Moths to the fire
"Tiantai, it's Tiantai again, how can I be so close to Tiantai recently!"
In the starlight of the night, the young man whined as he staggered at full speed and rushed down the alley to a brightly lit building in front of him. Against the backdrop of darkness on both sides, the building in the center of the field of view is as striking as a flaming torch, making it impossible to take your eyes off it, but only to enter it and become a part of it.
Behavior like this is a bit like a moth to a fire. The man suddenly thought of this sentence and shuddered for no reason.
This young man who was panting and didn't forget to complain was naturally Xiang Nanxing, who had just experienced a big battle before. Although he had long since come out of that masquerade-like game called "Real Name", he still retained some unreal feelings until this moment. But a large part of this feeling is due to his body - Xiang Nanxing ran all the way, staggering, and almost tripped over himself several times, all thanks to this suddenly unfamiliar body.
Not long ago, he had just woken up from a coma. The dose of anesthetic needle that Ji Fenghua shot from behind was enough to put down a professional athlete like Xiong Kuohai, and it was naturally easy to deal with Xiang Nanxing. For a long time after waking up, because the sequelae caused by anesthesia had not faded, he clearly felt that his mind was slowing down, and the whole part of his body was no longer his own, and his gestures were obviously slower than his thoughts, and even standing up and walking two steps felt like stepping on soft cotton, and he was about to fall down in the next second.
It took a long time for this awkward feeling to recover somewhat, at least it allowed him to barely walk. However, at this time, another problem came to him. In the previous battle with Xiong Kuohai, Xiang Nanxing was hit by his heavy punch and suffered a lot of injuries at that time. He then used the effect of the anesthetic to temporarily reduce his pain, and the combination of the adrenaline secreted in large quantities during the tense situation at the time made him barely survive the game. In the final stage of the game, this part of the anesthetic effect gradually wears off, but a new anesthetic is added, which makes him not feel pain in his body for a while.
However, at this time, as the anesthesia gradually wore off, these long-dormant pains woke up again. As long as Xiang Nanxing moves a little bigger, he will affect the injury, and it feels like a saw is slowly frustrating there, and even the bones are creaking.
Fortunately, he was not the only one present at the time, there was also a local tyrant friend. The medical team summoned by Ji Fenghua in advance finally arrived at that time, and after a period of emergency treatment, Xiang Nanxing was anesthetic, applied injury medicine and fixed the injured part, and then put on protective gear, and finally recovered his usual mobility of sixty or seventy percent.
Bed rest is certainly warranted in this case, as any doctor would recommend. It's a pity that Xiang Nanxing doesn't have such a leisurely time. The time it takes to recover from the after-effects of anesthesia, the time spent waiting for the medical team, and the time it takes to treat the injury urgently, every second of it is precious to him who needs to rush to a certain place.
After all, Nangong Qian could leave at any time.
Yes, among the dinner party and Nangong Qian, Xiang Nanxing chose the latter. When Yue Ming handed him the invitation to the dinner together with the piece of paper with the address of the helicopter's take-off and landing point, and asked him to take one of them, Xiang Nanxing did not hesitate to take the piece of paper.
"You're not curious about your questions anymore?" Yue Ming looked at him with a smile.
"There will be opportunities in the future." There was no trace of regret in Xiang Nanxing's tone. Yue Ming looked at him carefully, but he couldn't find the chagrin, anger, or regret he expected to see on his face. For Xiang Nanxing, Nangong Qian's situation was of course an unexpected accident, but this accident was not something he could control, even if he did it again, he who was still here at the venue at the time would not be able to affect the situation on the other side, not to mention that these were already established facts and could not be changed.
In this case, he must break away from those superfluous emotions and think about what to do next.
On one side is the information that will have a chance to know in the future, and on the other side is the person who may not be seen for the rest of his life if he lets go. For him, such a choice between two is of course a result that he doesn't have to think about.
"Well, I hope you can do a miracle." Yue Ming smiled and said half-jokingly.
By "miracle" he certainly doesn't mean just "meeting". Although the two locations are far apart, if you go all out, you can probably catch up. But Xiang Nanxing's purpose is obviously not only this. Yue Ming could see that what he was thinking about at this time was something else entirely.
- Keep her.
If it was when Nangong Qian was incognito before, it might be possible to do this. But at this time, the Nangong family had already contacted her, and even sent someone out to pick her up, and of course all this was on the table. If Xiang Nanxing wanted to keep her, he had to fight against the power of the Nangong family as an ordinary person. In this regard, of course, he has no chance of winning. Whether it is personal combat power or the surrounding forces and influences, Xiang Nanxing is like an ant who doesn't need to be paid attention to at all in front of the Nangong family, no matter how hard he tries, he can't toss anything, the latter is occasionally in the mood, and he can be crushed to death directly with a single finger.
There may be a way to resolve this peacefully, but as Yue Ming said, this is unless it is a miracle.
Xiang Nanxing was naturally clear about these things, but at this moment he didn't want to think too far ahead. Anyway, meet her first—he started with that in mind.
However, the resistance has already begun to play its part.
Just looking at the address in front of him, Xiang Nanxing seemed to be able to see the full malice behind him, as well as the premeditated calculations. According to Yue Ming's introduction, there are a total of four games in four places this time, corresponding to the four so-called "candidates" of course. Among them, the venues where Xiang Nanxing and Nangong Qian are located happen to be the two farthest away, and there are several locations suitable for helicopters to take off and land in the middle of the two venues. However, the take-off and landing point chosen by the Nangong family was not any of them, but on an ordinary building farther away on the extension line. It's almost like Xiang Nanxing is trying to run a few more steps.
"And it's not enough, it's full of malice. The take-off and landing point was also deliberately chosen on the top of a building that is surrounded by road construction, all in order to prevent cars from easily approaching from the ground! ”
Xiang Nanxing finally ran to the bottom of the building, and didn't forget to take the time to complain before rushing in. After wasting so much time, he certainly thought about how to get some back. Of course, the most useful of these is the cars that the members of the medical team drive when they rush here. The chief surgeon who drove the fastest in the team condescended to be his driver, and the car raced all the way, and after a while, he arrived near the building written on the address. It was only because of the road construction that the car couldn't drive under the building, so there was the scene at the beginning where Xiang Nanxing ran with all his strength in the alley with an injury.
But fortunately, the other party is not so mad as to stop the elevator that goes directly to the upper floors - but if you think about it carefully, this may also be a means to invite you into the urn, and then cut off the power halfway to trap the pursuers.
Xiang Nanxing stood at the elevator entrance and hesitated for a second, but finally mustered up the courage to walk in. As a result, he no longer had the physical strength to deal with so many flights of stairs, and he had run more steps in half a day than he had in a month combined, and at this time both feet felt like they were going to cramp, and he was lucky to be able to run in the alley just now. Second, with the experience of being in the elevator shaft just now, Xiang Nanxing felt that even if he was trapped inside, he might not be able to escape from it.
On top of that, he has no time to waste now. In the process of the rapid rise of the elevator, Xiang Nanxing could already faintly hear the sound of "popping and popping" overhead, and through the double shielding of the elevator shaft and the car, the sound was still quite clear. It's the sound of the propellers starting to turn, in other words, the helicopter on the rooftop is about to depart.
"I'm going to catch up!"
The moment the elevator door opened, Xiang Nanxing let out a low roar, cheering himself on. He took a deep breath and dragged his heavy body across the last two flights of stairs before pushing open the door to the rooftop.
"Wait a minute!"
While shouting, Xiang Nanxing had already rushed out without hesitation. He didn't expect his shout to actually leave people behind, but if he could create a brief period of chaos, he might be able to......
"Huh?"
Xiang Nanxing stopped suddenly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. In front of him, the propeller of the helicopter was rotating at a constant speed, the fuselage had not yet left the ground, and there was no intention of rushing to leave. Nangong Qian's familiar side face was in the window of the cabin, Xiang Nanxing's shout reached her ears through the noise made by the propellers, and at this time she had already turned her head, and her face showed a complicated expression mixed with surprise and sadness for a moment.
At this moment, both of them seemed to have a lot to say, but Xiang Nanxing couldn't say anything. This is not the kind of emotion that is often said in love, and there is no way to get out. The atmosphere between the two of them at this moment is not the romance of the hero's last-minute arrival, but something else.
It's horror!
Xiang Nanxing turned his head slowly, as if he had exhausted all his strength to barely raise his eyes to look at the source of the terror. It was a middle-aged man in a white suit, with one foot on the helicopter pedal and the other on the rooftop, apparently in the middle of boarding. At this time, he just turned his head to look this way, without any movement, without saying anything, and not even the expression on his face fluctuated in the slightest.
But just by looking at him, Xiang Nanxing felt as if he had been killed countless times.
