The cold wind came suddenly.
It was as if there was a knife at the back.
At that moment, the whole waiting hall seemed to be buried by an iceberg.
Everyone felt that their consciousness was frozen by the sudden chill. Then, in the faint thunder that burst out in a trance, they felt dizzy and collapsed in their seats.
Death came for no reason.
Amidst the immense fear, even the screams froze in their hearts. Only coldness spread in their hearts, and the tyrannical sound of thunder reverberated in their souls.
When they turned their heads stiffly in the cold, they saw the back of the figure standing in the corner. It was as if they were looking at death itself, and their eyes stung.
They closed their eyes with difficulty.
They felt the cold blood flowing from the corner of their eyes.
It was just an illusion. It was just an illusion, but the injury at the moment was so real. Even the frozen and necrotic black spots quickly appeared on his hands and feet.
The angry thunder echoed in the soul, and his consciousness became hazy.
This was because the middle-aged man had raised his eyes slightly. That pair of gray eyes had mercilessly destroyed everything.
Huai Shi felt as if he was going to die again.
But fortunately, he had already begun to get used to it. Only the premonition of death screamed crazily in the soul.
The Mirror of Nothingness was dark, and nothing was reflected.
It told him a simple and straightforward result.
If he was the enemy of this person, then there was no possibility of any accident. Huai Shi was dead.
Under his gaze, the heavy burden was imposed on Huai Shi's consciousness layer by layer, as if pressing his head and drowning him in the bottomless ice sea.
He sank inch by inch.
Death was getting closer and closer.
From beginning to end, Huai Shi didn't move, just looked at him.
"Achoo!"
The dead silence was suddenly broken. The man in the gray suit shivered and sneezed with a pale face. However, the illusion that could kill any Spirit was suddenly dispelled.
"Sorry, do you have a tissue?"
He rubbed his nose awkwardly, raised his head, and looked at the middle-aged man. Until the middle-aged man waved his hand, the attendant behind him came forward, took out a pack of tissue from his pocket, and handed it to him.
"Thank you so much."
The man in the gray suit blew his nose in surprise and let out a long breath.
"There's no need to make such a fuss. Grey-robed man, do you think I would bully a child?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him mockingly before looking at Huai Shi. "I was only going to punish you lightly, but you didn't pee your pants out of fear. You have some guts …"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the shampoo gift box on the table. After weighing it in his hand, he revealed a strange smile. "After so many years, this is the first time I've received a gift from someone from the Astronomy Society... No, just treat it as a temporary 'ransom' for letting you go. Put away the reviews."
As he spoke, he threw the box to the attendant behind him.
The young man who seemed to have heard of this name picked up the box in his hand and looked at the two words written on it as if it was the first time he had seen it. He asked curiously, "Father, is this useful?"
"Of course it's useless, idiot."
The middle-aged man slapped the back of his head and reprimanded, "I've already used it. It's all a lie … Modern people's things are all so gaudy. In the end, it's useless, making people look forward to it in vain."
"Then why do we still need this thing?"
"Aren't we going to Shambhala to see your second brother? The duck that we brought along was eaten by me on the way. It's not good to be empty-handed. I heard that he has started to lose his hair recently. If we give this to him, he will be very happy … "
"It's not good to lie to him like this, right?"
"Idiot, this is called fatherly love. How is this lying? And he has lied to us a lot over the years … By the way, how much money do you have? Let's change to another bus. "
"… But the fare is so expensive!"
"How did I teach you to be so stingy? You still dare to sit in the same bus as that scourge. Aren't you afraid of dying young?"
After reprimanding and arguing, the two men turned around and walked to the platform. The conversation gradually faded away.
It disappeared.
It was not until five minutes later that Huai Shi woke up from his daze. He felt cold sweat seeping out from his back.
He heard Crow's admiring sigh in his consciousness.
"You're so brave, young man … With your perfect ability to seek death, I won't be able to beat you soon."
"Huh?"
Huai Shi did not react.
Crow chuckled softly, "Don't you know who was talking to you just now?"
"… Who?" Huai Shi was puzzled. He immediately jumped up from the chair and said in disbelief, "Wait, the person beside him just now … Reputation?"
Isn't that the bastard who hit me in Jinling?!
"Yes, it's him."
Crow glanced at him pitifully. "And the person who just spoke to you and was thoroughly offended by you is his adoptive father — the most wanted criminal in the entire realm, the culprit behind the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven, the uncrowned king known as the eighth of the seven natural enemies, the greatest threat to the Astronomical Association … and the ultimate boss of Green Sun."
"Oh my god!"
As soon as he stood up, Huai Shi felt his legs go soft and he almost fell to the ground.
He was shivering.
It was as if he was used to repeatedly jumping sideways, but in the end, he accidentally jumped onto the Tyrannosaurus Rex's face. Furthermore, he even danced the entire "New Treasure Island" song in his mouth before leaving with small steps while singing and dancing.
It was only after he came to his senses that he realized how close he was to death.
"You have to think on the bright side."
Crow comforted him, "This can be considered a tribulation for the time being. For so many years, not many people in the Astronomical Society have been able to leave alive from his hands … You're equivalent to getting rid of half of your bad luck here! Well, at least half of it is. "
"Isn't this your doing!"
Huai Shi was furious. He did not care about being angry with her and took out his phone from his pocket.
"What are you doing?"
"Reporting." Huai Shi replied in a trembling voice, "Reporting terrorists is the duty of every member of the Astronomical Society …"
"Save it, it's useless."
Crow sneered, "If he was so easy to deal with, would he still be considered a big problem for the Astronomical Society? As long as he doesn't enter the Present Realm, the Astronomical Society can't do anything to him … No, now it seems that guy has already come out of the Present Realm. I understand now! "
"Huh? How do you understand now? "
Huai Shi widened his eyes and looked at her, not knowing what she was thinking.
"I understand the source of your stolen goods … Now that I think about it, I understand. Hahaha, idiot, you did the right thing this time. You swallowed Green Sun's goods!"
Crow was overjoyed, "That guy Ding Nanke should be one of Green Sun's agents in the Present Realm. Haha, on the surface, he is a smuggler, but in fact, he is secretly a member of Green Sun … With the new and old grudges, your reputation in Green Sun has probably reached the point where you won't rest until you die, right? Maybe in a few years, even the Astronomical Society will give you the title of 'Green Sun's Nemesis'. "
Huai Shi's face had turned green.
As green as Green Sun.
It was as if he had already seen his future miserable death in some corner, and he didn't even want to move.
"Is it too late for me to go home now?"
"… You've already bought the ticket." Crow patted his head with pity, "They won't refund it."
Huai Shi was silent for a moment, and made a painful decision, "It's just five hundred thousand. I'll just grit my teeth and throw it into the water."
"Wait, why is it five hundred thousand?"
Crow sensed that something was wrong, "Isn't it three million?"
"…"
Huai Shi's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously avoided Crow's gaze, "Well … This is a bit … It's a long story … You see, I was thinking, four days and three nights is not long …"
"Well, then?"
"Then I thought, why should I spend three million just for a moment of comfort, right?"
Crow frowned, "So?"
Huai Shi coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "So I … Ahem, bought a standing ticket."
"…"
Silence, a long silence.
Crow was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to be astonishment or admiration, he couldn't help but sigh, "You're really a little genius …"
"Who said I wasn't?"
Huai Shi shyly turned her head away, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although he agreed with this point, he also knew that although he was good at everything, his only shortcoming was that he was too thin-skinned and couldn't be praised too much.
But after being scared like this, he really couldn't take it anymore.
He didn't want to get on the bus from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't want to waste the five hundred thousand dollars.
Seeing that the people in the waiting hall were so fierce, and even the boss of Green Sun came and left, he was really afraid that this was another survival game full of villains.
"This broken car, don't tell me there's a hidden setting that only one person can reach the destination alive?" Huai Shi expressed doubts from the bottom of his heart.
Crow sighed helplessly, "I say, have you been persecuted too many times? Did it cause PTSD and paranoia? "
"No, I just … have a phobia of large vehicles, you can understand that, right? What if there's a murder on the Orient Express, a massacre on the Southern Express, or something like that? Wouldn't I be in trouble? If there's a bomb, I won't be able to run away. "
"… At this time, you should bring out your stubborn style!"
Crow glared at him, "Forget it, I'll give you a suggestion."
"Hmm?"
"Do you see this worker who looks like he's about to die from overwork?"
After only a short moment of conversation, Crow raised his wings and pointed to the pale man in the gray suit next to him, the middle-aged worker known as the man in gray, "As long as you stay with him all the way, even if the whole car blows up, you won't lose a single hair."
"That powerful?" Huai Shi was a little incredulous.
Crow nodded, "Yes, that's how powerful he is."
"But, who is he?"
It was obvious that someone who could talk and laugh with the boss of Green Sun was definitely not an ordinary character, right?
"Emmm …"
Crow glanced at him mischievously, "Do you really want to know?"
"Uh …"
Huai Shi hesitated.
Noticing Huai Shi's curious gaze, the man in gray, who had been waiting for a long time, was stunned for a moment. He tried to squeeze out a gentle smile, but it couldn't hide the salted fish smell under the exhaustion of the worker.
… He looks like he's about to die from overwork at any time. He doesn't look like a peerless master!
"So, don't worry about it. You don't need to know too much. Just know that he's harmless to you."
Crow patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "To tell you the truth, although this guy is a little unlucky, he's actually more harmless than anyone else."
"You can rest assured about this."
Crow concluded decisively, "He's the only one who won't try to hurt anyone."
It was rare to get such a serious guarantee from Crow.
This made Huai Shi feel relieved, but at the same time, he was suspicious again.
"You're really not hiding anything from me, right?"
"No, no."
Crow shook his head like a rattle drum, "Why would I hide this kind of thing from you? This time, I've respected your opinion enough and told you everything I know. "
"Really?"
"Really, really!"
Crow's eyes widened, his watery eyes were full of sincerity, "I can swear."
So, Huai Shi finally felt relieved and prepared to get in the car.
He didn't notice that Crow on his shoulder quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
About the man in gray, she did tell Huai Shi everything he needed to know.
Well, except that he was actually a destruction elemental …
