Chapter 427: The Future of the Terrans (I)
The girl put down the wooden basin she was holding in her hand and said with a smile: "You have been in a coma for three days, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Betty." ”
"Three days?"
Jialan touched her head, a fragment of the battle flashed through her mind, and she remembered that she and the rest of the members of the Platinum Eight Masters had accepted the task assigned by Nia to delay time in the Broken Light Realm to prevent the Bloody Hand Knights from leaving.
However, the opponent was too strong, and the mission seemed to fail in the end, and Thord, Sima, Fabio, and Big Brother Cruz all died.
Thinking of this, Jialan felt a splitting headache, covered her head and let out a low moan.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing Jialan's pained expression, Betty stepped forward and asked with concern.
"What is this place?"
After a while, Jia Lan waved her hand and asked weakly.
"This is the dream town of Hilled." Betty said.
"Dream Town?" Jialan had a confused expression, obviously hearing about this place for the first time.
"By the way, you've been in a coma for so many days, you should be hungry, I'll prepare some food for you." Betty seemed to remember something, stood up and said with a smile.
Before Jialan could speak, Betty had already walked out, leaving her sitting on the bed in a daze.
"No, my mission obviously failed, why are I still alive?"
Jialan looked at her hand again, and with a half-sound, she reluctantly moved her body, walked off the bed, and then slowly touched the door.
Pushing open the door with difficulty, Jialan walked out of the room and came to a living room.
The decoration of the living room is very simple. There was only a dining table and a few chairs. Less than three meters from the left-hand side of the room. There was a kitchen where the sound of the girl who called herself Betty humming could be heard.
She was cooking food in the kitchen at this time.
Seeing this, Jialan moved to the other side with doubts, where there was a doorway, and through the window next to it, a green scene could be seen.
When Jialan walked out of the house, a fresh breeze mixed with the aroma of herbs blew in front of her, revealing a lush green field in front of her.
Colorful roof next to the house. There are also a few towering trees, and the occasional breeze blows and the branches make a rustling sound. The sunlight casts through the sparse canopy, dappled and unrealistic.
Stepping on the earthy grass under her feet, Jialan walked slowly forward, and soon, the vision in front of her suddenly opened up, and she could see the town below.
There are not many buildings in the town, and the roofs of the houses are all colorful colors. Scattered irregularly on both sides of the street, it looks full of fairy tale colors.
Jialan watched it for a long time. With a look of confusion on his face, he muttered, "Why am I here?" ”
Just as she was at a loss, there was a footstep of footsteps, but a silver-haired woman dressed as a maid came up from the bottom of the hill, holding a basket of vegetables in her hand, apparently just returning from shopping in town.
Seeing Jialan standing there, Helan was stunned for a moment, and then ran forward and said nervously: "Little sister, are you finally awake?" Oh no, why are you standing here alone? What about Sister Betty? ”
Jialan first showed an inexplicable expression, and was about to speak, but Betty ran out of the room with a spoon, her expression was anxious, obviously because Jialan, who was lying in the room, was gone.
Seeing where Jialan was, Betty suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, walked up and said angrily: "Your injuries are not completely healed, why did you suddenly run out." ”
Seeing Helan coming back from grocery shopping, Betty continued: "Sister Helan, please take her back, I have to cook something for her to replenish her body." ”
Herlan nodded, and without saying a word, helped Jialan into the house.
Jialan didn't refuse, in fact, her brain was now completely in a state of mush, and she couldn't figure out what the situation was now.
After about ten minutes, Betty came out with a nest of white smoke broth, and she smiled while serving the soup with a spoon, "Because the time is too rushed, I can only cook a hot soup for the time being, please don't mind." ”
Jialan was stunned and turned to the bowl of hot soup that Betty handed over, looked at the steaming soup in the bowl, half loud, and whispered: "Who are you, why am I here?" ”
"My name is Herlan, her name is Sister Betty, and this is our house." Helan also came out of the kitchen at this time, and took the initiative to explain when he heard Jialan's question.
"Yes...... Did you save me? Jialan asked in an uncertain tone.
"It was the master who saved you." Herlan said.
"Master?"
Seeing Jialan's dazed expression, Betty next to her said: "Brother Ruan Chi, he rescued you back, you were covered in blood at that time, it was so scary, it took us a lot of effort to treat the wounds on your body." ”
Ruan Chi?
Although they fought twice, Jialan didn't know Ruan Chi's name, so there was no way to connect Ruan Chi, the "life-saving benefactor", with the devil who tortured her.
"The master went to the academy for classes today, and will be back in the evening." Herlan said.
"That's right, and your companion, she is now by Ruan Chi's brother's side, I guess I can see you when I come back tonight, and when the time comes, she will probably be very happy." Betty said the same.
"My companion?" Jialan was stunned for a moment, and then asked nervously, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"Yes, her name is Ampige, she should be your companion, right? She was very nervous when you were unconscious. Betty thought for a moment and said.
Sister Ampige, is it Sister Ampiki?
When Jialan heard the news, she was excited, but on the surface, she still maintained a blank expression.
Although I don't know the current situation, at least I am still alive, and Sister Ampige is alive, even she is alive, which is undoubtedly very good news.
That's what Jialan thought at the time......
But in the evening, when Jialan saw Betty and Ruan Chi's "Ruan Chi brother" and "master" come back, Jialan suddenly fell into despair.
"Yo, girl, are you finally awake?"
Ruan Chi sat down with a grin. Completely ignore Jialan's cannibalistic expression.
There was another person who walked in after Ruan Chi. It's still the same lady's dress. Although his expression was very haggard, his face was yellow, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Jialan, who was still thinking about whether to attack Ruan Chi, was shocked when she saw that person, and rushed forward quickly.
An Peiqi was bumped into Jialan's arms, and when she saw that it was Jialan, she was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and hugged her. said excitedly: "Jialan, you finally woke up, I thought you were ......"
As she spoke, Ampeggy herself cried, tears pouring out of her eyes like a flood of the missing embankment, and soon wetting the placket of her chest.
Betty and Heran stood on Ruan Chi's left and right respectively, looking at the two hugging each other, as if they were infected, and couldn't help but show happy expressions for them.
Jialan lay on An Peiqi for a while before letting go of her and asked, "Sister An Peiqi." What's going on? Why are we in this kind of place, and this guy ......"
said. Jialan looked at Ruan Chi who was sitting there with a cold gaze.
After the excitement of "this ......", An Peiqi's expression quickly dimmed.
Realizing that An Peiqi's expression was wrong, Jialan's heart couldn't help but sink, but at this time, Ruan Chi's voice sounded at the right time.
"Didn't she sue you? From now on, you, like her, are my slaves. ”
Jialan's delicate body shook slightly, and she looked at An Peiqi with an expression of disbelief, and half-loudly, a trace of meaning flashed in her eyes, and she turned around suddenly, and a slender and straight calf kicked towards Ruan Chi's smiling face.
But before that foot kicked Ruan Chi, it was grabbed by one of Ruan Chi's hands, Jialan felt a whirlwind of the sky, and when he reacted, the person had been knocked down by Ruan Chi, and with a "bang", the person fell to the ground heavily.
This was very strong, touching the wound on her body, and Jialan let out a painful cry from her mouth, and she couldn't stand up for a while.
"Sister Jialan?"
Seeing Jialan attacking Ruan Chi, An Peiqi was startled, but she didn't have time to stop it, Jialan was knocked down by Ruan Chi, and seeing her little face distorted because of pain, An Peiqi felt heartache and rushed up to help her up.
Seeing this, Betty and Herlan, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but flash a trace of sympathy.
"Really, why don't you learn your lesson so much, only to wake up and attack your master." Ruan Chi walked in front of Jialan, gouged out his ears and said lazily.
"Don't hurt her!" An Peiqi blocked in front of Jialan and spread her hands and said nervously.
"Slaves must be punished for doing wrong, otherwise where is the majesty of my master?" Ruan Chi pinched An Peiqi's chin, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said condescendingly.
An Peiqi was all over for a while, lowered her head half-loudly and whispered, "I...... I can take her place for punishment. ”
"Sister Ampeki, don't ......"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Jialan struggled to sit up, but was quickly kicked in the abdomen by Ruan Chi, and the person flew out sideways, hitting the wall with a loud noise.
"It looks like it needs to be trained a little bit."
Ruan Chi said to himself, grabbed An Peiqi, who was excited and wanted to walk over, and threatened: "You also have to be obedient to me, don't move." ”
"......" An Peiqi seemed to be struck by lightning, where was the resentment, but the look of worry in her eyes betrayed her.
"Betty, Heran, lock up that girl first, I'll go out first." Ruan Chi threw down such a sentence, and then pulled An Peiqi, who looked dumbfounded, out.
……
When he came to a no-man's land outside, Ruan Chi turned around, stared at An Peiqi with a sad face, and said angrily: "Don't have a sad expression, hurry up and work." ”
"I see."
Ampeki nodded as if appointed, and then launched her ability to jump with mental power.
Since catching Ampeggy, Ruan Chi has found that her abilities are really getting better and better, and now that Ruan Chi has left Dream Town, there is no need to go out of his way to find Salith.
After the rainbow flashed, in the next second, Ruan Chi's people had already come to the outside of Dream Town, and then An Peiqi used the ability several times in a row, and Ruan Chi immediately came to a small town located in the southern part of the Free Federation.
Through Guò Peggy's spiritual scan and spiritual connection, Ruan Chi quickly contacted Duncan, and the two then made one last mental power jump, and soon came to an old monastery.
Pushing open the tattered door, Ruan Chi walked in with the submissive An Peiqi.
There were already several people seated, and they all stood up when they heard the door open.
An Peiqi followed behind Ruan Chi, and when she saw these people, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Blood...... Knights of the Bloody Hand. ”
"See you again." Yuffie stood up with a frosty face, and looked at Ampige, a former member of the Platinum Eight, without a trace of warmth in her eyes.
An Peiqi subconsciously shivered, and stood behind Ruan Chi silently with her head down.
"Sister Yufie, can you not look at my slave with such fierce eyes? would freak her out. Ruan Chi said to Yu Fei with a smile.
Yuffie snorted coldly and turned his head.
"I didn't think that the person who asked us to wait here tonight was actually you little ghost."
As soon as the voice sounded, Ruan Chi looked over, but it was an acquaintance, it was a bald man, who was also wearing the standard armor of the Bloody Hand Knights, and his name was Rain's Bloody Hand Knight.
"Uncle, you're finally back?"
Ruan Chi's words made Ren's expression gloomy.
The reason why Wren showed this expression was because during the federal election, he and several other knights of the Knights of the Bloody Hand were transferred from Nugel City by the Federal Assembly, and when the reincarnation ceremony was attacked by the Heavenly Wheel, they could not be present to provide support.
For this reason, Wren is now very self-reproachful.
As Wren's partner, Minoston patted him on the shoulder and greeted Ruan Chi, "It's been a long time, little brother." ”
Ruan Chi smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it with him, Ruan Chi felt that the impression of Minoston was okay.
At this time, Tang Shide walked over accompanied by Duncan, and behind him, there were two other Bloody Hand knights Alma and Tedley, who Ruan Chi was not very familiar with.
Alma is a fat man with a body like a mountain of meat, with a bright smile, and when he sees Ruan Chi and An Peiqi, he greets him very politely.
As for Tedley, he was an old man who looked very old, with white beard and white hair, and a stern expression, and he just nodded lightly when he saw Ruan Chi.
Although Tang Shide was seriously injured by the reincarnation ritual's demon array when he fought with Tianlun last time, after a few days of rest, there is no major problem now.
Seeing Ruan Chi's arrival, he showed a warm smile and said, "Welcome, Brother Ruan Chi." ”
Seeing the smile on Tang Shide's face, Ruan Chi had a bad premonition, and waved his hand and said, "I came this time to receive the reward given to me by Uncle Duncan, but Donald, you tell me with this expression, it doesn't seem to be a good thing." ”
"Little ghost, what kind of attitude do you have to talk to the boss." Duncan listened and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"Don't say that." Tang Shi stopped Duncan, and then said to Ruan Chi: "Actually, Brother Ruan Chi, you guessed right, let you come this time, we are right to ask for something, and it is related to the future of the human race......"
Before Tang Shide's words were finished, Ruan Chi on this side had already interrupted: "Don't be, I really have no interest in getting involved in your affairs anymore, what's more, you are now a wanted criminal, a rebel of the Federation, I don't want to be wanted like you."
