CHAPTER XX
Room
Ao Chen half set up an inch-haired boy and brought him into the closed bubble tea shop. Behind the secret door, Xia Yue and Xie Guanyan had been waiting for a long time.
Zhou Ming was pushed to his knees, he wanted to look up at the person sitting on the sofa, but first caught a glimpse of the man's hand on his lap, and the plate ring on his thumb was not variegated. He shuddered for a moment, and then realized the danger of the current situation, and hung his head in a panic, not daring to look any more.
He is just a gangster, and he has only heard of the "power ring" of the underground organization. But combined with the posture in front of you, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the person on the sofa.
Sweating coldly, Zhou Ming desperately remembered when he had offended such a big man.
Xie Guanyan threw a glance at Xia Yue. The people have been brought, and the rest is left to her.
Xia Yue bowed slightly, not in a hurry to interrogate, but patiently waited for Zhou Ming's psychological defense to completely collapse.
In the confined space, the air seemed to freeze for a long time. Zhou Ming's trembling amplitude became bigger and bigger, like a crumbling leaf in the autumn wind, as if he had foreseen his tragic death.
Xia Yue stared at him for a long time, and when she saw that the effect of deterrence had been achieved, she spoke unhurriedly, "You blackmailed a girl in the alley before, do you still have an impression?" She took out the silver bracelet, and the three letters YZH collided with each other and hung in front of Zhou Ming's eyes.
There was a flash of dazedness on Zhou Ming's face, but he quickly nodded and admitted that this was indeed the case.
"Who instructed you to blackmail her?"
This time Zhou Ming showed real confusion, and after his eyes were out of focus for a while, he said, "I'...... I don't remember. ”
Xie Guanyan cleared his throat as if unintentionally, Ao Chen heard the sound and went to open the wooden cabinet on the side, and when he groped inside, it caused a sound of metal bumping, which frightened Zhou Ming so much that he directly grabbed the ground with his head.
But even so, he still said he didn't remember.
This statement is too absurd, and it has been less than two months since it happened, how can it be forgotten so quickly. But Zhou Ming's performance did not seem to be fake, and Xia Yue was speechless for a while.
In the end, it was Xie Guanyan who broke the deadlock, "What do you mean, you don't remember who instructed you?" ”
Zhou Ming nodded and shook his head, the whole person looked in a trance, and Rao is Ao Chen could see that something was wrong.
"Did he break his head, or was he put on his body by something, how did he talk about it."
These words woke Xia Yue up, no matter what the situation was, there was no way to know more information from Zhou Ming right now. But what is certain is that there is indeed someone behind the blackmail of You Zihui.
She shook her head at Xie Guanyan, who understood and signaled that Ao Chen could throw people out.
When he pulled Zhou Ming's collar and pushed him out of the bubble tea shop, Ao Chen added in a timely manner, "If someone asks about today's incident, you know how to answer." ”
"I just came here to drink a cup of milk tea." Zhou Ming replied, and then left as if he had been amnestied.
Xie Guanyan looked at Xia Yue's face and reminded him loudly, "I have tried my best to help you with what you asked, and the outcome of the interrogation is not something I can control." Xiong Yuqi, I hope you keep your promise and keep your mouth shut. ”
Xia Yue responded perfunctorily, and her thoughts had already flown away.
You Zihui tore off the paper full of words, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash. Because the brushstrokes are extremely strong, the next side of the book is also printed with handwriting, densely spread all over the entire paper, turning over and over but only one sentence.
"I killed her."
You Zihui stared at the paper, but the events of that day were constantly being staged in his mind.
She bumped into Cheng Jinyu at the corner of the corridor, the other party's hair was disheveled and her face was pale, and she was startled by You Zihui, who suddenly appeared. After recognizing the comer, Cheng Jinyu immediately pointed at You Zihui's nose and scolded in order to cover up her gaffe.
After noticing You Zihui's gaze resting on his neck, Cheng Jinyu's reaction was even stronger, covering the red and swollen fingerprints on his neck, and at the same time the most vicious words popped out of his mouth, "Look at what!" Why do you still have a messy face, how did you not get killed by a man in that alley. ”
You Zihui only felt like falling into an ice cave, and the blood on his body was cold. Then she heard the same cold words and spit out from her mouth, "Cheng Jinyu, you go to die." ”
With these words, the ring hanging from her chest emitted a dark purple gas, and one of the wisps penetrated Cheng Jinyu's nose at a speed that was unreachable to the naked eye.
Cheng Jinyu's eyes instantly lost their brightness, and she walked towards the roof of the building as stiff as a marionette. What happened later is that everyone knows that Cheng Jinyu jumped off the top floor and fell to his death.
Cheng Jinyu really did what she said, and died.
There was no camera to capture their conflict, and the two had almost no intersection before, so Cheng Jinyu's death did not affect You Zihui from beginning to end, and this basin of dirty water was successfully splashed on Xia Yue.
If God helps. When the whole thing settles and he is clean, this is the only evaluation You Zihui can think of. It seems that there is a pair of invisible hands that are fueling her.
Prayer really worked. When she examined the ring around her neck again, her gaze became obsessive and fanatical, and her facial features were slightly distorted, revealing demonic greed.
What she couldn't see was that there was a strong demonic aura around her, enveloping her heavily and lingering.
Demon Realm
The demon sat in the tent, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of frost. The brazier next to him "crackled", but the warmth brought was minimal. Fortunately, the demon clan has a special physique, so it will not die in the cold.
Outside the tent, the occasional conversation of the guards could be heard. The Demon's movements are not restricted, but there are soldiers with them at all times. They are known as "guarding the duty", but in fact, they are monitoring her every move, and they don't have to guess that it is the instruction of Yu Li.
The battle between the two armies was imminent, and it was inconvenient for the demon to completely tear his face with him, so he endured such behavior and did not put his beak too much.
The gray flame in the corner hissed quietly, and the demon beckoned slightly, and it immediately stepped forward quickly, rubbing its wet nose against her palm. Although it doesn't know how to recognize the Lord, it conforms to its nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and it is very obedient to stay by the side of the demon.
Relying on the nourishment of the superior demon blood, its originally gray sideburns glowed with a silvery-white sheen. The oval pupils were faintly purple in the depths of the firelight at this time.
The demon suddenly had an alarm bell in his heart, how could there be a purple color unique to the demon in the pupils of the beast clan?
She placed her hand on Grey Flame's forehead, and condensed a wisp of demonic energy into its consciousness, which seemed to sense it and began to struggle violently. The demon directly wrapped its arms around its neck, and forcefully stopped its dodging movements.
As the demonic aura deepened, she detected a familiar aura in the Gray Flame's divine sense.
The moment he realized that he was exposed, the demonic energy disappeared. As the bearer, the gray flame felt the pain of splitting, and the beast furious, lowered its head and bit the arm that was surrounding it.
The pain distracted the demon, and by the time she came back to her senses, the breath was gone.
Stimulated by the smell of blood, the gray flame gnawed at her flesh and blood to satisfy her appetite, but the demon seemed to be unconscious, and her face froze in place.
By planting demonic energy in the divine consciousness of the beast clan, you can always grasp its whereabouts.
And the aura in Gray Flame's body, she is very familiar with it, and she really can't deceive herself.
It was the demonic aura of the holmium.
The demon suddenly felt tired. She stood in the imperial city, was vigilant, and was wary of the demon generals she worked with, and did not dare to take it lightly. However, she still didn't expect that even the only relative would design to frame her, and the powerlessness under this gap almost suffocated her.
But now is not the time to feel sorry for herself, the location of the garrison has most likely been exposed, and she needs to report the situation in time.
However, if she reported it truthfully, she would have to admit her relationship with Holmium and what Holmium had done, which she was unwilling to face.
This move means that the unforgivable death penalty of Holmium has been completely pronounced.
There was a commotion outside the tent, and Twilight entered. The guard then retreated out of hearing range in amusement.
Ash Flame was satisfied, and let go of the demon's arm, flesh still remaining between his teeth, and bared his teeth and roared at Twilight.
"A lowly beast knows no dignity." The demon sank its face, condensed the demonic energy into a rope, and tied the evil animal tightly, so that it could not move, and could only whimper and beg for mercy.
Twilight was slightly stunned, her gaze fixed on the wound on the demon's arm. She had heard a lot of gossip in the camp about this lowly monster of unknown origin, and the absurd practices of the demon to raise it with flesh and blood. But when she saw with her own eyes, the visual impact caused by the fair skin and bloody minced flesh, the first thought that came to Twilight's mind was to worry about the demonic mental state.
She had rarely seen a demon so tired and depressed.
"Are you alright?" Because they are the only two women among the twelve demon generals, Twilight and the demon have a bit of a sympathetic friendship, and they don't pay attention to red tape when communicating in private, "If those guards upset you, you can teach you a lesson." It's just that at this juncture is more sensitive, and I don't want to disobey the will of the soldiers and dismiss the soldiers without authorization, so I can only wronged you first. ”
"The big picture matters, I understand." The demon barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and she still remembered the problem that the position of the garrison might be exposed.
"Twilight, there's something ......"
"Enemy attack! Alert! Suddenly there was a shouting from somewhere in the camp, followed by the sound of clashing blades and the screams of soldiers.
For a moment, the demon felt that the blood all over his body was cold. The mob moved faster than she had imagined.
It's too late to shed light on what happened. She loosened the restraints on Grey Flame, not daring to delay for a moment, and quickly rushed out with Twilight to join the battle.
However, the struggle between scheming and intrigue has only just begun.
