It was night, cold and windy, cold and desolate.
In the dimly lit basement, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette quietly. Not far from him, a thin young man was sitting indifferently on the cold ground, his originally delicate and fair face was smudged. His clothes were stained with mud, and his wrists were chained, limiting his range of movement.
The cigarette in Zuo Lan's hand was about to burn out. After taking the last puff, he extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
Zuo Lan turned his head to look at Xie Yan, and saw that he was still sitting indifferently. He had been like this since he woke up, and he didn't even give himself a straight look. no difference.
puppet…
Thinking of this, Zuo Lan couldn't help but feel complacent, got up and walked to Xie Yan's side.
"Young master, why are you here?"
Xie Yan glanced at Zuo Lan lightly, but said nothing.
Zuo Lan squatted down in front of Xie Yan, looked him up and down, "Do you think all of you with the surname Shen are sick, and each of you is obsessed with one thing after another, but if you show some sympathy back then, We’re not going to get this far.”
"For so many years, you have always wanted to kill me, but you never thought that one day you would fall into my hands."
Xie Yan just listened quietly, not intending to answer at all, Zuo Lan looked at his pair of red pupils, reached out to touch Xie Yan, but Xie Yan avoided him in disgust.
Xie Yan doesn't like others to touch him casually, this is the vigilance he has had since childhood, Zuo Lan also knows it, so he doesn't care about Xie Yan's reaction.
"Although you are close relatives with the same blood, your personality is not at all like Shen Xie." Mentioning Shen Xie, Zuo Lan couldn't help sneering, "Young master, I can be regarded as watching you grow up, even if you treat me repeatedly. I'm trying hard to push each other, but the old friendship is still there, if you are willing to ask me, I can consider helping you."
Xie Yan slightly lowered her eyes, her calm eyes were always calm as usual, as if nothing Zuo Lan said had nothing to do with him.
The reaction of ignoring it brought back Zuo Lan's past memories, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he suddenly grabbed Xie Yan's collar.
"At this point, why are you still pretending to be noble with me?" Zuo Lan stared at Xie Yan viciously, "What I hate the most is your superior attitude, son of heaven? Oh, why are you so superior to others! "
"And your ungrateful master." Thinking of the past, the anger in Zuo Lan's heart was completely ignited, "The savior who is destined to be the savior of the world is just a ruthless, ungrateful mediocrity, for a man, He wants to imprison me to death!"
"I used to die for him, but now he wants my life with all his heart!" Zuo Lan was furious, "He is also a meritorious person, Ji Xianzhi is now successful and famous, his wife is virtuous and his son is filial, happy and harmonious, but what about me?"
"The chaos is settled, but I can't find peace. I can only live in fear every day, hiding my head and showing my tail. This is all thanks to you master and apprentice!"
Hearing this, Xie Yan finally had some reaction on his face, and said indifferently, "Dare to hit my little uncle's idea, you should die."
Zuo Lan pushed Xie Yan away and said with a sinister smile, "I don't know when I will die, but it's easy for me to kill you now."
As soon as the words fell, Zuo Lan suddenly raised his palm and patted Xie Yan with killing intent in his eyes. Just at this moment, a slender and slender hand suddenly grabbed Zuo Lan's wrist, preventing his intention.
Shen Qiuli glanced at Zuo Lan, then let go, and said calmly: "Mr. Xie is a guest, this is not how I treat guests."
Zuo Lan snorted coldly, turned around, walked back to the sofa and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it and continued to smoke, apparently not planning to care about the next thing.
Shen Qiuli didn't intend to take care of Zuo Lan, he shifted his gaze to Xie Yan, "I'm sorry, there are some things that you can't talk about in your normal state, so you can only feel wronged first."
Facing Shen Qiuli, Xie Yan was no longer indifferent, "Where is Ji Qinghuai?"
"Master Ji..." Shen Qiuli smiled, "Do you want to see him?"
Xie Yan had a bad premonition in his heart.
"It's easy." Shen Qiuli raised his hand and snapped his fingers immediately.
Following the command, a figure quickly rushed to Jieyan, and punched Xieyan out. The flying body was restrained by chains, and Xieyan fell to the ground with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Xie Yan's vision was briefly blurred, and when his vision recovered, he could clearly see the person standing in front of him.
Ji Qinghuai.
Ji Qinghuai was also looking at Jieyan, but those eyes that were supposed to be clear and bright were lacklustre at the moment, as if they had fallen into a dead lake, their eyes were loose and lifeless.
Xie Yan didn't care about the injuries on her body, endured the pain and forcefully stood up, "What did you do to him?"
"Nothing." Shen Qiuli took out the bell that was taken off Ji Qinghuai's wrist and shook it lightly.
Xie Yan immediately understood and couldn't help frowning.
"Mr. Xie, before you give someone a gift, don't you tell me how to use it?" Shen Qiuli shook the bell in his hand again with a smile on his lips.
The powerful monster power was released in the basement, Ji Qinghuai concentrated the power in his palm, and hit Xie Yan without hesitation.
"Ji Qinghuai!"
Following Xie Yan's yell, the demon force came at him, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to stop. Xie Yan stood where he was, and let the palm force approach him.
Under the oppression of the powerful demon power, Jieyan's five senses disappeared for a short time, he couldn't hear a single sound in his ears, his body was already unable to move, and his breathing was stagnant.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ji Qinghuai's movements suddenly stopped at the very moment, and the palm barely stopped in front of Xieyan.
His thin body swayed, cold sweat broke out from the corner of Xieyan's forehead, and he couldn't support himself half kneeling on the ground, and the piercing bell rang again, Ji Qinghuai withdrew his hand and obediently stood aside.
"This body is still useful for me to keep, but I can't hurt it like this." Shen Qiuli squatted down and said to Xie Yan: "Do you think that Ji Qinghuai's appearance of being denied by his relatives just now is scary."
Shen Qiuli looked at Ji Qinghuai, "You will see him again in a short time, do you remember what he did to you yesterday? Since then, the toxins in his body have been completely out of control. If he stops, he will become a lunatic who doesn't recognize his relatives, and his waking hours will be less and less until he runs out of life and dies of exhaustion."
Xie Yan suffocated.
He raised his head to look at Ji Qinghuai, but he didn't see any reaction from Ji Qinghuai. Xie Yan knew that Ji Qinghuai was being controlled by someone now, and he couldn't hear anything except Shen Qiuli's instructions.
Xie Yan turned to look at Shen Qiuli, "Is Lin Shuye in your hands?"
"Yes." Shen Qiuli said: "He was already in my hands when you first started looking for someone, but he is not at all reassuring, always wanting to run away, and I almost let him run away yesterday. I was a little unhappy, so I cut off his tail to teach him a lesson, and used the severed tail to stimulate Ji Qinghuai, which was a good move."
Xie Yan couldn't help clenching his fists, and he was rarely angry, "Ji Qinghuai has no grievances with you, why did you involve him in this?"
"Probably because you care about him." Compared to Xie Yan's anger, Shen Qiuli was calm, "I didn't go after him, but I just borrowed his illness, as long as we can get things over Once it’s settled, I will naturally detoxify him.”
Hearing about detoxification, Jieyan suppressed the anger in her heart, "You are spending so much time, what exactly do you want to do?"
Shen Qiu was silent for a moment, "I want to live."
He said: "When Master created me, I understood the meaning of my existence and was willing to fulfill my mission, but God gave me a second chance to choose."
"Originally, I didn't intend to make things difficult for you, but Zuo Lan cast a curse on me to force me to trouble Master. I don't even have the right to refuse or die." Shen Qiuli sat down in front of Jieyan, with a peaceful tone. He was talking as if he were chatting inconsequentially.
"Afterwards, I thought, since I'm back, why not fight for myself once, as long as I occupy your body, I can have flesh and blood, and I will be born, old, sick and die naturally, and I don't think Master will intervene in this matter. "
"Master created me and let me die for you once. After all, he owed me something, so how can he intervene again? Besides, as far as he is concerned, all he wants is an apprentice who can continue to bear the burden for him Well, it doesn't matter if it's you or me."
"When we are fully integrated, I will replace you and live well. I will complete your mission for you. I will take care of Ji Qinghuai for you. Everything will go on as usual. The world will not change because of you, not even Few people can distinguish you from me, and few people will know about your disappearance."
"Of course, you don't have to agree." Shen Qiuli said again: "Do you know why I temporarily changed my mind and didn't kill Xu Luo? Because I want to keep him and give you a glimmer of hope."
Shen Qiuli took out a glass bottle from the pocket of his coat, which contained some black liquid, shaking slightly in the bottle.
"I got this from Lin Shuye. Ji Qinghuai is poisoned with this kind of poison." Shen Qiuli handed the glass bottle to Ji Qinghuai, watched Ji Qinghuai put it away and continued: "If you can get out of here alive, you can take this Leave it to Xu Luo and let him try to see if he can detoxify Ji Qinghuai, as for the result, it depends on your luck."
Zuo Lan has been listening by the side, and when she heard Shen Qiuli's words, she walked over with a frown and said, "Why are you crazy, they walked out of here alive, we are the ones who died."
"It's just for fun, why care so much." Shen Qiuli replied, and then said to Xie Yan: "But Mr. Xie, you have no choice right now, the poison in Ji Qinghuai's body has spread to the spirit veins, every time you use the spirit The force is accelerating his approach to death, if you don't agree, I can kill him bit by bit, and then it will be too late for you to regret it."
"What nonsense are you talking to him?" What Zuo Lan dislikes the most is Shen Qiuli's sloppy look. In his opinion, what Shen Qiuli said just now is all nonsense.
"It's up to him whether he wants to or not." Zuo Lan sneered, "To deal with this kind of person, you have to be tough directly. As long as you keep your breath, there will be so much trouble."
"You're right." Shen Qiuli stood up and smiled, "That offends me."
As he spoke, he rang the bell in his hand.
Ji Qinghuai stood next to Shen Qiuli, mobilized his demon power again, looked at Xieyan with a pair of dull eyes, Zuo Lan sneered at the show, wishing that Shen's family would die soon.
There was a "bang".
The powerful monster force was sent out with the momentum of breaking the wind, but it passed in front of Xie Yan, and all hit Zuo Lan's body. Zuo Lan's body hit the wall heavily, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You..." Zuo Lan stared at Shen Qiuli, trying to get up, but was kicked back by Shen Qiuli.
"Idiot." Shen Qiuli looked at Zuo Lan coldly, "Even if I'm a substitute, I'm not worthy of your control."
Shen Qiuli raised his hand, and murderous intent appeared in his calm eyes, "At the beginning you almost killed my junior uncle, but the master didn't kill you because of the friendship in the past, but now that you are on the run for a serious crime, I will get rid of you for the master. "
After finishing speaking, Shen Qiuli raised his palm and slapped Zuo Lan's head with one palm, blood flowed down his forehead, Zuo Lan opened his eyes wide and lay on the ground with a hideous face.
