I Want to Find Him Back
At the end of the thirty-six thousand experint records hid Tan Xin's most affectionate confession.
It was like a fiery rose hidden beneath a heavy iceberg. Only by Hong Xiu patiently peeling away the shaved ice bit by bit could she see the final surprise... or rather, his final true feelings.
The mont this voice sounded, Hong Xiu's eyelashes quivered slightly, and her eyes hazily opened in the darkness...
She had a dream.
She dread that she was wearing a trench coat, standing in a world of ice and snow. A violent explosion hit like the sun coming toward her, but she pinned a man against the wall...
And then...
Hong Xiu slightly turned her head to look beside her. That tongue was no longer making any sound. In the dead silent room, only two streams of clear tears slowly blood on the pillow.
"Was it a dream..." In Hong Xiu's mind, only the voice that had just echoed in her ears remained.
"No, that's not right..."
Hong Xiu abruptly picked up that tongue and rotated it back to the very beginning. A mont later, the emotionless voice sounded again:
"I am Tan Xin, Deputy Director-General of the Aurora Domain Enforcers."
"To prevent the destruction of paper experintal data, I hereby synchronously use the [Rotten Tongue] to preserve the Lord of the Aurora's experintal data..."
"Experint 00001, we will..."
"..."
Tan Xin.
The mont this na sounded, Hong Xiu's heart trembled slightly.
In her current mory, "Tan Xin" was just an older brother next door from her childhood. Although they had so mutual affection when they were children, he died of an illness at the age of fifteen... But now, his na had beco the Deputy Director-General of the Aurora Domain Enforcers.
Moreover, she and Tan Xin still...
Hong Xiu dared not be certain whether the voice she had just heard was a dream or reality.
Hong Xiu's fists clenched tightly. She tried to speed up the tongue, wanting to hear the last sentence directly, but this Ritual Artifact didn't seem to have a fast-forward function and could only start from the beginning.
"Damn it..."
Hong Xiu took a deep breath, sitting up straight on the bed, tossing away all sleepiness, and carefully listened bit by bit.
Ti ticked by minute by minute.
When the tongue repeated up to the thousandth experint, the sound of an old-fashioned alarm clock rang from the head of the bed.
Hong Xiu's eyes were full of bloodshot veins. She checked the ti, knowing that it was ti to encircle and suppress the Rat Party... She didn't turn it off, but directly covered it with the pendant's lid to block the sound from spreading, then hung it back around her neck.
She got up from the bed and stopped in front of the wardrobe.
Under the dim light of the Kerosene Lamp, an old Knight armor was neatly hanging on the wall, while a black Enforcer trench coat lay quietly beside it.
Hong Xiu's gaze swept over the two outfits. After a brief hesitation, as if making so kind of decision...
She grabbed the black Enforcer trench coat and strode out the door.
...
Chen Ling walked down the steps one by one and stood at the entrance of The Church.
It was currently the early hours of the morning, about two hours before sunrise, and also the ti when everyone's guard was at its lowest... Launching the encirclent and suppression of the Rat Party at this ti was the best opportunity.
At this mont, many figures were already waiting at the entrance of The Church. Seeing Chen Ling walking toward them, everyone turned to look.
Among them, there were two figures that Chen Ling was very familiar with.
One was a dark-skinned old man wearing an earth-colored Straw Hat, and the other was a woman wearing a trendy blue beret. Chen Ling had seen them at the banquet last ti.
Fire-Stealer Thief Saints, Huang He, Lan Yu... they were also the leaders of this encirclent and suppression of the Rat Party.
It could be seen that Chi Tong attached great importance to this encirclent and suppression. He dispatched two Rank 8 Thief Saints in one breath, and also had Hong Xiu holding the fort. He was almost determined to uproot them completely.
Huang He didn't greet Chen Ling, only shooting a cold glance at him before looking away. anwhile, Lan Yu carefully looked Chen Ling up and down, seemingly sowhat curious about him.
"Why isn't Hong Xiu here yet?" Huang He was sowhat displeased.
"That one, we can't boss around~" Lan Yu, wearing the beret, rolled her eyes. "That's an Eighth-Order [Asura]... Putting on quite the airs."
"..."
"What a pity. So what if she's an Eighth-Order [Asura], she's still firmly in the King's grasp..."
Before Lan Yu finished speaking, Huang He glared at her. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Chen Ling was still here, so she coldly snorted and stopped talking.
Right at this mont, a red-haired figure walked straight over.
"Yo, finally here."
Hong Xiu ca before the crowd expressionlessly. Her gaze casually swept past Chen Ling, then she looked at Lan Yu and Huang He.
"Let's go." She spoke plainly.
The others didn't sense anything unusual about Hong Xiu. Only Chen Ling, seeing her bloodshot eyes, felt his heart stir slightly.
Since everyone had arrived, Huang He led the group into the cars.
Chen Ling casually found a car and sat down. Since there were quite a few people going out this ti, he naturally didn't need to be the driver himself. When the rest of the ordinary Fire-Stealers saw him in this car, they directly detoured to the cars behind. No one dared to sit with him.
No matter what, Chen Ling's identity was the "World-Ending" Calamity. No one was willing to co into close contact with this guy.
Lan Yu, wearing the beret, glanced outside the car window. After seeing Chen Ling inside, her eyebrows slightly raised... Just as she opened the door preparing to enter, a palm pressed on her shoulder.
Lan Yu frowned, looked back, and saw Hong Xiu's expressionless face.
"What are you doing?" Lan Yu asked grumpily.
"He's the person Chi Tong specifically assigned to protect. Besides , no one else is allowed to get in this car."
"What do you an? Do you think he'll be in danger if I sit with him?"
"My mission is to protect him. I trust no one but myself."
"You..."
Lan Yu wanted to retort, but seeing the faint killing intent revealing in Hong Xiu's eyes, she swallowed her words back... After fiercely glaring at her, she turned and walked towards the vehicles behind.
Hong Xiu waited for her to walk far away before opening Chen Ling's car door.
"Why are you opening my door?" Chen Ling, sitting in the back row, was stunned.
"Go drive."
"..."
Chen Ling rembered that besides the two of them, no one else could sit in this car... The task of driving naturally fell on his head.
Reluctantly, he returned to the driver's seat and started the car. Hong Xiu sat very naturally in the passenger seat. When Huang He and the others' vehicles moved forward, they slowly followed.
It was very quiet inside the car. Chen Ling kept observing Hong Xiu from the corner of his eye. Thinking of the words he said to her today, he planned to probe her again.
"Miss Hong Xiu..."
"What do you need to do?" Hong Xiu spoke calmly.
"...Mm?"
"Today you said that the things I bear are far more important than I currently think, which ans you should know ... I an, the past ."
"You... believe ?"
Hong Xiu didn't answer. She just silently clutched the pendant on her neck. Only after a long while did she look at Chen Ling with red eyes.
"I seem to have lost soone very important." Hong Xiu's voice was sowhat hoarse.
"Now, I want to find him back."
