Scarlet Moon Bar.
Li Xiang, who was the last to arrive, saw Ming Xu lying on the bar counter covered in blood. His eyes turned cold. Surrounding her were Scarlet Moon and the others, as well as Yu Yi, who had a serious expression on his face.
Seeing Li Xiang walk over, Yu Yi waved at him.
"What happened?" Li Xiang looked at Ming Xu, who was in a semi-conscious state, and asked in a low voice, "This injury … Steam pistol? Basic type, not the official caliber. About one-third of the air column penetrated her waist and grazed her, injuring her internal organs. "
His eyes were sharp, and with his understanding of firearms, he could basically reconstruct the scene of Ming Xu's injury. The only doubt he had was that since Black Fist could not use firearms, Ming Xu should not have been shot so easily.
Vulture explained again. Hearing Ghost Mackerel's name, Li Xiang's eyes turned even colder.
"So they broke the rules?" Li Xiang glanced at Yu Yi. Yu Yi's expression was terrible as well. "Why didn't you send Ming Xu for treatment?"
"It's too late. There are no good hospitals in City 0126. If she wants to go, she can only go back to Hangzhou. Taking the steam locomotive in her current state is equivalent to suicide. " Yu Yi had a headache. He was partly responsible for this. The fact that no one could treat her was also a big problem.
"I have a way, but I'll need a large amount of Source Gas." Scarlet Moon, who had been silent, suddenly said, "We're also responsible for what happened to little sister Ming Xu. I'll take full responsibility."
After Scarlet Moon finished speaking, she got Vulture and the others to stand guard outside. She led Yu Yi and Li Xiang, who was carrying Ming Xu, into the bar.
When they entered the bar, Li Xiang realized that the space inside was shockingly large. Scarlet Moon had hidden a small airship inside! The airship looked a little shabby, and many parts were pieced together. It looked quite large.
"Do you really plan to find a way to go back by yourself?" Yu Yi sighed and exclaimed, "The Southern Land is quite far from here. Do you think you can pass through the spatial turbulence with this half-baked airship?"
"It's better to try than not. You know how big the impact of the galactic vortex is. If people here know that I'm still alive, how long do you think I'll be able to live?" Sister Moon glanced at Li Xiang and Ming Xu and continued. "Thank you for helping me for so long."
"It's nothing. What about you? Have you decided to use that magic to save her?" Yu Yi asked Li Xiang to put Ming Xu on a huge platform. Seeing the puzzled look on his face, he explained, "Don't think too much. I'll tell you everything after I save Ming Xu."
"I'll lay my cards on the table with Little Brother Li Xiang first. Although I have something to do with Ming Xu's sister, it's not just about me using this magic to save her. If I save her, you'll owe me a favor." Scarlet Moon pulled out a pair of red leather gloves and put them on. "An equivalent exchange. Do you accept?"
"Accept." Li Xiang replied without hesitation. "Leave Ming Xu to me as well. If she's not willing to do it after that."
Ming Xu had helped him a lot during the Polar night and during the original mission. Now that he could help, he naturally would not refuse.
"Okay!" Scarlet Moon agreed readily. She asked Li Xiang and Yu Yi to stand guard by her side. She leaned over, and a magic circuit appeared on her right hand. Then, purple moon imprints appeared on her arm.
"Endless Vitality," Sister Moon murmured softly.
When she pressed her hand against Ming Xu's wound, the purple moon imprints surged into her wound one by one. Then, the wound began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The healing process was very fast, and it did not consume any Origin Substance. After Sister Moon finished the magic, her body swayed, and Yu Yi hurriedly went over to support her.
"Impressive. Your clan's inherited magic is quite impressive. Unfortunately, it can only be used once a year." Yu Yi sighed in admiration. He motioned for Li Xiang to help Ming Xu close her clothes. At this moment, the painful expression on her face had faded, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.
While she was asleep, Yu Yi took the opportunity to explain to Li Xiang.
As it turned out, Scarlet Moon was from the distant Southern Continent. She was from the Yue family, one of the Five Sovereigns. The Five Sovereigns all had their own inherited magic. Members of the family could officially learn the magic after they became apprentices.
The "Endless Vitality" of the Yue family was a very famous healing magic. It could bring serious injuries under control in a short period of time and save the victim's life. However, it could only be used once a year, and there was nothing that could be done if the injury was too serious.
However, to Magic Apprentices and Magicians who weren't players yet, this kind of healing Magic Spell was simply too important. Now that Ming Xu had used it on her, however, Sister Moon would lose a powerful trump card. Hence, she owed Ming Xu a huge favor.
As for why she was there, it had something to do with the Astral Swirl three years ago. Many people from other continents had been stranded on the Subcontinent because of it. However, many of them chose not to go back. Some even changed their names, which concerned Li Xiang.
Besides, given Scarlet Moon's identity, it would not be a problem for her to take the continental level shuttle train through her connections. There was no need for her to spend so much money on an Airship to take the risk of going back by herself.
Combined with the unintentional conversation between the two just now, Li Xiang vaguely smelled a hint of something strange, but since Fei Yue and Yu Yi clearly did not want to talk about this matter in detail, he naturally would not be stupid enough to ask.
Yu Yi and Scarlet Moon were college classmates. Therefore, they were quite close. Yu Yi had stayed there for a long time. On one hand, he had to complete the mission assigned to him by Polar night. On the other hand, he wanted to help her. With him around, Gui Wuqi would not go too far.
"Speaking of Gui Wuqi, I heard that he went to explore the ruins again. Is he trying to collect money for his son's return to college? "Yu Yi asked with his arms crossed.
Scarlet Moon nodded. "I think so. I heard that he invited some big shots from the military to go with him. If we can find anything from the ruins, we can make a fortune."
"With this money, you can go back too," Yu Yi laughed.
"I hope so, but I'll still have to trouble you." Scarlet Moon smiled helplessly. "However, I will still pay you in full."
"No need, no need. I don't want to owe you any more favors. In any case, this is related to the mission I accepted, so I'll just help you along the way. Hey, this brat is in a daze. He probably doesn't know how troublesome it is to owe you a favor. "Yu Yi hurriedly waved his hand, refusing Scarlet Moon's offer of payment.
Li Xiang didn't really understand. In this kind of situation, it was better for him to remain silent.
"Little Brother Li Xiang, I heard from Yu Yi that you are quite proficient in machinery?" Scarlet Moon was not pretentious. She straightforwardly made her request. "As you can see, I need an Airship. I told Vulture and the others about the Origin Form gas. Remember to keep it a secret. This Airship is the most important thing to me. I hope that you can help me with it. Of course, I won't disturb your training. "
"No problem, but my abilities are limited. I might not be able to help much." Li Xiang laughed. He was telling the truth. He was indeed talented in machinery, but that didn't mean that he had the ability to build an Airship.
"That's fine. Of course I won't ask you to build it. It's just a matter of some details," Scarlet Moon replied with a smile. She then looked at Ming Xu. "Speaking of which, your Polar night is really a mysterious place. The Dong Ling Clan's little girl, who has awakened her talent as a player, actually came here. With her talent, it wouldn't be a problem for her to get a position in the Dong Ling Clan. There's no need for her to risk her life like this. Right, which branch family does Little Sister Ming Xu belong to? "
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "She rarely talks about herself. I'm not too sure either."
"Alright, alright. You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." Yu Yi patted him heavily on the shoulder. "Do you know why I dared to tell you about Little Moon's situation? If you can't graduate from the second phase of training, then you'll be a dead man. If you can successfully graduate, then you'll also be a member of the Polar night, just like me. There's no distinction between you and me in the Polar night. Moreover, you've been assigned to the same team, which means that you'll have to live and die together in the future. I didn't tell you this before because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it. Looks like I worried too much. You guys have a pretty good relationship. "
"Wait, live and die together?" Li Xiang vaguely felt that something important had been hidden from him.
"That's right. The Serpent Team. You're in the same team, so you'll naturally be allies in the final exam. You either live or die together, unless you have the ability to face two people on your own." Yu Yi said solemnly. "This is the rule of the Twelve Zodiac Project. The reason why I didn't tell you at the beginning was that I was worried that you'd think too much."
"Yeah, the Polar night is indeed a cruel place. But I still envy you guys. You'll be able to obtain the qualifications of a player after coming out alive. This is the lifelong pursuit of countless people," Crimson Moon lamented. Crimson Moon sighed with emotion. "Only after entering university will you understand that even if you become a magician, you can still see too little. If you want to know everything, you have to keep moving forward. Only players can stand in front of the real truth. Although everyone didn't say it out loud in school, they were all very envious of you, Yu Yi. "
"Haha, who told you guys not to sign up for the Polar night? Everything we have now was exchanged for with their lives. Do you think it's so easy? " Yu Yi glanced at her, then turned to Li Xiang and said, "By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you. For the time being, don't think about finding trouble with Ghost Mackerel."
"Gui Wuqi, Ghost Mermaid's father, is much more complicated than you can imagine. Besides, because of that relic, a lot of big figures have been supporting him recently. Don't tell me you're not afraid of anything by yourself." Yu Yi reminded him. Seeing that Li Xiang did not have much of a reaction, he added, "It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I'll help you guys get back at them sooner or later. Those who dared to touch my Serpent, the grass on their graves is already several meters high. "
"I understand." Li Xiang just lowered his head and wiped the blood off his hands. Yu Yi could not figure out what he was thinking.
