Chapter 196 He wants to be a man
Rongxia City Spring Festival is held once a year.

The enthusiasm of the local people seems to have never faded away. They are used to having such two days of rest or opportunities to make money in a busy year.

But some people are happy, and naturally some people don't care.

For those who are idle on weekdays, this kind of life can only be regarded as an adjustment, and when they are busy, even at this time, they still have to do their best.
In the religious area of ​​Rongxia City.

Suzi stood at the street entrance, looking at the bluestone slabs stretching forward under her feet, and some tender grass tips could be vaguely seen in the gaps, which complemented the dark stone bricks.

On the left is a river in the religious area. The flow is not fast, and there are many dead branches and leaves scattered on it. Usually, people will come by boat to pick up these things every few days. Now it is suspended due to the spring festival for nearly two days. , which makes the surface of the river a little messy.

I don't think it is dirty, after all, it is something that grows naturally, life and death are drifting, let nature take its course.

Suzi stepped onto a small arch bridge, looking at the quietly flowing river, the memories of the past could not stop appearing in her mind.

Not far from the arch bridge, there was a walking monk sitting cross-legged on the side of the road, with the bamboo hat on his head pressed very low to block the sun, as if he was taking a rest. Some crude Zen sticks were leaning against the wall, with some copper rings attached to them , collide with each other when the wind blows.

There is always a sense of incompatibility between the crisp sound and the excitement of the spring festival parade in the distance.

"Suzi, we have entered the position. You are in charge of delaying the time. We will find a way to rescue your friend. Remember that your safety is the most important thing. Once there is danger, you must evacuate as soon as possible!"

In a dilapidated residential building nearby, Chen Ying, the shopkeeper of Xiangfeng Restaurant, now put on a set of strong clothes for easy movement, with two short knives hanging from his waist.

Behind him, Nie Qingzhu and the others were also fully armed.

"I see."

After receiving the message, Suzi turned and walked to the other side of the arch bridge. The problem of the neck position had been repaired urgently by the organization yesterday. It was only a mechanical damage, and the internal data was still normal, so the repair was not difficult.

Although the strengthening and transformation of the body has not yet started, there is no problem in terms of movement.

The "Missing Notice" that appeared on Rongxia City's public screen before was indeed looking for someone, but it was not the young man in the photo, but Suzi who had successfully escaped from danger and was protected.

It is nothing more than wanting to use him to let Suzi appear on his own initiative.

This method is actually a bit nonsense, after all, Suzi has nothing to do with that person strictly speaking.

She really didn't care about the other party's life or death, but no one knew, let alone blamed her.

But who made Suzi a good person?

This is not a joke, but a fact.

From Suzi's point of view, the other party was arrested because of her, so she bears the unshirkable responsibility, so even if she knew it was a trap, she would still come.

Those people obviously ate this to death.

What's more, they won't lose money.

It would be best if Suzi could come. Even if she really didn't show up, she would just find a place to dispose of the hostages at that time, and it would only cost one bullet.

At least that's how it seems to them.

Going down from the arch bridge is an alley, passing through the old arch with wooden beams and rafters on the top, Suzi’s right hand swings much less, and the palm of his hand brushes the handle of the gun hanging on the back waist intentionally or unintentionally. This is a temporary firearm , but it doesn't take much time for her to get used to it.

Perhaps it is because there are many tall buildings around, and the location here is a bit special, the sunlight did not splash here, but a few beams fell miserly.

There are various kinds of paper advertisements overlapping on the walls. Due to the perennially backlit and damp ground and the simple ditches used for drainage in the alley, some dark green moss grows in many places on both sides, which is always subconsciously irritating. It feels dirty and gloomy.

After walking a few steps, a person wearing a ghost mask and holding various weapons appeared behind the corner ahead and at the arch behind Suzi.

"Miss Suzi really has self-awareness, and she is a person who values ​​feelings. I read correctly, you are good, very good!"

At the other end of the alley, a man wearing a mask made of gold and wearing a bright yellow robe led a group of black-clothed men slowly approaching. On his slender and tender right thumb, there was a translucent emerald ring on his index finger. Push down to spin.

"Suzi, I."

The young man was about to speak, but the burly man in a sleeveless leather jacket next to him just cut him with a knife on the back of his neck.

A hostage is a hostage, how can there be so much nonsense for him to talk about.

This is not filming a TV series, and we have to come up with some touching scenes of "life and death".

"What we want is very simple. It is nothing more than the "Secret Scripture of the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" in your mind. Your father once kept volume [-], in which there is the Zhengyijiang Shengwei alliance that communicates the supreme chaos. My people and followers of "Zero" found only a place of ashes. At that time, I thought that volume [-] had been lost so far, and I regretted it for a long time. I didn't expect you, a lady who is full of prosthetic body, but It’s really easy for me to find.”

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, as if preparing his own words, his body leaned forward slightly, as if he couldn't wait, and then said,

"I mentioned my request during the call. I want volume seven, it's that simple, I know it's in your head, and I know you're perfectly capable of reproducing it, otherwise your father wouldn't have made it Burn it down, give it to me, you and him, you can leave safely Don't worry, I have never been a person who likes to fight and kill, I like trading, and I respect the rules of trading. When I get something, I can't think of what I have. Your reasons must be removed."

"I thought it was 'zero'. What do you want volume seven for? It's not something you can read at all."

His eyes turned around, but he didn't see the 'Zero' person. He glanced up, and there were several figures flashing past above.

"Do you have to use it yourself when you have a treasure? There is no reason for this kind of coercion. Of course I know that this is what 'Zero' has been looking for. In fact, if they don't find it, why do I spend so much effort on it? Miss Suzi, stop wasting your time and mine, Ge Hu?"

As he spoke, he turned his body and nodded slightly, and the person next to him immediately drew a pistol from his waist, opened the safety and aimed it at the young man's head on the ground.

The sound of bullets being loaded was harsh in the alley.

Naturally, there was a reason for choosing to send out the notice of missing persons on the day of the Spring Festival. Recently, "Zero" has been acting very secretly, and his spies no longer report back as usual, and this just shows that they are planning something. What.

That being the case, the master is busy and doesn't want his "dog" to get involved, so he will take the opportunity to do some private affairs.

In fact, he is not interested in such ghosts and ghosts at all, all he wants is the second volume of the "Secret Scripture of the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" in the hands of "Zero".

After finally finding a chance to talk about freedom with the man who holds this collar around his neck, he wants to try it anyway.

Can be a human, who wants to be a dog?

What's more, in his opinion, if he gets the Prolonged Life Record, he will become the one who is qualified to "raise a dog".

Therefore, for the scroll in Suzi's hand, he is bound to win it!
"Right here, do you have the means to check?"

He took out a half-palm-sized black square from his pocket, raised his hand and threw it over.

"You don't have to worry about that, me."

The thing that he has been thinking about day and night is finally in his hands. Even he couldn't bear to take a step forward and reached out to pick it up, but the next second he realized that the USB drive was too big?

On the other side, Suzi has already started wearing a pair of glasses in the shape of a square box, the gun is already in hand, her knees are slightly bent, and she turns directly to meet the people behind her.

The electronic interference signal has already been sent out, leaving a holographic virtual image on the spot to confuse the enemy, and the guns in their hands are fired again and again, regardless of the situation behind them.

At the same time, behind Suzi, a square box flew in the air, and a dazzling glare suddenly burst out!
Everyone who had previously regarded this thing as carrying the volume seven of "The Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" stared at it with wide eyes, and the immediate reaction was naturally to close their eyes.

But that's not all. The eyes of the brawny man in the team named "Ge Hu" wearing a sleeveless leather jacket have already been mechanically modified, and the strong light can't affect him.

It was just the first moment when the chaos broke out. As a subordinate, of course he had to take care of his leader first, so the gun in his hand naturally turned away.

As a result, several dark objects fell from the sky above the alley.

"Grenade!!!"

I don't know who yelled. For these well-trained gangsters, when they heard this sound and saw something falling from their heads, their first reaction was naturally to stay away from the center of the explosion. Ge Hu also did the same. Struggle on your shoulders, take a few confidants, take a few steps out and run to the other end of the alley.

But he never heard the explosion
Looking back, I only saw a few masked men holding weapons and taking advantage of the chaos to pick up the hostages they had abandoned on the ground, and those dark things were constantly spraying bright yellow sparks upwards on the ground.

They are all common children's toys in Rongxia City!
"Ge Hu, I want them to die!"

He didn't expect that the police station where Suzi, who had been alone for a few days before, escaped last night, would have a group of helpers today.

When he was about to succeed, he was swayed by someone, and now he was in such a mess, how could he swallow this breath.

"You wait. No one will stay!"

Ge Hu took a step forward, and the mechanical boards of his left arms flicked away, and two sharp axes protruded from the inside, and his legs were raised suddenly, with a faint orange light shining.

Behind him, a few big men in black even took out injections from their pockets and stuck them into their necks.

Someone's face turned blue, his face narrowed, and a forked tongue froze in his mouth.

The sleeves of someone's arms burst, and jagged sharp blades protruded from the skin on the outside.

　Recommend my friends' "Predatory Starry Sky" and "The Two Ends of the World", the former is sci-fi style, and the latter has Cthulhu elements, both are quite interesting, hehehe~
