Chapter 14, the school girl arrived
The orange bus slowly passed by the gate of the station, there were already a lot of people waiting in front of the station, the passengers who got off the bus were all dragged out of the door with dark circles under their eyes, they dragged large bags of luggage, and a tall young man wearing headphones and holding a suitcase flashed out of the crowd sideways.
Most of them were tourists returning from a trip out of town, and after a long day of traveling, they were already half breathing, and there was a low noise in the crowd, and there was a faint cry of children.
A girl who looks like a college student walks to the ticket gate, the girl is wearing a plain white low-shoulder suspender shirt with minimalist English letters printed on the chest, and the loose shirt is slightly sloppy but spotless. There is a delicate pendant hanging from the ultra-short aqua blue jeans, and the white and slender legs reflect the white halo in the light, showing a transparent texture, and the white sneakers of the Nike brand are stained with a little mud.
The girl took the ticket handed by the ticket inspector and stuffed it into her pocket at will, dragging a large suitcase in one hand and the backpack strap behind her in the other, her steps were as brisk as the wind, her long light chestnut hair was slightly curled in the wind, and her light figure loomed in the crowd.
From time to time, there are passengers who are in a hurry to look sideways slightly, and look at the girl's back as if she is riding in the dust.
The sound of the radio that often reminds me sounded, and the hall was bright, and the girl flashed sideways from the gate through the surging crowd, and the unique atmosphere of the night in the big city suddenly came to her face, and the lights in front of her were like a sea.
Even from such a distance, she could still see the figure standing silently in the crowd at a glance. In her impression, he seems to have always liked to wear that special dark gray trench coat, even if he is mixed in the crowd, it seems like he is alone waiting for you in the same place.
She subconsciously slowed her pace and moved closer to him.
Ling Chenxuan also spotted her, so he walked towards the girl.
The girl gave him a wry smile as they got closer, but it was obvious that she was a little weak, and she waved her hand, "Su."

Of course, she knew why Ling Chenxuan appeared at the station at this point in time, he has always been an extremely punctual person, this morning she originally just logged in to the Daomeng forum with the mentality of wandering around, and wanted to brush up on the newly updated post, as soon as she went online, she saw the help post from the exorcist Luo Fan, when she was rushing to the train at Xicheng Station, she originally wanted to leave a little word to express sympathy, but the next moment she saw someone's reply to the sentence "I am in Wucheng".
So he immediately changed the ticket back to Beicheng, from Xicheng to Wucheng, and told Ling Chenxuan in a private message that he was going to comfort him, and if he could, it was best to come to the station to pick her up, the time was 8:40 p.m.
Originally, it was just a joke, but as soon as the words came out, she regretted it, because she knew that with Ling Chenxuan's character, he must appear at the gate of the station on time regardless of everything, he has always been so stubborn, to everyone.
As a result, when he really appeared in front of her, she was still a little touched. To be honest, she was really afraid that she would have to face the hustle and bustle of the city alone as soon as she got out of the station, and then she would really want to cry without tears......
"Hey, you look like a spy on the beach in the twentieth century...... "Although she knew that this atmosphere was not appropriate to complain about now, she couldn't help but muttered weakly......
Ling Chenxuan glanced at the suitcase in her hand, and directly reached out to take it, and at the moment when the two of them were about to touch their hands, the Xuan Ring he was wearing on his finger rang softly.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gu Fangyan pushed out the door with a large bag of instant noodles and coke.
The uncle of the store and Gu Fangyan have known each other for a long time, and as soon as the uncle saw him enter the door, he put on his reading glasses and chatted with him with a kind face for a while, Gu Fangyan was moved in his heart, so he spent all his remaining pocket money.
Now Gu Fangyan is pacing leisurely on the brightly lit streets of Wucheng alone, his thin back slowly blending into the gorgeous and bright streets, surrounded by high-rise buildings rising like canyons, as if they are checkered cages woven with light, and the cars on the elevated road in the distance from a distance converge into an arc-shaped, slender stream of light, rushing forward with all his might, not knowing what unknown distance to lead.
People actually can't express their emotions most of the time, and you always want to go out and walk alone, and you don't have to have a purpose, and you don't need to know where you're going.
But Gu Fangyan just thinks that the street air is amazing now, and just wants to stay outside for a while, because when he returns home, there are only instant noodles and sofas left.
There is also a TV card, and he went to hand in the TV card today.
There's a table mate who is great at studying to help me with my homework.,There's a fat house happy package and the latest update of the anime at night.,Although there's a little unpleasant episode.,But honestly, this kind of life is pretty good.γ
He just doesn't want to face the life after the college entrance examination, where will he go at that time? Will everything return to zero, and start a new life from a new starting point?
Thinking that the few friends around him were going to part ways and drift apart, Gu Fangyan felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
The horizon in the distance was hazy but hard, a few stars appeared in the sky in bits and pieces, and the lights of the whole city were on, like a tide, surging towards him at any moment.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The residential areas fell completely silent at night, and some of the old walls with cracked corners crawled with large creepers, glowing green in the dim moonlight.
"This place looks a little old. Cheng Xinuo squinted slightly and looked up.
"Well, there are a lot of retired old cadres living here. Ling Chenxuan dragged his suitcase and followed.
"So why do we come to this kind of place, isn't it good to find a hotel or something......? Aren't you going to open a house together...... I just want to take a good shower, after all, I just came back from a trip to Xi'an, and I'm covered in dirt,......" Cheng Xinuo replied with a bitter face.
"I'm on a mission, this is the location of the mission, and I've sensed the Divine Sun here, near here. Ling Chenxuan ignored her resentment.
"There's one thing I've been concerned about since just now, you're still wearing that ring?" Cheng Xinuo turned his head and pointed to the pitch-black ring on his right hand.
Ling Chenxuan was stunned, "Is there any problem?"
"Alas~" Cheng Xinuo shook his head and sighed, and glanced at Ling Chenxuan helplessly, "Senior, you also have to learn to keep pace with the times, those things have long been outdated." β
"Outdated?" Ling Chenxuan frowned.
"It's outdated, only the older generation of exorcists and the uncles at the headquarters still wear this thing. Cheng Xinuo proudly raised his right hand, wearing a small and delicate silver ring on his smooth and slender index finger.
With the rapid progress of the times, some of the stereotypes that have been passed down to this day have been gradually broken by the younger generation of exorcists, and everyone firmly believes that unity is strength, more people are awesome, and cooperation to learn from each other's strengths is always more efficient than going it alone.
Therefore, more and more exorcists privately form ghost slaying teams, and exorcists who have been lonely for thousands of years finally have their own comrades-in-arms, even friends.
Sometimes she really felt that Ling Chenxuan was like an antique, always like an exorcist who lived thousands of years ago, wandering the world all his life, waving his knife coldly, with lingering loneliness.
So sometimes she is very glad that she can meet him, and she is afraid that he will always be so withdrawn, like a lone wolf in the depths of the wilderness, stubborn and distressing.
When they met just now, she could feel the violence that had not completely dissipated from Ling Chenxuan's body, even with a poker face that was not happy or sad, it was difficult to hide the murderous aura in it, it was as if she had just killed a few people in anger and hurried to pick her up, and she even saw a few brown spots on his dark trench coat that seemed to be bloodstained after coagulation.
Every now and then, she would feel that the person in front of her was very strange, and she was always very nervous and uneasy in her heart, afraid that he would never put down the knife when he raised the knife, and eventually he would be coerced by extreme violence and become a monster that no one knew.
Fortunately, Ling Chenxuan was always able to control each task to an extremely precise degree, unsheathed and unsheathed like a sharp knife flowing water, and when the enemy's blood light was raised, he had already turned around and disappeared.
The two of them slowly approached the depths of the residential area in the dreary night, with only the sound of the whirring wind and the rolling of the wheels of the trunk.
"Can I ask you a question?" Ling Chenxuan said suddenly.
"Huh?" Cheng Xinuo looked up at him in amazement.
"What does it mean if an exorcist doesn't receive an invitation notification from the Dao Alliance on his eighteenth birthday?" Ling Chenxuan asked slowly.
Cheng Xinuo blinked, "Do you mean that an exorcist with a yang blood physique but who has not been activated was not invited by the Dao Alliance when he was eighteen years old?" is very simple, there are only two possibilities, either the place where the exorcist lives is too remote and is missed by the Dao Alliance, you know that this often happens." β
Ling Chenxuan thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be, he lives around here." β
"Then there's only one possibility. Cheng Xinuo stretched out his finger at him, "The exorcist's parents don't want him to know his identity, and they want him to live a normal life like an ordinary person." β
"Parents ......" Ling Chenxuan lowered his eyes, he remembered the previous computer wallpaper, and the young faces of men and women resurfaced in his mind.
So that's the case, but it's normal to think about it, when parents who want their children to wander on the tip of the knife all year round, like entering a nightmare that can't wake up, waiting for him only to kill and be killed.
"But wasn't the invitation notice forced by the Dao Alliance? It shouldn't be possible to rewrite it just by one's own will, right?"
"Who knows, what if that person is very powerful, maybe it is a leader of the internal organization of the Dao Alliance, in that case, even a small request is not too much, right?"
"Did that Dao Alliance ever have a high-level exorcist surnamed Gu?" Ling Chenxuan suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Cheng Xinuo's eyes.
"That...... If the senior doesn't even know you, then I don't know it, after all, there are still quite a lot of high-level exorcists in the Dao Alliance. Cheng Xinuo stopped, "What's the matter?"
Ling Chenxuan shook his head lightly, "Forget it, just ask casually, let's go." β
"This place is not simple. After a long time, he whispered to himself. It's really not simple, and it's unlikely that it's just a coincidence why there are lost people here. Also, where is the thing he has been looking for, and who will be the father of the boy surnamed Gu?
One mystery after another looms over this residential area, like an endless dark cloud on the horizon. At least until he completes his mission, he will never leave.
"Where are we going now......" Cheng Xinuo asked weakly.
"Houses. Ling Chenxuan replied bluntly.
Cheng Xinuo was full of black lines, "Then may I ask how we should trespass?"
Ling Chenxuan took out a small key from the inside pocket of his trench coat with a serious face, "This is the spare key I found from the drawer in the entrance. β
Cheng Xinuo covered his face silently, "I really admire you so much, senior......"
In the distance, I don't know where the low song of a lonely bird sounded, like a wailing.
