Chapter 34: Illusion
It's been more than ten years since I've felt so at ease.
Ye Chen stood by the window, leisurely looking at the night sky that was already pitch black.
"Alright, don't be deep in the middle of the night, go to sleep. ”
Not far away, my father's reproachful voice came.
"Okay! ”
Hearing his father's voice, Ye Chen's heart also felt a wave of warmth, how long had it been since he had been cared for like this......
"Didi. ”
The mobile phone on the bedside shook twice, and someone actually sent a text message to Ye Chen.
"Damn, who is going to be in the middle of the night? ”
The warmth in Ye Chen's heart was interrupted all of a sudden, which made him a little annoyed, but he still patiently picked up his phone and looked at it.
"Xiao Yezi, what are you doing! Didn't you say that you would go out tonight to fight the red police together? Sender: Zhang Chu. ”
Zhang Chu?
A familiar name came into his eyes again - Zhang Chu and he were neighbors, and they grew up wearing a pair of pants, but after his parents disappeared, Zhang Chu's family also lost news, and just like that, Ye Chen's only friend was gone.
Seeing Zhang Chu's news at this time, Ye Chen couldn't help but get excited, and after repeatedly determining the meeting place, he put on his clothes and went out.
"Alas, this kid is really not worry-free. ”
Hearing the sound of Ye Chen closing the door, his father sat on the edge of the sofa and sighed leisurely, and finally decided to put on his clothes and silently followed.
......
From time to time, a few rats scurried through the sewage-ridden streets, and the aging power lines were sparkling because of the loss of the rubber coat. But all this not only did not bore him, but was a little kind, when he saw a familiar figure looking around at the door of the "Chaoyang Internet Cafe", Ye Chen hugged the person tightly.
"Hey, I said what crazy you kid is, what time did you come? ”
The man pushed Ye Chen away with some disgust, and couldn't stop complaining.
After all, I haven't seen it for more than ten years, and in Ye Chen's mind, Zhang Chu is still the little kid with a runny nose back then, but looking at the boy in front of him who can already be regarded as a handsome guy, Ye Chen's eyes are still slightly sour.
It seems that what Meng Po said will make up for her regrets is true......
Ye Chen sighed silently in his heart, hugged Zhang Chu and walked into the Internet café.
"Hey, Yezi, what's going on with you tonight, do you have something on your mind. ”
Looking at Ye Chen's explosive base, Zhang Chu shouted with some dissatisfaction. If it was time to change the usual, Zhang Chu couldn't even survive half an hour in Ye Chen's hands, but tonight he had won three games in less than two hours, which made him feel that something was not right.
"Ah, I, I'm fine, it's you who have become stronger. ”
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Chu's side face and said a little distractedly.
It was perfect, but he knew that he would have to go back sooner or later.
"Ye Chen, Zhang Chu, you two stinky boys beat my brother yesterday and want to leave?
Just as the two of them were about to continue playing, a bald head suddenly broke in from outside the door, pointing at the two and scolding.
"I said bald, yesterday it was your brother who was looking for trouble first, and my brother and I were justified in defense, do you understand? ”
"Besides, you're the only one who came here in the middle of the night, and you're not afraid to flash your tongue. ”
Hearing the scolding from behind him, Zhang Chu buckled his nose, turned his head lazily, and said with some disdain.
"Oh, then you say, so many people, is it enough to block you?"
Seeing Zhang Chu's appearance, the bald head didn't care, and waved his hand to the door, and in an instant, dozens of younger brothers rushed in, making this originally small Internet café a mess.
"Oops...... Yezi, I know you can't fight, after a while I tried to open a hole, you quickly rushed out to find help. ”
Looking at the black crowd, Zhang Chu swallowed his saliva in a little panic, but still stopped Ye Chen behind him, he knew that Ye Chen was okay with playing games, but this fight was really not good.
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Chu who was stopping in front of him, and was a little moved in his heart, all of this was exactly the same as more than ten years ago......
However, the difference is that Ye Chen at this time is no longer the same as before......
"Leave it to me. Ye Chen crossed Zhang Chu and smiled at the crowd with some disdain, "Are you coming one by one, or are you just going to go up together?"
"Damn, this kid is pretending to be so forceful, brothers, fuck him for me!"
Looking at Ye Chen, who was a little provocative, the bald head felt the anger rushing to his head for a while, and with a wave of his big hand, he made the little brothers all rush forward.
"Eight Qi Collapse!"
Looking at the crowd that surged up, Ye Chen did not panic in the slightest, pinched a few fingers in his hand, and then an air mass slowly condensed on his body.
"Bang ......"
A wave of anger exploded around with Ye Chen as the center, and then I saw the dozens of thugs flying out upside down in the incredible eyes of Zhang Chu and the bald head......
"You...... You're not human!"
Seeing this scene, the bald head was a little frightened, and staggered and ran out of the door, but before he could run far, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
"I heard you came to beat my son?"
The man glanced at the bald head coldly, and his face was full of unkindness.
"Ah, you, why are you here, I, I don't know ...... him"
As soon as the bald head saw this man, his heart that had finally settled down was raised again, and he explained in a panic, but before he could finish explaining, the man's strong punch hit him directly at the door.
"Ah......h
A terrible scream pierced the night sky, shattering the original tranquility of the path......
"Leaf ...... Leaf, what are you?"
In the Internet café, looking at Ye Chen, who looked like a god of war, Zhang Chu was a little shocked for a while-is this still the Ye Chen who would dislocate in a fight?
"Nothing. Ye Chen looked at Zhang Chu in front of him with some sadness, and then took a deep look at the corner of the street not far from the Internet café, at this time, a man was standing under the street lamp on the corner with a cigarette in his mouth, seeing Ye Chen looking at him, and quickly covered his face with a newspaper.
"It's time to go......"
Ye Chen was a little reluctant in his heart, but he understood that the real world was what he needed to face, instead of hiding in this false illusion to deceive himself.
"Bang!"
There was another explosion, but this time, no one flew out anymore - Ye Chen hit himself in the stomach with a thunder spell wrapped in it, and then the figure slowly faded away, and finally disappeared into thin air......
"I said he could! No, I should go, I can't let him see me yet. ”
Looking at Ye Chen, who was about to come out of the illusion, the man danced happily, and then seemed to remember something, muttered a word and disappeared.
......
"Hmm......"
Ye Chen rubbed his somewhat sour eyes and sat up from the ground.
"Are you awake?"
Seeing that he woke up, Dieyi and Qiao'er hurriedly came over - they were a few minutes faster than Ye Chen, so it wasn't that they had waited too long.
"Isn't that a pass?"
Ye Chen looked at Meng Po with some uncertainty and asked.
"Hmm. ”
A hint of admiration crossed Meng Po's eyes. You must know that most of the smugglers who usually pass through here are addicted to Gensokyo and can't extricate themselves, and finally become a member of this mighty army of ghosts......
And these three people not only came out, but the time was extremely short, which also made Meng Po can't help but look down on a few people again.
"For the rest of it, just follow this path. Meng Po pointed to a path next to Wangxiangtai, and continued, "Not long after walking forward, there are a total of five bridges of gold, silver, jade, stone and wood. ”
Isn't that where the legendary Wheel King lives!
Hearing Meng Po say that their destination was there, Ye Chen was shocked—it wouldn't be the Wheel King who forced him to reincarnate......
"Thank you, then let's go first. Ye Chen bowed to Meng Po, feeling a little grateful, after all, although Meng Po didn't say it, he could still feel that Meng Po had released water to them, and then he looked back at Li Qiao'er and asked, "Are you still with us next?" I remember if you didn't go there. ”
"Ah, me, it's okay for me, I'm going to go through it when I come down. ”
Li Qiao'er had a tangled look on her face, and then she quickly figured it out and said to Ye Chen with a smile.
"Well, let's go. ”
Ye Chen looked at the somewhat rugged path in front of him, muttered for a moment, and then walked forward along the road with the second daughter......
