The Flame of All Things Chapter 76—The Iris Girl (4)
Few cars passed through the square at night, and it was not until eight or nine o'clock that the people in the square began to leave, and the two of Gusuri returned. Yuan Kao found a tea bar and sat down, and Yeslanka sat there in a daze.
Motokama asked for a cup of coffee, and Yeslanka asked for a glass of lemonade. But it was almost ten minutes after the glass of lemonade was served, and she didn't mean to drink it.
What a hassle...... Yuan Kao felt that this task was still clueless. The time for the "trade fair" is approaching, and they are still as inaccessible as outsiders. Will they finally enter the fairs and find the beasts from among the villains?
If that's the case, they'll have countless guns pointed at them before they even spot the beast, and maybe there will be perverted weapons like RPGs and M28A1 Barrett anti-materiel rifles. Many of the businessmen here are from the Middle East, and it is not surprising that there are weapons sold by the US military there.
He even imagined it.
"Teacher, what are we going to do next. Yeslanka spoke suddenly. These were the first words she said when she came back from the square to the tea bar today.
"Uh......" Yuan shook his head, and then said, "There are currently two directions. The first is to wait for those three people to see if they can bring back useful news. However, they did not contact us on a daily basis as promised. Second, we go to the venue where the 'trade fair' is located, and we go directly to the venue where we may see what will happen. But either way, we need to be patient. "His words seem to have increased more, and in the academy, he never talks nonsense to his students.
But this time as a commissioner, there are people in the team who are more experienced than veterans like Jinglian, and there are also rookies who have only performed the task of entering the department. He had to explain a little more.
"The second one. ”
"Somewhat unexpectedly, I thought you would say the first one. He glanced at Yesranka.
"I was also surprised, I thought you would rule out the first one. What came back was the pungent words in Yeslanka's flat tone.
Yuan Yao smiled faintly, he didn't care.
"I thought it would be better for you to follow me so I could take care of you. But now I understand, I should have separated you from that guy. ”
"That ...... 'guy'?" her eyes looked confused.
"The kid. He added.
Yeslanka seemed to know something, she didn't speak, and suddenly took a sip of lemonade from her glass.
"I apologize for my previous actions. ”
"No, here, we're all in this together. ”
"You're a little bit more talkative than you were in the class. For no reason, she said.
Yuan Yao then remembered that the blonde foreign girl in front of him turned out to be a member of the 32nd freshman class, and as their leader, he didn't remember it. And it wasn't until now that the other party brought it up that he remembered about it.
Somewhat embarrassed, he wanted to change the subject.
"Before, were you trying to save that child?" he said suddenly.
"The one outside the square?"
"Yes. ”
To Yuan's surprise, she didn't get into trouble again on this issue, but said it easily.
"I think there's something unusual about her. ”
"Extraordinary?"
"It's a strange feeling, and to tell you the truth, I'm naturally alert to a crisis, not witchcraft. She thought for a moment and continued, "When I saw that little girl, I was scared...... No, that's a feeling of pity. It's like, if you see a bloodthirsty great white shark killing countless fish in a school of fish, all you feel is fear for it. But one day, he encountered a huge killer whale, which was bitten and scaled all over his body, and was about to die. So...... At this point, you'll feel like it's actually a little pitiful. ”
"Because it has gone from being on the strong side to being weak. ”
"Yes, maybe. That's what I felt in that little girl. She's like a wounded beast, obviously ...... It was just a child. But I could feel the sense of danger that would not dissipate, but she was covered in bruises and was about to die. ”
"That's why you're thinking about saving her?"
"Yes. ”
It's so kind. He couldn't help but sigh. But he said: "This kind of trick is very popular here, and that girl is supposed to be a slave of the aborigines, who have trained this kind of child to beg since childhood." deliberately made the little girl look sympathetic, and the merchants in the past would leave a lot of money without hesitation. And that money ends up in their owners' pockets and won't even give them an extra piece of meat for dinner. ”
"I know. ”
"So you're afraid that the thug who got out of the car will kill her, right?"
"Villain?" she seemed to think of the man in the suit in the overcoat on the Rolls-Royce. The man had a faint coercion that she could feel even from a distance. She was sure that he wasn't a witch, just an ordinary person. But ordinary people can actually possess this ability, and they have almost mastered such a thing as 'aura' to the extreme.
"That person should help her. It's ironic that this kind of person has killed countless people on his battlefield, but when he arrives here, he has become a saving existence. She said.
"For most people, he deserves to die. And to that little girl, he was a benefactor. But...... There's something I don't know if you've noticed. ”
"What?"
"That little girl is supposed to have a master, and that man is not surprising to kill his master. I saw the gun in his hand, too. The American-made BPCC 380ACP is a very popular small firearm in these years. Portable and lethal. ”
"What do you want to say?" her eyes widened suddenly, and a bad premonition came to her mind.
"The sound is inconsistent. He said lightly.
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked in an unknown direction in the void.
And on a certain highway, an old Rolls-Royce drove slowly. The car didn't know where it was going, and it had been driving for almost three hours. The little girl under the back seat fell asleep briefly, then woke up again.
She felt that she had left the town of Tande, that it was already night outside the window, and that the faint moonlight was shining in, giving people a sense of tranquility.
At this point, it shouldn't matter if she pops up suddenly, right?, she thought, the man in the suit wouldn't drive back to Tander again, no matter how bad he was. She knew that what these 'killer demons' were most afraid of was trouble. They would rather find a random corner on the road and leave her than drive back.
It's better to starve to death and be bitten to death by wild beasts outside than in Tande, right? It's just that the days by the master's side are too hard, so she leaves desperately.
To others it is a demon, but to her it should be an angel in the book.
She felt grateful that even if the man in the suit had lost her in a corner.
Thinking of this, she stretched out without burden, and a slight moan peculiar to a girl came from the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.
She sat up slowly, her eyes looking in the rearview mirror ahead.
suddenly
A sound broke the silence in the car. The slightly undulating mountain road suddenly became extremely bumpy, and the girl's heart was even more turbulent, and then her face suddenly turned pale and lost her blood, and a spontaneous despair rose from the bottom of her heart.
"How's the harvest today?" said in a calm voice, like a demon in hell.
Those triangular eyes looked playfully at herself in the rearview mirror, and she had seen them countless times.
suddenly
The little girl suddenly felt as if she had lost something in her heart, empty, all her feelings had faded, and she had no strength in her body. The Rolls-Royce was heated inside, but her body was so cold that she leaned limply on the cushion.
It was not the man in the suit who got into the car, but her owner.
How could it be? How could it be? She asked herself three times in succession, and the man who looked like a lion had not killed her master, but that her master had run into the car and carried her somewhere.
She pinched her arm in disbelief, but she didn't wake up like a dream when she was unconscious.
He could even pay for his soul, but the man didn't do what he was supposed to do.
It seems that he was killed by his own master.
"I'm confused. The chilling voice sounded from front again.
