"That's right. To be more specific, it's just that my brain is not working well." Lin Ran said straightforwardly.
Mary stood up and wanted to reach out for the sword, but when she thought that Lin Ran was her savior, she resisted this action.
As a super martial arts genius, no one has ever insulted her like this.
"If I were you, I would never pay attention to the God of Death." Lin Ran said, "He is obviously more than just your child, and he may have just had a one-night fling with your mother... Although I don't know your mother's story, I can imagine it.
, she may not be having a good life these years."
After hearing this, Mary stood silently, her eyes seemed a little complicated.
She didn't mention her mother, so Lin Ran naturally didn't ask any more questions. In fact, from the other person's eyes, he could already see the answer——
There is a high probability that the woman abandoned by death is no longer alive.
"The God of Death doesn't care about your life or death at all, but you still want to clear things up with the other person. Even if you complete the reward, do you think he will give you a thumbs up, or will he smile contemptuously and continue to ignore you?
?" Lin Ran smiled coldly, "What you did is very stupid. Even this is a euphemistic way of saying it."
Mary's eyes were slightly red.
Lin Ran's words reminded her of what the old priest said to her. The other person seemed to be feeling emotional and regretful, but in fact every word was filled with ruthlessness and indifference.
"You should take a rest." Lin Ran pointed to the sofa and "recuperate well, otherwise, you will be searched by the people from the Temple of Death and you will be a burden."
He spoke rudely, and Mary was not dissatisfied. She glanced at Lin Ran and asked, "What about you?"
Lin Ran pointed to his neck and said angrily, "You spit so much blood into my clothes and it's sticky. I have to wash it."
With that said, he walked into the bathroom.
Mary sat on the sofa and adjusted her breathing, her pretty face expressionless.
Well, even though the bones all over her body still hurt, she didn't even let herself frown.
At this time, the bathroom door opened, Lin Ran showed his head and said, "You are a doll who should have a happy life. You should not walk in the darkness all the time. Make a wise choice."
After saying that, he closed the door.
And Mary's calm eyes also fluctuated severely due to these words.
After taking a shower, Lin Ran came out and found that Mary had curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
It looked like an injured kitten.
Lin Ran didn't move her, but just lay on the bed and slept.
When Mary woke up, it was already night.
She sniffed and smelled a hint of fragrance.
There were several dishes on the table, all of which seemed to be oriental dishes. At this time, Lin Ran had brought a glass of warm water to her mouth and said, "Drink some."
"Yeah." Mary took the cup and drank the water in the cup.
She usually only drinks ice water, but this is the first time that warm water soaks her mouth and esophagus, and she feels unprecedentedly comfortable.
Holding the empty cup, she remembered something and her eyes were slightly moist.
"If you still have the strength, go take a shower and eat after you finish." Lin Ran said, "While you were sleeping, I also caught up on my sleep, and then went out to buy some food."
Well, actually shopping for groceries was secondary. Lin Ran mainly wanted to see if anyone was watching. Fortunately, the people from the Temple of Death had not discovered the whereabouts of the two of them yet.
In this safe house, there are clothes for both men and women, so Mary doesn't have to worry about running out of clothes to change.
"Okay." She only said one word, and then got up to take a shower, but her steps still looked weak.
This is not to say that Mary is a weakling. In fact, it is already a very difficult thing to survive against the super combat skills of the veteran stars.
After the gunpowder smoke washed away from her body, Mary's pretty face turned a little red, and her long curled hair was wet and shiny, making her look more like a doll.
She was wearing a white nightgown, and her temperament seemed less sharp, a bit like the little sister next door.
There may not be much close-fitting clothing under this nightgown, but that kind of erectness that can defeat gravity is the pride of a girl.
Lin Ran stared at her twice, but the latter did not avert his gaze, but said, "There were people who stared at me like this in the past, and even wanted to do more extreme things, but I threw them behind the bar."
In the Moming River.”
"That shouldn't be your life. The reason why I took a second look is that I feel that this should be a more real you." Lin Ran said.
Then, he served Mary a large bowl of rice and some vegetables, saying, "This is Blue Star Daxia's way of cooking. You can't eat it here. Eat more. After all, you don't know what will happen next."
Can I still have a full meal?"
"good."
Mary lowered her eyes slightly and did not refuse, although she didn't think she could get used to it at all.
However, when those dishes were taken into her mouth, Mary was seriously surprised by the aroma that filled the air instantly.
She didn't say anything more, took another big mouthful with the spoon and chewed hard.
"If it's delicious, eat more. When you're full, you'll feel more like living in the world." Lin Ran said.
"Um."
Mary said "Yeah" incomprehensibly. She didn't know if it was because of Lin Ran's words that aroused her thoughts, and she suddenly burst into tears.
But despite this, she didn't even cry at all.
Voice.
Lin Ran looked at her and couldn't help but feel a little sad. He didn't say anything to comfort her, but just put a few more pieces of tomato beef into Mary's bowl.
Mary's cheeks were stuffed and she was still crying silently while eating.
Lin Ran could see her stubbornness and determination from this expression - it was a complete cutting off of the past.
He shook his head gently, then reached out and took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears on the other person's face.
Mary did not reject his move, she did not even look at Lin Ran, her eyes were still fixed on the table.
After finishing eating, she wanted to clear away the dishes, but was stopped by Lin Ran.
"You're injured, please rest." Lin Ran reached out and put his hand on her smooth shoulder.
Mary looked at Lin Ran's hands, then returned to the sofa and continued to sit, silently watching Lin Ran working in front of the cupboard.
After Lin Ran finished cleaning up, he actually brought Mary a glass of juice and said, "Drink it to recover."
In fact, he could use his energy to help the other party recover from his injuries, but the trust between the two parties was far from that high.
"Thank you." Looking at the glass of freshly squeezed juice, Mary's eyes narrowed slightly.
In her memory, only two people gave her juice.
One is the woman abandoned by death, and the other is her sister Evelin who took her in.
Lin Ran also brought a glass of juice, sat next to her, and said while drinking, "Are you still ready to accept the reward?"
Mary looked at the orange-red juice and said concisely, "No."
In fact, she didn't even bother to answer a single word to such a question with an obvious result.
"What are you going to do next?" Lin Ran said, "Go back to Evelin?"
Mary didn't look at Lin Ran and said, "Follow you."
"Pfft...ahem!"
Lin Ran's juice squirted out, and then he coughed repeatedly.
When Mary saw this, she didn't say anything. Instead, she stretched out her hand and wiped the juice off the floor!
"I want to fight against the Temple of Death. Maybe the God of Death will come to hunt me down personally..." Lin Ran said, "You don't have to do this. Even if you don't fight back to the Temple of Death, the matter can be settled. Unless they deal with it..."
You chase him to the end."
In Lin Ran's mind, this girl had no particularly clear sense of right and wrong, and all her actions seemed to be driven by temporary thoughts.
"You are in the new world and need help." Mary said firmly, "I can be your first follower."
I can be your first follower! If Evelin heard these words, her eyes would probably pop out!
Lin Ran shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't think the personal charm I show in front of you is enough for you to follow me, or The reporter said, you think my cooking is delicious, so you plan to stay?"
"Yeah, it's delicious." Mary actually gave an affirmative answer.
To tie a woman's heart, you have to tie her stomach. Is it so simple?
Lin Ran was stunned, then smiled and said, "I don't believe this reason. You don't look like a person who can lie."
"The most important thing is that you are a good person." Mary said, "Without you, I would have died today. Being able to escape would mean rebirth... The person I am now is no longer the person I was yesterday."
"This is the second time I've heard you say such a long sentence." Lin Ran smiled, "I thought you could only speak word by word."
Mary “…”
"I hope this is the result of careful consideration, because I may fall into the attack of the entire distant planet in the future." Lin Ran sighed softly and said, "This kind of life of hiding in Tibet is actually very desperate. I can survive."
It’s already very difficult to live without collapse.”
"I'll follow you," Mary said.
Her clear eyes showed unprecedented determination.
This girl really believes that she has stuck to her inner choice.
However, Mary did not expect that Lin Ran refused again.
He said, "I don't need you to stay with me out of repayment. In fact, when I rescued you, I didn't even think about asking you to do anything for me."
However, when Lin Ran said this, he did not realize at all how much hope he brought to Mary who was in despair when he swung the sword light!
"Let me tell you the story of Blue Star." Lin Ran said, "After you listen, you will know why I am standing here. At that time, you can decide whether you want to continue to follow me.
"
"Well, okay." Mary responded.
But in fact, in her heart, she had already made a decision.
So, Lin Ran told the story of Blue Star's resistance, from the skeleton angels in the Temple of Death, to the starry sky battlefield, to the Watcher, and to the seniors who left Blue Star and took the initiative to fight for the new world.
Mary was a little moved when she heard this. Although Blue Star's survival had nothing to do with her, Lin Ran's story still made her eyes flicker.
"The God of Death has always wanted to occupy Blue Star, enslave us, and even kill all the Blue Star people." Lin Ran shook his head, "His ambition is too big, I must stop it... And in this new world
, how many careerists are there like the God of Death? The battles I will face next are endless, and scenes like what I experienced today may become as common as eating and drinking in the future."
Mary listened and did not answer, but asked, "Have you finished telling your story?"
