Volume 2 The Girls' Chapters [Guidelines] Chapter 38 The Fire That Destroyed the Souls
The clue came to an abrupt end, as if it had been deliberately erased.
The guidelines did not choose to blow up the lab.
Rather than blowing it up, it is better to use it to confuse the enemy.
Through the narrow passage and up the stairs, the guideline dives into the water again.
With a "plop", the guidelines swam out of the water.
The criterion stepped sideways and returned to the concrete floor next to the ditch, and Xingtu, who was standing on the side, thoughtfully handed over a towel.
"Thank you." The guideline picked up a towel and wiped himself briefly.
"How's it going, is there a clue in there?" Xingtu asked.
"Unfortunately, our trail has been broken." The norm hesitated and said, "It seems that the [Dark Shadow Web] is not an idle person, I underestimate them." ”
"Shall we retreat for the time being, or shall we look for new clues?" Xingtu asked a little unwillingly.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Let's go to the morning market again and have a simple breakfast by the way." ”
"Okay." Xingtu responded quickly.
"By the way, how did you know that the informant was the white-haired uncle who sold pancakes?"
"Half of it is by my unique ability, and the other half is ...... Forget it, I don't want you to know. "The guidelines don't want to go on.
Xingtu unexpectedly stopped asking.
The two re-entered the morning market, the familiar shouting echoing in the ears of the standard. Each stall is filled with a variety of ingredients, making it very tempting.
Bursts of thick water vapor float up, and bursts of aroma come to the nose.
"I didn't expect the food in the slum of No. 13 to be quite delicious." Xingtu exclaimed, "I've got a little appetite. ”
The guidelines are unquestionable: "First, don't use the official term [No. 13 Slum], people here are used to calling it "No. 13 Street in the Northeast South", and second, don't smell very good and feel very hygienic, most of the food here is not fresh, coupled with environmental pollution, most of the food is harmful to the body. ”
"It seems that I can be a salted fish with peace of mind." Xingtu shrugged, "You're just a perfect woman." ”
"No, my vision is not very good, I am blind." The standard looked at Xingtu, "Originally, I wanted you to learn the skills of the shadows, but now it seems that they are all useless. ”
Why does this sentence sound so underwhelming, forget it, I can't beat it anyway...... Xingtu silently recited.
"Alright, let's sit and have breakfast at that stall." The guidelines stopped in front of a store.
The shop doesn't have a sign, and the food it sells is very simple, just fried dough sticks and eggs.
After greeting the boss, he brought a plate full of food.
On the plate lay a few fried fritters and a few raw eggs.
Xingtu's face was full of disgust.
"Eat quickly, don't be picky, this is much better than your black tea." Criterion directly picked up a fritter and elegantly put it in his mouth.
"Haha, I don't want a girl who lives here with this kind of eating posture." Xingtu was amused by the eating posture of the guideline.
The criterion looked at Xingtu's habitually folded legs, and said faintly: "You don't sit like a man here, and you are not qualified to talk about other people. ”
In the dark competition, Xingtu and the standard finished a simple breakfast.
Xingtu wiped the oil from his mouth and said goodbye with satisfaction.
[Okay, let's sort out the content of the information.] 】
Xingtu's ears sounded the voice of the guide.
【……】
The sound of communication became noisy.
In front of Xingtu, his face was heavy, and his two eyes looked at the sky behind Xingtu.
"What's wrong, Guidelines." Xingtu turned his head to look behind him.
There were strange fluctuations in the air, and behind them were chaotic streets and raging flames.
"The clues can't be found anymore, let's leave this place of right and wrong first." The guidelines calmly give orders.
Xingtu asked anxiously: "How is Xiaoya, has she been sent away?" ”
Criterion glanced at the communicator and said, "Rest assured, she's been sent out safely." ”
The fire caused smoke to billowing from the Slum Thirteen, and people screamed in panic.
The crowd rushed in like a tidal wave, and the relatively small body of the criterion was swallowed up by the fleeing crowd.
Adhering to the rules of covert operations, she could not use her special abilities in front of so many people.
Xingtu finally exerted a lot of strength stronger than his peers, and he did not hesitate to swim against the current and walked to the side of the standard.
"No matter what happens, I will be there for you." Xingtu stretched out his strong arm.
"Why are you so stupid?" The guidelines tightly grabbed Xingtu's wrist.
"This lame love sentence should be left to your future lover." The norm said without a hint of emotion.
"You're thinking too much about it." Xingtu smiled awkwardly.
In this way, Xingtu and Criterion grabbed each other's arms, worked together, and finally escaped from the Slum No. 13.
Outside the Thirteenth Slum is a barren land.
The residents who had been lucky enough to escape were gasping for breath and sitting limply on the ground, their pupils already darkened.
Inside the Slum Thirteen is a scorched black place.
The unfortunate residents trapped in the fire were blinded and fell to their knees in despair, watching the fire engulf their bodies.
"It's really inhumane, who the hell caused the fire."
"Lives are in misery, God, which master have we offended."
The sound of discussion, the sound of the ear, like a spike, pierced into the heart, confusing the heart of Xingtu.
The integrity carved into his bones made it impossible for him to face this fact.
"What are you still doing! Call the relevant federal authorities! Xingtu shouted at the guidelines for meditation.
The norm said bitterly: "It's useless, Slum Thirteen belongs to the autonomous area, and the Federation will not send people to rescue them." ”
"The Federation, is the Federal Headquarters so ruthless?" Xingtu is a little in a trance.
"Can't you have such a high level of authority?"
"No matter whose call it is, they won't come, you die." The norm said grimly.
"Then I'll go in and save them alone." Xingtu rushed to the standard in a delirious state.
"Smack."
The criterion suddenly gave Xingtu a backhand slap and slapped him.
A large red handprint appeared on Xingtu's face.
"Xingtu, you sober me up." The standard frowned and said angrily, "Don't shout! What's the use of being reckless now! ”
In a trembling voice, he said, "Most of the people inside are innocent, but they don't know you. ”
"I'll ask you a question, and if you can answer it, I'll send you to your death." The norm is determined to point his right hand at the fire.
"If there are people on both sides of the fire that you need to save, Xiaoya on one side and three people you don't know on the other, and you can only save one side, what will you choose?"
"Will you sacrifice three people or Xiaoya?" The words spoken by the guidelines were like needles piercing Xingtu's heart.
Xingtu did not give up and continued: "I won't choose, I will go directly to save ......"
"If you don't save one of the two sides, you'll feel like you killed them, right?" The criterion interrupted Xingtu's words, "I don't know you as a person, do I still know you?" ”
And this sentence also became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Xingtu couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, and he was in a trance and fell to the ground.
"If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." The norm said in a hoarse voice.
"You've sacrificed enough, don't sacrifice yourself anymore."
Xingtu raised his face covered with dirt and asked, "Can I entrust my life to you?" ”
