Chapter 121 He was isolated and helpless.
Lin Mian leaned against the RV and heard the noise coming from the distant streets finally calm down, so he turned around and looked over.
After a while, Jiang Yan came over from that side. When he got close, he touched the back of his neck and pulled him closer. Then he bent down and kissed him on the mouth, "Little rabbit, there's only one left."
Seeing the joy in his eyes, Lin Mian also smiled, raised his hand to touch the man's face, and leaned over to give him a kiss in return.
As his soft lips pressed against hers, Jiang Jie's lips curled up into a smile. As the man retreated, he let go of him and said, "We just found an excuse to separate and search for supplies. I have to go back. I can't keep them waiting too long."
"Okay." Lin Mian nodded and watched him turn and leave.
Jiang Jie stepped back into the mall, stopped at the entrance where he could still see clearly, turned on the flashlight, and walked in one direction.
He stepped onto the out-of-service elevator and walked down step by step without slowing down his footsteps. People on the lower floors should be able to notice it.
"Brother Jiang, how is it?"
A beam of light shone from not far away. In the dim light, Liang Nan poked his head out from behind a shelf, and his question seemed to have two meanings.
Jiang Jie stepped forward and said, "There's little evidence of looting upstairs, but there are still quite a few common supplies left. If necessary, I can take Li Yuan to search for them later."
"Okay, we've almost finished installing it here." Liang Nan turned around and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder.
"Then let's go up and finish it as soon as possible. It's not safe for Junior Brother Lin and the other two to stay outside." Cheng Yuefeng spoke up at the right time. He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling.
"Junior Brother Cheng, what you said makes sense." Jiang Yan's eyes fell on him, with a half-smile on his face.
Cheng Yuefeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the feeling became even stronger.
In this state of anxiety, they went upstairs together, collected all the necessary supplies, and were finally able to leave the mall.
Lin Mian was leaning against the passenger window, bored out of his mind. When he saw them coming out, he straightened up and asked loudly, "Anything?"
Liang Nan raised his hand and gave him an OK sign, "Of course."
Cheng Yuefeng's gaze now turned to the SUV behind him. The door was open, just like when they left, but there was no one inside. He was stunned and asked anxiously, "Where's Qi Shang?!"
Lin Mian, who was half leaning out of the car window, looked over and replied, "He just said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and then he went..."
He raised his hand as if hesitating to recall something, then pointed to a street corner, "That alley over there, it's been a while."
"His leg is injured, how could you let him go alone!" The uneasiness made Cheng Yuefeng unable to control his emotions and he raised his voice, as if questioning the other party.
When the other three people's eyes fell on his face, he realized that he was a little excited. He calmed down and said, "Sorry, I'm just a little worried."
"It's okay," Lin Mian didn't mind at all. He might get even more emotional later. "He wants to go by himself, and I can't force him to follow."
Cheng Yuefeng nodded absentmindedly and walked over there, "I'll go look for him."
Liang Nan glanced at Jiang Jie and the others, then pulled Li Yuan along with him, "Let's go take a look too."
Watching them walk one after another into the streets over there, Jiang Yan retracted his gaze, raised his hand and pinched Lin Mian's cheek, "Little rabbit, why are you getting better at lying?"
"I learned this from you," Lin Mian tilted his head innocently, "Don't they say that those who keep company with vermilion become red, and those who keep company with ink become black?"
Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "So am I the Zhu or the Mo?"
Lin Mian narrowed his eyes and said, "You guess for yourself."
Jiang Yan chuckled and pinched his cheek and shook it lightly.
Lin Mianren pinched him twice, raised his hand to hold his wrist, glanced at the distance, and said, "Cheng Yuefeng seems to care about his cousin."
Jiang Yan sneered when he heard this, and then he looked over there, "He doesn't care about Qi Shang, he's just scared."
Liu Yang has died in unclear circumstances. If something happens to Qi Shang, he might be the next one to die, although he still doesn't know what he did to make people so disgusted.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people who had turned into the street walked out quickly. Cheng Yuefeng, who was in the front, even looked a little panicked.
He walked quickly to the side of the car, but stopped when his eyes met Jiang Jie, and his whole body became a little stiff.
Jiang Yan raised his lips and smiled at him, watching him take two steps back under his gaze.
Every time he met this kind of gaze, Cheng Yuefeng felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his whole body was cold, and he subconsciously avoided it.
"Lin Mian, did Qi Shang really go over there?" Liang Nan followed over and glanced at Jiang Jie before saying, "There's no one in the alley."
"Huh?" Lin Mian blinked in confusion, "I watched him go by."
He was not lying. He really watched the other person "pass away". No matter how it happened, it passed away anyway.
"That's strange..." Liang Nan muttered, "Why don't we look around? Maybe he's gone..."
"No need!" Cheng Yuefeng suddenly spoke, his eyes drifting a little, looking very nervous. He reached out and grabbed Liang Nan's arm, "Let's go, let's get out of here quickly."
Liang Nan felt a little pain from being grabbed by him. He tried to pull his hand away but failed, so he could only say, "What are you talking about? Isn't he your cousin?"
Cheng Yuefeng seemed to realize that he had said something wrong again. He retracted his hand and said, "I was wondering if there were any dangers around here, or if there were any hidden mutants or something like that."
"That means we have to find Qi Shang even more," Liang Nan folded her arms and looked at him. She felt so guilty and flustered that she didn't dare look at Jiang Jie for a long time. It seemed that she had really done something wrong to him and was afraid of retaliation. She snorted, "Should we split up and look for him?"
"Let's go together," Cheng Yuefeng said stiffly, glancing towards Jiang Jie. "If there's any danger, there's safety in numbers."
Liang Nan glanced at Jiang Jie. When he didn't say anything, she nodded. "Okay, that makes sense."
"Lin Mian and I won't go," Jiang Jie leaned against the car wall and said, "If he comes back later, there will be someone to pick him up."
Hearing what he said, Liang Nan was a little speechless. Could he really come back? She raised her hand to touch her nose, but said, "Okay, then let's go look for it nearby first."
Before leaving, Cheng Yuefeng looked at Jiang Jie again. The other party still had that half-smile on his face. He suddenly withdrew his gaze and followed Liang Nan and the others who had left first.
"Brother Jie, I think he is a little nervous." Lin Mian leaned on his arm and tilted his head to look at the man leaning next to him.
Jiang Yan looked at the direction where they left and raised his lips, "Otherwise, why would I keep him until now?"
Physical torture alone is not enough. We must first destroy his spirit and let him face death in this emotional collapse.
It was naturally impossible for them to find Qi Shang, who had been burned to ashes by Jiang Jie, and they could only return empty-handed in the end.
When he came back, Cheng Yuefeng looked a little dazed, as if he was too worried because he couldn't find his cousin.
But Jiang Yan, who knew him well enough, knew that the other party only knew that Qi Shang was 100% dead, without any trace, as if this person had never existed, and the real murderer might be right next to him, and he was worried that it would be his turn soon.
This trip may have been a "conspiracy" from the very beginning, and he was isolated and helpless.
How pitiful.
Jiang Jie sat in the car, looking at him through the window. While he was sighing in his heart, he smiled brightly. Facing the same strong sunlight as today, his eyes were shining.
In contrast, Cheng Yuefeng, who was walking in the shadow of the building, was in an extremely gloomy mood. There was a hint of cruelty in his slightly lowered eyes. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
"Okay, let's drive around the city and take a look." Seeing him with his head down and not saying a word, Liang Nan raised his hand and patted his shoulder as a comfort.
Cheng Yuefeng raised his head, pushed up his glasses, and smiled slightly, "Yeah."
Seeing this, Liang Nan withdrew his hand and walked away first, went to the RV, stood under the window and talked to Jiang Jie, discussing going there first.
Li Yuan first went to the RV and reached out to open the driver's door.
But just as he put his hand on it, the psychic's instinctive sense of danger made his back feel cold, and he subconsciously moved to the side to avoid it.
The sharp water spikes brushed past his arm, tearing his clothes and leaving blood marks, and then shattered the car window the next second.
Immediately afterwards, his body, which had not yet stabilized, was suddenly kicked away by someone. He fell to the ground and rolled twice due to inertia. He coughed with a bloody taste in his throat, and the pain in his abdomen made him unable to get up for a while.
What happened in an instant even made his mind dizzy, until a loud shout was heard.
"Cheng Yuefeng! What are you doing?!"
Li Yuan looked up as he heard the voice. The off-road vehicle sped past him, and the wheels almost scraped his scalp. He was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and sat up abruptly.
When I looked over again, the off-road vehicle had already driven some distance away.
"Fuck! Brother Jiang, Cheng Yuefeng ran away!" Liang Nan exclaimed as he ran over to help Li Yuan up from the ground. He was relieved to see that he didn't have any serious injuries. He was the only person with space abilities in their safe zone.
run?
Jiang Jie looked at the SUV gradually moving away in the rearview mirror, calmly raised his hand to the outside of the car window, and gently moved his fingers.
The flowing water rushed out at an extremely fast speed, like a stream of light.
He bent his arms, which were hanging outside, and placed them beside his face, staring at the rearview mirror with a smile on his face.
Soon, a "bang" sound was heard from a distance. It was the sound of a tire bursting, followed by a harsh sound of brakes.
In the rearview mirror, the off-road vehicle lost its balance after a tire burst. Even after emergency braking, it still slid into the flower bed on the side of the road where there were no plants left. It barely stopped and a burst of black smoke came out from the rear tire.
Jiang Jie chuckled, then opened the car door and got out.
How could he let the prey run away when it was right in front of him? He just wanted to let him enjoy the happiness of a successful escape for a short while.
