68.Wolf Mark (2)
As the distance towards the "owner" approached, Alice also had to start slowing down with the black rabbit. The surrounding "dogs" began to become more dangerous, more fierce, but also calmer. They have also begun to dress neatly, although they still look a little "dirty", but at least in terms of "spirit", they are no longer like the previous "mad dogs" who are about to bite people.
Of course, they also became bold, and would stand in the middle of the road very calmly to look at the two "ill-intentioned" visitors, as if silently telling their identities different from those "mad dogs" before.
But...... It's still somewhat similar, because they have the same "sharp weapon" on their hands that has almost become part of their bodies.
The slowdown was eventually halted by the "loyal dogs", who did not seem to want to let the "visitor" go on without any words. These "brutes" who are obviously more "intelligent" are obviously stronger than the "wild dogs" just now, and they also know better how to cooperate, and it is no longer the best policy to continue to provoke trouble. At the beginning, the plan that the black rabbit said was not to go all the way to the end like killing the gods, naturally, it is impossible for anyone to have unlimited physical strength, and can always maintain a high level of concentration and efficient "slaughter", the black rabbit She looks a little tired, of course...... Myself too.
It's going to be up to Aesop. Let's see how much Irina is worth to him.
"It's really a rude welcome. ”
The black rabbit stopped as she spoke, and she waved at the girl in front of her casually as if she were driving a dog. "Can you understand people? Call your masters. ”
“......”
The girl was silent. Hesitant.
Although she doesn't want to slander the behavior of a "human" at will, Alice still has to admit that she has not seen any creatures that can be considered "human" along the way, whether it is those guys who use their hands and feet just now, or these guys who have stood up now, but still haven't changed their "animal" habits, I'm afraid they don't think of themselves as "humans" in their hearts at all.
If this was Aesop's "upbringing" method, then it would not be surprising that these slaves would do anything. After all, animals are impermanent, as long as they can live, as long as they can get the praise and reward of their owners, everything is worth it for them.
Is Irina one of them after all?
Eventually, under the Black Rabbit's overly "direct" orders, the girl who didn't know what to do next turned around and ran away. But even so, the guards from these "beasts" around them suddenly became tighter, and a pair of eyes that were eager but bound by orders and impulses, this ...... It's all "animal" eyes. It's all cute. Children who also deserve a good life......
"Wow...... Alice, I didn't find it. ”
The branches were shaking. The March Hare was already sitting on a branch, and the Cheshire Cat who accompanied her was playing with her tail around the treetops to pass the time.
The "dogs" hiding under the tree were alarmed, and they spun around in a panic for a while, but in the end they had to choose to look dryly at the two "gentlemen" who easily appeared there on the tree. Obviously, one has rabbit ears and a tail, and the other is simply a cat lady, but they behave very "gentlemanly", and they should be normal "human" teenagers and girls, but because of obedience and orders, they have become loyal "dogs". Alice felt more sympathy for the slaves than for sarcasm.
"Found Meow. The upside-down Cheshire Cat straightened up and pointed to her companion as if she were trying to make a tabloid to the black rabbit, "But this guy is afraid of meowing, so he's back." ”
"Hey ......"
"Meow hee hee, go cry next to your little master. ”
Laughing, the Cheshire Cat jumped from the treetops to the Black Rabbit, and the March Rabbit came to Alice's side after smacking her mouth in displeasure. Although they are still "unhappy" with each other, they quickly get serious in the face of such a need for "caution".
"I'll make a note of the smell called Aesop, but when I was about to beat him up and find out, I sensed something unpleasant. ”
Changing his previous casualness, the March Rabbit rubbed his hands, "Just to be on the safe side, I'll pull some idiot back." ”
"I just saw the wolf, meow...... There's no way around it. ”
Cheshire Cat, who still didn't forget to mock her companions, began to play with her white gloves, "After all, rabbits are afraid of wolves, and the further you go, the more 'wolves' there become." With so many pets, their owners are really happy. ”
Wolf...... Is it?
It must be an "animal" that is more fierce and calmer than a "dog". Wolves don't mind living in groups, and they don't fear loneliness, although they also want to "survive", but they know how to make trade-offs. What kind of prey can be culled, what kind of prey is so dangerous that it needs to be avoided, how should the prey that can be culled be calculated to get the greatest chance, and what should be done after solving the prey to ensure their own safety.
These are things that only "wolves" can do, and if these wolves are unconditionally obedient to their owners on the basis of retaining their wild nature, then such a "team" is absolutely dangerous.
"Have you seen Irina?"
"It didn't show up, but it still smelled a little. After a pause, the March Rabbit looked into Alice's eyes, "Now, Alice, are you going to give her a chance until now?"
"You ......"
March Hare, this guy really know......s! No, it should be said that the gentlemen and ladies in their books have long known about it, and only themselves are kept in the dark. They don't care about what they've been hiding from them until now, because they'll learn a little bit about it over time.
Right now...... For that person, for that person who does not hesitate to stay forever in the blank corner of the book, and who also persists, I can't become hesitant anymore. Now the real "she" should still be staying somewhere, waiting for her to go, she pinned everything on herself, and even sacrificed the most precious "time" and "life" for this.
Yes...... Letty, even if you don't say anything, I won't forgive the "wolf" that made you never see the light of day and make you never able to fly again.
"Did you get a reward?"
Two figures slowly walked out of the darkness, although Aesop still looked so hateful, and the "ridicule" on his face still looked so much that he wanted people to rush over and beat him, but this time his goal was to follow him like a "dog", and to obey his orders like a "wolf", and not hesitate to turn his back on his companions to be rewarded for his "brute".
"You look happy, Irina. (To be continued.) )
