Chapter 373: A Little Partner
"Then Shen Ni said that I was doing a good job and that I could make a lot of money this way. His behavior suddenly reminded me of the tall man who hit me back then, and the tall man had such an expression after he grabbed me. Now, Shen Mu even showed such an expression. ”
"He smiled, and he laughed very happily."
"Over the next few days, he discussed something with the other magicians and handed over that little brother to me to look after."
"I wish I could do my job as well as I could, because the other magicians were already making me feel uncomfortable looking at me. But inside the guild, I couldn't have wiped their necks with a knife, and if I behaved the slightest bit inappropriately, they would beat me up. ”
"I watched over this little brother, and the little brother kept talking to me. At first, he seemed scared and kept begging me to let him go. But after a few days, he probably saw that I was so young and a girl, and he was no longer so afraid of me, and started talking to me. ”
"He talked to me a lot, a lot, and I almost forgot what he said. At that time, I was very nervous, and I always felt that he would find a way to escape. ”
"But over time, I don't think this little brother looks so threatening. I also started talking to him. ”
"He said he was safe because his father was powerful, so he could definitely get him out. Then, he asked me if I was also kidnapped. And let me not be afraid. ”
"Ridiculous? He, the kidnapper, even advised me, the kidnapper, not to be afraid. ”
After that, he started talking to me about all sorts of things. Most of them are stories from his books. Gradually, I also began to like the feeling of being with this little brother, because I could hear many, many interesting stories from his mouth. It was also from that time that I began to feel that if one day he didn't like me, I wouldn't need to wipe his neck. Because even if he likes me again after wiping his neck, he can't talk to me anymore. ”
In this way, I went from carefully watching him to taking the initiative to chat with this little brother every day. He told me about his dream, he said that he wanted to become a powerful swordsman, to be able to become a brave one day, to be at the forefront of facing the demon king! It's just a pity that his physique seems to be a little weak by nature, let alone becoming a swordsman, even if he picks up a sword and wields it, he will be tired enough to choke. ”
"For a while, I began to worry a little about my little brother's physical condition. But it seems that he is in good condition, because they eat a lot of delicious food for this little brother every day, and the little brother will give me a little bit of these things when he sees me. At that time, I thought that this little brother would definitely become my good friend. ”
"And then the day ......"
"The mud took me with me, and let me watch that little brother being thrown into the oil pan in front of me and fried."
“…………”
“…………”
“…………”
"I didn't react."
"Under the power of the mud and those magicians, I didn't even have time to cry and shout."
"The only thing I could see and hear was this little brother struggling in that oil pot, listening to his heart-rending screams."
Then I watched as the flesh on his body rotted little by little, and the white bones were refined little by little. When the fire in the oil pot was extinguished, the magicians began to chant incantations that I didn't understand at all, and the boiled molten flesh of the little brother began to condense in mid-air, and finally turned the color of gold. ”
They were delighted and shouted at the golden ball. They walked away with this golden ball of flesh and blood, and I don't know what they were doing. But I could see the pan...... I could see inside the oil pan that my little brother's skull was facing me, his bones so white that they barely looked like those dirty mass grave bones. ”
"But looking at this skull, for the first time in my life...... I felt scared. ”
Arrow exhaled, the current situation gave him some headaches.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "So...... Xiaobai is ......"
Napa: "Did they refine it?" Real alchemy?! ”
The cat is clearly more concerned about the development of this magic than the complex feelings of humans. It unceremoniously interrupted Arrow's question, rushing up to Coco and asking it aloud.
Coco was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "If they had succeeded, the economy of this world would have collapsed long ago, right?" The president's brother said. ”
Arrow smiled and nodded slightly.
Coco tilted her head and continued, "Later, I learned that the True Eye didn't kidnap this little brother by accident. There are some powerful people behind this guild, and on the other hand, the True Eye may itself be a tool used by those powerful to fight political opponents, and to do things that are not seen. I've heard that the boss behind them is a mild-mannered man. ”
"The father of the little brother seems to have paid a lot of money, and that's not all, because of the disappearance of this little brother, his father seems to have missed a bill or something like that because he was in a hurry, which led to a complete political rout. I also overheard about these things later, but Shen Ni told me that I didn't need to care about this kind of thing at all, as long as I worked hard to complete the work arranged by the guild. ”
"I'm starting to feel scared, but I don't really have anywhere to go except with the True Eye...... And the bones of the little brother ...... That's the only thing I can do for him. ”
"Next, I started to be a little resistant to continuing to work for the True Eye. But many times I don't have a choice...... As I resisted for longer, the mud began to sense my mind and began to ask me to act with him every time I went on a mission. What's more...... Every once in a while, he began to cut my fingers open, saying that he would take my blood for research. ”
"I have lived in a state of confusion for two years, and in the course of two years, I have watched many children who are older than me, younger than me, brought into the eyes of truth in various ways, and then, without exception, they are all served with good food and drink, until one day they suddenly enter the oil pot."
"And the number of times the mud cuts my fingers seems to be more and more frequent, and at one point, I even secretly saw him take my blood, draw a magic circle on the ground, and then start chanting the incantation of necromancy diligently!"
"Obviously, he failed, but only because what he summoned was a lump of mud mixed with bones, full of filth and twisted feelings."
"He was obviously not reconciled to this failure, so he came to me more often and asked me for blood, and sometimes I refused to give it, and he even began to threaten me directly with a knife."
"I'm scared...... However, these days in the eyes of the truth have also made my heart very firm. He threatened to kill me, so I immediately took out a knife and put it to my neck, telling him that if he wanted to kill without him, I could solve myself myself! ”
"It's really funny, he scared me with a knife, but when he saw me holding a knife to his neck, he was scared? Instead, he stopped threatening me. ”
"It's really funny to think about, isn't it? For some time afterward, I refused to give him blood, and he did not force him. Just smiling at me again, as if he could get what he wanted if he smiled at me long enough. ”
"Until one day ......"
"He's bringing me a newborn black dog."
"It was my birthday, and it was as if he was casting a spatial magic, and he put that little black dog in front of me all at once."
"I was very wary, but I was only ten years old at the time, and when I saw this little black dog, I was so stunned that I forgot to put a knife to my throat."
And when the little black dog saw me, he was not afraid of me at all, but came over and licked my palm. It's a really interesting feeling. ”
"Shen Ni said it was my birthday present, and I was so happy at that time. Without even thinking about it, he agreed to his request to give him a little blood. ”
"That time, this magician was like a night clan, greedily pumping my blood. I was careless, too, and I didn't have time to stop it. ”
"I'm sure if it weren't for my usefulness at the time, he would have drained all the blood out of me. It wasn't until I was about to pass out that he finally realized that he wanted me to stay alive, so he stopped drawing my blood and gave me something to eat. ”
"At that time, I was very weak and very cold. But Blackie got into my arms and licked my face. At that moment, I felt a sympathetic connection between me and it. I know that it will be my best friend, a life that can be my best friend without me wiping its neck. ”
"After having Xiao Hei, my mood has improved a lot. Don't they all say that pets can make people happy? Every time I encounter something unhappy outside, see something cruel, as long as I go back to my room and see Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei hugs, I can feel very relaxed. ”
"I think if you have to stay in the True Eye, then as long as there is Blackie, everything doesn't seem so bad......"
"Until ......"
