The bird answered in a natural tone, as if it was natural for her to arrange work for Noita.

"Are you thinking of starting your own business? But it's very troublesome. It's hard to build a decent business in a month. When the month is over, the cycle will restart and everything will have to start all over again."

Noita asked doubtfully, "What if I want to go to other secret realms?"

Miaoyin Bird suddenly realized: "So you don't want to stay in this secret realm... Please wait for a while. I will prepare enough supplies for you so that you won't starve. If the exploration of the secret realm is not going well, you can return here. As long as no other second-level people come, the place will be reserved for you."

The calm attitude of the bird made Noita feel a little embarrassed.

But she still had to ask, "Have you always been like this? Enjoying arranging work for others and providing help?"

"Of course, my friend." At this point, the bird no longer felt sleepy. "Helping others is a virtue. Although I rarely help others in reality, at least in the secret realm, I can help the lost find work so that they won't starve to death in January. However, my target is only the Gaians. I won't help those fake things that will disappear in January."

Most of the lives in the secret realm have no souls. They disappear after one month, and then the same month begins again and again.

Facing them can be fun for the first few years, but can get a bit boring after a few dozen turns.

Staying here for a long time makes Miaoyin Bird interested in the lost people. Life with souls has possibilities, and they can make the secret place interesting.

Therefore, the Miaoyin Bird will do its best to help the lost people, let them stay, and change the secret realm with its influence.

For those who want to leave, she will also generously prepare gifts for them to help them go further in the secret realm.

This is a mutually beneficial friendship.

And because she had lived in the secret realm for too long, she could easily know the actions of the people in the secret realm, which made her feel inappropriate superiority and self-confidence - she felt that she was the master of this secret realm.

It was only because of her inherent goodness and her strength that this arrogance had not yet had the chance to hurt anyone.

Chapter 159: One Shot Killed

It has to be said that the proposal of the Sweet Bird is quite tempting, but Noita still needs to think about it for a while before making a decision.

Fortunately, this secret realm where time flows faster than in the outside world has no shortage of time.

The bird generously allowed Noita to come to her at any time and gave her a bag of silver coins as living funds. Whether she wanted to open a small shop like the other lost people or live a life of luxury, this bag of silver coins was enough for her to get through the month.

Hanging the silver coins around his waist, Noita walked downstairs and saw that the people who were originally staggering were being helped to other places to rest, and the clerk was feeding them honey to sober them up.

Noita walked past them lightly and was about to leave when someone called her.

"Can we talk?"

Looking back, Adele's father had stood up and it was he who called her.

He looked energetic and resolute, not at all like he was drunk just now.

When he was being urged to drink, he didn't drink much, and the smell of alcohol on him was just because the wine was shattered and fanned onto his clothes.

The reason he pretended to be drunk was to stay sober and get a chance to talk to Noita alone.

"no problem."

Noita returned to the second floor and they sat down to talk.

"I wonder what uncle wants to talk to me about."

"I know Adele's true situation best. Although she's a descendant of a god, she's very weak. Without a strong backbone, it's difficult for her to do the things you describe."

Adele's father, Lejia Muse, pleaded: "Please tell me about Adele's current situation. Although Weilin and I are not competent enough, we still want to know whether she is happy or sad, and how her life is going."

Even though their falling into Typhon's dream was an accident, in Le Jia's opinion, he and Ms. Weilin were not competent enough.

Noita spoke in a gentle tone: "Adele is living a good life. She has gained weight recently, and her thin face has become rounder. Although what I said was selective, its truthfulness is beyond doubt. She has indeed accomplished many things that surprised me. You can be proud of her..."

After some thought, Noita finally revealed part of Adele's true story, omitting the gang's threats and extortion. He simply said that while traveling in Serkar, he had discovered Adele had the potential to become his disciple, and that was why he valued her talent and helped her embark on the path of Taoism.

She did not change her subsequent experiences.

"It's just that Adele didn't become a mage, she became a spellcaster."

"The best is the one that suits you. There's no need to force yourself to become a mage. Adai wants to be a mage, so we're training her in that direction. Besides, doesn't the association have a saying that anyone who can cast spells is a mage?"

Le Jia is quite open-minded about his career choice.

Adele could choose any career she wanted. After all, the couple were only at the first level and knew no more than Adele.

Time flowed towards the future as the story went on. Before dusk, Noita had told everything she could, which made the old father feel a little relieved.

At this time, Le Jia was willing to believe Noita.

As the sky faded, Noita entered the dusk. Using the darkness as her cover and her diary as a detector, she journeyed through the secret realm at her own pace, initially screening any locations that might pose a danger to her.

After a busy night, she searched all the limited places in the secret realm of Swan Land and found nothing unusual.

The next day, she changed out of her armor again, used a ring to switch to a less conspicuous image, and went to various places to investigate.

The first place they went to was the gold mine, where all kinds of people lived together, and the headquarters of the gang that controlled the gold mine.

Before approaching the Tiger Claw Gang's headquarters, Noita saw miners and nearby residents gathered under a high platform, pointing and talking.

Noita looked up and saw the three musketeers who had delivered the message for the bird hanging from a high gantry, exposed to the sun. Their bodies were covered with whip marks and scars, and the blood had stuck to their wounds and shirts. They looked miserable.

Today is the day when the Wonderful Bird comes to take the life of the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang.

The news spread quickly, and people who loved to watch the excitement gathered here, waiting for the start of the decisive battle.

This is a grand showdown between two elite professionals, and it must not be missed.

One is the notorious leader of the Tiger Claw Gang, who is so vicious that no one dares to mess with him; the other is the mysterious and unpredictable sharpshooter Miaoyin Bird who can fire six shots with one shot. They are both among the strongest in Swan Land, but this time they will decide who is the strongest!

"The betting is on! Who will be the more skilled Tiger Claws or will the whistling bird be the more impressive? Everyone, place your bets and cheer for your chosen winner."

Some fearless people opened bets right there. Noita checked the odds and saw that the odds on the Wonderful Bird were 1.5 to 1. Compared to the Tiger Claw Gang, whose record was well documented, the Wonderful Bird's momentum was weaker, and fewer people were betting on it, so the odds were higher.

Noita pressed the money bag given to her by Saraswati on Saraswati.

This is definitely not the first time that Miaoyin Bird has challenged the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang. The price of her death is much greater than that of the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang. If Noita was not sure of winning, she didn't think Miaoyin Bird would propose this duel.

Noon arrived quickly, and the Musketeers were already dehydrated by the sun. Noita focused on observing the leader of the Life Society, but still could not see any clues.

He was clumsy and embarrassed, without a trace of composure, as naive as every fledgling adventurer.

[A shadow from the past, recreating bits of the past of the young man named "Paro."]

The diary's introduction to him was brief, providing only his name, as if he were just one of the insignificant people in the world.

But he was definitely not ordinary. Paro's presence activated some of Noita's memories, causing her to have a paradoxical hallucination, a rather dangerous overlap.

Like a worm.

The incident of being tricked by the worm and causing the sinking of Attica made Noita extremely alert to danger.

Some things could have been stopped, but because of her carelessness, they became irreversible - perhaps when she sensed the sinister aura of the worms, she immediately set out to find the source of the crisis and could have discovered the worms' conspiracy earlier.

But she chose to ignore it for various reasons and did not associate it with the direction of the worm for a moment.

At that time, she felt that she could overcome everything, no matter what it was.

She did win, but the price was the destruction of her fellow travelers, and even her chances of resurrection disappeared due to the pull of the aura of destruction.

If she had realized the danger earlier and taken action sooner, could she have avoided the fearless sacrifice and achieved a perfect clearance?

If Luhua were here, she would tell her that this was impossible.

Because the extreme nature of worms is to disrupt everything and destroy everything. When the worms revive and trigger destruction, the result is doomed.

She was able to defeat the enemy, but in the circumstances, protecting her allies was much more difficult than killing the enemy.

This is an extremely difficult thing to do, but as long as Noita is given another chance, she can definitely achieve a perfect ending.

Absolutely!

But there is no chance now.

Suppress the complacency that comes from continuous victories.

Noita began to use her brain more carefully. She finally realized that this was not a copy that could be repeated infinitely. She needed both strength as a guarantee and brains to come up with strategies.

Every failure makes you wiser, and you must never be fooled by worms again.

Suddenly, Noita's gaze froze on Paro.

She realized where the sense of déjà vu came from.

It is a tendency towards self-destruction.

The most familiar element here is the heavy deathly aura emanating from Paro as he approaches death.

In terms of the destructiveness associated with worms, the leader of the Life Society, Paro, brought a homogeneous similarity to Noita.

The present reflection is not worth mentioning. The danger lies not in the reflection of the past, but in Paro in the city of Serkar.

The only question is, could it be a worm? And how credible is the Myna's claim that it's a curse?

While Noita was thinking, a bullet came with a golden tail flame.

A golden swallow streaked across the picturesque, clear sky, piercing the Tiger Claw Gang leader's head with pinpoint accuracy. A flash of golden light passed, and the enemy fell to the ground.

The shot killed him instantly, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

Chapter 160: Gate City is really useful!

The golden bullet that streaked across the clear sky brought the gunman's greetings. Before the Miaoyin Bird could be seen, the leader of the Tiger Claw Gang was burned by the golden fire, losing his functions and died.

He started up and was shot dead in one second. Nothing much to say.

Unknown to the local residents, Miaoyin Bird also had a glorious past. She had used all kinds of fancy methods to kill people she disliked in the secret realm. However, her temper improved only after she had more experiences and became more relaxed.

I won't shoot a criminal just because I feel like it.

Miaoyinniao could count seven weaknesses of the Tiger Claw Gang leader with her eyes closed, so it was too easy to kill him with one blow.

Then another gunshot was heard, and the rope that was hanging Paro and the other two was cut by the bullet. Noita followed the trajectory of the bullet and saw the beautiful bird at the end of the road.

In the middle of the open space where the crowd had made way, Miaoyin Bird blew away the wisp of green smoke from the muzzle of the gun, took off its hat and swung it into the wind. The brown cowboy hat spun and took off, and fell into the hands of a lucky person under the attention of everyone. When he turned around, Miaoyin Bird was nowhere to be seen, disappearing into the open space.

Noita was not distracted by the flying hat. She quietly left the place and followed the footsteps of the beautiful bird.

The topographic map flashed through Noita's mind. She took a shortcut, moved swiftly along the roof, and descended from the sky like an antelope jumping over a cliff, intercepting the wonderful bird at a corner.

Miaoyin Bird was frightened by the person who fell from the sky and almost raised his gun to shoot. When he saw it was Noita, he put down the gun, patted his shoulder to comfort himself, and put the gun away.

"You scared me, it's you. Is there something wrong?"

Noita said quickly, "How much do you know about Paro?"

"We've been neighbors for fourteen years, and we're as close as brothers." Miaoyin Bird smiled. "Why do you suddenly want to ask about him?"

Noita expressed her concerns: "I suspect he's a worm. What curse did Paro once endure? Can you tell me in detail?"

The destructiveness of Paro, which was similar to that of a worm, really made Noita feel bad. If Paro was really a worm, then Serkar would be in big trouble, especially since the community he controlled was close to Community No. 7. If he really wanted to do something bad, it would easily affect his base and cause damage to his daily experience.

The bird of prey didn't know what worms were, but she could tell the seriousness of the problem from Noita's serious expression.

After a brief hesitation, the bird of joy told the story of the curse she had heard from Paro's true form.

"Paro's curse came from this dream. He was burned by the flames of the dream, leaving an unhealable wound on his torso. It gave Paro power, but also made him hate all beautiful things and want to destroy everything. This is the trouble he encountered. If you ask me, it was an unprovoked disaster. But compared to the unfortunate people who were directly burned to ashes by the flames, his luck can be called excellent. After all, he is still alive, just having to destroy things from time to time."

Typhon represents destruction and pain. Its power is purely destructive. People burned by the fire of Typhon will occasionally develop this destructive disease and curse.

It is pain that demands hatred as its response, and only the absence of all that exists can satisfy Typhon's hunger.

The extremes of the worms are similar to the destruction of Typhon. They are close things, but the destruction of Typhon is a force of unconscious expansion. Paragons and demigods rarely take the initiative to touch it, while the worms enjoy the treatment of beating one on sight.

In the last era of struggle, they were the military advisors of tyrants and the treacherous servants of the court. Although they were not welcomed, they were quite useful in the endless struggles, and people learned to cooperate with worms.

In this era, they are unwelcome and are considered humble creatures that cannot thrive in the sun.

If Paro were cursed by Typhon, it might indeed be mistaken for a worm.

Miaoyin Bird finished her story quickly. She lit a cigarette and said, "Even if Paro is really entangled by the worms, what's the point of knowing this now? Paro is far away in Serkar, and we are in the secret realm. Even the time difference is five times. What can you do?"
