pure white believer

Bird of Paradise took Nan Ting's silence as a default.

"I knew it! I knew it!" It flapped its wings suddenly and hit the cage heavily, "I knew he was lying to me!!"

The bird of paradise opened its beak, and its voice was hoarse and piercing, as if someone was scratching the glass with sharp nails, which made one's scalp tingle.

There was a dead silence in the room.Except for Nan Ting, everyone was frightened by the suddenly revived and talking specimen of the bird of paradise.

"you……"

It was Wang Xu who finally broke the silence.He recovered from the shock, raised his hand, and stared at the bird of paradise in the cage: "You, you really want to come out, right?"

Fu Cheng's pupils shrank: "Wang Xu!"

"Let me ask you." Wang Xu's eyes were red, his whole body seemed to be in a state of frenzy, and he asked tremblingly, "If I release you, are you willing, willing to help me kill that person?"

Bird of Paradise: "Who?"

Wang Xu turned his head abruptly: "He!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Mr. X at the end of his line of sight.

Mr. X still stood there quietly without saying anything.Most of his face is hidden behind the mask, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

The bird of paradise seemed to be thinking for a while.

"Okay." It said, and the voice returned to its original sweetness. "Of course. The premise is that you want to release me."

Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "It's a deal!!"

Fu Cheng took a deep breath.

"You're crazy, Wang Xu." He resumed his cold and majestic tone, "Put down the specimen, or—"

"Otherwise what?" Wang Xu grinned, "Fu Cheng, you are worried that I will take the credit for solving that person, right? Yes, after all, you never put me in your eyes! In your eyes, I am A piece of trash holding you back!"

"Put down the specimen!" Fu Cheng shouted.

As if he couldn't hear him at all, Wang Xu continued on his own: "You will always only see your teammates who died inexplicably! You would rather put pictures of your former teammates on your desk and stare at them every day. A dead person doesn't want to give me an extra look, right?!"

"so!"

He took a sharp breath, laughed again, and inserted the key in his hand into the birdcage: "Now you should admit that you are actually not as good as me at all, not as good as a waste in your eyes."

Mr. X suddenly said: "Don't open it!"

He did not deliberately lower his voice this time, and Nan Ting found that his original tone was very clear.But no one pays attention to this anymore.

click.

Kaka.

The legless bird of paradise got out of the cage in an extremely strange posture, and every time it moved, it would make a sound similar to the impact of bones.

It stopped at the mouth of the cage for a while, turned its small head, stared at everyone in the room with its dark eyes in turn, and finally landed on Nan Ting in the corner.

Two golden feathers fluttered to the ground.The Bird of Paradise flapped its wings and flew towards the Southern Court.

Nan Ting subconsciously reached out to catch it, otherwise it would fall into the water.

"Thank you." The bird of paradise stopped firmly in his hand, and the fluffy feathers on its belly tickled Nan Ting's palms a little.

Nan Ting replied politely: "You're welcome."

The whole room fell into an eerie silence, only the sound of the two of them talking.

"There is one thing I must emphasize." The Bird of Paradise tilted its head, its fluffy feathers floating in the air, "I am different from Wen Zhen. He is a liar, and I will keep my promise to you."

Nan Ting nodded.

It's saying it won't hurt him.

The bird of paradise spoke again: "But——"

"Bird of Paradise!" Wang Xu suddenly called out, "Now is not the time for you to chat! Kill that person, and you will be free, and you can do whatever you want afterwards!"

The bird of paradise turned around.

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me, human being." It said coldly.

Wang Xu blushed suddenly: "Yes, I let you out!"

The bird of paradise ignored him and turned his head back again.

"One more thing—I don't understand why you chose to stand with Wen Zhen." It continued to say to Nan Ting, "Don't you understand human beings? They are all hypocritical and despicable creatures. They covet The purity of spiritual beings, they don't want to eat your body and defile your soul all the time."

"If one day you become like me, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"I don't think it's as serious as you said." Nan Ting explained in a low voice, "He won't eat me."

In order to enhance persuasiveness, I added another sentence: "He cooks delicious food."

bird of paradise:"……"

It "hula" spread its wings and flew away from Nan Ting's hand.

Seeing this, Wang Xu's expression finally eased.He also imitated Nan Ting and stretched out his hand to catch the flying bird of paradise.

But in the next second, he heard the bird of paradise say to him in a rough and hoarse voice: "I also want to remind you first, human beings, lest you slander me for breaking my promise-I only promised to kill that person for you."

Wang Xu didn't even have time to take back his smile: "Hmm...?"

The black eyes of the bird of paradise stared at him.

It suddenly yelled "quack quack", as if laughing wildly: "But I didn't promise to let any of you go!!"

No one sees how it all happened.They only heard Wang Xu's screams first, but they didn't find anything unusual about him.It wasn't until the Bird of Paradise took off again and rushed towards the crowd at the other end of the room that they saw Wang Xu suddenly bend down.Then, his upper body fell forward, but his lower body fell backwards, and the two blood-red sections of his body were exposed to everyone's eyes—his entire body was cut in half from the middle.

Nan Ting looked at the two sections of Wang Xu who were constantly writhing on the ground, and couldn't help but lose his mind.

He thought again of the shark that was trying to prey on him.

It wasn't until screams and screams sounded one after another that Nan Ting was called back to his thoughts.Everyone was running wildly, and those who ran a little slower would be swiftly swooped down by the bird of paradise.Soon there were many stumps and bodies still moving and struggling on the ground.

The smell of blood permeated the air, so strong that Nan Ting even had hallucinations, feeling that there was a layer of blood fog visible to the naked eye floating in the air.

"Enter the room!!"

Mr. X's voice sounded, overshadowing everyone's shouts.

The others looked in the direction of Nan Ting as if they had just woken up from a dream, and then rushed towards the door next to him desperately.

"..."

Nan Ting suddenly realized a problem.

It seems that I... can't run.

He was packed in a water tank, and he couldn't control the movement of the water tank by himself.

Nan Ting couldn't help but hate his body without legs again.

Although the Bird of Paradise repeatedly emphasized that he would not hurt him, Nan Ting did not trust it.Especially after knowing that it hated Wen Zhen extremely, he felt that as an "accomplice", he could not get its "pardon".

More and more people squeezed into the room next to Nan Ting, and even Fu Cheng, who was injured and fell to the ground and lost the ability to move, was pulled up by one hand and thrown into the room like a package.Nan Ting raised his eyes and found that the owner of that hand was Mr. X wearing a mask. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Mr. X saved Fu Cheng?

why?

Surprised, he remembered that he was the only one left who couldn't escape.

There were no living people at the other end of the room. The Bird of Paradise stopped for a while on a certain calf, shook its blood-stained wings, and made another "click" sound, and once again moved towards the other side. Those who had time to hide in the room rushed over.

The people in the room suddenly became excited.

"close the door!"

"Close the door quickly!!"

Someone started to push the two heavy doors, but was firmly resisted by the people outside the room.Someone else yelled, "Fuck, open the door quickly" and "I want to live if you want to live", mixed with crying and screaming, all poured into Nan Ting's ears.

Nan Ting felt a little ringing in his ears.

As soon as he sank back into the water, the human noises became much quieter.Their voices mixed together in the water, forming a high-frequency "humming" sound, which made him... a little sleepy.

Nan Ting couldn't help closing his eyes.

But then, the water tank was suddenly pushed hard!

Nan Ting's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and was surprised to find that a pair of hands were pressed against the glass in front of his eyes.

Nan Ting continued to look up, and saw the owner of those hands standing in front of him.

He and his kindred looked at each other through the glass and the sea water.Tears fell from Youzhu's black pupils.

The bird of paradise was flying towards the direction of the two of them.Behind them was a crowded crowd and two doors that were completely blocked and were about to close.

Yuzu trembled and closed her eyes.

"I can't go anymore..." Nan Ting saw his mouth opening and closing, and said to himself silently.

He also said sorry.

Youzhu supported the water tank with both hands, and pushed hard towards the door.

There were wheels under the water tank, and under the action of the thrust, it began to roll towards the door, knocking over many people who tried to squeeze into the room at the last moment, and brought Nan Ting into the room behind the door.

In the next second, the door slammed shut in front of him.

On the other side of the door, among the hoarse and piercing birdsong, extremely terrifying screams that humans cannot make rang out one after another.

Nanting floated out of the water.

He opened his eyes blankly, staring at the crack in the door under the water tank.

From there, blood trickled into the room bit by bit.

Dazzling red.

Nan Ting felt as if he was stabbed by something sharp.

Then his heart exploded like an inflated balloon, and then slowly, slowly shrank into a crumpled mass in the silence after the loud bang.

Would this be pathetic?

A voice asked him from the bottom of his heart.

477, Do you feel sorry for him?

He had prevented me from escaping because he was afraid of his own death.If it wasn't for him, I would have left here long ago.Nanting wanted to refute.

——But now he saved you again, in the face of his own death.

He knew he couldn't escape, so he chose to help me in the end.And I don't need his help at all.

—but he saved you too.

That is redemption.

He thought forcefully, almost indifferently.

—So you feel sorry for him?

……

He suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Is this your sympathy?

the voice asked.

Nan Ting was silent.

He blinked, looked away from the pool of red blood, and said to himself, you were only briefly hit by this emotion.

That's it.

The bird-of-paradise slaughter lasted only half a minute.Half a minute later, the cry from the door gradually became weaker, and finally returned to the calm of death.

Everyone on the side of the door turned pale and looked at each other.

After another minute, someone trembled and said, "We... what should we do now..."

There are two doors in the room, one leads to the room with the Bird of Paradise, and the other leads to the hatch with the escape boat.

"To take the escape boat?"

"No." Mr. X said. After calming down, his voice was deliberately suppressed by him again, "You can't go out now. You don't know where the bird will go after leaving the hall. If you encounter it, you will only die." one."

"What do we do now?"

"Either...or else..."

"That mermaid is still here!"

A voice said abruptly.

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Nan Ting.

After a while, someone said again: "He is the accomplice of that bird!"

"We've got to throw him out of here..."

"Why don't you kill him?"

"But……"

"I think it's better to kill him first, in case..."

The people who survived the catastrophe suddenly started talking in a hurry.Nan Ting stared at them blankly.

"Everyone be quiet!" Mr. X said suddenly, his voice was not loud, but it was menacing, and everyone in the room shut up, "Xu Weiming, go and close that door first."

Mr. X points to another door in the room.

Xu Weiming, who had recovered, nodded, walked over, grabbed the door handle, and began to close the door.

Seeing that the two doors were about to close completely, Xu Weiming's movements stopped suddenly.

He let out a short "ah" and backed away from the door.

Everyone was also taken aback.

"What's the matter?" Mr. X asked.

Xu Weiming suddenly stuttered, unable to utter a complete sentence: "That, that..."

Nan Ting turned around.

Under everyone's gaze, a pair of hands pushed the door open from the outside.

The owner of the hand took off his coat that had been wet by sea water, casually hung it on the doorknob, closed the door behind his back, and then slightly combed his hair, revealing a pair of dark eyes.

After seeing the person's face clearly, Mr. Xu took a deep breath.

He yelled out of control: "Wen Zhen?!"

"smell……"

"Wen Zhen!!"

There was a bomb hidden in this name, everyone in the room backed away in unison, except Fu Cheng who was sitting on the ground.

Fu Cheng raised his head instead.There seemed to be a fire in his eyes: "...It really is you."

Wen Zhen stood at the door without moving, as if he didn't hear a word.He turned a blind eye to everyone looking at him, his gaze passed through the crowd, and landed precisely on the water tank at the other end of the room.

After seeing the mermaid floating in the water clearly, his icy expression suddenly softened, and his eyes suddenly became focused.

"Nanting?" He quickly walked over from the other side of the room, "Are you okay?"

The rest of the room backed away in terror, afraid to avoid him.

Nan Ting leaned out from the water tank, hesitated for a moment, then followed Wen Zhen's movement, and put his arms around his neck.

Just like when they first met.

He didn't know why he was doing it.

I suddenly thought about it, and then I did it.

Wen Zhen also seemed to be taken aback.

"What's wrong?" He patted him lightly, the temperature in the palm of his hand was much higher than the temperature of the water, covering Nan Ting's back with warmth, "You seem a little unhappy."

After a while, Nan Ting answered his question.

"I'm not unhappy," he said, his voice low.

While talking, he quickly let go of the other party, trying to bend the action just now into a simple greeting.

—his sanity came back to his mind, reminding that it seems like you shouldn't do this.

Emotions are a scary thing.reason said to him.It manipulates your mind unconsciously.

If you are not careful, you will be controlled by that sporadic sorrow.

Wen Zhen misunderstood what he meant.

He asked, "Are you mad at me? For being late?"

Nan Ting quickly said, "No."

"But you don't look at me."

Nan Ting could only raise his eyes.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

"sorry?"

Nan Ting felt guilty, and his voice became even lower: "It's because I didn't go back on time..."

Wen Zhen was unusually silent, and then laughed out loud.

He stretched out his hand, adjusted the sash around Nan Ting's neck, grabbed Nan Ting's hand, carefully inspected the wound on it, and conjured something wrapped in green plastic paper from nowhere , into Nan Ting's palm.

a candy.

It also has the words "Apple Flavored" on it.

"I brought you candy," Wen Zhen said almost softly, "Don't be unhappy."

The author has something to say:
