Rescued Girls (4)
Okay, I'll pack up, and I'll go for a walk around the city in the evening. Kevin looked at Sen Ling with a smile, and Sen Ling nodded very obediently. Ever since they met that day, Sen Ling has been very clingy to Kevin, and he even forgot about the killing of the two black-robed men and the destruction of his body that night. Even Penny said that Sen Ling must be her long-lost sister, and she has a special feeling when she sees her brother.
"By the way, Sen Ling, when did my aunt say when she left that day?"
"Huh? It seems to say half a month later. ”
Kevin thought about it, thinking that there was nothing to do during this time, and Dong had also returned to his hometown with his parents to visit relatives, so it was better to take Sen Ling out for a trip, and going out for a walk might make her more cheerful.
"Would you like to go somewhere else, such as the merchant capital of Isserine?" Kevin suggested.
Sen Ling replied simply: "As long as my brother is by my side, I can do anything." ”
"That's it, okay, let's go."
Although Senling is only up to Kevin's shoulders, his thin body makes outsiders look stunted. But the delicate appearance and the unsullied green eyes still give people a plain beauty.
"Let's go to the Elmond Tavern for a bite to eat." Kevin said, taking the forest's little hand.
But when Sen Ling heard this name, his heart chuckled, and he stood motionless.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, do you want to sell me back?" Sen Ling said very quietly, and his little hands trembled slightly.
Kevin immediately understood, it turned out that Sen Ling had escaped from there before, and hurriedly tightened her hand and smoothed her hair.
"No, how can I give it up, I just don't know that you are not good for me, my brother apologizes to you."
Hearing Kevin's serious explanation, Sen Ling relaxed, because she could feel the temperature coming from Kevin's hand, which was absolutely undeceiving.
"Hmm"
"My sister is really good, then let's go somewhere else, I heard that there is a good one in the outer city, let's go."
At night, the outer city does not need to be lit up in the inner city after dinner, but there is only a sense of comfort, and from time to time I can hear wandering poets singing on the street, and the tune that does not lose its harmony adds a uniqueness.
"We're here." Kevin said.
The decoration of the small shop in front of me is not gorgeous, but there is a quaint charm that spreads out, and the dim yellow traditional oil lamp slightly illuminates the name of the shop.
"Marrow, that's a simple name."
Kevin pulled Sen Ling into the store, and found that there were not many people inside, so he casually found a spare table in the middle and sat down, and then a middle-aged man walked towards them enthusiastically.
The man looked to be in his forties, and his bronze complexion revealed the sharpness of metal under the light here, and his honest tone made people feel more friendly.
"Yo, good evening, you two, want to have something, we eat here, the food is primitive, the ingredients are all grown by ourselves, and you can't eat it outside."
"Oh, really? So what's the introduction? "Kevin is also here for the first time, so let's listen to the opinion of the owner here.
"We call it marrow, the so-called taste of eating marrow, ah! Of course, it doesn't mean that kind of thing, the most famous thing here is to eat bone marrow, not to mention that eating can strengthen the body, it has more beauty benefits, I see that this little girl is such a thin body, eating some supplements can also promote development, it is better to try that white soup beef marrow. ”
Hearing the boss's introduction, seeing that Sen Ling had no opinion, he asked the boss to prepare quickly.
At this time, Sen Ling whispered: "I think the little animals are very pitiful, they were eaten by us so cruelly." ”
Kevin touched Sen Ling's head again and sighed: "Life is to continue for the sake of going on, it doesn't matter if you have, you don't care if you don't have it, you are grateful for what you get, and you have to lose it." But my sister is so kind, so she prays for the little animals we eat, so that they can become human beings in the next life. ”
Sen Ling smiled slightly after hearing this, knowing that those meat dishes were on the table, she clasped her hands and prayed.
Kevin erected a piece of milky white softness, this is the cow pith introduced by the boss, I have to say that this thing melts in the mouth, and the taste is as warm and delicious as milk.
"It's delicious." Sen Ling rarely took the initiative to speak, and he enjoyed it very much.
"Then eat more, and try the others as well."
At this time, the two men at the other table were finishing a small drink, and they were talking about something with the strength of wine.
"Did you know that many girls have been missing from the inner city lately?" The man in gray said.
The fat man at the table seemed to be drunk, and shouted through the strength of the wine, "What is missing, girl?" Cut, what's so strange about the disappearance of ten or eight, just be sold by human traffickers. ”
The fat man paused, looked at the people around him, and said in a low voice: "But let me tell you, this is not an ordinary disappearance, but the state is conducting some secret research, and it needs living people to experiment!" ”
"What?" The gray-clothed man's round eyes were full of disbelief.
"Shhhh Don't be so loud, these are all things I heard from my friend in the inner city who works as a logistics handyman at the research institute. It is said that every night, a few men in black robes would carry sacks to the research institute under the jurisdiction of the Silver Flame Knights, and the cry of a girl could be faintly heard inside. ”
The fat man spoke very quietly, for fear that someone would hear it, but fortunately, Kevin's hearing was very keen and he memorized all the contents word for word.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the council when you experiment with a living person, this is a big crime!"
"What are you afraid of, where there is danger and where there is wealth, you see!" The fat man reveals a shiny royal blue coin.
"Demon shield, you are actually it" The man in gray looked at the magic shield and his heart itched.
"Why, do it or not, this is a financial road, do this vote well, and you will have no worries for the rest of your life!" The fat man squeezed out a smile on his fat face.
Soon the two left shoulder to shoulder, and Kevin had almost eaten here, and they also paid for it and left. I never thought to come out and actually heard such news, it seems that the person who went to arrest Sen Ling that night is very likely to have something to do with this incident.
"Rest early." Kevin calmed Sen Ling's emotions, changed into a black close-up leather armor, and jumped out of the window into the night. Kevin had been thinking about the events of that night, the embroidered on the black robe was obviously not the mark of the Silver Flame Knights, if it was really as the two men said, this plan to experiment with living people was discovered, it would be enough for the Knights to face mediation. Moreover, it is said that the Legion of Guards, which is directly under the Parliament, wanted to take back the jurisdiction of the Order for a long time.
Kevin, who walks through the night, is as nimble as a fish swimming in the sea, and his ghostly body moves at an incredible speed, even the darkness of the night cannot hide the solemnity emanating from this quaint building.
Kevin was parked on the roof of one side of the building, not far away, and the two men who had just been in the restaurant appeared sneakily in the alley next to the station, and in front of them there was a small wooden cart with several black sacks on it.
"I said, inside is the Knights' station, that, if anyone finds us dead." The man in gray looked at the fat man very nervously and said.
The fat man just touched his chin and sneered: "Look at you bear-like, you don't usually say that you are very bold, why did you wilt as soon as you get here, don't worry, someone will come to pick up the wind soon." And this batch is a good batch, I guess we will be able to finish this vote."
When the fat man laughed, he could only see the gaps squeezed out of the fat raw, which felt very disgusting.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, but I always feel like someone is watching us." The man in gray looked around, and when he saw the phoenix statue illuminated with spiritual light, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
"Don't scare yourself, it's so late, I'll get down, you can take care of me here." The fat man turned around and walked into the alley.
The yin wind blew gently, so frightened that the man in gray only shivered, especially the phoenix statue kept looking at him, as if he had seen through everything he had done, and his heart was ruthless.
Suddenly, he heard what seemed to be moving from the side, and immediately turned around, and before he could see clearly, his eyes went dark.
"Let me take your place." Kevin smiled and immediately changed into the gray man's clothes.
"Hey, I said where did you go, why did you come back and disappeared."
Kevin feigned fear and replied timidly, "I just seemed to see something moving over there, so I went to look at it, but it turned out that the leaves fell to the ground in the wind." ”
The fat man frowned slightly and looked in the direction that Kevin was pointing, and snorted coldly: "Don't make any more trouble for me, otherwise get out of here now." ”
Kevin nodded vigorously, and at this time, there were several crisp crashing sounds in the depths of the alley, which suddenly made the fat man's eyes light up, and he hurriedly said: "The cart is gone, the people are coming." ”
Sure enough, at the end of the alley, a man in a black robe waited, signaling to stop the cart. The fat man hurriedly motioned to Kevin not to speak. The black-robed man walked over to the cart and circled around three times, then his wizened hand took out a small bag.
Kevin's sharp eyesight saw that the embroidered mark on the bag was exactly the same as that night, except that the man in the black robe was not wearing the strange ring.
The black-robed man grabbed a handful of red powder from the bag, but he suddenly stared at Kevin's position, and then the fat man smiled nervously: "This is my partner, I brought him here, don't worry." ”
The black-robed man nodded, then sprinkled the powder on top of the black sack of the car. A string of jerky and incomprehensible incantations rang out, and the sprinkling red powder seemed to condense a small snake with spirit, and then crawled on top of the black sack.
"Hiss"
The black sack flickered, and suddenly the little snake jumped out in the direction of the fat man, and the exposed sharp teeth were directly inserted into the artery of the neck, and before he could struggle, the fat fell to the ground.
At this time, the little snake that condensed also dissipated, and Kevin, who pretended to be frightened, hurriedly looked at the black-robed man and knelt down to plead.
"I don't know anything, don't kill me."
The black-robed man said in a vicissitudes and a low tone: "In the future, you will take his place." ”
Then he waved my hand and asked me to follow them with a small cart. Led by a black-robed man, they walked through the extended wall and came to a lawn at the back of the Institute.
Kevin thought to himself, this is here? Looking at the empty grass in front of him, the black-robed man walked up to Kevin, reached out to his eyebrows, and a faint spiritual energy rushed into his mind. Kevin knew that this was a way to delete his memories, so he pretended to have successfully deleted his memories and walked down the alley behind him after they paid for it.
Just as he was about to go out, Kevin stepped on his feet, directly refracting into the dark corners with invisible speed, like light, to see what they wanted to do.
The two black-robed men began to cast spells on the wooden cart, and the black sacks were loosened one after another, and all the people tied inside were girls, all of whom looked to be under twenty years old. When the last girl came out of the bag, Kevin was stunned.
"What's the matter, how could she be here?"
Kevin was talking about Evan, her eyes glazed over, and she was wearing only a tattered cloth dress. Kevin knew that with her martial arts, she couldn't be caught so easily, unless she was also here to investigate, just like herself. No matter how much it is, let's go up first. The black-robed man led the girl in control through the entrance of the corridor on the side, and walked through a long walk in the direction of the underground, until he came to a very empty lobby.
Suddenly, a dark green flame ignited the entire room, and on the stairs there were three men in silver armor who stood out, and the emblem of the Silver Flame Knights engraved on them was enough to prove their identity.
Seeing the three black-robed men coming in, they nodded politely, and then the middle-aged man with slightly gray temples standing in the middle ordered the assistants on both sides to check the captured girls.
At this time, the black-robed man asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take to get it out?" ”
The middle-aged man said: "If there is no accident, this batch of girls should be the last test subjects, please rest assured." ”
The black-robed man swept over the five girls standing below, and said coldly: "Yes, it's the best, this matter can't be delayed any longer."
"Yes, yes, the above investigation has been tighter recently, and the progress will slow down, and you also know that the prince's side is not easy to do."
Hearing the word prince, Kevin immediately remembered that the current leader of the Silver Flame Knights happened to be Prince Cesar, could this matter have something to do with him?
"Don't forget what you did eighteen years ago, if we hadn't helped you, it's hard to say who is in that position now."
The two assistants below signaled that there was no problem with the inspection, and then the middle-aged man spoke and placed them on a humanoid scaffold next to him, which was made entirely according to the proportions of human limbs, and was connected to a dense thin tube.
Then the middle-aged man pulled out a scarlet fist-sized block from a box, beating slowly like a heart.
"Your Excellency, you see, this is the soul erosion, as long as it is connected to the bodies of these people, they can directly gnaw the center of the spiritual breath in the body, the spiritual source, so that they will become walking corpses who only obey our orders, and this time it will not cause the body to collapse like before."
