Chapter 195: The obsession that can't be let go
“…… So, are they telling the truth? The girl, who seemed to be from a privileged family, was silent for a moment before asking, "Is this really a death game?" I...... We can't go back, can we? ”
"Hmm."
"But why us?" The man in the leather jacket also turned his head to join the conversation. "I have been in my world so well, and I have no one to offend, why did I suddenly come to such a place without warning?"
"It's all the same, that's how I came here before." Qiu Xuan sat with those newcomers under the strange and contemptuous gaze of some people, and her tone was surprisingly patient, and even listened carefully with a little tenderness. "I can't give you much experience as a person who has come before, I can only say, if you want, try to become stronger and live, that's all."
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly, one of the four newcomers, a girl who seemed to be still studying, buried her head and let out a sobbing sound that she tried to suppress. The voice was like a contagious virus dropped, and for a moment, a wordless panic spread between the four of them.
“…… So you—Will you help us? The girl from a privileged family hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Ai Ai Ai in this way, and as her words fell, the other three all cast their eyes of secret hope. Facing such an almost desperate gaze, Qiu Xuan sighed, and finally said, "I'm sorry." ”
"If I see it, I'll help if I can. But I'm really hard to protect myself now, so the way forward, everyone depends on their abilities. ”
She didn't promise anything like she would help, partly because she explained the reason, and partly because she still hadn't completely cleared the four of them from her mind.
The captain said that something would be mixed in with the last docking of supplies, and that "it" would bring catastrophic near-destruction to the Fool's ship.
Qiu Xuan had no way of knowing what this "doom of destruction" meant, but the screening range of twenty-one people was difficult to say whether it was easy to say that it was simple.
- Perhaps killing them all would be the simplest and most effective solution.
But people still have to leave a bottom line after all.
She sighed, her left hand on her unhealed abdomen at an angle that no one was looking, staring at the melee on the other side and ceasing to speak.
"Isn't the injury healing? Well, you have a good rest, and when the meeting is almost over, we will come to your side, and we will stand together. Lao Liang took the time to take a look here during the fight, and said something similar to what Jiao Guancheng had said. Qiu Xuan said "Okay, okay" with a full mouth, while aiming in the direction, avoiding the eyes and ears of the group members, stood up and raised his feet in the other direction.
"Are you leaving?"
The man in the leather coat hurriedly looked back at her, and this sentence attracted the attention of the remaining newcomers. Qiu Xuan didn't see the last hope in their eyes, waved his hand with his back to him, and walked towards the location of the restaurant.
Liu Qing was standing around the corner of the door waiting for her.
"What's the matter, hasn't Bai Hexi come yet?" After scanning the deck, he didn't see Bai Hexi's shadow, and now Qiu Xuan was really wondering what he had to do if he had to leave Liu Qing behind.
"The vice president has his own business, let me come to you first."
"Tsk, this person is too unreliable." Originally, Qiu Xuan clasped his arms and wanted to condemn him with Liu Qing, but halfway through the words, he saw that Liu Qing suddenly remembered something, and his expression darkened for a moment.
"I vaguely heard...... It's just that I heard it, it's not necessarily true, don't tell the vice president! ”
Qiu Xuan silently touched a piece of jackapple nailed with iron nails from the self-service window of the restaurant and began to eat and listen.
"The vice president used to seem to have joined Lin Yuan because of the vice president of Lin Yuan.,Ah, I'm sorry I said a little messy.,So let's use my real name in the future.。 Before Mr. Bai became the vice president of Linyuan, he chose to join because of the original vice president of Linyuan. ”
"Miss Jiang mentioned it to me before, saying that the old people in Linyuan knew that Mr. Bai was frantically pursuing the vice president at that time, but the vice president didn't seem to want to fall in love because of his own situation. Later, the vice president went to the proving ground by herself, but when she returned, it was like ...... Crazy as well. ”
"Crazy?" Qiu Xuan munched on the pineapple inarticulately, appropriately giving a little response to the narrator's interaction.
"Well," Liu Qing frowned and nodded, "At that time, she had done countless full sets of recovery treatments and physical examinations, but the answer she came up with was that there was no harm except for a few wounds on the surface of the skin. And the vice president seemed to have lost his mind, although everyone still knew him, but he locked himself in his room all day long, and kept muttering words that no one could understand. At that time, Mr. Bai and the president went to invite many famous executioners who majored in healing in desperate situations, but no one could solve this situation. ”
"After that, it dragged on for a long time, until the deadline for the next trial ground arrived, and the vice president had to teleport again. Everyone made an appointment that in the early morning of the last day, the president and Mr. Bai personally accompanied her to the trial ground. But when the deadline for the last day came, the agreed place was empty, and when they hurried to the affairs center, they found that the vice president had gone to the trial ground by himself. ”
Qiu Xuan nodded indiscriminately, grinned and covered the left side of his face that was suddenly soured by jackapple to the point of toothache, hurriedly poured a mouthful of pineapple juice, and was astringent again. "I think I've been able to guess what's next."
"Well," Liu Qing lowered her eyelashes, "and then, she never came back." ”
"You know, there is a gap between the time in the general trial ground and the time of desperation, usually a trial of more than ten and a half months is often less than a day in a desperate situation. But that time, they waited from the early morning to the next early morning, for a month and a half, and when the deadline for their next trial was up, they had to teleport, and the vice president still did not come back. ”
"Actually, this situation is very common, and everyone is always prepared. We all know that the vice president is dead and can't come back, but Mr. Bai is still stubbornly waiting, and no one can persuade him. When one day finally came, I don't know what he thought about it, the chairman announced that Mr. Bai would become the vice president of Linyuan, and then ...... And then it has always been like this. ”
"You may think that Mr. Bai is sometimes very unreliable with a hippie smile, but I always feel and feel ...... Alas. Liu Qing sighed, didn't continue, and said, "The reason why Mr. Bai took me through this trial ground this time is because the former vice president at that time became wrong when he was conducting the 'ignorance' trial. Mr. Bai has been waiting for someone to draw the Ignorance Proving Ground so that he can thoroughly investigate what happened back then. ”
Didn't eat too much, Qiu Xuan rolled down her throat, and choked a little for a while.
"So, I don't blame Mr. Bai for leaving me alone. On the contrary, if this is true, I hope that he can find out the truth as soon as possible so that the former vice president can rest in peace. ”
Liu Qing said this, looking into the distance. Suddenly remembered something and told her again: "That, don't tell the vice president!" ”
"Yes." Qiu Xuan nodded, then drank the remaining liquid in the cup in one gulp, and pulled Liu Qing towards the crowd wielding a big sword.
"Yavet." A few people shouted the woman's name, and the young knight lady turned around, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and carried the great sword on her body.
"Where have you been, I'm looking for you everywhere, this is ......"
"My friend, please cover her too." Qiu Xuan patted Liu Qing's shoulder, and the latter timidly glanced at the big sword on the woman's shoulder and whispered hello.
"Tsk, why are you still dragging your family." Avet frowned and swept around the two of them, but still seemed impatiently agreed. "Okay, okay, got it. But let's talk about it first, I can only repay you until the next time you dock, don't think it's so easy to find a free bodyguard. ”
"Don't worry." Qiu Xuan pulled Liu Qing forward to stand with her, and quietly took out a machine gun with her right hand and hit the side waist of a sneak attack executioner behind her. "There's no next time, this is the last time the Fool's ship docks, and if you want to get past the last fifty, you'll have to hurry."
"What do you say......"
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure suddenly approached their group at a rapid pace. Avet raised her eyebrows and wanted to swing her sword, but the next second she heard the sharp bell ring, and the sailors stepped on the plank of the return ship.
At the moment when the bell rang, several other black shadows suddenly rushed over at a speed that everyone didn't expect. Looking at it intently, Qiu Xuan blinked, and it was rare to fall into silence.
On the other side of the deck, Jiao Guancheng and the others were still looking for her position, and Qiu Xuan lowered her eyes to avoid their gaze, before finally taking a deep breath and turning to the teammates she was facing in the final round.
The members of this group were: Ya Vette, Liu Qing, Qin Jiuyuan, who came from nowhere, and the four newcomers who had just entered the trial ground.
No matter who it is, it can always have the strength to fight with those big guys. Anyway, this score task is not simply a force value, and it is really difficult to rank first, but at least it is not an impossible thing to complete.
- Compared to the unreliable thing that needed a Leviathan's heart to fix the pendant box, it was relatively easy to be first.
“…… That's, I'm sorry, it's just that they're all not that friendly. "Of the four newcomers, the girl who seems to be from a privileged family is the first to hesitate." I know I'm sorry for causing you guys. But we also want to live. ”
"Who here doesn't want to live?" Qin Jiuyuan stood in Qiu Xuan and sneered, and said sarcastically: "Knowing that you are a trouble, do you still insist on dragging others into the water?" ”
"Do you have a little sympathy, why do you talk like that!" Another young man in a baseball uniform said indignantly, "Everyone is human, aren't you also from newcomers?" Why do you have to do this when you can help something? ”
"You're really wrong, brother." Qiu Xuan withdrew the machine gun into the accompanying space, and stepped forward to the side in front of Qin Jiuyuan. "When we came from the newcomers, we all walked alone on the tightrope, and if someone was willing to lend a hand at this time, it would be grateful. But if someone looks at him coldly, we will not condemn him with such moral standards, after all, whether or not to help you is just love, not our obligation. ”
"You, you...... You were still ...... just now."
"Alright." Eventually, the man in the leather jacket, who had been silent, interrupted him, and then took a deep look at the others. "We know, but after all, we're all in a group now, and we'll try not to lag behind."
Liu Qing sighed and accepted the step they handed him. "Then let's work together."
"Today! What a beautiful weather it is, suitable for going to sea! Perfect for a potluck! Good for sunbathing! ”
Less than ten minutes after the Ship of Fools left the harbor to set sail again, the people who had just finished the final round of grouping were about to return to the rest room when they heard voices coming from far and near the cabin.
With the nice tapping sound of small sheepskin shoes touching the wooden deck, a man in a full suit in the uniform wide white robe of the madmen walked towards the crowd.
"Everyone!" His voice was a nice, rich broadcast cavity, a bit like what people heard on the ship's radio when the radio room was not enclosed. "Such a wonderful moment! Such a beautiful time cannot be wasted! So let's go fishing, everyone! ”
Qiu Xuan wordlessly raised her eyes for a moment to look at the gray and ugly sky that looked like she had just swallowed a hundred dead fish alive, and temporarily reserved her opinion on this so-called "beautiful weather".
By the way, she secretly rubbed her elbow and gently slapped Qin Jiuyuan. "Yo, why didn't Brother Yuan go to the old team, didn't you say that it's the same everywhere, why did you come here?"
Qin Jiuyuan glanced at her helplessly. "I'm afraid that I won't come to see you again, and the next time we meet again, it's time for me to kneel on the ground and cry and beg you not to die."
"Would you do that?"
"If you dare to die, I will dare to disgrace you like this."
"Not necessarily."
The madman with a nice voice opened his arms as if to feel the "warm sunshine", and for a moment, he lowered his arms and smiled at the public.
"Everyone! Scores are calculated according to the live creatures caught, and no matter how big or small, one corresponds to 100 points! If someone is able to catch the 'Mystery Jackpot', they will be rewarded with 1,000 points at once! - So now, the game begins! ”
