Chapter 46: A game of cat and mouse
The heavy wooden door was pushed open by Liu Mengchao. There was no dust flying in the sky walking in front of Liu Mengchao, nor was the light suddenly dimmed. There was only an old man standing there with his hands in front of him, looking at Liu Mengchao from the ground.
.
"Have you killed Caesar?"
As the old man spoke, he stretched out his left hand and slowly turned the red diamond worn on the ring finger of his right hand. This diamond continued to emit a moist light like running water in this small room.
"He is your son?"
Liu Mengchao looked at the old man's slightly droopy eyes and said with a smile.
"The next leader of the Templars. But this is our destiny, isn't it?" the old man said, opening his arms towards Liu Mengchao, "Since the birth of mankind, the Templars and Assassins have been hostile to each other.
, who lives and who dies is a normal thing. What's more, such a long-standing battle is about to come to an end."
As the old man spoke, he slowly opened his arms. Liu Mengchao knew that this was not a sign of surrendering and letting himself be slaughtered, because the old man's body suddenly split apart in front of Liu Mengchao.
Five identical old people, wearing snow-white robes, wearing a huge red gemstone ring on the ring finger of their right hand. There are wrinkles everywhere on their faces, looking like tree roots that have experienced thousands of years and have crawled out of the earth again.
Get up, cheer up and start a new life.
"You are quite distinctive in appearance."
Liu Mengchao said with a smile. There was almost no trace of hair on the old man's head. But in contrast, his eyes were even more cloudy, like a monster with a huge mouth, constantly devouring everything around him.
of sunshine.
"Haha, young people nowadays are really good at talking." The old man shook his head indifferently. Only now did Liu Mengchao notice that the old man's chin was bare and there was no hair on it. He only heard the old man continue to say. "But now you
You can't kill me."
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, gunfire rang out.
The black ebony wood and the white ivory sprayed out bullets in no particular order, and instantly passed through the eyebrows of the five old men. In the middle of the eyebrows, there was the gentleness of the bullet.
So Liu Mengchao smiled softly.
The blood flowers did not bloom on the old man's eyebrows. He was still smiling happily, as if nothing had happened. His two eyebrows, which were completely gray, were trembling happily, as if they were laughing at Liu Mengchao's helplessness.
"Try again?"
The old man said with a smile, leaning forward slightly.
"Whoa!"
The Sword of Rebellion was pulled out from behind by Liu Mengchao and slashed directly at the old man. In just the blink of an eye, the broad and hard Sword of Rebellion had passed through the old man's body, splitting his whole body into two.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Mengchao saw the old man's body squirming slowly like a worm and joining together in the air.
"It's useless, right? I have become a god now. No matter what kind of attack, it is impossible to hurt me."
The old man said with a smile, his left hand kept stroking the ruby ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and said with a sneer.
"That seems to be the case." Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows. His eyes focused on the ruby ring on the ring finger of the old man's right hand. "Isn't the ring on your hand the reason?"
"A very keen observation. As long as I have the Piece of Eden, I will be immortal." The old man said with a smile. "No matter what kind of attack is imposed on me, I can be resurrected again. This world is already mine.
It’s in my bag. Ah, I almost forgot to mention that your death date has been decided.”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Liu Mengchao sneered. He saw Liu Mengchao striding forward. He sat on the old man's chair and looked up at the phantom floating in front of him.
"Actually, you are no longer in the basement." Liu Mengchao said, seemingly not paying attention to the expression on the old man's face. He just glanced contemptuously at the corner of his mouth, "When my figure disappeared from the surveillance screen, you had already left this basement.
Escaped from inside."
As Liu Mengchao spoke, he reached for the microphone and cleared his throat.
"Gao Xiaowan, can you hear me?"
"Crack!"
As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, the skull on the surveillance screen disappeared instantly, and Gao Xiaowan's pale face appeared in front of Liu Mengchao again.
"Did you see that?"
As Liu Mengchao spoke, he measured his body slightly and made way for the old man behind him.
"New technology? Void appearance?" Gao Xiaowan in the picture smiled slightly and said to Liu Mengchao, "This kind of appearance suits your taste very much, Liu Mengchao."
"you……"
The old man almost roared in surprise, but Liu Mengchao ignored the five phantoms of old men standing beside him, and even did not dodge the attacks directed at his eyes.
Whoosh!
The phantom passed directly through Liu Mengchao's brain without any contact, and just blew past Liu Mengchao like a breeze.
"You have already demonstrated this ability in St. Peter's Basilica. Am I stupid enough to be fooled again?" Liu Mengchao said, his brows raised and his face full of a sarcastic smile, as if he was looking at a person.
A smart-ass idiot.
"Since you won't be fooled again, why are you here again?" The old man looked at Liu Mengchao with a sneer, "Do you particularly like doing such futile work?"
"In vain?"
Liu Mengchao turned around and looked at the phantom of the old man suspended in front of him, and smiled.
"Then please look behind me!"
As soon as Liu Mengchao finished speaking, the screens that had been plunged into darkness suddenly started to move. Every corner of Rome flashed across these screens instantly, including frolicking crowds, kissing couples, and pedestrians walking on the streets.
"You...just want to know what I look like?"
"You finally figured it out?" Liu Mengchao said with a smile.
At this moment, Gao Xiaowan's voice came from behind Liu Mengchao, "We have discovered this old man, Liu Mengchao, I will leave the rest to you."
Hearing Gao Xiaowan's words, Liu Mengchao stood up with a smile and smiled at the old man standing in front of him, "It's game time again. I think you must have played such a game, right? Cat and mouse. Now, I
It's the cat, and you are the mouse."
"Even if you catch me, you can't kill me."
The old man spoke slowly, and the phantom floated away with a bang in front of Liu Mengchao, like the sunlight that was suddenly extinguished. Only the dark basement was left, still accompanying Liu Mengchao.
Liu Mengchao chuckled and shook his head, nodded to Gao Xiaowan on the screen behind him, turned around, and closed the heavy wooden door.
There was only a soft bang as Liu Mengchao lifted the heavy, cold wooden door.
Standing at the entrance of the long and narrow tunnel from which he came, Liu Mengchao smiled and looked at the person who reappeared in front of him. The old man's son, a man named Caesar.
He staggered up from the ground, grinning, and even though there was a bloody hole in his throat, he still staggered towards Liu Mengchao.
He has lost his life, but he has regained his life.
A life belonging to zombies.
"Whoa!"
The sword of rebellion directly cut the zombie in front of him into two. Liu Mengchao walked forward without any hesitation and stepped on the limp corpse.
In front of Liu Mengchao, the zombies that had originally blocked him stood up one after another. They each swayed their bodies, clasping their hands on the wet and muddy wall, groping like blind people, and walked towards Liu Mengchao.
Liu Mengchao smiled slightly and walked directly into the group of zombies. Liu Mengchao lowered his head slightly and shouted softly, "Devil May Cry Sword Master mode... activate!"
"Whoa!"
Silver light suddenly rose in this dark and narrow tunnel, like a bright moon rising in the dark night. This moon walked forward tenaciously. No matter what kind of zombie it was, it was illuminated by the moonlight, and then became soft and soft.
fell down.
The long-lost sunshine appeared above Liu Mengchao's head again, and he raised his head with a smile.
"Long time no see, the sunshine of Rome."
With a slight push of his feet, Liu Mengchao jumped up.
Standing in the Piazza Venezia again, feeling the warm wind blowing from the Mediterranean Sea, Liu Mengchao smiled unconsciously. The wind was still lazy and always seemed to be full of reluctant emotions.
It’s just that the entire Eternal City, Rome, seems so quiet and a little scary.
"Hey! Hey!"
A radio suddenly sounded in the city.
"I'm Gao Xiaowan, Liu Mengchao, can you hear me now?"
Liu Mengchao nodded slowly.
"The old man you want to hunt seems to have set up some trouble for us."
"trouble?"
Liu Mengchao said with a smile.
"Yes, it's troublesome."
As soon as Gao Xiaowan finished speaking, Liu Mengchao noticed that at the end of his field of vision, zombies in twos and threes came out of the corner of Venice Square.
"The only pure land in the world seems to have been polluted." Gao Xiaowan's words on the radio were full of mockery, "In other words..."
"He's scared."
Liu Mengchao smiled and said what Gao Xiaowan wanted to say, and walked forward.
As long as he finds the Templar leader hiding in Rome, he can snatch the Piece of Eden he possesses, the ruby ring worn by the old man on his right ring finger, and then...
"Save the world?" Liu Mengchao whispered to himself, but he laughed first, "It's just to create a good enough world for the people I care about." (To be continued...)
