319 Rescue (3)
“They will definitely send people down to hunt them down.
“In order to avoid any complications, we should leave this place first.”
After saying that, Ning Shi carried Nico on his back and quickly ran toward the other end of the secret passage.
Ning Shi’s speed was very fast. At his full speed, in less than 10 minutes, he returned to the exit of Norse City.
Once they reached the territory of the Academy District, the nobles’ army would definitely not dare to come over. This place was considered safe.
In the rubble of the Dongpo Ridge, Ning Shi looked at Nico’s reddened eyes. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Nico seemed to be more gentle and charming than before.
“What did you say just now? You were deceived by Wang Fu, the informant?” Ning Shi asked deliberately.
Nico had a stomach full of grievances. When he met Ning Shi, he wanted to tell him about it but was rudely interrupted by him.
Now that he was talking about this matter, for some reason, the grievance in his heart was not as strong.
Thinking of how devastated he was because of Wang Fu’s betrayal, Nico felt that he had been so stupid.
Humans were like this. Once they fell into a certain emotional cycle, it would be difficult for them to get out of it.
However, after meeting Ning Shi, Nico felt that he was not so lonely. Without Wang Fu, there was still Ning Shi. There were always true friends that he could rely on and trust.
He nodded and said, “That’s right. I didn’t expect Wang Fu to be so scheming when he was only ten years old. I was stupid.”
“Not only did I not see through his ulterior motives, but I even treated him as my own younger brother and told him some of my secrets.”
Ning Shi laughed and said to Nico, “You’re quite stupid. The secret of possessing the forbidden core was first known to the teachers of the Norse Republic Academy. Although they appeared to be helping you, in reality, they restricted your freedom.
“You even told this secret to Wang Fu and let the Hilda family know.
“It is easy for you to fall into the whirlpool of the struggle between many forces, but you didn’t have the slightest experience and wisdom.
“You did not think of a way to protect yourself, nor did you take the initiative to fight for the status and power you deserved among the forces of the Republican Party.
“You only foolishly accepted it passively.”
Hearing Ning Shi’s words, Nico did not ask Ning Shi how he knew about the forbidden core. Instead, he was somewhat unconvinced. He explained, “The teachers of the academy are very good to me and don’t restrict my freedom. Moreover, I hate scheming and prefer to treat my friends sincerely.
“I think the most important thing for me now is to study.”
Ning Shi shook his head. “Perhaps I shouldn’t have saved you so early. I should have let you suffer more. You should have paid the price of blood and tears. Perhaps only then would you have a clearer understanding of your living condition. ”
After saying that, Ning Shi turned on his smart wristwatch and sent a recording to Nico.
“This recording is a discussion between several high-level executives of the academy when you went missing. Listen carefully.
“A single Wang Fu can fool you, and a single piece of information can trick you to go to Cloudy Mountain. Are you an idiot?”
Nico was speechless. He turned on her watch and began to listen to the recording that Ning Shi had sent. The more he listened, the uglier his expression became.
Nico was not stupid. He had grown up in an orphanage. Due to his identity as a muse and his unlucky talent, he was ostracized by his peers.
However, his personality was still gentle and kind, and he had no experience in society or struggle.
This kind of personality was very trusting.
After all, Nico was just a young boy who had just turned 18 years old. Not everyone was as mature and abnormal as Wang Fu.
Ning Shi deliberately provoked him with words, hoping that he would mature.
According to the storyline of this world, if Ning Shi had not intervened in this matter, Nico might have been forced to grow after paying a huge price.
Ning Shi did not want to delay the growth of the hot shots because of his rescue operation.
After listening to the recording, Nico remained silent. It was obvious that he had gotten to know the higher-ups of the academy again.
In particular, Teny’s imprisonment and Liang Wenli’s utilitarian-based views allowed Nico to see the world of adults.
In comparison, his actions were indeed childish and laughable.
