If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

The busy signal of hanging up the phone came from the mobile phone, until the mobile phone screen automatically returned to desktop standby and fell into darkness. Lin Nian's molten red eyes were reflected in the black screen. He took the mobile phone and dialed back the number. Only the message came from the phone. Dictated by a sweet female voice: A reminder that the phone you dialed has been turned off.

"She is indeed alive and well. If nothing happens, she will still be able to live healthily in the future." Shao Nanyin said slowly, "It all depends on your decision, Lin Nian."

Lin Nian put down his phone and looked at her.

"Let me go and stop the hyenas behind you from chasing my tail. This is my condition."

Shao Nanyin's answer was silence, a long silence. Neither Miss Ge nor Willie Weier interrupted at the gambling table, because they knew that they had no place to interrupt at this time, and random declarations of sovereignty would only make things worse.

"Think about Lin Nian." Shao Nanyin said softly, "Since you met 'Shao Nanyin', so many years have passed. Has there been any trouble?"

"Not yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future." Miss Ge whispered, "Living in a world ruled by alien species must be a kind of torture all the time for a proud species like you, right? Real society has already Having formed a pyramid of classes, how can the dragons tolerate the fact that we humans are the ones in control at the top of the pyramid today after returning from a long absence? Sooner or later, you will be unable to bear it, sooner or later."

"Why are you so arbitrary?" Shao Nanyin turned to look at Miss Ge with a frown.

When her expression showed displeasure, Willie Weir's hand had already been placed under the gambling table. The back of Miss Ge's hand, which was slightly trembling because of Lin Nian's molten golden eyes, was as tight as gold and stone, and was beaten by a pure-blood dragon. A glare? The vigorous feeling of approaching battle is like a ball of fiery air swollen under the forcibly contained calm, which may burst out at any time due to a movement.

"I used to think I knew you." Lin Nian spoke. He did not look at Shao Nanyin's face anymore, but looked sideways at the window connecting the outside of the dark hall outside the gaming table.

"I haven't seen many pure-blooded dragons. Most of them are dead, and few of them really spoke a word. So in my world, you are not intellectual animals like the label 'human'. Instead, it’s more like a synonym for ‘enemy’.”

Things like 'enemies' never need to be understood and communicated. They only need to fight, fight, and finally watch their souls turn into dust in the wind.

Just like those bullets splashed with rage and wild roar on the battlefield, they drilled holes in the figures in the retina one by one, representing the medals on the chest after the war, which are honor and victory. But no one will ever tell you that it also means families in another corner of the world are on the verge of collapse one after another.

It is best for an enemy to be just an enemy, nothing else, something pure. When the knife opens the wound, it is best to only have blood flowing out, rather than those blue emotions overflowing with broken bottles.

"But the facts tell me that what I thought was often wrong." He said.

But the truth is always so unsatisfactory. After experiencing so many things, how could Lin Nian regard them as pure labels, the child gazing at the stars, the dragon carcass sleeping in the Yangtze River.

In Baidi City, he asked the white-robed Dragon King, if possible, are you really willing to abandon everything, abandon your race and that great destiny, and hide with Constantine until no one can find him? Do you know where you died?

The king didn't answer him, just looked at him.

That's why he lost his composure at that moment, growling and questioning.

It's just a planted seed, and the seed will sprout sooner or later. Some people don't want to see that day, but that day will come sooner or later. He meets countless people on the road. The more corpses he buries as fertilizer, the more A seed will germinate faster until it grows into a towering tree.

Yes, in the past, maybe he could ignore many less important things, become pure, and quietly become the sharpest knife that everyone expected.

But now, now that he knows a lot of things, he may not be that simple anymore. So he chased for another answer, an answer that could comfort him.

"I heard that dragons are confused for a long time after waking up from the 'cocoon'. They don't know where they came from or where they are going. They are like babies born in this world, starting from scratch to explore all new things around them."

"The habit of living things to gather in groups is natural, so even dragons will unconsciously associate with the cats and dogs around them at first, happy and ignorant. But at some point they will eventually wake up, and from then on From a moment on, they seem to go crazy and eat and kill the small things around them, violent and terrifying."

"But I don't understand, why? Is cruelty and ruthlessness really the dogma of the dragon clan? Are you born to be enemies of humans?"

The boy's voice was a little low and gray, like the feet of a house hanging with cobwebs. He stopped and stared at the darkness and void that he knew no one would clean up.

Miss Ge and Villeville were silent. They tried their best not to remember these rebellious words. Any words spoken by any commissioner would be enough to be sent to the court as long as the evidence was retained. This is a violation of The doubts of the party religion are disloyal to the history of blood and fire between humans and dragons.

Perhaps it is because of this that the school board and the secret party pay so much attention to this boy. Is this what they are afraid of happening, the period of hostility and rebellion among young people? Those minor issues are just conflicts that can be resolved with a little money and manpower.

What really scares the Secret Party is that their thoughts may always go wrong. Once their thoughts take the wrong path, the path of correction that will be filled with flesh and blood is the future that countless people fear and fear.

Shao Nanyin stared at the boy blankly. After a long time, she moved her lips slightly and lowered her head and said, "Maybe the memory of that period is too small? Compared with the majestic experience and past, the short period of life is just Just a moment."

"Is Shao Nanqin just a short moment for you?" He was clearly questioning, but his emotions were so dead, like spoiled food and soup, or stagnant water that no longer flows.

"Maybe." Shao Nanyin whispered while avoiding Lin Nian's eyes.

"I don't know what you dragons are like." Lin Nian said, "But at least we humans live for a certain moment. In that moment, who is good to you, who says something to you , one action you make. Just that one moment is enough to constitute your entire life."

"Don't you think it's a little too persistent and extreme?"

It sounds like a dog. When you call his name and hug him hard, at that moment he will always respond to your call until death. Isn't that what people are like? They always do it for something, a People are stubborn, and when they are paranoid, they are often more stubborn than dogs. They are simply the most unreasonable things in the world.

Shao Nanyin opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything under Lin Nian's peaceful gaze. Her expression became a little loose, but she soon calmed down again. After a while, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing? It makes you look like me." I’m the perpetrator, so I’m obviously the victim, okay?”

Lin Nian was silent. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Lin Nian and breathed out: "I admit, your heartfelt words seem to make sense. I really shouldn't use her as a hostage. If we really want to talk about feelings, we How could the Dragon Clan lose to you humans again? How about we make a bet? This farce will be decided by a single outcome."

"In terms of victory or defeat, you will die." Lin Nian said.

There was no accident. When Lin Nian drew the sword, it was the moment of Shao Nanyin's death. If she had made a 'cocoon' in advance, her soul would have returned to another long sleep, but then the secret party would always take advantage of her. The corpse can come out of the 'cocoon', and then completely imprison her, or kill her in the true sense.

"I can't beat you. I admit that the 'strength' in my bloodline is not my advantage. Compared with my ancestors, I am indeed inferior to you so-called hybrids, so the outcome this time will not be determined by a life-and-death fight." Shao Nanyin paused as he spoke and looked at Willie Vile.

Willie Vail was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, "You want to fight the monster, so why don't you watch me do it?" But after a moment, he understood what Shao Nanyin meant, because he discovered that Shao Nanyin was not looking at himself, but at the pile of poker cards in his hand.

"Texas? Isn't this a bit too much?" Miss Ge whispered subconsciously.

"Child's play?" Shao Nanyin said, "This is a farce to begin with, so what better way to end it than with child's play? Do you really have to see blood to be satisfied?"

"Not really." Miss Ge stopped talking.

End this alien hunt with Texas Hold'em poker? This was a ridiculous plot that the UII team had never experienced before, but now it was unfolding in front of them, especially since it was proposed by dragons who had always been unreasonable and cruel. This made her feel inexplicably weird.

As expected, nothing will go according to the script or plan when the 'S' rank, which is the No. 1 contingency, is present. But fortunately, this time it is developing in a safe and harmonious direction, and one party will not suddenly burst into flames, bloodshed, and so on.

"If I lose all the chips in front of us first, I will tell you Shao Nanqin's location and I will follow you. If you lose all the chips first, don't stop me when I leave here. After I leave, you You will get a complete and worry-free Shao Nanqin." Shao Nanyin said.

"Are you sure?" Lin Nian asked.

"I'm sure." Shao Nanyin casually threw out the cards in his hand.

Lin Nian was quiet for a while, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

Shao Nanyin nodded and looked at Willie Weil. The chips in the pot were divided again in the last sentence on the table, and the playing cards were shuffled again. The originally interrupted Texas game started again, but this time the things being gambled were no longer chips. But something heavier.

Under the gambling table, Su Xiaoqiang, who was watching everything silently in the darkness, frowned slightly at some point. She did not alert Shao Nanyin and Lin Nian, but turned around and left the hall alone. She put on the headset with her right hand and connected to the public channel. .

She wanted to confirm something.
