Chapter 1097: The Outsider (12)
The mood had not completely calmed down, and Phinea's movements seemed stiff. In the middle of the trance, when the eyes were placed in front of him again, the shadow of the young man disappeared all of a sudden. An inexplicable panic burst out of the darkness around her, and Phinea stood still, not knowing where to put her steps for a while, and only when she wanted to shout softly did the dark shadow of the young man appear in front of her.
"The enemy is driving chariots, much faster than us. When they saw the man's body, they could easily guess that we were evacuated from the mine, so please concentrate. Reading the textbook's serious voice, Phinea nodded and lowered her head again, "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention." ”
Cheering herself up, Phinea lowered her voice and took a few deep breaths. She didn't know why she followed the young man in front of her like this, just because he had saved herself just now, and knew that he was a person sent by the king's forces, so she naturally regarded him as her own and gave him complete trust. Maybe it was because of a sense of security?Phinea thought, the cross pupils she had seen on the chariot still lingered in her head. With a woman's delicate insight, she was sure that those eyes were different from herself, and many others.
When she was wearing makeup, Phinea would always look in the mirror at the crosses in her eyes, and the crossed blood-red crosses resembled the burning torture racks written in the previous books. As long as the power is strong enough, it can imprison everyone on it. The shape and details of the pupils are well understood, and the differences are easy to spot in contrast.
It makes people feel frightened for no reason, but from it, Phinea feels a sense of steadfastness for some reason. That was the satisfaction I always felt before I was a surgeon.
But what if it was the enemy's plan? I deliberately chose a man who could make people feel at ease. Although that face can't be described as pretty, it's not the type that most women like. After traveling about a few kilometers along the mountainside, Phinea, who had recovered a little, suddenly thought that she raised her head and secretly observed the man in front of her in the night. Seeing only a blurry black shadow without any details, he was not concentrating, and even if he was less than a few meters away, Phinea thought that he could not be spotted. It seems that there is no breath on the body, and once it stops, it immediately merges with the surrounding black.
Thinking of the disguise and concealment of her self-confidence, Phinea felt like a child who had just learned to speak in front of men.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me just now. After a few more kilometers, the two of them were now descending the hillside, preparing to return to the town by another road, when Phinea finally spoke. There was a sense of courage to muster up, and whenever Phinea wanted to say something, she always felt like she needed to hold her breath in her chest before she could make a sound.
"I just saw it on the way, so I don't have to do it. After all, the enemy is the same, if you don't do it now, you have to find time to do it later. The young man waved his hand in front of him, his speed slowed by the slight gasp in Phinea's words.
"Just rest here for ten minutes, the enemy did not catch up, it should have lost the target. So saying, Phinea saw the man go to a tree and sit down, she herself took a few steps forward, stopped a few meters away from the man, found a stone and sat down, and exhaled.
"How long have you been here?"
"Less than three days. Phinea carefully touched her feet with her hand to determine the extent of the injuries she had sustained in the recent battle, and looked in the direction of the man, answering softly and earnestly. It wasn't because she was afraid, Phinea was well aware of the strength of the man. It's just that when the mouth is opened, the voice naturally becomes like this. She wanted to see the man's full face, but the darkness of the night was in the way. And not long ago by the chariot, even by the light, Phinea could see no more than a black and white sketch-like face. Just as knowing from which angle the light from several lamps will shine through, the light will always pull a pitch-black shadow on that face.
"We still want to observe for a while, but the above is urgent, and the reward amount is still increasing. So everyone unanimously decided to act, because it also provided a map of the old mining area, and during the first three days of investigation, it was determined that the topography of the old mining area was completely consistent with the map. It's just that I didn't expect that the rebel forces have a lot of detection devices in their hands, which are devices that can sensitively detect all kinds of metals, and for all of us who have been more or less mechanically modified, it is tantamount to deadly. ”
Phinea explained in detail: "I was surrounded, but fortunately I found it in time, so I had a chance to break through." After separation, the enemy concentrated their men in pursuit of us、、、"
The rest of the story doesn't need to be explained, and you already know what happened. The other two who were caught were fine, and the interrogation was nothing more than physical torture. But for Phinea, through Sworthy's words, he will face an abyss that cannot be climbed out of the region.
Thinking of her brother at this time, Phinea turned her head to look at the old mining area, and was momentarily distracted.
"The old mining area has been cordoned off, and you know that there are tens of thousands of troops stationed here. Once you lose the opportunity, you can only hide in it all the time. After tonight, the enemy's vigilance on this side of the mountain will definitely be strengthened. Too anxious, you guys. Also, didn't it tell you the strength of the surgeons here?" Phinea was pulled back by the young man's words, "Let's go, the rebels are coming after them with hounds." ”
"I mentioned it, but because I said that I came here to investigate the accuracy of the information, I 、、、"
The young man did not speak, he had already thought of the reason why the king's forces did it. It's more like having enough money in your hands and starting to become a little numb to the amount of money.
"It's obviously about paying these people to die. It was all mercenaries and bounty hunters, and none of their own personnel were dispatched, and they were still watching the situation develop. ”
Unspoken, Phinea was young, and the man thought she was about the same age as himself, or a little older. It will not take long to become a surgeon, and the strength is only in the first stage of surgery, and it is likely that it will only be in the later stage. Such people can be brought into the team, so there is an approximate upper limit on the quality of the team.
、、、、、、
"Dead. The female voice, "His team said they were going to pick you up, do you know something?"
"I don't know. Besides, you should have guessed what was going on, because of your gender, I can't just speak. "The man known as Occam resembles a humanoid brown bear. At this moment, he walked over to Sworthy's corpse and grabbed it with his right hand, which had been completely replaced by machinery, "I found it myself, no one else." As he spoke, he threw the corpse on the chariot, "You can go back, and there will be no result in catching up." But Sworthy's death reminded me of something. ”
"The enemy who lurked in the center of the mine not long ago?"
"Even if it's not him, it has a lot to do with it. "To report this, the detection machine is completely unresponsive to the enemy, and those people should know something." ”
