"Don't want to fight, just hungry?"

Ning Yue glared at Zhili, who inadvertently said his name, and his heart was inexplicable for a while, and soon, his eyes softened a little, but the strength of the five fingers holding the hilt of the sword was slightly loosened.

Zhili nodded again and again and replied, "I don't want to fight with my brother either, but last time it was the master's order." It should be said that the master wanted me to kill someone that night and take something from him. Brother, you're stopping me, so I can't do otherwise. Otherwise, the master will abandon me, and Zhili will become a child that no one wants, hungry every day. ”

"Wait a while, how can you be hungry every day with your strength? Can you ask, what level of strength are you now?" Ning Yue was speechless for a while, the mysterious killer who showed an overwhelming advantage that night didn't expect it to be such a silly and cute girl.

"At what level?"

Zhili gently pressed her finger to Sakura's lips and thought for a while before giving an answer.

"It should ...... According to the master, this level is still very weak, and if I don't work hard, I won't even be able to fill my stomach at all. ”

"Then have you ever wondered how someone weaker than you fills their stomachs?"

Almost three black lines slipped from his forehead, Ning Yue had nothing to say, and put the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword into the sheath behind his back with his backhand. couldn't detect the slightest murderous aura of the other party at all, and looking at her current appearance, it was impossible to hide it, but she really didn't want to do it.

"I don't know...... Anyway, the master told me that if you want to have a full stomach, you have to do what he says. However, I tried hard many times, but I still couldn't eat. ”

Seeing Ning Yue put away his sword, Zhili sat down on the ground and sighed again and again.

Seeing this, Ning Yue asked tentatively: "The strength of the Spirit Awakening Realm Fivefold is indeed not very strong, but it is definitely not weak. Haven't you thought, for example, to snatch food or money from the weaker, or to take a pancake from me like you did just now?"

Zhili shook her head: "That's a bad thing, it's not a good boy." If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't help but be hungry, Zhili would never have done that. ”

"Wait a minute, your killing skills are so proficient, you don't even have the consciousness to do bad things, and you can't even rob?"

Suddenly, Ning Yue also felt that there was something wrong with his words. What is this, luring girls into sin?

Zhili continued to shake her head and replied, "Because the master said that I killed all bad people, it doesn't count as doing bad things." But it's definitely not okay to grab other people's things at will. ”

Ning Yue sighed again in his heart, from Zhili's narration, he vaguely thought of something, Chang Xuanxuan's guess at the beginning was stopped when he wanted to speak, and it was obviously inconvenient to reveal something too secret.

Well, he wanted to know that only he asked.

"Can you ask me again, when did you start working under your current master?"

"I remember for as long as I can remember, I lived in a cold room, and every day I had to do endless training, day after day, year after year, all kinds of instructors trained me in all kinds of combat skills, blades, fighting, stealth, camouflage, and so on. I have the impression that I have seen many children like me, who have no freedom and have been locked up in that stone city. However, those who perform well can get the opportunity to go out, and from time to time you can see many familiar faces smiling and leaving, never to return. And when he came back, there was no smile on his face anymore, more of a gloomy. ”

With her arms ringed, Zhili buried her little face in her arched knees, and there was a faint trace of sadness in her voice.

"Later, because I passed the test, I was qualified to go outside, and I left Stone City for the first time with this large number of 'companions'. Well, that's what I think in my heart, they're my companions. As a result, the instructors were trapped in a forest on the first night, with very little food and water for each person...... The requirement is to survive for three days and kill at least one person. My former companions, from that night onwards, were my enemies. ”

"Is it a pure killer training organization?"

Gasping, Ning Yue had heard of this kind of cannibalistic survival training, the trial of death. Those who can survive will be greatly changed in terms of actual combat experience and mentality...... Their hearts began to deviate from ordinary people.

Zhili smiled sadly: "Well, we are a killer's academy there. It may not be appropriate to call it an academy, at least that's what the instructors say. From the beginning, I was probably the only one who didn't know that other people treated me so coldly, but I wanted to be friends with them. And the jungle hunt that night began, I realized that the only person I could rely on was myself. Zhili really didn't want to see any of her 'companions' die at her own hands, but the food and water given was only enough for a day, and the jungle was full of poisons, so she couldn't find the rest. We are threatened not only by our 'companions', but also by the environment. ”

"Alright, don't say it. ”

Ning Yue shook his head, and for the rest, he didn't want to hear it anymore. Moreover, for Zhili, that kind of memory is probably very painful to recall.

"No, isn't it brother, do you want to know? Zhili told you everything. It was then that I realized that everything I had learned was for killing. Subconsciously guarded, and instinctively performed a counterattack trick to kill the opponent. At that time, Zhili only realized that it was so simple to take other people's lives. However, I was very reluctant to do that, and I really didn't want to see that kind of scene. Later, I passed the tests again and again, and the blood on my hands became more, but my heart was numb. Later, many, many strong people appeared, and Shicheng was breached by them, from instructors to students like me, too many people died in the resistance. It was also at that time that I met the master. ”

Speaking of this, Zhili slowly raised her head, and a faint trace of joy flashed in her gloomy eyes.

"The attackers advised us to give up resistance, but hiding behind the rubble, I saw that many of them were killed after surrendering. There are also some sisters who are older than Zhili, who were undressed and pressed to the ground by those strong people to do some strange things, screaming. In short, Zhili didn't dare to go out, so she hid in the ruins and curled up until a day and a night later, someone appeared to me. I really thought that I was going to die, and after going through so much, I thought I wouldn't be afraid of death, but I was actually scared. It's never been free, it can only end like that. However, the master was very gentle, took off his own light warm clothes and covered me, picked me up and left. I had a full stomach for the first time in the host's house, and the food was all delicious and had a warm room to myself......"

Raising his hand and rubbing his chin, Ning Yue was still thinking about it, and said, "But, that didn't last long, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhili nodded her little head vigorously, and sighed again: "On the third day, the master told me that that such treatment could not be given to me in vain. If you want a good place to live and have enough to eat, you have to work. I was different, so he spared me, and killed no one else who had caught me from Stone City. Moreover, I have to atone for my past sins and kill the real bad guys. As long as the quantity is sufficient, not only will I be given food and shelter, but I will also be exempted from my past sins and given me freedom. However, if you dare to disobey his orders, you will end up ......"

didn't say any more, Zhili's face was sad.

Shaking his head, Ning Yue also understood why Zhili's character was so ignorant of the world, growing up in such a closed environment, witnessing the scenes where even a mature person could not be at ease, and later being used by others but still thinking that he was saved, with a grateful heart to do the sin that did not change much.

"Haven't you thought about it? Your current master is actually no different from those people in Stone City at the beginning?"

"No, the master is different from them! The master only told Zhili to kill the bad guys, and even if she gave less, she still gave food, so she didn't have to starve all the time like before!"

Suddenly, Zhili bowed up, glared at Ning Yue and roared, looking hideous like an enraged little wild cat.

Goo –

A belly scream of hunger sounded, and suddenly, her little face changed, and she sat down again holding her stomach.

"Aren't you starving all the time?"

Ning Yue sighed, didn't argue too much, and handed out another pancake.

"It's only temporary, every time the task is completed, Zhili will get delicious food from the master. For example, the last time I met my brother, there was a big chicken leg that I had never eaten. It's much better than the pancakes my brother gave. ”

Speaking of this, Zhili still glanced at the pancake in Ning Yue's hand, and was a little hesitant to take it.

Seeing this, Ning Yue gently placed the pancake in front of her and retreated to the other side of the bonfire, not knowing where to start when she opened her mouth again.

With only food that even ordinary people don't have enough to eat, he can wantonly call a powerhouse with the fivefold strength of the Spirit Awakening Realm, and he is still a well-trained killer. The master behind Zhili is not easy to use people's hearts. And it is absolutely impossible for such a person to have only one subordinate of Zhili, and it will be a large number of outlaws who will only look forward to him.

Carefully picked up the pancake, Zhili held it in her hand, but she was reluctant to eat it.

"What's the matter, aren't you hungry?" Ning Yue was a little surprised.

Zhili shook her head and said, "Save it for tomorrow and eat it again." It's because I ate the dry food I brought a few days ago too quickly, so I've been hungry since yesterday. I know what I should save, but I can't help it. Today, that's pretty much enough. ”

"It's just not enough. Eat, I have more here. ”

Ning Yue handed out two more pancakes, although this is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, he can't buy food even if he has money. However, there are not a lot of natural foods in nature, and he boasts that his survival ability is not bad.

"Thank you, brother!"

With a cheer, Zhili was already holding the pancake and nibbling it, her eyes full of joy.

However, Ning Yue was stunned in place, looking at the girl with a happy face, but her heart was churning.

She didn't see her movements at all just now. If it is more accurate, it should not be until the pancake leaves his hand that he realizes that Zhili has come.

Moreover, it seems that Zhili did not use it deliberately, but she did it as she pleased, and she inadvertently displayed it.

The Spirit Awakening Realm is fivefold, and beneath the surface, her true strength must be even more terrifying, right?
