Chapter 68: Assassination Attempt!
"Mr. He, you are ......"
Lu Yiren took the hard white paper handed over by He Ruidong, quickly glanced at the text on it, and was a little surprised.
At this time, in the quaintly decorated room, the night pearl above the heads of the two of them continued to exude bursts of soft light.
It's late at night.
The dim light in the room shone on He Ruidong's angular face, Lu Yiren lowered his eyes, and there was an inexplicable meaning in those light brown eyes.
"Why, can't you?"
Ling Jundong leaned back in the chair behind him and asked in a deep voice.
“...... Of course. Evaluators who have been assessed for more than five years can terminate the cooperative relationship with the test hall at any time. ”
Lu Yiren carefully put away the hard white paper, and raised his eyes to look at the man sitting on the chair, with his big hand touching his forehead showing a slight tiredness.
"Because of that kid?"
The figure of a teenager flashed in Lu Yiren's mind, and he suddenly spoke.
Then He Ruidong raised his eyes and met those light brown eyes.
Lu Yiren slightly avoided his falcon-like eyes, and his face was still filled with a bright smile.
"Mr. He called me over so late, probably not just for this one thing to terminate the contract. ”
The wind in the summer night, with a slight coolness, slowly blew into the quaintly decorated room along the open window.
The atmosphere in the air suddenly became a little depressing, He Ruidong looked at the gray-robed man with a smile on his face in front of him, and some complex emotions gradually surged up in his cold eyes like waves.
"Definitely. ”
......
In the middle of the summer night, everything is silent.
Suddenly, the flowing clouds lying flat on the bed opened their clear eyes.
His brow furrowed slightly.
Years of night training have made his dormant state much shallower than that of ordinary martial artists. His powerful soul perception told him that there seemed to be a small sound outside the door.
It's a lot like someone's deliberately lightened footsteps.
If there is a person's deliberately light footsteps outside the door, maybe Liuyun will not be able to detect it. But if it is a martial artist with more than ten people, even if he approaches quietly with the lightest footsteps, and his soul perception is as powerful as a flowing cloud, how can he not detect it?
Gently waking up Ling Jundong and Han Rinbai, Liuyun stretched out his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture. and secretly spread the sound of the two, it may be that the Wang family is coming to find trouble.
Since the last time Liuyun suffered a big loss caused by not being able to secretly transmit sounds, the simple skill of secretly transmitting sounds was after apprenticeship with the old man Qingshan before, and Liuyun asked him for advice and learned it.
"How do you know?"
Han Rinbai asked secretly.
"Listen to the softness of the footsteps...... About a dozen teenagers about the same age as us. ”
Most of Liuyun's attention at this time was focused on the movement outside the door, and he didn't notice the jealousy that flashed in Han Rin's white eyes after he secretly transmitted the sound.
At this time, it is already the time of yin, and it is the hour when people sleep the deadliest.
The footsteps outside the door grew closer, and after a while, it became quiet.
Faintly began to sound some extremely subtle sounds outside the door. It seems that someone is picking the lock.
"You lighten up!"
Outside the door, a thin red-robed boy secretly transmitted a message to the man who was picking the lock, and the long sticks in the hands of the teenagers faintly flashed a few cold lights in the middle of the night.
"Rest assured. At this time, even a dog inside would have to sleep to death. ”
The thin young man was the one who had attempted to kill Chu Nanhe and the others before, but was stabbed in the neck by the spear picked out by Liuyun.
His name is Wang Tong, and he is the tallest young man in the group except for Wang Weiduo.
The young man who was picking the lock gave Wang Tong behind him a "reassured" look, and with an extremely slight "click" sound, the lock was picked open.
The eleven disciples of the Wang family outside the door quickly glanced at each other in the dark, and then raised their speed to the extreme, and slammed the door in.
rushed to the bed at great speed, and the various sticks in his hands were like wisps of cold light, slamming at the three small beds.
"Stop!"
Wang Tong was stunned for a moment when he smashed the stick on the bed in his hand. Then he hurriedly stopped his companions beside him.
Turning over the quilt that had already been smashed and deformed, it was not a person who was wrapped.
Rather, it is a few pieces of cotton wood with a soft texture.
"Brush!"
Wang Tong only heard the sudden sound of breaking wind in his ears, and quickly looked up, only to see a large net suddenly descending from the roof in the darkness.
Before more than a dozen people had time to dodge, they were wrapped in that big net and had a big reunion.
......
"Who are you?"
Inside the dimly lit house, a slightly hoarse voice broke the silence.
Lu Yiren was stunned when he heard this.
Then he chuckled softly, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth. The smile is like self-deprecation, mixed with a bit of vicissitudes.
"An attendant of the Chamber. ”
The answer is official, but it's true.
"Lu Yiren, I have been in the test hall for five years. In the entire testing hall, only you have the most communication. ”
He Ruidong spoke slowly.
"Yes, Mr. Ho. ”
The smile on the corner of Lu Yiren's mouth was still so kind and gentle.
"Seven years ago, I resigned as an instructor in the Prohibition Army. I came to the Tiger alone, just to find something. ”
Seven years ago, He Ruidong was originally a well-known cold-blooded instructor in the Blame Realm Forbidden Army. But no one knew what he was for, and suddenly resigned as an instructor one day seven years ago, and since then he has disappeared from the strange world.
A year later, he appeared in the Giant Tiger. And inexplicably turned into a green section leveler.
The reason for this is unknown to others.
"Do you know why I chose that boy in the first place?"
Lu Yiren shook his head slowly.
He Ruidong's lips opened slightly, and the deep scar on his face trembled slightly.
"Sometimes...... He's really like my former brother. ”
There was a trace of sadness in those cold eyes. But in the next moment, that sorrow is fleeting.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little dry.
"Your brother...... Or have you never been home?"
Lu Yiren lowered his eyes, said in a soft tone, and said thoughtfully.
In the five years that He Ruidong has been an evaluator, he has lived in the testing hall for a few months of the year. The other attendants in the test hall all shy away from He Ruidong's cold temperament, conspicuous scars, and terrifying eyes, only Lu Yiren, like a gust of spring breeze, has always smiled at everyone.
For many sleepless days late at night, when Lu Yiren came out to breathe, he would meet He Ruidong, who was also unable to sleep, and in this regard, he also knew a little about He Ruidong.
"Not long ago, because of something about him...... I went to the water forest. ”
"Although I couldn't find any information about him at the moment, he was there...... Found this. ”
He Ruidong said as he slowly took out something from his sleeve.
It was a small piece of broken jade with an extremely incomplete shape. The sharp edges and corners shone in the soft light of the Night Pearl, and the dark brown light pierced into Lu Yiren's eyes.
The pale brown pupils contracted.
He Ruidong raised his head and met the light brown eyes.
"So...... Who the hell are you?"
