073:
Bian Linan's mind was racing, but he didn't show it on his face. He pretended to be in deep thought.
After a moment, he asked tentatively, "Do you want to give this gift to the two elders, or to Sang Luo?"
In the rearview mirror, he met a pair of cold black eyes devoid of any emotion, filled with a frightening dark oppression.
Bian Linan's heart suddenly sank, and he felt that his previous thoughts were ridiculous and funny.
The words "love at first sight" are an insult to this person.
After a few seconds, Ji Congwu's pale lips curled slightly, and he said in a leisurely tone: "Of course it's for the two elders."
"I think fruit might be more suitable," said Bian Linan.
The base has been reclaimed into farmland, vegetable greenhouses, etc. Researchers have found that grinding wood crystal cores into powder and mixing them with water for irrigation can speed up the growth cycle of rice fields, vegetables and fruits several times.
Fruits will be slower.
Therefore, the price of fresh fruits at the base is relatively expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to afford them.
His proposal seemed reasonable.
During the time from Haiti to the base, Bian Linan had never seen Ji eat anything.
Even if they had something prepared before, he never touched it.
He suspected that Ji was not a human being.
However, even monsters cannot live without food and water.
It is more likely that Ji never stored any food, but simply did not eat it in front of them.
Based on this, it can be inferred that Ji Congwu may also possess spatial abilities.
His inference needs to be proven.
Apparently, after he made this proposal, he got his answer.
An empty cardboard box appeared out of thin air beside Ji Congwu, and then apples, bananas, oranges, pineapples, peaches and other fruits that were as fresh as if they had just been picked from the trees were put in one by one, and the box was soon filled up.
Even though Bian Linan, who witnessed all this, was mentally prepared, his expression was still a little strange.
Ji Congwu placed his slender index finger on the cardboard box and tapped it faintly.
The slightly longer hair on his forehead hung down, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows.
There seems to be a faint evil spirit growing in the shadows.
Bian Linan quickly suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, without showing any expression on his face, and withdrew his gaze slightly stiffly.
On the way, he met Shen Xun who was leaving the Sang family. The latter gestured to stop.
The two cars crossed each other, their front ends touching, but Shen Xun didn't notice Ji Congwu in the back seat.
Or rather, he noticed it, but because the person was brought back by Bian Linan and Bian Linan did not introduce him, he did not ask any more questions.
"Sang Luo told me that Sang Tuo was recuperating in City C, and she came to the base to pick up her parents and take them to City C." Shen Xun relayed the news directly to Bian Linan.
Bian Linan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he drew an important message from this sentence: Sang Tuo was still alive.
He always believed that Sang Tuo was swallowed by the crack - according to the description of Luo Fan and Qin Yu after they escaped from the crack, everyone in the camp was swallowed by the crack, and in the end only Luo Fan and his friends were lucky enough to crawl back with their lives.
Everyone agreed that the person who did not reappear was dead.
Bian Linnan waited for another day, but there was no movement on the ground.
But now he was told that Sangtuo was alive and well and had gone to City C.
"Did Sang Luo tell you personally?" Bian Linan couldn't help asking.
"Yeah." Shen Xun nodded. Seeing the surprise on his face, he asked, "Did you see Sang Tuo get into trouble?"
"It seems that I made a wrong judgment due to my preconceived notions." Bian Linan said, feeling a rare sense of joy.
It's always good news that Santuo is still alive.
He had intended to end his conversation with Shen Xun and move on, but when he glanced at the rearview mirror, the person in the back seat didn't seem impatient at all.
On the contrary, he even felt that the person was listening to his conversation with Shen Xun - because they mentioned Sang Luo.
Shen Xun keenly noticed Bian Linan's abnormality, and his abnormality obviously came from the back seat.
He looked at Bian Linan inquiringly.
Since Sang Luo came to the base to pick up her parents to go to City C, it is obvious that she has the confidence to do so.
Bian Linan looked back at Shen Xun, thought for a moment, and asked, "What is Sang Luo's ability?"
"B-level wood."
Bian Linan's brows twisted unconsciously. Like her brother Sang Tuo, she was also a B-level wood element.
How did someone with such strength get from City C to the base? And how did she plan to bring the two elders of the Sang family to City C safely?
The distance between the base and City C is such that even the base's most outstanding team of psychics cannot guarantee that they can safely escort the two elderly people to City C.
Even if there is a team willing to take on the escort mission, the reward will be terribly high. Can Sang Luo afford it?
Or maybe she herself awakened a special companion talent that was enough to protect the two of them and herself as they went to City C?
At this moment, even Shen Xun felt a fleeting biting chill through the car window.
He quickly turned his gaze to the back seat, but was blocked by the car window glass. Then he saw Bian Linan's face change, and without saying anything, he started the car and left.
Shen Xun frowned, looking at the car disappearing in the rearview mirror, feeling uneasy.
If he was not mistaken, Bian Linan was very nervous about the man in the back seat.
Given the strength of the strongest person in Bian Linan Base, why would this person treat him like this?
Bian Linan didn't know what words in his conversation with Shen Xun angered Ji Congwu and caused him to suddenly change his expression.
The gloomy oppression coming from the back seat was like a violent storm rushing towards him from all directions, and he was just a light leaf among them, all he could do was endure it, unable to resist.
My heart felt as if it were being pierced deeply by countless steel needles, causing an unbearable pain.
The hands gripping the steering wheel turned white from the force, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, as if they were about to burst out of the blood vessels.
Soon, the terrible pressure receded in an instant.
Bian Linan breathed a sigh of relief, without asking any questions or even looking back through the rearview mirror.
He continued driving calmly and steadily.
If it weren't for his wet clothes and the steering wheel that was slightly deformed by being squeezed.
It looked as if nothing had happened.
How could he know that Ji Congwu's sudden anger came from Shen Xun's words "B-level Wood Element".
The villain could hardly control his resentment——
She! Actually! Awakened! Again! The Wood Element!!!
He arrived at the apartment building where the Sang family lived with a gloomy face.
Bian Linan had just driven the car into the yard when he first heard a series of piercing howls, one louder than the other:
"...Everyone saw it. It was that little bitch who just came back from the Sang family who did it. She even wanted to kill Haohao and me!"
"Son, it doesn't matter if I get beaten. Haohao is only a little older. Look at what he's been beaten like."
"My darling grandson's teeth were all knocked loose. He was only ten years old, and that little bitch beat him half to death."
Then mixed with the child's aggrieved and painful cry:
"Dad...it hurts...it hurts so much..."
A pair of people, an old man and a young boy, with faces swollen like pigs' heads appeared in Bian Linan's field of vision. They were standing two meters away from the door of Room 102.
A man in the uniform of the city defense army squatted in front of the smaller one, his face ashen and furious.
——He remembered that Room 102 was the Sang family’s residence.
Zhu Guochao's reason was overwhelmed by anger. He rushed home at lightning speed and saw the appearance of Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao, which was even more tragic than what Sun Shihai described.
Whether as a son or as a father, at this moment he wished to cut the murderer into pieces.
On the way back, he had the idea of speaking reason in his mind.
After all, he also knew the character of Mrs. Zhu, and his son Zhu Wenhao was spoiled by Mrs. Zhu and became naughty.
Although he and Feng Suhua felt that it was inappropriate, they were busy with work and the child needed to be taken care of by Old Mrs. Zhu.
Even if there really was an offense, would an elderly man and a ten-year-old child be so cruel?!
Since the other party dared to do it, he didn't have to reason with them and should just let his strength speak for itself.
Even if the matter is brought to court, he is still right.
Zhu Guochao was about to break down the door angrily - since he came back, the door of Room 102 has been closed.
People around were whispering.
There are those who like to watch the show - it's rare to see such a big show,
There were also concerns - the daughter who had just returned from the Sang family was a wood-type person, and when she faced Zhu Guochao, who was a fire-type person and worked in the city defense team, the outcome was obvious.
Then there are those who are indifferent and don't care - no matter what the outcome is, it has nothing to do with them.
Because the Zhu family made so much noise, not many people noticed the military vehicle driving into the yard.
Of course, Zhu Guochao's hand did not touch the door panel, and his movement stopped.
Bian Linan got out of the car and asked in a voice neither too loud nor too low for everyone to hear: "What's going on?"
The crowd was stunned when they saw Bian Linan.
As one of the leaders of the base, even if some people have not seen Bian Linnan in person, they have seen his photo.
"Fuck, it's Commander Bian!"
"Why is he here?!"
"Did this matter even alarm Commander Bian?"
"I heard that Commander Bian is out on a mission. When will he be back?"
…
Zhu Guochao, who had just emerged from his frozen state, saw Bian Linan and his expression changed. He didn't even bother to knock on the door, but hurried forward and saluted, "Commander-in-Chief."
Old Lady Zhu didn't know Shen Xun. She only knew that he was a superior, but she had no idea of his rank.
But Bian Linan is the most powerful person in the base, and he is of great importance to her.
She swallowed her cries and pulled Zhu Wenhao, silently exposing the swollen faces of the grandfather and grandson.
Just looking at the picture, it is indeed enough to arouse others' sympathy.
Zhu Guochao briefly explained the situation, then, under Bian Linan's sharp gaze, said in a panic, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, I just want to understand the specific situation."
Bian Linan glanced at Old Lady Zhu and the two of them, and was about to speak when the back door of the car opened. As the people in the car came out, it seemed as if a cold wind swept through the air, carrying an uneasy smell that made everyone feel uneasy, and passed over everyone coldly.
Like ice in deep winter.
Everyone present shuddered unconsciously.
The whispers died down, and countless eyes turned to the man who had grabbed everyone's attention the moment he appeared.
Despite the scorching summer heat, he was covered in a loose black robe, not revealing any skin at all, and even his hands were covered in black leather gloves.
The black color made his tall figure appear even thinner and gaunter.
His black clothes, black hair, and black eyes made his face look as pale as paper, making him look like a terminally ill patient.
Then, his equally pale lips opened slightly, and a cold voice slowly spread out.
The scorching temperature suddenly turned into a cold air.
"The useless and noisy old woman and the cunning and vicious little beast are just polluting the air by their very existence."
As the last syllable of his voice fell, his five fingers in leather gloves gently turned in the air, and Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao exploded like balls without any warning.
The blood mist covered Zhu Guochao's body and face.
He stared blankly, and when he came to his senses, his eyes were filled with blood and he rushed towards Ji Congwu like a madman.
Then, he followed the footsteps of the two people before him.
“!!!”
Someone in the crowd let out a short scream of horror.
Bian Linan's face was extremely ugly. Ji Congwu killed three people in front of him in the blink of an eye!
But he didn't even have the ability to stop it.
He had no idea how Ji Congwu made his move!
The only thing that could be done was to order the crowd back to their rooms.
Without him saying anything, everyone ran back to their rooms in fear and bewilderment.
At the same time, the door of 102 opened.
Ji Congwu looked through the dispersed blood mist and met Sang Luo's gaze.
He raised the corners of his lips to reveal a gentle smile, and said politely, "I'm visiting you and want to offer you a small gift to show my appreciation."
Sang Luo smiled, then said calmly after a moment, "Explain your purpose."
Her tone was somewhat nonchalant, as if she couldn't see the blood mist spreading in the air.
The system shuddered as it intuitively felt the host's growing murderous intent.
Obviously it was not because of the death of Zhu Guochao's family of three. Its host was not so kind.
It's mainly because of the villain's overstepping of authority...
When Ji Congwu said the purpose of "visiting the two elders"——
The system closed its eyes in despair and mourned for the villain in its heart.
Bian Linan looked at Ji Congwu and then at Sang Luo.
From the brief exchange between the two, he discovered that they seemed to have known each other before.
Stringed together.
There is an explanation for Ji Congwu's attention to Sang Luo.
"Lolo?" Father Sang couldn't contain his worry and walked over quickly.
When Zhu Guochao came back, Mr. and Mrs. Sang, who already knew that their baby daughter had dual abilities, one of which was space, were not nervous.
However, they suggested that there was no need to pursue the matter further, as Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Wenhao had already learned their lesson and all they needed to do was explain it clearly to Zhu Guochao.
——They don’t want their precious daughter to become enemies with other people with special abilities because of them.
Father Sang decided to talk to Zhu Guochao himself, but before he could do anything, something strange happened outside.
They heard someone calling Commander Bian and realized that Bian Linan had returned.
If they hadn't learned about Sang Tuo's information from Sang Luo, the two elders would have run away immediately.
They heard no more noise from outside the house.
After a while, Sang Luo opened the door and stood at the door. Sang's father was afraid that she would suffer alone and would not allow her to stay there.
The appearance of Father Sang made Ji Congwu's pupils become much darker.
The blood mist in the air disappeared, and even the ground became clean. He knew it was Sang Luo who did it.
Maybe she was afraid that her old father would be scared.
It seems that she really cares about her parents.
The villain's mouth curled up in a happy arc.
A cardboard box full of fruits flew out from the back seat. Ji Congwu reached out to catch it and handed it to Sang's father.
He seemed to be considering how to speak.
Before Mr. Sang had time to think about why there was no one else outside the house, his eyes swept over the various fruits in the cardboard box, his expression changed slightly, wondering if it was such a luxurious gift?
Then he looked at Ji Congwu's face, which was actually very deceptive, and then at his precious daughter who had been looking at Ji Congwu and smiling silently.
The radar in Father Sang's heart started clicking.
He didn't go to take the fruit, but whispered to Sang Luo: "Lolo, you said that the box of crystal cores was given by someone else, was it him?"
Even Sang Luo didn't understand what the old man meant by this. She said "Oh" and said coldly:
"He doesn't deserve it."
Ji never had a fake smile, and he could barely maintain it.
