The man was hit on the table by a force from the back of his head without any preparation. Not to mention his forehead, even his teeth that were exposed when he opened his mouth to speak were hurt.
Rage and pain soared to the man's head in direct proportion. As soon as he regained consciousness, he yelled: "Fuck, who is your mother? Are you sick?"
Lu Shizhen still didn't let go of the man's hand, and gritted her teeth and fought back: "You are not sick. Your head is frozen in the middle of winter, and you are talking nonsense here!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately raised his head to see who was the fool who was provoking him.
But he just couldn't lift his head up, his neck was pressed down by a monotonous force, and he couldn't twist it. He could only rage helplessly: "Fuck you, I can say whatever I want to say, why do you have to meddle in my business here! That little bitch is you..."
Just like before, the man's words were physically blocked by the sudden force exerted by Lu Shizhen's hand before he could finish.
The chaotic and dazzling light made the night market as bright as day, but it still couldn't give Lu Shizhen's complexion even a gentle blush.
Even though she looked so sick and as if she had difficulty breathing, the strength in her hands was greater than that of an adult man.
The man swallowed the dirty words back into his stomach, leaving only a miserable cry that he couldn't suppress: "Ah—Fuck, fuck, it hurts so much! Alpaca, let me go!!!"
However, Lu Shizhen seemed to be unable to hear the man's wailing, and the strength in his hands continued to increase.
The blue veins that slightly coiled up on the back of her hand were filled with strength, looking ferocious as if they wanted to break her neck in two, making this head unable to say or think anything that would defile Xu Shiyue.
It is true that when Lu Shizhen heard this man say that Xu Shiyue had crushed her to dust, she felt really disappointed.
This feeling made her want to escape, to ignore, and even to cut off all ties with Xu Shiyue and never have any contact with her again.
But when she heard the man swearing, she found that she couldn't just turn a deaf ear to it.
Almost as if it was a conditioned reflex, she stood up and knocked the man's head on the table, neatly and cruelly, with a sense of morbidity.
The wind this night is not as fierce as last night, but rather a warm breeze blending in with last night's wind.
The various lights intertwined with each other shone on Xu Shiyue's profile, and her cold white skin could never be drowned by the crowd.
Her eyes opened slightly under her tangled hair, dark and crystal, flashing the brightest light of the moon, bright and spotless.
That was the rose she had picked from the garden and raised with great difficulty. How could she pick it with such dirty, cracked hands
dream!
Dreaming about his Spring and Autumn Dream!
As Lu Shizhen thought about this, the cruelty in his eyes grew, and the strength in his hands grew stronger.
The man couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted angrily with a trembling voice: "Fuck you, Dong Qi! Wang Liu! What the hell are you standing there for! Come on!"
Just like that, the yellow-haired man who had been watching came back to his senses from his daze, stood up and warned Lu Shizhen: "I'm warning you to let go of my brother. I won't fight you because you're a woman. Don't be ungrateful!"
"Let go."
The man with the watch didn't give Lu Shizhen any warning and walked over to pry Lu Shizhen's hand away.
The original owner of this crazy guy had learned all kinds of Sanda fighting techniques. Lu Shizhen looked at the man coming over and raised her leg reflexively. The cramped seating arrangement restricted the man's route, and the man couldn't even get close to Lu Shizhen, and was knocked down by her with one kick.
There were footsteps heard amid the noisy voices around, and Lu Shizhen's retracted leg seemed to sweep backwards by inertia.
The yellow-haired man who wanted to launch a sneak attack was stunned for a second, and he saw the sky full of stars. He didn't even realize why he was so dizzy. His legs went weak and he fell towards the man who was clamped on the table by Lu Shizhen.
“Boom!”
The two heads that didn't look very smart collided with each other with a bang, making an extremely crisp sound.
This was the first time that Lu Shizhen heard the sound of human heads colliding. In addition to pleasure, his eyes were filled with novelty and surprise at the crisp sound of human skulls hitting each other, and he even laughed.
However, her excitement did not last long. Qiuqiu anxiously floated to her ear and reminded her nervously: "Host, I show here that although these three people are now stunned by you, your force value will drop drastically after a short burst. You will not be able to outlast them. The best time to escape is now!"
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and uttered an unhappy and nervous "Huh?" in his heart.
She felt a little regretful that her divine punishment had not yet made them repent more deeply, but she also understood Qiuqiu's words very well.
The night wind was chilly, and Lu Shizhen just looked down at the three people he had punished.
Although she was nervous about the situation that she was about to be at a disadvantage, she did not panic or relax her momentum. She spat at the three people who were stunned by her: "Bah, garbage, scum, they are just scum taken out of the incinerator!"
"You fucking ..."
"Don't go, wait for me! Damn it..."
"Fuck, you son of a bitch..."
The curses from these three people were more harsh than each other, and Lu Shizhen’s curses didn’t seem so fierce.
As they talked, they hunched over and struggled like maggots to stand up.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Lu Shizhen's eyes were full of disdain, and he didn't forget to intimidate the three people at the end, "Don't worry, I will tell Xu Shiyue all these words tomorrow, and you can just wait to be crushed to ashes by her!"
She did not abandon the aura she learned from the original owner, and her low voice was filled with cruelty.
It was not known whether it was because of the attitude displayed by Lu Shizhen or the name mentioned, but the three people who had just struggled to regain consciousness suddenly froze.
This group of people will always only fantasize about others behind their backs and be tough all the time.
Outsiders would tremble in fear if they read the name of the person they offended in front of them, not to mention that the person they offended today was the hot topic in society recently, the hot figure, Xu Shiyue, who was decisive and ruthless in killing.
Things that are shameful are shameful and will never be seen in public.
They just looked at this capable man, and suddenly they had a feeling that this man was a hidden talent, and it was not impossible that he knew Xu Shiyue.
For a moment, the three of them looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward and attack Lu Shizhen.
This also gave Lu Shizhen time to escape.
Her eyes were full of disdain and disgust. She didn't want to pretend to be like these three people for even a second longer. Her gaze withdrew as she turned around, and she left without stopping.
then…
The moment she merged into the crowd, she ran away without looking back.
The bustling crowd was like a fish that had just escaped from the hands of a fisherman, and the backs of the running people were particularly obvious.
The leading man had by this time woke up from the brutal collision and immediately realized that he had been tricked.
That’s right, how could there be someone in their place who knows a big shot like Xu Shiyue!
Damn it, I got cheated!
The man was immediately enraged, and slapped his brothers standing on both sides of him: "What are you looking at! We are all intimidated by that little girl! How can she know Xu Shiyue? Damn it, chase her!"
With a snap, the yellow-haired man and the man with the watch seemed to have their brains blown away. They realized at the same time that they had been cheated, and started to chase after the figure moving quickly in the crowd.
“Don’t run!”
"Stop right there!"
The bustling night market was filled with the hustle and bustle of voices, and amidst the noise Lu Shizhen could hear the voices of these people from afar.
She once thought that words like this could only be found in TV dramas. After all, if someone told her not to run away in such a ferocious tone, even a fool would run for his life.
Qiuqiu had already helped Lu Shizhen with navigation yesterday, and this time it was even more familiar with the route. It quickly planned the best escape route for Lu Shizhen, and took her through this unfamiliar environment nimbly and flexibly.
The wind that was trampled to the ground by the crowded crowd rose up with the girl's steps, lightly lifting her hair.
This was the first time that Lu Shizhen felt the coolness and pleasure of the wind passing by her ears, and her boots even made a tapping sound when they hit the old floor tiles.
She was running freely, using her healthy body and her legs, which she could completely control.
The wind on a winter night was so cold that it almost scratched one's bones, but what Lu Shizhen felt was a feeling of complete freedom.
A car passed by her on the road, blowing her hair up.
She ran faster and faster, as if even the wind could not catch up with her. She had forgotten about escaping and all she could do was run freely.
I don't know how long I ran, Qiuqiu was a little tired, and hurriedly stopped them, saying: "Okay, okay, host, they won't catch up anymore, let's stop."
Hearing this, Lu Shizhen raised his head in a daze.
She just let out a breath in her throat and slowed down her pace: "Okay."
White mist came out from the girl's light pink lips, gathering together as if reluctant to leave her lips.
The high-intensity running made Lu Shizhen temporarily out of breath. She walked on the sidewalk to calm her breathing, and suddenly a firework appeared in her peripheral vision.
A loud and sharp sound suddenly pierced the sky, and the golden firework ball with a red hue and a long tail flew into the sky.
Lu Shizhen raised her head and followed the trajectory of the fireworks, and saw that the sky in her sight was divided into several pieces by steel ropes thicker than her wrists. The fireworks exploded when they reached the highest point, and clusters of them filled every part of the sky.
The fireworks were fleeting, and sparks fell like stars along with the withering flowers.
The bridge was very close to the sky, and the falling Martian seemed to be falling into Lu Shizhen's eyes, but she did not dodge. Her dazed eyes seemed to show that she had thought of something.
Not long ago, she had also witnessed such a sudden fireworks display at home.
The fireworks back then were brighter, grander, and more romantic than this one.
The huge fireworks lit up the entire sky as bright as day and filled the huge living room with ambiguity.
The wind carrying the smell of gunpowder blew towards Lu Shizhen, bringing up the extremely warm fragrance in her memory.
Xu Shiyue's face appeared so close in her sight, with bright eyes and white teeth.
The girl's falling long hair enveloped them together, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
They should have kissed.
This thought suddenly popped up in Lu Shizhen's mind again, and it was completely illogical.
She was horrified at herself for coming up with this sentence, and her eyes frantically looked around for a place to stay.
Finally, she found the landing point.
She was somewhat surprised to find that she had come to the bridge where she had stopped during her walk this morning. The fireworks just now were set off by a group of people on the shore.
These fireworks are certainly not as luxurious as those in the wealthy areas, but they are the simplest and most enthusiastic. The simplest spherical fireworks without any shape exploded one after another in the sky, filling the gray and lonely sky with golden brilliance.
Lu Shizhen looked up and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.
Just as Lu Shizhen was looking up to admire the fireworks, Qiuqiu floated over with a large plastic bag on her tail, disrupting the scenery in front of her, "The host can't lift it anymore..."
The sound of the little ball was a bit bitter, and it sounded like it was really forced.
Lu Shizhen was just wondering why Qiuqiu couldn't hold on so quickly today. Looking at the pile of things they ordered at the night market hooked by its tail, she suddenly realized: "You really didn't forget your food even when you were running for your life. If these things couldn't be invisible with you, I would definitely be on the news tomorrow even if I wasn't caught by those three people."
"But they are really fragrant!" Qiuqiu argued, watching Lu Shizhen take her treasure, and then carefully loosened her tail, which had been curled into a hook all the way, from the handle of the bag, and skillfully hooked out two starch sausages, and said to Lu Shizhen in a flattering manner: "Would you like one starch sausage?"
Lu Shizhen looked at Qiuqiu who was being attentive to her. Although she seemed to be disgusted by its behavior of bringing food with it even when escaping, she still reached out to take it.
When she was in the ward, Lu Shizhen often heard doctors say that things like those sold at street stalls were unhealthy and best not to eat.
But the smell of this mixture of spices is so fragrant, who can resist it
As I thought about this, another bunch of fireworks rose into the sky.
Louder than any of the fireworks just now, the sharp sound cut through the night sky that had been quiet for a while, and the incandescent light whooshed into the air.
Then, a dazzling golden beam exploded in the sight of Lu Shizhen and Qiuqiu.
It was as if all the stars had been deceived.
Not sure if it was because of the fireworks or because of the question in his mind just now, Lu Shizhen suddenly thought of that person again.
She lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the starch sausage in her hand, and asked thoughtfully: "Qiuqiu, do you think your main system will forcibly correct the protagonist's behavior because of deviations?"
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen." Qiuqiu gnawed on a starch sausage that was three times bigger than her entire ball and shook her head vaguely, "We can only guide the protagonist to behave rationally and act according to the plot. The closer they are to the protagonist circle, the smaller the radiation effect will be, and forcing it is even more impossible."
"Then do you think it's reasonable for Xu Shiyue to grind me to ashes?" Lu Shizhen asked, turning to look at Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu's enjoyable eating suddenly stopped.
It also felt that it was unreasonable, just as it was unreasonable that Lu Shizhen's points exceeded her expectations.
But all this happened under the monitoring of the Lord God and the main system, so there was no way there could be any mistakes.
After a pause, Qiuqiu said, "But the plot is set up like this and it won't be changed."
Lu Shizhen was silent.
She had read the book many times and of course knew that her fate would be to be reduced to ashes.
But she just hoped that among all the established things, there could be a little change, like Xu Shiyue not abandoning her.
Lu Shizhen looked at the fireworks that kept exploding in the air, his eyes blurred with confusion.
She was very surprised at this feeling, as if the sparks from the huge firework just now fell on her heart, and the scorching temperature burned through the land in her body and fell straight down.
No one knows where it will fall, and no one knows where it will burn before it goes out.
It hurts. It really hurts.
Lu Shizhen gently turned the starch sausage in her hand. The pain of the extremely thin skewer rolling over her fingers was insignificant compared to this feeling.
Be it anger or hatred.
After these radical emotions created huge waves that overwhelmed people, they all turned into this pain in the heart.
Burning with no solution, the black hole is filled with sadness.
Lu Shizhen frowned slightly, not knowing what was behind her sadness.
But what’s the use even if I know it now
She is not hers anymore.
She would never be hers.
As if she had noticed Lu Shizhen's change in mood, Qiuqiu sat on her shoulder and said to help her divert her attention: "Host, we have a lot of points now. Is there any world you are interested in going to?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Shizhen was indeed brought back to his senses.
She thought for a moment and said, "I am interested, but I don't really want to go."
Qiuqiu didn't quite understand what Lu Shizhen meant, so she asked, "Where are you going next?"
"I… "
The wind blew through Lu Shizhen's hair, and the stiff ends of her newly cut hair brushed her cheeks.
This world is still in her sight. The ice surface reflects the light given to it by the people of this city. It is quiet and lively.
“I want to stay in this world.”
Qiuqiu was even more confused when she heard what Lu Shizhen said: "Why? This world is the most ordinary of all the worlds in the system. There is no advanced technology, no spiritual power or aura."
"Maybe it's because she's ordinary." Lu Shizhen said.
She didn't really want to leave this world, but she couldn't say why.
She thought that sometimes you would fall in love with a place for no apparent reason and not know why you chose to stay there.
Although Qiuqiu didn't think highly of this world, it still highly respected the host's wishes and asked again: "Then do we have to continue living in City S?"
Lu Shizhen shook her head this time: "I think it's better not to do it."
Although she still chooses to stay in this world, the behavior of Xu Shiyue described by the man just now and the rule that the plot stated by Qiuqiu cannot be changed force her to temporarily hide from the limelight and leave the entire city where "Xu Shiyue hates Lu Shizhen" is written all over it.
Although this thought was rational and flashed through his mind quickly, it still made Lu Shizhen's eyes darken.
She looked at the glacier that almost crisscrossed the entire city and said, "I think we should go to the Northeast first. I want to try skiing. That way, if I fall, it won't hurt too much."
"What do you think?"
"Okay!" Qiuqiu nodded without thinking, wagging his tail and saying, "I want to go wherever the host wants to go!"
Lu Shizhen looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
She thought, fortunately, she has such an artificial intelligence that can talk...
.
Although Lu Shizhen and Qiuqiu had planned where they wanted to go, she still stayed in City S for a few more days.
In addition to making travel guides, the most important thing was that she used her points to go to the system mall to do some shopping, and made up an orphan identity for herself that was not very helpful, and obtained the identity of an ordinary high school art student.
As for painting, Lu Shizhen has completed rehabilitation through these days of painting.
She wanted to take advantage of the upcoming joint examinations and school entrance examinations after returning from the Northeast to explore this world which was almost the same as her original world.
Three days later, all preparations were completed. Lu Shizhen bought a flight ticket for 11 o'clock at night. After checking out of the hotel, she headed for the airport carrying a bag that was neither too big nor too small.
This time she really wants to leave this city.
There was still plenty of time, so Lu Shizhen paused, walked around the taxi waiting area in front of the hotel, and headed towards the subway station not far away.
Before the night falls, the city shrouded in darkness is brightly lit, as if resisting the rules of the world in this way.
Lu Shizhen was still wearing the black sweatshirt he wore when he came here, with his entire head covered by the hood. After the light turned green, he followed the crowd across the road.
On the giant screen of the shopping mall opposite was a very realistic cat, licking its fur lazily on the other side of the screen.
I just don't know if it was so absorbed in licking that it didn't notice it was leaning against something, and it just wagged its tail and swung it towards that thing...
Then, its owner came over and stopped its tail in time.
It was only then that people noticed that this was actually an advertisement. The camera gradually moved up as the cat continued to lick its fur, and a building sand table suddenly appeared on the screen.
Lu Shizhen, who had originally been about to stop because of this adorable looking cat, completely stopped in her tracks.
The sand table projected on the big screen was exactly as she had described to Xu Shiyue. The smooth curves eliminated the old look of the building and were full of design sense.
Lu Shizhen's heart suddenly stopped.
As she looked at the picture, she noticed the words "Mao-Te Building Reconstruction Project" in the lower right corner.
However, the next second, her stopped heartbeat hit her hard.
Below the words "Maode Building Reconstruction Plan" there is a line of corporate signatures, which clearly indicates that this building was jointly developed by Xu Real Estate and Shen Construction.
It’s Xu Shiyue and Shen Yanxing.
"It's the Xu Group again. They've been quite powerful recently."
"Yeah, I heard that the young lady from the Shen Group helped the Xu family a lot this time. This can be considered as a share of the pie, right?"
"This is not even a piece of the pie. Miss Xu is just trying to help her future in-laws."
"But the Shen family doesn't have only one daughter..."
The discussions of the passers-by changed from sighs to surprise, and then turned into eye contact that could only be understood but not expressed in words, and they gradually walked away with Lu Shizhen.
The light from the billboard illuminated Lu Shizhen's raised face, with a layer of darkness beneath her dense eyelashes.
Without stopping, Lu Shizhen shook his hat, lowered his head and buried his face in the darkness again.
"Host..." Qiuqiu sensed Lu Shizhen's depressed mood and got out of her pocket and was about to say something, but was then pressed back by Lu Shizhen, "Let's go. If we miss this subway, we will miss the plane later."
After saying that, Lu Shizhen turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Just like that, she left this city that was filled with all her knowledge of the world.
