Chapter 295: Choice
Nobita looked at his freed hands with a bewildered expression, repeatedly confirming that he was not dreaming, and that the scene in front of him was not an illusion that he saw because of his excessive desire for freedom. After Emperor Nothingness, Ah Yi, Yin Xi, and Lindsay, it seems that there are people who want to gamble on themselves. If it had been left in the past, Nobita would have been disdainful of this kind of behavior of gambling with himself, but now that his life is gone, he naturally does what others say, and he has no complaints.
"You wait a while, don't be so excited, I see that your expression is about to die suddenly......" Ista squinted his eyes and complained angrily, "It is said that you Yulian people are not afraid of death, and the higher the rank, the more so, why do you look so spineless?" Is it as long as you can live, you can do anything? β
As soon as Nobita heard this, he nodded like a pounded onion, and with a flattering smile on his face, he simply wrote the word "soft bones" on his face.
"Hmm~~ah~~, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, it would have been unimaginable...... Such a guy would be the 'most dangerous person' in the new generation of Yulian. It's completely different from what the intelligence says. She held her head and shook her head, a look of disillusionment and regret.
As if he couldn't bear to see Nobita's "Nobita" in his mind continue to degenerate like this, Isha sighed, slowly turned around, and walked towards the large rectangular table where he was eating, leaving only Nobita's unguarded back to Nobita. The girl's hands were so dexterous that she opened several platinum jars one after the otherβthey had no signs on the surface and were identical in appearance, only that she had memorized what was inside. She took a few drops of the unidentified liquid from the jar, mixed it with powder, and the leaves were already a blue-purple flower, then poured hot water, and poured it all into a small shaker, covered it, and shook it between her hands.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"
Ishtar's movements were like shaking a can of bubble tea.
Looking at the girl's thin back and wings like light yarn, Nobita was stunned for a while, and then, an inexplicable murderous intent surged into his heart. Right now, at this moment, Ishtar had his back to him, defenseless. She's Blake's daughter, and theorist, she also uses the ancient magic called "Burst Ring". Once she uses the Explosive Ring, she has no chance of winning...... The only way to win is to sneak your way through, preferably with a weapon that can suffocate it, and slam it out......
Weapons, weapons......
He lowered his head, and naturally saw the untied handcuffs, the dim candlelight reflecting off it, and it looked cold.
Yes, there are chains between the handcuffs and the handcuffs. Bruce and Bruce had learned the ninja stealth way, and the treehouse was made of logs instead of planks, making it less easy to make noises when you walked up. He strangled her by wrapping the chain around her neck, then ransacked the treehouse to see if he could find any useful magic items, and then waited for an opportunity to escape......
β¦β¦
In the cold candlelight, Ista foamed at the mouth and had trouble breathing appeared in Nobita's mind. The back of his hand itched, as if he felt that the girl who was about to suffocate was clutching her hands weakly, her strength was getting smaller and smaller, her legs spasmed, her mouth foamed at the mouth, and her beautiful ruby eyes rolled upward.
Thinking about it, Nobita's breathing unconsciously became heavier, and the whole person's mental state was a little trance.
His eyes were also a little bloodshot, staring viciously at the delicate and lovely back of Ista not far away, his teeth clenched heavily, and the green tendons of his hands burst out, as if he was going to tear something apart. In such an unbearable silence, time is passing minute by minute, and a voice in Da Ambition's heart is reminding him that there is not much chance left for you to act, and if you don't do it, the initiative will slip away from your hands forever. There were times when he could barely take it anymore, leaning forward with aggressiveness, his hands clenching tightly on a chain that was the only weapon he had.
But...... In the end, he didn't do anything.
Every time his brain sent an attack signal, his body was forcibly held down by some more powerful force, and he couldn't move, so he had to sit on the ground with red eyes and be in a hurry. If he had to sum it up, the name of this force would be "morality", or it could be called "conscience".
It doesn't matter what Estar is planning, or what he may be trying to do with himself, but anyway...... She could have killed herself. She is a member of the Chaos Camp, a member of the Blood Clan, who has an unspeakable grudge against the Cult of the God of Life, and the current Pope of the Cult of the God of Life...... His name is Tree Yebi Stuttenne, and he happens to be inextricably linked to himself. About a month ago, her father, Blake Red Ring, came to Earth and was beaten by himself so fat that he almost didn't die in the ice...... It's no exaggeration to say that with so much hatred stacked up, Ishtar has every reason to hate herself, and it's normal for her to cut herself with a thousand knives.
However, she didn't, and so far she has been very kind to herself. The environment here is not a harsh asylum, but a girl's boudoir, and even Nobita can smell the unique sweet grape scent of Ista in the room.
What's more...... Seconds ago, she uncuffed herself.
Now I want to strangle her with handcuffed chains?
ββββ
"Ah, why are you still sitting on the ground, how cold is it? I've heard that humans on Earth are homeothermic animals, don't you feel cold? Just when Nobita was distracted, Ista had already quietly made a cup of hot tea, and when he turned around, he saw his expression of gritting his teeth, and couldn't help laughing, "Don't be so restrained, the vast universe, it's fate for the two of us to meet, find a place to sit." β
"Ah...... Thank you. Seeing that the time had passed, Da Xiong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he held on to the leg of the chair with some difficulty, slowly got up, and the moment he sat down, his expression was extremely hideous.
After relaxing, he remembered that there had been an intensive pursuit battle in the jungle before, and his body had already been wounded by spears, large and small, and his blood was about to run dry. Fang Cai was highly nervous, and he didn't realize that as soon as he relaxed now, his whole body hurt so much that the pain caused by muscle and soft tissue contusions was far more fatal than the wounds on the surface.
Seeing his bear-like appearance, Ishtar laughed happily, an incomparable joy that Nobita couldn't understand at all.
"This, this is the most promising next generation of Yulian...... Hahaha...... Ever since my father was folded in your hands, there have been more or less Chaos faction forces that have treated you like an immortal, and they are afraid that you will die. I should have taken a snapshot of you and let them see what you look like now, haha......"
β¦β¦
Probably this is murder.
Nobita shrugged his shoulders, touched the wound again, and grinned in pain, now that the tiger has fallen into Pingyang, it has fallen into the hands of others, so he has to lie down and laugh, nodding with a wry smile, "Yes, yes, the most promising newcomers in Yulian are all like me, and they are all useless like me...... You don't have to worry about it at all. β
It seemed to take a lot of effort for Ishtar to hold back his laughter, clear his throat, rejuvenate the dignified and graceful eldest lady, and said to him in a serious manner, "Thank you anyway. β
"No, you...... Thank me for what? This time it was Nobita's turn to understand, he had never heard of anyone thanking the prisoners, "I haven't done anything yet." β
The girl shook her head slightly, her lips and teeth slightly open, and spit out a string of words that made Nobita a little afraid.
"As I said just now, the bloodline is very sensitive to changes in the breath and body temperature of living things, and the strength of this ability is related to the purity of the bloodline. You've played against my father, so you must know it...... Our 'Red Ring' family is the king of the bloodline, so our bloodline is the purest. Take me for example...... I can easily monitor your heart rate fluctuations, breathing fluctuations, and the secretion of various hormones in your body to deduce your general mood. I can tell the difference between your aggression and your stability, and something more nuanced......" Esta stepped forward slowly, stood still in front of Nobita, and said with a smile, "Do you understand what I mean?" β
"Thank you for making me sure...... It's still possible for us to work together. β
This warm smile did not make Nobita feel relaxed, on the contrary, he only felt a chill and shudder in his back. This feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe is like a large knife flying over the scalp, cutting off a few hairs, and a few inches down to lift the Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Is it actually a temptation for her to expose her back, intentionally or unintentionally? If I chose to rush up and strangle her neck just now, now ......
He didn't dare to think any further.
I must have been crazy just now...... This is the enemy's base camp, and since Ista is the owner, this treehouse is the center of the base camp. What if he did strangle Ista to death? In this area full of enemies, there will be people patrolling regularly, such as the black-robed squad that captured them...... What's more, Ishtar is the owner of the island! He is the highest-ranking person in charge of the region. If such a character is suddenly gone, how long can he hide it? As soon as they pushed open the door and saw Istta's body lying on the ground, the next step was to search for themselves across the island. And I can't find a way to escape from here!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, can you really kill Ista smoothly?
β¦β¦
"Whew......" Nobita let out a breath, shook his somewhat disorganized brain, and took what Ishtar handed over.
It was a very nice smelling hot tea.
Despite being born in a country with a very strong tea culture, Nobita still has little interest in the leaves of the tree soaked in hot water...... His daily life is already very refreshing, and there is no need to rely on this thing to wake up his mind. But at this moment, the cup of hot tea handed over from Ista seemed to have another meaning, and he had mixed feelings, and he was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. He could only take the cup of hot tea with the scent of herbs with a trembling hand, and whispered "thank you".
The tea has a galaxy-like purple color, as if the stars have melted.
Anyway, there is no other choice now, in order to show trust, Nobita simply tilted his neck and drank this cup of tea cleanly, and no longer considered the problem of whether it was toxic or not. Come to think of it, if Estan had the heart to kill himself, there was no need to use such a superfluous way, he would have died more than 10,000 times.
"Gooo......"
"......" Ishtar nodded as he watched him drink the hot tea in one gulp, and smiled with satisfaction, "This thing is good for your body." β
As soon as the words fell, a warm current rose from Nobita's limbs, and the soreness of the muscles and the dull pain of the wound were wiped away. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wound that had just been glued instantly scabbed and faded, and the new skin was noticeably whiter than the surrounding area. On top of that, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead - it seemed that the excess energy had escaped again.
"Speaking of which, potions and the like were invented by human wizards." Seeing that he was still sitting in place after drinking his tea, Ishtar had no choice but to lean down, gently take the teacup from his hand, and bring it to the sink next to him to wash it off. Her voice became more and more erratic amid the sound of the water, like a string of wind chimes lost in the jungle, "Most of the Bloods are dismissive of this, because we carry the self-repair thing in our bodies...... It's really superficial enough. β
She washed the teacup, put it back in its original place, turned to Nobita and smiled, "Okay, Nobita-kun...... It's been a long night, so let's do something fun. You should already know that there are no men on Linglong Island, and you can't go out on the streets with your current appearance. What I have to do next is necessary, and please don't resist, it will be over soon. β
Nobita noticed that she had an extra box of foundation, a jar of bizarre face masks, a comb, and a lipstick.
