The two chatted for a few more words, and then the old black monster said goodbye and jumped out of the window.
After the black monster left, Chen Xing lay on the sofa and played with the dagger in his hand. On one side of the wooden handle are engraved two ancient Chinese characters - JIANGCHANG. Just the name alone gives me a bloody feeling. Pull out the dagger. The blade is less than two fingers wide and about twelve or thirteen centimeters long. It has a blade on one side. It is delicate and small, but sharp and sharp.
To be precise, this is not a dagger, but a "ripper".
Chen Xing tried to input spiritual energy. During a pause for breath, a layer of light blue appeared on the blade, and then he waved his hand casually, and a cold light flashed across the armrest of the sofa.
About half a second later, the front half of the armrest slowly dislocated, and then slid to the ground with a "snap" sound. When he leaned over and looked at it, the cut was smooth and flat, like a block of tofu.
"No..." Chen Xing's eyes widened and he looked at the dagger in his hand in disbelief, as if he was frightened by its sharpness. If the old black monster had used it to deal with him, with a slight pull, his head would have fallen to the ground, and even ten Yeyang Bailiu would not have been able to save him.
After being stunned for a long time, the spiritual energy in the knife gradually dissipated. Chen Xing finally came to his senses, inserted the knife back into the leather sheath, fixed it with a leather buckle, and tied it to the belt at his waist. With this ripper, at critical moments, there may be unexpected effects.
In the evening, Su Muzhu cooked a sumptuous dinner to reward the four winners of the competition. During the dinner, Su Xuefei went upstairs to play a song to celebrate the victory. After having a pleasant meal and having enough wine, they each went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, before Chen Xing woke up, he was woken up by Aqiaomu's knock on the door.
"We have contacted Danny. There will be a batch of fertilizer leaving the city the day after tomorrow. We can mix it in and leave."
"Can we meet beforehand?" Chen Xing asked cautiously.
"Tomorrow night." A Qiaomu replied.
Chen Xing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He must leave Crow City as soon as possible. If he is discovered by other members of the Yang family, he will be unable to fly.
Thinking of leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of reluctance in his heart. That innocent and kind girl once again awakened his memory. The tenderness in the small hotel appeared in front of him all the time, holding him back.
Leave some money, maybe she will find a better way out...
As if he was deceiving himself, he convinced himself, took out half a bag of gold coins, placed it on the piano, and covered it with piano cloth.
Apart from this, he could think of no other way. Today, he is no longer the lonely little mercenary he used to be. He felt concerned that there were at least two people waiting for him thousands of kilometers away. Everything comes in a first-come, first-served manner. In this life, they no longer belong to each other.
Let the past pass with the wind.
Chen Xing sat on the sofa all day, staring out the window. From noon to evening, the sun set, the moon rose, and the stars were shining brightly.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep...
"Boom!" "Rumble..." "Crack... crack!" "Crash..."
"Crackling... crackling... crackling..."
In the middle of the night, he was awakened by a continuous noise. When I opened my eyes, the window was red.
Little sparks drifted into the room with the wind, and a heat wave hit him. He got up involuntarily, walked to the window, and looked out. Everywhere he looked, there was a sea of fire.
The entire city was burning, and the skyscrapers in the distance were slowly tilting, then suddenly collapsed and turned into raging flames.
The clouds were dyed red by the firelight and stretched for dozens of kilometers, with no end in sight.
People kept running through the alley below, either panicking or dragging their families with them, crying, cursing, and roaring, and it was a chaotic mess.
Chen Xing got out of the window and jumped down. This is the second floor, not high from the ground.
"Oh my God, what happened!" "It's over, nothing is gone, nothing is gone..." "God's punishment, it's God's punishment, the end of the world is coming!" "No, no, no more, stay alive. It’s important, run!”
The crowd passed by, making all kinds of noises.
Suddenly, a huge pressure descended from the sky, making it suffocating. Immediately afterwards, a red beam of light shot out from the clouds. Everyone stopped and remained silent. The beam of light was extremely thick, like a stone pillar hugged by several people. With a "fierce" sound, it streaked across from near to far. Wherever he went, houses were burned down and bricks and stones were vaporized, as if the end was coming and both heaven and earth would be destroyed.
Chen Xing subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the red clouds, golden light flows, and a huge outline is slowly emerging. It turns out to be a sphere with a diameter of a kilometer.
A golden vertical seam split from the middle of the sphere, and the beam of light shot out from inside.
When he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but feel weak and almost fell down.
What was hanging in the sky turned out to be a huge eyeball, and a word was about to come out.
The world-destroying demonic eye!
"I said, as for..."
The corners of Chen Xing's mouth twitched and he said to himself. In order to take revenge on him, she actually wanted to destroy the entire city. This woman is too perverted.
etc!
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he quickly calmed down. Aaliyah's target is not him. Given his character, if he really wants to kill him, he will definitely make a declaration and say a few arrogant words before taking action, otherwise he will not understand his hatred.
So, why did Aaliyah want to burn down Crow City?
The answer is not difficult to guess. He remembered that when they were in the Black Death Forest, Aaliya once told him that her adoptive mother took her to hide in Tibet, first escaping to Changwei City in the Black Feather Principality, and then moved to many places in order to avoid being hunted. Eventually she was raised. When she was fifteen, her adoptive mother died in a fire, and their last place of residence was Crow City.
There are many doubts here.
The maid of the princess of the Western Continent will definitely not be too short of money, and in order to hide her from others and reduce contact with her neighbors, she will definitely choose to buy a small single-family building in the suburbs and live a simple and secluded life.
How could you not escape when a fire broke out? To put it bluntly, even if you can't escape, in a modern metropolis like Crow City, the system is monitored 24 hours a day, and the patrol police can come to the door within ten minutes. Isn't it possible that the firetruck can't catch up?
This matter can only be the result of many parties. The top brass of Crow City must have been involved, and even surrounded the house, trapped the mother and daughter inside, and burned them alive. So after Aaliya gained strength, she was the first to attack Crow City.
Thanks to Chen Xing's help, Aaliyah's process of seizing the Dark Demon Crystal Core went much more smoothly, so she was promoted to King Level three years early, and the fire in Crow City was also three years early.
After thinking about this clearly, Chen Xing quickly walked back to the main entrance of Nuanxin Building, preparing to pack his things and call others to leave.
As soon as he reached the door, a figure came out and passed him. Turning around, he saw it was Ah Qiaomu.
"How did you..." Chen Xing frowned mid-sentence.
Aqiaomu's clothes were stained with blood. He looked back at him with a bit of caution in his eyes. He backed away slowly, then turned and left. Although he felt strange, Chen Xing had no time to stop him. He rushed directly into the front hall and climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
"Xue Fei, hurry up and get the fire extinguisher." "Mom, hurry up!"
As soon as he took out the things, Chen Xing heard the mother and daughter shouting downstairs.
"Boss, Danny is dead!" Cassie ran over and said in a panic.
"What!" Chen Xing was shocked and came to Danny's room with Cassie. I saw Danny lying on his back on the bed, his hands handcuffed to the iron frame bed, his throat slit, blood spurting all over the bed, his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, refusing to rest in silence.
"Yes, it was Aqiaomu who did it..." Cassie said tremblingly. It seemed a bit difficult for him to accept. Chen Xing could understand that the companion who was chatting and laughing yesterday actually killed another companion today.
The two rummaged through Danny's things and found that gold coins and valuables had been taken away. It is not difficult to guess that Aqiaomu is in it for money.
"Let's go..." Chen Xing sighed, closed Danny's eyes, and came downstairs. Su Muzhu and Su Xuefei were tugging at each other. The former had disheveled hair and looked crazy, while the latter had tears in her eyes and was trying her best to tug on her mother. The three wandering orioles were also trying to persuade her.
"Sister Azhu, leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late." "Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood." "Sister Azhu, even if you change places, we three sisters will still follow you."
"This is my house, my house, my house!" Su Muzhu couldn't grab the fire extinguisher, so she sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Chen Xing walked over and slapped Su Muchu on the face, knocking her unconscious.
"Hurry up and pack your things, I'll take you away, hurry up!" Chen Xing's eyes were red, and when he saw a few people still standing there, he yelled, "Hurry up!"
"My mirror, my necklace..." Su Muchu finally came to her senses and rushed upstairs to pack her things.
"Cassie, what are your plans?" Chen Xing asked.
"Wherever the boss goes, I will go." Cassie said.
"Thank you!" Chen Xing stretched out his hand to Cassie and said seriously. The two held hands together, and then a discordant voice rushed out from the black mouth and white teeth, "Disaster commission, two hundred gold."
"One hundred." Chen Xing said angrily.
"Okay, deal!" Cassie made a double-gun gesture.
