Chapter 103 The Knife Stabbed in the Back
Chapter 103 The Knife Stabbed in the Back
Bai Jianxiao was speechless for a long time, feeling distressed. If Lu Zhiqiong's plan was successful, maybe they would know what's in the paradise now!
"Most of the information has been damaged, leaving only a few incomprehensible words." Lu Zhiqiong thought of something, and actually smiled, "Fortunately, the part about you is still preserved, so I can meet you." You. This is my luck."
"What's so funny? If I were you, I would definitely beat Tang Yuan and the others when I went out."
"Well, I thought so too." Lu Zhiqiong said, "But when I came out of the paradise, things changed a little——"
As members of the shelter will never forget, it was February 2nd.
In the early hours of the morning, the tower uncharacteristically rose to a high altitude, and the tower was as bright as lightning wrapped in silver.The network of the shelter was completely paralyzed, and everyone felt dizzy and nauseated to varying degrees.
On that day, the leaders of each faction were extremely nervous, and their actions came and went like the wind, wrapped in a chill. On the morning of February 2, the sky was not clear, and dark clouds surrounded the tower like a whirlpool. Tang Yuan stood under the tower and looked up. Amor and Lu Zhiqiong were not there. He was the only person present who could make a decision.
"Are you really going to do this?" Qi Lingrui asked with a trembling voice, his eyes were red.But as always, no one listened to her at all, so she could only pinch the corner of her clothes nervously, "The vice president issued an order, saying that no matter what happens, you can't get close to the tower..."
"Do you just want to watch Amor die like this?" Jia Ling yelled at her unkindly, "If this continues, sooner or later he will be killed by Lu Zhiqiong!"
"The vice president's life is at stake. Rescuing him is a priority now!" Yue Chuan's deep voice sounded, and his bloodshot eyes slowly scanned the surrounding companions, "Are you so afraid of him? Just like this Watching him misbehaving, always lying at his feet like a dog?!"
"You have always hated him and wanted to take his place. Of course you would say that at this time!" Lingrui summoned up his courage and shouted, "But I don't agree with your idea. The vice president must have his own reasons for doing this... …Well!"
Yue Chuan grabbed her neck, and the veins on his forehead throbbed, "Say it again? Who do I want to replace?"
"Isn't it?" Lingrui was picked up on the spot by him, coughing and cursing, "You just want to take his place next to Amor!"
Yue Chuan exerted all his strength, only to hear a crisp "click", Lingrui's neck was snapped, and he tilted to one side.Her body slowly slipped to the ground, leaving only a faint breath.She slowly climbed two steps forward, blocked the only way to the tower, and shouted: "Do you want to rebel?! Unless you step on my dead body, don't think about it!"
Coughing violently, she could only see her former companions standing aside, like a pack of wolves ready to go, with urgency and anxiety hidden in the silence.She suddenly felt her waist and abdomen being stepped on heavily, Tang Yuan walked over her body as if he didn't notice it.
It's an unspoken signal.Then, Yue Chuan stepped over her and walked towards the tower with a clear purpose.Silver Snake glanced at her with some reluctance, and walked around.
Jia Ling kicked her, but it wasn't enough, and spit on her, "It's obviously a rabbit, but it's like licking a dog."
She is a rabbit.Lu Zhiqiong picked her up from the game, how old was she then? About 14 years old, always crying with red eye circles, Lu Zhiqiong called her a rabbit - he raised every kid he picked up as an animal, which seemed to cure his social phobia a little bit.
Unlike everyone else, she likes Lu Zhiqiong more than Amor, she likes the brows that Lu Zhiqiong frowned when thinking, and she likes Lu Zhiqiong's open smile when he fights.Counting from the first time she was rescued, she has been rescued by Lu Zhiqiong 9 times in total. Once the flames almost burned the man standing in front of her to ashes, but he was as silent and firm as a mountain, just standing there , block everything.Lingrui was guarded by him behind him, weeping in the burning flames and boiling emotions, and vowed to follow that fearless figure for the rest of his life.
As for the others, they will only be saved by Lu Zhiqiong more times.They hate fighting, blood, and everything in the game. All memories about Lu Zhiqiong are dirty, bloody, and violent.Everyone is the same, no one likes these things, what do they prefer?They like to listen to Amor read poems for them in the early morning birdsong, and they like to drink tea and chat in Amor's small courtyard in the evening sunset.They like Amor's warm and firm embrace when they are sad and desperate, and they like his innocent blue eyes, which are as pure as a god and can't be desecrated.
Where was Lu Zhiqiong at that time?He always seemed out of place, standing aside with his hands in his pockets and a sarcastic smile on his lips.Like a vulture hovering around, ready to take away their happiness at any time.
Lingrui only likes to peek at him, even his most embarrassing and ugly posture.Sometimes she even imagined that if she could stand beside him, it would be nice to relieve his loneliness a little bit, but she knew that she was not qualified to stand there, and that cold man's heart would never be open to others.
"Boom—" There was a loud noise above his head. Lingrui raised his head and saw the tower shaking in the air like a candle in the wind. The impenetrable gate of the tower suddenly burst, and all the abnormalities disappeared in an instant.It was as if the lid of the steamer had been lifted, and she suddenly felt her eyes and ears cleared up, and her breathing became smoother.At this point, most of the shelter's members don't even know what's going on.
She slowly got up from the ground and wiped off the dust on her face and body.She saw Tang Yuan walking towards herself with the unconscious Amor in his arms. It was the first time she saw Amor's face so pale, his vitality was exhausted due to excessive consumption, and his sweat flowed like a small stream. As if trapped in a deep nightmare, his expression was distorted, and many meaningless syllables spit out anxiously.
Lingrui also couldn't help but feel a bit of fear: If they rescued a little later, would something really happen to Amor?She couldn't believe it but had to admit that Lu Zhiqiong really didn't care about Amor at all. If sacrificing Amor could achieve his goal, he would definitely do it.
This belated recognition made Lingrui's heart ache dullly, and she followed Silver Snake blankly for a while, Silver Snake turned around and said embarrassedly: "Don't mind, everyone has no choice .”
"I don't mind." Lingrui shook his head wearily.
"In the next period of time, you should find a place to retreat and practice, and don't get involved in these things." Silver Snake kindly gave advice, but it was a pity that Lingrui didn't understand his subtext at that time.
On the evening of February 2, a gloomy night, Amor suddenly woke up from his lethargy.He looked around in a panic, and found that this was not the back of the tower at all, so he closed his eyes dejectedly.
The people who stayed by his side all night were also shocked, and they all expressed concern: "Wake up, wake up!"
"President, are you feeling alright?"
"What did Lu Zhiqiong do to you?!"
"You... ruined everything..." Amor gritted his teeth, and suddenly punched the ground angrily, struggling to stand up, and walked towards the door.
Silver Snake and the others had never seen the president like this before, and they all froze in place in shock.Tang Yuan stood by the door with folded arms, "Where are you going?"
Amor stepped forward without saying a word, raised his hand and slapped him across the face. The sound of "snap" echoed crisply in the silent room.Tang Yuan tilted his head to one side and did not move for a long time, a red palm print appeared on his face.
Amor rushed out of the door, stumbled and ran towards one direction, everyone quickly followed, Lingrui was at the end, and shouted at Tang Yuan: "Look, I told you not to do this! I never I have never seen the president so angry!"
"If his deepest anger can only reach this level," Tang Yuan slowly grinned, "Then how can he stop us?"
Lingrui felt chills down his spine from his laughter, and left the room almost as if fleeing, and ran in the direction Amor left.
At the end of the road, she saw a sight she would never forget.
That place was one of Lu Zhiqiong's secret rooms in the asylum, hidden among dense forests and grass.Lu Zhiqiong just woke up from the game, but a strange change occurred in his body.Behind him, a pair of black wings of crows slowly spread out, like a raging night, covering all things and stars, like a pure evil that was only born in the night, it will disappear as soon as it touches the light of dawn.
But at this moment, the dazzling halo above his head was like the outline of a full moon, exuding bright light, illuminating his face like a merciless god.The dark eyes were also dyed golden, like flames lost in the wilderness.Such extreme evil and extreme purity appear on the same person without any conflict, like someone wearing the crown of the Son of God for a ragged prisoner, sin and holiness are equally obvious.
The wings stretched to the extreme, the branches and leaves of the trees were smoothly cut by the soft feathers, and the fragments of the night fell slowly.However, the astonishing wingspan only lasted for less than a moment, and then fell powerlessly. Lu Zhiqiong only had time to wake up for a moment, and then fell into a deep sleep.The moment Lingrui met his eyes, Lingrui felt that his heart was going to be broken. There was no anger, no hatred, or even a trace of blame in those eyes, only deep sorrow, as dead ashes.
The wings fell to the ground, and Lu Zhiqiong fell into Amor's arms.Amor embraced him deeply, and under the moonlight the two seemed to be one.
Amor took over everything with unprecedented toughness. He hid Lu Zhiqiong in the tower, and Lingrui couldn't find out any news for many days.Tang Yuan and the others were also locked out of the door. Fierce quarrels and silent confrontation shrouded the shelter. Lingrui knew that many things were irreversible. When Lu Zhiqiong appeared in front of everyone in the form of an angel, , the last trace of trust between each other has collapsed.
Although Lu Zhiqiong said he didn't remember, who knows what he did in the paradise?His appearance in the form of an angel is an unquestionable betrayal of mankind.How could Tang Yuan and the others allow such an angel, such a person who repeatedly hurt Amor, to stay there again?
It can't go on like this, Lingrui is caught in the middle and almost can't breathe.She needs an answer from Lu Zhiqiong, and she also needs a promise from Tang Yuan and the others. Lingrui believes that she is the most selfless of all. She sincerely hopes that all broken things can be restored. She must do it. something.
Lingrui met Tang Yuan first, and that day was February 2th. Tang Yuan told her: "An open and honest conversation? Of course. Lu Zhiqiong would like to see me, that would be the best."
"You have to swear not to hurt him!" Lingrui said.
"How could I hurt him?" Tang Yuan felt funny, "We can't beat him together—not to mention he has become an angel."
"That's not what it means," Lingrui said, "I mean, you can't break his heart."
"Will he be sad too?"
"Of course! Why can't you feel it?" Lingrui propped himself up on the table in frustration, "Why can't you feel it? He will be sad too..."
"Don't worry. I like him very much. I like Amor first, and I like him second." Tang Yuan patted her shoulder slowly, with a strangely happy tone, "I don't want to make him sad, I hope He is always happy and always with us."
"Please tell him, let's meet at the south wall tomorrow night."
2 month 13 number.
Lingrui entered the tower, and found that Lu Zhiqiong was in good spirits, lying on the ground, typing on the computer in front of him, and didn't look up when he came.The long wings trailed behind, shining softly and brightly, covering most of the room.
"What are you doing?" Lingrui asked curiously.
"The fate of the name is right," Lu Zhiqiong turned the screen to show her. He entered "Lu Zhiqiong" in the first name box, and entered the word "Bai" in the second box.
"Oh..." Lingrui's face was full of black lines, and he suddenly felt that the worries of the past few days had fed the dog. Isn't this a lot of leisure and time to play with this!
Lu Zhiqiong happily pressed the Enter key, and a prompt box popped up: "Is there such a name as him?"
Lu Zhiqiong was not knocked down, and re-typed the word "Baibai". This time, the result of the divination was: "If you are connected with each other, you will not be envious of immortals. Who knows who will appreciate the moon in the middle of the night."
"Look! It's not enviable to be connected, tsk tsk," Lu Zhiqiong closed the computer, put his hands behind his head, and smiled, "Perfect."
Lingrui felt that if he didn't drag him out to bask in the sun, his head would be full of shiitake mushrooms.She told her why she came here, and couldn't help but confide the emotions hidden in her heart. The more she talked, the more excited she became, and the circles of her eyes became red again.
Lu Zhiqiong listened to her patiently, and slowly rubbed her head: "Rabbit, among these children, I trust you the most. Although you were taught by me, your heart is surprisingly firm and kind. It’s not like they just learned my extremes, which is nice.”
Caught off guard by being praised, Lingrui was a little embarrassed: "What kind of advantage is that, I'm the worst at learning..."
"No, no, no," Lu Zhiqiong repeatedly denied, "Don't underestimate 'mind'. There are thousands of people who are capable, but how many of them have a strong heart, and can maintain kindness while being strong? Especially These rubbish games force us not to go bad. I have not regretted it so far, because I am honored to allow many people, including you, to be innocent and happy while living."
"I, I..." Lingrui was moved for a while, summoned up the courage to finally ask the biggest question in his heart, "But isn't Master Amor just such a person?! He is far stronger than us, and he has given us a lot Courage, why don't you like him?"
"He." Mentioning Amor, Lu Zhiqiong's eyebrows suddenly became more disdainful, "Do you think he did it by his own strength? He is just the light set off by the shadow, if not I'm so dark, he won't look so bright."
Lingrui was dumbfounded by this metaphor. She knew that this conflict might not be resolved for a while, so she took the opportunity to propose a meeting.
"Ah, of course, I will go." Lu Zhiqiong readily agreed, "Will you be at the Wall of Thorns tomorrow night? If it was someone else, I would definitely not agree, but I am willing to trust you."
"Great." Lingrui breathed a sigh of relief, at least the attitudes of both parties were kind, and she saw the hope of reconciliation.
She got up to bid farewell, Lu Zhiqiong lay back, typing on the keyboard.Just when she was about to go out, she suddenly heard Lu Zhiqiong say: "But, I got a bad prophecy, saying that I will encounter a knife from behind or something..."
Lingrui's breathing stopped suddenly, and before her brain understood the meaning of this sentence, her hands began to tremble unconsciously.
"To be honest, I'm not afraid of prophecy." Lu Zhiqiong raised his head and smiled at her. "If there is a knife stabbed in the back, I have prepared a gift for it."
"Rabbit, don't be afraid, let us wait quietly for the moment to open the present."
