Doomsday Totem

Chapter 36 Partner
"Go back and pack your things, ready to leave at any time." After leaving the spare parts market, Iron Slag said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Sand City to hide for a while."

The old cow nodded silently.After a while, he sighed deeply, and said with shame on his face, "Brother, I'm impulsive."

"The world is so big, I want to go out for a walk." Tie Slag grinned, quoting a famous ancient saying.The old cow nodded vigorously again.He knows that his brother will always understand him and will always stand by his side!
Ye Xinling listened to the conversation between the two brothers, but felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavored bottle.She was a little confused, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.These two crazy people dared to attack the Yincheng garrison, that would be a serious crime for everyone involved.Also, she can't go back to Sand City, and she can't let the Blackstone Mercenary Group know that she is still alive.If they knew that she left the mercenary group without authorization, they would embarrass her parents and younger brother, which was something she would never allow to happen.

but……

She raised her head to look at Tie Slag, the boy in front of her was a real iron-blooded man.He is strong, stable, and passionate, and he is worth following for a lifetime.It's just that he is still a little young and needs time to grow up.He is like a young eagle, as long as his wings are plump, he can soar into the sky and roam the sky from now on.Compared to him, that leader of the Black Stone is like a worthless waste.

"Xin Ling wants to follow you forever, but the premise is that I can't hurt my parents and younger brother. ' Ye Xinling said in her heart.While thinking about things, she followed the iron slag.Before she knew it, she was out on the street.

At this time, there was a commotion in the street.She looked up and saw that many people were lining up, chatting in twos and threes.They all had expectant expressions on their faces, occasionally looking at the nuns who were distributing bread.

"By the way, I want to take a picture."

Tie Slag, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and said to Ye Xinling.When he saw the donation team just now, he remembered the matter of taking pictures.

"Master, those two people are with these people." Ye Xinling reminded.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing." Lao Niu persuaded.

"It's okay, it's just a matter of a few minutes. And today is the day of giving, and the Rain God doesn't want to see conflicts and contradictions." Tie Slag said as he walked towards the place where the nuns were most dense.His eyes were particularly sharp, and he quickly spotted the target of the photo - a girl in a light blue priest's uniform.

When he approached the girl, several Yincheng soldiers surrounded him and looked at him warily.Iron Slag raised his hands, indicating that there was no weapon in his hands, and then showed a harmless smile.However, the real murderous aura on his body could not be concealed.

"I have no malice, I just want to take a photo for the priest."

"Go away!" A Yincheng soldier cursed, and at the same time he raised the submachine gun in his hand, and naturally pulled his finger on the trigger.The young man in front of him had a dangerous aura, and he instinctively felt that he couldn't let him get close.

"I want to accept the rain god's blessing." Tie Slag said devoutly.However, his pious expression became more dangerous in the eyes of the soldiers.

"Go over there and line up!" the soldier shouted.

Tie Slag frowned, and sternly shouted back, "You treat the Rain God's followers with such an attitude! Don't you fear the Rain God's divine punishment!"

"I..." The soldier was so frightened by Tie Slag's sudden shout, that he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, the priestess who was standing not far away came straight over, and she asked the soldier lightly, "What's going on?"

"This... this person..." Facing the serious priest, the soldier felt very nervous and even stuttered.

"Goddess, I want to take a picture of you." Tie Slag took out a card camera from his pocket while talking.

Priestess turned to look at Tie Slag, and then asked blankly, "You call me... Goddess?"

"Yes, they call you Goddess." After Tie Slag answered, he raised his camera and was about to press the shutter, but found that the priestess in the camera had a straight face, with an extremely cold expression.So he subconsciously shouted, "Come on, have a laugh."

This sentence is especially like what a client says to a prostitute, and the meaning of frivolity is very obvious.When the soldiers guarding the side heard these words, they were frightened half to death, thinking that this man was finished.

"Please leave immediately." Priestess said coldly.

Tie Slag pressed the shutter, imprinting the girl's beautiful face on the camera.Although her expression is a bit cold, she is still very beautiful, maybe this is where her charm lies.After taking the photo, Tie Slag grinned at Priestess, said "Thank you," then turned and left.

"Wait...wait." Priestess suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?" Tie Slag turned his head and found that Priestess was staring at him with wide eyes, as if there was something on his face.Feeling a little baffled, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The priestess didn't answer, just stared at him straightly, those big watery eyes seemed to hide the galaxy universe, as if they wanted to suck people's souls in.

Tie Slag felt a little terrified when she saw it, and he scratched his hair involuntarily.

After a while...

Priestess finally came to her senses, and asked uncertainly, "You...are you iron slag?"

Tie Slag nodded his head as an answer, the Priestess hesitated for a while, and then asked, "How do you prove it?"

When Tie Slag heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, thinking that people in Silver City like to let others prove their identities.However, it was very simple for him to prove his identity in Iron Mountain Town.So he approached the line of blessings with the Priestess.

When the Priestess approached, there was an uproar in the queue.People rushed to watch the legendary goddess.Tie Slag casually pulled a strong man in the queue and asked, "Who am I?"

The strong man who was pulled over by Iron Slag was a member of the Black Fang Society, of course he knew Iron Slag.However, when he heard that Tie Slag killed the Black Bears, he first asked, "Who am I?" It is said that when Tie Slag asked this question, he was usually about to kill people.Thinking of this, the strong man was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he stammered, "I...I don't know."

Tie Slag was dumbfounded for a moment, and then asked again with a ferocious face, "Who am I?"

"Brother...Brother, I really don't know." The strong man replied tremblingly.

"Okay, don't make it difficult for him." Priestess stopped him.Then she stared at Iron Slag and said, "Forcing others to know you like this won't serve as proof."

Iron Slag frowned, crossed his hands on his chest, and said on his face, "What do you want?"

Priestess looked at Tie Slag's helpless expression, and suddenly, she smiled without warning.Her smile is like a poppy flower that blooms in an instant, so beautiful that it makes people palpitate and sinks.Even a determined person like Tie Slag almost fell into the sea of ​​flowers the moment her smile bloomed.

"However... your arrogance has proved your identity, you are iron slag." Priestess said confidently.Then she continued with the astonishment on Tie Slag's face, "You were very arrogant when you were young."

"You know me? What's your name?" Tie Slag touched his forehead and then scratched his hair. He had no impression of the girl in front of him at all.

"When you were young, you liked to fight with children on the street, eat brown candy, and go to bars to listen to travelers tell stories, and you also liked..." Priestess said to herself.For a moment, she seemed to be caught in memories...

Ten years later, I didn't expect him to be alive.

I never expected to see him again...

Thank you for the grace of the rain god, thank God for his mercy, and thank the gods for notarization.

How is he?Does he have something to eat?Can he survive?

It's winter...

Is he cold?
In the past ten years, beside the warm stove, in the quiet library, and in the majestic temple, she always thought of these questions and thought of him...

"Who are you?" Tie Slag interrupted her talking to herself.

Priestess smiled, and then just quietly looked into his eyes, as if she could never get enough of it.

Tie Slag was about to go crazy after seeing her, so he raised his voice and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

"Your temper is still so impatient~" Priestess pursed her lips and said.

"I'm leaving!" Tie Slag said impatiently, making a gesture to leave.In fact, he didn't want to leave, he really wanted to know who she was?

"Mu Yuling Lan."

Tie Slag thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Priestess looked at him with a smile on her face, then stretched out two jade-like fingers, put them on the willow eyebrows and waved forward, and said, "Report sir, the fuel has been filled up, we can set off."

Her words, like an ancient key, opened the dusty memory...

Many years ago, a little girl and her mother came to Iron Mountain Town.They are all homeless people living on the corner of the main street.The little girl's name is Xiao Yu, and her age is similar to Tie Slag's, only one year apart.Iron slag back then were just as unwelcome as they are now.His character back then was even more withdrawn than now, and he was particularly fierce in fights, so the children on the street were unwilling to play with him.

At the same time, the children on the street were unwilling to play with Xiaoyu, because their family members said that Xiaoyu's mother had an infectious disease and would infect them.By chance, Tie Slag helped the little girl beat the bad boy who bullied her (in fact, he scared him away), and then they got to know each other.

Over time, they became inseparable companions.They picked up trash together, bought snacks together, and played games together.The game they often played at that time was officers and soldiers.In the game, Iron Slag will always be an officer, while the little girl may be a soldier, or a messenger, or a logistics soldier, a machine repair soldier, and so on.In short, she was every soldier except an officer.For example, when the officer needs to refuel, she is the machine repair soldier, and when the officer needs to charge, she is the stormtrooper.However, this is only in the game.In normal times, Tie Slag basically took the lead in protecting her.

The two little friends spent a happy time like this.But the good times didn't last long, and Xiao Yu's mother seemed to be suffering from a disease that would cause her whole body to fester.Her originally beautiful face gradually turned into a paste.Once a beautiful woman like her got this disease, she would immediately think of suicide.But for the sake of the young Xiaoyu, she could only grit her teeth and linger on.

Until one day, she finally couldn't hold on anymore and closed her eyes forever, and Xiao Yu became an orphan at that moment.

Xiao Yu will remember that day all her life, she pushed and pushed her mother's body in the cold north wind, but she didn't get the slightest response.Her heart was full of despair and grief, in a state of ignorance, Tie Slag carried her back home, knelt on the ground and begged Old Man Tie to take her in.

At that time, Old Man Tie was also sick and very weak, but he still agreed to Tie Slag's request.But within a few days, Old Man Tie took advantage of Tie Slag to go out and said to her, "Xiao Yu, Old Man Tie is sorry for you, Old Man Tie can't support you. Tie Slag is still too young now, and he doesn't even know if he can survive." Go down. So please leave, he can't bear your weight."

It wasn't until many years later that Xiao Yu realized that Old Man Tie had already run out of lamps and was about to pass away soon.These words were almost the last words of Old Man Tie.

After Old Man Tie said these words to her, he took her to Tieshan Town, hoping to sell her to a merchant who could support her.

That day, perhaps because of the blessing of the God of Rain, or perhaps because of fate, the convoy of the Temple of Prayer for Rain happened to pass by Tieshan Town.The old iron man recognized the identity of the convoy at a glance.He frantically blocked in front of the convoy and stopped the vehicle with his life, leaving her standing alone on the street.

At that moment, her desperate emotions were like a wild horse that was out of control, and suddenly smashed her heart!In an instant, she felt a violent force pouring into her body.At the same time, her eyes had a slight blue light.

After the car accident, the priest praying for rain got out of the car and prayed for the old man Tie.During the period, Priest Praying for Rain glanced at Xiao Yu who was standing beside Old Man Tie.However, just this one glance completely changed her fate.

Priest Qi Yu felt surging spiritual energy in her body.That psychic power is like a sea in a storm that creates huge waves, and that awe-inspiring aura seems to destroy everything...

In the end, Priest Qi Yu took her in and gave her a new name—Mu Yu Ling Lan.
