Chapter 4: Choice and Loss
Bai He was almost dying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two men in front of him and behind him muttered, but he didn't understand a word. I just know that the girl behind me is angry, and the man in front of me is playing with himself and the girl behind him. If Bai He had been hung up when he woke up, then he would not have been cornered by a man here, but would have easily won the hearts of beautiful women after cleaning up this group of thieves in three or two clicks.
Damn, when will I get my hanging?
Bai He, who has seen countless previous experiences, knows that this is definitely the best time to hang out and let himself get. And he can be sure that eighty percent of his hanging is a fisherman's profit. The so-called fisherman's profit type refers to the death match between two powerful existences, and in the end, all the benefits go to the protagonist. So if you want to play your own plug-in, now is the most suitable time.
While alerting the man in front of him, Bai He pricked up his ears to carefully catch any unusual noises that might occur in the forest.
Come on, come on.
[I understand, I'll go with you.] There was a voice behind him. Hana patted Bai He on the shoulder, shook her head at him who turned his face away, showed a rather reluctant smile, and then walked out from behind Bai He and walked towards the man.
What does this stupid woman want to do?! Bai He soon understood that the girl probably wanted to surrender to this man.
What are you kidding?!How can I just let you go before I get my hanging?
Bai He grabbed the girl's hand and pushed her back behind him.
[Oh, oh, I didn't expect to meet a little knight in such an unexpected place, Miss Hana. The man smiled playfully, unconcerned about the fierce gaze that Bai He tried to make. [Little knight, what do you want to do to hand over Miss Hana to you?] The man asked Bai He.
Of course, Bai He couldn't understand what he was saying, but he knew that the person this man was talking to was not Hana but himself.
How to answer, how to answer?
The girl behind her was still struggling, trying to pull her hand out of Bai He's hand.
What to do?
Although it was cool in the forest, Bai He felt that he was sweating so much that he was about to be unable to catch the girl.
What should I do? Damn it, can't I hang it yet? If I don't come again, I'm going to die!
[He is deaf and dumb!] At the critical moment, Hana stood up and said something.
Miss Hana is really very loving, and I admire it. The man sarcastically said to Hana. [In that case, let's be kind, in a way that this deaf and mute person can understand.] 】
As he spoke, the man pulled out a knife from his waist and threw it at Bai He's feet.
"I've promised to go with you!!" Hana roared.
[Yes, Miss Hana, you did agree to go with you. But the little knight doesn't seem to agree, so we'll have to settle it in a man's way. The man pretended to be innocent and played with the two small prey that had reached his mouth.
[Come on, little knight, pick it up.] Obviously Hana had already said that Bai He didn't understand, but the man still sent a message to Bai He.
This is...... Give me a chance to challenge him?
Let me, challenge him?
Are you kidding!?
If you pick it up, you will definitely be killed by this man.
What if you don't pick it up? What if you have to pick up a knife and challenge a man to get it? What if there is a nearby master who has nothing to do and hides to observe himself? What if this simple knife is actually an ancient artifact?
If you pick it up, if you don't pick it up, I'm afraid you'll still die.
To pick it up, or not to pick it up?
At this moment, the two people in front of and behind them were quiet, waiting for Bai He's choice.
Gollum ......
Bai He swallowed.
Finally, he bent down.
He didn't see the corners of the man's mouth curled up at the moment he bent over, nor did he see the anxious look of the girl behind him.
At this moment, the girl just stood behind Bai He. No struggle, no shouting, only the anxious look on his face.
When Bai He's hand held the knife, it suddenly overflowed with golden light, turning into a pure golden knife and turning into liquid, wrapping Bai He's hand. When the golden light dissipated, a pure golden long sword appeared in Bai He's hand...... This kind of thing didn't happen. It was just an ordinary knife.
Raising the knife, Shiraka pointed it at the man.
Seeing Bai He raise the knife, the smile on the corner of the man's mouth was even stronger, and he could see it clearly, the knife that Bai He was holding was trembling. But so what, since the other party has raised his weapon, he has to fight.
Drawing the long knife hanging from his waist, the man made a battle posture.
What, what's wrong?
The moment the man posed, Bai He felt as if he was naked in the ice and snow. He could vaguely see the sight of the man lightly cutting off his head in the next second.
What to do?
Why hasn't the plug-in come yet?
Do you want to fight such an opponent yourself?
What are you kidding?! You're going to die!
What to do?What to do?What to do......
What to do......
What to do......
Wait, a thought that Bai He had always wanted to turn a blind eye jumped into his mind.
Don't...... I'm just an ordinary person here?
So I crossed over and didn't understand the language? So I almost died again and again? So I didn't have a plug-in?
Just an ordinary person?
One...... Ordinary people who die if they are killed?
But what if, if you're the protagonist, and there's a master in the neighborhood?
...... Ten thousand...... One?
yes, that's just in case......
1 in 10,000......
If the 1 in 10,000 chance doesn't materialize...... I'm going to die?
I, will I die?
...... Right.
If it doesn't materialize, I'll die.
But what about this girl? This girl is kind to herself?
No, you're wrong. Even if the girl were taken away, there would be no danger.
There will be danger, only you.
Yes, it's just me.
I...... will die, in danger...... will die.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die!
With a smack, Bai He dropped the knife and stepped back a little, indicating that he had given up and was willing to be a loser.
Seeing this, the man reluctantly put away his weapon.
【Whoa!】
Hana's eyes widened, a little incredulous. Although she didn't want Bai He to die, she never thought that Bai He would abandon her. But...... She couldn't say anything.
Bai He held his breath and retreated, he didn't want to stay here for a moment. When I passed by Hana, involuntarily, a sorry word came out of his mouth.
When retreating to a certain distance. Bai He turned around and ran.
He didn't look back to see what was going on there, because he didn't have that qualification anymore.
But if Bai He knew what had happened, he would definitely regret it.
But what's the use of regretting it?
for he has fled. Because he was afraid of death, he left the girl and fled.
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
Listening to the footsteps that were gradually moving away, Hana's mood was very complicated. She never thought that the boy would leave her and run away.
Although she knew in her heart that she had only just met the boy and the relationship was not so deep, she always had to say a cowardly sentence in her heart when she faced the empty body in front of her.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Who would fight for someone they've just met? And in such mortal circumstances.
Even though I know in my heart, why is it lost?
"Miss Hana, it seems that your little knight is very clever. The man in front of him sarcastically mocked himself.
This is also something that can't be helped. I'm sure something terrible will happen to me next.
There's no way around it, just be patient.
"Alright, Miss Hana. Now that your little knight is gone, why are we still here?" said the man, taking two steps forward.
!
The instincts he had cultivated over a long period of time between life and death made him take a big leap back.
"What people!"
At this moment, a person floated slowly down from the top of the tree beside Hana and landed in front of Hana.
The man was wearing a cloak, and his entire body was hidden under it.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out of the man's body, wetting most of his back. He didn't even notice there was a fourth person here!
"Evil wolf, if you want to live, get out of the way!" the man shouted, hoping to use the name of his organization to scare off the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. But in fact, he already felt a little bad in his heart, so even the voice that shouted out was a little trembling.
"Heh, I'm not interested in writing down the names of kittens and dogs. A cold voice came from under the cloak, a somewhat older-sounding male voice.
"Smack. The man under the cloak raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. The man on the other side looked wary, not knowing what the hell this cloaked man was up to.
Hearing a "whew" sound, a white flame emerged out of thin air from the feet of the man opposite, and it only took a few breaths to spread to the man's whole body.
The man didn't even make a single cry for help, and he had already turned into a cloud of ashes.
At the same time, not far from the unfortunate ghost who had been burned to death, the same white flame jumped and silently burned a twisted flesh. And at this moment, there are twenty-nine other places in the forest where this scene is also being played.
Hana was a little scared. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid, whether it was facing the life and death in front of her in the camp, or facing the man who was burned to death just now, she was so scared that she wanted to hide in the bed immediately and cry and sleep hard, so as to forget all this. But she couldn't, if nothing else, because it was happening right in front of her eyes. There will be an end to escaping, and no matter how she escapes, sooner or later she will have to face something chasing behind her. So, after Hana closed her eyes and took a deep breath in her heart, she opened her eyes and reopened the smile that she had been accustomed to hanging on her face, and the voice that lingered in people's ears like a sound around the beam sounded again.
"Thank you for your help, sir. ”
□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□
Ha...... Ha......
Bai He kept running, out of breath. Although his physical strength was approaching the limit, he still kept running at full speed.
In front of me is a dark forest, and all you can see is the outline of a tree. The wind blew the leaves, and the flowing air whirred in Shiraku's ears. Bai He didn't care about the location, direction, possible dangers, etc., he just wanted to run.
You can't stop, if you stop, the idea of abandoning that girl will come back to mind.
Thundered......
In the distance, there was a sound of thunder in the sky. A loud sound shook Bai He's body, and the air around him suddenly became much colder.
Bai He didn't care about that, nothing could stop him now, he just kept driving his body, trying to forget what he had just done by running.
However, there is always an end to running. After passing through a shrub, a wide river spread out in front of Shiraka, splitting the forest into two sides.
Seeing the big river, Bai He did not stop, but plunged straight into the river. He knelt like that, his hands propped up on the stones that covered the bottom of the river.
The icy river water cooled Shiraka's body, which was hot from running, after his body had completely calmed down............
Endless humiliation, shame, and anger all poured into Bai He's head.
Smack...... Smack......
Droplets of water falling from the sky lap the leaves. At first, it was slow, and then very suddenly, heavy rain fell from the sky, wetting the whole world.
In the rain, Bai He knelt in the river like that, letting his body temperature be taken away little by little.
He's starting to hate the world a little bit.
