Chapter 206: Goodbye
It's really not the time to be rash at the moment, not only the demon girl on the execution ground, but the imperial envoy of the hunter army in the original book is eyeing you from the side, not to mention that this is the imperial capital, and it is really unwise to do it in the territory of the empire during the day.
But!
Staring at the tragic corpse on the cross, Zhang Hao's eyes were about to erupt with fire, Ma Yin ...... Mayin's corpse was hanging in front of her, could she be indifferent like this? Isn't it like before that you can't do anything with your own strength?!
Xia Lan lowered his eyes, tried not to look at the person on the stage, and said in a low voice: "I can understand your grief, but it's better for you to calm down now, we are not people from this world after all, if we care too much about gains and losses, we will make our situation very bad......"
"You're so cold-blooded."
Zhang Hao's eyes became even colder after hearing this, and he immediately interrupted in a deep voice: "To be precise, you are selfish, can you even say such selfish words?" Xia Lan, you can not care about Mayin's life or death, I can't interfere with other people's freedom, but I must not sit idly by. She died because of me...... Do you know? No matter what happens today, I have to make a decision, and I'll leave it here. β
Although he was tough, Zhang Hao also calmed down a little, this is indeed not the place to do it, so he can only find another opportunity.
After speaking, Zhang Hao bumped into Xia Lan and quickly broke away from the crowd, it seemed that he had made other preparations.
Cold-blooded? Selfish?
Xia Lan bit his lip tightly, although he was extremely reluctant to admit it, Zhang Hao didn't even say a word wrong, because ...... She witnessed the whole process of Mayne's murder with her own eyes, and did not step forward to stop it.
Not long after Zhang Hao and Ma Yin set off, Xia Lan secretly ran out, originally worried that it would evolve into cannibalism like the last trial, but what was far beyond imagination was Su Shulei's resolute and powerful countermeasures, which were even more terrifying than the previous trial.
However, is it really just because of such reasons?
Wasn't it because he was purely worried about Su Shu that he took the risk to chase him out?
As long as he thought that there would be such a possibility, Xia Lan couldn't forgive what he had done, this dissenting heart for the sake of the enemy, and the refusal to save Ma Yin, wasn't it just like what Ma Yin had suspected before, what was the difference between his behavior and that of a traitor?
But......
It's not that you really want to see death and not save yourself, but the opponent's number and home field have a huge advantage, and rashly rescue will definitely put yourself in it......
And so on β
Isn't this kind of thinking exactly what Zhang Hao said about selfishness?
Xia Lan's heart was cold, no matter how he defended himself, he was pale and powerless, and it was just a lie that would be shattered with one blow.
Will a person who is even uncertain about his position have enough courage to continue through the cruel trials?
Don't be too ridiculous.
"But what I think, it's not ridiculous." I don't know when, a shadow shrouded Xia Lan, and although the voice that sounded in front of him was unfamiliar, Xia Lan could still feel a lingering sense of familiarity from it, which was a unique breath that belonged to Su Shu.
In fact, Su Shu had already discovered Zhang Hao and Xia Lan in the crowd, including Xia Lan's refusal to save Ma Yin, after all, all the activities around her in front of her imperial observer would have nothing to hide.
While Xia Lan was stunned, Su Shu glanced at the people around him who were puzzled, and then curled the corners of his mouth without a trace, and lifted the hood on Xia Lan's head, so that the beautiful and lovely little face was completely exposed in front of everyone.
Su Shu pinched Xia Lan's delicate chin without any scruples, and deliberately raised his voice: "Xia Lan, we finally meet again, and knowing that you care so much about my life and death, I really don't know whether to be happy or ......."
Speaking of this, she leaned into Xia Lan's ear and gently exhaled hot air, "Hurt you, ha......"
"You-" Xia Lan suddenly came back to his senses, and pushed away Su Shu in front of him like an electric shock, and as expected, Su Shu, who was weak, was pushed to the ground and snorted in pain.
Sai Liu's face changed when they saw this, and they were about to run up to help, but they saw Su Shu secretly making gestures.
"Are you okay......" Xia Lan subconsciously bent down to help Su Shu, but was vigorously grabbed by the other party's wrist, and just when he wanted to break free, the knowing Sai Lu and others had quickly surrounded Xia Lan.
"I advise you not to resist now, and obediently cooperate with our captain." Sai Leu unceremoniously pressed his hand on Xia Lan's shoulder.
Xia Lan frowned, thinking that it was more than enough to escape the encirclement, but ...... Just after meeting Su Shu's scorching blue eyes at close range, the ghost made a god and did not resist, but let Sai Lu shackle his hands with chains.
"No cuffs. You can't run, do you? Su Shu stared at Xia Lan with blazing eyes, in fact, Xia Lan's mind had already been peeped at by her, Xia Lan passively acted as his prisoner, nothing more than to avoid the murder between himself and Zhang Hao in disguise.
However, Xia Lan's idea is naΓ―ve, right?
Would a wolf let go of a sheep brought to its mouth? There has never been such a ridiculous truth, and if there is, then this wolf must be an idiot.
Xia Lan was silent, and tried to make himself act like a victim, otherwise if such a scene was seen by others and then transmitted to the night attack, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, and then his situation in the night attack would be very bad.
Just as Xia Lan thought, Su Shu originally planned to force Xia Lan into a corner, but after thinking about it, from the perspective of interests, Xia Lan is harmless to himself for the time being, and if he is in a hurry, it will be unfavorable to himself, after all, there is nothing wrong with having a person who is in the enemy camp but thinks about himself everywhere.
Subsequently, Xia Lan was taken to Su Shu's room alone, and Su Shu seemed to be relieved that he did not send someone to guard it, and took the initiative to loosen the chains on Xia Lan's body.
As soon as the outsiders left, there were only two people left in the room, Xia Lan couldn't hold back the annoyance and resentment in his heart anymore, and immediately grabbed Su Shu's neckline, gritted his teeth and asked, "Su Shu!" There's no reason for you to do things so ruthlessly, do you?! β
Su Shu squinted at Xia Lan, turned his head indifferently, and asked rhetorically, "Then you don't have any reason to be rough with a girl, right?" β
"Girls?" Xia Lan's eyes couldn't help but widen, both stunned and couldn't help but feel funny, "Are you talking about yourself?" β
"Correct, and it's a beautiful girl." Su Shu smiled disapprovingly, casually pulled Xia Lan's hand away and held it tightly, "Feel it, maybe my skin is more delicate than yours, it's ridiculous." β
In the end, Su Shu's face was full of gloom, obviously how could she be willing to accept the fact that she had become a woman, but this was only in the trial, so she could only try her best to suppress her dissatisfaction, and she couldn't complain to anyone.
Xia Lan was dumbfounded for a while, and in a trance, he felt as if the little beauty with a gloomy face in front of him was the real victim, but this idea was too absurd, and it was obvious that this person was the initiator of the murder of Ma Yin and Lubbon.
"What the hell are you ......" Xia Lan slowed down for a while before asking, "What do you want to do?" Killing Maine and Lubbo isn't just about completing a trial, is it? β
"Of course, you should understand me." Su Shu unconsciously pinched out Xia Lan's little hands, "A person who has lost everything, a person who has done nothing in reality, and a person who has been corroded by despair, shouldn't there be thousands of reasons to get back everything he once had in the trial?" β
Without waiting for Xia Lan to refute, Su Shu raised his head slightly, and continued to accentuate his tone: "You and I are the same!" Except that you are richer than me in reality, you and I are in the same situation! We are one kind, and we are also corrupted by darkness, otherwise you would not be so indecisive with me, you must admit it. β
It's just like what a madman said, but Xia Lan opened his mouth and couldn't find a reason to refute it, because this madman always poked his heart.
"Xia Lan." At this time, Su Shu suddenly appeared with an extremely mysterious smile, "I have a very, no, super bold idea, would you like to hear it?" β
Seeing her show such an expression, the sense of uneasiness in Xia Lan's heart became stronger and stronger, although this madman was once defined as an incompetent person, but it is precisely an incompetent person who is very likely to do things unimaginable to ordinary people after he has power, not to mention that this madman is called Su Shu.
