Chapter 409 The night when the rain falls from the sky
Sarutobi Yuluo was exhausted after a whole day of exploration.
After losing her swordsmanship specialization, her skills were not as good as before, but her combat power score did not drop much. As a result, she had to maintain 100% concentration at all times when exploring, which put a heavy burden on her mentally.
With the last bit of energy and habits he had developed since childhood, he barely wiped his body with water, wrapped himself in a cheap kimono, and lay down on the hard and cold ground.
Soon she fell asleep. Suddenly, there was some movement outside, and she woke up instantly.
"who?"
She did not dare to speak loudly, but listened carefully under the dim light in the residence. A breeze seemed to blow outside the residence.
"illusion?"
Sarutobi Yuruo thought that he was too nervous and mistakenly regarded what happened in the dream as reality.
Just as he was about to lie down again, there was a knock on the door of his residence.
"Who is outside? Is it Mr. Li Zheng?" Sarutobi Yuluo walked behind the door softly, holding the sword he had just summoned with one hand.
It was impossible for the wandering monster to knock on the door so politely. She and Li Zheng were the only two players in the entire channel 995, but she did not rule out the possibility of others entering here by mistake.
"It's me, open the door!" Li Zheng's voice could not be heard clearly through the door panel.
Sarutobi Yuluo nervously grasped the collar of his kimono: "It's so late, what does Mr. Li Zheng want from me?"
She bit her lower lip, originally thinking that Li Zheng, as the number one master of the matrix, should be proud of being a master and would not bully a weak woman like her.
Now it seems that it's nothing more than that. He didn't bother me in the past few days, just pretending.
"Open the door and tell you." Li Zheng could have explained the matter clearly to Sarutobi Yuluo on the regional channel, but the regional combat power list will not be refreshed until the morning, and no one knows if anyone else is lurking in now.
Sarutobi Yuraku was "betrayed" by Misaka Doemon again. In order to cut off contact with him, he even blocked his private messages and refused to accept messages from anyone.
"Is...what's the matter? Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?" There was a tremor in Sarutobi Yuluo's voice. If Li Zheng continued to persist, she would be doomed tonight.
"Tomorrow? It's too late to wait until tomorrow!" Li Zheng knocked on the door again: "Come out quickly!"
Is there anything that must be done tonight?
Apart from things between men and women, Sarutobi Yuluo couldn't think of anything else.
Biting her lower lip hard, her hand holding the sword tightened again and again. After struggling in her heart for a long time, she finally let out a breath.
After all, Li Zheng is the most powerful person in the Matrix. What will happen even if he obeys him?
You won't suffer any loss yourself.
Sarutobi Yuluo freed himself in this way, and the door opened in his heart.
When Li Zheng saw Sarutobi Yuluo's disheveled appearance, he was slightly startled and turned his head away: "Put on your clothes and follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Sarutobi Yuluo hesitated again and again, walked out of the residence, put away the capsule and followed, his heart beating wildly and feeling uneasy.
"That's it." Li Zheng looked around. The surrounding area was empty and the terrain was very good. He was extremely satisfied.
Bang!
The capsule residence was unfolded, and Li Zheng opened the door and took Xiaoying in: "I have given you permission, come in."
Sarutobi Yuluo knew that this was what he was talking about, so he lowered his head and followed him.
"That's the bathroom, go in and wash yourself up later. I'm quite a big man, and I don't care about hygiene. I smell so much, can't I smell it?" Li Zheng said with a hint of disgust, but did not stop and turned around.
He led Sarutobi Yuruo towards the edge of the room.
When you reach the far right after entering the door, a staircase appears in front of you.
The two of them climbed up the stairs and turned two turns in a zigzag pattern before Li Zheng stopped and walked to the platform with Sarutobi Yuluo.
Only then did she realize that Li Zheng’s capsule residence had been transformed from upper to lower floors!
How big is this residence...
How many people must be killed and how many identity cards must be melted to create such a huge space?
Sarutobi Yuluo looked up and saw that there was nothing on this floor. The metal floor was so smooth that it seemed like it could reflect people's reflections.
She subconsciously tightened the skirt between her legs to prevent her from being illuminated by the metal floor.
After all... there is no other clothing underneath her kimono.
Thinking of what might happen next, Sarutobi Yuruo's face turned red, he was ashamed and angry, but he did not dare to speak.
"You'll stay here tonight. If you have a quilt, take it out for cushioning. If you don't have a quilt, you can go to the trading hall to buy one. If you can't buy one, just change into some thick clothes. It's also good to use as a mattress." Li Zheng turned to look at her.
, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, seeming to be a little displeased, and said in a stern tone:
"You are not allowed to go or touch other places without my permission. Do you understand?"
"Ming...I understand." Sarutobi Yuluo nodded in panic.
"Just understand." Li Zheng stood up and went downstairs. When he passed her, he was still worried and warned again and again: "This is the third floor. The second floor is where Xiaoying and I live. The bathroom is on the first floor."
"You can only stay here for one night. No matter what happens or hear any movement at night, you can watch and listen, but you are not allowed to ask, you are not allowed to interfere, and you are not allowed to cause trouble or make your own decisions."
"The things your brother gave me are only enough to save your life. I hope you will cherish this opportunity."
After saying that, Li Zheng went downstairs without looking back and went about his own business.
"Save me?" Sarutobi Yuluo looked at Li Zheng's back walking downstairs and was stunned.
What can save my life?
Is someone trying to hurt me tonight?
who is it?
Misaka Doemon?
still……
Sarutobi Yuluo's thoughts began to spin, and he suddenly caught another important point in Li Zheng's words.
"My brother?!"
There was a look of horror in Sarutobi Yuluo's eyes. Why did this man from the Dragon Kingdom know the most secret things about his family?
Who told him?
Misaka Doemon?
So did Misaka Doemon already know that she was his sister?
Doesn't that mean that... he used his identity as a junior sister to get close to Misaka Doemon, trying to seduce him and make him commit taboo mistakes before confessing, and his plan to torture the Misaka family has already been exposed?
But……
why?
Why is this so?
Since Misaka Doemon knows his identity, why...
Sarutobi Yuruo recalled the way Misaka Doemon stood up to him when the son of the Yagyu Sword God was teasing him.
Looking back now, the way Misaka Doemon looked at him at that time showed no emotion between men and women at all.
But when you are protecting your family, you will have determination and anger, as well as deep... guilt.
Inexplicably, Sarutobi Yuruo felt a pain in his heart, and his mind felt like a mess.
She couldn't figure it out. The Misaka family had harmed her mother like that, and why were they acting coy in front of her now?
Tears blurred his eyes, and Sarutobi Yuluo seemed to be back to that night of heavy rain.
With nowhere to go, I sat at the entrance of a dilapidated alley, with my mother standing behind me in the dim light, talking to a skinny man.
Soon, the mother and the man walked away and entered a motel on the roadside.
When she came out again, her mother was arranging her messy clothes, and the color of the banknotes was visible between her fingers.
As if she didn't want to see the messy scene, her mother said in a slightly stern tone: "Yuluo, turn your head and don't look."
Boom!
Thunder rang out and rain poured down twice.
Sarutobi Yuruo seemed to have returned to that night when the rain fell from the sky.
