Chapter 2: The Disappearing Plug-in (II)
"It's going to be a great sacrifice!"
Looking at the huge corpse of the human-faced giant spider, Luo Luo sighed with envy:
"This is a monster that only Qi Delong Dongqiang has successfully hunted alone!"
"Do you like it?" Bai Drift, who was wiping his short sword with weeds with his head down, glanced at him, and then said nonchalantly:
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
"Really~?"
Rollo's face was full of surprise when he asked, and the tone of his voice unconsciously raised a few degrees.
Bai Piao didn't look up, just waved his hand casually, and Luo Luo, who received an affirmative response, immediately rubbed his hands happily, and then walked towards his sacrifice with an excited face.
At this moment, Dongfeng, who had been staring at the corpse of the giant spider in a daze, suddenly brightened his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Bai Piao eagerly, that kind of look was like a hungry tiger in the mountains found a hare grazing, and it was like Luo Luo, who had been paid a military salary, saw the gambling table in the hotel, and he said excitedly:
"My lord, this is a sign!"
Bai Piao knew very well what Dongfeng wanted to say, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop the other party's words, and then refused with some impatience:
"No, no, this is not in line with the teachings of the Holy Religion!"
Dongfeng didn't care about his direct refusal, he was still enthusiastic and high-spirited to Bai Piao and continued to persuade him:
"As you said, sometimes it doesn't matter what means are used, what matters is the final result!"
"I also said that principles and bottom lines are not compromised!"
Bai Piao put away his short sword, looked directly into Dongfeng's eyes, and then said in a righteous and righteous manner:
"We are a serious religion, and we believe in serious gods. ”
"If we want to lead the world to accept the faith of the Holy Religion, we need the perseverance and practice of the missionaries, not on temptation and myth!"
"Selling fear, selling anxiety, deceiving, bribery, intimidation and threats, all these indiscriminate methods are absolutely not allowed by the teachings. Do you understand?"
"But ......"
"That's it!" Dongfeng wanted to persuade again, but Bai Piao didn't plan to give the other party another chance, he continued to say seriously:
"We're running away now, not on a mission, and we don't have time to discuss these ......"
The bad premonition did not disappear with the death of the human-faced giant spider, and Bai Piao vaguely felt that something terrible would happen tonight.
His intuition has always been very accurate, and on the battlefield, this intuition has played an extraordinary role many times.
In fact, Bai Piao is very anxious now, panicking in his heart, at this moment, he is extremely nostalgic for the happy time of hanging in his hand and winning all the way.
However, since he escaped from the capital of the Kingdom of God, along the way, Bai Piao has only existed in legends, and the system plug-in at the level of Xiao Baiwen has been offline, and it has never appeared again, as if it disappeared out of thin air.
Bai Drift, who lost the system plug-in, is like a monster being beaten back to its original form, and it is like a troll being cut off from the network.
In short, how he feels right now in one sentence is that he's uncomfortable.
“...... Now go around and check again, I don't want any other surprises tonight!" Bai Piao, who was still unsteady in his heart, commanded the east wind.
According to common sense, there are such domineering monsters as human-faced giant spiders, and there should be nothing in the vicinity that will threaten their personal safety.
However, the reality is often unreasonable, and that bad premonition has always lingered in Bai Piao's heart, so that he has to be cautious.
Luo Luo was still busy preparing the "sacrifice" of the sacrifice, he ran around the corpse of the human-faced giant spider, first picked up the head that was picked up by Bai Bleach's sword, and then cleaned up the remaining part of the corpse, and then filled in some soil in the place where it was beaten by everyone, trying to make the human-faced giant spider look completely complete from the surface.
At this moment, Dongfeng and Sankong had already gone out to inspect, and Bai Piao also lit a torch through the bonfire, and then turned around and greeted:
"Rollo, it's time to go! later, you'll have time to get close to your sacrifice!"
Rollo, who was forcibly interrupted, was very disappointed, he sighed and stopped what he was doing, then picked up his weapon and went out on patrol with Bai Piao.
After carefully searching his surroundings, Bai Drift found no other dangers. On the side of Dongfeng and Sanbar, I found the crypt where the human-faced giant spider lived, and there were many giant cocoons made of spider silk, and inside the cocoon were the dried corpses of people and animals.
In addition, they found some belongings left behind by the shipwrecked travelers, as well as the only two living creatures left in the crypt* - a wild dog and a girl who looked like six or seven years old.
After being rescued, the wild dog immediately ran away alive, and then disappeared into the depths of the Black Forest in a blink of an eye.
In the face of the remaining "lucky girl", who was also unscathed, Bai Piao felt a little worried.
"Hey, little one, how did you get here?"
Rollo was the first to break the silence and asked the girl.
Next to the campfire, the little girl, wrapped in a cloak with three bars, faced the crowd, and sat silently, without saying a word.
She was born with a delicate round face, fair skin, delicate and lovely, like a porcelain doll, under the night, those black eyes were reflected by the dancing firelight, and the whole person looked more and more lovely. However, in her dark eyes, it was difficult for others to find half of the brilliance, only distraction and dazedness filled in them.
"How did you~come here~?"
Seeing that the girl didn't talk, Rollo raised his voice, and then asked again in her ear.
The girl raised her head mechanically and glanced at Rollo, and then, her gaze swept over the three bars and Dongfeng, and finally fell on Bai Piao's face. When she saw Bai Piao, she paused slightly, and then hung her head silently.
"How did you~come here~?"
This time, Rollo shouted directly at the top of his voice, and at the same time danced with his hands and gestured with "sign language" that he didn't understand what it meant.
In this regard, the girl naturally responded with a look of insensitivity on her face.
So, Rollo showed a look of pity, and then he asserted to everyone firmly:
"This kid is a fool!"
"Enough, Rollo!"
Dongfeng's face was directly angry by Luo Luo's operation, and he couldn't help but interrupt the other party:
"Aren't you going to worship the god of war? ”
Hearing Dongfeng's words, Rollo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then ran off to continue his sacrifice with a happy face.
After placing the body of the giant spider, Luo Luo knelt directly on the ground, then spread his hands flat, raised them to his chest, he raised his head, and prayed solemnly to the vast starry sky:
"O great god of war!"
"I'm Rollo Fun of Lang Liglang. ”
"Today, I offer this legendary monster as your sacrifice. ”
"Bless me and my companions, and give us peace on our journey in the days to come. ”
At the same time that Luo Luo finished the sacrifice, the three bars also finished accounting for the goods harvested tonight, he followed the east wind to Bai Piao's side, and then handed over the money bag, and reported to Bai Piao:
"My lord, these things add up to almost seventeen shields. ”
Hearing this, Bai Piao nodded, indicating that he knew, but he did not reach out to take the bag, but said to the three bars:
"I'll leave it there with you!"
So, the three bars silently took back the money bag and put it away.
"How's that kid?"
Bai Piao turned his head and asked Dongfeng again.
Dongfeng shook his head, and then reluctantly told Bai Piao that he still couldn't ask why. The little girl may have been frightened by the experience of encountering giant spiders, no matter how Dongfeng asked, she always had a blank expression, completely ignoring the existence of others.
Seeing this situation, Bai Piao made up his mind in his heart, and after he hit the road, he encountered a populated village, so he placed the child down, and he turned to Dongfeng and instructed:
"There are still two shifts left tonight, change to a team of two, me and Sanbar are on the first shift, and you and Luo Luo are on the next shift. ”
"Understood!"
Dongfeng nodded, then turned around and left, continuing to rest.
Carrying the javelin and shield he had borrowed from Rollo, Bai Piao resumed his night duty, pacing and spinning around as he began to carry out his daily task - a special "wake-up service" for the "sleeping" golden finger.
"Agua, are you there?"
Because it is a plug-in of his own system, Bai Piao gave this golden finger a nickname, called "Agua".
In response to Bai Piao, there was still silence.
Bai Bleaching was not discouraged, he continued to call persistently:
"Agua!"
"Guagua!"
"Melon!"
"Melon baby!"
......
Calling again and again, Bai Piao was extremely patient, but the increasingly chaotic pace of his feet exposed his unpeaceful inner world.
Sanban looked at Bai Drift, who was pacing around, and knew that the other party was very irritable now, so he didn't come up to disturb the other party like the east wind, but walked to the fire and sat down directly to rest.
By the campfire, the three bars were by the little girl's side, he took out a piece of bread, put it to the girl, and made a "eat" gesture to her, and then said with a kind smile:
"Eat!
The girl looked at the food in her hand dryly, but she didn't make any other movements, she seemed to be very hesitant, not knowing what she should do next, and the whole person looked very confused.
Seeing this, Sangang simply took out another piece of bread and demonstrated it to the other party in person. He tore off a bit of bread, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it in front of the girl, and then he smiled at the girl with a gesture:
"Sweet!
After watching the demonstration of the three bars, the girl curiously held the bread in her hand in front of her, looked left and right, and after carefully examining it, she finally put the bread in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and swallowed it carefully.
After eating the bread, she suddenly recited a sentence in a soft childish voice that made Sanbar feel inexplicable:
"Ding~, Agua has learned to 'eat'!"
The familiar tone sounded again.
However, the direction from which the voice came this time was unexpected by Bai Piao.
His body couldn't help but stiffen, as if he had seen a ghost, and the whole person was directly stunned in place. The sudden change made the expression on his face frightened to the point of hideousness.
Then, like a character in a stop-motion animation, Bai Piao looked over slowly and slowly, looking at the small figure sitting next to the campfire.
After fifteen years, I thought that life could be under my control and became better and better.
Unexpectedly, providence made people, and fate began to deflect in an unpredictable direction again.
On this day, Bai Piao once again recalled the fear of being dominated by an unknown mysterious force.
At the same time, he once again deeply felt the vagaries of the world and the merciless mockery of fate.
