"Do you still need to ask?" Ai Qing sneered. "My cousin is afraid, isn't he? He's in a hurry to find someone to form an alliance with. "
Huai Shi looked at Yin Yan and asked seriously, "Why me?"
"At least you're more conscientious than my cousin, and you're less like a traitor than the others. Is this reason enough?" Yin Yan asked.
From the beginning, he knew that Huai Shi was definitely going to do something.
Relying on his Divine Mark, he hid here and witnessed the whole process. He knew that Huai Shi's actions didn't seem to be fake, and then he appeared.
"One of you is a vampire, and the other is a believer … Hey, what the Holy Spirit lineage wants to do on the ship has nothing to do with me, and my secret has nothing to do with you."
Yin Yan asked, "I'll help you, and you help me. How about that?"
"Alliance?" Huai Shi asked cautiously.
"To be honest, compared to others, I don't trust your family's magical conch more." Yin Yan said indifferently. "We can't form an alliance, but if we do, it's one more insurance."
"Don't let go." Ai Qing seemed to see what he was hiding behind his indifferent face. "He's here to ask for help. Force him to take out something."
Seeing Huai Shi's serious face, Yin Yan asked, "If I'm not wrong, she should be asking you to put on a negotiating face to deal with me, right?"
Huai Shi was silent. He felt that he had become a platform for the siblings to fight.
"It doesn't matter. I have a free information for you."
Yin Yan said calmly. "Last night, I hid at the entrance of the warehouse and saw with my own eyes that Lei Feizhou and others worked together to chop off Yue Jun's head. How about it? Is this information important enough? "
As he spoke, he enjoyed the stunned expression on Huai Shi's face and showed a mocking smile. "You're not the only one who's become capable these years, 'sister'."
This title always sounded meaningful, and it was hard to tell whether it was affectionate or resentful.
"What do you want?" Ai Qing asked directly.
"How about you help me kill that old man, Koosche?" Yin Yan suddenly said.
"No." Huai Shi conveyed Ai Qing's answer, "The price you want is too high."
Until now, he still hadn't reacted, and he couldn't figure out whether this was Yin Yan's trick or his true purpose. He was even a little skeptical about the news he had told him.
"You just have to help when necessary. How about it?" Yin Yan said, "Before that, just don't get in the way."
"Do you agree?" Huai Shi asked.
"Of course, why not?" Ai Qing said calmly, "At worst, we'll just go back on our word."
Eh! You guys are all dirty when it comes to tactics!
Huai Shi nodded helplessly.
"Very good." Yin Yan looked at him deeply. "I will come to you when necessary."
He took a step back, and his figure disappeared. He only saw the door open and close.
After the previous incident, he seemed to have learned his lesson and didn't leave any traces for Huai Shi to track. Huai Shi didn't even know if he was still in this room.
However, there wasn't much time left.
He sighed and reached out his hand. "Let's go. We need to leave this place quickly."
Hila stared at him for a long time.
It was only when Huai Shi couldn't wait any longer that she grabbed Huai Shi's hand.
"Let's go," she said.
Huai Shi waved his arm and threw her into the ventilation duct.
After a short crawling forward, Huai Shi suddenly heard a faint voice in front of him. "Thank you."
"Ah, you're welcome."
He subconsciously looked up and saw the sole of a shoe rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes and kicking his face. "Don't look!"
"Okay, okay."
Only then did Huai Shi remember that she was wearing a dress. He quickly lowered his head and pretended not to see anything as he crawled forward. Soon, the ventilation duct came to an end.
Hila jumped down.
In the silence, Huai Shi sighed, wiped the shoe print on his face, and jumped down.
Then, he froze on the spot.
He saw the youth leaning against the wall in front of the broken porthole and the blood spreading to his feet.
An orange cat sat quietly in the pool of blood, bent down, and slowly licked the corpse that still had the aura of life just a moment ago.
He took his time eating his meal.
Hila.
It was as if she had been torn apart. Before she landed, she had already been shattered into several pieces.
Her pale face stared blankly at the crack in the ceiling. Until the last moment, until death, there was still a smile on her lips that Huai Shi had never seen before.
It was gentle like the morning dew, so light that it was about to evaporate under the sun.
Huai Shi looked away and didn't dare to look again.
He raised his head and looked at the Pharaoh from Egypt. The Pharaoh was also looking at him with a smile that was not only caring but also mocking.
"I see that you seem to have been held hostage by that woman. It's okay to come over and help, right?"
In the long silence, Huai Shi clenched and unclenched his fists.
After a long time, he raised his head and smiled gratefully.
"No." He lowered his head deeply. "Thank you for your help, Your Excellency."
"That's good. Haha, hahahahaha."
The Pharaoh enjoyed his grateful look and laughed happily. He waved at the cat on the ground. "Let's go, Sphinx."
The cat reluctantly licked the blood that was still warm, then turned around and left with its owner.
Only Huai Shi still stood where he was, maintaining his bowing posture of gratitude.
After a long, long time.
He said softly, "Ai Qing, I must kill him."
.
When Huai Shi returned to the scene, the trial had already ended.
Not long after, someone discovered that the prisoner tried to escape and was killed by the Pharaoh himself. Although no one could sentence Hila to death in the name of the Dark World, no one was bold enough to run to the Pharaoh and say that it was too disappointing. Everyone hadn't had a good time yet.
The dark creatures were definitely experts at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Moreover, after being surrounded and suppressed by the Holy Spirit lineage for so many years, those with noble morals had probably all died long ago. The pope that often appeared in novels was a bad ghost, and the dark creatures were all heroes. Most of the time, things that happened would not appear.
They were just a group of frightened birds, and they were even scared out of their wits. When they saw a believer appear on the ship, they screamed and wanted to call for their mother.
Would the New World really give them a place to stay?
Huai Shi took a deep look at the empty courtroom and turned to leave. She turned around and returned to her room.
When he pushed open the door, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
"Sorry, that room is a little dirty, so I came to your place."
On the chair in front of the window, the girl who was reading looked up. Her silver hair shone with a metallic glow under the oil lamp.
It was Hila.
Huai Shi looked at her in a daze. His lips opened, but he didn't know what to say.
"You … You're not …"
"It's just a 'double body' trick." Hila tilted her head and looked at him. "Haven't you seen it before?"
Double body, Doppelgänger.
It meant that two people with similar appearances could be directly understood as double bodies or double existences. Simply put, it was the phenomenon of two people who were exactly the same.
From memory to appearance, there was no difference at all.
It was difficult to tell them apart.
From Egypt to Rome, similar rumors could be found everywhere, and the terrifying legends that were derived from it were countless.
For those who ascended, this was a rare technique. Usually, only 'scholars' would try to study this trick of placing the soul mirror image in a puppet.
After all, very few people could multitask and control two bodies at the same time. Moreover, materials that matched their soul attributes were often too rare, and it was troublesome to create.
Due to the innate limitations of the materials, it could not even provide stronger combat power. It was just a puppet that could conveniently do two things at the same time. There were even more convenient alternatives. Therefore, except for a few fields, very few people would study these things.
Huai Shi stared at Hila in front of him in shock. He could not help but step forward and carefully touch her shoulder. "You … You're really not dead?"
As if not used to this kind of intimate contact, Hila could not help but frown. "If you don't mind, I can step on you again … I promise it's the same size as the shoe print on your face."
"No need, no need!"
Huai Shi could not help but reach out to wipe his face, but after wiping for a long time, he could not see any dirt or ashes. Only then did he see Hila's smile that was as light as dew.
He coughed a few times, sat by the bed, and carefully asked, "Then … are we considered friends?"
"Not really."
Hila shook her head and said calmly, "After leaving this ship, we'll be strangers. There's no need to establish such a close relationship."
She said, "As long as we're not friends, anything is fine."
Huai Shi was confused.
"If you become my friend, I'll have to start being wary of you." She stared into Huai Shi's eyes and told him as if she was telling him the truth. "Otherwise, you'll betray me when I trust you the most."
Huai Shi did not know who taught her such hardcore logic, so he could only nod helplessly. "Okay, ally, okay?"
No matter what, being an ally was a good thing. At least it seemed more reliable than his teammates who were all like traitors.
"Then, what's your name?" Hila asked seriously. "As allies, we should first tell each other our names, right?"
"Er … Huai Shi."
Huai Shi hesitated for a moment before saying his real name. "As you can see, I'm a vegetarian vampire."
Hila did not say anything, only looking straight at him as if she was trying to tell if he was lying. After a long time, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Lily," she said. "You can call me Lily."
Lily。
"Not Hila?" Huai Shi was stunned.
"HEL is my [Registered Name]."
Hila raised the heavy ancient book in her hand. "It's a rule among scholars. When I'm doing something as a scholar, I have to tell others this name.
But as a partner, you can call me Lily. "
