Chapter 14: The Sorcerer's Codex (12)
"Boss Charlie, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Jiu did not signal Fang Fengran to remain calm, and he was the first to speak:
"We did what you told us to do, and at the end of the day, are you going to unload the mill and kill the donkey?"
Charlie smiled lightly, flicked his fingers against the dust on the table, and responded:
"My credibility has always been guaranteed, and the four thousand witches will not be missing from you at all. But before I do that, I want to know what you've found in the wizarding ruins? β
Jiang Jiuwei's pupils shrank, he stood up, and said angrily:
"You're stalking me?"
The waitress on the side walked behind the two of them at some point, her eyes were vague, as if she was watching. Jiang Jiu didn't know the measure, he just pretended to be angry, but actually observed Charlie's attitude.
"We didn't send anyone to follow you," Charlie said with a smile as he pushed his glass.
"I can only say that you are too attention-grabbing. Surrounded by wolves, can you turn enemies into friends? In the end, they broke the wizard ruins together, so many doubts, I really have to be curious. β
Charlie looked at Fang Fengran, who was sitting on the sofa again, always keeping his head down, and said:
"This little friend is even more strange, he can get along with those beasts, are you interested in doing it with me, lure your white wolf girl over, and we will divide the money from selling her?"
Fang Fengran couldn't bear it any longer, got up after patting the case, and swung his fist back at Charlie. The waitress behind him waited for a long time and pulled out a bright-bladed kitchen knife and stabbed him in the heart from behind.
Jiang Jiu was not prepared in advance, turned sideways, raised his thin leg and kicked up, accurately shot down the knife in the girl's hand, and launched the eternal light sideways, throwing the beam directly into Charlie's face.
Charlie was caught off guard, his eyes were instantly blinded, and he could only stretch out his hands and fumble his way back.
Jiang Jiuwei wanted to pursue, but felt a familiar pinprick feeling from behind. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she turned her head, only to find Xiaobai standing beside the girl, looking at her with a deep gaze.
She leaned on the corner of the table, trying to question, but before she could speak, she was numbed by the familiar toxin and lost consciousness.

"Ninth sister, wake up!"
"I went to that little white and hid too deeply."
"It's really going to roll over this time..."
"Fang Fengran, how can he believe everything, he is speechless......"
Finally getting rid of the tsunami-like dizziness of his brain, Jiang Jiu didn't open his eyes, and found that he was being chained to a cross, and in front of him was a huge wooden barrel, and Xiao Bai was leaning on the side of the barrel, looking at him with a playful expression.
"Why?"
Jiang Jiuwei's eyes were cold, and he didn't try to make a useless struggle, just quietly stared at Xiao Bai, waiting for her answer.
Xiaobai watched her for a long time, pouted his lips rather boredly, and said sarcastically as if he suddenly remembered something:
"I almost forgot that you can't feel fear in something like yours that is crippled even by basic human emotions."
[The current number of live viewers: 17.6w+ (the first in the whole period of the newcomer list)]
"What's that?"
"Ninth Sister can't really be a mental patient, right?"
"I'm going, she's a psychopath? Slipped away..."
ββ¦ She really doesn't seem to take us fans seriously at all and takes us all the time. β
Xiao Bai seemed to think that what he said was not too much, so he got closer, looked at Jiang Jiuwei's powerless appearance, smiled quite interestingly, touched her cheek with his fingers, and said:
"Aren't you just a monster that no one wants? Why do you have this face, why don't you tear it off......"
The little white pupils gradually turned dark green, and said ruthlessly:
"Give it to me?"
As soon as Jiang Jiuwei wanted to open his mouth, a sharp pain like tearing came from his face, followed by a hot melting sensation, as if someone had poured a basin of boiling water on his head.

of the rollback point
Is it over?
Jiang Jiuwei felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ocean, and he couldn't feel his body, but his consciousness didn't dissipate. In the fog, she felt the message that the deep sea had conveyed to her.
"Rollback?"
She tentatively focused her consciousness on the second option, and as if she had been fished out of the water, her mind quickly returned to her body.
"Ha, ha..."
Jiang Jiuwei opened his eyes as if he had been amnestied, gasped, and raised his head to see that Xiao Bai was leaning against the huge wooden barrel, his eyes teasing. She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had recoiled time, back to the time when she was tied to the cross.
Jiang Jiuwei's eyes flashed, his tone was a little heavier, and he asked sharply:
"Xiaobai, what are you doing? Why do you want to help Charlie, that black-hearted businessman? β
Xiaobai was stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect her to say so many words at once, and then lowered her face, leaned over to her, reached out and stroked her cheek, and said with a smile:
"Won't I help him help anyone, help you, a monster who is even crippled by basic human emotions?"
[The current number of live viewers: 17.6w+ (the first in the whole period of the newcomer list)]
"What's that?"
"Ninth Sister can't really be a mental patient, right?"
"Monsters? She's not human?! β
ββ¦ But she really doesn't take us fans seriously at all and has been taking advantage of us. β
Jiang Jiu didn't feel the touch on his face, remembered the pain of being torn before, his eyes were slightly heavy, his eyes suddenly turned red, he raised his head and seemed to find it difficult to accept the facts in front of him, and choked up and said:
"Xiaobai... I obviously think of you as a friend......"
In fact, Jiang Jiuwei's facial features are delicate, his skin is fair, and he looks delicate and soft, but he usually has a cold face, so he doesn't look close.
But this time she showed such a sad expression, coupled with that innocent and excessive face, which made Xiaobai's heart tremble slightly, and she couldn't help but stop the hand that was about to perform witchcraft.

"Who just said she was mentally ill?!"
"The ninth sister doesn't cry, my sister hugs."
"Ahhh
"Go upstairs, leave me half of it, I want to tear it raw."
"Hurry up and find a way, everyone, rescue the ninth sister!"
Jiang Jiuwei originally just wanted to pretend to show weakness and get more information out of Xiaobai's mouth, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, and even the direction of public opinion in the barrage was changed by his own small action.
For the first time, she couldn't help but appreciate the charm of her "SS".
Xiaobai came back to his senses, sneered, patted her cheek with his fingers provocatively, and said coldly:
"You treat me as a friend? Heh, have you been with Fang Fengran's idiot for a long time, and your head is not clear. β
Jiang Jiuwei's eyes flashed, his lips and teeth trembled, and he actually shed two lines of tears.
She didn't seem to want to say more, and closed her eyes straight, as if she was desperate after being betrayed, and gave up all resistance.
Seeing her like this, Xiaobai became angry, frowned, and said loudly:
"Jiang Jiuwei! Speak to me clearly! β
Without answering, Jiang Jiuwei just shook his head, and the tears flowed more and more, leaving them along his fair skin to the hunter's suit, which was already covered with blood.
Xiao Bai became inexplicably agitated, left Jiang Jiuwei's side, paced back and forth, and said almost out of control:
"Jiang Jiuwei! I've only known you for a long time, how can I have such a deep relationship! Why are you crying! Why are you crying!? β
[The number of viewers of the current live broadcast: 18.9w+ (the first in the whole period of the newcomer list)]
"Ahhhhh
"Upstairs you're cold... Your sister Jing, I also want to be martyred. β
"The female goose is so aggrieved..."
"She didn't shed so many tears last time she was in so much pain......"
"One person kills Xiaobai with a bloody book!"
"Don't say it's useless, let's find a way!"
Jiang Jiu didn't think of Xiaobai's performance this way, and vaguely guessed a little bit of her life experience, and had a way to break her defenses in his heart.
Her face was pale, as if the outburst she had just exhausted all her strength, her hands drooped on the bracelet, the corners of her mouth hung a self-deprecating arc, her voice trembled, and she said:
"Xiaobai... I didn't have a father since I was a child......"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai's anxious hand suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked at the man on the cross in front of her with a complicated gaze. Jiang Jiuwei paused, choked up, and then said:
"My mother hated me for being a girl... Say I can't do this and that all day long...... It's as if everything I'm doing is wrong. β
Xiaobai was completely stunned when she heard this, she bit her lip, lowered her head, her eyes were indescribably tangled and guilty, and she seemed to think of some of her past.
Jiang Jiuwei seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and his voice was getting lower and lower:
ββ¦ But I came into this world. The moment I saw you... I knew we were the same kind, the same ......"
Xiao Bai didn't dare to look at Jiang Jiuwei anymore, missed his head, and asked in a low voice:
"Then why didn't you say it before?"
"I'm afraid..."
When Xiaobai heard these three words, her body trembled, and she quickly turned sideways, as if she was afraid that she would find out. Jiang Jiuwei ignored it and continued:
ββ¦ I'm afraid that after I ask you, you tell me that you are different from me...... I'm a person again, and I don't want to be alone......"
[The number of viewers of the current live broadcast: 20.6w+ (the first in the whole period of the newcomer list)]
"It turns out that the ninth sister is so difficult to ......"
"I thought she must be a goddess in reality..."
"The female goose doesn't cry or cry, and the mother hugs."
"Wife, you are not alone, there is me!"
Jiang Jiuwei's voice gradually weakened, and in the end, his words almost became a murmur between his lips and teeth. Xiao Bai saw that she was not in the right state, so he hurriedly stepped forward, held Jiang Jiuwei's shoulder, and asked urgently:
"Jiang Jiuwei? What happened to you!? β
"Don't you like my face?"
Jiang Jiu didn't raise his head, his eyes were half-open, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smileβhe looked particularly sad on his face covered with tears. She continued:
"When I die, you can ask Charlie to help you find witchcraft and change my appearance......"
When Xiaobai heard her say this, he was completely panicked, shook Jiang Jiuwei's shoulder, and said incoherently:
"Don't... No... You can't die... Don't leave me! β
At this time, the door on the side was suddenly pushed open, Fang Fengran rushed in with an anxious face, and when he saw that Jiang Jiu was not locked on the cross, he was angry, and kicked Xiao Bai in front of her with his hand, and scolded:
"Xiaobai, you traitor!"
Xiaobai was kicked to the ground, like a child who had made a mistake, and he was so anxious that he burst into tears, and hurriedly said to Fang Fengran:
"Quick! Save Jiang Jiuwei! Charlie seems to have poisoned her! β
