Chapter XXVII: Temptation
There was a deathly silence in the room, and no one spoke.
Even Wang Youting, who was in the corner, flashed her big eyes and silently moved her gaze out the window.
"You know, I couldn't do anything when your brother died, do you understand my desperation? I want to raise you well, and your brother will be able to rest assured that he will be able to know you. ”
Su Wen's hand hung weakly, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Ming Qiaoqiao bit her lip, tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads, and fell crystal clear on her clothes.
In the end, it was his sister who had been brought by himself for so long, Su Wen couldn't bear to pick up Ming Qiaoqiao's face, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ming Qiaoqiao's eyes with his thumb.
"Okay, don't cry anymore, I promise you, I won't risk your life again next time."
What Su Wen didn't expect was that the next moment, this girl, who had always been raised by him as his own sister, hugged him directly.
"Brother Su Wen, thank you."
Su Wen felt the delicate and soft body in his arms, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
After a while, he reached out and patted Ming Qiaoqiao's back.
……
Inside the office.
The scar man looked at the results of the missing persons investigation on the table with a serious expression.
"These people were all lost from our shelter, I originally wanted to keep quiet until the matter was clarified, but it seems that there is no need to continue to hide it now, after all, people have come to our shelter so openly, it must be relied on."
After saying this, Scar Man's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the office.
"And the guy who snuck down the hall in the middle of the night that day, what's his name?"
"Brother Ben, his name is Su Wen."
"Suwen, huh? Go and call him over, I have something to ask him. ”
The subordinates agreed, and soon opened the door to go to Su Wen, but as soon as he opened the door, he raised his eyes and saw Su Wen's enlarged face.
"You, you, you......"
The subordinate took a step back in succession and pointed at Su Wen, "You said three times and said something that surprised Su Wen."
"You can't be from the Doom Alliance! Say! What is the intention of eavesdropping outside! ”
Su Wen: "??? ”
Big brother, I didn't do anything?
Why did you charge me with eavesdropping?!
Without waiting for Su Wen to refute, his subordinates were ready to make a move on Su Wen, and the scar man in the house spoke out.
"Okay, you bring him in first, as for whether he is eavesdropping, I have my own judgment."
The scar man's voice was calm and powerful.
Su Wen was taken to the Scar Man's office, and under the signal of his eyes, all the people who were originally in the office withdrew, leaving only Su Wen and the Scar Man.
"You just ran into him last night, did you communicate with each other?"
Although Su Wen is still vigilant against the federal government, last night's appearance did make him trust the man in front of him a little more.
Originally, he wanted to hide his identity as a talisman maker, because this identity was still quite eye-catching.
But after thinking about it, if I told a lie, maybe I would be more likely to be suspected by the scar man, so it was better to tell the truth and only hide part of the information.
"I did meet him last night and had some conversations with him."
Su Wen told him all about the situation last night, but he concealed the fact that he had a heroic spirit.
After finishing speaking, the scar man looked him up and down, and finally his gaze stayed on the place where Su Wen was wearing a bracer.
"What's wrong with your hand? You're still wearing bracers, isn't it possible that you were a summoner before? ”
When Su Wen heard this, he raised his right hand and looked at it, with a wry smile on his face.
"Old wounds."
An old wound can't prove anything, and the scar man obviously still has some disbelief on his face.
"Oh? Since it's an old wound, why cover it up? ”
Su Wen was speechless when the scar man said this.
If you don't cover the wounds on your face, don't I want to look good?
"I'm carrying a child with me, and I got this injury several years ago, so I'm afraid it will scare the child if it is exposed."
Su Wen smiled.
By this time he had put on his glasses.
Unlike last night's battle with Wu Nan, he seemed to have all his ambitions sealed.
Although the scar man wanted to see what Su Wen's hands looked like after taking off his bracers, he also understood that it was impossible for him to take them off when he saw Su Wen talking.
"Alright, then I have one last question for you."
Su Wen looked up and looked at the scar man through the lenses of his glasses, which were not heavy.
"I wonder, why did you come out of the hall so late last night?"
There was silence between the two men for half a minute.
The scar man had already narrowed his eyes slightly, if Su Wen couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, then he wouldn't let Su Wen go so easily.
"Truth be told, I know that people have been disappearing from the Vault lately."
The fingers that the scar man had been tapping lightly on the desktop suddenly stopped, staring at Su Wen for more than ten seconds before continuing to tap on the tabletop.
"So you suspect that we did these things?"
Su Wen didn't hide it, and nodded honestly.
"Since the person disappeared in the shelter, then my first suspicion is that there will be something wrong here, so I want to secretly investigate."
"But as I told you earlier, the Doomsday Alliance told me that they quietly came to kidnap people just to reform."
Hearing this, the scar man already understood what Su Wen meant, nodded casually and let him leave.
Su Wen came out of the office and found that his palms were already slightly sweaty, but fortunately there was nothing abnormal on his face, otherwise he would definitely let himself take off his bracers to show him.
When the time comes, I won't be able to hide it.
I don't know what the reason is, Su Wen always felt that he should not reveal the fact that he was able to summon the Heroic Spirit too early.
The situation is uncertain, volatile, and this is a time when everyone is at risk.
Su Wen returned to the house, the sky was already completely bright, and everyone advised Su Wen to take a good rest, after all, Su Wen didn't sleep much yesterday, and he could finally sleep well today.
Su Wen didn't refuse, he agreed, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon.
There was no one in the room, and feeling the attraction of soul power, Su Wen raised his hand, and an unknown heroic spirit appeared beside him.
After these few days, the Heroic Spirit has not changed at all, but the difference is that the blood stains on his body have been cleaned up.
"There's something that's getting closer and closer to you, and it exudes an ominous aura, and if you do find it, I guess you'll kill a lot of people."
Su Wen was shocked in his heart, and felt that the ominous breath in Ying Ling's mouth was most likely the Black Pterodactyl.
