Chapter 8: The Messenger of Hades
Alas, it feels so good to be down-to-earth.
Xia Na moved her neck left and right, stretched her waist, and smoothed her collar unhurriedly, then nodded to the man who had changed his face with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you today, but I think there must be a lot of ...... in the prison who are willing to accompany you" She looked left and right, and grabbed a candle from the table next to her and stuffed it into his hand, "Use this for the time being, no one sells soap in the restaurant." ”
The young couple who was enjoying a candlelit dinner next to them made a gesture of "if you're happy" to Xana, who apologized to them.
After saying goodbye to He Bi, Xia Na returned to the car and said to Yu Lingzhi with a smile: "Brother Lingzhi, you said it's fun, it's not fun, get drunk and find someone to harass you, as for using demon power, I didn't dare to fight back when I was caught by you." ”
"I'm afraid who is too idle. Yu Lingzhi responded casually in his mouth, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
Nana's circle is very simple, and she rarely deliberately offends anyone, besides, no matter how embarrassing her identity is in the Xia family, after all, she is a direct descendant of the Xia family, and few people will risk offending the Xia family to provoke her. This bear clan is obviously coming for Nana, what is his purpose? Is it just to block Nana?
Xia Na's mind was not on the bear clan, and a wonderful thought now appeared in her little head - if He Bi really has the strength to match his ambitions, Xia Rao and He Bi are simply a natural couple, but at that time, she is the vicious female partner who robbed her sister of a man in the background board, so, as a vicious female partner, should she find a way to stir up this possible marriage?
The brilliant road light strips reflect the night more colorful than the day, and the cars come and go at a fast speed.
“...... Since the first appearance of the demon race in human society in 2021, by 2213, human society finally put aside its prejudices and accepted the addition of the demon race, and human society has entered a new development process. Some scholars say that human recognition and acceptance of the existence of the demon race is a great progress in society, and this progress is no less than ......"
The car was babbling about the history of the human and demon races in the news, and Xiana was drowsy when she heard it.
“...... It is reported that this is the first time that human beings have made substantial contact with the underworld......"
Suddenly, a sentence provoked Xia Na's spirit, sat up straight and asked, "Where did you just talk about it, human beings have made substantial contact with the underworld?"
In recent years, human beings have gradually recognized and accepted the existence of this special nature of the underworld, and occasionally some people claim to have come into contact with the ghosts of the underworld, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove it. Therefore, there are still some people who firmly refuse to believe that there is a place in the underworld that deals with the afterlife of human beings.
"It is said that an emissary from the underworld has come in the hope of establishing some kind of connection with the mortal world. Yu Lingzhi said in his mouth, his brows were slowly furrowed.
Messenger of Hades? I don't know how many years of rumors about the underworld, and when the topic of the underworld was the hottest a few years ago, it was not that no one pretended to be a ghost, but in the end they were all debunked one by one. Now that someone has brought up this matter again, and they attach so much importance to it, is there really something strange?
"Eh, wait, something flashed out there?"
Xana lowered the window and tried to look out, but there was nothing to see outside but the bright lights.
Yu Lingzhi didn't care, and said casually: "Maybe it's some kind of nocturnal demon clan." ”
"No, it's very small, have you ever heard that fireflies can become demons?" Xana was sure that what she saw was a blue ball of light, and the core would never exceed her thumb.
"Maybe it's someone's pet, or a monk's magic weapon. Reishi said and glanced out the window, but saw nothing.
Who would keep fireflies as pets? Xana scratched her head, looked out the window again, saw nothing but the lights, and simply yawned and raised the window to stop looking.
When she got home, she had to deal with the interrogation of Xia Rao and her mother, but she didn't expect that the two of them were not at home for some reason. Well, it's okay if she's not at home, she's quiet.
After washing, she went to the foodie forum as usual, but for some reason today's forum was quiet, and those eaters were as quiet as chickens, and there was no sign of coming out to ridicule.
Forget it, you can only turn off the lights and sleep.
Turn off the lights, and the surroundings are suddenly wrapped in darkness. In today's society, the places where you can enjoy quiet and dark nights are in the wilderness, which is also in these mansions.
“...... Na, Xana...... Xana ......"
Who the hell is this! Xana jerked over from the bed and jumped down. She was in a daze and half-asleep when she heard a fluttering voice calling out to her. What the hell, could it be that the Xia family has declined, and even demons and monsters dare to run into the main mansion to harass her.
Taking a deep breath to lift her spirits, Xana glanced around cautiously as she reached for the bedside cabinet.
Outside the window, a blue light swayed up and down, the same one she saw on the way home.
"You're finally awake, hurry up and open the window and let me in. ”
The sound of speaking came from that ball of light.
Xana pouted, who are you, as if we know each other well, why should I let you in.
"Hey, are you damned girl, hurry up and open the window, or the guards here will find me in a moment!" the ball of light swayed up and down rapidly.
"Who are you? Don't you know how to introduce yourself before talking to someone?" for some reason, Xana always felt that the light ball was a little strangely familiar, and it didn't make her hostile in the slightest.
"You...... You don't know who I am?" the ball of light stopped, then suddenly fell, clattering onto Xana's windowsill.
That's weird, should I know you?" Xana tried to remember, but even if she pushed her memory back to the age of three, she didn't remember knowing such a group of light at all.
"No matter, you open the window first and let me in, the guards will be coming soon!"
Looking at the flickering ball of light, Xana bit her lip and reached out to open the window a slit.
The light flashed in immediately, and the room that had never been lit was suddenly filled with a faint blue light.
At this moment, Xana finally saw the light clearly.
It's better to say it's a light group, but it's better to say it's jewelry. This thing was no more than the size of a thumb, emitting a faint blue light, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be a piece of lute carved from crystal clear jade.
"You...... Know me?" Xana lay on the edge of the bed and looked at the little jade lute, always feeling that this thing was really weird and familiar.
