readx;? Tonight's Red Flower Inn is still dark and silent, just like yesterday. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If it weren't for Lu Yifan's clear memory of visiting Mrs. Zhao, the lord of Acacia Forest today, I'm afraid that he would also inadvertently confuse the difference between yesterday and today, and even blur the concept of time, after all, in Night City, a place full of weirdness, time is not important, because every day is almost no different.

The old shopkeeper of the Red Flower Inn still wanders on the first floor of the inn like a ghost, and the dark first floor is filled with a strange smell of rotten wood, so that people can't help but think of this strange old shopkeeper when they smell it. The guys at the inn are still busy in an orderly manner, but the few rooms vacated this morning are full again in the evening, so it is not difficult to see that although Night City is located in the North Ridge, there are actually many traders and tourists who come and go here every day. It's no wonder, after all, the Sanctuary is so big that there are hundreds of millions of living beings, with such a huge base, what is this little outsider in Night City?

"Yifan, do you feel that today seems to be unusually tired?" Xie Yun was already a little sleepy at the moment, and that sleepy look was as if he hadn't closed his eyes after being busy for several days and nights, this kind of strange thing was rare in Xie Yun's body. At the moment, he yawned and writhed his body, as if trying to refresh himself.

"It's a little tired, but not as tired as you!" Lu Yifan looked at Xie Yun suspiciously, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that he has been running too much in the past few months, so that his body can't help but become lazy as soon as he stops?"

Lu Yifan's speculation is not surprising, because everyone actually has such a state. And the most important thing is that it has been several hours since they came back from Acacia Forest, if someone had been drugged in Acacia Forest, it would have had a seizure a long time ago, at least Lu Yifan had never heard of any drug that would make people last for several hours before it took effect. Therefore, at this moment, he didn't think of the problem on Mrs. Zhao and her lovesick tea. What's more, Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao don't feel anything unusual at the moment, except for a little fatigue in their bodies, at least they are in good spirits.

"I can't say it either......" Without waiting for Xie Yun to finish speaking, he looked up to the sky and stretched his waist again, and then glanced at Lu Yifan bitterly, then walked to the side of the bed, leaned on the side of the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, "Maybe what you said is right......"

Seeing Xie Yun's drowsy appearance, Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was a look of doubt in their eyes.

"Xie Yun has always been with us, eating and drinking is no different from us, if he is drugged, then we should also react, why is he the only one so sleepy now?" Liu Sandao sat at the table and said to Lu Yifan with puzzlement.

"I didn't sleep, I just closed my eyes and rested, you continue to discuss when to leave, I can hear you!" Xie Yun squinted his eyes and said lazily, while his cloud-piercing spear was leaning on the side of the bed at the moment, and the cold tip of the spear was exuding a cold aura under the reflection of the faint candle flame.

Since they set off from Jinling City, the mountains are high and the road is far away, just in case, Lu Yifan and the three of them are almost inseparable from their swords, and even when they are sleeping, they will keep their blades by their side in case of emergency.

"Just now Yin Xi sent someone back to spread the word, and persuaded to use the medicinal materials sent by Mrs. Zhao, the brothers' evil diseases have been much better, and I will rest for the night tonight, I think I should be able to leave tomorrow!" Liu Sandao said with a chuckle, and as he spoke, he also picked up the teacup on the table and took a big sip, after drinking, he couldn't help but look at the two lonely tea leaves in the teacup, and said jokingly, "Since I drank Mrs. Zhao's acacia tea, I found that these tea leaves in the inn really have no taste at all!"

"If you like that acacia tea, why don't you go to Acacia Lin and ask Mrs. Zhao for some when you leave tomorrow!" Lu Yifan laughed softly, "But speaking of this Mrs. Zhao is really a little unpredictable, and she invited us to drink tea and gave us medicine, could it be that she really just acted out of kindness?"

"I don't think so!" Liu Sandao said with a sneer, as soon as he mentioned Mrs. Zhao, his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disdain, "This woman is definitely not as simple as we think, there must be a group of heroes standing side by side in the huge North Ridge, and although she has some cultivation, but I think it is only five or six turns of the soul, although it is good, but if you want to dominate the North Ridge, it is still a little insufficient, not to mention that she is only a woman, what ability does she have to control this night city?"

"Just now you were still thinking about other people's tea, but now you are talking about other people, are you considered to be inconsistent?" Xie Yun quipped in a daze.

"I'm not inconsistent, I'm cautious!hehe......" Liu Sandao smiled and subconsciously put half a cup of tea in the cup into his mouth, and when the tea just entered, he spit it out with a "poof", and then scolded with a bitter face, "It's really fucking unpalatable......"

"Haha......" Seeing Liu Sandao's expression, Lu Yifan and Xie Yun couldn't help laughing.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a slight sound suddenly sounded outside the door, and almost instantly, Lu Yifan and the three of them put away the smile on their faces at the same time, and replaced it with a cautious look. Even Xie Yun, who was about to fall asleep, sat up straight all of a sudden, and subconsciously held the cloud-piercing spear beside the bed in his hand with his right hand, and a pair of sleepy eyes instantly became shrewd.

"Whew!" Lu Yifan suddenly blew out the candle, and through the paper window on the door, a sneaky black shadow suddenly appeared, which made Lu Yifan and the three of them even more sure that this uninvited guest was coming for the three of them.

Liu Sandao held the moon slashing knife in his hand, a pair of bright eyes stared closely at the black shadow outside the door, stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips bloodthirstily, and the corners of his mouth raised a trace of a cruel smile, and at the same time, with a slight sound, the long knife with a flickering cold light was also quietly pulled out of the scabbard by him.

The dark shadow outside the door seemed to realize something, and at this moment it was committed to standing motionless outside the door, as if it was cautiously listening to the movements of a few people in the room.

In this way, there was silence inside and outside the door for a while, and at this moment, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground would cause an uproar.

Liu Sandao's long knife was out of its sheath, and he turned his head faintly and looked at Lu Yifan on the side, with a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

Lu Yifan frowned and thought for a moment, then he reached out and gently pressed the long knife held high by Liu Sandao, and then stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, signaling Liu Sandao to grasp the work.

Liu Sandao tapped his head lightly, and then moved under his feet, and his entire body suddenly burst out like a gust of black wind, and at the same time, Lu Yifan also got up and chased after him instantly.

"Bang!"

"Ah...... Uh-huh......"

With the sound of the door being suddenly opened, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from outside the door, and before the woman could exclaim, Liu Sandao's big hand had already covered her mouth and nose, making it difficult for her to make a sound anymore, and then Liu Sandao dragged the woman into the room like a chick, and Lu Yifan, who followed closely, poked his head out and carefully looked left and right in the corridor of the inn, and only after finding nothing unusual did he quickly dodge back to the room and close the door tightly.

At this moment, Xie Yun also re-lit the candle flame and stepped forward, and when the candle flame illuminated the woman's face, Lu Yifan and the three of them were stunned, because this person was the little female thief they had caught last night.

"It's you again?" Lu Yifan said with a surprised face, "You didn't succeed last night, could it be that you came to steal things again tonight?"

"Hehe, it is said that people are good and are bullied, I think this little girl is ready to eat us. If you don't teach us a hard lesson today, she really treats us as good people!" Liu Sandao sneered and shook the long knife in his hand, and said to the little girl with a playful face, "You choose for yourself, do you want me to cut off one of your arms? Or one leg? Of course, if you like it, I can also cut it off for you generously!"

Hearing Liu Sandao's words, and seeing Liu Sandao's smiling face, this little girl was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and her little face became extremely pale for a while.

"Hey...... Don't worry, I will be very gentle, the knife in my hand is just a blink of an eye, I guarantee that you will pass before you feel the pain!" Liu Sandao seemed to be very interested in teasing this little girl, and the evil smile on his face became more and more intense, and even Lu Yifan couldn't stand it anymore with that extremely bad look.

"Okay, okay, don't scare her!" Lu Yifan pushed Liu Sandao away in front of the little girl, then leaned over and squatted down, looked at the little girl who was sitting on the ground with a puzzled face, and said softly, "If you want money, I'll give you some, it's not fun to be a thief......"

"I ...... I'm not a thief......" Finally, the little girl held back the fear in her heart and spoke timidly, her voice was as immature and thin as her appearance, and this was the first time she spoke in front of Lu Yifan.

"You're not a thief, so what are you doing sneakily running outside our door three times or twice?" Xie Yun put the candlestick on the table, and he sat back on the edge of the bed again.

"I ...... I'm here to find ...... Look for...... Looking for ......" The little girl stared at a pair of black eyes, looked at Lu Yifan and the three of them repeatedly, and said several words 'find' in her mouth, and finally stretched out her little hand to point at Lu Yifan, and said with a firm face, "Looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Even Lu Yifan himself was blinded at this time, and he had never known such a little girl in his memory.

"I said Yifan, this is your mistake, Miss Han has only been separated from you for a long time, you can't help but find other little girls......" Liu Sandao slowly withdrew the long knife into the sheath, laughing and teasing Lu Yifan.

"Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Yifan looked at the little girl blankly, "Are you looking for me?"

"You...... Your surname is Lu!, right?" The little girl said timidly, her eyes were no longer as frightened as they were just now, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes when she looked at Lu Yifan.

"How do you know?" Lu Yifan asked again.

"Look!" The little girl took out a brocade money bag from her waist as she spoke, and embroidered the word 'Lu' on top of the money bag, which was Lu Yifan's money bag.

"Yifan, you are too careless, just play well, how can the money bag fall in that kind of place? Now someone has come to the door......" Liu Sandao joked again, but before he finished speaking, he was stubbornly blocked back by Lu Yifan's eyes that were about to kill, and in the end he could only laugh and dare not talk nonsense.

"This money bag ......" Lu Yifan frowned slightly as he recalled the events of the past two days, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "This money bag was given to a begging woman before I entered the city, why is the money bag in your hands today? You and that woman are ......?"

"This is really the child's money bag, fortunately Ah Chang didn't recognize the wrong person! Engong is above, please accept Ah Chang's worship!" After that, the little girl named Ah Chang suddenly got up and kowtowed respectfully to Lu Yifan, which made the confused Lu Yifan hurriedly help her up, for this kind of inexplicable repayment, Lu Yifan did not dare to take it easily.

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Sandao was also completely confused at the moment, he first looked at Ah Chang, and then at Lu Yifan, and couldn't help asking, "Yifan, when did you become this little girl's father?"

Regarding Liu Sandao's doubts, Lu Yifan could only smile bitterly and shake his head again and again.

"Who are you ......?"

"I can't hide it, the begging woman who gave Childe that day is my mother!" Ah Chang said excitedly, "When I learned about Childe's generosity, I have been looking for an opportunity to thank Childe for his kindness, I know that Childe is from outside, and he must stay in this Red Flower Inn at night, so I ......"

"Shhhh

"Just now, the shopkeeper heard some movement, dare to ask the guest officer if he knows what is going on?" The man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"I don't know, we didn't hear any movement!" Liu Sandao said in a cold voice, "It's getting late, we want to rest early, go back and tell you shopkeeper, don't always come to ask questions about anything, if it disturbs my master's rest, I will demolish your inn!"

"Excuse me, little one, step aside!" the man respectfully agreed, and then he stood quietly outside the door for a moment before quietly leaving.

After making sure that there was no longer anyone outside, Lu Yifan signaled that Ah Chang could continue to speak: "I'm just a gesture, and it's not a kindness, so Ah Chang, you don't have to take it to heart! And I see that your mother is a little crazy, so leave the money for you to hire a man for her!" With that, Lu Yifan also took out some silver shells from the baggage and handed them to Ah Chang.

Although Ah Chang repeatedly refused, he could not resist Lu Yifan's insistence, so he could only hold these silver shells in his hands. Ah Chang looked at the silver shells in his hand, and somehow his eyes turned red for no reason, and then two lines of crystal tears slid down her dirty face.

"Ah Chang, what are you doing here?" asked Liu Sandao puzzled.

"Don't hide it from my son, my mother and I have been for a long time...... It's been a long time since anyone has given money to anyone...... Everyone inside and outside the night city thinks my mother is crazy, and we can only pick up what others throw away every day to survive, but we don't want to ...... today Today......" Ah Chang's words couldn't be said any longer, and his little face became a little more contaminated with tears.

"Who in the world doesn't have difficulties? I'm just doing it easily, Ah Chang, you don't have to be like this!" Lu Yifan couldn't help but sigh.

"There's something I'm curious about!" Liu Sandao suddenly asked Xiang Chang, "Since you are here to thank Lu Gongzi, why do you still sneakily hide outside the door and knock on the door directly?"

"Of course it's not good!" Before Liu Sandao finished speaking, Ah Chang said abruptly, "Everyone in Night City doesn't want me to come into contact with you outsiders......

"Why?"

"Because...... Because they are worried that my mother and I will ruin their good deeds......" Ah Chang said with a sad face, "My mother and I don't want to be nosy, we just want to live, if it weren't for the kindness of my son, I would never have come here......"

"Their good deeds? You and your mother don't want to meddle in their affairs?" Lu Yifan repeated these words with a confused expression, "What do you mean by this? Since you don't want to come into contact with us outsiders, then why do you insist on coming to me? You said that coming to me might ruin their good deeds, what is it? Who are they talking about?"

"I ...... I...... The reason why I came to Childe is to repay Childe's kindness, and a kind-hearted person like Childe should not be subject to the calamity of the 'Night Sacrifice'......" Ah Chang's words came to an abrupt end, and it was obvious that she didn't know whether she should say all this or not.

"Night Sacrifice, what is Night Sacrifice?" Lu Yifan seemed to hear a hint of clues, and hurriedly asked, "Why do we suffer from the disaster of Night Sacrifice, and what will this disaster be?"

"Night Festival...... Night Festival...... The night sacrifice is to kill the child, and then dig out the lungs for people to enjoy......"

"Hiss!" As soon as Ah Chang said this, Lu Yifan and Liu Sandao gasped at the same time, and their faces were filled with disbelief and shock.

"How do you know what kind of night sacrifice we will be sent to?" Liu Sandao asked with a cold face, "Then how did you save us as a little girl?"

"Saved!" Ah Chang nodded again and again with a pair of big watery eyes, "As long as I paint off the red flower mark on the door number of Childe's guest room! The selected sacrifice door plate has a red flower mark, as long as there is no red flower mark, it will be fine! Last night I saw that Childe's door number did not have a red flower, so I fled in a hurry, the reason why I didn't run away tonight is because I want to help Childe erase the red flower mark! As long as the red flower is painted, Childe will leave the night city tomorrow morning and there will be no trouble......

"Red Flower Mark, Night Sacrifice?Sacrifice?" Liu Sandao quickly calculated all this in his mind, and he understood everything in an instant, "The sacrifices of the Night Sacrifice turned out to be all of us outsiders who lived in the Red Flower Inn, and now I finally understand why those who lived in the room with the Red Flower Mark disappeared early in the morning, it turned out that they were all sent as sacrifices, and their hearts were cut out!******, Lao Tzu will kill the shopkeeper here now, and dig out his heart to see if it is black!"

"Brother Liu, slow down!" Lu Yifan suddenly stopped Liu Sandao, and then he looked at Ah Chang with a solemn look in his eyes, and asked word by word, "Now I am more concerned about the heart and lungs that you just said will be dug out for people to enjoy, who is it for people to enjoy?"

"Yes......" Ah Chang seemed to be very afraid to mention this name, his little face was extremely pale at the moment, and even his lips were pale and bloodless.

"Who is it?" Lu Yifan asked in a condensed voice again.

"Yes...... It's Acacia's...... Mrs. Zhao ......"

"Whoosh!"

At the moment when Ah Chang's words fell, Xie Yun, who was originally leaning on the side of the bed and fell asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, but at this moment, his eyes were blood-red. The most terrifying thing is that after waking up, Xie Yun didn't hesitate at all, and suddenly lifted the cloud-piercing spear standing on one side, and the soul power in his body surged, mixed with a piercing sound of breaking the sky, and the spear roared like a poisonous snake as fast as lightning, stabbing straight into Ah Chang's heart!

At the same time, Xie Yun's mouth also let out a heartbroken laugh.

"You all have to die, tonight
