The sky was dark and the forest was almost dead silent. She groped the tree trunk and used the last of her strength to run forward.
The sound of people faintly came from far away. They should be chasing the boy. However, she knew that the devil would definitely follow her closely and would not let her go so easily.
Every time he moved, he would feel intense pain all over his body. However, he still had to be careful. He clenched his teeth, raised his feet gently, and then gently put them down. He had to ensure that he was fast and gentle. He gently wrapped his hands in his wide sleeves. Because his fingernails had already been broken, he could not let the blood flow to the ground.
For a ninja, any trace of a clue could be fatal.
The harsh training that she had undergone in the past could only be used at this moment. The torture, exhaustion and hunger from the past few days all rushed up in the dozens of minutes of intense activity. Her head was a little dizzy and she could not see anything in front of her. This meant that her vision had been affected. If it was in the past, she should still be able to see clearly in such a forest.
Occasionally, she would stumble and fall to the ground. At this time, she could only use her sleeves to lightly touch the ground. Then, a bone-deep pain came from her fingers.
In fact, she was still a child …
She wanted to sleep, she wanted to rest. All the pain would be lessened if she closed her eyes. However, no matter how much she wanted to sleep, she still could not close her eyes. Even if there was only darkness in front of her …
Finally, at a certain moment, a faint light came from the front. She walked out of the edge of the forest, but was suddenly startled. In front of her, there was a vast and vast river. The river ran from here, through the city of Jianghai, and then rushed into the sea. With such a wide river, even if her body was in good condition, it was impossible for her to cross it.
Behind her was still the forest. Standing there, she suddenly felt a little lost. Should … should she go?
If she went directly into the water, with her current physical condition, it would be very painful. However, from then on, everything would be over.
Her training told her that it was impossible to give up her life when there was still a little bit of hope. But looking back … she knew that she could not escape far …
She swayed and turned two rounds. Before she could decide, suddenly, a figure flashed out from the forest not far away. He was holding a katana. It was the person she was hiding from.
Suddenly, she ran towards the river with all her might.
Using the last strength of her life — —
The old man caught up with her and hit her left calf with the back of the katana. She staggered and fell to the cobblestone river. The old man's heart calmed down. But he saw that Kaoru Tsukiike still had some strength left. She staggered a few steps forward. Then, her right leg was hit again.
Finally, she fell on the river.
"It's impossible, Kaoru."
Looking at the girl struggling to move forward on the riverbank, the old man said softly, "Tell me the secret of Chiying Thousand Illusions, and I will treat your injuries and let you go.
The girl did not answer, but stubbornly crawled forward.
"You still don't realize?
Yuechi family is already in a huge crisis..
. "The old man said in a deep voice." Yuechi family has provoked Pei Luojia. I know you have already asked for help from Takama-ga-hara. But now, Takama-ga-hara is nothing. They are known as Japan's oldest evolver alliance. But now, they have several powerful evolvers. They can't even be compared to China's Yanhuang Awakening!
Pei Luojia is not like an ordinary organization. If needed, they can mobilize half of the world's assassins. Just the number of evolvers they have is much more than Takama-ga-hara. Do you think that just relying on Masanori Amami's group of impolite juniors can resist the ambition of Otaku Cangshou?
At this time, the only one that can help is Europe's Dark Lyra. "
When he said this, he seemed to be a little nervous. "I am right. Only I can save Yuechi family. But first, you have to help me take back the position of the head of the family … That was originally mine."
If Jiaming heard this, he might say that the old man's judgment was correct. Because in his original life, the reason why he met Kaoru Tsukiike was because he was a spy in the Yuechi family. A few days after Kaoru Tsukiike's suicide, Pei Luojia began to hunt down Yuechi family. Then, most of Takama-ga-hara's members were wiped out by Pei Luojia's team of ability users. At that time, if Yuechi family had allied with Takama-ga-hara and asked for help from Europe's largest dark organization, Dark Lyra, they could have resisted for a while.
As for the battle between Pei Luojia and Dark Lyra, and the fact that when Jiaming encountered the Fire Phoenix, Pei Luojia was fighting fiercely with China's Yanhuang Awakening, these … At the moment, it didn't even matter, so there was no need to talk about it.
The old man's shout seemed to have scared Kaoru Tsukiike. Then, she suddenly turned around and threw a pebble at him. The old man dodged, and the back of the knife hit the girl's neck artery. Suddenly, the girl's body went limp and she fainted.
"I am right, I am right …" Facing the wide river, the old man muttered this sentence. After a long time, he grabbed the girl's body and put her on his shoulder, and slowly walked back.
*****
Because it was basically winter, the sky quickly darkened as soon as the sun set.
The lights in the small square lit up. On the second floor of the two-story building, Cao Jinghao was talking on the phone in a room.
"… I'm telling you, hurry up and sign him!
Okay, okay, it's fine if he doesn't want to go to that place. Damn it, Monkey and the others aren't back yet. That little boy must have been caught, but Liu Huaisha is in trouble. She has been practicing martial arts since she was young, so she has a good physique. If she ran for another ten minutes, she might have already escaped.
"But there aren't many cars passing by here at night, and there's no phone either. It will take her an hour or two to enter the city to call the police. Hurry up and settle this. Just say that his daughter ate something bad here and has a stomachache, but we have no choice. I'm a triad, how can I go to the hospital … Once I sign him, I'll get him. As for the rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow!
Let's do it! "
After putting down the phone, he walked around the room a few times. This Monkey was too bad. Even if he didn't catch the girl, it would be good if he caught the boy and rescued Dong Feng. No matter what, he should have called back. It's not like I didn't give him a mobile phone, but he just couldn't bear to call …
He walked out of the room angrily and stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked down. Although most of the people had gone out to look for the girl, there should be some people downstairs. He turned to look at the room on the side and saw a few men playing cards.
"Erzi, where are Ah Ming and the others?"
"Oh, boss." A gangster put down his cards. "Ah Ming and Ah Cheng are guarding the door.
Aren't Ah Jian and Ah Chuan downstairs? "
"Downstairs?"
Cao Jinghao looked at the square and had a bad feeling in his heart. He said, "There's no one downstairs. Something's wrong. You guys look for Ah Jian and Ah Chuan. I'll call Monkey to ask about the situation."
He went back to the room and quickly dialed a number. Just as he pressed the last button, several loud explosions were heard.
He was shocked and took out a pistol from the drawer. He took the phone and quickly walked out. "What's wrong?
What's wrong? "
At this time, his men had not come downstairs. They were all stunned on the balcony. Looking over, a small hut on the other side of the square had been completely blown up. The flames were burning fiercely in the late autumn night.
"Damn, it's the garage. Our cars were all blown up."
"I don't know how many people Liu Zheng sent over. Ah Ming and Ah Cheng didn't even send the alarm."
"F * ck this guy …"
"Boss, quickly call Monkey and the others back."
For a moment, there was chaos. Four or five people ran back to the room to get knives. At this time, the phone was connected. Cao Jinghao said, "Monkey, what's wrong with you guys?
It's fine if you can't catch the girl. Come back quickly. Liu Zheng is here … "Speaking of this, he froze on the spot.
A bloody head rolled out from the corner of the small square. In the shadow of the light, there was a vague figure, holding a mobile phone and facing this direction.
"Well, the original owner of this brick is called Monkey?
Unfortunately, I'm afraid he can't talk to you, although he did want to talk to you on the phone before he died. "
"Who … are you …"
After asking this question, Cao Jinghao felt a chill in his heart. Because he had already recognized that the voice on the phone belonged to the child called Gu Jiaming.
"Who am I … Haha, to be precise, it should be the meaning of what I'm doing now. It's the style of a very famous killer in the Dark World. Cutting off the enemy's head and giving them the greatest fear. Of course, you probably don't know who he is … In fact, it's not important …"
