Chapter 124: The Surging Dark Tide
In the simple and even humble room, Natalia and the mysterious man sat on opposite sides of the table, one holding a cup of hot water with both hands and sipping slowly, while the other continued to tap his fingers on the tabletop, as if to express his unpleasant mood.
"Don't knock, I have this table at home, and I won't change it after it is broken."
The gentle and demure Natalia didn't make people think she was angry even if she frowned, but as soon as she finished speaking, the mysterious man stopped what she was doing.
"Since you knew he was here, why didn't you tell me, and let me find it myself."
The mysterious man's tone clearly contained the meaning of complaining about Natalia, but Natalia didn't care much, she tapped her fingers on the table like the mysterious man, and said with a smile:
"I love seeing someone who can give Wings of Freedom trouble."
"You're still as headstrong as ever," the mysterious man shook his head helplessly, "and now there is no one in the Wings of Liberty who cares about that accident, and all these years everyone except for me who has been chasing the escaped test subject, everyone else has been busy showing loyalty to the new master. ”
"Actually, you can also show your loyalty to your new master, so that your life will be a little better."
Putting down the water glass, Natalia's face was full of teasing.
"I don't like him very much."
The mysterious man's answer was very solemn, and there was no joking at all.
……
Time passed quickly, and the two glasses of water on the table were already cold.
Natalia gently drew circles over and over again with her fingers, and the sky outside the window, which had always been gloomy, seemed to brighten against the side of her face.
"I don't care what you're going to do next, there's one premise, don't hurt the bugs, and if I think what you're doing might put her in danger, I'll stop you."
After drawing dozens of circles, Natalia finally spoke.
"Who said I was going to hurt her, and even in a sense, I was here to protect her this time," said the mysterious man, "Actually, I like this little girl quite a bit, and besides, she has a young man named Turtledove by her side, who is very energetic and thoughtful, and is a good boy." ”
"You've been in contact with both of them?"
Natalia didn't expect him to think so highly of the turtledove, very energetic and thoughtful, and Natalia had never heard him say that about any young man.
"Not long ago," the mysterious man's voice was clearly chuckling softly, "I was quite impressed by the two of them, and if I hadn't been paying attention to their movements by chance, I'm afraid I might not have been able to find the last test subject." ”
"So when this matter is over, I have to say thank you to these two little guys, after all, the accident started because of me back then, and today I finally have the opportunity to do this thing on my mind."
Natalia looked carefully at the mysterious man in front of her, she knew that the other man was not a good liar, and from his eyes, Natalia could see that he was telling the truth, in this case, she finally had one less person to watch out for.
……
"You're really just here to deal with the last test subject?"
Just in case, Natalia decides to ask the other party directly, as she knows, the other party is not a good liar, and once he opens his mouth, she can find out if he has bad intentions for the worm.
In any case, he is still a member of the Wings of Freedom, and Natalia has a hundred reasons to be uneasy about the people of the Wings of Freedom.
"Not really," said the mysterious man, "I thought that if I could help you this time, maybe you would choose to do me a favor and return the favor, and to tell you the truth, I would leave Wings of Freedom after dealing with the test subjects, and I guess those people would not let me go, and I would have to find a companion to feel at ease." ”
"You can go to Galahad."
"I found it, but he didn't want to take me to play."
"So, I'm just your second choice?"
Natalia leaned her upper body, anger appeared between her eyebrows, and the mysterious man who knew that he was speechless did not dare to speak loudly anymore, holding a cup full of cold water and pouring down most of the cup, putting down the cup, he was silent like a lamb.
As the head of the security team under the Abandoned Urban Residents' Committee, how could Natalia not understand the seriousness of the current situation, which seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging underneath, which could erupt at any time.
So after thinking carefully about the other party's suggestion, Natalia's final reply was:
"We'll talk about it then."
……
The worm and the turtledove were still foolishly calculating, but they didn't know that the real danger was approaching.
Since Natalia left, the worm has been discussing her intentions with the turtledove, and the first thing that can be affirmed is that Natalia is indeed here to warn herself, she said "don't trust anyone", and the "anyone" here obviously includes Xu Dafu.
Combined with what happened to the turtledove when he went out this morning, as well as the analysis of the little worm afterwards, they both thought that Xu Dafu was not trustworthy, but in order to get the map, the turtledove and the little worm decided to take a look first.
Only take one step at a time.
……
Later in the day, the underground boxing stadium ushered in another lively night, after all, in this depressing city needs a way to vent emotions, watching the real fight to the flesh and the blood on the field is undoubtedly the best choice.
Turtledove was punished by the worm in the VIP room to "think about it", but the turtledove expressed his objections, saying that he was not confused by Natalia, and he had told the worm about the content of the note, and he was really not a pervert.
It's a pity that the little worm just didn't let him stay in the room, there was no way, the turtledove's thick thighs really couldn't resist the little worm's thin arms, so he had to sit stupidly on the sofa, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
As for the bug, she went outside to inquire about it.
What happened last night didn't seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the audience, and today's underground boxing arena was still full, and the worm walked through the crowd, wondering who he should ask for information.
Pregnant.
With a quick move, the worm saw Quiles, who was fooling others with bets in the distance, and his thin bamboo pole-like figure was still difficult to avoid being discovered.
"Hey."
The worm went up and patted Quiles on the shoulder, Quiles subconsciously glanced back, and when he saw that it was the worm, he was so frightened that he didn't say a word, and directly lowered his head and drilled into the crowd.
"What are you running!"
Compared with the turtle dove, the body of the little worm is naturally not related to the word "strong", but compared with Quiles, the little worm is already considered a "heavyweight" fighter, she grabbed Quiles's collar, and Quiles shrunk his neck and was pulled back by her.
