496 Stealing Men Is a Traditional Skill of Villains
On the stage, when the singing ended, Shana felt that her palms were full of sweat.
When she sang before, all her attention was focused on the vague feeling. In order to feel the resonance she got at that moment, and to find her true self in that resonance, she did not look at the live stage. and the audience, but looking at the crimson sky in her fantasy land, she let herself go too much.
Now that the song was over, she didn't know how well she sang. Facing the huge audience, her mood couldn't help but return to the timid state she had before taking the stage, for fear of screwing up the stage for herself.
until--
Bang bang bang!
Loud applause came from the bottom of the stage, and Shana's hanging heart finally fell. She turned back and looked at Mikoto, smiled knowingly, and then bowed towards the bottom of the stage: "Thank you everyone!"
There was a lively noise in her ears, and Shana could clearly hear that it was the audience's praise for her. This feeling made her very strange, because she had been alone all this time. In the battle, no matter whether you are strong or weak, No enemy will praise you, only blood and fire, victory and defeat.
In that kind of world, my nerves are always tight. Except for the occasional rest, I will never relax for a moment. I used to think that this was not a problem, because I was just a fire mist, and the fire mist was like that. Survived, but...
Shana couldn't help but raise her head and look at the vast sky.
This sky is boundless, just like the crimson sky that I imagined in my heart when I sang that song, but had I ever noticed it before?
The mission of the Fire Mist Warrior is to maintain the balance between the real world and the red world, prevent the order from collapsing, and prevent disasters from befalling the two worlds. However, she only focused on being a Fire Mist, but she had never experienced this world properly.
Is this vision too narrow?
A narrow vision will make the heart become small. The small heart cannot feel the vastness of the sky, just like the raised poultry. At any time, they can only look at the ground and pay attention to the small amount of soil. I never know that the eagles in the sky are flapping their wings and flying high. Obviously... they also have wings.
If I could fly to that crimson sky, maybe...
"The look over there... seems a little strange?"
Shana was thinking unconsciously, and suddenly, Mikoto's voice sounded in her ears.
After coming back to her senses, Shana followed Mikoto's gaze. In her sight, Tang Hao and Yuji were standing on the edge of the square, but their eyes were not looking here, but looking at another person... etc! Who is that person?
Suddenly, Shana's eyes widened.
Although he has the appearance of a human being, he has a unique aura...
Buzz!
At this moment, rune-like words flashed by the side of the stage, and the entire sky instantly darkened and became silent.
Seal!
"Walk!"
Shana immediately greeted and jumped forward.
It's not that far away, it's there in an instant.
"Oh, here we come. Being in such close contact with a popular idol really flatters me, a middle-aged uncle." Qianbian said with a smile as he looked at Shana and Mikoto falling from the sky.
"Xia Na!" At the same time, Tang Hao threw the pendant back to her.
Xia Na quickly caught it and put it on her neck. As the pendant swayed, her long black hair was instantly dyed fiery red, and the sword came out of her sleeves.
"Be careful, he is Qian Chang Xiu Denan, he is different from ordinary Red World disciples." Alastor reminded.
"Thousand Changes?" Shana's expression suddenly changed. Although she had only become a Fire Mist Warrior for more than two years, her fate with the Masquerade was not shallow at all. In fact, even the opportunity for her to become a Fire Mist Warrior was at the Masquerade. , and in the following two years of adventure, we dealt with each other several times.
Of course, the opponents at that time were basically the middle and low-level forces in the masquerade, but Qianbian Xiudenan was the mainstay of the masquerade, even though this was her first head-on encounter.
On the other side, Mikoto was already standing next to Tang Hao and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Tang Hao waved his hand, still staring at Qianbian, and said, "I'm more curious, what mission did Hecate give you, the crusader with flaming hair and scorching eyes?"
"It seems that you know quite a lot." Qian Bian smiled, then turned to look at Xia Na, "In the past two years, many cadres of the masquerade have been poisoned by Yanfa and Shaoyan, but they have formed a lasting friendship. Little Liangzi."
"Hmph." Shana snorted coldly. Although Qianbian Xiudenan was famous, it didn't scare her. Even if he couldn't beat him, there was no reason for stage fright.
"But my mission this time has nothing to do with the flame-haired and shaki-eyed crusader, but... for him." Qian Bian pointed out his hand, and everyone looked at it, and all their eyes fell on Sakai Yuuji.
"Me?" Sakai Yuji was startled and instinctively took a few steps back.
"Mistis, do you know what the Noble Phantasm in your body is?"
"I..." Sakai Yuji didn't know yet.
"Zero hour fan."
"Zero hour fan?"
"Yeah." Shana nodded, "Actually, I could have guessed it after I used your power of existence to repair the school that day. Logically speaking, as a torch, after consuming so much power of existence, you can only survive a few... The sky should have disappeared, but on the next day, your power of existence returned to the state before it was consumed... The only Noble Phantasm with this ability is the Zero Hour Mystery, which allows the holder to recover at Zero Hour All the power of existence.”
"So... that's it." Sakai Yuji suddenly realized, and then he understood why he hadn't disappeared for so long.
So, the middle-aged uncle in front of him wants his Noble Phantasm, which means——
"What do you want to do with your masquerade and conspiracy to conspire against Qian Bian?" Shana held a sword in hand and faced Qian Bian, and sneered, "You are not going to collect it like Faliagni."
"I don't know about that." Qianbian spread his hands and said with a smile, "After all, my mouth is not very reliable and it is easy to leak information to my opponents, so the higher-ups didn't tell me. If you want to know, you can go to Xingli Hall and ask. Hecate.”
"Do you think I will believe your lies?" Shana sneered again, with some contempt.
After the Ritual Snake was imprisoned in the world, the highest level of the masquerade was the Three Pillars. Although among them, the top seat Heikati has the greatest and most important power, but the other two are not her either. All of his subordinates are at the same level. What other high-level secrets are unknown to Qianbian?
This is obviously nonsense!
Qian Bian did not explain, and continued: "Of course, Zero Hour Fans is just one of them. In addition, did you mention Faliagni just now? He also had some trouble with our masquerade. He used to take advantage of us when we weren't paying attention. , stole our leader’s Noble Phantasm Glass Altar. For some reasons at that time, we did not take it back. Now that he has been eliminated, then this Noble Phantasm should be in your hands, right? If possible, I hope you will Can you give it back to me.”
Glass altar?
Shana was stunned at first, but then quickly remembered that the hunter Faliagni's plan to devour the city relied on the glass altar to observe and control the torches in Misaki City, but that night they During the crusade, the Noble Phantasm was not seen, which meant that it was in the hands of the hunter.
Then, the hunter was defeated and was blown to pieces by Mikoto with thunder, leaving no loot behind...
Thinking of this, Shana subconsciously looked towards Mikoto.
"Ahem!" Tang Hao coughed twice quickly and said seriously, "Yes, the glass altar is indeed in our hands, but it is our trophy. You were in a masquerade party, but you didn't take good care of it at the time, and it was stolen by a hunter. , you should blame your own lack of strength, if you want to ask for it back, go to him instead of asking for it from us."
"But haven't the hunters been eliminated by you?"
"These are two different things." Tang Hao reasoned seriously, "As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and whoever steals your things should go find the thief. As partners of justice, we defeated that thief. Thief, even if his precious phantoms are stolen goods, they were all obtained in exchange for our lives, and they have nothing to do with your masquerade, right?"
Qianbian was probably a little confused after being surrounded by Tang Hao like this. He couldn't help but asked strangely, "Although what you said seems to make sense, how do you want me to find the hunter and get the glass jar back when he has disappeared?" ?”
Tang Hao shrugged, "This is your business. Do you still need our help for such a big masquerade party?"
"But the glass altar is in your hands now, how about I just come to you directly?"
"So..." Tang Hao glared and accused angrily, "Are you planning to rob the masquerade party?"
"Uh..." Qianbian was startled. Faced with Tang Hao's accusation, he was suddenly speechless. He obviously just wanted to get back what belonged to them, but why was he described like a robber? And it sounds very reasonable.
Next to her, Shana also rolled her eyes.
This was the first time she had seen Tang Hao's magical logic.
Of course, she could probably guess why Tang Hao said that. After all, the glass jar had been destroyed.
Since the glass altar is the treasure of the Serpent of Sacrifice, its importance is self-evident, and not only the apostles, but also the Fire Mist Warrior will be of great use if they get it, so after being stolen by the hunter, the Masquerade was not in a hurry, because No one would be willing to destroy such a precious treasure. No matter whose hands it falls into, as long as the masquerade can spare the time, it will be a matter of minutes to get it back.
However, being stolen and being destroyed are completely different in nature.
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't plan to hand over the glass altar..." Qian Bian suddenly changed his mind and said with a smile, "Actually, when I come to Misaki City this time, Zero Hour Mystery and the glass altar are of secondary importance and will be left to your safekeeping for the time being. That’s fine, but there’s something that Hecate told me to bring back.”
"What?" Tang Hao asked subconsciously. As long as the glass altar is not mentioned, God knows if Qianbian knew that the glass altar was destroyed by them, he would directly launch a divine attack.
Qian Bian did not answer, but looked at Tang Hao with a meaningful smile.
Tang Hao's heart moved, and he couldn't help but point at himself, "The thing you are talking about can't be me, right?"
"Yes, Hecate wants to see you."
Tang Hao suddenly frowned, "Why me?"
Qian Bian said with a sneer: "How can I, an old man like me, guess what a woman is thinking?"
"Oh." Tang Hao nodded, "Then you go back and tell her that I, Tang Ritian, already have a family and will never mess around with women outside. Please forgive me for rejecting her kindness... … If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave first.”
After saying that, Tang Hao actually turned around, as if he was planning to leave.
Qian Bian suddenly felt a little funny. In Tang Hao's eyes, was he just a microphone?
He immediately stretched out his hand, and then...
Uh-huh!
Red flames passed by, and Shana almost cut off Qianbian's hand, and said in a deep voice: "What he said is indeed true. Your masquerade is indeed an act of banditry. Since he has already expressed that he does not want to see you, do you still plan to To rob someone by force?"
"The crusader with flaming hair and burning eyes seems to have become pitiful and sharp-tongued." Qianbian smiled and loosened his wrist bones, "The reason why I say this is just to tell you my purpose. As for whether you agree or not, then It’s two different things. Of course, if you want to start a war here, I don’t care... although I don’t intend to destroy this stage that brings memories to me.”
Thousand Changes had something to say, and Mikoto and Shana looked to the side in unison. If the two sides fought here, few of the concertgoers would survive.
"Change a place." Tang Hao said without looking back.
When Qian Bian went away and returned, Tang Hao knew that this battle was inevitable. Those words and deeds before Qian Bian might be more of a temptation. Although it is indeed a bit early to challenge this level of combat power at this stage, the current Qian Bian is not complete, and with the strength of these few people, they may not have no chance of winning.
After a while, everyone came to an open place. The terrain here was remote and there were almost no people in sight. Even the houses were extremely sparse. The most conspicuous thing was a wide river.
When Tang Hao and the others arrived, there was already a figure standing by the river. She looked like a torch and was motionless, but as the crowd approached, she slowly turned around.
It is Youzhu.
Of course, Youzhu didn't predict events like a god, but Tang Hao sent her a notice in advance, and the chosen battlefield was also the place that was most suitable for Youzhu to perform.
Qianbian glanced at Youzhu, but quickly looked away, as if he didn't take it to heart. Then he stopped, faced Tang Hao face to face, and said with a smile: "Are all your people here?"
"Not yet." Tang Hao shook his head, "If you are willing to wait here for a month, I can call more than ten or twenty of them with just one phone call."
"Okay, let's get started."
Obviously, Qian Bian took this sentence as a joke. As the words fell, his body shook slightly. In an instant, he retreated from his body, revealing a beast-like fighting posture.
