Chapter 281 Lixia's Choice
"A place for one hundred people?" Shihui turned her head to look at the other party. A cold wind blew from behind, lifting her magical long hair, and she looked like a king.
"Do you think it's too much?"
Lixia felt nervous, after all, the other party was the one with the dominant say, and she could only decide how much he wanted to give and how much he was willing to give.
The atmosphere here was tense, or rather silent.
Momo, who was standing next to him, knew that he couldn't interrupt, so he could only stand behind Shi Hui and act as a sentinel.
“Why so many positions?”
Shihui felt a little unhappy, not because the other party asked for too much, but because she had never thought of taking so many people away.
The more people there are, the more difficult it is to control, and the more likely problems are to arise.
If they were all women, it would be fine and there would be no problems such as molestation or harassment. However, if people hide, that may not be the case.
After all, the sea is a long journey, and the pirates and sailors in the past were not much better, otherwise they would not have brought female goats on board.
At this time, Shi Shi felt a little fortunate that he was obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean and searched for all the navigation information for this purpose.
Moreover, she was tired of adding unnecessary numbers again.
After brainstorming, Lixia still couldn't come up with an answer that would satisfy the other party, so she could only say, "My family, the Rawls family, has many members."
"I want some of my family members to survive, or at least not die in the border areas."
This is the truth in her heart. If the other party still disagrees, there is nothing she can do.
Shihui looked up at Heiyun, then looked at her again: "I'm sorry, I don't intend to let so many people survive."
? !
This sentence instantly made the two of them feel numb.
It turns out that what the other party said at the beginning, that he didn't want to add any more useless people, was not just talk.
"Instead of using that kind of thing to negotiate with me, shouldn't you consider yourself lucky?"
"Lucky?" Lisia was a little puzzled.
"Yes, lucky."
Shi Hui pointed at her, his eyes devoid of emotion: "You are lucky to be able to survive under my protection, isn't it?"
"You might respond by saying the ship needs sailors, but I don't need that."
"Your resources and connections are just conveniences to me."
"Kill everyone in Helm Harbor, and I can still leave with what I want."
? !!
This sentence shocked the two again, and their pupils contracted and trembled.
Kill all of Helm's Harbor?!
Such crazy words were credible in Lime Mouth's mouth. After all, her eight monster knights were enough to kill through the entire Helm Harbor.
When she said this, there was no fluctuation in her eyes, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing.
"I'm sorry, my words may hurt your feelings, but this is just what I think. Please don't add unnecessary people to my life."
"More people means a greater risk of loss of control and loss of life, especially at sea."
Lime walked up to her and looked her in the eye: "Now, tell me, what do you want?"
Lisia knew that this was the other party's chance to give her another chance to speak again. As for what choice to make, it was all up to her.
“I…I want to live…”
Hearing this, Shi Hui raised her chin, with a smile without any emotion on her face, which was extremely weird: "Good answer, of course I will let you live well."
"I quite like you." She gently stroked the other's cheek, her eyes like a poisonous snake, piercing the soul.
"At a time like this, don't think of being a savior. After all, everything is in vain. Those one hundred people are enough to kill us."
Lisia didn't know what to say about this. The other party's cold fingertips gently stroked her cheek, making her feel cold in her soul.
"And the important thing is, so many people make me feel sick." After saying that, Shihui turned around and went back into the car, leaving the two standing outside.
After her figure disappeared, Momo finally spoke: "That person's ideas are very extreme, and her moods are very volatile. I thought she would agree just now, but it seems I was wrong."
"There's nothing I can do." Lisia smiled bitterly and shook her head, gently touching the cheek that had been touched by the other person: "If she wasn't extreme enough, we wouldn't be alive now."
She didn't blame Shihui for what she had just said. On the contrary, it was a lesson.
When you try to negotiate with someone of unequal power through a deal, the other party can easily trample on you.
"But ma'am, why do you want so many positions? Logically speaking, your Rawls family can be said to be a nest of poisonous snakes." Momo was very curious about this.
Although the Rawls family is terrifying, they are also cursed because of it. People in the family will scheme against each other and devour each other.
Only when we face a unified enemy will we unite.
"I just want to use this opportunity to get back some things that belong to me from those people." Lisia didn't intend to keep the secret.
Although the plan was wrong this time, it did not anger Shihui, so it was a perfect ending.
At the same time, it also allowed her to understand his style of doing things. Asking him to save people would be extremely troublesome, but if he was asked to kill people, he would simply enjoy it.
It would be better to directly change the one hundred tickets into one hundred death invitations, which might solve the problem more easily.
Momo nodded. This was consistent with his impression of the Rawls family. The people in the family could kill their compatriots for profit and would not consider any feelings.
"Then I will not get involved in your affairs, ma'am. I can only say, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you." Lisia nodded and turned back to the room.
In carriage number three, the refugees were eating meat and vegetables, which they had not eaten for a long time.
There is so much food on the table nowadays that we can’t even eat it all.
Orena and the others brought their food into the room to enjoy.
Sitting on the sofa, Shihui looked at the dilapidated room and thought back to the beginning. The entire train could be said to be extremely luxurious.
As a result, it has almost become a pile of scrap metal.
"Sister, you really don't want to eat?" Orena ate the steak in big mouthfuls and looked at Shihui who had an expressionless face on the sofa.
"Well, I'm not hungry."
"But you haven't eaten in a long time."
Shi Li smiled and said, "Who knows? But I haven't felt hungry yet, and I don't want to eat."
She looked at the women in the room and spoke slowly: "What do you think they should do?"
The "they" that Shihui was referring to were the women and children who had fled here. This sentence made the atmosphere tense.
Olena and Iko looked at each other, completely unsure of how to start.
When an ordinary person's life is in his own hands, he may lose his life because of a careless word.
Colin, who is also an ordinary person, remained silent. He felt lucky to be alive, so how could he get involved in such things again?
Olena swallowed the beef in her mouth and asked carefully, "So what do you think, sister?"
"Me?" Shine raised an eyebrow. After thinking it over, he decided to tell the truth: "I want to throw them into Helm Harbor to fend for themselves."
"After all, as long as we can't leave the borderland, then no matter what we do, it will be in vain."
Faced with such a cruel proposal, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, but no one dared to say anything.
After all, no one has the right to deny or disobey what Lime does. All they need to do is listen quietly.
"So I wanted to ask for your opinion."
Life or death is very simple for her, but Shihui doesn't know how to choose, whether to abandon or keep her.
After all, it’s just a few more women, so there’s no need to worry about any consumption.
Yi Ke turned on the kerosene lamp to the highest setting and placed it on the broken coffee table, while carefully observing Lime's eyes.
There was no emotion in those eyes, which made her not know how to speak for a moment.
"Sister...what if I take them all with me?"
Shime looked at Yi Ke, which immediately made her nervous.
But Shi Hui just pulled her to his side and gently held her in his arms: "Who knows, I've been thinking about this too."
"Should I take him with me or stay with him? Should I be a savior or a selfish person?"
Orena, who was squatting on the ground eating, became jealous when she saw this and wished she could switch places with Iko right now.
Yi Ke, who was held in his arms, was extremely nervous at this moment. With every breath he took, he could smell the strange body fragrance of Shihui, and his brain became a little unclear.
"Well, how about we take them all with us, sister?"
"Take it with you..." Shihui lowered his eyes, still feeling a little resistant to this.
This made her wonder if she was schizophrenic, otherwise why would she be so hesitant on these two issues.
Her fingertips passed through Iko's hair and gently stroked his head.
“I really can’t choose.”
The dim firelight flickered in the room, illuminating her fair face.
Lisia then said: "How about letting them choose for themselves?"
"What do you mean?"
"Whether they want to come with us or stay in Helmhaven is entirely up to them."
Hearing this, Shihui seemed to be thinking about it and agreed with this idea.
Life or death, it's all up to them to choose.
"That's a good idea. Then Yi Ke, please go and call those people over."
