Wearing a trench coat and unable to see her face, the woman stood on the tallest building in the city, taking a bird's-eye view of this world that was basically a new one for her.
At this time, the dawn has passed, and the fiery red sun is rendering the sky and the earth.
"There are no demonic powers, and there are no mountain or sea beasts," the woman looked back at the man in a black trench coat behind her, and said disdainfully: "In a place like this, do you have what you want?"
"have."
"Where?"
"have no idea."
"Boom!"
After a blank shot, the woman pointed an old-fashioned pistol at the man: "I don't want to hear these three words from you again. Now tell me, where is the thing?!"
The man in the trench coat did not reply, but looked at the rising sun and said, "It's still early, it's not a big place here, and it won't take long to find it..."
"snort!"
"Besides, let's make an agreement first," the woman said solemnly: "If the thing belongs to an ordinary person, it doesn't matter if you take it, but if it belongs to the demon painter and the other person is not willing to give it to you, you are not allowed to take it by force."
"What if I must?"
The woman did not speak, but grabbed it casually, and a rocket launcher appeared on the woman's shoulder, aiming at the man in the trench coat. The man in the trench coat was so frightened that the latter waved his hands quickly: "It's just a joke. If the other party doesn't give it to me, I will never take it.
"
The rocket launcher disappeared into the air, and disappeared together with the figures of two people. As the man said, time is indeed not a valuable thing to them, so after looking for a day, they finally locked
The target was reached——Binyang.
Binyang City is located on the southeast coast of the Oriental Land. Compared with the developing rural areas, it is located in Baidi Square in the south of the city.
At this time, night falls, and people are dyed in various colors amidst the lights and noise.
The highways are constantly flowing, and the squares and streets are crowded. For those workers who live in the city, the entertainment time of the day is concentrated after night, whether it is shopping with male and female friends in the mall, or taking advantage of the time to go
Watching the latest blockbuster in the cinema, and then finding a place to have dinner for two to enjoy the sweet midnight time are all good ways to get closer to each other.
Of course, these basically have nothing to do with Qin Xuan. At 10 o'clock in the evening, Qin Xuan, who had just gotten off work, was walking in the square outside the department store. What echoed in his ears were the laughter of the girls returning from the department store with loads of goods. He turned around
After looking at the endless neon lights and the lively square that looked like daylight, I could only accept it all in my heart and turn it into an inaudible sigh.
Qin Xuan, 17 years old this year, came to the city from the countryside a year ago, and then found his current job as a salesperson. The salary is not high, only about 3,000 a month, and after excluding room and board, there is basically not much left.
Money, of course, Qin Xuan did not expect to support his family with this. Although he is a bit decadent now, in fact, he is actually a down-to-earth rich man.
Qin Xuan's parents passed away when he was very young, and his sister took care of him when he grew up. The reason why Qin Xuan is said to be a rich man is because the ancestors of the Qin family did leave him a very rich family fortune.
For Qin Xuan, even if he doesn't work, he can live a luxurious life with his family background.
Maybe Qin Xuan understood this, or maybe it was the laziness in his bones that was at work. Qin Xuan was not a good student and gave up studying after graduating from junior high school. His sister also perfectly implemented the concept of a loving mother and a loser.
principles, she was extraordinarily indulgent towards her only younger brother, and she still remembers the words she most often said to Qin Xuan during her lifetime: "Living happily is better than anything else. Xiaoxuan doesn't like reading, so let's not read."
That's it.'
My sister was very good to Qin Xuan, and they lived together for ten years. But in the end, my sister had an accident last year and left Qin Xuan forever. When Qin Xuan woke up the next day, he habitually asked his sister to get up and eat.
At that moment, facing the empty room and feeling the silence inside and outside the yard, reality slapped him hard, then picked up Qin Xuan's collar and told him that she was gone and would never come back again!
I can't imagine how uncomfortable Qin Xuan's already empty heart felt when his parents died when he was young. He was not short of money. Among the relics left by his parents, there were all kinds of antiques, and he could sell them for a few.
With everything, you can have food and clothing without worries.
A year ago, he left the countryside and came to Binyang City, where he randomly found a job, hoping to get out of his psychological shadow, but now...
'Unknowingly, it has been more than a year. Maybe it's time for me to go back?'
Recalling every bit of time when his sister was still alive, Qin Xuan unknowingly arrived at his rental house in the city, took out the key, and opened the door.
"Um?"
However, the scene that caught his eye made Qin Xuan freeze there.
The water dispenser was overturned, there was a puddle of water stains, the messy drawers were rummaged through, and the clothes scattered on the ground were randomly glanced at. Even the drawers in the kitchen were rummaged through.
Asked: "Have you been robbed?"
For the first time, Qin Xuan thought of being robbed.
He is a well-hidden rich man, but not many people know about it even in the countryside. What's more, if you want to steal something, you should go to his hometown. There are many old things left by his parents and ancestors of the Qin family.
It’s valuable stuff, why do you have to steal it from him?
"Not good!" Qin Xuan, who was confused, suddenly thought of something. He rushed into his room quickly and saw the same traces of being rummaged through at a glance. His goal was obviously very clear, and he quickly dialed
Opening the barrier, Qin Xuan opened the bedside table and found an exquisite wooden box. This is the most precious thing Qin Xuan owns. It is more precious than anything in this room and more precious than any antiques in his hometown. He
You can throw away anything, but this must not be thrown away.
"Huh, luckily the stuff is still there..."
But before Qin Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, something hard and cold stuck in the back of his head: "Uh..."
Qin Xuan turned around subconsciously, but what he saw was the dark muzzle of the gun. But before Qin Xuan could panic, the next moment, a strong hand suddenly lay across Qin Xuan's neck, and then
Pushed him against the wall.
"Boom!"
"Cough!" Qin Xuan only felt that the other party's hands were like iron pliers. In the darkness, he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but he still asked instinctively: "Who are you?"
"If you don't want to die," the man raised his hand, pointed the muzzle of the gun in front of Qin Xuan's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Just give me the thing."
"Something? What something?"
'Um?'
The other party was obviously taken aback: 'The thing is not in his hand?'
That means...
Turning her eyes slightly, she focused on the box in Qin Xuan's hand, and immediately thought of a plan in her mind: 'This thing is probably very important to him.'
That's enough!
"You've made me wait for so long, and finally I'm here!" The other party's voice was very clear. She was a woman, about twenty years old, but because she came in in such a hurry, the lights in Qin Xuan's room did not turn on.
Opening it, in the dark environment, except for the muzzle of the gun illuminated by the light outside the window, Qin Xuan couldn't even see the other person's face clearly. He could only hear him ask in a trembling voice: "What do you want, please make it clear.
?”
At this time, Qin Xuan felt not only fear, but also confusion. What was going on, a home invasion or a kidnapping?
He has lived under the protection of his sister all his life. Qin Xuan has never encountered such a thing. He is immersed in grief, but this does not mean that he wants to die. Now he is suddenly being robbed and pointed at a woman of unknown origin.
, in the whole incident, except that the other party is a woman, there is almost nothing that makes people think that "this is a good thing"!
"Don't take it out?!"
Hearing the other party yell like this, ignoring the neighbors around him, he is obviously full of resentment, but even if Qin Xuan is afraid of death, he still has to find out what the other party wants, and in Qin Xuan's view, he has nothing of value here.
Even if he really has it, it should be in his hometown. But if it really belongs to his hometown, the other party wants him to hand it over now. Isn't this forcing him?
Ask clearly, what is the other party? If you don’t ask clearly, how can you get there?
"Then you have to tell me what you want, right?" Qin Xuan said quickly: "Sister, I really don't know what you want?"
"cough!"
The hand blocking Qin Xuan's neck was removed, and Qin Xuan knelt down on the ground, followed by a dry cough: "Cough cough cough cough."
"That's what I want."
However, the other party snatched away the wooden box that Qin Xuan was unwilling to let go of even if he lacked oxygen.
"What?!!"
Qin Xuan was really shocked. The box contained nothing valuable. What it contained were photos of his parents and sister, which were also his most precious memories.
Then, something like this emerged in Qin Xuan's mind.
When I returned to the rental house after get off work, I found that the rental house was in a mess, as if it had been robbed by a thief. This thief was not only highly skilled, but also possessed a "gun", a controlled weapon in China. To sum up, this was definitely not an ordinary thief. , but unfortunately, the target of such a house-breaking robber was the photo in his hand. In this regard, Qin Xuan really wanted to say something, there is such a thing in this world.
"This, this thing, are you mistaken? This thing is worthless."
Maybe this thing is important to Qin Xuan, but to others, these photos are just waste paper and worthless.
"Do you think I'm a fool?!" The woman suddenly emphasized her tone: "You found this thing as soon as you came in, and you told me that this thing is not a treasure?!"
Naturally, what she wanted was not the box, and she didn't care what was in the box, but as long as it was precious to Qin Xuan, it was a treasure, and it would definitely be useful if she had it in her hands.
"I..."
Qin Xuan said that he was looking for this right away because the photos in this box were very important to him, not because they were valuable: "What's inside is..."
"Okay, needless to say, no matter what is inside," the woman said in a tone that could not be refused, and forcibly took the box as her own: "It is mine now." After saying that, the woman ignored Qin Xuan.
She turned around and planned to leave, as if she was not afraid of Qin Xuan calling the police. Qin Xuan didn't know where she came from or who she was, but what Qin Xuan wanted to say was: "The thing inside is..."
The woman seemed to be walking casually, but in fact she was feeling the contents of the box: 'It seems like paper? Is this a treasure?'
'Is it a house deed? Or a land deed?'
The woman was also very confused about Qin Xuan's situation at this time, because she didn't feel the same kind of breath in Qin Xuan's body: 'And this child, isn't he a demon painter?'
Yes or no, try it first...
"Lie down!"
Suddenly, a fierce aura overflowed from the woman's body. For a moment, the whole room seemed to have lost its color. At the same time, Qin Xuan felt like he was swept by an invisible storm. His body felt like falling into an ice cave, and his ears were buzzing.
, followed by dizziness, and Qin Xuan's body fell to the ground weakly as the world was spinning.
"Ugh! Uh-huh!"
What's this?
"Cough cough cough..."
What was that just now?
Science fiction or supernatural film?
"Tsk, I've already said it, just a mortal, why bother." If you are dizzy and unable to adapt to the demon power, then you are not a demon painter. So, the woman snorted disdainfully and decided to leave. As for the things in this box, it seems that
It's useless. Mortals are not worth her extra effort.
"Cough cough cough, stop!"
With trembling hands, Qin Xuan forced himself up, and then stood up. He didn't know what the invisible storm was. He only knew that his parents were gone, his sister was gone, and now even the remaining memories would be destroyed.
Did someone else take it away? Although Qin Xuan had an inexplicable sense of fear towards unknown things, especially the woman in front of him. She was definitely not an ordinary person due to the supernatural invisible storm before. Maybe Qin Xuan's shouting might
If he gets involved in something dangerous, he may even be shot to death by the other party, but no matter what, Qin Xuan cannot let him take away the photos of his parents and sister. They are his things, and he will not do it again.
Let anyone take away what belongs to him: "Give me back the box."
However, seeing Qin Xuan standing up on his own strength, the woman was shocked and stunned: "How is it possible? Why can you still stand up?"
