Chapter 26: Suspicion
The bees that poured out of Selena's sleeves, it looked like their tail needles should be hiding venom, and the three-headed harpy was poked into hundreds of blood holes in an instant, and the feathers flew everywhere, revealing the skin on the front of the and quickly turned purple, and the harpy faltered and fell out of the big wall hole one after another. Please use this site.
Before Julian could look out to see if the three harpies were dead, he was dragged by Selena.
"Let's go!" Selina didn't say a word, and pulled Julian to the door of the staircase that had just been opened by the coconut tree. Selina turned around and slammed the door back with a lock that had been torn in half by the coconut tree, allowing for at least a little delay when the other harpies invaded the building through the hole in the wall.
The two of them rushed to the third floor. It looked like a kitchen and utility room, with a few messy boxes piled up on the floor, and a staircase leading to the top fourth floor on the other side of the room.
But right here, Julian suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" Selina immediately stepped forward to help Julian up, but when her hand touched Julian's chest, Julian suddenly shook his whole body and showed a painful expression.
Sensing that the situation was not good, Selina immediately pulled the sergeant's uniform from Julian's chest, only to see a long wound that was deep enough to see the bones appear on Julian's chest, and blood kept flowing out.
"You stupid man, you have been so badly wounded, and you don't say a word!" Selene reproached, taking out gauze from the nun's robe and bandaging Julian's wounds.
"Don't waste time, this is an injury caused by the impact of the battle spirit, not an ordinary sword wound, and ordinary wound bandaging does not work at all. As Julian said this, it was obvious that his face had deteriorated and his lips were pale.
But Selina didn't let go of her work because of Julian's words, and while bandaging, she reprimanded: "You bastard, you should have a limit to your own strength." If you don't know the depths of challenging a paladin, you'll die at any time!"
Julian sneered: "Are you afraid that if I die, your mission will fail? Life is just a tool for you to complete the task, right? Whether it is your own, your companion's, or mine." â
Hearing Julian say this, Selina couldn't help but stop: "Boy, what do you want to say?"
"You know. Julian, who was wounded, although his complexion was bright and weak, his voice was sharp, and he questioned Selina, "Since you know how to use the 'Bee Technique', you can obviously save them just now, why didn't you save the two of them when they died?"
"You're talking about the coconut and beech trees. Each of us, ever since we became part of the 'woods', had long anticipated the day when we would come. This is the choice of the two of them, and it is also their duty. â
"What kind of bullshit duty? Is it worth giving up your life? I told Hagen at the beginning that it's good to use anything, just don't use your own life......"
"I know your feelings, but you don't know us at all. Actually, we ......" At this point, Selina suddenly swallowed back the words that came to her lips, "Forget it, it's pointless to explain too much to you." â
In fact, there is no need for Selina to say, Julian also understands that although he has lived with these spies for several months, he has always maintained a knightly mentality, and has never thought of putting himself in the shoes of a different position to accommodate the world of spies. He understood what Selina was trying to say, and he knew that this might be the cruelty of the struggle in the world of spies, but he just couldn't agree with this kind of behavior in his heart.
"Bastard. Julian, who was in a very bad mood, smashed the lid of a box next to him with a punch.
"I don't want to have a pointless argument with you. Things have come to this point, and it's impossible to turn back. At this point, Serena pulled the last knot of the gauze on Julian's body, "Listen, after saving that girl in a while, we won't retreat according to the original plan, I know there is another way to get out of this sanatorium." You have to be completely on my command, do you hear me?"
"I don't understand. Why suddenly change the route of the retreat, is this also part of the plan?"
"No, it's a temporary decision of mine. â
"Why?"
Looking at Julian's expression as he broke the casserole and asked the question, Selina knew that if he didn't solve this kid's question, he wouldn't obediently listen to his orders, and after thinking about it for two seconds, she solemnly said to Julian: "I suspect that there are traitors within us, and the originally planned retreat route is no longer safe. â
"Traitor?" Julian was agitated, and he immediately remembered the wine and rice owner Dante, codenamed "Black Tree", and that night of swords and blood.
"In retrospect, the whole rescue mission seemed to have been too smooth from the beginning to the time we came to the back mountain, and this kind of smooth and untwisted smooth passage made me a little uneasy at the time, and then the Harpy and William Mano happened one after another, these two events were two unforeseen accidents on the surface, but I had a faint feeling that someone had set up a trap waiting for us to get in. The early Shun lĂŹ is the bait that lures us into the trap, and the Harpy and William Mano are the fishing nets that restrict our movements. So I suspect that in addition to the Dent who has died at your hands, there is also an inner ghost hiding in the 'woods' that leaked our rescue plan. â
"Just because of this, do you doubt your companions?"
"Although it's just my feelings, there is no real evidence at all. But for those of us, it is impossible to have enough time to gather evidence every time we make a decision, and sometimes the key to life and death is often the subjective intuition of the individual. â
"You have a point, I can't agree with this unwarranted suspicion of your companions. Julian shook his head.
Selina snorted: "I don't need your approval, as long as you obey my command before leaving Madolu City." Otherwise you're sorry for anyone who died for you. â
At that point, Julian said no more, and he looked up at the staircase leading to the fourth floor.
"I know what you're worried about. If my suspicions were unfortunately true, and it was a trap, the girl might not have been on it at all. You have to be mentally prepared for the worst. Selina quickly gathered up all her belongings and turned to face the staircase, not shying away from saying what Julian least wanted to happen, "but we won't give up any hope of possibility." Let's go, whether the girl is there or not, it is necessary to take a look. â
Julian stood up with a thud, walked past Selina, and walked quickly to the staircase, ignoring the injuries on her body. At the same time, he said to Serena in a resolute and affirmative tone: "You have no need to be suspicious of your companions, absolutely none of them are traitors, I promise!"
