"Stop the bleeding." Parisa, who was next to him, saw him losing his composure, didn't say anything else, just took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket and handed it over.

Rosie took the handkerchief, spread it on the wound restlessly, and pressed down hard, the sharp pain awakened her reason.He closed his eyes, let the flame of jealousy fade away gradually, and suppressed the untimely possessive desire for Deng Huailing.He shouldn't have lost his composure like this, but seeing Deng Huailing smiling at others and giving them rings, Rosie felt that his exclusive things were taken away.

It turned out that he was so hypocritical and selfish. He hoped to draw a clear line so as not to implicate the other party, and he refused to let go when Deng Huailing really left.Rosie stared in horror at the blood on the handkerchief, wondering what had changed him, who had been a free-spirited man for twenty-three years.

However, just now he threw away the ring in a fit of anger, and he still carried out his original plan.After witnessing this scene, Deng Huailing should have given up completely and would not spend any more time on him. This is the only fortunate result.

Rosie calmed down, raised her head and looked around. The people who were disturbed had recovered and continued to chat and laugh.On the side next to the wall, Deng Huailing was gone, only Su Qing was left sitting alone on the sofa drinking, occasionally raising her eyes to look here, obviously curious about him.

He was stunned for a moment, and when he regained his senses, he remembered what Parisa had said.Su Qing was Cesina's close friend eighty years ago, that is, a virtual character in the Huanhai system. Even if she is still alive in reality, she should be over a hundred years old.Deng Huailing has no reason to be interested in her, and the purpose of talking to her is to get clues.

More than a hundred years old... When Rosie thought of this age, she first smiled because of the unrealistic sense of separation. Regardless of the main urban area or the second district, the average life expectancy of the non-rich class is no more than 60 years old, and the second district is even worse. Only40 years old; but then he remembered a person, the smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and the belated surprise swept through his heart like a storm.

"Because they were a wedding present I made for an old friend..."

"My friend, you all know..."

Luoxi looked at Su Qing in disbelief, her calm and elegant temperament, her eyes full of aura, and her brows were vaguely similar to the old women he had seen - Su Qing was the one who made the earrings for Rosie.A shopkeeper, she was Cecina's good friend back then, and she has lived to their era!

Similarly, he and Deng Huailing's black ring was also made by her, and it was given to Cesina as a wedding gift.In this way, it is very likely that Deng Huailing did not give her the ring, but simply showed it to her in order to ask for some relevant clues.

However, he lost the black ring out of impulse.Rosie clutched the handkerchief in frustration, he had completely misunderstood Deng Huailing.

When he turned around, the waiter who had just taken away the black ring was nowhere to be seen. In the bustling banquet hall, it was difficult to find a specific waiter.

Not much time left, the first dance music came to an end, and the guests began to gather in the center of the dance floor one after another. The Cesina couple was crowded with people, including Victor's subordinates.Rosie would lose the initiative if those people were allowed to take Cecina away.

Piper and the killer exchanged glances, and each led their people to follow.Rosie put the matter of the Black Ring behind her for a moment, took Parisa's outstretched arm, and walked onto the dance floor.

Their plan is not to hold Cesina hostage and force a confession, God knows whether the Huanhai system will punish this behavior.But it is necessary to occupy a favorable position next to Cecina in advance, so that when the partners are exchanged, Parisa can strike up a conversation with Cecina, and Rosie can also learn from her husband, Joseph von Richthofen.Put some information on you.

Bright waltz music flowed from the orchestra pit, and the gorgeous skirts of the female guests spread across the ground, like a floating picture scroll, with sparkling sequins.Rosie put her on Parisa's shoulders, and the two slowly spun and approached Cecina. The fragrance smelled as strong as morning mist wrapped in flowers along the way.

Parisa seemed to be just dancing with him, with her right hand lightly holding the position of his butterfly bone, neither fully touching nor forcing him to get close, whispering the timing of the turn so that Rosie would not make a mistake.

Rosie looked up into the other's green eyes, but was not fascinated by the gentle demeanor, and he saw through the trick from the moment Parisa asked him to dance.Parisa wanted Deng Huailing to see their intimate scenes, and further created a gap between him and Deng Huailing. If the little hunter came to question them because of jealousy, he would only be provoked by ParisaDivide.

And Rosie agreed, not because he had confidence in this relationship and believed that Deng Huailing would not misunderstand; on the contrary, he just felt... like a piece of broken jade that does not need protection, the relationship between him and Deng HuailingNo more cracks anymore.

The crowd in front of them staggered for a moment, and when they dispersed again, Rosie saw Su Qing dancing in Deng Huailing's arms. The girl smiled like a flower, and the white magnolia embroidered on the cheongsam was particularly fresh in the luxurious atmosphere.

He couldn't help but glanced at Su Qing again, for some reason, the way she talked to Deng Huailing was still lingering in his mind.Su Qing's reaction made Rosie feel that it was against harmony, but she couldn't clearly point out what was strange.

Is it because of the illusion caused by jealousy?Rosie was thinking blankly, her eyes followed the footsteps of Deng Huailing and Su Qing, and suddenly the hand holding his shoulder blades tightened. Parisa said displeasedly:

"Look at me."

Rosie was still distracted. Hearing this, she turned her gaze back, and asked the other party while thinking: "Parisa, if you made a violin and gave it to your best friend as a wedding present, but after a while, youHow would you feel if someone other than your friend brought out an identical violin, from the same wood to the carvings?"

Parisa was taken aback for a moment, and didn't immediately understand what he meant, but she still asked cooperatively, "Is that person my friend's marriage partner?"

"Of course not," Rosie said.

"Then, I will ask that person why the gift I gave to my friend fell into his hands." Parisa thought for a while, "It is impossible for such a handmade thing to have an exact replica in the world.The other party must have taken the violin from my friend."

"That's it," Rosie murmured, "Normal people would ask this question, but why didn't Su Qing ask? Cecina and his wife have been married long ago, and the black ring has been given away, so she should have the black ring for Huailing.It's amazing..."

Parisa looked at Rosie talking to herself, vaguely guessing what the other person was thinking, and was about to answer, when a look of pain suddenly appeared on her handsome face.Rosie unconsciously pinched him on the shoulder, lowered her voice and said quickly:

"I see, the black ring is probably a wedding gift for Cesina and her little lover! At the time when Cesina just met Dashawn, the black ring hadn't been made yet, so Su Qing wouldn'tI'm surprised...the scandalous news about Cecina is true! She was indeed cheating on her husband, and even entered the palace of marriage with her lover!"

"You..." Parisa endured the pain, and saw Rosie's excited eyes in a blink of an eye, bright light flashed in those usually indifferent eyes, and she didn't complain, "But there is no relevant record in history, from the beginning to the end.She had only one husband in the end. You want to say that Cecina committed bigamy?"

"Just ask Su Qing if she has no impression of the Black Ring, and everything will come to light." Rosie glanced at Deng Huailing again, "After this dance, I have to say hello to Su Qing, but, The most urgent thing is to approach Cesina to see if there is any hidden information. I always feel that to get the brain lock, it is not as simple as collecting all the clues."

Halfway through the dance music, the skirts in the room fluttered like flowers, blooming under the brilliant chandelier.Rosie always stayed two meters away from Cesina, like a cautious cheetah waiting for an opportunity. When she was about to exchange partners, she rushed to snatch Cesina's husband.

The waltz continued, and at last the band gave the hint of an exchange.In an instant, the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed completely. The subtle sounds of bullets being loaded and metal rubbing were mixed in each section. The gentlemen in black dresses held the handles of their guns inside their suits, and the ladies pressed their guns hidden on their chests.sharp edge.

Countless skirts bloom like flowers, exchanging dance partners.

The silver dagger flickered among the flowers, Rosie drew out the butterfly knife, and blocked a blow from a certain woman on the way, the sound of metal clashing melted into the air like shattered ice.Everyone around was twirling rapidly, which was a dance that symbolized death. Almost all of Victor's subordinates crowded in the center of the dance floor, fighting head-on with Parisa's forces.

Every step she took, a silver blade followed behind the blooming skirt, and as the dancing skirt rose and fell, the cold light flickered on and off.The appearance of peace could no longer be maintained, and Rosie had to lift her leg and kick sideways, knocking a gun out of a man's hand, and her skirt slid down to her leg, revealing a row of weapons strapped there.

He pulled out a throwing knife and accurately threw it on the forehead of another person, but someone beside him raised his gun, and the gunshot exploded in the banquet hall, killing one of Parisa's subordinates.

"boom"

The gunshot seemed to be the first ring of the broken window effect. People on both sides couldn't hold back. The gunfire burst out immediately. The real guests fled from the dance floor screaming, leaving only the treasure hunters who snatched the clues.Fight each other.As Robert expected, the forces in the east and west of the second district are indeed killing each other.

However, the object of their struggle - Cecina herself laughed in the melee. She smiled and looked at the group of bloody people, and then the figure flickered and disappeared out of thin air.Only a few people noticed this, and the rest of the soldiers were still immersed in the battle, and they would not stop on their own without further instructions.

"What should we do now?" The killer was almost yelling in the channel, "The group of idiots sent by Victor all know that they can't be forced in the Lost City, and they have to do it..."

"Retreat to avoid unnecessary attrition." Parisa said, "Suppress firepower first and then retreat slowly to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. Wait until they are in a safe zone before spreading out to look for Cesina. She is most likely still in this building."In the villa."

Piper nodded distantly: "Okay, I'll take a team to search the third floor, the killer is in charge of the second floor, and Rosie is... hey, what about the others?"

Parisa smiled lightly: "I probably went to act alone. It doesn't matter, I will be in charge of the area below."

As early as the moment she heard "retreat", Rosie disappeared into the battlefield, cut off the internal communication, and went to chase Su Qing alone—from the perspective of resource scarcity, Su Qing is more important than Cesina, because it isIn the lost city created by Cesina's memory, she herself will appear in different places, but Su Qing may only appear in the banquet hall. Rosie must hurry up to find the girl and verify her guess.

He saw Su Qing pulling Deng Huailing to escape from the corridor on the north side, so he chased along that corridor.The scent of evening primrose lingered as Rosie stepped past one bright window after another, catching up to the two at the end of the corridor.He stopped and looked at Su Qing and Deng Huailing. What made him jealous was that Deng Huailing actually blocked Su Qing from behind, as if he was some kind of viper.

Rosie managed to maintain her sanity, silently thinking about the fact that Su Qing was just a fictional character, and said coldly: "Give her to me."

"There is no clue about her." Deng Huailing frowned, and said equally coldly, "I don't know what you want her to do."

Deng Huailing has not yet reacted to the doubts about the Black Ring.Rosie thought, of course, it may also be because of the other party's lack of intelligence.He wanted to explain his purpose to Deng Huailing, but at the moment he and Deng Huailing were not in the same camp. Leaking information to competitors outside the camp who were also chasing the lock of the brain was a betrayal of Piper and others.

He didn't speak any more, he just grabbed Su Qing's arm, when Deng Huailing suddenly let go of Su Qing, grabbed Rosie's wrist and threw him to the side mercilessly.the wall.

With a burning pain in her back, Rosie took a deep breath to keep herself from exhaling, and then felt the coolness on her neck.A saber slowly moved up along his neck, and the upward movement of the tip forced him to raise his chin and look directly at Deng Huailing.

"Are you going to do something to me?" Luo Xi asked softly.Except for the first encounter between Rosie and Deng Huailing, they have never really fought to the death.He never thought of hurting the other party in the slightest, or even if he wanted to exchange Deng Huailing's life with his life, he would never complain.

"I'm not a puppet in your hands." Deng Huailing's voice was filled with restrained anger, "I will also feel uncomfortable when I hear what you said. Seeing you talking and laughing with others, dancing with others, I willI wish I could kill that man."

The tip of the saber pierced the skin, and a drop of blood fell down Rosie's neck, "You don't want me by your side, so I will listen to you and leave forever. However, please don't interfere with me anymore, not everything related to meYou can manipulate things as you like."

"I'm not your lover anymore, Rosie."
