Under the dim light, the bartender gently swayed his body, extremely elegantly mixing a glass of colorful cocktails, flashing and rapid neon lights, dim and moving, attracting one after another ** and need to comfort people's hearts, the air was mixed with the smell of smoke and alcohol, men and women were twisting their waists and buttocks frantically on the dance floor, and the brightly dressed women were giggling and playing with the men, teasing those men who couldn't control themselves with frivolous words. The woman is charmingly shrunk in the arms of the man, and the man is drinking wine while fooling around with the woman.

Tian Yuan and his party sat in a corner.

Pete poured a small glass of whiskey and breathed a long sigh of relief, and his little eyes suddenly flashed, "Why aren't we so hi there?" After saying that, he got up, took his wine glass, and joined the dancing crowd.

"As soon as he saw a place like this, he just—" Thomas smiled and held up a triangular cup filled with lemonade and stretched it out to Alyssa.

"You see he's still twisting like that. Alyssa touched Thomas back, her eyes curled.

Tian Yuan propped his head on the table with one hand, watching Pete in the center of the dance floor hold a wine glass and dance under the flickering colored lights.

"This is still the appearance of a fourteen-year-old"

Tian Yuan turned his head to look at Edward, and found that Edward had fallen asleep leaning back in the soft chair, his face leaning sideways against the wall. Brown and black bangs hung down on his forehead, the dim light flickered slightly on his delicate cheeks, and the wings of his nose trembled slightly, Tian Yuan propped up the soft chair and moved towards him, gently helping him cover his clothes.

Looking at Edward, the scenery reflected in Tian Yuan's pupils seemed to be back to half a month ago.

It was a vast desert, a dead sea of sand. Majestic, quiet, with a straight face, always giving people a monotonous color. Yellow, yellow, that scorching yellow. It is as if nature has frozen the turbulent waves and the empty angry waves here in an instant. At this time, a car broke through the sea of sand and broke through the wind and waves.

"Oh!" Pete stood in the back seat of the car, howling excitedly at the sky as he picked up his sweat-soaked clothes. Thomas sat in the car with a map on his lap and looked at it. Edward leaned on the back seat of the car and turned his face sideways to look at the surging sand waves in the distance.

"I don't know, Edmund, how they're doing now. Tian Yuan turned his face sideways,

Alyssa looked at Tian Yuan, "Sister Nancy, she should take care of him and Jason for us." ”

Tian Yuan pouted, lowered his head first, and after a while, raised his eyes again, looking at the sky in the distance.

"Degus is located in the south of the Sisikarma Desert in the south-central part of the Ali continent, located in the plain, where it is known as the pearl of the desert because of its complete modern city construction, developed economy, and good greening. It's really not comparable to us, and a lot of our rich people have moved to this place. Not only are the conditions good, but Degus is also an outstanding person here, and there have been many people. The most famous is George Adelaide, who served as Chairman of Noah. ”

"How do you act like a tour guide," Pete said to Thomas, who was holding the map.

"However, I heard that Degus's recent political situation is a bit unstable, and the new mayor has not been in office for a long time, and it seems that there are many people who oppose him. ”

"Don't worry, we're not politicians, why worry about this," Pete said and didn't forget to shout twice.

Tian Yuan took out the fast pocket watch from his arms, stared at it for a long time, and then clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand. Look at the tsunami-like sandy wind in the distance, flying wantonly against the horizon.

"Hey, look!" Pete excitedly pointed ahead and looked back at Tian Yuan, everyone's eyes moving to the fading yellow veil in the distance.

Towering tall buildings slowly rose from the horizon, first from a point, gradually, into a line, and finally stretched into a surface, as if to push the whole sky, as if a magnificent song was played, like a large mural in a church, majestic, solemn, vast, completely the product of the desert. In this moment of noisy wind, restless desert, strange calm and quiet. That's it, so the outline of this city, which is known as the pearl of the desert, was revealed little by little in front of Tian Yuan and his party.

"It's been half a month, and there is still no news about pocket watches. Tian Yuan sighed and turned around to take a sip of iced lemonade.

At this moment, a fat hand suddenly pressed on Alyssa's hand on the wine table, and Alyssa's fingertips suddenly cooled and then suddenly slammed into his heart. Tian Yuan, Thomas raised his head suddenly, it was a bald head more than two meters tall with a fat face, a wrinkled face, and a lewd smile that looked like he had just smoked powder, like a snake writhing in stinky water, which made people really feel terrifying and disgusting.

"This beauty, play with my grandfather, how.. kind .." Before the words were finished, the whole thing seemed to lose its center of gravity, staggered, and the whole face came to Tian Yuan and them at once, and the pair of eyes that were originally shaking were fixed on Tian Yuan and them all of a sudden, like a hungry wolf, so scared that Tian Yuan They couldn't help but shiver "Ha-" A mouthful of wine, accompanied by his breathing, suddenly poured into Tian Yuan's nostrils, choking them and coughing.

Alyssa frowned, and she wanted to pull her hand out with all her strength, but she didn't expect that Dahan's strength was too great and useless, and Tian Yuan and the others were also shocked by the sudden scene in front of them. Before they could figure out what to do, Alyssa was lifted from the chair by an irresistible force, and Tian Yuan and the others rushed forward to grab Alyssa, but they suddenly fell into the air and fell to the ground.

The big man dragged Alyssa with one hand, and the other hand began to reach for Alyssa's body.

Tian Yuan and the others were all stunned, but no matter how hard they tried to rush towards Alyssa's position, it seemed that it was too late.

The big man's hand slowly touched Alyssa's face, slid towards her neck, and slowly slid down....

Alyssa closed her eyes in despair

Teeth clench on lips

I thought to myself

"It's over"

For some reason, Edward's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Ahh Yes... Pain... Painful"

"Letting go"

At this time, a hand suddenly appeared and was held on the wrist of the big man.

I saw Edward holding the clothes he had just covered his body with one hand, and squeezing the big man's hand with the other.

As soon as Alyssa broke free from the big man's grasp, she hid behind Edward.

Edward handed a piece of clothing to Alyssa, "Don't get dirty"

At this time, the big man had already broken free from Edward's hands, and the sharp pain just now seemed to have made him sober up a lot, the big man took a few steps back and rubbed his hands, "You dare to get me" , from behind the pistol was about to rush up to do a fight, suddenly felt a hurricane hit the face, a big hand suddenly in front of him, and then it was dark in front of him, only to feel a force that he couldn't resist so that he couldn't fall back, suddenly lost his center of gravity, felt like he was falling, suddenly the back of the head slammed into the face, colorful colors suddenly flashed in front of him, and he was unconscious.

Edward let go of his grip on the big man's face and stood up. At this time, Pete also rushed back from the dance floor with a wine glass, "What's the situation, what's the situation?"

Edward walked back to Alyssa, "Let's get out of here now. ”

Pete hurriedly placed the wine glass on the table, and Alyssa took out a few coins and put them under the bed. The group hurried to the door.

"Big brother, that leap just now, grabbing the bad guy's face and smashing it to the ground is just pretty cool," Tian Yuan said as he trotted after them, looking at Edward adoringly.

Edward was still the same bitter gourd mouth as always. When he was about to reach the door, Edward suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, this feeling was something he had never felt before, he immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged uncle with reddish-brown short hair sitting at the table at the door, wearing a pair of black sunglasses and holding a glass of vodka in his hand, looking at them meaningfully, Edward turned his head without looking too much and ran out of the bar.

The night scene of the big city is always luxurious and gorgeous, walking on the street, you are always surrounded by the music that floats everywhere, and the moonlight and neon lights slowly infiltrate the city in the huge sky. The crowd of people, the cars everywhere, cast all the feelings into the time of running wildly, and the fatigue is overwhelming.

The words of various shops, bars, and leisure places flashed behind Tian Yuan and his party one by one, and then disappeared into the darkness. After shuttling through the crowd for a long time, the group came to a hotel. Everyone was just about to go up, Tian Yuan touched his body and found that the pocket watch was gone.

A gust of air rushed up, resisting Tian Yuan's throat and eyes, his heart seemed to be lifted by something, Tian Yuan hurriedly slapped it again and again in other places on his body, and his heart was even more suspenseful. He looked up at the group.

"Didn't it fall into the bar? Alyssa comforted Tengen. "Don't worry, let's go back and have a look"

"No need, I'll go back and have a look alone, you guys go to the hotel first, I'll come back to you later." ”

"What. Pete looked a little angry, "What if something happens to your little cub." ”

Pete's words were like stuffing a ball of warm cotton into Tian Yuan's heart, giving him a hotbed for his heart to land.

Tian Yuan nodded, and was about to turn around and set off. There was a smell of wine behind him,

"That's not the pocket watch you're talking about. ”
