Between life and death [unlimited]

The warm sunlight in the morning shines into the room unimpeded through the half-open window.Those lazy sunlight like golden threads spread lazily in the somewhat messy, but obviously tidied up interior.

And on the bed in the middle of the room was a man who was sleeping soundly, with short black hair finely spread on the white pillow, coupled with his deep and three-dimensional facial features, it made the somewhat messy scene at this moment look unexpectedly The lazy beauty of western oil painting.

It looked like he had slept well this time.Although his skin is pale, his cheeks are still rosy, and the muscles on his face are also in a state of complete relaxation - this should be a good night's sleep without dreams.

But soon, when the sunlight outside the window hit the bed, the eyelashes of the man on the bed moved slightly, as if he would open his eyes at any moment.But in the end, the handsome man just turned over and lay on his side, without directly waking up.

It seemed that he wanted to stretch out his arms to hug something, but he stretched out his arms far away but found nothing - because at this time there was no object around him, only an invisible Just cold air.

Although he fell asleep a little late yesterday, Jiang Lai's biological clock was very competent in waking him up at eight or nine o'clock this morning.

However, what was different from every day was that when Jiang Lai just woke up today, he obviously felt his head hurt very much.It was as if thousands of needles were being pierced into his head at the same time. The pain was so painful that he didn't even dare to open his eyes. He could only close his eyes to feel the pain after the hangover silently. .

But Jiang Shuang couldn't help stretching out his hand in the end, and then pressed his temple hard, trying to relieve the pain from the nerves.Jiang Xun couldn't help thinking, maybe it's because of the aftereffects of drinking too much wine last night...

Jiang Lai vaguely remembered that after returning from the mission yesterday, he seemed to have stalked a seductive woman downstairs in Mingjing Apartment.He followed her aimlessly in the city of survivors for a long time, and then followed her to a speakeasy.But after that, the memory in Jiang Lai's mind became a little confused, and he couldn't remember clearly.

He only had a vague impression of being very noisy there in his mind now, and, he seemed to drink a somewhat sweet cocktail there afterwards?

But how could he not remember the memory after he drank?Jiang Xun couldn't help but began to suspect that the bartender might have secretly added some "ingredients" to the wine he drank... because the taste that would make people feel happy after tasting seemed to still linger in the corner of Jiang Xun's mouth.

This is an evil taste that people can't help but want to be addicted to once they taste it.

But what's strange is that the sweetness left in the corner of his mouth does not only include that kind of wine, but also seems to be mixed with some other taste...

After the "violent massage" of his temples, Jiang Lai's headache symptoms seemed to be relieved a lot. Just when he sat up and opened his eyes, and was about to get up, he felt a strange soft touch of the sheets—not The kind of fabric he usually lives in.

Jiang Lai suddenly realized that he seemed to be in a completely unfamiliar environment now.This cognition also made Jiang Xun suddenly wake up from the chaos.

Jiang Lai hurriedly observed his surroundings.Could it be that he didn't return to the God Blessed Knights last night?Where did he spend the night then?

When he saw the strange yet somewhat familiar furniture nearby, he guessed that this place should be a hotel.After thinking about it carefully again, Jiang Lai suddenly discovered that this was the "Traveler Hotel" he had just entered the living space.

Didn't he go to that "Enfer" speakeasy last night?Why did you lie here after waking up?

Some of the icy air around him hit Jiang Li again, and the bed sheet beside him seemed to still have the body temperature on it.

Jiang Lai suddenly felt that something was missing around him, and a certain place in his heart was also a little empty.This feeling can't be expressed clearly in words, just like he finally got it before, but now he suddenly lost something...

——I always felt as if someone had been lying next to his ear, calling his name softly, that clean and clear voice was like the most attractive existence in the world.

This somewhat daring and erotic thought suddenly flashed in Jiang Xun's mind, and he was immediately startled into a cold sweat by his own thought.However, once he recalled the extremely ambiguous atmosphere at that time, the memories of drunkenness flooded into Jiang Lu's mind like a tide.

Even if what he recalled was only some inconsecutive fragmentary memories, it was enough for him to piece them together quickly, and then Jiang Lai vaguely remembered that after he was drunk last night, he should have met an acquaintance, right?

Moreover, that person... seems to be Si Yufeng?

This piece of memory, which is very likely to be the truth, once appeared in Jiang Lu's mind, it will never go away.His mind was immediately sobered by his own knowledge.

Jiang Lai suddenly realized where his sense of emptiness came from, and what he had lost just now.

As if even the hangover from last night was no longer uncomfortable, Jiang Lai hurriedly put on the pile of clothes that were folded by the bedside.But when he came to the door anxiously and was about to open it and rush out, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"squeak--"

Some old iron doors made a dull sound due to lack of lubricating oil, and then Jiang Li saw Jiang Ke in cold armor walking towards him from the corridor outside with a frosty expression on his face.

As soon as Jiang Ke entered the room, he noticed that Jiang Lai's face was blushing unnaturally at this time, and his breath was a little unsteady, and if he observed more carefully, he would find that there was a lot of sweat on his forehead due to anxiety. beads secreted.

But she didn't mention these anomalies, as if she didn't see them, "You simply clean up and return to the Divine Blessed Knights with me later."

The undulating tone would not embarrass them who were in the same small space, and Jiang Ke didn't talk nonsense to him, but directly handed over a set of silver armor for Jiang Shang to change into.

Jiang Xun's anxious mood just now was also completely disrupted by Jiang Ke who broke into the door, as if a basin of ice water was poured on his head, Jiang Xun's mind immediately calmed down.

However, Jiang Xun did not intend to ask Jiang Ke how he knew he was here, and whether there was another person in his room before...

In the end, he just stretched out his hand in silence, letting the sweat on his forehead slide down his cheeks, silently took over the somewhat heavy set of armor, and watched Jiang Ke leave the room.

After Jiang Lai put on his armor and left the room that had not yet been fully "declassified", Jiang Ke was already standing in the lobby of the "Traveler Hotel" waiting for him.

I don't know where the money earned by this small hotel has been used. Jiang Li still remembers the expensive room fee of 10 gold coins a night, but he is walking now, and the wooden boards under his feet still pass from time to time. There are a few "click-click" noises.

Then, he found that standing at the bar was the fat white man with Down's syndrome.But that little fat man seemed to be very afraid of Jiang Ke.

He stood obediently inside the bar, not daring to move, and there was always a sense of dodge in his eyes, as if he wanted to find a place to hide, but he was troubled by his figure and failed.But the little fat man still didn't dare to look at where Jiang Ke was standing, even Jiang Xun who was wearing the same silver armor, he didn't dare to stare at it all the time.

After seeing Jiang Lai coming out, Jiang Ke said to him in a cold voice, "Let's go, Charles and the others are still waiting for you in the Gods Bless Knights."

Although the tone of voice was the same calm, Jiang Xun could hear the rare harshness in Jiang Ke's tone.

Jiang Xun didn't know what Jiang Ke said just now, and he didn't know why Shire, who was not familiar with him, would wait for him on purpose.Although tens of thousands of ideas and possibilities flashed in his mind, Jiang Shang simply replied, "Okay."

However, after Jiang Shi and Jiang Ke returned to the Divine Blessed Knights in the City of Survivors, the question of why Jiang Ke said that strange thing to him in a seldom harsh tone just now was easily solved.

Jiang Ke took Jiang Lai directly to the office on the fifth floor.But after entering, Jiang Lai found that besides the two of them and James, there were two other people standing in the house—there was Shire, whom Jiang Lai knew during the mission.

Shire is James' confidant, and it is not surprising that he is standing here at the moment. What makes Jiang Xun curious is another person besides Shire—that person also has a typical western traditional appearance, with brown hair and blue eyes. , is very tall, but he is not wearing the uniform armor of the Divine Blessed Knights, he is only wearing a set of ordinary casual clothes.

Jiang Lai thought to himself: This person should not be a member of the God Blessed Knights.But at this moment, he was actually able to stand side by side with the top executives of the Divine Blessed Knights. It seems that this person should have a lot of background.

Although the costumes of the people present were not uniform, the heavy expressions on everyone's faces were surprisingly consistent.

After Jiang Ke and Jiang Shui came in, the air pressure in the house seemed to drop to the lowest point.

In the end, it was Charles who broke the silence.Jiang Lai saw that Charles' eyes suddenly turned red, and his facial muscles began to tremble continuously. He seemed to be trying his best not to explode his temper, and asked Jiang Lai in a forbearing tone.

"Jiang Shui, let me ask you... where did you go last night?" Charles clenched his fists tightly at the moment, with bulging veins on his arms, "Why didn't you return to the Knights after the mission was completed? You didn't come back either..."

Jiang Lai was hesitating how to explain to them what he had experienced yesterday, and whether he wanted to mention what happened after he was drunk last night, when he suddenly heard Charles asked inexplicably, emotionally: "Did you talk to Lan Che yesterday?" Stuttgart together?!"

Jiang Lai was immediately confused by the complicated amount of information. For a while, he really couldn't figure out the meaning of what Charles asked him, but he really didn't meet Lanchester last night, so he was very nervous. Quickly shook his head and replied, "No."

At this moment, James came out to maintain the situation. He persuaded Charles, "Since Jiang Lu has already denied it, and he doesn't seem to be clear about it, this matter should not be done by Jiang Lan. So, Charles, you also Stop doubting our insiders."

After hearing Jiang Lai's answer, Charles was still a little agitated.His tone suddenly became higher and he said to James: "But according to the situation at the scene, it seems that it was done by an acquaintance!"

"Xiare." Jiang Ke suddenly said coldly, "I found Jiang Xun just now. He should have been outside the city last night."

Although Jiang Ke's voice was low, Charles immediately became quieter after hearing it.

"Okay... But, I still think it was done by an acquaintance..." Charles still muttered in a low voice.

But Jiang Shui was completely confused by Shire's question and what James and the others said.Now he can only deduce based on the previous sentence: Could it be that something happened to Lanchester last night?

James on the side seemed to see Jiang Lai's confusion at the moment.So because there were strangers present, he still patiently explained to Jiang Xun in that gentlemanly tone: "I'm very sorry, Jiang Xun, I apologize to you on behalf of Charles. Stuter has a good relationship, so after Lanchester's accident, his mood fluctuated so much. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Naturally, Jiang Lai couldn't care about such things with Charles, so he shook his head greatly to show that he didn't care.But even after hearing James' apology, he still had a question in his heart, and Jiang Lai immediately asked, "Lanchester, did something happen?"

Jiang Xun also made a guess in his own mind.He guessed that Lanchester might have encountered some "accident".

Sure enough, the second after Jiang Lai finished asking, James' typical western face soon showed a complex expression of regret and remorse.

Then Jiang Lai heard James say in a heavy tone: "Lanchester... was killed in the city of survivors last night."

"And according to our investigation, there are no traces of fighting at the scene, so it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime."

Hearing this news, Jiang Lai immediately realized why Charles had that kind of attitude towards him just now—because he did not return to the Divine Blessed Knights last night, and he happened to be with Lanchester Get acquainted in this task.

But it was obvious that Jiang Shui knew that he was not the murderer who killed Lanchester.For some reason, he suddenly remembered the mission that Si Yufeng had mentioned to that enchanting woman yesterday afternoon, about going to Yunhailin.

I don't know if Si Yufeng's mission has something to do with Lanchester's murder?
