But none of this had anything to do with Luo Jian He reckoned the ti, he would be dragged into that strange cha Luo Jian i from work early today; he sat down in his rooh the web In reality, he wasn’t conscious of what he was looking at; instead, he carefully recollected the details of his first cha to the boss, the first level all rookies have to pass is fairly si, the chamber will specially prepare a variety of items and props to increase the player’s chance of survival For exa into that un in my hand, then I could’ve shot at his forehead Maybe the situation would’ve been completely different if that were the case”

Luo Jian ht aloud As a matter of fact, he himself was clear on that un in his hand, he figured that he’d never be able to pull the trigger and open fire He sie It didn’t matter if the murderer was dead or alive at the tie to open up Pandora’s Box1

Luo Jian found hiainst the main mast of the shi+p There were no sails on it, only a few scraps of clothes were hung above it, and some decayed ropes were also loosely suspended above it In view of the foreraved on it The helm was used to control the rudder, which in turn, controlled the shi+p’s course

The lone shi+p floated on the surface of the sea Theinto one dark e was nowhere to be found Luo Jian couldn’t help but shi+ver The air was dense and humid, if not merely cold, and he wrapped his ar but a summer outfit, and indeed, this didn’t keep hiht, the note, the note…”Luo Jian blanked out for a moment, then he quickly climbed up to search for the slip of paper Soon, he found that familiar printed note attached to the main s were as elegant as ever:
