Chapter 119 Dice


Chapter 119 Dice

Old man Xu drew runes with blood, which directly caused the Weeping Angel to be absorbed into 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 suddenly changed: "How is that possible?!"

He quickly chanted the spell, but after trying several times, nothing happened. He found that there was no movement at all on the cross beside him, and he could no longer sense any signs of the angel's presence.

I don’t know what happened, but it’s definitely not good news.

The soul of the Weeping Angel was finally obtained by breaking the ancient seal. As long as enough souls are sacrificed, even if it is just a ray of residual soul, in the near future, they will no longer have to hide in Tibet like they are now.

I thought that angels could provide great help for the revival of sects, but I didn’t expect that they had just been used twice and they lost control and disappeared?

Naturally, the hunchbacked old man would never have imagined that the [Sacred Nail of Light and Darkness] that had been kidnapped before would be in the camp by such a coincidence.

What’s even more coincidental is that there is an old man Xu who can summon the souls of angels.

At this time, in a camp full of wandering zombies, a veiled woman quietly arrived.

The hunchbacked old man said urgently: "Chief, the angels are out of control. You go first"

He knew very well that without the Weeping Angels, the undead natural disaster that has not yet become a phenomenon cannot stop X Bureau. That guy.

Hearing this, a look of solemnity flashed across the woman's silver-moon-like crystal eyes, she shook her head and said, "It's too late."

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other. A muscular man with an evil spirit lingering all over him ran towards him.

The visitor is Xie Guozhong from Bureau X.

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

Before, they all thought that it would be like the ones they had dealt with countless times before, just some small shrimps contaminated by the belief in ancient relics.

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

However, they did not expect that this time they would pursue the Thunder Fortress camp. The wanted criminals from the Silver Moon Sect, armed with the Weeping Angels and the Undead Natural Disaster, almost did not cause them serious losses.

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

Faith is immortal and gods are immortal.

Xie Guozhong had a vague feeling that these guys might have mastered the key to reviving the old gods.

The Old World does have great opportunities, but it also gives these old believers great help.

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

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"."

The fighting coming from the direction of the camp was very fierce.

Xie Guozhong went back to kill him.

Ji Xun and the others are no longer running around in the dangerous undead shady scene.

The five of them were waiting where they were.

Xie Guozhong has extraordinary combat power, and he also carries with him a number of pieces of equipment aimed at the old believers. The people of the Silver Moon Sect may not be able to benefit without the killer move of Angel.

The facts were just as they expected.

Not long after the battle, the dark aura of the dead around them gradually dissipated.

The vision gradually becomes clearer.

The outline of the illuminated camp also appeared in view.

However, looking at it now, the steel-made mechanical camp was now in devastation.

The city wall made of thick steel plates and rivets was full of energy-damaged gaps, and the buildings in the camp were also completely destroyed.

The silver moon in the sky has disappeared.

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

Now that the old believers have retreated, there is no need to run around.

Ji Xun and the other five returned to the dilapidated camp.

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

Assistant Awen walked over, looked around, and asked: "Captain? Where are those old believers?"

Xie Guozhong said lightly: "Run away."

Said, He exhaled a breath of smoke and said again: "The old believers of the Silver Moon Sect have become a phenomenon, and the pollution of faith is worse than we expected. This time when I go back to the bureau, I will write a more detailed report. I hope it will attract the attention of the higher-ups. "

"Yes, Captain."

As he said this, the mushroom head on the side also took out his notebook and began to write a report carefully.

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

Ji Xun also looked at the camp, and strangely there was not a single body.

It’s like the ebb of the sea water takes away the fish and shrimps.

The black tide of the undead receded, taking the corpses with it.

The huge camp was empty, making people feel gloomy.

If you didn't witness what happened with your own eyes, no one would believe it. Not long ago, there were tens of thousands of living people in the ruins in front of you, and it was very lively.

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

He was not polite at all, he quietly rummaged through the ruins, found something, and muttered from time to time: "Oh, I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich~"

This wretched and greedy man From head to toe, he didn't look like the mysterious master before.

But the more this happened, the more mysterious Ji Xun felt when looking at the old man.

It gives people the feeling of seeing a mysterious catastrophic thing that cannot be understood.

Without thinking much, Xie Guozhong suddenly heard a shout not far away: "Old man Xu, come over for a drink?"

Ji Xun looked over, Xie Guozhong didn't know where he came from He found two barrels of unbroken beer and greeted them with a smile.

He seems to be in a good state of mind, and there is no trace of the depression and deepness on his face just now. At this moment, there is only a hearty and heroic smile.

When Old Man Xu heard that there was wine to drink, he ran over and said, "Okay."

As he said that, Xie Guozhong did not forget to greet Ji Xun: "Brother, would you like to have a drink too?"

"Okay."

Ji Xun listened to the greeting and thought for a moment. Also walked over.

Together with the two assistants, the six people who had fled together sat at 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 had the identity of an "assassin".

But the situation now is a little more subtle, because he has an [Angel] in his hand.

If the other party is really malicious and wants to leave, he may not be able to.

But apparently not.

And Xie Guozhong left a very good impression on him.

Refreshing, heroic and upright.

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

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

The cross of light and darkness soaked in 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.

Maybe it was too heavy, so I left it behind when I escaped.

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

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

The six of them sat down, poured wine, got some dried meat and other food, and started chatting on the ruins.

It can be considered that we have shared the hardships together, and the few of them don't seem as angry as before.

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

"You saved me once back then. In a different dimension. The secret method of hiding your head in your crotch was still taught to me by You. "

"Have you remembered what you were looking for? Maybe I can be of some help now."

"Forgot it all?"

"."

Now the situation is no longer critical, and the few of them can talk about unimportant things.

Xie Guozhong originally wanted to catch up with Old Man Xu.

Several people nearby were also curious about their relationship.

However, during this chat, I realized that Old Man Xu had forgotten everything.

The old man seems to have very severe senile amnesia, and has almost forgotten all the memories that lasted more than a year.

Through the conversation between the two, Ji Xun also understood why Old Man Xu was running around in different dimensions.

Not for treasure hunting, nor for life.

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 “thing” he was looking for.

Just knowing is a very important thing.

He was looking for Xie Guozhong when he met him twenty years ago.

Still looking for it now.

It seems that something very important has been forgotten for a long time, and he wants to find it back.

Not only did he forget Xie Guozhong, he even forgot his own name.

But I have not forgotten that I am looking for something that is important to me.

He doesn’t even remember his previous ability to draw incantations with his bare hands.

Rather, it is more like a 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 rather than the wine glass.

For many things, the boy named "Che Er" beside him helped him recall them.

The boy is an orphan that Old Man Xu met in Innocence City.

The old man was lonely, and the young man didn't mind it, so he became a little follower.

It also became his "notepad".

Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard Old Man Xu’s story, but also felt a little sad.

Mostly Xie Guozhong and Old Man Xu were chatting, and the others didn't say much.

Ji Xun also sat in the corner.

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

He didn't feel the pressure of a master at all, and grinned kindly: "What do you call brothers?"

"Ji Xun."

Ji Xun didn't hide it either. .

Xie Guozhong listened and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Ji Xun is very powerful. The last time we met in Innocence City, I knew that you were definitely not a human being. Now that I see it, I really didn't make a mistake."< br>
There is no mention of assassination in this sentence, but it obviously refers to assassination.

After all, the war mode destroyed three hundred beasts, so it must be a difficult plot.

But you still survived, this is your real skill.

Ji Xun was also a little surprised that the official did not ask about the details of the assassination but cared about it.

But he shook his head after hearing 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 at this table, he doesn't dare to make mistakes.

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

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

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

At this time, he asked: "I'm just curious, if you are not from the Thirteen Kamen Riders, which company do you work for?"

After all, you are an official, and many things still need to be investigated.

Ji Xundao: "I don't work for anyone. I am a lone hunter."

"A lone hunter?"

Listening to this, Xie Guozhong glanced at him more , 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 techniques, martial arts, equipment, etc.

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

Hearing this, Xie Guozhong became interested and asked: "Brother Ji Xun, are you interested in joining our 'Federal Bureau X'? I am very optimistic about you. If you are really interested, I can As your recommender, the entry procedures will be simplified."

"This" Ji Xun was also surprised when he heard this.

This person doesn't care at all about his assassination of a high-ranking noble?

Being able to join Bureau

For civilians, this is a huge opportunity.

But Ji Xun couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

He likes this world simply because its mystery, danger, and excitement can make his soul feel alive.

Rather than looking for a stable job.

He thought that the other party invited him, maybe because of the "angel"?

The two assistants on the side couldn't hide their surprise, and they were very confused as to why their captain would invite a stranger. .

You must know that the recruitment threshold for Bureau X is very high.

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

It's like the two of them.

The first is to ensure the origins of the bureau personnel.

The second is strength.

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

It can be said that those who graduate from the Federal College may not necessarily become high-level spell card masters;

However, more than 80% of the current high-level spell card masters have studied in the Federal Academy.

Both of them did not expect that their captain would be so keen on meeting a lone hunter in a place like Innocence City?

“I may want to consider this.”

Ji Xun did not refuse directly.

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

"Yes. Think about it carefully. When I was young, I also felt that I would be restrained, but in fact the game is quite good."

Xie Guozhong smiled heartily and expressed his understanding.

His words were sincere and the invitation was not oppressive. He was really like a friend.

Thinking about it, Ji Xun did not hide it, and said his purpose: "Before this, if possible, can you give me the [Light and Dark Cross]? Or exchange it?" I think I probably need this thing."

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

In fact, the other party had already guessed that he was interested in that thing.

I wanted to buy it, but obviously the other party was 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, exchange it.

Although the angel was in the holy nail, Ji Xun did not dare to say that it was his own.

But the holy nail is undoubtedly his own.

Currently, it seems that the cross is worth more than an uncontrollable angel.

"This"

When Xie Guozhong heard this, his decisive character also showed a rare expression of embarrassment.

He did not know that Ji Xun wanted the cross for the divine blood on it, he only thought it was for the angel sealed in the holy nail.

But in fact, in inviting Ji Xun, apart from really thinking that he is very suitable for the chaotic order of "outlaw gangsters", Xicai is just one of them.

There is another important reason.

That is the containment procedure of Bureau X.

You must know that [Weeping Angels], a taboo existence that can cause large-scale death, is the key target of their X Bureau to contain.

But now the cause and effect of that angel is on Ji Xun. If he rashly brings the Holy Nail, big problems may arise.

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

But it is definitely not right to take him away.

So the best choice is to let him join Bureau X.

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

Xie Guozhong said: "This matter involves too much, and it is difficult for me to make a decision."

Ji Xun frowned when he looked at him, obviously knowing that this matter was very difficult.

It is not a matter of relic cross.

But 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.

Containing it, taking it away, and sealing it in the headquarters warehouse is the most reasonable choice.

Xie Guozhong is in trouble, which shows that he has never thought of forcing himself.

With his strength, it is absolutely possible.

Ji Xun is also very self-aware and does not feel that he has the ability to control such a dangerous existence.

I thought he would refuse,

Thinking of bartering.

But without thinking, this guy suddenly changed the topic and seemed to suddenly think of a good idea: "How about this. Let's take a gamble. Roll the dice and bet on the big or small. If you win, you will get the cross. I’ll give it to you. If I win, I’ll take it away. By the way, would you like to come with me to the bureau and then consider whether to join?”

When Ji Xun heard this, He squinted his eyes slightly and responded immediately: "Okay!"

He had no interest in ordinary gambling.

But he was also very interested in this bet where he always felt that winning or losing would be related to his future destiny.

Xie Guozhong also smiled cheerfully after hearing this, "Okay!"

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

But as soon as these words came out, the assistant Awen's expression changed and she reminded anxiously: "Captain!"

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

But that was another time.

Just give him the body of "Epidemic Doctor" Heisen with just one sentence last time.

How could such a big problem as an angel be taken away by someone who didn’t know the details?

Xie Guozhong smiled and waved his hand, indicating to the assistant not to speak.

He took out three dice from somewhere and tapped them lightly on the table.

It seemed to be just a small movement before rolling the dice, and no one at the table noticed anything unusual.

But Old Man Xu seemed to notice something and raised his eyebrows to take another glance.

He saw the laws of order flowing on the dice.

But he didn’t say anything.

Ji Xun naturally didn't see anything so profound, but he vaguely sensed something as if fate was beating.

Xie Guozhong rolled the dice, which turned over on the table.

Several people's eyes were fixed on the three dice.

Finally settled on the points of "3, 4, 5".

Not too small, but not big either.

Xie Guozhong looked at the points he threw, glanced at his brows, and muttered: "You're pretty lucky."

As he said that, he glanced at Ji Xun and said, "It's your turn. ”

Ji Xun didn't have much to think about and picked up three dice.

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

There is a stronger feeling than when I bet my life on a dog in 407.

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

He suddenly grinned.

When Xie Guozhong on the opposite side saw this scene, he seemed to notice something, and 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 stunned.

The two young assistants blinked, a little unbelievable.

If it wasn't cheating, wouldn't this be great luck?

Even Old Man Xu showed doubts in his eyes.

Ji Xun looked at it and felt nothing in his heart, as if he was bound to win.

Xie Guozhong looked at the numbers and narrowed his eyes slightly.

But after a moment, he felt relieved and smiled heartily, "Okay. You win, the things are yours!"

If it were other points, he would still have some doubts about whether his decision was correct.

But 666, that is to say, there is no better choice than this.

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

As he said that, Xie Guozhong raised his glass again: "Drink!"

Ji Xun also smiled, "Thank you."

The two of them rolled dice and completed a bet that would scare people to death.

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

The mushroom head on the side also had a bitter look on his face and asked: "Captain, how should I write this report?"

Xie Guozhong took a sip and said with a disapproving look on his face: " How to write what? The people of the Silver Moon Sect have escaped, and the whereabouts of the cross and the angel are unknown. "

Mushroom Head: "Oh."


And while Ji Xun and the others were drinking in the camp.

An armored steam train also rushed 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 tight barrier protection, a man and a woman were sitting here.

No guards were present.

A lonely man and a widow.

The man is wearing a straight gray military uniform and has his signature blond hair. He is handsome and steady. But there is also a highly recognizable scar on his left eye, which gives people the oppressive feeling of an iron-blooded soldier.

Four general stars shine brightly on the shoulders of the military uniform.

This is none other than Carlo, the youngest four-star general in the Federation and the most powerful figure in the Lionheart family, the "Golden Lion"!

This person also has another identity, that is, the second uncle of Young Master Kahn who was just assassinated.

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

The woman is similar in age to Carlo, but there is no trace of time on her face. Instead, she has a noble air, and her brows give people a sense of pride and pride of having been in a high position for a long time.

“The five major federal parliamentarian families are still discussing how to divide the cake of the Old Continent. The conservatives even suggested the complete destruction of Innocence City and cutting off the link channels of the Old Continent. Those ignorant politicians are really whimsical. Ah."

"The impact of the Old Continent is too great. No one can guarantee what will be found in this miracle continent. Those in the Council have been in high positions and have enjoyed privileges for too long. They are afraid that someone can shake it. It’s normal for them to not want to change the current situation given the power they already have.”

“We’ll already have a firm foothold in the Old Continent once those greedy politicians negotiate.”

"General Carlo. Don't forget what you promised me when the time comes."

"Of course, Lady Catherine. You have the most complete information on the Old Continent, and our Lionheart family has the strongest military in the Federation. Our cooperation will definitely be very pleasant.”

“.”

The two of them had a great time talking and got the results they wanted.

Finally, the woman in the red dress also stood 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 did not dare to look down upon the woman in front of him. He stood up and held her hand in a gentlemanly manner.

The woman in the red dress smiled charmingly, "Then I won't disturb the general's rest. We should be arriving at Thunder Fortress soon. I'll go back and change clothes."

Carlo nodded and greeted: "Come here, take the lady back."

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

After everyone left, an old man in a black tuxedo walked in, holding a telegram: "General, I just got the telegram that the 17th Legion of the Beast Legion has set off and is on its way. Innocence City. We’ll be there in five days.”

When Carlo heard this, he sneered: "Haha, my good-for-nothing nephew has done a great favor to the family."

The old man is Carlo's most trusted aide, and he also planned this matter. Said: "Yes. There is no assassination. If the Beast Legion army wants to enter Innocence City, the federal congressmen will definitely stop it. The Cao family, who is still the nominal governor of Innocence City, will definitely be the first to oppose it."

Carlo said: "Has everything been taken care of?"

The old man said: "Yes, General. Even if someone does investigate, the person with the bounty on the black market is Reko from the Iron Hands Legion. After all, Master Kahn just tortured and killed his only daughter. It has nothing to do with us. Your trip was arranged months ago, and no one will doubt your motive for coming."

Carlo thought there was nothing missing, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well. After the Legion moves in, deal with the major gangs in Innocence City as soon as possible. Control the Nugget Pier as soon as possible, recruit hunters, and prepare for large-scale development of the Old Continent. ”

"Yes."

The old man nodded, then gestured to the outside of the carriage: "And that lady?"

Hearing this, Carlo's eyes flashed sharply, and he shook his head and said: "Those remnants of the old era are too naive. Today's Dragon City is no longer the Supreme Royal Court, and the strength of the major families in the federation is much stronger than that of the Oran Dynasty. How can they be restored successfully? But? They are still of use value for the time being, so they can continue to cooperate temporarily according to those conditions, and the infiltration of the special agent team must also be stepped up."

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