Seven Evil Slips Chapter 5:
Luo Ren hesitated for a whole day and night.
Actually, at the end of the day, he didn't think about it, it's just that fantasy won't bring about any changes and progress, so it's better to do something.
He finally pushed the door open and went in.
Seeing Kiyo's back, and the game screen bursting with blood and blood from the flames.
Luo Ren took two steps closer, Kiyo's back stiffened, and then he took off the earphones.
Look, even though her eyes are preoccupied with chaos and her ears are preoccupied with noises, it's the nature of martial arts practitioners, she still has feelings.
Looking at each other like two strangers.
Luo Ren knew that he must have a stiff expression and distant eyes, and he wanted to act better, but he couldn't pretend, he could pretend to others, but he couldn't pretend to her.
"Better?"
"You know everything?"
At the same time, Luo Ren nodded, "Understood."
Cold field.
Luo Ren said: "Let's play a game with you, is there a two-player mode?"
He lowered his head and looked for the control button of the machine. Kiyo said, "It's hard to fight. Will two people last longer than one?"
Luo Ren said: "Yes."
Return to zero and start again. Luo Ren doesn't look at Kiyo, but concentrates on the game. Her game character is a blond girl with tight suspenders and a strong outfit. She stands shoulder to shoulder with him, rolling, jumping, shooting, and dodging.
At first, running on the streets of the city, and then leveling up, the dark jungle, the cold tomb, more and more monsters, powerful enough to be abnormal, and finally the player began to suffer from scratches, bites, and the blood bar gradually emptied .
The blond girl was rolled up by the tentacle zombie monster, Luo Ren turned his gun and began to attack the monster.
There were zombies rushing in front of them, biting and scratching, but he didn't seem to see them. The guns were only pointed in one direction and kept firing.
Kiyo took off the earphones, looked at him strangely, couldn't help but stop: "Hey!"
He didn't make a sound, the blood tank was exhausted, and he fell to the ground. On the other side, the girl was still inevitably dragged into the darkness by the monster, only faint screams remained.
over, the game developer has made money again.
Luo Ren took off the earphones and asked her: "Have you survived this level before?"
"No."
"So with more helpers, it's better to last longer."
"But they are all dead."
Luo Ren put the headset back on the gun stand: "Everyone is mortal."
Ask again: "Dr. He has communicated with you?"
"Yeah."
"Didn't lie to you again?"
"Show me the video." She smiled.
Since we met, it was the first time I saw her smile, and it didn't look like a small pocket. There was no content in the smile, it was just the coordinated operation of facial muscles.
She asked, "Which one do you like?"
This question is really difficult to answer. For a moment, Luo Ren felt that he wanted to say: How about changing back to a small pocket?
But he held back.
He said: "Everyone is an adult, is it okay to tell the truth? Which one do I like, is it important to you?"
"It's not important," she said.
Luo Ren was silent for a moment: "I think so too."

Huo Zihong stood on the balcony on the second floor of the clubhouse, watching Luo Ren drive away. When he bid farewell to her, he looked calm and said, "I'll go back to Lijiang first, if I need help, or if there's anything for Muyo, call I'm calling."
Huo Zihong vaguely guessed that the result of the meeting was not ideal, and said, "Luo Ren, you want to be more open."
Luo Ren laughed: "Could it be that I can't think about it, if I can't think about everything, I won't live until now."
Huo Zihong went back to his room, no matter how much he sighed and sympathized, Luo Ren was just an outsider, but Muyo was one of his own.
Kiyo was lying on the ground, splitting horizontally, in a straight line, folded his hands, resting his chin, his eyes were soft and calm.
Huo Zihong sat down beside her, reached out and stroked the top of her hair, remembering that when she was first adopted, the skulls of children seemed to be soft and thin, but now, her long hair is thick and her skull is hard, you say she is sick, She still has her strengths.
Kiyo said: "Aunt Hong, Luo Ren said he knew it all. Standing in front of him, I felt as if I had been skinned."
Huo Zihong wept sadly, and the tears fell on the floor, a full drop.
"Kiyo, Aunt Hong doesn't know how to teach you. Aunt Hong can't do many things herself. Doctor He also told me that although I adopted you, I didn't take care of you psychologically. In this way, I have a great responsibility..."
Kiyo sighed, lowered his head, his eyes seemed to look deep into the floor.
Said: "Luo Ren likes to say that everyone is an adult and speaks the truth."
"Aunt Hong, I'm telling you the truth. I don't think you have any responsibility. You adopted me and took care of me. You saved me from freezing to death, starving to death, and dying. You gave me the opportunity to read, read, and reason. I have read reports that some people abuse adopted children, and some beasts prey on young children in the name of adoption. You have prevented me from many disasters. If I grew up with my biological mother, I might wander the streets very early. You have already given me a new life, so you don’t have to think about being responsible to me again, and you don’t owe me anything.”
Huo Zihong was taken aback for a moment, these words really didn't sound like what Kiyo said.
She was a little overwhelmed, as if facing a child growing up, she felt unreal.
Kiyo said again: "A while ago, I met Wenwen's mother in Lijiang."
Uncle Zhang mentioned that matter to Huo Zihong, but it was not true. Huo Zihong didn't know the details: "Is she... still very angry?"
"She said, Wenwen died so badly, why are you still living so well, why haven't you got retribution yet."
Huo Zihong pursed his lips, but Kiyo was calmer than her and said, "I will probably get retribution."
Pause, then added in a low voice: "Sooner or later."
She got up, rubbed her neck, stood by the wall, put her hands on the ground, and stood upside down, her long hair piled up on the ground like scattered clouds.
In her eyes, Huo Zihong became an image of sitting upside down.
Huo Zihong said, "Luo Ren is gone."
"Yeah."
"Is the conversation not going well?"
She thought for a while and said, "I can't say whether it's good or not. Luo Ren doesn't like me. He likes small pockets. I can tell."
"Are you sad? Be an adult and tell the truth."
"It's not sad. I don't think I should get too much love. It's not fair to Wenwen."
"What about you, do you still like Luo Ren?"
Kiyo smiled, this time, she smiled very beautifully.
Said: "I have always liked him."
After finishing speaking, he turned over and sat upright.
"Aunt Hong, do you think I'm sick?"
What should I say? Say yes, will it stimulate her? But if not, the video tape and her abnormality are so conclusive...
Huo Zihong panicked.
Kiyo said: "I don't think I have one, but if you all say that I have one, let's take it for granted."
She is indifferent.
Huo Zihong couldn't continue, so he paused and said, "You should have a good rest today. Dr. He said that there are several new drugs on the market recently. Next, we can try them."
Kiyo said: "Okay."
***
After leaving the clubhouse, Luo Ren's car never stopped and kept driving, not wanting to stop to rest at all.
The scenery outside the car window changes, countless cars, carrying countless people, I don’t know where to go, the day gradually disappears, and the night begins to smear around, and then, the phone vibrates, and a message comes in.
He casually picked it up and looked at it, in the WeChat group, Phoenix Rangers.
Click to enter.
is a system message.
Kido has withdrawn from the group.
Luo Ren didn't say a word, put the phone back where it was, and continued to drive forward. While driving, he suddenly became agitated for no reason, pulled over, pushed the door open, came out, slammed into the door, walked forward a few steps and sat on the side on the railing, gasping for breath.
Looking up, there are scattered stars in the sky.
The phone kept ringing, probably because Cao Pangpang and the others were chatting, asking, and guessing.
Luo Ren doesn't want to see it.
There was the sound of braking and parking. Looking up, an SUV stopped not far away. The thick driver poked his head out of the window and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with the car?"
Luo Ren made a gesture, meaning thank you, he was sleepy and just stopped to wake up.
The driver understood, rolled up the window, started the car, and drove away.
No one stopped after that, all the cars drove by, bringing up a gust of wind, Luo Ren kept counting, until he counted three hundred cars, three hundred strangers.
Do you think he doesn't have enough strangers?
Luo Ren suddenly burst into anger.
Why?
He got up fiercely, turned the car around, and headed towards Kunming again.
When we arrived, it was just dawn, and unexpectedly, we bumped into Huo Zihong and Uncle Zhang at the door, both of them were carrying luggage, and they were about to leave. When they saw Luo Ren's car, they were slightly taken aback.
Luo Ren stopped abruptly and asked, "Where is Kiyo?"
Huo Zihong said, "I ran away."
Suddenly, Luo Ren didn't realize the meaning of the word "run away".
Huo Zihong turned around and pointed to the upstairs window of the clubhouse.
"You should know that Kiyo is very good at climbing walls. The door has never been opened, it should be at night, when everyone is asleep, she opened the window by herself and ran away."
"I didn't bring my mobile phone, nor did I bring my bank card. I guess I only brought cash with me. I left a note."
"Write what?"
What to write? Huo Zihong smiled wryly.
She wrote: Don't look for me, you can't find me if you look for it.
She planned it. When she told her that she was going to try a new drug in the next two days, when she said "yes" so obediently, she had already planned it.
Luo Ren clenched his fist, turned around and strode to the side of the car. Just as he was about to pull the car door, Uncle Zhang said, "Forget it."
"I've been gone for most of the night, do you know which direction to go? It's useless to search."
***
The sun rises high, the golden sunlight shines on the earth, the sound of cars gradually becomes louder, and people come and go on the road in a hurry.
Nobuyo Kiyo walked past a fruit stand, then walked back and asked, "How much is a catty of strawberries?"
"Twelve dollars."
She took out her wallet and began to count the money. There were only two big bills, and the rest were zero bills, and there were also steel coins, tinkling.
She picked up a large handful of coin coins and said, "Two catties."
