Yin Ren didn't think too much for a moment.
Two thoughts flashed through his mind at the same time. The first was that the cooked devil was about to fly away; the second was that he still owed Zhong Cheng a favor of a cream cake.
It took Yin Ren less than half a second to spin around and chop at the fierce ghost. He attached a bit of fierce power to his nails. With a strange cry, like a hot knife cutting lard, a huge wound was cut on the fierce ghost's body.
It was nearly cut in two.
Yin Ren did not stop. He took advantage of the situation and turned to Zhong Cheng, turning his knife hand into a grasping gesture and pulling the man towards himself.
The force of his pull was so strong that Zhong Cheng lost his balance and crashed into Yin Ren's arm. But Zhong Cheng had noticed something was wrong and was about to turn his body -
The two of them immediately performed the classic tango bending posture. Yin Ren's black hair fell down and brushed against Zhong Chengshuo's neck.
Zhong Cheng, who is in charge of the “Female Steps and Waist Bending”, said: “…”
Lin Bei: “…”
Before they came, Fang Yuanyuan repeatedly warned them not to act without permission. Zhong Cheng said he had a harmless face, but who would have thought that he would be the first to break the rules.
The knife-wielding man plunged into the most complicated alley. There were stones everywhere under his feet, and dogs barked all around him, completely covering his tracks. After running for five or six minutes in the ant-hole-like passage, the knife-wielding man leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
Yin Ren wanted to follow them, but the two of them ran away so quickly that he could not see their shadows. He did not want to abandon Lin Bei, so he had to go back to the girl to take care of her.
However, Yin Ren didn't know that the man with the knife was on the verge of collapse.
Lin Bei was already extremely weak from the evil spirit. She stood there in a daze, unable to even scream.
He was already in a trance, relying on his anger to hold on. Seeing that his attempt to injure someone failed, the knife-wielding man's first reaction was to run away, but he didn't expect that the bespectacled boy would dare to chase him with his bare hands.
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Seeing that the injured were finally taken care of, Yin Ren rushed forward and abandoned the confused Liang Shan on the spot.
However, Yin Ren finally moved, and the weak ghost immediately dispersed and fled. On the other side, the knife-wielding man reacted and stumbled towards Lin Bei.
Zhong Cheng said his reaction was shockingly fast. He leaned over and threw the phone in his hand, which hit the man's back of the head. Then he rushed forward, wrapped his arm around the man's throat, and used his other hand to grab the man's knife-holding hand.
More back doors were opened, and many shop owners poked their heads in to check the situation.
Not only did I lose my partner, I also lost my sales. It’s over.
Although this man was a bit skinny, he was half a head taller than Zhong Chengshuo, which gave him a physical advantage. While Zhong Chengshuo was in pain, he rolled and crawled into a back door.
What's the point of a living person chasing a living person? He actually dared to hurt his partner and destroy his job. Today, he wants that knife-wielding man to know what it means to be targeted by a ghost.
Blood splattered.
Even the man holding the knife was stunned for two seconds.
At the same time, Yin Ren skillfully activated the emergency alarm on his cell phone, and the sharp alarm sounded throughout the alley.
Everything happened so fast that even though Liang Shan arrived at the scene quickly, Zhong Cheng said that he had completely disappeared.
Zhong Cheng ignored his bleeding right arm and chased after him.
The alley was adjacent to the old city, and the alleys were intricate and complicated. It was the retreat he had chosen for himself in advance.
"I'll let you two out for a while. What's going on?!" Liang Shan carried the semi-conscious Lin Bei on his back. "Why is the evil spirit so strong? What's going on with the blood?"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the man with the knife screamed wildly. He struggled madly, and the sharp knife stabbed diagonally into Zhong Chengshuo's forearm.
It must have been thrown away.
However, just as he was about to sit down and rest, a slight sound came from the nearest corner.
Ta-da-da, ta-da-da, the sound of rapid and steady footsteps.
How is it possible? The knife-wielding man's scalp tingled, he stood up with trembling legs, gritted his teeth and continued to flee. This time, he used all his strength to climb over the wall and crawl through the dog hole, squeezing into the gaps in the city with mud all over his body.
You finally got rid of it this time, right
Just as he was catching his breath, he heard the curse-like footsteps again from not far away.
Tick, tick, tick. The man's rhythm was exactly the same as before.
The hand holding the knife kept shaking. He was supposed to be a hunter, but now he had an inexplicable fear of being hunted.
He had clearly observed for a long time - Lin Bei had been talking to the police a few days ago, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Today, the two men were playing pretty boys, and she should have been talking about the short video business.
Are all the male anchors nowadays so cruel
Anger and fear pressed down at the same time, and the blood color in the eyes of the knife-wielding man became darker and darker. He roared, took out the knife, and rushed towards the footsteps.
The next moment, the knife-wielding man's face hit the ground. It was a few seconds later that the pain stabbed into his brain.
His hands were tied behind his back, and his body was pinned down by the man's knees. The knife had already flown away. It was a standard police arrest method. This time, he didn't even see how the other party made the move.
Damn male anchor, there is nothing right about this guy!
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Glancing at those deep eyes, the knife-wielding man changed his tone.
"..." Zhong Cheng was silent for a few seconds, his tone a little confused, "Do you know that you have broken the law?"
Knife-wielding man: “…”
Zhong Cheng said: "I have the right to send it."
Okay, I get it, don't say any more. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and the knife-wielding man didn't know what to say for a moment, and he wanted to spit out blood.
Just as Zhong Cheng was thinking about how to tie up the man, another figure shot into the alley.
"Give me... Hey, Brother Zhong, you're here." Yin Ren suddenly stopped in front of the two people.
Zhong Cheng looked over suspiciously and said, "You sound disappointed?" "How could that be!"
Yin Ren smiled and grabbed the knife-wielding man's head, then slammed it against the wall. His force was just right, and the knife-wielding man fainted instantly.
“Now I’m just a little disappointed.”
After brushing off the dust on his hands, Yin Ren stepped forward and carefully examined the wound that Zhong Cheng mentioned: "It's okay, pretty shallow."
"I know."
"I helped you dodge a knife, so I'll give you a cake as a favor." Yin Ren said tangledly. He originally wanted to make a chocolate muffin every minute. But now it seems that maybe it's okay not to make a chocolate muffin every minute
"Actually, I found him just now." Zhong Cheng wiped the blood off his glasses and said with an unusually sincere tone, "If you hadn't pulled me that time, I could have subdued him on the spot."
Oh, that is to say, no matter what Zhong Cheng said just now, he can catch the powerful ghost, and Zhong Cheng said that he can also catch the knife-wielding man without any harm.
Why would you say such a sad thing
Yin Ren: “…”
Yin Ren: "Brother Zhong, has anyone ever said that you have a very..."
"I'm not sociable. Many people have said that." Zhong Cheng put his glasses back on with a calm expression. "Fortunately, I don't have the need to fit in for the time being."
Is this the point? Yin Ren didn't know whether he felt dizzy because he had used his evil power or because his partner was too eccentric... maybe both.
It seems that chocolate muffins have to be given away after all, he thought sadly.
Two hours later, at the hotel.
"What are you doing!" Liang Shan roared, "You all know to call me, why not the police? The other party has a knife, what are you two doing rushing in! Come, it seems I have to talk about the rules-"
Liang Shan scratched his crew cut, veins popping out from his temples. He paced back and forth in the room angrily, stomping the floor.
The wound that Zhong Cheng mentioned had been cleaned. He sat obediently beside his bed, his arm wrapped in a bandage, his eyes looking at the ground, and he had returned to his harmless appearance.
"Oh, that hurts." he said aloud.
Unfortunately, Zhong Cheng said that the gay's acting skills were not up to standard, and his tone lacked intonation, which made Liang Shan laugh: "You don't want to be scolded, right? Don't use this to make trouble for me. Zhong Cheng said, you-"
"I feel a little dizzy." Yin Ren quickly interrupted Liang Shan's accumulation of strength and rescued his partner.
His tone was much more sincere than Zhong Cheng's.
After all, this is the truth. When he beat the fierce ghost just now, Yin Ren knew that there were no practitioners around, so he tried to use the fierce power. As a result, he did not practice well, and he only used a little bit, and the dizziness could not be dispelled.
The world in his eyes seemed like butter melting, with its outlines distorted. At this moment, he didn't want to listen to anyone's nagging.
Liang Shan stared at the two of them in frustration.
"The man you caught has just been interrogated. He is Lin Bei's ex-boyfriend who is in the same industry as her, and he wanted to take revenge on Lin Bei." He changed the subject.
Yin Ren pricked up his ears: "Why revenge?"
"Are you not dizzy anymore?"
“I am willing to work even though I am sick.”
Liang Shan gritted his teeth: "… It's not something earth-shattering. The man cheated on her before, and Lin Bei dumped him. He was recently unemployed and stopped paying his bills. He believes that Lin Bei said bad things about him in the industry, which caused him to lose his job."
"That guy claimed that he had auditory hallucinations recently and that a voice had been tempting him, so he took action. Now he is crying in the police station - I guess this guy wants to pretend that he is mentally ill to reduce his responsibility."
Zhong Cheng raised his head slowly and said, "An excuse. If that voice tempted him to donate all his property, he would just go directly to the psychiatric department for treatment."
"You don't feel any pain anymore?"
“I am willing to work with injuries.”
You two clearly just want to hear gossip. Liang Shan cracked his knuckles, but he just wouldn't say anything.
"As for Lin Bei, Shi An has sent someone to follow up." Liang Shan glanced at Yin Ren and said something with a hint of meaning, "Shi An will give her some support, and she won't encounter the same danger as before."
Yin Ren naturally understood. There were special practitioners who had exorcised evil spirits for Lin Bei and gave her a magical weapon to defend against powerful ghosts. If he guessed correctly, that powerful ghost would also be dealt with by an experienced practitioner.
His performance...
"There's one more thing." Seeing Yin Ren's depressed face, Liang Shan raised her voice deliberately, "Lin Bei is stable now, and she wants to talk to you again. I've made an appointment for you in the evening, so you can get some rest first."
Lin Bei chose the most famous Western restaurant in Haigu City.
Soft music rolled through the air. The price and number of seats were there, so there weren't many people in the restaurant. Lin Bei chose a seat in the corner by the window, which was very quiet and had a good view.
As night falls, everything outside the window is immersed in the indigo night breeze. The hustle and bustle of traffic turns into light strips, leaving a few tiny reflections on the glass.
Unlike in the morning, Lin Bei did not wear heavy makeup. This time, her clothes were more casual, and the jade Buddha on her neck was replaced with a pearl pendant. Without the evil spirits all over her body, Lin Bei's complexion was visibly better.
This time it was her turn to wait for Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng to talk.
Hearing that the occasion was quite formal, Yin Ren tied up his hair specially. Zhong Cheng also changed into a clean and crisp shirt, and the bandage made his sleeves bulge slightly.
"I'm so sorry I took advantage of you."
Lin Bei looked serious and went straight to the point.
The author has something to say:
It's so miserable for Xiao Yin. He didn't get to eat, didn't get any achievements, and still couldn't repay the favor.
