Chapter Seventy-One: The Smiling Demon
Clutching the aching wound on his chest, Alex struggled to get up from bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Having only woken up from his coma yesterday, he didn't know how long he had been captive or what he would be treated next.
But he didn't feel much uneasy.
He staggered to his feet, and then walked out of the room step by step into the empty hallway.
- for he at least knew that he was still enjoying preferential treatment for the time being, for in this underground 'prison' he was the only one of all the captives who could move freely.
And the reason, he probably guessed, it must be caused by the grandfather who values kindness to put pressure on Heavenly Court, right?
It's just that he can't accept this preferential treatment with peace of mind.
He went straight to the pantry of the neighboring house, took a bottle of milk and a piece of bread, and walked out again.
After walking a distance of dozens of meters again, he came to the door of a room, hesitated for a moment, he gently opened the door and walked in.
The etiquette of knocking on the door before entering the house is common to both times, but there are also times when you knock and don't get a response.
Like now.
After entering the room, he saw a woman lying on the bed weakly, with a pair of dry eyes, even after seeing him walk in, there was no fluctuation in the slightest.
The corners of Alex's eyes twitched slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and pulled up the sheet to help her wrap around, and then gently helped her up, opened the milk cap, and began to feed her in small sips.
After feeding a little half, he opened the bread bag again, tore out a small piece and put it to the woman's mouth, the woman's eyes drooped slightly, opened her mouth and took it into her mouth, and then swallowed it with difficulty.
She didn't have much strength left to chew.
And it took her more than ten minutes to eat such a simple food, which made Alex feel a twitch in his heart.
But he couldn't do anything, because bringing her food was the only thing he could do.
As if pinching the time, just after Alex had finished feeding the woman, the door was opened again, and a woman in a white lab coat with a smile on her face walked in.
Director of the Equipment Department, and torture expert (self-proclaimed), Wu Xiaomian.
"Is it over loving each other? Alex, and the lovely July? ”
Seeing the woman approaching, Alex immediately noticed that the body of the woman next to him began to tremble.
It's fear.
He couldn't imagine what kind of torture it would take to make this arrogant woman collapse like this.
"So, the game between me and Little July is going to continue, is Mr. Alex going to visit?"
Wu Xiaomian invited Alex with a smile on his face, and at the same time, Lisuo grabbed July and pressed her to the wheelchair.
"No...... Don't ......" July struggled with it, tears streaming down her face.
She feared not only the painful torment, but also the abyss with no end in sight, for she had told all the information she knew yesterday, but the madman's torture of her did not stop because of this, but intensified as if he were making fun of her.
She didn't want to be reduced to someone else's toy, she didn't want to be tortured to the point of a nervous breakdown.
So she turned her head in despair, looked at Alex with helpless eyes, and pleaded, "Kill me......"
“!” Alex froze in shock.
"It's ugly."
The abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the three of them, and for a moment, including Wu Xiaomian, the faces of the three people froze.
There is no way, not only Wu Xiaomian is not only unfamiliar with this voice, but even Alex and July from Aqua Blue Star will not be unfamiliar.
Demigod, Sumu.
Wu Xiaomian thought that Su Mu was talking about her, so she opened her mouth and was about to argue, but then she found that Su Mu was looking at July and Alex.
"I didn't expect that the two of the three heroes who have always made us jealous of Heaven have such a fragile and helpless side, just like a child who has just left the protection of his parents."
“…… Are you here to taunt us? Alex looked at Su Mu with some irritation.
"Well, yes, just to see what happens to you." Su Mu smiled kindly, but then he changed his words in the hateful eyes of July and Alex, and said, "Although I really want to say that, it's not. ”
As he spoke, he set his eyes on Alex and said, "Congratulations, you can get out of prison." ”
"Huh?" Alex was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and asked with a happy face, "Is my grandfather coming to pick me up?" ”
"Yes, your parents are here to pick you up." Su Mu smiled and nodded.
“……”
Alex choked up on the sarcastic tone, but he didn't care, because all he wanted now was to get out of this damn place.
However, before he could get up, he felt the corners of his clothes being tightly grasped, and when he looked back, he saw that Qiyue was looking at him with a pleading face.
…… This woman who had been indispensable in the past really collapsed.
Alex sighed slightly, and then looked at Su Mu: "Su ...... Su Sage, can I take her? ”
"No, you can't." Su Mu was still smiling, but his voice was categorical.
"Why not? The price of the word......"
"It's not about the cost." Su Mu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "In fact, our negotiations with the Martial God have not yet begun, and returning you first is just to show sincerity." However, if you really want to get July out of the sea of suffering, it's not impossible. ”
Hearing this, Alex not only did not show excitement, but asked vigilantly, "What conditions?" ”
Su Mu smiled lightly and said, "It will take a while for our negotiations with the Martial God to start, so if you volunteer to stay here until the negotiations between us and the Martial God are over, I will let July go back with you at that time." ”
"Stay until the end?" Alex was slightly stunned, because he found that this condition was not difficult to accept, the negotiation was only a few days at most, and although there was no light of day here, it was not uncomfortable to eat and sleep as much as you wanted.
But without waiting for him to nod, Su Mu added with a smile: "Before replying, I want to remind you that we are very likely to talk about the collapse of the Martial God, and what will happen to you after the collapse, I don't need to say it, right?" ”
“!” Alex's face changed suddenly, and the reply that was about to blurt out was swallowed back into his stomach.
Seeing this, Su Mu shook his head slightly.
He's not playing with people's hearts, he's doing it because both July and Alex are really manifiable, both genetically and talentedly, but the only thing that holds them back is their mentality.
And this point is also the easiest to attack, so what Su Mu did was infinitely magnify their flaws and ruin their future.
Because these people are the hope of the water blue star, if you want the war to end as soon as possible, you must first turn hope into despair.
As time passed, Alex's struggling expression gradually turned to indifference, and eventually he closed his eyes and stopped looking at July.
"Take me away."
The atmosphere was suffocated by just four words, and at the same time, the hand that grabbed the corner of his clothes loosened.
This smell of fear and despair made the eyes of Wu Xiaomian, who was silently onlookers on the sidelines, condense slightly, and for the first time, she truly understood what kind of person this hero of the earth was.
This is probably a demon with a smile on his face, right?
