In the empty office hall, there were only about a dozen children aged 12 or 13 gathered together. A few children were playing video games, some were playing chess, some were leaning against the window and reading, and a few were gathering together to play on the computer.
.
Du Xia looked at his watch. It was almost time and it was time to go home, so he stood up and put down the poetry collection in his hand.
Seeing her stand up, the beautiful girl who had been lying on the sofa and wearing headphones said.
Du Xia glanced at this girl. Her name was Zhou Quanwu, she was also a member of Gesha, and she was the most powerful leader among them.
Not long ago, some countries officially designated her as the Witch of the Underworld on a wanted warrant, and the bounty reached an unprecedented 37.2 billion yuan.
This is equivalent to one-tenth of the total annual income of the entire European Federation, which shows its strength.
It was Zhou Quanwu who combined the loose grid yarns outside and established an organization called Mist Erosion. It protected many grid yarns from being hunted by state departments.
"Well, it's time to go home, otherwise my brother and parents will be worried." Du Xia replied calmly.
"Why don't you move out? Live with us? You have been suppressing yourself and living in a world of ordinary people. This is not good for you or them." Zhou Quanwu was wearing a white miniskirt and a black navel-baring T-shirt.
Her straight black waist-length hair flows down the sofa, glowing with a soft luster.
Du Xia glanced at her exposed pair of perfect long white legs, and his eyes paused for a moment on a purple and black pattern that resembled a tattoo on the outside of her thighs.
It was a sharp blade pattern similar to a scimitar, and both the handle and the blade had hollows like vines and spiders, extending to the inner thigh.
Paired with a white miniskirt and fair and slender leg curves, people can't help but want to follow the sharp blade lines to explore the bottom of the skirt.
Du Xia moved his eyes away and looked at the sunset that was about to set outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"I don't want to think about this now. Where is Xiaoqiu?"
"He went out with Feiniao and the others, saying they wanted to have fun." Zhou Quanwu replied lazily, continuing to lie on his back, opening his beautiful crystal-purple eyes, holding the player and changing songs again.
"Having fun?" Du Xia frowned, "It's so late, they went out in the morning, right?"
"Yes, you can make a call and come over to have a look." Zhou Quanwu said casually.
Du Xia squinted her eyes and scanned the entire office hall. She straightened up and patted her skirt. There were some faint gray marks on her brown woolen skirt and white pantyhose.
As she stood up, a red-haired boy who was playing a game in the hall also put aside the controller in his hand, stretched and stood up.
Another girl with blond curly hair who was playing with her mobile phone also put down her mobile phone, still chewing bubble gum in her mouth, then stood up and looked at Du Xia.
The three of them have always acted together. If the Underworld Witch is the leader of the entire Mist Eclipse, then their leader is Du Xia.
"Let's go and find Xiaoqiu." Du Xia tugged on his long flaxen hair to make it smoother.
"Can you help me buy the new version of Time and Space Fantasy? The version that just came out last month." The red-haired boy asked with a smile.
"It's a small matter. But before that, help me get Xiaoqiu back." Du Xia said calmly.
"Understood." The red-haired boy waved his hand in front of his eyebrows and said with a playful smile.
The three of them stood up and attracted the attention of almost all the other members in the hall. Several friends who were playing games together sighed and advised the red-haired boy not to leave and play a few more games, but it was no use. The boy smiled and apologized one by one, but he refused.
.
"There will be an event tomorrow. Remember to come early. The school has greeted you." Zhou Quanwu said lazily while lying on the sofa.
"I know." Du Xia led the two of them to the door, opened the door, and pulled his collar to stand it up to block the wind.
Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding.
Suddenly Du Xia's cell phone rang. She lowered her head and took it out and looked at the screen. It was Xiaoqiu's call.
"Hey, where are you now? If you don't come back, you know the consequences." Du Xia has always been a taciturn figure at home in front of her parents and brothers, but outside, she has always been the most powerful personality.
Just like her strength. In the entire fog eclipse, she is the only one who can compete with the leader of the underworld witch Zhou Quanwu without falling behind.
Although the two have never really fought, they are indeed on the same level. They are completely different from the other members.
At home, although Du Xia and Du Qiu are twins, their abilities are very different.
"Xiaoqiu?" There was no sound on the other side of the phone, which immediately made Du Xia a little confused.
A suppressed sob came faintly from the phone.
"...Xia...Sister Xia...Xiaoqiu...is dead...!! Wuwu~~" A boy's crying voice, accompanied by intermittent words, came in
In Du Xia's ears.
Du Xia's eyes instantly froze, and a terrifying light flashed in his pitch-black pupils.
"Tell me you are kidding me."
"It's...Huangfeng...Huangfeng's people, find them...the whole dam exploded...all exploded!!" The boy opposite said intermittently what had just happened.
Bang!
The mobile phone in Du Xia's hand suddenly exploded into powder.
She stood motionless and didn't respond for a long time.
The blond girl who was chewing bubble gum also paused, a little at a loss. The red-haired boy looked in disbelief and reacted suddenly. He took out his mobile phone and started making calls quickly to check.
The result of the check was no luck. For a moment, Xiaoqiu's surviving companions, the companions organized there, and the sound of sirens and ambulances rushing to the scene all came through the phone.
Snap....
The cell phone in the boy's hand accidentally fell to the ground. He wanted to pick it up, but accidentally glanced at Du Xia's face. He was instantly frightened and did not dare to move again.
The three of them didn't speak any more.
"Dead...?" Du Xia stared blankly at the air in front of him, as if he had completely lost his mind for a moment.
*********
*********
By the time Du Xia came to his senses, it was already more than a week later.
Du Qiu's funeral was held in the city's funeral parlor. There were many people coming, and there was an endless stream of people.
Du Xia sat blankly to the left of his brother's portrait, numbly returning greetings to the guests as his mother cried.
His elder brother, Du Xiong, was sitting beside him, his face also had a hint of sadness.
Every time a guest comes to visit, he needs to deal with various inquiries and comforts from the other party. As the eldest son of the family, he does not just need to return gifts like Du Xia.
Father Du Xuning was standing in front of the hall door, leading visitors into the hall with his uncle. His eyes were also red and swollen, and he had obviously cried for a long time.
"How did Xiaoqiu get there?" This is the question most people ask.
"He was playing by the dam, and the dam exploded. I don't know why. He and several other friends who were with him..." This is the answer given by the Du family, and also the answer given by the police.
.
But Du Xia knew it was not that simple. Maybe her brother and parents believed this explanation, but she knew it was not an accident.
With Xiaoqiu's ability, even if it is not as good as his own, his life will not be endangered by a sudden explosion.
The only hope now is to find out the real murderer as soon as possible. Zhou Quanwu has already started investigating. Her real identity is the daughter of a federal general, and she is born with great authority and status.
But Du Xia will not just rely on one channel.
The funeral lasted for a long time, and Du Xia followed obediently behind his brother and parents, dealing with various matters behind his brother's death.
It was not until evening that there were almost no visitors. The three of them were replaced by funeral home personnel and rested in the auxiliary hall nearby.
"Are you okay?" Du Xia suddenly had a tissue in front of his eyes.
She took it, wiped the tears on her face, and looked up at Du Xiong, the eldest brother who loved her and her younger brother the most.
Du Xiong was in a low mood, a little listless, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was trying to force himself.
Du Xia knew that he was no less sad than himself. After all, his younger brother Du Qiu was usually more attached to his elder brother than he was.
"I'm fine." She whispered.
"If Xiaoqiu was still here, I would never want to see you so confused." Lu Sheng persuaded seriously.
He also had a fire in his heart. Just how long had passed, and there was one less brother and sister he wanted to protect in Karma.
And it happened to be the initial period when I was at my weakest.
As for red eye circles, bad mood, etc., these are all reactions of the body itself.
"The police are investigating the cause and the specific amount of compensation. My parents are already negotiating with them. If necessary, they will sue the local responsible water and electricity bureau unit," Lu Sheng said simply.
"I know..." Du Xia nodded.
Lu Sheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Du Xia's hair. He would not make the same mistake again. Without a younger brother, Karma also lost a small amount of his soul income, so this time he carefully used the opportunity of caressing to fuck Du Xia.
A little yangyuan atmosphere.
This aura is also present in Du Xiong's father and mother.
"Let's go for a walk together?" Du Xia made a rare active invitation.
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The two of them greeted their parents, left the funeral home, and walked slowly on the surrounding hills, with Du Xiong in front and Lu Sheng behind.
After walking some distance, Du Xia was the first to speak.
"How about keeping Xiaoqiu's room as it is?"
Lu Sheng nodded.
"I've already told my parents."
After a moment of silence, Du Xia found a big stone, dusted it off, and stood leaning against it.
Lu Sheng stood beside her, looking at the withered yellow mountain grass swaying in the wind in the distance.
"There is something wrong with the police investigation into Xiaoqiu's death. It doesn't look like a simple accident." He said to himself, "I don't believe the investigation results, so I'm going to investigate it myself."
Du Xia was stunned.
"Mom and dad... do you know?" She hesitated.
"I don't know. But I will use my channels to investigate, don't worry." Lu Sheng bulged his arms and joked, "I have also been doing various exercises recently."
Du Xia had heard from his parents that his eldest brother had been practicing boxing, but he didn't know how he was doing now.
"Brother..." Du Xia wanted to say something, but couldn't. She wanted to tell her eldest brother clearly that Xiao Qiu did not die in an accident at all, but was murdered.
But for the elder brother who is just an ordinary person, even if he knows the facts, what else can he do besides being angry and powerless?
So she was also prepared to investigate on her own. If it was really Huang Feng...these imperial lackeys, then it was really time to agree to Zhou Quanwu's huge plan.
"Don't worry, brother will take care of it. In addition, the same goes for you. If you have any troubles, tell me and he will bear with you." Lu Sheng pinched her cheek gently.
"Yes!" Du Xia felt the warm touch that she had not seen for a long time, and her eyes became slightly moist. Her nose was sour, and she tried hard to hold back tears.
call.
She suddenly turned away and closed her eyes.
"Don't look at me!"
Lu Sheng's hands froze and he shook his head helplessly.
"You go back first, I will be alone for a while." Du Xia whispered.
"Okay, I'll be right over there." Lu Sheng slowly walked away helplessly.
When he walked far away, Du Xia slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer black, but bright dark gold.
Countless golden colors sparkled and danced in the eyes, like starlight.
"No matter who you are."
She clenched her palms, her eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
"I will find you and kill you!"
hiss...
The stone in front of her quickly twisted, shattered, burned, was wrapped in dark golden flames, and was burned without a trace in the blink of an eye.
************
The bright red light shone eerily on the sofa.
In the lobby of the office building, Zhou Quanwu was lying lazily on the sofa, one hand dropped to the ground, and his slender and beautiful index finger landed on a slender and simple black scabbard on the ground.
"The first bond was eliminated." Looking at the sunset outside the window, Zhou Quanwu suddenly chuckled.
Even though she was the only one in the entire hall.
"Is this necessary?" A tall figure in the shadow asked in a low voice.
Zhou Quanwu gently held the black scabbard on the ground.
