Chapter 22 The Encounter in the Roadway (Part 2)

"Mo Zi!" Ding Ke shouted in the alley, because he was too devoted to chasing the monsters, so that Ding Ke was lost in the complex alley without realizing it. This situation is the worst for a road fool.

Where did that monster go? Ding Ke held the big sword and looked around, but since the night was getting deeper, the brazier was only placed along the road. Such a deep alley was covered by the shadows of the houses on both sides, and it was pitch black. Even with a lantern and a torch, the fire would be blocked by the piles of abandoned wicker boxes or wooden barrels that suddenly appeared in front of him. There was no idea what was hidden behind it. In addition, there were too many corners in the alley, so Ding Ke used a big sword to cut the way out to avoid being attacked by the monster.

Even so, this alley is still too terrible. Ding Ke thought of it, reminding him of the horror game he had played before. No, this is different from the horror game. Ding Ke held the hilt of the sword and used some force. If there was a ghost, just use this sword to chop it down. This is such a world where you talk with a sword. Whether it is a ghost or a monster, you will die if you are chopped by a sword.

But is this really the case? Ding Ke has never seen anything like the so-called official settings. These are just her imagination, but this is enough. What she needs at this moment is courage. If these imaginations can provide courage, there is nothing to pursue.

"Mo Zi!" Ding Ke shouted loudly again, his voice so loud that it was so loud that it was out of tune, "Mo Zi!"

Then Ding Ke returned the breath nervously, and her throat felt a little uncomfortable, so she took a deep breath and walked towards the next intersection with her breath. Fortunately, there was no ambush next to the intersection.

What should I do? The monster has been lost. Although it can track its blood at the beginning, the blood has become blurred after passing through several sewage puddles. Ding Ke walked around for a long time and finally lost it. Now is he trying to find a way to find the monster? Or continue to find a way to track the monster?

Just when Ding Ke didn't know what to do, she suddenly heard the scream of a little girl. She frowned and walked in the direction, but found that she had walked out of the alley. There was a big road outside, with braziers on both sides of the road, but the guards had not patrolled here yet. She looked in the direction where the sound came and saw a shadow pulling a small man wrapped in an unfit cloak into the alley. Ding Ke frowned, what's going on?

With suspicion, Ding Ke quickly followed her and walked into another alley parallel to the alley. Two alleys at each intersection could see each other. Ding Ke walked over quickly and first waited at an intersection. But he saw a figure pulling a small man and walking over quickly. The little man behind obviously couldn't keep up with the other person's footsteps. Then the little man exclaimed again, as if he had fallen forward because he stepped on the cloak. Although she deliberately hid this time, Ding Ke still heard the voice of a little girl.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." the little girl said to the man quickly.

"It's okay." It was a hoarse and terrifying voice, which made Ding Ke wonder why someone made such a sound. Then she immediately came to an intersection ahead of them. This time she held her breath and saw the man's appearance clearly. No, she did not see the man's appearance clearly, but saw his dress.

It was an extremely weird outfit. When he reached out, he was a ragged wallet with a charred piece on it. The man wore a strange pale mask on his face, and his eyes were pitch black. In addition, there seemed to be a strange and exaggerated smile on the mask, which made Ding Ke feel strange and unusual. The most important thing was that Ding Ke saw the bandage on the man's body, his hands, head, and as long as there was no cover, they were basically covered with bandages.

Ding Ke suddenly remembered the words of Mo Zi. "Wanted Crime." Ding Ke said subconsciously, and the man suddenly looked in her direction. Fortunately, Ding Ke hid the lantern in his cloak, and he hurriedly hid in the shadow around the corner. The man stared in this direction for several seconds. When Ding Ke almost thought he had been discovered, the man took the girl's hand and walked forward again.

Where was the wanted criminal going with that little girl? Ding Ke suddenly got goosebumps when he thought of this, and then she felt anger surged into her brain. "Beast!" Ding Ke cursed in a low voice, then walked forward very quickly. She pricked her ears and listened to the footsteps of the wanted criminal and the little girl before passing through a few intersections. Then she came to their front first.

Ding Ke leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. It was close to the edge of the old city. Further ahead was the cliff. The old city and sluice areas of Jinshui City were built on the edge of the cliff. The Canjin River turned into a waterfall from this cliff and threw it into the Changgu Lake below. Listening to the sound of footsteps, Ding Ke confirmed that it was the footsteps of two people, a man and a little girl.

She held the sword in both hands, just waiting for the man's shadow to approach the flames of his lantern. Ding Ke held his breath and appeared in his sight with one foot.

...

"Go to die!" Joel was surprised by the sudden attack, but he was not unprepared. From the beginning, he felt that someone was tracking him and Hemi, so he pulled the black sword "Silence" out of the sheath in advance.

The broad sword blade cut through the air, and the fire reflected on it made Joel stunned. Big Sword?! So fast! Joel was shocked and raised the black sword in his hand to stop it. He supported the sword body with one hand and held the hilt with the other. Then the exquisitely crafted sword hit Joel's sword blade hard. Sparks scattered. Joel could feel the "silence" bent a little, and he fell backwards and knocked down a bunch of wicker boxes without standing firmly. A large area of ​​dust aroused. Joel had no time to think about anything, but he heard the coming shouts again.

"It's not over yet!"

Is it a woman? This thought flashed through Joel's mind, and he quickly flashed over. Fortunately, the wicker box did not suppress him too much. The moment he turned sideways, the great sword pierced the position where he had just fallen. Because the speed was too fast, the sword blade even cut through Joel's right rib. The blood burned violently when it touched the air, and the red flames leaped on the cold sword body of the great sword.

When Joel finally stood firm, the woman had already pulled the sword out of the wicker box.

The two confronted each other, everything happened so suddenly that Joel could not think of what to say for a moment. He saw clearly through the mask that the man was a woman wearing a red and blue cloak with a white hood on her head. She stood the white steel sword in her hand on the ground, holding it with one hand, and posing in an obstructive position. Woman? Joel was sure again that from her standing position, half of her face exposed and the roar before, Joel could be sure that she was a woman.

The woman did not rush up again, but stared at Joel tightly, and then walked to the middle of him and Hemi.

"Shit, what happened?" Hemi didn't seem to have reacted, but just as the weapons hit each other, Joel's sound of hitting the wicker box should have scared her.

"Don't hurt her." Joel said hoarsely.

"I should say this sentence," the woman said dissatisfiedly, "stay away from her."

What's going on? Joel frowned, "This is a misunderstanding." Joel told the woman holding the big sword in a hoarse way.

"Misunderstanding?" the woman smiled disdainfully, "What misunderstanding is a wanted criminal?"

"Wanted criminal?" Hermi was stunned, and Joel's hand holding the sword couldn't help but exert some force.

"I'm not a wanted criminal," Joel replied.

"Oh? Speaking of which, I realized that you are a player," the woman paused, and then her tone became even colder. "You said you are not a wanted criminal, so do you have any evidence?"

Joel was speechless for a moment. What should I do? He pricked up his ears and listened to the movements around him. Although there was no other voice yet, if he had been entangled with this woman, he might lead other mercenaries and guards to come. It would be troublesome at that time. Do you want to kill her? Joel thought gloomyly, and his empty left hand moved unconsciously. He lowered his head slightly and saw the snake ring appearing on his palm.

"Please, please wait!" Hemi suddenly spoke.

"Ha? What's wrong, little sister?"

The woman asked impatiently, and Hemi was also frightened by her tone, but she still mustered up the courage to continue saying, "Mr. Kang, Mr. Kang Ting is not a bad guy, ma'am, he... is not a wanted criminal."

Then the woman was stunned. Just as Joel hugged a little hope that this matter could be solved, the woman looked at Joel again. "I say, what mess did you, the disgusting bug, instill in this little npc girl?" The woman shouted to Joel in a disgusting voice, "Why would she speak for a wanted criminal like you?"

Joel sighed and had to kill her.

The ring of snake bloomed at Joel's feet, and the ring with a pale and glimmer began to spread along Joel's feet. Although Joel had no feelings for it, he looked at the woman's face and found that her expression had changed a lot slower, which seemed a little funny.

The woman seemed to want to retreat, but her every move seemed extremely slow in Joel's eyes. Joel had already arrived in front of the woman in the blink of an eye. She raised the sword and slashed at Joel. Joel bent down and untied the snake ring. The pale ring quickly retracted, and the speed of time returned to normal. The sword passed over Joel's head, but the woman had not had time to stop the momentum of the sword. The black sword in Joel's hand had already hit her throat.

"Mr. Kangting! Please don't hurt her!" Hemi shouted anxiously. Joel's sword was about to separate the woman's throat before he stopped, but his movements did not stop at all. He grabbed the woman's shoulder and pulled her to block the sharp blade of the foreign weapon that he and he slashed behind him.

The sharp blade suddenly stopped, and then the person holding the sword took a step back, and the black sword in Joel's hand was always on the woman's throat.

"Mo Zi?" the woman shouted blankly after seeing another person who was planning to attack Joel.

Joel looked at the woman. She was not wearing armor, and she couldn't even count as cotton armor. She only wore a simple and foreign cloth on her body, revealing her smooth shoulders, and her wrists and ankles were wrapped with bandages. Joel noticed that her face was as delicate as a foreign ceramic doll, with long, long, straight black hair tied behind her head. She was not tall and looked no different from an ordinary girl, but the big blade in her hand should not be a weapon that a girl should have. If Joel had killed the woman holding the big sword just now, the big blade of the girl would split herself in half.

"Let go of Ding Ke." The girl took a step back slightly, with no expression on her face, but Joel could feel the anger in her voice.

After hearing her words, Ding Ke struggled. Joel pressed her shoulder and said, "Don't move." Joel told her hoarse and rudely.

"Either let me go! Or kill me! Where did so much nonsense come from?! Do you still want to threaten people?!" Ding Ke struggled more and more intensely, "Let me go! Take away your dirty hands!"

"Ding, Miss Dingke!" Hemi leaned over at this time, and then she suddenly stepped on the overly long cloak and fell forward. Joel almost conditionedly pushed Dingke forward, and then reached out to hold Hemi.

"Didn't you fall?" Joel asked.

Hemi shook his head, and a look of guilt appeared on his face, "I'm sorry..."

Ding Ke, who was let go by Joel, did not immediately step forward. The exotic girl called Mozi came to her with the big blade and carefully examined the wound on her neck, but was just a little bit of skin being scratched by the sword blade. Then the two of them held weapons and blocked Joel in front of him.

After rubbing Hemi's head, Joel stood up again and looked at the two girls in front of him, "I don't want to hurt anyone." Joel told them, "It's just a misunderstanding."

Ding Ke and Mo Zi looked at each other. "Missue, misunderstanding?" Ding Ke said hesitantly, "Why should I believe you, a wanted criminal!"

Mozi pulled her cloak and said, "He just let you go."

"Talk! Of course I know!" Ding Ke showed an unhappy look, "Okay! I understand! One life is for another, I will let you go this time! But that little girl can't go with you!"

After hearing this, Hemi was so scared that he grabbed Joel's body and hid behind him.

"Ding Ke, you just issued a declaration that looks very much like a villain." The girl named Mo Zi said calmly.

"Is there any?" Ding Ke was surprised, "Don't care! In short, it just won't work!"

"I don't have time to joke with you." Joel said coldly.

"We are here! Who is joking with you!" Ding Ke shouted dissatisfiedly, "I'm not at ease to hand that little girl over to a suspicious person like you!"

"But Ding Ke, maybe we are suspicious characters to that little girl, right?" Mo Zi reminded.

"Don't tear my platform!" Ding Ke stamped his feet in anger.

At this time, Joel finally heard the guards' shouts and armor, and was indeed attracted. Joel sighed secretly, and then he looked at the two girls in front of him without any intention, "Please get out of here immediately." Joel said coldly. This time he not only said, but walked towards them with Hemi's hand.

"Don't come here first!" Ding Ke held the sword nervously with both hands, but Joel ignored her at all and planned to walk directly by her.

"Hey!" Ding Ke seemed to have noticed Joel's intention, and then he started angrily, "Don't ignore me!"

Joel sighed, really not wanting to pay attention to her, but he turned his head and wanted to say something to her, but just as he turned his head.

"Be careful!" The girl named Mo Zi held the exotic blade and rushed over from Ding Ke. Joel rushed towards the other side of Ding Ke without hesitation.

Ding Ke was frightened by this sudden situation. She almost raised her sword and slashed at Joel who was rushing towards her. However, her sixth sense told her that the threat was not here, so she turned her head and the force and speed of her turning almost made her sprain her neck. But after she saw the thing, she immediately forgot these irrelevant trivial matters.

The monster rushed out of the dark alley. It opened its webbed hands and exposed its sharp claws to extend its slender arms towards Ding Ke. The monster had a fish head, a pair of godless but terrifying big eyes. Its limbs were long and swollen, especially its abdomen. Its body was covered with scales like fish scales, and its upper body was almost stained with blood. Its own blood and the blood of the woman it killed before.

Ding Ke was intimidated by the terrifying appearance of the monster rushing out of the darkness. It was like a hideous devil rushing out of hell. Seeing the blood-stained claws reaching towards him, Ding Ke's mind was blank, and he just wanted to scream in surprise.

Then from the corner of her eyes, she saw a ring with pale light spreading on the ground. She subconsciously looked down, but saw a shadow passing through the ring. No, it was the ring moving with the shadow!

But she had not had time to understand what it was, and the ring had already retracted from the shadow's feet like leaked water. It was Joel. At this moment, the black sword in Joel's hand had pierced the monster's fish head, pierced from the left jaw to the right cheek. The monster's outstretched hand suddenly stopped its momentum, and its mouth opened, and the smelly black blood flowed out of its fish's mouth.

It was not until this time that Ding Ke dared to take a step back, and Mozi also stopped.

"Die, dead?" Ding Ke asked in a panic.

Joel did not answer, and then Ding Ke came back to his senses, "What was the one just now?! That white ring?"

Joel drew out the black sword, and then the monster's body collapsed on the ground as if it had lost its strength. Joel retreated repeatedly. No, it was not so easy. Joel thought that this thing was not so easy to die.

At this time, the fire of the guards had illuminated the road here.

"People over there?! What are you doing?!" a captain of a guard shouted, "We just heard a sound from here. What's going on?"

Joel couldn't help but hold the black sword in his hand tightly.
