The Left Hand of the Devil Chapter 21 Gains and Losses
The red-clothed man who took the heavens from Jin Fei's room last night turned out to be back again.
When he came back, he originally wanted to take a closer look at Jin Yan, and maybe he still wanted to ask her a few words. But when he came, Jin Yu was no longer there.
He just sat in the dark and waited for her, as if it were a matter of course.
If she is not there, then he will wait, and wherever she goes, she will definitely return to him in the end.
It all seemed like a natural thing, even though he didn't even see the woman's face.
But he didn't expect him to wait until late at night, but Jin Yu never came back.
After all, his power in Yudu is still very limited, and if he wants to know her whereabouts at all times, he may need to use Ye Shuoguang's power.
But he didn't want to alarm Ye Shuoguang, he didn't want Ye Shuoguang's eyes to be projected too much on this woman, but for what reason, even he couldn't tell.
I'd rather just keep waiting.
He already knew the news of Qi Lu's sudden departure in the morning, which saved him a lot of trouble. But his talent followed Qi Lu out of the city, and he lost it.
That's not good news.
He was supposed to investigate Qi Lu's whereabouts first, but this knife and the woman's existence stopped him.
He shouldn't be like this, he shouldn't be here doing nothing, just for a woman he has never met.
But he couldn't rest assured, and when he thought of the woman living alone in this courtyard, not only did she not return all night, but there were also many blood-stained bandages scattered in the room.
His heart was in turmoil, and a trace of inexplicable boredom choked in his heart.
But if he just admitted that he was in danger of being a strange woman in his life, wouldn't it be a big joke.
He sat motionless in the dark, and occasionally heard the sound of someone walking in the front yard, and the old servant had also entered the courtyard to check a few times, but no one had ever noticed that he had quietly entered Jin Yan's room, and had stayed in it all the time.
It was late at night, and the hour had passed.
It seemed that the woman would probably not be back tonight, and he was about to leave, but he was about to open the door when he stopped.
He clenched the heavens around his waist, looked back again, and strode over to the heart of the moon that was set aside. The heavens seemed to sense something, and there was a slight vibration.
He walked over to the table and hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind.
He picked it up, and the heavens and the heart let out a happy murmur at the same time.
Yes, pleasure.
He didn't understand why he suddenly had such thoughts, but he couldn't deny that this was the truest feeling in his heart at this time, and even the previous trace of boredom seemed to be diluted a lot.
He took the heart in his hand and looked at it carefully, and some strange feelings welled up in his heart.
When he took the heavens, he had a kind of joy of regaining what was lost, as if he had been reunited with an old friend, or perhaps a reunited by fate.
He knew that the heavens were his, and though he had forgotten many things, the heavens were made by him, and he gave life to them with his own hands.
He didn't even need to know its name, he just held it in his hand and he knew it was part of his bloodline.
But when he picked up the heart, there was an indescribable mood in his heart, mixed with a trace of imperceptible tenderness.
This feeling was a little strange, but he was not disgusted, but felt that all this seemed so natural.
It seems that when I have dreamed back at midnight, I have been secretly looking forward to such a reunion countless times. It's just that this feeling has been quietly hidden in the depths of my dreams, and I didn't know it until now.
My heart throbbed so deeply that I could not speak, and my mind was agitated by the reunion, but my mind was still confused.
I can't even remember how I have anything to do with you, but my heart has engraved everything about you in place of my memory, and it was only then that this long-awaited reunion was ushered in.
My heart was awakened, so jubilant, so excited that even the memory was ready to move, it made me so uneasy, so impatient, so restless, that I wanted to think of everything at once, but I was afraid of being disappointed.
I have never experienced such a cautious mood of gaining and losing.
But thankfully, I've waited so long for this fateful reunion.
He walked to the side and sat down with the heart and the heavens, and slowly injected two weapons at the same time with a gentle internal force.
The man in red appeared in his mind again, but this time it was not just the man in red, there was also a girl in black, with ten fingers interlocked.
The girl in black seemed to want to say something to him, but was pulled away by the man in red. Before he left, he glared at him impatiently, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a white light took over his mind.
Pictures slowly flowed through his mind with the white light, and he was immersed in this scene of the past, almost losing consciousness of the present world.
Outside the house, the bright moon hung high, the night was as cool as water, and the gears of fate seemed to speed up.
I don't know how long it took, he slowly opened his eyes, there was still a trace of laziness on his beautiful face, and his always sharp eyes seemed peaceful and melancholy at this time, and there was a trace of gentleness, really like a gentle and affectionate beauty.
But it was just an illusion for a moment, and when his eyes returned to clarity, it could never be the eyes that any peerless beauty could have.
He seemed to have had a long dream, but unfortunately this dream was incomplete, he could only see the end of this dream, and the previous part was blurry and illegible.
After all, too much time has passed, and the artifact is just a dead thing after all, and it can't completely record those pasts.
Luckily, he saw the end of the dream.
I finally have some clues, but if I want to pursue more memories, I'm afraid it can't be done with these two artifacts alone.
Perhaps, he should go back, to the place where he woke up, and see if there are any more clues.
However, he was a little relieved, because he already knew that the woman he had never met must be an extremely important person to him. However, there are some things he has to do, and some responsibilities that he can't relieve, so where should he go?
Early the next morning, while Jin Yu was still asleep, she was awakened by a low knock on the door.
"Who?"
"It's me. It's not early, and there are some things that the girl needs to get up and deal with. “
It's Jade Niang.
Jin Yu was still in a trance, and she paused for a moment before reacting. By the way, last night she stayed in the dance building according to Qi Quan's instructions.
"Wait a minute."
Jin Yu hurriedly got up and sorted out her clothes and opened the door. Yu Niang walked into the room, helped her freshen up, and ordered someone to bring some delicate snacks.
"How was the rest yesterday? Are you feeling better? “
"It's still a little weak, but it's not as bad as yesterday's pain, thank you Yu Niang for taking care of it."
"It's just a gesture, you don't have to be so polite. But although you did not hurt your internal organs, the external wound was very serious, and you must not do anything with anyone again. “
"Jin Yu wrote it down."
"Today was supposed to give you a good rest, but I heard that you have made an appointment with someone, and there are some things in the building that need to be dealt with, if it is late, I am afraid that it will delay your agreed hour."
"Yu Niang's words are serious, so naturally it is important to get down to business."
"If you don't mind, call me sister, we're barely a boat now."
"Then I'm welcome, I don't know what Sister Yu is about?"
"Actually, it's the stall left by Qi Lu, and before he left, he made a statement to the young master, and he wanted you to take over."
"Let me take over? But I'm new to the city, and even if Mr. Ritsu makes a suggestion, I'm afraid it won't be able to convince the public. “
"That's true, so the young master neither agreed nor objected, but said that he might as well hand over this business to you first."
"Business?"
"You should know that Wushenglou is in the business of buying lives, but Wushenglou is in the business of news."
"I've heard some of them mentioned, but the details are not clear."
"Wusheng Building, Hades Palace. Feng Wan Jin, the law is now. Black Kill Order, Chase Talisman. Whoever receives the order, prepare a coffin. The woman in black, the soul snatcher. Childe died, the true king of Hades.
This ballad is the best way to explain it.
Wushenglou only takes over one business every month, and on the fifteenth day of each month, the guests will deposit the names of the people they want to kill and the gold taels to the designated silver number, and then these names will eventually be sent to Qi Lu.
It is then up to him to decide which business to take and how much it will cost.
For rejected customers, the gold will be returned intact, and for accepted business, the excess gold will be refunded according to the price, and the guests will be notified to make up for the shortage.
As long as Qi Lu decides to take over the business, the guest must pay the corresponding price. After receiving the money, Wushenglou will definitely do it, no matter what the cost is. “
"The price ... Is this so-called price a measure of the life of the person killed, or the life of the killer in the lifeless building? “
"In the past three years, the business taken over by Wushenglou has never failed, which has made Wushenglou have today's status. Countless people have died under our hands, but how can we calculate the price paid by Wushenglou. “
"I... So if I take over Mr. Lil's booth, does it mean that every decision I make is related to one or more lives? “
"I'm afraid there is far more than one, in recent years, the power of Wushenglou has become bigger and bigger, and the price has become higher and higher, how can ordinary people be worth such a high price. In the whole year of last year, Wushenglou took over 12 businesses, 7 destroyed doors, and 3 strong enemies, which is already hundreds of lives. “
"Hundreds... So many lives are just a thought of me... And how can the value of human life be so simply measured in money? “
"That being said, this is how the Birthless Building survives. Either kill someone else or die under someone else's knife. “
Jin Yu didn't answer for a while, but just clenched her hand, kept letting go and clenching it, her expression was a little strange, and her consciousness seemed to have flown out of the clouds.
Is this the purpose of the death sent, to attack her?
To kill or to be killed, it turned out that this was the choice she was asked to make.
Yu Niang didn't urge her, just looked at her quietly, and her eyes were full of pity.
"If you can't accept it, then leave, leave this place of right and wrong."
"Leave..."
"Yes, get out of here, before you're completely out of your mind."
"Where can I go without this? I'm already in this game, what's more, do you think I can still get out of this Yudu City safely? “
After saying this, Jin Yu fell silent again.
To kill or to be killed?
Without her, there would be others. Others will not only kill her first, but many more.
Her sacrifice was worthless.
She originally had no right to decide the life and death of others, but this river and lake has always had its own rules.
She turned her head and looked out the window quietly. The sky, which was still somewhat dark, lit up little by little, and the first rays of sunlight of the morning shone in. Her eyes also slowly changed from the initial confusion and struggle to determination.
"You've decided?"
"Someone has to do this, not me, but someone else. I have to stay here, stay alive and stay here, and only by staying alive can everything be possible. “
"Yes, it only makes sense to be alive."
"I can't end this, but now that I've decided to stay, I won't run away anymore, I just want to try to avoid hurting innocent people."
"You can decide the life and death of some people, but at the same time you have to hurt some people that you don't want to hurt."
"What you get will also face loss, how can there be any pie-in-the-sky good thing."
"There is no simple gain or loss in this world, and what you want to gain must also learn to lose first. Of course, if you lose something, you will gain something, although it may not be as you would like. “
"It's getting late, let's get started."
"Come with me."
Yu Niang nodded and walked out of the room first.
Jin Yu glanced back at the window again, and it turned out that the sky was completely bright. The morning sun shone in through the panes, casting dappled light and shadow on the dimly lit corridors.
This time, Yu Niang did not go upstairs, but walked down the stairs one by one until the hall on the first floor. The dance building in this day has no bustle at night, especially in the early morning, the whole hall is empty, and there is no figure.
Yu Niang went to the first floor, but entered the backyard through an inconspicuous small door, and when she entered the backyard, there was a remote staircase leading to the underground. Jin Yu followed her step by step down, until she completely left the sunlight behind her.
At the end of the stairs is a bluestone secret door, Yu Niang groped a few times, as if touching something, the stone door slowly opened. Behind the stone gate is an endless corridor, and the stone walls on both sides of the corridor are lit with faint oil lamps, barely illuminating the corridor.
"Perhaps, from now on, I will no longer be able to be in the sun, or even look directly at this invisible light.
I will flee into darkness, silent in death, lost in the sea of blood.
Is it worth it? Is this what I am all about?
I do not know.
But in life, we can only move forward, we can't stand looking back, and we can't go backwards."
