Chapter 140: The Princess of Eden (37)
In the darkness of the tent, the light of the flame stone reflected on the curtain of the door. Li Mengxi stood still, gently lifted the curtain to reveal a gap, and peeked inside.
Dressed in pale blue pajamas, Nane Hinata occupies the center of the large soft cushion and curls up in a ball wrapped in a quilt.
This is the first time Li Mengxi has seen Hinata Nain's sleeping appearance, which is lively and very cute in the quiet.
"It's like a kitten. ”
However, I heard that cats curl up because they are uneasy about the outside world, but what about people? Maybe Hinata is worried about a lot of things, so she is worried about it even when she is asleep.
"You, your sense of responsibility is too overflowing. So, he said with a helpless smile on his face.
At this moment, Xun Hui stood behind Li Mengxi with a bowl of chowder.
"Make sure she's awake, just a glance is enough, isn't it? ”
Xun Hui's sudden voice startled Li Mengxi. He spun around abruptly, gasping for a moment.
It's so close that people don't even notice it.,It seems that as the other party said.,I'm paying too much attention to Naine.。 As a boy, this is indeed a very rude move.
"I'm sorry. Before I knew it, I was fascinated. I felt cute in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to watch it for a while. ”
Hearing Li Mengxi's statement that his face did not change and his heart did not beat, Xun Hui was slightly stunned and then showed a weird smile.
"That's what Naine said, speak unconsciously. ”
"What?"
"It's nothing to do with you. To give. With that, Xun Hui handed over the bowl in his hand.
"Thank you. After taking the bowl, Li Mengxi asked, "How does it taste?"
"It's not quite as good as Nain's, but it's delicious. You guy, you can do anything. ”
Hearing this, Li Mengxi smiled embarrassedly, and put on a serious expression after laughing.
"I don't want to disturb her, so let's discuss it ourselves. ”
In this way, Xun Hui also became serious.
"Well, maintaining the shield has drained her so much energy, so it's better for her to rest. If she has any objections when she wakes up, let's talk about it then. However, Naine will not object to your idea. ”
"I'd like her to have some arguments. That way, I won't let everyone fall into the trap this time. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to put the blame on Nain?"
"No, how could I mean that! I mean...... Well...... In short, I couldn't do it alone without her. ”
Are you really not dating?
Xun Hui just complained in her heart. Since neither of them had the intention of poking, she didn't want to do it too much. Emotional problems, it's best to go with the flow.
"I think the seven of us can make up for her absence for a while. What do you think?"
"That's certainly more than enough. ”
With that, the two men left the three tents behind them and returned to the group sitting around the campfire. Li Mengxi sat back in the chairman's seat, and Xun Hui returned to Clark's side.
"Looks like you didn't wake her up. Hephaestus immediately asked with a smile.
"Hmm. After all, she's working harder than any of us. ”
"What about the countermeasures meeting?" asked Leon.
"The matter is urgent, and the only way to get her out of the way is to do so. ”
"That's all there is to it. I'll talk about it when I have any questions. Hephaestus took a sip of the soup from the chowder to moisten his throat, "However, the current state of the village is a big question. ”
"Don't worry about this, I just received a reply from Igarashi. ”
"Is that guy alright?" said Clarke, a companion who had fought alongside the Argonauts, as a matter of course.
Immediately, Li Mengxi showed a gloomy expression.
"Not life-threatening, but seriously injured as unable to move. ”
"There are more than 100 monsters called Anubis, and it's a fool to choose one person to fight against this number of enemies. ”
"In that case, there's a fool here who can't fight a hundred of them alone, isn't it?" Hephaestus sneered at Li Mengxi at Leon's words.
"Hahaha. Leave this at that. Li Mengxi had no choice but to laugh and say, "However, the key to the matter does not seem to be in a monster like Anubis." ”
As he spoke, he put on an extraordinarily serious expression.
"There must be no one who doesn't know about the 'murder in the city', especially Miss Xun Hui. ”
"Well, after all, one of the dead was a member of my former guild, the Dawn of Dusk, and we sent it out to die. Although it's a marginal character with a problem.,I don't usually say a few words.,But it's also a companion of the same guild.。 ”
Xun Hui crossed her hands on her hips, and her tone was a little angry.
"Actually, there is a figure behind the 'murder in the city' who is equivalent to the mastermind that is not reported in the news. As he spoke, Li Mengxi glanced at Hephaestus. The latter immediately realized what this meant, and his expression became grim.
"Mastermind!" Xun Hui immediately exclaimed when he heard this. Not only her, but other uninformed people were also quite surprised. "What do you mean by that?"
"It was that person who deliberately incited the prisoner and handed over the 'Seven Killing Stones' as a murder weapon to the other party. ”
"He actually instigates others to do evil, what kind of bastard is this kind of bastard with a bad character!"
"I don't know my name, I don't even know my face, and I can't determine my gender if I think about the possibility of changing my voice. However, he called himself 'Moriarty'. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a chill. Nicknamed the character of the novel, who has been named "the Napoleon of crime", is like a metaphor for the fact that he will provoke more events in the future.
And that seems to be exactly what happened.
After a brief silence, Xun Hui uttered heavy words.
"When you mention this, do you mean that this person is also involved in this matter? ”
"Hmm. Li Mengxi nodded, "Probably whether it is the change in the character of Paliusis or his monster army, it is Moriarty's handiwork." In addition to this, she has a subordinate nicknamed 'Jack the Ripper'. ”
"Sounds brutal. Hephaestus interjected.
"I can't confirm this, but it's really a master who can win overwhelmingly in a head-to-head battle with more than fifty regular members of Camelot. Igarashi's injuries were caused by him, and the two moves determined the winner, almost instantaneous. ”
"Instant kill! that Igarashi!" said Clarke, shocked. The others couldn't help but show solemn expressions.
"Although Igarashi is a mid-to-lower tier item in terms of equipment except for weapons, his skills are top-notch. However, with that Jack the Ripper as the opponent, he will be killed instantly. While making a rational analysis, Xun Hui looked up at Li Mengxi, "Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that except for you, all of us may not be able to win if we all join forces." ”
"In addition to that, there is the monster army of the captain of the guard. By the way, and Moriarty, if that person is also quite skilled......" As he spoke, Hephaestus sneered and glanced at Emily, "We'll be the ones who won't get repaired." ”
In this case, there is also a strategy for dealing with this situation. Li Mengxi is quite optimistic, "Moreover, this is only the worst-case scenario." ”
"You're saying those two might not interfere in our fight with the monsters?" Leon asked.
In fact, Igarashi's email also mentioned that they seemed to have left the village. ”
"'It seems' is really an ambiguous statement. If they wouldn't intervene, why would they injure Igarashi?"
"Regarding this, I think it's probably because Igarashi's presence will ruin his plans. ”
"Won't we attack the monster army of Palyus?"
"Well...... I don't think it's sabotage, it's part of his plan. ”
"What stupid are you talking about, red-clad guy!"
"I know it sounds weird, but Moriarty is also an abnormal person. As he spoke, Li Mengxi slowly bowed down, clasped his fists and knots with both hands, and put on a pensive look, "He may have a kind of heart for what he has done, and the fireworks producer has for fireworks." Fireworks are made to destroy, and they are the most beautiful when they are destroyed. If Paliusis is already the fireworks he has prepared, then what are the fuses and the flames that detonate him, guys?"
"Destruction itself is exactly what it is looking for...... "Hephaestus hooked the corners of his mouth, "what an interesting man." ”
"What's interesting!" Xun Hui exclaimed in confusion, "This kind of thing...... Isn't this a neurosis!"
"So, Miss Xun Hui, you have been in contact with Paliusis, do you think that neurosis can incite him?"
"This ......"
"That's the fun part. Paliusis was a relatively rational person, and such a person could easily breed darkness in his heart, but it was quite difficult to fall into it. If you want to incite him, you must be an extremely rational person, because only reason can see through the flaws of reason. But this rational person has no real interests of his own, but pursues irrational and crazy psychological satisfaction. Isn't that interesting?"
"Hephaestus ......," Xun Hui looked at him with a very wary gaze, "Speaking of which, you just use a nickname instead of your real name." ”
"Aha!" Hephaestus laughed, "don't get me wrong. I'm in a normal state, I'm not the same kind of Moriarty!"
"Stupid. Leon said disdainfully, "I won't believe the basis of this psychological analysis if I haven't seen that person talk to him with my own eyes." ”
I think this kind of analysis can only be used as a reference, not as a decisive factor. Li Mengxi smiled bitterly, then collected his mood and continued: "Moriarty, their business is here. Next, let me explain the general situation of the village......"
