While Zhong Youde was talking, Zhong Cheng calmly picked up some garlic-chopped vegetables and chewed them in small bites.
The food on the table was almost gone, and the various aromas mixed together. The two old people had smiles on their faces, thinking it was just something funny.
Yin Ren almost choked on the beer in his mouth, but he forced himself not to cough.
"Have you made a wish?" He pretended nothing had happened and continued with a smile.
"How could that be possible? We are both grown-ups, how could we mess around with kids?"
Cheng Xuehua's face wrinkles gathered when she smiled. She had her hair cut short and dyed black, looking younger than her actual age.
"I must have told him that this is for the little birthday boy to make a wish, and we two won't join in the fun."
Zhong Cheng said nothing and continued chewing vegetables as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Really not?" Yin Ren had a vague guess in his heart.
Seeing that Yin Ren's attention was strange, the two elders looked at each other.
Cheng Xuehua's unhappiness suddenly disappeared: "That's great!"
And all this happened just because his "sister" whom he had never met disappeared during the God's Descent.
"Yes."
Yin Ren changed the subject at the right time: "Uncle and aunt, can we stay here tonight? We are almost done eating, let's go and clean up the guest room first. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, let's stay a little longer."
"I, ahem, I said, 'Mom and Dad hope to find my sister soon.' My son was so young at the time and had never heard of the case, so I just mentioned it and didn't say much."
The guest room in the second elder's house was not big, with only a bed and a wardrobe, and the bedside cabinet was huddled in a small gap. When Yin Ren closed the door, the space seemed even more cramped.
Cheng Xuehua opened her mouth and finally sighed: "You..."
Zhong Cheng said as he sat on the bed with his hands on his knees. He looked at Yin Ren innocently. Now that he was not wearing glasses, the killing power of his innocence was even stronger.
Cheng Xuehua sighed twice and put away the wine bottle: "You don't know your last name after drinking a few mouthfuls of horse urine, so save it."
Comrade Xiao Zhong undoubtedly noticed Yin Ren's gaze. He thought seriously for a moment and pushed the garlic vegetables in front of him towards Yin Ren.
Yin Ren was speechless.
"Zhong Youde!" Cheng Xuehua called out his full name.
Zhong Youde scratched his head and gave Cheng Xuehua a big egg: "Don't be angry."
"What happened then? I answered the phone right after I finished speaking. Old Zhong, you didn't really make a wish, did you?"
"It's nothing." Zhong Youde shrank his neck. "You definitely can't fool a child. Xiao Zhong was very persistent at the time, so I said, Dad will make a wish with you. It wasn't that we couldn't let go of that case at the time..."
“… So you investigated the divine descent because of your sister. And you investigated your sister’s case just because your father made a wish on your birthday?” Yin Ren went straight to the point.
"What wish did uncle make?" Yin Ren glanced at Zhong Cheng and continued with a smile.
"Isn't this a way to get closer to children?" Zhong Youde was a little drunk and shook his head, "Xuehuaer, you were too tough back then, not as careful as me..."
Zhong Cheng said that he started this bizarre investigation in elementary school. On the one hand, he transformed himself into "Yan Wang" and killed evil things to save money, while on the other hand, he studied the huge topic of "God's Descent", which even the Shi'an Group could not handle. He even took the risk of exposing his abnormality and joined Shi'an in order to get more intelligence.
Without any explanation or ambiguity, Zhong Chengshuo answered very straightforwardly, and even made people wonder "Why are you asking such a simple question?"
Zhong Youde was about to answer, but he seemed to remember something, and his expression was gloomy. Seeing his wife's expression, Cheng Xuehua suddenly became more serious: "Old Zhong, what did you say at that time?"
This is already outrageous enough, but it can still be explained by "adopting a son to repay a favor."
It turns out that the reason this person started investigating was just a joking wish from his adoptive father... It was just the price of a cake, and this person's investigation has not stopped to this day.
Sometimes Yin Ren really wasn’t sure whether Zhong Cheng was too smart or was really a bit silly.
When he was the Great Heavenly Master Zhong Yi, he had also heard all kinds of wishes.
Many people like to make wishes when facing someone who is much stronger than themselves. From trivial matters like stealing chickens from neighbors to big matters like destiny and future, Yin Ren has heard countless wishes.
But those are just wishes.
He will help as much as he can, and will tell you if he can't help. There are so few people he can contact. Compared with listening and making wishes from above, Yin Ren believes that his approach is more like "neighbors helping each other." When others give him daily necessities and food, he sells his strength, which is very fair.
This is Yin Ren's perception as a "human" - no matter how much he lives like an evil creature, he is still a child born of humans. His physical condition prevents him from returning to the human world, but Yin Ren always longs for fireworks across the river.
The problem is, Zhong Cheng said he doesn't care about any of this.
So where did Zhong Cheng get the idea of "fulfilling other people's wishes"
Yin Ren stretched out his hands and held the other person's face. Zhong Cheng blinked and raised his head in response.
"Why?"
Yin Ren's voice was a little dry.
Zhong Cheng said that he obviously understood the question. He smiled very slowly, but his black eyes remained dim.
"Because everyone thinks this way," he said, "People offer sacrifices to gods, and gods fulfill people's wishes."
Yin Ren's palm was as cold as ice: "You said before that you don't know what you are."
"Yes, I don't know." Zhong Cheng said, tilting his head slightly and leaning on Yin Ren's palm, "But this 'concept' has been recognized by others. So even if I really become a human, I have to fulfill the agreement."
Someone has admitted it.
That is to say, before Zhong Cheng was in elementary school, someone had acknowledged it.
"How long ago?" Yin Ren swallowed subconsciously.
"I don't know. Actually, I am also very interested in myself." Zhong Cheng said with a little hope in his eyes. "Now we can study each other as much as we want, Yin Ren."
Yin Ren: “…”
Just when he thought the moths had finally stopped appearing, Zhong Cheng said he could always wholesale another truck for him. Perhaps Yin Ren's expression was too serious, Zhong Cheng's expectation turned into helplessness, and then into a slight nervousness. He stared at Yin Ren's face without blinking.
"I have confirmed that, apart from being exceptionally healthy and physically fit, I am no different from an ordinary person."
Zhong Cheng added very sincerely.
"There is nothing special about me, and I bleed when I am wounded. I have always suspected that if I were to receive a fatal wound on a human level, I would die."
Holding the other's face with both hands, Yin Ren leaned down. His smooth black hair slid down Zhong Chengshuo's shirt, swaying gently.
It was a kiss.
"I understand." Yin Ren said sadly, "The secret of the degree of marriage you mentioned is the secret that premarital examinations are difficult to conduct."
His own situation was already vague enough, and with the even more unpredictable Zhong Cheng's words added in, Yin Ren was having a headache for this group of people.
Zhong Cheng stretched out his hand hesitantly, then held his breath and hugged Yin Ren's waist.
He rested his forehead on Yin Ren's chest, and his body relaxed visibly.
"It seems that this time, Shi'an has to go back."
Yin Ren touched the back of Zhong Chengshuo's neck, and his soft hair passed through his fingers.
The current level of the problem is really not something that they can solve alone. Compared to the endless unknowns ahead, the ordinary card of "Grand Master Zhong Yi" should be played.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Yin and Xiao Zhong, do you want some fruit?" Zhong Youde called out cautiously from outside the door. "Dad just peeled the pomegranate. The seeds are soft."
"Right here!"
Yin Ren responded loudly, and when he turned around, he saw Zhong Cheng had already run to the closet to pick up his nightcap.
Lord Ghost King couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Forget it, the God's arrival was exposed, the sniper's true identity was revealed, and many clues pointed to the other side - they have already grasped a corner of the truth.
Zhong Cheng said it was still Zhong Cheng who said that life had to go on.
The origin of the gods and the evil spirits, the truth of the other side, and his mysterious lover. Let them solve these mysteries one by one.
When he woke up again, Huang Jin saw the pale ceiling of the hospital.
His whole body felt like it was run over by a truck, and every time he moved, his joints would crack. Huang Jin raised his head nervously—luckily, his limbs were still there, and had not become deformed or disabled.
Huang Jin lay back heavily on the pillow.
This is a single room. In his field of vision, there are jars of light-colored drops. His palms, which were cut open during the fight, are wrapped in thick gauze, which is painful and itchy. However, based on Comrade Huang Jin's experience of being injured, this is the result of a double treatment of science and metaphysics.
They were exposed to high concentrations of evil power at close range, and it was estimated that the Black Seals of Shi An had already exhausted all their efforts just to deal with the pollution. If left alone, his wound would not only not heal, but it was also possible that it would be twisted into a mouth.
Huang Jin grinned in self-mockery, struggling to recall his recent memories—
He remembered that Fu Xingchuan repeatedly used sealing magic to protect the wall, and he soon ran out of space to apply his own Qingxin Mantra. He didn't know what happened outside, and the wall they were on was shaking.
Although the corpse was soft, it was still very dangerous. Lu Xiaohe was quick-witted. She asked everyone to take off their coats, and then she tore them into strips and tied them together.
No one cared about gender differences, and everyone huddled together tightly. Huang Jin quickly lost consciousness in his dizzy flesh.
Now that he's awake, the others probably aren't in any serious trouble either.
Huang Jin breathed a sigh of relief instinctively, but then felt uncomfortable with the tone.
He savored the few seconds of the murderous force bursting out, the miraculous coordination of the crowd. If he were alone in that situation, he would have been gone long ago.
It's a refreshing feeling to have someone to rely on.
Huang Jin struggled to twist and finally managed to sit up at the head of the bed. It was already bright outside the window, and the leaves were dyed golden red by the autumn.
Maybe he shouldn't be so resistant to Zhi'an... Even if it's a bit too much sometimes, it's already the most reliable organization for metaphysical people. Maybe if he accepts this job and puts his mind right, his life will be more comfortable.
After this incident, it was clear that his mind-clearing spell was very effective. Should he be able to use this to ask for a raise
Lu Xiaohe and Ge Tingting are also good partners. They have a life-and-death friendship, so it will be easy for them to get along with each other in the future.
And... and King Yan has passed away, and according to Fu Xingchuan, the evil creature Yin Ren has also "died". Although it is sad, without these two big mountains, their missions will definitely be much more normal in the future.
Next, even if the sky falls, it will have nothing to do with their small Class C investigation team.
Starting today, embrace life with optimism, and a peaceful life is just ahead!
The infusion lasted too long, and his bladder couldn't bear it. Huang Jin took a few deep breaths and decided to solve it on his own. He reluctantly got off the ground, leaned on the infusion pole, and planned to go to the toilet.
This is Shian's special park, with birds singing and flowers blooming outside the window. Huang Jin holds the IV pole and basks in the sunshine in the corridor. The temperature is just right, and the air is full of the smell of relief.
I heard footsteps behind me, and they sounded like those of a man.
Maybe he was a hospital staff member. Huang Jin did not look back and continued to feel the first ray of sunshine in his new life.
"Huang Jin, I'm glad you're okay."
A familiar voice sounded from behind. The voice was soft and pleasant, and I could recognize it even though it turned gray.
Yin blade.
Comrade Huang Jin's face turned pale. The warm sunshine just now turned into ice and snow. His whole body was frozen stiff and he couldn't move at all.
Although it is a bit immoral to say this, Fu Xingchuan said it himself that Yin Ren is dead! Can an evil creature become an evil creature again after it dies once? What exactly is Yin Ren, an evil creature nesting doll
Screw the master’s consciousness, the world is still destroyed!
