sin city redemption

, Lu Xuan didn't answer.

"Have you met Zhuo Wenxin and the others?"

"Um."

Liu Huo smiled, "After more than two years, things have changed."

Lu Xuan raised her eyebrows, "Are you mocking me?"

Liuhuo shook his head. "I know, you will definitely come back."

"Then you're showing off to me?" Lu Xuan glanced at him angrily.

After walking a few more steps, Liu Huo suddenly stopped, and a sentence came out of nowhere, "Guan Junyan and Yun Chuyang were buried by me."

Lu Xuan was taken aback, then stopped, and turned to look at him.

Liuhuo stared straight at him. "I buried them together, that's Sen's idea."

Lu Xuan was silent for a few seconds, as if she was digesting this fact, and then hooked her lower lip in an inexplicable feeling.

"At this time, he is very kind."

Liu Huo didn't refute him, but scratched his hair irritably. "You know, I can never forget the way Guan Junyan is protecting Yun Chuyang's head." That image is always in his mind like a freeze frame, he thinks it is a sin, and even wants Guan Junyan and Yun Chu Yang woke up and said good-bye to them.

Lu Xuan wanted to say that he couldn't forget the scene when he saw Yun Chuyang's body, but he didn't say anything.

"You can only be together if you die. What is this?" Liu Huo frowned, "But this may be the best ending for them. Yun Chuyang has messed up the destiny, and if he doesn't suffer retribution in this life, he will definitely not be punished in the next life." It will be better, and the last way of death can be regarded as atonement."

Sen also told him this, Lu Xuan didn't want to investigate the truth, he would rather believe it was true.

"As for Guan Junyan, in fact, every time before he goes on a mission, Yun Chuyang will secretly tell Sen to be careful about someone or something, otherwise he wouldn't be alive."

These words were completely beyond Lu Xuan's expectation.

It seemed that after a long period of repression, now that the person concerned was gone, he wanted to tell the whole story, so he lowered his head and continued to tell everything he knew.

"He said he wouldn't help his acquaintances see the future, but he couldn't help watching it again and again for Guan Junyan, because he couldn't see Guan Junyan's death, so in the end he had to drag the two of them deeper and deeper together."

Lu Xuan didn't blame Guan Junyan, it should be said that it was a matter between him and Yun Chuyang after all, they were bystanders, and they might never know the extent of the relationship between the two of them, whether the final result was good or bad, None of them have the right to define.

Finally, Liu Huo half-jokingly said: "Lu Xuan, if someone can bury me when I die, I will be content."

Lu Xuan glared at him, "You think beautifully!"

Liuhuo laughed loudly, "I know you have no conscience, and I don't count on you!"

While giggling, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she had a tree climbing competition with Liu Huo, and whoever lost would have to be ridden by another person.

Even if they were children, it was naive for them to play that at that age, but they still enjoyed it, because they finally helped each other find some belated childhood happiness in their boring lives.

And now there seems to be a pleasant feeling of going back to the past between them.

In the lobby, Sen was already sitting and waiting for them, but he was the only one on the dining table that could accommodate dozens of people at the same time.

"Where is my brother?" Lu Xuan asked.

"He's not feeling well and won't eat," Sen said.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to sit down, she stopped when she heard the words, "Then I'll go and see him—"

"No, he's asleep." Sen raised his chin, "Sit down." His attitude was too strong to be violated.

So Lu Xuan had to sit down, but suddenly thought of another person. "Where's Shang Shan?"

Liuhuo also looked at Sen.

Sen picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said casually, "He's not here."

What followed was a silent and eerie meal.

It is very boring for three men to eat, especially Sen is particularly gloomy today, and the mood of Ruhuo, who usually talks the most, is obviously not in a good mood, eating is more active than talking.

Because of this, the food seemed to have become tasteless, but Lu Xuan wanted to eat again, because it had been a long time since so many people ate together.

After the meal was over and he put down his chopsticks, Sen finally spoke.

"Lu Xuan, you just came back, take a good rest tonight."

Rest again?Lu Xuan felt that she was very energetic now, "I actually—"

"I'll talk about it tomorrow." Standing up and leaving this sentence, Sen left the hall.

Lu Xuan and Liu Huo who were left behind looked at each other, and the latter smiled innocently.

Back in his room, Lu Xuan lay on the bed and began to think about the past, about Zhou Mingxiao, about Sen, as well as You Hao and You Zuo, almost everyone he knew, including Shen Chuan, but what I remember most clearly is that snowy day.

In the snow-white world, this time he saw a small figure running happily in the snow, while Shen Chuan stood behind him, following him slowly, he could even see the smile on the corner of Shen Chuan's mouth, And gentle eyes.

"Slow down, don't fall—"

Lu Xuan, who fell into sleep at some point, opened her eyes suddenly and slowly woke up.

He still remembers the scene in the dream, but how old was he at that time?Frowning, he thought about how big he was in his dream and what Shen Chuan looked like.

After thinking for a while, he subconsciously looked down at his hand, thinking that he might always be like this in the future, and somehow felt a little funny.

It seemed that she would not be able to sleep any more, thinking too much and feeling annoyed, so Lu Xuan simply got out of bed and lit a cigarette.

Smoking, he went to the window and pushed it open. The moon was in the sky outside, and it was not too late. The moon seemed clearer than he had seen anywhere in the past two years.

Leaning against the window, Lu Xuan smoked a cigarette one after another, looked at the moon, and unconsciously recalled the dream just now in her mind.

That was not a dream, but something that really happened, when he was young.

Suddenly, a small sound interrupted his thinking.

Lu Xuan frowned lightly and looked towards the source of the sound, and found that something was moving. Just as she lowered her head to take a closer look, she saw a figure climbing up the tree trunk. Although it was not clear who it was, but It can be seen that the opponent's technology is very skilled.

Knowing that it was not a thief, Lu Xuan smiled, thinking it was a fire.

But when the man slowly approached, the smile gradually disappeared from his face.

I saw the man wearing a serious suit and leather shoes, stepping on the tree trunk skillfully to the window where Lu Xuan was, it was like a romantic plot only in a movie.

"What's wrong?" Shen Chuan asked with a smile, "Not happy to see me?"

Leaving aside whether Gao is happy or not, this way of appearing on stage is too... amazing.The cigarette near Lu Xuan's mouth almost fell due to sluggishness, looking at the man kneeling on the tree trunk in front of him who didn't look embarrassed at all, he spit out the cigarette in one gulp.

"You climbed the tree?"

Shen Chuan looked down at the tree and then at him, "I thought you saw it." Then he asked, "How is it? Is my climbing posture handsome?"

Lu Xuan suddenly had a headache.

This man came to the door in the middle of the night. Could it be that he came to climb a tree to show him?

Chapter.4

As a detective, the end result of wandering around at night is to see a dead body?

"What are you going to do?" Lu Xuan lowered her voice and asked angrily.He still hasn't forgotten the last bad breakup, and he also feels that he and Shen Chuan may not be able to find a common topic in a short time.

Shen Chuan looked at him for a few seconds, then spoke calmly. "I want to ask you, would you like to come with me?"

Lu Xuan was stunned, "What?"

"Would you like to come with me, only the two of us live together."

Hearing the man in front of him make a promise similar to a marriage proposal in his most familiar gentle voice, Lu Xuan understood this time, but thought it was a joke, but Shen Chuan's expression and eyes were extremely serious, so he was at a loss again.

"Would you like to?" Shen Chuan asked again.He knew that it might not be a good time to say this to Lu Xuan, but no matter what the result was, he just wanted to hear a word from Lu Xuan.

If Shen Chuan had said this to him when he was about to leave back then, Lu Xuan thought that she would go with him even if they were in the ends of the earth, even if there was no love between them, she would never regret it.

But at that time, he was still young, or he hadn't matured to that point, and things were far from as complicated as they are today, so they missed the best opportunity, and they are still entangled until today.

"No," he shook his head, "I don't want to forgive you." He is not that magnanimous, and he also wants to be willful once.

Shen Chuan seemed to have known for a long time that he would answer like this, and he didn't have an overly sad expression.If he would forgive him easily, it wouldn't be Lu Xuan.

"Then, how can I forgive me?" Stretching out his hand to touch Lu Xuan's face, Shen Chuan's movements were very light, as if there was a bit of flattery, but it was not obvious.

"You tell me the truth."

"Honestly, will you come with me?"

"You are qualified to ask me for an answer if you tell the truth." Lu Xuan was so resolute for the first time.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Chuan sighed. "What do you want to know?"

"Anything is fine, let me know what you think will let me know."

This is throwing a difficult problem to him.Shen Chuan smiled wryly, leaning his upper body forward, sitting on the window sill, with one leg on a branch to keep his balance.

"I found all of you and brought them here." Shen Chuan started, and then decided to start with the recent events. "I have been to the village that Yun Chuyang took you to a long time ago."

Lu Xuan turned her head to look at him, and her memory was opened up bit by bit with him.

"Yun Chuyang was brought out of that village by me." Slowly recounting the past, when Shen Chuan mentioned Yun Chuyang, his tone was a bit melancholy.

"He is the young master of a rich family, but his health is very poor. Because of his ability to predict, he is destined to live soon. But these people don't know, they only know that the young master of the Yun family is a sick ghost, but even though he is the young master, Yun Chuyang It’s just a concubine, and the main wife has a son, his younger brother, who is two years younger than him, healthy and well-loved.”

Lu Xuan never knew about these things, because almost everyone in the organization didn't know their past, because the past was not important to them, the real thing was to survive.

"The first time I saw him was in winter. He was dressed very thinly and was tied up in a corner. He looked at me timidly. He was almost skinny and his face was dirty. His bright eyes looked at me. There was quiet desperation, that's not the look a child would have." After a pause, he continued, "The people in the village say he's crazy and not worthy of pity because he killed his brother."

"Killed his brother?" Lu Xuan was taken aback.

"Yes, he pushed him into the river with his own hands."

Lu Xuan couldn't imagine that scene, not even imagine it.how come……

"Do you think you can't understand? Are you starting to hate him?" Shen Chuan turned his head to look at him.

Shaking his head, Lu Xuan said firmly, "He won't." He knew that Yun Chuyang was not that kind of person.

Shen Chuan smiled, "You are wrong, his brother was indeed killed by him, and he told me this himself a few years later. Because he knew that his brother would be raped by a man in the future, and then his body would be dismembered."

Lu Xuan was stunned and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

"He said he saw his brother crying, the man covered his brother's mouth, pressed his feet, kept him from screaming, raped him over and over, and then the man cut his brother into pieces, Take out all the organs, his brother is covered in blood—”

"Enough!" Lu Xuan interrupted him hastily, "Stop talking."

Shen Chuan paused for a moment, but continued on.

"Although he knows it, he can't change anything. No one will believe what he said, and he can't protect his brother. He hates himself for being weak and powerless, and hates himself for being unable to do anything while watching everything happen, so he would rather I killed my younger brother with my own hands, and I didn’t want him to die in pain.”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of Yun Chuyang and Guan Junyan. They died for the same reason, all because of love.

"There is no law in that village, the village rules are the law, and killing people will pay for their lives." Shen Chuan recalled the situation that day, "Do you know what kind of punishment it is? First apply special medicinal juice on the prisoner, and then use a sharp knife Cut the flesh little by little, let the blood flow slowly, the blood will not flow quickly, but it will definitely dry up, maybe it won’t hurt too much, but the feeling of waiting to die is the real killing.”

"You took pity on him, so you brought him back?"

"This is indeed one of the reasons, but not all." Shen Chuan admitted without hesitation, "I am not that great, and the main reason for bringing him back is because I need his ability."

Lu Xuan is very clear about this, because the purpose of the establishment of the organization is to gather people with special abilities to work for the employer, no matter what kind of work, as long as there is money to be made.

From the standpoint of the founder of the organization, he didn't think Shen Chuan was wrong, but he still wanted to know one thing——

"Then, why did you leave?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Chuan replied, "Because of my selfishness and cowardice."

When Shen Chuan left, he didn't seem to tell anyone, nor did he leave a single word. At that time, he even guessed the reason for his departure like a fool, even "he hates me", "he doesn't want to see me again I've thought about this kind of reason.

Besides, there was one more thing that he couldn't let go of, that is, when we met again, Shen Chuan pretended not to know him like a stranger, and pretended to be so similar!

"Why do you say you haven't seen me before?"

"Because I want to start over with you."

That's a good reason, convincing enough.Lu Xuan frowned, lowered her head tiredly and rubbed her temples, "What happened to us before?" He lost his memory, but he didn't want to keep losing his memory like this.

Shen Chuan reached out and touched his head, "Promise me, don't ask what happened before, let's start again, just the two of us, and we won't be separated again." It was the first time he laughed so powerlessly, as if he didn't even have a little confidence nothing.

But this is a tempting proposal. Whether it was before or now, Lu Xuan found herself attracted to him. It seemed to be a kind of tacit understanding, or a law.

But he didn't want it to end like this. He felt that things would not be so simple. Even if he could let go of everything and go with this person, he would not feel at ease afterwards.

Laughing twice, he raised his head to look at Shen Chuan, and said with some self-mockery: "When I loved you, you left without saying a word, but when I was about to forget you and fell in love with another person, you Show up, are you punishing me? Made me fall in love with the same person twice."

"It doesn't make any difference," Shen Chuan looked at him and said softly, "Lu Xuan, you love me."

Lu Xuan shook her head, "There's a difference, because I'm no longer the one who took you as everything."

Having said that, it seemed impossible to continue. For Shen Chuan, there was no result, but for Lu Xuan, it was a sign of determination.

Shen Chuan doesn't want to force it, maybe anything can be taken by force, but love is the only exception, love that is forced is meaningless, and he is also confident that no matter what the final result is, Lu Xuan will be by his side.

"I respect your current choice." Putting his arms around Lu Xuan's shoulders and letting him lean against his neck affectionately, Shen Chuan whispered, "But, you still need to make another choice."

"what?"

There was no answer, Shen Chuan looked down at him, and the two maintained the posture of "lingering under the moon", and the atmosphere was so romantic that it felt a little nasty for a while.

Lu Xuan first felt that something was wrong and wanted to back away, but after making a move, Shen Chuan stopped him even harder.

"Don't move, just let me hug you for a while."

Listening to that familiar voice, Lu Xuan subconsciously followed suit.The short-lived comfort was only for the two of them. He seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, but when it really came, he felt that it was far from what he had imagined.

Not long after, Shen Chuan let go of his hand, and then patted Lu Xuan's head as if to comfort him.

After meeting his eyes, Lu Xuan was speechless.

After looking at Lu Xuan for a while, Shen Chuan turned around and jumped off the tree, landed lightly, stood up and raised his head, took a last look at Lu Xuan and disappeared into the night.

Looking at his back, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that the confident man was a bit lonely.

He couldn't help but think that maybe it was right for Shen Chuan to leave without saying a word at that time, if he left in front of him like now, maybe it would be more hurtful.

After Shen Chuan left, the surrounding area became even quieter, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was especially clear at this time.

Standing at the window and looking ahead, Lu Xuan suddenly frowned. "come out."

The wind stopped, but nothing appeared, and after a while, Lu Xuan stretched out her hand to catch a white feather that fell from nowhere.

In the next second, a large shadow suddenly appeared above his head, slowly approaching him.

Lu Xuan raised her head and saw the angel with its wings open for the second time. It was still as beautiful as a hallucination, a hallucination called Qi Shaowu.

After the amazing debut, Qi Shaoyang slowly descended and sat on the branch, the wings flapping behind him were all white, shining lustrously under the moonlight, making people want to touch them.

He looked at Lu Xuan, didn't speak, and smiled as if to let him admire himself.

It is said that angels are narcissistic. Lu Xuan didn't feel this in Qi Shaowu, but she felt it vividly in Qi Shaoyang.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

Qi Shaoyang smiled ambiguously, "Why, I can't come and see you?"

Lu Xuan raised her eyebrows, "You also want to play "Romeo and Juliet" with me?"

Qi Shaoyang moved his face forward, put his hands on the window sill, raised his head slightly, looked at him seductively, and said in a magnetic low voice: "I really want to..." As he spoke, his face got closer and closer— —

Lu Xuan just narrowed her eyes, and mercilessly pushed that face away with one finger. "I see that your scar is healed and you forget the pain."

"Are you still angry last time?" Qi Shaoyang smiled flatteringly, although he was the one who was kicked out last time with disheveled clothes.

Not in the mood to continue arguing with him, Lu Xuan asked again. "How on earth did you find this place?"

Hearing that his voice was serious and indifferent, Qi Shaoyang knew that the joke could stop, so he pressed his chin in the direction that Chen Chuan left, "I came with him."

This time Lu Xuan was even more puzzled, "Why are you two together?"

"Why, are you jealous?" Qi Shaoyang smiled awkwardly, but it was more intimate than the usual celebrity smile.

It's a pity that Lu Xuan didn't like this, and reached out to grab his wings, ignoring the silky soft touch in his hands, and roughly tugged twice. "Should I say it or not? I'll pull out all your hair if you don't say it!"

Unexpectedly, Qi Shaoyang put on an expression of resignation to death, looked at him firmly with his chest straightened out and said, "Don't tell! Even if you raped me, I won't tell!"

"Fuck!" Lu Xuan was so angry that she laughed, let go of her hands and scolded, "You think beautifully!"

Qi Shaoyang looked at him quietly for a while before saying, "You have never smiled at me like this before."

Lu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and even his smile froze. Although it was unnecessary, he suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Is it because of Qi Shaowu that you don't like me?" Qi Shaoyang suddenly asked again.

After blinking twice, Lu Xuan didn't know how to answer.

He thought, what Qi Shaoyang said was right, but at this moment, he couldn't admit it frankly.

It's just that his silence was enough for Qi Shaoyang to understand, he nodded with a somewhat helpless, lonely and relieved expression.

But only a few days later, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that Qi Shaoyang was different from the arrogant kid before.

"Qi Shaoyang——" he couldn't help but say, "You don't need to care about what others think of you, really, just live a good life like you are now."

This time, he no longer subconsciously accused this person, after all, that matter was the wishful thinking of their brothers, and he should not be caught in the middle.

"I know." Qi Shaoyang smiled, but he knew very well that he couldn't live in a world with only himself, now and in the future.

Not long after Shen Chuan walked, he stopped in front of a bush of flowers.

Behind him, footsteps slowly approached.

"I don't go through the main entrance, but I like to climb trees at night." Mori raised his chin and the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes under the glasses.

Turning around, Shen Chuan also smiled, "Don't you know that sometimes sneaking around is more exciting?"

Sen sneered, and took a few steps forward.There was heavy dew at night, walking on the grass, the trousers of both of them were wet.

"Are you here to explain to him?"

Shen Chuan shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked it, lowered his head and took out one with his mouth, lit it and took a puff.

"No." Now the explanation has missed the best time.

"You still think you can get away with it?" Sen lightly frowned, walked towards him slowly, and asked as he walked, "Do you think that once you leave, the previous things can be treated as never happened?" Standing In front of Shen Chuan, he raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do now? Take Lu Xuan away with you?"

Shen Chuan looked at him for a few seconds, "I really mean that."

Sen's face changed, he was not often angry and could hardly hide the anger in his heart at this moment.

"But—" Shen Chuan suddenly said again, "I just think about it, this time I won't just leave like this."

"I don't believe you." Sen snorted sarcastically, lowered his head and took off his glasses that were clouded by moisture.

Shen Chuan shrugged, and passed the cigarette in his hand, and Sen didn't refuse, took out one, and lit it with the fire handed over by the other party.

It's been a long time since the two smoked together like this.

No one spoke again, the surrounding smoke and moisture mixed together, and even the smell became special.

It wasn't until the end of a cigarette that Shen Chuan said to Sen: "You are really outstanding." It has exceeded his expectations too much.

Mori smoked a cigarette expressionlessly, and it took him a long time to reply, "You're wrong." After flicking down the ash, he continued: "In the past, killing people was based on orders, but now I ordered them to kill people. The feeling is completely different. "

"Do you hate me? Hate me for handing over the organization to you, and leaving by myself."

Sen lightly twitched the corner of his mouth, "You trusted me by handing over the organization to me, and you trusted me once you left. I suddenly felt that I have no virtue or ability to make you trust me like this."

"Because you are indifferent." Shen Chuan gave him the answer without hesitation. "Not only for others, but also for yourself."

Sen thought of the words "ruthless and unrighteous", perhaps, this is indeed his best portrayal.

He took over the organization from Shen Chuan. For a long time, they lived a comfortable life by killing people. The days of killing seemed to be at their peak, as if they were venting something. It wasn't until he calmed down that he realized that I have missed something invisible.

"I won't let you interfere with Lu Xuan." Throwing away the cigarette, Sen breathed a sigh of relief, with an unmistakable firmness in his eyes.

"I'll let him make his own choice. You've controlled us for so long. Now, it's our turn to decide our own destiny."

Shen Chuan looked at him and didn't say no or yes.

◇

The successive appearance of Shen Chuan and Qi Shaoyang made Lu Xuan no longer sleepy.

Qi Shaoyang had already left, he was standing in front of the window playing with the feather in his hand, thinking a lot.

To this day, he still hasn't thought about what to do in the future, but the days of muddling along will eventually pass.

It was suddenly dark in front of his eyes, Lu Xuan couldn't help shaking a few times, and after barely standing still, he stretched out his hand to cover his right eye, it was painful as if it was about to crack, but he can bear it for now.

"It's been so many years, it's not kind of you to want to rebel now..." Panting deeply, Lu Xuan teased herself, waiting for the pain to subside.

After he came back, the abnormality in his right eye became more and more serious. He had obviously never used the hypnotic ability, why did this happen?

After a long while, her eyes finally returned to normal. Puzzled, Lu Xuan reached out and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then looked up at the night sky, it was still early before dawn.

He turned around and took his coat, opened the door and left the room.

When we got outside, the temperature was actually warmer than in the room. The surrounding forests were lush, and the humidity at night was heavier.Lu Xuan walked slowly, and unknowingly came to the field of flowers that she saw on the helicopter during the day.

Water and mist surrounded the flowers, which seemed to be similar to the river in Yun Chuyang's village. In the daze, he saw a person standing among the flowers through the moonlight, it was Zhou Mingxiao.

The other party kept his back to him, staring into the distance without moving, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Brother." He walked over and called softly.

Hearing his voice, Zhou Mingxiao turned around slowly and smiled at him.

At that moment, Lu Xuan thought of Shi Xiangyun who was lying drunk under the peony flowers in "A Dream of Red Mansions", and Zhou Mingxiao's appearance standing in the peony flowers was definitely unique.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Zhou Mingxiao looked at him and asked.

Lu Xuan walked up to him and casually said "I can't sleep". "Aren't you sick? Why are you still here so late?"

"It's just a bit of a headache." Zhou Mingxiao replied indifferently, "I can't sleep either, so I came here to have a look. The air here is good."

Lu Xuan looked at the peonies around her, and saw that the petals and leaves were covered with dew, and they were really budding, delicate and beautiful.

"You really like these flowers, you can't see them for a day." He said a little teasingly.Like flowers is a hobby that only women have.

"When I was young, you always asked me to play with you. If I refused, you would complain that I only like to grow flowers, like an old man." Recalling the past, Zhou Mingxiao's eyes were a little blurred.Those things that happened a long time ago, for him, everything is vivid in his mind, and he has never forgotten it.

Looking at him, Lu Xuan suddenly didn't know what kind of expression to have, so she looked around and turned her head away, but still raised the corners of her mouth slightly.I was always so silly when I was a child, but it was easy to be satisfied, and happiness seemed to be very simple.

"Lu Xuan, how have you been doing outside these two years?" Zhou Mingxiao asked suddenly.

Nodding her head, Lu Xuan talked about helping people catch rapes, looking for cats and dogs, sometimes being so poor that she couldn't even pay the rent, and being scolded by the landlord's aunt, Zhou Mingxiao couldn't help laughing.

"It sounds like you're not doing well."

Lu Xuan laughed twice, "It's not a good day, but it's good to be comfortable and happy!" When he was alone, he had never been more easily satisfied.

Hearing this, Zhou Mingxiao's smile gradually disappeared, looking at him thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan asked concerned when she noticed his strangeness.

Without answering, Zhou Mingxiao walked up to him, stretched out his hand to touch his face, "You have changed...is the outside world really that good?"

Looking at him, after a while, Lu Xuan let out a "huh".

Zhou Mingxiao laughed softly, let go of his hand, and walked slowly two steps among the flowers before stopping again. "Do you want to keep going like this?"

Lu Xuan was silent for a while, then sighed. "I didn't think about it that much. Since You Hao and the others left, I found that it's fucking useless to think about anything. It would be nice to be able to walk quietly to the day of death."

This is not an excessive request, but it is close to a luxury for them.Because he could understand Lu Xuan, Zhou Mingxiao hesitated even more.

"Do you think, if we were ordinary people, we would be better off than we are now?"

When he asked this sentence, Lu Xuan immediately thought of You Hao's wry smile when he couldn't fall asleep, Yun Chuyang's expression waiting for death, Guan Junyan, You Zuo, and Qi Shaowu——

"Yes." He nodded without hesitation, although his answer was somewhat cruel to Zhou Mingxiao and himself.

"...It seems that only by reincarnation in the next life can I become an ordinary person." Zhou Mingxiao said as if joking.

But Lu Xuan was inexplicably surprised. Just about to say something, she heard the other party's question.

"Have you found him yet?"

Lu Xuan knew who the "he" he was referring to was.After thinking about it, he replied, "That's right."

Zhou Mingxiao didn't ask any more questions, and the two just stood among the flowers for a while.

Just when Lu Xuan wanted to ask him if he knew about Shen Chuan, the latter turned around and looked at him again, "It's late, go back to sleep."

"Brother—"

"What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." Not giving him a chance to continue asking, Zhou Mingxiao turned around and walked back, and patted him on the shoulder when he passed by him.

But Lu Xuan didn't go back immediately, but stood there for a while, staring at the peony on the ground in a daze.

After returning to the house, Lu Xuan did not go directly to the room.

He promised Fu Lan would visit him again, although Fu Lan might be asleep at this time, but he still decided to try his luck.

When I walked to the edge of the pool, the pool was quiet, and I didn't see Fulan, but this pool is actually connected to the one outside, so if Fulan is not here, it may be outside.

Not in a hurry to find Fulan, Lu Xuan first squatted by the sink to wash her hands, but when she was about to stand up, she felt something was wrong.

He frowned, smelling the bloody smell that suddenly appeared in the air, feeling that the smell was getting stronger and stronger, he slowly raised his head to look into the pool, and then slowly opened his eyes wide.

Near the center of the pool, a black shadow emerged from the bottom of the water, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a person.

Lu Xuan stared at the surface of the water without blinking. After seeing the person floating in the red pool, she couldn't help shouting excitedly——

"Flame!"

Chapter.5

To be a detective, do you have to meet the tree of life that can suck human blood?

Like driftwood on the surface of the water, Liu Huo quietly closed his eyes, the blood in the water became more and more darker, as if it had fainted from his body, it quickly turned red, emitting a thick breath of death.

"Liuhuo!" Lu Xuan couldn't believe her eyes, and quickly jumped into the pool to swim to the center. When he reached Liuhuo, he reached out and grabbed Liuhuo, pulling him into his arms, but the cold body His body has long since lost its normal temperature.

"Liuhuo! Liuhuo!" Lu Xuan hugged him and called loudly, and kept patting Liuhuo's face with one hand, but no one in his arms responded. "Talk to the fire! Talk to me!" His voice was trembling, and his eyes were wet.

He didn't understand, it was only a few hours before dinner, why did it happen like this? !

He and Liuhuo don't seem to have a good relationship, but they are not without feelings.
