Chapter 43: Nocturne Under the Moon (Part 2)
Eric Brando's speech was inspiring, and Geert Pharmaceutical's eyes were mountains, rivers, stars and seas.
Even An Ling, who has nothing to do with this industry, finds it very exciting, so much so that after the dinner, she has forgotten about the extreme witcher.
This time the dinner ended perfectly, and there was no commotion during the dinner, except for a few guests who were not drinking well and vomited themselves.
Shen Yue and the others continued to be responsible for escorting Eric back to his residence, and the Foundation had arranged accommodation for them in the hotel in the past few days, so that they could arrive at the scene as soon as possible.
Gu Yun and An Ling caught the last subway, and An Ling specially chose the last carriage, only her and Gu Yun were the only two in it, leaving the noisy and noisy venue, and the tranquility at this moment was very precious.
"Gu Yun, what are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking about the speech I just made."
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be interested in giving speeches too?"
An Ling was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect the world to die 9.4 million people a year."
What is the concept of 9.4 million people?
In the long war between them and the Protoss for several years, they may not have killed so many people.
"Yes, humans are fragile."
Fragile and extremely attached to the world, she became a witch by mistake, and Avril tells her that witches have a long lifespan that ordinary people can't imagine, but this is not necessarily a completely good thing.
The vast majority of witches have experienced the death of their family members one by one, the environment changes a little, and they may even experience the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death of their offspring.
Even as powerful as the Witch of Twilight, she has not been able to find the magic of life in the Grimoire of Twilight.
The worse part is that any spell comes at a price, and the same is true for eternal youth - when the witches' skin begins to age, they have to resort to some kind of sacrifice to maintain their splendor appearance, and the method given in the Apprentice's Handbook is to drink the blood of women.
She and Avril are still young, but sooner or later, they will both have to face this choice.
So from the bottom of her heart, Anling hopes for the emergence of changemakers like Geert Pharmaceuticals and Eric Brando.
Only the sound of the subway running on the tracks is left in the carriage, and people often think about something after they get out of the hustle and bustle.
"Gu Yun."
"Huh?"
"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll lend my shoulder to lean on."
Thinking about it, her mind became a little drowsy, An Ling simply stopped delving into these things, she leaned on Gu Yun's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Then, all of a sudden, the lights in the subway went out.
Gu Yun heard footsteps gradually approaching from another carriage, the footsteps were very soft, as if he was deliberately covering his breath, he didn't get up, he didn't speak, and after a while, a person with a gas mask on his face stopped in front of them.
The masked man had a silver long sword pinned to his waist, and the barrel of the gun in his hand was facing Gu Yun's head, this dress had to remind Gu Yun of Spero-Winchester.
"Oh? You're still awake. ”
A man's voice came from under the gas mask, "But since you've been following this witch lady, it means you're the target of her spell, right?" Luckily, at least the three-headed dog didn't follow her. ”
Before going to X City, Blood Cross had conducted a thorough investigation of the Foundation, and most of the S-class and A-class employees who had appeared in public had been recorded today, and he had not seen Gu Yun among them.
"However, since you have been in the same league as the witch, there is no need to say more."
The masked man pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang-"
………………
An Ling woke up slowly, and the first thing that caught her eye was the warm orange light in the living room, she settled down, only to find that she was lying on the sofa in Gu Yun's new home, Avril was holding the operation board in her hand, and she was boringly switching channels.
She remembers falling asleep on the subway as if she were in a daze.
Why didn't Gu Yun wake her up, and invited Avril Lavigne to his new home.
Could it be......
An Ling's face flushed.
"Hey, Sister Anling, you're awake."
Avril saw that An Ling woke up and immediately turned off the TV. She just flipped around and found that there wasn't anything she wanted to see.
"Why are we in Gu Yun's house?"
Please tell me that Gu Yun suddenly opened his mind, and he was reluctant to wake me up!
Anling raised an eyebrow, suggesting that Avril say something she wanted to hear.
But apparently, Avril didn't understand the meaning of Anling's eyes, and said honestly, "Because you were attacked on the subway." ”
"Really? Then Gu Yun, is he okay? ”
An Ling suddenly sobered up, but she thought about it, as if she should have asked if the person who attacked them was okay, right?
"The boss said it was probably the Witcher of the Blood Cross who attacked you."
Avril was also shocked when she heard about this organization, because this organization is one of the few demon hunters in the current era that can make the predecessors of the association feel tricky, and the master mother once considered setting up an eyeliner in the Americas, but the seniors who were sent there were all hunted by the Blood Cross.
There is a theory that the extreme witchers have mastered a way to identify witches directly.
It's just that the boss didn't describe in detail the fight between him and the demon hunter, and when he picked her up from An Ling's house, Gu Yun was indifferent, and his tone of voice was like he had solved a gangster on the road.
As he spoke, the door opened.
"Gu Yun, where have you been?"
Seeing the person entering the door, An Ling asked subconsciously.
"A trip to a branch of the Foundation."
If it was an ordinary Moxigan thug who was knocked down by him, he might have directly left the masked man still in the subway station waiting to be discovered tomorrow morning, but this time, Shen Yue and the others' reminders attracted his attention, so he made a special trip to hand over the unconscious masked man to the expert.
He is not good at torture, but according to Shen Yue, there are many people in the branch who are very good at extracting information from prisoners, and the captain himself did not attend the dinner today, and he has been staying in the combat center to investigate the information about the Blood Cross.
In order to thank him for running this trip at night, the branch also reimbursed him for the cost of taking a round trip.
"I'm talking to Shen Yue on the phone, you can stay at her house first these days."
Gu Yun originally had no intention of intervening in the dispute between the witcher and Eric Brando, to be honest, he didn't know either of them, and he couldn't tell which was right and which was wrong, but now that these witchers had pointed the finger at An Ling, and even carried dangerous weapons, he couldn't sit idly by.
In his opinion, what Blood Cross did was no different from that of evil spirits.
