Chapter 136: The Thorn King (3)
"Looks like your plan has worked." The young man in white turned his head to look at the red signal flares and billowing smoke in the distance, "It's amazing." ”
Zhao Gao shrugged, "It's their plan, not mine." ”
The Night King looked at him from afar, "And what's your plan?" ”
Zhao Gao shook off the scabbard, raised the long knife, and said coldly, "Kill you."
Zhao Gao stood at the door of the hall, the Night King sat on his throne, the two of them stood up and down one after the other, separated by more than ten meters, two equally young faces, the same black short hair and brown pupils, looking like a pair of brothers. Outside the window, dark clouds overw the city, and the craggy ruins of Shanghai were shrouded in a drizzle, and the rain flowed down the glass, and the lightning flashed.
After many years, the brave man finally stood in front of the throne of the demon king.
The Demon King suddenly laughed, he slapped his hands and got up, and walked down from the throne step by step.
"That's good."
"Nice?"
"You've finally come to me, and you're a little bit brave." "I've waited a long time for this moment, and when I sit in this chair, I often think...... When and in what manner will you push open this door? I used to read history, and it was recorded in the history books that a man named Jing Ke, with a bounty on his head, approached the king of that country in the name of offering a map, went alone into the palace of the enemy country, and then drew a dagger at the last moment. ”
"He failed."
"That's right, he failed." The Night King nodded, "But he's brave, braver than anyone else of his time, do you remember what I once said?" The brave can only step into the palace of the demon king with one thing, all the people who step into the palace bring hatred, no one will choose anything else, such as family affection, such as life, because if you choose life, then you will not step into this door at all, all the brave are outlaws who abandon everything. ”
"Be an outlaw like Jing Ke, Zhao Gao." The Night King smiled, "How did a person who cherished his life step into the palace of King Qin?" ”
The young man in white clapped his palms, the side door of the tourist hall was pushed open, and a young maid in a white dress came in, holding a plate with two glasses of wine on the plate.
Zhao Gao was a little surprised, this was the first time he had seen other survivors outside the safe zone. The academy once conducted an investigation and came to the conclusion that there were no other survivors in Shanghai except for them, because the city lacked fresh water and food, and was full of zombies and hunters.
Unaware of the existence of a monster like the Night King in the city, the Academy sheltered and enslaved a large group of survivors to survive.
The young maid had long black withered hair, a very pale face, a thin build, and obviously very malnourished, like a fugitive who had just come out of some concentration camp, and she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look up, and her body trembled slightly, obviously extremely frightened.
The Night King took a glass of wine from the plate and motioned for the maid to give another glass of wine to Zhao Gao.
The maid was obviously also seeing a stranger for the first time, she secretly looked up at Zhao Gao, her eyes showed extreme surprise, when the girl looked up, Zhao Gao saw her face clearly, a warm Asian girl face, looking less than twenty years old.
Zhao Gao swept a glass of wine on the plate and did not reach out to take it.
The Night King gently rippled the clear dark red liquid from the goblet, "95-year-old Ozon Castle, this is the best wine I have here. ”
"As far as life is concerned." Zhao Gao glanced at him, and his tone was a little contemptuous, "You really deserve the title of king." ”
The young man in white smiled and shook his head, "Have you forgotten?" I am God, and the extravagant life in the eyes of you humans means nothing to me, and I have no interest in such a thing as alcohol, and I entertain you with your human manners, and give you good wine, because you are a guest. ”
Zhao Gao took the wine glass and glanced at it, "There's no poison in the wine, right?" ”
The Night King was stunned and laughed.
"I have a lot of things here, such as books, tea, wine, jewelry, weapons and ammunition, if you can win this game, then these are yours." The Night King took a sip of wine.
The young maid bowed deeply, and then prepared to withdraw.
But Zhao Gao stretched out his hand to stop her.
The girl was startled.
"I have a request." Zhao Gao said, "Give me this woman." ”
The maid and the Night King were stunned, the young girl suddenly raised her head, and the Night King was stunned.
"This woman is not as valuable to you as this wine, is she? Think of it as a gift to the wine. Zhao Gao continued, "Give her to me." ”
The young man in white scratched his forehead, this maid is really not an important thing to him, anyway, he wants as many people as he wants. It's just that Zhao Gao's sudden request was a bit unexpected to him.
"Okay." The Night King nodded, "From now on, this woman is yours." ”
The maid was stunned.
"Take the elevator downstairs." Zhao Gao stood beside her, pulled out the plate in her hand and threw it on the ground, and whispered, "Someone will come to pick you up." ”
The girl looked up at him deeply, her dark eyes slowly brightened, and she stepped back and left the tourist hall, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, as light as a little sparrow out of its cage.
She looked happy. The Night King looked at the girl's back and disappeared into the hallway, "Is it because you've regained your freedom?" But she was going to die soon. ”
"She won't live long if she stays here." Zhao Gao raised his head and drank all the red wine in the cup, "Anyway, they are going to die, why don't you live a little freer?" Just like me, I'm going to die anyway, so why don't I drag you to die with me? ”
The young man walked to the edge of the glass wall with his goblet in his hand, and looked up at the dim sky, it was clearly about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, but the light was so dim that it seemed like it was about to fall into the night.
"Chat with me, whether it's you or me, someone must be the last person another person to see in this life, so this will be the first formal conversation between you and me, and it will be the last." The Night King turned around and leaned his back against the railing to face Zhao Gao, "Isn't your task to stall for time?" This should be exactly what you want. ”
"You're such a talker." Zhao Gao frowned, "Do you have so much to say to anyone you caught?" ”
"That's because I've been holding it for too long." The Night King smiled, "If you learn something, you'll definitely want to show it to others, or you'll be suffocated, but I can't discuss this with zombies and hunters." ”
"Villains have always died of talking."
"Am I a villain?" The Night King laughed, "No, I'm the main character, I'm a god. ”
"From the moment I was born, I was the darling of heaven, I had a power that no one could match, I had no weaknesses, I had an almost eternal life." The Night King looked up at the dome of the hall above his head, "There is nothing in this world that can defeat me, not the strength of man, not the power of hunters, I am a born king...... How can it be a villain? The one who opposes me and stands against me is the villain. ”
"In other words...... "The Night King looked at Zhao Gao, "you are the villains." ”
Zhao Gao frowned.
This guy is such a crazy lunatic.
"When I was born, the world was like a sinking oil tanker with a raging fire, and I climbed on the bow of the ship and looked around and saw a lot of people fighting the fire and trying to save the capsized ship." The Night King said lightly, "The strength of human beings in that era was not only a hundred times and a thousand times that of you now, but the fact that human beings have still fallen to this point shows that your destruction is irreversible, and your fate of destruction has long been predestined. ”
Zhao Gao was silent for a moment and laughed.
"You're wrong."
