The night gradually became quiet. The three people on the rooftop leaped into the night and returned to the building in front. At the broken rooftop exit, the rubble was pushed away. The residents of the building rushed up with baseball bats and kitchen knives, staring at the diffuse dust, looking around with the weapons in their hands.
"Where are the people? Didn't they say there were people on the rooftop?!" "I heard voices just now."
"There's another person lying over there!"
"Hey, isn't this the daughter of the household on the 20th floor? Hurry, hurry..."
A group of residents who had plucked up the courage to come up stumbled over, stepping on the broken pieces on the ground. Someone picked up the little girl, examined her, and shouted towards the rooftop exit.
"He's fine! He just fainted."
The more timid person over there exhaled a breath, and the woman in the middle patted her chest in her loose pajamas and shook it back and forth, "It's okay, I'm glad you're okay."
"Call an ambulance!"
"By the way, where are the people from the 20th floor?"
"He ran downstairs..."
Amid the shouting and running of the crowd, the night gradually passed and the eastern sky began to turn pale. In the dark sky, the waves on the northern river pushed the shore loudly. In the thin mist, a few black shadows came over in the blink of an eye, and their figures suddenly stopped. One of them cried out and fell to the riverside to vomit.
The three Z6 users following closely behind were also feeling bad. Their faces were pale, and they were either squatting or lying on the rocks. When they heard the sound of vomiting, their stomachs began to churn. They felt as if the world was spinning around them, and the pain was worse than airsickness or carsickness. They groaned weakly, and when they saw the figure in a blue shirt walking by, they quickly closed their mouths and gathered over there like obedient children.
Lu Liangsheng walked to the riverside, looked at Gao Tianqiu who was vomiting over there, shook his head, lifted his sleeves and sat down, "This reaction is not much different from Old Sun's."
A breeze blew past Gao Tianqiu, who was squatting on the lakeside and vomiting. The gentle breeze penetrated into his mouth and nose, and gently went down his throat and internal organs, which made him feel much better. He wiped the vomit from the corner of his mouth, sat down on the ground, and thanked the scholar who was sitting on a stone not far away.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu... for saving us. How did Bai Ning let you bring us out?"
"I made some sense." Lu Liangsheng withdrew his hand and didn't want to say more about the process.
"That… "
Gao Tianqiu recovered a little and felt much better. He naturally thought more, "Is the purified red stone still in his possession?"
"exist."
"Then why..."
The dark water was surging. Lu Liangsheng on the shore looked at him and put his hands on his knees under his robe. "This man actually has great kindness in his heart, and there is a deep cause and effect hidden. Moreover, the evil star is entangled with him. If we take it out by force, it will harm his life and ruin the great kindness that has happened. I can't do it."
Previously, I used my magic power to explore the memory of a man named Bai Ning, and saw his past. I felt sorry for his experience, and also saw what this man would do in the future, which would have a far-reaching impact. If he were to die in his hands now, I am afraid that there would be no one with such a kind heart and cruel actions to take over.
How bad can a person with good intentions go
Over there, Gao Tianqiu was completely confused and didn't understand what was being said. What good and evil, cause and effect, and so on? If someone else had talked to him about it, he would have had to use his professional knowledge to educate him. But now, it was Z6's ancestor who was talking about it, so he could only nod and agree, and even felt that it made sense.
"Although I don't quite understand, what Mr. Lu said must make sense. So what should we do next?"
Lu Liangsheng smiled and patted his knees.
"What to do? Nothing to do. Once you are rescued, this matter should be over. You do what they do, and they do what they do. Each of you should do your own thing and cooperate with each other as before. Everyone has different paths, so they do different things. If you magnify it, it's the same for Z6 and Z9."
The night gradually melted into the blue sky, and the sound of the wind blew across the river. Lu Liangsheng, who was speaking, paused, and his robe fluttered twice. He looked past Gao Tianqiu in front of him, and saw a layer of white mist rising above the calm water. The few people with special abilities, including Gao Tianqiu, suddenly shrank their necks and felt the air around them suddenly drop.
"What's going on? It's almost dawn, why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"Who knows... I just want to leave whenever I want."
While several people with special abilities were talking in low voices, Lu Liangsheng looked at the vast mist in the distance, a smile appeared on his lips, he stood up from the stone, and walked past Gao Tianqiu.
"Can you guys go on your own now?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and Gao Tianqiu stood up as well. Just as he was about to say something, he saw in the corner of his eye a figure walking in the mist on the river beach from afar, as if floating towards them. He immediately understood the meaning of Lu Liangsheng's words, and hurriedly called out to the three people with special abilities who were gathered nearby and still looking at the mist to leave.
Climbing up the river bank and looking back from time to time, he saw Lu Liangsheng walking forward on the fine stones of the river beach. Before he raised his hand, the figure floating on the opposite side raised his hands from afar and bowed heroically.
"The City God of the Human World, Zhou Yu, pays homage to Master Lu!"
"Haha, the governor is also using this trick. I used this ceremony before, but it was too awkward."
Seeing his old friend again, Lu Liangsheng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He extended his hand and said, "Commander-in-chief, please sit down by the river and talk with me."
"Whatever you ask, it's naturally a good idea, hahahaha!"
Behind the man and the spirit, two chairs rose from the ground, with a small round table in the middle. As soon as the two sat down, two cups of tea suddenly appeared out of thin air on the table, emitting a wafting fragrance.
A few people on the distant river bank who were looking back vaguely heard the word "Chenghuang". The tables, chairs and tea sets that appeared out of thin air made their eyes widen.
"Did you hear what happened just now? The person sitting next to Mr. Lu... called himself City God Zhou Yu."
"Is that Zhou Yu from the Three Kingdoms?"
"Can you find the second one?"
Someone nudged Gao Tianqiu with his elbow and pointed at the two figures sitting by the river drinking tea and laughing. "Team Leader Gao, you are very knowledgeable. Can you explain this using scientific methods?"
Gao Tianqiu, who had just come back to his senses from Zhenhai, glanced at the man.
"The gods have all come out, so what's so strange about a city god coming out? What a fuss! Let's go back to the station."
After scolding them a few times, he straightened his body involuntarily, thinking of the rumored city god coming to pay a visit to Mr. Lu. He glanced over there twice, and urged the three people to leave quickly. On the way, he kept reminding them, "Don't spread the news of what happened today." "... If you spread it, it will be considered feudal superstition." And so on.
The figure went away, and the sky gradually brightened. The morning sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, casting sparkling light on the river surface. Amid the sound of the rushing water, Lu Liangsheng on the shore took a sip of tea and put it down.
"Before I came back to the human world, I went to pay a visit to the governor. Wuhu City God Xu Sheng said that your temple was demolished and your spirit temporarily resided in the Wuhu City God Temple. Have you recovered now?"
"It will take some time. I sensed Mr. Lu using his magic power last night, so I came to take a look."
The two men were dressed in casual clothes with wide sleeves, just like two scholars in ancient times sitting by the river, discussing poetry and songs, with laughter ringing out from time to time.
