Chapter XXIV: Comprehensive Search

Heavy rain fell all night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The water of the lake has risen a lot, and the ripples are all over the lake, like a blooming silver lotus.

Rain and fog.

The boy stood by the lake, his long black hair soaked by the rain and wet against his cheeks.

"Brother. The figure appeared quietly behind him.

The boy stood there motionless.

He looked at the dark clouds that were surging and tumbling in the sky, and his lips pursed slightly.

That idiot is probably looking for him everywhere right now.

"Brother, welcome back. The elders are waiting for you. ”

Seeing that he still didn't react, the figure frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at the sky with some confusion.

But there was nothing but the swirling clouds and the lightning that flew like silver serpents.

"What's wrong?"

“...... It's nothing. ”

The boy bowed his head and turned to leave.

Behind him, the rolling thunder exploded in the sky, accompanied by scorching electric light.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

The wind lifted the veils and screamed like pale ghosts.

The white-haired old man looked out the window at the churning sea of clouds, the silver snake streaked across the sky, and half of the mask on the right side of his face was illuminated by electric light.

"Elder Xuan, are you looking for me?"

The woman saluted respectfully, her long light purple hair neatly tied up, and her blue-purple robe was starry.

"I'm sorry that something like this happened in Tianshui District. The voice was faint.

"It's because of my poor management and supervision, and if I had found it earlier, I might have been able to avoid this disaster. Qiyuan Hibiscus lowered his head, still maintaining a saluting posture.

"Well, it's too late to say that. Xuan Lao waved his hand.

"It's impossible for a demon to sneak in without triggering the barrier, and Ellens is afraid that there is a mole. ”

His voice was cold, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

"Bring out all those traitors one by one, and according to the Code of Elenis, they will be punished severely!"

"Yes. Qiyuan Hibiscus bowed and slowly stepped back.

The curtains flipped and the room was silent again.

Thunder rumbled, silver snakes shuttled.

The old man looked down at the mountains, rivers and lakes looming under the surging sea of clouds.

The mask glowed with coldness, and a sneer curled into his mouth.

Three hundred years,

This time, he won't repeat the same mistakes.

Pitch black room.

Qianling curled up in the quilt, and Brown Sugar lay on her head and gently licked the tears on her face.

Her eyes were red, a tear slowly slipped from the corner of her eye, and she buried her face deep in the quilt and curled up in a ball.

Lin Chuan stood by the door, watching her finally fall asleep quietly, and sighed slightly.

By the time he found her, she had collapsed unconscious in the pouring rain.

He really didn't expect that in just three months, that unknown child would be so important to her.

The door closes gently.

The rain was torrential, the windows shook violently, the electric light swept by, and the whole hut was as bright as day.

"Satsuki ......"

Muttered in his mouth, tears slowly slid down, soaked in the soft hair.

The icy rain poured in from the window, and Qianling trembled and shrunk into a ball.

It's cold.

She forgot that the place had always been cold.

It's just that after a long time of happy days, she gradually forgot her original appearance.

Maybe that's the truth.

The torrential rain of early summer continued one after another, and the dark clouds floated around Ellens, and the wind stirred the torrential rain without stopping for a moment.

I don't know how many days have passed, I don't know how day and night have transitioned, the world is in chaos, only the sound of the rain drowned out everything.

Early morning.

The rain seemed to be a little lighter, and water droplets were dripping under the eaves.

Qianling woke up in a daze, opened her eyes and looked out the window, and there were still dark clouds pressing down on the city.

The amber eyes were still a little misty, and then gradually cleared.

As if she suddenly remembered something, she looked at the empty bedding beside her, and saw the little white figure.

She looked at the futon in a daze.

It was like a nightmare, and now that she's awake, the nightmare continues.

Tempest somehow opened the closet, revealing the small row of clothes.

Qianling staggered out of bed barefoot.

Slowly reaching out to touch the soft fabrics, his eyes suddenly swept to a pink skirt in the innermost part of the wardrobe.

It was a pink princess dress.

The little pink princess suddenly came to mind, with glittering silver sequins and a proud and luxurious little golden crown, he pursed his lips tightly and glared at her viciously with a dissatisfied expression, but she rushed over and hugged him and rubbed it very nymphoically.

even forced him to wear women's clothes,

Qianling took the princess dress and laughed stupidly.

Her smile stiffened slightly, and she slowly squatted down with the princess dress in her arms.

His head was buried deep in his knees, and his chestnut hair fell down his shoulders, covering his face.

His eyes were so dry that he couldn't shed a single tear.

Quiet cottage with the sound of rain ticking outside the window.

Long.

There was a knock on the door.

Qianling opened the door with her messy hair.

"Xiaoling?" Maruko looked at her in shock, as if frightened by her appearance, "Why did you do this?"

She hung her head and looked like she hadn't woken up.

The door closes gently.

Maruko looked into the room and looked at her with some confusion: "...... You're alone?"

Qianling lowered her head and sat on the sofa without speaking.

"Is that the day...... Not. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at Qianling's face, but her eyes were a little strange.

"Xiaoling, you don't know that Tianshui District has launched a comprehensive search now, right?"

Qianling shook her head, she hadn't been out for a long time.

"I heard that the reason why demons have appeared so frequently lately is because there is a mole in Ellens, and someone has deliberately introduced it. Maruko sat down next to her.

"A few days ago, the vine Luo Angel Seven Gardens Hibiscus issued a notice, people can report any relevant clues, but anyone who provides useful clues can be rewarded, and if they are found to be concealed and not reported, they should be ......punished with the same crime."

She turned her face to look at her.

"Do you have any clues?"

Qianling shook her head dumbfoundedly.

"This search for the mole did not find out, but found out a lot of illegal criminal gangs, yesterday's newspaper said that the leader of a human trafficking gang was caught, and now he is being imprisoned in the spiral tower......" Maruko nodded, "This is long overdue." ”

She was still listless.

Maruko looked at her and sighed slightly.

"You should go out for a walk, if you continue to be bored like this, you will be sick. ”

She nodded mechanically.

“......”

After dinner,

The sunset fills the sky.

"You remember to go for a walk. Maruko looked back and waved at her.

A smile tugged at the corner of Qianling's mouth and waved her hand gently.

Maruko watched as she gently closed the door.

People came and went, people on the street whispered, pointed at the newspaper, and talked about it, which shows that this search has caused an uproar in Tianshui District.

Maruko looked at the rosy sunset floating in the sky, and a complicated look passed through her eyes.

That's it.

She slapped her face hard and turned away.
