(☆ Foreword: For the convenience of readers, from this chapter onwards, all complex English dialogues will appear in Chinese)
Coming to a big black iron gate, the two stopped, and the sound of "bang~~~bang~~bang" came from inside the city from time to time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This black iron door is what you said... The entrance to the old city?" Ling Xue's voice trembled a little, for a person who grew up in a civilized city, this reaction after hearing the gunshots was normal.
Ming Cheng took out a cigarette and lit it, and smoked, "Hmm... Don't come near yet, we'll wait for the car to come."
"Wait for the car, isn't there a taxi next to the iron gate?" Ling Xue pointed over.
"Hehe... I don't dare to sit in that kind of car, remember when I was on the boat I told you about the city of Santa Annapura?"
"Hmm...," Ling Xue nodded.
"There are only 3 modes of transport that are safe in the old town, no matter what time of day... Under any circumstances, it will not be the target of the attack, one is the car in the special forces management area, the second is the ambulance of the hospital, and the third is..."Just as Ming Cheng was about to speak, a black 1962 Dodgedart (Dodgedart) stopped in front of him, and a large cross was printed on the engine cover "Hmph~ Three is... Church car".
Ling Xue looked at the black sedan in front of her and asked curiously, "Why won't the church's car be attacked?"
"Who knows... Maybe they are afraid that they will not be able to pray anymore after attacking God's believers, or maybe..."After Ming Cheng threw the cigarette on the floor and stepped on it, he leaned over to the black car, and then the window of the black car rolled down, and a dark burgundy gun came out of it, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Ming Cheng, but Ming Cheng continued to say indifferently, "These nuns in the church are more cruel than them... more violent".
"Ahh Don't" Ling Xue saw a gun facing Ming Cheng, covered her mouth with her hands and screamed, and then quickly ran to Ming Cheng, holding him with his back to the muzzle, trembling with fear.
Ming Cheng stroked Ling Xue's hair and whispered in her ear, "Xue, don't worry, it's okay."
"Huh... Ha... Ha, is this the woman you are now? Narutokoto, no... Since you've chosen to go back to this place, I should call you osiris right now, right?" a nun wearing sunglasses and a black nun dress poked her head out of the car window.
"Erin, you still haven't changed, you're still so naughty, and..." said Ming Cheng's face suddenly changed, looking at the gun in her hand, "Who allowed you to take my Sha Mo Zhi Eagle (a semi-automatic pistol that fires 0.357 Magnum revolver rounds)".
"Heh~ Don't be angry", Erin sneered, "It's not because I heard Our Lady say that you want to come back... You should know that in this place, without it (finger pistol) even you... I guess I'm more or less insecure... I specially took it out and gave it to you, so take it... The bullets have already been loaded for you."
"Hmph~ That's really thank you, for thinking so much about me."
"Hmph~ I'm just afraid that you'll die on the side of the road as soon as you come back.... Okay, let's get in the car, what's the matter when we get to church" Erin rolled up the window after handing the gun to Ming Cheng.
Ling Xue looked at the two people who had been talking, her body suddenly relaxed, and she thought: It turns out that the two of them know each other.
"Snow, let's go, let's get in the car".
Ling Xue nodded slightly, "Hmm...".
The car followed the seaside road to a large church campus and stopped in front of a small wooden house with only one floor.
"Do you still have an impression of this... Your house key, I've kept it for you since you're gone... Take it," Erin handed the key to Ming Cheng, "Later, you can go directly to the church dining room, Our Lady is waiting for you," and drove to the attic next to him.
Looking at Erin, who had already driven away, Naruto whispered her name "Erin...".
...
Opened the door and it was very clean and spotlessly clean, the living room and bedroom were connected together... There are no doors and all the furniture is complete.
"Happy... Is this chalet a church room?".
"No, this is where I used to live with Irene, it's my old house here" Ming Cheng came to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, "Hmph, these beers should be left over from Erin."
"Erin, is that girl just now, what is her relationship with you?" Ling Xue asked curiously.
Ming Cheng picked up a can of beer, opened the lid and drank it, "Friends and sex~partners who grew up together".
After hearing this, Ling Xue walked behind Ming Cheng and kept patting his back with both hands, "You bastard... Dead pervert".
"Okay, okay, it's all in the past, besides, you said you wanted to know about my past, so you can't accept this?"
"Hmph~ Tell me honestly, do you have any other feelings for her?".
Ming Cheng looked back at Ling Xue, "What other feelings? What kind of relationship do you say is between men and women?"
"Hmm" Ling Xue became shy, as if she was a little jealous.
"No! To be honest, all we have is friendship, if there is a deeper one, it is brother and sister love."
"Can I trust you?".
"You have to trust me, if I want to lie, there is no need to bring you to such a dangerous place."
"Well, I believe you, but you have to promise me that from now on, end your se... x~partner relationship," Ling Xue blushed and whispered.
"Are you really jealous?".
Seeing that Ming Cheng didn't answer his question directly, Ling Xue coquettishly said, "Do you agree?"
"Good~Good~ Good... I promise you, and again... In fact, when I left two years ago, this relationship was over, if I really didn't want to leave here, I wouldn't have left here in the first place" Ming Cheng turned his head to look out the window at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery "Come, I'll take you with your luggage into the bedroom and put it first."
The bedroom is not big, there is only a bed 1.8 meters wide and a small wardrobe inside.
Ling Xue looked at it and couldn't help but ask, "There's only one bed?"
"yes, what's wrong?".
"And how do we sleep?".
"Hi~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ Of course you slept with me," Ming Cheng smirked weirdly.
At this time, Ling Xue's face was already flushed, "It's dead... Dead pervert ....".
"Huh~~ Didn't you say you wanted to be my woman?".
"It's not time yet, didn't you say, until I fully accept your past... Will you accept my love for you?".
"Ha~ha~ha..."Ming Cheng laughed happily, "Funny you, you sleep here, I sleep on the sofa in the living room."
"Hmph~ I hate it, what are you doing besides bullying me" Ling Xue pursed her lips, no longer paying attention to Ming Cheng, and began to pull the suitcase down next to the wardrobe and tidy it up, at this time she saw the photo on the wardrobe "Ming Cheng, who are these people in the photo?"
"Damn Irene... Nosy" Ming Cheng's face changed, looking a little sad, he didn't answer Ling Xue's question properly, "I'll tell you later, hurry up and pack our luggage, we still have to go to the church for dinner" After speaking, he walked out of the bedroom.
Looking at Ming Cheng's departing back, looking back at the two women hugging him in the photo, Ling Xue more or less knew who they were.
Ming Cheng walked to the railing outside the wooden house, lit a cigarette, and looked at the blue sky, "I'm back... Back to this place where we have lived together".
After simply packing up their things, the two walked slowly on the lawn in the garden to the dining room in the attic of the church.
"You're so slow, I'm starving to death," Erin yelled.
Then a woman came out of a sunny and gloomy place, "Osiris, long time no see, I really didn't expect you to come back to this place again".
Ming Cheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Ling Xue, who was standing beside him, "It's just a few days back, I just want to take her to see the places where I used to live."
"Haha, if Natasha and Miho could see you now, I think they would be happy for you too" The woman turned around and sat down in her place "Okay, you guys should also sit down and start eating".
Ling Xue looked at this woman with a strong sense of oppression, and couldn't help but turn her head curiously and ask Ming Cheng, "Who is this domineering woman?"
"That's Our Lady, my teacher... Former Supreme Commander of the Marine Corps... The rank of general, she brought me to this city when I was a child."
Ling Xue was very surprised when she heard this, this was not surprising, with such a high rank and such a strong aura, it was difficult not to be surprised.
"Xue, let's sit down, let's talk about it after eating" Ming Cheng pulled out a stool for Ling Xue.
"Hmm...".
The rules of the church are very strict, and it is not allowed to talk during the meal.
....
After the meal, the nuns were cleaning up the dishes on the table, when the Virgin spoke, "When are you going to pass?"
"Tomorrow," Naruto said, not looking at the Virgin.
"Do you need me to prepare something for you?".
"One car, one bottle of Martell".
"I'll be ready to give you the car, if you have wine, you can go to the fluorescent~bar (fluorescent bar) to find Phyllis to ask for it, I heard that you are coming back, she can't wait to see you" After speaking... Our Lady got up and left.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the entire restaurant: Ming Cheng, Ling Xue and Erin.
Ming Cheng also stood up and looked at Erin, "Erin, why are you still here, do you want to send us over?".
"I just want to go over and have a drink or two, don't be too sentimental, wait for me at the door, I'll go drive" After saying that, Erin also left and walked out.
"Listen to me, Xue, and then you will take out the chain I gave you around your neck and put it on your chest, don't stuff it inside your clothes."
"Why" Ling Xue was a little incomprehensible.
"Because no matter who you are in this city, whenever you see someone wearing these two chains, they will be far away, they will not approach easily, and they will not attack the holder of the chain under any circumstances, and they will definitely protect your safety."
Ling Xue took the chains out of her clothes and looked at them again, "These two chains are what the Holy Mother said just now. Natasha and Mie's, their names are still engraved on the tag."
"Hmm... Yes... I will definitely tell you the details tomorrow, including everything about me," Ming Cheng said hurriedly with a little sadness.
"Okay, I see, I'll listen to you when the time comes."
After explaining Ling Xue, the two also left the restaurant, Erin's car had already stopped at the door, and after getting into the car, the three of them rushed to the fluorescent bar in the old city.
