Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 220
"How did you come, Jack. Aren't you on vacation today?"

Seeing Jack knocking on the door and coming in, the old man took off the reading glasses inlaid with gold rims, turned his head and smiled warmly like a kind elder: "After working outside for so long, I finally understand the importance of academic qualifications." , Do you want to go back to school?"

"It's not me looking for you, Professor. It's them."

While saying this, Jack pointed to the three people nearby with his chin: "It is said that SSI asked for help. It is for Lord of the Flies."

Arranged by distorted beliefs, it is a cult group that has lost its sensibility.Without the evil god and leader, no matter how big the organization is, it will not be surprising if it completely collapses overnight.

Although Jack hasn't found out what the reason is, there is only one thing that can be understood.

That is, after John Pluto Smith died in battle, those wizards had lost their last scruples and entered the world under the sun boldly.The Los Angeles City Police and SSI seem to have been brainwashed on the surface. They maintain a soft policy towards the remaining magicians in Los Angeles. Fake, by the way, disarm them to prevent them from making trouble.

Under such circumstances, a foreign magician who has received an invitation letter will come to find him... No matter what, Jack can't lose this last plan.

Even if he is the only one, Smith's revenge must be avenged——

"You are……"

With loose but still firm hands, Joe Benster put on his glasses again, and looked at the three people standing aside full of doubts.

If I remember correctly... the surface layer should have given up the short-term plan to deal with Lord of the Flies.Why would you hire a magician from an international...

But the more he looked at it, the more he felt a certain kind of strong uneasiness.

The old man felt his eyebrows beating unstoppably.Especially the tallest black-haired young man, there was an increasingly strong sense of familiarity coming from him.But when he thought about it suddenly, Benster couldn't remember who he was for a while.

...Where did that boy Jack pick up these three returned people?

"We're meeting for the first time, let me introduce myself..."

At this moment, Ying Zheng took a step forward and said softly.

In his instant, the soft and quiet air spread out in all directions.In an instant, the university's research room has fresh air like an afternoon coffee shop.

This move made Benster suddenly serious.

He wasn't half-baked like Jack, he was undeniably a professional magician.Professor Benster naturally knows how high a skill in magic is required for this move.

But just as he was still thinking about which young hero he was, the next words of this "young hero" scared Professor Benster's heart almost to a halt——

"I am Yingzheng. Yingzheng of Italy."

Ying Zheng introduced with a smile: "This is my protégé, Erica Brantley; this is Lu Yinghua, the sect master's protégé...he is not brought by me, he is here on behalf of the sect master."

"..."

Benster stuttered.

Finally recognizing who this person is, Professor Benster looked embarrassed, and quickly stood up from his seat.

Swallowing nervously, the old man's loose cheek muscles trembled.

Before him, Ying Zheng took the first step and said softly: "There is no need to apologize, teach. There is a good saying in the East, those who don't know are innocent."

"...It's all because of my old eyesight."

Professor Benster opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly in a low voice: "I am sincerely looking forward to seeing you. Please forgive me for my inconvenient legs and feet, so I cannot make a big salute."

"Probably. Sit down and teach, don't be nervous."

Ying Zheng smiled lightly, raised his hand slightly, and a warm force helped Professor Benster sit down again.The heavy sofa floated up into the air like a weightless balloon, floating towards the three of Ying Zheng.By the way, Ying Zheng also took a seat for the bewildered Jack.

After a while, the old man, whose hands could not stop trembling from the sudden fright, gradually relaxed.

"Sure enough, he is the virtuous king of Italy," Professor Benster couldn't help but praise, "That...cough, although the king of swords is also the king of Italy, he has almost the same personality as that marquis..."

"Tony has been to America?"

Ying Zheng asked in surprise.

With a complicated demeanor, Professor Benster nodded heavily.

Probably because he was afraid that Yingzheng might misunderstand, he quickly added: "You don't need to worry, we have handled that matter peacefully and amicably. Thanks to Mr. Browntree's old ways and quick actions... You see, the foundation has been rebuilt now. "

"...It's really hard for you."

Although it is not very clear what exactly happened, Ying Zheng can probably guess a thing or two from Professor Benster's reply.He sighed, feeling inexplicably sympathetic.

After Tony got this power, the demolition office was indeed better than the demolition office... After all, he still demolished the place?
"Wait, wait a minute..."

Looking at this scene, Jack felt that he was indeed one head and two big.

Joe Benster is an old man who has helped the hero for ten years.The person who can make him respect so much... Where is the boss?And the magic...

... What monster did I bring back?

The more Jack thought about it, the more he felt the hair on his back, and he couldn't help asking Professor Benster in a low voice: "Professor, this guy... I mean who is this master?"

Then he was glared at by the old man.

"Isn't the existence of John that guy a cover for you?"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, it's semi-public."

The black old man shook his head and nodded again, and replied: "Many people have witnessed Smith's shadow. Although it has not been confirmed whether it exists or not, many people believe that Hades has been guarding them in the middle of the night. It's just that many children don't know the existence of Godslayer."

"in this way."

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and nodded, and asked slowly, "Professor. The purpose of my coming here is very convenient, that is, to find John Smith."

"...Sorry, sir, I have to tell you that you are probably late."

Hearing this, Jack sighed, "Unfortunately...Smith has left us forever in a heroic way."

"Just rest assured and wait for the hero to return, Jack," Ying Zheng said with a smile, "It's just an explosion of that level. It can't kill him yet."

Hearing this, Jack froze for a moment.

"You mean—"

His dim eyes gradually brightened with plans. He wanted to grab Ying Zheng's clothes, but Lu Yinghua gently grabbed the collar by the side, then swung it around and threw it back again. went back.

Ignoring Jack who screamed "Wow" and fell on the sofa, Ying Zheng said slowly: "I think the senior management of SSI probably already knew about it, but maybe Professor you don't know yet——the ship containing Anshela's bones has already been It’s almost time to arrive in Italy. According to the time calculation, they will be able to pass through Sicily from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] tonight. There is not much time left for you.”

"Are you going to be born again tonight..."

Professor Benster sighed: "I still want to delay it for another day or two. I don't think Smith will return by then."

"...Pause, Professor."

Jack, who was nearby, struggled to get up from the sofa and stared at Professor Benster with a frown: "Are you hiding something from me? Didn't Ansheela and Smith die together in the battle?"

There was anger in Jack's voice.

In the past three days, he went deep into many dark dens, desperately searching for the reason why the Lord of the Flies is alive, and he still hasn't found out until today.

But listening to the conversation between Ying Zheng and Professor Benster, it seems that these two people knew from the beginning that Anshela and Smith were not dead?
"...Because Anshera is the Leviathan who does not follow. She is an immortal snake. She can also wake up behind her back. Don't you think it is incredible? Smith, who can overcome any enemy, why did she fight with her opponent this time? Burn all jade and stone?"

Speaking in an annoyed tone, Professor Benster threw the book in his hand to Jack.

"As the professor said, the name of the silver snake is Leviathan... The fast-moving snake, the curvy snake. As the goddess of ocean currents and the earth, it is only natural that she possesses immortal divinity. Her The corpse is now being guarded by magicians from an organization called 'Lord of the Flies', who are planning a great magic trick to bring her back to life."

Ying Zheng nodded, and whispered in a quiet and gentle voice.

Jack, who didn't know much about magic, let out a troubled sigh.But this hopeless state at least he can distinguish: "So now you want to find Smith, who doesn't know where to drink? Pull him back by the collar, and punch him 'last-minute rebirth'" Cancel the thought, right!"

"Don't bother."

Ying Zheng said softly: "I came here just to confirm the ownership of the prey... If it is a king who has never seen it, if their prey falls into my arms, I will probably stay silent." I grabbed it and ran away. But it happens that John and I are very close, in order to prevent misunderstandings in the future, we need to clarify the matter in one breath-does she want the disobedient snake after all?"

"……what are you talking about?"

Looking at Ying Zheng's tone of hunter who seemed to be talking about "Don't snatch that stag from me", Jack looked bewildered.

On the contrary, the old man on the side replied to him: "This is not new, Jack. Because this lord is also a fighter of the same level as Smith. What I hesitated before was that I continued to wait for Smith to return, and simply asked for other The godslayer who helped to deal with it... This can be regarded as a disturbance in Los Angeles, and it is an unshirkable responsibility for us to deal with her."

"...Isn't it deceiving? Existence that rivals men? How can this kind of superman in this world—"

"—Yes."

The reply to Jack's words was a gentle voice from the door: "This gentleman who always smiles like an Italian may not be stronger than me."

The reply to Jack's words was a gentle tone from the door.

The heavy wooden door was pushed open with a creak, and there was a sound of "cracking" that made Jack feel very familiar.

It was the metal high-top of the boots tapping the ground rhythmically, like the characteristic firm footsteps of a medieval knight in the game.

There is only one person who speaks in this tone and makes such footsteps.

Always come one step later, there is always a man who is late but never panics or apologizes.

"Smith, you bastard! If you have already returned, why didn't you contact us earlier?!"

With a touch of joy, Jack turned around and cursed loudly.

Closing the door casually, a man dressed uniquely came into the room.The face is covered with a black racing helmet, and the eyes are covered with eye patches that look like compound eyes of insects.

"It's great to see you have energy, Jack. I also just came back not long ago, and I came here as soon as I came back. Uh... wait a minute, you don't think I've been knocked down, do you? In that case, it would be too underestimated." I am, I am so sad..."

Flipping the black shawl like in a vampire movie, the guy whose face was covered slowly walked over.

Under the shawl is a large black uniform in the style of a modern European court, and a black cape is worn behind him. No matter from any angle, he is a complete weirdo, and he can simply participate in a masquerade ball without any attire.

Squinting his eyes and watching his walking posture carefully, Ying Zheng showed an inexplicable smile.

...It's really frank.

The slender figure, like a dancer's elegant cat-like walking posture, can conjure up the best image most conveniently.She is a naturally neutral voice, the most depressing and magnetic when lowered, and can easily pass for a masculine voice.

Make no mistake—John Pluto Smith was Anne Charlton.

In the past, the reason why she turned her head away immediately after seeing Ying Zheng was probably because she went to change clothes and hurried back.When Ying Zheng came to Los Angeles and came to Samantha University, he probably had nothing else to do except to find her.

There have been many reminders, not to mention those Los Angeles citizens who just watched her from afar, and have not been able to confirm her identity after close contact and getting along day and night for ten years... This kid Jack is more than what Yingzheng imagined. I have to stay a lot longer.

In other words, this setting is the same as that of hero comics, as long as you wear black-rimmed glasses, put on tights, or change your hairstyle, you will be another person?

And will the people around her be forced to lose their memory and especially cooperate with her acting performance to turn a deaf ear...

"Don't forget, Jack. I am Pluto—is this the name you gave me? Remember it well, even if I die and fall into the underworld, I will return to the cage again one day. This is the law of nature."

A melodious male voice came from Annie's helmet.

Although you can't see her expression, you can probably tell that she is indeed smiling by looking at her shoulder and listening to her tone of voice.

Walking to Ying Zheng who was sitting on the sofa, Annie looked down at Ying Zheng and paused slightly.

"Yo, long time no see."

Ying Zheng smiled and reached out to say hello.The raised palm collided with Annie's moderate fist, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Long time no see. Did you bully the old man, my brother? Professor Benster's legs are not very good."

"Of course you didn't notice that we were all sitting and chatting. Besides, you also know that I am a pacifist, and I have always been a simple, kind, gentle and elegant modern upright young man. You are right, my... Yeah, brother."

Ying Zheng replied with a chuckle, stopping mysteriously at a certain byte.

Hearing Ying Zheng's response, Annie froze for a moment, as if she was disconnected.

Probably because she understood something, her whole tone was a bit weaker, no longer the usual mysterious and artificial tone: "Cough, ah... yes. Ying Zheng, you are right."

Before this, Annie couldn't help but want to tease Ying Zheng with a few words, such as "Have you returned to the underworld with a new posture recently?", "Have you developed a new shape recently? The people around me" and so on. if.But when he heard Ying Zheng's inexplicable and profound words, he suddenly stuck the black history that Annie almost talked about out of his throat.

...almost choked to death.No, that's not right - what you have to make sure is that your compatriots recognize your true identity. This is really the worst situation!

Objectively speaking, none of the godslayers is rash.What they set their sights on will be done no matter what, which is why they are called the sons of fools.Being able to insert oneself into the trajectory of other people's lives, reversing the routine and luck, this kind of tricky thing, if it is the other godslayers, it will definitely be done——

"Yes, Smith."

Realizing that Annie was in a bit of trouble, before Jack realized something was wrong, Professor Benster, who was dragging his injured leg, quickly interrupted: "King Yingzheng came to you to discuss something. It's about Anshela."

Although on the surface they are professor and assistant, they were friends ten years ago.Professor Benster is also one of the few people who knows the true identity of the masked hero "John Pluto Smith".

"That's right, John. Anshela is not dead. As long as the ship reaches the coast of Syria, she can be reborn in the full posture of the Earth Goddess. By the way, for some reason, the leader is also very careful about her existence." , Eagleization is for this purpose.”

Glancing at Professor Benster who interjected privately, Ying Zheng and temporarily let Anne go, and replied in a serious voice: "It's very convenient for me to ask you what to say--the group of little potatoes jumping continuously now It's not far from my territory. If you want to kill him personally, I suggest you go there yourself. Although I believe that you can definitely do it to the extent that you use magic bullets to cross one-third of the earth's surface...but if you miss , If it is too powerful, I will not spare you if it involves my territory."

Just in case, if you don't want to go out, don't let go.

Ying Zheng's words were full of such expressions.

The reason why he came to find Anne in person was very convenient, that is, he was afraid that when he and Leviathan, who did not follow him, were in the middle of the fight, a few magic bullets would suddenly hit the friendly army.

Once when Annie was chatting with Ying Zheng, she said that her magic bullet could trigger the destructive power to destroy the country.It's true that Ying Zheng doesn't want to use his body to try his luck - Ying Zheng can't get rid of the danger of the land-washing model.

"Snake of disobedience. A strong enemy that cannot be ignored is indeed a big trouble, but the small-timers in Los Angeles cannot be ignored."

Anne immediately regained her energy, cleared her throat, and responded in a dramatic tone as usual: "In this case, I will withdraw from the hunt as you wish, and you can reward me with a generous gift. If you don’t collect the owed debts, plan you to do this kind of plan.”

"If you translate it, it means that you really can't get away from the magician."

Without any hindrance, Ying Zheng skillfully summarized Anne's words into one sentence, showing an excited smile.

"A big gift? Ah, I did plan it."

Hearing this, Annie was immediately stunned.

This guy... doesn't play by the rules.

Generally speaking, when I said this, and Ying Zheng replied politely, I took advantage of the situation and simply ran away.One day far away, if he remembered this incident, he could use this as an excuse to find him something useful.

I can't stay for too long now... "Annie" said before that she would come to Professor Benster for a while, and if she was dragged here by Ying Zheng, Annie wouldn't be able to come here for a long time... so afraid of suffering.

Let me go out and change my identity back, you bastard...

Under the cover of the racing driver's helmet, Annie answered Ying Zheng with a dissatisfied expression.

Probably feeling Annie's answer, Ying Zheng smiled, stood up very leisurely, coughed unhurriedly, and straightened his clothes.

After a long delay, Ying Zheng said unhurriedly: "Actually, the generous gift I brought is very convenient...that is myself."

"……what?"

Annie froze for a moment, almost not understanding.

She turned her head to look at Erica and Lu Yinghua who were standing up with Ying Zheng, and she suddenly understood.

……I remembered.

When she was in the secluded world, she complained to Ying Zheng that she possessed extremely powerful power, the power that even if all magicians were tied together, they could easily handle it.But those slippery catfish-like rodent-like disgusting guys are like a bad disease that cannot be eradicated at all.

In a sense, this is related to the witch-hunting movement during the colonial period and the struggle and reconciliation of indigenous elf beliefs in North America...it is a fundamental national condition.Magicians have almost become a specialty in this land—the kind in a negative sense.

They are entangled with various systems, their tentacles penetrate into every corner of life, and their influence spreads to people from all walks of life and all walks of life.If you don't go in and do an in-depth investigation, it is completely impossible to find out whether a certain person is related to the magician, whether he is a magician himself, or whether he has provided help to the magician or been threatened.

These guys who completely use supernatural ability as a golden finger to gain status and real advantages are indeed more local snakes than local snakes.

Annie has the power to surpass them, but she only suppresses the limits of the behavior of these sorcerers into the ground, but she cannot get rid of them at all.Especially the city of Los Angeles, due to the existence of the "Angel's Bones", has attracted the largest number of sorcerers in the United States, and is known as the base camp of troublemakers.

There are Anne's own problems though.She is different from all other kings. She doesn't like to build a kingdom of her own, and she doesn't like to be worshiped as a king.So she is not like Yingzheng and Luo Hao, who can mobilize all the magicians in her hometown.Even among the public under her protection, there are still a small group of people who think that Annie's existence is the source of the unrest, and therefore hold an aversion to her.

"——Your method is wrong."

At that time, Ying Zheng was lying on the ground with his hands behind his head and responded indifferently: "The sequence is wrong. It should be you who took the initiative to exterminate them, instead of waiting for them to cause trouble before going to put out the fire. As long as you don't have a clone ability, they just need a little coordination and cooperation to keep you on your toes."

It sounds easy to say, but the problem is how to eliminate them!
Facing Annie's words, Ying Zheng just shook his head repeatedly.

"Then when I'm free, I'll go over there and help you. I don't dare to shoot them completely to death in one go, but I can do it if I can shoot them enough to give you some time off."

With a plain smile, Ying Zheng said something that sounded like bragging.

"I understand... Are you here to fulfill your promise?"

Recalling the incident more than a year ago, Anne came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows and asked, "I believe you can get rid of the magician, but if you use the means of destroying people's lives, I will stop you—— Also, is it okay if you don’t go back and deal with the Snake of Disobedience?”

"Don't worry. Since I'm here, everything has been arranged."

Ying Zheng showed a soft smile, and the fingertips of his left hand shone with a soft silver-gray light: "The sign to send me back has been engraved, and I can say 'biu' within a second with just a phone call." Go back. I am the strongest magician in the world, don't underestimate me."

"...You said that you are the strongest magician, but I really believe it."

Annie nodded with mixed feelings: "I seriously only see you as a magician who can liberate you from the nether world and cross the realm of life and death with only magic."

"Actually, there is one person," Ying Zheng corrected with a chuckle, "if he is the leader, he should be able to do it."

"The Hierarch of the East..."

Sounds like a very willful guy.
