MTL - Urban Demon Slayer-Chapter 40 really cool
"Tap-tap-"
On the criss-crossed road, Li Qianqiu kept running forward. It wasn't that he couldn't take a taxi, but he was worried that Mrs. Mouse would follow him and hurt other civilians, so he chose to run.
In the headset, the voices of other players came.
"I killed a weasel!"
"I escaped!"
"How's the captain? Are you still in the alley across from Mingyue Restaurant?"
"It's gone. It's an old monster. The captain and I can't beat it. We ran out and prepared to go back to the base!" Li Qianqiu replied, while telling what happened just now.
"It's ok to run away, as long as Qingshan is not worried about running out of firewood, let's get rid of that old monster sooner or later!" The girl Zhong Xin said with her fist clenched, her body still had bloodstains from the battle.
"Captain, why don't you speak?" Solanx suddenly asked.
Only then did a few people realize that when everyone was communicating, Zhao Zhe didn't say a word, as if he had disappeared from the channel.
"Old Li, are you two still together?" Zhou Weiguo suddenly asked.
"No, we ran separately, saying that we met at the base..." Li Qianqiu was halfway through, suddenly stunned, and his footsteps stopped, as if he thought of something.
"He must have gone back!" Zhou Weiguo shouted anxiously: "Everyone, go to the alley opposite Mingyue Restaurant!"
...
in the alley.
"No!" Mrs. Mouse shouted hysterically, her wrinkled old face was full of hideousness, the spiritual power of "Rock Realm" circulated around her, and she had already exerted her strength to suckle, "Kakaka— "The branches on his body are faintly showing signs of breaking.
But it was too late.
"Crack!"
Deafening thunder and lightning struck Mrs. Mouse's body. After a thick black smoke and electric light passed, Mrs. Mouse was charred black and covered in blood, but she was still able to move and speak.
"Let go of me... Let me go..." The old lady was dying, still trying to break free from the branch.
"It's not dead yet... let's do it again..."
Zhao Zhe's face was pale, and he raised the Demon Slayer Sword to the sky again.
"Induce... thunder... technique..."
Zhao Zhe's hands trembled, and his voice slowly shouted three words.
"Boom—"
The dark clouds rolled in the night sky, and a bright and fierce lightning struck the old lady again.
"Crack-"
After another thick black smoke and electric light passed, the old lady rat collapsed to the ground, black smoke came out of her body, and gradually turned into a big fat mouse, the size of a small wild boar!
"Hey, I killed a monster at the peak of the rock realm. Those guys will definitely be proud of me. If they communicate with the monster slayers in other cities, they will definitely brag about me... It's a pity, I can't hear it..." Zhao Zhe's complexion became paler, and he staggered towards the big mouse.
"Take it... take you..." Zhao Zhe reached out and touched the demon bell at his waist, but unfortunately he couldn't take it off no matter how hard he tried.
The effect of Huisheng Pill is gradually receding, his realm has dropped back, and the injury is getting worse.
"Do..." Zhao Zhe muttered and cursed, then turned his head and walked towards Wang Qianchen.
"You... are you okay?" Standing in front of Wang Qianchen, Zhao Zhe asked softly.
"I……"
"Wow--"
Just as Wang Qianchen said a word, Zhao Zhe suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Warm blood dripped on Wang Qianchen's face and body.
Wang Qianchen looked at Zhao Zhe blankly, blood covering his eyelids, blurring all his vision.
"No... I'm sorry... I couldn't control it... Oh, it's not handsome like this, I'll make those guys laugh when they see it..." Zhao Zhe gasped, blood still pouring out of his mouth. , some dripped on his chest, and some splashed directly on the ground.
Zhao Zhe finally stopped, he slowly sat down, and then lay beside Wang Qianchen again.
Looking up, the dark night sky is full of stars.
"Brother Li told me that you want to join Monster Slayer..."
"Let me tell you, our salary is not low, but if you want to make money, don't come into this business... Really, it will be life-threatening..."
Zhao Zhe was lying on the ground, talking intermittently.
"Unless, you are really ready..."
"Guard the world, guard the city, and be willing to sacrifice yourself at any time... in exchange for the harmony and stability of this society."
"Sounds silly, doesn't it?"
"But it's really cool..."
"If you think about it, the orderly streets, the people who live and work in peace and contentment, the school with loud reading, the playground with bursts of laughter... all have your strength..."
"Isn't it cool?"
Zhao Zhe's voice became lower and lower, and finally he lost his breath, and his eyes gradually closed.
"Dad, I want to eat cotton candy!"
"Okay, at the crossroads ahead, Dad will buy you a big marshmallow!"
Outside the alley, a father walked by holding his daughter's hand.
On the opposite road, a handsome boy was holding a rose and was about to confess to the girl he liked. Next to him was his good brother who was booing, applauding and laughing.
At the entrance of Mingyue Restaurant, the manager praised several waiters who were ignorant of money, and promised to give them a salary increase next month.
At the crossroads, a group of high school students who had just finished their evening self-study were laughing and playing.
No one knew that in the dark alley, a demon slayer had died.
