Huaming District, northdefense line.华明区,北方防线。fourthdefense linehere, the professionalformhas lookedto disappearcompletely.
在第四道防线这里,职业者的身影已经完全看不见了。
The soldiersare making the finalreorganization, then preparesto startto advance the defense line.
军人们在做最后的整顿,然后便准备开始推进防线。Carefullylooks, the rear area of thisdefense line, a person's shadowhas startedto appear.
仔细一看,这道防线的后方,道道人影已经开始出现。Thatis the followingdefense lineperson.
那是后面的防线的人。Theyhave advancedhere the defense line, will soon convergewithcombat power of thisdefense line.
他们已经是将防线推进到这里,即将与这道防线的战力汇合了。Therefore, then, thisdefense linewill also prompt forward, with the help of professionals, exterminatesIllusory Demon, whiletidies up the battlefield, with the personconvergence of thirddefense line.
所以,接下来,这道防线也将向前推进,在职业者们的帮助下,一边清剿幻魔,一边收拾战场,和第三道防线的人汇合。„Camphas reorganized, extermination of frontprofessionalsalsoworks well, now the set offwords, before the thirddefense lineconverges, wecanwithprofessionals of frontfirst a convergence.”
“营地已经整顿完毕,前方职业者们的清剿也进行得很顺利,现在出发的话,在与第三道防线汇合前,我们可以与前方的职业者们先一步汇合。”
A military officeris turning towardCommander Duanto conduct the report.
一名军官就在向着段司令进行着报告。„Good.”Commander Duansitsinseeming like the commanderroomsameoffice, towardmilitary officernodded, said: „Such being the case, thatnotifies, after tenminutes, set off.”
“好。”段司令坐在像是司令室一样的办公室里,向着军官点了点头,道:“既然如此,那就通报下去,十分钟后出发。”„Yes.”Military officergood a ritual, drew back.
“是。”军官行了一礼,退了下去。
The finger of Commander Duanknockedknockingon the desktop of desk, does not know that is thinkinganything.段司令的手指在办公桌的桌面上敲了敲,不知道在想着什么。after a while, Commander Duanpicks up the phone, dialed a number.一会以后,段司令拿起电话,拨了一个号码。
The telephonewas put throughquickly.
电话很快就被接通了。„IamGao Xu.”
“我是高旭。”That side of telephone, familiarsoundsound.
电话的那一边,熟悉的声音响了起来。Impressively, is Gao Xu.
赫然,便是高旭。„IsI.”Commander Duanbriefly and to the point said: „Mehas preparedto advance the defense line.”
“是我。”段司令言简意赅的道:“我这边已经准备好推进防线了。”These words, letGao Xusilent for a while.
这句话,让高旭沉默了一阵子。Henaturallyunderstands that what is this.
他自然明白这是什么意思。„Doesn't Xu Qianqianreallyhave a chapter of defense lineto request reinforcements?”
“许芊芊果然没有回防线求援吗?”Gao Xuis sayinglightly.高旭淡淡的说着。„Mecompletelynotrelated tohernews.”Commander Duansaid: „Obviously, shetrulynot the meaning to hererequesting reinforcements.”
“我这边完全没有有关她的消息。”段司令这么道:“显然,她确实没有向这边求援的意思。”„It seems like, shehad guessed correctlyindistinctly, Ihave also arranged the defense line.”Gao Xuthought aloudsay/way: „Has not requested reinforcementsto your side, it is estimated thatequallythought that wedo have the possibility of cooperation?”
“看来,她已经隐隐约约猜到了,我在防线这边也有所布置。”高旭自言自语似的道:“没向你那边求援,估计同样是觉得我们有合作的可能吧?”Regarding the guess of Gao Xu, Commander Duanabsolutelyhas no interestleast bit.
对于高旭的猜测,段司令完全没有半点的兴趣。
His telephones, onlytoexplain a matter.
他的这通电话,只是为了说明一件事情而已。„Since the defense linehas preparedto advance, then, yourXu Family's matterhad nothing to dowithme.”Commander Duansaid solemnly: „Mymake a movewill not helpyoucope with the Longyao Cityfutureoutstanding talentagain, got it?”
“既然防线已经准备推进,接下来,你们许家的事情就与我无关了。”段司令沉声道:“我不会再出手帮你对付陇曜市未来的优秀人才,明白了吗?”Saidthese wordstime, Commander Duanobviouslywasdiscontented, andmeaningfully.
说出这句话的时候,段司令明显是不满且意有所指的。Gao Xunaturallyknows,thisCommander Duanactuallyopposedcooperatesvery muchwith, plays a trickto plot to murderXu Qianqian.高旭自然知道,这位段司令其实很反对与自己合作,设局谋害许芊芊。Thisnotsolelybecause ofCommander Duanoneselfas a soldier, tothissecretlydevelopment/launchplansto have the inbornrepugnancegloomily, because ofitas a military headquarterscommander, the essence of being concerned about country and people have carvedinto the marrow.
这不单单是因为段司令本人作为一名军人,对这种暗地里展开的阴暗谋算有着天生的反感,更是因为其作为一名军部司令,忧国忧民的本质早已刻入骨髓。In his opinion, stillgoes studyin the schoollikeXu Qianqian, the innate skillpotential not commonchild, will beLongyao Cityin the futureimportanttalentandcombat power.
在他看来,像许芊芊这样还在学院里就读,天赋潜力均不一般的孩子,就是陇曜市未来重要的人才兼战力。IfXu Qianqiancangrowsmoothly, not necessarilycannotbecomeisLongyao Citysupports the nextday the backbone.
若是许芊芊能够顺利成长起来,未必不能成为为陇曜市撑下一片天的顶梁柱。Suchtalent, vigorouslydoes not supportandtrains, becauseinsteadsomeboredthingsplay a trickto frame, Commander Duansuchsoldierdid not feel that the repugnanceisimpossible.
这样的人才,不大力支持和培养,反而因为一些无聊的事情去设局陷害,段司令这样的军人不感到反感是不可能的。ButbecausejustCommander Duanis a soldier, hehas towith the Gao Xucooperation.
可正因为段司令是一个军人,他才不得不和高旭合作。After all, the iron rule of soldierobeys.
毕竟,军人的铁则就是服从。But the Gao XubackXu Familyinfluence, had dredged the relationsthat side the military, making their sidemakesomecoordination.
而高旭背后的许家势力,早已在军方那边疏通了关系,让他们那边做出一些配合。Commander Duanprecisely becausereceived the aboveorder, receivedsecretQuest, just nowhas tocoordinateGao Xu, designsXu Qianqian.段司令正是因为接到了上头的命令,接到了隐秘的任务,方才不得不配合高旭,设计许芊芊。Butthismatteralsostopped.
但这件事也到此为止了。
After defense lineadvancement, Commander Duanis not the person who thisdefense linecanbe master of own affairsonly, butcanconvergewithotherdefense linescommanders, togetherdevelopment/launchdecision.
防线推进以后,段司令就不是这道防线唯一能够当家做主的人,而是会与其它防线的司令官汇合,一起展开决策。
To hide the truth fromthemto coordinateGao Xu, designsXu Qianqian, thatis the unlikelymatter.
想瞒着他们配合高旭,设计许芊芊,那已经是不太可能的事情。Therefore, hisQuesthas stopped.
所以,他的任务已经到此为止。„Iknow.”Gao Xuhas not saidanything, saidindifferently: „The followingmatterthenhad nothing to dowithyou, youcompleteyourlabor of dutyto be good.”
“我知道。”高旭也没说什么,漠然道:“接下来的事情便与你无关了,你就做好自己的本职工作就好。”Then, Gao Xuhung up the telephone.
说完,高旭挂断了电话。Commander Duanhas not cared, similarlyputs down the telephone, put out a breath.段司令没有在意,同样放下电话,吐出一口气。Helooks outout of the window, the facial expressionis fillingis not being happy.
他遥望着窗外,神情充满着不愉快。„When, manipulated strategicallylikeunexpectedly, framesmutually, theseso-calledfamilyinfluences, will really take toLongyao Cityto be strongincessantly, will also bring the confusion.”
“都什么时候了,居然还像这样勾心斗角,互相陷害,这些所谓的家族势力,果然不止会带给陇曜市强大,还会带来混乱。”Obviously, Commander Duanabhorssuchmatter.
显然,段司令对这样的事情是深恶痛绝的。However, hedoes not have the meansto changeanything.
不过,他没办法改变什么。only that hecanmakeobeys the aboveorder, completesownlabor of duty, is the survival and development of Longyao Citymakes contribution.
他能做的只是服从上面的命令,做好自己的本职工作,为陇曜市的生存及发展尽一份力而已。

......Meanwhile, in a remoteold home, puts downcellphoneGao Xuto raise the head, lookstonearbyXu Yanyan.
与此同时,在一处偏僻的旧宅里,放下手机的高旭抬起头,看向一旁的许艳艳。„Plancomplete failure.”Gao Xuverydirectsay/way: „Thistimetrulydid not have the meansto makeanythingtoXu Qianqianagain, waited for the nextopportunity.”
“计划彻底失败了。”高旭很是直接的道:“这次确实没办法再对许芊芊做什么了,等下次机会吧。”„Yes.”Xu Yanyan seems to have been psychologically prepared of thisaspect, thiswill reply that is also very tranquil.
“是。”许艳艳似乎早已做好了这方面的心理准备,这会回答起来也很平静。
The failure of thisQuest, Gao Xuhas prepared a strengthto undertakein any case, the failurefailed.
反正这次任务的失败,高旭已经准备一力承担了,失败就失败了吧。Does not know that Xu Yanyanis thinkinganything'sGao Xuonlycontinued.
不知道许艳艳在想什么的高旭只是继续说着。„After going back, makingyour fathersend peopleto investigateMiss Qianqian.” The Gao Xuvisiontwinkle, said: „Mustinvestigateclearly, actuallythattalentedmysterious expertis , is also the person who inwhichsideinfluencecomes out.”
“回去以后,让你父亲派人去调查芊芊小姐。”高旭目光闪烁,道:“必须调查清楚,那个实力不俗的神秘强者究竟是谁,又是哪一方势力里出来的人。”„Knew.”Xu Yanyan is actually very carefultothismatter.
“知道了。”许艳艳对这件事倒是很上心。Has tobe careful.
不得不上心。Ifbehind Xu Qianqianreallystandsnot to belong toXu Familyhigh-class professional, thathad the possibilityreallyto have any the person of biginfluenceandXu Qianqianthatfactionvery muchhad the cooperation.
若是许芊芊的背后真的站着一个不属于许家的上级职业者,那很有可能真的有什么大势力与许芊芊那一派系的人有了合作。Reallyturns intosuchwords, theirtroubleswere big.
真的变成这样的话,他们的麻烦就大了。„ThisQuest, althoughfailed, butcancompelmysterious expert that behindMiss Qianqianhas, does not calculate that has not harvestedcompletely.”Gao Xulightly said: „In brief, thismatterIwill reporttoyour fatherpersonally, youare responsible forfamilyHunter that relatestheseto disperse.”
“这次任务虽然失败了,但能逼出芊芊小姐背后存在的神秘强者,也不算完全没有收获。”高旭淡淡的道:“总之,这件事我会亲自向你父亲汇报,你就负责联系那些走散的家族猎人吧。”„Yes.”Xu Yanyannods, whileasked: „Yourwound?”
“是。”许艳艳一边点头,一边问道:“那你的伤呢?”hearing these words, the Gao Xucorners of the mouthpull, the sighmakes noise.听到这句话,高旭嘴角一扯,叹息出声。„Pitifully, did not have much.”
“很可惜,还没好。”Without a doubt, the injury that Su Ming's 【Silver Arm】creates, is affectingGao Xuas before.
毋庸置疑,苏明的【银之臂】造成的伤势,依旧在影响着高旭。„Thatpower is very fearful, is unable to treatbyanymethod, can only recoverby the nature.”Gao Xusaid with a calm face: „Howeverrecoversby the nature, even ifIawakenedlike thisDemonizationHigh-Class Hunter, requires not the shorttime to restorethis degree ofinjuryas before.”
“那股力量果然很可怕,无法靠任何的手段进行治疗,只能靠自然痊愈。”高旭沉着脸的道:“而靠自然痊愈,就算是我这样觉醒了魔人化的上级猎人,依旧需要不短的时间才能恢复这种程度的伤势。”In other words , Gao Xueven if notis unable to fight, nomeanslike the heyday, foughtunscrupulously.
换言之,高旭就算不是无法战斗,也没办法像全盛时期那样,肆无忌惮的战斗了。Presenthiscombat powerhad come under the influence, splitscontinuallydepending onbecoming famousQilin Blade, almostbroke to pieces.
现在的他战斗力已经受到了影响,连赖以成名的麟刀都裂开来,差点就碎了。Therefore, Gao Xudoes not prepareagainmake a move.
因此,高旭已经不准备再出手。Especiallywiththatmysterious expert, ifencountersagain, Gao Xuabsolutely willretreatingwithout hesitation.
尤其是和那个神秘的强者,若是再遭遇的话,高旭一定会毫不犹豫的撤退。Otherwise, refers toerraticallyreallyby the opposite partystaying behind.
否则,指不定真会被对方给留下。„Remember, mustinvestigatehisstatus.”Gao Xuseriousis exhortingXu Yanyan, said: „Fromhisphysical quality, hehas not obviously broken the mortal body the shackles, awakensto becomeDemon, the fightexperienceis also insufficient, the skillisimmature, although the skillis good, actuallytotallydepends on the physical qualityto displaycombat techniqueto fightroutinely, is very likelyoneto have little experience of the world, does not fightfrequently, youngsupertalent.”
“记住,一定要调查他的身份。”高旭郑重的嘱咐着许艳艳,道:“从他的身体素质来看,他明显是还没打破肉身的桎梏,觉醒成为魔人,战斗经验也不足,技巧更是稚嫩,身手虽好,却是完全靠身体素质按部就班施展战斗术进行战斗,很有可能是一个涉世未深,不经常战斗,年龄不大的超级天才。”Gao Xuis relying onunexpectedlyto the information that the wartimegains, inferredSu Mingsomedetails.高旭竟是凭借着对战时获取的情报,推断出了苏明的一些底细来。„Suchdepends onspecialability and specialsensecancontendwithme, eveninjures the supertalent that medrives back, ifreallygrows, becomeslikemehigh-class professional, awakensDemonization, Iwas nothisopponent.”
“这样一个靠着特殊的能力及特殊的感官就能与我一较高下,甚至将我打伤逼退的超级天才,若是真的成长起来,成为像我一样的上级职业者,觉醒魔人化,那我就不是他的对手了。”Gao XucomplexionseriouslookstoXu Yanyan.高旭面色郑重的看向许艳艳。„Suchexistence, reallystandsthat sideXu Qianqian, absolutelyis the hugethreat.”
“这样的存在,真站到许芊芊那一边,绝对是巨大的威胁。”„However such a talent, the backhas a fearfulfamilyinfluencesurely.”
“而一个这样的天才,背后必定有一个可怕的家族势力。”„ThatinfluenceandMiss Qianqianareanythingrelate, this point, does not investigateclearly, wepossiblydid not have the meansto continueagaintohermake a move.”
“那个势力和芊芊小姐是什么关系,这一点,不调查清楚,我们可能都没办法再继续对她出手了。”Gao Xuinjunctions, makeXu Yanyanlower the head, grip the tightfist.高旭的一句句嘱咐,就让许艳艳低下了头,攥紧拳头。„Remembered, the investigationis well clear.”
“记住了,好好调查清楚。”Gao Xuthrowssucha few words, thencloses the eye, continued the training.高旭扔出这么一句话,然后闭上眼睛,继续修养了起来。Sees that Xu Yanyandrew backsilently.
见状,许艳艳默默的退了下去。Thein the eyes, a faint traceis unwilling, a faint tracehate, is fluctuating.
其眼中,一丝丝不甘,一丝丝怨恨,都在浮动着。

......Longyao City, downtown area.陇曜市,市中心区。
A in whichhigh placehere, sathigh-ranked personinstudy roomalsoreceived the call.
在这里的其中一个高处,坐在书房里的上位者同样接到了电话。„Was the action of ambushXu Qianqianfailed?”high-ranked personfrowns, coldly snorted, said: „Really, the Xu Familypeopleare the waste.”
“埋伏许芊芊的行动失败了?”上位者皱起了眉头,冷哼了一声,道:“果然,许家的人都是废物。”Unexpectedlydidn't solveincludingsmall girl?
居然连一个小丫头都解决不了?What isn't this wasteis?
这不是废物是什么?„Ok, is regarded asthatgirlto assign/lifeshould notcertainly.”high-ranked personput downthismatterquickly, asked: „Hasn't yourstatusexposed?”
“算了,就当做是那丫头命不该绝吧。”上位者很快就放下了这件事,问道:“你的身份没有暴露吧?”Thistimematter, high-ranked personused itselfin the darkpile that Xu Familyburies, making the opposite partygo tooneto facilitatethismatter.
这次的事情,上位者动用了自己在许家埋的暗桩,让对方去一手促成了这件事。Ifthisdarkpileexposed, tohigh-ranked person, losingmaybe big.
若是这个暗桩暴露了,对上位者而言,损失可就大了。Does not have the means that Xu Family, althoughbig enterprise has lots of assets, but since caninherit, naturally in onesetcopes with the ghostmethod.
没办法,许家虽家大业大,但能传承至今,自然有一套对付内鬼的方法。
Others get buried into the Xu Familyboard game piece, the position is too either low, is unable to displaybiginfluence, eitherwas lookedto clean upsimplyby the Xu Familyusemethod, canclimb up the high level, could speakside the Xu Familypersontruly, the board game piece of being able to calm downperson, eventhishigh-ranked person, onlyhad such a.
他人埋进许家的棋子,要么地位太低,无法发挥出多大的影响力,要么干脆被许家动用手段找出来清理掉了,能爬上高层,在许家人身边真正说得上话,劝得住人的棋子,即便是这个上位者,都仅有这么一个。Ifthisdid not exposecarefully, since thatwantsto makeanythingtoXu Familyagain, butwas difficult.
这要是不小心暴露了,那以来再想对许家做点什么,可就难了。Therefore, high-ranked personparticularlytreasuresthisboard game piece.
为此,上位者分外珍惜这颗棋子。„Youmost importantQuestismusthideownidentityat presentin any event.”high-ranked personheavilysay/way: „Whateven ifyouwantto makebyXu Qianqianthat sideposition, thatstillfirstguaranteesownhiding, otherwise, Ido not have the meansto rescueevenfromXu Familyyou, knows?”
“你目前最重要的任务就是无论如何都得隐藏住自己的身份。”上位者重重的道:“就算你想靠许芊芊那边的地位做些什么,那也得先保证自己的隐蔽,否则,就算是我也没办法将你从许家救出来,知道吗?”Then, high-ranked personexhortedseveral, thenhung up the telephone.
说完,上位者又是嘱咐了几句,然后挂断了电话。„Really is the small girl of good luck.”
“真是个好运的小丫头。”Thinks that Xu Qianqianmatter, high-ranked personshakes the head, no longerattention.
想到许芊芊的事情,上位者摇了摇头,不再关注。Compared with the Xu Qianqianmatter, whathecaresisthatIllusory Demoncub.
比起许芊芊的事,他更在乎的是那只幻魔幼崽。„That sideperson”has contacted withhim, toldhim, theypreventeddeparture of thatIllusory Demoncub.
“那边的人”已经联系了他,告诉他,他们阻止了那只幻魔幼崽的离开。ThatIllusory Demoncubhad lost the opportunity of returning toSpirit Demon Prison, currentlykeepsthat sideHuaming Districtas before.
那只幻魔幼崽已经失去了逃回灵魔狱的机会,目前依旧留在华明区那边。In order toobtainher, obtainsNightmare Type's bloodline, high-ranked personmustplanagain, thinking the meansto lookcub, andgrasps.
为了得到她,得到噩梦种的血脉,上位者必须再计划一番,想办法把幼崽找出来,并抓起来。„Pitifully, the warmustend, thenwantsto actunderotherbase cityhigh-levelnosessecretly, is not easy.”
“可惜,战争要结束了,接下来再想在其余基地市高层的眼皮底下偷偷行动,就没那么容易了。”high-ranked personfrownstightly, whole facehaze.上位者紧皱眉头,满脸阴霾。„It seems like, is thesedamnunderground professionalcooperationis good.”
“看来,还是得和那些该死的地下职业者合作才行。”thought until here, high-ranked personpicked up the phone.想到这里,上位者拿起了电话。

The undercurrent of surging, being doomedwill not exposeunder the sunlight.
涌动的暗流,注定是不会暴露到阳光底下的。No oneknows, atthistimewarin the back, stillhas the actionandplanning of suchmulti-person with high aspirationsunexpectedly.
没人知道,在这一次的战争的背地里,竟是还存在着如此之多有心人的行动及算计。Has the possibility, thisalso is only part.
有可能,这还仅是其中的一部分而已。Where, has been thinkinginperson, indarknessactssecretly, will not lack.
无论是在哪里,一直想着在暗地里、黑暗中行动的人,都是不会缺少的。Butat least, at present, thesethingandSu Mingand the othersirrelevant, has bustled aboutin the battlefield, onlytofinishpeople of thiscampaignremained unknown,is handlingownmatter, making the trend of campaigngraduallybright.
但至少,目前,这些东西和苏明等人无关,一直在战场上东奔西走,只为了结束这场战役的人们更是无从得知,做着自己的事情,让战役的走向逐渐明朗。Approximate4 : 00 pmof this day, Su Mingwait/etc.huntedoutside, exterminatesIllusory Demonprofessional with convergepeople who the defense lineadvancesto comeinthirddefense linethere, combat power of collectionthreedefense lines, advancetoward the seconddefense line.
这一天的大约下午 4 点,苏明等在外狩猎,清剿幻魔的职业者就在第三道防线那里与将防线推进而来的人们汇合,集三道防线的战力,向着第二道防线推进。Alsoatthis time, under the Xu Qianqianprivatesoldiersreturned tosideherfinally, shealsoreported the matter that oneselfwere attackedto the defense line.
也是在这个时候,许芊芊麾下的私兵们总算回到她身边,她亦是向防线报备了自己受袭的事情。Butat this time, Gao XuandXu Yanyanalreadynot.
可这个时候,高旭及许艳艳已经不在了。It is said that theytobe seriously injured, is unable to fightfor the reasonagain, bringsXu FamilyremainingtheseHunter, withdrew from the battlefieldtogether.
据说,他们以身受重伤,无法再战为理由,带着许家剩下的那些猎人,一起退出了战场。
The Xu Qianqiancrisisunties.许芊芊的危机就此解开。However, shehasto encounter the problemagain.
不过,她并不是没有再遇到麻烦。Because, inhersquad, the person who except thatshethinks, lost the contactcompletely.
因为,她的小队里,除了她以为的人,全部都失去了联系。IncludingLi Wei, is the life and deathdoes not knownowsimilarly,makingLi Familythat sidepersonfly into a rage.
包括李维,如今同样是生死不知,让李家那边的人为之勃然大怒。InLongyao City, the Li Familyinfluenceis not worse than Xu Familymany.
在陇曜市里,李家的势力可不比许家差多少。Now, the collateral branchtalent that oneselfregard as importantsuddenlyis missing, the life and deathdoes not know, that sideLi Familydoes not makeanything, thatis the impossiblematter.
如今,自家看重的旁系天才突然失踪,生死不知,李家那边不做些什么,那是不可能的事情。Canbe able to imagine, then, Xu Qianqianabsolutely willreceivesproblem-making of Li Family.
可以想象得到,接下来,许芊芊一定会受到李家的刁难。Ifwere knownbyLi Family, Li Wei's matter, is completely because the Xu Familyinternalblind competitioncauses, thatXu Familyestimatealsohadtroublesome.
若是被李家得知,李维的事情,完全是因为许家内部的恶性竞争才导致的的话,那许家估计也有麻烦了。in a nutshell, Xu Qianqianwassafe, butregarding the trouble of herdevelopment/launch, being doomednotthatsimpleremoved.一言蔽之,许芊芊是安全了,但围绕着她展开的麻烦,注定是不会那么简单的就褪去的。Naturally, thishas had nothing to dowithSu Ming.
当然,这已经与苏明无关了。Su MingonlyandXu Qianqianwere equalingsecretly, preparesbyXu Qianqianthat sidechannel, Xiao Hai'ersending outHuaming District.苏明只是和许芊芊在暗地里合计了一下,准备靠许芊芊那边的渠道,将小海儿给送出华明区。ToSu Ming, the matter that needsto pay attention totrulyonly thenthis.
对苏明来说,真正需要关注的事情就只有这一件而已。Then, thirddefense linehere, the peoplestartsto advanceagain.
然后,在第三道防线这里,众人才开始再次推进。
The goal, points to the forefront.
目标,直指最前线。
