Chapter 37: Li Daosheng
Mr. Skeleton was scared of Chen Xian, but at the same time he liked Chen Xian, at least for now, because it could sense that Chen Xian was not like the people he remembered...... It's not like they're driven by what they use as tools.
He can clearly feel that Chen Xian and himself are so-called friends, at most, Dingtian is the connection between superiors and subordinates, and there is nothing else mixed in with it, and this kind of calm feeling Chen Xian never hides it, almost how he treats Lu Yisheng, is how he treats himself.
What is a friend?
Mr. Skeleton used to be very curious about this special relationship between humans and humans, because he could always hear this term in the mouths of Chen Xian and others, as if it was some kind of deep ...... Emotional or spiritual connection.
When it came into this world free from the shackles of a meat saw, it quickly learned how humans get along with each other, and instinctively learned human feelings, perhaps he already had these, but he was never "activated".
The human who had the greatest influence on him in this process was Chen Xian, he could feel that Chen Xian was good to him, whether it was daily care or some care from time to time, that way of getting along made him forget that he was an abnormal life many times, although he was an outlier compared to humans...... But Chen Xian never seemed to care about this.
Although Chen Xian sometimes murders him, is also very good at scaring him, and will say things like "If you don't obey, I will eat you" from time to time, it is undeniable that Chen Xian cares about him no less than he cares about Mu He...... Perhaps because of this, Mr. Skeleton also found himself relying more and more on Chen Xian.
He was originally an anomalous life who didn't know what loneliness was, but the longer he was in contact with Chen Xian, the richer the human-like emotions he had, and naturally he understood what loneliness was...... When no one is around, it's lonely.
Friends will accompany you.
Friends don't let themselves feel the loneliness of being in a foreign land.
Friends are a good thing.
Friend...... It's a creature that's important to you.
"Lowly life."
Mr. Skeleton stood behind Li Songran, looking at this strange young man, for some reason the anger in his heart began to intensify, and for the first time he felt the emotion of wanting to eat the other party alive.
Although Li Songran only had a verbal conflict with Chen Xian, in Mr. Skull's opinion, this was already a capital crime.
A lowly being would dare to insult his friend.
There is no point in surviving.
"It's a pity that Chen Xian doesn't allow me to eat people...... Otherwise, I would like to get a taste of what modern humans are like......."
More and more bloodshot appeared in the whites of Mr. Skeleton's eyes, and the dense blood-colored cobwebs were cascading and crowded in his eyes, gradually dyeing the entire eyeball scarlet blood, like two gems that could emit a strange light in the middle of the night, making people feel chills all over their bodies.
Li Songran wanted to escape, his biological instinctive sixth sense was frantically reminding him to flee, because the tall thin man in the suit and leather shoes he was facing at the moment was not something he could defeat at all.
Although his appearance was similar to that of a human, Li Songran could intuitively feel the ...... in Mr. Skeleton's body The chill that bordered on the injustice of a demon, the blood-colored eyes were like the eyes of a beast, and the cold eyes were not at all looking at the prey, but like looking at a straw that could break at any moment and was worthless.
With a clear sound of unsheathing, Mr. Skeleton suddenly pulled out the blade hidden in the umbrella bone, and the narrow blade was even more inconspicuous under the illumination of the headlights, and only a metal line covered with black markings could be seen.
Mr. Skeleton is not human, so there are some human feelings that he lacks, such as compassion.
In this case, he didn't think of keeping his hand at all, and he didn't realize how brutal it was to kill someone because of a verbal conflict, so he raised his hand and slashed at Li Songran's neck with a knife.
Since Mr. Skeleton killed without any warning, and unlike Inhumans, he didn't treat humans as creatures of equal status, so he didn't show the slightest murderous aura from beginning to end...... Just like a human trampling an ant, there will be no intuitive killing intent in the process of trampling it.
Chen Xian could only feel the anger of Mr. Skeleton who wanted to devour the other party alive, he really didn't expect this bone frame to be cold and dry, so when Mr. Skeleton drew his knife and cut it down, Chen Xian didn't even have a chance to react.
Seeing that the slender blade was about to slash at Li Songran's neck, only to hear the crisp sound of metal colliding, a two-finger-wide long sword was picked up diagonally from the side without warning, and the blade in Mr. Skeleton's hand was instantly opened, and at that moment, Li Songran was also dragged away by the person next to him, and he left the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
"Don't kill."
At this moment, Chen Xian had already walked up quickly, like grabbing a child who was making trouble outside, and he grabbed Mr. Skeleton's arm and walked back for fear that he would have more trouble.
"it...... Is Brother Bone so ruthless......" Lu Yisheng's eyes widened, remembering his time with Mr. Skeleton, and recalling that he joked about him from time to time and ridiculed him, only to feel that the hairs on his back stood up, and he was grateful to Brother Bone for his grace not to kill.
Wang Sanjiang is not a Lu Yisheng, after Mr. Skeleton put on this skin, he couldn't recognize this as a blood-colored giant skeleton showing off his might on Lingxi Mountain, so he had a very superficial impression of Mr. Skeleton, and only felt that he was a stranger with a somewhat introverted personality.
"This ..... This guy is good......" Wang Sanjiang smiled dryly, the expression on his face was a little nervous, "The knife is crisp enough......"
Mu He stood aside, and when she saw Chen Xian dragging Mr. Skeleton back, she seemed to be a little unhappy, because in her opinion, there was nothing wrong with what Mr. Skeleton did, and that man dared to scold a super good person like Chen Xian...... It's a matter of taking a slash, right??
"You don't want me to kill him?" Mr. Skeleton was holding the knife in one hand, and the other hand was dragged by Chen Xian, and there was a puzzled look on his pale face, "He scolded you just now, aren't you angry that your heart is so small?" ”
“.......”
Chen Xian can admit that he is small-minded, and he can also admit that he is particularly grudgeful, but he definitely doesn't want to expose it in front of outsiders, after all, he still pays attention to his image, so as soon as he heard Mr. Skeleton's words, he immediately threw a knife in the eye.
"Shut up!"
"Oh......"
Mr. Skeleton looked quite aggrieved, because in his opinion, this was to anger Chen Xian, but he couldn't imagine how much trouble his actions would bring to Chen Xian, if the knife was not blocked by the Li family, Li Songran would be directly hacked to death on the spot...... According to the regulations of the Secret Bureau, Mr. Skeleton had to pay for his life, and he had to go to prison in the Great Northwest for the last time.
"Section Chief Chen, is your subordinate so angry?"
Hearing this polite voice, Chen Xian glanced back, and it was the son of the Li family who had saved Li Songran with his sword before.
Li Daosheng.
At this moment, the expression on Li Daosheng's face still hasn't changed, as if nothing has happened before, even if Li Songran's younger brother was scared half to death, Li Daosheng still has that modest and polite smile, his gentle gaze makes people feel more comfortable, and his voice is as soft as a spring breeze.
Of course, it's okay to deceive others with this kind of performance.
In Chen Xian's eyes, Li Daosheng is a pure pretend. Forced offender, and from a certain point of view, he is very similar to Xu Sanhan who has offended himself, and his gentle and kind smile is the same as that of a beating.
But hate is hate, at this time Chen Xian still gave him a thumbs up and said in front of everyone.
"Li Gongzi is good at martial arts, I Chen Xian praise you!"
“......”
Li Daosheng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that Chen Xian would react like this at all, because judging from Chen Xian's facial expression, he didn't mean to be angry at all, and that kind of gratitude was still from the bottom of his heart, the smile on his face was extremely real, and he looked at himself as if he was looking at a life-saving benefactor.
"The children of the Li family in the southwest are worthy of being the descendants of the sword immortals, and this sword is really good." Chen Xian said truthfully, his face full of admiration, "There are not a few strangers I have seen in my life, but if it is compared to the ability to play swords, maybe Li Gongzi should be the first to play swords!" ”
"This ..... Section Chief Chen praised it falsely. Li Daosheng said modestly, although it felt good to hear Chen Xian praise himself, but he didn't know why, he faintly felt that Chen Xian was scolding him.
Conscience of heaven and earth!
Chen Xian really didn't scold!
Really!
"Brother Li doesn't have to be modest."
Chen Xian smiled, with admiration on his face, and his heart was full of heartfelt gratitude.
"There are ten fights of swordsmanship in the world, Brother Li has nine fights, and the people of the world share one fight, which deserves this praise!"
"Brother Chen spoke too politely." Li Daosheng's smile gradually became awkward.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm never polite to others."
Chen Xian clenched his fists and arched his hand to Li Daosheng, then quickly walked to Mu He's side, stretched out his hand very abruptly, and pointed to the stains on Mu He's clothes.
"Brother Li, we have to be reasonable, these mud marks are not easy to wash, and the clothes are quite expensive."
Chen Xian grinned, revealing a smile that was quite like an old liar.
"Otherwise, we'll be private, and you can lose some money to buy her a new dress."
"Losing money?"
Li Daosheng was stunned for a moment, and nodded instinctively, because he was not bad for money.
"No problem, you say how much you pay."
"Eight million."
“???”
