The morning light shines through the gauze in front of the window, and flying scraps of gold are scattered on the bulging sheets. Wusi wanders on the white canvas, outlining an abstract expressionist painting. The blue light belonging to the mobile phone shines through the forest of eyelashes,
Vibrating the girl's skin, the black gauze shook gently, but it could not open the darkness of her left eye.
"Shashasha..."
Sitting up numbly from the bed, the girl lowered her head slightly, feeling her gradually awakening body in a trance. Her left hand trembled and she closed her left eye, blocking the light that did not exist. The warmth of the gauze ignited the calluses on her palms.
, some kind of moisture stuck to her hanging hair.
Indeed, she lost her left eye.
"Ding dong~"
"Yan" with her side ponytail tied up walked out of the elevator and looked around the hall with an indifferent poker face, looking for her compatriots.
"You came……"
Lan Ruxin smiled and waved to "Yan". Yun Luoyan tilted her head, came to the side of the eldest sister, and sat on the arm of the sofa obediently. Lan Ruxin held the report in her hand, blocking the eyes that glanced at her.
sight.
"What about him?"
"who?"
""wind""
A calm voice came from the side, and "Yan" noticed Lan Ruxin's gaze. She clicked on the music player on her phone, searched for the canon, and comforted her sister by acting like nothing happened.
"He? Probably still in Wenrou Township! This is a serious matter! Sooner or later..."
Lan Ruxin gritted her teeth angrily and slammed her clenched fists against the armrests of the sofa, covering up the sound of the elevator door opening.
"Why is it so popular..."
Xu Feng, who was about to make fun of her, saw Yun Luoyan wearing an eye patch and closed his mouth knowingly. He gently nodded to "Yan" and sat on the single sofa in the corner of the rest area.
"Hey, what's going on with Lin Shuwen?"
Lan Ruxin raised her chin to Xu Feng who was behind the notebook, and asked about Lin Shuwen's situation for her little sister.
"how to say……"
Xu Feng clicked on the surveillance video of Lin Shuwen's room and scratched the back of his head in confusion. This behavior aroused Lan Ruxin's impatience, and she punched the armrest again with her second punch.
"hurry up!"
"Ah! Yes!"
This punch made Xu Feng tremble. Yun Luoyan quietly jumped off the armrest on the other side, her little head swaying cutely to the melody, and walked behind Xu Feng, looking at the surveillance video.
"According to the doctor's examination, his entire body is slowly recovering under the guidance of the vampire's kiss. The suggestion there is to find Dr. Shixin to use his abilities to speed up the process, and..."
Xu Feng pulled out a report from his computer bag and was about to reach out to Lan Ruxin, but was taken away by "Yan" behind him.
"Just dictate it."
Lan Ruxin ignored Yun Luoyan's rude behavior and even smiled at her who was reading with gusto. Xu Feng shook his head helplessly and opened the electronic version of the report from his computer.
"Lin Shuwen can be said to be the first human knight in the past thousand years, so we collected his data. Judging from his abilities, it seems that he did not have any special abilities."
"?I heard from Sister Yuan that there is a skill that can absorb the opponent's combat ability?"
"Well, it's only effective against vampires..."
"Depend on!"
Lan Ruxin habitually spit out fragrance. Xu Feng glanced at the impatient eldest sister, coughed slightly, and continued.
"But it's not without its benefits. According to Zangetsu, they can now become "corporeal"."
"What's the meaning?"
The new terminology aroused Lan Ruxin's interest, and she perfunctorily greeted the newcomers "Jin Ming" and "Lv Qing", urging Xu Feng to continue.
"In the usual sense, the "materialization" of elemental spirits refers to the condensation of elemental energy into energy bodies in physical forms such as water and fire through micro-manipulation. Although it has an object
We observe the characteristics of matter, but in the final analysis it is still an energy body.”
"Are you trying to say that he can create "life"?!"
Lan Ruxin's eyes flashed, trying to find something that could make her feel at ease.
"It shouldn't be that far. According to Zangyue, the physical body that he originally placed in the world has disappeared. Correspondingly, his "materialization" has changed from the original energy body to a direct physical body.
In other words, what is behind "Jin Ming" now is the real dragon and phoenix."
"ah?!"
"Jin Ming" turned back immediately, his cold breath slapped his face, and the crescent moon wrapped around Feng Xuyuan's arm grinned at him, a smile that was indistinguishable from a ferocious smile that made him and his elemental spirit fight at the same time.
A cold war.
"Sister Yuan, you are here~"
"Oh! That boy asked me to take Zangetsu to say hello to everyone. After all, he is basically no different from a vegetable now~"
Feng Xuyuan stroked Canyue's head and sat down on the single sofa next to "Jin Ming". This behavior made "Jin Ming" tighten his body and cling to "Lengqing" like a frightened cat, but he kept
The big man who claimed to be a straight man avoided him without missing a beat, and the two big men huddled in a corner of the sofa, close to each other but far away from each other.
"Let me guess~"Sister Yuan"?"
Lan Ruxin smiled arrogantly, holding her left arm on the recessed armrest, supporting her head with her inward-curved fist, and crossed her legs.
"Ahem, she's Shotaxia's "sister"."
Feng Xuyuan turned her head to one side in embarrassment and scratched her cheek.
"So, he can't move now?"
Yun Luoyan put down the report in her hand and looked at Feng Xuyuan.
"Well, I highly recommend that you go and see him now. He was just asking Zangyue about whether he could make an eyeball out of flesh."
"kite……"
Feng Xuyuan waved her hand to Lan Ruxin and continued to suggest bluntly:
"He's the only one there right now, and I think you guys in two positions can get some good results."
Strictly speaking, Lin Shuwen indirectly caused dozens of shadow killers similar to "Yan" to lose something because of his willfulness and arbitrariness. In Feng Xuyuan's view, these two representatives who are on similar opposite sides need to
An exchange - it would be good for them both.
"I……"
The music in the earphones suddenly became a little noisy. Yun Luoyan kept changing the songs, but couldn't find any song that wasn't disturbing. She unplugged the earphones and hesitated on the armrest of the sofa.
"Yan, don't force yourself, or if you want to beat him up, just go ahead! If something happens, I'll stop him!"
"..."
Yun Luoyan closed her eyes, nodded slightly, walked slowly to the elevator, and passed by "Die" who was late.
"Put that man's matter aside for now, Xu Feng."
Seeing "Yan"'s figure blocked by the closed door, Lan Ruxin retracted her legs and changed from a playful smile to sitting upright. She leaned slightly against the back of the sofa, waiting for Xu Feng's report.
"Thirty-four of our team members are in the intensive care unit, 63 soldiers have minor injuries, and the death toll is 52."
"call……"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and bowed their heads in silence. Qianhe in the room listened to the communication on the earphones and sprinkled fifty-two drops of pure water in front of the soul sending array to send off their souls in the way of a psychic.
A few minutes later, Qianhe completed the ceremony, activated the teleportation magic, and came to the hill where Shusa had been. Ignoring the moon wolves and blood hunters who were cleaning the battlefield, Qianhe activated the pure spirit modified by Shusa's magic circle.
Array.
"Tell me, the number of people we failed to protect."
"According to reports from observers, there are four hundred humans who have been cursed with blood, including those who were sent off by Lin Shuwen."
"Is there anyone alive?"
"It's a pity
regret……"
Xu Feng cut off the connection with all the members, and his next words were directed at Wutong's internal staff.
"I checked the local files and found no reports of missing persons."
Lan Ruxin raised her eyebrows, slowly took out the lighter from her pocket, held it in front of her, and lit it up one by one.
"Whose responsibility?"
Everyone in Wutong held their breath. The eldest sister's tone clearly contained murderous intent. Xu Feng held his eyes and swallowed.
"should……"
"Um?"
Lan Ruxin glanced at Xu Feng, and the gaze at that moment made him hold his breath. The sound of ignition came one after another, like a countdown, urging him to quickly scan the report.
"It's the Xiuying clan itself. According to the identification of the corpses, nearly 90% of them are related to each other. And through the collection of recent police cases, several cases of searching for missing auxiliary police officers were discovered. However,
, only auxiliary police officers are sent to deal with missing persons..."
"Tsk..."
"It's normal. After all, in the peaceful and prosperous times, no one would think that a living person would disappear completely. According to people's inertial thinking, it is likely to be handled by accident or by leaving without saying goodbye."
Feng Xuyuan's words put away Lan Ruxin's murderous intention. Those guardians on the surface were not shadow killers. They were accustomed to the disturbance of peace, and were not on the frontline of life and death like them. The sound of lighting fires finally stopped,
Lan Ruxin closed her eyes. After a few minutes, with her lowered eyes showing sadness, Lan Ruxin issued the final solution.
"There should be some old pipelines left by chemical plants here, right?"
"Yes"
"Notify logistics to blow up the battlefield, disguise it as a pipeline explosion, and then, eh?"
"But responsibility..."
"If someone wants to keep his hat, he will block the news for us, but..."
Lan Ruxin lowered her head and closed the lighter in her hand. Xu Feng closed his laptop and stood up. The bonsai beside him swept across the hem of his shirt, and the military advisor's figure disappeared behind the door.
"You guys go do what you like to do. This war... farce, I really have had enough..."
Lan Ruxin was unwilling to call this action a war. This farce-like incident made her irritated. No matter the cause, the ending, or even the development of the whole thing, it was like child's play. She kicked the coffee table irritably, and everyone in Wutong
Everyone in Shixiangdi fled, and only Feng Xuyuan and Lan Ruxin were left in the originally noisy hall.
"Sister Yuan..."
"You just lack the experience as a commander..."
Feng Xuyuan stroked the sleeping moon in her arms and spoke peacefully.
"I have also participated in dozens of missions!"
"But every time you handed over the command to Xu Feng and rushed into the enemy camp without thinking about anything, didn't you?"
"so what?!"
"So you have not shouldered the responsibility as a commander. The person who took the life with his own hands will not feel other responsibilities, because all the responsibilities are on the person who is talking and laughing."
Feng Xuyuan looked at Lan Ruxin, stood up from the sofa, and walked to her side.
"Hidden in the talk and laughter is a heart that will regard the broken skin of the suicide squad as its own fault. This is the commander."
Holding her silent sister in her arms, Feng Xuyuan sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa, letting Lan Ruxin lean on her chest.
"Those who are only responsible for reputation and influence will never understand why some people feel pain for lives that have nothing to do with them. Everything that passes away here is not your fault, but everything that passes away here will be borne by you."
The scorching sun at noon bakes the earth, but that brilliance will never belong to its creator.
Perhaps only the shadows underfoot are the possessions of those watchers.
