The old man turned around and didn't see the person clearly. He could only vaguely see a black shadow coming from the direction of the door. The next moment, he felt numbness on the left side of his face, and then his eyes followed his body flying out.

It was at this time that he saw clearly that the person who came was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. When he was kicked three or four meters away, the girl was still holding up her right leg without putting it down.

It was immediately clear that it was obviously this girl who kicked him out the last second.

The old man's back was pressed against the wall tightly, and it stayed like this for a while, as if it was glued to it. Until his left slipper not far from his eyes spun a few times in mid-air and fell to the ground.

He slowly slid down to the ground against the wall. The moment he landed, he first heard the "clicking" sound of the bones in his face, and then felt a sharp pain that he had never experienced before. He didn't know what it was.

It wasn't an illusion, he could still vaguely smell the smell of leather boots. All the feelings returned to the old man after landing, just like Roland's kick that prevented the old man's soul from catching up with his body.

The old man screamed, his voice far hoarse than when Fang Xiaoling shouted "Help" just now, but no matter how violently he screamed, even if the soundproof door was opened, no one in the entire corridor opened the door to check.

Fang Xiaoling was still in the fright and shock just now. She didn't even notice that Roland had bent down, put the shotgun on the ground aside, and carefully pulled out the needle inserted in Fang Xiaoling's ankle.

.

The old man was already in too much pain to speak, but when he saw the silent Roland tightening the connection between the needle and the syringe, he began to have an ominous premonition, so he endured the severe pain and spoke, trying to make things as smooth as possible.

Moving in a good direction, "High school students who can use guns, it seems that I underestimated your status, I'm sorry."

Roland didn't speak. She just took the syringe, stood up slowly, and walked towards the old man. Her eyes were calm, without any anger or murderous intention. She was like a housewife who was about to put the kitchen knife back into the kitchen knife holder, normal and

often.

"Let me tell you, I am a member of the tower! I am protected by a halo. If you dare to touch me, you..." Before the old man could finish his words, the needle pierced the skin of his throat and penetrated his vocal cords.

Roland pushed the piston handle of the syringe steadily, just as she breathed steadily, "Whatever you want to do to her, I'll give it back to you."

Fang Xiaoling stared blankly at everything that happened, almost forgetting her own existence. When Roland turned to face her, the whole world disappeared. There was only Roland and the sound of Roland's leather boots stepping on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Roland's cordial greeting completely broke Fang Xiaoling's tense nerves, like a pool of holy water that could melt all things poured into her heart.

"Sister!" Fang Xiaoling suddenly hugged Roland who came to her, buried her head in her arms, and then started to cry loudly.

Roland, on the other hand, patted Fang Xiaoling's head gently and kept repeating softly, "It's okay, it's okay..." like a loving mother coaxing a child who cried after being frightened.

Fang Xiaoling didn't want to stay here anymore. She tried to stand up, but her legs were sore and weak, and they were beyond her control. Even though Roland had helped her eliminate all dangers around her, she was still in a whirlpool of fear.

Inextricable.

Fang Xiaoling used to love watching movies. In her perception, she always thought that she was as strong and brave as the heroines of most inspirational dramas. When encountering danger, she would deal with it rationally, and at least she would not be frightened by unfounded fears.

Unfortunately, reality gave her a mirror, allowing her to recognize her mediocre and ordinary self.

Just when she was thinking about this, Roland had already squatted down with his back turned, and put Fang Xiaoling's arms on his shoulders, "It's okay, the first time I encountered danger, I was so scared that I even shouted for help.

If you don’t come out, you are already great.”

At this time, there were more than a dozen slightly swaying puppets hanging in the empty and dark room, but Fang Xiaoling felt the warmth. She hugged Roland's neck, and the nervous uneasiness in her heart suddenly dissipated, and her sleepiness and exhaustion followed.

Come on, the sense of security emanating from Roland made Fang Xiaoling yawn unconsciously.

When Roland was about to reach the door, Fang Xiaoling couldn't help but glance at the old man sitting slumped against the wall. Under the flickering dim light, he had completely turned into a puppet in human form.

"Hey -" Fang Xiaoling couldn't help but sigh and closed her eyes gently. She was not pitying the old man who deserved it. She was just sighing at how many evil and twisted human desires were hidden behind the invention of this drug. She asked weakly

, "Roland, when people become rich, will they become inhumane?"

"Inhumane guys have existed since ancient times, and it has nothing to do with how much money they have." Roland carried her back home and placed Qingqing on the sofa. "You can rest here first."

"Where are you going?" Fang Xiaoling asked nervously. She didn't want Roland to leave her at this time.

"Get you a glass of water." Roland touched her head, "Don't worry, I won't leave your sight."

Fang Xiaoling was silent until the cup filled with warm water was brought to her, then she asked softly, "Roland, after this time travel, what are your plans when we all go back?"

Roland did not expect that Fang Xiaoling would suddenly ask these questions. She put the cup into Fang Xiaoling's hand, "Of course, we will continue to look for a way to break the curse."

Fang Xiaoling started to squirm, "I'm not asking about this, I'm asking about your future thoughts."

"You mean after breaking the curse? I have really thought about this problem before. Believe it or not, I want to have a relationship, a normal relationship, not to complete a task, but to be together because we like each other.

"

Fang Xiaoling was still not satisfied with Roland's answer. She said anxiously, "I'm not asking these things! What I'm asking is me and you. After this time travel, will you be willing... Do you understand?"

Roland's eyes opened wider and wider. She looked at him in surprise, and suddenly felt her face was a little hot. She had never seen anything in her tens of thousands of years, but this time, she couldn't help but feel a little shy, "

You...do you mean that?"

"Well!" Fang Xiaoling put the cup on the coffee table and suddenly grabbed Roland's hands. Her eyes were shining brightly, "Are you willing? Be my sister forever?"

"Huh?" Roland finally understood what Fang Xiaoling meant. She reacted for a while before stammering, "But... ok, what? Why are you making the atmosphere so tense over such a trivial matter?"

Without waiting for Fang Xiaoling to speak, Roland quickly changed the subject, "By the way, don't you want to know what the old man meant by the tower? In fact, the tower is an organization, only..."

Before Roland finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiaoling, "I don't want to know those things. They are just some conspiracy by the rich to exclude ordinary people."

Roland was a little surprised that Fang Xiaoling, with such a stupid mind, actually guessed quite well on this matter.

Fang Xiaoling continued, "I've seen that kind of thing a lot in movies. Just let it be how you love it. I don't want to get involved in those things. In contrast, I want to know more about my sister. I don't know why.

I feel like you are becoming more and more friendly, sister."

"Hey - stop saying such disgusting words!" Roland felt goosebumps all over her body. She quickly thought about whether there was anything else that could be used to change the subject, "By the way! Do you know how I found you?"

"

Fang Xiaoling was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't had time to think about it carefully. Now that she thought about it, the door of the old man's house should be soundproof. So how did her sister find her?

Fang Xiaoling blinked, "Could it be that we sisters have a telepathic connection?"

"Shut up." Roland quickly interrupted Fang Xiaoling and said helplessly, "The diamond ring I threw to you is actually a micro locator. It was originally intended to allow you to arrive at school safely just in case. I didn't expect your actions.

The trajectory was so strange. After entering the elevator, I came back again, and there was no knock on the door for a long time, so I began to realize that something was wrong."

"Wow, it turns out that my sister already cared about me at that time. She was afraid that something would happen to me. You are so kind, sister!" Fang Xiaoling's pupils seemed to have flashing five-pointed stars on them. She said with admiration, "Speaking of which, my sister is really kind.

He is so handsome, I will never forget that domineering sweep, his cold back, his calm expression in a crisis, and..."

"Please be normal." Roland glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's already noon. It seems that a lot of time has been wasted. I have to complete the task now. Do you want to go with me or do you want to go back to school?

?”

"Let's go together!" Fang Xiaoling sat up from the sofa with excitement, as if she was afraid that Roland would leave her behind, "Sister, can you call me sister from now on? I feel that this title will be more affectionate."

Roland didn't answer, but just thought to himself. It seemed that the old man had frightened Fang Xiaoling a lot, but there were some things that had to be said, and he didn't care about her mental state.

"Xiaoling, I have to tell you something." Roland closed the door and said seriously, "In this time travel, I must have completed the task faster than you, so the next task will be about you.

, you need to do it alone."

"Ah? Alone?" Fang Xiaoling's heart froze, "Sister, are you going to abandon me?"

"It's not that I want to abandon you. The target of your mission is a freshman in high school, right? That means you may have to find opportunities to have more contact with him in your school life before you can complete the mission. This is not something that can happen in a day or two.

Roland walked without looking back, as if he had made his decision long ago, "I can't wait for you in this world in this child's body, right? If I don't hurry up, what if my mission target falls in love with someone else?"

It will increase the difficulty of the task. Besides, I will complete the task first and go back. I can also take a look at your true form and the changes around you, and maybe I can find some clues."

Fang Xiaoling made a summary of Roland's words in her heart, that is, "I am going to abandon you and go back first."

Even last night, these words of Roland were not enough to hit her, but now, after just a few hours together, these words made Fang Xiaoling feel very sad, "But that doesn't mean that I

Have you been left alone in this world?"
