Chapter 65: The Maniac
Suddenly, she burst out laughing. Then she nodded again, and let out a well-behaved "hmm".
Listening to the laughter that was full of spirit again with promise, Wen Yan also suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them snuggled up to each other like this, as if they were warming each other.
Unconsciously, there was an ambiguous smell in the air. The relationship between the two seemed to heat up rapidly in an instant, and they couldn't even stop the promise to step on the brakes, so they had to let it develop.
It's just that she originally wanted to ask him why Wen Yan also appeared here, but when she plucked up her courage, she found that he was injured and leaned on her weak shoulder, looking quiet, as if he was asleep.
At this time, the moonlight, which had been blocked by the clouds, gradually broke free from its restraints, slowly stretched its body, penetrated the window, and illuminated the originally dim room. The field of vision widened, at least not as blurry as before.
Xu Promise looked at the wonderful scene of the moonlight like water outside the window, and his expression softened.
Suddenly, her eyes wandered, and she suddenly noticed that there was another door in the corner over there, but it was very narrow, and it was blocked by the goods.
She was ecstatic at the discovery. She immediately gently leaned Wen Yan's head against the wall, and then hurriedly got up. Hurried through one cargo after another, and then came to the door.
Through the hidden door, she could clearly see inside the bar. This unexpected gain gave her instant confidence. She was finally able to get out of danger on her own. It's just that the gate is so narrow that it can only be passed through by someone as thin as promised. She looked at the tall Wen Yan with some concern, and her eyes couldn't help but feel lost.
So, she tried to find a way to move the goods in front of the door. But these boxes of goods usually need two big men to carry them, and a weak woman can't shake even a point. Moreover, the stacked boxes are more than two meters high. She couldn't carry the boxes on her own.
This can make the promise difficult. finally found a glimmer of hope, and it was pinched in her hands, but she couldn't grasp it well.
And now there is only one way left, that is, to promise to go out first, and then to move the rescue troops, and then rescue Wen Yan who is resting in the corner! Thinking like this, I am afraid that the only way to succeed! No way, even if I promise to let go of Wen Yan again, I can only go out first.
I didn't expect that when she just squeezed out, she touched a hard chest!
She rubbed her pretty nose and looked up to see the comer, and her mouth grew in surprise to swallow an egg!
Xi Muchen!
At this time, he was like a lifesaver for her, she immediately grabbed his sleeve and begged: "Xi Muchen! You came just in time! Wen Yan is trapped inside now, can you go and save him?"
Who knew that he was originally surprised by her appearance, and as soon as he heard the name of "Wen Yan", his face turned blue in an instant. He stared at Promise for three seconds with a serious expression, and then grabbed Promise's outstretched wrist without saying a word. She was in pain, but he didn't care. Then, he looked around vigilantly, and after making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, he pulled the promise and left the bar.
Promise staggered after him and almost fell. Originally, she had tried to struggle, but when she caught a glimpse of Xi Muchen's serious expression, she knew that Wen Yan's matter was not as simple as she thought.
And Xi Muchen, who was beside her, pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word. It seems that he has no intention of saving Wen Yan.
Just seeing his expression, Xu Yu understood his thoughts, and she smiled bitterly and pulled the corners of her mouth, not feeling cold. She secretly sighed at Xi Muchen's cold-bloodedness, afraid that no one around her was as ruthless as him!
At this time, Yan Shan, who was panicked on the other side, hesitated for a while, and repeatedly confirmed that no one noticed her. She had thought it would be a while to be able to drag it out for a while.
But from time to time, she would recall Wen Yan's expression when she spoke harshly, and that look was like a demon crawling out of hell. To this day, she was still shivering with fear.
Maybe she still has a conscience deep in her heart, and the ghost sent her to the place where she took the key in a trance. It's just that the first time she came here, she was arrogant, but when she came again, she was cowering, her eyes rolling, and she looked like a thief who came out to commit a crime for the first time.
And she happened to be standing in the corner of the surveillance at this time, which she learned by chance from a colleague. That's why she was able to get through under Wen Yan's nose again and again.
"Brush", that's the sound of her opening the drawer. Although she had confirmed that there was no living creature around her but her, for some reason, there was always a feeling of being a thief following her. Ever since Promise was locked in a small dark room by her, she had such a feeling. It was inseparable, tickling her heart.
There is a large string of keys stacked inside, all of which are specially kept in the bar to prevent the loss of the keys. Yan Shan's gaze wandered between the messy string of keys. Soon, she found the key to the little black room. It's just a little strange that she didn't put the key in this keychain last time.
But she didn't think much about it, guessing that it was because the old king in charge of the key was bored that he changed the keychain where the key was located......
Then, she immediately removed the key from the keychain and held it tightly in her hand. Looking around, she looked nervous, obviously overly nervous.
Then, she leaned over, quietly poked out, took a deep breath, straightened up again, and returned to her original high-spirited appearance. Her face was calm, and she pretended that nothing had happened, twisted her water snake waist, and swaggered out of the room.
Then she saw that there was no one around. So he hurried to the small black house. Walking through the familiar corridors, she shuttled in and out of the dim light, and the hurried figure shrouded her anxious face with a veil of mystery. Even the occasional colleague doesn't have time to say hello.
Finally, go round and round. Yan Shan came to the front of the small black room. She stared blankly at the door, which was closed. Despite her efforts to pretend to be innocent, she was still a little sad and weeping. She forced herself to put on a stinky face in front of her subordinates, and she played with it for a long time, but it still had no effect at all.
No, her psychological defenses were being broken little by little as time passed.
She subconsciously looked around, after making sure no one was passing by. She pulled out the key with her trembling hands, her hands sweaty. Even during the interview, she Yan Shan was not as nervous as she is now.
She tried hard to insert the key into the keyhole, but her trembling hand always refused to listen to her brain, and she poked it a few times and was stunned but did not insert it. As if she was a little annoyed, she was ruthless and closed her eyes. This time, it worked.
There is a "click" sound, which is the sound of the key unlocking. The crisp sound startled Yan Shan in the dim environment. She quickly patted her heart and soothed her for a while before she calmed down. She gently rested her hand on the doorknob and swallowed. Then, turning around, he pushed inside, and the door opened.
But it wasn't as scary as she thought, because the bright moonlight pierced through the glass, creating a hazy atmosphere in the room.
Yan Shan stepped in boldly, and suddenly a gust of wind blew and closed the door behind her.
There was a "bang", and she was about to jump to her feet. It's just that she came to find the promise, after all, the key is still in her hand, and there is no need for her to go back to check if the door is locked. I saw her tiptoe deep into the room, her eyes flashing, revealing a gleam.
"Promise...... Promise...... I've found the key......" she cried quietly, like a tiny mosquito call, buzzing, quite annoying.
Seeing that no one responded, she unconsciously raised her voice again, calling the name of the promise in her mouth, her lips closed together, and she explained a lot of reasons in a trembling voice. But she didn't expect that the promise had already escaped, and she was not in it at all. No matter how powerful she said, she couldn't let her promise hear, let alone trust.
And all this happened to fall into the ears of Wen Yan, who was half asleep and half awake. He frowned slightly, but his eyelids were too heavy to be lifted. As if the position against the wall was not very comfortable, he was lightheaded, and he fell straight down the wall.
A strange sound suddenly erupted, which really startled the flustered Yan Shan.
She thought back to the look on her face when she first came to the little dark room, and guessed that she must have fainted with fear. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer. Perhaps a little bolder, she followed the sound and walked towards Wen Yan's place.
The footsteps were getting closer. However, Wen Yan fell asleep because he accidentally hit his head, and he had no defense against Yan Shan's approach.
Yan Shan took advantage of the cold moonlight to explore the road. It didn't take long to find Wen Yan. The soft white moonlight sprinkled on his face, lining his already pale face even more and more terrifyingly.
And when she saw Wen Yan, she couldn't help but scream: "Ahhh
How could it be, how could it be—wasn't it supposed to be promised here? How could it be Wen Yan!
She saw dirty, somewhat messy footprints on Wen Yan's body. As if she had been bullied, she couldn't care about her image anymore, and ran to the door like crazy.
Maybe because of some fear, my trembling hands couldn't hold the doorknob at all. But it hurt the hands of the fine skin and tender meat. It took a few hard turns before the door was opened by her.
At this time, she saw the door open, and immediately fled in panic. And everyone who passed by couldn't help but look back at her a few times when they saw her discolored, as if they were alive and dead. And every time she met someone, she grabbed the person's collar like crazy, screaming and telling him that Wen Yan was unconscious in the storage room!
Although everyone didn't believe her in such a loss of mind, because she was the supervisor and the protagonist of the topic was Wen Yan, they all rushed to the storage room with her.
And just like that, a mighty couple followed her ass, the cacophony of voices disrupted the normal operation of the bar, and everyone of good deeds hurried to the storage room where Promise had been locked up!
"You let go of me!"
All I heard was a roar.
The promise simply broke free from Xi Muchen's shackles. Or by inertia, she staggered back a few steps with a force.
At this time, she looked a little embarrassed, her eyes flashed, and her smart eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of disappointment. The wind slightly ruffled her short hair, tickling her eyes, and kept blinking.
Xi Muchen, who was confronting her, looked down at her stubborn expression expressionlessly, with his hands in his pockets, and the tie around his neck floated slightly. I saw a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth. I repeatedly laugh at the inadequacy of promises. Also, if he really wants to make a move, he promises that he will not be his opponent.
Looking at his fine skin, she couldn't get angry. His red wrist was sobbing, and her right hand climbed up to the wrist of her left hand, rubbing it gently, as if to relieve the pain coming from her wrist. It's just that the more she rubs it, the more the red mark refuses to dissipate easily.
The two froze for a moment, and Promise hung his hand indignantly, allowing the red seal to dissipate alone. She was a little angry and stroked the broken hair that was blocking her vision. Don't look over your head and look away. And Xi Muchen on the side looked at Xu Nuo's flickering eyes, as if he had settled her. The smile on his lips deepened, like a defeated captive on the battlefield.
He leaned against the street lamp with some indifference, and although it was close to the early hours of the morning, the dim light was still on in a trance, as if it was the last moan before it was turned off. It's like a promise that it's useless, but it's still dying.
The light reflected on his three-dimensional facial features, and the light blue morning set off a hazy artistic conception. Her wet eyes were unconsciously attracted by this scene, and when she looked up slightly, she could see the moon rings that had not yet set and the sun that was about to rise. The sun and the moon shine together. For some reason, she gently summoned these four words.
Suddenly, she frowned, as if some bad premonition flashed into her mind. The appearances of Wen Yan and Xi Muchen were reflected in front of her eyes together...... That's when she pulled herself out of her deep thoughts.
"Xi Muchen, what are you pulling me out for?" Xu Xu said as if he was a little unnatural, but at the same time, he was full of concern for Wen Yan, who was injured in the dark room. When she thought of saying goodbye without saying goodbye when she was leaving, she didn't feel like she was a deserter on the battlefield, how could she feel like she was a deserter on the battlefield?
And Xi Muchen, who was leaning on the street lamp on the side, didn't even raise his eyelids as if he hadn't heard her words.
Only then did she realize that he seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, and this tired look reminded her of the same demeanor as Yan under the moonlight, and she opened her mouth in some surprise, but finally did not speak again to interrupt this subtle silence.
Who knows, Xi Muchen, who has been silent, broke the silence a few seconds later.
"Promise, you'd better not meddle in your business......" The hoarse voice sounded in the sky red with the morning sun, but in the eyes of Promise, it was extremely bloody and devastating.
At this time, he opened his eyes, and a cold light that was out of place flashed. Xu Promise witnessed the whole process, she really didn't understand, she shook her head slightly, and slowly took a few steps back. Her eyes couldn't hide her shock, she never thought that he would be so inhuman, and persuaded her to fall with him.
The doubts in my heart are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things that cannot be explained. Irritability and depression disturbed her. Only suddenly, she seemed to grasp a wisp of thought, like the beginning of a mess of threads.
A flash of light flashed in her mind, a ridiculous possibility enveloped her mind, as if an evil spell echoed in her ears over and over again.
She recalled with some surprise the situation when Wen Yan was locked up in the black room, and recalled the previous grievances between Wen Yan and Xi Muchen. In the blink of an eye, it seems that he has seen through a long-planned conspiracy.
At this time, the mastermind behind the scenes is standing in front of her eyes!
However, in the heart of the promise, there was still a beauty for Xi Muchen, and she couldn't believe it, she raised her eyes again to look at Xi Muchen who was shrouded in the morning light, and her originally hard face softened as a result.
As if to verify her doubts, she decided to ask directly.
"Xi Muchen, you...... Don't let me mind Wen Yan's business—isn't it ......" She paused at this point, as if she was inexplicably stuck, and met his inquiring gaze, and continued in a little panic, "Is it because you already knew that there would be such a thing?"
As soon as her voice fell, she didn't expect his inquiring gaze to leave her beautiful face in an instant, and his eyes were a little dilated for a moment, and some unnaturally turned his head slightly.
Xu Yue looked at his silent appearance, and the doubts in her heart seemed to be confirmed, and at this time, the last hope in her heart was also cut off by him. She saw that he was evasive, and before she knew it, a nameless fire was suddenly rushing up.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart, and she once thought that the last trace of humanity hidden in the depths of his heart was also made up by herself. Then, she stepped forward indignantly.
"Did you plan it a long time ago? Did you instigate someone to lock Wen Yan up in that room!"
Seeing the promise's tight questioning, Xi Muchen frowned tightly, and pursed his lips unconsciously, as if he was very unhappy with her anxiety.
"You say, you say!" she asked, and though the answer was already on the tip of her mind, she pressed him with a frenzied trust, hoping that he would disdainfully refute her so-called conjecture in the next second.
Just as she stared at his thin lips expectantly and said sarcastic words, what she was waiting for was the last thing she wanted to hear.
This voice completely collapsed all the beliefs in her heart, and for a moment, she seemed to feel that she was no longer herself, but an empty shell. Then, as if she could no longer suppress the pain in her heart, her eyes went crazy.
"Xi Muchen, you crazy person! Crazy man! How can you be so cold-blooded!" Then, as if she had thought of something, she stomped her feet angrily and shook her head stubbornly, "No, you are not human! You, you are not human!"
She staggered back a few steps, and looked sadly at the starry man who was dressed in a wolf's skin, and the apparent kindness was only a means for him. His heart is long gone, only full of jealousy. She only felt that all her strength was used to shouting, and her legs couldn't help but weaken.
And Xi Muchen on the side saw such an emotionally uncontrollable promise, and her patience had been exhausted. He watched the woman he wanted to protect another man on the street. As if it was contagious, his eyes were also tainted with madness.
"Yes and what, no and so - promise, don't be too presumptuous - you're nothing but a in my eyes—"
He spoke word by word, the corners of his mouth stained with a wisp of mockery. It seems to be mocking the inadequacy of promises, or mocking one's own self-inflicted amorousness. He looked at the promise with disbelief, as if he was upset, and spit out a sentence lightly, which served as the last straw that crushed the promise.
"—better not let me see you again! madman!"
The last words whispered in her ears, so that she could no longer hear what was behind her.
Suddenly, a stream of heat swept across her cheeks. She trembled with her hands and tried to wipe away the tears, but when her vision became clear, it blurred again. After going back and forth like this several times, tears flowed down like a broken embankment.
At this time, she seemed to have learned something, and she could no longer open her mouth to spit out any words, leaving only tinnitus buzzing in her ears and endless humiliation. She whimpered and turned around, and ran away without looking back......
She didn't know how long she ran like this, and she didn't know how many tears were thrown out, but she saw that the road in front of her had been very bumpy, so she kept running numbly, and kept running forward...... The wind buzzed in her ears, and Xi Muchen's last two words kept echoing in her ears and couldn't be dispersed.
Although she tried to wipe away her tears, the grievances in her heart could not be vented, only silent sobs pierced her heart like small needles, and the blood did not stop. Xi Muchen's ruthless words always made her mobilize all her emotions to taste. Sometimes it is not Xi Muchen's torture, but she herself is torturing herself.
Every time she dreams back at midnight, she always thinks that she can be relieved, but when the incident really happened, she suddenly found that she still couldn't bear Xi Muchen's abuse. At this time, she couldn't wait to slap herself, secretly scolding herself for being useless. I don't know how far she ran like this, and the signboard of Wen Yan's bar came into her eyes.
At this point, she ran to the back door of the bar, which reminded her that there were people who needed her more. Wen Yan, who was locked in the storage room, was still waiting for her to save her! Finally, she put aside the blockage in her heart for the time being, and as soon as she thought of Wen Yan, she had infinite energy. Unable to care about anything else, she hurried through the door.
When she entered the bar alone, she found it in a mess, as if someone was making trouble. She was a little worried, and quickly relied on her memory to find the small door. Although her chest was filled with breath as she walked through the door, she gritted her teeth and survived.
