Chapter 4 Chapter 4 So Sweet

In the dim light, a faint blue light appeared on the bony hands.

No one knows what specific capabilities the other party has used, we only know that this should be some kind of detection method.

As the only light in the phantom, when the man's hand was rubbed again and again, a distorted and expanded shadow fell uncontrollably on the glass bottle. The darkness covered the teardrops, revealing a sense of occupation in the strange light and shadow.

Su Yuan heard the cloaked men's heartbeats accelerating significantly, and they seemed to be worried that the things they handed in would be exposed.

The factor of tension was leaping in the air, and when the sound of swallowing saliva reached Su Yuan's ears, Su Yuan felt some discomfort.

Although Su Yuan's sight was still on the virtual image, his eyes shifted uncontrollably. He tried his best to ignore the man's expression of enjoyment and fascination and the strange movement of touching the bottle, and looked at the sculpture that was barely visible in the background of the picture.

The faint fluorescence slightly illuminated the surrounding scene. The sculpture that was not clear just now could now be vaguely seen in some details under the focused gaze.

The only thing that is outlined in the picture is the statue's left foot.

Rather than the specific shape of the exposed part of the statue, what caught Su Yuan's attention first was the chain carved at the ankle.

The exquisite chains shackled his freedom. The feeling of being bound seemed to be transmitted across the space. The unspeakable oppression made Su Yuan a little breathless.

Su Yuan's attention quickly shifted away from the sculpture, and his fragile eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

Su Yuan didn't want to pay any attention to what the man opposite him was going to do with his tears, but he still caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

The hand, whose bones were so distinct that it seemed as if it had no flesh and blood, was slightly tilted, as if it was carefully taking out an extremely precious treasure. The man slowly and solemnly poured a little of the liquid inside onto another finger.

The moment he saw his tears touch those somewhat eerie fingertips, Su Yuan's body shook uncontrollably.

Su Yuan quickly realized that the goose bumps that suddenly spread across his body were not caused by his own psychology.

The card master's treacherous abilities far exceeded his imagination.

When Su Yuan's pupils slightly opened in disbelief as she saw the man lowering his head to lick away the tears that had flowed out, Su Yuan didn't have time to feel ashamed of his behavior before the sudden burst of feeling in her body made her breathing disordered.

The other party seemed to have built some kind of connection with tears and used it to explore something deeper.

The feeling of tears was completely transmitted to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan closed his eyes, feeling somewhat overwhelmed, but the feeling of being licked by the poisonous snake did not disappear at all.

Su Yuan could clearly feel that his eyes were being savored by something. A creepy cold and sticky feeling kept spreading to the vulnerable parts of his body. His nerves were oppressed by the biting cold, and Su Yuan was so aroused that he couldn't help but shiver slightly.

The cold licking sensation did not transfer to his eyelids even though he closed his eyes. It still acted on his eyes that were secreting tears. His attempts to avoid it were completely useless and he was forced to endure it.

Fragile eyes will even subconsciously avoid being contaminated by water. Su Yuan felt uncomfortable when water accidentally got into his eyes while washing his face, let alone being tasted bit by bit by someone's tongue.

The unprecedented sourness and swelling pain made Su Yuan close his eyes instinctively, but his eyelashes were still trembling constantly.

Eyes that couldn't stand this kind of stimulation should have shed tears, but Su Yuan's eyes only had an uncontrollable, vivid crimson color at the corners, and no crystal tears shed.

Maybe this feeling was just an illusion, just the feeling of tears being licked projected onto his eyes. His eyes were not actually being sucked by the tip of the tongue, and would not trigger any rational reaction.

It is also possible that his newly secreted tears have been licked away.

Su Yuan's back was trembling slightly, and the cold tongue seemed to have taken away all his warmth. Beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, and his soft hair was wet, sticking to his cheeks which looked even more crystal clear under the light.

Su Yuan could hardly bear it anymore, his breathing became more disordered, and in order not to be discovered, he could only bite his lips.

As the man stopped moving and chuckled strangely, his abnormal and strange voice sounded.

"So sweet." He murmured in a sigh.

Su Yuan pursed her lips. The cold feeling on her body did not subside at all, and she shivered slightly again.

"You did a great job." The man, whose identity and appearance were unknown, spoke slowly and leisurely. He seemed very satisfied. "Go and claim your reward."

The surrounding light dimmed, and the communication established by the optical computer was cut off.

The light seemed to have dimmed due to the end of its life span, but it still illuminated the relief and disbelief on the faces of the two cloaked men.

"I actually managed to get away with it!" The elder was surprised and relieved. "It turns out that you really don't know what will drop from that instance."

"But..." He paused, a little worried, "Isn't it a bad idea for us to do this? If we are found out that we are using fake things to get the job done..."

The person next to him interrupted him, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how can we be discovered? This development is much better than us not being able to hand over the goods. It's better to get something to fool people than to die on the spot."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Let's continue to track down that guy in secret. When we get the things back, we will naturally be able to atone for our sins."

The person next to him hesitated for a moment and could only nod.

The lamp that was emitting a faint light seemed to be about to be scrapped after witnessing the scene just now, and it made a crackling sound of electricity.

The matter came to a temporary end, and the two did not stay in the room and left this extremely shabby temporary residence.

Unlike when they came, they did not try to conceal their footsteps when they left.

The corridor outside seemed quite deserted, and it seemed like it would collapse at any time under the sound of footsteps, and it kept making strange creaking noises.

Accompanying him as he walked away were two other people who were having a somewhat strange conversation.

"Is the stuff in that bottle sweet? I should have tried it earlier."

"When we catch that guy, we'll ask him for the order."

…

Su Yuan did not relax because the matter was over. It was as if the eerie feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake was spreading through his body.

He waited for a long time, and when he felt that the two had completely walked away, he stepped back, breathing lightly, and distanced himself from Yan Zhou.

The air became quiet, and Su Yuan forced himself to ignore the discomfort caused by the mysterious man.

He recalled in a fanciful way what happened after he met the protagonist.

This kind of plot start is very common.

The protagonist, who was originally a law-abiding person, accidentally broke into an undercurrent of conspiracy. From then on, his life was no longer peaceful, and he grew up step by step amid the successive crises.

that is--

Su Yuan thought about the statue that was controlled by chains, the sun pattern that seemed to be wriggling faintly, and——

Su Yuan pursed his lips even more.

The mysterious man who ate his tears.

This secret organization that has established an antagonistic relationship with Yan Zhou seems like some kind of evil cult.

Su Yuan shifted his gaze back to Yan Zhou. The handsome and eye-catching young man seemed to be in deep thought.

The protagonist always has different discoveries and keen insights. Su Yuan is somewhat curious about what key information Yan Zhou will capture.

Yan Zhou was thinking seriously and solemnly. Su Yuan was afraid of disturbing him, so he didn't dare to make any noise. He just looked at him obediently.

The lights flickered on and off, and the spreading darkness made the surrounding atmosphere heavy.

When Yan Zhou finally got rid of this state of thought and raised his head, Su Yuan felt a little nervous with anticipation.

Su Yuan felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about the fact that his tears were controlled by this organization.

In just a second, Su Yuan's eyelashes curled up in confusion.

"Is it really sweet?" The young man with a sparse face and dark eyebrows asked Su Yuan after thinking for a long time.

Su Yuan: “?” The thing Yan Zhou was thinking so seriously about just now turned out to be this?

Su Yuan thought Yan Zhou was thinking about something serious and didn't know how to react.

He also had no idea why Yan Zhou could ask such a question in such a serious manner.

The owner pursed the beautiful lips, and just when Su Yuan was about to show an unnatural expression, Su Yuan's body instinctively became tense.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the room, and the whistling sound came with force.

Without the barrier of the door, the crackling sound of electricity became more frequent and the lights kept changing.

Su Yuan heard the sound of Yan Zhou's clothes being blown in the wind, and the distorted light also made Yan Zhou's shadow deform and lengthen. Su Yuan found that he was being enveloped by Yan Zhou's shadow little by little, and he felt panicky as if he was about to be swallowed up by something.

Not sure if it was caused by the strange lighting, but Su Yuan felt that there were some subtle changes in Yan Zhou's pupils.

When Yan Zhou stared at him, he looked as frightening and unsettling as an eagle.

Su Yuan felt a sense of danger and strangeness from Yan Zhou, and he almost subconsciously wanted to step back.

When Yan Zhou's face got closer to him, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Just when Su Yuan felt that he was being locked by something, he saw Yan Zhou's eyelids droop.

Yan Zhou's body was still falling forward. He suddenly saw the remaining mental power potion on the ground and saw Su Yuan. He suddenly realized that it was the side effect of Yan Zhou's forced consumption of mental power.

Most of the anxiety that had just arisen in his heart disappeared. Su Yuan stood aside and let Yan Zhou, who could not bear the unconsciousness, fall to the ground.

Yan Zhou's forced awakening card caused him to fall into a brief coma.

Listening to the dull sound of the floor being hit by Yan Zhou and looking at the large amount of dust raised by it, Su Yuan did not feel any guilt at all for not catching Yan Zhou in time.

Although it was caused by side effects, it was Yan Zhou's fault for acting a little scary just now.

The wind gradually died down and the lights returned to normal. It was not until this moment that Su Yuan had the mind to recall all the things that had happened before.

First, Su Pinxue was anxious to wake him up. As one of the aristocratic families, the Su family seemed to know some secret things in advance, and reacted as if something bad would happen to him if he didn't wake up.

Then, something strange happened in the copy. After he was dragged into a magical space, he became a new card for Yan Zhou's awakening.

Maybe that magical space is the card space where the cards stay?

Su Yuan thought uncertainly.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his body which was no different from that of a normal person. He thought about his card ability that could make people temporarily become virtual. He didn't understand why he turned into a card while lying in the hospital.

In fact, Su Yuan had no idea how to proceed. He only had some basic common sense about this world and had no knowledge related to cards.

Su Yuan's eyelids drooped listlessly.

It seems that the only thing we can do is take one step at a time and follow the protagonist to see if we can find the answer around him.

Su Yuan's gaze fell on Yan Zhou, who looked quite embarrassed.

However, his memory of the plot did seem to be awakened.

But he still didn't know what the organization was, what the purpose was behind it, and what role the man who looked extraordinary would play.

Su Yuan only had some thoughts about what was about to happen in his mind.

For example, he remembered that according to the development of the plot, after the protagonist killed the two people just now, he would continue to be hunted down again. Realizing that his future life would be full of crises, the protagonist had no choice but to choose to enter the First Card Academy to seek protection from the Card Academy.

And now, Yan Zhou failed to kill those two people, and there is a high probability that he will not be hunted down by people with more terrifying strength. It has become an unknown whether he will be able to enter the academy to study.

Su Yuan's nose, which had turned a little pink due to the cold wind, wrinkled slightly.

The plot still seems to be a bit broken.

After thinking for a while, Su Yuan still felt that it was necessary to facilitate Yan Zhou's admission to the college.

The academy provides more professional and systematic card knowledge. Whether for Yan Zhou himself or for him, Yan Zhou should enter the academy.

But how to make this happen?

*

The moment Yan Zhou regained consciousness, everything that had just happened flashed through his mind.

The cold floor caused a slight pain in his body. When Yan Zhou supported himself with his hands and stood up again, he ignored his messy and dirty clothes and looked around hurriedly.

After seeing that the beautiful card he had awakened was still standing safely by the side, Yan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this emotion did not last, because as his blurry vision became clearer, he saw the young man looking at the ground sadly, his long eyelashes looked particularly pitiful because they were drooped by their owner.

Yan Zhou's heart suddenly became nervous.
