On the second floor of the Hunter Guild, inside the president's office, which is guarded by four armed personnel.
After the explosion from North Street, Xu Liyan picked up the black phone with the jingle ringing and listened to his subordinates report to him the situation monitored by the drone.
Before he could give the order, a fierce gunshot erupted at the gate of South Street.
This made him instinctively frown and have a bad premonition.
Xu Liyan waited patiently for a while, and finally changed a person on the other end of the phone and reported the emergency incident of the wilderness wanderers causing a riot and rushing into the city.
"This is the situation the 'priest' wants?" Xu Liyan said to himself, hung up the phone, dialed again, and connected to the top commander of the City Defense Army.
He ordered with a cold expression:
"Immediately gather the main force and push out all the wilderness wanderers who rushed in, don't care how many people will die."
After giving this order, he called his confidant who was in charge of the city's main guard:
"Divide the manpower into two parts, one part will go to the First Hospital with heavy weapons to help Odick deal with the 'priest', and the other will assemble downstairs to escort me back to the city lord's mansion."
The city lord's mansion has permanent fortifications and underground bunkers, which is many times safer than the old building of the Hunter Guild.
Moreover, if the riot becomes more serious and the "priest" escapes from the encirclement and the situation cannot be controlled in a short time, then he can still leave the relatively safe and closer north gate under the protection of the city lord's guard, return to his manor, or go directly to another city.
After arranging these things in an orderly manner, Xu Liyan stood up and walked to the door with the entourage who was covered by burqas and hoods.
The four armed men outside immediately dispersed, each in their own place, guarding against possible attacks from different directions.
At this moment, Xu Liyan suddenly felt an itch on the back of his left hand.
He subconsciously stretched out his right palm and scratched the back of his left hand a few times.
The itching not only did not go away, but became more serious.
Xu Liyan felt anxious and worked harder.
Red scratches suddenly appeared on the back of his hand.
Almost at the same time, unbearable itching appeared on his back, on his chest, on his thighs, on his face, in all his places hidden or uncovered by his clothes.
In just a few seconds, he felt like ten thousand ants were crawling over his body, and he wanted to take off all his clothes and scratch them happily for a while.
Not only him, but also the four armed men had similar reactions, and it had reached the point where they couldn't hold their guns and just wanted to tickle.
Dang, dang, the metal firearms fell to the ground and flicked a few times.
The only one who didn't move was the mysterious man who was completely shrouded in a hooded burqa.
"Hey......" a slightly surprised voice sounded from a room at the other end of the corridor.
Then, a person came out.
This is a woman with long blonde hair and light blue eyes, rough skin, slightly larger pores on her face, and a very tasteful appearance.
She is the vice president of the local hunter guild, Christina!
"You don't feel itchy?" She looked at Xu Liyan's extremely mysterious entourage and asked curiously.
As she spoke, three people came down from the top of the staircase near the president's office.
Some of them were holding pistols, and some were holding "short-necked" submachine guns, and their eyes were locked on Xu Liyan, who was tickling frantically at the same time.
Among these three, one is a woman, 1.65 meters tall and has a baby face, and two are men, one is masculine and heroic, and the other is weathered.
They are the remaining three members of the "old tune team" that disappeared before:
Wei Yu, Lu Jiqi, Yun He!
At this moment, the mysterious man wearing a hooded robe took a step diagonally and stood between Xu Liyan and the three attackers behind.
In the loud sound, the mysterious man's body was hit by a large number of bullets, causing sparks to splatter, but only his clothes were damaged, leaving no blood left.
With a brush on the ground, the mysterious man tore off his robe, revealing a tall body made of a pure black metal skeleton and various mechanical components that looked intimidating.
He raised one hand and proclaimed the Buddha's name unhurriedly:
"Namo Arudara, the poor monk no longer has this feeling.
"Although I still feel itchy, I can endure it completely, as if I am facing an illusion."
This answered Christina's question just now.
He is indeed a mechanical monk, a mechanical monk who lives in this wasteland.
Christina raised her eyebrows:
"What about another one?
"May your desires be satisfied."
In the next second, Xu Liyan and his five bodyguards found that the itching on the surface of the body was gradually weakening, and the mechanical monk's red eyes suddenly lit up, close to blood.
"Eros explodes? You are indeed an awakened person, an awakened person who believes in the mandala of the year." The mechanical monk muttered to himself, then folded his hands together and said calmly, "Female benefactor, the poor monk is not the pure Dharma brother and the others, and he can barely control himself."
When he spoke, Xu Liyan and the five bodyguards had already found a place to hide, and started a gunfight with Wei Yu, Lu Jiqi, and Yun He.
This mechanical monk was in the heart of the gunfight, hit by stray bullets, but stood firm, as if he had just encountered a heavy rainstorm.
Christina held her crotch and bowed slightly:
"But I can see that you are also affected."
A smile appeared on her face, but it looked quite sacred:
"Mandala is in your heart and me."
"Benefactor, everything in the world is illusory, and so are desires. You will be bound by the pleasure brought by the flesh and become a mother beast in the earthly world." The mechanical monk's electronic synthesis actually brought out a bit of compassion.
He folded his hands again and said solemnly:
"Six reincarnations, the path of beasts."
As soon as the mechanical monk finished speaking, Christina saw countless phantoms of beasts.
There were wolves, tigers, hyenas, and wild boars, all looking at her with green eyes.
Under such a gaze, Christina's self-perception suddenly changed.
She found herself turning into a wolf at some point, covered in gray-black coarse fur and drooping a tail embellished with dry grass.
She was a little panicked, a little dazed, and wanted to say something, but only made a beast sound:
"Woo......
In Xu Liyan's opinion, Christina and the other three attackers suddenly and strangely fell to the ground, propping themselves on all fours and making a "whoosh" cry.
Their eyes seemed to have lost the light of wisdom.
"Haha......" Xu Liyan couldn't help but laugh, walked out of the hiding place, and said a little frightened and a little excited, "You don't think that I only have some ordinary bodyguards, relying purely on the help of 'senior hunters' invited from the guild, right? If it weren't for Master Jingnian, how could I have known in advance that someone was going to assassinate me?"
Xu Liyan's five bodyguards instinctively looked sideways and looked at the mechanical monk.
Although Jing Nian was not wearing a monk's robe, wearing a cassock robe, exposing his body composed of a metal skeleton and heavy firepower, he still maintained the style of a high monk and said peacefully:
"The most important supernatural power obtained by the poor monk who sees himself is:
"Foreknowledge."
As soon as he finished speaking, the gunfire on South Street suddenly became blurred, and the entire building shook, instantly shattered, like a dream.
Xu Liyan shuddered suddenly, and found that he was still in the president's office and had just put down the phone.
"Zen Master, ...... just now" Xu Liyan hurriedly turned his head and looked at the mechanical monk Jingnian wearing a hooded robe.
Before he could finish speaking, Jingnian nodded:
"The poor monk was also dragged into a fantasy and competed with Christina's benefactor.
"It's a lot like a certain ability in the field of the person at the end of the year."
"The last man...... Isn't this the practice of the 'anti-intellectual' belief? "Father"? Shouldn't he be in the first hospital? They have other awakened people?" Xu Liyan was shocked and angry, and stood up, "I can't be sure if there is anything wrong with Christina at the moment, in the illusion, her behavior is like that of the 'Desire to the Most Holy' Church, if she does participate, it means that someone over there in the 'First City' wants me to die!"
Jingnian whispered the Buddha's name:
"Master Xu, it's better to get out of here as soon as possible and return to the house."
Such a common illusion just now completely exposed his identity, and his abilities also showed two.
This allowed him to "foresee" a strong crisis.
"Okay!" Xu Liyan pulled out his pistol and walked to the door.
The five bodyguards outside immediately gathered around, like human shields.
They were all ready to use their bodies to block bullets.
As long as the city lord does not die, their family members will definitely receive the best care.
"Next, the highest alert state." Xu Liyan ordered.
"Yes, city lord!" One of the bodyguards replied.
He immediately added:
"We were also dragged into that illusion just now and know what happened."
Xu Liyan looked at the bodyguard and found that he looked tired, with quite heavy dark circles under his eyes, but his eyes were quite deep.
"Hmm." Xu Liyan nodded, "When this matter is completely over, I will not skimp on rewards!"
At this time, the red light in Jing Nian's eyes suddenly became rich.
His auxiliary chip told him:
There were only four bodyguards outside before.
His consciousness believed:
The total number of bodyguards is five, and there is no problem now!
"It's not good......" As soon as the pure thought emotions sink, they immediately had to use the "Beast Dao" with the largest range of influence indiscriminately.
At this moment, the five bodyguards raised their guns at the same time and aimed at Xu Liyan.
Four of them looked slightly dull and dull in their eyes, as if they were not facing the city lord, but an enemy with a life-and-death feud.
Without the slightest delay or hesitation, they pulled the trigger one after another.
Bang bang bang!
Sparks spewed out from the muzzles of the five guns, and multiple bullets poured down on Xu Liyan.
