Chapter 172: You and I seem to be alone
"Co-author, you two told me so much just for this?"
"Just kidding, if you don't make this clear, how can you go to the banquet with me." Jiu Jiu pinched the corner of his skirt and turned around, the expression on his face made Su Xiao feel like he had been fooled.
"To a feast?"
"That's what I said earlier about the quick fix." Jiujiu didn't hurry to bring a string of bracelets, and there was a faint smugness in his eyes.
"Banquet, what does it have to do with quickly mastering the Qi of the Yuan Spirit?"
"Now that you know that the moment a student dies will produce thoughts, and thoughts can bring you an increase in strength, do you need me to say more about the way to improve quickly?"
Su Xiao sat up from the sofa all of a sudden, and then was pressed back by Linlu.
"You're saying we're going somewhere where a lot of cadets are killed?"
"It's us who make death." Jiujiu didn't go around the bend, but chose to tell Su Xiao the most authentic side directly.
"The grand feast of death, that's what we're here for."
Jiujiu thought that Su Xiao would do some inner struggle, and at the same time he doubted and feared himself.
But Su Xiao's brain circuit is obviously different from that of a normal person: "Since you're going to fight, are you still dressed like this?" ”
“……”
“……”
The air in the room suddenly became quiet. It took a long time for Jiujiu to break the embarrassment with a smile.
"It's you, it's really different from others."
"Someone else?" Su Xiao keenly discovered the loopholes between Jiujiu's words, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Naturally, it's those sanctimonious temple people." Jiujiu's words were very soft, but there was a kind of bitter coldness, as if there was some secret.
"So what's your choice?" Jiujiu smiled and stretched out his hand to Su Xiao, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes, revealing a blurry light.
Su Xiao sighed, and instead of answering directly, he asked rhetorically, "You also have the means to collect thoughts." ”
"Yes." Jiu Jiu nodded lightly, still smiling like a flower, but his hand quietly shrank back a few inches.
"Then if I go with you, will it affect your absorption of thoughts?"
Jiu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then guessed what Su Xiao was thinking, and smiled softly:
"Although Nian is ethereal and cannot be discovered by ordinary people, it is a real energy body, so it is unique."
"Then I'm not going." Su Xiao showed a reassuring smile and gently shook Jiujiu's hand.
"I've just absorbed a lot of thoughts before, and I haven't completely digested them yet."
"So I'd better stay at home and practice."
Before Su Xiao let go of his hand, Linlu angrily grabbed him back: "This is not your home, you guy who eats and drinks and pretends to have a deep mother-son relationship." ”
Su Xiao: ......
Jiujiu: ...... ヽ(`⌒′)?
After a lot of trouble, Jiujiu also gave up his plan to go out hunting, and was ready to practice Su Xiao's melee combat with Linlu.
However, when the three of them were eating dessert, Linlu inadvertently glanced at the bracelet, his face instantly became serious, and he looked at Su Xiao with a complicated expression.
"What's going on?" Su Xiao frowned slightly, with a sense of foreboding.
And Linlu pursed his lips, glanced at Jiujiu, and said in a low voice: "Qiyue has an accident." ”
Su Xiao looked like he didn't care on the surface, and said with a faint smile; "What does it have to do with me, everyone is just classmates. But now that the academy is gone, the love of classmates is meaningless. ”
Although the words were very relaxed, the crushed cup in Su Xiao's hand revealed his true thoughts.
"There's no need to hide anything." Jiujiu held Su Xiao's hand with a smile on his face and took out the fragment of the cup in his hand.
"It's human nature. And it's about us. ”
"Something to do with us?" Su Xiao looked at Linlu with a puzzled face, but put down his right hand under the table and quietly clenched his fist.
"The message of the temple's advanced channel is in the special text for experiments, I can't understand it, but Qiyue's name is in the original text. In addition, there are some special words that indicate that the month is dangerous. ”
Looking at the words that Linlu displayed like a book from heaven, Su Xiao rubbed his eyes with a headache, and gave up his plan to use his meager linguistic knowledge to decipher the meaning.
"Even if we know that Qiyue is in danger, and we don't know her location, what can we do?"
"To prevent them from killing a rifle. Su Hui quietly left a positioning message on the person in charge at that time. ”
"That's the usual message format for the Knights of the Holy Dreams, and I activated this hidden message just now, revealing that his location is in a deserted town."
"A deserted town?" Hearing this special place name, Su Xiao's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "What are they doing in a deserted town?" ”
It's no wonder Su Xiao is so nervous. After all, in the hearts of the vast majority of Shengdu people, a deserted town is no different from a morgue.
The mutants who can't control their own power, the failures of various bloodline experiments, and the messy monsters and people left behind by the ancient empire are all mixed together, making people reluctant to go.
What is even more fearful is the land of the barren town, and although the glory of God also shines here, it cannot erase the evil in this land.
Although the details of the time are no longer known, leaving only strange urban legends, this land that has bred countless filth and sin has become a forbidden place for the vast majority of the residents of the Holy Capital.
Of course, the most important point is that the deserted town has a peculiar magnetic field interference, not to mention the bracelet, even the walkie-talkie left over from ancient times will lose its effectiveness.
As for why there are no personal computers and communication networks, Su Xiao is also quite puzzling, and in the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that people in this world are not smart enough.
Lin Lu and Jiujiu naturally didn't have a good impression of the deserted town, after all, with the cleanliness of their love, going to such a dirty place would be more uncomfortable than dying
"The decision is yours." Jiu Jiu sat on the sofa, looking graceful and luxurious, looking quite indifferent.
"There are some things that can't be escaped." Linlu didn't care about helping Su Xiao make a decision.
"Last time, she wanted to return the favor to you, which shows that she has no ill will towards you."
"So let's go check it out and collect thoughts by the way. You were caught hunting by the temple law enforcement team. ”
Looking at the sadness in Linlu's eyes, Jiu Jiu seemed to understand something, and said with a sweet smile: "Since that's the case, then let's go to the deserted town to have a look, and someone in the province is hesitant." Two to one, so decided. ”
Seeing the attitude of the two, Su Xiao was no longer entangled, and bowed to the two women seriously, but was rejected by Linlu in disgust.
"If you kowtow, do we have to wrap you in a red envelope?"
Su Xiao smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and looked solemnly in the direction of the barren town.
Just as he was about to shout a slogan to express his determination, he was dragged back by Linlu.
"You see the other way around, the deserted town is over there."
