Chapter 69 Intuition

"Master, I'll tell you later. I have to go out for a while first."

Lu Yuan ended the conversation with Lu Yueping unilaterally, picked up the book he put aside and hurried out the door.

"You want to come back for dinner tonight? I'll cook fish for you tonight!"

"knew!"

...

The journey is not far at all.

Waiting at the end of their street, at the intersection.

After waiting for a while, a taxi stopped in front of him.

The car door opened, and Lu Yuan hurriedly reached over to support the girl inside who was holding a bulging schoolbag.

"Thank you~"

Cheng Yue trudged out of the car with her head lowered, and the sides of her cheeks were slightly red.

Lu Yuan said it was okay, and then wanted to go up and help her pay the fare, but the taxi ran away in a flash. It was probably the taxi hailed on the app.

"I'll get it."

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to take the schoolbag from Cheng Yue's arms, opened the zipper of the schoolbag, and saw that there were about eight or nine books inside.

He took out the book inside and then put the book in his hand inside.

While looking at the catalog of these books.

"The Epic of Salaner"

"Changes in Geography and Landforms (from Medieval Times to Modern Times)"

"Barbarism and Civilization"

"Into the Baishan Era"

........

Basically, they were all books he wanted to borrow, and there were a few books that were unfamiliar but interesting to him just by looking at their titles.

Cheng Yue helped hold the schoolbag aside and whispered: "Two books have been borrowed. I checked the return date, and it will be around next Wednesday.

When the time comes, I will call you in advance to urge you..."

"Thank you, Sister Cheng Yue."

Lu Yuan sincerely thanked Cheng Yue.

During this time, he didn't dare to go too far from home, so he asked Cheng Yue, who worked part-time in the library, to borrow books for him.

It was troublesome for Cheng Yue to deliver it to him personally every time, which made Lu Yuan both grateful and embarrassed.

"I'll treat you to dinner in a while, Sister Cheng Yue."

Lu Yuan said to Cheng Yue seriously: "No matter where the restaurant is, you can choose it."

"That's so arrogant. You can choose whatever you want. What if I choose something very expensive..."

Cheng Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after hearing this, "I'm afraid I can't afford the money. I'm still in high school... little brother."

When Cheng Yue said the word "high school", her tone unconsciously contained a hint of regret or something, but she soon returned to normal.

"Yes, I'm serious, you can eat wherever you want then."

Lu Yuan emphasized once, then put the replaced book that Cheng Yue was going to take back in his backpack, zipped it up, and carried it on his back.

"I'll call a cab for you."

Lu Yuan directly took out his mobile phone and used the app to call Cheng Yue a taxi.

Cheng Yue didn't refuse, pouted, and stood side by side with Lu Yuan with her hands behind her back.

Occasionally, I would glance towards the other end of the street, as if counting which house would be the far away home.

"Do you want to eat gum?"

Cheng Yue suddenly took out a pack of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan shook his head, and she stuffed it into her mouth.

"You asked me before about the ancient religion related to crows... Well. I asked my senior brother."

Cheng Yue was chewing gum while talking to Lu Yuan.

"What did senior brother say?"

When Lu Yuan heard this, his eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately put down the phone in his hand and looked at Cheng Yue.

"He said he didn't know either."

Cheng Yue shook her head and said: "The crow is almost a universal symbol of cults, and many weird sects have something to do with crows.

If you look into it carefully, there are too many to check..."

"All right."

Lu Yuan was not too disappointed, it was just a casual question.

Cheng Yue asked curiously: "Are you studying this because of the recent bombing?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

Cheng Yue took out her phone and said, "I'm paying attention too.

I heard that the chemical plant that had the accident in the south of the city was a mass burial cemetery many years ago, where many people died. The crows were used to eating dead human flesh there, and they never left.

This explosion was caused by workers seeing something unclean while working..."

Lu Yuan listened to Cheng Yue's words without any emotion on his face.

He had heard countless versions of rumors like this in the past few days.

The chemical plant explosion in the south of the city gave it a strong and strange color because of the involvement of a large number of crows.

The rumors on the Internet became more and more bizarre, forcing the official to go out and refute the rumors in person.

Whether it was the cause of the explosion or the existence of crows... they all gave a reasonably reasonable explanation.

Lu Yuan didn't have much energy to distinguish the true from the false on the Internet. He was just curious.

His intuition told him that the truth of this matter was not that simple.

Because just before the explosion... he happened to see a shuttle passing overhead.

"It is probably related to the missing persons case that has not been solved yet..."

Lu Yuan had such a guess in his mind.

"Tail number 7499..."

At this time, a taxi stopped in front of the two people.

The taxi driver honked his horn and stuck his head out of the window to ask.

"yes."

Lu Yuan responded and then sent Cheng Yue into the car.

Cheng Yue sat in the car and waved to Lu Yuan, with a reluctant look in her smile that made Lu Yuan seem to see his sister Lu Jing in a trance.

He subconsciously picked up his phone and opened the chat history with his elder sister Lu Jing.

[I'll call you later. ]

The last sentence was sent by Lu Jing in the afternoon two days ago.

As usual, I postponed it.

Clicking on Lu Jing's profile picture, the daily archaeological sharing and the scenery photos of Xixu in the circle of friends were frozen on a certain day two weeks ago.

So.......

"Lu Jing, what exactly have you experienced during this period of time?......."

Lu Yuan murmured, and finally silently put on his backpack and walked towards home.

........

"Shua——"

"Shua——Shua——"

"Pa——"

It was like a low whistling sound of a heavy axe chopping through the air, occasionally accompanied by a crisp sound like firecrackers.

Lu Yuan stood on the rooftop, his eyes focused, and kept making punches or kicks in the air.

It seemed that there was an invisible and powerful opponent in front of him.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes became sharp.

The force on his legs suddenly increased, and the low whistling sound that broke through the air suddenly became sharp.

This kick hit the huge cement pier like a battle axe.

"Bang——"

"Crack, crack——"

After this kick, the cement pier made a dull loud noise, and several clear and narrow cracks appeared at the bottom where it was connected to the ground.

It was as if it was hit hard by some giant beast.

Lu Yuan stopped, leaned down and gently rubbed the calf of the leg that had just kicked out with both hands, and a slight inhalation sound came out of his mouth.

"Hiss——"

The sound of pain.

"After the agility was improved, my punching and leg strength did improve a lot.

But I feel that my physical fitness can't keep up. The basic four-dimensional attributes really complement each other and are indispensable..."

Lu Yuan touched the cement pier in front of him that served as a target.

I don't know what this thing was left behind. It has a diameter of two meters and a height of one and a half meters. The whole concrete is solid, which can just serve as a punching pile for him.

He tied a dozen thick layers of cardboard, quilts, old clothes, and rubber skin on one side of the cement pier, and added cotton wool, sand and other fillings in the middle.

But sometimes he would feel pain if he used too much force.

Lu Yuan had almost finished kneading it and stood up from the ground.

He walked to the edge of the rooftop and saw a child standing on the balcony on the fourth floor of the residential building next door.

He seemed to be looking at him with a telescope in his hand.

He squinted his eyes, trying to see more carefully, but it seemed to scare the other person.

The child holding the telescope quickly retreated back to the room in shock and pulled the curtains tight.

After a while, even the lights in the room went out.
