Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Chapter 55: Deus Ex

Chapter 55: Deus Ex

The man saw that the smiling cat was attacking suddenly, but he didn't panic. He yelled "Come!" and raised his sword to fight.

The scimitar in Master Cat's hand was as long as an ordinary saber, but the big sword was as tall as a person.There is a saying that "one inch is long and one inch is strong". In this horse battle with cold weapons, weapons have a great influence on the outcome.

The man swung his big sword and slashed at Smiley Cat, but Master Cat's knife was too short to reach him.

Haiwen stared at this scene in horror - the knight's sword was big and long, and the blade was as sharp as it could be used to shave.If this sword was cut on a person, even a knight in heavy armor would not be able to hold it back, not to mention that the smiling cat was only wearing leather armor. If it was really hit by this sword, its body might be split in two.The mercenaries flaunted their power and screamed strangely.

In an instant, the long sword slashed on Master Mao's face, Haiwen looked at the trajectory of the sword and thought: It's broken, he can't dodge it!

It was at this moment that the smiling cat's body suddenly shrank.I saw that his head was abruptly shrunk halfway into the neck cavity, and he looked like a mollusk, which was extremely weird; he was already short, and now he couldn't see anyone.So the big sword slashed across Master Cat's scalp.Everyone outside exclaimed.Then, the smiling ranger bowed his waist and stretched out his claws like a cat, with a howl in his throat, he slashed at the Cyclops with a knife.

He was riding on a horse, so the blade pierced in with the force of the horse's charge. The knife cut into the one-eyed man's right rib and cut out from the back.In an instant, blood gushed out, and the man screamed and fell off the horse.

At this time, the robbers were yelling and all came up to kill, and the smiling cat shouted: "My lord, get on my horse!" After saying that, his head stuck out from his neck.Haiwen suddenly remembered the unique skill of "bone shrinking skill", but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes, and it wasn't where Master Cat learned it.

Then the smiling cat got off the horse, snatched the two-handed sword from the corpse, and then climbed onto the one-eyed dragon's horse.The smiling cat pulled the rein and shouted: "Come on me if you want revenge!" Then he swung the big sword.

Haiwen was about to get on his horse at this time, when he saw a wretched-looking mercenary walking towards him with a knife in his hand.He didn't have time to get on the horse, so he had to back away.At this time, he felt a chill behind his back, and when he turned around suddenly, he saw a mercenary with a big nose slashing at him with a knife. Haiwen rolled on the ground in embarrassment, and then shouted: "Help!" Seeing two flying knives flying towards him, one was stuck in the wretched mercenary's chest, and the other was nailed to the forehead of the big nose.The two fell down in response, and then the smiling cat shouted loudly: "Get on the horse and follow me!"

However, the horse was already startled, and was about to kick when it stretched out its legs. The kick just hit the next mercenary, and there was a bang, and the man fell down screaming; Holding the reins, he yelled at the horse: "Be honest!" After he finished speaking, he forcibly mounted the horse, and then pinched the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out with a neigh.At this moment, Smiley Cat swung his huge sword on his horse and rushed to kill. The big sword was originally a weapon for horse warfare.In an instant, a bloody path was killed.

The smiling cat opened the way ahead, and the two rode their horses and galloped over the fallen tree.Behind the horse's buttocks were shouts of killing, and a group of people were chasing after them.However, once the horses started to run, the people couldn't catch up. After running for a while, they threw off the pursuers and ran all the way through the bushes and down the gravel road beside the stream. They galloped for about ten miles. The horse couldn't help slowing down the distance.Haiwen looked back and saw that the pursuers had already been left behind, so he felt a little relieved.

At this moment, the two of them came to the front of a long and narrow valley. Haiwen frowned and said, "I think the terrain of this valley is dangerous. We should take a detour."

The smiling cat pondered for a while, and said: "If you want to take a detour, you have to take the gravel mountain road. You can't ride a horse there, and you will fall if you are not careful-what if the enemy catches up again? It means we won't be able to get back to Mustang Town before dark, and we may have to spend the night outside. My lord, the night is full of dreams, I think it's better to go to the valley. If anyone gets in the way, I'll kill him."

"Ok."

So the two walked into the valley.Some parts of this valley are very narrow, and it is a bit crowded for two people to ride side by side, and some places can be called a line of sky, requiring two people to pass one by one.Black and thick old vines grew on the rock walls on both sides, and there were spider webs on them. Many butterflies and other insects died on them. spider.

The further you go in the valley, the darker the light inside, and the damper and colder the air.There are often valley winds whizzing by, and it is now winter, and the "swish" wind is like a sharp knife piercing into the bones of people, making the body cold and the heart even colder.

Haiwen thought to himself: We have walked this road before, didn't we find it so scary?Is it really a psychological effect?

After they walked through a few corners, the atmosphere became a little better. Occasionally, a beam of sunlight would shine on it. Most of the places where the sunlight was located were lush green grass or two or three small flowers.The cold wind is mixed with the refreshing fragrance of the land, which can ease people's nervous mood a little.The smiling cat said, "We're almost out of the canyon, my lord. When we get home, we have to investigate today's incident."

"Yes." Hai Wen replied, "Someone bought my life, this matter can't just end like this..."

When he said this, he suddenly saw a person standing in front of him.

The man was standing under a sunny field, stepping on wild flowers with a pair of spiked riding boots, and crushed the flowers to the ground.His dark back is in stark contrast to the bright sunlight, like a drop of ink on a beautiful scroll.

"Woo-!" The two pulled the reins and stopped on the spot.At this time, the person in front turned around and said, "Spike, you are safe." The voice of that person startled Haiwen, the voice was deep and hoarse, as if it had been processed by a computer, and it seemed to be some kind of The roar of the beast.Not only was he frightened, but the two groups of horses also screamed in fright, standing up on their front legs.Haiwen couldn't sit still, and fell off the horse directly; while the smiling cat turned over and got off the horse.Then the two horses turned around and galloped as if they had seen a tiger. They crowded in front of a "line of sky" and neighed loudly.In the end, a large piece of bloody skin was scraped off by the stone wall, and he ran over.It disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Haiwen couldn't help swallowing.These two horses were never so scared when they killed people before, why are they so frightened when they see this guy now?

At this time, he saw that the smile on Smiley Cat's face froze, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Goofy! Are you still alive?"

Chapter 56: Cats and Dogs

Chapter 56: Cats and Dogs

The guy let out a hoarse dry laugh, and said, "The fat cat is still alive, how can the vicious dog die? If you want to die, you have to die behind you, don't you think so?"

"I shouldn't have been merciful in the first place!" The smiling cat pulled out the knife with a "chuckle" and glared at the man like a tiger.

It seems that the smiling ranger and this person are old acquaintances.Haiwen looked at the man in black in front of him.The guy is tall and big, estimated to be about 1.8 meters; under the hood, he has black hair and a crew cut, capable and neat; under the cloak, there is a strong dress, his trousers are tucked inside the pin-buttoned riding boots, and the cuffs are tucked into rivet leather gloves There is a long sword pinned to his waist, as well as seven or eight murder weapons such as daggers and short swords. Maybe there are more hidden weapons hidden on his body. hiding somewhere.

The man walked forward with a sneer, step by step; when he walked out of the sun, his face was immediately shrouded in darkness.Hai Wen felt that in the pitch blackness, there was a pair of sharp small eyes looking at him. It felt as if someone had scratched his face with the tip of a needle, making every inch of his face tense.

The man and the smiling cat said: "Spike, I was thinking that only I would be a dog to others, but I didn't expect you to be a dog's leg too. How much does he pay you? Can he buy your 'Smiling Ranger'?" loyalty?"

The smiling cat said with a cold face: "This lord is virtuous and talented, he can take my heart and liver away without spending a penny; and the master of your dog, even if he gave me a castle, he is not worthy of me looking at him once."

That "dog" stopped talking, and just pulled out his weapon in silence. This man's weapon was a one-handed sword with a cold light. Hearing the voiceless sound of the sword rubbing against the scabbard, he knew it was a good weapon. .At this moment, the smiling cat also pulled out the knife, his face was tense, as if he was facing a big enemy; although Haiwen was afraid, he also drew his weapon.At this time, the smiling cat said: "My lord, please don't meddle, I can't explain to everyone if I hurt you." The man on the other side also said: "That's right, just watch from behind, if you make trouble, I will kill you first !"

Now that they said so, Hai Wen didn't have to make fun of himself.What's more, he also knew that with his two actions, going up would only add to the chaos.

The smiling face cat and the vicious dog didn't start fighting immediately. Mr. Cat bowed his waist, his center of gravity sank, and the muscles all over his body tensed up. Haiwen had seen him fight many times before, but he had never seen him in such a posture; But the man on the opposite side leaned his body, holding the edge of the sword, and took a fencing posture.

When Haiwen saw this, he couldn't help but took two steps back, and he leaned against the rock wall before he knew it.

Those two people didn't speak, they just stared at each other. At this moment, Haiwen felt that the air around him was condensed, and the wind in the valley became very abrupt, and he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat vaguely.

Life and death are just a moment, but the tranquility before the war is particularly tormenting.Haiwen clenched his fists, and found that his palms were already full of sweat, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

At this moment, a small stone rolled down from above the valley.Perhaps some beast passed by and kicked it down.The stone was impartial, and it landed between the two of them with a clear "thump".

This sound is like the first thunder before the rain, followed by lightning and thunder, and a violent storm.

The man in black strikes first.He took a big step forward with his right foot, and suddenly thrust forward the arm holding the sword, and the sword edge bounced out along the arm, like a snake.There was a flash of light in the eyes of the smiling cat, his body sank, and then he took the knife to strike up, and the sword missed.Then the vicious dog rushed forward, stabbing a chain of swords.The swordsmanship of the man in black is quite similar to western fencing, mainly thrusting moves, but the speed of this guy is the scariest one Haiwen has ever seen in his life. People were dizzying, Haiwen's eyes couldn't keep up with his speed, and the sword edge left an afterimage in Haiwen's eyes.

However, Smiley Cat is not just for nothing.

Smiley Cat blocked him a dozen times with a knife, and he swung his two knives into an airtight circle, protecting himself in it. After hitting him a dozen times like this, Smiley Cat suddenly lowered his waist, and his fat body froze. There was a big split across the side, and then a sweeping knife, slashing towards the man's knee.

"Spike!" The man in black roared angrily, thrust his sword into the ground to stop Master Cat's knife, and when the swords collided, there was a clear "ping"; He was so shocked that he flew out of his hand and stuck it on the rock wall several meters high.Haiwen couldn't help applauding loudly from behind.

The vicious dog let out a low growl, grinning grinningly and drew out the dagger at his waist.The dagger shone coldly and was exceptionally sharp. He pushed forward and stabbed at the smiling cat; Master Cat rolled on the ground and retreated three times in a row. The guy chased after him and stepped forward again stabbed up.So Master Cat received three moves from him on the ground, two of which were blocked by him with a knife, but the last sword stabbed Smiley Cat's arm.Then Master Cat yelled, raised his kick and kicked the dog in the stomach, kicking him away.

In this way, the two distanced themselves again, and the first round was a lose-lose situation. Although the smiling cat was stabbed in his right hand, he could continue to fight if he held a knife in both hands; while the black dog lost his main weapon. And got kicked hard.

The two looked at each other, roared, and started the second round of fighting.This time, Hai Wen had a premonition that the winner would be decided.Because both of them were injured, they became ruthless and no longer held back.The smiling cat held a knife in both hands, and attacked fiercely with the advantage of a weapon, while the guy switched to using a two-handed short sword, parried a few moves in embarrassment, and then retreated again and again.The smiling cat laughed and said, "Only these two things?"

The vicious dog let out a roar, and flew out the dagger.

However, Master Cat is also an expert at flying knives. Seeing his fat body twisted, he flicked to the left and tilted to the right, thus dodging two flying swords; after the third flying sword came, Master Cat Picking up the sword, the flying sword hovered in the air. He grabbed the hilt and shouted: "Give it back to you!" He said and threw it back.

The vicious dog also wanted to catch it with a knife, but this time it missed the point, and the leather glove was cut a big hole.The smiling cat laughed again and said, "Shall I teach you how to play this throwing knife?"

The vicious dog was so anxious that it roared: "You forced me!" Then he took out two knives and killed the smiling cat.Now that Master Cat's morale has the upper hand, he doesn't panic and raises his sword to fight.

The moment the two collided, the smiling cat raised a knife from the bottom up, and the dog couldn't dodge it in time, and his arm was severed by the knife.Haiwen was about to applaud, but he felt an inexplicable strangeness. He suddenly found that there was not a drop of red on the incision of the broken arm of the vicious dog, but black pulp overflowed.

The next moment he heard the smiling cat shout: "You!"

Before he could say that, the guy laughed and stabbed the short knife in his left hand into the belly of the smiling cat.Then he saw his wrist twist and pull, and he yelled, "Fall!"

So the smiling ranger fell down.

Chapter 57: Cloud Piercing Arrow ([-]rd watch)

Chapter 57: Cloud Piercing Arrow

A stab, a twist, a pull, what a familiar action.

Haiwen killed a person with these three hits not long ago.

So when he saw those three strokes, his eyes were red.He no longer cared about the bullshit of "putting the overall situation first" and "keeping one's life safe", just picked up the knife and killed him.

"I-fuck-your mother!" he yelled in Chinese.

Seeing him rushing up, Gouzi smiled calmly and said, "Okay, are you here to die too?"

Haiwen rushed to his side and slashed at him.

That guy let out a dissolute laugh, grabbed Haiwen's wrist with one hand, squeezed it hard, and Haiwen let go of the knife in pain.Then the man put his foot on Haiwen's chest and kicked him to the ground.

"Get up and continue." He kicked Haven's knife over with his foot, "Come and chop me!"

So Hai Wen picked up the knife, got up and cut him.

Haiwen knew that he couldn't beat this guy—the famous smiling ranger was defeated, what could he do with a bald head who was struggling to do push-ups?

But if you can't beat it, it doesn't mean you can't beat it.

Even if you know you will lose, you have to show your sword. The body can be destroyed, but the spirit will never yield.If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have died tragically under the truck in the first place.

Then he was kicked away a second time.This time it kicked him in the face. The man's strength was so great that Haiwen felt a sharp pain, his consciousness was blurred, and he almost passed out; moreover, he lost two teeth, the corner of his mouth was cracked, and his mouth was full of bloody smell.

"Come again, let's see how many times you can get up." He kicked the knife over.

Hai Wen was about to come again, he picked up the knife and stood up with force.But when he just got up, he felt dizzy for a while and fell down again.The dog laughed "quack", the voice sounded to Haiwen as if it came from a far away place, distorted and weird.Then the knives in his hand changed from one to three, and the people in front of him changed from one to six.He blinked to wake himself up.

Haiwen roared and launched a third charge, and then he fell at the man's feet for the third time, and this time he had no strength to get up again.

"Spike is loyal to you for a reason." The man said in a deep voice, "You are a man, and now I will give you a happy one." He raised his sword as he spoke.

That's when the smiling cat grabbed his ankle.The man was startled at first, and then said, "Can you still move?"

The smiling cat was lying on the ground, blood stained with mud and covering his beard, he said: "You can't kill him!" The smiling cat said, blood foaming from his mouth, "If you want revenge, come at me, but you can't kill him!" he!"

The man asked, "Why can't I kill him?"

"You killed him, and thousands of people are going to starve! Jesse, you know what it's like--we all know it." He crawled this way, and with each step, the ground was full of blood. .

"But I'm not hungry now." Said Gouzi, the Jesse in Smiley Cat's mouth.

The smiling cat coughed twice, unable to speak in pain.

Jesse glanced at Haven, pondered for a while, then smiled, and said, "It's none of my business that the poor are starving? I wish everyone in the world would starve to death. They should have a taste of that!" He said As he spoke, he kicked Smiley Cat's face, and then kicked his wound again.The smiling cat screamed loudly. Haiwen grabbed the dirt with his hands and tried to get up, but before he could stand still, he lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

At this time, the dog said: "You are all saints. You are very good. When you see a person in distress, you will save him. But I am not. When I see a person in distress, I will kill him. If the person is not in trouble, I will kill him too." After all, when I was in trouble, no one came to save me—no one saved me, so why should I save others?"

After saying this, he raised his dagger.

At this moment, Haven heard an extremely small sharp cry, as if something sharp had scratched the floor.The dog obviously heard it too, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.
