On the dinner table.
The food is actually a little cold.
Gu Yuan was watching a short video with Ge Fei next door, which indeed took a lot of time. His second uncle had already come back. After confirming that Gu Yuan's body was indeed fine, he was in a good mood and drank a glass of wine.
Because of work, although my second uncle has a hobby of drinking, he is relatively restrained.
"Mom, there's no jealousy at home!" Gu Chuxue came out of the kitchen and said depressedly, "How can you eat dumplings without being jealous?"
"I'll buy it." Gu Yuan stood up and said.
"Sit down and have a good rest." The second aunt looked sideways at Gu Xiaolei and said, "Xiao Lei, go."
Gu Xiaolei silently put down the dishes and chopsticks. When he heard that there was no jealousy at home, he knew that he had to run errands.
In this family, the family status is Gu Yuan, the family throne is the second aunt, and the family position is Gu Xiaolei.
Gu Yuan glanced at Gu Xiaolei, feeling a little worried.
"I'd better go, Xiao Lei is waiting at home."
"Sit down if I ask you to. The supermarket is right across from the community. What can I have?" the second aunt said immediately.
Gu Xiaolei rolled his eyes.
"I'll give you twenty, and the rest is yours." The second aunt took out the money from her pocket.
Gu Xiaolei was overjoyed and glanced at Gu Yuan.
"You're in a hurry if you keep stealing from me!"
Gu Yuan laughed and scolded: "Look at how hopeless you are."
He thought for a while, the small supermarket was right across from the community. With such a small distance, there was no possibility of any accidents. What's more, the people from the Demon Suppression Department had already moved into the community, so the monster would not dare to cause trouble again.
Holding twenty yuan in hand, Gu Xiaolei was in a good mood, and he could even hear the sound of the Nasdaq bell ringing in his ears.
Taking small steps, he went downstairs, humming a tune all the way to the door of the community. Suddenly, Gu Xiaolei stopped, frowned, and began to look around, as if he was looking for something.
There was a little weirdness on his slightly immature face, and he always felt as if something was staring at him.
He glanced at the passers-by, even the nooks and crannies, and found nothing. He scratched the back of his head and felt that he had been under too much pressure recently, and he had to play five Yasuo games at night to relax.
Crossing the road, he came to a familiar small supermarket. In addition to vinegar, he also picked up a bottle of Oriental leaf drink. He remembered that his brother liked to drink this. Although to Gu Xiaolei, this kind of tea was simply a dark drink, and there was no trace of it. So angry?
In the hot summer, there is no coolness in the evening breeze. The weather in Star City is indeed a bit unbearably hot. The weather forecast says that it will rain for a long time tonight, but Gu Xiaolei does not have the slightest expectation in his heart. After all, where does the rain in Star City come from? The rain is clearly hot water falling from the sky, which does not bring any coolness. On the contrary, it makes the air before the rain extremely dull.
He looked at the drinks in the plastic bag. The plastic bottle he had just taken out from the refrigerator was covered with crystal clear water drops. He swallowed and looked away.
"I bought it for my brother." He thought to himself.
Just as he was crossing the road, he suddenly felt a dazzling light. He subconsciously turned his face and saw a speeding car.
At this moment, Gu Xiaolei's body seemed to be frozen in place, his mind went blank, and he could vaguely hear the screams coming from behind him.
"laugh"!
The friction between the car's tires and the ground left two conspicuous black marks. The man sitting in the driver's seat had blurry eyes, but he reflexively stepped on the brakes frantically, wanting to step directly into the engine.
"Bang" sound.
Gu Xiaolei's body was hit by the car and flew up. His body hit the windshield heavily and flew seven or eight meters away.
The black car finally stopped.
A group of people had gathered around.
"Hurry, officer!"
"Call the emergency number quickly!"
The driver opened the door and got out of the car. His steps were a little shaky and he was swaying as he walked. His originally red face seemed to have turned pale with fright. He was sober from the wine. His legs were trembling slightly, as if he had expected it. to the rest of his miserable life.
"It killed someone... it killed someone..."
With such force of impact, even a cow would be burped.
The driver's mind went blank for a while, and he didn't know what to do at the moment.
But Gu Xiaolei, who was surrounded by the crowd, slowly got up.
There was no bloody scene.
even.
Gu Yuan couldn't even feel the pain coming from his body.
Not to mention the broken leg, broken arm and internal bleeding, he carefully examined his body and found that the most serious injury seemed to be - a split fingernail.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the bracelet around his wrist.
The red hand rope exuded a faint light and gradually turned into a feather. It naturally fell off from the wrist and slowly floated to the ground. However, it ignited a small cluster of flames in mid-air and turned into flying ash.
Except for Gu Xiaolei, no one noticed this scene.
He raised his head and looked around. A group of enthusiastic people were looking at him in disbelief.
Sudden.
Gu Xiaolei's eyes focused on something.
Outside the crowd, a girl in a red skirt was looking at him with concern.
"Red... Cardinal!"
Gu Xiaolei immediately rushed out of the crowd and ran away.
The girl in the red dress turned around and wanted to escape from this place. Her hair was blown by the wind, and the hem of her skirt rippled gently, like a ball of fiery red roses.
"Red Sparrow! Wait for me!"
The girl in the red dress was not slow at all.
He ran after her, but they were both doomed.
She escapes his pursuit, and they are unable to fly.
Finally, we chased each other and came to an alley.
Gu Xiaolei followed in panting, and the girl in the red dress also stopped.
"You don't want to run away, right?" Gu Xiaolei put his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, and his forehead was covered with sweat. "If you don't want to see me, there is no way I can catch you. Right?"
The girl in the red dress looked at the big boy in front of her and pursed her lips, her eyes showing complexity.
"You have something to say to me, right?" Gu Xiaolei asked.
Hong Que was silent for a long time and slowly approached Gu Xiaolei.
"Xiao Lei, do you have anything to ask me?" The girl's voice was pleasant, like a breeze blowing through a wind chime, crisp and sweet.
Gu Xiaolei's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the complexity in his eyes became more and more intense, as if he was experiencing a battle between heaven and man.
"Zhao Miao, was it you who killed him?"
"yes."
Gu Xiaolei's body took two steps back.
He widened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.
Although he already had the answer, he still held an illusion in his heart.
But now.
Hongque's answer completely shattered Gu Xiaolei's fantasy.
"Why...why..." He lowered his head and muttered to himself, looking flustered.
Cardinal took two steps forward.
Gu Xiaolei continued to retreat.
"Don't come over..."
Cardinal's eyes showed sadness.
"Xiao Lei, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Gu Xiaolei's lips turned white and he said nothing.
However, Hongque saw that what flashed in Gu Xiaolei's eyes at this moment was not fear, but anger, and...disappointment.
"Xiao Lei, I came to see you to tell you that you must be careful about your brother. He... he is not a human being! He is very dangerous. He is more dangerous than any monster!" Hongque's tone became more urgent.
