13. Tide
At night in every city, there are both brightly lit streets and dark and quiet corners.
Beijing, a construction site under development.
There are many buildings that have been built, but only cement is applied, and the sky is like a frame made of building blocks.
This dark night has an opposite contrast with the flashing neon lights in the city in the distance, but it is not abrupt.
Because after this area was completed, it would be a bustling and noisy urban area soon.
A silver-white sedan stopped in front of a building and the light went out.
A figure got out of the car, opened the trunk, and carried the unconscious man from inside.
The man seemed to have no weight in his hand, and the figure just carried it in one hand and walked into the building with his feet.
"Bang."
The figure was thrown away, and the unconscious man fell to the ground.
There were some unknown puddles on the empty first floor. The man lay down in the water and then coughed rapidly.
"You!" After the man woke up, his eyes widened, and he quickly stood up but ran to the side.
The previous figure didn't care at all. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and the old god was on the spot.
A faint fire lit up, a baseball cap, a mask hanging onto his chin, and that very plain face.
Ji Lian took a sip of cigarette and then coughed gently.
He wiped the corner of his mouth, a black bloodshot, thick, like endless night.
"The guy who came out of the underworld is still as tough as ever."
Ji Lian sighed and shook his hand.
A muffled sound came from the direction where the man ran away before, and then a strong wind gushed into it.
The wind blew the wide coat on Ji Lian's body rustled. He narrowed his eyes and watched the man being thrown to the ground again, falling into the puddle, splashing out a splash of water.
"Tell me." Ji Lian sat backwards, as if there was an unseen chair in the air. He crossed his legs and his feet in shiny leather shoes were shaking around.
The man raised his head, his wet hair stuck to his forehead, his face was pale, but his eyes were not desperate, but full of ferocity.
"I'm really unhappy to see your face." Ji Lian spitted out a sip of cigarette, "Mad."
The smoke drifted in the air and then condensed, and suddenly slapped the man on the ground like a palm.
A crisp sound is conveyed in the empty building.
"Cough cough." The man coughed a few times, but no blood flowed out of the cracked corners of his mouth. Instead, a black mist began to float outward, which was not noticeable in the darkness.
But obviously, Ji Lian was not surprised by this.
"Since you have escaped from the underworld, you definitely don't want to go back. In this way, let's make a deal. If you give up, I will let you go. As long as you don't violate me in the future, I will pretend that I can't see it. What?"
Ji Lian twisted the cigarette butts he had finished smoking in the air beside him, and it seemed that there was an ashtray in the air. The cigarette butts became distorted and Mars gradually went out.
"Can you please give me a happy word?" Ji Lian saw that he didn't say anything, and said directly: "You should know the purpose of me bringing you here. You know more clearly what this place is than me."
The man leaning against the wall couldn't help but tremble, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes after looking left and right.
Ordinary people may think this is a building under development, but they don’t know that it is a portal to the Yinsi, which folds the space like the entrance of the small cave heaven.
Of course, ordinary people cannot enter this portal and cannot discover it. After the construction of the property is completed and ordinary people move in, the vitality of living people is filled here, and the portal to the underworld will naturally disappear.
But now, there is still a way to the underworld. He also understood the meaning of the man in front of him. If he did not cooperate, he would send himself back to the underworld.
Ji Lian looked at the fear flashing across the face of the man in front of him and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Although he has made a face that looks like that big eyeball, he is far inferior to him."
The man pursed his lips without making any sound.
He pretended to be Cheng Yuan and used Ning Duo to lead Ji Lian out, and he also wanted to attack Ji Lian at the corner of the corridor, but unexpectedly, the other party controlled himself with just a look.
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, looked at Ji Lian, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Yeah, the target is me, don't know who I am yet?" Ji Lian smiled, then his face was a little gloomy, "Recognize the situation, start with your name, and make it clear."
"Yin Qi." The man leaned against the wall, feeling a little depressed, "You have also seen that my ability is to completely copy a person's appearance."
As he said that, his whole body was a little distorted, not only his face, but also his body. After a while, except for his clothes, he did not change, and he seemed to have a man who had changed his body.
A pale face that had not seen the sun for a long time, Yin Qi, who was obviously a middle-aged man, coughed a few times again and said, "The task assigned by the boss is to make me look like the person named Cheng Yuan, just like you thought, to lead you out through Ning Duo and then capture you."
"Ning Duo, what did you do to her?" Ji Lian hesitated for a while and asked.
"I have been confused for a while and it will not take long to recover. I won't remember what happened during this period."
Yin Qi looked at him and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, no matter how much she is, she is also from the Ning family, I didn't do anything to her."
Ji Lian nodded, knowing that the other party was just a pawn who happened to be selected because of his ability. The big man would not care about it. If he wants to live in the world in the future, there will inevitably be many things to consider.
For example, any aristocratic family or hidden veins.
"Who is the boss you are talking about?" Ji Lian's face looked a little solemn. A guy who wanted to attack him naturally needed to know the other party's identity.
"The boss is just a title to the employer." Yin Qi said: "I can't see a dark figure."
Ji Lian breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and his eyes fell into the darkness above his head.
"Just, test?"
...
Ji Xu walked along the side of the bridge, handing his hands in his pocket. The wind blowing beside him brought the moisture of the river, and the air was mixed with the aroma of food coming from afar.
There were no vehicles on the bridge across the river at this moment. Looking around, it was not only the way, but also the lights were not in front of me, it was just darkness.
It was like a man-eating beast, opening its hideous mouth, and this bridge was the tongue of the monster leading to death.
Ji Xu lowered his head slightly, stepped on his sneakers across the roadside, making a slight sound, and gradually, the wind disappeared.
He paused, and the darkness around him seemed to be the curtain of the Hidden One, and the shadows were everywhere at this moment.
"After following me for so long, are you going to do it?"
Ji Xu murmured softly, the air became hot, and a red light began to emerge on his body, from weak to strong, like the rising sun.
Wherever the light passed, the darkness retreated, and the hidden shadows that seemed to be tentacles made a harsh scream, like the antennae of a snail, began to quickly dissipate into the darkness.
Gradually, the light emitted by Ji Xu's body enveloped a ten-meter radius, illuminating the darkness here.
