Selina turned around sharply and saw a figure floating in the air not far behind her, just above a crack in the ground.
Short and short, thin and frail, with long curly hair, he looked like a little boy. And this little boy was smiling at him with bared teeth.
Selina's whole body froze, she breathed heavily in her chest, and her scream seemed to be suppressed in her throat.
"Don't panic." The little boy smiled warmly and waved his hand to Selina: "It wouldn't be good if you screamed loudly and let the people above hear you."
After chattering her teeth for a few times, Selina finally forced out all her courage after many years of life-and-death mercenary career, and reluctantly said: "You, who are you?"
Looking at this little boy at this moment, Selina was not afraid.
But... fear!
That bone-chilling fear! Just like a frog being stared at by a giant python.
Like a frail baby bird standing at the mouth of a wolf.
That kind of natural suppression of the biological personality made Selina almost use up all her strength to even breathe.
The little boy smiled slightly and slowly collected his breath, allowing Selina's breath to finally become smoother.
"We have met before." The little boy squinted his eyes and looked at Selina: "I remember you. Among humans, according to human aesthetics, you are a very rare and beautiful human being."
"Gudu." Selina swallowed hard.
The little boy shook his head: "Okay, now, give him to me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Nuo's body held in Selena's arms.
"I, I, I..."
Selina was confused.
She wanted to refuse, but the huge fear in her heart made her dare not say anything to resist.
"Is there any difficulty?" The little boy smiled and said, "It might be safer for him to leave it to him."
"But……"
"Ah, by the way, I haven't asked yet how you found this place."
·
Why did Selina find herself here?
It's not complicated at all.
She actually came not to look for Chen Nuo, but to look for Vanelle.
After the Antarctic incident, Chen Nuo was not the only one who disappeared.
For Selina, even Chen Nuo's disappearance did not have a big impact on her.
But Varnell is different.
·
After last year's experience in the Brazilian rainforest, Selina left the mercenary organization and learned too many things she shouldn't know. She had no choice but to leave with Vanel, Lu Xixi and others after the incident.
Finally, Vanel arranged a new identity for Selina through Noah's Ark, and found a safe place to live in seclusion.
This result is not bad for the female mercenary.
Selina is already thirty years old. She has been working as a mercenary for many years, experiencing life and death, and being exposed to bullets and bullets.
She fought against rebels in a certain country in the mountains.
He also helped anti-government armed forces fight against government forces.
Received a huge bounty and hunted down terrorists in the desert.
Until the mission in the tropical rainforest completely failed, Selina's men were all wiped out.
And he learned from Vanel that the mercenary organization he belonged to had always been funded by the Octopus Monster Company...
Selina also understood that if she went back, she might be dead.
I know too much...
Arrange a new identity, arrange a safe place in a corner of the world, and live like an ordinary person.
Selina thought it was pretty good.
At least, maybe in the future, I can die in bed of old age many years later.
Instead of dying in a cave, or in the desert, or having your head chopped off by some rebel group in the African jungle.
Over the years, I have experienced too much life and death, and I have seen too much.
At the beginning, Selina's life was pretty good.
Vanel has always taken good care of Selina.
She arranged a new identity, a new place to live, and a job that seemed like a good job for an ordinary person.
Comfortable, leisurely and most importantly, safe.
At the same time, she joined Noah's Ark and served as Varnell's "safe house" and emergency contact.
Once Vanel is in danger, he can choose to flee to Selina's place to seek help and assistance.
She has always maintained a secret communication channel with Vanel and is in regular contact.
Then, some things about Vanelle will also be discussed with Selina.
Vanel did not tell Selina clearly about the Antarctic mission, but Selina still knew where he went.
Then, ten months ago, Varnell lost contact.
More than a month ago, Selina met an old acquaintance, Son of the Sun.
Son of the Sun asked Selina about all the records of contact with Vanel before she lost contact, and left after asking many questions.
Before leaving, Selina asked the Son of the Sun: "Is he still alive?"
The Son of the Sun thought for a while and told Selina: "There is not much hope."
"That means there is still a little hope, isn't it?" Selina whispered.
The Son of the Sun stared at Selina for a while, frowned, and then whispered: "You... and him?"
Selina said nothing and looked at the Son of the Sun quietly.
The old man finally nodded and whispered: "Yes... there is still hope."
Before Son of the Sun left, he told Selina something.
While Noah's Ark was looking for Vanel, it was also looking for Chen Nuo. And it offered a large reward.
"Vanel disappeared with that guy, so his chance of survival is much higher.
We all know that kid, and I always feel that he is not the kind of person who will die easily. Moreover, if we are with him, we might be able to survive together."
`
The little boy looked at the female mercenary in front of him, and he was actually a little curious and surprised.
The female human in front of him, if looked at purely in terms of strength, in West Germany's eyes, was almost an existence that could be completely ignored.
West Germany knew that many people had come looking for him in this area.
The octopus monster cost a huge price, expended a huge amount of manpower and material resources to search for it, and consumed a lot of resources.
Then, that guy from Son of the Sun came and looked for him.
The most important thing is that the most powerful woman among humans has also been here.
I searched here for a long time, but to no avail, and finally had to leave disappointed.
There are so many people who are much more powerful than this female mercenary.
In the end, this woman who seemed to be the weakest was found.
West Germany is looking at Selina, and Selina is looking at West Germany.
That familiar feeling of fear always feels like I’ve experienced it somewhere before.
"What I'm curious about is that all of your companions must have been here to look for them. No one else has found your companions, and they are much more powerful than you.
They haven't found it yet, why are you still here?"
Selinga pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "I will never give up until I see it with my own eyes."
"Emm... boring emotions and moods of human beings." West Germany sighed: "However, it seems that at certain times, it still has some unexpected effects."
Interesting...
West Germany stared at the female mercenary with a smile on her lips.
So many strong human beings have come here to search, but in the end, it was the weakest guy who found it.
"Okay, now, give him to me."
West Germany waved his hand to Selina.
The female mercenary's face was pale and she looked at West Germany with struggling eyes.
Suddenly, she made an amazing move!
The female mercenary suddenly pushed Chen Nuo out of her arms! Pushing her into the abyss of the ground!
Then, she quickly reached for her waist with her right hand and pulled out a pistol hidden there like lightning!
Years of training have made the female mercenary's action of drawing a gun and shooting very fast and standard!
However, just when the gun was pointed at West Germany, it was clear that his finger had already pulled the trigger...
"…………"
The muzzle of the gun seemed to be sealed and silent.
But Chen Nuo, who was obviously pushed into the abyss to attract the other party's attention, did not fall as Selina expected, but floated there quietly.
West Germany looked at Selina with interest.
"You pushed him down so casually...do you want to attract my attention and then sneak attack on me?"
Selina: "…………"
"You use him as bait. If he falls, do you know that you may die miserably?"
Selina: "..."
"I know a woman who is very powerful. She can be considered the strongest among you humans. She seems to care about this guy very much. If you push him down... Even if I don't hurt you, if you meet that woman in the future,
You will also die miserably."
Selina's body was trembling, but she was unwilling to pull the trigger a few more times. Then she put the gun down helplessly and looked at West Germany desperately.
Sid's eyes suddenly lit up!
"Ah, I understand...you don't seem to be here to find him?" With that said, West Germany reached out and pointed at Chen Nuo: "Your purpose is not for him, right?"
Selina's voice trembled: "There is a man named Vanel, do you know? He is very tall and burly, with short hair, um..."
When Sid heard this, he was startled, and then he laughed.
"What a coincidence. I happen to know where this person is."
When Selina heard this, surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
However, West Germany did not say anything immediately. Instead, after lightly hooking his fingers a few times, Chen Nuo, who was floating there, suddenly slowly flew back to the ice of the glacier.
After the ice melted, Chen Nuo's body was soaked in again, as if wrapped in some kind of power... it slowly solidified again.
Selina's eyes widened and she suddenly reacted.
"Did you create this place?!"
Sid glanced at Selina: "Otherwise? Do you think you are really that powerful? You found this place?"
Did I follow you in?
Stop kidding me, humans.
No matter how good your luck is, there should be a limit."
"Yes...you, um, frozen him, no, sealed him, you sealed him here?"
Why???"
Sid smiled peacefully and said calmly: "To wait for him to come back.
The temperature in this place is very suitable for preserving the body, and it is not easy to be found.
I also don’t like to deal with too many people or things that are too troublesome.
Here, no one will disturb or cause trouble.
In fact, if you hadn't run in, I would have just been running water at home to take a bubble bath."
Selina's eyes widened: "So, others came here to look for it before, but they didn't find it..."
West Germany didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and then felt helpless.
"You are an unexpected surprise for me.
The other guys...the old man who told me the biscuits were delicious, and the very powerful and powerful female human being.
These people trust their own power too much.
There is too much trust in the perception of mental power, so it is easy to deceive these people.
What I didn't expect was that you would actually come here and see this place with your eyes."
Selina shrank back: "Will you... kill me to silence me?"
"..."
"Can I ask if Varnell is still alive?"
Sid blinked at Selina a few times, then suddenly showed his white teeth and smiled solemnly: "The person you are talking about was eaten by me! The meat is very old and chewy!"
Selina's eyes immediately widened.
But soon, she realized that she had been deceived by this child.
Sid also touched his face.
Okay, I always feel like something is wrong with me.
Probably because I was always treated like a child "at home" and was dragged along by Fox to watch cartoons every day.
After watching it too much, sometimes I can’t help but think of myself as a human child.
"Okay, you can leave from here.
After you go back, it's best not to tell others what happened here.
Of course, if you insist on saying it, I actually don’t care. At worst, if those guys get the news and find them...
You can’t beat me anyway.”
When Sid said this, he looked at Selina and said seriously: "If you don't want your friends to suffer, it's best not to tell them, especially the old man who likes to eat cookies, and the powerful Qiang who has a bad temper.
woman.
If you tell them, the best thing they can do if they come here is to get a beating from me."
·
The guide above finally let go of the rope and came down.
The deputy below kept yelling.
The guide and another man worked together to open up the narrow entrance a little bit.
But soon, the rope below began to shake.
Selina pulled the injured deputy and climbed up along the rope. After the people above worked together, the rescue work was finally completed.
When the deputy came up, he immediately told everyone that the woman named Linda was doing dangerous things down there.
"She is simply crazy! She doesn't know what she saw, but she insists on going down into the crevices of the glacier! I can't even stop her!!!
Fortunately there was no accident, otherwise..."
The guide and others looked at Selina with ugly expressions.
Selina didn't bother to pay attention to these people at all. Even though the guide roared angrily and accused herself, she just remained silent.
But my mind went over what happened just now over and over again.
Especially what the little boy told me when he was let go.
"Vanel is still alive, but he can't go back to see you for the time being. His situation is very good, but he's just a little special."
Just stay alive...
Selina turned a deaf ear to the angry scoldings of her companions around her, but looked back at the crack in the ground far behind her...
Because of this unexpected accident, the original goal of the expedition to the South Pole was completely ruined.
The deputy was injured in the fall, making it impossible for the team to move forward.
With supplies in short supply and a wounded person, the team had no choice but to embark on the return journey.
When the expedition team's snowmobile slowly turned around and left, West Germany's figure was hidden in the wind and snow on the crack in the ground, quietly watching the team leave.
Then, he turned around and burrowed into the cracks in the ground.
In the gap in the glacier, West Germany's body was quietly suspended outside the ice layer that sealed Chen Nuo's body, and he sighed helplessly.
Then, his figure disappeared on the spot.
·
Appeared again, in a bathroom.
Reaching out to touch the water in the bathtub full of bubbles, Sid curled his lips.
The water is cold.
There was a knock on the bathroom door, and Fox outside was banging on the door hard.
"Sid!!! You've been in there for more than an hour!!! How long do you want to take a shower?!"
Listening to the little girl's cry, Sid smiled and said loudly: "It will be ready soon!"
·
When the bathroom door was opened, Fox was standing on the side of the door, looking at the guy in front of him suspiciously.
West Germany had a bath towel wrapped around her hair and a bathrobe on her body, wrapping her thin body tightly.
"What are you doing in there?" Fox frowned: "You're not... doing something disgusting like that, are you?"
West Germany shook his head: "Don't use your human thinking to judge me."
"Don't think I don't understand what a boy your age would do hiding in the toilet..."
Fox chased Sid into his room, then sat on a chair by himself, holding his chin in his hands and looking at him.
"Why are you staring at me?" Sid looked at the little girl and said with a warm smile: "Although I understand that you have entered puberty as a human female, I am not a suitable person of the opposite sex for your admiration."
Fox's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? I won't like one, one...one..."
Sid shrugged: "A boy who looks smaller than you?
A non-human monster?
Or a homeless person who has been living in your house for ten months?"
Fox was choked for a moment, and she said slowly: "I feel more and more lately that there's something wrong with you..."
"wrong?"
"Well, it's not that something is wrong, but...it's different from when you first came here."
Syd frowned and looked at Fox seriously: "What's the difference?"
"You... are becoming more and more human."
The smile on Sid's face disappeared.
He lowered his head and thought seriously for a moment, then raised his head and frowned: "Is this so...?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it." Fox nodded: "When you first came here, I hated you and was a little afraid of you.
Now, I feel more and more that you are a pretty good guy. Sometimes, it feels like there is really an extra brother in the family."
Syd's expression suddenly became very exciting: "...Brother?"
"Yes, I have always wanted to have a younger brother."
"………………"
"Especially every time you and I compete for candy, you are more like my little brother."
Sid rubbed his eyebrows, then walked into the back of the closet to change clothes.
Fox didn't leave either. As if he was used to it, he turned around without anyone noticing, with his back to West Germany.
At the same time, the girl continued: "Every time we grab candy and the TV remote control together, I feel like you are my biological brother, even though you refuse to let me go every time.
And about my affairs in school, you will also listen to the boring things I say to you, and then you will give me some bad ideas..."
"Bad idea? Including the last time you locked her in the girls' bathroom in order to get revenge on the girl on the cheerleading team?" Sid's voice came from behind: "Change your clothes."
Fox turned around and watched Syd put on a loose old sweater. He nodded: "The cuffs are a little torn. Let mom fix them for you tomorrow."
After a pause, Fox continued: "Didn't you come up with that idea?"
"I saw it from the TV." West Germany spread his hands.
"But……"
When Fox was still about to say something, Sid had already walked in front of her, suddenly stretched out his hand, gently pressed on the girl's head, and touched her hair.
"???" Fox looked at West Germany in surprise: "What...are you doing?"
Sid stared into Fox's eyes and said slowly: "I may have to leave."
Fox's face suddenly tightened, and the little girl subconsciously pursed her lips.
"Aren't you saying that since you have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do, why not stay with us?"
"Yes, I said that."
"Isn't the Antarctic thing over?" Fox whispered: "You and I have been to that place. You said you have done what you want to do. Doesn't that mean... it's over?
?”
After sighing softly, West Germany's voice became very unpredictable.
"No, it's not the end...
But, it’s about to start.”
"Start...start what?"
Sid touched the girl's slightly curved but soft hair and murmured in a low voice:
"A little mouse who thought he was smart but was actually being stupid was blocked in a cell by a powerful mouse. He was trying his best to defeat the big mouse and escape from the cell.
But..." When Sid said this, he suddenly closed his mouth.
Fox naturally then asked: "But what?"
"...But..." Sid let go of his hand, but walked to the window and looked out the window quietly, as if he was talking to Fox, and also as if he was talking to himself.
"...But...this little mouse doesn't realize that it is not actually a mouse.
But...a cat.
That seemingly powerful big mouse can actually devour the cat in one bite!
Huh, stupid humans.
You trust your own thoughts and spiritual perceptions too much.
No real spiritual being dares to trust his own perception so much.
And human beings who have not even touched the threshold of spiritual life are so superstitious about perception..."
