Haidu: Top of the Tower

Chapter 33 Longing and Reunion

Milady soaked in the cold lake water for 10 minutes, and finally climbed up from the lake when she was sure that the two of them had gone far away. When the cold wind blew, it was as cold as if their bones were clenched together. up.

Trembling, she found a shelter from the wind, checked it, and saw that the most important things were still there: two badges of Mengsheng's family, a small fragment of the badge of the session, and a mechanism that she just got.

It took Milady at least 5 minutes just to find a way to put the device on her body: she was so cold that her hands and feet were unsteady, and the device was a net-like "jacket" formed entirely of collars, bracelets and chains. When they were in the lake, they were all entangled together, and after finally putting on the upper body, she was so cold that she was shivering again.

It's a pity, it would be great if it was a long-range combat agency.

"Unfortunately, it is not a weapon for long-distance attack."

Almost at the same time that the thought came to mind, Milady heard it being spit out of her mouth—she was startled, jumped up, looked around, but saw nothing; , When he realized the owner of the voice, the other party happened to whisper: "I'm on the tree, but don't look up."

Milady immediately raised her head.

Malt's small face quickly disappeared from between the branches and leaves, and complained: "Didn't you be told to look up?"

"Don't worry, no one should be following me now." Milady said, still lowering her head.

The two of Xiyado just left; and if Luo Geng really found her, he would never give her the chance to wear the mechanism. "Even if Luo Geng saw you and me at the same time, I can assure you that he will come to me first."

He is like a beast cornered, the more frightened he is, the more frantically he will attack and bite; even the badge is not his main goal—a badge in hand is certainly not as impressive as a dead Milady peace of mind.

"How come you are hiding here by such a coincidence?" Milady asked.

"It's not a coincidence," Mai Ya said in a low voice, "That girl named Yugan was bitten by me as soon as the race started. You don't know how many ways I have used and how many miles I have run! It was so hard for me to get rid of here. I missed her, but I saw her again just now, and it seems that she hasn't gone far at all. I dare not go down now... You gave me a badge, and you made me a target of public criticism and killed me."

"Your days of being chased are coming to an end." Milady thought for a while, smiled slightly, and revealed the two Mengsheng badges in her trouser pocket. "look."

When Malt saw the badge, she seemed to have oiled herself, and suddenly slipped off the branch; she was lucky, and she was still holding a stick-like mechanism in her hand. "For me? It's for me! I'm going to win—"

"Don't be happy just now." Milady put the Mengsheng badge back into her trouser pocket and tied the bag rope. "What about mine?"

"It's well hidden," Malt untied the bootlaces a few times, and took out Milady's badge from the boot shaft. "Don't worry, my legs don't stink."

Milady was a little dumbfounded, and told her: "Okay, take it back quickly."

"Don't you want it now?" Mai Ya was startled.

"What's the use of it now?" Milady pointed to herself, and said, "It's been more than an hour since the race started, and I've been running and fighting, and I'm in such a mess that even half of my trousers are missing. Then what? I Are you working so hard just to get back to the original point? Even if I get my badge back, I still can’t win.”

Malt was puzzled, and re-fastened the bandage on his calf. "Then you have to go to Luo Geng..."

"I did you such a big favor, and I ask you to do me a favor, isn't that fair?" Milady looked at her and said, "I was being chased by Siyado and Luo Geng at the same time, I need help I lead away."

Mai Ya puffed her mouth and thought for a while, then said: "If I don't agree, it's useless for you to hold the Mengsheng Family badge."

"If you don't agree, I won't be able to win," Milady said, intentionally exaggerating the consequences. "I won't be able to win, and neither will you. I'll throw the badge into the lake, and I won't give it to you."

"You're not very reasonable," Malt muttered, unconvinced. "I obviously didn't form an alliance with you in this round, and you included me in the action... I can also go to Luo Geng and ask him to give me two badges. In this way, I will save trouble—— What do you mean by that smile?"

Milady knew that she was quick-witted and cared about fairness. If she explained the situation clearly to her, there was a high possibility that Malt would lend a helping hand. "Look at this."

Mai Ya looked at the fragments of the session badge she took out, and was stunned.

"Unless Luo becomes more ruthless, makes enemies everywhere, and attacks a patriarch of another family like I did, he won't be able to find two badges for you." Milady gasped into her hand and said, " I ran around half the game for you, and now you can do nothing, isn't it fair?"

Malt thought for a while, and finally sighed.

"Between you and Luo Geng, you are still a little more likable." She muttered, "Okay, you must keep my badge safe. Tell me, what should I do now? "

The task Milady entrusted to her can be said to be not difficult, but it can also be said to be very difficult.

Siyado and Yugan kept a certain distance, pretending to be alone, and at this time they were looking for and attracting Milady to take the bait - but they didn't know that they gave Milady a chance to do their tricks .

"Find Siyado first, he's nearby, so it shouldn't be hard to find." Milady told her, "After I find him, I don't need you to do anything, you just need to follow him secretly. I won't Send you a signal, and you don't show up for a moment..."

"What signal?" Malt immediately asked, "What happens after the signal is sent?"

"When you hear my signal, you have to entangle Siyado for me and not let him leave." Milady asked with a smile, "Can you do this?"

Malt thought for a while, her face turned red.She looked as if she wanted to say it couldn't be done, so that she could throw the problem back to Milady; she kept scratching the bark with her fingers, and her eyes kept stroking the stick mechanism, Feeling that smoke was coming out of my ears, I finally said: "...it should be possible."

As soon as she said the words, her face was both calm and regretful.

"As for the signal," Milady said, nodding, "when you hear the whistle, that's your signal to stop Siyado from moving. Just hold him for five minutes, and I only need five minutes."

"It's a piece of cake." Before leaving, Mai Ya sighed again and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm right here," Milady said with a weary smile, sitting on the ground, "I'll take a breath first."

Now that there is an agency, Milady will naturally want to get Yugan's badge next.The two made an appointment to meet afterwards; she knew that Mai Ya would not find Xiyado right away, so she just took the opportunity to gather up some strength and set off to find Yugan—as long as she got Yugan's badge, Xiyado The speed is equivalent to being controlled by her. With his help even if he is unwilling, isn't she afraid that she will not be able to solve Luo Geng by then?

Milady's progress all the way to the present is mostly due to her careful planning; but she didn't know that today, her plan had just taken shape in her heart before it hit the rocks.

It was so unfortunate that the two of them were obviously nearby, but when they went out to look for their malt, they didn't see them, instead they ran into Luo Geng head-on after walking in the forest for a long time.

When Luo Geng suddenly walked out from a bush, Malt almost blurted out his heart along with the "ah".

Obviously such a tall young man, the golden red hair contrasted sharply with the wild vine bushes, but for some reason, until he showed himself, Mai Ya was surprised that he was here too—he was swept away by his eyes , Milady's badge suddenly seemed to be on fire, burning her calf.

"I, I'm..."

The sentence "I'm looking for you" couldn't be said no matter what, Mai Ya knew that he didn't have much time to react, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, "You are here, what a coincidence!"

Luo Geng looked at her, and the corners of his mouth moved heavily, as if there was a heavy weight on his face, preventing him from laughing. "It's not a coincidence," he slowly said the three words that Mai Ya had just said not long ago. "I'm here to find you."

Malt trembled violently. "What do you want me for?"

So far, even if she asked the question knowingly, every word she said could not be defined as a standard lie, so it was still manageable.

"Has Milady been in contact with you?" Luo Geng asked, squinting at her, "Where is she now?"

If you want to lie about these two questions, it will be very difficult.

Malt hates her character that even when she tells a lie, she feels empty in her heart as if she is about to fall off a cliff; however, no matter from the consideration of practical interests or from the annoying sense of morality, she cannot Milady's position was revealed—Mayat suddenly sang a song in her heart in a hurry.

Singing in her heart, she quickly slid out the lie that rolled on her tongue several times: "I don't know!"

This was really a milestone for her; just looking at Luo Geng's expression and reaction, Mai Ya couldn't tell if he really believed her or not.

Luo Geng still looked down at her, his thick eyebrows and red lips were motionless, and his eyes were lightly swept in a circle of light blue and black.

She was on guard, took a step back, and quietly turned the mechanism forward.

If Luo Genggen really wanted to do something, even if Malt couldn't compete physically, she was confident that she could make him suffer a lot with her skill and mechanical skills. As for whether she could catch her in the end, it would depend on luck.

Luo Geng didn't say a word, and looked at the malt up and down, as if he was also weighing the consequences of his actions in his heart.

He looked like a young man who was healthy and healthy, but suddenly suffered an undue torture—everyone could tell at a glance, he felt that he didn’t deserve such a fate—it was unimaginable, when he spoke the words said.

"People like you," he said with a sigh, "if only we could have a little self-knowledge."

Mai Ya's heart trembled, she straightened her waist unconsciously, and held the mechanism tightly in front of her body.

"In this world, you see, there are a small number of people who are born to sit on it. People in this world should have their own destiny and perform their own duties." Luo Geng said, walking slowly over. "If you should be a subordinate, you should be obedient. If you should be a part, you should oil yourself more. The Fengjiao family gave the descendants a chance to sit on it, but you... are destined to be a defective part. "

"Don't come here." Malt firmly suppressed the trembling of his hands, and said in a low voice, "Otherwise I will definitely make you pay for these words."

Luo didn't seem to hear it.

He took another step forward, and turned his eyes to her sideways, with a narrow face and a narrow smile. "I allow you to take what belongs to me for a while... because I don't want to waste any energy on you now. If you understand, just go away."

Although all kinds of thoughts are howling in her mind, Mai Ya knows that she can't stay for long, no matter why Luo Geng is willing to let her and her badge go, this may be her only chance to escape.

After plunging headfirst into the forest, Mai Ya turned her head warily and saw Luo Geng's back. For a moment, she almost thought that there was a large bouquet of flowers sticking crookedly in his belt—but when she looked closer, she almost didn't see Luo Geng's back. He held back his breath.

Mai Ya gritted his teeth, not daring to delay any longer, and hurried away.

So she didn't see it either, and Luo Geng squatted down on the spot.His eyes followed the weeds that the malt had just stepped on, passed through the crooked vines, and the shrubs with broken branches and leaves, and gradually traced a vague path.

He stood up and followed her silently; as if he could smell the breath of malt that hadn't dissipated, he traced the direction she came from backwards, and every step happened to land on the soft ground, from the dark green forest. Between them, he walked towards a lake of dark clouds and gray that gradually opened to him.

A figure was leaning on the tree trunk, his legs were long and intertwined, and his condensed muscle lines were relaxed.The wet dark blond hair fell softly, covering half of her face, as if she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Luo Geng looked at a short branch on the ground, stepped on his boots, and stepped on it lightly.

There was a "snap"; the figure immediately raised its head, and the mechanism chains on its body shone with light.

When their eyes met, he felt satisfied for the first time.

"Milady, it's time."
