Chapter 596: Dense Suspicions
In the memory of the worm, she lived with Galahad when she was very young, and the two of them went from the Wings of Freedom to the New Empire several times, and they have always lived an incognito life, not without food and sleeping in the middle, in order to avoid the double pursuit of the Wings of Freedom and the New Empire, the life of the two has been relatively hard.
It may have been relatively stable after settling in the new empire, and although all the hardships of yesterday have gradually faded away, they have not disappeared, but have become part of the worm's memory, for example, the worm remembers that Uncle Galahad can't cook, and the only thing he can get his hands on is baking bread.
It's very simple to make, the materials are inexpensive, and it's not just about flour, but more importantly, it's easy to carry, which is undoubtedly the best dry food for Galahad and the young worms who used to run on the road every day.
Therefore, the worm only needed to taste a small bite to know that these baked dough cakes were left here by Uncle Galahad, which means that the turtledove and himself who were buried alive in the ruins of the collapse were also rescued by him.
But why didn't Uncle Galahad come out to meet him, he saved himself and the turtledove, left food and water, and brought Rantis and Bit here, why did Galahad avoid him?
Xiao Worm couldn't think of a reason, in fact, when she and Turtledove were forced to go deep into the dense forest with a group of "elite squad" members, she was vaguely aware that there were two eyes watching her in the dark.
Even the little worm is about to forget the existence of these eyes, at this moment, in retrospect, the little worm is estimated to be Uncle Galahad, in terms of his strength, it is easy to quietly track the little worm, even if the little worm with the "eagle eye" talent has an observation ability far beyond ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible to find the Galahad who deliberately hides himself.
So the first question is, why did Galahad do this?
……
"He probably has something unspeakable," Turtledove whispered to the insect at the subway station, "At least we know he's alive, and the combined sneak attack of Rebecca and Moro didn't kill him." ”
"Nonsense, it's up to you."
Although the worm was flustered, he was not so confused that he even had to explain this kind of thing to her, and the reason why he was worried about it was because the worm still remembered some of the details that Landis had described to her when he told her about his previous experience.
If nothing else, Rantis was sure that the footprints left by the "shadow" had an old but strong bloody smell, so he speculated that the "shadow" was probably covered in blood, which was not very strange to the bug, after all, Galahad single-handedly fought against two of the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", and it was only natural that he was seriously injured.
The crux of the matter is that it has been a long time since that battle, and Galahad should have time to clean up the wounds on his body, even if he can't find medicine, wiping off the blood stains near the wound is always helpful in promoting wound healing, why does Galahad still look like he's covered in blood after so long?
Coupled with the fact that Galahad always refused to appear in any line of sight, but had to do things in a foggy way, the worm couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart, she felt that something must be wrong with Uncle Galahad's body.
……
After the initial panic, the little worm finally tried to regulate her emotions and gradually calmed down, looking at the dark subway passage and the equally dark platform entrance, she lowered her eyes and did not say anything, but silently turned around and picked up the two baked dough cakes on the ground.
Since leaving Uncle Galahad, the worm has become a lot more mature than before, although occasionally he still inadvertently reveals his childish side, and for the control of his own emotions, the worm is no longer the little child who only hides by Galahad's side and spoils.
Rantis and Bit glanced at each other, and Bit spread his hands, saying that he didn't have any experience in dealing with this situation, and it was okay for him to copy the guy and play with people, and let him find a way to cheer up a depressed little girl? It's better to kill him directly.
In fact, the turtledove is not very good at this kind of work, he stood there stupidly and looked at the little insect that did not say a word, and scratched his head in a hurry, almost scratching his scalp, and stopped talking several times, and the turtledove really didn't know what to say at this time.
An awkward atmosphere pervaded the three of Turtledove, Landis, and Bit, and as for the little worm, she patronized there and ate slowly with her head down, seemingly unaffected by the atmosphere.
Turtledove said that since he didn't know what to say, then he simply didn't say anything, and went over to accompany the worm, who knew that when the turtledove was about to get to the worm's side, he suddenly saw Landis waving at him, Turtledove didn't know what this guy's idea was, he looked at the worm, and then looked at Landis, who was still waving, and finally decided to go over and see what this Landis was going to do.
"What's wrong?"
After taking a few steps to Landis, Turtledove asked Landis in a low voice, and Landis waved his hand and asked Turtledove to follow him out, and Turtledove tilted his head and pondered, - Landis doesn't look like a bad person, so I'll just go out with him.
The two of them walked down the stairs of the entrance and exit of the subway station to the outside, the light rain was still falling unhurriedly, the thick dark clouds covered the sky tightly, and there were some collapsed buildings everywhere in sight.
After suffocating in the underground passage for so long, the turtledove could hardly remember what the fresh air smelled like, especially after it had been washed by the drizzle.
"Say, what are you calling me out for?"
Turtledove looked at Landis suspiciously, and Landis first turned his head to look behind him, and then said to Turtledove with a solemn face:
"That Galahad you call him, he's probably dead."
"Huh?"
Who would have thought that as soon as Landis opened his mouth, he didn't expect it, anyway, Ikaruga didn't expect it, he didn't understand what Landis suddenly meant, and couldn't help but scream.
"Be quiet," Rantis continued, "the reason why I didn't say it is because I know that the relationship between Worm and Galahad is not ordinary, and judging by her performance just now, I guess if I say this as soon as I come up, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand such a blow at all." ”
Lantis's tone was affirmative, not at all like he was joking.
