Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dark Waters
Lin Zhe followed Li Qi all the way out of the downtown area, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and Li Qi finally stopped.
"I've arrived, I'm staying at a friend's house tonight. Thank you for being with me all the way. Li Qi turned around and waved to Lin Zhe not far behind him, with a big smile, and walked into the community where his friend's house was located.
Lin Zhe took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, turned around and walked out of the empty avenue, and came to the main road to wait for the car, it was already late, and the temperature around him was getting colder and colder, so he could only put down the sleeves of his shirt and button the cufflinks.
The two strong men who walked out of the digital store behind Lin Zhe stopped in front of the store and looked at both ends of the sidewalk, and after finding that no pedestrians were passing by, they glanced at each other and slowly approached Lin Zhe.
There was already a taxi parked on the side of the road, Lin Zhe took off the backpack on his left shoulder, opened the back seat door and sat in the car, telling the driver the destination.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, we're on the same road, can we carpool?" The two strong men hurriedly grabbed the door that Lin Zhe was about to pull and got into the car.
Lin Zhe moved to the window of the car to make room for the two strong men.
The car turned out of the traffic light and made a sharp turn towards another intersection.
"Master, are you going the wrong way?" Lin Zhe, who was looking at the mobile phone screen, leaned over, and hurriedly raised his head to speak to the driver in the driver's seat.
"Not going the wrong way. The strong man beside him sneered at him.
"What do you want?" Lin Zhe calmly leaned back on the cushion and looked at the dark road ahead of him illuminated by the headlights.
"What you have, we want. The strong man closest to him stretched out his right hand and grabbed his phone, and his left hand put on his back and slowly moved down.
"Hey, don't scare him, we'll scare him to death later, we won't be able to explain. The driver of the car turned his head and yelled.
Lin Zhe reluctantly took the strong man's hand and leaned against the window. Growing up so big, the first time he encountered this situation, who the hell instructed them to do this?
The car drove out of the city and sped through the vast dark night, Lin Zhe felt his head getting heavier and heavier, and before he could slow down, he collapsed on the car window.
The car stopped in front of a modest rest stop on the side of the road, and Min floated out of the rest stop and landed in front of the car.
The driver looked at the bewitching woman in red who suddenly appeared in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and waved his hand to signal the two strong men in the back seat to carry Lin Zhe out of the car.
"Fairy, fairy, fairy, we brought you the person you wanted, if there is nothing else to order, we will go first. The two strong men looked at the woman in front of the car and were stunned, calmly lifted Lin Zhe out and put him on the ground, shrunk his head and opened his mouth to Ming.
"Wait, your reward. Ming glanced at Lin Zhe and threw the bag in his hand to the two people who walked to the car door.
"Thank you, thank you!" the strong man took Ming's package and hurriedly got into the car.
The car turned around and sped away towards the lights in the distance. Originally, when they took orders, the woman was still dressed as a normal person, but as soon as they brought someone in, she changed her appearance and suddenly appeared like a ghost.
"Boss, this bag is heavy. After the car drove some distance, the strong man holding the bag spoke.
"You stupid, don't open it, can that thing be used for money? Later, when the car drives to the side of the small bridge, give it to the river!" another strong man patted the hand of the strong man who was about to open the bag, telling him not to move.
"That's right, this thing can't be moved, and I don't know if she's a fairy or a ghost, so I'll stop the car later, and you can throw it away." The driver looked at the bridge lights in front of him and sped up.
Lin Zhe woke up and opened his eyes, and saw a red dress lying on the ground.
"You're finally awake. Ming spoke softly to Lin Zhe in his arms.
He heard a woman's voice in his ear, hurriedly got up and stepped back, staggered to the brick pillar beside him, and spoke to the woman. "If you want to settle accounts with me, just find me directly, why spend so much time?"
"You are my master, how can I settle accounts with you?" Ming got up and walked over to Lin Zhe and helped him to sit down on the edge of the simple stone chair.
"Master, do you want me to let my guard down, and then let me die in an instant, so that I can die a more painful death?" he chuckled as he looked at the woman beside him. In the afternoon, she suddenly fell to the ground by herself, and now she calls him "master", what kind of trick is she playing?
"In my previous life, I stayed by your side all my life, how could I be wrong about you?"
"And then, what do you want?" Lin Zhe looked at the woman with a serious face, nodded and spoke.
"What do you want? What do you want? Whatever I want, I can't. You are no longer the master of Hades, and I have crossed the River Styx to let go of those who I used to be, and I can no longer change anything. ”
"If you feel that your current life is not satisfactory and you want to find someone to talk to, I can accompany you. It's just that I still have classes tomorrow, and I'm leaving now, and it's too late to affect the rest of my roommates. Let's talk another day, is it okay?" Lin Zhe looked at the frowning Ming and spoke.
"Hmm. Ming smiled and nodded.
Lin Zhe watched her get up and prepare to leave, and in the blink of an eye, he landed on the path near the dormitory area.
"Your stuff. Ming handed Lin Zhe's schoolbag to him and melted into the darkness.
"What's your name?" Lin Zhe said, looking at the darkness.
There was no more of her voice in the darkness, and a small square of paper suddenly floated down from the treetops on the side of the path, Lin Zhe caught the piece of paper and read it out against the dim street lamp.
"Ming?"
What a familiar sound.
Luo Ying tossed all night, and finally finished all the homework questions that Xi Yuan sent her, put down the pen and stretched comfortably.
She walked out onto the balcony, leaned on her elbows on the railing, and looked at the tall lights in the distance. The night breeze was a little cool, but it was very comfortable.
It's past midnight, and my parents still haven't come back, and the two couples are really busy.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Xie Ya, who was walking in the yard, saw Luo Ying on the balcony, so she went upstairs and secretly opened her door and came to her side.
"What about you, why don't you sleep yet, you have something on your mind?" she turned her head and looked at Xie Ya who lowered her eyebrows beside her.
"When is there no heart? Xie Ya tilted her head and replied.
"If you care, why do you have to force yourself to refuse?" Luo Ying straightened up and turned to her.
"How do you know?" Xie Ya straightened up in surprise.
"You are my personal assistant, and I naturally want to know more about your affairs. Luo Ying clasped her hands around her chest and spoke in her tone.
Zhou Li told her about Xie Ya and his brother, and she learned that Xie Ya was also mired in feelings.
"Children, don't guess if it's okay, there are some things that you can't understand yet, but don't be self-righteous. Xie Ya smiled and turned to walk into the room.
"I'm not a child, I know everything I should know. She looked at Xie Ya's back and retorted. Saying that she is a child, and wanting her to be exposed to those things in the adult world as soon as possible, hey......
"Hmm. Rest early. Xie Ya went out the door and smiled and nodded at her, reaching out to close the door.
She withdrew her gaze to the door and put the textbooks, workbooks, and pens on the desk into her bag.
"Ho......" As soon as she turned around, she was startled to see a woman in a red dress dragging behind her.
"What do you want to do?" she stepped back behind her desk, looking at the sad woman on her face.
"I don't want to think about anything, I won't do anything to you. Cherish your leisurely days, and take good care of my master for me. Ming said quietly. She went out of the underworld without permission and was discovered, and this time she went back, and it would probably be even more difficult to get out of the ghost gate again in the future. I only hope that after she goes back, the house will not punish her.
"Your master, why do you need me to take care of it? Moreover, who is your master?" Hearing her say this, Luo Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but she was puzzled, she was a ghost, how should she take care of her master? Could it be that she died early, leaving her master and leaving first, so her master is still alive?
"Lin Zhe. Ming smiled at Luo Ying and floated away from her room.
"Lin Zhe, Lin Zhe, hey, wait a minute...... she shouted as she looked at the woman, but found that the woman had drifted away, so she had to stop shouting.
