"Hey, I felt something was off about you just now, was that you?"

Zhou Zhu was startled by Tu Mi's sudden behavior.

This person's perception is so strong?

What surprised Zhou Zhu even more was the ball of dark energy at Tu Mi's fingertips.

"Such pure darkness, even purer than my mentor's. Could this person be..."

Her eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief and astonishment.

And there was also a hint of almost imperceptible ecstasy!

However, after noticing her reactions, Tu Mi immediately pulled out her pistol, raised it, and looked at her warily.

"You rascal, I was just feeling sorry for you. Is there something wrong with you?"

"Me? I didn't!" Zhou Zhuli, who had already recovered, feigned panic.

She retreated helplessly, as if she had just been raped and now even girls her age like Tu Mi were bullying her.

Tu Mi did not lower her guard because of Zhou Zhu's expression.

Zuo Le had repeatedly reminded her that she should always suppress her compassion, especially during operations or missions.

What appears to be a fragile entity is often a trap.

"Go sit in the corner and behave yourself."

"I see."

Zhou Zhu realized that Tu Mi had become wary of her, but it didn't matter. Since she had no intention of leaving now, it was fine to just lie low.

So he meekly walked to the corner and sat down obediently.

In the ruins.

Ba Dou grabbed Zheng Henian, still muttering complaints under his breath:

"What's going on? Holy crap, why does this person smell so strongly?"

"Brother Dou, you've worked hard. There's been a bit of a problem here, so I had no choice but to call you out for help."

Badou's small eyes darted around, glancing at the surrounding ruins, then at Zheng Henian, who was still struggling in his pliers, before he spoke very sensibly:

"It's okay, we're all brothers."

Zuo Le stood on Ba Dou's back and used the void to condense a straight line of ethereal spirit.

He allowed the ethereal spirit to extend out little by little.

It pierced through Zheng Henian's defensive shield and simultaneously notified Badou beneath him to attack together.

"Brother Dou, when I make my move, I'll sever his body."

"it is good!"

Zuo Le's ethereal beam of light pierced Zheng Henian's forehead in an instant.

At that moment, Ba Dou's pliers snapped his lumbar vertebrae, splitting Zheng Henian in two.

Sizzle! ~

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, still emitting black smoke, Zuo Le frowned slightly.

The scope of this battle had completely exceeded his initial expectations and deviated from his original intention of infiltrating, investigating, and making the arrest.

The damage is so great now that it will surely attract the attention of the Lightbearers.

Not wanting to stay and be investigated by the Lightbringers, he delivered a blunt and direct blow to Zheng Henian.

They dug out a piece of black flesh and bone from his body and prepared to leave.

"Brother Dou, this place isn't safe right now. You probably need to go back first. As for the things..."

"Hey buddy, you're making it sound like I care about your pittance."

Zuo Le smiled but didn't respond to the polite words.

It's highly likely that Ba Dou isn't truly indifferent, and he couldn't possibly refuse to give it to them. Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, especially since his relationship with Crab is one of mutual benefit.

Perhaps we can become true buddies in the future.

But not yet.

"Okay, buddy, I won't treat Dou Ge unfairly either."

Restart the spirit communication ritual, allowing Badou to return through the crack in the ritual.

Zuo Le teleported twice in a row and left the scene.

He walked over to Tu Mi, patted the stray dog ​​on the shoulder, and then pointed to Zhou Zhu on the ground:

"Take her with you, and let's talk somewhere else."

"it is good."

……

Dock area.

The evening breeze always carries a fishy smell.

Of course, there's also the smell of urine from people urinating and defecating indiscriminately, the smell of diesel fuel from ships, and the occasional smell of rotting debris floating in the air.

I met Tu Mi at school before and learned about the situation of her younger sister and Zuo Le.

Tuqi arrived alone at the small wooden dock in the dock area.

This is the place she brought Zuo Le to before.

She wasn't wearing a robe, but just a very ordinary khaki trench coat.

Standing on the decaying wooden pier, letting the sea breeze blow, the gold in Tuqi's hair gradually faded, returning to the same white as Tumi.

Her flowing hair covered most of her face, but even so, it still drew the attention of passersby on the bar street.

That's probably her natural charm.

Her gaze was no longer bright and gentle, but rather somewhat languid.

She looks a lot like her sister, giving up on everything.

Tuqi rarely shows this side of herself to others.

Perhaps in the past, she would have revealed this side of herself to Zuo Le, but not now.

Behind them, at the junction of the wooden dock, two people stood still.

"Look at that girl, she's gorgeous," one of them said in a low voice.

“That demeanor isn’t that of an ordinary person. Don’t cause trouble. If you want to have fun, go to the venue directly. You won’t mess things up.” Another person immediately spoke up to stop him.

Tuqi ignored the voices behind her and the stares of those people.

She was just looking at the factory walls across the sea.

To be precise, it was looking at those ridiculous slogans on the factory walls.

One person gets a job at the factory, the whole family is honored!

"Speaking of which, that was more than two years ago..."

Tuqi's voice was very soft.

She broke up with Zuo Le decisively and resolutely, thinking that this action would help her strengthen her resolve.

But today, after hearing what Tu Mi said, I learned that they had gotten together.

Tuqi still found it difficult to describe her feelings.

My chest feels tight.

Breaking off was her decision.

But this emotional backlash was something she hadn't expected, and it was even stronger than during the two years that Zuo Le had been missing.

"It would have been better if I hadn't come back."

Tuqi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed these thoughts.

She stood by the wooden dock for about ten minutes.

Feeling the night breeze growing increasingly chilly, Tuqi pulled her trench coat tighter and prepared to leave.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw two familiar figures in the distance.

Ripped jacket and tracksuit.

Zuo Le and Tu Mi.

In addition, they also brought a girl with them.

Tuqi stopped in her tracks and hid in the shadows beside the wooden stake.

But his gaze remained fixed on the two of them.

During this time, Tu Mi said something, and Zuo Le turned her head to look at her, then suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair.

Tu Mi tried to dodge but failed. She raised her foot to kick Zuo Le, but Zuo Le grabbed her ankle.

She stumbled forward and bumped into his arms.

The two men joked and teased each other, but there wasn't a trace of real anger in their eyes.

They nestled together, their fingers intertwined.

They were just like a real couple.

"No, they are already a couple."

Tuqi warned herself like this, but felt even more suffocated in her chest than before.

He watched as the two men led the girl to a small hotel and stopped.

Only two neon signs on the hotel sign were lit.

【hour】

This scene reminded Tuqi of the frantic moment when she and Zuo Le parted ways; they had originally planned to go to a small hotel.

In the end, however, I still went to Zuo Le's house.

"pretty good."

Tuqi stood in the shadows, watching the three of them walk into the small inn, and whispered.

After a while, she blinked, her throat bobbed, and she repeated:

"That's really good."

Tu Qi sighed, turned and left, but she did not leave as originally planned.

Instead, they randomly chose a bar on a corner in the dock area and sat down.

At this time of day, the bar street is at its liveliest.

Neon lights flashed, cheap speakers played music she didn't like, and the smells of alcohol and sweat mingled together.

Give me a bottle of strong liquor.

"One bottle? Miss, did you come with someone?"

The thin-faced bartender was somewhat surprised. He could tell that Tu Qi wanted to get drunk, so he took the initiative to remind her.

Bartenders and thugs are mostly different; they don't want trouble to happen at their establishments.

Especially someone like Tuqi, who looks like a girl from a respectable family.

"I'll pay you, you just need to give me the wine, that's all."

Seeing that Tuqi's attitude was firm, the bartender gave up trying to persuade her.

Kind words are useless; you're asking for trouble.

He opened a bottle of the strongest distilled whiskey, added a glass, and handed it to Tuqi.

"Here's your wine."
