117 on the way

The road is becoming more and more sparsely populated, and the occasional field can be seen, but more often it is planted with economic forests, and the depressions become steep, even turning into cliffs as high as ten meters from time to time, and these scenes are still interesting to see at first, but after a while only monotony and fatigue remain.

It was past three o'clock in the morning, the sky was darker, and the sound of huge insects surrounded us, except for the sound of car engines. Turning a corner, I heard the roar of the evening breeze in the distance, and a train emerged from the cave in front of the right and slowly turned behind the mountain in front of me.

These days, I have been chased by the enemy, and I have been fighting one after another, and although my body can recover quickly, mentally, fatigue has swallowed me like a tidal wave. At first, there were people who were enthusiastic about my promotion to the third-level Demon Pattern Emissary, but then no matter how much I searched for it, the topic quickly dried up.

It's been a long time since anyone spoke. Billy was smoking in the driver's seat, and the wind was pouring in from the deputy's seat where the gate had been lost, and it was getting cold, but even that didn't keep me awake. I couldn't help but lean my body against Tomie, but Tomie didn't react at all. She sat there upright like a soldier, her hands crossed over her chest, her eyes closed, her breathing faint and long, as if she had fallen asleep.

The warmth and softness that came from the area where I came into contact with Tomie continued to disintegrate every ounce of strength in my body, and I began to become confused, and then simply collapsed on her lap to avoid the cold wind.

It seemed like a long time, it seemed like just a minute, and I forced myself to cheer myself up from my nap, only to realize that I had gone from lying on my side to lying on my back at some point. Tomie's right hand gently ruffled my hair, and her left hand leaned against the window, and she opened her eyes at some point, smoking while looking out the window.

She knew what I was doing immediately.

"You can sleep a little longer before you reach your destination." She said.

"No, it's really uncomfortable to fall asleep like this." I said, not immediately getting up, but continued to lie on her lap, absorbing the warmth emanating from her body, and the drowsiness in my mind was quickly dispelled as I spoke.

It was the first time I stayed up late, and I felt terrible, as if there was a sticky and astringent grease sliding in my body, the internal organs became hotter than during the day, and the skin felt exceptionally cold, and the contrast between the two made my throat feel thirsty as if it was going to smoke. I almost thought I was sick, but my physical strength didn't suffer much, and when I sat up and was blown by the cold wind, I felt better.

"How far is it?" I asked Billy.

"It's going to take another hour." "Something seems to be wrong with the car, with a top speed of only 70 kilometers per hour," Billy said. Moreover, the city is so large that even if the train runs for three hours, it is still a suburb. ”

"Is there any water?"

Billy reached open the locker in the car and handed over a bottle of mineral water with only a third left. I drank all the water in one go, threw the empty bottle out of the car, and the plastic bottle fluttered off the mountain wall outside the road, where a large shadow of trees swayed in the wind and made a loud rustling sound. It looks like bamboo, and it looks like something else.

I asked for a cigarette from Tomie, lit it, and took a hard puff, filling my mouth with a bitter taste that calmed me down.

"Actually, I've always felt that there are too few enemies sniping us." I didn't have anything to say, "Although there is a detachment of soldiers and a C-level Demon Emiliholder, this strength still seems to be too weak. You've fought them a few times, and you've been on the back foot, right? ”

"I don't think so." Billy glanced at me in the rearview mirror, "I guess you're a little unexpectedly strong." Don't forget, the Fangou Force killed everyone in the base except for the three of us. The C-level Demon Pattern Messenger, the non-commissioned officer of the detachment, and the strange boy were all elites in terms of combat effectiveness. I've been through a lot of battles, but it's only a tie with the non-commissioned officers, and it's amazing how quickly you can end the battle. ”

"If most of the C-rank Demonic Pattern Emissaries are at this level, then it's really nothing remarkable." Tomie said as if he were stating a fact.

Billy smacked his lips, and at last he let out a wry smile.

"That's a terrible thing to say."

"You're too weak, too weak, Billy, please use your brains more when you're fighting."

"No, that's not the problem, actually, I'm curious that you didn't get the Magic Pattern when you first entered the Doomsday Illusion? With your ability, you should have no problem killing the boss who guards the level. ”

"No way, Ah Chuan was too quick to kill that little guy before I arrived." Tomie shrugged.

"Even so, you still killed a C-rank Demonic Emposter and obtained his Demonic Empet. Will you join forces, or will you kill him alone? ”

"Basically, Tomie did it alone." I said before Tomie could answer.

"That's true!" Billy's voice shifted slightly, "It's rare for a D-class to kill a C-class like this, at least this is the first time I've seen it." ”

"In other words, we're different, aren't we?" Tomie said triumphantly.

"Probably...... bar. Billy's voice became low, "But this is definitely not normal, every extraordinary force has its own mission, but I can't think of what God wants you to do." ”

"Don't be so Shinto, Billy, do you want to set up a fortune teller stall on the street?" Tomie said sarcastically.

"Oh, that's what I do." Billy didn't mind at all, but showed off: "But it's not on the streets, professionals like me generally act with the circus, and when they make enough money, they open an office in the downtown area." I'm also on TV a lot, and I've been featured in the newspapers, and I'm a young and wealthy celebrity in this industry. However, I prefer a cowboy-like life, so I retired and bought a farm and a house in the western countryside. ”

Although he cursed, he couldn't tell how angry he was.

"Which life do you think is better?" I asked, "If it weren't for that teleportation array, you'd still be happily working as a cowboy." ”,

"If you don't know that the Dao World has become like this, maybe your previous life is happier. However, after knowing the truth of the matter, I feel that it is better now, although it is bitter and tiring, and there is a danger to my life, but on the contrary, it is also exciting and interesting, and it makes people full of energy. Moreover, I don't like to be blindfolded the most, at least now I can say without hesitation that everything I do now is my calling. ”

"Ah, ah, Shakespeare, it's so moving." Tomie made an exaggerated blockade.

"Why are you always against me?" Billy was furious and said, "Did I do anything bad?" If I did something wrong, I should have been liquidated a long time ago! Do you just hate me? ”

"It's not that serious." Tomie said casually: "You know that I am a master of psychology, whether you are telling the truth or falsehood, whether you are angry or not, I can tell it." ”

"So what?"

"You've also admitted that you're a well-known god before, right? Liars like you are at least masters of psychological combat. We're same-sex exclusive, and to put it bluntly, I don't trust you at all, and I hate people like you. ”

I thought Billy would immediately refute, but I didn't expect to see a mature and gentlemanly smile on his face in the rearview mirror, which was completely different from his previous temperament.

"I've always felt like the best liar in the world." He said.

"Perhaps, but I can see through all false eyes." Tomie said listlessly: "Do you know the micro-expressions of the Dao? ”

"It's interesting to read that research, but it's also annoying."

I also know the concept of micro-expressions, which is unconsciously revealed and disguised in the heart under the action of the human subconscious. It lasts for a short time, and the amplitude is so small that it can be said to be a flash, and it will reveal what people really think in their hearts, and it is completely out of people's control. It is indeed an annoying characteristic for people who are used to having a set of mouths and a set of hearts.

"My talent can monitor the very subtle reactions of the human body in real time, hear your pulse beating, feel the speed of blood flow, and every slight movement of yours, whether intentional or unintentional, cannot escape my induction." Tomie threw the cigarette butt out of the car window, "Any cover-up is futile in my eyes, I know what you're thinking, I'm the best psychologist in the world, and I prefer people who are more frank than people whose behavior and psychology are inconsistent." ”

"I see, I've heard similar stories, and mind-reading monsters always like to take liars as a drink, and that's because they can't bear the pressure of people's real hearts, so they either run away to a place where no one is or go crazy." Billy's shining smile showed Bai Sensen's teeth, "Miss Tomie, you...... It can't be from a psychiatric hospital attached to the prison, right? That's a great place, and the patient's chaotic and simple mind can reduce the pressure of mind reading. ”

For the first time, Billy's tone was clearly defiant, but his judgment was almost as close to what I knew. Perhaps Tomie's straightforward personality, his unblinking attitude towards murder, and the fanaticism he shows from time to time are all side effects of this psychology.

Tomie didn't say yes or no, as if he wasn't at all interested in Billy's wit.

"There are no weaknesses and side effects in my talents." She said: "It's not the talent that made me like this, it's that I'm the person I am, and that's why I got this talent." If you want to steal something from me, just try it, I'm bored anyway. ”
