He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 44 Greedy Wolf

The limbs of countless mimics were piled up in the temple. Amidst the undiminished panic and piercing sounds, the last mimic fell from the edge of the temple to the red sand hill.

The sun outside was getting hotter and hotter, burning the mountain walls red.However, the white mist in the temple dissipated, and it was still cold.

Vargo froze in place until a tentacle landed at his feet.Disgusting clear secretions still trying to cover the living thing.

"Be careful." Su Ling stabbed the undead worm with a knife, and then passed Wa Ge.

He didn't seem to recognize himself.

Wag was a little disappointed.

He hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to catch up, someone in the crowd raised his hands and knelt down on the ground, saying "Thank you sir, thank you sir".

One after another, many did.

It seems that standing in the shadow in the corner is really a god.

However, at this time, a person from behind shouted in panic: "He, he is a humanoid weapon! Get out of here!"

Su Ling heard those movements.He paused, did not look up, but glanced at the terminal.

Xiao Huaiyan never responded.

At this time, the villagers next to him started to make noise.

A young man pointed in the direction of Suling and shouted to the others: "Are you all crazy? He is a humanoid weapon! He kills mimics as easily as crushing an ant. If he goes crazy, then we They must all be buried here—”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The young man's feet were empty, and he was horrified to find that he was picked up by the collar.

Lian Xiao stared at him viciously: "Su Ling is our companion, whoever we are, he is whoever we are, and he will never harm human beings."

The man flinched instantly, and then straightened his neck to argue: "You, you can't guarantee, why do you say that."

"It was Suling who saved you just now," Wagga said. Suling was still standing in the distance, and he raised his voice. "He also saved all of us. Everyone saw it. The difference between us and mimics is, It is because we know good and evil, and we can distinguish between good and evil."

The surrounding villagers all echoed: "That's right, we all saw it just now."

"What will happen in the future, no one can tell. From this point of view, he is the same as us."

"The "Regulations on the Protection of Humanoid Weapons" are about to come out, so it won't happen."

……

The man was speechless, thinking of the scene just now, felt a little ashamed again, lowered his face and did not speak.

Lian Xiao gave a cold snort like a warning, let go of his hand, and folded his arms to deal with the pile of mimic corpses.

The young man looked at it for a while, then walked slowly to Su Ling while everyone was busy, bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Thank you."

Su Ling's daze was interrupted by him, and he glanced at him quietly.The man said nothing more, turned his head and left.

"Su Ling, don't argue with him," Wag lowered his head uncomfortably, "his family members were injured by humanoid weapons many years ago, and there is a big shadow. You know, our people here are fine. It’s easy to be overreacted with knowledge.”

Su Ling shook his head and didn't care.

Wagger said sincerely, "Thank you for saving us today. If it weren't for you, we might all be dead."

He didn't dare to look at Su Ling, and his tone became hesitant: "Is that cat still alive? I really didn't mean it at that time. Someone threatened me, and I had no choice."

"Yeah." Su Ling said.

"...you know?" Wag raised his head in surprise.

"The catnip room is not yours."

Wag was taken aback, and knew what he was talking about, but he still said awkwardly: "My room is the one facing west at No. 73."

"You, you have to be careful." Wager hesitated for a moment, but still reminded.

In the center of the temple, Wang Yunxi and Lian Xiao directed the villagers to light a fire.Mimics make that stench even worse when they're charred.

The gray-haired old village chief walked up to Su Ling and bowed solemnly to thank him.However, when he raised his head, he was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him incredulously: "——It's you?!"

Su Ling's eyes showed confusion: "Who are you?"

The old village chief stared at him for a long time, then sighed, "That's right, more than 170 years have passed. At that time, I was only as high as my knees."

At that time, giant red spiders were rampant in Toyota Star.He was still a naive and ignorant child, playing in the field ridges, and was chased across the rice field when he happened to meet him.Fortunately, someone rescued him.

"I will always remember the appearance of that benefactor. His shadow is very long in the setting sun."

The old village chief seemed to have remembered something, and opened his terminal unskillfully.He leaned close to the holographic screen for a long time, opened the folder repeatedly, and finally called up a photo.

It was a remake of an old photo, and the picture was already blurry.A group photo with five people on it.

"This is me," the old village chief swiped his finger from the child to the rightmost person in the second row, and looked at Su Ling, "This is the benefactor."

The person in the photo is tall and thin, with short light-colored hair. Although the face is a bit unclear, you can still see the pair of plain eyes.

Su Ling stared at the photo.He was almost certain that that person was himself.

At least, someone who looks like him.

Seeing his confused expression, the old village chief sighed.

"What... what was he doing here at that time?" Su Ling asked.

The old village chief pulled out those few details from his long memory: "He seemed to be looking for something, but Toyota Star didn't have what he wanted. So at that time, he said he was leaving."

"Where to go?"

"It seems to be, go home. He didn't say where he was, only that it was far away. Since then, I have been paying attention to their race, but I have never seen it again. Until decades ago, there was a The runaway humanoid weapon injured someone in our village, and was later taken away. That person's number is—" The old village chief tried hard to find clues.

Su Ling guessed, "A001?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. He seems to be completely under control. I can see that he is in a state of great pain. Do you recognize him? Is he all right now?"

There was concern in those old eyes.

Su Ling thought for a while and said, "He's going home soon."

"That's good."

The old village head was relieved.Thinking of the past, he suddenly laughed with relief, "I never thought that I would still see him in my lifetime. Perhaps, this is also something that is destined in the dark."

He copied that old photo to Suling, and put one hand on his chest when he parted.

"Hope you find what you want soon. The great God of the universe bless you."

The Red Sand Mountain gradually disappeared from sight.Lian Xiao was so tired that he fell asleep, he couldn't even be woken up by the loud music in the car.

Wang Yunxi was answering the communication: "...Yeah, it's over with us. OK, everything is going well for them, and those brats from the Imperial College are doing quite well. You let that brat surnamed Xiao speak— —”

At the same time, Su Ling pressed Xiao Huaiyan's terminal again.

"What?!" Wang Yunxi punched the steering wheel with a hideous face, "He ran away? Where did he go?"

"Stop." Su Ling said.

The car came to a sudden brake.

Wang Yunxi lowered the car window and followed Su Ling's line of sight to see the black hole in the distance.

There seemed to be a light ship parked in mid-air, silver like a cloud.

"Damn, is he crazy, how did he get in?" Wang Yunxi frowned and complained, "Who dares to crawl in to collect his body——"

Su Ling looked at her.

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Yunxi patted the control panel of the unmanned ship, wishing to take out his heart: "Ancestor, this thing is very expensive. It may not be as expensive as yours, but it is also super expensive. This is not only from Toyota Star. Public property, or historical cultural relics, are not even insured by insurance companies. It must not be damaged—even if the mimics come to sleep, it cannot be damaged.”

After getting Su Ling's obedient nod, Wang Yunxi exited the cockpit and confirmed again before closing the door: "It will stay right under that position for three seconds, you seize the opportunity."

The unmanned ship is ready to launch.

At the same time, Xiao Huaiyan slowly opened his eyes in the cold cave.The lingering stench reached Tianling Gai from his nostrils, almost making his eyes go black, and he almost fainted again.

He slowed down for a few minutes and gradually regained consciousness.However, his whole body was sore and limp, and he couldn't lift his strength, and even his breathing was vain.

The last image he could recall was of being attacked by a mimic in the clock tower of Imperial College.He almost thought he was going to die, but he seemed to hear Su Ling's voice.

What about Suling...how is he? !

Xiao Huaiyan took off the earplugs and heard some wind.After a while, I barely got up.

Here the oxygen is thin, the pressure is too high, and the light comes from the other end.

A terminal lights up not far away.There were also three short guns lying there.

A hot stream dripped down the nasal cavity, and the fishy smell was unbearable.

Xiao Huaiyan subconsciously wiped off the blood with his hands, but the next moment, he saw that his hands and back were covered with some kind of dark blue liquid.

The clothes were all dirty, and the stone walls were covered with mucous membranes.

The discomfort in his stomach woke him up a little.But it seemed that the blue thing had just accidentally rubbed against his nose and entered his nasal cavity along with the air.

——As long as you take a breath, your whole lungs will feel like burning pain.

Dizzy, he struggled to pick up the terminal and the gun.There are several missed calls on the terminal.

They were all from Suling.

He should be in a safe place.

Xiao Huaiyan thought, maybe he was hijacked by mimics.What kind of conditions can this kind of bug negotiate, and shouldn't it be asking for a lot of money?

It should be difficult to find him in Suling.

No, there is no known danger here.Su Ling shouldn't rush over now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huaiyan suddenly stopped his difficult steps, turned sideways, and illuminated his back with the light of the terminal.

In that deep and strange darkness, lay a mimic.The thing nearly filled the cavern, and blue fluid dripped from its bottom.

This thing is completely different from other mimics he has seen, piled up like a hill of sarcoma.The tentacles are all translucent, paralyzed in the dark green slime.

Suddenly, the tentacle moved.As if returning to life, there was a rustling sound.

Xiao Huaiyan immediately turned around and moved towards the place with faint light.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but he only knew that the burning feeling was getting stronger.Even his head began to groggy, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

No, no.He can't stay here.

He had to tell Suling.

But no matter how much he presses the terminal, nothing happens.

Damn it, my throat is like a knife poking through countless holes, and I can't make any normal sounds.

He didn't turn his head, and the increasingly violent voices behind him became louder.And he felt that the gravity has changed here——

He climbed the stone wall, as if climbing up.There seemed to be a vortex below, sucking everything in the cave without restraint, including the tentacles that were chasing him.

Xiao Huaiyan closed his eyes and slowed down his breathing, letting the burning sensation in his lungs help him stay awake.

At the moment when the frontmost tentacles were about to entangle him, he suddenly stepped into the air, and his whole body fell towards the dazzling white light.

It was, he realized, a gravitationally reversed, light-sucking cave.

The violent sound of the wind enveloped him in an instant.

However, the feeling of falling only lasted for a short three seconds.

He fell into the body of the blizzard convertible, and fell with him again.There was a familiar clear smell in the unbearable breath.

At this time, an extremely small voice rang in his ears.

Su Ling was sitting in the driver's seat, carefully and calmly looking for key buttons on the console.The moment he sensed the danger, Xiao Huaiyan almost bumped into him.

A sharp tentacle chased out from the black circle that was gradually disappearing, and was cut off by Su Ling when it was about to penetrate Xiao Huaiyan's left shoulder, and the short section left was immediately pulled out.

The moment the insect nest disappeared, the tentacles became several pieces and fell from the air.

Su Ling held Xiao Huaiyan in his arms, and saw that the shirt on his back was gradually covered with blood.Some kind of subtle sense of touch stabbed Su Ling densely, and he subconsciously covered the wound there with his hands.

Xiao Huaiyan snorted in pain, grabbed Su Ling's shoulder, and squeezed out a pale smile at him, his voice broken because of the pain.

"I can also... yes, protect you."

Su Ling's breath stopped, and the hand covering the wound was a little heavier.Immediately, he accurately clicked a button on the console.The body transformed into the appearance of a light ship, and quickly made a detour before approaching the ground, avoiding the outcome of a direct car crash.

Finally, the blizzard came to a solid stop on the edge of a lake.

Su Ling looked at Xiao Huaiyan's hand holding the corner of his clothes, there was something blue on it, which had already formed a membrane.But in short, Xiao Huaiyan, who was unconscious, woke up with a start, and retched while pawing at the snowstorm's car door.

The still bright sunlight shone on the surface of the lake, as if those jumping ripples also fell on Xiao Huaiyan's body.

He looked dazed and very embarrassed.The invincible appearance of the past is gone.

After a while, Xiao Huaiyan barely recovered.He pulled out a handkerchief from a drawer in Blizzard, stuffed it into Su Ling's hand, and moved over.

Su Ling thought of the kiss on the forehead when they parted, but he didn't avoid it.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Huaiyan's voice was unbearably hoarse, his peach blossom eyes were both confused and wronged, "Can you wipe my eyes for me?"

Su Ling paused, and leveled the back of the seat for him.

The soft and clean silk handkerchief gently rubbed over the noble eyebrows, the high bridge of the nose, and wiped away the dirt bit by bit.

Su Ling looked at him quietly.

I don't know why, but the hanging heart in my chest seems to have finally calmed down.

But, how on earth did he make himself like this.

After a while, Xiao Huaiyan didn't seem so uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes, looked in the direction of Suling vaguely, and asked in a low voice, "You take me to see the lake?"

The tone was inexplicably unrealistically joyful.

Su Ling turned off the control panel, turned back and glanced at the medical staff who rushed over, and couldn't bear to dismiss his hopes, so he gave a shallow "hmm".

Xiao Huaiyan seemed very satisfied with the response, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and occasionally he frowned uncomfortably.But it didn't take long before he fell asleep due to exhaustion.
