73 Uninvited guests
"The woman's name seems to be Lilith"
"Is that the full name?" Zhao Minglei asked.
"Well," Li Huahua nodded, "but she just whispered something in Rocklay's ear before leaving the torture room." ”
Zhao Minglei lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "Since she was able to hide her true appearance in front of everyone before, and even did not hesitate to use some kind of illusion to change her gender and appearance, she definitely didn't want outsiders to know her true identity." But in the end, why did Li Huahua, who knew the truth, walk out of the torture room alive? Aren't you afraid that Kress' true identity will be revealed? ”
He lowered his head and re-lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Could it be!?" His eyes began to become anxious, and the clenched crown of his teeth bit the cigarette in two.
The broken cigarette fell to the ground with a 'click' sound.
The two in front of them were stunned by the sudden change in his expression, holding their breath and waiting for him to speak next.
"Did you expect us to not be able to go back!?" The right hand holding the cigarette case stayed in mid-air, staring at the ground with round eyes.
"What? What are you talking about!? Li Huahua became nervous, and her body that had just gotten into the bed sat up again.
"He already knew that we couldn't leave the Fifth Sector at all, so even if you knew Kress's true face, you wouldn't be able to spread this information!" He bared his teeth and clenched the cigarette case in his hand, the palm-sized box pinched into a thin strip by the huge grip.
"Before leaving, Lord Luo ordered me to take the form of Ariel and accompany you to the Fifth District, ostensibly to give the two of you psychological encouragement with Ariel's face, after all, you both have unique feelings for Ariel, right?" He looked at the two of them and continued, "Actually, he wants me to meet the two people we're looking for as Ariel!" ”
"But what is the purpose of this?"
"I don't know, he just said to me before he left, 'Get ready for battle!' That's it! His teeth clicked, and he could clearly feel Zhao Minglei's heavy gasp.
"Abandoned by the president?" He muttered, his brows furrowed together, a terrifying look on his face that words could not describe for a moment.
"How is that possible!?" The other two spoke in unison.
"You are his personal deputy, you have been by his side for so many years, and you will abandon it when you say it!?" Sun Linsheng couldn't believe such speculation, he didn't want the positive image that Roquere had only established in his mind to collapse in an instant.
"No, from the very beginning, no one stipulated that 'comrades-in-arms who have traveled a long way together cannot be suddenly abandoned one day in the future'! Besides, no one can really read what the man is thinking! Even Caesar and I, who had been by his side for many years, were the same! ”
He slammed his fist into the ground, making a large dent in the carpet that lay underneath.
"That's just speculation, right? Let's not think about things like that with preconceived notions, and since our mission has just begun, thinking too much about inconsequential things now will affect our future plans! Sun Linsheng said calmly.
Sun Linsheng often shows a child-like panicked look when faced with unexpected situations, but in this kind of quiet discussion, he often plays the role of the most calm thinker.
"We... I really can't go back..."Li Huahua rolled her body into the quilt, looking depressed, as if she was thinking about something.
"So stop thinking about that, all we have to do is find those two people and go back to the third district!" Sun Linsheng put the musket by his side, stood up and walked out of the tent.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go to the toilet!"
……
A cold wind blew in the forest late at night, and according to the agreement, it was Sun Linsheng's time for vigil.
A cool breeze blew across his cheeks, and his long blonde hair turned a little red in the dim light of the campfire.
He added firewood to the campfire one by one, thinking about what everyone talked about before they went to bed.
(Obviously, when I first arrived in the Fifth District, I had already come into contact with the 'Grim Reaper**' who appeared in the 'Tsunami' incident twenty years ago, but I didn't have a clue about the 'War of Betrayal' in the second half of that event.)
(Maybe you'll know something after meeting the two people we're looking for?) )
As he thought so, drowsiness gradually crept over him.
He shook his head vigorously, drove the drowsiness out of his head, stood up and stretched.
"Someone!?"
Faintly, a dark shadow appeared in the jungle not far away!
From the faint blue light from the sky, it can be roughly judged from the shape of her body and walking posture that she is a long-haired woman with a long sword at her waist, somewhat similar to the red-haired sword girl in the description!
"Wake up the two inside!"
As soon as he turned his head, a man's face appeared behind him.
"Damn, I didn't notice his breath at all!" Sun Linsheng was shocked.
The man had his eyes closed, dressed in black close-fitting clothes, his hands behind his back, although he had not felt the murderous aura on his body before, but when he looked at him, he could always feel an inexplicable chill gradually creeping up his spine from behind.
Apparently, these are exactly the two people they were looking for in the description!
"Shh~" Before he could speak first, the man stretched out two fingers and covered Sun Linsheng's mouth.
"What for?" The man was the first to ask, and a pair of deep eyes met Sun Linsheng's gaze.
Sun Linsheng's back was cold, and he wanted to wake up the two people in the tent loudly, but his musket was still in the tent, and if he acted rashly and caused the hostility of the two in front of him, the consequences would be incalculable.
"We're here to deliver tokens to the two of you on Roquere's behalf!"
"We?" The man glanced at the woman behind him, and after a brief eye contact, he continued:
"Which Roquere?"
"What?"
"How old is Roquere? Broken arm? Or is it one-eyed? ”
The man's question made Sun Linsheng a little confused, and he thought for a moment before replying, "The president of the freer is about fifty years old. As for whether it is disabled or not... I've only had close contact with him once, and he seems to be an able-bodied man! ”
Hearing the answer, the man rubbed his chin with his hand as if thinking about something.
"I heard that you are acquaintances of Mr. Luo, but you can't remember your appearance because you haven't seen each other for many years?" Sun Linsheng asked.
The man raised his head and smiled a little surprised on his face: "Huh, acquaintance? In a sense, it is! ”
At this time, the sword-wielding woman behind her also laughed softly.
Sun Linsheng could feel that it was not a genuine smile when he saw a friend, but more like a smile mixed with ridicule or some kind of negative emotion.
