Chapter 23: The Rupture
In front of the bleak haunted house, a middle-aged man stood.
It should have been black hair, but at some point it was mixed with a bit of silver gray that shouldn't have it, and the originally ruddy face had become dry and thin yellow, wrinkled together, and the eyebrows had never separated, obviously I hadn't seen it for a few months, but it seemed to be decades apart.
Seeing Chen Ling and Chen Yin, the man raised a smile and straightened his back slightly, "Xiao Ling, Xiao Yin." ”
"Uncle Zhang."
"Alas!" Lao Zhang looked at Chen Yin happily, and raised his hand as if he wanted to touch Chen Yin's head, but stopped in mid-air.
The happy smile became embarrassed, and Lao Zhang withdrew his hand, "That, because of some circumstances recently, I haven't had time to give you a ......"
"As long as Uncle Zhang can live well." Chen Yin unexpectedly interrupted Lao Zhang's words, and there was a little light in his ink eyes, "My brother and I can be independent now, Uncle Zhang, you just need to take care of yourself." ”
"Xiaoyin has grown up and is more sensible than before." Uncle Zhang smiled with relief, but Chen Ling obviously saw that Lao Zhang's smile was very reluctant, and after just a little thought, he understood the reason.
"Uncle Zhang, everything will be fine."
Lao Zhang looked at Chen Ling and nodded.
Xia Han saw that there was no longer any need to control Chu Heng, so he took advantage of the fact that they were not paying attention to it and untied his control over Chu Heng.
"Uh......" Chu Heng's body shook slightly, Xia Han approached Chu Heng, I don't know what to say in Chu Heng's ear, and the next second, Chu Heng's chaotic eyes became clear.
He looked at the few people standing at the door suspiciously, and asked, "Strange, when did you arrive at the door?" Why haven't you gone in yet? ”
Ye Yiqiao pouted and stood aside with a smile on her face, Xia Han, who looked like a good girl, was a little disgusted, but because of the other party's identity and strength, she had to endure it.
But she is obviously not a person who can endure her temper, so this anger was directly vented on Chu Heng's body, "I thought you were dumb when you stood here for a long time without speaking, so you can still make a sound." ”
"Hey! What do I mean by you, you don't feel well if you don't scold me for a day, don't you? Chu Heng glanced at Ye Yiqiao. Away from Ye Yiqiao and walking to Xia Han's side, Chu Heng put his hand on Xia Han's shoulder and said in disgust, "You are obviously both girls, why are you so different?" Look at Xiaohan, how gentle and obedient you are, look at you again, just like a man's wife, can't you learn from Xiaohan. ”
"Huh." Ye Yiqiao was laughed at angrily, she didn't bother to pay attention to Chu Heng, turned around and walked straight into the haunted house.
"Little Joe!" Chen Ling called behind Ye Yiqiao.
After saying sorry to Lao Zhang, Chen Ling and Chen Yin immediately followed Ye Yiqiao.
"Let's go too, in case they get lost in a while, it will be bad." Xia Han, who had never spoken, spoke, and at the same time, she avoided Chu Heng without a trace and walked towards the haunted house.
"This haunted house isn't that big, so it won't get lost!" Chu Heng didn't care about this, but he still followed Xia Han and walked beside her.
The haunted house without actors pretending to be ghosts seemed a lot quieter and emptyer, the lights on the aisle flickered on and off, and the props on both sides were scattered on both sides, as if this place was about to be abandoned, except for the breathing and walking sounds of Xia Han and Chu Heng, no other sound could be heard.
"It's strange, it's so big here, where did those three people go?" After walking for a long time without hearing any other sounds, Chu Heng said suspiciously, "Xiaohan, you said they wouldn't be on the second floor, right?" But the second floor is a place to put miscellaneous items. ”
"......" Xia Han didn't answer Chu Heng's words, she looked around, and her footsteps gradually slowed down.
"Xiaohan, what's wrong with you?" After walking for a while, Chu Heng, who finally found out that something was wrong, looked at Xia Han suspiciously.
Xia Han looked around, a faint orange light appeared on his body, because in order to create a terrifying atmosphere, the lights in the haunted house were yellow, Chu Heng didn't know the existence of the rune master, so naturally he didn't notice the strangeness on Xia Han's body.
"It's fine." Xia Han looked at Chu Heng lightly, "Let's go first, otherwise we will fall behind even more with Chen Ling." ”
"Huh? Oh. Chu Heng followed suspiciously, and not long after leaving, several figures appeared in front of them and walked towards them.
"Zero, tone! How did you get back? Don't you know the exit of the haunted house? Chu Heng ran in front of Chen Ling and them in a few steps and asked.
"This ......" Chen Ling seemed to be a little embarrassed, he glanced at Ye Yiqiao, who sighed helplessly, and took a step forward resignedly.
“?” Chu Heng looked at Ye Yiqiao suspiciously.
"Keep your head down."
"What are you going to do?" Chu Heng frowned, he couldn't trust Ye Yiqiao, a person who wanted to make him unlucky at any time.
"I don't mind if you want me to use violence." Ye Yiqiao smiled.
Looking at Ye Yiqiao's unfathomable smile, Chu Heng shuddered, and after hesitating for a while, he slowly lowered his head.
A wicked smile flashed in Ye Yiqiao's eyes, and then, I saw her take out a yellow rune paper from her pocket and quickly sweep it in front of Chu Heng, and then, a puff of green smoke drilled into Chu Heng's nose, and in the next second, Chu Heng felt a dizziness in his brain, he took a few steps back, sat on the ground with his back against the wall, and fainted.
"Little Joe." Chen Ling looked at Xia Han vaguely and signaled that there was another person here.
Looking at Xia Han, the corners of Ye Yiqiao's mouth twitched, and he looked at Chen Ling, who didn't know anything, rather speechlessly, "She doesn't need it." "I'm still young and don't want to die so early.
"Why?" Chen Ling was a little surprised.
"Because she's also a runemaster." Chen Yin's voice rang out.
She took a step forward and looked at Xia Han, her calm gaze hidden emotions that others couldn't see, "Why don't you say it?" ”
Xia Han also calmly let Chen Yin watch, and Xia Han just smiled at her question.
"Why?" Seeing that Xia Han didn't speak, Chen Yin asked again without giving up.
"Because she is the heir of the Xia family, she has never really regarded you as her friend." Ye Yiqiao, who couldn't stand it, stepped forward, looked at Xia Han coldly, and said, "The daughter of the Xia family, cold, ruthless, hypocritical, and unscrupulous to achieve her goals, in her eyes, only those who can bring her benefits can be called friends, you are just a pawn for her to complete the task." ”
Until Ye Yiqiao finished speaking, Chen Yin's expression never changed, as if what Ye Yiqiao said had nothing to do with her, but Ye Yiqiao and Chen Ling saw that Chen Yin's eyes already had tears in their eyes.
"That's right, I did approach you for a purpose, I originally planned to find a way to bring you back to the Xia family after confirming the identities of you and Chen Ling, but I didn't expect to be ruined by the little Ye family, it's really ......" Xia Han, who no longer needs to pretend, is like a cold queen at the moment, exuding the momentum of a superior person all over her body, as if this is her territory, "But now you should be more concerned about the things here?" I see you care a lot about the guy out there, and if you don't get rid of the things here, he might be in danger of his life! ”
"Besides, I'm not wasting time here with you bunch of waste, so I'll go first!" Xia Han waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute......"
The lights on the walkway began to flicker, and half of the place was plunged into darkness. Xia Han's figure disappeared into the darkness.
Call......
