Miss, you are my future wife

The shadow stared at her silently.

Then, one of his hands came out of his wide sleeve, and a cold light shone outside his fingertips in the sunset.

That's a...switchblade? !
Shen Jie swallowed hard, took two steps back, and pressed against the wall of the alley.

This time she was really scared.

Looking at the front and back of the alley, it didn't look like anyone would be passing by anytime soon.

Her survival instinct urged her to take the karate stance and prepare to defend herself.

The black shadow didn't pause much and rushed over.

Shen Jie's body sank and she accepted the attack.

The black shadow seemed to be very disdainful of Shen Jie's resistance. He held the knife in his back hand and moved his fist straight towards Shen Jie's face.

With this kind of careless attack, anyone who has practiced it can just step forward, grab his wrist, and knock him off his feet.

Shen Jie also reacted like this instinctively.

But just as she was about to reach out to cut off the man in black's wrist holding the knife, she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that the other man's footwork was reversed.

Back-stepping makes people uncomfortable to exert force, and even a layman can feel it - that is to say, the more layman is, the less likely he is to use this footwork to punch, but if he is not a layman, he uses this footwork. , it means that this punch is a false move.

Soon enough, the shadow saw Shen Jie reaching for his wrist, raising the corners of his mouth under the hood, swung his fists back, exerted force with his left leg, and then hooked his backhand straight to Shen Jie's chin like lightning.

If the lower jaw is hit by such a heavy punch, let alone a little girl like Shen Jie who weighs less than a hundred pounds, even a strong man weighing two hundred pounds will still sleep like a baby.

Fortunately, Shen Jie noticed his intention, took half a step back in time, dodged the uppercut, grabbed the sleeve of the man in black, turned around and stumbled with her toes, causing the man in black to stumble. Got out.

He staggered forward five or six steps, and then managed to stabilize his position, instead of falling to pieces as Shen Jie had hoped.

Immediately, the man turned around and replaced the knife with his forehand.

Although he couldn't see his expression in the shadow, Shen Jie felt that "angry from shame" must be written there.

So, she rearranged her posture, hooked her fingers, and shouted silently: "Come here!"

In fact, in life, if you have to face a knife-wielding gangster empty-handed, even if you are a good soldier, the best solution is to take advantage of the situation.

But Shen Jie still felt in her heart that the person coming was probably Zhang Zhengkai, who had some skills and must be strong on the outside but strong on the inside. She felt that she had the ability to subdue him and ask the matter clearly.

To take a step back, she still felt subconsciously that even if she lost, the other party would not dare to do anything to her.

Ever since, she regretted it.

"Zhang Zhengkai" is a fighting style that uses a seemingly loose fist to cover the true intention of the backhand hook. Boxers in the boxing ring rarely use it, because the flaws are too large at the same level. If the jab is counterattacked, it will not be possible. Points will be lost if you fall to the ground - on the contrary, it is common in gangster street fights, highlighting the competition of who dares to do evil things.

When faced with a white sword with bare hands, as long as the opponent holding the sword has a black hand, this means that he can't even take a move with his bare hands and can only dodge.

Shen Jie didn't realize this problem until her left arm was cut open with a large cut on her clothes, and blood was splashed all over the floor. In the past practice, she was too accustomed to advantageous games.

However, now that things have happened, it is no longer possible to escape.

The girl could only dodge desperately and try to call for help.

After barely dodging a knife across her throat (dodged, but not completely), the girl was forced into a corner.

On her arms and neck, the pain from the wounds soaked in sweat had become particularly intense.

After this wave of adrenaline was exhausted, Shen Jie was no longer able to fight anymore.

The man in black didn't have any excuses this time, and stabbed Shen Jie's chest with the dagger he held tightly without hesitation.

Seeing that this blow was inevitable, the girl's mind went blank.

In another 0.5 seconds, the switchblade in Sombra's hand will pierce her heart.

"Zhang Zhengkai!" At the critical moment, Shen Jie shouted coldly.

The knife in the black shadow's hand stopped.

Shen Jie gasped for air.

She caught her opponent's hesitation.

The girl didn't hesitate.

She used all her strength and kicked the upper of the snow-white sneakers into the black shadow's crotch.

The black shadow was unmoved.

He seemed to sigh deeply, and also seemed to laugh at his own stupidity and soft-heartedness.

The dagger pierced the girl's heart again.

"Meow!" With a very wild cry, a large gray tabby cat jumped out of the schoolbag on her chest!
The cat's claws hit the black shadow's face, and the tabby cat landed on the ground and ran away.

Although the black shadow was attacked by this attack, the direction of the switchblade did not change.

However, the button on the handle that triggered the mechanism was not pressed after all.

The strength and speed of thrusting forward were also hindered to some extent.

Then it hit a layer of ice.

Even so, this layer of ice was still broken.

When the ice on the girl's chest turned into shards of ice flying, another ice pick hit the black shadow's wrist - and the switchblade in the man's hand fell with the sound.

"Silly girl?!" Shen Jie shouted in surprise and joy.

Wait a minute, Frostbolt?
Behind Yu Luying was a knight wearing tattered armor and riding a thin, blind and lame old horse.

Fortunately, this horse is thin, otherwise it might not be able to run at all in this small alley.

However, when did he unknowingly enter the mirror?
Could it be that like the time at the cash box, he fell into someone else's trap and entered the hidden mirror?
impossible.

Movie time?
Shen Jie raised her head and saw the setting sun still setting in the west, the birds flying by, and she didn't see the huge black moon.

Wait, now is not the time to think about this.

The girl's hands were ignited with blazing flames. When she looked up, she saw that Don Quixote's old horse had trampled the black shadow under its hooves.

The knight raised the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword flashed a cold light in the dim light.

It plunged vertically from top to bottom without mercy.

Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch the black shadow, the black shadow turned into nothingness and dissipated into a black mist.

Xiao Yao was stunned.

Ran?

"Over there!" Shen Jie and Yu Luying shouted in unison.

Xiao Yao raised his head, looked in the direction of the two girls' fingers, and chased after them.

It was a rare thing that Zong Xiao had only taken a few steps when his way was blocked by two horse tripping stakes at the corner of the narrow alley.It is said to be a horse tripping post, but of course it is used to prevent vehicles from entering these days. Unexpectedly, a horse actually tripped over it today.

If the tripping post had a spirit, he would probably be happy about it.

Xiao Yao tightened the reins and shouted, and the pigeon rarely lifted its hooves off the ground, jumped up high and neighed.

Then Xiao Yao knocked over a bamboo pole that an old lady had put out to dry, and the unfortunate quilt was wrapped around his helmet.

By the time he, with Yu Luying's help, angrily pulled off the quilt and threw it to the ground, Heiying and Shen Jie had already run far away.

"Let's go." Xiao Yao jumped off his horse, picked up Nu Chong out of thin air, grabbed Yu Luying's hand and ran away.

After running about 6 or 700 meters, the two turned into a relatively quiet small road, only to see Shen Jie standing at the intersection, looking up at the high-hanging car anti-collision mirror.

"Little Apple, lift me up," Xiao Yao immediately instructed decisively: "Shen Jie is here to help."

"Don't chase the poor," Yu Luying objected: "My sister is injured."

Xiao Yao was shocked when he saw that Shen Jie's neck was bright red and the sleeve of her school uniform had a small tear, with gurgling blood oozing out of it.

"Send to the hospital quickly!" The armor on Xiao Yao's body became transparent and gradually disappeared, revealing the school uniform he was originally wearing.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying took Shen Jie to the hospital. Fortunately, it was just a skin injury. The doctor gave her a tetanus injection and a simple bandage, and she was fine.

However, since these wounds were stab wounds, the doctor was ready to call the police. The third child had to persuade the doctor to give up this plan with great difficulty.

After the matter was almost settled, Yu Bo arrived belatedly.

This guy was wearing a black suit inside and a light-colored long windbreaker outside, and he walked with wind.

He is handsome, but...

The cold air has just blown in today to cool down the temperature. Are you eager to wear so many clothes?
The gray civet cat poked its head out of Shen Jie's schoolbag, pulled open the opening of the schoolbag, opened its round eyes, turned its round head, and looked around the hospital curiously.

While Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were waiting for a taxi, the ghost cat came out of nowhere and pulled up Shen Jie's calf.

Shen Jie survived the catastrophe and survived, still in shock, pretending to be calm and teasing her new cat.

"Dee, dee, dee... Mimi... meow~~~" Shen Jie teased the civet cat's chin with the index finger of her right hand: "Yu~~~hohohoho..."

That happy expression and silly smile, Xiao Yao thought, he looked like Forrest Gump.

While Yu Bo was talking to Yu Luying, Xiao Yao was chatting with Shen Jie.

"Where did you find this cat? Why does it look so familiar to me?" Xiao Yao said.

"It's in school." Shen Jie said matter-of-factly: "When we were on the rooftop at noon, he even came to me asking for food."

Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows: "Isn't that a wild cat in school? You just carried it home like this on the second day of school?"

"So what?" Shen Jie looked at the cat's head with eyes full of love and doting: "You said it was a wild cat. I wonder if no one wants this cat."

"The bus is for private use, right?" Xiao Yao said, "The shared bicycles are locked, right?"

"What does bike sharing mean?" Shen Jie raised her head and asked Xiao Yao.

"Bike sharing is..." Xiao Yao said, "I don't know, I heard Tianyun say it a few times, but that's what it means anyway."

"No matter," Shen Jie continued to pet the cat: "I just like it - it bravely jumped out to save me today, right Mimi?"

Xiao Yao couldn't bear to tell Shen Jie that grandma hated small animals.

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "What would you name it?"

"I never thought about it." Shen Jiehu touched the cat's belly and raised his head again, showing clear and innocent eyes: "Dad, come and get it."

Upon hearing the word "Dad", Yu Bo and Yu Luying turned to look at them.

Xiao Yao: "? Dad, don't talk nonsense."

"Hurry up and give the cat a name." Shen Jie urged.

"Then let's call it dog..." Xiao Yao originally wanted to call her "dog meat", but suddenly he thought that Yu Luying was right next to him, so he didn't want to find anything troublesome, so he said: "Just call her dog, just one word."

"I don't know if it's a dog," Shen Jie said dissatisfied, "but you are a real dog."

"Meow~" said the Chinese garden cat.

"Mimi, what did you say?" Shen Jie stretched out her hand to pull its beard: "Do you like this name?"

"Meow~" said the Chinese garden cat.

"Okay, then you can call the dog a dog from now on." Shen Jie said.

Yu Luying: "?"

Yu Bo also turned his head at this time: "Are you two sure that neither of you entered the mirror or shadow time at that time?"

Shen Jie carefully recalled and reviewed the entire incident and told it to Yu Bo, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying.

"I also noticed that it didn't look like a movie at all," Xiao Yao told Yu Bo: "Yu Luying and I were just looking for it along the way home from school. When we heard the sound, we hurried over. You said there was something sideways there. A large invisible mirror in the open air is impossible no matter how you think about it.”

"You said that person is Zhang Zhengkai?" Yu Bo pondered.

"I'm not 100% sure," Xiao Yao told Yu Bo: "But I'm basically sure that the person I met today was the day we won the World Cup - oh the Asian Cup, I wasn't in the bar with Shen Jie that day. Are you watching the game? The dark figure stuck at the back door peeping at us, I am almost sure it is him. My first reaction that day was also Zhang Zhengkai, because of the face stuck at the back door."

"My first reaction today was also Zhang Zhengkai," Shen Jie added: "But after he talked to me, and when he followed me later, I knew that he was not - even if he was Zhang Zhengkai, he was not the person we usually know. That Zhang Zhengkai."

"I am not familiar with Zhang Zhengkai, so I will not express my opinion." Yu Luying said.

"I was puzzled that day. If it was Zhang Zhengkai, how could he run so fast? How could he have such good physical fitness? How could I not catch up with him?" Xiao Yao continued: "Now I am almost sure, It was a shadow, a shadow made of obsession and pure malice."

"This is the assumption I have never dared to make," Yu Bo said: "Think about it, a shadow can come to the real world, exist for so long, and still be able to fight. What does it mean?"

"He is not the only one who can fight," Shen Jie reminded Yu Bo: "In that place, all three of us can use the fortress' abilities."

"Teacher Yao mentioned it to me before," Yu Bo said, "He recalled that his shadow once briefly came to the main material plane, but only for 7 or 8 minutes."

The three little ones fell into collective silence.

"Brother Bo, do you still remember that alley?" Xiao Yao seemed to suddenly think of something: "I once had a fight with Jiantou and the others there and rescued Zhang Zhengkai, and then you came too - it should be That alley, right?”

"Of course I remember," Yu Bo said solemnly: "That's where Xu Wuchen and his gang - and Zhang Zhengkai and I met for the first time."

"Zhang Zhengkai's shadow," Yu Luying guessed, "transformed that place, the space around him, into the...intersection of the overlay of reality and the shadow world?"

"Hmm...a very interesting hypothesis." Yu Bo commented.

The four of them discussed for a while, but there was no big deal. Yu Bo said he wanted to go back and report to Carl Schedlin, and told him to contact him anytime if he had any questions, so he drove back.

Um?Yu Luying has no intention of going back with Yu Bo?
"Go home, what are you doing standing around?" Yu Luying said coldly to Xiao Yao and Shen Jie: "Do you still want to stay in the hospital for observation?"

"Go back to which home?" Xiao Yao asked eagerly.

"Go back to your grandma's house, which other home can you go to?" Yu Luying said expressionlessly. (End of chapter)
