There was no need to guess the outcome of the competition. Lian Lian won with a huge advantage. Naturally, there was no need to look forward to the so-called rewards of the competition. In Lian Lian's glare, Mo Xin retreated with a stomachache.
The day passed quickly amid such noise. As the black night fell, Overlord City became extremely quiet.
Qin Tian leaned against the window, looking at the passers-by who occasionally hurried past in the dark night. The eyes of these people all flashed with alertness, and there was more fear in the alertness. If they could, it was obvious that they would prefer themselves.
Don't come out.
The appearance of the people on the list of villains spread quickly in Overlord City, the city gates were closed, and everyone left in Overlord City lived in fear.
From the people who came to the inn during the day, Qin Tian already knew what the villain list was.
The people who are ranked on the list of evildoers are all extremely vicious, and in addition to doing all kinds of bad things, these extremely evil people are also extremely powerful, because all the evildoers who can be on the list of evildoers are...
The ability to escape safely from the hands of the five immortal heritages will only be ranked on the list of evildoers after being confirmed by the five immortal heritages. These are the villains who even find trouble with the five immortal heritages.
Of course, Qin Tian did not want to comment on the so-called villain list. At this time, he was thinking about another thing.
Looking into the distance of the inn, Qin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. Thoughts flashed through his mind, but more of them were the eyes of the little girl at the city gate looking at him.
It was a look without any life, a look that made people feel distressed when they saw it. Although they were strangers to each other, Qin Tian could feel that the little girl must be longing for someone to save her.
In the previous world, Qin Tian had never had this kind of experience, but he had seen this look. It was the first friend he made in the orphanage. That friend could not be said to be a friend. Because at that time Qin Tian
In his mind, his friend had something wrong with his head.
Have you ever seen someone who would take his dream seriously? If he took it seriously, then his friend would go around telling people about it. Naturally, the final result would be that everyone moved further and further away from him. At that time, only Qin Tianyin’s heart
He felt pity and kept listening to his friend's story, but in the eyes of him who was only 5 years old at the time, he just regarded those dreams as stories.
However, some things happened while listening to the story. For example, his friend told him that there was a big earthquake in such and such a place and many people died. Then several months later, he learned from others,
A few months ago there was a big earthquake in a place and many people died.
After listening to what those people said, Qin Tian was filled with shock, but then he figured it out. It was probably his friend who heard the news from someone, and then regarded it as his dream.
If this thing goes on, Qin Tian will not feel anything if he is used to hearing it, but until one day, his friend suddenly becomes silent, and the dreams that he can hear him talking about every day are gone.
However, when no one was around, Qin Tian could often hear uncontrollable crying sounds constantly ringing in the darkness. Sometimes, he would even shed tears for no apparent reason while eating.
This abnormal scene lasted for 4 months. After the aunts who had taken good care of his friend were scared and stayed away because of his friend's behavior, one night, his friend suddenly changed his behavior and his face changed.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Qin Tian, I'm leaving tomorrow, will you miss me?" His friend said inexplicably.
However, Qin Tian understood the meaning of these words. This was often seen in orphanages. Some people were noticed by adults outside and then took them back to be their children. This was the most desired thing for Qin Tian and the others at that time.
This poor guy finally has someone to take care of him, and Qin Tian is naturally happy.
However, his friend was not as happy as he imagined, and instead suddenly started crying again.
"Qin Tian, are we friends?" His friend asked while crying.
"It's a friend." Qin Tian nodded naturally. At that time, he knew one thing very clearly. Many people who left the orphanage later came back to see their friends because they missed their friends in the orphanage, and then gave them to them.
He gave his friends a lot of delicious food, and some of them were even adopted by adoptive families because of missing him.
"If one day I'm going to die, will you come to save me?" Qin Tian clearly remembers that when he said these words, his friend's eyes were full of longing, which was a desire for life.
, nostalgia for life.
It's just that Qin Tian was still young at the time, so he naturally didn't understand this look. He just felt a twinge of pain in his heart, a feeling he didn't like.
"Of course I will come to save you, we are friends." Because he hoped in his heart that his friend would bring good things for him to eat when he went out in the future, Qin Tian naturally knew how to answer.
"Qin Tian, you are so kind. I will remember you. You are my forever friend." After Qin Tian said this, his friend said happily with a smile on his face, and then his friend said sleepily.
Already.
The last thing happened so long ago that Qin Tian can no longer remember clearly. He even forgot what his friend said when he left, holding his shoulders tightly when no one was paying attention. He only remembered that the second time
God, that friend of his was really taken away, by two seemingly kind people.
From then on, Qin Tian naturally had one more thing on his mind: he hoped that his friend would come to see him and bring him something delicious.
This kind of expectation lasted for a month. Qin Tian was looking forward to it day and night, and his friend came as expected. Qin Tian still remembered his excitement at that time.
But when he approached his friend, he was afraid. All the expectations he had been looking forward to disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was fear.
Because he could no longer see a trace of emotion in his friend's eyes. When his friend saw him, there was not even a trace of emotion. It was like looking at an unknown person. No, it was a kind of incomprehensible emotion.
The eyes of people you know are even colder.
If it were just like this, Qin Tian would be sad that he had looked away at most, but Qin Tian could feel that ever since his friend entered the orphanage, he had been looking at him whenever anyone was not paying attention, but his eyes were cold and cold.
indifferent.
After his friend fell down while walking, the sleeves on his wrists were lifted up, revealing his pale wrists, with two words engraved on them.
"friend."
If it was just like this, Qin Tian wouldn't have thought too much at that time, but after his friend left, the next day he learned something from the aunt who took care of him. His friend died and the cause of death was accidental.
Falling from a building.
Qin Tian couldn't remember his expression or mood when he heard the news of his death. He only remembered that he had a dream that night.
In the dream, his friend hugged him and kept crying, saying that he missed him so much. But when Qin Tian asked him in the dream why he didn't come to see him, and then pretended not to know him when he came,
A smile appeared on his friend's face.
"Because we are friends." Qin Tian always remembered that smile. It was a smile that blended sadness, sorrow, happiness, and blessing.
"I won't blame you for not fulfilling what you said. I just hope you can remember me. No matter where you are in the future, you must remember. You once had such a friend, and I will always bless you from afar."
The dream ended here. Qin Tian woke up from his dream and suddenly remembered what he said that night. Those words seemed to be engraved in his mind and could not be erased.
"If one day I'm going to die, will you come to save me?"
"Of course I will save you, we are friends." In Qin Tian's memory, when he said this, he did not remember the appearance of his friend, but the appearance of himself. That was a person full of goodwill.
His face is a face that makes people feel warm when they see it. Even in Qin Tian's eyes, the self in his memory has been beautified ten thousand times.
And it was not until later, when Qin Tian grew up, that every time he saw this picture in his mind, he realized that this was not his own memory, but the memory of his friend. That face was the one in his friend's mind.
of oneself.
His friend didn't want him to forget him, so he left this memory in the hope that he could remember him forever.
However, in this memory, the appearance of his friend was missing.
It wasn't until he grew up that Qin discovered something unusual because of the memories in his mind and the words of his friends. His friend's death could never be an accidental death. His friend seemed to have guessed that he was going to die.
, that’s why I said those words to him, but when Qin Tian suspected this matter, too much time had passed. Even if he wanted to look for clues, there were no clues.
And until today when he saw the little girl's eyes, it was the same look as his friend's when he finally met him. Qin Tiancai understood what his friend had been staring at him at that time. It was an expectant look.
The eyes of hope appeared involuntarily from the bottom of my heart, but the little girl didn't know who could save her, so she looked around aimlessly, while her friend only looked at herself.
That was his friend asking for help from himself, the most important friend in his mind.
"What exactly did you say to me when I left you that day?" The memory that has always been deep in his mind flashed across his mind, and Qin Tian sighed and said.
He vaguely felt that when he left, his friend held his shoulders tightly, and what he said was a very important thing, and it might even be information that could save his friend.
After experiencing so many things, Qin Tian has already felt that his friend is extraordinary. His dreams are most likely not dreams, but the so-called ability to predict. In the last four months, his friend
It was probably because he had a premonition of his own death that he acted like that.
The two things now overlapped, and Qin Tian wanted to save the little girl very much, but Qin Tian had his own worries.
He is very aware of his current state. If something happens to him, the Qin State will definitely be destroyed in ten years. His father, mother, Chen Xi, and everyone in the Qin family will be destroyed.
The strength of the city lord of Overlord City is at the level of a second-level war emperor. This was still the strength ten years ago. Who knows what level it is now. Moreover, the aura he felt after entering Overlord City and the words he said made him understand.
, Overlord City is not a simple place.
"Daodao, what do you think I should do?" Qin Tian asked in his heart, and now only Daodao could allow him to ask freely.
"Master, the road of a warrior is full of thorns. The road is to see through the heart and move forward courageously. You need to make your own decision and act according to your heart." A white light flashed. A snow-white puppy appeared on Qin Tian's shoulder.
, the puppy said softly, speaking human words.
"My heart?" Qin Tian murmured to himself.
"Choose a path that you don't regret. The system will only help you, but it won't let you choose the path." Daodao said.
"It's very simple, but I think what if I regret both things? If I go and something happens, what will Qin do? If I don't go, I will definitely be full of regrets." Qin Tian shook his head and said,
He sighed again, closed the window, and turned around.
"I'm sorry, it's only my fault, but nothing can happen to Qin." Qin Tian sighed softly, as if he was talking to Tao Dao, and also seemed to be warning himself.
Listening to Qin Tian's words, Daodao did not speak, but there was a faint light shining in its black pupils.
........
The moon quietly hid in the clouds, and the passers-by who had been in a hurry disappeared. There was not even a sound of animals, as if to tell the unrest of the night.
As for Yuelai Inn, the window where Qin Tian currently lives suddenly opened quietly, and a black shadow appeared from the window, but disappeared into the air the moment it appeared. No trace appeared, and the originally opened window seemed to be touched by a pair of invisible hands.
Close it gently.
It seemed extremely eerie.
The moment the window was closed, a sleeping little girl suddenly opened her eyes in the room. Her black pupils stared fixedly at the closed window. Then she stood up from the bed, opened the window, and looked in one direction.
"Brother, you left Lianlian alone again." The little girl whispered, her black pupils quietly watching in her eyes, a figure covered with a long cloth disappeared into the distance.
After looking at it for a long time, the little girl's eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the Overlord Tower. Her brows wrinkled slightly, and then her body slowly rose up, her white nightgown dancing in the wind, and her body disappeared into the background.
land.
"Brother, Lianlian will help you block bad things." The little girl's whisper came faintly in the wind.
At this time, Qin Tian was wearing an invisibility cloth and walking on the road to the city lord's palace. Naturally, it was impossible to know what happened to Lian Lian behind him.
He can hide it from anyone, but with Lianlian's sensitivity and understanding of Qin Tian, she can naturally feel that Qin Tian is different today. It's just that her brother didn't tell her, so she didn't ask.
I don't want to make things difficult for my brother.
"You couldn't help it anymore after all." At this time, a fluffy puppy sighed softly on Qin Tian's shoulder. Although he was sighing, a trace of happiness could be seen in the puppy's eyes.
"There is no other way. I can only say that my heart is too unstable, and I will not be in danger during this action. I am not going to fight." Qin Tian said in his heart.
After all, he couldn't hold it back. Whenever he thought of the look in his memory and his friend, Qin Tian couldn't fall asleep.
In the end, he finally figured it out. Since there was no way to hold back, he should go and save him. Of course, there were several ways to save him. Qin Tian had already figured it out when he was in bed.
He is not going to fight this time, he is just going to save the little girl. He just needs to secretly rescue the little girl from the city lord's mansion. As long as he rescues the little girl, Qin Tian will have countless ways to send the little girl back to him safely.
With parents.
It is also very simple to rescue the little girl. With the invisibility cloth, no one can see Qin Tian's movements. He only needs to steal the little girl out secretly. This is a very simple method.
It's just that Qin Tian didn't think much about it at the beginning because he was bound by inertia.
"Ding, the system indicates that due to the actions of the host, the situational mission, rescue, is triggered. The host needs to rescue all the little girls occupied by Liu Yuan without any injuries. The mission reward is a healing heaven-level combat skill, the sweet rain of the earth."
Just when the City Lord's Mansion appeared in Qin Tian's eyes, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Qin Tian's mind.
"No experience." Qin Tian complained in his heart when he heard the system sound in his mind.
Since arriving in the central region, he has completed several tasks, and two of them were actually inexperienced. You must know that experience is the qualification for his advancement. For Qin Tian, experience is the most important.
However, as the thoughts passed through his mind, the voice of resentment sounded in his mind.
"Master, do you know what this is? This is the land of sweet rain. I didn't expect that you would get such a task. You made a lot of money, but you still complained about having no experience. Experience is nothing. As long as you have time, you can get any task.
"
"Is this combat skill so good? But it's just a heaven-level combat skill." Qin Tian was a little curious.
He has heaven-level combat skills, and there are more than one, but he has never seen Daodao so excited.
"Those bullshit heaven-level combat skills are just scraps. Can they be compared with Ganlin Dadi? Master, don't take class too seriously. Some combat skills are not representative of class. For example, Ganlin Dadi, if you let others practice it,
If it is, it can only be a heaven-level combat skill at best, but it is different in your hands. You have the existence of the Life Stone, and the land of sweet rain can exert a terrifying effect in your hands, bringing out the energy of the Life Stone."
Daodao explained.
"Okay, I'll explain to you too much and you won't understand. You'll know when you complete the mission and get the land of sweet rain. It's useless to tell you more now. If you don't complete the mission, it will just be a joy in the sky."
