Boundary Convention

diary excerpt

"We waste a lot of energy on things other than exploration, which makes me feel powerless. I never thought that our colleagues could be so short-sighted."

I woke up with a jolt to the "hum" of the propeller spinning in my ears.

I sat up and couldn't help but feel a little cold. The howling wind blew all night, freezing my face numb.

"woke up?"

At this time, Mo Xiao's greetings came from my ear.

I turned my head and saw that she was still concentrating on driving the helicopter, without any tiredness on her face.

"How did you sleep last night?"

"It's okay, aren't you tired, sir?"

"It won't be long, why do you still care about me?"

She said, suddenly one hand opened the locker under the operating table, took out something from it and threw it at me. I took it and saw that it was a small glass bottle filled with a reddish-brown liquid, and the name marked on the wrapping paper had been worn out so that it could not be seen clearly.

"This is?"

"Rhodiola rosea, I found it by accident. Last night you said dizziness and difficulty breathing, probably due to altitude sickness. Our current flight altitude is 400 meters. Adding the original altitude, it is already about 6,000 meters. "

"Did we fly that high..."

I looked down in disbelief, and I could barely see the scenery on the ground. Apart from the loess, I could occasionally see the remains of some abandoned buildings.

"If you fly too low, there will be a lot of trouble. Anyway, drink it for me quickly."

"Oh, I see."

Under her urging, I unscrewed the cap of the bottle and smelled it. It was a sour smell of rotten fruit. I held my breath, raised my head and drank the red liquid in the bottle... I really don’t know this medicine Why did Shang design the mouth of the bottle so small? It took me a long time to drink this bottle of potion, and my mouth was filled with a disgusting sour smell.

But after drinking it, the feeling of dizziness and breathlessness completely disappeared.

"Oh, it's really effective." I couldn't help sighing, and my body seemed to warm up.

"Is it effective? Is there no other feeling?"

"Well, no." I replied.

"That's good, it doesn't seem to have expired." Mo Xiao smiled, and clicked her tongue as if nothing had happened, only to see her pet named Newton come out from behind along her collar, from the storage. Another bottle of Rhodiola came out from the cabinet, along with a straw. This green chameleon was in front of my eyes, aiming at the cap of the bottle and poking it down with a straw, then lying on Mo Xiao's shoulder, held up the can of Rhodiola and fed it to her. Unexpectedly, this elusive little guy is quite good at serving people.

"When did Newton come here? Why didn't I see it all the way?"

"Have you forgotten what it is?" Mo Xiao asked back.

"That's right! It's a chameleon! Then it shouldn't have been on your body since it escaped from the library?" I suddenly realized.

"No, it might also be on you," Mo Xiao smiled slightly.

"It's amazing, if that's the case, why can't I feel its weight?" I couldn't help wondering.

"Young master, you started asking a hundred thousand reasons again. By the way, I have a question to ask you now." Mo Xiao suddenly changed the subject, "After you left the library, have you ever had an attack of illness?"

When asked by Mo Xiao abruptly, I was surprised to find that my crow's mouth seemed to have disappeared. After escaping from the library, I have experienced too many thrilling things along the way, and logically it should have occurred several times. But in fact, except for that strange dream when I was splashing in the sea, I never had the so-called "intermittent paranoia".

After learning that my symptoms had disappeared, Mo Xiao didn't show any surprise, she just kept drinking rhodiola while fiddling with the steering wheel of the helicopter without looking back.

"Director, I'm actually not sick at all, right? Then you took all the effort to get me out of the library, isn't it just because you're on the way?" I asked tentatively.

She was silent for a while, and the hand that had been moving the helicopter joystick paused for a moment, and then she spoke.

"I remember that I seemed to say...I want to take you to hell?"

"I said so."

"As for me, I actually hate a fragile and hypocritical little boy like you the most."

Having said that, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, she clicked her tongue again, and opened her mouth wide. In response, Newton threw the rhodiola he was holding out of the window out of the window, took out a lollipop from her jacket pocket, unwrapped the wrapping paper carefully, and put it into Mo Xiao's mouth.

"So, I just want to take you, a guy like you who has built a car behind closed doors and has never seen the world, to come out and see how cruel the outside world is."

"Is this... like this?"

"But, that's not the most important thing." As she spoke, she suddenly changed the topic. "My mother and I had some conflicts. You are very important research material for her, so I brought you out, and the old woman must be very angry."

"Lingtang is..."

"It's the one you shouted one professor at a time, don't you know?"

"The professor is your mother?!" It was so shocking that I cried out in surprise.

"It's a big fuss, almost the whole hospital knows about it."

"But you don't look at all..." At this point, I stopped my mouth very wisely. "sorry."

But she remained silent, she neither said something politely nor accused me, and looked at the gray sky with wandering eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"Look at the bottom more." She said after a long time, "Don't you like drawing? There are not many opportunities to view the scenery from the sky, so it will help your painting to some extent?"

I nodded to her and looked out the window. Just as I was looking down at the monotonous land, I heard her approving voice again.

"That's right, that's it, let's see more about hell."

Looking down at the past, all I can see are the ruins that have been destroyed. Compared with the slums of Dyson Bay, it is a paradise. There is no trace of human life on the ground here... I can’t imagine that such a large piece of land will be destroyed. idle.

Gradually, I found that the land below became muddy, and the originally dry ground became a little wet, with large and small swamps overflowing with water.

I poked my head out and looked, and there seemed to be some scattered things moving below. On the road where the traces could barely be seen, I noticed that there seemed to be something black. I stared at the black spot for a while, and found that the black spot was actually moving... No, to be precise, it should be wriggling .

"What's that?" I pointed to the black spot and asked Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao squinted at the place I was pointing at, and replied briefly with two words.

"insect."

"Is there such a big bug here?" I frowned. This is as good as the legendary Chernobyl giant cockroach. As I was thinking this, I noticed a 'white' spot not far from the bug, which was obviously a human being, but wearing a white cloak. He walked staggeringly, as if his body was very weak, and he might fall down on the spot anytime and anywhere.

"There's someone there." I said to Mo Xiao. "He doesn't look well."

As soon as the words fell, the man in the white cloak fell down next to the 'black worm', and the whole person threw himself on the ground and turned into a 'white worm'. Immediately, I understood that the one just now was not a 'bug' at all, but a person, a living person who fell on the ground.

The people around seemed to turn a blind eye to the 'bugs' who had fallen to the ground, and they still walked forward with their heads down. They seemed to be blind, facing the ground, but they couldn't see the bloody mouth of the muddy swamp under their feet, like ants that fell into the belly of a pitcher plant, flopped twice in it and then slowly sank to the bottom of the pool.

Scattered walkers on the ground, five or six out of ten were buried in the belly of the marsh, among the withered and dying rotten wood, the sound of helpless pleas and sighs lingered. The rest of the lucky ones who escaped the swamp fell in disorder on the safe land covered with stars, stretching for hundreds of miles, like a long strip of anthrax on the skin. Some of these people were still mechanically scratching the soil with their hands, slowly wriggling forward, while some simply remained motionless on the ground, buried by the blown sand, looming in the soil.

Those who were still struggling to walk didn't seem to be able to hold on for long, leaning on crutches, with their heads down, they kept moving forward. Even if they caught a glimpse of their companions who fell to the ground from exhaustion, they did not stop at all. Facing the endless wasteland, they advanced in vain, like moths attracted by the nameless flame. This feeling of despair even infected me who was at an altitude of four or five hundred meters.

I glared at Mo Xiao, I don’t know if she really got it wrong or said that on purpose...

"I think we should..."

"impossible."

Before I finished speaking, Mo Xiao interrupted me, as if she could always predict what I was going to say.

"This helicopter can only take two people."

"You can't just ignore death!"

"Then how are you going to save those people?" Saying this, she raised her chin.

"These people are..."

"Pilgrims," ​​she said quietly, as if she had seen it all too often. "Did you know? In the Middle Ages, those Christians believed that as long as they went to Jerusalem, licked the handle of the temple, and worshiped twice in front of the Holy Sepulchre, they could cure all diseases."

"How is it possible, this is ridiculous."

"Yeah, it's ridiculous," she said coldly. "But there was no medicine back then, and the so-called doctors were just shavers who could bleed blood, so that's the only thing people could believe...these people are the same."

"Where are they going?"

"Where we are going."

"Then why can't we give them a ride?"

"Look, is there any room for us here?" Mo Xiao gave me an impatient look.

"Then... can I throw some water or food down there? I remember last night's bread and water were taken from the back of the helicopter..."

Even so, I still don't want to give up those people below, even if it's just a little help.

But the only response to me was Mo Xiao's sneer. She gave me a blank look and refused my request without hesitation.

"Why?" I couldn't help asking. "We should still have a lot of food."

"So what if there are many, young master, the consumables will always be used up. Do you know how far we have to go?"

"This..." I was speechless.

"Besides, do you know what will happen if you throw a piece of meat into a group of hungry wolves? In order to compete for food, the wolves will kill and fight with each other, regardless of whether the other party is the same kind. In the eyes of dying people, now only The most important thing is to survive, and I am afraid that more uncomfortable things will happen to you."

"But..." My words stopped abruptly again, her logic was impeccable, or maybe it should be said that I was thinking too superficially. She looked at me and sighed deeply.

"If you're worried about moral condemnation, let me tell you a story."

She cleared her throat.

"Once upon a time, a botanist went to Mexico for investigation. The dictator of Mexico happened to arrest twenty innocent people at this time. Out of respect for the botanist, the dictator made a suggestion that if the botanist If you personally shoot one prisoner, the remaining nineteen prisoners can be released without charge. What do you think should be done?"

"should……"

This, if I remember correctly, this question seems to have been mentioned in the lectures in the hospital, and there is also a 'standard answer' to this question.

"It should be rejected."

I said hesitantly. If I remember correctly, it seems to be the answer, although I don't think there is a 'standard answer' to this kind of question.

"That's right."

Mo Xiao smiled.

"It seems that your class is not all sleeping and scribbling on the textbook. This is the prototype of the trolley problem. The correct choice is-do nothing and stay out of it. Because once you participate in this matter, you have to do it for yourself. The person who dies is responsible, regardless of whether you saved the other nineteen people. People don’t lighten their burdens for saving someone, but they must bear the shackles for killing someone...Is it ironic?" Speaking of this, I felt the corner of Mo Xiao's mouth twitch.

"I used to be the same, I wanted to save everyone, never give up on any one..."

In the middle of speaking, she stopped her mouth, crushed the lollipop in her mouth, spit it on the carpet of the plane, and fell into silence.

"You must be too," I heard her murmur at last.

The midday sun gradually became stronger. Maybe it's because I'm flying higher, or maybe it's because I'm bored, I feel a little sleepy when I'm bathed in the warm sunshine.

I looked at Mo Xiao, who was still operating the plane, she was still the same as in the morning, with a casual look, as if she didn't need to rest at all.

"Aren't you tired?" I tried to ask her. "You haven't slept all night."

"It's okay," she said, "I'm used to staying up all night. I used to stay up for 72 hours to catch up on reports and papers." There was a bit of boastfulness in her voice.

"72 hours... Aren't you afraid of sudden death...?"

"What's the matter, King Frederick II only slept six hours a day and had to get up to deal with government affairs, Edison only slept four hours a day to continue his invention, and Da Vinci..."

"What happened to Da Vinci?"

"Da Vinci was even more exaggerated. He only slept for two hours a day. For this reason, he also invented the so-called 'Da Vinci-style sleep method', also known as the 'multi-stage sleep method'."

These are all geniuses from ancient times... I thought to myself, I seem to have heard about these rumors in the hospital newspapers and magazines circulated in the hospital, and what they said was very mysterious. Although the above explanation is clear and logical, I have never believed it.

"The human brain has great potential. Do you know about the rate of brain development?"

"Well, it is said that the human brain is only developed by 10%." Of course, this is actually what Copley of the hospital said.

"Actually, this is a rumor. It is the result of the rumors that originated from William James's statement that 'the average person only exerts 10% of his intelligence'."

"Is that so..." I nodded, and I still believed it.

"It's actually even less than that, probably only 2.53146%."

Hearing this sentence, I froze, 2.53146? This is too far from 10%, right? Could it be said that human beings have created such a brilliant human civilization by relying on only a few percent of their intelligence from ancient times to the present?

"Hmph, I can see that you have been harmed by those pseudosciences a lot. There is no other way. Let me tell you some 'common sense' about this."

Mo Xiao continued. She put a lot of emphasis on the word 'common sense', and it seemed that this topic hit her point of interest. Anyway, being idle is idle, so it’s good to listen.

But before she could speak, the whole helicopter suddenly vibrated violently. Is it turbulent air? But it's only 400 meters high here, so there shouldn't be such turbulence, right? Is there something wrong with the plane?

Just when I thought about it—I just remembered that I was a crow's mouth, no no no, I can't have such terrible thoughts in my mind. Only the sound of flameout from the engine at the back of the plane was heard, and the buzzing propeller above the head gradually became clear about the long and narrow rotor.

Mo Xiao knocked hard on the console and cursed loudly.

"That dead old man... Isn't it the price of killing him for a few hundred? The gas tank is not full for me, ah~~~"

The violent weightlessness mixed with the bumps pulled my body, my eyes went dark, and I felt like my face was about to be torn off by some force, and the whole helicopter began to tilt seriously.

"Master... Director!! I'm going to fall!!!"

"Let go! Don't pull my clothes! I can't control the steering wheel~~~~~~"

Before Mo Xiao could finish speaking, the helicopter carrying the two of them swayed left and right towards the heat wave at the end and fell down.

Mo Xiao's helicopter skills are very average. Although I don't know anything about flying helicopters, judging from her clumsy appearance when she made an emergency landing, she should be just a novice. If you have to ask why, it is of course because she landed with her tail fin. The moment I faced the sun in the sky after landing, I really thought that we were going to be buried in this desert.

But luckily, this helicopter is strong enough, and the ground here is very soft. After the helicopter's tail was inserted straight into the ground, there was no explosion. Mo Xiao and I only scratched the skin a little in the chubby cabin. However, when Mo Xiao got off the plane, he fell hard and got mud all over his face.

"Director, are you alright?" I wanted to lean forward to help her.

"It's okay! Keep going!" Mo Xiao shook off my hand.

"Where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Saying so, she stretched her body and got into the standing case of the helicopter, and pulled out the two boxes containing water and bread, and pulled out two travel backpacks.

"Ha, it seems that this dead old man has expected this situation a long time ago, and even prepared escape supplies for me."

She said through gritted teeth, bent down and stuffed water and bread into her backpack, maybe because she didn't let her anger out, she yelled at me again.

"What are you looking at! Come pretend!"

Soon, we packed two bags of bread and water. According to Mo Xiao's request, put more water and less bread.

"A person can live for about a month without food, but if there is no water, they can only last for three days at most. And eating will consume water in the body, especially eating dry things like bread, so the ratio of water to bread should be 2 :1 or even 3:1."

"You are very good at traveling in this environment."

"Of course, when I was with the professor's scientific expedition team in the Sahara Desert and the Grand Canyon of Colorado, you little brat probably didn't even understand addition and subtraction within 10."

Suddenly, she stopped abruptly and signaled me to stop. At this time, I also noticed some strange movements around me.

I saw her reach out her hand to block in front of me, and said with a serious expression: "Don't panic."

Suddenly, several sharp spears were thrown from all directions, and they stabbed straight on the ground in front of us. I looked up, and dozens of people had already appeared in the place where no one was seen just now. They wore black The coats all wore hoods and steel helmets, and the hats were pulled down extremely low, covering their faces. Even so, I was surprised to find that the faces of this group of people were tightly wrapped with a white translucent bandage. Combined with the intense sunlight and the swirling dust, it looks like a mummy, which makes people shudder.

And the most frightening thing is that their bodies are filled with an indescribable black mist. This black mist mixed with sand and dust seemed to be some kind of 'disease' visible to the naked eye, exhaled from various places on the body. This black mist made people instinctively want to stay away, and even became cautious about breathing.

"It came so fast."

Mo Xiao shrugged, said as he dropped the backpack on his shoulders, and raised his hands.

Mo Xiao...she just got caught like this? I couldn't believe my eyes, she surrendered directly? No, it must not be that simple. Seeing her easy-going appearance, I know she must have some tricks that she hasn't used yet.

My eyes kept wandering between her and the group of bandage people. At this moment, I can only watch the director show off his power...

Why isn't she doing it yet? Did she really surrender? Those black mist are about to touch us...!

Just when I realized it, those bandaged guys glared at us, pulled out the spears stuck in the ground, and rushed towards me. I hurriedly squatted down holding my head. At this time, I saw Mo Xiao rushing over desperately, blocking in front of me, then opened his hands and shouted at them:

"Endless night, the hell that devours the living!"

This roar was transmitted for an unknown distance, echoing in the open wilderness with a loud echo. When the bandages heard these words, as if they had heard an order, they all stopped attacking and looked at each other.

"Can you take me to meet your god?" She put down her arms in front of me and said in a very calm tone. "I am her sister."

It was the first time in my life that I saw such a scene.

Under the leadership of this group of banders, we began to move towards the hinterland, and above the sky, something was slowly undulating, like the water surface being poured into muddy paint, and the makeup was smeared on the sky , it makes people feel very uncomfortable from a distance.

Walking along the narrow path, I stopped subconsciously. Look up and watch the objects wriggling in the sky. This indescribable thing twists and moves like a snake, and changes its shape like a thin silk scarf floating in the air. Let's call it silk.

"Walk."

The guy in the gas mask behind me gave me a hard push and yelled at me.

He seemed to be used to the stunning scenery in front of him.

"Here we are," said the man at the front of the line, and fell to his knees with a plop. When he knelt, the whole team knelt down like dominoes.

"Kneel down too!" the guy behind me yelled at us in a low voice.

A group of us knelt in this potholed ground for ten or twenty minutes, looking down at the ground, doing nothing, making people puzzled.

"Director, what are you doing?" I asked in a low voice.

"Unreasonable." And Mo Xiao also habitually ignored me, just muttering in a low voice. The complaint seemed to be heard, and the guy behind stabbed him on the buttocks again.

"No butt piercing!" Mo Xiao turned around and gave that guy a somewhat funny expression.

After a while, these people seemed to have had enough kneeling, and they all stood up one after another. It was the first time I knelt for such a long time, my feet were numb, and Mo Xiao couldn't even stand up, I pulled her up from the ground, and the two of them supported each other to barely stand still. At this time, the team moved again.

I looked at the sky, and the squirming silk seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. When I walked around the boulder at the corner, the vision in front of me suddenly widened. I can now clearly see the wriggling object and the beautiful scenery shrouded in darkness.

"Director, what is in the sky?"

I tried to ask Mo Xiao a few words, but Mo Xiao just stared at the changing silk in the air, frowning, as if thinking about something.

Gradually, we are approaching the filth in the sky, and we can see the junction of evening and midnight from a distance, and the silk is like a wall separating the two. As the team moved forward, I felt that the temperature was gradually dropping, and I could even exhale white air. The soil under my feet seemed to have a layer of frost and became a little slippery.

The road gradually became steeper, and the dirt road extended upwards at a slight angle. Just like the outside, there was not much vegetation here, only a few lonely dead trees lingering on the barren land.

Suddenly, the team stopped again, I looked around, and from the low bushes, people who also wore gas masks sneaked up, they greeted each other, exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then They pointed at us for a while, and bowed to each other.

Then, the leader of the team yelled into the darkness far away and waved his hands.

Immediately, a great light emerged from the darkness, dozens of searchlights were turned on, and the dazzling light almost burned my lens. I hurriedly covered my eyes, and it took a long time before I dared to open them again, only to see that the dark road just now was as clear as day. The path paved with crushed stone slabs is set in the muddy mud, which is particularly eye-catching.

The road leads straight to a majestic end point - looking along the rising terrain, looking across the mountainside in the distance, a gloomy old castle stands in it. The building blends in with the surrounding rock as if carved out of the entire mountain. Because of its high terrain and thick walls, it looks extraordinarily magnificent. But this is not the most astonishing thing. Below the castle, there is a sudden cliff, hanging alone under the city wall. This cliff is very different from the surrounding blue-gray rocks, showing a pure white light under the moonlight. On this white wall, there are a large number of scaffolding. I observed carefully, they wanted to hollow out the entire mountain wall and make a cliff carving. Although it is not finished yet, the slender limbs and the whiteness of the cliff make me think that what they carved seems to be a woman...

"Hmph, she has the same problem with her mother, she likes to play with these silly things." Mo Xiao sniffed his nose and rolled his eyes at the lofty castle.

At this moment, the bandage man came over, took out a piece of black cloth and waved it in front of my eyes.

"You people are not qualified to see the magnificence of the Holy City. You must be blindfolded when entering the city."

After hearing this, Mo Xiao shrugged his shoulders at me, stretched out his head and let the guy put on the blindfold.

"Anyway, I saw it..." I murmured softly, and also stretched my neck.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, we were brought to a place when we were pressed down on our shoulders and kneeled down, and then our blindfolds were ripped off.

After returning to the light, I couldn't wait to look around, we seemed to be in a living room, and a long dining table appeared in front of me, which reached the other end of the room, surrounded by antique flowers and potted plants, and a pair of armor There are many famous paintings hanging on the walls, some of which look familiar. In the center of the room is a bronze leather throne.

"Huh, it's finally here." Mo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Director, do they take care of the food here?" The hunger caused by the empty stomach made me miss the bowl of hot oily noodles before.

"It deserves it, I should starve you a few times," Mo Xiao said, moving his stiff body.

"Speaking of which, where is it?"

"The residence of the eternal dead, isn't it interesting?"

"'Eternal Undead'? What is this?" This kind of childish-sounding name is really unflattering, and it is hard to imagine what kind of serious organization this is.

"Take it as an organization of the 'Pilgrims'." Mo Xiao said coldly. "An organization that worships a bullshit god."

Another pilgrim, another god... what exactly do these refer to? Speaking of which, Mo Xiao seems to have said before that she is the sister of these guys' gods.

"Wasteland, remember what I said, after you go in later, no matter what I say or do, you just follow me, do you hear me?" She said, looking at the curtain door beside the throne.

"Understood, Director." At this moment, I already felt that our situation was unusual.

As soon as the words fell, several people walked in from behind the curtain. The leader was a mighty giant in a hood, and his body was also wrapped in bandages, but compared with the others wearing gas masks behind him, the amount of bandages he wrapped was much smaller. Obviously much less. In front of these big men, walked a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, she was proud, as if she was a great person.

That person is 'God'? I frowned, isn't it just a little girl... Just when I was wondering, this girl stopped in front of the throne. For her, the throne still seemed a bit high. The girl slightly raised her head, and the big man in the lead dragged out the chair in front of her, and hugged her onto the seat.

The girl coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said.

"It's been a long time, my lord."

elder sister? That being the case, does that mean she is Mo Xiao's younger sister, the so-called 'god'? From this point of view, the girl's appearance is indeed a bit different from ordinary people: the hanging silver hair is slightly curly, and the amber eyes are not like an ordinary person. look familiar.

"Long time no see! How is my sister's health recently? Are you feeling comfortable?" Mo Xiao changed his previous image and suddenly became obsequious.

"On the contrary, I haven't heard any news about you and the old woman's death. I don't even have an appetite for dinner." The girl said unhurriedly.

"Um, I'm really sorry." Mo Xiao smiled so apologetically.

After listening, the girl smiled coldly, "Okay, let's talk about business, if you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall, what do you want me to do, oh yes, you don't need to say things like 'I'm her sister' next time , is it interesting?"

Mo Xiao clicked his lips, as if he was speechless by her sarcasm, and fell into silence for a while.

The girl looked at Mo Xiao's embarrassment and seemed very satisfied, so she cast her amber eyes on me. After looking at me carefully for a while, he smiled.

"Ah, I see, it must be so."

She said suddenly.

"He's your boyfriend, right? You eloped and have no relatives, so you had to come and join me."

"That! That's not the case!"

Before Mo Xiao could speak, I hastily denied it, which was really outrageous.

"Yes! You're right!" Mo Xiao suddenly took the words, "To tell the truth, the professor made things difficult for us, the fateful couple. We have nowhere to go, so we can only..."

"All right, all right, I already know," the girl interjected before Mo Xiao finished speaking, "Sister, did you really destroy the library? Where's the old woman?"

Mo Xiao paused, and said: "Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore. Professor, she has already died in the sea of ​​fire. I'm sorry." Mo Xiao lowered his head, and tears welled up in his eyes .

"Wow, my lord sister is really capable, so the handsome guy next to you is the one the old woman is looking for?"

As she spoke, she cast a questioning look at Mo Xiao, who nodded reluctantly.

"So that's it...he is 'that person'." The girl rubbed her chin thoughtfully. Suddenly, he slapped the table unpreparedly and pointed at me.

"It's really hard work, my lord, you are very satisfied, come quickly, and tie them up!"

"What do you mean?!" Suddenly, Mo Xiao shouted. "You know this guy..."

"I know."

The girl's words made Mo Xiao stop talking.

"Did my sister think me an idiot? How could someone like an old woman die so easily. Since you can't kill the old woman, you are worthless to me, and the little girl beside you The handsome guy is the one the old woman has been looking for, so killing him will at least make the old woman depressed for a few days, right?"

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine, the girl lowered her head slightly, and suddenly changed her appearance, like a devil laughing grinningly, which made me break out in a cold sweat.

"Come on, tie up."

"You..." Mo Xiao stared at the girl, but his normally eloquent mouth suddenly became silent. I looked at Mo Xiao as if asking for help, but after a while, she still couldn't say a word, she just raised her hand as if she wanted to rush up to give her a slap in the face, but was pressed tightly by the people behind her. on the chair.

"Then think about how I should send you to hell? You thief!"

The girl showed uncontrollable ecstasy and looked at me with a distorted face.

"Hanging, disembowelling, decapitating a dragon, hanging half-dead, opening your stomach and burning the entrails in front of your eyes until the last ax..."

"Please wait a moment, Miss." Just as she was excitedly describing the horrific criminal laws, the giant man standing behind him suddenly interrupted.

The girl's obsessive chatter stopped immediately.

"Do you have any good advice? Don't give me such a disappointment like shooting."

"Yes, my suggestion is... please let the two of them go."

"Huh? What language do you speak?" The girl suddenly put away her smile.

"Chinese."

"Where... is that dialect?" The girl frowned. "You mean you want me to let him go?"

"Yes."

"Give me a reason."

"It's very inappropriate to execute the guests you meet for the first time. Besides, your reasons are not too good. Although I know how you want to take revenge on the madam and the eldest lady, the information we have obtained so far is not enough. To accurately judge what happened at the library."

"Well, it seems to make sense."

The girl then sat down again, took a breath in her mouth, puffed up her bun face, thought for a while and said with some reluctance: "Then get rid of the handsome guy, aren't you her boyfriend? Then Die for her."

The giant man sighed heavily and looked at me with a sorry expression. Mo Xiao wanted to refute something, but just as he opened his mouth, the girl motioned for the people behind to cover her mouth firmly.

The person behind me pulled me out of my seat, and my mind went blank. How is this going? I clearly escaped from the fire scene, and escaped the helicopter crash... Isn't it said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune? Did Mo Xiao really send me to hell? !

All this happened so unreasonably and so suddenly that I didn't even have the reaction to cry, I could only stare blankly ahead.

At this moment, the sound of metal hitting the ground suddenly came from somewhere.

I followed the sound and saw that the sound came from the armor behind the girl. The armor held the halberd in its hand and struck the ground three times, causing a dull echo in the room. For a moment, everyone focused their attention on the armor. The girl glanced at the armor, frowned, and then said thoughtfully to everyone: "Stop, lock up that woman first, and then arrange this little brother into the best guest room."
