Chapter 921: 519 Fast or Slow?

519 Fast or Slow?

I really didn't expect... we could actually come back...

After following Leon, who was covered in blood, through the fog and returning to the world of the living, looking at everything familiar in the world of the living, the three cleaners couldn't help but have tears in their eyes, unable to control their excitement.

But before they could thank Leon, the scorching sun of the world of the living shone on the souls of the three, suddenly igniting large pieces of invisible white smoke, burning the three until they screamed.

"Open your mouth!"

Leon, who was well prepared for this situation, grabbed the souls of the three cleaners, pried open the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's mouth, and stuffed them in all at once.

"?!!!"

"Hold it! But absolutely not allowed to eat!"

After giving the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang a warning, Leon was still not at ease, worried that the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang couldn't resist the temptation of high-quality souls and would secretly taste them. He simply threatened directly:

"Remember! If even a tiny bit of their souls is missing, I will send you to the Oreson Kingdom to accept purification with your whip!"

"..."

Hmph, don't eat then! As if I care!

Faced with the threat of purification, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, which was still eager to move, became completely honest. After rolling its eyes at Leon, it held the souls of the three cleaners and didn't move.

As for the three dead souls that entered the sheep's mouth, relying on the "blessing" provided by the Great Demon, they successfully got rid of the harm from the sun and were able to stay in the world of the living safely for the time being. After Leon finished a series of operations, Alger, who saw what he did, couldn't help but be extremely excited:

"They... they are?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain..."

After peeking at the movement of the Gate of the Dead and finding that no one was chasing, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said concisely:

"After I ate the Guard of Death, I inherited part of its authority and can refuse to let souls enter the Dead World. However, this authority has limitations. I must be near the Gate of the Dead for it to take effect.

So I just went to the Dead World and, before the three seniors entered the door, stopped them outside the Gate of the Dead, which counts as temporarily fishing them back."

"Temporarily means?"

"It means they can't be here all the time."

Leon said helplessly:

"According to the rules of the world of the living, flesh and soul must exist together. Even the descending Holy Spirits and True Gods must first get themselves a body.

But the bodies of the three seniors have been destroyed. Although I can let them not go to the Dead World, I have no way to retain their souls all the time. It will still be a problem after a long time.

So we still have to find a way to leave the Krolok Kingdom, or find a way to contact the General Bureau, otherwise the souls of the three seniors will still be excluded by this world."

The problem is we can't get out now...

After hearing Leon's explanation, the excited expression on Alger's face faded slightly, and then he gritted his teeth:

"How about this, you stay in the Krolok Kingdom, take their souls and Princess Feliya and hide, and I will try to see if I can break out!"

"Senior Alger, you'd better not have this thought."

Leon shook his head upon hearing this:

"I don't know if your existence has been exposed, but I took the lead in hijacking Princess Feliya, so the other party must know about my existence. Since I didn't appear at the Gemini Branch, I must still be in the Krolok Kingdom.

And according to common sense, we should be trying to escape now, so the other party's defense must be extremely strict. The probability of you breaking out safely can be said to be infinitely close to zero."

"Then what should we do? Continue to wait here?"

"It's not exactly waiting."

After pondering the current situation, Leon said thoughtfully:

"In terms of hard strength alone, Director Edward's side has one Zodiac, one elite Level 1, and three senior Level 2s, which definitely can't be considered bad. Listening to Nicole's description, they should have been ambushed and lost because they were in the light and the enemy was in the dark and had insufficient information. The other party didn't show an overwhelming strength advantage.

And now as long as we hide well enough, it's the enemy in the light and us in the dark. We just happen to take this opportunity to supplement the insufficient information. If the other party's strength is not that strong, it's not impossible to wrestle with them... Three seniors."

Speaking of this, Leon turned his head to look at the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang and asked the three cleaners in its mouth:

"What exactly happened at the Gemini Branch? Can you tell me as detailed as possible?"

"To be honest, we are not very clear either..."

Hearing Leon's words, Ruben, whose body had shrunk to the size of a doll, said hesitantly:

"Actually, it seems there is nothing to tell. It was just a round of high-power artillery fire. Although it was a bit abrupt under the situation of being ambushed, it was just enough to make us rush, and it should be fine to deal with it.

But I don't know why, the other party's artillery fire seemed to be particularly fast. We couldn't react at all, and didn't even have time to activate the anomalous objects. We only had time to see the wall explode, and then we were directly hit and killed."

Particularly fast?

Leon raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and remembered the words of the female reporter relayed by 【Secret Tail】.

The female reporter didn't seem to mention that the artillery fire was particularly fast. In her version, it was that she didn't know what was going on, but except for her, no one else reacted, so they were directly hit by heavy firepower.

So... is the artillery fire fast, or have people become slow? Which side is right?

After pondering slightly, Leon turned his head to look at Alger beside him and asked pointedly:

"Senior Alger, can you react to thermal weapons fired at close range?"

"This is no problem."

Alger thought for a while and answered:

"With my reaction speed, if the trigger is pulled in front of me, I only need to dodge the direction of the muzzle. I can see it with my eyes and I can dodge it, even if it's close to my face.

If it's a sneak attack, it might be hard to say within two or three meters, but if it's further away, I can definitely dodge it. Even if the speed of artillery ammunition is much faster than small-caliber firearms, it's no problem to activate the anomalous object to save my life if I think about it."

"Then do you mind if I try?"

Leon said, taking out a small-caliber nail gun, flicking open the safety with his thumb, aiming at the ground in front of Alger, and reminding calmly:

"I might shoot at the ground at any time. When the time comes, Senior, you activate the anomalous object and stop the nail..."

Before he finished speaking, Leon's finger suddenly hooked, and he slammed the nail out. Alger's eyes froze, and his right foot in black leather shoes suddenly scattered, turning into a cluster of pitch-black silk threads, and then...

Perfectly let the nail pass through.

"This..."

Looking at the 【Skin Thread】 that rushed over only after the nail was embedded in the ground, Alger was stunned. Leon sighed and gave his judgment.

"A few seniors, it seems that it's not that the Krolok Kingdom's artillery fire is too fast, but that your reaction has become slow." ===== CHAPTER 922 =====
