Chapter 144 The Boy's Aspiration
"Man! Slow down, bro!"
Hughie shouted to Hughie in front of him while running.
Hughie was just an ordinary human being, um...or perhaps an ordinary human being with good physical fitness. So it was impossible for him to catch up with Hughie who had entered a mysterious state.
"Brother, you are too slow. I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, Hughie increased his speed to a higher level again, leaving his brother far behind.
Xiu Gou: I should have said that only children are not lonely! Why do I have such a brother?
Sniff!
In the dark streets,
Hughie's sensitive nose kept twitching, trying to catch any trace of the snake woman from the mixed smell.
"Oh~~~"
“It smells good!”
In his mysterious eyes, the air around him was gray, and only the smell of the snake girl was like a silky pink line, very eye-catching.
Following the pink line...
Heaven on Earth, Beimang branch.
As expected, no matter which city, the flow of people is still so hot.
At the trash can in the back, the demystified Hughie paused.
"How did that perverted girl hide in such a dirty place? She is indeed a pervert!"
As he spoke, he rummaged through the trash can.
“Is it a secret passage disguised as a trash can?”
A moment later, a pair of casually discarded black stockings appeared before his eyes.
That's where the flavor comes from!
"what!?"
"no……"
For a moment, disappointment surged into Hughie's heart like a tide. He stood there blankly, looking lonely and desolate in the dim moonlight.
Several minutes passed and he remained motionless, as if time had stopped at this moment, with only his slightly trembling body.
"What's wrong, bro?"
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.
Hughie slowly raised his head, his eyes full of frustration, "Brother, I only found this discarded black thing, and then the smell of the woman disappeared completely. I...I failed."
at the same time.
Lin En and Li Nuo were moving quickly according to the address provided.
As for the other team members? It seemed useless to follow them, so they only chose Deputy Captain Li who was familiar with the environment of Beimang City.
On the way, Li Nuo started chatting with Lin En.
"Master Plague Doctor, what do you think of Hughie?" Li Nuo's voice broke the silence on the road, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
"Very good, a good seedling."
"Sir, Hughie is not actually a member of the Night's Watch yet... He hasn't participated in the training yet." Li Nuo frowned slightly, with a hint of regret in his tone.
Haven’t participated in the training camp yet?
Lynn: (. ? ? ?.)!
But Lynn still pretended to be calm.
"That means he didn't assign a team, right?" Lin En turned his head slightly and looked at Li Nuo, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.
Li Nuo nodded quickly, quickened his pace to catch up with Lin En, and then said:
"Sir, you also know that he has a super-high-risk forbidden ruins. Our ordinary team is really not suitable for him. Perhaps only a special team can provide him with a broader development space..."
"What's more, I think his admiration for you is deep in his bones. If he can be guided by you, he may be able to find his own direction faster!"
Li Nuo's meaning was very clear.
The breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.
"Tell me, why does he adore me so much?"
Li Nuo took a deep breath, as if he wanted to pour out all the words in his heart.
"Two years ago, when you dealt with Luo Tian Mi Sha, you saved many lives at Yumen Pass. Xu Ji, who was traveling at the time, happened to be among them."
"When Hughie returned home, he unexpectedly awakened the Forbidden Ruins, and then learned that his brother was a night watchman. He learned more about your heroic deeds from his brother... My lord, you know. Boys of this age have an inexplicable yearning for these things."
"I see."
Lynn said softly, a hint of emotion in her voice.
"Sir, Hughie is not only a boy with great potential, but also extremely stubborn. He is eager to follow in your footsteps and become like you!"
Lino's eyes were full of admiration for Hughie.
"In the eyes of young people like Hughie, you are a hero, a beacon of hope for their progress, and a source of motivation for them to uphold justice... (blah blah)..."
At this time, the wind gradually grew stronger, making their clothes rustle!
"Deputy Captain Li, you have to understand that becoming a Night's Watchman is not about becoming a hero in the eyes of others."
"My lord, I understand. But Hughie needs a role model, someone who can guide him to walk firmly on this difficult path, and you are undoubtedly the most suitable one."
Lynn didn't respond immediately. He looked up at the moon in the sky that was half covered by dark clouds.
After a long while, he spoke slowly.
"talk later!"
Li Nuo: What? That means you didn’t refuse!
Hey! Little Hughie, you still have to rely on your Uncle Li!
.........
"How could it be this!!"
Lin En looked at the eye-catching sign of "Heaven on Earth" from afar, and for a moment, he was speechless.
The mastermind behind this was actually me?
"The idol is here!"
In front of the alley, Hughie was jumping with his arms raised high, trying to attract Lynn's attention.
"Hughie, why don't you change your name?" When talking about his idol, Lynn thought of the show he participated in in the Egyptian circle.
"What about the plague doctor?"
"also."
"So, the people from the Ancient God Church are here?"
"No."
Hughie lowered his head again and pushed his cheap brother out.
"Master Epidemic Doctor, how about we talk for a moment?" Xiu Gou's voice trembled slightly.
"why?"
Lynn asked in confusion, frowning.
"Yes, old Gou. What's there to be ashamed of? Is it possible that Hughie's sense of smell is wrong?"
Li Nuo interrupted again.
"That's right... there are too many people here. Sir, you will know when you come over and take a look."
Xiu Gou looked a little anxious, and without saying anything, he pulled Lin En and others into a dark alley.
The alley was filled with the unique smell of foot baths - foot washing water mixed with special medicinal baths.
The faint moonlight barely illuminated their figures. Xiu Gou's hands trembled as he slowly took something out of his backpack.
It was a black silk thread with holes in it.
Lynn: ………
"My Lord, this is the source of the smell Hughie smelled."
"call--!"
“Forget it, now that we’re here…” Lin En sighed softly, “Come in and sit down!”
(ps: ?(??? ?)? I’m thinking about the male/female protagonist again and again!)
