Chapter 114 Children, don’t peek at adults putting on their pants!
The incandescent light in the interrogation room was emitting a cold and hard light. Shen Qing stood in the shadows, his eyes fixed on Xiao Qihao who was curled up in the corner.
The man seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His normally straight back was now bent into a fragile arc.
His pale face looked sickly pale under the light.
He held the blanket tightly in his hand, and the corners were wrinkled.
He pulled it up little by little, from his shoulders to his knees, and finally buried half of his face in the blanket, leaving only a few strands of sweaty black hair sticking to his forehead.
It seems that this can isolate all the coldness and malice around.
Shen Qingze's fingertips curled up unconsciously.
The only sound in the air was Xiao Qihao's almost inaudible breathing, like an old bellows being slowly pulled.
This almost stagnant silence was easily broken by the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor.
The door creaked as it was pushed open, and Ye Xiang and Renly appeared at the door.
Ye Xiang lowered her head, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes.
There was a meaningful smile on Renly's lips, and his eyes moved between Shen Qingze and Xiao Qihao like a snake.
There was undisguised amusement and desire for control in those eyes.
"It looks like we've arrived at the right time."
Renly's voice carried a peculiar rhythm. He walked straight to Shen Qingze and suddenly lifted his chin with his bony fingers, forcing Shen Qingze to look up and look at him.
"I have good news for you. The God's Messenger Platform has been successfully completed."
He paused deliberately, admiring the rage that instantly ignited in Shen Qingze's eyes, and then slowly added,
"It won't be long before a new god comes. Do you think this is something worth celebrating?"
"Renly! You're crazy!"
Shen Qingze's voice trembled slightly because of anger, and his jaw was pinched so hard that it hurt.
"What do you think this will change?"
Renly chuckled, as if he had heard some funny joke.
He loosened his hand, straightened his ironed cuffs, and completely ignored Shen Qingze's angry scolding.
"Whether you are crazy or not, we will know when the gods come."
He turned to look at Ye Xiang, who had kept his head down, and gave an unquestionable command in his tone.
"Let's go, Xiaoye."
Ye Xiang seemed to be awakened, her body trembled violently, and she followed Renly to the door.
Shen Qingze was still growling something behind him, his voice filled with powerless anger.
Just as the door was about to close, Ye Xiang suddenly stopped.
The pair of watery eyes looked clearly at Xiao Qihao in the corner. There were too many complicated emotions in that look.
Like a thin needle, it suddenly pierced into the cold interrogation room.
The door clicked shut, isolating all sounds.
The blanket covering Xiao Qihao's head moved slightly.
It was as if the gaze just now penetrated the thick cloth and fell on his exposed earlobe.
The muffled sound of the metal door being locked still echoed in the interrogation room. When Shen Qing turned around, he found that Xiao Qihao had already sat up straight.
The blanket was draped over her chest, leaving a few red marks on her exposed neck.
He raised his hand and rubbed his stiff shoulders, his knuckles turning white from the effort, and his voice was hoarse from exhaustion.
"It seems that we can no longer sit and wait for death..."
Shen Qingze's eyes swept across his sweaty collar.
"We must find a way to stop them..."
He paused, his eyes falling on the other person's tense profile.
"What are your plans?"
Xiao Qihao lowered his head to look at the ground, and a bitter laugh came out of his throat, like the friction of rusty iron sheets.
He raised his eyes and looked at the porcelain pieces not far away, with a wry smile on his face.
"originally……"
His voice dropped, and his fingertips left messy marks on his knees.
"I plan to end it with this."
The cold light on the edge of the porcelain piece flashed in the shadow.
"But when I got there, I realized I wasn't even qualified to die."
He suddenly raised his head, with complex emotions surging in his eyes, including self-mockery, unwillingness, and more of a faint light.
"I still have someone to wait for, and there are things...that I can't let go of."
"I still have a lot of delicious food to eat and a lot of places I want to go..."
Shen Qingze looked at his trembling eyelashes and suddenly curled the corners of his lips.
The smile was faint, but like a stone thrown into an icy lake, it instantly spread warmth.
He didn't say anything, but just raised his foot and gently kicked the shadow in the corner.
"Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin figure emerged from behind the pile of debris.
There was still dust on the kid's face, but his eyes were surprisingly bright as he looked at Xiao Qihao with surprise.
"Little guy?!"
Xiao Qihao sat up suddenly, and the rustling sound of the iron chain pierced the silence.
He looked at the familiar face in disbelief. Although the little ghost always snatched food from him before, he still protected himself when he was in danger.
After not seeing each other for so long, he still missed this little guy who always played tricks on him.
Shen Qing smiled gently.
"Don't get excited, he's been following me."
When he looked at the little ghost, his eyes softened a little.
"I was caught on purpose. Renly's attention was all on me, so he couldn't notice him hiding in the shadows."
The little ghost seemed to understand something, and suddenly took out something wrapped in a bag from his arms, walked up to Xiao Qihao and handed it to him.
Inside was a set of clean and tidy clothes.
Xiao Qihao's fingers were suspended in the air, and his eyes suddenly felt hot.
He finally understood where the calmness in Shen Qingze's eyes came from. In those seemingly desperate moments, it turned out that there were already hidden threads quietly extending.
"so……"
He looked at Shen Qingze, his voice trembling with the sound of surviving a disaster.
"Teacher Shen, have you planned this a long time ago?"
Shen Qing didn't answer, but just gestured for him to put on his clothes first.
The little ghost lifted the shadows beside it and surrounded Xiao Qihao, like an independent dressing room.
Xiao Qihao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he change in this state?
"Do you want to see how I'm tied up like a dumpling? How can I wear this?"
The little ghost looked at the chain that bound Xiao Qihao's hand and dived into the shadows.
The buckle on the top opened with a sound, and Xiao Qihao looked at him in shock.
I didn't expect this kid could actually pick a lock! ?
He twisted his sore arm, picked up his clothes and put them on.
When he was about to put on his pants, he suddenly remembered something and looked at the kid with hesitation.
"that......"
The little ghost looked at him in confusion.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qihao decided to go all out.
"Can you find me another pair of underwear? I'm not wearing any..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of metal falling to the ground outside the shadows, and the little ghost realized that the big fool seemed to have bare legs.
So the kid rummaged in his pocket again and actually found a brand new pair of underwear and stuffed it into Xiao Qihao's hand.
Xiao Qihao took it with an embarrassed look on his face. Just as he was about to put on his pants, he found that the little ghost was still staring at him.
His face instantly turned red.
"Turn around! Children, don't peek at adults putting on their pants!"
