"Did you see what just happened in the room?" Lin Gutou asked.
"I can't see clearly." The woman in white said, "It was as if there was fog in the room just now."
"Fog?" Lin Gutou said, "I guess it's not fog... it's some kind of illusion. They don't want people outside to see what's happening inside the house."
"I'm not that curious." The woman in white sneered. Lin Gutou guessed with great interest, "What do you think they will talk about?"
"You will die quickly if you do this. Didn't your senior tell you not to ask about random things?" The woman in white said, "As for this incident, the timing of the Li family's head coming here was too wrong. This kind of thing should be done in private."
"Yes." Lin Gutou said, "Actually, it's not a good thing for anyone to come to see Yuan now. The Patriarch of the Li family is coming now, probably because there is something that must be resolved."
"What grudge do they have?" The woman in white shook her head. "Two old monsters, it's enough for them to fight. Can't they just sit down and talk it out?"
"That depends on what their feud is about." Lin Gutou said, "I originally thought that their feud wasn't that big of a deal..."
“But now it seems quite big.”
…
Everything in the room seemed foggy. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know what was going on. She just took a puff and the whole room suddenly became like this.
This should actually be a very strange thing, but Yuan Yuanyuan didn't think about it at this time, and even inexplicably felt that this situation was more in line with the current atmosphere.
In the smoke-filled room, everything seemed to be happening in a dream. It seemed real, but also... fake.
"Maybe you think what I did was wrong, but in that situation, what did I do wrong?" the man opposite said slowly.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at him.
"Compared to what I remember, your face has a bad smell." The man's voice became slower and slower.
He has a pair of beautiful hands. In Yuan Yuanyuan's memory, these hands are even more beautiful than Si Qun's.
At this time, the index fingers of these hands began to curl up gently, making slight joint sounds.
“Is this what you mean… Have I changed a lot compared to before?” Yuan Yuanyuan asked.
"You once said that the expression on my face was always hypocritical, insincere, and my smile was fake. You also said that when I wanted to kill someone, my expression was very nice, but my eyes were very ugly." The man said, "But now, we both smile exactly the same way."
There was a strong smile on his face. Just now, his face was full of the kindness of an old man. When he turned back into a young man, his kindness on this young face had a very warm and sunny feeling.
Yuan Yuanyuan was leaning lazily in the chair, as if she had no bones. After hearing these words, she gently picked up the pipe placed aside and took another puff.
"So you've gradually become the kind of person you once hated. How do you feel now?" The man's smile never stopped. "I remember telling you that your face is like a fox's. It's fine if you have a sincere expression on your face, but once you have hatred and hypocrisy... you will become more mean than an ordinary person."
"Your expression right now is very mean."
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Yuanyuan, and there was something in his eyes that made Yuan Yuanyuan very uncomfortable.
A smile, not a smile.
It was like a mockery of her.
The atmosphere in the room froze for a second, yet it was as if nothing had happened.
Yuan Yuanyuan exhaled gently, letting the smoke fill the air and her mouth.
She also let out the foul air in her chest.
…
I now…
How mean is the smile
…
Yuan Yuanyuan knew that her face looked very bad... even though she was smiling.
No normal person would smile like this. Even if she didn't look, she knew that her smile was particularly strange and beautiful.
She felt that the corners of her mouth had been stretched to an abnormal level, but she felt that she should smile like this, as this smile matched her current mood.
This kind of smile itself is like a feminine dagger, carrying a sense of falsehood and disguise.
She doesn't like to treat people with a pretend attitude because she herself is tired of pretending.
So she always treats everything around her with a realistic attitude, even if sometimes this reality has to be put in quotation marks, and sometimes this reality makes her uncomfortable.
However, now that things had come to this, when she felt that she couldn't even suppress the horrible smile in her heart, she inexplicably felt a little disgusted with herself.
No matter what a person pretends to be... he has an original sin.
This original sin will not change because of your purpose or reason.
Strangely enough, this feeling of hatred never entangles others, but the hater himself... It seems that the more people think about it, the more negative emotions they have in their hearts.
It never punishes those who never consider it... It only punishes those who try to understand it. Isn't that strange
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was thinking too much... but it didn't seem like too much. But she still had that smile on her face.
It hasn't changed from beginning to end, just like a mask.
"Have you been waiting for me?" the man asked. "When I came in, I saw you staring at the door, and you didn't seem to feel anything strange. I'm sorry I'm late. Actually, I didn't want to come, but it seems I have to."
Yuan Yuanyuan gently added a little demon pearl powder to her pipe, and placed the small wooden box containing the demon pearl powder next to her hand. "Are you here alone... Where is your wife?"
"She's at home. She's not feeling well. Do you want to see her?"
Yuan Yuanyuan's smile suddenly became even sweeter, as if she had heard news from her lover whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Her voice was very soft, like a dream, "How can that be possible... I'm afraid that my wife will be frightened by someone as reckless as me when she sees me."
After hearing this, the man shook his head and smiled, then turned his gaze to the stairs on the second floor.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from the opposite side that chilled him to the bone.
"What are you looking for, looking around?"
The atmosphere in the room was still again. The man looked back and saw that the smile on the face of the person sitting on the chair opposite him had disappeared completely at some point.
He was staring at him.
At some point, his head lowered slightly, so he could only look at people from above.
This angle inexplicably carries a sense of sinisterness.
Like a poisonous snake in the gutter, the whites of its eyes turned out and its two shrunken eyeballs stared at people intently.
…
The man was stunned, then slowly retracted his gaze.
The person opposite slowly raised his head, and that smiling expression suddenly appeared on his face again.
Suddenly, a strange atmosphere appeared in the room. I didn't know how to describe it, but it was more depressing than before.
Yuan Yuanyuan was clearly upset just now, but at this moment she suddenly started laughing again.
There is no transition in the expression.
... like a mentally ill person.
She was smiling just now, and she is still smiling now. However, her smile at this moment would definitely scare everyone who has seen the whole process of her face changing.
The man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, and he asked, "So... is that true?"
What's up
Yuan Yuanyuan should have answered like this.
But she suddenly raised her head and looked at the man opposite her, "Has this matter... reached your ears?"
The man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.
He sighed for the first time since entering the room.
"What are your plans next?"
"I don't know." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the smoke hovering in the sky and said lazily, "Why don't you guess?"
"You weren't like this before." The man said, "Although I don't know how you managed to survive... I still can't believe that you would become this kind of person."
"What kind of person have I become?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, "Same as you? Aren't you happy about this?"
"I'm a little disappointed in you." The man said, "I've seen a lot of people change, but I never thought it was you. Even though I've always hated you, I didn't think you would change, so now I can't eliminate the disappointment in my heart."
"Disappointed?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, "Do you think you can say this word to me?"
"Then why did you come back?"
"I don't want to come back. They cried and begged me to come back." Yuan Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly and exhaled a puff of cigarette lightly. Her tone was mocking and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She turned her head and looked at him with the same eyes that the man had just looked at her. "Don't you know these things?"
"Oh, what a good brother." The man suddenly sneered.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Yuan Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the chair, slammed her pipe hard on the table.
Her eyes were now bloodshot.
Why... can he say such things without any scruples
She is angry! Even she is angry!
She, who had never even met the man in person, was already extremely angry at this moment!
And why can the person opposite... actually say it in such a tone
"Be respectful to me." The man's fingers squeezed even louder. "You stray dog, are you going to leave City C?"
“Not leaving.”
"I'll ask you again, will you leave?"
“I’m not leaving!”
The man stood up in an instant. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't even see how he moved. She just felt her head suddenly shaken and suddenly she choked on a mouthful of blood.
Her ears buzzed and the tinnitus became louder, but the smoke in the room suddenly began to slowly rotate.
"You dare to threaten me?" Yuan Yuanyuan raised her head, feeling a burning pain in the corners of her eyes.
The look in her eyes was clearly beyond the other party's expectations, so the man opposite was stunned again.
Yuan Yuanyuan herself didn't know where she got the strength from at this moment, and she directly took out her dagger.
At that moment, the fog in the room suddenly turned red.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt like she didn't know what she was doing. She looked at the face opposite her that looked so similar to Si Qun, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.
Scratch it!
Scratch it!
She raised the knife in her hand, and her hand speed reached a level she had never imagined before.
The man noticed it in advance and hid behind.
However, the knife still cut a hole in his left cheek, from the corner of his eye to his ear.
Yuan Yuanyuan had never felt such a refreshing feeling when seeing blood... It was so refreshing that every cell in her body was trembling.
At that moment... she felt as if she had turned into a shadow... a dark but unscrupulous shadow.
No one can stop her!
No one can resist her!
Time seemed to stand still for a second, and then it seemed like a long time had passed.
There was a flash of silver light, and the knife passed through and killed the man.
…
Yuan Yuanyuan appeared behind the man. At some point, the blood-red color in the room had reached its peak.
The hair of the man behind her had turned completely white.
"There's something... It might be a little funny if I tell you this." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the blood on the blade.
She looked at the moonlight outside, and through the house, it seemed as if it was covered with a layer of blood mist, "But I still want to say..."
"Be a human being."
…
Lin Gutou and the woman in white outside almost leaned forward to take a look. The two of them were acting stealthy, and one of them was holding a small kaleidoscope-like object in his hand.
"Did you see what they were doing?" Lin Guotou asked.
"No... why don't you look for yourself?"
"I can't fucking see, what's going on? Why did it suddenly turn red?" Lin Gutou said, looking at the blood-red window.
"Did a fight break out?" the woman in white suddenly asked.
"That's really possible." Lin Gutou said, "It's not that serious. Why do we need to do anything about the father-in-law and son-in-law? Should we tell the city lord or the Li family?"
"Tell the city lord," said the woman in white. "As for the Li family... let them know too. If someone dies here, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
"That makes sense." Lin Gutou nodded, "You've thought it through."
Actually... beneath that black sky... there is another black sky.
It’s just that the darkness was so natural, so natural that no one could see it.
This "dark sky" has been squatting here in the dark for an hour, hiding secretly and not daring to show its head.
Liu An looked at the red in the room and listened to the conversation between several people above his head.
He wondered secretly... What happened to the boss? What the hell is the Li family
