Chapter 37: The Crisis Is Approaching
"Old woman, you say that you are so good at books, haha it is like the real thing. ”
The young people were startled by the old woman's exaggerated look, and several people took out the loose money and put it on the floor, and they still had some unfinished thoughts about this story called the Demon Tide. The heinous monsters in the story, the tragic crimes, and the heroic Acropolis Legion protecting women and children, the scenes seem to be shown in the old woman's mouth as if they were alive.
The story of the magic tide inspires the heroic dreams of young people.
Yes, the arrival of the disaster, the expectation of the weak to the strong, the illusion that they will turn the tide by themselves.
That should be in the limelight.
"You said that the monsters in Luo Yan Mountain will come again?" In the crowd, Chen Zhe asked the old woman with a frown.
"Haha, someone really takes it seriously. The others looked at it with a smile.
Chen Zhe glanced at the man, and met the unfriendly gaze in his eyes, and the person who laughed at Chen Zhe closed his mouth in amusement.
Chen Zhe continued to look at the old woman who had lost her vitality after telling the story and looked old.
"Hehe, young man, this is just a story made up by an old woman. The old woman laughed slowly.
"Really?"
Chen Zhe raised the corners of his mouth: "So, how did Luo Yanshan appear out of thin air." Seventeen years ago, the mountain didn't exist. ”
The old woman raised her eyelids, and there was a little more meaning in her eyes: "Child, you shouldn't know so much." ”
"I have a gut feeling that what you're saying is true. ”
Chen Zhe's expression was very serious, the crowd listening to the book had dispersed at this moment, and he stood in front of the old woman who was collecting the stall and did not leave: "Since you know that the demon tide is going to appear again, why don't you tell everyone to take refuge." ”
"The arrangement of life and death is predestined in the dark. The old woman turned her back and put away the loose money on the ground.
"Shanan Town has a population of tens of thousands, and a sentence with an arrangement in the dark can make the difference between life and death?" Chen Zhe lowered his voice.
"As you can see, I'm a handful of old men. The old woman replied.
"Then tell me, what happened in Luo Yan Mountain, and why are there signs of monsters coming down the mountain recently? If it is true after my investigation, this evacuation matter cannot be delayed. Chen Zhechai said.
"Huh. The old woman laughed in a hoarse voice.
She turned her back to Chen Zhe and said slowly: "Seventeen years ago, there was a man who did this, for which he lost his wife, and he himself was also severely injured in the battle with monsters. However, instead of being honored as a hero, he was regarded by the resentful townspeople as a sinner who attracted monsters, and he is still imprisoned in a provincial prison and tortured endlessly. ”
Chen Zhe was puzzled when he heard this, and was about to ask, when the old woman turned her head in her sight and cast an inexplicable look: "What a coincidence, I remember, that person not only spoke exactly the same as you back then, but even his facial features looked seven points similar to you." ”
"What did you say?" said a stir in Chen Zhe's mind.
"Kid, get out of town. You guys have given so much for this place. ”
The sound echoed from all sides like an echo in the valley.
He walked towards the old woman, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't scream in his throat, just like a silent movie watching the old woman disappear into the crowd frame by frame.
The speed of the crowd gradually returned to normal, and the bustling and lively shouting began to reach the ears.
Chen Zhe came back to his senses, turned around and said to Liu Xinyan in astonishment: "Did you hear it just now? ”
"What's that?" she said, she's old. Liu Xinyan was a little surprised by Chen Zhe's change in demeanor.
"Didn't you hear the last few sentences?" Chen Zhe was surprised.
Liu Xinyan frowned in confusion, she really didn't hear it, and then said kindly: "Are you too tired lately." Take a good rest. ”
"Probably. Chen Zhe looked thoughtfully in the direction of the old woman's departure.
In such a short period of time, from a preliminarily awakened martial artist to level 13, and also defeated a master like Li Junwei, Liu Xinyan couldn't imagine how hard Chen Zhe had undergone.
She really felt hard for Chen Zhe in her heart.
"Demon Chao, the person from sixteen years ago..."When Liu Xinyan was sent back to the door of the second courtyard, Chen Zhe was still thinking.
"Okay, don't think about it, how could that happen. ”
Liu Xinyan tapped Chen Zhe's nose, and after her eyes met Chen Zhe's gaze, the woman put away her smile, and she came over and hugged Chen Zhe softly.
"Xinyan. Chen Zhe was caught off guard, and only felt a softness hugging into his arms.
"I know what you said when we met. Liu Xinyan's serious voice was very moving, soft and firm: "I will reply to you in a few days." ”
After the words fell, she took a few steps back, waved her hand at the stupid Chen Zhe with a quiet smile, and turned around and walked into the second courtyard.
Chen Zhe maintained the posture of being hugged by Liu Xinyan, petrified and motionless.
"Shouldn't she say that if she doesn't give up after college, she will consider agreeing... How, how only a few days... She, she gave me an answer. ”
Chen Zhe took a deep breath, went to the roadside convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes, and walked home alone while smoking.
It took me until 3 a.m. to get to the door.
A pack of cigarettes is gone.
Chen Zhe looked up at the starry sky, he was still him, and the people around him were still the people around him, but they all seemed to be a little different.
When confessing in her previous life, Liu Xinyan would never take the initiative to hug him, nor did she directly refuse first like today, and later inadvertently took the initiative to bring the relationship between the two closer.
Is it the difference in Yoo Shin-yeon's personality here?
Or is it because of the butterfly effect.
Or is it that Liu Xinyan in this world actually has deeper feelings than she in another world, but the girl hides it and doesn't show it.
Damn, Chen Zhe knocked his head, he is really not a smart person in the relationship between men and women.
He couldn't figure it out...
However, Chen Zhe covered his heart, and he found that he seemed to be more interested in Liu Xinyan like this, after all, the kind of girl who can only shy and avoid is dressed as a twist and pinch, and she really has a lot less charm.
What are you really thinking?
She hasn't said anything about her confession, where do she want to go.
But if she refused, why did Liu Xinyan hug herself, Chen Zhe felt that she had actually agreed by default.
In a few days, he will be able to become boyfriend and girlfriend with this beautiful girl.
It must be like this! Chen Zhe clenched his fists to cheer himself up.
Chen Zhe, who returned to the room, lay down and fell asleep, sleeping tossed and turned, tossed and turned, turned and turned, and then turned to the side, until the edge of the sky was covered with a white belly.
What a bullshit demon tide!
Chen Zhe was completely thrown to Mars, and the whole sleep was a beautiful picture of him and Liu Xinyan hugging each other, walking hand in hand on the university campus, and living together after class.
"Where are you!"
Early the next morning, the silent mobile phone kept vibrating and woke Chen Zhe up.
picked up the phone and looked at it, it was only 9 o'clock, and after connecting it, Xue Dingkai's anxious voice came from the phone: "Hey, hey, Azhe, did you hear it? Where are you!"
"I'm sleeping. Chen Zhe said and snorted.
"Okay, you just go back to sleep, don't go out anywhere today, you know. Xue Dingkai said.
Chen Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly: "What happened." ”
"You, hey, I am. There was a sigh on the phone.
Chen Zhe didn't understand: "What the hell is going on." ”
"A few days ago, I asked you to be careful of that guy named Yan Biao, why are you so impulsive, now Yan Biao is going to get you. He has already proposed to the Warrior Guild to remove you from the Shanan Town Title List, and has also sent his subordinates to hold you accountable to the Warrior Guild. ”
"It was Li Junwei's instigation, right? Chen Zhe's eyes showed a fierce light.
"Yes and not quite. Xue Dingkai replied.
"What do you mean. Chen Zhe didn't understand.
"Do you remember a guy named Yan Long?" said a depressed voice on the phone.
Chen Zhe sat up suddenly, and said towards the mobile phone: "Don't tell me that Yan Biao is the brother who co-manages Yan Long." ”
"Ah Zhe, you are so clever and guessed right. Xue Dingkai complained.
Thinking back to the fight that day, Yan Long was arrogant, and he also said that his brother was the top ten powerhouses in the town-level sequence, and Chen Zhe always thought that he was bragging and farting.
"Ah Zhe, you abolished his own brother, and lost face to his godbrother Li Junwei. Yan Biao couldn't help but do it himself!" Xue Dingkai said: "You just stay at home and don't go anywhere, he is not covering the sky with one hand in Shanan Town, and he will not forcibly ask someone to break in and get you." Even if he dares to do this, you will immediately call the police. ”
"I had a game in the afternoon. Chen Zhe said in a deep voice.
"Oh, what kind of competition do you care, he has proposed to the Martial Arts Guild to remove your qualification. Xue Dingkai said hurriedly.
"Is this what he wants to mention, the Martial Arts Guild is official to the state, and it is not opened by his Yan family. Chen Zhe said.
There was a silence on the phone, a few breaths, and Xue Dingkai's voice seemed very difficult: "Ah Zhe... Yan Biao reported that you are the son of a sinner, and according to the martial arts regulations, you should not have the qualifications of a martial artist... That is, you belong to the red name list. To be honest, I checked before I called you, and there really is such a thing... The Warrior Guild will take action soon, and if the investigation is strict, they will forcibly abolish your demonic cultivation. ”
Chen Zhe put down his phone, lay down and looked at the ceiling quietly.
"Hey, Ah Zhe, Ah Zhe, why is there no sound?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Don't think about it, even if you can't be a martial artist, it's a big deal that my brother will cover you in the future, and no one will bully you. ”
