the Li Xiang when he was 18 years old.
At that time, he really did not want to accept this kind of help, especially when it came from the girl he liked. It could be said that he was arrogant or pretentious, but the young and hot-blooded him would rather take his sister to another city alone than stay under Fei Yujing's family and let his sister suffer the same indignation as him, even if this was not Fei Yujing's original intention.
But now, Li Xiang would not be affected by such youthful pride. Perhaps there was still some of this temper hidden in his body, but it would not affect his thinking.
Li Xiang was thinking about how much Fei Yujing would have to pay for this, how much pressure she would have to bear, and the difficulties that the three of them might encounter in the future, and so on. Was this really the best path?
But she was just like that. She would always smile faintly when facing him, and occasionally act coquettishly. She would never tell him about the difficulties she faced.
Deep down, the two of them were too similar.
"Mm, Xiao Yu, I understand. It's not that I don't want to, but because of this, did you promise something to your family? Will it have a big impact on you? You know, even if I don't go to Keihoku University, I have a lot of military universities in the north to choose from. It won't be that difficult, "Li Xiang said as he held her shoulders.
"Hey, what an idiot. Girls say and do this because they want to tie you tightly to their side! If they don't have a strong desire to control you, then they must like you a lot. Idiot, idiot. Why don't you agree to such good conditions? The military university might not be as good as you think. " Lélie, who was secretly watching from above, was so angry that his teeth were itching. With his experience, he naturally understood the entanglement between them very quickly. In his opinion, what was there for Li Xiang to hesitate about? This was a great opportunity.
When they entered the university, they would understand how important resources were to them!
Lélie, who was also a commoner, was very clear about this point. No matter how talented a rootless duckweed was, there was a limit to what one could achieve alone. If he had such a good girl's favor back then, how could he still be a small Sergeant Major now?
Lélie was a little angry that Li Xiang didn't fight for it. He quite liked this little fellow, Li Xiang. He could still maintain a calm state of mind after going through such a big setback. Just this point alone was not something that ordinary people of the same age could compare to.
In the future of cultivation, the state of mind would be more important than talent. Even if a person with a weak state of mind had great achievements, it was very likely that they would end up in a state of no return.
The more he heard, the more he had the urge to go down and agree on Li Xiang's behalf. However, Lélie also knew that it wasn't good for him to interfere in this kind of matter. Just as he was about to leave, a cold wind suddenly blew behind him.
Then came the terrifying laughter of "keke".
"Sergeant Major Lélie, long time no see. I thought you were here to catch up with me. I didn't expect that after waiting for so long, you would be here watching two little brats flirt."
The voice of the person who spoke was very ear-piercing, like the sound of metal violently rubbing against each other. It was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears.
Lélie turned his head abruptly, but there was no one behind him.
"Oh no, two little brats!" He immediately went back to look at the small alley. The young man and young girl's conversation stopped abruptly. The young man named Li Xiang seemed to be more alert than him. He immediately protected the young girl behind him, leaned against the wall, and stared vigilantly at the black cloaked man descending from the sky. The place where they were originally standing was filled with smoke, and a large hole had been blasted open.
His target was those two little brats?
This strange thought suddenly arose in Lélie's mind. His legs suddenly exerted strength, and his leg muscles tightened. His body paused for a second before rushing out with a whoosh!
When he pounced on the black cloaked man, he realized that what he crashed into was only a black cloak. The man's body had disappeared again.
"What a fast speed. He's much faster than before!" Lélie's heart sank. The man had attacked the military company with a group of people when he was still a small soldier. At that time, the man's strength was close to that of a magic apprentice. After five years, he didn't believe that the man hadn't improved.
"Sergeant Lélie!" Li Xiang was protecting Fei Yujing when he saw the man pouncing in the dark night. Before the black cloaked man appeared, a strong sense of danger rose in his heart. The place where the two of them were originally standing had a large hole blasted open with a punch. If it weren't for his quick reaction, the two of them might have been killed in the first blow.
"Run, what are you waiting for?" Lélie roared at him, then pulled out the steam gun on his back. It was the style of a submachine gun and didn't need to be loaded with bullets. There was also a transparent test tube under the barrel filled with gas. Li Xiang had never seen this type of gun before.
When it came to firearms, there was nothing he didn't know. However, this was the first time he had seen the steam gun in front of him. Through the barrel, he could clearly see the structure inside. The trace of fear that had just risen in Li Xiang's heart was immediately replaced by excitement.
The girl behind him was pale. She hadn't recovered from the blow just now. Even if she was a young lady from a large family, this was the first time she had encountered an assassination attempt. She shrank behind Li Xiang, her mind blank. Looking over, Li Xiang's side profile was full of calmness.
He was actually not afraid at all.
Boom!
The barrel of the gun made a vibrating sound that Li Xiang was familiar with. At the same time as the sound of the gun spurted out, a light blue flame appeared at the muzzle. Then, a white column of gas that could be seen with the naked eye directly shot forward!
Compressed air to the extreme and then shot out explosively, the resulting air flow was extremely destructive. This was a theoretical setting, but in reality, the damage it could cause was very limited.
However, the steam gun in Lélie's hand was different. It was different from the ones he had seen, used, and tried to design!
The precise mechanical structure exploded with a terrifying amount of energy when it was activated, and the gas stored inside was used as a driving force.
In front of his eyes, the entire wall across the street shattered like tofu!
