Chapter 203 Major Event : Blood Clan Hunter (VI)
"So...what do you think?"
Ke Mingye had a blank expression on his face. As he slowly walked out of the basement, he asked himself in his mind, "Should I give up and take the train directly, or should I go back and try again?"
"Gastro will definitely meet your family before us." Blue Owl said, climbing up from the ground of the abandoned floor, "When that happens, your identity will be exposed."
He paused and said, "But I don't care. It's up to you."
Ke Mingye lowered his head and walked slowly towards the basement exit in silence.
"You are all so useless." The strange thing shook its finger, "Unlike me, I am already on my way to the old Jingmai district." It raised the corner of its mouth, "Guess what this is?"
As it spoke, it raised its other hand, showing a black necklace in its hand.
"Lie detector necklace?" Ke Mingye was stunned.
This was opened after the Dragon-Ninja War when he used the equipment card that dropped when he killed the C-rank ninja.
Weird Thing spread his hands, "That's right. When Comrade Blue Owl was still being kept in the dark by that woman, Master Weird Thing had already seen through the truth with the lie detector necklace."
"Is this true? Then why don't you say anything?" Ke Mingye raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, is it possible that I actually told you, but you didn't listen at all? It's all your fault for not listening to Master Weird. If you paid more attention to me, you wouldn't be fooled by that bad woman."
The strange thing said, holding his forehead with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I am obviously the most intelligent personality, but I am always ignored. Loneliness is a kind of loneliness, and I have long been... alone in the world."
"Can you please stop saying 'weird thing sir'?" Ke Mingye said, "And have you paid the copyright fees for those abstract words you learned from Bias?"
"That's not the point. The question now is, who among you can turn into a magical girl?" Strange Thing asked, "Are you really going to let Master Strange Thing fight alone?"
"It can't be me who has changed, right?" Blue Owl said, "I'm still wearing the battle uniform."
"Fuck you, I'm going to change, okay?" Ke Mingye said calmly, "And take off your fucking combat uniform quickly, what's the point of wearing it when it's so tattered?"
"Uh... take off your combat uniform?" Blue Owl hesitated for two seconds, then asked, "Are you serious?"
"Seriously." Ke Mingye explained, "You will only run slower in that torn uniform, and we will definitely not be able to make it in time. Let's take turns to transform into magical girls... Little Red Riding Hood's flying speed is the best among magical girls, even faster than the monster with mechanical spider legs. So, I will transform first, and then cancel the transformation when we fly near the scene. Then it's your turn to transform with the transformation card, and fly over here quickly."
"So... when we finally appeared, I was a magical girl, and you were Ke Mingye?" Blue Owl thought for a moment.
"What else?" Ke Mingye asked back.
Hearing this, the strange thing hesitated for two seconds: "Can you please get my consent first? You split the personalities of two stinky men and abuse my body of Miss Little Red Riding Hood. It's really fucking disgusting."
"Then I'll let her out next time, but not you," said Ke Mingye.
“That’s a bit too much.”
Blue Owl interrupted their conversation: "Wait a minute, so you really want to show yourself as Ke Mingye?"
"Otherwise, don't just stand there. Run towards Lao Jingmai Street."
As he spoke, Ke Mingye took a deep breath, reached out to open the door of the basement, then took out the magical girl transformation card from his bag and held it in his hand.
Ten minutes ago.
Bai Ziling squatted on the swivel chair with her hands on her knees. She lowered her eyes, her vision blocked by her snow-white hair. The fan turned slowly, but it couldn't blow away the summer heat.
She raised her head and listened carefully. The whole city was shrouded in a ferocious roar. Looking sideways, she saw parasitic puppets on the street rushing towards the apartment building like a tide.
Bai Ziling looked for a long time, then retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and looked at his slightly trembling hands.
"Where is the third brother..."
She whispered to herself and looked down at her palm. A blood-red mark was flickering, emitting a glow like a firefly.
"Is he okay? Is he injured because of me..."
As Bai Ziling spoke, he once again turned his head and stared at the people on the street who were attacked, the people who were seriously injured and collapsed on the ground, the destroyed billboards, and the streets shrouded in flames.
She thought, they will get hurt because of me, I can’t stay here.
Can't run away.
I can't escape anymore...
At least... I can't let my brother get hurt.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes, stared at the mark in deep thought for a long time, then slowly and lightly clenched her right hand, covering the mark on the palm of her hand with her five fingers.
Outside the door, in the corridor.
Ke Yongzhu walked closer to Bai Ziling's room and stood in front of the door. Under the warm orange light, he raised his right hand and then withdrew it.
After a while, he knocked on the door gently and whispered, "Sister, are you okay?"
"Don't come in."
"I just want to know, is there anything wrong with you?" Ke Yongzhu sighed.
"A lot of people have been hurt because of me, and my brother will also be hurt, so don't come near me," said the girl in the room.
"What are you talking about? Something seems to have happened outside. Let's go find Big Brother and the others..."
"I'm going to find my third brother, you stay at home."
"How can I leave you alone..."
Ke Yongzhu stopped talking halfway. He could sense that Bai Ziling was no longer in the room, so he closed his mouth slightly and turned the doorknob. With a creak, he pushed the door open.
I saw that the window was open, and the white curtains were wet by the rain, swaying in the fishy wind.
Ke Yongzhu was silent for two seconds, put his hands in the pockets of his jumpsuit, walked forward quickly, jumped lightly, stepped on the windowsill and fell down, his hair blown by the wind and rain.
Then, Ke Yongzhu stepped on the air-conditioning box on the fifth floor, avoiding the gaze of the residents who were lying in the corridor and shouting, and jumped lightly between the floors.
After a while, he landed on his feet in a deserted alley.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked forward carelessly, sniffing the scent left by Bai Ziling and looking around, "Where is the third sister..."
Suddenly, from the exit of the alley, a group of ferocious figures turned their heads stiffly and stared at Ke Yongzhu. Their backs blocked the light, and long shadows covered the ground.
"Kneel down..."
Ke Yongzhu walked forward while giving orders casually.
As he raised his face, his pupils glowed with dark gold, and the puppets in front of him immediately fell to their knees.
Then, he transformed his right arm into a dragon, covering it with scales like a hand guard. He then extended his dragon claws diagonally behind him. In a flash, the puppets that attacked from behind were knocked several meters away by his claws.
Because it was said on TV that these puppets were ordinary people who were victims, so he stopped.
Otherwise the skulls of those puppets would be crushed by him in an instant.
Suddenly, Ke Yongzhu heard a noise coming from not far away, so he sniffed, "It's my sister's smell..." He murmured, and walked quickly between the kneeling puppets.
After walking around a few streets, I looked up.
Ke Yongzhu's pupils contracted slightly.
The white-haired girl was pinned to the billboard by an arrow. Her body was burning with flames. She opened her mouth slightly, but no sound came out. Her snow-white hair was dyed red, and blood flowed from her hollow pupils.
At this moment, four figures were standing in front of her.
"Flinx, this is the dragon we were talking about last time."
Stro, who was sitting on horseback, turned his head and glanced at Ke Yongzhu and said.
"Dragon?" Flinks took out the giant sword from his back, held it in his hand, and whispered softly, "This child is indeed not simple."
Stro retracted his gaze and reminded, "There's no need to fight to the end. Once I take her heart away, we'll leave here."
Howard blew on the muzzle of his gun and said, "Are you not going to teach this family a lesson before you leave?"
Stro said, "No, I released this nuclear bomb to distract them. A man has to know his own limitations, Howard."
"I think you think too highly of them," Howard said.
"Let's make this a quick and decisive battle," Link said.
Ke Yongzhu was stunned for a moment, then his face slowly darkened, as if black water could seep out. He bit his lips lightly, and blood was about to flow out of his lips.
"You bastards... I'm going to kill you all!"
He growled in a deep voice, and his sound echoed in the street like the sound of a bronze bell.
Then he took off his clothes and rushed forward, his body quickly transformed into a dragon. Layers of scales emerged from his pores, covering every inch of his skin. His claws extended wildly, leaving two dark grooves on the ground. His jaw was covered with iron-hard metal, as if he was wearing a fierce helmet.
Flinks showed no fear, and rushed forward with his huge sword in hand. With a two-meter-tall body and iron-black skin, he looked like a giant made of steel, and he went straight into the claws of the dragon.
The rain was filled with blood, like heavy snow. The earth was shaking violently, and the claws of the dragon of disaster were faintly broken, and black blood flowed from the palm of the giant sword.
"I told you, Flinks is the strongest." Stro said calmly.
"you do not say."
As he spoke, Howard raised his silver spear and pulled the trigger at the dragon's head.
Bullets with deep blue flames flew out violently, and the dragon exhaled a mouthful of fire, igniting it in mid-air. In the trembling and flying rain curtain, the dragon and Flinks were both shaken several meters away by the power of the bullets.
"Get out of my way!"
The dragon roared, and its red pupils reflected the body of the girl who was constantly resurrecting from the dead. She screamed silently under the gray-black sky, and the blood that fell from her eye sockets flowed on her naked body and was instantly annihilated in the flames.
Then, Link, wearing a green raincoat, was about to put an arrow on the bowstring and pull the bowstring.
But suddenly, a figure in ninja uniform burst out from the shadows on the ground.
His figure cut through the rain, his eyes as cold as a knife. The turbulent shadow sword in his hand slashed out diagonally, pointing directly at Link's neck.
But Link leaned forward slightly, kicked the ground, and bounced out like a shadow. Her face was rubbed by the shadow sword, leaving a blood mark. At the same time, she pulled the bowstring in mid-air and shot an arrow at Ke Xiaomo. The crimson arrow was covered with blood the moment it was shot. This was an arrow made with the blood of the ancestor of the blood clan, and it would be covered with the hardened blood of the ancestor when it was shot.
Ke Xiaomo was quick-witted and quick-handed. He flipped the shadow sword and used the blade to block the arrow.
Immediately, under the impact of the blood arrow, the shadow sword shook violently like a wave.
His body was shot dozens of meters in the air. But just as it was about to hit a tall building, a wing-shaped shadow slowly extended from the ninja's shoulder blades.
While resisting the huge force of the arrow, Ke Xiaomo vibrated the wings behind him and shot upwards like lightning. The arrow passed over his feet, shaking off the rain curtain within a radius of five meters, and pierced through four or five tall buildings without any resistance before stopping.
At the same time, Link took out a dagger from his waist, which was bleeding endlessly.
Ke Xiaomo frowned slightly, and stared through the ninja mask at Stello who was slowly approaching Bai Ziling. Just as he was about to hide in the shadow under his feet, another blood arrow shot towards him with unstoppable force.
"It's the ninja from before." Howard said, pulling the whip.
"Leave it to Link," said Stro. "She is inferior in strength, but her reaction is no less than that ninja. Besides, she has two weapons made of the blood of the ancestors in her hands."
As she spoke, she fell off the horse and stepped on the rainy ground. "It feels better to walk on my own two feet. In order to hide my identity, I have been pretending to be a disabled person."
"That's why they couldn't find you," Howard said. "Our little liar is so smart."
Stro walked towards the white-haired girl nailed to the billboard, slowly raised a dagger, and cut a hole in her naked skin.
"I won't say that I had no choice." Stro lifted the girl's chin, "but I hope you don't blame me." As she spoke, she leaned close to the girl's ear and suddenly exerted force with the dagger in her hand.
The next moment, a hole was dug in the girl's chest. Amidst the blood, the beating heart was vaguely visible.
In the burning fire, Bai Ziling's consciousness gradually blurred. In her eyes that were about to close, she reflected the hand that was reaching out to her body.
From the sky, raindrops fell and hit her hair.
Bai Ziling's snow-white hair was wet by the rain.
She closed her eyes and had a dream.
It was the same feeling then.
From the ceiling of the classroom, liquid from the bucket poured down and splashed on her hair.
Bai Ziling's snow-white hair, which was deliberately cut short, was wet by the rain.
She squatted in the corner of the classroom, hugged her knees, and looked down through her wet hair at the picture book on the ground, on which was a little rabbit that her brother had drawn for her.
My brother said that rabbits also have white hair and red eyes. Rabbits are very cute and many people like them, so it is not surprising that someone likes her.
"Brother, you are lying..." Bai Ziling said softly as she looked at the rabbit that was wet by water droplets.
"What are you talking about?" one of the children said, "Aren't you mute? I've never seen you talk before."
She picked up the picture book, held it in her arms, and looked up through her hair.
What came into view were a few faces that were not friendly. They looked down at her with smiling eyes, as if they were examining some foreign object.
"Freak."
"Fight the foreigners."
"What I hate most is foreigners."
As they were talking, the girl picked up her open schoolbag. In front of their eyes, she put the textbooks back into the schoolbag one by one. Then she stood up staggeringly and walked out of the classroom holding the schoolbag.
As soon as she walked out of the classroom, a child took her schoolbag, snatched the picture book in her arms and threw it into the pond.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then walked closer to the pond. She squatted down, letting her shoes get wet, and stared at the picture book. Her red eyes were staring blankly at the rabbit on the page.
The rabbit's red eyes were also wet by the pool water, and they were hazy, as if it was crying.
Under the gazes of many people, the thin girl looked at the picture book in the pond and stared at the rabbit.
"Brother...you're lying." She said softly.
One child said she had finally gone crazy, talking to herself in her sketchbook; another child threw a new sketchbook at her, hitting her on the head, and said, "Here's a new one for you."
The white-haired girl squatted in the pond, her chubby face buried in her knees, her red eyes staring at the picture book in the pond, staring at the lonely rabbit.
She couldn't tell whether she was crying or the rabbit.
But the rabbit’s smile is really blurry. Is it because it was wet or because there is water in her eyes?
She thought so.
"Brother, you're a liar."
"fraud."
"fraud."
"big liar."
"Rabbit is crying too."
She murmured softly, obviously very sad, but she just couldn't shed tears.
Bai Ziling picked up the picture book in the water and walked out of the pond with her head down. Her wet sandals left footprints of varying depths on the ground in the playground.
A boy came over and tried to snatch her picture book.
Bai Ziling raised her head, opened her mouth, and showed her sharp teeth. The boy was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground in fear. The boys around her looked at her with surprise.
"Did you see her teeth?"
"I thought I was seeing things?"
"Is there a monster?"
"Foreign children are just different."
Bai Ziling was stunned for a long time, closed her mouth, hugged the picture book tightly, and ran home.
She hid in the bathroom and locked the door. She placed the picture book on her knees and opened it. In the dim light, she looked at the page and saw the rabbit's smile was blurry.
She tried to smile like the rabbit, but couldn't. She stretched out her finger, and her nails suddenly became sharp and scratched the wet rabbit, breaking its face.
The girl was stunned for a long, long time, as if she had accidentally broken something, tears welling up in her eyes. She picked up the scissors, cut the rabbit with a torn face out of the picture book, and put it aside. Then came the white hair that had been cut very short.
Finally, she squatted among the scraps of paper and white hair scattered all over the ground, staring quietly at her own red eyes in the water.
"Xiao Ling, are you okay?" The second brother's voice came from outside the bathroom.
"What happened to this child suddenly?" came the mother's voice.
"Xiaoling, open the door." Dad's voice.
"Did something happen at school?" the eldest sister's voice.
"Xiao Xiao Xiao Ling, stop playing hide and seek!" The second sister's voice.
"Open the door and tell big brother what happened." Big brother's voice.
"She may not want you to bother him." My brother's voice.
"Hey, kid, your sister is like this." Mother's voice.
Finally, several people outside the toilet whispered something. Bai Ziling didn't hear it clearly, but felt that the voices were very far away.
She stared at the cut rabbit in a daze, tears falling to the ground.
I feel that this world is so far away from me.
Both myself and the rabbit seemed to have been cut out.
Suddenly, a man sat outside the toilet door and whispered, "If you open the door, I will take you and run away. We can run to a place where no one knows us. We don't have to say anything and no one will blame you."
Bai Ziling looked through the door and quietly looked at the figure reflected in it.
After a while, she stood up, walked over and opened the door.
Ke Mingye stood up from the ground, walked into the bathroom with his head down, took her hand, and led her through the family.
The two of them walked out of the house quietly.
She sat on Ke Mingye's bicycle and leaned on his shoulder.
On the bicycle, Ke Mingye took her far away in the brightly lit night. The two looked at the fireflies in the fields and the pond in the distance without saying a word.
In the evening breeze, his back seemed to say something softly, but also seemed to say nothing.
Bai Ziling leaned against his back, sniffed his scent gently, and asked softly.
"Brother...if I were a vampire, would you take me home?"
Ke Mingye didn't say anything, just smiled gently, then drove her forward.
Suddenly, a familiar smell came to my nose.
Bai Ziling slowly lifted her heavy eyelids. When she opened her eyes, the arrow that had pierced her chest had already fallen to the ground. She raised her head, and the rain splashed on her cheeks.
Looking forward in a daze.
In the blood-stained eye sockets, the back of a man wearing a torn T-shirt with blood on his shoulders was reflected.
"elder brother?"
Hearing this, Ke Mingye was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at her and spoke softly.
"Don't sleep, I'm here to take you home."
