Chapter 55: Private Affairs
"Conspiracy...... Conspiracy ......" Li Ling muttered silently twice, his mind a mess.
On this trip, he had suffered enough, and even his whereabouts were unknown, but he only listened to some absurd stories.
Until now, he was still not sure what conspiracy he had discovered. But the facts are already in front of us, the fate of the supporters is already in jeopardy, what is there to hesitate about?!
"Blood debt and blood payment!" Li Ling gritted his teeth and said these words, and immediately walked towards the depths of the jungle.
Haruko and Ma Xiyu glanced at each other, both saw the expectation in each other's eyes, and immediately extinguished the bonfire and followed.
……
The stars were shining, but the depths of the jungle were pitch black, and there were strange howls in the distance.
Tied to the trunk of a big tree by Li Ling, the two batmen who had lost their fangs and claws trembled like lambs to the slaughter.
Now, they had heard the sound of a rope not far away, and seemed to foresee the danger coming, staring closely in the direction from which the sound came, and constantly making all kinds of hideous expressions.
"Whoa!" With a bang, Li Ling pushed aside the branches in front of him and saw the two beasts that had carried him all the way, and the hairs on their necks stood up in panic.
He had thought about what to do with them, and even planned to let go of the two batmen who had lost their claws, and let them survive in this world.
But now, he decided to put an end to their sinful lives.
"All creatures that are hostile to humanity should be damned!" Li Ling muttered resentfully and raised the dagger in his hand.
Little by little, Li Ling stabbed the dagger in his hand into the body of the first batman.
The batman screamed, flashing his wings and limbs to attack Li Ling. Their voices are like timid cries, and their attacks are as weak as a baby's fist.
Li Ling didn't dodge at all, and let their attacks fall on him, which seemed to alleviate the guilt in his heart a little. He stabbed at another bat-man who was struggling.
When he pulled out his dagger, the two batmen were still struggling, but their slender claws couldn't stop the blood spurting from their necks anyway.
Ma Xiyu and Haruko looked at him excitedly, as if Li Ling had done the right thing in the world.
"Good will triumph over evil!" Haruko walked over and excitedly grabbed Li Ling's arm. "The fate of these two beasts is proof of that!"
Ma Xiyu almost died at the hands of the Batman several times. At this moment, it was like losing his mind, frantically killing two batmen who had completely lost their resistance.
Remorseful for his cruelty, Li Ling turned his head away from looking at the barbaric picture. He remembered what someone had said: If justice carries pleasure, what is the difference between it and revenge?
"I have one thing to do, and I'll rush back as soon as possible." After a brief explanation, Li Ling turned around and was about to leave.
"Is it Qin Xiaoyu?!" Haruko immediately asked. The scene of Qin Xiaoyu roaring as fiercely as a demon possession was vivid, which made her carefully avoid the topic of Qin Xiaoyu, and she hoped that this matter would be a secret forever.
"Yes, I have to go to her!" Li Ling said in an unquestioning tone.
"You can't go!"
"Why?" Li Ling frowned.
"Because ......," Haruko thought. You can't ignore everyone's safety because of one person's selfish feelings! ”
Li Ling thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to push Haruko away.
Haruko stubbornly wanted to stand still, but there was a strong force in Li Ling's palm, and her body lost its balance and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Ma Xiyu finally noticed the dispute between the two, wiped the blood on his face and ran over, stood up beside Haruko and said, "Adjutant Li, don't forget our mission!" Qin Xiaoyu is also a member of the Guardians, and she should also know that her own safety is far inferior to that of the entire team of supporters......"
Ma Xiyu's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible. He saw that Li Ling's face became even paler, like frost.
"Bastard!" Li Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma Xiyu's clothes. "If I had thought so, you had become the dung of a beast, where would it be your turn to preach to me!?"
Ma Xiyu's face turned purple red because of shame, and she obediently stepped aside.
Before leaving, Li Ling left a sentence for Haruko: "Compared to the current strength, I prefer that shy priest girl." ”
……
Along the border between the river and the jungle, Li Ling kept moving forward with all his might.
He could hear a sound behind him, the sound of Haruko and Ma Xiyu chasing after him.
It didn't take long for the voice behind him to get farther and farther away, and it was about to disappear.
Li Ling didn't stop and wait for them, he had a feeling that every second was counting.
He fell several times in the dark, but it didn't affect his progress in the slightest.
In the early hours of the morning, Li Ling found the big tree on which he was tied up, and also found the hut where he and Qin Xiaoyu once lived, and there was no sound everywhere.
After a short time, Li Ling stood at Nayin's residence at the foot of the hillside.
Worried that Qin Xiaoyu might be imprisoned here, he didn't dare to break in rashly, but waited quietly outside.
Time passed little by little, and the early morning sun lit up the sky, and the house where Naine lived still didn't move.
A heavy pant sounded behind him, and Haruko and Ma Xiyu chased after him and stood in the distance watching him.
Li Ling clenched his fists and walked directly towards his residence. With a gentle push, the door of the residence opened, and all the furnishings were fully revealed
As Li Ling had seen, there was nothing but some dry wood and a brazier. Even the owner of the house, Nain, is nowhere to be found.
Li Ling's heart kept sinking, and he seemed to have fallen into a bottomless pit.
Footsteps sounded, and Haruko and Ma Xiyu also walked in, looking around curiously.
"What kind of place is this?! Adjutant Lee? Ma Xiyu asked.
Li Ling shook his head and leaned against the wall as if he had lost all his strength.
"This charcoal ...... It doesn't seem to have been extinguished for long. Haruko crouched down in front of the brazier.
Li Ling jumped to the brazier with one stride and plunged his left hand into the ashes.
"There's still warmth, in the neighborhood! Xiao Yu: They must be nearby! Li Ling trembled excitedly, and the ashes on his hands were scattered to the ground by him.
"Thank you, Haruko!" Li Ling smiled gratefully. "Wait a little longer!" After saying that, Li Ling rushed out without looking back.
Haruko's face was burned red by the eager light that burst out of Li Ling's eyes. She was sure that that fiery gaze existed only in the most affectionate lovers.
"It's a pity that it's not me!" Haruko thought bitterly.
"I'll take a look!" When Haruko was in a daze, Ma Xiyu also rushed out.
But he quickly turned back and said, "I'd better stay here and protect you!" ”
"I don't need to!" Haruko shook her head.
"Then take care!" Ma Xiyu said a word of advice and went out.
It didn't take long for Ma Xiyu to go and return again, panting and saying, "I've decided, let's wait for him here!" ”
"Hmm." Haruko nodded blankly. Thinking in his heart, what would happen after Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu met?
"Idle is idle, I'll go get us something to eat! My stomach was already growling. Ma Xiyu came over and enthusiastically suggested.
"You can do whatever you want, you don't have to ask me for instructions!" Haruko said impatiently.
"Hehe, I'm not a mercy ......" Halfway through the words, Ma Xiyu closed her mouth.
He once put the words "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" on his lips, and joked with Haruko more than once with this sentence. But now, as long as he's not a fool, anyone can see that Haruko's mind is on Li Ling.
