Chapter 7: The Man Behind the Scenes
At noon the next day, Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran came to the cafeteria to finish eating, because there was no class in the afternoon, Yi Ran asked Huo Xiaolu to accompany her to go shopping. Although the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was really a little worried in his heart, but seeing Yi Zhan's begging eyes, Huo Xiaolu gritted his teeth and agreed.
So, on the wet streets after the snow melted, Yi Ran pulled Huo Xiaolu and started his own pleasant walk. Although I don't know how many times I've visited this small university town, Huo Xiaolu even feels that she already knows the price tags in each store, but every time she comes to go shopping, Yi Ran still looks elated. Maybe it's really a woman's nature to like shopping, and she doesn't feel tired after shopping all afternoon, and every time she goes to a store, she looks like an explorer has found a treasure, which makes Huo Xiaolu, who is already tired and his legs sore, really incomprehensible.
The university town is not small, but it will definitely be able to go all over in an afternoon, and just when Yangguan was already turning orange, Yi Ran and Huo Xiaolu finally walked out of the last jewelry store.
Yi Ran stretched a big lazy waist, and said a little tiredly: "I'm so tired, I've been shopping all afternoon, I'm so sleepy." ”
And Huo Xiaolu here didn't want to talk anymore, he was carrying something behind him, looking like an old man in his last years. Fortunately, Yi Ran just likes to go shopping and is not a shopaholic, he only carries two or three things in his hands now, otherwise his small body really can't survive this afternoon.
"Let's go there and get something to eat." Yi Ran pointed to a food stall not far away. She was tempted by the smell of stir-fried vegetables from the time she first came, and now she really wants to try it.
Of course, Huo Xiaolu had no objections, he wished he could find a place to rest. The two of them rushed to the scent and passed.
As soon as he walked over there, Yi Ran found an acquaintance and said in surprise: "Yin Lord? Ah, and Sister Fire! When did you get here? ”
Coincidentally, Yin Lord and Huo Liuli were also eating at this food stall, and they had just ordered food and hadn't served it yet. Seeing Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran, he was also very surprised, and hurriedly beckoned the two to sit together.
Called the waiter and ordered two more dishes, Yi Ran asked, "Sister Huo, when did you come?" He didn't tell us yesterday when I saw the Lord of the Underworld. ”
Huo Liuli smiled and said, "I arrived yesterday afternoon, and we met Brother Yin as soon as he came out of school, and I didn't tell him when I came before." How's it going, it's been more than a year, how are you? ”
"Well, it's just not interesting in school." Easily stained pouting.
"You're bored to have Xiaolu here with you?" Huo Liuli didn't give up the opportunity to tease her.
A group of people who haven't seen each other for a long time are of course indispensable. Although Huo Xiao and Lou Yiran had not had much intersection with Huo Liuli before, they felt the unusual relationship between the other party and the Yin Lord, so they quickly became acquainted. After all, the Yin Lord and them are friends of life and death, and there is naturally no harm in having a good relationship with her.
Soon the food came up, Huo Xiaolu and Yin asked for a bottle of liquor, scalded it with hot water, took a sip, and warmed up all over the body.
While eating, they heard someone at the table next to them talking about life, and the content of the conversation intrigued them.
One boy said, "Hey, did you hear that?" Yesterday, the Yan family in Z City was also wiped out! ”
Another boy said, "I haven't heard of it, is it the Yan family who does real estate?" ”
"Yes, that's it, I heard that it happened yesterday evening, and before I knew it, the family of more than 70 people had evaporated from the world!"
"Isn't that the same as that Luo family?"
"It's different." The boy who started to speak said: "I heard people say that the Luo family left a corpse when they didn't destroy the door, but this Yan family really evaporated from the world, and there was not a single corpse left." ”
"Huh? Since you don't see a corpse, how do you know that it was destroyed, maybe it was missing? ”
"That's not possible, although there are no corpses, but the scene is even more terrifying...... I heard that the entire lawn in front of the Yan family's villa has become dark red! ”
"Bloodstained?"
"What do you say?"
"Vomit ......"
Listening to their conversation, Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran sounded the alarm in their hearts. Huo Xiaolu asked the Yin Lord in a low voice: "What do you think of this matter?" ”
"It's a shame." The Yin Lord took a sip of white wine and said to him.
"So how do we stop it?"
"No need to stop it."
Yi Ran was puzzled when he heard this answer: "Why don't you stop it, won't it kill more people if it goes on like this?" ”
"It won't kill anymore." Huo Liuli also took a sip of white wine to warm up his whole body, and then explained to Yi Ran: "Because it's not necessary." ”
"What that means, I don't understand."
At this time, the Yin Lord said, "Yesterday, Senior Sister Fire and I met that demon. ”
"You've met? So what happened? "Easy to dye is curious.
"It's nothing, we played a game with it, and we won by a small margin." Yin Lord Feng drank hot wine lightly.
Huo Liuli continued: "This demon was refining a demon puppet clone before, so it needs to devour a hundred human souls. Now, after destroying the two big families, it needs enough human souls, and it can't digest any more. ”
Although the Yin Lord did not elaborate on what the so-called game was, Huo Xiaolu and the Yin Lord could still feel that the scene at that time was definitely not as relaxed as he said now. Huo Xiaolu then asked, "What is a puppet clone?" ”
Huo Liuli explained: "The so-called evil puppet is that the evil eats people's souls by devouring their soul power, but retains the body of the soul body, injects its own evil energy, and makes it into a body puppet. ”
"You saw the golem yesterday?" Yi Ran guessed it right at once.
"That's right."
Huo Xiaolu felt a headache: "Then what do you think of that, what are you going to do next?" ”
The Yin Lord shook his head and said he didn't know.
But then he said, "But the most important thing now is not to think about what it is going to do next, but to find out what the people behind it are going to do." ”
Huo Xiaolu raised his head to look at him in surprise and asked, "You mean, this evil is controlled by someone?" ”
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think that a small evil energy can make waves unscrupulously under the noses of me and Senior Sister Huo?"
Yi Ran interjected: "Then who do you think is the person behind it, and is there any object of suspicion?" ”
Huo Liuli said: "What we suspect now is a sigh. ”
"Sighing flowers?" Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran were surprised. After all, it has been a year since I heard the news of this sigh, and now I am naturally very puzzled when I mention it.
"When the demon appeared to talk to us, I smelled some flowers." Huo Liuli said.
Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran both frowned, since this is the case, then the matter is estimated to be eight or nine, but Huo Xiaolu still couldn't help but ask: "The sighing flower is just a flower after all, will it have such great ability?" ”
The Yin Lord sighed: "Who knows, but now that's the way it is, it's become our worst enemy." ”
Everyone was a little silent, but Huo Liuli said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about these things later, let's have a good meal now." ”
Everyone picked up the chopsticks again, and a few young people with ordinary people who couldn't understand their hearts drank happily in the cold wind, just like a few ordinary children.
After eating, it was already dark, Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran were going back, the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli decided to go shopping again, and the two groups said goodbye.
At this time, it is the time when the lights are on in Z City, and the street lamps and buildings on the street are all lit up, and people who have worked all day have become energetic at this moment and have begun to carry out their different nightlife.
The Yin Lord and Fire Liuli walked aimlessly on the side of the road in the city. There are all kinds of bustle and lights around them, and the two of them are like people who are not from this world, and they are incompatible with the environment around them. Huo Liuli didn't plan to go shopping, so the Yin Lord walked slowly with her step by step.
As he walked, Huo Liuli remembered something and asked the Yin Master: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, you haven't taken over your Yin family yet, why did your father hand over the 'Soul Drinking' to you?" ”
"Because I'm more competitive." The Yin Lord shrugged his shoulders and made a joke.
Huo Liuli slapped him in disgust and asked him to tell the truth.
"Actually, my dad gave me a task." The Yin Lord explained solemnly: "I came this time for this evil matter, and when the matter here is resolved, I will go to the northeast, which is more dangerous, so I was given a soul drink to defend myself." ”
Huo Liuli frowned: "What are you going to do there, it's so far away." ”
The Yin Lord whispered mysteriously in her ear, "Tomb robbery! ”
"Huh?!"
Huo Liuli looked at him in surprise: "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!" The Yin Lord's expression was serious.
Huo Liuli suddenly twisted the Yin Lord's ears and pulled hard, making him scream in pain. Then he glared and said, "Are you bluffing me?" Are you going to rob the grave? If you stand at the door of the tomb and howl, the owner of the tomb has to get up and greet you in person, and you still need to steal? Still dangerous? Let's be honest, hurry! ”
"Tap, tap, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......" The yin lord grinned because she twisted her ears, and finally begged her to let go of her hand. After that, he rubbed his reddened ears and said, "I really didn't lie to you, I really went to a tomb, but this tomb is a little special." ”
"What's so special, it's not a dead man's house yet?" Huo Liuli gave him a blank look.
At this time, the Yin Lord looked at her proudly and said, "Qing Wang Ji Ruins! ”
Huo Liuli grabbed his arm and grabbed him painfully: "The Qing Dynasty King Machine Ruins is the treasure house of the legendary Qing Dynasty prince?!" ”
"Of course." The Yin Lord smiled proudly.
Huo Liuli let go of his hands and said with an unusually firm expression: "Take me with you." ”
"No way!" The Yin Lord flatly refused: "It's dangerous in there, you can't go." ”
"I must go!"
"Give me a reason first."
"I'm afraid you'll die inside."
The Yin Lord pointed her forehead and said viciously, "Don't you want me to be better?" ”
Huo Liuli rubbed her red forehead and said aggrievedly: "But people are really worried about you." ”
"Ann, it's okay, I'm so good, it's okay."
"But ......"
"It's nothing, I'm going to go home and propose marriage when I'm done dealing with this mess, I'll be careful."
Huo Liuli didn't say anything more, just grabbed his arm.
The cold wind blows, and the flowers fly in the winter night.
