I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

Ai Lian's pupils were covered by anger and turned into bright red. She kicked Cheng Rang who was leaning over vigorously, and kept backing until her back hit the wall, and he controlled her hands when there was no way to retreat.

The girl screaming hysterically in front of her was just a victim, a human girl with no combat power, and it was impossible for Cheng Rang to use any violent means to stop her movements.

The muscles on her thin arms are constantly convulsing due to the effect of the drug, and she wants to break free from Cheng Rang's control. In order to prevent her from hurting himself, Cheng Rang can only firmly hold onto Ailian's neck, which he wants to keep tearing and clasping. wrist.

After a stalemate like this for a long time, it seemed that Ailian had exhausted all her strength.She finally limp and fell against the wall.

"One by one, all of them are beautiful. They are all outsiders... Then you will become a jellyfish instead of my father?"

"...Obviously, I don't even know what happened to us..."

"...encountered...what..."

The red light in Ailian's eyes gradually extinguished, her pupils slackened, and tears kept gushing from her eye sockets, blurring away the thick and inferior makeup on her face.

She let the tears fall silently, choked up and said:

"I... wish I hadn't been born."

Cheng Rang's gaze was complicated, and there was either sympathy or pity in it, but he couldn't understand the girl's heart.

I haven't had such an experience with her, so I can't understand it.

Even her own sympathy may be a kind of harm to her who wants to be strong.

The exhausted girl was tortured to the point of fainting by the drugs, and she curled up on the ground as thin and thin, as if she was lighter than a feather.

Feeling that as soon as the wind blows in this city, she will sway in the air along with the wind and dust.

The horny Vulcan, the drug dealer ran away in front of his eyes, but Cheng Rang couldn't leave the girl in front of him to chase alone, so he could only temporarily hope for the clues from Jeter and Zhabu.

At least get her home first.

......

Sergey, who opened the door, saw his daughter who had been sent back in Cheng Rang's arms after losing consciousness, his feet were so soft that he almost fell down.

Sergey stroked Ailian's peaceful sleeping face with a painful expression, knelt down beside the bed, and tightly held her hand.

"Ellen... my child! What's wrong with her?"

Cheng Rang opened his mouth to explain, but the grieving Sergey seemed unable to listen at all. He could only give up, close his mouth, and leave a quiet space.

Leave Sergey and his daughter alone for a while.

[Dispel (primary) - Cannot specify the target to use: Ailian (Human-Neutral) This unit is not a friendly unit. 】

[Dispel (primary) - Cannot specify the target to use: Sergey (human-neutral) This unit is not a friendly unit. 】

The system skill that was tried again did not take effect, Cheng Rang could only sigh silently.

If you can't rely on system skills to heal the two, you can only ask a professional to come...

"I'll go out and make a phone call..." Cheng Rang whispered hello to Sergey and walked out of the room.

Although Leticia's Time Curse can perfectly heal the two of them, it is impossible for her to do it. The huge price of wasting life force for two unknown human beings is simply not suitable for that guy.

After all, this is just a transaction for Leticia.Although she can be arrogant towards her own people, there is no doubt that Sergey and Ailian are strangers to her.

Then the only option is to call Elaine, even if the patron boss orders it, that's the only way to do it. I hope she has enough black technology.

During this process, before pressing the dial button and putting the phone to the ear, there was a sudden change in the room.

Ai Lian seemed to wake up, and suddenly the sound of her struggling on the bed came from the room, accompanied by screams of pain.

"Ailian! Ailian!"

"What's wrong?!" Cheng Rang slammed into the door without thinking about answering the phone.

Ai Lian, who had already fainted on the bed, woke up again at this time, her body twisted as if she had suffered great pain, and she screamed.

Even, accompanied by bright flames, gushed out of her screaming and wide-open mouth.

------

"This is the latest drug [Vulcan Horn] to appear on the black market."

"As the name suggests, it is said that it can bring people a strong pleasure as if every cell is burning. However, in actual consumption, there is a certain probability that the whole body will really catch fire."

"That's why it looks like this. It's not that he suffered severe pain before he died, but..."

"Suffering indescribable pleasure, and then burning out."

.....

Damn it! !

"Mr. Sergey, get away from Ailian!" Cheng Rang yelled and grabbed Sergey. At the same time, Ailian, who was struggling on the bed, violently burst into flames with astonishing temperature.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The daughter who was burning with flames screamed, but Sergey, who was pulled away from her by Cheng Rang, broke free suddenly.

Yes, break free.

At that moment, Sergey burst out with strength beyond Cheng Rang's expectations, and broke free from his arms.

"Ellen!"

Then he gritted his teeth without saying a word, and threw himself at the burning Ailian with his body.

"Huh-uh!!!"

The man's jellyfish-like body boiled in an instant as if it had been fried, and the high-temperature flames mercilessly roasted it, making a crackling and scalp-numbing sound.

But he didn't let go of the arms that hugged his daughter at all, and vowed to use his ugly, monster-like body full of water to extinguish the flames.

Ailian is Sergey's only light in this world.

Even if he would be burned to death, he resolutely chose to rush to the light and protect his daughter with his body.

At this moment, he didn't think at all.

The indebtedness to her daughter, the guilt towards her, the apology I didn't have time to say, and the deepest love all turned into boiling steam and suppressed painful groans bursting out of Sergey's body.

Cheng Rang, who witnessed all this, was even stunned——

He's just an ordinary person, how dare he...! ?

Isn't he... not afraid of death?

boom! ! !

This idea was interrupted by a violent fireball explosion mixed with thick smoke that broke through the windows and eaves in an instant, and then the water flow that was more spectacular than the fireball smashed down the entire building, and when it came into contact with the flames, it turned into white steam rising in the night sky of the foggy city .

Like a moth going to a fire, how can it be stingy to burn your body?

——Facing what Sergey did, Cheng Rang didn't need to know the answer at all.

Chapter 31 The Long Bitter Night

The siren of the ambulance tore through the silence of 59th Street in Bill Dartney. As Sergey was carried on a stretcher, Esteves, who came after hearing the news, could not say anything about the scene in front of him for a long time. talk.

"Cheng...this is—"

"Sorry... I was distracted."

The water flow that broke down the building was generated by Cheng Rang using the Nyarlathotep dress to build the [Water Tree Seedling], but it was obviously a step late, and the situation was urgent and the flow rate was not controlled properly, destroying Sergey's only residence .

"In short, you have done a good job. At least the disaster has not expanded..." Esteves looked at the FDHL fire truck aside, "More than half of the fire hydrants here in the old Xilin District are not even connected to water, and the roads are in disrepair. There are weeds and garbage everywhere, and if the fire spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

“…”

"Leave it to me." Esteves boarded the ambulance with the other medical staff.

After the dying Sergey saw Dr. Esteves in a white coat, the first words he squeezed out of his throat were still: "Please...save my daughter."

Looking at Sergey, who was severely burned on at least half of his body, Estevez replied, "Don't worry, thanks to the [water] in your body, she will recover."

"...she will definitely recover!"

The doctor was kind, Esteves sniffed hard and repeated.

After hearing these words, Sergey's eyes, which seemed to be shining with the last light, finally felt relieved. They were covered by mist, and the middle-aged man burst into sobs on the stretcher.

His seared lips trembled upward.

"It's okay...it's fine....it's fine..."

boom.

As the door of the ambulance compartment slammed shut, the flashing police lights and the shrill whistle gradually faded away into the night.Only Cheng Rang was left in front of the ruins.

The cell phone in Cheng Rang's hand still showed that the call was in progress. After the side was completely quiet, Elaine's doubtful voice came out from inside.

"Hello? Boss, what's the matter over there? Hello...?"

Cheng Rang put the phone to his ear.

"Eileen."

"Ah, boss, you finally spoke... What's the matter so late?"

"I have something to ask you..." Cheng Rang paused, then changed his words.

"No, this is an order, you listen to me."

......

In the research institute, Elaine listened to the serious tone on the other side of the phone, slowly lowered her crossed legs, and after quietly listening to Cheng Rang's narration, she nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission."

The second call was from Zab—

"Hey, Cheng! The fish is on the bait, come here quickly. We are about to trade, and the goods are already in our hands."

"Understood, where?"

"Dog eats dog. The drug dealers pretended to be ordinary people and contacted us half an hour ago. They are now in the VIP room on the second floor. We are about to become [friends] with them and prepare to [draw the net]."

"Got it, I'll be there soon."

Cheng Rang's unusually calm tone seemed to suppress the chills that made him feel chilly all over his body. The moment he hung up the phone, his figure disappeared in place.

5 minute later.

In the VIP room, Zabu, Jeter and Chengrang pushed the door open and entered.

On the sofa in the room sat a gray-haired man in a suit and leather shoes, and beside him were two bodyguards wearing masks.

Judging from the size, even one of them may not be human.

The conversation went smoothly, and the other party didn't find anything wrong because of Zabu's real role.

It would be better to say... In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I heard that you are from the entertainment industry? Next time, introduce some artists to me?"

"Hey~ wrap it on me!" Zabu smiled cheaply and gestured with his hands on his chest, "I'll find a few girls as old as Nako to accompany you like this~ and then add this medicine, it must be so refreshing——"

While speaking, Zhabu took out the medicine he bought from the plastic bag and was about to put it into his mouth.It looks like an old medicine jar.

The other party stopped immediately: "Ah, no, no, it can't be used here."

"It's okay, I know how to use it~" Zhabu waved his hands in an indifferent tone.

"No, it's just in case."

The gray-haired man said: "There are also cases of sudden spontaneous combustion at inexplicable timing, so we must be careful."

Zabu clenched his teeth tightly, almost wanting to burn the pill in his hand to ashes on the spot, but the last reason told him that he could not do so for the time being.

"If you know this, why sell it?"

From the beginning to the end, the gray-haired man kept a nonchalant tone. He said flatly, "If you ask me, I can't tell..."

Zabu's tone changed: "It's really incomprehensible. The so-called drug (harmony) product is to make those addicts hover on the edge of life and death, so that they can drain all their oil and water!"

"The efficiency of making money is too low for a thing like this that accidentally burns out customers. Is the producer out of his mind..."

Zhabu suddenly emphasized his tone: "It's really stupid!"

After hearing this, the gray-haired man just smiled and said, "But what if the purpose is not for money?"
