From Hokage to Visionary
Page 259
Caesar strode forward and swung out another left hook, hitting the boy hard in the cheek.
boom!
Lu Mingfei was beaten to the ground.
At this moment, Chu Zihang suddenly took action and stopped Caesar who was about to punch. There was a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Stop it, you can't wake him up if you keep hitting him like this."
Caesar gritted his teeth, then as if to vent his anger, he roared angrily and punched the wall.
The solid wall was immediately dented by the punch.
"So what do you say, what should we do now?!" Caesar's eyes turned red, like an angry lion.
"I'll leave a message and ask Cassel's people to pick them up." Chu Zihang turned around silently, went to the corner, put the bronze box on his back, and sighed: "Although I don't know what happened, but... I can tell that he has become like this, and it should be related to the Secret Society."
"You plan to go straight to them?"
Caesar raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised.
They had witnessed the strength of the secret society yesterday and almost lost their lives on the spot.
Now, the trio, who were already extremely lacking in combat power, have lost Lu Mingfei, a powerful fighter. It would be extremely difficult for the two of them to stop the summoning ceremony.
"Unless you have another solution."
Chu Zihang said calmly: "Besides, no matter what, we have to go there anyway. As for Lu Mingfei and Jiude Mai, let them stay here."
"Going to die?"
Caesar spoke in a low voice with flames dancing in his pupils.
"I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?" Chu Zihang turned his head to look at him and said slowly.
"Tell me about it." Caesar's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "No matter what the plan is, as long as there is a chance of success!"
"Sky Patrol."
Chu Zihang looked into Caesar's eyes and spoke word by word.
Caesar's pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a horrified expression: "You... you mean..."
He was not unfamiliar with the Sky Patrol, he was even very familiar with it.
It is a satellite operating in low-Earth orbit, revolving around the earth approximately once every 90 minutes. After reaching the coordinates of the attack location, it will drop six extremely dense metal rods made of tungsten alloy, and then leave the rest of the steps to gravity acceleration.
The only recorded use was in the Mount Fuji area of Japan.
But that time, the 'Divine Punishment' was destroyed by the White King with his Word Spirit, and ultimately failed to land successfully and cause damage.
But that doesn't mean that Sky Patrol is useless.
On the contrary, the deterrent power of Sky Patrol still exists, and after the last incident, the Equipment Department adjusted it again.
Loaded with alchemical reaction chain and deadly mercury, the shell is cast with tungsten steel alloy. Even if the impact caused by the fall cannot kill the Dragon King immediately, the alchemical reaction chain and highly toxic mercury contained in it are enough to cause absolutely fatal damage in the second time!
However, the result of such powerful destructive power is that it was sealed because the destructive power is too shocking and the killing range is too large.
However, what really made Caesar hesitate was that once the "divine punishment" fell, the entire Rome might be destroyed.
This naturally includes them, as well as Nuo Nuo and Xia Mi!
Is it really worth destroying a city to stop the Secret Order? !
Caesar asked himself and suddenly felt a little confused. This was like the classic trolley problem in front of him.
"Really? Do we have to do this?" The cost of tens of millions of lives made him feel suffocated. It seemed as if a prosperous city turned into ruins and many lives were lost before his eyes. Was it really the right thing to do?
"I do not know."
Chu Zihang lowered his eyes, as if he was making a painful decision deep in his heart.
"But I know this is the last resort." He took a deep breath, then looked at Caesar and said in a deep voice: "I will do my best to stop the ceremony. If I fail, the rest will be left to you. You have to stop them."
Caesar understood what he meant, his eyes flickered slightly: "You want to go alone?"
“Someone has to sacrifice.”
Chu Zihang patted the bronze box on his back, his eyes blazing: "The Seven Deadly Sins are not only alchemical weapons, they also hide an alchemy, which is Norton's biggest trump card. Only I can activate it, so I must go, and only I can do this."
Should we save one person or ten thousand people?
Nono
Caesar closed his eyes in pain, he would rather be the sacrifice.
To destroy tens of millions of people with one's own hands, this kind of pain can drive a person crazy!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 402 Entering the battle alone!
Caesar said nothing and sat cross-legged beside the bed.
Indifferently and mechanically, he repeated the action of inserting bullets into the magazine, as if only in this way could he briefly escape from the painful decision.
After all, the number of bullets is limited, and soon all five magazines were loaded.
Five magazines are enough for one battle.
On the other side, Chu Zihang's preparation work was much simpler. He sat cross-legged in the corner of the room, with the Murasame that was broken by "Judgment" placed across his knees.
He wet the silk cloth with clean water and wiped the broken blade gently and slowly.
Chu Zihang's movements were very serious, as if he was treating a beloved object, or like an ancient warrior meditating. Every wiping movement was to wipe away the dust on that dusty heart, allowing it to shine with a sharp edge again!
Since his father disappeared, apart from practicing swordsmanship every day, he spent most of his time thinking about how to maintain his swords.
Although, the Murasame made of alloy by the Equipment Department does not actually require maintenance, you can just go and get another one if it breaks.
Besides, is there any point in maintaining a broken sword?
As for Lu Mingfei, we had hoped that he would wake up, but in the end he was still curled up in a corner with a blank look in his eyes.
Caesar felt bored and simply turned his gaze to the window.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden sunset, shining on the ancient city, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold foil.
A city with a population of tens of millions depends entirely on his thoughts.
When the sunset completely sinks into the horizon and the black star rises to the center of the night sky, the terrifying existence from the starry sky will invade and descend upon this beautiful city.
By then, many more people will die.
Caesar exhaled heavily, lowered his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "The time is almost up."
"Ah."
Chu Zihang responded softly, then stopped wiping.
The broken Murasame was put aside. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at Caesar who still couldn't make a choice. He said lightly: "We don't have the power to choose."
Caesar remained silent, with a painful expression on his face.
"If we don't do this, more people will die."
Chu Zihang looked deeply at Caesar with his golden eyes and said softly, "I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but I know very well that if we don't stop them here, more people will die than just Kassel Academy!"
The pain on Caesar's face became more and more severe. He was very clear about the consequences of doing so, and he knew even more clearly the consequences of not doing so.
He received an elite education since childhood, and pride and talent accompanied him throughout his growth process, allowing him to easily become a leader and gather a fairly large organization.
But there has never been a moment as painful as it is now.
Only when you have truly experienced the feeling of carrying the lives of tens of millions on your shoulders, will you understand how deep the pain is, which makes you feel unable to breathe and as if you are suffocating.
"You feel relaxed now, hahaha." Caesar smiled bitterly, his eyes full of gloomy despair, looking at the calm Chu Zihang.
To some extent, Chu Zihang's task was actually very simple, at least he didn't have to bear the pain.
If the rescue fails, the only outcome that awaits him is death.
"Ah."
Chu Zihang did not refute, but looked at him seriously: "Because, you are 'Caesar'."
Yes, because he is 'Caesar'!
He is flamboyant and proud, but only he can make such a cruel decision, even bearing the pain of tens of millions of lives!
The silence lasted for a long time, until the sun completely sank below the horizon.
The whole city was shrouded in the night. Gray clouds still hovered in the sky. No stars or moon were visible. The air was filled with a moist scent, like a warning before a rainstorm.
Pedestrians on the street returned home early, and colorful lights lit up the city.
The clock on the wall pointed to nine twenty-five, and there were less than three hours left until the summoning ceremony at midnight.
"I have to go now."
Chu Zihang pulled the strap of the bronze box, looked at Caesar who was still silent, and said calmly: "If the rescue fails, I will send a signal, and the rest depends on you."
He did not put any more pressure on Caesar because there was no need and he believed that Caesar could make the right choice.
Leaving this sentence, he pushed the door and left.
One drop, two drops.
Soon, heavy rain fell.
Wow.
The rain fell in dense lines, raising large amounts of mist.
Chu Zihang was carrying a heavy sword case on his back, but his body was still agile and was not affected at all. He moved at a very fast speed in the rainstorm.
In fact, after completely stepping into the blood-boundary, his body tissues were infinitely close to those of a dragon, and this weight could not affect him at all.
He placed his feet on the reinforced concrete roof, bent his knees slightly, and then exerted force suddenly.
boom!
There was a loud noise like a heavy artillery being fired, exploding under the rain curtain in the night sky.
Chu Zihang's body broke through the sound barrier in an instant, and leaped between rooftops that were dozens of meters apart. The air around his body exploded, and he actually dragged a water dragon in the rain.
It was like a real sound wave, accompanied by a terrifying strong wind. From a distance, it looked like a wild beast from the ancient times, bursting out with a suffocating momentum, and its target was clearly the Pantheon.
Soon, when approaching the Pantheon, Chu Zihang, who was sprinting at full speed, suddenly stopped.
Holding his breath, under the cover of darkness and heavy rain, he was like a ghost, constantly flashing back and forth in the blind spots on both sides of the street.
Night fell and dark clouds gathered.
The sky seemed to be stained with thick ink, and the low air pressure made people feel suffocated.
Suddenly, a sharp flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by deafening thunder, like the roar of gods, echoing in the night sky.
The dome of the Pantheon looked even more solemn and mysterious in the rainstorm. The rain slid down the curve of the roof, as if covering the ancient building with a hazy veil. The crisp raindrops hit the stone pillars, interweaving with the thunder god in the distance into a magnificent symphony.
Chu Zihang carefully hid in the dark, allowing the heavy rain to soak him. His eyes were like a hawk in the night, scanning the situation around the Pantheon.
Unexpectedly, there was no defense around the Pantheon and not a single observer was to be seen.
The infiltration process went extremely smoothly, which made Chu Zihang feel more and more uneasy, but now that he was here, no matter what strange situation came up, he could only grit his teeth and face it.
Looking at the stone pillar in front of him, Chu Zihang thought for a moment and then climbed directly to the top along the stone pillar.
Then, he lowered his body, like a gecko, and with the powerful strength of Deadpool, he clasped the ancient dome of the Pantheon with his five fingers and slowly entered the main hall.
A flash of fire illuminated the main hall.
Chu Zihang was like an upside-down spider, observing the inside from the dome.
Suddenly, his breathing stagnated because he saw Xia Mi and Nuonuo being abducted.
The two women had their shoulder blades pierced by alchemical instruments, their hands were tied behind their backs, there were scars all over their bodies, and they did not look very well and their faces were pale, obviously having been abused.
They were like prisoners waiting to be punished, kneeling in the center of the main hall, surrounded by strange patterns painted with bright red paint, lit torches, and more than a dozen strange figures in yellow clothes and pale masks.
It seems that this is the site of the "summoning ceremony" and that group of people should be waiting for the opportunity to be summoned.
Chu Zihang looked at the two women below and thought of a rescue plan in his mind.
While he was thinking, the yellow-clothed figures forming a circle below suddenly made way for him.
A man in a yellow robe, who was obviously taller and of higher status than the others, walked into the main hall calmly. Wherever he passed, the men in yellow robes bowed their heads to show their respect.
