Chapter 367: The Third Holy Maiden
I was silent. I have to admit that this condition is too tempting.
Although I have the determination to find the third exit, the current reality is that the chances of finding the third exit are too small and dangerous, and I don't have any confidence that I will find it, and even finding it will not be possible to take everyone out. Because the third exit is most likely on the opposite side of the levee, it is unknown how to break through the blockade of the Black Manroe, and how many people will survive to the other side of the levee.
If the Hakka people are willing to open the entrance where we enter, things will be much easier.
But I couldn't believe Tang Yumo's words, their Hakka attitude on this matter changed too quickly, almost taking us on a roller coaster, leaving my heart and spirit exhausted, and my patience became worse and worse.
After Tang Yumo threw out this tempting cake, he also began to be silent, staring at me, observing my expression, just like me just now.
The campfire crackled on one side of us, and the steady but flickering light cast our shadows on the other. I looked at the shadow and suddenly asked, "Why did you change your mind?" I don't think your decision is in line with the Hakka people's initial decision. Or are you hiding or deceiving me. ”
Tang Yumo didn't avoid me. She kept staring at me, and I was looking at the shadows of the two people, and I couldn't see the change in her expression, but I could see any change in her movements. I didn't want to face her, looking at that face made me nervous, and I needed clarity of thought now.
"As I said, I saw the scene of you destroying our Hakka holy land a long time ago, and that scene is so clear and unforgettable. My ability to awaken is closely related to you, and even my life is constantly connected to you.
But now, after talking to you, I find and remember something interesting, and I think that maybe things are not as bad as I thought.
What I saw. You're not wearing the same clothes you are wearing now, which means that you won't destroy our holy place this time. What's more, in the picture I saw, there was a piece of iron embedded in the gate of eternal life that you destroyed. ”
I turned my head suddenly. Stared at Tang Yumo. "What do you mean?"
"Yes, it's likely that you've destroyed another gate to eternal life, the one in Lop Nur."
"If that's the case, I'm going to follow you to Lop Nur once and see for myself the destruction of the Gate of Eternal Life. Perhaps this is the moment when our Hakka people are liberated, and without the gate of eternal life, the devil will not have the power to control us. And we are likely to be truly free. ”
"Are you sure I've destroyed a gate to eternal life?"
"Yes. And thoroughly. ”
"What about me? Was my end a tragedy, or"
"No one can see through your fate, and neither can I."
"What about the others? I don't think it's going to be me doing it alone. I don't have that ability, what about the whereabouts of other people, such as Fat Man and Xiao Ting, are they safe in the end? ”
Tang Yumo closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, and I saw her long eyelashes tremble slightly.
"As I said, I'm just you."
I felt the flesh on my cheeks tremble, and teased disdainfully, "Frankly." I'm not used to being crushed. ”
Along with my words, I saw two cold lights light up behind Tang Yumo. It's Hakka Ayong. He had been sitting behind Tang Yumo, like another shadow of her.
Yong's eyes lit up, like two light bulbs in the dark, emitting light that could illuminate a small area. It was precisely because of his unique eyes that I recognized at a glance this person who had sneaked up on me in the dark stone room.
"You are not allowed to insult the holy daughter of our Hakka people. Even at the cost of my life, I will defend the dignity of the Third Holy Woman. Behind Tang Yumo came Ah Yong's deep and vicious voice.
"Leftover women? I'm not very old. ”
Tang Yumo obviously didn't hear the ridicule in my words, and raised his hand to stop Ah Yong's impulsiveness.
"The ability to foresee is the rarest and most precious ability among the awakened, not to mention the ability to foresee destruction. It is even more valuable. And this ability is only seen in women. Historically, there have only been three Awakened Beings in our race who have the ability to foresee, and I am the third, known as the Third Holy Maiden. ”
"So you have a lot of power among the Hakka people to make these decisions, and even change the decisions of your patriarch?"
"No, I decided to enter here, and what I am currently changing is my own decision. What about you, have you made a decision? ”
I let out a long breath.
"There is another question, you know that there is a scene of destruction, maybe this scene happened in Lop Nur, in the picture you foresaw, is there you? If not, will your joining change the course of things in the future? I can promise to take you to Lop Nur for me and my friend, so are you ready to change the future? ”
Tang Yumo shook his head.
"It won't change, and what happened today reassures me that what I have foreseen will not change. I even think that even if I don't promise to open the exit, some of you will leave here, including you, of course, and you will eventually appear in front of the door of eternal life with the key embedded in it, and destroy it. ”
I listened carefully and analyzed Tang Yumo's words, and I felt that there were contradictions in her words. She had said that she would not see anyone but me in the picture of the destruction of the Gate of Eternal Life, but now she said that some of us would leave here, not just me. It makes me feel like some of the people she's talking about are the ones who are going to appear before the gate of eternal life with me and destroy it together.
But Tang Yumo didn't know the ultimate fate of these people and me, which made me feel faintly uneasy. I think Tang Yumo knows more than he says.
"Okay." I nodded. "In exchange, I promised to take you to Lop Nur. But I don't guarantee where I'll end up or even enter the underworld there. Moreover, all actions must be under the command of one person, and that person is me. ”
I pointed my finger to my nose and stared at her, making sure she understood and approved of the statement.
"If you break this agreement, I have the right to unilaterally terminate this transaction at any time, even in the most dangerous places, and you will have to rely on your own ability to survive."
Then I said something meaningful. "I won't change my mind at any time, so don't be too rash with me."
I am annoyed with the capriciousness of the Hakka people. They are driving them crazy.
I saw Tang Yumo nodding unnaturally with an unnatural face. But in my ears I heard a voice coming from behind me.
"What about our agreement? Are you going to turn your back? (To be continued......)
