Chapter 287 Coward
At this moment, Jian Changsheng felt indescribably happy!
Yes, yes, he has waited for so long and finally waited for this day! Everyone's surprised looks, fearful looks, and the playing cards he had prepared for a long time... When he actually stood among the playing cards flying in the sky, he suddenly felt like the suffering had come to an end, making him feel like everything he had eaten before The pain is all worth it!
The satisfaction in Jian Changsheng's heart only lasted for a while, and then he temporarily suppressed it... He had more important things to do.
Just when the squinting man was in shock, Jian Changsheng disappeared in the truck again. A chill suddenly came to the squinting man's heart. He drew his sword and struck back without hesitation!
clang--! !
A crisp buzzing sound sounded, and Jian Changsheng's dagger collided with that of the squinting man, causing dazzling sparks to burst out.
"I thought you were so strong, but it turns out you're only a fourth-level person." Jian Changsheng sneered, "Your mother never taught you that you should kowtow first when you see the Twilight Society? You're useless."
Hearing these words, the squinting man was startled for a moment, and then a surge of anger burned in his chest!
He forced Jian Changsheng back with one strike of his sword. Jian Changsheng followed the force and fell backward lightly. After giving him a contemptuous look, Jian Changsheng disappeared from the spot.
The squinting man felt the force coming from the blade, and his eyes flashed with astonishment...
Something's wrong...
This [6 of Spades]...why does it feel like the realm is not as good as mine?
Was he delusional?
At this moment, the squinting man was already aroused by Jian Changsheng. In addition, he felt that the other party was just a fake and was completely incompatible with the [6 of Spades] who was rumored to be causing a bloody storm... The squinting man didn't hesitate much and moved toward him. Jian Changsheng chased after him!
"Leng Yu actually went after that person from the Twilight Club? Why is he so crazy?" Yuzi saw through the glass in the hotel suite opposite.
Yan Sheng's face was also a little ugly. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Yuzi, go help him."
"What about you?"
"I'm here, everything will be fine."
Yuzi nodded simply, "Okay."
She pushed open the window, jumped up and chased in the direction the two left...
…
"Two are here?"
Jian Changsheng, who was running frantically for his life, felt the breath coming from behind and was shocked!
In his original plan, he just needed to lure the squinting man away, but he didn't expect that there was another woman suddenly there, and judging from her aura, she turned out to be a fourth-level woman!
How to fight this? ? !
Jian Changsheng has a clear understanding of his current strength. Under the encirclement and suppression of the two fourth-level men, he is almost certain to die. He can only temporarily rely on [Drip Blood Tuo] to continuously escape to buy time.
"Damn...it's too big now!"
"No, if I continue like this I will be consumed by them... But those two seniors from the Twilight Society are not here, who can come to save me?"
Jian Changsheng was thinking hard. At this moment, his eyes fell on an empty stall on the side of the street. The stall was already covered with frost. The stall owner did not know where he had gone, leaving only one stall. The unsold kites were hung on the metal frames, with ribbons of various colors fluttering silently in the cold wind.
The moment he saw these kites, Jian Changsheng was suddenly stunned. As if he thought of something, he grabbed one of the red kites, turned around and rushed towards the Century Tower not far away!
Chu Muyun and Bai Ye couldn't get in touch, but there was another person...
That person, he knows how to contact!
"Damn! [6 of Hearts], it's up to you this time!" Jian Changsheng gritted his teeth and said,
"If you come, the sale of Aurora Base to me will be wiped out... If you don't care about me, even if you are a ghost, I will not let you go!!"
Jian Changsheng rushed into the Century Tower. A moment later, a red kite, symbolizing hope, rose from the top of the tower and flew silently under the empty and gray sky.
…
Wisteria Cafe.
"So, you also think there is no way out for mankind... right?" Chen Ling asked.
"No." Mr. Jiguang shook his head, "The road is made by people. Even if there are thorns in front of us, someone must step on them and explore. Maybe this process is full of despair and pain, but as long as we are still moving forward, There is always a way out...
The scary thing is never the thorny road, but the fact that no one dares to walk on it. If everyone gives up out of fear, then mankind will really be finished. "
Chen Ling was silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked out the window:
"But not everyone has the courage to face this kind of despair...right?"
"Yes, I have seen too many people fall before dawn because they could not bear the despair... In fact, there are only a few types of people who can make it to the end," Ji Guangjun looked at Chen Ling, "either they have some kind of absolute firmness that cannot be shaken. The belief is either a strong psychological endurance, or an absolute rationality that can ignore all living things..."
"Which one are you?"
"Me? I'm neither. I'm just a lucky chosen one, a sensitive and cowardly coward."
A trace of bitterness appeared in Mr. Jiguang's eyes, "I know that there is already a mess outside, but I only dare to hide here and drink coffee... I don't even have the courage to face despair."
Chen Ling was stunned.
Frost covered the glass, seeming to completely isolate the inside of the house from the outside. Aurora sat quietly across the coffee table, like an introverted and closed-minded young scholar sitting in a laboratory and staring at the equipment.
"You..." Chen Ling opened her mouth to say something.
"But people always have to grow, don't they?" Ji Guangjun spoke again. He looked at Chen Ling, a smile appeared on his face, "It's been more than three hundred years... I should have made some progress."
Ji Guangjun stood up slowly and carefully put the frozen coffee cup back on the counter.
The moment the bottom of the cup touched the counter, the door of the cafe suddenly opened automatically, and a cold wind swept into the room, blowing up the white coat and long snow-white hair.
"It's time for you to go." Ji Guangjun turned his back to Chen Ling, "Someone is waiting for you."
Chen Ling was stunned. He stood up and walked outside the cafe. As soon as he went out, he saw a red kite on the top of the Century Tower in the distance, like a burning paper kite, trying desperately to fly in the strong wind. It seemed to be falling. The rope will be cut off in a moment and buried in the sky.
[Do you know Century Tower? It's the tallest building in the city. If one of us wants to find the other, how about we go to the top of the tower and fly a red kite? 】
Jian Changsheng's words echoed in Chen Ling's ears. They were the means he had reserved to jointly deal with the Stars Chamber of Commerce after meeting Jian Changsheng at the crematorium.
Ji Guangjun walked out from behind him and looked at the kite as well.
"This should be the last kite in Aurora City...was it flown by your friend?"
"Friend?" Chen Ling's expression was a little subtle, "No... just a companion... not really, I just happened to know him, and then tricked him a few times... I owe him a few favors."
"I owe you a favor, but you have to pay it back."
"You just let me go so easily? Didn't you say you want to monitor the disaster of 'annihilation'?"
"I'm lying to you. As long as you are in this city, I can spy on you... I just want to find someone to talk to." Lord Jiguang turned to him and smiled, "Do what you should do... …It’s time for me to do my thing.”
Chen Ling was about to turn around and ask him what he was going to do, when Ji Guangjun turned around and waved to him.
"See you next time...Chen Ling."
Ode——!
A fine arc of electricity flashed beside him, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Chen Ling looked at the direction he was leaving, her eyes narrowed slightly... I don't know how long it took before he murmured those two words in confusion:
"Chen...Ling?"
