Chapter Twenty-Six: I Can't Help It
Ling Yan didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart: "Hmph! In this world, there are not many who can be my opponents! "It seems that Ling Yan also has times of arrogance.
At this time, Qi Yu stood up and said to the three of them: "I have finished eating, I am leaving, you can eat slowly!" With that, he walked out of the restaurant.
Xiao Bai raised his head and looked at Qi Yu who had left, and then said to Shangguan Ting and Ling Yan, "Let's go too!" With that, he also stood up and walked out.
Ling Yan looked at the two who had left, turned to Shangguan Ting, who was silent, and called softly: "Aunt Ting!" β
Shangguan Ting pursed her lips, as if she was about to say something, and in the end, she just sighed softly, "Little goose, continue to eat!" β
"Aunt Ting, I'm already full." Ling Yan no longer has an appetite.
"Alas!" Shangguan Ting sighed again, "Let's go!" β
"Hmm!"
Ling Yan felt that since his father and Xiaobai met, Xiaobai's attitude towards Shangguan Ting had changed a lot. However, what did my father say to Uncle Xiaobai? This question has been bothering Ling Yan for a long time after that. Of course, for the change in Xiaobai's attitude, how could Shangguan Ting, as a party concerned, not notice it! Although Shangguan Ting has a lot of power and power, there are many things she can't do; This is the case, for example.
Lunch broke up for no clear reason and no clear reason
During the time when he followed Xiaobai and Shangguan Ting, Ling Yan was unsettled. Usually, Ling Yan and Qi Yu lived in the same apartment building, and all the people living in that building were members of their own force. However, Xiaobai lives somewhere else. Shangguan Ting didn't live with them, and in a hidden corner where Shangguan Ting lived alone, her address was only known to Xiaobai.
It was already late at night, and Shangguan Ting stayed alone in her room drinking spirits. Drinking while playing with a jet-black shiny pistol! It was a beautiful pistol, like a work of art, not a weapon designed to harvest life! In fact, this pistol has already harvested many lives in Shangguan Ting's hands - whether it is a human or an animal.
At this moment, Shangguan Ting's heart is very complicated. She kept asking herself why she was here. She didn't have any reason or reason to be here, and she had been running away from it for a while on the Asian continent. What the hell is she running away from! She herself is not very clear! That sounds ridiculous!
At the beginning, when she met Xiaobai for the first time, Shangguan Ting's heart sprouted a special feeling, which was a very wonderful feeling and a very serious feeling. Is it true that she and Xiaobai have changed from hostile to friends just because they see each other? Perhaps, it's not that simple. Without Xiaobai, Shangguan Ting can still avenge her family, and she can easily wipe out the dark forces entrenched in Taiwan Province. But why is the situation the way it is?
Shangguan Ting was already the dark ruler of that area, and she should have stayed there to manage her share of power, or run to some beach to enjoy life. But here she is! Because, when Xiaobai left, Shangguan Ting found that the wonderful feeling in her heart disappeared completely, and was replaced by a sense of loss, an endless feeling of loss. So, Shangguan Ting came here
Xiao Bai was just Ling Yan's adoptive father, a killer under the ruler of the Dark World. The ruler had many killers under him, although Xiaobai's abilities were second to none. But, no matter what, Xiaobai is just a killer.
Is there really that sacred, serious affection between the killer and the leader?
During this period of time here, Shangguan Ting and Xiaobai got along like good friends, and Xiaobai really regarded Shangguan Ting as a friend; In front of Shangguan Ting, Xiao Bai will put aside his ruthless appearance and reveal his truest side, for example, Xiao Bai will often say a few humorous words or make jokes. To an outsider, it's hard to imagine!
She spends most of her time with him cleaning up what is happening in her sphere of influence, and sometimes she goes to a small bar for a drink; Occasionally, the ruler would ask her to do something tricky. In short, everything is so ordinary, with endless happiness in the ordinary!
Many things cannot be viewed and measured from the perspective of an objective person, but you need to stand from a certain angle to see things more thoroughly! However, because there are many factors that influence the development of things, it is impossible for this kind of sacred and serious affection to continue to develop
At the same time, Xiaobai was also staying in his room, and he was also playing with a weapon. Unlike Shangguan Ting, he was holding a knife in his hand. This is a double-edged knife, the body knife and the handle are one, under the streamlined knife body, the whole body exudes a faint blue cold light, and there is no flaw in the original! Like Shangguan Ting's pistol, this knife is also like a work of art. In fact, Xiaobai has never used this knife to harvest any life. This knife has been by Xiaobai's side for a long time, and when Xiaobai plans to kill someone, he will take it out and stroke it; That's why this knife emits a cold light!
Late at night, a breeze blew. Something strange echoed through the walls.
The heart is empty.
Under the dim light, the blade became more and more blue, as if it came to life, and the streamlined lines also stretched out!
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the house!
"Xiaobai, hello!"
It turned out to be another killer, Xiaobai's other killer partner.
The killer stood indifferently, wearing a black suit, on top of a black scarf, a pair of black eyes were extremely sharp, and the whole person was also integrated with the darkness.
How can the appearance of that killer escape Xiaobai's ears and eyes! When he was still some distance away from Xiao Bai's room, Xiao Bai had already noticed him.
Xiao Bai was expressionless, and said coldly to his partner: "What are you doing here!" β
The killer moved slightly, "The boss has a new task to order." He also said in a cold tone: "The boss hopes that the woman named Shangguan Ting can stop her life activities before dawn tomorrow; It's up to you to complete this task, and I'll help you. β
"Help?" Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes and said lightly, "I don't need other people's assistance. β
"You don't have a choice."
"Hmm~" Xiaobai's face was slightly cold.
The killer strengthened his tone and said, "That's what the boss meant." Today, you have to carry it out no matter what, otherwise, I will take coercive measures as a betrayal. β
After hearing what the other party said, Xiaobai immediately replied: "No problem! I promise she will never see the sunrise tomorrow. β
The arrival of this day was already expected by Xiaobai when he met Shangguan Ting for the first time! For so long, Xiaobai has been preparing for this day all the time. Xiaobai is extremely loyal to the ruler of the dark world, no matter where Shangguan Ting is, he can't escape the fate of being killed. The reason is simple: there are no permanent allies, only permanent interests!
Hearing Xiaobai's answer so refreshingly, the killer didn't have any extra words, he just stood there and didn't move; Next, it's up to Xiaobai to do it.
Xiao Bai sat on the chair expressionlessly, still playing with the knife that had never killed anyone, and the killer had no way to see any expression fluctuations on Xiao Bai's face. What was going on in his mind? It seems that the next thing he wants to kill is not his good friend Shangguan Ting, who has been with him for a long time, but an irrelevant person. In other words, he has never regarded Shangguan Ting as a friend, he has always been pretending
After a long time, Xiaobai put away the knife, he stood up and walked out, and the killer followed him.
It's early in the morning, and it's hard to see pedestrians or vehicles on the streets. Xiaobai and the killer walked the street in unison. The sound of footsteps of 'click', 'click', 'click' echoed in the night sky like a death bell!
In an inconspicuous building in a corner of the city, Xiaobai knocked on a door
Lying on the bed, Shangguan Ting couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. She could feel that she was about to be in danger; When danger is approaching, many people can sense it beforehand.
When Xiaobai walked into this corridor, Shangguan Ting could already feel that it was him, and at the same time, she also felt that something was wrong; But she didn't notice what was wrong. When there was a knock on the door, Shangguan Ting came over and was about to open the door, but she still asked vigilantly: "Who is it!" β
"It's me, Xiaobai."
Hearing that it was Xiaobai's voice, Shangguan Ting calmed down slightly, and then opened the door. "Xiaobai, what are you looking for me at such a late hour?" Visiting late at night, in Shangguan Ting's memory, this was Xiaobai's first time. Under normal circumstances, Xiaobai would not take the initiative to find Shangguan Ting if there was no matter. "Is something wrong?" Shangguan Ting asked again.
"Nope."
Shangguan Ting asked: "In that case, why did you come to visit late at night?" β
"There's just something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"That's it," Xiaobai's expression was still indifferent. He groaned, groaned.
Shangguan Ting became vigilant and asked, "What is it that makes you so unspeakable?" β
Suddenly, without warning, Xiao Bai made a move, and he slapped Shangguan Ting's chest. Shangguan Ting was defenseless, she didn't expect her opponent to attack suddenly; There was a heavy slap in the chest, and he was hit backwards when he landed. "What are you doing here?"
Xiaobai's expression was indifferent, and he walked in with his feet raised, showing a knife. With the appearance of the knife, the murderous aura spread all over his body.
The fierce murderous aura and sharp knife are enough to answer any question in his place.
"What the hell are you doing here?" There was blood flowing from the corners of Shangguan Ting's mouth, and she looked at Xiaobai with disbelief on her face. She never dreamed that Xiaobai would come to kill her this time.
Xiao Bai stood indifferently and replied in a cold tone: "This is the purpose of my visit this time!" β
"You're really going to kill me???"
"Yes."
At this time, the killer also walked in and said coldly: "Why, you didn't think of it!" β
Shangguan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Xiao Bai, and said sadly: "The arrival of this day has been expected by me, but I didn't expect that the person who came to kill me would be you!" β
"If you know today, why don't you take a countermeasure?"
"For example?"
Shangguan Ting's rhetorical question made Xiaobai speechless.
What could she do? Do you want to start a war with all your strength?
Shangguan Ting sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "I will do my best to avoid conflict, and I will serve you wholeheartedly, hoping that our alliance can be maintained. It seems that your leader will eventually swallow me up."
Xiaobai stood indifferently and stopped answering.
The killer smiled disdainfully and said, "Are you scared?" β
Shangguan Ting tried her best to calm down the surging qi and blood in her chest, and looked at Xiaobai gloomily, "If you don't attack suddenly, even if the two of you are combined, how can you endure me!" β
The indifferent Xiaobai showed a hint of fluctuation, "It doesn't matter now!" You're wounded, and you're no match for me anymore. "With that, he raised his hand and wanted to attack.
Shangguan Ting subconsciously took a step back, stretched out her hand to stop, and said, "You wait a minute." β
Xiaobai paused.
Shangguan Ting wiped the blood that flowed from the corners of her mouth again, she looked at Xiaobai with unwilling eyes, and said, "Finally, can you answer me a question!" β
"Are you counting these last words?"
"Sort of!" Shangguan Ting sighed faintly.
"Just ask."
"Have you ever had feelings for me?" Asking this question, Shangguan Ting was full of expectations. She hoped that the sacred, serious feelings that loomed between them were real.
Hearing Shangguan Ting's question, Xiaobai still had an indifferent expression, "No." β
Hearing this, Shangguan Ting suddenly felt heartache. looked at the man in front of him who had been with him for many years, and looked at the man he had always liked; Shangguan Ting suddenly found that she had never seen through him, and she had never understood him. It turns out that the person he likes doesn't like him, and he doesn't even blink an eye at the moment he kills himself. How many things in this world are more sad than this?
Brief grief is fleeting, replaced by calmness. From this moment on, she officially became his enemy, and in her eyes, there was no resentment, only the calmness and calmness of accepting reality. He is no longer her friend, no longer her most concerned lover! Perhaps, there should really be a break between them. She should get out of here and create a world of her own.
Shangguan Ting clenched her fists and said to Xiaobai in a tone that she couldn't hear what mood it was: "In that case, let's continue the previous battle!" As soon as the words fell, he suddenly stretched out his palms and attacked Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai's pupils shrank, then he withdrew the knife and raised his palms to meet the past.
"Uhh
The palms of flesh intersected, making a deafening sound.
Under the contact, the palms of the four hands were glued together. The two sides engaged in a hard-fought battle of strength.
Under the fight, Xiao Bai's arms suddenly sent forward, and immediately, Shangguan Ting, who was injured and unable to support herself, was hit by this powerful force and flew backwards. "Uh-" she screamed as she slammed into the wall behind her, blood gushing out of her mouth.
Xiaobai closed his palms, walked towards Shangguan Ting, and said to her coldly: "Today, I will break your tendons and make you a wasted person, and make your life worse than death!" β
At this time, the killer shouted coldly: "No! The boss tells you to put an end to this man. As he spoke, the killer's right hand reached for his waist. If Xiao Bai showed any hint of protection for Shangguan Ting, he would not hesitate to make a move at Xiao Bai.
Hearing the killer say this, Xiaobai knew that Shangguan Ting had to die today. Then, he pulled out his knife again, and the blade of the knife emitted a cold light of death in the light
'Huh-' As soon as Xiao Bai's right hand was sent, the knife turned into a cold light, and flew towards Shangguan Ting with a sharp sound of breaking the air.
Shangguan Ting quickly rolled and dodged the knife. The blade of the knife flew past her cheek, and at the same time, strands of hair slid down Shangguan Ting's sideburns along the trajectory of the knife. While turning over and standing up, Shangguan Ting took out her pistol, and then fired two shots in succession! One bullet was fired at Xiaobai, and the other bullet was fired at the killer behind Xiaobai.
When he saw Shangguan Ting turn over and dodge his knife, Xiaobai knew that he was going to be in danger. So, he quickly did a 360-degree somersault in the air and got out of the position he was standing in. However, the distance between him and Shangguan Ting was too close, and it was impossible for him to dodge the bullet; As he rolled in the air, he was still hit by a bullet in the abdomen
The killer, he didn't have time to react, and the bullet that was fired at him shot into his brow with unmistakable accuracy
His feet fell to the ground, Xiao Bai's hands shook, and two knives flew to Shangguan Ting's shoulders with a roar of cold light.
After firing two shots in a row, Shangguan Ting had no way to dodge the two knives that flew in, and the two knives shot into Shangguan Ting's shoulders, leaving only the handles still exposed.
After throwing his hand and shooting two knives, Xiaobai collapsed to the ground weakly. The shot in his abdomen was fatalβat least, if left untreated. Xiao Bai opened his heavy eyelids vigorously, leaned out hard and leaned on the leg of the table next to him. Xiaobai looked at his killer companion who had become a dead corpse, then looked at Shangguan Ting, and said miserably: "I really didn't expect you and me to end up like this!" This voice was full of self-deprecation and helplessness.
Although Shangguan Ting's injury was not fatal, it was not light, she raised her arms, but found that her two arms were not listening to her own call! He struggled to sit up from the ground, then leaned against the wall behind him. Looking down at the two knives stuck in his shoulders, he asked blankly, "Why didn't you kill me?" You could have shot a knife into my head. β
Xiaobai breathed quickly and said indifferently: "Keep your rotten life, so that you can't survive, you can't die!" β
"Alas!" With a sad sigh, Shangguan Ting looked at the dying Xiaobai and sneered: "You are really a pathetic guy, you are hiding under a disguise until the moment you die!" β
Xiaobai tilted his neck and sneered: "You are also a pathetic guy, you spend most of your time on things that don't make any sense." β
Sighing helplessly, Shangguan Ting said: "I am different from you, at least, I have loved, I have felt with my heart, and I have felt all this from the standpoint of everyone." None of this you have. β
Xiaobai fell silent!
Little by little, indifference was disappearing from his face, replaced by infinite tenderness and warmth.
"Loved, hated, troubled, happy, felt, experienced! Have you ever had all of this? Xiaobai racked his brains in his heart and thought! Eventually, he found the answer β he had. Although he is a killer, he is also a human being, and he is a person with seven emotions and six desires.
Scarlet blood flowed down the muzzle of the gun, and the clean clothes were soaked in as glamorous as a Turkish carpet.
At this moment, Xiaobai felt very tired; Sleepiness welled up, and he couldn't help but want to sleep for a while, he told himself that he couldn't sleep, and once he did, he might not be able to wake up. He still had a lot of things to say, and he didn't say them in front of Shangguan Ting
Looking at Shangguan Ting, who was not far from him, Xiao Bai shook his head effortlessly to shake off some sleepiness, and then said softly to Shangguan Ting: "I have always loved a woman deeply, and whenever I am with her, I will have a warm feeling; It's a feeling I haven't felt since I joined the organization! Admittedly, I was intoxicated by this feeling at one point. However, I could not show my love, let alone express it in words. Because, I am a killer, a killer who shouldn't have feelings, a killer who only kills. My profession is to harvest other people's lives! Maybe one day, my life will be harvested by other killers. Having said this, Xiaobai was already tired and a little out of breath. After being silent for a while, Xiaobai continued: "So, I can only live under disguise. β
After listening to Xiaobai's words, Shangguan Ting seemed to have understood. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar man in front of her, Shangguan Ting was overjoyed and angry, and she didn't know what to say!
Xiao Bai looked at Shangguan Ting dimly, and said weakly: "Before I die, I must say three words to you, whether you want to hear it or not!" Speaking of this, Xiaobai coughed violently a few times!
At this time, Shangguan Ting's tears had already flowed down her beautiful cheeks unobediently. After the anger and disappointment, the infinite and sincere hope filled the heart.
"I love you" After saying these three words, Xiaobai closed his eyes. Saying these three words, Xiaobai felt that he had finally let go of the big stone that had been pressing in his heart for a long time. He finally didn't have to be a killer, so he could say those three words. Say these three words, and he is relieved. However, it brought endless pain to another person
Shangguan Ting cried bitterly and crawled to Xiaobai's side, crying and slapping him: "You bastard, why are you only saying it now?" Why are you saying it now? β
When you are alive, you don't dare to express your feelings, and when you die, you don't have the courage to express them. However, after saying it, what can you leave for the other party? What else could there be but endless pain??? ,k
