Chapter 74: Death (2)
"Hmm... His heart was displaced, and he was completely lifeless. Ink Frost thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Yes... It was the smell of corpses. β
At that time, he felt that there was a strong earthy smell on this person's body. And there is a faint smell besides the earthy. This smell can't be smelled by humans, but as a demon race, its six senses are far superior to those of humans and other races, so he smells it. It was only because of the mixture of several scents and the fact that the corpse stench was not noticeable that he didn't react to what it wasβuntil the witch's reminder.
"Corpse stench?" Ziwu's eyes widened slightly, "So, have you found the grouper?"
Ink Frost shook her head: "The Terrans are old, and there will be many spots. Even if there were corpse spots, I couldn't tell the difference. β
"If a person who should have died a long time ago is still alive by now. It must have been with some kind of power. The message of the left envoy should not be wrong, he cannot be of an alien race. Ziwu's expression was grim.
"You mean, Shinozhu should be in this room?" Ink Frost understood, and her eyes looked around as if she wanted to see through something.
"Well, a foreign object that can have the power to defy the sky, coupled with a series of clues collected by the Zuo Quan Envoy before, it seems that there is a high probability that it is Xiaozhu...... No wonder, I can't find it. β
"What's the matter with the translocation of his organs? Ink Frost pondered.
"It's very likely, but it's none of our business, our purpose is to find and return Shinozu. Ziwu smiled and patted the ink cream, "It's up to you next, this camp, I can only explore the periphery at most, the inside of the house, I don't dare to come in and destroy good things." β
Ink Frost opened Ziwu's hand fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "I will do my best." β
"What kind of expression do you have, finish the task early and go back early. Do you still want to be happy here?" Ziwu smiled at the strange beast that hated it at the moment, and quipped.
Ink Frost ignored him and got out of bed to eat.
After a long silence, the beast asked again, "Are they nearby?"
The class who served the ink cream said seriously: "Why do you ask me about this, I don't know very well. I only know that your left power wants them to turn from light to darkness. As for where they are now, how can they tell me. β
Ink Frost fell silent, thinking as she ate, her expression changed, blue and white.
Ziwu looked at the wonderful look on the face of the person in front of him and said tentatively: "What do you think, the expression is so rich." β
β... It's nothing..."Ink Frost said quickly, turning her face away.
"Don't look back on some things, review yourself to find blockages. As if knowing what he was thinking, Ziwu began to comfort him every day.
Ink Cream didn't say anything, but her brows tightened, almost twisted into a pimple.
"Do you have anything to do with old things?" Suddenly, he asked.
Ziwu looked at Mo Shuang puzzled and said, "Didn't Zuo Quan tell you when he handed over the task?"
"It's about it, but it's too little. Ink Frost said, "I want to know exactly." β
"You know exactly what to do, and you don't go to stammering people or going to assassination, hahaha......" Saying that, Ziwu watched Mo Shuang's face sink, and his dark eyes stared at him motionlessly, he was stunned, and his smile froze on his face: "You...?" οΌβ
Ink Frost's eyes were full of determination when she looked at him, she didn't say anything, but she had already made her attitude.
Ziwu shook his head and said, "Don't say that you can't do this without the order of the left envoy." Even if you do kill him, what's the point? He's just afraid he's already a dead man!"
"If it's a dead person, die again!" said Ink Frost.
Ziwu covered his forehead with a headache: "If you kill him, it will ruin the plan." β
"How can I ruin the plan by doing it after I get Shinozhu!"
Ziwu thought about it and shook his head: "You and I don't know if this person will be useful in the future." Don't make your own claims. If it's an independent plan, it doesn't matter if you kill it. But no one can guess how you left power envoys behave...... No, you're taking a lot of risk!"
Mo Shuang looked at the person who blocked it and questioned, "Is that all I have been humiliated about?... Since... As soon as I fled that place, I swore that I would not spare anyone who had humiliated me!"
"I understand your pain, but... I can't do this thing, if you mess up, don't say you don't know what punishment you will receive, it's hard to say that we will be implicated... You might as well go back and ask for your life in person, Zuo Quan is not an unreasonable person. β
Ink Frost lowered her head, her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but her voice was as small as a mosquito: "I! I've had enough...... What is the difference between me and those people in the Red Mansion?!"
Ziwu sighed slightly when he listened: "I know how you feel, as a class, I know it very well. β
Ziwu sat down next to Mo Shuang and whispered, "We often do such things. Who doesn't have shame? Who doesn't want to give their best things to their loved ones?" As he spoke, his expression began to drift into the distance, and he sighed leisurely: "But sometimes you have to sacrifice something to achieve a certain goal and complete a certain task. β
"You guys...?" Ink Frost looked up at Ziwu.
"This kind of trick of seduction is actually not clever at all. Hehe...... It's all rotten!" Ziwu laughed dryly.
β...... I'm sorry..."Ink Frost looked down, feeling a little suffocated.
"If I can teach you, it means that I have also been taught by others. In the rebels, this is even a compulsory course for everyone. In particular, those who are outstanding in appearance will be asked for more. Ziwu seemed to remember something, and his face showed a bitterness that he had never felt before: "Actually, everyone resisted at first, but later, when we thought of it, we could have one more ability, and we would have one more means to deal with the enemy, and our hope of recovering the clan would be greater...... Maybe this kind of accumulation can make the rebels grow stronger and stronger enough to achieve their goals one day?"
"Even if it's just a little bit of enhancement and hope, we can't let it go. Ziwu looked at Ink Frost seriously, "You will never experience the bitter oppression of a race that has been reduced to a thousand years and become beasts. β
Ink Frost looked up, and the two of them just looked at each other.
"Why did you demon clan secretly ally with us, I don't know. But I think something must have happened. To tell the truth, the strength of the rebels is currently only a drop in the ocean, and it is not worth the alliance of your high-ranking left envoys. Haven't you thought about the mystery of this?" Ziwu's face was serious, but his tone was a little helpless.
"I ......" Ink Cream was a little speechless.
"So, I don't think it's a good way to get revenge by killing that old man. From the perspective of your demon clan, what I am afraid of is to pull the whole body. And stand on the side of the rebels...... I don't have much to say. Ziwu changed his complexion and said with a smile: "Hey, it's me who has a lot of trouble." I just think you left power are pitiful, haha. β
Mo Shuang's eyes were puzzled, and he couldn't understand what the person in front of him was saying.
Ziwu waved his hand and said, "Eat quickly, I'll put away the bowl after eating." β
The person before the meeting didn't mean to explain anymore, and the ink cream ate silently again.
He was full of doubts, and his mind was full of words.
A few days passed, and a few weeks passed...... Gradually, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The beast no longer mentioned the matter of the old man with the blade, but more carefully and patiently probed the whereabouts of the bead.
Until one day, the old man almost fainted in bed, hurriedly buckled somewhere on the bed board, a machine expanded and popped out a faint pearl, he didn't care about the beast beside him, took the pearl fiercely, pressed it under his nose and sucked it up, that look, as if someone was stuck in the throat, about to suffocate, suddenly let go again, the demand for air is so greedy and forgetful.
Ink Frost sat up slowly, squinting and looking coldly at the old man's rickety back and his twitching body.
The old man's body slowly flowed with a sense of vitality that he had never felt before. Ink Frost seemed to faintly see a layer of wrapped white light on his withered body, and as the white light became more and more intense, the old man's torso seemed to have some kind of indescribable change.
Is that the bead hidden in the bed?!
At that moment, the long-humiliated beast suddenly felt better, and the heavy dragon tail couldn't help but swing, and a triumphant smile hung on the corner of its mouth.
What should I do, do I grab it now?
Ink Frost's expression became entangled again after a short time.
Wu Feng only said that handing over the beads to him was considered to be the completion of the task, but he didn't say whether the beads were stolen or robbed. Thinking of Ziwu's words not long ago, he was afraid that he would accidentally ruin the follow-up plan that would exist.
In the middle of the ink cream's dilemma, the old man seemed to have sucked the beads' anger to his heart's content. The man who was dying before became refreshed.
Ink Frost frowned, but it was too late.
When the old man took the beads and turned back, the strange beast regained its expressionless face, and looked at the old man blankly, as if he had a lot of puzzlement.
Hamo Chayan glanced at the strange beast, but he didn't mind what terrible scene it saw, he just stretched out his hand and touched Ink Cream's face and said gently, "Baby, I'm snubbing you." Then he went up again.
Allowed to be treated unreasonably by the people on his body, Ink Frost pretended to cater to him, but secretly he was concentrating on the position where the bead was placed. The thin spiritual power that he blessed himself with the left power condensed a trace of residual thoughts on the beads, just in case.
As expected, the beads were removed without the gods knowing. But fortunately, Ink Frost was prepared and sought an opportunity to inform Ziwu of the appearance and location of the orb. In the dead of night, Ziwu found the beads, exchanged the fake for the real, and then began to plan a retreat.
......
A few days later, Hamoyan's cronies began to send spy announcements to arrest the thief - a species, a strange beast. At the same time, he began to send people to Namor to ask for guilt. However, according to the express report, Mozha Hantuo did not go back, and he said that he was completely unaware of the birthday gift. After several months of investigation, it was discovered that the birthday team originally sent by Namor was intercepted and killed in a three-regardless area where various forces converged, and among this group, only Mozahantuo was missing. But a few days later, the bodies of Mozha and his party were found on the edge of a desert, and their belongings were looted. There were obvious rut marks around them, loaded with heavy loads, but the cart and its contents were missing.
After this incident, the relationship between the two companies began to gradually break down, and the partners who had trusted each other in the past gradually became estranged and eventually became strangers. This is not to be said later.
