Chapter 137: Shadow
Fate is a very wonderful thing, indescribable, invisible, intangible, but real. The encounters, acquaintances, and acquaintances between people are all caused by fate, and people who have no fate can only become passers-by in the end. Sometimes fate is also a kind of fate, fate is destined to experience all this, and you can't hide from it, and then you will meet suddenly one day, and the door of fate will be opened from then on.
Unintentionally chased out in the direction that Murong Xue ran out, and passed through several alleys one after another, but he never found Murong Xue's figure, and he didn't know where he went.
With Murong Xue's light skills, he has no intention of not even being able to catch up, and there seem to be few people in the rivers and lakes who are unable to catch up. Maybe Murong Xue didn't go in this direction at all, maybe she had deliberately hidden in a certain corner. Looking at the empty street in front of him, Wuxin's brows furrowed, not knowing where to look.
After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to continue looking, looked in a direction, and quickly ran out. He had to do his best to find Murong Xue, otherwise he was worried that Murong Xue would fall deeper and deeper because of this, and eventually embark on a path of no turning back, if Murong Xue really joined Red Feather one day, then he didn't know what kind of way he should face it in the future.
Just as Wuxin chased out, a black figure slowly walked out of the corner of the street, a pair of eyes stared closely at the direction of Wuxin's disappearance, and frowned......
Winter nights always come early, and before you know it, the sun has set, night has fallen, and a bright moon hangs in the sky.
Under the moonlight, a figure ran quickly, and the moonlight shone on his body, dragging his shadow long, equivalent to the length of their two bodies combined. He didn't seem to know tiredness at all, and kept running, constantly climbing mountains and mountains, as if he were going to a place where even he didn't know the direction.
Wuxin, who was standing at the crossroads, looked at the two roads in front of him that led in different directions, and there was a hint of hesitation, he didn't know which direction to go.
He had been chasing for a whole day, but he still hadn't seen Murong Xue's shadow, in fact, he already knew in his heart that maybe he had missed it with Murong Xue a long time ago. How can a person who deliberately hides you be so easy to find.
But he still insisted on chasing for a day until night gradually fell, maybe to reduce the self-blame in his heart, maybe just for the helpless and sad father.
This is a place where I don't even know where I am, only to see a few trees with withered leaves growing on both sides of the road, and there is a trace of loneliness and helplessness under this dark night, just like people, there will always be a moment in the night, surrounded by a lonely loneliness, open your eyes and look forward to the dawn coming soon.
Wuxin sighed, maybe, he should also learn to let go slowly, maybe this is fate, after all, it was Murong Baili who chose the path he wanted to take, and from the day he chose to join Red Feather, everything had changed.
Maybe even if Murong Baili didn't die in his own hands, Murong Xue would have changed, and the matter had come to this point, so what was the use of forcing it, so he had to go with the flow. What should come will come after all, don't be stubborn, maybe when the time comes one day, even if you don't look for it, Murong Chu will show up, as for whether to shake hands or face each other with swords, only time is left to answer.
Looking at the long shadow that he refracted on the ground, Wuxin frowned, staring at this strange shadow, slowly a trace of coolness rose on his back, and said lightly: "Come out." As he spoke, he held the knife in his hand tightly, and the strength in his body instantly condensed.
Immediately after, the long and narrow shadow suddenly split in two, and one from the side turned into two figures. It turned out that there was actually another person's shadow hidden in Wuxin's shadow, but Wuxin didn't know when this shadow would come behind him.
When he saw this shadow, Wuxin's brows furrowed even deeper, and his back was cold, maybe it was because he was only chasing Murong Xue's shadow along the way, maybe it was because the other party's strength was enough to hide his insight, he didn't even find that someone followed him all the way, and it was so close.
Wuxin turned around slowly, his eyes flashed, with a hint of murderous aura, and he looked coldly at the ghostly person standing behind him.
When he saw this person, he was even more surprised, because this person he had seen was one of the men in black who appeared several times at the most critical moment, the person who seemed to be the leader of the men in black.
The black shadow wrapped his whole body in black, wearing a black mask, holding a long and narrow black knife in his hand, and only his eyes and hands were exposed, revealing a trace of unpredictable mystery.
"Why are you following me?" Wuxin asked lightly, he didn't know why the other party kept following him, no matter where he went, he couldn't seem to get rid of them, and he always appeared at his most critical moment, but this time there was only one person who appeared.
"This is my mission, and I have to live up to my life's mission. The man in black said slowly, his eyes staring calmly at Wuxin's eyes, with an unusual respect.
"Who gave you this mission?" He looked at the man in black and said lightly, he originally thought that the man in black would be silent as before, but after listening to the explanation of the man in black, he was even more confused, and he heard it in a fog.
"From the time I was sensible, I was told that I would have to be your shadow for the rest of my life until I died, and I am, as have the other twelve people you have met. The man in black said seriously, not joking.
Wuxin frowned, still puzzled, and continued to ask, "Who is that person you are talking about?" He didn't understand who would do that, listening to the man in black, he had been indoctrinated since he was a child.
The man in black shook his head and said slowly: "I can't tell you yet, but you will naturally know when you should know." His attitude was very resolute, and he rejected Wuxin in one bite.
Hearing the answer of the man in black, the doubts in Wuxin's heart deepened, but he couldn't think of who would do that and what the purpose was, to be honest, he didn't believe it a little, because in addition to his deceased parents, he only had Tiexiong, a relative who was not a relative, who would deliberately cultivate such a group of people to help him secretly.
"How do I know if what you say is true, what if you have other purposes?" Wuxin looked at the man in black and said coldly.
Before the words fell, suddenly a red light appeared, and he unintentionally drew the knife!
The bloody knife slashed down at the man in black's head, as fast as lightning! Without any warning beforehand, at the same time, his unintentional eyes were staring at the man in black, wanting to see how the man in black reacted. If this knife really fell on the body of the man in black, he would definitely be killed on the spot!
Just when the blood knife had almost landed on the top of the man in black's head, with a twist of his wrist, the blood knife grazed the cheek of the man in black and flashed, stopping above the shoulder of the man in black!
Unintentionally squinted his eyes, stared at the eyes of the man in black, and slowly put away the knife, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, because the knife he had just now was not a false move, if the man in black had a trace of resistance, then he would really kill the man in black.
But the man in black not only didn't hide, but also didn't move, he didn't even blink his eyes, what a strong concentration it takes, if it is really a person with a ghost in his heart, it is impossible to be so calm in the face of the blood knife. Now, Wuxin is starting to believe the words of the man in black a little.
"I believe you for now, but if I find out that you have other purposes, I will kill you without mercy. Unintentionally stared at the eyes of the man in black, said coldly, and then randomly chose a direction at the crossroads, and walked slowly, ignoring the man in black.
He has acquiesced to the man in black to be his shadow, although he is not sure whether what the man in black said is true, but it is much safer to stay by his side than to hide in the dark, and to be honest, although this is the third time they have met, he still can't see through the depth of the other party, and he can't figure out the strength of the other party, but just because he can follow him for so long before being discovered, it is enough to show that this person is not simple.
The man in black stopped talking, and slowly followed behind Wuxin, keeping a certain distance. The two people, who were also shrouded in black, walked slowly on the dark avenue one after the other, no matter how they looked at it, they felt a little weird.
There are many wonderful things in the world, and although sometimes it is too confusing, there will come a moment when you will suddenly understand something. No matter what your original intention is, and no matter what your choice is, but every choice will usher in a result, and you don't know what the result will be after witnessing it with your own eyes.
Sometimes it seems like a random choice to make, but maybe there is a pull of fate in the dark, there will be accidents, but there are also surprises.
In an unknown town, there is a teahouse that is not doing well, and in this teahouse, there is only one customer at this time, a guest who looks like he has walked a long way, is sitting at the entrance of the teahouse at this time, holding a cup of tea and slowly bowing his head and drinking, there are a few refreshments on the table, which have already been swept away, and it seems that he has been hungry for a long time.
This person is the aimless walk, he doesn't know what this place is, just walked along the avenue all the way here, walked all night, not only tired, but also hungry and thirsty, so he walked into this tea shop. After eating and drinking, I finally felt that my whole body was refreshed. Starvation, perhaps, is the most unbearable thing for a person.
The man in black is no longer there, I don't know where he went, in fact, there was no shadow of the man in black when he turned around by accident on the way, but he didn't deliberately look for it, maybe a shadow should do the most, and the best thing to do is to hide.
And he didn't want to believe that the man should be hiding somewhere in the shadows now, watching him. To be honest, the feeling of having a pair of eyes staring at you at this moment is really uncomfortable.
The teahouse owner is alone at the counter, but he doesn't know what he's up to. It seems that this teahouse is so depressed that it is not a day or two, and even a guy can't afford to hire it, and the boss does everything himself, but fortunately, there is only one customer in the store this morning.
The boss didn't pay much attention to the strange-looking person sitting in the shop like the people on the street, maybe in his eyes, this was just a person who had traveled a long way and seemed to have a lot of secrets, he didn't want to care too much, all he cared about was how to bring his teahouse back to life.
Wuxin drank the tea in the cup, which was not bad, looked up at the uncrowded street outside the window, and felt a long-lost sense of ease, and felt much more relaxed. But suddenly, he frowned, and his eyes remained motionless at the door, for he saw a man, a familiar and strange person.
On the opposite side of the teahouse, a man in a gray cotton jacket flashed by, although it was only a brief turn of his head, but Wuxin still recognized him at first sight, because he couldn't forget the face.
So, without hesitation, Wuxin immediately stood up, threw a few copper plates on the table, walked out of the teahouse quickly, and chased out in the direction where the man left......
