Apocalypse Magician

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the mountain city where Li Xingkong appeared.

In the church area of ​​​​the city, the wind and snow were blowing on their cheeks. The bishop and the knight finally felt the bone-chilling cold of the ice and snow, and cold sweat trickled down.

The two people who had been waiting to receive the reward for their meritorious service arrived before the fifth watch and before dawn, when Mo Qianjun and Ling Henian arrived.

Seeing the sudden arrival of the elite from the Holy Mountain Headquarters and the unkind expressions of the two heavyweights, the protagonist and the knight finally vaguely realized that the situation might not be what they imagined.

"Where are the two wanted criminals? Where did they escape?" Mo Qianjun got straight to the point and directly asked about Li Xingkong's whereabouts.

"W-what wanted criminal?" The bishop was confused. The only wanted criminals who appeared recently were Li Xingkong. Weren't they sent to the Supreme City yesterday?

"Fuck you!" Mo Qianjun shouted angrily. The situation was basically clear. People passed by your jurisdiction without you knowing it. You really don't know what to say, but this is not the time to investigate for negligence. "Everyone Listen to the order and conduct a comprehensive search with this as the center, and don’t let go of even the slightest trace!”

The Knights of the Church acted quickly, including the city's local church members, who were all cautious and treading on thin ice.

Mo Qianjun ignored the two losers, and Ling Henian just snorted coldly. The bishop and the knight suddenly felt that the whole sky had collapsed, and finally realized that they were going to be unlucky this time.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, an ordinary village in the mountains.

Since the incident at Factory 12 seven days ago, Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue have been running all the way. They never expected that the situation would develop like this. There was not much dry food and daily necessities prepared in the storage ring. Now they are all It's all gone, but the long journey to the end of the world has just begun.

It was only three hours since Mo Xianwu returned to the Holy Mountain Church, and the church might not have time to react much. Li Xingkong decided to complete the purchase of food, water and daily necessities at once before the other party arranged everything, so he passed by this place. When we were in a small village, we took Luo Yingxue to the village morning market.

Pieces of snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, flying like goose feathers, and then fell all over the earth.

The more people there are in a place, the more you can feel the warmth floating in the ice and snow. The morning market in the mountain village is not very prosperous, but it has a warm atmosphere that stubbornly resists the deserted world.

Everyone's greetings to each other, even a simple wave, a greeting in the eyes, are all strange colors in the white world, so people's hearts are not just pale.

Since parting with Mo Xianwu, sadness has always filled Luo Yingxue's watery eyes. Such deep pain, even though it was during the defensive battle of Xingxue City a few months ago, carrying the Galaxy Guard in flesh and blood at the center of the formation, All far inferior.

Li Xingkong sighed silently, knowing clearly in his heart that at that time, Luo Yingxue had 200,000 lives standing behind her in Xingxue City. Everyone's prayers and beliefs supported her to protect her until the end. However, at this moment when they have become the public enemy of the mainland, what they have to face after betraying their relatives and leaving their relatives is real loneliness.

"Yingxue, let's go back to Xingxue City." Perhaps only Xingxue City can make Luo Yingxue feel a little warm. Even though he has to take a lot of risks in the process of returning to the city, Li Xingkong can't bear to watch. She continued to grieve like this, "At least I can say goodbye to everyone before leaving the ocean."

"No, we still don't want to go back." Luo Yingxue shook her head gently, her delicate body trembling slightly in the wind and snow, which was heartbreaking to see, "I don't want everyone to see what I look like when I turn into a monster. .”

Li Xingkong couldn't help feeling sad. Perhaps this farewell without having time to say goodbye is the best ending. At least, in people's minds, it is still the glorious image of Xingxue City during the defensive war.

And the days of being on the run will probably last for a long time in the future. The road ahead is filled with wind and snow, and there is no end in sight, just like the snowflakes swaying in the wind, I don’t know where they will eventually land.

The purchasing process was very short. After all, Li Xingkong did not dare to delay for too long and always kept a low profile to avoid attracting attention. Apart from the long-lasting sadness, everything went smoothly until the two of them were about to leave at the entrance of the village when they were disturbed by a sudden and harsh sound.

"Little bastard, this is my territory, get out of here!" An adult beggar kicked away the little beggar who looked only twelve years old in front of him, and then reached out and grabbed a few coins that the little beggar had begged for. The money collected from the land will naturally belong to me!"

"Uncle, please, please leave some for me!" the ragged little beggar begged, while protecting a younger beggar behind him who looked to be only eight or nine years old. "My brother has not eaten all day. Something!"

"Stop!" Luo Yingxue hurriedly stepped forward to help the little beggar up, gently wiped the dust on his face, and then took out some dry food, "Take them all and eat them."

"Where did you come from?" Unexpectedly, there would be someone meddling in other people's business. The adult beggar became angry with shame. However, the next moment he saw Luo Yingxue's peerless face clearly, he drooled all over the floor like Zhukara, "This little lady looks really good. …”

"Get out!" Li Xingkong punched out and knocked the adult beggar away more than ten meters. You didn't need to listen to know what dirty words the beggar was going to say.

"Thank you, sister!" The two little beggars took the dry food, stuffed it into their mouths, and kowtowed in thanks, "Brother and sister are really good people!"

Looking at the two children devouring their food, Luo Yingxue's beautiful face finally revealed a long-lost smile, while Li Xingkong stood quietly aside, hopelessly immersed in happy memories:

Many years ago, when I was twelve years old, I met Luo Yingxue for the first time. On that day, there was heavy snowfall like this. After I was bullied by a big beggar, and when I was hungry and cold, I met her, who was pure and kind and untainted by the dust of the world. , she handed over the hot food with a smile, as if the most beautiful cherry blossoms were blooming in front of her eyes. It was so wonderful that from that moment on, she wished to hold her hand tightly and never separate...

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the small mountain village where Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue once appeared.

The search footprints of the church knights finally spread to the place where Li Xingkong purchased supplies three hours ago. Although no one would expect to find traces of the target in this remote rural area, in order to successfully deliver the goods, he still had to go through the entire village with a wanted warrant.

"Wow, who are you looking for? There is a reward of ten thousand taels of gold?" Countless villagers gathered at the village entrance where the notice was posted, and their voices of surprise came one after another. Everyone had never seen so many treasures in their lives. It seemed like the wind and snow in the sky, It's no longer cold.

"Brother, those two people seem to be the brothers and sisters who give us food?" In the crowded crowd, no one noticed a little beggar. He pointed to the image on the notice and innocently asked the other little beggar. elder brother.

"Wow, a thousand taels of gold. We won't have to worry about it in the next life!" The twelve-year-old beggar carefully identified the image and confirmed that it was the two people he had just seen. Naturally, he was overjoyed. With this huge sum of money, he would be able to use it in the future. Who wants to go hungry and cold here when you can have delicious and spicy food?

"But, my brothers and sisters are all good people, and they gave us something to eat." The eight or nine-year-old beggar blinked, very confused.

"The wanted order was issued by the church. If the church says they are fugitives, it will not be wrong!"

Originally going to report the benefactor, the little beggar felt somewhat guilty, but since the so-called benefactor was a fugitive who committed a heinous crime, it was a different matter. Especially when he was hungry and cold, he went to collect the reward for the sake of his own life and that of his brother.

"How can bad people be so easy for you to spot? Maybe they give us food during the day and turn into monsters to eat us at night!"

"Oh." The younger beggar nodded, choosing to believe in his brother and the church.

In this way, Li Xingkong and Luo Yingxue leaked the whereabouts of their escape without knowing it, just because of their momentary kindness.

The two little beggars who went to expose them did not expect that they should have received the reward, but the church knight who got the news kicked him to the ground just like the big beggar did to him. In his panic, he even lost the remaining money. food.

After all, children's thinking is too simple. Since people already know the information they want to know, why not go and get the credit yourself? Even if there is really a million taels of gold, it will not be cheap for two little beggars in ragged clothes.

The ungrateful people did not realize those unreasonable wishes after all. Perhaps this is the cycle of cause and effect. However, the little beggar who lost the food was found starved to death in a dark corner the next day. Such a profound truth, they can never No chance to realize...
