King of Black Mist

"Um, Sister Yao, didn't you say I'd meet you in the past next time?" Li Qianxia looked at the Yaochi in front of her.

Yaochi was not embarrassed at all and stood up on the opposite side: "I forgot that the starting point was your yard."

She looked around the yard, then looked up at the apricot trees that looked like umbrellas.

It's November, and the almond trees are gradually turning golden yellow.

Under such an apricot tree, her white hair was gently blown by the wind, which reminded people of scenes in martial arts movies when she was a child.

"It's a pretty nice place. I want to buy a courtyard here too?" Yaochi looked back and said to the three of them.

"The courtyard here is quite expensive." Li Qianxia wrinkled her cute little nose.

Yaochi smiled.

Li Qianxia knew that smile very well. Whenever she and her brother watched TV series and she said that this actor is more handsome than you, he would show this smile.

Damn rich people and handsome guys!

The handsome guy here refers to a brother who is too handsome.

"Okay!" Since Yaochi has money, Li Qianxia doesn't hesitate anymore, "I'll take you shopping then!"

"Well, I'll come over and stay for two days when I have time, and I'll go to the ship with you guys."

"Are you still going? I'm not going, I'm not going!" Li Qianxia shook her head again.

"After participating in the ship game for the first time, I had the same idea as you, but half a month later, I went in with you again - do you plan to enter the next stage with a B-level or A-level concept? "

Li Qianxia looked at her brother and Yang Qinglan. She didn't care about anything, she only obeyed the arrangements and was very obedient (Li Changzhou thought she was just lying down and enjoying herself).

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan had to admit that Yaochi's words made sense.

Just like the 'strength', 'physique', 'agility', and 'perception' in the first stage, no matter what, you have to be 'full' before you can break through the limit.

Going further, their behavior of taking buses continuously at the beginning, entering the dungeon, and seizing the "market" is essentially the same as having to learn advanced concepts - to gain an early advantage.

"I will improve my strength in the subway for the time being." Yang Qinglan answered Yaochi's words, but her eyes were looking at Li Changzhou's confirmation.

"Okay." Li Changzhou nodded.

With three permissions to use the imperial mecha, basic safety can be guaranteed at least in the subway where the difficulty of the game is matched according to strength.

Li Qianxia punched her left palm with her right fist: "In the words of the game, it means developing first, adding troops to eat wild monsters, and improving the level and equipment!"

No one needed her superfluous explanation.

"Okay, let's leave our contact information."

After Yaochi left, the three of them finally relaxed completely.

Li Changzhou took out the "Snow Mountain Kettle". Before he could pour water for himself, Yang Qinglan pointed to the cup in front of him with her white fingers.

"..." Li Changzhou poured water for her.

Li Qianxia took out her mobile phone and checked the recent news and news - in fact, it only took one night to find out anything.

"murderer?"

Yang Qinglan looked at her, and the water poured into the cup, making a gurgling sound.

"The player who Zheng Qing dragged us into said in the WeChat group that a murderer appeared in Mingcheng recently."

Li Qianxia explained, sliding her hand down to check the previous chat history.

After all, it only happened one night, and she quickly read all the news.

"The suspect is a girl who came from other places to work. She killed her fellow villager, robbed her of her money, and killed her boyfriend... The photo is so disgusting, why is this kind of thing posted in the group!"

"A player?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"Well, Zheng Qing also asked everyone to tell the special battle situation if they see it." Li Qianxia said, suddenly putting the photo into Li Changzhou's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Li Changzhou was not frightened by the photo, but by her actions.

"You can't make me sick alone! Qinglan, don't hide either!"

"I drink water." Yang Qinglan picked up the cup.

"It's not eating, what's wrong with looking at disgusting pictures! It's not like a child anymore, what's wrong with taking a look! Quick!" Li Qianxia pressed Yang Qinglan's hand holding the cup, and put the phone on her face like a stamp.

"No." Yang Qinglan turned away.

"If you don't want it, just want it!"

"Don't make trouble!"

"Who made trouble with you? I'm serious!"

Listening to the voices of the two people, Li Changzhou lay on the rocking chair and looked at the apricot trees above his head and the autumn sky between the leaves of the apricot trees.

Whether it's taking the subway back to the past or taking a ship to another world, how to meet Yang Qinglan is always a problem.

We cannot ignore this crucial matter just because we were lucky enough to meet in 1928.

Is there any way...what skills...

Li Changzhou kept thinking.

After thinking for a while, he thought of asking Master Huang to borrow "Thunder Picture" so that he could continue to practice this method of contemplation. At the same time, he could ask them how the senior group gathered in the past.

Boom!

The sound of footsteps hitting the ground.

The three of them turned around and saw a girl wearing a white shirt and overalls.

He is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his figure is not only slender, but also so thin that it destroys the beauty of the human body. He is about 1.6 meters tall, and he is pretty good-looking.

The girl who jumped from the roof, the man who sat under the almond tree, and the two beautiful girls who were intertwined looked at each other.

Li Qianxia's eyes widened and she secretly poked Yang Qinglan's thin waist.

Yang Qinglan glanced at the picture in her hand. The murderer was exactly the same as the girl in front of her.

She winked at Li Changzhou, meaning - I'll give it back to you.

The way he was giving orders as a matter of course made Li Changzhou suddenly remember that Yang Qinglan was the captain of their team.

It may also be that there is no need to be polite between old couples...

"A thief?" Li Changzhou was in a good mood and decided to let the man in front of him go.

In fact, I have no interest in it, and I don't want a battle between players to occur nearby.

Leaving aside the rented house, if the books in Yang Qinglan's bookstore were damaged, she would probably be unhappy.

Well——, speaking of which, I have never seen Yang Qinglan unhappy, maybe it would be good to see it?

"..." The girl didn't speak, seeming to be hesitating about something.

"As for money -" Li Changzhou pretended to dig in his pocket twice and took out Yang Qinglan's five hundred yuan from "Honeypot World".

Putting the money on the table, he said, "I won't tell anyone you came, and I won't call the police."

The girl glanced at Qian, then at Li Changzhou, and by the way glanced at the two beautiful girls who formed the lily.

The money flew into her hand.

"What is this?" Li Changzhou asked in surprise.

"Wow!" Li Qianxia cooperated with her brother in acting.

It's not as good as the acting skills of a child who has spicy oil on his lips but says he doesn't eat spicy strips. Yang Qinglan commented in her heart and guessed at the same time, what kind of skill is this? Or is it instinct?

The girl grabbed the money, jumped onto the roof, and cautiously peeked around, seemingly looking for a chance to leave.

He didn't seem to be a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately. No, maybe he didn't want to leave clues to the special operations bureau.

The girl's thin body squatted there like a cat.

"There are people here until 10pm." Li Qianxia reminded kindly.

After a pause, she asked: "Do you need help?"

The girl looked back at her and continued to stare outside, looking for a chance to leave.

"You can tell me your story. If I think you are a good person, I can help you. Well, let my brother help you too."

After about a minute of silence, the girl finally spoke.

"How can I help?" Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.

"It's probably not possible at home. No matter what the reason is, it's not a reason to kill. I can ask my brother to send you abroad and let someone take care of you."

"...You are also players? Are you kidding me by giving me money?" The girl's eyes became fierce.

"I just don't want to cause trouble, but I don't think you are a particularly bad person." Li Changzhou said, and then the topic changed, "How have you considered my sister's proposal?"

The girl stared at them, lost in thought. After a while, she said: "I was cheated."

"Yes." Li Changzhou poured himself a glass of water.

"My family is poor, and my sister who I grew up with in the village came out to work. She stole the money I had saved so hard, and her boyfriend came to look for her at night. The two of them...raped me together, made a video, and threatened me. All wages go to them.”

"Ah!" Li Qianxia couldn't help but exclaimed.

Li Changzhou stopped drinking water.

"Later," the girl continued, "I was selected by the value game and gained strength——"

"So you killed both of them?" Li Qianxia asked hurriedly.

The girl said nothing, just nodded.

"It's an advantage for them." Li Changzhou put down his cup, "Do you want to go to Italy? Or do you want to go somewhere and start a new life by yourself?"

"...I don't know where to go."

"Then go to Italy. I know people there and don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. But if you want to live a better life, you have to work hard, how about that?"

The girl was silent again.

When she told her own experience, she just felt wronged and wanted to express her inner frustration. This did not mean that she believed Li Changzhou and the others.

Li Qianxia jumped directly onto the roof.

Before the girl could react, he sat next to her and hugged her without disliking her at all.

"It's fine!"

The girl was startled and subconsciously wanted to fight back, but when she saw Li Qianxia's sincerely sad eyes, her tense body relaxed unconsciously.

"My name is Li Qianxia, ​​what's yours?"

"..."

Li Qianxia pursed her lips, feeling even more pity for this girl's plight.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you."

In the yard, Yang Qinglan handed his mobile phone to Li Changzhou. Li Changzhou looked at it and saw that it was a chat record with Zheng Qing, which contained intelligence about this girl from the Special War Bureau.

Her name is Liu Qian, and the reason for the murder is exactly what she said.

"Can you help her...what are you doing?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"It's nothing." Li Changzhou just checked Yang Qinglan's WeChat chat history, it was no big deal.

He handed the phone back to her.

Yang Qinglan turned off the screen of her phone, then turned it on again, and waved it in front of Li Changzhou's face.

It was a group photo of three people. Li Qianxia took a selfie, so the two people walking behind looked like a couple.

Li Changzhou poured water for Yang Qinglan.

Yang Qinglan looked at the water splashing into the cup for a second, then looked up at Li Qianxia and Liu Qian who were whispering on the roof.

"Ordinary people will be bullied, players will be wanted for revenge, your identity will be exposed, and you will be in endless danger..."

She turned to look at Li Changzhou: "We still have to go to the ship."
