Secret realm? Wealth?

Forty-two's words suddenly reminded me of the tea stall owner who mentioned just now that Silly Lao Qi has a lot of money and a lot of gold. I was thinking, where would all that gold come from?

So, I asked Forty-Two, "Is there gold in that place?" ”

"Huh?"

"The secret place in the desert you just mentioned."

"Of course there is, how can there be no such direct desire for wealth. But why are you asking about this? ”

I looked back at the door, "It's a pity that he's gone, otherwise I can still ask him." Just now that guy said that the stupid old seven who was looking for you has a lot of gold. ”

"Oh?"

Just as she was saying this, Du Youlan suddenly pushed a person in, "I haven't left yet, I've been walking around the neighborhood several times, and I caught him." ”

The man was pushed to the ground by Du Youlan, struggling to get up, his face was pale with fright, it was the tea stall owner before. At this moment, he kept begging for mercy: "I, I, I was wrong!" I, I'm greedy for a while, I don't have any special thoughts, gods, gods, let me go, let me go! ”

"Do you know where the stupid old seven put the gold?" I asked.

"Huh? Know, know...... But he couldn't have stayed in the same place forever, that time it was just a deposit for us, and we saw some of it, but I went there a few times after that, and the gold had already been transferred by him. With so much money, the stupid old seven is not really stupid, and it is impossible to trust us completely. ”

"So, where else does he live?"

"Well, of course there is."

Speaking of this, Forty-Two took over, "Yo, then this thing will be easy to handle, take me to see." ”

"Ah...... Yes? The owner of the tea stall was very nervous, looking at Forty-Two cautiously, but in that cautious eyes, there was greed that could not be concealed, "That...... And what about this good thing? Well, do you know where the flowers bloom in the desert? ”

He even had a "code" on it.

Forty-two smiled, "You know, you want to go?" I can take you back. ”

"No, no, not interested. Then I'm qualified, right? The final payment is also mine? ”

They continued their topic, and at this point, I have decided not to get involved in this matter, and I gave Du Youlan and Bai Wuji a look at the door, and they were about to leave.

But Forty-Two stopped me at this time: "Hey, fellow, are you leaving?" ”

"I'm not interested in your business. It is estimated that that stupid old seven will find you, eighty percent is also related to the secret realm, what you are going to do next, how to do it, it is your own business, in short, it will not bother me. ”

"You're so ruthless, tsk...... But don't you really want to go? Looking at your sad face, there are a lot of worries, right? It's not just Mina, I always feel like there's something else on your mind. It's a truly amazing place, and maybe there's the answer you want, and maybe it can change your situation. ”

I had already reached the door, but I stopped and looked back at Forty-two, "Change the status quo?" Give me the answer? Solving the trouble? So if, I'm telling you, I don't know what to change, I don't know what the trouble is, and I want the answer, and I can't tell myself that way, then will there be my answer there? ”

"Hiss......" Forty-two rubbed his chin and stared at me cautiously for a few seconds, "Your situation is serious. I suspect you have eaten too much and have been schizophrenic. Why don't you take a break? Accompany me as if it were a desert trip? ”

"I'm not interested."

With that, I left.

Forty-two didn't chase him, and it was clear that he really wanted me to go with him to the desert secret realm, but it wasn't necessary for him.

"That guy is an interesting guy, oh no, bug." On the way, Du Youlan commented on forty-two.

"Yes, I just don't know what his abilities are. However, since he can survive under Mina's pursuit for so long, his strength should be good. ”

"Really? But didn't you notice that the king insects that Mina chased and killed were all dead in your hands? He may not be very good, but he hasn't met you yet. But if you want to say that, he has to follow you, and you've lived enough. ”

I stopped, and suddenly I realized something, "No, maybe that guy didn't run away." ”

"Run?" Du Youlan's gaze turned to me, "Forty-two didn't run away. ”

"I'm not talking about him, I'm talking about the stupid old seven. I thought that Silly Lao Qi was looking for a replacement for the dead ghost, but Forty-two felt that he was casting a wide net to trap him. I don't know if I'm right, but Forty-Two is right, Silly Lao Qi wants to kill him, and the tea stall owner just now is probably part of the plan. ”

"Why do you think that?" Du Youlan was curious.

"I began to think that he was looking for a substitute for the dead, because I thought that the person he was looking for might be a killer to the person who said the 'desert blossoms' code, or anything bad. But now that he thinks about it, if he is looking for a replacement for the dead ghost, why would he himself hide in the bazaar? Why do you keep in contact with those fake stall owners, it seems that you want to make the clues seem secret, but there are traces to follow. Then, it corresponds to the entrapment mentioned in forty-two. And now, the rest of the information about Silly Lao Qi has been revealed too smoothly, and I said that he lied to me twice, so I always feel that he shouldn't have made the plan so rough. ”

Speaking of this, I glanced at Du Youlan and said in unison, "Mina." ”

"Actually, it's not necessarily 100% her, it's just that I can't think of why Silly Lao Qi wants to kill Forty-two, I really don't know much about the background of the two of them, only the fact that they have been to the secret realm of the Sand Sea, it is difficult to analyze the reason at all. So the biggest possibility I can think of is Mina. ”

"I said brother, that, you two said so much, can you let me interject? I don't seem to have a sense of existence...... "Bai Wuji raised his hand.

"You've got to get out of here for a while." My attention suddenly turned to Baiwuji.

"Huh? For the hair? ”

"Didn't you say before that someone will come to you for trouble with me, and they think you know what my missing memories and desires are."

"Who? I don't know! Your memories, your desires, why do I know? However, in fact, you talk so much, I probably hear three or four percent, or I'll help? I think you seem like you're going to turn back and look for the big brother who just saved me, does that mean? ”

I don't know Forty-Two well, and what his fate will be is his own business. But now that Mina is involved, I really have a reason to go.

But......

"I said, you have to leave. If you get caught by that guy, it's going to be a hassle. ”

"How human are they?" Bai Wuji asked me.

"Not much, but it's also troublesome."

"No more than two people! More than two people, I can't help it, within two people, I can do it! ”

I felt as if he was suddenly joking with me, "What are you talking about?" ”

"It's the number of people, literally, brother!"

"I don't know, but it doesn't make much sense, because the focus is not on the quantity, but on the means. In short, don't show up lately, don't go back to your residence, and don't go to work. ”

"You give money?"

"Just help me once, and help yourself."

"Yes, I'm a man who listens. What about you? It doesn't matter if you don't want me to help, but you have to tell me what you're going to do next, right? ”

What's next?

In fact, I have an answer in my heart, and I thought of the answer when I thought that the stupid old seven plotted forty-two might be related to Mina.

It's just that when I was asked to say it and share that answer with anyone, I was still a little resistant.

"You're going to kill Mina, are you?" But Du Youlan said it directly, stimulating my hearing.

"Well, it's come to this point, and I said it before, if I don't see her again, it's fine, but if she really comes to Baiwuji, then this time, I must kill her."

Some things, when in my heart, there may be room for hesitation, but once I say it, it is like pressing the OK button, which makes my hesitation disappear quickly with time, and after five minutes of separation from Bai Wuji, I have been completely sure that this time either I will die or Mina will die, and there will be no room for anything.

And the next thing is to look for forty-two.

It's not very difficult, my king worm's sense of smell is very keen, even if I don't follow the same kind of taste, the special aroma on Forty-two's body can still make me find traces in the air.

But in the process of searching, Du Youlan asked me a question, "Actually, if you let Bai Wuji leave, it may not be the right choice." ”

"Why?" I asked.

"We can't be sure yet, Silly Lao Qi is going to plot forty-two, whether it has anything to do with Mina, everything is possible, although your guess has always been accurate."

"Are you worried that just because of this gap, let Mina seize the opportunity, find Baiwuji, and control it?"

Du Youlan nodded and continued: "Not only that, although Mina has a reason to kill Forty-Two, is Forty-Two really so easy to kill?" And forty-two is not dead, we will all go, if it happens that she doesn't bring Bai Wuji, she will be happy, right? ”

"I know, I've thought about it."

"And you let him go in the first place?"

"Heh......" I smiled, "Actually, before I came here, I was full of unknowns about Bai Wuji, and I really didn't know how he should deal with Mina's matter." But now...... Let me tell you this, Bai Wuji just asked me, how many people are in Mina, it seems strange, right? But in fact, as he said, this sentence is literal, and I can understand it. ”

"What?" This time, Du Youlan didn't seem to understand what I was talking about.

"In short, unless he is willing, no matter Mina, Zuo Yuan, or the twenty-eight king worms, none of them can catch him."

"What did you find?"

"Actually, I just guessed, but I thought you should know more than me, didn't you say that Wei Heng lives in his body."

Du Youlan didn't give me an answer, but said something else, "Heh, are you testing how much I know about him?" ”

"Not exactly, but don't worry, according to what I knew about Mina before, her team can't help it. All we need now is to save Forty-Two and kill Mina. ”
