Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

The meeting place was a teahouse.

Nanling City is very big. Even if you live in this city, everyone's activity circle is often fixed, and it is impossible to completely understand every corner of the city.

This teahouse is very old, with a total of three floors, and it has a long-lasting style from the last century.

Even the interior decoration is quite quaint... even shabby.

The teahouse is run by an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman who looks like a standard tenant. The teahouse is not opened to make money, so the cleaning is not diligent. There are tea stains on the table and desk, which can be found on many old objects. A glimpse of patina.

Bai Yu went up to the second floor. The charterer sitting on the first floor didn't even move. She just raised her eyelids and took a look without any reaction at all.

There was an old man sitting on the table by the window on the second floor.

He is the only customer in the teahouse at this moment... He looks quite old in appearance. Although there are no age spots, there are many wrinkles on his face, his hands are also gray, and there are almost no traces of muscles under his gray coat. , like a layer of skin and bones, and the finger joints are covered with thick calluses.

Sitting there, he seemed to be an old being along with the whole building, like an old tree, with countless growth rings hidden in the bones and blood under the skin.

The feeling this old guy left on Bai Yu was very similar to when he faced Huo Qiushui, but it was different at the same time.

If the Sword Saint is as profound as a deep pool, then this old man who is neither mountainous nor leaky gives people the feeling of withered bones and open eyes.

"It came very quickly." The old man raised his hand and said, "Sit down."

"Are you the one who wrote the letter?" Bai Yu got straight to the point: "Any clues about Tai Sui?"

"That's right." The old man nodded: "He and I are old friends."

"Tell me about it." Bai Yu pressed his hand on the table.

"There's no rush." ​​The old man grinned: "Before we start talking, I still have something to do..."

The words just fell.

Huang Qixia, who also showed a vigilant look on her side, felt some kind of violent trembling, and her vision blurred for a while. She looked down and saw the pattern of the Bagua array lighting up under her feet. At this time, it was too late to pull away, so she stepped down hard and tried to He trampled the formation to pieces, but the next moment, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Bai Yu was also aware of it, and stretched out his hand to try to break through the space, but a counter-shock force made him realize that it was a mysterious obstruction.

Even though he had torn apart the space and penetrated the outer wall of the formation with his bare hands, he still could not stop this space teleportation.

Because his fingers touched Huang Qixia, the index finger and thumb of his right hand were also taken away during the spatial transmission.

Tick ​​tock tick…

Blood dripped from the wound on the severed finger.

Bai Yu turned around and looked at the old man, holding the weapon in his hand.

"Don't worry." The old guy picked up the tea cup and said slowly: "Shouldn't you ask me about my identity first? Don't you want to know where she went? Don't you want to know more about other things from me?"

"Young people, don't be too impatient...On the contrary, you will expose your flaws in vain." He shook his finger: "If you insist on being impatient and take action now, the old man will naturally agree."

In the brief silence, Bai Yu kicked the floor away and saw a damaged strange object from the hollow floor. The spiritual light was gone and full of cracks. It broke into two halves with a light touch. It could be seen that it was a waste of light. all times.

"The Innate Universe and Bagua Array..." The old man raised his hand and picked up the broken strange object: "I used it once decades ago, and now it is the last time. It was destroyed after use. It is a pity that this thing has been used for a thousand years. antique."

After Bai Yu sat down, he took out the big red bottle, opened the bottle cap, soaked the cut of his severed finger in the red bottle, and waited for the fingers to recover. At the same time, he asked: "Who are you?"

"I'm old and have a good name."

"The gun-smelling ghost." Bai Yu said in a low voice, "So it's you. It's you."

The Sword Saint reminded him that this person was extremely obsessed with the title of Spear Leader, and his obsession became a demon. He did not hesitate to kill all the young people who might challenge his position as Spear Chief. As a result, the inheritance of spear skills in Daxia is almost cut off today.

Gu Ming picked up the teapot and shook it, causing the tea leaves to tumble: "You know Lao Chan, and you should know what Lao Chan is here for, right?"

"Are you here to take my head?"

"Well, I haven't been watching for more than ten years, and there is a monster like you in Daxia, and he is also a gun user. It really makes me feel uneasy." Gu Ming nodded and admitted: "However, there is no need to rush to take action now. Let’s have a chat first so that you don’t end up dead as a fool later.”

Bai Yu sneered: "Did I thank you?"

"This Bagua array has only one function, which is to transport people to fixed coordinates." The old man began to say, minding his own business: "Huang Qixia was sent to another place, and there will be a madman like Lu Shuihu waiting there. she."

The two ten evil men, Crazy Owl and Gun-eating Ghost, have joined forces... Bai Yu's heart sank. This was one of the worst scenarios he had ever imagined.

Gu Ming did not look at the change in Bai Yu's expression and continued: "She is not too far away from here, but it is located a hundred miles away. Starting from here, 32 degrees east by south, go straight for a hundred miles. If you gallop with all your strength, In the past, it won’t take long to arrive.”

Even the location was pointed out. Is it true or false?

"There's no need for me to lie to you." Gu Ming turned the tea cup with a playful and malicious look on his face: "If you want to go there, you have to think carefully...after all, I won't let you go in vain. I hope you take the initiative to expose your back. Come."

Bai Yu had already stood up at this time.

"You are still too impatient." Gu Ming said, "I haven't finished my words yet."

"Why, can you really tell me the identity of Tai Sui?"

"That's impossible?" Gu Ming shook his head and said, "After all, I don't know either. Tai Sui is one of the incarnations of the Demon Ancestor. He has always been mysterious. Moreover, Tai Sui lurks in the mortal world and can change his identity at any time. How can he be so easy to find? You don't have to doubt that I am lying. There is really no need for that."

Bai Yu said coldly, "It's the same as saying nothing."

"In fact, the situation you are facing today was caused by Tai Sui, whether it was me who came to you or Kuang Xiao who came to Huang Qixia."

Gu Ming said slowly. Old people are always patient. Even if he has been crazy inside, his appearance and conversation do not show any madness at all. His emotions are well controlled. He obviously wants to kill people, but he can't sense any killing intent.

When the gun-eating ghost said this, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Hey, I forgot another thing..."

"Oh, I forgot there is one more thing..."

"Tai Sui set up three traps for you."

"The first trap is a trap for me to kill you; the second trap is a trap for Kuang Xiao to kill Huang Qixia; and the third trap..."

"It's for your girlfriend, what's her name?"

"Zhen Shifang's daughter... Oh, right, Tao Rusu."

"She is also a member of this trap."

Bang——!

Silently, the tea table was cut into two pieces from the middle and fell towards the middle, but the teapot and teacup were strangely suspended in the air, like a fixed sticker.

"She has nothing to do with us." Bai Yu suppressed his boiling emotions: "Why involve her?"

"Whether she is irrelevant or not, it is not up to you to decide, and it is not up to me to decide... But since it can make you emotionally fluctuate, it proves that she does have value, and this time Tai Sui's layout is still effective."

The Gun-Eating Ghost sighed and said: "Zhen Shifang's daughter has arranged an assassin to find her... Although it is not Fengsheng who directly took action, I think Tai Sui's layout will definitely not be too easy, and her situation may be more dangerous than Huang Qixia."

"Now, it's your turn to make a choice."

"Go to help Huang Qixia."

"Or go to save your girlfriend."

"And no matter which one you choose, I will definitely keep an eye on you. Once you leave this teahouse, I will kill you."

"Of course, you can also choose nothing and just think about self-protection. If you concentrate on dealing with me alone, I think self-protection should be enough."

He directly threw out a dilemma, put his hands into his sleeves, and his fully opened eyes were sinister like a poisonous snake hiding in the bushes waiting to ambush.

Huo Qiushui's evaluation of Gu Ming is correct and accurate.

This old man is a madman. He will do whatever it takes to kill the target he likes, as long as he can get rid of Bai Yu, no matter how despicable it is.

But he didn't do anything to achieve his goal. On the one hand, Tai Sui had already arranged this trolley problem in advance to tie down Bai Yu's energy and consume his mind; on the other hand, he was extremely inferior and crazy, but also quite arrogant. He didn't take Bai Yu seriously and thought that he would win in a one-on-one match.

Trolley problem.

Bai Yu felt a headache after thinking about it.

No matter how you choose, there is no right choice.

I have seen a sand sculpture picture before: there is a train with two tracks. One track has a person tied to it, and the other track has five people tied to it. If you choose the upper track, the people on the other track will be crushed to death by the train. At this time, you usually have no choice. You can only watch, because you are just an ordinary person, passing by with a newly bought toilet plunger in your hand.

To put it in a more high-end and classy sentence, it is - dogs and pigs eat human food without knowing how to check, and there are starving people on the road without knowing how to complain.

Normal people will never encounter the trolley problem... Even if they encounter it, they usually don't make a choice, but lie on the rails and beg for help.

This is also the reason why Bai Yu was a superpower in his previous life but didn't show off. He knew from the bottom of his heart that once his ability was exposed, he would definitely encounter similar troubles and such thorny problems.

Now it has really come true, and it is right in front of him.

Not only Huang Qixia and Tao Rusu, but even his own life is on the scale for people to weigh.

Damn, his mother is unhappy.

"Have you thought about it?" Gu Ming said calmly: "I don't mind waiting for you for a while, but if you delay for a few more minutes, the result will be uncertain... Saving people is a matter of seconds."

"I have thought about it." Bai Yu stared at the gun-eating ghost and raised his middle finger that had grown back: "I will kill you first, it won't take long."

...

At the same time, on the other side.

"You are Ziweixing..."

Tao Rusu knew that she was unlikely to get away, that was a serious canonization.

It is likely that her strength is at the same level as her biological father.

"Don't be so nervous, little girl." Ziweixing said with a smile: "Come to think of it, you should thank me."

"What should I thank you for?" Tao Rusu thought: "Is it because you want to get rid of Huang Qixia, which is equivalent to helping me get rid of my love rival?"

Ziweixing's expression became a little subtle: "You are a little girl with a flexible mind... Hearing what you said, Huang Qixia really charmed Bai Yujing? How far have the two sides reached?"

"The step of negative distance contact."

"She is quite calculating, using Bai Yujing as a shield." Ziweixing's eyes were slightly cold: "But this can't stop the archers, let alone Luohou."

"Why are you here?" Tao Rusu's eyes turned to Dijiexing... Did this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes betray him?

"I'm here to get rid of your love rival." Ziweixing is a big sister who loves to laugh, and she doesn't look as depressed as other archers.

"Then I thank you?" Tao Rusu blinked: "Can you let my boyfriend go?"

"It depends on his performance." Ziweixing ran five fingers through her hair: "But you, little girl, have encountered a lot of troubles. Zhen Shifang, that bastard, caused a mess by himself. He threw his own daughter out as bait, which is really like the behavior of an anthropomorphic creature worse than beasts."

"That's right." Tao Rusu also had a huge resentment, and then reacted: "Huh? There really is an assassin? Where is it?"

"You can't find it now." Ziweixing pressed Tao Rusu's shoulder: "Because you are currently in my mirror world, little girl, I will save your life, but you need to cooperate with my instructions later."
