Chapter 68 The situation suddenly changes
There will also be a regular gladiatorial fight in the arena at night.
That’s how it was originally.
When the time for regular gladiatorial combat has come, the arena is filled with spectators, but the gladiators have not yet been brought onto the stage by security omnics.
Qin Xia had a bad feeling.
Outside the cave gate, the sound of heavy footsteps reached everyone's ears. Then the gate opened, and a man in gorgeous clothes stepped into the cave and saluted everyone.
"Good evening everyone, I am the new person in charge." The man saluted and glanced at all the gladiators, "All of you are participating in today's gladiator, except this wizard and Angron."
Hearing this, the gladiators all looked at Qin Xia.
Qin Xia thought for a moment and nodded silently.
Out of compliance with the principle of sword edge, all the gladiators walked out of the cave, except Angron and Qin Xia.
"Didn't the person in charge just change?" Qin Xia looked up and down at another new person in charge, "Is it possible that the owners of the arena have been changed this time?"
"..." The new person in charge Without saying a word, the man turned around in a dignified manner, walked to the gate and made a gesture of invitation.
The security omnic entered the cave, stood behind Qin Xia and Angron, and raised the electric baton to drive them away.
Qin Xia had already made a plan from the moment he signaled the gladiators to leave the cave. Now he naturally acted according to the plan and stepped forward out of the cave.
When they came to the fork, a team of security omnics escorted Angron to another place.
Another team of security omnics followed the new person in charge to the office of the arena.
While passing by a fork in the road, someone suddenly appeared and put a collar on Qin Xia that was used to suppress psychic energy at an alarming speed.
When he saw the light on the collar light up, the new person in charge was no longer serious, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to lead the way.
“Do you think this thing is useful to me?” Qin Xia tapped the collar around her neck.
"Of course it works." The new person in charge nodded, "My master is a wizard, so I know the source of your power very well, and this collar will cut off your connection with the source of your power, so be wise. , don’t struggle, follow me.”
The new person in charge continues to lead the way.
Qin Xia put her hand on the collar.
He recalled that he had seen the principle of this collar, and indeed, as the new person in charge said, it was to cut off the connection between psykers and the subspace.
This is an ancient technology, estimated to be the product of greedy and in-depth research on subspace technology during the peak period of the human race.
But the problem is that Qin Xia's spiritual energy does come from subspace, but when he uses it, he does not extract spiritual energy from subspace.
Seeing the security intelligent machines and the automatic machine guns above the corridor, Qin Xia already had a battle plan.
Here he is the only one facing the enemy, and there is no need to consider whether others will be accidentally injured in the battle, so it is very simple.
When the group of people reached another fork in the road with a large space, Qin Xia felt that the time had come, and the hand holding the collar gradually tightened.
But then the person in charge opened the door of the office and saw the people sitting inside. Qin Xia's hand on the collar relaxed.
“Welcome.” Saroo put his legs on the desk, “The Mad King’s lackey.”
The office door is closed.
The new person in charge and the security omnic are waiting outside the door.
These servants do not feel threatened by a wizard wearing a collar. Even if the wizard is too strong and tall, it doesn't matter. Salo's spiritual power can solve everything.
"As I expected, you attacked that madman." Qin Xia looked at the corner of the office.
The body of the previous person in charge was lying there, with only a skin remaining. Ice crystals were attached to the body, which was obviously caused by psychic energy.
"That lunatic? I thought you would call Tarke master." Salo said lightly, "I broke his neck, hundreds of meters away, just like you took the sons of those bastard brothers. The way to kill is the same."
Saro stood up and walked to the window of the office.
Outside is the fighting area of the arena.
Amid the cheers of the audience, the gladiators were blocked by a large number of guards.
The two sides did not start a war, but it was already obvious who would win.
Salo turned his back to Qin Xia.
Qin Xia looked down upon Salo's back.
“We are all wizards, and we all have the ability to be hated.”
“We are bound by fate, and we should not be hostile to each other, but you sided with that madman. . "He promised to make weapons for you gladiators, but he can't fulfill this promise. You can't escape from the arena without weapons and equipment."
Facing the hot evening wind, Salo spoke softly.
He looked very relaxed.
Under that relaxed appearance, hidden is the ultimate excitement and excitement.
"I actually didn't want to kill him." Salo stretched out his hand, which was the wine glass used by Tarke. "He was my best friend, my best friend...until he killed him for a slave. My family, I can't accept it, so I decided to stand against Tarke."
"The Mad King's lackeys will be purged."
"Including you."
Saro put down his wine glass and stared into the arena.
“You will be killed.”
“Then the man named Angron, he will be nailed with the Butcher’s Nails, all because you helped the mad king kill the most powerful person in the world. The noble and most elegant good people.”
Hearing this, Qin Xia felt mixed emotions.
He didn't expect that his actions would lead to Angron being nailed with the Butcher's Nail in advance.
I don’t know if Tarke’s murder is related to me on a butterfly effect level.
Saro didn't know what Qin Xia was thinking. He continued, as if to persuade him to stay: "Of course, if you repent..."
Bang——
Salo's head exploded, and an eyeball shot out in front of Qin Xia, but was blocked by the psychic barrier.
Seeing the whole room turn blood red, Qin Xia raised her hand and put it on the collar expressionlessly.
Ice condensed on the collar, and then Qin Xia knocked lightly and the collar shattered.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world, right?" Qin Xia looked at Salo's back.
The headless corpse of this wizard nobleman leaned against the window sill.
Qin Xia estimated that even after Salo died, he would not be able to figure out how he was shot in the head by a wizard wearing a collar using psychic energy.
"It seems that we can't wait for weapons and equipment, so we can only fight out by force." Qin Xia murmured to himself, as if making up his mind.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Qin Xia opened the door of the office.
The new person in charge who was standing outside the door heard the sound of the door opening. When he turned to go in and clean up Qin Xia's body, he saw Qin Xia standing in front of him, and his master turned into a headless corpse.
"You..."
Just as the new person in charge was about to open his mouth, Qin Xia smashed his head with a punch and fell to the ground.
The security omnics detected the attack and immediately prepared for battle.
But one of the security omnics stood at the back of its kind, and the large-caliber machine gun integrated on its chest smashed its head and the processor inside into pieces in a few breaths.
This security omni-machine is the omni-machine with a modified processor implanted by Qin Xia.
"Plans always fail to keep up with changes, especially now that there is Tzeentch in the subspace." Qin Xia spoke to the security omnic as if it were a living person.
The omnic didn't react at all. It was only designed to be a producer. It was already difficult for people to use it for security, let alone communicate with humans.
Qin Xia didn't expect the omnic to respond, so she turned to look out the window of the office behind her.
Outside the arena, further away, is Desia City.
The fire was soaring into the sky, and from time to time there were flashes of explosive fire.
Obviously Salo did not completely kill Tarke.
But in any case, it is absolutely wishful thinking to expect Tarke to send weapons and equipment under such circumstances.
This all happened too suddenly.
Although Qin Xia had long expected that something would happen to Tarke, he did not expect that it would happen so quickly that he would not even have time to send weapons and equipment, and that Salo would control the arena at an alarming speed.
Every plan is born to be defeated by change and then abandoned.
But fortunately, Qin Xia had already made preparations. Although it was not sufficient, at least it was not such that he would be caught off guard and helpless in such an unexpected situation.
In the cave where the gladiators lived, there were also various weapons that Qin Xia had obtained before. Although they were few in number, they were useful.
