Chapter 98: The Executioner
"The girl is in favor, Ji Da is against." Ling You pondered for a moment, "I'm sorry, but I still can't guarantee that the infected person will be able to keep his senses, even if that person was once my companion. ”
Unable to explain the truth to the public concretely, Qiu Xuan shrugged his shoulders in understanding and stopped trying to say more. The rest of the people then expressed their stance one after another, some of them remembered their old feelings and refused to give up their companions, and some of them were selfless and decisive like Ender. In fact, these people cannot be said to be ruthless, but they have made another choice in the face of danger, and such people are also needed in a team, responsible for themselves and the rest of the people.
The current result of the vote is that the majority of people agree with Su Su staying in the team, while Ji Da, who has become an infector, has different opinions. When it was the last person's turn, the votes dramatically stayed at twenty to twenty, and for a moment all eyes were focused on the last option.
The old man sat cross-legged and rolled his eyelids lazily. "There's nothing to say, Lao Tzu voted for double ......"
Qiu Xuan: "Ahem! ”
"Tsk, I said I'm going to ...... double"
Qiu Xuan: "Ahem, cough, cough!" ”
Old man: "......"
"Then why don't you vote for Lao Tzu?" The old man finally looked up and glared at her as if he couldn't bear it anymore, "Isn't it good to disappear, why do you respond to Lao Tzu as soon as you come back?" ”
"I'm just reminding you to figure it out before you decide." Qiu Xuan stood next to Ji Da, with seriousness written on his face, "Lest you regret it then." ”
"Regrets? Ha, Lao Tzu doesn't know how to write the word regret. Come on, I'm going to see if you have enough reasons to convince me. ”
"The reason is simple, it's nothing more than a few points. First, although I can't be specific, I can guarantee in my own name that Ji Da will not lose his mind like ordinary infected people. Second, the gradual development of infecting humans into humans is a direction worth studying, and in the case of Susu, maybe it is another prototype of evolution, and we can take it to the Academy of Sciences for further progress. Third, please. ”
“…… What did you say, you just said the third, what is it? ”
Qiu Xuan looked at him expressionlessly: "Please." ”
Geezer:......
Qin Jiuyuan: ??!!!
The old man was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he burst out laughing. "You've got it today, that's really ...... Haha, rejoice! But this trick is useless to tell you, do you know what Lao Tzu did before, the corpses I have seen ......"
Qiu Xuan: "Please." ”
“…… More than anyone you've ever met, there was once an undercover agent who wanted to induce Lao Tzu to betray you, and you know that his final outcome was ......"
Qiu Xuan: "Please." ”
“…… What, he was shot in the head by Lao Tzu and thrown to a mass grave and then ......"
Qiu Xuan: "Please." ”
"That's all you can say, little madman!" He yelled in exasperation.
"Seeking ......"
"Yes yes, double yes! Don't bother Lao Tzu anymore!! ”
Qiu Xuan simply shut up, and together with the healing mage known as Mr. Yang, he stepped forward to roughly check the condition of Su Su in a coma, and after watching the person move into the car, he patted Ji Da on the shoulder: "Let's go." ”
The old man immediately scolded and got into the car, and sat alone and went to autism. Everyone present looked at each other, and then hurriedly returned to their respective posts with Qin Jiuyuan's stinky face, "Why are you stunned, hurry up and get in the car".
When the sky was slightly white, the team that was marching along the Wei River all the way to Nobeli finally ended all the emergencies and chaos and got back on track.
Listening to Shuying and others around him discuss and summarize the events after being pulled into the past time, Qiu Xuan and Ji Da sat on a chair far away from the crowd - in order to discuss the countermeasures with the so-called "safe distance" from the infected Ji Da - their eyes wandered towards the scenery speeding by outside the window. She suddenly remembered that when the elemental vortex left by the powerful and mysterious magician finally reappeared on the 88th floor, Elmetra was slowly stepping over Mr. Fu's corpse, and at that moment, the scarlet pupils that were extremely similar to Mr. Fu pierced through the crowd and pinned straight to Hengxie's body.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the speed of the mana element caused her brain to roar so violently that she didn't have time to distinguish the shape of her mouth.
And when her thoughts were interrupted again, she heard a deliberate and sweet female voice shouting "Mr. Qin". Looking back, the mercenary group on the second floor seemed to have finished a small impromptu meeting, and was walking downstairs in twos and threes.
The person in Lin Mo's mouth was at the forefront, and he seemed to glance up inadvertently, his eyes blending with each other in the air.
The man walked over and sat on the sofa in Ji Daqiuxuan's row with very natural steps, as if the "safe distance protocol" was farting.
"Everyone," Qin Jiuyuan's eyes swept over the crowd sitting around, "Our people have already discussed it just now, and now the original general direction remains the same, and it is still along the Wei River all the way to the main city. However, the bad news is that today is August 15th. ”
Qiu Xuan paused, and found that when this word was mentioned, the faces of a considerable number of people present were a little unpleasant.
"The modified mechanical vehicle has the ability to travel in water, and can withstand the pressure of more than 10,000 tons, and there is no problem with ordinary wading. But the problem is that now we are not just facing an ordinary wading river, but the high tide season of the Wei River. ”
As if noticing something, the next second Qin Jiuyuan suddenly deliberately slowed down his speech, changed his cold and solemn appearance before, and began to talk about the natural common sense issues that elementary school students in the Steam Continent all knew.
"As a river that traverses almost most of the land, the Wei River has two high tides throughout the year. One at the beginning of the new year, and once at the end of August, that is, in the week beginning tomorrow. Countless people have died in the tide in previous years, and neither mechanics nor magicians can do anything in the face of such a catastrophe. Over the years, the two major organizations have done a good job of fighting floods and evacuating people before the tide, but this year, you know, the end times are coming. ”
His tone was extremely calm, and even when he said something like "The end of the world is coming", he was as indifferent as if he were not a resident of the Steam Age.
Affiliation of belonging. Qiu Xuan once again perceived this word in Qin Jiuyuan, the same as he felt in Blizzard Mountain Villa - the aborigines of any world, whether they love or hate this world, you can always feel a sense of belonging in them, because they were born to belong here, and what is engraved in their bones and blood cannot be buried.
But Qin Jiuyuan is different, Qiu Xuan has never felt his "sense of belonging" in any world, he is like an outsider who is always out of it, maintaining a distance that is not close or far away, watching the world struggle in the world.
Is it because as Xiao Lu said, Qin Jiuyuan is the "executioner" of the ruler?
Qiu Xuan suddenly became deeply curious about the Dominator.
