Train to Moscow
The muscles under the mask are reorganizing. The muscles are not red and filamentous but like tentacles, wriggling in rows like dense lines.
If Jiang Kexin raised her head at this time, she would probably understand how Iris, who had no organs of speech, communicated. Iris's tentacles coiled upward step by step from the outline of a face, and finally slowly rested on Hagen's ear, and the tentacles moved slowly.
Hagen's expression changed from relaxed to indifferent, and his face suddenly became gloomy like a storm.
Hagen nodded to Iris, and his words were unclear.
"Iris, just as you said, I don't want Jiang Kexin to be taken away by his kind. Then I'll leave that human to you. It just so happens that you need to vent your anger. It was a long time ago that you tore those mercenaries apart."
Iris nodded indifferently, but his expression said otherwise. His face was covered with densely packed tentacles that wriggled like larvae, and they were undulating happily.
However, all this returned to normal when Jiang Kexin looked up again. Hagen saw that Jiang Kexin had regained her composure, with praise in his eyes. Then he approached Jiang Kexin and kissed her lower eyelid under her trembling eyelids. Then he politely reached out his hand and took Jiang Kexin into the aquarium.
"Iris needs to take care of some things, so I'll show you around. Don't worry, he'll be back soon."
The aquarium was filled with a dim blue and a cold atmosphere, as if stepping into a deep, unknown world. Jiang Kexin looked around. Unknown creatures were swimming around everywhere. They moved freely and looked small and cute, like jellyfish but not jellyfish. Hagen noticed Jiang Kexin's gaze and followed her. With a smile on his face, he introduced them, "These jellyfish are beautiful, aren't they?"
Jiang Kexin's eyes were filled with deep confusion. Why were these things called jellyfish? They were obviously not jellyfish. Jiang Kexin stretched out her hand and touched the glass but failed to touch it.
Hagen then forcefully placed his hand on it, then pulled Jiang Kexin's hand down, intertwining their fingers, looking strong and possessive.
The jellyfish looked at them with longing, as if they were reluctant to leave. They crawled on the glass wall and made the same sounds that Hagen had made before.
Hagen closed the door as he pulled Jiang Kexin along. They passed through the empty aquarium. There was only a pool of swaying water and nothing else. The only living creatures here were Hagen and him. They walked in the empty room, and their heels made a thudding sound on the ground.
Hagen casually brought up the topic: "I remember Stanford once said you had two companions, but they weren't as lucky as you. They might have been killed in the snowfield, right, Jiang?"
Jiang Kexin didn't understand why Hagen suddenly brought up this, but he still changed the subject very cautiously. He didn't want to say anything. He indulgently stretched out his hand for Hagen to hold tighter.
He was betting that there was a discrepancy between Hagen and Count Stanff's information. Count Stanff had found out everything about him, but Hagen had only heard about it and he might not know whether it was true or not.
As long as Jiang Kexin doesn't say anything, then no matter what Ellisted and Tana are doing as long as they don't go into the amusement park, they will be safe.
Jiang Kexin thought so and became more proactive. He wanted Hagen to know his initiative and ignore these topics.
Hagen rarely felt Jiang Kexin's initiative, so he didn't make things difficult for Jiang Kexin. Anyway, those humans would be eliminated before they could see Jiang Kexin, and Jiang Kexin chose him and would never leave him. He was not a loser like Steve.
Hagen was in a good mood and took Jiang Kexin to a swimming pool with a smile on his face. The water in the swimming pool was clean, clear and charming, but it was also very deep, enough to make Jiang Kexin panic.
Jiang Kexin also saw some creatures swimming in the water. They were waving their tentacles and moving freely in the water. These things made Jiang Kexin think of Hagen and Earl Stanford for some reason.
Hagen noticed Jiang Kexin's gaze and took the initiative to explain, but his words were a bit meaningful: "These are just the small fish raised by Iris. Don't be afraid. You wait here for Iris to come back. If you feel bored, you can play with these fish."
Hagen glanced at the fish and a smile crossed his lips.
Then he noticed Jiang Kexin's discomfort and bent down as if to say goodbye to the audience after the performance, and kissed Jiang Kexin's hand. His kiss was restrained and polite, but Hagen couldn't help it.
Because of his appearance as a young man, this lack of restraint made Jiang Kexin a little embarrassed. Finally, Hagen kissed and bit the fingertip, raised his eyelids nonchalantly, and was full of aggression, as if he wanted to tear him apart and bite him into pieces. Then he said, "Jiang, wait for me to come back obediently."
Apart from these words, he never mentioned anything about Jiang Kexin's companions again, as if the people he had just mentioned were all Jiang Kexin's illusions.
Was this a warning? Had he successfully changed the subject? Jiang Kexin's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Hagen left.
The door was closed, isolating the outside world. The aquarium was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of creatures sliding on the water's surface. Apart from that, there was no other sound.
Jiang Kexin was the only one left here. She retracted her obedient expression and returned to her original calm demeanor.
Jiang Kexin didn't ask why Iris was there or where she had gone. Iris's absence was a better time for him.
He was not that curious. When he learned that these were monsters, the nature of his idea of exploiting them changed. Exploitation was exploitation, as long as it could be exploited.
At present, Hagen has done everything he needed him to do, so Jiang Kexin has no reason to stay and pretend to be submissive.
What he had to do now was to get himself out of this copy.
As for how to leave this copy, Jiang Ke thought, he could only try all his guesses.
One, find out what the monster here is. Two, why has it become like this?
He didn't have any strategy guides left by his predecessors, so he had to find all of this by himself. When he thought that he had to write the strategy himself, Jiang Kexin inexplicably felt like a so-called pioneer and inexplicably felt like he was the detective who provided the rule book.
…
Iris was left outside the door. He shrugged his shoulders, and exuded a ferocious aura like a beast hunting its prey.
Although I can't see his face, I can feel his happy mood. Iris is very interested in killing humans and he hates humans, there is no doubt about it.
Then he stretched out his hand and pressed down, and two knives suddenly popped out from his gloves. The two knives were extremely sharp and could easily kill people.
Then he leaped forward, and the friction sound of his cloak hitting his boots made a lot of noise. This didn't seem like hunting, but more like a cat playing with a mouse. After all, this sound was enough to make the prey react, and then run away when Iris arrived.
But Iris didn't care. He was confident and cruel, as if he didn't think the prey could escape from his hands.
When Iris landed on the ground and was only one step away from Ellisted, the two of them looked at each other in the alley. In the exchange of glances, Iris felt the fear of the prey, and Ellisted felt the fear of suffocation.
As Iris's footsteps got closer.
Elisid realized that something was wrong, so he turned and ran.
While running, Ellisted was in tears. He just stopped, so how could the battle wheel be triggered? He had no ability to fight against others.
The character design of this card is not suitable for combat at all, and he cannot take the initiative, but fortunately, he still has time to react before the combat round is triggered.
When Ellisted was running.
Everything he triggered now entered the battle appraisal. Since everything in this world was determined by the roll of dice, battle was no exception. In other words, in addition to one's own strength, luck was also important, which determined whether one could fight back or be killed.
And Ellisted is obviously a guy with bad luck, as can be seen from his great failure in psychology.
[Ellisted's stealth check echo is: 1d100=54/40. The bloody beam allowed me to give you an echo. This is not a lucky thing. Ellisted, run. [Failure]]
Ellisted's hopes were dashed. He had originally wanted to use the success of the system to escape his current fate, but now it seemed that this was of no use at all.
Ellisted leaned against the innermost part of the street, panting. He looked at the monster that was approaching him. The monster's face was covered and he could not see it clearly. He tilted his head and held the knife in front of him with both hands. The knife was so sharp that it was even reflecting light.
Ellisted could even see his own sweaty and dazed look from the back of the knife.
