In the silence, only Walker's vague screams could be heard.
He twisted crazily on the ground, trying to activate the source substance and create a dream to hide himself, but his soul that was on the verge of shattering no longer had any source substance.
The burning youth smiled and stepped forward.
Walker opened his mouth and screamed with all his might with his distorted face. Looking at the viewing platform, his expression was no longer confident and relaxed. All that was left was panic and pleading.
But no one responded.
In the silence, only the low footsteps of the youth who had turned into an evil spirit could be heard.
There was also the sudden sound of cello melody.
G-string.
Huai Shi was stunned. He turned around and looked at the viewing platform above his head. On the clothes rack next to the muscular old man, Huai Shi's mobile phone rang.
"Sorry, can you help me get it?"
"…"
In the silence of everyone, only the big cousin enthusiastically helped him take out the phone, opened the window, and threw it over.
"Thank you!"
Huai Shi caught the phone and answered the call, "Hello, who is it?"
On the phone was a rather mature and gentle female voice, "Is this Mr. Huai Shi?"
"Yes." Huai Shi nodded, "What's the matter?"
"Because we didn't get a reply from you, we have to notify you manually." The woman calmly said, "The ABRSM professional cello exam you applied for will be held at 10 o 'clock tomorrow morning. Please register 15 minutes in advance, otherwise, it will be regarded as you giving up the exam."
"What?"
In an instant, Huai Shi was stunned in place, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The original crazy killing intent and ferociousness disappeared, replaced by hesitation and helplessness.
"Mr. Huai Shi, are you listening?"
Huai Shi trembled and stammered, "Uh, okay … I, I know …"
"Is there an accident?"
"No! No! "Huai Shi raised his voice in panic," Absolutely not! "
Other than being so busy that he forgot about the exam and didn't practice for the past few days, there was no accident at all.
Damn, how could I forget about this!
How could he forget!
Huai Shi stomped his feet in regret and slapped himself on the forehead. This is bad!
"… Then, I wish you good results."
The woman on the phone politely said goodbye and hung up.
In the dead silence, Huai Shi maintained his stiff posture. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses. His original happiness had disappeared without a trace.
Ever since half a month ago, he had stopped practicing the guqin since he started his advancement.
He was definitely going to fail this exam.
Huai Shi listened to the busy tone on the phone and put down his hand in a daze. Then, he couldn't help but swear.
It was as if he had fallen from happiness to despair in an instant. Huai Shi suddenly realized that happiness belonged to others, and he had nothing …
So infuriating!
Why waste time on this piece of trash!
He angrily reached out and picked up the terrified Nightmare.
"The sweet dream is over, Mr. Walker."
He raised his hand and condensed plague ash. Then, he stuffed it into his nostrils and mouth. "Now, the time of the nightmare is over!"
When Huai Shi put down his hand, his eyes finally opened.
The remaining one eye was dull.
There was no spirit.
Only numb breathing and heartbeat were left.
The excessive amount of negative Origin Substances had already completely swallowed up his shattered soul, and the Nightmare Demon was finally drowned out by endless despair.
This was the end of this duel.
Huai Shi slowly let go of his hand and let the drooling retard fall to the ground. He looked back at the high platform behind him and took two steps back.
You can deal with the rest yourselves.
Behind the floor-to-ceiling glass, the old man nodded expressionlessly, but a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Just a little more.
If it wasn't for that phone call …
"I'm afraid he's not your opponent, Teacher Luo." Eldest Cousin handed over an apple and grabbed a banana for himself, munching on it with relish. "That child only received pain from death, not a single bit of happiness.
In fact, he abhorred the idea of killing something.
Such a person is destined to not be your successor, and it's impossible for him to … complete that thing. "
"Yes."
The old man lowered his eyes. "Life is not as you wish."
Big Cousin finished eating and threw away the banana peel. He rubbed his hands and said seriously, "There's no need to be so anxious. We can actually think of another way."
"There's not enough time."
Elder Luo slowly shook his head with a calm expression. "Some things have to be done personally, right?"
Big Cousin seemed to want to say something, but Huai Shi had already rushed in with hurried footsteps. He picked up his coat and hurriedly waved to everyone. He shouted to the old man, "I'll take the day off tomorrow!"
"Take the day off?"
Elder Luo frowned. "For what?"
"Exams! Do you think you're the only teacher in the world? "
Huai Shi answered matter-of-factly. Then, he hurriedly put on his headgear, picked up Yuan Zhao, who looked the most idle in the corner, and rushed out of the door.
"Hey! What are you doing! "
Yuan Zhao struggled with all his might.
"There's no time to explain. Let's go and get the car!"
"But, but I'm only 14 years old and don't have a driver's license …"
"Just step on the gas pedal. Let's go!"
Bang!
The sound of collision came from the end of the corridor.
They hit the wall.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, but Big Cousin couldn't help but laugh out loud. His laughter was very unnatural.
"Look, Teacher Luo. Young people's problems should be solved by them."
Big Cousin turned back and looked at the silent old man. "I think there's no need to be in such a hurry."
"Let's wait and see."
The old man lowered his eyes. "Let me wait and see …"
.
.
In the evening, Ai Qing saw Yoo Dong-ri in the lounge of the Jinling branch.
He was sitting on the chair, untouched by the coffee in front of him as if he was waiting for someone.
She shook her head and walked over with her walking stick. "He's not here."
"I'll wait for you."
Yoo Dong-ri shook his head and smiled. He pointed to the seat in front of him and asked, "Are you free?"
Ai Qing was stunned for a moment and looked at him deeply. After a long time, she slowly shook her head. "It doesn't matter. It's dinner time."
She sat opposite Yoo Dong-ri and put the dinner box in her hand on the table.
There was a vegetable salad and a few slices of meat.
She picked up her fork. "There's an overall planning meeting later. Do you mind if I talk while eating?"
Yoo Dong-ri snapped his fingers and signaled the waiter to bring a cup of hot tea. Then, he looked back at her. "It's not good for your stomach to eat cold food all the time."
"Where did you learn to speak like an honest person?"
Ai Qing frowned. "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. I just saw my ex-girlfriend and my tone hasn't changed." Yoo Dong-ri coughed awkwardly. "Don't worry, I'm not borrowing money."
"… I'm relieved to hear that."
Ai Qing replied calmly. It was unknown whether she was being sarcastic or telling the truth. "So, you're saying that there are more troublesome problems waiting for me?"
"About Huai Shi …"
Ai Qing understood. Problems related to him were generally troublesome. However, after Yoo Dong-ri paused for a moment, he continued, "And you."
Thus, the problem became more and more troublesome.
"I'm not sure about the Yin family's attitude." She said bluntly, "But Huai Shi should be seen as a threat, right? Especially after he showed his ability as a legendary investigator … You should know how rare this title is. "
Yoo Dong-ri nodded speechlessly.
He already knew that this unlucky child could always surprise people in unexpected places.
There were only sixteen rare titles in the world. This was even rarer than a fifth-order ascendant. Even if the user base of the Dark Net was not high, an ascendant who could kill his way out of the Nightmare Game and obtain the title of a legendary was not to be underestimated.
Especially when this ascendant had a grudge against them.
It was normal for the Yin family to make a move.
But now, they did not need to worry about this, especially after their cousin publicly expressed his admiration for Huai Shi. Even if he did not seem to be arrogant and approachable, he was still the director of the Jinling Social Security Bureau. Every word and action of his could represent the attitude of Dongxia.
Not to mention, his younger sister was the current second Prince of Dongxia, the White Emperor's son. His father was the famous Enemy of All Worlds, Chu Hai. With such a character, even if he was an idiot, Jinling would tremble when he stomped his feet.
And the most terrible thing was that he was not an idiot.
When he deliberately reminded everyone that he did not want anything unpleasant to happen, the Yin family naturally would not choose to let something happen that no one wanted to happen.
If the Yin Family wanted to kill Huai Shi, they would have let him die openly and without reproach. They wouldn't have done it behind his back and let him die without knowing the reason behind it.
Yoo Dong-ri was not worried about the storm on the surface. After all, the kid's life was very tough, so it was fine to go through a lot of trouble.
"Rather than Huai Shi, I'm actually more worried about you."
Yoo Dong-ri looked at her deeply. "The Yin family has started to put pressure on you recently, right?"
Ai Qing did not say anything. She just lowered her head and ate her dinner. Even the frequency of her movements did not change. After a long time, she put down the meal box in her hand and took out a napkin to wipe her mouth. She raised her head and said, "This has nothing to do with you."
"What about Huai Shi?"
Yoo Dong-ri asked. Ai Qing frowned.
"A few days ago, an account checked the Yin family's industrial structure and the detailed information of the main members." Yoo Dong-ri frowned. "I got this information through my friend's channel."
"It might not be Huai Shi."
Yoo Dong-ri did not say anything. He directly took out his phone and showed Ai Qing the profile picture of the account.
She was stunned for a long time. After a long time, she sighed softly. "This picture is too stupid … Who took it for him?"
"I also want to know."
Yoo Dong-ri said, "Even if you don't want to get him involved, he still wants to jump into this muddy water. Moreover, he should care about you."
Ai Qing was expressionless. "It's not as exaggerated as you think."
"It's also not as simple as you think, right?"
Yoo Dong-ri looked at her. After a long time, he could not help but sigh. "To be honest, I didn't expect that your mother would be Huai Shi's cello teacher … I should have thought of it a long time ago. The most famous cellist in Dongxia was Ai Ting, your mother."
In the silence, Ai Qing's eyes changed.
It was as if the cover hanging outside had been torn apart by an angry iron piece, revealing a chilling edge.
"I don't know what you want to say, Yoo Dong-ri, but I have to remind you of one thing."
She stared into the eyes of the man in front of her and said word by word, "Don't mention her name, not even a word!"
