The greatest cruelty in life is to be a chess piece.
All living beings, everyone seems to be born with the fate of being a chess piece, but some chess pieces can determine the outcome and become the most dazzling one, while some... are destined to be abandoned.
This is the only answer Li Nanke can think of.
Li Donghai is the abandoned chess piece, and his existence is to protect Yu Shengtian.
But after the last transaction happened, Yu Shengtian's fate also changed.
His behavior exposed himself.
He also pushed himself completely into the abyss of darkness!
Boom!
Just when everyone thought everything was about to end, a dull explosion suddenly sounded, and the ground shook.
At the same time, a crack half a foot wide extended from the forest. Like a python lurking underground, the crack came to everyone's feet in an instant.
Seeing the monster that appeared in front of him without warning, Li Nanke immediately reacted and pointed at Yu Shengtian, "Don't let him run away!"
He obviously gave up.
There was dead silence!
Everyone was stunned, as if they had not expected such a result at all.
Li Nanke was helpless.
She is just like me before, not afraid of anyone or shrinking from any difficulties.
When people around him talked to him, he didn't respond at all, only a sound like the buzzing of mosquitoes lingered around.
Yu Shengtian raised his head suddenly and stared directly at Li Nanke with a bitter look on his face. "Li Nanke, you asked me last time why I wanted to save Leng Xinnan. I can tell you the answer now..."
Yu Shengtian shouted angrily with red eyes.
Seeing clearly that the hostage being kidnapped was actually the prefect's wife, Li Nanke and others quickly stopped and did not dare to approach, for fear that Yu Shengtian, who was pressing hard, would hurt the other party.
"careful!"
In the 23rd year of Tianwu, on New Year's Eve, I killed monsters alone in Chang'an Mountain and rescued four hunters. That time, my leg was broken and I almost became permanently disabled!
But Yu Shengtian just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
boom!
With an unwilling roar, red and white water splashed out and sprinkled on the Buddha statue.
But in the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the corners of his mouth were salty, and he didn't know if it was sweat or tears.
"Can I start again?"
Yu Shengtian walked through the corridor, his back pressed tightly against the cold pillar wall, and his sweat-soaked clothes left wet marks on the stone wall.
Why?
Why?
Why!?
The man asked to himself.
Why?
After reacting, other members of the Night Patrol Division ran to look after the prefect's wife, who was screaming in fright.
The firecracker in the other hand was also pressed against the woman's forehead.
But just half a step out, two more monsters appeared from the cracks in the ground, blocking everyone's path.
But before Leng Xinnan could answer, Yu Shengtian raised his hand, "Okay, I already know the answer."
In the silent mountain forest, every sound is particularly obvious, and any breeze blowing will make a creepy rustling sound.
Yunxiang Temple.
The next second, the crack opened and a terrifying monster rushed out!
Yu Shengtian's eyes were red, and he grabbed Chu Yunxin's neck and backed away.
He didn't want to answer such a question, and the only people who were truly qualified to answer it were officials like Leng Xinnan, who only wanted to save the people who were harmed by the red rain.
The monster is tall and covered with thick green hair. Its head is slightly rectangular, like a combination of a cow and a crocodile.
Yu Shengtian looked at Leng Xinnan with tearful eyes and said slowly, "Because she is the only person in the Night Patrol Department who is willing to do her job wholeheartedly.
Li Nanke sighed: "If you want to know the answer, let go of the prefect's wife and go back with me. I will give you a satisfactory answer."
In the long corridor, the only sound was the gentle swaying of the lantern when the wind blew.
"It's too late."
So you can't die, so I am willing to save you sincerely. If you die, there will really be no hope for the Night Patrol Division, not even a little bit..."
Leng Xinnan's expression changed, and she grabbed Li Nanke's arm and hid behind him.
Li Nanke looked at Leng Xinnan beside him, "Sister Leng, tell me."
Yu Shengtian talked about everything he had experienced over and over again, and every word seemed to be squeezed out through gritted teeth and anger.
But I hate her very much! Why do I hate her?
We were obviously the same people once, so why can you, Leng Xinnan, be the only one who can persevere, but I, Yu Shengtian, can't!
Because you have such a good brother!
And here, Li Nanke also experienced some illusions.
Everyone was silent.
"not late!"
"So, what is your purpose of joining the Underworld?" Li Nanke looked at the man who was in madness and asked, "Or, in other words, have you always been a member of the Underworld?"
Unexpectedly, he would appear here at this time, apparently praying for his two dead daughters.
An arrow roared like a startling rainbow, rushing towards Li Nanke with a sharp sound of wind, splitting the surrounding airflow.
Li Nanke asked.
After learning that the prefect's wife had been kidnapped, he came in a hurry and was relieved to see that Chu Yunxin was fine.
"Fuck your horse!!"
I don’t want my future children to live in a nightmare, let alone experience the pain of the death of a loved one again!
The woman cursed in a low voice.
"Get out of here, everyone!"
Her body was trembling, and she moaned silently, as if she might faint at any time.
And countless doubts came to mind.
"No, the target is Sister Leng!"
Seeing this, Yu Shengtian, who was desperate, rushed over like lightning and grabbed the woman's neck.
Before he could say the word "heart", He Panjun's delicate wrist suddenly turned up, and a small knife hit the tip of the arrow as accurately as a meteor.
Li Nanke's expression changed and he shouted hurriedly, "Miss Leng——"
But it is precisely because of this that everyone feels sorry.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Nanke shouted: "Yu Shengtian, don't do anything stupid!"
Fortunately, He Panjun, who came over, was by his side and pulled him to his side, barely avoiding him.
Li Nanke cursed secretly, reached into his arms and prepared to take Red Rain to kill these monsters.
The emotional Yu Shengtian choked up, his crying voice full of anger and unwillingness, but also a bit of relief and tenderness,
"Sometimes I really admire you and hope you can keep going and never forget your original intention.
As the woman performed Qinggong, the two people quickly shuttled between the trees. Subconsciously, Li Nanke hugged the woman's slender waist.
Yu Shengtian's voice floated in the silent night, leaving everyone silent.
My pockets are empty!
No, I took three bottles of Red Rain this morning, but why are they missing?
Before he could think about it, a gust of wind came over.
Li Nanke's eyes were sincere, "I can help you. Trust me, Mr. Yu, you shouldn't end up like this. You can still do a lot of things."
I don’t have anything, I don’t have anything! That’s why I’m jealous of you, that’s why I hate you.
Several members of the Qinglong Club who had already been arranged rushed out immediately.
The next second, he put the firegun to his forehead.
At night, the nunnery looks particularly deserted.
Soon, he came to a nunnery.
"do not come!"
"Li Nanke, you are very smart. You should understand that the current night patrol department is rotten."
Leng Xinnan, who was dealing with monsters with Meng Xiaotu, had no time to care.
The movements of the two people also alarmed the nuns in Yunxiang Temple.
Leng Xinnan looked at the other party with complicated eyes, her red lips parted slightly, "Do you think I would say that we in the Night Patrol Department are working hard to save the people?
Yes, but not all...
"On the second day of September in the twenty-first year of Tianwu, I took my brothers to Chaigou Village and killed three monsters and saved forty-seven villagers!
But the arrow was heading towards Leng Xinnan!
Li Nanke was still standing there like a wooden stake.
However, Li Nanke had a strong feeling of uneasiness.
The deflected arrow penetrated deeply into the nearby trees, and the arrow shaft was still trembling slightly.
Immediately, a bitter and self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. If the environment did not allow it, he would even want to laugh.
And then, he laughed wildly again, tears of laughter came out.
"All of you, leave! I don't care about anything anymore! Bring my wife and children over here!"
The muzzle of the gun pressed against the hostage's head also trembled slowly and shifted a little.
A yellowish lantern illuminated a corner of the nunnery. The dust falling on the ground and the gradually dissipating cigarettes painted a quiet scene under the weak light.
Leng Xinnan said: "I will protect you! I will let you continue to stay in the Night Patrol Division. As long as you help us catch the underworld, I, Leng Xinnan, will definitely protect you! Let you start over."
And in his hand he held a short blazing gun, which he got from somewhere.
Li Nanke breathed a sigh of relief, turned to He Panjun and said, "Thank you."
You have a good brother!!
He asked in a cold voice: "Li Nanke, why do you think we work so hard in the Night Patrol Division?"
The eyes looking at Li Nanke and others were full of fear and pleading.
But sometimes..."
Yu Shengtian didn't know where to run, so he could only flee aimlessly.
Immediately afterwards, Li Nanke and others came after him.
"I'll chase him!"
He kicked the door shut, opened the window, and faced everyone outside coldly.
The dim light reflected the woman's delicate face.
"People ran away!"
Li Nanke had been to this nunnery before, in order to investigate the case of the White Phoenix maid.
"Yu Shengtian, you are at the end of your rope, what else do you want to do?"
No one doubts that Yu Shengtian really risked his life to protect those people.
Yu Shengtian raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes dull.
"Are you sure you want your wife and children to come over? Are you sure you want them to see you like this?"
At this time, other members of the Night Patrol Department also arrived one after another, including two senior officials from the capital, Jing Benhai and Lan Minsheng.
Why did he choose to commit suicide?
Whoosh!
A piercing light passed through the man's mind, tearing apart the thick dark clouds and revealing some truth.
"Yu Shengtian!"
Yu Shengtian trembled his lips, but made no sound.
What? Li Nanke subconsciously turned his head and saw Yu Shengtian taking advantage of the chaos to run in the other direction, very fast. After all, his cultivation level was not low.
The unique peaceful atmosphere of the temple cleansed his heart.
Yu Shengtian, think about your family and your son. You don’t have to care about us, but don’t let your son down, okay? You still have a way out, believe me."
He felt that all the sounds around him were blocked at this moment, and there was only a buzzing vibration in his eardrums.
At this time, Yu Shengtian looked calmer.
"Do you regret it?"
Why did he commit suicide?
Li Nanke also opened his mouth.
Yu Shengtian scolded the frightened nuns behind him and retreated into a Zen room with the hostages.
Seeing the effect, Leng Xinnan hurriedly said: "I swear, if I can't do it, I will be struck by thunder!
The laughter naturally revealed its whereabouts in this silent night. Leng Xinnan, who was chasing after him, found Yu Shengtian at a glance and shouted, "Don't run away!"
Here, it seems that the only person he can trust is Leng Xinnan.
Whoosh!
Small nets were ejected from the weapon held by Leng Xinnan, but were easily dodged by Yu Shengtian.
But now, if your son sees this scene, what will he think?"
But when everyone thought that he would choose to give up, Yu Shengtian's face showed a bit of struggle. The hand holding the gun was tense, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
At that time, there was a maid named Que'er beside Bai Fenghuang. After being bullied, she became crazy and stupid. Finally, she was taken in by Master Guanxin, the abbot of Yunxiang Temple.
However, Yu Shengtian didn't know this. After seeing the nunnery, he hesitated for a while and then climbed over the wall and entered.
It turned out to be Chu Yunxin, the concubine of the prefect!
It was because of her report that Li Donghai's identity was completely exposed, triggering a series of subsequent consequences.
Li Nanke wanted to move his legs to follow, but then his body suddenly became soft and He Panjun held his arms.
But when he touched it with his hand, he was stunned.
Although Yu Shengtian's cultivation level was very high, he was forced to dodge because he was unwilling to harm Leng Xinnan, and was eventually forced into the main courtyard of the nunnery.
Leng Xinnan and others rushed over to check Yu Shengtian's body.
…………
"you do not know."
"You idiot, you don't even know how to do Qinggong. Let me help you."
Yu Shengtian said excitedly, "We worked hard to do what we should do, but in the end it was just a bargaining chip used by others to gain power! Tell me, what can we get in exchange for doing this!?"
In the 24th year of Tianwu, in order to save the children in the school, I was seriously injured and was in a coma for six full days before I woke up!
It was also in the twenty-fourth year of Tianwu..."
In particular, the two round eyes are full of ferocity and cunning, shining with a green light like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Is this guy taking advantage of me?
When pushed into a desperate situation, no matter how calm a person is, he will collapse and do something drastic.
The light squeezed out from the gaps in the thick clouds is like another person. He has obviously tried very hard, but he is still drowned in the darkness.
"It's the underworld!"
Leng Xinnan shook off the entanglement of the monster and chased after Shengtian.
Yu Shengtian was stunned and looked at the woman blankly.
Mr. Yu, I have seen your son, he is very smart. His greatest pride is that he has a heroic father who can protect him.
Yu Shengtian's expression became slightly relaxed.
When he saw the arrows stuck in the trees, he broke into a cold sweat and cast a grateful look at He Panjun.
But he couldn't care too much at the moment, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to chase Yu Shengtian.
Next to the carriage, a woman in luxurious clothes who seemed to have just finished offering incense was preparing to board the carriage. Seeing the sudden appearance of Yu Shengtian and the others from the night patrol department, the woman was so frightened that she screamed.
At this time, a luxurious carriage happened to be parked outside.
And this hug almost made He Panjun lose his breath.
Leng Xinnan was stunned and looked in disbelief.
The woman's words caused Yu Shengtian to fall into a long silence.
We do it for ourselves, but also for our family and friends. I don’t want my loved one to die from a monster one day, nor do I want him to become a monster.
Yu Shengtian pressed his feet a little harder, and his whole body instantly bounced up, like a paper kite flying in the air.
Yu Shengtian sniffed, looked up at the sky, and looked at the bright moonlight that had peeked out at some point, with a smile on his lips.
He Panjun shouted softly.
Chu Yunxin, who was inexplicably held hostage by her neck, looked in pain at the moment, her face full of helplessness and fear.
During the breath, the virgin scent of a woman's body was like an unopened flower bud, fresh and peaceful. As a man, Li Nanke couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Leng Xinnan, who was belatedly aware of this, finally realized what he was doing.
Li Nanke seemed to have guessed something, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
On the other side, the frightened Chu Yunxin was being comforted by Lan Minsheng, "Mrs. Chu, the prefect will be here soon, and we will arrange a carriage to take you off."
The woman nodded slightly, still stained with blood, and looked very charming.
At this time, Li Nanke suddenly came over.
In the confused eyes of Jing Benhai, Lan Minsheng and everyone else, he suddenly picked up the blunderbuss and pointed it at Chu Yunxin!
