Chapter 42: Awakening

Li Qianchen finally woke up, and he had a long dream.

In my dream, the sky was blood-colored, full of broken walls, high-rise buildings in ruins, black smoke billowing out, and dead bodies everywhere.

The dream was too real, he felt the heat of the scorched earth, he smelled the stench of burnt corpses, he didn't know where he was, the only thing he was familiar with was the Shura blade in his hand.

Whether it was on earth or hell, he couldn't tell where, but he remembered to look for Yi XVII.

From the city to the wilderness, there is not a breath of life.

He kept moving forward like this, and it was the belief in finding Yi Seventeen that supported him to keep going.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Twenty days."

Looking around, it was a strange place, but when he saw Yi Seventeen, he was at ease, he thought that he couldn't find Yi Seventeen, but fortunately, it was right next to him.

Yi Seventeen held Li Qianchen's hand tightly, and there was a wonderful feeling of being lost and regained, he was ready to go to find Hundred Devils Crying, but fortunately, Li Qianchen finally woke up.

"Where is this? Seems familiar, have we been here before? ”

"We are at Xiaobai's house, he has just left, I will call him."

Yi Qiqi was about to get up, but Li Qianchen grabbed his hand, shook his head slightly, and said, "During this time, you must have worked very hard." ”

Being deceived, besieged, tormented in apprehension, anxiety, fear, expectation and fear of disappointment, Yi Seventeen had red circles in his eyes, and all the grievances were resolved at this moment.

"As long as you're safe and sound, it's nothing."

Looking at poor Yi Seventeen, Li Qianchen couldn't bear it, he raised his hand to caress the top of Yi Seventeen's head, and said gently: "It's okay, with me, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Starting from the nine quinoa turned into Li Qianchen, the parents of the sheep horn made a fuss, the fake An Linyou was admitted to the hospital, Qiu Ci disappeared, An Linyou died, the fake Li Qianchen appeared, the wind and snow and the moon were surrounded, Si Ye was seriously injured Jiu Quinoa, and the Confucius Temple Qilingjun was not instrumental......

Yi Seventeen spoke very slowly, his tone was very gentle, but the danger was heard by Li Qianchen frowned frequently, he didn't expect that Yi Seventeen would encounter so many things when he was unconscious, and he was in danger several times, which made him feel guilty and boundless anger at the same time.

"After I found you, Su Chan said that only Hundred Devil May Cry can wake you up, so I took you and Jun Buqi here, after the smoke control left wind sent a drop of Hundred Devil May Cry, you still didn't wake up, I was going to find Hundred Devil May Cry in person, but I didn't expect Su Chan to let the paper man send two drops of Hundred Devil May Cry, he must be attracting them now."

Li Qianchen nodded, but there were a few questions in his heart, why did Jiu Quinoa approach Yi Seventeen? What are the intentions? Why did Si Ye insist on taking Yi Seventeen away? Why did Mr. Bai give the sacristy to Yi XVII? Where is An Linyou's body now? Why does the smoke fly to Su Chan's orders? Why did the two saints come in person and did not do it for a long time?

All the doubts are like a clueless mess, but they are vaguely related, Li Qianchen has a feeling of being in a fog, whether all these things are just what they see on the surface, or is there a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it.

"I'll take care of these things, you must have been tired of taking care of me recently, let's take a good rest first." Now that he has woken up, these things will no longer worry Yi Seventeen, Li Qianchen got up and let Yi Seventeen lie down, let Yi Seventeen experience these are his dereliction of duty, now that he is awake, all the people who plot against Yi Seventeen, all the conspiracies and tricks, he will sweep them all away!

Yi Seventeen grabbed Li Qianchen's hand and refused to let go, Li Qianchen knew that Yi Seventeen was still afraid, he gently patted Yi Seventeen's shoulder, smiled and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will always guard you." ”

His face, cold and cold, like a cold winter ice peak, but under this cold appearance is enough to melt the frost and snow, the temperature on his fingers is like a candle flame in a rainy night, so that the panicked heart can be calmed, Yi Seventeen rubbed slightly, he has begun to be reluctant to separate, at this moment, even the back is deeply imprinted in his heart, his heart told himself for the first time that Li Qianchen is everything to him.

……

Outside the house, the rain was pouring down, and the rain fell on the glass to form a curtain of water, which was much heavier than the weather forecast said.

In the living room, Bai Xiaoci was napping with Xiao Hei in his arms on the sofa, with lazy rhubarb on the side, and Jun Buqi was standing in front of the balcony floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rain.

The sound of Li Qianchen's footsteps going downstairs broke the silence of the living room.

Bai Xiaoci woke up when he heard the sound, and after seeing Li Qianchen, he hurriedly put Xiao Hei down and got up to greet him, "Ninth Master, you are awake." ”

Jun Buqi also turned around and looked over, his eyes were complicated, he could feel it, after Li Qianchen woke up, the aura of Shura on his body was even stronger, this breath made him very uncomfortable, he didn't speak, and passed by Li Qianchen.

"He's asleep, I have something to ask you." Li Qianchen stopped him.

"I have nothing to say to you." Jun Buqi did not pause, and went upstairs.

Li Qianchen turned sideways and looked at Jun Buqi's back as he went upstairs, he could clearly feel Jun Buqi's hostility, and the hidden sharp sword intent seemed to be only separated by a layer of white paper, and it would burst out at any time.

Jun Buqi's killing intent is very strong, which also further confirms Jun Buqi's identity as a holy weapon, and his Shura intention is forged with blood and dead souls, which is the innate hostility between righteousness and evil.

"He is Seventeen's sword slave, except for Seventeen, he always looks like he is not close to anyone." Bai Xiaoci eased the atmosphere and said.

Li Qianchen retracted his gaze, and suddenly noticed Xiao Hei staring at him on the sofa, "You cat is very spiritual." ”

Li Qianchen suddenly changed the topic, Bai Xiaoci was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Hei and said with a smile: "I picked it up outside, and the weather turned cold, so I took him home." ”

Li Qianchen stepped forward and picked up Xiao Hei, Bai Xiaoci was worried that Xiao Hei was about to be reminded, something unexpected happened, Xiao Hei, who has always disliked contact with people, actually rubbed Li Qianchen's hand with his head affectionately, this is the first time that Xiao Hei has shown closeness to someone other than him.

The two sat down, Bai Xiaoci began to prepare tea, and Li Qianchen said, "If you have something, just ask." ”

Bai Xiaoci shook his hand with the teacup, this familiar feeling, from the first time he saw Li Qianchen when he was three years old, his heart was inexplicably afraid, in his impression, Li Qianchen had never smiled, every time Li Qianchen came here, his father would receive him respectfully, from the time he was sensible, his father warned him that the Bai family was Li Qianchen's Bai family, and the Bai family should unconditionally obey all Li Qianchen's orders.

"I heard Seventeen, you left that place, or stay with me, you just woke up and need to recuperate for a while, just ......"

"I smell blood from you." Li Qianchen's indifferent tone made Bai Xiaoci's heart beat a drum, in front of Li Qianchen, all his disguises looked pale, and it had always been like this, which was also one of the reasons why he was afraid of Li Qianchen.

"There have been a few cases recently, it's strange, I found relevant clues when I was looking through the files, do you remember the headless unsolved case that happened in the south of the city in the sixties of the last century?" Bai Xiaoci simply gave up pouring tea, no longer hiding the panic in his heart, and directly inquired about the file.

"Yes."

Li Qianchen's short two-word answer was Bai Xiaoci, and he didn't know how to ask.

"That'...... About the murderer? ”

"The murderer is a demon."

"The archives record that the murderer was a man who wielded an iron claw weapon......"

Li Qianchen looked at Bai Xiaoci and said, "It's the demon who kills, and it's the human who helps the demon kill." ”

"You mean to say that there are demons who control people to commit murder?" Although Bai Xiaoci doesn't want the case to be linked to the supernatural, it is understandable if he can get more clues through Li Qianchen, "In the past few days, there have been four cases in a row and five people have died, and the murderer's modus operandi is very similar to the headless unsolved case in the south of the city, all the bodies of the deceased have a large number of wounds similar to scratches, and the cause of death was death from excessive blood loss, but I found ...... after inspecting the scene"

Bai Xiaoci talked eloquently, and Li Qianchen suddenly interrupted: "You can't solve this case, the murderer is not an ordinary person." ”

"Not an ordinary person? Do you know some clues that you can tell ......"

"Sort out a copy of the deceased's personal information to me, you want a murderer, I want a dead person." Li Qianchen actually didn't care about the case itself, what he wanted was Hundred Devil May Cry, since these people all died tragically, the possibility of turning into a Hundred Devil Cry after death was very high, and he was now in urgent need of Hundred Devil May Cry recovery.

Li Qianchen wants to investigate the case, which is a good thing for the investigation of the case, Bai Xiaoci believes that there is no case that Li Qianchen can't solve in the world, but for him, his heart is inexplicably worried, he doesn't want to have too much negotiation with Li Qianchen from the bottom of his heart, the Bai family has been Li Qianchen's subordinate since his grandfather's generation, he has almost never contacted Li Qianchen since he took over the Bai Family Detective Agency, he is afraid that Li Qianchen is just one thing, on the other hand, he also wants to get rid of Li Qianchen's control of the Bai family.

In fact, the so-called control is just Bai Xiaoci's self-righteousness, Li Qianchen never thought of controlling the Bai family, he has lived for nearly two hundred years, and the only thing he wants to do now is to take care of Yi Seventeen, and being able to rely on Yi Seventeen for his life is his greatest hope, as for the Bai family, he is kind to the Bai family, but he has never asked the Bai family to do things for him, and the persistence of the Bai family heads in the past generations is just to repay the favor willingly.
