1. By the time dinner is almost ready, it’s almost ten o’clock. But Lan Xi had to admit that this dinner and midnight snack was the most delicious meal in her life!
It can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western, fresh but not greasy. Especially that salad, why is it the same salad dressing + fruits and vegetables as in the restaurant, but the one here is so delicious?
After dinner, I finished my homework and it was almost eleven o'clock. Lan Xi also wanted to say goodbye, and she said goodbye to everyone politely.
From a teacher's perspective, Sang Wanxin truly feels that this is a good child. She was worried that it would be unsafe so late, whether it was encountering monsters, monsters, or robbers, so she asked Lin Yue to send her classmate home.
"no problem."
Then Lin Yue and Lan Xi left. Sang changed his face and washed his face to get ready for rest. Uncle Bin lay tiredly on the sofa, sorting out his thoughts.
In the case a few days ago, a man whose whole body was skinned was hung upside down on a telephone pole. It had a very unique feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Further back, a corpse was found in the lake, with its internal organs and flesh and blood removed, replaced by some strange stones and sandalwood.
Then there was the jumping case at Holy Cross College, where the soul of the deceased was stripped away by the murderer. There are also magic circles found on the ground. He guessed it had something to do with sacrifice, but he hadn't figured out what it was exactly.
It's time for "it" to appear. After Uncle Bin made this decision, he picked up his black box and returned to his room.
He locked the door, not because he didn't want Sister Sang to find out, but to prevent the atmosphere in the room from leaking. After all, what he was about to do was a bit dangerous and difficult, and he didn't want to affect others.
He took out a piece of chalk from the black box. This was no ordinary chalk, it was made of phosphorus powder. He drew an ordinary summoning circle, but it was not enough.
The formation must have a symbol of the target summon. He drew several complex star symbols inside.
Uncle Bin felt a little ugly... There was nothing he could do, he was not a professional summoner, so what he drew could be used.
Then he cut his hand with a knife to draw blood to show his loyalty to the summoner. After preparations were completed, when a drop of Uncle Bin's blood was soaked into the summoning array, the air in the room accelerated and the summoning array began to rotate with an inexplicable aura!
Then a light blocked the view. After the light dissipated, time stood still, and Uncle Bin's room became a claustrophobic corner independent of time and space.
Uncle Bin spent all his energy and magic power and was panting. He saw water droplets floating on the summoning array he made. From this, he knew that the summoning was successful.
A pair of gray wings appeared in front of the mortal. The one who was summoned was a male angel with a majestic air.
But what is more trendy is that he is wearing a white suit. His name is Wickchin, and he is one of the angels who carry out orders under God.
"Hey, Lao Xie, are you looking for me?" After the archangel appeared, he folded his wings, sat on Uncle Bin's bed, and lit up a cigarette.
"It's not a big deal...but I just want to ask, do you know how to sacrifice?"
The angel blew out the smoke very casually, very casually. "Understand better. We angels don't do sacrifices, but demons do it as often as eating. What? Your business has expanded to sacrifices?"
"I've got a problem."
"Hit the name - you still remember the old rules, right? The consulting fee is one hundred yuan per second."
"I'll go, the price has increased?" Uncle Bin was also surprised at first. Angels can also eat human fireworks, smoke, and collect money? But now it's become a habit.
"Old friend's price, 25% off. Count from the next sentence when I answer you. You speak first." After saying that, the archangel took out a pocket watch from nowhere and prepared to time the time.
"Three murders occurred here in the human world. In the first case, the whole body of the deceased was skinned, in the second case, all the internal organs and flesh and blood of the deceased were replaced with sacrifices, and in the third case, the deceased jumped from the building. He was terrified before death, and part of his soul was extracted. Just now. , we walked into the Styx River by accident. I always feel that these are not coincidences..."
Before speaking, the angel pressed the timer button. "A typical sacrifice ceremony. But this kind of sacrifice looks very organized and not simple. It should be a high-level sacrifice."
Uncle Bin continued to ask: "Can you help me find out who the goal of this ritual is to resurrect?"
Victor Qin was not a liar who pretended to be mysterious, and answered frankly, "This is a high-level sacrifice, and the mysteries involved are very deep, and even intermediate angels like us don't know it."
"Okay..." Uncle Bin was about to end the consultation.
"But tens of thousands of years ago, in the battle between the Holy Demons, the heavenly people who defeated the Demon Realm accidentally obtained the "Book of Magic", which recorded most of the detailed information on advanced sacrifices, including the steps, sacrifices, Demon kings and demon gods who want to be resurrected are all here.”
Uncle Bin sighed briefly: "You said this book, I can also buy it at a street stall! It costs ten yuan a book! Buy one, get one free! It's called "The Key of Solomon"."
"Things that deceive children are not worth mentioning in front of me."
"Really? Can you check it for me?"
"Only high-level angels and high-level demons are eligible to consult." Vicqin spread his hands.
"I'll go! Are you deliberately prolonging the consultation time?"
"I'm just telling you the truth!"
"Then you have a way to help me check?"
Wei Qin was thinking hard. When Uncle Bin saw that he was not speaking, he immediately stopped the timer's pocket watch for him and asked him to continue the timer when he spoke.
"I know an archangel who is qualified to consult the Demonic Manual. But if I ask him, I have to pay a bribe..."
Victor Chin pressed the timer button before speaking. This sentence lasted almost two and a half seconds and was worth two thousand dollars.
Two people have to compare money and expenses.
"Is the Archangel as greedy for money as you are?"
"What are you talking about? I used to be an archangel... Okay, let's not talk about this. You bring me 10,000 yuan and I will get some gifts for that brother. I should be willing to help."
"Okay. But I don't have that much money on hand now. Please give me the bank account number you left in the world first, and I will send you the money tomorrow."
"Okay. Then I will help you ask tomorrow."
"Are you so stingy? You only do things when you see money?"
"Brother! I don't want to either! I'm short of money recently..."
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore." Uncle Bin pressed the timer.
More than two minutes passed, and Victor Chin's consulting fee already cost tens of thousands. Fortunately, Liming Poetry Society handled the case and was paid more than 100,000 yuan each time.
That's right, this kind of work is not as common as ordinary detectives or police officers. It can even be called rare.
Vecchin's timer is very accurate, and it is used in a corner independent of time and space, so there is absolutely no cheating.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll give you an answer in a few days. I can do it 100% of the time."
Uncle Bin nodded and gave a Marlboro to Victor Qin.
"Is the smoke in heaven so scummy? Come and follow Marlboro!"
Afterwards, Wickchin left, leaving a few feathers in the room. He picked it up carefully and put it into the black box.
Angel feathers have healing properties and are extremely effective. But he had another reason for putting away the feathers, and at the same time, he used the smell of smoke to cover the holy breath emitted when the angel came. All this was to prevent Lin Yue from knowing that he had summoned an angel.
Because he knew very well that Lin Yue hated Archangel Victor Qin.
2. It was calm for several days. Since then, in just a few days, Lan Xi's personality has become more cheerful, and she has also made friends with some "neutral elements" in the class.
Lin Yue saw all this and felt relieved. He can't escape his memories, and he can't change them, but he can change what's happening.
In fact, it was the little bully Huang Yi who changed the most. He took several days off and did not come to class until today. When he met Lin Yue, he wanted to run away like a ghost. It was even worse than when he met the fierce Teacher Xie. .
When the other boys saw this, they also became scared. Since then, he has not had any interaction with Lan Xi.
Sister Sang has been the focus of the "beauty" topic in the class since the day she arrived.
Maybe the beautiful teacher is a powerful buff for the students. The monthly exam held by the school yesterday and the chemistry results were released this morning showed that in just a few days, the average chemistry score of the whole class increased by 10 points. I don’t know if it is a coincidence. Or something.
Uncle Bin relied on his naturally fierce face to make all the students have to obey, including Class C. This made him feel much more relaxed. However, it has been almost half a month, and the investigation has not progressed yet, and the strange things have not happened again.
There was also no news from Vickin. Uncle Bin believed that it would be difficult for this old friend to confiscate the money. He would definitely go to work after receiving the money, but this would take too long.
In fact, he thinks it's good to spend more time at school for "vacation". The physical education teacher doesn't have to change his homework, and he can take advantage of his free time to pick up single female teachers. He is really happy and carefree.
Anyway, after this incident is resolved, the principal will be paid 200,000 yuan, the police station will also receive additional remuneration, and there will be subsidies from the industry association.
He missed the time when he was studying in the past, but he didn't expect that he would play the role of a teacher when he came to school this time.
Shanshan is always confused, because at first the source of the clue that "there is a demonic breath lurking in Class C" was actually the unrelated Huang Yi. This clue was broken, and she continued to investigate secretly in the school. .
"Huang Yi actually didn't kill anyone. He was just a little gangster. He didn't have the courage, and it probably had nothing to do with the shocking sacrifice. He probably said that that day to scare me, but it didn't do anything." Lin Yue had deduced this.
Lan Xi is the only ordinary person in the school who knows about the existence of Liming Poetry Society except the principal. Because of this, she feels that she is different from others and is a little inexplicably excited. Maybe she can become one of them in the future. member.
Perhaps it was because it had been so peaceful since that "journey to hell" that she subconsciously thought it was just a nightmare she had woken up from. She felt less scared, so she suddenly hoped that they would never leave.
Of course, Lin Yue would not stay in this school after solving the case. She could see that Lin Yue was not suitable for this closed school.
In other words, this school cannot trap the unruly Lin Yue. The first good friend of the opposite sex she made turned out to be a friend who would leave sooner or later, and she didn't know when she would meet again.
Lin Yue felt that being a student was too idle. He just sat in the classroom and listened to lectures every day, and his buttocks almost grew calluses (his ears couldn't bear calluses because he didn't listen to the books at all).
Some teachers gave lectures as if they were reciting scriptures. Once again, he felt that all of these teachers were top-notch musical masters——
A top-notch lullaby player. There is just a lot of homework. Fortunately, this class is a liberal arts class. It is the last liberal arts class this year and does not have as many exercises as science subjects.
While others were reciting political and historical knowledge points, he was sleeping;
While others were reciting ancient poetry material, he was sleeping;
While others were memorizing English words, he slept - but in the English test last month, he shocked the whole class and accidentally scored 149, of which 1 point was deducted because he accidentally used He picked up an Old English word, and the high school English teacher, who was not very good at it, concluded at a glance that the student was making up the word randomly.
So I made an unnecessary stroke on the big red check mark.
But in the end, for him, high school English is like addition and subtraction in kindergarten.
Tomorrow is Saturday, the day when the school "releases prison", which makes him look forward to it.
The next class was physical education. Teacher Xie came to the classroom early during the break to prepare to lead the students to the new class location.
While packing, Lin Yue stopped Lan Xi: "I heard that you like animation very much. There seems to be an animation-themed restaurant opened near here. Do you want to go and check it out tomorrow?"
She thought for a while and said, "Okay."
"Eh? You didn't refuse this time? You said last time that the bad luck would be transmitted to me."
She chuckled: "Thanks to you, all the bad luck has gone away!"
Teacher Xie saw these two people joking and it was almost time for class, so he urged: "Are you two deliberately late? Come on, let me run a few laps to warm up!"
So, a few minutes later, the whole class stared at the two people who were sent to run. Lin Yue was punished by Mr. Xie (Old) Old (Weird) Master (Object) a few times because he was a boy. When he crossed the finish line, his whole body went limp and he ran eight laps.
"Don't rely too much on your magic power. You should exercise more often!" Uncle Bin lectured, and then threw a bottle of water to him as a reward after exercise.
"You fucking old monster, are you trying to mess with me?" Lin Yue complained after drinking the water, and then said: "But look at Lan Xi, she still doesn't blush after running five laps. Those who don’t breathe are so cheating.”
"Five laps are only 2,000 meters. It's just a passing standard, isn't it?" Although Uncle Bin is not an authentic physical education teacher, he still had tutored in these student standards before entering the school.
"Mao, this school only pays attention to scores and does not pay attention to other miscellaneous subjects. You can see that there is only one physical education class a week and not even art and music.
Nowadays, high school students rarely exercise. I have observed other classes in the college and the students probably run a circle just like me now. "
"This means that she usually exercises, unlike you."
"Fuck, I won't tell you this. How's it going?"
Uncle Bin spread his hands helplessly, saying he had no clue. He went to help Wei Qin without telling Lin Yue. This must not be known to Lin Yue, otherwise the other party might fall out.
He planned to take advantage of the weekend to summon Vickin again. "You take a good rest tomorrow and go out for a walk."
3. Weekend.
"What are you holding? A glass ball?"
"Oh, this? This is the Devil's Right Eye that I mentioned before. I think it's quite fun. It's just like playing with the old monster. It's also good to use as a marble."
At this time, Lan Xi and Lin Yue were sitting in a theme restaurant surrounded by anime wallpapers. Lin Yue was playing with two magic props the size of chestnuts in his hands.
It is said to be near the school, but in fact this restaurant is almost two kilometers away from the school.
To be honest, there was a strong otaku atmosphere all around... Lin Yue thought he could see some cool things here, but he lost.
Eighty percent of the people who come here are otakus, and eighty percent of them come here for the beautiful wallpapers and maids.
Lin Yue felt that the second dimension was not as interesting as the third dimension... so he played with the "Devil's Right Eye" in his hand in various ways.
This thing lives up to its name. It was dug out from the corpse of a certain demon king. It is crystal clear and full of magic power.
"It's so beautiful! Can you show it to me?"
Lin Yue handed it over. Lan Xi took it and found that such a small thing was as heavy as a glass of water.
She thought that since it was called the right eye, the world she saw through this right eye would definitely be wonderful.
"It can only be played for fun. I don't need it. You must be a "Holy Blood Witch" to predict the future. "
"What's that?"
"Sigh... To put it simply, there are settings like this in many anime and games. Angels and demons have sex and give birth to a child called Nephilim.
Among them, Nephilim, the boy is called the Son of the Holy Demon, and the girl is called the Holy Blood Witch.
Boys have combat power and magic power that surpasses angels and demons, and girls have abilities beyond angels and demons, besides fighting, and can even..."
After Lin Yue finished explaining, he found that Lan Xi didn't listen at all and felt so bored.
The TV in the restaurant was playing a new cartoon about selling meat that he didn't like at all, and the characters in it were making coquettish sounds.
"Oh, let's go..." Lin Yue wanted to ask Lan Xi to leave, but found that her expression was stiff, mixed with fear and confusion, and she was seeing things with her demon's right eye. "What's wrong?"
"I...I saw..."
"What? How is it possible? What did you see?" Lin Yue just finished the long and smelly explanation, but he didn't expect that it would come true a few seconds later?
"Abandoned...ruins...This place has become ruins, it's on fire, and there are dead people everywhere..." Lan Xi looked around through the glass ball. The scenery she saw was completely different from the real scenery.
The Devil's Right Eye can be used to predict the future 30 seconds later, but it requires very picky conditions for its users.
Lin Yue didn't know why Lan Xi could see the future.
But he completely believed her and immediately stood up and pulled her: "Run away! Hurry!"
"Hey! You want to run away without giving me money?" At this time, a maid cosplayed by an aunt blocked the two of them with her huge body.
"Auntie! Run away!" Lin Yue warned her.
"You called me auntie? You actually called me auntie? I'm only 18 years old this year!" The waiter was so angry that he smoked from his nostrils and vowed not to let them leave even if they gave them money.
Lin Yue took out two pieces of red Mao Zedong from his pocket, crumpled them into a ball and threw them aside.
When the waiter saw this, he immediately changed his mind and grabbed it like a vicious dog pouncing on its food. Then he bowed and said goodbye in a pretended sweet voice: "Welcome -"
The sudden and powerful explosion permanently interrupted the waiter's farewell to the guest.
Lin Yue and Lan Xi walked to the door, but were still inevitably affected by the explosion. He protected Lan Xi, and the two of them hugged each other and were thrown out by the shock wave, smashing the glass door and falling to the street.
Lin Yue woke up a few seconds later and found a strong demonic aura coming from the restaurant filled with fire.
This is not a simple explosion!
He patted his companion: "Are you okay?"
Lan Xi woke up from the shock. She was so frightened that she didn't know what happened. Lin Yue wanted to comfort him, but suddenly, he felt the heat from the ground suddenly spread to the soles of his feet, and realized that the second wave of danger was under his feet!
The next second, dazzling flames burst out from the ground. Fortunately, Lin Yue reacted quickly and helped Lan Xi escape the disaster.
However, this flame explosion seemed to be aimed at the target, staring at the two people and carrying out continuous explosions.
The road Lin Yue walked on, and even the windows and doors around him, exploded without exception.
Lin Yue thought to himself, this devil who casts fire is so bold!
He actually ignored the rules set by the Demon King not to interfere too much with the order of the human world and acted like a child!
But then he realized that he had made a mistake - the demon was not playing for fun, but had the intention to get rid of Lin Yue!
While running, Lan Xi finally calmed down. While following Lin Yue, she used her demon right eye again. This time she looked behind Lin Yue who was running, but what she saw was not Lin Yue.
It was not Lin Yue who was alive, but Lin Yue who fell in a pool of blood, his whole body burned.
Her heart almost stopped.
Lan Xi stopped.
"What's wrong? Run!" Lin Yue turned around and urged his companions.
Instead of panicking, she calmed down instantly. It didn't take long for her to think that Lin Yue had always protected her in the past, and this time it was her turn to help Lin Yue.
There was not much time, so she tried hard to recall the scenery she had just seen from the glass ball, and to find clues to change the future, even if she could not let go.
What she saw was that - thirty seconds later - it should be twenty-five seconds from now - at the next intersection, Lin Yue noticed the high heat in the ground.
But it was too late to escape (because he was holding Lan Xi). In order to prevent her from being attacked by the high-temperature flames, he pushed him away with all his strength, and he was instantly scorched by the high-temperature fire pillar that burst out from the ground.
But in this case, why is there a pool of blood?
Why? Why?
By the way, it should be his own blood... Lan Xi himself cannot avoid death after all...
No, no, what I want to think about is not lamenting my own death, but how to reverse the situation of inevitable death!
Let’s start from the beginning. The explosion chased Lin Yue and Lan Xi like fixed-point tracking.
It was like a rifle shooting "explosive" bullets chasing them both.
In this case, there must be that gunman. Although the gunman did not completely succeed in aiming, the gunman's aiming angle can be said to be from a God's perspective.
Thinking of this, the gunman peered at everything in mid-air.
She remembered the scene of death she had seen through the demon's right eye - the crossroads with fire everywhere, the charred Lin Yue, Lan Xi lying in a pool of blood, and the black shadow in mid-air.
I don’t know if it’s correct, but I can only gamble on this in the last ten seconds!
"Yue, are you sure that you can kill the demon that casts the explosion with one strike?"
"As long as I know where it is!" Lin Yue's judgment was not without basis.
Judging from past combat experience, the stronger the demon's attack power, the weaker its defense capabilities;
And it is estimated that the attack power of this explosion-casting demon hiding behind the scenes is terrifying.
However, Lin Yue's "Blue Cherry" is the nemesis of this high-attack demon, and can kill it with one hit.
The two looked at each other.
Lan Xi's firm eyes seemed to be saying: "Believe me."
What responded to her was Lin Yue's fearless gaze: "If you hadn't said that, I would have completely believed you!"
Based on the previous future scene, Lan Xi corrected the "coordinates" based on the actual situation and deduced its hidden location: "It is behind you now, in the direction of eight o'clock."
"Thank you. This description is too detailed and accurate. I will definitely be able to defeat it!" Lin Yue squatted down and made a sword-drawing gesture, closing his eyes.
An invisible gust of wind swirled around the two of them, protecting them and preparing for an attack.
At this moment when life and death were on the line, Lin Yue suddenly became distracted. Maybe it was because he closed his eyes that he suddenly felt that that person was still alive and around him. This feeling aroused his fighting spirit for the second time, and he drew out an arc of cold blue light with his left hand.
The strong wind melted into three invisible sword energies, which shot out in various directions like boomerangs, and then overlapped at the "coordinate" pointed by Lan Xi.
A strange scream and scream in mid-air told them that they had finally succeeded in knocking down the invisible demon!
Due to a serious injury, he had to take off his invisibility cloak, and what emerged was the bomb demon Foul, who used fire to play pranks on people and was one of the demon king's followers.
Its whole body was covered with flame patterns, and there was an ugly scar on its body. From the scar, you could see that it was not blood and flesh in its body, but some powdery things that were floating outward.
"Don't get in the way! Sacrifice is something you can't touch!" After it warned, it lit a ball of fire from its palm and stuffed it into its own scar.
"Oops! It wants to blow itself up!"
Forful's whole body is made of gunpowder powder, which can easily detonate others and himself. Before the fire and energy appeared, Lin Yue knelt down, and finally protected Lan Xi under him.
The most violent explosion blew away the surrounding vehicles. This area became a flaming hell.
This is like the future in Lan Xi's eyes.
4. "Are you okay? Hello? Hello?"
This is a voice WeChat message Lin Yue sent to Shanshan thirty minutes ago.
She has not contacted anyone from the poetry club in the past few days. It is her usual style to come and go without a trace, but she always kept in touch before.
At this moment, she was on the rooftop of the teaching building, staring at the empty front, lost in thought. Otherwise, with her keen sense of smell, she would definitely have detected the explosion of magic breath two kilometers away.
To talk about the scene when we met Lin Yue, we have to start from a year ago. At that time, he did not live like a hero in novels, a hero saving beauties, joking about picking up girls, and slaying demons. Instead, he was a desolate young man who broke away from the group and spent all day in bars. He had lost his sense of responsibility as a demon detective. , living in confusion, and preparing to die in confusion.
Until Uncle Bin dragged him back to the poetry club and beat him severely. At that time, Shanshan met him.
His words were exaggerated on the surface, but there was something hidden underneath. His eyes were sharp, but there was something hidden.
He acts openly and aboveboard, but he hides something. Every time the demon is defeated and the victory is won, there is something hidden. There is something hidden in everything about him.
She felt that her relationship with him was better than others' relationship with him.
Because from a certain moment on, he started talking to her in words he had never said to anyone else, using a tone he had never used to anyone else.
Early one morning, she found Lin Yue standing on the rooftop, staring at the night sky in front of the railing, with a blank expression on his face. He was sadder and more helpless than others.
He seemed to be looking for a unique existence among the stars.
Legend has it that a person who has passed away will turn into a star and remain in the night sky forever. She didn't know why this sentence suddenly came to her.
At that moment he seemed to be transparent, and people could immediately see what he was thinking.
All the hidden things in the heart are seen clearly.
"I want to seek redemption."
Not knowing what mistakes he made in the past, he wanted to seek redemption and forgiveness. But the person who can forgive and redeem him is already in the night sky forever and cannot come back.
He didn't know what to do. Then he met Shanshan. He was already confused and thought that anyone could save him.
"If possible, I will redeem you on behalf of that person and forgive you." This was her response.
Shanshan self-righteously believed that she had successfully redeemed Lin Yue.
But when she saw Lin Yue standing on the rooftop again one night, and when he became so transparent again, and his helpless expression remained the same, she realized that everything was still where it started. One person is different from the other, and one person cannot become another person.
But she wondered why he would find salvation in Lan Xi?
Are they similar?
In a sense, he is a devil, in order to atone for the sins of the dead person, he protects the person who is similar to the dead person, who is still in the dark and full of joy. Not to protect her because she is her, but to protect her because she is like her.
I don’t know why Shanshan, who has never thought about philosophical issues, came up with such a sentence.
Anyway, she decided to end this false relationship of redemption and being redeemed.
5. "Are you okay? Hello? Hello?"
Listening to Lin Yue's anxious voice calling him to wake up, Lan Xi regained consciousness.
"I'll go! You finally woke up!" Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his head, and then sat down.
"Is this the underworld?"
"If the underworld you imagine is such a blaze of fire, built on the ruins of a crossroads in the world, with vehicle wreckage everywhere, you can't say it's not the case."
She smiled helplessly at the teasing.
Still alive. The two of them thought in unison.
"Is this what you saw from the devil's right eye not long ago?"
"That's not it!" Lan Xi was no longer afraid and spoke loudly, because the scene had passed and would never happen again: "I...I saw you being scorched by the flames, and even your lower body was blown away."
Lin Yue stayed for a few seconds after hearing this, took a breath, and had to admit: "If this is really the case, it would be quite scary."
"It's more than scary! It scared me to death, okay!"
"It's not you who died..."
"Then what's the point of my life!" After she said it, she realized that she seemed to have said something outrageous, so she revised: "No, no... I mean, if I am the only one left alive. , how should I get out of this ruins..."
"Don't explain, I understand, you are a good person."
No, that’s not what she thought, they only knew her for a few days! In order to change the subject, she pretended to look around at the scenery, then looked back at Lin Yue, and then she realized that his left hand was covered in blood.
"Hey! You're hurt! You're still joking!"
Previously, he swung his sword and used his sword energy to deflect the explosion, and this was the only way the two of them survived. Unexpectedly, some flying debris still stung him. "Nothing's wrong..."
"You said it was okay! There is a pool of blood on the ground!"
"..." Lin Yue was silent for a moment, not caring much about his injuries, but thinking about two things in his heart:
First, she can actually use the devil's right eye to predict the future;
Second, she can change the future. According to what she said, she would have turned into a charred corpse. But now, it's just as simple as an injured hand.
"I'm sorry...I caused you to be so seriously injured..." After Lan Xi bandaged him briefly, she turned her face and lowered her head, her mid-length hair falling down covering her face.
"Are you kidding me?"
"You...I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Lan Xi was a little angry. The other party was still in the mood to joke at this dangerous time, and he was still joking with such a solemn apology!
"It was you who saved me. Without you predicting and changing the future, I would have been turned into a roasted lamb by the devil."
She didn't know why her anger suddenly disappeared, and she even started teasing him. "I didn't roast a whole lamb, but the devil did make a "Blood Red Salted Pork Knuckle"! I just committed suicide before I could enjoy it! "
"What a "salty pig's hand"! You have gone too far! I won't play with you anymore! Bye-Bye. "After saying that, Lin Yue stood up and wanted to leave, but he still couldn't stand firmly and sat down immediately.
Lan Xi stopped teasing when he saw this.
The two helped each other out and away from this place where not a single corner was complete.
According to the numerous comments from pedestrians on the roadside, Lin Yue learned that the road back to school was blocked. For the time being, the two of them could not go back unless they took a long detour.
"Let's go to my house first. It's not very far from here." Lan Xi also said that it doesn't matter. Her house is in a large ancestral hall. Several families live together, and strangers often come in and out of the ancestral hall.
But most of them are not bad people, otherwise why would they come to worship them. In fact, guests are welcome at home, although Lan Xi has not brought any classmates or friends here.
Lan Xi also said that her mother specializes in receiving guests. I will definitely not be xenophobic, and I will definitely not look at Lin Yue through colored glasses like the aunts in novels and anime.
Not only that, people on Sixth Street help each other, no matter how small the matter, everyone is happy to help.
Lin Yue also wanted to know something about Lan Xi.
With Lan Xi's help, he checked the wound on his left hand again and prepared to leave after resting for a while. My dominant hand was injured, so it was really inconvenient to do things, but luckily I had a companion with me.
The ancestral hall is located at the corner of a street next door. There is an ancient plaque hanging on the gate, with the words "Hundred Family Ancestral Hall" written in official script.
The layout here is very similar to that of a courtyard house in Beijing, but the difference is that the largest lobby in the center is not used to live in, but to display Buddha statues for people to worship. The ancestral hall brings together all the families with rare surnames to live together, and the Lan family is one of them.
Lan Xi took Lin Yue's arm and appeared at the entrance of the ancestral hall. She happened to meet Lan Xi's mother. She didn't know that Lin Yue was injured and her bandaged left hand was covered by her sleeve.
"Daughter, have you brought your boyfriend back?" Lan Xi's mother said in a rap voice. Then she found that both of them were ashen and smoke-stained, and they were about to get angry: "You kid brought my daughter to do it." ,Well, it’s over!”
When adults see their children (especially daughters) coming back with a stranger of the opposite sex, they will think of a story like this: This gangster took his children out to fight or even do other bad things, and he ended up like this. He is the culprit who brought up his own children!
Lan Xi said he would explain later, it’s not what you think! Then take Lin Yue to a clean room.
While Lan Xi's mother was helping Lin Yue deal with his injuries, she listened to her daughter's explanation. Her tense expression gradually relaxed, and she kept saying, "So that's it, that's it."
Lin Yue no longer felt that the tweezers used by Lan Xi's mother to pick out the wounds were so murderous.
No, Lan Xi suddenly felt that her mother was too calm. She faithfully recounted her previous encounters, including the two being attacked by fire, the appearance of demons, predicting the future, escaping, etc.
Even after telling all about the Styx Road incident earlier, Lan Xi's mother actually took it as a normal accident. Of course, she was definitely worried about her daughter.
"Mom, don't you think it's strange? Monsters and ghosts and whatnot?"
Lin Yue was also drunk. It was the first time he saw an ordinary person who was so calm after hearing the strange news about monsters.
"..." Lan Xi's mother suddenly stopped talking and concentrated on using tweezers to pick out the iron pieces and broken glass involved in Lin Yue's wound, so gently and meticulously.
"Axi, please go and rest for a while. I will go to receive the guests later."
"Well..." Lan Xi left the bedroom. Before leaving, she told Lin Yue not to run around and at least have a good rest today.
The bedroom was extremely quiet at the moment. The only sound was the sound of the tweezers picking up the fragments and placing them on the iron plate.
Suddenly, Lan Xi's mother stopped, and there were still some residual glass shards in the wound on Lin Yue's hand.
Then she began to sob quietly, her hands shaking. She knew her hands would shake, so she had to stop. Lin Yue felt guilty and lowered his head.
"If it weren't for you, Lan Xi wouldn't be able to come back..."
"No, no, to be honest, I'm sorry. I dragged her down and put her in danger."
"You are wrong..." Lan Xi's mother did not mean to blame Lin Yue, "This is fate. Some things cannot be avoided."
These words probably tacitly acknowledged that Lan Xi, including Lan Xi's mother, and even the Lan family were not ordinary people.
"You are not an ordinary person either."
Lin Yue did not deny or admit it, but tried to ask: "Then who am I?"
"You are an exorcist, or demon slayer, who controls ice. I'm really old. I didn't realize this until just now."
Lin Yue felt that it was a bit inappropriate for the young aunt in front of him, who was less than forty (actually less than thirty-five), to say that she was old.
Lan Xi's mother deliberately pulled away from her daughter to clarify the truth, so that she could take a good look at the young man in front of her.
She stared at Lin Yue with clear eyes, and the latter did not avoid this gaze that seemed to pierce the heart and peer into the soul.
In this regard, she admired Lin Yue's perseverance in her heart - this is the quality that a messenger who fights against demons should have.
However, she still felt that Lin Yue seemed to be hiding something.
Mother Lan Xi continued: "The right eye she mentioned is yours. Then you should know that only the" Saint -Blood Witch "family can use this prop to predict the future. "
Lin Yue agreed and added a sentence: "Not only that, she can also change the future, otherwise, at this moment I will not talk to you alive, but have been buried in the sea of fire and turned into a burnt body."
She found that Lin Yue's description of the cruel truth was not covered at all, as if the death had seen through.
But why do such people still have hidden things?
Regardless of this, she continued: "But she is only seventeen years old, and her magic has not been tapped, and" Spirit "is still not so pure. She is not a qualified holy blood witch. "
"But despite this, she still saved my life."
"Fate, how much I hope Lan Xi is not my daughter. But she is indeed my flesh, it is difficult to give up. If she is not my daughter, she will not bear the burden of blood and the fate of tragedy. .”
"Sorry. I shouldn't disturb you. Just a strange thing happened in the Holy Cross College. I accepted the entrustment to solve it. After completion, I left immediately, and I would never expose your trace."
"Even if you and Lan Xi have no encounter, there will be another group of people and Lan Xi who know each other sooner or later, and then get involved in the horrible whirlpool again until the sacrifice. This is our fate. But I am not blaming you, on the contrary, Thank you very much for saving Lanxi. "
"It was just helping each other at the time."
"I don't just mean this." Lan Xi's eyes began to stare outside the window.
"The child has rarely friends since he was a child, and he is not close to his classmates. Until high school, it has been like this, and he never brought friends back to play.
This is the Grand Temple, and the guests are very welcome. Everyone often told Lan Xi that she told her to bring more friends to play.
Also, she has always adversed, accepting good acceptance, and bad ones. Nevertheless, there is usually a smile. But since the second year of high school, she laughed a lot less than usual. "
"It must be because she was bullied by that class in school." Lin Yue thought so, but did not say it. It is estimated that her mother also guessed it. If you do n’t know, do n’t let her mother know.
"But just more than a month ago, she suddenly recovered her usual smile. I guess she was a new friend who knew it. This person should be you. So, I would like to thank you, save her heart of."
She said to Lin Yue sincerely.
In response to the sincerity of Lan Xi's mother, he smiled exhaustedly, saying: "It's not that I saved her. On the contrary, I may be redeemed."
"So ... now I think, even if you are Lan Xi’s boyfriend, I don’t have any disgusting ..."
"..." The original serious and sad atmosphere was broken by a joke of Lan Xi's mother.
"You also know that I am not an ordinary person, and there are some dangerous things around me. Do you bear to put your daughter into a dangerous pit?" Lin Yue helplessly spread his hands, and the movement of this stall only moved the kinetic energy. Right hand.
"What are you doing so seriously?" She opened her mouth slightly and was shocked. "I can believe it when I joke? I don't like to be a matchmaker ... and now I promotes free love. I have to ask my daughter's talent! "
"Auntie, don't make a joke if you get a young age."
Mother Lan Xi heard this sentence, and pulled her tweezers with a large glass piece from the wound.
Lin Yue almost called out a pig -like scream, but fortunately he held back.
"It's a little losing ... the elder sister spared me ..." But then he realized that this did not make him spit, thinking that it was the necessary decisive pull when dealing with the wound.
"I didn't say that I promoted freedom of love. Even if you are engaged in high -risk work, if she likes you, she is willing to" join in a dangerous pit. "I can't stop it. "
"Sister, don't make a joke anymore, you are losing ..."
"I'm not kidding this."
"It's losing ... it's losing ..."
Mother Lan Xi found that Lin Yue was played by herself. "In any case, thank you very much for letting Lan Xi be cheerful again, and thank you for saving her today." After that, calm down, and continued to deal with the wound for Lin Yue.
