readx; "・・・・・・" Maki looked up at Zoro, and there was not much expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Yao was worried that he would be cold.
"That's right, it's me." Zhenmu unexpectedly put down the book in his hand. He looked up at Zorro. "What happened last night was just a gesture, you don't have to worry about it."
Su Yao was relieved to see Maki take the initiative to speak, no matter what, he said hello, and he didn't feel very repulsed by Zoro's appearance, it seemed that they would be able to get along well if they were together in the future.
Su Yao and Zorro each found a seat and sat down.
"Wait a minute." Zorro had just sat down and seemed to remember something, so he got up again and walked towards the door. Su Yao looked at him for some reason, found that he was looking at the door, and finally found a switch on the wall on the side. Su Yao saw that he reached out and pressed the button directly. With a shake, the door closed shut. People on the outside can't walk in and can't see what's inside.
It turns out that it can be like this!! Su Yao and Hua Hong looked at each other, and sure enough, because they were not familiar with the facilities here, they had already closed the door when they knew it, and it looked like it was safer I don't know how many times.
"There's a door here, huh?" Bonus watched Zorro walk back and muttered to herself.
"In this way, people from the outside can't come in, this is an internal organ, I asked from the old professor before, and not many people know now, where is the woman you are talking about now??" Zorro looked around, but didn't find the mechanism arranged by Su Yao and Maki.
"Here." Is the interrogation going to start so soon?? Su Yao was a little surprised in his heart, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with looking at Zorro's appearance like this. I don't know why he is so anxious. Su Yao didn't want to ask anything, so he could only take him to the front of the mechanism he had arranged over there.
"Between these two layers of bookshelves, you can see it when you go to the innermost." Su Yao took Zorro to the front of the shelf, and pointed out the person and chair inside to him, "You can go and ask first, I still have something I want to talk to me about with the bonus." ”
"What's the matter??" Hua Hong looked at Su Yao strangely, Zorro had already gone in without saying a word, and now there were only the three of them left, and I didn't know what else Su Yao wanted to ask him.
"It's better to explain to me about the attack you were attacked just now." If the group wants to know if the group that attacked the bonus is Lean's men, it is best to ask now.
"Oh, got it." Bonus nodded, thinking something. The two of them went back to the table by the window, and they could even hear Zorro questioning inside.
"Bonus, tell me in detail about what just happened outside." Su Yao looked out the window, it was still dark clouds, and with the darkened sky, it looked dark now. This situation is really in line with the current situation in the city.
"Since you want to know, I'll just say it, in fact, I didn't see it clearly, you just left not long ago, I was about to interrogate the woman, but I didn't expect the window over there to be suddenly broken by something, and before I could see the outside clearly, I felt something pass through my body, and then I didn't know anything... I looked like I had drunk a lot of alcohol. Hua Hong kept covering her head as she said this, as if she was thinking about something very painful.
Su Yao knew that this was all Hua Hong knew, and he really didn't want him to feel too sad when he saw the painful look on his face, so he immediately told him to stop.
Hua Hong saw Su Yao burying her head to the side, as if she was thinking about what she said, is there anything wrong with this matter? He saw that Su Yao was distracted, and he didn't ask him anything. Just sit silently on the side.
Maki didn't intend to join them in the discussion in the first place, holding his head and burying his head in the book, not knowing what he could see on it.
According to Bonus's description, if those people came to save the female secretary, they would have had time to take her away, but during the time when Bonus fainted, these people didn't do anything, and they didn't even come in to kill them all, as if they were just coming over to do something excessive, not so much to do it as a real thing, but to come and give them a warning.
"Maki, is there someone who has a feud with you? Came to your place to do these things? Su Yao turned his head sideways to look at Maki, and the other party didn't even move his brows.
"Impossible."
“。。。” One sentence was impossible to block all the doubts in Su Yao's heart, Maki just likes to answer questions so coldly, and in the end, he still didn't figure out who his enemy was.
"But when I went back to the town hall just now, I found what you've been looking for." Su Yao saw that he was not very interested, so it was better to take the initiative to attract his attention.
"Oh?" Maki looked back at Su Yao this time, "Where is it?" ”
"Just the boy who stopped us when we went out, I only know that he has at least two abilities in him, and it seems that Leaning seems to have given him everything, I don't know if it's for him to take care of him or what."
"Wouldn't it be better for you to ask Zorro about the ability to lean on the seat?" After all, they are also comrades-in-arms who have been together for two or three years, and no one will know this matter better than Zorro.
"Yes." This matter is very strange, Su Yao doesn't want to jump to conclusions now, and he can't figure out a little bit about the young man he met in the forest before after knowing the ability of Leaning Seat, he seems to be carrying more fragments of God on his body. He couldn't find a clue at all until he understood what was going on between Su and them.
It was getting dark, and Zorro gradually asked some things he wanted to know, the woman's mouth was really hard at first, and it took him a lot of effort to pry it open, but even so, what she said was secretive, and many things were speculated by himself.
Su Yao listened to the intermittent sound of talking inside, and finally found that it was quiet inside.
When Su Yao and the others entered, they found that the woman had already bitten her tongue and committed suicide.
"Hard bones." Zorro's evaluation was simple and intuitive, looking at the corpse that was not yet cold, he turned around and made a wave to Su Yao. "Come and see this thing."
"What??" Only then did Su Yao see that a badge like a fingernail appeared on his hand, with a very strange pattern engraved on it.
"What is this?" I don't know if Zorro searched this person out.
"She said that there seems to be another tantra outside, which seems to have something to do with the previous church, and this is the coat of arms of that tantra, which I turned out from the dark layer of her cuffs." Zorro handed the thing to Su Yao as he spoke, "They seem to have arrested me to show their determination to break away from the current organization, and they are really embarrassed." ”
"Coat of arms?" Su Yao picked up that thing strangely and looked at it, it didn't seem to be anything special, wasn't it just a mark, why was it hidden so secretly?
"It seems that this coat of arms has other functions, so it's better for us to keep it first, and let's keep it for her for a while for the sake of seeing that she is such a precious thing." Zorro said that he took the coat of arms, took out his lighter again, opened the lid, the size was just right, and there was a dark layer inside, and he carefully placed the coat of arms in the lighter.
"Don't make any public announcements about this matter, it seems that the distribution of power in this world is much more complicated than we imagined." Zorro said something to Su Yao, and Su Yao nodded and said that he would not say it to people outside.
The two of them walked out of this small space after communicating.
"It's not safe to stay here at night, so let's go out and find a place." Zorro said and looked at the other two, "I know a place, I wonder if you're interested in coming along?" ”
His eyes looked straight at Maki, Hua Hong and Su Yao were sure to follow him, as for this person, to be honest, he didn't feel very good when he heard Su Yao mention it before, but now he doesn't feel uncomfortable when he sees it, he originally thought that he wouldn't talk much and at least look like a gloomy and dull guy, but now it seems that it's just a bit of a personality problem, and the whole person doesn't look like a bad person.
"Hmm." Maki didn't have a place to go, so he nodded and closed the book in his hand and stood up.
"Let's go, then." Zorro led the way, several people followed him firmly, the library was closed now, there was almost no one inside, from the stairs to the hall below, it was so empty that there was hardly anyone there, but the lights were still on everywhere, which did not look terrible.
Several people went out of the hall and followed Zorro in an unfamiliar direction. I don't know what he meant by that place.
The rain outside has stopped by now, but the moonlight is still not visible, but fortunately there are still some street lamps on the street.
"Come here." Zorro walked halfway and suddenly dodged into the side alley, which made the people behind him also nervous, not knowing what was happening in front of him.
"What's wrong??" Su Yao stretched out his head to take a look. I saw a group of uniformed men walking quickly towards the other side of the street.
"Is this a patrolman?" Su Yao asked in a low voice.
Zorro just nodded and didn't speak, waiting for the people to leave before leading the people behind him out of the alley.
Su Yao saw that Zoro didn't want to say more, but he didn't ask more, so he could only follow him honestly.
A few people walked all the way and met several teams of people, all of them seemed to be patrolling, Su Yao didn't know before, when did the guards here become so tight? ?
But it's better to avoid it anyway, and now there are basically no people on the road, and it seems that the people who live here also know, and they may have been hiding at home for a long time.
Zoro managed to get them to the front of a house.
"This is it??" Su Yao saw that Zorro stopped in front of this house, and couldn't help but take a look, seeing that this house was small and exquisite, with white walls and red tiles, a total of four floors, and a small garden in front, and there was a fence outside the garden.
"Looks good." Hua Hong answered on the side and said Su Yao's heart, but she didn't know what kind of place this was.
"Let's go inside." Zorro said a word, and began to climb the steel bars of this iron door, and suddenly turned into the iron door under the surprised eyes of Su Yao and Hua Hong.
"You... Was it a forced break-in? Su Yao looked at Zorro inside in surprise, but the other party didn't care at all, and patted the rain on his body.
"Don't be abrasive, hurry up and let me in." Zorro shouted inside. He lifted his feet first and walked towards the side of the house.
Su Yao saw that Zoro didn't plan to wait for them, so he had to start following them.
"Flower red real wood to follow." Before leaving, I didn't forget to remind the two people behind me.
By the time the three men in the back had entered, Zorro had already walked to the front of the room, raised his hand and pressed the doorbell above.
When Su Yao walked to the door, he could see that the lights were still on inside, but no one answered the door.
"What's the matter, isn't there anyone in there?" Su Yao saw that the room was quiet, and began to be a little confused.
"No, that old bone doesn't know what he's doing." As he spoke, Zorro lifted his foot and kicked it hard.
Su Yao stood aside, and he didn't expect Zorro to raise his foot and kick the door so directly.
"Bump!! Bang dang! The moment the door opened, Su Yao finally saw the scene inside the house.
"Go in first." Zorro stuffed the group into the room in one go, and turned to close the door himself.
As soon as Su Yao walked inside the door, he saw an old man standing on the floor angrily looking at the four uninvited guests at the door. That old man was none other than the old professor whom Zorro had asked him to look for in the library, and he didn't expect him to bring them here at night.
"Hehe, old professor, take us here for a night at night," Zorro looked at the old man with a smile, and the expression on his face became docile, Su Yao really hadn't seen him like this, and it could be seen that he still had a lot of respect for this old professor.
"You bastard, at this time I only knew that I came to the old man, and the old man said don't kick the door for me anymore, if the kick is broken, who will fix it for me??" The old professor looked very angry, and stood to the side looking at Zorro angrily. Zorro just stood aside with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, you open the door so slowly every time you sleep, I thought you died inside." Zorro continued to speak without saying anything, "You see that now that we are all in, there are still so many people looking for us outside, I think it is better to stay here." ”
The old man stood aside angrily and saw Zorro start to take off his shoes by himself, and then came in with a familiar car, and Su Yao and the others had no choice but to take off their shoes and come in.
When I walked inside, I felt that it was like a living room, but there was no ornate furniture, just a few sofas and some potted plants, which looked very elegant, and it was worth noting that there were four or five large bookshelves in the hall, and there were neat books on them, which looked like a lot, and there were a lot of books scattered on the ground, and it seemed that the old professor had been sitting on the ground reading books before they came.
"You don't have to say it, I know what you've done." Zorro sat down on the sofa, and the old professor brought a pot of boiling water on the side, and put four cups on the coffee table for each of them to get water, and as he spoke, he took out a few pots of snacks from the cabinet next to him, and it seemed that he knew that these people had not eaten.
Su Yao was so hungry that he had barely eaten since the morning, so he immediately took a piece of dim sum and ate it, it tasted really good, it seemed that this old professor was completely a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
Seeing the four of them sit down on the couch, he walked to the side on crutches and sat down again to study the book he had just finished reading.
"Old Professor??" Zorro hurriedly ate a little food, immediately stood up and walked to the side, and tentatively looked at the old man sitting on the ground. "You said you just knew, what did you know??"
It took a long time for the old man to look up from the book in his hand and look at Zorro behind him.
"I said you kid, don't you know what trouble you've caused??"
"I really don't know about that, that's why I'm here to ask you!" Zorro was worried that he would bury his head back again, and as soon as he reached out and took the book in his hand, "You'd better tell me, I don't know anything now, it seems that a lot of things have happened here during my absence, old professor, you must tell me everything you know." ”
The old professor really has no temper with Zorro, this gangster has always been unscrupulous in front of him, and even if he reasoned with him, he was playing the piano to the cow, and there was no time at all to make sense.
And what's even more terrifying is that he really has no way to do anything about his character.,Every time I can't bear it anymore and then tell him what I want to say.,But this guy doesn't know what it's called insatiable.,Ask a little thing and keep wanting to know more.。
"Leaning on the seat says he's moved the entire town hall now, do you know something??" Zorro's first question was thrown straight over.
"Moved out?" So what he and Maki saw today were all fakes?? Su Yao and Maki exchanged glances with each other on the side, but they didn't expect that Leaning on the seat would come to this hand.
"Moved away? I didn't expect him to take the initiative to tell you about it, I've heard some rumors before, and your relationship with Yiza is not very good now, right? ? The professor was not in a hurry, he was still slow to speak, Su Yao saw his speed of speech again, and he was really a little irritated when he listened to it, and he really wanted to open his brain to see what was in it, just take it all out at once, and it would really be crazy to listen to him on the side.
"Teacher, you speak to me quickly, or I'm not sure I'll burn your loss," it seemed that Zorro was also on fire, and suddenly stepped aside, took out his own lighter, and approached the bookshelf and pretended to burn the books on it.
The old man was so angry that Zorro trembled, this bastard is like this every time he comes, and sooner or later he will be pissed off by him to death. It's really hungry and cheap, and he knows that his favorite is these books here, and he never tires of threatening himself with these things every time. Sooner or later, he'll have to move everything here.
"The old man speaks so slowly, don't you know that you respect the old and love the young??" The old professor yelled at Zorro angrily, "I'm really going to be angry with the old man!" You! ”
"Isn't it much faster to talk like this??" Only then did Zorro put away the lighter in his hand, and looked at the old professor on the side with a smile, this old man has a lot of truth. Every time I listen to him, I call him very hot.
"Is Zorro-kun a little too much?" Hua Hong sat on the side in a cold sweat, leaned over and said to Su Yao, looking at the old professor's appearance, he seemed to be very angry, but a handful of old bones must have no choice but to blow his nose and stare at the side.
But it's a lot of fun.
Su Yao nodded, drank a few sips of water with a smile, sat on the side and watched the two of them continue.
"Where did you move??" Zorro continued to ask unhurriedly.
"The old man has only heard," the old professor spoke really quickly, "it seems to be Hanoi, I don't know the specifics." ”
"Hanoi? It looks like he's really going to empty the regime. Zorro frowned, thoughtful. By the way, today I saw a kid next to him, and he looked very arrogant, you just don't know who it is? Zorro continued.
Is there anything wrong with that kid? Su Yao was also very interested, and kept stretching his neck to look over there.
"That yellow-haired imp??" It seems that the old professor also knows, he also looked up at Zorro when he heard Zorro ask about this person, and touched his chin, "It seems that I arrived here half a month ago, I don't know why I suddenly gained the trust of Leaning on the seat, and I have always stayed by his side as an escort, but I don't know the origin of that kid very well, I see that he seems to exude an ominous feeling." You'd better get closer to him less. The second half of what the old man said made Su Yao care a lot.
What does it feel ominous?
"I've heard them say that you told them something about prophecy and the like, but I want to hear from you in person, preferably in detail, about the recent trend of the relationship between the two parties, do you feel anything is wrong?"
"Where are the two sides going?" The old professor seemed to be a little confused, "You must be mistaken, and say this, sometimes the old things are easily replaced by the new, and the levers on both sides are often a fulcrum." ”
"Fulcrum? What fulcrum? Zorro still heard the metaphorical statement of the old professor, and it really made him very big. What else is new and old, if you look at the meaning in his words, the old thing refers to the revolutionary party and the military department, so what does the new thing refer to?
"What do you mean? Is it not the contradictions between these two sides that are causing the war, but some other organization that has replaced it? Su Yao quickly understood the meaning of the old professor's words, and kept interjecting on the side, "That new organization is..."
The old professor seemed to know something, but he didn't seem to have any intention of telling them a few yet.
"You know that, right? That so-called third party? ”
"Hehe, you're smarter, that's right, that's what I mean. And now the situation on this continent is changing. Many new generations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and no one knows which organization will become the next generation of revolutionary parties, right? And now you feel it yourself, the interior is also very unstable now, and it will collapse one day. I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible. This person has been thinking very wrong lately, and it will take some time for you to deal with him. I advise you not to spend too much time on this. "The old professor said in more detail this time.
"Wait." Zorro waved his hand, motioning for him not to speak yet. "What do you mean ... Tell me to get out of here? Looks like you know I have other things to do. You don't know something, do you? ”
"Of course." The old professor smiled proudly, "Do you kid think you can hide it from me?" ”
。。。。。。 Su Yao looked at him speechlessly, this guy looked like an old naughty boy now.
"You really don't know anything about the things in the Dark Forest?" Zorro then asked Su Yao what he wanted to know.
"Dark Forest? I really don't know what happened over there, but you seem to be very concerned about that side, so I can only tell you one thing, the people who come out of it don't seem to be good, so it's better to be careful. The old professor said something meaningful, and suddenly grabbed the crutch on his side, "After delaying the old man for so long, are you still embarrassed to continue asking?" He slowly stood up and walked past Zorro, apparently going to sleep. Then sleep under this at night, and leave me early tomorrow morning, and if I am found out by Lean, the old man will not be able to escape the blame. As he spoke, he walked towards the stairs on the other side of the couch, and as he reached to the side of the real wood, he suddenly paused, reached out and grabbed something from his shoulder, put it between his fingers, and rubbed it vigorously.
"What's wrong?" Su Yao looked at the old professor very strangely.
"It's nothing, it's just that a spider fell on his shoulder." The old professor said as he picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his hands. "I didn't expect my house to be so clean, and there would be spiders mixed in. It's time for a big cleaning. ”
"Who told you to be so lazy, you only know how to read and read all day long, and it's normal that no one cleans it." Zorro said disapprovingly.
“。。。 Forget it, go to bed early and don't interfere with my sleep. The old professor went up the stairs and went to sleep without looking back.
"Whew." Su Yao tilted his head back and half lay on the sofa. It's finally easy.
Maki frowned on the side, raised his hand and touched his shoulder. No one knew what he was thinking. It's just a small episode, and there's nothing strange about it. But it was a bit scary for him, the spider? You can see that?? This old man is really not simple.
"Zorro, what are you going to do, are you really leaving?" Although this is what Su Yao has always wanted, isn't it like nothing to do when he leaves like this. It feels like a few days here are a complete waste of time.
"It's not for nothing, at least I got a little bit of useful information, did I??" Zorro didn't think so, he looked at his lighter, with this clue, they could go down the vine, and those few people would definitely not stay somewhere so obediently and do nothing after they came out, he had a hunch in his heart, that tantric sect was very likely to have something to do with that church or even Su and them, and when it appeared, it was about the same time as they left the dark forest, and it was so mysterious that it seemed that they had done something that could not see the light. This completely aroused Zorro's curiosity in his heart, and he wanted to see what that tantric sect was.
"Is that so?" Su Yao saw the interest on Zorro's face, and saw what Zorro wanted to do, and muttered softly on the side. It seems that even if you leave this place, what awaits you is a long and arduous adventure. Is that tantra it?
"Alright, go to bed, sleep." Hua Hong is really tired now, and lay down on the floor on the side, fortunately, this place is not very cold, even if he has no life, he can sleep all night, Su Yao saw that he was lying down, and he didn't mean to continue, he fell directly on the sofa, and the other two people also found a place to sleep.
After Zorro turned off the light, the room suddenly fell into darkness, everyone didn't speak, Su Yao kept his eyes open and looked at the nothingness in front of him, I don't know if the others can sleep, anyway, he seems to have insomnia at night.
Tomorrow, are you leaving... Thinking of this, he could no longer be calm. He just closed his eyes and pretended not to do anything.
"Darkness descended, and the world became silent in an instant.
...
