Demon in the world

After Ah Jiu picked out some fruits and spices in the supermarket, he gave all the change to the old man begging on the roadside when he came out.

Fu Dou didn't know what he noticed, and he was very vigilant all the way, looking around all the time.Ah Jiu kept lowering her head to distinguish the ingredients of the spices, not paying attention to any differences around her.

Two or three meters in front of him, a circle of water-like transparent lines appeared in the air. Fudou suddenly yelled, grabbed the hem of his trousers and began to pull back quickly.

Ah Jiu looked up, but didn't find anything unusual, so she stopped and asked Fudou, "What's wrong with you?"

Fudou shook his head, preventing him from going any further.

Ah Jiu hesitated, "Are you saying we can't move forward?"

Fu Dou screamed twice nervously, a gust of cold wind rushed towards them, as if something invisible was approaching them quickly, Ah Jiu smelled the danger, and immediately turned around and ran away with Fu Dou.

The opponent followed too closely, it felt as if a sharp dagger was pressed against his back.

Cold sweat broke out on Ah Jiu's forehead, but he didn't dare to stop at all, and he didn't have time to look back.Fu Dou led the way, pulling the rope tightly, hoping to give Ah Jiu some strength.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, it deliberately chose places with obstructions, jumped flower beds, jumped railings, and kept crossing the road... Ah Jiu was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, "Bai Dou... don't worry about me, go back quickly Find my brother!"

Fu Dou looked back at him, screaming anxiously

Ah Jiu threw away the rope and climbed over the railing by herself, "I know how to delay time alone, you run away!"

Fu Dou stopped walking, stretched his body into a sharp bow and shot it out, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Without Fudou's help, Ah Jiu began to rush around without knowing the direction, but the sense of threat followed him like a shadow, forcing him to speed up his pace desperately.

When he was about to cross the road, his foot suddenly stepped on the air, and Ah Jiu fell out with a plop.

He kept yelling in his heart, bad, bad, it's over now...

However, just as he was about to touch the ground, someone suddenly pulled him back by his shoulders, and the oppressive feeling brought by Li Feng behind him stopped abruptly.

Ah Jiu panted and stood upright, but when she was about to thank her, her mouth opened wider and wider, "Third brother?"

The person who came was Xi Feng, who came from Jiangcheng to celebrate Ah Jiu's birthday, but unexpectedly ran into him on the way.

Xi Feng asked: "What are you doing in such a panic?"

I don't know if it was because he saw someone else, or because the dangerous aura behind him had receded, Ah Jiu's whole body relaxed, and he patted his chest and said, "Something was chasing me just now!"

Xi Feng glanced behind him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It's not disappearing, but hiding, Ah Jiu, have you ever finished the game of knocking the mole?"

Ah Jiu didn't know why, "Brother Xin and I often play together, and we can pass twelve levels at a time."

"Okay, let's go back and play with this. Pay attention, the game is about to start." Xi Feng stretched out his hands, and the sunlight cast a peach-shaped shadow on the ground. The shadow grew bigger and bigger, and finally settled at two or three meters away.As if something was imprisoned, the peach shape began to twist and deform, and a black shadow slowly emerged from the ground.

Ah Jiu was surprised: "What is that?"

Xi Feng motioned him to step on it with his feet, Ah Jiu jumped up, and the shadow quickly burrowed into the ground, and reappeared a meter away after a while.

"Third Brother, what the hell is this?"

"I'll tell you if I step on it ten times."

Although it is a bit weird, it looks quite interesting, and Ah Jiu had no choice but to catch up and step on it in order to satisfy his curiosity.

The shadow seemed to have to expose the ground to breathe, but he was afraid of being stepped on by Ah Jiu, so he sped up from left to right, and it was already very difficult to step on it after a few times.Xi Feng walked behind unhurriedly, as if controlling the direction of the shadow with his fingers.

When he was about to arrive at Taoyuan, he encountered Fudou who turned back, followed by Ouyang Fei who was in a hurry, and he was relieved when he saw Ah Jiu who was bouncing around, and asked Xi Feng in puzzlement: "Third brother, what are you doing?"

Xi Feng said, "Play a game."

Ah Jiu felt very tired, wiped his sweat and said, "I can't step on him, third brother, just tell me what it is!"

Xi Feng smiled and raised her fingers, and the shadow hidden in the ground flew out like pulling a carrot.

It turned out to be a dark brown human-shaped clay puppet, with a blurry face and facial features that could not be seen clearly, kneeling on the ground humbly and desperately begging for mercy.

Ouyang Fei walked over, raised its chin with his foot to look at it, and said, "It turned out to be a soil treasure."

Ah Jiu asked: "What is Tuzang?"

"One of the five-element monsters is good at escaping from the earth. It will pull the prey it picks underground and devour it. Although it looks inconspicuous from the outside, there are almost no opponents underground." Ouyang Fei asked after finishing his explanation. Dozo, "Do you have anything else to explain?"

Tuzang said tremblingly: "The little demon just came for the Fool's Inn, and he didn't know that he was the younger brother of the two Highnesses..."

Ouyang Fei drew out his saber and said, "Now that you know it, how should you make it up?"

Ah Jiu saw that his appearance was pitiful, and since she had already stepped on him a few times, she was exhausted, so she grabbed Ouyang Fei and said, "Brother, let him go."

Ouyang Fei didn't want to give up, but remembered that today is Ah Jiu's birthday, "It's your fate, if there is a next time, I will cut you from the beginning to the end."

Afraid that he would have another murderous intent, Ah Jiu grabbed his arm and left.

Tu Zang still knelt on the ground, turned to Xi Feng with a gentle face, and said hesitantly, "Please help the little demon explain the spell restraint, Your Highness."

Xi Feng glanced at him lightly, "I never said I would let you go."

"Third Highness..." Before he finished speaking, the shadow on his shoulders suddenly tightened, making it unable to utter a single word.

After a while, Dozang's body collapsed like loose sand, and was quickly blown away by the wind.

Ah Jiu walked a few steps and realized something was wrong, turned around and called Xi Feng, "Third brother, hurry up too!"

Xi Fenghui smiled and followed, "Okay."

Wen Renchu, Xi Feng, Zhan Xiaoqian, Ouyang Fei, Fu Xin... Ah Jiu looked around the people on the sofa, and said in surprise, "What day is it today? Why are all five brothers here?"

Ouyang Fei said: "Your birthday, don't you know it yourself?"

Ah Jiu opened his eyes wide and said after a long time, "I don't know."

"If I knew it earlier, I should have saved the surprise until night." Fu Xin sat cross-legged in front of the TV with popcorn in his hands, almost leaning his face close to the screen.

"Get out!" Ouyang Fei walked over and kicked him down, grabbed the remote control and turned it off, "You don't sleep in broad daylight, but you want so many people to watch cartoons with you?"

Fu Xin boldly opened it again, "I haven't slept for two days, just to wait for the premiere of the TV..."

"You dare to rebel?"

"I only watch the last 5 minutes."

"Shut off!"

"don't want……"

Zhan Xiaoqian, who was attached to Ah Jiu's back, watched them fight together, and snorted coldly, "Childish."

Ah Jiu and Xi Feng were happily chatting about life in Jiangcheng, but the conversation was suppressed by Fu Xin's screams.

"Wait a minute," Xi Feng walked up to Ouyang Fei and Fu Xin and punched him twice. The living room suddenly became quiet, and then he came back with a smile and asked Ah Jiu, "Where did we talk just now?"

I thought the third brother had a good temper, but now he looks more terrifying than the cold-faced brother!

Ah Jiu couldn't help shivering, "The origin of Jiangcheng's traditional food..."

In the afternoon, Wen Renchu ​​finished work early and returned to Taoyuan, and saw this scene:

Fu Xin knelt on the ground and yawned while wiping the floor. Ouyang Fei was lying on the edge of the table peeling potatoes with a saber. Zhan Xiaoqian was earnestly setting diamonds on the cake box. Xi Feng was helping to wash the vegetables in the kitchen. The apron stares at the wok...

Everyone is working in an orderly division of labor, the sound of beef frying comes from the kitchen, and the sweet smell of milk floats in the air, which makes the whole Taoyuan filled with the happiness of an ordinary human family... He couldn't help letting go. I slowed down and wanted to enjoy this few warm moments.

Ouyang Fei didn't see Wen Renchu ​​come back, he took the potatoes and yelled at Fu Xin, "Don't you know another place to clean the dead otaku? That wooden floor is going to be fucking faded by you!"

Zhan Xiaoqian glanced at Ouyang Fei with the diamond, and reminded him friendly: "Seventh Brother, your blood is almost staining this potato red."

Ah Jiu pushed Xi Feng out of the kitchen, "Third brother, you can just sit down, don't use it to help... I can handle it by myself."

Xi Feng dragged the cake from Zhan Xiaoqian's hand and put it on the refrigerator, "It's enough to put two meanings on it, so much can easily cause intensive phobia."

boom!Snapped!

Ouyang Fei threw down the potatoes and rushed over, "You coward, how dare you throw me a rag? You want to die!"

Fu Xin screamed: "Third Brother...Fifth Brother...Second Brother, hurry up and save me!"

Zhan Xiaoqian bit his finger and said, "What do you care about me when you fight?"

Xi Feng shook his head, "You have committed your own crimes, you can't live."

Sure enough, it took less than 2 minutes to develop into this state. He should have known that happiness and warmth were all his own illusions!Wen Renchu ​​lifted Ouyang Fei away with a sullen face, and said gloomyly, "Do you think you are three-year-old children?"

The killer who bared his teeth and claws stopped immediately, and the abused swallowed his saliva and did not dare to move.

Just when he thought the end was coming, the voice of the savior sounded from the kitchen, "Brother Seven, the potatoes are ready to be brought over!"

Wen Renchu ​​clenched his fingers, then slowly released them, "I'll settle the matter with you tomorrow."

Anyway, the catastrophe was finally escaped, Ouyang Fei rushed into the kitchen with potatoes, "Ninth brother, you are really my lucky star."

"Eh?" Ah Jiu was confused, "Is brother back?"

"uh-huh."

Ah Jiu rolled his eyes, "We can serve dinner in another 10 minutes."

In the evening, the dishes are very rich. The meat dishes include jasmine squid rolls, lychee anchovy shrimp, crab noodle soup, rice and rice braised tenderloin... Vegetarian dishes include fried spinach and pea shoots, and there are two kinds of soups: crucian carp, red beans, and tomato beef.

Zhan Xiaoqian saw that everyone was satisfied with the food, so he took out the things in his pocket and asked Ah Jiu, "Brother, can you make these things like vegetables?"

Ah Jiu was slightly embarrassed, "I can't."

Seeing Zhan Xiaoqian's disappointed expression, Ah Jiu picked up a shrimp ball and suggested, "Would you like to try it, I think this one is pretty good."

Zhan Xiaoqian immediately shook his head, "No."

At dusk, Fu Xin's spirit gradually improved, and he lowered his voice and said to Ah Jiu: "Leave him alone, Fifth Brother was born a freak, he would rather starve to death than eat anything other than gold and jade."

After Zhan Xiaoqian heard it, he just rolled his eyelids and didn't say anything, his round face was fair and he looked like a quiet and well-behaved child.

Ah Jiu nodded and stopped persuading, and said to Xi Feng: "What does third brother like to eat, I will make it for you tomorrow."

Xi Feng smiled and glanced at the people sitting, "I like to eat whatever you do. It would be great if other people are as sensible as you."

With Wen Renchu's cold snort, the atmosphere at the dinner table became tense.

After eating, under the reminder of Ouyang Fei, they began to divide the cake, such as singing happy birthday songs, making wishes, etc... In the eyes of these people, it was impossible, and Fu Xin could only silently fantasize about wiping the cake. Seeing Ah Jiu's face, he dared not take actual actions.

But Ah Jiu felt unprecedentedly satisfied. When he was about to finish eating the cake, he suddenly remembered something, "When I went to the supermarket in the morning, I met a boy who asked me how to get to Taoyuan. Did Brother Qi see him coming?"

Ouyang Fei said lazily, "Who?"

Ah Jiu thought about it, and described: "He looks good, his hair and eyes are silver, and he speaks very slowly."

Xi Feng said with a smile: "Don't think about it, it must be the Lu Chi's fourth brother."

"Is it... fourth brother?" Ah Jiu was incredulous, she looked younger than herself.

Zhan Xiaoqian silently took out his mobile phone, "Fourth brother, where are you? I don't know? Look at the surrounding buildings... what? There are no buildings..."

Hang up the phone after a while, "He got lost again."

Ah Jiu hesitated and said, "Why do you have to take a taxi instead of taking a taxi?"

Fu Xin whispered: "This is a quirk, just like why the fifth brother doesn't eat, and the fourth brother never takes a car."

With a road idiot and never taking a car, it should be difficult to get to the destination, right?It's really incomprehensible!

Before going to bed, Ah Jiu said plainly to Wen Ren: "Brother, this is the happiest day I've ever had."

happy?Wen Renchu ​​thought of the faded floor in the living room, the sofa cushion torn apart by Ouyang Fei, and the goldfish bowl scratched by Zhan Xiaoqian with diamonds...

Forget it, children always like to be lively, he patted Ah Jiu's head, "Just be happy."

Ah Jiu fell asleep with a smile on her face. She wanted to have a sweet dream, but she didn't expect to have a horrifying nightmare.

In the dream, the faucet was ticking, and a thin man was lying in the bathtub, his cut wrist was shocking like a mouth.

When Ah Jiu shifted his gaze to his face, he yelled in shock, it was Lu Xiaoman!

Xiaoman stared at him blankly, and said dumbly: "Ah Jiu, you don't keep your word. Didn't you say that you would grant me one wish after getting the Fool's Inn? Why did you forget me in a blink of an eye? Do you know how much I am now? Sad, even the only idea of ​​living was ruined by you..."

Ah Jiu shivered and woke up with cold sweat all over his forehead.

Almost at the same time, Wen Renchu ​​also opened his eyes, looked at his frightened expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Jiu grabbed his arm, "I dreamed that Brother Xiaoman committed suicide... It's terrible! Brother, can you help me find him, I promised to cook him a bright delicacy."

Wen Renchu ​​frowned slightly, "You think too much."

"No, no," Ah Jiu sat up, "Brother, you call Brother Xiaoman now and ask someone to look for him, I feel that he is very dangerous now!"

Wen Renchu ​​turned on the light, picked up the phone under his pleading eyes, and dialed a series of numbers.

The waiting tone is a very scary female voice singing, low and depressing, with a kind of indescribable despair.It rang for a long time but no one answered. Just when Wen Renchu ​​was about to hang up, a weak and excited voice rang out, "Ah Chu...is that you? Am I really not dreaming?"

It is already two o'clock in the morning, but Wen Renchu ​​heard the sound of running water ticking from the phone, and frowned slightly, "It's me, what are you doing now?"

Xiao Man panicked, "No, it's nothing, I'm fine..."

Ah Jiu snatched the phone from Wen Renchu, "Brother Xiaoman, I'm Ah Jiu."

Hearing his voice, Xiao Man finally said sadly after a long time: "It turns out that you are looking for me."

Ah Jiu said anxiously: "I will definitely do what I promised you, so you must never do stupid things!"

Xiaoman looked at his wrist with white wounds and blood all over the floor, and smiled wryly, "It seems...it's too late."

"Tell me where? My brother and I will find you now!"

"Ah Chu will come too?"

"He will go together!"

Xiaoman's gray eyes suddenly revealed the desire to survive, and he struggled to report an address.

After Ah Jiu hung up the phone, her fingers trembled and she called the police for help.

"Brother, come with me to see brother Xiaoman, okay?"

Wen Renchu ​​looked at him calmly, "Do you know what request he will make?"

Ah Jiu shook his head at a loss, he was so flustered now that he didn't care what he asked for, as long as Xiao Man was alive and well.

After being silent for a while, Wen Renchu ​​sighed slightly, "You won't understand even if I tell you, let's go."

When they arrived at the hospital, Xiaoman had already passed the critical period, looking at Wenrenchu ​​with dazed eyes, but couldn't speak a word for a long time.

Wen Renchu ​​said to Ah Jiu: "You go outside and wait, I will talk to him alone for a while."

Ah Jiu was worried that he would irritate Xiao Man, "Brother..."

Wen Ren Chu Wen said: "It's nothing, I will pay attention."

After he left, Wen Renchu's face gradually turned cold, "Do you really want to die?"

Saying that there is no emotion is lying to a fool. What was his expression just now?Xiaoman clutched the bed sheet in a daze, and said in frustration, "You don't want to see me, you don't answer my phone... I don't know what's the point of being alive."

"Are you living for me?"

"……Yes."

"But I don't need it."

Xiaoman's tears slipped out involuntarily, "Then why do you still come?"

Wenren Chu said: "I just want to tell you that even if you go to the Fool's Inn and get the bright food, I will not be with you."

These words were like a dagger, bloody dissecting Xiaoman's heart and lungs, leaving no room for negotiation.He has always been this kind of person, so cruel and cold that he is hardly human.Even though she knew it was the expected answer, Xiaoman still felt that she couldn't face this kind of misery.

After a long silence, Xiaoman said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think I... am redundant now? Living will only bring trouble to others?"

Wen Renchu ​​watched him with a calm tone, "No one is superfluous in this world."

"If it wasn't for Ah Jiu today, would you come to me?"

"will not."

Xiao Man bit her lip, "I'll ask one last question, if time could be restarted, would you save me eight years ago?"

Wen Renchu ​​didn't leave any hope for him, and said resolutely, "No."

Xiao Man closed her eyes, "I see... Thank you, can you call Ah Jiu in for me?"

Wen Renchu ​​walked out quietly, and after a while Ah Jiu walked in, saw the tears in the corner of his eyes, and said nervously: "Brother Xiaoman."

Xiao Man held his hand with difficulty, "Take me to the Fool's Inn."

In front of the Fool's Inn, Ah Jiu asked Xiao Man hesitantly, "Have you really thought about it?"

Xiaoman smiled sadly: "He said my existence was the only mistake...then I'll erase it for him."

"Brother Xiaoman..."

"I'm really jealous of you, I wish I could... kill you and take your place."

Although what he said was vicious, Ah Jiu didn't feel scared, "Then you won't be Brother Xiao Man."

Xiao Man said: "You're right, I can let him stay by my side forever, but it's not well known...Since I'm not me, and he's not him, there's still something wrong with being forced together. What's the meaning?"

Up to now, it is not only him who regrets, but also himself.If he hadn't saved himself eight years ago, Lu Xiaoman would still be the glamorous Lu Xiaoman, living a real and unrestrained life even though his life was corrupt.

At that time, I would not have insomnia every night, would not have depression, would not have endless tears and perverted personality, and would not have self-harm time and time again...

Ah Jiu pushed open the door of the inn with complicated emotions, and Kamono seemed to be waiting at the counter, smiling at the two of them, "Welcome to the Fool's Inn."

Three coins of time fragments, two grams of angelica powder, plus a tear of regret, bitterness, bitterness and sweetness are intertwined on the tip of the tongue. Such a simple recipe gives people a chance to correct the past.After eating the last spoonful of bright food, Xiaoman felt that his body and consciousness gradually became blurred.

After he woke up, he found himself being pushed down to the ground, with a broken glass on the tip of his nose, and loud music filled his ears.

A cold voice said: "Please step aside, you are blocking the way."

The glass wiped the tip of his nose and swiped out, the man hurriedly stood up with Lu Xiaoman in his hand to make way for him.

The young man nodded slightly, his eyes met Xiao Man's inadvertently, and he was slightly startled.

This time, Lu Xiaoman didn't say the three words "save me", but paused each word: "I don't need your help."

The other party frowned slightly, then regained composure, and walked past him indifferently.

After that, Xiaoman's mind went blank, and he turned to look at the boy after a few seconds.I always feel like I've seen that boy somewhere... Although he is handsome, he has a bad temper.

The man holding the glass taunted him, "Don't be an idiot, the prince is not someone like you who can climb high."

Xiaoman opened his hand, touched a tray and threw it at the opponent's face forcefully, "Who is crazy? Fuck it!"

Through the glass window, Wen Renchu ​​saw Ah Jiu staring blankly at Xiao Man who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. He opened the door and walked in to remind him, "It's time to go home."

Ah Jiu put her head on his chest, "Brother Xiaoman is so pitiful."

"Love cannot be forced, let alone alms."

"Then Brother Xiaoman will live better after he corrects his memory?"

"I don't know." Wen Renchu ​​took his hand, "Let's go."

Ah Jiu turned her head silently, "I hope Brother Xiaoman will be happy in the future."

It was already eight o'clock in the morning when we returned to Taoyuan, and there was a guest in the living room who had been waiting for them for a long time.

Seeing Du Shiwei, Ah Jiu couldn't believe it, "Master? Why are you here?"

Du Shiwei pointed to a few big boxes in the corner, "I sorted out some cookbooks when packing, you might need them in the future. If I don't send them over for my afternoon flight, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."

Ah Jiu was almost intimidated by the number of books, "Is Master leaving this afternoon?"

"Well, where did you go early in the morning?"

Ah Jiu didn't know how to explain it. Du Shiwei waved his hands impatiently and said, "Forget it. You probably didn't sleep well because you're sleepy. You should go to rest."

Ah Jiu yawned, "What about Master?"

Du Shiwei said: "I'll chat with your brother for a while."

"Oh." Ah Jiu went upstairs reluctantly, and was leaving tomorrow afternoon, but why didn't Master choose to stay with him for a while?

Wen Renchu ​​was in good spirits, and there was no trace of boiled recognition at all. He made a cup of tea for Du Shiwei and sat down.

Du Shiwei cut to the chase and said, "I'm here not only to deliver books, but also to tell you something very important."

Wenren Chu rarely saw her seriousness, so he said solemnly: "Teacher, please tell me."

Du Shiwei unfolded a newspaper for him to read, "Liu Junwen, the 'Porridge King' of Yudu, is missing, and no one knows where he went."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Yes," Du Shi frowned slightly and said, "This is already the fourth missing person in the culinary world this year. After the apprenticeship banquet, Ah Jiu's reputation in the industry is not small. I'm worried that it will be his turn next." .”

Only then did Wen Renchu ​​pick up the newspaper, and after reading the brief news, he concluded: "It turns out that all the missing ones are famous chefs."

Du Shiwei looked complicated, as if he was making a difficult decision, and said after a long time: "I know who made it."

Wen Renchu ​​looked at her unexpectedly, "You know?"

Du Shi slightly lowered her head and picked up the cup, "15 years ago, we formed an organization with some well-known overseas culinary masters and named it the Five Flavors Alliance. Later, the alliance became more and more famous in the industry and began to gradually break away from our control. Instead, it started to develop in a very dire way."

"for example?"

"From meddling in the catering industry, it gradually expanded to the entire service industry, and even interfered with the source of ingredients, the economy and even... politics."

"politics?"

"Yes, gastronomy politics, give politicians chefs as gifts, and even give birth to a deformed group of people who specialize in collecting chefs as a hobby, we call them black chefs."

Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, Wen Renchu ​​put the newspaper on the table, "You mean, the missing chefs were all kidnapped by an organization called the Five Flavors Alliance?"

"It's not necessarily kidnapping." Du Shiwei took a sip of tea to calm down his agitated emotions. "More often than not, they use beauty and money to seduce chefs, and only use coercive means when they achieve their goals."

Wen Renchu ​​asked: "As a teacher, is there no way to interfere with the current Five Flavors Alliance?"

Du Shi shook his head slightly, stretched out his right hand and said, "If I can interfere, I won't announce my withdrawal. This hand...is broken by myself. The purpose is to completely withdraw from the alliance and draw a line with them."

Du Shiwei was not born in an ordinary family, but one of the three major families in Yudu.The Du family of Daomen, the Wenren family of politicians, and the Chen family of the underworld all have sworn friendship, and they are very close to each other on weekdays.

Wen Renchu ​​didn't show much expression, "Teacher has noticed that the Wuwei Alliance is wrong since last year, but he still accepts Ah Jiu as an apprentice, and uses compressed courses to force him to leave as soon as possible. Can you tell me what purpose you have? ?”

Unexpectedly, he could question himself from this point, Du Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Because the way to withdraw from the alliance is to teach an apprentice as soon as possible, Ah Jiu has shown extraordinary talent, so I..."

Wen Renchu ​​lowered his eyelashes, "Let him be your scapegoat?"

"No, it's not like you think," Du Shiwei excused with a little gaffe: "I had already decided to quit, and I just wanted to find the most suitable successor for myself. In the first two months, I also hesitated ,But……"

Wen Renchu ​​continued calmly, "After you found out about his relationship with me, you suddenly changed your mind."

"Yes," Du Shiwei lowered her head, "I think you can protect Ah Jiu, and even have the ability to destroy the Five Flavors Alliance."

Wenren said clearly: "Although I like cooking, I am a coward who can only run away. As a master, I plan to let my apprentice change the difficult situation. Father Liang, do you think you are really worthy of this title?"

Thinking of that foolish younger brother who was happy and disappointed because of a word from the master, he felt that it was not worth it.

What kind of expression would he show if he knew that he was plotted against by such a master?Is it sad or... maybe it is still stupid to say that you want to take on the impossible task, and work hard for it?Silly child.

After a long silence, Du Shiwei's tears slid into the cup, rippling like her current mood, "I'm sorry."

Besides, she didn't know what else to say.

Wen Renchu ​​pushed the tissue over, "Why does the teacher think that I can deal with the Wuwei League and not others? You know, apart from my father's identity, I am just an ordinary lawyer."

Du Shi said softly: "Intuition, I remember that when I was abroad, I accidentally saw you igniting a love letter with your bare hands. This ability...not everyone has it."

Wen Renchu ​​picked up the newspaper and shook it lightly, turning it into ashes and dropping it into the ashtray, and said calmly, "Is that so? No wonder the teacher has targeted me especially since then."

Du Shiwei was shocked, and said after a long time: "Yes... I have always wanted to know your identity, and Ah Jiu swore that you were his brother, so I am even more sure that you are not an ordinary person."

"I am indeed not an ordinary human being." Wen Renchu ​​did not shy away from telling the truth, "If you don't feel scared, just believe that I am a monster with a human appearance."

"Monster...Ah Jiu too?"

"Didn't the teacher already confirm that he is my younger brother?"

"No wonder his sense of taste is different from that of ordinary people." Du Shiwei received the message with some difficulty digesting, "This way I can feel more at ease."

Wen Renchu's next words gave her a head-on blow, "Even as monsters, we don't want to have too much trouble with humans. As for the chef's disappearance, as long as it doesn't involve Ah Jiu, I will never meddling."

"No, you will definitely take care of it."

"why?"

Du Shiwei stiffened his head against Wenren Chu's cold gaze and said: "Because Ah Jiu is a talented chef, coupled with his appearance, the Five Flavors Alliance will not let him go. The more important point is... the other party and you Same, not ordinary humans."

Wen Renchu ​​was slightly surprised, "What?"

Du Shi stroked his arms slightly and said, "The one they sent to me before was a monster named Gargoyle, whose skin was as hard as a stone, ugly and had bat-like wings..."

"Gargoyle?" Wen Renchu's focus was still strange, "Was your contact location at the time domestic or foreign?"

"It's in Yudu...you should know by now, why did I try to get you involved? It can kill people by moving its wings...In that case, ordinary humans have no power to fight back."

"Just gargoyles? Or are there other monsters?"

"I've only seen this one, but the fall of the Wuwei Alliance is too bizarre, so I guess there must be other monsters."

Before there was the Fool's Inn, there was the Five Flavors Alliance, and it was really a wave of unrest.In this way, the comfortable life in the future may come to an end.Wen Renchu ​​frowned slightly, "Where does the teacher plan to go next?"

Seeing that he seemed to acquiesce in his actions, Du Shi slightly relaxed and said, "I plan to live in the diamond capital of Weiss."

"is it safe?"

"Perhaps." People who can no longer touch kitchen utensils should not be of much use to the Five Flavors Alliance, right?But she couldn't be sure what those non-human creatures would do.

Wen Renchu ​​took out a small pendant from his pocket and gave it to her, "This is the scale left by my father. It has the effect of warding off evil spirits. With it, ordinary little monsters can't get close. It's my farewell gift for the teacher."

Du Shi slightly stroked the pendant, choked up and said, "You...don't blame me?"

Wenren said clearly: "The matter has reached this point, and it is useless to blame anyone."

"Wen Renchu, thank you, please protect Ah Jiu, please!"

"He is my younger brother, of course I will protect him."

What is a gargoyle? It is said that a monster only exists in the western world. I never thought that it would dare to cross the ocean and come here to make trouble... It should pray to God that it is not playing with Ah Jiu, otherwise let it
