Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

In the fight just now, he was kicked by Lixiang.

Although the body can be said to have been tempered thousands of times, it can be regarded as superb with eight chopping knives in one hand.But Wang Yaqiao's body is still a little bit less interesting than the kick of the former walker girl who can kick back the boulder falling from the sky.

Although he was only kicked and Lixiang still kept his hand, Wang Yaqiao's injury was not serious.However, the man ignored the physical pain, raised his double axes and continued to slash at Lixiang.

Li Xiang took the initiative to meet him, and the dagger in his hand collided with the man's double axes.The metal and iron clanging sounded non-stop, and the sparks generated by the collision of metal and metal were particularly conspicuous in the slightly dim room.

"[Happiness of all peoples]...is indeed an attractive wish. But [dreams that can only be dreamed in a world without dreams and futures]? Isn't that right? It shouldn't be like this?"

At the moment when the dagger collided with the double axes countless times, Lixiang seized the opportunity to kick upwards by relying on her soft body unique to an underage girl.

The heel of the girl's boots hit the end of the handle of the hand ax that the man just swung down. Wang Yaqiao, who had been injured by Lixiang's kick before, lost his strength and was unable to hold the axe, so the ax flew out of his hand. stuck in the beams of the roof.

"If you only pursue the happiness of the people in this world without dreams and future, wouldn't that mean you [admitted defeat]? To this [world]!"

While kicking the ax flying, Lixiang shouted,

"Indeed, if the world is ruled by an absolutely fair machine, many things will become simpler. There will be no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, no possibility of labor not being paid reasonably, no need to worry about good intentions being rewarded with evil, and no need to care about the so-called Injustice... But, you are not looking for a safe haven, are you? What you are pursuing is not a dream that will be shattered at any time, right?"

That being said, this singularity is indeed attractive.

Although dreams and the future are lost because the world is dominated by robots, but because the world is dominated by robots, everything that makes people live as if they are dead will no longer exist.

"I hate those too."

Li Xiang took a step forward while saying so, and Wang Yaqiao himself took a step back for some reason.

At this moment, the offense and defense changed positions.

Although it is unbelievable, [Momentum] is actually a very important part of the battle.It can even be exaggerated to say that in many cases [momentum] can determine the outcome of a battle.

The girl's aura overwhelmed the man at this moment.

"Unforgiving misfortune, meaningless suffering, and worthless despair. I hate these things too, to the point where I can say I hate them. The happiness of all peoples is really a good wish... So, don't let it stop at In the mirror and in the water."

Lixiang's dagger cut off the handle of Wang Yaqiao's other axe, and then she threw away the dagger in her hand, and started a simple hand-to-hand fight with Wang Yaqiao.

"You also understand, right? If you just want to escape from the rusty world, of course you can hide here, but because your wish is the happiness of others, you have to go back to normal human affairs, go back and talk to this satisfied man. fight in a world overflowing with misery."

Relying on her petite figure, the girl avoided Wang Yaqiao's fist, and slapped the place where she kicked before.

"That's called 【Heaven is dead, Huang Tian should stand】?"

The impact of the palm strike penetrated Wang Yaqiao's abdomen that was kicked by Lixiang before, and at this moment, Wang Yaqiao had no fighting spirit.

"...He actually hit the wound. He's not very young, so his hands are really dark."

So Wang Yaqiao said so, and after taking two steps back, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

■At the same time...

Although Lixiang has successfully brought Wang Yaqiao down, the two-on-one fight between Mustard Chizi and Matthew Zhangjiao is not over yet.

However, this is not because Zhang Jiao is a fierce man who can hit two without losing the wind.Although he has more experience in [fighting without relying on special abilities] than everyone present, but he himself is not good at martial arts.

It was Mustard and Mash himself that went wrong.

If the two of them could truly fight two against one, the battle would have ended long ago.

The cooperation between the two is to put it nicely, but there is no cooperation at all.They were, to put it harshly, completely unconsciously holding each other back.

The essence of Mash is "Guardian". When she fights with others, she will subconsciously stand on the side of protecting others and actively cooperate with others.But mustard seeds...how should I put it?

It was as if the concept of "relying on others" didn't exist at all, and her fighting style was so reckless that even vampires would think it was a bit too much.In addition, when fighting hand-to-hand, Kua Hinako mainly relies on [lifting heavy objects and smashing them with inhuman strength] this kind of move is omnipotent but regardless of teammates, the two people who are passively hindered because of their personal characteristics In the end, he was suppressed by Zhang Jiao alone with an axe.

Mustard frowned anxiously.

To put it bluntly, she just wants to chop off Zhang Jiao quickly so that she can find Xiang Yu's body.But the more irritable she is, the more reckless she will play, and the more reckless she will be, the more she will hold back each other with Ma Xiu, resulting in being suppressed by Zhang Jiao relying on experience.

It can't go on like this.

Mustard Chiko, who was in a hurry to find Xiang Yu's body, thought so.

In order to find a way, she began to look around, and then she happened to see Tachika who had ended her battle, and the twin swords hanging on the wall not far from Tachika as decorations.

"Hey! Junior!"

Then, while dismantling the chandelier and throwing it as a weapon, Kabanko shouted,

"Give me the two swords over there!"

"this one?"

Lixiang, who was going to help Matthew and Kazuko, immediately ran over to take down the two swords hanging on the wall after hearing what Kazuko said.

These two swords are obviously not cultural relics but imitations for decoration, because they are obviously made of modern technology and steel.

"Go on! Do you want to help, Senior Kazakhs?"

"No, since you won the battle, hurry up and find Master Xiang Yu's body."

Akabino caught the twin swords thrown by Tachika, and said so while skillfully shaking off the scabbards of the twin swords.

"And Mash, you go too, just leave Zhang Jiao to me."

"Eh? Ms. Akuba, you—"

Matthew was surprised and wanted to say something, but before she could finish speaking, Mustard Chick passed her with two swords and slashed at Zhang Jiao.

Someone once said that there is a high wall between unarmed and armed.

This statement is also valid for non-humans.

Kazuko's battle with two swords has become more organized, no longer simply relying on inhuman strange strength like when she was unarmed.The combat power seemed to have increased a lot, and even suppressed Zhang Jiao in an instant.

"She looks like a young girl, but she is so proficient in swordsmanship? It is impossible for a person who is good at weapons to not know how to punch, but you are good at weapons when you obviously only use brute force in different fists and feet. You are really a strange young man. "

"It's not [Wu], it's [Dance]. I don't have the need or interest to learn human martial arts at all. I'm just doing [Sword Dance] now—and besides, I'm much older than you, brat."

It seems that there is no problem with Jia Chizi alone, so Mash also put away the shield and ran to find Xiang Yu's body with Li Xiang—to be precise, they were looking for the door.

Wang Yaqiao had said before that Xiang Yu's body was behind the wall, and Lixiang and Matthew were now looking for a way to the secret room behind the wall.

It took some time, but the two finally found the door to the secret chamber.Hiding the entrance to the secret room is an ultra-traditional wooden mechanical mechanism, the kind that is very common in martial arts movies.Because the mechanism for opening the door was used by Kabanko as a flying prop to hit people, the two spent a lot of time opening the door.

The two immediately ran into the secret room.

The interior space of the secret room is not small, but the huge space is only used to place one thing.That thing is a mechanical right arm connected to a part of the body - that is Xiang Yu's right arm.

boom! !

Accompanied by such a loud noise, a yellow figure flew in from the door and hit the high platform where Xiang Yu's right arm was placed.The glass cover protecting the right arm was shattered, and the right arm fell from the high platform.

However, the right arm did not fall to the ground.Before it hit the ground, Mustard child ran in from outside the secret room and caught the right arm.

"...Master Xiang Yu."

Seeing that Kua Hinako, who was holding Xiang Yu's right arm, seemed to be about to recall her youth who didn't know how long ago, Li Xiang turned her gaze to the figure who hit the high platform.

Needless to say, it was Zhang Jiao.A steel sword was inserted into his spiritual core, it seemed that he would have to return to the Seat of Heroes soon.

Apart from the sword, Zhang Jiao didn't have any particularly serious injuries. It seems that the cause of his defeat was not simply a lack of force.But now that he has been pierced through the spiritual core by the steel sword, it doesn't matter how he lost.

"Are you awake? Great virtuous teacher."

"Ah, it's a beautiful dream. But... if there is a next time, I'd better not rely on the environmental advantages of the singularity, and try my best again in a world full of suffering."

Zhang Jiao bent the corners of his eyes and showed a kind smile.

"Since I lost, let me give you a little hint to move forward like the losers written in modern scripts, Chaldeans—you should have thought about it? Why did you divide the body of the Overlord of Western Chu into five parts? Five big families."

"...do you know the answer?"

"I don't know. But after all, I have also learned three or two spells, and I can see something - the corpse is not a corpse, it is a [heart]."

"……heart?"

"It's not Western magic, but Daoism. This is a conspiracy. [Take away the heart] is the so-called [killing]. The five families exist for the body of the Western Chu Overlord, and they also exist for you who will eventually come. .”

Zhang Jiao said,

"You are killing the earth, and you have to do it. After all, collecting the body of the Overlord of Western Chu is the only thing you can do—this is the so-called Yangmou."

20. Tao follows nature

■Miscellaneous Ax Club·Hidden Chamber

"It's not Western magic. You must be vaguely aware of some mystery in this mechanical country, right? The source of the mystery is Taoism, and it is an old antique before the thought disk was laid."

Zhang Jiao said so.

The information spit out from his mouth even stunned Musta Chiko holding Xiang Yu's arm. No one would have thought that in a place like [America, which is about to be ruled by robots and turned into a mechanical city], they would hear [Tao Law] the word.

Taoism, immortality, spells—in short, that's what Zhang Jiao was talking about.

"A corpse is not a corpse, but a [heart]. The act of taking the heart is equivalent to killing the owner of the heart. The five families were established for the corpse of the Overlord of Western Chu, and the five families were also established for you who will eventually come."

"...For us? Who is the owner of the heart? Kevin, who is behind the scenes, what exactly does he want us to do?"

"I don't know, but what he wants you to do is probably to let you collect the body of the Overlord of Western Chu from the hands of the five major families. This is your only clue. This is the so-called Yang conspiracy."

Zhang Jiao closed his eyes.

"The owner of the heart is the country itself. You are now killing the earth again and again, and you have to do it. That's all I can see... It's heartbroken because the characters in the story are different from what you imagined Shaken, I am far from mature. But the beauty is just like the legend, hahahaha."

Laughing, Zhang Jiao just returned to the Heroic Seat.It seems that the main reason why he would lose to Mustard is that he realized something that he shouldn't be aware of and was exposed to the mental shock because of this, such as who was Mustard before he became Mustard.

"Senior Mustard."

After Zhang Jiao turned into dust of light and dissipated in the air, Lixiang said to Kazuko who was holding Xiang Yu's arm,

"We should go, there are still three families."

■New York Chinatown

Maybe it was because he had seen Xiang Yu's head before and had mental resistance?

Although Tachika called Akashiko several times in the Cave Bear Alliance and there was no response, but this time Akabako Tachika stood up as soon as she called her.

When leaving the base of the Miscellaneous Axe Society, Kaban took the two swords with their scabbards by the way.According to Kabanko, it is more convenient to hold a weapon than bare hands when you need to fight.

The members of the Miscellaneous Axe Club who were responsible for intercepting Lixiang and his party on the second floor but were beaten to the ground have already woken up.

Although they were awake, they had absolutely no intention of fighting a second round.Even knowing that Zhang Jiao was sent back to the Seat of Heroes by Mustard Chick and their boss was beaten to the ground by Li Xiang, they didn't intend to take revenge at all.

Rather, it was just the opposite, they sent the three of them out the door as if Lixiang and the others were VIPs.

According to a younger brother from the Miscellaneous Axe Club, this seems to be something that Zhang Jiao and Wang Yaqiao have ordered in advance.Says something like "If the Chaldeans come out alive, then they're the most important guests of the Zacharyx." Or something.

Maxwell's Demon had been waiting on the street during this time, somehow surrounded by a group of children.The children were tugging at his suit and the cloak he was holding, and he was so devastated trying to get rid of these children that he didn't even realize that Lixiang and others had come out.

"Unexpectedly, Maxwell, you still have the talent to attract children. Could it be because you are the embodiment of dreams or something?"

Hearing Tachika's voice, Maxwell's demon realized that everyone had come out of the headquarters of the Ax Society, so he straightened his sunglasses and asked everyone for help.

"[Dreams have a natural attraction to children]? Although it is a reasonable guess, but before putting forward various conjectures... Master, can you save me? My pants were almost ripped off before."

"...You are so attractive to children, I really didn't expect that."

Li Xiang said so with a suppressed smile, and then walked over on his own initiative.

Li Xiang, who had stayed in a church orphanage for a while, still knew a thing or two about coaxing children. She chatted with those children, and finally took out a bunch of candies and made them seem to be entangled with Maxwell. The little children of time went elsewhere.

——After meeting the Elizabeth Girls Group, especially Elisa, Tachika began to carry candy with her, but this was the first time she used it.

Finally getting rid of the little ghosts surrounding him, the Maxwell demon pushed his sunglasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

"...Children are really scary."

This fictitious demon, who is essentially the crystallization of dreams, said in a tone as if he had discovered some cosmic truth.

I don't know what those brats did to him to make him feel this way.

Kabanko took the chain used to drag the container where Xiang Yu's body was placed from Maxwell's demon, and put the right arm he just got into it.

Although three-fifths of his body hadn't been recovered, Xiang Yu, who had one arm, one head and one body, could already see some of the mightiness he had when he was alive.Seeing Xiang Yu like this, Maxwell Demon, who was arranging his suit, couldn't help but whispered to himself: "Since Xiang Yu is a robot, then... it's just been divided into five pieces, is it really dead?"

■New York Sewer · Secret Base No. [-]

As the saying goes, change comes later.

Although the members of the Miscellaneous Axe Society seem to have no intention of catching their enemies in the world, if they continue to stay on the ground, someone may come here specially.So, everyone immediately went to the No. [-] secret base under the leadership of Maxwell's demon.

It is said to be [Secret Base No. [-]], but it is actually a secret base that is far enough away from Chinatown and close enough to the five major families as the next destination. The secret base itself is actually not sorted.

Because today's time is still early, everyone plans to set off for the next five major families immediately after taking a short break.During the break, Lixiang turned on his personal terminal and discussed with everyone in Chaldea the information Zhang Jiao gave at the end.
