202, Angel of the Night
The rain at night is always wilder than during the day, and the whole city is enveloped in torrential rain.
Because of the rain, the most prosperous city center has become a ghost town, there are no pedestrians on the road, most of the shops are closed, and the few shops that are still lit are also flashing in anticipation of the rain.
The first rain of early summer heralded a new round of reincarnation for the city, and the arrival of the rainy season added a chill to the already hot and dry air.
The water on the ground is piled up in layers by raindrops, reflecting the lonely and calm neon lights, making this noisy place seem extraordinarily secluded and even secluded.
In front of a closed convenience store on the corner, a young man sat decadently, one of his hands seemed to be injured, his face was very ugly, and blood was still gushing out of his nose.
He trembled and trembled as he took a loaf of bread that had been thrown on the ground and ate it carefully, coughing violently every time he swallowed it.
There were occasional passers-by around, but no one stopped for him when he saw him, making his figure look extremely lonely.
"Look, mother, there's a poor man there! He seems to be sick! ”
A little girl who hurried home with her mother pointed to Shanyu and looked up and asked her parents, "Let's help him." ”
"Don't make trouble!" The woman glanced at it vigilantly, and took her daughter's hand to speed up her steps when passing through the mountain rain, and avoided it from afar.
But Shan Yu didn't care, what he hoped most now was to find a quiet place where he could solve the injuries on his body. He really didn't expect that there was such a master hidden in the tattered organization that he thought could fight a hundred. After being burned by his demon fire, his strong healing ability actually stagnated, and even the true qi in his body began to show signs of chaotic retrograde, if he didn't hurry up to recuperate, once he went mad, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Hey, hey. Are you okay? ”
A crisp voice pulled Shan Yu back from his settled state, and with this sound, a faint demonic aura rushed into Shan Yu's nose.
He silently turned around and found a girl dressed in flamboyant clothes and heavy makeup standing behind him, bending down to look at him with concern.
"Are you sick? Shall I take you to the hospital? ”
The girl's makeup is very thick. It was so thick that I couldn't see her for what she was. But his eyes were very clean, and Shan Yu couldn't speak because of his true qi, but he could see at a glance that this girl was not human, she was a pure demon. But maybe the practice is not long. The demonic aura is weak. However, there is one thing that makes the mountain rain unimaginable. That is, a monster actually has such clear eyes, which makes him a little difficult to define.
"You're bleeding!" The girl took out a handkerchief from her pocket and squatted in front of Shan Yu to gently wipe the blood flowing from under his nose: "No, you will die here!" I'll take you to the hospital. ”
The girl didn't say a word. Helping Shanyu to walk to the hospital, but before he took two steps, Shanyu suddenly pushed the girl away with all his might, and stumbled forward.
The future head of the Fu Sect will not allow the help of a demon! This is the last bottom line in Shanyu's heart, his self-esteem does not allow himself to have anything to do with goblins, especially such underage demons, things that are not in his eyes!
But helplessly, the body was really not angry, and before he could take two steps away, the strong mountain rain had already fallen on his back on the wet ground, completely losing consciousness.
I don't know how long later, when he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed, covered with a blanket, with a bowl of steaming hot porridge next to him, and a boy of seven or eight years old standing not far from him.
Although the boy has a demented face, his face is amazing, even an unprofessional looker like Shanyu can see that this boy is not extraordinary.
"Why are you running here? Let's go eat! Let's go to dinner! ”
At this time, a girl hurriedly ran in from outside and took the boy's hand: "If you don't behave, I'll give you to the old demon of Montenegro to eat!" It loves to eat stupid kids like you! ”
The boy didn't react, still looking at Shanyu in a daze, and the two of them looked at each other in a daze.
"Ahh You're awake! When the girl woke up when she saw the mountain rain, she laughed happily: "Wait a minute, I'll get him food first, and then I'll feed you porridge." ”
Shan Yu wanted to cry without tears, his limbs were immobilized as if they were frozen, although they were much better than last night, but the tearing healing pain made him have no strength, even in the face of the two monsters close at hand, he could only be helpless.
"My name is Wen Ran." The girl happily introduced herself: "You fainted last night, I brought you back, where is your home?" Let your family pick you up. ”
Shan Yu stared at her for a while, and a muffled voice came out of his mouth: "Demon! ”
Wen Ran's face suddenly became ugly, but he still forced a smile and said, "What did you say?" ”
"You're a demon!" Shan Yu gritted his teeth: "Talisman...... Poof......"
The qi that had just gathered suddenly began to scurry around, and a mouthful of blood spurted out like mist, and his face turned the color of tin foil.
"Are you alright?" Wen Ran rushed to his side and hugged his head with both hands: "I'll take you to the hospital!" ”
"Let it go...... Open...... Open me! Shanyu gasped heavily: "Don't think that if you help me, I will receive a demonic love!" ”
"I ......" Wen Ran lowered his head, his face was a little ugly: "You take a rest first, I'm going to work." ”
"Silly boy, you have to take care of him." She stood up, pointed to Shanyu and said to the silly child next to her, "Come back and bring you something to eat." ”
The stupid boy didn't have any expression, didn't nod or shake his head, just stood there stunned, expressionless.
After explaining, Wen Ran rushed out of the room with his bag and went to work. She actually knew that Shanyu was not an ordinary person, because when she helped him scrub his wounds yesterday, she clearly saw the runes on his body. Although these runes were not activated, they still made Wen Ran's heart palpitate.
But...... Perhaps because of his kindness, Wen Ran did not throw the mountain rain out, but simply gave him medicine and boiled some hot porridge for him. It's just that she didn't expect this guy to point at her nose and scold the demon when she woke up......
She works in a drunken nightclub, where she comes every night at six o'clock to put on heavy makeup and prepare to sing on stage. When she first came here, she was surrounded by many girls who sang like her, but when she was about to turn three years old, those girls had already become princesses in nightclubs, and she still only sang and did not sell herself.
Originally according to the characteristics of such a place. She had been kicked out a long time ago. But maybe gentle people will always be treated gently by the world, and the owner of this place thinks at first glance that she is like his daughter who has been dead for three years, so he takes special care of her, and she sings well. So naturally, I continued to stay here and sing.
"Wen Ran. You're late today. The female manager of the nightclub stood at the door of her dressing room and looked at her with a smile: "Private room No. 6 sent you a flower basket yesterday. Aren't you going to drink with people today? ”
"Sister Hua...... I don't drink. ”
"I won't let you do anything, just drink with others." The manager was a little surprised: "They all know that you are the mascot here, and they will not do anything to you." ”
Wen Ran smiled and nodded. But then he shook his head helplessly: "I get very scary when I drink." ”
"Forget it, I'll go and accompany you. Is...... How scary could it be? And it doesn't eat people. ”
Wen Ran glanced at the demon pattern on the back of his hand, sighed softly, lowered his voice and muttered, "It's really going to eat people." ”
"Okay, okay, if you can eat people, you will eat people. Then go to Box Nine today, and a group of nervous people have come, saying that they are looking for someone who only sells their art but not their bodies. ”
Wen Ran nodded, stood up and picked up the number plate: "Okay, thank you, Sister Hua." ”
"Go ahead."
The manager looked at Wen Ran's back and shook her head and smiled, she was actually reluctant to let this girl accompany the guests, and not only her, but also all the people here, whether it was thugs, bodyguards or those young ladies were working hard to protect this stupid girl, people who often came to this venue knew that there was a beautiful girl named Wen Ran here who only sang and was not allowed to touch.
She walked to the door of the No. 9 bag with the fruit bowl, and as soon as she pushed the door, she saw seven or eight people gathered around the table, both men and women, their expressions were stern, and the atmosphere was very cold.
"Hello...... I'm your full-time waiter. Please...... Excuse me, do you need to order a song? ”
One of the men didn't speak, but just raised his hand to signal her to sit down on the side first, then propped his hands on the table, and said loudly, "I'll tell you, this matter definitely has something to do with the Rise of Darkness. We've had so many things happen in the past year, so much that it's abnormal, more than in forty years combined! This is so abnormal, so we must find out the source! ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at a man next to him with the same stern expression: "Siyuan, what do you think?" ”
"I don't have an opinion, I'm just wondering, why did you bring us here to talk about such a thing?" Siyuan turned his head and glanced at Wen Ran, who was sitting on the sofa like a pin, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "Now the demon capital has started to work as a waiter?" ”
When Wen Ran heard this, her heart was about to jump out, she nervously looked at the group of people in front of her who were looking at her with strange eyes, and quietly pulled her sleeves with her hands to cover the demon patterns on her wrists.
"Hey! Really! Chen Ming touched his face: "It's hidden deep enough." ”
"I ...... I ......" Wen Ran suddenly panicked: "What are you talking about?" ”
"It's okay, you wait." Chen Ming lit a cigarette: "Siyuan, that guy was gone like this yesterday?" ”
"Well, I ran away. But I think he's injured too. I don't know where. Siyuan stretched out his hand: "By the way, do you want to continue to follow the witchcraft?" ”
"Definitely." Siyuan also lit a cigarette: "I still don't understand what you are doing in the nightclub with us?" ”
"Singing, the boss here and I are brothers, so I came here to take care of my brother's business." Chen Ming looked awesome: "No, you can meet goblins if you play casually." ”
Speaking of this, their eyes turned to Wen Ran's body again, and Wen Ran, who was sitting next to him, was looked at by these people with a creepy look, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"You're a basilis, aren't you?" Siyuan turned to look at Wen Ran: "It looks like a young snake demon." ”
Wen Ran lowered her head, she didn't know what to say for a long time, she didn't even know where to put her hands, she was indeed a snake demon, but she was really well hidden, since she came out of Qingcheng Mountain three years ago, basically no one has found her identity, but today she was discovered by two people in a row, what the hell is going on?
"It's okay, I'm just asking." Siyuan looked at her innocent look, turned his head to Chen Ming with a smile and said, "Why did you think of calling a girl to accompany you?" ”
"Hey, are you mistaken, you don't call yourself a girl when you come to this kind of place? How are you going to let me mix in the Tao in the future? Chen Ming's face was full of surprise: "And I specially said hello, I want to sell my art and not my body, so that it will be high and bright and not lose my share." ”
Isn't that sick what is? came out to play and called a little girl, but she still wanted to save face and have to fuck the high wind and bright festival. No matter how you look at it, this is not something that normal people can do.
While the others were laughing at each other with Chen Ming, Siyuan stood in front of Wen Ran and looked down at her: "You are poisonous, be careful of your life." ”
"I ......" Wen Ran nodded lightly: "Well, I know." ”
"What's your name?" Siyuan squeezed her hand and looked at the demon pattern on the back of her hand: "What is your demon pattern...... Qingcheng Mountain Boundary. ”
"I ......" Wen Ran originally wanted to say Wen Ran, but she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't have a name......"
"No name?" Siyuan scratched his head: "How could it be." ”
"I only had spiritual consciousness a hundred and twenty years ago, and I was able to transform three years ago. No one named me, I only knew that the person who saved me back then was surnamed Zheng, so I called myself Zheng Wenran. Wen Ran pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm from the countryside." ”
Siyuan pursed his lips and nodded, handing her a business card: "Okay." By the way, if you find a handsome guy in his twenties, the kind with dimples on the side of his mouth when he laughs, make this call. ”
"Huh? Such a person...... A lot. ”
"One counts as one, and you see a lot of people every day." Siyuan smiled at her, but the innate imperial coercion made the underage snake spirit tremble.
In the end, Siyuan and they didn't play for long, but Chen Ming, who was too drunk, left a tip of nearly 10,000 yuan under Siyuan's squeeze, which made the girls in other private rooms envious for a while.
"Wen Ran Wen Ran, are you also ......" A little sister asked Wen Ran quietly at the end of work: "Otherwise...... Why did they give you so much? ”
Wen Ran shook her head mysteriously: "No, no, they say I sing well......"
The little sister obviously didn't believe it, but there was nothing she could do but say goodbye to her and leave the room whistling.
Wen Ran stayed in the dressing room, carefully divided the stack of money into three parts and put it in his cheap leather bag, and then got off work in a full mood.
"Hmm...... Go buy something good! (To be continued......)
