After walking out of the strategy bureau, because of chatting with Jiang Lanxin, I forgot the time for a while. Now it is completely dark, and the streets are bustling with cars and people.
Lin Ran walked alone with his bag, and seemed to be thinking about something under the dim streetlight.
The home is at least ten kilometers away from the War Strategy Bureau. After seeing so many distances, most people must be planning to take a taxi. Lin Ran's own luck, he may not be able to take a taxi so late. Besides, the old man this morning The profound influence and strong psychological shadow that music brought to him made him afraid to do that kind of environment-sealed transportation for a while.
A distance of ten kilometers is quite far for ordinary people. If you walk with two legs, it will take about two hours. Unfortunately, Lin Ren is not an ordinary person. Even if he is not in the state of magical girl transformation, the posture of ordinary people will be strengthened by the connection with the heart of magic.
It's so late, there should be no pedestrians on the road, so it's not impossible to find a route with fewer pedestrians, right...
Lin Ran thought so, but suddenly the indifferent laughter came to mind.
Lin Ran's footsteps that were moving forward at a high speed suddenly froze in place.
In the darkness, he turned his head slowly, observed that there was nothing abnormal behind him, and then turned his head to look forward, and there was nothing wrong with the front.
At this moment, the voice in my mind sounded again.
"Don't look for it, I didn't interfere with the real world, you can't find me in reality."
Liuli's special immature and clear voice sounded again.
Lin Ran's originally stiff body slowed down, and then said helplessly.
"Please, it's rude to suddenly have a weird laugh in someone else's head."
"What's wrong, I'm just feeling bored, and I'll come out for a walk, besides, I brought you some interesting news when I came out this time..."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Ran frowned slightly, he knew that whenever Liu Li said something happened, it was definitely not a whim.
To a certain extent, Liuli will predict the occurrence of some things.
"Remind you, on the way home, it's best not to use the flight to hurry, otherwise you will miss some important things..."
The voice changed back to the original indifference, and there was no reminder other than that. Lin Ren stood there silent for a long time, then clenched his fists and quickened his pace to go home.
At night, the lights of the city are colorful. Under this scene, countless brilliant lights re-reflect this dark world into a mysterious and hard-to-find night world.
Walking in the dark and under the light, Lin Ran's vigilance has been pulled to full twelve points, and in the case of a male body, his perception has also been pulled to the maximum.
The five-meter range around him was included in the warning area by Lin Ran, and as he kept moving forward, the ghostly figure was not at all as fast as a human could run out with two legs.
Suddenly, when Lin Ran ran to a slightly dark street corner where no one passed by, Liu Li's voice sounded again.
"Stop, feel carefully..."
Lin Ran's footsteps stopped at the sound, and then he stood on the spot like a sculpture. Lin Ran's black eyes looked around vigilantly, and the perception in his consciousness was frantically identifying the so-called interesting things.
Finally, at the edge of perception, a dark, strange, damp and disgusting aura was suddenly caught by Lin Ran. Lin Ran's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the dark eyes became extremely deep.
He looked around with a slightly gloomy expression. The darkness swallowed everything around him. In that unknown area, there was a familiar and disgusting aura spreading...
Why did this kind of aura suddenly appear in Jinling City?Obviously this kind of existence should no longer exist in this world, but why did the feeling of being by my side reappear?
The conscious perception is still catching the feeling just now, but unfortunately nothing is found. It just caught a little bit of that breath before, but it slipped away quickly.
Lin Ran looked around in a little discouragement. Suddenly, just as he was about to give up this area and continue exploring, a familiar petite figure suddenly appeared in an alley on the corner of the street.
With silver hair, glazed eyes, and a pure white dress, Liuli stood there, looking at herself quietly, and then stretched out her slender fingers to point to the inside of the alley.
"Oh here."
After getting the reminder, Lin Ran went straight to the inside of the alley without even thinking about it. The inside of the alley was extremely narrow, and without lights, the darkness swallowed everything. In front of him was a dark area where he could not see his fingers. If there were no lights, running in this winding and complicated alley would sooner or later hit the wall.
The magic heart in his bosom was pulled out suddenly, and the bright light bloomed from the inside of the glazed heart. The light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the road ahead for Lin Ran. Lin Ran clenched the magic necklace in his hand and ran forward with all his strength.
Liuli was right in reminding her, the disgusting breath in her perception was recaptured, and with the intensity of the change of feeling, the distance between herself and the source should be getting closer and closer.
In the intricate alleyway, it is narrow and varied. During its running, its clothes were scratched by the dust on the wall and became messy. There were too many corners, so it was impossible to run fast, and its speed was severely restricted.
Lin Ran gritted his teeth and kept increasing his speed. If that kind of thing really appeared, then he must not let it go. Compared to a physical alien beast, that kind of thing is truly terrifying and terrifying. trouble……
"Hurry up, if you don't hurry up, the mouse hiding in the shadows will run away..."
Liuli's side seemed to rub against his ears, Lin Ran clenched his fists, his clothes were rattling by the wind from running.
Finally, it seemed that it was about to reach the end. The field of vision in front of him was not so narrow and became wider. When the light illuminated the darkness, that black figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was a slightly thin figure. She was wearing a black cloak and her face could not be seen clearly. She was squatting on the ground, holding a special glass bottle in her slender hand. The lid had been opened. With Lin Ran's arrival, the last trace of black air in the glass had completely floated out...
As if feeling the strong stimulation of the light, the figure stood up abruptly, and then smashed the glass bottle on the ground without hesitation. The sharp glass shards scattered, making Lin Ran subconsciously avoid it.
At this moment, the black figure jumped up quickly and landed on the top of the wall. Seeing this, Lin Ran naturally didn't want him to escape from this place, and clenched the necklace tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to transform immediately.
Just as he was getting ready for the posture and was about to say the word transformation, suddenly, a severe dizziness came from his mind, the necklace in his hand was not held firmly, and fell to the ground, the transformation failed...
The figure by the wall glanced at Lin Ran, who had a slightly painful expression, and then sank into the darkness without looking back.
The black mist in the air that was previously sealed in the bottle seemed to have disappeared here at some point, Lin Ran held his dizzy head, and could not help cursing in his mind.
"Hey, why did you lose the chain at a critical moment?!"
"It's not my fault, it's because you didn't control your own state well. Even if you're in energy-saving mode, transforming for a whole day, or if you're burdened by one person, it's certain that you won't be in good spirits..."
Liuli's innocent voice came back in his mind again, Lin Ran sat on the ground, picked up the necklace, and thumped his dizzy head by the way, sighing helplessly.
"It's really bad luck!"
That figure in the dark night has already run far away, and it is definitely difficult to chase after him, let alone that aura, if they are together, there is still a great chance of restraining him when he is just released Hold, once it is completely released, that kind of existence is like an intangible loach, which is difficult to catch.
In the darkness, Liuli's figure appeared next to Lin Ran again. She looked at the fragments of the glass bottle on the ground, her eyes seemed thoughtful.
"Is that guy going to appear again..."
A childish and cold voice resounded in the darkness, but there was some unknown emotion in the pure jewel-like eyes.
Chapter 28 Reminder
In the process of returning home, Lin Ran looked very decadent. It was a very good time to catch him just now, but because of the unexpected body dizziness, he failed to transform himself, and missed the opportunity...
Thinking about it now, Lin Ran regretted wanting to hit his head with a fist. It was really abominable. If he didn't get dizzy sooner, he wouldn't be dizzy later, but the side effects came at a critical moment...
But there is no way to do this. Since the enemy has already run away, it is useless to regret it. The only thing I can do now is to go home to wash and rest. It is already very late. I wonder if my mother and Lin Yiluo have returned home?
Lin Ran panted and walked on the street. In front of her was the floor of her own community. Today, she looked up and saw that the light in the living room was still on on the sixth floor where she was.
"Good guy, it's so late, are the two of you still asleep?"
Lin Ran muttered, and then pressed the elevator button to go upstairs. When the key was inserted into the keyhole with a crisp sound, the mechanical rhythmic rotation made the tired heart feel a little joy.
The door was opened, and the warm orange light at the entrance made Lin Ran's tired heart feel comfortable and warm. The young man sighed, sat on the entrance, and took off his shoes.
The cotton slippers were soft on the feet, and the soles made a clicking sound when they stepped on the tiled floor. As soon as he got home, Lin Ran felt that the whole house was very quiet.
"It's so late, both of you should be asleep, right?"
Lin Ran muttered softly, but just as he walked into the living room, he found a petite figure in a white bear pajamas sitting alone on a chair by the reception table in the living room.
My sister has been waiting for me to come back...
Seeing this scene, Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, he looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief, wanted to ask something, but choked.
"Ilo..."
The girl may have heard the footsteps and turned her head to look at Lin Ran, as if she saw the dust on the young man's clothes, or it might really be the mysterious connection between brother and sister, looking at Lin Ran with the tiredness that she tried her best to conceal but could not completely hide.
The cold and expressionless face on the girl's face also froze for a moment. For some reason, looking at the young man in front of her, she had clearly warned herself that they were just brothers and sisters. They should grow up and each other should have their own lives...
But even so, the bastard left his precious memory for five years without any reason. The five blank years are the most precious growth process for a girl.
But obviously, as the elder brother, he didn't witness the most precious growth of his sister. At that time, when he encountered difficulties again and again, where would he be as the elder brother?How many tears did I shed for this matter?Obviously, they have made up their minds to distance themselves from each other...
But even so, when I saw him returning home again, my heart that should have been kept cold couldn't help but soften...
The dusty clothes, the tired eyes, the dejected but forced smile, all these pictures made the girl unable to bear to face them with a cold attitude.
"Why are you back so late?"
The girl's flat voice sounded, it was obviously as cold and indifferent as usual, but it was unknowingly gentler.
"I...well, the internship company works overtime."
Faced with his sister's words of sudden concern, Lin Ran seemed a little uncomfortable. In order not to let the other party wait too long for an answer, in a panic, he found a random reason and dumped the blame on his best friend's company.
Anyway, they are best friends, so Yu Wenzhou shouldn't care about this little problem... right?
"..."
Lin Yiluo stood there, silent for a moment. She didn't know whether the other party was telling the truth. Obviously, the former self would always believe him without reservation, but countless lies and promises that could not be fulfilled finally broke the trust established between each other over the years.
The girl raised her head to observe the young man's appearance again. Her hair was messed up, her clothes were covered with dust, the zipper of the briefcase in her hand was not tightened, and there were a few more A4 paper corners at the corner...
This appearance is no different from the social animals that are crazily squeezed every day on the street. From this point of view, he should not have lied to himself, so let's... just trust him once.
The girl stood up from the chair holding the phone, and then she walked around the young man to her room, just when her hand was on the doorknob...
After all, Lin Yiluo couldn't calm down, she turned her head and said to Lin Ran in that unnatural voice.
"There are leftovers in the kitchen pot. You will heat them up in the microwave before eating. Handle them with care. Mom is already asleep."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Yiluo turned sideways, covered his burning face with his hands, and returned to his room as if escaping.
Then there was the sound of closing the door, and with a crisp slap, Lin Ran stood there blankly, looking at the door of his sister's room. After a long time, a gratified smile slowly appeared on the young man's face.
"thanks……"
At that moment, Lin Ran seemed to have returned to his boyhood. He stood at the door of his sister, lowered his head, and there was emotion and guilt in his dark eyes.
Thousands of thoughts rushed into his mind, and he had countless words to say to the door, but in the end, he still ended with the most concise thanks...
Back in the kitchen, he opened the pot. The food in the pot was well placed and heated in the microwave for 3 minutes. With this not-so-rich meal, Lin Ran made up for dinner.
After eating, washing the dishes, and washing up, it was already 11 o'clock. At this time, most ordinary people should have gone to bed, but Lin Ran was lying in bed and could not fall asleep.
Obviously, the brain should be very sleepy during this period of time, but even if I close my eyes, the scene of chasing that strange black shadow at night, and the aura that makes me feel extremely disgusting...
It seemed that the more he thought about it, the more awake he became. Lin Ran also knew that he would not be able to fall asleep tonight, so he simply got up and did something else.
He stood up, first opened the locked bedside table, checked the heart of magic, and saw that glass-like necklace lying quietly in the wooden drawer, Lin Ran locked it again without hesitation. up.
Then he came to his desk again. Since he entered university, he rarely wrote anything on the desk. Looking at the dusty tabletop, Lin Ran stroked the rough surface with his hand as if feeling quite touched.
Granular dust covered the surface of his fingers. Lin Ran sighed, squatted down again, and opened the desk cabinet that he hadn't used all year round. The thick, cough-disgusting dust immediately filled the whole space.
Lin Ran waved the dust in front of him, and immediately started to rummaging in the cabinet. The things in the cabinet were all messy and old, and it was extremely troublesome to search for them.
A cute hairpin for a white cat, a pink bracelet with crystal texture, a red rain peach branch that will never wither, a bottle of rosemary-scented dark purple perfume, a wreath made of golden sycamore branches, yellow rose petals envelope……
After searching for a long time, Lin Ran finally found the thing he was looking for at the bottom of the bookcase. It was a photo that had been worn by years and was still clear.
Lin Ran took out the photo and put it in the palm of his hand, rubbing the special texture of the photo with his fingers, looking at the seven familiar figures in the photo, the corners of the young man's mouth also unconsciously twitched...
"Have the photos brought back memories of the past?"
Liuli's voice suddenly sounded like a wind chime. Lin Ran turned his head and found that the window of his room had been opened at some time. On the window eaves, a silver-haired girl was sitting there quietly, with two delicate jade legs sticking out of the window and dangling in the air...
In the night sky, her glazed eyes are brighter than the stars in the sky.
"You appeared too many times today..."
Lin Ran stood up and warned with a cold expression.
His dark and deep eyes squinted at the girl on the window sill. He didn't stop Liuli from occasionally coming out to get some air, but if she interfered too much in the real world, he, as a contractor, had to stop her.
"Are you worried..."
Liuli didn't seem to hear Lin Ran's warning. She sat by the window and talked to herself. Her eyes were always looking at the starry sky outside. Her silver-gray pupils seemed to reflect the essence of this world.
"Is it because what happened tonight brought up your bad memories?"
Liuli turned her head and said, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
"..."
But this time, Lin Ran chose to remain silent.
"Lin Ran, you can't save everyone... If you still want to maintain a peaceful life, don't touch those things."
The girl's voice was particularly ethereal.
"In this case, why did you remind me at night and induce me to discover that?"
Lin Ran asked calmly.
"...The right to choose is always in your hands. I'm just reminding you, but since you already have the answer in your heart, then go boldly and use our power to smash the darkness in nothingness..."
