Chapter 209: Offline (Part I) (First Update)
Li Meina was taken aback and said, "He...... Know your identity? ”
Liu Jichuan said: "Being able to send someone to watch in advance shows that he not only realized my identity, but also guessed my purpose...... I just don't know, when did he know, or did he ...... Someone snitching? ”
Li Meina was stunned, her face was pale, and she hurriedly said: "Liu Ju, it's definitely not me and Meiya." ”
There are not many people who know the identity of Liu Ju, and she and her sister are both insiders.
Liu Jichuan glanced at her, his eyes slowly moved out of the car window, and his expression looked unpredictable: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say it was you, I prefer to capture it by himself than someone informing......"
A smile appeared on his face and said: "This kid's growth rate is beyond our imagination, and he is worthy of being the person I fancied, but unfortunately, I hope he can really be enlightened." ”
Li Meina looked at his expression through the rearview mirror, breathed a sigh of relief, and said carefully: "Then what are you going to do next?" Time is running out over there. ”
The question dissipated silently in the car.
Liu Jichuan did not answer, nor did he have the obligation to answer, which made Li Meina have no choice but to shut up.

Xu Shen rested at home for two days, taking care of Heixue every day while practicing swords.
In addition to practicing swords, it will also let Mo Haiming's brother enter the fog and wander in the fog.
Although the area of the fog near home has been explored, being in the fog is a tempering in itself.
Doodle.
The comm rang.
Xu Shen picked it up and looked at it, and sighed secretly in his heart, should he come or come.
Two days...... Sure enough, I was calm.
"Brother, are you going out again?" Hei Xue is very smart, and every time she sees Xu Shen pick up the communication, she knows that he will leave.
Xu Shen nodded and touched her hair: "Be obedient, be well-behaved at home." ”
"May I go with you?"
Heixue said aggrievedly.
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "If you meet the dangerous woman before, are you sure that she won't notice it?" ”
Hei Xue hesitated a little, and then said cautiously: "If I enter my brother's body, she shouldn't notice." ”
"Hide in me?" Xu Shen looked at her: "Are you willing to be eaten by your brother now?" ”
Hei Xue shook her head: "It's not that I was eaten by my brother, but I drilled part of my body into my brother's body, so that I can sense where my brother is, just like before." ”
As she spoke, she glued a black filament from Xu Shen's shoulder.
Xu Shen suddenly understood.
It's the same as the previous tracking method, but this time it's "increased".
……
……
Xilan Town.
Located on the outskirts of the Black Light District, there are only two direct roads from the city, and the side of the road is overgrown with weeds, the road condition is somewhat dilapidated, and no one has repaired it for a long time.
Xu Shen drove to the front of the town and watched the foggy people in the town leading the cattle and walking along the guide rope with difficulty.
From the ground, Xu Shen saw two rows of tire prints, and judging from the marks, it was a car.
Xu Shen immediately drove over the tire print and drove into the town.
Soon, in front of a tavern in this panicked town, Xu Shen saw the vehicle parked at the door.
Turned off the engine and got out of the car, lifted the curtain and came to the tavern, Xu Shen saw the figure sitting on the bar, and the owner of the bartender behind the bar.
It is said that the boss is not a waiter, because the latter wears a gold watch, has a big belly, and smokes cigarettes while bartending.
But unfortunately, there is a black cross mark on the opponent's wrist.
Xu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he went straight to the bar and sat next to the middle-aged figure.
"What do you like to drink?" A gentle voice came, and Liu Ju tilted his head slightly to look at Xu Shen, with an old friend-like smile on his face.
"Whitewater."
Xu Shen said to the bar owner.
"Why don't you try our signature bloody sea urchin here?" The boss said with a smile, quite heroic.
"Just white water."
"Okay."
A glass of white water was handed to Xu Shen, but Xu Shen didn't drink it, but gently tapped the water cup with his fingers, as if he was playing, and asked casually: "Liu Ju, is there a ruin here?" ”
"No ruins." Liu Ju smiled: "There are only people." ”
"Then why are you here?" Xu Shen looked at the ripples on the water cup and asked in a low voice.
"I just want to bring someone to me." Liu Ju finished the cocktail in his hand and handed the cup to the boss: "It tastes very good." ”
"Thank you."
The boss smiled and took the cup and washed it aside.
"Let's go."
Liu Ju glanced at Xu Shen's water cup, knowing that he wouldn't drink it, so he simply got up neatly.
But Xu Shen picked up the water cup, drank it in one gulp, and then handed the cup to the boss, and also got up and said, "It tastes good, it's very sweet." ”
"Haha, what else can white water taste like?" The boss laughed.
"It depends on how you taste it."
The words stayed where they were, and Xu Shen had already turned around and walked away.
Liu Jichuan glanced at Xu Shen meaningfully, waved his hand to the boss, and walked out of the tavern as well.
"Where are you going?" Xu Shen stood at the door and looked left and right casually: "Is there a big man here?" ”
"Only the little people."
Liu Jichuan walked out, and the smile on his face seemed to be a little more relieved: "Follow me into the ruins realm, and I will take you to meet a little person." ”
"Oh?"
Xu Shen was quite surprised, but he didn't ask, time will give the answer, and sometimes he didn't need too many questions.
The two escaped into the ruins, and Liu Jichuan walked straight through, passing through the rancid buckets and dirty garbage heaps outside the tavern, but they were all dusty, and the reality was illusory.
Xu Shen also followed.
Passing through the town's buildings, the two walked in a straight line.
"It's a desolate town." Xu Shen walked down along the way, only saw a few fog people, shuttled through many buildings, but the inside was empty, obviously no one had cleaned it for a long time.
There are also houses with blood stains on the walls and floors, and no one has cleaned them up.
"Not long ago, there was a ruin incident here, and then it was abandoned." "Only a handful of survivors remained. ”
Xu Shen nodded, just like what he felt, it did look like he had been hit hard by the erosion of the ruins.
Not long after, they came to a hut.
The hut was shabby, and there was a father and daughter in the doorway.
The girl was very small, four or five years old, but she looked sensible.
The father, shaved his head, was bending down to pat the dust off the little girl's feet, and then led the little girl forward.
"His name is Ah Coal."
Liu Jichuan looked at the father and daughter who passed in front of him and passed through their bodies, and said softly, "Walk with me and see him." ”
Xu Shen was a little puzzled, but didn't ask, just nodded.
Like wandering ghosts, the two followed behind the father and daughter.
……
……
Ah Coal, 28 years old.
He didn't have a surname, his parents died young, and he didn't have his parents in his memory, so he wasn't sent to a training school by his parents like a normal fog man, taught him to recognize Braille, and taught him the rules of a guide rope.
He grew up eating 100 family meals in a small town, and occasionally met a kind fog people, who would give him some leftovers, and occasionally had a bad harvest, so he could only go through the trash can by himself.
He doesn't have a guide line of his own, so even though he is a fog man, he can only wander around.
As a result, he often went into territory that did not belong to him, sometimes groping his way into the homes of wealthy people, being beaten out, and sometimes falling into ditches and soaking wet.
I have been beaten and suffered.
But Ah Coal is still doing badly.
The house left by his parents was reclaimed, and he grew up living in a grove or in the corner of someone else's house.
Use the tattered leaves and dead branches, as well as the tattered buckets you have found, to build a small nest for yourself.
Occasionally, when it rained and the nest leaked, he would run to the rich man's house and squeeze into the rich man's kennel all night.
At first the dog barked, and the owner came out and whipped him away.
Later, he wanted to please the dog.
So he shared some of the food he picked up with the dog, hoping to make friends with the food.
But the dog was still fierce and didn't eat what he shared.
Until one day, he gave out a piece of slimy things, and he heard the sound of chewing in his ears, and then, the dog actually stopped barking.
Ah Coal is very happy, he has found something to please the dog.
That night, he hugged the dog and slept comfortably.
So every time it rained, he would dig through the same thing and borrow it from the kennel for the night.
But what struck him as strange was that every time his dog friends saw his bark, his voice changed.
Not long after, in a rainy day, he again carried something to rub the kennel, but was caught by the owner who was guarding the kennel and beat him severely, breaking his arm and breaking one of his legs.
Beat and scold: Let you hurt my dog, let you hurt my dog!
At that moment, Ah Coal understood why the dog's voice changed every time.
At the same time, Ah Coal also understands that the life of a dog friend is more valuable than his own life.
Still on the street like a dead dog, he licked his wounds and tried to crawl back to his den, but he crawled to another manor.
And his fate changed at that moment.
He was left behind by the owner of the manor and lived in a more comfortable place than the previous kennel.
His wounds were healed, he was cultivated, and the owner of the manor helped him open his eyes and let him see the world for the first time.
His previous name was "Ah Wei".
The owner of the manor said that the word "no" was too pitiful, there was no surname, and if there was no name, it would be too meaningless to live.
So he named him Ah Coal.
The master said that coal is a good substance, capable of burning, glowing, and illuminating others.
So, in order to repay the kindness, Ah Tan worked hard to repay the owner of the manor.
As his name suggests, he continues to shine and do things for the owner of the manor.
More than ten years have passed.
As the owner of the manor grew old, his children began to take his place, and many things gradually changed.
Young people are always aggressive, and Ah Coal's body is slowly getting more scars.
He began to reminisce about the night he first hugged and slept peacefully in the kennel.
It was pouring rain outside, but he slept peacefully.
The second is a little later, before 9 o'clock~
