Kingdom’s Bloodline Chapter 198: Happy heart
Chapter 694 Heartbroken
【When the test comes, the devil will whisper, and the evil will whisper, in a language we cannot understand. 】
What, what's the matter?
White smoke filled the air, Thales looked at Xilai in front of him in confusion, the girl held his face, opened and closed her lips anxiously, but couldn't make a sound.
How, how...
The next moment, Thales got goose bumps from the cold touch on his neck!
By the way, I, I just managed to yell?
Maybe it also brought disaster.
Thales stared at the strange white smoke in front of him, feeling the existence behind him, soberness and reason gradually returned to his brain.
"You, who are you?" He touched the dagger and asked the people behind him vigilantly.
Or, what are you?
Seeing this, Xi Lai became more frightened and shook her head desperately.
The existence behind gently caressed his neck, and his voice became sweeter and gentler: "That's not important."
Thales was shocked.
Strange.
This voice is...
No, it's not possible.
"The really important thing is, who are you, Thales?"
Thales turned around subconsciously, and grabbed the wrist of the person behind him!
He froze immediately.
It was a blonde girl with beautiful features and wearing glasses.
She stared blankly at the wrist held by Thales, a little panicked.
Is it her?
Thales couldn't believe it.
Who is she—— Xi Lai also looked at the girl in front of her in surprise, she couldn't make a sound, but her mouth was clear.
Thales ignored Xi Lai, he subconsciously let go of Xi Lai's wrist.
It's Selma.
Selma Walton.
Little slick?
Thales looked at Thelma in surprise.
Exactly the same as her expression, demeanor, movements, including the habit of curling her lips when she parted.
It's just that the figure is taller, the facial features are more beautiful, and the eyes looking at Thales are more...
"No, it's impossible, it must be...why, how did you do it..." Thales stepped back subconsciously, and was supported by Xi Lai.
But Thelma sighed weakly:
"Thales, do you remember everything you taught me?"
Her steps were sloppy and her eyes were blurred, just like Longxiao City back then when she was fleeing for her life with him.
"No," Thales frowned and shook his head, "Stop, you are not her, you are, I know what you are..."
"Lie!"
Thelma grabbed his wrist!
The Grand Duchess of Dragon Clouds City has burning eyes: "You have no idea what I am, what I should be, or what I am in your heart..."
No.
It's just a trick.
It's just a trick.
This does not exist at all...
Thales panicked inexplicably. He pulled his wrist back desperately, just wanting to stay away from Selma in front of him.
Healy wanted to rush forward to help, but in reality there seemed to be a transparent wall separating her from Thales and Selma.
Even if she fought desperately, she couldn't get close to the two of them.
"You just lied, Thales, you lied to me, just like back then! You told me everything would be fine, you told me I would have my own choices, you told me I wanted to go You will be able to go, but you are lying! You are lying! Use a lie that we all know!"
Selma clenched her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.
Thales was flustered, his chest was heavy, and he tried hard to break free from the opponent's hand.
No!
This is all fake! Fake!
Even if the real Thelma came, she wouldn't be like this...
"And I believe in you!"
Selma dragged his wrist tightly, she bent down and cried out in pain:
"Because you know, you know that I will believe it! So you feel guilty and thankful, because you know that as long as it is you, as long as it is what Thales said, I will believe it no matter what! Even if I know it is a lie , I will believe it too! Because I only want to believe what you say!"
At that moment, Thales only felt that there was something in his heart, and he was hit hard by a heavy hammer.
He bowed his head deeply.
Si Lai was a foot away from them, beating the void frantically, she was anxious and shouting something desperately.
But Thales couldn't hear it.
In the distance, a bunch of torches flickered dimly in the white smoke, flickering on and off.
"Why, Thales, why? Why are you so kind to me?" Selma was tired from crying, she spoke hoarsely, and sadly touched the dagger in Thales' hand, pointing the tip at her heart , "Treat me so bad again? Why don't you let me go, and don't you want to hold me tight?"
The next second, Thales took a deep breath and raised his head suddenly!
With a clang, JC's dagger fell to the ground.
In Thales' hand, the torch in the distance replaced the dagger, and he pushed forward forcefully!
"No, ah ah ah!" Thelma screamed in pain in the sudden flames.
Fire manifests itself.
Thales trembled, trying not to care about the hot tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
"No, Thales! Why? Why ahhh!" The face of the Grand Duchess was curled and deformed by the flames.
Disillusionment in front of God...
Thales bit his lower lip tightly, unable to bear to look at her.
The screaming died away.
"You said it, you said you would do something, Thales." A new voice came.
Thales was startled and turned around.
I do not know when, Selma disappeared.
Standing in front of him was a four or five-year-old girl who was dirty all over, like a little beggar.
On the girl's face, a burn scar in the shape of a coin was clearly visible.
That's... Kolia?
"We, we all look forward to your coming, Thales," the youngest beggar in the sixth room said innocently, his tone full of innocent and earnest hope, "I look forward to your coming to save us, I believe you There must be a way! You always have a way!"
Thales trembled in his heart, subconsciously took half a step back.
No.
Why?
"But you didn't come," Kelia's tone sank, her expression became dull, lost, lifeless, "You didn't come to save us, you didn't show up, Thales."
"Not until death."
Not until death.
Thales' figure flickered.
He stared blankly at Kolia, who had dark eyes, and the burn scar on her face:
"I... no, I just... I..."
I...
Sorry.
White smoke rose, and the torch in his hand went out with a snap.
On the other side, Xi Lai, who was a foot away, was beating and tearing the air frantically, doing "no" gestures and mouth shapes with all his strength, trying to attract Thales' attention.
"It's okay, I know, Thales, I know how it feels..."
Thales raised his head in confusion.
In front of her eyes, Thelma, with red eyes, sniffed and tried her best to show a comforting smile.
"But like you said, we have to remember, remember this fear of being at the mercy of others and not being able to make your own choices, right?"
Thelma took off her glasses and stretched her arms forward, but the latter didn't respond, letting the girl wrap her arms around his neck.
At the mercy of others, unable to make a choice...
"No." Thales said in a daze.
"You and I, we both hate this feeling," Thelma looked at him tenderly, her eyes were like water, "This kind of disgust even exceeds the fear we feel."
"To be free from this fear, to be free to choose one day, we will and must be strong."
Thales was trembling all over, and he couldn't help the tears streaming from his eyes.
"No matter who you want to be, there is no need to be afraid."
He hugged Thelma tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, as if it would take a lot of weight off him.
"And you know what I'm talking about, Thales, you know."
Thelma leaned into his ear and said softly, "No matter who you want to be."
"No matter who you become."
"Be the one...to reverse all this misfortune."
Thales' eyes were distracted.
Reverse all these misfortunes...
He clenched his left fist subconsciously, and touched the scar on his left palm with his fingers.
As long as...
Just swipe lightly...
Reverse misfortune.
"That's enough!"
The next second, Thales felt his arms lighten, he lost his balance and fell to his knees!
"You! Stay away from him!" Hilley's hysterical voice came from a distance.
The surrounding white smoke instantly faded away.
Thales fell to the ground with both hands, only to feel that his brain was empty, and the feeling of being in a daze just now disappeared.
Huh?
He was startled and raised his head suddenly!
Shirley stood five paces away from him, clutching the sharp JC dagger against her own throat.
Blood flows from between the skin and falls down the JC.
Tick tock.
She is...
"Oh, he is so important?"
Thales was startled, and quickly stood up - the cold-faced Grand Duchess of Longxiao City stood beside him, looking disdainfully at Xi Lai, who was facing her with a sharp blade to her throat.
"I'm not joking! Back off!" The eldest lady of the Emerald City was full of anger, she was short of breath and dripping with sweat.
Thales was startled, Selma's eyes turned cold, and the two took a step back in unison.
"Hilley?"
Thales stared nervously at the dagger on Xi Lai's neck: "Why... what is that..."
He remembered something, subconsciously picked up the torch on the ground, and wanted to relight it.
"The 'Fire Appearance' is a rumor, Your Highness," Thelma said lazily, as if she knew what Thales was going to do. A small part of it is useful, but for more guys, fire is a friend and closeness.”
Thales frowned.
"As for the 'disillusionment before the gods', well," the Grand Duchess smiled slightly, "at least that's what human beings hope for?"
Thales' heart tightened when he heard it.
"Shut up!"
Heilei roared, and the blood from the neck flowed down the dagger and onto her wrist:
"You, come here—throw that thing away!"
Thales subconsciously threw away the extinguished torch, stood beside Xi Lai, and confronted "Selma" in front of him.
"Who is that?" Thales asked in a low voice with lingering fear.
"Tell me! Who is she?" Hille replied angrily, obviously in a bad mood.
Thales took a deep breath and dared not speak any more.
I saw "Selma" sighing: "Cecilia, you know the price of suicide, right? It's not just death."
Xilai swallowed, the pain in her throat made her expression tense:
"Yes, that's my breach of contract."
Thales looked in surprise.
Heilei did not dare to let go of the dagger in her hand, she gritted her teeth and said to "Selma" in front of her:
"But you, you will lose the bridge and ferry to the world forever! It doesn't matter, right? You just have to wait another few hundred or thousand years, and good luck meeting the next stupid girl with no brains Just do it!"
"Selma" fell silent.
"So, you are willing to pay the price of breaking the contract as a condition, just in exchange for him, him?"
Hilley said in a pooh voice, "None of your business."
"Selma" smiled.
"Then, the contract is concluded, and one day, Cecilia Regina Bella Kevin Dill, you will fulfill the contract..."
Thales' gaze changed.
"Selma" stared sharply at Thales,
"Only for him."
What?
What contract?
"What?"
Thales was not the only one who was surprised, Hilley was also shocked:
"Me? Him? Hey! Monster! This is not a consensus! No, this is not a contract! You can't just..."
In the next instant, "Selma" suddenly appeared in front of Xi Lai, taking advantage of the latter's unpreparedness, he snatched the dagger from her hand!
"Be careful!"
Both of them were startled, Thales was startled, instinctively pulled Xi Lai back, and looked at "Selma" warily.
And "Selma" skillfully turned the JC dagger in his hand, showing a provocative smile.
Oops.
Thales and Hilley looked at each other.
"I...I still have many ways to commit suicide!"
Xilai spoke quickly, she lowered her head and rummaged in her pocket:
"Poison, yes, I have poison, the most terrifying kind... You don't have time..."
"You didn't prepare any poison today," Thelma said lazily, "I'm afraid that you might poison this Highness to death by mistake."
Hilley's rummaging froze.
"Selma"'s smile became more dazzling.
But in the next second, Thales hugged Hilley!
"I, I can kill her!" Thales put the JC dagger on Xi Lai's neck again, acting fiercely.
The eyes of "Selma" changed, she frowned and looked at the missing dagger, thoughtfully.
Xi Lai was taken aback for a moment, then realized:
"Yes, yes! He can kill me! He is amazing!"
Thales shook his dagger and nodded viciously.
Shirley wiped away the nosebleed he had dripped on her in disgust.
Selma's eyes turned cold.
The three of them stared at each other for several seconds, until "Selma" suddenly bent down and burst out laughing:
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
She laughed so happily that she was so happy that she even rolled on the ground happily.
Let Thales and Hille look at each other.
"Oops, just kidding!"
"Selma" finally had enough of laughing, she supported her belly, panted and pointed at Thales:
"Don't worry, dear Cecilia, I won't do anything to him... Look, this kid has been marked: big 'This is the owner, no one else' is written on the forehead Near'!"
Huh?
Thales and Xileqiqi were puzzled, and Thales touched his forehead subconsciously.
"But it makes me wonder who ordered such a shipment."
As soon as "Selma" stopped laughing, she sat on the ground and looked at Thales with interest.
Thales was uncomfortable being stared at by it, and whispered to Xi Lai:
"What do you mean? Mark? Also, can it stop talking like that? At least...at least a different image?"
Hile raised his eyebrows:
"Who is this girl?"
Thales hesitated to speak.
But in the next second, "Selma" seemed to hear what Thales said, and countless white smoke came out of her body!
Both of them were startled, but when the white smoke dissipated, what appeared in front of their eyes was a pitch-black human body.
It is smooth and shiny, with a light body and complete limbs.
Like a "person" covered in thick black oil.
It's just that there are no facial features.
Thales was disgusted when he saw it.
Well, it still looks better.
"Hmm, you must be very valuable, Your Highness, maybe delicious?"
It "looked" at Thales, scratched his arm, and ripples appeared on his smooth and dark body:
"Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me want to take you away and offend the big guy behind that..."
There are more and more ripples on its body, like trembling water.
"Yes, take you, occupy you, torture you, destroy you, and dedicate it all to the king I serve, to the one who gave me favor, the great king with a thousand faces..." And its The speed of speech is also getting faster and faster, and the whole "person" is trembling, holding his head and looking up, making a vibrato:
"Imagine how happy your lord must be!"
Thales had a delicate expression when he heard that the other party wanted to "take away" himself and "dedicate" himself to some thousand-faced monarch.
"Don't worry about it," Hilley whispered, "It's here for a limited time."
But the madness of the dark human body continues:
"...and once your lord is happy and proud, I will have a chance..."
"There is a chance to kill it, torture it, imprison it, destroy it, and become the new king hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Thales frowned:
"Your monarch, that thousand-faced or something, it knows that you have been harboring evil intentions, do you want to kill it and replace it?"
It trembled when it heard the words, and lowered its hands.
Ripples appear on the dark face without facial features:
"Huh? This, it, it, it..."
It seems to be very difficult, the whole person slowly shrinks into a ball, until it stretches its limbs again, bursting into laughter:
"Of course it knows ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhh!"
The pitch-black human body is holding a smooth head, trembling on the sky, like a mechanical doll with a slow clockwork:
"Your Majesty, it has been looking forward to, hoping and longing for a long time ago, hoping that one day, its subordinates will be strong enough to resist it, resist it, destroy it, and even replace it, so that it can be at a higher level. In the greater and more terrifying destruction and destruction, in the scream of pain and the bitterness of failure, can you get the most incomparable enjoyment hahahahahahahahaha..."
It was difficult for Thales to understand the other party's logic, but Hille just shook his head solemnly.
"Like a long time ago, demons instigated human beings to seek the unknown and touch taboos..."
It reached out to Thales tremblingly, and its words were filled with unparalleled joy and madness:
"To break away from faith, to rebel against the gods, to despise order, to loathe self, to pursue excellence, to pursue the magic power beyond all understanding, to become an indigestible disaster in this world, to provoke the devil himself Headache, pain, unprecedented catastrophe, chaos, terror, and joy ah ah ah ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
What?
Thales grasped something from its topsy-turvy and illogical words.
"And they succeeded!"
It danced and screamed wildly in the white smoke:
"When the first magician breaks through the boundary wall, awakens the gods, and shakes the faith! When disasters and disasters fall into hell, killing and destroying, ask the origin! All the monarchs rejoiced in pain and suffering, and enjoyed success in destruction and rebirth: they finally played the self-destructive poems they had been looking forward to since the beginning of their birth, the chaos and disorder that even the supreme gods could not remedy! Heaven, The mortal world and hell, fate begins to turn, towards the end of horror, this boring world finally becomes interesting!"
What?
Thales was stunned.
White smoke is misty, it laughs wildly, and it is as dark as before.
"It's..." Xi Lai frowned.
"Why," Thales said suddenly, "Why did you tell me this?"
Its manic laughter stopped abruptly.
"Oh, my lord, you know why."
The smooth face without facial features turned to Thales, but it made the latter feel like he was being targeted:
"You know."
Thales was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to ask, he saw it flipping into the air!
"Okay, Cecilia," it fell behind them in the mist of white smoke, "for the sake of giving me such a big deal of fun—today is your discount!"
Hilley was surprised:
"Offer? What do you mean? Wait—"
But before she could finish speaking, she saw white smoke escaping, and a figure screamed and fell out of it!
"Ahhhhhh!"
It's Slimani.
Thales' eyes widened.
The Great Defender of Emerald City looked like he had just woken up from a nightmare. He looked sleepily at the white smoke around him: "These are, where is this place?"
The next moment, it——a strange pitch-black figure appeared behind Slimani, and waved at Thales and Hilley.
The two were shocked:
"Manny!"
"Let him go!"
But as soon as the words came out, Thales realized that Slimani couldn't hear his own voice.
Just like what happened to Hilley just now.
The next second, Slimani turned his head, looked at "it", and then sat on the ground paralyzed in fright.
No.
Thales' heart trembled.
He knew that Slimani must have seen something or heard something, just like he did just now.
"No, no, no, you're not real, not real, not real..." Slimani didn't dare to raise his head, and he mumbled tremblingly with his head in his hands.
"You really don't remember, Manny, we agreed, didn't we?"
This time, the voice of "it" sounded faintly, even Thales and Xilai could hear it:
"When you are still living in a short-term rental house with your mother-in-law, you can't make money, you can't pay the rent, you can't even afford a decent dress, you are poor, and you are struggling to get by? When you work day and night, Thinking about it, only wanting to stand out from the crowd?"
Slimani remembered something.
Looking at the thick white smoke in front of him, he opened his eyes wide.
"No..."
"When you questioned me in countless tired afternoons after work and innumerable nights when you came home, enduring tears and pain, unwillingness and discomfort..."
Slimani tightly blocked his ears, with a terrified expression.
It paused for a moment, as if enjoying the other's fear.
"Remember, Manny, we agreed: You are willing to pledge a tribute to me, something that comes naturally, goes silently, does not increase or decrease at all times, and is not noticed at all times. ..."
"No, no, I didn't!" Slimani trembled more and more.
"A thing you have always had, but didn't pay much attention to..."
"No, it's impossible!" Slimani shook his head desperately, excruciatingly painful.
But its words invaded unstoppably:
"One thing is not for everyone, but when others have it and you don't have it, you will live a very happy and happy life, but when you have it and others don't have it, you will live a more painful and uncomfortable curse Things..."
"I don't! I don't have anything—" Slimani closed his eyes.
In the next second, it suddenly made a loud, frightening sound:
"Look-look-it!"
Slimani trembled from fright, opened his eyes instinctively, and felt something in his hand.
The Great Advocate lowered his head in horror.
At that moment, he found that lying in his hands was a twisted and shrunken, black and wrinkled body with a particularly crooked head...
Desiccated baby carcass.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh—"
He was so frightened that he threw away the baby corpse in his hand and screamed in horror.
"Let him go!"
Thales was so anxious that he rushed forward subconsciously, but the white smoke in front of him formed an insurmountable wall, preventing him from moving forward.
"What are these? Can you break them?" Thales desperately smashed the smoke screen in front of him, and asked Xi Lai anxiously.
"I, I don't know," Xi Lai said nervously, "A lot of common sense is not true when the alienation happens, no, don't look over there directly, you will be tricked..."
On the other end of the smoke screen, the twisted baby corpse began to writhe under the white smoke, making a terrifying cry.
"No! No, no, no, no, no! Don't! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—"
Slimani was terrified and tearful, he crawled on the ground disregarding his image, he just wanted to stay away from it.
Thales' eyes were tearing apart.
"Many——"
At the other end of the white smoke, the dry baby corpse twisted and crawled, and the place where the mouth should be opened and closed strangely, making a scream like crying:
"Remember! You mortgaged it to me and your life in exchange for a better life-clothing and food, even in times of calamity! Being the top of the world, life and death are determined by one word!"
The next moment, the baby corpse twitched and raised its head, crying heartbreakingly:
"Isn't it! Skinny Srimani! Useless Srimani! Poor Srimani! Nerdy Srimani! Bad farmer Srimani! Country bumpkin Srimani Poor Srimani! Handyman Srimani! Despicable Srimani! Temporary Srimani! Unable to pay rent Srimani! Stupid Srimani! Bully Srimani Manny! Cowardly Srimani! Clever Srimani! Security officer Srimani! Pen Srimani! Reporting expert Srimani! Eloquent Srimani! A pen in the police department Srimani! The Great Advocate Srimani! The Waterproof Srimani! The Sly Smart Srimani! The Reversal of the Judgment! Rimani! The high and respected Mr. Slimani!"
Every time it called out a title, Slimani on the ground twitched in pain.
"Look at what I have given you over the years—no, it should be that during these years, you have worked hard, struggled upward, and then through my tiny little intermediary, you have exchanged something for this world .”
Its voice became quieter, no longer so sharp, but a little more indifferent.
"No, no, no...no!"
The crawling baby corpse was still some distance away from Slimani, but the latter was lying on the ground surrounded by white smoke. He was terrified, kept screaming, and kicked desperately into the void: "I'm just, just ..."
"But you broke the contract." Its voice suddenly became dry and monotonous, without emotion.
Like business.
"You took it back, not long ago, without permission-according to the contract, it is my property," the baby corpse no longer twitched and crawled, but slowly dissipated and turned into white smoke, "so, I will fulfill the contract and take back the mortgage."
Slimani's struggle became smaller, and he stared blankly at the white smoke in front of him, watching it transform into a smooth figure covered in pitch black.
"With capital, with profit..."
It raised its finger and subtly paused in front of Slimani: "Add a little liquidated damages?"
In just the next second, Srimani seemed to see the most terrible thing in the world. He covered his head and screamed, "No, no, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
"Hey!" Thales frantically knocked on the curtain wall made of white smoke, gnashing his teeth: "Let him go! Demon!"
"Don't look at it!" Xi Lai tugged at his arm with a panicked tone, "Don't!"
But the dark figure ignored them.
"Why, why! Why me!" Slimani screamed, weeping again and again.
It laughed and responded:
"Don't complain, Manny! Because this is a deal, a contract, and fairness, and your example is one of the laws that many fools believe in: Abandon human nature, get rich and live well. Believe in human nature, die a terrible death!"
"Because the gods, or those beings at the back of the world, they want to see your struggle, your struggle, your pain, your tempering, Seeing your twists and turns in your life, I want to see your unexpected ending, I want to see you use everything to prove your worth, just like watching a performance or reading a novel—just like us!"
"The price is that, including you, all mortals in this world will live forever, trapped in torture, and cannot be freed! You have to watch them every time, laughing and cursing, as an admired actor, repeatedly Repeat that pathetic, stupid and ridiculous life ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Its laughter is unbridled and exuberant.
Slimani's screams began to weaken.
"What's more, compared to your landlord and boss..." It chuckled and lowered its fingers, "You are much more fun."
Slimani's screams finally disappeared.
He rolled his eyes and fell limply to the ground.
The next moment, Thales only felt that there was nothing in front of him, and the wall made up of smoke screens suddenly disappeared.
"What did you do to him?" Thales rushed to Slimani and roared angrily.
It turned around and spread its hands innocently:
"Don't worry, he's alive, and he didn't pledge his life to me."
Thales felt relaxed when he detected Slimani's breath, but when he saw the monster in front of him, his nerves tensed again:
"What the **** are you!"
"Evil," Hilley murmured, coming up behind him, "it's evil."
"Where is it! I'm not evil at all!"
It giggled when it heard the words, and ripples appeared on its smooth black face:
"Compared to the most terrifying, evil and terrifying existence in this world, compared to the great magic that it has invented and perfected over thousands of years, compared to the magic that can distort every ordinary person. Compared with its genius concept and grand conception of transforming extreme evil into mediocre evil, compared with its ability to make everyone willing and even proud to persevere The melody of turning evil into good... tsk tsk tsk, my kindness, purity, magnanimity and justice are even worthy of Luo Sophia waking up to write a book and engrave a monument to commemorate..."
"And I wish you defeat it, Your Highness," it tilted its head, with a playful tone, "become—the evil of evil, the evil of evil."
Thales frowned.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
But it just smiled, and the whole body began to crack and dissipate...
"Get out," said Xi Lai as if waking up from a dream, she grabbed a rock and smashed it hard:
"Go away!"
"Don't tell me, little Liuzhi, you are my high-quality customer! As for this highness whose future is unknown, hehe, please remember my name, so that we can do business in the future..."
Thales frowned.
"On the side of the prison river, hospitality," its laughter pierced through the smoke, "I have borrowed and returned, Soulbone Jacques!"
Spirit bone, Jacques?
Thales was startled, and looked back at Hille.
But the latter just shook his head.
"Okay, before I go home, I have to go to the suburbs to find a client," its voice came through the white smoke, "A bereaved girl has lost her trial for many years, and her grievances cannot be resolved, so she can only pray all day long The blind old widow, who has retribution for the enemies, is still waiting for me to fulfill the contract and report the letter—maybe, charge a little more agency fee?"
Thales remembered something and looked at Slimani in his arms.
"And she may believe again: Justice may be late, but never absent hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
In the seemingly endless laughter, the surrounding white smoke gradually dissipated.
The last laugh echoed in the thin white smoke:
"The sun and the moon are pitch black, and a cup of prison river blood, I am an ogre, and I am happy for you!"
Finally, the white smoke covering the sight completely dissipated.
Only Yu Thales knelt on the ground, together with Xi Lai, supporting the unconscious Slimani.
"Your Highness, why did you stop?"
Thales turned back with a trembling, and found Glover standing in front of him, and behind him was Rolf who was equally puzzled.
They are in a cold alleyway.
Occasionally passers-by pass by and cast their eyes on this team curiously.
Glorver looked at him puzzled, as if nothing happened just now.
It seems that for a second, they were still walking on the road.
But just now, just now...
"With all due respect, we are still in danger, we can't... What's wrong with the defender? Has he lost his strength and passed out?" Glover noticed something was wrong, and grabbed the collapsed Slimani.
Slimani moaned and woke up slowly.
Thales breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile:
"Manny, are you okay?"
Slimani opened his eyes and looked ahead in a daze: "Oh, it's okay, it's okay..."
Crack!
There was the sound of fireworks exploding in the distance, as if a large number of cluster fireworks had been ignited somewhere.
Hearing the fireworks, Slimani sat up in a jerk, startling everyone.
I saw him raise his head and smile.
"By the way, my wife," he looked at the moon in the sky with a simple smirk on his face, "I copied fifty warrants today, and I even corrected two wrong sentences for a secretary. Gave me five coppers!"
Thales' smile disappeared.
Hile beside him sighed.
Glorver looked at the defender in surprise, and cast a puzzled look at the prince.
When no one spoke, Slimani realized something.
His eyes changed, he retracted his head, avoiding the moonlight, and said timidly:
"It's just, it's just that I gave the money to the old woman on the street, but she and her granddaughter... are almost out of control!"
He covered his head and cried:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! My wife, I know I was wrong! Don't dare to do it next time!"
Thales stared blankly at the trembling Slimani~IndoMTL.com~Manny..." He spoke with difficulty.
"I know!"
Slimani raised his head suddenly, looked at the moon again, and put on a simple and honest smirk.
"I heard that the Police Department is recruiting temporary staff. I can read, I can do arithmetic, I can memorize scriptures, I can also copy documents, and those official documents and reports are not that difficult, no," he said like a child. Counting fingers one by one, "Trust me, wife, trust me, next week, just next week..."
The former great defender took a deep breath, with a little hope in his timidity, full of confidence:
"We, we will definitely be able to pay the rent!"
"Sure!"
At that moment, looking at Slimani with a silly smile on his face, Thales stood there in a daze.
I don't know what to say.
