There's always someone trying to kidnap the beast

That night, because he was not used to sleeping in the same room, Ling Guang climbed to the roof in the middle of the night to watch the stars and the moon.

It's a pity that he hates dark nights the most.

Ling Guang opened his right hand and summoned a cluster of fireballs.The jumping flames hovered not far above the palm of his right hand, and through the flames he vaguely saw a moving shadow not far away.

……

anyone? !

Ling Guang quickly extinguished the fire in his hand, and squinted at the black figure vigilantly.

The black shadow approached a little bit, and seemed to be holding something in his arms.Due to the backlight, Ling Guang couldn't see who it was.

However, according to his feeling, it was almost ugly time.People who come here at this time, I am afraid that their intentions are worth investigating.

Ling Guang put one hand on his lap, sat up straight, and patiently waited for the black shadow to get closer.

The black figure seemed to be thinking about something, and when he hurriedly approached to a radius of more than 20 steps, he slowed down and was careful not to make a sound.

Ling Guang's body was tense, and his red eyes in the darkness were tightly locked on the shadow of unknown origin. There was a faint dark color flowing in the bottom of his eyes, like a hunter staring at his prey, bright and upright waiting for an opportunity in a place that is not hidden move.

Fortunately, that person didn't notice the bright figure on the roof, and approached slowly step by step.

When he was only ten steps away from the house, Ling Guang moved his right hand, and a ball of fire the size of a palm hit the figure quickly.

The man seemed to have sensed the sudden light, and stood there in a daze, waiting to be smashed.

As the fireball approached, Ling Guang finally saw the man's face clearly—it was the child from before!

Ling Guang's pupils shrunk, seeing that the fireball was about to hit the child's vitals, he quickly threw another fireball from another angle at a faster speed, and at the same time jumped up from the roof.

"careful!"

A voice came suddenly, and immediately before Ling Guang landed, a white figure quickly threw the child down.

At the same time, two fireballs collided, causing the first one to deviate from its direction and almost missed Jian Bin.

On the other hand, Ling Guang landed on the ground with his left hand because he was in a hurry.Severe pain swept through the entire left hand, he didn't even groan, stood up eagerly, walked over quickly and asked, "Are you all right?"

Everything happened so suddenly and quickly, the child who was thrown down didn't react for a while, and his mouth was open and he couldn't speak.

On the contrary, Jian Bin patted the clothes with several burnt threads and stood up from the ground. After looking at the child to confirm the situation, he said with lingering fear: "It's okay, luckily we can make it in time."

Ling Guang also breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to pull the child up, and said, "Sorry, I thought it was someone with bad intentions who attacked in the middle of the night."

The child paused for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly grabbed Ling Guang's hand, stood up with his strength, shook his head and said softly, "No, I don't blame you. I was reckless."

There was timidity in the child's voice.

Ling Guang and Jian Bin looked at each other for a while, but finally Jian Bin was defeated. He half-squatted and looked into the child's dodging eyes, showing two small canine teeth, and asked with a smile, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

The child timidly raised his head to look at Jian Bin several times, and thought he took a sneak peek at Ling Guang, seeing that they didn't mean to blame him.Then he opened his mouth and said softly: "I, I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to tell the adults, but, but I heard that you are leaving tomorrow. I am afraid that I will catch up in the morning. If I can't make it, I want to wait here with..."

The child's few words made Ling Guang and Jian Bin dumbfounded.Ling Guang crossed his arms and asked, "Could it be that you still plan to sleep outside here overnight?"

No matter how you say it is a bit chilly at night, how can a mere ten-year-old survive a night in the open?

Just seeing the child's head bowed and not daring to speak, Ling Guang knew he was right.

Afraid that Ling Guang's blunt tone would frighten the child, Jian Bin said with a smile: "Ling Guangguang is concerned about you. What if something happened to your child so late? It happens that we are still awake tonight. Say it now?"

The child seemed to realize that he still had business to do, organized his words, and said, "Well, that remnant soul you are talking about was forcibly introduced into my body by a person who I don't know if it was a divine beast or a magical beast."

The child's words caused Ling Guang and Jian Bin to frown at the same time.

Because of the failure of returning to the soul before, they all forgot to worry about it, but now that the child took the initiative to mention them, they realized that something was wrong.

Jian Bin suspected that Lu Shu did something good, and asked, "Do you remember what that man looked like? Did he have white hair and black clothes?"

The child thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "No, he has a horn on his head."

"A horn growing on his head?" Ling Guang has no impression of this person at all, he only knows one man with horns on his head, but Meng Zhang with two horns.

Jian Bin couldn't think of who it was for a while, and then asked, "Then do you know why he did this?"

The child shook his head and said, "I don't know. All I know is that before that, he said, 'Actually, I don't want to, just bear with it, and you'll be fine when they come', and he left after that. Lost."

Ling Guang tilted his head slightly, and asked Jian Bin: "Are all the people in World of Warcraft so polite?"

Whether it is the deer Shu I met earlier or the one the child mentioned, they are respectful and modest.

"Not at all." Jian Bin looked up at Ling Guang and replied, "Warcraft with higher status will be better cultivated. The world of Warcraft is managed in different levels, and high-level monsters must learn to be graceful since they were young. It is equivalent to some of the human world. It’s like that of the big family. No matter how elegant and polite they are, they are still bloodthirsty and rude cold-blooded animals in essence—probably like gentle scum.”

Ling Guang raised his eyebrows and murmured: "So that's the case. So what Lu Shu and the child met were all high-level monsters?"

Jian Bin nodded, and said, "That's right. It seems that we are speeding up our search for the soul. According to Bai Ze's speculation later, your remnant soul should have been washed into five parts, and now there are three parts left. "

Ling Guang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Jian Bin grinned, turned back and continued to look at the child, and asked, "We understand what you said, do you have anything else to do? If not, you should go to bed as soon as possible, it is already very late."

The child thought that Jian Bin was about to issue an order to evict the guests, so he hurriedly took out the paper he was holding in his arms, unfolded it, handed it to Ling Guang, and said, "My lord, when the soul entered my body, a picture flashed in my mind. In order to prevent forgetting, I drew it down, would you like to see it?"

Hearing this, Ling Guang shook his sleeve and hid the palm of his left hand. After taking the rice paper with his right hand, he held the other side between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand and observed carefully.

Jian Bin also stood up and came over, resting his head on Ling Guang's shoulder.

The child's drawing skills are not very good. In the painting, four unknown things are put together, and then there is another black one not far away.

Looking at it, Jian Bin couldn't help shouting: "What is this painting of yours...?"

It was rare for the child to be silent and did not answer - he admitted that his drawing skills were really bad, but compared to talking and describing with these big figures, he should choose this way.

It's just that Ling Guang frowned tightly since he arrived at the painting.

Several images also popped up in his mind at the same time.

Four 90-[-]-year-old children, red, white, black and green, talked and laughed together. Another [-]-year-old red-clothed child hid behind the wall and poked his head out but did not dare to come forward.

Inadvertently, the child in red met the eyes of the child in white. Seeing him frowning slightly, the red-clothed quickly retracted his head. After hearing the conversation not far away, he bit his lip and stomped his feet before running away——

"Who is that hiding over there? It looks like you."

"Ling'er? Ling'er is my brother."

"I always feel that he... is a bit stupid, and his personality is different from yours."

"He just..."

The next sound may have gradually weakened and blurred because the child in red ran away.

"Ling Guang?"

Jian Bin's sudden utterance brought back Ling Guang's thoughts.He came back to his senses and answered him, asking, "What's wrong?"

Jian Bin saw that Ling Guang's face was not very good, and said, "What's wrong with you just now? I think there is something wrong with your expression, and your face is not very good at the moment."

Ling Guang let go of his left hand, avoiding Jian Bin's sight, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something suddenly."

Then he handed the paper back to the child and said, "Thank you very much. It's not too late, so don't go back. I won't sleep tonight, so you can go to sleep in the house."

After speaking, he told Jian Bin to "take care of him" and rushed back to the roof.

"Ah? Oh..."

Although Jian Bin was worried about Ling Guang, he couldn't abandon the child, so he was in a dilemma and took the timid child back to the room, but before going back, he took a deep look at Ling Guang.

Ling Guang jumped onto the roof and sat down straight down, slowly rubbing his temples with one hand.

"If it weren't for the fact that you two were born the same, I really wouldn't have recognized that it was your younger brother. The difference is huge."

"Ling'er has been introverted since she was a child, and is not good at dealing with people."

"Then why does he like to hide in the corner and eavesdrop so much?"

"Ling'er's original intention should be to come to find me, but I thought it would be impossible to continue like this, so I ignored it and let him come by himself. I didn't expect it would not work."

"But he's cute this way."

"Of course, Ling'er is the cutest."

"Okay, okay, I know you like your brother the most."

……

Noisy voices hovered in his mind, but because they were all similar childish voices, except for the one with "Ling'er" who he knew was definitely his brother, he could only distinguish three people from the other voices.

Should it be Jian Bin, Meng Zhang and Zhi Ming?

Ling Guang recalled the previous scenes.But he felt strange, he ran away quickly in the end of the picture, these voices should not pop out as his memory.

Or is this the next few times?

Ling Guang couldn't help rubbing his painful temples, and couldn't help feeling irritable.

Since waking up, he has been troubled by all kinds of messy memories, as well as what Lu Shu said earlier, and Jian Bin's various performances, all of which are creating one mystery after another.His vigilance does not allow him to trust one of them like this, he can only infer who is more credible based on the only trivial clues.

Ling Guang lay down dejectedly, with his right arm resting on his forehead, looking at the few stars in the night sky.

"It would be great if you could trust Jian Bin." Ling Guang couldn't help murmuring.

But based on his current observation, Jian Bin may not harm him, but it is very likely that he is using him as a substitute——

To replace his dead brother Ling Yun.
