winter era

Chapter 131 Little Kaos' Gambling

Time always flies by with concentration.At least when everyone felt that it was just a momentary event, the sky had already turned pale.The pale color like a floating corpse is telling the people in the entire capital that their day shrouded in grief has begun again.No one can escape this sad and imprisoning cycle.

It was only around five o'clock in the morning, and the pale sunlight had not yet reached the dark corners of the city.Those laborers who were not hardworking or tenacious cursed the wealthy businessmen who paid them wages, opened the gate rudely and began to walk towards the pier.Now this is the time to unload yesterday's cargo, and there will always be some special professionals appearing in every corner of the port in the evening.This is like paying another tax, and it is already an unwritten rule on the entire Wangdu Port Wharf.

This group of people, whose dreams have been crushed by reality, clasped their dead skin covered with white shifts, chewed the corpse of an unknown insect, and coughed out a mouthful of cloudy thick phlegm.Calculating in my mind how many things I could slip through today's cargo without being beaten to death by those thugs, I walked towards the pier with loose steps like walking dead.However, there seemed to be some people missing in their team today, but they didn't care about it.After all, this world is so dark and terrifying, so it's not a problem to die a few people at any time, is it?Just treat them as being picked up by wild dogs, there is nothing to care about.

These loose groups don't know where their fellows are now.If they had been well-informed, they would have known that at one o'clock in the evening there had been a fire in one of the dockland complexes.The flames from hell quickly swept through the small half of the residential area, and then disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared before.

For the Bureau, this kind of thing has happened quite a few times this night.A total of eight houses were burned by flames, and monsters appeared in fourteen blocks.The nightmare-like spirit of those artists also opened the gate of the abyss, and the supernatural anger from hell easily burned the real matter.But fortunately, they were controlled before burning to the peak.The lads at Holy Night couldn't have done a better job.

Judging from the tone of those young people, they have been planning this mission for quite some time.Delineating a few artists related to demons, and then carrying out a concentrated assault without warning, the results are of course very gratifying.Those devil seeds lurking in the crowd were quickly purified into a mass of ashes by these enthusiastic and kind young people.Even the people in the police station are a little grateful to these young people, otherwise, if there are batches of outbreaks, they probably won't be able to keep their heads.With so many artists remaining in the capital, the consequences are obvious.The Iron Emperor on the throne is not a benevolent man.

But in fact, is it something that the boys of the holy night did?On this point, there are two pairs of dark circles on the top of the wooden box on the pier, and the young men and women who are staring at the ring in their hands may have different opinions on this.

"Niya, have you seen the power of that person? That's the power of a mage. Powerful, beautiful, terrifying, no, maybe I can't describe that kind of thing properly with my tongue. But I think you saw it? That The guy who calls us from the shadows. My cheap brother. He is really a mage, so this ring is also a product of a mage."

The young child stared frantically at the ring in his hand that was shining with dark green light, and the color on his face gradually sank into chaos.A dark red flame burst out of a pair of gray-black eyeballs, as if being ignited by something.Although it seemed that it might be extinguished by the shadows around him at any time, the dark red flame still tenaciously took root in his soul, and he worked hard to maintain his position, preventing that little flame from dying. Overwhelmed by shadows.

Neither of those two phenomena is a good thing.One means that one's spirit has fallen into numbness and chaos, and the other means the beginning of alienation and the burning of the spirit.But at this moment, Kaos doesn't have that kind of mystic knowledge.At present, he only feels that his condition is surprisingly good, as if he can kill a cow with one fist.Even if he didn't sleep all day and night, he still felt something burning in his chest.The whole person's mind was captured by the emerald-colored small ring engraved with densely packed runes.

Just hours before he was going to sleep, he had seen what his cheap brother was up to.He used a very unbelievable method to make the entire darkness wrap the residential area.As if he was certain of something, he took out the sheepskin scroll and gestured, then walked into the cold and gloomy manor with weak steps.

Then within half an hour, an unbelievably huge demon appeared in the originally gloomy manor.The beast sprayed with poisonous sulfur gas looked horrified at seeing the nightmare come true, and roared to rush out of the darkness.But little Kaos saw a bloody light behind the demon, which was taller than the demon's height, split the demon into two pieces from top to bottom.Like a flaming red meteor, my cheap brother walked out from the center of the demon's burning body with a face that was bathed in blood-colored light, leaving the burning mansion and reintegrating into the darkness of the street. among.

Little Kaos could clearly see that bloody ray of light was more than 20 meters high.It was like a bloody building rushed towards him, directly cutting the seemingly invincible demon into two burning torches.This combat power is the mage.The little Kaos who subconsciously thought so took out the small ring as a gift, hoping to see something famous, so that he could get some abilities more or less.At worst, you have to strengthen your own combat effectiveness.

But the more he observed it carefully, the more terrifying and unnatural this ring felt to him.It was like a living creature making a frightening call in the shadows, as if calling him to let him bathe in the shadows.If it wasn't for the last rationality telling him not to wear this ring lightly, he might have fallen long ago.

However, he still refused to give up this ring that could easily bring him strength.I am afraid that there are not many such things in the whole world, at least he has never heard of the existence of such things in Queens, where dragons and snakes are mixed.So what does this mean?This means that this ring is the cornerstone leading him to the highest end in this world.Little Kaos, who has a lifetime of experience, is of course not willing to give up this opportunity.He understands what it means not to miss an opportunity and never come back again, and he won't be as impulsive as those young people.

"But Kaos, is this really good? I feel something is wrong with this ring. How to put it, it seems that there is a force calling for me to take it up. Don't all the legends say that such a thing will be lost if you put it on? of the soul?"

Niya looked at the ring lying flat in her palm with some worry, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

As a woman, she was born with a certain sensitivity.She could feel the supernatural power coming from the ring, as well as the terror and despair hidden behind that power.The pervasive darkness made Nya feel extremely suffocated and painful even if she felt it a little bit.This is the case when you feel it, so what kind of phenomenon will it be when it really comes?

She didn't want to think about it, but just wanted to subconsciously persuade Kaos not to touch the ring.But even she was gradually corroded by the spreading magic power, and there was also a little chaotic flame in her soul.There is no way for this kind of thing, and there is no way for mortals to resist the erosion of this toxin.Even a person like Kaos, who has outstanding talent, can't last long in front of the imprisoning soul ring.Even being able to last one night is already a very remarkable mental strength.

But it doesn't make much sense after all.Under the corrosion of that power, resistance is undoubtedly futile.The great sage ten years later does not mean that he was also ten years ago.Now he is just a little gangster living in Queens waiting to die.

Without any sudden mental changes, just a transmigrator alive in a daze, how could he resist this ring?

"...I'm going to take it with me."

A ray of flame burst out from the eyes of the boy with dark circles.

"So what if we are deceived? Do we have any value in being deceived? It would be too self-deceiving to say that it is potential. If we really have such great potential, then we would have been able to live well Yes. In fact, we didn’t. Now God has given us such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if I don’t take advantage of it, am I still human?”

"But I really feel very dangerous, Kaos. That kind of ring is definitely not for good people to use." Niya, who was still young, panicked when she saw Kaos's insistence on going his own way, and waved her hands cautiously at the ring. Kaos said.

"I can feel that there is absolutely nothing good on it. It's like someone's screaming, I can feel him. Don't take it, really, we're not going to that mage or something. I think we It's a good day now. When we grow up we may barely be a citizen and then I'll marry you and have some kids and die peacefully and that's fine. Don't take any chances, I don't know how to say it, but really don't Bring it on. I beg you, Kaos, it's going to go wrong."

"I can also feel the malice on it, Niya. It's like countless innocent souls crying on it, and even looking at it makes people feel scared." Little Kaos gritted his teeth, staring at the ring in his palm, Said with a look of reluctance.

"But can you deny the power of this ring? He might be a trap deliberately set up by the sorcerer to scare me away. Maybe he just wanted to recruit apprentices, so he set up this level. This possibility is also possible. Yes. For our future, Niya. It is absolutely impossible for me to give up on you to suffer alone. You have suffered enough with me, even if I am a man, I will never give up this opportunity. Opportunity to rise to the top. Do we see any hope in this Queens area? One day in this place marks this place for the rest of our lives. We have no choice."

"...Then if this is the case, I will also wear this ring!"

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Niya wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth, and took out the ring that belonged to her from her bosom.

"If you want to wear a ring, then two people should wear it together! Even if there will be any pain in the future, it doesn't matter if two people face it together! As long as two people are together, then it's okay to be cheated by that wizard I really care about it! Everything I have now is given by you, and I know everything about you, as long as the two of you are together, there is nothing to care about!" The young girl held the gemstone ring tightly in her hand, Face resolutely made remarks that did not match her age.

In the face of despair and reality, it is always the product that can ripen people the most.Especially in the face of this kind of choice that affects one's life, it can better reflect a person's tolerance.And Niya's magnanimity clearly decided to tie her life to little Kaos.That meaning is already obvious, even if life cannot be together, then death must be together.

Even Kaos, who had memories of his previous life, was frightened by the girl's decisive look at this moment.He didn't even know what to say to the decisive girl in front of him who was only six or seven years old.

Say something discouraging?impossible.Judging from that face, it is definitely not a thought that can be dismissed with a few words.Even if Kaos had learned from the heart before, it was only an inducement.He has absolutely nothing to do with this state where he has truly made up his mind and even put aside all the side details.This caused a certain traveler a lot of headaches, even the chaotic red flames in his soul were extinguished a lot, and he began to show the mental fluctuations of ordinary people.

"Niya, listen to me." After collecting his words, Kaos began to persuade Niya who was hiding in the wooden box with him. "You shouldn't take this risk with me. You are not my vassal. Even if I die, you still have old Uncle Jack to rely on. You should go to the sweet side of the lollipop, not the moldy side. "

"If you die I will kill myself."

It seemed that she didn't hear what Kaos said at all. Niya sat upright on the wooden board and looked at Kaos decisively.

"If you die, I will commit suicide. I can definitely do it. No matter what happens to you, I will commit suicide. Even when you disappeared, I will commit suicide. Don't try to abandon me, even if you travel far away You have to write back to me every once in a while, or I will definitely commit suicide. As I said, you will never be able to leave me in your life. This is something that has been decided long ago. "

"So why are you so stubborn, kid? How old are you now? How do you know what you will encounter in the next ten times longer life? These are all unknown things, why do you have to be with me?"

Looking at Niya, who looked like she would never leave her side by side, Kaos suddenly felt a headache.

He really has no way to be sure whether that wizard has good intentions, and he is even ready to fight to the death.He has the background of nearly 30 years of life, and he has long been impatient with life.What's the point of living if you can't make a name for yourself at the age of 40?Combined, he is almost 40 years old.But Niya doesn't have that sense of despair and urgency, how can he let a little girl follow her like this?
It's all over now, seeing Niya's decisive look, Kaos didn't doubt at all that if something happened to Niya, she would definitely find something to commit suicide.If it takes a period of time to wear the ring, who will he cry to?Does he want his next life to always regret his current choice?Kaos doesn't want to be the kind of bitter person who is immersed in memories all his life.

"...Then let's take it together!" Little Kaos waved his hand resolutely after thinking for a while.

Under the sunlight that was the color of floating corpses, he had clearly seen Niya's face.On that small, dirty face exuded a look that Kaos was very familiar with, that was the sense of holiness about to go to the battlefield.

What kind of power can make a little girl burst out with such spiritual will?In my time, a six-year-old girl was even a little princess lying in the arms of her parents and acting like a baby, crying non-stop when she fell.But here, the six-year-old girl was already ready to die.Is it the world's fault, or is it her own fault for coming here?
"Anyway, if you don't wear it, you will die. If you wear it, there may be a future to fight together, so just wear it! But Niya, don't regret it. No one knows what will happen when you wear this ring. Gamble with your own life."

"I know, anyway, I only have life left to gamble." Niya replied, pinching the ring in her hand.

The emerald green ring shone with strange fluorescence in the dim wooden box, like a will-o'-the-wisp in a cemetery, which made people feel chills all over.Seeing such a terrifying scene, Kaos swallowed subconsciously.But there is no way, this is his only hope to break out of Queens.There is no such thing as a future in that horrible place.If a person doesn't even have a future, then living is meaningless.

"Then it's decided, listen to my slogan, and the two of us will wear it together." Wiping the cold sweat off his brow, little Kaos stared at the shiny ring in his hand, and gritted his teeth.The muscles on his face twitched rapidly, revealing his tangled and restless heart.But this is the end of the matter, wouldn't it be even more courageous to give up?

I can only bring it, there is no other better choice.Whether you go to heaven or hell depends on this time.

"Three! Two! One! Put it on!"

　Finally caught up... The condition for the next million changes is that the top [-] monthly tickets and both bookings break [-]!I feel that Wan Geng is a little too burdensome for me, so I raised the standard, please don't blame me...too tired...
