Chapter 310: Choice

Just looking back at it, it almost didn't scare Nobita's soul away.

He was stupid and stunned, unable to say a word. His legs, which were still stiff, suddenly lost sensation at this moment, supporting his body like two stones. In an instant, the sky spun around, and the stars hanging high in the night sky suddenly spun at a terrible speed, almost stunning his eyes. Only a "plop" sound was heard, and Nobita had already fallen firmly on the ground. The already tattered skirt seemed to have hooked a sharp small stone, and with a "Sla-" sound, a section was torn off. Combined with the bloodstains, mud, and leaves stuck to Nobita's body, a woman named Hanako survived.

But now is not the time to care about the image, in fact, since the beginning of the escape, Nobita has never cared what he looks like in the eyes of others - he has walked all the way on mountain roads, not on the suspension bridge in the canopy, so he has not met anyone. But at this moment, it is about to be completed, and finally crossed thousands of obstacles, difficulties and dangers, came to the stone pillar forest, and came to the terminal of this "journey", but suddenly a person popped out? Looking at her posture, it looks like she's been waiting here for a long time?

Nobita's mind froze suddenly, and the hope that had been laid for so long before was instantly shattered, and the resulting sense of disparity was enough to break a person in a short period of time, even a person like Nobita was no exception. After running for so long, so far, and still not escaping the scythe of death, this frustration almost broke his heart.

For some reason, his brain was so cold now, like the stinging sensation of a hangover on the street after drinking...... In a trance, the first word that came to his mind was betrayal.

Yes, I must have been betrayed...... It's just that this betrayal did not come from Istah, but from some subordinate, some inconspicuous person. She had insight into Istta's whole plan, and in order to avoid startling the snake, she deliberately kept quiet, and waited until she actually escaped before arranging people here! Now it's good, everyone has stolen goods, and if you catch it, Ishtar and himself will be finished. It seems that there are also "party disputes" on Linglong Island, but these disputes are hidden in the undercurrent and cannot be seen on the bright side......

……

The pain of falling short almost scared him crazy, and he sat on the ground with blank eyes and something in his mouth.

"Yes, that's right, it's party strife...... I became a victim of partisanship......"

However, in the next second, the man in the shadow walked out slowly, giving Nobita a little bit of hope, at least not so crazy anymore.

It's the girl I saw in the afternoon. Zhu Jiusi.

She stood here in silence as before, as if she had never left. In the abyssal darkness, Zhu Jiusi's dark eyes still revealed a bleak meaning, her expression never fluctuated much, and she was not surprised to see Nobita, but nodded to him from an undetectable angle.

Nobita couldn't help but wonder if this girl was a fixed NPC in the Pillar Forest, automatically appearing every time she came here, or if her spawn point was here? I don't think there's anything when I see it during the day, but I look at it again at night...... This girl is really scary.

There was no brilliance in her black pupils, and even the reflection of the starlight in the sky was dead, and there was no such glittering feeling at all. She may not be tall, but she exudes an imposing momentum from head to toe, especially when she is hostile to you...... That cold, numb, hard-as-stone gaze is like a dagger that pierces through your pupils, into your bone marrow, and dissects from the inside out.

In front of her, any exquisitely packaged secret will be dismantled and crushed, leaving no room for anything.

Not to mention Nobita's current state...... He couldn't have come up with a better lie. He painfully found that he could not use the advantage of "acquaintances" to deceive her, because no matter how good he was, he could not explain the ragged appearance of the moment. How to explain it? How can you tell the difference? Said to be beaten like this? Fighting is expressly forbidden on Linglong Island, according to the fake identity of "Damian", he still came to the island on the first day, and he didn't have time to connect with the enemy, how could he be beaten?

……

"Yo...... Jiusi, it's you......" It's not a way to keep talking like this, and seeing that Zhu Jiusi didn't look like he wanted to speak, Nobita could only hold on and say a nonsense first. The moment he spoke, he realized how much his voice was shaking, and the nervousness was simply visible to the naked eye! He himself knew that this seemed very suspicious, but now that the situation was urgent, the nervousness in his heart did not mean that he would take the land, it could only be like this.

Due to the height gap, Zhu Jiusi needed to raise her head slightly to meet Nobita, but her momentum had completely suppressed the other party. There was no doubt in her eyes, just calm, calm as a pool of stagnant water, without waves. It is precisely this kind of calm questioning that makes Nobita's lies made up in a hurry self-defeating.

"Uh, this, how do you say that...... It's complicated and may sound fake...... I was just listening to a concert in the middle of the island......"

“……”

Seeing Nobita's eyes fluttering, Zhu Jiusi directly made a "silence" gesture, anyway, there were only lies coming out of his mouth, so it was better not to listen.

She once again lifted the black book on her chest, opened it, and quickly turned to a blank page to face Nobita. A line of text suddenly appeared on the white snow wave paper, and at night when the five fingers were missing, this line of text even emitted a faint fluorescence. Not dazzling, but enough for people to see clearly, this magical magic technique amazes Nobita.

"Is there anyone chasing after you?"

This......

Between the lightning and flint, Nobita's brain spun rapidly, thinking about a response. When he escaped from the concert site, there were no pursuers behind him. But look at the wounds and mud all over the body, this embarrassment, it seems unrealistic to say that there is no one chasing behind you, and it will increase the suspicion of the other party. At the moment, the only way to stabilize Jiusi is to stabilize Jiusi first, and then slowly use words to slowly deal with her, and try to bring everything back as much as possible. At least until I get back a little bit of fitness...... When the time comes, whether it is war or peace, and then make plans.

In desperation, Nobita had no choice but to nod.

"Did you get rid of them, then?"

Nobita hesitated for a moment, then nodded again.

Jiusi nodded to him as well, put away the black book, and held it back to his chest. Then, as if nothing had happened, she turned her head again, paced back into the shadow of the stone, looked up, and stared at the night without saying a word. Looking at the girl's eyes, the sky was densely covered with stars, weaving into a glittering net, and nebulae of various colors were hanging high in it, as if implying endless mysteries, and they could not be penetrated.

As for who is chasing him, how long he has been chasing, and why he is chasing him...... She didn't even have the slightest intention of asking, but Daxiong was up and down in her heart, and she couldn't live in peace.

She was so immersed in the mystery of the stars, motionless, like a stone sculpture. No wonder Nobita couldn't find her just now...... When Jiu Si starts stargazing, the whole person is still, and if you stay away from her, you may think that her breathing, heartbeat, and thinking have all stopped.

……

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the following, Nobita's heart was like a cat's claw, and he couldn't settle down. This man, this is the place where the scumbag is made. Others obviously don't plan to pursue it, but he just thinks that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he just thinks that it is abnormal for her to accept it so calmly, and he is not at ease if he doesn't make things clear.

So I heard him ask stupidly, "Ninety-four, ...... you Don't you think I'm weird? ”

Zhu Jiusi was woken up by his unique "mysterious" state when stargazing, his pupils shrank, his brows frowned slightly, and there was a slight anger between his eyebrows. She glanced at Nobita, and the meaning in her eyes was quite obvious: Grandma doesn't want to pursue your things at all, and you still have to ask me to understand what's going on? The five elements owe scolding?

She quickly lifted the ancient book, opened it, and lifted it high, a posture of a keyboard warrior about to spray. But...... After all, Zhu Jiusi is still a person who learns the Tao, and the world calls him a "believer". As a believer, self-image management is also very important, and it is best to speak with a little fairy wind and bones, and a person with a dirty mouth will definitely not be the kind of believer who is widely recognized by the world. For this reason, she quickly passed through the pure heart recipe three times in her mind, and once passed a small passage of the Tao Te Ching, which suppressed the fire in her stomach. Fortunately, she doesn't have any expression on weekdays, so Nobita can't see the turbulent waves in her heart.

"......" She took a breath and began to read and write on the ancient book, every stroke was very steady.

"I should have told you that when I was a child, my family was very poor, there was no food and no money, and my father and mother died of famine." She wrote, "My brother and I were dying of hunger and had nothing to eat, so we had to go out into the streets to tell fortunes to others, begging them to give us something to eat. At that time, we were all children, and naturally no one wanted to believe in doing such a thing, and after a busy day's work, we didn't earn a single copper plate, tired and hungry, and we were not far from death. ”

"When the sun was about to set, my brother and I sat hungry under a locust tree, panting for breath and almost fainting. My brother wanted to steal something to eat, but he couldn't, so he went to the shops that sold pancakes and ran. But bad luck, that day coincided with the entry of the Yuan soldiers into the city. At that time, the most superior Yuan people killed the lowest Han people, and the compensation required was nothing more than a donkey. If you kill the kind of lonely person, maybe even a donkey will be saved...... My brother and I are the kind of lonely people, and if we collide with the Yuan people, we don't know how we died. So my brother didn't grab anything that day, and finally only came back with a bucket of water. We drank so hard that our stomachs were bursting, but we still felt hungry. ”

Unconsciously, Nobita was fascinated by this tragic but true story, and his mind gradually calmed down. He just looked at Zhu Jiusi, such a petite and thin girl, but she was writing the story of the past with almost emotionless strokes. He imagined in his mind that Zhu Jiusi's voice must be that kind of cold, cold, undulating voice...... Having seen the darkest and most terrifying part of human nature, that dream of a soap bubble could no longer move her easily.

"When we were about to starve to death, a man dressed in brocade clothes, surrounded by a large group of servants, came up to us and said that he wanted us to tell him his fate. Actually, I was ...... at the time. You can see the 'qi' in a person's body, and this person is not far from death. But in order to eat, I just praised him with all my might, saying that he was blessed and would live longer than Nanshan in the future. At that time, people were also very superstitious, and they listened to some auspicious words to feel at ease. Then he gave us what little was left over from the previous night, and in those days it was simply a ...... for the poor to eat this kind of thing Good luck. Thanks to that meal, we survived. ”

"Sometimes, people deceive people for a variety of reasons. Some are malicious, some are because there is really no way to do it. If you don't lie today, you'll die on the streets tomorrow, and you won't even have a person to collect the body. ”

"I've experienced that kind of desperate lying myself, so I understand you. You must have your own reasons, your own difficulties, and you can't talk to others. The most important thing is that I believe in you, and I don't think you're a big traitor, at least, for me. ”

"So, you don't have to talk to me about anything, you don't have to explain anything to me. I don't have to go to great lengths to make up lies, and whatever happens tonight, I'll act like I didn't see it. ”
