The West Lake was as quiet as a mirror. The night breeze stirred up ripples on the surface of the lake. It also ruffled the thin curtains on the balcony of the luxurious hotel by the lake.
"Cheers."
The two figures standing on the balcony raised their goblets and gently clinked them together. A clear and crisp sound rang out.
Gu Jun was drinking fruit juice because he was not in a good condition to drink. Wu Shiyu was drinking red wine. Her cheeks were flushed and it made her look even more languid. He put his arm around her shoulders. They understood each other's feelings. It had been a long time since his surgery and today was going to be a romantic day …
"Dirty-minded Jun, it's a good thing you're in this state." She said, "Or else I wouldn't even be able to touch you."
Gu Jun chuckled, he knew she was referring to the scalpel pain from synesthesia. "But now it's still as sharp as ever."
"Ah …" Wu Shiyu tilted her head back speechlessly. She rolled her eyes and her lips curved into a smile. "Fine, I guess I'll leave it to fate."
They put down the glasses and kissed. He said it tasted of alcohol and she said it tasted of salt. The kiss continued and they moved to the sofa.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang. The two of them had no choice but to stop. He touched her forehead helplessly. It was her cell phone.
They really did not want to be disturbed that night but they could not turn off their phones.
"Hopefully it's just an insurance agent …" Wu Shiyu walked to the coffee table in the living room to grab her phone. Gu Jun snuggled up to her from behind. He sniffed her dark hair and asked in a drawl, "Dirty-minded Yu, why don't you keep your hair long?" She answered as she picked up her phone. "I did when I was young but I cut it off because I was too lazy to take care of it."
Wu Shiyu glanced at the phone. "It's my aunt." She answered with confusion. "Hello? Aunt? "
Gu Jun was close enough to hear Kedou's mother's anxious voice. "Shi Yu, something strange has happened to Kedou." Ke Dou's mother explained the situation. "She said it was Ah Jun's older sister. Recently, she has been telling her stories every night. They are all about monsters eating people …"
Hearing this, Wu Shiyu completely sobered up from his tipsy state. He heard some terrifying and strange sounds, as well as the fishy smell of blood …
Gu Jun's entire body was cold. His tightly clenched heart was filled with shock and anger. His head was faintly swollen with pain. Something had happened, something had happened …
He shook his head at Wu Shiyu and said in a suppressed voice, "I don't have an elder sister … not in my memories."
But … could I have an older sister?
Gu Jun's rationality was unable to give him a negative answer. Blood sister, blood sister, cousin sister, elder sister, elder sister, he had no way of knowing whether any of these existed or not because everything he knew about his family background was a lie. Only one sentence was true, "We were born to worship the family of R'yleh …" Gu Jun thought to himself.
"Auntie, I will call the people who are supposed to protect you to check out the situation. Then Dirty-minded Jun and I will hurry over. Please keep a close eye on Kedou."
Over the past few days, the Wu and Lee family had been under the protection of Shen Hai City's Phecda Unit. But this also proved how bad the situation was. Their colleagues with high perceptive sense did not notice the intruder at all.
Before Wu Shiyu ended the call, Gu Jun had already used his phone to call for backup. Initially, he wanted to have Captain Gao arrange for a helicopter to transport them back but now that the situation was unclear, Phecda did not recommend taking a helicopter. Therefore, it was better to use a motorcade.
Wu Shiyu got more information from his aunt. Kedou could not call out the name of 'Big Sister Dirty-minded Jun'. She only said that the person had a pleasant voice and was very playful. The person was the Smiling Buddha from the lion dance team, it was the Smiling Buddha that they saw at the ancient town.
But it was probably not the Smiling Buddha because the man and his friends were still under house arrest.
Gu Jun had a feeling that Kedou was seeing a different shadow … or perhaps the darkness had made use of the Smiling Buddha's image …
Captain Gao and the rest soon came to knock on the door. The two shared a complicated look. Valentine's Day had ended.
On the way back to Shen Hai City, the more Gu Jun thought about it, the angrier he became. He knew those bastards would not forgive him … Kedou was only 5 years old. Even though her parents had taught her to be careful of strangers, she still did not know how to distinguish between strangers and strangers. Furthermore, she had a bright and outgoing personality.
'Is this related to that mysterious signal, that symbol? ' He was not sure.
While the two returned, the Wu family was moved to the base's safe house by the guards. However, to ensure that the two could conduct an on-the-spot investigation, the Lee family was escorted to the base's safe house.
Kedou had no idea what was going on. She even took a nap on the living room sofa. When Gu Jun and Kedou arrived at the heavily guarded Lee family home, it was already midnight. Kedou was woken up by her mother. When she saw the two, she was overjoyed. "Big Sister Shi Yu, Big Brother Dirty-minded Jun!"
Seeing the two of them, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li finally found their backbone and could sit down to take a breather.
"Kedou." Wu Shiyu hugged her cousin and sighed in relief. Then she said dejectedly, "You little idiot, you're just jealous of my boyfriend's handsomeness, aren't you?"
"Huh? What? "Kedou exclaimed," What did I do? "
Gu Jun couldn't help but rub Kedou's head. Now that he saw she was safe, the weight in his heart eased.
Who could blame the little idiot? Of course she should have told the adults about this earlier but they didn't ask about it for the past few days. The darkness had many ways to trick a 5-year-old child … Kedou said it was his big sister who told her to keep it a secret because she wanted to give him a big surprise.
On the other hand, the child was used to fairy tales and cartoons. He did not think it was a problem for a person to walk out from a pile of dolls.
Furthermore, Kedou knew he and Dirty-minded Yu were very capable. She had seen it on television so it was not surprising that his big sister was also very capable.
Before they reached the children's room that was also guarded, Wu Siyu used an Ancient Seal on Kedou. Kedou only gasped in shock, "Fireworks!" There was no darkness corruption, or perhaps it was useless. But Gu Jun's headache worsened. Captain Gao and the rest knew how to use the Ancient Seal so they did not find it strange. Kedou's parents were stunned.
"Here, it's just a new laser device." Wu Shiyu waved something in his hand. "It's for a mental checkup. Kedou is doing fine."
Kedou's parents saw the ring of keys in their niece's hand …
"Kedou, let's go to your room now." Wu Shiyu placed the keys back into his pocket and picked up his cousin. "How did you get to know that big sister? What kind of monster stories did she tell you? Tell me everything, okay?"
"Sure." Kedou nodded and turned to Gu Jun, "But I have something to tell Brother Dirty-minded Jun first, it was his big sister who asked me to help her!"
Before they could react, Kedou's expression shifted. She squeezed her face into a strange grimace and said in a hoarse voice, "Dear little brother, good evening. Children are very cute but … they can be cuter. This is a small new year present for you."
Her voice was so strange, it sounded like it was squeezed out from her throat, it did not sound human.
