C68 (1/2)
Now.
When I saw it was MaggieQ, my whole body relaxed, and MaggieQ withdrew her hand from my nose and mouth, making a silent gesture with her index finger.
I nodded slightly and reached out a hand for her to give me a hand, but MaggieQ ignored me and turned away. Helplessly, I got up and followed her downstairs.
Although the room was so dark that he couldn't see the road clearly, MaggieQ seemed to be very familiar with it. He quickly moved between the random piles of junk and the people lying on the ground, as if he had always lived here.
I followed her downstairs. The first thing I saw was Monkey and Yang Yufan, who were on night watch, sprawled on the ground beside the stove. Startled, I quickly ran over to check.
”They're fine. They just fainted.” MaggieQ coldly said.
I was still worried, so I squatted down to check their breathing. Luckily, their breathing was normal, and there wasn't any expression of pain on their faces. It looked just like they were normally sleeping.
”What are you trying to do?” I could not help but feel a little sulky and impolite when I saw my companions being attacked every day.
”Nothing.” MaggieQ simply replied, ”I just came to warn you to get out of here! Those people will be here soon … However … Anyway, you won't listen, so be it. ” Then she turned and walked out.
I suddenly remembered the yellow-faced man at Ghost Market who stuffed the warning slip of paper into my hands. His figure was exactly the same as MaggieQ who was standing in front of me.
”Wait …”
MaggieQ stopped at the door and looked back at me. The white snow outside shone brightly in the moonlight and covered MaggieQ's face with a layer of milky white light. I was stunned by what I saw.
”What else is there?”
”Ah …” I immediately came back to my senses, awkwardly scratched my head and said: ”That day on the Heaven Stage, I still had to thank you for saving us, and that day at the Ghost Market, the one who warned us was you, right?”
MaggieQ neither admits nor denies that his face is expressionless: ”That's because you saved me twice. After today, we are even! You can stay here and die if you want! ”
I turned my attention back to MaggieQ's warning. Thinking of the well-equipped and well-trained riders, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.
”You mean the people on motorcycles?” Who are they? Why are you chasing after San Tu and the others? ”
”They aren't chasing people, but this thing …” MaggieQ took out something from her bosom and placed it on her hand. She then opened her palm, and the snow shone on it.
”You, you, you … How did you steal the Asura Seal? ” My brain couldn't wrap my head around it so I could only stammer out this sentence.
”Humph!” ”What Asura Seal!” MaggieQ pouted and said in disdain, ”Extremely ignorant!”
There are countless questions running through my head, but I have no way to ask them. I could only stare at her with my mouth wide open.
MaggieQ suddenly smiled as he saw me act this way: ”These things have nothing to do with you. You should quickly leave this place and protect your life.”
”Leave this place?” It's easier said than done. I smiled bitterly and shook my head. We won't be a week out of that door, I'm afraid. ”
