Chapter 99: The Boy and the Sword
On the busy streets, the crowds flowed freely like a never-ending stream. There were sounds everywhere, shouting, laughing, complaining, and the whole street seemed very lively.
At this time, the weather was quite hot, and a certain alley beside the street was full of people who came to enjoy the cool air.
The alley was backlit, and the wind was strong and cool. It was a good place to enjoy the cool air.
Most of the people who came to enjoy the cool air were elderly aunts and children. The children gathered together and wandered around, as if they were playing some games, and they looked very happy.
The aunts sat together and chatted with each other.
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that something happened in Yong'an Street again."
"Isn't it? Alas~ The evil will be punished by the evil, and we ordinary people can only pray for good luck."
"Isn't it?"
I don't know what topic they talked about, and the aunts around all came over.
Suddenly, an old lady waved to everyone, and then lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "But I heard that this time it was because of a child."
"Child? How is it possible? What kind of child can do such a thing?" An old lady heard this and exclaimed loudly.
"Shh - keep your voice down. I just heard these secrets by chance, don't let those people hear them." The old lady who started to speak in a low voice immediately waved her hand and asked the old lady who exclaimed loudly to keep her voice down. "This child is very unusual. He seems to be born with supernatural powers and holds a mysterious blade in his hand. It seems that those people want to catch this child because of the blade in the child's hand."
When this old lady whispered what she heard to others, she didn't realize that there was another person who didn't fit in around her and was listening to her seriously.
——This person is of course Lin Jue.
"That's about it." The old lady finished talking about the secret she heard.
"So that's why, no wonder"
"I see, I see, it looks like things won't be peaceful for a while."
"Hey, it's almost time, it's time to go home for lunch."
Someone's stomach growled, and the aunties realized that it was lunch time.
So they each took their kids home.
At this time, Lin Jue unlocked his stealth mode and called a certain auntie.
"Excuse me, how do I get to Yong'an Street?"
Suddenly someone patted her, and the auntie was startled and turned around to look.
About 1.7 meters tall, with a faint smile on his handsome face, warm and harmless.
The most eye-catching thing is the pair of eyes that look like blooming violets. The deep purple eyes seem to contain endless colors, full of strange magic, and the more you look at them, the easier it is to fall into them.
"Uh, is this question difficult to answer?"
Hearing this, the auntie quickly came back to her senses and pointed in a direction and said: "Ah, you mean Yong'an Street, just go up from that intersection and turn left, then turn right at the first crossroads and you'll arrive."
"Thank you." After Lin Jue thanked her, he continued to move forward in the direction the auntie gave him.
Looking at Lin Jue's departing back, the auntie said to herself in confusion: "Strange, why can't I remember what those eyes looked like just now?"
Shaking her head, the auntie went home.
On the way to Yong'an Street, Lin Jue recalled the expression on the auntie's face when she saw her.
"Could it be that I'm so handsome that I can attract people of all ages?"
After saying this narcissistically, Lin Jue threw away these miscellaneous thoughts.
The most urgent task is to find out what the test of the human world is.
While walking on the street, Lin Jue found that he couldn't walk aimlessly. There were too many pedestrians on the street, and there were all kinds of voices. It was difficult for Lin Jue to find the "information" he wanted from these voices.
It just so happened that Lin Jue found a small alley with a group of aunties sitting in it while walking.
If you want to quickly know all kinds of gossip in a village, the best way is to find a group of aunties sitting in the village.
They are omnipotent and can do anything. Even if there is a mouse in a family in the village, you can get this news from these aunties the next day.
So, Lin Jue had the idea of eavesdropping.
However, it was not a good idea to eavesdrop rashly. The aunties spoke loudly and softly. If Lin Jue wanted to listen closely, he would definitely be discovered. Lin Jue was not familiar with this group of aunties, and it would be difficult to explain when asked.
Mainly because he was afraid of trouble, Lin Jue opened a stealth mode to eavesdrop.
As for the effect, it was quite good.
At least, Lin Jue knew the general situation of this place now.
This place is a town, and it has been peaceful for many years without disasters.
Most of the people in the town are ordinary citizens, living an ordinary and monotonous life.
However, recently, the town has not been peaceful.
A group of bandits from nowhere sneaked into the town.
Their target is a boy and the knife in his hand.
This knife is said to connect heaven and hell, and has unpredictable powers.
Later, the local landlords heard about this and sent people to capture the boy to find out the truth of the rumors.
Just yesterday, the bandits, the people sent by the landlords, and the boy met on Yong'an Street.
Just when the bandits and the people sent by the landlords jointly attacked the boy, the boy swung the knife.
The knife burst out with incredible power, almost destroying the entire Yong'an Street.
Fortunately, the residents of Yongan Street were smart and left immediately, and no one died.
However, the damaged houses on Yongan Street cannot be restored, and it will take at least several months to rebuild them.
Thinking of this, Lin Jue murmured: "As far as the world is concerned, this should be the only unusual thing in this world. In any case, let's go to Yongan Street to see the situation. There is a powerful force in this world, and I have to go there to explore the truth first."
