Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dark Pact
CHAPTER XXXV
Liu Qing and Xu Qing attract some witches, but they obviously fight multiple witches in a jungle full of witch traps. Soon the two were captured alive. But strangely, they weren't killed. Instead, he was brought to Lu Qiming.
At this time, Lu Qiming had obviously reached some kind of agreement with the big witch Muriel. Because the other party directly signaled to his subordinates, let Xu Qing and Liu Qing go.
"Human, I've now done what you asked. As agreed, you can go now. ”
"Of course, I have no doubt about the sincerity of Her Excellency the Witch. But I still need a little reassurance. After all, I don't understand magic, and I only believe in profit. ”
Lu Qiming's hand suddenly exerted force, and the Enma Knife stabbed into a child's heart. In the disbelief of the children, he killed one of them. And Liu Qing and Xu Qing did not show the slightest change in their expressions about this, obviously all this was planned for a long time.
"You dare to ......" Mu Lier was furious, and the magic power on her body surged, making Lu Qiming feel a huge threat. But he never changed his face to look at Muriel. Not a single step back.
"It's just a small insurance, and the dead child was born in June. And there is a child born in June in the town, and it is already under my control. We went back with these children to complete our mission. Then what you want to do, it's all your freedom, and we absolutely don't interfere. After all, consciousness is going to take place tomorrow night. Of course, if we can't get back safely, the last child born in June will have to be searched for hundreds of miles away in a town. Hopefully, time is still in time. ”
In all fairness, this is the darkest plan Lu Qiming has made since entering the reincarnation world. In his life, he never thought that he would kill an innocent child in cold blood. But he did, and he didn't know what it would do for the rest of his life. But in the world of reincarnation, he can only think about the present.
Mu Lier stared at Lu Qiming and suddenly laughed.
"Hehehehe, that's funny, you're the funniest human I've ever seen. It looks like you're also bound by some kind of rule that you can't get rid of. It's interesting, but you have to remember that no one can break the contract they made with me. ”
With her words, a vague line appeared on Lu Qiming's wrist. The other end of the thread connected to Muriel's wrist. Obviously, they didn't just make a verbal agreement. There is also some kind of magical contract signed.
On the other side, Wei Xingyun and the three of them took the children they caught and hid in an abandoned hut in the jungle. At this time, Cao Juan and Lin San also understood Lu Qiming's plan.
"Is it really good for us to do this? It's just a kid? Are we really going to give him to those witches? ”
"It's not up to us to decide whether it's good or not. And, if everything in our minds is true, then everything we do is taken for granted. In order to survive, I could do something a hundred times worse than this. The mindset of the two of you is very dangerous right now. Do not let the senior ones perceive your thoughts, they are very dangerous. ”
Although Lu Qiming did not explain his plan in detail, Wei Xingyun still understood his intentions. The mission said that no other conditions were set for the rescue of all the children. The time, place, and manner are not set. So no matter what method is used, it is the same when it is rescued.
As for what happens after they are rescued, it's none of their business as reincarnators. He guessed that Lu Qiming would definitely use the child in his hand to reach some kind of agreement with those witches.
And Lin San and Xu Juan don't think so. For a newcomer, a change in mindset is the most important thing. So far, there have been several battles in Surian, but the newcomers have not suffered much damage. Therefore, their change of thinking is not complete enough. Having not experienced the threat of life and death, they cannot understand this means of doing whatever it takes to survive.
Both Cao Juan and Lin San were very uneasy about this. But they didn't have the ability to resist Wei Xingyun, because not long ago, they saw Wei Xingyun kill two strong men and take the child away in ten seconds. Lin San secretly compared the combat effectiveness between each other, and finally sadly found that he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for five seconds.
Just as the three of them were waiting a little tormentedly, there was a sudden noisy voice outside. There was a whole bunch of people coming this way. Wei Xingyun's face changed, and he got up and leaned on the window to watch.
"Damn, they've found it." This is the disadvantage of these outsiders, who are not familiar with the terrain here. In this kind of jungle, it is difficult to completely hide from the hunters or farmers. If you go deeper, you will easily get lost, and when you get closer, it will be easy to be found by the other party as you are now.
The most important thing is that when Lu Qiming and others checked the town's birth register before, they had already exposed the witches' intentions. The mayor and others are already deliberating and gathering the remaining children. Lu Qiming was worried that under their extreme fear, they would kill those children in advance, so he asked Wei Xingyun to act in advance and take the children on his side. After all, this kid is his bargaining chip. But I didn't expect this to bring trouble to Wei Xingyun and others.
"They caught up. What to do, let's give the children back to them, shall we? Cao Juan was the first to collapse. Seeing dozens of menacing town residents outside, she actually opened her mouth to want to return the child.
Wei Xingyun glanced at her coldly. This made Cao Juan shut up suddenly. Wei Xingyun didn't even bother to talk to her. In this situation, in the face of a group of irrational mobs, handing over the children is basically handing over their lives to that group of irascible madmen. On the contrary, keeping this child gives them a chance to live.
Because the other party has a hound, it is impossible to avoid the other party's tracking. Wei Xingyun is a killer, but he is not proficient in jungle warfare, not to mention that he only has a revolver and a shotgun that he got from the sheriff. The firepower is not at all the same level as the group of people outside. Unless he is a super shooter like Liu Qing, there is no chance of winning in a head-to-head match.
"Listen, you two, as long as this child is in our hands. They won't dare to come in, we just have to hold on until the three veterans come back. I don't ask you to do anything, but don't mess with me. Look at which child, just wait for my signal. ”
Wei Xingyun said, the shotgun bullet loaded. A shot was fired directly through the window, knocking out the hounds at the front. This caused confusion in the crowd on the other side. They scattered and fled in all directions, hiding behind trees or rocks.
Wei Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and the other party knew that he was afraid. I don't need to kill those people, I just want to wait for Lu Qiming and the others to return.
