107. The long sorrow
"Hailouzhu, a rare treasure that I didn't have time to take away at that time, was that it allowed me to cultivate here for more than ten years and not be discovered by you humans."
Chen Yao looked at the beads in her hand and spoke.
Ji Xu glanced at it and said, "But your traces have always been under our control."
Chen Yao looked at him with some dissatisfaction and put away the beads. "Although Qizhen has some ability, she cannot go against the will of heaven. The Yan family in the capital is famous for finding the hidden secrets, so it is not normal to see some clues."
Ji Xu didn't say much, he wouldn't believe that if the bead had only this effect, the other party would still compete with him.
It's nothing more than that, I'm afraid I'll get this bead.
"Where is that monster?" Ji Xu asked.
"Here." Chen Yao raised her hand and pointed to the side.
Ji Xu looked over and was stunned, and then he was a little complicated. It turned out to be it.
A much thinner fog demon seemed to hide in a willow tree as if he was afraid, trying his best to collect the fog on his body.
It was the one Ji Xu had seen before. So it became a little complicated after he saw it clearly.
"It's the reason for the bead you just now."
After looking at it for a while, Ji Xu said lightly.
Chen Yao said indifferently: "A little demon who is not a good person suddenly got the treasure left by the demon saint and was enslaved by the power all at once. What's so strange about it?"
“Slavery?”
"Yes, if you can't control your strength, you're controlled by the power. Isn't it just enslavement?"
Chen Yao looked at him and said with a smile: "Why, Consultant Ji wants to show mercy on the law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the willow tree hiding in the distance seemed to be torn by a sudden huge force, or it seemed to be slapped by a big hand falling from the sky. With a "boom", a lot of water splashed.
The fog demon was originally an indestructible little demon. Although it was shattered in sudden fear, it was still quickly solidified. Then, like a frightened deer, it floated quickly to the distance.
Ji Xu looked at its back with deep eyes, making people unable to see what he was thinking.
After a while, when the fog demon had already flew far away, he seemed to have just woken up. When his feet moved, an invisible force field appeared, and his whole body rose into the air and followed him.
Chen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, looked around, turned her eyes and showed a hint of confusion, and then she lightened her body and flew away.
...
In a small building in the scenic area, the fog demon flew to the rooftop of this building, and seemed a little tired. After all, it had just died once, and the reorganization of its body required a lot of energy.
Behind him, Ji Xu had already stepped on the edge of the tower. The fog demon turned around and looked at him. A large person had a grievance expression on his face, and there was still some doubts and ignorance inside, but it was just staying quietly, and its body was a little erratic in the rain.
Because it can't speak, there is no sound.
Ji Xu lowered his eyelids. When Chen Yao behind him also fell to the side, he raised his fingers and a stream of fire flew through the air, a ray of light fell on the fog demon.
There was no scream or any evasion. When the fire lit up, it went out.
Chen Yao looked at Ji Xu, who was expressionless beside her, but the latter had turned around.
"Let's go." Same words, same state of mind.
"Why?" There seemed to be something suppressing in the voice behind it.
“As you said, it is lost in its heart by the power.”
"So, you killed it?"
"right."
"What about me?" Chen Yao pursed her lips and asked, "One day, do you have to kill me too?"
Ji Xu's body, who was about to leave, paused, and the endless rain was swaying around him, a little sad and inexplicably deserted.
...
Chen Yao didn't wait for his answer.
Ji Xu moved under his feet, as if he had kicked something. The pebbly-like thing hit the edge of the tower and made a crisp sound.
He came back to his senses and took a look.
The bronzed rust spots were washed clean by rain.
His eyes were slightly condensed, and he walked over and bent down to pick it up.
The shell of the little finger is shining with a metallic luster because of rain. There are some carvings on it, and there is some sand and dust inside at this time, mixed with rain and flowing downwards.
Ji Xu looked at the shell seriously, his eyes a little sad.
This reminded him of the memories of that day.
He stood up and felt like the tide spreading the rooftop, carefully soaking every inch of land. Then, he finally found another shell in a corner of the wall.
Exactly the same, the same carvings and the same size, the difference is just the amount of rust spots on it.
Ji Xu looked around carefully and stopped at the edge of a rooftop. There were slight dents on the cement wrapped in bricks and stones. It should have peeled wall skin, but after being washed by wind and rain, it showed its innermost appearance.
He touched it carefully with his fingers, his eyes closed slightly, and his mind imagined that on the day two and a half months ago, the gunman was lying here and sniping the two girls from a distance.
He looked up and could see clearly where he had fought with Yan Yuhan. He looked down and saw it.
"Oh."
He looked at the two shells in his hand, and squeezed them slightly with his fingers, and then dropped them aside. Before they could fall, a flame ignited and nothing was left.
Chen Yao kept watching silently, she said nothing, her expression was a little too calm.
Ji Xu just looked at Jingminghu, whose rain in the distance disrupted the waves, with no sadness or joy on his face, and a silence.
And behind him, there was also someone watching him.
After a while, Ji Xu turned around and looked at Chen Yao, looking into her eyes as if she could see the depths of her soul.
It was the first time, without the guilt towards Ye Lin.
"If you want to know if it will be, then I will tell you." He had a gentle smile on his lips, but his eyes were serious and sincere. "No, there is really one day that I will not kill you."
Chen Yao, who was originally silently like a statue, moved his eyes and raised his eyes, as if he had taken a lot of effort.
There was unpredictable surprise and indescribable relief in his eyes, and even a little joyful.
However, she still asked, "Why? Didn't you say 'just'?"
The voice was a little hoarse, which was a witness of some suffering in the long wait, and the heart that should have been silent suddenly surged with sweet spring water, as if it was no longer discouraged.
It was a voice that changed a little, but it was filled with emotions, relaxation, comfort, relief, etc.
"Ah," Ji Xu nodded first, then looked at the falling raindrops, and said, "Because I don't think you did something wrong."
"Eh?" Chen Yao's eyes widened, obviously she didn't expect him to say that.
Because of his own decision, it seemed that many ordinary people died in the shopping mall in Fengcheng last time? Moreover, many martyrs were involved in this, but now he said that he did nothing wrong?
Before she could ask, Ji Xu waved his hand casually, "Okay, why are you one hundred thousand? Let's go."
With his feet slightly moved, his whole body flew towards the iron boron on the scene like weightlessness. However, in Shen Yao's eyes, his back seemed to be even more depressed than when he came.
It was as if I was suddenly disappointed with something.
She glanced around and confirmed that she didn't find anything. She immediately calmed down and hurriedly followed.
