In the empty corridor, clear footsteps suddenly sounded.

Da, da.

The uniform sound echoed through the hallway, heavy and mechanical, and each stroke seemed to resonate with the heart. I don't know how many times it started, but my heart was already beating with its rhythm.

Click.

After the last sound, the footsteps died away, and the sudden silence made the heart pause for a moment. Looking at the heavy and oppressive wooden door in front of him, his slightly thin arm stretched out with some hesitation and knocked lightly on the door twice.

"Come in." The old and majestic voice came from the space inside the door, and there was a subtle hint of coldness in the dry voice.

Taking a deep breath, the pale little hand pushed open the door in front of him, and the old wooden door made a chilling "squeak", and what appeared in front of him was a huge and huge dark hall as empty as the corridor. The wooden door closed automatically behind him, and the slight sound of the door when it touched made people shudder.

After cutting off the outside light, the hall was almost in a state of not being able to reach out and lose its fingers, squinting his eyes and trying to look ahead, only to vaguely make out a figure sitting on a chair not far away.

"You're finally here." The old voice sounded again.

"Yes." Lowering his head slightly, the originally clear children's voice is so low at the moment.

The person in the seat also didn't move, so he kept a distance of nearly ten meters and said coldly: "Do you know why I called you here?" ”

An ominous feeling filled his chest, but the answer remained calm.

"Yes."

"It's for your own good."

The old man's voice did not rise or fall in the slightest, and no emotion was perceived from his words, only indifference to everything.

"You need to exercise, more work, and then be strong and come back here as a strong man......"

Quietly clenched his small fists, and a cold snort of disdain sounded in his heart. I'm afraid that even a three-year-old child can't be fooled by this kind of wrong words.

“…… So you have to train yourself more......"

The tirade continued, but his heart was already full of anger and unwillingness, and a flame of disgust slowly ignited. Looking up at the old man with a blurred figure, his eyes became colder and colder.

The old man seemed to notice a different gaze from his usual gaze, he stopped his tirade without any inhibitions, narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"To put it simply, I don't think I'm qualified to stay here, and I want to go as far as possible, don't you?" I don't know when, the immature voice changed again, and it became a little colder than the old man's voice.

Ah, the gentle voice that was praised before can no longer appear.

Thinking so in his heart, he raised the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly.

The figure in the seat finally moved, the old man leaned forward slightly, his face seemed to show a satisfied smile, but his voice was still unwavering: "How can you think so?" It's all for you—"

Hypocrisy. It's disgusting.

The disgust grew, and the flames seemed to rush to the brain. In the midst of this fierce flame, there was a strange feeling.

"You ......" The old man's voice obviously came from ten meters away, but it seemed to sound in his ears and came directly to the bottom of his heart.

In the flames of anger and disgust, uneasiness spreads, and despair begins to spread.

“…… You can ...... now"

Even so, the indifferent voice continued stubbornly regardless of it.

“…… Out of here. ”

The old man didn't even have any regrets about the fact that the person in front of him was about to leave, and he didn't even have happy feelings, but he was just indifferent to all this.

However, the little heart can no longer be calm, and the world collapses in this instant.

I am...... ...... not needed

Despair instantly overshadowed anger, unwillingness and disgust, although he had known this decision for a long time, but when he heard the old man say it himself, the worldview that he had built with great difficulty was still violently distorted in an instant, and his chest hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.

"I see."

He replied in the same calm voice as before, but there seemed to be something missing in it.

I am not needed......

The pain in his chest tugged at his heart, and the little ** organ seemed to be torn apart by the intense pain. However, ** saluted according to the etiquette regardless of the will, and then turned around and opened the door.

I am not needed.

The intense light outside the door seemed to sting his eyes, and a drop of crystal liquid, which was completely different from the current temperature of his heart, slowly slid down his cheek.

I, not being needed.

"No ......"

A low moan mixed with sadness came out of his mouth, and Zhang Longqian slowly opened his eyes.

It was the ceiling of her room, not the gloomy hall, that made her a little confused about where she was for a moment, and it took a long time for her to come to her senses.

"That's ...... What the? Raising her left hand, which was clutching her chest at some point, Zhang Longqian stared at her palm, thinking of the child's hand that was much smaller than herself, and she couldn't help but slowly recall the previous scene. Everything in the dream is so real, and the pain that seems to be torn apart is still there, as if it was my own experience.

“…… But that's not my past. The kid ...... It can't be me. ”

Muttering definitely, Zhang Longqian sat up, picked up the comb at the head of the bed and tidied up his long hair that was a little messy, but the focus of his eyes drifted to somewhere.

Although I know it's not me, I still feel heartache when I experience that scene. It's because of that kid...... Similar to you, right?

“…… Brother Fox. ”

The silent salutation in the bottom of his heart spit out from between his lips, gentle and subtle, but overflowing with pain, and the memory that had never faded gradually surfaced in his heart, Zhang Longqian's gaze became gray as it had never been.

The mobile phone at the bedside lit up, and the clear vibration sound made Zhang Longqian wake up, and when she turned her head and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she pressed the answer without confusion, and said directly: "Is there anything to gain, Qing?" ”

"Yes, there are already clues, and I will send you the specific location immediately."

Qinghu's voice was still low, listening to it could make people calm down, Zhang Longqian nodded and said calmly: "Very good, hard work." ”

"There's one more thing."

"What?"

"The captain of the criminal police brigade came to ask about the incident that asked us before, how do you reply to him?"

Hearing this, Zhang Longqian remembered that he had promised the captain of the criminal police brigade that he would solve the series of sabotage incidents, and he should have told him the results yesterday. Thinking about Zhang Longqian, he couldn't help but pat his head: "...... Tsk, I forgot about him...... I don't have time now, you tell him for me, just say that everything is settled, let him take care of the territory of the club as usual, that's all. ”

After getting Qinghu's response, Zhang Longqian hung up the phone, neatly tied her combed hair into a ponytail, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to the round core placed at the head of the bed.

Just yesterday, around this cold core, she made a decision and secretly made a plan.

Using the weapon core made by Zhou Miao as bait, attracting those monsters with the information of yin and yang eyes, and then eradicating the monsters who took the initiative to come forward one by one, this is the skeleton of the plan. As for the weapon core that is important in this plan, although Zhang Longqian and Nangong Piao are a little confused, and they don't understand why Zhou Miao, who is a mortal, can make something so similar to the fluctuation of the yin and yang eyes, but thinking about Zhou Miao's almost omnipotent super brain, it doesn't seem to be an unpredictable thing to make this kind of thing that belongs to another realm, and she is relieved.

After not thinking about these trivial matters, Zhang Longqian calmed down and carefully considered all aspects of this plan, and then immediately contacted the Qinghu of the Yulin Society, although he did not clearly state his purpose because of the worry of "if he let Qinghu know too much, he would be erased", but Zhang Longqian also handed over all the details of the implementation of the plan to him.

No matter what method is used, it will take a while for the news to spread, although Zhang Longqian believes that Qinghu will be able to spread this information to Quan Zhongkun in the shortest possible time, but if the news spreads too quickly, it will arouse suspicion, so she decided to wait for a night, and it is only now that she has received the information.

The phone lit up again, Zhang Longqian took the phone, looked at the pictures and text displayed on it, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly.

It looks like we'll be able to reap some results today.
