zero o'clock

【Fierce Beast Vermilion Grief】

At ten o'clock at night, the lights in the corridor of the soft sleeper car are turned off.

The footsteps of passing passengers could be heard outside the door from time to time, but the two adjacent compartments were always quiet. Li Huan listened for a long time with his ears pricked up. After about ten minutes, people returned to the compartments and everything became quiet.

This high-speed train departs from South Railway Station at 45:[-]. The night train takes about [-] hours, which means it will arrive at a station in Shanghai in the early morning of the next day. If you want to get out, you can only seize the dead of night, and there are very few passengers and conductors. Hours of walking around!

After counting the time, Li Huan couldn't help being surprised again. The car was bound for Shanghai, which meant that Chongye himself was there. Of course, it was also possible that the headquarters of the Demon Subduing Masters Association was also there.

In this way, nine times out of ten, the dragon feels that the time is ripe, so he needs to go to the next step to start the next plan. Perhaps this meeting will be able to know Chong Ye's real purpose.After all, Feng Chi is dead right now, but the man possessed by Yao Yao is still making arrangements for Zhong Ye in an orderly manner, which shows that Feng Chi's coming to the Mei family compound to die was originally part of Chong Ye's plan!

If this is the case... Li Huan pursed his lower lip calmly, thinking that Chong Ye is simply a lunatic!Feng Chi's life and death are completely in his mind - if he lets him live, he can live; if he wants him to die, he has to die.

At this moment, the man sitting on the other side of the lower bunk closed the evening newspaper. The subordinate on the opposite side consciously got up and took the newspaper and put it on the table. Huan said calmly, "Sleep." After finishing speaking, the man raised his chin very gracefully to signal his subordinates to turn off the ceiling light, and he himself took out his mobile phone and played a mobile game of Xiaoxiaole to pass the time.

After the light dimmed, only the pale light source from the mobile phone screen and the childish cartoon background sound of the Match [-] game remained in the entire cubicle.

This taciturn, high-cold guy, who can sit and read the evening paper for hours, actually likes puzzle and casual games?

Li Huan looked at the other party's downcast face with an extremely serious expression, with a broken expression. It seemed that what was displayed on the screen of the phone was not Happy Xiao Xiao Le, but a new job that had yet to be confirmed. deploy.

Perhaps someone's contemptuous gaze was too obvious, the man pressed pause and turned his head slightly to look over.In the darkness, a faint blue demonic light escaped from the depths of his pupils. His gaze was very deep, like a pool of ice-cold pool of water. The demonic light circulated slowly, carrying a mysterious power that was breathtaking.

With just one glance, Li Huan felt as if something soft was wrapped around his neck, tightening slowly with an incomparably gentle force, making people suffocate to death unconsciously.

Then he heard the man say, "What's the matter?"

Li Huan suddenly came to his senses when he heard the sound—it was an illusion.

The wrists that were tightly bound by the shackles moved slowly and unnaturally. This thing restricted the power belonging to Qingluan in his body, and only the remaining little demon power could be used. If the other party's demon rank is not low, then he is completely equal in front of him. For a mortal who has no ability to resist.

Is this... a warning?

Li Huan wasn't sure about the other party's attitude, so he only tentatively said, "I want to talk to you."

The man said: "We have nothing to talk about. In fact, you can guess that I leaned over that child's puppet from the very beginning to enter the tea house on the other side, lurking beside you, waiting for the opportunity to take away the container with the phoenix soul." ——" He paused, then added casually, "That's you."

Li Huan nodded and said, "But there is something I can't figure out."

The man let out a "hmm" flatly, Li Huan saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he said again: "The defensive enchanter teacher at the Bi'an Tea House...is also set by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox himself. If it is attached to the souls of other monsters, then it will not be able to enter the tea house smoothly, what I can't figure out is how did you make the magic of Nine Tails invalid?"

After Li Huan finished speaking, the man did not rush to answer, but winked at the demon subduing master opposite.His subordinate immediately understood, wrapped Du Qiu in a windbreaker, picked up the little guy and walked out of the cubicle quickly.When Li Huan saw this, his heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to get something useful out of this man, at least not to be led by the nose all the time, but if the price was to be separated from Du Qiu, it would be a bit outweighed by the gain. Yes!

As if he had read through his thoughts long ago, the man got up and sat down on the other lower berth next to the table after the compartment door was closed. He picked up the thermos and poured two cups of hot water, and pushed one of the porcelain cups to Li Huan. , then said unhurriedly: "I will stay here forever, and will never leave you every step of the way according to Master Chong Ye, so you should save your little tricks."

Young Master Li, who was directly punctured by someone, didn't feel that he had suffered any blows. This guy was not an ordinary little demon at first glance, if he couldn't even tell anything, then he was really a ghost.He took a sip of hot water to moisten his throat, and said, "Answer my question first, why does the teacher's spell not work for you?"

The man made no sound, didn't answer, and asked instead: "Why do you think it's invalid?"

Li Huan pondered for a moment, and said: "The Bi'an Tea House has been in that alley in Shichahai for hundreds of years. The teacher's black magic has never been flawed. As far as I know, he is the only one who is not restricted by the enchantment and can enter and exit freely. Other than that, only big brother Chi Xiu, second senior sister Qing Ci and me, my little apprentice, are right, as for the previous words—”

Before he had time to finish, the man interjected: "The nine-tailed demon fox is not easy to trust others, even the same kind, so the door of the tea house is always open only to the disciples whom he regards as his confidantes. This has never been the case. exception."

Li Huan heard the meaning behind the words, raised his eyelashes, and gave him a half-smile look, with a playful tone in his tone: "Then according to this, what should Xiao Huan call you? "

"Let me introduce myself," the man smiled leisurely, "My surname is Su, and my name is Yunhe. My body is Zhu Yan, one of the ancient beasts. I worshiped under the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's sect thousands of years ago. Brother Huan, in terms of seniority, you have Call me Third Senior Brother respectfully."

Li Huan vaguely guessed the identity of this man, but when the other party said it himself, he was still shocked.

"Ari said that you died in the pursuit of the demon-subduing master, and the teacher was troubled for a long time because of this, so what's going on?" Li Huan said.

Su Yunhe said: "Of course it's because Master Zhong Ye felt that the time was almost up, and asked me to return to the association under the name of 'being hunted', and then find a chance to return to you without knowing it."

Li Huan's eyebrows tightened, and he shook his head in disbelief: "You have been Chong Ye's person from the beginning? How is this possible..."

"Of course it's possible." Su Yunhe raised his eyebrows slightly, squinted at his junior brother as if unintentionally, and explained patiently, "From ancient times to the present, monsters have been divided into auspicious beasts, fierce beasts and ordinary monsters. It's very common for them to be familiar with each other, don't you also know that the teacher and Qinglong Qingluan two monsters are old acquaintances who have a very deep friendship?"

Li Huan was noncommittal, and it was hard to believe that the teacher would misunderstand the person so easily.

Su Yunhe took out a toffee from his pocket, peeled off the wrapping paper, and brought it to his little junior brother's mouth, saying meaningfully: "I know what you're thinking, the nine-tailed demon fox is really thoughtful, especially when it comes to accepting apprentices." , but don’t forget one thing—I am an ancient fierce beast like him, compared to senior brothers and senior sisters, we are the real kind, and sympathy with each other is the most let people relax their vigilance.”

Li Huan was already hungry, so he was not polite to him. He directly put the toffee into his mouth, and then used his canine teeth to bite hard on the man's soft fingertips. After biting it, he sucked his blood and drank it.

The wet tip of his tongue swept across the wound, and the slippery dampness and heat tightly adhered to his knuckles. Su Yunhe was slightly taken aback, probably because he didn't expect that the junior brother who barely met him for the first time would be so disrespectful to him, but he did not refuse by mistake, just like that Let him suck for a while.

A toffee plus a few milliliters of demon blood, these are just a drop in the bucket for the young master who hasn't eaten all day, Li Huan licked the remaining demon blood with enthusiasm, rolled his eyes slightly, and glanced lightly over the shirt The carotid artery blocked by the stand-up collar, if it weren't for the handcuffs that got in the way, he still wanted to rush over and tear the neck of this monster.

——After all, the level of a demon is not low, and the taste of blood plasma is much better than that of ordinary people~ Thinking about it this way, someone is even hungrier.

Su Yunhe withdrew his hand, and his brows could not help but frowned slightly. He still cared about what his fingers got on, so he hurriedly took a paper towel and wiped it repeatedly, and said, "Teacher really spoiled you, I was originally a demon under Qinglong, and then I was a demon." Having followed him for hundreds of years as the third disciple of Nine Tails, these two demon ranks are not lower than Qingluan, but they have never drank Zhu Yan's demon blood."

Li Huan lazily leaned back on the quilt, tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Brother, you have to think about it from another angle, they haven't drunk your blood, and haven't fed you carrots, have they?"

Su Yunhe: "..."

"Even if I have a ray of soul attached to that half-demon," the third young master whose dark history has been exposed by someone repeatedly corrected him patiently, with a trembling voice, "Your carrots were also fed into the demon's stomach. "

"Oh," Li Huan said, "then do you still remember that I hugged you and smoothed your hair in the yard, and Ari kicked you in the grass and fish pond out of jealousy?"

Su Yunhe: "..."

"Speaking of which," Li Huan suddenly remembered something, and said, "Yao Yao only has a wisp of demon soul, but you give me the feeling that...'complete'?"

Su Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his little junior brother was poisonous, and he was not very calm when he spoke to him. After a long silence, he replied: "The thing that the ghost car is going to sell at the auction is my other two ghosts. soul."

As soon as these words came out, Li Huan was shocked for a moment, but then he thought that since Feng Chi came to the Mei family compound because Chong Ye deliberately let him die, then the auction itself is a game... No!should have been earlier—

"That tea house!" Li Huan felt that he had grasped something important, and looked at his third senior brother hesitantly, "The woman named Xiao Cui said that the owner of the last private room has not appeared for a long time, Feng Chi He is his friend, so he will attend the auction instead of him, could it be that..."

"Yes, I am the owner of the private room who hasn't appeared for a long time." Su Yunhe said frankly, "Actually, the intersection with Liangu in the tea house was unintentional. It is regarded as a blind spot under the teacher's jurisdiction. I got involved just to see how all the monsters in the capital were killed. What this nine-tailed demon fox is doing is to take advantage of his omissions to create opportunities. I never thought that the place would be discovered by you through the mouth of the nightmare, and I never thought that you would personally pretend to be the nightmare to make a deal with the ghost car."

"Feng Chi is suspicious, and he has low self-esteem because of the ruined appearance after his resurrection. He wants to use the private collusion between Nightmare and Ghost Che to please Chong Ye, but he doesn't want to be used by Chong Ye to bring Qing Luan back to life. To put it bluntly, Chong Ye needs It's just a Qingluan fire phoenix, as long as the three souls of Qingluan can be reunited, it doesn't matter whether the personality it shows is you or Fengchi."

At this point, Su Yunhe paused suddenly, and couldn't help recalling what Chongye said that night, and then changed his words: "Not necessarily, he has personally admitted that you inherited the grandparents of Qingluan Huofeng 3000 years ago. It has many advantages, so I believe that you will eventually grow into an adult monster similar to it—Chong Ye said that he is willing to wait for you to grow up."

Li Huan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and it took a long time before he was extremely puzzled and asked, "What exactly does he want to do?"

"Him?" Su Yunhe said with a smile, "That year Qingluan Huofeng failed to become a demon, and was killed by Karma Fire, and the three souls flew away from the body and disappeared for thousands of years. Chongye's greatest long-cherished wish in this life is To make up for the regrets of the past, the regrets of not being able to save Feng Chi." Su Yunhe raised his head to meet Li Huan's eyes, "He just wants to help you become a demon."
