[Sword III] Seeking Wings

That is an entire structure in the core part of her thousand receivers, because the precision bearings made of special substances will deteriorate when exposed to air, and they are usually sealed.

However, it was obvious that when Chi Xiao took it out and put it on the ground, he intentionally opened the seal.

Now, if she doesn't let him go, she puts it back together as soon as possible, and the whole thousand receivers will be finished.

Tang Xiaoyi wanted to hit someone.

She endured and endured, and finally just pinched Chi Xiao's shoulder with controlled strength, and said through gritted teeth, "Modin, come here, hold this dead mouse for me—press it to death, you're welcome!"

Then quickly turned around to salvage parts.

However, Modin was really useless.

The young man seemed to have not let go of the psychological shadow of being almost accidentally killed by Chi Xiao before. The other party just resisted a little, and he immediately shrank to the side in fright, stretching out his hands and daring not to touch him.

Tang Xiaoyi watched Chi Xiao's weak panting, leaned on the frame and slowly moved over to pick up the flagon, and then lost his strength and fell into Modin's arms.

She even finished installing the thousand receivers, and he just recovered a little bit, and apologized to Modin in a weak voice, asking him to help open the lid of the pot.

It should be because he was afraid that she would come and snatch it. The next moment, Chi Xiao directly took Modin's hand and drank quickly, until he began to cough heart-piercingly, and blood spilled on the front of his clothes.

Tang Xiaoyi was so panicked that the hairs all over his body were going to explode, he pounced on him with hands and feet, and hugged him tightly in his arms.Seeing the shocking large bloodstain on his lips, her fingertips trembled violently uncontrollably, almost unable to keep track of his pulse.

Then, after confirming that his life was not in danger, he let go of his hands and sat at a certain distance beside him. Before he had the strength to turn his eyes to look at her, he successfully put away all the overly intense expressions.

——Because Chi Xiao also didn't want to recognize her.

Therefore, she will continue to treat him as a temporary teammate of a hostile camp, and she will not expose any unnecessary concerns.

After all, in the future itinerary, there will be many confrontations like the fight in the previous illusion.

They conduct official business, fight openly and secretly, and pretend to be ignorant when they meet, not only for their respective camp positions.

It is also an important real show that should be performed well in order to eradicate the powerful enemy with fangs that is watching them and realize the grand strategy of the entire region.

"...All right, I'm counting on you to be ruthless. You've already been drinking, and you won't be able to get up all the way without the injection."

Looking up to the sky and blinking for a while, Tang Xiaoyi got rid of the soreness in his eye sockets that went straight to the bottom of his heart. Tang Xiaoyi resumed his usual neat demeanor, and took the silver needle from Chi Xiao's slightly loosened hand, "Lie down, I will Let's do it."

"—Okay, now, let me ask you, this acupuncture method is essentially torture, and the after-effects are so serious that it is enough to be in pain for a lifetime, and at least 30 years of life will be lost. Do you have a cure? If not, I will never kill people in vain. "

After successfully disarming him, she regained her confidence and came to check on him solemnly and unquestionably.

"Yes." Chi Xiao replied, "My master, Daoist Lingxu, has excellent medical skills and has refined many miraculous medicines that can cure such diseases."

Seeing that Tang Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows, which meant that he was not convincing enough, he added, "...Actually, I have seen such an example. I have a younger brother... who was tortured by you wicked people, and I will He brought back Chunyang for treatment, and he recovered within three months."

... This is probably why Chi Xiao is familiar with this vicious secret technique.

Tang Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

——But soon, like an intuition, she couldn't help recalling the lover of Miss Xiu who was killed by her revenge.

The Taoist leader met Miss Xiu, who saved him from the cruel torture.

——And Tang Xiaoyi himself was the catalyst for that torture, and even one of the participants.

No... such a coincidence.

Tang Xiaoyi felt a slight sweat seep from the palm of her hand, and she hastily squeezed her fingertips hard.When he let go the next moment, both his thoughts and expressions returned to normal.

But Chi Xiao still noticed the change in her eyes at this moment.

He stared at her for a moment without speaking.

***

It was already late at night when Tang Xiaoyi executed the sentence on his most important old friend with his own hands.

Seeing Chi Xiao's brave expression of gritting her teeth, as well as her clothes and long hair that had been drenched in cold sweat for several rounds, an unprecedented sense of heaviness swept over her inside and outside.

When pulling out the last needle, Tang Xiaoyi almost felt that all his energy was also withdrawn, so that he didn't even want to clean up the tools, and just wanted to fall asleep on the spot like Modin.

——It seems that when I wake up in the morning and see Chi Xiao who has regained his mobility, he will treat the nightmarish scenes tonight as nothingness and forget about them.

However, Chi Xiao called out to her at this moment, "Don't sleep. There is still a little wine left, let's drink it together, don't waste it."

Because of the effect of the "torture", his voice already had some strength, but on the contrary, he could hear the irregular breath.The sweat-soaked long hair was held in the palm of his hands tightly pressing his chest, and with the obvious trembling of his fingertips, it continuously reflected pale and shaking waves.

——he can no longer bear the pain by himself, and needs to talk to her to divert his attention.

Tang Xiaoyi looked up at the sky and blinked several times, then sat down beside Chi Xiao as he said, and took two glasses to pour wine.

"Miss Tang, why did you join the Valley of the Evil?" Chi Xiao asked her.

"...Oh, that's right. Does the Taoist know about the battle of Fenghua Valley 20 years ago?" Tang Xiaoyi lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, and replied aloud, "Back then, the Tang Sect Beggar Gang joined forces to fight against the Ming Cult, but the decisive battle here In this battle, my father was killed by a Mingjiao disciple. Later, that Mingjiao joined the Haoqi League, and I entered the hostile Wicked Valley to find opportunities for revenge."

It was indeed because of this that Tang Xiaoyi joined the Valley of the Wicked in terms of identity, but she avenged her revenge five years ago, and everything was cleared.

She is still working in the stronghold of the camp now, and she really entrusted her ideals in this life to the sentence of freedom and happiness. The opportunity was actually the acquaintance with Miss Xiu.

However, she must not tell Chi Xiao.

An ominous intuition—intensified after Chi Xiao mentioned her junior brother—made her have a deep premonition for no reason that if the two of them had any communication on this matter, it might cause unforeseen and even irreversible conflicts. Evil consequences.

"...According to what you said, you were bound by hatred and had to commit yourself to the evil way, and you were ordered to fight on the front line every day, and you suffered all kinds of life and death."

After hearing this, Chi Xiao raised his glass to her, took a sip of the wine, and sighed softly, "Miss Tang has been in the valley for many years, but she can neither be at ease, nor suffer forever. If I think about it, if I can't be a real villain by nature, I'm the valley of the wicked. I never treated you sincerely. If so, why not turn around?"

"...Why don't you understand anything?" Tang Xiaoyi was taken aback.

Then he raised his eyebrows again, raised his glass to Chi Xiao, and turned his head to look at his eyes that were especially clear because he was enduring the pain, "Don't think that we in the Valley of the Wicked are only self-serving, lawless people—

Do you know that the people in the world who are envied and hated by you righteous people are not only evil people? "

"—Do you know how many good people do not want to be bullied by the rich and powerful, but they fight in court but are accused of false accusations and are wanted all over the country; Temporarily compromised to protect the common people, but was speculated to collude with evil ways, until the three became tigers, ruined...?

They are single and weak, and have no evil deeds, but they are "recognized" that they have done a lot of harm, and the whole world will punish them.But even if only one of them clears himself up, and the yamen, clan elders, common people...the one with the most people is the "reason" that should be believed in the right way, wronged or wronged, there must be a place in the world that allows them to live, and such people There is only the Valley of the Wicked who has been besieged by you for years.

Therefore, I entered the valley as a warrior, and I am willing to be called the evil way in this life, and I am shackled by blood, just to protect the wronged people in the world from suffering, and to be at ease.

——Since I am already in the body and thinking about Gao An, why should I look back? "

Tang Xiaoyi swayed his legs and drank the wine. After deliberately blurring the specific opportunity, he answered in a smooth and casual voice.

She doesn't think there is anything unique or great about this so-called ideal, so it's easy to talk about it in casual situations at this time.

Because like her, there are many decent families who want to become "villains" with a clean body for this purpose.

——There are enough to make the Valley of the Wicked, which was originally a hell on earth full of viciousness, lack of resources, financial resources, and lack of organization and discipline, transform into a rivalry with the Haoqi League, which gathers the essence of the righteous way, and even get the imperial court to coordinate together to fight against the enemy. A powerful force that defends the people of the country and the people on the front line.

However, seeing Chi Xiao looking back, with emotional and unfamiliar eyes as if he was getting to know her again, Tang Xiaoyi suddenly felt uncontrollable uneasiness in her heart, and taking the opportunity to refill the wine, she quickly turned her back and left.

"... Yin Yu, you are really... a very good person."

Chi Xiao was behind her, as if in a weak trance, and said intermittently as if he was distracted, "You must know... In the Valley of the Wicked there are not only real gentlemen, but also real villains... You also give them shelter and help them What...?"

Tang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment.

Although reason clearly warned that this was just her wishful thinking, she still couldn't ignore what her intuition felt from this sentence, pointing to those ominous hints of the past that must never be stated clearly.

In particular, he suddenly called her "Yin Yu" as if on purpose - her code name for operations in the stronghold.

The author has something to say: 1. I have no responsibility to imagine why the Valley of the Wicked has such resources, financial resources and organizational discipline, and there are so many decent people from innocent backgrounds (players) who are not defected from the sect ==

This is obviously not the case in the game's official setting, but according to the official setting, I don't think it is possible to rule out the existence of people who have the idea of ​​a heroine
