Chapter 38: I'll Be With You
On the other end of the phone, Moros listened to Zhou Li's voice and finally understood that this matter was finally irreparable.
She didn't expect that Zhou Lizhong's obsession with revenge was so strong, even death was not enough to make him retreat.
Just like the 'li' she knew, there was an unimaginable madness, but the difference was that Zhou Li had always hidden this terrifying madness well.
This is a quality that a good Avenger should have, but now it is giving Moros a headache.
Ignoring the cold of the early morning, she stood up from the bed and let her bumpy and beautiful body be exposed to the orange light.
Somewhat irritated, she bit the cork of a bottle of vodka, she was too lazy to use the glass, and in just a few sips she poured enough to make the average strong man drunk into a pulp.
Feeling the alcohol burst out of her body like a flame, she finally came to her senses, gritted her teeth and said to the phone: "You guy, are you the suicide monk of the 'Knights Hospitaller of St. John's'!" ”
"I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it at all."
"It's best not to hear about it, it's just a bunch of fanatical believers who don't want to die, human bombs."
Moros was a little nerve-wracking when he thought back to the association of radical ables in the name of 'faith', and their recent actions in Jerusalem's cold.
At least one thing, Zhou Li is the same as them: the same madness that he doesn't take his life seriously!
Thinking of the commission that she couldn't refuse, she asked a little irritably: "Are you so desperate?!" ”
"Don't get me wrong." Zhou Li leaned against the wall in the front yard and laughed in a low voice: "Life is so beautiful, I cherish life more than anyone else." ”
"Cherish your life to gamble your life in a revenge with little hope of victory?!"
There was silence in the earpiece for a while, and then Zhou Li's voice finally came, as if he was laughing: "It's because I want to live that I can't let him live too." ”
Whether crazy or stupid, Zhou Li understands that he doesn't plan to turn back.
Even if you give up, what can you do?
Ghost Che has already killed his uncle and aunt, which means that he can kill Lu Xiaoshui and himself at any time, but he has not yet set his sights on himself.
I can walk away with that strange dead tree, but what about Lu Qiaoshui?
He wasn't stupid enough to pray that the ghost would have a little mercy in his heart and not kill children.
As long as the ghost cut does not achieve its goal for a day, then it will never give up.
So, if they want to live, then Ghost Cut must die.
Not only for 'revenge', but also for 'living'.
After a long time, Moros sighed under her breath, "It's exactly like that guy." ”
"Then be it, if you still have detailed information, just send it to my mailbox."
Zhou Li was a little tired of this kind of meaningless conversation: "I will do the next thing by myself." ”
The phone was hung up, and Moros heard a busy tone coming from the receiver.
Sitting silently on the bed for a long time, she lowered her head and broadcast a number again.
After a long wait, the phone was finally connected by long, white fingers in a roar and a loud bang.
An indifferent voice sounded: "I'm busy, long story short." ”
Moros hugged the wine bottle, leaned against the head of the bed and sighed: "Zhou Li is going to kill ghosts, I can't stop it." ”
There was another violent roar and a broken sound, and soon the echo came: "Then let him go, I didn't let you be a nanny." ”
Moros rubbed her brows a little helplessly, why is it that the employer and the mission goal entrusted this time are the same.
Unable to guess her thoughts, Moros asked suspiciously, "Is it okay to die?" ”
There seemed to be someone on the other end of the phone roaring, and all kinds of strange voices rang one after another, until finally, it completely became dead silent.
"Don't treat him like a child, if he wants to kill, let him go."
The indifferent female voice didn't seem to be worried, and she didn't plan to stop Zhou Li's crazy behavior: "Is there anything else?" ”
"It's gone." Moros smiled wryly: "You keep busy." ”
……
In the midst of the ruins, the phone was hung up by a white palm and put in a pocket.
You can vaguely see that this was once an old courtyard, but now the rockery has been smashed, and the clear pond is covered with broken stones and the color of blood.
A koi fish with a tail that sells for a lot of money on the market is floating on the water with a white belly at the moment, and no one cares about it at all.
Broken limbs and corpses that had lost their temperature fell disheveledly on the shattered earth, dead without looking at them.
The only woman standing in the ruins put away her phone, leisurely and carefully arranging her long, slightly messy hair, draped behind her head.
The sun rises in the sky, but it does not bring the slightest warmth to the land, as if as long as that slender figure exists, it will always be a terrifying winter.
After a long time, Kyoto once again ushered in such a bloody morning.
Leisurely walking and among the ruins, she looked at the only undamaged small building in the entire ruins, and whispered in an indifferent tone as always:
"Harumi Domimon, don't get out now, do you want me to demolish the last house of the zero class?"
……
The killing on the other side of the world had nothing to do with Zhou Li, and he didn't know anything about it.
After hanging up the phone, he stood in the cold wind for a while, but the more he thought about Moros's attitude, the more he didn't understand.
It wasn't until Lu Xiaoshui was about to finish eating that he returned to the table.
Lu Xiaoshui leaned on the table suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You don't have to worry about some things in the school's student union." Zhou Li smiled and changed the subject: "When are you going to start school?" ”
Lu Wanshui glanced at him, and said helplessly: "It's not the New Year yet, at least after the New Year, it may start school, right?" ”
"Haha, that's right." Zhou Li laughed, stopped talking, and lowered his head to eat.
There are still a lot of things to be sorted out today, because the day of the burial of the weak water parents is tomorrow.
In the past two days, Zhou Li ran east and west, and only then did he buy a cemetery in the cemetery in the western suburbs, and the husband and wife were buried together, which did not occupy much space.
After all, the cemetery is just a place to mourn for future generations.
In fact, what is enshrined in the mourning hall is only ashes, and all that is needed is to find a day to be buried.
Long before the funeral, Zhou Li had already signed to send his uncle and aunt to be cremated, and he stubbornly did not let Lu Qiaoshui interfere with a set of procedures.
When the lights go out when people die, the deceased will not feel pain, and leaving the corpse to decompose over time will cause greater damage to the heart of the weak water.
Although it is not polite to do this, there is no need to pay attention to those at this time, but these days Zhou Li has been criticized by those relatives a lot because of this matter.
He never cared about those things, they just said what they wanted, and all they could do was 'point fingers'.
He was more worried that there were some things that they might not be able to wait to say today.
For example, what he is most worried about - the custody of Lu Qiaoshui.
She was still a fifteen-year-old child, and she naturally needed someone to take care of her until she reached adulthood, but who was going to do it?
That's why he's worried.
If there was really someone in that group of relatives who could reassure Zhou Li to entrust this girl who was regarded as his sister, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
However, what they want is not a drag oil bottle from the Lu family, they just want this house.
These days, he has been deliberately trying to avoid this topic, but after all, he can't treat it as if it doesn't exist.
looked at the little girl sitting opposite him drinking porridge in silence, but he didn't know how to say it.
She's just young, but she's not stupid, she is more sensitive than Zhou Li in some places, and she doesn't allow others to touch her.
Just like the little girl who quietly hid in her room and cried after learning the news of her parents' death, she was very careful not to let Zhou Li see her weakness, and she didn't want Zhou Li to worry about herself.
If it were her, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to trouble Zhou Li, and just pick a guy who doesn't know what it is to be her guardian, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Li couldn't help but sigh: "Weak water." ”
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoshui, who was holding the bowl, raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Reaching out and rubbing her hair, Zhou Li smiled, and suddenly said without a beginning: "I'll be here with you, don't worry." ”
She squinted her eyes slightly under Zhou Li's palm and nodded lightly: "Well, I see." ”
Like a well-behaved kitten, he will only show his soft belly in front of those closest to him, and let him stroke his hair.
