126, Chapter 126 (1/2)

The sky outside the window was still dark, and it looked as if the commotion just now had never happened.

"What did you do just now?" Lin Gutou stood high up, gritting his teeth and looking down, "I didn't tell you not to move, so you all stay still?"

Okay... I had given instructions before coming here, but he just came out and pushed a window, and everyone in front of him took a step back, and they were all as cowardly as grandsons.

"Didn't I tell you before that it's best to bring those new people here... You're bringing old people here, and although new people are unreliable, at least they know less." The woman in white next to him said.

"What should I do? You have a good relationship with him, why don't you go in and talk to him?" Lin Gutou asked.

"What do you mean?" the woman said, "We came here to surround this place to appease people. If others knew that I went to find him secretly, what's the point of us coming here today?"

While talking, the crowd in front of him became agitated again. Lin Gutou shouted to the front, "What are you doing? Can you be more capable? What happened this time?"

He pushed the people in front of him aside and looked at the house with lights on.

There were several broken windows in the house, and the broken places were covered with newspapers. Lin Gutou knew that the glass was broken when the Hundred Demons Army sneaked into C City that day.

This way of using broken newspapers to cover the windows is quite old-fashioned. He remembered that when he first saw this house as a child, its windows were covered with a layer of window paper, and the glass and other things were installed ten years ago.

Now that the windows are covered with newspapers again, it actually feels a bit like what he remembered.

A person's figure appeared vaguely on the newspaper.

A man's figure.

He sat behind the newspaper, one hand gently on his hair, combing a strand of hair that slipped out accidentally.

He gathered the strand of hair into his palm, and then he meticulously combed the strands on the other side.

"..." Lin Gutou and the woman in white looked at each other, and neither of them said a word.

...

At this time, Yuan Yuanyuan didn't notice the commotion outside. She sat in the house, put the ring on her head, and felt that it didn't look good, so she took it off again, preparing to dismantle it and tie it again.

This tree ring was taught to her by her father... When Yuan Yuanyuan was a child, her father took her out to have fun all day long. Her father was very skillful, the most skillful person Yuan Yuanyuan had ever seen, and he could weave all kinds of things, but Yuan Yuanyuan could only weave such an ugly tree ring.

She was making tree rings at this moment, complaining about herself, and it seemed that she had a little bit of masochistic symptoms... She had been waiting for someone to come for so long, but now that someone really came, she was scared.

Should I run or not? Yuan Yuanyuan thought in a tangled way. Actually, if she wanted to run, she could still run at any time... She was just afraid that if she ran away, she would miss something important.

... Let's wait and see.

Yuan Yuanyuan finally made such a decision. Tiangang Disha Jue was a guarantee. If she ran away, she could still fight. If she slipped away now, she might not know anything. Although there was a certain risk in staying, she was really itching.

She was still making tree rings in her hands. It was not because she was careless and knew nothing about the outside world at this time, but simply because she wanted to cover up her feeling of having nothing to do. Just like a few strangers in an elevator, they are likely to take out their mobile phones to look at useless things to cover up the embarrassment of not knowing each other.

Will they come in later? Yuan Yuanyuan thought. Why don't they come in? What are they doing outside?

...

"What is he doing?" The woman in white outside the window swallowed her saliva.

"Just fiddling with her hair." Lin Gutou said, "I guess she might take out rouge, powder, lipstick and other things in a while... Tsk tsk, the old monster is really fucking particular."

"You're still laughing! Something big is going to happen, you just know how to laugh!" said the woman in white next to her.

"Why can't I laugh?" Lin Gutou said, "I'll laugh even harder in a while, the head of the Li family will be here soon, and it will be exciting then."

"Li Wangzhu? Why is that old man coming here to make trouble at this time?" The woman in white froze for a moment after hearing this.

Her expression at this time was particularly wonderful, as if she had eaten a dead child.

"How would I know that? Before I came here, I saw the head of the Li family constantly pestering the city lord, saying that he wanted to come and take a look." Lin Gutou yawned, "The city lord didn't agree at first, but the head of the Li family was very tough and seemed to have said something. In the end, the city lord couldn't persuade him, so he agreed."

"What did he say?" The woman in white frowned.

"Well... I didn't hear much, just one or two." Lin Gutou said, "But what I heard from them was... that the eldest daughter of the Li family fell in love with that Yuan?"

"The eldest daughter of the Li family... fell in love with Yuan?" The woman in white repeated with difficulty.

... As soon as she said this, she saw that Lin Gutou's expression in front of her became even weirder, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.

"... Which eldest daughter of the Li family? That Li Yumei?" The woman in white said, "I heard that her personality has always been a bit weird, but... this time it's really a bit too much."

"What's the point of passing? I think the girl is quite brave. I'm optimistic about her this time. Maybe she can really pull an old monster back." Lin Gutou said with a stern face: "Do you think if the two of them really succeed... can it be considered a good story?"

While he was talking, there was a commotion in the crowd behind him. He and the woman in white turned their heads at the same time and saw a white-haired old man quietly walking towards this side accompanied by others.

"The city lord promised me to come here." The old man showed Lin Gutou a jade round plate in his hand.

Since seeing the old man, Lin Gutou and the woman in white have been keeping their heads down. When Lin Gutou, who was at the front, heard the old man's words, he didn't even raise his eyes to look at him, "Go in, sir."

He and the woman in white kept their heads down until the white-haired old man passed through the crowd, walked into the small two-story wooden building, and closed the door.

...

Yuan Yuanyuan took out the pipe and added some demon bead powder into it.

She had never been able to light this thing before, but after observing it for a long time in the tavern, she finally figured out how to light it. In fact, this thing cannot be lit with ordinary fire, not even ordinary demon fire, and it must be lit with corrosive magic.

In other words, although this thing is burning, it is actually corrosive in nature... After all, this thing is a collection of demon power, and it is a very hard thing. Basically, the magic that can corrode the demon bead will have the same effect when thrown on the demon.

It took Yuan Yuanyuan a long time to light this thing. She carefully protected the little flame, and then gently put it aside and let it burn by itself.

It was very difficult to turn this thing into powder, so this was the first time she had lit it in such a long time.

The demon bead powder burned very slowly, and when a wisp of white smoke floated out of the smoke outlet, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt that she "saw" a lot of things.

That feeling changed drastically almost in an instant. Yuan Yuanyuan was almost shivered by this feeling, her brain became empty, and she felt like she was on drugs for a moment.

Damn... this feeling...

Everything in the world seemed to be divided into a chessboard, and Yuan Yuanyuan seemed to hear every sound of the chess pieces falling on it clearly.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt it for a while, and suddenly covered her face silently. If she had known this, why would she have gone to such great lengths to learn the chessboard formula... She was almost going crazy learning that thing, but in the end, it was not as effective as a small handful of demon bead powder.

She didn't know if this demon bead powder had any other effects, anyway, she felt that the effect of this thing was more than one level better than the kerosene lamp... In fact, it was more than one level better than the one in the tavern, maybe because she used more demon bead powder?

Things that she hadn't "seen" before, now all "seen", Yuan Yuanyuan saw the monsters hidden under the "black sky", just now she guessed that there were still a hundred or so, but now she looked again and found that there were only dozens.

It's okay... not as scary as she thought.

These heartbeats were clearly mixed together, but Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why she could tell them apart. Even she herself found this feeling incredible.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

Just when Yuan Yuanyuan was trying this feeling for the first time, she suddenly noticed someone coming over.

Yuan Yuanyuan sat up straight in an instant, threw the broken tree ring next to her aside, and then looked at the door nervously.

After waiting all night... it was already this time, someone finally came over.

Who could this person be?

The moment the door was pushed open, Yuan Yuanyuan thought of many scenes. She thought that the person who came might be the one who passed the message to her that day, or it might be an acquaintance she had met before, so when she saw the old man who pushed the door in front of her, she tensed up all of a sudden.

"You look... the same as before." The old man who pushed the door in looked at Yuan Yuanyuan who was sitting there, "But I'm old."

...

Who the hell is this person?

The first sentence that flashed through Yuan Yuanyuan's mind was this.

The second sentence that flashed through her mind was, "Damn! I caught a big fish!"

This... how to say, hard work does not convince those who work hard, she didn't stay here for so long in vain.

This person must be powerful, so he can bring so many people to block her. It is estimated that she just stuck her head out and was exposed outside. There is no point in hiding, so this old man decided to come out.

Then she seems to have... accidentally done a good thing.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it for a while and came up with such a guess that she thought was very reliable. Although it is somewhat different from the facts, these things are actually not that important now.

She prepared a bunch of tricks to get the first person to come in, and they finally came in handy at this time, so she kept looking at the old man opposite, ready to decide what she would say next based on her reaction.

The old man did not get to the point as Yuan Yuanyuan expected, and his opening words were like old friends reminiscing about the past, "Yuan, your personality has changed a lot over the years."

[To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. ]

——Old friend, or... old acquaintance?

It must be said that his opening words were enough to make Yuan Yuanyuan, the fake, feel a little nervous, but she knew in her heart that this did not mean that she was exposed now, it should be just a reminiscing between old friends. In fact, if she was exposed, the other party would not say such words.

She sat still on the chair, and after three seconds of silence, she said, "People always change. Aren't you the same now?"

The old man opposite seemed to smile. He pulled out a chair and sat down, then looked at Yuan Yuanyuan and said, "It seems that I have changed more. At least I thought you would jump up from the chair when you saw me."

Yuan Yuanyuan frantically searched for traces of the person in front of her in her mind during this time, but she couldn't find any results no matter what.

The old man in front of her gave people a very comfortable feeling, and he was a kind of immortal.

In short, the first time Yuan Yuanyuan saw him, the impression in her mind was that he was kind.

He was a little too kind.

Yuan Yuanyuan pondered for a while, this old man...why was he so kind that it was scary?

"I think you will hate me." The old man said, "I'm sorry about Qiuying's incident that year. I didn't prepare things well enough."

"But there is one thing." The old man suddenly came over, "Why did you come back again?"

At that moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the room.

The old man in front of him disappeared, and a man wearing the same clothes as the old man stood in the middle of the room.

His face looked very white, and his lips looked very bright red.

His hair was raised high by a crown, and his black hair was scattered like the best tassels.

This scene was a bit absurd... It was like the time-lapse editing in a TV series, similar facial features, similar clothes... Similar people.

It was as if at this moment, time went back a hundred years ago.

Yuan Yuanyuan's hands on the chair clenched suddenly.

She looked at the person opposite her, and suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.

That kind of anger... is uncontrollable, and it is also something that ordinary people cannot experience. The reason why Yuan Yuanyuan was so angry was because she finally recognized the person in front of her.

It's him!

It's, of course, him!

...

Separated by a layer of paper, it naturally doesn't feel that deep, but when the person in the paper comes in front of her, that kind of emotion is just like an erupting volcano, which is completely uncontrollable.

For a moment, Yuan Yuanyuan's throat seemed to have a taste of blood.

It was... him.

It was this person.

He was here now.

Why was she so angry?

This was the first time she had been so angry since she grew up... and it was because of a "stranger" she had never met.

... Is he a stranger?

I guess so.

The man pulled a bench next to him and sat there casually. His posture was particularly good-looking when he sat there. I can only say that time is really a magical thing. That old man was such a person back then.

"You are very smart. You have been silent since you came back." The man said, "But the smartest thing you can do is not to come back at all."

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that her mind was blank. If she didn't say anything, outsiders wouldn't be able to see it. At this time, she even had tinnitus in her ears.

There was a buzzing sound that kept lingering, but it didn't go away.

However... for some reason, she suddenly relaxed all over.

It was as if all the strength in her body was suddenly taken away, and she seemed to be walking on the clouds.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan picked up the pipe that was placed aside, and like the man in front of her, she suddenly sat lazily on the chair and took a light puff.

The smoke lingered along the center of the room and rose to the sky.

From the outside...the room seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, blurry, like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
