Chapter 5

And the Bai family didn't need to pay anything at all. At most, they would give her a title in the Bai family, make her background look better, and then send her to school, and then she would be gone.

They weren't even willing to provide the resources she needed to graduate normally!

Just like that, you want to tie her to death on this remote planet in a corner?Drain her blood?

Capitalists all know that they need to pay an investment in the early stage, but they are lucky, wanting to be empty-handed??

Why not beautify them?

Seeing that she didn't move, the messenger looked indifferent, and said, "Don't think that my family has treated you badly. Nowadays, there are so many families like stars in the sky. If you have no support and enter school as an orphan, you will have no way out at all."It is our Bai family who are willing to help you when you are powerless and willing to provide you with a convenient way. "

After all, the messenger's mind was also fluctuating. He scanned the room calmly and silently counted the heads.

One, two, three, four... Strange, one is missing.

Obviously the news said that there were two awakened people in the slums, but the news had been locked tightly for no reason before. If it weren't for the accident in the business district, the news about the awakened people would not have been revealed.

Now there was only one girl in front of him, and the other could not be found.But it doesn't matter, let's tie the orphan girl in front of me first.

Oleander Heart said good guy, this is the beginning of PUA to her.

She sighed, laughed and tore up the agreement, and said in the envoy's frightened eyes: "I am poor, but I am not stupid. Farmers know that they must be well-served first in order to make their livestock grow fat and strong before they can be sold."Good price. You don't have to pay anything, just give me a dispensable title, and want me to serve your family for the rest of my life?"

She smiled and said: "It's really not easy. Your Patriarch can kidnap me directly, but he gave me an agreement, but it's just that I have the words 'very easy to sell' written on my face?"

"You also know that your Bai family is the ruler of this place. When the commercial area was ravaged by star thieves, where was your Bai family? You squeezed the blood and sweat of the people every day, and all the fat you raised could smear the faces of the star thieves."Right? But not only do you do nothing, you just enjoy yourself and don’t take responsibility, but after we have solved the Star Thief incident, who are you going to pretend to be a noble family? Are you buying and selling slaves forcibly?”

"Is the status of your Bai family very rare? You also know that there are so many families in the Federation. Your Bai family is still ranked high on this planet. You are the local snake here. If you put it on the main star of the Federation, you may even count as a weed."No, let alone the three major families of the Federation. You are not worthy to carry shoes for others, right?"

Zhutao suddenly realized, "Oh, that's why the Bai family sent people to see me so impatiently before I left, and wanted to tie me to death on this crappy boat of yours before I saw the big world, right?"

The orphans hiding behind were all stunned.

They never thought that it would be so terrible to get angry with their gentle and patient sister Zhutao, she was so capable of scolding, without using a single dirty word, but she stabbed people's deathbed with every sentence, tore open their most ugly scars and then sprinkled salt, ruthlesslyStomp hard.

But it's so cool!Sister Zhutao is so scolding!

The messenger's face turned from white to blue after being stunned by the oleander in one breath, extremely embarrassed and extremely angry.

He raised his voice: "Pay attention to your identity! Do you think you can turn the world upside down by becoming an awakened person? With the power of the Bai family, it is as easy to crush you to death as to crush an ant, and—"

The messenger pointed far away, pointing directly at the children watching the play behind.

He said sullenly: "Even if you leave, these orphans can't leave, they still have to stay within the sphere of influence of the Bai family. You dare to speak ill of the Bai family like this, do you really care about the lives of these orphans?"

Zhutao sneered, she knew it.

The other party dared to come up with such an unreasonable contract of sale for her to sign, because they thought they had taken advantage of her weakness. Even if she saw through the trap of the contract of sale and refused to sign it, they could use these children to threaten her and force her to sign it..

If she was threatened by the Bai family before she got Su Mo's recommendation letter, she might have to think carefully.

But now how much Su Mo has left for them.

It's almost like writing "This place is covered by Su Mo" in front of the door!

Zhu Tao didn't know how powerful Su Mo's family was, but she was sure that it was much stronger than the local snake Bai's family, so why should she be afraid?Even scolding the other party for myocardial infarction, she is not afraid.

People should learn to use all the resources around them rationally, and Zhutao certainly understands this principle.

Just when Zhu Tao was about to show his trump card and slap him in the face, there was an extremely chaotic noise outside, but in just a short moment, after a heart-piercing scream, everything fell into dead silence.

The temperature dropped.

In this season far away from winter, snowflakes drifted into the window.

It was cold and fell on Zhu Tao's fingertips, turning into a drop of water.

The envoy of the Bai family and Zhutao turned to the threshold at the same time, but most of Zhutao's sight was covered by the envoy, and she could only see pure silver swaying into her vision.

But the emissary of the Bai family, who was still arrogant before, was stunned as if struck by lightning.

7. meet

who is he?

The leader of the country of disorder is too mysterious to the Federation people. One of the reasons is that he lives in seclusion. The more reason is that he does not like to appear in public. Even if it is such a big event as the signing of a peace agreement, the Federation mediaThere is no way to capture his shadow, let alone take a photo of him from the front.

In this era of highly developed information civilization, Xuezhi is so mysterious that she does not seem like a contemporary person. Anyone who knows his face all has a high status in the main star of the Federation.

However, this does not include the Bai family.

The envoy of the Bai family would show such a dull expression, mostly because he was frightened by the scene at the door.

When he was sent to contact Zhu Tao, the Patriarch specially assigned dozens of attendants to him, and surrounded the house tightly. The guards guarding the door were even equipped with new types of weapons. How could ordinary people break in?

But now, this line of defense is like paper, snowflakes are lightly covering the eaves, and the cold air is pervasive.

The envoy of the Bai family saw that the attendants he brought were all lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. The guard at the door was kicked by the attendant next to the silver-haired man, rolled several meters, and got out of the way.

He was stunned for a moment, and even his reaction became a little slow.

He was between Xuezhi and Zhutao, when Xuezhi walked over, he thought he was looking for him, and his heart beat violently.

Then Xue Zhi walked past him without looking sideways.

Completely ignored it.

Envoy of the Bai family: ...I can't tell whether it's luck or misfortune.

And after Zhutao saw the whole picture of the silver-haired man clearly, the system notification sound in her head buzzed like a short circuit, which made her brain ache.

Before, she was able to maintain her composure in front of the envoys of the Bai family, but as Xuezhi got closer, her calmness slowly melted away like snow meeting a heat wave.

[System: Your puppet "Xuezhi" hates you +10.】

[System: Your puppet "Xuezhi" hates you +15.】

[System: Your puppet "Xue Zhi" hates you +20]

Oleander: ...

Grass!

What is this for!!

She knew who this person was, but she didn't understand why she saw him at this moment and at this place!

Xue Zhi stood not far from her, only a few meters between them, Xue Zhi lowered her eyes, scanning her whole body from bottom to top, like a cold scanner taking pictures of her internal organs.come out.

Zhu Tao felt chest tightness and shortness of breath from this stare, and quietly took a small step back.

The black bar representing negative emotions is still rising. Just looking at the coldness and alienation of the silver-haired man on the surface, it is impossible to see that his inner fluctuations are so terrifying.

Oleander is nervous now, very nervous.

"Magic Tower" is a tower defense strategy game. Players don't have their own facial image, at most fill in their gender or something, so Zhutao doesn't know whether Xuezhi recognizes her or not.

His eyes were cold scrutiny.

Xuezhi is good-looking, very good-looking. When the top Yangou Zhutao made the first S-class doll in his life, he put a lot of effort into his appearance, even if he can only admire this face in the illustrated book.OK

When the two-dimensional paper figure becomes a living person standing in front of her, this flawless beauty will bring a strong sense of shock to people's eyes.It seems that since he entered this room, he has spread his own aura invisibly.

Anywhere is his home field.

A heavy silence enveloped the sky above everyone's heads, and the extreme cold brought by Xue Zhi became heavier and heavier, as if even time could be frozen.

Oleander began to feel a little overwhelmed.

She felt flustered inexplicably, and glanced at the negative emotion bar that was still jumping up, and her heart flustered even more.

If, she meant, if Xue Zhi really hated her as the master because she felt "abandoned" and "released", how could she turn the tide back from the dead?

Zhutao really wanted to escape, she had anticipated the situation where she would run into her puppet, but it was definitely not now—she was totally unprepared and inevitable.

The mind is racing.

Xuezhi will find her here specifically, which means that he must have found out about her details. In this case, pretending to be stupid, maybe it will backfire...

Can't edit.

She's already on a dead end.

If you take a gamble, you may be able to save yourself from danger.

Glancing at the "+2, +3" hatred value again, Zhu Tao gritted her teeth and took the lead in breaking the frozen atmosphere.

She stepped forward first, and under the terrified eyes of the followers, she gently pressed Xuezhi's shoulder, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

"Thank you for finding me... Long time no see, Xuezhi."

Xuezhi's pupils shrank suddenly.

Clap!

There was a crisp sound, and the frost clinging to the edge of the window exploded into fine pieces.

Many people were taken aback, but the two people in the center remained unmoved, forming an atmosphere between them that no one else could get in.

Zhu Tao's heart was beating a drum.

There is also art in speaking, "Thank you for finding me", she would say this to reveal some hidden meaning, to let him understand that she really did not abandon him on purpose, she could not help herself.

Oleander herself feels wronged too!

The five top-level dolls that she worked so hard to make were all lost at once. Once her panel returned to before liberation, all the years of painstaking efforts were in vain... Did she want to?Does she want to??

As for the hate value, hate value——

Don't panic!Don't worry about debts, the most urgent thing is to stabilize Xuezhi!

As long as Xuezhi didn't stab her on the spot, Zhutao would have a chance to appease him.

...He shouldn't hate her so much, right?

Zhutao quietly cast a suspicious look.

Everyone in the room is in a state of confusion, and the ones who feel the most disturbed should be Xue Zhi's personal guards.

While guarding Xue Zhi's side, they sideways glanced at their lord in fear, fearing that the eccentric and obsessed with cleanliness would kill the little girl on the spot.It's okay to kill, but I have to ask for information.

The last person who dared to make a move on the Lord has already added a new collection to the Ice Sculpture Museum of the Kingdom of Discord, and that is himself.

The panic of the guards reached its peak after Xuezhi let out a short chuckle.

"……Ah."

Accompanied by this laugh, the wind suddenly rose and rushed into the room, blowing Xue Zhi's long silver hair into a mess, and there was undisguised mockery in his ice crystal pupils.

"You really know how to avoid important things."

He lowered his head, and did not distance himself from the girl, but whispered to her in a gesture like ear-to-eye contact.

"Back then, you cut off contact mercilessly, and even begged for the qualifications to stay, and you don't want us anymore... Isn't it you?"

"After so many years of no news, even a glimmer of hope was cruelly deprived..."

"How did it become so insignificant when it came to your mouth?"

Oh shit.

It's over.

She seems to have stepped on thunder... No, now Xue Zhiming is covered in thunder!It's hard for her not to step on it!

If Zhutao said that she couldn't help herself now, it would only annoy Xuezhi even more.

In his eyes, these are sophistry.

The black frame clearly shows its sense of existence, indicating that Xue Zhi's spirit has reached a certain extreme state, and he can't listen to any explanation.

Zhutao sighed: "Then what are you going to do?"

"me?"

Fingers like ice jade caressed her lips, bringing a cool feeling, Zhu Tao forcibly suppressed the thought of retreating, and met his dark eyes.

"I want to take revenge on you." Xuezhi said softly, "During the most painful period, I thought about it all the time."

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I should tear up your most precious things in front of you, let you taste the powerlessness and despair, let you wait in the darkest ice cellar day after day without hopethe result of."

Oleander: ...

This person is perverted.

How could this be so?!

The sound of the wind gradually overwhelmed everything, and the whispers between them were too slight. The onlookers could hardly hear what they were saying, only saw their extremely intimate gestures, and the girl's complexion gradually turned pale. don't know if it was due to psychological factors or the temperature.too cold.

She closed her eyes, slammed forward with the broken pot, took out the firearm that was lined with Xue Zhi's windbreaker, held the handle of the gun with his fingers in front of him, and pointed it at her head.

"Okay." When Zhutao opened his eyes again, his eyes became calm again, mixed with a little helplessness, "Since you hate me so much, then do it to me."

This time it was Xuezhi's turn to be stunned.

He looked at Zhu Tao and saw her fingers covering his, leading him to pull the trigger. When he really didn't intend to keep his hand, he suddenly threw away her arm.

boom

The bullet pierced the ceiling, and the impact blew off a small piece of eaves, sending sawdust cattering down.

Zhu Tao was dragged to a reel by him, her long hair drooped, covering her eyes.

She guessed right.Sure enough, Xuezhi is still Xuezhi.

The best way to deal with a person who goes to extremes is to be more extreme than him.Defeat magic with magic.

Leaning against his chest, she could feel the man's violent and chaotic heartbeat. She was unloaded, and Xue Zhi threw him away.

Xuezhi stared at the girl in her arms with complicated eyes.

It's not that he can't guess her calculations, but...

He hated her, no doubt about it.

But that hatred—comes from an indelible love.

His creator, his master, his highness, the object he once admired and yearned for the most, even if he plucked out his heart and trampled it to pieces, it would not be worth a thousandth of the pain of being abandoned by her.

They are all like this, Xuezhi understands that not only him, but also the other four people... Some of them have more extreme feelings than him.

How to forget?

How can forget?

At first, he still believed that she had no choice but to believe that she would pick him up one day.

Until they not only lost their connection with the Demon Tower, but their connection with her... was also broken.

The puppet cannot take the initiative to cut off the connection. This is a one-way contract, which can only be canceled by the puppeteer, that is, "release life".

Zhutao raised her head, with doubts in her eyes: "Why are you..."

"Why cut off contact?"

Xue Zhi stared at her, and asked the question that was so festered and festered deep in her heart that it hurt when touched:

"You don't want me?"

8. Wronged

Maybe it should be fortunate that the windowless house is being blown by the wind, and the wind is extremely loud.

Otherwise, if the personal guards heard the lord's voice mixed with grievances, they might be disillusioned.

It is really wronged.

Xuezhi's eyelashes drooped, the corners of her mouth were slightly downturned, her thin eyebrows drooped listlessly, she stared at the girl in her arms, silently.

He didn't say any more unnecessary words, but his eyes, his expression...all seemed to be
