Chapter 96: Seven Killing Stones (17)
As the sun sunken below the horizon, the sky gradually turned black. The moon rises, the stars emerge, and the light light replaces the blazing warmth of daylight. Eventually, when the group of ebony trees ended photosynthesis and turned to respiration, the temperature in the forest dropped suddenly.
Feeling the change in temperature, Li Mengxi, who was huddled in front of the hut located in the depths of the forest swamp, also woke up from his dream and opened his eyes little by little.
He first looked at the electronic watch in the corner of his field of vision to confirm the time - 7:30 p.m. Then, he stood up and stretched. Finally, he turned to face the still dark hut.
This is what it looked like when I arrived here early this morning, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the evening.
If Temon RΓΆntgen returned, he would not have noticed it, and Temon would certainly not have ignored the people blocking the door.
In other words, Tymon has not returned since he left early in the morning. Isn't there something wrong?
Thinking like this, Li Mengxi stepped on the low steps and tried to turn the doorknob. Immediately, a window pops up in front of you: you are not authorized by the owner.
The fact that the house did not become ownerless shows that Tymon Roentgen was still alive. It seems that he is simply out of the house for something.
As for the specific time of return, Li Mengxi has no way to speculate. Now, he didn't plan to go back first.
"I can only wait patiently. Saying with some disappointment, Li Mengxi turned around and took two steps down, and then sat down on the low steps at the door.
Then, he pulled up the phone and dialed Hinata's number.
After a short "jingle bell", a slight breathing sound sounded in my ears.
"Nain. He called softly.
"Mengxi!" the girl on the other end of the phone exclaimed, "I just want to call you too! It's so late, where have you been!"
"At the door of Mr. Roentgen's house. β
"Huh, didn't he let you in?"
"Not really. I've been sitting here for a day now. β
"One day, Mr. RΓΆntgen is not at home?"
"yes. β
"Then why don't you come back first!At least find a place to live in the Black Bamboo Forest!" Hinata said with some annoyance.
"That's right, but it seems like it's only camping today. β
"That's just as well. There are too many dangers at night over there. So, can you come back tomorrow?"
"I don't know. I just want to tell you this, it's best if I can finish tomorrow, if not, I'll probably have to stay here for a few days. β
"This is also a helpless thing. β
"Hmm. What's going on over there? Is there any danger?"
"At least there were no accidents today, but what I'm doing now is kind of a bit of a danger on my own. β
Hearing this, Li Mengxi suddenly tensed his nerves and asked sharply, "What's the matter?"
So, Naine Hinata told Li Mengxi the trapping plan she had discussed with Lauren Thomson.
"What do you think?" she asked, apprehensively.
"Hmm...... Isn't it nice!"
"Great!" Hinata Nain cheered happily, causing Li Mengxi to smile slightly.
"Are you so happy to hear me say a 'good' word?"
"Yes, you agreed. It feels good. β
"Nain, it's already very powerful. I don't need to agree with it at all. β
"Of course I know that, but ...... Didn't I say that I want to stand by your side? I always feel that if I don't get recognized by you, I will never get closer. β
"So you've been worrying about this. Didn't I say it before? Only if you are by my side, the world is colorful. I've been with you for a long time...... No, I should have asked you to stay with me, and if you left me, it would be bothered. β
β...... Do you mean 'all the time'?"
"Well, of course it's 'all the time'. β
"Well, you don't know what 'always' means. β
"'Always' is 'always', so what else can it mean?"
"Stupid. If you're okay, I'll hang up. β
"Wait a minute, there's one last word. β
"What?"
"Nain, thank you for talking to me, I always feel that the night is not so cold. β
β...... A sucker. Naine Hinata hung up the phone.
Called "stupid" twice, why?
Looking at the phone interface where the sound waves had disappeared, Li Mengxi asked himself suspiciously. At that moment, a gust of evening breeze swept through his body.
"Hey, I think I'd better make a fire. With that, he stood up and walked down the low steps.
......
Why can that guy say such a sensual thing so casually every time!
In the hallway, Hinata Naon was angry in her heart. But the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.
Maybe Li Mengxi has already sensed his intentions, but if that's the case, why doesn't he confess to himself?
Or is there not enough signal from here?
"Smack!" Suddenly, Naine Hinata slapped her cheeks with both hands, knocking peach-colored thoughts out of her mind.
Now is not the time to want to have children!
Rebuking herself like this, she took a few deep breaths, and only after her mind returned to her usual state did she turn around and walk into Adele's room.
Adele, who noticed her, closed the book and smiled slightly and said, "Finished talking about the evening love with Mr. Li?"
Just this sentence made Hinata Nain immediately fall into a state of panic.
"This, this, this...... Besides, me and the guy haven't ...... yet Alas, don't play tricks on me!"
"Hee-hee! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I couldn't hold back for a while. After smiling and apologizing, Adele immediately put on a serious expression, "However, I think Naiyin is more serious about the relationship between you and Mr. Li." If you wait until you regret it, it's too late. Just like me. β
From Adele's words, Naine Hinata felt a sense of crisis in her face.
Adele liked, no, maybe still likes that Langdon Alain, but the two can't have any chance to be together.
In the face of this reality, Hinata Nain also had to be scared - will she and Li Mengxi become like this one day?
No! You can't shake like that! That guy is your own prince, and you will never hurt yourself! You must not hurt him!
With such determination, Hinata Naon showed a determined gaze.
"Don't worry, Adele. It's only me who will be there for him!"
"That's good. Adele pursed her lips and smiled, "By the way, it's still early anyway, why don't you play chess?"
"Okay. However, let's talk about it first, I'm very strong, don't cry if you lose in a row!"
"Hmph, I'm strong too. β
In this way, the two girls held the last event of the day.
......
At noon the next day, Haydn Laika and Bard Moore Valley, the two last targets of the murder, arrived at the "Twelveth Stream" along with five guards hired by the Hatsuba Morning News.
Their meeting with Adele Thomas marked the official launch of the Harbor Trap for Langdon Alain.
