"What took you so long?"
Downstairs, several people in black looked at Zhong Xiran, who had arrived late, with dissatisfaction.
"Cough, sorry, it's a personal matter.”
Zhong Xiran coughed in embarrassment.
What could she say? Could she say that she had wasted her time looking at handsome men?
"But then again, what's wrong with that kid recently? Why did his temperament suddenly change?”
Thinking of the little guy she had always regarded as her younger brother, a warm smile hung on the corner of Zhong Xiran's mouth. Wasn't the reason why she was so desperate to protect these people she cared about?
"You went to see your little boyfriend, right?”
A playful voice came from a woman wearing a black hood. From the voice, one could confirm that this woman was definitely a seductive demon.
"Si Lingxuan, get lost!"
Zhong Xiran said to the woman hidden under the black clothes in a bad mood.
"Alright, stop talking. Xiran, have you said goodbye to your family? This time…we might not be able to come back.”
The leader, a two-meter-tall man, had a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Let's go, Captain."
Zhong Xiran's mind flashed with the figure who also held an umbrella at home and smiled warmly.
The burly man nodded, then turned around and shouted.
"Alright, all of us should have said goodbye to our families by now, right?”
After saying that, the burly man turned around and looked around. After making sure that no one had any objections, he continued.
"Lian City is about to revive a Morning Star monster, and the dynasty's reinforcements will only arrive in ten days. What can we do in these ten days?”
As he spoke, the burly man looked around again.
"We can't do anything! The strangeness of the Morning Star realm is enough to destroy a city. No matter how many of us go up there, we'll be nothing more than food. The only thing we can do is to do our best to clear out the dogs that have become rampant with the revival of the Morning Star realm ghosts and clear the obstacles for the dynasty's reinforcements.”
"Yes, I know that our strength is very weak and we can't even deal with a slightly stronger Red Specter. However, everyone, our duty is to protect our country. Our mission does not allow us to retreat!”
The brawny man roared as he spoke. His eyes were filled with an expression of facing death unflinchingly.
"I won't retreat!"
"I won't retreat!"
"I won't retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people also shouted. However, as they shouted, their tears fell.
Everyone knew that this was a battle of certain death. They had to fight with their lives for ten days.
However, even if they risked their lives, the amount of time they could delay could be counted on one's fingers. Countless Red Specters had been born with the strange birth of Morning Stars. With their strength, they would not even be able to waste their time in the Lian City.
As Zhong Xiran shouted, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
She also understood that this was definitely a dead end. However, she did not regret it because this way, she would be able to live up to the oath she had made under the flag of Great Yan.
It was just that…he couldn't bear to part with that little fellow.
Zhong Xiran's mind showed the figure who was also holding an umbrella at home.
"Stinky little brother has grown up.”
Touching the tears on her face, Zhong Xiran's lips curled into a smile.
Thinking that she was protecting him, the fear in Zhong Xiran's heart dissipated a lot.
……
"Ahh, who's talking about me?"
On the roof of a building, Luo Wenbin, who was holding the Soul Banishing Umbrella, sneezed and scratched his head.
"Forget it, it's not important. Siatta, are you sure there's a strange aura there?”
Luo Wenbin raised his eyebrows and asked Siatta after he turned around and looked at his surroundings.
hiss ~
Seemingly sensing Luo Wenbin's disbelief, the bird's head poked out from the void behind him and gently nudged Luo Wenbin's back.
"This place…is my primary school?”
Luo Wenbin felt a sharp pain in his teeth. Due to the fact that Siata had fused with the Cardinal Sins Core, it was extremely sensitive to emotions. No emotions could hide from its eyes.
This was an ability that the other Sharatak birds did not have.
Siatta also said that she sensed the aura of fear here, and it was similar to that ghost face.
Luo Wenbin, who lived in an era of information explosion, could naturally guess what the smell in Siatta's mouth was. It was probably the so-called " Yin Qi " or " Resentment ".
Therefore, Luo Wenbin was prepared to go in the direction that Siatta had mentioned.
However, he didn't expect Siata to be talking about his primary school.
That was not right. It was said that his primary school had been guided by an expert when it was built. How could it be haunted?
This school was a boarding school. They only went home on weekends and stayed here at night.
But even so, Luo Wenbin had never heard of any rumors of ghosts. He didn't know if it was because of psychological effects or something else, but he didn't feel scared even when he walked alone in the small forest in the school at night.
Luo Wenbin took out his phone to check what had happened in his school in the past few years.
After all, he hadn't been back for more than ten years. It was inevitable that some unforeseen events might have happened that he wasn't aware of. On the other hand…he trusted Siatta.
Just like how Sionta trusted him unconditionally, he trusted Sionta unconditionally as well.
As soon as he clicked on the search button, a post popped up.
