Chapter 15: The Night Visitor
CHAPTER XV
Night finally fell completely, Liu Xiuyun raised his head from the pile of manuscripts and looked at the silver pine forest in the night outside the simulation window. The fire was burning on the side, and in front of the fire was a comfortable sofa, a small table, a rose that had not yet opened, and a picture frame with a picture of her daughter.
It's the same setting as his office in Jonlin, but it's too quiet. The occasional footsteps in the hallway could be heard, only the boundless silence created by the Highland mage, and his heart was empty. But maybe this emptiness has nothing to do with the environment, it is the emptiness of his heart, he seems to have miscalculated the cards, and played the wrong cards.
Roach's unusual abilities and the treacherous ways he has always carried are suspicious, but all of this is covered up by the shoddy targeting of Bailida, the clown who is noisy and grasps all the problems that should not be grasped. He didn't have much time to delve into Roach's eccentricities during the days of meetings, and his heart was full of sympathy for a child. Barida is like a mindless and embarrassing stupid hat, an unreasonable stupid hat, the only purpose of existence is to push everyone to Roach's side.
His heart was panicking, he hadn't had this kind of hairy boy panic in decades, and he didn't even know where it was coming from. He had a gut feeling that he had done something wrong in the past few days, and he wanted to look at Roach's profile more closely, but he hadn't slept in two days, and now he was flustered and had trouble concentrating.
He was startled when the fire in the furnace burst suddenly, and he saw a fiery snake emerge from the fire and wrap around the table, engulfing the picture of Rose and his daughter. He jumped up and rushed out of his desk in two steps, but the fire snake disappeared suddenly, and the light of the fire that had just soared into the sky was still on his vision.
He stood quietly, feeling even more empty in his heart, flustered, sadness suddenly broke into his heart, he wanted to kneel on the blanket in front of the fire, he wanted to fall on the ground and weep bitterly. His mind was screaming that something was wrong, but emotions swept through like a storm, and he had never experienced such violent emotions in his life. He had never felt such a powerful force, he knew that his mind would eventually open, and he waited for the catastrophic moment in fear that could not be feared.
Until there was a knock on the door.
It took Liu Xiuyun a while to distinguish where the sound came from, the knock on the door was extremely real, and it was at this moment that he suddenly woke up, the chaotic and rapid emotional storm just now was over, and his rapid heartbeat was his own heartbeat.
Only then did he realize that he had squatted on the ground at some point, Liu Xiuyun was stunned for a while, and then jumped up and walked to the door.
Liu Xiuyun's hand fell on the doorknob, feeling the slight vibration from the knock on the door, and restraining his doubts about the real world. He opened the door and found a pair of brown eyes looking at him softly.
"You are" he said halfway, looking at the young man in front of him, his eyes were full of excitement, it was the look of a young man, and he didn't have to be included in the men's ranks. He's him, of course it's Roach, otherwise who else could it be?
As if his mind had been read, the boy tilted his head and smiled at him. He took a few steps back and allowed Roach in. It would certainly be foolish and self-inflicted to block the Mind Master with a door, and he would not do that.
The boy was still holding the cat and smiling politely at him, as if with some unconfidence and childish restraint, and he cautiously entered the house, as if he was afraid of leaving muddy footprints on the carpet of someone else's house. Thinking of this, he realized that Roach was barefoot, and the shirt he was wearing was one size larger, so it might actually be pajamas.
The boy immediately looked around curiously as he entered the room, taking in everything around him, and he must have been impressed by the large size of the place. "Spatial extension magic?"
Liu Xiuyun nodded.
The boy glanced back at him, "My room is much smaller than this. ”
Liu Xiuyun smiled contemptuously at the sourness and stinginess in his words, and said sarcastically, "Think you haven't gotten enough?" Never satisfied? ”
The boy shook his head and looked at him quietly, "A little magic like this, Du Zhengyi can easily do it, but he still squeezes into a very small room with me. ”
He believed what he said, Du Zhengyi was the best magician in the world at teleportation, which meant that he knew everything about the magic of manipulating space. "It seems that the parents of your family have been trying to be responsible and don't want to spoil you."
The boy was amused, showing his little white teeth, but when he glanced at Liu Xiuyun, Liu Xiuyun shuddered for no reason, he had not been stared at by such an indifferent and terrifying gaze. The boy let go of the cat in his hand, let the black cat move freely, and went to the fire himself, and sat down calmly on the sofa in the most prominent position, and looked back at him like his owner.
Liu Xiuyun came back to his senses and turned to Luo Qi.
"Sit down." "I don't like people talking to me from a top-down perspective. ”
"What? You don't want to order a division," he said, and his body involuntarily fell to a chair not far from Roach. He looked up in amazement, followed by a look of anger.
The boy licked his lips, like a satisfied cat, he looked at Liu Xiuyun with a smile, "Isn't this good?" When we sit down, we can all be about the same height. I didn't let you kneel on the ground, teacher, you should thank me. Because I like equality, I'm not like you. ”
"I remember that you were once sent under the ground of Qionglin," Liu Xiuyun said angrily, "I thought that experience would teach you a lesson!" ”
Roach laughed lightly and shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch, his elbows propped up on the armrests, the fingers of both hands crossed. "Some mages went underground, not because of what they did, but because they made Qionglin feel that they had a taste on them."
"I'm glad you know that very well." Liu Xiuyun said teasingly.
"Going back to the previous topic, some people don't deserve magic at all." Roach said.
Liu Xiuyun looked at him angrily, he didn't know what the last topic was, the topic of decorating the house? "You don't deserve to use magic."
"I haven't used much magic at all." Rocky said innocently.
"Did you arrange Bailida's attack on you?" Liu Xiuyun asked.
Roach only gave him a grimace, "Guess what? ”
Liu Xiuyun sighed, "Maybe your parents limited your abilities because they had already discovered that you were a devil. Du Zheng will also realize this sooner or later, maybe he has already suspected it, tonight he once advised me to leave here and hide in the Qionglin. ”
