Chapter Twenty-Five: Jason's Story
"If I hadn't come here for an adventure, you wouldn't have hurt like this. If I hadn't been willful to explore that wall, Captain Jason wouldn't have been attacked by wolves. Xianxian said guiltily.
"If you have time to blame yourself, you might as well think about how to save yourself." Captain Jason also seemed to regain consciousness.
"You're recovering too fast, aren't you? With such a serious injury, he was almost torn in two......" Xianxian was shocked, I really didn't know what the structure of their body was, was that elixir really so magical?
"It has the effect of a blood pear." Captain Jason said.
The monster glanced at the blood pear on the ground, although he hated this fruit, but he had to admit that this time he was saved by it.
"Let's analyze the current situation first." Captain Jason said calmly.
"It's far more dangerous here than we thought, we shouldn't go any deeper, we should evacuate as soon as possible." The monster said, "We met two wild wolves just now, and we don't know what will happen next. β
"My men have come in before, and he has indeed seen the private treasury and the treasures." "We started by following the route he provided. But the two of you have deviated from the route, and I have no choice but to come to you, only to be attacked by wild wolves on the way. β
"What exactly did you two see?" Jason asked, not believing that the two of them would leave the group on purpose, that something must have happened.
"I'll tell you." She glanced at the monster and motioned for him to rest a little longer.
"What I see is not what you see." Xian Yan said.
Jason looked at the firecracker inexplicably, "What do you mean?" β
The monster frowned, wondering if it was the right decision to confide the truth to Jason.
"I'm actually human." "I see that the road ahead is open, but all you can see is a wall. It's clear that someone has been tampered with here. It's not for humans, it's for canine people. β
"But as far as I can turn out, I'm unharmed as a human, and both of you are seriously injured." "I think this is a trap for you. β
"Private vaults, treasures, etc., are just bait." Xian Yan said.
Jason frowned and looked at him in confusion.
"Are you really human?" Jason asked.
"Yes, I'm the owner King has been looking for. There are very few canines who know this secret. She replied.
Jason burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xianxian looked at him suspiciously.
"I didn't expect to have a chance to meet you." Jason seemed to be in a good mood, "If we can get out alive, I'll go to the dynasty with you." β
"Didn't you reject me before?" Xianxian asked.
"I'm rejecting you as a canine, not you as a human." Jason said.
Xianxian looked at him strangely, "Don't you hate humans?" β
"I hate humans, but I don't hate you." Jason continued, "I'm getting a little interested in your plan. β
Xian Xian looked at him vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" β
"I want to help you." Jason said seriously.
The monster on the side looked at Jason in disbelief. He never thought that Jason would defect to the camp, and would be willing to help humanity?
"Two, don't digress." The monster reminded, "Let's get out of here alive first." β
"Let's get back to the point, since this is a trap for canines, does it mean that I am useless to humans?" She said what she had guessed in her heart.
"What do you want to do?" The monster suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I'd like to try it alone." Xian Xian said solemnly.
Jason looked at the monster in silence.
"I disagree!" The monster said angrily.
"I might be able to find a way out." Burnt looked at the monster earnestly.
"Just in case, you might as well tie the rope to your body." Jason pulled a new roll of rope out of his backpack and threw it at him.
She took the rope and immediately tied it around her waist. "I'll take a look around first, the wolf seems to be afraid of fire, you'd better not let the fire go out."
She cautiously surveyed her surroundings, but her visibility was very small due to the fog.
"What are your intentions in approaching Nancy?" The monster couldn't see the figure of the fire, so he asked the doubts in his heart.
"Are you a little overprotective of her?" Jason looked at him with a smile on his face.
"You're the iron-blooded general who terrifies humanity, and I don't believe you'll suddenly be willing to help humanity." The monster said.
"I'm a soldier, and a soldier only listens to orders. The order I received was to slaughter humans, so I would not hesitate to carry it out. "But I'm not a soldier anymore. β
"Retired soldiers are also soldiers, right?" The monster was puzzled.
"My business is not just about retirement. I was dismissed from the military and expelled from the military. Jason explained.
"What's going on?" The monster looked at him in disbelief.
"General, a small human village has been found ahead."
Jason turned around and glanced at the village behind him that was being burned by fire, all the old and weak, women and children were buried in the flames. He could clearly hear the mournful cries of the old man and the child before they died.
"General, let's go to the next village. It's all burned like this, and there will be no more living. A soldier said quickly.
"Let's go." Jason frowned and moved on to his next goal. Ever since the defeat of the human rulers, the canines have been slaughtering humans. Although he didn't like to do such things, as long as he was a general for a day, he had to obey military orders.
At first, because of the resentment of human beings in his heart, he killed people like hemp, and only when he saw the blade of blood would he have the pleasure of revenge. But later, he gradually lost his pleasure, he didn't want to let his blade be stained with blood anymore, and he chose cremation for humanity. Everywhere he went, he would arrest the humans and lock them up, and then set fire to everything, leaving everything to dust and dust.
With each village wiped out, he prayed that it would be the last. But just as nightmares never stop, it seems that humanity will never be able to slaughter them all. His heart grew tired of it, and he began to question his life, about his duty. The first rebellion was a fight for the freedom of canine people. But now that the canine man is free, what is he fighting for?
As he approached the village, Jason suddenly ordered everyone to stay put. He walked alone towards the village, and when he came to the village gate, he met a little girl.
"Uncle, are you here to ask for water?" The little girl's eyes widened and she looked at him without fear.
Jason's footsteps paused, "Well, I'll take a sip of water." β
"Wait, there's still a little water in my tank." The little girl smiled and said, and the little girl immediately turned around and ran home, took out a worn-out porcelain bowl, filled a bowl with a scoop, and then returned to the village entrance with the bowl in her hand.
Jason took the old bowl from her hand and drank it down. "Thank you. What are you doing at the entrance of the village? β
"Wait for my mom and dad." The little girl's smile was so sweet that she never knew what war was.
"Where did they go?" Jason asked.
"They went to the village next door to sell grain." The little girl replied.
Jason looked up, in the direction of the village. I'm afraid it's burned down there, and the little girl's parents are among them.
Jason retracted his fierce gaze, lowered his head and said to her, "Can you play a game with your uncle?" β
The little girl looked confused, "What game?" β
"Hide and seek. I'll give you a pearl necklace, and you take the necklace and hide it. If I don't find you, this necklace belongs to you. Jason pulled a pearl necklace out of his arms.
"Leave the village and hide. I'll come to you in a moment. Jason's smile was very gentle at the moment, and he didn't know why, he suddenly wanted to save this girl, and he didn't want such a beautiful little life to be lost in the fire.
"If you can't find me, is this necklace mine?" The little girl asked in surprise.
Jason nodded and said softly, "Hide, don't come out no matter what happens." Don't let me find you. β
The little girl took the necklace from Jason's hand and immediately ran into the woods. Hide-and-seek games, she's the best at it. He wouldn't have found her.
Jason glanced at the peaceful village, then turned to leave.
"General, can we act?" The soldiers on the side were already eager to try.
"Let's do it." Jason's voice was extremely indifferent, and he was like the one who appeared in front of the little girl just now.
Jason stood quietly in place, looking at the woods, he wasn't going to look for the little girl, and he didn't want the girl to find him.
"General, it's been settled." The soldier came to report the progress, "Just now a little girl suddenly ran out of the woods, and I hacked her to death. β
Jason's brows tightened, and anger welled up in his eyes, "What did you say?" β
"I slashed and killed a little human girl." The soldier smiled and said, "It's good that I'm clever enough to keep an eye on the woods." Otherwise, there will be fish that slip through the net. β
"You're asking me for credit?" Jason couldn't hold back his temper anymore and kicked him away.
His only redemption for himself was destroyed in this way. He ran wildly in the direction of the entrance of the village, saw the corpse on the ground, and stopped.
A living life, but now only a dead body remains. He broke the girl's hand and picked up the necklace and put it in his arms.
The soldier who had been kicked down just now was looking at Jason in surprise.
"General, that's your pearl necklace? Why is it in her hands? The soldier asked, confused, "Is it you......?"
Jason silently picked up the girl and walked into the woods.
He still couldn't save her.
At the end of the mission, Jason was reported and dismissed from the military by the FΓΌhrer for harboring crimes against humanity.
"You were expelled from the military for the sake of humanity?" The monster could barely recognize the person in front of him.
"I just feel tired. Canines are now free, so why are they chasing after humans? And those people are unarmed and live a life without a fight. Why should they also be drawn into the war? Jason sighed.
"After I was expelled from the army, I came to the hidden area." "It's a place where humans and canines don't interfere with each other, and they don't have to hurt each other. β
The monster frowned and asked, "Then you approached Nancy and really wanted to help?" β
"Yes, I think she's the hope for peace." Jason smiled, "Because she can influence King, and King can influence the other six FΓΌhrers." β
The monster was silent, he had never thought about it so much, although he had done such a thing as slaughtering humans, but it was not as tragic as the martial arts area. King deals with human problems in a relatively gentle manner.
"I don't think you should get your hopes up, King's mind is always unpredictable." After thinking about it, the monster said, "This meeting of the heads of state, they will definitely talk about the treatment of humans. β
Jason frowned, "Which side are you on?" King, or Nancy? β
"I'll always be loyal to King." The monster said decisively.
"What if King orders you to kill Nancy?" Jason asked suddenly.
The monster hesitated for a moment, "There won't be such an if, King can't ......"
"Will you follow his orders? Kill Nancy with your own hands. Jason asked, "You're going to hesitate, aren't you?" β
The monster lowered its head and said nothing. Indeed, he will hesitate, he will not be able to make a move. He has his own will, but he is also a soldier. If killing Nancy was King's right judgment, he would have to do it.
"Do you want to leave the army too?" Jason suggested.
The monster was stunned, and suddenly remembered the personnel arrangements that King had made. What was the point of King transferring the four of them out of the army and staying with Nancy?
Xianxian groped his way forward in the mist, and he didn't know how long he had walked, and finally saw a path. She continued along the trail and saw an old house with a courtyard house.
"Is this their destination?" Xian Xian's heart was full of questions.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, the rope around his waist tightened. Xianxian hesitated for a moment, but decided to untie the rope first and press it under the big stone on the side of the road.
She gently pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. On the ground in the courtyard, a thick layer of fallen leaves was piled up. The feet of the squirrel will make a "rustling" sound when they step on it. From the moment she entered the courtyard, she felt strange, as if there was a magical force pulling her, and she walked straight towards the room directly opposite the gate, without the slightest hesitation.
She pushed open the second door, which was clearly the main hall for the reception. She walked to the shrine, explored the candlesticks on the table, and sure enough, opened the chamber.
At this moment, Xian Xian was a little panicked, why did she come here so smoothly? Finding the Chamber of Secrets so smoothly? Should she go on or not? What exactly awaits her?
Xian Xian plucked up the courage and decided to find out. She stepped onto the ladder that led to the tunnel, and climbed down step by step. As soon as she stepped on the ground, she pulled a lighter out of her pocket. Then, noticing a lamp and a candle not far away, she walked over and picked up the candle and lit it.
Observing the surroundings carefully, the basement is not large, about 100 square meters. What struck her as strange were the erected black instruments.
She leaned closer to the instruments and examined them closely, and saw that they seemed to reveal a slight chill. Xian Xian reached out and touched the instrument switch. Suddenly, a small window opened, revealing a face that was terrifyingly familiar to her.
