Chapter 16: Companions
"Do you understand that you will be able to walk through this forest alive and make an appointment in less time?" In front of the sea of trees in Giforora, an instructor said to a group of children who were about to go through the test of life and death.
"Understood!" Although the answer was loud, it was obviously lacking in confidence, looking at the gloomy forest, no one had a bottom in their hearts.
"Let's go." They began to pour into the forest, startling a flurry of birds.
On the mountain in the distance, Gozqi sat on the edge of the cliff, "Gozqi, didn't the thirteenth follow you?" "The bald head walked over, Thirteen, the successful test subject, because I didn't know his name, so I kept using the test subject number in the Imperial Research Institute.
"I can't help it, I can't control him. Although he successfully fused with Huangjing, his personality may have been affected a little, and he only likes to be alone, but fortunately, it has stabilized, and as long as he trains well, he will definitely be able to use it for the empire. When he thought of the child's metamorphosis recovery ability after fusing with dangerous species, Gozzi didn't know what to say, especially his restored vision and hearing, which was even more shocking.
"It's just that the price is too great...... "The bald head said silently. When I think of fashion (sissy) and still can't accept the reality of losing my left hand, that kind of despair is always a little sad in my heart.
"But did you think of it? Thirteenth has already merged with Huangjing, which means ......" Gozzi said lightly, "As long as we still control him, we will always have a second Huangjing and a third ......"
"Do you have a way to guarantee his loyalty to the Empire?"
"This is also the problem I am most worried about, no way, compared to his peers, he has endured too much, so ordinary education is useless to him at all, otherwise why should I take him with me? If anything happens, it must be eradicated in the first place. ”
"What a dangerous weapon...... "The bald head didn't say anything. Screams began to be heard from the forest in the distance, "Are people dying so soon?" Gozzi said to himself, "Forget it, let's go and fill my stomach with a dangerous seed." ”
At the same time in the forest, the children, who had never seen blood, saw a boy who rushed to the front being swallowed whole by a cannibalistic plant, and their hearts began to retreat and stopped moving forward, but at the moment of hesitation, a group of hyenas surrounded them from behind, and pounced on several people at once, and the children who were not attacked almost broke down mentally and ran madly to the depths of the forest, but died in the hands of the endless cannibal flowers and killer vines on the road.
He had not sat on a huge tree, quietly watching what was happening, without the slightest expression on his face, and his left eye was tightly wrapped in bandages. With a "squeak", an unknown blue bird landed on his shoulder, and before he could stretch out his fingers, the blue bird jumped on his fingers again and pecked at his fingers gently.
As if hearing something, the bird fluttered away, no longer raising its head, and the pupil of its right eye was clear and transparent, like a black crystal, revealing a trace of indifference and dazedness.
It's all like a dream, it seems very vague, but it's so real, what's the use of remembering everything before? Now my sister doesn't know, I don't know if she's still alive, and so is my master...... The whole person has lost the purpose of continuing to exist.
"It's two people... What a heartwarming scene. The bald head said, "Gozzi, how many can you educate if you count the thirteenth?" "Gozzi sits on the carcass of a giant triceratops and eats its flesh raw." The thirteenth is a special situation, so the most ...... Well, maybe eight. ”
"Then send me the rest. It's a pity that fashion...... Otherwise, with his potion, I will definitely be able to drain the use value of the remaining people. The bald head said with a little headache, "Forget it, let's go and announce the results first." ”
"Why! Why am I separated from Black Hitomi? "I don't want to be separated from my sister......" "What are you going to do?" …………
There was a sound of chirping and arguing in the tent, and then a guard pulled the black pupil away as if he were carrying a chicken, and two more soldiers came out from behind, pulling a boy, and finally, the little boy who had found that he was no longer was taken away by an officer.
In the carriage, four men, four women and eight children sat on the wooden plank, they had all changed their clothes, and the thirteenth was also among them, and there were two people who were acquaintances, that is, two of the five, a man and a woman, they sat closer, the girl looked sad, and the boy was wary of the people around him, and the whole carriage was quiet, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, unspeakably weird.
I don't know how long it took, but the carriage stopped, and they could no longer be seen through the gap in the planks next to a small village, where there were already people waiting. Gozzi let them get off the bus, and the people in the village were very warm and attentive, but during the meal, they always felt that someone was staring at them, and their hearts were furious. After dinner, Gozzi led them to a large villa. Walking in, the whole villa was spotless, and it was obvious that it had just been cleaned, and the dining table in the hall.
"Remember, everybody. This is our home, and everyone is family. I am your father. Gozzi sat on the top seat with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Then, every child should introduce themselves first, according to the ranking, the first is No.0." ”
No.0 is no more, he sits in the last position on Gozzi's right hand, as if he didn't hear, still sitting dingding.
"Hehe, No.0 rarely interacts with others, so I'm not very good at introducing myself, so I'll do it. No.0's real name ......" Gozzi glanced at him, "Arthur, he is the strongest of you, so you all have to call him brother." "Gozqi had expected that the thirteenth would come to such a hand, and apparently had already made up a name for him. There was still no response, sitting there like a statue, if it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, the remaining seven people would have thought he was dead.
However, he didn't seem to be deliberately going against Gozqi, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "My name is no more." Then he lowered his head again.
Gozzi was embarrassed, but he couldn't help it, and began to shift the conversation to the others.
Then there was the first child sitting on Gozzi's left, the boy in the five, with blonde hair, "No.1, Nahaxiu......
After everyone had introduced themselves, Gozzi told them about their mission, and everyone (except for No.) felt the importance of their mission.
"So, let's stop here for today, I believe everyone is tired, everyone has their own room, first come, first served. Some daily necessities are in the closet, and if we need anything, we will go to the village tomorrow to buy them. The children happily went upstairs to fight for the room, but they were no longer sitting alone. He's sorting out what he's just gotten.
No.1, Nahasiu. He has a good face and short blond hair. He is a little proud, looks down on others, and in the last battle between the five of them and the wolf, his performance was second only to that child who had not found it.
No.2, Guy. Tall stature with passerby faces. It seems to be a big grin, but it's the same as it is, I've been carefully observing others, quite a city, and a trace of obscenity flashed in my eyes when I saw a few women, and it was basically determined that it was a pervert.
No.3, Cornelia. Beige hair and a good figure. Very enthusiastic, and always give No.6 and No.7 dishes at the dinner table just now, I like to take care of others very much, and I feel like a sister who can be relied on.
no.4。 Boni, a typical nervous strip, and has a good attitude towards Gozzi, is suspected of being Gozzi's daughter.
No.5, Green. Slightly short-sighted, wears a pair of glasses, is cautious, and has a dark belly, which is different from Guy's obscenity, and is no longer defined as sullen.
No.6, Tsukushi. The personality is not very distinct, and he likes to cater to others and get along with the people around him.
No.7, red pupils. Long black hair, carnivorous woman, more peer-conscious, that is, the girl in the five-person group, is slightly inferior to Nahaxiu, but the ranking of No.7 makes me not very puzzled.
Seeing that it was not too late, I was ready to go upstairs to rest.
Several rooms were lit up, and after searching for most of the day, only the last room on the third floor remained. Pushing open the door, the furnishings in the room were very simple, a bed with a futon on the bed, a small desk, a small bookshelf where sundries could be placed, a wardrobe, and a large window.
Open the wardrobe, a small teacup, a towel, a washbasin.
I opened the window and was no longer sitting on the edge of the window.
Blowing a cool evening breeze, the bright moonlight shines on the body, with a different kind of warmth.
The window was so wide open, and he didn't fall on the bed. Alas? Suddenly I felt very uncomfortable, dizzy, my stomach seemed to be overturned, and my limbs were weak, what happened? He didn't cover his mouth with his left hand so that he wouldn't spit it out, his right hand held on to the door frame, he stumbled to the bathroom on the third floor with his memory, and he vomited in the sink for a while.
The pain intensified, as if thousands of needles were inserted into the skull, then pulled out and inserted again, and so on.
The floor beneath him was crystallized, much faster than the last time.
In a blur, it was no longer as if I saw someone pushing the door in, and then ...... Then his eyes went black and he fainted in pain.
