64. Fate
Humans are a very strange animal, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Ji Xu is now just thinking about escaping from the ghost place of the Demon City, at least the demons are now a ghost place.
He never thought that he was different and could play the role of savior. Even if his progress in his realm could be described as rapid, he did not feel complacent or pride in his heart.
Some are just calm and composed as they happen.
As he thought when he entered this industry after agreeing to the proposal of "Yao", what he always wanted was to change his once ordinary life, no longer just to just live a mediocre life and wait for death without any direction in life.
I'm afraid many people have been like this throughout their lives, without goals and directions.
If you will find a similar partner, then get married and have children; if you find a similar job, you cannot be said to be a mess, at least you will spend your life without any trouble.
Even if you suddenly want to change something after spending most of your life, when you see the ordinary life you have become accustomed to, you will immediately feel relieved and convince yourself.
Look, it's already like this, so don't bother.
You will look at your wife who walked out of the kitchen, look at the wrinkles on her face, and she will nag with herself, and then you will just smile and look at her, as gentle as before.
Or, looking at her husband who has just gotten off work, he leans on the sofa as soon as he enters the door, sometimes sighing, and then you will sit over, rub his shoulders, and say that the family is short and the village is long.
The days will pass so dullly until the end.
Like clear water.
Many people have no ups and downs in their lives. It’s not that everything is dull, but that is the life they choose. Sometimes, habits are their default choices.
Ji Xu is different. He will struggle and refuse.
Ye Lin once said that he was "Mr. Ji, who is taller than the sky." When she met again at the hot pot restaurant after breaking up, she asked Ji Xu if she understood, but Ji Xu could not say anything because he had always understood.
Because I have a burden in my heart, I will not be content with ordinary people.
Even now, it is still the case.
But he wouldn't joke with his life, so he would choose to escape, no matter how flooded he was behind him, all he could do was run desperately.
Shen Yao could feel Ji Xu's heartbeat, which was an unconcealable panic, just like an antelope avoiding natural enemies. Only running can bring a sense of security.
She suddenly remembered the words "Are you afraid?" she asked him? It turned out that it was not just her fear, but this boy who had thought he was fearless would also be afraid.
It won't feel contempt, it will be more real.
Shen Yao lay on Ji Xu's back, feeling the bumps he kept jumping and falling, and suddenly felt at ease.
It was like a soul that had nowhere to rest suddenly, and even if it was just a moment of rest, it was a quiet moment that could make her let go of all the burdens in her heart.
She cherishes it very much.
"Hey, don't fall asleep."
Ji Xu looked straight ahead, and the perception of three thousand meters outside spread out as much as possible, always identifying the aura of extraordinary existence.
Like a tight bowstring, sweat faintly appeared on his forehead.
Shen Yao grunted, rubbed her head with dissatisfaction on his neck, and muttered, "It's not okay to let me sleep for a while."
Ji Xu was speechless, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.
His footsteps were not slow, especially when he was rushing at a high place, the explosion of the fire could not even be seen.
Not far away is the bridge across the river, which is also the place where Chen Yao is "picked".
Ji Xu's pace slowed down slightly, and he jumped to the roof of the nearest building, and quietly overlooked the bridge less than 100 meters apart with Chen Yao on his back.
Not far from the bridge, it is an elevated road. You can walk along the road and you can reach the expressway from the Magic City.
Because in his perception, he can "see".
But now, he had to stop, not because he was tired and wanted to take a break, but in fact he had this idea at the beginning.
But now it's not, because there is a person standing in front of him.
The rain cleaned the bridge's steel frame, which was originally covered with dust, and now it condensed downward with dripping water, while the other party stood there.
A pure white suit is very conspicuous and strange under the dark sky, especially the other party's cheeks with fine scales, which are a bit blue and a bit hideous and terrifying.
"You're here." The other party's tone was plain, as if someone who knew each other met him on the road and asked each other, "Have you eaten?"
Ji Xu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know I'll come?"
"Or why would I be here?"
"You want to stop me?"
"What do you think?"
"Why?"
"Do you need a reason?"
“Not needed?”
Fang Jue heard his question, and licked the corners of his lips with a snake-like tongue and said, "Then treat me as idle."
"Are you in the same group as Guan Guan?" Ji Xu asked lightly without moving.
"Why do you think I'll tell you?"
"It seems not."
"So, it seems that there are quite a few people who want you to die." Fang Jue laughed and said deliberately: "Tell me, what's the point of living?"
"Ha, the Four Islands think so, but China still stands." Ji Xu said calmly.
Fang Jue glanced at him, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "Someone wants you to die, please ask me to come and take your life."
"Come from the capital?" Ji Xu asked.
"Do you think I'll say it?" Fang Jue tilted his neck and then stepped vertically on his shoulder at a 90-degree angle in the blink of an eye. "Didn't you think that there is anything different from the previous few meetings?"
Ji Xu had always had an indescribable disgust. When he heard him say this, he immediately said, "I'm not familiar with you, why do you have anything to do with me?"
"Haha." Fang Jue straightened his neck and said seriously: "I'm here this time, I'm really going to take your life."
Ji Xu frowned, looked at him carefully, and then said, "It seems that you are going to be disappointed, maybe you will die in my hands."
He did not sense the fluctuations of the aura of the power of heaven and earth from Fang Jue, which means that he had not yet entered the furnace realm.
"Oh?" Fang Jue smiled, and then laughed loudly, with the shiny black and delicate leather shoes pounding on the steel frame of the bridge.
"Do you want to say, you have broken through the realm now?" Fang Jue finished laughing, then looked at Ji Xu and said.
Ji Xu's pupils shrank, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"I ask you, what's the difference between me and you and I last met twice. It seems you haven't figured it out yet." The smile on Fang Jue's face faded and became cold again, "Don't you think, have I said more to you this time?"
Ji Xu was stunned, and then his mind felt like he was hit by a giant hammer. There was a sudden roar, and he staggered and almost fell down in pain.
"I'm still young." Fang Jue said, and after a step, he actually came directly to Ji Xu's eyes, as if he was shrinking into an inch.
Ji Xu was shocked, resisted the severe pain in his mind, and took a few steps back.
"How come I didn't know that you were already in the oven, so I delayed the time."
Fang Jue said as he walked, his tone was frivolous, but his face was extremely cold, "It's impossible to beat him, but it's different if he poisons him."
