Chapter 69
Chapter 69
The school was originally closer to the business district than the Duke's Mansion. At this time, it was already dark, and most of the streets and buildings were lit up, especially in places like the business district.
The aircraft stopped on the roof of a building, and Shen Ruo turned to look at the display screen of the aircraft. This is Area E.
When he wanted to go down, Chu Xiao still held his waist.
"Tell me what's going on first."
While talking, Chu Xiao thought about all the unusual actions of Shen Ruo before, starting from that fall, always being weird, saying some words he didn't understand, and those behaviors and actions, and even leaving.
Frowning tightly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be something beyond his control. Otherwise, Shen Ruo's sudden desire to leave him would not have puzzled him until now. When he left once, there was no Utiya who made trouble, but Shen Ruo was about to leave suddenly, and he didn't give any reason to convince him.
Although I didn't mention it again later, Chu Xiao couldn't understand these things that were wrong. Seeing that Shen Ruo was willing to come back with him to get the certificate, he suppressed all the previous inquiring psychology, as long as people are fine, but today, suddenly Here comes this out.
"Still can't tell?"
Seeing Shen Ruo's hesitant expression, Chu Xiao put one hand behind his head, inserted his slender fingers into his hair, and then rubbed it hard a few times to vent the oppressive feeling in his heart that he couldn't do anything.
Shen Ruo, whose hair was ruffled, frowned, looking a little aggrieved, but he still couldn't explain it to Chu Xiao, so he sighed softly.
Pressing Shen Ruo against his own forehead, Chu Xiao said slowly, "Someone asked you to come here?"
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that it was right to say so, so Shen Ruo let out a "huh".
"That person can't tell?" Chu Xiao continued to ask.
"Ah."
When Shen Ruo answered again, he felt a little uneasy. When he found that he could answer, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Xiao realized something, but he still knew that Chu Xiao would never think that there was a book in his mind. The presence.
"Not life-threatening?"
This question is undoubtedly very important, and just as Shen Ruo thought, Chu Xiao really didn't know what went wrong, so he could only ask him this.
I thought about all the people or things that might have motives, but whether Shen Ruozai was on Emperor Star or Cross Star, he shouldn't have offended anyone. Thinking this way, Chu Xiao turned on his optical brain, and typed a few symbols to send a message. Going over, Shen Ruo saw it, but he didn't understand it, and he didn't ask any questions. He only answered Chu Xiao's question just now.
"No." Shen Ruo hesitated, he looked at the light screen that followed him like a shadow, and said slowly, "Probably not."
But as soon as this sentence was finished, he saw the extra line of words on the light screen.
[The mission failed, causing the world line to collapse, and the punishment for the host: death]
In fact, I can't believe what's happening in front of me. If, if it's just someone joking with him, using high technology to shield the light screen in front of Chu Xiao, it's just a slightly malicious joke.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruo, who was suddenly threatened with death, was a little dazed to be honest.
"House, host."
A hissing sound similar to an unstable radio wave connection suddenly appeared in my mind, followed by an unstable mechanical sound.
"Please face up to the existence and existence of the system and tasks."
The next sentence sounded in his mind, and he "heard" it, Shen Ruo opened his eyes wide in horror, and his face gradually lost color.
"The connection is unstable, turn, transfer to the task panel."
The mechanical sound sounded again, very real, not at all imaginary.
[Task: Ask the host to follow the original line of the world, let Chu Xiao and the protagonist meet]
[Task time: 46 minutes countdown]
[Consequence of mission failure: death]
Below these two sentences is a long paragraph of small words, describing the scene when the protagonist and Chu Xiao meet in Xiyao Bar.
And Shen Ruo already knew what those small prints were about. There were many vague places in the book in his mind, but the part about the encounter between the protagonist and Chu Xiao was very clear.
Chu Xiao kept looking at Shen Ruo, and found that his expression was wrong, so he frowned.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
All the panic and shock in his heart returned to his senses because of these words, Shen Ruo turned his head to look at Chu Xiao who was very close to him, and he managed to regain his composure.
"Nothing, let's go to Xi Yao's bar first."
Shen Ruo shook her head, knowing that Chu Xiao was worried, but now, only after completing the task can she think about the next thing, there are only 46 minutes left.
Seeing that he was obviously anxious, Chu Xiao didn't say what he wanted to ask, and took Shen Ruo off the aircraft, and took the elevator to Xiyao.
-
The dim and chaotic bar "Xi Yao" is the most mysterious bar in District E. It is difficult for ordinary people to get in, but today, Lu Rendong was brought here by those people.
The thin and slender handsome boy was like a sheep trapped in a wolf's lair, his eyes were full of anxiety.
Amidst the loud music, there were constant people walking back and forth with wine, and even men and women who were kissing and hugging in public, wearing scantily clad clothes, and even an indescribable voice sounded from a dark corner.
People with gorgeous clothes and outstanding temperament outside, are not as good as the people in ordinary bars here, like crazy beasts deep in lust, doing many unimaginable depraved deeds.
Lu Rendong saw a bizarre scene in front of him. The dizziness made his stomach churn continuously, and the smell of alcohol and pungent smoke stimulated his sensory nerves, making him want to vomit.
want to escape from here.
Once this idea arises, it starts to circulate in the mind uncontrollably.
The pace slowed, but a hand behind him pushed him.
After seeing the closed box door, Lu Rendong stopped.
Before these three or four people could react, he ran away with tears in his eyes, but he was so scared that he didn't even dare to cry.
leave here!
This idea became more and more intense, but a sophomore in high school, his physique was not very good, and he was even worse than those tall men who fought and escaped. Lu Rendong was quickly caught.
And his escape also attracted some attention. When he saw someone looking at him, he didn't recognize him, and he couldn't even see the other person's face clearly. He only choked up and said, "Please, help me."
The man with his arms around the beautiful woman showed surprise, but after looking at the man who grabbed Lu Rendong, he still didn't say anything, he just came in here to have a good time, and in terms of power, he really didn't have much.
His eyes were blurred by tears, and the man who grabbed him was cursing.
"Damn it, if you dare to run away in front of me, if it weren't for you, it would still be useful, hey."
He didn't say anything later, he just watched Lu Rendong look him up and down, his eyes full of dirty and ugly desires.
This made Lu Rendong even more frightened, he flinched, tears streaming down his face, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Maybe it was because of seeing this cowardly demi-human trembling in fear, the man who grabbed him only pinched his back collar, snorted from his nose, full of disdain, and wanted to drag Lu Rendong to the place just now Walk.
If he really entered that door, what was waiting for him would definitely be hell.
All the people in front of him seemed to have turned into evil spirits in human skin, which made him feel dizzy. Those love affairs that should have been secret were magnified to almost all in front of his eyes. The dirty and ugly eyes just now, Let Lu Rendong understand the "end" he will have.
The sudden struggle made Lu Rendong forcefully break free from the man's control again, he ran towards the exit, his face was full of tears, he absolutely couldn't stay here.
And in a bar where people were coming and going, he suddenly bumped into someone.
The forward steps were forced to stop, and the curses and roars of the people chasing behind sounded in the bar.
"Son of a son of a bitch! If you run away again, I'll see if I don't kill you today!"
The sound of insults getting closer made Lu Rendong want to run away again, he didn't have time to apologize to the person he bumped into, so he wanted to run out.
"and many more."
A lazy and low-pitched magnetic sound sounded, and an arm was blocked in front of him, while the men behind him had already arrived.
When the hair was grabbed and pulled back, Lu Rendong was forced to raise his face, his hair hurt from being pulled, but he still saw that young, handsome and indifferent man in a haze of tears.
And it was also like this, allowing that tall and indifferent young man to see Lu Rendong's face.
He seemed a little dazed, but when Lu Rendong was dragged forward by his hair, no one around him thought that he would do it.
Amidst the exclamation, Lu Rendong seemed to be unable to hear it. He only saw that too young and handsome man knocking those who caught him to the ground. His strike was quick and ruthless enough. The tricks are to greet the key.
But when Lu Rendong thought those people would fight back, after seeing the young man's face clearly, they didn't dare to fight back at all.
He was saved.
This recognition made Lu Rendong, who was stunned there, look at the man who ended the battle.
-
As the elevator was going down, a large paragraph of clear words suddenly appeared in Shen Ruo's mind, just like when Colin Cedric appeared on the starship back then.
This is the scene when the protagonist Lu Rendong meets Chu Xiao, and it happened in Xiyao's bar.
Shen Ruo suddenly figured out why the system asked him to come here, and if Chu Xiao didn't come, would Lu Rendong really be sold.
The other party is just a beautiful little Asian in the second year of high school, who was tricked into coming here.
Before this, Shen Ruo, who had always chosen to avoid the contents of the book, had no feeling for the protagonist and those supporting characters at all. To him, those people were just a name in the book, like a symbol , the image is vague and empty.
The words that appeared just now made him feel a little unbearable and soft-hearted. If he really met that little Asian man in Xiyao, not to mention the future and those in the book, he could save a poor Asian man who was about to be sold , It’s also very good, at least he doesn’t have to really face those.
And Shen Ruo can conclude that the person who saved Lu Rendong in the book is Chu Xiao.
The elevator arrived soon, and Shen Ruo didn't have time to say anything to Chu Xiao, so he took his hand and walked forward until he actually entered the bar named "Xi Yao".
There was a lot of people, the music was loud, and there were women and demihumans who were wearing little clothes being hugged by men, and some suspicious noises were made from time to time in the corner.
He stopped in his tracks and looked at Chu Xiao who was beside him, his ears began to burn because of these overly revealing desires.
It was the first time to bring Shen Ruo here, and it was so sudden, and what happened on the way made him forget to notify here in advance, Chu Xiao was secretly annoyed, but it was hard to say anything at this time.
"Tonight is the once-in-three-month relaxation day, so they just..."
Chu Xiao was giving a feeble explanation, although it was true, if it wasn't for this, these people wouldn't be playing so crazy, and the so-called "relaxation" days are actually more suitable to be replaced by "carnival". carnival.
Shen Ruo glanced at the system light screen, the 46-minute countdown is still 42 minutes away, and he doesn't know where Lu Rendong is now, if he hasn't come yet.
Gathering up his courage, Shen Ruo looked at the crowd again. He heard Chu Xiao's words, but pretended not to hear them, because this topic is really not easy to discuss.
After Chu Xiao appeared, many people around him noticed him, and they also saw Shen Ruo beside him.
Shen Ruo was looking for Lu Rendong's whereabouts, but he didn't seem to dare to go into the crowd to search, so he just stood there and looked for it with his eyes.
In a place Shen Ruo couldn't see, Chu Xiao next to him turned cold, his brows were completely indifferent, and he exchanged glances with a few people who were ready to come and talk to him, but the other party stopped because of the coldness and warning in his eyes step.
He waved to the side, and someone came towards him. Although he didn't know what Shen Ruo was looking for, Chu Xiao still planned to let someone clean up the place.
"Go in and have a look." Shen Ruo turned to talk to Chu Xiao, he tightly held that big warm and dry hand, as if this would reduce his fear of this place.
"it is good."
Chu Xiao replied swiftly, but after the people in the bar came over, he whispered a few words to them, and then led Shen Ruo into the crowd.
"Master Chu."
Someone said hello to Chu Xiao, and looked at Shen Ruo after speaking. There was obvious interest in his eyes. Many people were surprised that Chu Xiao hadn't been here for several months, but for Shen Ruo, Someone had noticed it before, but they didn't expect Shen Ruo to be able to follow Chu Xiao for so long.
Especially after seeing Chu Xiao holding that demihuman's hand tightly, people want to know what happened between Shen Ruo and Chu Xiao. They were never led away by Chu Xiao so actively.
And Chu Xiao was disgusted by the people around him looking at Shen Ruo, he looked straight back, his eyes were full of coldness, and he brought Shen Ruo to his side, that protective gesture was too obvious.
The person who met his gaze avoided him, and did not look at Shen Ruo again, feeling uneasy in his heart.
It was also at this time that Shen Ruo heard a few angry curses, and the crowd in front exclaimed, and then, a thin figure appeared in front of him.
The lights in the bar were flickering with the music, the light was not very bright, but even so, he could still see the beautiful little Asian clearly.
Shen Ruo reacted quickly, he immediately confirmed that the other party was Lu Rendong, the protagonist in the book.
Unaware of the eye contact between Chu Xiao and the people around him, Shen Ruo was a little anxious. He knew that Chu Xiao was about to appear at this time and was bumped into by Lu Rendong.
But I don't know if it's because of the location, Chu Xiao in the book is alone, but now, Shen Ruo is standing where Lu Rendong must pass.
And when he was about to be hit, Shen Ruo was ready to catch him, but Chu Xiao, who reacted quickly, pulled him over to avoid the impact.
Shen Ruo watched helplessly as Lu Rendong passed him and Chu Xiao.
