018 Killing the King of Sewers (Part 1)
018 Kill the King of Sewers (Part 1) ("Green Xiaoshuoshi.com")
Although I would like to say that this was another unforgettable night, unfortunately nothing happened.
The next day, we continued to look for our lost companions.
District 18, District 19, District 20, District 21, District 22, District 23...
It was very peaceful along the way. Apart from killing some eyes-unopening monsters, no valuable clues were found. Artoria judged from this that his lost companions did not appear here.
Although she and Miss Shina were extremely disappointed, there was still a little more than a day and they were not irritated by it. They continued to search calmly. No one spoke along the way, whether they were in a mood or not knowing what to say, I don’t know.
Time continued to pass, and on the afternoon of the next day, when the sunset was about to set, we finally found some valuable clues in District 15. The clues were left by Uncle Doyle, and they wrote about the difficulties they encountered in just a few strokes, and they were with everyone.
After being defeated by the apostle, Uncle Doyle and Nangong fled here in a panic. After resting for some time, they felt much better. The other party left the safety area of District 15 because they were worried about their companions and headed for another place.
With this clue, Artoria and Miss Shina were both energetic and I was happy for them. So after everyone rested for a night, they got up early the next morning and continued to move forward.
What is disappointing is that we did not catch up with Uncle Doyle, but the good news is that Uncle Doyle left another clue, saying that he had met with Su Ya. From now on, no one died. This should be exciting good news. As long as you live, there is hope.
Until noon on the third day, Artoria suddenly said to Miss Shina and me who were drinking water: "Let's go back and meet with Charlotte."
I sniffed and coughed violently, "You are not going to look for them anymore."
Artoria said seriously: "Doyle and others are safe and sound. It is enough to know this. With their strength and wisdom, they will never do stupid things. I believe they will see them again."
Miss Shina nodded unconsciously, obviously agreeing very much.
Both of them made up their minds, so naturally I would not object, and I also really hope to leave this ghost place sooner. I am lucky to have not met the apostle these days, which does not mean that I will always be so lucky in the future. Maybe we will encounter the apostle in a very unlucky process during the return.
"Ba, you crow's mouth!"
At 2:27 pm, my worries came true, and we really met the apostle on our way back.
The huge body always stood in the middle of the road, and the huge pressure covered the entire void. Even the air became extremely heavy, as if it was filled with lead. The breath from the lungs seemed to fall to the ground and smash a big pit.
Artoria and Miss Shina avoided us from afar. The other party seemed to have not noticed us yet. They looked up at the sky, as if something was attracting it. I looked up and looked up a few times and found that except for the white clouds, there was a blue sky, and there was nothing except these.
The road is blocked by the apostles, and this is the only way to go back. No matter which direction you go, you must pass this road to reach the place where you meet with Charlotte.
"Damn it!" Miss Shina showed a very terrifying look in her eyes. If Artoria hadn't grabbed her, she might have rushed up desperately.
"What should I do now?" I asked Artoria with some anxiety. She shook her head slightly and signaled me not to panic, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
I had no choice but to calm down and look at the time bombs in the distance from time to time. If the other party really finds us, I think the three of us will definitely die miserably.
Time passed by, and the apostle seemed to have no intention of leaving. It seemed to have been petrified and turned into a sculpture, standing in the middle of the street, continuing to exude that terrifying aura.
Slowly, the sunset appeared, and the orange-red brilliance spread across the earth, dyeing the black apostles red.
"The time for the agreed reunion has passed, and Charlotte should have left here at this time." Suddenly, Artoria said.
I looked dark and nodded in frustration. We had an agreement when we were separated. If one party could not show up on time, something happened. The other party should not hesitate at all and go back to bring reinforcements to save us immediately.
So, I looked up at the sky and sighed again.
"Retreat!" I said, "Charlotte left here, I don't think it's a solution for us to continue. If the apostle really finds us, we will die very unjustly."
Artoria quickly agreed to what I said and pulled Miss Shia who couldn't stop struggling and left.
We were back in the safe zone again.
Although the apostle cannot be stopped here, the apostle still has to be distracted from preventing the laser attack. There will be some restraints and will not allow it to fully open its strength and attack us.
During dinner, I made an opinion on leaving the sewer, "... Since Quill and the others can leave through the sewer, we can do it naturally. I have remembered the route very clearly. Quill also told me that he had left some marks in the sewer, and it was unlikely that he would get lost."
Artoria also nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's set out tomorrow."
Miss Shina nodded indifferently. The three of us chatted for a few more times. After feeling sleepy, everyone found a room and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, something embarrassing happened again.
"Yan Xiaobei, get up, Yan Xiaobei..." A slight voice suddenly froze and approaching, and sounded in my ears, as if someone was murmuring, some inextricable temptation. When I opened my eyes, I found Artoria sitting on my body, with her blue eyes as bright as the sky staring at me tightly.
Uh...so intense
It seems that the same thing happened to each other at any time and at any other person.
"Is there another stranger coming?" This was my first reaction after waking up from sleep.
"And?" A strange look flashed through Artoria's azure blue eyes.
"Cough... Cough..." I quickly shook my head, "No... nothing, I just thought of a joke. By the way, is there anything you have to do with me?"
Perhaps it was urgent, and Artoria did not pursue my tongue, "I'm going to run away in an instant."
Escape, this is really serious.
"But why did she run away?" I asked curiously.
Artoria said in a deep voice: "She wants to fight the apostles to die. I will definitely not allow such things, so I need your help. Come with me, Yan Xiaobei." As she said that, she flipped down my body and ran outside.
I quickly got out of bed and followed her.
Miss Shina's room was empty, only the windows near the big bed were wide open, and the cold wind at night blew the white curtains and rustled.
Miss Shina may have been away for a while, and Artoria and I ran out of the safe zone but did not find each other's existence. We could only move towards the place where the apostles were staying in the daytime. Artoria was very cautious along the way, and my palms were sweating. If the apostles were really there, I would have to face it.
When I think of the powerful strength that the other party just yelled and shocked me to death, I couldn't stop feeling weak. Even though I knew that I had stepped into the one-way car to hell step by step, I couldn't stop, and I kept following behind Artoria, running, running...
