Chapter 53: Gathering
If someone kidnapped Dai Shikai, tortured him from beginning to end, and killed all his family, beloved and friends, in the end, someone downplayed him and told him that the murderer was actually doing this for your own good and saving the world.
Then Dai Shikai must not hesitate to jump up and grab the knife in his hand, stab the person in front of him and the murderer to death together, and scold again: Lao Tzu believes in your evil!
But now, it was not someone else who told him this, it was Lu Qing.
He told himself in an extremely serious, serious tone that he was afraid: space is not the embodiment of evil, and there is a reason behind all this.
"Brother Qing, are you kidding me? I think you must have been hit so hard that your mind is not clear. The corners of Dai Shikai's mouth twitched, and the nerves on both sides of his temples also jumped violently: "Have you forgotten who you have come to this point?" Your parents, your family. Wen Qiao, Fan Huan, eldest brother, Yuxuan, who were they all killed by?? Have you forgotten? ”
Looking at all the dream breakers who were pulled into the space, Dai Shikai could no longer find a second person who was even worse than Lu Qing and hated space incomparably.
What made Lu Qing's attitude reversed three hundred and sixty degrees, and he still thought that everything that the space did was correct?
"Brother Qing, tell me, what's wrong with you......"
As Dai Shikai spoke, there was another burst of footsteps in the secret room not far away, and the two of them looked in that direction vigilantly, and then found three vague figures appearing in the darkness.
Xu Zhen and Betsy both showed shocked expressions after seeing the two. And behind them, there was a tall figure of a man. After seeing that person appear, Lu Qing's eyes changed significantly, but soon, he hid this emotion.
"Are you alright?" Xu Zhen saw that the two of them were scarred, and couldn't help but rush forward worriedly. Becky unloaded her backpack and retrieved gauze wound medicine from it, trying to treat their wounds. Only Shan Hongwei stood still, looking at the surrounding scene, and quickly came to the conclusion that this should be the mysterious basement of the church.
As for why he appeared here, everything has to start after Dai Shikai left.
Xu Zhen and Betsy were about to follow in Dai Shikai's footsteps, and at this moment, three unexpected figures appeared in the dense fog behind them. Shan Hongwei carried Li Chenyin on his back and appeared in front of them with Chen Zhi.
After Chen Zhi saw these two people, he was in tears, and immediately rushed forward to greet them, and inquired about the situation of his teammates in his district by the way. After learning that Li Zeyan had gone down to the cave first, his calm mood became tense again.
Since he was attacked by a black goat cub in the forest and witnessed the sacrifice of his teammate Liu Ke, Chen Zhi and the others were separated. And when he was lost in the forest, full of despair and fear, he unexpectedly met Li Chenyin and Shan Hongwei.
Although I don't have too deep contact with these two people, it is much better to follow them at the moment than to be alone. Moreover, Li Chenyin is the person in the team who knows the most about the Cthulhu Mythos, and it will be safer to have her.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi cheekily put forward a request for his peers, and took the initiative to express his willingness to help carry Li Chenyin on his back, so as to reduce Shan Hongwei's burden. All along, he has been in fear, for fear that if Shan Hongwei does not go well, he will leave himself behind and wait for death.
It's just that this worry didn't last long, and soon Chen Zhi was surprised to find that this Shan Hongwei didn't seem to be as terrible as the legend. Along the way, he carefully took care of the pregnant Li Chenyin, and his words and deeds were gentle and cautious, which was very different from the ruthless character who killed people without blinking an eye.
Watching the two support each other, Chen Zhi was always embarrassed that his light bulb was a little dazzling. There is no way, when he doesn't need himself, he always keeps silent as much as possible and lowers his sense of existence.
. On the way this time, not only Shan Hongwei, but even Li Chenyin also refreshed his cognition. This woman with a thin body and almost collapsed as soon as the wind blew it, looked even more fragile than Zhou Qiong in the fourth district. Not to mention that she is pregnant with Rokka, and she has to endure the almost savage living conditions and miasma in the primeval rainforest. But even so, in the difficult journey, he had never seen this woman frown once, and there was a word of complaint.
The other party's willpower and endurance beyond ordinary people made Chen Zhi awe-inspired, and he also understood why the other party would make Shan Hongwei so fond of him. On the way, they relied on Li Chenyin's wisdom to successfully avoid danger, and even found flying polyps and traces left by deep divers near the river. Therefore, for this woman, Chen Zhi is full of gratitude.
"You mean, there's something wrong with this cave down there?" After listening to Xu Zhen and Betsy, Chen Zhi fell into thought.
"That's right, so we're going to go down and see how it goes." Xu Zhen put on his equipment and said to him, "It may have something to do with the way we left, but it is also full of danger. ”
Hearing him say this, Shan Hongwei placed Li Chenyin and said to her, "You take a rest here and wait for my news." ”
Li Chenyin breathed rapidly, stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "Don't go." She already had a general idea of what was happening on the island. The presence of Dagon, the diver's father, and the location of the island, were enough for her to guess the identity of the old ruler who was sleeping beneath her feet.
For the first time, she was selfish in wanting to keep the other person, and selfishly wanted to let others risk finding a way out. All in all, she didn't want Shan Hongwei to be involved.
"It's okay, I just don't trust those people. If the way out of life is really down there, I'll have to find out for myself. Don't worry, if I can really leave, I will definitely come back and take you away. Shan Hongwei said softly.
Li Chenyin wanted to say something more, but Shan Hongwei called Chen Zhi's name and said to him: "You stay here and take care of her...... Please. ”
"Huh??" Chen Zhi almost thought that he had auditory hallucinations, Shan Hongwei, this is asking for his help?!
But there was no joke on the man's face, and his solemn expression made people feel a sense of crisis like facing a great enemy. He walked up to Chen Zhi and repeated what he had just said: "Chenyin can only stay here to recuperate now, I hope you can also stay and take care of it for me for the time being...... My wife. ”
His voice was loud, and the word "wife" was even louder. Li Chenyin's pale face showed a rare flush after hearing these two words, and she looked at Shan Hongwei affectionately, with an inseparable attachment in her eyes.
And Shan Hongwei also hugged her into his arms, solemnly said take care, and then followed Xu Zhen and Betsy down the cliff together. Chen Zhi did not hesitate, thinking of Li Chenyin's help before, he also agreed to Shan Hongwei's request.
"Let's take a sip of water." He took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to the other party, but Li Chenyin always behaved in a state of distraction after the three of them left, as if he didn't even hear what he was saying.
