Laughing at Chang'an

Chapter 22 Little People

The afterglow of the setting sun was gradually swallowed by the night, and the street lamps lit up one after another, from far to near, as if something was about to come along with the night.

The air seemed to be getting colder.

The tall and thin man stroked the metal tube on his leg, his eyes were a little dazed. Wang Zhen sat on the side silently covering his chest, suddenly raised his head, and looked at the other end of the road.

Something is coming.

Come quickly.

The cool-looking azure sports car drew a lightning-like Z on the road, and stopped in the middle of the road without warning.Under everyone's gaze, the door slid open, and two gray folding brackets unfolded with a click on the lower edge of the door. Quietly, a wheelchair slid out of the car.

This is a very eye-catching wheelchair. The pure metal surface is plated with a layer of light blue reflective paint. The two wheels are as thick as an arm. The tires are thickened military type and have bulletproof shells.The upper seat is more like an operating table. Three data screens of different sizes are supported by mechanical arms and arranged in sequence on both sides of the seat.On the back of the seat is an amphibious power engine installed, and there are also deployable space-use mechanical wings. I am afraid that no one wants to know what is contained in the two large black boxes on both sides under the seat.It doesn't look like a wheelchair at all, it's more like a weapon of some kind.

There was a teenager sitting in the wheelchair, who seemed to be about the same age as Wang Zhen, maybe even younger.He has short light blue hair that is different from ordinary people, and his pupils are also extremely light white. His face is immature, but it looks very majestic.

The young man tapped the console on the left with his finger, and the wheelchair slid forward silently, and stopped firmly in front of the tall and thin man and Wang Zhen.

"Xue Bailang, you didn't keep our agreement."

It was not the first time Wang Zhen heard the names of people around him, but this time he heard them clearly.The man named Xue Bailang sat cross-legged on the ground, raised his head apologetically, and smiled at the boy in the wheelchair.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolu, this time I want to do what I want to do... Thank you all the time, and, I'm sorry, I want you to be scolded by the dean."

The boy in the wheelchair frowned slightly, and turned his gaze to Wang Zhen who was next to him. He was stared at by those pale white pupils without any emotion. A thing, inside and out, has been seen through.

Without warning, a mechanical arm popped out from his wheelchair and stretched towards Wang Zhen, but was stopped by a dagger without a handle halfway.

"I can't let you take him back."

Xue Bailang held a short blade, and his tone was very calm, but he hid an irreversible determination.

Anger finally appeared on the boy's expressionless face, and he slowly called the man's name again.

"Xue Bailang."

"Are you going to break our agreement?" he asked.

"Only this time." Xue Bailang put down the arm holding the knife, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "Probably the last time."

They stared at each other in silence for a moment.

"That's good." The boy backed up slowly while manipulating the wheelchair. "Next, I will execute the death penalty on the traitors and capture the mission targets in accordance with the regiment's rules. This is my duty as your guardian."

"I don't want to fight with you." Xue Bailang tried to explain, "You just need to wait a little longer, I'm just waiting..."

What interrupted him was a loud and clear warning, issued from the boy's wheelchair, and the beautiful female voice said word by word——

"Warning! The battle mode is about to start, please retreat immediately!"

"Warning! The battle mode is about to start, please retreat immediately!"

"Warning! The battle mode is about to start, please retreat immediately!"

After three consecutive warnings, the boy's wheelchair has transformed into another form, the entire seat is wrapped in alloy armor, like a spherical egg.The mechanical wings on the back of the chair unfolded, and in the light blue light of the engine, the wheelchair slowly rose into the air.

Xue Bailang knew that it was meaningless to say anything else, that's what a boy is like.He inserted the handleless short knife in his hand into the metal tube on his foot, the blade fit perfectly with that dark ditch, and even the energy lines on the tube's body were connected with the knife body, because they were originally one.

This is a special-shaped armor specially developed by the teenager for Xue Bailang - Furu Langtu.

Suddenly, Wang Zhen was empty, and then he was thrown high, and landed on the wall next to him. He hurriedly grabbed the wall, stabilized his body and looked to the original position. There was no one there.

There was a strange humming sound, and dozens of black spots the size of bullets flew out of the wheelchair in mid-air, suspended and spread out in all directions, covering the surrounding sky in a seemingly messy manner.One after another, small energy lines that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye are connected between the black dots, forming a huge sky net, and then the round black dots are slowly elongated, turning into one after another small awls.

Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, Wang Zhen has already recognized that this is probably the most famous war weapon in the history of Donggong—the mechanical canopy.This kind of war weapon that integrates surveillance, monitoring, and offense and defense is extremely complicated to operate, and only senior experts from Donggong can command them like arms.Therefore, as long as this thing appears on the battlefield, it means that a university scholar from Donggong has arrived.

Xue Bailang stood in the middle of the road under the wheelchair, raised his head, the gray gown on his body was blown up by the wind, revealing the metal blade feet that faintly reflected the light underneath.

The black boxes on both sides of the egg-shaped wheelchair opened silently, and the six pitch-black cannons rotated and stretched out, posing an attacking posture with their teeth and claws open. For a moment, everyone felt their eyes go blank, and a fierce bright light flashed. It sounded after a long time, and a deep melted pit was exposed on the ground. Under such an attack, not to mention people, even steel would be melted into slag.

With a click, Xue Bailang landed on the blue sports car in the middle of the road, with a smile on his face, opening his mouth to speak.However, what was faster than him was the light shooting from the air. At least six suspended spikes launched an attack in an instant. Cut into six pieces.

The boy hiding in the eggshell seemed to be showing with actions that it was just a warm-up.Under the cover of the sky net above the head, countless rays of light flashed everywhere at a speed that is hard to blink, and the six muzzles that emit strong light from time to time are like plowing the ground, turning the entire area into a Wasteland.

Two cannonballs fell on Wang Zhen's side, and accurately evaporated the walls on both sides of him out of thin air. He sat alone on the remaining part of the wall, like a resident trapped on a deserted island.Thinking of this, he felt that the wound in his chest began to hurt sharply again.

In the seemingly endless light attack, a gray figure kept flashing, relying on two metal prosthetic feet that did not belong to him, Xue Bailang's movements were not slow at all, he was like a flexible and free gray Butterflies, dancing in the light.

However, from the beginning to the end, he had no intention of launching an attack, and was just avoiding blindly.

He's just wasting time.

The boy in the wheelchair seemed to be tired of this stalemate, and soon, another wave of black dots rose into the sky, filling up the sky net that was originally left empty and airtight.Almost after the addition of the new cones, the attack frequency of light has undergone a qualitative change. In Wang Zhen's eyes, there seems to be no place in the entire area that is not covered by light.

Under such an attack, Xue Bailang inevitably began to get injured. The gray gown on his body became tattered, revealing his skinny body inside.The moment the gray robe was completely peeled off from him, Wang Zhen silently stared wide-eyed.

...that is not a human body.

Wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, chest... There are strange objects with metallic luster everywhere, as if a set of armor is embedded in the body.What Xue Bailang paid for gaining power can be clearly seen from this body. He is not an extraordinary genius. Li Shen, who was not as good as him back then, could easily beat him into a cripple.He is well aware of the pain of lack of power, this pain has made him lose everything again and again...

So he accepted the young man's conditions, voluntarily became the other party's experimental product, endured unimaginable pain, and gained the power he dreamed of.

Under the bombardment of endless light, he suddenly stopped, bent down and picked up something from the ground.The moment he bent down, six cannon muzzles fired in unison, and the intense light flooded his vision, and no one could clearly see what happened.

Almost at the same time as the light faded, the two cars arrived at the edge of the battlefield side by side.

"That wheelchair is Lu Cang from Donggong."

Li Tieyi opened his mouth and said, scanning the battlefield from afar, and soon found Wang Zhen who was sitting on the only raised wall.He frowned and was about to speak, but his eyes suddenly froze on a figure not far below the wheelchair, who was slowly standing up.

The first thing that came into view was a metal mask with half crying and half smiling.

The man whose body was wrapped in iron sheets like a rag doll raised his body from the rear to the front in a weird posture, the head with the weird mask was bent at a 45-degree angle, and turned stiffly and slowly back to the front , and then tilted to the right again.

He tilted his head like a puppet, his eyes hidden behind the mask penetrated the space, and came to the eyes of Li Shen who was sitting in the car.

Li Tieyi was a little surprised, and murmured: "The crying puppet... so it was him."

Even though I have been in the remote Hongdao for the past two years, I have heard of the name of the crying and laughing doll, Li Shen.The other party was a professional assassin who appeared out of nowhere two years ago. Due to the guild's rules not accepting killing missions, many killing commissions that could not be done on the surface were contracted by this crying and laughing doll.There are two reasons for his great fame. One is that he does not ask for remuneration, and the other is that the killing methods are extremely dirty. Most of the victims killed by him are disfigured with broken limbs. Bury the dead in human form.People speculate that he is a psychopathic murderer who kills people just for fun. If we say that the most notorious murderer in the past two years is undoubtedly this crying and laughing doll.

On the most wanted list of the Mercenary Guild, the reward amount for the Crying and Laughing Doll has reached [-] million Tang coins. Although there is still some distance from the top few, but in terms of the soaring speed of the bounty, he can be ranked close to The first in a century.

Li Shen sighed slightly.

"Pity."

Li Tieyi thought he was talking about Xue Bailang, but he couldn't understand what he said, so when he saw someone touch his nose, he had a painful expression on his face.

"I'm beeping, the limited edition Symphony Zero, it's all ruined."
