157 The Hunter's Soul
readx;? It's almost impossible to tell the difference between day and night. Dark clouds www.biquge.info enveloped the entire port of Sofia, and the torrential rain and strong winds were still raging, and there was no sign of stopping. The wide streets are now empty, and no one has the courage to go out in such weather.
Ian listened to the sound of the torrential rain hitting the eaves outside the window, and looked at the faint light of the burning candlestick in front of him, and felt a little depressed. Because he doesn't like rainy days.
Before entering the depths of the Termis Mountains to defeat Naga, Alder also rained heavily for three days and three nights. He was also trapped in a small space like he is now, when he and Nicole looked at you, and you looked at me, and it was annoying to watch.
It was pretty much the same now, although there were four guests in the room, but Quinn was chatting downstairs with the other fishermen, and Big Ben was sleeping in his hilarious cuckold. They all have some experience in dealing with typhoons, so they seem to be safe. Ian, on the other hand, is a little at a loss, and perhaps Eve is also at a loss.
Now she was sitting on the bed, holding her legs, her chin on her knees, a pair of beautiful eyes staring blankly at her snow-white ankles, her long hair hanging down her shoulders and falling on the bed.
Ian wasn't a very idle person, so he had a conversation with Eve: "You haven't told me what your last name is." ”
Eve didn't answer.
"How old are you this year?"
Eve was silent.
"Are you hungry, are you dizzy, I'll go get you something to eat." ”
Eve didn't speak.
Ian felt like he was talking to himself to a beautiful puppet, he thought about it, took two gold coins from his arms, and shook them. Eve's eyes were drawn to it, and Ian smiled and tossed the gold coin.
The gold coin landed at Eve's feet, but she didn't pick it up, just looked at Ian as if to ask why.
"Two gold coins, talk to me. Ian laughed, "Otherwise, one person will be bored." ”
"I don't know how to chat. ”
"Then I'll ask you to answer yes, don't stop talking. ”
Eve hesitated, then nodded, picking up the two gold coins. Ian sighed silently in his heart, and could see that this girl was very short of money.
"Okay, here we go, what's your last name?"
"Evantina. ”
"It's good. Ian exclaimed, "Next question, how old are you?" ”
"XIV. ”
It's only fourteen. Ian sighed inwardly again, what the hell would have happened to make this fourteen-year-old girl come out and do such a thing, and have become so indifferent to her body?
"Well, one last question. Ian pulled another handful of gold coins out of his pocket, "You can choose to answer or not." ”
Eve's eyes lit up as she looked at the gold coin in Ian's hand. She probably hadn't seen so many gold coins in her life.
Ian is now considered a wealthy man, and in addition to the commission for completing the King's Killing Mission, he also has the additional gold that the city lord Arnold rewards him with. He could live the life of a rich man anywhere with these gold coins.
"Tell me, why. Ian looked into Eve's eyes seriously.
He was sure that the clever girl would understand what she meant. He really wanted to know the answers, he wanted to know what made a beautiful girl like this, what about her parents, what about her family, and what about her dignity.
Eve obviously understood what Ian meant, she tilted her head slightly, avoided Ian's eyes, and then said softly: "It's very simple, because I like it, this kind of thing is very comfortable, and I can make money." ”
Ian's heart twitched, he never expected this answer. He froze in place, for he could not imagine how a fourteen-year-old girl could safely say such a seemingly natural thing. Ian was disappointed, no, I should say very lost, it was like watching the deformed Erin's shield being lifted out of the volcano.
"Well, will the gold be returned?" asked Eve softly.
Ian came to his senses and smiled wryly. He immediately stood up and walked over to Eve, the beautiful girl didn't look up at him, and Ian had the urge to drop the gold coins directly next to her. But in the end he didn't do it, he just took Eve's hand and placed the gold coin in her palm.
She felt that Eve's body trembled at that moment, like an electric shock.
"Don't do this kind of thing. Ian thought for a moment, and finally just said, "Feeling, it's not good, take the money and do whatever else you want." ”
Eve still didn't speak, burying her head so low that Ian couldn't see her expression. At this time, Ian felt very stuffy, his chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he wanted to go out to breathe, so he said, "You rest first, I'll go downstairs and have a look." ”
Then he turned to leave, and just as he was about to walk out of the room, Eve spoke again: "What's the use of knowing?"
Ian was stunned, turned his head, and looked at Eve in confusion.
Eve still buried her head in her knees, her long hair covering her face, and she whispered, "What's the use of knowing it, who can believe me." ”
Ian realized that things were not as simple as Eve had said before. He was about to say something, but was surprised to find that Eve's pants had been stained with a wet mark, and this mark was still expanding, he was stunned for a long time before he realized that Eve was crying.
"The sea will take our loved ones away, but not always bring them back. Eve said with tears in her voice, "What's the use of knowing, who can fight the sea? I have nothing but to live." ”
This was the first time Ian had noticed an outpouring of emotion from Eve. I always thought she was just a puppet doll, but now it's not, because puppet dolls don't cry, puppet dolls don't cry. And now she's crying, she's crying, her tears are soaking her pants.
Ian's heart softened, and he was about to say something, but there was a "bang" sound at the stairs. The next moment, a strong man walked to the door of the room with a curse, and Ian recognized it, this is the guy who slapped him yesterday.
When the strong man saw Ian, he was stunned for a moment, and then pushed Ian impatiently. Ian didn't stand firmly, he was pushed to the ground, the strong man walked into the room, saw Eve at a glance, and suddenly showed a lewd smile on his face: "Sure enough, there is a prostitute here, come and come, the little girl will serve my brother and me well, and the money is indispensable to you." ”
Eve raised her head, and a face with pear blossoms and rain appeared in the eyes of the strong man. The strong man's eyes straightened all of a sudden, and his saliva seemed to be dripping, probably he had never seen such a beautiful girl.
"Oh my boy. The strong man walked towards Eve step by step, and Eve was frightened by the strong man's wolf-like gaze, and subconsciously shrank back.
As soon as Ian wanted to get up, more men rushed in and knocked him down again, and then they all saw poor Eve on the bed. There was a wolf-like look in their eyes, and these men who had been trapped for a whole day, their hearts belonging to wolves were about to pop out.
Eve was even more frightened, and she stepped back again, and all the gold coins that Ian had given her before fell out. The men's eyes straightened when they saw the coins.
"Don't move her!" Ian struggled to his feet, but was kicked by a man.
"You little bunny, you won't contribute when you're done eating?" The man apparently recognized Ian as the one who had been beaten last night but didn't dare to fight back, so he snorted disdainfully, "Get out of the way, don't look for a fight." ”
The strong man laughed and picked up Eve, and the thin Eve struggled desperately, but to no avail, but only inspired the strong man's beast even more. Desire.
"Come on, don't pretend to be pure, it's not that you don't give money. The strong man hugged Eve and walked out, and the men in the room all got out of the way. Except for Ian, he stood up again and stood in front of the strong man.
"Put her down. Ian spread his arms.
"you, it's you again!" couldn't help but vent the beast, and the strong man who wanted to see Ian blocking the road, and in a fit of anger, he gave Ian a kick again. Ian couldn't avoid it, and was kicked directly in the chest and slammed into the aisle, blood spurting out of his mouth.
The strong man snorted and left with Eve in his arms.
The others followed behind the strong man, and when they passed by Ian, they all kicked in unison. When everyone was gone, Ian was covered in blood, all his own blood.
There was silence in the hallway, so quiet that only the sound of Ian's blood dripping onto the floor was ticking, like a clock. When Eve was taken away, she took one last look at Ian, and that glance was engraved in Ian's heart like an engraved.
"Men, it's about protecting women!"
As far back as I remember, my father picked up my mother and kissed her the cheek, before saying this to young Ian. A few months later, he was powerless, standing in front of Ian and Shirley, facing the Dragon Emperor head-on.
"Ian, what the hell are you? Ian whispered, and then he reached out with a trembling hand and pulled a small gray bottle from his bosom.
"I didn't want to give it to you, it's not a good thing after all. ”
"But when I think about it, you're Irin's son, you're like that guy, there's always something you want to fight. ”
"If you eat this, you'll die. ”
Ian slowly pulled out a red pill, then put it in his mouth and chewed it. As soon as I took a bite, I rattled and rattled into the silent aisle, and there was another sound in the silent corridor, rattling, like a giant beast gnawing on bones.
A dark red liquid slowly spilled from the corner of Ian's mouth, and Ian leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.
What exactly are you looking for?
Think about it, what you can't hide, what is buried deep in your heart.
Hunter's Soul.
