Chapter 20: Severed Fingers
The whole town.
Jue and Han Qingluo, they seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The Bloodborns searched every nook and cranny of the dung cans and garbage heaps, but found no trace of them.
On the other side, Rose, who had returned from the seaside village, arrived at the town at a gallop.
He looked at the rotten bracelet that glowed red on his wrist, the corners of his lips curled upward, and he hid the bracelet in his wide sleeve. Continue to ride the horse forward.
The bloodline who was deliberately released by Bach had already told Loris that the bracelet had been snatched by a mysterious person.
As an example, Loris executed the derelict Bloodline on the spot.
And warn all his subordinates that dereliction of duty is a dead end.
And for now, she can only hope that Rose, who arrived not long ago, and that he will bring good news.
In the blink of an eye, the sky turned white.
The coming day is not for the Bloodlines to continue their activities.
Loris then summoned everyone to get out of the way before making a decision. Anyway, she failed this time, and there was a plan to get Jue to take the initiative to come to her again.
Before dawn.
Loris waited for the person she was looking forward to.
It's just that the man was scarred all over his body, and he looked like he had been through a fierce battle.
"Rose, what's wrong with you?"
Loris knew this, but she still had to feign doubt.
Rose laughed at her pretentiousness in her heart, and pretended to be weak, and sat down on the edge of the bed with her insincere support, and evened out his breath.
"It's just a small injury, adults don't have to worry about me!"
"Have you found the rotten bracelet?"
Loris was polite for a moment, and finally couldn't help but tell her true intentions.
Rose was silent for a while and nodded: "Not only has it been recovered, but it has also brought good news!" ”
Loris shook his hand excitedly: "Great, where's the rotten bracelet?" As he spoke, he began to rummage through Rose's body.
Rose's brow furrowed almost invisibly, a look of disgust in his eyes, and he leaned in, deliberately avoiding her unmeasured hands.
"Don't worry, let me finish the good news first, will you?"
Loris realized that she had lost her temper, smiled awkwardly, and withdrew her hand.
"I'm sorry, Rose, you say it first."
"According to the reaction of the rotten bracelet, the sacrifice should still be in the city, and the traitor should also be with her, so don't worry about the search and arrest, we will definitely be able to catch them by setting up additional personnel at the two city gates!"
Rose said, revealing the rotten bracelet on his wrist, which was emitting a bright red light, echoing the mark on the ring finger of Han Qing's left hand.
"It's hard work." With a greedy look, Loris reached out to remove the rotten bracelet from Rose's wrist and put it on her wrist as it should.
She looked at each other stupidly: "When the great cause is completed, I will definitely give you a promotion, so that you can enjoy the happiness of power with me!" ”
Rose despised her greedy face, and sure enough, the bright roses were all thorny, and Glores's one was not only thorny but also poisonous, and it was impossible to touch.
"Thank you, my lord, Rose remembers your kindness!"
After another false courtesy, Loris finally left the room with her waist twisted contentedly.
Rose glanced at his tattered and messy clothes, and chuckled: Rose, Rose, for the sake of acting, you are really cruel to yourself!
However, if you are not ruthless, how can you survive in this world of the jungle?
——
in the basement.
Han Qingluo, who had just undergone surgery, collapsed in his chair.
She felt like a puddle of mud, completely sunk in her chair, unable to move.
Mentally and physically exhausted.
Intense tiredness swept through every cell in her body like a tornado, and they screamed, transmitting sleepiness to her brain.
Just when Jue was putting the finishing touches on her, she had closed her heavy eyes and fell asleep.
Galo was also so tired from the pain of his injuries that he fell asleep.
For a moment, the basement was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
There was only the sound of Jue squirming and squirming to clean up the surgical tools. Lillian sat quietly and couldn't do anything because of her eye problems.
……
"Ahh
An earth-shattering roar shattered the silence of the basement.
With this shout, all the surgical tools on the tray fell to the ground with a "clang".
Han Qingluo woke up from his sleep, his face was hideous in pain, and he raised his left hand suddenly.
The marked ring finger was gradually getting hot, turning red, until it became transparent, and strange and complex red textures emerged from under her skin.
Jue came to her side in an instant, and his tone was anxious: "Hold back!" ”
But how can the pain be endured?
I felt that the whole finger was as hot and painful as if it had been submerged in magma, and the whole palm was hot and stinging, and the bone-eating pain even extended to the entire arm.
"Good...... Pain! Han Qingluo knelt on the ground, his face distorted, and he gasped for breath.
Jue hurriedly brought her a basin of cold water: "Hurry up and put the water inside!" ”
This water was like a life-saving straw, and Han Qingluo hurriedly put his hand into it.
I don't know if it was the psychological effect or the cool water played a role, and the pain was slightly lessened.
However, the symptoms were not cured, and the pain could not alleviate the pain that Han Qingluo was suffering after the water temperature rose slightly.
"No way!" Han Qingluo shook his head, "You have to find a flowing river." ”
"Sister...... Lilian couldn't do anything, she could only do it in a hurry, constantly comforting her with words, and raised her hands helplessly.
"But, if you go out, they'll definitely find you." Galo, who was awakened by the strange noise, stood up in pain and looked at her on her knees with concern.
Damn, why is the reaction still there?
Gloris, you slut! I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!
Dead mother-in-law, don't let the old lady get out of the city quickly!
……
The pain seemed to be contagious, making her muscles tense all over her body, cold sweat quickly wet her underwear, and her brain seemed to float, swaying.
Han Qingluo couldn't speak at this time, so he could only curse the culprit silently in his heart.
……
"Break your fingers."
An extremely cold-blooded sentence came out of Jue's mouth. His face was like an ancient well without waves, and his purple-golden eyes were staring at Han Qingluo who was lying on the ground.
"Jue, are you crazy?" As soon as Galo was excited, he jumped up from the bed and lay back with his teeth bared because of the pain of the wound.
"Mr. Jue......" Lilian shouted Jue in disbelief with her eyes wide and dark, her tone full of confusion and anger, "How can you treat your sister like this?" ”
It was the first time she had lost her temper in front of everyone.
Hearing Jue's words, Han Qingluo was not surprised at all, but wanted to thank him, because his words made the idea that had already germinated in her heart come down.
Perhaps, he has already seen his truest thoughts!
"Can you help me?" Han Qingluo gasped, raised his head to look at Jue, and barely pulled out an ugly smile on his hideous face.
She didn't want Jue to feel uncomfortable.
The lips opened lightly, Jue looked at the firmness in Han Qingluo's eyes, and confided the word "can" for a while.
In the eyes of outsiders, Jue is ruthless, but there is no torment in his heart.
As for Han Qingluo, he couldn't say anything about her feelings.
From the beginning, she came into his sight as a sacrifice, as a bargaining chip for the Alliance, and once he would play tricks on her for fun.
Gradually, after a short time together, he found that this otherworldly spirit was interesting and had more potential value to be explored.
He wanted to get to know her more deeply, for the sake of his supreme interests within the party, for his great ideals.
But when she was on the verge of death for the first time, why did he suffer?
Is it because she is a bargaining chip in the league and can't make any mistakes? Or because he had long been accustomed to her presence.
He thought about it seriously since that day, maybe it was the former.
After she and Kim were together.
He thought that he and her were just using each other.
Moreover, when she approached Kim, she seemed to have violated his own interests, and what he did not allow happened, and he felt angry and betrayed, and there was an unexplained discomfort.
Later, he gradually compromised and accepted the fact that they were together, and his state of mind became calm, yes, without any waves.
He saw the position between the two sides, a passer-by who had existed in the Night Castle for three years. And his own feelings for her, only the most clear and clear relationship with the user.
And this relationship was even clearer when she made a big fuss about the Christmas night dinner.
So he asked her to make it clear that in order to prevent more mistakes from happening, sometimes a little ruthlessness can make the benefits bigger.
She is a woman with a backbone.
Jue admitted.
In those three years, she only talked to him about interests.
Peaceful coexistence, bounded and wired......
However, he felt that those three years were so long and boring......
It was the most boring day of his eternal long life, which was hard to forget.
He occasionally remembered that time with her, and he thought it was a pleasure for a moment.
The three-year covenant period was fast approaching.
But he felt fast.
Looking at her expression when she calmly faced her fate, he felt a trace of regret.
But.
Fate is written, and she should become a victim of interests.
Even if.
How special is she......
As he said: don't be a bargaining chip in the next life......
But sometimes fate plays tricks on people!
He actually became the traitor who escaped by taking the sacrifice.
All misunderstandings and conspiracies pushed him involuntarily to the forefront.
Looking at her dying in his arms, he thought: Why don't you do what you want for yourself?
He tried his best for the rise of the entire demon party, and all he got was doubts and betrayal.
It seems that what he had thought of before to raise a descendant to replace himself was already slowly planned by Glores, a "good" child.
The world of the Bloodline is so realistic: the elders are immortal, and the young never have a chance to emerge.
……
He wanted to escape, so he took Han Qingluo and left.
It was planned that after arriving in the UK, the two parted ways, and it was also a burden to take her as a moving target.
But the cargo ship accident became a turning point.
She pleaded heartbreakingly to help her, and he could feel her firmness.
Perhaps, she is not a burden......
Maybe it's because of soft-heartedness, or because of some unknown interest.
He agreed.
Started a unique fugitive career with her.
