Meal bell nursery rhymes, cobwebs
Not to the point of despair, not to see humanity.
Death is not the end, but Fall is.
Hope is born in ruins, and gods descend in darkness.
......
"First of all, let me make my position clear, as a citizen of the Southern Jade Kingdom, it is my responsibility to stop the other party, but without finding out the specific number of people on the other side, it will only backfire rashly, and I am not sure if they have a back hand, judging by the current situation, the best choice is to participate in this game and gradually find out the purpose and identity of the other party, of course, you don't need to worry too much, I have already informed the Duke of Lando of the news through some means, day and night, the reinforcements of the Southern Jade Kingdom will arrive in three days, but...... The other party must know this. Lan Dumu explained.
Maybe the other party can control the conductor and the conductor, and even kill all the guards, but they absolutely can't control thousands of passengers, and they can't guarantee who will leak the news, usually if the train is delayed, the crew will basically notify the platform in advance, this time interval is about eight hours, after eight hours of delay, if the train has not arrived at the platform, and the crew does not have any notice, it will be defined as an emergency, in other words, Lan Dumu's notice makes the arrival of reinforcements eight hours earlierγ
While that may not sound like much of a difference, for the people on the train, those eight hours could be the difference between life and death.
"Why didn't you say it just now? I've been worried for a long time in vain! Since there are reinforcements, then don't worry, no matter how powerful those gangsters are, can they still defeat the army of Nanyu Kingdom?" Yue Yong patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've already said it so clearly, why don't you still understand the point of what I said?" Lan Dumu shook his head speechlessly.
"Huh?" Yue Yong looked at Lan Dumu blankly.
"What we thought of, the other party must also be able to think of, since we can make the act of hijacking the train, it will definitely not be a whim, and the reinforcements of Nanyu Country must also be within their consideration, so it is too early to relax. The puppet explained.
"Teacher Xiao, look at it, it's so beautiful. β
Butterfly didn't listen at all, she held her chin with both hands, staring blankly at the dreamlike sunset outside the car window, and the excitement when she heard the 50 million deer pattern gold coins gradually calmed down, after that night, the memories of the past returned to her mind bit by bit, as stunned as the past and present life, it should have been the most painful wound, but now it is like a breeze blowing, removing the old scab, and the wound has long been calmed.
β...... Oh, yes. β
Xiao Shu looked in the direction of the butterfly's point, it was the setting sun, the plain was shrouded in a golden silence, the distant mountains were covered with the sunset, and the stratus clouds on the horizon had all turned into fiery red, and in the blink of an eye, it was another day, even a cultivator like him couldn't help but be a little in a trance, this time passed too quickly, and I don't know how long I haven't been able to sit down and rest like now.
Since he came to the Void Spirit Realm, he has not been born a single day, even if he does not count the time he spent in the Autumn Year Zhihai at the beginning, this blink of an eye has passed for almost half a year, and as for what will happen in the next days, even he himself does not know, and all he can do now is to take one step at a time.
"It turns out that your surname is Xiao. Lan Dumu rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Shu thoughtfully.
The name of the outer demon Xiao Shu has already spread all over the world, and it is not surprising that Lan Dumu has heard of the person who is directly and publicly wanted by the Xingyue Council, not to mention that the surname Xiao is not common, Butterfly's momentary gaffe made the atmosphere in the private room suddenly tense, only Xiao Shu noticed the sneer on the corner of the puppet's mouth and the spiritual power gradually gathered around him, if he killed the duke's only son on weekdays, it might be more tricky, but for now, no matter how many people died on the train, it could be pushed to that group of bandits.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, where are your eyes going? pervert!"
I don't know if it's to take revenge on Lan Dumu, or if I really can't get used to his behavior, Yue Yong slapped it suddenly, Lan Dumu tilted his head, and there was a red palm print on his left cheek, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "What are you doing, where did I provoke you?"
"Hmph, Sister Xiao, let me tell you, people like him need to be guarded against the most, even if they can't see anything on the surface, but who knows what they look like in private, you and this sister are so beautiful, you must be careful when you go out, otherwise there may be some duke's son who will arrest you all." Yue Yong said and tightened Xiao Shu's somewhat loose collar, and glared at Lan Dumu again.
"I see? Xiao Shu also sat back very cooperatively, as far away from Lan Dumu as possible.
"What do you understand!?"
Lan Du Mu didn't know what to say for a while, but after Yue Yong's interruption, he lost interest in continuing to ask, and when he saw that the atmosphere had eased, he immediately changed the topic and said, "Don't mess around at this time, Young Master Mu, I believe you also understand how bad the situation will be in the next three days." β
"Can I be blamed for this? Forget it...... You're right, but for now all we can do is wait until the prompt comes out of that person's mouth, and the other party has revealed so little information that I can't tell what they want to do, and I don't know exactly how they plan to weed out more than half of them. Lan Dumu no longer paid attention to Yue Yong's provocative eyes, he closed his eyes, and his index finger kept tapping on the table.
Lan Dumu is not just a runaway eccentric, it is undeniable that he did let his father be burdened with scandals and embarrassed the family, but he is also a genius that the family is proud of, and this genius does not refer to spiritual talent, but to his mind.
He is proficient in chess, performance, medicine, philosophy, law, astronomy and politics, and is very good at strategy, likes to think and deduce, and has a memory that ordinary people can not imagine, but he has no talent and interest in Lingdao, and was only forced to practice Lingwu for three months at the request of his family, of course, the result is also conceivable, Duke Landau once again compromised with his only son.
He had been hailed as a person who was almost perfect except for his personality, and so far, there had been nothing in Nan Yuguo that even he couldn't solve.
The puppet's afterglow kept wandering between Lan Dumu and Yue Yong, and now what he really needed to be wary of was not the group of carjacking bandits, but the two people in front of him, why didn't these two people go to other private rooms and find here?
Coincidence is the most unbelievable thing in this world, and for a moment, he even planned to kill these two people directly, but after all, he still pressed this idea, maybe he was conceited, he wanted to see what was hidden behind this game.
As the minutes ticked by, everything outside the car window was completely engulfed in darkness.
Tick...... Tick......
Yue Yong and Die had already gone to the bed in the private room to rest, the puppet and Lan Dumu occasionally exchanged a few words, but they still had no clue, Xiao Shu had been in a state of meditation with his eyes closed, as early as half an hour ago, he sank into the sea of knowledge and asked Su to ask for the Jiuyang sword technique.
When the wall clock on the wall pointed to eight o'clock, a crisp meal bell rang from outside the private room. At first, he didn't realize it, but after about ten seconds, the meal bell stopped, and the puppet and Lan Du Mu changed their faces at the same time, even Xiao Shu noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, but after thinking for a while, he also found the problem, this meal bell was different from the previous one, it used to be a slow but continuous ringing, but the bell was rapid and intermittent, not so much a meal bell, but more like a warning bell.
"Two, I should have heard you right, three, four, three, five, seven?" Lan Dumu asked tentatively.
"Is there something wrong?" Although Xiao Shu also sensed the problem, he didn't know what these five numbers meant.
"Three, four, three, five, seven, if it were anything else, maybe I could still consider it an accident or coincidence, but only these five numbers are not good, it does not represent the meal time, but the date when King Roland strangled the five saints, there is such a nursery rhyme in historical records......"
Five Saints went out to preach.
The sun shines on Wednesday, and there are still four left to die of heat.
Thursday was rainy and rainy, one drowned and three remained.
In the blink of an eye, another week was passed, and only three of the five saints remained, and they walked together in trepidation.
On Wednesday, the wind was sudden, one was blown away and there were two left, and the two couldn't pull it.
Frost and snow fell on Friday, and only one froze to death, and it was still cold to light a fire to keep warm.
In the blink of an eye, it was another week, and I was frightened and couldn't see anyone, and I was so lonely when I lived alone.
On Sunday prayer day, he prayed to the gods but went to hell, and there was not a single one of the five saints left.
The puppet told this nursery rhyme, Lan Dumu's eyes were surprised with appreciation, and he exclaimed, "Even you know this nursery rhyme, although the history of the Roland country is not very far away, but after all, it is only a remote and small country, and there is no detailed description of it in the historical materials, only a few books about the strange news are recorded, I didn't think you also dabbled in these things, I always thought that women were not interested in history at all." β
"I am also amazed by your inherent bias against women. The puppet still doesn't buy it, from a woman's point of view, she will never have a good impression of Lan Dumu, after all, for acting, substituting for a role is the most important part.
"The question now is what exactly do these five numbers mean? I don't know much about the history of Roland in your mouth, but if I'm not mistaken, this should be a hint from the other party, right?" Xiao Shu stopped the trend of further quarrels between the two in time.
