Chapter 48 Clean Up for Me
At twelve o'clock in the night, there was a gust of cold wind near the tower.
Li Muhan could even hear some strange crying sounds faintly coming from the tower.
"It seems these guys are very active."
Huang Zizai stroked his beard, shook his long sleeves, took out a walkie-talkie, and spoke to the Taoists and monks who had already taken their positions according to a certain formation diagram.
"Everyone, get in position. Tonight is crucial. I'm telling you, you must not let us down. The Chongming Bird is our last resort. Only if we and our dear Captain Li fail, can we use it."
Li Muhan knew that the so-called foreign aid referred to himself.
But this Captain Li really sounds weird no matter how you listen to him, especially when it comes from Huang Zi's wretched mouth.
Thinking of this, he looked at Chi Yuan on the side and found that the other party was still a little timid, cowering behind Sasha, with no intention of taking action.
"This tower not only imprisons evil spirits, but also the souls of some innocent people. Their souls are locked in the tower, oppressed and driven by the alien creatures at the top of the tower."
Zhong Ya seemed to see Li Muhan's confusion. He put his hands together, bowed towards the tower, and then continued.
"The power of the Chongming Bird represents a powerful force that suppresses evil. This power does not distinguish between good and evil. The last suppression caused many innocent souls in the tower to be forever without rebirth. This is something we absolutely do not want to see happen again."
"So I need to solve the source. Let me ask you a question first, masters."
Li Muhan put the pistol on his waist and looked at the others.
He was wearing a suit with suspenders, which was provided to him by the Special Management Bureau to facilitate carrying weapons.
After taking off his coat, Li Muhan, wearing only a shirt and suspenders, had a very eye-catching figure. Even Sasha couldn't help but chuckle when she saw him.
No wonder Chi Yuan fell in love with Li Muhan at first sight.
Then he picked up the long backpack, which contained Huo Tian's sword, Fujiang Zhenmo.
"If I take care of that alien, will the evil in the tower just get out of control?"
"Yes."
Huang Zizai said.
"Although that demon is constantly absorbing power from the evil spirits, it has also concentrated all the evil spirits in one place. If that demon suddenly disappears, the resentment that has continued for hundreds of years may raze the entire Tianhai City to the ground."
"Then... why are we doing this? Actually, it seems that thing didn't do anything evil, right?"
The moment Li Muhan asked this question, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
But Huang Zizai just sneered and said.
"In our China, good and evil have always been inseparable. If I don't go to hell, who will? Don't worry. What do you think so many people are here for today? Have you seen the Great Array of Rebirth?"
Li Muhan shook his head.
Huang Zizi stroked his beard, looked at Li Muhan with a squinting eye and a lewd smile and said.
"Then you're in for a treat today. Just go find that bastard, and we'll take care of the rest."
Before Li Muhan had time to think about it, he suddenly felt a gaze behind him.
He turned sharply towards the sight.
Then he saw a head sticking out from the corner of the hut that had been empty for a long time, observing him.
After realizing that he had discovered her, the head immediately retracted. After a while, half of the face appeared again, as if it was reluctant to leave Li Muhan's sight.
"Red Kite?"
Li Muhan looked at Chi Yuan who was hiding in the corner and peeking at him with some confusion.
"She should be talking to Mr. Li about something. You go ahead. It should take more than ten minutes for everything to be ready."
The great monk Zhongya made a gesture of invitation to Li Muhan.
Li Muhan knew that it was not Chi Yuan's fault that she had a strange personality.
It's because she has suffered too much betrayal from humans, but she loves humans from the bottom of her heart, so she has become a little twisted.
He felt some sympathy for Chi Yuan.
You have to know that after being hurt by humans countless times, she is still willing to join the Special Management Bureau to help humans. How deep must her love be to be able to do this?
So he nodded.
At least for her "love", Li Muhan would listen to what she wanted to say.
"What do you want from me?"
He walked to the wall and said to Chi Yuan, who was standing in front of him with his hands folded in front of him, looking a little at a loss.
"That...that is, I...I also want to fight with you. I, I really, really love you..."
"I see."
Li Muhan knew that her love was great love.
Great love for every human being without distinction.
But now Chi Yuan can no longer distinguish these things. She thinks she loves Li Muhan deeply and that Li Muhan is everything to her.
But this blindness was only because Li Muhan happened to say what she wanted to hear most.
Maybe someone else could be used.
Oh, Huang Zizai is not suitable, and the big monk is not suitable either. After all, Chi Yuan is a bit obsessed with looks.
"I used to be able to control my power... but now... I don't know what's going on. My power is always out of control and always hurts those I love."
Having said that, Chi Yuan immediately added something to Li Muhan with a blushing face.
"Ah, but it's you I love most. You're special!"
"…It's okay. Taoist Huang and the others told me that your situation is very special."
"Thank you for your... understanding. I can repay you. I can express my apologies. I can do anything if you need me to."
"ah?"
"Hey! You, you want it now!? Here! But we're about to leave! Okay! Even though I have no experience! But I will try my best to satisfy you!"
"Yarn!"
Seemingly familiar!
Xia Yue was in the same state when she came to her own home for the first time!
Do all of you weird pretty girls have delusions of persecution?
Li Muhan grabbed Chi Yuan's shoulder.
"Listen to me, you don't have to compensate me or repay me, you just have to promise me one thing."
"I do."
Chi Yuan looked at Li Muhan seriously, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.
“…No, I didn’t propose to you.”
"oh……"
Chi Yuan lowered his head in disappointment.
"What's that?"
"If I fail to kill that alien, you have to clean up the mess for me."
Chi Yuan stared at Li Muhan blankly.
Obviously I was willing to do anything, but he asked me to do something so obvious.
"Even if you don't tell me...I will..."
"What I mean is that my power might go out of control. If I'm really pushed to that point, I'm afraid I'll hurt the people in the Special Management Bureau, so you have to kill me before that happens."
Chi Yuan was stunned.
What is he saying.
It's not a proposal of marriage, nor is it a desire for my body.
But he was begging himself to... kill him?
Tears had inadvertently covered Chi Yuan's cheeks.
He looked at the man in front of him, and countless complicated emotions surged in his heart.
The strongest of these was the most sincere and pure love she ever had for humanity.
“…I promise.”
