After reporting his guess to Shi'an, Zhong Cheng said he slept in a deep sleep.
He was lying in the corner of the stronghold on the other side, his head resting on Yin Ren's lap, and his fingers were entangled with Yin Ren's long hair. Yin Ren's wounds had generally recovered. He paused the barter transactions with the loners and just looked out the window in a daze.
Outside the stronghold's window, falling snow was appearing. The scenery in the distance was blurry, with only snowflakes hitting the windows from time to time. The screen in the stronghold played the winter scene of the human world, and young Li Nian wearing a scarf appeared from time to time.
It's probably Meng Huai's memories, Yin Ren thought.
The temperature inside the room has dropped, but it's not as stark as the real world.
The breathing Zhong Cheng said was very distinct. He took off his glasses, his body rose and fell slightly, and his body temperature merged with Yin Ren's. This person slept so soundly that Fu Tianyi didn't even dare to make too big a move to chop Yuanwu Xiangzi.
Zhong Chengfeng was not surprised by the intimate behavior between the two - she believed that Yin Ren was "not a human being", so Yin Ren's gender seemed insignificant. What's more, this person's face is really lethal, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the human species.
Since Zhong Chengfeng was his nominal sister, Zhong Cheng said that he once wanted to seriously explain their relationship, but the policewoman just waved her hand.
"What age it is, just don't like Gao Mengyu's cat." Zhong Chengfeng was very cheerful.
Yin Ren hummed and his eyes softened.
Qi Xin shrank her body tightly, wishing that she could bury hundreds more layers of data in her body.
Zhong Cheng said nothing, his brows gradually furrowed.
The aura exuding from Aiyi's body was very close to that of Yin Ren's Baiwang breakout. Aiyi probably realized something was wrong at that time... They are the same kind of thing, which means that Yin Ren may prey on "Satisfaction".
Qi Xin always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't explain it.
"It's been calm outside recently, and more and more lonely people dare to go out for a walk." Yin Ren added, "However, 'Satisfaction' was injured, and it is still moving as usual, but it is recovering very slowly."
She can't arrange anything by herself, and love is about to arrange things for her. The conversation that day was more or less a tactful warning.
Zhong Cheng said he reacted instantly: "She knows who did it... I communicated 'love' with her."
"what's on your mind?"
Yin Ren and Ai Yi are not considered normal entities. Even if Yin Ren loses to Ai Yi, he may not be able to take over Yin Ren's power. And counting on Yin Ren's victory, as Aiyi said, that guy is born in this world... Is he trustworthy
Qi Xin originally thought that he could flip the track switch and let the train of fate crush love to death through Yin Ren, or crush love to death through himself. Now that the situation is completely out of his control, Qi Xin sadly finds that he has become a passerby with a toilet pusher in a human joke.
Qi Xin decided to start praying from now on.
But Qi Xin knew in her heart that her love did not lie.
That guy probably won't kill Satisfaction, but will only make Satisfaction weak and artificially control the "birth rate". Then let humans go crazy to make up for the famine. How about the human world first, and the other side, is this really a solution that everyone is happy with
At that time, "love" will replace "fear" and "satisfaction" and become the true god on the other side. It will take over the next era on the other side with a deep love similar to that of human beings.
Yin Ren kept playing with Zhong Chengshuo's ears, gently kneading the soft earlobes with his fingertips.
However, deep in today's "historical consciousness", it seems that there is no peace.
Nowadays, Qi Xin is one of the only four major emotions left. "Zhong Cheng said it was a smoke bomb, but Yin Ren was the cub." She also knew it well. Right now, Qi Xin is the biggest variable in this battle.
As he spoke, Zhong Cheng casually pinched the end of Yin Ren's hair and made quick calculations in his mind. Yin Ren is currently the most powerful "god", but there is no precedent for this species. He may not be fully mature and will not act rashly. "Love" is a little behind, the transformation is not yet complete.
"It's really strange." Yin Ren continued casually, "'Satisfaction' was obviously hurt. Why didn't Qi Xin, the environmentalist from the other side, jump out to find trouble with me? I thought she would come to the door quickly to warn me - after all, 'Loneliness' is full of It’s okay to crawl on the ground and ask them to send messages.”
No matter what, it’s not too late to think about it later.
The old fear Zhong Cheng said he was immortal and all his abilities were focused on defense. Yin Ren grows up in the dark, love is still incubating itself, and both sides are evenly matched.
Zhong Cheng said he didn't get up immediately.
This unlucky situation, otherwise she would hide until the end—
Yin Ren looked away and lowered his eyes with a slight smile on his face: "I'm wondering why you insist on your love and want to become a 'god'... Did you find something in it?"
Still safe at home, Qi Xin glanced at his surroundings with emotion. This is her last stronghold, and only "satisfaction" can find her. Just protect the main body and cut off contact in time. No matter how many times her clones are destroyed, she still survives.
He silently walked back to Yin Ren, kissed him on the forehead, and then fell asleep for a whole day.
Zhong Cheng said to look at Yin Ren again, but at this moment the other person leaned down and covered Zhong Cheng said's eyes with his palms.
Qi Xin squirmed on the spot and suddenly felt something poking her. The feeling was similar to being lightly rubbed by the tip of a cat's paw, and the force was so small that it could be ignored.
"Its arm feels very similar to your arm." Zhong Cheng said calmly. "Do you still remember that time in the archives?"
Finally feeling relieved, Zhong Cheng opened his eyes.
It's better for her to just be non-violent and non-cooperative. It would be best if your love and Yin Ren die together, and then you go out sweeping the streets and wiping your butt.
Yin Ren was still looking out the window, which was filled with misty white snow. Those white eyes imprinted into Yin Ren's red eyes turned into reflections with panes.
She didn't give Aiyi an answer right away, but as for Aiyi, that smiling fox, even if she joined the gang on the spot, the guy might not believe it.
"Since love strives to transform into A-A0-'god', it needs energy just like me. Now on the entire other side, there is no elemental substance with higher nutritional value than satisfying it."
"We must deal with Qi Xin first," Yin Ren said.
Zhong Cheng said: "..."
"A while ago, we were just rushing to save the briquettes. Do you remember the reaction of 'Satisfaction' going through the white net? It looked painful."
"I agree." Zhong Cheng said, pressing the back of Yin Ren's neck, adjusting his posture slightly, and moved Yin Ren's hand back to his ear.
Yin Ren was still sitting in his original position. But he imagined pillows and quilts, and the two of them snuggled up in the warm quilt, giving it a bit of an indoor camping feel.
But is it really good to let love completely control the other side
Zhong Cheng said and blinked: "Satisfied? You mean..."
As long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood. Ai Yi and Yin Ren will not stop fighting just because they can't find her. Seeing that the more she thought about it, she became more and more negative, and the sad lady almost shrank into a ball of bones.
Illusion.
Qi Xin continued to unite in the most remote corner of the other side, uniting tighter and tighter again.
That poking feeling came back. Qi Xin was so annoyed that she separated into a humanoid clone and patrolled around the main body. After walking a few steps, she discovered the culprit—
Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng stood hand in hand next to her body, like a pair of ghosts urging death.
How can it be? ! This was her second reaction.
Immediately afterwards, the matter of "body exposure" was like a basin of ice water, pouring all over her body. No, she couldn't die. She couldn't accept any mistakes.
Yin Ren is the monster she personally brought to the other side, and his love is beyond her comprehension. Her desire to survive is not that strong, but as the last great element, if she is killed, the other side will completely become a arena for two monsters.
Since you can't decide who to place your chips on, whoever threatens you is your enemy.
Qi Xin didn't talk nonsense. The originally tightly shrunken corpse ball instantly opened and restored its original appearance—
Countless dead bones were intertwined with each other, turning into a huge cage of ribs. It crawled on the ground, like a mutated snake bone. Black-gray mist suddenly rose up around him, and the colorful shore became instantly chaotic.
Completely opposite to the white space of Mr. Aiyi and Mr. Le, Qi Xin’s space is dim black and gray.
Everything turned into a dark cave, and the black mist filled the air, revealing the lithified skeletons on the cave wall. There are stalactite-like things supporting it up and down. Yin Ren took a closer look - where were the stalactites? It was clearly a mixed tower made of the eyeballs of countless creatures.
Tears kept falling from the tip, and thin whines and sobs came from the depths of the cave.
A "sad" space.
Qi Xin's humanoid clone jumped up and stood on the top of the rib cage. In such a weird cave, the snake-like cage of bones slid silently, drilling into different caves as if walking on flat ground.
Yin Ren: "..."
He gently let go of Zhong Cheng's hand, and the latter nodded to him.
The next moment, the dark wings spread out instantly. On the surface of the wings, red gauze floats gracefully and automatically without wind. Zhong Cheng said that he hugged the largest wing mass under the red gauze tightly and carefully fixed himself.
Qi Xin didn't wait for Zhong Cheng to tell him to put on his seat belt. She rushed straight towards Yin Ren, with the determination and viciousness revealed in her hometown.
This time she didn't hold back, all her moves were killer moves.
The stalactites in his eyes were dripping with tears, and those tears were like poison. The moment they touched Yin Ren, his whole body became weak. Giant ribs made of corpse bones grew out of the cave wall, piercing Yin Ren's body like specimen nails, injecting a massive amount of sadness.
Yin Ren accepted the emotion awkwardly.
The flames of Yin Village's demise, the sadness of old acquaintances being buried by time. Floating in the living room was the ghostly girl watching a drama, and her close lover whose chest was bursting with blood.
The wings are like sponges filled with water, and shed many tears every time they move.
But Yin Ren didn't slow down even a minute. He quickly broke and fixed his ribs and swallowed the broken part directly into his belly. The wing ball on the hand has grown quickly, and the surface has a bit of bone luster.
Qi Xin watched his opponent nervously.
After recovering, the sea of wings gathered and dispersed like they were pondering a difficult problem. They crawled around busily, lifting the red gauze up and down, as if they were trying to build something. The most terrifying thing is that the aura of those wings has been suppressed very well, and it is obvious that there is still some power left.
Qi Xin's heart felt cold.
As expected, Yin Ren is still growing. For some unknown reason, he played with himself like a cat playing with a mouse—until now, Yin Ren has not taken the initiative to attack once.
If he was really the "Fear" cub, she at least knew what Yin Ren's upper limit was. Now facing this pile of monsters covered with red gauze, Qi Xin could only feel the real fear that penetrated into his bones.
No matter why the other party didn't take action, she couldn't give up this opportunity.
Qi Xin concentrated his mind, and this time even the entire cave started to squirm. The eye stalagmites were like crooked animal teeth, biting the black mass into several large pieces in an instant. The wings shivered in pain, but they did not give up the crawling and stacking project, and insisted on gathering in one direction.
Never let these things come together!
Qi Xin gritted his teeth, and then, like a fence, his ribs cut across the scattered wings over and over again. Qi Xin tried to swallow some Yin Blade, but it turned out that the thing was no better than the flesh and blood processed by Old Fear. They were too fresh, and the strong energy almost burned her body.
Despite this, Qi Xin still endured the pain and bit, trying hard to split the wings farther and farther apart.
Who would have thought that those wings would be disconnected? They pulled strings as thick as petroleum and dripped down the rock wall of corpses like water, gathering together relentlessly. They get bigger and bigger, and beautiful red gauze spreads out on the surface.
The red color emits a shimmer, which is very eye-catching in a dim environment.
As the wing clusters come together, the rib cage slides faster and faster. Smashing, contamination, consciousness shock - Qi Xin used all his special skills, just to make that little red disappear from his territory.
But it is born out of darkness again and again, like an endless fire.
[I see.]
Just as Qi Xin was thinking about countermeasures quickly, a hazy consciousness came into her mind.
[Thank you, I figured something out again.]
Qi Xin: "...?"
Before she could react, countless wings gathered together at an unprecedented speed, as if they had been injected with blood. They are put together like this, with red gauze fluttering on the surface, and they look a bit like a tomb.
Immediately afterwards, the tomb changed its shape.
A vague outline emerged from under the red gauze, like a human skeleton. The red gauze stirred, and the skeleton crookedly knelt and sat among the wings.
Qi Xin wanted to rush over, but as soon as she got close, she was frightened by the substantial aura and was unable to move forward.
Something peeked out from the red gauze.
First, there were hands covered with black and gray scars and black nails. Then came four fair and beautiful arms. They stretch out from under the red gauze, leading to the bottomless darkness under the red gauze.
Under the red gauze, soft wings sticking to each other are exposed. Swish, swish, swish, they fluttered animatedly.
Zhong Cheng said, clinging tightly to one of the wings, silently observing everything.
What a resemblance, he thought.
Back in the archives, Yin Ren almost lost his mind and turned into a evil spirit. The original Yin Ren had changed into a similar appearance.
Compared to then, the monster at this moment is still beautiful, but its form has a strange beauty of order. Only four arms were left in a mess, held in front of him reservedly. The wings are dark and matte, much larger than the translucent version.
The red gauze still covered the upper body of that type of person, and Yin Ren did not show his face.
Changes continue.
The red gauze surges gently, and milky white bubbles with a touch of gold gather on the surface. They are each about the size of a fist and reveal a graceful translucent texture. These bubbles form patterns on the surface of the red yarn, like pearls.
A red glimmer lit up from the darkness, and fourteen points of light lit up at the edge of the red gauze.
As the light came on, many incomprehensible decorations appeared on the red gauze. Some look like spider legs, cocklebur balls, and some look like jellyfish with insect legs... They are not big in size and are entangled with each other, turning into exquisite decorations on the red gauze.
Swish la la, swish la la.
jingle.
What finally appeared on the red gauze was a white substance with brain patterns. They gathered at the bottom of the red gauze "hijab" and turned into a huge bell with a silvery luster, hanging from the human figure's chest.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
As the human figure moves, it makes extremely beautiful sounds.
That is a very beautiful monster, Zhong Cheng thought. It is much more beautiful than the last time I saw it.
His own monster. "What the hell is this thing?!" Qi Xin wanted to get closer again and again, but this transforming thing made her feel deeply uncomfortable.
Zhong Cheng said he glanced at her and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He knows the answer.
And she will know.
Finally, before Qi Xin wanted to turn herself into Love Number Two, the transformation was finally completed.
A huge human figure knelt quietly in front of her. It is dressed in a red gauze with complicated and mysterious decorations, its four arms are overlapping, and the waist below turns into a scattered but orderly group of jet black wings. This thing roughly has a human shape, but every time the red gauze floats up, only darkness is exposed underneath.
Qi Xin has never tasted the momentum this thing exudes.
She had seen "fear" back then, but "fear" did not give her such a strong sense of crisis - if faced with "fear", her feeling was like a mouse meeting a cat; facing this thing, her feeling was about Humanity meets aliens.
Horrible, dangerous, and beyond comprehension.
There is no choice but to escape.
Qi Xin quickly gathered her body, she had to lead this thing to the white net of love, yes, that's it.
She stared closely at the silent monster, and the illusion of the cave around her quickly dissipated. However, just when she was about to apply oil on the soles of her feet, the monster slowly stretched out his hand—
Two of its arms made a "stop" sign, and the other two made a heart sign.
Qi Xin: "..."
Did you mean to stop her heart? She has no real heart.
Seeing that the illusion became more chaotic, the monster immediately adjusted its movements, and its two arms turned to say "OK".
[Wait, I have something to say! ] Stronger thoughts came over from Yin Ren, and Qi Xin was numb for a moment.
She would not fall for such a ploy, she judged calmly. The space in front of her was twisted crazily, and was about to turn into a whirlpool—
"Brother Zhong, don't just watch! He's running away—"
A human voice came out from under the red gauze, and Yin Ren freed his hand and slapped the ground anxiously.
Zhong Cheng said slowly taking out the causal lamp.
He glanced at the wick, which lit instantly. The bright red soft light burst out like an explosion. It reflected Zhong Cheng's white sweater red, adding a layer of gentle color to his skin, and danced on his eyelashes.
Only those dark eyes were as black as before. However, at this moment, those eyes were looking at Yin Ren, filled with vivid smile and vitality.
The sunset-like brilliance fell all over the place, instantly swallowing up the surrounding black and gray fog, and the originally colorful shore suddenly turned into a warm red.
Qi Xin was naturally enveloped in this overwhelming red light.
She hadn't tasted this feeling in countless years.
Whenever the day of "satisfaction" ends, the dark night of "fear" will drown everything. If "satisfaction" is like a warm breeze blowing gently across the body, the "fear" that hits is more like ice, freezing all the elements in place.
That is the authority that belongs exclusively to "fear", the most primitive and powerful control.
Compared to how she felt in her memories, Zhong Cheng's authority now, far from weakening, was actually stronger.
Sure enough, Yin Ren is a real monster. "Fear" never abdicated, but was just driven into the world...
Qi Xin was disheartened.
Zhong Chengming clearly focused all his abilities on defense, but somehow he found this fatal authority. It doesn't matter that he has no attack power, with such a big Yin Renchu next to him... If these two beasts attack together, they can help themselves anytime and anywhere on the other side.
Knowing these secrets, she was in danger.
Perhaps the destruction of the other side is destined. Qi Xin sat slumped on the body, quietly waiting for destruction to come.
As a result, right under her nose, Yin Ren quickly shrank in size and turned into a human form again. He looked quite tired and slumped against Zhong Chengshuo. The latter held the lamp steadily and hugged Yin Ren's waist tightly.
"Sure enough, I guessed it right." Yin Ren looked very happy.
"Yeah, that's great." Zhong Cheng said, looking like he wanted to applaud, but unfortunately he didn't have any hands free. He had no choice but to turn his head and nuzzled in Yin Ren's direction, just as a touch.
"It's a pity that it's still close." Yin Ren's face dropped again, "This can only be regarded as a successful development. It has only strength and no skills... I will go explore the area near Baiwang later and we can formulate a battle plan."
Qi Xin: "..." You have to dry her before killing her, right
"Don't be too hasty. The amount of energy you spent just now cannot be reduced." Zhong Cheng said in a low voice.
If you eat it, you will be able to replenish it, right? Qi Xin sighed in his heart.
"Oh, I'll go hunting again and exchange food with Lonely and them." Yin Ren waved his hand, "They like to collect food, and they will take as much as they can."
Qi Xin: "?" There was still no murderous intent in these two people, and there was a hint of anger in her sadness.
The two murmured for a while, and Yin Ren regained a little strength. He left Zhong Chengshuo's arms and wandered to Qi Xin.
"I'm sorry." He lowered his head, "I didn't mean to scare you - if I didn't do this, you might not use all your strength to deal with me." Ms. Qi, who always leaves 10,000 escape routes: "..."
Where is this going to be sung
"'Love' has been looking for you, and we know it. If I guessed correctly, you are probably still wavering, waiting for us to fight to the death. Unfortunately, I don't want to leave such a risk."
Yin Ren smiled slightly.
"You should know who to favor now."
Can I still live
Qi Xin forced herself to continue thinking: "Now that the matter is over, let me tell you straight, my love may not be weaker than yours."
"You are the same kind of thing, and it has just the right momentum in the human world. The Great Heavenly Master needs the help of hundreds of ghosts to seal the fierce evil. The body she creates will definitely not be worse than the evil evil... You are just better than being 'born' early."
Yin Ren was silent.
"I'm not implying that your camp can't do it without me. I'm telling the truth, and you should know it." Qi Xin added as coldly as possible.
"Do you know why we were able to find you so quickly?"
In the burning red light, Yin Ren looked up at Qi Xin on the pile of bones. He kept smiling and answered the wrong questions.
Qi Xin choked, and she was extremely curious. She finally found this secluded place and hid for thousands of years, but was suddenly stabbed in her lair.
"Because I understand human beings." Yin Ren said, "In thousands of thoughts, everyone has some impressions, but they will always be forgotten, and there will always be only those things."
For example, memories full of pain, boring times, forgotten knowledge...or the past history of mankind.
But the former is too fragmented and scattered to accommodate the giant Buddha Qi Xin. As for the latter, after countless whitewashings, it exists speciously in everyone's minds.
That may be the most rugged and mysterious of all the “data” created by humans.
"But this place is huge." Qi Xin pursed his lips, not quite accepting this explanation.
Yin Ren silently took out his cell phone. When he saw Qi Xin, the phone's originally full battery quickly drained out and turned off automatically.
"As long as you find the right place, it's not that difficult to detect the 'uneasiness' at the level of a great elemental object."
Qi Xin: "..."
If I had known earlier, I should have eaten this piece of shit when we were in Gengsheng Town.
But she was really seen through by this person, and she didn't lose unjustly.
Qi Xin: "Stop beating around the bush and tell the truth. What do you want to express?"
Yin Ren held his breath and concentrated, the red gauze danced, and the fatal monster appeared from the red light again. The monster stretched out a hand and gently picked up Zhong Cheng who was lighting the lamp. Then its head turned to Qi Xin. Even though it was covered by red gauze, Qi Xin could still feel the heavy gaze.
"I understand humans."
Yin Ren said softly.
When he lost control in the archives, when he was dying, his body only showed the three most obvious emotional characteristics.
"Fear" as the basis of power, "disgust" inspired by Yin Cun's illusion, and "love" for Zhong Cheng. On the eve of the collapse of the body, they were mixed with the impression of the Great Celestial Master himself, and piled up like tumors.
So what if he consciously understood these emotions and took control of them? But just relying on imagination is still too weak. He needs stronger stimulation and a more dangerous situation to force the instinct out of his body.
Qixin is the most suitable choice.
Yin Ren has intuitive confidence in the existence of this ability. Unlike Yuan Wu, who lives on emotions and knows what they are but doesn't know why, he has a deeper understanding of "emotions".
After all, at the end of the day, he is human.
"I understand human love and hatred, joys and sorrows. Contentment, fear, love, sadness... and even loneliness and uneasiness, I have tasted it and understand what it feels like."
"But you're just... you."
Qi Xin had nothing to say.
Of course she understands. Yuanwu's understanding of human beings is at best limited to the type of emotions they taste. As for other emotions, they are just cast on the other side and other yuan objects.
But that's not human emotion. Even Zhong Chengshuo, who is the pinnacle of Yuanwu, seems confused and clumsy in front of human emotions.
"'Love' cannot become what I am. But I have experienced firsthand what will happen if 'love' is out of control."
Qi Xin remained silent. The monster under the red gauze spoke again, with a hint of smile in his tone.
"Ms. Qi Xin... No, sad, you are the one who understands the decline of the current situation best among the four great yuan things. You should also know that the other side today can never go back to the past. No matter whether the love is true or false, she The phantom you are chasing is destined to never come true.”
The huge monster stretched out a hand.
"And pursuing a past that no longer exists only leads to madness. Well, at least in humans."
"That's it, you won't care about the other side." Qi Xin's eyebrows showed a little hesitation, "What if-"
"Yes, yes, I don't care, but it's finally here."
Yin Ren plucked the bell hanging on his chest, and the bell rang loudly, and the sound made a series of ripples in the red light.
"In the past, you were supplying supplies to the Sinking Society for research. Now, why don't you supply supplies to Shi'an? Anyway, the road has been laid."
Qi Xin frowned: "Why should we..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly choked up and looked at Yin Ren in shock.
"I'm not interested in your other side at all, but I want to live in the human world. If you want to live well, you need money." Yin Ren said sincerely, "Shi'an will give you the financial compensation, you can hire us to work on the other side. Live."
Qi Xin: "..."
She understood that only interests are eternal, but she never thought that Yin Ren's "interests" were really not watery at all.
Qi Xin only felt pain in his head: "That's it?"
Yin Ren's voice became more sincere: "That's it."
Qi Xin: "I'll think about it again."
"No, I want answers now."
"...I'll just go with you." Qi Xin squeezed out the answer through his teeth.
Forget it, plans don’t change quickly anyway. she thought numbly.
Let her see how far things can go.
"Recently, staff discovered a strong hallucinogenic mold in the sewers of Haigu City..."
"The 'corpse centipede' monster witnessed by hundreds of people actually does not exist. The sewers in the old city are suspected to be faulty, and the garbage is tangled in strings..."
"Our city will carry out comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the sewer system in the near future. Please cooperate with the work..."
The host's voice kept coming into his head. Xiang Jiang raised his hand and turned off the TV.
Shi'an did fight back, but he still used such a stupid method. Xiang Jiang had no idea about this. He knew that sooner or later, Fu Xingchuan would sit back and naturally he would not sit still and wait for death. No matter how ugly the move is, that person will still use it shamelessly.
Now, the mountain village that destroyed their family's life has been punished.
But the man who made his brother die with his eyes open and turned into a ghost is still alive and well in the city.
This is not okay.
"Hey, it's me... Well, I know, I just saw the news."
Xiang Jiang dialed Shen Mo's phone number.
"Since the centipede is useless, I will take care of it." He raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the extinguished TV. "Don't worry, I won't let it rest happily."
