Chapter 127: No Choice
Lird tilted his head and closed his eyes slightly, and at this moment he felt indifferent to the passage of time around him, as if he had been separated from the world.
Qianrou sat in front of him without saying a word, her eyes calm and calm. The atmosphere inside the tent was like her eyes, without the slightest wave.
After a long time, Lird opened his eyes and looked at Qian Ju in front of him and said, "We, what should we do?"
Qianrou said calmly: "Naturally, I entered the world of Tritoglaia Stone Inscriptions. ”
Although Lird had an expectation in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but tremble when he heard Qianrou's words.
Qianju: "What's the matter?"
Lird didn't answer, in fact, it was just as Qianrou said, and Lird had a great sense of fear in his heart. Although Qianrou's words are prosaic, entering the alien space in the stone inscription of Tritogreia is different from coming to India from the United States, and it is by no means described by the word danger, and when he thinks that he is about to face a separation of body and soul, Liard's heart has given birth to infinite fear.
In the face of Lird's silence, Qianrou did not show the slightest ridicule and disdain, and finally nodded and said, "It's still early, you can go back and rest." ”
Lird was a little surprised by Qianrou's eviction, but he didn't say anything in the end, just slowly stood up and walked out. When he reached the door of the inner tent, Qianrou suddenly stopped Lird, who stood still but did not look back.
"We'll see you in the evening. Qianrou whispered, and Lird stepped out.
Outside the tent, a cold wind and snow blew in the sky, but he could no longer feel the cold when it hit Lird. No matter how harsh the cold wind slapped on his face, Liard's expression became unwavering.
When Lird returned to the tent, Edward sat in the tent with a grim face, and when he saw Leard enter the tent, he immediately said to him, "What happened?"
Lird was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he subconsciously shook his head, Edward's face had long since lost the cynical attitude he had before. He stared at Lird, he didn't see any hidden heart on Lird's face, and sighed slightly and said, "Young Master, didn't you notice anything unusual?"
Lird shook his head and said, "No... Did something happen?"
Edward looked at Lird and said word by word, "We, imprisoned. ”
The words struck Learde like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he could not believe his ears, and now he tried to recall what he had seen, but saw nothing unusual.
Edward said, "My little falcon can't get in. ”
Lird soon realized that the so-called falcon was the spiritual eaglet that Edward had raised, and that the falcon was also Edward's helper who was able to observe Lird closely.
But Lird was skeptical, saying, "Could it be that there was some accident? For example, if it was out foraging or lost its direction for a while, or that it had some accident..."
"No way!" said Edward categorically.
"Young master, don't you know, although you only saw one of my little falcons, in fact, I didn't just bring all the birds to India, seven to be exact!"
"These seven birds have been selected and trained by me, and each one is extremely spiritual and survival skillful, and they have helped me through one mission after another over the years, and nothing has gone wrong in the process. I'm not boasting, but I1 Training Eagle Camp has a rather unique and effective method, even if one falcon has an occasional problematic accident, the other falcons can make up for it. And now not a single bird has appeared with me. ”
When Edward said this, his voice was unconsciously high-pitched, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger.
Lird looked at Edward, with his knowledge of Edward, he was not lying at the moment, although Edward often showed a cynical appearance, but his behavior was indeed very meticulous and reliable.
At the same time, after thinking about it, Lird realized that what Edward said was in line with reality.
"I'll go out and have a look. With that, Lird walked straight out of the tent.
At this critical moment, Lird showed a calm look, which Lird himself felt very incredible, and in this short period of time, his growth rate was really rapid.
Lird seemed to be a little hungry, and began to walk in the direction of the porridge shed, along the way Liard's expression was very indifferent, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes did not squint, but inadvertently the corner of his eye still looked around.
Soon, Lird discovered the anomaly, first of all, the location of the tent where Lird lived was not far from the big tent where Qianrou was, not enough that there were still a few Atlantean remnant households around, and after the German warplanes attacked here, there were more people among the households that had barely experienced damage, and Lird would see some women sewing clothes, people doing mending work, and children running and playing carefree and crazy every time he walked here.
At this moment, these people have completely disappeared without a trace like the overnight rain in the summer, and they can only see a few men sitting around sporadically, seemingly chatting, but they don't have any work in their hands, and it is clear that they have a deeper purpose.
Eventually, Lird sighed lightly, and at this point he realized that what Qianrou had given him was not a multiple-choice question.
...
When Lird returned to the tent, Edward had already guessed the truth by looking at him, and he did not ask Lird anything, but looked at him silently. And Lird just lived to sit down next to the bed he had beaten, and also did not say a word.
After a long time, Edward spoke, "What did that sacrifice tell you?"
Lird remained silent.
Edward said coldly: "It's already this time, you still want to hide it from me?"
Lird shook his head and whispered, "I'm here for your good." ”
Edward smiled, "For my good, young master, do you still think that as long as you keep a secret, even if things go in the worst direction, the final disaster will not befall me? ”
"Think about it, if they're going to do it to you, then what am I? I'm afraid they won't give me even five minutes after you die. ”
Lird was silent, knowing that Edward was right. Edward couldn't ask for a reason for putting such a stuffy gourd on the stall of Learder, he knew that if Leard didn't want to say it, then no matter what he said, he couldn't change his will, otherwise Lird would have returned to the United States with him two days ago.
In the end, Edward sighed helplessly, and after a moment of silence: "Since you are unwilling to tell me the truth, young master, then I still hope that you can answer me a question seriously." ”
Leard nodded and said, "I'll do my best." ”
Edward said, "Did the sacrifice make any request to you?"
Lird was stunned, he didn't know how Edward had guessed this, and he didn't have time to react.
"Whatever she proposes, promise her first!" said Edward, his tone unequivocally firm.
Lird looked at the solemn and serious Edward, his eyes were a little lost for a moment, and he muttered to himself, "Now I can't be sure if she counts as a request or not." ”
Edward said: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you must behave meekly now and show your obedient attitude! ”
Lird muttered, "I hurt you." ”
Edward looked at Lird's lonely appearance, his eyes moved, and then he sat down beside Lird with a wry smile and said, "It's useless to say anything now, let's think about how to deal with this difficult situation in front of us." By the way, if we can survive this time, don't forget to add money to me when we return to the United States. ”
Lird couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he heard this, and then Edward laughed too, and the tense and depressing atmosphere dissipated.
After a while, Edward said, "In any case, these barbarians have only imprisoned us now, and have not killed us, which means that although they are afraid of us, they still have a place to use us... Or maybe I need your help. "Edward set his sights on Lird, and it was as if my life was all on you.
Lire also understands the second reason, but when Lird can't figure out why Qianrou insists on involving herself in the core of this matter?
Now that she has the direction of the plan and the means and strength to enter the Tritocleia Stone Inscription, why is she telling herself the most important secret today, and forcing herself to enter the world of the Tritogramia Stone Inscription, is it possible that there is some unknown secret in it?
The result was yes, but Lird really couldn't figure it out if he wanted to.
Edward watched Lird's every move, judging from Lird's subtle expression, he was indeed caught in some kind of tangled contradiction, obviously he himself was also deeply confused, which made Edward feel worried, but felt that his future was also more auspicious.
"It doesn't matter, people die and the eggs are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years. If these barbarians really want to tear their faces, then I don't mind breaking the net with them. After that, Edward said to Liard: "Remember my words, young master, in the coming days, always maintain the highest vigilance, and at the same time keep the gun I gave you, at the critical moment, it is your most important reliance!"
...
Night fell again, and not so long ago the sun was in the middle of the sky, and before you knew it, darkness was hanging over the earth.
During this time, a simple meal was brought to the two of them, and Edward did not refuse to come, according to his words, if the wild people wanted to do something to themselves, there was absolutely no need to go to such trouble as poisoning the food.
Lird asked Edward if he was not afraid of drugs or anything like that in his meal, and when he was covered by Miyun, the other party would take it down without a single soldier.
A meaningful smile appeared on Edward's face, and he said to Lird, "If they do that, it will end badly as well." ”
He knew something about Edward's ruthlessness, and if it was in normal times, Lird would definitely stop his madness. However, at this time, Lird had completely lost that energy, and although he did not want to see innocent people affected, he had no motivation to convince himself to think about others so much.
Qianrou's actions are understandable, but they also leave a knot in Liard's heart. At this time, Lird suddenly found sad that both Jim and Qianrou had a relationship with them, and after a long period of communication, they thought that they had formed a friendship, but they did not want this bond to be so fragile. Isn't it true that as Edward said, the hearts of those who are not of my race must be different?
Lird shook his head, finally putting the grumbling thoughts behind him, and then stood up and said to Edward, "I'm leaving, take care." ”
Edward looked at Lierde, at this time he was powerless to change the current situation, so he had to nod and said, "Young master, you have to take care more." ”
Lird nodded as well and left the tent again.
Although he had been thinking about it for most of the day, Lird's mind was still in a mess, and he had not yet made a clear decision.
Although Lird had been determined to die when he decided to stay and carry on his father's legacy, he shuddered when the moment really came. Lird didn't know how he would react to this if he were his peers, but he would definitely not be the most determined and death-conscious one. And what Lird has to face is not a void death, but a completely unknown dimensional space.
Because it is unknown, it is terrifying.
Eventually, Lird came to the tent, and at the door of the tent stood a man who looked at Jim.
Jim saw Lird as well and nodded softly at him.
Lird stepped forward, less than a day after his last meeting with Jim, but Lird felt that a long time had passed, and Jim in front of him had become stranger and stranger.
"It's coming. ”
"It's coming. ”
Jim foreword, Lird after. Although they all say the same thing, there are different contexts.
Lird looked around, but saw that it was cold and dark, and there was no noise in the air.
"Tonight, it was quiet. Lird said.
Jim nodded and said, "Because tonight is important." Lird raised an eyebrow when he heard this, but Jim Hugo didn't say anything more, just said calmly, "I'll send you in." ”
