Chapter 393 I Saved You
"He's thanking you."
Shark Fang looked at Linalu with suspicion. Linalu subconsciously shrank his neck when he met his cold gaze, but then he uttered a series of Xiyiqi terms that would be blocked by underage translators.
"Look at him, he is expressing his gratitude to you with all his heart," said the prince calmly.
Shark Tooth glanced at Linalu suspiciously again, then turned to look at the prince. Seeing that the prince looked sincere, he snorted and let him go.
"Who is this rude guy?" Seeing that the prince was very polite to Shark Tooth, Linalu barely suppressed his anger and asked him in a low voice.
"He saved you," the prince replied. "I have also saved your life, twice. I suggest you kneel down and thank him."
A trace of discomfort appeared on Linaru's handsome face, "Hmph, I don't need it..." He was originally going to say that he didn't need the help of the alien hairless monkey, but after glancing at the rubble in front of him, he realized that it would be impossible for him to crawl out by himself until he died. After spewing out a bunch of humiliating words just now, it seemed inappropriate to thank him immediately, so the proud and beautiful prince raised his head and changed the subject, "Alsiel, what happened?"
That's a good question.
For this guy, after being beaten unconscious, he was buried underground for no apparent reason. When he came out, the world had completely changed.
The prince condensed it into one sentence: The Black Box Society is provoking a war between the Siyiqi and the Saddi.
"Black, black box?" Linaru smelled like he had heard some ridiculous story from a distant alien planet.
"Yes."
“Isn’t the Black Box Society some kind of interstellar urban legend? No, no, no, I saw the Sadis attacking me with my own eyes.” Linaru retorted, “That fathead fish attacked me. This was all a conspiracy by the Sadis. They have always wanted to annex Xiyiqi.”
"The person who attacked you is what the black box will disguise."
"Disguise?" Linaru was stunned, and then he flatly denied it, "This is impossible!"
It doesn't really matter whether you believe me or not. But this is probably the general mentality of the upper echelons of Xiyiqi. It can be expected that there will be some obstacles in my cleaning up the situation.
"How long are you going to stand there?" Shark Tooth said impatiently.
"I'm leaving now," said the prince.
"What is this wise man talking about?" said Linaru.
"We can go now."
"Go? Where are we going now?"
"Go to the Saddi treasurer."
"Why do we have to look for the Sadis? There was an explosion just now. We should contact the government as soon as possible. Does Her Majesty know?" Linaru raised his hand and opened the holographic screen. He shouted: "What's going on now? The communication is a mess! The network is completely blocked! !"
The prince saw Shark Tooth frowning slightly. Although he couldn't hear what Linalu was saying, Shark Tooth could definitely guess that this person who was out of his element was wasting time. A bad premonition came over Xiao Zhen. If Linalu continued to do something that would displease Shark Tooth, then his life, which had just been regained would be lost again.
"And you! Alsiel! What nonsense are you talking about the Black Box Society!" Rinaru said, "Even if you saved me, that's no reason for you to talk nonsense now."
Shark Tooth walked slowly in front of Rinaru. In terms of height, Rinaru was half a head shorter than Shark Tooth, which allowed him to keep his head held high with pride. The handsome second prince still didn't realize that his life might end here, and he still stared at Shark Tooth with the arrogant eyes of a servant who was tying his lace sleeves and bow tie.
The prince started thinking about how to persuade Shark Tooth to ignore the peacock.
At this time, Shark Tooth took action.
In Linaru's eyes, Shark Fang just moved a finger slightly.
boom!
Dust rose from the ground.
Linaru turned his head slowly and stiffly.
A very smooth deep groove was cut into the wall behind him.
The tunnel wall was extremely hard for support and shockproof purposes, but Shark Tooth only moved a finger slightly, just like cutting a soft pudding.
If he had aimed at Linaru just now, he would have been turned into two pieces of corpse with smooth cuts.
The prince believed that even a larva would understand the meaning of this action - if you waste time again, I will kill you.
Linaru became very quiet. He stood straight and slowly moved behind the prince, with a look of desire to become Prince Alsiel's personal pendant and be ignored.
Okay, Sharktooth's social skills are a success.
So the next thing was their real business - finding the finance minister of the Sadis.
The coordinates the dead Sadie had given them showed the Minister of Finance was nearby.
The prince asked Linaru if he saw the Sadis before the impact explosion.
He asked twice in a row before the stiff Linaru came back to his senses. According to Linaru's recollection, he heard the unique chirping sound of the Sadis when he woke up.
"I remember it very clearly." Linaru took two steps forward, carefully avoided the location of Shark Fang, and pointed forward, "This direction."
"Are you sure?" I didn't feel any obvious sign of life there.
"Yes, I was cursing the Sadis at the time," Linaru said, "and I took note of their position."
The direction that Linaru pointed to was another branch of the tunnel, but the passage was completely blocked by rubble.
Shark Fang activated the force field weapon again, and the stones floated up like meteors. Of the hundreds of pieces of rubble, a few accidentally rubbed against Linaru's gorgeous clothes. This time, the distinguished second prince was like a dead statue, not to mention humming, he didn't even move.
The entrance to the passage was cleaned. A strong fishy smell hit him. Just as the prince had feared, he saw many corpses. They were all the horrible remains of the Sadis, piled up in a bloody mess, and some had been torn into fish strips, stuck to the ground and sand.
They were the senior bureaucrats of the Saddi diplomatic corps whom the prince had met in the banquet hall today.
Everything is going in the worst direction.
The prince said nothing, he just walked forward.
The lights inside flickered dimly, and the ground was leaking with groundwater. Several more bodies of killer whales lay before us. The body of one of them, a tall Sadie, was leaning against the pile of crooked corpses. His posture was a little strange, as if he was trying to block something with his body.
As they approached, the corpse moved slightly. The prince pushed the corpse away. A Saddi, a Saddi who was still alive, was hiding in the pile of corpses and trembling.
"Minister?" the prince asked in a low voice. "Are you the financial minister of the mission?"
The Minister of Finance raised her bloodstained face, "...Your Highness?" Then she frantically grabbed his limbs with her fins, "It's coming...it's coming..."
"it?"
The prince reached out and pulled the finance minister out of the pile of corpses. She couldn't stop trembling, and her chirping voice was hissing, "It killed my compatriots and is coming."
All the lights shook in an instant, something was approaching rapidly.
"Walk!!"
Without any hesitation, the prince grabbed the finance minister and turned to leave. This was Xiaozhen's sprint with all his strength to control the corpse. Shark Tooth and Linalu followed closely behind. As they ran quickly, collapsed rocks kept falling around them, smashing deep pits in the ground. They were like running wildly in a torrential snowstorm.
They dodged and rushed through the collapsed tunnel, and the ground just a few feet behind them was completely sucked into the vortex of collapsed dust.
The ground shook and swayed, and the prince could hear a loud rumbling noise coming from deep underground. The tunnel was being devoured by an invisible force, like a greedy giant snake following its prey. All the metal blocks, bricks, steel bars and other solid buildings around him were crushed.
Finally, guided by the light from the sky, they rushed out of the tunnel. When the prince turned around, the exit behind him was buried by the collapsed building ruins and disappeared in the gray mist. The prince saw the fear on Linaru's face. If he had hesitated at that time, the four of them would all be buried in the collapsed underground, and the chance of survival would be extremely slim.
"What is that?" Rinaru murmured.
"The Black Box Society's self-disciplined puppet. The target is Sadie's finance minister." The prince said, "Now, retreat."
The air began to twist, and a curled-up object rose from the rubble. Unlike the humanoid puppets in the banquet hall, the foreign object in front of him was more like a transparent, greasy, invisible colloid, which sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared in the real vision. It was the murderer who killed the Sadie diplomatic delegation.
"Be careful, it can use the refraction of light to hide its shape." said the prince.
"You are the one who should be careful." Shark Tooth sneered.
The battle has begun.
Its invisible blade attacked Shark Fang and the Prince at the same time.
The prince fired at it with his gun, but the dense gunfire only slowed it down a little. The prince could see the gelatinous substance curling up and emitting an unnatural yellow hue, but then it turned into a faster tentacle and attacked him. He could hear the sharp friction of his boots on the ground, and he was forced to retreat continuously by the power of the puppet. The attack and defense power of this invisible self-disciplined puppet far exceeded those puppets that Xiaozhen had encountered in the past.
Shark Fang was fighting it on the other side. His fight could only be described as dazzling. He created gusts of wind, and the sharp blades of the force field danced out afterimages. The air was filled with the whistling sound of energy colliding and the screaming sound of matter being torn apart.
Ordinary weapons are useless against it.
The prince drew out his force field sword. With a buzz, the blue light turned into a silver light, and the energy sword blade cut into the tentacles of the invisible puppet. The slippery touch gave people the illusion that they could not control the power. But Xiao Zhen's control was extraordinary. His sword blade thrust fiercely, and the speed was so fast that it was like a silver rainstorm attacking the enemy at the same time.
After a few unnatural screams, the invisible puppet retracted its tentacles. The prince did not miss the opportunity, and his sword slashed down fiercely. The air was twisting again. He could feel the puppet's painful twitching, and the prince stepped on it.
"Heart-eating demon..." He heard the puppet's hoarse voice. Then the transparent gelatinous substance suddenly began to deform. It had eyes, legs, human arms, and then it had that face.
"Heart-eating Demon, do you still remember him?" The puppet laughed hoarsely.
The prince paused in his thinking. In front of him appeared the boy, the brain-dead boy he was currently staying with. His eyes like black jade looked straight at him. He smiled and said, "Do you still remember me?"
It was Yan Zhen, one Yan Zhen, two Yan Zhen, three Yan Zhen. The puppet transformed into five, six, or even more Yan Zhens. They stood on top of each other, with pairs of black jade eyes staring straight at him, "Do you still remember me?"
I……
I should…
"do you remember me?"
"Do you remember to fulfill my wish?"
I……
Flames suddenly exploded on Yan Zhen's face.
Yan Zhen's face suddenly looked like melted rotten jelly, and the whistling bullets bounced on the gelatinous substance.
The prince turned his head.
Linaru held the gun and fired wildly, and he cursed loudly: "Get out! ! ! Don't even think about hurting Alsiel! ! ! "
Only then did the prince realize that the invisible tentacles had wrapped around his body without him noticing.
So he no longer hesitated and stabbed forward with his sword.
The hissing sound of energy as the force-field sword pierced into the gelatinous alien was like a soft lament.
No matter what kind of puppet it is, there is always a core part that controls the limbs. The prince's flying sword was like a shuttle, slashing and stabbing, tirelessly piercing it piece by piece and breaking it apart. The gelatinous matter emitted a foul smell under the burning and tearing of energy. Until finally he and Shark Fang cut into the core of the puppet at the same time.
Wave-like ripples emerged from the center, and it finally exploded.
Those transparent gelatinous fragments exploded everywhere, and in an instant they turned into colorless liquid, vaporized and disappeared into the air.
"..." The prince stared at the puppet fragments that disappeared on the ground in silence. What happened just now? Why did it change into Yan Zhen's appearance? Was it using illusions to attack the weak points? But logically speaking, his resistance would never allow mental attacks to take advantage of him. Or was it because he was not in the host after all, and the remote control caused his ability to deteriorate?
He looked up and saw Shark Tooth staring at the force field sword in his hand. The prince thought to himself that it was not good. He had used this sword to fight with Shark Tooth when he was still a child. He quickly put the sword away without making a sound. Shark Tooth showed a subtle and deep smile, which made his scalp numb.
"So, you were saved by that guy." Shark Tooth said, and he emphasized the topic when talking about that guy.
The prince looked to the other side, where Finance Minister Sadie and Linaru were standing on the ruins with lingering fear.
When Rinaru realized that Shark Fang was looking at him, he immediately turned into a dead statue. When his eyes met the prince's, Rinaru's face came back to life, with bold slogans written all over it that he wanted to announce to the world:
[I saved the life of the First Prince Alsiel! It was me, Rinaru, who saved him! ]
The prince felt like killing someone.
