Chapter 46: The Snake Demon (4)
Mo Shuchen's classes were all over and he didn't see Hua Lian, but he could know that Hua Lian was not too far away from him by virtue of the seal, so he was about to look for him, when he looked up and saw Hua Lian flying down in a hurry.
"Hey, hey! Just in time! Hua Lian smiled.
"Where?" Mo Shuchen thought that Hua Lian had gone around outside and would come back if he was bored, but he didn't expect him to go for so long.
Hua Lian spread out the painting he painted for Mo Shuchen: "Look, I painted it for you in the afternoon, does it look like you?" ”
In the painting, Mo Shuchen has a sideways face, long hair fluttering, and clouds wrapped around his hands, looking full of fairy spirit.
Mo Shuchen was stunned for a moment and took the painting: "Well, the painting is very good." ”
"Although you have short hair now, I think you should look better with long hair, so I drew long hair." Hua Lian said proudly.
"Well, Hua Lian is amazing." Mo Shuchen put the painting away, raised his hand and touched Hua Lian's head.
Hua Lian suddenly thought deeply: "But when I was painting at that time, I always felt that this scene was familiar, maybe it was what you looked like when you were in the heavenly realm, right?" "I don't know why Hua Lian can't remember anything about Mo Shuchen.
The others slowly remembered, but Mo Shuchen, he couldn't remember anything, and sometimes he had a headache when he wanted to trace the source.
"Where did you draw it?" Mo Shuchen didn't intend to answer this question.
"I asked Xu Yu to help me find a classroom, and he also bought me a pen and paper, so I also drew a picture for him." Hua Lian has learned and knows that this is called courtesy.
"Well, it's not early, do you want to go back?" Mo Shuchen asked this because he felt that Hua Lian came out during the day for the first time, and he might not have had enough fun.
Hua Lian yawned: "Go back, I got up too early today, and I'm starting to get sleepy now." ”
On the way back, Hua Lian couldn't hold on, hanging on Mo Shuchen's body, and the way he walked became a little strange, but fortunately, no one paid attention.
When they got home, Xiao Hei Xiaobai immediately approached Hua Lian and asked, "Lord Hua Lian, how about going to school with Mr. Mo today?" ”
Hua Lian yawned and sat on the sofa, turning on the TV with his hand: "It's nothing special." Oh, but I saw a white snake at school. ”
"The basilisk?" Little black and little white said in unison.
"Well, it's good-looking, and it can play a musical instrument, and that black shell, it's about this tall, white ...... Kindness...... What's that called? Hua Lian didn't know, and it was not good for him to describe him.
"Piano." Mo Shuchen was about to go into the bathroom to take a bath, and when he heard their conversation, he answered by the way.
"Ah, that instrument is called the piano, and there was no such thing two thousand years ago."
"Is it okay for the snake demon to be in school?" Xiaobai asked.
"It doesn't matter." Hua Lian was lying on the sofa, indifferent.
As he spoke, he glanced at the bathroom door that had been closed, and since Mo Shuchen hadn't said anything, it proved that the snake demon's behavior was tacitly approved.
But it's really nothing, that snake demon sucks essence a little, mortals basically won't notice it, and there will be no damage, so that's why you let him go, right?
After looking at each other, Xiao Hei and Bai didn't speak, and went about their own business.
Hua Lian was even more sleepy when he was lying on the sofa, his eyes were closed one by one, and the voice on the TV in his ears was constantly hypnotizing, so that he couldn't control his eyelids at all.
Mo Shuchen came out of the bathroom, Hua Lian was already asleep on the sofa, he looked at Hua Lian quietly on the edge of the sofa for a while, and then picked him up from the sofa and walked into the house.
Hua Lian slept well this night, probably because of the increased activity during the day.
After falling asleep, Hua Lian gradually woke up, he hugged Mo Shuchen's arm, his head rested on his arm, the sky outside was already bright, but Mo Shuchen's alarm clock had not yet sounded.
Hua Lian guessed that it was about six o'clock now.
He yawned, put his face on Mo Shuchen's arm and rubbed it, Mo Shuchen noticed Hua Lian's movement, turned over, hugged Hua Lian tightly in his arms and whispered: "...... so early"
Hua Lian couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't expect Mo Shuchen to be too early, so he nestled into his arms: "Then I'm going to sleep in the cage." ”
Mo Shuchen chuckled, closed his eyes and lowered his head to kiss his forehead.
Hua Lian fell asleep for a while with his eyes on his eyes, and soon, Mo Shuchen's alarm clock rang, Mo Shuchen opened his eyes and got up, but Hua Lian began to be confused on the bed.
This short return to sleep made Hua Lian fall asleep, originally not sleepy, I don't know why, but now I feel very sleepy.
Xiao Hei Xiaobai usually doesn't enter the room except when cleaning, but early in the morning, they looked at Hua Lian outside the door.
"Is Lord Hua Lian going to school with Mr. Mo today?" Xiao Hei asked.
Hua Lian thought for a while and nodded: "Hmm." ”
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai all showed a look of surprise, this was the second day Hua Lian got up so early.
After Mo Shuchen finished washing, he changed his clothes and looked at Hua Lian, who was still on the bed, and said softly: "If you are sleepy, you can stay at home and sleep." "Anyway, there are only classes in the morning today.
Hua Lian shook his head: "No, I want to go with you." After speaking, he got up with sleepiness.
When they went out, Xiao Hei Xiaobai looked at Hua Lian who had just left the door and hung on Mo Shuchen's body, without worrying.
In the elevator, Mo Shuchen tilted his head sideways, looked at Hua Lian's closed eyes and couldn't help sighing: "I'll be back soon." "Mo Shuchen means that he is in a hurry to go back now.
Hua Lian shook his head insistently: "Don't." ”
Mo Shuchen didn't say anything, just let Hua Lian hang like this.
It wasn't until he was almost at school that Hua Lian smelled a hint of death in the air that he came to his senses, got off Mo Shuchen's body, and looked at the place where the smell came from.
"Mo Shuchen, there's a dead smell over there." It's weird, though, it's dead but not blood.
In which direction Mo Shuchen and Hua Lian went, there were many people around the flower garden next to the school playground, basically all students from this school, and the police sealed the flower garden so that people could not get close.
They stepped forward to take a look and woke Hua Lian up, he hadn't seen this kind of scene for a long time, and it was normal for him to be startled.
Lying in the flower garden should be a girl, she has basically become a dry corpse, but unlike the dried corpse, her skin still remains elastic, her eyes are intact, and her expression is still peaceful.
Hua Lian gasped: "This essence is too thoroughly absorbed!" ”
"It's the Snake Clan." Mo Shuchen frowned and said.
"It's really strange, although the snake clan cultivates by sucking essence, the snake clan rarely sucks people so thoroughly." He has also seen the snake clan suck essence, but they will give that person a breath, as for whether he can live in the future, it is a later story.
Hua Lian didn't want to see more, so he came out of the crowd, but saw Twilight Xuechen under a tree not far away.
Twilight Xuechen also saw Hua Lian, and they looked at each other for a while, and Hua Lian turned her gaze away.
This made Twilight Xuechen a little surprised, and he slowly walked to Hua Lian's side: "Doesn't Lord Hua Lian doubt me?" ”
Hua Lian didn't think about it: "I don't doubt it." ”
"Why?"
At this time, Mo Shuchen also walked out of the crowd, and saw that Du Xuechen did not show an extra expression.
Hua Lian smiled: "You are still too young. Do you know why the fox and snake like to keep their breath when they suck the essence of mortals? ”
Twilight Xue Chen really didn't know this, and shook her head blankly.
"The breath of mortals is only when they are alive, and when they are cut off, they become dead gas, but the essence is different, there is still a surplus after death, if you suck it so thoroughly, you will suck the dead qi together, and there will be a smell of dead people, and it will not be dispersed for a long time." Hua Lian frowned in disgust.
"I see." When Du Xuechen remembered that when he came to the mortal world, the elders of the family asked him to leave a tone for mortals, saying that it was a rule, and he thought it was sympathy for mortals, but he didn't expect that it was actually for himself.
Hua Lian glanced at the crowd and spread his hands: "But there is also this kind of thing that is not disliked." ”
Mo Shuchen looked at him and said, "Who else is there in your snake clan in the mortal world?" ”
Du Xuechen was silent for a moment: "There should be many more, but they usually live in the mortal world as mortals, and they don't make special contacts, so I don't know very well." ”
Hua Lian looked at Twilight Xuechen with half-squinted eyes: "You really don't know? ”
Twilight looked away, "I don't know. ”
The body in the school was quickly sent to the funeral home to be claimed by the family, and the police also intervened in the investigation, but this kind of thing basically became an unsolved case, because the murderer was not a mortal at all.
After the crime scene was cleaned up, they looked at the scene and did not see any clues.
The only thing that can be known now is that it must have been done by the Snake Clan. I don't know anything else.
The snake clan is good at concealment, and the smell is not as heavy as that of foxes, so if you really want to hide, it is really difficult to find.
Besides, there are many snake demons in the mortal world, who knows which one killed them.
Originally, in the morning class, Mo Shuchen asked for leave and did not go. In order to get an early clue, they wandered around the huge university campus.
But there are a lot of students here, and even if there are clues, they may be inadvertently lost, which is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
Hua Lian searched for a few laps and lost his patience when he didn't find anything, and hung on Mo Shuchen's body and thought: "How to find nothing...... I don't know what the snake demon did, I didn't dare to do this when I was in the demon world in the past, and I threw it everywhere after eating. ”
Mo Shuchen raised his hand and patted Hua Lian's head: "Where is the girl, do you smell blood?" ”
"Nope." Hua Lian shook his head.
"So, it's supposed to be a demon who has fallen into the devil." Mo Shuchen guessed.
Hua Lian thought for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, there is still a soul, you can find a soul to ask." ”
Mo Shuchen shook his head: "The soul should have been eaten." ”
"Eaten? How do you know? "Souls are afraid of sunlight when they leave their bodies, and they find them during the day, so it's normal not to see them.
