Burial of Youth: Chapter 16 The Man Who Returned
"Your aunt is here?" Facing Mo Xiaoxue, who exploded instantly after hearing that I was going to recommend He Jing to work in the hanging sword, I had to speculate on the possibility of her eldest aunt being ahead of schedule.
"You should be a hanging sword and a vegetable market, huh?"
"Hmm......" I thought seriously for a few seconds about this question, "It seems really?" ”
Mo Xiaoxue rubbed her temples and said with a sigh: "There are a lot of procedures to go through for the recruitment personnel of the Hanging Sword, and you also know that you arranged a test for your fox friends last time and got it overnight, right?" ”
"Isn't that right? By the way, I added her to it. "I said it as a matter of course.
"Not by the way, okay, hey! Even if you are a legendary agent who has made great contributions to the hanging sword, you have opened too many small stoves! ”
"I'll tell you the truth," my tone became serious, "it's not a case where you can do it alone, I need a team. ”
Mo Xiaoxue exclaimed: "You want to ......"
I nodded, "It's time for a change, I used to run around the world by myself, and now ...... When the more relaxed daily routine at school is over, go back to the days of running around... Ahem, well, I don't want to be alone anymore, I need your help. ”
"So you can be lazy, right?" Yan Yurou revealed the truth in one word.
“…… I knew how Lin Tianxiang could say such sensational words. Mo Xiaoxue sighed helplessly.
S-class agents with hanging swords, allowed to have their own action teams (with the exception of S-class agents themselves, the number of whom is limited to a maximum of ten. But I thought that managing myself was troublesome and idle, and it hurt to manage others? Therefore, I did not use this privilege and continued to deal with special events on my own. At most, Yan Yurou or Mo Xiaoxue should be a "person in a wheelchair".
But now it's different, and I always have a gut feeling that from the moment I enter the school, there's an invisible web weaving behind us, and when the time comes, it's going to catch it all.
I don't have the great ambition to save the world, but for the sake of myself and the people who matter to me to be alive, I must crush everything that disturbs my peace.
"If you decide to do so, that's fine, but you can think about it, even if they are sane, the test will see more than that."
Mo Xiaoxue said to me finally before entering the house.
The admission test of the hanging sword, for some reason, I have inexplicable confidence in them, and what I care more about is whether it is correct to pull them down this deep water. Except for Wang Tuming, who doesn't know the depth of strength, the other guys are all ordinary people, if one of them had an accident that day, and it would be my fault to pursue its responsibility, or agree with them to join the hanging sword.
"Huh......"
Yanyurou's hand lightly covered the back of my hand, she seemed to see my inner thoughts, the corners of her mouth showed a shallow smile, and her slightly cold voice did not lose a trace of tenderness.
"Because it's you, so, no problem."
"I'm not as good as you." I was a little embarrassed by the smoke and rain.
No matter how much I intensify my training, my combat power is not worth mentioning in front of this mysterious girl. So far, I've never seen her burst into full force, not even the last time she was besieged by the Facelings, or when she faced Simmons the Raven Hunter...... I don't think it's that she doesn't want to, it's that she needs something to bring out her greater potential.
"My strength comes from you." Yanyurou replied with a puzzling sentence.
Well, it's not the time to care about these things, I'll have to prepare tomorrow.

However, when school started the next day, something unforeseen happened.
Liu Yixin, the girl who had been missing for several days, suddenly appeared at school. It can be said that her appearance is as bizarre as her sudden disappearance.
She appeared at four o'clock in the morning and was spotted by patrolling security guards near the school's flower beds. The girl was in a comatose state, and everything was normal.
"Is it really normal?"
Looking at the girl in a trance through the double-way mirror, I couldn't help frowning.
"The murderer's purpose is Liu Yixin, so he wants to obstruct the investigation, but why did the murderer release her?" Chen Zi thought about it less, and then thought of a strange place.
"Could it be that the murderer was tired of playing captivity (anti-harmony brackets) Play, so he threw her back? I'm so smart, the more I think about it, the more likely it is. ”
Unexpectedly, Yan Yurou agreed with Chen Zishao's speculation of breaking through the sky......
"Well, after all, the murderer is probably just a student who has just learned that he has special abilities, and it's not impossible to get tired of playing and then return it."
If it weren't for what happened that night, and the girl's bizarre "suffocation" to death, I would have considered this possibility, but now this speculation is just a "possibility".
I couldn't find any clues from Liu Yixin at all.
Liu Yixin, who was in the interrogation room, had been in a sluggish and delirious state, no matter what Officer Zhao asked, she shook her head stiffly like a doll.
"Leave it to her parents, it's best not to go to school until the matter is settled." As I spoke, I turned my gaze to Mo Xiaoxue, "I said, don't you like to listen to gossip the most?" Do you want you to inquire about it? ”
"Liu Yixin's lace is too much, which one do you want to listen to?"
"What color panties does she like to wear?"
- Of course, this sentence is not what I said.
"Can you get out of the way for me?" Mo Xiaoxue kicked Chen Zishao away, and then faced me with a serious face.
"Speaking of which, I heard something I'm really concerned about—"
Every school has seven incredible events in the legend, and our fourth middle school also has it.
Since the other six are not relevant to this case, I will not mention them here, but here I will focus on the "non-existent paintings" about the school art building.
Gu students say that when night falls, there is an extra non-existent painting on the wall in the southwest corner of the studio, and every time that painting appears, it will show a different style of work, sometimes abstract, sometimes portrait, sometimes landscape...... The only thing that is the same is "weird." ”
Not only that, but the weirdest part is......
All who have seen the painting will disappear.
Never came back.
"And on the day Liu Yixin disappeared, the place where she and Wang Wenzhou met was in the studio."
I frowned: "Are you suspecting that there may be no murderer at all in this matter, and that it was a supernatural phenomenon that caused Liu Yixin's disappearance?" ”
Mo Xiaoxue nodded,
"Well, there's another hypothesis," Yan Yurou paused, "the killer doesn't have any powers, but is using some kind of supernatural object or something. ”
Yan Yurou's words made a figure appear in my mind,
The culprit who killed Huang Yuxuan,
Chen is immortal.
