Chapter 4: "You Can Call Me Leto"
When I opened my eyes, the sunlight burned my fragile pupils like fire, and I could only endure the pain and wrinkle my face and rub my eyes in dizziness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Waking up from a coma feels the same as poking your face out of the water." Wang Xiaobo, who was still confused, subconsciously opened his mouth and muttered a few words.
"Boy, you're awake." The magnetic voice made Wang Xiaobo wake up all of a sudden. He tried to turn his face in the direction of the source of the sound, but found that his body was still lying on the ground, but his head was resting on something soft. Wang Xiaobo turned around hard, trying to raise his head and look up,
In front of Wang Xiaobo's eyes, a huge cat face appeared in the upside-down vision.
"Ahh Wang Xiaobo screamed and quickly got up.
"It's really sad~" The cat scratched its head with its huge claws, and then turned its gaze to the silver-haired girl at the entrance of the alley.
Looking at Wang Xiaobo's sobriety and the gesture of her companion, the girl took a deep breath and walked here.
"That. Belch...... I'm really sorry to trouble you to take care of me here in the end. Wang Xiaobo came back to his senses and expressed his apologies to the girl, perhaps because he hadn't talked to the girl for a long time, and he felt that his tongue was disobedient.
"Don't get me wrong, I just stayed because I wanted to ask you. If it weren't for that, I would have left a long time ago. That's it, don't overthink it. The girl emphasized again and again, using a strong tone to strengthen the words that had been emphasized.
This sentence is not convincing to Wang Xiaobo, but that sentence has the coercive force that makes him ignore the content and can only nod. Is this tsundere?
"I'll heal your wounds and put you on Tom's lap until I'm sober, just to serve my purpose, so you'll have to give me enough value in return!" The girl emphasized her purpose again, but no matter how it sounded, it seemed to be hiding her rotten good nature.
"Actually, you don't have to say that, wouldn't it be nice to use it in the usual way?" Wang Xiaobo responded to the girl's words with a wry smile.
Faced with Wang Xiaobo's answer, the girl shook her head and rejected him.
"No, that's my request. I guess you know the whereabouts of my stolen envelope, right? The girl unconsciously lowered her voice.
Because he remembered the tragic events before the coma too deeply, Wang Xiaobo immediately remembered the dark red ponytail girl.
"She did this before, it turned out that she was stealing something to avoid the original owner, so don't blame me." Wang Xiaobo gritted his teeth, and carefully told the girl about the appearance of the dark red ponytail in the spirit of revenge.
In that case, then we owe each other nothing. You've used your intelligence to negate my reward for saving you. The girl tried to answer Wang Xiaobo in a cold tone, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed the girl's true thoughts. Throwing down Wang Xiaobo, who was still sitting on the ground, he turned his head to the cat standing next to him.
"Well, we'll go first in a hurry. Your injuries should be largely healed, and because I've been harshly educated, those people shouldn't come to you again. But it's dangerous to go into this kind of alley where there are no people. Don't look at me with such strange eyes, I'm not worried about you, this is advice, next time even if you are in this situation, even if I see you again, don't expect me to save you, it's true! ”
The girl kept talking endlessly, and the startled Wang Xiaobo didn't dare to interrupt her. The girl took Wang Xiaobo's silence as recognition, and nodded with satisfaction: "Goodbye!" Then he turned around.
The long pale blue hair swayed with the girl's movements, flashing fantasy colors in the sun.
"I'm sorry, my child is just not honest, don't think she's weird." Adding with a smile, the cat followed the girl and disappeared.
The girl didn't even look at Wang Xiaobo, and took a straight step. Looking at her back, Xiaobo thought back to the cat's last words, thinking about the intention behind the girl's previous actions.
Something was stolen, but he was still willing to help him despite being anxious. Treating him in a coma, he even said his last words so that he would not feel guilty, even in a clumsy way. That's not a dishonest level, but blindly suffering losses and knowing the scars all over your body. The girl could have scolded Wang Xiaobo who was in the way, but she didn't complain even a word, nor did she ask Wang Xiaobo for an apology or thanks.
"He's a good guy." Wang Xiaobo stood up as he spoke, patting his casual clothes stained with dust and mud. The stains on the casual clothes can't be patted off, but there is almost no pain on the body, and it is clear that he has been beaten badly before. This made him feel the magic beyond common sense once again.
"Hey~ Wait a minute!" Wang Xiaobo stood at the mouth of the alley, facing the back of the road and didn't know where to go.
"What? Let me first state that I am in a hurry right now, so I can only spend a little more time with you. The girl with her light blue hair looked back with a confused expression.
"Looks like you're looking for something valuable? Then let me help too. ”
After saying what he wanted to say, the atmosphere became awkward because of his speech. This silent waiting was even more uncomfortable than the feeling of being beaten before. Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
"You're such a strange person." The girl tilted her head sideways and looked at Wang Xiaobo with a scrutinizing eye, "Declare in advance, I don't have anything that can be used as a thank you gift." As you can see, I'm penniless. ”
"Don't worry, I'm also a penniless pauper. Besides, I don't need any thanks, just think I want to thank you. "It's a good feeling to break the silence.
"I don't need your thanks, the previous information has already negated the previous reward for treating you." The girl refused to back down at all.
Faced with the girl's stubborn attitude, Wang Xiaobo smiled wryly, then I will learn from you too. "Then I'm helping you for myself, my purpose is ...... Belch...... You should be considered a good person every day. Yes, do a good deed every day! ”
Wang Xiaobo's determined expression made the girl fall into thought.
"I don't feel any malice, in that case, let him help you! After all, I can't help all the time. The cat expressed its opinion.
After listening to what the cat said, the girl was still troubled. But the scales of her inner choice began to shake, and from time to time she uttered all sorts of distressed words, such as "Ah-", "This won't work-", "But if that's the case-".
"There's really no way I can thank you." In the end, she said this and reluctantly accepted Wang Xiaobo's help.
Two hours after the conversation, they unwittingly moved back into the alley where they met. We spent two hours together, but the cold atmosphere was there. Of course, the most important thing is that the search is rightfully stagnant.
In the girl's cold fairy, Wang Xiaobo tried to obscure this unbearable embarrassment. "I didn't expect it to be so difficult, even with my shrewd eyes, I wouldn't be able to detect it......"
"I didn't expect your self-esteem to be so high, and in the end, you brought it back to the starting point." The girl glared at Wang Xiaobo fiercely, and Wang Xiaobo, who felt the sight, shrank his body even smaller, which made Wang Xiaobo feel a kind help.
In fact, there is a reason why there is no result.
First of all, because Wang Xiaobo is an "outsider", he doesn't know anything about this place. He thought that the girl would know the next route, but he wasted ten minutes in vain.
Secondly, it is the text of this world, most of which Wang Xiaobo can't understand. Language can communicate, so Wang Xiaobo subconsciously ignores the difference in words. But if you look closely, you will see that there are hieroglyphs that look like handwriting everywhere. He often couldn't understand the most critical parts of these words.
"Well, since you know magic, will you use magic that can find people?" Wang Xiaobo couldn't stand this cold atmosphere the most, so he found a topic and talked shamelessly.
"Huh! Hey, why didn't you remind me sooner! The girl puffed out her mouth and tried to pretend to be angry. Finally, let me tell you again, this is a spell, not some strange thing like magic! ”
"Okay, okay, I got it. I have one more question here! Can you please tell me your name? She had deliberately reduced her interest in her name as she spoke, but the girl's eyes still seemed to widen in surprise. Then she closed her eyes and said her name after a few seconds of silence
"You can call me Leto."
