Wicked documents

"Worried?" Bai Xinyue asked back, stretching her finger towards the coffee cup.She didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. From Luo Ying's perspective, she could only see the reflection of the lens. The expressionless Bai Xinyue seemed particularly unpredictable. "Comparatively speaking, it should be you who are more worried about the life and death of the fire, right?"

Bai Xinyue's composure was impeccable, but he forgot that the coffee had been served for a long time, and it was already cold.He picked it up without knowing it, and the cool liquid poured down his throat, which was really unpleasant.

If Huolian was here, he would have jumped up and laughed at Bai Xinyue's bluff.But Luo Ying is not Huo Lian after all, and she has far more awe than understanding of the chief of the seven-member group, so it's not surprising that she was bluffed for a while.

Luo Ying also felt that her mood at the moment was very complicated, and she couldn't distinguish other emotions for the time being, but one was particularly obvious, and she knew that she was very angry. "Since you don't care about his life or death, from today on, Master Huolian will be taken over by us."

Putting down the coffee that had completely changed in taste, Bai Xinyue spread her hands indifferently, and said, "I've said it before, it was my idea to come to J City, and it's your business to interfere, and the final choice is whether to stay or not." You can only leave it to Huo Lian to make his own decision. The whole thing is complicated but also very interesting, everyone can decide their own part, and others have no right to interfere."

The other party's complacent attitude seemed to declare that no matter what, Huo Lian would eventually return to him.Luo Ying didn't know where his self-confidence came from, but it undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for her, "You are so sure, don't you think Mr. Huolian is one of your objects?"

Bai Xinyue probably smiled, but the short voice sounded really sinister. "If it's just an object, he and I will stay on the island at this moment. I won't bring him to the auction at all, and I won't give you a chance to contact him."

After a few words, Bai Xinyue felt a little regretful, why would she say this to an outsider?It seemed that he was even more out of control than he expected.That damn stupid bird, others can fly away with him, but won't he fly back by himself?

After entering the wooden house, you can feel the sense of majesty all around.

If someone with a certain knowledge of architecture reads it, they will probably be able to understand it—from the outside, it should be a three-story wooden building, but in fact there is only one floor inside, and there is no partition wall to block it. The space is much larger, and the so-called second and third floors only have fences around the perimeter, which is a bit like a caisson.Similar architectural styles seem to only appear in oriental palaces.

Of course, the real palace will definitely be much more magnificent than the wooden house in front of you, but considering the icy and snowy environment outside, it has been built purely with wood, this peculiar style house is already considered a miracle.

The exterior wall still retains the style of logs, probably to deceive people to a certain extent. After all, no one can guarantee that no outsiders will step into this pure land. The appearance is specially imitated by the ski resort in front of the mountain, which can indeed play a role in the senses. The effect of confusion.

However, when it comes to the interior, the cover-up seems to be superfluous. The polished wooden floor can be seen, and the smooth texture is like the natural skin of a girl.It is impossible to have such a large fir tree in the world. Naturally, the floor can only be spliced ​​together. It should be very delicate craftsmanship and skills, and the seams are so subtle that they can hardly be seen.

Two rows of deep red and gold embroidered cushions are lined up one by one, and directly in front of them is a platform three steps higher, on which there are separate seats. The background of the seats is a huge screen with a floor-standing lantern on each side.Even the furnishings here imitate the form of the palace, giving people a sense of time confusion.

There were quite a few people sitting on the cushions on both sides. Although there were still some vacant seats, everyone who could come must have come.It's not that Huo Lian doesn't feel any lumps, and when he receives the eyes of everyone focusing on him, he knows why these things are here.But he didn't care at all, but went straight through the hall.

Of course, there was also a person sitting in the upper seat. He was originally the front-stage promoter and behind-the-scenes manipulator for the realization of today's scene. When it came time to reap the results, he would never miss it no matter what.

Perhaps in order to keep in harmony with the surrounding furnishings, the man at the head is wearing a classical style black cloak, with a smooth and smooth texture, and there is not a single variegated color to be found. Even people who don't know anything about fur can see that it is extraordinary. .The lantern was behind him, so it was impossible to clearly describe his face. In the semi-darkness, only a pair of eyes could be seen clearly.

Such a pair of eyes should be brighter than the flames of the lantern, otherwise they would not be so eye-catching, but this is only the first impression, if you take a closer look at the second look, you will feel that the eyes seem to be covered with a layer of frivolity The water mist is indescribably gentle and charming.This kind of gaze has already transcended gender restrictions, and when it meets four eyes, the fragrance of the moon, the softness of the water, and countless delusional dreams, all of a sudden rush into my mind, and I only look forward to being separated from him again. Get closer, look longer, and have a good taste of the world of mortals.

However, there are always some people in this world who are ungrateful, and a word will be very appropriate for such people-disgusting scenery.

It's not that Huo Lian didn't meet the man's eyes, but what aroused was not surprise, but confusion.However, these small issues will be discussed later, there is something that Huo Lian pays more attention to at the moment——

A folding screen as a background.

An ink painting of a seascape.

Presumably this painter has very advanced skills, and only used black and white to create a scene of turbulent waves and changing colors.Huo Lian only stood in front of the screen for a short while, already a little dizzy, the storm wrapped the waves breaking through the paper, and directly attacked him, the person outside the painting, as if he would be blown by the wind the next moment. Blown over, swallowed by the waves.

The feeling is so strong, it's like riding a flat boat tossing up and down in the hurricane waves, it is inevitable to feel a little nauseous, like seasickness.At this point, it seems that it is not just a reason for painting skills, there must be some mystery on this screen.Suddenly realizing this, Huo Lian quickly bit the tip of his tongue to calm himself down.

Finally, he was no longer affected by the sharp pictures, but Huo Lian gave up when he saw no improvement.He was still staring at it, more precisely, at a corner of the screen.

No matter in terms of position or space, such a small corner is nothing to put on the whole screen, but Huo Lian decided that this place is the core of the whole picture.

A woman bound by dense chains on a reef.

Her hair was draped, her feet were bare, and her ragged clothes could barely cover her body, and she couldn't even see her original luxurious appearance.There was a fine liquid flowing slowly in the crevices of the rocks behind him, the monotonous black ink could not show the original color, but Huo Lian recognized it at a glance, it was blood, the blood bubbling continuously from the woman's body.

The chains were tied too tightly, and the roots were cut into the skin-flesh, causing countless scars.And this woman is so slender, it seems that just a moment, a short moment, her body will be torn apart.There are also wind and waves, even if it is just the splashed water droplets on the top of the waves, to her, they are nothing more than a sharp knife, enveloping her densely.

Injury upon injury, pain upon pain, never ending.

Huo Lian was so focused on the painting that he left everyone in the room alone.Others held their breaths and did not dare to interrupt, but the man in the first seat knew that going on like this was not an option.It's not a big deal to wait, and they've been waiting for years, and they don't mind a few extra minutes.

However, there is a hidden danger in this matter. The man Bai Xinyue is like a cockroach. Even if Luo Ying is dispatched, it is still a dream for the little girl to deal with the treacherous and cunning chief of the seven-member group. No one can be sure about Bai Xinyue Will you suddenly lose patience and rush over to ask for someone?

The more anxious he was, the slower he moved. He stood up lazily, and then walked towards Huolian at a slow speed. Looking at him, others thought he was still.But the last movement was surprisingly fast, no one could see how he moved, and his whole body was hung on Huo Lian's back.

Huo Lian knew that the other party was walking towards him, but he didn't care if he knew it.It's just that after a moment, Huo Lian's intestines were green with regret, that guy... that guy actually blew on his neck!

"Is this the first time you've seen this painting?"

Huo Lian was almost not sure if he really heard the question, and even if he did, he couldn't be sure whether the voice came from his ears or just echoed in his mind.There is no need for any other reason, just the sound itself, which has already tickled the whole body of the person with numb itches.Huo Lian shivered and didn't dare to speak. He knew that if he spoke at this time, his voice would be trembling, so he just nodded slightly.

The man assumes that he is a cloak, which cannot be hung on the other party.Breathing closer, following every syllable he uttered, he drilled straight into Huolian's collar. "This is really strange. Although I imitated this pair of screens, the content on the painting is no stranger to every monster."

Even if it is just an imitation painting, it is quite remarkable to be able to achieve such a majestic state.Huo Lian didn't expect that this screen was made by this guy, his surprise was beyond words, and he almost couldn't help but praise a few words.But looking back, the other party had already frowned with a smile, and there was a line of big shiny characters like "Am I very good?" clearly written on his face.Huo Lian suddenly couldn't say anything nice, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After thinking about it, Huo Lian changed something more important, "You just said that this painting is familiar to all monsters, what do you mean?"

The man showed a distressed expression, "Oh, you are really giving me a problem. I am the worst at telling stories. Let's just talk about it briefly. The woman in the painting is the sinner of the entire monster clan."

sinner?Dare to tie her to the reef to endure torture, just out of some kind of punishment?

There is a little bit of sympathy, and a little bit of unbearable, as for the rest of the emotions are very complicated, Huo Lian can't distinguish clearly for a while, he just vaguely thinks that the woman in the painting is not guilty of that. "What the hell did she do?"

"It's been said that I'm not good at telling stories, aren't you forcing me?" The man looked at him sideways, expressing his resentment. "But since it's a story, it's all recorded in the book. You can go to the study to find it later, and it will be more detailed than what I said."

Huo Lian was obviously dissatisfied with such a perfunctory attitude, and the other party immediately saw it.With a long sigh, "monsters are stronger than humans, and you are born with extremely powerful abilities. You know this. But the reality today is that monsters are enslaved by humans, and even the basic survival cannot be guaranteed. .What do you think caused the current situation?"

This doubt has been lingering in Huo Lian's mind for a long time, but it's a pity that no matter how hard he thinks, he still has no clue.

The man's hand was on the screen, and under his finger was the woman tied to the rock.He exerted some force, and the paper was already slightly deformed. It seemed that as long as he added more strength, the screen would be torn by him on the spot. "It's all because of her curse."

"Curse?" Huo Lian was like a parrot learning his tongue, just repeating in a daze.The decline and decline of a powerful race, so that it was stepped on by another race, the root cause is... a curse?Is this a little ridiculous?Huo Lianxin said, no wonder he couldn't think of it, even if he was killed, he wouldn't think of such a bizarre reason.

The man probably also realized that he was losing his composure, so he reduced the strength on his fingers, and instead lightly stroked the face of the woman in the painting.He did it very reluctantly, limited by the space, the woman's face is only the size of a fingernail, and he didn't depict too many details.

Following his light and subtle movements, Huo Lian realized that he had just made a mistake - after seeing the torture the woman suffered, he thought she could no longer bear the torture, the severe pain all over her body and the bitter wind and rain around her had already distorted her face Miserable.However, at this time, after a careful look, she found that her appearance was calm, and she even had a smile as indifferent as a breeze and a bright moon.

The other party said that it was a fake painting, and Huo Lian couldn't be sure if he did something wrong while painting it.If he deliberately painted a woman's woman like this, what is the purpose?To express his silent sarcasm?And if it is the other way around, if he follows the original appearance of the original work every stroke when drawing, then why can this woman still laugh?

Do you think that your crime is unforgivable and accept all the punishments imposed on you?

Or, with peace of mind, chains, storms, huge waves... in the end they can only prove their innocence?

The man spoke again, it was no longer the hooked voice just now, it was completely low and almost pale. "She was originally the high priest of the whole clan of monsters, but for some unknown reason, the high priest who was supposed to pray for the prosperity of the whole clan and protect the health of the clansman, one day cast a curse on the whole clan to weaken the clan of monsters. In the end, she couldn't withstand the invasion of the human race. , and slowly evolved to today’s situation.”

Huo Lian frowned, obviously concentrating on his thoughts.He is like this when he is beside Bai Xinyue. Don't look at this firebird who is careless most of the time, but he has the right idea. Even Bai Xinyue's ideas are not so easy for him to accept. of.What's more, what you are currently facing is a stranger whose friend or enemy is unknown.

Huo Lian's attitude surprised the man. He deliberately placed the screen in the most conspicuous place, and he expected that Huo Lian would be attracted to him as soon as he arrived, but it was a pity that this scheming failed in the end.Unexpectedly, after Huo Lian was shocked by the picture, he could still maintain his sanity and not be influenced by the "story".

However, this is also good.Since the ultimate goal of this plan is to find an owner for all the monsters, no one wants the owner to be a fool.It doesn't matter if it's not easy to persuade, it's better than finding a puppet.

The man smiled, his expression was really changing. Before, he had a lazy posture to seduce people, but now he is clearly extremely pleased.However, it is better to be on guard against this kind of people with fickle expressions. They know how to control themselves very well, so it is difficult to tell how much of the part they show is true or false.

I don't know if it's because Huo Lian's mind is too simple. On the contrary, his intuition is very keen. He suddenly realized that he was definitely not as simple as "being kidnapped at the ski resort". When he arrived, there was already a conspiracy against him quietly unfolding.

Anxiety made Huo Lian take action immediately, but after all, there are too many people in this room, so it's not easy to turn his face suddenly.Trying to keep his face calm, Huo Lian's leg quietly took a step back.What other people think is other people's business, but Huo Lian himself doesn't think "running away" is a shameful thing. Isn't it stupid to fight hard even though you know you can't beat it?
