Chapter 11: Cold Greetings
A fog suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The fog was thick, as if a curtain obscured the view and buried the sound. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, trying to let their gaze pass through the thick mist.
The world is like this, human vision is a gift from God, and once lost, even the strongest person will panic in an instant.
In addition to the people who can be seen, and Liu Mengchao is just such a person. His eyes still reflected the general appearance of the whole world, where were the steps, where were the synths, where were the standing bishops, where were the directions he was heading.
Liu Mengchao's steps were very light, so light that there was no sound. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a silent smile bloomed on Liu Mengchao's face.
Three steps and two steps, Liu Mengchao did not alarm anyone, and he had already come to the bishop's side. The shining and terrifying red point of light in Liu Mengchao's field of vision was the bishop's position at this time.
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled slightly, and he slowly raised his wrist. The left wrist peeked out of the white cuff, facing the panicked bishop like a quiet and graceful snake, gently spitting out the letter in his mouth.
Nobuko is bright red because it has been stained with too much blood. But before that, the letter was silvery-white, like starlight, but it was a little more dazzling than starlight. Because his voice is crisp.
As soon as Liu Mengchao raised his wrist, a crisp voice instantly sounded in this quiet room.
Scold!
It was a crisp sound, like dew falling from a high place onto a mossy rock, like a summer breeze crashing against an otherwise quiet and elegant wind chime.
It's just that the voice is so cold, no, not just cold, but desperate.
The bishop's hairs stood on end in an instant, and even his own eyes widened at this moment. The nervous mood was like a cold wind, whistling through the bishop's collar. made this man, who originally only felt that he had the chance to win, instantly feel the taste of despair coming.
He subconsciously wanted to turn back, but he didn't. His neck shuddered, and his skin was touched by the sharp, light Hidden Blade in an instant.
The Hidden Blade came out of the sleeve and threw it, and of course it was very delicate. If you look closely, I'm afraid this Hidden Blade is not as big as the palm of a man's hand. But when this small sword, which is not as big as a palm, is placed next to a person's neck, the sense of crisis that can be brought is unprecedentedly strong.
"Don't move, don't move, and take it easy." The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile.
"When the hell did you get here?"
The bishop screamed angrily. It's just that as soon as his words fell, his neck immediately felt like he was lightly stabbed by a small insect. The sensation of pain is not noticeable. But it's so sharp and clear.
Someone's neck has been slashed!
"I don't move! I won't move! Don't kill me! ”
If a person dies, then everything he originally owned will be gone, all his ambitions will only become a handful of loess in front of the grave, his desires, his ideals, his past and future are just those sand and gravel scattered in the wind. No one knows this better than the bishop, so no one can be more cooperative. His cry was so miserable, like a cat wandering out of the window in the middle of the night and howling incessantly.
"I'm not telling you not to move." The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth were still upturned. It's a pity that the bishop can see Liu Mengchao's expression at this moment, otherwise he would definitely be so frightened that he peed his pants directly.
"That ......"
"I'm telling myself not to move, because it's the first time I've done this kind of thing, so it's inevitable that there will be some ......."
The nervous Zhang Zi had not yet come out of Liu Mengchao's mouth. His wrists were already shaking subconsciously. What happens to the Hidden Blade clinging to the top of the neck if it suddenly trembles?
I am afraid that at this moment, no one knows better than the bishop himself. He didn't even have time to exhale the pain before he instantly felt that his neck was covered with dense knife marks, and a lot of blood was slowly flowing down his neck. This tormenting itch is constantly tormenting the bishop's mind.
"No, no, no...... Don't be nervous......"
Now it was no longer Liu Mengchao who comforted him, but the bishop who began to comfort Liu Mengchao. At this moment, an extremely faint sound of water droplets sounded.
Tick!
The voice is soft. But it got into everyone's ears so accurately.
"Please don't defecate in the open, or I might get you killed sooner." Liu Mengchao's hand that flicked out his Hidden Blade shook lightly again. I saw that the bishop who was held hostage by Liu Mengchao shivered instantly, and the original sound of water actually stopped at this moment.
The man actually forced his urine back. I have to say that the great terror between life and death can indeed make a person grow in real terms. Doesn't the current situation illustrate all this?
The bishop could even swear that he had never cooperated in this way even when he was a child who did not understand the world. If you want to evaluate whether a child is obedient or not, he must be the most obedient child in the world. If you want to evaluate whether a person is honest or not, he must also be the most honest person in the world.
Death has such power, especially for people who don't want to die. 、
"Man will always be vulnerable to death, whether it is his own death or the death of others." Liu Mengchao pursed his lips, gently licked his shriveled lips with his tongue and said slowly, "It doesn't matter who I am, I just have something I want to ask you." ”
"Dada...... Dadada......"
Before Liu Mengchao's words could be spoken, the bishop's teeth had already begun to shiver uncontrollably.
"You...... You say. ”
"I heard you have the Philosopher's Stone."
"Yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation, even faster than anyone else had imagined, the bishop replied in a flying manner.
"The Philosopher's Stone can do anything."
"Yes...... Yes, yes! This is an all-powerful stone. ”
Hearing the bishop's answer, Liu Mengchao paused slightly. After experiencing so many reincarnation worlds, Liu Mengchao already knew that the so-called wish-fulfillment was just a prop that made people willing to become the walking dead. But......
Liu Mengchao turned his head slightly, and he could see the light blue light and shadow in his field of vision. It was the figure of a young girl, whose name seemed to be Rosa. For such a girl, Liu Mengchao actually doesn't have any desire to save her, it's not so much that Liu Mengchao has any unrealistic wishes, but just a gesture.
Because of the effort, Liu Mengchao asked by the way.
"I heard you're going to resurrect that girl's lover with this Philosopher's Stone?"
"No, no, no, no! When pigs fly! Without even thinking about it, the bishop replied in a flying voice, "This Philosopher's Stone is also a great treasure to me, how could I casually use such an important thing to help a believer who is not even as good as a dog!" ”
A moment of silence spread as the bishop spoke, and the two brothers looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They had no intention of saving the girl, but the reality that was directly in front of the girl was too cruel, as if she had single-handedly shattered her most trusted hope in front of someone who was almost desperate. But Edward smiled again in the next second. Because he found that if he were the one standing behind the bishop, he would probably do the same thing.
In many things, you can't just rely on others, you are the key to everything.
And now, Liu Mengchao is also ready to rely on himself. I saw that the thick fog that had originally diffused gradually dissipated, and the bright field of vision returned to people's eyes.
A man, dressed in white and robed, with a silver hidden blade poking his head out from under his left wrist and striking the bishop's neck. His whole body was hidden in a white hood, and his facial features and expression were not clear at all. But even with this secrecy, the Edward brothers recognized the man who appeared in front of him at first sight.
"Liu Mengchao!"
The two of them shouted in unison, their faces full of incredulity. They...... It was completely unimaginable that Liu Mengchao would suddenly appear here, behind this bishop.
"Compared to you two children, I'm afraid it's easier for others to arouse suspicion if I run around in this order, right?" The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile, "And...... I feel like I've got a lot of confusion in my head, but I don't know any of the Philosopher's Stones, do you say, Bishop? ”
As soon as Liu Mengchao's words fell, the bishop subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly he didn't dare to speak. He was afraid that if he had any slight movements, he would be killed by Liu Mengchao with a sword.
He didn't move, but Liu Mengchao was grinning.
"The reason why the Edward brothers have delayed until now is that the two of them are too kind people and care too much about other people's lives. For example, the woman behind me is called Rosa, but I think since I can be here, you should know something about my personality, right? ”
Nature!?
The bishop can now say that he really knows a lot about Liu Mengchao's character, and he knows every corner of every aspect. He knew that the person who was holding him hostage now would never stop his Hidden Blade because he cared about a strange life he didn't know, absolutely not! "So, from now on, take it easy, and give me the Philosopher's Stone in your hand."
Liu Mengchao looked at the Edward brothers who were almost staring at him below, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said to the bishop in front of him. (To be continued......)
