In the silence, only Walker's muffled screams were heard.

He writhed wildly on the ground, trying to stir the essentia and evolve the dream to hide himself, but the soul on the verge of shattering no longer had any essentia power.

The burning boy smiled and stepped forward.

Walker opened his mouth, his distorted face screaming with all his might, and looked at the viewing platform on the height, his expression no longer had the confidence and ease it had before, only horror and pleading.

But no one responded.

In the silence, there was only the low footsteps of the young man who had turned into a demon and walked forward step by step.

There is also a cello melody that suddenly sounds.

G strings.

Huai Shi was stunned for a moment, turned her head in astonishment, and looked at the viewing platform above her head, on the hanger next to the muscular old man, the ringtone of her mobile phone came from Huai Shi's clothes.

"Excuse me, can you help me get it?"

“......”

In the speechless silence of everyone, only the eldest cousin enthusiastically helped him take out his mobile phone, opened the window and threw it over.

"Thank you!"

Huai Shi picked up the phone and connected the phone: "Hey, that one?"

On the phone was a rather mature and gentle female voice: "Is it Mr. Huaishi?"

"Yes. Huai Shi nodded, "What's the matter?"

"Since we didn't get a reply from you in our notification text message, we will manually notify you—" the woman said calmly, "the ABRSM professional cello exam you applied for will be held promptly tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, please be in fifteen minutes early to report, otherwise you will be deemed to have given up the exam." ”

"What?"

For a moment, Huai Shi froze in place, like falling into an ice cave, and the original crazy killing intent and hideousness disappeared, replaced by hesitation and helplessness.

"Mr. Huaishi, are you listening?"

Huai Shi shuddered for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Uh, okay...... I—I know ......."

"Is there something wrong?"

"No! no!" Huai Shi raised her voice in a panic: "Absolutely not!"

Except that I was so busy that I forgot to take the exam and didn't practice the piano in the past few days, there were no accidents at all.

Damn, why did you forget about this!

How can you forget it!

Huai Shi stomped her feet in remorse and slapped her head on the door: This is a bad dish!

“...... Well, I wish you the best of luck. ”

The woman on the phone politely said goodbye and hung up.

In the dead silence, Huai Shi maintained a stiff posture, and for a long time, she finally came back to her senses, and her original happiness had disappeared without a trace.

He hasn't practiced since he started to advance more than half a month ago......

This time he hung up on the exam.

Huai Shi listened to the busy sound on the phone, put down her hand sluggishly, and then couldn't help but curse a dirty word.

As if falling from happiness to despair in an instant, Huai Shi suddenly discovered that happiness is someone else's, and he has nothing......

It's so angry!

Why waste time on this kind of garbage!

Exasperated, he reached out and lifted the terrified nightmare on the ground.

"The dream is over, Mr. Walker. ”

He raised his palm, condensed the ashes mixed with the plague, and then stuffed it into his nostrils and mouth: "Now, it's nightmare time!"

When Huai Shi put down his hand, his eyes finally opened.

There was a dullness in the remaining eyes.

Nothing to look like.

All that was left was numb breathing and heartbeat.

The excess of negative essentia had completely engulfed his shattered soul, and the nightmare was finally overwhelmed by endless dreams of despair.

This is how this showdown ended.

Huai Shi slowly let go of her hand, let the drooling dementia fall to the ground, looked back at the high platform behind her, and took two steps back.

Handle the rest for yourselves.

Behind the floor-to-ceiling glass, the old man bowed his head expressionlessly, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Just a little bit.

If it weren't for that phone call......

"I'm afraid he won't be your opponent, Mr. Luo. The eldest cousin handed over an apple and grabbed a banana and nibbled it with relish: "That child gets nothing but pain from death, not a single bit of happiness."

In fact, he hated killing anything.

Such a person is destined to be impossible to become your inheritor, and it is impossible for him to ...... Get that done. ”

"yes. ”

The old man lowered his eyes: "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory." ”

After eating, the eldest cousin threw away the banana peel, rubbed his hands, and said seriously: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, we can actually find another way." ”

"Time is running out. ”

Luo Lao shook his head slowly, his expression calm: "There are some things that you always have to do yourself, right?"

The eldest cousin seemed to want to say something, but in the hurried footsteps, Huai Shi had already rushed in, picked up his coat, hurriedly waved his hand to greet everyone, and shouted to the old man: "I will ask for leave tomorrow!"

"Leave?"

Luo Lao frowned, "What to do?"

Do you think you're the only one in the world who is a teacher?"

Huai Shi replied as a matter of course, then hurriedly put on her hood, picked up the original photo that looked the most idle in the corner, and rushed out the door.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Hara Tegura struggled.

"There's no time to explain, let's go, let's get moving!"

"But I'm only fourteen years old and I don't have a driver's license......"

"Just step on the accelerator, go fast!"

Boom!

There was a crashing sound at the end of the hallway.

They hit the wall.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward, but the eldest cousin couldn't help laughing, and the smile was very inauthentic.

"Look, Mr. Luo, young people's affairs must always be solved by young people. ”

The eldest cousin turned his head and looked at the silent old man: "I think there is no need to be in such a hurry. ”

"Let's take a look at it again. ”

The old man lowered his eyes: "Let me see ...... again"

.

.

In the evening, Ai Qing saw Liu Dongli in the lounge of the Jinling branch.

He sat in his chair, his coffee in front of him unmoving, as if he was waiting for someone.

She shook her head and walked over with her cane: "He's not here. ”

"I'll wait for you. ”

Liu Dongli shook his head and smiled, and pointed to the seat in front of him: "Are you free?"

Ai Qing was stunned for a moment, looked at him deeply, for a long time, and slowly shook her head: "It doesn't matter, it's dinner time." ”

She sat down opposite Liu Dongli and placed the box of dinner in her hand on the table.

Vegetable salad and a few slices of meat.

She picked up her fork, "There's a coordination meeting later, do you mind if I talk while eating?"

Liu Dongli snapped his fingers and motioned for the waiter to bring a cup of hot tea, before turning back to look at her: "Eating cold food is not good for the stomach." ”

"Where did you learn your honest tone?"

Ai Qing frowned: "Is your brain broken?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just met my ex-girlfriend, and my tone hasn't changed. Liu Dongli coughed twice in embarrassment: "Don't worry, it's not borrowing money." ”

“...... I'm so relieved to hear you say that. ”

Ai Qing responded calmly, not knowing whether it was irony or truth, "So, you want to say that there are more troublesome questions waiting for me?"

"About Huaishi ......"

Ai Qing knew that questions about him were usually troublesome, but after Liu Dongli paused, the words continued: "And you." ”

As a result, the problem becomes more and more troublesome.

"I don't know the attitude of the Yin family. She said bluntly, "But Huaishi should be seen as a threat, ......right? You should know how rare this title is. ”

Liu Dongli was speechless.

He had already realized that this unlucky child could always surprise people in unexpected places.

There are only sixteen rare titles in the world, which is even rarer than a fifth-order sublimator. Even if the user base of the dark web is not large, the sublimator who can fight his way through the nightmare game and win the legendary crown should not be taken lightly no matter what.

Especially when this sublimator still has a grudge against himself.

It's too normal for the Yin family to make some moves.

But now there is no need to worry about this, especially after the eldest cousin publicly expressed his appreciation for Huai Shi - even if he seems to be no longer approachable, that person is still the director of the Jinling Social Security Bureau, and his words and deeds can represent the attitude of the Dongxia lineage.

What's more, his sister is now the second white emperor of Dongxia, and his father is the famous natural enemy of the worlds, Chu Hai - such a character, even if it is a straw bag, he stomps his feet, and Jinling will tremble.

And the worst thing is that he is not.

When he deliberately reminded everyone in some places that he didn't want anything unpleasant to happen, the Yin family naturally wouldn't choose to let something happen that everyone didn't want to happen.

If the Yin family wants to kill Huai Shi, they will definitely let him die openly and blamelessly, instead of rubbing his hands behind his back and letting him die in vain.

Liu Dongli is not very worried about the wind and waves on the bright side, anyway, the life of a dead child is very hard, and it doesn't matter if you toss and toss more.

"I'm actually more worried about you than Huaishi. ”

Liu Dongli looked at her deeply: "The Yin family has started to put pressure on you recently, right?"

Ai Qing didn't speak, just lowered her head and ate her dinner, and even the frequency of her movements did not change. It wasn't until a long time later that she put down the lunch box in her hand, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, raised her head and told him, "This has nothing to do with you." ”

"What about Huaishi?"

Liu Dongli asked rhetorically, and Ai Qing frowned.

"A few days ago, there was an account that inquired about the details of the Yin family's industrial structure and main members-" Liu Dongli frowned: "This is the news I got directly through my friend's channel." ”

"It's not necessarily Huai Shi. ”

Liu Dongli didn't speak, and directly took out his mobile phone to show Ai Qing the avatar of this account.

She was stunned for a long time, and sighed softly: "This photo is really stupid...... Who filmed him?"

"I'd like to know, too. ”

Liu Dongli said: "Even if you don't plan to involve him now, he plans to jump into this muddy water, not to mention, he should care about you." ”

Ai Qing was expressionless: "It's not as exaggerated as you think." ”

"It's not as frivolous as you say, is it?"

Liu Dongli looked at her for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "To be honest, I didn't expect that your mother would be Huaishi's cello enlightenment teacher...... I should have thought a long time ago that Ai Ting, the most famous cellist in Dongxia, was your mother. ”

In the silence, Ai Qing's eyes changed.

It was as if the cover hanging on the outside had been torn apart by a piece of iron of rage, revealing a chilling blade.

"I don't know what you're trying to say, Liu Dongli, but there's one thing I can warn you of. ”

She stared into the eyes of the man in front of her and told him word by word: "Don't mention her name, not even a word!"
