9. Chapter IX
Silence, confrontation, dead silence. Mo Chaoyun felt the cold sweat slipping silently down her forehead, and they quietly slid down the corners of her eyebrows, and finally slipped into her collar.
"Who are you?" Mo Chaoyun couldn't help the trembling of her voice, because she could feel a strong killing intent, very, very strong.
"You don't need to know, you're going to die soon anyway, and since you're going to die, it doesn't matter if you know it or not." She replied in a crisp voice, with a rightful innocence. How can there be such a person, when killing a person he doesn't know, he won't panic and feel guilty at all.
Completely defenseless, completely unable to get out. There is no need to look back, Mo Chaoyun also knows that this is a fatal blow. It looks like a dagger that can't help but be weak, but it calculates the best angle and time, and calculates all the qiē just right...... Is it an assassin?
"Don't worry, my dagger is very sharp, you will feel very cold when it pierces the skin, and it will not hurt at all." The dagger was handed forward again, cutting through Mo Chaoyun's clothes and clinging to her flesh and skin. I should have seen blood, but it really didn't hurt at all.
"I advise you not to touch her." Suddenly, another gloomy voice rang out abruptly, right behind the two men in the confrontation.
This time, the first to speak was the female assassin who had successfully attacked her, and she said angrily: "Mo Xun, what does this matter to you!" ”
The female assassin was annoyed, but her voice was not loud, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth and helplessness. At her neck, there was a Qiushui sword quietly horizontal at this moment, the sword body was transparent and bright, but the hand holding the sword was very delicate and white, and there was a faint hint of fragrance.
"You've already killed two, stay with this one." The female swordsman known as Mo Xun continued gloomily: "Although your assassination skills are good, it is obviously not very well-informed. The seeds are forbidden to fight in private, let alone kill each other, understand? If you kill her, you will die too. ”
The female assassin obviously didn't believe it, she sneered: "I've killed two of them, and the punishment has already been there, don't you think it's stupid to lie to me now?" Besides, you're going to worry about my life or death, joke. ”
"Your life or death has nothing to do with me, I don't want to care at all, but unfortunately, I was unlucky and shared a room with you, so your life and death have something to do with me." Mo Xun's voice was inherently gloomy, "Put down the dagger, my patience is limited." ”
"Didn't you say you didn't want me to die? And now kill me again, hypocritical woman. ”
Mo Xun paused for a moment, his voice revealing disdain, "I won't kill you, but I can abolish your hand, so that you will never be able to use a dagger again." ”
The female assassin said hatefully, "If you are nosy, you will regret it in the future." Say I'm ill-informed, and you're no better. Don't you know who she is, she is that Mo Chaoyun. Keep her and you'll regret it in the future. ”
"We are all surnamed Mo, and today I will protect her." Mo Xun was unmoved, and his hand holding the sword was as steady as a stone.
Mo Chaoyun felt that the dagger was finally quietly retracted, and the murderous aura disappeared along with it. She turned slowly, and saw the female assassin's face already flashing to the side, and the woman standing three or four paces behind her, unsheathed her sword.
The woman was dressed in purple and had a beautiful appearance, but with a gloomy color between her eyebrows, she looked gloomy. Seeing Mo Chaoyun looking at her, she said, "My name is Mo Xun, she is Ye Zhu, and there are only three of us living in this room now." ”
Mo Chaoyun took a closer look at Ye Zhu, who was just about to take her life, and then felt that he was really unseemly. This Ye Zhu is by no means a good type, but he has an extremely kind and innocent face, and he is sulking at the moment, which makes people feel very cute. On the other hand, Mo Xun, although she just saved her, because of her gloomy temperament, she will leave a bad impression on the first side. If it hadn't been for the one just now, Mo Chaoyun thought she would have felt the same way.
Mo Chaoyun smiled gratefully at Mo Xun before asking Xiang Yezhu, "We don't know each other, why did you want to kill me?" ”
Ye Zhu snorted: "You are Mo Chaoyun, if you don't kill you, you will definitely become a stumbling block for us to live." People don't kill for themselves, you know? I'm not wrong. ”
Mo Xun said: "Don't pay attention to her, she is worrying about the sky." ”
Mo Chaoyun was even more puzzled: "Why do I hinder you when I live?" ”
"Who doesn't know that you are the war servant of Lord Chiba, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you will not die, but what about us? The chance of life is so slim, if I can eradicate one as soon as possible, I have a better chance of winning, not to mention that it is a matter of life and death, why should I be a poor bad person? ”
Mo Chaoyun finally understood the cause and effect, and only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. She sighed, found the round stool in front of her and sat down, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I almost died unjustly, so miserable." If I were really a war servant of Chiba, would I still come here? To tell you the truth, I have already rejected Chiba, and he will not accept me as a war servant, now can we turn the war into a jade silk? ”
Ye Zhu was stunned, and then disdainful: "Are you a fool?" Or when I'm a fool? Who would believe such a good thing and refuse it? ”
Mo Xun shook his hand: "I believe what she said." ”
Ye Zhu said angrily: "Mo Xun, I think I think highly of you." I thought you had the ability to live a long time, and you should be a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool! She snorted, pushed the door open, and slammed it away.
Mo Chaoyun was helpless, but listened to Mo Xun: "You don't have to blame her, she is just anxious." It's the end of the month again, it's that day again, and she's actually just...... I'm just scared. ”
Mo Chaoyun owed Mo Xun for saving her life, and she was naturally close to her in her heart, she pulled the round stool closer and came to Mo Xun's side, "What day?" ”
Mo Xun said: "It seems that you don't know anything, okay, while Ye Zhu is away, I will tell you about this Inhuman Pavilion." ”
From Mo Xun's mouth, Mo Chaoyun knew that at the end of every month, there would be a competition in the nineteenth courtyard, and the test objects were random, but the people in this courtyard could not escape from the left and right. The winners remain in the 19th House and wait for the next month's competition, while the losers disappear forever.
"What does it mean to disappear forever?" Mo Chaoyun actually understood it in her heart, but she was so shocked that she wanted to verify with Mo Xun.
"To disappear from now on is to me death." The gloomy look on Mo Xun's face was even heavier, "Before you came, there were originally four people living in this house, except for me and Ye Zhu, there were two others, but they were all dead. ”
Mo Chaoyun suddenly said, "Could it be that the two people you just said Ye Zhu killed are them?" ”
Mo Xun nodded first, and then shook his head: "People can be said to have been killed by Ye Zhu, or they can be said to be not." The woman who had a good relationship with Ye Zhu before was seriously injured in the previous month-end competition, which was already described as death, and she was in great pain, so she begged Ye Zhu to kill her to help her get free. The woman's legs were broken, and I felt miserable, so I didn't stop it. ”
Mo Chaoyun was a little gloomy when he heard this: "What about the other one?" ”
"The other one was also injured after winning the competition, she was indeed killed by Ye Zhu." Mo Xun sighed: "I know what Ye Zhu is for, it is really a good opportunity to get rid of an opponent who may threaten him in the future so effortlessly, especially an opponent whose strength is above him, even if the courtyard master investigates it, just say that she is seriously injured and died, she can easily get out." ”
Mo Chaoyun stayed where he was for a long time. After a long time, she asked, "How long have you lived together?" ”
"It's been five months."
Can a person who has been with each other for five months casually kill him for such a reason? Mo Chaoyun shook his head in disbelief: "It's terrible, this Ye Zhu, you have to be careful of her in the future." ”
Mo Xun said: "Five months, five months in these nineteen courtyards is enough to change a person." When Ye Zhu first came, she had good thoughts like you, and the woman with a broken leg who was killed by her was bullied, or did she take the initiative to stand up for her...... It's just that the competition at the end of the month is too cruel, maybe those good thoughts and consciences can only become insignificant in the end in the face of life and death. ”
Mo Chaoyun shook his head: "In order to live for yourself, you have to kill others, I can't do this kind of thing!" ”
Mo Xun looked at her, and the gloomy color between his eyebrows became even thicker: "You just haven't experienced it yet...... This place, this Nineteen Courtyards, this Inhuman Pavilion, no, this entire Demon Cave, is such a place. ”
Mo Chaoyun subconsciously asked, "What kind of place?" ”
"A place where you step on someone else's bones and try your best to live." Mo Xun said gloomily.
When it was almost time to hold the lamp, Mo Xun took Mo Chaoyun to dinner.
"If you go later, you'll be able to avoid those who are in trouble." Mo Xun led the way in front of him: "If you want to come to your business, Ye Zhu must have told the people in the other rooms, they must want to see you, no, mainly to see how strong you are." ”
"Maybe Chiba's war servant is really a sweet tooth."
Mo Chaoyun was joking, but Mo Xun nodded: "Don't be funny, you did give up a good opportunity that others couldn't ask for, if they knew that you had given up, I am afraid they would hate you even more." ”
Mo Chaoyun thought, she gave up these people to hate her, she would hate her even more if she didn't give up these people, in short, hating her was hating, and the future would be difficult, so be careful.
Stepping into the dining hall, Mo Xun and Mo Chaoyun were stunned. Mo Xun lowered his voice and said: "The miscalculation is wrong, they didn't even leave, usually at this hour, there should be no one here." ”
There were a lot of people sitting in the dining hall, Mo Chaoyun roughly swept it, there were about thirty or forty people, including men and women, and people who wanted to come to the courtyard on the right also came.
"She is Mo Chaoyun." When this voice came, Mo Chaoyun happened to look over. Acquaintance, it's Ye Zhu. There is no need to guess how many words Ye Zhu said, at this moment, Mo Chaoyun only felt that the many eyes looking at her were very similar to a group of wolves encountered in the wilderness and open space, those faint eyes flashed with ghostly treacherous and undercurrent, no one spoke, but it made Mo Chaoyun feel that it was difficult to breathe all of a sudden.
