Final Volume: Chapter 38
Lin Luoran pondered for a while, what Rod said is indeed reasonable, now is the active period of the monster, if he enters rashly, he may really be surrounded and suppressed, even if his strength has been fully recovered, it is inevitable that there will be a certain danger, thinking of this, Lin Luoran said: "Okay, let's stay here for a few more days, and then make a decision after this matter is clarified." ”
"Is this true? Great!" Chen Fan suddenly shouted excitedly when he heard Lin Luoran's words.
"What are you happy about?" Lin Luoran asked by squinting at Chen Fan.
"I ...... I'm just, nothing. Chen Fan smiled, in fact, Chen Fan didn't know what he was happy about, but when he heard that Lin Luoran was not in a hurry to leave, a sense of excitement arose.
"Anyway, Miss Lin Luoran, thank you very much for your understanding. Rhodes was very polite.
"Nope. Zhao Ling immediately interjected: "I'm going to trouble you here again, it's just that we're sorry." ”
Chen Fan said: "People are saying to Lin Luoran, what are you talking about?"
"I'm with Lin Luoran's sister, Lin Luoran wants to stay, of course I want to stay, so I should thank others. Zhao Ling said: "But you big pervert still don't know which side it is, and now you dare to talk about me, hum!"
"Zhao Ling, don't say any more, let's go back first. Lin Luoran glanced at Chen Fan and said to Zhao Ling: "It is his own freedom to choose how to choose." With that, Lin Luoran walked out without looking back.
Zhao Ling and Chen Hong also followed, although it was only for a second, but when Chen Fan saw Lin Luoran, he suddenly felt guilty in his heart, just like a child who failed the exam was afraid of being known by his parents.
Looking at Lin Luoran's back as he walked out of the door of the conference room, Chen Fan suddenly had the urge to catch up, but he still didn't do so.
"Brother Chen Fan. Rose came to Chen Fan's side and said, "Let's go too." ”
Rose's voice is heard. Chen Fan woke up immediately, he looked around, everyone else had already left, and only himself and Rose were left here.
Chen Fan nodded and replied, "Okay." Then he walked out with Rose.
Walking on the corridor on the fifth floor, Rose suddenly suggested: "Brother Chen Fan." You don't think you've visited Starlight City yet, why don't I take you for a walk?"
Chen Fan recalled that since he came here, except for the initial time when Rhodes mistakenly thought that his underworld sect members had looked outside when he was caught in, he had spent the rest of his time in Gangyang Tower, to be honest, what Xingyao City was like was really not much impression in Chen Fan's mind.
"Well, it's boring in the room anyway. Chen Fan bowed. Stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "Then please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to lead the way!"
Rose returned the salute, put her hand on Chen Fan's hand, and said, "The little girl was originally with her son. After that, the two held hands and walked out of Gangyang Tower.
It's the middle of November, which is supposed to be late autumn according to the season, and today the sun is shining but not dazzling, and the sky is blue. Spotlessly clean and crystal clear.
The surrounding trees are bare. The old tree stood gloomy, letting the brown moss hide the wrinkles on its body. The merciless autumn stripped off their beautiful clothes, and they had to stand there withered, even if the scenery was so lonely, but it could not stop the interest of the children, in the square in front of the gate of Gangyang Tower. It has become a children's world, and children chasing each other and playing are having fun, and laughter and laughter suddenly fill this vast space.
Not only children, but also the elderly, some of them playing chess. Some are walking, some are chatting, some are admiring the flowers, although they do different things from children, but the smiles on their faces are no different from those of children.
Chen Fan felt very comforted when he looked at this comfortable scene, and suddenly, Chen Fan had an idea, in fact, to make the world a better place, this wish is not out of reach, as long as everyone takes a step towards each other, they can regain the glory of the world.
Yes, although there are many strife and many misfortunes in this world, there is not a lot of comfort and a lot of happiness? Why do we have to destroy the world, why do we have to kill everyone so that the world will become beautiful? Isn't the present time beautiful?
"Brother Chen Fan. Rose knew Chen Fan's thoughts, hugged Chen Fan's right hand and said, "This is the world we want, a world without strife, a beautiful world." ”
Because Rose hugged it too tightly, she also put her chest on Chen Fan's arm, feeling the texture softer than cotton, Chen Fan immediately showed a lewd smile and said, "It's a wonderful world." ”
Although Rose knew that Chen Fan was happy because she had eaten her tofu, she didn't mind too much, in her opinion, she had already promised Chen Fan with her body, is this kind of thing worth caring?
The two of them were willing to eat like this, and the other was willing to be eaten, and they went south. Why go south? I'm sure they don't know, because they don't have a specific destination. Anyway, except for Gangyang Tower, Chen Fan has never been anywhere in Xingyao City, so it is the same wherever he goes.
"This is Haoyue Tower. Rose pointed to the mountain in front of her and said, "This is the same as the Celestial Star Tower, it is a residential area of the Mira family. ”
Chen Fan looked up along Rose's finger, and saw a twenty-story mountain towering in front of him, just in pairs with the mountain to the north, and the two big characters "Haoyue" were engraved on the mountain.
The buildings are all built around the mountain, and the corridors are like long dragons winding around the mountain, and there are many wooden huts on the towers in the mountains, and there are also many caves in the mountains, which should be used to live in people!
"Princess Rose, Lord Chen Fan!" At this moment, a man's voice came from behind him.
"Princess Rose, Lord Chen Fan!" At this moment, a man's voice came from behind the two.
Rose and Chen Fan immediately turned around and saw Rag walking over with four tall soldiers.
"Hello, General Rager. Chen Fan greeted Rag, and Rose bowed slightly to Rag.
"Are you guys here to pat the tow?" asked Rag, with a smile on his face, straight to the point.
The soldiers behind the "haha......" also laughed, not because they saw Chen Fan and Rose dragging their feet, but because General Rag was so shameless and asked such embarrassing things directly. That's why I think it's funny.
Hearing Rag say this, Chen Fan and Rose glanced at each other, and their faces turned red.
Seeing that Chen Fan and Rose were a little embarrassed, Rag immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing: "Ahem...... Sorry for the small faux pas. ”
"No, no, it's not a big deal. Chen Fan said, "This is what Rose asked me to tell you." ”
Rag smiled apologetically, "That's how straightforward I am. If you offend Princess Rose, please bear with me. ”
"Brother Rager, what if you offend us by speaking?"
"It's just that Brother Rag sometimes speaks a lot of self-esteem!"
"Princess Rose, I think it's better for you to be fierce with him, teach him a lesson!"
The soldiers behind Rag followed suit and made fun of Rag.
"You're going to be a bad guy!" Rag shouted, putting on a wicked face.
"Haha......" At this time, there was a burst of laughter loudly from everyone, and Chen Fan and Rose also laughed together.
"General Rag, you're usually quite serious. I didn't think you liked to joke around. Chen Fan said with a smile.
"Haha! Brother Chen Fan, you don't know anything. A short yellow soldier behind Rag said, "Actually, Brother Rag is only great when he's drunk!"
"Damn! Green, you stinky boy actually said bad things about Lao Tzu in front of Princess Rose and Master Chen Fan! It seems that I have to have a class with you alone!"
"I still don't want it, the little one still wants to die. ”
"What is a class?" Chen Fan asked puzzled.
Another soldier whispered to Chen Fan: "Just ask this big wine bag to drink all night." ”
"Flutter!" Chen Fan and Rose couldn't help but laugh again.
"Okay, Princess Rose, Lord Chen Fan, I won't tell you. We're still going to patrol, let's go first. Rag bowed down and said goodbye to Chen Fan and Rose. Then he walked away with four soldiers.
The two looked at the back of Rag as they left, and heard Rag's voice again: "Each of you just made fun of me together, I'll make an exception tonight, let's go to class with all of you at once, remember not to run away after work......!"
"Na...... Spare the villain, Master Rager!" the soldiers screamed in unison.
"Hee-hee...... I can't imagine that General Rag has such a side. Rose said to Chen Fan.
"Rose. Don't you know that you've lived here for so long?"
"Actually, I've been called a youkai since I was a child, and no one wants to see me, so I've been locking myself in my room and never going out and walking around like I am now. I haven't talked to anyone else. Rose said: "But because Brother Chen Fan moved all the people in the city, the people finally began to dare to face me, but still no one wanted to talk to me." ”
"This is your first time visiting Starlight City?"
"Hmm!" Rose nodded sadly, "I used to just look at the map my brother gave me and keep imagining the situation in the city in my room. ”
Seeing Rose's sad look, Chen Fan gently stroked Rose's soft purple head, and said with a smile: "Since you are the first time, and I am also the first time, then let's enjoy this first time together." ”
Looking at Chen Fan's gentle smile like a breeze, Rose's heart suddenly turned a warm current, no one had ever shown such a smile to herself before, and no one had ever said the warm words "enjoy together" to herself.
Rose felt the tenderness that Chen Fan gave her, the cold memories in her mind began to gradually dissolve, her body felt extremely warm, she smiled, and unconsciously leaned her head on Chen Fan's solid chest, like a cat taking a nap under the warm sun.
Chen Fan also knew Rose's thoughts through his thoughts, and he couldn't help but hug Rose's body, like a piece of clothing, which would protect her from the wind and rain.
The two hugged each other like this, and a cold autumn wind blew, but the two ignored this insignificant chill, because the two had already been moistened by each other's body temperature, just in the outer corridor on the fourth floor of Gangyang Building, Rod looked at this warm scene, and saw that his sister finally found someone who was sincere to her, and he felt extremely happy in his heart, and at the same time ushered in a trace of worry.
In the outer corridor on the third floor, there was also a person who saw this scene, but she didn't feel how warm the view was. Instead, a trace of inexplicable anger surfaced in his troubled heart.
"Sister Lin Luoran, I just said that I can't find you anywhere, it turns out that you are here, what are you looking at here?What is there to see here?" At this moment, Zhao Ling's voice came from behind him.
Lin Luoran turned around and walked over to Zhao Ling: "It's nothing, what are you looking for me?"
"I think the big pervert's injury should still need to be recuperated. So I wrote a prescription and wanted you to accompany me to find medicine. Zhao Ling smiled: "Besides, if you don't come out, I wouldn't have been able to find those medicinal materials like centipede intestines." ”
Lin Luoran glanced at the prescription in Zhao Ling's hand, and said coldly: "I'm not in the mood today, I want to go back to the room first." With that, he walked away without heading.
"What is Sister Lin Luoran doing today?" Zhao Ling looked at Lin Luoran's back, tilted her head and said to herself: "She is usually obligated to ask her to find medicine." ”
"Rose. Chen Fan said softly: "Let's continue to hold like this, the sun will go down soon, or let's continue to walk." ”
Rose also woke up from her warmth when she heard Chen Fan's words. He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, okay, let's continue shopping." ”
"So are we going to move on?"
"Oh no, it's about fifteen minutes to the south gate, I don't think there's anything to see, why don't we go to the north and see the Tianxing Tower." ”
"Hmm!" Chen Fan nodded in agreement. The two of them held hands and walked north.
In fact, the so-called Heavenly Star Tower is nothing more than a mountain located in the north of Xingyao City. After fifteen minutes of travel, the two of them also came to the front of the Heavenly Star Tower.
This mountain has the same feeling as Haoyue Tower, it is also a 20-story mountain towering on the flat ground, and there are also two big characters engraved on the mountain - Tianxing.
The building is basically the same as Haoyue Tower, which is built around the mountain, and the corridors are wrapped around the mountain. There are many small huts on the mountain, and many caves have been opened in the mountains.
"Rose. Chen Fan said, "Why do you Mira clan use Xingyao as a symbol?"
Rose explained: "Actually, this is similar to the belief in the goddess of the underworld, we believe in the stars, but the difference between us and them is that their goddess of the underworld is made up and used to rule people's hearts. ”
"And our star is there. Because of the replacement of the stars, life can be born on the earth, and all life is inseparable from the stars, so our Mira family has always taken the stars as our faith. ”
"I see. Chen Fan suddenly realized: "Then you ......"
"Princess Rose, Lord Chen Fan. Just when Chen Fan wanted to continue asking, a man shouted behind him.
Rose and Chen Fan immediately turned around, only to see a soldier rushing towards the two in a rage.
"This brother, what happened when he ran so fast?" Chen Fan hurriedly asked.
The soldier came to the two of them, half-crouched, panting sharply, and pointed to the north and said, "Go back...... Back to Lord Chen Fan, we found the corpses of Wuju in the forest outside the city. ”
"Corpses?!"
The soldier came to the two of them, half-crouched, panting sharply, and pointed to the north and said, "Go back...... Returning to Lord Chen Fan, I am a member of the patrol outside the city, and when we were patrolling outside the city, we found five extremely terrible corpses in the forest outside the city. ”
"Corpse?" Chen Fan and Rose were shocked when they heard this, and Chen Fan hurriedly asked, "Where is the corpse now?"
"Ahem...... Corpse...... The corpse was about five miles outside the northern city, and there were already other brothers guarding there, and we did not dare to move the corpse or clean up the scene, so as not to destroy the clues left at the crime scene. ”
"Now Princess Rose orders you to immediately inform Patriarch Rhodes and ask him to come and check it out for himself. Chen Fan translated Rose's words.
"The little one understands, and he will go right away. After the soldier finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards Gangyang Tower.
"Brother Chen Fan, we too. ”
"Hmm!" Chen Fan nodded, took Rose's hand and walked towards the north gate.
At the same time, Goode also led a group of people to the place where the deranged soldiers were now.
Ryle pointed to a small clearing in the grass and said, "Back to Lord Good, that's where we came to be a member of the Forest Scouting Team. ”
"Lord Good!" At this moment, a cry came from behind him.
"What's the matter?" asked Goode looking back.
I saw the soldier who came over with something similar to a report in his hand and presented it to Good, and said, "Back to Lord Good, you ordered your subordinates to find out the identity of the brother of the forest reconnaissance team, and now it has been found out." ”
Goode took the report. He muttered: "Nairgat, the leader of the sixth squad of the Forest Reconnaissance Team, has many years of experience in forest reconnaissance, has a calm and decisive personality, and is not surprised by changes. ”
In fact, there is not only so little written in the report, Goode is just extracting the key points to read.
"Forest Scouts Sixth Squad...... Team 6 ......" Goode repeated these two sentences.
"Lord Goode. Is there any clue?" asked Ryle, who was next to him.
"Ryle, let me ask you, do you know which forest area the sixth squad of the Forest Scout Team is responsible for detecting?"
Ryle pondered for a moment and said, "Back to Lord Good, it should be the area north of Starlight City. ”
"North of Shine City?" Goode was puzzled, "But this is the east, why does this person have to go around in a big circle and run from the north to the east? If there is danger, why don't you just run back to Shine City, isn't it safer?"
So said Goode. All the soldiers present looked at each other, not knowing for a moment how to answer Goode's question.
Goode looked at the report and thought for a moment, then continued, "Since this man is the forest scout team from the north, where did the other members go, and why was he the only one who could escape so far?"
"That's it...... Why is that?" began to be discussed by the other soldiers.
Goode groaned for a moment and ordered, "Anyway, let's search around here now and see what's there!"
"Yes!"
"Remember to be careful not to go too far alone. Because there can be something lurking here. ”
"My subordinates understand!" everyone responded, and immediately searched in all directions.
Goode muttered, "It seems that the north side is the point of the problem. ”
Chen Fan and Rose came to the north gate. The door was open, and there were three soldiers wearing large helmets and armor guarding the door, and when they saw Chen Fan and Rose coming, they immediately bowed and saluted: "Lord Chen Fan, Princess Rose." ”
Rose made a rude gesture, and Chen Fan said, "I heard that there is a corpse here." Where is the location?"
"Back to Lord Chen Fan, the body is five miles outside the city, and there are already six brothers guarding there. One of the shorter-looking soldiers said.
"Then you take us. Chen Fan said.
The three soldiers looked at Rose, then at each other, and the short soldier said, "Return to Lord Chen Fan." With Princess Rose, I'm afraid it's not very convenient. ”
Rose tilted her head and made a gesture asking "why".
"Back to Princess Rose, because the corpse is dead...... It's ......."
"Really?" Chen Fan said.
"The death of the corpse is really terrifying, and I am afraid that Princess Rose will faint when she sees it. ”
Chen Fan looked at Rose and said to Rose with thoughts: "He said like this, then are you still going? Why don't you wait here for me to come back?"
Rose shook her head and said, "With Brother Chen Fan here, I'm not afraid." ”
Chen Fan smiled and said to the soldiers: "Princess Rose said that she can bear it, you take us first." ”
"The subordinates understand. The shorter soldier walked ahead: "Then please two and the villain!"
Chen Fan and Rose followed the soldiers out of the city, and under the leadership of the soldiers, after twenty-five minutes of forest road, Chen Fan and Rose saw six soldiers sitting together not far in front of them, as if chatting, and they were also wearing large armor, so they couldn't see their true faces.
When the six people saw Rose and Chen Fan coming, they immediately stood up and bowed, and a soldier who was two heads taller than Chen Fan stepped forward, took off his big face, and his burly figure like a bear was revealed.
He said in a loud voice: "The villain is the chief captain of the patrol outside the city, Gna, who has been waiting here for a long time. ”
Chen Fan replied, "Lord Gna, I heard that there is a corpse near here, where is it?"
"Before you look at it, please be mentally prepared, because our brother was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he could barely stand up now. ”
Chen Fan nodded and said to Rose, "Rose, if you don't want to see it, don't force yourself." ”
Rose thought for a moment, still shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid." ”
"Alright, Lord Gna, please take us there. ”
Gerner turned and ripped the grass behind him. At this moment, the smell of blood rushed to Chen Fan's face with the flow of air, and what came into view was a disgusting picture like hell.
There was a sea of blood spread on the ground, the scope of the sea of blood was so large that it stretched out at least three meters away, and the grass around it was originally yellow and dyed blood red. It's not just on the ground. Even the surrounding tree trunks were covered with red paint, and all the way to the height of Chen Fan's eyes were all dyed red.
In the middle of the sea of blood, there were five broken corpses, there was not a single intact skin on their bodies, pink muscles, yellow fat and white bone fragments were mixed together, their stomachs seemed to have been blown open from the inside, from the chest to the navel from which a large hole was torn open, and the heart, liver, spleen and lungs seemed to have been crushed with a meat grinder. Then it was poured out, and the white field was like ribbons of color, decorating each corpse.
These torn corpses no longer have the concept of "face", the original position of the face is like a brilliant flower, like the shell of a boiled egg has been peeled open, leaving only dark red holes, and the pink and white brain pulp is like cream, coated on the eggshell.
Chen Fan looked at this disgusting and terrifying scene in amazement. The whole person froze in place, he couldn't believe that someone's death could be so terrifying. It's just the residue left after something has been eaten alive and eaten with your mouth.
Chen Fan immediately sweated profusely, his heart was beating, and he tried his best to think of many questions in his mind: Who did this? Who would do this? Why should I do it? By what means, with what mood, and what benefits would it do to him...... However, these problems arise. It's not because Chen Fan wants to solve these problems quickly, but he tries his best to divert his attention.
Chen Fan wanted to move his feet, wanted to turn his head away, wanted to get out of here, but the joints of his whole body seemed to be as stiff as stones. Not to mention moving, it's impossible to even bend it.
Fear was like a lump of pitch-black cloth, firmly wrapping Chen Fan's heart, and Chen Fan suddenly had an illusion, as if he would become one of them in the next second.
"Ahh
Chen Fan only came back from fear at this time, and at the moment of coming back to his senses, it was as if he had inserted his finger into his throat, and a feeling of vomiting came up from his stomach, Chen Fan reflexively covered his mouth tightly with both hands, but the feeling of vomiting still lingered.
"Lord Chen Fan, Princess Rose, are you all right?" Seeing that Chen Fan's face was pale, Gna immediately blocked Chen Fan's eyes with a tent made of leaves and grass, and the hell disappeared in front of Chen Fan's eyes in an instant, and the mental tension just now was immediately relieved, and then his legs weakened, and the whole person sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Rose also fell into Chen Fan's arms because of Chen Fan's fall, but she still pressed her face tightly against Chen Fan's chest, maybe this blow was really too big for Rose.
After a few minutes of panting, Chen Fan's vomiting feeling was finally calmed down, and his spirit slowly recovered, and he was like a frightened kitten, shrinking into his arms and trembling, so he gently touched her head with his hand, and said with thought: "Rose, don't be afraid, it's okay now." ”
"Okay, so terrible, Brother Chen Fan, they, why did they die so miserably, who made them like this?"
"I don't know, but judging by their deaths, they may be monsters. Chen Fan said: "At least in my opinion, no one in the world would do such a thing." ”
"Lord Chen Fan, Princess Rose, are you all right?" Seeing that Chen Fan didn't answer himself for a long time, and seeing Rose's whole body trembling, he was also worried about these two people, because when they showed these things, their reaction was also very strong, Chen Fan was a man after all, and his psychology should be bearable, but it might be too difficult for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to look at these things on the spot.
Chen Fan helped Rose to stand up and said to Gna: "Lord Gna, I'm really sorry, this scene is too shocking, I originally came to help collect some evidence, but looking at Rose and my current situation, it may not work." ”
Gna said modestly: "Lord Chen Fan doesn't need to take it to heart, just saw that Lord Chen Fan can stare at these things for ten seconds, it has already proved that Lord Chen Fan has extraordinary courage, if you feel uncomfortable, then please Lord Chen Fan take Princess Rose back first." ”
"Click...... ......At this moment, from behind everyone, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves from far and near. (To be continued......)
