My head was filled with a feeling of vertigo.

A disgusting nausea tinged in my stomach.

The whole body was completely frozen in terror. Despite this, the whole body felt extremely hot, as if standing on the edge of the fire, the heavy smell of sulfur was almost suffocating, and the hissing snake-like sound reached deep into the soul, giving a heavy blow to the cranial nerves.

She really wants to get out of here, and she has to do everything she can to get out of here! Obviously, his body was immobile as if he was tightly bound by a shadow. Cold, unpleasant droplets of sweat slowly wriggled around the body like slugs.

- It's cold.

That's because the 'something' in front of you is huge.

With a surging killing intent, wait for the opportunity to swallow the prey.

If you don't leave, it's too late.

The sense of urgency seemed to relieve some of the pressure from the outside world, and the hands and feet barely regained their flexibility.

At this moment, a whisper from beside her caught her attention.

Like a dream, it is incomprehensible, and the language that does not belong to any country in the world is cleverly woven into a net, but it is like a heavy hammer, smashing into the heart of this world.

- The curled behemoth roars.

- Dragons hovering in the sky swoop down.

- The forest ground trembled and writhed unwillingly.

—The black-robed priest chanted loudly.

Already, there is no hope.

She thought to herself.

***********************

Cardiff, the capital of Wales, may not be as economically prosperous as Tokyo. But it is a good reflection of the unique rural flavor. The charming night scene is quiet and prosperous, and she is not as anxious as she is in the early morning when she shuttles through the crowd, because after eating a closed door, everyone will be forced to calm down helplessly after a burst of anger and anxiety.

Although when going out, the sisterly and close roommate teased intentionally or unintentionally: "Wearing this dress, no matter how generous a man is, he will involuntarily look away after a few minutes and look at those white swans with their necks raised." ”

However, Alice has solemnly stated that she is not going on a date.

Despite this, she persuaded herself to change into more feminine clothes for other reasons.

"After all, there is a request for people. Make a good impression on the other person. Maybe things will go more smoothly. ”

That's Alice's rhetoric.

I changed my clothes, ate something to pad my stomach, and waited patiently until 7:50 to leave.

She didn't want to eat another closed door.

At night, the Cardiff Angel Hotel looks like an aristocratic lady in an evening dress, and the unconventional golden lighting design creates an elegant and noble atmosphere.

Presumably beauty played a role. Alice was very obedient to the waiter's guidance. I met the black-haired young man at a Western-style restaurant serving distinguished guests.

Nothing has changed much. It's just that he seems to have a special love for black.

A black woolen trench coat rests on the back of the chair, and only a thin black shirt remains on the upper body. Completely ignoring the weather in Wales.

"Would you like a drink?" Ling Yi raised the goblet in his hand and said with a smile to Alice.

"No, thank you. I'm still underage. Alice frowned slightly, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and after politely refused, sat down face to face.

"It's just a glass of grape juice." Ling Yi said solemnly, and deliberately shook it in front of her. But the next moment, in the face of Alice's skeptical gaze, he shrugged his shoulders and added very irresponsibly.

"—many times, autosuggestion is able to trample on the world's qiē, like magic."

"I didn't come to you to hear such criminal statements." Alice suddenly felt that her temples were faintly swollen, and it was too brain-consuming to talk to the man in front of her, because she could never guess what the other party would say next.

"For the poor fellows who could get a critical illness notice at any moment, right?" Ling Yi said disapprehantly, took a small sip, and as soon as he entered it, his brows couldn't help frowning, this taste really couldn't compare to his own collection.

He regretted it a little in his heart, he had already known to go out and bring a few bottles.

Alice didn't know that Ling Yizheng was blaming herself for a trivial matter, otherwise she would definitely glare at him viciously.

"Yes. How much time do you think they have left? ”

"It depends on God's mood."

"Is there really no way?"

Sensing that Alice looked at him with a hint of hope, Ling Yi couldn't help but smile, and asked with a bit of sarcasticism: "It's not impossible, as long as the conditions are sufficient, nothing in this world is impossible." Unfortunately, in this case, the conditions have not yet impressed God. ”

Alice didn't care about his sarcastic remarks about God as a businessman, she only cared about her own affairs.

It was impossible for her to watch so many people die for no reason.

"What do you mean? To save them, something else is essential? Is it herbs or something," Alice reluctantly understood part of Ling Yi's meaning.

"Neither." Ling Yi shook his head slightly, raised a finger and said, "What is needed is a reason to impress me." ”

Alice was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Although she is not yet fifteen years old this year, her experience from childhood to adulthood has made her much more mature than her peers, and she is by no means ignorant and temperamental.

But such a naked request for something in return still made her heart cold, and her gaze at Ling Yi became much colder, comparable to the meeting when they first met.

There was also a hint of detachment in his tone.

"As long as I can do it, I will try to satisfy you as much as possible."

Ling Yi unhurriedly inserted a piece of steak into his mouth, and then said, "I don't have anything I want, or rather, what I want, you can't give it." ”

“”

Alice was silent again, and her face was not very good-looking.

While I was relieved, I felt a strong sense of frustration.

Although she was worried that Ling Yi would put forward some excessive conditions, the other party blocked all the way out. If you don't give a choice, won't those people have to face death?

This result is just too cruel.

Without hesitation, he pushed people into the abyss, and he didn't even bother to look back.

Ling Yi gave her the feeling that this was the case.

The restaurant was heated, but her hands and feet were cold.

"I see, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Alice sighed and got up to leave.

Ling Yiting glanced at her in surprise, usually little girls are either stalking or hesitating, it is very rare for her to leave directly like her. This can only tell. She is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is very smart and decisive.

But after all, it's young-

"You're not just coming to me for this, are you?"

The sudden sound of a sentence made Alice pause, and she glanced at Ling Yi who was eating by herself. He hesitated for a moment and sat back in his seat.

"I would like to ask you to join me in investigating that group of attackers. If it is according to the 'sacred numbers'. Then there are still three people missing. Their plot must be sabotaged before they can do so. Alice straightened her back and leaned forward unconsciously. Said very solemnly.

"Give me a reason." Ling Yi didn't raise his head and enjoyed the steak quietly.

With his words, the atmosphere froze suddenly.

Alice's eyes widened, as if trying to see how filthy and ugly his mind was under this face, and she took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the indignation in her chest.

"Isn't it natural to save people?"

It was hard for her to understand what Ling Yi was thinking.

Are you too lazy to do it? Or do you not care about human life at all?

Maybe both.

What a hateful man.

"Although I have long experienced your kindness, I still can't help but want to laugh, you seem to have forgotten the incident that happened a few years ago, right?"

"A few years ago?"

"Yes, that day, your brother saved a woman from a group of villains, and then the group of villains followed him to your house with a grudge, and then-" Ling Yi paused deliberately, glanced at Alice, and saw her pale face, he felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart, the painful past can always leave a scar in people's hearts, and now he suddenly has a lot of interest in revealing people's scars.

"What happened after that, do you want to know?"

"Say no more!"

Alice has lost her old politeness.

The slender delicate body that could be blown down by the wind couldn't stop trembling, her face was so white that she couldn't help but tremble, her hands hugged her shoulders tightly, and the cold chill that penetrated the bone marrow wrapped her whole body.

What happened a few years ago is still fresh in my mind.

It even became a shadow in her heart.

I have always buried it in the deepest part of my heart, trying to let myself forget and not care.

But now, Yiqiē's efforts have come to naught because of Ling Yi's words.

Black fragments of memories flickered in my mind.

The man with the foul smell of smoke pushed himself to the ground, his mother and brother fell unconscious, his clean dress stained with dust, and then his shoulder straps were torn off, and his delicate and fair skin was exposed to the air.

The man rudely pressed on top of herself, trying to force her own kiss with that stinky mouth, unable to move no matter how much she resisted, and the indescribable sense of weight crushed not only her body, but also her heart.

"Looks like I remembered, how's that? Are you going to continue? ”

The corners of Ling Yi's mouth outlined a strange arc, like Satan's whisper, inducing the girl step by step towards the abyss.

Alice bowed her head and said nothing, as if she was still immersed in terrifying memories.

"If I'm not mistaken, if I don't say yes to you, you'll still go your own way. Great faith, isn't it? But have you thought about it, maybe you will be treated as one of the sacrifices by that group, maybe you will provoke that group of people to receive a more painful lesson, they will not mind tarnishing your beauty, and they will not mind feeling the beauty of the most primitive human desire by the way. When the time comes, I can assure you that you will be spoiled. Ling Yi lowered his voice very softly, and used a very clever tone of ridicule to make the audience can't help but imagine that scene.

Alice bit her lip and bled out, her knuckles turned white, her delicate body trembled faintly, and she was irrepressibly afraid.

For the first time, I began to reflect on whether what I was doing was right or wrong.

It's a pity that the head is a mess. There's no way to calm down and think.

"Let me tell you the answer."

Ling Yi took her reaction in his eyes and said with a chuckle.

"True goodness does not exist, you are just a hypocrite, hypocrites are hypocrites no matter how they pretend to be, recognize themselves, throw away those high-sounding reasons, there are many ways to save people, the most direct way is to kill. That's right, if you sacrifice some, the other can be saved. A few for a majority. Isn't that a great deal? ”

"Killing people to save people?"

"Don't forget what that scoundrel did to you. Are you going to use your kindness to influence him? ”

At the mention of the villain, Alice almost bit off a piece of flesh from her lip, and her eyes gradually filled with hatred.

She will never forget that moment of despair.

As if sensing her anger, Ling Yi muttered sadly, "Why must it be you?" Why do you have to suffer like this? Why do such people have to live in this world? ”

The words reached Alice's ears. It completely ignited her anger.

Gentle? Kindness?

She suddenly remembered the local magician she had met the other day.

When the magician listened to her. He said angrily: "This has nothing to do with our association. Anyway, it's just a few ordinary people, and it's good to be abducted and sold by human traffickers. ”

Then he warned her that it was better not to meddle.

After that, pat his ass and leave.

"Huh. Seems to have understood, now can you give me a reason to be satisfied? Sue me, why should I help you? ”

For the first time, Alice had some understanding of Ling Yi.

It's not about money or anything like that.

This person is looking for 'truth'.

Therefore, it is necessary to tell him what is true in your heart.

Alice took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to look directly into Ling Yi's eyes, and said seriously, "I want to make them pay the price they deserve." ”

"Why?"

"Because he's a magician."

"What a 'because you're a magician', I'm really liking you more and more."

Ling Yi smiled happily.

Finally corrected Alice's 'wrong' personality.

After Ling Yi had dinner, he led Alice to his room.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't have any other thoughts about this former sister, but Lefa was waiting for him in the room.

In addition to Lefa, there was another person in the room.

"I'll introduce you, Lefat Tilgate."

As Ling Yi's words fell, Alice bent down slightly: "Hello, I'm Alice. Stuttgart. ”

With his usual smirk on his face, Lefa bowed back politely.

"Mr. Lefa's name is pronounced TheFacelesGod." Alice suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say more.

But she's still a child, and no one cares about her.

Lefa was slightly stunned, then nodded, and pulled out a hair-making smile: "This young lady is really knowledgeable." ”

“”

Alice was speechless, it was just plain English.

How can you live in Wales without knowing English?

But then again, TheFacelesGod's meaning is a bit quirky

Just as she was thinking, she heard Ling Yi say, "Lefa, that guy is the person I asked you to find?" ”

I couldn't help but look in the direction he was pointing, and there was still someone in the room, but the poor fellow was cowering in the corner, like a shivering chicken.

"Yes."

"Your deception is so clumsy."

Ling Yi shook his head, seeming disappointed.

"Although this person is not the mastermind, he has the most critical clues, and there is no need to worry about startling the snake, because he has lost his use value to the mastermind." Lefa explained unhurriedly.

"I knew you wouldn't let me down." As soon as he heard the 'important clue', Ling Yi turned his face faster than he could turn the book, and patted Lefa on the shoulder with a look of relief.

"You're too much of a prize."

Lefa's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to have become accustomed to Ling Yi's naked capitalist face.

But the fourteen-year-old girl stood by and was a little dumbfounded.

"Without further ado, start the torture, it's not to extract a confession, it's not right, it's an interrogation, that's right. It's interrogation. Ling Yi was very satisfied with his wording, and now the prisoner should be grateful to say everything he knew.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, the mastermind has cut out his tongue in order to ensure that the secret is not leaked." Lefa poured cold water on the side.

Ling Yi's expression stiffened, his neck slowly turned, and a pair of eyes that could kill people stared at him.

"You want to see Ketugea?"

"What I want to say is, isn't there still pen and paper? Take 10,000 steps back and say, isn't there a computer in the room? I don't quite know how to drive it, but I don't think it's going to bother you. Lefa said flatteringly, but unfortunately his dead face was so painful that it made people panic when he laughed.

Ling Yi raised his eyebrows and turned his head sharply to look at the young man in the corner.

That's right, it's a teenager.

He is at most two or three years older than Alice.

The clothes are quite shabby, and to put it mildly, he can't even enter the door of the hotel, and he will be driven away by the waiter as a beggar 100%.

While he was talking to Lefa, the boy was secretly observing him.

Ling Yi was very sensitive to his gaze, and he suddenly turned his head, and his gaze as sharp as a falcon almost didn't stab the young man.

"Boy, I'll just give you three minutes to tell me what you know, no matter how you do."

He didn't say what would happen if he resisted, but the naked murderous aura had already revealed his thoughts.

The boy suddenly became anxious and quickly got up from the ground, but did not rush to the computer in the corner of the room for the first time, but danced and screamed.

Ling Yi and Alice glanced at each other and shook their heads.

At this time, Lefa interjected lukewarmly: "He said that three minutes is not enough, because he can't use a computer, let alone write." ”

"Oh, what a poor boy. Please convey my apologies to him, and by the way, please ask him to jump from the window, God is waiting for him to be made a warden, and a good life is about to begin, what are you waiting for? And you Lefa, I suddenly think that you are very suitable to be a cleaner, the toilet is simply made for you, don't you think so? ”

"Please calm down, my master. Five minutes, five minutes later, I will give you a statement that satisfies you. ”

Lefa was covered in a cold sweat and said busily.

He had no doubts about Ling Yi's determination.

He didn't want to be a cleaner, which was the most unacceptable shame for the rationalist cult. (To be continued......)
