Section 205: Missed opportunity
In order to cover the needle, Zidi convened high-level discussions on the grounds of urgent military intelligence.
The stand-in is back.
Under the cover of Zidi, the stand-in was deceived in the past, still thinking that he was not exposed.
However, that night, the stand-in was awakened by his own nightmares several times in a row. He realized that everything seemed to be the same. But in fact, he can't go back.
The stand-in is depressed, but he still has to pretend to be calm.
It is this apparent calmness that makes Zidi empathize with her and perceive the pressure and pain in the heart of the stand-in.
Fat Tongue takes the initiative to find a stand-in and tells him that Zidi's birthday is approaching.
When the stand-in begins to prepare for Zidi's birthday party, Zidi immediately notices.
Although Zidi is happy, she is also worried, and the pressure in her heart does not have to be small, so she has no heart to celebrate.
Zidi is strongly opposed to holding a birthday party, and her attitude is resolute.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't have kept it a secret. ”
"I should have told him everything. ”
"No matter what he thinks of me, he should know the truth!"
This idea frequently pops up in Zidi's mind, but every time she doesn't have the courage to actually implement it.
She couldn't say anything.
"Perhaps, I need a ripe moment. ”
On the night of Zidi's birthday, to the girl's surprise, the stand-in came to Zidi's residence alone.
He brought a bowl of honey from the fire bee.
"Thank you. "Zidi was very impressed.
"Although there is no rainbow cake now, I have tasted it, and the honey is also very sweet. "The stand-in said.
Zidi's face changed: "My lord, you have eaten honey, it is poisonous!"
"Ahh ”
"Maybe adults don't taste it much. It contains the essence of fire poison, and if the dose is increased, even the gold level will be damaged. Zidi said quickly, and a look of self-reproach appeared on her face, "Blame me! I remember that there were no beehives around the valley, and my lord, it would be too dangerous for you to go on an expedition alone, even if there was a potion of oil fumes. ”
"I'm willing to take risks for you!" blurted out the stand-in.
Looking at the knight in front of her, Zidi's heart beat faster, and the beautiful feeling of being loved filled her heart.
She stared deeply into the needle's eyes and said softly, "Thank you." ”
The stand-in shook his head and looked at the bowl of honey, a little deflated.
Zi Di turned her eyes and suddenly said, "Thank you for the cake." ”
"Cake?"
"Yes, such a big cake, made with non-toxic honey, don't you see?" Zidi let go of the stand-in's hand and gestured with her hands in front of her chest, drawing a cake shape in the air.
The stand-in couldn't help but laugh and follow Zidi's words, "Oh, of course I saw it." The cake is very large, and it is divided into several layers, which is a bit like a rainbow cake. ”
"No, it's only one layer. Zidi shook her head, "It's not like a rainbow cake at all." It...... Sweeter than rainbow cake!"
The two began to dip their fingers in the cake and feed each other to each other's mouths.
"It's so sweet!"
"It's delicious. ”
The stand-in breathed heavily, and a large flush swelled up on Zidi's face, and the two approached, and the distance between them was only about a fist.
The atmosphere of the cave becomes beautiful.
Zidi shouted in her heart: "Now, now!"
"Speak up, tell him everything, tell him. ”
"You shouldn't hide it from him. ”
Love brings courage and impulse, but just as she was about to speak, the stand-in said, "Zidi, there is one thing ......"
Zidi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the stand-in was going to say.
"Oh my God! he's going to tell me the secret of his!!"
In an instant, the happiness of being so trusted by her beloved swept through her heart like a tide.
She knew very well how much risk and trust the stand-in was able to tell her the secret.
In this moment, she realized that this was the ripe time she had been waiting for.
After the stand-in finishes, she will follow his words and tell him all the truth!
"It's at this moment that let's be honest. ”
All concerns were left behind by Zidi.
However, the stand-in was interrupted as soon as he spoke.
Suddenly there was a commotion and commotion outside the cave.
"Crazy!"
"Stupid big guy is crazy!!"
"Come on, man, he's going to kill. ”
The stand-in and Zidi's face changed suddenly, and they immediately ran out of the cave.
The stand-in shot quickly took control of the situation and did not cause further damage.
Zidi worries about the future: "I'm not a doctor, in fact, according to the shipwright, he has been trying to treat big men in the past, but all doctors are helpless. The shipwright has even hired a priest with a lot of money and used magic on the big men. ”
"We have to think about this one of the dangers. If the ship is half built and the big man suddenly goes crazy, the damage will be unimaginable. ”
The stand-in listened to these words and was silent.
When they were about to get to their residence, the two faced separation.
"By the way, my lord, before...... What are you going to tell me?" asked Zidi expectantly.
The stand-in said, "Nothing." ”
Looking at his back as he left, Zidi suddenly realized that she had made a huge mistake.
"He's in the big stupid guy and sees himself. ”
"I just suggested guarding against the stupid big guy, and to him, wouldn't it be to guard against a beastly him?"
"Oh my God, Zidi, you're so stupid, how could you make such a mistake?!"
Incomparably frustrated with frustration filled her heart, and Zidi hurriedly stepped forward, trying to catch up with the stand-in.
She wanted to run over, wanted to hug him boldly, bravely told him and comforted him: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say you!"
However, her steps became slower and heavier.
The courage and impulse that had been mustered up before had dissipated.
Concerns were once again in her mind.
Obviously, the distance between the two is so close, but Zidi feels that there are countless mountains and huge chasms between her and the stand-in.
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" she could only keep apologizing in her heart.
"It's not a good opportunity now, wait a little longer, there will be a better opportunity. ”
Purple Ty flinched.
She continued to wait for her chance.
But what she was waiting for was an earthquake.
Earthquakes are becoming more frequent, and people have to move the prototype of the new ship out of the valley to continue the production.
The dampness brought about by the rain was a huge obstacle to the construction of ships. Purple Di's potion played a huge role, and the heavy work kept the girl busy every day.
The situation is getting worse and worse, not only earthquakes, but also erupting volcanoes, and the invading Warcraft Legion.
While building ships, people fought against countless demonic beasts in the valley.
Needlegold quietly finds Zidi again.
"It's not good!"
"Maybe I should reveal my identity and let them protect me more. ”
His face was full of fear and worry.
Zidi soothed, "My lord, it's too risky to do this. Now everyone recognizes the stand-in, once they know that the stand-in is not real, you are the real one, and it will be difficult for people to accept it. Morale is declining, and it is likely to lead to the collapse of the front. ”
'And the stand-in, he's very threatening. Once he knows that he has been deceived, what will he do to you and me? Will he kill people to vent his anger?"
The fear on Needlegold's face was even greater.
Zidi changed her words: "Actually, we are still in good condition now, and the new ship is about to be manufactured." ”
"We occupy the valley for defense, and we have crossbows. These days, I've often heard other people praise you in private. Under the control of the adults, even the silver-level demonic beasts suffered heavy losses. ”
"That's it. After all, I am the bloodline of the Hundred Needles family......" Needle Jin's face gradually softened, "My idea just now was too impulsive, and your analysis is very reasonable." I'll continue to be patient. We're the closest couple, aren't we?"
"Of course, my lord!" Zidi smiled.
But in fact, Zidi is always looking for an opportunity to tell the truth to the stand-in.
However, it's not just that she's busy, the stand-in is either guarding the shipyard during the day, preventing the big guys from going crazy, or going to the front for emergency support. At night, the stand-in will continue to patrol at night, turning alone into a beast and fighting the beasts.
White Bud is sick.
However, there are too many injured people. Almost all of the treatment was based on Zidi alone, and she was extremely stressed.
Purple Pedicle does not have a right medicine, so the medicine prepared can relieve the symptoms of white buds, but it cannot cure it.
Soon after, Bai Ya was dying, his face was pale, and he lay flat in a coma.
Zidi rushed to the rescue and found the faded words on the letterhead, and her heart was shocked.
"Bai Ya used that bottle of ink!"
She instantly understood Bai Ya's symptoms, he was an indirect victim of Zidi's murder of the captain.
Bai Ya's letter was like a needle, suddenly piercing Zidi's heart. She felt guilty about Bai Ya and feared fate.
Fortunately, the stand-in, Cangsu and others didn't know this secret.
"Your Excellency, please stay. As she was leaving, Zidi called for a stand-in.
Only the two of them were left in the aisle.
"My lord, leave these letters to me for safekeeping. After all, you are often at the forefront. Zidi said.
"Please take good care of it. The stand-in nodded, and handed the letter to Zidi without the slightest suspicion.
Holding Bai Ya's letter, Zidi understands that as long as she has done it, there will be clues.
"Rather than being discovered by him in the future, it is better to confess now!"
Thinking of this, Zidi spoke: "My lord, I ......"
The stand-in interrupted: "Don't comfort me. It is true that I am now in a very low mood and my companion has fallen. But I don't have the power to save him, and there are too many times when my power is really limited......"
The stand-in is mired in self-doubt, and Bai Ya's condition takes a toll on him to some extent.
Seeing the demeanor of the stand-in, Zidi, as the murderer, felt even more guilty.
"Your Excellency!" she whispered, took a step forward, and threw herself into the arms of the stand-in.
"Lord Needlegold, you are definitely qualified, no, excellent leader, you are a knight, my ...... Knight, please don't doubt yourself. ”
The soft delicate body, as well as the affirmative encouragement, relieved the stand-in's frustrated look slightly.
The boy raised his hand and touched Zidi's shoulder.
Feeling the warmth of the stand-in's embrace, Zidi felt that the heartbeats of the two gradually converged.
At this moment, the worries in her heart are like a river thawing in spring, the ice on the surface of the river is gradually washed away, revealing the river full of life and constantly flowing.
Zidi gritted her teeth, and in this moment, she finally had enough courage again.
But when she was about to open her mouth to pour out the truth, the stand-in's expression changed slightly, and the ultrasound probed the front line and was in an emergency.
"I've got to go!" the stand-in gently pushed Zidi away.
was interrupted again, and most of the courage in Zidi's heart suddenly collapsed.
Discouraged and frustrated, she hated her weakness as she let go of her arms, Amethyst's eyes staring deeply into the stand-in, watching him turn away and disappear around the corner.
This is her best chance and her last.
But at the time, she thought there was still a good opportunity.
She is too young, and subconsciously always thinks that there will be a lot of time in the future, and life will be better and better.
The boat was built, and the celebratory banquet was held, and the stand-in silently left the crowd and sat with the big man.
An unprecedented earthquake occurred, the small valley collapsed, the Warcraft Legion attacked, and a tragic battle, Zidi had to use medicine to induce it, causing many companions to become beasts, which saved the lives of others.
After the battle, everyone gathered and dissected the corpses of their bestial companions.
Zidi deliberately guided: "Don't you think these beasts are very similar to those transformed monsters?"
"I don't have any evidence, I'm just guessing. The Lord of the Island has laid a super giant magic circle on this island, or some other form of arrangement. And these arrangements force us to teleport randomly, forming a forbidden environment, and even controlling the weather. In addition, it may also subtly change all kinds of life on the island, which is probably the reason why our companions are beasts. ”
She succeeded, and no one doubted her.
But there was no joy in her heart.
Especially when she saw the stand-in on the deck bowing his head and praying, and saw his heavy, unconcealed sad expression.
Guilt and distress come hand in hand.
"If others are beasts, you can be beasts too. You must be worried, worried that you will become a beast and become berserk, lose your mind, and hurt other people. ”
"All the while, your mind is full of doubts. ”
"I can answer your questions. But, but ......"
After the beast happened, it was like there was another layer of mountain-like estrangement between Zidi and the stand-in.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I caused you to ...... like this"
"It's all because of my fault. ”
Zidi wants to take care of the stand-in, but she is too timid to take a step.
She knew she was well disguised, and at least for now, the stand-in had no flaws.
But she just didn't dare to go.
She loved him, but every love was more like a hurt again and again.
In the eyes of the ship's destruction, the earthquake happened again, everything fell into a desperate situation, and it seemed that there was only an option to wait for rescue.
Looking at the cracked ground in front of her, the wide river that had suddenly formed, Zidi gritted her teeth and said another option she knew.
"Perhaps, I have another solution here. She was hesitant because she wasn't sure about it either.
"We can go to the most central areas, where there may be hope of survival!"
"Remember what we analyzed?"
"As long as we capture the center, there is hope of escape. ”
Everyone moved, but they were still hesitating.
At this critical moment, the stand-in cooperated with her again: "Just now, Emperor Shengming conveyed a revelation to me!"
The stand-in pointed to the river and made a decision.
The team set off again.
First they had to go ashore by boat.
There are many obstacles, and it seems that it is about to stop here, and Zidi is surprised to support it.
It's a scab!
They are still alive.
Zidi takes care of the black scroll and can't easily reveal her identity.
But Kuromaki agrees on the surface, but out of fear for his own life, he secretly explains everything he knows to Scab.
With the help of Scab, Zidi and the others enter the alchemy factory, through the production workshop, the lava battlefield, and the central tower.
Taling's request for help surprised her greatly, and without hesitation, she stepped forward to fight against the scab.
In the end, however, she fell short.
