A suffocating silence ensued between Zuo Chang and Melville.
Zuo Chang is okay.
He is also well-informed and can run fast, and will not lose his composure just because of a small storm. He remained silent rationally and said nothing.
but--
No matter how calm Zuo Chang reacts now, Melville cannot be calm!
to be exact.
The existence of Zuo Chang has become her inner demon. As long as he is still breathing, Melville will go crazy with shame!
only……
After calming down and thinking about it, Melville decided that it wasn't entirely her fault.
Previously, Zuo Chang's canthus was about to split and he looked like an evil ghost. When he stabbed with his sword, how fierce was his momentum?
Melville felt chills all over his body, his body and soul were shocked, and he seemed to smell the eternal desolation in his nose, which was the smell of death.
Isn't it normal for someone to behave a little erratically under such a fierce sword?
You know, people can be driven crazy and crushed by pressure.
Melville believed that her previous behavior was just a slightly indecent way to relieve the pressure of the full load.
This is a very normal physiological phenomenon.
It is the innate self-preservation instinct of human beings.
It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's reasonable.
Um.
Compared to that...
Now, there may be more important things to do.
"cough."
Melville broke the silence with a cough.
With a smile on her lips, she slowly walked to Zuo Chang: "Mr. Zuo, thank you."
Zuo Chang turned to look at her, with a hint of disgust on his face.
Melville tried his best to ignore the disdain in Zuo Chang's eyes: "You saved me. I didn't notice the danger behind me. If you hadn't taken action in time, I'm afraid I would have been...what's that look?"
Although she ignored it as much as possible.
but……
Zuo Chang went too far!
Not only did he look at Melville with unusually conflicting eyes, but when Melville stepped forward, he very cautiously took a step to the side in an attempt to distance himself.
His actions were quite natural.
But Melville is very sensitive now, how could Zuo Chang's actions escape her sight.
Small movements can cause so much damage!
Melville's hair suddenly exploded. She pointed at Zuo Chang's nose and said angrily: "Why do you have to step aside? Do you think I'm dirty?"
Zuo Chang said seriously: "I misunderstood, I didn't take a step to the side."
"You obviously have it! I saw it all!"
"...Well, I may have. But please don't worry, this is just my personal habit. I don't think you are dirty. As we all know, urine is actually very clean. In an emergency, it can even be used to clean wounds. .”
"Whoaaah!"
Melville today cannot hear the word "pee" at all.
She held her head and screamed. The arrogance and nobility she felt when they first met were gone.
Zuo Chang looked at her smooth legs——
The black pantyhose she was wearing at the beginning have been taken off.
He pointed at her legs and asked: "Can you still fight like this? If you are tied up and don't dare to go all out, I advise you to go back to find Lu Zheng, so as not to implicate me."
Melville gritted his teeth: "Don't underestimate me! I can be a descendant of the 'Crown Witch'. You don't know what a witch is like, right?"
Zuo Chang recalled the witch he met in "Black Goat" and understood it clearly.
He nodded and said, "Follow us, we are already slow."
Melville didn't know why, but she asked no further questions.
She followed Zuo Chang and shuttled through the mist.
There were a few lights on the road, which were contestants rushing on their way with torches.
Melville asked: "Do it?"
Zuo Chang shook his head: "Small fish and shrimp are not a threat. Melville, we are the 'Hook Messengers'. At this moment, we have an advantage in the battle - you should know this."
"Of course I understand that."
Fighting against ordinary contestants, Zuo and Chang won without even having to fight.
As long as they find a way to extinguish their torches, they will fall into a "dream state" and there is a high probability that they will not survive.
Zuo Chang continued: "Coupled with the setting of 'when the number of participants drops to a certain level, everyone will enter the second level', what do you think is our best strategy now?"
"..."
Melville blinked and remained silent.
She didn't expect the answer.
Zuo Chang didn't hide it, he said directly: "The best strategy is to find the strong and kill the strong. Now that we have the advantage, we should strike hard."
Melville frowned and asked: "But how do you know whether the other party is strong or not? Your perception is very strong?"
"If you want to create a strong person, your own talent and hard work are of course indispensable. In addition, a solid family background, a broad vision, and the support of countless people can create true strength. I want to kill here A strong person is the kind of person who knows the battle for the title very well, just like——"
Zuo Chang looked at Melville with a dull expression.
"Just like me."
Unreasonable self-confidence rushed towards him.
wrong.
This is simply arrogant! This "commoner" named Zuo Chang is so crazy!
Melville looked at Zuo Chang carefully with his green eyes.
Without even realizing it, her heart was beating a little faster.
"Come with me. I know a place where the masters will definitely go. We just need to wait there and wait to achieve our goal."
Zuo Chang waved and led her into the mist.
After a while, they arrived at an extremely open room that even had a fountain.
There was no fog in the room. Zuo Chang stood at the door and pointed to a statue at the end of the room: "Did you see that statue?"
Melville nodded: "Yes, that should be the statue of the God of Heaven."
"This statue is the most valuable thing on the entire first floor besides the Gouzhi Shrine. Touch it and you can get a blessing."
Zuo Chang slowly stepped forward and reached out to touch the statue of the god.
A bright red mark appeared on the back of his hand. When he stared carefully, he felt a sense of sacredness.
Melville followed suit. She looked at the engraving on her hand and turned into a curious baby: "I can feel the power contained in this engraving... Mr. Zuo, what effect does it have?"
"The engraving will only take effect after you leave the Tower of Natural Selection and become an exorcist. An engraving is a guide, and it is very crucial."
Zuo Chang did not hide his secrets and told the truth.
Melville had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and it took a moment for her to realize.
"...Mr. Zuo, there is only one exorcist team that can become the champion. We are competitors."
She squinted her eyes, not understanding.
Touching the engraved mark on the back of her hand with her green-white fingers, she continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid that I will be one step ahead of you and eliminate you in the 'main match' stage?"
