in the wind

Things have been over for several days, and I am looking forward to the winter vacation.

Lang Bai lay down on the table bored, staring at the hands he shook with a smile.

"Take care of the Emblem of Time, and you can retire when you find that consul." The laughter filled his ears, and Lang Bai shook his head distractedly.Unexpectedly, all the messy things in the past few months were done by this guy, and he didn't shy away from it at all.

What sent evidence to the police, what sent him to the hospital, what blinded his eyes, a bunch of mess.

The most annoyed thing is--

That inexplicable leave was invited by this guy!

dog stuff.

Phew, something.

In the director's office, Lin's father and Lin's mother were courteous with the director.

"It's okay, director, let's go."

The director smiled and sent them out, and they left with Lin Xiaoyu who was guarding outside.The director watched their leaving backs and returned to the office.

"It's gone. Oh."

In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoyu was waiting in the rest area.

After a while, her parents came over with three tickets and signaled for her to follow quickly, ready to go.

Lin Xiaoyu responded a few times, not thinking about it.She was typing something on the phone, and the dialog box was blank.She typed a line, felt it was inappropriate, and deleted it.Repeated several times, her parents are already anxious:

"Xiaoyu, what are you doing? You won't be able to catch up with the car in a while, and when will you be unable to play on your mobile phone?"

She just responded verbally, without any action.

Lin's mother was anxious, snatched her mobile phone, and dragged her to the car.Lin Xiaoyu hurriedly went to grab the phone, but Lin's mother was determined not to give it to her.The two fought for a while, but Lin Xiaoyu became ruthless and pinched Mother Lin's arm.

Lin's mother was in pain, and the phone fell to the ground, breaking the screen.At the same time, the instinctive anger rose, and Lin Xiaoyu was pushed back.Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyu failed to gain a firm foothold and fell down on his buttocks.

There was a burst of pain in his buttocks, Lin Xiaoyu supported the ground, trying to stand up.She touched a piece of paper on her right, and she looked at it with her eyes.A Tarot with the back on top.

"Didn't they all disappear?"

She was a little dazed, and Mother Lin urged her to get up again and go to catch the car.

Lin Xiaoyu came back to his senses and slowly got up from the ground.

Mother Lin's sharp eyes stared directly at Tarot on the ground next to her.Pointing at it, he educated Lin Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, is that piece of paper yours? How many times have I told you to check your pockets, but you still don't listen. Well, pick it up quickly. It's time to go." Fluent and impeccable, Lin Xiaoyu hesitated, but forced by his mother's majesty, he squatted down obediently and picked it up.

She inadvertently turned the Tarot face upside down, and her pupils constricted instantly.

"This is--"

Before she could react, there was a huge roar, and a piece of the ceiling of the station fell, instantly pressing on her body, and she didn't even have time to call for help.Blood overflowed from under the plasterboard, and Lin Xiaoyu only showed one hand, which was still clutching the Tarot card.

And in that old shop, the old man was talking to a crystal ball with a pious expression on his face.

"It won't be long before we know the whereabouts of that lord in the east." His voice was as dry as a mummy that had lived for many years, and his hoarseness was terrible, "After the mission is completed, they can also be destroyed. This mission , 13 completed very well..."

Suddenly, the crystal ball in front of the old man exploded, shattering the ground into powder.The old man was surprised at first, then turned to look angry, but the next second he became flattered.

Zhu Jiuyin stood in front of him with no expression on his face, and his deep voice did not fluctuate: "Go back."

The old man trembled all over his body. The stove in this room was burning vigorously, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

"Do you want me to say it again?" The old man trembled, slurring his words, "No, no, no, I'm leaving now, don't bother you." He was about to run out of the store in a panic, "Who said you are going to go out?" , I’ll tell you to go back.” Zhu Jiuyin spoke again, the old man paused and swallowed: “Here, I——” He turned his back to Zhu Jiuyin, daring not to move, just about to turn around Knelt down to Zhu Jiuyin, only to hear a snap of fingers, and a sentence: "Go back to your hell."

The old man disappeared from sight in an instant, and Zhu Jiuyin raised his hand, and the fragments of the crystal ball that exploded just now miraculously condensed together and recovered as before.

"Did you smash the store?"

Xiao Xiao asked him with a smile while carrying a long knife.

"up to you."

Laughing abnormally, he didn't do it immediately, but wandered around in the store.Delicate objects large and small are displayed on the shelves, but who can guarantee that these things are free from dangerous behaviors.

He wandered around and said, "It's not bad. This old thing hides a lot of things." He went to the depths of the shop again, and Zhu Jiuyin ignored him, thinking about the crystal ball in his hand.

Judging from just now, this should be a communication device.

He tried to make contact with it, but there was no response.Holding the mentality that human beings will not die until the Yellow River, he tentatively injected a weak divine power into the crystal ball to prevent the crystal ball from being unable to bear it and blowing up.

really.

Zhu Jiuyin's frown was relaxed, and the crystal ball that had absorbed the divine power suddenly appeared on the screen.

It should be the master that the old thing serves.

Something is wrong.

Zhu Jiuyin noticed the clue, a pile of chained thrones appeared on the screen.The imprisoned young man sat quietly on the throne, surrounded by a sense of extravagance.The boy wears a golden crown, inlaid with countless pearls and gems, as well as bright onyx.The royal robes he was wearing were broad and majestic, but his face was lifeless.

The more Zhu Jiuyin looked at it, the more something was wrong, the boy seemed to have seen it somewhere.As if feeling Zhu Jiuyin's probing gaze, the boy in the picture suddenly moved.Slowly raising his head, the broken hair on his forehead called out his empty, lifeless eyes.

The crystal ball exploded violently, leaving a wound on Zhu Jiuyin's hand that was scratched by fragments, and blood slowly gushed out.

Unable to heal.

He covered the wound when a mask suddenly appeared in front of him.The ferocious face and a threatening sound did not frighten Zhu Jiuyin, he looked at the mask calmly.The smile behind the mask was a little helpless, and lost interest in an instant.

"Cooperate and you won't die."

Xiao Xiao waved the dragon mask in front of him, with a smirk on his face.

12.7 at 21:13 p.m.

The drunk man walked staggeringly, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, a few drops of wine only moistened his tongue.He yelled: "Damn, it's gone again!" The drunk man threw the bottle into the alley with all his strength, and the rolling sound of the bottle falling to the ground was very clear.He felt nauseated in his stomach and wanted to vomit, so he covered his mouth and propped his hands on the wall before throwing up.

After vomiting for a while, until there was nothing left to vomit in his stomach, he wiped the edge of his mouth with his hands, and took another mouthful: "Fuck, if I have money, I don't have to be so aggrieved." Although his face was flushed, he seemed to be more sober after vomiting for a while, but his mind was obviously not so clear: "When the hell will you give me money, I want money, I want money!" The drunk man roared, also I don't know who to talk to, "The dead old woman doesn't even give me more money, even if I don't even have the money to buy wine, I know I'm hiding it."

He was swearing, and the words he said were unsightly. He staggered and walked under the dim streetlight, and heard a few cat meows.

"Where did the wild cat come from, go away!" The drunk man cursed, but he didn't see any wild cats nearby, he just heard cats meowing.On the contrary, a few black shadows sprang out directly above him and flew in front of him.These black shadows all have a pair of bat wings, their bodies are relatively round, and they are black all over, just like the dumpling in anime, with two small horns growing on their heads, their eyes are half-closed, and they make a meowing sound.

"What the hell!" He was taken aback, and then cursed again. "Do you want to become rich, meow?" Those black balls half-closed their eyes, with a faint scarlet in their eyes, and their whole facial expressions seemed to be smiling mischievously.The drunk man stared at them with his eyes wide open, his greed outstripping his fear.

12.9.am.7:15

"Fuck, have you heard that news, get rich overnight?" Qi Bagua talked to them enthusiastically again, showing envy: "I also want to get rich overnight.

"Just you, aren't you all a rich second generation?"

"No matter how rich he is, can he be as rich as him?" Qi Bagua curled his lips, and pointed to Lang Bai - Han Fangqi next to him. "That's true, in the final analysis we are still unworthy." Zhang Tang waved his hand, whether he was compatible with Qi Bagua or not.

In a mansion, the drunk man from last night has been completely reborn. If he hadn't spoken, people who know him probably wouldn't be able to tell. "Fucking Rolex!" Li Guan took out the Rolex from the watch stand as if he had never seen the world, put it carefully on the palm of his hand, and put it on his wrist with breathless concentration.He smiled happily, and asked the three black balls again: "I'm going, what are you, so powerful?" "Meow, we are dead and alive, oh meow." Still picking up their suits, the Dead, Lives and Wealths didn't speak.Suddenly a string in his mind tightened: "Death makes money? Could it be—" "That's what you think, meow, exchanging life for money, meow." They laughed, and Li Guan's expression turned ugly. "Don't worry, meow, other people's lives are okay too, meow, someone did this a long time ago, meow."

12.16. 8:00 p.m.

"Yinheng, you're here, eh, you're here too?" Han Fangqi was wearing a straight suit, exuding the air of a gentleman, but Yinheng was broken as soon as he came. "I'll just stroll around casually." Lang Bai put his hands on his neck and looked around casually. "...just because I don't study well, doesn't mean I'm stupid."

Lang Bai laughed a few times, and then pretended to be very calm: "I'm here to do something, I heard that this old man has a kidney deficiency." Lang Bai pretended to describe the purpose of this trip, and then changed the topic to use Covering his hands, he whispered to Han Fangqi.

"..." The corners of Han Fangqi's eyes twitched, his heart was turbulent, and he wanted to fork this thing out.

"Yinheng, come here." Han Fangqi pulled Yinheng aside, making sure that no one would find this position and that Lang Bai would not be able to hear him. "What are you doing?" Yinheng wanted to move his hand away, but Han Fangqi tightly strangled his neck: "I'm telling you, don't let him talk about this thing later, as soon as he speaks, we may be finished." .”

"I understand, he won't make trouble."

Only then did Han Fangqi let go of his hand, and Yinheng managed to breathe through it.

"And he came with his master."

"Master? His master is also in business?"

Yin Heng pondered for a while, and said: "Business is not enough. I heard from Lang Bai that his master brought him here to get rid of evil spirits."

"Evil? Who are you fooling around with so many people? I'm no longer the idiot I was in No. [-] Middle School. The old me is dead."

Yinheng got used to hearing his blackened and mentally handicapped speech.

"How long?"

"I still have to wait for half an hour." Han Fangqi looked at the watch on his wrist, "Hey, you're actually wearing a watch." Yin Heng cast a glance and teased.

"Wouldn't it be detrimental to your image to play with your mobile phone aboveboard?" He tugged at his tie, coughed, straightened his back and looked like a gentleman.Yinheng pointed him over there, and he looked along: Lang Bai was having a great time sitting on the chair and playing with his mobile phone.

"...Lang Bai!" Han Fangqi went over to pick up Lang Baiti and dragged him into the bathroom. "Hey, what are you doing?" Lang Bai kept flapping his hands while being held up by his collar. "Fang Qi, please remember to hold your head lightly." Yin Heng stood at the door of the bathroom and said, "Hey wait, this is not a school." He slipped away as if nothing happened.

"I beg you, don't treat it like your own family, okay, this business is very important, and I'll be cold if it doesn't work out." Han Fangqi shook his arm, with a hint of humility in his words.

"It's okay, I don't know you. I came with my master." Lang Bai put his phone in his pocket, and choked Han Fangqi with his words.

"Are you two alright? Mr. Xia is coming soon." Yinheng's voice came from outside, Han Fangqi hurried out, followed by Lang Bai.

Xia Ming raised her wine glass and made a series of courteous remarks, and the dinner was about to begin.Lang Bai pulled out a chair casually: "Please sit down." The lady next to him nodded slightly and sat down.It was another boring and polite speech, and Lang Bai had to toast with them after listening to it in a daze, "Evil capitalism." Lang Bai said to himself, "Where did the master go to drink again?"

"Which family does the young master belong to?" The lady next to Lang Bai suddenly turned her head and asked him, her voice was soft and delicate, and it sounded numb. "Me? I'm here to do something." Lang Bai didn't expect her to come to talk to him, so he quickly took a sip of his wine to suppress his shock.

Yinheng noticed his strangeness, stopped the knife in his hand and looked this way, giving him winks from time to time. "What's the matter, Xiaoheng, have you found a girl you like?" These words caused everyone at the table to burst into laughter, "No, you're joking." He pretended to be fine and used the table knife, but he still couldn't help but look at Lang. Bai glanced over there. "Hey, we Xiaoheng must be promising, unlike my son who knows how to stay in school at this time and doesn't come to say anything, and then look at Xiaoheng, he knows how to socialize now hahaha." Then it was There was a burst of laughter, and Yinheng paused.

"I was the one to be rude, so let me introduce myself. I am the daughter of the Lin Group, Lin Niyu." Lin Niyu smiled lightly to ease the embarrassment. "Oh, Lang Bai." Lang Bai introduced very simply and neatly, and sincerely hoped that she would stop talking to her.

"Master Xia." The crowd at the banquet swarmed up, picked up their wine glasses and greeted Mr. Xia who came over, Lang Bai could only stand up and toast when he saw this.Master Xia clinked glasses one by one, and when it was time for Lang Bai, he laughed a few times: "Hahaha, Young Master Han is indeed a good-looking talent, with such an aura on his body, one can tell that there will be great achievements in the future, hahaha."

He clinked glasses with Lang Bai, and the guests around him began to boast again. Lang Bai looked at Master Xia calmly, and pointed to the Han Fangqi on the table: "Master, you are wrong, Young Master Han is there." He suddenly fell silent. , Mr. Xia's smile froze, and he quickly reacted: "Haha, it's probably because I'm old and I can't recognize people clearly."

The surrounding guests seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and began to strike up a conversation with Mr. Xia. They didn't say much good things, and said, "It's not because of your age, it should be because you were blinded by evil spirits." The scene was cold again.Lang Bai sat on the seat, sipping tea carefully, yes, that's what he said just now.

Master Xia's complexion was ashen, and he was about to get angry. Lin Niyu had an idea, and stepped forward to act like a baby with Master Xia, diverting his attention.The Lin family and the Xia family are family friends, and Mr. Xia watched Lin Niyu grow up. Hearing her acting like a baby at this time, it can be regarded as calming down, so he went back to find Han Fangqi.

Lin Niyu sat back in his seat, the atmosphere at the table was already chilled, and the person who chilled the atmosphere was still drinking tea as if nothing had happened. "This little friend, who are you?" At this moment, some people already disliked him. After all, some of them sincerely came to celebrate Master Xia's birthday, and they all came to climb higher branches. "Lang Bai." Lang Bai looked calm and his tone was flat. "Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you?" Some people began to criticize, after all, those who can come to Mr. Xia's birthday banquet are not ordinary people, at least they must be rich.The accident just now had embarrassed them, so they wanted to find someone to vent their anger on.

"I came here to do it, my friend. Seeing that your complexion is not good, your Yintang is black, and there seems to be black air all over your body, and you are always sweating from your body since you came in. Listen to my advice, four words, keep improving. "Lang Bai finished the purpose of the trip he made up in one breath, and taunted him by the way, and the hatred value was instantly filled up.A few people faintly laughed, and that person's face turned purple, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Haha, you are very interesting, you are very eloquent, do you want to dance with me later?" Lin Niyu was obviously attracted by him,

"Dance?"

"Well, do you have a partner?"

"No, I don't know how to dance." Lang Bai declined, and took a sip of his tea, but he almost choked on the next sentence. "I'll teach you."

"What did you say last sentence?"

"Do you have a partner?"

"Yes, over there." Lang Bai pointed to a table of banquets immediately after she finished speaking.Lin Niyu looked over, there were no girls at the banquet, could it be——she was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and covered her mouth with her hand.

"...Why do you have such a big reaction?" "Could your partner be—" Lin Niyu couldn't speak clearly, pointing at a person and asking in an uncertain tone: "Is he?"

"Huh?" Lang Bai looked back, after all, he was pointing blindly just now, and then he and Yinheng met eyes. "Damn it." Lang Bai swears silently, his little heart can't be frightened, "No one is lucky."

Yinheng still wanted to see what would happen to these two people next, but he didn't expect Lang Bai to point at him, and the two of them actually looked back at him, feeling a little flustered and guilty of being caught.On the other hand, on the side of Han Fangqi, although the waves are calm on the surface, there is a fierce tide in the dark.

Lang Bai: "Let's go."

At this time, the dinner party was almost over, guests entered the ballroom one after another, Lang Bai stepped forward to greet Yin Heng. "Well, you and Ms. Lin are—" "It doesn't matter." Before Yinheng finished speaking, Lang Bai took the first step to clear up the relationship, and added: "What's the matter?" Coupled with his slightly teasing expression, Yinheng stopped his mouth.

"Let me tell you, something funny happened just now. Mr. Xia recognized me as Han Fangqi. You said that no matter how old he was, he wouldn't have misidentified me. And those guests..." Lang Bai whispered excitedly Then, the two sat on chairs by the dance floor, eating melon seeds.Did Yinheng give some response, and after he finished speaking, he answered his question: "Master Xia has been managing the family business in other cities, and this year he came back to his home for some reason, and besides, he has never had any contact with us, and he doesn't know anyone. It's normal."

"That doesn't mean that I'll be recognized as him, but if there is a photo, it won't be." Lang Bai muttered softly while chewing sunflower seeds: "I just came to find someone, and if I didn't find someone, I would be connoted. "

Yinheng: "Coincidentally, it was Uncle Han who took care of these entertainments before, and Han Fangqi didn't like taking pictures, so they only had a photo of a child in their hands, so that's it. Isn't Xia Ming the one you're looking for?" He In the end, he turned around again, thinking that the reason Lang Bai told him was to find someone.He clapped his hands and looked indifferent, "No, you can hear me when I speak so quietly." Lang Bai didn't pay attention to what he said at all, but he was shocked that he could hear himself whispering: "I thought you couldn't hear me when I was so noisy."

"Yeah, so I'm listening carefully." Yinheng didn't relax his movements, and the melon seeds popped out of the skin one by one, revealing the white flesh.

Lang Bai was eating melon seeds with a handful in his hand when Han Fangqi happened to come over.

Han Fangqi: "Okay, I'm going to die for the whole game, you two hid here to eat melon seeds?" He was so angry that Lang Bai continued to laugh: "Hey, don't make trouble, I don't want to disturb you Well." He blinked and gestured to the girls next to him. "You wait for me." Han Fangqi glared at him, looked back, and stretched out another hand. Lang Bai poured some melon seeds on his hand, and Han Fangqi withdrew his hand and walked away quickly.

"Hey, look, this kid just wants to eat melon seeds." Lang Bai moved a little closer to Yin Heng, and laughed in his ear.

"...I think he wants that." Yinheng turned his head away and moved his body quietly.

"Huh?" Lang Bai turned his eyes to the side, he didn't pay attention to the abnormality of Yinheng next to him, he only saw a bottle of red wine standing there quietly.

"Never mind him, keep drinking."
