Ocarina of the Crescent

How beautiful can a woman be?

Looking at thousands of years old, Polusalino had a real understanding.There are many beautiful women in the world. In terms of appearance alone, he has seen those who are not inferior to a thousand years old, but there is no woman who can attract people's attention like her.

A woman with a beautiful appearance may be enchanting or charming, with a variety of amorous feelings, usually only arouse sensual desire/desire, and there may be some cleverness and beauty among them.

The words are understated, the red lips are opened and closed carelessly, and the seemingly mysterious dilemma is revealed in an instant. Those black and white pupils are as cold and sharp as a knife, and they are dazzling and bright.

Compared with such a thousand-year-old hundred-year-old, all other beauties in the world, all charming, become eclipsed in an instant.

She took over the dominance of the scene, and as she acted cunningly and cunningly, she turned around to solve the murder case. Even if the powerful and indifferent former general Zefa looked at her, his sharp eyes that see through the world are full of unmistakable appreciation. with wonder.

Polusalino is convinced that this evening will be engraved in the hearts of all the men present, just like him.

Some kind of subtle boiling blood was spreading in his body, Polusalino raised his hand uncontrollably, brushed the corner of his slightly parted lips with his fingertips, and laughed hoarsely, "If you are a hundred years old, , even the kiss of death is fine~"

After the words fell, she was stunned, and the murderous intent in her eyes seemed to be fleeting, but in a flash, it seemed that there was something dangerous and dark in the depths that suppressed the ferocity.

Staring at him deeply, she suddenly turned her face away, and gnawed directly on his fingertips.

"——!" Polusalino suffocated severely, and his breathing was instantly heavy, but he could only stiffen and dare not move, lest he would fall into an extremely bad situation if he didn't pay attention.

In fact, she didn't bite hard, biting his flesh between her teeth, grinding and biting slowly, the soft and moist touch turned into a long and delicate torture, and the delicate tingling gave off a maddening crisp/itch .

In this case, because even the slightest movement will make him lose his mind.

……

I don't know how long it took, a few minutes or a few seconds, in short, for Polusalino, there is no sense of time in his muddled mind, and the gentle evacuation wrapped around his fingertips, the wonderful torment is finally over.

After grinding his teeth, the thousand-year-old expression also became calm, and the eyes became clear again. The violent haze just now disappeared like a flower blooming in the epiphyllum.

She gave him a blank look, then she stood up leisurely and turned her face in another direction.

Polusalino lowered his eyes, glanced at the wet fingertips, then quickly turned his eyes away, smiled wryly to himself, then stood up, put his hands behind his back pretending to be inadvertent, and clenched his hands into fists.

Tightening force, holding the fingertips in the palm, shallow blood oozes from the gap between the nails.

Lifting his eyelids calmly, and looking around, Polusalino found that other people's eyes were extremely strange.

Xu Shi hadn't recovered from witnessing the interaction between him and her, and everyone's eyes turned back and forth between him and her, with an unconcealable astonishment on their faces.

Gradually, the young sailors turned their attention to Chitose Baisui, with a very subtle strangeness in their eyes.

With a cold snort, Polusalino forced himself to suppress the displeasure emerging in his heart, staggered those gazes that would make him want to get angry, and looked at the few attentions that still stopped at him.

Among them, a particularly sharp line of sight is Zefa.

The man squinted a pair of gray-blue eyes, his expression was stern, and there was a line of speculation in the depths of his eyes.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Zefa suddenly snorted and looked away, but said nothing.

……

After a long time, the strange and stagnant atmosphere was shocked by the strange noise brought by the air from a distance.

It was dull and sharp, as if something was scratching desperately through the door, or as if thick paper was being torn. However, those voices were thin and short, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Hearing the change, the expressions of all the people present changed slightly.

Brigadier General Triton suddenly raised his hand and pressed the long knife at his waist, "Guards!" He ordered in a deep voice while raising his feet, and sprinted in the direction of the sound in an instant.

The falcon-like figure disappeared beyond the corner in the blink of an eye, and the guards who received the order followed immediately.

The few people who were still on the scene looked at each other, and Zefa took a few steps forward, from the original station separated by a wall from the open sea to the position between the crowd and the corner of the corridor, to block the possibility of a surprise attack.

Polusalino stretched out his hand and pulled Qiantui Baisui behind him, and then looked at the direction where the abnormality occurred, with a slight frown on his brows.

That direction is the residential area of ​​Dumuzi and his party. In addition to the king, concubine, and prime minister, the room is also full of slaves, but under normal circumstances, the slaves dare not act rashly, because the miniature bombs locked on their necks may kill them at any time. Blow your head.

Then, it might be the maid who left just now, and the guard who was interrogating her. Something happened to those two people.

……

After thinking for a while, Polusalino glanced at Shikoti, who was hiding at the back of the crowd, from the corner of his eye. Her maid was the only one who didn't wear a lock ring. She should be a harem lady and got Shikoti's trust.

Or, the maid was not a slave in the first place.

If that was an accident... what did the waitress do?

At a glance, Polusali found that Shikoti was supported by the military doctor, or it could be said that she was restrained with a sense of detention. Her expression looked the same as that of everyone else, with some confusion and panic.

I believe that those panics were brought to her by thousands of years, not for other reasons.

After carefully examining the king's beloved concubine for a few moments, Polusalino then retracted his gaze and lowered his gaze, and found that Chitose and Baisui were looking in the same direction as him.

Quietly staring at Shikoti, the light in the thousand-year-old eyes is dark and unpredictable.

In an instant, she noticed his gaze, turned her head, slightly raised her lips, and silently revealed a half-sarcastic, half-sarcastic smile with a hint of comprehension.

The brow bone twitched slightly, and Polusalino looked away calmly, pretending not to notice the strange look in his eyes at this moment.

……

After waiting for a while, the person who went to investigate heard back.

Following the rush of footsteps, a group of people walked out from the corner at the end. Brigadier General Triton walked in the forefront, followed by guards, and those guards were carrying a heavy object.

Not long after, several people came to the front. Triton was in a hurry, paused slightly, and then waved his hand. After that, the guards put the heavy object with a strong bloody smell on the ground.

It was a blanket woven with gold and emerald greens, and something was vaguely wrapped inside. The ink-like fishy juice penetrated through the fabric fibers, infusing among the numerous patterns of flowers.

Looking around quickly, Triton's voice was low and gloomy, his brows were full of anger, "Do you want to see it?"

"Don't look, I can probably guess what it is." The one who answered Triton was Qiantui Baisui, who poked his head out and glanced at the rug, with a disgusted tone, "What's so interesting about dead people."

"Oh?" Triton's expression slowed down, and he said again, "Then can you guess who it is?"

"Who else could it be? Bagua, of course." Chitose Baisui answered in the affirmative.

Polusalino, who originally wanted to stop her from slipping away, paused, couldn't help turning his head to look at Shikoti, and asked in a low voice, "Bagua? Are you dying now?"

"Yeah~ The efficiency of the harem of Dumuzi is really low~" While speaking, he sneered at the king's favorite concubine with some sarcasm.

……

When Polusalino retracted his gaze from staring at Shikoti, he saw Qiansui Baisui standing by the carpet, staring at him with dead fish eyes.

After disliking him, she looked at Triton again, "Where did you find it? It shouldn't be his living quarters, right?"

Pausing for a few seconds, as if thinking about something, then she raised her eyebrows again, "If Bagua is a door fruit ability user, he will escape if he is not poisoned to death. Was he doing something before he escaped?"

Triton's brows quickly flashed some complex expressions, and his eyes staring at Qiansui were suddenly stained with deep meaning, "Bagua is in Shikoti's room."

"He seemed to be looking for something, but before he could find it..." He raised his chin and tapped the rug while speaking, Triton said with a vaguely sympathetic expression, "Death of a devil fruit user will cause the ability to fail, he…"

"It doesn't matter if you don't watch it, it will scare the young girl." In the end, Triton's tone became weird, with frowning brows, and his expression seemed a little disgusted.

After a moment of silence, Chitose Baisi lowered his eyelashes and spoke again, his voice was low and lazy, with a kind of indifference close to judgment, "You know that lovers are cold-hearted and good at using poison, so you have always prepared the antidote.

"Eat it quickly when the poison occurs."

"At this moment, you are extremely angry. Because of your lover's betrayal, you decided to take revenge before fleeing."

"You used your ability to enter her room to look for it, and in a fit of rage you forgot that there are some poisons in this world that can invade the body through skin contact."

"You were poisoned again, and you tried to go back while struggling. Unfortunately, the latter kind of poison made you only have time to tear open the space, and you just took a step and you collapsed."

"With resentment, you swallow your last breath."

……

After finishing the words given to the deceased, Chitose raised his eyes, a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Am I right?"

The last sentence was about Triton, and there was a hint of asking for credit in his tone.

After a long time, Triton sighed, deep in his hoarse and deep voice, there were ups and downs of other emotions, "You girl...you are so smart that people are frightened."

Tsk-tsk, Polusalino stared at the burning-eyed Triton, frowned indistinctly, and then quickly focused all his attention on Chitose Baisui.

"Actually, I'm not smart at all, but I've met too many people." The corners of her mouth deepened a little, she shrugged casually, then turned her face away again, looking backward, "Is Mrs. Shikoti okay?"

"If you want to faint, just faint. After all, you are a nobleman, and you can play the flute of the new moon. I can't do anything to you."

As her words fell, Shikodi, who was originally terrified, relaxed, her figure swayed, and her whole body suddenly collapsed onto the military doctor who was supporting her.

Xu Shi was caught off guard, the military doctor said, and was a little flustered for a while. While supporting the unconscious person, he slowly let her lie down flat with his strength, and finally freed his hand to hold her side of the neck, tested her pulse for a while, and then looked up, " Just unconscious, she needs to rest."

"Take her down—" Triton waved his hand indifferently, paused, and then said again, "A woman who has the courage to stand at the scene of a murder and has no fear of being exposed, such a woman will not be so weak."

"Presumably the reason for her coma is not seeing Bagua." When she spoke, she folded her arms and lowered her eyes, as if she was talking to herself, and she didn't know who she was speaking to.

Immediately, one of the guards slowly took Shikoti away from here.

……

It wasn't until the king's favored concubine left the stage that Qiansui Baisui, who had been watching coldly, said, "She has nothing to worry about, but she is also worried that I will kill her regardless."

After waiting for everyone's eyes to cast away, she pursed her lips and continued, "After all, she is a pregnant woman. No matter what, the unborn baby is innocent."

"That's why you said those words to reassure her?" Polusalino thought for a while, and then he realized something, but after he understood it, a little complexity appeared in his heart, "Bai Sui, are you doing it for her child? She works..."

"Children are not born to bear burdens." She looked at him for a while, her eyes slightly brightened, "Every baby is hope, a priceless treasure bestowed by God."

"Yeah~ Baisui, you like children very much~" The pure softness and joy in her eyes made him happy too, "I will definitely be a good mother in the future."

"Maybe—" Her tone was noncommittal, but the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

After falling silent, she lowered her face again and stared at the ball wrapped in brocade on the ground, her expression became gloomy again, "The black one is the blood after poisoning, right?"

"What is he looking for... the Ocarina of the Crescent Moon?"

"No." Triton replied, "The Ocarina of the Crescent Moon has been temporarily protected by the Navy, after all, it is an important thing."

After thinking about it, she lowered her gaze a little, and said while looking at the rug, "Many places in Shikoti's room have been turned over, especially the corner where jewelry is placed."

"When Bagua was found, he had an empty box at his feet."

"Do you want to see it?" After asking, Triton took something wrapped in a thick gauze from the guard on the side, unwrapped it and held it in the air, "The box is empty, Bagua It should have been the last one to come across."

……

Speaking of this... Polusalino raised his eyebrows with great interest, "How did you guess that Shikoti is good at using poison, even the poison/drug that comes into contact with the skin?"

"Because that woman only wears silver jewelry." Hearing his question, Qiantui Baisui, who originally wanted to go up to check, stopped, "Aren't you surprised?"

"When I saw it during the day, I was surprised that the ornaments on Dumuzi's body were exquisite and expensive, and even the maid was like a jewelry shelf, but Shikoti's hands were covered with silver ornaments, and she only wore them on her hands. "

"Her earrings, necklaces, and hairpin jewelry are all gold and precious stones."

"Usually what is different must have its purpose, and pure silver is used to detect poison/drugs."

"When the woman was crying, the silver jewelry on the back of her hand turned black."

"And she raised her hand to cover her mouth. Her fingers didn't touch her lips at all. When the light was on, the skin of her hand reflected a strange luster. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice it. It was covered with a very shallow layer of wax."

"So I speculate that she is good at using poison, because only when she is often exposed to severe poison can she protect herself that way." She spread her hands, with a calm expression on her face, "wax is used to close the pores of the skin, and it can be deduced in reverse , she must have a poison in her hand that can directly act through the skin."

Thinking quickly along with her words, Polusalino narrowed his eyes, "Yeah~ Sure enough, in terms of detailed observation, no one is as good as a hundred years old~"

"I know what the poison that caused Bagua's death is." He stepped forward to stand next to her, lowered his head, put his lips close to her small earlobe, lowered his voice, and asked in a lover's whisper, "Will you be a hundred years old?" Tell me, you deliberately didn't say anything, is it because of that substitute?"

After finishing speaking, Polusalino turned his face slightly, and quietly looked at the face that was close at hand.

After a while, she slowly took a step forward, then turned her head slightly, stood within reach of him, raised her lips slightly, and replied slowly and softly, "Yes, so what?"

……

Sure enough... Polusalino sighed silently in his heart.

A thousand years old seems to be calm, but her eyes are full of oppression that is about to come, mixed with the sweet smile at the corner of her mouth, tangled into a strange color.

She guessed that Bagua had an antidote, and guessed that he would be poisoned again, but she kept silent for the death of the double king.

She likes children and believes that babies should not bear the fault of their parents, so she can't help but conceive Shikoti who is pregnant. However, she will let another murderer seek his own death.

She was avenging that poor man from Beihai.

It's really... jealous~
