His mind suddenly became clear. The two people beside him couldn't keep up with his thinking speed, they frowned and said, "... what?"
Kou Dong took a slight breath.
"I'm the little embolus."
This sentence was said word by word, and it was so clear that Song Hong couldn't think that he had heard it wrong.
He couldn't believe it.
"But that doesn't mean—"
"That's right," Kou Dong said calmly, "It has been cheating us from beginning to end."
The dog forces the system!
"Thinking about it now, it was a game from the very beginning," Kou Dong pointed to Song Hong, "It only told you the mission, within seven days, take Xiao Shuanzi out."
"It's the sixth day now."
"But what if there are specific players who will play the role of Xiao Shuanzi from the beginning? What if we don't need to find any NPC at all?"
From the beginning to the end, the boy never acknowledged the identity of Xiao Shuanzi.
He should have thought of it. Xiao Shuanzi's rustic-sounding name doesn't fit well with the NPC's behavior. Fortunately, he thought that the system wanted to neutralize the murderous aura of his NPC, which sounded cute, but it turned out to be used on himself... Damn it!
Song Hong: "Didn't they say it was in a circus?"
"It depends on what's in the circus." Kou Dong had already sorted out all the thoughts in his mind, and replied, "The original little embolus may indeed be buried here."
But he would never be with the kidnapper, otherwise the boy would still be in the kidnapper's hands. Now that the members of the circus can start, it means that the only obstacle has still been broken.
Little Shuanzi did not become his hindrance, only possible within the boundaries of the circus itself.
When the NPC who was locked up in the house described Xiao Shuanzi to them, he was not talking about him, but the person who would think of him and was inseparable from him when he was mentioned.
Throughout the dungeon, the system played a lot of multilingual games with them, leading them to think in the wrong direction, both openly and secretly.
But in fact, there is only one person who really needs to escape.
Just himself.
Kou Dong felt the bad taste from the system. It deliberately set up the last sealed room, making Kou Dong mistakenly believe that this room is related to Xiao Shuanzi. But in fact, this is a Pandora's box, from which Kou Dong released the demon who coveted him.
Song Hong also rarely started to feel his scalp go numb. He swallowed, "So, our mission should be—to take you out of Taoyuan Town within seven days?"
Kou Dong nodded.
Song Hong: "..."
Song Hong silently cast his eyes on the tightly closed wooden door, and his throat rolled down again.
"So," he said with difficulty, "we're at..."
Kou Dong nodded sadly.
"We're locked up."
"..."
"..."
The three of them were silent for a while, feeling an uncontrollable heartache for this fact.
They could easily get out, but why did they lock themselves in instead
Kou Dong lowered his head: "...my fault."
Speaking of which, he was the one who took the lead and released the final boss without stopping...
Now, he had tasted what it would be like to shoot a rock at his own foot.
It hurts.
"But you can't hit me," Kou Dong looked at the eyes of the two, and quickly added, "I'm precious now, so I can't be beaten!"
If he is limped, how can he be rescued
Kou Dong was very conscious of being a key person, and shrank his head back, trying to avoid the trapped teammates.
Song Hong's face was uncertain, and he seemed to have a vague urge to hit him. Ye Yanzhi stood up vigilantly from Kou Dong's shoulders, staring at him without blinking. Fortunately, Song Hong finally exhaled and shook his head.
"Forget it," he said sadly, "it's all their trap..."
One match one pit!
Kou Dong nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with this.
The big-headed baby was still guarding the door. Hearing the commotion inside, he put his thin hands on the door and knocked loudly. The three inside lowered their voices, discussing what to do next.
Now, the goal is clear, they just need to take Kou Dong out.
But the question is, how to get people out under the eyes of NPC
Several people began to worry, but they did not dare to rush into the door. After looking at each other, Song Hong said in a deep voice: "Search in this room first to see if there is anything else."
They started rummaging.
This room is huge, and it has all internal organs, and there are even bathtubs and barrels next to it. To live here, you hardly need to step out of the door.
He took the lead in sitting on the big four-corner bed, and reached out to search among the soft bedding. After fumbling around, he didn't find anything nearby, but he did find a thin gold chain.
Pure gold, long, with a faint light. There is a ring of white jade at the end, but the material is a bit strange, it seems to be made of sand. The inside is covered with a layer of soft fluff, Kou Dong touched it, and his fingers would sink into it, like the best rabbit fur.
He tried to tug, but it didn't work - the gold chain was attached to the bed.
Kou Dong was a little confused.
As far as he knew, this was the bed prepared for him by the NPC.
Where did the chain come from on that bed
He stared and thought for a while, then swallowed suddenly, and slowly gestured the jade ring to his hand. Bai Yuhuan was quite small, and at first glance it was obvious that it was not the size of an adult, but it was just enough to fit on his wrist.
Kou Dong: "..."
no
Could it be...
perhaps…
Could it be...
Was the original plan of the NPC to lock him here? !
To be honest, if Kou Dong's body is not too young now, and the NPC looks like an immature, he would suspect that the boy is a pervert.
What kind of logic is it to think of locking people up after being trafficked
He was in a daze when he heard the little girl's quiet voice: "I found it."
She opened a small hidden compartment from under the table. Inside was a thin booklet. When she opened it, there were densely packed names of people written on it.
Most of them are baby names, such as Erzi, Heizi, Chunchun... I wrote more than half of the book. Followed by a number, like their age.
Looking back, there is only a short line of words.
"Abducted from Sanlizhuang on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Erzi and Sanya led him in. It was useless. They were used for harvesting and cutting. He died on the 27th."
"Abducted from Shanhe Village on March 7th. Heizi and Ningning led him to beg for money."
"Abducted from Shanhe Village on April 23rd..."
Song Hong frowned, noticing the unusual wording here, "What is Yinzhi?"
He pointed to the two words, "What follows before this is the child's name? - What does this mean, he was brought up by two children?"
The little girl calmly said: "This means that they were all attracted by the children here."
This statement makes my heart chill. Kou Dong also frowned, staring at the page.
"You mean..."
"Think about it," Ah Xue said calmly, "If they abducted so many children, how low is the probability of approaching them by their own appearance?"
All kidnappers, with blood on their hands, always have a ferocious look on their faces, which cannot be concealed at all. Although there are irresponsible parents in this world, there are more who treat their children as their fate. They teach them since childhood and take care of them personally. How can they be coaxed into so many
Song Hong's palms began to feel cold. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "So, he let these children go."
How easy it is.
Children who seem innocent and ignorant of the world only need to change their clothes and hold one or two toys in their hands, and they can easily lure other unsuspecting children away. At this time, it was still a rural society, and it was common for children in the village to go from house to house and play in groups.
It doesn't take much effort for the kidnappers, just throw out a lure with two candies, and all of them will be hooked. The newcomer can still be used as an introduction, and continue to attract other children... In this way, it will naturally ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing.
Song Hong gritted his teeth, and his voice became ruthless: "Beast!"
"It should be more than that." The little girl said lightly, "They—should have done it voluntarily."
Song Hong was shocked: "How come?"
He was a little speechless, and after a while he murmured: "They are still young...how could they be willing to do such a thing?"
"What if we can make them stop smoking wooden figures?"
Asue's thin white finger pointed to the name of one of the introductions, which was written on it, which was clearly for begging. Looking at the others, they were all begging and did not enter the circus.
"What if this is a kind of forgiveness for them? For example, the more people abducted, the better the food, and the safety—"
There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone remembered the first day they came.
That day, the child who begged the least was pushed out, and the rest just watched indifferently.
They make small gestures and rejoice in the suffering of others. The selfishness and indifference of human beings seem to be fully displayed in this group of children. When they are uncovered, all they see are ugly.
Kou Dong somewhat understood the meaning of the boy's words.
"Who says everything under the human skin is human?"
When he said this sentence, what kind of mood did he say it with
After a while, the little girl said: "Let's look down."
Kou Dong flipped through the pages, and when he reached the middle, he finally saw the words "Xiao Shuanzi".
Following Xiao Shuanzi, the child who was kidnapped in the same village as him was named Ye Yan. Twelve years old.
Kou Dong covered the half of the paper with his hand. His mind was buzzing, and after a long time, he gently moved his hand away.
Those two lines of black characters finally caught their eyes.
"On the twelfth day of the twelfth month, I was abducted from Yejia Village, and Yingzi and Erzi introduced him. I was begging at the beginning, and wanted to escape, so I put sticks on it, died and burned him."
"December 12th, I abducted from Yejia Village, and followed another son. I gathered more than 20 sons to escape, but after leaking the news, they were blocked in the middle of the road. In order to alert others, his companions were clubbed and chopped. Cut off the legs and impose capital punishment."
After this, there was another line of blood-red small characters: "This son was very dangerous after his death. We specially took his bones and drew a spell to strengthen them."
Just a few lines of words made Kou Dong tremble from top to bottom.
It was as if someone had hit him hard on the cap of the sky, the foreground in front of his eyes was erratic, and he didn't know where he was in a trance.
The wind and rain turn, the rooster crows before it crows—
On that day, it snowed heavily in Yejia Village.
He saw two children almost frozen in front of the door.
Both of their faces were flushed from the cold, and they forced a slight smile at him. The older boy took his hand and asked him, "Is there any hot water at home? Can I have a bowl?"
At the end, he added, "Don't tell your lord."
People in the village are honest and simple, so without thinking, he poured half a bowl of boiling water into the rough porcelain bowl, and took it out carefully. At the age of four, he can already help with some simple chores at home. He gave them the bowl and said in a low voice, "Drink slowly."
After the two drank the water, they asked him the way out of the village.
"This snow is too heavy, I can't see the path..."
He asked, "Which family are you from?"
The tall boy pointed to him, and said vaguely: "We are from the next village. We come here for fun, but we never thought we couldn't get out..."
In Xiao Shuanzi's house, there is only one grandma who is dependent on each other. Because of her old age, she is still asleep at this time. When he walked out, he hesitated for a moment, hesitating whether to call the brother Ye Yan who lived next door - in this village, brother Ye Yan loved him more than his grandma, and he accompanied him wherever he went. He has an apple face and is delicate, just like a girl, Ye Yan called him nannie, very affectionately.
But Ye Yan helped him get off the ground yesterday, and he seemed extremely tired.
So he didn't shout. But at a distance of one hundred and ten meters, he just took people out.
There was a carriage parked at the gate of the village, which he had never seen before. On the contrary, the tall boy was delighted to see it, and said that the family had come to look for him.
He also said: "I must thank you, let my parents bring you a piece of candy!"
Xiao Shuanzi shook his head and said he wanted to go back, so he turned his head and walked back. But the boy's father got out of the carriage, tall and fierce, he covered his mouth and stuffed him into the carriage. There was a lot of snow that day, and there was no one in the sky outside. He kicked his legs desperately, and looked eagerly, but he could only see snowflakes falling down one after another like rubbing cotton.
The man driving the car laughed and said it was a good snow, "Let's go later, no one will know!"
Ruts and footprints can all be covered by this heavy snow.
He thought the same way, knowing that he was afraid that he might meet a bad guy, so he could only shrink back in the car and try not to say a word. But after a while, someone caught up with the difficult carriage and slapped the carriage with his hands desperately.
"Stop, stop!"
When the curtain was lifted, he saw a familiar face.
Ye Yan appeared in front of him.
He seemed to have just discovered it and chased it out. At this time, it was freezing cold, and everyone in the village was asleep, and there was no time to call for someone. In front of this group of adults, the young man didn't have any strength to resist. He just said something to those abductees, and immediately, he opened his legs and sat in.
"Shh," he whispered, "I'll accompany you."
He took the man into his arms. It was still snowing outside, only his chest exuded warmth.
"—I'll be with you."
Kou Dong's forehead was hot, as if he had a high fever, and in a daze, he seemed to hear Song Hong's voice talking to him.
He wanted people to speak slowly, because he couldn't understand a word at the moment. When he desperately opened his eyes, there was neither Song Hong nor A Xue in front of him, only the young man was sitting on the four-corner bed with his arms in his arms, patting his back with his hands.
It's still a weird circus here. Ye Yan's legs were empty, only two dangling trousers. The trousers were now spattered with dots of blood, and exuded a fishy and sweet smell.
There was also a drop of dried blood on his face, sticking to his cold and white skin like a bright red mole.
Ye Yan held Kou Dong in his arms, but his expression was extremely gentle.
"Good girl."
Kou Dong heard the rattling sound, looked down at his wrist, only to find that it was the gold chain.
The jade ring was put on his hand. When he looked again, Kou Dong realized what it was.
At that time, the ring made from Xiao Shuanzi's ashes was used by the boy to lock him in the house.
No wonder he has such memories.
"Daughter girl—"
Ye Yan repeated it again, hugging him even tighter.
"Brother will definitely protect you this time."
