Chapter Seventy-Three: Indifference

  ?

  After the injection, passerby A leaned against the wall to catch his breath. A moment later, his exposed hands suddenly trembled slightly, and then a strange red rash filled his arm skin. I'm not sure what will happen next, and I'm also worried that passerby A will lose control like me, at which point I'll be in trouble.

  But apparently, Lu Renjia's self-control had almost reached the point of self-abuse. A moment later, he calmly stood up, slowly put on his gloves, and said lightly, "Let's go." For the rest of the way, no one spoke, not even the German beauty, who seemed particularly quiet. This tunnel was extremely long, and we walked in it for an unknown amount of time before a crossroads appeared ahead.

  I thought passerby A would take out that map, but apparently, there was no diagram of this place on it. So, Mr. Qi stood at the crossroads for a moment, hesitating, and then pointed to his left: "Here."

  I couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

  "Dazed, wrong again and start over, where did you get so many whys." After finishing speaking, he made a mark on the wall, that mark, in an instant, made my eyelid twitch, it was a cross shape.

  Is it a coincidence that the cross of the snake's lair is exactly the same?

  Passerby A was still scouting ahead with his wolf eyes, Xiaolongnü walked second, and I was at the back. After a while, Xiaolongnü's figure suddenly shook, followed by a loud thud as she fell to the ground. I was still thinking about that cross-shaped mark when the German beauty fell, immediately recalling my thoughts. I thought she had overexerted herself, so I quickly helped her up. But when I got her up and took a look, blood was also flowing from the corner of her mouth, and her condition was much more severe than Passerby A's - all four limbs were starting to convulse.

  I knelt on the ground, with the German beauty half of her body in my arms. Her body was trembling non-stop, and she stammered in Chinese: "Wu... save me, ah... it hurts, hurts..." Before she could finish speaking, even her teeth began to chatter, and her nose started bleeding.

  My mind was a complete mess, and I subconsciously hugged her trembling body tightly. At this moment, my whole body was smooth and shiny, not even a pill could be found. Finally, I suddenly put down the German beauty and went to rummage through her equipment bag. If this medicine is used to stimulate people's physical strength, then can't I just give her more physical strength now?

  I'm an architecture graduate, not a medical school graduate, so I can only rely on guessing to do it. In the end, I took out beef jerky, water, and some glucose tablets and handed them to the German beauty's mouth, forcing myself to calm down and comfort her: "Don't be afraid, eat something first." The German beauty obviously trusted me very much, opened her mouth with a tremble, and took in a strip of beef jerky. As a result, her jaw was trembling, and she couldn't chew at all.

  At this time, passerby A was still standing beside him and said a sentence: "It's useless, she is a woman, this kind of medicine, it's already very reluctant." In an instant, my eyes turned red, I put down the German beauty, stood up and grabbed passerby A's collar, shouting: "You clearly know she is a woman, you still hit her, bastard!" One punch went out, but was still caught by passerby A.

  I suddenly feel that I'm really useless, extremely useless. Every time I attack, not once is it effective. Apart from returning to normal society, I can find my sense of existence as a man. Among these people, I'm simply not even comparable to women.

  Passerby A grasped my fist, saying coldly: "If I hadn't given her an injection, she would have died from poisoning in that stone room." My own fist was trembling, but I couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal, and had to admit that he was right.

  At this time, the German beauty was still lying on the ground, her eyes watching my quarrel with passerby A, and her mouth was still chewing that strip of beef.

  Passerby A's icy mouth corners still didn't have any expression, his voice steady as he said: "Give up, she won't last much longer." After speaking, he let go of my hand.

  I stood still, the sound of the German beauty's chattering teeth in my ear, I suddenly felt that it was a bit like the sound of a blood corpse grinding its teeth. In the end, I bent down and hugged the German beauty again, chewed the glucose tablets and beef into fragments in my mouth, took a sip of water, pinched the German beauty's lower jaw, and directly passed it over with my mouth.

  This is the first time I've touched a woman's lips, and it's a foreign beauty, softer than I imagined, but at this moment.

  I don't particularly like Little Dragon Girl, to be honest, I have a better impression of the one with the surname Zhang. But in this gloomy environment, amidst the treacherous hearts of people, the occasional naivety and simplicity of the German beauty makes it hard for me to forget her. And I won't allow her to die here like this, at least... I will do my best.

  Passerby A seemed to have snorted in derision at my inaction, I didn't make a sound. After a moment, I don't know if it was because of my method being effective or not, the German beauty's trembling wasn't as severe, and the blood gradually stopped flowing. However, her entire consciousness became dazed, with her eyes open, I spoke to her, but I didn't know if she could hear me, only occasionally responding with a faint "uh-huh".

  Finally, I threw the German beauty's equipment pack to passerby A, and carried the person on my back. Passerby A seemed to want to say something, but finally shook his head and walked ahead with the equipment pack.

  My physical strength is still abundant, and I don't know how much the passerby A injected me with at that time. Carrying the German beauty on my back doesn't feel particularly tiring. Perhaps it's because the amount I was injected with was relatively large, so I haven't shown any bleeding reaction yet. But I also don't know how long I can hold on for. If I were to suddenly collapse like the German beauty, I wonder if anyone would come to save me or feed me.

  After some thought, if Fatso or Mute Oil Bottle were around at the time, it would have been saved, as for feeding... thinking of Fatso's mouth that hadn't been brushed in over 10 days, and then thinking of Mute Oil Bottle's icy face, forget it... I'd rather not eat.

  In the dark tunnel, no one spoke. I silently carried the German beauty on my back and followed behind passerby A. Suddenly, passerby A stopped in his tracks and said, "There's no way out." I narrowed my eyes to look ahead, at the end of which was a relief sculpture of Qilinbai Rui. Had we walked back again?

  My gaze involuntarily turned to a corner of the wall, where Pedestrian A had sat and spat blood before. I remembered that there were bloodstains on the wall, but there weren't any here, which means it wasn't a detour.

  "Go back and take another way."

  I let out a wry smile and followed Mr. A back the way we came, this time choosing the path to the right at the intersection. This path was also very long with a bend in it. After turning the corner, our eyes were met once again with the Qilin Bairen relief sculpture.

  The pedestrian's mouth seemed to twitch, and after a moment of silence, he said, "There is one more thing, go." We returned to the intersection again and continued walking in a straight line. As a result, another intersection appeared not far ahead, at which point I had already sensed that something was off - this was simply a maze design.

  According to the mechanism diagram of the ancient sheepskin scroll, the shape of this underground palace should be imitated from the three-palace mode of the Central Plains. Through the isolation of the three palaces, the real eighteen-layer tomb is protected. So now, we should already be in the third palace. Where is the key point of this palace?

  I and passerby A slowed down our pace simultaneously, if the third palace is blocking tomb raiders through a maze, then every path in front of us may be hiding the Qilin Pearl, of course, or maybe nothing at all.

  Passerby A stood at the crossroads, silent for a moment, pointing to both sides, saying: "Split up and search, speed it up a bit." Then, he pointed to the little dragon girl on my back, saying: "She's too much trouble, leave her here."

  I turned to look at the German beauty, feeling that my muscles were still very energetic, and refused: "No need." Passerby A's mouth twitched again, and he repeated: "I've said it before, she's a hindrance, can't you understand human language?"

  In an instant, I got angry and coldly laughed: "Sorry, I can only understand human language, your words, I really don't understand."

  As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of cracking joints. Passerby A clenched one fist and said calmly: "Wu Xie, is there nothing in your brain except for women? Is it sperm rushing to your brain or unfulfilled desires? Do you believe me if I kill her right now?"

  One sentence almost suffocated me, sperm rushing to the brain? Unsatisfied desires? Why can a life be treated with such indifference? I finally couldn't bear it, hugged the little dragon girl tightly, and sneered: "Fine, fine, so what if I'm infatuated? You're quite impressive, Qi Ye, a human life is nothing but a fart to you, probably not even worth that."

  A passerby suddenly lifted his head, slowly walking towards me, his voice hoarse, enunciating each word: "You say I'm indifferent to her life, but... has anyone ever cherished mine? Wu Xie, you have everything I've ever longed for, but you're too greedy."

  I was suddenly speechless, not knowing what to say. At this time, he had already raised his hand, pointing at my forehead with a sharp instrument wearing gloves, and said lightly: "When I was injecting you, what were you thinking? What qualifications do you have to talk about me? Can't I just take you to your destination, what does she count as?"

  I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and my mind was filled with that one sentence: What were you thinking when you gave me the injection?

  Could it be... he knows everything I've been thinking?

  At this time, passerby A suddenly let out a burst of laughter and said: "What are you thinking about? From your eyes, movements, and expressions, I know everything clearly. Wu Xie, you can never imagine the kind of environment I survived in." In the end, he smiled and said: "You're still very tender, a child who hasn't been weaned yet." After finishing speaking, he put his hand to his ear, made some movements, and took out something the size of a soybean. He said: "If you discover anything, just crush it, I'll know. If it suddenly makes a sound, that means I'm notifying you, understand?"

  I could only stiffly nod, because one of his paws was still resting on my shoulder, and all it would take was a flick of the wrist for the tip of his thumb to be inserted into my throat.

  "How she is, I don't care, just don't get in the way." With a faint remark, passerby A turned and walked towards the left passage, while I continued to the right, leaving that wolf-eyed flashlight with me.
