I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Early the next morning, Xia Xi asked Sheng Bai to meet at the Black Crow. After getting permission, Xia Xi used the communication tool Sheng Bai gave to send an invitation to the dessert chef, saying that they would meet at the Xincheng restaurant "Castle in the Sky" at noon.

Before going out, Sheng Bai stopped him and handed him three golden cards: "This is the invitation card for the cultivation base on New Year's Day. As long as you confirm the identity of the black crow, you can give the card to him directly."

Xia Xi took the card, put it directly into her arms, and replied, "Yes."

Sheng Bai looked at Xia Xi with a complicated expression on his face: "The black crow is cruel and merciless, and he is not a good friend. When you meet him, be careful."

"Sheng Dui was joking, in terms of ruthlessness, who can compare to you?" Xia Xi frowned, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The air was quiet for a moment, and was broken by Xia Xi's chuckle again: "Just kidding, Sheng Dui has always been very gentle to me. I also want to follow Sheng Dui for a long time, so as to realize your ambition and mine."

Located on the top floor of the tallest shopping mall in the center of the new city, the sky pavilion is in the shape of a rotating disc surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, overlooking the panorama of the entire new city, much like a "revolving restaurant" before the end of the world.

When Xia Xi came, Jing Lan, who was disguised as a pastry chef, had already arrived. She was sitting by the window, staring coldly at the window, exuding an aura that strangers should not enter.

When seeing Xia Xi, the aura dissipated a little and became more approachable.

But when he realized that after Xia Xi entered the door, there were several "tails" behind him, the smile that had just filled his eyes quickly disappeared again.Changing into a cold and indifferent look, he nodded slightly to Xia Xi and said, "You're here."

"Yeah." Xia Xi sat across from Jing Lan, glanced at the mousse cake that Jing Lan had prepared for herself, took a sip of hot chocolate, and asked Jing Lan in a natural tone: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jing Lan said according to the lines agreed by the two in advance: "There is a strange person who wants to contact you through me and get a ticket to enter the cultivation center on New Year's Day."

"Strange person? How strange?" Xia Xi picked up a fork and forked a small piece of mousse cake. It was apple-flavored, with a white chocolate shell on the outside, silky and mellow, and jam made from apple juice in the inside , refreshing sweet and sour.Xia Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, savoring the taste of dessert with pleasure, with a little joy in her eyes unconsciously.

Jing Lan deliberately lowered her voice: "He first made an artificial human puppet and came to me to ask about the cultivation base and you. But he refused to reveal his identity. After being rejected by me, he began to threaten me and even turned into a skeleton Appeared at my house. Only then did I know that he should be the skeleton supernatural being wanted by Jingting City, Black Crow."

A guest sitting not far from Xia Xi changed his expression when he heard this.He is an ability user sent by Sheng Bai to monitor Xia Xi. He has a third-level body enhancement ability, and the main direction of strengthening is the five senses.

Opposite him, there were a few other supernatural beings who came with him. Seeing his reaction, they all became nervous and asked in a low voice, "How is it? What did they say?"

The supernatural being in charge of monitoring said to the others in a breathy voice: "It's right to confirm that the artificial human puppet that day was Black Crow."

Xia Xi still concentrated on eating desserts, and even the watchers had to admire him for being so calm, but they didn't know that the lines were compiled by Xia Xi and Jing Lan in advance. Can't act too much surprise.

"It really is a black crow." Xia Xi nodded with satisfaction: "Is he coming today? When will he be there?"

"I don't know yet." Jing Lan said, "He only told me to ask you out, and he didn't say anything else."

Just as he was speaking, Jing Lan's communicator rang twice.He looked down and frowned slightly: "It's from the black crow."

"How?" Xia Xi asked.

"In half an hour, see you downstairs at Xinmengqiao." Jing Lan read out the content on the communicator.

"Then wait another half an hour." Xia Xi was not in a hurry, and scooped up another small piece of cake, ready to put it in his mouth.

A silenced bullet flew over, and Xia Xi's face changed slightly, as if he wanted to hide.But everything seemed to be too late, the bullet pierced his heart precisely, smashing the cup of hot chocolate on the table, the glass splattered everywhere, and the chocolate was mixed with Xia Xi's blood.The apple-flavored mousse cake was covered, and the table was a mess.

The guests screamed and wanted to escape, but Sheng Bai's people temporarily controlled them and sent them to the cubicle.Xia Xi and Jing Lan were the only people sent by Sheng Bai left in the restaurant.

Xia Xi leaned weakly on the back of the chair, eyes slightly lowered, blood dripped from his chest and dripped on the floor along his fingertips, as if he was dead.

Only Jing Lan could see it, Xia Xi stared straight at the unfinished cake on the table, showing a bit of regret.

The shooter took off his cumbersome suit jacket, revealing the protective clothing exclusive to the expedition team, gestured to the others, and said, "Kill the other one too."

Just when several people were preparing to do something, there was a commotion in the cubicle, and someone from the expedition team shouted: The black crow is here!

Jing Lan took the opportunity to pick up Xia Xi who was on the chair, turned around and ran to the roof.Several expedition members rushed up to attack immediately.But Jing Lan's skill seems to be better, he jumped up and stepped on the dining table, jumped to the exit of the safe passage in three or two steps, and kicked down the gatekeeper heavily

During the fight, the golden card fell from Xia Xi's pocket on the floor, and was picked up by the black-robed skeleton who ran out after him.

The black-robed skeleton jumped directly from the gap in the heart of the stairs, and the tenth floor became the first floor, faster than the expedition members chasing by the elevator, and quickly disappeared.

Most of the expedition team members chased him downstairs, and only three of them chased Xia Xi and Jing Lan upstairs.

Jing Lan took Xia Xi to the roof of the building. This is an open-air garden roof, but the flowers are all blooming in winter, and the weather is freezing. It is empty and there is no one there.

Xia Xi's thin windbreaker was blown violently, Jing Lan thoughtfully wrapped the scarf around his neck tighter for him.

The "dead" Xia Xi opened his eyes, even though the wound on his chest was still bleeding out, dripping into a string on the clean marble floor of the top floor.

"I thought they would be more calm, and deliberately said that the time agreed by the black crow was half an hour later. I didn't expect them to be so impatient... It's a pity for my mousse cake."

The sound of footsteps approaching behind him, Jing Lan listened carefully, there were only three of them, even if they didn't use special abilities, they could still deal with them.But they have to lose this time, and they have to lose for real, so that Sheng Bai can dispel his worries and continue the next action.

Three people appeared on the rooftop, and one of them was Zeng Ce who had a bad relationship with Xia Xi.He had been patient with Xia Xi in his heart for a long time, and finally got the order to kill the other party. He even missed the opportunity to go down and catch the black crow, which might make great contributions, but he must chase Xia Xi up to confirm that he was dead, and then put Bring back his body.

Jing Lan looked inexplicably surprised, and asked the three of them: "Why did you kill him? Didn't Sheng Bai send him close to the black crow?"

Zeng Ce snorted coldly: "You know quite a lot."

Jing Lan led Xia Xi towards the edge of the building: "So you did it on purpose? To silence?"

Zeng Ce pressed on, but he didn't approach rashly. He had just discovered that this pastry chef was very skilled, but he didn't bring a weapon, so he was more suitable for long-distance solutions.So he planned to hold him back with words, and then find the right time to do it.

"The black crow is suspicious by nature, and Xia Tian is the lover in name of the captain. Since Xia Tian knows the identity of the black crow, he must suspect that the training base on New Year's Day is a trap, and it is impossible to appear in the team openly."

"The captain wants to make up for this flaw, the best way is to kill Xia Tian with his own hands in front of the black crow. As long as he kills Xia Tian with his own hands, he can prove to the black crow that he did not instruct Xia Tian to give the card to the black crow, but It was Xia Tian who made the decision. In this way, Black Crow will enter the cultivation base with more confidence when he gets those cards again."

Jing Lan: "But according to Zhuguang's demand for the clover mother plant, even if it knows that there is a trap, the black crow is likely to go to the cultivation base. Why must it die in summer?"

Zeng Ce seemed even more surprised: "You actually know about Clover? Sure enough, Xia Tian and you can't stay together, it's safer to kill them."

Seeing that Jing Lan had retreated to the edge, she knocked her foot on the back wall and glanced back distractedly.

Zeng Ce immediately raised his weapon and ordered to the other two people around him: "Do it."

The weapon hit Jing Lan's vitals, and he was knocked backward by the impact, and fell down from the roof of the building together with Xia Xi.When the three of them rushed to the edge of the roof and looked down, they could only see two corpses that had fallen to the ground with their faces unrecognizable.

Of course it was not the corpses of Xia Xi and Jing Lan, but the skeletons that Xia Xi controlled to pretend to be a black crow, and put the two artificial human models that had been prepared in the shape of Xia He and the dessert chef without implanting souls on Xia Xi and Xia Xi. Jing Lan's clothes were thrown from the window of the revolving restaurant.

At this moment, Xia Xi and Jing Lan were standing on a balcony on the seventh floor. This is the accommodation area, and they had already reserved this room in the name of Father Jing.

The two artificial human models were also made in the name of Father Jing.Because of the requirement of secrecy, it will not be easy to be found out, unless Sheng Bai goes to check it himself.But by the time Sheng Bai wanted to investigate, it might be too late.New Year's Day has long passed.

The two stood side by side, and there were still some uncleaned blood stains on their bodies, but the scars had completely disappeared.

Xia Xi was a bone who was not afraid of death, but Jing Lan changed part of his body into black mist the moment the opponent hit him, avoiding the blow.

"You actually prepared these. You expected that they would do something here?" Xia Xi was a little surprised at Jing Lan's sufficient preparation, even if it was him, and Xia Xi felt that they would wait until he sent out the invitation card before taking action.At that time, the two can jump directly into the river and escape.

"Well, he will definitely do it here."

Jing Lan knows Sheng Bai better than Xia Xi. He may not be very smart, but he has a keen intuition and strong opinions.Recently, he has acted a little too obedient to Xia Xi.

This sense of disobedience reached its peak when Xia Xi came out today.

Sheng Bai is a butcher.He doesn't even need much reason to kill people, as long as he suspects, or feels that the other party may be detrimental to him or Jingting City, he will directly attack.In Sheng Bai's eyes, such things as love, loyalty, and loyalty do not exist at all. He is very proficient at crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, and killing people to silence people.

Sheng Bai has clearly suspected Xia Xi now, and after successfully obtaining the control of the cultivation base, Sheng Bai doesn't really need Xia Xi to continue to leave the layout. After all, no matter whether there are two guides, Xia Xi and the dessert chef, as long as the temptation of clover With enough power, the crow will naturally find a way to enter the cultivation base.

The card does not have to be handed out by hand, as long as the black crow wants to come, the black crow will definitely find a way to get that card.

As for choosing to fight here, it probably stems more from Sheng Bai's defense against Xia Xi himself.Even without the ability, Xia Xi's plan still made Sheng Bai a great threat, so he chose to kill Xia Xi in a safer place, so as not to give him a chance to escape when he noticed the abnormality.

After listening to Jinglan's explanation, Xia Xi also took off her summer disguise and changed into clean and refreshing clothes.

Jing Lan also took off her disguise as a pastry chef, revealing her original appearance.The thick scarf covers most of the face, and the down jacket that can cover up the figure is the best cover.

The two stood side by side on the terrace on the seventh floor.There was still some noise in the distance, it was Sheng Bai's people hunting black crows everywhere.

They didn't know that the black crow they were looking for was standing where they left, watching them quietly.

A trace of coolness brushed Xia Xi's cheeks, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand, a snowflake fell on his palm, and soon melted into transparent water droplets, followed by more flakes.

"It's snowing." Xia Xi looked up at the sky.

The doorbell outside rang, and it was Jing Lan who called to deliver the food.Despite the chaos above, the well-trained service staff brought them a sumptuous lunch on time, as well as an apple-flavored ice cream mousse cake and a large cup of hot chocolate.
