midnight.

The tavern was already closed, and Xiaodou looked at Ali Baba, who was sleeping soundly curled up on the bench, and then at Kasim, who was swallowing and relieving his hangover: "You don't think you want to hit the palace, do you?"

Kasim replied noncommittally: "I just asked by the way, there is nothing wrong with knowing more information. The coachman should be there in a while, just send him to the gate of the palace." He looked indifferently Glancing at Ali Baba, "After staying in the palace for five years, I'm more innocent than when I was ten years old, Your Highness."

Xiaodou put the cloak on Ali Baba, "Is it okay to say something like this? Isn't he a friend you grew up with?"

Kasim's expression turned cold. "That was in the past, too. We weren't the same kind of people."

"..." Xiaodou sat back on the bench, lowered her head and filled the wine glass in her hand. "You are not just childhood playmates, are you? I heard from Sally Yeh that his mother adopted you before and raised you and Mariam for a long time. Rather than being friends, you should be brothers. Together Born and raised together, why not the same kind of people?"

Hearing this, Kasim frowned slightly and looked at Xiaodou. "You have inquired a lot."

Xiaodou calmly handed the wine glass in his hand to Kasim.Meeting an old friend from childhood, and being stimulated by the theory of fate, and the two of you have been going back and forth for so long now, it depends on whether the young man can open his heart so much... Well, hurry up There is no way to get to the turning point of the plot, I have to gamble, fork!

"It's because of this that I understand better that we are not the same kind of people." Kasim shook the wine glass in his hand, and leaned against the window rail in a state of desperation, "Alibaba's mother is the most gentle person I have ever met. Even if In a place like a slum, no matter how hungry and painful, she can be kind to others and always smile. These qualities of Ali Baba are exactly the same as her mother. Even if they call each other brothers in name, blood relationship can’t deceive people. Inside Ali Baba His mother's blood, my father's blood in me, we were different from birth."

He turned his head and glanced sideways at the sleeping blond boy.

"If Alibaba and I are looking at the same thing at the same time, then his first thought must be 'labor', in exchange for working upright with both hands. My first thought must be 'robbing'."

There was a pause in the voice, and the boy suddenly raised his lips slightly.

"...Whether it's stealing or cheating, as long as you can get it, it doesn't matter how despicable the method is. This is the fundamental difference between me and him....Sally only knows about my aunt adopting me and my sister, But she probably didn't tell you why we were adopted."

He raised his eyes, with a stinging smile on his lips.

"Even Alibaba doesn't know about this."

The way he stared at her in the dark was clearly peaceful, but it also seemed to make people feel slightly throbbing fear.

"My father suddenly disappeared from the slum one day, so my aunt adopted us. Of course, no one asked where my father went, and no one cared about where he went. After all, he was a villain and often beat him. Children, addicted to gambling and drinking, it goes without saying that everyone expects him to disappear soon."

The faint starlight falling from the window sank into the young man's eyes and dissipated calmly.

"……I think so too."

"I don't know how many times I've thought this way when he suddenly showed up at home and wanted to take Mariam out for gambling money. 'If only he could disappear'. So..."

He slowly raised his eyes.

"I killed him."

Xiaodou slightly opened his eyes.

The smile on Kasim's lips gradually disappeared.

"However, even when he was on the verge of death, he still didn't show any regrets. He just showed a natural expression and smiled at me. Then he said to me that I am very similar to him. Scum... I was a kid, just feeling pure anger, thinking 'why didn't he repent', 'why didn't he say sorry or beg for mercy', 'I'm not you', etc. But then I think back Seeing his own mood when he died, I understood what he said."

"I also don't feel the slightest bit of regret or remorse for killing my own father."

——"He is right, I am indeed a natural scum just like him."

……

Xiaodou turned over and kept lying on her side, looking out through the skylight.

After a long while, he murmured softly: "...the descendants of the king will become kings, and the descendants of the pariah will be born fools? No wonder...it is obviously a natural talent and courage, and it is a rough jade that can be carved, but it has been led to evil ways , before it was formed, it died prematurely due to external force."

[So imposing, 'Your Majesty'. 】

Xiaodou choked for a moment... Oh go, I accidentally equipped it with the three-axe of the violent bacteria!Hearing the chuckle of N' in his mind, he curled his lips: "Skilled workers, there is nothing you can do to show it."

[How did you decide that he is talented? 】

Where is the determination, it is simply that when the young man talked about the past, the queen soul (?) in his body instinctively smelled the same kind of smell.Xiaodou let out a long breath from his nose, and replied firmly: "There is an antenna on the top of Gu's head to receive the same kind of pheromone."

N' laughed again.

Xiaodou turned her head to the side, staring at the haze of fish belly rising in the distant sky.

After sending Ali Baba back to the palace, she and Kasim had nothing to say on the way back together. ...After all, the atmosphere is delicate, and silence is probably the best way to deal with it.

Still didn't fall asleep all night.As soon as you close your eyes, the scene of the conversation between the two, and the boy's lifeless eyes that seem to have swallowed all the light will emerge.

...Even if he kept saying such beautiful words as "grabbing ideals", he still couldn't get rid of the demon of self-loathing.He should be a carefree age, but because he hates fate, his soul is tortured by pain until he reaches an extreme end.When cornered, even life can be sacrificed for revenge.As a result, the more power I got, the more paranoid I became, and in the end I even forgot my original heart.

In this way, there are some fragmented daily fragments in my mind, and I suddenly think of Kasim's phrase "I want to fill the stomachs of all the people I care about".

...Perhaps when the boy first showed his fangs, he was driven by such a simple desire.

【You seem to be in a difficult situation. ] N' spoke again. [Extremely troubled by his affairs? 】

Xiaodou regained consciousness.

Oh go... Unknowingly, I have been worrying about the boy for a long time, but none of it is related to the strategy...

This kind of feeling was experienced when facing Xiao Wangzhi and Jill bacteria in the distance.Xiaodou reasoned it out, and finally found out bitterly that he could no longer treat all the heroes as flat tasks.

Although it can't be perfect, it shouldn't be a problem to induce vomiting...

Xiaodou sighed.

The Department of Philosophy has performed so many performances that I forgot that the Department of Positive Energy is the reserved skill of Bean God. (._.)

All in all, the next first challenge is how to deal with the delicate atmosphere of the young man after receiving such an astonishing amount of dark information about patricide.

……

The next morning, Xiaodou naturally appeared at the morning meal with her eyes darkened.Because she arrived earlier, she took a small piece of bread, sat on a high place and gnawed slowly, so as not to be hurt by the coming wave of thieves (…).

If they ate the bread slowly, the number of people increased one after another in a short while; in the chaos, Kasim's figure finally appeared at the bottom of the corridor.The teenager yawned and walked out slowly, probably because he drank a lot of alcohol last night, and his situation was worse than hers, and he almost wrote "Hangover, hypoglycemia and sleep well" on his face.The thieves who entered the food-grabbing mode regained a little sanity for a short time after seeing Kassim (…), and greeted him with a smile while protecting the food; Kassim responded one by one, and when he got out of the crowd When the wind turned inadvertently, I saw Xiaodou sitting on a high place.

The eyes of the two met lightly, and Kasim withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

Xiaodou stood up and patted the cake crumbs on his body, walked a few steps in the same direction as him on the eaves, and when he was far away from the crowd, he put the dough cake in his mouth and took a few steps to run up Jumped down, fell directly from the sky, and landed right behind Kasim!He raised his paw again, grabbed his neck following the inertia, and said vaguely with the cake in his mouth: "I made a lot of money yesterday, so let's go buy meat today, Kasim?"

Kasim was strangled by her and took a step away. After reacting, she saw the cake crumbs falling from her shoulders and was speechless. She pulled out the cake from her mouth with her backhand and sank her shoulders, "Get down!"

"Meat meat meat meat!"

"..."

"Meat meat meat meat meat!"

Kasim frowned, "It's so noisy." After all, the gloom between his brows eased a little.

Seeing this, Xiaodou remained calm, let go of her hand with a smile and let him lift her away, not forgetting to snatch the cake back from his hand and continue to eat.

The opening remarks of the health and energy system easily broke the deadlock.She took a step closer and walked side by side with him naturally, still chatting in a relaxed tone: "After the gems are sold, should you be able to relax a bit?"

"It's not that simple." Kasim patted the cake crumbs on his shoulder with a headache, "Before Hassan brought another group of people, Senapu went to the black market to smuggle weapons and distribute them, and the final payment has not been paid. Just enough to fill the hole."

"Expand too fast, and there will be more mouths to raise. Isn't the burden too much?"

Kasim's eyes sank slightly. "This is something that can't be helped. We need more power."

"..." Xiaodou was silent thoughtfully, and then said after a while, "Are you going to find the location of the secret passage Alibaba mentioned?"

Hearing this, Kasim stopped and looked at her.

Xiaodou smiled indifferently.

"...When are you going to go?"
