Chapter 22: Solitude

The sudden disappearance of the man in black caught me and Xinyi by surprise, and of course I knew that he could never have been scared away by the bite I had bitten him!

"How? Are there any injuries? Xinyi immediately asked me about the situation, and I could see that she was really worried.

I didn't want her to worry, so I casually replied, "It's okay, it's just a little skin trauma!" ”

In fact, the palm of my hand is really painful, just now I collided with the sword of the man in black, the tiger's mouth has already bled and the neck also feels hot, only then did I find out that it was cut by the machete of the man in black!

But it's nothing, the knife that the man in black slashed at Xinyi just now really scared me, if I take a step slower, the consequences are really unimaginable!

"Thank you for sacrificing your life to save me!" Xin Yi said softly: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost!" ”

Xinyi's words are very delicate, I feel warm in my heart, in order not to let her feel burdened, I forced a smile and said: "Don't take it to heart, I finally experienced a hero to save the beauty, and now I feel very angry!" ”

Xinyi smiled gracefully after hearing this, she naturally understood my intentions, so she also opened the topic: "There must be something wrong with the man in black, he can kill you and I left suddenly, there must be another mystery in it!" ”

"Not bad!" After hearing this, I nodded again and again: "I think so too, but when I fight him, I always feel that he didn't do his best, and he doesn't seem to want to kill me!" ”

"I've noticed this, too!" Xinyi then added, "And I also noticed how she behaved in the face of you...... It's weird! ”

"Strange behavior? What's a strange way? ”

"I feel like this man in black...... It must be someone you and I know! ”

I was taken aback: "What do you think he ...... Could it be Dongzi? ”

Xin Yi shook her head: "Not really, he should be the black shadow that appeared earlier, but he must have a lot to do with Dongzi!" ”

I quickly went to check on Hyo-seung's body, and although we witnessed its death, I couldn't help but check his palm, and sure enough, on his right palm, I found the five inscriptions again...... Solve one more person

Until this moment, I still didn't understand the purpose of the man in black who left the inscription, I looked at Xinyi, Xinyi shook her head at me: "Don't worry about this, we have to leave quickly!" It's too bad to wait for that man in black to go and come back, we have to meet with Sister Mo and the others as soon as possible, so that we can have a sure chance of winning! ”

So, Xinyi helped me take care of the wound on my neck and bandaged my palm, and I knew that it was okay, so I continued to walk with her.

The road to the center of the ghost town seemed extremely long, and it had been more than four days of intermittent walking since we got off the ground, but it seemed that the road ahead was still very long, and we didn't know when it would end.

……

Before we knew it, we had been walking for another day, and the intercom had not moved, and it seemed that the monkeys were still at least a kilometer away from us, and of course I would have preferred that they were waiting for us in the center of the ghost town.

Looking at the hour, it was already night, and the foot of the road after a day was worn out, Xinyi and I planned to rest in place for the night first, and then continue to set off tomorrow.

I put down my flashlight and took another candle out of my bag and lit it. Then we took out some more dry food and water and ate some of them, and then we each took out our sleeping bags, intending to rest early.

Now it's different from the past, just me and Xinyi, if none of us speak, the space around us is like a dead silence. I put my sleeping bag right next to the candles, and I was a man who got up in the middle of the night to change the candles, so I set an alarm on my watch and got into my sleeping bag early.

I was about to say goodnight to Xinyi, but she was also sitting next to the candle with a notebook spread out on her lap, and he was writing something on the notebook.

I was a little curious, and then asked, "Why, aren't you going to rest?" ”

Xinyi glanced at me: "It's still early, I can't sleep!" I'll write down what happened along the way first, and I'll make a good deal in the future! ”

After Xinyi finished speaking, she began to write in the notebook again, she wore a ponytail, her eyebrows frowned, and from time to time she would use her hand to wipe a few scattered strands of hair next to her ears, she was so pure and lovely under the candlelight!

I lay on the ground, and I could see God with my hands on my cheeks. After a few minutes, Xinyi closed the notebook and realized that I was looking at her.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Oh, I can't sleep like you!"

Xinyi sighed: "Hey, so far on this trip, the people in front of me have died, and the missing have disappeared, it seems that this mission must be difficult and dangerous!" ”

I savored what she had just said, and it seemed that this was the reason why her brows were tightly knit!

I comforted, "We can't force anything, and if we can get out safely, thank God!" ”

Xinyi glanced at me with a slight smile after hearing this, her eyes immediately turned away, she didn't speak, what she thought in her heart should be far from being as simple as me! Her expression was solemn in the candlelight, and I knew that beneath her weak exterior was an incomparably strong heart.

A young and beautiful woman like Xinyi, she should have a glamorous life, but her profession combines high-risk activities such as tomb robbing, exploration, and espionage, which is really puzzling! There are very few opportunities to be alone with Xinyi, and this time I want to get to know her better.

I couldn't help but ask Xinyi, "Why do you want to do such a job?" ”

Xinyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Work? ”

Xinyi seemed to have some aversion to the word "work", and I immediately added: "Everything you do is naturally to complete the tasks that your superiors have conveyed to you, do you like what you are doing now?" ”

Xinyi was silent for a long time: "Whether I like it or not, I don't have a choice!" This is my fate! ”

Although Xinyi did not directly express her attitude, through her words, I could experience a very helpless emotion.

"Fate? I don't understand! ”

Xinyi sighed and looked at me again: "Just like you now, although it was not your intention to touch the gold at the beginning, you were still involved in it after all, so that later, you have to look for your father who has been missing for many years and find the secrets hidden in everyone around you, so you have to continue to fight, this is also your fate, and you don't have a choice!" ”

Xinyi's words are full of deep meaning, I was speechless after listening to it, for what I am doing now, I am actually very conflicted, I don't want to be in the underground and deal with the Zongzi coffin, but I am chasing all kinds of puzzles in my head, the word "fate" is the most appropriate to describe!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but crawl out of my sleeping bag and sit up, leaning next to Xinyi, the flickering candle in front of me at this moment was the only place where our eyes could be focused.
