Cao Yuan was stunned.
"Don't be so surprised, I'm not stupid." Lu Menglei blinked.
"The calluses on your hands are too thick. This is not something you can get from practicing swordplay when you were a child. And the temperament you exude... How can anyone who has been admitted to this school after nine years of compulsory education have such a strong evil spirit? Even some veterans who have been on the battlefield may not be able to compare with you.
I guess you must have a mysterious background that you cannot tell others casually!
right? ! "
Looking at Lu Menglei's shining eyes, Cao Yuan didn't know what to answer for a moment.
"I understand. You don't have to answer. I already know the answer without denying it."
Lu Menglei hesitated for a moment, looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, she stood on tiptoes and leaned close to Cao Yuan's ear, and a gust of fragrant wind filled Cao Yuan's nose.
"Can I join you?" She tentatively asked in a low voice.
"No." Cao Yuan refused decisively.
Lu Menglei sighed in frustration.
"Then...you really don't have time to come? Any time is fine!"
Cao Yuan looked at Lu Menglei's hopeful eyes. After thinking for a moment, he sighed, "If I do things during the day... I should have time to come over at night, but it will be very late, almost until early morning."
"It doesn't matter!" Lu Menglei's eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter what time it is, as long as I can... um... spar with you, I can come at any time!"
Seeing this, Cao Yuan no longer refused, "Then, see you in the evening."
"good!"
…
Beijing city, night.
Lin Qiye rubbed the corners of his tired eyes, landed on the top of a tall building, looked down at the neon-lit street below, and let out a long sigh.
"No...what are those Migos looking for?"
Lin Qiye, Chen Han, and members of the Night Watch headquarters have searched most of the city of Shangjing. Even the three kilometers underground have been explored by Lin Qiye with his mental power. There is nothing strange at all.
"Captain Lin, that's it for today. Thank you for your hard work." Chen Han's voice in the headset was also extremely tired.
"This is the only way. If it doesn't work, I will try the 'Miracle' object search tomorrow... I don't know if it will be effective."
Lin Qiye took off his headset, looked at the time, and his figure turned into a wisp of night and disappeared at the end of the sky.
Squeak!
Lin Qiye pushed open the courtyard door, and the courtyard was very lively. An Qingyu sat at the chessboard under the tree and played chess with Jiang Er. Li Yifei got on An Qingyu's wheelchair and started racing in the courtyard, giving out surprise cheers from time to time.
"Qiye, where have you been?" An Qingyu couldn't help but ask after not seeing Lin Qiye for a day.
"Chen Han asked me to help him with his official duties, so he stayed at the Shangjing City Station for a day." Lin Qiye shrugged helplessly, and then changed the subject, "By the way, how are you feeling today?"
"It feels... almost the same as yesterday. There is no obvious improvement in computing power. It seems that there is still a slight regression..." An Qingyu frowned.
"It's not a step back, it's just that I was a step ahead." Jiang Er comforted, "Since Qiye is here, you two can meet for a while, and I'll make some medicine for you."
Jiang Er left the chessboard and floated into the room. Lin Qiye walked to sit opposite An Qingyu and started playing with him.
"Qiye, something strange happened to me today."
While the two were playing chess, Li Yifei drove over in a wheelchair and spoke with a strange expression.
"Strange thing? Tell me."
Li Yifei told what happened today. Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's the new reserve team doing the task. It's just a remnant soul from the last century. Don't think too much about it."
"But she seems to be very attached to me?"
"These remnant souls were all left behind after committing suicide on the Fifth Religion Building due to various things. Maybe what makes her obsessed is a man who looks very similar to you. Since she has been killed by Fang Mo and the others, Once we take it back to the classroom, this matter is over."
"So that's it..."
Li Yifei nodded, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing... I just looked at her appearance when she left and felt a little pitiful."
Lin Qiye squeezed the hand of the chess piece for a moment, turned to look at Li Yifei, and said with a complicated expression, "Maybe... these young people are already suffering. If you really feel sorry for her, you can go and help her."
"Help her? How to help her?"
"Tell her clearly and untie the knot in her heart. They are all lonely ghosts. If the resentment and frustration in their hearts can be dissipated... it will be a good thing."
Li Yifei was thoughtful.
Not long after, Jiang Er came to An Qingyu with a hot soup. After letting him drink it, Lin Qiye stood up and said:
"Jiang Er, you'd better stay with him. I'm a little tired. I'll go to bed first."
"good… "
"Hey, I can do that too!" Li Yifei volunteered and raised his hand, "Sister Jiang Er, you go and have a rest. I'll fight him. Don't worry, I won't let him lose too miserably!"
Jiang Er glanced at him with a strange expression, "Okay... then you go ahead."
Lin Qiye went back to his room to sleep, and Jiang Er returned to his coffin. Only Li Yifei and An Qingyu were left in the courtyard, playing chess seriously under the tree.
"Hey, Qingyu, shall I get off first?" Li Yifei said with a smile.
Li Yifei had lived with them for so long and had some understanding of An Qingyu's situation. An Qingyu used his terrifying reasoning to kill him directly in the Sixth Middle School. It still makes him feel a little scared now. At this moment, An Qingyu's computing power If he is damaged and has the opportunity to take revenge on the chessboard, he will naturally not miss it!
"Okay." An Qingyu smiled shyly.
Li Yifei confidently placed a piece on the chessboard, followed closely by An Qingyu.
As time passed, the smile on Li Yifei's face gradually disappeared. Later, even dense beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"You lost." An Qingyu calmly dropped the last chess piece and said with a smile.
"This...are you not sick?"
Li Yifei looked at the chess game in front of him in disbelief.
"It's not that I'm not sick... it's that you're too good at it." An Qingyu couldn't help but say, "Your level is not as good as when Jiang Er competed with me at the level of a primary school student..."
Li Yifei:…
Li Yifei shook his head in annoyance, "Okay... It seems that I'm really not good at these things. I'd better go back to practice piano..."
"Practice?"
"Yeah, I'm going to perform at the New Year's Eve party in two days." After saying this, Li Yifei became more confident again, "I'm not bragging. I played and sang a piece on the roadside today, and immediately more than 30 girls came to me. WeChat… "
While Li Yifei was boasting endlessly, An Qingyu fell into deep thought...
"Li Yifei, can you do me a favor?" An Qingyu suddenly said.
"You want me to help? Just say it! I will definitely help if I can!"
An Qingyu paused for a moment and spoke seriously:
"I want to learn guitar."
