As soon as he broke through the basement door, a lazy voice reached Lin Sanjiu's ears with a bit of briskness.
Stepping on broken wood chips and standing in the dimly lit corridor, she raised her head.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting the deep night outside the window, dyeing half of the room orange. Standing in the warm and dancing firelight, Qing Jiuli turned his head, looked at Lin Sanjiu, and smiled, showing his white teeth. That
A pair of eyes shrouded by shadows shone brightly like diamonds.
On the other side of him, Ji Shanqing was standing - he looked up and saw Lin Sanjiu coming out. He turned his head slightly, and his long ponytail slid down his face, covering him up and feeling a little embarrassed.
However, his hands, which together with Qing Jiureu firmly pressed the radish on the dining table, did not move at all.
Carrot, whose face was pressed against the table, was surprisingly quiet and did not struggle.
"You all know that I can't be trapped in the basement," Lin Sanjiu didn't move and smiled bitterly.
Kiyokuru tilted his head like a child, still showing a bit of relaxed and lazy drunkenness in his movements.
Whenever he shows this look, everything in the world seems to fade into a blurred background; only Qing Jiuru is the only one who shines, the only important center - no matter what he does, he can make people happy.
My eyes were firmly attracted and I couldn't move away.
This is probably not just because he is good-looking.
"I know," he said vaguely, while the mermaid in his hand was still close to Carrot's ear: "...I don't want to trap you, as long as there is a chance for us to restrain him.
That’s it.”
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Ji Shanqing - the latter had found a knife from nowhere. The thin and sharp metal blade was pressing tightly against the artery of the carrot.
"You two discussed it really fast," she sighed again, "...forget about the whistle, it can be disguised. But what's the sound of the wind outside? Even the house was shaking just now."
"After this guy pushed the [Tornado Whip] back, I quietly handed it to the gift bag," Qingjiuru said while nonchalantly holding a cigarette in his mouth: "Anyway, there were a lot of things on the table at the time.
, if you collect them in a hurry, you won’t find any missing ones.”
Lin Sanjiu was startled - if there had been only whistles just now, it meant that the dimensional crack was still far away, and she would not have become nervous so quickly; but she did not expect that Qingjiu Liu had already thought of everything and used her own things to call her up
Got it right.
...Only a companion she trusts can quietly let her fall into such a trap.
"Then you-"
She was just about to ask, "What are your plans?" Unexpectedly, she was only halfway through her words. Luo Bao suddenly came back to her senses at this moment. As soon as the effect of the mermaid disappeared, he immediately realized the current situation and started to fight desperately.
He twisted and struggled while yelling: "You bastard! Let me go!"
It seemed that Luobo was not afraid of the knife in Ji Shanqing's hand at all. After a few flutters, his neck and face were cut with bloody cuts by his own resistance - but when the blood came from
When it slid down his cheek, Carrot smiled with resentment.
"You guys made the wrong calculation!"
His face turned blood red, he gasped, and spat viciously on the table. "I belong to the Visa Officers Association, haven't you heard? All visa officers from the twelve realms are here.
When joining the association, everyone will swear to the same principle: they would rather lose their lives than issue a visa under any force!"
Of course Lin Sanjiu knew - this rule could be said to be known to everyone in the Twelve Realms. She had already heard it once when she was in the Red Nautilus. It was this rule that deterred her.
and protection, visa officers have the status they have today; because it involves group interests, when the Visa Officers Association discovers that someone has violated their oath, they will even take the initiative to issue a fatwa against both parties - those who are willing to be killers for the Visa Officers Association
People naturally have as many as they want.
Coercing the visa officer by force is not only a matter of endless trouble, but also may result in nothing but a dead body - Luo Bao probably thought of this, and struggled even more fiercely at this time; he was determined to eat a few times
I personally didn't dare to do anything to him, so I was even more careless. At this time, I shouted with a strong attitude: "If you don't let me go now, just wait for the random teleportation! Let me tell you, even if a visa officer really dies,
That’s because they don’t want to give people visas for free!”
"You've said so much," Qingjiuru turned around and spoke softly, half-squinting his eyes and blowing a puff of smoke into his face; the white smoke filled the air enchantingly in the light of the candlelight. "...It's nothing more than that.
You thought we were asking you to apply for a visa."
Not only Lin Sanjiu, but also Carrot was stunned: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Qingjiuru smiled as if he had heard something interesting, his white teeth shining in the dim candlelight: "Issuing a visa can only solve the problem once, I plan to solve it once and for all."
Carrot blinked his eyes in confusion.
Qing Jiuliu didn't answer, but turned his gaze back and glanced at Lin Sanjiu. The firelight sculpted his profile into a smooth, beautiful, almost shocking silhouette. He smiled slightly and said softly to her: "...This
Just leave the matter alone."
This was the second time Lin Sanjiu heard this sentence from him. This time, as soon as he finished speaking, the tip of Ji Shanqing's knife had already penetrated deeply into Carrot's carotid artery.
Thin pillars of blood erupted into countless splashing black shadows under the candlelight; Gift Bao squinted his eyes and saw that blood had been slapped all over his face, and then slid down his skin, and half of his coat had been dyed through.
. He closed his eyes, and instead of pulling out the knife in his hand, he stabbed it deeper again - when Carrot's body completely stopped twitching like a fish out of water, he gently let go.
hand.
The black knife handle protruded from his neck. Ji Shanqing took a step back, and the heavy body lost its support, and suddenly fell to the floor with a "gudong" - the eyes pointed at the ceiling
, still staring roundly, confusion and ridicule still clearly remaining on Carrot's face.
When Ji Shanqing's knife suddenly penetrated the artery of Carrot, Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and avoided looking; she pressed her knuckles between her eyebrows, and when she heard blood splattering on the floor, she finally sighed deeply.
, and understood Qing Jiuli’s purpose.
This man seems to be able to cross that line at any time without any burden; when he wants to do something, for him, there are no taboos in the world.
Qingjiu Liu didn't even look at her, but lazily said to Ji Shanqing: "Try it."
Ji Shanqing wiped away the blood and suddenly called softly: "Sister."
Lin Sanjiu raised her head and found a newly formed visa lying flat on the open palm of the gift bag - the content of the visa could not be seen clearly from her point of view, but the card shimmered under the candlelight.
It's exactly a visa.
"It's 'Olympic'," Ji Shanqing said to her softly, approaching her gently, as if she were an easily frightened little animal: "...my ability has changed now, it has become [times]
Visa Officer]. Sister, we can go to the next world together, and you can continue to protect the great witch."
Yes, gift bags have actually killed many people——
Lin Sanjiu looked at him with her mouth open, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. Just when she was silent, Qing Jiuliu put the cigarette in his hand, suddenly smiled and said: "...relaxed.
Sound right?"
Lin Sanjiu was startled and raised her head to stare at him.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't mean anything else."
Qing Jiuliu turned his eyes away from her, as if he knew how Lin Sanjiu was feeling at this moment - when the deepest emotions in a person's heart, which are so secret that even he is not aware of them, are suddenly exposed to the light of day, that feeling...
The shame of not wearing clothes is the most unwelcome to an audience.
Looking at the wall on the other side, Qingjiureu opened his mouth slightly, and an illusory dream-like white smoke surrounded his lips and teeth, making him look like he was in the clouds.
"You are a good person, you have conscience and principles." He said softly, and every word passed clearly into Lin Sanjiu's ears. "...Every time I hear someone say, so and so and so and so
There are no other advantages, but when you are very kind, I just want to laugh. People who live in a civilized society without the opportunity or courage to break the law, every damn person thinks that they are very kind and a good person - a good person
Suddenly it became the cheapest compliment in the world. Frankly speaking, I still want to vomit."
Lin Sanjiu's breathing quickened slightly.
"And you, you are different. I have never seen someone who has experienced so many worlds after the end of the world and is still the same as you..." Qingjiuliu said this, seeming to be unable to find the right words; he paused,
Then he continued: "...You remind me of the knights in the Middle Ages, who were moving towards the light even in the dark."
"Who am I?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't say the word "good guy", so he laughed self-deprecatingly and wiped his face: "As you said, I... I saw him dead, and I felt relieved.
tone."
"Because you are still alone, this is understandable." Qingjiuru turned his head and narrowed his eyes. "Being a person who adheres to principles is a far heavier burden than you realize."
"Having been with you for so long, I found that you only kill people when you fight back or have no choice," Qingjiuru said with a smile, "Honestly, I admire this. But it's me who kills Carrots.
His style of doing things - I killed him, I felt happy, it had nothing to do with you."
"You just said that to make me feel better," Lin Sanjiu continued with a wry smile, "I asked you to do all the bad things——"
"Shut up." Qingjiu Liu suddenly threw the cigarette butt towards her. A ray of fire drew a parabola in the dim air, fell into a pool of blood and went out.
He suddenly stood up - he was leaning lazily on the table just now, but now it seemed that Lin Sanjiu had finally worn out his patience. He strode over and stood in front of Lin Sanjiu with his arms folded. Look at the gift bag.
Look at this, look at that, but actually said nothing.
"You are just a mortal. Principles are not so easy to stick to."
"Admit your limitations, admit that you can't do it this time, and accept this fact. How you treat this fact in the future is your business; but remember, you are just a mortal, and you can only try to treat a good person like a good person.
Take a little longer, because this is too difficult.”
Miraculously, Lin Sanjiu felt a sense of relaxation slowly emerge from deep within her body, as if someone had lifted a heavy thing off her shoulders; or as if she had slowly walked across a pool of water.
In the hot water, along with this almost liberating relaxation, a deep fatigue also enveloped her.
Didn't she know that it was more satisfying to do whatever she wanted for the sake of profit? So she was deeply afraid that once she got started and was tempted, she would no longer be able to stop the downward trend - along with this thought came Lin Sanjiu
Unknowingly, I am becoming more and more demanding on myself; it seems that the longer I live in the apocalypse, the less I dare to let go.
Lin Sanjiu stared at the corpse on the ground for a while. Countless thoughts seemed to flash through his mind, but he seemed to think of nothing at all.
After a few minutes, she looked at the two silent people beside her.
"...If we kill him, how will we explain it to Si Lu and the others?" She breathed out a breath, and when she raised her eyes again, the usually clear amber color looked almost pure black in the firelight. "We can't give away the gift bag.
go out."
"Four visa officers have already died. It doesn't matter if one more dies." Ji Shanqing said with a slight smile - as if he was relieved. Of course, for him, human death is not actually a problem.
Not too important: "We can send a letter right now telling them not to come."
"Wait a minute," Qingjiuliu suddenly waved his hand, "...you have forgotten that the visa officers killed by the mysterious killer had another characteristic."
Lin Sanjiu had just experienced a huge ups and downs in her mood. She didn't understand what he meant for a while, so she just looked at him blankly. Seeing the two of them turning around and walking to the body, she immediately remembered.
...Every visa officer who died was looted.
"If you insist on carrying forward your style and don't want to take anything, I won't object -" Qingjiuru grabbed the ankle of the corpse and shook the dead carrot from head to toe: "Although I personally think this is meaningless.
——Everyone is dead anyway, so why not reuse the waste? Oh, you really don’t want it?”
He withdrew his gaze, suddenly waved his hand, and threw the [military compressed heat] he had just found on the dining table: "Okay, then don't eat it until you starve to death."
Kiyokuru clearly knew that she had been hungry for a long time.
Lin Sanjiu covered her face, not knowing what to say to him; after a while, she cursed in a hoarse voice and snatched the [Military Compressed Heat] on the table: "You are simply a devil.
!”
"The psychological consultation fee of three thousand US dollars an hour is not in vain." Qingjiu Liu responded lazily, his body just blocking Lin Sanjiu's sight of the corpse.
When a piece of 1,200kj invisible heat was slapped into Lin Sanjiu's skin, she suddenly lowered her eyes when she heard the slap sound.
Although this amount of heat was not much, it still injected a strange warmth into her body - as if her organs were being nourished. Lin Sanjiu could clearly feel that her energy was getting stronger bit by bit.
The two items [Oops! My wallet is missing] and [Unfinished Painting], which had been taken away by Carrot before and had not been turned into cards, were quickly pulled out by the two of them and placed on the table; compressed heat and small
The trash cans were filled with radish that had been taken out but not put back, so they were found immediately - but most of his things seemed to be hidden in some kind of storage tool. It took the two of them a long time to find it, but they found out that it was him.
There's something wrong with my pants.
No matter what it is, as long as it slides along the seam of his trousers, it will instantly slide into the seam of his trousers and disappear - the entire trousers are just a storage prop!
"Even so, I don't want to wear his pants," Ji Shanqing wrinkled his face, "The pants are smelly."
"I don't want it either," Qingjiu concluded, "his legs are too short."
Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips and sat silently - the change came too fast, and she still had to digest it.
"Huh?"
The gift bag suddenly let out an exclamation, which made Lin Sanjiu jump and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
The two people sitting on the ground turned their heads together, their eyes bright.
"He has a lot of stuff on him..."
