I, Iron Pilot, work as a teacher in Azure Files

She didn't lie when she and the teacher took the initiative to ask Ying to support Hanako and Xiaochun. She really knew Saori well enough, and Saori knew her well enough.

But even so, there is still a sense of restraint between the two. After all, before meeting Luo Lin, all the combat skills Bai Zhouzi learned were taught to her by Saori alone.

The method of arranging booby traps, the selection of mine points, various essentials that require special attention in guerrilla warfare...such combat habits were formally developed under the leadership and influence of Saori.

Or to put it another way, Saori is called Xiao Azusa's introductory instructor in combat, but it is not too much in the slightest.

"When I was training against Arius before, Saori could always see through every step I thought... Even though I was ready to meet her, I still feel very nervous now. '

The white-haired girl was thinking quietly in her heart, she didn't even dare to be distracted, she was still concentrating on observing the surrounding environment.

The surrounding area was too quiet, so quiet that it seemed that Saori had left without a sound.

It seems that I have stepped into another completely different time and space without knowing when, and people can't help but wonder if this is the place where the fierce exchange of fire was still happening before.

But this kind of quietness might not be a good thing, at least for the current Bai Zhouzi.

Saori is different from her. What she is best at is actually not the guerrilla warfare of setting up booby traps in advance, using the environment and the enemy to consume and surprise the enemy, but engaging the enemy head-on at short and medium distances in street fighting.

But even though they have different tendencies, Bai Zhouzi also knows very well that Saori's ability in guerrilla combat is not weaker than himself at all.

Under this premise, a sufficiently quiet atmosphere undoubtedly means that it is ready to go, it means that the sharp "bear trap" has been opened in an unknown corner, and it means that the "hunter" is shining indifferently in the dark light gray pupils.

"Clap."

There was a very inconspicuous collision sound, like the sound made by a small stone being randomly fiddled with by the wind, but it made Bai Zhouzi, who was already in a battle state, turn around in an instant, lowered his body and at the same time shot his gun sharply. cross-finger—

As far as the eye can see, there is an empty space next to the half-collapsed wall, and the wooden cabinets that have been decayed to the point of failure are lying weakly on the ground. A half-way familiar figure.

'Trap?Or a mistake? '

The girl's brows were furrowed. Although she was uncertain about the real situation, she didn't dare to have any hesitation. She stood up slowly and decisively, avoiding all suspicious-looking large objects as much as possible with her steps, and circled around bit by bit. A circle, moving clockwise towards the place where the sound was made.

In fact, she never considered the option that Saori had already left, because she knew that unless reinforcements from the Disciplinary Committee and the Justice Realization Committee arrived ahead of schedule, Saori would never leave unless there was a winner or loser with herself.

Ever since she betrayed Arius, she must have been simmering with anger in her heart. If she doesn't vent it now, she might not have the chance to fight one-on-one like this in the future.

"Ding!"

The dark green ellipsoid flew out from an unknown corner, and bounced to the wall with a pleasant and clear sound, but it was different from before, this time Bai Zhouzi, who was highly concentrated before he even had time to land, Turn sideways and kick away.

But after this short moment of subconscious distraction, the girl with an extremely fast reaction speed suddenly realized one thing——

Saori... After all, she is too aware of every reaction she will make.

"Bang bang bang!"

Deafening gunshots exploded inside the semi-airtight building, and the bullets fired with a soul-shaking scream pierced the turbid air in front of them, and went straight to Baizhou Pavilion.

"...!"

Suddenly, the girl who was suffering from pain in her back gritted her teeth instinctively, and immediately threw herself to the side, with the soles of her feet stuck on the side of the cabinet that fell on the ground, and kicked hard, accompanied by the ear-piercing rubbing and moaning of being overwhelmed. The cabinet kicked in front of him.

Continuous sawdust splashed in all directions, hitting her head and face, and even her long white hair was stained with a layer of dirty dust, and there was a little stale musty smell in the hair.

But at this moment, Xiao Zi obviously didn't have time to take care of these insignificant matters. She gritted her teeth and arched her body forward. She directly put the entire body of the gun horizontally on the cabinet, and pulled the trigger forcefully in the direction of the bullet without even looking at it. .

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The hot shell casings ejected from the ejection window and landed on the muddy ground, ringing lightly like a holy bell representing peace.

While firing the gun repressively, Bai Zhouzi got up in a bit of embarrassment, lowered his body and escaped from behind the cabinet that couldn't block the bullets at all, and walked forward quickly, with his eyes and the half-leaning behind the wall. Saori meets by chance.

'Obviously I have been restraining and changing my habits, but have I been seized the opportunity...'

Her footsteps stopped hurriedly, she leaned her back on the concrete pillar, the muzzle of the gun was slightly flattened, and panting uncontrollably, she moved her palm on the rifle bone and touched the loaded magazine.

As if there was some kind of unspeakable tacit understanding, the firepower of both sides suddenly stopped.

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke wafts through the building, like a distorted ghost with a sneering smile. Malicious palms wipe the tips of the girls' noses little by little, lingering the breath full of desire for destruction into the depths of their minds.

"You had a great time in Holy Trinity, Bai Zhouzi."

Saori's familiar voice, which she hadn't seen for a long time, came to Bai Zhouzi's ears, causing her to stop breathing for a moment. Without saying a word, she held the fishbone again with her small hand, and listened silently.

"Have a good time over there, right? Living with someone you like and yearn for, living with someone who understands you? It's nothingness."

"I thought that after seeing the scene just now, you would rush straight forward without thinking about the consequences... It seems that you have not grown up at all, at least you are not as naive as before."

"...that's not what I'm good at."

Xiao Zi's voice was low, but her footsteps were inadvertently staggered, and her body changed position from her back to the bunker. She stood up slightly, with her left shoulder slightly pressed against the wall of the concrete pillar.

"If it's possible, I'd rather be able to launch a sneak attack when you're not prepared. Defeating Saori you head-on...is something I haven't considered."

"What is Arius' reason for attacking the ancient temple? Beheading the leaders of Holy Trinity and Gehenna? Or is it to create panic?"

"I'm not stupid enough to tell you everything, traitor, before the plan succeeds."

Saori smiled coldly. In Bai Zhouzi's senses, although there were no footsteps, the distance between the two of them was undoubtedly getting closer.

"Although I know you have that stubborn character from beginning to end, I still want to remind you."

"You'd better remind me, Bai Zhouzi, we are the only ones who can understand and accept you, and only Arius can take us in."

"You have escaped from reality, instigated by that despicable adult around you, deceived by sweet lies, and immersed in a beautiful dream constructed by a false world."

"This weakness caused you to be defeated one after another when facing the truth of the world, and it is also doomed that you will not be able to see everything clearly. Let me tell you one last time. It is still too late to return to the Arius special team."

"The teacher never provoked me, Saori."

Bai Zhouzi pursed his lips, all the muscles in his body tensed up, his head was tilted slightly, trying to spy out the situation outside the bunker.

"All decisions are made by me according to my own will. The hatred for Holy Trinity and Ghenna is not our thing. Even if nothingness is the truth of everything, we should not be in the final outcome Give up struggling before it comes.”

"Oh, this is really..."

Hearing that Saori's voice seemed to be close to his ears and then stopped, Xiao Zi suddenly took a deep breath, and suddenly stretched out his rifle horizontally with both hands, poked out from behind the concrete pillar, and retreated in the opposite direction. body.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Successive strings of flames suddenly bloomed into gorgeous flowers from the muzzle of the gun. Saori's counterattack came almost at the same time, and even adopted the same close-range shooting method as Bai Zhouzi, but his body was still under the fierce pressure. , letting the dust that cracked in front of him splash violently.

"Bang bang!"

A bouncing bullet flew past her ear and screamed sharply, a strand of hair in front of the white-haired girl's temple snapped in response, she subconsciously tilted her head, suddenly half-kneeled and suddenly pressed down, half of her body leaned out of the cover outside.

The butt of the rifle in his hand drew a standard "V" shape on his chest, and it was neatly replaced in front of the other shoulder, and immediately pointed sideways——

In the next moment, she faced Saori's muzzle at the same timing, who also chose to switch shoulders, and who was also preparing to shoot from a low position.

"Crack!"

The strange crisp sound of hanging up the phone lighted up at the same time on the rifles in the hands of both of them. The muzzle of the gun that was spewing out flames immediately stopped moving. The movements of the two girls stopped, and the pupils colliding in the air suddenly tightened!

As soon as Saori retracted her arm, she gave up the rifle without any hesitation, and groped directly for the pistol hanging on her waist.

Bai Zhouzi looked at Saori, who was only three or five meters away from him, and his movements of pulling out the pistols at the same time stopped suddenly. A strange determination flashed in his white and purple pupils. In the direction of weaving, he rushed over.

"?!"

Saori frowned, and her body's reaction speed was quite fast. After pulling out the gun, she suddenly retracted her raised arm. While standing sideways and retreating with her feet separated, the hand holding the gun was directly attached to the In front of the chest—

Then, pull the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of three pistol bullets hit her chest, knocking Bai Zhouzi staggeringly. After wiping her palm on the ground, she forced herself up, pulled into the distance while rolling and crawling, stretched out her left hand and pressed it firmly. On the sleeve of the yarn pistol, push it back with all your strength!

"Crack!"

The ejected shells were forcefully trapped in the ejection window, instantly blocking the firing function of the whole gun, Saori's face changed slightly, she bent her arms into an elbow without hesitation, and smashed towards Bai Zhouzi's neck. go down.

However, after losing her initiative, her movements were still slow.

"Wow!"

A handful of sand dust that was held in the palm of the right hand suddenly rose up, overwhelmingly splashing on Saori's face.

Even before her brain had time to react, her body's instinct to avoid had already made her close her eyes. Even though she had already sensed that something was going to happen the moment she lost her vision, it was still too late.

Xiao Azusa's hand on the pistol suddenly stretched upwards, and suddenly pressed Saori's arm downwards. At the same time, her steps were staggered until it reached the outside of her ankle. She suddenly turned sideways, raised her leg and kicked her calf. superior.

Saori's body staggered almost unconsciously as her leg bones hurt, and the white-haired girl narrowed her eyes, as if she was using some kind of muscle memory that had been cultivated, and her left and right fists clashed, It quickly hit Saori's waist.

"Tsk...!"

Suppressing the itchy discomfort in her eyes, and feeling the dull pain of being hit back from her body, Saori took a deep breath, and her weakened calf stood up again. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt There was a sudden pull on the shoulder.

As soon as her body movements stopped, she was forced to turn her head back, and Bai Zhouzi's exquisite face and a rapidly enlarged fist appeared in front of her somewhat blurred vision.

"boom!"

The dull sound of physical collision echoed in the building, Saori let out a muffled snort, and the whole person backed away three or five steps, and the half-face mask on his face fell to the ground with a "click". Dark blue hair hangs down from both sides of the cheeks, blocking the girl's pretty side face.

Bai Zhouzi on the other side didn't let down her vigilance because of the momentary success. After she succeeded in a melee blow, she almost immediately rushed over in sync.

"Bang!"

"cough--"

With strength in both hands, Saori, who hadn't recovered from the shock caused by the blow, was directly pushed by Xiao Azusa and hit the wall hard, the back of her head was in close contact with the cold wall, she opened her mouth in a panic With a cough, his light gray pupils slightly raised, and he looked at the white-haired girl in front of him.

"despair."

The safety of the pistol was pushed away by the thumb, and it was almost on the forehead of Saori. Bai Zhouzi bent his arms and spread his elbows to the side. .

A little sweat flowed down her cheeks, around the corners of her eyes, and made dirty marks on her little gray face.

Saori narrowed her eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned open the corners of her mouth with some oozing red marks, and said faintly:

"You have become stronger, Bai Zhouzi."

Chapter 220 IX It's About to Rain (Two in One)

"Bai Zhouzi, you have become stronger."

Seeing the familiar face of the dark blue-haired girl with a calm expression still oozing blood from the corner of her mouth, and her indifferent voice echoing in his ears, Bai Zhouzi suddenly felt an inexplicable complex emotion in his heart.

Angry?

Probably not, she is very clear about the operating mechanism of Arius. Many things cannot be decided by the students themselves, not to mention that in the eyes of Madam, it may be the most valuable and handy special team.

Sympathy?

Presumably not, she doesn't think she has any qualifications to sympathize with Saori, or to say that she has any qualifications to sympathize with the special team and everyone who is still in Arius.

After all... she is the "symbol of reconciliation", the only lucky one who was voluntarily sent out of Arius.

In fact, looking back and thinking about it now, Bai Zhouzi can still find that even after living in Arius for so long, he still doesn't understand this seemingly small autonomous region.

I don’t know where it came from, and at what point in time did it have the cruise missile technology; I don’t know what process, what principle, and when the bomb that can destroy the halo was produced...

Even the "hatred" learned from Arius, I don't know who should belong to it.

So if she had to name the emotion in her heart now, the most appropriate one might be "weakness".

I don't know where the things that I saw everywhere around me came from;

Don't know if your current idea will be successfully realized;

Even if he wins the battle, he doesn't know how to make Saori listen to his words.

Such a sudden surge of heavy and powerless feelings flooded unconsciously, completely enveloping the girl.

"Aren't you going to kill me, Bai Zhouzi? The halo-destroying bomb that you didn't use to deal with Shengya should still be on you now."

Saori raised her light gray pupils slightly, and put her eyes on Bai Zhouzi's lightly biting lips, and she suddenly let out an inexplicable smile.

"I know what you're thinking. Except for Madam, no one can guarantee that they know all the changes that have taken place secretly in Arius, even I am no exception—or to put it another way, how much we can know depends entirely on Madam's willingness. Tell us how much."

"Stop paying attention to those useless things, Bai Zhouzi, I told you a long time ago, what drives people to kill is nothing but pure killing intent."

"Whether it's a missile or a bomb that destroys the halo, in the end it's just an indifferent prop. What really matters is the will in your heart."

She paused, staring at Bai Zhouzi's face that suddenly changed slightly, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more ironic.

"You want to stop what happened in the ancient temple, right? There is no good solution to this matter, except to kill me."

"Come on, prove to me that you are not a weak person who just escapes, and show me your determination."

"...Don't change the subject, I've already beaten you, Saori, so I'll ask again."

Bai Zhouzi's delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and she pressed closer to Saori. The muzzle of the gun in her hand pressed against her forehead suddenly exerted force, forcing her head to tilt back a little bit again. .
