God's Prayer and Nightwish

The four of them descended several floors in one breath, the humati above their heads got farther and farther away, the sea under their feet got closer, and the surrounding scenery became more and more dilapidated and desolate.There are almost no decent buildings and roads here, only some tents that seem to be temporary residences of refugees, but they are empty at any time during the day, and the fragmented fabrics are crackling by the sea breeze.There is even an illusion that even the higher waves can wet their pants.

"There is no road ahead, I'm afraid it hasn't been repaired yet." Mio leaned forward, but with a light push, the rusted fence broke off.He managed to regain his balance in time, stood on the edge of the cliff and turned around, holding a row of curved iron poles in his hand, cleared his throat and said in embarrassment: "It's better not to lean on."

An Xi nodded in shock.

"What's going on, why did you alert the police all of a sudden?" Ye Yuan finally had a chance to ask, "So many people were mobilized, are they the two policemen who threatened before? Shopkeeper."

Mio snorted and asked, "Are you still cheating the owner of the tobacco shop?"

No one cares about him.

"Don't worry about that for now," Sisi stared at Yeyuan with an unkind expression, "Where did you go?"

"I..." Ye Yuan glanced at Mi Ao quickly, and said falteringly, "I just..."

"I also took my gun. I disappeared early in the morning. I have been there for so long. I waited and waited and never came back!" Hiroshi raised his voice, "Then a large group of policemen suddenly appeared, I thought you died outside Do you know?" He looked quite angry, "What night wish are you thinking about, what time is this, and you have to go out temporarily, don't you know to report it first?"

Ye Yuan was so scolded that she didn't dare to speak at all, she just lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, master."

"I'll settle the score with you later," Hiruji ignored him, and turned to Mio and Anxi, "Fortunately, we weren't in the building just now, and we happened to go out to buy water. When we came back, we found that the police had... no, Not just the Limburg police."

Mio nodded and said: "I see, some of them are wearing uniforms, just like the group that chased us before."

"And your family," An Xi added, "their armbands have the logo I saw on the Eclipse, and my family's ship also..."

Before he finished speaking, Mio poked his arm, and Anxi asked in a daze, "Why?"

Hisi didn't care, just nodded and said: "Mande, Fan Xiulian, and Leonis are now officially joining forces. Although I still can't figure out why my uncle wants to help them, since he himself has no interest in inheriting the family for a long time, why... ..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, and Ye Yuan looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Unless...the one who is interested in the family is not him, but someone else important," Hiji said, "a person who is more important to him than his own nephew."

"What do you mean..." Ye Yuan thought for a moment, then gasped: "Master Dawn?"

"On the way to the 'New World', Master Dorn has already admitted that he and you are not biological brothers. It seems to be implying that you have a non-biological relationship with the master, but in fact... because Master Dorn is your uncle son!" Ye Yuan understood at once: "It makes sense, the person responsible for providing the blood sample for DNA testing is Lambert Fan Xiu Lien, although he has a certain relationship with you, but if you only identify the direct Whether the close relatives conclude, the result must be 'no'"

"That's right," Hiji said, "so there is no percentage match value on the DNA report, but just the words 'does not match'."

"According to this line of thinking, even if someone doubts the blood of Master Dawn, they must be quite confident that they can get a positive result with your uncle's blood sample test." Ye Yuan was shocked, "Madam and him... When did this happen?" Do you think the master knows?"

"If he knows, it can only mean that the chances of him being alive are even smaller," Hijiri shook his head, and said, "I even wonder when the 'Shen Cang' who retreated behind the scenes was replaced Lambert."

As soon as he said this, the hairs on Ye Yuan's back stood up—this idea is too amazing, how could it be possible that the most powerful man in Humoti has been stolen and disappeared like this for so many years, and even None of the closest family members can find out?

Before the two of them finished speaking, Mio had already grabbed Anxi by the collar and walked in the opposite direction.

"Wow what's the matter! Where are you going?" An Xi called out, "Did you hear something? Who's here?"

"No one, I just don't want to hear this," Mio said, "Did you bring the money when you came out?"

An Xi smiled slyly: "Of course, you can't cry to death without money."

Mio showed an expression of "what are you talking about?" and said, "I just went to see it. The shuttle boat goes to the coastline every Wednesday morning. 110 refills are enough for one person."

"Wednesday morning, isn't that tomorrow?" An Xi said, "But we only have less than [-] pen refills, not enough for four people."

"Four people?" Mio raised his eyebrows, "Are you pregnant?"

"You're just pregnant!" An Xi retorted subconsciously, and asked, "What about Ye Yuan?"

Mio glanced at Yewish and said, "Where are they going to care about my business?"

"Oh, by the way," Mio let go of his rest, walked up to Yewish and whispered, "I've thought about what you said before."

Nightwish looked at him silently.

Mio said, "It's too much trouble, and I don't trust you, so I refuse."

Anxi looked between them suspiciously, and Mio said again: "But, try to mention this to anyone, I mean 'anyone'," he said word by word Said, and at the same time glanced at Hiji behind him pointedly, and threatened: "Otherwise, there will be many unnecessary deaths."

Ye Yuan even felt his sharp eyes turning into blades, staying one millimeter in front of his neck - a layer of pimples formed on his skin, as if his Adam's apple could already feel the cold of the blade.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Mio suddenly backed away with grinning teeth—Anxi grabbed his ear from behind, and taught him a lesson: "How many times have I told you not to wish for the evil night!"

"No, rest in peace..." Ye Yuan suddenly had some bad feelings, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but the master here also asked: "You two went out together? What can't you tell me?"

Ye Yuan explained to the master again: "No, wait..."

Ke Mio has already interjected to say goodbye: "You still speak for him, I told you not to trust people so easily..."

An Xi retorted unhappily: "Why do you always do this, every time!"

The four of them spoke at the same time, and they were in a mess for a moment. Suddenly, Mio said, "Do you still remember Huo Fuer?"

An Xi fell silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you mentioning him?"

At that time, Mio's teammate in the wasteland bounty hunter group, Huo Fuer, also keenly observed the strangeness of his blood, not only tracked down Mio's location and kidnapped him forcibly, but also nailed his legs to the A large amount of blood was drawn from the bed board to study the serum that changes the physical properties of humans.The irony is that the purpose of Hofer's research at the beginning was the master who wanted to sell to Humoti in the future. Unexpectedly, today, the biggest buyer of Humoti is standing in front of them.

Mio pointed to Nightwish and said, "He is the same."

An Xi didn't realize it for a while, and was stunned. Hiji asked in a low voice, "Who is Huo Fuer, what are you talking about?"

"No, it's impossible!" An Xi said loudly.

Mio snorted, showing a mocking expression: "How stupid are you wishful thinking? What do you think he ran off in the morning, with gauze stained with my blood?"

"What?" After hearing the words "bloody gauze", An'an stepped back half a step, "Impossible, why would he..."

He met Ye Yuan's eyes, seeing that the other party did not refute, An Xi called out weakly: "Ye Yuan?"

His voice was very thin, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

"Anxi..." Yeyuan took a step forward and explained: "I just... I will ensure that the experiment process is completely closed and confidential, and will not harm Mio's body." He misunderstood Anxi's shocked expression and explained: "I I know this idea sounds absurd, but it's still just a preliminary idea, and we can discuss it slowly... I just can't think of a better way to return to Humoti safely."

"So it's true..." An Xi's clear black eyes stared at him, his expression was blank, and after a while, he asked, "Why?"

"Didn't I say it, because Xumo..." Ye Yuan reacted and said, "Ah! Do you mean why Mio chose to help me?"

He hastily explained the conditions he promised Mio before, but Anxi just blinked, as if he was still at a loss.

Hiji interjected, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, I want to remind you of one thing—the reason why I noticed the ambushing policeman when I was walking back just now was because 5 minutes before that, the four of us His portrait has been publicized on all the screens in Limburg - the replay video of the arena, the reception screen in the store, everywhere. There are many policemen patrolling the street, and there are some Humati guards mixed in , So, no matter what plan you make, I suggest that the four of you should not appear in public at the same time, but it is better not to act completely separately."

After hearing this, Mio sighed, and everything seemed to return to the hateful status quo that Nightwish put forward before—even if they can leave here at this moment, what will happen afterwards, whether it is the coast or the Bounty Hunters Guild, it is everywhere In the shadow of Humati.

"The leasing of the shuttle boat requires an ID card. I thought it would be fine with a little bribe," Mio propped his chin in thought, "but if there is a bounty on the head, it will be a little troublesome."

He gave a "tsk", turned his head and continued to rebuke Anxi: "Look, I just told you not to put people in your house like this and cause so many troubles. When is it time to help others so stupidly?" Talk, you... hello..."

Mio's voice rose rapidly—Anxi stood there with her shoulders slumped, her mouth pursed, and she shed tears without saying a word.

Nightwish:"!!!"

"What, what's wrong? Rest in peace, don't cry, I was wrong... I didn't mean that..." Ye Yuan panicked, apologized subconsciously, and asked Mio for help, "What's wrong, what did I say wrong?"

Mi Ao immediately forgot that he was still the one who said he was going to rest, and diverted the fire: "Do you have a brain? The people walking beside you are plotting against you in their hearts, planning to use you as a blood bag, a tool, and a test subject. What do you think?" ?”

Ye Yuan nodded, paused, then shook his head blankly, as if he still didn't understand.

Mio stared at him in surprise for a while, and then understood—this person doesn't think there is any problem with using people as tools, nor does he feel that being used as a tool is humiliating or even derogatory.

Sure enough, Ye Yuan heard the words and quickly explained a series of experiments done by the clinic owner before, describing the mutant activity of blood sample cells and how powerful the antibodies are, and explained that if Anxi and Mio were willing to accept the experiments, the reward would be How rich, he was absorbed in the bright future he promised, and racked his brains to think if there was anything not enough.

Finally, Anxi puffed up her chest, wiped the water marks on her face with the back of her hand, and said angrily, "Yeyuan doesn't understand anything at all!"

Ye Yuan fell silent for a moment, with her mouth half-opened, completely unaware of this reaction.

Mio gloated: "That's right! The timeline of your experiment is completely uncontrollable, and what if you regret it after running out of serum in the future? Besides, you will definitely not have enough time for clinical trials in order to return to Humoti as soon as possible." Experiment, in case the news leaks..."

Before he finished speaking, An Xi became even more angry, screaming: "Mi Ao is also an idiot!"

Mi Ao, who thought he already knew Anxi quite well and hadn't spent a long time on the road of persuading young people, didn't ask for anything, so he had to swallow his saliva and dare not make a sound.

Unexpectedly, Hiji didn't ask any more questions, he frowned and looked at the three of them back and forth, as if he had pieced together the general situation from a few words.

"I don't want these things at all!" Anxi raised her voice for the first time, and Zhao Yeyuan got angry: "Aren't we friends?"

Ye Yuan was completely dumbfounded: "Huh?"

"Why didn't you just tell me when you were afraid and worried? Why didn't you just ask me when you had doubts?" An Xi asked again: "Aren't we friends!"

Mio looked at him with a little horror: "Did you just tell me if I asked you?"

Yewish was speechless—the direction of the conversation was completely out of his imagination. He originally thought that what needed to be discussed was the specific steps, and what needed to be discussed was the details of the transaction content. He never thought that he would get a completely irrelevant question .

Aren't we friends?

What to do among friends, he had no idea, no one had taught him that.

This is not the confrontation scene he is familiar with—everyone on Humoti is very familiar with the game of hypocrisy and deception, the back-and-forth game of skillful rhetoric, they learn to read between the lines and extract the truth from metaphors, but no one has ever been like If you ask a question like this directly, no one will answer it sincerely.

Anxi sniffled, and said, "Why can't we all...together...to discuss how to tide over the difficulties..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually decreased, and he seemed to feel that what he said was too naive and embarrassed, and he couldn't find a better way to express his heart for a while.

"Is...is that so?" Ye Yuan stammered.

Will the "community" tide over the difficulties?Ye Yuan thought dizzily—isn't this the trouble of the master and him, and An Xi and Mi Ao were just innocent passers-by who were accidentally involved?

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a serious mistake, but his mind was buzzing, and he was always on the verge of sorting everything out.

It's just that... Yeyuan murmured: "Are we friends?"

After hearing this, An Xi took a deep breath in disbelief, "You!" He cried again while speaking, but held back.

Sisi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Stop making noise, someone is here."

The boy still couldn't stop crying, disregarding Hisuji's warning, and announced loudly: "I, I hate you!"

Hearing this, Mi Ao quickly raised his head and glanced around carefully, and then listened carefully for a moment, and he did catch some movement. He was surprised how Hiroshi noticed it before him.

"The pager I stole from the police before, it communicates with radio waves, as long as you walk within fifty miles, there will be a signal." Hijiki held a small black square in his hand, and Mio nodded, thinking "When Got it?", and said: "Understood, there will be white noise after walking into the signal range."

Hiji made a "hmm", and suddenly said in a vague way: "Have you ever played the game of 'hot and cold'?"

Seeing Mio's raised and lowered eyebrows, he explained: "During treasure hunting, the closer you are to the treasure, the more 'hot' the reminder will be. If you go in the wrong direction, the reminder will show more and more 'cold'."

"You mean to use this communicator as a reminder to bypass the police?" Mio asked, "Where do you go after bypassing?"

Hiji had already thought about it: "Connect to the port of the boat."

"Didn't I tell you, the money is not enough," Mio said irritably, "And you are wanted all over the city, and you still send it to your door."

Hisuji shook his head: "That's enough." As he spoke, he began to take off a lot of antique mechanical watches, amber diamond cufflinks, obsidian-rimmed tie clips, etc., and threw them into Mio's hands, saying, "All sold separately. , if the price of each piece is below one hundred, don’t make a deal, if it’s not enough, then take this one.”

He hung the revolver stolen by Yewish on his index finger: "This is all handmade, with special bullets, and it may be sold separately. By the way, do you have any more guns that you brought from the airship before? "

"What!" Ye Yuan hurriedly stopped: "One hundred refills? The cost of these things..."

"Shut up," Hiroshi said coldly, "If you hadn't acted on your own, we wouldn't have to delay until rumors spread all over Limburg. I can't put you in confinement right now, so you should reflect on yourself first. "

After that, he didn't even look at Nightwish, turned around and continued, "And I'm talking about the ferry port, not the pick-up and drop-off points in Limburg. It’s easy to look awkward. I’ve inquired about it, and all the people at the pick-up point will be transported to the ship port to replace the medium-sized aviation boat, where most of the goods are transported, and a small amount of…”

Mio gave him a puzzled look, and Hiroji spit out a word uncomfortably: "Slave."

Fertility resources driven down from Humoti, sex toys or servants who want to sneak up in the wasteland, although slave is a general and outdated term, he doesn't need to ask more about the connotation it represents.

"The population there is complex, and there are many ships stopping every day. There are smuggling, drug trafficking, prostitution, and pirates. The police basically don't care about that area. I believe that as long as there is money, there will always be people who do business."

At this moment, the noise of the communicator in his hand became louder and louder, and he could vaguely hear the voice of people talking from inside.

Mio didn't pick up his gun, but gathered a bunch of glittering ornaments in his palm and said, "Let's go."

The four of them walked and circled. They were not familiar with the terrain, and they had to avoid search teams from all directions—fortunately, the enemy was in the clear, so they didn't know where they were, and the search circles were scattered.

The place where the airship crashed before was in the direction of Limburg closest to the open sea, and the port of the shuttle boat to the wasteland was just at the opposite corner where the search team could be thrown in the opposite direction.Along the way, Anxi, who was originally chattering, was unusually silent. Yeyuan was ordered by the master to reflect and did not dare to speak. Instead, Mio and Hiji became the only members who talked—the two occasionally quickly analyzed the next move, and occasionally stopped to talk. Come down to identify the direction and altitude.

"How come there is no sunshine after walking for so long." There is a small compass pointer on Hiroji's mechanical watch. He compared the pressure gauge, mentally calculated his altitude, and said, "The direction should be correct. It stands to reason that we are almost here." .”

"It's not that there is no sunshine, it's that the sun is about to go downhill." Mio said, "Autumn and winter are like this. It gets dark early, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The sea surface doesn't feel obvious, and it's fatal on the wasteland."

"It's been a long time since I've heard any noise," Hiji said, "It will probably take a while before they find it."

But Mio shook his head: "Don't take risks. I suggest going directly to the seaside tonight, and choose a place connected to the vertical lower level of the port to rest, and leave as soon as the port opens tomorrow morning."

He tossed back to Hirosi the pile of accessories, shook one of the cufflinks in his hand - it was inlaid with a square-cut, amber yellow diamond, and said, "I'll keep this one. Yes, as compensation for the trouble you caused me."

Hiji had no objection, and the four continued on their way.

After trekking continuously for nearly nine hours, the four of them finally crossed Limburg and came to the shore closest to the wasteland——the scene seen from here was not the same as the vast empty sea. The ecological chain that develops and survives on the main island of Hummati—circle after circle of airships that look like satellite rings illuminate the entire night sky, which is somewhat similar to the scene seen from the wasteland.

The faces of the four flickered under the lights of the aviation boat. Anxi found a corner and sat down in silence. It seemed that he was very tired. It had been a long time since Mi Ao had seen him so depressed. , I couldn't bear it for a while.

"Rest in peace, are you hungry?" Mio asked.

Anxi shook her head.

"Drink water." Mio handed over the water bottle, watched him take a few sips and twisted the bottle again, and said, "I'll go up and buy something to eat."

"I'll go too," Hiji said, "By the way, change some refills."

Mio thought about it, and agreed - the farther away these decorations are from Humorti, the less expensive they are. After all, people in the wasteland will not buy cufflinks for nothing, and it is best to leave them before leaving the port.

So Anxi and Yewish were left in a hidden spot to wait—the two squatted in a dark corner, like two guavas short of water.Mio and Hijiki put on a disguise and set off together - with Mio accompanying him, Hijiki was not very worried, so he left the communicator with Nightwish and left without saying anything.

Without Anxi to follow, Mi Ao simply gave up the idea of ​​finding a path, jumped directly on the oil pipeline, and climbed up by stepping on the joints of the steel frame.Hisashi just glanced at it, then rolled up his sleeves and followed - this is similar to rock climbing, which he used to do when he was a child.Human voices and the tremor of footsteps stepping on the steel frame came from far above their heads. Soon, the two smelled the breath of chaos and order in Freeport.

The author says:

In the next chapter, the two attackers and the two receivers respectively will enter the heart-to-heart mode
