Kingdom’s Bloodline - v3 Chapter 694
Chapter 694 Open Heart
【When the test comes, the devil will whisper, the evil spirit will murmur, in a language we cannot understand. 】
What, what happened?
White smoke filled the air, Thales looked at Shi Lai in confusion, the girl held his face, opened and closed her lips anxiously, but couldn’t make a sound.
How, how…
In the next instant, the cold touch on the neck made Thales get goosebumps!
By the way, me, I just managed to shout out?
may also bring disaster.
Thales stared at the strange white smoke in front of him, feeling the existence behind him, and his sobriety and reason gradually returned to his brain.
“You, who are you?” He touched the dagger and asked the person behind him vigilantly.
Or, what are you?
Seeing this, Xi Lai became more and more terrified and shook her head desperately.
The existence behind gently stroked his neck, and his voice became sweeter and gentler: “That’s not important.”
Thales was shocked.
strangeness.
This voice is…
No, it’s not possible.
“What really matters is, who are you, Thales?”
Thales subconsciously turned around and grabbed the wrist of the person behind him!
He froze immediately.
It was a blond girl with glasses and beautiful features.
She stared blankly at the wrist that Thales was grasping, slightly panicked.
is her?
Thales is incredible.
Who is she – Shirai looked at the girl in front of her in amazement as well. She couldn’t make a sound, but her mouth was clear.
Thales ignored Hillary, and subconsciously let go of the other’s wrist.
is Selma.
Selma Walton.
Little slicker?
Thales looked at Selma in surprise.
Expression, demeanor, movements, including the habit of pouting, are exactly the same as when she parted.
It’s just that his body is longer and his facial features are brighter. Looking at Thales’ eyes, he is even more…
“No, it’s impossible, it must be… how, how did you do it…” Thales subconsciously stepped back and was supported by Xilai.
But Selma sighed weakly:
“Tales, remember everything you taught me?”
Her steps were vain and her eyes were blurred, just like when Longxiaocheng escaped with him back then.
“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 Duke of Longxiaocheng’s eyes glowed: “You don’t even know what I am, what I should be, and what I am in your heart…”
Do not.
It’s just its trick.
is just a trick.
This doesn’t exist at all…
Thales was inexplicably flustered, he pulled his wrist back desperately, just wanting to stay away from Thelma in front of him.
Xilai wanted to rush up to help, but in reality there seemed to be a transparent wall separating her from Thales and Selma.
Even if she beat her to death, 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 that I would have my own choices, and you told me that I could leave if I wanted to. Go, but you’re lying! You’re lying! With a lie we all know!”
Thelma gritted her teeth, tears flashing in her eyes.
Thales was flustered, his chest was dull, and he tried to break free from the opponent’s hand.
Do not!
This is all fake! fake!
Even if the real Selma came, she wouldn’t be like this…
“And I believe in you!”
Thelma dragged his wrist tightly, she slumped down and cried out in pain:
“Because you know, you know I’ll believe it! So you feel guilty and happy, because you know, as long as it’s you, as long as it’s what Thales says, I’ll believe it no matter what! Even if I know it’s a lie, I don’t I will believe it! Because of what you say, I only want to believe it!”
At that moment, Thales only felt that there was something in his heart and was hit hard by a heavy hammer.
He bowed his head deeply.
Sheila was thumping the void frantically, a foot away from them. She was so anxious that she screamed desperately.
But Thales couldn’t hear.
In the distance, a bunch of torches flashed dimly in the white smoke, flickering on and off.
“Why, Thales, why? Why are you being so nice to me?” Selma was tired from crying, she spoke hoarsely, touched the dagger in Thales’ hand, and pointed the tip at her heart, “again So bad for me? Why don’t you want to let me go and hold me tight?”
The next second, Thales took a deep breath and raised his head sharply!
With a bang, the JC dagger fell to the ground.
In Thales’ hand, the torch in the distance replaced the dagger, and he was pushed forward with great force!
“No, ah ah ah!” Selma screamed in pain from the sudden flames.
Appears in fire.
Thales trembled, trying not to care about the hot tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
“No, Thales! Why? Why ahhh!” The Grand Duchess’s face was curled and deformed by the flames.
Disillusionment before God…
Thales bit his lower lip and couldn’t bear to look at her.
The screams disappeared.
“You said it, you said you would do something, Thales.” A new voice came.
Thales was startled and turned around.
I don’t know when, Selma disappeared.
Standing in front of him was a little girl of four or five years old, dirty all over, like a little beggar.
On the girl’s face, a burn scar in the shape of a coin is clearly visible.
That’s… Coria?
“We, we all look forward to your coming, Thales,” the youngest beggar in the sixth room said innocently, his tone full of naive and earnest hope, “I hope you will come to save us, I believe you will have There’s a way! You always have a way!”
Thales trembled in his heart and took a half step back subconsciously.
Do not.
Why?
“But you didn’t come,” Coria said in a low voice, her expression became dull, lost, and lifeless, “You didn’t come to save us, you didn’t show up, Thales.”
“Not till death.”
Not till death.
Thales flickered.
He stared blankly at Coria, 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, Shi Lai, who was a foot away, was beating and tearing the air frantically, making “no” gestures and mouth shapes with all his strength, trying to attract Thales’ attention.
“It’s okay, I know, Thales, I know that feeling…”
Thales raised his head in confusion.
In front of her eyes, Selma, whose eyes were red, sniffed, trying her best to show a consoling smile.
“But like you said, we have to remember, remember this kind of fear that can only be slaughtered by others and can’t make a choice, right?”
Thelma took off her glasses and stretched her arms forward. The latter did not respond, and let the girl wrap her neck around him.
Let others be slaughtered, unable to make their own choices…
“No.” Thales said in a trance.
“You and I, we are all disgusted by this feeling,” Thelma looked at him tenderly, eyes like water, “This disgust is even more than the fear we feel.”
“To be free from this fear, and to one day be free to choose, we will, and must, become stronger.”
Thales trembled all over, he couldn’t help the tears in 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 off a lot of burdens.
“And you know what I’m talking about, Thales, you know.”
Thelma pressed against his ear and said softly, “Whoever you want to be.”
“Whoever you become.”
“Be…the one who reverses all this misfortune.”
Thales lost his eyes.
Reverse all this misfortune…
He subconsciously clenched his left fist, and his fingers touched the scar on the left palm.
if only……
Just a swipe…
Reverse misfortune.
“enough!”
In the next second, Thales only felt his embrace lightly, he lost his balance and fell to his knees!
“You! Stay away from him!” Hille’s hysterical voice came from a distance.
The surrounding white smoke faded instantly.
Thales landed his hands on the ground, only to feel that his mind was empty, and the feeling of confusion just now disappeared.
Um?
He was startled and looked up suddenly!
Sheila stood five paces away from him, clutching the sharp JC dagger against her own throat.
Blood flowed from between the skin and fell down the JC.
tick.
She is…
“Oh, is he so important?”
Thales got agitated and stood up quickly – the Grand Duchess of Longxiaocheng stood beside him with a cold face, looking at Xi Lai with a sharp edge on her throat.
“I’m not joking! Stand back!” The eldest lady of Emerald City was full of anger, she was short of breath and dripping with sweat.
Thales was shocked, Selma’s eyes turned cold, and the two took a step back together.
“Sheila?”
Thales stared nervously at the dagger on Shi Lai’s neck: “Why… what is that…”
He remembered something, and subconsciously picked up the torch on the ground and wanted to rekindle it.
“‘Appearance in Fire’ is a rumor, Your Highness,” Selma said lazily, as if she knew what Thales was going to do, “It’s like there are all kinds of strange people and ten thousand forms… Fire only affects a small part of us. Partly useful, for more guys, fire is a friend, a close bond.”
Thales frowned.
“As for ‘disillusionment before the gods’, eh,” the Grand Duchess smiled, “at least that’s what humans hope for?”
Thales felt his heart tighten.
“To shut up!”
Sheila roared, and the blood from her neck flowed down the dagger and onto her wrist:
“You, come this way – throw that thing away!”
Thales subconsciously threw the extinguished torch, stood beside Xile, and confronted “Thelma” in front of him.
“Who is that?” Thales asked in a low voice with lingering fears.
“Tell me! Who is she?” Sheila answered gruffly, obviously in a bad mood.
Thales took a deep breath and dared not speak.
I saw “Thelma” sighed: “Cecilia, you know the price of suicide, right? It’s not just death.”
Xile swallowed her saliva, the pain in her throat made her expression tighten:
“Yes, that counts as my breach of contract.”
Thales looked suspicious.
Xile didn’t dare to let go of the dagger in her hand, she gritted her teeth and said to “Thelma” in front of her:
“But you, you will forever lose the bridge and ferry to the world! It doesn’t matter, right? You just need to wait for hundreds or thousands of years to get lucky and meet the next stupid girl with no brains!”
“Thelma” was silent.
“So, you are willing to pay the price of breach of contract in exchange for him, he?”
Xilei pouted: “It’s none of your business.”
“Thelma” smiled slightly.
“Then, the contract is reached, and one day, Cecilia Regina Bella Calvindir, you will fulfill your promise…”
Thales’ eyes changed.
“Thelma” stared sharply and pointed at Thales,
“Only for him.”
What?
What contract?
“what?”
Thales wasn’t the only one surprised, Hillary was equally horrified:
“Me? Him? Hey! Monster! It’s not a consensus! No, it’s not a contract! You can’t just…”
The next moment, “Thelma” suddenly appeared in front of Xilai, taking advantage of the latter’s unpreparedness and snatching the dagger from her hand!
“Be careful!”
Both of them were startled, Thales was startled, instinctively pulled Shi Lai back, and looked at “Selma” vigilantly.
And “Selma” skillfully turned the JC dagger in his hand, showing a provocative smile.
Oops.
Thales and Hillary looked at each other.
“I…I still have many ways to kill myself!”
Xile 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 dispense poison today,” Thelma said lazily, “I’m afraid that the wrong hand will poison this Highness.”
Xile’s rummaging motion froze.
“Thelma”‘s smile became more and more dazzling.
But in the next second, Thales hugged Shi Lai!
“I, I can kill her!” Thales put the JC dagger on Shi Lai’s neck again, and acted viciously.
“Thelma”‘s eyes changed, she frowned and looked at the missing dagger, thoughtfully.
Xile was stunned for a moment, then reacted:
“Yes, yes! He can kill me! He is amazing!”
Thales shook his dagger and nodded fiercely.
Sheila wiped the nosebleed from him in disgust.
Selma’s eyes turned cold.
The three looked at each other for several seconds, until “Selma” suddenly bent down and burst into a shocking laugh:
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
She laughed quite happily, she was overjoyed, and even rolled on the ground happily.
made Thales and Hilley look at each other.
“Oops, just kidding!”
“Thelma” finally had enough laughing, she held her stomach and pointed to Thales panting:
“Don’t worry, dear Cecilia, I won’t do anything to him… Look, this child has been marked: on the forehead is written the big ‘This thing has the owner, no one else is near’! ”
Um?
Thales and Shireziqi were puzzled, and Thales touched his forehead subconsciously.
“But it makes me wonder who ordered such a shipment.”
“Selma” stopped laughing, she sat on the ground and looked at Thales with interest.
Thales was stared uncomfortably by it, and whispered to Hillary:
“What do you mean? Mark? Also, can it stop talking like that? At least… at least a different image?”
Xile raised his eyebrows:
“Who is this girl?”
Thales hesitated.
But in the next second, “Selma” seemed to have heard what Thales said, and countless white smoke spread from her body!
Both of them were startled, but when the white smoke cleared, what appeared in front of them was a pitch-black human body.
It is smooth and shiny, with a light body and full limbs.
is like a “person” covered in thick black oil.
just has no facial features.
See Thales with disgust.
Well, it still looks better.
“Well, 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 man behind that…”
There are more and more ripples on its body, like a trembling water surface.
“Yes, take you, possess you, torture you, destroy you, and dedicate all this to the lord I serve, to the one who favors me, the great monarch with a thousand faces…” And its speed is also Faster and faster, the whole “person” trembled and held his head back, pulling out a vibrato:
“Imagine how happy it should be, lord!”
Hearing that the other party was going to “take away” himself and then “consecrate” him to a thousand-faced monarch, Thales’ expression was delicate.
“Ignore it,” Hillary whispered, “it has a time limit here.”
But the madness of the black body continues:
“…And once your Majesty is happy and complacent, I will have a chance…”
“Have the opportunity to kill it torture it to imprison it and destroy it, and become the new king hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
Thales frowned:
“Your monarch, that thousand-faced thing, does it know that you have been wicked and want to kill it and replace it?”
It shuddered when he heard the words and put down his hands.
There are ripples on the dark face without facial features:
“Huh? This, it, it, it…”
It seemed to be very embarrassed, and the whole person slowly shrank into a ball, until he stretched his limbs again, burst into laughter:
“Of course it knows ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah what!”
The pitch-black human body is holding a smooth head, trembling up to the sky, like a mechanical puppet with a sluggish clockwork:
“Your Majesty, it was long, long ago, looking forward to, yearning, longing, that one day, its subordinates would be strong enough to resist it and resist it and destroy it, and even replace it, so that it can be placed in a higher and bigger world. In the more terrifying destruction and destruction, in the roar of pain and the bitterness of failure, do you get the most unparalleled enjoyment hahahahahahahaha…”
Thales had difficulty understanding the other party’s logic, but Shi Lai just shook his head solemnly.
“Like a long time ago, the demons instigated humans to seek the unknown, urging them to touch the taboo…”
It trembled and reached out to Thales, and the words were filled with unparalleled joy and madness:
“To break free from beliefs, to rebel against gods, to despise order, to hate self, to pursue excellence, to pursue magical energy that surpasses all understanding, to become an indigestible disaster in this world, and to cause the devil himself to have headaches and pains. Unbearable, unprecedented catastrophe, chaos, terror, and great joy ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
What?
From its upside-down and illogical words, Thales caught something.
“And they made it!”
It danced and screamed in the white smoke:
“When the first magician penetrates the boundary wall, awakens the gods, shakes the faith! When the disaster and the king fall into hell, kill and destroy, and ask for the source! When the river of **** is in chaos, the monarchs of **** are all Rejoice in pain and torment, enjoy success in destruction and rebirth: they finally play the self-destructing poem that has been awaited since birth, the chaos and disorder that even the supreme gods cannot remedy! Heaven, mortal, Hell, fate begins to turn towards the end of horror, this boring world is finally interesting!”
What?
Thales was stunned.
The white smoke was hazy, it laughed wildly, and it was as dark as ever.
“It’s…” Sheila frowned.
“Why,” Thales suddenly said, “Why are you telling me this?”
His wild laughter came to an abrupt end.
“Oh, my lord, you know why.”
The smooth face without facial features turned to Thales, but it gave the latter a terrifying feeling of being stared at:
“You know.”
Thales was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to ask questions, he saw it turn up in the air!
“Okay, Cecilia,” it fell behind them in the haze of white smoke, “for the reason you’ve got me so much fun—you’re getting a discount today!”
Sheila was surprised:
“Offer? What do you mean? Wait-”
But before she could finish speaking, she saw the white smoke escaping, and a figure screamed and fell out of it!
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
is Srimani.
Thales widened his eyes.
The Emerald City’s great defender looked like he had just woken up from a nightmare. He looked at the white smoke around him nervously: “These are, where is this place?”
At the next moment, it—a weird jet-black figure appeared behind Slimani and waved at Thales and Shilay.
The two were suddenly surprised:
“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 Shi Lai just now.
In the next second, Slimani turned his head and looked at “it”, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright.
Do not.
Thales’ heart froze.
He knew that Srimani must have seen something or heard something, just like he had just now.
“No no no, you are not real, not real, not real…” Slimani didn’t dare to look up, he folded his head and muttered to himself tremblingly.
“You really don’t remember, Manny, we said yes, didn’t we?”
This time, the voice of “it” sounded faintly, and even Thales and Hillary could hear:
“When you and your mother-in-law are still living in a short-term rental house, you can’t earn enough money to pay the rent, you can’t even buy a decent suit, you’re destitute and struggling to get by? When you want to get ahead?”
Slimani remembered something.
He looked at the thick white smoke in front of him and opened his eyes.
“Do not……”
“When you endured tears and pain, and with unwillingness and pain, in countless exhausting afternoons after work, and in countless numb nights when you came home, you questioned me…”
Slimani blocked his ears and looked horrified.
It paused for a while, as if enjoying the other’s fear.
“Remember, Manny, we made an agreement: you are willing to pledge a tribute to me, something that comes naturally, goes silently, does not increase or decrease, and does not notice anything…”
“No, no, I didn’t!” Slimani trembled more and more.
“Something that you have always owned but didn’t take seriously…”
“No, it’s impossible!” Slimani shook his head desperately, in pain.
But its words invaded unstoppably:
“A curse that not everyone has, but when others have it and you don’t have it, you will be happier and happier, but when you have it and others don’t have it, you will have to live more miserable and miserable cursed things… …”
“I don’t! I don’t have anything—” Slimani closed his eyes.
In the next second, it suddenly shouted loudly, intimidatingly:
“Look-watch-it!”
Slimani shivered with fright, opened his eyes instinctively, and felt something in his hand.
The great defense attorney bowed his head in horror.
At that moment, he found that lying in his hand was a twisted and shriveled, black and wrinkled, especially crooked head…
Dry baby corpse.
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah–”
He was so frightened that he threw away the baby corpse in his hand and screamed in horror.
“Let him go!”
Thales was anxious, he rushed forward subconsciously, but the white smoke in front of him formed an impenetrable wall, which made him unable to move forward.
“What is this? Can you break them?” Thales smashed the smokescreen in front of him and asked Xile anxiously.
“I, I don’t know,” Xi Lai said nervously, “When the accident happened, a lot of common sense didn’t hold, no, don’t look directly over there, you will be tricked…”
On the other end of the smoke screen, the twisted baby corpse began to twist under the shroud of white smoke, making an eerie cry.
“不!不不不,不不不!别!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊——”
Slimani was so terrified that his tears flowed, and he crawled on the ground regardless of his image, just wanting to get further away from it.
Thales’ eyes were split.
“Man—ne—”
At the other end of the white smoke, the dry baby corpse was twisting and crawling, and the place where the mouth should have been opened and closed strangely, making a scream like crying:
“Remember! You mortgaged it to me, and your life, in exchange for a better life – brocade clothing and jade food, and there is surplus food in disaster years! Being on the top of people is a word of life and death!”
The next moment, the baby corpse twitched and raised its head, crying heartbreakingly:
“No! Skinny Slimani! Useless Slimani! Sloppy Slimani! Nerdy Slimani! Slimani who can’t do farm work! Hillbilly Slimani! Poor bastard! Slimani! Slimani! Despicable Slimani! Temporary worker Slimani! Slimani who can’t pay rent! Stupid Slimani! Bully Slimani! Cowardly Slimani! Smart Slimani! Vigilant Slimani! Pen Slimani! Report Expert Slimani! Articulate Slimani! A Pen Slimani in the Vigilance Hall Slimani the Great Advocate! The Slimani who is watertight! The Slimani who is cunning! The Srimani who reverses the ruling! The Slimani who is knowledgeable! The Srimani who is the customer ! High and respected Mr. Srimani!”
Every time it called out a name, Slimani on the ground twitched in pain.
“Look at what I have given you over the years – no, it should be that you have worked hard and struggled to make progress in these years, and then through my insignificant little intermediary, you have exchanged something for this world.”
It’s voice became smaller, no longer so sharp, but a little more indifferent.
“No no no no!”
The crawling baby corpse was still some distance away from Srimani, but the latter lay on the ground surrounded by white smoke. He was terrified, kept screaming, and kicked and beat him desperately into the void: “I’m just, just…”
“But you defaulted.” His voice suddenly became dry and monotonous, with no emotion.
seems to be official business.
“You took it back, not long ago, without permission-according to the contract, it was my property,” the baby corpse no longer twitched and crawled, but slowly dissipated into white smoke, “So, I will fulfill it. contract, recover the mortgage.”
Srimani’s struggles diminished, and he stared blankly at the white smoke in front of him, watching it turn into a smooth, dark figure.
“Even the book, bring profit…”
It raised its finger and paused subtly in front of Slimani’s eyes: “Add a little liquidated damage?”
In just the next second, Slimani seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world. He covered his head and screamed: “No no no no ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah-”
“Hey!” Thales banged frantically on the curtain wall composed of white smoke, gnashing his teeth: “Let him go! Demon!”
“Don’t look at it!” Sheila pulled his arm in a panicked tone, “Don’t!”
But the dark figure ignored them.
“Why, why! Why me!” Slimani screamed, sobbing repeatedly.
It responded with a laugh:
“Don’t complain, Manny! Because this is a deal, a contract, and fairness, and your example is one of the principles that many fools believe in: throw away human nature, and get rich and good life. Believe in human nature, and die!”
“Because the gods, or the beings on the backside of the world, they want to see your struggles, your struggles, your pains, your tempering, and your thousands Life is full of twists and turns, I want to see your unexpected ending, I want to see you do everything to prove your worth, just like watching a show, reading a novel – just like us!”
“And the price is that, including you, all the mortals in this world will live forever, trapped in torment, and cannot be freed! You must, as an admired actor, repeat the tragic scene every time they look down and admire, laugh and scold. Poor and stupid life ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Its laughter is unbridled and elated.
Slimani’s screams began to weaken.
“What’s more, compared to your landlord and boss…” It smiled and put down its finger, “You are much more fun.”
Srimani’s screams finally disappeared.
He rolled his eyes and fell softly to the ground.
The next moment, Thales only felt empty in front of him, and the wall composed of smoke screens suddenly disappeared.
“What did you do to him?” Thales grabbed Slimani and roared.
It turned around and spread its hands innocently:
“Don’t worry, he’s alive, and he didn’t mortgage his life to me.”
Thales detected Slimani’s breath, and his heart was relieved, but he could see the monster in front of him, and his nerves tightened again:
“What the **** are you!”
“Evil,” muttered Sheila, coming behind him, “it’s evil.”
“Where! I’m not evil at all!”
It giggled, 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 it has invented and built over thousands of years, compared to the ability to twist every ordinary person into a destructive way of harming each other. Compared with the genius idea and grand idea of transforming the extreme evil into the banality of evil, it can make everyone willingly and even proudly be unwilling to be evil and even use The sound of evil being good… tsk tsk tsk, my kindness, purity and magnanimity are even worthy of Losofia wake up and write a book to engrave on a monument…”
“And I wish you to defeat it, Your Highness,” it tilted his head, his tone playful, “become—the evil of evil, the evil of evil.”
Thales frowned.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
But it just smiled and the whole human body began to disintegrate and dissipate…
“Go away,” Sheila woke up from a dream. She grabbed a stone and smashed it hard:
“Leave far away!”
“Don’t tell me, little Liuzhi, you are my high-quality customer! As for this unidentified His Royal Highness, hehe, please remember my name so that you can do business in the future…”
Thales frowned.
“On the side of the Hell River, hospitality,” its laughter penetrated the smoke, “Borrow and return, soul bone Jacques!”
Soul bone, Jacques?
Thales was startled and looked back at Hillary.
But the latter just shook his head.
“Okay, before I go home, I have to go to the outskirts of the city to find a client,” its voice came from the white smoke, “A woman who has lost her life for many years has lost her case in court, and her grievance is hard to redress, so she can only pray all day long for her enemies to have a good time. The blind old widow of retribution, still waiting for me to fulfill the contract and report the letter-maybe, to charge a little more intermediary fee?”
Thales remembered something and looked at Slimani in his arms.
“And she may believe it again: justice may be late, but there is no shortage of haha 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 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
In the seemingly endless frenzied laughter, the surrounding white smoke gradually dissipated.
The last laugh echoed in the thin white smoke:
“The sun and the moon are as dark as the moon, a cup of blood in the river of hell, I am a cannibal, and I am happy for you!”
Finally, the white smoke that shrouded his vision completely dissipated.
Only Thales knelt on the ground, and together with Shi Lai, supported the unconscious Slimani.
“Your Highness, why did you stop?”
Thales shook his head and found Glover standing in front of him, and behind him was Rolf who was equally puzzled.
They were in a cold alley.
Occasionally passers-by come and go, and look at this group of people curiously.
Glover looked at him puzzled, as if nothing had 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 and can’t… What’s wrong with the defense attorney? He fainted out of strength?” Glover noticed something was wrong and took the collapsed Slimani.
Slimani groaned, waking up.
Thales breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile:
“Manny, are you okay?”
Slimani opened his eyes and looked forward dazedly: “Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay…”
Snapped!
There was a sound of fireworks in the distance, and it seemed that a large number of cluster fireworks were lit somewhere.
Hearing the fireworks, Slimani sat up in a jolt, startling everyone.
I saw him raise his head and smile.
“By the way, wife,” with a simple smirk on his face, looking at the moon in the sky, “I copied fifty warrants today, and helped a secretary correct two typos, they gave me more Five coppers!”
Thales’ smile disappeared.
Xilai, who was beside him, sighed.
Glover looked at the defender in surprise and cast a bewildered look at the prince.
Nobody spoke, Slimani realized something.
His eyes changed, he turned his head back, avoided the moonlight, and said timidly:
“It’s just that I gave the money to the old woman at the street corner, but she and her granddaughter… can’t figure it out!”
He covered his head, his vocal cords cried:
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Wife, I know I’m wrong! I won’t dare next time!”
Thales stared blankly at the trembling Slimani.
“Manny…” he said with difficulty.
“I know!”
Slimani suddenly raised his head, looked at the moon again, and hung a simple and honest smirk.
“I heard that the police department is recruiting temporary staff. I can read, I know arithmetic, I can memorize scriptures, and I can copy documents, and those official documents are not that difficult to report, no,” he said like a child, one by one. Counting fingers, “Trust me, wife, believe 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 can definitely pay the rent!”
“must be able to!”
At that moment, looking at Slimani with a smirk on his face, Thales was stunned.
I don’t know what to say.
