Raiders, loyal dog

Chapter 39

Qiao Zhibai felt as if he had fallen asleep for a long time, but when he opened his eyes, he found that Ling Zixiu was still asleep as before, without even changing his position.

From this point of view, it shouldn't have been a long time.Qiao Zhibai thought so with a little peace of mind.It's so quiet that you can't even hear the wind.Qiao Zhibai supported the chair under him with both hands, and leaned up a little.He pursed his lips, intuitively feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

By the way, he lost too much blood and passed out just to open that strange metal ball.And that last sound, that... the metal ball that has been activated!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhibai, who was still a little confused before, came to his senses immediately, and lowered his head anxiously to look around, but after looking around, Qiao Zhibai didn't find the so-called " Equivalence Exchanger No. 001".He frowned and thought for a while, then reopened the kit on his body, and sure enough, the metal ball that had turned into a mini palmtop computer was lying quietly in the kit, with a very faint light blue halo around him.

Qiao Zhibai couldn't help but feel a little pain in his hands when he recalled the effort it took to open this thing just now, and those strange light blue blood emitting white light.After hesitating for a while, he still reached out and took out the thing, and put it in front of him to observe it carefully.

Sure enough, before he fell into a coma, he had heard this thing claiming to be an "equivalent exchange", but now judging from its appearance, this is a relatively small handheld computer.

Then, Qiao Zhibai lightly complained: Oh, of course, it’s not exactly the same as a handheld computer, at least the one in his hand has a useless light-emitting function.

After traveling to ancient times for the second time, Qiao Zhibai has not touched modern entertainment equipment for many days.Holding such a thing in his hand now, even if it is only similar in appearance to a handheld computer, it is enough to make Qiao Zhibai feel a little excited.I stretched out my hand and pressed the button that should be the power switch, and then, after a white light flashed on the screen, a strangely shaped text appeared on it.

Qiao Zhibai looked at the half-white and half-red text, which seemed to be stained with blood, and complained a little funny in his heart: Which god and man came up with this evil idea?Inspired by a horror movie or something?Setting the boot animation like this, is it to express "this thing comes from hell"?

This Qiao Zhibai had just finished complaining in his heart when he saw the words on the screen suddenly condensed into a small demon totem with black horns, which gently swayed around the screen and swiped the existence After feeling it, it suddenly disappeared.Immediately afterwards, the black screen seemed to be projected, and the picture on it gradually became prominent. A black kitten looked at Qiao Zhibai with its green eyes, and then said coldly while licking its paws. : "I am No. 001 of Equivalence Exchanger, so guest, please tell me your needs, what do you want to exchange this time?"

A cat can actually talk... Qiao Zhibai felt frightened.But then, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly raised his head and glanced at Ling Zixiu who was sitting not far from him in a little panic, and then his heart sank heavily.

Yes, he finally knew what was wrong with him all the time.

Qiao Zhibai thought to himself: He also knows how we get along these days, maybe it's the life of licking blood all these years, maybe it's the vigilance cultivated since childhood, no matter what time, Ling Zixiu's sleep is always light enough.Not to mention making some noises, sometimes accidentally turning over on the bed, making even the slightest movement may wake him up.

However, the strange thing is that in the past period of time, whether it was the sudden extremely dazzling glare or the movements made by himself, it was clear that any of them was enough to wake up Ling Zixiu, but in fact, However, up to now Ling Zixiu was still leaning against the wall of the carriage, and he didn't seem to have any intention of waking up.

What's even more wrong is that I didn't notice it before, but isn't the surrounding area a little too quiet?Qiao Zhibai held his breath, but found that he couldn't even hear the sound of the wind blowing.

Wait a minute, breathe?Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu on the other side in panic.Yes, yes, Ling Zixiu didn't breathe?

"What's going on here?" Qiao Zhibai couldn't control his voice, and reached out to grab the cat.

The cat should be just an illusion, but strangely, Qiao Zhibai really caught it.The cat reached out and scratched Qiao Zhibai, which didn't hurt him, but it hurt so much that Qiao Zhibai let go of it all at once.

"What a rude guest, so I hate dealing with humans the most." The black cat stood gracefully on the ground, glanced at Qiao Zhibai disdainfully with its green eyes, and then seemed to be giving alms He explained, "It's just a small time-locking magic. Since you took out my body until now, all the time has been frozen by me. That is to say, except for yourself, now, everything else Time is still. This is also conducive to our negotiation and communication.”

"Imprison...time?" Qiao Zhibai was completely shocked by this awesome phrase.

The black cat sat down and continued to lick its paws: "It's the first time to take human soul blood, but I accidentally got a little more. It just so happens that this is the first time we have cooperated. In order not to damage our friendly cooperative relationship, so As an equivalent exchange, I can give you this time magic to use three times. However, the energy consumed by time magic is also very large. Judging from the extra soul blood energy you have taken from me, each use can only 30 seconds in a row. So, guest, for my compensation, do you choose to accept or give up?"

"After giving up, can there be other compensations?" Qiao Zhibai tried his best to ignore the fact that he had been inexplicably drawn a lot of blood, seized the conditions that were beneficial to him, and hurriedly asked.

"So human beings are all greedy species!" The black cat raised its head proudly, then shook its head, and said coldly, "Except for this, there is nothing else."

Qiao Zhibai tried hard to resist the urge to spank the black cat, and nodded: "In this case, what else can I do besides accepting it?"

The black cat "meowed", then jumped onto Qiao Zhibai's lap lightly, raised its head, and said to Qiao Zhibai: "Then, guest, now show your right wrist."

After hearing what the black cat said, Qiao Zhibai stretched out his hand and rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, then turned his palm upwards, and asked, "Is that so?"

The black cat didn't respond, but lightly stamped its paw on Qiao Zhibai's wrist. After a few seconds, Qiao Zhibai saw a faint blue light in the place where the cat's paw touched his wrist. Appeared, and then, the blue light suddenly became bigger, but within a second, before Qiao Zhibai got used to it, the light disappeared completely.

"This is..." Qiao Zhibai looked at the demon totem on his wrist, observed it carefully, then frowned, and asked, "Is this the totem on the screen just now?"

The black cat nodded proudly, but didn't intend to say more, just looked at Qiao Zhibai and said: "As the best equivalent exchange, our purpose is to meet all the needs of our customers. As long as the customer wants Yes, no matter what it is, money, rights, cars or beauties, I can help you get it."

When the black cat said this, it paused for a while, and continued with some temptation in its green eyes: "It's just that when you get what you need, you need to pay a corresponding price. Equivalent exchange, we Business has always been fair."

"Equivalent...exchange?" Qiao Zhibai frowned as if bewitched by the black cat's eyes, and repeated.

"Yes, my most honored guest." The black cat jumped and returned to the screen, leaving only a flat image, "The next time you activate me, you only need to pay a drop of your blood. Wait Price Exchanger 001 will always be your most reliable partner."

Then, another burst of blue light flashed, and the miniature handheld computer became the original metal ball again.

Qiao Zhibai reached out to take the metal ball, and then stuffed it back into the kit.

Equivalent exchange.Equivalent exchange.

Qiao Zhibai has been thinking about what the black cat said uncontrollably. For some reason, he feels a little uneasy.

On the other side, the time-confining magic was released, and Ling Zixiu soon came to his senses.When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Zhibai sitting not far from him, frowning slightly, as if he was struggling with something.

"What's the matter, brother?" Ling Zixiu didn't like Qiao Zhibai's appearance very much, so he couldn't help but opened his mouth, breaking the strange atmosphere in the carriage, and slowly stretched out his hand in Qiao Zhibai's direction, with a smile on his face. He asked with a faint smile, "It's so late, can brother not sleep?"

Qiao Zhibai was pulled back from the daze by Ling Zixiu's words. Looking at Ling Zixiu, who seemed to be in good spirits and breathing smoothly, Qiao Zhibai also breathed a sigh of relief, took Ling Zixiu's hand, and sat beside him , smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I woke up suddenly, and it's not easy to fall asleep again. Outside, the wind is very strong at night."

"Is that so?" Ling Zixiu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes drooping down, blocking the look in his eyes, but the voice was indeed gentle and well-behaved, "It's getting late, even if you can't sleep, you should close your eyes Rest a little longer, I have to go on the road tomorrow, I have worked very hard, I don’t get enough sleep now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive tomorrow. Brother, please close your eyes for a while. I will sleep with my brother.”

Qiao Zhibai stretched out his hands to smooth Ling Zixiu's hair, his heart was so warm that he nodded, put aside all the entangled things just now, and said with a smile: "Okay."
