Chapter 275: A Place to Stay
The monster screamed in his heart, but it was too late, the formation immediately contracted, trapping him inside, and then several red flashes of light reflected the whole room as if it were bleeding, and when the light subsided, the room returned to its original state, and there was a small pinch of ash on the ground in addition to the fragments of the furniture.
Jin Hotaru suffered only minor injuries. He felt strange that he didn't want to kill people at first, knowing that the other party wanted to kill him, it was the right choice to immediately launch the formation left by Ji Ao and Yan'er, but he had to delay until he was injured, and it was completely necessary for him to suffer such an injury.
"Jin Ying, are you okay?" Zhang Lei entered the living room through the window at some point, "Is there another enemy coming to the door?"
"Eleven times. "This formation has been used nine times, and it can be used eleven more times.
"It's only been five days since they've been gone, and nine enemies have come to the door!" Zhang Lei's eyes widened, he thought about it and added, "The news of your living here spreads really fast." Why don't you go and hide from Lu Qing. This formation will soon be invalid, and if it encounters a strong opponent, it may not be able to resist it. You live upstairs in my house, I persuaded you because you have too many monsters in and out of here, and I am afraid that it will affect my mother's safety!"
"I still want to be here for a while. Jin Hotaru thought blankly.
"Hmph, it's really elm's head that doesn't listen to persuasion! If you hadn't listened to persuasion at the beginning......" Zhang Lei glared at him angrily and shook his head, "I know you miss Yan'er, but you don't have to act like it's never going to come back......"
"Yan'er will definitely come back!" Jin Hotaru looked up with a determined expression.
But Zhang Lei has already left. Hotaru looked at the empty room and sat down in front of the window he was used to. But he only sat for a moment before he couldn't help but get up and walk around the room.
Since the day he hatched Yan'er, Yan'er has been living by his side, the father and son have never been separated for more than four days, but now it has gone so far away, and I don't know when it will come back, as long as Jin Ying thinks of this, his heart is not a taste.
"In less than eight days, twenty times it was used up. Jin Hotaru looked at the messy living room where the furniture was staggered. This formation was built by Ji Ao and Yan'er with a lot of effort, and it took less than eight days. As another youkai who came to seek revenge turned to ashes, the entire formation had become invalid, and it turned into a few pieces of rune paper that fell from the wall.
"Ji Ao has made more enemies than I thought. This is the conclusion reached by a helpless Jin Hotaru standing in the middle of the living room, and like all doting parents, he refuses to accept the fact that most of the trouble is caused by his own children. Although he knew that this moment would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to come so soon.
As the pinch of ashes on the ground was blown away by the wind, Lu Qing walked in through the wall.
During this time, she never came to urge Jin Hotaru, because she knew Jin Hotaru, and as long as she could stay here, Jin Hotaru would definitely not leave his home. Now that there is no barrier to protect him, Lu Qing has to take on her responsibilities, because she had promised Yan'er and Li Yao to protect Jin Ying until they return.
"Let's go, I have surgery this afternoon. Lu Qing stood silently on top of him.
Jin Hotaru just nodded and didn't speak. He stood in front of Yan'er's pile of toys for a moment, then turned into a black mist, hiding in the shadow at Lu Qing's feet.
"Jin Ying, I'm really sorry that I asked you to follow me to the hospital, but I can't leave my work. Lu Qing said as she walked briskly down the corridor of the hospital, and if anyone saw her talking to herself, they would be surprised to think that her brain was not normal.
Jin Hotaru didn't make a sound in her shadow, just shook a little, although he was now stronger than the ordinary demon man, but he couldn't change into a human form, so even the weakest monster could bully him, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, Lu Qing could only let him hide in his shadow.
Not only can Lu Qing help him deal with the enemy, but the unique fire nature of the thousand-year-old female can also help him improve the quality of his cultivation. Jin Ying didn't have to worry about any external factors at all, as long as he followed Lu Qing, whether it was in the hospital or elsewhere, he only needed to concentrate on cultivation.
When Jin Hotaru is free, she often thinks back to the time when she wandered in the mountains and forests with Yan'er when she first became a demon. At that time, although he was weaker than now, he didn't know how to be afraid, and even if he met a powerful monster, what he and Yan'er thought in their hearts was whether they could eat this kind of thing they had never seen before? Is it good or not? Instead of whether the other party is powerful or not, whether they have fought well, have they changed, and I wonder if they have become more human?
"Golden Firefly ......"
"Hmm. ”
"I'm sure Yan'er and Li Yao will be back soon. ”
"Hmm. ”
"It's a good show again. Luo Jin is very aware of what Lidan City is quietly cultivating recently, and it will explode at any time.
The people on the streets are still busy every day and live at their own pace. Humans, sensing, can never predict what will happen to their city. But no matter how much stronger the youkai are than humans, they are still just a group of passers-by who cling to the human home to survive, humans......
Luo Jin stood at the door of the People's Hospital, and the crowds coming in and out from here were staging the most real birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings, looking at them, thoughts about fate and life couldn't help but emerge from his mind. He shook his head to dispel these thoughts, he didn't come to be angry about humanity.
He hid in a pentagonal maple tree in the hospital, moved his body, put on a more comfortable posture, and continued to stare at the hospital. After a few days of investigation and analysis, he was able to determine that Jin Hotaru was hiding next to Lu Qing.
Jin Hotaru herself must have known very well that Yan'er and Ji Ao had countless enemies, and these enemies would ruthlessly target him for their hatred when he lost most of his mana. Less than ten days after Ji Ao and Yan'er left the city, Jin Hotaru disappeared from his residence. During this time, several youkai who claimed to take revenge on him also disappeared, and no one cared about their whereabouts and fate anymore.
The youkai of Ritan City speculate that there are three places for Hotaru to go after she leaves home.
The first place is the illusory realm of Shu Wang. That space was created independently by Shu Wang, isolated from the world, and with Shu Wang, a 10,000-year-old demon, in charge, those enemies would not dare to go there to die even if they had 10,000 heads. It's just that Shu Wang's temperament is weird, and Jin Ying's temper is even more different, whether he is willing to go to Shu Wang, and whether Shu Wang is willing to accept him, it's hard to say.
The second place is the temple where the Buddha lived when he came to the world to inspect. If the Buddha and Ji Ao have a good relationship, if Ji Ao has something to say when he leaves, he will definitely accept and protect Jin Ying. There is no need to say much about the unfathomable strength of this Buddha.
The two apprentices of the Buddha are not vegetarians, of course, in terms of diet, Ran Zhilao Na and Senior Brother Huizhen do only eat green vegetables and tofu every day, and only their master Rulai Buddha has reached the realm of wine and meat through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart sits. Naturally, the youkai don't want to provoke them by looking for death, and this is indeed an excellent refuge. It's just that Jin Ying's cultivation is Taoism, so he hid in the Buddhist temple of the Buddha, I don't know if he can bear it.
The third place, next to Lu Qing. Although Lu Qing is indifferent and isolated by nature, in recent years, the monsters in Lidan City have learned her power many times, especially the monsters who entered "her" hospital without knowing it, and wanted to get some benefits from those sick and weak humans.
And Jin Ying always has an inexplicable ambiguous relationship with her, and at this time, he is most likely to hide in Lu Qing.
After some investigation, Luo Jin finally confirmed that Jin Ying definitely followed Lu Qing into the hospital. But Lu Qing's commuting time is very normal, he has observed for a long time, but he has never seen Jin Ying follow her out of the hospital.
Could it be that he stayed in the hospital after Lu Qing left? No, wasn't that a target for the enemies? Or did Lu Qing take him out in some way? Could it be that they had teamed up to set a trap for the enemies who had attacked him?
Luo Jin deliberated repeatedly in his mind, and finally decided to continue to observe carefully.
At this moment, at the back of the hospital opposite Luo Jin's observation angle, Zhang Jie was sitting on the roof of the hospital building, also observing the movements in the hospital.
Just now Zhang Jie saw Lu Qing walk through the courtyard from the outpatient department and towards the inpatient department, but there was no one else around her, and even her shadow couldn't see anything abnormal, could it be that Jin Ying not only didn't go back from work with her, but when she was in the hospital, Jin Ying didn't follow her? Or was his initial analysis wrong, Jin Ying didn't hide by Lu Qing's side at all?
No way, the source that Jin Ying followed Lu Qing into the hospital is absolutely reliable, and he has been guarding the hospital for several days, and he is sure that Jin Ying has never come out. Was this really a trap, or did Lu Qing use some method to hide Jin Hotaru somewhere else?
If you want to find Jin Hotaru, it's best to leave the hospital after Lu Qing gets off work and enter the hospital to search slowly, but ...... When Zhang Jie saw a little monster disguised as a human and reverently blending into the crowd of people who were seeing a doctor, he slapped his head: "Why didn't I think of it, this is the stupidest way, isn't Lu Qing even prepared for this?"
The little youkai lingered in the outpatient department for a long time, and then reluctantly walked to the hospital, perhaps forced by some more powerful youkai to come here to inquire about the news.
This is a good way, even if he is caught by Lu Qing, because he is forced to be helpless, and his mana is very low, Lu Qing will not kill him, if he is lucky not to be discovered, then there will be a little gain, right?
Zhang Jie was very concerned about the fate of this little monster, so he adjusted his field of vision and kept an eye on him. But Zhang Jie's disappointment happened, and within a few minutes, the little monster was taken out of the hospital, and it was unbelievable that it was not Lu Qing who grabbed him, but the Luo Luo bird Wu Yifan, who was engaged in the entertainment industry, which was difficult for the monsters to understand.
"Why did you steal my agent's stuff?" Lynch Fan stared at the little monster with a vicious look.
"I, I, I...... The little monster was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Wu Yifan is a carnivorous monster. His eyes were full of killing and appetite at this time, and the momentum was quite terrifying, "I didn't steal ......"
"I still want to deny it, so what are you holding in your hand?" Wu Yifan wrenched the little monster's wrist, and sure enough, the little monster was holding a black wallet in his hand, because he was too afraid that he had pinched it out of shape.
Zhang Jie sneered, a Luo Luo bird wanted to give a little monster a hint, let the other party do something, and then use this as an excuse to clean up the other party, this method is really not difficult.
