Shadow Code - C36

” Then, shall we wait here? ” I returned the Night Pearl to the pockmarks, and touched the two empty strips of skin on my body to ensure that they were still there. I patted the cold dew on my body that night.

” We still need to make some preparations. That fellow’s skill is something we can’t match up to. After chasing after him for so long, my stamina is exhausted, so it’s up to us! ” As he spoke, the pockmark began to study the area, trying to figure out how to take advantage of the natural advantage.

” Then hurry up, maybe they’ll be here soon! ”

” “Let me think, don’t worry!”

I didn’t dare disturb the pockmarked man’s attentive thinking, so I looked around.

Here, in a circle, three sides of the ring of trees and one side of the circle of mountains, facing a small hill, where the snow had not melted for a long time, and there was a cloud of snow in the sky, looking ethereal, and there was a crooked-shaped gravel road at the foot of the mountain, which should have been built by humans, with a frozen lake in the middle and a mother tree canyon growing under it according to the lake that the pockmarked.

” “No, pockmarked, they seem to have arrived before us!” I suddenly saw a line of large, eye-catching words on the gravel path on the opposite hill: Follow me, sister!

” F * ck, we’re even one step too late for a shortcut. Isn’t that guy surpassing us? You know, if you run from the forest to the hill on the other side, you will have a long way to go. That speed is not ordinary, but little sister is also very fierce, so you’ve really caught up and even left a mark for us. He walked down the slope toward the white lake.

” This White Lake is already frozen. Whether it is solid or not, we will slide across it and save time! ” I asked.

” This lake is hard even if you want to dig it open. It’s frozen all year round and you have to cross it from the top! ” As he spoke, pockmarked man strode like a meteor to the shore of the lake.

When we arrived at the lakeshore, I discovered that the temperature here was much lower than the forest a few meters away. The thick cotton pants were pierced through in a short while, making the rolling bones feel really cold, so cold that you couldn’t even find your legs.

“We have to hurry, otherwise, we’ll freeze to death!” The pockmarks rubbed against his body, constantly moving to defend against the cold.

“Don’t tell me we were frozen to become living scarecrows as soon as we reached the middle of the lake. I’ve never come across such a cold place and I really want to die. No wonder this place is frozen for so long.

“Freezing is impossible, don’t you think we can still speak freely? This is just the extreme low temperature within half a meter of the lake, and if you don’t believe me, you can feel that your upper body is not that cold, so you have to keep moving and rely on your upper body to constantly transfer heat to warm your lower body, or you will be in trouble!”

” Wait, San-zi, did we fall for something? Look, the words on the snowy road across there, it’s not right! ” He continued, “If I followed the hairy man into the hill from the lake side, there would be a row of footprints of the hairy man into the snow mountain, and then he would give us those words as he chased after us. So we should assume that they would be on the hill, and if they ran from the forest to the opposite hill at night, and then down the snow road to the lake, it would be the footprints of the hairy man first, and then the footprints of the little sister would be written down. At the same time, we would not be able to follow those footprints up the mountain.

But the words were directed our way. If she followed the Mao people up the mountain, she followed them, and if she followed them down the mountain, it was written in reverse, but she didn’t know which path we took to get closer. If we chased from the mountain to the lake, why did she write these words in desperation so that we could stand here and look at them? Moreover, the footprints were wrong. They were missing a person.

” “It is a situation where someone is following us and when we are about to arrive, they arrive at the other side ahead of time and write these words as if they were ‘little sister’ to mislead us.”

“If you think about it this way, many things will make sense. Think about it, if a person writes these words, of course they will leave a trail of footprints. Moreover, these words are coincidentally directed at us, so we can see it with a glance!”

“That’s right, I’ll look again. The handwriting is neat and not too hasty. I don’t believe that I would have the time to write like this after chasing after her at that speed. However, if someone is following me, who could it be?”

Three, we’ve been targeted by several groups of people ever since we entered the forest. Other than this little sister, the person who sent the piece of leather to us is a group of people, think about it, that person intentionally gave you the piece of leather, or he sent you the first piece of fur from the rouge shop earlier, or they are all under the orders of the same person, and the people who stole the pot yesterday shouldn’t be that group of fur people. With the addition of this little sister, we have three people following us!

“Punk, you always say that my line of thinking is straight. This time, I’ll bend down, do you dare to think that I’m in cahoots with the Maoists?” I don’t know why, but I can’t believe everyone else because things are so complicated and weird.

“Bugs, you’ve thought about it too, haven’t you? It’s just that because of my love for little sister, I’ve kept it in my stomach, haven’t I?”

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing we can chase after. Really, even if we tied her up, we wouldn’t be able to beat that little girl, plus that human who took the bullets with his bare hands. But, it’s still the same, he’s not coming for us, otherwise, we would have died a long time ago, we have what they want in our hands!”

“But, why are they so amazing? What do they want? Why don’t they get their own way?”

Maybe, many things can only be obtained by using you and me, or more accurately speaking, only by using you. For example, when little sister made the transaction, little sister clearly cared a lot about this diary, why never stole it, because this diary only has two pages, stole two pages, and is hostile to you, in the future, won’t have the opportunity to obtain more, the complete diary will certainly not only be two pages, she thinks more, so she can only use it on the surface to gain trust, and secretly use it on the surface. I didn’t want to think about the string of words that the pockmark had said, because I was emotionally opposed to thinking about my little sister that way, and I wanted to escape even if I had to deceive myself. However, the fact that there were many things that made me have to face the possibility of such a possibility of existence head-on.

Thinking of this, there was no point in chasing after them. The two of them were like homeless people who had been tricked until they lost their lives.

As long as we still have some value, the other party will appear again. Just like you said, he wants more from us. For example, if he gives us those journal notes, I will definitely find us myself!

” “Right, then let’s follow our old plan and go look for your corpse!”

“We seem to have forgotten something important, pockmark, those footprints belonged to a person, that’s right, do you remember that I can become invisible? Why didn’t I become helpless and become invisible to follow the Mao people? That’s right, those footprints belong to the Mao people!” I suddenly understood.

The pockmark also smacked his forehead, “F * ck, things have suddenly turned out too extreme. We can’t trust anyone so easily, and we can’t easily wrongly accuse them either. Then, let’s go to the hill opposite and see who’s footprints are. Let’s make an initial judgement on who!”

In the end, he still had to slide across the lake to the hill on the other side.

” “Blight, there’s blood!” The pockmarks had already walked over, leaving the snowy road untrodden as they followed the roadside as well.

Let’s not move, let’s first check along the road and go back to check if we find anything. But, looking at the size of the footprints, they shouldn’t be mine, at least this is 45 yards of feet, all men are big, it’s impossible for me to have such a body. The initial appraisal of the pockmarks is very reasonable, so we immediately decided to go up the mountain.
