Embers Ad Infinitum

Amidst the slaps that ignited the atmosphere in the arena, the noble's cough was completely drowned out, and no one except his companions heard it.

But the way he fell to the ground, his face that turned red, his expression that was twisted in pain, his eyes that were about to bulge, his body that was bent as hard as he could, and the water glass that fell out of his hand and shattered into pieces, all made it impossible for everyone in the box to ignore. .

At this moment, Long Yuehong seemed to have witnessed a tragedy, a tragedy in which she quickly died due to trivial matters and accidents.

This cast a shadow over the hearts of all those who witnessed it.

Jiang Baimian subconsciously wanted to go over for first aid, but as soon as her butt came off the chair, she stopped abruptly.

Then, she held down Shang Jianyao's arm and signaled him not to worry.

At the same time, she turned her attention to the bay where General Phocas was.

The lion-like general looked at the noble who had entered a state of suffocation with deep eyes. He was not in a hurry, panic, or impulsive. He just watched quietly, as if he was enjoying a drama.

After a few seconds, he seemed to figure out what happened and said to the guard beside him:

"Look outside."

He had no intention of sending his subordinates with more first aid experience to rescue the noble.

The other nobles in the box, because of their close connections, either looked at him with confusion or led their servants to help.

One of the two major targets of the "Old Tune Team", Ole's grandson Marcus was not very familiar with the nobleman. He just withdrew his eyes from the arena and glanced at the opponent who was starting to turn blue.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.

But this smile didn't seem to be directed at the unlucky noble who choked him to death.

Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze in confusion. Like Shang Jianyao, he followed the gaze of General Phocas's guards and looked around the noble box.

The situation in the arena that they had observed before came into their eyes again:

The auditorium surrounds the venue below, stacked one above another, with different aisles set aside in rows. Except for the noble box, the rest of the seats are open-air with special handrails for slapping.

In each area, there is a sign erected, and the top of the sign is a huge mirror that can reflect people.

So many mirrors reflect the sunlight, complementing the bulletproof curtain wall of the noble box.

Jiang Baimian was not sure whether this was the folk custom of the "Primary City", after all, she had never heard of it before.

With a quick glance, she and Shang Jianyao saw several security personnel walking from the entrance to the aisle, as if to maintain order in this overly heated atmosphere.

They quickly walked to a place more than 20 meters away from the noble box, and motioned to an audience member to follow them.

"Why?" the audience member asked loudly.

He looked like an Iceman, or possibly a Yargei among the Red River people. He was over 1.9 meters tall, blond, blue-eyed, and burly.

At this time, he looked angry.

The leader of the security personnel said coldly:

"This is our authority, there is a case that requires your assistance in the investigation.

"Don't worry, I won't delay you from watching the game, if you have no problem."

As he spoke, he and his men raised their submachine guns.

The spectator muttered:

"You better find out something is wrong."

He no longer resisted, left his seat, and walked slowly to the aisle.

Seeing the security personnel surrounding him, he suddenly opened his legs and ran wildly outside.

This comes without warning.

The security personnel were caught off guard and rushed over by him, so they had to turn around quickly and try to catch up.

But in the process of turning around, they seemed to have degenerated into children who had just learned to walk, unable to grasp that kind of balance.

thump! thump! thump!

Without any confrontation or interference, this security guard fell onto the steps of the corridor and fell so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.

If their submachine guns hadn't been slung on their bodies, they would have lost their weapons in this fall.

"The Awakened One"... The nobleman choked and was close to death just now. Was it his fault? This distance should still be at the level of the "Origin Sea"... How did they locate the murderer? Jiang Baimian's heart moved, he turned around and looked at the victim again.

The noble fell to the ground, surrounded by several companions, and was receiving first aid from another noble.

Around him, the spilled water soaked into the floor, supporting the white cup fragments.

Jiang Baimian quickly turned his attention to the awakened people who were fleeing.

This guy was very strong and very fast. He distanced himself from the security personnel in two or three seconds and headed straight for the exit.

During this process, he deliberately used other spectators to cover his body to avoid being shot from far away and around him.

The gunmen in the distance are naturally other security personnel, and those around them are some spectators.

You must know that the citizens of "Primary City" have always been full of martial virtue. It is common for them to draw their guns when encountering similar things.

Bang, bang, with sporadic gunshots, the tall, strong, blond man with blue eyes was approaching the exit, where there were several security personnel.

He didn't have any fear and rushed forward with confidence.

At this moment, his feet suddenly staggered.

Pong!

He fell heavily on the flat ground without any obstacles.

In Jiang Baimian's eyes, his legs were so stiff at this moment, as if they had been filled with lead and no longer belonged to him.

"Lack of movement in both legs?" Shang Jianyao said in a small voice and a rather excited tone.

"It's a bit like it." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

Long Yuehong also noticed the situation over there and saw several security personnel at the exit rushing over. They lowered their submachine guns and shot at the awakened person who fell to the ground.

The training they have received tells them that when encountering similar enemies with weird abilities, they should never think that they can catch them alive unless the opponent is unconscious.

Da da da!

Sparks erupted from the dark muzzles of the guns, and a large number of bullets poured into the rough and strong man with blond hair and blue eyes.

Hey... Long Yuehong sighed softly when he saw this.

In his mind, an awakened person, no matter what level he is at, is very strong compared to ordinary people.

But even such a strong man is still extremely fragile in front of hot weapons.

The gunfire stopped quickly, and the awakened person jumped up, not even hurt at all!

Long Yuehong's eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out.

And the ability to not be afraid of gunfire? There was only one thought echoing in his mind.

Unable to see from his position, there were countless bullet holes on the platform where the blond man fell, forming a human silhouette.

All the bullets "avoided" the target and traced outlines around him!

In two or three steps, the awakened person rushed to the entrance.

Suddenly, a rope fell from above.

The rope was so curved that it looked like some kind of snake at first glance.

The awakened person's pupils dilated sharply, and without thinking, he pulled out his weapon and shot wildly at the rope.

However, no shots were fired.

What he pulled out was not a pistol, but a lighter.

His pistol was still firmly planted on his waist.

In the sound of pop, pop, pop, the lighter kept emitting flames, but it had no effect.

Finally, the security personnel from before rushed back.

This time, they didn't dare to use their guns again, for fear of encountering the incredible thing again.

Under such strafing, they actually missed one shot!

This is simply a miracle!

They either pounced on the opponent, hoops them, or drew out electric batons to paralyze the target, or waved their fists in an attempt to stun the enemy.

Strangely enough, their operation went surprisingly smoothly this time. The man had been struggling with the rope and did not realize that he was holding a lighter instead of a pistol.

Finally, he fell to the ground again and lost consciousness.

Afraid of snakes, no, of twisted creatures, to the point of losing your mind? When Jiang Baimian saw this scene, a term flashed in his mind:

"Twisted Shadow"

April is the year of the year, "the shadow of distortion".

Seeing the awakened person being dragged away, Jiang Baimian, who had no idea what was going on, withdrew his gaze and looked at each other with Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.

"Just watched an assassination farce?" she laughed softly.

While speaking, she glanced at the noble who almost choked herself to death from drinking water.

At this sight, her eyes suddenly solidified.

The nobleman was sitting in his original position, with no trace of suffocation on his face.

On the table in front of him, the white glazed porcelain water cup that had been broken into pieces was still there, intact.

The corresponding ground was dry, with no water stains visible.

Following the gaze of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong also discovered this scene. For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was real and which one was false.

With the sound of banging and banging, the iron fences on both sides of the arena below were slowly raised.
