Chapter 71: People in this world are too glassy

In early February, the 90th year of the New Calendar.

York City, a cafe on the corner.

Xu Cheng sat in a seat near the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

Opposite him was a girl with short hair, about twenty-five years old, with straight and beautiful facial features and big and bright eyes.

Who would have thought that the girl in front of her who gave people a fresh feeling was Wu Ruoying, who had been acting crazy and stupid in the fraternity for two years.

It has been half a month since he escaped from the Brotherhood, and Wu Ruoying was sent home by Chu Mo to reunite with her parents.

Today she invited Xu Cheng to come out and express her gratitude in person.

The two of them had lunch and sat in a nearby cafe until now. They had already talked about all the topics they could talk about.

Xu Cheng used the action of drinking coffee to cover up the embarrassment of silence. Wu Ruoying on the opposite side lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several gunshots suddenly attracted the attention of both of them.

It turned out that a bank across the street was robbed, and security guards and robbers were shooting each other passionately.

This is already a daily routine for people in the lower town of York City. Not only are passers-by unhappy, but even the guests in the cafe are interested in watching.

This reminded Xu Cheng of some countries where drug dealers had stronger firepower than the government before traveling through time, and the people were also simple and simple.

When the robber on the opposite side was beaten away by the security guard, Xu Cheng took the opportunity to say to Wu Ruoying: "I'll take you home."

Wu Ruoying did not refuse and nodded, "Please trouble you."

Her home is in the Xiacheng District. She arrived shortly after walking far. Xu Cheng took her downstairs and said goodbye.

Wu Ruoying looked at Xu Cheng's departure back, and a glimmer flashed in her eyes.

She had already got the answer she wanted from Xu Cheng's attitude.

On the other hand, Xu Cheng did not go home after leaving, but went to a certain place.

He also vaguely noticed Wu Ruoying's thoughts, so he kept keeping polite and distance today.

It’s not about her experience of discrimination, but about Xu Cheng’s current situation. Not only is it full of dangers, but at least it is full of dangers.

The blasphemer may make a comeback, after all, Wang Teng is not dead.

Then there was Zhao Wei. Xu Cheng briefly investigated afterwards. There were several congressmen and judges surnamed Zhao in York City, but they did not find out the relationship between them and Zhao Wei.

It is scary if you don’t find it, which means that the other party’s information is at a level of confidentiality.

In this case, getting too close to Wu Ruoying will only harm her, and keeping a distance is best.

Taking the city-round train, Xu Cheng quickly found the place according to the address given by Chu Mo and came to the door of a cheap rental house.

There was no doorbell, so Xu Cheng had to knock on the door.

Not long after, the door was opened and a decadent young man with messy hair and unshaven beard appeared in front of Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng looked at the blood-filled eyes of the other party and asked, "Are you Duan Ming?"

Duan Ming frowned: "It's me, who are you?"

“It doesn’t matter who I am.”

Xu Cheng took out a bag from his body and opened it, revealing the silver earrings inside: "The thing is returned to the original owner, and I will return it to you."

Duan Mingru was struck by lightning and stared at the small earrings.

He suddenly stretched out his hands, grabbed Xu Cheng's shoulders tightly, and shouted: "Where is Lingling?! Where is Lingling?!"

That’s right, the decadent young man in front of him is Zhou Lingling’s fiancé.

Xu Cheng grabbed one of his hands, stuffed the earrings into his hands, and sighed: "Say sad."

Duan Ming took two steps back and sat on the ground. He looked down at the earrings in his hand, tears quickly poured out of his eyes and fell on the earrings.

At this moment, Xu Cheng seemed to see an illusory female figure appearing behind Duan Ming and gently hugging him.

When I looked at it again, there was nothing, as if that scene was just an illusion.

Originally, Xu Cheng did not intend to return this strange earring object to the original owner, but Chu Mo found Duan Ming's current situation. In addition, Zhou Lingling's previous wish was to return the earring to her fiancé, so Xu Cheng gave up the plan to take this thing for himself.

"Why?!"

Duan Ming murmured with tears, suddenly looked up and roared at Xu Cheng: "Why?! Why do you want to send the things back?"

He clasped his earrings tightly with his hands, kept pounding the floor, punching his fist to a bloody and roaring, "Why do you want to break my last hope?"

After Zhou Lingling disappeared, Duan Ming quit his job and searched hard.

After so long, both families already knew that Zhou Lingling was in trouble, but Duan Ming was still unwilling to give up and always believed that Zhou Lingling was still alive.

This faint, humble hope was broken by the earrings that Xu Cheng sent to him.

He would rather not find Zhou Lingling in his life, and would rather believe that she was living well somewhere than see her die.

Xu Cheng did not mind Duan Ming's emotions being out of control, but fabricated a lie that Zhou Lingling died unexpectedly and told him the danger of the earrings.

"Strange, are you saying Lingling has become that kind of thing that is neither human nor ghost?"

Duan Ming's face became ferocious, his eyes were congested, and blood vessels bulged under the skin.

Xu Cheng smelled the manic breath from him and was shocked.

People in this world will collapse under strong mental stimulation, either commit suicide or become weird on the spot.

Duan Ming was stimulated by the death of his fiancée, and it was obvious that he began to develop in the latter situation.

Xu Cheng quickly took out the music box and opened it, and the melodious and light music sounded.

When Duan Ming heard the music, he covered his head with his hands, so painful that he used his head to hit the wall.

The manic aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and he shouted like a madman.

Xu Cheng knew that he could not wait any longer and he had to anesthetize Duan Ming in general.

He stretched out his hand and knocked Duan Ming's neck like lightning.

Duan Ming fell straight down and finally calmed down.

Xu Cheng sighed helplessly. He clearly had a kind heart to send the thing back, so how could this happen?

This was the first time he had seen someone turn into a weird process. People in this world were too vitiligo.

Is the game not fun or the hot pot not delicious? I just want to be stubborn all day long.

After waiting for more than an hour, Duan Ming woke up from the anesthesia, his eyes had returned to his senses and he was not as irritated as before.

He got up from the ground, covered his neck and groaned in pain: "It hurts so much, I feel like I've been hit hard."

Xu Cheng's face was not blushing and his heart was not beating: "You accidentally hit the wall."

Duan Ming gradually remembered what had just happened, sat on the ground, looking at the earrings tightly in his hand, and shed tears silently.

Xu Cheng was ready to give him anesthesia again: "A person cannot be resurrected when he dies, so let's be mournful."

Duan Ming wiped away his tears with his sleeve, raised his head, and apologized to Xu Cheng: "I'm sorry, I got angry with you just now, I'm sorry."

Xu Cheng shook his head and said he didn't mind, it was not me who was beaten anyway.

Duan Ming glanced at the earrings again, then stuffed them into Xu Cheng's hand: "It may be useful to you."

He didn't know how to thank Xu Cheng, so he had to give him this earring that could summon strangely. He could only see things and think of others, which made him feel sad.

Xu Cheng did not feel pretentious and took the earrings away.

It’s not that I’m greedy for the function of the earrings, but that I’m mainly afraid that Duan Ming will be sad every day when he holds the earrings, and then make a new weird thing, which will harm others and yourself.

Seeing Duan Ming sitting on the ground and being autistic, Xu Cheng did not disturb him and left silently.

When I came outside, I looked up at the sun in the sky, but I didn't feel much warmth.

Xu Cheng was about to go home, but his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Chu Mo calling it.
