Chapter 7 The Unspeakable
In February of the 568th year of the Eltino calendar, Reins took the royal capital
Wearing a cloak and covering his face with a hood, Xiaocao followed Bai Wuji to the technical workshop of the Bai Xing camp. Originally, as soon as the battle was over, she immediately forced her second brother to visit her eldest brother together, but Bai Wuji insisted on waiting for two hours, because she was also relieved about her husband's injury, so she had to wait for two hours.
Seeing the arrival of the master of the family, many mechanics bent down silently but respectfully, and all left under Bai Wuji's signal.
"What are you doing here?"
As usual, Bai Qi sat at the square table where he usually commanded everyone, looking at a pair of younger siblings with gloomy faces.
I didn't see Hante, maybe he was sent out again on some secret mission.
Staring at his brother's face, Xiaocao's heart was a little uneasy. The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for an unknown amount of time, and for the eldest brother who had been trapped in the tower for a long time, he seemed to subconsciously want to escape and didn't dare to meet him.
Since I was really sensible, looking back on the past, although I can't remember the situation at that time, I have a faint feeling of guilt in my heart, and I feel that the reason why my eldest brother has become such a personality has something to do with me.
I can't remember the details of the situation, maybe I don't want to think about it because I feel guilty about it! I just remember that at my birthday party that year, I unceremoniously laughed at my brother: "You sexually incompetent and disgusting monster."
I had read in the records of the Taiyan Institute that creatures that were crossed like mules, tigers, and rabbits and rats were unable to reproduce the next generation because of genetic problems.
At that time, the scene was tense for a while, and the cold momentum exuded by the eldest brother made him sincerely regret it, thinking that he was about to be killed, and then he ...... I can't remember clearly, it seems that it was because the second brother stopped in front of him to protect him that he let the eldest brother turn around and leave, and the two brothers and sisters have hardly met since then.
At the beginning of Hangzhou, I heard the second brother say that when he ran away, the eldest brother had come out of the tower and waved at the head of the city, which moved him for a while, and wanted to take the opportunity to repair the relationship between the brothers and sisters, but then entered the prayer tower, but he ate a closed door, asked the second brother, he only said lightly: "Now, the eldest brother will not want to see your ......" After that, it is now the brother and sister meeting.
"If it's all right, just leave, don't waste my time by saying things that don't make sense. ”
Bai Qi gave a very clear eviction order, but Xiaocao didn't intend to back down like this.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to talk to you, I'll naturally leave after I finish what I need to say. Xiaocao said: "Maybe big brother you have your own reasons for doing things, but you really went too far." I was patient when you were baptized before, but this time, why are you so aggressive? Those people are innocent, why ......?"
"Nothing is innocent or not innocent, I've said that. Bai Qi said lightly: "As for whether they should die or not, since they are representatives, they have to die today." In addition, I am very curious about you who took the initiative to abandon the throne and the people below, what position do you use to say these words?"
This question really made Xiaocao speechless. From the princess to the queen, in her own life, she really has no good feelings for the country of Reyns, and she is born with holy power, and the price is for the people of this country, constantly giving life force and transforming it into holy power that heals everything. In addition to life, even the whole life has been squeezed out, from the moment of birth, it is destined to be imprisoned in an invisible cage, generation after generation, the same fate has been repeated for thousands of years, no one knows, under the peaceful smile of the queens of the past generations, but there is a very deep resentment.
The Queen Mother of the West, who is listed as the two holy daughters of mankind along with Queen Reins, has been listed as the Queen Mother of the West hundreds of years ago, and there have been examples of the Queen Mother of the West abandoning her family and never returning. Such courage is not available to the successive queens of Reins, but they just put their hopes on the next generation.
Thousands of years of anticipation have finally responded in this generation, to make it clear, including Xiaocao's two brothers, Queen Nida's three children were born into the world after inheriting the hatred of the queens of the past.
When the elder brother was slaughtering the delegation, from what he said, Xiaocao experienced his mood. He is not qualified to speak, but no matter what, what he did to Reines was just to give up, not to take the initiative to harm him, and his brother's behavior was really unbearable.
"Brother, have you ever thought that such a gratuitous killing is meaningless. Xiaocao shook his head and said: "What's the difference between your practice of pure destruction and no construction, and a little ghost who kills the teacher and sets fire to the school because he hates class?"
If the other party was Lancelot or Li Yu, he might not know how to answer, but the reason why Bai Qi became Bai Qi was that even at this time, he still said coldly: "I have the power of heaven, but he doesn't, this is the biggest difference." A weak and incompetent imp will only become a topic of ridicule after failure because of his stupidity, but a imp who has the strength to destroy everything can destroy everything that stands in his way. ”
"Do you only know how to kill? There are many strong people in the world, brother, can you really be invincible in the world? Even if you are invincible, there are many people on the earth, do you want to kill everyone?"
"Seeing one kill the other, I don't believe that everyone in the world is not afraid of death!"
As the elder brother said, any dictator who believes in this theory is doomed to a ridiculous failure, but if this dictator has the overwhelming power of terror, any crooked theory can be implemented and a bloody way can be sprinkled.
And she knew very well that her brother could not be stopped by clever words and sophistry alone, and that the only way to stop him was to rely on a powerful force that could overwhelm him.
"I see, since I can't convince you, let's meet on the battlefield......" Saying this, Xiaocao couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, why was he treated like this when he was trying to overcome the knot and wanted to regain his brotherhood?
"Then see you on the battlefield! Warn your useless husband, I have eight days left in the time, and after eight days, if I can't hand over his head, I will exchange all the lives of Ji for him! Hey! And that little girl from the Taiyan Academy, if you cherish your life, let her leave Jixia as soon as possible!"
Unmoved, Bai Qi responded to his sister's declaration of war, and then, as if he didn't intend to continue the topic that annoyed him, he turned around and went to the room.
"Wait a minute!"
Xiaocao was going to leave, but her brother's words made her feel angry. Maybe it was because her husband was involved, so she couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, I don't know why you became this kind of personality, but you must be too cautious! Compared to you making a contract with the Demon God and gaining power, I think that becoming stronger through self-cultivation like him is the real strength. ”
Hearing this, Bai Qi stopped slightly, but finally accelerated his pace and walked inside.
"Did what I said at the beginning really have such a deep impact on you? I apologize to you here, but if you are really a big person, you shouldn't be so petty, brother, you are really ......"
The sound of "pop" made Xiaocao not finish speaking, but stroked his cheeks in shock, looking at the second brother who slapped him.
"Enough is enough, fuck off!
With the same cold expression as the eldest brother, Bai Wuji gave an extremely severe eviction order. Xiaocao is really stupid, although the second brother is a well-known prodigal, but in front of himself, he has always behaved very gentle and steady, and has never said anything serious, let alone rude insults, this time in order to show support to his brother, he actually did it to such a point?
I wanted to fight back, but I saw a hint of resoluteness in his eyes, asking me not to say anything more and leave this place as soon as possible.
I didn't understand the intention, but Xiaocao calmed down because of this, knowing that this was not the time to insist too much, nodded, walked outside, and disappeared immediately as soon as he walked out of the door.
Confirming that his sister was leaving, Bai Wuji immediately rushed into the secret room inside, but he was not in a hurry to open the door, but poured a glass of water first, and after counting the time silently, he knocked on the door.
Bai Qi walked out, took the water, drank it slowly, and closed the door with his hand, from the smell alone, Bai Wuji knew that his brother had vomited at the toilet just now.
Cold sweat wet the bangs, dripping down his forehead, his face was as ugly as if he had been smeared with a layer of gray wax, Bai Qi leaned on the corner of the wall, sat down slowly, weak and weak, and had no power at all.
Bai Wuji sat down in front of his brother, took out the prepared bandages from his arms, pulled up his sleeves, and saw that the corrosive scars that had already healed were unhindered, bursting out again, constantly dripping with black blood, and the smell of fish was even more disgusting.
"Alas, why are you so reluctant? You should know that your physique can't use the Heavenly Demon Skill like that!"
In the morning, when he saw his brother using the Heavenly Demon Skill to absorb the essence of the flesh and blood of the living, Bai Wuji knew that there would be this result. Although this kind of erosion technique is the original use of Heavenly Demon Gong, it is not available to everyone, and sometimes it produces a rejection reaction, which has been confirmed by my brother's previous experiments.
Instead of expelling these absorbed flesh and blood essences immediately, they were forcibly introduced into the body, cooperating with the etheric immortal body to heal the injury, although he pretended to be okay at the time, he must have vomited a lot after coming back, until the things that were absorbed into the body were discharged, and the wounds that were originally healed by the inception will also become more serious under the influence of rejection.
Just because I knew this, my expression was so solemn at that time. Seeing that his brother hurriedly walked inside, knowing that he was unable to restrain his rejection, he thought that he definitely didn't want Liya to know about it, so he helped to talk out and drive away his sister.
"Don't meddle anymore, if that kid wants to be the king, let him be the king! If you want to give it to the day, it's okay, if you don't like it, you can kill him, if you really can't find anyone, let me take the throne! Don't worry anymore......"
The listener didn't answer, just shook his head slowly, as if he wanted to drain all the water from his body, and sweated amazingly soak through his clothes. It wasn't until a long time before Bai Wuji heard his brother's voice, if he let others hear it, he would definitely not believe that he, who had been invincible on the battlefield, would sob so cowardly.
"None, no taboo...... I'm really useless...... It's so useless......"
With his head down, his white eyes stared directly at the ground under his feet, and tears of remorse flowed down in the sobbing.
"What my mother told me at the beginning, I, I can't even do the most basic thing...... Didn't protect my little sister well...... Let her die...... You say, "Am I useless?" I hate, if only I had been stronger at that time, and given me a little more time......"
"It's not your fault, big brother! Little sister's death is her own choice...... All the crimes that are not war, only the blame is on the time, if the matter is a day later......"
Since Kigru recruited relatives, Bai Wuji has sighed more than once about the impermanence of fate, and the difference of one day is enough to change everything.
The picture of the mother's dying is still clear in her eyes, when her sister Lia did not return, but she was by her side, and when she returned to the light, her mother's consciousness was extremely clear, but after explaining the general aftermath, she wanted to speak and stopped, looking at herself quietly. The conflict between maternal love and reason is shown in his eyes, and he asks for his opinion.
(Mom, that's enough!, even if it's a tool, it always has a useful life, let him rest...... )
The mother should agree with her own ideas and make decisions as a mother, so she didn't say anything more. Originally, everything should have ended here, but at this time, the elder brother who should be in the tower rushed in like a whirlwind, held his mother's hand, and said excitedly: "Mom, don't worry! I will protect Wuji and my little sister no matter what, no matter what happens, even if I fight for my life, I will not let them be hurt in the slightest, please rest assured......"
The mother seemed very relieved to receive such a promise, but when she looked at her eldest son, there was deep compassion in her eyes, and she passed away in such a contradiction.
As a strategist who is wiser than her daughter, does the mother regret her actions? Bai Wuji can't answer this point......
"Big brother, forget it! It's enough to do this, put down your hands and go with me for a while!"
"No, you can't. I may not be able to see too far, but I can still feel that the enemy is watching us in the dark, waiting for a breach to destroy us in one fell swoop. Their strength makes me feel a kind of anxiety and uneasiness, let go now, our strength is still too weak, and we will only give the enemy a chance......"
Bai shook his head and said, "I need a little more time." In a man's world, there are some things that cannot penetrate into people's hearts without passing on through life and death......"
Bai Wuji couldn't say anything. The elder brother made it very clear, although with his own intelligence network, he could not find anything that could destroy the hegemony of the Bai family, but the elder brother was by no means a targeted person, and he would have such a hunch that there must be something that the intelligence network could not grasp.
"Mowgli, I'm very happy. Looking at the ground, Bai Qi smiled lightly: "Mom used to worry about my little sister, afraid that after she entered the world of strategists, she would be cold, but now she will be angry and lose her square inch for her beloved, which is very good...... Such a heart is the most precious thing in human beings, and my mother will definitely feel at ease. ”
Xiaocao's careful thinking and rich talent make her have the essence of being a good strategist, which Queen Nida saw a long time ago, while glad that there is a successor, the psychology of being a mother also makes her worry that after her daughter grows up, if she only knows how to calculate all day long, and turns everything into the coldest calculation, will she also feel that life is boring in addition to winning all the victories?
This concern is clear to Bai Qi and Bai Wuji, and fortunately, Xiaocao and Lancelot met to warm her heart, and in the case of sustenance, she did not go to the path that her mother was worried about before her death.
However, compared to his sister, Bai Wuji is now more worried about his brother. Before her mother died, she looked at her brother, and she knew very well what it meant, because in a way...... He is also a co-conspirator of his mother.
(Mom can see that in the future, Leah will have someone who loves her and protects her from the bottom of her life.) But...... What about you? Will anyone really know you and love you? Or ...... Are you destined to go on like this? Mom was really worried...... )
This was the mother's last fear, perhaps repentance, but it was too late, as she knew at this moment that her brother's determination could not be stopped, and she could only let him do it.
"Mowgli, the time you hit my little sister today, it shouldn't be, no matter what the reason, don't have a second time......"
"Heh, is it?, to be honest, I regret it too......" Bai Wuji sighed, "If I had slapped this more than ten years ago, maybe everything would have been different......"
This is a sincere sigh, but the person next to him did not respond. Bai Wuji smiled and patted his brother on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry! I won't see the forgetful ...... this time."
"Cappuccino, it's you!"
When he opened the door, Lancelot was stunned when he saw the mechanical dog shaking his head and tail, and looked around, but he didn't find its owner, but he found a letter in his mouth, asking him to go to the cabin on Hotel Street tomorrow evening.
Accepting the note, wondering about it, Cappuccino had already wagged his tail and left. When his wife returned, Lancelot talked about it, intending to go with his wife, but received a strange response.
"I'm not going! Think about it, the last time we met, you did such an excessive thing to her, she should be so angry that she didn't want to see you for the rest of her life, and now she is asking you again, what do you say it is for?"
"Makes sense! What is that for?"
"If it's not a trap to kill you, it's ...... I want to woo you. ”
"Xiang ...... Courting me?"
"Of course, Luo, you don't want to think about the last time you tore people's clothes, but also showed that you were a wolf who wanted to violate others, unless other girls like you in their hearts, so you don't care, otherwise, under normal circumstances, you should want to cut you with a thousand knives. ”
Xiaocao's jokes made Lancelot, who was extremely straight in this regard, seriously hurt his brain, but this worry was immediately distracted by Xiaocao's recounting of the meeting with his brother.
"Is it? The delegation has no life to survive...... "The object of the effort to save was all wiped out, and Lancelot sighed a little, "There is no way back, and all that can be done now is to fight with all your might......
That's what I said, but how much fighting spirit I can have is a worrying question. Successive defeats in the hands of Bai Qi have a certain degree of impact on the fighting spirit, but what really makes Lancelot feel unrefreshed is the attitude of the other party during today's battle.
(Strange, I'm supposed to be angry, why do I always feel angry?) and...... When the dead dwarf said those things innocent or not, his attitude was so arrogant, but ...... Why do I feel like I'm crying...... )
Some confusion was circling in my mind, and I didn't have an idea for a while, I wanted to contact Nier to see how she was doing, but the North Gate Tianguan refused to communicate, it seems that this girl wants to save face, and she doesn't want to let herself know that she has suffered a loss at the hands of Bai Qi, but it shouldn't be a big deal!
"Since there's nothing to do, let your husband open your eyes!" Xiaocao took out a silver spear and shook it in front of her husband's eyes.
"This needle gun is a secret product of the headquarters of the Taiyan Institute, and there are currently only three on the mainland, which are in the hands of my second brother, me, and Jixia Branch. You see, there is a medicine bag at the bottom, and after the drug is injected, it will produce antibodies to the radiation, and the nuclear fusion fist contains a certain amount of radiation toxicity, so it is better to take an injection to clear the blood, I have adjusted the drug ingredients, and now I have added the maintenance function of strengthening the body!"
"I don't like injections!" Even if he didn't use the Ancient Demon Dao Instrument, Lancelot didn't have a good opinion of such a thing.
"Older men are still afraid of injections, and there will be some discomfort when you first use it, but it will be fine after a while. Xiaocao smiled, leaned close to her husband, and unexpectedly opened the placket.
Lancelot's eyes lit up red, staring at the alluring sight ahead like a beast, until he felt a pain in his left arm and realized that he had given his wife an injection.
"Don't forget what I did when I was alive, I was afraid of the injection and wanted to run away, do you think you were the first?"
With his wife's charming smile, Lancelot just silently asked her for a needle gun and put it away.
"Why do you want to? Do you want me to give you another injection like this next time?"
This was certainly a very important reason, but Lancelot said another, more important reason, with a serious expression.
"No, actually, I'm afraid that you will help others get injections like this......"
