Foreigner's Journey

After another weapon strike, the shock bounced back, and the giant black horse took the opportunity to raise its head and sweep towards Claude's waist with the scythe horn on top of its head.

At this time, a beam of pure magic power flew past Claude from far and near, and accurately hit the head of the giant black horse.The black horse neighed fiercely and swayed back, even the ghost Eric had to draw back his double-edged battle ax to distance himself.

In the distance, the top of the metal long staff in Alice's hand exudes glistening light, and the magic beam continuously bombards the black giant horse, winning a precious respite for Claude.

This is because she uses her own magic power to move the flow of life in the surrounding land, and uses the pure energy in it to converge into a highly condensed pure magic beam. The power cannot be underestimated.

This is also the magical power application technique of the ancient Settra tribe that she developed with the help of Heather - [Judgment Beam].

The two cooperated more and more tacitly. One was far away, one was close, one was attacking one with magic, and Eric gradually became unable to resist.And Heather just sat on the top of the car statue not far away, watching the battle cooperation of the protagonist duo in the original work.

In Heather's view, Claude's fighting style is still very jerky, as if he is copying the memory template in his mind.But it is undeniable that Claude's physical fitness is excellent, and the scars on the surface of his body have shown signs of scabbing in the battle, and the huge metal giant sword [Destruction Sword] is also incomparably braver than him. The fighting style is very good.

As for Alice, she appeared to be quite intelligent.In the battle, he found out the skill of flexibly using mind energy and magic power conversion. He can always use extremely accurate ice magic and judgment beams to create opportunities for Claude or interrupt Eligo's attack.She used to pay too much attention to the use of Nian ability itself, but she didn't know that [Nian Qi] itself is a very efficient combat resource system. Can also deal with most enemies.

clang!

On the battlefield in the distance, Claude swung his favorite skill [Father Slash], and hit the giant black horse at the front of the evil spirit carriage, and a large number of blue light spots scattered under the night sky.

The scythe horn on the top of the giant black horse's head was already crumbling under the impact of Alice's [Judgment Beam]. Only half of the head remains.

Seeing this, Alice immediately seized the opportunity to mobilize all the magic power and mind energy in her body, and raised the metal long staff to point it at the ghost Eligo.With the flash of light at the end of the stick, a silver beam of magic power shot across the night sky and hit Eligo's chest.

Click!Click!

Eric wailed sharply, trying to block the magic beam with his double-edged battle axe, but Claude swung his sword and directly pressed the axe blade to prevent it from succeeding.

The metal armor on the evil spirit's chest continued to crack under the impact of the magic beam.In the end, the magic light beam blasted through its body, and this powerful evil spirit that has been entrenched in the train graveyard for a long time and wreaked havoc on the world finally ushered in its final ending.

The linen cloak gradually turned into ashes and dissipated in the night wind as if it had been scorched, and Eric's broken body that looked like a metal skull under the cloak gradually collapsed and dissipated.As the last piece of the evil spirit dissipated in the air, the surrounding black mist gradually dissipated, revealing the huge magic furnace and steel disc above the head, and only the broken double-edged battle ax lay quietly on the ground .

Alice sat down on the ground all of a sudden, she was really exhausted, and almost all the magic power and thoughts in her body were exhausted.And Claude also stood there leaning on a giant sword and panting heavily. He was very tired from the continuous battles since the slums of Wufan Street, let alone defeated an extremely difficult and powerful enemy just now.

Heather jumped down from the carriage, walked to the double-edged battle ax and carefully looked at the weapon held by the evil spirit.Well, although it has been damaged, it should be a very good weapon if it is properly modified. It just happens to be made into a staff and used as a new weapon for Alice.

Suddenly, one after another sack ghosts emerged from the crowd, slowly rising towards the sky accompanied by dots of faint blue light.

"The evil spirits that bound them are dead, and they are free at last."

Alice stood up and looked up at the sky, clasped her hands in front of her body and smiled happily.

A small sack ghost floated in front of her. The ghost's face was painted with an abstract crying face. It was the child who had warned Alice and Claude before.It nodded slowly to Alice, and after Alice waved goodbye, it also rose to the sky to join the large team of other ghosts.

Eventually, all the sack ghosts reverted to dim ghostly figures and dissipated into the night sky.

Alice closed her eyes, opened them slowly after a while, and looked at Heather: "It's great that they have all returned to the stream of life."

Heather had already dismantled the broken double-edged battle ax to pieces, leaving only the handle suitable for Alice to hold. He put the handle on his shoulder and nodded to Alice and Claude. : "Although the process was a bit ugly, in general you two did a good job."

Hearing Heather's rare compliment, Alice glanced back at Claude triumphantly, who also nodded a little embarrassedly.

When the few people were about to chat for a few words, Heather suddenly narrowed her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction of Qifan Street.

Shinra Corporation... are you looking for death! ?

###Chapter 55 Defending the Seventh Steel Pillar###

There are eight huge pillars in Midgar. These pillars are made of steel as a whole. The length of each pillar is 300 meters. Everything in an international super city.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for this super huge steel pillar to collapse, because the urban planning management department has already calculated and planned all possible situations in the early stage of urban construction.

But precisely because of this meticulousness, the urban planning management department left a secret door in accordance with the requirements of Shinra's high-level executives when designing these steel pillars, which is the [safety self-destruct system].By entering the password password, this system will directly overload the main transportation pipeline of the magic liquid in the steel support, and then trigger a series of violent explosions at each key node of the steel support, achieving the purpose of destroying the steel support in the shortest possible time.

Once the steel pillar is destroyed, the steel disc corresponding to the fan area will collapse and fall as a whole, causing a catastrophe.Both the upper city above the disc and the slums below would all be destroyed.

It is said that this plan was originally a final response strategy to deal with the enemy's invasion into the disk. It belongs to the type of killing the enemy with one thousand and losing two thousand at the expense of the gains. It will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.Because no one mentioned this system anymore, the existence of [Security Self-Destruction System] was gradually forgotten within Shinra Company over time.

However, as long as a thing exists, it will have a day when it will work.

At this time, all the lights on the No. [-] steel pillar under the night sky were turned on, and all the surrounding searchlights were aimed at the steel pillar.

I saw people flashing past on the metal stairs between the floors of the steel pillars, accompanied by intensive gunshots and shouts.

Several armed helicopters with the logo of the Shinra company hovered around the steel support, and while illuminating the fighting figures with lights, they continued to broadcast the lines that had been set in a loop through the loudspeaker equipment——

[Terrorist organization Xue Beng, listen up!We know your goal is the pillars of Sector [-]!Shinra will never give in to terrorist threats!You are now asked to leave the pillar immediately! 】

[Repeat, Shinra will never give in to terrorist threats!You are now asked to leave the pillar immediately! 】

At the same time, all the TV channels in Midgar were switched to the live broadcast of Shinra law enforcement officers. When the people heard the gunshots from the TV and the shouts of the Shinra helicopter, they thought of the No. [-] and the The No. [-] magic furnace exploded, and he couldn't help but burst into anger.

As everyone knows, the Avalanche Organization, which is now fighting desperately, is the righteous party that is doing its best to protect the steel pillars from being destroyed, and the Shinra Corporation is only using the public's hatred for Avalanche to unite the people of Midgar and expand its army. Let the 'stinky gutter rats' who cannot create more value in the slums disappear from the world.

It can be said that Xue Beng had already fallen into the trap of Shinra Company from the very beginning when he was preparing to destroy the No. [-] Mako Furnace, because the plan of [Original Avalanche] was what Shinra deliberately asked Barrett and the others to find.

Intensive gunshots erupted in the space inside the steel pillar, and Barrett, who had many scars on his body, roared angrily and raised the rotary machine gun mounted on his right arm, shooting at the incoming Shinra soldiers.

Beside him, Biggs, who was himself wounded by the gun, leaned out from the makeshift cover and kept firing with his pistol.

Jesse huddled behind the temporary bunker on the other side, blindly threw a self-modified grenade in the direction of the gunfire without looking at it.The grenade landed at the feet of those Shinra soldiers with astonishing accuracy, and the flames of the explosion instantly engulfed them.

"Barrett! We're running out of ammo and grenades!"

The ashen-faced Jesse wiped his cheeks indiscriminately, and shouted at Barrett: "Why hasn't Wage come here yet!?"

"I don't know! I hope I didn't encounter Shinra soldiers and was stopped." Barrett turned over the temporary bunker and saw that the steel bracket in front had been blasted by a grenade, so he had to look around for other entrances to the upper floor.

Jesse took the time to fasten all the grenades in front of him to his tactical belt, reloaded the submachine gun with clips, and fastened the loaded pistol behind his waist.Then she trotted up to Biggs with a submachine gun on her shoulders, half-kneeled in front of him worriedly and asked, "Biggs, can you still hold on?"

"Hey...cough...who do you think I am?"

Biggs laughed twice with a pale face, and got up staggeringly: "I'm fine, I can still pass the grenade and load the bullets for you. You must not let Shinra destroy the No. [-] steel pillar, otherwise the slums of Qifan Street It's over, we don't have the face to see Boss Heather."

"Stupid, we were already dead at that time, no matter how powerful Heather is, he can't chase us into the river of life and scold us, right?"

Jessie smiled, and her expression became a little sad. She just found her favorite boyfriend, and her beautiful life is about to begin. She didn't expect to die in this place. The most annoying thing is that she didn't see Crowe when she died. De last side.

Everything was fine, Barrett and the others temporarily lived in the basement of Seventh Heaven, Biggs was recuperating, and Jesse and Tifa cooked dinner for everyone.Suddenly, they heard the announcement of the Shinra helicopter from the sky, and only then realized with a pale face that they were being used by the Shinra company.

The Shinra company is fully prepared in all aspects, and specially sent Shinra soldiers dressed up like Barrett and their slum costumes to run in the steel brackets and pretend to have a gun battle with the Shinra army.In other words, regardless of whether Barrett and the others go to the Iron Pillar to throw themselves into the net, Shinra will detonate the No. [-] Pillar as originally planned, and place all charges on Avalanche and Wutai.

That oven pizza should have been baked in the oven, right?When people like myself rushed out, they were so anxious that they didn't even turn off the pot.

The hateful Shinra Corporation, why did such a cruel thing!

At this time, Barrett shouted not far away: "There is a road here! Come!"

They rushed up the metal stairs all the way, and along the way they saw the corpses of many soldiers dressed in slums, mixed with the corpses of Shinra soldiers.

Of course, Barrett and the others were not the only ones fighting desperately to protect the steel pillars. The headquarters of the Avalanche Association was also in the slums of Qifanjie, so they naturally heard the broadcast of Shinra Corporation.

Although the idea is not in line with Barrett's, the goal of opposing Shinra's point is the same regardless of the head office or the branch, and they must not sit back and watch the No. [-] steel disc fall, otherwise everything they cherish will be destroyed.

After Barrett and the others rushed up to the second floor, they encountered another wave of Shinra soldiers, but Jessie noticed that there were many Shinra soldiers around with huge claw marks on the corpses of them during the battle.

"It's Jin'oga! Tifa and Jin'oga are still alive and faster than us!" Jesse huddled behind the cover to avoid a series of gunshots, and shouted at Barrett with a face full of joy.In fact, she was worried to death, afraid that when she walked up, she would see Tifa's body appearing in the corner.fine……

Barrett also looked relieved. He was about to say something when his feet became unsteady and he almost fell.

The surrounding steel structures were shaking violently amidst a tooth-piercing creaking sound.The three of them looked at each other with ugly faces, and their hearts kept sinking.

Something happened up there!

### Take a day off###

"I left my hometown with my luggage... I often dream of my beloved girl... I am far away and my heart is in my hometown..."

The heavy rain came and went quickly, and the humid air was filled with a slightly earthy smell, and the surface of the bluestone-paved street reflected the patter of sunlight.

At the door of a second-floor grocery store on the street, a young man leaning on a broom was humming a song that no one could understand, looking lazily at the people coming and going on the street.

This is a young man about 1.8 meters tall, with a slender figure that is more standard than the model, and the coarse handyman's clothes on his body look like a tailor-made exquisite handmade suit.His black hair over the ears is matte like a crow feather, and the upper half of his face is firmly blocked by the old-fashioned thick bangs hairstyle. Coupled with the large black-rimmed glasses that are aesthetically worrisome, his face can hardly be seen clearly What does it look like.

After finishing the sweeping work with almost zero progress, the young man turned his head to look at the grocery store behind him, the outdated facade, the poor variety of goods, the single-digit daily passenger flow, and the crumbling broken wooden signboard, signboard The cartoon octopus drawn above is so discolored that it is almost impossible to distinguish its shape.

This made the youth wonder how long the grocery store could last.

"Heather! Don't be lazy at the door, come and move the goods!"

The dull voice of tobacco and alcohol came out of the door: "Lazy, don't you want a salary?"

The young man named Heather's face collapsed, he reluctantly propped his broom against the wall, clapped the ashes on his hands and walked towards the house, and the lyrics he hummed changed:

"Holding wowotou in my hand... There is not a drop of oil in the dish..."

Jingle Bell!

When the store door opened, a crisp bell rang.

As soon as you enter the door, there are six rows of shelves, two of which are relatively new.Nearly 1/3 of the shelves are empty, and there are also some inferior daily necessities, cheap instant snacks, and some wilted vegetables and fruits. Really valuable goods such as cigarettes, wines and the like are all locked in light blue and thick. Inside the counter made of glass.

The fan above his head was spinning feebly, making a creaking noise, and Heather, who pushed open the store door, focused his attention on the figure behind the counter.

Daddy Jack, the owner of the 'Octopus Jack Department Store'.

"What are you looking at? Why, Young Master Hai lost his memory after sweeping the floor?"

His fat belly stretched his greasy plaid shirt tightly, his gray beard was like a mess of wires tangled in a ball, and the hair was so sparse that it was enough to cover his shiny, shiny hair. With a skull and a textbook-like rosacea, the first impression of this chunky old man is not so good.

Father Jack was half paralyzed on the dilapidated sofa behind the counter, his short, stubby fingers like carrots pointed to the warehouse behind him, his tobacco and alcohol voice chattered mercilessly: "You have the advantage of being strong, boy. Hurry up and bring ten boxes of Silo Sparkling Water out."

"Ten boxes? Do you want to sell our store to 2009, old man? It's Dadamir in 82, and you are Silu in 99, awesome!"

The language was switched from Chinese to the common language of the world, and Heather complained while walking towards the back warehouse: "I've helped you to think about the advertising words - 99 years of Silu sparkling water, ten years of precipitation, noble experience, splendid The incense blows your face, allowing you to experience all kinds of hospitals."

"It rhymes... Where did you come from so much nonsense?"

After recollecting it, Father Jack shouted angrily, and saw Heather slip into the warehouse before shaking his head: "It's a great guy, but it's a pity that he has a long mouth."

One late night two months ago, when I was driving to buy goods, I found this kid in a coma lying on the side of the road wearing pajamas.

Yes, if he was left in place like this, in the morning, I am afraid that his remains could only be found on the operating table of illegal black doctors.

Although he was stunned for a long time after waking up, I have to say that this kid does have a lot of brute force.Relying on the identity of the savior, coupled with the management of food and housing and low wages, I hired this bastard who claimed to have amnesia without signing any contract, and contracted all the chores in the store to him.

Then he found out that he had earned it.

His strength is terrifying, he never seems to be tired, and he is not very particular about food and accommodation. Although he is not very respectful to himself, he can basically complete the tasks assigned to him. If there is anything wrong with it, he has a large appetite and mouth. too broken.

What?Salary is too low?

A suspicious illiterate of unknown origin who claims to have amnesia, who manages his own food and manages himself, and who pays 1 monks a month is already a saint in the world, okay?

For a time, Father Jack was moved by his kindness. He wiped the corner of his eyes and took out half a bottle of whisky from under the cabinet, and took a sip with his head up.
