The surface of the cold iron sheet was stained with rust, rotten leftovers and maggots were scurrying around, and the smelly smell kept pouring into the tip of his nose. Boom remained motionless, like a plaster sculpture. Rikka, on the other hand, squinted her eyes and hugged his arms tightly.
.
Ten minutes passed, and the dark alley remained as usual, and no suspicious person appeared. Two hours passed, and the shops in the black market closed one after another, and wild dogs and wild cats patrolled their respective territories. Four hours passed, and at dawn,
The morning light lit up Aogu City, and the noise filled the air, reminding everyone that a new day was coming.
However, Boom always stared at his bloodshot eyes, observing everyone who passed by, even the drunken man in ragged clothes. As for Rikka behind him, he had already fallen asleep, and the slight snoring came in.
Although he was a little helpless in Boom's ears, he did not wake him up after all.
"Is it true that Rikka got a big deal? Impossible! It must be impossible!" After the sky became completely bright, Boom first twisted his sore neck, and then gently patted Rikka awake. One night can't prove anything.
He needs an answer, an accurate answer.
"Tell me what happened last night in detail, don't leave out any details." Boom did not look back, let alone criticize, as if he was a passerby listening to other people's stories, waiting for the other person to tell the ending.
The matter was originally very simple. Rikka explained everything from her thoughts before walking out of the hospital to her every move after returning. Meanwhile, Boom next to her asked questions from time to time until more than half an hour later.
, and the silence returned again in the tin trash can.
Rikka was a little scared, because in her mind, the last time she offended her brother for some reason, she was almost sold to the black market. But this time she was even more outrageous. Not only did she sneak out of the courtyard without permission, but she also had sex with her.
Strangers had close contact and even traded magic crystals.
She lowered her head as she was thinking wildly, completely ignoring the sour smelling garbage around her. Compared with them, her current situation was not much better.
"Don't come out here. I'm going to get some food. If you are discovered, run away. As long as you are alive, I can find you." Boom confirmed the situation outside again and whispered to Rikka. p>
"Brother, you,,,will you come back?" Seeing that Boom was going to leave her alone, Rikka asked timidly.
"Don't ask me to repeat the same words again. This time it's your fault and mine. Just wait!" Boom's body froze for a moment, and then a complex look appeared between his eyebrows, but his steps became more determined.
And powerful.
Dead silence! Cold! Sticky! Wandering! All kinds of extremely negative emotions were infinitely amplified, and finally penetrated into the girl's body. Time passed slowly, and the originally innocent little face became more and more dull, and a pair of soft hands were made of
Pink and white, transitioning to golden yellow, and finally turning into two tan short blades.
Mysterious magic runes leak out of the chest, and with the breathing, a dot like a bud is printed on the forehead, gradually squirming and stretching. Six flowers! The six-petal flower blooms quietly!
"Who am I? Where is this? Brother! Where is brother?" Rikka, whose image has changed, seems a little slow. This is the first time she has shown the ability of a contracted beast.
"You can't go out! You have to wait here! You can't go out! You have to wait here..." Rikka, who was a little distracted, closed his eyes, tilted his head and fell asleep. As a newly born contracted beast,
Being able to maintain combat status for more than ten minutes without any magic crystal replenishment can be called a miracle.
Dreams are beautiful because of illusion, but cruel because of reality. Liuhua had a very beautiful dream, which was a gray-white space, with flowers planted outside the small yard, and three stone houses surrounded by big trees. She was curious
Pushing the door and walking in, the figure in the window was so familiar, and the appearance of working hard confirmed my guess. Brother, brother, it turns out you are hiding here, I am Rikka! Your sister Rikka!
But she, who had just shouted, was stunned on the spot. She saw the space slowly twisting and deforming, flowers decaying and falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, the seemingly solid stone houses collapsed one after another, and her brother's figure was like a clay sculpture
Melted, and finally collapsed to the ground with a ferocious expression.
"Wake up! Wake up! What's wrong with you?" A familiar voice sounded again, and Rikka was instantly pulled out of her dreamland by a suction force. She was still in the trash can, and the surroundings were still full of filth, but when she came back to her senses, she
He hugged the other person's waist tightly and put his head into the warm embrace.
"You're not still in the mood to have nightmares now, are you? Get up and eat quickly, we have things to do tonight." Although Boom's words were still a bit mean, he still patted Rikka's head as a sign of
Comfort.
"Brother, I'm sorry, why don't we run away and move back to the wooden houses in the slums." Rikka stuffed the black bread into her mouth and whispered softly.
"Look again, you said that the man is a servant of a certain noble, and the magic crystals sold are stolen goods. If what you say is true, bad things will become good things, otherwise we will be in big trouble." Boom.
On the way out, several consequences have been predicted, but the final truth will only be revealed at night.
People after a day's work were walking on the stone road, some with food hanging on their waists, and some with weapons hidden in their arms. Under the night, two figures shuttled through the black market, heading straight to the trading place.
"Remember, the purpose of today is not some bullshit magic crystal business, but to find out the identity of the other party. But if the other party does not keep the appointment, you can just run back to the slums and don't think too much about the future.
Use it." Boom squatted in a stable and whispered to Rikka beside him.
The same time, the same position, the same thin body, the same transaction process. The expected dangerous situation did not appear. Instead, after Rikka separated from the man, she made a strange gesture when passing the stable where Boom was hiding. This
The gesture is a kind of gesture that the two people have agreed on before, which means that everything is going smoothly and without any mistakes.
But Boom, who was naturally cautious, did not relax his vigilance. He no longer glanced at Rikka, but quietly followed the man who left in a hurry. As for the direction Rikka was heading, it was still the trash can where the two were hiding.<
/p>
As a person who has been living in the slums for many years, Boom is familiar with following people like this. I saw him floating behind the man from a distance and then near, sometimes stopping to look around, sometimes turning around and turning into a certain shop.
In. More than half an hour later, Boom's feet stopped and stopped at the familiar wooden house area.
"Ahem...Ahem, Dad, this is so bitter, can I eat it again later?" The little girl's voice reached Boom's ears from the wooden house. She seemed a little weak, and she felt that her end was approaching.
A hazy feeling.
"Be good, eat everything. Only after you eat can you feel better. Only when you feel better can you build a snowman with your father." The man's voice was trembling, but there was always a smile on his face.
The biting cold wind blew the lion flags, and the guards on duty made excuses to hide in the bar. Unexpectedly, the man who traded magic crystals with Rikka was really a poor man, and his reason for stealing the magic crystals was
Maybe it's because of the sick girl.
But this world is like this. Some people are not only born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but also born with mountains of gold and silver, while some are always mediocre and even have to experience countless sufferings before death. But this is everyone's
Fate cannot be avoided or avoided. The only one you can rely on is yourself.
Boom has never been a cold-blooded beast, but he is not kind enough to give away the gold coins he exchanged for his life. In his eyes, the only thing he cares about now is the sister who depends on him for life. Therefore, Boom not only did not enjoy watching the
It was a human tragedy, and he showed sadness, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He cultivated the magic crystal that he desperately needed, and finally had a solution.
"Come out, let's go home!" Boom stood in front of the trash can, his voice a little tired.
"Hehe, I just said that person is not a bad guy. This time it was my brother who was wrong. Please apologize to my sister quickly!" Although Rikka felt a little aggrieved, her face turned into a smile.
"Be careful next time you go out. Remember, your life is the most important in everything. And, I'm sorry for..." Rikka, who was following Boom, clapped her hands happily when she heard this, but then stuck out her tongue and said
The figure was hidden in the shadows. A smile appeared on the former's face, but it was instantly replaced by coldness.
