Chapter 39: Betrayal and Trust

After many rounds of fierce fighting, the tunnel was rotten. Ni Ziqiong half-knelt on the ground, holding the saber that had been curled and stared at the palace chime in front of her. Blood came from both of her shoulders and ran down her arms like a stream, merging with the dark black, already coagulated blood. Anger erupted from her eyes, passing through two soothing-infested apple muscles, spreading throughout her body like cancer cells.

On the other side, Gong Qi leaned against the tattered wall, his body was pierced by thousands of holes, and the electric sparks that kept coming out formed a sea of electricity on the surface of his body. He had a terrible hole in his knee with a saber, and it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to stand up. His hands, back, and neck were mortally scarred, and if it weren't for this special physique, I'm afraid he would have died a thousand times.

An arc swayed in the smoke, and a group of people held rifles past Gong Qi's body, forming a circle next to Ni Ziqiong, and raised the rifles in their hands to face her. A well-dressed person squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of Ni Ziqiong, and when he saw Ni Ziqiong so fierce, there was a little more fear in his eyes.

Meng Xiang ...... Sure enough, it's you. Ni Ziqiong raised the corners of her mouth and showed a slightly mocking smile.

"My name is not Meng Xiang, my real name is Wang Qing." Meng Xiang smiled at Ni Ziqiong, and then raised his hand in salute. "You are an admirable soldier, but you and I are our own masters, and I cannot be treated with courtesy."

"Hmph...... Wang Qing...... Don't be pretty, I'm tired of seeing your ugly face, take you and your pseudoscience to hell! ”

"Take it away!" Gong Qi gave an order, and Ni Ziqiong only felt a violent current behind her, and she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Yu Ning can't be a traitor, can't be a traitor, can't be ......

Fan Li sat here with this question in mind, waiting for them to reach their destination, and he came back to his senses at Jialan's call.

"Don't be sad either, maybe that's how it is. Maybe she's lying to you from start to finish. Jialan put her hand on Fan Li's shoulder.

"Ni Ziqiong always said, don't doubt a person easily." Fan Li stared ahead, at the slowly opening hatch.

Jialan didn't speak, holding an arrow in one hand and a bow in the other hand to take the lead out of the cabin, Fan Li was very moved to see this scene, countless times, Jialan assumed the role of a shield by default, countless times, she saved Fan Li. Indeed, she never thought of harming Fan Li. And let Ye Yuning, Qin Ziyang, Ni Ziqiong, and Pan Mingyue ...... The seven of them compared her to her, and even took them to confront her. Now, he seemed to understand Jialan's feelings.

"It's safe." Jialan's voice interrupted Fan Li's thoughts, and she looked back at Fan Li, who was stunned in the cabin, not noticing the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"It's not much, it's safe, let's hurry up and find Hu Pengyue and them." Fan jumped out of the cabin.

"Wait......"

"What's wrong?" Fan Li stared back at Jialan, her mouth half-open, and finally nodded.

"It's fine. Let's go, go find them. ”

Fan Li and Jialan ran towards the parking place. He knew the way here, and took Jialan to the place where Qin Ziyang hid the off-road vehicle, and then drove the off-road vehicle in the direction of the castle. Along. There were only birds chirping around, and there was no shadow of a policewoman.

"They can't have already evacuated, right?" Jialan's voice came from the side.

"No......"

They soon arrived at the castle, whose gates were closed, supposedly at this special time. A policewoman like Kutani, who is agile and agile, must be stationed here, but there are only insects and birds chirping in front of her.

"Hu Pengyue! Yuan Xiaoxiao! Fan Lifu shouted inside the door.

"Jiao Yang!"

No one heard back.

Jialan walked to the door and listened with her ear on the door for a while. Then as soon as he pulled the door, the heavy gate was slowly opened by Jialan with a creaking and piercing roar, and a puff of smoke and dust was sprinkled overhead.

"Looks like this door has been closed for a long time." Jialan looked up at the cobwebs on the roof and said.

"How could it be...... Yu Ning has always let them stay here! Fan ran into the castle, and Jialan tried to warn him of the danger inside, but as soon as he raised his hand, he had already run into the house.

"Jiao Yang! Hu Pengyue! Yuan Xiaoxiao! Fan Lifu shouted around, but no one responded. He jumped up to the second-floor dormitory in three steps and two steps, slammed open the door of Hu Pengyue's room, and raised a puff of dirt ash, and a group of bats flew to the side.

"Ahem!" Fan Lifu looked at the scene inside, the futon was still there, the window was still wide open, the window and the quilt were full of bird droppings, and there were some traces of insect moth.

He ran to the other people's rooms and kicked their doors open one by one, and they were all the same, no one lived in them, and there were blood stains in two of the rooms.

Fan Lifu squatted down and looked at the blood inside, the blood had coagulated, and there was a group of small insects gnawing next to the blood.

"Fan Li?"

"You're scared me to death!" Jialan's voice scared Fan Li.

"There is no one in the house, they should have evacuated long ago."

"Impossible." Fan Li denied Jialan's words, you see that this blood, although it has coagulated, it is not a long time ago, and there are insects next to it. ”

"Then you think it's human blood?" Jialan also squatted down and looked at the blood.

"I think there is another mystery in this 'extinction' island." Fan Lifu stood up and walked outside, standing on the second floor looking at the thick wooden table below.

The last time I had a cordial conversation with Ye Yuning was here, in Fort William in the middle of the "extinction" island. At that time, Ye Yuning looked so beautiful, and compared to Qin Ziyang, he was so quiet.

"Well, it's been very difficult to get to this point, and the road in the future may be even more difficult."

"I'm just an ordinary person, and fear is normal for me. Sometimes I just felt tired and lonely until I got into the organization, found my home, and found you. ”

Ye Yuning's words drilled into his head like a cockroach, but they brought him a rare burst of tranquility like a daffodil. He was wondering if Yu Ning at that time was already planning all this, and had planned to make everyone a victim of her plan, maybe the investor really offered her sky-high conditions, so that a girl like her, who regarded money as dung, also lost her purity.

But why does she emphasize "you"?

Fan was puzzled, and wanted to know the answer, just like he wanted to know the next question. But when Qin Ziyang arrived, he interrupted their conversation, maybe Ye Yuning would nod her head and show her affection, maybe she shook her head and spit out the truth, and the subsequent story was like what happened in the treatment room, how natural, natural......

No way, Yu Ning is not the kind of person who is inconsistent. Even though she was crowned as a "master of disguise", everything she did was as natural as the faith in Qin Ziyang's eyes, and everything she did was nothing but do her best for this rare home. But why did he desperately want a few drops of abominable dust and mud in this cup of clear water?

"Fan Li, I want to ...... It's time for you to accept reality, and I hope all you see is an illusion. But...... But the facts ......"

"There are no facts." Fan Li once again denied Jialan's words. "My so-called facts, like Ni Ziqiong's dreams, no matter how real they are, the result is illusory after all. Maybe I haven't met Ye Yuning. I haven't seen Qin Ziyang, I'm like a psychopath, dreaming of a rich man, feeling everything that is not real. ”

"Don't do that." Jialan stood beside Fan Li, staring with him at the wooden table below. "I know you like Yu Ning. She's so beautiful, so good, and can protect a fool like you. can sing for you in your spare time, and if you really come together, she can also cater to your character of not seeking fame and fortune, choose to open a restaurant, and live an ordinary life from then on. ”

"But it's all fake." Fan Li sighed. "Although I disagree with ten thousand people in my heart, the facts are in front of me. The policewoman is gone, Ye Yuning is gone, and I was led by the nose like a fool. Fan Li raised his right hand, and blue flames rushed into his palm. I'm beginning to wonder if the meaning of the Regency is really what it is now. What does the Regent mean, or rather, the Regency itself is something I made up. ”

"When I was training under Rampa, I used to be a jungle warrior. I still remember the most difficult night, the fighters with me were attacked, the captain was killed by a thunderbolt, the deputy captain fell into the swamp, and the sniper was bitten by a poisonous snake and was anesthetized to death...... We stayed there for two long days because I was the only girl and they all took good care of me until I died. In the last few days, I pillowed my dead companion and looked at the bright moon in the sky, only to see the mocking smile of death. I know that I am going to die, and I will eventually be like them, but I am unwilling in my heart, because of you, because of our former friendship, because of Xiao Xiao, Xiao Yun, Kai Xuan, Chu Jianghe, because of the eternal love between grandpa and grandma. I know I have to live, because sometimes, the problem is not how calmly you face death, but how difficult it is to face life. ”

"So you're standing here today, becoming the elite of the elite under the Blue Pap?"

"So I stand here today, still with the passion and feelings I had when I went to the grave with you, because I know that it is not the blood and the future that remind people how to live, but the memories that everyone has had, whether you dare to pick up those precious memories or not, in the end you have to accept the future, so compared to those fame and fortune, memories have become much more precious." Jialan patted Fan Li's shoulder, walked down the attic, and walked towards the gate.

"yes, memories." Fan Li looked at the thick wooden table, he stared at the stripes on the table, and saw some guitar-style patterns, those were notched, it was estimated that they were made by Qin Ziyang, this girl who loves music has always used music to surprise people. Finally he followed the strings and looked all the way down, and suddenly realized that the sound hole of the guitar was very small.

He looked at the sound hole carefully, and felt that it was not a circle, but a slightly distorted shape, very disorganized, but how to look at it felt familiar.

Well?

Something suddenly occurred to him, and he put his hand in his pocket and took out a token that he regarded as a treasure and always carried with him - the "Night Star". (To be continued......)
