Chapter 26: The Knot of the Heart
"Whew!"
With a low whistling, a vague figure swept through the air and disappeared into the gloomy corner of the building. The speed of this figure was so fast that, in addition to the low whistling sound, it also brought a gust of wind that swept up the dust on the ground that had accumulated for an unknown number of years!
"Who?!"
A young man in a military uniform was startled, looked back in twilight, and shouted in a very strange language!
"What's wrong?"
The companion not far away immediately rushed over, and asked with a high degree of nervousness while aiming at the rifle in his hand. Although this abandoned factory has undergone a preliminary search and confirmed that there is no living person left, the thought of what they have just seen makes everyone's hearts furious, and the mood is naturally in a state of high tension at this time.
"Me, I feel like there's someone behind me!"
The young soldier who shouted earlier swallowed hard and said tremblingly.
"Anyone?"
The companions were startled and immediately looked in the direction indicated, but there was no sign of anyone except their own companions in the distance!
"Bastard, I'll beat you up if you mess around!"
His companion, who felt that he had been in a false alarm, was furious, first gave the young man a fist, then glared at him viciously before leaving. He threw up when he was at the scene just now, and he was ashamed because of this, so he was extremely sensitive psychologically.
The young soldier bit his lip and didn't dare to say anything more, but he looked at the dark corners behind him, and the faint uneasiness in his heart did not weaken, but intensified......
"It's time for us to go."
Coming behind Lin Jingxuan, gently putting a small box on the ground, Sun Peng's voice was low and soft: "This place is full of soldiers from neighboring countries, and there is a large convoy that will arrive in a few minutes...... When the time comes, there will be people standing around every corner of this place, and we must leave! ”
In this cold winter night, Lin Jingxuan had been standing quietly for nearly half an hour.
From the moment the bomb on Lin Jingfang's body exploded, she seemed to wrap herself in the whole way, without Sun Peng's familiar breath in the past, she stood alone and didn't move. As a last resort, Sun Peng had no choice but to take her away from the messy scene, and then returned to carefully dispose of it, the most important of which was to collect Lin Jingfang's body and then cremate it into this small box of ashes.
The troops of the neighboring countries finally arrived here.
Of course, Sun Peng would not be afraid of these ordinary soldiers, but he would definitely not hurt them because of this, so he had only one choice in the end, to leave here with Lin Jingxuan as soon as possible.
After finishing his words, Sun Peng stood quietly behind Lin Jingxuan, waiting for her answer.
The cold wind of the winter night was blowing, and the strange tones of the foreign soldiers around him were faintly coming, making this secluded place specially chosen by Sun Peng gradually become noisy.
"My original form is a mussel, you must have guessed it, right?"
After a while, Lin Jingxuan suddenly spoke, and her voice was extremely low and lonely.
"Hmm."
Nodding, Sun Peng replied softly.
Although he has never asked, and Lin Jingxuan has never said it explicitly, through some words in the past two days, Sun Peng still vaguely guessed the conclusion. Lin Jingfang only has a fraction of the reaction and speed of ordinary people, and she can also produce a kind of crystal bead on her own, these characteristics are too obvious.
With a faint sigh, Lin Jingxuan continued: "In this life, I have experienced family affection that I have never had before, and my parents, as well as Xiaofang, have given me warmth that I have never had before. However, this warmth ended up making me feel fear! ”
His brows furrowed slightly, and Sun Peng's heart was a little surprised.
Not caring about Sun Peng's reaction, Lin Jingxuan continued to herself: "Monsters are like immortals, the days of cultivation are long and indefinite, no matter who they are in the process, they are just a hurried passer-by in life after all!" So I'm scared, I'm afraid they're the same as in my previous life...... In the end, I chose to leave as soon as possible! ”
"Hoo ......"
Hearing this, Sun Peng exhaled softly.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, my parents left soon."
Lin Jingxuan slowly closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and said in a low tone that seemed to be a dream: "This sister is the only one left in the family, and I, who have joined Minglan , can only ask someone to help take care of her, but I never dare to meet her." Even if he saved people from Guoan that time, he tried his best to hide it from her......"
After a pause, Lin Jingxuan suddenly turned her head to look at Sun Peng: "You say, isn't it ridiculous?" ”
"Huh?"
Raising his eyebrows, Sun Peng looked over with a slightly inquiring gaze.
"I know that Xiaofang, she has always wanted to see me."
Lin Jingxuan said gloomily: "In fact, every time I sneak over to see her, she always has a very magical sensing ability, and can detect that I am not far from her, but she has never been able to really see me." And today, when she was finally able to see me again, she was ......"
Speaking of this, Lin Jingxuan sighed, and couldn't say any more.
Sun Peng was silent when he heard this.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't understand what Lin Jingxuan just said, but he could understand this. Compared with the long life of the monsters, the life of ordinary people is too short, even the beads on Lin Jingfang's body that can rejuvenate people, in fact, can only play a role, delaying a person's life span for twenty or thirty years.
It doesn't seem like a wrong choice to cut off your family ties earlier.
Merely......
Looking at Lin Jingxuan, who had a gloomy face, Sun Peng sighed secretly.
There are some things that don't matter whether they are right or wrong, but there is a scale in everyone's heart, weighing the gains and losses of various choices all the time, and the result can only be truly known by myself!
"Alright, let's go."
After being silent for a long time again, Lin Jingxuan suddenly turned around and picked up the ashes on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Xiaofang has had a hard life in this life, now let me find a good place for her, let her have a good rest............
Li Jiancheng's head hurts.
In the past two days, he has been busy with the case that Sun Peng just completed, and a lot of tedious and delicate copywriting work has to be checked by him, and he tossed until more than two o'clock in the morning last night before going to sleep, and he was already mentally exhausted.
However, he was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
Li Jiancheng, who was extremely sleepless, was a little dazed, and reluctantly opened his eyes to look at the time, but it was just over four o'clock in the morning, and an irrepressible anger suddenly rose to Li Jiancheng's heart!
Grabbing the mobile phone next to the pillow, Li Jiancheng asked in a somewhat stiff tone: "Hello, who is it?" ”
"Built, disturb your rest."
The voice from the mobile phone was very familiar, which made Li Jiancheng slightly stunned, and immediately came to his senses: "Director, is there anything urgent about calling me so early?" ”
"Well, there's an emergency!"
Sun Ledong did not hesitate, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Just an hour or two ago, a vicious time occurred not far from our border, and dozens of people died!" The neighboring countries have made it clear that they want us to intervene in the investigation, and I want you to bring someone over as soon as possible! ”
"Dozens of dead? Director, what the hell is going on? ”
After hearing these words, Li Jiancheng was suddenly shocked in his heart, and sat up from the bed with a pout! In such a big case on his side, only a dozen people died, and dozens of them died in one breath!
"I don't know the specifics."
Sun Ledong said with a wry smile: "Although the location of the incident is over there, but with the scale of this incident, it is more likely to be related to our New Xia Kingdom, you can rush over as soon as possible, and the support from the headquarters will arrive soon...... By the way, is that Sun Peng still there? ”
"No, he's gone."
Without thinking much about it, Li Jiancheng hurriedly explained.
Sun Ledong was not surprised, nodded and said: "Forget if you don't go, I'm afraid this matter can't be solved by relying on personal ability alone...... Okay, without further ado, you should hurry over as soon as possible! ”
"Yes, we'll go later!"
While speaking, Li Jiancheng had already begun to get dressed.
Looking at the still dark sky outside the window, Li Jiancheng shook his head with a wry smile, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel deep envy for Sun Peng, who left two days ago
