Blade and Swift

Du Yachen told Yan Xichen that he would come to pick him up in the evening to meet some watchmen.

The news of his accident at the Cain Bone Explosion Site spread like wildfire, and not only ordinary residents knew about it, but the watchmen were also very concerned about it.Fortunately, Du Yachen had already said hello, and the watchmen's attitude towards Yan Xichen was quite gentle.

The reason why I came to pick him up at night was that Du Yachen had to go out to do errands during the day.Originally, he wanted to bring Yan Xichen with him, but considering that the recent rumors were getting more and more popular, Yan Xichen decided not to show his face and run around with him for the time being.

After Du Yachen left like this, he didn't come back until the evening.Yan Xichen wrote letters to Duan Mingyi and Duan Yun, but couldn't wait for him to come back, so he decided to go out and post the letter.

He was careless and underestimated the danger of the current situation.

The atmosphere tonight was weird, and Yan Xichen's intuition was already sharp, after walking a few streets, he felt more and more something was wrong, so he decided to leave immediately and go back to his residence.

When he turned his head, the street behind him was empty, and the moonlight and street lamps blended together, forming a silent blue.

Someone is following him, who is it?

Yan Xichen's footsteps became faster and faster, and at this moment he regretted not having a car. Although District S is not that big, it takes at least 10 minutes to walk back to where they live from the North District.

He sprinted.

After turning a few turns in the alley, he rushed to the roof of a building and started running on the rooftop.The wide field of view facilitates observation, while the higher ground is more concealed.While running, Yan Xichen scanned the surrounding streets below with his peripheral vision. Under the dim street lights, he could occasionally see passing black shadows.

It does appear to have been targeted.

After jumping over a gap between buildings, Yan Xichen stopped.

On the roof in front of him stood the silhouette of a person.Although the light was very dim, Yan Xichen recognized him quickly.

"crow."

"Long time no see." Crow grabbed the hat off his head and made an exaggerated gentlemanly gesture, "I didn't expect to meet you here, you seem to be on your way."

Yan Xichen was too lazy to play suspense with him: "I think if you don't show up here, I don't have to hurry. What's your business?"

With the hat on his chest, the crow approached him step by step, grinning: "If you remember well..."

Yan Xichen turned around and raised his hand, the dagger flew out and stuck in the person behind him who was trying to get close to him.As soon as he hit it, the figure behind him fell down.

"Oh, very sharp." Crow clapped his hands pretendingly, "But sometimes light sensitivity is useless."

In sight, people in the front, back, left, and right are climbing up from below, at least a dozen people.

Yan Xichen stood in the night wind, awe-inspiring like a lonely knife.

He thought quickly, how to get out, where to escape to have a chance of winning, and what is the weakness of the crow?

The attack started instantly, and Yan Xichen threw away his gun and drew his sword. On the dark and narrow rooftop covered only by moonlight, close combat was the most beneficial for him.His body bounced out with absolute speed and strength.The sound of metal clashing was particularly loud in the quiet night.

But no one spoke up.Because Yan Xichen cut his throat before the crow's men could roar.

After a few months of recovering his body functions, coupled with the combat experience and sophistication that he remembered, the time he spent in the chaotic zone can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

He turned, leaped, slashed, and his movements were done in one go, and his speed became faster and faster, approaching a limit.

But a steady stream of people climbed up from below, like spiders gushing out of a dark cave.Yan Xichen didn't dare to be distracted, but Shuang Quan was no match for four hands. After nearly a quarter of an hour of fighting, as the number of people gradually increased, it became more and more difficult for him to deal with.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the crow standing aside leisurely, so he knew that the battle was far from over.

This is not the way to go.

Suddenly there was a slight sound in the air, and a stone was thrown into the lake.

The crow standing on the side suddenly fell down, he clutched his shoulder, and blood gushed out between his fingers.He didn't completely fall to the ground, but his eyes became fierce, and he looked around quickly and calmly.

A shadow paced out of the darkness, with charming steps: "Have you ever heard that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind."

The moment he recognized the rose, Yan Xichen stabbed the dagger hard, turned around and ran to a place closer to the rose.

The crow pointed the gun at Yan Xichen fiercely, but Rose moved faster than him, and hit the crow's leg with the next shot.

"It's really careless. There is a man with a gun in front of him. How could he aim the gun at the man with the knife?" The woman smiled softly, but her eyes were filled with chilling coldness. Crow's head, "My gun is fast, do you want to try again?"

"Rose." The crow calmed down instead, "I didn't expect to have a chance to meet again."

Continuous gunshots rang out, but from another direction.

Yan Xichen turned his head, and Luo Sen was standing on the other side of the building, and all the killers around him fell down in response.The killers who hadn't climbed up all drew their guns, but because of Rosen's high vision, not only failed to hit Rosen, but were all shot and fell down.Rosen remained expressionless, and his pace and shooting hand were not flustered. Assassins fell one after another wherever he passed.

Grabbing his breath, Yan Xichen walked slowly and cautiously to Rose's side: "Why are you here?"

"I thought you were smarter?" Rose raised her eyebrows.

Of course, Yan Xichen had a good idea in his heart. Du Yachen said he would come to pick him up at night, but he didn't come back for some reason. It seemed that something difficult happened.Yan Xichen wasn't worried that something would happen to him, after all, he was a one-person high-priced mercenary of Heishui before.During these years in the real world, he must have sharpened a sharper knife than anyone else.

Luo Sen walked to Yan Xichen's side: "The boss asked us to pick you up, and he will meet you directly at the watchman's side."

"Recently, you are in danger. The crow has been eyeing you. You better be careful." Rose coerced the crow to put down all the weapons on his body, and at the same time asked him to step forward and quickly press the crow to the ground.

Rosen patted Yan Xichen on the shoulder: "Don't worry, he has no chance to resist now. Rose will take care of it, you follow me first."

"Wait a minute, I still have something to ask." Yan Xichen pushed away Luo Sen's hand, walked to the crow without looking sideways, and squatted down.

The crow's bright black eyes looked straight at him without any emotion, as if looking at a dead object.

"You're not interested in me." Yan Xichen concluded after looking carefully for a moment, "There is someone else who is interested in me. Who is it? They came here to kill me because they heard rumors about me and Cain ?”

"Your life is worthless if you take it away." The crow replied ambiguously.

"Let me make it clear, don't play tricks." Rose held the crow, and pressed his hand hard on his injured shoulder, "Look, I thought the crows in K area were capable, and now I'm afraid I just need to open it." Gun and you will die. I don’t know how you survived until today with so much hate.”

Yan Xichen kept staring at the crow, and pressed his bloody dagger against his throat: "Tell me, who wants me? Just like he said, I can kill you anytime now."

"Someone." The crow looked back at him coldly, not frightened by the cold dagger, "You will know soon, I hope you can still maintain this calmness by then."

Rosen and Rose pressed the crow to ask questions one after another, but in the end they couldn't ask anything.

Rosen raised his hand and looked at the time: "It's time to go, we don't have much time left."

Yan Xichen took a deep breath and stood up.He didn't intend to continue to press the crow. After all, there are more important things now. Since Rose has caught him, it's not too late to ask him again.

As soon as he turned around, the crow spoke grimly behind him: "Even if a swallow can pass through the rain, it can't fly through the coldest blizzard, or the highest sky."

Pausing for a second, Yan Xichen bent down again and patted the crow's cheek: "Although I don't know where you heard my mercenary code name, but my code name in Eagle Eye is Swift. A swift may not be able to fly." The highest sky, but the fastest flying bird, no one can catch me. Especially a crow."

Yan Xichen quickly went downstairs with Luo Sen, got into the car, lit a cigarette for himself in the wind, and silently looked at the dark and silent city.

"It's your boss who asked you to monitor me?"

Luo Sen glanced at Yan Xichen calmly: "I'm here to pick you up, not to spy on you."

"You're not good at lying." Yan Xichen changed his posture and looked into Rosen's eyes with a cigarette between his fingers. "The trouble you encountered just now barely made any noise. It was still on the roof. You and Rose arrived in time."

Rosen was indeed not good at lying. He silently looked at the road ahead and stopped talking.

"He's worried about your safety." When Yan Xichen was about to finish his cigarette, Rosen said again, "Usually when the boss goes to work, Rose and I are together, but today he left Rose by your side. I'll come back to pick you up." You just saw that Rose left a note on the table, saying that she followed you out. If she hadn't shot just now, I wouldn't have been able to find out your exact location."

"I know, he keeps his promise." Yan Xichen's eyes softened, thinking of the phrase "I will take care of you" that Du Yachen said to him a long time ago.

Five kilometers away, on the roof that Yan Xichen had just left.

Rose neatly tied the crow up, and bandaged his wound indiscriminately: "Seeing that the chaos in the Basilica Theater is about to start, I don't know what kind of trouble you bastard is doing, you said it's time like this, obediently stay in K area Why don't you just stay? I don't understand your stupidity, but I'm still very grateful that you took the initiative to send it to my door, and I solved a troublesome matter for the boss."

"Really?" The crow was bound by the rose like this, but he was not annoyed, he looked calm and calm, "Don't draw conclusions too early."

"I really don't know where you got your confidence, it's at this point..." Rose just wanted to tease and stimulate him, but slowly stopped talking.

At the other end of the rooftop, a figure appeared in the void.

Black silhouettes and distorted lines look like something unreal in this space.

Rose can also be counted as someone who has been in the other world for a while, but she still feels fear and novelty because of the scene in front of her.

It was indeed a person. It was not obvious at first, but now the black figure was walking towards them step by step.Every time he moved forward, his figure became more real, and his arms, legs, and even his hair and face could be seen gradually.Rose was sure that if he walked another ten meters, he could see his face clearly, but the figure stopped after a few steps.

The black smoke from his body drifted away, and his outline was still undulating, just like the outline of flowing water, but his facial features could already be vaguely seen.

The black shadow is a boy, Rose made a judgment, he carefully touched the gun, and stared at the shadow.

The crow lay at her feet, hooked the corners of his mouth, knowing that he was saved.

"who are you?"

"The one who judges and punishes." Unlike the chaotic and fuzzy, its voice is very clear, it is indeed the voice of a young man, and it is even as pleasant as a spring breeze.

Rose kicked the person under him: "The judge? Speak clearly. If you want to take him away, you can avoid it."

"I didn't lie to you." The black shadow boy said again, "You look scared."

"Fart." Rose pointed her gun at him, "Listen to me kid, my sister is very busy now, I don't have time to play with you, so leave by yourself."

Sombra laughed.His face was blurred again because of a smile, but Rose just knew he was laughing.He didn't even move, but just a smile was enough to make her terrified.

"The crow needs to be punished. You acted on your own initiative today. Don't forget that you are just a crow." The young man nodded to the crow lying on the ground.

To Rose's surprise, the crow began to howl, but did not struggle violently.The bullets on his legs and shoulders slowly pulled his flesh outward at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if being pulled by some strange force and forced out of his body.Rose's freshly wrapped bandages scattered, and the crow's blood flowed all over the floor.

"Okay, let's do this first, it hurts to see you." Soi Ying sighed, put down his hand, and then looked at Rose.

Rose suddenly had goose bumps all over her body.

Without even thinking about it, she raised her hand and shot wildly, while stepping back.

The black shadow was scattered into a mist by her strafing shots.

Then she felt that someone pressed her shoulder from behind.

Rose subconsciously drew her knife and turned around, but the shadow behind her pressed on her brow faster than her.

The rose will never forget that kind of touch in a lifetime, moist, fishy, ​​cold, and disgusting like creeping.

"It's pointless to kill you, after all, you are from Aachen." Sombra smiled, "Then I will give you...fear."

Yan Xichen suddenly woke up in the co-pilot and yelled.

"What's wrong?" Rosen's first reaction was to grab the gun.

Yan Xichen touched the sweat on his forehead, feeling a little dazed: "It's okay, I'm fine. I had a nightmare."

Regarding the nightmare about the trial that continued from the watch world, he hasn't done it for a long time since he came to the chaotic zone.He thought that his psychological quality had become stronger, but now he had the nightmare of that trial again inexplicably.

He looked out the window, seeing that there was no sunset at dusk, let alone anyone with a sickle, he felt much more at ease.

Then he remembered again, how did he fall asleep just now?It seems that I suddenly lost consciousness, which is very abnormal.

"How long have I slept?"

"Just for a while, 10 minutes." Rosen pointed to the white church in front of him, "I'll be there soon, tidy yourself up. It's good to get some sleep, or you won't have a chance later."

Yan Xichen just woke up, he was still in a daze, and didn't quite understand what Luo Sen meant.He rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and patted them again, so that he could recover from the nightmare just now.

From a distance, he saw Du Yachen's figure.He was fully armed, he didn't even take off his combat uniform, bulletproof vest and gun belt, and he looked like he had just arrived from somewhere.

Yan Xichen's eyes lit up immediately, and before the car stopped, he opened the door and jumped out.

Du Yachen also came forward with a smile, but his eyes became sharp when he saw that Rosen was the only one in the car: "Where is Rose? Something happened on the road?"

"Actually, it's because I want to deliver a letter when I go out tonight." Yan Xichen touched his nose guiltily, "There was an accident and I met a crow."

"Crow?" Du Yachen looked at Rosen.

Luo Sen explained the situation to Du Yachen in a few words. Du Yachen's serious expression gradually relaxed, and he patted Yan Xichen on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go in and talk."

Yan Xichen looked a little nervous: "Which judge shall we meet now?"

Du Yachen took his hand and squeezed it: "The watchmen in Area A, Area B, Area Z, and Area C."

Yan Xichen was stunned when he heard Area C: "Grandpa Duan?"

"Yes, he's there too. But I can't talk to you so much now, they can't wait to see you. Relax, say whatever you want as usual, and I'll be by your side."

Du Yachen led him to the huge wooden door inside the church. He rubbed the corner of Xichen Xichen's mouth with his thumb, looked down at him for a while, then turned and pushed open the wooden door.

The field of vision suddenly widened. Under the golden dome, eight inspectors were sitting in the circular paddock.There is a small circular sky hole in the center of the dome, and the moonlight is shaped into a bunch of sacred objects, which is purely released and gently shines on the marble floor.

On the other side of the amphitheater there was a table and chairs shaped like a crescent, made of walnut, very delicate and beautiful.Du Yachen led Yan Xichen to sit down at the crescent table, and at the same time he himself sat beside Yan Xichen.

The area and space of this church are not considered large, but it creates a sense of emptiness and sacredness.

Yan Xichen felt Du Yachen pinch his neck, and said to him in his usual relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I will take care of you."
