Chapter 70:
"What's the matter? Could it be that you are conquered by my charm?"
Zhanbahara's lips were slightly raised, showing a smug smile, and then slowly turned around in front of Roman's eyes, and the light and fluffy skirts began to float with her movements.
The reason Roman was surprised was that Zhanbahara was wearing a nightdress.
It was a pink nightdress with loose cuffs revealing her fair wrists, but the covered skin did not detract from her charm. The ribbons on the front are tied with cute bows, and the dangling ribbons are placed on the chest, making the small peppercorns more conspicuous. The fluffy skirt has a translucent lace edge, which looks a little girlish.
At that moment, Roman was truly fascinated... Of course, it was only for a moment.
"Why are you wearing pajamas?"
"Any questions?"
Zhan Yuanjiao smiled and sat on the cushion in front of the low table, but this time, instead of kneeling, she sat on it half-lying, and then gently raised her long slender legs. The skirt started to slide off her ankles and stopped just before her knees. This almost calculated action made the hearts of those who saw this scene heated up, and even Roman's heart began to beat suddenly.
- Gives people a feeling of blue pond.
This is Roman's first feeling.
——Did her brain break?
This is Roman's second thought.
"It's all there. I should always wear simple home clothes. But thinking about it, this doesn't seem to be my home. It feels so strange to wear home clothes."
"Isn't it weird to wear pajamas?"
What kind of state of mind is this? Because I'm not at home, I can't wear home clothes, so I just wear pajamas. Why don't you say that you can't find the right clothes and just don't wear them.
"Ah? Could it be that classmate Roman wants to stay here without wearing anything? Sure enough, after leaving girlfriends for too long, boys are unreliable."
Zhanbahara suddenly knelt upright on the cushion, and the charming smile on her face disappeared. She looked at Roman with a blank expression and said.
"I just wanted to see your surprised expression."
Roman's face twitched slightly, and he was unable to speak for a while.
"By the way, if I were you, it's better to go see your precious daughter now."
"What, what happened to Xiao Zi?"
Zhanbahara's words shocked Roman, and then quickly ran to the bedside and saw Xiao Zi who was sleeping soundly.
Her expression looked very peaceful, but there was a strong sense of tiredness on her face, as if she had experienced work that consumed a lot of energy.
"In the end..."
"Keep your voice down."
Zhanbahara punched Roman in the lower abdomen, but it did not make Roman feel pain, and was then pulled aside by her.
Only at this time did Roman realize that he had been holding her hand all the time, and scratched the red indentation on the wrist very hard.
"What the **** is going on? What happened to Xiao Zi?"
It's not normal. No matter what time it was, Xiao Zi was always full of energy. Even a tired Roman looked at her with energy. It was the first time he had seen such a tired face. In addition, Xiao Zi is a monster and may need to rest during the day, but after the sun disappears on the horizon, her spirit will become more active. Lying in bed at eight o'clock at night like now is simply unimaginable.
"Even if you ask me like that, I can't answer you."
Zhanbahara moved his wrist gently, then looked at Xiao Zi sleeping on the bed, and said.
"It was fine, she was just playing with your laptop. But about two hours ago, she suddenly left."
"Leave? How could you let her go?"
"What can I do? She suddenly disappeared right in front of my eyes, and there was no way to stop her."
Roman probably understood what Zhanbahara meant. If he guessed correctly, Xiao Zi should use the "Shadow Shuttle" ability to leave, so that no one can stop her. But why did she leave suddenly? Where did you go from here? What do you do to make yourself exhausted.
"Sorry, I'm just... too nervous."
The voice just now seemed to be too loud, and it also carried a tone of reproach. Zhanbahara has never been obliged to take care of Xiaozi. Even if he has promised Roman to take good care of Xiaozi, it does not mean that Roman has the right to blame her, especially when he knows that Xiaozi does not like Zhanyuan.
"Don't worry, I understand your feelings, so I didn't take it to heart, my daughter." Zhanbahara showed a disdainful expression, as if he was despising Roman's daughter, but he didn't stop his words, "She left soon after she left. Came back, and when she came back she was sleeping on the bed with a sleepy look on her face. I was going to ask her what she did when she went out, but she was already asleep, couldn't hear me at all, and seemed to be having nightmares all the time, so I I had to coax her to sleep."
So that's the case, is this the reason Sagarahara is wearing pajamas? In order to coax Xiao Zi to sleep, she wore pajamas on the bed and kept coaxing Xiao Zi who had nightmares.
ah? No, Roman remembered that the battlefield was originally dressed in ordinary casual clothes. Could it be that she came home to find pajamas halfway?
"I called Kamhara to deliver the clothes for me. Thanks to that child, I don't think I need to worry about my pajamas in the next few years."
Under the sign of Sadohara, Roman looked at the big bag on the side of the bed. In other words, is it all pajamas?
It was only at this time that Roman realized that Zhanbahara had a faint look of tiredness on his face, and he should have worked hard all day to stay. Two hours ago, it was around six o'clock on the eve. After a day of activities, people's energy was almost exhausted, but Zhanbahara still needed to focus on taking care of Xiao Zi, and it was hard work for her.
He obviously hates children, but he still takes care of Xiao Zi without hesitation, and the feeling of guilt fills Roman's heart for a while.
"I'm sorry." He remembered his reproach for not asking the reason just now, and couldn't help but feel even more ashamed.
"Now is not the time to apologize. If you feel sorry for me, owe it to me. The most important thing now is to find out what happened to Xiao Zi."
Battlefield said unceremoniously, then lay still on the low table, looking tired.
Roman nodded, then walked over to the bed again. He looked down at the sleeping Xiao Zi, the tiredness on his face was distressing, and he wished that the person lying here was himself.
Reach out and gently touch Xiao Zi's forehead, but when the skin of the two touched, Xiao Zi opened her eyes.
"Father……"
"Little purple?"
Roman did not expect that he had just met her, and Xiao Zi woke up. But his response was not slow, he quickly sat down beside Xiao Zi, and his hands began to examine Xiao Zi's body, which was gently covered by the quilt.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
"No. Dad doesn't need to worry about me, I'm just tired."
"It's really good, Xiao Zi." Roman gently stroked Xiao Zi's head with a doting smile on his face, "So what should Dad do? Seeing Xiao Zi lying on the bed, Dad will be very distressed, What did Xiao Zi do in the afternoon?"
Roman's words made Xiao Zi look puzzled, and then she shook her head, as if she didn't want to say anything.
"Father, I want to rest."
"Well, take a good rest, we'll play together after you wake up."
Xiao Zi's small head arched in Roman's hands, and then merged with Roman once again under Roman's surprised gaze.
From beginning to end, Roman did not notice that Xiao Zi's address to him changed again and again.
Section 137 Chapter 100 Murder Case (Nine thousand recommended plus more)
How long has it been since the last time?
Roman and Xiao Zi become one, not simply hiding in the shadows, but becoming one with the flesh.
In my memory, it seems that this has never happened since Xiao Zi turned into a humanoid.
Gap monsters, weak monsters that hide in the shadows, disappear when exposed to sunlight, and can grow with "existence" as food. Before that, they were once considered "weird that may not exist". But the monsters in the gap exist, and they not only exist, but they can also transform into humanoids like the monsters in the legend, and even have a very high IQ. Roman, who has raised Xiaozi for a while, is very sure of this.
Originally, Roman thought that after Xiao Zi turned into a human form, he no longer needed to plunder his "existence", but he didn't expect to witness this scene again.
However, unlike the previous time when he didn't know anything about the "gap monster", this time Roman had a very clear understanding of Xiao Zi's state. Neither injured nor ill, there was nothing wrong with Xiao Zi's state, but her body began to gradually fall into a deep sleep. Roman's "existence" poured down like a reservoir that opened a sluice gate, constantly pouring out into Xiao Zi's body.
This is supplementing nutrition. For some unknown reason, Xiao Zi suddenly began to absorb "nutrients", but she was not weak from malnutrition. It seemed that she was absorbing the "food" provided by Roman for growth.
Roman breathed a sigh of relief, because this represented that Xiao Zi was developing for the better.
"What's up with her?"
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with Xiao Zi." Roman told Zhanbahara about Xiao Zi's state, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"I see. That's right. When a child is still growing, she must supplement her nutrition regularly. And she is a monster, different from humans in some aspects, but..."
"only?"
"It's just a little sudden." Zhanbahara pondered his words, and at the same time did not know what he was thinking, "It's a bit like running out to donate blood on a whim, only to find that I lost more blood than I expected... Although it's not weak, but in a short time. You should have a good rest in time.”
Donate blood? Roman also had such an experience, although it was a long time ago. I remember the situation at the time was that after donating blood, the body would fall into a state of weakness, but this weakness was very weak, so weak that it could recover after a few days of rest.
So, what did Xiao Zi do?
Let's wait until she wakes up to ask her this question.
...
...
It was a giant man over two meters in length. His physique is very exaggerated, looking like a giant at close range, one leg is even thicker than the waist of an ordinary youth. The muscles in the upper body swelled high, holding up the largest shirt, and it seemed that the shirt could be burst with a slight movement. However, he no longer had this chance. The strong man lay motionless in the alley, holding a giant sword in the shape of a wave like a flame in each of his hands, and he did not let go until he fell.
The sound of running water like a stream emanated from his body, and the "water flow" flowed out of the alley, dyeing the road into a red other world.
His expression was serious, but his eyes protruded like goldfish, and the red bloodshots were as dense as fishing nets.
"Dead meow..."
...
...
Monday, June 5th.
It is already summer time, and the weather has become hot, which makes the students in the school more impetuous. Especially for the third-year students, there is less than a month left until this semester, and the strength test is approaching, the entire senior year is shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
The usual laughter and laughter have disappeared, and the occasional whispers quickly calmed down. This situation is even more so after some **** wrote the words "Twenty-three days until the strength test" on the blackboard. serious. So is the person who wrote it out of water? Don't you know that this will make people's emotions more depressed and tense?
Roman felt that it was often heard that some students committed suicide because of too much academic pressure, probably because they couldn't bear the atmosphere. The person who wrote these words should be locked in a small dark room for a whole day of exam papers.
However, this has little to do with Roman. Although I haven't done one of the real questions I bought over the years, I still have a mystery-like self-confidence.
"Homicide case?"
At noon, Roman and Han Chuan were eating sandwiches and bread in the shade of a tree, and somehow the topic came to the murder case they heard about in the morning.
You can hear people discussing this topic almost everywhere you go. The case was only discovered in the morning, but it has spread throughout the private Naojiangjin high school, probably through the Internet to get the news from outside.
"It is said that two classmates passed out this morning when they saw the body and passed out. They are still receiving treatment in the hospital. During recess, the parents of the students called the teacher to ask for leave, so this matter began to spread. "
I see. After witnessing the crime scene with their own eyes, few people can be indifferent in front of the tragically dead bodies, let alone the students living in the campus greenhouse.
"But the scene must be very tragic, after all, it can make people faint..."
Roman's words suddenly stopped. He suddenly remembered that he had seen a corpse, and that the corpse was created by him himself. With a dagger, he pierced it to the heart, and the blood would spray out like a fountain when the dagger was pulled out.
It's a really bad memory, especially since he was killed once before the murder.
But at that time, his heart did not fluctuate. There is no disgust, guilt, or fear of killing life. It is the first time to kill someone, or even the first time to see so much blood, but you can be as indifferent as an executioner.
"Well, it is said that the fatal wound is also the only wound on the deceased's body. In the position of the heart, the cause of death is that the heart was dug out."
"heart……"
Was dug up? Or one hit kill?
This news made Roman Reigns difficult to accept for a while.
It is not easy to dig out the heart, because the front and back of the heart are protected by bones, and the heart is very sensitive and important parts, if it is touched by someone, it will easily cause a conditioned reflex. Therefore, there is only one possibility to dig out the heart. The deceased was succeeded by the murderer without being able to resist. He used auxiliary items such as drugs and anesthetics, and then used a knife to open the heart at the position of the heart to remove the heart from the human body. dig it out.
"But there are other explanations." Yu Chuan's words paused, and then continued, "It is said that the deceased was not an ordinary person. Of course, it is not because he is a foreigner, but a swordsman."
"Swordsman?"
Roman also noticed Yukawa's hesitation, and Roman who knew her understood that Yukawa seemed to care about this statement, but there was no basis for it.
"Yes, the deceased held two giant swords in his hands, the kind that had already been used to kill people. Some people think that the murderer actually thought he was a martial artist. The swordsman lost, but the fighter won. But this statement did not convince many people, because the deceased did not have any scars, and it was almost impossible to kill with bare hands and dig out the heart of the person. matter."
No, it is possible, if the other party is not a human, but a monster.
Roman remembered Suika Ibuki whom she met last night. She is a ghost clan who is keen on fighting, and will ignite the fighting spirit because of the strength of the other party. If it's Ibuki Suika... It seems unlikely that it's her. After all, she looks so weak that she just rubs it on the ground casually. Although she has repeatedly emphasized that she is very strong, which kid have you ever seen because of Throwing on the ground, unable to breathe, and almost dying?
On the contrary, it is another - the cat demon. Ibuki Suika said that the cat demon she encountered had the ability to absorb energy, and even sucked all her stamina away with a single touch. If it is a cat demon, will it first **** the body of the deceased, and then dig out the heart when the deceased can't resist?
In contrast, the latter seems to be more credible, but the former possibility cannot be ruled out.
I hope it's not you, watermelon, I don't want to be an accomplice to the murderer.
"However, Yuchuan knows a lot. The murder was only discovered this morning."
"I just happened to know." Yu Chuan buried his head, as if he didn't want to continue talking about this matter.
This is not an interesting post-dinner conversation at all. It is only because I heard a lot, so I brought it up. After all, it is not romantic to talk about murders when I am with my girlfriend.
Speaking of dating, Roman has not been alone with Han Chuan for a long time. After school, I rush home, and weekends are also reserved for my family. Almost all of Yukawa's spare time is devoted to taking care of his parents who are sick. Except for the lunch break, he can hardly find time to communicate with Yukawa.
Seeing each other but not being able to get along is such a torment for a couple in love.
