Chapter 44: A Few Little Things

Ji Yijun pushed open the door of the hotel, and sure enough, he saw Cole sitting at the table, holding a wooden cup and drinking slowly. As if he knew he was coming, the other party raised his glass and greeted him, "The confinement is over?"

The mercenary gave him the same feeling as before, lazy and indifferent, and the best portrayal of them is that they are drunk and drunk. The fierce battle of a few days ago no longer had the slightest trace of him in him, and the danger of dying was like a story of the past to him.

After one battle, one day, will I be like this? Ji Yijun unconsciously clenched his fists.

Ji Yijun walked over slowly, stared at Cole for a while, took out a handkerchief wrapped thing from his pocket, threw it in front of Cole, and said in a muffled voice: "Is this really him?"

Cole didn't open the handkerchief, but smiled slightly, with a hint of smugness.

"Of course. Otherwise, Zhang Hong would not have given you favors. He said.

"Zhang Hong, just a coward. Even if the ear is real, he did not kill the man. I don't need to admit his affection. Ji Yijun stood beside Cole and looked at him condescendingly.

Cole nodded noncommittally, not knowing which part of Ji Yijun's words he agreed with.

"Really. It's really Orville. Cole couldn't stand Ji Yijun's gaze, and had to emphasize again, "I chased him in the underground palace for half an hour, and in the chase, I shot him several arrows, broke his tendons and tendons, and then cut dozens of knives on his body, and finally cut his throat." He died a painful death, and your father can rest in peace. ”

These tortures came out of Cole's mouth, which seemed very natural, but it made Ji Yijun even more uncomfortable. He squinted at Cole and asked, "You don't have a grudge against him, why did you do that?"

"Because...... I'm happy. This is how a horse thief falls into the hands of a mercenary. The reverse is also true, depending on who has the faster knife. Cole smiled wider, "Aren't you happy, if he falls into your hands, will you just give him a hard time?"

"I ......" Ji Yijun was stuck, would he easily kill the murderer of his father? Will he not take any additional revenge? He had to admit that in his mind, that murderer had already been concocted by him thousands of times with countless of the most cruel punishments. What Cole did was the slightest softest of the means he could imagine. What if it was himself and not Cole who was chasing Orville at that time? Ji Yijun asked himself repeatedly, and the answer was hesitant among several choices, and finally fell to not knowing.

"Besides, there are few lives in the hands of these horse thieves, and no matter how much I torture him, those resentful spirits will applaud in heaven. Even the gods of nature would approve of my approach. Cole took a sip of wine, slowly shook his glass, and said, "Revenge is luscious, but pure lusciousness is too bland, and with the bitter torture, it is a good wine." ”

"You...... It's a madman. ”

"One day you'll join us too. Cole winked at him.

"How can you be sure that the horse thief you hacked to death is Orville? Ji Yijun asked with a tense face.

Cole picked up the quiver leaning against the foot of the table from his feet, rummaged through it, and pulled an arrow from it. He threw the arrow on the table and said, "This is an arrow used by Orville, and it is proof!"

Ji Yijun picked up the arrow, flipped it over and looked at it for a while, and said: "It's a very ordinary arrow, but there is more than one horse thief who uses an arrow, what does this mean?"

Cole took out another arrow from his quiver, put it on the table, and reached out to make a gesture of please for Ji Yijun to compare.

Ji Yijun: "The shape of the arrow feather?"

He saw that Orville's arrow feathers had a shallow arc, close to an oval, while Cole's arrow feathers were relatively straight, giving a sharp feeling.

"That's right!" Cole nodded, "Do you remember what that Broken Arrow looked like?"

Of course I remember, Ji Yijun clearly remembered every detail at that time, his father was lying on the bed, his face was covered with a white cloth, and there was the bloody demon-breaking arrow on the side. Its arrow feathers are also oval.

"The feathers of the arrows are different, and the feel is also different. Although there is little difference in use, good archers will trim their arrows to ensure maximum accuracy. Cole brushed the outer edge of the arrow feather with his hand, "and the way the feather is trimmed, it seems to me that it is no different from signing the name of the arrow." ”

With a "bang", Ji Yijun's fist smashed on the table, and he unconsciously used his fighting spirit, this punch not only smashed the thick wooden table out of a hole, but also smashed the two arrows on the table into four sections.

"Arrows are just arrows. Cole said.

Ji Yijun put away his fist, turned around and walked out the door.

Cole looked at his back and said, "This feud is over." A dead man is a dead man, no matter who killed it. We mercenaries were born to do this for people. ”

Ji Yijun glanced back at him and said: "This matter is not over, Orville is just a hand, Cadiz is just an arm, I believe there is a head waiting for me to cut it off!"

"Maybe. Cole whispered.

"Next time, don't get in my way. Ji Yijun slammed the door and walked out.

Cole glanced at the broken arrow and ear on the table, took a sip of wine, and chuckled, "What a grumpy guest, such a guest can't get a discount." ”

The setting sun cast the last bit of dim light into the window of Ye Zi's bedroom, and she looked at a white "tattoo" on her wrist again with that glimmer of light.

It was the image of a spear, and on the back of the spear was a disc of mysterious patterns. Ye Zi's heart moved, and a shallow light appeared from this "tattoo", flickering and surging like waves.

The white light flickered faster and faster, and when it was about to reach the limit, Ye Zi stopped his thoughts. Because she had tried many times, as long as she continued to concentrate, this "tattoo" would turn into a spear - the extremely mysterious shadow gun, appeared in his hand.

That day, just after she and Ji Yijun escaped from the dungeon, the shadow gun turned into a white rainbow and converged on her wrist, and she could feel that this gun really recognized her and regarded her as the only master.

"It's a pity that you can't speak, otherwise you would have been able to tell me who that Valkyrie is. Ye Zi said softly.

"Xiao Yezi, are you playing with that again?" Cao Lu pushed the door in.

"It's not playing, I'm communicating with it. Ye Zi said, "How is your training today?"

"What else, everyone is so bored without you, we really miss you. Cao Lu threw her coat on the bed, jumped behind Ye Zi and hugged her.

"Don't make a fuss. Ye Zi struggled a few times and couldn't break away from her, so he had to let her hold her, "Alas, maybe I'm really not suitable for being in the escort team." It's good for everyone to leave now. ”

"That's because he, Wang Jiyuan, is blind and can't see your ability. Someday he'll regret it. Cao Lu rested his chin on Ye Zi's shoulder and looked at the white "tattoo" with her, "However, you really don't plan to let those who are engaged in magic and science study this thing, in case there is any danger......

Ye Zi shook and said: "I can feel it, it is alive, it has its own emotions, and it also has its own thoughts." I know it likes me, depends on me, and won't hurt me. ”

"I don't know, I thought you were talking about your boyfriend who depends on each other. ”

"Do you depend on each other? Maybe that's the case. ”

"Wow, that's a lot of meat. It gives a fetish feel. ”

"You're a fetish. Ye Zi reached out to scratch Cao Lu's armpit, and the latter immediately fought back. The two of them rolled onto the bed with a giggle, and the original dull atmosphere in the room was unconsciously diluted a lot.

——————————————————————

Late at night, the entire campus was immersed in black, except for a few picket fires in the playground and on the mainland, as well as the sporadic lighting torches on the road. Some rooms were still lit up, with candles in the dim and illuminated circles in white. Diesel generators have not been turned on for several days in order to save fuel. Now the night on the campus is on par with the castle of the Middle Ages.

However, Ji Yijun was lying on the roof of the building and was insulated from all this light, and all that shone into his eyes was the stars in the sky.

He had forgotten how long he had been lying here, only that the canopy had changed from red and yellow to blue.

Will the old man become a star? This childish idea drew his own ridicule, but it was as unquenchable as wildfire on a mountain.

He's certainly not the brightest kind, but there's bound to be his own light in the night sky.

Where are you?

The man who killed you is dead, and if you can see it, wink at me.

There was a creaking knock on the door, followed by footsteps. Ji Yijun sat up and looked in the direction of the visitor with some annoyance, wondering who had disturbed his conversation with Xingxing.

"Is it you?" said Ji Yijun at the same time.

Wrapped in a thin light-colored windbreaker, with her hair simply tied behind her head, Wu Qi's face was very beautiful in the starlight, she obviously didn't expect to meet Ji Yijun in this place, and after glancing at him, her eyes moved to the side. She walked to the fence on her own, her arms on the fence, her eyes drooping, as if she were looking at a campfire downstairs.

Ji Yijun stood up, still a little irritable in his heart, and spoke politely: "You come here at this point, you won't want to jump off the building again, right?"

Wu Qi didn't answer, and didn't even move.

Ji Yijun frowned, and asked again, "Why don't you speak?"

"It's been said that people who die once generally don't want to die again. Wu Qi said softly.

"What about you?"

"I think the guy is talking nonsense. If you don't know why you live, thinking about dying becomes a habit. ”

"Hey, I don't understand you people who have literary diseases. Ji Yijun leaned against the fence beside her, "You are not allowed to die, because I saved you, and my efforts cannot be in vain." ”

"You're really domineering, but don't worry, wanting to die and preparing to die today are two different things. Wu Qi smiled, the meaning of the smile, Ji Yijun was a little incomprehensible, "Since the day of the fight, I have been looking for what I am living for." ”

"You're saying that you didn't have a fear of death, but you wanted to find your goal?"

Wu Qi glanced at Ji Yijun with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful." ”

"Hmph, did you find anything?"

She sighed and grabbed the railing with both hands, leaned back, and looked up at the starry sky above, "There was only one discovery, this is really a fucking world." ”

Ji Yijun laughed, perhaps thinking that the other party's tone was a little funny and cute, but he quickly nodded and agreed: "Say what is in my heart! ”
