Chapter 515: Temporary Compromise
"No!"
"Ronnie, my friend!"
"Damn it, who is it? Come out!"
On the shore, everyone in Eagle City was horrified.
Right before their eyes, Ronnie became a headless corpse without even having the chance to give them a hug.
Looking at Ronnie's fallen body, they were filled with rage and fury. Their bodies were shaking with anger and they all vowed to find the bastard who had attacked them secretly.
"There he is!"
The Lord of Eagle City had a fierce look in his eyes, like an eagle, swooping down towards a corner of the port.
The sound of the God-killing Gun is quite loud, and even with a silencer it cannot be suppressed. Moreover, a burst of heat will burst out the moment the bullet leaves the gun, which can be easily sensed by high-level psychic creatures.
Therefore, exposure of the shooting location is inevitable.
Su Xia was well prepared.
He waved his hand, put away the God-killing Spear, and then flew directly above the sea.
"boom!"
The Lord of Eagle City missed his target and looked unhappy.
He suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes directed straight to the sky above the sea. Although Su Xia had become invisible, he still locked onto Su Xia's location.
After all, the air flow caused by Su Xia's actions cannot be concealed.
This is the shortcoming of Su Xia's stealth ability, which Zhuang Ren pointed out before.
Su Xia also knew it, but he was not in a hurry. He just hid in mid-air and looked at the Lord of Eagle City from a distance.
"Francis, is that you? Come out here!"
On the shore not far away, the deputy city lord roared at Su Xia, his eyes red.
Apart from the Gun King Francis, who else could approach this group of advanced psychic creatures silently and kill Ronnie with one shot?
The Lord of Eagle City was relatively calm. He took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "No, Francis is still in the Western Continent. He just attended an event in Lion City yesterday. It's impossible for him to come to the Eastern Continent so soon."
"If not him, who else could it be?" asked a minister.
"There are many high-level killers in the Zero Point Tavern, but there is no reward for Ronnie in the tavern, which means it was not done by their registered killers. Those killers only do things for money."
"Having deadly weapons, being able to fly, and being invisible, just imagine..."
"Masked man?"
Several ministers were shocked and all thought of this code name.
It is widely rumored that the masked man has a gun that is exactly the same as the gun of the gun king Francis, and one shot can take the life of a high-level creature!
It is said that Fan Lu from the Zero Point Tavern was killed by that gun.
But Zero Point Tavern has always denied it.
However, as senior officials of Eagle City, everyone present knew that the rumors were true.
It is also well known that the masked man has the ability to fly and hide.
"Masked stranger, is that you?" The deputy city lord roared again, and terrifying energy waves burst out from his body, and his hair stood up.
"Damn masked weirdo, if it's really you, just show up. Are you too scared to admit it?"
"What's the point of hiding your head and showing your tail?"
"You, the Masked Stranger, are a celebrity after all. Why are you acting like a rat?"
The deputy city lord and several ministers were all roaring, their voices filled with rage, and they wished they could rush to the sea and tear Su Xia into pieces.
Unfortunately, among them, only the Lord of Eagle City has the ability to fly.
The rest can only fly with the help of mechanical tools.
Mechanical tools are nothing more than jokes in front of the masked man's metal abilities.
They were angry and helpless, and they all thought that Su Xia would choose to leave. After all, this was the killer's rule: after killing someone, they had to retreat immediately and try not to reveal their identity and whereabouts.
However, what they didn't expect was that Su Xia actually removed the invisible nanorobots on his body.
"Yes, it's me."
He spoke in a calm tone and appeared in front of these people.
This time, he didn't plan to hide.
The Longcheng incident involved his father and almost led to his father's death.
Even though he killed Ronnie, Su Xia still felt uncomfortable, so he showed up and asked indifferently: "I killed him, do you have any objections?"
His sudden appearance made all the people from Eagle City on the shore pause.
But soon, they reacted and spoke angrily again.
"Masked stranger, we have no grudges against each other. Why did you kill Ronnie? When did he ever provoke you?" The deputy city lord asked loudly with an angry face.
A minister nearby pointed at Su Xia and angrily scolded: "We are all human beings, but our enemies are all mechanical beings. Don't you feel guilty for doing this?"
"Oh? Are we both human?"
Su Xia smiled, a little coldly, and asked: "The people of Longcheng also belong to the human race, but you are trying to start a civil strife. Where is your conscience? Have you fed it to the dogs? Or do you think that even dogs won't eat it?"
"Sure enough, it's because of the Dragon City incident."
The Lord of Eagle City had a cold look in his eyes; he had already figured out the problem.
According to historical records, Commander Bei Feng was a good friend of the masked man and had saved the masked man's life.
Commander Beifeng was involved in the Dragon City incident this time.
"Masked stranger, I need an explanation for this matter." The Lord of Eagle City stared at Su Xia and said slowly.
"Just you?" Su Xia asked coldly with a cold face.
"Masked weirdo, don't be so arrogant!" The deputy city lord shouted, "This is the East Continent, not your Central Continent. You killed someone from Eagle City, and you want to leave without giving me an explanation?"
"Oh? What explanation do you plan to give to Long Cheng?" Su Xia asked with a sneer.
"Let's keep things separate ! These are two different matters!" the deputy city lord shouted angrily.
"joke!"
Su Xia's face was indifferent. He waved his hand and the submarine below instantly deformed.
With a few crackling sounds, the entire submarine seemed to be under unimaginable pressure, and it shattered within just a few seconds after being deformed.
Boom!
The dozen or so people left in the submarine were crushed into pieces on the spot. They didn't even have time to scream. Their bodies exploded and no trace of their bodies was left.
"Is this the explanation you want? Is that enough?" Su Xia sneered with an extremely tough attitude.
"you……"
When the deputy city lord saw that scene, his eyes popped up, fire almost spitting out of them, and his chest was about to explode with anger!
The dozen or so people in the submarine were also members of Eagle City.
They had nothing to do with this matter at all, they were just responsible for underwater navigation, and they were killed by Su Xia just like that!
"Masked stranger, you are looking for death!" The deputy city lord roared and roared angrily.
"What? You want to kill me?"
Su Xia sneered, glanced at everyone, and said, "Can you kill me with all of you? If you can't kill me today, I will go outside Eagle City tomorrow and kill everyone who comes out until there is no one left in your Eagle City!"
"you……"
Hearing Su Xia's bloody words, everyone on the shore felt a chill.
They could tell that Su Xia was not lying.
He will really block the gate of Eagle City!
He is a level six creature who can fly, fight, and become invisible, and he has all kinds of weird props and abilities.
If we fail to kill him today, the future of Eagle City will surely be filled with blood!
On the shore, a minister gritted his teeth and shouted, "Masked Stranger, don't you consider the human race? The human race is now in decline, and our actions in Dragon City are only for the future! Are you willing to start a human civil war between Dragon City and Eagle City?"
Su Xia gave him a cold look and said, "It's none of my business!"
"you……"
The man's tone froze, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The others turned their eyes to the Lord of Eagle City.
Now, both sides have made their words clear. Although they are angry, they have no way to deal with Su Xia. They can only wait and see what the Lord of Eagle City has to say.
The Lord of Eagle City looked at where Su Xia was, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Masked Stranger, now that things have come to this, we both owe each other nothing. From now on, we will each do our own thing and not interfere with each other. How about that?"
As soon as he said this, before Su Xia could say anything, the others became anxious.
"City Lord..."
This is undoubtedly a compromise!
But Ronnie died right in front of them, and more than a dozen submarine soldiers died just now. How could they compromise?
Su Xia's tough and intimidating look made them even more unwilling to compromise!
But then, the words of the Lord of Eagle City sobered them up from their anger: "You all have families, I won't say more, think about it yourself."
Hearing this, the others fell silent.
Yes, if Su Xia really wanted to, with his stealth ability, it would not be a problem for him to sneak into Eagle City.
What will happen to their families then?
Is he also going to run to Longcheng and kill the people of Longcheng?
Will both sides continue to kill each other?
By that time, no one could laugh.
The Lord of Eagle City looked at Su Xia and said loudly: "Masked Stranger, what do you think of my proposal?"
"Can."
Su Xia responded coldly and said, "Keep your claws to yourself. If this happens again, I won't give you another chance to negotiate."
After saying this, his body slowly disappeared and he entered invisible mode again.
On the coast below, everyone in Eagle City had red eyes.
So frustrating!
It’s so frustrating!
They were angry and unwilling, but helpless and could not even find a channel to vent their anger.
"hateful!"
The deputy city lord roared, smashed the sand in a circle, and energy exploded, creating a creepy giant pit.
This is really too much!
Su Xia knew what they were thinking, but he was not worried. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Some time ago, Longcheng was in a panic due to various rumors and almost completely split.
How can I not give something back for something like this?
Su Xia left the port and did not return directly to the Central Continent. Instead, he flew towards the dusk, intending to find a place to stay first.
"There is no news about my father in the Central Continent. Perhaps they have already arrived in this continent."
Su Xia wanted to find her father's trace, after all, she was already here.
The last time Dad's team appeared was in Seahorse City. If their direction of action does not change, they will most likely reach the southern coast and come to the Eastern Continent by ship or submarine.
At that time, the Mechanical Clan had not yet blocked the sea, trade between the two continents was smooth, and sea cruise ships were constantly traveling back and forth.
With the capabilities of Dad's team, it was easy to come to this continent.
Time passed slowly and three hours went by in a flash.
The sea breeze at night is very gentle.
The waves gently hit the beach, and the waves rolled, one layer after another.
The hazy silver-white moonlight gently covers the sea, beautiful and moving, like a layer of floating veil.
“Huff…”
The evening breeze blew Su Xia's hair.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening.
When he flew into the area, he spotted a giant cruise ship stranded, so he slowed down and planned to spend the night there.
There are still many troubles in Longcheng, so he cannot move all night, otherwise he might be distracted and run into mechanical creatures.
"Let's stay here tonight."
Su Xia walked on the beach, slowly heading towards the cruise ship.
The waves surged, taking away his shallow footprints.
The cruise ship looked old, with patches of rust on the exterior, leaving only the dark red color of the rust. There were four large chimneys emitting smoke on the surface, making it look like an industrial product from the last century.
Under the cover of night, this rusty cruise ship looks like a sleeping behemoth that will never wake up again.
Out of caution, Su Xia always wears life-sensing glasses.
"Why is there still someone?"
He was surprised to find that there was still a living being on this cruise ship that had been stranded for who knows how many years.
It was a person, in the staff cabin of the cruise ship.
He was sitting, looking up at the hazy moonlight outside the window, motionless, as if reminiscing about something.
"Is it a wanderer?"
Su Xia slowly floated onto the boat, not too worried, as he did not sense any danger from the man.
He entered the cabin, found the rusty stairs, and walked down to the staff cabin below. The dull footsteps echoed in the cabin.
Before he could get closer, the man in the cabin below suddenly moved his hands.
Then, pleasant piano music floated out from the decayed cruise ship.
"He is playing the piano..."
Su Xia was surprised that there was an intact piano in this stranded and dilapidated cruise ship, and was also surprised at the man's superb piano playing skills.
The sound of the piano is extremely soft, as gentle as the rolling waves outside, which matches this beautiful night very well and is unforgettable once you hear it.
He slowed down his pace so as not to disturb the other person with his footsteps.
Accompanied by the sound of the piano, Su Xia slowly came to the staff cabin below.
Su Xia saw the person who was playing.
The man had golden hair and was wearing a black performance suit. He sat in front of the small round window, moving his fingers lightly and his eyes seriously, pressing each key smoothly.
The soft moonlight shone through the small round window, falling on him and leaving a touch of white on the piano, separating him from the decay and darkness around him. He looked particularly beautiful, like a moving painting.
Su Xia sat down slowly and listened quietly to the piano.
It seemed that he had not rested for a long time. At this moment, surrounded by the sound of the piano, a feeling of tiredness surged in his heart, and he almost wanted to lie down and rest immediately.
He enjoyed it very much and listened carefully until the end of the performance.
“It sounds good.”
Su Xia said to the person by the window with a smile on her face.
The man smiled and responded: "Thank you, it's been a long time since we had any guests here."
"This cruise ship has been abandoned and no more guests will come." Su Xia told him.
"I know." The man replied softly.
"Why don't you leave? With your ability, you can find a good job on shore." Su Xia asked him.
"The land is too big." He responded softly, his voice as gentle as the sound of his piano.
He raised his head and looked at Su Xia with a smile. His eyes were like the endless sea, blue and clear.
"Dear guest from afar, can you do me a favor?" he asked.
"What's up?"
"Please help me take this record to a friend on land. She lives in New Testament City." He slowly leaned over and took out a record wrapped in paper from a drawer beside him.
The look on his face softened as he looked at the record.
At this time, a prompt popped up in front of Su Xia.
[You triggered the mission "Record"]
[Mission details: Go to New Testament City and hand over the record in the pianist's hand to a girl living at "27 Mott Street"]
[During the mission, you will get unexpected information]
