Chapter 2: Purifying the Soul?

When the girl saw Yue Shaoyi looking at her, she immediately turned her head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yue Shaoyi frowned.

Staring at the words on the table, he gradually calmed down.

[Is it a coincidence?] Or was it specially engraved for me? ]

Yue Shaoyi saw that the notch was still very new, and it was very likely that it was carved recently. But how did the person who carved the inscription know that he would be sitting here?

[Is that man really not dead?] Impossible...... I watched him die...... Is this engraved word just a coincidence? ]

Yue Shaoyi shook his head fiercely and didn't continue to think about it. There is no point in guessing.

He stared at the line, then looked up at the girl sitting in the front row, his mind clouded with great doubt.

What's going on with all this?

…………………………………………

The day passed quickly, and it was dusk in the blink of an eye. Yue Shaoyi walked out of the school gate with his bag on his back, and instead of taking the subway home, he took a car to the most prosperous and chaotic neighborhood in Yunchuan City at night: Night Paradise.

Yue Shaoyi stood in the bus and looked out the window, and almost all the people standing next to him were looking down at their mobile phones. Outside the window, the street is clean and wide, and the sidewalks are bustling with pedestrians when students are out of school and adults are off work. There are more and more people on the bus, and the subway station is crowded with countless people.

The bus stopped abruptly and seemed to be stuck in traffic again.

[It's the busiest time for Yunchuan.] Yue Shaoyi squeezed towards the back of the bus.

Yunchuan City covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers and has a population of more than 25 million. The economy, transportation, science and technology, industry, finance, shipping, and aerospace are all extremely developed. The total GDP ranks second in the country, after the capital. The cargo throughput and container throughput of Yunchuan Port have always ranked first in the world. Yunchuan City is divided into 17 districts and one county, with 7 in the central urban area, two in the semi-central district, and 8 in the suburbs. And Yue Shaoyi is going to one of the suburbs. Jingning District, known as the "Night Paradise". It's also the darkest part of the sparkling city.

The neighborhood is disgusting. Of course, it's not that it's dirty, on the contrary, although it's a suburb, it looks gorgeous and far more prosperous than the others. Every night, the neighborhood glows with brilliant neon. Even in the middle of the night, the streets are crowded with pedestrians. And at the end of this neighborhood to the southeast is the most famous scenic spot in Yunchuan City: Neon Beach. In the eyes of most people, the environment here is excellent, but there is a good saying: the gold is outside, and the corruption is in it. I don't know how much dirty things are going on under its gorgeous disguise.

The facilities and logistics in this neighborhood are not inexhaustible, especially in terms of entertainment facilities. As long as there is enough money, whatever it is, it can be bought in this neighborhood. By the way, the largest black market in the city is in this neighborhood.

At the same time, this neighborhood is also home to a variety of people from all walks of life, whether it is the elite of the upper class or the beggars who make a living by begging, the white-collar workers of the company or the directors of any consortium, as long as they are willing to pay, then they can enjoy themselves unscrupulously in this neighborhood. Outlaws, drug dealers, prostitutes, killers, intelligence dealers, gangsters, cults, arms dealers, thieves, tomb robbers, traffickers, crooks, and more are at home here. Because the police here are very indifferent, even if there are often crossfires between gangs. Because the benefits brought to the city here are too huge, because some high-level people in Yunchuan took the money here. It is also for these reasons that the crime rate in this neighborhood is far higher than that of other neighborhoods in Yunchuan that are already not low.

If the rapid development of the economy and the rapid development of the city need to pay some price, then for Yunchuan, this price is the ultra-high crime rate that other ordinary cities can hardly match.

Yue Shaoyi sighed when he thought of that man every time he thought of it before he died, but even if that man was regarded as a hero in the police world, he was also subject to the restrictions of the higher-ups. He had always regarded Night Heaven as a cancer that would sooner or later tear the city apart.

Yue Shaoyi got off the bus and stood at the entrance of this block, and couldn't help but feel that the boundary of this block was so clear. Outside the block, people hurried away from the fatigue of the day and the longing to go home, eager to enjoy a peaceful life with a cup of tea at the end of the meal, sitting on the sofa watching TV with their families. And the people in the neighborhood are full of energy, and they are preparing with anticipation to meet another night of madness, pursuing more exciting madness.

It's a strange world, just in two different neighborhoods, but it seems like you're in two completely different worlds.

Yue Shaoyi hasn't been here since he was released from prison last year, because his father and sister have been extremely strict about how he can deal with some people here.

[But now it's different, the man is gone.] ]

And after a quiet year, his sister already trusted Yue Shaoyi that she would no longer deal with those who disgusted her. Yue Shaoyi couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he had failed his sister again.

But he had to come here, and there was one thing that had dragged on for too long, and several people had lived too long. Those people he hated would kill even if he were to be locked up in prison for the rest of his life.

So in order to find them, Yue Shaoyi had to go and meet a friend. This friend can be said to be the biggest intelligence dealer in Yunchuan, and he has almost anyone's information and movements. The man known as the "Faceless Ghost", his name is Yehou, and he lives in this neighborhood.

Yue Shaoyi walked into this neighborhood and found that there was hardly any change here. The number of people coming and going is still so complicated.

Several well-dressed young men walked by with pale faces, their faces haggard but unable to hide the excitement in their eyes, apparently indulging in lust all day. On the corner of the street stood a couple of flamboyantly dressed youths who were sneakily trading something. On the side of the road, several scantily clad women with heavy makeup kept winking at passers-by, only to shout a few times, 'Uncle is here to play'. Of course, there are more people who can't see their careers. It's not dark yet, but there are already a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the trend is still increasing.

At this moment, Yue Shaoyi saw a man dressed strangely.

[This is...... cosplay? ]

He looked closely at the muscular, muscular man with green algae head and hair that looked like green algae.

The man had short green hair and three earrings in the shape of water droplets on his left ear. His left eye was closed by a scar, and his right eye, which was open and closed, was as fierce as a tiger wolf. He was dressed in a dark green coat, with a red belt tied with three knives, one black, one white and one red, and inside the coat was a belly roll of the same color as his hair, and a dark green turban was tied to his left arm. He was bare on his chest, and a scar stretched diagonally from his chest to his abdomen.

He walked past Yue Shaoyi without squinting with his hand on the hilt, and his momentum was strong.

[It's amazing, it's the most Sauron-like I've ever seen......]

Yue Shaoyi watched the man slowly walk away, he turned his head, he didn't care too much, it was just cosplay. He walked straight ahead, then turned from memory into an inconspicuous alley. Then I unexpectedly saw three white-haired thugs pulling a struggling girl.

Yue Shaoyi walked over indifferently and ignored them. It's not dark yet, and even though there are few people coming and going in this alley, no gangster idiot is enough to commit a crime at this time. Usually this kind of situation is the gangsters and the girl teamed up to trap the tourists with a sense of justice in the field, and the people who are often in the night heaven will not care.

He walked slowly, but finally stopped. Yue Shaoyi turned around. Seeing that the girl had tears in her eyes, and the helplessness and despair on her beautiful face did not seem to be fake, and the girl was dressed strangely. Her clothes resemble those of the strange woman at the funeral, but they don't have any strange patterns. Her clothes resembled a Japanese kimono, torn and messy, revealing her long, slender white legs.

And the three thugs were also very strange, with silver hair, bloodshot eyes, distorted and crazy expressions, and saliva flowing from the corners of their mouths.

[What a hassle...... Woman's Tears ......]

Yue Shaoyi turned around and walked towards them.

"Hey, you three, get in my way, get out of the way." Yue Shaoyi frowned and looked at them viciously.

The three of them turned their heads slowly and looked at each other for a moment, all with doubts on their faces.

"Can you see us?" One of the silver-haired men standing in the middle of them asked hoarsely, his eyes seemed to be more bloodshot, and his eyeballs even protruded a little.

Yue Shaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Get out!" ”

[Sick?] Now the gangsters are counting on passers-by to pretend not to see the bad things? Yue Shaoyi thought irritably, looking at the three people carefully.

The three guys all looked about the same and wore the same clothes, but the middle one seemed to be taller and stood taller, probably the first of the three.

The man in the middle looked at Yue Shaoyi, turned around and whispered to the two guys behind him, Yue Shaoyi didn't hear clearly, but there was a clear sentence.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Kill him! ”

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the two silver-haired thugs rushed over, and the speed was unusually fast. Yue Shaoyi was originally far away from them, about 8 or 9 meters away, but they rushed in front of him almost instantly.

Yue Shaoyi reflexively raised his hands to protect the front door, and at the same time burst back. Almost as soon as he stepped back, the silver-haired fist on his left had arrived, slamming into his arm. With the huge impact, Yue Shaoyi took two steps back.

Feeling the pain in his left arm, he couldn't help but be surprised.

[Is even a thug so strong now......]

However, he couldn't think much about it, and the silver hair on the right had already rushed to the front and punched him in the head with a straight punch. Yue Shaoyi flashed his head to the right sideways and rushed into the thug's arms, slamming a right hook into his abdomen. The thug stepped back slightly, and Yue Shaoyi stepped forward and hit him in the chin with another right hook. He then got closer, slamming his left fist into the thug's nose. Yue Shaoyi heard a crisp sound, and the bridge of the gangster's nose broke in response. He felt the familiar warmth splash between the fingers of his left fist...... Blood.

Before he could be sure if the thug had actually fallen, he felt the wind behind him, and he quickly leaned down, dodged the punch behind him, and then kicked back and kicked the thug in the shin behind. He fell on Yue Shaoyi's right side and immediately wanted to get up, but he was slammed on the ground by a foot in the back of his head and fainted, stirring up countless dust on the ground.

Yue Shaoyi shook his hand, stepped on the silver-haired thug who had fainted to the ground, and looked up at the leader who was giving orders. He was about ten steps away from Yue Shaoyi, and he had been standing in place and watching as if nothing had happened.

"Kill me? Just give it a try. Yue Shaoyi pursed his lips disdainfully, and glared at the silver hair with a cruel smile.

The silver-haired face was gloomy, and at this time the eyes were filled with blood, and the inky pupils seemed to melt into the blood-red.

He didn't say a word, just stared at Yue Shaoyi, and suddenly twitched distortedly.

The next moment appeared in front of Yue Shaoyi! With a vicious laugh!

Yue Shaoyi hurriedly flashed, but it was too late. He felt a sudden chill in his chest, and a distorted silver light flashed in front of his eyes almost at the same time. He lowered his head and saw the silver light with a little flying blood, and suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

[Damn!] This silver hair has a knife ......]

The leading thug then slashed several times, and Yue Shaoyi flashed, but his clothes were scraped a few times.

Yue Shaoyi had taken a few steps back at this time, but the silver hair was still in hot pursuit. The thug slashed again, he hurriedly leaned back, but his feet slipped and fell backwards, and he actually fell on the flat ground!

Yinmao missed the knife again, and saw Yue Shaoyi fall to the ground, so he conveniently threw the knife on the ground, held it, held the knife in his backhand, made an ice pick, and threw himself at him. Yue Shaoyi saw the gangster stabbing him in the throat, and hurriedly blocked the gangster's right arm with his left arm, and then grabbed the gangster's right elbow with his right hand before the gangster grabbed his neck with his left hand, Yue Shaoyi put his knee on his crotch, the gangster screamed in pain, Yue Shaoyi hurriedly turned over and pressed him down while curling his wrist and grabbing the knife.

Yue Shaoyi snatched his knife away, and then punched him in the face, and the thug passed out.

He slowly got up and regained his calm breathing, only to realize that he had snatched a dagger, which looked like a butterfly made in the United States. Yue Shaoyi took out the scabbard from the gangster again and put it away.

Yue Shaoyi checked the wound, the knife was not deep, and the bleeding had probably stopped.

[Minor Injury...... Just go back and wash it with hydrogen peroxide. ]

He patted his clothes, then walked slowly over to the strangely dressed girl.

The girl stood quietly, staring at him blankly, her white face was surprisingly calm with tears, and she did not see a trace of fear at this time, and her clothes were neatly tied. She didn't have the panic of being coerced by a few thugs.

"Be careful!" She suddenly pointed behind Yue Shaoyi and shouted.

In fact, before she opened her mouth, Yue Shaoyi had already felt the high temperature behind her, he instinctively flashed to the side, and saw that it was a flame that attacked him!

He smelled a hint of mush, only to realize that the hair on his left side was partially charred.

[Damn!] Dare to touch my 81-degree hair?! ]

Yue Shaoyi turned his head and glared, his eyes widened, and he found that the silver-haired thug who was the first to be knocked down by him was standing shaky at this time, as if he was going to fall down at any time.

Annoyed, he walked over and punched the thug hard in the nose. The thug rose into the air, flipped on his back, and remained motionless.

[What's the matter with the flame?] Yue Shaoyi frowned. A puff of black smoke emanating from the thug's mouth was noticed.

[The fire he breathed?] ]

Yue Shaoyi was inexplicable and very confused.

He turned his head to the girl, but heard her say, "It's not over yet, you have to purify them!" ”

"Purification? Are you scared and confused? Yue Shaoyi looked at the girl expressionlessly and asked.

The girl gave him a blank look, stared at him and said, "You are confused, aren't you a soul purifier, you are about to purify these three polluted spirits!" Otherwise, they will wake up stronger in a while! ”

The more Yue Shaoyi listened, the more confused he became.

[Soul Purifier?] What kind of mess is this girl talking about? Could it be that she is mentally ill? ]

Yue Shaoyi frowned, turned around and wanted to leave, but was caught by her.

"Don't go! Purify them! The girl said anxiously.

"You say purification...... Uh, well, how to purify? I kind of forgot. Why don't you teach me? Yue Shaoyi broke free of the girl's hand, and finally reluctantly decided to send this girl who must have mental problems to the hospital.

He casually said a few perfunctory words, and at the same time looked to see if there was any passing nearby, so that he could use his mobile phone to call the doctor and quickly arrest the woman into the hospital.

"Oh my God! Have you forgotten how to purify? You're stupid! The girl's expression of lament and anger on her face.

She stomped her foot and glared at Yue Shaoyi with a pout: "You big idiot!" I'll teach you, it's easy anyway. But don't forget it! β€œ

Yue Shaoyi frowned irritably, nodded perfunctorily and said hello. At the same time, look behind you to see if there are any passers-by walking in here.

"Hmm...... You start by dipping your index finger in your own blood. She stared at Yue Shaoyi and said.

"Huh?"

"Ahhh Hurry up! It's time for them to wake up in a minute! Stupid! Don't you have a wound in your chest?! ”

[I just saved you, so now you're a stupid and stupid idiot big idiot?] Forget it, don't worry about mental illness. Yue Shaoyi took a deep breath and dipped his hand in some blood.

"And then?" He looked down impatiently at the female psychopath.

The girl was about one meter six, standing on tiptoe and still looking up at Yue Shaoyi.

"Cut, stupid big man, you're getting impatient." She glanced at Yue Shaoyi again.

"Then shout 'All those who are fighting in formation' and draw a cross with your index finger, which is the simplest purification. With your IQ, you should be able to do it, right? ”

[What do you mean by my IQ?] Yue Shaoyi became more and more annoyed.

Suddenly, he saw someone in the distance.

[Thankfully, I'll just hold it out a little longer.] ]

So he did as the girl had said. Yue Shaoyi also began to feel stupid.

[Hmph, after shouting, nothing happened.] Yue Shaoyi sneered and looked at the girl.

But then his face froze as three dazzling rays of light emanated from the three guys on the ground.

Yue Shaoyi was stunned.

[What's this?!] ]

He stared at the brilliant light. There was a color that had never appeared in the color spectrum before in the light, and it was impossible to describe it in words, and even Leonardo da Vinci could not tell how the color was made here. Yue Shaoyi only felt that the color was so peaceful and serene, and all the previous irritability was swept away. The color catches the eye and is intoxicating.

"That's the color of 'purification,' and it's the color of God's kingdom." The girl whispered behind him.

"Welcome to the real world, big silly."

Yue Shaoyi turned his head to look at the girl, she had a beautiful smile on her face that Yue Shaoyi had only seen in her life, and the emotions in it were complex and difficult to read.

He turned his head again to stare at the purifying light.

"Real ...... World? β€œ

For a moment, Yue Shaoyi clearly felt that his already slightly distorted worldview began to gradually collapse.
