Chapter 100 I just asked, it said it didn't
Dusk painted the sky, but was quickly swallowed up by ink. The darkness is like an invisible giant net, trying to pull people into the brink of unconsciousness.
The only light source in the silent house was the jade screen that suddenly lit up with a beeping sound.
AAA The Strongest Batman in the Galaxy: Passed unanimously, will arrive on time tomorrow [Pam Bixin]
This sudden noise obviously startled a lurker, and he moved slightly, making a dull sound like a sword hitting a window frame.
I tilted my head to look, and only caught a glimpse of a black shadow that disappeared quickly. However, at this time, they were the only ones who could exist in such a hidden way without any malice.
Perhaps it would be better to pretend that I didn't know, like a tacit understanding that requires no words to part.
However, I don’t know whether it was out of worry or guilt, but by the time I realized what was happening, I had already opened the blocked window and even stepped back to make room.
"...It's late at night and the dew is heavy. You might catch a cold if you stay out all night. You might as well come in and sleep."
If you want to see me, it makes no difference whether you're inside or outside. In this case, it's probably warmer inside.
Right, so it's just for their physical condition.
There was no response from outside the window. But since there was no other noise, he probably didn't jump directly from the fourth floor.
But there shouldn't be many places to hide outside. He can't be hanging outside by the windowsill, right?
I leaned over and looked down, trying to distinguish every figure on the street under the light of the street lamps, but I couldn't see any familiar figures on the ground or by the windows.
......The stealth skills are improving too fast!
"Yanqing? Danheng? Ren?" I called out their three names one by one, but no one answered.
I can be sure that the person who just made a slight mistake has not left yet, and is very likely to be in a place where he can still see me.
In that case...I took out the throwing knife and deliberately gestured to my wrist.
The next second, a black shadow fell from above to the window like a hawk, and then flipped in and threatened, "If you dare to do anything, I will chop off your hand."
The person who came was "Ren", not "Dan Heng" and "Yan Qing" whom I had just rejected today.
Although I knew that they must have exchanged intelligence and divided the work together, I have to say that seeing "Blade" at this time still made me feel a little relieved.
"Of course I wouldn't dare." I decisively collected the flying knife, indicating that I had no intention of attacking myself.
Although the person was called in, because of what happened today, I always felt that nothing I said would be right at this moment, so I could only say something else, "There is only one pillow, it belongs to me."
In response, Blade said without hesitation, "I took a nap during the day."
It was even like making up for a nap instead of sleeping... I sighed slightly in my heart, pretending that I didn't hear the difference, lying on the bed, closing my eyes, covering myself with the quilt, pretending that I was getting ready to sleep.
So "Blade" said no more, but silently closed the window again, drew the curtains, and put the room completely in darkness.
Half a minute later, I opened my eyes and looked in the direction of the "blade" with a clear mind. "If you keep staring at me like this, I won't be able to sleep."
"Can't sleep?" "Blade" walked over slowly and turned on the bedside lamp.
The soft light illuminates an area, outlining everything in the room.
Then, he returned to his previous position and continued to look at me, motioning, "Do you feel safe now?"
…I’m not feeling uneasy, nor am I feeling unsafe with you around. I wanted to tell him this, but in the end it was just a thought. After all, these words would only undermine the distance I had made from them with all my heart.
So I closed my eyes again, preferring to let "Blade" think that I agreed rather than leading to more serious consequences due to momentary guilt.
Yu Zhao sent a message again. Perhaps because he saw that I had no intention of checking, "Blade" came over again and reached out to pick up the jade sign beside my pillow to check it.
I immediately opened my eyes and pressed my jade sign, and explained first, "It's not a big deal, no need to respond right now."
"Blade" did not retract his hand, but just looked at me quietly, and the blood color in his eyes seemed to solidify at this moment.
Half a minute later, he withdrew his hand, nodded and said, "That's good."
I knew he was worried that I would really fall asleep, and at that moment someone would send me a difficult problem that needed to be solved.
What's more, the four of us used the same password for the jade diary, in order to prevent mistakes such as finding that the jade diary cannot be opened when we need to look for clues when something goes wrong.
Therefore, there is no such thing in the Jade Omen that is so private that it cannot be shown to others.
Therefore, this kind of obstruction also means a kind of estrangement to some extent...
I laid the screen side of the phone on the bed and forced myself to sleep without thinking too much.
Perhaps it was the disguised breathing frequency that had a hypnotic effect. When I woke up again, the sky outside was already bright.
The alarm clock set for 9:20 has not yet rung, and Blade is no longer in the room, as if what happened last night was just a dream.
Just like as night turns into day, reason finally overwhelms emotion again, making me realize deeply: I can't completely reject them after all.
So, it's good to just maintain a peaceful relationship like this...
I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep last night and wouldn't be able to fall asleep until three or four in the morning, so I set an alarm for 9:20. I didn't expect that I would wake up early even though I fell asleep quickly, more than an hour earlier than the scheduled time.
I replied to all the messages I hadn't replied to last night, then got up, washed up, and went straight to Taibusi.
The fortune tellers in the Taibusi were all busy, except Bai Lu, who also arrived early and yawned idly.
"General." Bai Lu's eyes lit up and she waved, "Finally someone has come who can talk to me!"
"Long time no see." I nodded to Bai Lu and glanced briefly at the medicines she brought.
Bai Lu's preparations were very comprehensive, from physical to mental, from tonics to medicines for injuries, even medicines to suppress the evil spirit were prepared.
"Just right, now that you're here, let me take your pulse." Bai Lu patted the chair beside her and motioned for me to sit down, while she sat opposite me. However, her tail swinging vigorously revealed her uneasy mood at the moment.
Are you worried about what will happen next? I sat in the corresponding seat, but didn't extend my hand. I just smiled and said, "I remember Lady Dragon once said that she would take me out to play. I wonder if this is still true?"
"Of course it counts!" Bai Lu responded with her hands on her hips, "I am not an adult without credibility. If I say I will take you out to play, I will definitely take you out to play!"
This answer was within my expectations, so I continued, "It just so happens that you and I both have some free time right now, so how about doing it today?"
Bai Lu hesitantly pointed her index finger at her chin, then nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to follow me."
I thought that Bai Lu’s desire to diagnose me might have been somewhat instigated by Jing Yuan, but if that was the case, Bai Lu would not have given up so easily and would have agreed to take me out to play.
There are still more than fifty minutes before the Qiongguan Formation opens at ten o'clock, which is indeed enough time for us to run a long distance to play, but Bailu only stopped at Ruomuting and looked at Jianmu from afar.
"This is the first stop." Bai Lu said a little embarrassedly, "Others always brought me here to see the scenery. At that time, I had basically never seen the outside world, so I particularly liked this place. But this place should be very ordinary to you, General?"
As she spoke, she took out the various snacks she bought on the road and placed them on the stone table. "But it's really fun to eat snacks here while enjoying the breeze!"
Bai Lu pushed all the snacks to my side and said with a stern look in her eyes, "General, try it!"
I casually tore open the package of a bag of snacks, took out a piece and put it in my mouth. The indistinguishable strange and sweet fruity flavor gradually spread.
After I chewed and swallowed, Bai Lu looked at me hopefully, "How is it, do you feel your mood has warmed up?"
Although I didn't feel anything special, the taste was indeed good. It should be considered a dried fruit that retains its fragrance.
So I nodded and smiled, “Indeed.”
However, Bai Lu tilted her head to look at me, and finally pulled open the bag of snacks just now, and opened a new bag, "What about this?"
“It’s chewy, soft and very delicious,” I commented.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lu immediately went to open a new one, "This one must work!"
What can I do? I stopped hesitantly and asked her, "Are you looking for something?"
"That's not wrong." Bai Lu finally stopped hiding the worry in her eyes, "General, I heard you crying."
Um? I subconsciously touched the corners of my eyes, but there was no wet liquid.
No… “When did you hear that?”
If it wasn't me, then Bai Lu wouldn't have heard Jing Yuan crying, right? This is serious indeed!
Thinking of this, I instantly became worried, "Is Jingyuan okay? I didn't go to Shen Ce Mansion today, so I don't know his situation. If there is any need..."
Before I could finish my words, Bai Lu slammed the table angrily, "I'm talking about you!"
The aura that Bai Lu exuded that was three times her height made me feel guilty for no reason. "Me?"
No, why should I feel guilty? I really didn’t cry!
Just as I was about to argue, I heard Bai Lu say sadly, "You are sad, your heart is crying."
......Is this a bit too idealistic? I pressed my hand to my chest and said solemnly, "I just asked it, and it said it didn't have it."
However, at this point, Bai Lu believed in her own judgment as a doctor and stubbornly judged, "It has!"
Perhaps the return of memory made my mind particularly smooth, and I felt that I was able to handle the scripts given to me with ease, so I responded, "Okay, it has, so what should I do?"
Bai Lu frowned and looked at me, as if she was going to make a diagnosis through observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation.
After more than ten seconds, she sniffed and said sadly, "General, can't you even feel it?"
