Longmen Memoirs

A chill ran down Jim's spine. He took a step forward and turned sideways to protect George behind him.

"Uncle Jim..."

George looked at Jim standing in front of him and wanted to get past him, but Jim's right hand held him firmly.

"Don't show off." Jim said, lowering his voice slightly: "When things go wrong, just run away. Don't look back. Go find Boss Cao. Do you understand?"

"I can't do that."

"I told you not to show off, the attackers are not malicious. I'm not sure how long I can hold them off. Only by finding Boss Cao back can we have a chance to survive."

"Then I'll stop you and you run."

"Fart, I don't know what you are capable of. Then none of us can leave."

"I'm sorry to interrupt you. Have you finished discussing this?" The wolf opposite suddenly spoke.

She seemed very attentive, or full of information.

"Let me guess, you are discussing who will stay and hold me back, and who will take the opportunity to escape, right?" asked the wolf, and added: "Actually, you don't need to think so much. I wanted to take action just now, and none of you can run away, but I didn’t, do you know what that means?”

"Who are you?" George couldn't help but asked.

He had no intention of leaving Jim and running away.

"Me." The wolf pointed at himself: "Who do you think I am, who I am, whatever you think, enemy, friend, stranger, you can define it as you like."

She said it generously, with a nonchalant tone, and took a few steps back and forth.

"My friend suddenly appeared here. I wonder if we offended you, or is there a conflict between my friend and us?" Jim asked.

His hand rested on the short knife at his waist, holding the handle, but did not draw the weapon out immediately.

"You pretended to be members of one family in this city and attacked another family, provoking a conflict between the two parties. Don't you think you did it very covertly? The infected attacked family members, no matter what That family has no similar precedent in Syracuse. Do you know the consequences of this?"

the wolf asked curiously.

Of course Jim knew that, in fact, he had opposed this risky plan. Once their behavior was exposed to the public, let alone Grava, there would be no place for them in the entire Syracuse.

But he kept a straight face.

"I don't know what you are talking about, my friend. We people don't have the guts to attack family members."

"Oh? You still don't admit it."

"If my friends want to take action, they can come directly. There is no need to frame them in this way."

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, you infected people are really interesting, much more interesting than those families whose minds are all about honor and territory." The wolf suddenly laughed.

"You haven't done anything yet. Ah, are you afraid of me? Afraid that you will die here. These people around me are not dead yet, but whether they are dead or alive is in your hands."

"What do you mean?"

"Help you lure away the family member, the one wearing a black coat. She brought an injured Luper. She is in your hands. Give her to me to let you live."

"..."

George looked at Jim nervously. Jim didn't answer immediately and seemed to be hesitating.

"Uncle Jim..." George urged.

"It's a good deal, isn't it? Using an unrelated Luper to exchange for all of your lives is no loss compared to buying and selling you."

The wolf drew out the long knife, and she walked up to an infected person who was unconscious on the ground, and placed the sharp blade on the infected person's neck.

Jim still didn't answer. He held the handle of the dagger tightly.

"Every time you hesitate, I will kill someone, and they will all die in your hands."

The wolf raised his knife.

"I'm counting to three, one...three!"

The sword was swung down without hesitation.

"and many more!"

The long knife he swung stopped suddenly, a few centimeters away from his neck. The silver blade glowed coldly, and the wolf turned his head.

The person who shouted these words was not Jim, but George who was protected behind him.

"……and many more."

"Have you thought about it?"

"You keep your word." George asked uneasily, looking at the wolf in front of him hatefully.

"Of course, leave the person to me and I'll leave immediately." The wolf grinned.

Her smile is clean, but makes people feel evil.

"Then I..." George looked back at Jim, who grabbed his shoulder and pulled him backwards. He had already drawn the short knife from his waist.

"Oh?" The wolf raised his eyebrows: "Your hands are shaking?"

"It's been a long time since I've had sex with anyone, and my hands are raw." Jim replied.

"Not afraid of death."

"Afraid." Jim said, "But I'm different from the worthless brat next to me. I'm afraid of death, and I'm even more afraid of being tricked. With your skills, we can't stop you if you want to take away whoever you want. But, Instead of doing that, you asked us to hand the person over to you."

"so……"

"So you are not someone sent by those families in the city. What you said just now is just toying with us. I have seen the look in your eyes. It is the way a predator plays with prey that has nowhere to escape."

"Aren't you afraid that I would really do something just now?" Wolf asked, and she tapped the infected person on the ground with the tip of her knife.

"What's the difference?" Jim said.

The wolf put away the knife.

"There is no difference. Killing you is the same, but... that would be too boring." The wolf opened his hands and shook his head and said: "I'll ask again, you hand me over, I'll let you go, and then you can do your own thing. of."

Jim hesitated.

This time he really hesitated. He was not sure whether what the wolf in front of him said was true or false. If she didn't want to do it, there was no need for her to say it a second time. But she said it deliberately a second time, maybe she was trying to put it into perspective. Introduce the trap yourself, wait until you naively believe her words...

Jim wasn't sure. The guy in front of him was too dangerous. He had an intuition that if he took action, he would definitely die if he didn't make two moves.

"How can I trust you?"

"You have to believe me, you don't have the price to negotiate with me."

"..."

After a brief silence.

Jim gritted his teeth, pushed George behind him, and rushed towards the wolf on the opposite side with a short knife.

"Uncle Jim!"

"You bastard, get out of here."

"remarkably brave."

She didn't even use a knife. She just moved her steps and dodged Jim's dagger. Then she clasped her wrist with her free hand and removed the dagger from Jim's hand. The wolf's strength was not as strong as her thin body. It was unexpected. It was her strength that was astonishing, but Jim endured the pain.

The right hand lit up with a dark red light, and a flash of surprise flashed in the wolf's eyes.

Spells, not very proficient spells.

"As an infected person, you are not bad." The wolf said with a chuckle. Jim's fist glowing with dark red light struck the wolf's head in her sight. Pressing on Jim's wrist, the light of the spell stopped abruptly and suddenly went out.

"...It's a pity that the strength is too low."

The wolf added, removing both Jim's arms with a crisp sound.

The sharp blade continues to enlarge in sight.

"Stop! Stop!"

George rushed over regardless, and the wolf kicked Jim towards George. George hurriedly hugged the kicked Jim and was knocked to the ground.

"You brat, didn't I tell you to run away? Why did you come back? What did you come back for!"

Jim cursed.

"We don't know what you are capable of, so we usually give in to you, for fear of getting out of your way. If I really make a move, you may not be my opponent."

"You, alas, let me have these two arms removed for nothing...Syracus's foul language."

Jim looked up at the wolf, which was standing there not pursuing.

"...We can leave the person to you, but..."

He ultimately failed to say the following words.

They really didn't have the qualifications to bargain with the other party. If this brat could escape and find Boss Cao and tell him what happened here, there might be room for change.

But this brat is so stupid. Jim has never felt that this brat who is usually very smart has ever been so stupid. Now he just wants to give him a good slap in the face, provided that he can still move his hands.

George supported Jim.

The wolf followed the two men towards the stronghold behind them.

"Our people..." Jim looked at the people lying on the ground.

"Fainted." The wolf's voice sounded from behind.

"What's your relationship with that Luper?"

"If you shouldn't ask, it's better not to ask."

"... Your target is the man from Yan Kingdom named Chen. You are the killer sent by Luper's family to hunt them down, because that man wants to leave Syracuse with his wife."

"Wife?" Wolf was stunned: "Haha, did he really say that?"

"Is not it?"

"Oh, there's no need to continue testing."

"I don't remember that there was a white wolf in the Syracuse family. You are also an infected person. With your skills, it is impossible for you to be unknown in the ancient Syracuse books."

"You think you know Syracuse well," the wolf asked with a chuckle. "How much can you know about the Syracuse family hiding in this remote town?"

"We just want to live."

"Many people say that, so what does that have to do with me." The wolf replied nonchalantly.

They walked into the back of the stronghold, which was just a pile of low-rise houses that were common in slums, with some clothes hanging to dry at night, messy and crowded roads, and faces, including old people, children, and very few young people. Maybe it was because The young people are out.

They all seemed to know Jim. Some people greeted him and asked him how he was injured. He responded kindly. When someone asked about their family, he always said don't worry, everything is fine. .

"Is Doctor Dorian still behind?"

"The doctor hasn't come out yet, I'll take you there."

"No, we'll go there by ourselves." Jim refused the woman.

"Do you mind letting George leave first? His family is still waiting for him." Jim suddenly asked.

"Uncle Jim, I'll follow you."

"Whatever." The wolf replied nonchalantly, and then said, "You stay."

They do want to live, and their lives are not good, but compared to what the wolf has seen, the lives of the infected here are already very good.

For today's big event, they gathered all the infected people together in advance. In order to better protect them, and to clear the suspicion of the infected people in the future, what Cao Zhi said was half true and half false. The people were gathered together, pretending that they did not leave the city. Maybe they really had a way to leave, but as he said himself, a large part of these people might die outside.

They have not experienced the wilderness and do not know how to survive in the wilderness. What a person and a group need to survive in the wilderness are completely different.

The more they need means more troubles and higher risks, especially among them there are elderly people, those with serious illnesses, and children.

After leaving a relatively stable environment, an organization with such a large number of infected people will have difficulties wherever they go.

The wolf did not doubt that Jim had shown her this on purpose.

How could she feel?

She actually didn't have any feelings. Everyone lived in a different way. No matter what they did was right or wrong, what they did was what they did. This was something that couldn't be changed.

"There are quite a few infected people here."
