Chapter 69: Mission Failure
Chao Huan frowned, Zhu Shi also understood what she was thinking, and an embarrassing smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.
It's just that at this time, the village chief has left very "interestingly", leaving the two of them standing in front of the house and looking at each other.
After a while, Chao Huan spoke, and she sighed: "I could understand that we were in the same room before, but now this situation makes me a little incomprehensible." ”
As a human spirit, how could Zhu Shi not understand that his relationship was misunderstood, he smiled awkwardly, opened the door and looked inside.
As the village chief, this room is not small, and a double bed is enough for two people.
"You can rest first, I still have something to talk to the village chief..."
Chao Huan glanced at it, and naturally understood that this was his excuse, but she was also happy to sleep alone and didn't say anything more.
Outside the door, Zhu Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and finally turned his head and walked out.
At this time, most of the He family had rested, the candles in the house had been extinguished, and only the moonlight in the courtyard fell on Zhu Shi's face.
For a moment, he remembered what had happened in Qingji Village.
The kidnapping case, at first glance, I only thought it was a demon, but later investigation found that it was not so simple. The mountain god marries a mortal who accompanies the remnants of the soul.
At that time, he was keenly aware of the strangeness, if he chose to hide this secret, maybe there would not be everything that happened later, but at that time, his pursuit of the truth was extremely strong.
So, he asked that question.
What happened after that seemed plausible, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart, as if there was a white mist covering it, making the truth obscure.
Leaving aside the Lin Youyu who disappeared after that, and Zhu Shu, who was very indifferent and never mentioned this helper along the way, he felt more and more that this mission was very strange.
Why...
That person would say those words...
Zhu Shi pondered for a moment, he stood under the eaves for a long time, a cold wind blew, and then there was a soft cry.
Zhu Shu, who was deep in thought, didn't even notice the footsteps behind him, and after that exclamation sounded, he immediately turned his head, but only saw a young woman in a coat.
The woman probably got up in the middle of the night, carrying a lantern in her hand, and the light was blown out by the wind at this time, she stared at Zhu Shi with wide eyes, with a little curiosity and fear in her eyes.
"You... Are you your father's guest? The woman asked cautiously, her shirt tucked over her shoulders, and her eyes looked like soft little animals.
Zhu Shi was stunned, but remembered that the village chief mentioned that he had a son and a daughter at dinner, and he loved his daughter very much and praised him constantly.
I think it's the one.
The coldness on Zhu Shi's face dissipated instantly, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and the person who was like an ice sculpture just now turned into a bright moon, which made people's hearts break.
"Yes, in Xia Zhushi, thanks to the help of Village Chief He, I will borrow here for one night." He said softly, and when his gaze swept over the lantern in the other person's hand, he immediately realized something.
"If you scare the girl, please forgive the girl."
He Yuanyuan saw that he had a handsome face and spoke softly, not like that kind of rude villain, so she gradually relaxed her heart.
"No, no, it's just more exposed, and Childe still has to pay attention to his body." He Yuanyuan said softly.
In fact, He Yuanyuan was indeed frightened by the other party, the place where Zhu Shi stood was just diagonally facing He Yuanyuan's room, and a figure was illuminated in the room by the moonlight, and he stood motionless for a long time, He Yuanyuan was a little scared, so he came out with a lantern to see.
The two of them have a mysterious identity and a young lady in the boudoir, so naturally they have nothing to say, and after saying hello, they went back separately.
Zhu Shi walked to the room arranged by Village Chief He for the two of them, and when he was about to open the door, he suddenly sensed something, and his heart suddenly jumped.
Almost immediately, he could no longer support his body, and slowly fell to the ground against the door, clutching his heart and sweating profusely in pain.
Before he lost consciousness, he could only murmur out the name.
"And..."
"Abyss..."
At this time, the willow city, Fuyue Pavilion.
And Xiu was rudely thrown to the ground, but because of the poison in his body, he didn't even have the strength to change his position to a more comfortable position.
Every part of his body hurt, the poison was tortured in his body, and he couldn't help but vomit a few mouthfuls of blood, which flowed down his mouth and dripped down his cheeks to the ground.
Ji Xiu's vision gradually blurred, and he felt that his body was gradually destroyed, and the emotions in his heart were constantly surging.
All along, he thought he was a puppet being manipulated, from a third of the body, at least half a person. Even if the body is a puppet, he has a heart of his own.
The heart only began to beat after that accident, when he opened his eyes again.
Although Zhu Shu said that he was a puppet without a heartbeat, he didn't think so, in those ordinary days, his heart beat steadily and powerfully, and in the days when he lost his memory, he lived like a real human being.
In order to be free, he took that hand.
But now, betrayal and death followed, but in just one day, he lost everything, was betrayed by his subordinates, was highly poisoned, and died on the line.
He couldn't even ask why.
Why do you want to hurt me.
Why betrayed me.
Is it because I'm a puppet?
Is it because I want to be free?
But these questions and Xiu couldn't get answers, and he could only gradually lose himself in the severe pain.
When he was about to close his eyes, he saw a figure slowly coming, and when he saw that figure, his whole heart couldn't stop trembling.
He tried hard to open his eyes to see the other party clearly, but he couldn't do it, and in the end he could only hold on to doubts and lose his last breath.
The figure he had tried so hard to see came to him, a small hand caressing his eyes that had not yet been closed, and the hands ran down his throat and finally landed on his chest.
That hand was small, only half the size of the repair, but such a hand reached into his flesh and blood without hindrance, and took out the "heart" that had stopped.
Yes, it may be called a heart, but whoever looks at it will only say that it is a stone.
A crimson stone, in the chest cavity of Ji Xiu, became his most important heart.
The hand held the stone in the palm of his hand, stroked it lightly, and saw a few crimson marks on it, revealing a satisfied smile.
Then, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Someone opened the door and saw him come out, and bowed down respectfully, before that the subject he had bent over had lost his breath and heart in the house.
The old butler saw that the other party was in a happy mood, and couldn't help asking, "Young master, have you already obtained that thing?" ”
No one answered, but the old butler did not care, and he saw the figure pass in front of him, and a crimson light leaked from between his fingers.
The answer is already obvious.
When Chao Huan woke up, he found that it was not the last roof he saw before going to bed, a magnificent roof, a huge chandelier hanging down, I don't know what precious ore it was, exuding a strange light.
This scene is very familiar to Chao Huan, but it shouldn't be what she should be seeing at this moment.
She sat up abruptly and looked around, and sure enough, this was no longer the house of the village chief He that she had borrowed before going to bed.
Here it is...
Demon Palace.
The name slipped through her head.
The Demon Palace, just another name that most people call here, because it is established in the Demon Realm, because it is the place where the Demon Venerable lives, it is called the Demon Palace.
But on the first day he came here, the man told Chaohuan the real name of this place.
"Don't fall"
Maybe she was too familiar with this place, Chao Huan didn't have too much fear and surprise in her heart, she stood up, and the shoes she took off before going to bed were not at her feet. Compared to her cloth shoes, which can be seen everywhere, these shoes are worth a lot of money no matter how you look at them.
She put it on familiarly, walked around the room a few times, and made sure that it was where she lived, but there were some doubts in her heart.
Push open the door and walk out, outside the door is a yard with all kinds of plants, the land in the demon world is barren, few plants can survive here, it is rare to see so many plants, just this yard is already worth a lot.
Chao Huan didn't care too much, his eyes swept over the flowers that were blooming purple and red, and finally landed on the figure in the flowers.
She walked over, cleared her throat and said, "Mission, don't you do it?" ”
In the bush, the sky was behind his back, and when he saw her coming, he just raised his eyes lazily and glanced at her.
"Well, it's over."
"It's over?" Chao Huan was stunned, "And Yuan? ”
"Yes."
"But haven't I touched him yet?"
She also discussed with He Xiu, and wanted to lead out the He Yuan behind her, but at this time, she hadn't even started this plan, and she told her that it had been completed at the end of the day?
"No problem, that's my judgment, the mission was over the night you slept."
The tone was indifferent, as if what they said was not important, but Chao Huan knew that they had spent a lot of effort on this matter, and it was impossible for them to really be so light-hearted.
She was a little angry, but in the face of the end of the day, she still tried to suppress the anger in her heart, "What the hell is going on." ”
"And Xiu was killed, and Pei Ziyan died soon after his death, and it was He Yuan who started it."
What?!
And Xiu died?! And, Pei Ziyan?
Why did Pei Ziyan also die? At that time, she should have been in Haixing Village, if the person who killed Pei Ziyan came to Haixing Village, then how did she escape?
Chao Huan was stunned, and in a place she didn't expect, things were running in an unpredictable direction.
The day and the sky told the events of that night in detail, Chao Huan was stunned when he heard it, too many changes had happened, and the original plan was almost impossible to implement, and the judgment of the situation at that time was that it was no longer suitable to continue the mission, so let Lian Yunlan take her away.
"Who the hell is Jiyuan?"
In the end, Chao Huan only had this problem.
They have been looking for Heyuan, and at first they thought that the Pavilion Master of Fuyue Pavilion was, but it was as a puppet and Xiu.
Later, they thought it was Pei Ziyan, because she was very special, and her identity was also a good disguise for Ji Yuan.
But at the end of the day, it was said that Pei Ziyan was dead.
Who is it? Who is next to them? Or did that person not show up all the time?
Faced with Chao Huan's question, Daykong just slowly spit out two words, looking at his red lips, Chao Huan was half a beat late before he reacted to the name.
Suddenly, she froze in place.
That person, Chao Huan knew, but Chao Huan didn't guess that it would be him anyway.
That person will be Ji Yuan.
