Chapter Twenty-Five: Mr. X
"Baby girl, come and help me." Li Juan tried her best to squeeze out a kind smile on her face, but the skin on her face was as black as charcoal, and she felt terrible no matter how she laughed.
"Okay." Li Jing seemed defenseless, walked to Li Juan's side in two steps, lowered her head, and prepared to hold Li Juan's arm.
This is your chance!
Li Juan's original smile disappeared in an instant, her mouth cracked, and she was ready to bite down!
She wants to borrow Li Jing's body and return her soul! Only the inheritance from the bloodline can carry out such an anti-heaven spiritual technique!
And the so-called baby daughter is just a baby chip that she can resurrect!
But when Li Juan succeeded, she only felt that her abdomen was pressed against something metallic, and when she raised her head, she was imprinted with a face full of sadism.
"Surprised? My dear mother. The corners of Li Jing's mouth curled slightly, "Do you think I really don't know what you really think?" ”
"What do you say? My baby girl. Li Juan smiled, but she was crazy and uneasy in her heart! Li Jing's attitude is too weird! Does she really know something?!
"Mother, when you showed up to me tonight, I knew that you were the same as you were so many years ago, and you were still so selfish." When the last word was spoken, Li Jing pressed the trigger without hesitation!
Boom!
The Nighthawk "Tomahawk" short-barreled shotgun erupted into a fierce roar, and this blow completely buried Li Juan's last glimmer of hope!
After the spirit flickered for two seconds, Li Juan's eyes widened, and her face dissipated in front of Li Jing's eyes little by little with reluctance.
Looking at the spirit crumbs as dazzling as snowflakes, with a click, Li Jing casually threw away the gun in his hand, found a broken stone and sat quietly on it, as if thinking about something.
Or someone waiting.
After a while, Li Jing suddenly asked coldly, "Are you satisfied?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a man in a black windbreaker suddenly appeared behind Li Jing, and the space storm intertwined back and forth seemed to have no effect on this man at all, allowing him to turn to Li Jing step by step.
"Yes, I'm satisfied."
Li Jing looked up at the man in front of her, she remembered this voice, that night many years ago, it was he who spoke in her ear about today's plan, like a demon's whisper.
"Demons." Li Jing said softly.
The man smiled slightly, his voice was very good, as if it had been polished with pine wax, gentle and silky, and faintly with an indescribable fragrance.
It's as if his voice can be heard and touched.
"But you did it anyway, didn't you?"
Li Jing opened her mouth to refute something, but in the end she lowered her head and nodded imperceptibly.
"You were going to take it, weren't you?" The man didn't seem to notice Li Jing's performance, and still said to himself, "But it was also that day, you told me that you wanted to refuse, you wanted to choose your own destiny, Li Jing, this is growth." ”
"But," Li Jing looked at the messy Lijia Village around him, the unfathomable spatial rift, and said a little confused, "But I really don't know if all this is worth it." ”
"It's like a bottle of water, for a child in the city, it's just an insignificant thing, but for a trekker in the desert, it's the rebirth of life, it's worth it or not, it depends on your cognition," the man squatted down lightly and touched Li Jing's stiff hair, "Li Jing, now do you think it's all worth it?" ”
Li Jing squinted, and after a long while, she raised her head and looked into the man's eyes, "I'll join." ”
"Okay, from now on, you won't call Li Jing anymore, just call it," the man smiled slightly, paused for a moment, and continued, "Ms. R." ”
"Ms. R," Li Jing asked rhetorically after chewing twice, "Now I can ask something." ”
"Of course, ma'am."
Li Jing stared closely into the man's eyes, trying to see a clue in his eyes, but it was clear that she had failed.
"Who are you? What kind of organization are we? What am I going to do? What do I get? ”
The man seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said unhurriedly, "I'm Mr. X, first of all, we are not an organization, just a party. ”
"Party?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, this was a little different from what she thought.
"Yes, the party," the man didn't mind Li Jing's gaffe, and continued to say gently, "just like a common party, we trade our needs at the meeting, exchange ideals and beliefs, and gradually become what we want. ”
"What do we want?" Li Jing unconsciously repeated it.
"Yes," Mr. X nodded approvingly, "as for what you're going to do, like I said, take what you need at the party." ”
"Sounds great, but what's the name of our party?" Li Jing stared at Mr. X and asked.
"It's called, the Old Secret Society." The man smiled and handed Li Jing a wooden sign covered with golden patterns.
If Lin Chen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, this wooden plaque was exactly the same as the one he got from Mr. Hu! It's just a little different that there is a small R in the upper right corner of the wooden card in Li Jing's hand.
"Let's go." After Li Jingmo tapped the wooden card twice, he put it away and stood up.
"Well, so be it, as the first friend to come into contact with you," Mr. X glanced at Li Jing's empty right side, "I can reattach your right arm." ”
"No need," Li Jing did not hesitate at all, decisively rejected Mr. X's proposal, and then said in a slightly complicated tone, "Let it remind me all the time, don't forget the past." ”
"You're strong."
"Thanks for the compliment."
The man didn't force it, but just waved it casually, only to see that the originally dark and lightless space fault in front of him was first distorted, and then a bronze ancient door covered with patina appeared in an instant.
The bronze gate was carved with countless strange patterns that were difficult to describe in words, and Li Jing felt dizzy just by looking at it.
Mr. X turned sideways, put his right hand across his chest, bent down slightly, and made a gesture of please, "Ladies first." ”
Li Jing nodded, took a step forward and stood still, after taking a deep breath, Li Jing slowly stretched out his left hand, held the door handle, and without the slightest hesitation, pushed forward.
With an eerie creak.
The door opened.
