The hot air slowly dissipated from the room, splashing on the faces of the stunned attendants, they blinked their eyes in a trance, and their gazes slowly fell into the room, only licking their own lips leisurely. animal's body.
"Can we..." The attendants couldn't help approaching the warm room, "?"
The sacrifice subconsciously blocked them, rolled up the bathrobe, took a look at the sacrifice's dirty shoes, and the expression on his face became resistance and embarrassment: "... What's the matter, can you just talk outside?"
The attendants looked at the sacrifice in disbelief, and the breath of the animal in their arms gradually weakened.
Cang Tai shivered and stood outside the door holding the black cat that seemed to be motionless, watching the sacrifices being chased away one after another, and trembling when he raised his hand to knock on the door. Several times before I was about to take pictures, I was stuck in mid-air.
...Will Bai Liu, who is rumored to be able to torture and kill animals at will, really take him in?
Cang Tai hugged the black cat in his arms tightly, he swallowed nervously, closed his eyes and was finally ready to clap his hands.
The paper door opened automatically, and inside was a white willow wearing a loose white bathrobe and dripping water at the end of his hair. The neckline of his robe was slightly open, and he could see a pendant of a coin hanging on his fair chest.
Bai Liu's clean and indifferent eyebrows and eyes were entangled in the steam that evaporated from his body, giving him an indistinct sense of alienation, and his tone of voice was ordinary and flat, as if he had talked about the Cang Taihui a long time ago, and now his door :
"You have been standing at our door for almost ten minutes, what's the matter?"
Bai Liu is holding a white cat with silver-blue eyes and long white hair in his hands. The bell around his neck has been untied, and he is nestling in Bai Liu's arms curiously, looking at Cang Tai with his head tilted. , Stretched out his head and let out a mitter, and stretched out his paws to grab the still black cat in Cangtai's arms.
But Bai Liu didn't stop this action, he allowed his pet to be intimate with Cang Tai.
Cang Tai didn't know why, so he slackened all of a sudden, knelt down on the white willow bed with limp knees, and burst into tears: "Please, help [Cang Tai]."
Bai Liu lowered her eyes: "I don't do worthless things, what can you bring me?"
Cang Tai grasped the corner of Bai Liu's robe firmly as if seeing hope, his eyes were flushed: "...as long as you are willing to save [Cang Tai] now, I will be the most useful attendant to you in the future , will never betray you!"
Bai Liu was silent for a second, then he raised his eyes, his pupils were dark: "The deal is established."
Thirty minutes later, Cang Tai, who was brought in and washed, was sitting on the tatami of the white willow with a dull face, next to a black cat that was also washed clean and was eating hard, with a fluffy tail You can see it all the way up...
It really doesn't look outside.
Bai Liu's eyes withdrew from the black tail, and fell on the white cat who was sitting dignifiedly and gracefully next to him.
The white cat leaned on Bai Liu's body, raised its head and meowed, rubbed against Bai Liu, and then curled up next to Bai Liu's legs to sleep, very well-behaved and decent.
... This regular schedule reminds Bai Liu of Xie.
And the other black cat looked dying after eating and drinking, and ran around Bai Liu crazily, like a dog, and would actively jump into Bai Liu's arms to squeeze the other white cat away. He jumped up and licked Bai Liu's nose, and even twisted his butt on the ground to chase Bai Liu's robe corner.
In short, it is very similar to a certain lizard.
A black cat and a white cat, their appearance and habits are still so similar.
In the game, Bai Liu never believed in chance. If he guessed correctly, this should be the evil intention of a certain evil god game designer.
Bai Liu lowered her eyes and looked at the two cats, one on the left and one on the right, sleeping soundly on her knees. The white cat huddled into a ball and pillowed in Bai Liu's palm, and the black cat was sleeping on its back, bloated from eating. The belly is bulging and bulging, and you can still hear the sound of gurgling in the throat.
Cang Tai was still a little embarrassed that his black cat was so lively, and wanted to take the black cat back, but when he raised his head, he froze.
He saw that Bai Liu, who was rumored to torture and kill animals, calmly stroked the heads of the two kittens with the back of his hand, and did not move the two kittens who were sleeping next to him, but He raised his head and said calmly, "It's late, go to sleep."
Cang Tai let out a dumbfounded groan, he slept on the extra tatami mat Bailiu gave him, and two cats slept next to Bailiu's pillow, like patron saints Inseparable.
Under the protection of these two "guardian gods", Bai Liu quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Cang Tai thought that he would sleep very restlessly tonight, but he soon started to fight with his eyelids, hiccupped, and fell into a deep sleep.
the next day.
Cang Tai had a good night's sleep, and by the time he got up, Bai Liu had already changed his clothes.
Bai Liu's clothes consisted of a black coat with a long white inner lining and a crane cloud pattern on the neckline, while his own was a relatively low-key gray attendant coat.
When they got dressed and walked out of the room, Cang Tai saw many attendants with red eyes standing on the central open-air square, drenched in the rain all night. Looking at animals that had bowed their heads, their hair was matted, and their bodies had been stiff for a long time, while they stared at the opposite room.
The sacrifices were walking from the room one after another, they paused when they noticed the other sacrifices, and then avoided them as if they were avoiding seeing the group of attendants. People's eyes, quickly leave, gather together and discuss loudly:
"The servants they choose themselves, the servants should do the work of the servants."
"Why do you want me to allocate a room for them to live in? It's just enough for me to live in. It's not the biggest room, and it's not like they don't have a place to live in?"
"Yes, yes, and I don't know what disease their dogs and cats have. What if they let go and infect my cat? It looks like they are sick..."
"I also want to suffer for the place where I live, why should I give them this servant to live for no reason?"
"...too crazy, why don't you go back to your place and stand outside my door all night?"
Cang Tai paused when he heard this complaint.
He knew what kind of clear and terrifying concept appeared in everyone, and he couldn't help but think of the food chain theory that Bai Liu told him on the boat yesterday.
【People who enter the food chain of desire will lose the ability to empathize. 】
[In their eyes, there are only prey inferior to them and predators superior to them. 】
Cang Tai subconsciously looked at Bai Liu who was standing next to him, the expression on Bai Liu's face was still calm, as if he had expected this step a long time ago.
After breakfast, all the sacrifices and attendants were taken to the door of the houseboat. The weather was fine today, the sun was hot, and the attendants held up black umbrellas for the sacrifices. Most of the attendants were expressionless .
Today, the leader of the team is still Mifune, but judging from Mifune's expression, he is not happy leading the team:
"Today I'll take you to the Beiyuan family. They were the family with the highest taxpayer in Luming County last year. You have to check out the family first for them to choose."
"After noon, you will continue to meet the Mifune family, which is my main family, the family with the highest tax payment in Luming County in 2010."
"...Today you are going to participate in the eight major families. If you are lucky enough to be selected by a family, you will be named by the other party's surname and become a member of the other family. You can even move out of the houseboat and enjoy A higher level of treatment."
Yufune's face was gloomy, and he twitched the corner of his mouth with a half-smile: "Now let's go to Beiyuan's house."
The moment Yu Chuan said these words, Bai Liu heard a clear system prompt in his ear:
[System prompt: Player Bailiu unlocked the side plot task - to obtain the shrine key in the hands of the Patriarch Beiyuan. 】
[The body of the old evil god was imprisoned behind the shrine on the mountain, where he was suspended and slept every day, listening to the pain of everyone. Only the most painful soul could make him open his eyes and watch the sacrifice that was mad because of pain. Taste. 】
[Player Bailiu, please steal the key to the shrine where the body of the old evil god is imprisoned, and let the old evil god open your eyes for you. 】
Bai Liu lowered her eyelashes.
Cang Tai held a black umbrella to cover the white willow, he glanced at the white willow that was almost transparent under the sun, almost in a daze - this was the first time he was so close under such strong light Observe the appearance of Bai Liu.
"Judging from what you and I said yesterday combined with Mifune's reaction today, Beiyuan and Mifune's family have a competitive conflict." Bai Liu turned his face to look at Sota, and lowered his voice very softly, as if whispering, "Yes ?"
Cang Tai was taken aback for a moment, before stammeringly replied: "Yes, it should be."
"If I want to be selected by the Beiyuan family." Bai Liuruo asked, "What should I do?"
After a while, Cang Tai scratched his head, and whispered into Bai Liu's ear, "You shouldn't have to worry about whether the Beiyuan family will choose you."
"The big family will choose high-quality sacrifices. You are the most beautiful child in this batch of sacrifices. The Beiyuan family will definitely choose you."
