Haidu: Top of the Tower

Chapter 28 Foul Milady No Foul
No matter how many obstacles she smashed, Milady never seemed to lack higher and more dangerous rocks on her way forward.

The person who stopped her this time didn't seem to be threatening at all.

"... Yugan?"

Milady looked at the young girl's face, and the contestant's introduction came to mind. "Are you going to stop me from going out?"

The mixed-race girl who seemed to be half of Chang'an blood nodded upon hearing this.

She is not at all similar to Xiyado, and she is not from the same family at all: she has black hair and skin, like the white walls and black tiles of Chang'an; no matter her facial features or expression, they are all light and gentle, as desolate as still water.

Even if the question was asked by the enemy, because the answer was indeed like this, she nodded naturally, without any hint of threat.

Siyado should have deliberately left Yugan to stop her; Yugan looks so peaceful, but in fact he is so troublesome—especially when cooperating with the machine falcon on her shoulder.She flicks and gropes, her movements are smooth and flowing; the mechanism falcon dives and grabs, every move is extremely tricky.The cooperation of the two forced Milady to describe it as a mess, and there were many dangers, but there was no danger of fouling.

It was strange to say; regardless of its material or weight, Milady only needed to glance at it to know that the machine falcon was an excellent target, and it stands to reason that it would definitely respond to the cane command.However, no matter how she tried, Ji Falcon never responded to the "trick of fate".

Is there something wrong with the cane?Was broken by Luo Geng?
If the Mechanism Falcon cannot be stopped, then the "teasing of fate" will be suppressed by it; no matter what Milady summons and orders, it may be interrupted by its interference.

"It should be one of the military agencies issued by Haidu..." She didn't dare to take it lightly, staring closely at one person and one machine, and said, "But its performance seems to be different."

Yugan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Milady didn't move, and Yugan didn't move either, but she wasn't in a hurry, but Milady couldn't afford to delay.It seems that the members of the Gaota family have gone to hand over the score cards. When they come back, won't they be in a situation ten times more difficult than before?

Someone in the distance yelled in a low voice: "Who hasn't handed in the sign? We all put it together. It's useless for people to keep it, and it's bad to keep the sign!"

Some people in the auditorium seemed to hear it, and there was a booing immediately; the person still knew to avoid people, and his voice suddenly became lower and could not be heard.

It seems that they intend to let all the score cards leave the field, leaving her alone, and slowly grinding to the end.

After the lessons of the Mengsheng people, the others are gathering the redundant brands of each family together, so that as many people as possible can qualify; Signs don't make sense either.

Under Siyado—no, under the will of the committee, everyone is cutting off Milady's way, trying to drive her into a desperate situation together.

The anger had not yet formed in her heart, but it suddenly made Milady tremble.

They haven't realized that they have revealed a perfect way out before their eyes.

"You want to stop me," Milady smiled and challenged Yu Gan intentionally, "Just try."

When Milady rushed towards the tavern, Yugan and the Falcon attacked her from left to right at the same time.

She had been prepared for a long time, listened to the sound of the wind, and raised her cane with all her strength, just hitting the mechanism falcon, knocking the delicate and heavy mechanism heavily; when Yugan manipulated it to stabilize her body again, Milady turned around , bypassing Li Wei who suddenly jumped out from nowhere—she was so light and fast that Li Wei almost collided with the organ falcon.

The tavern leaned against the wall of the hall, and consisted of only a few seats and a bar; Milady jumped over the bar and fell to the ground, not daring to delay, and immediately took out the hollow muff.Almost at the same time, a shadow suddenly fell from the sky, with long wings stretched out and bright claws.

At that moment, she couldn't see anything clearly; when people were in crisis and upheaval, her vision seemed to be broken into pieces.Milady could only grit her teeth and greet the muff, and by feeling, pierced the sharp beam of particles spit out from the muff into the belly of the organ falcon.

The line seemed to be burnt light blue, which suddenly leaked into the air.

It was as faint as an illusion at the edge of the peripheral vision, but it brought up a distant dream that Milady had never recalled for a long time: the last time she saw this kind of blue, smelled this kind of burning gas, was the last time she walked in the polluted crystal mountain when.

At that time, Itami was still alive.

Even in such a situation, Milady was in a daze.

I don't know when, this smell has been deeply entangled with my mother, it seems that if this smell is there, my mother is still there.

... She understood why the machine falcon did not respond to the "trick of fate".

Taking advantage of the falcon's tilt in the air, Milady kicked it and sent it flying upside down.The mechanism falcon was made tightly and firmly, and in addition to the lack of contact time, the slit she managed to cut with the muff was only as thin as a strand of hair, making it impossible to see the strangeness inside—after all, it is such a taboo thing, The blue was concealed almost seamlessly, and only a little bit of clues were leaked at the first impact, and it happened to meet Milady who was so familiar with crystals and so sensitive.

Yugan rushed into the tavern, and before she could make a move, Milady fixed her in place with a few words: "Pollution crystal?"

The expression on the black-haired girl's face twisted, and the ripples quickly dissipated. "what?"

"If I open it completely, I should find a mechanism building module made of pollution crystals, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yu Gan called back the mechanism falcon, frowned, glanced at its body, and closed it.

Li Wei and Nawa also pressed forward to the tavern at this time; but before they got close, Yu Gan suddenly turned around and ordered: "Stop. Let me take care of her, you just wait."

This is... don't want them to hear about the pollution crystal?
Milady turned her head and glanced, and found that from where she was standing at this time, she could just see Siyado leaning slightly on the second floor.

No... not right.

She looked away, looked at Yu Gan and murmured, "I know...it wasn't you who did this. You weren't the only one."

Although Haidu is surrounded by pollution crystals, it is difficult for individuals to process and refine them; let alone bringing pollution crystals into the central area of ​​Haidu is already a violation of the law. Ten laws.

"Is it the family's intention to use pollution crystals to make military mechanisms?"

Yugan stood upright, although his expression remained motionless, there seemed to be some shadows flashing across the water.

Milady almost laughed.

These political families in Haidu... On the one hand, they want people to pay for their lives to prevent the pollution crystals from invading Haidu;

If Milady can do it, she really hopes to strip off the sham smiles of every political family in Haidu and throw them far into the sea, even the judicial family——Siyado is right, she has no Bending obedience to power and class—even Milady wants to tear apart the family of judges with both hands.

Wait, the trial family?
Milady's mind lit up.

She felt that she was about to tremble, not anger, not fear, but joy.She has struggled to support the behemoth until now, only to finally find a flaw in it—it turns out that it is so simple.

Milady drew out her cane again and took a step forward.There was still a distance of one or two meters between the two, and Yu Gan remained motionless.

"Get out of the way," she said.

Yugan shook his head. "Cousin Xiyado's order, you are not allowed to qualify." She paused, and then said: "You guessed a lot, but you were wrong. However, you will never touch my organ again. I don't use it , can stop you."

Milady smiled. "As far as I know, because of my spoiler this year, the scores of the major families have decreased a lot, including your executioner family, right?" She said almost friendly, "Except for Siyado who has already qualified , only you have collected [-] points. The other two, if I read correctly, there should be only one sign left in total?"

"So what?" Yu Gan tilted his head, genuinely confused.

"Then, pardon my rudeness." Milady bowed slightly to her.

Before Yugan could react, her cane came to life, and it spread out rapidly one by one, wrapping the wind and breaking the air, and attacked Yugan straight.Milady didn't play tricks this time, and it wasn't for grabbing the score card; Yugan was caught off guard, and never thought that she would intentionally foul, and was hit in the face with a cane in the chest, fell a few steps, and her breath was cut off in the air. It's in the chest—the three score cards screamed at once.

not enough.

"Foul!" A staff member shouted in the distance. "The game is suspended, someone fouled!"

Milady turned a deaf ear to the warning sound, took a step forward, and before Yugan could stand still, the cane hit the opponent's lower abdomen again.When she went all out, her strength should not be underestimated. Yugan was hit repeatedly, and she fell to the ground after losing her footing. Milady had been waiting for this moment, and she stroked her waist like a falcon pouncing on her food. However, two score cards were taken away.

Yugan coughed and said, "You——you made a foul, and it's useless to take it away!"

"It's really useless, you forgot, I already have enough points to qualify." Milady smiled and finally stopped.A staff member was striding towards the tavern; Luo Geng didn't know where he went, Li Wei and Nawa couldn't believe that she would do such a stupid thing, they were stunned.

"You're definitely not stupid, think about it again," Milady said as if inspiring a child, "Did I really commit a foul?"

Yu Gan was stunned.

"If I really used force against you and took away your badge, then according to the rules, I will accept the 'immobility penalty' on the spot, and the two badges I snatched will also be taken back by the committee. But You look at our position...I'm protected by the bar and the wall, just need to defend. You've seen my game, do you think I can keep the card here?"

Milady smiled lightly.

"At that time, I still have three tokens, what about you? Now in the hall, everyone who should quit has quit, and there are almost no extra tokens. If you can't qualify, then there will only be one left for your executioner family to qualify. Siyado. After he entered the final sinking battle, who should he sink? Are the sinking targets brought by other families into the final battle enough?"

"You, you have already thought about it?" Yugan looked around the bar around him in disbelief.

"How is that possible. I would like to thank you all for coming up with this method." Milady sighed and said, "If I didn't make a foul, I would be very willing to go to the exit point with you and let you register to qualify...you You should also think more about your cousin."

When she finished speaking, the staff responsible for the referee also ran to the bar.

"You fouled, player Milady—"

Milady didn't look at him, but tilted her head towards Yugan.

"No!" Yugan quickly made up his mind, and raised his voice and said, "She didn't foul, it was me... I was tripped by the mechanism."

Everyone was stunned: the referee, Li Wei and Nawa outside the tavern, the audience watching this corner, and presumably Xiyado who was watching the game on the second floor.

"But she clearly uses a cane..." said the staff member.

"You read it wrong," Yu Gan said, "She saw that I was about to fall, so she stretched out her cane to hold me steady."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Wei couldn't restrain his anger, and shouted from a distance: "We can all see clearly that she attacked you, why did you cover it for her?"

He excels in ability and loyalty, but he doesn't seem to know anything about the struggle under the water; the executioner can help with a little help, but how can he help the Gaota family's future?
Different from him, even though Nawa surrounded the tavern faithfully, her eyes were still red at this moment, she didn't say a word of protest, and hugged her ribbon silently.

"If I say no, then there won't be," Yugan said stubbornly, "Is it you who knows, or me?"

Li Wei was speechless for a while, and stared at her blankly; he obviously didn't know what to do, but Luo Geng, who could make decisions, was not around.

What about Luo Gengren?

Milady had already been alerted, but she glanced back and forth several times, but there was no sign of Luo Geng at all, only the "Hui" shaped mechanism stood in the distance blankly, as if she had lost its owner and didn't know what to do.

Will there be another trap?
I don't know if it was because of Yugan's insistence or the status of the executioner's family, but the staff couldn't stand her, so they finally admitted that Milady didn't foul.

As soon as the game restarted, the two rushed out of the tavern one after another.

After she left the tavern, she originally had two choices: one was to join forces with the Gaota family to stop Milady; the other was to protect her from being taken away by the Gaota family—otherwise, Milady would be deprived of a plaque, Naturally, she would make up for it from the executioner's family—but, as soon as she left, Milady eliminated the first option.

"Yugan," cried Milady, "you hold them back, and I'll take the opportunity to snatch the sign!"

With the scene just now, the two Gaota family who were about to pounce on them stopped hurriedly.Even if they only paused for half a minute because of suspicion, it was enough for Milady; the strange thing was that she was almost close to the exit point, but Rogen was still nowhere to be seen.

The time to force Yugan to quit was very short, and Milady raised her chin at her; Yugan hesitated and glanced up at the second floor, then reluctantly put the family crest on the exit table, Say, "I'm quitting."

"A sign?" The staff member was also a little at a loss.

"No, three yuan." Now it's too late for Yugan to repent. Milady understands the principle of chasing after the poor, and throws the score card to her, saying: "She threatened me with words, so I voluntarily hand over the two A sign."

Yu Gan was busy hanging the sign on his belt, not forgetting to glance at her.

The staff member opened the notebook and hurriedly wrote down Yugan's information; Milady took the opportunity to glance down, but was stunned.

She never expected that she found Luo Geng——Luo Geng had successfully registered.

Of course, if you think about it rationally, it seems that his qualifying is the most reasonable choice: With the help of the executioner's family, even if he is not there, Li Wei and Nava can join hands with Yugan to stop Milady; He didn't register for a moment, and the three plaques on his body didn't really belong to him for a moment.Even if no one from the Gaota family qualify, they can still borrow two sinking targets from other families. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible - he just never expected that Yugan would be forced out of the line by himself first.

No amount of reasons, no amount of rationality, can conceal the true nature of the behavior.

Luo panicked even more.

Is it because Nava ran towards the exit point, which made him worry about the shadow of a snake?Or did he lose confidence in protecting the scoreboard after he successfully won the third one?

Where is he?Milady longed to see that pretty face.How anxious did he feel when he saw Yu Gan's registration and qualification?Would he turn to Tea Ross for help, confide in, rage... would he ask his dad, "Why does that girl hate us so much"?
When Milady raised her head subconsciously, she found a tall and thin figure beside Siyado.

No wonder she forced Yugan to qualify all the way, and Xiyado didn't extend a hand to hinder her, it turned out that he was entangled by someone.

Lu Ranzhou was probably a foxhound in his previous life, but he actually picked out the only one among nearly a thousand viewers who kept making things difficult for Milady; He looked like an encyclopedia salesman, and Milady could guess how hard he was to get rid of, even if she couldn't hear the conversation.

She suppressed the smile on her lips.

Perhaps the two of the Gaota family never thought that Yugan was not a real defector, so they hesitated to surround her step by step until she qualified.The "Hui"-shaped organ fell into Li Wei's hands, and its movements were much stiffer than before, as if it also knew that its defeat was over.

Milady stood motionless, her hands clasped on the cane in front of her, her back straight.

In the end, the sinking battle was a private matter between her and Luo Geng, and she didn't like having irrelevant people intervene.The only two members of the Gaota family who entered the sinking battle were her and Luo Geng, which was already doomed.

In addition to ensuring that the Gaota family cannot qualify, she has one more important thing to do next.

She had to find a way to send a message to Lu Ranzhou.
