Chapter 169
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
"No~ Are you still worried that I will do something to them? I'm such a person who doesn't remember old feelings?"
Youna's terrified appearance made Luo Mo rudely rubbing her head and messing up her short red hair.
"That's not the case! I have always believed in the teacher! It's just.... After all, the teacher is an angel and has his own responsibilities. Will he be forced to..."
"Don't worry about meaningless hearts, I have always valued harmony, and I would never be rough with my disciples anyway."
Hearing his sworn assurance, Yuna breathed a sigh of relief, and Ge Ye nodded indifferently. Get out of here quickly.
.................
.................
The brave girls, except for the three who firmly want to protect mankind and the world, the desire of the remaining three to save the world and protect others is not so strong.
And two months ago, they all carried out a certain degree of exploration outside the enchantment with Luo Mo, and even went to Tokyo.
The conclusion is that the number of star debris is already so high that there can be no survivors in the outside world.
However, in order to inspire the people of Shikoku, Taisha broadcasted on the news for several days, Tokyo and Nagoya are actively resisting, just wait for the moment of counterattack.
The completely impossible thing was hyped up, it only sent chills down the backs of the girls, and the Shikoku, who suspected that they would use this kind of lie sooner or later, could no longer support it, and the world seemed to have reached the point of no return.
At the same time, except for Utano, Wakaba, and Yuna, the other three heroic girls are all wondering why they are fighting and why they are fighting for human beings.
After all, it has been more than a year since the initial battle, but the battle is not very easy. If it wasn't for Luo Mo's timely rescue more than half a year ago, the incomplete constellation would have killed Qiuzi and Xing.
But even if they were rescued in time, Yuuna, who decisively used the stronger elf "Shouji Douji" to possess her body, stayed in the hospital for three months and two months respectively.
And in the battle where even his own life could not be guaranteed, the sea of trees was naturally damaged to a considerable extent, causing a large number of natural disasters and accidents in the present world.
Repeated occurrences of accidents and disasters caused by the influence of the sea of trees made it impossible for Taisha to hide this information. It was announced that the frequent disasters and accidents were caused by star dust, which made the masses change their praise for the brave in the past. criticism.
Incompetence, rubbish, worthless, vases, tax thieves...and so on and so forth.
And risking her life to use the power of the elf to consume her own body in exchange for such a "betrayal" is fatal to an immature girl who is already suffering from filth and mental weakness.
Qiuzi's personality is lively and cheerful, and some are boyish but won't give up easily. Xing's personality is very similar to that of ordinary girls. To be honest, she is not suitable for fighting, but even so, she has been fighting hard.
Of course, the two of them attached great importance to their companions, but they attached more importance to each other. Normally, this should not be the case, but... A new oracle was issued by the divine tree a while ago.
In the sky... there are countless stars that drown the sky. The number of stars is unprecedented. Some of the stars continue to overlap and become more radiant. They fall like meteors, eroding the earth, and constantly destroying.
....Although the content of the oracle is very vague, it can be judged from experience that more stardust will appear, and "the stars continue to overlap and become more radiant" means that stronger constellations will appear.
The Taisha also came to the conclusion that an unprecedented new constellation with a higher degree of completion will appear in this attack, and even the end point of the evolution of the stardust... That is, a complete constellation.
This also makes the nerves of the girls tense more than usual, and they have always maintained a state of tension, and the endless and constantly strengthening enemies make negativity and despair inevitable.
It's meaningless to do this repeatedly, but at the cost of your own pain, to buy some time for a world that doesn't recognize you, even if you can escape, it's a matter of course for Luo Mo.
.................
On a stretched black limousine.
The witch who had been in charge of contacting Luo Mo, Satomi Shiho turned his eyes to him from time to time, and after a long while he couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Mo, you don't seem to be surprised by your student's defection? You are not angry...why? Is this angel's.... personality?"
"No, it's my personality."
"...You already knew that something like this would happen, right?"
"Who knows."
"You really know!" After getting along for so long, it was naturally impossible for her not to understand, what Luo Mo meant by this, she couldn't control her anger and subconsciously stood up, leaned her body and patted on the tea table in the middle: "Since you know Why not stop it! Don't prevent such a situation from happening in advance?!"
"Why stop it?"
"Of course it's for humans!"
"For the sake of human beings...Oh, that's a good way to say it." Luo Mo indifferently showed a sarcastic smile.
He was indifferent to the accusations of inaction, and Satoshi wanted to say something when he saw that he was angry, but the driver behind him coughed very deliberately.
This reminded her immediately of the identity of the other party, and it was definitely not an existence that she could blame.
Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only sit down slowly again, heaved a deep breath, and pressed his hands on the coffee table to put his forehead on it:
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive.... Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Mo didn't look at her, just looked at the changing scenery outside the window and closed his eyes silently.
In this way, the vehicle drove quietly for more than 40 minutes, and came to an old era on the outskirts of the city...or in front of the abandoned building complex that the stardust first attacked four years ago.
More than a dozen police cars have been parked at the entrance, and a large number of police officers have blocked the building complex on the periphery. Those who didn't know it thought they were arresting some serious criminals.
The brave girls have a good fighting ability, but unfortunately, anti-reconnaissance and the like are just the same as ordinary girls... No, it has not been long before they left Penglai City.
Satomi Shiho in the car stretched out his hand, pointed to the abandoned building not far away, and said:
"According to the investigation of the police dog and the testimony of passers-by, the two brave men are here, and there is no sign of movement yet. They did not take their mobile phones away. For the training of cold weapon masters, it is not easy to get uniform without a gun, and rash arrest may injure them, so it is more appropriate for you to do it."
He nodded indifferently, got out of the car and walked towards the ruins of the building, and said without looking back:
"I'll go talk to them first, you guys just wait here first, you are not allowed to act without my order."
"But if the brave man escapes, we..." The senior police officer on the side frowned unconsciously when he heard it. He wanted to oppose him, stopped and turned his head, smiling:
"I will solve this problem. You only need to be optimistic about this place. If you mess up.... You should be ready to go to the kingdom of heaven in advance."
"you....!"
"Mr. Police Officer, let's listen to him for now."
Seeing that the dispute was about to appear, Satomi Shiho hurriedly stepped forward and showed the police officer the certificate from the Taisha.
In the current big shrine, the true god that is backed by the sacred tree has become a detached organization that overrides the government, and the police officer has no choice but to endure and let all his subordinates retire temporarily.
.................
.................
Step into the abandoned building complex alone.
Looking around, you can see that this may have been used as a refugee camp in the past, with children's graffiti everywhere on the walls, as well as random littering.
A gust of wind blew, and a white plastic bag was blown up and floated past him.
"Qiu Zi, Xing, which building are you two in? Come out by yourself? It's pointless to hide and seek, here is such a big place and there are still police outside, you can't escape, let's have a good talk about what to do. ?"
Standing in the middle of the abandoned buildings, he shouted loudly towards the surroundings, and then he just stood there, closing his eyes and waiting.
However, three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes passed by like this, and there was still no sign of anyone coming.
"You really have become bad boys~ I clearly gave you the opportunity... Since you didn't plan to take the opportunity I gave you, don't blame me for being ruthless as a teacher, and then you will be caught when I catch you. Go directly to be cannon fodder."
He deliberately chose quite intense words, and it was precisely these words that landed, and he noticed that there was a hostile mood in the ruins.
"Sure enough, the child can't help being excited." Shaking his head with a laugh, he walked straight into the inconspicuous abandoned grocery store on the left.
Inside the grocery store.
The two teenage girls who had fled here were hiding in a large refrigerator that looked a bit like a bathtub, and was covered with shelves that served as bunkers.
Although this refrigerator is a little small, the ball is also small, and it is not too crowded.
The two huddled inside face to face, holding each other's hands nervously.
Originally, when Luo Mo started shouting, Xing hesitated to discuss something with Qiuzi, but Qiuzi shook his head forcefully at her, indicating that she should not speak at will at this time, so as not to be discovered by Luo Mo outside.
But then Luo Mo's speech made Xing's face even darker. Qiu Zi couldn't help but want to stand up and scolded him for his behavior of slaughtering the donkey without showing any sympathy.
.... Under normal circumstances, of course they don't think Luo Mo is such a person, but now any dark thoughts in their hearts will be infinitely magnified except each other, and there is really no way to trust them.
And at this time, as if following the footsteps of their heartbeats, they gradually walked towards this humble grocery store from the street entrance.
"—?!"
Da, da, da... The slight sound of sneakers stepping on the ground was obviously not concealed in this quiet environment, and the infinitely amplified footsteps gradually approached.
Qiu Zi desperately suppressed the beating of his heart, took a deep breath "hiss" and inhaled the cold air in the store into his lungs, trying to calm himself down, but the five fingers of the other hand that were free, still tightly gripped when he was running away. The fruit knife that I took away by the way.
The palm of the hand holding the fruit knife was so nervous that it was sweating.
Blindly fleeing, it is impossible to escape this encirclement, the only option is to take Luo Mo as a hostage, but this idea came up, and she couldn't help feeling ridiculous.
After all, using Luo Mo as a hostage to threaten the police to retreat is basically as ridiculous as taking the SWAT as a hostage and threatening the onlookers outside when surrounded by SWAT.
It's just that it's not in a hurry, it seems to be deliberately giving them psychological pressure, but the approaching footsteps make her really unable to laugh.
In the face of a battle that he knows he has absolutely no chance of winning, but absolutely cannot fail... Qiu Zi felt too deep and too much despair, and the mental problems that were already seriously damaged could not be controlled to become more serious. .
.................
"—I found it~"
The game of peekaboo ended quickly, and a familiar and smiling voice came from a very close position after a while.
Along with it, there was no peace of mind from the past, but an unknown fear from nowhere, which quickly dominated the hearts of the girls.
Teeth chattering, breathing shivering, and the heart seems to be bursting out of the ribs.
(—If you want to fight, you must fight, or Xing will be sent to the battlefield!)
Losing the power of a hero, facing an enemy that is absolutely impossible to defeat, Qiu Zi glanced at the person who had sworn four years ago that he would absolutely protect the person he was in, but he still summoned up the courage to stand up suddenly, and turned the upper shelf toward him. Pushing in Luo Mo's direction, he gritted his teeth and waved his short blade at the familiar figure, shouting:
"—Apricot! Run away!!!"
"Oh~ Are the sisters in love? It's really touching."
Luo Mo kicked the shelf away with a random kick, and grabbed the fruit knife with the blade in his backhand, and then punched the girl's stomach a little.
"—Gu?!" The ball, who wanted to buy Xing's time, curled up like a boiled prawn and fell to the ground, and Luo Mo also squatted on the ground and shook his head and sighed:
"Even I didn't expect that the scene of master and apprentice killing each other would come so quickly, it's really regrettable... and you actually really want to kill me, you're going to cry for the master's chill. ?—Xing, you don't want to do the wicked murder of a master, do you?"
"...?!"
At the end of the speech, Luo Mo raised his head and looked at the blond girl who came out of the refrigerator and was about to smash down with an iron bar.
The smiling eyes made Xing's whole body tremble, she pursed her lips and slowly put down the iron rod, and opened her hands to block the ball in front of him:
"....It's all my fault. Senior Qiuzi escaped because of me. I will go back to fight. Please spare Senior Qiuqiu."
The two girls looked like neither of them wanted to abandon the other, so Luo Mo couldn't help shaking his head and said: "These sisters are very affectionate, just looking at them makes people itch all over, otherwise I will be merciful and allow you Is it okay for one of you to leave?"
"—Really?! Thank you! Teacher! Thank you!!" Qiuzi couldn't help thanking him overjoyedly, and urged: "Xing! Hurry up and go!"
"...Teacher, you are really funny."
It was obvious that he had violated the rules, but Xing stood on the spot with anger, and even stared at him like a ghost.
No matter what, Kyouko had to protect Kyo even if she sacrificed herself, and Kyo naturally couldn't leave such Kyoko and run away by herself.
This act of allowing only one person to live is tantamount to being more cruel than killing the survivor. It's not that Qiuzi doesn't understand this, and he hopes that they can leave here together.
It is a pity that the wishes and hopes of the two are meaningless in the face of overwhelming power, and the only thing they can do is to seize the chance to survive under the mercy.
"Xing! You idiot.... Really.... I don't understand the truth, didn't I let you escape?! Go back and you will be finished!"
"The one who doesn't understand the truth is the senior Qiuzi. You are here, and I will never run away!"
Even if the ball on the ground kept berating her, Xing had no idea of leaving, but stubbornly stood in front of her and glared at the wicked Luo Mo.
"Oh, don't stare at me like this, I was just joking~ How could I have the heart to separate your sisters? You also know that I kill mice in groups, because I can't bear them to experience the sadness of losing their loved ones. Only the mouse family can be reunited, and I am even more so with people."
He said that he didn't like to be stared at like this, but he spread his hands with a smile, and said something that made the two girls chill from the bottom of their hearts.
But the two, who have become similar to ordinary girls, could not even protest in the face of an invincible existence like him. They could only clench their fists in their hearts unwillingly, thinking about ways to win each other's life.
Unfortunately, that way simply doesn't exist.
....................
In midsummer, it still makes people feel a chill, as if the abandoned buildings abandoned by time are silent.
Faced with an opponent whose disparity is too large, even the challenge is only self-inflicted humiliation. The girls feel hopeless in their anxiety, but Luo Mo suddenly smiled and shrugged, breaking the lingering silence:
"Just now is a conventional joke, don't pay too much attention to it, but then again, why did you two run away? You shouldn't run away because you are afraid of death, right? You also know that if there are no heroes to fight, this Shikoku is also finished, especially since Kyouko wants to protect Xing, you should fight, Xing also wants to fight if you don't want Kyouko to die, don't you fear fighting now?"
"Scared! Of course....!" Xing said in a low tone while helping Kumiko stand up from the ground:
"But what I'm afraid of is not death or anything, I....what I'm afraid of is—I am no longer myself! Senior Qiuzi escaped with me because of me!"
"apricot....."
