The night was too dark, and Lü Shu could not see the other party's appearance from a dozen meters away. However, he could feel the tense muscles on the other party's body, and the way they stood made it seem like they were going to jump up and hurt someone at any time.
However, he could vaguely see the black windbreakers on the other party's body swaying in the wind, as well as the biting cold aura of the winter. It was like an invisible wall that prevented strangers from entering.
The other party did not seem to know about Lü Shu's background. Someone was standing on the roof in the middle of the night, no matter how he looked at it …
Lü Shu hesitated for a moment before he decided to climb down the ladder again. After all, the other party seemed to be very skillful, and jumping around on the roof in the middle of the night, no matter how he looked at it, it did not seem normal …
And the most important thing was … the black windbreaker.
This triggered Lü Shu's nerves. Although many people wore it, he could not help but recall the scene in the afternoon when he suddenly encountered it at this time and place.
The other party did not seem to expect Lü Shu to have such a cowardly reaction, and was actually stunned for a moment …
It was impossible for him not to be cowardly. Lü Shu now knew that from the moment he was born, the closest he had been to that strange world was just now.
If there was anything different about the current Lü Shu, it would be the shop system in his mind, the tree in his palm, the fire in his heart, and the dim star map in his chest.
If one were to look deeper, one could also include his body that had eaten the Marrow-Cleansing Fruit.
However, apart from these, he really did not have any combat ability at all. All these things seemed to be quite frightening, but if they were to really fight, he was a hundred percent sure that he would be defeated in a second.
Something like a confident counterattack did not exist in Lü Shu's world, okay? It was common sense to run away if one could not win. God knew what happened to the person who was taken away backstage from the acrobatic performance this afternoon. Lü Shu did not want to end up like that.
He was not a hero, nor was he a hot-blooded teenager with the dream of being a superhero. He was just a third-year high school student who was already lying at the mouth of a well and wanted to see the wider world from the inside.
Lü Shu still had to study the secrets of his body, and he also had to take good care of Lü Xiaoyu until she had the ability to be independent. Just like an older brother watching over his little sister as she grew up, Lü Xiaoyu was quite a scene.
Although Lü Xiaoyu never admitted that they were siblings, even when she named herself, she would always use the word Lü.
Therefore, Lü Shu couldn't have an accident tonight. He still had a lot of things to do.
Lü Shu carried the bamboo basket and slowly climbed down the roof. Then, he looked at the two who were confronting him and turned his head.
The other party was a little confused. What did that mean?
Lü Shu was a little helpless. Brother, hurry up and leave. I'm a little nervous if you guys keep standing here … He pointed in the direction that the other party was originally going, meaning that he would make way for them.
At this time, Lü Shu was ready to run at any time. God knew who this person was.
There were too many strange things happening tonight. Lü Shu felt that he couldn't keep up with the pace.
First, a fire burned the sky of Luoyang City. Then, he met the black windbreaker that he met in the afternoon.
However, although Lü Shu made way for him, the problem was that the other party didn't seem to intend to let him go. He slowly and cautiously walked towards Lü Shu. Then, he nimbly jumped over two roofs.
In the dark night, the moonlight reflected the snow on the roofs into a silver color. His feet crunched on the snow. The footprints on the roofs were black and looked very abrupt.
Speaking of which, could this person have anything to do with the fire? When Lü Shu recalled the way the other party looked just now, it really did seem like he was running for his life!
"Who are you?" A person stood on the rooftop and looked down at Lü Shu. His black cloak fluttered in the biting cold wind.
"I live here. Who are you guys?"
The two people on the rooftop looked at each other. "Why are you on the rooftop in the middle of the night?"
"It's snowing … I'm collecting dried radishes …" Lü Shu raised the bamboo basket in his hand and swept away the snow on it. Sure enough, the dried radishes inside were revealed …
The two people on the rooftop looked at each other. Did he really come up to collect dried radishes?! The snow had already stopped and he only remembered to collect things. Was he an idiot?!
"Go home. It's not safe here," one of them said on the rooftop.
Lü Shu cursed silently. It's you guys who are here that I'm not safe, okay? He turned around and took out the key to go back to his house.
It was only when he took out the key to open the door that he suddenly felt the pressure on top of his head disappear.
Only now did the other party finally believe that there was nothing wrong with him.
Lü Shu closed the door and panted lightly. This world was indeed abnormal.
Previously, he was a little worried. What if everything that happened to him could be sensed? What should he do?
He had this concern because when the fire started, he could vaguely feel that there was something abnormal in that direction.
This was not intuition, but a feeling. It was something real.
At this moment, the white flame in his heart was beating non-stop, and the star chart was slowly rotating in a strange trajectory. If he was sensed, he probably wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being taken away.
But it seemed like the other party didn't have this ability? Or could it be that they couldn't sense everything that happened to him?
During these two encounters, Lü Shu realized that although the other party's behavior was strange, they didn't seem to be someone who would kill the innocent. At the very least, throughout the entire process, the other party didn't use any violent means.
Lü Shu leaned on the sofa and pondered. What was that world like?
At this moment, the two people who were running into the distance whispered to each other, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with him?"
"No fluctuations. He's an ordinary person."
"That's good."
…
"Lü Shu, who were you talking to outside just now?" Lü Xiaoyu came out of the room with her slippers.
Lü Shu didn't know how to explain to her. After all, he didn't even have the time to tell Lü Xiaoyu about everything that happened to him. He planned to tell this little girl when the time was right and let her know that he was no longer an ordinary person and that she shouldn't be impolite in the future!
I wonder if this system will give me other cultivation techniques? If there's one that's suitable for Lü Xiaoyu, it doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Just as Lü Shu was thinking about how to answer Lü Xiaoyu, there was a sudden thud in the courtyard outside their door, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
Lü Shu suddenly turned around. There were too many strange things happening tonight, and he couldn't help but pay attention.
He quietly leaned toward the door and looked through the peephole. There was actually a person lying on the snow outside!
