Chapter 12: The Innocent Mermaid A young man who visits late at night
The innocent mermaid (3) A young man who visits late at night
The night is dark, and everything is silent. In a town where fear spreads, there is a bit of gloom and panic in the silence. The cute red-roofed cottage on the street, the corridor lamp that was once reserved for passers-by, and the warm night light for reading by the bedside in the house, went out early. The darkness that needed to be dispelled was now used as the last hideout, deceiving ourselves to tell those fears not to knock on the door, and we are not here at this time.
The only inn in town, where some rare guests were resting, these big men fell asleep on the comfortable and soft beds. And the side window in the deepest part of the corridor on the second floor, the gap that opened and closed slightly at this time was pulled wider by a white hand stretched out in the night. The cold wind of the night poured into the hula sound.
"Isn't this one a little smaller? Otherwise, let's change it. A cold voice sounded by the window, startling a shiver stretched out in the night
The owner of the voice, who was at this time comfortable, leaned back against the columns of the corridor at the interval along the corridor, and sat firmly on the edge of the corridor with his buttocks, and he gently shook the crystal glass in his hand, not at all surprised that the window was opened, but the person who coldly admonished him was the Sun Shadow.
"Are you so sure I'm coming?" After a shudder, the owner of the hand put his head into the window, it was Kevin, who tilted his head and asked hesitantly.
After saying that, Kai's curled up body actually got in soft and flexible, he patted the floating dust on his body, and carefully closed the small window again.
"You're smart. Sunshadow nodded, raising her hand and taking a graceful sip of the liquid from the glass.
Smart people will always make more choices and will always try to steer things in their direction. Just because they are smart people, they should be so.
"You do have a little bit of a difference. And the gap between you and the other mercenaries seems to be even bigger. Kevin seemed to slowly let go of his hesitation, and he walked a short distance to Sunshadow, and also leaned against the upper corridor and said.
"How?" Hikage tilted his head slightly, a little puzzled as to where he came from.
"Those big men don't drink milk, and it's hot. Kevin raised an eyebrow, squinting at the mist curling in the glass in Sunshadow's hand. "You're no different from my siblings. ”
"I haven't heard that mercenaries still need to have rules on what to drink. Sunkage drank the milk in her hand in one gulp. "Besides, your brothers and sisters are asleep, and I have to wait here for their brother. Sunshadow jumped down the atrium from the edge of the porch, light as a swallow, and slowly walked towards the bar, continuing. "So am I going to treat their brother here for a glass of wine that looks like a mercenary?"
Kevin looked at the person in front of him, jumped down suddenly, exclaimed before he could exit, and immediately looked sideways into the atrium, and saw Sunshadow, who was strolling to the bar unharmed, blinking his eyes and laughing at his behavior. How could he have forgotten? The young man standing in front of him, who seemed to be as harmless as his younger brothers and sisters, was actually a member of the famous mercenary group of the Purple Kite Empire, and even more so, the real center of this group of people, the people who lived on the tip of the knife licking blood, and the existence that was very different from ordinary people like him.
"We don't really have a better choice. But we are afraid that if you are deceived, you will also walk away, and you will be defeated by those wicked people. Kevin stepped down, took the glass from the Hikage, and sat down by the fireplace with the Hikage, listening to the creaking of the wood, as if trying to calm the fear and cowardice in his voice.
"First of all, is it true that the girl is missing?" Sunshadow's calm voice seemed to have a calming effect, which made Kevin's uneasiness a little less. He didn't reproach or ask any other questions, he just asked calmly.
Kevin nodded hurriedly. "Of course, there are really girls missing in our town. It's true. ”
Sunshadow nodded. As long as this is true. So what problems they can't face? Aren't the rough guys upstairs who are sleeping for this?
"But you know who the murderer is. "Not a question, but a description of the affirmative. Since the source is not fake, what is concealed may be the source of a deeper fear.
Kevin nodded fearfully, but shook his head uncertainly. He continued with Sunshadow's quizzing eyes. "We're just guessing because we're afraid of them. Don't dare to ask, dare not listen, dare not manage, not only afraid of death, but even more afraid of desperate separation. And now my sister is in their hands. Kevin's eyes were not only filled with fear, but also with a flash of anger.
Fear of power and power is an instinct for survival. But the survival instinct also tells people how far away and how close death is under the shadows. Some of them were keenly aware of the urgency of the revolt, while others were still drowning in fear, still ostriches.
Jungle.
The ancient cypress climbs up, stands upright, the branches and leaves are verdant, the branches are close to each other, and cleverly leave enough space to watch the growth, the breeze shuttles here, with the green bitterness of the cypress leaves, quiet and mysterious. The sunlight shines through the cracks, speckled on the black fresh earth, warm and quiet.
But at this time, the three young people in the forest did not have such an idle mood. With their excellent eyesight, they were observing the extremely striking building beyond the dense forest. The building was huge, with white spires reaching into the sky, and these towering trees that grew freely, under its oppression, were like thorns and mud, outside its sphere of influence, helping it to enclose a wall that no one could enter.
"Brother Shadow. Shall we go in?" Mi Jian asked cautiously as he stood behind the Hikage, looking at his back, which was several times thinner than his burly and huge body. Both he and Micah had a vague sense of an unusual atmosphere. The same silence, the difference is that in the past, because of the calm and restrained silence, there was a faint hint of suppressed anger. They had never seen a shadow like this before.
Those ugly conspiracies, those indelible memories, and those bitter hatreds are like a shackle, locking life and destiny, but they cannot be reversed or spoken.
Calm introduction, happy resistance. This truth is already clear on the night when this young man accepted the arrangement of fate. He squinted his eyes at the abominable spire, clenched his fists, tightened, and released. Nodding his head, he said calmly. "Go in, but it's not the time yet. ”
It was as if it had changed back to its original shadow of the sun. Mi Jian was a little confused, he picked his head, a little unable to hold whether he should ask what happened to the Sun Shadow, or what his plans were next. As for Sun Shadow, he and Miga always felt that he was the same as Boss Peng, and Ning Ren was unpredictable.
"The head deacon of the Correctional Church, Adore, Kevin said that he would go out every day at this time or so. When he comes out, you and Miga will follow and have a look, and I'll go into the Jiaohua Hall to check it out. Sun Shadow didn't ask Mi Jian a question, and said directly. "If he returns, the sentry will be the trumpet, and we will meet again here. ”
Mi Jian and Miga nodded. Then Miga said with a little complaint. "It's not like there's no fight. If I had known this, I should have changed with Mott and them, and when I went to the barracks, I would definitely be able to fight with people who were as reckless as me. ”
"You still know that you yourself are a reckless man!" Mi Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes, looking at this brother who had the same face as him, but didn't know why he looked at a brother who was stupider than him.
"There's Luo. Sunshadow shook her head.
"Oh. With Robert's guy here, if you fight a ghost, you can only fight the autumn wind. Miga ignored Mi Jian's white eyes, and only nodded in agreement, agreeing with what Sunkage said.
"Mott is familiar with the situation in the barracks, right?" Talking about the whereabouts, Sunshadow suddenly remembered the situation of the grouping in the morning, Kevin's late-night visit, after revealing some details, guided some directions. In the morning, when discussing with Robert to divide the forces that Kevin and the mayor of the town suspected, they talked about the army and the indoctrination, and for the situation of these systems and systems with the army, Sun Ying naturally did not have as much experience and understanding as Robert, who had been the biggest secretary for Boss Peng for a long time, so he naturally took the lead, and when Mott and Melson heard about it, they naturally got up directly, and followed directly without waiting for the group. Melson seemed to be well aware of the decision Mott would make, and naturally followed. Mott, on the other hand, had a certain familiarity and attachment to the military. At this time, the sun shadow suddenly became interested, and then remembered to ask.
"Yes. There's no one more familiar with Mott, who was originally ......"
Mi Jian's voice was stopped by a gesture from Sunshadow. At the door of the indoctrination hall in front of him, a black figure appeared, walking steadily and quickly from the inside and out.
"Looks like Mott himself will have to tell you. Miga and I went first. Brother Ying beware of himself. After Mi Jian finished speaking, he nodded to the shadow with Miga, and walked away silently in the direction of the night's departure.
After the Sun Shadow saw them off, his steps were light, and his body quickly walked towards the Sect of Enlightenment.
At this time, at the other end of the town, less than 5 kilometers southeast of the town, was the center of another power of the town, and at this time, in front of their door, stood three men with great momentum and different temperaments.
"Did you just tear it down, or did you just reveal your identity?" Mott asked Robert.
"There's no hurry. Robert waved his hand, "Isn't there still Melson?" The two looked at Melson, who looked innocently.
Brother Shadow, I should go with you. Melson shouted in his heart. The two people in front of them interrupted and used him naked without asking his opinion at all. Although in the current situation, he didn't want to mention Mott's previous identity, Robert showed it and directly pulled out Boss Peng, only his identity may be the most suitable. He rolled his eyes, but did not refute, but decisively clasped the black metal texture, very unadorned, simple and rugged door.
"Who are you?"
The door had not yet opened, but there was a sudden stern questioning voice behind several people. Melson and the others turned around and looked back. An officer with a slim blue-black stand-up collar and white epaulettes, with a delicate badge on his neckline, shining golden in the sun, stood behind them at some point.
"Isn't this Mott? Why are you here? Before Robert could reply, the handsome and burly officer, having recognized the acquaintance, strode towards them.
There was some confusion in Mott's eyes, but as the man got closer, it gradually became clear. "It's you. He also strode forward. was about to shake hands and high-five or something, the other party came to a bear hug very proudly, patting Mott's back with a big hand, and he was very enthusiastic.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, why are you here? This is not the place you should be. Before Mott could introduce him, the enthusiastic officer said unceremoniously and directly.
This polite remark drove people away before it was hot, it seems that this place is really greasy. Robert exchanged a look with Melson.
Maybe they're worth it.
