Chapter Twenty-Five: Escorting the Galaxy
Xinghe woke up after hearing a loud noise.
As the pieces of metal leaked out of José's black book and exploded, he was stunned by the glare of light and the loud noise. Even when he woke up, there was that white shadow in front of him, and there was an uncomfortable buzzing sound in his ears.
The physical discomfort caused him to fully sober up after a while, only to notice the strange atmosphere in the living room, a diminutive Moro man standing in the center of the living room, his hands handcuffed, he was wearing a smart suit, wearing a black blindfold on his left eye, a black gas exuding a dangerous aura from his back, like a hand protecting him in between, Xinghe immediately thought of his name, Snake.
Kochi and Cherie were standing in the corner of the living room, Dr. Emilio was in the other corner, not far from them, and Rongruo was sitting in a chair with her hands tied behind her back, both with shocked expressions on their faces. Dan Huang was born not far from Rong Ruo, facing Sniff, without a trace of expression on his face.
Xinghe lowered his head, and on Dan Huangsheng's side, he saw a patch of crimson, a man lying in a pool of blood, and a fist-sized hole in his head, as if something had burst out there.
The thick smell of blood filled the living room, overwhelming Xinghe, and his heart was beating at such high a rate that it almost burst out of his chest. His eyes were black, and he faintly fainted.
Sneef sighed, "Mr. Ye, you are a very clever gambler, but you are unlucky. ”
Xinghe, who was in a trance, looked up suddenly, and although the blood in front of him and the smell of rust in the air almost broke him, he forced himself to look at the corpse, the familiar-looking coat, and the title of Sniff.
Ye Zhiqiu, Aunt Ye's brother-in-law, the last person in the world to be counted as him and Lan Yue's elders, the corpse was in front of him. Xinghe's heart had collapsed, although he hadn't been with Ye Zhiqiu for a long time, he could feel that Ye Zhiqiu was really good to them.
But he died, and he didn't even call him an uncle. Aunt Ye was like this at that time, why did he have to be such a bastard? Xinghe felt dazed, a small hand suddenly stuffed into his palm, and he turned his head to see Lan Yue looking at Ye Zhiqiu's corpse with tears in her eyes.
After sighing, Sneve walked towards Ye Zhiqiu, picked up a metal object from his hand, and put it in his pocket, while the black qi rising behind him slowly retracted back into his body, as if it had never existed.
"What you said before, does it still count?" Dan Huisheng lowered his head and picked up a map from the ground that was still bloody.
"Of course it counts, the game still works. Sneve looked at him with a smile.
Dan Huang stared at Sniff, who was a head shorter than him, and asked, "Miss Garcia, how many weapons do you have in your hands?"
Dr. Emilio, who was standing in the corner, pondered for a moment and replied, "All I need is a dagger in my bag, a boning knife in the kitchen, and maybe some farming tools in the back of the house." ”
Dan Huangsheng nodded, "That's bothering you." ”
"Cheley, you wake Jose up, pack your bags, and get ready to go. ”
"Kochi, you stay here, call for reinforcements, and take these kids away. ”
Dan was arranging tasks one by one, but Sneef suddenly interrupted him, "Mr. Hegu, I think there is one thing you will be mistaken, the children you are talking about are the protagonists of this game, you can not accompany them, but they must be in the escort team." ”
"What did you say?" Dan grabbed Sneve by the collar and lifted him up.
Sneef didn't answer, but the black mist tended to pop up again. Dan's face turned cold, and he let go of his hand, letting Sneve fall.
Nineff, who almost fell because of this, did not appear angry, and he tried to tidy up his clothes that had been torn by Dan Huangsheng, but he was unable to do so due to the handcuffs on his hands.
Doctor Emilio returned with what she had found barely a weapon, a dagger, a large boning knife, and two steel forks for the grass, which she piled on the living room floor.
At the same time, Cherie also woke up Jose, and after waking up, he went out first, retrieved a pierced black book and a broken sword, after seeing the broken sword, Dan Huangsheng's old face twitched suddenly, he looked at the casual Sneve for a long time, and finally flicked his sleeves and walked away.
He walked in the direction of Xinghe, intentionally or unintentionally blocking in front of Ye Zhiqiu's corpse, Xinghe hugged Lan Yue and raised his head blankly.
Dan Huangsheng's gaze was soft, "Kid, get ready, we need to make our way through the city before it gets dark." ”
Xinghe came back to his senses slightly, "What happened?"
The expression on Dan Huangsheng's face was bitter, "We underestimated the enemy. He pointed to the metal collar around his neck, "Our magic is limited by this thing, and now we are no different from ordinary people who can't do magic, and Sneve asked us to escort him through Jiangcheng to the camp outside the city in this state, although this is obviously a conspiracy, but we have no choice." ”
"Mr. Hegul. Sneef raised his hand and put on a gesture of raising his hand to speak, and after successfully attracting everyone's attention, he continued to speak, "There are some things I need to correct you, first of all, I didn't play any conspiracy, I said that as long as you bring me to the end, then you can do whatever you want me to do; ”
"What gamble?" asked Xinghe.
Sneve showed the pistol in his hand, "There is only one spot in the six-round slot of this nest with bullets......"
"That's enough, Snef, we'll take you to the finish line. Dan Huisheng interrupted his introduction, and then looked at Xinghe, "Child, don't listen to his conspiracy. ”
Roughly Ye Zhiqiu died because of that gamble, so Dan Huangsheng wanted to stop himself, Xinghe's gaze slowly became cold, and he looked at Sniff, "As long as we bring you to the end, then let you do anything, right?"
"Yes. Sneve nodded.
"Show me the map. Xinghe said this to Dan Huangsheng, "We have lived in Jiangcheng for two years and are very familiar with this place. ”
Dan Huangsheng stared at Xinghe's eyes for a second, and without hesitation, handed the map to Xinghe.
Xinghe looked at the eye-catching red line on the map, the route started from Balbo's house, twisted and turned, and surrounded Dongcheng District, Jiangcheng Public Hospital, the old factory, Jiangcheng Police Station, and the Colosseum, he raised his head and looked at Sniff, "Are you going to let us take you along this red line?"
"It's a bit of a detour, but trust me, it definitely makes sense. Sneve said with a smile.
Xinghe looked at Sniff, he didn't think it was a coincidence that these places appeared on this road, and he was also sure that he had never seen this Moro man in his life trajectory, so this matter was difficult to understand, "Do you know if these places are because of Ling?"
"No, that's what the lady told me, take me to the finish if you want to know the truth, and I'll probably tell you. Sneef smiled meaningfully.
Xinghe was just about to speak, his stomach was overturned, the smell of blood in the house was too strong after all, he couldn't stand it, Lan Yue was the first to notice this, and helped him to walk outside the house, when he passed by Sniff, he stared at the Moro people in front of him, "I will take you to the end." ”
The brother and sister walked outside, the fresh air outside made Xinghe feel much better, he grabbed Lan Yue's hand and whispered, "We will definitely make it to the end, and then figure out what the hell is going on!"
"Hmm. Lan Yue nodded, her shaking hands reflected his uneasiness.
The people in the room quickly got their gear in order, José with his dagger, Cherie with the boning knife, Dr. Emilio with her dagger in his hand, and Dan and Kochi each with a steel fork.
Anton and Chonggo also woke up, they both saw Ye Zhiqiu's corpse, and their faces were naturally not good, especially Chongwu, Xinghe could notice that there was a trace of fear in his eyes when he looked at Snake.
As for Sneef himself, although he was handcuffed and he claimed to be restrained, he was the only one of them who did not feel a trace of nervousness. This is a madman, and the most inscrutable person Galaxy has ever seen before is Lloyd, a guy who can be violent at any time, but he at least has rules to follow.
But Sneef wasn't, what he was doing now didn't make sense, but they had to do what he said.
A certain red-haired girl was the last to be prepared, and it was quite difficult to walk from a wooden stick as a crutch, and I don't know if it was because the fever was not yet cured.
"What about my uncle's body?" asked Dan Yusheng before they set off.
The latter looked at him and sighed, "After dealing with Sniff, we'll come back, Ye Zhiqiu is a person who listens freely, he won't mind these things." ”
The three wagons parked in the open space outside the house had toppled over, and the horses pulling the carts had long since disappeared, and only the hoof prints of the horses could be seen in the snow, which meant that they had to walk this distance.
The folk customs of Jiangcheng are not simple, and they can even be said to be a little strong, among the people who remain in Jiangcheng in such a situation, except for those who did not have time to escape, the rest are probably not good.
I'm afraid this road won't be smooth, but looking at Sniff's casual appearance, Xinghe gritted his teeth, he must bring this bastard to the end!
