Chapter 152
The chaotic battle ended because of the sudden intrusion of a group of black-clad soldiers. Yue Wei, who was already on the verge of collapse, fell to the ground almost immediately, but A-Xia, who was held tightly in his arms, was unharmed.
——Whatever.
Yue Wei thought almost desperately.
With just the two of them, it was difficult to deal with the thugs at the auction house, not to mention these fully armed and well-trained human warriors. But... no matter what... even if he killed Axia, he couldn't let this child fall into the hands of those beasts and become a plaything.
Thinking of this, Yue Wei stood up shakily again, clenched a dagger in his hand that he had snatched from someone in the chaos, and looked fiercely at the soldiers in black uniforms.
However, the soldiers ignored them who were at the center of the chaos.
Yue Wei was shocked to see that the soldiers were like ferocious tigers and wolves pinning all the people in the auction house to the ground. Anyone who resisted was beaten severely, and sometimes someone was shot dead. Even the big shots around who were dressed in luxurious clothes and looked like they had extraordinary status were mercilessly arrested. Some people screamed, some ran away, and some shouted "My father is Minister XXX", but they were all treated in the same way.
The three of them who were still standing on the platform seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, leaving Yue Wei, who was ready to take action, at a loss as to what to do.
Mu Xiaohu, who was originally very nervous, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly relaxed. He even stretched his neck eagerly, as if looking for someone. Seeing Yue Wei's apprehensive face, he smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken... Well, it should be someone I know who came, and he will definitely not hurt us."
Yue Wei looked at the boy with ordinary looks but a bright smile. Although he didn't know his identity, he felt that he could trust him for no reason... This person should be different from the waiter, right?
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who... who are you? Why did you save me?"
Mu Xiaohu laughed and said, "Do I need a reason to help the weak? My name is Mu Xiaohu, what's your name?"
"...Yue Wei." Yue Wei said softly: "This is my sister, A-Xia."
"Hello, A-Xia. Oh, by the way!" Mu Xiaohu suddenly remembered something, reached into his pockets, and finally took out a few colorful candies, handed them to A-Xia and said, "This is for you, it's very sweet! I brought it from... um... from a very far place."
A-Xia took the candy in her hand but didn't eat it. Instead, she looked at the beautiful colors and patterns, which seemed very novel. Then, she held the candy in both hands and stuffed it to Yue Wei, saying, "It's delicious...brother...brother, eat it."
At this time, Mu Xiaohu saw a thin figure walking in from the door, waving his hands happily and shouting: "Brother Lin! Brother Lin!"
Seeing Lin Qingsi with all his limbs intact and no injuries, walking in safely from the door, Mu Xiaohu was overjoyed to think that the most important purpose of his trip had finally been achieved. Seeing Lin Qingsi, who was actually a stranger to him, now felt extremely friendly.
Lin Qingsi looked up at him, feeling somewhat speechless.
He had seen Mu Xiaohu in disguise from the surveillance video before, and was thinking about how to expose his identity, but he didn't need to test anything at all, as Mu Xiaohu jumped out as soon as he showed up. And...Brother Lin?
When did they become so close?
However, on the surface, Lin Qingsi did not show any abnormality, as if he had long allowed Mu Xiaohu to call him that, and nodded slightly, and then listened to the person in charge around him reporting the results of the arrest. Because of his attitude, many of the cold-faced soldiers around secretly looked at Mu Xiaohu from the corner of their eyes, speculating in their hearts about his relationship with their superiors.
Mu Xiaohu calmed down, patted Yue Wei on the shoulder, and said carelessly: "Look, it's okay."
Yue Wei also felt relieved. Although these people were all from the Celestial Race, he felt that they were more trustworthy than his own kind. He thought for a moment and said to Mu Xiaohu, "I... I want to see someone. I wonder if you can talk to these people?"
A group of people in white uniforms knelt together, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their silver-white masks had been torn off and thrown aside. Many of them were still covered in blood because of their previous resistance. But they looked very calm, as if they were not covered in bruises and being pointed at by guns, but sitting on the sofa in their own living room. Some of them even had bright smiles on their faces. This scene was so creepy that it made people feel creepy.
Yue Wei found the messenger who had promised to help him. One of his legs was shot and he had to kneel half-leaning against the wall. Under the mask was a handsome face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked like the chivalrous, righteous and passionate young knight in the legend. Who knew that he could betray and frame others without changing his expression?
He saw that Yue Wei didn't look guilty at all, but instead seemed a little regretful, and even said with some blame: "Are you okay? Are these people here to help you?"
Yue Wei looked at him for a moment and asked in a hoarse voice: "...Why?"
The messenger asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Why did you betray me? If you didn't intend to help me, why didn't you make it clear from the beginning? Were all the things you told me... all false?"
He still remembered that he had chased the Bi people who had captured Axia all the way to the capital, sleeping in the open air, suffering from hunger and cold, and he had suffered some injuries that had not healed yet. When he tracked them to this place, he suddenly fainted. It was this person who picked him up, fed him, and applied medicine to him. After hearing about his story, he took the initiative to help him without hesitation.
It was he who once vowed to take revenge on humanity, it was he who wanted to save his nephew with all his love, but it was also he who suddenly turned against them and almost pushed himself and Asha into hell.
Yue Wei didn't know which of his words were true and which were false. He wanted to ask for an answer, but he didn't know what kind of answer he expected.
The messenger heard his words and smiled slightly, as if laughing at his stupidity.
"Of course it's fake." He said with a faint smile on his face: "Those words are just to gain your trust. As long as the master needs me, I am willing to give him my life. How could I betray him? But you really shouldn't do this."
"What about your nephew?" Yue Wei lowered his voice angrily and said, "That child... that child looks so much like you. Even if he is not your relative, he must be from the same clan as you! You just watched him fall into the hands of those people? Did you really never think about rescuing him?"
A trace of struggle flashed across the messenger's face, but then his expression became firm again. He said, "It is the supreme honor and happiness to be a slave of the master and other great figures of the Celestial Race. I won't let you take him away for his own good! Not only him, but also you, I really care about you and want to help you! Don't resist your fate so much. Believe me, becoming a slave is not as terrible as you think. The master will treat you very well, and this is the only way for us to gain happiness and liberation! I sincerely hope that you can become our companion, and hope that you can also be happy!"
Looking at the almost illusory smile on his face, and then looking at the almost identical smiles of the other messengers, Yue Wei felt like he was going crazy! His hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his lips stammered, as if he wanted to say something, but after seeing the smiles on the faces of the messengers and others, Yue Wei knew that it would be in vain for him to say anything more. The true selves of these people were completely dead, and what he saw in front of him were just a group of breathing puppets!
——Come to think of it, if the auction was not completely sure of controlling these people, how could it allow these dangerous species that can disembowel humans with just their bare hands to get in close contact with those nobles?
only……
After leaving the wasteland, Yue Wei thought he had seen all the evil and misery in the world, and that the people living in sewers and garbage dumps were the worst of all the alien races. But now he realized that these beautiful people in front of him, who seemed to have very good living conditions, were the biggest tragedy in the world.
Yue Wei didn't want to say anything more, he picked up A Xia and turned to leave. Mu Xiaohu, who was talking to Lin Qingsi, saw him and quickly turned around and followed.
"Yue Wei, Yue Wei, where are you going?" Mu Xiaohu shouted from a distance.
Yue Wei turned around and looked at him, and said coldly: "Can't I leave? Do you want to make me a slave too?"
Many of the busy soldiers around looked over with grim eyes.
"Ah?" Mu Xiaohu was stunned, scratched his hair and said, "No! But it's very chaotic outside now, where are you going with Axia?"
"I……"
Yue Wei wanted to say in a tough tone that it was none of his business, but Axia's soft little body was held in his arms. He could sleep in the open air, be exposed to the rain and sun, and fight with bad guys. If Axia was hurt in any way, he would want to kill himself.
The boy was speechless, his mouth was tight. Because of what happened to those messengers, he was full of hatred for all human beings, and even took his anger out on the boy in front of him. But at the same time, his reason made him understand that his behavior was not right. The boy had indeed been kind to him since they met. He could stand here safely and walk freely instead of being caught by those black-clad soldiers because of the boy's kindness to him .
After a moment of awkward silence, Mu Xiaohu seemed to have understood and apologized, "I'm sorry! Humans have done such terrible things to aliens. You must be very sad and angry now, right? I didn't think of this just now. I'm so sorry!"
Yue Wei pursed his lips and remained silent. Perhaps because he had no confidence, he defended his dignity and pride even more, and was unwilling to show any weakness even though he felt guilty.
"Brother Lin said that anyone who did something wrong must pay the price. He also promised to find a way to find all the children sold at the auction house and return them to their parents. So even if you hate other humans, you can trust Brother Lin and the others . Stay here for now, and when the situation stabilizes, take A-Xia back."
Mu Xiaohu said sincerely. Although he knew in his heart that Lin Qingsi must not have made such a promise simply for reasons of justice, but even if he had other calculations, what would it matter? Many people who had suffered in the past could benefit from this process. In Mu Xiaohu's opinion, this was the most important thing.
After hesitating for a while, Yue Wei finally nodded and agreed.
