Endless Road of Corpse - C68
Now.
When I saw it was MaggieQ, my whole body relaxed, and MaggieQ withdrew her hand from my nose and mouth, making a silent gesture with her index finger.
I nodded slightly and reached out a hand for her to give me a hand, but MaggieQ ignored me and turned away. Helplessly, I got up and followed her downstairs.
Although the room was so dark that he couldn’t see the road clearly, MaggieQ seemed to be very familiar with it. He quickly moved between the random piles of junk and the people lying on the ground, as if he had always lived here.
I followed her downstairs. The first thing I saw was Monkey and Yang Yufan, who were on night watch, sprawled on the ground beside the stove. Startled, I quickly ran over to check.
“They’re fine. They just fainted.” MaggieQ coldly said.
I was still worried, so I squatted down to check their breathing. Luckily, their breathing was normal, and there wasn’t any expression of pain on their faces. It looked just like they were normally sleeping.
“What are you trying to do?” I could not help but feel a little sulky and impolite when I saw my companions being attacked every day.
“Nothing.” MaggieQ simply replied, “I just came to warn you to get out of here! Those people will be here soon … However … Anyway, you won’t listen, so be it. ” Then she turned and walked out.
I suddenly remembered the yellow-faced man at Ghost Market who stuffed the warning slip of paper into my hands. His figure was exactly the same as MaggieQ who was standing in front of me.
“Wait …”
MaggieQ stopped at the door and looked back at me. The white snow outside shone brightly in the moonlight and covered MaggieQ’s face with a layer of milky white light. I was stunned by what I saw.
“What else is there?”
“Ah …” I immediately came back to my senses, awkwardly scratched my head and said: “That day on the Heaven Stage, I still had to thank you for saving us, and that day at the Ghost Market, the one who warned us was you, right?”
MaggieQ neither admits nor denies that his face is expressionless: “That’s because you saved me twice. After today, we are even! You can stay here and die if you want! ”
I turned my attention back to MaggieQ’s warning. Thinking of the well-equipped and well-trained riders, I couldn’t help but feel a chill run down my spine.
“You mean the people on motorcycles?” Who are they? Why are you chasing after San Tu and the others? ”
“They aren’t chasing people, but this thing …” MaggieQ took out something from her bosom and placed it on her hand. She then opened her palm, and the snow shone on it.
“You, you, you … How did you steal the Asura Seal? ” My brain couldn’t wrap my head around it so I could only stammer out this sentence.
“Humph!” “What Asura Seal!” MaggieQ pouted and said in disdain, “Extremely ignorant!”
There are countless questions running through my head, but I have no way to ask them. I could only stare at her with my mouth wide open.
MaggieQ suddenly smiled as he saw me act this way: “These things have nothing to do with you. You should quickly leave this place and protect your life.”
“Leave this place?” It’s easier said than done. I smiled bitterly and shook my head. We won’t be a week out of that door, I’m afraid. ”
“That’s not my business!” MaggieQ said with a smile, “All I know is that if you stay here, you won’t live another day!”
“But, if you don’t steal this seal, even if those people come looking for us, as long as we hand it back to them, I’m afraid they won’t be able to kill us. In the end, you didn’t save us, but rather harmed us!” I suddenly had an idea.
MaggieQ was stunned for a moment, then said: “Then come with me now, I guarantee you will survive!”
MaggieQ’s tone was very confident, as if she, a weak girl, could protect me, a man, in this world of Zombie. I didn’t feel that anything was wrong with what she said, as if it was what it should be.
“But what about them?” I pointed to the monkey and Yang Yufan on the ground.
“What’s they got to do with me?” MaggieQ said again coldly.
“But they’re my friends …” I couldn’t help but say in astonishment that this woman seemed to be made of ice and didn’t understand the ways of the world.
MaggieQ lowered her head and frowned, as if she was considering whether her friend should save her. After a while, she looked up at me and said, “There’s one way!”
“What method?”
“Defeat them here!”
“Huh?” I thought to myself, what kind of method is this? If I can beat it, then what is the point?
“Do you have a gun?” MaggieQ continued.
“Yes …” “A automatic rifle and a handgun, but the rifle only has two boxes of bullets, so the handgun is basically useless due to lack of maintenance.”
“As long as you have a gun!” MaggieQ nodded. “All you have to do is hold them back and not let them in!”
MaggieQ said and made to go out.
I immediately called out to her, “Hey …” Hold them… “And then?”
“And?” MaggieQ smiled again and said, “Then pray to the gods!”
“Right!” MaggieQ suddenly changed the subject. “Put this thing away and return it to me when I get back!” She threw the Ashura Seal at me.
I frantically caught it and asked, “Who are you?”
“Who am I?” MaggieQ was stunned. His sharp eyes became blank for a moment. After a moment, he shook his head and muttered, “I don’t know either …” Didn’t you call me MaggieQ? That’s great! ”
After saying that, she swiftly turned around and floated away on the snowy ground. No matter how hard I tried to call for her, she didn’t look back.
I stared blankly at her until she disappeared into the night, until the object in my hand was so hard it hurt. I raised my hand to my eyes and opened my palm.
This was the first time I had observed this so-called Ashura Seal up close. In addition to the characters carved at the bottom and the carved Biting-tail Snake on the top, there was a circle of patterns on the side. I leaned close to the door and looked at it closely with the snow light, only to discover that it was an abstract two-headed bird, like both an eagle and a phoenix in Chinese culture.
