Chapter 093 Chapter 93
Little Li Zhou didn't understand.
But he was very respectful and cooperative.
He went out for more than ten minutes and came back quickly.
When he came back, he was holding a white thing in his hand, which at first glance looked a bit like a towel.
The white towel dangled in his hand, struggling with its limbs and making a squeaking sound.
Xia Meng took a closer look and was immediately stunned.
Ah this.
Isn't this her second dog?!
Big black eyes, a big snow-white tail, isn't this exactly the same as her dog Ergou!
Oh, that's not right.
The next second, Xia Meng realized that what Xiao Li Zhou was holding in his hand was not her spiritual body, but a living ferret.
She didn't know what to say.
I didn't expect that I could catch an identical little stoat by just catching a small animal.
Could this be fate?
She: "Why did you catch a stoat?"
Xiao Li Zhou: "There are few wild animals in populated areas. If you want a fast-running nocturnal animal, then I have no choice but to..."
Xia Meng thought about it and realized that it was true.
There are many options for nocturnal animals, but if you want to run fast, there are fewer options around.
She looked at the stoat again and thought what a coincidence.
The little ferret was furious and squeaked while twisting its body hard, trying to grab and kick him with its four paws.
Maybe it’s because I had developed feelings for Ergou before.
Xia Meng couldn't bear to see the little guy being "bullied" like this, so she quickly reached out and motioned him to hand the little guy over to her.
Xiao Li Zhou pinched the skin on the back of its neck and didn't let go.
He was not too sure: "It will bite."
Stoats are very aggressive wild animals.
Although they look cute, they are not suitable as pets.
Xia Meng naturally knew this. She thought about it and then gestured for him to put it on the ground.
Xiao Li Zhou did as he was told.
He released his grip and placed the ferret on the ground.
As soon as the little ferret's four paws touched the ground, it immediately began to run around the room, trying to find the door to escape.
Fortunately, the door was already closed.
The little ferret had no way to escape, and it wandered around the hunting house like a headless fly for dozens of times. Finally, it gave up running away, found a corner to hide in, and then blinked its big eyes vigilantly to observe them.
Little Li Zhou turned around and asked Xia Meng, "What do you want me to do with it?"
What are you doing?
Of course, I'm here to help them.
It is not difficult to go back, but the difficult part is how to go back under the noses of those pursuers and ensure your safety.
…
It's late at night.
Thousands of households fell silent.
Hermann and his men hid in the dark.
They all stayed and hid secretly in several places around the target's home.
Lance, who was leaning against Herman, asked in a low voice, "Herman, will they really come back? After being delayed for half a day, maybe they have already fled the country."
Hermann closed his eyes.
After a while, just when they thought he wouldn't answer, Herman suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, "Here it comes."
For a moment, everyone was excited.
In the corner, several black figures suddenly emerged silently in the darkness.
A-level sentinels cannot sense the mental power of S-level.
So the tracking is entirely up to Herman.
Hermann took the lead.
Others quickly followed.
Before leaving, Hermann did not forget to keep a trick. Just in case, he asked Emil to stay and guard the place.
Emil leaned against the corner with his arms crossed, spreading out his mental power.
Raise your focus to the extreme.
Ten minutes later.
Suddenly, a very difficult to detect mental fluctuation passed through the air.
Emil looked up with a look of realization.
I was just about to turn around to confirm what was going on.
Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared before my eyes.
In the white light, he was caught off guard by a pair of eyes as dark as the night.
It's Xia Meng's eyes.
A little white light flashed on Xia Meng's fingertips. She stared intently at Emil's eyes and murmured softly, "Forget it... You didn't see anything... Nothing happened here... Everything is normal..."
The light in Emil's eyes dimmed little by little.
Then, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual, he crossed his arms again and leaned back into the corner.
Xia Meng retracted her fingers and lowered her eyes to look at her fingertips.
If she had to say the biggest benefit of entering the spiritual realm, it would be that she could use her spiritual power more freely.
If this hypnosis were to happen in reality, how could it be so easy?
But it is different in the spiritual picture.
Here, she seemed to be able to use her powers as she pleased.
She got up and went out.
Walking towards Xiao Lizhou’s home - the ruins.
The explosion affected countless people at that time.
Perhaps they were afraid of making it too obvious, as not only their family but also more than a dozen nearby families were not spared.
An entire block was reduced to scorched earth.
The explosion happened only a few hours ago.
The explosion site was still a mess and had not been cleaned up.
There are also many people who have suffered misfortunes and are displaced lingering nearby.
As night falls, you can occasionally hear a few sad sobs.
When Xia Meng walked over, she saw Xiao Li Zhou standing quietly in front of the gate of his ruined home.
His house was the epicenter of the explosion, and the entire building was shattered beyond repair.
The original two-story villa was now broken into a small black hill.
Xia Meng stood beside him and turned her head to glance at him cautiously.
I saw that he didn't cry or panic.
There was no rush to rush into the ruins to dig people out.
He looked frighteningly calm.
Xia Meng paused, wanting to say something.
He had clearly made up his mind to come back, so why did he do nothing now that he was back?
At this moment, Xiao Li Zhou suddenly turned around and looked back at her: "What do you want to ask?"
Xia Meng hesitated.
Little Li Zhou calmly asked back, "Do you think I'll rush over crying?"
Xia Meng: "Isn't it?"
Little Li Zhou shook his head: "I just tried, but I couldn't sense my parents."
Xia Meng paused, and suddenly blinked in surprise: "You don't mean to say that your parents didn't..." Could they still be safe and sound?
But she stopped mid-sentence.
Because even though Xiao Li Zhou's face looked calm, there was still grief that could not be concealed.
Moreover, based on her understanding of Hermann's gang, it was basically impossible for them to fail.
Only Li Zhou, an S-level player, is a variable that they cannot control.
Xiao Li Zhou lowered his eyes and said, "They should have already..."
Xia Meng asked softly: "Why?"
Little Li Zhou raised his hand and pointed at the ruins: "This place smells of blood. It's all their blood."
The smell of blood was so strong, I guess a lot of blood must have been shed.
So much that all the blood in my body was almost drained out.
He didn't dare hope that they were still alive.
Xia Meng was silent.
Although I had expected such an outcome, it was still shocking when I saw it with my own eyes.
So what should we do now?
Urge him to leave quickly?
Xiao Li Zhou was stunned for a moment, and finally realized what was going on. He turned around and asked, "Have those people you mentioned been dealt with?"
Xia Meng nodded: "They left one person behind, and I've already taken care of him. As for the others, they probably won't be back for a while."
Xiao Li Zhou was a little confused: "How do you know they won't come back?"
Xia Meng shrugged, because Ergou is number two!
She left the spiritual energy of herself and Xiao Li Zhou on the little ferret.
It was released not far from the town.
The fluctuation of mental power can quickly attract their attention and successfully lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Xiao Li Zhou was confused: "Trying the tiger to leave the mountain?"
Xia Meng turned her head and muttered, "Haven't you heard of luring the tiger away from the mountain?"
Xiao Li Zhou shook his head.
Xia Meng: "Isn't your Chinese identity fake?"
Xiao Li Zhou: "."
Xia Mengdong spoke ramblingly, his eyes sweeping over the ruins.
With the help of a little light in the distance, she could roughly see that there were signs of rummaging on the ruins, probably because a rescue team had been there.
If a person is really dug out, whether dead or alive, he or she should be sent to the town hospital.
Xia Meng turned her head and looked at Xiao Li Zhou, whose eyes were red and he was trying hard not to cry. She couldn't help but raised her hand to rub the top of his head and said tentatively: "Maybe... you can see them one last time."
…
And then it happened as expected.
Xiao Li Zhou's parents are in the morgue of the town hospital.
Xia Meng found an opportunity to read the morgue duty manual.
After the explosion this afternoon, more than a dozen people were killed and more than forty were seriously injured at the scene.
Xiao Li Zhou's mother died in the explosion.
His father was protected by his mother. Although he was still breathing when he was taken into the ambulance at the scene, he died before being sent to the hospital.
The entire morgue was full.
Only his parents were left alone.
Xia Meng noticed that they had identification tags on them.
Xiao Li Zhou's mother's surname is Li, and she is an A-level sentinel.
His father is an A-level guide.
Xia Meng suddenly realized.
That’s right.
Being able to give birth to an S-level student like Li Zhou at least shows that his parents have excellent genes.
She turned to look at Xiao Li Zhou.
He lowered his head and leaned against his mother in silence.
Only his mother's face was exposed in the black body bag.
The blood had drained from his face, leaving it pale and bluish.
It can be seen that little Li Zhou looks very similar to her.
Xia Meng couldn't bear to watch this, so she walked forward, put her arm around his thin shoulders, and whispered, "You..."
Xiao Li Zhou didn't move at all, as if he didn't hear what she said at all.
She sighed softly, and after a while she spoke again, "I'll accompany you to bury your parents."
Little Li Zhou blinked slightly.
Xia Meng said softly, "Chinese people believe in resting in peace. Only when the deceased is buried in the earth can they find peace of mind, and only then can the family feel at peace."
…
It was already late at night when the two of them finally buried his parents.
The matter itself is not troublesome.
The main thing was that they had to steal the body from the morgue, so they had to avoid people and also avoid Hermann and the others, to prevent them from making a surprise attack.
So I went around in circles.
The final burial place was chosen on a hillside on the side of the town.
The location is high and the view is great.
You can just see the whole town, as well as the lakeside and the swing on the cliff where Xiao Li Zhou often goes.
Xia Meng didn't know much about Feng Shui, but fortunately, Xiao Lizhou's family was half foreigners, so she just assumed that they didn't care about this.
Besides, the position was chosen by Xiao Lizhou himself. I think if he likes it, his parents should like it too.
It's almost dawn.
It's time for them to go.
Xia Meng was about to speak when she suddenly saw Xiao Li Zhou suddenly turn his head.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes not far away.
Xia Meng: “?” Who is it?
Her heart instantly rose to her throat.
Until a few seconds later, a snow-white figure suddenly emerged from under the bushes.
…
Several dark shadows quickly passed through the forest.
Hermann and his companions ran more than ten miles in one breath.
In the end, he didn't catch up with the person at all, and didn't even touch his shadow.
Not to mention the S-level sentry, there was not even any trace of Xia Meng.
The others were chasing after him breathlessly.
"T-This is running too fast!"
"I have no strength left."
"Hermann, are you sure you're not chasing the wrong person?"
Hermann stopped and frowned.
To be honest, he didn't know either.
At first, he was sure that he had captured their mental fluctuations.
He captured Xia Meng's and another S-level one.
But as he chased, he felt that the fluctuations were sometimes near, sometimes far away, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and unpredictable.
It was like the man was playing with them.
Lost him.
He actually lost her right under his nose.
This means that the gap between him and the sentry is likely to be more than just a little bit.
They are all S-level...is this possible?
Hermann paused solemnly.
It's so weird.
The other party was so weird from beginning to end.
If his strength was really that much higher than his, he shouldn't have been able to discover his whereabouts from the beginning.
Could it be... intentional?
Thinking of this, Hermann immediately activated the internal communication to contact Emile who stayed behind.
Emile answered quickly.
Herman got straight to the point: "Is there anything unusual over there?"
Emil said in a normal tone: "No."
Hermann hung up the call solemnly.
…
Xia Meng bent down and picked up the little ferret.
The plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain is actually very simple.
She concentrated a portion of her own and Xiao Li Zhou's mental power and placed it on the little weasel.
Let it appear near the town with the spiritual power of the two people.
Sure enough, Hermann and the others were quickly lured away.
Stoats are nocturnal animals and are particularly agile.
But in front of an S-level sentinel, it is difficult to guarantee survival.
So Xia Meng did some tricks.
She asked Xiao Li Zhou to catch several small animals, and then put some of her mental power into them.
The condensed mental power will not last long.
Xia Meng controlled them and created a time difference.
After the little ferret led Hermann and the others away from the town, in order to prevent the little ferret from being caught by them, the mental power did not stay on it for long.
Once the mental power here is dispersed, the distance is just right to sense the mental power of another small animal.
So, it is sometimes close, sometimes far away, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
Just like fishing, Shui Lingling fished them farther and farther away.
At this time, the little stoat came out from the bushes and ran to them in small steps.
Xia Meng bent down and rubbed its little head.
"Thanks, little guy. You've done a great job today."
The little ferret tilted its head and blinked.
Xia Meng withdrew her hand and turned to look at Xiao Li Zhou: "Do you have any plans for the future?"
Little Li Zhou was still a little dazed.
After listening to her question, he slowly shook his head.
Xia Meng sighed in understanding.
Yes, he is still so young after all.
Everything that happened today was too much for him.
If other children encountered such a thing, they probably wouldn’t even have time to cry, so how could they have time to think about anything else?
Judging from how little Li Zhou behaved today, she felt that he was much calmer and more mature than his peers.
But no matter what, he is different from her. He is indeed just a ten-year-old child.
His destined bumpy future... Let's not force him to think about it for now.
Xia Meng sighed, raised her hand to support her chin, and said softly: "How about I give you a suggestion?"
Little Li Zhou slowly raised his eyes.
Xia Meng said, "Go back, go back to China. You should have other relatives in China, right? But I don't mean to ask you to go find them. From what you saw today, you should be able to guess that their target is you. They want to capture you. If you go back to your relatives, it may not be a good thing for them."
Little Li Zhou seemed to be lost in thought, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not.
Xia Meng continued, "Let's go to the Black Tower. I know someone in the Black Tower's Beijing branch, his name is Zhou Qi. You can go find him. He's... fairly reliable and should be able to help you. Also, remember, don't go anywhere else except the Beijing Tower, especially the Black Tower headquarters in the UK. The people who came to arrest you today have close ties with the headquarters."
"And..." She paused, then warned earnestly, "If you're thinking of revenge, don't be hasty. Before you become stronger and your wings become more full-fledged, remember to protect yourself first. There's an old Chinese saying: 'Hide your strength and bide your time—'"
She kept talking.
However, at this moment, Xiao Li Zhou suddenly grabbed her hand and asked softly, "What about you? Will you go with me?"
Xia Meng paused.
With him?
No.
If the young man in front of her was really her Li Zhou, the Li Zhou who knew her, remembered that she loved her, then she would definitely be willing to stay.
pity.
She knew he wasn't.
She knew that she was the only one in this world.
She sighed secretly in her heart.
It's time to leave.
She shook her head.
There was disappointment in Xiao Li Zhou's eyes.
Xia Meng raised her eyes, smiled gently at the young man, and said half-truthfully:
"Don't be sad. We'll meet again sooner or later."
