Romance of Gods

Chapter 1

2007, a certain county in the south.

The county town is located in Guangdong, which is at the forefront of reform and opening up, but it is more like an isolated island floating in the torrent.

Looking at the bustling morning market from the grocery store mirror, there are no soft and glutinous rice rolls or scalding Chaoshan hot pot.

Some are the greasy-stained Anhui plate signs, and the pimples squatting in front of Northeastern restaurants and smoking cigarettes.

Fish from all over the world have grown legs and are flying around the streets, struggling to keep their eyes shining amid chronic suffocation.

Except the store owner——Chen Yan.

The dusty mirror reflected a good face, young, decadent and lifeless.

Suddenly, the unfamiliar aroma broke through the second-hand smoke lingering in the grocery store and rushed to his nose.

perfume.

Growing up, Chen Yan had always stayed away from this pungent floral fragrance, but now he couldn't help sniffing and tried his best to trace the source.

Premium goods.

The rag swept the dust on the mirror, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he was sure that this was the owner of the perfume.

A girl with a ponytail was wearing a blue and white school uniform. The school badge on her chest had lost its color, and only the words "County Second Primary School" were faintly visible.

"The Fuwa is sold out."

damn it.

Half a thought came to mind, but he gave it up and started wiping the tapes stacked on the shelves.

"Play me a song called "Looking Back Again" by Jiang Yuheng."

Jiang Yuheng?
Chen Yan bit his cigarette holder and smiled. In his impression, children of this age would prefer Jay Chou or Tao Zhe.

The girl's face had a calmness befitting her age. She lowered her head and looked past the rental advertisement posted on the glass counter, staring at the full set of Water Margin cards, stacked snacks, and pirated toys displayed on the booth.

"Chen Yan, who once defeated three great martial arts masters in Jinmen, is now living off money by defrauding children?"

Almost at the same time, Chen Yan heard the crisp sound of his eyelids breaking away from the seal of his eyelids.

What is the origin of this child?
Seeing his hand holding the tape paused in mid-air, the girl grinned with a strange charm in her eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

Chen Yan turned around, frowned and repeated.

The girl leaned forward, put her elbows on the counter, and scratched her throat with her thumbs, with a serious look on her face, "You want to pull the straps inside, and then strangle my neck. Suffocating me."

……

Look back

云遮断 归途

Look back

Thorny
今夜 不 会 再 有 难舍 旧 梦

……

The second-hand tape recorder started spinning, and the singing voice coming from the worn-out speaker was noisy, blurring the boundaries between the two eras.

Chen Yan sat on the chair in front of the counter and met the girl's eyes. "You have to compete in the ring and sign a life or death certificate."

Then, his eyes quickly wandered among the people on the street. The person who ordered the child to come should be hiding not far away.

"Chen Yan, 27 years old, his parents died young and he grew up in an orphanage."

"Winning the championship in a provincial martial arts tournament showed his ferociousness for the first time."

"When I was 20 years old, I was invited to participate in the Jinmen Martial Arts Conference. I defeated powerful enemies and finally reached the final round."

"But no one of the famous martial arts masters present expected that the rising star, who had always been humble and courteous, would turn out to be ferocious and seriously injure the three masters of Xingyi, Tai Chi, and Bagua."

"If everyone here hadn't stopped them, I'm afraid you would have killed them, right?"

"Afterwards, you were ostracized by the northern martial arts community and ended up here."

"But you are a nice person. Before they died, you went to the hospital to deliver fruit baskets."

A person.

Chen Yan withdrew his gaze and shifted his attention back to the girl's face.

She has a delicate face, is not afraid of life, and wears high-end perfume.

It must be a descendant of a certain aristocratic family who heard his story and came to "chasing stars"?
He has never deliberately hidden his whereabouts over the years, but no one dares to come here to seek revenge.

He took another Double Happiness stick from the box and brought it to his mouth.

When his parents passed away, he was not much different from this child in age.

But at that time... I was already capable of fighting adults.

Therefore, even if the person coming didn't look threatening at all, he was ready to fight for his life at any time.

"why?"

The girl picked up the lighter in front of her and lit it with a bang.

Looking at the swaying fire clusters, Chen Yan folded his fingers and held the cigarette in his hand.

"Want to hear a story?"

"Yes."

The girl loosened her hand and the flame went out. She looked directly at Chen Yan with burning eyes.

There is not much worth remembering, because the past is very simple.Chen Yan was born into a family of ancient martial arts. At that time, his parents were spotted by a big shot and were selected as bodyguards to go abroad to look for them. They also got the opportunity to perform at a dinner party.

Guangzong Yaozu, stand out, and leave a name in history.

But the fellow was jealous and was killed.

"So, you are avenging your parents?"

Chen Yan relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair, "Yes, how about this story?"

The girl glanced at the "Eternal Dragon Sword" that was upside down on the counter, and shook her head: "It's vulgar. But...it can be regarded as an end to my trip."

"Then go home." Chen Yan reminded kindly, "Don't ride on the motorcycle."

"Before I leave, I'm going to kill you."

The girl has a serious face and a solemn tone.

Chen Yan stared at her and said in an equally solemn tone, "You can't kill me."

"What if I use a gun?"

As she spoke, the girl raised her right hand, compared her fingers to a gun, and pointed it at Chen Yan's chest, her pale pink lips parted slightly:
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Funny, inexplicable.

"What do you mean?"

"English style."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan's chest felt like he had been hit hard by a hammer several times.

The sudden impact caused his body to fall backwards.

The shelves swayed, and Luo Dayou led the stars, rushing to hit his face, which was rapidly losing vitality.

"Kill...killed!"

"Call the police!"

……

Chen Yan's eyes were dull and shocked.

The human voices in his ears were gradually turned into a noisy mess, scarlet spring water gushed out from his chest, and his consciousness was rapidly blurring.

But at this moment, he figured out the girl's secret.

It's bitter melon.

The fascinating smell in the perfume is bitter.

laughing?

The girl walked into the grocery store and looked at Chen Yan's body and his gradually cold smile, feeling a little pity.

Perhaps there is a more interesting story hidden in him.

At the same time, several lines of twisted bloody text appeared in front of her eyes.

【Square salt】

[Calculating death penalty...]

"died?"

The girl's eyes were filled with extremely complex brilliance. She lowered her head and slowly looked at her chest, where bursts of warmth were coming from her.

Her eyes were scarlet and her school uniform was soaked with blood. She put her hand on her throat, which was the source of the blood.

She pulled out the weapon that hurt her, smoked a cigarette, and had a "red" double happiness.

Looking at Chen Yan's right hand in disbelief, his open palm was empty.

Surprise, suffocation.

When her breathing stopped, the girl fell to the ground.

The grocery store, a source of panic, has now become a quiet sanctuary.

Two corpses were stacked on top of each other, with blood flowing freely and singing softly.

The shadows reflected in the eyes of the dead are a comic mime.

——I once asked over and over again in the darkness.

"Where is the ambulance!"

——Looking back again, it suddenly feels like a dream
"Quick! Block the scene!"

——Looking back again, my heart is still the same
"The deceased male was shot three times and died on the spot."

"The cause of death of the female deceased was that a sharp instrument penetrated her throat and injured her arteries..."
