far away.
An old man, who looked like a living dead, stood in the middle of the road, ignoring the speeding cars and staring at him and Xia Yue.
When Lao Li saw the person blocking the road, he was silent for a moment, then turned the steering wheel sharply and stopped directly in the emergency lane.
Xia Yue thanked Lao Li, asked him to stay in the car, then opened the door and walked out.
A tall figure appeared.
The old man who looked like a living dead took a step forward and then appeared in the emergency lane, looking at Xia Yue who was more than ten meters away.
"Completely crazy?" Xia Yue asked.
"I want to talk to you."
The old man spoke tremblingly, his voice was not loud, but his words were clearly heard by Xia Yue: "Xia Yue... I don't want to be here, I just want to live. Promise me, let that girl use her authority over me and let me live.
You only need to agree to this simple request of mine, and I will leave immediately. Other conditions can be discussed, even if you ask me to join the Tiance Mansion and work like a slave for you. "
"Just consider it a favor... I've lived for over 170 years, and I've spent half of that time serving my country and its people. During that time, I've handled two first-category legends, forty-two second-category legends, and countless third-category legends."
"I may not have made any contributions, but I have worked hard... Just consider it as a token of my gratitude for all the years of dedication and let me live."
Chapter 70: A Weird Journey
"...You look really ugly like this."
Xia Yue looked at the old man quietly for a while, then shook his head gently: "I can understand your desire to live, but as for joining Tian Ce and working like a slave, there's no need to talk about it. You know better than me what you want.
I know your achievements, and I am also aware of the evil you have done during this period, so you can just lie to yourself. It is really embarrassing to say it out loud, especially in this situation.
But if you must have an answer, I can give you that, and that is—no.”
The old man's face trembled. After a moment's silence, he continued, "...someone went to find Si Yujie with the 'Zhong Hong'. You know what this means."
"If the emotional card doesn't work, then threats will be used?"
Xia Yue twitched his lips upon hearing this: "That expression didn't even last thirty seconds."
"Then whose side are you on!!!"
The old man saw the mocking expression on Xia Yue's face and found that he remained unmoved. He trembled and suddenly roared, "It's obviously the most powerful authority, but you neither let the people in Tiance Mansion use it, nor let us old guys use it! Whose side are you on?!
Are you sick!!! She could be the most powerful weapon!!! Yet you let her go to school! Just let her use her power once! Just once! Is it really that hard for me to live?! One compromise! Could buy this country a powerful guardian! Why wouldn't you want to do it!!!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became.
The words were full of resentment.
Anyone can hear it.
"What's a teenager supposed to do if he doesn't go to school? Become a weapon or a tool?"
Xia Yue twitched his lips again and said expressionlessly, "Just because she has such great power? Should we do this? Then what are we adults to do? We adults should all commit suicide.
As for the Patronus? Honestly, you're not worthy of it."
"..."
When the old man heard Xia Yue's last words, a painful expression appeared on his face and he slowly closed his eyes: "Xia Yue, you are really stubborn."
Xia Yue was about to speak.
But suddenly, he sensed something... and looked up in the direction of Pengcheng.
In the sky.
Countless floating threads are intertwined and entangled with each other, extending to all parts of the city.
Then, countless bizarre urban legends came to life.
“I’m old now.”
The old man also looked up in the direction of Pengcheng, then took a step forward and said softly: "But Xia Yue, don't forget, I was young once too."
Can't talk.
We can only fight.
"I know."
Xia Yue withdrew his gaze, looked at the old man, stretched his body, and then slowly exhaled two hot breaths that distorted the air.
[Ancient system, the purest first-level authority of the source code, the giant ant - Hercules.]
……
just now.
Pengcheng, Changxu District, outside the alley.
Xia Panqiu and Wu You watched Chen Lusi disappear before their eyes.
The two men's expressions changed immediately. One looked towards the alley, while the other looked up at the sky.
Xia Panqiu was the first to react.
It is clear.
Chen Lusi's disappearance is closely related to the person holding the black umbrella.
And that existence came out of the alley...
When Xia Panqiu thought of this, her fair little face tensed and she immediately stepped forward, about to stride into the alley.
"Panqiu, wait!"
Wu You's voice was as loud as a bell, and he directly used his authority to call out to Xia Panqiu.
Xia Panqiu paused and looked back at Wu You: "We can't just watch from outside and leave him alone in here."
"I know."
Wu You nodded, then said with a sullen face, "But calm down first. Do you still remember what Chen Lusi said in the basement of the supermarket?"
"He said someone was controlling the girl who hanged herself..."
Xia Panqiu replied subconsciously.
And halfway through the conversation.
She realized something and her expression changed again.
She looked at Wu You: "Are you saying that it is really possible that someone is controlling those dead people?"
"Just now Chen Lusi said that the sky is full of lines. Combined with what the man holding the black umbrella said, it's very likely."
Wu You thought for a moment and said, "And the purpose... might be Xiaoyan. Let's contact Xiaoxiao and Ayue first and ask them what they say. I'll contact Xiaoxiao."
Say it.
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Si Yujie.
Upon hearing this, Xia Panqiu took out his cell phone and contacted Xia Yue.
But neither Si Yujie nor Xia Yue answered the phone.
The two put down their phones, looked at each other, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
"It looks like we might be in trouble."
Wu You put away his phone, glanced at the alley, then at the direction of Tiance Commerce, and said with a cold face: "We must rush to Qinyuan Primary School. It's more important there. We may be the only ones left now."
Xia Panqiu remained silent, looked back at the alley, and bit her lower lip.
"believe him."
Wu You knew what Xia Panqiu was thinking and said calmly, "Trust Chen Lusi... If someone is controlling him, we won't be able to find him in such a short time."
Speaking of which.
He paused and patted the shoulder bag he was carrying.
"And we can't use ropes here. Regardless of whether it works or not, even if it does, we'll be one man short."
Wu You turned back to look at the alley: "In that case, why not trust Chen Lusi! Let's rush to the elementary school first! That way, all three of us can become a fighting force!
In the absence of Xiaoxiao and Ayue, Chen Lusi can act as a surprise soldier. We cannot waste this advantage. Even if we rush over to collect intelligence and then exchange it, it can increase our chances of winning!
Xia Panqiu, believe him, and believe me too!"
"……Walk."
Xia Panqiu took a deep breath, took a last look at the alley, and without hesitation, chose to stride away.
This is indeed the optimal solution.
He was trustworthy...it would be alright.
the other side.
"Please believe us too!"
Wu You also took a deep breath, muttered to himself, and then trotted away.
Under the puzzled gazes of the police officers from the Public Security Bureau, the two sprinted back to the car.
Then, without any extra words, the two of them opened the car door and got in.
Engage gear and start.
As the exhaust gas was emitted, the tires rubbed against the ground in an arc.
Wu You turned the steering wheel sharply, did a drift, and turned around to rush back.
soon.
Wu You turned onto the main road.
Xia Panqiu couldn't help but look back at the car. She didn't see Chen Lusi, but saw a woman in red through the car window.
A woman was standing by the roadside, holding a baby, waving at them desperately, as if she was trying to hitchhike and looked very anxious.
Wu You, who was driving, also noticed it.
But no parking.
Xia Panqiu frowned slightly and glanced at the woman's face. As soon as she looked away, she noticed two figures in front of the road.
That's a young man.
He was pushing a wheelchair with a middle-aged woman sitting in it.
The two were talking and laughing, and seemed to be a mother and son.
Seeing Wu You driving the car towards him quickly, the young man raised his hand, as if wanting Wu You to wait for a moment.
Wu You subconsciously released the accelerator.
Xia Panqiu simply raised his hand, stared at the mother and son not far away, and activated his authority.
Nothing happens.
She immediately put her hand on Wu You's shoulder.
"Bump into it! Trust me!!!"
Xia Panqiu raised his voice and suddenly said.
Wu You didn't say anything, but just stepped on the accelerator.
The roar sounded!
The car accelerated again and rushed forward as if out of control!
"You guys are so cruel..."
The moment of acceleration.
Suddenly a female voice came from the back seat.
The woman in red who had just blocked the road was sitting in the back seat of the car, holding her child, crying and complaining.
