Chapter 22 The Story
Ye Su suddenly retreated, widened the distance, and avoided the opponent's attack.
Jiang Li also rushed up, grabbed Magic Seven, and said with a smile: "Captain Ye, you are so good at it. We are not ready when you suddenly come like this. My brother is a little bit over the top, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, you're reacting very quickly." Ye Su said to Jiang Li: "He's a good seedling."
"The captain is too much." Jiang Li rubbed his slightly numb arms, and then he realized that the other party wanted to see how strong he was. At the same time, Ye Su's eyes were on Magic Seven: "As for you - you are clean and sharp in movements, it doesn't look like you are randomly beaten randomly. It seems that you have been trained for many years. There are not many people who can beat me like this, but when I look at you, I seem to have never seen it in the Explorer Training Camp."
Just now, Magic Seven subconsciously resisted Ye Su's attack. He soon realized that the other party was testing him. However, when Ye Su fought, he also realized that he was a trainer, so his actions against him were much more ruthless than Jiang Li's. Magic Seven knew that the other party had no room for him, so the reason why he launched the attack first was that he realized that Ye Su had no intention of stopping, so he had to fight him seriously.
Facing Ye Su's doubts, Magic Seven was not panicked. He said in a humble and arrogant manner: "These punches and kick skills were learned from his brothers. The parents at home were old and weak and needed care, so they did not sign up to be an explorer before. Later, my brother passed away and in order to make a living, I had no choice but to participate in this operation. As for using a gun, he also taught me."
"So that's it." Ye Su nodded and looked at the two people in front of him: "I just observed it. Your skills and reactions are pretty good. With a little training, you can become excellent warriors." After the other party finished speaking, Jiang Li and Magic Seven knew it in their hearts: Ye Su wanted them to join the combat team.
"If the situation was not special, I wouldn't have asked you to discuss it rashly." Ye Su said to the two: "Would you like to become explorers and fight side by side with me?"
For Jiang Li and the others, this was something they wanted. After seeing the horror of the monster just now, they deeply realized how important weapons are in this dungeon. After the two returned to the team, they took a break. After the bodies of the victims were placed, Ye Su took everyone to set off again.
This time, everyone was traveling much faster than before. When they were so tired, they would stop and take a short rest for a few minutes.
As for Rong Yu, Jiang Li always paid great attention to the other party's situation along the way. For him, who suffers from dark phobia, the itinerary along the way is also a torture. However, the other party's ability to withstand and psychological quality is obviously not as bad as he imagined. After adapting to the dark environment, his condition has improved a lot.
Although he was still sweating slightly while holding his hand, Rong Yu's expression was much calmer than before.
"Can you still sleep steadily if you get this disease?" Jiang Li knew that this mental illness could not be overcome in a day or two. Therefore, he was also trying to find topics, trying to divert his attention and let him relax.
"You never turn off the lights at home at night. As long as you close your eyes and feel that there is light, your heart will feel much more at ease." Rong Yu said softly.
"Oh...Is anyone sleeping with you?" Jiang Li found that his words were a little ambiguous and changed his words: "I see that you are so weak, so I must be with you."
"I'm single." Rong Yu smiled bitterly: "I have had several partners before, but in the end they couldn't stand my quirks. Over time... that's fine."
"What? Do you have any special hobbies?" Jiang Li suddenly became curious after hearing what the other party said.
Rong Yu smiled faintly and then said, "I have dated many girls, but I never take them home for the night. Because I am not only afraid of the dark, but also can't sleep in the bed. For so many years, I have fallen asleep in the bathtub in the bathroom."
"Why is this happening?" Jiang Li couldn't help asking.
Rong Yu thought about it and said seriously: "In his childhood, my father had a serious tendency to violence. He was very suspicious and often abused his mother and beat me up and vented his anger. It was ridiculous. Every time he got drunk, he would stage the same drama: he suspected that his mother cheated, and I was a villain."
Jiang Li listened quietly to him and stopped interrupting him.
"At that time, in order to protect me, my mother would hide me in the dark toilet. When my father couldn't find me, she would hit her, and it would take a long time to hit her... He was tired of hitting her and fell asleep. After confirming that she was safe, my mother would climb to the door with scars and open the toilet door."
"Sometimes, there was no movement in the second half of the night, and I fell asleep on the toilet."
Rong Yu said one by one, as if trying to recall what happened before.
"But in most cases, I would squat at the door of the toilet, listening to my mother's crying outside the door and the sound of beer bottle being smashed... I was very scared. My father was too heavy to do it. Although I didn't know what I did wrong at that time and why he hit me, the toilet was the safest place for me. I was afraid of the darkness, because when I could see nothing, all my father's insults and howlings were left in my mind."
Rong Yu slowly stroked his neck: "This scar was burned by my father once after getting drunk. This scar is ugly. Every time I see it in the mirror, I will recall my experience at that time. But now it has become a tattoo, isn't it cool?"
"Okay, it's all over, don't go to your heart." Jiang Li sighed, not wanting to let the other party think about those things anymore. He interrupted the other party and continued, "But you still have to actively cooperate with the treatment of this disease. After all, in the subsequent tasks, darkness is something that everyone must face. If you want to survive, you have to try to overcome this difficulty."
"Well, I will. Are you caring about me?" Rong Yu looked at the other party with a melancholy look and suddenly laughed out loud: "I'm embarrassed to tell you, actually I lied to you. So are you, I believe such an old story."
"Is that right?" Jiang Li was slightly stunned, but his reaction was not as angry as Rong Yu thought. According to his plan, with the other party's temper and personality, if he found that he was deceived, he would definitely fight back with anger. However, this time, Jiang Li breathed a lot of relief and said to him with relief: "Fortunately you lied to me, otherwise you would be too pitiful."
At this moment, the sincerity in the other person's eyes suddenly touched the softest part of his face and heart.
He opened his mouth and after a long time, he said, "So too. You trust others so easily and can easily suffer losses in this environment."
