Chapter 23: People with bitter hearts can be filled with a little sweetness
About two meters in front of Scarlett's left, there was also a Dzeko standing with a serious face and sharp eyes. He looked at her with his brows tightly furrowed.
His amber eyes were filled with worry, and he shook his head slightly, signaling her not to come closer.
Scarlett calmed down for two seconds and withdrew her hand that was frozen in mid-air.
But she did not completely believe what the man said. She calmly opened the light curtain and confirmed the location of the flashing point.
Overlap!
The two flash points overlap!
What this means is that one of the Dzeko in front of me is real!
Who could it be?
Scarlett looked left and right.
Trying to distinguish true from false.
But the two people are so similar, as if they were carved from the same mold, even the arc of the black hair blown by the wind is the same.
Scarlett couldn't tell.
"Your Highness." Zheke called out to her, his hand moving closer, his tone urgent, "Get out quickly! This swamp is poisonous. If you stay any longer, your body will be corroded and permanently damaged."
"Your Highness, no! It's poisonous."
Dzeko in front of her on the left used the same urgent tone to warn her not to get close.
The Dzeko in front of him seemed not to notice the Dzeko who came later. His deep eyes were still staring at Scarlett, like a beast staring at its prey, his eyes were full of fierce greed and possession.
Scarlett felt uncomfortable being stared at.
The latter's Dzeko is much gentler, his eyes are like the night wind, warm and soft, making people want to indulge in it.
Scarlett did not wallow.
The more urgent the situation, the calmer and clearer she became.
Scarlett thought about Riley's words and kept looking between the two of them, trying to find a breakthrough.
finally.
She thought of something and opened her space again.
The situation was urgent just now, so she just glanced through it and looked at it again now.
really.
A few things are missing.
Scarlett took a deep breath secretly, and her breathing gradually calmed down under her frightened face.
After taking another look at the ends of their hair and confirming her idea, she decided to put it into action immediately.
Scarlett turned her head to look at the gentle Dzeko, "Dzeko, should you kill him and save me now?"
An SS-level orc, in a low-level area, encounters danger and his first reaction is to repeatedly tell her not to get close?
This is somewhat unacceptable.
It's a dimensionality reduction attack, shouldn't the opponent be beaten to death? Why are you being so polite?
The gentle Dzeko seemed to have realized this as well. He clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist, and shook his arm, sending out an invisible gust of wind.
The punch is so fierce that one touch will kill.
Scarlett didn't even have time to blink before she saw Dzeko's face stiffen and his body began to change. The color on his body shattered into pieces and was peeled off bit by bit, revealing the lifeless gray inside. When the wind blew, the tall body was like powder, scattered by the wind, leaving no residue.
"So strong." Scarlett exclaimed in amazement.
At this time.
Gentle Dzeko came over.
Bend down and extend your hand.
His hands are beautiful and powerful, just like the Dzeko before.
Scarlett slowly raised her hand.
"Your Highness, don't touch it, it's poisonous."
…
…
There was a dense forest where Dzeko landed.
The densely packed trees are arranged in a neat circle, and you can tell something is wrong at first glance.
The dense treetops blocked out the sun, preventing any sunlight from penetrating, causing everything around to become dim and dark, with gusts of cold wind.
The air was so smelly that it was suffocating, and the sour stench of rotting flesh was everywhere.
Dzeko didn't do what he wanted and punched the ground.
The muddy and slippery ground was unable to withstand the impact of the punch and instantly broke into pieces, extending outward in a spider web-like shape.
The tall trees that were standing straight just now all fell to the ground, fell into the cracked earth and disappeared.
My vision suddenly became clear.
That’s not all.
As the big tree fell.
Three round, full, thumb-sized black jade stones floated out and flew in front of Zheke.
Scarlett's face flashed through Dzeko's mind, and his expression became tense for no reason. He reached out, put away the cypress, and walked in a random direction.
Halfway through the walk, he stopped again and stood still for a few seconds. His amber pupils suddenly stood up and looked to the right.
Scarlett, dressed in black combat uniform, appeared at the end of the road.
She stood in the light, graceful and elegant, her long chestnut hair spread over her shoulders like seaweed, her bright and delicate face immersed in the sunlight, her skin so white that it seemed transparent, and her smile was radiant.
Scarlett also saw him and waved to him, her voice soft and sweet: "Major Zheke."
…
…
Sevilla opened the light curtain and saw someone very close to him, less than a hundred meters away. He guessed it was Scarlett and ran happily in that direction.
After running over, he saw Riley.
In the lush forest, the slender Riley was strangling a man's neck. His eyes were no longer as gentle as before, but full of bloodthirsty rage.
The person who was strangled had his back to Sevilla, so his appearance could not be seen. All we knew was that his back was very delicate, his figure was slender but not thin, and he was tall and beautiful.
And then...
Long hair, black combat uniform, and short boots.
For a moment, he thought of Scarlett.
He quickly quickened his pace and ran over.
When I got closer, it was indeed Scarlett!
Riley's grip on her slender neck distorted her facial features, and her face flushed red due to lack of oxygen. She grabbed Riley's hands with both hands, trying to pry open his fingers to get a chance to breathe.
However, Riley was too strong and she couldn't pry it open at all. She could only struggle in vain, unable to make a sound.
Sevilla was horrified and without saying a word, he stepped forward and pulled Riley's hand away.
"Riley! Let go! Scarlett will die!"
"Riley, I beg you, let Scarlett go. She will really die. You can't kill her. You can't!"
Riley slowly turned his head as Sylvia called out, and his cold voice pierced Sylvia's heart like a sharp sword: "Why can't she die? Aren't we supposed to kill her?"
Sevilla's heart trembled, and he was speechless after hearing this question.
He did not forget everyone's purpose, and he knew that his current behavior was like that of a traitor.
Can……
But……
He didn't want Scarlett to die, not at all.
Sevilla held Riley's hand tightly, prying his fingers apart one by one. His lips trembled for a long time before he could utter a complete sentence.
"Riley, please don't kill Scarlett. Don't kill her. I don't want her to die."
"Why not? Didn't you want to kill her at the beginning?" Riley didn't let go, but instead used more force.
With red eyes, Sevilla mobilized his mental power, trying to control Riley's hand.
But Riley was too strong, he couldn't do it even for a second.
Seeing that Scarlett's breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, the veins on her forehead popped out.
Sylvia was panicked and fell to her knees, begging with all her might: "Riley, I beg you, please. I don't want to kill Scarlett now, not at all. Scarlett is very good to me, she has changed for the better, let's give her a chance, okay? Just once. Or, you kill me and let Scarlett go."
"Just because she's nice to you now, you're going to forget how badly she treated you in the past?" Riley asked in a cold voice.
Sylvia opened her lips, her throat choked, and after a long time she found her voice: "Yes."
A little sweetness can fill the bitterness in one's heart. (Note 1)
This is the case with Sevilla.
Note 1: This is not original, it was said by Mr. Ma Dong in "The Debaters".
