Edge of Pure Land Chapter 25

Chapter 25 The mantis stalks the cicada

The siren echoed over the military camp, and the drones gathered together like dark crows. The cold mechanical sound echoed in every corner of the camp, endlessly repeating: "Alert, a C-level defection has occurred! Abnormal Supervision Administration Senior Judge Aoki is suspected of crimes against humanity and has been dismissed from public service and teaching. The target is extremely aggressive and is in the second stage of evolution! Witnesses who provide clues will receive merit rewards."

On the turret being built, the law enforcers received the order, their scarlet eyes lit up, and they all set up their sniper rifles, aiming at every corner of the camp.

The guard horns also sounded in the military camp, and the entire army was under martial law.

 When Lu Fuji heard the siren, he knew that his plan had been successful.

 Lao Zhang has sent the report letter to the Abnormality Supervision Bureau.

 As the chief judge, Longque has also set an example.

 This also proves that this person is trustworthy.

“Currently, Longque's credibility is at 50%. At least he is a person who is willing to do things, rather than just pretending, and will not collude with lawbreakers.”

Lu Fuji murmured softly: "Aoki, Aoki, are you sweating profusely?"

Who would have thought that the judge who once committed life and death in the land of the afterlife would now become a wanted criminal in the federation. It is really a reincarnation, and no one will be spared.

Of course, there are obviously supporters behind Aoki.

 Otherwise, it would be impossible to erase the memories of their group of cocoon-breakers without anyone noticing.

It is even more impossible to sneak into the military camp in the middle of the night without anyone noticing.

"The next focus is Luther. How long will it take for them to find out who the blood stains and fingerprints on the cloth belong to? And what measures will be taken against this so-called witness?" Lu Fujie did not treat others as fools. If The higher-ups really need to conduct a thorough investigation, and it will be easy to find out the clues.

 Because Luther indeed knew nothing and had no source of information.

 Given the high level of science and technology and practice system of the Federation, it is possible that Lu Buer cannot be traced.

But now that Long Que's character is confirmed, there is no problem. Anyway, he has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

 Calculating the time, it's almost time.

Lu Fuji glanced at the sky.

 Before the sun completely sets, Boss Zhang will send the second letter tonight.

 As for Luther, we must also pay close attention to him.

 Whether he is being protected or being retaliated against, he must get the news as soon as possible.

José has already gone to keep an eye on it, and there will be news soon.

Lu Buer opened the door, glanced back, and said: "I may have something to do tonight, so you can cook something for yourself tonight. Lu Sixian? Lu Sixian? Speak!"

 No one paid any attention to him.

Lu Sixian sat in front of the chair and drew in a cute manner, her eyes became vaguely weird again, as if she was drawing something on the paper with a pen, her expression was quite concentrated.

Lu Buer ignored him, picked up his military uniform and went out.

 It is freezing outside the window, and the wind is whistling.

 At this moment, Lu Sixian raised her head and glanced at him.

The eyes are pale and ferocious, like the gaze of a ghost.

As night fell, Longque sat in a wheelchair, surveyed the bombed streets, and said softly: "It seems that the supporters behind Aoki are not simple, and they have given him a lot of resources. This guy's numerology is very mature, and he has mastered many techniques." The style isn't too low-level, otherwise he wouldn't be able to escape.”

If you are not strong enough, no matter how many powerful phosphorus flash bombs you use, it will be useless.

 “Sir, I've lost you.”

Qiangwei came back panting and dripping with sweat: "This guy can run really well."

“After all, he is a qualified judge, not someone as young as you.”

Damon received a letter from an inquisitor. After opening it and looking at it, he said: "Sir, the informant has been found. Third City Guards, High Talent, Luther."

By the way, he handed over a piece of information, which was the whistleblower's personal file.

Long Que unhurriedly took it apart and took a look. Today, under the surveillance of the Sacred Intelligent Body Network, everyone has no privacy, ranging from your professional resume and value rating, to consumption habits and interest preferences. All traces will be recorded, and a comprehensive evaluation will be given at the end.

 And Luther's personal rating is, bad.

 This has nothing to do with his own contribution.

 It has nothing to do with the value of higher talents.

 The evaluation of a person's comprehensive quality by the Sacred Intelligence Network is often based on universal values, and is basically recognized by the public.

 For a law-abiding, kind and enthusiastic citizen, the evaluation is usually good.

For that kind of surly gangster who is sneaky and has low quality, the evaluation will most likely be bad.

“He has serious domestic violence tendencies, has changed family members many times, and used his comrades as human shields when facing the White Walkers... Well, the real witness is not him.”

Longque shook his head and said calmly: "This guy is just a cover. He has no record of going out recently, and he has not contacted anyone outside the camp."

To be on the safe side, he took out a silver coin from his pocket.

 I saw him tossing the coin into the sky and finally catching it with his palm.

 Take a closer look, the front!

He said expressionlessly: "Sure enough, the divination coin also agreed with my guess. It seems that the real whistleblower should be one of the people I guessed. He is very thoughtful."

Qiangwei and Damon were stunned: "What do you mean?"

"This guy wasn't sure what kind of person I was, so he set up a game like this to test me. As long as Aoki is wanted or arrested, it will basically prove my position. Of course, he doesn't fully trust me so far. Unless I can see Aoki be judged or die, so this must be his secret card, isn't it interesting?”

Long Que played with the coins in his hand: "As for Luther, let's not worry about it. That guy blamed this scumbag, so I will give him a favor."

 He sighed: "I just hope that guy is more sensible and can provide more clues."

Qiangwei seemed to understand: "Is this a test of the officer's character?"

Damon hummed: "Not only that, I also want to deal with Aoki and Luther at the same time."

At exactly this time, a group of drunken office workers passed by the street and inadvertently dropped a letter. It was swept by the cold wind and landed at the door of the Abnormality Supervision and Administration Bureau.

After the guarding soldier saw the letter, his expression immediately changed:

 “Sir, new letter!”

Longque was stunned, shook his head and laughed.

 It's interesting to see what other tricks you can play.

In front of the tent with the howling cold wind, Aran sneezed cutely. She rubbed her nose that was red from the cold, and continued to pick up the axe, which was half a person's height, clumsily chopping wood to make a fire.

 Once, twice, three times.

With a plop, she accidentally fell to the ground and squatted on her butt.

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, but she still got up with difficulty. After all the dry firewood was almost ready, she carried her into the fireplace in the tent and started to light a fire.

The fire quickly burned and the tent gradually became warm.

 But she could not stay in the house any longer, so she turned around and picked up two buckets to fetch water.

 “Aran!”

At this time, an older brother whom she had never met came over and greeted her.

Aran was startled, but pursed his lips and said nothing.

 “I am your father's friend, and he asked me to come and see you.”

José knelt down, looked at the little girl's face and said, “Why don't you speak?”

A Ran glanced behind him fearfully and muttered in a low voice: "That uncle won't let me talk to others. Every time I talk to others, he will beat me with a belt."

José's blood pressure is rising, this scumbag!

“It's okay, secretly, if he dares to hit you today, I will hit him!”

José took out a piece of bread and chocolate from his pocket: "Are you hungry?"

Aran blinked his eyes and nodded vigorously.

Jose looked at the sallow face of the little girl and knew that she must not be eating well, so he handed her the chocolate and bread, but unexpectedly she was rejected.

Aran's eyes were longing, but he still shook his head: “My dad won't let me take other people's things.”

Just such a sentence made He Sai's heart break.

“How long have you been here?” “Half a year.”

"Why do you want to be a reserve? It's very hard in the military camp. In fact, you can choose to go to school. Although being an evolution is cool, it is also very dangerous."

"I…"

A Ran hesitated for a moment and said timidly: "I'm afraid that my father won't be able to adapt to the current life after he breaks out of the cocoon and will be bullied by others. If I become an evolver, no one will bully him."

José was stunned, and something seemed to be melting away in his heart.

 In this world of ice and snow, I feel warm and distressed at the same time.

 “Good boy.”

He touched her head, looked around and couldn't find the scumbag's shadow, so he asked: "Aran, where did that **** go? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

A Ran said obediently: "He was asked by his uncle to go to the warehouse in the east. They often go there secretly, and I don't know why they go there."

José's expression changed, and he thought something was wrong.

 “Eat these things quickly, I will come back to you in the evening.”

This matter is of great importance, so I have to go back and tell Brother Lu quickly.

He was just about to get up and go back to report the news, but he heard a bang.

It was as if something exploded. The strong wind blew out the torches in the camp, and powerful pulses swept over like a tide. All the drones in the sky malfunctioned and staggered to the ground.

 “Enemy attack!”

The adjutant shouted in the camp: "Be careful to avoid!"

In the military tent, Major Yuan Qing strode out with an iron bow. However, the entire camp was plunged into darkness, with only the cold wind whistling and whistling, and the chill was biting.

"How is this going?"

She narrowed her eyes: "Powerful pulse wave, who can mobilize something of this level?"

There was a loud bang, and the town where the military camp was located went dark.

Luther was startled and muttered: "What's going on? Why is uncle so anxious to ask me to come here? Isn't the next pick-up time in three days? It's really annoying."

 He complained: "When I become stronger than him one day, let's see if he still dares to beat me."

This is an abandoned underground warehouse, which contains some abandoned ordnance. Because it has been abandoned for too long and no one has managed it, it has become a secret base for them to steal oil and water.

Originally, the entrance door of the warehouse was locked, but today the lock was opened.

"Um?"

Luthor held the key in his hand tightly and tried to push open the iron door.

There was a creak and it was dark inside.

"uncle?"

As Luther walked down, he shouted: "Uncle Kashiwagi?"

 He took out a lighter, and the weak firelight illuminated the long and narrow corridor.

 However, when he went down to the last step, a hand stretched out from the darkness!

 Chokehold!

With a bang, Luther was pressed against the wall, and blood was drawn from the back of his head.

 A fierce knee struck him, hitting him hard in the abdomen!

He retched and curled up like a shrimp.

 The next step was a dagger inserted into his lower abdomen, causing bleeding.

"explain!"

 Aoki, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, raised his burnt face and roared: "When did I offend you? Why did you report me? Who gave you the news?"

However, what he didn't expect was that Luther roared in severe pain, his eyes glowed with a faint golden color, his body suddenly became as hard as a rock, and then he kicked out.

At this moment, Aoki was stunned and staggered back a few steps.

“Rock, you actually condensed numerology?”

If you want to advance from the Origin Realm to the Glory Realm, just accumulating life energy is not enough. You must condense your own numerology and master the power of nature before you can advance.

These ruffians on the front line of Wuzhen are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons.

 Incredible.

While Aoki was stunned, he suddenly thought of something.

Both Kashiwagi and Luther worked for that adult.

They have been smuggling supplies secretly over the years, and they have probably stolen a lot of money. Especially in order to avoid being discovered, they actually hide their strength and keep a low profile.

 “Crazy, who the **** reported you?”

Luther was furious: "Since you discovered this place, you will die!"

 Speaking, he pounced forward like a tiger, his body as hard as stone!

Aoki encountered a hard problem, and his eyes became gloomy. Now he was seriously injured and missing a hand. If he really wanted to subdue this guy, he would probably have to pay a price.

 Fortunately, he has sound-absorbing stones, which can help him cover for a while.

Aoki spat out a mouthful of blood and said coldly: "Private, let me see what you are capable of."

At the door of the underground warehouse, Lu Fuji walked in unnoticed and closed the door silently, letting the endless darkness spread and swallow him completely.

There was a faint firelight at the end of the long and narrow corridor, and two people struggling together could be seen, but no sound was heard. It was obviously the sound-absorbing stone that was causing trouble.

 He took a deep breath and relaxed himself.

 Because he was not in a calm mood.

Facing Aoki's threat, he thought about being like an ostrich. As long as he refused to admit it, no one could get anything out of him. Moreover, he had the seed of a **** and would become stronger sooner or later.

 But the price for doing so is the loss of dignity.

 Looking at the people around you, being ravaged by them.

 He can't do it.

 He lived in such misery five hundred years ago, but he did not lose his dignity.

 After coming to the new world, he is even less likely to surrender.

 A person without blood is nothing more than a walking corpse.

At this moment, everything is going according to his plan, just like a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. Only one person can come out of this warehouse alive tonight, and he must ensure that it is himself.

He knew very well that he came here to kill people, but he had not been mentally prepared. In fact, he had not even had time to adapt to the new life after breaking out of the cocoon.

 The life he had lived five hundred years ago suddenly said goodbye to him, like a distant past life.

 Everything in the new world is as unreal as a dream.

 But no matter in the past life or this life, he has never killed anyone.

 There is a difference between killing people and killing White Walkers.

 The latter is not like living life, it is like killing chickens and slaughtering sheep.

  The former is different.

 Because it requires great courage.

 The courage to give up life and death.

As it happens, what Lu Buer lacks most is courage.

Wealth is gained through danger, and this time he took the gamble.

Recommendation vote! !
