Chapter 242: Sacrifice to Bolton Mechanical Town (asking for monthly votes)

Ji Xun returned to the tent and did not dare to delay. He called Song Yu and Xiao Turtle Dove and prepared to leave.

 His intuition told him that something big might be going on.

"There are some unexpected situations outside. We'd better leave now."

 “Mr. Ji Xun, what’s wrong?”

“I went to see the fighting outside just now. It was the three people from Bureau X that I had seen before. They were killed.”

 “Oh, who killed it?”

 “Vampire.”

ˆ “.”

Ji Xun has seen the combat power of the three people in Game X before.

 Although judging from the fighting situation at the scene, they should have been ambushed. But killing a third-level elite agent is not something that ordinary bandits can do.

It turns out that an unknown number of high-level card masters-turned-vampires have flooded into the refugee camp.

Boton Machinery Town is just a mining town. There are no advanced extradimensional spaces nearby, and there are not many monsters.

  There is no point for high-level card masters to stay here.

 So Ji Xun doesn’t think this is a coincidence.

There are two reasons why these people appear in Bolton Town.

 The first is the purpose of war;

 The second thing is that these vampires also come for the source of pollution.

Ji Xun prefers the second possibility.

 Normal people would not think of provoking a powerful and mysterious official organization like Bureau X.



And those vampires knew that people from Bureau

According to previous inferences, the mithril mine pointed to by the treasure map in Song Yu's hand is the source of the "vampire plague".

Ji Xun felt that the purpose of those vampires was probably the mithril mine.

However, the situation is still unclear. Ji Xun feels that he will have to wait and see the follow-up development before he can confirm more conjectures.

"good!"

When Song Yu heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

 The three of them packed up the traces in the tent and were about to leave.

 But the accident also came very suddenly.

 Suddenly, intensive gunshots sounded outside.

The previous fighting was not too loud. It was in a very remote location in the shanty town, and not many people noticed it.

 At this moment, when the artillery is launched, it is completely in the posture of a large-scale war.

Ji Xun got out of the tent and saw explosions lighting up the mechanical city in the distance.

 The city defense artillery also opened fire, and shells fell into the refugee camp from time to time.

 “Someone is attacking the Mechanical City?”

Ji Xun frowned as he watched, and his heart was full of doubts: "Why are those vampires attacking the Machinery City?"

Even if the three people who just killed Bureau X are exposed, there is no need for the vampires to attack the city.

Before I could figure it out, the whole refugee camp became lively.

 “Ouch, the war is coming again. Run!”

 “Damn it, why did you get here?”

ˆ “.”

 Hearing the sound of gunfire, the refugees woke up and panicked.

 But after all, even if they were driven from their homes by the war, they already had experience in dealing with it.

 As long as you escape the warring area, you will be relatively safe.

 Normally, both warring parties have little interest in massacring civilians.

Thousands of people got out of their tents, packed their belongings, and fled in panic.

However, at this moment, a horrific scene took place.

Among the people fleeing, some guys suddenly let out demonic roars from their throats, their eyes turned red and black, and in an instant they turned into vampires with green faces and fangs.

Before the fleeing crowd could realize what was happening, the vampires grabbed the people around them and started biting them.

 The picture is **** and horrific.

At the same time as the riot, wisps of faint scarlet mist gradually filled the air.

Here, Ji Xun and the other three saw this horrific scene before they had even taken a few steps away.

 There are so many vampires that there are murder scenes everywhere.

Ji Xun's expression was also a little surprised: "There are so many hidden?"

　　Not only are there those that run on the ground, but there are also those that have wings and can fly in the dark sky.

 He clearly sensed the energy of the nearby vampires.

 Dark and violent, really like a demon.

Looking carefully, each of the vampires became more ferocious after sucking blood, and their strength increased significantly visibly to the naked eye.

And those guys who were obviously bitten to death by having their blood sucked out, stood up tremblingly in a blink of an eye, turned into new vampires, and joined the team chasing other refugees.

 “It turns out it’s really polluted like this”

Ji Xun carefully observed the status of the vampires around him and confirmed the transmission route of the contamination.

  In other words, if you don’t get bitten, it won’t be a big problem.

At the moment, it seems that it is not too difficult.

But quantity is an issue.

Seeing so many vampires appearing at the same time, Ji Xun suddenly realized a question: "Why does it feel like some kind of sacrifice ceremony of the Old God sect? Are these guys going to sacrifice these refugees?"

 Not many people can understand this posture.

 But he is one of them.

Ji Xun is familiar with the "Silver Moon Secret Book" of the Silver Moon Sect, and knows many of the secret sacrifice methods of the Old God Sect.

 Usually, you can get a response from the gods by sacrificing spiritual objects.

 Humans are excellent sacrifices, with high spirituality, large numbers, and weak strength.

 It’s not just the Silver Moon Sect who often does this.

It seems that the old believers who involve the old gods like to do this.

ˆ˜hiss.

 It actually involves the old gods?

With the thought, the danger level of this incident suddenly skyrocketed.

Ji Xun's expression became serious, and he thought in his mind: "No wonder it attracted people from Bureau X to investigate. Is there an old **** behind this vampire plague? But what kind of evil **** is this?"

Any pollution incident involving the gods of the past is not simple.

And to be able to organize such a large sacrificial ceremony, there must be strong believers in God behind it.

At this moment, Ji Xun became more and more sure of his suspicion. Those guys were here for the secrets in the mithril veins!

Just as he was thinking about it, the little turtle dove next to him shouted urgently: "Mr. Ji Xun, be careful!"

At a glance from the corner of his eye, a vampire rushed towards Ji Xun's back.

However, this Katu-level monster poses no threat to him.

Even without warning, his senses had already captured the monster's whereabouts.

Ji Xun didn't want his gun and torch to make too much noise, so he raised his foot and swung his whip leg around, hitting the vampire's head heavily to the ground like a steel whip.

It looked like he was still alive, so he chopped him up again.

 The sound of a cracking skull was heard with a "click".

　　After killing the vampire, he turned around and glanced at the little turtle dove who was clenching his fists and preparing to attack him. Ji Xun smiled and praised: "Not bad. His observations and reactions are very sharp."

Although I have only practiced basic boxing for five days, my progress has been very rapid.

 What’s even more rare is that he already has the fearlessness and courage to face monsters at a young age.

Little Turtle Dove heard the compliment and touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Thinking of something, Ji Xun threw a gun at his waist to him and said, "Take it. In case of an accident, protect yourself."

"Um!"

Little Turtle Dove took the gun and nodded seriously: "Mr. Ji Xun, I can do it!"

There have been training firearms these days, and it is no stranger to.

 The little guy skillfully pulled the bolt and loaded the gun.

Ji Xun did not dare to delay and was ready to leave first.

　　No matter what those vampires are going to do, staying in Bolton Town is not a good choice.

Song Yu also followed obediently.

She had never experienced such danger before, and her expression could not hide the fear.

But looking at the mechanical city that was already in flames of war, she seemed to have thought of something again, and her crystal eyes were full of worry.

 She can escape.

 But the Rose Chamber of Commerce still has hundreds of people in Bolton City.

 Most of them were chamber managers, guards and servants she brought out.

These people are almost all people who have watched her grow up and are close to and trust her.

 In this situation, it may be difficult for everyone to survive.

 If I didn’t take them out, maybe. maybe

 A deep feeling of guilt came over me.

Ji Xun sensed something, turned around and saw the complexity on her face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Yu hesitated, looking like he was hesitating to speak: "I"

Ji Xun looked at her expression and asked, "Are you worried about the people from the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Um."

Song Yu also knew that he could not hide it, so he nodded.

Although she also knew that there was no point in worrying, she was still worried.

As she spoke, she glanced at Ji Xun apologetically.

  She knew that she was causing trouble by saying these useless words at this moment.

ˆ “.”

However, Ji Xun's expression showed no abnormality after hearing this.

His eyes reflected the flames of war on the Mechanical City. His thoughts turned around and he came up with some guesses. He said something profound: "Don't worry too much. Maybe they will escape soon."

Hearing this, Song Yu cast a doubtful look: "Huh?"

 At the same time, the battle in the Mechanical City was brought under control within a short period of time after it broke out.

A mysterious man wearing a scarlet cloak led a group of vampires to attack the city lord's mansion.

 They successfully penetrated the convoy and quickly took control of the lord of the Mechanical City.

Baron Bolton, covered in blood, was lying weakly on the ground, begging.

"You are saying that a contract has been signed for the handover of the lords of Mechanical City?" "Yes."

“In other words, I’m still a step too late?”

“Mr. Song, I have promised to sell the Machinery City to your Song family. Please let me live.”

“Tsk, tsk. Sell it to the Song family, not to me.”

ˆ “.”

The interrogator was a middle-aged man with a sinister look and a mustache, and he had no intention of letting Baron Bolton go.

Hearing this, the guards around him immediately broke the little lord's neck.

 A lord without lord authority has absolutely no use value.

This middle-aged man with a mustache is none other than Song Chengyi, the head of the third house of the Song family and Song Yu's third uncle.

As soon as Baron Bolton died, the blood on the body seeped out from the skin drop by drop, and then gathered on the mysterious man wearing a blood-colored cloak.

When Song Chengyi saw this strange scene, his expression didn't look strange at all. He just murmured: "My niece's tricks are quite hidden. While she was sending the news back, she had already implemented the handover of the lord. I really want her to do it." If you succeed, no one in the Song family will be able to suppress this little girl who is in the spotlight."

“It’s a pity that I found out too late. If I had known a few days earlier that the girl had obtained the [Prospecting Map], we wouldn’t have caused so many accidents.”

Song Chengyi thought of something, turned his head and glanced at the man in red robe who was sucking blood, frowned and said: "Your men are really useless. You were asked to kill someone, and you actually missed it?"

The man in red robe responded unceremoniously: "Your Excellency, you should think carefully about the information you gave us! Didn't you say there are only a few low-level guards? How did the secret guard named 'Chaoyang' appear? ? Without that guy, we would have completed the mission a long time ago. Not only have we lost a group of people, but the key is that even the people from Bureau

ˆ “.”

 Hearing this, Song Chengyi's expression was not very good.

 He knows that there is no point in holding anyone accountable now.

His face darkened for a moment, and he turned to say: "The war between Earl Fremont and Senator Bourne is about to end. The eyes of the federal congressmen have already shifted, and they soon learned the truth about someone deliberately provoking the war behind them. . We have to speed up the process."

The man in red robe said in an awkward tone: "I haven't obtained the [Prospecting Map]. It's very troublesome to find the exact location of the sealed place. Although I should be able to get revelation from the gods after sacrificing these refugees, it may take several days. . I’m afraid that if those guys from Bureau

Hearing this, Song Chengyi looked very solemn and sighed: "Let's find a way to find someone."

The man in red robe asked helplessly: "How to find it? I got the news that your niece had escaped, and I have been sending people to intercept on the roads to major cities, but no one has been encountered. Now there are so many Damn it, I definitely don’t know which city he escaped to.”

Hearing this, Song Chengyi sneered: "I watched my niece grow up. Although she is a bit young, I have to admit that that girl is very ambitious and thoughtful. Even if she encounters difficulties, she will always be there. I will never give up easily.”

As he said that, his fox-like eyes turned, and he already thought of something: "Now it seems that she has bought the lordship of Bolton Town, and has immediately sent someone to Dragon City to wait for the filing receipt. As long as she has purchased the lordship of Bolton Town. When the receipt is received, she will become the legal lord. Therefore, I guess she may not have escaped from the beginning to the end, but is hiding somewhere in the refugee camp, waiting for news."

"oh?"

The man in red robe also became interested when he heard it. He thought why he didn't think of this, but then he thought again and said: "But the sacrificial ceremony has already started outside."

Song Chengyi said calmly: "Most of the refugee camps are ordinary vampires. With the protection of Chaoyang, she will not die so easily. Let the people below pay attention. If there is really a big noise, the person will be found."

As he spoke, he changed the topic and added: "However, I guess it is difficult. If that girl is really hiding in the refugee camp and has not been discovered by your people for so many days, it must be that Chaoyang's hiding methods are not bad. . I couldn’t find it before, and I may not be able to force it out now.”

Man in red robe: "What should we do?"

A sneer emerged from the corner of Song Chengyi's lips, and the plan came into being instantly. He said: "Let the people from the Rose Chamber of Commerce out and kill a few of them at the right time. My niece is kind-hearted. As long as she is really nearby, she can probably fish them out."

　　Red-robed man: "Then I'll go there myself?"

Song Chengyi: "Forget it. The sacrificial ceremony cannot go wrong, and we need you even more here."

　　Red-robed man: "What about 'Chaoyang'? That guy hides so deeply and is very scheming. He may not be able to see through your decoy plan."

Song Chengyi didn’t take it seriously and said, “It’s just a secret guard. You think too highly of him.”

After a pause, he continued: "I read Loki's autopsy report carefully. There were dozens of fatal wounds all over his body. This shows that the battle was very intense. I estimate that 'Chaoyang' is only at the late second level of strength, otherwise It won't take so many moves to kill Loki. It's enough to let Cole go."

The man in red robe seemed reasonable and agreed: "That's right."

 On the other side, the refugee camp was already in chaos.

 “Help, someone come and save us!”

 “Where did this **** vampire come from? Ah, I was bitten”

ˆ “.”

Screams, cries, cries for help, heart-rending screams. One after another.

Tens of thousands of refugees are rushing in all directions, but the casualties are getting more and more serious.

 The number of vampires exceeded expectations, and the sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

Moreover, you will be infected immediately after being bitten, and the number of monsters is still growing exponentially.

　　The several roads leading out of Bolton Town were blocked by dense monsters.

The **** mist has gradually thickened, obscuring people's vision.

Ordinary people's vision is blocked, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction; smelling the disgusting smell of blood in the air, they are already in a trance.

 Terror is spreading like a dam.

The vast majority of the refugees were originally ordinary people. Even some card disciples and first-level card masters were surrounded and strangled by the vampire army in the blink of an eye.

 This was a one-sided killing.

Ji Xun led Song Yu and Little Turtle Dove all the way up the hillside. The fog was useless to his vision, and he found the correct escape direction along the way.

However, he can't change anything.

Those **** believers have been prepared for a long time, and there are still experts in the mechanical city making arrangements.

Even if a high-level card master comes to this scene, he will not get any benefits.

 It happened to be a coincidence that the three of them had not run for long when they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire not far behind them.

 Looking closely, a group of people wearing armors and holding heavy-fire firearms and mechanical equipment rushed out.

This Bolton City is a small town, and there are not many groups with the ability to break through.

 The Rose Chamber of Commerce is definitely number one.

 After all, they are here to protect the president Song Yu.

 Captain Sam himself is a veteran second-level player, and the Chamber of Commerce’s security guards are also top-notch in strength and equipment.

At this moment, they led a group of survivors in the city and rushed down.

There are too many people, and the movement cannot be covered up.

In order to dispel the **** fog, they also rushed out with flares all the way, making them very eye-catching.

Song Yu took a look and recognized those familiar people at a glance, and looked shocked: "Those are people from the Chamber of Commerce!"

 While she was anxious, she was inexplicably shocked.

Because seeing this scene, she instantly remembered something in her mind, and turned her head to look at Ji Xun with extremely shocked and expectant eyes: "Mr. Ji Xun, you...?"

If she remembered correctly, this person just said, "Don't worry too much. Maybe they will escape soon."

 In other words, he had foreseen this situation a long time ago? !

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the group of people from the Rose Chamber of Commerce, and thought to himself: "Hey, did you guess it right?"

 It was not sure before.

  Just speculated on one of the possibilities.

 But now that he saw that the Rose Chamber of Commerce and others could escape from the Machinery City alive, he confirmed that the "mastermind" who had paid to kill Song Yu before was probably here.

The black hand who was able to arrange the previous series of assassination plans must be a sophisticated person.

 It seemed that the guy knew Song Yu's character very well, so he guessed that she might not have escaped.

 This is how we came up with the current plan.

 Otherwise, based on Ji Xun's understanding of the Old Sect, since those guys dared to make such a big move and sacrifice a city with blood, they must be capable of destroying the Rose Chamber of Commerce and others.

 If it is released now, it can only be used as bait.

Thinking about it again, the three of them chose this intersection where there were very few vampires, which was obviously deliberately released.

 It seems that they are just waiting for some "masters" who can discover the flaws in the sacrifice array to find them, and then high-level vampires will come to kill them.

 Perhaps, he had no intention of confronting those high-level card masters who had the ability to escape.

However, the vampires Ji Xun and the others encountered along the way were instant kills and did not reveal much.

Even if you really want to escape, you can escape quietly.

Now, the group of vampires drove the pursuing Rose Chamber of Commerce and his party in this direction.

Ji Xun looked at the expression and became amused.

Song Yu is also very smart. Although she is anxious, she also forces herself to calm down.

 Watching people in the chamber of commerce being killed while running away, she also realized that there might be a conspiracy.

 But she had no choice but to look at Ji Xun for help.

He didn’t dare to speak.

 Because Song Yu knew that he could only survive now because of this friend.

 But no matter how strong he is, there is only one person.

Just when Song Yu was filled with despair and thought he could only watch his companions die.

But he heard an indifferent voice coming from his ear: "You want to save them?"

"I"

Song Yu was stunned when he heard this, thinking he heard it wrong.

But turning her head to look at the face that had not changed from beginning to end, she was stunned for two seconds before she realized what she was doing. She asked excitedly and uncertainly: "Is it okay, Mr. Ji Xun?"

Ji Xun looked at the group of people in the distance, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "You can try it."

At the end, he added: "But I can't guarantee how long I can live."

Hearing this, Song Yu's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded sharply: "Yeah! Yeah!"

 These words are enough!

At this moment, she seemed to have heard the most exciting words in the world.

 After getting along with each other for a few days, this young lady from a wealthy family now has an almost blind trust in Ji Xun.

 As if what he said can be done!

Song Yu looked at the side face that seemed to be shining, and for a moment he felt that there was a strange attraction. He couldn't help but worry, and said: "Mr. Ji Xun, please. If. If it's too dangerous, please Always ensure your safety first.”

Ji Xun smiled and said nothing.

Ji Xun is not trying to show off his talent.

 But there are other plans.

 Because according to Old Man Song's guidance on destiny, Ji Xun most likely cannot change his "destiny".

 In other words, Song Yu will not die here.

 But if Song Yu doesn't die, he probably won't die either.

 Otherwise, if he died here, Song Yu would not come back to find him a hundred years later.

Since the result of "cannot die" is known, Ji Xun's mind became active.

　　Although the Old Church and the like are dangerous, they are also a great opportunity.

Judging from the situations he has encountered, those old believers were involved in the secrets of the top level of civilization.

These vampires in front of me are trying to kill a three-person team in an X-game and then make a sneak attack. It shouldn't be a big deal yet, so they may not be able to do a wave.

 Maybe there will be surprises.

 And Ji Xun also has some other ideas.

 He looked at the energy of the chasing vampire, put a smile on his face, and said to himself: "You are really underestimated?"

  PS. Asking for a guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month
