Chapter 43
After Pei Zhao and the other three shared their guesses, Zhou Yuli's face changed.
Bai Zhou jumped up from the ground, with two sparks hanging in front of him: "...I'm cold, really cold."
Lan Ji's face also looked unhappy: "So, the thing we watched for a long time last night is very likely a monster from another world?"
Pei Zhao's face turned pale: "Yeah. But I don't know if it has anything to do with the missing case."
If there was contact, then they would have probably lost their best chance to save the twelve students...and who knows if those twelve people are still alive.
"Don't think too much." Pei Zhao's shoulders sank, Zhou Yuli's aura enveloped him, "I'll tell Zhou Ran that I won't be going back today. As long as he's still here, he'll definitely look for a target."
Pei Zhao raised his head: "What you mean is..."
Zhou Yuli lowered his head, looked at him intently, and nodded: "I will be the target tonight and catch him."
…
"No, I don't agree."
In the puppet shop, Pei Zhao sat cross-legged on the ground with a gloomy face: "What the hell is this? The puppet takes action while the master watches? Don't even think about it. I won't agree to Zhou Yuli taking risks."
Zhou Yuli half-knelt behind him, gently rubbed his shoulders, and asked in a soft voice: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
Pei Zhao twisted his shoulders: "Don't coax me, I said I don't agree."
Zhou Yuli said helplessly: "I will fix the vines to the ground, don't worry."
"No! Can't you hear me saying no?" Pei Zhao got angry and shook off Zhou Yuli's hand, stopping him from pinching it.
Bai Zhou and Lan Ji looked at each other, and Bai Zhou tentatively said, "...Then I'll go?"
Pei Zhao glanced at him: "No, you are not my puppet?"
Bai Zhou was speechless: "I...I should be Lan's puppet...right?"
Pei Zhao rolled his eyes and looked like he was about to get angry. Bai Zhou didn't dare to say anything. Lan Ji opened his mouth and wanted to say that he was not a puppet but ice crystal, but looking at Pei Zhao's expression, he didn't dare to say it.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji didn't dare to say anything and ran away under the pretext of cleaning.
Zhou Yuli had no choice but to touch Pei Zhao's hand. After Pei Zhao dodged awkwardly, Zhou Yuli laughed: "Don't be angry. I don't usually feel that way. Why do you have a bit of the temperament of a feudal patriarch?"
Pei Zhao glared at him: "You call me a feudal patriarch? I am responsible. I rescued all of you from the other world one by one. Don't even think about letting me watch you die."
Zhou Yuli was helpless: "It's not like he's sending himself to die, it's just a bait. He has the ability to stay with him, so he won't be in danger."
"What if! What if something happens——"
To Zhou Yuli's surprise, Pei Zhao's eyes turned red. "Have you ever thought about what would happen to Lan Ji if Bai Zhou got into trouble? What would happen to Bai Zhou if Lan Ji got into trouble? And," he said, with a crying tone, "what would I do if something happened to you?"
Pei Zhao is not a feudal patriarch, he just has no choice but to watch the person he cares about leave in front of him.
Pei Zhao sniffed. He didn't want to look bitter or self-willed, so he turned his head away and said, "It's settled. I'll do it. Otherwise, no one else can talk."
Pei Zhao closed his eyes and tried to calm down. He was in a terrible mood. The next second, he was embraced by a warm embrace.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have made you sad," Zhou Yuli's voice sounded very close to him, "but you have to promise me that you will not let go of the vines. If there is any danger, run immediately."
Zhou Yuli's voice was soft, but it was filled with comfort. Pei Zhao was held in his arms, and he felt his deep voice echoing in his mind. The feeling of being controlled yesterday came back to him.
Pei Zhao felt his heart was full, and he nodded stupidly: "Okay... I agree..."
Zhou Yuli chuckled and hugged him tighter.
Behind the counter, Bai Zhou and Lan Ji peeked in cautiously.
Lan Ji raised his eyebrows: "Have the two of them broken the window paper?"
Bai Zhou touched his chin and said, "Aren't they always like this? The first time I saw them, they looked like old lovers."
Lan Ji shook his head: "It was obviously the wrong channel before, but it's different now. These two people are on the same channel."
Bai Zhou was curious: "What will happen if the channel is connected?"
Lan Ji said: "Same as us."
Bai Zhou blinked, leaned forward, and kissed Lan Ji: "Like this?"
Lan Ji looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Yeah, that's also possible." After saying that, he kissed him deeply.
…
After three seconds of silence, a human figure with shriveled wings jumped out of the window, sat down on the ground with a unfriendly look on his face.
"That's enough, one, two, three, four. Can you please stop being affectionate in front of me all the time?"
Pei Zhao was startled, and before he could react, he saw vines rising up from all directions, rushing towards the middle in an overwhelming manner. At the same time, a fire phoenix and icicles flew straight towards the man.
The man's eyes flashed, leaving a red line. Pei Zhao immediately reacted and exclaimed.
"What?" He frowned. "Stop it!"
All the attacks paused half a foot in front of Miu Yi, and disappeared in an instant the next second.
"... I was scared to death." Miu Yi just couldn't help but complain, not really wanting to die. He patted his chest and sat down on the ground, "I almost thought I was going to die, even though I'm immortal..."
Miu Yi was so busy talking to himself that he didn't notice that the eyes of the three people around him changed as he muttered.
Bai Zhou: "What did you say?"
Lan Ji: "Say it again."
Zhou Yuli: "Why can you become a human?"
Bai Zhou & Lan Ji:?
Bai Zhou pointed at Miu Yi and jumped up: "Yes! Why did you become a human?"
Miu Yi didn't understand what they were making a fuss about. "I was conscious after I came out. You told me that turning into a puppet was just a process. I really thought I was going to die."
Bai Zhou was almost speechless: "Originally... he was dead."
You know, even he and Lan Ji were able to survive because of their love for each other, so what else could they rely on? Could it be that Pei Zhao fell in love with him at first sight?
They were shocked when they thought about it, and it was even harder for Zhou Yuli to accept it.
He couldn't help but be shocked and even sad. His eyes fell on Pei Zhao, with a hint of nostalgia and confusion, but in the end he just dimmed his eyes, "Pei Zhao, you treat him..."
"Always talking about love in front of you. You saw it last night, right?"
Before Zhou Yuli could ask, Pei Zhao exploded first. He pointed at Miu Yi and said shockingly: "You saw everything in the hotel last night, didn't you? You deliberately didn't change back to a human, so you deliberately spied on us, didn't you?"
Zhou Yuli felt as if a feeling of grievance was stuck in his throat, but with Pei Zhao's angry curse, the feeling inexplicably dissipated, and his heavy mood disappeared in an instant.
Miu Yi was still unconvinced: "I'm not saying anything, but you two are really shameless, shame shame shame——"
Pei Zhao picked up the broom at the door and chased after Miu Yi, beating him and cursing: "What are you talking about, you little brat? Peeping and gossiping, today I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Bai Zhou poked Lan Ji: "You guessed right, they really did..."
Lan Ji raised the corner of his mouth: "I'll tell you."
The store was noisy. Zhou Yuli saw that Pei Zhao was tired from running, so he tied up Miu Yi with vines, helped Pei Zhao sit down, and poured him a glass of water. Pei Zhao drank the water, took a deep breath, and asked Miu Yi in a bad tone: "How did you become a human?"
Miu Yi was tied up tightly and could only lie on the ground, unable to move. Hearing this, he thought for a while: "I don't know. When I regained consciousness, there was only a ball of white light in front of my eyes, and then I heard your voices... But I was too tired and my body was in pain, as if I had grown bones. It was so painful that I fainted. When I woke up, I saw you two..."
"Okay, I get it!" Pei Zhao interrupted him and turned to Zhou Yuli and said, "It sounds like he met someone who loves him directly."
Zhou Yuli nodded and asked Miu Yi: "Do you have a romantic partner or relatives who love you?"
Miuyi immediately said: "Of course! My people, people all over the world, should love my noble and elegant Miuyi bloodline..."
Everyone was speechless, especially Bai Zhou, whose face was full of disdain.
Miu Yi was angry: "No! No, that's enough! No one loves me!"
Pei Zhao shook his head: "Impossible, otherwise you can't become a human."
Miu Yi was dissatisfied: "I told you that no one loves you, why don't you believe it? It's impossible... No, there is a possibility, but it's impossible..."
Everyone was about to be confused by him, Bai Zhou said: "Who is it? Just be straightforward and stop beating around the bush."
His usually unremarkable face was now filled with sadness. He only said, "...It's my brother. I have no relatives. The only person I know, besides you, is him."
It's his brother.
Pei Zhao remembered the crazy, skinny human in the cave.
"How could it be him?" Bai Zhou didn't believe it. "We have already left the other world. He couldn't have followed us out."
unless……
Bai Zhou's eyes suddenly widened, and the four of them quickly exchanged glances and checked their answers tacitly.
The answers were consistent.
Unless it was the monster they met in the dark alley, who had sneaked into the real world.
It’s Miuyi’s brother.
…
The action plan for that night changed, and Pei Zhao was mistakenly used as bait. He struggled for a moment between humanitarianism and the idea of "silencing" him, but the pendulum in his heart still leaned towards humanitarianism. He not only asked Zhou Yuli to tie vines on several points of his body, but also asked Bai Zhou to make several small explosive points with sparks and hide them in his clothes.
Vampires seemed to be born not liking warm flames and were very disgusted with Bai Zhou's sparks. Lan Ji, out of kindness, made him a spherical glass cover, which made Miu Yi happy.
"Next time, please make me some round beads. They're cool and comfortable!"
Before Lan Ji agreed, Bai Zhou snapped his fingers first, and a series of sparks flew up to Miu Yi's wings, scaring him so much that he jumped three feet away.
"...small-minded!" Miu Yi cursed angrily.
Pei Zhao did not forget to call Zhou Ran, but before he could say anything, Zhou Ran told him that the school had suspended classes, all students were locked in the dormitories, and had to sign in every day. They were not allowed to enter or leave, and students outside the school were asked to remain silent. In short, they were to cooperate with the police and keep the entire area quiet.
Zhou Ran also reminded Zhou Yuli to take good care of Pei Zhao and himself and never go out. It is said that two more students lost contact during the day, and it is not yet certain whether they are missing.
After Pei Zhao agreed, he turned around and told Zhou Yuli and others the news.
"It seems that he is not hiding, but we just haven't found him."
Bai Zhou said to Miu Yi, "Hey, I can make you some ice beads, but you have to catch that guy today."
When Miu Yi heard this, he was delighted: "I guarantee to complete the task!"
