Chapter 244 The soul returns
Chapter 244 The soul returns
I got out of the car, locked it, entered the elevator, exited the elevator, put on slippers and walked into the living room. I sat at the dining table and watched my girlfriend eat while watching TikTok on her phone to check the test information. Everything was the same as last time.
"What's wrong? You've been staring at me." An Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and blinked innocently.
Lan Shiwen smiled and said, "You've been staying up late lately, so you have dark circles under your eyes."
"Hey...is it obvious?" An Xiaoyu took out a small mirror from her pocket and looked at herself. It was indeed obvious, so she quickly put the mirror down and covered her face with her hands, whispering, "Don't look at it, don't look at it. Dark circles are so ugly, you are not allowed to look at them!"
"If you don't want to look, then don't look. Who cares?" Lan Shiwen still smiled and continued eating.
"Ah~ No, why are you really not going to look at me when I say I won't?" An Xiaoyu suddenly got anxious, puffed up her cheeks and angrily said that he was a big pig's hoof, with a face full of grievances: "You start to dislike me before we even get married, then if we get married and have children in the future, and my figure is out of shape, will you still abandon my wife and children? Hum..."
Lan Shiwen was stunned for a moment. This time, An Xiaoyu did not run to him and turn his neck. Was it because he was the one who took the initiative to mention the dark circles under his eyes?
An Xiaoyu felt more and more aggrieved. Seeing his unhurried manner, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall. She said with red eyes: "Why don't you say anything? If you abandon me in the future, I will... I will go to your workplace and cry with my child..."
Lan Shiwen laughed in silence, moved a chair to sit next to her, and gently put his arm around An Xiaoyu's shoulders: "Why are you getting more and more excessive? When you see short sleeves, you think of white arms. You're just saying you've made love with someone and then abandoned them without a clue."
It is said that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy. An Xiaoyu was so stupid even before she was pregnant. What would happen if she really had a child?
Fortunately, An Xiaoyu's good thing is that she is easy to please. After Lan Shiwen hugged her and comforted her for a while, she burst into laughter. She was very easy to coax.
Perhaps because she was thirsty from crying, An Xiaoyu, who had been coaxed, stood up from the table and walked towards the refrigerator in the kitchen behind: "Big pig's hoof, do you want some milk? Or Coke?"
"Milk is fine." Lan Shiwen said without turning his head.
"Hey... there's only one carton of milk left. I want some milk, too." An Xiaoyu's voice came from the kitchen behind him: "Then let's split it between us. Can you go get two cups?"
"Okay." Lan Shiwen stood up, his face darkening silently.
——The small round table with glasses on it was behind him.
"If I turn around to get the cup now, will it trigger that unknown instant death rule?" Lan Shiwen thought about it and decided not to try.
"Xiao Lan?" An Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen with a box of milk and looked at Lan Shiwen standing by the dining table, a little puzzled: "Didn't I tell you to get a cup? Why didn't you get one?"
"There's a cup in the kitchen, just take it." Lan Shiwen said casually.
"The cups in the kitchen have been in the cupboard for a long time. If you want to use them, you have to wash them first. Why don't you just use the cups on the table?" An Xiaoyu said as she walked to the small round table and scolded him: "You are too lazy to even take a cup.
Lan Shiwen smiled apologetically, and calmly pulled out a red thread with his left hand from his pocket.
The red line was thin and long, and its bright red color was so gorgeous that it seemed as if it had been soaked in blood until now being pulled out, and it was tightly wrapped around Lan Shiwen's fingers.
thump.
A cute head with a gentle face fell to the ground. The red thread wrapped around Lan Shiwen's fingers and also appeared on An Xiaoyu's snow-white neck, separating the head and body of this delicate and innocent girl. Her soft body fell against the wall, and her head with long hair scattered rolled to Lan Shiwen's feet.
She is dead.
Lan Shiwen felt cold all over after witnessing this scene.
He lowered his head stiffly and saw An Xiaoyu's face, which was pale due to excessive blood loss. His facial features were full of fear and confusion. The moment he saw this face, Lan Shiwen understood one thing: he had killed the wrong person.
"How... is it possible?" Lan Shiwen, with the red rope wrapped around his left hand, took two steps back and his thigh hit the edge of the dining table.
How could this be? How could this be possible? An Xiaoyu was not Yu Ziqian in disguise, and I just killed her by accident.
"No, no, Xiaoyu, you won't die. I won't let you die. I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. I'm sorry. I won't let you die. I won't abandon you. You won't die. I won't let you cry alone while holding your child..."
Lan Shiwen's eyes were blank, and he was murmuring as if in a daze. His hands, which were wrapped in a red rope, were slowly raised to his neck. An imperceptibly thin red line was stretched taut in the air and quietly cut through Lan Shiwen's head.
he died.
At 11:10 am, Lan Shiwen had just parked his car in the parking lot downstairs and was preparing to go home for dinner.
A dead leaf butterfly quietly stopped on a green tree downstairs in the community, observing the car that had just been parked in the parking lot. Through the privacy glass, it could not see clearly what was inside the car, and the tightly closed car door did not move for a long time.
"Interesting." Ning Zhe glanced at the gate of the community. The iron gate slowly opened, but the car door was still closed. "How many times have you come back now, Lan Shiwen?"
Ning Zhe was very curious about this question.
After receiving the news of Bai Fugui's death, Ning Zhe did one thing at the first time - rush to Yunzhou as quickly as possible to steal Lan Shiwen's identity and the ability to predict the future.
Fenwu escaped with Bai Fugui's death and hid in the dark again. This was a very dangerous sign.
After this period of contact, Ning Zhe roughly understood Fen Wu's personality and behavior style. This person is extremely cautious. He will not release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. At the same time, he pays great attention to protecting himself. Even if he wanted to hunt Ning Zhe in prison, he let a brainwashed puppet do it instead of doing it himself.
What is certain is that Fenwu is taking advantage of his weak period.
The original weird flaws are getting worse and worse, and the countdown of life is about to come to an end, but the external weirdness that can make up for this flaw has not yet been mastered. This is the most vulnerable time for an ascender. Fenwu always has enough patience to wait for the arrival of the weak period before taking action, harvesting the enemy while ensuring that he does not bleed and is unscathed.
Such a terrifying person is lurking in the dark, quietly waiting for your weakness. Even someone as tough and determined as Ning Zhe would feel uneasy.
So is there any way to alleviate or even reverse this situation?
--Predict future.
So Ning Zhe came to Yundu, and Taiyi, who was completed by Jueyuan, was completely liberated. He no longer had to worry about the impact of other people's memories on his self, and he could unscrupulously steal Lan Shiwen's identity from the knowledge of a large number of informed people within the government, in order to steal the ability to predict the future.
Lan Shiwen is deeply tied to the government forces in Yundu, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
As an ascender with an official background, Lan Shiwen can mobilize more resources than any other individual. However, on the other hand, too many high-ranking officials or internal sources know of Lan Shiwen's existence and are familiar with the rules of predicting the future that he controls. This greatly facilitates Taiyi's performance.
However, after stealing enough slices of Lan Shiwen's identity, Ning Zhe discovered...
He simply couldn't predict the future.
