Chapter 317 Cold Heart
The human body is so soft.
Xinnaya smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of her nose. She pressed Chen Xiao'er's shoulders, and even her palms felt numb with pleasure.
What's going on?
She had tried to touch other humans with energy in the past, but that touch didn't bring any special sensations. After all, according to humans, the part derived from an abyssal creature was considered a stomach, which only measured the amount of energy it consumed.
She had touched Chen Xiao'er's body before, but at that time, she didn't think human flesh had any advantages over abnormal flesh. The only difference was that while she was willing to touch Chen Xiao'er, she absolutely didn't want to touch other humans or abnormalities with her humanized hands.
But now it’s different, completely different.
call......
When she smelled that faint fragrance, all the muscles in her body relaxed instantly, even a little...
call--
The sound of breaking wind brushed past her ears. She could have easily avoided the attack from any direction, but the momentary trance made her a little slow, and she only slightly tilted her head.
Bang!
A crisp slap exploded in my ear.
Xinaya opened her eyes wide, somewhat bewilderedly recalling the touch of her cheek.
Could this be the way humans express love?
It doesn't matter.
She smiled and raised her arms: I'm good at this too.
But the next second, the sharp blade pressed against his chest, drawing a line of blood.
Chen Xiao'er held the dagger tightly with both hands. Although her shoulders were shaking with anger, her wrists did not move at all. She gripped the hilt tightly, leaving white and purple marks.
She raised her face, and the hair on her forehead rose and fell violently with her breathing.
"Xinaya, don't force me to, huh, kill you."
Isn't killing me a fusion?
Sinaya lowered her head to examine the blade against her chest. It was a beautiful sacrificial offering, likely originally a powerful artifact capable of damaging many abyssal creatures.
As for now——
She sensed the faint murderous aura lingering around Chen Xiao'er. If I make another wrong move, Chen Xiao'er will really retract her promise and kill me right here.
Xinnaya calmed down instantly. She just wanted to merge with Chen Xiao'er, but didn't want to disappear completely.
If I had lost at the beginning, it would have been fine; among the abnormal, the strong prey on the weak. But now I've been chosen by Chen Xiao'er, and victory is just one step away.
The devil was not afraid of pain, but her strong desire to ascend made her extremely afraid of inexplicably losing "the great opportunity to become Chen Xiao'er's servant of God."
In Chen Xiao'er's eyes, Xinnaya was only surprised for a second when the blade approached her chest, and then she immediately put on a pitiful expression and shrank back like a puppy.
Xinnaya raised her hands and shook them naturally: "Don't be impulsive. If you don't want to, forget it. I'm not that impatient."
Eh? Chen Xiao'er looked bewildered: Why do I feel like I'm crazy and you're normal?
She still remembered that Xinaya was chasing her like a mad dog and was thrown down the stairs by Sister Lan.
Sister Lan.
Thinking of Sister Lan, the fire and brilliance in Chen Xiao'er's eyes disappeared. She still held the knife, but her arms were as stiff as a puppet.
They remained frozen in silence until—
"Beep beep beep!" Chen Xiao'er's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Her right hand was still holding the knife, but her left hand loosened from the handle and picked up the phone beside the pillow.
The name displayed on the screen was neither Xiao Nuan nor Professor Mi Luo, but Lin Lang.
When Chen Xiao'er saw Lin Lang's name, she immediately picked up the phone, feeling a pang of guilt in her heart.
Zheng Lu also disappeared with Xiaotong. I thought I could rescue them both, but...
"Hello?" Chen Xiao'er tried hard to hold back her tears while speaking.
This is really difficult. Although Zheng Lu’s mom and dad are bad guys who sold their daughter, maybe she still has one or two good sisters and close relatives in the village?
If Zheng Lu is really gone, how sad her loving family will be.
Thinking of this, she had to try her best to hold back her tears and not cry out loud on the phone.
"Xiao'er, are you okay? Is there anyone else around?" Lin Lang's voice was full of worry.
"No, uh, there is a Xinnaya." Chen Xiao'er glanced at Xinnaya's golden hair and realized that she was also a human being.
Lin Lang was silent for a moment. Perhaps he'd initially worried she might commit suicide alone, but now that he knew it was Xinnaya next to him...he couldn't be bothered.
Chen Xiao'e completely understood Lin Lang's silence. If she had known that Lin Lang was alone with someone like Xinnaya, she would have been hesitant to speak over the phone, too.
The two of them sat in silence. Lin Lang waited for half a minute and said, "How about we meet up first? There's an orange commercial building in the city center. How about we meet there?"
Hmm... Chen Xiao'er said hesitantly, "No, you'd better go back to school first, otherwise the teachers might have objections."
"Don't worry, they won't have any objections. You asked Xinaya to send you here. Or - did she do something to you?"
"No!"
Chen Xiao'er quickly retorted, nervously gripping the knife handle with her right hand.
"That's good, just bring her along. Don't think too much about it, I will definitely help you."
"...Okay." Chen Xiao'e hesitated for a few seconds, then finally nodded. She desperately wanted someone to be by her side, to offer advice and help when she was lost.
Although Xiaotong might be in danger, she still subconsciously wanted to continue contacting Lin Lang and the mercenaries behind him.
By the way, mercenaries must be paid when they go on missions.
The currency given by the school can only be used on campus, and Lan and the family inheritance may still be frozen.
Although I still have some money left by my mother in my bank account, it is probably not enough to hire a team of professionals for a long time.
Chen Xiao'er shifted her gaze towards Xinnaya, who had an innocent look on her face and even waved her claws to show her presence, and slightly retracted the blade against her chest by one centimeter.
"Xinaya, you should know that you owe me, right?"
Xinnaya nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes."
Are they finally going to merge into one, or is it time to start a new game?
Chen Xiao'er smiled weakly, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Okay, help me."
.....
Lin Lang hung up the phone, nodded to the people around him, and gestured to disperse.
Inside the building were not only the children she brought with her, but also some mercenaries and members of the Human Soul Front who came to help, and even Yu and an abnormal person in a red dress.
When Lin Lang reached the corner of the mall, Fox sneaked out and whispered, "Sister Wolf, can we really do this? Is this acting without authorization?"
"Absolutely~" Lin Lang made an OK gesture to her and showed her the photos on his mobile phone.
In the photo, you can see a ball of deep purple light driving a sports car, with Chen Xiao'er lying in the back seat.
This photo was sent by the church and there is no text attached.
But considering that Lin Lang's current identity is a member of the Human Soul Front, this attitude is intriguing.
What they clearly wanted to express was: there is a devil surrounding Chen Xiao'er.
The human soul front has only one attitude towards the abyss creatures: kill, kill, kill!
But the current situation is rather embarrassing.
As the fox spoke, his eyes twitched slightly, glancing left and right. He was clearly suggesting: Look, we're all colluding with anomalies to deal with another anomaly. Isn't that a bit too much?
Lin Lang patted her shoulder: "It's okay, this is just a temporary solution. Besides..."
Her face darkened, and she said seriously, "We must not let that devil become Xiao'e's servant."
Chen Xiao'er is about to be promoted to a god.
To be honest, the Church of Light, the Human Soul Front, and even she herself don't know what kind of feelings Xiao'er has towards this devil.
Hate it? Neither hate nor like it? Or perhaps it's because of the current situation that I've developed a certain dependence on it.
When Chen Xiao'er becomes a god, will this devil rise to the top by means of deception or because of cognitive filters and other reasons?
No one dares to gamble.
In the worst-case scenario, if Chen Xiao'e chose to sink to the bottom of the abyss and merge with the newborn snake, leaving this follower god on the surface, then the future of mankind would be in shambles.
The fox nodded vigorously: "I know that too. But if we kill her first, will Sister Xiao'e hate us?"
She didn't dare anger a human who was about to become a god.
"Don't worry." Lin Lang put a little more pressure on her shoulder and promised, "I will confirm Xiao'er's feelings after meeting her."
"Okay." Fox's eyes swung left and right. She always felt that this team leader would forcibly kill the devil no matter whether it would incur Sister Xiao'e's resentment or not!
What about the abnormality next to it?
She turned her gaze towards Yu and the little girl in the red dress and found that their expressions also agreed with her. Their murderous eyes were obviously much more determined than those of the humans around them.
Wooah~ The fox covered his face, but finally took out the weapons from his bag and organized them.
All members involved in this incident slowly dispersed.
Humans are looking for hidden corners in this building that looks like a supermarket and hiding their bodies first.
Exceptions are much more convenient.
Before Chen Xiao'er arrives, they can transform into plants or hide in a corner like humans. Some of the more powerful ones can even transform into shop assistants and start work in a second.
After everyone hid, Lin Lang began to edit the text message to send to his father.
"Dad, we're trying to eliminate Sinaya, the demon hunter the church has named. You guys should stay on the highway outside first, in case she kills..."
She deleted a word.
[If she gets seriously injured and runs outside, remember to help me get rid of her!]
......
The dark golden door slowly opened.
The first person to step forward was a stylishly dressed blonde with a leather collar around her neck, a broken piece of chain dangling against her collarbone.
The blonde girl was walking towards the corridor. When she was completely out, a pale-faced girl in a light-colored dress slowly floated out with a bag in her left hand and a knife in her right hand.
The tip of Chen Xiao'er's knife was always against Xinnaya's waist. The two of them took the elevator downstairs in this awkward posture, walked out of the elevator door, and entered the brightly lit hall.
Chen Xiao'er's emotions were numb, but when she saw the receptionist's polite smile, she still felt a little embarrassed as common sense returned to her.
It seems a bit exaggerated for me to walk out holding Xinnaya like this. Will someone call the police?
She wanted to put the knife down, but she couldn't, fearing that Xinaya would grab the receptionist and throw it at her face. This guy was really capable of such a thing.
The receptionist bowed slightly, neither questioning the situation nor reaching out to press any buttons under the table.
She nodded to Chen Xiao'e as if she were seeing a distinguished guest who was all right. "How can I help you?"
Chen Xiao'er choked for a moment and said slowly, "No, I'm here to check out."
The receptionist's smile remained unchanged as she spoke softly and clearly, "This room is yours. Feel free to come back anytime. If you don't like it, I can change it for you right away."
What's going on?
If it were any other time, Chen Xiao'er would have been eager to get to the bottom of it. But as Lan and Xinnaya's faces flashed through her mind, she didn't want to ask anymore.
Whoever paid for it, I don't want to know.
Her hand holding the knife trembled for a moment, then she raised it again.
Chen Xiao'er forced a smile at the receptionist.
"Thanks."
When she turned to Xinaya, the smile turned cold: Xinaya actually dared to turn around and look back.
She poked Xinnaya's heart with the tip of the knife and said coldly, "Don't turn around. Go drive!"
