Chapter 224: The Beginning of Summer
At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun seemed to have begun to tilt downward, and Ottoria, who was against the light, saw Bai Shuo's helpless and sympathetic expression, and then her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man who was her captain.
She subconsciously struggled for a moment, and let him drag her to the back door of the Hongzhou Banquet Pavilion.
"Captain, where are we going?"
She tried to muster up her courage and asked with some bumps.
Bai Shuo turned his head to look at Ottoria, and his footsteps did not stop: "Go to the changing room." β
"Let's get rid of this outfit first. It's pretty, but it's not for you......"
Bai Shuo sighed, took out the key and opened the back door of the Hongzhou Banquet Pavilion: "Silence is really tormenting." β
After passing through the back kitchen next to him, he opened the door of the changing room next to him and said, "I said, although it is the order of the deputy captain, but in the future, this kind of request that looks like a prank, you must always learn to refuse, right?" β
Ottoria lowered her head and nodded, her golden hair fluttered, she didn't know what to say, and finally said with some embarrassment: "Captain......"
"Huh?"
"Hand ......" she looked at the palm on her wrist and said with some embarrassment: "I can't go in and change clothes if you grab me." β
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." Bai Shuo let go of his hand a little embarrassed and put his back behind his back; For some reason, he twisted his two fingers, as if the soft touch was still on them.
It feels like it's silent...... While thinking wildly in his heart, he raised his head and looked solemnly at the yellowing clouds above the sky, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be getting stranger and stranger! Is it true that the reincarnation world will change people...... But this change doesn't seem bad...... After Ottoria walked in the door, there was a trivial and unexpected grinding sound in the middle of the door. It stands to reason that Chen Jingmo would drive Bai Shuo far away at this time, but now Chen Jingmo is busy settling accounts and directing the waiters in the front hall, and he can't take care of it at all.
Originally, Bai Shuo was still a little embarrassed and was about to leave, but suddenly heard Ottoria's voice from the changing room.
"Captain, are you still there?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Bai Shuo turned his head to look in the direction of the changing room.
"That, maid outfit, really not for me?"
"yes, I think you'd better dress more seriously. And you're pretty thin-skinned, you have to work hard to learn to resist, don't let Silence always bully you. β
After a pause in the sound of clothes scraping in the room, Ottoria said, "I see. β
Then she stopped talking.
With his own sense of hearing, Bai Shuo has almost achieved the same effect as voyeurism. Unfortunately, his last bit of self-consciousness didn't hold him out until Ottoria finished her clothes.
Bai Shuo, who had a ghost in his heart, hurriedly left the place and walked to the front hall.
When he walked in the door, he happened to see the young man he pulled in at noon to get up from his seat with a relaxed face, nodding and thanking Chen Jingmo.
Without receiving Chen Jingmo's kindness, Xia Chu took out his wallet from his pocket and put the meal money on the table.
For reincarnation, money is nothing. It's hard to meet a good person who is willing to spend so much time chatting with you, so you can't give them any more trouble.
Finally, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The weather has been good lately, let's consider going out for a trip, the pollution here in Dongmu Town is getting worse and worse." β
That's the limit of what he can do.
He couldn't help everyone here, but he sincerely hoped that the lady who was willing to talk to him and comfort him would stay away from these disasters.
"Thank you for putting down your work and wasting so much time with me, bother."
Xia Chu sighed and ran out of the Hongzhou Banquet without looking back.
- "Huh? I'm lazy. Bai Shuo walked to Chen Jingmo's side and looked at the direction where the young man left just now: "I actually skipped class to chat with someone." β
Chen Jingmo saw Bai Shuo beside him, and just wanted to say something, but he turned his head angrily and stopped talking.
"Still angry?" Bai Shuo propped his elbows on the back of Chen Jingmo's chair, and carefully observed this girl who exuded tolerance and gentleness from behind.
In the yellowed sunlight, Chen Jingmo's white neck exuded a seductive light, and under Bai Shuo's unscrupulous gaze, a trace of seductive crimson quickly appeared.
Bai Shuo blew mischievously, and then felt Chen Jingmo's shy tremor become more obvious.
"Okay, I'm sorry." Bai Shuo went around to the front and half-crouched to grab her hand.
Looking at Chen Jing's somewhat stubborn eyes, Bai Shuo sighed, grabbed her hand that wanted to struggle and said, "It won't be like this in the future, don't make trouble, otherwise I'll be angry." β
Chen Jingmo's gaze softened, and he turned his head and muttered: "If you are angry, you will be angry, you have the ability to bite me." β
"To be honest...... Bai Shuo said seriously: "I think it's crooked." β
"Then let's die."
Chen Jingmo whispered in some shame.
A trace of electric light suddenly popped out from her fingertips, and the electric light from the soul wavelength was attached to the water vapor that was indulged by Chen Jingmo, although it was faint, but it hit Bai Shuo's face, making him hear a soft snap.
"Yes, Lord Silence......"
"Cut ......"
ββββAt the beginning of the summer, I walked down the street and turned my head to look at the Chinese restaurant that was gradually disappearing into the steel forest behind me.
In just over an hour, he had harvested enough precious things.
Money is at the fingertips of reincarnation, power is meaningless to reincarnation, and power will not be a problem as long as there are reward points in the main god space.
But it's been a long time since there's such a warm feeling as chatting with an elder.
When you are most flustered, you can have someone who is willing to invite you to lunch, and leave your work behind, patiently listen to your fears, panics, and uneasiness, and finally comfort yourself with words that are common, but not thin and pale.
This is already the biggest gain.
The courage he had lost in his heart had re-emerged, but now he was going back to the Order's squad's station?
He really didn't want to go back to that atmosphere of indifference, where everyone looked at the world with scarlet eyes.
The Orderly is not a team that breeds newcomers, but instead provides the best equipment and assistance to newcomers if it weren't for teamfights, and can even lend bonus points to newcomers as reinforcements.
Those who have the qualifications survive the challenge, and those who are not qualified die at the hands of Ling Ke, and even the last remnants become the nourishment of that 'work of art'.
As long as you are useful, then the Orderly will be your best companion and backing.
It's like a cruel biosphere, raising new people as their own food, the strong people stand out from the food and become one of the predators, the weak ones will be completely crushed, and even the last bit of dregs will not be wasted and swallowed into everyone's stomachs.
Closing his eyes, Xia Chu could even feel that his teammates were becoming more and more terrifying monsters day by day.
The newcomer who has supported each other and persevered, the fireworks have completely become what he can't agree with; But he was powerless to change, and even making sure that he could survive and that he didn't turn into a monster like them had already made him struggling.
The supply of the Philosopher's Stone, the secret art of drawing magic from people, and the method of squeezing power and intelligence from the wailing souls of the dead were all laid out before his eyes, but he did not dare to use them.
Once you get used to the feeling that everyone, including your own surname, is it still yourself? Is it really the right way to march on the bones of all people in order to be strong?
He didn't know, he only knew that once he untied himself in his heart, he might become a beast that even he felt terrible.
Just as he expected, Hanabi died, and for some reason, he felt a sense of relief.
Such a death is the best destination for the companion who once saved himself from the cliff, right?
"What are you kidding, I won't change, if you don't dare, leave it to me! You're my friend! β
The fireworks who once uttered such sincere words have long since degenerated into a beast that wants to smash everything and swallow it in its stomach.
If everything remains on its original trajectory, then one day, he will also become that kind of look, a monster enslaved by power and **.
When the time comes, these hard-to-reach warmth will be shattered by your own hands.
In the crowd of people, Xia Chu walked around blankly, and the bloody memories of last night surged again, making him want to vomit in disgust - not only because of Ling Ke's appearance, but also because of the ugliness he showed in the face of strength later.
In his already desperate heart, he prayed for the last time, no matter what it was, whether it was the gods or the devil, he didn't need to save that luxury, he just wanted a chance, a chance to change it all.
It was as if there were gods listening in the dark, and in the midst of the chaotic crowd, the eyes of the early summer trance were attracted by a golden figure.
A woman who was too majestic to be approached, who was astonishingly beautiful, or rather the queen, Gilgamesh, walked down the street with a scornful smile overlooking the ants; Under the mystery of magic, no one can notice the king who passes by.
That's what it is...... Is there an opportunity for change?
A bold and crazy plan appeared in the heart of the beginning of summer, quietly following behind Gilgamesh, slowly closing the distance.
Finally, in the deserted alley, the Ancient King looked at the trailing man behind him with disdain, and showed a tyrannical smile: "Bastard, are you ready to withstand the king's wrath?" β
Crimson light emerged from the void, and the Noble Phantasm, so gorgeous that it was impossible to look up, slowly emerged in a proud form, aiming at the head of the beginning of summer.
The beating heart in his chest made him almost lose all strength, and the last courage sustained him from prostrate under the majesty of the king.
Even Ling Ke could only flee in confusion in the volley of Gilgamesh, and Xia Chu knew that he only had a split second chance to meet his own death.
At the last moment, he tried not to bend his spine, and used all his strength to utter a cry full of supplication and hope:
"Please let me be your master!"
