Chapter 22: A Last Resort
"I'm not sure." The black-clothed man raised his eyes and looked at me, his expression unpredictable but determined: "However, I will definitely not harm you, I hope you can believe me." ”
"You're not sure ??!" I didn't know exactly what the black leather man meant by this sentence, and stood up from the ground with his body propped up: "You're not sure you're going to throw me in the pool?!" You still think I should believe you?! ”
Although the green water did not corrode my body, it made my body slimy and had a somewhat pungent and disgusting smell, and I was still very unhappy, let alone trusting him.
Whether this man in black leather wants to hurt me or something else, but in this way...... It's too messy, isn't it?!
"That...... My name is Tang Xiaoyu...... "Although the flower-faced girl was dressed very brightly and spicy, she spoke softly, and asked me stumblingly: "You-what's your name?" ”
"Lin Hao." I gave my name briefly, and although I can't remember how I died, my name is a symbol of a person, and even if I am dead, I will not forget my last name.
Flower-faced girl...... No, Tang Xiaoyu nodded clearly, then handed me a piece of red cloth that I didn't know where to tear it off, and then turned his head to look at the fat ghost in the flower shirt who was already lying motionless on the ground.
After looking down and studying the fat ghost in the flower shirt for a while, the black leather-clothed male ghost turned his head to Tang Xiaoyu's gaze and showed a gentle smile at her: "Name? You can call me Anan. ”
Hey, no one is asking your name at all, right?
Tang Xiaoyu was stunned by Anan's laughter, and soon forgot that this guy had clearly pushed her life-saving benefactor me into the stinky pool of bones and corpses, and shyly retreated behind me.
A woman is such an inscrutable creature, shouldn't she be shy to me? Could it be that the smile of the little white face is all-encompassing?
Ah, I can't say that, I glanced at Tang Xiaoyu's torn red short skirt, and read that she tore off the skirt and gave it to me as a rag, I still took off the Tang costume coat I was wearing with great grace, and the fierce girl took off the Tang costume coat from those ghost corpses to her.
Tang Xiaoyu took my coat, tied it to her waist with some embarrassment, and curiously pointed to the white-dressed female ghost who fell on the stage, and said worriedly: "That, doesn't she matter?" Would you like to go over and have a look? ”
I also glanced at the female ghost in the white dress, and felt that Tang Xiaoyu's concern was a little funny: "If she doesn't matter, I'm afraid we should be important." ”
Seeing Tang Xiaoyu's confused face, I suddenly remembered that when I knocked the female ghost in the white dress unconscious, Tang Xiaoyu happened to be controlled by the fat ghost in the flower shirt and was confused, so I didn't know what happened afterward.
I looked at the dementor hall, which was already as quiet as a chicken, and the souls of the six gods and no masters had already taken advantage of the fact that we were still talking, and found the key to unlock the shackles that held their hands from those fallen whip ghosts.
"Ahh
"Y-why did you hit her?" Tang Xiaoyu's eyes were full of surprise, 'Why are you hitting a woman'.
"Why should I hit her? The conscience of heaven and earth, I don't want to...... It's not for the guys in the cage, if I had known that the first thing this guy would do when he came out would have pushed me into the pool, I wouldn't have done such a thankless job! I looked at Anan who didn't know the details, and I only felt that my intestines were a little green: "Damn, Lao Tzu shouldn't be nosy." ”
Sure enough, you can't be too kind in anything, and if you are kind, you will be unlucky!
"This girl, what does it have to do with them?" Tang Xiaoyu's gaze swept back and forth over the souls and green pools that were unshackling, and stretched out his hand to gesture at her puzzles and doubts.
I raised my chin at the fallen white-dressed ghost, "Haven't you noticed all this time, she's weird?" ”
"Huh? What's weird? Tang Xiaoyu was stunned and thought for a long time, but he didn't understand what I was referring to, and hesitated: "She sings...... That's a good sound! ”
"First of all, it's weird to just go to a lot of trouble here, and to set up a stage specifically for her to sing, okay?"
Tang Xiaoyu looked at the stage stupidly, but her eyes were even more dazed: "I thought she didn't do it voluntarily." ”
"At first, I thought she was caught singing by that fat ghost in a flower shirt...... But didn't you notice? The way she looked at the caged souls was strange. ”
“…… Eyes? Tang Xiaoyu repeated my words mechanically, blinking at me: "...... She's very, scared......"
I continued with Tang Xiaoyu's words: "She is very scared...... Looking at those souls, the eyes were full of fear, despair, and compassion...... It's like a kind mother looking at her child who is in deep suffering......"
"Isn't that normal?" Tang Xiaoyu was still as sluggish as a doll, and gently frowned her slender black eyebrows: "If it were me, I would be forced to be in such a place...... I watched as the other souls in the cage melted away one by one in front of my eyes...... Don't talk about singing, I'll probably throw up ......"
But, after all, those were not really her children, nor were they her relatives, and she might soon face the same fate as those souls, so why did she look at them with such compassion that she was completely out of the way? …… You're about to turn into a pulp, aren't you more worried about the cruelty you're going to face next? ”
Tang Xiaoyu listened to me say a lot in one breath, and nodded as if she didn't understand, but her eyes told me that she still didn't fully understand what I meant.
So, I had to continue to stir up her memories: "Also, didn't you find out? Her hair was dripping with green juice all the time, but her dress was dry. ”
"The hair is wet...... The skirt is dry...... So what does that mean? ”
I gave her a prompt: "Will you wash your hair with the stinking water of this pool of rotting corpses?" ”
"Of course not!" “…… She may have been locked in that cage before, so she accidentally got her hair wet, and then that ...... He" Tang Xiaoyu said, pointing to the fat ghost in the flower shirt on the ground: "He thinks this girl is quite beautiful, it's a pity to be like this......"
"Unless she's put headfirst in a cage, and by the way, she's in a good mood and pours a few spoonfuls of water from the pool to get up and take a shower."
“……”
Tang Xiaoyu was choked by my words for a while, and he didn't spend half a word for half a day.
"There must be a demon in the so-called abnormality, I was actually just guessing that she might have something to do with this pool of green water, but I didn't expect it to be her ghost."
"You're saying that after you knocked her unconscious, the iron cage on the edge of the green water pool will stop, and the green water in the pool will gradually sink as if it was being pumped away?" Tang Xiaoyu tried to connect the two things of me stunting the female ghost in the white dress and the sinking of the green pool, and finally came to a conclusion.
I finally explained to Tang Xiaoyu why I hit women, phew, female ghosts...... Since it doesn't seem too appropriate to continue to stay in this ghost place, and I don't want to have more entanglement with this black leather male ghost who can't tell whether he is friend or foe at the moment, I think the most important thing at the moment is to leave the Dementor Temple as soon as possible before those unknown whip ghosts find more troublesome guys to come over.
