Chapter 37: The Tragedy of Ten Years Ago

"Liu Ye!Liu Ye!What's wrong with you......" Shi Lan was dragged by Liu Ye and ran on the street, going against the crowd all the way.

"We'll have to go back to the 'Confused Roast' first, I have something to ask Uncle House. Liu Ye frowned, and his mind turned a thousand times.

If Milhouse was a magician, then why didn't he come to the rescue when Baili Ming died tragically ten years ago, because he didn't want to reveal his identity? And the crying face mask man with the same voice as Bai Li Ming, could it be that Bai Li Ming really didn't die? What was that scene ten years ago?

"Open the door, open the door!" Liu Ye knocked heavily on the door of the "Confused Barbecue" store.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone inside...... Shi Lan looked at Liu Ye worriedly, there was no one in the black hole in the store, but Liu Ye didn't seem to realize this at all, and still kept hammering the glass door.

"Damn!" Liu Ye kicked at the small blackboard placed at the door, and then leaned against the door of the store and sat weakly on the ground. That kick kicked a wooden leg straight away, and the blackboard fell crookedly.

"Liu Ye ......" Shi Lan squatted down beside him, pulled his sleeve and asked softly, "Can you tell me about what happened in this barbecue restaurant?"

"Whew-" Liu Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then calmly looked up at the sky, coincidentally, it was snowing at this time, and clusters of snowflakes fell on the palms of his hands, and in a blink of an eye, they melted into cold water.

"Ten years ago in the spring, it was raining lightly, and I came to this restaurant in the evening, not only to have dinner, but also to meet my first girlfriend, Baili Ming, who was working as a temporary worker in this restaurant at the time. ”

"She and I met in the study hall of the school library eleven years ago, when we were both first-year students at Bogu University, so we were classmates. Chen Siyun and I are both geniuses focused on cultivating by the school, and she is just a very ordinary student. But I was attracted to her from the beginning, she is a very cheerful girl, with a pair of particularly good-looking eyes, long eyelashes, and a clean voice, which has a very comfortable feeling when you listen to it. ”

Because they borrowed a few books from each other, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other. On the first New Year's after we met, at Starlight Beach, I confessed to her. ”

"We've been together ever since, and she's living around here, working at this 'Confused Barbecue' on weekends, so I've been here a lot, and it's a bit far away, but people in love don't care about that. It was at that time that I met my uncle, the owner of this restaurant. Uncle is a very enthusiastic person, and he looks very kind when he is chubby. ”

"This uneventful and happy life lasted only four months, and I never expected the relationship to end in such a sudden way, that day was so dark that I was miserable every time I remember it. ”

Liu Ye closed his eyes as he spoke, leaving two lines of crystal tears. Shi Lan didn't say anything, just hugged Liu Ye's arm, moved to the left, and leaned on Liu Ye.

"It was Sunday, April 11th. As soon as I opened the door to the restaurant, I saw Baili Ming arguing with a man who was wearing a brown striped knitted hat on his head, a black tracksuit, who looked to be in his early forties, a little beard, a large nose, medium eyes, but many whites, and a tattoo of a flower on his neck. ”

Seeing that the man's emotions were getting more and more excited, and he even started to slap the table, I walked over to stand between Baili Ming and the guy and asked them the reason for their quarrel. ”

"The guy said that today's barbecue was not fresh, especially beef, and it had a strange smell. Baili Ming was very angry, because the ingredients that day were all purchased by her before opening the store in the morning, and it was impossible not to be fresh, so the two quarreled. Even until Baili Ming showed him the purchase receipts, he still insisted that the meat was not fresh and there was a problem. ”

I saw that the man was emotionally unstable, so I pulled Baili Ming aside and quietly told her to ask her to go to the back kitchen to find the uncle first to see if there was a problem with the method that caused the taste of the ingredients to change. Although she was a little reluctant, she listened to my advice and began to walk to the back kitchen. ”

I turned around to calm the man's emotions, but at that moment, the bastard pulled out a dagger and stabbed at me. I subconsciously dodged away, and the dagger grazed my ribs, leaving me with only flesh wounds. ”

"But I never expected that the knife was not aimed at me at all, but at Baili Ming. By the time I could react, he had already plunged the dagger into the back of the unsuspecting Baili Ming's heart. ”

I rushed up to subdue him, but the bastard held the dagger firmly and pulled it out with the strength I had to pounce on him. At that moment, my face was covered with blood, it was Baili Ming's blood, and the blood gushed out from the wound on her back. ”

"I slammed the bastard's head into the corner of the table almost like crazy, and I tossed him aside as soon as he let go of his hand and the dagger fell to the ground. At that time, Baili Ming had fallen in a pool of blood, I didn't know what I was thinking, at that moment I couldn't even remember where I was or who I was, I just kicked the dagger away in a daze, desperately trying to cover her wounds with clothes, but it was useless at all, the blood quickly soaked through the clothes, I watched her in pain and couldn't say a word, her face was pale. ”

"The peacekeepers quickly arrived at the scene and arrested the guy. The ambulance called by the uncle came in less than three minutes, but even then it was too late. Obviously, as long as she got to the hospital, she could use artificial organs to save her, but she was still a step too late, and as soon as she was put in the ambulance, the time had already come. ”

"I will never forget the scene when she held my hand, her lips were purple, her face was not bloody, and with all her last strength she said: 'Thank you, I am already very happy that you were the one who was there for me at the last moment.' Her hand was losing its warmth in the palm of my hand, and I could only let her life pass before my eyes, and the deep feeling of powerlessness made me desperate. Liu Ye held his head in pain and sobbed, "If I could have reacted a little faster at that time, if I had been able to subdue him directly, Ming'er would not have died......! It was me, it was my cowardice, it was my fear that kept me away, that's why she died, and I caused it all. ”

"Ah Ye......" Shi Lan broke his fist clenched against the snow, stuffed her hand into his palm, and warmed his cold fingers that were red from the cold with body heat, "It's not your fault, it's just an instinctive reaction that you will dodge." ”

"The doctor said the same, maybe I know it, but I just can't forgive myself. That is, from that day on, I fell into an infinite cycle of self-blame and guilt, I no longer have the indomitable spirit I used to have, because I gave up my efforts, I soon ceased to be a member of the genius class, gradually, I became a social animal who achieved nothing, working for others all day long, messing around in the laboratory, lying in the apartment every weekend, every year on April 11th, I will come here to mourn her, but also to pay tribute to my past. I don't have any friends, and since I lost the aura of key training, many people have left me, and only Chen Siyun still maintains close contact with me. Time flies, and soon ten years have passed, and it is not until the day I met you that everything has changed. ”

"I thought it was just an accident. But today you told me that my uncle was a magician, and the cold memory in my mind warmed up in an instant. Shilan, I'm going to tell you something, I hope you don't tell anyone else just yet. ”

"Good. Shilan nodded firmly.

"The day before you woke up, a member of the suspected 'Mirror' appeared, in a safe house in the western suburbs. ”

"Well, I know, Sister Tang Yin told me. ”

"She's coming at me, and this is the second time she's appeared, the last time, on the night you taught me space magic, she gave me a letter and a key. ”

"The most important thing is her voice. The man was wearing a mask with a crying face, and he couldn't see his face, but four days ago, when everyone was working together against her, she spoke, and that voice, that voice was Baili Ming's voice. ”

"Huh?" Shilan snorted.

"That's right, it must be her voice, a voice I'll never forget. Liu Ye looked straight ahead, his eyes were cold and calm, "If Bai Liming is also a magician and a member of 'Mirror', and the boss of the 'Confused Barbecue' where she works is also a magician, then the accident ten years ago is a little too much to say." ”

"Indeed, the mage's body is protected by magical power, and even if an ordinary blade is taken by surprise, it can only cause very minor damage. Shi Lan nodded, holding Liu Ye's hand a little tighter.

"Yes, so, there are two possibilities. The first one, it was a show, a show called 'The Death of Baili Ming', which deceived me and the archives of Boyun City. From that day on, 'Baili Ming' was declared dead in this world. She was active in the shadows of the wizarding world as a member of 'Mirror', and only recently reappeared. ”

"Second, she's really dead, and the person who attacked her is also a magician. And the person who has the same voice as her recently is a trap set by someone specifically for you, trying to lead you astray. Shilan continued with his words.

"Yes, I can't think of anything else right now. Liu Ye slowly stood up, and Shi Lan supported him beside him.

He looked up at the dark shop and muttered, "If you want to know the answer, you have to ask the honest and honest uncle for clarification." ”
