Chapter 198: The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
However, although I know the name of the real culprit behind the scenes, I haven't had time to investigate in a hurry whether that person is the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"Oh, now that you know the name of the real murderer behind the scenes, then you can follow the vine to find out, Qiao Yu, can you tell me, does An Lan's accidental death have anything to do with Jia Qing?"
I couldn't hold back the doubts and depression in my heart, so I simply asked Qiao Yu for an explanation.
"Ling Yun, as of now, there is no indication that An Lan's death has a lot to do with Jia Qing, I think maybe everything is just a coincidence.
After all, Jia Qing is my friend, your husband, he shouldn't do such a hurtful thing, but if you have any suspicions, I will take the time to investigate it as soon as possible. Qiao Yu comforted me and said.
"By the way, Ling Yun, you try not to go out alone recently, if there is something, please contact me and let me accompany you there, so that you can have someone around you to take care of you."
"What can I do to take care of me?" I asked, a little confused.
Was the accident primarily aimed at me? Could it be that An Lan's death was only tragically killed because he saved me? Maybe Qiao Yu reminded right, there is no big mistake in being careful, thinking of this, I nodded convincingly and agreed to his request.
After all, Qiao Yu has outstanding abilities and has many super abilities, which can save people's lives in times of crisis.
If Qiao Yu had followed him that night, An Lan would never have left me no matter what.
But now it's too late to regret it, I have lost An Lan, and I am alone, but in order to find out the truth about An Lan's death, I must find a way to save my life.
"Lingyun, I have a premonition, just like the premonition that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, I feel that the dark power hidden in this city is about to move again, I am only worried that the absconding demon will come back this time and bring greater disaster to the city.
At the moment, I haven't figured out how to unleash your latent abilities, so you're still a mortal, and I'll have to be careful to protect you from any accidental damage. ”
Qiao Yu's words revealed the reason for his hidden worries, it seems that An Lan's unfortunate death is just a prologue, maybe a more terrible conspiracy is still to come, otherwise, why should Qiao Yu rush to find a way to restore my spiritual power.
It's just that I'm even more confused than him, I'm just an ordinary mortal with flesh and blood, how can I recover my spiritual power?
In the next few days, I was alone, followed Qiao Yu's advice, temporarily gave up the company's work, and followed Qiao Yu no matter what he did.
I did this, on the one hand, to ensure my own safety, and on the other hand, to find out the real cause of An Lan's death as soon as possible.
However, what I didn't expect was that before a mystery could be solved, a deeper fog surrounded the city and me.
On the day when Jia Qing had not returned from a business trip, the city where Qiao Yu and I lived suddenly had disastrous weather.
On a June day, the sky suddenly became gloomy in the evening, and the fiery clouds and the beautiful sunset that had been lingering in the sky were suddenly gone, as if it were just a blink of an eye, and the whole sky was overcast and became dark and terrifying, and at the same time, the wind was so strong that people could not open their eyes.
At this time, Qiao Yu and I were taking a taxi from outside to rush home, but before we got home, we encountered such bad weather.
The raging wind was like a monster, whining and screaming between heaven and earth, and rampaging and destroying the streets, uprooting the bowl-mouthed trees, and the city's billboards and telephone poles were so unbearable that they fell from the sky.
What was even more terrifying was that only two minutes later, there was another dazzling lightning in the sky, and the lightning was like a poisonous snake spitting a long red core, greedily licking the earth, followed by an overwhelming torrential rain, and a head tilted down from the sky.
It's just that in the uninterrupted rain curtain, I vaguely looked up at the sky, and seemed to find that in the thick inky clouds, a terrible monster loomed.
Under the strong impact of the raging winds and heavy rains, many high-rise buildings in this city are difficult to withstand the ravages of this bad weather because they are tofu scum projects, and they are all far away.
Just when the taxi we were taking was caught in a torrent of traffic and couldn't break out, suddenly, a tall building more than ten meters high in front of us began to tilt without warning.
Countless people, frightened, poked their heads out of the window, waved their hands downward, crying for help, and the open glass window, in the storm, collided with each other, fell from a high altitude, and shattered to the ground.
The paint on the walls of the sloping high-rise building was completely torn apart from the wall as if it had been peeled off a layer of skin under the sweep of the wind, and smashed downward.
And there are countless pedestrians running for their lives below.
At the last moment, Qiao Yu could no longer hide his ability, in order to save people, he opened the car door directly, and immediately flew up, rushing to the rapidly falling construction debris, he waved his palm, and used his spiritual power to quickly transfer away the deadly lumpy paint that fell from the sky.
With his strength, I saw that the large swaths of peeling paint flew into unoccupied corners, crashed to the ground, and then collided with countless splashes.
Qiao Yu looked up at the building that was about to fall, and without hesitation, he called out his golden dragon and flew up, as if in just an instant, he transferred the crying people who were crying and shouting for help in the entire floor, because the speed was amazing, and Qiao Yu didn't want to frighten these people, so when he rescued, he used a grating formed by spiritual power to isolate the sight of these people, and the rescued people only felt that they were suddenly pulled out of the dangerous building, and then, in front of him, there was a golden light. Then they landed on the ground in a safe place.
However, the rescued people could not see the truth of the rescue, and the citizens who looked up at this dangerous scene screamed in fright.
Because they clearly saw a large ball of golden light flying in mid-air.
But people who don't know the truth would not have thought that the golden light was shrouded in a dragon that rescued people and a strange person full of spiritual power.
Only I knew it, and with my familiarity and understanding of Qiao Yu, I vaguely saw the dragon-shaped body hidden in the dazzling golden light.
When the people in the dangerous building were rescued, Qiao Yu hid the dragon again, and hurriedly ran back, he stepped on waist-deep rain, came to the car I was riding, pushed the car to a higher place, and then urged the driver and I to get out of the car first, find a safe place, and wait until the rain stopped, and then deal with the car.
The driver and I followed Qiao Yu's advice, evacuated from the car, and ran towards a sturdy building nearby under Qiao Yu's cover.
Soon, Qiao Yu and I and the driver came to the building safe and sound, but the worried Qiao Yu stood in front of the window, holding his breath and concentrating, stopping to watch, and soon, he said to me anxiously, "Lingyun, you stay here and don't move, wait until I go to save people and come back."
This storm came very strangely, I seemed to hear the cries for help of many people in danger nearby, I can't die without help, but I can't let you take this risk with me. ”
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave the sheltered building, looking at the torrent-like neighborhood outside the window, and the messy construction waste and congested cars on the street, I couldn't help but worry about Qiao Yu.
"Qiao Yu, don't leave me, my hearing is outstanding, you take me with you to save people, I will definitely be able to help you." I didn't worry about Qiao Yu's safety, so I begged him.
"No, Lingyun, it's too dangerous outside, I can't take you there, in those turbulent flowing waters, there are man-eating manholes hidden in some places, and in other places, there are live wires falling inside, and in the air, dangerous items are constantly dropping, so, no matter what, I can't let you take this risk."
Seeing that Qiao Yu insisted on not taking me there, I had to follow his advice.
I could only watch him disappear into the rain.
After Qiao Yu left, I took a closer look at the shelter from the rain, this is a very beautiful and luxurious building, the building may have a bank and other institutions, so it looks very tall.
Countless passers-by had no way to go for the time being, and they all crowded into this sturdy and beautiful building to escape the disaster.
Looking at the black crowd, I didn't have a trace of uneasiness and fear in the middle of it.
In the face of disaster, everyone is equal, and when everyone is under the shroud of disaster, no one has a sense of superiority.
Human life is like a mayfly, extremely small and fleeting, so in the face of great disasters, when there is no way to escape, we can only resign ourselves to fate.
My keen hearing heard the voices of a few people next to me, as if they had just passed by a street corner and saw several people lying in the deep rain, but they were in a hurry to flee for their lives, and did not dare to go into the water to save people, because they knew deep that there must be something dangerous and terrifying hidden in the water.
In order to survive, they had to pretend to be indifferent and quietly pass by the victims, and the living were safe and saved, but in exchange for a long period of sadness and guilt in their hearts.
I don't know, what am I going to do when I'm faced with that kind of horror scene? In the face of human nature and the choice between life and death, I am powerless to choose, and I am afraid that I will choose to escape and save my life like these people.
But Qiao Yu is not, he is obviously a strange race from a distant star, the city here is not his homeland, and the people here are not his brothers and sisters, he fell in love with this city and the people living in this city just because of me.
