Chapter 276: The Late Flute

I think I should be afraid.

Isn't it? On such a night, a remote town, a dark road with no lights on both sides, there is still moss in the corner on the blue stone road, and the air smells a little damp...

A man in a black robe, silver hair, a golden mask... all of this looked so weird and unusual.

But Ji Ji didn't feel scared at all.

Even when this guy who claimed to be "joker" stood in front of him and reached out his hand, the thick and soft gloves gently stroked his hair, he couldn't feel any fear.

Even she felt a little close in her heart, and she herself didn't know where the feeling of being close relatives came from.

Joker?

I just think this name is strange.

"So, what's the matter with me?" Ji Qi raised his head carefully.

Joker moved his hand away and looked down at Jean's face with his eyes hidden behind the golden mask: "You are very beautiful and cute. Haha..."

Such an intimate tone made Ji finally feel a little uncomfortable: "When did we meet?"

"Oh... you don't need to remember those, dear boys." The guy actually smiled, laughing out loud this time, although the sound of the electronic synthesized metal was a bit weird: "Tell me, it's so late, are you looking for something for walking here alone?"

"I..." Ji Ji hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth - in fact, this innocent girl has not yet learned to lie. Her heart is as crystal clear as a piece of crystal without any stains. Neither Chen Xiao nor Xu Er Shao Baicai and others have taught Ji Ji Ji a basic skill: lying.

"I want to find someone, but I don't know if I should go to him."

"Chen Xiao?" Joker's eyes were smiling again.

Ji Yi immediately widened his eyes: "Do you recognize him?"

"Believe me, my dear Jean, I know him very well." Joker naturally pulled Jean's hand. Although the two were quite different in height, when they stood together, Jean suddenly felt the deepest part of his body and mind, and a feeling of wanting to be close to this person.

"Chen Xiao is nearby now. If you want, I can take you to see him."

"...Really?!!" Ji Yi jumped up now, his face full of surprise and pleasure, but then a hint of depression came out: "But Uncle Tian and the others said..."

"You don't have to worry about what they said. Maybe they were wrong? Maybe Chen Xiao wants to see you now too? Why do you have to listen to others telling you what you should do?" Joker turned around, bent down, stared at Ji Yi up close: "Listen, Ji Yi. You have to learn to understand one thing: you are an independent person, you should make decisions about your own affairs, do what you do, and don't do, and don't need to listen to others' words. I think, whether it's Chen Xiao or your friends, I have always hoped that you can learn everything you should master in living in this world as soon as possible."

"But..." Ji Ji seemed to be completely unsuspecting to this person: "But I have learned a lot. I have learned to cook, I have also learned not to discharge electricity randomly, and..."

"No, the most important thing, you haven't learned it, and Chen Xiao hasn't had time to teach you." Joker actually stretched out a finger and gently scratched Jeri's small nose. This overly intimate action finally made Jeri blush. Her little face shrank back with difficulty, and her shiny eyes stared at the person nervously.

"Independence! The most important thing you need to learn is independence! Independence makes your own judgment on all the decisions in your own life. No matter whether your decision is correct or wrong, at least that is your will! Small things, such as when to eat, when to sleep, and big things, such as what friends you should make, what clothes you should wear... These things are your own decision."

Ji Ji's eyes widened - he had never said such things to her, and even Chen Xiao had never said it.

Before they knew it, during the conversation between the two, the mysterious joker had already taken Ji Ji's hand and walked along the path.

The sound of the two people talking all the way was still heard in the alley.

"Is it a big deal to wear what clothes...?"

"Haha, believe me, girl, for women, this is definitely a very important event."

"What? You said the sage is gone? What does it mean?!"

Zhurong and Gonggong stood opposite Laotian, and the couple looked solemn and guilty.

Zhu Rong no longer had a hot temper at this moment, and his face was filled with guilt and anxiety: "I...I don't know what's going on."

"What does it mean to not know!!" Lao Tian slapped the table hard and jumped up: "Zhurong, you two are following a little girl, and in this small place, they actually lost the person?!"

"Old Tian, ​​don't get angry for now." The person who spoke was Gonggong. Although Gonggong felt guilty, he was still a little calmer after all: "Things are a bit strange. We kept following Ji Ji and I wandered around the town, but we walked into an alley. Ji Ji was obviously less than five steps ahead of us, but Zhu Rong and I suddenly felt a strange feeling..."

"What a strange feeling?" Lao Tian also calmed down.

"Yes, a strange feeling." Gonggong took a deep breath: "I don't know how to describe it, it's like, at that moment, my hair was standing up all over my body, as if beside me, a beast had already stared at me, and would pounce on me and bite me hard at any time! Yes... It's this feeling, we feel like we were suddenly staring at by someone hidden in the dark!"

"Murderous?" Lao Tian frowned.

"It's not murderous intent." Gonggong grabbed his scalp: "I don't know how to describe it. The other party did not seem to target us deliberately. That feeling should be... well..." Gonggong thought for a long time and suddenly thought of a word, and what he said was...

"powerful!"

powerful?

"I still remember what I told you. That night when Champagne was taken away by Lin San in City K, Zhurong and I were taken away. On the way back, we met the woman named Sea God. Zhurong and I joined forces, but we lost very badly in front of that woman."

Lao Tian nodded: "This is not your fault, it's just a gap in strength. That sea god is S-level."

"Yes, she is S-level." Gonggong carefully brewed the words: "When we fought with her, we could feel the powerful aura on her body. The feeling was, it was like a mountain in front of you, it was always taller than you, bigger than you, and you could never cross the past! You knew this very well in your heart... I felt this way at that time, and I felt how small I was in front of that woman. Although we were full of fighting spirit, we knew in our hearts that we absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, could not be the opponent of that woman! Just like a low-level creature facing a high-level creature, it was like a mouse meeting a cat... It was an instinctive awe of powerful beings!"

Lao Tian's face became solemn: "What do you mean..."

"Zhu Rong and I are not weak." Gonggong shook his head: "Although we are not spiritual psychopaths, if there are powerful individuals approaching us, we will also have sensations. But at that moment, this sensation was too strong! We seemed to be completely shrouded in that powerful aura, and at that moment, we felt a suffocating feeling. Believe me... neither the sea god nor you, Lao Tian, ​​have never given us this feeling!"

"...and what!" Lao Tian gritted his teeth hard.

"Then... I said it, in the blink of an eye, the gang in front of us disappeared. In front of us was the empty alley, with no one. Zhu Rong and I were shocked and chased forward quickly, but..." Gonggong felt a little ashamed.

"Say that!" Zhu Rong took over the conversation: "We ran far and far... Hell! Do you know how long we ran? Almost half an hour!!"

"Half an hour?"

Lao Tian knew that if a level A-level psychic genius like Gonggong and Zhurong ran and chased with all their might, it would not be strange if they ran a hundred ten kilometers in half an hour... Half an hour was enough for them to run around this town for many laps!

"But, for half an hour, we didn't run out of that alley. I think you should understand what I'm talking about. That damn alley is less than two hundred meters at most, but we ran for half an hour, but we didn't run two hundred meters! Obviously, we were teased. Moreover, half an hour later, we suddenly realized that in the past half an hour, we were just standing still!"

Lao Tian felt the muscles on his face trembling.

This is not a simple "tache"!!

The facts are clear: Zhurong and Gonggong were controlled by others at that time, and then they were thrown into the illusion.

But the problem is...

How long does it take to go in the blink of an eye?

How many seconds at midnight?!

At a few seconds, the consciousness space of Zhurong and Gonggong, two A-level powerhouses, was instantly defeated, and then completely controlled their consciousness, causing them to fall into the illusion...

In a few seconds, the consciousness of the two A-level powerhouses was completely controlled!!

What strength is this?!

What a huge spiritual power that requires?!

At least, Lao Tian knew very well that although he was at the S level, he would never be able to do this even in his peak state!!

"Chen Xiao, is he here?"

"Shh..." Joker raised his index finger in his mouth.

The two stood side by side behind a big tree. In the distance, there was a simple house made of green bricks. There was a small lawn at the door and a earthen stove behind the house.

Joker gently patted Jean on the shoulder and whispered: "Don't speak loudly."

"Why?" Ji looked at the joker in confusion. Instinctively, she felt that this guy seemed to be very friendly to him.

"Because... Chen Xiao is there, and I'm afraid I can't see him, so I can't do it now." Joker smiled. He gently touched the middle part of the mask on his face and whispered: "Okay, you can walk over now, but be careful. Chen Xiao is in a trouble now and is busy dealing with a very important thing, so he may not be in a good mood."

Ji Ji stood there, bit his lip, looked at the house in the distance, then looked at the Joker beside him, suddenly a trace of gloom appeared on his face, and he shook his head: "I... still won't go."

"Why?"

"He is dealing with a very important thing. I...I'd better not go over. I'm worried that I will distract him. He has never come back to find me and has not come back to see me. It must be because that thing is very important, so...I'd better not go over. I don't want to cause trouble to him."

Ji Ji bit his lip gently and looked deep at the house in the distance.

Joker stared at Jean's face, looking at the side of Jean's face, his eyes became very gentle, and then sighed softly: "Believe me, my dear little Jean, for that kid, everything in this world may cause him trouble...but you are the only person who will never make him feel troubled."

"Why?"

"Because I said it." Joker smiled, then pushed Jean out of the back of the tree with a light push: "I need you to do me a favor."

"What?"

"I know, you won't lie, you have never learned to tell lies." Joker's eyes were smiling: "This is your most precious quality, and I don't plan to change these things. However, I need you to hide something for me. Whether it is Lao Tian or Chen Xiao, don't tell anyone about our conversation. You can say that you saw me, but you can't tell all our conversations today, do you understand?"

Ji Ji hesitated a little: "But what if they ask me?"

"I know you can't tell lies, so when they ask you, you don't have to make lies to lie to them, but..." joker: "You can choose not to say anything!"

Watching Ji hesitate to walk towards the house in the distance, Joker leaned against the tree and suddenly smiled softly, as if he was talking to himself: "It's really a busy night. Well... it's time to meet an old friend."

In Xiaojia Town, a traditional folk music class hired today is resting in the inn, and a group of artists are busy preparing to pack gifts. They made a lot of money today, and the troupe's headmaster had a satisfied smile on their faces.

But just as the headmaster carefully put a thick envelope filled with money into his bag, he turned around and saw a person standing behind him!

Black robe, long silver hair, and a golden mask!

When a normal person suddenly sees this scene in his room at night, he will be frightened and scream out of control.

But before the headmaster could scream, he found that his mouth could not make any sound.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to borrow something." Of course this person is the joker: "I think there must be flutes in your band team."

In the room, Lao Tian Zhurong and Gonggong were frowning, and suddenly, a melodious flute sound passed through the window and floated in!

The sound of the flute is far away, as if it is floating from a distance, but it falls into the ears, but it gives people the illusion that it is just ringing in the ears! The thick walls and windows seem to be unable to stop the sound at all. The sound of the flute carries a strange rhythm and tone, clear, and every note seems to fall directly into your heart through the ears!
