Chapter 12: A Sad Past
Drunken Immortal Building.
Blue Phoenix said, "You're back?"
Meng Ying and Liu Jiajia shook their heads, they knew that what Blue Phoenix was asking was not whether they had come back or not.
Blue Phoenix said, "What's wrong?"
Meng Ying said: "The mission has failed. ”
The corners of the blue phoenix's mouth were smiling, and there was no expression on her face, but her pupils were contracting.
Meng Ying and Liu Jiajia stood in front of her, their faces without fear.
It took a long time for the blue phoenix to speak, "You guys go and rest first." ”
Blue Phoenix returned to his room and drank a glass of ice water. Calm yourself down.
She sat in front of the mirror, the corners of her mouth raised, allowing herself to barely smile.
She remembered her old days, when she was ten years old when there was a famine in her hometown, and after so much time she couldn't remember what her parents looked like.
Meng Ying and Liu Jiajia, and of course Xu Xing and Sun Yang, were all picked up by her during that famine.
The current blue phoenix is a goddess-like existence in the eyes of many people, a sacrosanct existence, and no one knows that these delicate, delicate hands that don't even look like they have fried vegetables have ever dug a dung pit. Carried through the wood.
She has done as long as she can make money, and even when she was sixteen years old, a butcher bought her first time with five catties of pork. She still can't forget the butcher, his fat body pressed against hers, his mouth smelling unpleasant, kissing her face and lips.
She will never forget the pain and humiliation of that night.
Fifteen years later, she found the butcher, a sword pierced his chest, and when he died, his eyes were prominent, as if he couldn't believe that the little girl back then, who was pressed under his body, was now so big. It was as if she couldn't believe that this girl now had enough strength to kill him.
Later, she and the four children younger than her came to this desert, and on this desert where there was nothing but sand, they established their industry and established the Drunken Immortal Tower.
She walked out, found Meng Ying and Liu Jiajia again, and asked, "You guys are honest, is it difficult to kill the prince of the Nagad Empire?"
Meng Ying replied, "It's not difficult. ”
Blue Phoenix looked at them for a long time before asking, "Is that the forces around him difficult to deal with?"
Liu Jiajia said: "Yes." ”
Blue Phoenix said, "Don't you even have the slightest chance to kill him?"
Meng Ying said: "No. ”
Blue Phoenix's face was already cold, but his voice was still very calm and asked, "Why is that?"
Before Meng Ying could speak, Liu Jiajia said: "Because if he dies, we won't be able to live." ”
Meng Ying said: "We don't want to kill him. ”
As soon as Meng Ying's words fell, the blue phoenix's pupils were already contracting, if his eyes could also kill, Meng Ying would be dead by now.
The blue phoenix slapped Meng Ying in the face, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of Meng Ying's mouth. Blue Phoenix said: "A killer can't move emotions. ”
Blue Phoenix's voice was not loud when she said this, there was no anger in her voice, and there was no emotion in her voice.
Meng Ying was still standing there, standing straight upright, straight towards a javelin.
There was no expression on his face, and there was no resentment in his eyes, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Is he grieving for himself, or for the Blue Phoenix, or for all the people who are killers.
At this moment, Meng Ying found that he was no longer suitable to be a killer, because a killer should not have feelings.
And he now has feelings, whether it is happy or sad, it is feelings, as long as a person has feelings, he can't kill calmly.
A killer should kill like killing, a dog, a pig, and there should be no mercy when killing him.
Night.
The wind is blowing.
The wind was very strong tonight, and it was blowing continuously. After a while, it started to rain.
Listening to the sound of the rain, Meng Ying's mood seemed to be better.
It is rare to see rain in the desert, Meng Ying quietly felt his breathing, his heartbeat, and he kept asking himself, who is he and how do he live?
Maybe he used to be a good killer, because he didn't know anything but killing, knowing how to complete the Blue Phoenix's orders.
But he is no longer a qualified killer, because he has already begun to have feelings, he has begun to think about himself, he has begun to think about how he is going to live.
"What are you thinking?" said Liu Jiajia's voice behind him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Jiajia, Liu Jiajia was smiling at him, and the smile was very beautiful and sweet. Meng Ying couldn't believe that Liu Jiajia could also show such a sweet smile.
In his memory, Liu Jiajia gives people a feeling of not smiling.
Of course, she can laugh too, and she can smile very sweetly.
But Meng Ying knew that those smiles were all faked, and Meng Ying had never seen her real smile.
Although she pretended to be very similar, Meng Ying could still see that no matter how similar and sweet a person's fake smile was, there was still a difference between a smile from the heart.
But why does a person smirk, and why do humans smirk?
Is it because there are many things that are helpless, is it because there are many things, even if you are sad, even if you are angry, even if you want to cry, you can't be sad, you can't be angry, you can't cry.
So I had to laugh, and the smile was not from the heart, so I could only smirk.
Perhaps none of them can forget those painful, unbearable years. He will never forget the time when they were too hungry to steal a bun and were chased and beaten by a muscular man with a broom.
The damage caused to them during that time may not be completely healed for a lifetime.
But now her smile is real, beautiful, and heartfelt.
Meng Ying pondered for a while and said, "I don't want to be a killer anymore. ”
Liu Jiajia put away the smile on her face, and said with a hint of bitterness in her eyes: "If there is a choice, who is willing to do our profession, and who wants to live in the dark forever without a name." ”
Meng Ying walked back to the room and took out a jar of wine, uncorked the bottle and poured it directly into his mouth.
Then he handed the wine to Liu Jiajia and asked, "If you can go, will you go with me?" ”
Liu Jiajia also poured the wine directly into her mouth, without the elegance of a woman at all, she was even more bold than a man.
Liu Jiajia smiled again, and after drinking, Liu Jiajia smiled more cutely and charmingly. said, "I'll go with you." ”
At this moment she knew, she finally knew, she couldn't be a killer anymore, because she already had feelings, with love, she was no longer an emotionless, indifferent killing machine.
The rain stopped after only a few moments, and the sun appeared high in the sky again.
Maybe there are many things in the world like this, and all suffering is temporary, like rain, but no matter how heavy the rain is, there will always be a time to stop.
The sun will always rise again, the sun will shine on the earth again, and the warm sun will shine gently on everyone's body, no matter how many times it has passed, no matter how many teenagers it is.
Meng Ying returned to his room, and there was a piece of paper on the table in the room, and a sentence was written on the paper-
I'll help you with what you haven't done.
In just sixteen words, Meng Ying panicked after seeing it, this is Xu Xing's note.
