Haidu: Top of the Tower

Chapter 34 The End of the Game
Milady did not know when it began to rain.

The raindrops at the beginning were like the sound of a piano sliding down from the sky, pattering and light.On the forest leaves and on the land, every time it is hit by raindrops, there will be a jerk, and a small piece of dark color will spread.

She was cold, tired, and made another mistake.

"Do you want this?" Luo Geng took the badge from his shoulder, held it between his fingers, flashed it at her, and asked with a smile.

He looked different than ever.

"Whoever is standing after this duel, take it."

As Luo Geng said, he suddenly waved his arm and threw the badge far away—even though Milady knew it was wrong, her eyes were still caught by the badge that involved everything, and she was dragged by it. To a dozen steps away.

By the time she realized her mistake and wanted to turn around, it was too late.

At that moment, anyone who saw Luo Geng might think that he was holding a large bouquet of flowers, as if he was about to hand it to Milady.

The next moment, that large bunch of pink, purple, red fire, snow white and wine red petals suddenly came to life, whirling and dispersing rapidly, and plunged into the air like a whirlpool, instantly engulfing Milady in the warm flower shadow.

The petals of each color contain a rich rhythm of a different frequency, and each petal has a shock wave that is either urgent or slow.

They attached to Milady's body with ecstasy, and the shock waves surged through her blood vessels, brain, and trachea, smashing her blood flow and breathing, and the fragments collided with each other, as if to make her this People also fell apart and were swept away by the wind.

Worst of all, she also had problems with her heartbeat.

Her originally faithful physiological system, following a sudden abnormal heartbeat, caused Milady to collapse and fall to the ground in a short time.The world was turned into a fuzzy turbulence, and she couldn't tell whether she was breathing, rolling, or howling in pain; her skull seemed to become a balloon that was getting bigger and bigger, even though it was about to burst, it still didn't stop sign.

She didn't know how she moved her fingers and opened the trembling mechanism on her body; countless particles of light spit out from between the metal chains, weaving and connecting them into one piece in an instant, forming a layer on her body. protection.The protective layer isolated the shock wave, and cut off many petals that were too late to escape. They immediately shattered and fell from Milady's body in clusters.

However, more petals suddenly jumped into the air the moment she opened the mechanism, still hovering firmly over Milady like a whirlpool.

Even though the shock and shock wave were finally evacuated, Milady couldn't put herself back together completely for a while; she fell to the ground and tried several times while clenching her teeth in a trembling blur, but she couldn't stand up.

When she finally turned over and bumped into something, the object dangled in her field of vision, as if soaked in water waves, and it took several seconds to calm down.

A dark brown leather boot.

Luo Geng stretched out a foot to block her body, stopping her before rolling down the lake shore.

Slowly he dropped one knee beside Milady.

Numerous petals whirled and danced in mid-air, like the large schools of fish Milady had seen when she was diving in the sea, knocking away the leaves and raindrops they encountered.

……It's raining?Looking at the face above, Milady thought vaguely.

It was clearly within reach, but Luo Geng had been tormented for so long; now Milady was finally lying where he stretched out his hand, and could be crushed by him immediately.

On that pretty face, joy was close to tenderness, and satisfaction almost turned into pity.

"You did your best," he whispered. "Not bad for someone like you."

He reached down, found the switch on Milady's neck, and turned it off.The particles of light were absorbed into the mechanism chain again, and she became dumb, and she lost her protection again.

Just when Milady thought the petals were about to fall down again, Luo Geng ignored the petals—he raised his body slightly, as if to better store his strength, and then punched her deeply into her lower abdomen.

The rain suddenly became heavy.

No matter how painful it was, and no matter how clear she was that her physical strength could not compete with him, Milady fought with her life to return the damage he had done to her.

Milady kicked his calf with her boots, and her elbow sank into his waist. She rolled Luo Geng to the ground, even though she suffered countless blows to his jaw and lower abdomen, and her eyes were blackened countless times. , Even the mechanism chain on his body was pulled loose, hanging on his shoulder, he could pull it off.

At a certain moment - Milady couldn't tell the time - Luo Geng suddenly seized an opportunity, rolled away from the struggle, and when he got up, he also picked up the "bundle" that fell on the ground at some time. Flower" organ.

He didn't seem to have expected Milady to be so stubborn. Her face was stained with blood and mud, and her curly hair was hanging down in front of her eyes.

"It seems that you don't have the two advantages of being obedient and accepting your fate." He gasped.

Milady hadn't even got up from the ground when he pressed the button—and even if she could, she couldn't run faster than the petals.

Just a second before the petals in the air flew towards her, Milady suddenly tore off all the chains on her body, grasped its neck ring tightly, and threw it towards the sky with her hands, the chains flung away a long stretch of land. Yang Yang——As she seized the opportunity and pressed the switch, just as the chain and the petals were about to intersect, the particles of light rushed out again.

The petals that had been cut off and wrapped were like a school of fish caught in a fishing net, wrapped together, twisted, and fell to the ground with a bang.

This time, it was Luo Geng's turn to be distracted.

Milady didn't waste a single breath, gathered all her strength and rushed up, slammed into his waist and abdomen, knocked him off the ground, and the two of them rolled to the ground together.

"You've got enough damn nonsense," gasped Milady.While rolling, she reached out and grabbed the hair on the back of Luo Geng's head, pulled his head up, and slammed it hard to the ground.

Unfortunately, the rain-soaked soft land in the forest did not make Luo Geng faint, but instead gave him a chance to grab her arm with his backhand.

The rain is getting worse.The sky has been darkened into twilight, the iron-gray rain column is hitting the ground, the cold wind is tearing the trees, the world is rolling, curling, struggling and biting, distorting the shape and blurring the color.

Milady didn't know whether it was blood, rain or tears on her face, all she knew was that if she didn't get up today, the most important part of who she was was going to be torn away forever—just like her mother.

Water, water everywhere... Even the thoughts in Milady's mind were shaken and blurred as if soaked in water.

Luo Geng was taller and stronger than her.If she wanted to save her life and let Luo Geng fail here, she had to pull Luo Geng out of his winning field and into a field that was more beneficial to her.

Hugging Luo Geng tightly, Milady suffered several heavy blows on her back, almost breaking her breath in her body, but she still gritted her teeth, pushing and struggling Among them, rolled down the shore of the lake together with him.

The surface of the lake that was beaten by the rain trembled, and a tall white wave suddenly broke out.

The two sank straight into the lake, and the boundless lake swallowed up all kinetic energy and speed.Strength or height was meaningless; Milady twisted her body lightly and deftly like a fish swimming, and swam to the bottom of Luo Geng.

When he was thumping about to swim to the surface again, Milady reached out and grabbed one of his feet, like a vengeful sea girl, pinning him firmly below the surface of the lake.

After all, Luo Geng was also from Haidu; he simply stopped going upstream, turned around and jumped down.It's just that Milady was one step faster than him, and swam away as soon as she stepped on the water—one was riding a horse in the jungle, and the other was sailing on the sea. It was self-evident that the water was better; Milady swam to the back of Luo Geng in a few breaths.

She also has a weapon underwater, a ball of canvas in her trouser pocket.

The opened canvas tightly pressed Luo Geng's cheeks, covered his head, and was held by Milady in the back of his head.

Heavy rain and dark clouds suppressed the surface of the lake, as if they also suppressed the people below the lake. One minute later, another minute passed, but they still could not float up.

At this moment, the audience was yelling, discussing, and worrying; a few people from the meeting period family stopped under the rock, and the malt wiped the rainwater from their faces, and Tea Rose stared at the game image, leaning away from the chair; in the distance In the deep sea, Itami softly called his daughter's name.

While Milady was half swimming and half being pushed onto the beach by the water, she certainly couldn't hear the deafening roar of the audience.

In fact, because she was exhausted, she could not hear or see clearly; even if she looked back, the person covered by her and dragged across the small half of the lake was just a blur The black shadow, like a big stranded fish, lay motionless on the beach.

If Luo Geng woke up now, Milady would no longer have the strength to resist.

She fell not far from Luo Geng, and was hit hard by the dense and heavy raindrops.She opened her mouth halfway, and the rain was cold and sweet.

"Tea Rose,"

Milady knew that the other party could not hear her voice.If "distant shadow refraction" is half as powerful as Amelia said, then she hopes that Tea Rose can see her own mouth shape. "Your son is finished."

The only response to her was endless rain, and the sky seemed to be sinking to the ground.

"Next, it's your turn... After I become the patriarch. Do you think this is over? I haven't heard your confession, and I haven't seen your tears." She closed her eyes and murmured: "Tell me, when you also fell to the ground in the polluted area, would the doctor be willing to take a look at you?"

Milady laughed.

Itami watched her quietly from a distance in the sea.She wished she could close her eyes, sink down, and see her mother.

But she knew that there was not much time left for her to rest.

How long is the game left?Half an hour, two 10 minutes?
Milady struggled to get up, and with every step she took, her body seemed to be about to shatter into pieces.She didn't know how she walked back to the shore of the lake where she met Luo Geng step by step; under the downpour that obscured her vision, she searched carefully among the grass and bushes, and finally touched the hard spot. badge.

The imprint lines of the Gaota family rise and fall under her fingertips.

She even found the two mechanisms that were still tightly intertwined, dismantled them with great difficulty, and used Luo Geng's bouquet mechanism to gather the remaining petals together—after two damages, Now there are less than half of the petals left that can be used.

After finishing the mechanism, Milady couldn't squeeze any more strength, so she had to sit still for a while.

It was also at this time that she heard the sound of footsteps in the rain when someone came in the jungle while pushing aside the branches and leaves—she turned her head and saw Yugan.

Yugan's black hair was wetly stuck to the back of his head, his face was washed whiter by the water, and the Mech Falcon was still standing on his shoulder.

She was startled when she saw Milady, which gave Milady a strange feeling: it seemed that Yugan had been secretly hoping that she would not meet her, but now she really met her, and she was frightened and reluctant for a while. Milady would not be surprised if she turned and ran suddenly.

But Yugan seemed to see that her strength was exhausted, so he hesitated for a while and didn't leave. "You...how did you become like this? Did you meet Luo Geng?"

Milady's arms were too sore to lift, or she would have liked to touch her cracked lips.

"Give it to me." She simply ordered Yugan.

Yu Gan took half a step back, as if afraid of her sudden violent attack. "My badge? No—how could I—"

Milady sighed.The rain dilutes the blood beneath her and seeps into the ground.

"Your choice is simple," she said wearily. "One, open your traps and attack me, if you can. Two, give me your badge, or I'll do anything to keep it." Come down. Even if I am injured like this, you still can't beat me."

The Mechanized Falcon suddenly opened its wings a little and threw down a cloud of raindrops, but then closed its wings again.Yugan's face was a little paler than before, as if his whole body was shaking.

"No...no. My cousin was born as the third son, but he was selected as the heir to participate in the competition...You probably can't imagine how much effort he has endured over the years." She whispered, "I Not like the rest of the clan...but my cousin never treated me differently. I can't let him fail. You're right, I can't use a mechanism here, I can't stand it...I never felt like there was a Something is particularly precious, but..."

Milady guessed what she was going to say.

"I still have a third choice." Yugan lowered his head and wiped his face. "Cousin's organ was found from the island."

Her fingers wiping away the rain slipped into her lips, and a sharp whistle pierced the rain.

Even though she had prepared for it, Milady still felt nervous at that moment—could Malt hear it under such a heavy rain?Has Malt found Siyado?Is that badge of mine still in Malt's hand?Is that Siddu, with his iron gray eyes, coming here now?

Yugan seemed to be full of worry, and was wary of Milady, and the whistle became louder and more urgent each time; but several minutes passed, there was only heavy rain in the forest, and no one came.

"Cousin!" she even called out.

Milady felt a breath of air tightly held in her chest, and was finally able to catch her breath.

Yugan's face became more and more ugly; when Milady stood up with the trunk, she was taken aback, but she couldn't bear the heart to open the pollution crystal mechanism—she turned around and rushed into the forest again .

And it's no surprise: Milady has the motivation to defeat her, but Yugan just wants to keep his badge.The fighting spirit of the two was originally not on the same line.

A dozen or so sparse petals floated lightly into the air, and suddenly stuck to Yu Gan's back.

What even she had to admire was that, even at this point, Yugan still gritted his teeth, and resisted not driving the Mechanized Falcon, but let its wings tighten and rolled into the forest—Milady did not Hurt her intention, so after Yugan let out a low cry of pain and fell into the bush, the petals floated into the air again.

Limping, Milady approached Yugan, knelt down, and took the badge from her shoulder.

At this moment, Yugan was experiencing the feeling of falling apart that she had experienced not long ago; while she was rolling and trembling, a sob flowed from her throat.

"This is the meaning of the trial family, and you know it well. Tell Siyado," Milady whispered in her ear, "If he is dissatisfied, let him come to me after the game."

Siyado will probably be here soon.

Now Milady, who is covered in pain and her bones seem to be cracked, must drag her body as far as possible before Xiyado arrives.

Fortunately, the torrential rain washed away her bloodstains and footsteps; although Milady walked anxiously and strenuously all the way, she finally arrived at the agreed meeting place with Malt—she was relieved that , the girl who was shrunk into a ball by the rain had already been waiting under the cliff.

"A few reefs with a wounded bird hidden in the middle", there is only one place on the nearby beach, and Malt seems to have found it well.

Seeing her when she turned around, Mai Ya immediately beckoned. "You finally came!"

She staggered over on the thick sand and shouted, "The game is about to end in less than 10 minutes, and you just came. I'm so scared—how did you become like this?"

It seems that everyone will ask the same question when they see her, Milady thought with a wry smile, not knowing how miserable she is now.

"Luo Geng," she answered Malt's doubts with two words.

"The badge—"

Milady was almost blinded by the rain; she leaned on the reef, and slowly sat down on the beach, and became a pair of difficult brothers and sisters with the orange-billed booby who was injured and immobile under the reef.When she struggled to pull out all the badges, Malt gasped.

Except for the two badges of the Gaota family that were still on Milady's lap, Malt reached out and picked up the other three badges, and looked at them one by one: two were from the Mengsheng family, and one was engraved with the mark of the executioner. .

"You, you even got Yugan's." She seemed suddenly worried and afraid, "then Siyado..."

"Siyado is probably still looking for Yugan right now." Milady put on the two badges of the Gaota family, knowing that now she only needs to wait for the end of the game.

Together with this thought, she felt that she had never been so tired before, she couldn't even sit still for a while, she just wanted to be pressed down on the beach by the raindrops again and again, and never get up again.

Milady did the same.

She fell silently on the beach, the palm leaves were beating the wind, the sound of rain was stirring the sea, and the sound of malt came into her ears through everything: "... I almost failed to maintain the effect of the organ at that time, you don't know how to delay it?" How difficult it was for him to take 5 minutes, I was quick to learn my wits..."

Is it less than 5 minutes?
The overall situation has been settled, Milady thought to herself on the verge of losing consciousness.

Malt's rambling narration suddenly turned into a gasp.

Seventy to eighty percent of Milady's consciousness has gone, and this abnormality only made her slightly open her eyes.

Like a shooting arrow, a figure suddenly pierced through the thick and dark green forest above the cliff, and jumped down from the cliff tens of meters high——before the figure was about to land, it suddenly Stepping on the airflow, breaking through the sea breeze, wrapped in the rain, he jumped into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the two on the beach.

Xiyado's half-length hair was scattered and curled in the wind, and his iron gray eyes still showed no emotion.

His eyes and arms protruded from the "Airflow Skateboard" at the same time, Mai Ya was caught off guard, his hand was empty, and he knocked him down on the beach.

Yugan's badge was caught in Xiyado's hand, and he slid to the sea together on the air waves, and circling, stabilized on the waves.

The next moment, the entire island resounded with long horns.
