The old man turned his head, but he didn't see anyone clearly, only vaguely saw a black phantom coming from the direction of the door, and the next moment he felt the left side of his face tingle, and then his gaze was raised with the body that flew out. It was also at this time that he saw that the person who came was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. When he was kicked out three or four meters away, the girl was still holding her right leg and didn't put it down, and the old man immediately understood, it was obvious that it was this girl who kicked him out in the last second.

The old man's back was tightly attached to the wall, and it lasted for a while, as if it was glued to it, until the slippers of his left foot not far in front of him turned around in mid-air and fell to the ground, he slowly slipped to the ground against the wall, and the moment the whole person landed, he first heard the sound of the facial bones "clicking", and then felt a sharp pain that he had never experienced, I don't know if it was an illusion, he could vaguely smell the smell of leather boots. All the feelings only returned to the old man after he landed, just like Roland's kick, so that the old man's soul could not catch up with his body.

The old man screamed miserably, his voice was far more hoarse than Fang Xiaoling's shouting of "help" just now, but no matter how violently he screamed, even if the soundproof door had been opened, there was still not a single family in the entire corridor that opened the door to check.

Fang Xiaoling was still unable to extricate herself from the shock just now and the shock at this time, she didn't even notice that Roland had bent down, put the shotgun on the ground beside her, and carefully pulled out the needle inserted in Fang Xiaoling's ankle.

The old man was already in pain and couldn't speak, but when he saw Roland, who was speechless, was tightening the connection between the needle and the syringe, he began to have an ominous premonition, so he endured the severe pain and spoke, trying to make things as good as possible, "High school students who can use guns, it seems that I underestimated your identity, sorry." ”

Roland didn't speak, she just took the syringe, slowly stood up, and walked in the direction of the old man, her eyes were flat, without any anger and murderous intent, like a housewife who wanted to put the kitchen knife back in the kitchen knife holder, usually, and often.

"I'm telling you, I'm a member of the Tower! It's protected by an aura, if you dare to touch me, you ......" Before the old man could finish his words, the needle pierced the skin of his throat and penetrated his vocal cords.

Roland pushed the piston handle of the syringe steadily, as she breathed steadily, "Whatever you want to do to her, give it back to you." ”

Fang Xiaoling stared blankly at everything that happened, almost forgetting her existence, when Roland turned to face her, the whole world did not exist, only Roland, and the sound of Roland's leather boots stepping on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Roland's cordial greetings completely crushed Fang Xiaoling's nerves, like a spread of holy water that could melt everything poured into her heart.

"Sister!" Fang Xiaoling hugged Roland who came to her suddenly, buried her head in her arms, and then began to cry.

And Roland, gently patting Fang Xiaoling's head, kept repeating softly in his mouth, "It's okay, it's okay...... it's like a loving mother crying after being frightened.

Fang Xiaoling didn't want to stay here any longer, she tried to stand up, but her legs were sore and weak, not controlled by her at all, even though Roland had helped her eliminate all the dangers around her, she was still in the whirlpool of fear and couldn't extricate herself.

Fang Xiaoling used to love watching movies, and in her cognition, she always thought that she was as strong and brave as the heroines of most inspirational dramas, and she would definitely deal with danger rationally, at least she would not be intimidated by unwarranted fear, but reality gave her a mirror and made her recognize her mediocre and ordinary self.

Just when she was thinking about this, Roland had already squatted down with her back to her and put Fang Xiaoling's arms on her shoulders, "It's okay, the first time I encountered danger, I was so scared that I couldn't even shout for help, you are already great." ”

At this time, in the empty and dim room, there were still more than a dozen puppets that were swaying slightly, but Fang Xiaoling felt warm, she hugged Roland's neck, the nervous uneasiness in her heart suddenly dissipated, sleepiness and exhaustion followed, and the sense of security emanating from Roland made Fang Xiaoling yawn unconsciously.

When Roland was about to walk to the door, Fang Xiaoling couldn't help but glance at the old man sitting paralyzed at the base of the wall, under the flickering faint light, he had completely turned into a humanoid puppet.

"Hey-" Fang Xiaoling couldn't help but sigh, and closed her eyes gently, she didn't pity the old man who deserved it, she just sighed that behind the invention of this drug, how many human evil and distorted desires were hidden, she asked weakly, "Roland, when people become rich, will they become inhumane?" ”

"Inhuman guys have existed since ancient times, and it has nothing to do with the amount of money." Roland carried her home and gently placed her on the couch again, "You can rest here first." ”

"Where are you going?" Fang Xiaoling asked nervously, she didn't want Roland to leave her at this time.

"Pour you a glass of water." Roland touched her head, "Don't worry, I won't leave your sight." ”

Fang Xiaoling was silent, and it wasn't until the cup with warm water was brought to her that she asked softly, "Roland, after this crossing, when we all go back, what are your plans?" ”

Roland didn't expect Fang Xiaoling to suddenly ask this, she put the cup in Fang Xiaoling's hand, "Of course, continue to look for a way to break the curse." ”

Fang Xiaoling began to twist, "I'm not asking about this, I'm asking you what you think in the future." ”

"You mean after the curse is broken? I've really thought about this before, believe it or not, I want to have a relationship, a normal relationship, not to complete a task, or the kind of love that is together because we like each other. ”

Fang Xiaoling was still not satisfied with Roland's answer, she said a little anxiously, "I'm not asking this!" I'm asking you and me, will you be willing to wait for this time to travel over...... Do you understand? ”

Roland's eyes widened more and more, she looked at each other in surprise, and suddenly felt that her face was a little hot, she had lived for tens of thousands of years, she had never seen any scenes, but this time, she couldn't help but be a little shy, "You...... Do you mean that? ”

"Hmm!" Fang Xiaoling put the cup on the coffee table, and suddenly grabbed Roland's hands, her eyes were shining brightly, "Are you willing?" Be my sister forever? ”

"Huh?" Only then did Roland understand what Fang Xiaoling meant, and she reacted for a while before stammering and replied, "But ...... It's okay, what, this kind of trivial matter, why are you doing so tense atmosphere? ”

Without waiting for Fang Xiaoling to speak, Roland quickly changed the topic, "By the way, don't you want to know what that old man meant by the tower?" In fact, it's a tower organization, only ......"

Before Luo Lan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Fang Xiaoling, "I don't want to know those things, it's nothing more than some conspiracy made by rich people to exclude ordinary people." ”

Roland was a little surprised, Fang Xiaoling's stupid head actually guessed eight or nine in this matter.

Fang Xiaoling continued, "I've seen a lot of that kind of thing in movies, love is as it is, I don't want to get involved in those things, in contrast, I want to know more about my sister's things, I don't know why, I feel that sister, you are getting more and more kind." ”

"Why, don't say that nasty again!" Roland felt goosebumps all over her body, and she quickly thought about if there was anything else she could do to change the subject, "That's right! Do you know how I found you? ”

Fang Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't had time to think about this matter yet, now that she thought about it, it was true that the door of the old man's house should be soundproof, so how did my sister find her?

Fang Xiaoling blinked, "Could it be that there is a soul between our sisters?" ”

"Shut up." Roland hurriedly interrupted Fang Xiaoling and said helplessly, "The diamond ring I threw you is actually a miniature locator, originally to allow you to reach the school safely just in case, but I didn't expect your movement trajectory to be so strange, I came back after entering the elevator, and I didn't knock on the door for a long time, I began to realize that something was wrong." ”

"Wow, it turns out that my sister already cared about me at that time, afraid that I would have an accident, sister, you are so good!" Fang Xiaoling's pupils seemed to be pasted with a flashing five-pointed star, and she said adoringly, "Having said that, my sister is so handsome, I will never forget that domineering sweep, as well as that cold back, calm and calm expression in crisis, and ......."

"Please be normal." Roland glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's already noon, it seems that a lot of time has been delayed, I'm going to complete the task now, do you want to go with me, or do you want to go back to school?" ”

"Let's go!" Fang Xiaoling sat up from the sofa with a spirit, as if she was afraid that Roland would leave her, "Sister, can you call me sister in the future?" I think that's a more affectionate title. ”

Roland didn't answer, just thought in his heart, it seemed that the old man had frightened Fang Xiaoling a lot, but there were some things that had to be said, and he didn't care about her mental state.

"Xiaoling, I have to tell you something." Roland closed the door and said with a serious expression, "This time, I must be faster than you to complete the task, so the next task about you needs to be completed by you alone." ”

"Huh? Alone? Fang Xiaoling's heart was half cold, "Sister, are you going to abandon me?" ”

"It's not that I'm going to abandon you, you're a freshman in high school, right? In other words, you may have to find opportunities to contact him more in school life to be able to complete the task, which is not a matter of one or two days. Roland walked without looking back, as if he had already made a decision, "I can't wait for you in this world with this child's body, right?" If I don't hurry, if my mission target likes someone else, it will increase the difficulty of the mission. Besides, if I finish the task and go back first, I can also take a look at the situation of your real body and the changes around you, and maybe I can find any clues. ”

Fang Xiaoling made a summary of Roland's words in her heart, that is, "I want to abandon you and go back first." ”

Even last night, Roland's words were not enough to hit her, but now, after just a few hours of getting along, these words made Fang Xiaoling feel very sad, "But in that case, isn't it equivalent to being left in this world by myself?" ”

Roland was silent for a long time, and resolutely pressed the door button of the elevator, "You are not wrong to say so. ”
