The Journey of the Plane / The Journey of the Plane: Looking for Lily

A soldier was overjoyed to hear that Kino chose to take the initiative to participate directly.

"what are you talking about?"

But Kino didn't care that these guys looked down on him, he was as calm as if he wasn't the one being ridiculed, and his eyes were as calm as stagnant water.

"Please lead the way."

"Hey hey hey! You are not joking!"

The soldier uncles around laughed even harder, and one of the soldier uncles who laughed the most exaggeratedly couldn't help looking up and down Chino with a strange look, and mocked while laughing: "I said, little brother, I I advise you to consciously give up the competition... Do you really want to participate in the competition? Do you think you can win?" As he spoke, he began to click his lips, as if he could see through Chino's mind, and the expression on his face became even stronger. "You don't want to confuse your opponent with your pretty face like a little girl, do you? With all due respect, players with this kind of 'interest' are rare, and most players will not I will crush you mercilessly."

And the other soldiers could also hear what this soldier was referring to, and couldn't help showing malicious expressions, and looked at Kino with even more filthy eyes.

"Bang bang bang bang bang-"

Six thunder-like roars sounded instantly.

The next moment, all the six helmets hanging on the wall behind the soldier were blown away, and a puff of white smoke billowed from the room, and then a dull voice came slowly, and it was naturally Kino who was speaking: "Isn't it little?" Brother, I'm Kino." And she happened to be holding a hand-held persuader in her hand, which was the six-shot revolver she called [Canon].

The sound just now was undoubtedly the sound of gunfire.

It's a pity that these soldiers don't seem to understand what happened.

It wasn't until the flying helmet finally hit the ground with crisp crashing sounds that they came back to their senses belatedly.

At this time, Chino had already slowly retracted the [Canon] that had been emptied into the holster on his right leg.

"You bastard!"

A soldier who looked very young seemed to be more vigorous. Seeing Kino's operation, he naturally felt that he was humiliated by a little boy with a big ass. When he became angry, he was about to rush over and grab Kino Unexpectedly, his eyes suddenly went dark, and there was an unimaginable sharp pain in his jaw——when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had already risen into the air, as if he had been kicked hard from bottom to top by someone. He raised his chin, as if time had frozen, and felt stunned for a while before his body hit the ground fiercely from mid-air.

"To...what the hell is going on..."

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and there were a lot of gold stars twinkling constantly. The young soldier shook his dizzy head before he managed to recover his eyesight.

He got up from the ground in some pain, looked up, and there was a guy standing in front of him, it was the puppet who they had always thought was harmless and had a strange big book on his back!There is no doubt that when he rushed to attack Kino, the puppet kicked him almost to death with a flying kick!

Of course the young soldier was furious.

Just when he was about to teach this puppet a lesson, unexpectedly, a persuader pointedly pointed at his head.

The one who made the move was of course Chino.

After Mo Li shot, her left hand directly pulled out the persuader who used 22LR bullets from her waist, that is, the single-shot automatic persuader with a slender gun body that she called "Men of the Forest".

And the young soldier was too young after all, with a persuader on his head, his body stiffened subconsciously, a fear radiated from his spine to his whole body, and he couldn't move at all... And Hermes, who had been watching the play for a long time At that moment, I couldn't help but started to be cheerful, and said with a big smile: "Oh, oh, the devil's leg skills have not regressed~ It seems that the master didn't teach you in vain before~" But after finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of the old days. Li has always liked to kick herself, maybe it was just this way to exercise her leg skills, so Hermis's laughter stopped abruptly like a duck being strangled by someone, and it was inevitable that there was only a burst of sadness coming from it. .

can only say--

What a miserable motorcycle.

……

After solving this episode, Kino and Mo Li finally walked on the ground of this country.

correct.

The entrance to the country where they clashed with the soldiers was located underground, no wonder it was so dark and damp, and there was a kind of dullness with no air circulation.

And the one who led Chino and his party to the arena was an uncle soldier among those soldiers. After seeing Mo Li's proficient leg skills and Chino's astonishing persuasive precision, he directly I couldn't help being deeply impressed by the strength of the two of them.

So at this time, he directly became a tour guide without any complaints, and introduced what was going on here from time to time.

"Haha~ looks good, doesn't it?"

Uncle Soldier easily dealt with a daring assailant, and said with a smile in the midst of Hermes' exaggerated praise.

"Everyone is desperately trying to get the right to live on the ground~"

--what?

--looks great?

Noticing that the soldier uncle was completely proud when he spoke, obviously he really felt that this place is very good, of course, Mo Li couldn't help but feel a suffocating feeling, he really didn't know how to face this soldier uncle, nor Knowing how to describe what the soldier uncle said is good, what is so good about it...how should I put it?After coming to this country through the underground entrance, the first thing Mo Li saw was piles of garbage piled up one after another. It can be seen that the gate of the city is definitely not a garbage treatment plant, but there are so many garbage, it can be seen that the city must be more The city gate is even more terrifying!

But the facts proved that Mo Li hadn't guessed wrong.

Garbage is everywhere in the city, and the streets and buildings are extremely dirty!You can tell at a glance that it hasn't been properly renovated in a long time!

Some residents were lying dirty on the side of the road, not knowing whether they had passed out or were basking in the sun, while some residents who were a little more energetic were very cautiously hiding in the shadows of the buildings, staring at them with very dangerous eyes. Zhuo Moli and his group could even see several obese wild dogs looking for leftovers among the garbage.

Anyway-

The whole city reeks of stench!In comparison, the swamp that Mo Li stayed in back then is considered delicious!

"with all due respect"

"Living above ground in this environment is no better than living underground"

"Eh? Really? But I just think it's good to be on the ground~"

This soldier uncle is probably used to it, or has been subtly brainwashed, so he can't understand Mo Li's mood at all.

On the way, Kino and Moli passed a bridge-like building.

There are obviously many "bridges" like this in this country, isn't there?

Mo Li couldn't help but stop, leaning over the railing and looking down, she could see a small river underneath, which seemed to flow out of the ground, a group of people lived on both sides of the river, living in continuous Among the very simple buildings, it looks like they can be blown down by any gust of wind—and these residents are completely depressed, lifeless, with weather-beaten faces, and very simple clothes, like a group of walking dead, It seems that they should be "slaves" living in the sewer, right?

Seeing Mo Li couldn't help being speechless for a while.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, because the underground environment is [-] times worse than the above-ground environment, so everyone feels that the above-ground is very beautiful.

Although the ground obviously stinks like a cesspit.

Soon after, I finally came to the arena that was regarded as a "sacred place" by all residents.

Undoubtedly, it was the oval-shaped building that Chino could clearly see from the outside of the city. The spectator stand was built very high, and it could be seen that there were incomplete traces everywhere. There will be some "stray bullets" hitting the auditorium, and even iron rods embedded in the floor can be found in some places... But this building is probably because the builder's methods are not very good. It even shakes slightly, which is enough to see that the construction is very simple.

The only luxury is a grandstand located on the upper level.

It is studded with all kinds of jewels, it should be the exclusive stand for the ruler of the country, right?

Anyway, Mo Li thinks that this kind of decoration style that likes to be inlaid with various gemstones is really not good-looking at all, and Hermis also said that this kind of architecture is really low-level taste.

Afterwards, the soldier uncle took Kino and Moli to the underground of the arena, saying that this is the dormitory for the contestants.

It's a dormitory, but in Mo Li's opinion, it's not much better than a prison cell. Inside, there is a dilapidated bed that even has springs popping out. The oil lamp was dangling to provide an extremely weak light source for the strike.

The soldier uncle left quickly.

Before leaving, he smiled and told Kino to rest here for a while, and when Kino was about to play, he would come over early and ask Kino to go out.

Chino didn't seem to care about the poor conditions of the dormitory, so he took off his oversized coat that didn't fit him right away, and he was still wearing the same black jacket underneath, with the same wide belt around his waist——Chino just lay down On the bed, compared to sleeping outside, this place at least provides a bed, doesn't it?Afterwards, Kino silently began to check his two persuaders, who looked very serious, but Mo Li didn't care about it at all, and sat gently beside Kino, looking at the people on the wall. The oil lamp started to daze.

"What is Chino planning?"

Noticing that Mo Li next to him was holding up a notepad and asking himself, Kino glanced casually out of the corner of his eye, and then retracted it without a trace.

"I don't intend to stay here for long..."

While speaking, he pushed the [Canon] to a locking device, removed the barrel and the front half, and then put it on again with ease: "Because I don't want to think about the conflict, I agreed to participate in the competition before. If it is the master If so, I guess they will be dealt with directly and forced to break through, right?" Mentioning the master, he couldn't help but smile slightly, pulled out the magazine of [Canon], pulled out the magazine that was used up before, and replaced it with a new magazine very skillfully , "At the first stop, we will deal with it a few times casually, properly teach the opponent a lesson, and then we will surrender first before the opponent surrenders."

After tidying up the persuaders, Chino took a few new magazines and put them where he could get them directly, and the words on his lips came to an end.

"So we can say goodbye to this place."

"clear"

Of course, Mo Li is well aware of Kino's temperament, so she expected that Kino might adopt such a roundabout way.

After a while, the soldier uncle came to greet Kino to go out to participate in the competition, and of course Moli didn’t want to stay in the dark dormitory to get moldy, so he directly asked Kino if he could go out and watch, Kino thought for a while after hearing what he said, and finally He nodded his head in agreement—afterwards, Kino went to ask Hermes again, but it was a pity that Hermes believed in Kino's strength and knew that the next battle would be a one-sided crush, so he bluntly said that he knew it would happen even if he didn't have to go. It's a boring battle, why not just stay here and wait for Kino to come back.

Naturally, Kino wouldn't force it, and left with Moli directly, leaving Hermes' motorcycle to mold alone in the dark dormitory.

Volume [-] Kino's Journey: The Ninth Kingdom, Arena ([-])

On the way to the arena, Kino suddenly asked why there are gladiatorial competitions in this country.

The uncle soldier who led the way was very happy to answer, and he said proudly that everything started seven years ago. The current king directly killed the original boring and rigid king. Under the domination, it has become "vigorous", and the people who want to settle here are overwhelming - because those idlers can't be included as citizens, so the current king came up with a clever trick to let them live in the arena. Fight to please the citizens of the whole country.

It doesn't matter if the strongest player directly rewards him as a citizen, and the rest of the defeated players just die.

Kino couldn't help frowning naturally.

Then he asked softly: "Do all the contestants who participated in the gladiatorial fight agree to this kind of killing each other? Or are there travelers who don't know the truth like us?"

"Of course there is!" The soldier uncle replied without thinking for a moment, speaking in a very natural tone, as if this kind of thing has long been commonplace, "Occasionally there will be travelers who rush in like you, But almost all of them were killed in the preliminaries."

Kino's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Before Kino could continue to inquire further, the soldier uncle seemed to suddenly think of something interesting, and suddenly said to himself: "That's right, it's okay for a solo traveler, but it's interesting for two people to travel together." Yes! There is a high probability that they will kill each other because they lined up together in the preliminaries! I remember that there was a couple traveling in a carriage who accidentally got lost and came to this country. As for the internal fighting, it is a pity that in the first round, although the wife saved her life because her surrender was accepted by the well-intentioned opponent, the husband did not have such luck. He chopped it into a meat paste."

"It's funny, isn't it?"

After the uncle soldier finished speaking, he kept laughing, as if the cruel story he told was just a very funny joke.

When Mo Li heard this, she was immediately taken aback.

and many more!

A couple traveling in a carriage?In the end, only the wife survived alone?

The memory that she didn't pay attention to at first revived directly at this moment, and Mo Li suddenly remembered that it was not the first time she had met the traveler who introduced the beauty of this country to Kino, as if she had met once before, and at that time she Indeed traveling with another male...

The more you recall the past, the clearer your memory will be.

Mo Li remembered that when the couple of travelers met Kino, they would sit together and start laughing and chatting, and then naturally talked about where they were going.

Kino said that he has no fixed goal, and it doesn't matter where he goes.

And they said they were going to a very beautiful country, and they had heard that it was very beautiful there before.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye, and because of the different directions, they took different paths as a matter of course, and Mo Li never cared about the people he met during the trip. After all, meeting this time does not mean that we can meet again later, so of course I did not remember. The appearance of the traveling couple, so that the second time he met his wife who was alone, he didn’t recognize him—and Kino obviously remembered the other party, so he started talking as a matter of course, and then the next thing happened. The wife of one person chooses to hide the truth with some mentality, and tricks Kino, who knows nothing, to go to the country where her husband died.

After Mo Li wanted to understand everything, her mood became extremely complicated.

Is that wife hateful?

Yes, hateful, she clearly wanted to repeat her tragedy on Kino.

But isn't it pitiful?

Yes, it's really pitiful. She and her husband were actually deceived by other travelers, thinking that this country is really beautiful, so they came here foolishly.

In the final analysis, this country is too cruel, causing tragedies to happen one after another, and even those travelers who managed to escape gradually become distorted, hoping that the tragedies that happened to them will reappear in another person. Time will continue the tragedy again and again.

Mo Li couldn't help looking at Kino beside him.

And Kino, like Mo Li, has already thought that the source of all tragedies is the distorted system of this country, and the chill in his eyes becomes more and more obvious.

Mo Li knows.

This is the performance of Chino getting angry.

……

After arriving in the arena, Kino was pushed onto the arena by the soldiers, and her first opponent was a muscular man with a completely naked upper body and not a single hair on his head. It's a big bald head!In short, the weapon of the big bald head is a heavy chain, and at the other end of the chain is a huge iron ball - the big bald head is pulling the chain while walking on the field, and the iron ball rubbing on the ground makes people feel very harsh Afterwards, he found out that his opponent was Chino, who was only as tall as his waist, so he directly turned on the mocking mode.

It's a pity that Chino didn't care at all.

Ignoring the big bald man's sarcasm laughing, she asked the big bald man very flatly why he came here, and then asked him patiently whether he would surrender or not.

certainly--

How could a strong man surrender to a small man who seemed to have no combat power?

It's just a joke!

Pulling up the big iron ball, the strong man shook the iron chain to make the big iron ball start to spin above his head, and the speed gradually increased, making a frightening sound of breaking through the air—although it looked very powerful, but Kino defeated him with only one shot, and did not kill him.

Presumably smart people have already guessed...

Kino took out the [Canon] and shot directly at the junction where the chain connects to the big iron ball without hesitation, breaking his weapon when the big bald head showed off his strength.

"Oh! Although I knew from the beginning that Mr. Chino's marksmanship is really powerful, but I didn't expect that he could hit such a small detail with ease. Isn't it too powerful? Mr. Chino's marksmanship is better than mine. Any shooter I've ever seen is more powerful..." The soldier uncle stood at the rest area and watched the game with Mo Li, so he couldn't help being surprised when he saw that Chino was going to chain the chain with just one shot. He exclaimed in admiration, "It's a rotating iron chain! I couldn't even see clearly, but Mr. Chino hit him with a single shot! And he didn't even aim!"

Mo Li, who was forced to listen to the fuss of the soldier uncle, of course sneered a little, complaining very disdainfully that this soldier uncle is so rare!

"Kino's ability is not limited to this."

"She is strong"

"No one can surpass her in talent for using firearms"

The three lines on the notebook are all praising Chino vigorously, which is enough to prove how powerful Chino's fighting power is in Mo Li's mind!Recalling the way Kino used the persuader as if he was using a part of his body before, Moli couldn't help but recall once again that his master said that Kino was born to use guns.
