Operation Red Book

"After leaving you, I kept walking forward... About ten minutes ago, I returned to the river..."

Jacob was soaked to the skin, his lips trembled, and his left arm twitched.

Joshua used a large banana leaf to fetch three scoops of water from the stream, one of which was given to Jacob, and the others were given by Thomas to Alexander and Moriarty.

The two of them dragged the unconscious Bai Xue. She was still breathing, but they didn't know how long she would remain unconscious.

"I was so tired that I saw the river and walked over to it, thinking of cooling off and quenching my thirst...Ah! Be gentle!"

Joshua poured the entire bucket of water onto Jacob's legs. His legs were covered with teeth marks of varying sizes, bruises and wounds mixed together, and there was not a single piece of good skin to be seen at first glance.

"Hey, hey, hey! Can you move that thing away? I want to vomit when I see its face now."

Jacob pointed disdainfully at the large creature near Joshua.

It was an ugly, armored, and extremely ferocious crocodile. It was this creature that almost drowned Jacob in the river.

When Joshua rushed to the river with a lightsaber, Jacob had been bitten by the crocodile and rolled several times in his black robe.

The surrounding area is filled with rushing river water, and circles of bubbles are bubbling in the center of the river.

Jacob's face rose and fell in the center, sometimes a white human face appeared, and sometimes a pitch-black tail appeared.

The dark red water spread out in circles in the center of the river. Seeing this scene, Joshua suddenly didn't know what to do.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jacob, I thought that black thing was a crocodile..."

"Get away from me too. You are not allowed to play with your stun gun in the water anymore!"

Jacob's most serious injury was not his scarred legs, but his left arm, which was twitching with epilepsy.

Liquids are conductive, and Joshua always keeps this in mind, but once an emergency occurs, no one can predict what they will do.

Joshua stood by the river. He didn't dare to go into the water. He just kept his eyes on the gray-black tail that kept appearing.

He clenched the hilt of the lightsaber with both hands, spread his legs, blinked rapidly, stared at the river surface, and judged the pattern of the floating tail and head.

Then, he aimed at the right moment, raised the lightsaber, and chopped hard at the exposed black part.

“The whole river was filled with blue-purple electric light. I almost thought I was going to see God right now!”

"But the crocodile did let you go, didn't it?"

This was true. After a burst of crackling lightning, both Jacob and the crocodile were electrocuted unconscious.

It was during this opportunity that Thomas ran to the river with a wooden stick that was twice as tall as himself, and together they fished out the dripping Jacob and the crocodile.

“I want to eat alligator meat.”

Thomas stared at the motionless crocodile, and his stomach began to rumble at the same time.

"No!" Jacob almost yelled.

"You'd better wait until you wake up. The feast you had in your dream won't fill your empty stomach."

Alexander turned over the crocodile, which was as big as Dwayne Johnson, and patted its soft belly.

Moriarty took out the sword that was stuck in the grass. He made a sword flower in the air and shrunk the sword into a dagger.

After Alexander carried Thomas on his back, murderous intent flashed in Moriarty's eyes, and then he raised his knife and cut a big hole in the crocodile's belly.

The warm blood splashed onto Moriarty's face, making his icy eyes sparkle.

I don’t know what special ingredients there are in the blood of cold-blooded animals, but a flash of red appeared and Moriarty felt his whole body getting hot.

A strange excitement flowed through the body, and the blood vessels in the brain seemed to have turned into a German pistol, bursting out with infinite passion in the limited cranial cavity.

The crocodile's head tilted back on the grass, its off-white mouth wide open. A few drops of bright red blood splashed into its lifeless eyes, flowed through its solid shell, and dripped into the swaying green grass.

Unable to stop, Moriarty stabbed the crocodile again and again. The crocodile's milky white belly had already been completely covered with ruptured internal organs.

Moriarty was breathing heavily, with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyebrows raised in unison, each grinning to the extreme.

Blood, killing, passion, desire... several emotions intertwined, constantly colliding and trembling in the light blue eyes.

It’s been too long… It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way… I can’t control it… I can’t stop… I can’t stop…

Can’t stop…can’t stop…stop…

"Mr. Moriarty!"

A hand grasped Moriarty's wrist and pulled him out of his lost state.

"what……"

Moriarty sighed unconsciously, and he slowly turned his head. His eyes, filled with complex emotions, gradually became confused and helpless.

The starlight illuminated Moriarty's unfamiliar face. The skin underneath was translucent white, while the blood on top was hideously red.

This gave Joshua a fright. Perhaps Moriarty's emotions were disturbed by the witch much more seriously than his. Joshua's temples were throbbing.

"Aren't you a germaphobe to the point of being abnormal? How can you bear to let your pretty boy get so dirty now?"

Jacob said this while twitching his left hand. He glanced at the unconscious Bai Xue and stood up trembling.

"Joshua, I will go with you to take him to the river to wash him."

There must be a deeper meaning to this sentence, and Joshua understood it.

He helped the gasping Moriarty up, and walked with Jacob to the flowing river.

"There must be something wrong with that Snow White." Jacob said straight to the point.

This is nothing new, and everyone has witnessed the conflict between him and Bai Xue.

"I understand why you hate her..."

"I'm telling the truth!" Jacob interrupted. "She's been lying to us from the beginning!"

"Did you find any clues?"

Moriarty said in a hollow voice that after washing with a few scoops of river water, he had regained most of his consciousness.

"The stream here has no end, and I can't walk across it, so I only scouted this side of the forest."

"Apart from a fight with a python, I didn't encounter any other creatures along the way...hiss, not even a hare."

"This is very rare. If it were a forest like the one in Niksala Prison, it would be possible. The environment there is too cold..."

"But the environment here is very comfortable. There are no insects or birds in the forest, but there are flowers and fruits. Such an ecosystem cannot exist."

"I know this, but think about it carefully. This is a consciousness space built by the witch. Many mistakes are expected. This place cannot be compared with the forest in the real world."

Joshua replied, blinking and looking very serious.

"Just like the famous beauty in Hubei who updated the Operation Red Book before the DDL, there was no time to study so many details, and the manuscript submitted was full of mistakes."

"You encountered a python?" Moriarty raised his voice.

"Yes." Jacob watched the drops of water falling from Moriarty's face. "It attacked me from the tree, and I just noticed it."

"That's a story for later. It was easy to defeat it. It just happened to fall into the time I controlled. I grabbed its tail and tied a knot around a tree, then kicked it off the cliff like a ball."

"But if that's the case, it's still alive and will take revenge on you," Joshua said worriedly.

"So I planted dozens of pointed bamboo shoots at the foot of the cliff in advance and watched them string together before I left."

Joshua silently gave a thumbs up. In terms of viciousness, the Son of God would definitely win the championship.

"Have you found anything else?" Moriarty asked.

"That's right!" Jacob suddenly became excited.

"Since I can't get through in front, I'll go back. The other side of the woods should be what the giantess mentioned - the kingdom of humans."

"No, the end of the forest is not the human kingdom at all. There is a bare valley..."

“And all the creatures that disappeared in the forest turned into broken bones, like a mountain of bones, piled up everywhere, blocking the only entrance to the valley.”

"what?"

Joshua stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, forgetting even to blink.

"So, Snow White originally wanted to take us there? What exactly did she want to do?"

"Kill us, of course... I'm afraid her goal remains the same."

"Then it all makes sense..."

Moriarty quietly watched the stars on the river, his eyes gradually moving to the left.

Four people's faces were reflected in the water, in addition to Moriarty and the other two, there was another familiar face.

Skin as white as blood, lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony...
