Chapter 2685 Now both of us have fallen into the hole
"Project?What project?"
Nikita's scarlet eyes flashed, and a hint of interest appeared on his face: "I was a little curious just now... I remember you said a few times before that you tried different ways of contact, but none of them reached an agreement with that child, so the experiment was unable to continue. According to your opinion, this time you are using another project in the school as the price, so that the child agrees to cooperate with your experiment?"
Because Thomas didn't explain it in detail before, Nikita was not clear about the true identity of the "successful experimental subject" and the internal grudge between Zheng Qing and the Crow.
Her guess was purely based on some information disclosed in Thomas's daily Japanese language, and she had made up for a drama of exchange of interests.
Thomas did not deny her speculation.
"It's almost the same."
He pursed his lips vaguely, tried to cheer up his spirits, and tried to say in a light tone: "In short, with this medicine, you will definitely be able to easily get through the most difficult stage when the spiritual seeds merge with the body. Then the spiritual seeds can help you clean up the demonic energy in your body... When you recover, even if you can't return to the first university, you can still go to the new world... I can accompany you to hunt dragons, climb the highest peaks of each world, watch the sunrise in different worlds, and learn a hundred languages... We have the opportunity to do these things you dreamed of doing back then!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke. Later, he couldn't help but gesture and wave his arms, which easily made Nikita recall the time they were in school.
The young man wearing a blue robe and often bruised nose and swollen face slowly merged with the figure of the young man wearing a black robe and slightly bent back in her impression.
Nikita held her cheek and listened to Thomas's enthusiastic description of the days ahead, with her eyebrows and eyes curled.
At some point the blue cobra quietly crawled back to her knees, clinged to her arms, spitting out a letter, listening to the male witch's imagination, the snake's head and tongue swayed unconsciously, responding to the male witch's gesture.
for a long time.
When Thomas stopped thinking and the house calmed down again.
Nikita sighed deeply.
"When he followed Mr. Ulishi through the Sahara before, it told me a story." The banshee lowered her head and gently stroked the cobra between her arms, with a very soft voice.
Thomas subconsciously frowned when he heard the words "Ulich" - although he was a crow, he was still an assistant professor at the No. 1 university and had a natural resentment to the names of the great demons he had heard of since childhood - but looking at the banshee with his head down in front of him, he finally said nothing.
“…Once upon a time, a young witch fell into the cave and couldn’t get out, so she shouted for help, hoping that the passing wizard could help her. Then an old wizard looked down with his head.
‘Stop shouting, kid,’
He said, throwing a shovel down, ‘Dig deeper, or dig a passage from somewhere else, or dig out the soil behind you and pile it under your feet… In short, you can only come out of this hole by yourself.’
The wizard who fell into the hole took the shovel and began to dig the soil.
At first, she wanted to dig out a new passage from the side, but after digging for a long time, she couldn't see any possibility of getting out. Instead, the light behind her became increasingly dimmer, and the darkness almost completely swallowed her up.
Then, she wanted to pile up soil again, but at this time she realized that she was sinking too deep, and the soil behind her could not be dug at will as soon as she wanted to... If too much soil supporting the cave was dug, the cave would collapse at any time and bury her under it.
Just as she was about to despair, another old witch appeared.
She also poked her head, looked down, and heard the wizard who fell into the cave asking for help.
But she was also powerless.
‘Stop digging, kid.’ The old witch sighed and threw a can of potion down there. ‘You can’t dig your own corner while filling your hole… Drink this can of medicine, and you will forget the hole after drinking it.’
If you forget this hole, you won’t think about getting out of this hole.
The witch who fell into the cave picked up the pot of potion and hesitated. Before he could think about whether to drink it, the third wizard appeared. He was a young witch.
Hearing the witch's request for help, he jumped into the hole without saying a word.
‘Are you crazy?’
The young witch who was originally in the cave looked at the scene in shock and couldn't help but curse, "I asked you to save me, not to let you get down... Now we both fell into the cave!"
The young witch who also became dirty smiled and showed her big white teeth, 'Calm down, beautiful woman, such a hole could not be left alone. Only when there are too many people falling down can we find our way out.'"
The story ends here.
Thomas frowned and heard the last patiently.
Several times during this period, he couldn't help but want to interrupt the story of the Banshee, but he didn't speak in the end. It was not until Nikita finally said the words, "There are so many people falling down that they can find their way out." His brows stretched a little.
"A very interesting story, the ending is thought-provoking... If you had nothing to do with an accident at the beginning, you would definitely be a very good teacher now."
Thomas sighed softly, looked at the cobra on the wrist of the banshee, and commented briefly on the story: "But I doubt it was really told by Ulich to you... Also, why do you emphasize that the witch at the end had a big white teeth?"
Nikita looked at him with a weird expression.
"I don't want to emphasize this," she reminded.
"But I only care about this." The wizard replied calmly: "No matter how angry you are now, as you said, we both have fallen into the hole."
The banshee turned her head and looked at the cold, blank wall in front of the desk.
A trace of nostalgia flashed in her scarlet eyes, and a gentle expression Thomas hadn't seen in a long time on her face.
After a while, the tenderness dissipated, she turned her head back and looked at the witch, and smiled sweetly: "People are only anxious about things that can be afforded, and only despair when they are still holding hope. After exceeding a certain limit, they will see it open. A long time ago, shortly after I boarded the fog, I had already seen it open. I used to die on that ship. Now I am called 'Nikita Zhou'... Do you know what this name means?"
The witch's face was a little pale, gritting her teeth and saying nothing.
Nikita curled his smile and looked at him quietly: "So, don't try to carry those things that cannot be carried. You treat me as a demon and a test subject, which makes me happier than treat me as her. If you are a crow for me, I can also serve you as a test subject... No one should have any extra burden."
ps, I wrote this chapter really well. If possible, I want to price this chapter 100 points~_(:з」∠)_Sometimes, I really think that this kind of chapter can be used for reading comprehension, with the right depth, the appropriate difficulty, and there is enough room for play~~
