Chapter 246 Stockholm Syndrome

The night sky is like ink and the stars are like brocade.

In a sparse wooded forest, a dilapidated forest hut stands in it. It was originally a place for loggers to rest in the early years. After the complete ban on logging in Kangzhou and imported from abroad, it was soon abandoned. It gradually decayed over time, but at this time, two guests from distant time and space were welcomed.

The night wind gently caresses, sweeping across the woods with a hint of cold wind, and all the insects and beasts are gone at this moment.

A very slight crisp sound woke Xu Nuo in his sleep. Xu Nuo, who was lying on the thick blanket, suddenly opened his dark eyes, and his sharp eyes were like sharp blades to patrol the dilapidated house.

He soon discovered the problem. The main beam on the beam, which served as the support of the entire house, was slowly breaking because it was too decay.

Although this is a normal thing, after all, if the reinforced wood material is not maintained or treated for a long time, it will decay and break. But I promised them to move in and gradually break off when they fell asleep, which is intriguing.

Xu Nuo withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him. His black hair was right in front of him. His long and gentle breathing and slightly trembling eyelashes showed that the owner was not feeling relaxed at this time.

"You haven't been sleeping?" Xu Nuo asked in a low voice.

After resting for a few hours, Xu Nuo's spirits improved significantly. Although he was still tired and headache, he had improved a lot compared to before.

"I can't sleep." Xu Xian, who was lying in front of Xu Nuo, slowly opened his eyes. His black and bright eyes were like lacquer and ink under the reflection of the starlight outside the window. He raised his hand and stroked his hair like clouds and fog in his ears. Xu Xian's voice was a little depressed. "My heart is very confused. Many people died today. Why did I let me experience such a terrible thing? I miss my parents very much now, and I want to go home."

"I want to go home too." Xu Nuo sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and stroked her long hair. "It's a bit intense today, but many times there are no other choices in many things. If others don't die, then we will die today. People are always selfish and always think about themselves first. I do everything, and I will resist everything. You don't need to have any burden, don't worry or be anxious. I said that I will definitely take you home."

"There are two days left." Xu Xian closed his eyes and approached Xu Nuo, his voice full of Xiao Suo. "I don't know what will happen in the next two days."

"It doesn't matter what kind of thing." Xu Nuo looked up at the beam that was getting bigger and bigger, and shook his head slightly. "You just need to remember that we are working hard for the most primitive instincts of mankind. We are to be able to survive, and at least we must stand in a safe place before pitying others."

"Your performance is very good." After a pause, Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Usually, when encountering these terrifying things, ordinary women have long fainted or screamed loudly. You can hold back and hold me without any extreme reaction. Compared to most women, it is absolutely excellent. At least Sika has been scared to scream at this time."

"Huh?" Xu Xian was surprised that Xu Nuo mentioned Jessica at this time. She almost forgot about this matter these days. She forgot that she used to live in a quiet and peaceful world. Her body tightened slightly, feeling the manly aura emitted by Xu Nuo beside her. Xu Xian's face gradually became rosy. "Can you tell me your story?"

After experiencing the crisis, the past few days have completely disrupted Xu Xian's original understanding of the world.

She knew that Xu Nuo actually had no need to worry about her. When facing a crisis, Promising could leave by himself. With his powerful ability, it was not too difficult to get out of trouble and return to the modern world. However, Xu Nuo protected himself tightly, even if he was in danger for this.

Originally, Xu Xian was accidentally involved in this terrible world because of Xu Nuo, but at this time she seemed to suffer from Stockholm syndrome and thought Xu Nuo was a good person.

People are always like this. When things don’t matter to you, everyone is a moral emperor. But once things fall on yourself, everything will be completely different. Even a righteous girl will not be an exception.

Xu Nuo can protect Xu Xian regardless of safety, and has greatly changed Xu Xian's senses. Moreover, the two of them share life and death, and have experienced countless things they had never dared to think about before. These things have a very obvious impact on the young Xu Xian. Now she is gradually falling into confusion.

Because of the huge change in mentality, Seo Hyun now wants to know the true story between Xu Nuo, Jessica and Kim Taeyeon. She subconsciously wants to find a suitable reason for her mentality change.

"He has difficulties." This is what Xu Xian really thought at this time. She has begun to take the initiative to explain Xu Nuo, hoping that he is a good person. Because only Xu Nuo is a good person can relieve her confusion.

Although the time is very good now, the God of Death is unwilling to give Xu Nuo this rare opportunity. After looking at the beam on the top of his head again, Xu Nuo shook his head slightly and stood up. "I can tell you, but we must leave first now. This house is about to collapse."

Xu Nuo put away the blanket and walked out of the small house in the forest in the night and the cold wind. Seeing Xu Xian rubbing her shoulders with a little fear of coldness, Xu Nuo took out her coat and put it on her, and gained a grateful look. In a short while, the two of them had not yet walked far away. After a roar, the house that allowed them to spend the night to fall down.

In the early morning, Xu Nuo and Xu Xian walked side by side on a country road in the tall woods. While eating the food taken out of the storage space, they introduced Xu Xian the story of his supplementary feed.

In Xu Nuo's mouth, he was inexplicably caught between Jessica and Kim Taeyeon because of all kinds of misunderstandings. Both women are very good and he likes them. But when the situation becomes clear, both sides can no longer let go. Xu Nuo said that he was in great pain and did not want to do this, but he could no longer give up hurting others, so he had to keep hiding it.

Taking advantage of drinking water, Xu Nuo quietly looked at Xu Xian, feeling that her expression had softened. It seemed that the sad scene was performed well.

Xu Xian indeed believed Xu Nuo's explanation and believed that he was a person who valued feelings. He completely forgot Xu Nuo's behavior was actually an emotional deception.

"That's how it is." After Xu Nuo said the story of his own addition, he slightly raised his head and looked at the sky with a fishy belly white in the distance. There was a hint of tragic color in his voice. "Actually, I am a good person."

After listening to Xu Nuo's story, Xu Xian didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and walked slowly in the forest. Xu Nuo didn't know what she was thinking. He just wanted to fool the girl as soon as possible.

The fish belly white in the distance gradually brightened, and the clouds in the sky were shining brightly. The dawn of the sixth day has arrived.

While Xu Nuo and Xu Xian were walking in the forest, a large group of people had gathered outside this huge forest. Connecticut police, Swat Operation Team from nearby states, local militia organizations, and of course, there are also indispensable people. Although this large case is difficult, it is a rare opportunity to show off.

After all, in everyone's eyes, no matter how strong the suspect is, the final result has long been doomed.

No matter how strong the two bandits are, how strong can they be? Can they escape from such a dense and powerful encirclement? No one can survive the encirclement of violent institutions, let alone in the United States at this moment.

Everyone is very confident in themselves and thinks they can complete the task smoothly.

In a huge extended tow truck, leaders from different powerful departments gathered here to meet and discuss the details of the action.

According to the default rules of US law enforcement, such joint actions are generally led by F-force, and this time is no exception.

The representative of the f-pillow is a middle-aged Mediterranean who calls himself Thomas. He is wearing a long beige windbreaker and has a thin body. His face is ordinary and looks like a middle school teacher. It is just that the calluses on his fingers and the sharp look in his eyes make it clear that this is a strong man.

"Everyone, I'm very disappointed." Thomas, the representative of the f-volume, stood in a truck full of advanced equipment, looked at the many powerful department heads in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice. "The search for the whole night last night was not gained at all. The use of so much police force spent a large amount of taxpayers' money every minute, but we did not make any progress. This is something that should not have happened."

"We have tried our best." A gray-haired policeman raised his hand and patted the table in front of him. "The police officers even went into the water to explore every stream carefully. I dare to swear we have carefully cleaned up all the planned areas. Maybe they have returned to New York."

The policeman, who is the representative of Connecticut police, was very dissatisfied with the huge trouble caused by the case that was originally New York State but ran to their territory.

None of the officials is willing to encounter such unlucky things. Last night, hundreds of police officers drawn from various places carefully searched in the forest but did not even find any hairs. This made the hungry police officers complain.

"This is impossible!" There is no absolute meaning in this kind of senior leaders at the meeting. Everyone has the same level. When someone speaks, they will naturally respond and oppose. "The experts have accurately calculated that the maximum fuel for that model of motorcycle can only travel to the area previously designated. There are no gas stations in this forest. Moreover, the surroundings have been completely blocked, and there are checkpoints on the roads everywhere, so they cannot escape and return to New York."

It has to be admitted that American experts are indeed capable, and it is difficult to become experts here.

Their original inference was not wrong. Xu Nuo was indeed exhausted when he rode a motorcycle and arrived in the nearby area. However, American experts did not know that Xu Nuo had a magical artifact, which could store a bucket of gasoline in advance.
