Contract and the Demon King

Compared with Yue's military vehicle, the six-wheeled large transport armored vehicle that Yate and the others rode was like a majestic dark green behemoth.I thought that the heavy truck would make a disturbing roar when driving, but in fact it was unexpectedly quiet, and it was driving steadily at a safe speed on the flat viaduct.

Because it is a large transport armored vehicle for transporting soldiers, the compartment is designed to be very spacious according to requirements.A group of people from the orphanage sat scattered on the seats in the carriage, Art was sandwiched between Theresa and May, and Haruka, who was wearing a white shirt and black dress, sat next to Theresa.

It is obviously a military vehicle for transporting soldiers, but because today's passengers are very different from those in the past, there is a rare relaxed atmosphere in the vehicle, as if going on a picnic—just as Yao was holding a book borrowed from the dean. While flipping through the book, the movement of turning the pages suddenly stopped.

"Sister Yao, what's wrong?"

Teresa, who was discussing with Art "whether to cheer loudly in the auditorium after the preliminaries start", noticed Haruka's abnormality, and also attracted the attention of Art and Mei.

But Yao didn't speak for a while, she lowered her head, and her face didn't look very good.

"Where is it uncomfortable?" Jianyao asked Yate with a bad face, and then looked at the soldiers sitting in the same carriage as them.Since there are more than a dozen people going out together, and children are the majority, then some necessary and emergency medicines are naturally prepared.Even if it cannot be handled well in the car, the armored car can be driven directly to the nearest hospital.

But Yao shook his head, and closed the book in his hand with a little worry.

"No, it's just that I suddenly felt a little..." Yao stopped after speaking, because even she herself didn't know how to describe that feeling.

"Heart problem?" On the contrary, Yate became more worried when he heard this.Different from ordinary trauma, once there is a problem with an important organ such as the heart or the brain, it will not be cured by a bag and bandage.

"No, it's not sick." Yao said softly, "It's just that just now... I was a little worried about him."

"Sister Yao is worried about Brother Yue." Teresa heaved a sigh of relief, replaced by a smile mixed with clarity and ambiguity:

"Don't worry, it's just a preliminaries. If it's brother Yue, you can definitely pass the test with ease."

"It's not like this."

Theresa was a little confused by Haruka's answer.However, Haruka did not continue to explain, but turned his head to look at the buildings that were constantly receding outside the car window.At the same time, though fleeting.But Art still noticed something strange.

There were not only people from the orphanage in the carriage.After all, it is a military vehicle, so naturally there cannot be half of the official personnel in the vehicle.Therefore, in the first row, the last row and the last row of seats in the carriage, there are four heavily armed soldiers sitting upright.Just when Yao was talking just now, Yate did feel for a moment that the breath of two of the soldiers had changed a little.

He is very familiar with this breath.Because in the past, when practicing gymnastics with the teacher, the teacher would deliberately show this kind of breath at the beginning, and told him that if the upper-middle-level soldiers want to subdue the target instead of killing the target, then it will give people the feeling That's about it.

Arthur, who suddenly understood, opened his eyes wide.But the moment he realized that his expression was unnatural, he forcibly suppressed it.

The atmosphere in the car, like going on a picnic, has not changed, but Art, who can't act rashly now, can't help but feel anxious.

If he's right, they're now—

........................

The flames enveloped the wreckage of the car that had been reduced to a heap of scrap metal.

The building materials that were originally part of the bridge-shaped expressway have now become fragments of different sizes.However, despite such an eye-catching commotion, there wasn't even a single crowd of onlookers gathered around, and even the police officers who maintained the city's law and order didn't appear at all.

And what completely disassembled the military vehicle, which was almost left with only its skeleton, was a blue flame that was completely different from the normal flames burning around it.Under Cang Yan's package, Yue broke through the door and escaped in embarrassment, and fell to the ground with a little unsteady footsteps.

"Ahem... what the hell is this!"

Yue, who stood still, panted heavily.Wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.Although the flames did him no harm at all.However, the explosion at such a close range almost caused him to lose consciousness.If he hadn't tried hard to launch the Cangyan defense at the last moment, he might have been killed by the bomb now.

Even now, Yue felt the continuous pain from his internal organs, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.As for the bones, there seems to be no problem, at least not broken.

Anyway, we still need to move now——Thinking like this, Yue ignored the wreckage of the military vehicle that was still burning.Go in the opposite direction...

With a sound of "jumping!", a pit with a diameter of about one decimeter appeared at Yue's feet.

"Hold on! This is the final warning!"

The shooter raised the rifle-shaped wingsuit in his hand and shouted sharply.As if it had been planned long ago, at the same time as the voice of the shooter sounded.Soldiers wearing the same equipment quickly rushed out from every hidden corner, and without exception raised their rifle-shaped wingsuits to aim at the target, with an expression that they would immediately pull the trigger as long as the target moved slightly.

"We have received reports of unidentified members of terrorist groups infiltrating Karal, now slowly lay down their weapons or shoot them to death."

It seemed that one of the soldiers in the lead said loudly.It took two seconds for Yue to realize that the "unidentified member of a terrorist organization" mentioned by the other party was referring to himself.

"I am a member of a terrorist organization? What are you kidding!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and put down your weapons!"

What the soldier was referring to was the pure white double-edged sword that Yue didn't forget to take away when he jumped out. It had been burned by the fire, but the sword and scabbard had no trace of blackening at all, and it felt like a new product.

It's just that Yue at this time has no time to take care of these, but is thinking at full speed about what misunderstanding has occurred.First of all, the reason why he came to the urban area was of course not because he wanted to engage in any terrorist activities, but because he wanted to participate in the preliminaries of the tournament.It's just that the car suddenly exploded halfway, and a certain driver jumped out of the car to escape, and when he was dying and escaped from the car, these inexplicable soldiers were so fast that they couldn't be described as teleportation. The passing speed suddenly rushed to the scene.

Although he was very reluctant to think so, but after combining these factors, there was only one possibility that appeared in front of him.

"Betrayed... No, I wasn't a companion in the first place, so it can't be called a betrayal." Yue sighed deeply, and unexpectedly there was no feeling of anger in her heart, and at the same time, the hand holding the scabbard also There is no intention of letting go.

"Are you deaf? Put down your weapons!"

"In other words, is someone from the military trying to kill me? Or someone who can make this happen."

With a gunshot, the energy bullet formed by the condensed wing energy flew past Yue's face, leaving a shallow bloodstain on his face.But Yue was unmoved by this, and looked at the soldier who shot with a look that was not so much calm but rather dehumanized, leaving only complete reason and wisdom, which made a certain root in the soldier's heart The string couldn't help but tense up.

Seeing that the opponent had no intention of surrendering, it looked like the leading soldier raised his hand to issue an order.More than twenty rifle-shaped wingsuits were pulled at the same time, and energy bullets were fired towards the target overwhelmingly.And it's not a one-shot escape, but a continuous firing with the momentum of suppressing firepower.

Located in the center of the firepower, the blue flames formed a hemispherical barrier to block all the energy bombs.It's just that the power that wasn't used for defense in the first place couldn't fully defend against the energy bullets under the intensive firepower. From time to time, one or two energy bullets weakened by Cang Yan penetrated the barrier and shot into the interior.

Until one or two weaker soldiers half-kneeled on the ground because they were too tired, the flame barrier suddenly burst like a bubble, but when the soldiers turned their eyes to the inside of the remaining flame circle——

"It's gone? How is it possible!" The team leader opened his eyes wide, but looking around, the target that should have been standing in front of him was indeed gone.The team leader motioned for two soldiers to come forward to check, but found nothing abnormal at all.

"Cut, have you escaped?"

The leader who stepped forward was a little unwilling. It was indeed beyond his expectation that he could escape under such circumstances. However, after the explosion and attack just now, the other party should also be seriously injured. As long as he immediately asks for support and proceeds Carpet search, it is not difficult to catch it——

However, the change came very suddenly.

Just as the leader turned around and took out the military communication terminal, and was about to contact the military headquarters to request reinforcements and start a carpet search, the road under his feet suddenly shook violently.Before he and the soldiers he led had time to stand firm, the ground under their feet suddenly shattered.Cang Yan broke through the ground and erupted like magma, swallowing the soldiers who had no time to escape, leaving not even a trace of flesh and blood.

"This..." The team leader froze in place for a while: "How could..."

Even the team leader, who was used to seeing casualties after fighting winged beasts all the year round, was dumbfounded after seeing this scene.His hand holding the gun began to tremble slightly, but he could only stand there numbly, standing in the only "safe" zone that had not been affected in this blue sea of ​​flames, and he had no countermeasures in his mind.

Right in front of the team leader, Yue, who reappeared, ignored the surrounding tragedy, and said to the team leader who was still holding a military communication interrupt:

"Now, we should be able to have a good talk." (To be continued...)
