Three o'clock in the morning.

The barbecue stalls in the streets and alleys are beginning to come to an end, and there is still an hour or so before the opening time of the breakfast shops in the vegetable market, which should be the quietest time in the whole Tonghua Street.

In an alley near the street, inside a dark window, a thick rope suddenly fell down.

The rope was a little thick and strong, and when it was thrown against the wall, it made a soft click. Wei Xiao's movements stopped instantly, and he waited under the window for a while before poking his head out slightly and glancing down.

The alley was still so quiet that not even the wild cats that came out to rummage through the garbage cans at this time did not appear.

Wei Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, pulled the rope and pulled it tightly twice, and after making sure that there were no problems, he turned over and climbed onto the windowsill. Pull the rope with both hands, press your feet against the wall, and move down step by step.

In order to prevent the noise of stepping on the wall too much, she also specially changed into a pair of ballet shoes, which are so light that they don't look like they are wearing shoes, and there is an unreal feeling of stepping on the air.

The spring of Rongcheng this year is particularly short, in March, they are still wearing thick cotton jackets or down jackets, and by the end of April, they will change to single-layer sweatshirts. There is no need to drag thick and bulky clothes, as if it is like taking off the armor, there is a kind of so-called lightness.

Wei Xiao shook his arm, feeling that he was so relaxed now that he seemed to be able to fly.

She managed to jump from above, landing with little noise, as light as a cat.

Wei Xiao dragged the rope and pulled it behind the air conditioner on the first floor to hide, as long as he rushed back before dawn, he would not be discovered.

After dealing with it, Wei Xiao unconsciously touched the long knife behind his back, and a nervousness inexplicably appeared in his heart.

This was not her first action, but she felt an unprecedented apprehension, and her heart was like someone pressing it with a stone, tightly blocked, and a little breathless.

The stone in his hand felt a slight coolness at this time, Wei Xiao looked around, and sneaked into the night with a long knife on his back.

After she left, the black cat appeared leisurely with small steps, its golden pupils that were very obvious in the night, but soon became dim again.

In the middle of the night when no one is active, it should be extremely quiet, but when Wei Xiao walked on the street, he felt that his senses had been magnified countless times in an instant, and his ears were full of the rustle of leaves slightly turning with the night breeze.

At the end of Tonghua Street, there is a riverside square, where the three most famous rivers converge, and the sound of water, which is never heard during the day, is clearly divided at this time.

Everything seems to have life, and after the human beings stop moving, they begin to revelry.

"Babble-"

There was a hissing in the distance, quick but short, and then drowned out in the sound of the water.

Wei Xiao lay motionless on a low slope by the river, staring intently at the water's edge, the hand holding the long knife was slightly sweaty, she involuntarily let go, and then held it tightly again.

The sound of the water began to gradually become louder, as if it was like the sound of the tide rising and falling on the seashore, rattling and tugging at people's heartstrings again and again.

The feeling of being tightly pressed by a stone in Wei Xiao's heart became stronger and stronger.

Finally, just as the critical point was about to be reached, the river exploded.

Rising at the same time as the splash, there were two black shadows that were originally lying on their stomachs in front, Wei Xiao originally wanted to step forward for a moment, and then lowered his body slightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, staring at all the movements that were happening not far away.

As the water splashed, two black figures also fell, and in front of them was a huge, purple water floating lotus.

Or rather, mutated water floating lotus.

It was dark at night, but with the help of the faint moonlight, you could still see the purple on the top of the flowers. Looking down, you can faintly see that the entire river surface is covered with a light purple light.

It's like a lavender circle.

The whole river is overgrown with water floating lotus!

"Can a place with such a large flow of water be polluted?" Wei Xiao muttered quietly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the two figures in front of her actually followed each other, fighting each other in close quarters, making a burst of clanging sounds.

The weapons used by the two people are swords, obviously not very skilled, not only to prevent being stabbed by the other party, but also to use the advantage to keep moving forward, there is no real ruthlessness, and in the end they can't get up or down, the two simply threw down their weapons, and fought hand-to-hand, almost like rolling in the mud.

"There is no professionalism at all, and it is really not professional enough." Wei Xiao sighed, and after making sure that neither of them would notice him, he moved slightly to the side, holding the long knife and quietly walking down the slope.

The soles of the ballet shoes were so soft that when he stepped on the fine sand by the river, he seemed to be able to feel the water under his feet constantly soaking up, with a kind of bone-chilling coldness, Wei Xiao couldn't help but shiver.

While the two were still fighting in the mud, Wei Xiao kept paying attention to the movements of the two while constantly walking towards the huge water floating lotus.

When he walked to the two sides, Wei Xiao looked around, stepped straight into the river, and slowly walked towards the central part step by step.

The purple river covered with water floating lotus looks like an impenetrable patch, but when you really walk in it, you are not affected by the unexpected resistance of the river water at all.

"It's all illusions, it's all illusions." Wei Xiao whispered a few words, then opened his eyes and continued to walk.

"Damn, things are going to be robbed!"

"There's someone in front, don't fight, don't fight!"

"Then you should stop!"

"You let me go first, hurry up."

The sound of the two arguing not far away came, Wei Xiao quickly glanced back, seeing that the two were about to reach an agreement, they stopped beating each other and rushed towards their side, and immediately didn't care about anything else, and quickly walked a few steps forward.

After passing through the position on the edge of the river, the river easily overflows to the waist, and if you continue on, you may sink into some mud and sand pit.

There was a sound of rushing water from behind, it should be someone who also walked down from the shore, Wei Xiao didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand, and spread out his palm, and there was a golden stone inside.

"Break the formation-" Wei Xiao threw the stone on the huge water floating lotus, and then clenched the long knife in his hand.

Originally, it was just a water floating lotus that was calm with a bright purple light, but after the golden spar collided, the air around it seemed to turn into water waves, which were stirred up layer by layer.

It was at this time that Wei Xiao waved his long knife and stepped up hard, and he actually broke into the circle smashed by the spar like this.

There was not much difference from what I saw by the river just now, the only difference was that Wei Xiao did not continue to be waist-deep in the water, but was already standing in mid-air.

Obviously, there was nothing under his feet, but Wei Xiao felt that every step seemed to be walking on the ground, and everything was as smooth as he walked.

It's just—

Can't look down.

Wei Xiao was never used to this feeling of vacating the air, and after accidentally glancing down, he suddenly felt as if his hair had exploded, and the hand holding the long knife was covered with a layer of fine sweat.

I didn't feel much when I was below, but I felt that the water floating lotus in the center of the river was too tall and too big, and the purple flowers on it were a little unreal. But when he was really standing here now, Wei Xiao was shocked to realize how exaggerated the mutation of the water floating lotus in front of him was.

The other petals are relatively light purple, only the petal of each flower near the center of the stalk, Cheng shows a deeper purple, and there is a light yellow point in the center of the petal.

The original normal appearance has now been magnified countless times, and after the bright purple light is still bubbling on it, it looks even more bewitching.

The pale yellow of the petals, as if given life, began to ripple like water waves. Together, the whole flower, the whole water floating lotus, and even the entire water floating lotus on the river surface began to shake slightly.

Wei Xiao closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and when he opened his eyes again, he took a few big steps forward, and slashed straight at one of the purple petals with a long knife.

The blade of the long knife after special smelting shines more brightly in the moonlight, and it looks very sharp. But when it was cut down on the water floating lotus flower, which looked quite fragile, it made a deep sound as if it had cut down some thousand-year-old tree.

"Hold the grass, it's too hard to cut." Wei Xiao scolded in a low voice, and after pulling out the knife, he slashed it again.

Like a hardworking worker in a lumberyard.

Fortunately, the long knife was sharper, and after cutting off one of the petals, Wei Xiao also found the feel and know-how, and it was easier to operate later.

She chopped off the stalks before the new hedron brokes could come in.

In an instant, there seemed to be some huge tremor in the air, and the purple light that was still bubbling was completely extinguished at this time, and the air began to flow like a stream of water.

Wei Xiao had just grabbed a piece of gravel that had been pulled out of the stalk, and was immediately slapped into the water by the huge moving air, causing a half-human-high splash.

When she was slapped on the surface of the water, Wei Xiao only felt that something was smashed by something, and the river was overwhelming, completely drowning her, and even her sense of hearing and touch disappeared completely at this time.

Mixed with the sound of the water was a slight rustling sound, as if something was passing quickly.

The world has completely returned to silence, except-

"She's out, get on!"

"It should be in the center of the river, swim over!"

"It's annoying." Wei Xiao came back to his senses, silently complained in his heart, took a deep breath of air, and dived into the river again.

The river water in late spring and early summer always had a biting coldness, and when Wei Xiao felt that his whole body was about to tremble, he rushed out of the water.

"Thankfully!" Wei Xiao looked around, she had swam far away now, and the two people just now didn't find her, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and began to swim slowly towards the river.

As soon as the night breeze came, the clothes that were still dripping on his body stuck to his body like some ice cubes, and Wei Xiao couldn't help but shiver and let out a long sneeze.

Wei Xiao threw the long knife on the ground, and while wringing out the water in his clothes with one hand, he thought about it with one hand. Spread out his palms, looked at the fragments with a light purple light on it, and sighed: "I don't know how much it can be sold, I will definitely catch a cold when I go back today, and the medical expenses are a lot of expenses." ”

When the clothes were almost wrung up, Wei Xiao picked up the long knife and began to walk back, but this time the route was a little farther than just now, so as to avoid encountering the two people just now.

Today's action was unexpectedly easy, and on the way back, Wei Xiao's mood gradually became relaxed.

Raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, at four o'clock in the morning, it is estimated that the breakfast shop downstairs will start to open in a while, to avoid being touched, Wei Xiao sped up his pace forward.

It was a little early in April, and Tonghua Street, which was empty an hour ago, has now become more popular in the faint morning light.

It is estimated that because of the weekdays, the breakfast shop downstairs opened earlier, and when Wei Xiao just walked to the opposite side, he saw that Sister Zhao was opening the door, it seemed that she was cleaning, and she had been walking around the door. Wei Xiao was suddenly frightened and involuntarily took two steps back, approached the corner, and quietly waited for the person opposite to enter the house.

After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, Sister Zhao turned around and walked into the store.

Wei Xiao involuntarily breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to take the opportunity to walk forward, when the corner of his eye swept over the pillar plastered with small advertisements next to him, and he was stunned.

In addition to the small sticker advertisements of various palm-sized flowers, there is another larger green paper pasted on it, which looks very eye-catching.

Wei Xiao didn't hesitate, directly tore off the advertisement, found the opportunity, and ran into the opposite alley.

Shortly after she turned to leave, a piece of paper identical to the previous one appeared in the same place on the pillar.
