Chapter Forty-Eight/Prelude to the True End (I)
The Corpse Crusher case has been solved!
But before people could wake up from their shock and feel happy and relieved, something new suddenly came.
Cromwell Corgi, the former sheriff of the Wenning District Sheriff's Office, escaped from prison on the night of his arrest and is now wanted by the city.
The first time she heard the news, Wolf Xue thought of Su Zuo.
Of course, she had heard about the horrific massacre in the city, and she had seen the prostitute, who was very close to Suzo, step into the black carriage that was rumored to be involved in the incident.
Su Zuo hadn't come to her since the incident, which made Wolf Xue worry about his situation. Of course, she was not worried that Su Zuo would never leave again, but that she was afraid that Su Zuo would run after Cromwell in person when she was excited.
Cromwell is very strong, and Wolf Xue only needs to take a look from afar to understand that the kind of bloody qi that seeps out of his bones is not something that ordinary people can have.
And Su Zuo will kill him, and Wolf Xue will not hesitate to do so. Although Su Zuo always looks relaxed and cheerful in front of Wolf Xue, Wolf Xue knows that Su Zuo, who can live normally in Wenning District, is a ruthless enough person.
Ruthless to enemies, ruthless to strangers, and even more ruthless to herself, since the Gray Branch Exchange incident, Wolf Xue has been watching Su Zuo, so she knows very well that Su Zuo is hiding the other side - Su Zuo's ruthlessness is not the kind of flashy thing that is revealed like a gangster, but a feeling hidden in her bones.
Maybe in the words of sanctimoniousness, it is called being bold and decisive, not moved by external objects, not disturbed by external affairs, but the wolf snow who has lived in Wenning District since he was a child doesn't care so much. In her impression, in Wenning District, anyone who is not ruthless enough is either dead or living miserably. Su Zuo is not dead, and he is still very happy, so he is ruthless enough.
Whether it was rescuing Wolf Xue, a murderer, holding a medicine box alone and dragging the corpse through the streets at night when the signs of the Corpse Shattering Demon first appeared, or breaking into the exchange alone in order to learn magic from someone with a huge amount of money, even the Wings of Truth incident that Su Zuo was reluctant to mention, the lingering dark illness left by Wolf Xueguang from him, and the matter of entering the Prayer Order, which usually only accepts female surnames, it is enough to imagine how amazing Su Zuo did in that incident to move the holy face of the high-ranking Grand Priest of Knetting。
If you are not ruthless enough, if you are not ruthless enough to yourself, if you are not cruel to others, you will not be able to do this.
But being ruthless alone is still not enough, only if you are ruthless, you can indeed survive in Wenning District, but it will only become like Wolf Xue, a lonely person, or like those human gangsters, get together and gang up to fight bravely.
In addition to being ruthless, Su Zuo also has some qualities that Wolf Xue does not have, and it is precisely because of such qualities that many outstanding people in Wenning District will gather around him, including Wolf Xue himself.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of such a quality that Wolf Xue knows very well what Su Zuo will choose to do after the people around him are hurt. Because now she can think clearly through herself - if it is Su Zuo who is hurt, Wolf Xue herself will feel the same mood as Su Zuo and make the same decision as Su Zuo.
Definitely won't let you go......
Crushed, Corpse, Demon!
Raising her head and looking at the cold door of Nolan Jier's courtyard, Wolf Snow seemed to be able to hear the angry cry in Su Zuo's heart from the building full of dead silence......
The silent Nolan Ji is heavily guarded, but this is nothing to Wolf Snow, most of the powerhouses in the Golden Lock of Ravens like Gart have already been dispatched throughout the city to hunt down Cromwell, and the remaining kittens are two or three mid-level swordsmen, and even Wolf Snow can't find out about its existence.
The back door that Su Zuo frequented was shut, and he walked briskly through the sentry's line of sight, and leaped upstairs through the window on the second floor.
Following a few well-dressed prostitutes, I came to the prostitution dormitory. Normally, this is where the prostitutes sleep and where they work, but it is daytime, and many rooms are open, but there is no one inside.
Wolf Xue casually picked up a set of clothes from the closet of an unoccupied room and replaced the originally inconspicuous gray rag robe. changed into the clothes of a prostitute, took off the scarf, and with the clean and unblemished beauty of Wolf Xue, even if he walked in the corridor of the prostitution hall generously, he would not attract the attention of others.
After changing into clothes that were easy to move, Wolf Xue also became faster in finding someone, she even pretended to be casual, grabbed the two young hostesses and asked about the situation, making them blush, and after a reverie, Shi Shiran walked away gently.
Because of the reason for asking for directions, Wolf Xue didn't take many detours, and went directly to the single room on the second floor of the prostitution hall. There are popular prostitutes in Nolan Jier, who usually receive distinguished guests. And now one of the rooms has become a special ward for Cynthia Goldaway, formerly known as Qiluo, and the "boy with black hair and black eyes, about 1.2 meters tall, short and straight hair" that Wolf Xue is looking for is now living in this room with her, taking care of all her "daily life".
When Wolf Xue found Su Zuo, he was sitting at the head of Qiluo's bed, helping her peel fruit. Seeing Wolf Snow push the door and walk in, Su Zuo didn't seem to be much surprised by this.
"Do you want to eat apples?" As if to say, Su Zuo greeted Wolf Snow.
Neither surprised by her presence, nor surprised by her slightly revealing clothing—that is, it was precisely because Suzo was so calm that Wolf Snow felt a little uncomfortable and abnormal.
The room was very messy, except for some items that belonged to the original owner of the room, which looked very girly, and was also full of bits and pieces that you knew at a glance that they did not belong to this room.
In the corners of the room surrounded by pink cloth, there were dilapidated wooden tables that did not match, the dirty table tops were covered with powders from glass bottles of unknown composition, short steel pipes cut into sections were scattered everywhere on the floor, and broken springs and gears were scattered everywhere, mixed with ribbons and brocade.
Wolf Xue dragged the hem of her skirt, which was a little in the way, and slowly walked to the bed. Leaning over to look at the girl lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Compared to the way Wolf Xue first saw her, she looked very beautiful at this time with her makeup removed, her pale face and bloodless lips surrounded by dark purple hair, like the most beautiful sleeping beauty, endearing.
She ...... Alive. Wolf Xue gently touched her fingers over Qiluo, or Cynthia's pale cheeks, and the warm feeling of the tentacles made her confirm her life and death.
"Uh-huh......" Su Zuo nodded quietly, and then cast a spell to beat the apple-like fruit in his hand into a paste, "It's just that I'm asleep, I don't know when I'll wake up." ”
Seeing Su Zuo holding a wooden bowl, sitting sideways on the bed, picking up the purple-haired sleeping beauty, and feeding her fruit paste little by little, Wolf Xue only felt that her heart was so depressed that she could barely speak.
Wolf Xue gritted her teeth, she had almost never felt pain for herself, but now because of Su Zuo, she tasted this unpleasant feeling for the first time: "You...... It's been okay lately......"
"......" Su Zuo was silent until he put the bowl down and wiped the fruit paste that had accidentally stained the corner of Qiluo's mouth, and then said, "It's probably not good, but it's not bad." ”
Su Zuo helped Qiluo and asked her to lie down again: "As you can see, I'm not dead, so I probably can't say it's bad, but I'm very unhappy now, so it's probably not good." ”
"You can also see that I have been very busy recently and have not gone to look for you, so, what is the matter with coming to me today?" After dealing with Qiluo's matter, Su Zuo straightened his expression and faced Wolf Xue with a dignified attitude.
"......" Wolf Xue was silent, standing in front of Su Zuo, her chest as white as snow rose and fell slightly, and she finally spoke, "Don't...... Don't go to Cromwell for revenge......"
"Revenge...... ? Su Zuo chewed on this word, and then his expression seemed to be really puzzled, "Why do you think I will go to Cromwell for revenge Wolf Xue?
Wolf Xue didn't easily believe Su Zuo's words, her lake-green eyes stared at Su Zuo tightly, and her long eyelashes didn't blink: "You will go...... You're definitely going to ...... So please...... Don't go...... Don't go...... ......'re going to die"
Listening to Wolf Xue's inconsistent words, Su Zuo smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." ”
Su Zuo tilted his head sideways and gently twisted the corner of his eye with his index finger: "Although it is often said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, to be honest, there is no point in such a thing as ten years of revenge." Revenge, if you do take a long time to complete it, you will only end up finding that you have not been able to get anything from your enemy and you have nothing to make up for your loved one. Grievances and hatreds, dragged on to the end, will inevitably be empty. So don't worry, don't worry about me, I'm not that stupid. ”
Looking at Su Zuo's eyes, Wolf Xue finally nodded, she could see that this was indeed Su Zuo's true words: "Then that's fine-"
"But remember: you feel sad because of her. But if you die, more people will be sad. So you have to promise me that you will never go to Cromwell......"
Leaning out, Wolf Xue stretched out her hand to Su Zuo: "It's agreed, I will definitely not take revenge." ”
Listening to Wolf Xue's words quietly, Su Zuo couldn't help but feel a little emotional, Wolf Xue, who didn't even understand people's hearts at first, was now able to say such insightful and reasonable words.
He stretched out his hand and hooked his hand with Wolf Xue: "It's agreed, I will definitely not take the initiative to seek revenge on Cromwell." ”。
PS: Ahem, no one should think that yesterday was really over, right?
