"Did you see what just happened in the room?" Lin Gutou asked.

"I can't see clearly." The woman in white said, "It was as if the room was suddenly foggy just now."

"Mist?" Lin Gutou said, "I guess it's not mist...it's some kind of magic. They don't want people outside to see what's happening inside the house."

"I'm not that curious." The woman in white sneered. Lin Gutou guessed with great interest, "What do you think they will talk about?"

"You will die quickly if you keep doing this. Didn't your elders tell you not to ask about random things?" The woman in white said, "As for this incident, the timing of the Li family's head coming here was too wrong. This kind of thing should be done in private."

"Yes." Lin Gutou said, "Actually, no matter who comes to look for Yuan now, it's not a good thing. The Patriarch of the Li family came to look for him now, probably because he really has something that must be resolved."

"What grudge do they have?" The woman in white shook her head. "Two old monsters, they can handle a fight, can't they just sit down and talk it out?"

"That depends on what their feud is about." Lin Gutou said, "I originally thought that their feud wasn't a big deal..."

“But now it seems quite big.”

…

Everything in the room seemed foggy. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what was going on. She just took a puff and the whole room suddenly became like this.

This should actually be a very strange thing, but Yuan Yuanyuan didn't think about it at this time. She even inexplicably felt that this situation was more in line with the current atmosphere.

In the smoke that filled the room, everything seemed to be happening in a dream. It seemed real, but also... fake.

"Maybe you think what I did was wrong, but in that situation, what did I do wrong?" the man opposite said slowly.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at him.

"Compared to what I remember, your face has a bad smell." The man's voice became slower and slower.

He has a pair of beautiful hands. In Yuan Yuanyuan's memory, these hands are even more beautiful than Si Qun's.

At this time, the index fingers of both hands began to curl gently, making slight joint sounds.

"Is this what you mean... Have I changed a lot compared to before?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"You once said that my facial expressions were always fake, insincere, and my smile was fake. You also said that when I wanted to kill someone, my expression was nice but my eyes were ugly." The man said, "But now, we both smile the same way."

There was a deep smile on his face. Just now his face was full of the kindness of an old man, and when he turned back into a young man, his kindness on this young face had a very warm and sunny feeling.

Yuan Yuanyuan was leaning lazily in the chair, as if she had no bones. After hearing this, she gently picked up the cigarette beside her and took another puff.

"So you've gradually become the kind of person you once hated. How do you feel now?" The man kept smiling. "I remember telling you that your face is like a fox's. It's fine if you have a sincere expression on it, but once there is hatred and hypocrisy... you will become more mean than an ordinary person."

"Your expression right now is very mean."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Yuanyuan, and there was something in his eyes that made Yuan Yuanyuan very uncomfortable.

A smile, not a smile.

It was like a mockery of her.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a second, and it was as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Yuanyuan exhaled lightly, letting the smoke fill the air and her mouth.

She also let out the foul air in her chest.

…

I am now...

How mean is the smile?

…

Yuan Yuanyuan knew that her current facial expression was very ugly...even though she was smiling.

No normal person would smile like this. Even if she didn't look, she knew that her smile was particularly strange and beautiful.

She felt that the corners of her mouth had been stretched to an abnormal level, but she just felt that this was the right way to smile, and that this smile was in line with her current mood.

This kind of smile is like a feminine dagger, carrying a sense of hypocrisy and pretense.

She doesn't like to treat others with a pretentious attitude because she herself has had enough of pretense.

So she has always treated everything around her as truthfully as possible, even though sometimes this truth has to be put in quotation marks and sometimes this truth makes her uncomfortable.

However, now that things had come to a point where she felt she couldn't even suppress the horrible smile in her heart, she inexplicably felt a little disgusted with herself.

No matter why a person pretends to be someone else...he has a kind of original sin.

This original sin will not change because of your purpose and reason.

Strangely enough, this feeling of hatred never entangles others, but the one who hates it himself... It seems that the more one thinks about it, the more negative emotions one has in his heart.

It will never punish those who never consider it...it will only punish those who try their best to understand it. Isn't that strange?

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was thinking too much... but not too much. However, she still had that smile on her face.

It hasn't changed from beginning to end, just like a mask.

"Have you been waiting for me?" the man said. "When I came in, I saw you staring at the door, and you didn't seem to feel anything strange. I'm sorry I'm late. Actually, I didn't want to come, but it seems I have to come."

Yuan Yuanyuan gently added a little magic pearl powder to the cigarette holder, and placed the small wooden box containing the magic pearl powder next to her. "Are you here alone... Where is your wife?"

"She's at home. She's not feeling well. Do you want to see her?"

Yuan Yuanyuan's smile suddenly became even sweeter, as if she had heard news from her lover whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She spoke in a very soft voice, like she was moaning in her sleep, "How can I do that? I'm afraid my wife will be frightened by my recklessness when she sees me."

After hearing this, the man shook his head and smiled, then turned his gaze to the stairs on the second floor.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from the other side that chilled him to the bone.

"What are you looking for?"

The atmosphere in the room was silent again. The man turned around and saw that the smile on the face of the person sitting on the chair opposite him had disappeared completely at some point.

He was staring at him.

At some point, his head lowered slightly, so he could only look at people from above.

This angle inexplicably carries a sense of sinisterness.

Just like a poisonous snake in its vulva, the whites of its eyes rolled out and its two shrunken eyeballs stared at people intently.

…

The man was stunned, and slowly retracted his gaze.

The man opposite slowly raised his head, and that smiling expression suddenly appeared on his face again.

Suddenly, a strange atmosphere appeared in the room. I didn't know how to describe it, but it was even more depressing than before.

Yuan Yuanyuan was obviously angry just now, but at this moment she suddenly started smiling again.

There is no transition at all in the expression transition.

...like a mentally ill person.

She was smiling just now, and she is still smiling now. However, her smile at this moment would definitely scare everyone who has seen the whole process of her facial transformation.

The man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, his eyes gradually becoming stern. He asked, "So... is that true?"

What's the matter?

Yuan Yuanyuan should have answered like this.

But she suddenly raised her head and looked at the man opposite her, "Has this matter... reached your ears?"

The man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.

He sighed for the first time since entering the room.

"What are your plans next?"

"I don't know." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the smoke hovering in the sky and said lazily, "Why don't you guess?"

"You were not like this before." The man said, "Although you managed to survive by some means... I still can't believe that you would become this kind of person."

"What kind of person have I become?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, "Same as you? Aren't you happy about this?"

"I am a little disappointed in you." The man said, "I have seen many people change, but I never thought it was you. Even though I have always hated you, I don't think you will change, so now I can't eliminate the disappointment in my heart."

"Disappointed?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, "Do you think you can say this word to me?"

"Then why did you come back?"

"I don't want to come back. They cried and begged me to come back." Yuan Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke from her mouth, her tone was mocking, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She turned her head and looked at him with the same eyes that the man had looked at her just now, "Don't you know these things?"

"Oh, what a good brother." The man suddenly sneered.

"What did you say? Say that again?" Yuan Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the chair, slammed her cigarette holder hard on the table.

Her eyes were now bloodshot.

Why...can he say such things without any scruples?

She is angry! Even she is angry!

She, who had never even met the man in person, was already extremely angry!

And why can the person opposite me... actually say it in such a tone?

"Show me some respect." The man's fingers squeezed even louder. "Gone Dog, are you leaving City C?"

“Not leaving.”

"I'll ask you again, are you going to leave?"

"Not leaving!"

The man stood up in an instant. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't even see how he moved. She felt her head suddenly shaken and she suddenly choked out a mouthful of blood.

Her ears buzzed and the tinnitus became louder, but the smoke in the room suddenly began to swirl slowly.

"You dare to threaten me?" Yuan Yuanyuan raised her head, feeling a burning pain in the corners of her eyes.

The look in her eyes was clearly beyond the other party's expectations, so the man opposite was stunned again.

Yuan Yuanyuan herself didn't know where she got the strength from at this moment, and she directly took out her dagger.

At that moment, the mist in the room suddenly turned red.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt like she didn't know what she was doing. She looked at the face opposite her that looked so similar to Si Qun, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

Slash it!

Slash it!

She raised the knife in her hand, and her hand speed reached a level she had never imagined before.

The man noticed it in advance and hid behind.

However, the knife still cut a hole on his left cheek, from the corner of his eye to his ear.

Yuan Yuanyuan had never felt such a refreshing feeling to see blood... so refreshing that every cell in her body was trembling.

At that moment... she felt as if she had turned into a shadow... a dark yet reckless shadow.

No one can stop her!

No one can resist her!

Time seemed to stop for a second, and then it seemed like a long time had passed.

There was a flash of silver light, and the knife passed by and the man fell.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan appeared behind the man. At some point, the blood-red color in the room had reached its peak.

The man behind her had completely turned white in his hair.

"There's something... that might be a little funny if I tell you." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the blood on the blade.

She looked at the moonlight outside, which seemed to be covered with a layer of blood mist when viewed through the house. "But I still want to say..."

"Be a human being."

…

Lin Gutou and the woman in white outside almost leaned forward to take a look. They were both sneaking around, and each of them held a small kaleidoscope-like object in his hand.

"Did you see what they were...doing?" asked Lin Gutou.

"No...why don't you look at it yourself?"

"I can't see, so what's going on? Why did it suddenly turn red?" Lin Gutou said as he looked at the blood-red window.

"Has a fight started?" the woman in white suddenly asked.

"That's really...possible." Lin Gutou said, "It's not that serious. Why do we need to take action on the matter between father-in-law and son-in-law? Should we tell the city lord or the Li family?"

"Tell the city lord about this," the woman in white said. "As for the Li family... let them know too. If anyone dies here, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"That makes sense." Lin Gutou nodded, "You've thought it through."

Actually...under that dark sky...there is another dark sky.

It’s just that the darkness was very natural, so natural that no one could see it.

This "dark sky" has been squatting here in the dark for an hour, sneaking around and not daring to show its head.

Liu An looked at the red in the room and listened to the conversation between the people above his head.

He secretly wondered... What's wrong with the boss? And what is the Li family?
