When the first ray of morning light came through the window, the rope locked around my ankle broke. At that moment, my forehead hit the carpet with a thud. Although it wasn't very painful, it made me dizzy for a long time.
Fernando and his damned men had left long ago, but they were kind enough not to stop the heating circle. Otherwise, after a whole night, I would have been frozen to ice.
I found my clothes and cloak, but to my surprise, under the cloak, I saw a bottle of purple potion. After opening the bottle cap, a strong sweet fragrance emitted from it, which reminded me of What "Crazy Flower" stuffed into my mouth.
"Take it and take revenge, little girl, I can't wait to see Fernando moaning in pain on the bed!" read the note under the potion bottle.
"A bunch of lunatics!" Tightly, I crumpled the note into a ball and threw it to the ground. However, I still carefully put away the bottle of potion.
One day...one day, I will hang Fernando upside down at the city gate, and then give him a severe whipping!
There will always be a day, right? !
*
I don’t know if it’s because I was hung upside down, but I have a severe headache.
When I held on to the cold wall and trudged all the way to Jacaranda Street, I felt like I was about to pass out.
"Do you need help, Miss?" When I turned into the intersection, a bearded man asked me with a smile.
"No, thank you." I turned away from his hand reaching for my waist.
"Oh! You see you can't even walk..."
"Go away!"
"Messiah?!" At that moment, I heard someone calling me, and a tall and thin figure ran towards me from under the tree on the other side of the road. Although the morning light was dim, I could see his pair of eyes at a glance. Green eyes.
"Selin!" I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I suddenly wanted to cry. In fact, I hugged his waist hard, and the warm liquid in my eyes filled the bank.
"Oh my god, what's wrong? Messiah?!" He seemed a little panicked, patting my back gently and asking.
"Uh... this has nothing to do with me!" The man who "generously" provided me with "help" just now said immediately. Soon, his rapid footsteps were no longer heard.
*
"Messiah? Don't cry, tell me, what happened? I've been waiting here for you a long time ago, you...have you been out all night?" He gently held my waist and asked me I asked softly in my ear, and the gentle voice made me lose control of my emotions even more.
The fright, fear, and grievance I had felt all night seemed to burst out at this moment, and I almost burst into tears.
"Is it Faith!?" He suddenly asked, his voice turning cold, "This one who can kill a thousand swords..."
"No..." I shook my head against his chest and took several deep breaths before calming down the emotions surging in my heart. "It has nothing to do with that idiot. It's a guy who forced me to sacrifice my life for him... bastard, I He teased me."
"What? Who?"
"Fernand Zhufeng, you definitely don't recognize him."
"I certainly haven't heard of him." After a pause, he replied softly, "But no matter who he is, I can't force you to sacrifice your life."
"Selin, that bastard saved my life. He was the one who took us out of the devil's hands."
"……It's him?"
"Well, the hell is, I have to swear to him that I will sacrifice my life for him, oh! If it is possible, I really want to never see him in my life!"
Selin touched my hair gently and said nothing.
"Okay, don't worry about me, I'm just a little dizzy." As I said that, I raised my head and smiled at him, but I found that the corner of his mouth was broken and there were some bruises, "What's wrong with you? Selin? You met a robber?"
"No," he frowned slightly when my fingers lightly touched his wound, "Hiss--Brandon Lane is very dark, I, I accidentally hit the wall."
"You're lying, Selin, you don't even dare to look at me."
He sighed and was about to say something, but at that moment, a woman's scream came from the block, "God! People are dead!"
*
The place where the incident happened was the "Whistle" bakery, right next door to Wiesel's mother-in-law's house.
When Selin and I arrived, I saw two corpses lying in the hall, both of them headless, and the blood stained the flour on the ground black and red!
There was a woman with a bamboo basket squatting at the door, crying loudly. She seemed to be the person who screamed just now.
That horrifying sight made me cover my mouth and almost vomit, "...Oh my God...Grandma Wiesel!" The worry in my heart made me turn around and run towards the house next to me.
"Messiah!" Selin immediately followed behind me.
*
The house was quiet and filled with an indescribable fishy smell.
"Grandma Wiesel?!" I shouted at the door, but there was no response. It was obvious she wasn't in the living room, and after looking around I ran up the stairs.
Dong dong dong--
The hollow footsteps made me feel a strong sense of uneasiness. I stopped at the door of Granny Wiesel's bedroom, suddenly afraid to knock on the door.
"Grandma Wiesel?" I called softly, but there was still no response.
"Maybe she's still asleep." Selin comforted me.
"I'm in, mother-in-law." Biting my lip, I pushed open the door. At that moment, when I saw the scene in the room clearly, I covered my mouth and screamed.
Granny Wiesel was lying on the bed, her old hands firmly placed outside the cuffs of her nightgown, but her head was gone! The pillows, quilts, and even the canopy were covered with splatters of blood and yellowish brain matter!
*
The entire Jacaranda Street, the entire Dongcheng District, and the entire Lordaeron seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of fear.
Overnight, everyone on Jacaranda Street died. The soldiers on the patrol searched every house. However, when they came out, their faces were not very good. Several people opened their mouths while holding on to the corners and vomited.
"It must be a ghost!" Someone in the crowd of onlookers whispered, "It's Sir Diamond's ghost who has come back for revenge!"
"Who is that?"
"Oh! God, you don't know?! He is a true love! He dares to compete with the king for a woman!"
"If it was his ghost, how could he kill the one on the street?"
"The guy on the street is a natural cousin."
"Everyone is dead, let's have some moral integrity!"
*
"Are you Ms. Messiah Rubio?" At that moment, several soldiers wearing patrol armor stopped in front of Selin and I. I noticed that they quickly dispersed and vaguely surrounded us. got up.
I couldn't help but glance at Selin, because among those people, I also saw Faith Barov. Even though he was wearing a helmet, I recognized him. He was sneering at us, his black leather glove thumb stroking the hilt of the sword at his waist from time to time.
"That's right." I replied.
The soldier who asked the question nodded and looked down at the piece of paper in his hand again. This time, he turned to Selin and his attitude was still polite. "Are you Mr. Selin Capet?" he said in a low voice. the rich voice asked.
"Yes."
"Come with us, we need to know something." As he said that, he put away the things in his hands and made an invitation gesture to us sideways.
Selin looked down at me and said, "I can go alone. We are always together..."
"This is not okay," the soldier interrupted him before he could finish. "You were once one of us, so you should know our procedures. After all, Miss Rubio stayed at Blue Flower Everyone in Ying Street is dead, but she is safe and sound."
*
The recording room in Lordaeron is completely different from that in Dalaran. It is dark and depressing.
The pale magic lamp shone on the soldier's helmet, making him look a little sinister. "I am Alfred, Miss Rubio." When he opened his notebook, he introduced himself.
This Alfred was different from the other patrol soldiers. He seemed to have a high position. With just a wave of his hand, he made the usually arrogant Faith and others stay at the door obediently.
He asked me carefully where I had been and what I was doing all night, and took the trouble to ask me two or three times.
I didn't want to think about the memory of last night, and some things were really hard to talk about, so I made up a lie at will. However, after his repeated questioning, I found that it was very difficult to answer his questions. It was so strenuous that I was a little annoyed.
"You have this free time, why not go to Jacaranda Street? Why waste your time here?! You can also ask Fernando Zhufeng..."
"Well, Fernando Zhufeng, a... a shady speculator wants you to join his expedition team." He looked at the notes in his hand, "You can't agree on money, so you spent a whole Late. Can I take the liberty to ask? What was the final price you decided on?"
I raised my eyebrows, "Twenty percent of the order."
He smiled at me and said, "That's fair. Speaking of which, early this morning, someone saw you walking unsteadily on the road with a pale face. With all due respect, that's what your transaction was actually about, right? Look, You are beautiful..."
His words made me furious, "Of course not!"
"So, did he do anything bad to you?"
"Of course a bastard will have many disgusting tricks!" Looking at the smile gathering in his eyes, I became even more angry. "I didn't do any of the dirty things you imagined with him! Never! "
"Okay. Sorry, I searched your luggage," he said, gently placing something on the table. "This bottle of stuff, we call it 'Blue Ghost', is a kind of The poison of torture is something strictly prohibited by law, and if this were yours, I think you might have to spend several years in prison."
My heart skipped a beat, "That bottle is not mine!"
"Where did it come from? Is it that dirty Fernando Zhufeng?"
"...I don't know, maybe someone else secretly put it in my backpack."
"Your words are not convincing at all." Alfred said with a smile.
"Aren't you investigating Jacaranda Street? What do these things have to do with it?!"
"Unfortunately, I am also responsible for many other things." He wrote something in his notebook, and then continued to ask, "How did you meet him?"
"In...at the boot camp."
"Recruit camp?" He raised his head and glanced at me, "A speculator appeared in the recruit camp and recruited soldiers. Either you are lying, or there is a huge moth in Lordaeron. Which instructor is it? Isenlien? Osmar? Or 'Dark Shadow'?"
Those words made my heart beat fast, and I suddenly felt nervous. I suddenly discovered that behind a lie, countless other lies need to be made up to justify it, and I am not that good at making up lies.
"You don't want to say it," Alfred crossed his hands and looked directly at me, "Lord Isenlien, and Lord Almar had left before midnight...somewhere unspeakable, then, We can start the investigation from the 'dark shadow', right? As long as we investigate, everyone will have 'dirty information'..."
"That's enough!" I interrupted him angrily, "Okay, I admit, I just lied, actually..."
"How can I be sure that what you are about to say is true?"
I opened my mouth and was stunned.
The interrogation room suddenly became dead silent. After a while, Alfred chuckled softly and said, "Actually, this bottle of potion belongs to you?"
"No! How could..."
"Is it from 'Black Shadow'?"
"no!"
"That's Fernando Zhufeng."
"...No, that's not right."
"It's not difficult to tell from your words that you really hate Fernando Zhufeng."
"...That can't be the reason for me to frame you!"
That sentence stunned Alfred, and then he suddenly laughed, "Oh! My God! What did I hear?! Did you hear it? Boss?!"
"Ah, what a stupid girl." A hoarse voice sounded in the corner of the inquiry room. I immediately turned around and looked over, only to see a figure leaning against the wall.
Holy light is on! When was there another person there? !
"Little Messiah, you are really cute." I heard Alfred say. Suddenly, his voice completely changed, from the original low tone to sweet and young. He lifted up his helmet, revealing His handsome face was revealed, and his gray eyes sparkled like crystals under his dark bangs.
"You, you are that...that Sarri?!" I stood up in shock. So, who could be in the corner? !
Turning around suddenly, I saw that the figure had slowly stood up straight. He walked slowly into the dim magic light. I saw his glowing eyes and sharp ears at a glance.
Fernando.Zhufeng!
"Miss Centaur, your lies are really unbearable." He said mockingly, "Is your head stuffed with Kodo feces? Can you get fired from a simple inquiry?"
I gritted my teeth, "What on earth are you doing?! Does teasing others give you a sense of accomplishment?!"
"Oh, little Messiah, your situation is not very good." Sari patted the notebook in front of him, "You are now suspected of carrying banned drugs."
"That's not mine, you clearly know..."
"I don't know," Sarri immediately waved his hand and said, looking at Fernando next to me, "Do you know anything? Boss?"
"How could I possibly know?" The damned high elf snorted and looked me up and down with his eyes. "Speaking of which, what will happen to a girl who is thrown into a cell?"
Those familiar words made me grab the chair. If it wasn't so heavy, I would have definitely picked it up!
"Give you a choice, to sacrifice your life? Or..."
"I'm going!" Without thinking, I yelled with unconcealable anger.
"Go and investigate what happened on Jacaranda Street."
"What am I going to investigate?"
"Just like telling a lie, prepare everything I may ask! Otherwise, Sarri will have evidence of your guilt."
go to hell!
I cursed silently.
"Little Messiah, you can take that knight with you," Sari smiled and gave me some advice when I was leaving the house angrily. "I have read his file. He is a very careful young man!"
