Xu Rong felt that his life had reached its peak. Now he was surrounded by various media, asking about his "heroic deeds" just now.
"Excuse me, do you know who that crocodile monster is?!"
"How did you feel when you stood in front of them?!"
"Hero! Is it convenient to leave your contact information?!"
"Ah~I am a hero~"
The tall and thin boy was surrounded by all kinds of admiration and inquiries, deliberately delaying his answer, enjoying the taste of a hero. Ye Lanxin in the apartment stared at the real-time monitoring screen, the corners of his eyes shaking crazily.
"Is this guy an esper? No, Hongfeng, have you found out the identity of the crocodile man?!"
"Reporting, based on the current intelligence, it can be confirmed that he is a member of the dense forest swamp tribe in Southern Wei Province. If the intelligence is correct, he is one of the members who escaped during the riot!"
"Tsk! Finally I couldn't hold it any longer... Hmm?! Hongfeng! Is there any contact between "Yan" and Shuwen?!!"
Sensing something was wrong, Ye Lan felt her heart skip a beat. Memories of that night flooded into her mind. She frantically connected Lin Shuwen and Mo Yunfei, but only got through to Mo Yunfei.
""Yan"?! Is Shuwen with you?!"
"Well, I'm holding his body."
"What?! Stop joking, tell me..."
"No kidding, his skull was shattered by a heavy punch and he died. It looked like he didn't put up any resistance."
"Dead...dead?!"
The soul was pulled out of the body, and Ye Lanxin's lips lost the last trace of blood. She shook and knocked over the tea set on the table. The broken porcelain pieces hit the ground. The irritable echo disturbed her mood. Her lips
Her hair was stuck to her hair, and her eyes were empty.
"Impossible, I didn't receive any contact, I didn't receive any contact about his situation! He is not dead! Unless you put his body..."
"The body will be given to you after I kill the crocodile man."
"Kill...ah~ yes~ that killer! Hong Feng!"
"Little... miss?"
The trembling contact tone from the earphones intensified Ye Lanxin's murderous intention, and she growled in the room:
"Call all the champagne roses. There is only one mission: capture that crocodile man alive and take him to the punishment room!"
"Excuse me..."
"The crocodile man must have killed Shuwen. I can even think of Shuwen having no reason to resist..."
Ye Lanxin covered her eyes and scratched blood marks on her skin with her fingers. The tears falling from the corners of her eyes gradually turned blood red.
"He thought I was the one who came to pick him up. He thought I was the one who sent him to make him faint and fake his death before joining Shadow Killing completely. That's right~ If the earphones can't be connected, he, being so smart, will definitely think that it's me.
What a prank..."
"Little... miss, please calm down first!"
"calm?!"
Ye Lanxin's questioning stopped Hongfeng correspondent, and she could even imagine her boss's bloodshot eyes.
"Eighteen years ago, the riot completely destroyed our family. Lan Ruxin was sent to live in an ordinary family and was displaced. Wenxin and I followed our father everywhere to avoid killers who might appear at any time. If my father hadn't invited the old man,
Dragon, we have died at the hands of those rebels!"
"The same method... my mother was killed in this way back then. My father told me to give up all resistance when the earphones that would not cut off contact lost their function. He would send someone to make my mother faint and fake her death. However, later, my mother really died! That's the case.
Because the skull is broken!"
"Miss……"
"Ah~ everything is connected, exactly the same technique, exactly the same scene. If it's the same as what Gardenia said, if there is fog..."
"it's foggy."
"..."
Ye Lanxin silently grabbed the windbreaker from the sofa and carefully wiped the traces on her face with the wipes in her pocket. Gardenia stood behind her and looked at her daughter sadly.
"Lanxin..."
"Shuwen?!"
Lin Shuwen's voice suddenly appeared in the headphones, and his warm call was like a spring breeze, blowing away the sadness.
"No...he is already dead...it's a hallucination, hehe, I actually have hallucinations..."
"I'm sorry, I thought it was you..."
"do not talk!!"
Lin Shuwen was stopped from explaining by the crying shouts, and he listened to the girl's sobs wordlessly.
"What do I call you?"
"Blue Enchantress."
It was him. Ye Lanxin's body shook a few times and hit the ground in the ups and downs. His hands subconsciously protected the earphones tightly, for fear that the only lifeline connecting the two parties would be damaged in any way.
"Can you come back now? No, I want you to come back immediately! No, Bian An and I will go to pick you up together!"
"I will go back, but I hope you won't interfere in this matter."
"Why?!"
"He can interfere with your communications. In that dense fog environment, large-scale combat will make him better at attacking. The possibility of accidental damage will also be very high."
"Nevertheless, I..."
"I don't want you to get hurt. You have a deep hatred for him and you will definitely be there in person. If I'm not wrong, is there a traitor in the organization related to the riot?"
Lin Shuwen heard Ye Lanxin's monologue completely. He seemed to understand something was wrong with the Ye family sisters and Yingsha himself. Before leaving, Lao Long had told him to protect them. Now it seems...
"There have always been traitors, but this is not your business. The first goal now is to catch the crocodile man. No, you can also kill him!"
Ye Lanxin regained her former commander's demeanor, and she had already begun planning future actions in her mind.
"The Crocodile Man has been exposed. If I want to protect me, I will definitely confront the Crocodile Man. What do you think will happen if a group of "dead" people appear in front of the public?! Isn't the premise of Shadow Kill not to interfere with the public?!
"
"But do you want me to watch the man I like die in vain?!"
"Compared with the security of this country, I am nothing as a person who has not yet joined."
"you!"
Both of them were silent. Lin Shuwen stroked his painful forehead and put down the earphones connected to Mo Yunfei's phone. They connected the original wireless earphones to their phones, and each person wore an earphone to share the contact. Ye Lanxin followed
He got up from the ground, sat on the sofa, and sunk his body into the cushions, looking for objective reasons to refute the other party.
"I will use espers to use mass hypnosis. As long as he is still on campus, I can block him."
"The big hole in the school is still being repaired. If there is another such a large-scale incident, it will be difficult for the people lurking in the school to evacuate."
"Can you please take care of yourself for me?"
"Pfft hehe"
"Mom, why are you laughing!"
Ye Lanxin looked at Gardenia who was snickering angrily. Gardenia stroked her head and gave her own suggestions:
"Sometimes we women have to believe in our men. Even if I die because of this, I still believe in and love my husband deeply."
"That's you! I won't allow emotion to abandon the best solution!"
"But you have forgotten his deception and suspicion just now~ Although you have always emphasized rationality, you are already acting emotionally."
"I...I will punish him when he comes back! The first question now..."
"The primary issue now is not to ensure his safety, but to follow your own reason. Am I right? You have always known that the two of them engaged in seduction and
Hunting is the best way to save more people."
Ye Lanxin turned her face away, with an expression on her face as if her mother had seen through her little thoughts. Gardenia gently floated in front of her and continued to persuade:
"Believe him ~ just like me and your father."
"One week..."
"Um?"
"I give you two one week. I have only one request. Come to me alive after one week, otherwise I will go to him one-on-one to take double revenge!"
"snort"
Lin Shuwen chuckled lightly and used his long-established pick-up voice.
"I'm going to treat you to a chicken dinner for the three of us."
"Don't worry, I can just eat it myself. Don't want me to be a light bulb!"
After hanging up the contact, Ye Lanxin hugged her knees on the sofa, stared at the headphones on the coffee table, and blinked:
"If you dare to die there, I will find a random man to marry!"
"Oh~oh~my daughter is getting married~"
Gardenia shook her head fondly and hugged her daughter's shoulders. On the other end of the headset, in the Hongfeng Base, Xinlian hugged a pile of transcripts and froze in place, listening to the two of them in the lobby of the Liaison Department.
Flirting is messy.
"What's next?"
"The condensation of fog requires sufficient dust and humidity. If it is not early in the morning, it can only occur on cloudy and rainy days. Or, in the dark night."
Lin Shuwen's eyes flashed with a fierce light - the night was his home court.
"Boss, your current state is not suitable for strenuous exercise. My elemental spirit tells me that the energy connected to the bone fragments of the boss requires a lot of energy to maintain and control. You are basically unable to fight, boss!"
"I can still do what I can to support you..."
"No, I told you, I can defeat him by myself!"
Lin Shuwen, who was beside the bed, looked at Mo Yunfei, who was swinging up and down on the swivel chair, and showed a relaxed smile.
"Little doctor?"
"It's the ultimate rescue! Uh-huh~"
"Would you like me to give you a cheat?"
"Wait until the other side pauses~"
Lin Shuwen felt a sense of security outside of his family for the first time when facing the knight joke that everyone understood. At this time, there was a loud noise from the room nearby, and Xu Rong was bragging to his companions with his arms symbolizing honor.
"Don't you mind that guy taking the credit from you?"
"Which one? Oh, that bamboo pole~ Anyway, you won't need to hit him at first sight. If he tries to be brave, just save him."
Lin Shuwen glanced at Mo Yunfei, who was indifferent, and asked:
"Is it really okay? You should have been praised originally."
"You are a bit reluctant to say this, but what's the point of being praised? Running around can't protect you, the boss, and your abilities are still limited. They also like to inquire about the details, just in case..."
"It's indeed quite troublesome. If these can be solved at the same time, will you fight for it?"
Lin Shuwen looked at Mo Yunfei lying on the swivel chair, ready to knock on his possible heroism.
"If~ if he doesn't go too far, I will turn a blind eye. Anyway, he will fall sooner or later if he has no strength. I just want to see the joke."
"I thought you could speak Beigang's words."
"What words?"
"Have you forgotten? In Dragon Riders, those who want to be heroes have already lost their qualifications to become heroes."
"I won't even remember those confusing words!"
Waving his hands in boredom, Mo Yunfei sat on the swivel chair and looked at the sunset outside the window. The ringtone of his sister's school bell seemed to echo in his ears. Today was Tuesday, not the day to pick up his sister.
In the shadow of the college's central botanical garden, the crocodile man looked at the only way from the infirmary to the dormitory building, waiting for his prey.
