Glover's steps were steady, but he said nothing. He turned a deaf ear to everything around him and moved forward as if the most important thing in his life was to walk in silence.

No, it's not just him, Rolf, Kathleen, Slimani... they all move forward like zombies, paying no attention to the things around them.

Even though the white smoke in front of me has escalated into a thick fog, blocking the sky and making it difficult to see where it is going.

"Yes," Hilley said coldly, "Now that the deal is completed, you can get out."

"Hey, don't follow the tricks of the temple," the voice was lazy and shrewd, "It's not easy to meet each other, catch up on old times, and have a chat, isn't it?"

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

"that's all?"

"That's it!" Heeley refused with a firm attitude.

"Really?" The voice suddenly dropped in tone, and even Thales shuddered, "My lovely six-fingered girl, don't you think about it anymore?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Stop pretending, dear," the terrifying voice trailed off, "According to the deal, you walked out of the sewer safely, with your body intact and your soul intact... But me, where is my reward?"

Hilley was silent for a moment.

"That Lausanne II just now, he is your reward," Hilley's voice was trembling slightly. "His soul, life, flesh and blood, consciousness, wisdom, belief, memory, experience, knowledge, personality, or whatever else you want

You can take whatever hard currency you like, no need to be polite."

Thales thought suddenly.

He instantly realized: What Hilley was speaking now was not lingua franca.

Not any other language, at least not one that Thales could recognize.

But...

"Look, dear, you have made the mistake of taking it for granted again. The fairness of a contract is not only written on paper, but also verbal..."

The voice was friendly and authentic, like a defense attorney accepting client consultations in a friendly manner:

"It's more in the heart."

The next second, it spoke patiently and calmly, word by word, but Thales became even more flustered:

"My dear Cecilia Regina Bella Cavendier, do you really feel that you invited or urged me to come up to the mortal world and let me endure the pain of crossing boundaries and obstacles, and endure the turbid world?"

Air, risking being discovered, expending energy and physical strength to help you block the knife and eliminate disaster, and then you take that extreme enemy as a reward and let me go back and forth from wherever you are. Do you really think that this is

A fair and equitable transaction?”

"Then..." Xi Lai paused and then said confidently, "That's right!"

At that moment, even though he couldn't look back, Thales could almost see the indifferent, domineering expression of "what can you do to me" that he often saw on Hilley's face.

Even that terrible sound stopped for a second.

"Hahahahaha!"

It burst out into a shocking laugh, rising and falling, causing the surrounding thick fog to fluctuate:

"I just like your rogue look! Every time, every time you kill more people!"

Hilley spoke for a moment.

"Shut your stinky mouth," when she spoke again, Thales could hear the anger from gritted teeth, "go back to where you came from!"

"Ah, ruthless partners," it said without any sullenness and seemed to be used to it, "It doesn't matter, you have to do it personally when it comes to collecting debts."

"I didn't reward you, and I don't owe you anything! Because you made things worse!" Xi Lai gasped, and her reply was a little out of control.

"But that's not a reward, it's the payment I deserve." It said slowly and unhurriedly.

Thales listened for a while, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat: it was the Sin of the Hell River rumbling.

He suddenly reacted: What is going on?

Heeley, Heeley, what did she do?

That voice...

what happened?

what happened?

what happened?

"what happened!"

Thales couldn't help but said:

"What's this?"

He turned around suddenly and shouted:

"He...what is it?"

But the moment the words came out of his mouth, Thales was shocked and immediately realized: he succeeded.

He successfully moved.

Has he turned around?

The air became quiet.

The surroundings were shrouded in white mist, making everything a few feet away blurry and visibility extremely low.

Behind Thales, Hilley looked at Thales who turned around in shock, his face turned pale with fright.

"You...are you okay? Are you awake?" Heilai said blankly.

It seemed like she discovered for the first time that there was another person here named Thales.

but.

Only her.

Thales looked at Shilai blankly: there was only her behind him.

There was no second person - everyone else was focused on walking, like zombies.

That was just...

"Yeah, yeah, now it's interesting."

At that moment, Thales had countless goosebumps all over his body!

Because the sound came from behind.

Behind his...ears?

Thales subconsciously wanted to turn around, but Xilai held his face in his hands!

"No, don't look at it!"

Hilley had a look of fear on his face and shouted anxiously:

"Stay awake, don't look at it, don't think about it, treat it like a dream, it can't-"

But her voice disappeared instantly, leaving only her lips moving up and down.

It was as if it had been suddenly silenced.

Hilley also realized this. She looked behind Thales, her eyes wide and her mouth wide, terrified.

"Look, dear Cecilia, I told you earlier..." the voice sounded softly, surprised and happy.

At that moment, Thales' nerves tightened and his whole body felt weak!

He felt it.

There was a cold touch on his neck.

is it.

Something gently hooked Thales' neck, like a mother caressing her son - "it" touched, rubbed, and caressed.

Xi Lai's eyes were filled with fear, his expression was anxious, and he shook his head subconsciously.

No, no, no!

Her eyes were sparkling, and tears even oozed from the corners of her eyes.

But all he could hear was a low and ominous laughter.

"Hehehehe..."

The being spoke again, but this time, Thales could feel that "its" words were filled with unimaginable malice:
Chapter completed!
