I looked at him and understood that this guy in front of me was actually very dangerous and would never be underestimated by me a second time. It's just that when I carefully feel the golden heart in my body, I find it strange, the extremely dangerous beating signal before is now completely unfeeling.

So, I took two steps towards him, and it was still the same.

"Okay, I trust you, as long as you don't continue to make trouble with Baimowgli, I won't trouble you either. I sniffed it closely, and you look like you're the only one around, right? ”

He looked around, especially the tunnel he walked into, and nodded, "Yes, it's just me, but why do you ask?" ”

I can't say for sure if he's lying.

If he really had something to do with Mina, it seemed like he wouldn't have given me any correct answer if I had asked him directly.

But at least he had to give me a reason to kill Forty-Two, and what reason would he give me?

"Okay, that's the end of this question. Can you tell me why you killed him? Although I am not familiar with him, it is a little related, we just talked, he said that he doesn't know you, I am very curious about this. ”

As I spoke, I continued to walk a few more steps.

Still oddly enough, the Golden Heart still didn't give me any hints of danger.

I'm even a little skeptical, is that a delusion?

Thinking of this, I looked at the sculptures around me again, and said that it was not right, it must not be an illusion. These things are all made up of living people, and I don't believe that one person has a reason to kill so many people.

The distance between us gradually narrowed, and he always stood in place, and he seemed a little hesitant to face my question, "This ...... It's some of my own things that have nothing to do with you, and since you don't know him well, why do you have to know about it? ”

"I told you I had to know?"

"Looks like ......"

"I don't know if you should say that you are very accurate in reading people, or if you already know why I am asking."

When I said this, the stupid old seven was stunned for a moment, "I really don't understand this, but if you have to ask, I can answer you." ”

"Okay, then I'd like to hear your answer too."

At this moment, I have come face to face with him, which is an extremely close distance, but until this distance, the feeling of the golden heart beating wildly before, still does not appear, this can't be that he has collected killing intent on me? Or is it that whether or not he can kill me has nothing to do with his killing intent, and depends on some other condition?

"Have you ever heard of the Sand Sea Secret Realm?" He started by asking.

"It's an old question, and he asked me too." I was about to turn my head in order to take a look at the golden statue of Forty-Two, and try to tell Silly Old Seven that Forty-Two had mentioned this to me, but at the moment when I was about to turn my head, the golden heart faintly showed signs of wild beating again.

At that moment, I realized that all the problems came from my back!

The previous danger hint had to do with me turning my back on this guy!

But why is it dangerous to turn your back on him?

Those eyes?

I stopped the movement that I was about to turn my head, and moved my eyes to the eyes of the stupid old seven, indeed that look looked like there was a little more than before, it was joy! He also wants me to turn around, so I must not turn around.

So, I pointed behind me with my finger, "He also mentioned it, and told me the legends of that place, that there were endless treasures, and that there was everything anyone could think of. ”

"He's been there too?" So, Silly Lao Qi asked me a question again.

"yes, it looks like you don't really know him." I continued to stare into his eyes, and the joy faded, but I was not disappointed.

"Today is the first time I've met him." Silly Lao Qi responded.

"Oh? Then I am more curious, since it is the first time we met, why you have prepared here before, why do you think he will appear, and why do you have to make him into this statue. ”

"It has something to do with the secret realm in the desert, since he told you, you should also know that if you take something from there, if you don't finish all the secret realms, you will be cursed by the secret realm. I used to go there and got what I wanted...... But I didn't make the whole journey, so I was cursed. And in the vision of my curse, I saw his face. Silly Seven's gaze turned to the golden statue behind me, and then suddenly returned to me, "The curse tells me that I will eventually die at the hands of this guy. It's just that I don't believe in fate, since I am cursed to die because of him, then it is better to kill him, right? As long as he is dead, I will live forever. ”

I noticed that when he talked about what he got from the secret realm, he closed his eyes.

It seems to be a memory, but if the eyes are some kind of precious object to him, then this action may also be understood as he is using his eyelids to caress those eyes.

From this, I suspect that maybe those eyes are what he wants from that secret realm.

But speaking of which, the secret realm he narrated with Forty-Two really made me a little curious, what kind of place is that? Whether it's the perfume that covers the insect venom or the snake eyes, they are all rare things in the world, can people really get everything they want in that place?

Desire is like a seed that is planted in the heart at some point, nourished, and then takes root and blossoms. I suddenly realized that I wanted to go to that place too, but what was I going for?

It doesn't seem to be for the part of my memory that I'm missing, but for ......

Thinking of this, my mouth moved, and the tentacles in my mouth silently split, and then merged again.

"That's why, believe it or not, I have no ill will toward you. Now that I'm done, we're ......."

I interrupted him, "That's a bit weird for you. But I accept it, is there anything strange in this world? If you push forward a few years or more than ten years, you and I will not believe that one day we will become who we are today, so of course I can understand that you believe in that curse. Isn't it strange that you believe in the curse and think you can change it? ”

"What's weird?"

"When you believe it, you think you're going to be killed by Forty-Two, that is, if you kill that person, you'll be killed by him. But if you want to change the curse and decide to kill Forty-Two first, then the curse will not be established, in that case, what is the value of your previous beliefs? The changes you make after that seem to be meaningless. Isn't that weird? Oh yes, do you believe in fate, or do you not believe in fate? Do you have two faces, two personalities? ”

I once asked a serial murder suspect this question, and his expression at that time was very similar to that of the current stupid old seven.

"You ......" Silly Lao Qi stared at me, not only did his expression become strange, but his voice trembled slightly, "What do you want to say, I have made it clear, can you leave, or you can move him, in short, he has already ......"

Seeing that he was so excited, I smiled apologetically and said, "Okay, I'm kidding, you seem to mind, don't do that." Then I'll ask you one last question, and you answer it, and I'll leave right away. ”

"Ask!"

"Do you know Mina?"

"Who, I don't know!"

He replied crisply, without thinking, it didn't look like it was before, he probably didn't know Mina.

Did I make a mistake?

However, I didn't want to just leave.

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave at once. But before, you seemed to say you don't need a forty-two gold statue, right? ”

"If you want, move away, it's dead anyway." I nodded, then turned around, and at the same time I patted Du Youlan, signaling her not to move, just waiting for me here, at the same time, I asked the stupid old seven, "There are a lot of golden statues here, it looks like they are all made of living people, right?" Why did you kill them, it wasn't just because you were poor, you wanted to exchange their lives for money, right? ”

"Heh......"

He smiled, that laugh was very relaxed, as if the moment he was looking forward to had finally arrived, but he still responded to my question, "No, that's just one of the reasons, but in fact I don't care that much about money, maybe because with these eyes, they are too much for me, and I can get them at my fingertips." But money aside, some people are really damned, everyone here, damned! Including you!! ”

"Huh? Zoraku turns back! His eyes ...... "Du Youlan reminded me, she also discovered that at this moment, Silly Lao Qi's eyes exude a strange pale yellow, and a pair of pupils are elongated and erect, like snakes.

"Sorry, I don't have a chance." Silly Lao Qi smiled coldly, "My snake eyes can indeed turn people into gold, but I forgot to say that this function has a headache setting, that is, it can only act on people who have their backs to me." I waited for this opportunity, but I waited for a long time. ”

I smiled, the black sand on the back of the head fell off layer by layer, and I, who was originally facing away from him, gradually revealed my front, looking at the stupid old seven's expression from smugness to surprise, and finally horror, "Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." ”

"You...... You ......"

"What am I?"

"You...... You didn't turn your back on me? No, that's not the point, the point is, why would you know? ”

I touched my chest, and he probably couldn't dream of it.

"It's good luck, but it doesn't matter, you said you weren't hostile to me before, and I was embarrassed to do it to you, but now you seem to want to kill me?"

He didn't respond to me, and his body quickly deserted!

Attempt to escape!

"This kind of trick will only be used once!" I shouted, and the tentacles and tentacles bound and pulled up the golden statues around me, some of them were thrown under my feet to cushion the road, and some of them smashed into the entrance, sealing them up!

Of course, if it's sand, you can still slip through the gap.

But I don't think that this guy can maintain the desertification of his body forever, otherwise, he has such a murderous intention, and he used the desertification plus to stare at people from behind him into golden eyes, and killed me before, why wait until now? So, I didn't give him any chance, and after the road was closed, I quickly pierced the tentacles into all the areas of his retreat, and at the same time, released the corrosive power of insect venom!

After a while, he was really unbearable, and he came out of the soil, his whole body was a blur of flesh and blood, and he screamed and begged for mercy, "Don't, don't kill me...... Uhh I, I just don't want to die, I ...... I don't want to die...... Yes! ”

I don't know what kind of story there is between him and these golden statues, but maybe those people are also struggling with him at the moment, right? There may be a reason for doing anything, but what you have a reason to do may not always be the right thing.

His life, I don't want to stay.

I was about to shoot the insect venom into his eyes, but at this moment, my tentacles suddenly felt a distortion of space, like a strong wind passing by, breaking it in an instant!

It's subtle and short-lived, but it's not the first time I've felt it.

The image in my mind quickly went back to the night before boarding the ship to Ugin Island, in a separate room with Mina, the moment she was attacked!

It's forty-two!

"Damn, you're not dead, but what does that mean? Are you still in a relationship with Mina? "I thought he had lied to me.

There was a sound of shattering behind me, a fragment of gold, hitting my quilt, yes, because of the face of the stupid old seven, I didn't dare to look back, until a hand was on my shoulder, "You think too much, man, we are the same kind, what is that woman?" I just don't really want to see you kill him. Just hid in the golden statue, I also heard a lot about things, and this matter is slow. ”

"Why?" I glanced at Forty-Two, who had already walked up to me, and he looked normal, not the least different from before, except that his eyes looked a little expectant, so I asked, "Do you want to comply with his curse?" ”

"Comply? Why, I said it all, there is a delay. As for me, I'm very annoyed that fate can't break this statement, doesn't it mean that he will be killed by me? Then I have to go against the grain, I must save him today, and as long as I live for one day, I must keep him from dying. ”
