Book 1, Volume 3: The Prison of the Snake Chapter 9: Nature
The long dark alleys are often a place where a group of bad teenagers or the bottom of the underworld are mixed, under normal circumstances, Lin Mojia would not choose to go to this kind of place, because it is too dangerous for her to be timid.
But as a student who has always performed well in school, even if she is delayed today because of some things, she doesn't want to be late, although she is a good student in the class, but in fact she is quite afraid of life, not to mention the teacher, even the students She is afraid of communication, so in order to avoid communicating with the teacher in this regard, today she is still ready to go out and walk this alley.
However, the strange thing is that this alley seems to be exceptionally quiet today, which is different from the rumors she usually heard from her classmates? She continued to walk cautiously with a feeling of anxiety, and the smell of the air suddenly changed, could it be that she was too nervous, Lin Mojia felt funny and said to herself, even if it is an alley like this, the smell should not be so pungent, it seems that she is actually so nervous that her sense of smell is wrong.
However, a slight slope of the corner shattered the psychological suggestion that she had been using to deceive others, blood, blood that stained half of the alley to paint the entire gloomy wall red, the pungent smell was not her hallucination, but the real human blood.
Those who were rumored to be demonic bad people outside the school among her classmates have now become mutilated corpses piled up in the alley, their expressions are hideous, as if they have seen something extremely terrifying before they die, what kind of thing did they encounter in this small environment to be able to show that kind of expression, Lin Mojia has no extra emotions to think about this kind of thing, because at this moment her emotions have been completely replaced by fear.
Or maybe she had found the cause of her fear, it was a man, a man covered in scars but not stained with blood, standing quietly in the middle of the corpses, like a hell monarch looking down on his undead servants, without any emotion.
"Are you too, are they together?" To Lin Mojia's surprise, the other party actually spoke Mandarin that she could understand, but for her who was panicked now, she didn't know how to answer this demon's question at all, and instinctively replied "no" after a long time.
"And will you keep this matter a secret?"
"But... OK. Lin Mojia's mind went blank, but the answer saved her life, she didn't know how she walked through the alley full of corpses, because it was tantamount to torture in the real sense for her.
It's just that in the process of enduring the nausea walking, she still couldn't help but glance at the demon secretly with curiosity, and the other party's appearance was not much different from ordinary youth, could it be that demons like to confuse the world in this form? Today's events, even if you say it, no one will believe it, no, you can't say it, otherwise he will really kill me...
Only ten minutes later, an obviously modified Range Rover SUV drove to the alley of the alley, a young and beautiful young lady got out of the car, walked straight into the alley with a clear purpose, glanced at the young man who was sitting on the pile of debris at the entrance of the alley in a daze, and sighed, "Covered with injuries again, what are you going to do this time?"
"Very important things. Facing this lady, the young man smiled stiffly, although his facial expression was not very coordinated, but it could be seen that he really wanted to laugh at this time instead of perfunctory, "Xiaoyuan, did you bring anything here?"
"Well, I'll do it, of course. Liu Jingyuan pointed to the Range Rover SUV at the entrance of the alley, "It's already on the car." β
"Oh, let's go, let's go back first, you drive. Su Jiuxia patted the dust on his body that was not too obvious, put his hands into the bag of the casual clothes on his body, and walked out silently, in the alley behind him, the corpses and bloodstains had already been cleaned up by him with the power of the void spirit, this is what he has always done, concise and clean.
"Speaking of which, why did you appear in Gansu?" Liu Jingyuan sat in the driver's seat and glanced at Su Jiuxia in the co-pilot, although this guy has a withdrawn personality, he used to at least say hello to her before every action, but this time he disappeared without saying a word, making Liu Jingyuan, who thought that he had more or less touched his heart, once again had doubts and curiosity about him.
To be honest, even after ten years together, she still feels puzzled by this strange teenager, obviously a part of his ethereal power can delay growth and aging, but he uses it on her; obviously his current strength makes her understand that he is indeed the kind of existence that is ridiculously strong, but I don't know why she still feels that the Xiaobai-like Jiuxia when she first met is not like pretending, but can it really span so much in ten years? She didn't know, obviously with his level, he could let a better person be his assistant, but he had only contacted his superiors in the outside world for ten years, although this made her a pivotal figure, but she really didn't understand, for her, Su Jiuxia was a mystery, and this mystery was impossible to solve as the closest self now, let alone others.
"It's the same as before, it's boring, come and hang out. Su Jiuxia leaned on the driver's seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, here he finally looked a little more relaxed, and the look on his face was a little more radiant.
"But you're injured now, you shouldn't be hurt to solve those ordinary underworld people with your strength, and your credit card just now shows that you have swiped the bill in the hospital, but it's just a traumatic injury that has seen more than four million? Liu Jingyuan ignored Jiuxia's foolishness while driving the car, and asked rhetorically, under a series of questions, she was really worried about Su Jiuxia, and unconsciously, when he was in charge of all the contacts with this man, he seemed to have become his whole world, and everything about himself revolved around him.
"Well, that's not the cost of my medical treatment, it's just helping someone I've met. β
A trace of blue light appeared in Su Jiuxia's right hand, and through the place where the light passed, the injured muscles began to slowly return to their original appearance after a period of twisting, but from the cold sweat that had begun to rise on Jiuxia's forehead, Liu Jingyuan could see the pain he was enduring now, and there were more scars on his body, the whole process lasted for nearly thirty minutes, and Liu Jingyuan dared to talk to him again after Su Jiuxia took a long breath.
"Why don't you use potions? That will be a lot less painful, and you must answer me this time, every time I watch you treat myself, I feel like I'm being tortured." β
"Because I don't believe in them, I don't believe anything about them, and the people I trust don't make this potion, so I have to do it. Su Jiuxia showed a rare helpless expression outside, he thought about it and gave Liu Jingyuan such an answer, although Liu Jingyuan felt that his real reason was not this, but since he didn't want to say it, let him keep it alone, after all, there are very few people who can make him come up with a reason to be vague about the past.
"I really don't understand why people like you do those dangerous things all day long when you have such good conditions, can't you live a good life quietly. Liu Jingyuan withdrew her gaze and drove the car with peace of mind, but expressed her true opinion on Jiuxia's dangerous lifestyle.
"I've thought about it before. Su Jiuxia replied lightly, this time he was telling the real truth, he didn't want to live like this before.
"And now, you keep punishing those who are guilty, don't you want to be a god of punishment?"
"God?" As if hearing some funny words, Su Jiuxia snorted lightly, "It's a pity, no matter what human beings are, they can't become gods, I'm just, a murderer, a murderer who only dares to whisper and abuse behind their backs." β
Su Jiuxia closed his eyes, he had been active too much recently, and he hadn't rested for a long time, he was going to take a break now, and he had a conversation with Liu Jingyuan, just passing the time.
"You're a priest, and you don't believe in God... Forget it, when I didn't say it. Liu Jingyuan suddenly recalled that Su Jiuxia didn't seem to be a priest because of his belief in Christianity, and he also killed several clergy who advised him to strengthen his Christian faith, although others didn't know about this kind of thing, but he was really clear, because Su Jiuxia didn't hide anything from him.
In this regard, it seems that he can't persuade him back, so he can only explore and understand it by himself.
"Jiuxia, my parents sent a message urging me to go back and get married. β
"Wouldn't it be nice to tell them you're busy at work. β
"I'm thirty-four, okay... Why don't you come home with me and deal with your parents?"
"Okay, but when the time comes, you can teach me how to communicate, I'm not a very mentally normal person... He was also a homeless murderer. The second half of the whispered murmur was like a dream, and Liu Jingyuan didn't hear it, maybe he didn't hear it himself, but he was already very surprised that Jiuxia could agree to his request.
As the closest person, Liu Jingyuan can feel that in Jiuxia's heart wrapped in layers of ice, there is enough tenderness to ignite others.
"Why don't you be a little more kind to others, obviously staying with you, I think you should be a very gentle person. β
"Because then they will expect me to be gentle all the time, and many times in the past, the gentleness to others did not let me be treated kindly, but let them gain an inch, but when I was cruel, occasional kindness would make them grateful to Dade..."
He didn't want his grief to become the residue of others chewing it repeatedly, so he never planned to show him to the world, because human sympathy is also limited, and no matter how tragic things are, repeated again and again will become a laughing stock for everyone, in that case, it is better to have it alone.
The car drove quietly, Liu Jingyuan didn't make a sound, she felt that this kind of peaceful sleep might be a rare thing for Su Jiuxia, so everything was quiet, and gradually drove to the next destination.
......
In Qinhuai District, Nanjing, in the courtyard of an ancient house, two relatively planted begonia trees have reached the flowering season, and the pale pink flowers of the trees are filled with the light fragrance in the air, which is a fragrance that makes people feel untouched, but it can make people feel comfortable unconsciously, so that everyone who enters this yard can alleviate their negative emotions no matter how irritable.
In the courtyard with an ancient style, Xiao Legong, who was sitting on a chair, was raising his head, quietly looking at Su Qianyu who was leaning under the roots of the begonia tree and had fallen asleep, such a quiet time To be honest, he has always thought that it would be good to have a little more, even if he has spent ten years with her, and even has their own child-Xiao Qingyu, but Xiao Legong sometimes still feels that his acquaintance with Su Qianyu at that time is full of incredible, and her personality has not changed as it was ten years ago.
Although Su Qianyu had never communicated her thoughts with anyone else, the notes scattered around the roots of the tree might give others a glimpse into her inner world.
"This year, the begonia flowers have finally bloomed, and they are really as beautiful as described in the Le Palace, but the Le Palace has not come back yet..."
"I'm so bored today, I really want to go out and have a look, but the palace won't let me go out alone..."
"Le Gong, when are you coming back? It's so boring to be here alone..."
......
This is all her spiritual world, only Xiao Legong and herself, maybe the current Xiao Qingyu will also have a place, but the other people are really not important to Su Qianyu at all.
has not been bound by secular ethics, nor has she any intention of trying to integrate into the so-called big family of society, except for herself, she has only been in contact with her daughter Xiao Qingyu, a lonely monster, from the beginning to the present, has always been her original appearance.
"Hey, I said you two parents don't take care of this child, I'm almost exhausted. β
From the point of view of appearance, Chen Linxuan, who looked unchanged from ten years ago, came out of the door with Xiao Qingyu, who was still sleeping in her arms, her feminine and charming face was full of speechless expressions at the moment, she looked at the two people in the courtyard, ten years, it is not a long time for people like them who have the spiritual power and alien factors to transform their bodies, although their bodies are aging, but their appearance will not change much, so except for Su Jiuxia, the other people in Scarlet Night have not changed much.
"Well, whoever makes us won't... I have to ask you. Xiao Legong smiled awkwardly, as if as Xiao Qingyu grew up, she spent more time with Chen Linxuan than with him and Su Qianyu.
"Say it like I would. β
"Heh, are you learning this aspect quickly, right, how is the discussion inside?" Xiao Le Gong quickly changed the topic and focused in the direction of their discussion in the room.
"The bodies of Ling Jin and Cang Wei have been secretly cremated, but Zhang Cangyun is still missing, no matter how we look for him, we still can't find him, the law enforcers seem to be also secretly rendezvous with Fang Yunshan, after all, the death this time was one of their three family masters, Yue Yuming, and the impact is still very great. Since Xiao Legong asked a question, Chen Linxuan slowly retold the results of the discussion in the room to him, "Speaking of which, you seem to have been seriously injured last time, how do you feel?"
"It's okay with that injury, but my consciousness is a little blurry from time to time, and it should be healed after a while. Xiao Le Gong's eyes looked at Su Qianyu who was sleeping under the begonia tree, he didn't tell anyone about the fact that she was the dragon king, so the other people in the scarlet night just thought that she was a strange half-blood, maybe because she was the dragon king, even if she didn't have the kind of earth-destroying power in the data, but it was still extremely effective in treating his injuries, basically a very serious injury could be completely recovered in about two or three days, and this time it had been five days and he was still a little dizzy, to be honest, he was still a little surprised.
"I don't know what it's going to look like next, it's getting messy. β
Xiao Legong took Xiao Qingyu in Chen Linxuan's hand, held it in his arms and looked at her carefully, as the child of him and Qianyu, she was eight years old, she could faintly see that she inherited her mother's appearance, and her usual personality was more similar to him, they all belonged to the type of one tendon to work hard to the end, although he hoped that Qingyu could take the initiative to choose to live a dull life, but he ignored the subtle influence of being the closest person to her, she would naturally try to get closer to her parents and gradually embark on this road, so as the child grows up day by day, Xiao Legong is also becoming more and more confusedγ
"Light Feather is really beautiful. Although she gets along day and night, Chen Linxuan still praised it, that was her true thoughts.
"You can have one, too. β
"Come on, I don't even have a partner, and besides, I seem... I forgot something important, and I won't get married until I figure it out. Chen Linxuan waved her hand and said that getting married or something was still unrealistic for her.
"It's a pity, everyone can see that the lord of the law enforcer has a lot of affection for you, and you also have a good conversation. β
"It's a good conversation... But he just came to me to be a friend, you think too much, and he doesn't have that kind of thought. Chen Linxuan's answer still made Xiao Legong speechless, it is quite strange that the reaction in this regard can be dulled to such an extent, does it mean that Chen Linxuan actually knows, but there is something in her heart, so there is no way to accept it?
