In this vast sea of people, Dong Ling, Lan and her daughter might have already boarded the Chi Chi. Where should he go to find them?
"Hmm?"
Li Xiang and Ming Xu were stunned at the same time. They looked in the direction of the left clock tower, where a blurry shadow flashed by. Then, almost as if by conditioned reflex, they determined that the blurry trajectory that caused the air to vibrate was a translucent bullet!
The intense palpitations reminded him of the moment when he was almost shot in the head by a sniper at Black City Station. His body instinctively retreated, and he was about to pull Ming Xu up when he realized that her figure had already disappeared from his field of vision.
"Pu!"
A small bullet hole appeared in the ground in front of him. With the experience from last time, Li Xiang immediately turned around and retreated, trying his best to avoid the powder inside the bullet before it dispersed.
This time, the opponent didn't use the terrifying armor-piercing bullet, but a special kind of bullet. It was translucent and had very little power, but when it touched the ground, the powder mixed in the air and gradually diffused.
A fishy smell surged in the vicinity. There weren't many people in the service area, and soon, a few men in black windbreakers stood up shakily from their seats. Seeing them, Li Xiang's eyes shone.
"Ho!" "Roar!"
The men in windbreakers let out beast-like growls and charged at Li Xiang. He pulled out his fangs and got into a fighting stance. The wound on his left arm was still aching, and he probably couldn't use any strength.
Soon, they were fighting. This group of men in windbreakers was even more berserk. Because of the previous battle, he understood the characteristics of the other party. In the battle, he gave up on the idea of injuring the other party, and directly used his fiercest attacks to target the heart and head.
On the Twin Lighthouses.
A bearded man smoking a cigarette stood up from the left clock tower, his eyes revealing a trace of disbelief. He looked thoughtfully at Li Xiang who was fighting with the men in windbreakers.
He had been lurking here for a day and a night, and when he received the Kuang Tie's message, he was so angry that he almost fainted. Did this kid think he was his father? He actually dared to order him to do things in a threatening tone.
Although he was angry, he still suppressed his displeasure and did as he was told. After all, this transaction was too important to the tarot card industry.
The important members of the organization were all wanted criminals in various continents, and it was very difficult for them to enter any numbered cities. The people who maintained contact and trade with the forces in these places were members like them who had been hiding in the cities.
He had been in tarot cards for nearly ten years and finally had the opportunity to advance. This important mission had to be completed!
The man was surprised by Li Xiang's reaction. After the first failure, he had given up on the idea of killing Li Xiang with a single shot. First, he used the zombies to slow down Li Xiang's movements, then he would look for a chance to kill him in one shot!
For a proud Sniper, such a strategy was tantamount to admitting that he did not have the ability to kill the opponent. If it were in the past, he would rather give up on the mission target than use such a method to hunt. But this time, it was different. His persistence was nothing compared to the deal and future promotion!
He looked at Li Xiang, who was already entangled by the zombies. He slowly leaned down and aimed his eyes through the scope, looking for the right time to shoot.
There was not much time left. Soon, the people from Hangzhou's military would arrive. At that time, he would have to evacuate as soon as possible. The military officers dispatched by such a mega city were likely to be people he could not fight against.
He searched for an opportunity and suddenly remembered that there was a girl with a dangerous aura beside Li Xiang.
"Where is that girl?" While he was puzzled, a bullet pierced through the air and shot toward him in the clock tower from an unknown direction!
A bullet gun!
He was too sensitive to this type of gun. The moment the air was distorted, he quickly turned his body and dodged the fatal blow!
Bang!
The huge gear behind him was ejected. The metal bullet bounced a few times and fell to the ground.
The man got up with a palpitating heart and subconsciously began to disassemble the gun to get away. A sniper's hiding position being exposed was the scariest thing for him, not to mention being exposed in the sight of another sniper.
Ignoring Li Xiang, he put away the sniper rifle that had been disassembled and planned to go down the lighthouse. At that moment, subtle footsteps came from the corridor below. The opponent had come up!
There was no way out.
He pulled out the steam pistol, and the figure at the end of the corridor flashed. He jumped in at an extremely fast speed.
The girl's black and red miniskirt fluttered in the wind. The moment Ming Xu appeared, he realized that it was too late to shoot. The man decisively abandoned the steam pistol in his hand. The military knife on his back drew a dazzling trajectory and pierced towards her carotid artery.
Ding!
The military knife and the silver dagger collided. Ming Xu lowered her body and dodged the man's punch. She kicked out and her body took the opportunity to hover in the air like a butterfly. A phantom flashed, and the man's vision went blank. He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Ming Xu's cold body wrapped around his waist. She suddenly exerted force from the back. His waist and abdomen felt intense pain as if it was being torn apart. He only felt that his body was out of balance, and the world was spinning. Following the movement of Ming Xu's waist, he flipped in the air with her and then fell heavily to the ground!
The man was dizzy from the fall, and he saw stars. Ming Xu pressed on his back in a riding position. Her left hand held the man's arm, and her right hand used the greatest strength to stab the silver dagger from the back of the man's head.
This set of close combat moves was extremely smooth. Encountering an opponent with extremely high physical skills, the man only felt that he was unlucky. As he was dying, he clenched his teeth and waved his right hand. In a panic, he hit something hard.
"Eh?"
Ming Xu hesitated for a moment, but still used the dagger to blast the man's head. After that, she didn't care about the last hit and jumped out.
The steam pistol flew out from the hollow of the clock tower. When Ming Xu reached out and couldn't catch it, she realized that half of her body had also jumped out of the clock tower.
Below her was the ground of the service area. It was dozens of meters away from the clock tower, and she didn't have anything to hold on to. She could only watch as the steam pistol fell with her.
Pa!
At the last moment, a hand suddenly reached out and wrapped around her slender waist that was already outside the clock tower. The warm touch made her body tremble.
"You're f * cking crazy." Li Xiang snorted and pulled her body back from the scenery outside. Ming Xu's hand grasped the air, and then fell into his arms in frustration.
Li Xiang's left hand passed through her legs, and his right arm wrapped around her waist. He carried Ming Xu back into the clock tower. A fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose. He awkwardly put Ming Xu back on the ground and then looked at the corpse on the ground that was no longer moving.
It was quite satisfying to see the enemy who wanted to kill him twice finally die. At the same time, he had a whole new level of respect for Ming Xu. This girl was simply a natural assassin. From discovering the enemy's trace to shooting to induce him to think of retreating, and finally killing him, this set of processes was neat and tidy. He didn't know how many times she had done it.
Li Xiang kicked the corpse on the ground. When the corpse flipped over and revealed its face, his head exploded with a "weng" sound!
It's him.
Li Xiang was afraid that he would never forget the appearance of this man. It was this man with a face full of stubble that recommended him to tarot cards in his previous life. At the same time, he was also his first teacher.
After discovering Li Xiang's talent in firearms, this man taught him the basics as a teacher and guided Li Xiang in the early stages of his tarot card career.
A year later, he surpassed this teacher and then stepped into the core area step by step. But for this man, he always had a complicated feeling in his heart.
He originally thought that he would never meet him in this life, but he didn't expect to see him again here.
In his memory, he was the person who was mainly responsible for communication and intelligence in the city.
Li Xiang squatted down and searched for a while. Sure enough, he found a lot of relics.
A special tarot card.
A man was resting quietly under three hanging swords. The man also had a sword next to him. He could get up and move at any time.
This was the fourth sword of the tarot card.
He picked up the black card. Some of the internal rules of the tarot card slowly emerged from his memory.
The tarot card was a huge organization. In addition to the 78 card characters, there were also subordinate groups. The members of the subordinate groups were interspersed in various industries in various cities. Their identities were complicated and they covered a wide range of areas.
However, unlike other organizations, the authority levels of the tarot cards were strictly divided from the top to the bottom. The 22 Great Acana cards were the core 22 members. Each of them had their own characteristics and rarely changed. They held the most resources and authority.
The 56 Small Acana cards were the official members of the organization. This meant that they admitted that they were members of the tarot card. But they didn't know each other's identity. Communication was also a one-way method. There was only one superior leader — a Big Acana card holder.
The Small Acana card holder would have a communication network in a specific area. Usually, there would be about three subordinate groups of 5-10 people in the network. These subordinate groups didn't have cards. They had different identities and didn't admit that they were members of the tarot card. They gathered together for various reasons such as interests. They shared information and solved problems with each other. They relied on the tarot card to form a huge community of interests.
Because of the tarot card's terrifying pursuit of traitors, these subordinate groups were very reliable. They could also apply for a promotion after the death of the superior Small Acana card holder. If no one applied, a new holder would be sent to take over.
It was worth mentioning that the subordinate groups were local and fixed. But the superior card holders would change periodically.
The huge interests allowed them to gather together. At the same time, it also made it difficult for outsiders to intervene. Once someone wanted to touch someone's interests, they would be met with a terrifying backlash. Because you wouldn't know how many people around you were members of the subordinate group. Maybe you would be killed by others before you could do anything to them.
Li Xiang also found the contact layout and other information on him. Of course, the most important subordinate group list wasn't in it.
"So there aren't any changes. Then the card is also real?" Li Xiang picked up the black card and looked at it against the light source. The card gradually became transparent, showing a strange picture.
Ming Xu looked at him doubtfully. Li Xiang explained it simply.
The Small Acana cards produced by the tarot card had a special effect. This was probably only known by people like him who used to be an insider and very few people.
Scepter, Sword, Holy Grail, Star Coin. As long as one of the four Small Acana cards was collected, one could get a complete map — the map leading to the qualification test.
Passing this test would allow one to be promoted to a Big Acana card holder. Otherwise, one would have to kill a Big Acana card holder to replace him.
And by becoming one of the 22 people, the world of the tarot card would truly be revealed in front of one.
