XXXV. The Plague Bride

I asked, "Who is the waste clock?" ”

Soles said, "My friend. ”

I asked, "He's a living corpse like you?" ”

Solace nodded, "Yes, we separated after we mixed into the black coffin. Yes, I remember, he met the girl named Rita, who lived in the Tower. ”

The waste clock is Rita's boyfriend! He's also a resurrected corpse? Both he and Soles are from outside the Black Coffin? I didn't know that the black coffin was so flawed that people could come and go at will.

I said, "Why don't you live with him, if you are of the same kind?" ”

"We can't gather the dead, and you know, the fire in us is annoying, and if the two are combined, we'll be immediately discovered, and then the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

At this point, she withdrew some kind of hallucination, and in my eyes she was completely changed, like one of those corpses who had been reshaped after a tragic death, and occasionally glimpsed the gruesome details.

This is exactly what Yao Chi said, the disguise that the Hellfire gives to these living corpses.

She waited for me to see clearly, and immediately returned to her original appearance, she said, "I am the cursed dead, and everyone hates me, except Thai. ”

I asked, "That Tai is the dead man in the attic?" ”

Soles was sad, but didn't cry anymore. She said, "Yes, but he's a deformed corpse now, just to feed on me." ”

I sighed, "Freak corpses? No, he's just a dead man, just treat him as dead, and don't waver the next time you face him, it will only kill you. ”

Solace cried, "But I.... There is nowhere else to go, and for me, the sun is now more deadly than mortals, and I have a hard time..."

I still hated her, even hated her, that every word she said was a lie, that she would give me a disgusting disease, but I forced myself to reason.

I thought to myself, "She's desperate and skilled, and I can take her in and give her a place to stay while I'm hiring, and if that's the case, I'll have one more strong member in my squad." People in desperate situations are the most easily impressed, and I can take advantage of that, she is a hundred times stronger than the bear child of Salvador! ”

The question is, where do I keep her?

Maybe I don't have to sell the thirtieth floor of Henry's mansion, where the curse has been removed, and she must not be afraid as a living corpse. I do need money, but Michael may be right, money is just a fictitious faith, and one day, I will need good people even more.

I said, "If you help me solve the case, I can find you a place to live." ”

She looked up at me with distrust in her eyes. The fire in my heart burned brightly: how could a creature who thought such a vile creature refuse the favor I had bestowed? Even a little reluctance will not do.

I wanted to yell at her, but I couldn't help it, and I said, "Trust me." ”

She said, "No one can endure the fire of the dead except Thai, and no one has ever treated me well. ”

I forced a smile and said, "I can try." ”

She muttered, "Well, things can't get any worse anyway." ”

I really want to scold her for not knowing what to do.

If there really is a creator in the world, there must be three, six, nine and so on, she is undoubtedly at the bottom, and I am at the top, who gave her the courage to be so rude to me? Isn't the life of the beetle on the ground in my thoughts? Even those annoying blood-sucking bugs, I can trample them to death....

....

Of course, I fully understood that this was an attempt by the Hellfire to manipulate my mind, and I was used to dealing with mental attacks, believing that it would not be long before these unjust thoughts would cease to exist.

She and I walked to the tavern, and the deformed corpses finally stopped, and the journey was uneventful.

She told me: "It was Kolof who made me and the waste clock, we are brother and sister. ”

I asked, "Kolov is also a living corpse?" ”

She looked at me helplessly, as if she thought I was asking nonsense, which almost angered me again.

She continued: "We are living corpses.... Through rituals, the cursed fire can be shared with the rest of the corpses. It was supposed to be a loving process, like a human woman giving birth, but Kolov was a brutal monster. He created us just to feed his deformed corpses. So, I ran away from him with the Waste Bell.

But Koloff is a ruthless character, Koloff is an executioner, Koloff's ghost is not gone, Koloff never spares anyone, we escaped for more than ten years, and he finally learned that we live in a black coffin. ”

I asked, "I've heard that he does a lot of business with the gang in the black coffin, so he can easily get in." ”

"Yes, he's the leader of a gang of bandits in the Golden State wasteland, and he occupies a lot of territory, and even demons, he has a way to deal with them. He's been doing business with the Blood Pact for a long time. ”

I said, "Your news must have been leaked to him by the Blood Pact." ”

Soles shook her head and said, "I don't know, I hardly go out, and I avoid contact with anyone but Thai, who all say I'm Thai's 'plague bride'." Because of me, Tai was also alienated and hated by everyone, but Tai never minded. ”

I couldn't believe how that Ty could put up with Soles, to me, she was as annoying as she was covered in snot. I knew it was wrong, but it just didn't get it.

I asked, "Thai... Why can... Unmoved? Did he also make it to you..."

Soles looked a little angry, and she said, "No, I would never do that to Tai, and he even repeatedly asked me to make him like me, because he wanted to bear my suffering, but I didn't agree." ”

She added: "Tai is special, like someone who was destined to save me. He truly treated me like a wife. He would kiss me, hug me, and put me to sleep in his arms, but now..."

I didn't want to hear it, I didn't dare to think of any normal man who would dare to hug her, and that image made me feel uncomfortable.

In the same way, I don't want to hear the nonsense that the waste clock and Rita are true love.

Soles wept uncontrollably, and my heart softened, and I said, "Mourning, the important thing now is to find Kolov, and the Waste Clock, and I suspect that the Waste Clock has gone to Koloff for revenge." ”

Soleth's pupils dilated, like an enraged cat, and she said, "I'm going to do the same, but Kolov is not something that I and the Waste Bell can deal with." ”

I asked, "Why didn't he just kill you?" Rather, it will .... What did Tai become? ”

"This is the most cruel part of his methods, his rule of punishment for traitors, that he will turn your closest people into deformed corpses and let them bite you alive," said Soles. If he doesn't succeed, he will take matters into his own hands. ”

I asked, "He's not afraid you'll run away?" ”

Solace shook her head and said, "He is never afraid, because he has his eyes on us, and we can't escape." ”

I sneered, "This time he completely miscalculated, he thought it was in his territory?" This is the Black Coffin, and he is challenging the authority of the entire Black Coffin. Don't worry, I'll ask for reinforcements, he won't be able to escape. ”

Soles said hurriedly: "Reinforcements? No! You can't do this! Me and Waste Bell are black people, and we're going to be kicked out. ”

I reassured her and told her not to worry and that I would take care of everything.

In the bottom of my mind, I don't think there's anything wrong with deporting her and the waste clock, because they are essentially pests, the residue of nuclear waste. But reason tells me they're innocent, they're not dirty, I can't do that.

I arrived at the tavern, where Misser had arrived, but I had not seen Salvador. Milsey was astonished when he saw me embarrassed, and asked, "What has happened to you?" Wolves? ”

I said, "Worse, it's the lions." Then he pointed to Soles, who bowed his head and hid his face, and said, "Soles, this is Milse, and he is the most trustworthy person." Missey, this is Soles, she's a... Special witnesses. ”

Misser looked hesitant and stared at Soles, an expression I had only seen when he was a child, when he wetted the bed and looked at the stains on the bed with anger and annoyance.

Solace did not stretch out her hand, pursed her lips and said nothing, and Mirse's hand moved over the hilt of the sword for a moment, and said, "Hello." "Sit down in a chair.

I asked, "El Salvador!" You hear me? El Salvador? ”

A strange and cold voice said, "He heard, but couldn't answer you." ”

Mirse and I both recognized what had happened, and I remained calm and asked, "Kolov?" ”

Kolov said: "Rangers? I didn't expect the rangers' sense of smell to be so acute, was it Suo Lone or Tao Le who betrayed me? Really, I should have handled it cleanly. ”

I forced myself not to show a hint of panic and asked, "Is Salvador injured?" ”

"Yes, he was brave and a good soldier," Kolov said. He wanted to arrest me, pointed a gun at me, and I... I'm not used to being held at gunpoint. ”

Salvador, this idiot! Didn't I tell him not to do it on his own?

"It's a big world, but it's also a world of lawlessness," Koloff sighed. ”

I said, "Because you killed people in Black Coffin, and among the dead were the Rangers." ”

"It's not true, I'm just letting them live in another way, and it's the other two who kill them.... Ominous people. ”

Solace snapped, "I'll kill you!" Kolov! I won't run away again! I will spend the rest of my life hunting you down and letting you taste the heart-rending pain! ”

Kolof said: "Ah.... My child, have they arrested you? ”

I said, "Solace is under the protection of our Rangers. ”

Koloff laughed: "Protection? They will not be able to stand you either, and before long you will be doused with gasoline and alive until you are charred. My poor boy, I know what happens to my people. ”

Soles gritted her teeth and said, "Before that, you will die first!" I want you to die worse than Thai! ”

Kolov said, "Is that man's name Ty?" He is rare, and there are occasional such people among human beings, who are the most cherished companions in your destiny, and they will fall in love with you and produce a love that is better than the curse of the Hellfire. However, such a person is destined to live short, and it is also destined to make you sad and uncomfortable.

Do you know? Before my knife severed his arm, he was still crying out for me to spare you, to spare you, the villain who betrayed me. His wails and screams sounded all the more wonderful because of the fusion of love. ”
