Chapter 85: The Sea of Flowers (6)
After walking around the underground secret room, Xue Qiong went back to his room to sleep. It's not that he doesn't want to play in the fresh environment of the coffin, but after all, considering that the next day is the full moon, if he consumes unnecessary energy, he will have a lot of trouble.
In the early morning, without waiting for the sun to rise, Xue Qiong got up from the bed.
This is to feel the change of the environment, the instinctive stress reaction - the rich and thick "yin qi" in the castle, suddenly dispersed.
If it were an ordinary person living in such an environment full of yin energy, he would definitely shiver from time to time, have nightmares and rheumatism, and he would go crazy in a few days, but Xue Qiong was a person who used dark attribute energy after all, and he felt quite cool and comfortable here... So for him, the feeling of yin dissipating is like when you sleep until the middle of the night and suddenly someone turns off the air conditioner.
Xue Qiong was shocked in his heart, and the yin qi dispersed, didn't it explain their source... Fortunately, when he calmed down, he could sense the energy response in the basement and the second bedroom, and it was much stronger than usual.
"It's... It's all sucked away? ā
Xue Qiong silently calculated the total amount of those yin qi, and then counted the two of them who were actually still in a very stable non-combat state... And then I got a pretty exaggerated number.
When I opened the curtains, I could see that the sky was already white, but under the morning light, there was not even a trace of wind. If the gusts of wind here used to make people panic, then now this strange silence is even more silent and makes people almost crazy.
However, the situation in the flower field is quite good, the lilies that have just bloomed are stained with dew, bathed in the morning light, quietly releasing a refreshing fragrance, and next to the Manzhu Sawa that is about to bloom, it also shows a little bit of momentum.
"So... What kind of drama have you in store for me? ā
On this day, Canquillo was also ready to go out as before, and it was not surprising that when the sun had already sunburned his buttocks, he appeared lazily at the gate of the manor, and the resolute and simple, but beautiful blonde girl was already waiting there.
Seeing her standing in the midst of a field of blooming lilies, Canquillo had an illusion.
In this beautiful picture, it seems that people and flowers are completely integrated, and although the air is still, the elegant aroma still spreads into the nasal cavity, and for a second, Canquillo even thinks that this should be the smell of her body...
"Wow!" Sensing that his heart was beating violently, Canquillo pretended to be calm and went up to talk, "It's going well, don't you have to thank that guy?" ā
He also knew about bets between sisters.
However, Artoria smiled bitterly, and straightened the hair on her sideburns a little helplessly, and then said: "That, in fact, I don't know why, I always feel that Mr. Chicken Ding is a little difficult to approach..."
When she showed her discomfort with Xue Qiong, there seemed to be a villain in Cankilo's heart who swung two punches forward, yes!!
"That," Canquillo rubbed his hands, "and going to town today?" ā
Artoria nodded, her face a little more solemn, "Hmm. ā
In the past few days, the two have been investigating a series of mysterious disappearances in the town.
They insisted on doing it for the same starting point, and it was the same at the beginning. Artoria is simply born out of the sense of justice in chivalry, while Canquillo is born out of professional habits, and the sense of justice that does not require any chivalry and is deep in the marrow of the Orientals.
It's just that, as time goes by, Cankilo has grown to like this kind of process, and some things that he used to need to constantly exchange money for now seem to be close at hand... Sometimes, he even hoped that the murderer had better not be caught, so that he would have a reason to keep going like this.
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Trissy."
The haggard middle-aged woman waved her hand and slammed the door shut, leaving the two of them looking at each other outside and smiling bitterly.
Although Artoria's reputation in the town of Yuanhu is not bad, the family was originally the son of the pillar, and after going to work in the castle for more than a week two months ago, he came back with a description of withered and unwanted, but became an object of care... Although the family also got a salary that they could live on for a long time, but now that the inflation in Yuanhu Town is getting worse and worse, and those gold coins won't last long, it is natural that there will be no good eyes for the two people who are also from there at this time.
"Iā" Artoria's face was filled with guilt, "I've been trying to persuade my sister, but she's now..."
"Look at the wider, Leah." Canquillo patted her on the shoulder, "This kind of country boy is like this, he can't walk when he sees a big lady..."
Because the attention has been on Artoria these days, Canquillo has not invested too much energy in Miss Flo, and even he subconsciously thinks that Xue Qiong rarely goes out these days, and always chooses to stay in the castle, even if she goes out to buy things, she will come back soon, just to "feed the tiger with her body", and by the way, to monitor her, so that Flo does not do anything out of the ordinary... They've been working together for almost a year, and Canquillo has gotten used to the tacit division of labor.
Canquillo wasn't even worried about the overheard "the whole town is going to die" or something like that, after all, in his eyes, Flo was just a helpless rich lady, and this sentence must have been just angry talk.
And even if she hides any strength, in front of herself and Xue Qiong, she will definitely not be able to make any waves!!
At this time, in front of the sad Artoria, Canquillo was also busy continuing to change the topic, looking at the small notebook in his hand and saying, "Anyway, we have got the answer to what we want to ask." The first person to disappear was not the grocery store's little Anjie, but the drunkard Jeff, and the last place he appeared was on this street in the back alley of the tavern, with him..."
"That, actually..." The look of self-reproach on Artoria's face still did not disappear, and she was silent for a few seconds, as if she had finally made up her mind, before she said, "Actually, my sister is..."
"Huh? What is she, actually? ā
"Leah?"
"Leah?? What happened to you? Artoria?! ā
When Canquillo turned around, he saw Artoria standing there in a daze, the expression on her face completely frozen, like a wooden man, no matter how she called her name, she didn't react.
He glanced up at the sky.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun, which had been scorching the earth for nearly a day, had brought only a sense of heat to the whole world, but at some point, the dark clouds from nowhere had completely obscured the blazing sun, and also made Canquillo feel a chill from head to toe.
Without thinking too much, Canquillo grabbed Artoria's petite body and walked through the deserted alley, but after only a few steps, he sensed that something was wrong.
Cool?
Cold?!
If he hadn't been a little wary of the whole town when he first came here, if he hadn't picked up a little bit of gentlemanly demeanor after getting acquainted with Artoria, he had been as careless about every beautiful woman as he had been in New Seattle... Then he will find out about this fact in absolutely every minute.
Her body doesn't have a trace of temperature.
Moreover, at this time, Artoria was obviously lying in his arms, and the weight and touch were so real, but in Canquillo's eyes, her appearance was gradually blurring...
This strange phenomenon made Canquillo think of the successive disappearances in the past few days for the first time.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
But in the face of this emergency situation, Canquillo can only be a dead horse and a horse doctor, and can only believe in himself!!
As soon as his mind turned, the body was just to the yang, and the true qi with infinite vitality had already separated into a wisp, and the body that was directly poured into his arms by Cankilo was just thinking about pulling her back from the edge of "disappearing" first!
Cankilo's True Qi can indeed save lives, and it has played a role more than once.
But that's for ordinary people.
The "Artoria" in her arms did not cough up a mouthful of blood and slowly wake up like the others, but at the moment when the true qi was injected, at the place where Canquillo's right hand touched, it caused a violent explosion!!
Caught off guard, before the true qi that Canquillo was exporting to the outside of his body could turn into defense, the whole person was already overturned by the impact of the explosion, and his back hit the earthen wall of Aunt Trisi's house, and even the entire house was completely destroyed by his tough body like lead bullet!
Before the dust cleared, Canquillo struggled out of the rubble, and without time to see if Trays's family was dead or alive, Canquillo quickly rushed back to his original position.
Artoria's body was still lying there.
But the appearance of that body at this time was extremely strange, and it made his hair stand on end.
The homely clothes on her body have been torn apart by the force of the explosion, revealing snow-white skin, but on her chest, next to the cute twin peaks, there is a shocking black hole in the position of the heart!!
Seeing this scene, Cankilo's first thought was......this can't be what I did, right?!
However, he overturned this stupid idea in the next second. Because if that big hole was his masterpiece and so terrifying, then why didn't her skin seem to be damaged in the explosion except for that hole?
What's more, what's even weirder is that Artoria, who was once complained about by Cankilo and doesn't look like her sister at all, is actually a bit "like" at this time??
Her hair tone is a lot heavier, there is a lot of fat under the cute white rabbit, the edges and corners of her face are a little less, and even her height seems to be a few centimeters more?!
And before Canquillo could accept this inexplicable sight, this "Artoria", who had become like "Flo", the body lying on the ground, actually stood up suddenly and straight!!
