I walked around the bed in the middle and walked towards Lan Lan, getting closer and closer to her, and I could faintly hear her steady breathing. This kind of breathing, either unconscious, or really asleep. It is impossible for a person who is awake to control his breathing so smoothly unless his mind is free of distractions.

"Are you pretending to be now, or are you really unconscious, or are you awake but you're asleep?" I stood beside her bed, my eyes half my height away from hers, but I couldn't find any sense of condescension.

I crouched, a little down, until my eyes were level with her body.

There are words on my lips that are about to rush out, and I want to say: can you tell me, I don't want to guess anymore. She's very important to me, I throw in the towel, what you have to do, what you need me to do, just ask.

But in the end, I didn't allow myself to say this.

I'm not used to throwing in the towel.

I stood up, and now I can still be on an equal footing with her.

Once that passage is spoken, everything I will do in the future will be dominated by her.

"Get up." My voice was calm.

But Lan Lan didn't move.

"It's okay if you don't get up, then let me guess." I turned around and sat on the edge of Lan Lan's bed, Yao Qianwen quietly turned over at this time, covering her head, but revealing one eye, staring at me in the bed. I ignored her and continued: "Today I probably know that Zuo Yuan has some hatred with you, but the specific reason is unknown. He seems to want you to die, maybe not, who knows what happened between you? People are the most difficult thing to figure out. It's just that Mina's appearance today is definitely not a coincidence. Although I don't want to believe it, the chance of her being controlled by you, my rational judgment is about 70%, or 80%. ”

"But none of that matters, because I know that the person I'm looking for is a living person, not a puppet. I am a person who believes in myself and above all else. ”

Speaking of this, I turned around and gently put a hand on Lan Lan's forehead, as if I was caressing a child who was close to me, I don't know why I had this action, it was just an instinct after my mind returned to calm.

"Now that you've explained the background, let's talk about what you want to do. Listening to Zuo Yuan, you have been paying attention to the Dark Covenant Church for a long time, and the small town of Ratam is the location of the worm egg explosion on the mechanism map, and the Dark Covenant is there. I don't know if the two are related, but it all seems to be in the line you calculated. I, Zuo Yuan, we both went there because of your plan. And you yourself will eventually be taken by me. What kind of chemistry will the three of us have with that church? I guess the result of that reaction is your purpose. ”

"Let's talk about that guy, that dried corpse, you should have really fainted at the time, the reason was not any of my previous guesses, now that I think about it, it was probably because that guy really broke through your control. He was very powerful, and killed a witch master that Zuo Yuan cared about a lot, and at that moment, Zuo Yuan probably really had some jealousy of me. Although I don't know what his attitude towards me has become at this moment. ”

"You've been implicating me one after another, and guess why...... Before you fainted, you were in a trance, your eyes kept alternating between me and the dry corpse, plus the thing saved me, and said a lot of strange things. So, I think there must be some kind of connection between me and the dried corpse. That's why. ”

"You called me Wei Heng's name...... You shouldn't have called it, but at that time, your Gu King had just been destroyed, and I thought maybe at that moment, there was really a problem with your memory. That's right, now that I think about it, I'm even more sure. So, at that time, you really recognized the wrong person. ”

"Combined with all of the above, I have a guess, you listen, I don't know if it's right."

"That dry corpse, that's what you said about Wei Heng, right?"

Syllable!

Suddenly my hand was grabbed, it was the hand of a small child, but it was so powerful that it was like a pincer, and it even made a noise of rubbing between my bones.

It hurts.

But I didn't move, I didn't make a sound, and I quietly looked at the slender eyes that had been opened.

A child's eyes are not what a child should have.

"Are you angry?" I asked.

"Damn, really...... Really awake? Yao Qianwen immediately covered her head.

Lan Lan let go of her hand, and the corners of her mouth rose coldly, "You are really exactly like him." ”

"The dry corpse, Wei Heng?"

"I didn't say you guessed right."

"That's okay, I didn't really care about the outcome of this in the first place. Your story has nothing to do with me. I said this just to force her to open her eyes, and now I want to know only one thing: "Where is the real Mina." ”

"Do me a few favors, and when it's done, I'll give her back to you in her original form." Lan Lan said this very bluntly.

But I don't like it.

My hand fell on her forehead again, and she didn't dodge, with a little curiosity in her eyes. Then, I unleashed the power of the Fourteen King Worms, and the golden heart beat wildly! My right hand turned into a sharp claw, and Lan Lan's head was like a small fruit relative to that claw, ready to burst at any moment.

"I'm not interested in helping you."

"Don't you want to know, what is the relationship between you and Wei Heng?" Lan Lan was like changing the subject.

"I don't want to."

Lan Lan's brows furrowed slightly: "Don't you want to know, why do you remember the picture of that western-style building?" ”

"I don't want to."

"And what do you want to know?"

"Where's Mina?"

Poof!

She suddenly laughed, as if she had heard something very ridiculous, there was no nervousness in her laughter, in fact, at that moment I understood that even without the Gu King, I still couldn't kill her.

"You're a love brain, boy."

"Answer my question."

She ...... I've probably gone to church now, right? ”

"What?!"

"Take it, boy, you can't kill me." Lan Lan pushed my claws away, then sat up, and looked at me with a smile: "Have you talked to that waste of Zuo Yuan?" Then he must have gotten the message I gave him from Kado's head. Didn't the message say that 'Du Youlan' would go to church? Of course she was really going to go. So, the chemical reaction you mentioned before, the raw materials are only you and me and Zuo Yuan, less the same, your Mina. ”

"What exactly do you want?"

"Gu King." Lan Lan turned her head sideways and glanced at Yao Qianwen who was curled up in the bed, "The one she stole is just a defective product, and it is about to die." I need a new, more powerful Gu King. ”

"And then? This is not the end goal. ”

"Aren't you interested in my story?"

"I'm not interested, but you're going to use Mina."

"Then you can only blame yourself, if you have some other interests, I won't use anything else?" Lan Lan spread her hands, looking innocent, but the more she looked at it, the more distorted her expression became.

Our conversation seems to have ended.

After that, for half an hour, none of us said a word.

"Sleep, I'm going to Ratam tomorrow, are you going to give up? Wei...... Zora. ”

"Do you have any deep hatred with that person?" I mean Wei Heng.

"You're not interested in my story."

She lay down.

I also lay down.

But none of us fell asleep, and I looked at the ceiling, and my heart was full of hatred. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem like everything is so unlucky. At least Mina, she's different from the other corpses.

Lanlan said that Mina went to church.

That sentence didn't lie to me. Zuo Yuan's people are in the ghost market, their hands and eyes are all over the sky, if it is a controlled corpse puppet, then hiding will definitely be discovered. So it's highly likely that she actually went to church. If so, it will be out of the puppet's control distance setting.

As for Lan Lan......

"You know what, Miss Du." I spoke suddenly.

"Huh? I like this title...... Know what? Her tone was cold, but it seemed innate.

"You need an opponent to play chess." I turned my head to look at her.

"Huh." Her laughter was also cold, "But I don't think you're my opponent." ”

"A chess player thinks he is controlling a chess piece, but he forgets that the chess piece has no life, and it is the chess player who is in the chess game. How do you know if you are in the trap of your opponent? ”

She opened her eyes and looked at me.

"I am indeed no match for you." My gaze returned to the ceiling: "But what I said is Zuo Yuan." ”

……

Early the next morning, Rattlesnake took me to see Zuo Yuan.

The location is not in the ghost market, but in the church, and the people in Zuo Yuan are all dressed as believers. It is said that those who enter into the covenant of darkness can only be followers of the local religion.

So, I dressed up too.

As for Yao Qianwen and Lan Lan, Lan Lan continued to pretend to be unconscious, and Zuo Yuan didn't seem to pay that much attention to her, but because they were all related to Du Youlan, they must also be among the believers. Yao Qianwen was forced to change her clothes, and her escape plan fell through again. And Lan Lan, Zuo Yuan prepared a huge cloth basket for me, put her in it, and I carried it on my back.

Then we took the waterway and set off towards the small town of Ratam.

Except for Yao Qianwen's chattering and complaining when no one was around, the road was very stable and nothing happened.

After a day, we came to Latam. The country is sparsely populated, and the town is empty. But there are many traces of beliefs about the country itself. All kinds of crosses inserted into the pupa are the most mainstream decoration in the whole Latam.

Although there were few pedestrians on the streets, more than half of them were dressed as believers.

Zuo Yuan was not in a hurry to enter the Dark Covenant as soon as possible, and when he was resting and eating, he told me that he had received news that "Du Youlan" had arrived at Latam. It's just that I don't know exactly where I am now and what I will do. He needs some time to investigate.
