Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 45: Fear of the Dark
Tang Butian and Lin Yu both stared at the scribbles drawn by Jiang You.
The blood line connected the light spot, and the black bead was spinning faster and faster, leaving an afterimage, as if a demon . Tang Butian tightened her grip on the hilt of the knife, and she was on guard. Time passed by, the shadows of the trees were looming, and the whistling sound of the wind in her ears seemed to gradually weaken, but nothing happened. She looked at Jiang You with some doubts.
Jiang You noticed Tang Butian's gaze and said, "Maybe he thinks it tastes bad."
Tang Butian's eyes fell on Shao Lang's wrist. The blood on the wound had coagulated a little. She frowned and asked, "Do you want more..."
"No."
Tang Butian lowered her eyes. "What I felt from his sword cannot be fake."
Her voice was blown away by the wind and sounded a little empty. "Fragments of the battle contain intense emotions. He won't do that. A swordsman won't do that. A swordsman cannot deceive his own sword."
"We still have a lot of time." Jiang You took a step back.
A thread of blood broke.
Tang Butian saw an extremely thin spider silk passing through the light spot, replacing the blood line.
"Being picky about food is not a good habit. It can lead to malnutrition."
Jiang Mo's fingers trembled .
"Luckily I brought snacks."
Wisps of black mist floated out from the beads, were blown away by the wind, and then gathered back in twists and turns, forced to condense into a vague human figure.
"Qiaoqiao?" Tang Butian recognized her.
At this time——
Lightning tore through the sky.
Thunder rumbled across the mountain.
Click, click…
The crack on the mountain wall grew larger, and continued to extend in all directions. With the strong light of the flashlight, Tang Butian saw that something seemed to be coming out of the crack, coming out...
Qiaoqiao sensed the crisis and fled in panic, but as soon as she approached the edge of the ghost painting, her body was torn into pieces and then gathered again above the black bead.
Every time she struggled, her body became lighter.
"Look, I can bear being hungry, but I can't bear it when my enemies show up," Jiang You took a few steps towards the crack, "Leader, let's go over there."
Jiang Mo took a step forward, and just as Lin Yu was about to follow, Jiang You stopped him, "Boss Lin, you stay."
"Okay, but..."
"Lin Yu, you are the right protector of the Spider Cult."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. He saw Jiang You's eyes behind the lenses and realized that Jiang You was not joking.
"You can do a lot of things, including some things I can't do." Jiang You pushed his glasses and pointed his sword at Chang Lizhang and Shao Lang who were lying on the ground. "Protect them. Also, if someone comes, stop him."
Lin Yu assured Jiang You: "I will try my best."
"Let's go, Tang Xiaotian." After saying that, Jiang You picked up Jiang Mo with one hand and stepped into the crack with the sword in the other hand.
Tang Butian glanced at the broken Qiaoqiao above the bead.
"Chief Tang, you go ahead. I'll watch over here," said Lin Yu.
"good."
Tang Butian turned around and walked into the crack.
After she went in, some spider silk sealed the surface of the crack.
The cracks stopped expanding and the wind became quieter.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the unconscious Chang Lizhang and Shao Lang. Their expressions were calm, and the wound on Shao Lang's wrist was no longer bleeding.
He looked around, picked up two pieces of gravel, and then sat down on a stone near the ghost painting. He looked at Qiaoqiao above the beads vigilantly.
Qiaoqiao noticed that the crack was temporarily sealed. She looked up and her eyes met Lin Yu's.
…
In the gap, Jiang You and Tang Butian walked one after the other. It was dark inside, and the ground was uneven and slippery.
They didn't bring flashlights.
"My fitness coach is very responsible. Even when he went bankrupt, he still thought about paying salaries and relocating the elderly in the factory," Jiang You used his sword to explore the way. "Thanks to his supervision, I have lost a lot of weight recently."
Tang Butian looked at Jiang You's back, she was a little unsure, she asked: "Have you lost weight?"
"Yeah, I used to feel bloated and short of breath when I squatted down, but it's gotten much better recently," Jiang You touched his stomach, which was very elastic. He asked, "If I practice for another two months, I might have abdominal muscles. Then I can go to my classmate's child's full moon banquet..."
Tang Butian was a little worried, "Outside..."
"It's much safer outside, but I think Jin Cheng will come looking for us."
"Jin Cheng?" Tang Butian frowned.
"You don't seem to like him very much?" Jiang You asked.
"No." Tang Butian denied it.
"Chang Lizhang, have you known this person before?"
"have no idea."
"Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, I..."
Jiang You suddenly stopped and Tang Butian almost bumped into him.
Jiang You turned around and asked, "Is it related to Zheng Yuantai?"
Tang Butian turned his head.
"Are you afraid of discovering that he might not be a good person," Jiang You looked at her profile, "or even did something very bad?"
"Not afraid."
"You don't want to fight him?"
"Not really, I just," Tang Butian pursed her lips, she raised her head, her hair brushed across Jiang You's face, "If we have to fight, I won't hesitate."
The girl's eyes were determined.
Jiang You smiled. He patted Tang Butian on the head and turned to continue walking forward. "What kind of person is he? Is he good or bad? Use your eyes to see and your heart to judge. You will come to your own conclusion. We are not too far away from the truth."
"I know." Tang Butian said softly.
"Your conclusion is my conclusion."
In the darkness, the girl's eyes widened slightly, and she asked, "What if I'm wrong?"
"Make the best of a bad situation, and fight poison with poison."
Tang Butian felt her troubled heart suddenly calm down.
"lead."
Jiang You's voice came from the front.
"What's up?"
"I'm afraid of the dark. You're too far away from me. Have you forgotten that you have to protect me and my son?"
The corners of the girl's mouth curled up slightly.
Tang Butian took a few quick steps and caught up with him.
